To an extent are listed in territories. Palestinian factions united to condemn the deal describing it as a trail. And not the news mexico and argentina work to ensure latin america doesnt have to wait once a vaccine is developed. Could have it with the belorussian government has begun releasing people who were arrested during antigovernment protests earlier in the week now the government has also issued a rare public apology in what appears to be an attempt to quell days of unrest nearly 7000 people were rounded up during demonstrations that often turned violent they accuse president Alexander Lukashenko of rigging the weekend election which he won in a landslide well heres what some had to say about the conditions in detention. Generally. They detained everyone everyone girls guys children who are 151413 years old there was a grandpa who was around 70 with us everyone got detained even if you just came out of a shop to see whats going on you got detained the cell is designed for 5 people initially there were 25. 00 of us there after that they started adding and taking away groups around 5 people like a factory line the whole night you could hear people being beaten outside me as i was pushed into a police truck and they told me either you go with us for 15 days or we beat your legs and let you go the fact that im here now its clear what i chose. Our correspondent joins us now on the phone from the capital minsk this is an unprecedented turnaround considering this is such a closed nation. I wouldnt call it a turnaround you have to look at the timing of the release today theres going to be important the European Union meeting as talking about sanctions the European Union also yesterday has released a statement asking bellows to release prisoners and thats exactly what the government now has been doing of course the protest increased yesterday after so many people have been detained and now with the people coming out of these Detention Centers and telling everyone what they have experienced that showing their injuries are very serious injuries because of what they say has been torture inside these Detention Centers i dont see that as a release of the anger here in belarus because theres anger pass mostly been appointed at this outrageous treatment that they say by the authorities of people very often just randomly being on the street being detained anywhere where they were walking on the street waiting for the bucks 4 so i think this is an attempt by the government to calm down the situation and also police the European Union but we have to see if get its going to be enough do you do you think the strength the feeling of the anger the determination of the public seems to have taken the presidency and the public and the government by surprise knowing that as you say the world is watching is a different world from preserving union when we would have seen these pictures we wouldnt have known about what was going on on social media. Exactly look at shank i have from the beginning of a Position Movement that has been growing in the last couple of months completely under actually made it what exactly has been going on and hes been using his ultra tactics for repression to try to stop this movement and also uses a moment amount of violence in the last couple of days and still doesnt stop people from going to the streets so this is a completely new situation in bella ruse the people are beyond fear despite everything they see around them despite the fact that their their sons and daughters are in Detention Centers being a being beaten they still go through the streets and that their moms actually new elections and the month the president to step down so that those demands of course are Still Standing before the update great thanks for joining us from in. The palestinian basket or to the United Arab Emirates has been recalled after the amorality government struck a deal with israel to normalize relations the agreement was announced by President Trump who helped broker it as part of the deal israel will suspend but not scrap plans to an explicit indian territory alan fisher has more from washington d. C. It was perhaps unusual that the president of the United States would announce a treaty between 2 other countries but thats what happened in the oval office it is a truly historic moment the president said he brokered talks over the past year that brought what we know in as the abraham a court to be signed by the United Arab Emirates and israel at the white house in the coming weeks this deal is a significant step towards building a more peaceful secure and prosperous middle east i decided the u. S. Ambassador to israel and his son in law a Senior Advisor gerry cush know his middle east peace plan was released in january and he played a key role in this new a court i would like to say to the people of the region muslims Jews Christians and this does give hope that the problems of the past do not condemn you to future with conflict there is a lot of hope and a lot of potential and this will benefit you and this will also benefit people here in america as part of the accord israel will suspend but not cancel plans to annex part of the occupied west bank speaking to aljazeera. He said if there was a peace deal it should have been with the palestinians this. Is nothing but a stab in the back of the palestinian. