the news news, this is d. w. news lies from berlin. benjamin netanyahu, the time of israel's prime minister, looks set to near it's. and as his opponents agreed to form a coalition government the the announcement coming shortly before

a midnight deadline and preventing what could have been israel fits election in just over 2 years. we'll go live to jerusalem. also coming up sri lanka worth marine environmental disasters gets the worst a container ship carrying chemicals and plastics that burns for days and spills. its cargo is now thinking an oil bill is now a possibility. and india facing a new threat in its fight against coven. 19 black fungus doctors are grappling to stem, arise in cases which put those was already compromised. immune system, as heightened. and they're on the road. nowhere in particular, wild elephants take social media by storm after straying from a major reserve in china. ah,

i'm sorry, kelly, welcome to the program. we begin in israel, where opposition parties have agreed to form a new coalition government. if it's confirmed by israel's parliament that it could end benjamin netanyahu long held premiership. now, under the deal, the hard line, religious nationalists, nestali bennett, would become prime minister for 2 years. he would then be replaced by centrist. yeah, the pete. the man who did the groundwork to put the coalition together, the alliance includes 7 parties from across the political spectrum, including bennett nationalists. who is the man who might become israel's new prime minister. let's have a look. this is the man who might lead israel for the next 2 years. natalie bennett has made his political career with provocative statements that established himself to the right of outgoing pm benjamin netanyahu. this is him last year. she a bowl long enough show. we will not allow the israeli government to recognize

palestinian state under any circumstances. we will not allow israel to hand over even a centimeter of land to the arabs. this is what we are here for, to guard the land of israel. who will ship them either. but bennet is also a generation younger than yahoo has broken with allies on the religious right on the role of religion in public life. he's also comparatively liberal and gay rights and other issues. bennett is the son of american immigrants to israel. he made a fortune in high tech before jumping into politics in 2013, revamping the right wing subtler party jewish home model. he served as secretary of defense, and secretary of education under netanyahu. bennett would bring very little public support to the role in 2019 elections because the amino party received no mandates . and in the most recent round it one just 7 out of the $120.00 seats in the

connecticut. i think it's a bit of a disgrace that someone who was elected with only 7 mandate is the person who decides the fate of the country. i think that is good for israel. although i'm from the left side. i believe that the new prime minister will unite israel because it is now divided into many pieces and we need the change. bennett has promised to work for all israelis, not just his supporters and then shallow because the lucky government like place will succeed only if we work together as a group, not i, we are not, we will bring back. so we was his real secret weapon. the day of its foundation call on the floor bought was them are not leak. on this lemon, shallow bennett would have his hands for guiding a coalition that spanned the entire political spectrum. and israel would have its 1st taste of the post netanyahu era, for as long as it left and from our let's bring, and d, w 's,

tanya kramer who's joining us from jerusalem. so tanya, as we've been hearing the tale, bennett has been described as an old friend nationalists. what could this potentially mean for the future direction of israel and resolving the israeli palestinian conflict? while he's definitely further to the rights and benjamin netanyahu. we heard that also in the reporting statements on palestinian affairs on the palestinian state. he's a proponent settlement of annexation of parts of the occupied west bank against palestinian state. but he also has to lead now a very broad, very diverse what has been described as a very diverse coalition of parties that reach from know the hotline religious national. this parties like history amino party to the hard line writing secular parties to centrists and also left thing parties. so he has to keep this rather

fragile coalition together. and i think with most is various at the moment are interested in is whether such a coalition will actually work and whether it will last as well for longer time than what you've seen in the past 2 years. indeed, in the past 2 years, the country has faced for elections in fact, talk with us a little bit more about, you know, the, the stability now going forward. and what hurdles this coalition is still facing when it has been described as a very a franchise coalition. if it comes together, you know, there are many audiological differences between the party on the, from the hotline right into the center to the left. and also for the 1st time, of course, we also have the support of an arabic party, the party, which is part of the islamic movement in israel, the political branch. so this is for the 1st time that we see them also supporting

