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 one, just 7 out of the $120.00 seats in the connected. i think it's a bit of a disgrace that someone who is elected with only 7 mandates is the person who decides the fate of the country. i think that it's good for is 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 government like this 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 me forgot, was them or not the candidates, lemon? shallow bennett would have his hands full guiding a coalition that spends the entire political spectrum. and israel would have its 1st taste of the post. now who era, for as long as it left of him on the story, i'm joined now by political and leo analyst, dahlia schindler. and she's a fellow at the century foundation and joined us from tell of if welcome, nestali bennett has been described as an ultra nationalist. if he governs treated those valleys. what would that hope? what would that mean to hopes of resolving is israeli palestinian conflict? well, it would maybe help resolve the israel palestinian conflict in the eyes of israeli right wing national. i just want to point out that the bennett horn was among the 1st israeli politicians in modern times to actually actively campaign on annexing

large portions of the west bank. as far back as leaf 2012 long before mister nathan, yahoo was actively advancing an annexation plan from april 2019. bennett would be happy to resolve the conflicts based on annexation, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon. i think when you asked about resolution, you were primarily talking about negotiated agreements with the palestinians, probably based on, on the 2 state solution or something like it, it doesn't look very official for the prospect of that kind of solution. because necessarily bennett and his party is basically dead gen tuesday solution and he's not the only one you don't sorry, party. all new hope is a break away from the could. he's been a little bit less clear on exactly what he wants, but it seems that he is not exactly a supporter of a palestinian state next to israel. and so they won't be the more hard line aspects of the coalition. we shouldn't remember that necessarily been and as you pointed out, you will be 1st in a rotation for prime minister. but with 60,

in the coalition doesn't have 17 because one of his people on his list detected from this block. and the coalition is made up of 61 members. he is still a minority, and i don't, you know, we have to contend with competing views of a number of other parties who may have somewhat different views. but i don't see any big breakthroughs coming through for these really helped me set aside the path forward is complex on that front. there already, as we saw at the top of our bows and people celebrating in the streets, the end of netanyahu's era. they perhaps underestimating this man's political survival skills. well, that is the question. everybody's trying to figure out. i mean, many people have bought this one. yeah. who was wrong leader leaving the country history for so many years. that idea of getting him out. sorry. seems like somewhere between the session and impossible. and so yes, some people are celebrating. but 1st of all, there is still

a procedural hurdle in the past. it was simply a technicality, which is the swearing in by the both to take place some days after somebody announces that he has where she has been able to form a government in this case, is it even that is becoming politicized. the person who has to advance mode is the chairperson of the speaker of the who is of the could and yahoo, boylen. and he is expected to drag out that process longer than usual in the hopes that buying more time might allow us on yahoo to convince some of the makers from the parties that have agreed to go into the coalition. not to go into the coalition and change their votes, they would need a quite a number because it's not a matter only of having one fewer than 61 vote, which is a majority needed to majority for the coalition. they would have to reduce the number of those in support of that party to fewer confidence. those then non then the no vote because all you need is a simple majority government. so i think that it would be hard for them to actually

care down at this stage, but not in analysts. dolly i've seen lynn, thanks so much. well, if the coast of sri lanka, a method cargo ship is sinking as it drops down into the ocean over $1000.00 containers of chemicals, going down with the experts, fear the scale of the environmental disaster. if all of the cargo is lost already, local authority, say dead fish and turtles in plastic debris, a covering nearby coastlines, the flames may have been put out. but authorities in sri lanka see the worst, maybe yet to come there preparing for a possible oil spill from the m. b express po, which is thinking of columbus main hobble may never know if the ship things the oil and the ship will leak to the ocean. and the beach and our fishermen will lose their job. we cannot allow that. you get updated in the behind is happy then the

local residents are ready reeling from the disaster. billions of plastic pellets have washed ashore, prompting a fishing ban and concerned for the environment. and i want to find out about the ship is causing environmental damage in the local area. it's fuel is mixing with the sea water that increases the mercury level in the fish in the water. so we can't really eat the fish. what will happen to them in the whole system? it does them in the ocean it as a living beam and fish and corners. lisa had been destroy the vessel which was ablaze. the 12 days had nearly 350 tons of oil in its fuel tanks. tons of toxic nitric acid was also in its cargo,

