11:03 am
as you'll see, people are arriving protesters. people opposed to this judicial overhaul for what's expected to be a large demonstration near the connecticut. we're also told later today that members of us supporters rather of the government and in favor of this judicial overhaul, are also expected to protest here near the connecticut, it is unclear is that is going to create clashes and difficulties on the ground. what we do know is that the conversation has shifted since netanyahu ousted defense minister jo ann gallant. the conversation has shifted from hitting the pause button on this judicial overhaul package. one of the most controversial policies in is really history to now some people calling for the removal of prime minister netanyahu. you have a former prime minister, a who barrack calling for netanyahu's removal. you have a member of the go governing coalition avatar lieberman saying that it is time for
11:04 am
netanyahu to step down and for another prime minister to be selected within the lagoon party. so what you're seeing are fishers within the governing coalition and deepening of the divisions within the coalition. we started as the early this morning after the news broke. concerned senior members of the governing coalition saying that they were in complete shock, that netanyahu had fired gallons, that they thought that netanyahu had made a strategic mistake. and now you're hearing that some people within the governing collect coalition. believe that this judicial overhaul needs to be suspended and that's what the removal of goliath was allegedly about. the lot had said for the sake of the country for preserving national security, hit the pause button on this judicial overhaul for about a month until after the pass over holiday and the independence holiday ends in late april. but there's simply been no room for ca, promises,
11:05 am
or negotiation with netanyahu and his governing coalition. and that has brought us here to this moment. as you said, he was expected. prime minister netanyahu was expected to make a statement to the country that has been also paused at the moment. well, the only thing we have heard from netanyahu so far was the tweet early this morning, saying that we must stand up strongly against the refusals. we've also heard that the ip port him has being close to punches from the if would have been halted. what more can you tell us about that and, and those strikes, i'm just going to escalate further to other industries. well, you mentioned the airport coming to operations. they were coming to a standstill at ben gray on airport in tel aviv. this should give you an indication again of the fisher's within the supporters of the government. the head of the union at the airport is actually a le cood member. we have
11:06 am
a strike to day across many sectors of israeli society. there are strikes among high school middle school university students. there are doctors that have called in sick. so as you can see, this has impacted israelis greatly. they have been for months making their voices heard those who oppose this traditional overhaul, saying that they believe that it's a reach and over reach by knitting out whose government they're concerned. that by giving this is what the judicial reform would include by giving more power to the government to select supreme court court justices. and to override decisions that the governor or the supreme court makes regarding legislation that it will remove a necessary check on power for a branch of government. and i should mention, as we're waiting for netanyahu to speak as rumors are swirling that, perhaps he's ready to compromise and hit the pause button on this judicial reform. the constitution law and justice committee met this morning and they did approve
11:07 am
a law that would now allow the government to have an ultimate se in who sits on the supreme court. okay, thank you very much for that update this natasha. can i'm a for us and wisc jerusalem will no doubt be talking to you throughout the day. then let's bring in political analysts to cuba, alto. he joins us from television. thank you again for being on al jazeera. it's been described as a crisis and is royal. how would you describe what's going on in the last few hours there? ashley, this is across as a sin sal netanyahu's decision to outfit dog garland. who is one of the year members of his political family. he's not just another member of kinessa or another minister. he was there standing behind it and you know, in court with a mass during the growing up period,
11:08 am
supporting him when he made those very controversial statements against the is ready, judiciary. and you can not accuse him of being so called anarchist. and i can say that nathaniel's career has been built up by oh, ways on both fear and hatred of the other. and now nathaniel became the other and you don't see his oldest in the streets that he is very lonely. he is losing guy. he's a party and he will probably lose his coalition because he's now cornered by he's right. doing extra loud right wing party bang greer, trauma terrorist. and he will have to choose between keeping really good together. oh, keeping the collision together and what we used to say,
11:09 am
unprecedented situation, i think even unprecedented is not what it used to be in is wow, what do you think he will cherish? you say he's got a choice which why do you think he is going to go when he eventually does make an announcement at some point today? when all he couldn't do a few days ago to agree on time out and sit with the opposition and go to the president and discuss you know, how to gain some more time. this is irrelevant today. know they are the opposition and the people in the streets are demanding to shows all the legislation of that now in the pipeline. so he may have to lose not only bank via and the radical religious, right, but also his minister of justice. and i am not sure if he knows what's the best for
11:10 am
him because we have to keep in mind that the court is also waiting for him. and if he doesn't pass those personal legislation, amendments of the law the, the judges and the supreme court that will eventually have to deal with his case. and that he wanted to change and brit and put in his supporters of people from the radical right. now this is not going to happen. so i think that he has to think about his place in history right now. if you read b a or b, remember this is wes good thing. oh, no brain minister who brought us the air brown records and it is a very intelligent human being and i really feel sorry for it. i think it will have to leave it there. but turn that out will be speaking to you throughout the day as
11:11 am
well. that's political, endless to keep elder from television. thank you. well, to other news hand, public transport strike is underway in germany air rail and bus services of ground to a halt, causing massive disruption to the morning commute. it's the biggest war count in 30 years, part of a long running wedge dispute. unions are deadlocked in negotiations with public transport and poise. dominic cane is live and berlin for us, and obviously it is a huge disruption. i mean, his country just basically ground to a halt at this point. well, it's monday morning here in berlin, just gone 10 o'clock and i'm standing in the main central station to help find wolf over my shoulder. you can see what would normally the arrivals for they call it what you would normally see that is many, many different train from numbers because that's well a long distance train and also regional commuter trains would appear bringing people to and from this facial there are none because all long distance trains
11:12 am
across the entire country have been cancelled, and the regional train servicing berlin will be happening either the same thing goes for much of the country over my other shoulder. you can see here this white board is explaining what passengers right far because of this strike. but also interestingly explaining that some services are still operating. so if you're in berlin, you can use that on the underground. you can use buses, you can use trans, but the main long distance train that work regional train that. so networks are pretty much paralyzed. the reason for all this is because the unions in question on demanding pay rises of between $10.00 and a half percent. and $0.12. okay, what's the response been from the, the government to the strikes? the interesting thing here is that from a governmental perspective, you have
11:13 am
a willingness to try to feel people's pain. and yet, the central accusation against ministers is that they're not as it were fronting up . they are not making the sorts of offers to the relevant unions that might persuade them and their members not to go on strike. there is very clearly a feeling in this country among many different people in society, but inflation is really been cutting into their budgets and they want ministers to do something about this. but so far, at least from a central governmental perspective, that doesn't seem to be the impetus from them to try and bring the 2 different sides in this industrial dispute together. okay, there is dominant, came for us in berlin. thank you. a search in recovery cruiser digging through flattened homes and the southern you were state of mississippi after fridays tornadoes, at least 25 people were killed and dozens injured. ellen fisher reports ruthlessly

11:15 am
the volunteers that are here. what we've seen over the last 36 hours in mississippi, on the one hand, has been heartbreaking to say the law and devastation of these communities. but another hand has been inspiring. tornadoes have always been a problem in this part of the country. there's nothing to indicate they're getting stronger or there's more of them. but one top us official says areas like mississippi have to be built to be more resilient. we seeing extreme weather events increasing only increasing in gravity in severity and infrequency. and we have to build our communities to be best prepared for them to prevent the devastation, to the extent possible, to be able to quickly respond and recover to prove ourselves. rich brazilian,
