since tuesday afternoon local time in cairo so this is a quick settlement. if it is two to the ten year division which is riven palestinian politics and live in these two pots of the palestinian occupied territories gaza. will be looking to see is whether this is a full agreement whether this does solve some of those thornier issues that you're talking about such as most of the. hamas is in the future or whether this is more of a pragmatic contradiction where we see some solutions as to how the palestinian authority government will come back in fully. in gaza the cabinet meeting which took place last week in gaza was the first process. of some kind of started implementing agreements with the more difficult questions to be so in the future will they really come to a full agreement not to just two days we'll have to wait and see what comes out of the press conference in a few hours time thank you very much for that phenomenon joining us on the phone from west jerusalem thank you. let in on to our other big story of the day and there have been protests in kenya

there over the past days and intends it intimidation and not much of the details have come out of cairo and you know waiting to hear what the terms of this agreement are but there's some speculation that there will be especially in this agreement talk about the fight of the border crossing the border crossing between egypt and the gaza strip border crossing who with managed will be given back to the palestinian authorities so to speak what will be the role of hamas in all of that and also the other very big issue is the administration's how with the two administrations one was the gaza ruled administration in the gaza strip and the other one the palestinian authority . of the palestinian authority in ramallah so how will they go about the employer yes in two thousand and seven employees of the palestinians aren't u.s. sent home they're not supposed to work for the house for the most of ministration other people where we hired for the same job so all of this of course is speculation at the moment the big speculation is what will happen to this military reign because we heard the palace i

what is it south west of cairo in the desert that is that is a very very serious incidents that will attract you know. unusual attention to what's going on the scale of the insurgency if it can involve numbers like this is very very striking and you raise an important point sorry about not the fact that they are seeing these attacks seem to be springing up in why this area is don't they they seem to be finding new talk it's well i mean you know the conventional view of egypt would say there is a quite a serious insurgency going on in the sinai peninsula. that is clearly linked to isis to die i was just reading something there were a couple of attacks in the last few days by the way before this which would have attracted less attention because they're more common but on a smaller scale there was one in irish and on the coast of sinai and another in. the way they think so attacks in sinai are common they tend to be relatively small scale this is a different matter it's in the it's in the heartland of egypt proper and the size of it is is is really breathtaking the other issue seems to

ans fans celebrate in cairo as egypt qualify for their first world cup finals in 28 years.ello and welcome to the programme, where we start with the tennis news that rafael nadal has won his sixth title of a remarkable year by beating nick kyrgios at the china open on sunday. the australian was beaten in straight sets by the spaniard as the world number one secured his 75th atp crown. rob heath reports. wired for sound and, initially at least, plugged in on the court, nick kyrgios matched rafael nadal in the early stages of this match. once again, though, discipline let him down. discipline penalty while nadal simply shifted through his gaze. nadal last won this tournament in 2005. at times he appeared as brightly as the 19—year—old who was about to take world tennis by storm. kyrgios simply had no answer. nadal took the second set 6—1, this is his sixth title of the year. very positive win. lucky the first day. i remember always things change pretty quick in sports, especially when you are ina quick in sports, especially when you are in a good dynamic, like i'm doing this

are concerned this is a success and they want the palestinian factions all of them to meet again in cairo on the van the twenty first sorry for that al-jazeera for inside story in ramallah . let's discuss all this now by bringing in our panel of guests in garza we have the senior hamas official arm of the use of joining us from ramallah we have the former director of the palestinian authority government media center ghassan khatib and from london we have years he'd say year senior associate with the carnegie middle east center welcome to you all let's talk first about what we know about the deal armored use if you represent hamas you know what's in this deal let me ask you possibly the most difficult question under this deal who is in control of your weapons who will be in command of your fighters the rest i'm a to some but something like twenty five thousand fighters and commanders tell me that key question. with the good intentions that we have right now between federal and hemis and this kind of fair indorsement by the president we vote we should be told the palestinian would mean that

