wednesday, more than a 100 form, it is really diplomats and ambassadors signed a let her warning of damage to israel's international reputation. ah, on protest is opposed to the new government rally that side. israel's parliament, the kinessa netanyahu's party, said it will pursue expansion of settlements in the occupied west bank despite it being a violation of international law. this commitment is raising fears of an escalation intention with palestinians. we come to demonstrate against a government that it may be legal but not legitimate. a government that wants to break down israel as democracy after the law that they're planning to pass. israel will continue to exist, but not as a democracy. i get involved almost a week ago for the government to go about to rise up in the room. horrible

government. local criminals are shipping no wish to destroy these what a democracy. campbell demo source because the new government says settlement expansion only occupied westbank is top of its list of priorities. it says it will legalize illegally built, i post an annex occupied territory. the coalition agreement also includes a promise to and i businesses to refuse service based on religious belief. it's thought this could be used to deny medical services to l g b to to people the when netanyahu says he will not pass the law. but he does want to overhaul the legal system with a bill that would allow parliament to overturn supreme court decisions on a simple majority of $61.00 members was sorry, carrot has more now from western iceland. he's the longest, subbing prime minister in israeli history. but to get this fall, he had to partner up with a coalition which is a mix of an ultra orthodox and right wing blog. and these are the most right wing

politicians. we seeing there was some points on the fringes of politics and now he, they are on the main stage to get his. there was an agreement made that they would pass several new laws been given all their renewal and smart, you know, with some of the loads that were passed through the last 48 hours morrison of getting these decisions through these decisions, mixing things up. it means that someone like ben cafe, who has also has, has a conviction of racism is now going to house, keeping an unprecedented power over the police. for example, there is a law that has been they 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 locals 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? now? a spokesman of the palestinian good hamas which governs the gaza strip as one that israel's new coalition will trigger, quote, major unrest, middle of a 100 and a good job. it's clear that to day with facing a new zionist government, the most extreme, a terrorist, racist and fascist government with policies that clearly escalate the aggression against what we hold sacred our people and our palestinian land. this opens the way to rio escalation on the ground in all arenas. ah, russia has launched one of its biggest waves of missile strikes on ukraine since the sauce of the war. the ukrainian military says air defenses shots, i am 54 of 69 walk. it's launched by russia, but residents were forced to seek shelter on the ground and many within left

who's the head of the non governmental organization, public diplomacy, foreign, dennis a very warm welcome to the program in the midst of windsor and just watching my colleagues piece there is absolutely devastating to see what families are going to . but what's it like for you all has it to some degree become and i use this word cautiously normal to be experiencing the shelling or at least the threats of it. how doesn't matter how hard to say this is really hard to say that this is true. we are used to the shells. we are used to every day as try corums. unfortunately, were of course, getting used to see people giant because of the russian war started back in february. but what we are not used to, and what we will never get used to that russia still trying to be in this war, that they a competitor with territories and with their narrative about identification and all of these, we want to stop this. and of course we want to piece dennis, how are you able to support each other?

i find myself thinking often about what it must be like, particularly when the power goes. i how you are all able to support each other. it's really interesting because russia aimed that uh, with this security controls, they showed that we will see charlotte garment. ok. let's go to new stations with russia. we are tied to stick it off, but actually we are leaving them in better because right now we're thinking wisely about the time we use. we don't use much for theresa he, we speak more with our friends, you know, together in one place because warmer we download fumes in advance. we buying, you know, card games to play. we just try, you know, to, it's really interesting when, for instance, my friends are calling me. oh, i have another 3 says day i how, what are you can come to my place? you can see my place or some. i know your country requires in business or calling you and see you can come at work in my office because we dont have electricity bills. so people do understand that is why i told to keep the economy running up,

it's white, so to keep the speeds up. and everyone, you know, is buying generators. echo falls, starlings, anything to make sure that we're independent of despite and electricity, then it, is there a sense of hope and we saw the other day that the 10 points kind of piece plan. if i can call it that loosely, is there a sense of hope that there will be at some point a resolution to this? i think the only resolution to these is of course ukraine of the 3, or is it by the western wall? and we sure actually have been doing for all the 10 months of the since the beginning of the rush, initials, killing, ration ukraine, and people. if you ask anyone what we will be wishing for you year, of course it's week are your pre pre next year. we see how my sure, our friends and relatives,

they are giving up their widest right now. don bus from clients is a preacher from florida. and of course we can't give up on them. we still support them. we try together as much money as we can for them we send presence to them in different plants. so there is hope there is because of course, and we do know that every war, of course, as with diplomacy, there scans are joining us their life from car cave. dennis, thank you so much. thank you. let's bring you more on our break for news now. the death of brazilian triple legend pele he died of multiple organ failure, resulting from colon cancer. we can now speak to one r and go a latin america football unless he joins us on the phone from florence in italy, a very warm welcome to the program. he was thought of, of course, as a major icon that went just beyond being one of the world's best to go scores.

