hello, i'm claire richardson, a very warm welcome to the show. israel's longest serving prime minister may be on his way out. political opponents of benjamin netanyahu are joining forces with little in common besides, a desire to oust him. now the leader of a right wing hardliner party natalie bennett, has announced he will lend much needed support to the diverse coalition. a dramatic blow to netanyahu's, hopes of political survival. any more i'm announcing today before it was my intention to work with all my strength, stablish in national unity government together was my friend, jayla pizza is willing to get within the rest of the country. so miss tailspin and return it on it's off now who has been on the defensive for some time. israel, the longest serving prime minister has been able to brush off public rage over

corruption charges not after failing to form a majority government after the 4th election and 2 years netanyahu hold on power had become tenuous. this is the man responsible for forging the coalition to end netanyahu's 12 year rule. former tv host g i. e la pete is determined to put together parties from the far right to the left, including our bas railey parties, the the commitment of bennett, who leads the right wing pro set. now your mena party is crucial to the proposed alliance. netanyahu responded by painting the broad coalition as a threat to national security. she will think about it for turns. how will we look in the eyes of our enemies? what will they say in iran? what will they saying gaza, my oh,

they do in iran and in gaza. what will they say in the hold of government in washington? seattle, washington. and yeah. who knows that the biggest threat posed by the new government to the county prime minister himself joining me now from jerusalem is a journalist, a semi circle, so looked at right to it. how likely is it that this is the end of the era of netanyahu? yeah, well it seems that the quote is folks going forwards. we've now heard of some new difficulties over them. i was the minister of agriculture, but no one thinks that because of one portfolio, especially insignificant portfolio like the ministry of agriculture, there will be a collapse of the talks. it's true that we're talking about a different parties that are going to be part of this coalition government. so the question is, it's still take some time and build the reach agreements with everyone. but the

direction seems to be quite clear. and then the thing, you know, at this point seems to be quite the corner. okay. so a few small bumps in the road in those talks where exactly do they go from here? well, the procedure is the, the a, the, the who got the mandate from the president is supposed to go back to the president and tell him that he's got a majority of 61 out of 120 and members of parliament supporting the coalitions. and after he gets the nod from from the president, he will go to the parliament to the can. i said that will take place next week and he will present the new coalition government. and then there will be a vote. and according to what we see now, the current,

the parties together with the united arab list, which is in islamic party, they will also, and then it says support. and they will be able to, to have and pass the $61.00 threshold. and i wanted to ask you about natalie bennett, he's the leader of a far right party. and he shares the minister's hard line ideology. so how much of a change from netanyahu does he actually represents? yeah, not really the right wing is even more right wing than at the new l incense and he had the position. so it says that calling on the annexation of 60 percent of the west by he had a very strong position against establishing of the palestinian state. he's against any kind of a prisoner. so up with the palestinians. and he, at the time he was the leader of the settlements in the west side. so he comes from a very ideological right wing background. back. on the other hand,

he's going into this coalition which will also have the animal from the center and is the center left. and the idea is that there will be a kind of a continue with the, they're not planning. so they saying is to change of holland policy, what we're expected to see here is basically more of the same. and the way bennett was speaking in his statement today, he was reassuring. the israeli writes that this will not be left with government. and that if it will be, it will be just a bit more to the right than the previous government. and he would look, get off the line to palestinians. ok. and what about benjamin netanyahu? because he is a well known master of political survival. it particularly desperate to stay in power while on trial for corruption charges. do you think that he has something up his sleeve that could turn things around? well, seen in the last few hours,

we've seen the organized campaign against bennett again, members of his party. demonstrations outside kids whose number 2 in the party there was trying to put as much pressure on this party so as not to abandon hands. and we, we got the word that the is where the secret services are getting protection play in a 2nd, which means that they've seen that maybe her life would be left. and this is to say that you have a what we call the, the staunch and that our supporters who are out in the street and the who are trying to pressurize these elements who traditionally are right wing from leaving that at the yellow. okay. journalist, a sammy circle, thank you so much for that reporting was up to speed now. one of the other stories

making headlines around the world at this hour, around 200 students have been kidnapped and one person has been killed at a school in central nigeria, according to police and media reports. it is the latest in a series of such raids with $700.00 students, abducted and held for ransom since december. west african leaders have suspended molly from the echo was trading block for a 2nd military coup, their interest 9 months. but the meeting and gonna stop short of re imposing sanctions on molly. instead, the block insisted that it should be led by a civilian government as it prepared for election. a man hunted underway in southwestern france for a former soldier were legibly fired a hunting rifle. ap police, as they responded to a domestic violence call, the man is hiding out any wooded area of the door. don't your region? police said contact had been established several times and he had fired on them in

