6:04 pm
the most white wing, our government in israel history has just been sworn in. tell us about what's been happening today and the reactions there. right very well, this has been in the making for almost 2 months and it's quite a victory for benjamin netanyahu. he's the longest serving prime minister in israeli history. but to get this far, he had to partner up with a coalition which is a mix of an ultra orthodox and right wing block. and these are the most right wing politicians. we seen there was some points on the fringes of politics. and now here they are on the main stage to get here though, there was an agreement made that they would pass several new laws of been given law, their renewal and march. nor was some of the laws that were passed through the last 48 hours. marathon of getting these decisions through these decisions are mixing things up. it means that someone like bank of their who has also has, has
6:05 pm
a conviction of racism is now going to have an unprecedented power over the police . for example, there is a law that has been looking into which is to undermine in the way the supreme court, if a law is put down by the supreme court, they can bring that by. this means that a lot of politicians, including benjamin netanyahu, if they have any convictions or for him in his example, he's on trial for corruption case. it means that gives them that power. now even though local we've spoken to has said yes, processes, democratic to get to this place, they are very deeply concerned of. some of the laws have been put through. and the question is, what happens next? no, indeed, what happens next? we have seen protests outside the method today as this government was being for name. tell us about their agenda now and the priorities for this new coalition well, on. it's a mistake level. nathaniel, who had a tackle all of his successes,
6:06 pm
i mean, 12 years in power. he spoke about one of the biggest things which is the abraham mccord which was signed in 2020. and that's the normalization of relations between israel and some of the other countries in the region. you have morocco, for example, the you eat the jordanian king abdullah. the 2nd has recently said that that comes with 1st criteria, which is the palestinians that they should have a freedom. they should be peace and to stop the expansion of illegal settlements in the west bank as well as the rest of the country. and yet, despite that nation, yahoo and in the, in the government yesterday, that policy was about the expansion of the spectrum. and then there seems to be no turning or no trans, rather pulling back. and they're just going to keep fixed and expanding another talk thing on the prior to financing, which has always been, be in his bonnet, which we've seen during his time in power. i was seeing this again and he
6:07 pm
highlighted this is iran. he will do everything you knew how to iran progressing in any way with you as a nuclear power. so these are some of the big topics that are being discussed on the international level. you know, there's a huge, curious science for, especially in the u. s. a. lot of there's been a lot of conversations going on over there amongst jewish leaders, that they all it concerns if you like the long sec to the jews living abroad as well as within 5 to here. and these are some of the main concerns at the sweeping powers that they will have potentially over the judiciary over the police. and nothing else has been very much a supporter of expanding with these settlements, which by the way is against international laws and conventions. sarah, thank you for that. hi, roger, lived there in west jerusalem, while the leader of the palestinian group, hamas which governs the gaza strip, has warned that israel's new coalition government will trigger what he calls,
6:08 pm
major unrest middle other hundreds. and it's clear that today with facing a new zine of government, the most extreme terrorist racist and fascist government, the policies that clearly escalate the aggression against what we hold sacred people and palestinian land. this opens the way to real escalation on the ground in all arenas, and you now side has more from gas, according to hamas senior political re leader has a 100 who has spoken to jazeera today. we asked him about thomas's reaction, and he said that henry considers no question. this is really government to be a right, an extreme right wing, hostile government that adopts a lot of truman a plans, ideas and measures to words are the, are the existence of a b, a is railey occupation in the palestinian lands. he says that they are going to be
6:09 pm
reinforcing this occupation through the confiscation of more lads, durgy dicing of jerusalem, and the settlements that are being annexing different parts of the occupied west banks and further settlements in them. he also said that the commerce expects the international law to show its position a clear position towards this extreme, eas, railey government, and not to provide political or our support political support or cover to this extreme government and on their part as, as it had said, that her mass is going to be monitoring every major taken by this is really government and all confrontations or are hostile. that would be on the policy and people, whether in the gaza strip or in the west bank and will be watching closely and will
6:10 pm
