7:08 pm
the, the, the, the, the, the, the other side of the army says, one of its soldiers has been killed in gaza. the 24 year old reserve has died and fighting in the south at least $225.00 is where the soldiers have been killed since the man, if he lost its ground offensive enough data. well this comes ahead to open his id, cabinet b c. that's bringing mohammed jump, jane. who's in that tell of a so i'll have it. obviously as rails ministry campaign continues with ongoing for
7:09 pm
split. they're all clear, significant underlying divisions within the authority cabinet. what are we anticipating at this lights, amazing of the so need 1st let me mention these divisions that are becoming more and more apparent here. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he is in what many describe it as a politically untenable situation that's in yahoo is facing pressure from both the right wing members of his coalition as well as the opposition now far right. we, members of his coalition, like national security minister, it's more been chavira, ad finance minister bessolo smart rich have on many occasions over the course of the past week, essentially threatened to walk away from the government and collapse the government if they think that the deal that netanyahu is considering entering into that would see a cease fire in gaza if it is not advantageous to israel. but then you also have
7:10 pm
members of the opposition, like many gaps, who is a member of the work cabinet and is also a former defense minister. and over the course of the past couple of days, he has suggested that she would walk away from this limited unity government. but he has become a part of if he thinks that nothing yahoo is jettisoning a deal because of pressure from the right. and that also he would walk away from the government if nothing. yeah. who is planning on implementing military rule of gaza after the war would end. so that's the kind of pressure that you're seeing on nets and yahoo and it's very unclear as to how exactly he is going to navigate this . now, later on tonight, there he is going to be a war cabinet meeting. we expect that that will be to see what, how much has potentially said in response to the deal that they have been presented, or the framework to a deal that they have been presented with. is we are expecting an answer from how
7:11 pm
much as to what they think of what they've been presented with in a few hours. so it's expected that after that there is going to be a meeting of the work cabinet and, and if it's like the other meetings that have happened in the past few weeks, we do expect that it will be contentious and it's very unclear as to what exactly will happen, we're just going to have to wait and see, but it's going to be an interesting night seeing how the prime minister deals with all this as much political pressure as he's coming under it at the moment. maybe in the bottom of it, when it comes to that old important deal, we've had a hidden walk. mazda is red lines. are they say they don't want to anything that doesn't include a permanent si fi, but do we have a sense of what is rose? red lines are going into this, this possible break through a so names the one point that everybody across the political spectrum seems to be in agreement on right now and, and realize that a lot of this is based on, on reports in the israeli media that are that are naming anonymous so i that are
7:12 pm
rather citing anonymous sources. the one point that everybody seems to be in agreement on is that they do not want a ceasefire to equal an end to the war that, that they feel that the war should go on. because there is a broad public support for, for the war, even though there is also a lot of mounting pressure from the public to try and secure the release of those captives. this really is really, capt isn't gaza. now we also know is that when it comes to the far right wing side of the government and the coalition, that they have been adamantly stating that they do not want to see thousands of palestinian prisoners exchanged it for potentially a few 100 or dozens. and the 1st phase of is really capt as being held in gaza. beyond that, also, we've heard mounting criticism from the right of any deal that would see an end to
7:13 pm
the war and the pull out of his really forces from god so. so these are the political realities that nothing. yeah. who is faced with right now. he has also sat in the past few days that he does not want to see a deal that would see the release of thousands of house, indeed, prisoners or as he calls them terrace. it's a very, very complicated picture right now at a time when there was so much focus on the government, especially by relatives of those captives who were demanding that the government do their utmost to ensure their release. they've made many sites the guiding us through all of that and haven't jump june there and kind of a to the front says gauze indies to pass the turn of the palace. single. thirty's, governs as, according to the french foreign minister set file. so shall, who's in egypt easy maintained the countries foreign minister and the president for on said egypt of how talks and achieving a cease fire and gaza and delivering she monetary at a new level it will be on salma as we discussed together, as well as with president,
