decades, colombia 1st black vice president, how housekeeper turned environmental activist friend c. a mock is made history for marginalized community. and russia threatened to retaliate after lithuania buzz at some rail transit to moscow's baltic. c, explain of kellen in brent at on he to stay with your school to decisions sending shockwave through the sporting world, the international swimming federation. bens shawn's chin, the athletes from elite womens events. ah hello. we begin this news hour with breaking news from israel way, a prime minister in italy, bennett, and foreign minister yale appeared to have agreed to dissolve parliament. the move will force the countries 5th election in less than 3 and

a half years. the paid will take the roll of inch from prime minister until the poles, and smith is in west jerusalem. he explains what to lead to the coalitions collapse . as israel had to its 5th election and 3 and a half years, it's a surprise to many israelis that this coalition has lasted as long as it has when it was pulled together just over a year ago. it was a strange combination of cars from the far right, the right, the left and for the 1st time, palestinian israeli were included in the government. but its sole purpose really was to get rid of benjamin netanyahu as prime minister. he's been israel prime minister previously for a total of 15 years and netanyahu once the job back and he was he who engineered the collapse of his government with his opposition partners. he voted against the extension of a settler bill every 5 years. this comes up in israel's parliament and it's normally past automatically extended. it allows the extension of. busy israeli law into the settlements by failing to extend this law. netanyahu's coalition

has precipitated the collapse of the government, the war expires at the end of this month. but because there's going to be new elections, it will be automatically extended for another 6 months. those new elections will be held probably before some time in mid october. and until then. yeah, i like people stand in inter and prime minister joining is down from london is daniel leaving. he's the president of the us middle east project and a former israeli negotiate a daniel, thanks so much for being on this news. our 1st thing talk us through the turbulent wakes that have led up to these point and the pressure that the government is under . is it any surprise that a got is point? well, as was pointed out, emily, this is a hybrid coalition. it was built up over glue that consisted exclusively

of not wanting not an yahoo. so you had some of her, the center, the center left the far right. ah, one of the parties representing the palestinian arab citizens. it was always going to be hard to hold that together. it held together for a year. and what you saw was members from the right peeling off, just one or 2. it was a government with a tiniest majority. so one or 2. and that's what happened or one peeled off right at the beginning. another left, a 3rd has now said that he would leave all paradoxically, perhaps from the party of the prime minister, natalie bennett. he only won 7 seats out of a 120, but it became prime minister all peeled off over issues that the government wasn't doing quite enough that for the hard. right. but all because their constituency also wasn't really with them. it's not a great surprise that this has happened that the exact timing that the government

has initiated are going to new elections rather than wait it to lose a vote. that was a little bit of a surprise. but no. and the fact that one cannot miss together is not, it is not a great surprise him. so what did this mean, fair, former prime minister benjamin netanyahu in india, his ari could he form a coalition before israelis even go to the pulse? well, you put your finger on it there, emily, that's precisely the question that everyone will be asking themselves to 9 in the next few days because the parliament will vote to dissolve itself. the date has been agreed. i believe. for late october, there's the jewish holiday season. jewish new year, deb atonement in october. it will be at the end of october unless not on yahoo compete away enough members to former majority of $61.00 in the current parliament . that seems very unlikely that the bedding will be against that are simply

that the numbers don't stack up emily. so the likelihood is elections, not an yahoo looks pretty strong in those elections. he's in court defending himself. he kind of needs this to assist his court position. there are strong suggestions that he would try and change things so that the court case itself could not continue his prime minister again. he paused highest in the opinion, polls consistently, his party poles highest. the question as ever with this rambunctious but, but very unusual israeli politics of so many small, medium sized parties is whether him and his allies will get to the magic number. i think he will go into this election. i am in a stronger position with the semi assumption being it's his to lose. and you mentioned just then his trial i will, i know we're thinking that if we don't know what's going to happen, but he was, if he wants to be the later again, what would that mean for his corruption, trump?

well at that stage, what you have is the possibility it's not confirmed, it's not definite. it could work the possibility of passing a law that a sitting prime minister could not be on trial at the same time. you could try, perhaps, more realistically, to get appointments in key positions in the police, in the state prosecutorial system, to revisit whether indeed this trial can go ahead. now, it may be that none of those things can happen. and the other thing, it's really important, i think, feel feel viewers to, to hear if i may, is that things didn't really change under his government when it came to the palestinian issue. so the glue was not an yahoo out. but when it came to occupation settlements home, demolitions, violating international law and palestinian rights, this was a government of continuity, not change. how will the vote on this?

