on that very contentious bill and expect it to continue throughout the day and even into tomorrow before uh, potential final vote. but let me tell you where we are right now. and what the scene is like. i mean, if you look around as you already have so many demonstrators here, they've been chanting democracy slogans. they say that the situation is extremely dire. yeah, that will just follow me around here as well. if you'll just look over here, rob, on your there's been a bit of a debate going on, you'll see barricades behind this because there is a step of security practice. but there's been a bit of a debate going on between those that oppose this very contentious bill. and those who are actually restore the bill going forward. so those were supporting the efforts of prime minister benjamin netanyahu. um, the fact of the matter is it's just past 11 am here, it's extremely hot already. you have thousands of demonstrators who have come out one lady i spoke with just a short while ago and said the reason that they are out is because they have arrived at the moment where the giver team is about to fall. and they are extremely
11:04 am
worried about if this passes get this contemptuous bill passes. they are worried that it will move the country away from democracy and towards autocracy. now let me also just show you how to, if you can come with me a little bit longer here, across the street from us. you also have thousands of demonstrators that have also gathered. and as we were driving up here this morning, despite the barricade, despite the check points, you had a human chain of demonstrators, people lining all the sides of the roads in order to showcase their opposition to this bill. that's in addition to the fact that yesterday you had dozens of demonstrations across the country. we were at 2 of that we were at one, they were marchers that were protesting that were marching from tel aviv to uh, to west jerusalem. uh, we stopped along the side of a highway with them and they said that they were out to come out and force and showcase the fact that they were against this bill. and then last night we were also in tel aviv, where they were over 200000 demonstrators who came out once again for the 29th week

to showcase that they are against this bill going forward. we're expecting the protests to only grow throughout the course of the day. rob mama does have kind of like side note to all of this. one of the men of the center of the thing that is going on benjamin netanyahu. the prime minister is saying that he is going to be at the can ask them vote, but that's only of maybe a day or so after he's gone through surgery to have a pace maker afraid of how it is. all of that being reacted to their in the lot. so robin news broke up much earlier this morning that the prime minister was entering the hospital so that you could have a pace maker inserted. and just a week ago, last saturday, the prime minister had entered the hospital because he had been the hydrated. he had complained of dizziness. at that point, he was out fitted with a heart monitor. now we've been told by representatives with the prime minister's office, but he is in good condition that even though the cabinet, the week be scheduled, cabinet meeting has been delayed until tomorrow, which usually takes place on sunday. but he's in good spirits and it's expected
11:06 am
that she'll be released later on in the day. but the fact of the matter is that this is a crucial time for the prime minister. he is under a tremendous amount of pressure. on the one hand, you have these demonstrators who continue to come out and we're expecting potentially hundreds of thousands out even on a day like today where it is extremely hot. on the other hand, you have a growing number of protesters from within the ranks of the army. reserve is at this point, you have over $10000.00 reserve, as we have said, that they will not show up for service. if this, if this bill passed, as we know that the defense minister, your galani has been trying to get the prime minister to agree to delay the vote on this contemptuous village. you have to be seen that that will happen, but also have to factor in that the prime minister is under an extreme amount of pressure from those on the weak members of his cabinet wants to see some part of his overall plan passed before the contents of the brakes bridge somerset from that's going to happen on the 30th of this month. so the prime minister is dealing with a lot if you have to be seen how this hospital visit might play into or impact all

11:13 am
the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching all just need a reminder of our top stories. this are hundreds of thousands of his ratings are valid on saturday, against the government's funds to change the legal system. because that is, can this, it is due to vote on monday for the safety, the phil is attracted to democracy. tens of thousands of people are being moved to safety as wildfires drivers, degrees island roads out of control fires have been burning for 5 days, cause an expensive damage and voters in spain are now heading to the poles and the countries not for elections. they face
11:14 am