7:14 pm
l. c. c. the consequences of the will and gaza can be felt in your board as if you were worried about the force displacements of populations into your tier a tree. we perfectly understand these worries and on this point, process position remains constant. here we can do him and rejects all actions leading to the sand like you, we're worried by the strikes and rough, also salt. is there any forces of attack scenario in southern lebanon as a funeral was taking place for 2 fights is from the amount of movement. hundreds of people attending the service in the town to bleed to. but in this way, the missile unexploded near the cemetery. the 2 fighters have been killed and in this rate a strike on friday. all is allowed with as well. but it hasn't announced any attack on israel seems cross poor to find things again 4 months ago. the fight to this place to respond off to us of the u. k. carried out another wave of ass strikes in yemen. the us led coalition says it hits $36.00 targets in for team locations. the
7:15 pm
who sees se sites in 6 provinces ways including the capital, sum up the conversations as the atlantic send, a clear message to the arabian by a group of condemning is attacks on ships. in the red sea, we things ministry spokesperson systems strikes. we're not the to them from supporting palestinians and gaza on friday, the us conducting dozens of ass strikes on a rock and celia targeting groups linked to a wrong mohammed. i'll also have has more from the many capital. so now a kimberly this process of the house. he's also like go, bridget, the general. yeah. has, sorry. yeah. i know today sunday that the american british quality and k $1.48. it was flags over the past. i was following several. you have any government with, according to a summary of statements, there's like, started with the capital fund and the govern rates of sun. uh, uh, also the i have targeted the whole day that as a bait had inside the. so that explains that the data strikes targeted the capital
7:16 pm
. so now and it's govern grids, also 9 or the strikes, talking to her data and live in strikes. dogwood dies, 7 is price targeted by the and also another $7.00. it was nice talking to had gather this into one is is dry on the side of side the so yeah, from the base is. 5 x will not deter them from supporting the palestinian people and guys that stressing that they will not go unpunished. so the thing that they will do is tell the 8th of these areas twice, according to his words. and this for in response to these are the spikes, which i hope you need the audio code describe as an offer more o c political council, as a member of the police. because on the hand of the height, the one that the american british escalation will be met with another escalation from this side. he stressed that they, these in his price will not detect them as well from continuing to support. because until these ready griffith ends and these stages left to the group states and its
7:17 pm
statements that it is the decision to support. but is this again, it's, this is supported by hundreds of thousands of families who come out weekly and daily to call for more operations and able to demand up in england crossings to reach the occupied territories to support the rather get up there. and does, again, is what the describe as is really genocide, i get as people of guys that publish side special security advisor, jake sullivan says that it will be more strikes and metalli ation for the 3 american troops killed in georgia in a week ago. the u. s has already hit what it says, our rainy and by malicious and syria and iraq. it began with the strikes on friday night, but that is not the end of it. we intend to take additional strikes and additional action to continue to send a clear message that the united states will respond when our forces are attacked or
7:18 pm
people are killed. the okay, that's what you that's it certainly go on. our opposition leaders have condemned a decision by president mackey south to postpone the election. cheryl for february the 25th. so maybe announcement on the size of the day. so i think a control vesee over the disqualification of candidates. but critics accused the president of trying to hold onto power. nicholas hawk choice may lie from the senegalese capital dock. uh nicholas creating an awful lot of tension that surrounding this decision. the especially where i am need, which is a, an area just on the outskirts of the car on the main artery where the opposition all 19 candidates, the opposition ended presidential election. this act was cancelled. right. president like yourself had us their supporters together. now we've seen running
7:19 pm
battle between police in riot gear, fire and tear gas. i protest is between bits road on one side and the other. and there's a sense that the government does not what at least security forces does not want any jobs or rings of sorts. but for the members of the opposition, until the decree is published on government papers, then the decree is not in place. the decree, the i'm alluding to is, is a create and now it's by present like yourself that the elections are cancel. they are angry at this decision taking pride presents like yourself some of the opposition figures that i spoke to say. it's a port for him to power either. describe it the hey calling to to tional. cool. just right. now a motorcycle just like just do it saying that we're going to burn everything down for every protest so that we spoke to. they are angry at that decision. the feel