each occasion. when new details have come to light in the scandal over the us national security agency surveillance of top european politicians, revelations that emerged in 2013 showed that the u. s. intelligence agency had tapped the phones of several leaders, including germany's uncle marco. well, now a new multinational media investigation, the danish military intelligence unit supported the u. s. wire. tapping this is denmark secret communication station near copenhagen. dennis intelligence reportedly worked with the us national security agency from here to eavesdrop on european politicians. that's according to danish sources. a joint investigation by several european media outlets shows former german chancellor candidate pastime brook was among the espionage targets and destined todd before the grotesque that allied intelligence services spy and leading politicians of other

countries in the task. it's evidence that they have a life of their own. i think this is a political scandal. a major problem. the danish government didn't inform their german neighbors. so they apparently knew about the eavesdropping as early as 2015 . the german government set it only found out about the spying after press inquiries. spying on chancellor uncle america on former foreign minister, frank walter stein mire, was revealed by an essay leeker edward snowden and a parliamentary inquiry. indeed, it did not reveal that a close european ally was involved most esteem for now, you have to understand the system of intelligence services. it's not about friendships or morals, and it's about asserting interests and gathering information to do that for you personally, i would take the approach with them and we can't trust anybody on the me under the say the danish intelligence service. and the danish government refuse to comment on

the latest revelations. south african president sterile rental post says his country is re imposing a strict, are locked down amid a new surge in cove. in 1900 cases. from a post that says johannesburg and the capital pretoria are now in the 3rd wave. the surgeon cases also highlights south africa, slow vaccine rollout, only around 1.5 percent of the countries. 60000000 people have received a 1st dose. t w's, adria increase in cape town, says a nother lockdown was inevitable. the new restrictions don't come as a surprise to most south africans, because the numbers of new infections have been increasing in the past days and weeks, and almost reached 5000 new cases. the day at the moment, this is still far away from the peak we have seen during the 2nd wave in january where we had more than 20000 new cases a day. but it is still a reason to worry, especially because the vaccination campaign here has been starting very slow. so

erica has all the vaccines for 75 percent of its population, but only a fraction of that arrived in the country. and the president has been complaining about that many times before. thing it is not fair, that wealthy nations have stronger access to vaccines. then countries like south africa and also the neighboring countries on the continent. yes. so far, only those above the age of 60 are allowed to get the jap. so this is less than 2 percent of the population at the moment. those who are younger than 60, even if they have co morbidities, don't even know if they'll be able to get a vaccine. by the end of this year. she does use adrian crease, reporting from cape town there. well here in berlin, lockdown, restrictions are easing as the number of new cobra. 1900 cases continues to fall. and many people had a taste of normal life this weekend with restaurants, cafes, and traditional beer gardens serving customers again. after a long shut down the one familiar sight in germany,

but recently almost forgotten. now, but then there are finally able to enjoy a famous german pastime. again, meeting with friends and abuse garden. so much better to get it fresh on the tap and to show that certainly of relief. but i must say that i'm still a bit cautious. after many months of closure, beer gardens are making you has it and come back. the employees who had been reduced pay during the shut down or finally back to work. severe laws. darling again, again, it's just coming back to them before because of the need for tests. but everybody here is happy and very relaxed. and some patrons are still put off by complex regulations currently in place in germany. to enjoy any outdoor dining customers are required to provide proof of a negative cove. it has taken on the same day or of prior vaccination or recovery as a topic. what really has a nuisance i'm. i'm frankly,

we don't have enough staff to check everything. and secondly, i don't think it really is our job to police everyone, especially when it comes to identification. but i reckon that this whole issue of tackling will be dropped very soon. for inside dining, i can understand that. but just to verify all these tests recovery and evidence vaccination for sitting outside, it makes no sense. as the weather turns warmer and more and more berliners had outdoors for bike riders, ro hope for more carefree summer, including imperative beer garden experience. its top of all all around the tennis news now and naomi osaka has been warned that a repeat of her no show at the french open press conference. could see her expelled from the tournament and from other grand slam events, the world number too often not to face the press after her 1st round win over, patricia tig, citing mental health issues. the organizer to find her $15000.00 and
