5:02 pm
is it to approve major budget cuts across ministries to fund a controversial so called national guard. the security minister is a mob been given says that it's critical in the fight against what he calls terrorism. but you are jude. it would report directly to and give it opposition leader. yeah, l a pete has criticized constant health education and security budgets to allocate money for what he's called been given as private army. he's treated saying the priorities of this government are ridiculous and despicable. the only thing that keeps that busy is running over democracy and promoting extreme fantasies of delusional people. david saw is a former district commander of police in tel aviv. he says there is no need for a separate force. i think a, a, we need to strength existing force of the police, which is lack of 2000 police officers for general regularly policing duties.
5:03 pm
and he will be blessed if they will add those this budget and did the police officers, which they want to go to the to do in this program. but under the commissioner and under the police, it's not only by the economic a sense, it's also by meaning that we can't accept that there will be any kind of law enforcement which is not under the regulation, the law and order of the police commissioner. and that's it, i mean, it's very strange that the government will decide to create another, a police officer. and the can says that it will be kind of a private militia, or it will be parallel parallel to the existing forces to walk at the same territory with the different commanding. it will be, these are, let's go live to western rizla. now serious bernard smith is that, but why has the cabinet decided on this now?
5:04 pm
adrian, this has been at my bank of a pet project really since he joined with benjamin netanyahu coalition. his new government in december, bank of air has been pushing more and more for it since he's because he's fail to get control really with a police or the military. and his wish came true last week when benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister. finally, k did get set to bank of it. okay. you can have this national guard what courteous coal private militia, if you agree to my plan, to pause the judicial overall that he's trying to push through parliament has been prompted all these protest and the national strike that we had last week about legislation. also very important to bangor there and of the far right of the cabinet. so bank of it agrees. and in return he gets this. this national guard are promised to set one up. the work cabinet ministers were told who spoke out against
5:05 pm
the idea of it, but in the end they all voted in favor of it. adrian. so what happens next, willis, national god be formed. well, there's quite a few months, at least before we get to the stage a pathway understand of people actually being hired to become members of this national guard. we know it's going to be funded by skimming about $1.00 to $1.00 and a half percent of the budgets of all the other ministries. and we're looking at a, an estimated cost of about $278000000.00 for it. the attorney general, she's told the cabinet that she's not convinced by the legality of this new national guard. she says, as of now, there is a legal hindrance to advancing the current draft. and so there are a lot of people sort of in officialdom who are in favor of the idea, but it has also parliamentary hurdles to jump. so it's certainly a few months off, but it's an indication of a sort of chaos we've seen in israeli government over the last few months because
5:06 pm
of his attempt to overhaul the judiciary. but where once this national guard was never going to happen, bank of a wasn't going to get the money or the packing for it. now after last week, all of a sudden it could become true. i was 0. smith live in west jerusalem, but many thanks and days. serious defense ministry says that 5 military personnel have been injured and what it says are israeli airstrikes. israel is declined to comment on the report of the latest attack on it. in western syria on sunday, it comes days after 2 members of iran's revolution regard were killed in damascus. iran's foreign ministry spokesman says the terran reserves the right to respond to what it says is israel's aggression of the appropriate time. prime minister benjamin netanyahu didn't directly mentioned the strikes during sunday's cabinet meeting, but he said that israel continues to fight terrorist and the who go room milk. we collect a heavy price from the regimes that support terrorism outside the borders of israel

this institution is one of the best in the keep region. and you can imagine what they're like in the east, more than 800 kilometers away. soviet era institutions like this were often built in remote locations deliberately to keep disabilities hidden. which is partly why this one fell in the path of the russian invasion. now, a sector that had been modernizing before the war has been set back and is under extreme pressure. arlena stayed on to care for residence as russian soldiers set up firing positions outside. they put borders and grad rocket systems in the field over there. she explains. those ellicott, they're both the keys lackland, that there is currently a great need for these facilities for people who lost their homes, their loved ones, left alive with their problems, who will help them except organizations like ours you the sound of a piano brings welcome cheer alex, has been

5:24 pm
area of the new capital, said to be a sprawling metropolis, 4 times larger than the current capital carter authority, status and terrible work with rather than against nature. the government has pitched the project as a model for sustainable development. you know that the development of fir and your capital is not just so making. when you sit, this is not just a building infrastructure, but you've also thought is thor, are degraded your environment. this nursery is part of that initiative. seedlings grown here will be replanted in new santa l by occupy under the local hunters in the electrical and we're actually transforming industrial forest back into natural for example, because the president wants 60 percent of the new capital area to be green. but some are skeptical groups like green piece have criticized to the project about an it guy. maybe that you must think about more than development just the korea de la

5:26 pm
fails to address regional economic disparity. there are 2 major reasons that prompted the coordination government to relocate the capital from jakarta to east cali month. and the 1st one is related to regional disparity, which is nice that has been suffering for many decades in which jeff islands has been predominately contribution to economic growth, which is about 50 percent of the g d p. so by relocating the capital to outside of the nation government inspect that it will trigger a more even distribution of economic growth. the 2nd reason is that the cost, though, just the current capital, is consider no longer suitable to function as a capital for the run due to traffic ingestion and flopped risk. so the government believes that it is cheaper to build a new city, dan, fixing a jack carter's complex organ problems. now the problem is that this relocating in
5:27 pm
building and your capital just doesn't necessarily address these 2 issues because original disparity is, is less about the location of capital. and more about, you know, how the general government and distribute the fiscal policy to all corporate still governments and also how to improve the lack to address the lack of manpower, new prospectors across many parts of a you know, nice outside java. so i think relocating and building new capital, it's got a month and we get what you know, nice them government is doing now does not really address the problem and may not achieve the goal that they want to accomplish. a forest fire and south korea's capital threatened more than 100 homes and forced the occupants to leave the plays began on a mountain at central solar monday morning water bombing helicopters were brought

5:29 pm
especially in rush hour. it's impossible to move around. so thanks to these, we can use the cycle lanes. it's much better than a car available. e scooters were introduced in france in 2018 since then. they've become part of the landscape in most cities. but some people say they're a nuisance cluttering pavements and endangering pedestrians. now the french government launched a new plan to regulate them. writers will have to be at least 14 years old and they'll be tougher penalties for misuse. court on industrial to people on an east good or is forbidden to day, but the find is only 35 euros. so it will be raised to a 135 years. the messages that dangerous behavior will be paralyzed, dedicated parking zones, and lowest speed limits are already in place. while the french government is stepping up, its regulation of electric skirt is here in paris. the city hall is asking people to vote on whether or not to panam the 3 companies that provide paris is he's good
