that many places in the country. it's in the state of karnataka where 24 patients died on monday as a result of oxygen shortages the government is facing a lot of criticism from high courts around the country about the situation the delhi high court told the government that is living in an ivory tower while people die from a lack of oxygen now we have been covering the lack of hospital beds and oxygen a lot over the past 2 weeks but the most recent shortage to be flagged up is by the delhi water board which told the supreme court on wednesday that it's facing an acute water shortage and is and might have to supply to hospitals now but worrying and continuing with the worrying saw. is the states of the vaccination campaign. where vaccines that are even coming into the country from foreign donors are actually going.

a so-called change bloc in the israeli parliament the knesset that wants to see an alternative government not featuring benjamin netanyahu and commit himself to forming a right wing coalition then you know has already offered bennett the opportunity to go 1st in a rotational prime minister arrangement if he agreed to such a deal however even if that happened there are real doubts that the 2 men could form a coalition featuring the $61.00 knesset seats required for it to be a functioning stable government equally there are doubts that if bennett joined the change bloc there would be enough seats on that side either so now the next public decision belongs to the president of israel riven rivlin he has 3 days to decide whether to give the next mandate to who is the opposition leader and has the next highest number of seats in the knesset after netanyahu or give it to bennett or simply decide to throw it open to the knesset more generally that would mean

a 3 week deadline to form a coalition government and if none resulted from that it would trigger an automatic 5th election all of this leaves that you know in the most endangered position he's been since the start of this 4 election 2 year political crisis however he is far from out of it even without the mandate he could try to maneuver behind the scenes to try to get a coalition government that favored him he could try to obstruct anyone else from forming one potentially blaming them for leading israel to a 5th election and even if he were forced out and into opposition there's no guarantee that a government that would have to be made of very disparate elements would survive all that long so there would still be the prospect of another that me a comeback. those really forces of attack demonstrators in occupied east jerusalem and stopped other protesters from entering the area they were seemed to forcefully detaining people in the occupied shipping charge neighborhood protestors were also thrown to the ground there's anger over a court ruling forcing several palestinian families to leave the neighborhood