a government. so they will have to come together and some analysts say that they might talk, you know, the less controversial issues like the economy. they have to pass the budget maybe focusing less on issues pertaining to the israeli, palestinian conflict if they have the luxury to do so because they also have many differences on affairs like as the t b q or religious affairs even. so the other question that is, of course, is still on the line, this clinician needs to go to a confidence, food and the connected within the next 2 weeks. and only then this government will come together and can be sworn and ok. so the time is not over yet for benjamin netanyahu. it's important to remember that he's, of course, israel's longest serving prime minister, tanya, was the country look like without him while he won't be completely gone, he will be. then if all this comes together,

most likely the leader of the opposition, but he leaves a very divided and polarized country. that's what we always heard in the past 2 years. and of course his supporters say this is not a fair deal. they wanted to see him continue or at least go to new elections because he couldn't form a new coalition government and his support this time is up. he has been too long at the home of the government, 12 years. he also has to trial for several corruption charges. so it's, it's time for someone new to bring this the society back together, but it's probably take a long time to heal and to, to come together and to bridge. the differences in w corresponded tonya kramer integral. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news. a russian court has ruled to keep prominent opposition activists. andre people var, off in custody for 2 months,

pending trial, the former head of open russia, a disbanded pro democracy group, was pulled off a plane bound for poland on monday, in the latest opposition and figure to be detained ahead of elections. in september, the french senegalese rider and academic david d up has won this year's international booker prize for his novel. at night all blood is black. it tells the story of the senegalese who fought for france during world war one. the $50000.00 pound prize money will be split between the up and the books translator will entry lanka, a burned out cargo ship carrying tons of chemicals. off the coast of colombo has partially sunk the m, the ex press pearl, had been on fire for nearly 2 weeks with much of its dangerous cargo. falling all overboard. an indian coast guard vessel has been drafted into help as authorities

prepare for the worst case scenario. a possible oil slick. it's been called reliant because worst maritime disaster. 3 from bad to worse desperate attempts to toward the end, the express po, out to see have failed. it's now stuck in shallow waters near the coast and starting to sink the singapore registered cargo ship was anchored off for lank as west coast when it caught fire on may 20, the blaze was put out, but some of the contents of the containers on board had spilled into the sea a devastating blow to the environment and tra, lancaster fishermen. i mean, this is a big problem for the all the fishermen. i'm in the face, of course they can go to the sea and they can do the work. because of this situation. the government has been fishing along an 80 kilometers stretch, of course. over 5000 and fishing boats have been effected. this

ship has dealt the death blow 12 lives. we conquer to see which means we can't make a living. there now we have tons of plastic pellets have coated nearby beaches and there are fears that oil and chemicals may leak into the indian ocean, worsening and incident, which is already what is for lack of worst environmental disasters. and let's bring in now jamila, who's saying deputy editor of the daily mirror, a newspaper, injury long, because capital colombo, thank you so much for joining us. demila. just like to begin by asking you about the environmental aspects. what are the risks that we could still see an oil spill or the discharge of toxic chemical them to the indian ocean? well as up to the morning, the navy said that there had been no party for as yet. however, there was some water which was now coming out from us. we may have been stuck in

the containers after days of fire. but what the navy saying is that now the api pad for i've been and teams on ground teams and probably been in a few, i was the my actually have a week the fisheries, me in the future. is this the reason why i live or says that if it does happen, david try best to prevent it from beaching should already damaged at the moment to be on the promotion we can because we had washed the sho in the past few years. so right now we don't have in our speech, but there is a possibility that it might happen within the course of the day. how could this happen? what to investigators already know? where it was me know at the moment is that the fire may have started from

a leak from one of the containers. as you know, this was getting some kemi codes and some plastic. so what we do not at the moment, i'm not sure that there was a leak within one of these containers, which then spot the fire. and the sleep was actually trees when the ship was at the port of her e. zine india. and when they had wanted to turn back and go back to the port, the indians infect contacted, the sheep been said not to come back because they did not have the facility to attend to this, which is why they continued coming towards the columbus court. but now, investigations ongoing as to whether the ship had, in fact, informed the authority here that there was a possible leak on board. any so why, why, why did it anytime you left the ship to come to all that is being investigated as yet? usually there is nothing,

