welcome to bbc news. i'm david eades. our top stories: cheering. celebrations from supporters of a new government in israel after a coalition of parties is narrowly voted in and netanyahu is finally out. president biden arrives in brussels for the nato summit, promising to return the us to a leading role. it's a country experiencing climate change more than most, so just why did swiss voters narrowly reject cutting greenhouse gas emissions? denmark's team doctor confirms that christian eriksen did suffer a cardiac arrest during his team's euro match before being resuscitated. and 19 and counting: novak djokovic clinches another grand slam title with a classic fightback

in the french open. hello and welcome. the israeli parliament has approved a new coalition government, signalling the removal of benjamin netanyahu as prime minister after 12 straight years in power. supporters of the parties who make up the extraordinary coalition have taken to the streets. for the first two years, it will be led by the right—wing nationalist politician naftali bennett. he will then hand over to yair lapid, the leader of the centrist yesh atid, for a further two years. here's our middle east correspondent tom bateman. they've waited for 12 years. in this divided country, for the people who wanted

to oust their most enduring leader, now it's their moment. it took a chaotic vote in israel's parliament to get there. with the count about to start, mr netanyahu makes one last stand. "iran is celebrating because they understand there will be a weak and slack government," he says. "the opposition in israel will have a clear and strong voice." we'll be back, soon! the new coalition scrapes in byjust a single vote. cheering. it was all over for israel's combative, often controversial leader — one who leaves an indelible legacy. benjamin netanyahu rose rallying israelis against the oslo peace deals with the palestinians. there is a battle forjerusalem... he was a figurehead for the right. supporters saw him as mr security.

but opponents despised his tough brand of nationalism. he won successive elections, but he split voters. and a trial for corruption — claims he denies — left him increasingly isolated. israel's new pm is mr netanyahu's former aide, naftali bennett — a nationalist who opposes a future palestinian state. he called for unity, but laid into those he said were tearing the country apart. after two years, he'll hand over to the centrist yair lapid. how long will the coalition last? israel's new coalition spans the left to the nationalist right and, for the first time, an arab—israeli party. naftali bennett now has to lead the broadest coalition in israeli history, and that could make it one of the most unstable. he has his work cut out just to govern.

they have a crisis to deal with. after israel's recent war with hamas in gaza and violent division inside israel, fears are rising of new tensions again. but this is a moment of israeli history as the throne is pulled away from the politician some called the king of israel. tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. and we'll have more on the parties that make up that complicated coalition later in the programme. so stay with us for that. president biden has arrived in the belgian capital brussels for two days of meetings with nato and the european union. monday's talks among the 30 members of nato are expected to see the united states resume its traditional leadership role, which had been somewhat diminished during the trump presidency. nato leaders are expected to formulate a firm message for mr biden to take to geneva on wednesday where he will meet russian president

vladimir putin. i asked kurt volker, former us ambassador to nato, what president biden needs to do for nato. this will be a way of showing american support and broader support for nato and a desire for the united states to lead nato into the future, so this is important and i think it is the main message. in addition to that, there will be an effort to have nato look forward — what is the vision for 2030? there was a study group that was done by a group of senior international experts some time ago that will now be formalised by nato as they look ahead, creating a vision for nato 2030. part of that will be dealing with china and 5g and new types of threats and challenges — something nato has not done before. and another part of that will be dealing with russia, of course, which is a constant thorn in the side — as you would know only too well as the former special representative

to ukraine as well. i mean, what should nato, and particularly president biden — who will be confronting vladimir putin in a few days — what should they be laying out here? well, i think that it is very important that president biden reassure allies in central and eastern europe that he is indeed going to be pushing back very hard on vladimir putin and russia's aggressive policies that they have implemented over the last seven years. —— implemented over the last several years. there is a lot of worry about that in poland, in the baltic states and elsewhere, so he needs to be very reassuring that he will be very with putin on that. crosstalk. sorry, kurt, are you expecting that? you are right, the czechs, the poles, they will be desperate to hear that kind of language. no, they will. and i think the language will come from president biden. the question is whether those deeds will come from the united states and allies as well. i think there are a few things we have already seen that caused concern.