among other chemicals. a criminal investigation has now been launched into the countries was maritime environmental disaster. jamila, his saying is the deputy editor of the daily mirror, a newspaper in colombo, welcome divers from the navy. have been assessing to see if the ship will spill it . oil. what's the latest on that? when it's nighttime hang campbell and then the, what the latest i have from the navy is that it and bill has not been detected just a few hours ago. there was some pension and some kiosk which was created because they saw some water emerging on the surface of the seeds, but they said on me and they brought things to them. day the bad water reach they feed was trapped in between the container teams on stand by the app. what is happening on top of the renters? because they're not making even the moment go by where they want neglected because

they feel that and i feel maybe even at any time, even during the night tonight, the operations will continue to watch out for an hour. but what we have right now is that it's still not started and investigation. so i actually on going to see if the, the 301 times of heavy fuel which they express was carrying, has in fact got one in the fire. we just have to wait till morning to get an official confirmation on that investigation. the now looking at how this could happen, what do we know to this point? well, up to now what the noise. i was just having a cardio check on the minutes ago, and they said that probably one of the containers had leaked when the ship was on its way from an indian port to the columbia port. and this may be the container which was carrying the nitric acid, however, investigations are going on for them to officially announce anything the captain of

the ship. the crew members of the ship has been question because they have been detained. they're actually being held up at the daily colombo. so what the officials believe is that it may have been due to a leak from the night to get the container. but we get to hear more about that. you know, how widely will this disaster impact? sure. lincoln's when it gets already impacted. because right now we have a fishing banding starting from the south to the record. and along the sports, we have thousands of fishing families living for now preventive from going to see which means that they're likely in the and as we speak, the thousands of people who died on the beaches carrying off the clean up operation because there are millions of drastic, we watch a show from one of the contin. murray. nice has to basically been completely

destroyed because we've been having fish and you're not all dead watching the show . people are prevented from going on to the beaches to the public have want people not to touch anything because they maybe had the material and going forward. this might actually impact our tourism industry. is your mother who's saying thank you so much. okay, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. and for a week is who fled from china to took you have described forced abortions and torture by chinese authorities in gen province. i was speaking a head of a people's tribunal in britain, which is investigating if james actions against the ethnic group amount to genocide, miasca and capital cobble a bomb ripped through a minivan, killing at least 4 people. it's the 3rd time commuters were targeted in the city in

just 2 days. police said the attack took place in a she has other neighborhood. the minority group has been a frequent target of military graces, kicked off a mass machination campaign for asylum seekers living in refugee camps on its islands. it comes months after the 1st jobs will offer to the general public. government has been criticized for being slow to inoculate. migrants at risk in overcrowded camps with poor sanitary conditions will awaken go africa. the most active volcano erupted in eastern democratic republic of congo. the city of gun was flooded with lava and thousands of locals were forced to flee the area. now people are slowly beginning to return to the area, looking for what remains of their homes and their livelihoods. they w correspondent, mario molar is in the city to meet with some of those impacted. masika house was lost everything. her house where she lived with her children and her

family business. the entire life she had carefully built up over the years, consumed by flames in a matter of seconds. was so good. we decided to flee, hoping that lava would not affect her house. but on sunday, when he came back, everything was gone and we were left with nothing. she had no time to take any belongings with her. now she's living with friends, but could only take 2 of her 10 children, the others i was neighbors. one here, one moment. okay, i'm can i, lo, it's making me very sad, but there's nothing i can do about it. like messy get over. 4000 people have lost their homes and the entire livelihood. some of them found refuge at friends, houses, or in nearby towns, but now they depend on humanitarian assistance in order to survive me. why was