in cairo, this is where -- he makes several really good speeches. i don't know that one as much off and as i should. but hoover becomes much better shorteradio, making speeches, giving kind of interesting allusions that people can think of. so he is much better than he was as president with that. but that's only one of many. i think that one sort of stands out because they were afraid that the trip was going to be cut short. hoover really wanted to go on to asia, to know what was going on in india. then you see india's independence shortly after, going into china and we see what happens to china in 1949. he was also very attuned to korea and what was going to happen there. this is all 1948, 1949, 1950. and then going into japan and he meets with macarthur, and it was interesting -- macarthur also calls in chief. they had the utmost respect for each other. that part, too, in china and japan, it is the one part where he gets a little wistful about lou. but that is the only part. and i think, too, he took this trip partly out of his grief. lou had died

during the egyptian revolution women also made their presence felt in cairo but in the demonstrations against the ruling power they became the target of systematic attacks and sexual assaults. as the people of the arab world rose up in the name of freedom the rights and status of women became more hotly contested than ever. and yet things for arab women were very different fifty years ago. emancipation and equality seemed within reach as the countries gained independence women enjoyed considerable freedoms. and the political leaders of the time the liberators of the people declared that by people they also meant women. fifty years on women face increasing problems claiming or defending these hard won rights the situation of women has hardly improved or not at all what happened how can arab women shake up the society so blocked by sexist and patriarchal structures this film a constant struggle and chance the history. genesee it is one of the countries where arab famine isn't going back over a century is most deeply rooted. sharif as a dolly is a pioneer of gina's in feminism at the jul

the rival groups amoss and fatah say they have reached an agreement on key points during talks in cairo we'll get the very latest from our correspondents also on the show. germany's biggest airline live tonsil is set to buy large parts of bankrupt carrier air berlin snapping up dozens of its planes and thousands of staff. and spain issues catalonia an ultimatum either explain its position on independence or face direct rule from the dread the spanish government gives the cattle on leadership five days to comply. plus our weeklong series on being gay in today's russia we need a video blogger using his platform to challenge anti-gay businesses and do so with a sense of you. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us palestinian rivals amoss and fatah appear to have read it reached a breakthrough in their reconciliation talks the leader of hamas says the two groups have come to an agreement after negotiations in the egyptian capital cairo now a key point in ending the decade long split between the two sides is agreement over who exactly should control the dollars a strip a mosque sees

the deal was signed in cairo. it was there because egypt has been facilitating the talks.urity, administration and border crossing arrangements. here is a fatah spokesman. translation: i expect after there are meetings at the end of this month in cairo for the factions and palestinian leadership, after that, god willing, within a month at the most mahmood abbas will be in the gaza strip. that would be huge news. since 2007 while fatah has controlled the west bank, gaza has been controlled by hamas. we dug up this area. it is detailing how hamas defeated fatah in elections and then violence and separation followed. let's learn more about the deal signed today. according to the deal signed today, the fatah—backed government will move into gaza and take over administrative responsibilities so hamas is going to hand this government the full control of the gaza strip by the 1st december and we also understand that the fatah—backed government will be managing gaza's border crossings with egypt and israel. but this is just the beginning of maybe a long pi’ocess just the beginning

reconciliation agreement after a decade long splits the deal follows talks in the egyptian capital cairo this week hamas has agreed to hand over control of the gaza strip to a unity government by the first of december the control of gaza has been a major sticking point just over ten years ago hamas won parliamentary elections in gaza and then ousted fatah from the territory but last week the palestinian prime minister and a large delegation of fatah officials made their first visit to the territory for two years. the deal between the rival palestinian factions could bring relief to the blockaded gaza strip the economy and humanitarian conditions have declined sharply since hamas ousted fattah from the territory a decade ago after winning parliamentary elections basic supplies are often lacking and electricity restricted to a few hours a day. if i had a weapon i would be shooting interval and out of happiness because they reached a deal. i don't think as a siege will finish so there will be jobs and people will be able to support their families. it's a similar story in the west bank city