7:20 pm
rob, from their ability express themselves in this election that was cancelled by present like yourself maybe like please explain to us how much you saw is justifying this decision. one of the reasons he's giving for what he's saying that he's safe guarding democracy because in the run up to the vote, we have to remember that 3 candidate leading figures of the opposition are not in the running with men. song go is in prison, his standing at a bus you might find who's running and his place is also in jail. then there's kareem was that was disqualified. a 42 is party supporters because judges of the constitutional courts that hold up the list of candidates, right? and then there is rose, where do you need that has also been disqualified on the same grounds as kareem. why? because of its dual citizenship because of being french and senegalese. and so is
7:21 pm
that one of the candidates for this election has to be, have to be exclusively senegalese. but those are all tech, the color, these as seen by the candidates in the running. they see this as a port for him to cling on to power. why? well, because this year it's very important for send a goal because whoever is at the home of this country will also be at the helm of incredible resources. set a goal with start exporting orland gas mostly to europe. european source trying to move away from rushing gas or looking out square, including center goal to try to keep your friends warm in europe. and that's why you have so much instability, right here in senegal. right? now, according to many critics, the democratic process here is at play. and when you speak to protests or the demonstrating here is don't necessarily because they want their candidates to win or the election to take to take place. they say they're out on the streets to try
7:22 pm
to protect their voice, to try to protect democracy. this country has aly experienced, peaceful handover of power since independence in 1963. so center goal is currently in our own charter territories intern region. we're seeing a number to the neighboring countries in molly new jerry burkina faso. so there is a lot at stake here, not only present a goal, but for the civility of the region at nicholas. i mean, you've touched upon it, given that they have be nice, usually just stabilizing the crews across the region, them and set a goal, of course, has always been seen. is this kind of by seeing of democracy and stability? what is echo? asked the regional block. what are they making about these latest developments? the well, they've come out and given out a statement saying that they condemn the, the circumstances in which the delay of this election took place. let's remember
7:23 pm
that, mike, you saw a noun on national television hours before the beginning of the campaign. that the election was cancelled. interesting, the wording that he used because he never used the word cancellation or delay. he said the abrogation of a decree that he had signed in order to have the elections take place and for every 25th. he says that that degree he signed a degree to abrogate septic, which it's a technicality. but what it means is that effectively, there is no state foot forward for an election to take place. and remember the senegalese people have been waiting to have a safe on that. how their country is run it who will get to run in a, in the race in this presidential election seems there's a real feeling about in many senegalese that this is a really important point of history. and the point in which they need to express themselves to safeguard the democracy of this country. the right. so nicholas with
7:24 pm
those types of elements, the, the senegalese capital dot com, any thoughts? nicholas tucker. so now these 56 people have died in wall 5 and central shooting. 5 fights is struggling to contain the lodge punts of a highly populated pos, if the coastal of a price or region of being affected less than america edits are loosely and human. how system santiago and in for don't in what's known as chillies. garden city, strong winds of up to 60 kilometers an hour and scorching sheets had been feeding the flames, destroying everything in their path, especially homes. the other bill uh, let me just look there is nothing left of my house. nothing is you can see the neighbor across the street could not leave. he burned to death because he did not want to leave his house. i lived alone here. let me go. present company and bought each declared a state of emergency and divided, but i shall region and address the nation to say that so far,
7:25 pm
