he was appointed and still president salo went ahead and that ignited him the new prime minister doesn't that perhaps because he was the only candidate that the president thought the parties could agree on now he's unlikely to reverse that decision where we have to wait how parliament will react the next 30 days parliament will have to meet and vote on the cabinet that allows put together which will then essentially decide whether or not the prime minister has the confidence of the political establishment but in the meantime what receiving on the streets of . the protesting what we're seeing on the one who didn't you came out today opposing the law we have on the other hand we have the followers of he has set aside one so now we're supporting and protecting the flotus one and they have come out in support of allowing what it seems to be happening now is that mcauliffe out of force cruiserweights behind them try to basically limit any opposition in the

streets to allow weaker we have to see how that will play out but we're seeing a lot of opposition to allowing among the protesters among the students and they are determined to keep going until their demands are met and these demands are a complete overhaul of the political system and an independent candidate who does the mud represent the political establishment that isn't so far. well police here in london have shot dead a man after 3 people were injured in an attack on a busy high street police say the incident in the southern suburb of stressed him was terrorism related scene has been cordoned off and an investigation is underway now correspondent catherine stansell joins us live now from stratham so any more information about what's taken place that this evening and of course the condition of the victims. so well right now police have declared the instant over but behind me forensic teams are now working

. those miles may act as a physical barrier to stop splashes and sprays large droplets and also from touching your face we tend to touch up faces about 200 times a day and the mask will stop you can 10 minute in yourself with your hand and i think the surgical mask probably will help if you're in an area where if you're on an evacuation flight out of the curing group if you're in in a city or town where there is a lot of the debates around. it may be helpful there have been a number of studies looking at markets in community cities including one that we've been announced already we've found that if there was a sick person in the household if you want to mask all the time when he was around that person and it protected you from the sick person with one time in the market

the search go get some very low quality products that are called monster the other thing is that markets which are used commonly in asia they do not work we did a study of mart's. and with surgical mask it's better that. you increase your risk of infection whale the stories are following an israeli ban on receiving agricultural produce from the palestinian territories has come into effect israel's defense minister says it's in response to a palestinian boycott of israeli caltrain as last year the palestinian authority called on traders to buy cards from overseas instead israel has also stopped the delivery of cement into gaza and put 500 business permits on hold further there they offer the setbacks for those who of course live in the strip and suffering from die conditions are often 13 years of blockade 70 deca has more from gaza city

families everyone has taken out loans and can't repay them i've only had one client since this morning. our own 2000000 people are stuck here in the gaza strip a tiny shut off piece of land where no one can leave without israel or egypt permission and most people have never left at all the united nations issued a report 8 years ago predicting that gaza would become quote unlivable by 2020 while it is 2020 and still no political solution in sight and judge shower tells me that this plan offered no new ideas and nothing that the palestinians could take as a starting point to work with this will lead more and more. anger for more. the actions from the different political groups and in the same time from the individuals. there's been a slight increase in cross border tensions in the last few days

a cycle of escalation and shaky truces that everyone here has had to become used to . oh. it's what so many others have told us too people are fed up with their leaders but no one it was not a blame the officials who are sitting on their chairs and don't care about us even hamas doesn't care about us they're enjoying the good lives in their homes while our children can't get free. gaza needs a long term political solution one that allows freedom of movement and the building of infrastructure needed to sustain 2000000 people one that creates jobs and opportunities people tell us they just want to be able to breathe but what this so-called deal of the century does manage to do is highlight just how very far off that political solution is stephanie decker 0 gaza meanwhile hundreds of protesters in lebanon have demonstrated against donald trump's plan for the middle east protest as wave palestinian flags near the u.s.

secret ballots driven by t.v. ads numbers but the iowa caucuses are run by the democratic and republican parties for republicans by secret ballot for democrats publicly. and iowans demand hand to hand contact iowa his turn underdogs like jimmy carter and barack obama up into winners. and bernie sanders headquarters they're looking to redeem a stinging loss in 2016 and the self-proclaimed socialist revolutionary and establishment candidate joe biden are trading front runner status. the caucuses don't work like voting in most states with primaries on secret ballots republicans will caucus to mostly for president donald trump democrats will argue for their candidate they'll bicker then vote this year iowa has new rules some caucuses are so small voters putting name in a hat if any of those candidates get less than 15 percent of the vote those votes

are tossed out and those voters pick their 2nd choice but this year there's a twist in order to be more transparent i would democrats are disclosing not just the delegate total but also the wrong vote totals so conceivably more than one candidate could claim victory that means the effort to be more transparent could lead to more confusion. the caucuses are often criticized as. not particularly representative in a largely white agricultural state nor democratic with low turnout dominated by political activists i do feel that it's unfair to a lot of people who are able to take away from take time off work to participate in and caucus but because it 1st iowa sways the nation give people with fewer resources the opportunity to present themselves and eventually get the resources that they need to run in the bigger places from these frozen fields
