this is news live from berlin coronavirus forces israel back into lockdown. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says tough new restrictions will take effect on friday as the main jewish holiday season begins israel currently has one of the highest infection rates in the world also on the program. authorities warn there could be mass feet tallit he's as wildfires ravaged 3 u.s. states thousands of people who fled to safety are now returning home to scenes of devastation. and chaos on the grid as drivers struggle to get to grips with

formulas once new a circuit we take a look at the best of the action from the tuscan grand prix. tilton welcome to the program israel has become the 1st country to announce a 2nd to national lockdown to combat the coronavirus it comes after a surge in new infections topping $4000.00 in a single day that's the highest rate since the outbreak began prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the new lockdown will begin on friday and last for 3 weeks . as israel's outbreak threatened to race out of control benjamin netanyahu announced the unpopular but perhaps unavoidable decision look you know you won't be today we decided on a strict lockdown plan for 3 weeks with an option to extend but as of now we've

decided that the lockdown will last until the end of the holiday. door pyramus lot of health ministry executives and hospital managers have warned us that death rates are forcing the application of immediate measures. part of the medical staff and the hospitals are overwhelmed. israel has one of the highest per capita infection rates in the world over $1100.00 people have died for days israelis have been protesting to demand that yahoo stepped down for a legit corruption and for bundling the response to the covert 1000 crisis. after the lockdown announcement on sunday demonstrators blocked roads at israel's ben gurion airport or netanyahu was due to fly to the u.s. to sign a peace deal to normalize ties with bahrain. we have a problem it is. wrong. he says the good thing.

it's the good old mangy i think this old. piece of me sitting here told the most any of. their. customers. that netanyahu will fly back to israel after formally signing the agreement with bahrain on tuesday when he returns the crisis will be waiting for him. to do a reporter jill dougherty joins us now he's been following this story for us so joel tell me what exactly prompted this new lockdown announcement well israel is really battling its worst ever outbreak of the corona virus pandemic and the numbers tell the story here we can have a look at them now the number of daily new infections has shot up back in march it was in its low hundreds that's when israel implemented its 1st lockdown basically

becoming the one of the 1st countries to completely close its borders which had the desired effect the numbers went down almost 0 but then the country eased its lock down some say too quickly and we see that spike in new infections reaching. $4000.00 a day in recent days which is really a worrying and dramatic spike and israel now has the 2nd worst concentration of coronavirus by population health authorities have sounded the alarm saying that hospitals are at capacity in fact some are double their capacity and they have called for action so we can hear now from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu about why his cabinet decided to call for this new lockdown. bill home on thursday they waved a red flag ministry executives and hospital managers have warned us that death rates are forcing the up location of immediate measures a part of the medical stuff in the hospitals are overwhelmed with.

well israelis now have a few days to prepare for that lockdown it starts on friday its jews are lost at least for 3 weeks and during that time israelis will not be allowed to move more than 500 meters from their homes shops and schools and many businesses will be closed only some supermarkets and pharmacies will be allowed to stay i've been under severe conditions so this is really is a return to the kind of conditions that many people had thought were behind them so what are support for these measures actually look like in israel is facing wide support among the population it's not being received very well and particularly amongst the olfa docs population and that's because this is happening right in the middle of the israeli's high holiday season the jewish high holiday season it's going to over encompass several important dates such as pool and these are dates when many people usually go to the synagogue or meet friends and family and they want to be able to do that and as a result the oath of office community is really speaking out against this in particular one government minister an ultra orthodox jew who has resigned his

position in protest and it's a bit of a political gamble for the prime minister benjamin netanyahu could because he really has relied on the support of that community in the pos but for him to do nothing in the face of that massive spike would also be a big political gamble over at let's stay with the prime minister right now i mean benjamin netanyahu is actually facing a head wind back at home in israel listening he's saying major demonstrations every week at the front of his house in jerusalem the crowds call for him to resign and that's because of a combination of factors the coronavirus handling is one issue that they're upset about but also there's the corruption allegations that are still hanging over his head we're looking at pictures now of the demonstrations from last saturday and we've been seeing these scenes basically every weekend for the past few months or so with this new law down at least these demonstrations will be off the streets now as if the prime minister is battling this at home he's actually flying off at the moment to washington where he will be soon signing in accord with bahrain to normal

