the how many cubes mckennan, thanks for being with 3 european countries have said they will recognize palestinian statehood. israel reacted and really onto the prime ministers of spain . norway and island separately announced the decision in many western countries have resisted recognizing an independent palestinian state for years. but israel's will again come us off to the october. the 7th terror attack has put renewed focus on the issue that will get more on the announcement from one correspondence in jerusalem and brussels in just a moment. but 1st here's some of what the norwegian prime minister said about the decision. the in part of the government has decided that norway will recognize the state of palestine policy. you know, what it is, almost norway is. recognition will come into force on may 28. so what do you mean by that? norway will therefore regard palestine as an independent state with all the rights

and duties that this entail somebody in the body of a palestinian state is obliged in line with international law. and they have to live in peace within secure, internationally recognized borders and to comply with all relevant un resolution as they are a specialty w correspondence. rebecca rich as in jerusalem and dropped power in brussels and i started by off skiing jack, what this recognition means a, well, it is a political statement and it's also a very symbolic one. obviously the spanish prime minister, padre son, says when he and i was maybe and i just meant imagery. the idea today he said that the recognition says to tell the palestinians, we are with you, simon harris, the leader in island. he said that the recognition of the product, it's a recognition of the palestinian people to the right to self determination. it is a really significant move for the 3 countries. it is symbolic,

then not necessarily the biggest diplomatic powers of europe, but they have been making a, they've been saying that they going to do this for some time. all of them it will come into force. this recognition on may the 28th that what other countries belgium was perhaps going to be expected to do this alongside them. we do know that there are moves here in belgium to make a similar in iceland. and indeed potentially in france as well knives. well, although it is symbolic, it is also significant because our countries have said that they will only be involved in this sort of policing of the reconstruction of a post will gaza, is western nations recognize a state empower so at this time? so the more countries that do that, the more support that would be from those are of nations to fund professionally a postwar palestinian state. okay. and looking at reactions from israel, rebecca, israel has now recalled it's on the box. it is to the 3 countries. what else is

israel doing and saying, as well, this announcement has drawn fury from israel, probably on surprisingly, to most view is a israel completely opposes the decision that has been announced this joint decision by spain island, a new way, benjamin netanyahu, as long said, that establishing a palestinian state would be an x, a central danger to israel, the and, and being standing against it. certainly since the war and that began on october 7, as you mentioned, the ambassadors to those 3 countries as they were cold. and now looking at further measures, the finance minister a bit slow smoke which has cooled full for the punitive measures and said that he will be with holding tax of israel collects and then gets to the palestinians. the caps collects full the palestinian authority, human hands over, he'll be withholding those taxes and they'll be looking at so the punitive measures . now, in response to this, the foreign minister this morning said that it sends a message to palestinians and to the world that terrorism pays. he also said that

it will hom efforts to retrieve the remaining hostages inside kansas. a very strong reaction from israel on the palestinian side. we've seen a much more positive response. obviously, the palestinian authority, who has always been fighting for a 2 state solution have reacted positively and how mouse has also come out to say that they think this is a step in the right direction. okay, and all of this is happening just a couple of days off to the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court. so of course announced that he's thinking of arrest warrants. so these really prime minister and full, the is ready defense minister. so is all of this prussia, rebecca, having any effect on benjamin netanyahu as well. i know there's no doubt the pressure is mounting on the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and the as righty, government on israel, on the international stage, is that some, no doubt about that this week, particularly the pressure has been bouncing and we all seeing that it's having an

effect on the government on representatives here on prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself we can see that in the way that everyone is responding both to the i. c seniors on monday and today is decision pretty much across the board. so, you know, i'm bi partisan responses to these announcements, particularly of course the i c c. that was, you know, everyone on both sides of government were saying that that was an outrage. so pressure, definitely mounting. but when we look at how much that might have fixed benjamin netanyahu, who's, you know, decision of the way that he's planning this will going forward. i think we weren't see much change. we weren't see it or fact he is really fighting for his political survival. and that really means also continuing this war and gone. so that is something that he's been saying, but his government adamant that they're going to do that they're going to continue with this rafa offensive, that they are determined to dismantle her mouse and retrieve the hostages. and that

nothing will stop them. so he doesn't want to face the day often because that is when he said that, but i will investigate and look at the the, the wrong doings and but let out until october 7th. and because that will be very difficult situation for him. all right, jeff, i just wanted to ask you what about other european countries? i mean, will any more now potentially recognize palestinian statehood? it is likely that they probably will potentially belgium potentially fraud is what's really interesting about this. while it shows the ever deepening risk between israel on some of its traditional western allies. it also also shows the divisions among some e u. member states have your opinions position is, has always and long has been to work with 2 state solution. many of the use countries feel that the, the recognition of a palestinian state is the end of the negotiations. of that. that goal of making a 2 state solution. what we're seeing now is some countries a mean island,

a no way on spain, obviously saying that for them, this is the starting point. 9 countries like germany, for instance, wouldn't allow that to to go so. so now we're seeing some of those divisions really start to play out in your it get power in brussels and rebecca versus injury slim. thanks to by so much iran supreme lead on to loudly human a has been leading prez at the funeral service of iran. presidents abraham racy, tens of thousands of people have gathered entire on for the funeral procession. racy, along with the foreign minister and other officials died in a helicopter crash in northern iran on sunday. 63 year old racy was widely expected to succeed humanae. as the supreme leader from us, we asked sarah buzzer found the from the german institute of global in our studies if there's a shed sense of grief right now in iran. well, um present, right?

you see was the only presence in iran since the islamic revolution. montague, the lowest rate of participation when he was elect, it's am all the as nomics republic, president types, higher rates of course the nation when they were elected. so that tells you a lot about how popular they pick up in the political around me. around was of course, his economic performance and his economic policies, but disastrous. none of his campaigns were delivered. and during his time, one of the largest crack down on a peaceful protests and they were on, took place in 2022. so despite the fact that we do not have access to all the society to any realm, because when it rained in government allows west and media to go and prepare reports. they watch them, they take them to certain places,

the only allowed them to speak to sites and kind of people. everything is pre stage and premeditated. so we don't really get a ride picture about what's happening in iraq. but despite all of that, i think these numbers and these, this facts about an events that happens during and he's, excuse me, presidency really tell us, tells us a lot about what's the overall sense. yvonne is um, there have been campaigns online, and that's show there a sense of relieve a sense of happiness, iranians and i asked for, i've been expressing copying of him. it's not because of the bid this of one pass. and of course, nobody will be celebrating at this, but it's the fact that he was associated with lots of i am crackdowns with width, you know, execution of the positions of the eighty's when he was the public, prosecute at any wrong. and the fact that he was very close to the supreme need,

i really that didn't help his case, so i don't think there is a widespread sense of grief to be, to be shot. let's take a quick look now some of the of the headlines making use around the world. and at least one person has been killed off for a powerful tornado, hit a small town in the us spaces. iowa vehicles have been smashed and buildings destroyed in several locations. tornado warnings have been issued for a number of states in the midwest. russia says it has begun tactical nuclear weapons drills. the exercises are taking place in russia, southern military districts, which includes ukrainian regions claimed by moscow. as the 1st time russia has publicly announced drills and folding, tactical nuclear weapons, the kremlin says it's in response to what it calls for us by some west and officials. germany as far right political policy, the alternative for germany or a f d is it's no says it's bonding. it's leading candidate for
