bennett, you are a smart guy, a guy that is a deep thinker to me.question to you, they say hindsight is 2020, what is the right way to evaluate the actions and decisions of those who came before us? we know what our own sense of morality and truth is. what is the right way to view the decisions of those who came 200 or 400 years before us? >> well, i think we view them with realism, with understanding. we don't want to be guilty of presentism, that is importing our understanding and at attitudes of people two00 years okay take them as they were, flaws and all. when we think about the founders, that is how we should take them, never the less, whatever flaws or warts or failings, they gave to us the greatest country in the history of the world, you take men, women and totality of their actions and in that, they come across well. the point here is you do about founders who owned slaves, you say that is too bad, they should not have, a lot of the founders understood there was something wrong in owning slaves, men of the great men at that time freed thei

so instead it goes to naftali bennett.the first official israeli prime minister to come to the emirates, he's not the first israeli official. the two countries have opened embassies in their respective countries. tourism and trade has started. in the first seven months of 2021, bilateral trade between the two countries worth more than $600 million. that's about $550 million more than it was before. so there has been a lot of activity between these two countries. but these meetings today are incredibly important and incredibly historic. they've already started to take place. naftali bennett just met with the minister of industry and technology. he's in the middle, i believe, of a meeting with the emirati minister of transportation. in just about an hour will be the big meeting at the palace with the crown prince. it's not just a meeting. they're actually going to have lunch together as well. so a lot of eyes are going to be on those pictures, those videos of the meeting. what is the body language going to be like between th

naftali bennett says that he will discuss ways to further deafen ties during his visit with the crown about the significance and the agenda. >> reporter: well, to lay out how significant this is and how significant of a change this relationship is, i'll give you an example. in 2017, an israeli judo competitor won the gold medal at a match in abu dhabi. but the authority there is refused to fly the israeli flag or play the israeli national anthem, although other countries had their flags flown and national anthems played. today, it would be a much different reception. for the first time ever, an israeli prime minister will set foot into the uae's glittering presidential palace for an official visit. naftali bennett, set to meet the crown prince on monday morgue. >> we're going to be discussing ways to further our cooperation in a number of fields. >> reporter: just over a year after the two countries signed onto the abraham accords. north normalization between the countries once considered enemies. israel's former prime minister benjamin netanyahu was meant to make the visit, but sever

i think what has happened is that the two people who are most at the helm of this government, bennett controversial of all issues that can lead to the dissolution of the government. benny gantz is a defence minister, the defence ministry operator is who deals with the palestinian issue. i meti with mahmoud abbas�*s people this summer, they said we like benny gantz, he is an honest man, and basically benny gantz is the point person. he reflects functionally the position of the defence minister but also the politics that bennett and the foreign minister do not want to touch this issue at this time and i think the palestinians respect that. professor david makovsky there. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: more bad luck for broadway with some shows forced to shut as 0micron cases surge just as they need a big festive season. the most ambitious financial and political change ever attempted has got under way with the introduction of the euro. tomorrow in holland they are going to use money we picked up in belgium today and then we will be in france and again it will be the same money

and it seems that that pressure may well have had some effect behind the scenes. bennett himself as a right wing pro settlement prime minister at the head, a very broad, ideologically mixed coalition government. so it's a political difficulty for him to just see us pressure and reject it. what has happened instead is that the committee has decided that there are environmental concerns that require a major environmental survey. so that's one way out of this current problem for natalie bennett, and it puts this very controversial plan back on ice for now. in south africa, the president stepped up his fierce criticism of the way that countries have reacted to the new alma chrome very to the virus, the corona virus. so around the pose, i made the remarks during a peace and security forum and cynical saying that government schools have failed to deliver covert 19 vaccines that they promised to africa from dot com. nicholas hoc reports the fight against the new omicron variant in senegal starts here at a health center in downtown the car were doses of the covey. 19 vaccines are available. m