be a forcefully in front of any aggression towards the policy and people. as you've heard the new is really government is promising to prioritize the expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem need a brain as more from the occupied rest back on the ground. the israeli supplement expansion has never stopped. this illegal is ready supplement of magdalena has been inching closer towards palestinian homes hidden closer, a village in the north of the occupied west bank. and while palestinians fear that the new government is going to be green lighting more and more illegal is really supplements here in the west bank. the fear that their homes are going to be demolished to allow for a settlement to mushroom beta. how cool is the new government or not? it doesn't matter. the difference is that this one is more blunt. the previous government would implement plans on the ground and consider the west bank as israel
6:11 pm
land, but wouldn't advertise it. so they sounded more peaceful to the world. the construction you can hear behind me is happening in a settlement outpost. now of course, all supplements are considered illegal under international law, but those outposts are usually unrecognised by the israeli government. it's senior as a way for settlers to impose a staff to school on the ground, but from experience they usually get retro actively recognized. and this is what we are expecting in this new government. and the danger of these outposts, they are in the middle of palestinian villages and inherited by violence, settlers known as price tag criminal groups. all of this is happening because the world is staying silent. i fell asleep means of worn for decades. that is really start lens and the network of roads and infrastructure associated with them. amount to silent and exception. and was the international community is still committed to a 2 state solution, palestinian. see that there are no lands left for them to build
6:12 pm
a state on or let's take a closer look at those settlements now about 700000 israelis live in more than 350 of them build on occupied palestinian land as, according to the palestine liberation organization, this elements are illegal under international law, but 189 have been authorized by israel. they are also around a $170.00, so called out pulse. these are also illegal under israeli law, but they are protected by its army and the new far i coalition government has place to legalize dozens of them. there is now speak to mohammed dilate, who is the founder and head of mohammed daily and associates, a law firm practicing in these really and palestinian legal system. thank you very much for joining us there from aki bodies through islam i. so selma and expansion, as we've heard, is at the top of the list of priorities for, for this new israeli government. how far do you think it will go with the annexations and expansions?
6:13 pm
although they might not use the nutrition immediately? what would be, what the, what the government will do, all the expanding or supplements, especially in various took a barrier such as he brawn and other in the north back as you might remember, after the so called this engagement. glad as they can be in 2005 in the north and goes back. there were some set them in one of the globe enable all amish. that was dismantled. prevent it from going. now they want to change that, but a lot that prevent me from going into those land and they want to refill that invest area. so we are talking about expanding everyone in those banks, right? 15 facts on the re b, i'm not sure they are. that's stupid. to make any of those bank immediately after
6:14 pm
the very end of the government, they are today some 2500000 palestinians who live in the west bank and have their movement severely restricted already. what would any further expansion mean for the political and legal status of the west bank and what legal recourse to palestinians have? probably the best achievement that feed undercoat, the chief, the recent years was that ignition of palestine emissions after that, joining money problems prevention mentions including that loan prevention, which is that convention that established that criminal court. now we know that there are 2 actions that are taking face, one of the ip j, just this one to get another legal opinion from the ip j
6:15 pm
above different videos. occupational goes back. if that ended up being a lender by the insurance, just to say that this continuous vision is that bad. the fact station, which means it's a war trying international humanitarian little that that might become that legal basis for future actions will be picking a date. is the decision makers, whether the governments or the military with them that has been a national criminal court system, is that that be that will change that route to the game. we know that some of israel's allies have already express concern the european union, for example, doesn't recognize the israel sovereignty over the golan heights, has been talk of israel also annexing the golan heights. what do you think this, this new coalition government and whatever it does? what impact could it have with onto, in terms of the,
6:16 pm
