state of emergency remains in effect, in ecuador. in fact, the country's president get more lasso, has extended that state of emergency to include 6 provinces of ecuador, and that state of emergency will last for a total of 30 days. the goal here, or the strategy by ecuadorian government, is to contain these protests that have really begin begun to get out of hand. they've been growing for more than a week. now the government has taken a hard line against demands by demonstrators many who are protesting or indigenous activists or digits. people from different part of the country who are the who are saying that the fuel prices are absolutely way too high to completing over higher costs of food over inflation over worsening poverty linked to the cobra, 1900 pandemic. now these demonstrations were primarily organized by canada, which is a group of different indigenous communities from all across a quote,

a possibility. the water ukraine has slowed down economic recovery from the pandemic across the world. it stokes record invasion in several countries and rising discontent in britain, the biggest well so i can see decades is underway. what is it amounting better wages to cope with inflation, which is currently running at 9 percent for brandon reports from london. london's waterloo station is one of britain's biggest, on busiest, but not today, not this week. 3 alternative strike days on tuesday, thursday, and saturday, interspersed with 3 days of minimal service. mean travel, misery for millions that kind of disruption is just ridiculous. everyone knows well paid. i was a journey coming from target and i was supposed to take the twin to swap out the comments on 4 types was fine by now going to 7. just going to take me very,

very long journey because we wanted to march and everybody like message on the group that is heavy traffic on the road just to let the only around 20 percent of the normal services running and only on half of the network, mainly the lines running into big cities in many, rural and regional areas. there is no train service at all. the dispute between the r m t rel union and the employers network rail and the train operating companies is largely of a pay and the impact of inflation on work is wages. but the government, which directly finance is network rail, has also ordered it to find 2 and a half $1000000000.00 of savings. network rail says that's possible if staff accept new working practices. but the union says that will mean $3000.00 job losses and jeopardize safety. they want to rip up our terms and conditions that we've negotiated with the companies. they're even threatening to lower pay an extend work

hours in the train operating companies. and the majority of our members have not had a pay increase for 2 to 3 years. so we've got a lot of problems. we will continue to do all we can to find that sweet spot to compromise, but it's affordable for, for the employers, implausible, for the taxpayer. affordable for the fire fire. and the are empty and our employees can live with at his regular meeting of cabinets, prime minister boris johnson, branded the strikes is unnecessary and wrong. he called on the british public to stay the course during what's expected to be a lengthy disruption. u. k. economy is experiencing the combined effects of rex it to war and ukraine and its effect on energy costs, as well as the inflationary pressure of the post pandemic recovery. and railway is not the only ones complaining. the r m. p is one of britain's strongest union. some might say, most militants have unions with their ability to paralyze the rail network during an industrial dispute. but the concerns that the r n t have race about the

difference between peoples pay packets and the cost of living at the moment. the rate of inflation shared across many different industries and other professions teachers, doctors, nurses, local government workers, all have pay deals in the pipeline with the government and they're likely to be offered less than the rate of inflation. and that means a summer of discontent is looming, poll brennan, i'll just era waterloo station or russian territory in the baltics is a new source of tension between moscow and the e. u over ukraine, russia threatened lithuania with serious consequences, out of it. stop transporting some sanction goods by rail to collision grad. now many cane has more from the german capital berlin. this is the main port in colleen in grat. it's facilities are important to the russian economy. for this is the only all year round ice free port, the country has on the baltic sea. many products essential for the local population in the russian exclaimed, come by sea, but many more come by land and are now being stopped. and if people in the stalls

are to be believed, e u sanctions are hurting christner. it's a story. i think we should pack up our belongings and leave because you can't go anywhere. this has never happened. i think not only me how many people are planning it now or even regretting that they are living in cleaning garage, reaching out to you. those sanctions target specific items that transit you territory, in this case fire rail through lithuania, to and from russia that sanctioned goods, e, steel, and other arg was made from iraq law will no longer be allowed to transit's early train. it is done with consultations for the european european commissions and under the european commission guidelines. in many ways, claiming grad is a historical anomaly once part of what was called east prussia, but taken by the soviet union from nazi germany at the end of world war 2, then became part of the wider you ssr. but when that country died in the early 19

ninety's, the russian federation chose to hold on to coline grad. and so it became an exclaim, separated from russia proper by the newly independent baltic states. which helps explain why officials in moscow are so agitated by the impact of sanctions. and have warned the people of lithuania to expect retaliation for their government's actions at that premium package. this example shows that you cannot trust either verbal statements by the west or written ones. no, russia will certainly respond to such hostile actions and appropriate measures are being worked out between departments and will be taken in the near future. their consequences will have a serious negative impact on the population of lithuania. well it's a threat. some lithuanians have long anticipated baltic countries differently from many other countries of european union. didn't have any illusions about that rule or attempts, and they d, as so fracture a threat to one or all of the baltic states would constitute

a threat to nato. many in the atlantic alliance maintain an armed presence there. this was the german chancellor visiting his country soldiers in lithuania, just 2 weeks ago. like many other european leaders, olaf shots says his country will defend every centimeter of nato territory. dorner kane al jazeera berlin. russia's president says he's planning to fully modernize the military. vladimir putin says it's in response to growing threats from outside . the country. plans include making rushes ground troops more combat effective for future conflicts. ministers and israel's outgoing government. a vine to prevent a comeback by former prime minister. benjamin netanyahu. come leader, natalie bell. it's fragile. coalition. announced on monday that parliament is going to be dissolved and it means that israel can soon expect its 5th election and less than 4 years banded. smith has more from west to islam for

a year. benjamin netanyahu has been working to bring down the coalition that acid him from power, and he's managed it by blocking the normally automatic renewal of a bill that extends israeli law into the settlements. now netanyahu sees a path back to the prime minister's office. luke, of him, of who i intend to form a strong national, steady government. i think the atmosphere change so i can feel it any more. i hear from the people that we now want to will change. we want to return the state of israel's to the place to service and i intend to do it together with my friends. the outgoing 8th party coalition was the most unusual, and his railey history made up the hard right. liberals on palestinian israelis from the arab list, they came together to get rid of netanyahu. but they claim other achieve. i must say that them saw that because the government was a pretty good government. was corporation between ops and jewish. the present,

the 15 the commission was a very good minister, especially hired man, a national corporation. and when i think that this government to was very good for the citizens. i just whole suggest benjamin netanyahu. quote, when 60 of the $120.00 seats up for grabs in the classes, the election won't be held until towards the end of october. until then. yeah, la p. israel's intern products. the palestinian health ministry says a palestinian man was killed when he was stabbed in the heart. find his really saddler in the occupied west bank. witnesses say ali hob who was working on his land when a group of settlers attacked him. international charity group ox fans holding an exhibition in garza patrolling the impact of 15 years of israel's blockade of the strip. 15 artists born and raised in garza among those taking part una, i'll try it as they're sent this report. 15 china garza under the hash tag,

but i can't, we've just did this in here today, many green future plan with living really. ah, this is all just here. these are the top stories, the us senate voted in favor of considering a bill that will toughen gun laws. the compromised bill was presented by republicans and democrats, but the falls well short of this.