i be interpreted by israelis who will be going to the polls now for a 5th time in 3 years. all calls the remarkable thing in the last 4 occasions was how little changed from one round of voting to the next, i think is re liza probably by and large fed up or but they are very split. again, they're very split over the issue of is be, be the best guy for the country. really been them name they call not a yahoo, or is beebee the worse news for the country on many other things. there's a much broader consensus. so i think what you will see is a scrap is a fight for every boat in it will come down to whether a few of the smaller parties make it over the threshold. what is the turn out in different sectors do the palestinian arab citizens of israel vote in larger or smaller numbers? those are the kinds of issues that are gonna determine the outcome of this election

. it's going to be fascinating to what to play out. thank you very much for your analysis, said daniel levy, the president of the us middle east project. thank you. thank you. moving on now and thousands of striking workers have taken to the straits of brussels to protest against the rising cost of living. nationwide strike has effected public transport, including flight cancellations, and one of the main airports in the country steadfast reports from the belgian capital instead of going to their factories or offices, tens of thousands of belgian stake to the streets, unable to cope with dramatic price hikes. they hoped to send a strong message to their government. the bears, everything is getting more expensive. the fuel products in the shops of life is getting very hard. people can't accept this any longer. the nationwide strike force brussels airport to cancel all the parking flights of its security personnel joined

a story and very significant victory for many people in columbia, federal as articulated at once again, his ambitious plans and as victory speech sunday night, while many colombians were celebrating not only and both as we saw at that is a story, but also, in many of the most remote regions of the country, that it came out massively to vote for pay through. and petro spoke about them and their needs. and he's hoping that his many reforms, if indeed he can put them to place with benefits with benefit they sit at these people in particular. and it's easy spoke about implementing the piece deal and starting what he calls a social and economic transition that towards a more environmentally friendly columbia. he's hoping to move the country away from

its reliance on oil and coal. and this obviously has the mike, wary about his plans already today on monday, the main colombian oil and the mining companies have got a hit in the market in the markets. internationally. that said, though, if you speak to a lot of up servers year, they'll tell you that while many see or fear that the us proposals are very radical when you was a mayor of vogue with that. for example, you actually cut the deficits of this safety and was able to track the more for an investment. so we're gonna have to see what happens with that. the another major issue on their mind, the voters of the voters of fits are obviously wise at the economy. columbia has been hit hard by the pandemic. poverty has increased the yeah, here

a lot of people are out of a job. and even if the, the macroeconomy as rebounded the since the worst day of the been that make people say that they have not seen the benefits so far in it, quality has the increase also and all of these issues are hoping that that will change with it throws administration to be able to put in place as reforms, so he will have to find out ally more allies in the, in the political center of the country. he already started doing that one of the last, the acts of the electoral campaign actually was that. and you star what he's calling a national dialogue, always to read to words reaching a national court for as reforms. one of the main issues there, the key points with b being able to push through congress a major tax reform, increasing faxes on the rich, for example,

closing many loopholes that for, for in companies, for example, have in the country while maintaining the level of an international investment that will be able to do that. we don't know right now. also the issue of increasing violence in the territories where he was voted the a massively one example about that one of the remaining armed groups in the country . the last is the elanda national liberation army said that they are open to restart peace negotiations with gustavo pay through administration. yet. they also warned the president that unless he's able to put those reforms in place, it could face with valuation from them and also see growth and demonstrations returned to the streets of the country. okay, thank you very much, alexandra ram, p a t. they live for us in bo car. amanda gustavo petros, running made francere marquez will become columbia's 1st black vice president.

she's a single mother and environmental activist who was challenged a mining companies in her home region. yet are good. i said, i want to think all colombians who have given their life for this moment. all our brothers and sisters who have unfortunately been killed in this country to the youth who have been killed and disappeared to the women who have been raped and who are disappeared to all of them. they are with us in this historic moment yet we give them thanks. thanks for having taken the path. thank you for planting the seed of resistance and hope that by. okay, so let's take a closer look now at who my case is. as a teenager, single mother, she worked as a housemaid. she latest studied for a low degree in 2018. she was awarded the goldman prize, the world's most important environmental prize relating efforts to stop a legal gold mining on her country's ancestral land. marquez spearheaded a 10 day protest,

much of dozens of women to the capitol. she survived several attempts on her life in the conflict rigid ridden region around her home town. for more on this, let's bring in elaine tick now, who is in bogota and is a professor of international studies at del rosario university. my case has an extraordinary story, as we just heard. so why has she been so popular with colombians? thank you, emily. she had, she became a household name actually, due to these elections. i would say that she's, she was well known before among certain circles, mostly the social activism world, the feminist world and abroad, given her environmental activism. but it was really her decision to run for president during this election that she became widespread, widespread national figure. and i think this speaks to her, her tremendous energy and power as a social leader. this is,