the green light for nord stream 2 — there's no us sanctions to block that. the russian military build—up around ukraine, and turning around warships into the black sea, when the us turned them around. the british brought those warships into the black sea but the us turned them around. they want assurance the us will be firm on this and they are going to want to see it in action. and one thing i would recommend that nato do is support the czechs. the czechs have had this diplomatic row with russia because of the explosion at an ammunitions depot that russian agents were responsible for. it killed czech citizens, and russian diplomats were expelled as a result. i think there needs more solidarity from other nato countries in support for the czechs on this would be important. more solidarity. there is a reality that amongst the membership of nato, it has become a bit disparate and lacking in mutual support — which, of course, is meant to be the cornerstone of the north atlantic treaty organization. yes, that is exactly right!

and i do have to give nato credit for recognising this and saying we've got to pull together around a common vision for the future. the fact, however, is that we don't have that common vision at the moment — whether it is in how we deal with russia or what kind of threat china represents or whether nato is the right place to talk about a chinese threat. kurt volker, former us ambassador to nato. let's get some of the day's other news. the trial of former myanmar leader aung san suu kyi will hear its first testimony on monday. there have been near daily protests after a military coup removed her government in february. the uprising has been met with a brutal military crackdown that has killed hundreds of people. a retired army colonel from the pinochet era in chile has been arrested in argentina. walter klug rivera was arrested in buenos aires earlier this month. the argentine authorities say he will be sent back to chile, where he stands accused of the murder of 23 people. thousands of protestors

want to try and stop the pardoning of catalan leaders by the spanish government. the protestors accuse the socialist—led government of trying to shore up political support with those opposed to spanish unity. the left deny it, saying the pardons would help ease tensions with the catalans and the separatist leaders who were found guilty of sedation two years ago. —— found guilty of sedition. swiss voters have narrowly rejected government proposals to limit carbon dioxide emissions, putting the country's entire strategy to comply with the paris agreement on climate change in doubt. in a referendum, 51% of people rejected a plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions to half their 1990 levels by the end of this decade. the bbc�*s tim allman reports. it's considered by many to be the greatest threat facing humanity — a climate crisis that could endanger all life on earth. governments around the world

are introducing legislation to at least begin to address the issue, but in switzerland, the electorate seemed to have other ideas. translation: voters rejected the law. - it's not yet possible to say exactly what the reasons for the rejection are. what is certain is that the bill was very comprehensive. it covered different areas and was probably overloaded. large bills always have a hard time. switzerland is a country feeling the effects of climate change more than most. scientists say temperatures here are rising about twice the pace of the global average, and it is feared the country's alpine glaciers could melt away by the end of the century. perhaps this was just referendum fatigue, or perhaps this was simply an electorate unwilling to take economic risks while recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. translation: we knew - from the beginning that we had much better arguments than the proponents but, of course, it was difficult to get through and show the population this law is very

inefficient and it will cost a lot of money and it brings no benefit to the climate. that argument, that the law would bring too many costs, seems to have won the day. environmentalists insist the cost of climate change will be much, much higher. tim allman, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: is he the greatest men's tennis player ever? novak djokovic clinches a 19th grand slam title in a closely fought french open final. there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used by the ira was given. army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge explosion. the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act which, for a0 years, forcibly classified each

run as prime minister. it will be headed for the first two years by the religious nationalist naftali bennett. we will break this down for you because it is a complex old coalition, this. at one end of the political spectrum there's yamina, a right—wing nationalistjewish party headed by the incoming prime minister, naftali bennett. they seek to promote thejewish identity of israel and want to expand settlement building in the occupied palestinian areas. they also oppose the establishment of any palestinian state. at the other end, is the labour party, headed by merav michaeli, which holds social democratic views, supporting a strong welfare state among other things. they have often held power in israel. they are largely in favour of the peace process with the palestinians — previous labour prime ministers have signed peace

deals with them. and in the midst of all this, there's the united arab list headed by mansour abbas, the smallest party in the coalition with just four seats. it's an islamist party based in the south of israel. they want to give more resources to the arab citizens, who make up over 20% of israel's population. they strongly support the creation of a palestinian state, based on the pre—war 1967 borders. gabe friedman is the deputy managing editor of the jewish telegraphic agency and has written a profile of naftali bennett. i asked him what chance he gave this coalition. it was pretty surprising, though, to hear bennett's speech, for him to come out sounding so humble and so willing to compromise. it was a pretty significant speech, in my opinion. he laid out a bunch of things that they might find common

