10:06 pm
social collapse. michelle, as i'll just as a senior political analyst, he says what's happening in israel is directly linked to the occupation of public opinion territories. most of those hundreds of thousands of people in the streets, often of even jewish them, are either unwilling or incapable to see the link between 5 decades plus the patient of oppression, a party and its effect on their own political system for 5 seconds or so. there are 2 processes that's been happening and is pre 1967 is that it was basically more step to learn more best. and that's your dominated. i would say even more sense that lift something quite hard designs. after $9067.00 was due process began to happen. it is one is the politicized session of religion, both ultra orthodox consecutive parties. that's what basically non designs became
10:07 pm
designers. and those types of national respect were quite secular. again, courts even imagined though, some of the, the 96 of them was defined intervention was a middle, the army became sick for of illegal settlements. begin with dentists. so you have it going, nationalistic, right wing fanatical twins within the existing site and thinking over slowly but surely. and it's a hard core is the settlement movement in the occupied territories. in fact, to the main ministers today, leaving the changes in is that with the finance minister of the social security or product or the supplements moving, this is the go 2nd move i don't to patient. but is there any sense to be in touch with not to see the link between the horrific occupation of the process thinking and that's going on for decades and how those phonetic stuff have grown out of books on visual corporation. i'm not totally ignored,
10:08 pm
not only towards the stadiums, but the worst, their own jewish brethren, the impression that strikes and a desk of damage. one of europe's of the launch is cathedrals. ukraine says they would be best to get some historic center of the city, which is the unesco world heritage side. 2 people are reported to have been killed . russia has been attacking the area for 6 consecutive days, so soft a must go, withdrew from a great deal, guaranteeing safe passage in the black sea. while mcbride is in a desk, the size of web cathedral was hit. this has been described by the regional governor as a now the nights attack of the monsters by raj of missiles raining down across odessa, hitting residential buildings, also landmarks in the historic center of the city, including this historic cathedral, a missile crushing through and destroying half of the roof throughout the day

10:10 pm
a desa given it's important that to a food security should be considered to be an attack on the international community . this has been the 6 consecutive nights of a tax at the latest uptake and fighting the gun with monday's attack on the coach bridge. russia then scrapping the black sea a grain deal, and then we have had repeated attacks at 5 full, a 6 nights throughout the week despite that's of luck. to me is the lensky, the probably new president says that the a bridge that connects russia to crime a given the fact that it is transporting weapons which are used against ukraine, does remain an enemy object, robot. pride alters era. a desa, a russian leda, alexander lucas jenco says he's preventing wagner full of see some crossing the border into opponent. he made the comments off the holding talks with the russian president vladimir putin in saint petersburg. that expand has more presenting
10:11 pm
a united front. alexander lucas sion can make things that'd be a person for the 1st time since he helped in the musing the by wagner, moose, and raise in russia last month. bellow roses now, hosting the group sizes as part of a deal with very laid. it gives guinea, but goes and not much. i didn't know what a good spot middle of the wagner fighters have become a concern to them. they're asking to let them go west. i'm asking them, why would you do that? a more quietly, keeping tabs on them. they say we just want to, you know, go on a trip to warsaw and just shop shop triggers. because one they bought in buck moved, they knew where the military hardware was coming from. so they have this feeling that just shot. it's a problem and of course i'm keeping them in central galleries like we agreed 1st and i wouldn't want to re deploy them there as they're in this bad mood the moose and re groups presence and bella bruce has seen e. u and nathan, being the poland, seen more troops to its eastern buddha,
10:12 pm
poland former defense minister sees his country, is prepared. billows doesn't have an army to speak of that nature is 20 times more powerful than russia. they shouldn't stop anything because they'll lose within and back to the wall and ukraine. and both lead is posing key of stuttering counter offensive in the spots lies. this. this is a mindless policy of throwing unprepared people and mercenaries into the hellfire. so there is no counter offensive still such, there is one, but it has failed. it has failed. there are no result to leave a visit to the naval cathedral of so nicholas, a symbolic show of face to lead is growing, is a closer is the warm and ukraine grinds on. that like speed, which is 0. still exit polls in spain and suggesting losses for the left wing government led by prime minister petri sanchez. the main conservative opposition
10:13 pm
for the people's policies predicted to the made gains on the far right. volts policy is the 3rd largest electrical force and could become a crucial pano informing a right wing government. the, so you're good to go is coming the election for his and she, she joins us from the spanish capital, madrid. and sonia so it's just saying that these exit polls tentatively suggest pedro sanchez's gamble hasn't paid off. what do we know well known and it would appear that it was a fact fired, which was always the risk when he calls those snuff collections off to the pool showing up for his policy at the local and regional elections that were held at the end of may so far it looks like the the results could means that the policy that could is projected to, to win the people's party, the center. right. cause you could possibly go into coalition with the far right box policy. however,
10:14 pm
that that is still remaining late because we have to still obviously find out exactly how much but majority of a policy has games. but it really is an extraordinary defeat for the socialist prime minister, who even during the last few years, he has even managed to have successes in terms of economic growth in the country. but that was not enough to translate into support of his vision for his policy. so his policy, he campaigns on a vision that he said was one of the progressive spain and said that the vision that was being offered by his conservative counterparts, the center, right people's policy was bass of a reaction is in a reaction re conservative sense and of course he did on the line, the fact that if the people's party would not be able to get enough votes for an out,
10:15 pm
right majority that they would have to go to some kind of tax for the far right policy, which is something that has not been seen in spain's recent history since the end of the seventy's and there are tons of democracy. so these are all going to be a very serious set. and of course, the provoking results for the prime minister, whose personal approval ratings have not been strong. but nevertheless, it's going to be seen as a victory for the center, right. people's fussy, and if i managed to get into the coalition for the fall rights as well, sonia as he just says, i mean this doesn't cause raise the prospect of that far right. coalition, but what would that actually mean for the country? how do we account for this a power and shift to the right within last few years in spain have seen a policies been put into place that were decidedly left when progressive policies.
10:16 pm
but they also were quite divisive for people as well. and this was something that played into the hands of conservatives. and of course also on the far right says, well, they raise this as, as an issue in particular issues with women's rights and the, the 5, the frames, the sexual consent, little that actually. so the release of, of the sexual, the rapist and, and, and the default as well. but we have also seen that they would roll back on climate change policies as well. that is something which that has, they have definitely mentioned would be on the agenda as well. as preschool and spending as well. the p p have said that they would cost fiscal spending cop taxes . and that is echoed by the fall rights as well. but the far right set presence in any government, i would see a decidedly more extreme ton. they have an extremely tough
10:17 pm
stones on issues, for example, a regional separatism as well, very uncompromising stones, which could in ton be a provocation for those politicians in those regions, such as catalonia and the best country, who do not see the future as being part of spain spain on the verge of what could be a very historic shift. so yeah. okay. i got and my great, thank you still ahead and i'll just say around twice for line because minority time will community say they student have justice. 40 years of the hundreds of people were killed in the space of phonics fellows of closing come bo do in a general election where much of the opposition has been bought from taking part the the
