a number of protests against this coalition government in israel have a bring us up to speed with what's happening in court today and what the court is considering. indeed this is one of those protests and anti coalition protest also kind of a watch along in a park here outside the israeli parliament the knesset were there watching the proceedings on a big screen and interestingly what we've seen so far from the deliberations the initial sort of sketching out of the framework of how the judges are going to consider this question essentially there are 2 great issues that they are looking into one is the legality of the deal because both men benny gantz and benjamin netanyahu have tried to engineer a deal that somehow safeguards each man's position. and you know he wants to stay at least in some capacity as a prime ministerial figure even after he hands over the power to guns in 18 months

time under the terms of the deal so that he can continue to fight off the corruption charges against him from that position dance wants to ensure that that does actually happen and that he isn't somehow cheated in the process in the intervening 18 months so both of them are being instituted essentially as co-equal prime minister each one taking taking turn in the actual holding the power of that job and that is something that's never happened before so there's a question of whether that is legal whether the laws that are needed to institute that are actually constitutional that's going to be deliberated on tomorrow right now what they're looking at is the eligibility of nessun yahoo under indictment to form a new government the question whether he is actually prime minister as things stand or rather a caretaker figure a member of the knesset who's looking to form a government if the latter then do restrictions against a minister being able to form an oath to serve under indictment. so they apply to

a prime minister now so far the judges seem to have indicated that there is a huge amount of political pressure and momentum for a government to be formed after 3 inconclusive elections there was no admission of that essentially saying that the train had left the station by the chief justice but at the same time they also seem to be exploring at least ways that they might try to limit some of his powers especially on appointing judges and intervention in the legal system so those are the early indications we're getting from what they're talking about so far very thank you very much for that harry foster live for saying in west jerusalem of course we'll be checking in with you throughout the day here to find out the latest in those court proceedings and thousands of palestinian neighbors are returning to work in israel for the 1st time since crossings were closed in march because of the coronavirus pandemic it follows an agreement between israel and the palestinian authority last month some employers were accused of dumping palestinian workers at checkpoints after they showed called the $1000.00 symptoms rights groups accuse israel of failing to ensure workers' safety

al-jazeera is needed abraham is in bethlehem and says despite the health risks the workers are an important source of income for the palestinian authority. thousands of palestinian workers are returning to their work in israel after it agreement has been made to allow them to go there and stay there for a couple of weeks this has been a daily commute for many workers but after the outbreak of corbett 19 an agreement has been made for them to stay in israel a similar agreement was made a couple of weeks ago but some of those workers said that they couldn't find suitable accommodation so they came back according to this agreement around 40000 palestinian workers are expected to cross into israel on sunday and monday they are workers in the agriculture industry and construction sectors they are important for the israeli economy and they are also important for the palestinian economy they

generate around 2 and a half $1000000000.00 into the palestinians weak economy every year so it's been a tough decision for the palestinian authority to make on the one hand around 74 percent of infections have come from workers and those around them but at the same time they're crucial for the economy that has already taken a heads because of closures because of covered $900.00 on the way here we've passed through 2 palestinian checkpoints manned by palestinian security forces and they said that they're only allowing entry to those who have originated permits and they can prove that they can stay in israel for a month now work spec to get those workers to come back in 3 weeks or so in time for the islamic holiday over it will filter and this is going to be the real test for palestinians they said their movement is going to be coordinated with the palestinian authority to ensure that they don't spread infections if and so it's

going to be a challenge for the palestinian authority which has already managed to kind of control the outbreak of course as 90. the un's human rights commissioner is calling for an investigation into violence that's killed more than 40 inmates in a venezuelan prison riot began over a demand for relatives to be allowed to deliver food a warning some of you may find the images interest of those reports disturbing. prisoners from ungentlemanly tension taken to a local hospital dozens of them were hurt after a shootout at the prison located in the city of one. around 450 kilometers away from us relatives were anxiously waiting outside. and we want to know what really happened to a relative's we've been waiting since noon and we still don't know anything human rights representatives have not turned up or anything like i want to know what

happened and. pictures shown in local media showed dozens of inmates dead the government says they were trying to escape but human rights groups say they were protesting for food and want a full investigation into what happened. since venezuela imposed a lockdown to prevent the spread of covert 1000 visiting rights have been suspended prisoners rely on their relatives for food and medicines. but it's not just in venezuela and rest has been on the rise in latin america on saturday in my now state capital of the state of a mass on as prisoners kidnapped 7 guards. then set the prison on fire or thought he say they were trying to distract security forces to dig a tan and then escape the incident lasted for about 5 hours. but this operation was a success we had several hostages and all of them are alive there were no casualties on the police side in which there were people injured but nothing

