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 Minister Benjamin 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 Union Council 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 Union Council President Bashar 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. Lets take a look now at some of the other stories that are making head.

I join me here now in the big table to talk about how fans are coming back to the bundesliga is our Sports Reporter matt smell makes its good to see you so a long awaited return what do we know about these proposed plan well as you mentioned 20 percent of the capacity some stadia that are smaller will also be allowed a higher number than the proportion the 1000 fans is the minimum that theyre allowed to bring in 20 percent is that cap for the biggest stadium there was still be no away supporters no. No. Standing season which is a problem for some stadiums that have a little bit more of that proportionately and no alcohol germans do like a beer with the football but this applies across all Sports Events now we saw a few friendly games cup games on a track and field event this weekend in berlin letting spectators in socially distance with personalised tickets and mosques thats going to be the same sort of procedure here and if a certain area has high cases then those clubs will not be allowed to make use of that 20 percent capacity but finally after much federal arguing the 16 states have come together one solution is good take a lot of organization and i know that last season the bundesliga was the 1st major league to restart after the pandemic i mean what was it like without having any fans in the stands yeah i mean even to the casual football fan it was a little bit eerie and a little bit we it we can have a look at some of the footage from last seasons games for instance here the one of the biggest games in the season. And that so you celebrate that goal in corona times its not the same emotional atmospheric experience here we see the dog and found sort of sarcastically celebrating in front of an empty stand this so it was there was some Creative Solutions some great cost is especially abroad germany not so much but some brokaws just chose to play in fake crowd noises that kind of made you forget for just a moment that you werent living in the pandemic independent hes hard to forget that isnt the next meal is always max thank you.

Takes us to one of the many shanty towns now popping up across the country. Khayelitsha the largest township in cape town more than 1000000 people live here including. A month ago she could no longer afford the rent and simply butoh not on a vacant lot next door. After the. Hundreds of others to pursue and christened the new neighborhood covered 19. Because everything just happens because of this coverage there were lost jobs there with nothing for us the money anything then thats why we have to take that covenant in name only car shows us the makeshift heart where she lives with her boyfriend and 3 children. This place is too small of one bed so where the children are going to sleep you see my house is also. I dont have anything to solve at the moment. But. The family pays no rentier but the land doesnt belong to them. The people are setting up their shacks all over the place here a lot of construction happening and many here are saying they dont have a choice because they cant afford to pay rent any longer but the city on the other hand says these illegal and invasions are causing huge problems city officials tell us there have been more than 30 new locations with massive land occupations in just the last 6 weeks law and order are in danger cape town lost 300. 00 hectares of land in the last year what ever the land was meant for is lost whether it is all spittle screw clinic if a piece of land is standing open its because there is an intended Community Use for that lent there is in the case of these big invasions where i will tell you that Community Leadership just stood up this is not a fighter and invaders against the state or land invaders against the city of quetta this is a fight of land invaders against a city of quetta and local residents since june the city says it has torn down some 60000 hearts in some cases resulting in violence this man was pulled out of his hat make it a court has now ruled that the city needs a court order for eviction and must offer alternative accommodation to squatters. Structures at the city cant afford that 400000 people are already on the waiting lists for social housing that housing waiting list doesnt get shorter and the reason it doesnt get shorter is because these constantly people pushing in the front if you were standing in a queue in a bank or a cinema with theatre or something and you never got to the front because people were constantly pushing in the front you would become very angry and enraged. Plenty of feeling annie and her family have also been hoping for an apartment from the state for a long time so far in vain. The government will provide our needs because we need Something Like toilets or what. We have to get the we have to get them from the government its our right if we have to. Place we have to.