dozens have died. the one be sooner than other celia given the conditions of this tragedy. the number of faithful victims will surely increase in the coming of this . but the figures we are announcing of those that have been confirmed by the appropriate for the forest fires come in the middle of a heat wave. and this tens of thousands of julian's have been heading to the coastal regional vend, but a. so for summer, holidays, traffic jams on the main highway are handling the mobility of firefighters and ambulances. the government has declared a career few from 9 pm to 10 am in the region. but why don't you get a lot of stuff but to get your coffee will help to free up the rights for emergency vehicles also so that people who must be evacuated can do so as quickly as possible . and so that no one can be left wondering around very stuff has been evacuated. the government is trying to prevent losing thousands of people have been forced to evacuate in just minutes. but some, especially elderly people with limited mobility could not escape in time. the
7:26 pm
government says it will investigate arson is the cause of these deadly fires. like 1st says the president, the priority is to save lives. see and human al jazeera santiago, balancing the boy a as an independent filmmaker who's in the region affected by the file, she explains how she got caught up in the y fi as, as the situation escalated rapids, the i arrived on friday, i came into the highway 68 and we passed through the way into through the fire, into the city when it just started. for me being from outside. it's really strange . that's not nothing known to me. so it was very, very strange to see such a big fire and nearby and passing through it. but the people here seem to be more aware of that. i think we were the last cars passing by. this is the main problem
7:27 pm
because of the weekend and here is vacation time. people come from santiago from everywhere to the coastal area. and to be that in my case, i went to seek family and to fill in here. and so for me was different, but i came on a friday, 7 pm and of course what cars and doing the truck was doing is they, i was helping the find find to, to, to go to the place on time. and it was really stuck. and i left on time into the city. i was safe and people are safe. but afterwards the cut the roads for the fireflies to, to pass the problem on friday was that everything happened so quick that people didn't get the information on time. so the roots were really stuck on the defense to yesterday. for example, to set your date is that there was to announce that cost to you and it means that people have to stay at home. then you are ready to head alerts to the road to a free firefighters and volunteers are really doing the best they have trained for
7:28 pm
that. the problem is why it happens, or why it's got bigger. i think is that on this special day on friday and saturday, and it was very, very when the something which is normal for this area but not at this time of the year and combined with the heat. it didn't help the situation to the bottom of the controller, sudan is created, the world's largest displacement crisis. united nation says nearly a 1000000 people have been for some i heard was by the fighting between the army and the problem into rapid support forces that's over and above the more than 3000000 already displaced before the conflict began in april, summer fled to neighboring countries but most of move to safe areas within see them have been morgan has moved from content off rob mohammed, her daughters and her grandchildren have lived in this classroom for 6 months. the school in hartfield has become a temporary shelter for some of the menus to denise forces from their homes by the

7:30 pm
safety no single said i see to their families for 3 days to get to they hadn't eaten and were in poor health. one woman collapsed during the journey and died. people who are physically and emotionally exhausted. this was no official displacements camps and the shortage of tense. many people sleep out in the open access to food, clean water and health care is also difficult. back and hard to offer us as conditions are far from ideal, but at least her family is safe. for now any way, there is no sign. the conflict is going to end any time soon. meaning most of the news will likely be forced from their homes. he but morgan knowledge of their how to deal with that was, is there a still a head british politicians, one of the you guys, all the force isn't all ready for high intensity war is russians invasion of ukraine prices, security pressures of many european countries and the people of el salvador heading

7:40 pm
inherently more dangerous. well, i mean, this problem entry report from the commons defense committee is just the latest in a string of recent draw. the sofa and assessments from people such as admiral robot or of nato, who said that it is not a given anymore that we live at peace on the new defense secretary in the u. k. grant ships saying that basically we are moving from a post war to a pre. busy well, on the head of the u. k. ami the, the general in charge of the army. a warning about the potential necessity for a citizens army, saying that the professional soldiers supported by reserve. this would not be enough from the citizens, might have to be pressed into action. but as you say, what's driving it well, is it the inherent global instability? we've had rushes invasion of ukraine creating a military implications and security implications for the bulk of nations. the
7:41 pm