a choice between essential left governments and a conservative coalition, which could include the far right parties for the 1st time in decades level known as one of the countries that will feel the impact of the collapse of the black sea green deal, the multiple crises facing the country of low to high levels of poverty and food shortages, they're not called the reports from all caught in northern lebanon. farmers say they need more government support. the wheat harvest season is almost over. farmer say they had little choice but to bolster production because of lebanon's economic crisis and the rise in global food prices. but the country is far from producing enough amounts to meet local demand. so beyond kind of a heavy in the past, the percentage of farmers who grew weeds was around 40 percent. now it's more than 70 percent. if we get more support, we would be able to grow much more. it is an expensive business,
11:15 am
especially since 11 on imports, almost everything and the local currency lost more than 95 percent of its value. the nearly bankrupt government has promised to support production by providing seeds at the low price. for fever shake in the face, a lot of the challenges to be able to invest in orlando. we are poor, we need dollars to buy pesticides. that's why the government should support assets as she and successive governments left the agricultural sector under funded and under developed for decades. and the break down in government services means there is a lack of water for irrigation. the financial meltdown has made the situation of farmers worse. some have stopped their work. high energy costs affect their operations. the international community has stepped in the united nations and n. t o's have been helping develop
11:16 am
a more sustainable local food system. the need is to increase production and lower the cost. we've have a big challenge old way down from the farm is the production, the production of wheat all the way down to the people who are consuming gets and trying to buy the products as well. fundamentally, in food and security has risen during this time. and we haven't got enough wheat in the country to try to keep the price is most stable so that some of the most vulnerable people can buy the products. the warren ukraine has affected global prices as well as disrupted the supply chain loving on wants to end this dependence on imports from that region. but there's a long way to go that include the else is either a car, northern, left and on. so let's be 40 years since lives broke out and so lank against the tumble of minority, hundreds were killed. phases of the homes destroyed and businesses looted, not even, even violence was cut it out by people from this in holland majority banks by the
11:17 am
government. it ignited the $26.00. you conflict between the government and html tango, separatist, and now fernandez reports because that couldn't. and now then was 9 years old when and determine the violence threw out in july 1983 here in this columbus of a we've, i helped over the war overall idea. also our grandmother was with us at the time and she couldn't walk properly either. so she, we, or we had to jump over the wall into the house behind is because that was a muslim house. and why that jumping? we can also hear sounds of chaos. so somebody hidden this house up the road before moving to refuse you can. and then shipped out to jessica with hundreds of others. this is what they will hiding from government backed mobs hunting downtown moves using both of this torching cause homes and businesses. on the 23rd july, 13 soldiers were killed in jeff now,
11:18 am
but it was stationed to fight and emerging separatist movement, the arrival of their bodies in colombo for find the right spot, anger and violence that spread throughout colombo and other parts of the country. many believe the violence was planned to the international commission of judas said, this suspicion is strong, that this organized attack on the time of a violation was planned and controlled by extreme is elements in the government. un be potty, some reports go as far as to a ledge that a member of the cabinet was actively involved in planning these attacks. over $400.00 time, those were killed. tens of thousands of homeless, 17 major factories and hundreds of small businesses were destroyed in a week long mats and the violence and looting. then present judge i will then it took 3 days to react. when he did, he threatened to prescribe any organization supporting the division of the country
11:19 am
. he did not condemn the violence that's pending to the country, seeing how the majority was part of the problem. is this failure to recognize that we are approved of society? we should recognize that an appreciated that has become, i think about, of the biggest contributing factors to ad, down for the drives from to tens of thousands of times to migrate and lead to a major escalation of the 2060 a conflict between government troops and samuel tigers, fighting for a separate state for he has a cost violence with places like this in the halls in ceylon, his commercial capital, and many others was set to blaze in thousands of time and lives. what talking of harsh, observe and said nothing much has changed in time. a and stayed behind, made to feel that they do not belong. yeah, no, fernandez, i was a 0. colombo open on the fernandez, is during the night from colombo, given the fact that this is such
11:20 am
