joanna roscoe, with the sport tottenham looking for new manager after antonio conte leaves, the club and ukraine play their 1st competitive match in 6 months. but it's england to come out on top in the european qualifier, wembley stadium. ah, thank you very much for joining us. we begin in israel, where prime minister benjamin netanyahu has reportedly told members of his coalition government that he will pause the controversial judicial overhaul and announcement was expected earlier, but has been delayed tensions. piqued on sunday when netanyahu fired the defense minister. you are galant, had spoken out against the proposed changes, the dismissal triggered major demonstrations, which continued into monday. currently, thousands of people are gathered in front of the parliament in west joules slim.
1:03 pm
israel's, mainly, a union has called a nation wide strike. all flights are grounded at ben guion international, airport universities, banks, nursery schools and shops are closed as get the latest with al jazeera natasha go name, who joins us from a protest in west jerusalem. natasha, the level of opposition to the judicial changes increased dramatically after reminiscent at yahoo fire. the defense minister bring us up to speed with the latest on the streets and politically. ah, the ouster of the defense minister only added more fuel, more momentum to the opposition movement. we are near the connecticut and as you can see, the protesters are arriving in droves. the country in a state of paralysis due to a general strike in many sectors of society. and it appears that there is growing momentum within the governing coalition to unite behind netanyahu and paused the judicial overthrow. the economy minister is saying that we must not bring about the
1:04 pm
collapse of this right wing government at our own hands, but there are still doubt the national security minister and controversial figure in tomorrow. been given holidays and there are indications that perhaps he will resign. you were waiting for a president or prime minister netanyahu to address the nation. while we do that, we are joined by barbara who love. he is one of the student protesters. you're running on 2 hours of sleep. you've been protesting for several months. what is the outcome you are hoping for? first of all, this digital overhaul has to stop has to be thrown away from the table, never to be spoken of again. second of all, we've been seeing in the past few days that the person who is responsible to allow this group of extreme is to try to turn the israel into dictatorship. is benjamin. that's an benjamin anthony has to go home. he is responsible for what we're seeing is responsible for the fall out of the society for problems in the security we're
1:05 pm
seeing now for what galum has spoken about in the past few days. and he's trying to make things wars, and he's trying to make his rosy dictatorship. and he, he's responsible. he has to go home alone with this entire traditional reform over home. so you don't agree with netanyahu in the governing coalitions, assertion that this judicial overhaul would create a balance on the courts would actually strengthen democracy. your nonsense, the 1st of all, if you read these laws, you see that they give absolute power for the politicians to over the judiciary. they will choose the judges. they will have the ability to box whatever logo they want, nothing about the strengths in democracy. and we should mention that while we are, this crisis is deepening. that this morning, a committee, a law adjusted committee, actually passed a law that does give the government now absolute control over the selection of supreme court justices. why bar do you think that this particular issue?
1:06 pm
we have seen an outpouring, a israel being why? because i think the people in israel want to live in a democracy which protects civil rights. minority rights. we want better future not to be brought back into dark times. in history, people see that needs to be done by a group of extremists, led by their own interest by dent on y'all's interest to get away from his drive by those extreme, it's interested ernie israel into a country ruled by religious laws. and this is what they're trying to do. the people in israel see that this is not the majority. whatever says this is what the majority wants is line. thank you. so much. bar bar raises an important point. paul show that a majority of israelis actually oppose this judicial overhaul in its current form. i want to mention that the big question is, what is next in terms of who will replace
1:07 pm
a lot. and there's some indications that perhaps a crude party may be reconsidering. let me read you a tweet from a member of a lagoon party a short time ago. he says that there was a confidential committee meeting to look at the impact of these protests on national security this morning. and in light of that information, this member of the lagoon party says he believes now is not the time to replace the defense. ministers, defense minister, or former defense minister. you are. garlic has yet to receive a formal dismissal letter. natasha, thank you very much for that. i did natasha. go named. lie for a say in west jerusalem, where let's take a closer look now at this judicial overhaul. prime minister in it's now 1st table, the proposed changes in january. he says they will balance the supreme court and prevent it from interfering in politics. if approved, they will curve the supreme court authority and increase and peace powers to override court decisions. but many israelis opposed the plans for nearly 3 months,
1:08 pm
tens of thousands of taken to the streets in protest. some demonstrations have been violent. the u. s. and other allies have expressed concern while critics say it's now is trying to limit judicial independence to protect himself from prosecution. when i speak to political analysts, gail hoffman about all this is joining us live from western slim. very good. have you on al jazeera gale? so growing speculation that miss now will suspend these controversial reforms, and we've just heard now from the minister of justice, who said that he would respect any decision that the prime minister makes on the future of this overhaul. what is your take for us and how do you think this is going to play out? while israel's been through a challenging 3 months? now we're very, very divisive in which the strength of israeli democracy was really shown by both sides by the side. that one the election by, by voting with a 70 percent off, and it's recollection of green half years. and by the 200000 people being 13 weeks
1:09 pm
in a row. and now it's over for a little bit. now the asset will leave on its recess. they'll be on months when they're not voting on anything in which the president is a consensus figure and israel will lead compromise talks. and then reforms in the legal system or overall will be passed gradually by consensus. the think it will go ahead even if it's suspended, temporary like 70 percent of israelis or favor of one reformer or another. and it's true that the supreme court has taken powers that it didn't have in the past. and it's true that the supreme court has not been very diverse, and those things will change, but in a way that most of the opposition would agree witness in the alan. now, thinking of the opposition, we've seen tens of thousands taking to the three's a yesterday fontane eslie afternoon. now we'll fire the defense minister. the land
1:10 pm
