india's coronavirus crisis. and the u.n. report that says 150000000 people are at risk of hunger because of war climate change and now the pandemic. flu facebook has up held its ban on donald trump's account but its oversight board says the decision must be reviewed in 6 months the former u.s. president was suspended in the wake of january's attack on the capital the verdict could influence how social media will treat regulators in future that's going on now to washington d.c. and patty kohei know how to talk us through the decision by their side board. well let's remember let's begin by remembering exactly what happened as insurrectionists were actually inside the capitol lawmakers we saw then president released a video on facebook where he's talked about again the election was stolen which of
10:02 pm
course it wasn't but he also urged people to go home but at the same time said we love you you're very special people will facebook at that point said we're taking down the content we're we're going to shut down his account the next day they made it a permanent permanent ban saying that he was likely going to spur additional violence by propagating the big lie that he didn't in fact lose the election so i think they have a facebook and they've had before this was a 20 member board of academics academics diplomats lawyers and they looked at whether or not that was the right decision to make and they said yes in fact that was the right decision because he could have created a situation where violence escalated but the same time they said facebook you can't just make up this band permanent band if it wasn't in the in your contract before hand so they've ordered facebook again it's a voluntary but they said facebook should reevaluate this decision in 6 months and
10:03 pm
figure out if the punishment fits what they say are the violations of its rules the broader implications of this decision. well for donald trump it means that when it comes time for him to show that he's still the leader of the republican party for example if you wanted to say i like this candidate in this primary makes it much tougher for me and can't just send that out to his tens of millions of followers he's not happy about it he released a statement on his own web site which is more of a blog now calling this a total disgrace and an embarrassment pledging that these corrupt social media companies must pay a political price so it could have an impact on how much influence he has in the future especially because he's still banned twitter but the bigger question is going to be is this going to spur his very many allies on capitol hill to really seriously start looking at whether or not facebook and instagram and twitter if they're a monopoly and if that's the case it could go they could be able to break them up
10:04 pm
which they've done in the past with big monopolies so that was a conversation that was happening on both sides of the aisle but now we're seeing a lot of conservatives say this is pure censorship they're too powerful and something must be done so we'll see again thank you very much benjamin netanyahu his 12 year run as israeli prime minister could be over after the president asked his political rival to form a new government president ruben rivlin says yeah who had the centrist party secured the support of 56 of the knesset 120 members it's the latest attempt to end israel's political deadlock after 4 inconclusive elections in the past 2 years sorry folks it has more from west jerusalem whose response. rivlin the president has given the mandate to lockheed the head of the opposition but neither of those people are involved in what is the real battle that seems to be going on here which is between benjamin netanyahu and the leader of a smaller right wing party yemeni natale bennett he has an yahoo has been
10:05 pm
absolutely ripping into bennett saying that he's being driven by personal ambition that he's essentially selling out by wanting to years as prime minister in a potential deal with lockheed for a change coalition block in the israeli parliament the knesset that he is going back on various promises he gave jury in the election campaign about not working with a left wing government and that is being driven by his lust for power now set aside what some people are pointing out when they look at benjamin a night netanyahu accusing someone else of personal political ambition this is a real bid by now you know to try to stop this this coalition building before it's even really got under way he is appealing for both bennett and for other members of his party some of whom have been expressing doubts about entering into this very broad coalition with members of the israeli left which would probably have to be
10:06 pm
supported from the outside by palestinian israeli parties this right wing party does appear to be split within itself as to whether this is a good idea despite the fact that bennett has committed to having said that you know failed to form a right wing government to trying to form a national unity government. the world health organization says nearly half of the world's coronavirus infections during the past week have been in india the country also accounts for a quarter of all deaths reported last week all the while hospitals are seeing shortages not just of beds and oxygen but health care workers to elizabeth around and reports from new delhi. when rowan decided to be a doctor he didn't expect to have to choose who lives and who dies a year before completing his medical training at the age of 26 he's in charge of an