a significant period in shall anchors history. is it being marked in any way of the not in of a major way. i mean that, uh, a couple of all take submissions with that uh, some installations and exhibits that look at the uh, sort of legacy of violence. but as you look around, if you just look over my shoulder, i mean, literally the buildings you'll see behind me in the very buildings that you see in some of that archive footage in my piece. uh that ran on there. uh, but it's pretty much business as usual, things have moved on. it's not as of time those who would at the receiving end, don't remember. most of them carry a trauma that they have done some many decades. but even today, for 2 years on very few are willing to come out and talk about it. you'd be amazed at how many people refuse coming before camera to speak about it for the space. in fact, with the, the average citizens. oh,
11:21 am
people in the business community who lost everything. so it is not a massive sort of a commemoration people remember, but not necessarily out in the open. you're setting your reports. i mean, now that not much has changed since uh the events or 40 years ago. do people in inter length of feel that the problems the country is facing now having some we linked to what happened 14 years ago of the well, it's definitely a significant milestone when you look back at for long because history, i mean the fact that on multiple levels, this was such a massive black to month for the country. the fact that he turned on a minority group and the very nature of the violence, many people said it was states funds said, and you know, 40 years on obviously we had more than 20 as a war within that to be directed to end up with the time to tie goods of who were
11:22 am
demanding a separate states, it sort of affected the development costs of the country and all of that. and also thomas wherever they are in west and kept those this for a groups. all of those students had a that trauma. so it has affected, or she loc as development, given the potential it had all those years ago and kind of stopped to slow down that process. now fernando is talking to us from colombo min l. thank you very much indeed. well, pulse have not closed in cambodia. i've made a part of entry election that opposition groups the next side have caused a shot called a shop. all 125 seats are held by prime minister, one sense cambodians people's party homes and is one of the world's longest serving leaders. he's been in power since 1985. the manual position project has been bought from the contest. finally, lows live at the polling station in the capital foam payment one has turned out. being like, even though the election is why they regarded as one sided,
11:23 am
a year of sole pulse just close here about 20 minutes ago. and right now, ball in tears here are preparing to count the ballots. so we don't have yet the final figures for voter turnout, but we do have the figures from about an hour ago. and the national election commission said that $7000000.00 voters had turned out or turned up for 2 days election. so the total number of registered voters in this country is $9700000.00. so that's about 70 percent of. busy registered voters here above. so we have to of course, put this in context because the information legal system here has been repressive. in the last few years, more and more, the government has cracked down on independent media. and even the head of the, these elections in the weeks ahead of these selections, independent new sites,
11:24 am
have been blocked by the government. and so the information that is coming through to voters is just missed the message that is coming from the ruling parties of prime minister when sen. so this is what they've been hearing. and so in speaking with voters here at this point station, at least they said that they feel like they are exercising their right to vote. and that the ruling party has govern the country quite well in their experience. rob. so there's every likelihood that hudson is going to win this election, but i understand that he's funny to stand out and after his next time. so what's the plan off of us? right, so in the past year or so, probably minister when said has hinted that he will hand over power to his son, who in my net, who is the commanding general of the army at the moment. but those were just 10
11:25 am
spots last friday during the last day of campaigning, he gave an interview to chinese media. and he mentioned that this transfer power from him to his son home. and that will probably happen in 3 to 4 weeks. and so everybody now is expecting home and that to be the next prime minister of this country. and in fact, during the last day of campaign, whom annette was a no show at the campaign rally, become board young people's party and home. and it was very much the start of that campaign rally rob barnaby. thank you very much. indeed. that's bonnet below bringing yourself to dates from from pen cubes. economy grew by nearly 2 percent last year, but the nation is producing far fewer food staples and it did a few years ago as ad august and reports from havana, politicians. and i was scrambling to find solutions for cuba. national assembly of people's power has been in session for the last 3 days. top of the agenda, reviving domestic food production,