i think we may have lost our guests. they were, oh, hi. hello. can you hear me? okay, are you ready? yes, very good. i was just saying that please am level of fame. he's a real icon, wasn't he? and of course that went beyond just being one of the world's most famous and arguably the best people in the world. and people had been looking on eagerly, hadn't a wondering about his condition cuz he been in hospital for some time. yes. and not as a matter of fact, what you're saying is true. he wasn't just a football star. he was an ambassador to causes. he was in the movies, you know, he was a person that was embodiment of a lot of things where he came from a where he was able to which what he was able to achieve in brazil. knowing all the racial issues, all of the issues from a political standpoint in the pond that he became in both within a football and a political standpoint. but like you said,

it's the person that really transcended football. because of what he meant, a symbol of hope. the symbol of inspiration to many parts of the world. but keep in mind, brazil used to be a national team that ended up traveling in to places like africa, to places like the caribbean. and were able to really establish an imprint of band in regions like that. and basically brazil became a national team of one of the favorite national teams of those of those regions because of it. and, you know, that would almost tell me, you know, who was greater, married donor, messy. and i said, look without married donna, that wouldn't be an would have been a messy, but i would also with no penalty that would've been no marriage. nose. but you start to see what important you had from that perspective. and again, development, we started getting in the past couple years, especially after you have to cobit and that documentary that came out there really informed us about it. i want to find it really interesting in the recent world cup that we just had. and i'm not a massive football fan myself,

but i just thought it was fascinating to see how far the well wishing went to see the signs up in the stadium to see the stadium. let's up to see how far his influence extended. great. i mean, it's just what less than 10 days ago, 11 days ago, over in cuts are well being part of your work of coverage over here. so i saw it 1st and i saw the fans that were taking well, which is the fairly, you know, these big banners into the stadiums over 974, and many of the other systems that are still played. and so, so one thought 1st 10, but it wasn't just brazil. it was a lot of the african teams that was origin tina, in some cases wishing daily the best and hoping for the best for him and his family so. so yeah, you're right. it was just such an important gesture in such an important, relevant moment for people on the football standpoint to see how influential was and meant and how we impacted people. you know, well,

it was also interesting to see the conversations. do we have the world cup one about, you know, is he the best football or in the world? now i know right now obviously people are going to be thinking of the memory. his influence, you know, the extension of his stars and if you like, but let's just talk about what he was like as a, as a football and what it was like to watch those legs on the pitch. if you like. you know what i remember right now, i'm remembering a quote from a former sent those player who actually did friend that to the soldier. and he would tell me, you know, what made police so great. yes, mary donna was great to get a great left put, but everything done and it was left and they could do with both. and not only that, kelly was not playing in europe, and yet he was one of the best players in the world with one of the best teams in the world. i'm one of the best national teams in the world wasn't european. he and he would go on the long extensive tours into europe, into africa, and he would basically show why he was the best player in the world. in a lot of those situations. i just seeing what there was

a video also that came out showing what things that quite would do that my donna would do the best he would do christian on all that cetera, et cetera. and you saw that taylor was doing it way before them. so he was a player that transcended football or transcended his time. and one of those few that if you made the argument of could you please today, he'd be the one that you know. yeah, absolutely. why don't wrangle, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. well, let's talk notes in monica yanna. care of who joins us live from rio de janeiro. m . hi there, monica. obviously a very sad moment for a brazilian celebrity, but obviously somebody who transcends that who was known across the world. yes. so since he was hospitalized at the alberta thought einstein, a hospital and so follow on, the whole press gathered. there was a scared, a moment when they thought that his death was imminent. it was during the world cup . so we were even, they are all. so are waiting to see what would happen. and finally,

his family said, it is not his time yet. he, they said that he had watched some of the games had even cheered the brazilian national team. and, and as you were also mentioning before, there were of well wishing of people well wishing him throughout the world then and could tar especially um, so we have been waiting because we knew that he had a colon cancer. that it was there was no cure for that. he had stopped treating it because it was in treatable. he had had cove id on 19 and that had brought a lung infection, which in turn led to his hospitalization. he had reacted to that. but unfortunately, the cancer continued and so everybody here was surprised that it was today, but not surprised because we've been waiting for this or for some time now. and this happens at a moment where our brazil is going to just in a couple of days our have, you know, duration of a new president and been there was like a,

a national symbol that everyone agreed with that. for brazilians. he was a, at least the best player that he had a way of playing that nobody that, that was new at the time when he started. um, so yes it is. it is something that it took us by surprise. not so much though. and monica, what does he mean to the brazilian people? i mean, obviously we're going to see an outpouring all over the world because this man meant so much to so many, but in brazil, in particular, what, what does he mean to people? well he was at the time like perhaps one of the very few black people in, in, in brazil that became internationally known arm of brazil. i, half of more than half of the population is black, but it hasn't, it, it has

a very strong heritage from the time of slavery. so, fighting for equal rights has been something that people have been trying to do and not getting, as far as they wished. so far, but so bella was this person, they came from humble origin who was black, who was successful at what he did, playing football and football is a national passion. here in brazil, as in many parts of the world, ah, even a they say they even stopped a war in africa once when he went there to play. there was a ceasefire to watch, one of his games. so he was this. he also stood for, for good causes. so he wasn't a person like, let's say might have lorna that had his his side. that was not a side that many people would want to. i'm not a model role was a role model and she didn't have anything to do with drugs or anything like this on his family at the time some

a couple of weeks ago during the world cup when everybody thought he was going to die at any minute. his family had come out to say that, ah, he was still cheering. he was still cheering the national team and so, so he's always very present to his very last moments. and monica, i'm going to come back to you in a 2nd. i just want to read em just now with tweet that's coming from former england player gandy. linux her and. and he says pelley has died, the most divine of footballers and joyous of man. he played a game. only a few chosen ones have come close to 3 times. he lifted the most coveted gold trough in that beautiful yellow shirt. he may have left us, but he'll always have footballing immortality. r a p. pele, monica. what kind of commemoration do you think that there is likely to be over the coming days?