and this was fontane is once again. perhaps unlike the previous demonstrations we've seen, which were more organized in the past few months, what is unifying israelis today? the people who are taking to the streets, what is unifying them? what unifying them is there a concern for israel's future? they were going out for genuine reasons, you know, not something to take for granted when you had 5 elections. but now we're all about now personally, and not about big issues. they weren't about diplomacy. security economy is certainly worth about the palestinians and their future. and now we see that israelis are back to ideology about deciding the future of what it means to be a jewish state. and them across the state of the same time been making their presence felt their point of view. and that israel should be more democrats can and they want right, in terms of what happens next. politically gale,
1:11 pm
the fractures within the governing coalition are getting wider and it's now is under pressure from from the far right coalition partner, it's a mob been developed to, to continue with this judiciary reforms. is he able to continue today, leading this government seems to have lost control. are we looking at a nother election very soon? finally, there's no doubt in this now is weaker after be going through 3 months approaches. and technically firing is dependent on the as your corresponding pointed out, it, it didn't take effect, didn't actually receive the, the firing letter. but when the message is not a recess, people don't quit. ben beer expressed is opposition there in the room. and then he is view, did not win. and the justice minister now also, as you pointed out there in the report, announced that he's not leaving either, so no one's resigning. they're going to look forward to and now look,
1:12 pm
there will ins after the last for the government and the victory for the opposition of victory for the opposition. in what way galle the look at what's out asked folly. they're about 20 bills. only one of them has been to the law, the law of dealing with incapacitating a prime minister. changing and how we choose our judges and even the ness of the rights override this is by the supreme court weakening the power of the supreme court over prior bills. by the none of that has passed into law. and so in that regard, the captains of the democracy that sometimes the government loses that they see the limitations of their power. and that's what happened here. israel was not a slippery slope and now it's gail. thank you so much for talking to a thank you for sharing of use of a scale. hoffman joining is a line from western m. s. move on to other world is now in a public transport strike is underway in germany. it's the biggest war count in 30
1:13 pm
years. a rail and bus services have ground to a whole causing massive disruptions as part of a long run running wage dispute unions or deadlocked in negotiations with public transport. employees. dummy cane is correspondent in berlin, joins us now live on the use our so how much destruction dominic is a strike cause i'm sorry, in berlin. central station to help on hoof. on any given week day normally maybe 300000. maybe more passengers would come and go through this station on this monday while fraction of class number. because if you look at the departures arrivals fort behind my shoulder, well for much of the last few hours, there's been no trains on his soul. neither is one. the se, traveling to place then at some points will that will travel very few others will vote, and that is obviously having an effect. but here in berlin, but it's
1:14 pm
a national strike. all long distance trains, many regional commuter trains rights around the country have been cancelled over my other shoulder, the white board that well, that shows the rights the passengers have been affected by the strike. the crucially, it also shows the services that are running and here in berlin, that means that the underground rail network and the buses and the trams that they are running. that explains why there are some passengers here. but as i say right across the country, many trains and plains grinders. what are the unions asking for and how is the government responding? you have 2 large unions who have coordinated this strike of action. one wants to pay arise of at least $10.00 and a half percent for its work is its members. the other wants to pay rise of around 12 percent and the management of the organizations who are affected by these
1:15 pm
strikes or they don't want to exceed to those demands. they believe that those demands are not representative and are something that they cannot really be affording to do. the interesting thing is if you look from the more independent perspective as it were, either from one side or the other. so people in charge of the funders, bank, german central bank of appeal to both sides affects me, saying that workers and unions needs and make sensible pay claims. but equally, that large organizations, institutions needs to be careful about the profit margins. they have that they are fair, profit margins. then you have the government at a central level that wants to appeal to people and say we feel your pain economically. and yet isn't per se, offering some kind of intercession that might bring the 2 different sides of this industrial dispute together. domini,
1:16 pm
thank you for that. dominic cain lived there in berlin. ben to moorehead on the news hour, including will tell you how a delay in daylight savings time is causing confusion and chaos in lebanon. were to do would be able to, to what to do with searching for survivors after a massive tornado destroys towns and least doesn't state in the us state of mississippi and tennis world. number one, carlos alcaraz gets another win in miami, as he looks to defend his title action coming up later in schools, which are aah to lebanon 1st, where k take a prime minister nat geo mccarty is to hold a cabinet meeting to discuss his decision to change official daytime hours, that comes a day after that he delayed daylight savings by
1:17 pm
a month. galks will now move forward at the end of the month of april, at the end of the holy month of ramadan in april. but christian authorities in lebanon, se they'll switch to time on the last sunday of march. let's go to xena harder our correspondent in bare wood. so it is in a still no agreement. it seems on what time it is in lebanon. ah, no, currently the country is continuing to observe to different time zones. but as we speak, cabinet is in session, the caretaker prime minister. and as you may, i think, called for this extra ordinary session in order to reduce tensions because he was facing descent from within his administration as well. this decision was taken unilaterally by the prime minister, along with the house be going to be very and that's what really caused this uproar, this opposition. they said that, you know, decisions like this should not be taken outside safe institution. if cabinets had approved this, the council of stores than the country and all the different institutions would
1:18 pm
comply. so following the decision to postpone summer timing for a months, you had many institutions, mainly kristen. kristen are boycotting this decision, and it's really disrupted people's lives. some schools opened according to summer timing, other schools, winter timing, peoples jobs, even the airport. they have to change the flight schedule. but the reason it's not just because this decision was taken unilaterally at the end of the day, this is a country where effects a share power in government and the main post reserve for the christian community. the presidency has been vacant for some time. now, there is a political crisis in this country, felt the christian community feels that muslim leaders were taking their decisions . i, you know, taking decisions on their behalf. so, in a country like lebanon issues usually take on sectarian overtones and really a major political, disparate. but what we are understanding is that the prime minister, as likely, is likely to reverse this decision following this happened the session. okay?
