A new resettlement policy. Locked up for daring to protest against the better russian president we need the women now determined to carry on their fight. To. Fight and. I know i know that. And im we are starting with all of the days sports news this formula one World Champion Lewis Hamilton says he will not stop campaigning for Racial Justice that story and more at leader this news hour. Now its been described as a betrayal by the palestinians but has been trumpeted by the white house in the next hour the United Arab Emirates and bahrain will sign a deal to normalize ties with israel and so will being overseen by president i will trump in washington d. C. Where protests have already been held in gaza and across the occupied west bank against the deal throughout the day palestinians have described the move as a stab in the back. In the occupied west bank well get reaction from that in just a few minutes but 1st lets go to hide your castor trees in washington d. C. For us can you talk us through just what to expect in an hour in this is suddenly being viewed by the Trump White House as a real win in an election in. It is certainly is being played that way anastasio with the white house having a quick succession of ceremonial events this morning we know the foreign minister of bahrain has already arrived soon he will sign this and this deal with President Trump a few minutes later we expect the foreign minister of the u. A. E. To do the same followed by the Prime Minister of israel Benjamin Netanyahu coming here to seal off this accord named the abraham accord in President Trump and his surrogates including his son in law gerry cushion or have certainly been touting this as part of what they have claimed to be the deal of the century that is still to kind of course that would be peace in the middle east between israel and the palestinians again this coming at a time just a few months before the election here in the United States is comes as no surprise as we know that President Trump has been promising this socalled peace. For years and this is something that he in his campaigning would like to take out whether or not American Voters are paying attention though is the bigger question. Heidi i can see its getting pretty rowdy there as seen protests are also planned what is the vibe there presumably not everyone is happy about this deal. Right and very right now that outside of the white house here and as you can see there are quite a few dozen protesters here palestinian americans including mr ecija lot who joins us now mr what i understand that you traveled 12 hours by car with your family to be here to protest this at that why was that it so important to you. Or company. When you wrote something. Its. A little put just. Grow old thats about 12 hours to come here. Whats going on between a lot of president bushs we dispense water and when you speak to him when we vote for him to give us a just when. We dont want to have a piece visas for everybody but because he has to have a justice where is the justice that then elizabethan settlement. Im a palestinian i go in and i get 44 before achievement has the right in the state he existed. In 48 i live in the cities for about 23 months. Waiting to go back to my home. And then now and after what its a lifetime a struggle for you her fellow palestinians what is it what they like to be as some have to be an afterthought not to be taken into account while theyre here an arab state in israel by the palestinians not so much given it by you know when they come here to make a piece of the mine. This is. To have a peace between israel and the palestinians love to have a peace but they need to be the rights with others not the 2nd. Human doesnt exist seem like. Just good. Without the existence or do you want to see the humanity has to be a for it with a palestinian is a human a human being like anybody else. We we lived for 5000 years to give that. Why you would never have a war about dying why you know looking at land that could give us all down to making up a septum at the wall over if you will go at the west bank now you can see except a settlement and the house says no but they did live in it one of those houses not knowing that you arent we. To leave for sam this early point. While. Looking for justice here palestinian americans protesting the signing of the steel between firing the u. A. E. That way and israel that was brokered by the u. S. And i have to tell you just ask on the other side here there are also pro israeli protesters who spoke with me i asked them what they found of the steel what they found of the resistance from dallas. And one of them answer me that the palestinians in his words should simply stop resisting. Castro there was only just for us from washington d. C. Should be staying cross those protests thank you very much heidi well lets now speak to me to abraham she joins us live from the occupied west bank need i see there have been also calls there fred day of rage and protesters are already out in force whats the reason i phone the streets. Many palestinians here who say that the word they want to use to do these the big sign in the hour winds most of the and i mean rail. Release in the opinion polls. Over the last week and it was published today theres a great palestinian arab reveals many policies feel that they were about that they these feel that the failure of the palestinian diplomacy the vast majority of those polled say look we will. Have left the full either show has been abandoned by its arab allies as you can see behind me were told the gathering dont talk of well look you know show their rejection. Or the too many bells in you know weve been speaking to they say that they feel that well that the load at the time being at the very worst at the very bout time because that was a strike to push for the u. S. B. Blah that was rejected by the polls lenience least it does a deal that doesnt leave any hope there as the ration