i think her election is vice president is just as historic, if not even more so than that of the petro given her background, given the fact that she isn't, you know, comes from a humble background, given the fact tissues and after to send in a country, which is one of the most unequal and potentially most racist in latin america. you mentioned her historic election. what does that election and that of her over lecturing presidents say about the changing face of columbia? i think it speaks quite powerfully to a country undergoing change the election results point to a significant degree of polarization and division. petra, one by a decent margin. not an overwhelming one. and yet the fact that he but he and marcos for elected speaks quite powerfully of a country that is transiting towards peace. i hope some day that's overcoming some

of the sources of discrimination that have been long standing in this country. and i think it speaks to the power in particular women and youth, which were, you know, important factors in the election of this combo. elaine, you mentioned some of the challenges effort colombians face on a day to day basis. what is my kids promising to do to change them? well, in addition to being vice president, which is more of a symbolic position in colombia, in many parts of the world, she has been offered the ministry of equality, which was, i think, her condition for joining the petro formula as a way to start working more systematically towards addressing different sources of racial gender, ethnic discrimination in columbia. so i think the promise that she has made to the company and population to work in favor of home, she calls the nobodies of the country. the other creation of a new ministry will allow her to start working towards addressing some of these

myriad grievances that have led to the election of both petro and herself. so you mentioned that her role as vice president is largely symbolic. so do you think you'll be able to enact more changing that ministerial role most definitely the, the possibility of being both vice president and minister and columbia allows different vice president actual figures to exercise much more political leverage in terms of participating in a more equal terms in governance, and i think even if vice president the fact that she is such a powerful political figure, the fact that she actually brought many boats to the petro campaign also may create more leeway in terms of her vice presidency than has existed for previous people who have occupied this position. well, it really is an extraordinary kind of events. we appreciate you breaking down for us. elaine took now a professor of international studies. thank you. a controversial draft of tennessee,

as new constitution has been handed to president. i said the constitutional referendum is planned for next month. so i had dissolved parliament and assumed, assumed executive powers last year in the move hands lead to protests and unrest in the country. opposition parties saying siad is tightening his grip on power and have threatened to boycott july's, vice still ahead of work is in zimbabwe say, and they're underpaid. and other words, now walking off the job, the last and remains of assassinated congolese independence icon, patrice lumber, returned to his family by former colonial power belgium. and later in sport, mass misstep and extensive championship laid ah.

with right hot dry and dusty cosy, most of the time we get seasonal. when does you know in the middle east and there's one picking up again out of the hot interior of iraq. so we got $54947.00. she comes slowly south. it's still pretty hot, and this is picking up the dust, which is lights come down as a rather brown sky from kya down to bahrain. probably cut the forecast was leave the dough, how the capital is still well above where it should be. the average is about 40, but as the wind picks up, dusty, when picks up, the temperature tend to come down just a little bit back to where it should be. it's much more pleasant all 11 time coast . a few shells, maybe from gather up towards lebanon, a mass in turkey, another one over asked a northern pakistan. this in particular might have caught your eye because 50 degrees is not hot at all. no, sir,

but 50 degrees below where it should be the average. your cobble is quite high, few showers here and then it warms up again. are tommy assist? i'd like to give you some good news. the horn of africa? proffer a few light shaft maybe in ethiopia or i count the drought conditions continue not just next 2 days the next few weeks, of course, even months in southern africa, particular western cape. and maybe even botswana significant rain is on its way. ah, the sun, sand and so a warnings postcard image hides a piece of battle over the past future. this island power one. 0, one east. me. the locals determined to keep for why, for why. on out here with

the day you decide to do something for the 1st time and that faith day pay anything bigger, we days come off to that new consistency in ah ah ah hello, you're watching al jazeera, i'm emily anglin. he is

a reminder of our top stories, this alum, israel's prime minister, naphtali bennett, and foreign minister, yale, appear to have agreed to dissolve parliament. the moved will force the countries at faith election in less than 3 and a half years. the paid will take the roll of interim prime minister until the pose, tens of thousands of people have taken to the straits of brussels, demanding government help to cope with the rising cost of living. it's the lightest and be good day of action plan by labor unions. they're asking for more investment in the public sector. and the cost of living was also a major issue in the french election. that's left president. manuel. micron with north claim majority a left wing alliance lead by john mcmillan shown is now the main opposition. the far right also made the gains zimbabwe health workers have gone on strike to protest against low salaries and poor working conditions. it's the 2nd walk out by nurses and other health professionals since the coven 19 at pandemic