nothing out yet. and in the meantime while that investigation proceeds, we heard that fishermen, for example, have been devastated by this. how widely could this impact sri lankan more broadly when this is a huge beyond the fishing community? because as you know, we are, and i know the country and the income, what we get from our fish and these quite why and along the course right around the country. we have fishing families who live. so, as, as you said in your report earlier, thousands of families fishing families who have already been affected because right now, days in a banding face on fishing, all the be some of the sudden for the with and course. so when the man is going to believe that he's the up to be known because there's a lot of damage, there's a lot of devastation on the needs of the chemicals which has been washed, to show the plastic fellows which had been washed to show that a 1000 people on ground cleaning the meters at the moment,

but obviously we're going to see the ration continuing for many more days yet. so this is a huge interview on the fishing community, and we don't know right around the country. msn yet jemila. hussein. joining us from longest capital, colombo, thank you so much for bringing us up to date on now to afghanistan, where the government is most often seen to be in conflict with the taliban. but there are times when cobble needs to cooperate with the militants. one example of this complicated relationship is one of the country's most important hydro electric downs. now the kaya key down provides power to more than 3000000 people in the country south, and is run by government forces though it fits in taliban territory. it's an example of how the decades long conflict plays out in extraordinary ways. flying into a vital source of energy and income. ca,

jackie dam on the hillman river is under siege. it's controlled by the can government, but surrounded by taliban rebels. the only way government forces can get here is by air, a perilous journey run, but there by the taliban has attacked this area with heavy weapons. sometimes they've shut down to military helicopters of close to the down level. the hydro electric plant provides energy to millions of people. many of them live in areas beyond the government's control. the electricity of this power project is distributed to all of jackie district. it's clear there's the threat from the taliban and other challenges. so the government cannot collect the electricity fees, there was no liability, board number,

it's the taliban. the tax is electricity in areas of controls which use about a 5th of the plants capacity, the blurred boundary between combat and cooperation. something workers here experience every day to reach the facility. they need to permits a government id and papers issued by the rebels was still polarity to the we think danger on the way home and back to the data. we are crossing the front line between the government and the taliban. and for that several times when we were crossing the fighting started and we were caught in the conflict in the area. if we were walk you through a lot of the taliban may tolerate the hydro electric plant staffers, but they give no respite to the government forces, guarding it from there. often lonely and exposed outposts thought they were

surrounded. if we don't have a way out by land, we have to fly 1st to kandahar, then some of the soldiers go to alaska. got couple czar and other areas. but i kind of started a conflict with compromises. as foreign troops prepared to leave afghanistan, perhaps the country will see more sharing of not just electrical power to india now, which seems to be past the peak of its 2nd corona virus wave. but the country is now fighting another crisis. those recovering from cove in 1900, seem to be more vulnerable to a dangerous fungal infection. the black fungus says it's called, it's a deadly but once rare disease has now been declared, an epidemic, and several indian states. p. w correspondent, and he should die. walton, this, this report from the capital deli sanchez behind, had spent the last 2 months in and out of hospitals. then her parents got the good

to know why it was during the worst of india. second leave. she think up nice desperately looking for oxygen cylinders and hospital that she had to travel some 300 kilometer to jeff was just to find her mother. and i see you bit where she spent. c v. a few days after returning home, her mother was hospitalized again. this time because of me for my courses, commonly known as the black farm, i am described was overdrawn with patience with eyes full and sharp faces disfigured by light. steven surgeries made necessary to stop the fed up the phone with a black fungus patient in the same room as her mother bled to death before her eyes and says she cannot allow herself but time to stop and process. this trauma icon explode. 7 to even have the luxury to do them and because i have to keep going fast to do whatever it is to keep going. i gone for just gone to if i didn't,

