check their licenses several police and government workers were caught without valid documents whose tanveer choudhry reporting from dhaka. well the fear is quite normal but very tense because of what happened yesterday. students or the teenage students who were rather attacked by pro-government elements along with the police in an area done monday and. according to media reports at least one hundred fifteen students were injured some of them seriously this is confirmed by some of the hospitals. now a lot of the students were supposed to gather right behind me in shock square which is the area where usually demonstrations are how so far i haven't seen any gathering it is possible that the parents don't want them out because they're highly traumatized by what happened social media has been showing a lot of videos of students really bleeding badly injured and they were telling of

the horror stories local media where rescue that in covering some of the events at least in video a lot of the private t.v. didn't couldn't show some of the events the government has put a restoration on three d. and coverage so there is no mobilization by the students we'll have to see within next few hours if they're able to gather although they have given an ultimatum to the government through the next three days they don't meet their demands they'll come back in the streets again if ok let's get you up to date with a developing story that the israeli cabinet is just about to meet to discuss the controversial nation state law there have been growing protests now the latest came from the druze community which led a huge rally against the new legislation on saturday night many are angry that the new law defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the arabic language the troops are considered loyal to the state correspondent andrew symonds joins us live from west jerusalem and rick good morning the reaction likely to be from the israeli cabinet meeting to

these ongoing protests. well difficult to say really there is no doubt that these protests were much larger than had been expected it filled robin square and if you see the view from on high get an idea of just the scale of that and people in this demonstration were not all dreams it has to be said druse did come out in a rare or almost unprecedented demonstration however there were many israeli jews amongst the crowds young israeli jewish groups groups political groups and just people passing by and it's that factor which is going to be discussed i would think in this cabinet meeting as to the possible. extension of protest when we have a situation where there is no solution it seems to the demands of minority groups

another druze don't have they have compulsory military service whereas palestinians citizens of israel have the option of not serving in the military there are two separate groupings we can expect another demonstration within a week by the palestinian arabs and so you will see this palestinians actually getting into a situation where they also take on the government so it's building picture and also tell us more about how they're going to discussing a long term solution for the conflicts in gaza in and around gaza. there is an important session in the afternoon the security cabinet will convene this will be discussing the contact from nikolai madden of the u.n. special envoy on this deal this possible deal on the how mess now

what will be on the table hasn't been confirmed but. the door lieberman the security minister defense minister has received all the papers and communications so there will be very important talks by the israelis on this issue whether there will be a long term ceasefire with hamas which will be pretty groundbreaking if it does take place now what the chances are for anything coming out don't seem very likely to day sunday however there is a lot of optimism in some circles about the potential for some sort of deal and we will have to watch and wait but as far as the israel is concerned they're not saying anything about this right now all we do know is that benjamin netanyahu has canceled a foreign trip because of this issue so it's an important aspect to sunday as important as what sort of reaction we expect from benjamin netanyahu about the

problem over the nation states law because there is no doubt that the steam is rising on this issue thank you. there's growing concern about the rift between national and regional governments in ethiopia after at least fifty people were killed in fighting and ethnic violence in the east began when ethiopian troops were sent from the capital addis ababa to the eastern somali state to arrest regional officials there they clashed with local forces further violence followed with a force of groups of ethnic somalis attacking other civilians mounted the joins us live now from neighboring mohammed how significant is this. while quite significant. the people of good hugo was surprised to see government troops federal troops in their midst with their tongues surrounding parliament the

president's residence and other important is the lucian's in the capital is when the local police force loyal to the regional president started attacking the federal troops something that created the riot which. resulted in the bombing of the charge of the looting of the town and the loss of almost fifty people in this city now all these potted according to senior government officials and that is because the federal troops had gone in there after hearing that you know president was going to announce that the region was to see the increment ethiopia more than mounting its own independence something already denied by the president when he came the regional president when he came on t.v. yesterday evening so. this is a huge test for prime minister abi of course up to now what's this relationship

been like between national and regional governments. well the prime minister has initiated a number of reforms at the national level but so far has not had anything happening at that original level and if you appear ease of ethnic had the roles where there are nine ethnic based federal states and the relationship so far has been look warm march of this because the prime minister's tribe or more hard hard line disputes with almost all their neighbors and they're the biggest community in the country the biggest region also so many people are not at this moment looking him. favorably it's partially in the regions and the leaders that are there and it will be interesting to see how he brings his reforms to the regions because it's

such resistance could become the norm he's in the international headlines of the moment because of the way that he's been reaching out to eritrea because officially they have been in a state of conflict for many years now could this backfire and damage him politically. so far the people of ethiopia seem to be on board with the normalization of relationship between a trainer and ethiopia we so the amount of support assayas afford to keep going on the streets of addis ababa people hiding out holding european and in a trail flags punting his name so far they seem to be on board but again at the political elite level there's still some disquiet particularly within the ruling elite who have been the people who fought the size and have refused to. implement the accord mohamed thanks very much. even as wayland

times of droughts rests upon the shoulders of the local dike or flood barrier inspectors. was entering we were kind of a soul in a lot we have the lowest point in the netherlands checking on the dikes which are vulnerable to drought. during a drought the dikes can dry out causing them to become weaker and less capable of holding back the water. although the soil is now so dry that a single shower won't do we all really need two weeks of rainfall to bring the dikes back to strength the dike a hole in the border it may not be instantly obvious but this country success relies on a delicate water balance the rhine river originating in this race is crucial to fill up the lakes and push back to seawater preventing it from tilting up the lens but as the river water level drops bombs have to be activated to help its branches