People who are building they are. Convinced that she will continue to live fear in the future a court order for eviction takes up to one and a half years the police are not intervening for the time being and around her the settlement continues to grow. So its not just shelter thats been thrown into question because of the pandemic food is also becoming scarce in parts of africa the central hell region is among the continents hunger hotspots more than half of the populations of mali burkina faso and share suffers from Food Insecurity defined as the lack of regular access to the food they need in mali the trend is even getting worse. And for more on this im joined by David Beasley the executive director of the World Food Program he joins me from berlin dave its good to see you as always when we talk about Food Insecurity this term help us understand what that looks like on the ground for someone in mali or say burkina faso. Well its not good at all i mean did it was already bad before code we had economic deterioration a lot of serious issues with the sri mr bruce terrorist groups trying to exploit the situation and not to mention that guy Climate Change moving down and millions of people being displaced and all of sudden totally comes right on top of that and so globally were seeing from and im not talking about people that are going to bit hungry im talking about people that are on the brink of starvation that number was 135000000 before code now we see that number spiking to 270000000 by the end of this year and you break that down into places like mali and burkina faso nishi or in other regions of africa it really is a bad situation there were facing and and we are facing it literally as we speak it is unfolding as we speak david in what ways is the pen to make itself affecting Food Supplies that doesnt really involve sickness necessarily does it. Well its a combination of factors i mean you know what were seeing to give it a good example in nigeria when they had a 5 week lockdown they had about a 1000 people die from code but we had a 1000000 people go into Food Insecurity because of the lot down and still were she in economic deterioration were seeing a spike in food prices throughout africa lack of access economic theory ation loss of jobs you know if you do a lot down in the say in berlin people get food in their pantry for a week or 2 but a lot of these places they live hand to mouth day to day so if you do a lot then youve got to make certain that we have a Safety Net Program in place if you dont and we dont address this right you will either have masterbation mass destabilization or mass migration in a salon cheaper to go with it and help the people who need help during this extremely difficult time what exactly is needed to improve the situation talk about going in what kind of resources do you need and how close are you to getting it. Well youre not talking about a few 100000000. 00 come of billions of dollars around the world but particularly in africa if we get the right money right now we can come in because were actually the supply chain for covert it is point time you know with the airline interest shutting down so were moving cope with supplies moving in food doing what we we can do to make certain that we dont have an export ban and shut down a distribution points because if you do you might not get seeds in or fertilizer or food or whatever the case may be now what is critical is economic recovery and i know countries like germany which has been an amazing partner with us an economic stimulus package is also helping us direct monies on the ground in the strategic locations because if we dont come in with the Strategic Support you can have the stabilization in migration people dont want to leave their home area but if they dont have food and they dont have any degree of peace they dont do it as take it takes to do to protect their family their children the little girl the little boys enough they had more mothers tell me said my husband didnt want to join isis or outside of but we had set our little girl in 2 weeks just to be easily please help us is so thankfully the people of germany the people around the world are stepping up but we still have a lot more money we need over the next many months and this is not going to play out just in the next couple of months i am really concerned about 2020 but i mean shrink the concern about 2021 because the Economic Impact that code is head is going to play out i think in a devastating way with Economic Opportunity in africa so its not a short ball game were talking about its a long run weve got to be really prepared for all right an urgent appeal there from David Beasley executive director of the World Food Program thank you very much for joining us thank you and now its time for your questions to our science correspondent there williams. Does smoking and the spread of coded 19. Smokers have had it pretty tough during this pandemic and as far as i can tell there is still not absolute watertight evidence of a direct link between smoking regularly and worse outcomes if you catch covered 19 but i wouldnt wait for that proof i mean come on this is a potentially severe respiratory disease and we know that smokers are hit harder when they catch a range of other pathogens that cause similar symptoms but if they have covert 19 does the act of smoking also make them more contagious to others could there could there Secondhand Smoke pose a danger of infection to those around them well we dont really know and its extremely hard to prove one way or the other but theres enough evidence it might that some regions in spain banned smoking in public last month and and other public spaces like some casinos in the u. S. Have done the same the smoke that comes in a cloud out of the smokers knowledge when they when they exhale forcefully is basically a mix of particulates and aerosols thats ex of being from deep within that persons logs and the evidence has grown pretty convincing that aerosols can carry the virus so while theres no conclusive evidence on whether Secondhand Smoke is is more or less infectious that aerosols exhaled by by nonsmokers a lot of experts think it makes sense to err on the side of caution and after all many are now saying that if you can smell what someone had for lunch you can also potentially catch covert 19 from them so it seems to me that the same would hold true for inhaling someone Secondhand Smoke. Derrick williams there and finally to mexico where a tattoo artist in the city of monterey has come up with a novel way to deal with pandemic only to do is giving away free tattoos to those who have beaten the disease edging covert 1000 survivors on their arms he says the survivors have a 2nd chance at life.
