Armed gangs block major roads in lagos after speech by nigerias president fails to calm the ngo over Police Brutality. A winner has been declared and bolivias president ial election louies ass a walk song with 55 percent of the votes. Sudan and israel have agreed to normalize relations in a deal brokered by the us and make saddam the 3rd arab nation to set aside its differences with israel in the past 2 months though the countrys foreign minister says it still needs to be approved by the Transitional Legislative Council which is yet to be formed. U. S. President donald trump sealed the agreement in a call with israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and the sudanese Prime Minister abdullah one dog he also told congress hes removing saddam from a list of state sponsors of terrorism palestinians describes to dons decision as a new stab in the back but trump says he expects more countries will want to make a deal allan fishes out the white house and has more on the announcement. It seems that this process has been ongoing for a number of years according to mike pompey it started when he came into the administration he of course was the 1st cia director before becoming secretary of state what is clear the Sudan Government decided it would pay 335000000. 00 in compensation to the United States particularly to take care of the victims of the east African Embassy bombings back in 1908 the attack on the u. S. S. Cole in yemen in 2000 and also the murder of a u. S. Diplomat in the sudan itself that money went into the account at that point donald trump said he was going to remove sudan from the list of nations regarded and designated as state sponsors of terrorism that me to plea opens up a number of opportunities because suddenly sanctions get dropped but theres a couple of problems with that 1st of all still has to go to congress they have 45 days consultation and if there is a joint resolution that objects to that it wont go through and then donald trump can put it in place but by lifting sanctions that means that israel was able to forge some sort of deal with them another thing is that hes trying to do little deals here in there rather than like his previous essers one big peace deal and he believes that doing those small deals changes the reality on the ground and therefore it would help create peace avoid expensive foreign wars and also expand make america safer but it also makes his reelection slightly more assuredness far as hes concerned because hell be seen as a peacemaker harry 4 sets is in west jerusalem and has more on the israeli perspective. Benjamin netanyahu has himself been talking about since the 1st agreement was signed or he was an announced with the United Arab Emirates back in august saying that essentially it was peace for peace as opposed to peace for land or any kind of concession given to the palestinians and thats something that the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas also emphasized in a statement saying that nobody should speak on behalf of the palestinians that the only way to a comprehensive and just peace was through the end of the occupation and through an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital as for the messaging coming from netanyahu after this latest announcement hes talking about the symbolism of this saying that. Referring to the pan arab agreement in a commitment in 1067 in khartoum to the 3 knows no to peace with israel no to negotiation of this with israel there was a recognition of israel that they had been replaced by the 3 yeses to those things and hes also trying to do a sales job to his own domestic constituency saying that these agreements will make practical beneficial changes to their lives that the kind of trading relationships that can open up will make the cost of living which is very high here in israel less but it is also worth noting that the text of the agreement so far released doesnt refer to the same kinds of things that were referred to in the initial you a Year Agreement text i this is talking about trading relationships starting with agriculture as opposed to full diplomatic relationships at this stage no talk of embassies for example in either country after nearly a decade of bloodshed libyas warring sides have agreed to a permanent and immediate cease fire the u.

At the beginning of the year a major summit on libya was held in berlin to get everyone on the same page but many of the attendees continued to support the warring parties with both weapons and fighters. The top u. N. Official garceran salome felt so undermined he resigned at the beginning of march 7 months on his deputies Stephanie Williams who negotiated the cease fire is still acting in the role because the Security Council is deadlocked the latest candidate for the job of u.

For the 1st time since records began 40 years ago a key source of siberian sea ice has yet to stop freezing the sea is known as the birth place of ice this is the latest its ever gone without starting to freeze scientists believe its because of a record breaking heat wave in the region and changing waters in the Atlantic Ocean they worry the lack of ice will cause Chain Reactions across the arctic jason voxs an ice climatologist he says a drop in temperature could lead to all the problems in the region. This sea ice has in the last 40 years lost half of its mass half of its that miss and half of its area and this year after extremely persistent heat wave that affected siberia since since britain time that weve the fires are across northern siberia this part of the arctic is especially warm and so we see the sea ice effectively reacting to this extremely warm situation in it the north coast of siberia and its a great concern because its a very shallow sea and. Underneath that 10 to 40 meter deep water layer is a sea bed that itself contains an enormous store of carbon im concerned that he or me of the sea waters can destabilize the carbon at the sea that so this area of open water its releasing a lot of extra heat into the atmosphere and what that will do is perpetuate this condition of open water thats probably part of the delay of the return of the frozen sea surface.