ground on, and he specifically said, you know, any of those hot—button, contentious topics, we're not going to put them on. we're going to leave that aside. we want to project a sort of a sense of calm and composure following, like the report said, the so—called �*king of israel�* who has led for so many years and has projected such a confident presence on the world stage for israel for so long, it's such an important moment for them to show that israel doesn't have to be led by a man named netanyahu. right. and it it's interesting, because especially in the last couple of years it's been a country in a certain sort of paralysis, really, in a political sense. so, you know natfali bennett and the way he works. he must see this as a great personal opportunity as much as a political one? absolutely. i mean, his party, his yamina party is only seven seats out of the 120 seats in the knesset, the israeli parliament. so he has made all the right moves in his career and been on the right side of netanyahu

in sort of forging his own following, but he is also good friends with the centrist, yair lapid, and that has worked out in his favour this time. and i think it's important to know that unlike the previous coalition, which was an uneasy one between gantz and netanyahu, benny gantz the centrist, former military commander, that was kind of doomed from the start. there was bickering over policies. bennett and yair lapid are good friends, despite the fact they don't agree on, you know, on everything. they call each other friends in public and stuff. there are high hopes. right. and naftali bennett, a short while ago, he said president biden is a great friend of israel. where you are sitting, how is this going to go down in the states? obviously it is complex in terms of a government, but perhaps on a personal level, i don't suppose joe biden will not be bothered that it is not mr netanyahu

he is dealing with? yeah, netanyahu in the past — biden is a steadfast israel supporter. he has made that clear. it will be interesting to see how they go toe—to—toe on certain issues like the iran nuclear deal. bennett has said we will continue the same stance as netanyahu, against any type of a deal. it will be an interesting sort of clash of personalities there. it is worth noting that a lot of the ministers are not on the far right, i think yair lapid will be foreign minister for the first two years, dealing with a lot of the us stuff and he is more of a centrist.

gabe friedman, from the jewish telegraphic agency. the british prime minister boris johnson will announce later on monday whether or not covid restrictions in england are to be lifted onjune 21st. it would've seen an end to social distancing rules and the full re—opening of hospitality venues but there are reports that a delay of up to four weeks is being considered. the main concern is the increase in cases linked to the delta variant first detected in india. our health correspondent jim reed has been looking at the data. drinks and socialising outside this afternoon. tomorrow, the government must decide whether to lift all remaining lockdown rules in england from june 21st, perhaps scrapping that limit of six people inside. the growth of the delta variant — first found in india — has made that call more difficult. scientists think it may spread 60% faster than the older kent — or alpha — version. speaking on the andrew marr programme, a government adviser

said relaxing rules further could fan the flames of the pandemic. the way i look at it is, if you're driving down a road and you are coming up to a bend and you are not quite sure what's around that bend, but you think there might be something bad, you don't put your foot on the accelerator. if anything, you slow down, not speed up. and i think it's analogous to that. i think we've got to be really cautious. covid infections are still well below the levels seen injanuary, but they have been rising since some indoor mixing was allowed. this graph plots cases so you can more easily see the rate of growth. what scientists want to see is for that straight line to start curving round, as transmission starts to slow down. if that doesn't happen, then at the current rate of growth, we could see 15,000 cases a day by the start of next week. the hope is the vaccine rollout can prevent those new cases turning into hospital admissions.

there are about half as many people in hospital now across the uk, based on our infection rate, than what you would expect. and the reason for that is the older groups — who were more likely to go into hospital — have had both doses of the vaccine. the data shows a second vaccine dose provides far more protection against the delta variant than just one. scientists say it's why a delay to that final stage of unlocking might be needed to give more time to getjabs into arms this summer. jim reed, bbc news. the doctor for the danish football team has confirmed christian eriksen did suffer a cardiac arrest on the pitch on saturday — and that "he was gone" — before being resuscitated. the former tottenham star collapsed during denmark and finland's euros game. he is now recovering in hospital. nick beake reports from copenhagen. the heartfelt messages

were to get well soon. a show of strength for christian eriksen, who was awake, even asking about his team—mates. everyone here at this euro 2020 fan zone knew it could have been so different. hearing that he's in good shape and he actually had some conversations with the team and so on, it's fantastic. that's the only thing that matters to us, christian's health. yeah, the football is secondary today. 100%. that sense of relief has been shared by football fans the world over. that's because today we got confirmation, if it were needed, ofjust how serious the situation was. earlier we asked denmark's team doctor how close they were to losing christian eriksen. yeah, what should i say? he was, he was gone. and we did cardiac resuscitation, and it was a cardiac arrest. how close were we? i don't know. we got him back.