began 2 years ago. i room matessa has more from harry ah, protests against the bob as government urrea, doctors and nurses in the public health sector. know they're taking a huge risk in the past. some workers have been victimized or fired for speaking out about working conditions and salaries. but these people are growing increasingly desperate and say they wages are being eroded by rising inflation. this is an act of last resort. we asked the public to hold the government accountable for how they're treating health workers. but more importantly, how they're treating this to general civil serves. it's common knowledge that the currencies imperial, but they have not taken action. most of the people you see here, don't own houses, is the 2nd war caught by health workers during the club. 19 pandemic. last week, unions reject to the governments offer to double min bestsellers. a 100 percent

wage increase may sound like a lot, but inflation reached more than 130 percent in may. that means it will do middle tell people facing a rising cost of living. i public say to employees want their wage is paid in u. s. studies union leaders say the lowest paid government worker takes home less than $20000.00 above with dollars a month. that's less than $100.00 us dollars. they went that to go up to $540.00 us dollars, but that may not be feasible. government didn't is to do you monetize the or financial sector convert there is in dollar balances and other savings in zoomed will us into us last august with that choirs a huge amount of money which government may actually motive work, stoppages and go slows, are common in the public health sector, csm bobbins, who can't afford treatment at private hospitals suffer before a day because of this. the 6th because he misses he is in,

if you are in it read suspicion or images they would attend to. people are doing because of that. so it affects us much striking health look as insist they won't report the duty until they demand for more money is mit others worried about their pay getting docked? if they miss a shift, say they will be in the woods, or they'll be on or go slow harder. matessa al jazeera had adding russia is urging lithuania to lift a ban on the transit of some goods to kellen. in grand on the baltic, sane, the russian exclaimed, is wedged between lithuania and poland. the restrictions affect the only railroad between mainland russia and the territory. lithuanian officials say the measures will be on good sanctioned by the aid you across its territory. it includes coal and other metals. the kremlin has vowed to respond if passage isn't were stored. i spoke with samuel remaining, who's an associate fellow at the royal united services institute. he explains how

the sanctions will affect kellen in grad. so killing grad is an important transit route to obviously the european union because of a strategic location here. the baltic sea lithuania, poland has also an important area for a lot of the transit of key russian military assets as well. including iskander is a nuclear heap of muscles, weight restrictions have been factored in for some time. poland actually was the originator of this idea in the came point plan that poland had and the war and ukraine. one of the plans was due band with cargo and ro transit between russia and european countries. and the u sanctions on the on call and other goods have been in effect for well over a month now. so the russians about time to fact of the sin, but still in the media blow, one half of counting grants. products, for example, come from european countries, though as an immediate supply chain. yet russia currently threaten the sovereignty of the baltic states ever since the 1990 s and the car again of doctrine came forward when they attacked the baltic states for supposedly discriminating against

that russians. we've seen a russian alter nationalist like body. marcella saw the av and the media where the late to body missouri nazi threatened lithuania sovereignty with invasion. so russia threatening lithuania, certainly not new lithuanian russian relationship is extremely poor. for example, as a charged affairs, not even a master level relationship between the 2 countries. but there are certainly going to be some ground for escalation to watch, one of which is eventual complete, located on all the waning products, entering russia, the way needs of already stopped importing rush and gas and energy. so there's not much diversity can do even the energy hard, but a non energy related goods. i think there's a chance of russian economic retaliation to bangladesh. now we're millions of people stranded by the worst one soon flying in a century. and they're at risk of food and water shortages. flooding is wreaking havoc in northern and north east in districts. and it's expected to get worse with water levels rising in major rivers. the army has been deployed to help with relief efforts. millions of homes remain under water. roads have been cut off and local

airports are closed. dozens of people have died since the storms began in april. can be challenging, has more from select. i'm please 20 kilometer from the salon city. this area is called measured by there. you can see right behind me, lot of this village or miles after miles are inundated with flood water. i've been sport speaking to some of the villagers. they said they don't have any fresh water . they've been using the flood water, boiling them, and drinking them, and using whatever it means to cook food in a dry space, whatever they have here. and they haven't received any flood. some of the people on their own took shelter, and the school nearby. they received some rice ration from the government agencies and local politician, but nothing else. and the government has deployed military navy, coast guard even air force rescue holly proctors are making re, connor supplied, tried to rescue people from remote areas. so for at least 100000 people have been