. >>> and natali bennett visits the united arab emirates. we're live for the historic visit. >> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with isa soares. >>> welcome to the show, everyone. it is monday, december 13th. we begin with the aftermath of the deadliest december tornado outbreak in u.s. history. dozens of people were killed when powerful tornadoes swept right across the midwest and south. now at this hour crews are still searching for survivors but officials feel the death toll will only rise. we now know at least 50 tornadoes were reported across eight states over the weekend. you can see on your map. on sunday the national weather service confirmed they were ef-3 strength. that means wind speeds up to 165 miles per hour or 266 kilometers per hour. kentucky was the hardest hit by the disaster. governor beshear said at least 50 people died in the state alone but he fears the final toll could be much higher. and the damage left behind is really quite staggering. entire communities nearly wiped off the map. beshear grew emo

bennett is an excellent leader on our side to do that.nd i really commend her for really understanding all of the different communities. i think that you have a great opportunity. and we look forward to our report in six months that we are making progress to work on the problems you are all facing and to come up with solutions for them or at least attempts to create the answers to your problems. so thank you very much. and i appreciate everybody that has really worked on this and helped to bring the american indian and the native alaskan issues to the fore for our department. >> president bernal: thank you, commissioner chow. we'll go back to public comment because we do see one hand raised on the public line. secretary morewitz. >> clerk: person on the line, for each agenda item, the members of the public will have an opportunity to make comments for up to two minutes. it is designed to have input and feedback from individuals in the community, but it does not allow in back and forth conversations with commissioners. the commissioners do

the secretary of state found to be blink and spoke to the israeli prime minister natalie bennett. with this issue very much front and center that conversation. and it seems that that pressure may well have had some effect behind the scenes. bennett himself as a right wing pro settlement prime minister at the head of a very broad, ideologically mixed coalition government. so it's a political difficulty for him to just see us pressure and reject it. what has happened instead is that the committee has decided that there are environmental concerns that require a major environmental survey. so that's one way out of this current problem for natalie bennett, and it puts this very controversial plan back on ice for now. turkey and cas, i'll say they'll continue providing a lifeline to people in afghanistan. the to foreign ministers met for talks earlier and they said they hoped to sign a number of deals and those on here and to get hold of you have one. so we discussed how we can coordinate our efforts to lend a helping hand to afghans and also how to cooperate about the situation in afgh

but that's what mr. bennett thinks of mr. but that he's a terrors. although it, mr. bass is probably the most moderate by the city leader in the history of palestine the last century. but once again, the americans have been putting a lot of pressure on the east radio to speak to that, but a serious in order to maintain an appearance of some sort of a process. now, bennett refuses to meet with a better sinners. hence his coalition partner. mister ha, ganske that defense minister meets with their, with their policy president. but wanted to discuss security matters because once again, they expect the palestinians to be that got enters homeland security in the occupied at west then. so we are faced with a really so realistic a scene where by the israelis are trying to respond to the american pressure might meet. he would have had a cities but on the, on their own turf, on their own condition, which is we will only discuss security. we're not going to discuss anything that requires diplomacy, politics, or at this distance. will you well to see what the fa

let us bring in catherine bennett. she is chair in a p. m. ology. at the institute for house transformation, a deacon university, and he's joining us from melbourne. thank you very much for being with us, miss bennett. what is your reaction 1st to these findings? how encouraging are they and could this be the, the beginning of the end of a pandemic? well, the way this particular variant is spreading makes is really important. good news. we had been hurtful from the early days. what the numbers come out of south africa, who had the 1st, i guess real experience of this and good days. you're reporting, we're now seeing it repeated in other settings as well. so with the rapid rising cases in places like a straight area we've, we've never had even up to 30000 active cases at a time now where over 50000. and so it's really taken off quickly. so the severity is really critical. we need to understand that what this rapid rising cases case numbers this we haven't seen before in many countries where we've really, really started to keep the virus on in check.

