will take over until a new government is formed. natalie bennett has sub just one year and office and said he will not stand for the upcoming elections. let's go straight to buttons smith, who's my 1st in west jerusalem. and this vote has just taken place. talk us through the significance well, you know, 20 analysts in israel and this is all about benjamin netanyahu, former prime minister for 12 years before the outgoing coalition ousted him from power just over a year ago. he's been trying to get his job back ever since he successfully engineered the collapse of this collision. a very unusual coalition made up of the hard right liberals for the 1st time ever in israel palestinian israelis involved in the government. he brought it down by engineering the refusal refusal to renew a law that extended israeli law into the settlers in the occupied west bank. by

doing that, the government has collapsed precipitating these elections. netanyahu wants his job back, and he says he's going to win this next election, which is scheduled for the 1st of november. and remind us all the control the sea around benjamin netanyahu is the realistically going to be able to get his job back given or that still going on. while he's currently on trial for corruption charges he denies and the hope is amongst him and his support is that by being prime minister again, he can delay or somehow bring an end to the trial. he remains individually popular people see him as potentially good prime minister, 46 percent of his railey seem as a potentially good prime minister. they might not necessarily like him, but like what he does as prime minister. yeah. i lactaid who will really be the main contender against him. he's got about 15 percent support and 15 percent of the

population. see him as prime minister. prime ministerial material is gone for months, therefore, to prove it worth to try and show he's better suited to the job. the netanyahu netanyahu's la coud party just had an edge in the polls about 46. they might win the most of the seats, but not quite enough seats to command an overall majority. so you could yet have another election after want to november. israel could go through more instability as they try and find a stable governing coalition. okay, thank you for that. bennett smith for us in west jerusalem was, goes in spanish capital madrid now, where leaders happen arriving to the final day of the nato summit. i said to hold further, high level talks off to proving a new shot sheet in the face of the war and ukraine. they promise unwavering support for the country designated russia. the most significant and direct threat president joe biden has announced a permanent army base in poland. the fuss,

territory. that is now creating threats for us to me. it's obvious what they don't understand that everything was going fine between us. but now there will be tensions. this is obvious, an inevitable. i repeat, if they pose a threat to us. let's go as straight to james bay's our diplomatic editor james. it's been quite an eventful as some and today's the last day talk through the highlights of the last few days. yeah, often you turn off at the summit and there's lots of strong words, but not much real action. this is the exception to that. we have seen some very important developments with regard to nato, the size of nato, the scope of nato. we have seen nato put more forces to its eastern flight to the countries the closest to russia. we've also seen potentially soon. it's not actually happened yet to new members of nato going from 30 to 32 in the alliance.

we are now all 5 naughty countries since i knew that this historic so the move from sweden and finland breaking out of a status or not being they don't members came from the invasion in ukraine. and i think it's really led to a big change in their thinking. but nato, it's a safe place to go. and now the nordics will have a common approach, an opportunity to also shape discussions in nato, from an older perspective than or decrease from the threatened non we are like minded on basic security issues. how we did with cooperation. and i'm pleased to see that, you know, we have have deepened cooperation with sweden and finland unsecured down the fence over the last years. but inside, now that we can do that in a more comprehensive way, some interesting comments to from prime minister ga store on how this more war might. and what are the prospects when negotiation right now between ukraine and russia will bring you more of the interview in the coming hours. but also i asked

him about recent threats from russia. retaliatory action. this can send small bod in the very north of norway, unoccupied. the go back, which has had a long time to treat you know, way with russia. so they could still be russian settlements. that have been that for very many years on the island and rushes now sang since the invasion of ukraine . that no way blocking the resupply of those settlements, he says he completely rebuffs. those claim also in the last 24 hours has been a cyber attack on some norwegian institutions played by a pro russian group. the norwegian prime minister telling me that it was not very serious that attack, but it shows the need for all nato countries to be prepared. are interesting diplomatic editor james base there for us in madrid. thank he ow since rushes invasion of ukraine 4 months ago getting information about life in russian occupied regions has become increasingly difficult. but it was distance movement is

places like poland and the baltic states ease down thanks to this wet weather that's gonna work in. we have a look at the 3 day. we're going to see lots of sunshine back in by sunday. i saw air with visual airline, the journey join the debate. wonderful as it is that the pull magic language, it really means nothing on the ground on it or online at your voice queen is be removed as interesting because she's done absolutely nothing. what these countries white man, where's the progress i haven't seen in a free? so i do see sports journalist. i look like me if you need to listen to those voice perspectives, even when it's hard. when kowager some of our foundational thinking, this dream on out is era lou?