serious. violence is a regular occurrence in brazilian prisons as rival gangs fight for control. but the situation is different this time prisons 11 america are overcrowded and lacks any taishan a ticking time bomb for the spread of colvin 1000. what's going on is that prisoners are afraid because prisons are overcrowded conditions are bad in brazil for example there is no running water so how can you ask inmates to wash their hands restricting visitors is also a problem because it's a lifeline for inmates that depend on them to get food hygiene products. human rights groups say we do using overcrowding is needed to reduce the spread of disease. but it poses a major challenge for countries where resources are already running short. that is how will. another 10 and a half hours and people have tested positive folk are on

a dozen meat processing factories have been forced to close because of covert 19 the system requires workers standing close together in a pattern repeated across the country one gets sick many others inevitably fall in neat asa sink. the work by its very nature is very crowded people have to stand closely together as they're working on the line to processed he says a meter going by very very quickly the closure of factories from missouri to coal rather from virginia to south dakota creates a real problem in the supply chain farmers know have thousands of animals they need to feed and how to use not something that budgeted for we've got to be able to move to move our cattle further along in the process and right now there's a bottleneck our supply chain literally causing a lot of issues and some concern for our producers donald trump is so concerned about supermarkets running out of meat that he's used an old war time law to keep the meat processing factories open he's designated them as critical infrastructure

but unions are concerned that that might mean what his safety is put to risk they're worried federal guidelines will be ignored one expert says a see what force means less threat to the food supply you're looking at risks of outbreaks if we don't practice these infection control steps measures or on the other hand we're looking at some possible reduction in food supply but not necessarily shortage so it's really necessary to prevent the outbreak so that we processing facilities can continue to operate the u.s. government says it expects the shuttered factories to be back up and running in days not weeks but those in the food industry say the impacts of dealing with the virus will last months alan fischer al-jazeera falls church virginia. still ahead on the program the global pandemic may have dampened new orleans body spirit but

many are working hard to keep this city's soul alive. and bad news acknowledged as one of its most cherished ambassadors are now back on the life and legacy of algerian saying that india. got some lovely fine and sunny weather pushing into southwestern parts of europe over the next couple of days a little further north still plenty of weather systems rolling through we are going to see further showers for central parts of france pushing into germany easing across potent and pushing towards the eastern side of you have to go down as we go on through the next couple days but the showers never really too far away from those central areas as that warmth into the south $29.00 celsius in regards to a few showers there for france many want to see showers into northern england

you know whether we whether we're supporting our local leyline or a fiver daylon or a local restaurant with tyco ice. everybody needs help and the airlines are no different because the airlines are losing half of their revenue for 2020 and some of the by a lot sort of being required across the globe are absolutely massively in the united states it's about $50000000000.00 for the usa alliance and they say that sort of number is replicated in certain jurisdictions and others it is not so there's a lot of given type heah and certainly we want to preserve as many of these airlines as we possibly can for that very highly competitive market we want post covered 19th in certain jurisdictions it has been enough for instance in the middle east some of the countries they have stepped up significantly like at the top in other jurisdictions they haven't been

a struggle you know for instance the the federal government there really has not stepped up to support its 2. and so coming out of post saying you're going to get some airlines that are very well look at other ones that are not so be it it'll be a very unbalanced playing field. but 19 a lot more needs to be done because i view is the is the fabric of the economy of the world and we need a robust aligned system to help with this recovery. now the us city of new orleans has been one of the hotspots of the coronavirus pandemic in the country while frontline health workers are overwhelmed that business is a suffering the community is trying to keep the city's spirit alive. as a story. new orleans is a city whose exuberance is difficult to contain. in late february as people rub

through code 19 just as it survived hurricane katrina 15 years ago are to have experienced catastrophic loss and rebuilding so i think it kind of gives an extra to the community spirit that it's not just the restaurants and hospital workers who benefit from the charity pays out of work musicians to make the deliveries get steady income coming into our bank account and not only more importantly it's given me service work and it's given me something to do with my dad it's given me a part. past that a very hopeless time the effort has yielded more than 2000 meals a day delivered to the front lines what other way when one is be able to give. has given out the the most things that were known for which is the mills it and our food more signs of new orleans's resilience in the face of adversity how did you castro al-jazeera the un expert on frest freedom expression says he