and the sight of christian eriksen — conscious as he left the pitch — gave hope to all. but his team—mates are being offered psychological support and the denmark head coach says it was wrong to ask the players to resume the match. the players resumed in a shock condition. players who almost, and they don't really know yet, if they lost their best friend, and they have to decide. eriksen is still being monitored at denmark's leading heart unit, where doctors are yet to work out why he collapsed. a tournament already delayed by the pandemic goes on, with football and life put in perspective. nick beake, bbc news, copenhagen. to tennis and novak djokovic has clinched his 19th grand slam title with a back from the brink win against fifth seed stefanos tsitsipas in the final of the french open. tsitsipas won the first two 7—6, 6—2 before the world number one fought back, to level things at two

sets apiece, before taking the final, deciding set. it was an historic victory for djokovic, making him the first player in the open era to have won all four grand slam titles twice. he said he was thrilled, ranking the past few days in the top three achievements of his career. two voices inside — there is one that is telling you that you can't do it, that it's done, it's finished, so that was pretty strong after that second set. and so i felt there was a time for me to actually vocalise the other voice and try to suppress, you know, the first one saying that i can't make it. so i told myself i can do it and i encouraged myself and, you know, strongly started to repeat that inside of my mind and tried to live it with my entire being.

it seemed to work, didn't it? it is nearly 70 years since queen elizabeth first met a serving us president — that was harry s truman — and on sunday she added to her list as she welcomed joe biden for afternoon tea at windsor castle. he'd travelled from the g7 summit in cornwall, as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. dropping in for tea. how very british. president biden�*s helicopter brought him to a windsor castle geared up for a vip visit. stand still! in the quadrangle, the grenadier guards were being bawled at by their sergeant major. he shouts orders once he was happy, the queen emerged from her castle to take her place on the dais, ready to receive the president and the first lady. when it comes to us presidents,

no—one has met more of them than the queen. president biden is the 13th she has greeted. the guard of honour was inspected, and then the president and first lady went inside for tea with the queen. a moment of hospitality between two heads of state, simple enough in itself, but with a particular significance, underlining the bonds between long—standing allies. later, president biden told us reporters that the queen had reminded him of his mother. he said that among other things they talked about president putin of russia and president xi of china. nicholas witchell, bbc news. there we are. there is more on all ofjoe biden�*s itinerary on the website. he is in brussels

now for meetings with nato and the european union and then heads to geneva where he will be meeting vladimir putin. you are watching bbc news. hello there. it was a very warm day on sunday. and across northern ireland, it was the warmest day of the year so far before the rain arrived. it was also the warmest day of the year in wales, 27 degrees in the south of the country. but for many parts of the uk on monday, it will be much cooler. the cooler air is coming down from the north—west, arriving in scotland and northern ireland by morning, as the rain eases off and trickles down into northern england. a very warm start to monday, though, across england and wales. what's left of any rain in northern england and north wales willjust peter out, and this band of cloud just wanders southwards, arriving in east anglia and the south—east in the afternoon. either side of that, some sunshine, increasing cloud, though, coming into northern ireland and scotland with some blustery

showers in the north—west. and it will feel cooler for many parts of the country — except towards the south—east of england and east anglia, where we've got high temperatures and humidity before the cloud arrives during the afternoon. now on sunday, it was 28 celsius at wembley. it won't be anywhere near those sort of temperatures at hampden for the scotland game. it's much cooler and breezy, as well. the cooler air is behind that weather front they are, that's out of the way on tuesday. high pressure building in from the azores — this weather system, though, is arriving in from the atlantic, meaning that more of a breeze picking up in scotland and northern ireland, increasing cloud and some rain in the north—west, as well. england and wales still dry, still sunny, while not as hot in the south—east, for many other parts of the uk, temperatures may be a little bit higher on tuesday. moving into wednesday, this is where we find our band of cloud. there's not much rain on it by this stage. scotland and northern ireland cooler, largely dry.

for england and wales — we've got quite a contrast, really, across the uk — for england and wales, that heat is building, and the humidity, too, especially towards the south—east, where temperatures won't be far away from 30 celsius. but then it could all go bang — we've got the threat of some heavy rain, thunderstorms late wednesday, through thursday and into friday, mainly across the midlands and eastern parts of england, where we will see that heavy rain overnight, still perhaps around during thursday. not quite as wet further north and west across england and wales, and drier and brighter for scotland and northern ireland. but it will be cooler. it's humid in the south—east, but with that thundery rain, temperatures won't be quite as high as wednesday.