the ties relationship with it finalized like the european union and the u. s. and do you think the more there's more that the international community can do beyond words of condemnation? definitely there's more to be done on behalf of international community is, is dependent on the legitimacy and the support that it gets, especially programs. but also from the with the pm. the union is considered one of the 6 countries of the b is that it's very content about in the international going to be and therefore event for national community, especially united states and europe started as a shift in the relationship. where does that start tree think it should be treated as a part of the way africa was? is that has been portrayed depicted by many organizations,
6:17 pm
including interest and internationally, including professional human rights. we're going to vision that it is actually going to be with this new governance that case against says type is clearer, and therefore it is expected that the international community will change its policies and fitting a boy. it will, it will have no event as our country that violates national law, that it should be accounted mesa mohammed died a thank you so much for talking to us and i'll just hear supermarket fennimore had on this news. our including italy, increase his pressure on the european union to impose grown of ice checks on travelers from china. because of all main border crossing with serbia reopen says both sides, fit buy from confrontation,

6:25 pm
a presence of a special unit, of course of a police in the not possible. so when a voltage was here last night and he convinced them that a guarantees that serbia got from the us and the european union meet exactly that. so they agreed to remove the barricades. but the read these sent a clear message that if any of any serve a will be arrest, or if therapy and recognize the independence of course, civil barricades will be returned and this time for good. well let's get an update nice from our correspondent, impressed scenery. so say die resort, so some barricades have started to come down. tell us about the reaction from the government in gospel 1st. well, the crossover notorious. he is in the government here. they are welcome and is
6:26 pm
mover and they are. but on the other hand, there are quite cautiously optimistic desert that for a lost in peace, serbia needs to respect the territorial integrity of course, a war and his sovereignty as well. and also eventually recognize the corso as an independent state. there also ask in serbia to stop block in the accession, accession off of kosovo to the international organization. but as of now this, the did, the battery keys are partially being removed. some of the roads are now being opened and also the serbian government is pulling back a majority of which troops. dad has deployed a couple of days ago to the board there. so it's the reason the number's off the troops there. so these are the move, the steps that are welcomed in across all by the or tortillas. however, as the distribution here is still quite fragile and any time it could re, escalade,

6:38 pm
food prices. it's motley, driven by the war in ukraine. but even before that economy and currency were in free fall is in a harder explains from bay worked many lebanese now use motorcycle. and the absence of a well organized public transport system and the rise in global fuel prices. it's the most affordable way to get around the sharp. the valuation of the local currency has made the situation worse. a tank of fuel costs more than the minimum wage, which used to be the equivalent of $450.00. now, it's not even worth $20.00. basic necessities are out of reach for many, especially since the nearly bankrupt state lifted subsidies on food and medicine. last year. maricela maria, let us know work. we try to sell whatever we can so that we can eat and drink. life is unbearable. authorities blame global inflation and the fall out from russia's
6:39 pm
invasion of ukraine, but lebanon also has its own problems. while we have an unpleasant living on the 160 percent as for recent figures, so you have 90 percent related to the been use inflation while 10 percent maybe related to the word by the patient. this is mainly because of the color of the, of any form we have been printing just to cover for the government expenses. the government is hoping to increase revenues by hiking customs taxes. but economists warn the decision will cause a 5 to 10 percent spike in inflation in a country that relies heavily on imports. food prices have already increased by 700 percent since $21911.00 on is one of the countries worth affected by the rise and global food prices. according to the world bank, it is 2nd,
6:40 pm
the only system bob boyd. the situation has deteriorated so much that the world food program says it is planning to feed up to 2000000 people. that's a 3rd of the population, including $1000000.00 refugees from syria. other agencies say they now provide cash assistance instead of focusing on development. a lot of families are not having to or female per day anymore. so having only one mean per day to be able to afford this one me and per day they have to sacrifice orders or it means they can not access health care. an estimated 15 to 30 percent of families receive help from relatives abroad. nearly $7000000000.00 entered the country this year, but just does little to address a crisis that has already made for out of every 5 lebanese poor santa who. they're just, you know, they route now as inflation continues to rise, in most cases, it's the war who pay the biggest price. the cost of living increased by slightly