baltic nation, sorry on the scandinavian nations were job nathan members, you've got china's ambitions for taiwan and the south china sea, which are creating real serious tensions that with potential implications for american naval involve months. and of course you've got to israel's more in gone. so which is creating significant tensions in middle east countries and has, you know, brought in the involvement of the us and u. k, hitting hooting targets in recent weeks. so the possibility of conflict, snowboarding is very real on the minds of the military strategist and politically as well. we've got the uncertainty on what was on the election in the u. k. but most importantly, globally, and election in the us on the potential for donald trump. to be re elected, along with all the foreign policy and stuff and see the best throw up. so they're all and you've listed in great detail, a whole load of international security concerns, concerns with
7:42 pm
a listening by the day it appears. but i wonder, particularly in the u. k, how much of this is down to receive financial shortfalls for the defense budgets? the pain squeeze somebody is now it's true that the i've been successive reorganizations of the u. k. military and the generals have become increasingly exasperated and consigned by these changes in funding you mentioned to be in, in the introduction how the number of professional soldiers in the on forces is now around 73000. when it was 100000 just over 10 years ago, so 25 percent reduction and the number of soldiers under the amount of money that's being spent is, is also. ready significant and, but it is also uh, coming down, i think really they said that the equipment that's being sent for example to ukraine which is putting a lot of pressure on domestic stop. 4 house and leaving generals to believe the, the homefront, if you like, is big left
7:43 pm
a little bit phone or but i think the message from the generals to politicians is infested thing as a free lunch. if you want to have a solid defensive capability, you need to put your money where your mouth is, right? pull money function that pull brandon in london. okay, let's begin. pull be the who's a military and defense expert. he's also a former territorial british army officer, and he joins is also from london. a very well welcome to you said i seems to be a lot of countries in west and you'll find that the further field sounded me a lot over a possible major conflict. so you case for my current defense like a trees saying that the west is moving from this post will weld to a pre roll. well, how found and do you think these claims are, you know, i think i think it's a very good time. i think the british secretary for defense is absolutely right. we all moving into the same area of, of where we should be more prepared if you look at some of the fall. i was the new nathan member of citizen for example. um,
7:44 pm
now how small tank store on century basis and we do and bought something like a quarter of the population of the countries a rebuilding total and does it cost kicks on plastic now have 2000 main battle tanks compared to britain's $52.00 of the new challenges, stories of all proportion seems to be wrong under the coast. britain isn't a slouch when it comes to some money. it's about the 6th or 7th largest defense budget in the world. so you would expect that we'd get good value for money. but when you see programs like the ajax vehicle, which, which we spend, but at least full 1000000000 pounds pulse, possibly going to be spending 5 notes, a single one has yet been delivered as, as equipped. um, i think that's a real issue. we have all the way through the minister defense. there's a systemic problem of 5 managed by contracts,
7:45 pm
etc. it does seem like an extremely obvious achilles heel, if indeed, western europe, the western powers, are heading towards the global conflict. they have all of these massive financial shortfalls. in how um, all of these are being funded, particularly the u. k. where i understand of going to the financial times a $22000000000.00 hole in funding. i mean, how's you go about plugging a whole that big as well? i guess you have to spend the money, but the problem is in britain there of those in the conservative parts in particular, who would say what defense for when any boats and the election which will come in the next 12 months. and so, so that, so, you know, put the money where either in cash, social cat or in the national health service, all of these things where we could get some folks. i think that's incredibly short sighted myself. because of, if you build up, i'm going to shoot capabilities, you're putting people to work. i'm doing getting taxes and it isn't just spending money. so then i got to spend on it stopped piles and it's got
7:46 pm
a silica out what it needs is also got a sore top. what is the british on me for? i'm not, i think, is a fundamental question that needs the next government, which of a policy is to address head on. how do you go about that and convincing populations in front of the u. k. in germany, that defends is an important topic. it may not when votes you say, but it's an issue that people should be carry about. more than like, think perhaps what? because you get to the judge to the russians. the more people think about defense. if you look at the baltic nation, just a lot, pennsylvania, everybody, there is completely committed. it's a national resilience. countries where uh, what ever happens national dissolved, the organization going to be prepared for it. well, ro, the in britain, bravo lazy about this, the french to a certain extent,
