baltic c enclave of color and garad. fear is of water and food shortages as bangladesh experiences the worst flooding in a century. and from guerrilla fighter to columbia president, we look at the challenges facing gustavo petro afterwards, historic, when ah, hello. so after a, just to year or in office, the leaders of israel's fragile to alicia government have announced they are dissolving parliament. the move will force the country to hold its 5th election in less than 3 and a half years. it comes off to the coalition failed to renew a law on the status of illegals. is really saddler's in the occupied westbank for minister europeans will take over from natalie bennett and the role of intern prime minister until the polls the shelf on. busy on friday i held

a series of talks with legal insecurity officials and i realize that in 10 days what the expiration of the regulations is, right will experience serious security damages and legal chaos. i couldn't allow that will kill law sophomore. we spirit know if that galvanized for me the was needed to pass the regulations, but unfortunately if it's poor, no fruit can therefore my friend and i decided to act together to dissolve parliament and sit and agreed upon date for elections. the up who will bernard smith has more from western whistle m. israel had to it's 50 election in 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 colonies 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 normally passed automatically extent. 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 daniel levy is the president of the us middle east project. and a former is really negotiator. he says the collapse of this parliament is not

a surprise, and it's a real opportunity for former prime minister benjamin netanyahu to make his return to politics. 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 tournament in october. it will be at the end of october unless not an yahoo computer away enough members to form a majority of 61 in the current parliament. that seems very unlikely that the betting will be against that. so the likelihood is elections, not and young, 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 if his prime minister again, he poles highest in the opinion polls consistently. he's party poles, highest the question as ever with this rambunctious but very unusual,

is rated politics of so many small, medium sized parties, is whether him and his allies will get to the magic number. i think you will go into the selection. i'm in a stronger position, with the semi assumption being it's his to lose. ah! russia is urging lithuania to lift a ban on the transit of some goods to color and garage on the baltic sea. the russian enclave is wedged between lithuania and poland. the restrictions effect, the only rail route between main line russia on the territory between officials say the ban will be on good sanctioned by the you across its territory. it includes coal and other metals. the kremlin has vowed to respond if passage isn't restored. samuel romani is an associate fellow the royal united services institute and he

explains how the sanctions will affect cullen and grad. so helen and 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 in 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 coal and other goods have been in effect for well over a month now. so the russians about trying to factor this in, but it's 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 threatens already the baltic states ever since the 1990 s. and the target 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 tab i'm. is your nazi threatened lithuania sovereignty with invasion. so russia threatening lithuania, certainly not new lithuanian russian relationship is extremely poor. for example, as a charge affairs, not even a master level relationship between the 2 countries, but they're 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 issue related goods. i think there's a chance of rushing economic retaliation. the european union's has rushes and its invasion of ukraine is solely to blame for the disruption of green supplies to many african nations. ukraine is one of the world's largest producers of grain. you diplomats have been meeting and luxembourg to discuss the conflicts effect on food security. we can not imagine that the millions of tons of wheat remain

walkie green when the rest of the world people are suffering hunger. this is a real war crime. we are repeating and they have to warn again, do risk of a great amine world, especially now dominic cane has more there's no suggestion that the e u is sensitive to the suggestion that it's sanctions against russia are counterproductive in one sense. namely that certain countries in africa and elsewhere that rely on the sorts of food stuff that are produced in ukraine are having difficulty in accessing them. certainly the suggestion was put to your set, boil high representative for the e on external and foreign policy about precisely that. and his answer was no. that is not the case. the impact of sanctions that the ears impose is not affecting the ability of african countries to get hold of fertilizer and then foodstuffs for

their economy and for their peoples. but there is also the suggestion that by d swift in certain russian bags, that means by a sanctioning russian backs not letting them use the swift transaction system that, that to has impacted upon african countries and other countries in developing world, in how they get hold of the sorts of things they need for their people. and again, mr. bar else contention is that that is not the case. in his view. the problems that many countries on are facing are the consequence of russia's actions and not of e u sanctions. tens of thousands of people who rallied in georgia in support of joining the european union after the use executive arm held back from recommending the country be granted. candidate status. around 60000 protesters have gathered in front of the parliament into believe c, ukraine, moldova, and georgia. all applied for a new membership after russia invaded ukraine. last week, the european commission agreed to back ukraine, unwell dover,

