5:06 pm
this won't fall today, the government winful today, but it may, will mark the beginning of the end of this particular government and early elections that now the opposition are using this as a way of actually trying to put pressure on the government they'll be meeting on wednesday to try and decide what they want to do next. in all likelihood, it may well be early elections now her this way be herself, has issued a tweet. she said this last month, the month of ramadan has been unbearable. the sites that came from temple mouth and the violent policeman in front of the crowd of worshippers. the funeral palestinian gen assuring a barclay brought me to only one valuable personal conclusion. no more. i can no longer support the existence of a coalition that harasses the arabs. in this disgraceful way, but she is a member of the marriage party, the largest arab palestinian israeli party, is actually the joint arab list. now they need to decide what they need to do next . if they decide they're going to leave the government,
5:07 pm

5:09 pm
a sense of what they discussed. the white house said it will be a range of issues, security issues, as well as their collective support for ukraine. and of course, it is really their support of ukraine and their opposition to vladimir putin, the russian leaders invasion of ukraine that spurned these applications in the 1st place. and that is the real sticking point for vladimir putin. he did not want to see the expansion of nato eye, and this is really what is now reshaping the landscape, the post cold war landscape, in terms of the, the past neutrality of both finland and sweden. so that's what makes this very significant. but as we have been discussing her and al jazeera for some days, now, there are some sticking points, and that is turkey. it requires the approval of all of the members of nato in terms of the security block to approve these new applications. a turkey is opposed to this at the moment because of concerns of the positions of both finland and sweden
5:10 pm
with respect to the p, k. k. this is something that is a party within the or within turkey that is a domestic in nature. and this is something that the white house says can be allayed in terms of these concerns. but again, we're not exactly sure how so waiting to see what these leaders say when they emerge from the rose garden or appear in the rose garden in the coming hour. all right, we'll cross back to you then. thank you very much for that update. kimberly help get our one has correspondent, man g 7, finance ministers and meeting in germany with the high cost of rebuilding ukraine after the war on the agenda. they're also discussing ukraine's immediate financial needs. we have to secure as we liquidity or to greenslate. we are impressed by the bravery which as you crim people are showing in, there are 5 for freedom for, for all of our values. so,

5:20 pm
a doubt. and that's been happening in the united kingdom, is person to person spread. so one person who is infected and infectious part of it on to others. and in the united kingdom, we've found it as a cluster amongst men who have sex with men. so, so that's a cluster that we've identified in the united kingdom elsewhere. i don't know what the potter needs for transmission between humans and outbreak of wild polio has been declared in mozambique tests on the single child whose infected shad links to a recent outbreak in neighboring lowering vaccination has helped to eradicate polio . and many parts of the world, the disease can cause paralysis and is transmitted through contaminated food, water, or contact with an infectious past. the number of people in north korea with fever like symptoms has range nearly 2000000. co 19 is spreading quickly through the

5:22 pm
solutions are necessary to help families that are in crisis right now. i think for myself and for the organization that i'm a part of mothers milk alliance which supports facilitated donor milk sharing in our community. the long term solution also has to be creating sustainable systems for families to be able to have the support they need to establish breastfeeding, to have time to be with their babies, to continue breastfeeding. and then when breastfeeding doesn't work to have safe alternatives, including donor milk and a safe supply of baby organization here in madison, wisconsin provides an alternative formula, supplementation for some families. so donor milk is an option for families who are facing or a shortage of formula for organizations like ours, we facilitate sharing in the community. so we connect families who have too much now were able to donate, who are healthy and whose babies are healthy to share their additional milk with families who might not have quite enough to feed their babies. there's also options
5:23 pm

5:25 pm
heavier, those that situation could also get out of control. no one is really challenging. the relief effort is the fact that key roads and key railway lines have been completely blocked off because of landslides. and so it's been difficult to get people out. those areas have been completely cut off. and also these are important links to other parts of the larger northeast region. so housing, the people in neighboring states have been affected because of that. some states have started rationing fuel to make sure they don't run out because the government says it will take at least $45.00 days to get the read re lines restored. but it does expect to get all the roads up and running over the next few days. climate change has become as central same ahead of elections in australia this weekend. the country is experiencing more frequent extreme weather events and scientists warn a could become uninsurable by 2030. sarah clark reports from sidney.