scored future its things that they think that the who deals being side of the wire white house ari in the last minute of their drug deal owed out what the operational level of the guy is made of many it. Was called the palestinian rather than the what would im about and they both agreed that they are and i doubt steve feels however we should point out that many palestinians hold their recent well weve just gotten the bulk of the say that the majority of that group do not believe that 3 conciliation not for its between work that we have mounds and but there are going to achieve you did see a. Need abraham there for us in ramallah in the occupied west bank thank you so much neda. Lets not speak to fraud is adding hes a professor at the faculty of rod studies at the university of tehran and he joins us now on skype from there for i know iran also isnt very happy about this deal weve seen some very he said rhetoric from them over the last few weeks is there a sense there that this is for the u. A. E. Bahrain and israel this is about uniting against a common enemy entero. But i dont think so i think this is more of. A political ploy to help a friend trump is behind in the polls and. Trump Foreign Policy apparatus has dictated to us and back again to out. President s to win reelection and these countries really dont have that much say when it comes to those from washington and theyre trying to help President Trump and trying to help Bibi Netanyahu who is difficulty with proposition that he has engaged in. It is a sad day for the arab world for the muslim world the palestinian cause has been the years. Of a lot of people in that as a Stance Movement against occupation and stabbing that cause in the back end but straining the palestinian cause is not something that will be for a boxing is it well let me ask you about that do you think this might have an effect on arab unity that does seem to have brought home the palestinian factions much closer together. It is going to united theres a sense front against imperialism against occupation and against the racism that is going on in the occupied territories its going to make things much more clear in. Some of these arab leaders. Pretended to support the palestinian cause and. Practice hypocrisy and now days things are clear and generally have been moved to a wall of more clear things i think youre moving forward and. The idea of these countries being part of the arab world at this their leaders is gone the its gone its gone out. For that the stare like has economic and diplomatic ties but also critical intelligence sharing how might that change the dynamics in the region do you think you know the intelligence sharing has been going on for many years in fact the u. A. E. And battering have had an illegal relationship. For many years that basically are now saying they thought manage but their relationship has been going on and they have engaged in intelligence sharing for many many years what they have done to qatar for example was orchestrated by israelis and the and this is not think this is nothing new what iran has said is that they need to realize if they use u. A. E. Or back rein as a base to attack iran that iran is a sponsor parts of us. The university of tehran great when youre inside town or out of there thank you for being with us. Thank you. Well there is plenty more ahead here on this news hour including neighbors helping neighbors as communities along the u. S. Gulf coast prepare for their hurricane already this season. Or the ranger like a mule load him as the latest book donald trump hits the stores we look at why no other u. S. President drives book sales just like him. And the dallas stars just punch their ticket to a stanley cup final well have much more for you in school. Now greeces Prime Minister has told the rest of europe its time for a change in its refugee policy as his country struggles with the aftermath of a fire in the continents biggest camp its a talk its asking for practical support where hundreds of refugees have begun moving into a new tent city on the island of as boss but the number of homeless numbers 12000 many have protested refusing to relocate to the new site they say they would rather want to go to the mainland well some locals also want the refugees off lesbo saying it just cant cope with the numbers several countries are now offering to take in hundreds of unaccompanied minors and off to an earlier meeting with the greek Prime Minister European Council President Shall michel visited that new camp while we can all speak truck correspondent Stephanie Deca shes in lesbos for us as staff will get to shall michelles visit in just a minute but i do want to ask you about this movement to this new seemingly makeshift camp just how temporary is it because there is this real debate going on now about the future of refugees on this boss. There is a debate certainly the people here the people of the island want the refugees to stay the migrant stay the migrants and refugees dont want to stay they want their papers process and they want to move on thats why a lot of them are very reluctant lets say to enter this new camp because they feel that its going to be as as horrendous lets say as a camp was that theyre going to ensure that the door is going to be locked and that theyre going to be there as well for an intelligible amount of time but the greek authorities have made it clear that this is the only place for them to go if they want to have their safety you know secured Health Issues medicine food you know to be provided for because as you seen over the last week its been a week since that fire there just sleeping on the street sleeping out all the groves you can probably see you know youve got some family still just walking along the road we see them go up and down so yes weve seen more movement here today than we have before i think that is a direct effect of a letter that was circulated by the authorities to the