including bribery and fraud he could be jailed and found guilty but the trial is expected to last 4 years israeli politics are in chaos after an inconclusive election last month were political parties are holding talks with president reuven rivlin to decide who will be tasked with forming a new government. well speak to bourg he's a former speaker of israel's knesset and once served as the country's interim president he's now an author and businessman thanks for being with us 1st of all benyamin netanyahu is already israel's longest serving leader and seems determined to stay in power even while standing trial for corruption what does this tell us about the state of israeli democracy. it tells us that people both time and again and time and again and it is a very very persuasive conservative leader that the reason full generation who was born grew up whole way educated into the situation of nobody else but me. so

the fact that he is such a strong leader like him will call was at a time in germany like other leaders around the world the world for so many for so many years is in no way a very good point to his side to the downside of it is it looks as if the opposition known it which feels it is corrupt it is stuck in a tit he cannot believe her anymore he actually prioritizes person the agenda over the state's agenda took over at the foreseen actions just happened and we can have to do weeks ago so now the jury's out is it possible that netanyahu would have is again once again cabinet or with an alternative to rise and today the negotiations started and we do not yet know the jury's out looking at nothing success here are saying ok he had an extraordinary vaccination campaign in his country which he's

happy to accept credit for his normalized relations with several arab countries but he is standing trial for corruption in these corruption allegations have been spoiling for a long time are israeli voters inclined to forgive that and will that not complicate his efforts to become prime minister again. 2 issues the koran or in the way the koran i did not play a role in the in the in the elections because it's on the i was government failed dramatically in maintaining and running the crisis all during the year with the jewel of the crown over fantastic amazing success with the vaccination so the failure and the success actually balanced each other and were not conceded during the let the elections considerations by the voters and the left or right as please person a corruption he is not a 1st prime minister to be investigated of to be indicted or even to be fined to find guilty almost was there before him president that sob other ministers it's

true and in a way this is a citation or an award of x. it is for the israeli political system that we are not afraid to go off to the top gun to the to the don't know political power if there is any suspicion of corruption and this is a source of envy it's a very healthy system which does it at the same time i would say netanyahu debt situation is in the quick to run a government because it was proven time and again that he prioritizes person agenda over the states and the public agenda and this is actually the argument that he's all position and try to form an alternative coalition push forward the visa for the public and visa v. the israeli president will nowadays hold hearings trying to see who is the most chap most chances to construct the next quotation. mark thank you very much for talking with us that was the former speaker of the israeli knesset now to jordan

where prince homs says he will not follow orders to restrict his freedom of movement and speech the former crown prince was ordered under house arrest amid charges that he had other high level officials were plotting to destabilize the kingdom. denies being part of any conspiracy and says he's being silenced. according to jordan security officials the king's half brother bin hussein had been under investigation for some time the country's foreign minister said the former crown prince was trying to mobilize tribal leaders against the government with support from abroad. i mean the investigations monitored interference including calls with foreign parties were guarding the suitable timing to start steps to shake the security of our steady jordon. 16 people including a former advisor to king abdullah and another member of the royal family were arrested the military initially denied arresting hum's i've been hussein and said

it had issued him a warning for his actions but in a video statement sent to media on saturday prince holmes that claimed he had been placed under house arrest for associating with critics of the royal family there is no conspiracy. it's my movement has restricted it's my ability to communicate has been restricted but the people have been arrested to try to strike from the fundamental. system as. though he no longer holds an official title that remains a popular figure in the country. in my view it's just not right for prince hamza to be linked to these people these are people who jordanian see as questionable who

are really frowned upon. in what. we do not want to see anything no matter how small happened in this country this country is known and stable and secure and i ask god to have this country remain stable and secure. and many see the stability in king abdul of the 2nd he has enjoyed widespread popularity during his reign jordan is widely seen as an island of common a troubled region strategically located between israel syria saudi arabia and iraq the u.s. u.k. and several arab nations of all expressed their full support for the right wing monarch for more i'm joined by reporter who's following the story for us if prince has been critical of the government in jordan for years so why are we seeing these accusations now. so the prime minister the deputy prime

minister yesterday when he addressed these arrests said that there has been and investigation and that you know recently as you know as late as early morning morning saturday or late night friday they were able to you know get some what he implies to be conquered have evidence or they were able to he says interface some calls and track communications between those arrested among them course the former crown prince with plans to destabilize. jordan as he put it they also said that there have been tracking communication between the former current princes wife and also an unnamed foreign agent putting a private jet at her disposal to leave the country at the time of her choosing that's on one side as you mentioned the crown prince is critical and has been active on social media in the past couple of years but also he also he said that he

had recently met with a number of tribal leaders and he does enjoy quite a bit of popularity with tribal leaders and perhaps that has something to do with the timing. there are also allegations here that the former crown prince had foreign support in the alleged to cloth whatever to make of the. it's very difficult to know what the authorities mean when they say these foreign powers or that he's getting help from abroad because they haven't specified and they've also not presented any evidence for these allegations so you know i don't want to speculate but i will say that oftentimes you know this this this line or this excuse that critics or you know dissidents are creating with foreign forces is something that we hear coming from rulers in the arab world all the time often times just to silence criticism and dissent without ever you know