1:19 pm
so political dispute, but as you said, is created a lot of confusion and chaos in a country that's already dealing with one of the world's biggest economic crises. yes, this is what many lebanese people are saying. this as a political are set, can't agree on, on election, the president you have a parliament which is now an electoral body. it cannot legislate. and there is a need for reforms, or delegation from the international monetary fund wasn't lebanon just a few days ago. and they said that the situation is dangerous. the economic collapse, the state has all about collapse, the state is nearly bankrupt. they are saying that these politicians, instead of arguing over time, should be focusing on coming up with an economic recovery plan. one of the worst financial crisis the world has ever seen, and it is now in year 4. and it is, it is a serious crisis because unemployment is on the rise. there are
1:20 pm
a warnings that lebanon is heading to high for inflation. there's already inflation, the local currency is worthless, and if only a small, a segment of the society that earns in dollars a. so a very serious situation for the people and the political class, arguing over whether or not lebanon should be following summer time or winter time . thank you for that xena xena harder life or a say in lebanon's capital b boot scantrons next leader will be announced on monday, the election race was triggered after nicholas surgeon abruptly resigned. as leader of the not scottish national party. in february, surgeon said she had become too divisive to lead the nation to independence. 3 members of the scottish parliament are running to replace her health minister homes . are you sir? fis. a front runner. his distance himself from plans to use the election as an independence referendum. yourself is up against finance minister kate forbes, who says an immediate case for scotlands independent, independence isn't strong enough. a 3rd candidate is former communist safety
1:21 pm
minister ash reagan. she was ridiculed for suggesting she would test whether scotland was ready for independence by erecting a readiness to mommy to life. nadine baba in edinburgh for his so a difficult campaign for the f and p. nadeem. is there a clear favorite will generally throughout the campaign? yes. most commentators and polling of suggested homes a use us is our heads in front of kate forbes. he's seen as the continuity candidate close to nicholas search. and that's not necessarily a good thing because the policy's been involved in scandal since nicholas virgin said she was going, it's over the parties membership numbers. the policy was revealed to have a lawyer to journalists who said, had lost 30000 members. in fact, it has so we think it's around 72000 members of the assembly voting for the new leader. and then kate forbes had been attacked from some in her own policy over her
1:22 pm
socially conservative views, installed some things like abortion and equal marriage. and then you've got ash reagan, there's seen as the least inferred place. basically, she resigned actually over her opposition to the scottish governments attempts to make it easier for transgender people to self identify. what are the main challenges for the winner? well, that huge. i mean firstly, let's not forget the s n p, we'll have to seek support from another policy currently there in coalition with the greens here in the holy writ parliament and the greens of hin fits that they will only work with somebody who commits to climate justice and to socially progressive policies, that's a hint that they want the use of to win. if that doesn't happen, if they don't back the candidate who emerges then the, the, the s and p will be looking for support at least to get legislation through from
1:23 pm
a non pro independence policy. then there are great challenges, like tackling record and a check waiting times for health services. here in scotland, education is not in a good state either. and then of course, the regular, better of the policy delivering independence. hums the use of an k for you is saying that both distance themselves from nicholas sturgeon suggestion last year, that if the u. k. government didn't let them have a referendum, they could use perhaps a general election as a factor referendum shriek. and he's very candidate saying that the de facto referendum i did is practical and independence could be any time soon. i think the general population that may be getting the s and p support rather could be getting fed up with all of this waiting. so it's a really tough challenge for us. whoever emerges is a new 1st minister. thank you for that. nadine barber life for us in edinburgh in the us search and recovery cause a digging through flattened homes in the 7th state of mississippi. after fridays

1:25 pm
what they can, where they can't. i want to take the opportunity to personally thank all of 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 loss and devastation of these communities. but on the other 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 seen 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,
1:26 pm