refugees yesterday saying that the only way that your paperwork can be reprocessed to get those this fire is if you are registered in this camp and you can see this a lot of heavy machinery weve just been inside the greek army still expanding it because theyre looking at around 12000 people that you can be rehabbed and step forward to the president of the European Council have to say about all of this off to his visit there saying things on the ground. Yes i think he toured to the old burned down camp and then he toured this new one i mean he did say that the euro and the e. U. Was in solidarity with greece that more had to be done i mean i also a question i said well you know the only reason were talking about this again now is that because the camp burned to the ground what kind of assurances are you going to give these people who think that theyre completely forgotten that something is going to happen to see them move forward to have their hopes you know their paperwork process in a foster way you know it was very sort of yes language that he used that he was concerned and there was a pool but we havent had any real answers they are going to be debating things coming up in the European Commission but lets take a listen to a little bit of what to what he had to say what the e. U. Is going to do. On the European Union i would want to see that i refuse to paper over this migration challenge this is a common european challenge by the end of the ones youve been commissioning thanks to puts new concrete proposals on the table and we need to be more true to me we need to be more committed to be more efficient and train reason we need to make more progress you know that to improve build a strong tool we need to have partnerships with 30 countries. So as the sun is setting here on the island youre seeing still just a few people making their way here willingly to the camp to be registered and to get put into these tons of the challenge now is how to get all of the migrants of the refugees around 12000 of them to come here the greek minister of migration was speaking to Greek Television today and saying that it was up to the state to get everyone to move into this premises so people were going to do that willingly at some point theyre going to get the Police Involved and to do that forcefully so were have to watch and wait and see what happens in the next couple of days but certainly it is a situation where you still have thousands of people on the street most of them not wanting to move here at the moment and we will continue watching that situation very closely indeed Stephanie Deca there for us on as well thanks so much to. Daniel how didnt is the director of lighthouse reports an Investigative Journalism unit focused on immigration he says the new strategy on refugees just doesnt work and needs a complete overhaul. Theres always been a clash between europe and its vision of itself and the human and human and fundamental rights and the reality of the thing counted by Asylum Seekers who have been prevented often by states who are who are preventing them from channeling and using almost barbaric means. And its also its meant that you use frontline states are essentially containment and warehousing areas a buffer zone if you will so thats likely to continue those those mechanisms will be flooded with even more money. And yet the whole thing will founder again on on what is exactly meant by solidarity and there will be some gestures made but actually any kind of mechanism that will that would that would mean that the number of people currently warehouse increase would be substantially reduced. And nobody really foresees that coming morea burnt down this week but morial is the centerpiece of it the terrence strategy from the European Union which fundamentally hasnt changed the political calculus in brussels and burley and elsewhere that led to a spectacularly squalid camping europes largest refugee camp that fundamental logic hasnt changed theres money available and there will be some nice words spoken. But at the end of that process greece will still be a buffer zone between. Refugees and migrants some of them industrial trouble and flowing conflict and the rest of europe. And moving on now and were more than 20 prodemocracy activists have appeared in a Hong Kong Court on charges over a vigil marking the 1992nd. Reports from hong kong where there are growing concerns over the freedom of speech. Oh it was a familiar scene for many of those who arrived at court to hear the charges against them hong kongs most prominent prodemocracy activists have faced multiple charges over the past year over the many protests and events that been a part of the time theyre accused of joining organizing and illegal gathering on june 4th to mark the 1989 massacre in Tiananmen Square the maximum penalty is 5 years in prison. This year the vigil was banned by the government citing the corona Virus Outbreak but thousands of people went to Victoria Park where its been held for the past 3 decades to join them prompted event hong kong is the only place in china where the 1990 and square crackdown on democracy activists is commemorated so openly and in such large scale. One of the citys best known activists each again is known for helping the dissidents from the time he also organized the 1st ever candlelight vigil in a year after the crackdown in beijing he remained defiant as he went into court we insist that point them in the prem and every year will become the light if no prat. Well says that we have the culture right to express also a very fair monastic entry commemorate those who sacrifice the case has generated much interest its seen as yet another step in stripping away the citys freedoms and its putting pressure on activists like joshua long whos twice been jailed for leading antigovernment protests much of the days proceedings focused on the 2 people who did not attend the hearing and both of them are part of the a