normalize diplomatic relations he's getting some criticism from other arab countries over that all right. thanks for keeping us up to date. let's have a look now at some other stories making news around the world the world health organization has reported a record one day rise in cases of the coronavirus around the globe just under 308000 positive cases of the virus reported to the w.h.o. in the previous 24 hours india the u.s. and brazil accounted for the biggest increases in new case numbers. the turkish research ship at the center of tensions with greece over contested territory in the eastern mediterranean has returned to waters near southern turkey says it's a positive step towards easing the dispute over oil and gas exploration but turkey says the ships return is not a sign that it is backing down the software giant oracle has won the bidding war for tick tocks u.s.

. you're up to date coming up we have a documentary film looking at the secret talks between israel and the palestinian liberation organization that led to the oslo peace process accords there will be more news coming up in just 45 minutes time i'm aaron tilton in berlin thanks for joining us the feel. good. life on earth we want to kind and. get a coincidence. or isn't topical happened. it's a bit like winning the lottery. the 1st or unique start september 18th on t.w. .

it's hard to find an opening to my story. a tale of a small footnote in the history of our region. i can only write my own private memories of these 3 years of hope and anguish. is this a tale of triumph. or defeat. the ending to our story has not yet been written.

they weren't believe i'm that stupid. perhaps i should start with one decisive wednesday in july of 1902 professor he has failed call me up with a dangerous proposition to join him for a secret meeting with our sworn enemies the palestinian liberation organization known to all as the p.l.o. . joined us fighting shoulder to shoulder with the palestinian revolution against the zionist and of palestine all of palestine is vera arab arab ever. the p.l.o. was a terrorist organization led by yasser arafat

a man many israelis considered hitler successor. our thought believed in an armed struggle fighting for palestinian freedom he took pride in the slaughter of the athletes at the munich olympics opening fire on school children in monologues and planting deadly bombs all over israel. the problem was our thought was the only one palestinians looked up to he had the final say in only goshi ations but israel refused to talk to him. on the interview i'm against a palestinian state run by the p.l.o. shelby's out of the question and no negotiations with the reality of vision but their goals will be most. 9 months before rabin had been elected to lead israel on a platform of peace and security. but as the months went by he delivered neither. with terror attacks on the rise in the peace process deadlocked the right wing

opposition threatened to overrun him before he even completed his 1st year. in a desperate attempt to renew the peace talks deputy minister yossi beilin decided to act outside the law and set up a secret back channel to negotiate with the p.l.o. . he approached his felt in me because we were the perfect fall guys 2 professors who had dedicated their careers to the israeli arab conflict but had no ties to the israeli government. we were in a very strange situation legally the law forbids us to come into contact with the palestinians i don't loose foliage if you don't go back on the global instance what are you going for them and tell was very painful i mean mormons. busses all over the world there were barracks there that quite an organization of general.

the oslo process which i like to call the accidental channel was neither preplanned nor preprogrammed my own partial involvement began in december 92 when i was sent by the p.l.o. to norway to meet secretly with 2 israeli professors. on my long flight from tunisia to oslo i thought back on the day i was forced to flee my home and i would use when the p.l.o. was declared illegal. i left my family and home behind under the oppressive occupation of the israeli army and swore i would return the day we were liberated. in the past 25 years robin had been known to us as the bonebreaker the architect of

the iron fist policy of repression. the idea of meeting our occupiers face to face did not appeal to me at all but the freedom of palestine demanded all of us take high risks. the 3 soldiers killed yesterday in gaza have been laid to rest an explosive device was found in a plastic bag under a bench in ramallah the border to gaza was closed and will remain so for a few more decades. as we approach the secluded villa hidden deep within a norwegian forest a chill ran through my spine negotiating with terrorists was one thing in theory but now i was just hoping that we had made a terrible mistake. our