but that i got to forward to behave like over stimulation, because that was the black longest have been declared an epidemic in delhi and several other states in india. it is not new to be, but it occurred to me that pharmacies did not talk much of the drug through to treat it. used to receive around 2 or 3 requests for the injection of this and put it in a week. but right now, those demand vent so high that it was more than 30 feet patient a day. and they were many looking for it. unless patients receive an injection regularly for several of the fungus can spread rapidly. each vial costs 80 years. as the demand has surged, the black market price has quadrupled as prices for the anti job title. the government, talk of the pharmacy like be now manufacturers,

i'm supposed to be applied directly to the booth, but these supplies will be crucial as even a thing. the mis doors can be devastating. the more that causes the black longest assignment in the environment, but can also be found in the ventilator or oxygen cylinders. these will use heavily during india, 2nd. dr. romantic, who called these opportunistic infection, these 2, when venue immunity is compromised, in this case, medical iris and the over use of steroids used in its treatment, any misstep entreating. the black fungus can be fatal. mike was it has a high mortality rate, especially when patients who don't get diagnosed early enough. so it has more than 50 percent mortality, most of the time and all surgery, it's going to be disfiguring, especially when to comment about i think that we see, i know several nuclear, you have to remove the dead tissue from the face. now, in other fungal infection,

that pre owned weakened immune system is also being reported in the us. good. one of his cases may be falling, but the dead, the 2nd being has left the housing by little bit too many more infections. and let's get more now. we are joined by professor for professor oliver corn lee. he is a infectious disease specialist from the university of cologne. thank you so much for joining us to share your expertise. and i'd like to begin by asking you, because we've heard that india has a shortage of supplies of medicine to treat these fungal infections. what is the prospect of treatment without the drugs we would be left just with surgery, which is of course, not a good option. you need usually to combine both. ok, so i mean that that's pretty dire scenario. they take your outline, they're just walk us through because we've, we've heard about the rise in cases in india. how about elsewhere in the world?

are you also seeing other cases? well everywhere that was we do the cases connected to 19 however it is very small numbers. so for example, at the moment in germany, how high is the risk that these types of infection spread usually t o or they do not spread from patient to patients. so the mechanism is that you inhale the under the unusually soil or in a matter you're in hailey, and see the membranes where it stopped growing and invading calling to be. but you don't pass that on to somebody else. so, you know, if you're somebody you're sitting in, you know, another country in the world, should we be concerned about this?

well, we need to keep of course alert, and we should do the proper diagnostics if diagnosed early, but the treatment i get that it will be done in most of the world. ok. oliver corner infectious disease specialist from the university of cologne. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. it has been called the longest distance migration of wild elephants ever recorded in china. they heard of 15 wandering elephants has embarked on the 500 kilometer journey. after straying from a nature reserve in china's south west chinese state media say that they have now reached the major city of co main, where authorities rushing to steer them clear of populated areas. an epic truck through southwest in china, destination unknown. no uncertain why this heard of 15 wild asian elephant strayed

from a peaceful, national nature as in united province. one theory is that their leader lacks experience and lead the group astray. other experts say the journey is the result of human development and the elephants a searching for new habits. house, whatever the reason that track has become the longest distance migration of wild elephants ever recorded in china. this is that this is the 1st time in history that we've seen anything like this. it's never happened before. so everyone is trying to figure out why it's happening. we need to observe the elephant further and study them. movements in the group set houses, 16 animals that 2 turned around and went home and the baby was born during the track. the herd has moved through villages, broken into bonds, trampled crops, and caused more than

a $1000000.00 of losses. and wild chinese social media is full of posts and videos of citing a task force of $360.00 people. and 9 drones is busy tracking the heard, desperately trying to keep them away from the most populated areas. to american football, where the nfl has vowed to stop categorize the black players as having a lower cognitive function than white players. the practice is known as race norming. it has been used to work out the amount of compensation of player was due for brain injuries suffered while playing the sport. the nfl is pledge follows to black players filing a civil rights lawsuit and pressure is growing on tokyo olympic officials to cancel next month's games. japanese media say that organizers have admitted that $10000.00 volunteers recruited for the games have already quit