this was immediately welcomed by the prime minister, naftali bennett. to be given for this. he described it has wonderful news and immediately started preparations for that fourth shot to be given to those people. there is still a bit of rubber stamping to do by the health ministry, but it looks like it will go ahead. now, the issue here, as you say, is very much about data. what is the data behind this? we simply don't know, because the expert committee have not published the evidential basis for all of this. and one of the experts involved in the decision was on the radio in israel saying that they simply do not have the information, they don't have the numbers yet for whether or not immunity wanes after the third vaccine, and if it does, how long it takes, and by how much. she described that has quite a complex decision, and said, nevertheless, when you look at the way that omicron is spreading, its infectiousness elsewhere in the world, she described that as particularly frightening. i think thatis particularly frightening. i think that is what this

reporter: naftali bennett biddi ng farewell to a new friend, after becoming the first ever is reallyead of state to visit the united arab emirates. he said they were setting an example of how to make peace in the middle east. >> throughout the day we had meaningful, in-depth and straightforward talks about our nations, about the region and our economy and technology and what we can do together. reporter: after years of tension , rapprochement between israel and several states began under the u.s. abraham accords. commercial flights between the countries have been operating since then, and earlier this year they opened respective indices. this historic visit is another step closer. the leaders discussed further economic cooperation as bennett looks to secure a free-trade agreement next year. the issue of iran was also likely discussed. it was not mentioned publicly by either of the leaders, but israel's ambassador confirmed it was on the agenda. the two sides share concerns about tehran's nuclear capabilities. israel suggested last month setting up joint deficiencies -- defenses with

bennett said before he took off they will especially strengthen economic and security relations.eration and invest, economic, trade, agriculture, energy, technology, health. one thing you didn't hear in any of those statements the word iran. but without a doubt iran was likely on the agenda and that's because iran is a shared concern for these two countries, like whether you know of the subjects that really brought them together that helped bring them to the table to sign those historic normalization agreements the abraham accords at the white house in 2020. now for israel, they see iran, especially a nuclear iran, as existential threat and they have been increasing the rhetoric recently saying that israel will be ready to strike militarily to keep iran from getting a nuclear weapon if those diplomatic talks in vienna around a possible return to a nuclear deal fail. they have starting to warm the relations back up again with iran. in fact, an official was in teheran just last week for the first time in five years meeting with the iranian president. so israeli media is reporting t

as you heard bennett say in that sound bites, he made a specific reference to that. so it definitely opened a window. the fact that the binding ministration has made clear that so far the u. s. policy remains unchanged without making a big song and dance about endorsing the trunk position. that certainly has made it clear that it's not walking it back. and on top of all of that, you have the fact that there is a very different situation inside syria in the last 10 years. given this, the effects of the civil war within israel, it is not seen as something that is conceivable that any syrian government let alone a syria which is currently in such an uncertain state, should have this high ground overlooking israel. and so the civil war, the u. s, endorsement of his rating sovereignty gives bennett a window to make this kind of policy announcement so far without huge levels of international condemnation. and as i say, apart from the very far left with an israel apart from palestinian israeli politicians with an israel. it is a fairly mainstream position for a right wing p

that, at least, is what prime minister naftali bennett seems to want. last week he welcomed the decision by a panel of the experts to recommend the additional booster for over 60s, health workers and people with suppressed immune systems. some experts remain unconvinced. >> i didn't think it's right, right now at this moment. it may change in a week. you know, it depends on what we see is happening in england, what's happening right now here. if we see that there's more severe disease, maybe it will be correct. i think that's why it's so important to start research as soon as possible. >> reporter: initial results from the study are expected by the end of the week, by which time israel's rising covid caseload will like i be even heavier. on monday, the daily covid caseload surged to almost 3,000. that's its highest level since early october. and if prime minister's naftali bennett's predictions prove correct, that number will inevitably go higher in the coming days and weeks. paula. >> chilling to hear him say that. while israel has had vaccines, a numb