1st handshake was rather tense i scanned the people in front of me and matched their faces to the memos we had prepared back home. abu allah served as the palestinian minister of finance. beside him said court arafat's confidant. the youngest of the group was asked for a militant communist who was the most aggressive of the 3 the palestinians wanted to know who we were and who we represented but all we could say was that we were 2 professors who were here in defiance of the law. the morning started bad morning started. said only been esteeming and so on the stand how difficult it was to live in the nuts who patient in knowing usually understand a difficult words to live for them for us to live in these are your capricious. and it would have wanted to say something more irritating me him ok take me up like

this is a good sentencing you're not allowed to do if you legally think that there's any comparison between israelis and palestinians and the nazis if you ever say this again i'm going to stand up and move out it never came back it never came back again and i think it was a bit it was it was a very unpleasant stop but it was an important stuff. we knew that all past negotiations had been fruitless and in order to temper a being we'd have to come up with a completely new offer to be perfectly honest i said we're standing on the verge of a new war which will harm both sides. we are serious in reaching an understanding with you and are open for a historic compromise. until now we have demanded your immediate withdrawal from the occupied territory but we realize it won't happen overnight. arafat wants to bring up the possibility of withdrawal from the gaza strip as

a 1st step towards peace. has failed and i exchanged glances although we were trying to conceal them. we were stunned. the p.l.o. was considered an extremist group and here was arafat's messenger with a game changing solution. now we are left with the most difficult task of all presenting the draft to the decision makers. so i don't care if they send you his for then on point of course not to meet some p.l.o. people and after some meetings they have this paper and i really want you to look at it and decide what we are going it's ok. then next day i'm asking him if he wanted you read the papers and know. you know they did you read the paper.

and then you read it and then he understood that he had something that explosive in his head. and so it's sort of the but i've goes well from my i said think about the defect the important fact was the discovery of hogwash. a plan of it all about you had many plans thank you. for taking the bait of self-will of friends i don't think that there are any region in the world as home and that plan is it's already too late as i was in the middle of it. as the wave of terror engulfed the streets the protests outside the homes of rabin it had as have become routine the 2 leaders were stuck between a rock and

a hard place they were losing their war against terror and the peace process showed no sign of revival. perhaps the oslo channel was their only way out. with a heavy heart they authorized us to continue the talks as long as we exercised every precaution to keep the loose from leaking if it became known we were deliberating with the p.l.o. it would be their last day in office. now that the leaders were involved we were no longer in the driver's seat bettas announced that they also channel would now be led by your east of here the director general of the foreign ministry and joelle singer our rigid military lawyer. now we are bringing a military lawyer. on. for more than a good was feeling it was the law in the west bank in gaza and i come there to meet was the p.l.o. it always there or so from my perspective it was like

a feel for. as i go into the room and see a warlock the 1st time he comes to me and kisses me on those chicks co-exist is kissing me. on my cot i've been kissed by a horse and probably before i just kissed a military former military i mean. his one another in the united states or in israel. that was the 1st time a man kissed me. before the 1st round of talks i decided to get acquainted with my counterpart. where are you from here to jerusalem i replied. i'm also from jerusalem he said

where is your father from he was born in germany my father is from jerusalem and still lives there he said. we could go all the way back to king david i replied and didn't try to conceal my anger i'm sure we could argue about the past for years and never reach an agreement let's try and see if we could agree on the future. all right he said and we reached our 1st mutual understanding we would not go about the past ever again. saying or started the meeting by announcing that we had a real concrete proposal for the signed agreement. all traces of our optimistic document were racist and replaced by rabin's agenda that would security and defense before cooperation and coexistence rabin had refused to deliberate on the core

issues of the conflict demanding to discuss them at a later stage his offer did not include any mention of up rooting settlements dividing jerusalem the return of the palestinian refugees or definitive borders. as the reading commenced the palestinians astonishment grew. after a few minutes abu alaa turned to us 4 and muttered quietly in arabic it's a massacre. the last round of talks left me more confused than ever despite sinkers humiliating offer it was clear we were not when the big leagues it was no longer an initiative of 2 peace loving professors but rather of her being and parents themselves. all the while the news painted an entirely different picture. being tightened his

