national security minister, as protest were roiling the country last week. it was at a standstill. this was over the judicial overhaul that is being bandied about. netanyahu made this promise to his national security minister because his national security minister, it's m r been given, was threatening to resign from the coalition, which would have put the coalition in jeopardy. it has a slim majority. this is a pet project of been good beer. bengal beer is a controversial far right figure. he has been convicted of racist incitement and supporting a terrorist group. and this national guard, as we're hearing now in terms of this proposal, would fall under his purview. the national guard is not the only issue being addressed by israel's cabinet. tens of thousands of people turned out for a 13th week of protests against the prime minister as planned, judicial overhaul, which is supported by it's m. r. been dvr, burnett. smith reports from tel aviv,

vote. the biggest fear that they can think about it is his food now has that in. yeah, the yeah, i can feel the protesters from across the political spectrum, including supporters from netanyahu's li, could party that yahoo on trial for corruption charges. he denies says the overhaul is needed to balance the branches of government on sunday. benjamin netanyahu will hold his last cabinet meeting before the stars of the jewish passover holiday. well, of course i've seen these protests been not meeting. there'll be a lot of pressure from nan. yahoo's fall right, coalition partners to push on with this attempt to overhaul israel's judiciary. burnett's men just there a television in the u. s. bad weather has been hampering clean up operations. after several days of storms, tornadoes swept across 8 states in the south and midwest, leaving a trail of destruction that all has risen to at least $26.00 people. since

a storm hit on friday, i kinda has the latest, the, the tornadoes shredded homes and shopping centers and console, and ripped on power lines throughout much of the state. right now for me it's just the clean up what i can and get this cleared. and man, try to see who else i can, man, it will, it will say if you with an airplane and, and had to take is like there about the blows. that's what it sounds like is a lot of pressure. the states governor says more bodies are being discovered as emergency crews comb the wreckage left in the wake of the storms. i've had the opportunity for the last couple of hours to speak with both the homeland security secretary as well as president biden, who have offered a tremendous amount of support, anything that arkansas needs. they have assured us that those resources will be

jazz era. don nickles manager's a piano store in little rock, arkansas, and he gave us the 1st hand accounts of the moment, a tornado at the shop. we were in the store that's behind this year. and the alarm said, gone off. we heard several sirens, and i actually stepped out the building to look. so the south, west tornado. see what the skies look like. and we saw the funnel cloud coming, georgia, and we watched it. it seemed a long ways away. but then we started hearing it very air each sound and that's what we took cover in the back of our store under some stairs. i didn't have that fear because you don't think it's really gonna hit you. i mean, the odds are so low, but i mean, i've lived my whole life and it's the 1st time i've ever actually been in a i've been near several, we're in a shopping center here that has about 5 or 6 buildings. 3 of them were fairly

heavily damaged. we only had just a little damage to our actual store. just the window was blown out and the ceiling 1000 dropped. but the restaurant just next door to us is close the walls. we're literally pulled out of that restaurant. there's lots of people offering water and food and help to those who are working and helping. and of course, those who lost their homes as well. ukraine has denounced russia taking over of the rotating presidency of the un security council president. a lot of marizza lensky says it's an absurd and destructive move. and this comes less than a month after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir putin shorter. he's gotten bullshit grange. yesterday the russian army killed another ukrainian child, a 5 month old boy, the parents, a wounded, one of the hundreds of artillery attacks that the terrorist states carries out

it will actually one through the more the world of well moscow have used the tow to ensure that the council have taken no meaningful action over ukraine. i think it is worth saying, though, that the russians have been quite restrained in the use of the veto on other issues the russians have not used that the so for example, over afghanistan or libya or, or other crises on the un agenda, i think they do value the security council as a space where they can do some residual cooperation with western countries. and they don't want to blow that up completely. bulgarians are casting their ballots in their 5th parliamentary elections in 2 years. turn out is expected to be low because of the voter fatigue and polling station bomb threats linked to russian hackers. well, gary and last voted 6 months ago. rising inflation, accusations of corruption on the war and ukraine have been major campaign issues.

and implementation of a long term policy to ensure the sustainable growth of the textile sector. the book, sunny governments discussions with the i m f r said to include energy subsidies for the tech side industry. some worried that if those are cut or removed, things could get worse. but for some of our, the world of other or better guardia pakistan has lots of poverty and unemployment . and because of this industry, so many of us get why and run our household, especially important for women because the aunt, lots of opportunities generally. um, we have several people here so they so much potential in the textile industry and it can become a world leader if it's supported by the government with a coalition government still debating the terms of a release package with the i'm with the success afraid of focused on the economy could change on the textile industry. that's why the business leaders here urging the government to protect it. but most of all, they won't political stability. something that's been missing in recent times. as a big avira fuss about. but the son, burkina faso,