without any concrete evidence because that kind of rhetoric tends to galva nice people around the ruler if they feel that there's an outside force somehow you know out to get the country or out to get its stability but the thirty's have yet to present any evidence for what they mean by these foreign forces and thank you very much for filling us in there that was a double reporter. hungary's government is clamping down on independent reporting on the country's vaccination campaign and the situation in hospitals hungary has one of the highest per capita death rates from covered $900.00 in the e.u. although it also has the highest vaccination rate d.w. correspondent tony heard from one doctor on a reality of the odds with the picture put forward by the government soldiers money for people checking into his hospital treating call the patients

talk in public because they are worried about repercussions we need to reach to people and tell them about this illness not to create panic but you see people around and this is what this is about and this is why. i wrote in an open letter to the government number of journalists requested access to hospitals. prime minister viktor orban responded in a televised interview. this is not the time to go inside hospitals and produce bogus videos and fake news. is a photojournalist he too would like to show what's happening in hungary right now stop filming the hospital this is a public space or it's a very common situation says martin. sam out of the past this affects to people who want to know the real situation inside hospitals we know that more than 300 people died today it's our job to tell the story behind those numbers.

fact. hello and welcome to. coming to you from my neighborhood in mumbai in green consciousness which was once the domain of where the few people. lifestyle choice among many groups weddings for example which had a huge and good seo fair in india but also slowly joining this bad bad in some parts of the country and all the north in bangalore is making sure weddings not only on forget. movies but also save the environment of the process. of. the special wedding flowers were brought from local flowers just around the corner in back instead of importing them. they are a small part of wedding planner needed efforts to reduce the carbon emissions from the transport to create

a more environmentally friendly indian wedding. since the leap and began her career she's not just a significant shift in what couples now want on their perfect day so i have been doing this for about 6 years now when i started this i have always been conscious of the choices that they're making so really have tried to implemented here in there and sometimes clients didn't know or we and we did inform them that by going to choose something different so i would say probably about 30 percent of the time and 6 years ago probably less i guess 20 percent wanted something but now i'm surprised myself to sing so many people coming forward saying that they want you so i would see probably like about 70 to 75 percent people are kind of conscious and want to perfect the things. traditionally indian families celebrate marriage with and show up a wedding is a display of wealth and tradition. while there is an encouraging green trend among

urban indians the leap and says that comes with a lot of challenges. people always thing that an eco friendly wedding is equal to being cheap so that has been a challenge trying to get people away from that concept of eco friendly being cheap so there are many different aspects for any go family wedding it can be a simple thing as having people or see people or even a digital invite for the in ways that you give your guests even as a simple thing like having a chalkboard for your site and then getting the flex printed which is again the one to. yes in terms of your trousseau as well i would recommend probably using for one event at least your grandmother sabio your mother's wedding sobbing probably to you with some jewelry as well. said months who is another green onto premier and. she founded band especially 0 waste shop. she says that duction is trendy but it isn't a new concept in the country. we used to live in

a very easy to list in india and i think in a lot of. the horse who is narrative that's honestly don't need to buy a western rhetoric. and i think essentially it's going to be used to do what's not that normal and so i think it is can be very accessible it can be very arm of me very average and indian. so i think it can be for everyone and it's just about making these small little micro light choices and then it just adds up. months soon runs workshops on the weekends to improve accessibility and get the community you talking and thinking about reducing waste. she also publishes the d.i.y. ideas online with the idea that small changes can drive a big movement. i think sometimes gets a bad rap or by being too expensive or inaccessible and that's why we do all of the stuff and workshops so honestly we. just need

a kitchen or your backyard and you can mostly make a lot of these products within like 20 rupees. but the idea is essentially you know to make it just even accessible so that's a very transparent about at recipes it all on our website if you want to get yourself to order you go for it because the ultimate aim is just for less waste to be end up in ireland for the knowledge i'm optimistic that it's going to really change automation to good waste. and sustainability for the. eco friendly living is often seen as a privilege of the rich but with. championing small steps and improving people's access to green ideas indian consumers have increasing opportunities on their doorstep. let's take the example of our rising energy needs. as an emerging nation with the world's 2nd largest population the soaring demand for energy in india most of this demand is met by burning fossil fuels to

get to the government to spur more and more people to buy into the promise of valuable energy like solar power the actual switch is a very tedious process. building contractors to she'll share my hard work has paid off in 2015 he bought a house for his family of 4. it's a big house complete with modern kitchen and air conditioning. the electricity bill is around $10000.00 rupees a month over $100.00 euros. to save money he decided to make the switch to renewables. he knew he had heard of the government's solar dog and he wanted to contribute also i saw my neighbor mr go had also installed the top solar system in his homes that's where i got the idea of installing one in my house system with.

