this is the the news live from the world health organization warns coronavirus denial as it's real it's dangerous and it kills the stock message comes after protesters tried to storm the german parliament during i rally against coronavirus control measures political leaders in germany denounced the action also on the program hopes for a new era in arab israeli relations as the 1st direct commercial flight between israel and the united arab emirates touches down and the feelings discussed incessant us. i'm going to back calls yes we can moment 5 years ago look at how her

decision to accept more than a 1000000 migrants this reshaped europe. i'm still gal welcome to the program the world health organization has sent a blunt message to demonstrators who oppose coronavirus restrictions they say at the virus is real it's dangerous and it kills the warning follows or valley against the german government's pandemic policies which both thousands on to the streets here in berlin some protesters including far right activists attempted to storm the parliament building latest from across the political spectrum have come together to condemn the action. it looks like a normal monday in central balin the tourists a back stock is open for visitors again but the scenes of unrest at the. weekends

are on many people's minds. saturday evening far right extremists pushed through police lines to the top of that i stuck steps. just pictures that my generation just isn't familiar with. these people stand for different values and to see that also here in germany there are so many people who think differently and have different values that pains me. to. stand the demonstrators shouted resistance. and vias and us folk we are the people . the black white and red of the colors of the old imperial german right used now by neo nazis in front of that i stuck it makes for shocking symbolism. other demonstrators who filled berlin at the weekend and consisted largely of peaceful coronavirus skeptics were no longer the center of attention.

6 policemen and women were invited to the official residence of the german president frank photo steinmeyer thanked them and their colleagues for their composed reaction at the weekend and had a message to the demonstrators mind 1st an indicator of a door my empathy ends where demonstrators let themselves be instrumental ised by enemies of democracy and by political agitators. they are. if you close ranks with right wing extremists in the streets or even if you just walk side by side with new nazis and anti semites if you don't distance yourself clearly and proactively you're on their side and. must submit to. an accusation that corona skeptics have rejected in a heated discussion with journalists they insisted the far right where a friends. group and that the organizers had indeed distanced themselves. according

to polls the vast majority of germans support the government's anti corona measures . that's also the message anglo-american spokesman had. merged i want to thank the vast majority of the 83000000 people in this country all those who behave in a reasonable prudent and respectful manner and adhere to the rules in this pandemic even if that's not always easy. the coronas skeptics are making plans for their next demonstration observers will be watching to see whether they succeed in distancing themselves from far right groups more clearly. let's take a closer look at this with g.w. political correspondent kate brady welcome kate dramatic pictures of people storming the parliament building like we saw can look like a major threat to democracy is it. well you certainly can look at ways but

quite frankly it is not the case that symbolically speaking the those images that we saw from saturday evening carry a lot of weight that high stock is historically and emotionally significant to many people both in here in germany and aboard and that some of the sentiment that we were hearing in that report just now as well but what it is essentially a symbolic remind all of the threats all of the far right extremists seen in germany right now it is real and it is present and we're seeing how they are becoming more present in the public sphere as well something that just a few years ago was very much still a should do here in germany but now we're seeing how there are known cases of far right extremism in institutions in germany we've had a wing there flugel a part of a democratically elected party the alternative for germany party is now under surveillance and on top of that so we've also seen how people are willing at the

weekend as well to walk alongside these people many people telling me when i was there reporting on saturday that well everyone is is able to have their opinion here in germany but of course as we heard from front of the german president that doesn't quite cut it when it comes to foreign extremism but it is at work pointed out that not all of these demonstrations demonstrators attending these protests are far right extremists what we're seeing is a really bizarre to be honest mixed bag of people from coronavirus skeptics who feel that their rights are being infringed by corona virus protection measures you have empty boxes conspiracy theories but also a significant number of fall right extremists and what one does that and what consequence is that there will be arrests made charges brought be used for the people who planned the police operation. that certainly is going to be

a big debate now and there's already a debate on going in germany about what the future security of the bundestag of the i started building the pollen the building will look like but we're already seeing in a way the effects over the weekend as well the courts here in berlin have already called off a planned long term camp protest by the same people who organize these coronavirus skeptic protests that we had that's already been banned that was going to be a 2 week long camping protest between the brandenburg gate in the victory column here in the capital because they all thought it just didn't see that there was going to be possible for protesters to to maintain those coronavirus protection measures so certainly as i feel it's going to be a clampdown on these protests going forward especially when it comes to ensuring the public safety of people here in germany political correspondent kate brady

thank you. first of a commercial passenger flight from israel to the united arab emirates just landed in abu dhabi the plane took off from tel aviv and crossed to jordan and saudi arabia and the historical flight was the start of a new either of improved relations between israel and the arab world u.s. brokered deal has normalized diplomatic relations between israel and the u.a.e. the 1st such arab israeli accorded more than 20 years. a maiden voyage of historic proportions. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called in to congratulate the delegation onboard. showgrounds going to school this is a historic day you are flying the 1st israeli flight over saudi arabia in broad daylight on the way to making historic peace with the united arab emirates and i am