7:47 pm
although i think the now better prepared, spending more money better. gemini, has just authorized trump. tron. so schultz walter tons a year and a half ago for eyes of a $100000000.00. sorry, a 100000000000 euros on price of defendant spending. the problem is that britain has, and the germany doesn't have, for example, is we have a new tyrant that has to be renewed because the submarines that currently excited to say all growing very old very quickly. and that's a program because it has to be inherently safe where money is a real issue. and it, it takes up so much of the budget by with onto the nuclear deterrent is those are the defense issue. but the nationalized issue and should be paid set actually not taking another from the ministry of defendants has budget. so across the board through government coming in has got to look at all of these issues. how much of
7:48 pm
this? but i'm think the devil's advocate here about how much if this is a self fulfilling prophecy, if you pull billions into bolstering your on a, what does the vladimir putin during response? he both does his as well. and of course, we end up in another arms race. i mean, how could this really be justifiable? does it in the, does it possibly stone could conflict? where are you that, i mean, the person has created a defense industrial state in russia. i mean, it is manufacturing equipment. i mean they pulse 2000 on the vehicles and in the last few months, i mean, they brought some thousands of none of their old. it won't hurt, but we do crime. i'm they all boy in all sorts of places quietly. i'm still in syria. wagner is still in north africa and the sub us a hall regions as well that are in a country so recently had, could cause no, i'm saying there's not much what we can do to escalate the, the, the, the russians we need to catch up with where the russians off and with the chinese
7:49 pm
off and the north koreans, i'm the radians all of this is why we should be the problem you have with democracies is that there is a feeling of, of tree cool. it takes a long time to get things done. because you need consensus rusher doesn't need consensus, not of this china. now this is north korea, not only does it wrong, the go ahead and do these things all. i think you'll find that. but the, all the organizations will be operating the defense. we've already seen. it's of the company and so this we know, gemini is sweden single, and all of the investment is in the countries right talk. facebook area and romania, for example, are leading the way in buying new defense equipment and more importantly, training soldiers, right? recruiting. so just keeping them yeah, it is a very clear message. the time is very much of the essence pull. be the ministry of
7:50 pm
defense expert and former british army officer. many thanks for joining us. my question that was icing is on the way in el salvador was election with president and i have because they expected to end another line sign victory because of his popularity and the pose is largely attributed to his crank down on criminal guns. well then 70000 suspects of gang members have been arrested since he declared the state of emergency in march 2022 straight to my report of his life for us and outside of those capital sams, salvatore, i'm sorry. it looks as if many that are going to be pew surprise is, but nevertheless, what is likely to account for what kind of success was the full front of the vote. his mom's going to be with you. they were out of polling center here in san salvador, as you just said, that a lot of people here expect there to be much of a surprise. the expectation is that president neighbor who can, i will win by land slides. with that said, we were talking about what's on voters minds. most folks seem to be hoping that
7:51 pm
a win from book kelly will mean that the country will be able to build on those successes that we've seen over the last 2 years in terms of crime reduction in terms of doing away with, with gangs that have been terrorizing the country for the last 30 years and start to tackle the other serious problems that continue to play. go solve those problems such as extreme poverty which affects some 1000000 people. that's roughly 16 of the population here. serious stuff is it's when it comes to education and health care. but again, the last bill in the mines is whether or not presidential candidate will win. the expectation is that it will be a landslide and going into these poles a money. it looks as if nice, but kelly seems quite comfortable with being described to being seen as an old far terry leader. i mean, he wants described himself as a wells coolest dictator. what's behind his apparent success
7:52 pm