evacuated or rescued by the military's in this region. it's a bangladesh as about a division. so that is one division which is about 4 districts. so it's a big area and at least 60 percent of that division is inundated with flood water. it is one of the worst in more than a 100 years, according to the government does lester and relief ministry. now the main issue here is getting fresh water, food and emergency medicine. some of the hospitals also are inundated, so it's a very challenging environment. and the flood forecast a center said that the next 2 days is possibly gonna be more rain. torrential rain, which is a bad news if that happens, the flood could actually next 2 days get worse. and so is northern bangladesh, which most of the rivers are going and flowing through danger level. so northern bangladesh is also clear danger or flooding. at least 14 districts are already flooded,

particularly cory graham and natural khana is heavily flooded. and heavy rains continue to lash india is no vase to flooding large ponds of the region. some state is the worst effected, hundreds of thousands of people are stranded and the death toll has risen to 71 since april. happening middle reports from wrong year in these people are out to get a daily supplies this road connect 40 villages and is a major lifeline for the town of wrong gas. it's been under water for nearly a week. so i had dinner this year. well, it's been more than $6.00 to $7.00 days in the flooding started in the area. the water came into our house. the day before yesterday. my house was submerged at night. heavy floating in a solid state has affected more than 4000000 people. thousands of villages are flooded and many people have been forced to flee their homes while heavy rain usually fall at this time of year in some areas like wrong. i haven't seen this kind of flooding in many years. many people were unprepared and they can saw that

governing body as those it's been transgender athletes from elite women's competition for you know, sense the ruling will protect the competitive fairness of the sport. andy richardson reports, this is a really, very important moment for us. it's an announcement that sent a shock waves around the sporting world, swimming world governing body fina to voting to ban that transgender women from female events. if they've experienced any parts of male puberty the future, it is a policy that we need to introduce in order to protect the competitive fairness of all of our events. olson is to a report from a scientific panel concluded that male pbc gives individuals significant physical advantages. in sport, the decision would stop american athlete lee. it's homeless. who recently became the 1st transgender swimmers to win a college title from representing her country out the olympics. fina has said,

it will now sets of an open category for athletes whose gender identity does not match their sex at birth. there must be categories, women, man and of course a category for trans women and trans man, a space. i want anyone who loves competing in aquatic sports to have a space and to achieve their goals. in that space. fair competition is a strong hold and staple of our community. i'm asking everyone to take a breath. listen before reacting. listen to the science and experts. listen to the people who have stood up here and have been telling you how difficult it is been to reconcile inclusion and fairness. ah, swimming is the 2nd limited discipline after rugby to introduce such a band. while most of the sports used to stop thrown level as

a basis for allowing trans women to compete with 5 and not too much, i did not see this coming, but i believe for a long time that we can talk about what the barriers to entry look like what transition requirements look like, but our right benz for any trans woman who experience part of puberty. i'd in the coming see that come through the other sports now have to decide if with its proposed open category of swimming. a set a precedent. they wished to follow the dang, i'm the richardson al jazeera there and earlier today we spoke to sport scientists . ross tucker, who's been involved in developing a policy on the subject for world rugby. he explained why spoke to parties have moved away from the issue of testosterone levels when ruling on transgender athletes. if you go back about 20 years, i think that was when sports officials recognize the challenge that they would be faced with. and they basically asked the question is,

why is there an issue in the issue is that males have performance advantages by virtue of what this duster and gives them. and the solution that came up with is if you take that this just run away and you take the advantage away and it turns out that that doesn't work. so there are now 13 studies that have been published in the last 15 years and universally, without exception, they show that even taking the testosterone levels right down into woman's ranges does not remove the biology that has been created by this test. so for example, where muscle mass and strength of 50 percent higher in males and females, taking testosterone away any takes about 5 percent that away. and because sport is about bodies and it's about biological sex, the reality is that we have to know that will. why do we want women to exist? and if we want women sports to be a category that says to provide fairness, an opportunity for females, then we can have inclusion where before spoke is trying to achieve

a level of balance between. it now has to make a choice. one of them has to be prioritized but the other and when swimming is done in fantasy tex priority and we'll seek to find inclusion elsewhere, but never at the expense of fairness to women. at the world swimming championships in budapest, queen of the pool. katy lutekey won her 2nd gold medal at the event. 2 days after winning the 400 meters freestyle, the american dominated, the 1500 winning by more than 14 seconds. they dickie it has now one and incredible 17 world titles in her career and the 1st world record of the meat went to italian . thomas cheque chung. he won the mens 100 meter back stroke in 51.6 seconds. and history was created in the meant to be the freestar, 17 year old as david popovich, she became the 1st romanian male to win a swimming wool title, english gulf. a matt fitzpatrick has joined the ranks of major champions of potentially the us open title in brooklyn. fitzpatrick was leading by one going to