fist every day demonstrators were being killed throughout palestine some of them innocent kids who should we believe the reality on t.v. or yuri's promises. the whole the show host dean israelis were not in the past. we made the following decisions 1st to impose a closure on the west bank and additional disclosure on gaza also starting tomorrow there will be no palestinians talking idle characters on israeli laptops. and i was just out load of the shot. for the 11th round in oslo we arrived with the proposition of our own perhaps singer and the israeli delegation thought we would surrender for their terms but that would not be the case our revised proposition stated the end goal would be un

resolution $242.00 demanding israel's withdrawal from the occupied territories. the palestinian proposition enraged me and i responded with hard right opposition we would not acknowledge resolution 242 because it meant retreating to the 1967 borders and we refused to discuss borders at that stage we started believing the p.l.o. were our partners in this but when we put our cards down the p.l.o. always backed away from any clear decision maybe people are right to say the palestinians never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. there was a lot of tension and people were walking out of the room slamming the doors but it was all. you know we know. that they have

desperate to reach an agreement. i just said let them. let kids we need to let all play out and then we'll just say no. the israelis dismissed our proposition refusing to discuss the definitive borders at this stage i said to yuri you refuse to recognize our national right and insist on retaining all the settlements we prefer to wait another 10 years for a reasonable offer yuri fired back in that case you can keep waiting until the messiah comes. closer to yuri we've made every possible effort to reach a peace agreement with you but unfortunately i now find myself unable to go on i

have decided to resign from the talks. the room fell silent a dark expression spread across abu alaa face and he seemed powerless as he rose to his feet and left the room this time it was really over. the jury asked me how i was feeling i didn't hide my emotions. both sides were stubborn and did not grasp the importance of the moment. i just could not continue this negotiation i told them if you can't cure the onus we must find its cons let's put aside the maps and the agreements and begin by recognizing each other as partners the p.l.o. will denounce all terror attacks against israel and we will stop viewing you as

terrorists and allow arafa to return to his homeland. i promised yuri i would present his mutual recognition proposal to arafat in tunis perhaps this round of talks wasn't a complete failure after all i descended to a blowing up of this and you left this area many years ago do you think be a dream about your coming back to your home that's my dream all the period so far that you go yet and what's to come if that as a citizen and it's too much for me. we were negotiating in all slow dean complete secrecy no one knew about working outside of this really small coop and then when we were in.

suddenly it leaked the story leaked out. i think wonderful deal may not have a secret talks between the p.l.o. and israel awoke snowbound oss love from a sunday now they grabbed a lot of headlines with little actual information at press that lining up their location and content were you know. the israeli embassy is absolutely desolate the security guards for that they knew nothing of the talks not to mention where they were held but it was our last stop in our search for the secret talks here at the king's palace is ours we can tell they aren't here either. here with me in tel aviv is deputy foreign minister yossi beilin is the recognition of the p.l.o. by israel official. i know nothing of any such recognition there is no such recognition. the worst thing that could happen was the premature exposure of the

channel reporters kept calling me and i consistently denied everything without giving any unnecessary explanations but i knew we couldn't keep up the charade much longer it was only a matter of time until the who hardly used the talks to make rebellion and paris to my traitors who were conspiring with the murderous terrified. i was. go to the people tell the truth tell them this is our intention to hand the heart of israel over to our vatican and establish a palestinian state go to the people before you implement your plan we're trying to beat the clock by reaching an agreement before a prematurely could would stop the oil slick agreement. the mutual recognition option excited the leadership in tunis and i was sent back to oslo with arafat support. it seemed as if the israelis returned with