colombians are coming to terms with a major change of direction after the left string. can david gustavo petro, on sundays presidential election, the former rebel fighter is promising greener and fairer policies. but shares and columbia as oil and mining companies, have fallen sharply. series above reports from bobo, tar doreen did not stop thousands of people from gathering outside gustavo pedro's headquarters economist informer left. when guerrilla will be elections with just over 50 percent of the rooms, it's an un columbia, the 1st time and left when candidate has won the presidency, i want to cry, this is the 1st time we are going to have a popular government from the left, from the people of those who have suffered the armed conflicts and he is someone who represents us, the people on the street. these people have been demanding change in this country,

were liberals and conservatives have been sharing power for years. i believe that they've been getting a bit of change. this was petra's 30 presidential bid. he's now a seasoned politician who's victory at columbia to the list of latin american countries. the have elected center left precedence in recent years. on sunday evening, he was presented to he supported by his running mate, friends, jamarkis, who will be columbia's 1st, afro colombian woman vice president. locate we are writing history right now. a new history for latin america. what is coming here is change real change in which we commit to life itself. we're not going to disenchanted voters that have been

screaming that from now on columbia changes. oh, petro defeated, 77 year old, populous world, for a man this who was referred by many as the king of tick tock. oh, but better will face many challenges. 47 percent of the country did not vote for him and only say he will have to negotiate his reforms in congress for this is not only the 1st time that oliver and candy a dismal like that in columbia. but also the 1st time that we have up left when congress to because back to study coded social movement behind gustavo, better was able to elect, ah, a good number of congress members. so he will have our, a congress that is in favor of him, not a complete majority, hasn't obama jaretha congress. but he has a good number of congress members. and dad is also a something that the signs that he could harbor success. in his turn, i saw peter will take off his in august for many,

his government will empower the people in the country who have been ignored by authorities for years. but he said, well, i'll just see down for that. let's now crossover some of the times me to horsehead as triple who's a political analyst and a professor of economics at the pontifical zavion university. he's joining us as i said, from bogus. i welcome to al jazeera sir, so will hetero be able to carry out of the, the, the reforms that he promised on the camp campaign tro, given the fact that the countries still has a strong right wing oligarchy who may be against these reforms. and also he doesn't have the majority in congress, it will be very difficult. you will have to negotiate with the dodge minority to buy these towards the rate some of the right, some of them built position at the content of those referrals. anybody's way, he won the election, very old proposals, radical some will say,

in order to move towards the left. but the actual agenda reforms have to go through congress most of them, except from that he can institute through executive powers and for dodge to go through congress. you will have to negotiate even posts in cabinet, in order to manage to shift and water than those reports. right? so is so what you're saying is that it is going to be very challenging for him going forward then. yes, i need will depend on his capacity to move in to political environment, to able to organize not only that congressional coalition or those reforms economy . we don't have a bench says, then we'll fixed coalitions. but rather a moral coalition that move from issue to issue from reform to reform. but on top of that, he will have to bring to that over the participation all the other parties that were don't support it on these provincial beat. so we know that this is

a society that also is part of the, the large a person that the lation that he see in very dire in poor condition, and what do you think this all means for latin american politics and relations with neighboring countries? well, 1st aid, it becomes an alliance in itself. i, with the countries of the left mexico in several countries in central america. but they do actually an urgent dean as well. and most like he probably did turn in brazil will add up another country that will make up a complete axis of the left. now it's, it's a very different shaded axis. if i can put it that way in columbia, we will have to see what will be the, the make up of these left. in terms of policy proposals, in my view, it will be a combination between the mexican and under g argentinean left. but dictionary