this self describe the world's coolest, dictate or is a testament to how a president kelley has been able to sort of appropriate and slip all the negative things that have said that have been said about him. that's a response to him being described as an autocrat here in el salvador. so he's very much a publicist and someone who's very confident in, in controlling the narrative here in el salvador. but you know what, it's or when we talked about his popularity, his approval ratings here, and no solved or would certainly be something that other world leaders around the world would salivate to have. he's sort of achieved an almost rock star status here to solve the one that has everything to do with the success that we've seen in curbing violence. el salvador went from being one of the most dangerous places in the world, the transforming in the one of the safest countries in latin america. the question that many people have at the end of the day, the end of human rights observers and civil liberties organization is at what cost
7:53 pm
. he's been able to do this to make consolidation of power that's left little to no democratic blue ality in the country. he's given almost limitless control to security forces to allow them to continue with this crack down against gangs of the country. and he has stacked the supreme court with loyal as that of allowed him to seek re election despite a constitutional ban on the south during president seeking more than one consecutive term. but when you asked the average salvador and that doesn't seem to be something that they're very much bothered by deep, why do i have the power of life for us and sense of it? oh, thank you. it may be as president highgate can go on, but has died at the age of $82.00. he's said to have passed away shortly after midnight on sunday at a hospital in the capital. we announced last month he had cancer and had been president of the maybe since 2015. so the social media platform,

7:55 pm
real time. politicians use it to share their campaign messages, paying mazda billions of dollars for advertising, in the hopes of reaching voters. but methods based controversies over the years. data privacy scandals have let them massive fines from regulators. i am proud to now and many say it doesn't do enough to suppress hate speech and misinformation. we want to hear more without delay about what facebook and other companies plan to do to take greater responsibility for what happens on their platform. is dr. burke has repeatedly been brought in to face the tough questions from regulators and politicians. we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility, and that was a big mistake. and it was my mistake. and i'm sorry, but through it all matter has been able to outlast or buy out most of its rivals. instagram and what's up among the many services now under the metro umbrella. collaboration, which is really what this is focused on. as to the future,
7:56 pm
mark sucker breaks as it lies in the method versus olympic gold medalist tongue of virtual space he believes to be the successor to the mobile internet such as this absolution of the business matter hopes will guarantee its continued success for another 20 years since and monahan, i will just be your element. oh my guy is a technology and culture. right. and he says, facebook is managed to remain a leading social network. 20 is office launch. clearly we have adapted our behavior to adapt to the algorithm, to the news feed. all of these things that we've become a customer a day and day out in the same way that facebook has been adjusting to the patterns of the internet and the competitors and swallowing up sites like instagram and also changing their business habits to the way internet culture changes and that goes right up until today as they are trying to adjust to
7:57 pm
a future that they believe will be based in the mentors for the last 20 years. that facebook, it's existed, it is always an or met a is, you may call it, but they have always sort transgressed and then apologize they've, they've always kind of push the push the limit, push the line and then step back just a bit from it. so they've, they've always, they've always been sort of overstepping those lines in terms of price, in terms of privacy, in terms of security and things like the cambridge analytical scandal. um they, they, they've always drawn the iron lawmakers a across the globe. okay. before we go, because middle it has broken the record for the most amount of time spent in space, or like kind of income made history after accumulating maybe 2 and a half years in space, flight safety, now your own russian went into all of it for the 1st time back in 2008 and title khan and then co has loved 879 days and space over several voices previous reco. it's also held by russian cost a kind of that. so for me,
7:58 pm
the bucket for this news um, but i will be back, but most for the day is need to stay with us here and i was just the the markets aren't as busy as normal. the single largest employer in palestine is the public spiritual thorazine or p a. the palestinian authority remains the key economic drive of the palestinians, employing a 143000 people. the p a is currently paying an average between 60 and 75 percent of salaries due to each worker because israel is withholding the tax. this is the trade crossing between palestine and israel. these rarely cybill released the money, but with deductions and no money for the employees and goals of the last president . joe gordon is putting in tremendous amounts of pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to release the funds to the palestinian authority. to us though,
