Where the corona Virus Outbreak originated but new clusters are causing concerns in the northeast. Good also this hour a country at breaking point Brazils Health care system pushed the limit well as president downplays the pandemic. Im johnny gosch rosco with sports as football returns to germany but not as we know it dont win scored 4 goals that close fans to celebrate with. Ok we begin in israel where more than a year and a half of failed elections diplomatic dealmaking and political paralysis have come to an end with a new government expected to be sworn in shortly its the result of an agreement between the longtime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his political rival benny gantz each will take. Leadership of the country for about 18 months 3 elections had failed to determine one clear winner between the 2 men at one point less than a percentage point separated the 2 parties guns had sworn never to work with netanyahu that was partly due to him being charged with corruption mr netanyahu were talking about a case which starts in one weeks time mr ganns now says he was forced to break that promise to deal with the coronavirus emergency. We decided to take National Responsibility especially at this time israel needs a National Government that represents broad sections of the country after more than 10 years the era of government by one half of the nation is over we are here to represent those who felt they had no voice in leading this country. Live to west jerusalem and our correspondent harry forsett so harry crucially i guess can they Work Together can they govern instead of getting caught up in a fight with each other. Well the details of the deal that they have made suggest just how much mistrust there is between them as you say gantz had made pretty much his entire albeit short political career he was of course the former army chief about getting rid of netanyahu someone he said was not fit to lead the country he was very recently causing him a poison on israeli democracy and so given the fact that netanyahu is such a survivor and is so expert in pulling all the leavers of the israeli political system its pretty clear that each man wanted to have as much safeguarding written into all of this as possible and so thats meant 2 things it has meant that they are both being sworn in at the same time as with Prime Ministerial status Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alternate Prime Minister benny gantz as you say that will be the case for the 1st 18 months of the terms of the deal they will swap netanyahu will preserve that Prime Ministerial status even while not being the fully functioning Prime Minister that seen as something as important to him as he tries to fight off 3 Corruption Cases the trial due to start on sunday its also meant a real inflation of the size of government 36. 00 ministries it will swell to thats unprecedented it is really history each one really having almost half the government to himself rather than a real sort of integrated traditional style government you might see in other parts of the world of course this is a coalition and these sorts of compromises are familiar to israelis but this precise way of doing it is totally unfamiliar they required a restructuring of voting through of major changes to israels basic laws and so that level of of mistrust is evident in the very writing of the way that this deal has been made and thats something that the Opposition Leader yola pede gantz. His former ally made very clear saying that its these these men loathe each other and they dont trust each other and they say worse things about each other than i could ever say about them here on the floor of the knesset and mr netanyahu to as well harry reaffirming where hes coming from reaffirming his stance when it comes to an extension of certain areas in the occupied west bank and quote territories. Thats right and thats one of the differences between gantz and Netanyahu Gantz doesnt want to see any unilateral an explosion in the occupied west bank he wants to see some kind of International Consensus based on the trump plan that was announced in january under whose terms israel would be entitled as far as americans are concerned to some 30 percent of the occupied west bank the Jordan Valley and all of the illegal israeli settlements. The u. S. Secretary of state might pompei i was here on wednesday for a very short visit just a few hours and the signals coming from the United States since then have suggested that the u. S. Wants to see a bit of a slowdown to netanyahu has ambitions on this under the terms of the Coalition Deal gantz does no longer have a veto on this and any time from july the 1st on words that could bring it to a vote in the Israeli Parliament the knesset he says in the knesset today that he intends fully to go through with it that the time is now for applying israeli law as he put it to the jewish communities in the occupied west bank and that it would mark a glorious chapter in the history of zionism there was some shouting of opposition to that remark specially from the palestinian israeli members of the knesset so let me i was still making it very publicly part of his platform to go ahead with this despite the fact that his coequal or the Prime Minister doesnt want to do it and there are signs that the u. S. Doesnt want to press ahead too quickly either thanks very much. Lets bring in the former israeli Justice Minister your c. B. L. In front joining us from tel aviv your feeling good to talk to you again we have one Prime Minister for 18 months and then its all change we get another Prime Minister for 18 months after that can it work. Apparently not i mean may very well sense right now if there is not present for Something Like these new changes a lot in the democratic world soul and the government is huge and. Its all it seems very very you optimistic to say good something you can will that day. I believe that it was a must for all syrians because i was there and on they did and thats the it is a result of the 3 consecutive in election campaigns and they had to do Something Like that they couldnt that much better that this is now what was known today and yes there is obviously the main thing is who is seeing it is that moment is not a making a huge mistakes that again an expression of the west bank and even if it is very difficult for you either of them to initiate some you like the us it would be not so difficult for them for both of them to prevent the other side strongly doing something which is nearly it totally against their view so they are potentially pardon me for interrupting you mr beilin is there potentially a change in the atmosphere of the choreography coming down the line we were talking to her a force that there he was talking about might pompei or the u. S. Secretary of state having been in the region in israel not so very long ago clearly theres a Good Relationship between mr netanyahu and the trumpet ministration when it comes to benny gantz the trumpet ministration might say world who and how do we work with him. You know that we have to take him into account and they go should understand that if there is a serious if care of the government and the knesset to annex parts of the year on the west bank it is a cross 3 each of our agreements we appear at all from 95. 