a deep desire to move forward as well. but eventually. sitting there in that guesthouse which the press made out to be a sort of dream cast off a little but that's how the press is simple to shoot a very difficult month several terrorist attacks and you're sitting there talking in a businesslike manner and gentlemanly making jokes but you're out of touch so if someone . has it on a new turk and i hope we are out of touch we don't want to ignore the present or forget the past we're trying to set them aside for the moment and figure out together not how to make the past better but how to make the future better keep it over as if so we created a bubble we aren't out of touch not from what happened to the jews or the arabs not from what's happening now but what we're applying maximum force to try to get this process moving because if. we manage to progress simply middle

of differences to 5 open issues and we went back and force and force and elie in the morning fall by the morning we reached. full agreement on those 5 issues. at 5 am the norwegians printer delivered the final draft of the declaration of principles for peace between israel and the p.l.o. it stated that as a 1st step israel would withdraw from gaza in jericho and grant the palestinians authority for self governance. in the 2nd stage which would take place within a year the palestinian authority would expand to most of the west bank. and within 5 years a permanent peace treaty would be signed addressing the core issues of settlements

palestinian refugees definitive borders and jerusalem. union. of all it was strange there were 15 of us home of after hundreds of hours of negotiation crammed inside a small room signing our initials and the world knew nothing about the disconnect between the intimacy of a handful of people in that small room is an agreement which is such a breakthrough made in such secrecy it would be looked as though there wasn't a sense of euphoria or joyful emotions in high but

a sort of heaviness the strangeness was a little. i cried this week. the 1st time 5 o'clock after we finished but. it comes to a tip each other. that during we said now we have to stop that he is just a bit put development for construction for. that

but he says a start to the day we voted and it must be won by both of us thank you very much. and that is. me again with the we'll get with you and we follow through those of colleagues and hope that you are the natives always do you live. by the simple and what they make it and are. in the wrong they denied we also or with great love about how to instill in them that we've got a list of them.

yes. good evening israel and the p.l.o. are not far from a historic embrace and i remember there was a t.v. set was stations norwegian sweep feed me and everyone was talking in a. foreign language whose. p.l.o. going to be low. enough. it was all over the world and best was suddenly realized wow. we. talking. 29 years after declaring israel any illegal state the palestine liberation organization has decided to recognize israel's right to exist peacefully after decades of calling the p.l.o. a terrorist organization israel finally recognizes the p.l.o. as the legitimate representatives of the palestinian people given the history of

the palestinians and the israelis which isn't also much of the rest of the world. you know were staggering. the last minute negotiations went on for a day and a half. when the hiker norwegian mediator arrived in jonas he said he had the historic documents a recognition in his back. of his doing he said modestly but belong to israeli prime minister rabin and p.l.o. chairman arafat in the one page letter from arafat to rabin the p.l.o. recognize the right of the state of israel to exist in peace and security in his return matter to arafat rabin says that in view of those commitments the government of israel has decided to recognize the p.l.o. as the representative of the palestinian people. i want. i never. see the government. hard.

in the middle east today israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin will fly to washington for the signing ceremony of the also the agreement between israel and the palestinians yasser arafat will arrive from tunis for the signing which will be his 1st visit to america since the p.l.o. were denied entrance to the u.s. right wing opponents are calling the signing of the treaty trees a while arab opposition is calling a traitor to the palestinian cause and threats of being made on his life. while in my last meeting with clinton just before of the celebrations started he took me aside and said he wanted to concessions i said mr clinton would give enough concessions and then of this outburst said concession one could you prevail on mr arafat to come dressed in a french suit and abandon its military garb i said this was part of the way

his people view him so i said i'm sorry i can't give you that concession was the 2nd one so he said no hugging no kissing. and i said this is a very tough concession but for peace i do it. anyway . they brought the morning shows to the white house to talk to the bottom up a science long work charlie and paula and brian and katie sure signs that

history was about to be many people. ok so that. well you think that says that they have to sing it. they said it is the message that's out there that it is what's going on today here. and what is going to understand the situation but it's still the stage is amazing. ladies and gentlemen mr arafat chairman of effective council of palestine liberation organization is excellent see revealed prime minister of israel the president of the united states i started didn't want to come to washington to say. don't want to say off but i'm going to convince him to stand up with was and as you saw the picture of the 2 of the well was by force. finally starts to show the hands far far. from interception now if.