oh okay, back you watching out? is there a reminder of our top story? is this, our israel has voted to dissolve its parliament, sending the country to the polls for the 5th time in 4 years. elections has been set for november, the 1st or in 5 minutes. the year you let people take over until a new government is formed. is have been arriving for the final day of the nita summit in the spanish capital, madrid you looking at my pages that are sent to hold of a high level to softer proving a new strategy for russia's invasion. ukraine. chinese president eugene ping has just arrived in hong kong for a 2 day visit to month. the 25th anniversary of its handover from the united kingdom to mainland china. the territory has imposed heightened security measures

and force guests attending the celebrations to quarantine ahead of gee's arrival. it is the 1st time he has left the mainland since the beginning of the pandemic. let's go to adrian brown, who is live for us in hong kong. so how significant is this trip given it's? she's a 1st trip outside of china since it began well, it's very powerful symbolism. the chinese president arrived to the west calhoun station, very close to where i am at the moment, within the past hour, accompanied by his wife. and as you rightly pointed out in your introduction, it's the 1st time that cheating thing has stepped out of mainland china in 2 and a half years. and the 1st time he's been to hong kong in 5 years. and of course, an awful lot has happened in the city since then in a short address at the station president shooting, paying, actually referred to. i think the protests in 2019 he said that hong kong had been

through a very difficult period. i've been very concerned about hong kong, but hong kong he said that overcome the serious test and now being reborn. so i think the thrust of his message during his brief visit here in on kong is going to be the stupidity has returned to hong kong and the prosperity can also return. he also quoted a chinese proverb. he said that the future is bright. those who won't quit the long war for the president has a bit of walking to do this afternoon. he's going to the nearby science park and then later on he is supposed to go to government house to attend the banquet in his, on a being given by carrie lamb, the outgoing chief executive of hong kong. so yes, a day of powerful symbolism and the city is adorned with, with banners and flags with a very strong patry arctic theme. and the theme, i think the lines all of that is basically china is back in control once more. and

carry alarm is out, and john lee will be a hong kong new lead to tell us a bit about him. he's the man who led that crack down on the pro moxy protests a few years back. so what, what do we expect from him going forward? well, john lee is a former policeman, as well as a security minister. his whole career has been rooted in security. and i think that's a reflection of why china wanted him to be the next chief executive. remember, john lee won an election in which he was the only candidate he faces many challenges, i think not just security, but also things like, mundane issues like like housing here in hong kong. you know, you see this spectacular skyline behind me, but it conceals some very serious social problems here and, and housing is right at the top of the list. this is not going to be a chief executive who's going to be expanding democracy here in hong kong. that's not going to be happening any time soon. china's control here is tightening all the

time. the mood very different to body was when president she was last year in 2017 . this is a place where the voices of descent are being crushed and it's a place i think where the control of the mainland is going to get tighter and tighter in the years ahead. as hong kong slowly becomes, instead of an international city, much more of a chinese international city. i drew brown there for us in hong kong. thank you. ferdinand mall coast junior has been sworn in as president of the philippines. he is the son of a former president many regard as a dictator. marcus won a landslide victory in the elections and may with help from his running mate. sorry to test a who is the daughter of the outgoing leader. marcos has promised to tackle inflation and boost economic growth. jamila target isn't millette manella, she has more on the integration. you see now the reason it's quite different. it

was a bit more grand. and those of us, we did a, we had more parade, more pop than usual, but that was slowly. you know, we neutralized became much more sober speech where he basically reached out to the public to the country or reconciliation. it's been a deeply divisive election election. and he said, even go during the campaign, he did not say much. he intends to live up to all of his promises within the next year. it's quite spectacular. i mean, the marcus resurgence really is a product of decades. a well funded, well orchestrated campaign to revise history and in this year's election. what happened is his massive machinery of online propaganda, including myth making, coupled with his own families, vast wealth and his alliance with it. there to really be the way for his presidency . i mean, it's shocking for many of the global audience, but it's something that's been built over the years. i mean,

there is no way that the opposition was able to, going to come up and fight against this massive maturity of the march of campaign. 31000000 votes unprecedented since the 960 now at least 6 people have been killed in landslides, in the northeast indian state of money. poor dozens more are missing. emergency services or at the scene on the local government says rescue operation is on the way. the deborah has blocked the regions as the river and the local governments warning it could bust its banks. it's all snapped by villages to evacuate. foreign temperatures have continued for 5th day in japan with the capital recording its hottest ever heat waves since reco. it's began the government's asking people to take measures to reduce the impact on the electricity grid. for nick illegal has more scorching heat and record high temperatures. no respite yet for people in tokyo, as meteorologist say,

the heat wave is set to continue into july. at a time when japan is usually experiencing it's rainy season. on top of this, japan's power supply grid is under such strain that the government phase it may not cope and allows people to save energy. move with it. if we knew the electricity demand would go up, so authority should have taken measures more swiftly, but they didn't do anything until it got really hot. and i don't know, there are things we can do to save energy, but some things we can't, you know, must advance at van. they are at them. we're told to save energy with the heat could also put people's lives at risk. but it's a difficult situation. but i want to cooperate and be part of efforts to save energy workers. they not the hundreds of people have been taken to hospital for heat stroke. japan's prime minister for me okey she, they had said he would do his utmost to secure enough energy for the country by making use of its nuclear power capabilities. it's no guarantee. most of japan's

nuclear plants have stopped production since the 2011 tsunami. that triggered the fukushima nuclear plant accident. this heat wave comes less than 2 weeks before a national election. high of voters concerns the price of electricity and according to opinion polls, an issue causing a dip and key. she does approval ratings. quite often gore or muscle and while people wait for the temperature to drop, they're doing all they can to stay cool. sonic imo al jazeera australia has declared a civil state of emergency alta several villages in the south were cut off by mud slides and heavy flooding. lease one person has died. another is missing. several people were trapped in their homes and had to be airlifted to safety. a french court has found 19 people guilty of terrorism related charges in connection with