excited because i worked for this for decades and have always believed that it's possible to make peace in exchange for peace. the 1st ever commercial flight from tel aviv to abu dhabi comes after the united arab emirates as the 1st gulf country and only the 3rd arab nation normalized its relations with israel on the flight as part of a new pact brokered by the us over the last years people have spoken about all of the bad things that have happened in the middle east and all the conflict in the chaos of the division has existed for the last decades but i do believe that this is not sure and yet i do hope from this month's all people that peace is possible and that there is a new chapter that could be read it. in another historic breakthrough the israeli plane also received permission to cross saudi arabian airspace this is the 1st public sign of saudi cooperation with israel after years of behind the scenes

dealings and it goes against the longstanding palestinian position that relations with the arab countries should only occur if israel withdraws from occupied territory and accepts palestinian statehood a clear touchdown for israel and for the trumpet ministration in the middle east and that with just months to go before the us elections. well if you had to have a deal was brokered a by the united states so let's take a closer look at washington's role with daintily correspondent all of the solitude joins us live from the u.s. capitol welcome to all of us how big a topic is this in the united states. it's certainly a topic that donald trump is proud of it certainly also one of his biggest achievements so far in foreign policy but the american voters are looking at other problems right now just look at the coronavirus statistics with $6000000.00 cases

in the united states and counting 182000 casualties the unemployment rate is a 10 percent the country's in a deep recession millions of americans are also facing eviction right now so they might lose their homes because they haven't been able to pay their rents within the last weeks and months now the peace deal here reached between israel and the united arab emirates looks good on transfer records but again it's not the most important topic right now for the american voters ok so that's right now the election of course just months away i mean any notable. foreign policy initiatives really don't think of much in u.s. elections is this likely to be any different is does this give trump something to trump it. will certainly try to use it if you look at polls and present trump has always been very popular when it came to the economy that was of course demick so things have changed a lot and he will certainly also try to use this now and this foreign policy

success for his campaign will make the case that he delivered on foreign policy bringing peace to the middle east of course a very prestigious and field and a very big challenge that he said himself but joe biden brings in decades of experience in the senate as well as vice president in foreign policy and it will be difficult for donald trump to make that case and keep up with joe biden at least in foreign policy and on. the president's critics in the house are they giving him back how much credit are they giving him for this deal. well you have to look at his record and if you look at it from the perspective of the critics then president from might have tried very hard to reach such deals in foreign policy but he hardly was ever successful look at north korea he met the dictator kim young when he didn't talk to him on eye level tried to talk him out of his nuclear weapons arsenal he failed even strengthened the north korean hand he exerted

a maximum pressure campaign on iran failed with that as well the world is also still waiting to see a trade deal between the united states and china that is not completed yet and if his biggest goal perhaps was to reach a peace deal between israel and the palestinians now critics say that what's been reached so far is very much for the advantage of israel now in contrast this peace agreement between israel and the united arab emirates that's a real success but it's one in a list of many failed attempts and all of a solace in washington thank you so much. let's have a look at the u.s. election campaign democratic presidential candidate joe biden's bones to staving tack on donald trump as speaking in pittsburgh missed by describe the president is a toxic presence and accused him of being responsible for the race related to violence gripping parts of america this president long ago forfeited a moral leadership in this country he can't stop the violence because for years

he's formatted you know he may believe malvina words law and order makes him strong but is fair you to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is. i want to make it absolutely clear something very clear about all of this right is not protesting lutein is now protesting setting fires is not protesting none of this is protest it's lawlessness plain and simple and those who do it should be prosecuted violence will not bring change and only bring destruction joe biden has take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world sudan's transitional government has signed a peace agreement with 5 rebel groups at a ceremony in neighboring south sudan it's seen as a major step towards resolving deep rooted conflicts that raged for 17 years under

the rule of former leader omar al bashir. a battle of ruses embattled president alexander lukashenko and his high ranking officials in barred from entering a stone yet not via any voting states blacklisting comes in response to the president said crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators following a disputed presidential elections with 100 people were arrested during protests on sunday. one of greece's most important talking about tickle sides is narrowly escaped wildfires that flames reach the gates of my seanie before firefighters brought the blaze under control my city is one of the major centers of ancient greek civilization the ruins of all 3000 years on. the french president emanuel macro has arrived in the lebanese capital beirut for his 2nd visit since a huge explosion devastated the city's port 4 weeks ago president macro's expects

to press the lebanese government to make sweeping reforms to tackle an economy in tatters and increasing sectarian tensions you know have to shortly after the lebanese president asked the country's former ambassador to burn lane was to a deep to fold a new government the diplomat didn't waste any time. hours after being designated prime minister mr for a deep took to the streets of beirut it was a brave move. because much of the lebanese capital was reduced to rubble after thousands of tons of unstable chemicals exploded in the harbor nearly 4 weeks ago. the blast killed more than 200 people and destroyed what little was left of some people's faith in the government. had come to restore some of that trust. we will work hand in hand to rebuild what was destroyed. and now. once