you. take it you went through the hell no i have to go through so. why do you think. because it was against the peer law because it is how it was and now because you saw him out of it they don't always but you know i cannot change the past or family about it find it it's hard said it your mate is with your enemies not with their friends. to everybody jean is a season and a time to. have been dying to be bold and had time to die and die in and dying to again die or wait dying to laugh dying to logs and it dying

to take a dive full of war and dying of peace ladies and gentleman the dying for peace has come. to. be thank you. thank. you. thank. you for brown you i feel proud but then fate work off the failure. therefore. because we are still

in the beginning the stuff that was sold to mr i should be and should be but at the same time also on my side. you have 3 because both of us should work very very very . and we should trust each other. without the process becoming too when you shook hands with mr abney it looks like it was your idea not his he he he said that if it by but i insisted and i can think it's in my hands. now looking at the longer term i do recognize that mr rabbit has his way jerusalem as he puts it will never be the capital of a palestinian state do you recognize that you accept that he said tourism not unified you're saying yes he said jerusalem. this is for the tension you know you know exactly what he's saying the israelis

will never pull back from jerusalem they never will they do believe they ever will i think if there is a will there is a wish the reason the will of their. own was who knows. some some weeks ago nobody was imagining it that was a time that solution and this agreement not to forget that there really more actually. this is i'll be a radio from jerusalem and hear the news one month after the historic signing in washington israel and the palestinians gather once again for a round of negotiations this time to implement the 1st stage of the oslo accord israel's withdrawal from gaza or jericho. the negotiations will be led by israeli

deputy chief of staff. and on the palestinian side the bill shocked our offense chief advisor. my 1st meeting with general i'm not shocked and it was quite pleasant for the man benny modestly came to me and said of the shots here is my speech and you know i have never given speeches before a mystery military man so why don't you look at that speech i felt that this was really very modest and very positive starting point but between that 1st meeting and the 2nd meeting which came out after the weekend and so on for 5 days later i went through google and other sources to find out about general contract. i found he was part of the raiding party that killed 3 of my dearest friends in beirut.

and i thought about that and i said i'm sorry i cannot get myself to negotiate with you i mean. it's very difficult these were very close friends of mine their brothers there i don't know i don't feel like it's fair to negotiate with so i'm unsure i said but maybe he'll. we are here so that we would never repeat that. on february 19th not because shot in general shock presented us with the 1st draft of the gaza jericho agreement the draft was clearly pro israeli but promised us rewards we hadn't dreamed of just a year before such as passports and international airport in jericho and for the 1st time in history democratic palestinian elections we were on the right path but

territories. israeli soldiers opened fire on the protesters killing 9 palestinians and injuring hundreds more. fulfilling the role of a holy man goldstein quickly established a fan base among the settlers hundreds attended his funeral home and many of them praised him as a hero and a saying to him well you know what i'll offer you a specific show he urged rabin to clear hebrew and settlers it would be a brave move that could restore the palestinians trust in the peace process. but the army generals claim that vacating the settlers from hebrew one could cause a civil war rarely i have seen peres so determined to reach a decision that opposes the military. you know when the shorts say off or say out a jew who is a murderer is a murderer you can use milton james he will not see in june who is a nazi is

a nazi. by a man who claims to be a jew sneak something behind it and shoots worshipers in it back in a place which is sacred to the arabs and to us. after a clear sighted that i'm a pulled one and i compare him to the man or she will compare him to arafat and you know i don't want to compare him to anyone compare him to arafat's own mother shot off as such filth and your madness has got that arafat made mistakes and i say he made mistakes and seems to that when he stood up and said no more war i recognize the state of israel and its right to security in the school taliban would be as lawyer was i don't defend god by that arafat's life is in danger so i didn't the fear that there was why could he have not said at that i did love america that there stargirl he decided to stop the killing vote that i never had to endure you
