Crisis goes from bad to worse germany agrees to take in more than 1500. 00 refugees but athens wants other European Countries to help. And in his 1st Public Comment since his poisoning last month the russian Opposition Leader. Is fiction sitting up with his family he says that hes now breathing on his own. Its good to have you with us u. S. President says today is the dawn of a new middle east trump hosted a ceremony at the white house marking the normalization of relations between 2 goal for arab states and israel the Foreign Ministers of the United Arab Emirates and barring joint President Trump and israeli prime min. Benjamin netanyahu to sign formal agreements to establish diplomatic relations its the 1st time in more than a quarter of a century that an arab state has established ties with israel trump expressed hope that other arab countries will soon follow on that yahoo thank the president for his quote decisive leadership. This is a pivot of history it heralds a new dawn of peace for thousands of years the jewish people have prayed for peace for decades the jewish state has prayed for peace and this is why today we are filled. With such profound gratitude im grateful to you President Trump for your decisive leadership you have unequivocally stood by israel side you have boldly confronted the tyrants of terror on you proposed a realistic vision for peace between israel and the palestinians and you have successfully brokered this storage peace that we are signing today a peace that has wrought support in israel in america in the middle east indeed in the entire world that was the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu speaking there in washington lets take the story now to washington our correspondent abbi the sun is standing by good evening to you abbi said the agreements they have been signed just how historic is all of this mean how much peace are we talking about here. Yeah i mean certainly historic to see these 4 men sitting together and signing those documents israel signed a document with the u. A. E. And signed another with bahrain and the Abraham Accords have been signed by all 4 parties involved including the United States as the broker we dont actually know all the details of whats included in these documents they are keeping it under wraps for the most part even after the signing and though it is symbolic and important we have to remember that the United Arab Emirates and boxing already had relations with israel in the shadows for years and experts say this deal to normalize is essentially about iran that you the u. A. E. Bahrain and israel see iran as a threat in the region and they want to strengthen alliances amongst themselves to fend off that threat that these 3 countries also see a further waning of influence american influence especially if trump is reelected in november so while the economics certainly played a part there are geopolitical factors as well or. Here. Well trying to netanyahu are hoping for this and promising this that there will be a domino effect throughout the arab world trump said earlier today that a handful of other nations are deep into talks already we dont know which countries he was referring to but certainly all eyes right now on saudi Arabia Riyadh have cautiously volcom this deal but stayed mostly silent but observers will point out that bahrain would certainly not have moved ahead with without the green light from the kingdom and we have heard from the saudi king not today but in recent times that he has indicated that there will be no normalization without solving the palestinian question which is long been the arab position but as we see today that stance can change and we have to remember there were palestinian representatives at the signing today at the white house. On the story forwards in washington every thank you or lets take this story israel a correspondent talking to kramer she is standing by good evening to you telling you lets start with the news thats coming in of rockets being fired from gaza israel what more do we know. The sirens went off actually during the signing ceremony right at the time in washington and the police and the military confirmed the 2 rockets were fired from gaza into israel 2 at the Southern City of. And. One of them was intercepted by the iron dome Missile Defense system and one and 2 people who likely into from trucks some suffered from shock. This deal how was it being viewed by the palestinians. Well i think we heard already from palestinian officials at the time when a nominee ization agreements were announced. They said its a betrayal some called it a sellout and i talked to a lot of palestinians here in the past weeks so theres a range of reactions to that some you know where initially very angry but also not surprised because those ties where known but that were mostly behind the scenes. There was also a sense of disappointment and abandonment and also reflected in some polls saying that those countries abandoned the palestinian cause at the same time theres also disappointment at their own leadership in ramallah and in gaza its a divided leadership that it that it come to this that its another problem with the trump ministration that there is no solution in sight at the same time also have to say theres a sense that there might be a shift in the region up until now actually palestinians could actually count at least on a particular stated position by the arab countries that there would be no normalization with israel until israel and military occupation over palestinians and of course is also a concern that other countries might follow and that was even more so after the arab league last week failed to come together on a resolution that was brought in by the palestinians certainly is beginning to look like a paradigm shift in the middle east and not to the advantage of the palestinians. In jerusalem tanya thank you. Greece has called on the European Union for help dealing with the migrant crisis unfolding on its eastern. That after a fire destroyed europes largest refugee camp on the island of lesbos last week the countrys Prime Minister made the call during a visit by European UnionCouncil President charles joe also appealed to nations to step up their response to the crisis on tuesday. Germany said that it would take in more than 1500 migrants from the greek guy. As he walked away from a temporary migrant camp on the greek island of lesbos European UnionCouncil PresidentBashar Michel made it clear he was not walking away from the problem. Difficult very complex situation but on behalf of the European Union i would want to say that i refuse to. Challenge this is a common european challenge by the end of the mons the Ukraine Commission intense new concrete proposal from the 3rd world those proposals are expected to include tougher border policing policies and renewed efforts to resettle migrants across the European Union are in the day both michelle and the greek Prime Minister jointly appealed for more solidarity from the e. U. Athens wants other Member States to help run the new refugee camps being built on the greeces eastern islands. Meanwhile the greek army has set up temporary accommodation for thousands of migrants displaced by the fires at the more a camp. Across the bay from these temporary camps many greek residents say they feel sorry for the migrants and i too would like to see more solidarity from the e. U. Then again no this is not a proper solution there are 27 European Union states if they all took 400 people it wouldnt even show up because they have big countries if each country took in 400 people the problem would be solved. But with the e. U. So far struggling to find a unified approach to the migrant crisis that its border is a lasting solution could still be a long road ahead.