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu who had earlier cheered the Coronavirus Task force meeting of his government but left abruptly telling those present youll soon find out why but while speaking in jerusalem he will be aware he may leak Political Support domestically for. Shelving and existing plants. Little shalom from the President Trump put the an exaggeration into his peace plan those who criticize me should know i said time and again that an exaggeration only be made in accordance with the United States without that it is worthless and it will damage the settlements so there have been discussions of various levels between the u. A. E. And israel for years it seems now each was preparing the ground for this announcement from the official twitter account of the u. A. E. Leader mohammed bin zayed a simple statement during a call with President Trump and Prime Minister netanyahu an agreement was reached to stop further is really an exception of palestinian territories the u. A. E. And israel also agree to cooperation and setting your roadmap towards establishing a bilateral relationship the idea is that both leaders war visit the white house in coming weeks to sign the deal with Donald Trump Center stage he obviously believes that this will help in the run up to the president ial election in november but rarely are american elections this sided by events abroad particularly during a Public Health and financial crisis alan fischer aljazeera at the white house or shortly well hear from that ibrahim in the occupied west bank who says its not just the palestinian leadership who feel betrayed 1st tory forces with a view from west jerusalem. For israel it is certainly a big moment it is the big story i think thats partly fueled by the fact that it came as such a big surprise and for mainstream jewish israeli opinion there has been a good level of support for this i think the outliers would largely be on the far right the Secular Communities who are already talking about betrayal because of the suspension of the annexation process netanyahu himself put it in Historical Context talking about 179 with egypt 194 with jordan and now this with the United Arab Emirates one difference is that this isnt really a peace treaty there was never a conflict or any water and officially with the u. A. E. But it is a major change at least in the public nature of this this relationship which has been going on behind the scenes to a large extent for many years. Weve heard from the palestinian president s spokesperson that dana here read the statement on the palestinian t. V. Just now saying that the palestinian leadership has met and considered this decision by the you we have betrayal to jerusalem and the palestinian cause he said that this is a blow to the Arab Peace Initiative and all the resolutions that have resulted from the arab and islamic beliefs summit namely because the Arab Peace Initiative talks about normalizing relations between israel and the arab states with only after israel and its occupation and. This is considered an acknowledgment by the u. A. E. That jerusalem is the capital for israel this is something that many palestinians have denounced especially when the u. S. Has decided to recognize truth to them and has moved its embassy and for many palestinians in the street they would tell you that theyve lost faith a long time ago in the arab regimes of the out of brewers that they are going to be helping them on the contrary they feel that theyve been left out alone by these regimes but they still believe that the our nation is for them its important to note that many here fear that other are of an islamic states my. Im speaking of the White House Briefing president promised the news will eventually seek peace when more countries make deals with israel. I think the palestinians will without saying it theres a sara lee yet i think they very much want to be a part of what were doing and i see ultimately the palestinians peace between israel and the palestinians as they see that happening i think as these very big powerful wealthy countries come in and i think the palestinians who are following all thought hes in afghanistan has started releasing 400 taliban prisoners there paves the way for a long delayed peace talks with the group 80 were freed of the release of these socalled hardcore prisoners was approved last weekend by afghanistans grand assembly or the loya jirgah its seen as the final hurdle to launching those to go she ations or the latest now with coronavirus as the u. K. Reimpose as travel quarantine restrictions on france and the netherlands frances seeing its highest number of cases since restrictions were eased in may in spain the government says there were 675 active are breaks while germany has its highest increase of cases in nearly 3 months dominic cain has more than belin. Here in germany theres a great deal of concern about the way that these new infections are manifesting themselves because the mantra for ministers has been that it is people coming back from high risk areas tourists who travel to other parts of europe and unwittingly brought the infection back with them and yet actually paradoxically the majority of new infections taking place in germany take place inside germany elsewhere in those countries france the new infection rate is twice as large as it is in germany and certainly you see in cities the capital city for example in paris where the requirement for mask wearing is back in place but also separately the organizers of the paris marathon the marathon event which would normally attract many tens of thousands of entrants well they werent planning to have to stage the event until november and already theyve said that cannot take place and then of course in spain you see several regions there where the flare up of corona continues apace and from the german perspective looking at spring we know that the German Government has said that there are 3 regions where it is highly advising its citizens its residents tourists from germany not to go there where there will be the need for some form of quarantine when they come back or indeed a negative test. Still ahead here on aljazeera e. U. Foreign ministers will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the dispute between greece and turkey well look at whats at stake.

One of those analyze is france who sent in 2 fighter jets and this naval warship to sail alongside greek forces but turkey is plowing ahead with plans to issue Gas Exploration and drilling licenses in the disputed region within weeks this shows the exclusive Economic Zone to greece turkey and cyprus as defined by the United Nations it accords greece 71 percent of the aegean sea and turkey 8. 8 percent but this is how turkey redraws the same map claiming much of greeces waters as its own and this is the area where turkey has started looking for oil within itself to find waters but that infringes on greeces Maritime Territory according to the e.