00 and it will create. A kind of thing else working there in the arab who are. Also dangerous to do and i think states it back to you they should understand that this is not in his or any consensus not the norm i mean most of the israelis are against an extension you need to n. C. That there isnt an exception is far off an agreement with the police yes which means being in the context of finance swaps and this is something very very different from a letter or an extension or 30 per cent per cent of the soul of the of the risks then so i hope im not sure but i hope that the new government we all its forms. Oh we seem to of had a technical issue there we were coming to end of our conversation anyway mr beilin well have to leave it there but thank you so much for talking to us. Live television these things happen afghanistans Political Uncertainty has come to an end with the president. And his rivals signing a power sharing agreement ashraf ghani and his main challenger Abdullah Abdullah have been locked into a stalemate over last years disputed election mr della will now lead the council for peace talks and members of his team will form part of the cabinet lets take a closer look now at that deal well as of february the Election Commission declared ashraf ghani winner of the elections last year but his rival Abdullah Abdullah disputed it saying he had won the vote in the months that followed mr abdullah announced the formation of a parallel government complicating u. S. Efforts to reach a deal with the taliban later in the month of march the us secretary of state might pompei of travel to kabul to mediate as washington announced plans to cut 1000000000. 00 in aid and now with the power sharing deal in place the next this year will be to decide who will hold the top positions in government lets meet her keamy hes the lead ghana stan research Chatham House he joins us from cambridge me how will they do it how will they make it a success moving forward. I think very much this is a National Unity government 2. 0 the National Unity government was the one that was formed at the end of the disputed president ial election of 2014 with the intermediate intermediate intermediation of the of the east state department at the time i think up just looked at the text like anybody else seeing this today it seems very more comprehensive the key issue is that i was faced in the Public Domain now that there was always a debate previously about the last government and that the text you know everyone was saying it is of intent to play sure what it meant but to me it looks like dr abdullah actually has been able to leverage the circumstances against president of the need to pretty much come up with a deal way he can now present his backers some of whom are new about hers who are upset by the last experience of working with president money like gen dostum for example he was the former 1st was president in the last election went into doesnt 14 election with the president so it to me looks like dr abdullah has been able to push for the points that he had always argued for but had always complained that were never implemented because the president of the knee was not supporting and also to me it looks like a 2. 0 situation but it tends complicated right here it is there within that complexity wheres the guarantee that they wont know do what they do 5 and a half 6 years ago which was then spend 5 years bickering with each other and there was a sense of gridlock at the center of government. I think is the circumstances we have now like anywhere in the world the covert 19 of honest on for example a know it has the potential to be unfortunately the epicenter in the region if its not contained for instance secondly President Trump and the trumpet ministration is an entirely different game of the us Foreign Policy compared to the Obama Administration that president johnson very clear it does not want to be the policemen of afghanistan as he said so i think the political elite do not want us on have come to regard zation that they have to Work Together in order to move forward even if that means that theyre going to Work Together in circumstances that dont like to work with each other but it has to be done for their own survival but also for making sure that some kind of move forward happens and also the taliban process of of reconciliation with them which at the moment is stuck after the agreement was signed in july and then to february between the u. S. And the taliban to which the Afghan Government was not a party so that has these are the 3 things and my view that our change compared to the 1014 political elite. Is that potentially the biggest problem here and to ask you the question in a different way perhaps are both men Abdullah Abdullah dr abdullah and afghani are they precisely in the same place when it comes to not throwing open the doors to Political Office completely wide open to the taliban but hinting at the taliban look if you go with the Peace Process if you go with what you signed up to in doha end of february getting of march Political Office will be coming your way at some point way way way down the line. I think just judging by the various kinds of approaches that weve seen from the 2 persons here i think dr abdullah has been seen and has been intrepid to be a person who can potentially do a far easier deal with the taliban and the taliban find easier to speak with them because hes a person who is seen as kind of in a coming to agreements all the time you know hes coming from the majority in background hes got to get this law me as the Political Party and they were the government of the taliban in the 1990 s. Removed before they were moved back by the us support and bringing back the majority in so theres a history there that potentially allows for abdullah to be able to have an easier ride and communicating with the taliban now having said that the truth is also that president rouhani is seen as the person who is a technocrat you know hes coming up with these plans for the future of the country so that internal domestic view is that yes well im dollar is a person the taliban might be able to speak to president one is also a person who has the capacity to be technocratic president so i think for the taliban now its really you know it can they can be really go forward now pushing barrow demands on this high council of National Reconciliation i think its called and which abdullah will lead and im dollars not going to have a he will not have a an executive role here. But sensibly hes becoming a figurehead for the Peace Process which can give the pitfalls by the way because if it does fail tomorrow then president money can turn around and say well it was a dollar that you know he was leading get us not my fault ok well mr hotel me im going to have to interrupt joe there and they move on to our next item to thank you so much for joining us here on the news are good to talk to you.