we form a new government we will accelerate the investigation and the result and that will be made public as soon as possible. that the public relations exercise was met with an angry response by many of us the explosion was only the latest disaster blamed on the government a government that a devious part of the economy is in deep recession the currency in freefall corruption and mismanagement have wrecked basic services the man has a year to live if the government protestors subsided when the coronavirus hits only to flare up again after the blast. how do i know you're not one of the people you are a member of the ruling elite shouts one woman we do not recognize you. confronted with the rage pulsing through the capital the new prime minister beat

a hasty retreat from the crowds chanting revolution. and all this week d w looking back 5 years to when hundreds of thousands of people mostly from syria escaped war and persecution and headed for the european union to see graph. it was a pivotal moment for the e.u. and its open borders policy some member states close their front to the after initially allowing refugees to pass the news biggest member of the main destination for many of those fleeing was germany so how would it respond to this crisis well this rebuts chance and i'm glad that will change the course of european history chief political editor. was there on this day 5 years ago as i'm going to battle laid out our policy it was the moment that defined going to merkel's response to the 2015 migration crisis if you missed the shot and us it was the german

equivalent of this yes we care. i was there 5 years ago when desperate migrants in hungary set off on foot towards germany just hours later i'm going to marco singlehandedly decided to keep germany's borders open the scenes of an open welcoming germany went around the world. 5 years on this raises the question did germany make it and at what cost. in 2015 many an angle or merkel's own c.d.u. party were against her open arms policy. then finance minister was one of them his key concern was losing control for today's speak of germany's parliament it still is. but for bible one has to prevent the impression that there is a loss of control that situation was crucial for a few months but we've mostly overcome its effect by now we need

a european solution to these problems. because of problems instead of more europe national reflexes kicked in across the continent in germany america's decision helped launch a populist party into parliament the far right alternative for germany. the f.t. supports have been fizzling out until merkel's we will make it moment ignited the party's rise to become a fixture of germany's political landscape its co-founder alexander garland freely admits that merkel's open border policy helped propel his party to parliament. we didn't make it and we can't make it it's nobody's fault but it's simply impossible to let so many people from a totally different cultural background who behave so differently into a country and say we can make it. a

matter of decision was humanitarian yet many also hopes the migrants would be able to meet germany's growing demand for skilled workers a new survey of taint exclusively by d.w. before publication shows a mixed picture 5 years on half of these refugees are in some form of employment or education the authors of the study germany did reasonably well mostly because of its economic strength. almost to the day 5 years after her yes we can moment same place same setting merkel says she would do the same again. overall i would take the same decisions again that's right. but she warns of tough times ahead. and we will now see a phase where jenaveve rise in unemployment will make it again more difficult to get those people to work who have only recently arrived here as refugees or as

migrants. for now though germans are more busy with corona but debating migration both have proved to be political gain changes while germany has undoubtedly mastered the effects of 2015 economically politically anger machall valves not to let that moment repeat itself a moment that changed germany and will define her legacy. while many of the people who fled say europe were escaping the war in syria sued hafiz director of the center for humanitarian action and is a former head of the un food program in syria welcome to d.w. what do you think has chancellor merkel delivered on her promise to syrian refugees until it is delivered 4 years on this promise have been 2 sides of this promise of war refugees are welcome in germany at least for some period of the other wars we

have made a big mistake we stopped funding humanitarian aid in syria and the neighboring countries to such an extent was surely a trigger for people to move want to move to europe and merkel promised to fund at least 50 percent of what is needed in the region in the future and i can control for my time in the region if this has been really delivered on the other hand we have the situation today where syrian refugees now are stranded in the islands we have overcrowded recants we have promises to take at least the sea kids out of these camps to germany and there is not much happening today. or in the middle of this coronavirus crisis so of course that was very much taken our eye off what's going on in syria at the moment are people still trying to leave the country in the numbers they were 5 years ago. surely not and what this has

a couple of reasons are more one would be difficult to say well because we start this migration to germany year on that this has ended and the trigger for the people has and the key issue is the people can't leave the country from syria anymore because all of us up close them this good you big disasters and not west syria for example in italy because the turkish border is closed as well at the same time in the region we have many people who get very little for to get these days especially this year only 20 percent of the aunts are coming over john needed to support syrian refugees in the region in their home reaching plus we have the issue of many syrians reach europe and they can either reach germany because there is no legal way to reach the german border as a refugee from aman more cambay on from the military and c b 2 or so all serious commissions once thought you were. in peoples around in the

military and you are importing them back to libya where they are torture. or deported again this is a key challenge people are not coming from syria anymore for very good reasons well thank you for outlining the. center for humanitarian action thank you so much for joining us. time for a quick line of sports and tokyo has got back in the olympic groove by putting the flame on display ahead of next year's delayed games 2020 lympics were meant to conclude in the japanese company this month but of course have been postponed for a year because of the coronavirus pandemic so the flame will stay at the japanese olympic museum next to the national stadium for 2 months the tokyo games suffered another last 21 japanese prime minister shinzo said he would be stepping down due to ill health. the 1st pandas to be born in