his 200 square meter roof is ideal so she'll share my installed a rooftop solar system and 2018 it meets the household and energy needs. india is home to a growing urban middle class experts say that of the trend continues the country's bar capita energy consumption is set to quadruple. things inverse. relation where. all. of this energy comes from you know 70 percent of an electricity generated took hold and. so if this is to remain in the future. in mind it also means there are a lot more coming from. gas emissions.

officially the government is backing an energy transition it has set a target of 100 gigawatt installed capacity of solar energy by 2022 offer each party got what will come from rooftop solar systems that's the equivalent output of 10 large coal fired power plants but so far it's achieved only a fraction of the stargate. the field is also you know the studio it was it was and distribution companies are using their. friends. roles as it is a. process of rationing so that when it comes to violence. and the banks early in. the company my son specializes in rooftop solar panel systems it also helps climbs navigate the people work involved . the indian state subsidies the installation but the

country is still a long way from reaching its clean energy targets. the real revolution of solar will only come when people like you and i are businesses are buildings industries corporates hotels everyone starts using solar because everyone has a roof i mean. so you have millions of buildings. or you have buildings you have potentially a space for a solar setting up a solar power project or so she'll share man the investment was worth it in the last 2 years his 7 kilowatt solar panel system has produced 22000 units of electricity. well most of the biggest benefit for me was that of the cost of a piece $4.00 and a half lakh i was able to pay in installments of a piece. sometimes my legacy bill would be working more than that i didn't have to pay anything extra and made this shift for free. as india's middle class continues

to grow the country's energy demand is soaring especially in the cities but if more families which to renewables as the show must have done india's growth want to be of the expense of the environment. a great idea often needs the right time to come to fruition for bicycle enthusiastic london that proved to be the onset of the pandemic look i don't know why this crisis has meant fewer cars and a lot more bikes on the city's streets and this could help make a big policy push towards turning london into a bicycle friendly city. i dislike hosting wounded us to be quite confident. with a road like this if you're a competent cyclist is not really much of a problem but you have to be going at more or less the speed of the trough and a new presence on the road has to be quite strong for. philip jones and rides his

bike everywhere he cycle some 20000 kilometers e.-m. . octet finished films and his family are pleased that more and more london as are discovering the joys of cycling. that will cycling enthusiast from the time when young children grow that bikes to school. that's still something of an oddity in on time but that could soon change. in school. then if they get people cycling in the next generation i think the bethany be more comfy than that on the by a person living they should just go ahead and close 50 percent. side streets just. to cause don't need to go on 50 percent so give us access to everybody. cause as much as possible. those kinds of demands get under his taxi drivers will riled up the city's cabbies are among cyclists gracious critics.

who do want to get rid of all the. they would and then uses the traffic at the moment is terrible so i buy cars in. roads or whatever making more salk alliance is just going to make the traffic even worse stages because half the people that saw it drive the marmot don't know the high white cars on the small percentage of the highlight charge. editor. so this should be some sort of a test for cyclists and yet london's in a city is currently swarming with bicycles as the qur'an the crisis in a new age of majority. cyclists now have some powerful supporters behind them there will be a huge amount of planning going into helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and this will be i hope and of that my riding for a while as a former secretary of transport i would agree this is should be

a new golden age for cyclists but they must act fast when commuters return on mass and won't be enough buses or trains to accommodate them and to take it to social distancing missions if even a small percentage of these commute to start using cars instead london will be fixed with 10 children. the temptation to get into medical will be very very strong and understandable so i think we've got a short window of time to reach out to both the politicians and to the public at large to say there is a better way of to. manage the city london's financial district is leading the way . i am during the day access is restricted to process and bikes only. and sidewalks are being widened to give kids estrin small room. and in some residential districts streets are being clueless to 3 traffic drivers

a having to find others will say. 1 0 oh. this just in these few weeks was amazing opportunity to connect a lot of the unconnected parts to the local councils on board to get the local roads designation or so i could do to stop this through universal. during the corona crisis london fields have become more like bike friendly amsterdam. philip staunton and his family hope it will stay that way they this new golden age for cycling seems almost too good to be true. when the cycle find struck eastern india in mid 2020 the world heritage site of the sun the bones wasn't spears located in the bay of bengal it constitutes the largest

mango forest on earth and is at the receiving end of many in bad mental calamities local communities are now putting their heads together to find long term sustainable solutions to improve the living conditions in a place they call home. pan had barely come and gone when help arrived in the sunderbans. volunteers from the quarantine students network set up pumps to expel the salt water that had collected in the fish ponds. the immediate aim of the emergency assistance was to enable locals to return to fish farming and also prevent an outbreak of disease. public. health and hygiene are seriously disrupted here and need to be restored the stagnant water is dangerous as it can lead to gastro intestinal diseases as well as skin conditions and then there is the often ignored issue of snake bites snake bite. this fish farmer however no longer sees

a future here for herself and her family. what can we do we are dependent on relief now.