there no warning for goma? about 2000000 people live in the area, the director of the coma volcanoes. recess, the world bank did not renew the funding for their work. with no funds, they were unable to monitor the volcano property. in october, the internet was cut off that caused problems. we have stations that 150 kilometers away, but then we didn't have enough fuel to get there. but because you know, from when the internet is working, the observatory receives data from sensors on the volcano every 4 minutes for 7 months. that was not the case long. everyone knew that we didn't have the means that we worked with difficulties. but some vocal knowledge is say, there were a clear signs that they will cain or could erupt in the next few years. civil society activists say the aimless, squarely with the government and the good mobile cane observatory itself. no sankey,

for over there if they were corrupted. if they didn't spend money for j founded by bank, they, we could prevents. they been dead right now because it isn't bothered who is responsible. all she cares about is trying to rebuild her life. going up i seeing in the z what there is nowhere else. i can go. there's only one goma. there's only here for me to stay with my children yet. don't know what the run like my speaker, the people who live under the shadow of one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes . they can only hope the city will be better prepared by the next time it erupt. some 40 years ago, the world received its 1st report of what would become known as age, decades of knowledge gathered by its researches since then has helped create some of the vaccines currently being used to fight the corona vars. now with cupboard 19 vaccinations, gaining speed, there is a renewed push to beat aids and the

h i v virus that causes it the scientists were able to develop effective vaccines within months of the outbreak of the corona virus pandemic. for 2 reasons. firstly developed countries poured billions into vaccine development in record time. and secondly, scientists were able to build on decades of aids and cancer research. the m r n. a vaccines developed by madonna and by and take a proof of that. the idea behind these genetic vaccines is that people are injected with a blueprint for a particular element of the virus. in the case of the corona virus, this is known as the spike protein. the process means the body starts producing these proteins itself. the immune system that recognizes that it's coming under attack and starts to fight back. no vaccine has been found against aids,

which weakens the immune system because h i, viruses mutate so quickly. they also attack the immune system directly, which means the body is unable to fight back. but the doctor and experimental results games during research into corona virus vaccines have also given the search for an aids vaccine. i terrific boost scientists have been able to obtain a lot of new data in a short time. the 1st positive results are already being seen. madana is planning to begin to clinical trials of its m r n a h i v vaccine by the end of this year. all right, let's dig deeper into this with andrew freedman. he's an infectious disease expert ad kind of universe to be in wells. welcome, andrew messenger r n. a base vaccines have been hailed is a game changer in the fight against because 19 pandemic. how much of a game changer ave when it comes to finding a queue of the h i v aids. i've seen it certainly. i think it's too early to say it's

a game changer. the initial result from a single child that we've had so far in early clinical phase one child has been very promising in terms of their ability to stimulate production of what we call growth neutralizing antibodies. but we're a long way off, i think saying that this fact scene is going to work as a preventive table or repeating treatment type backseat or a, trying to be certainly an effective a trying to be boxing would indeed be a game changer. what exactly in simple terms is the, is the advantage of in our, in a technology in this context, we know it difficult, it's going to be but what are the advantages when a number of advantages of them are in the backseat, they've been around for a long time and they've been used in animal studies a long time, so we know they what we know, they stimulate effective immune response. we also know that you're not injecting it allow you organism a life. you know, you're not giving dna, princeton,

dna vaccines which could integrate into into house cells. so they're relatively short lived, easily adaptive so you can change the sequence of the r n a to produce specific antigens. if a virus changes are, if you take you kind of depth of axioms relatively easily and they're relatively cheap and easy to produce, allison phase far more complex than for example, the koran of ours. that causes covered 19. what other main obstacles when it comes to applying this to it's well, there are many differences. h r b infection is a chronic infection. once you have it, you have it forever in except for the couple of cases that have been killed by bone marrow transplant. but, but a time b is a very, although it's also an r n a r is like they have a 19 virus, it tastes extremely rapidly, they replicate very quickly. and so we, in fact, in any one, in fact,

it's not going to be constrained that the virus and so finding a vaccine that will, that prevent all of those different strains and all the different genic variation is extremely difficult. and of course, i've proven, extremely difficult with all the different childs that have been undertaken so far that and not be successful. and a lot of money has poured into covet 19 research necessarily. and thankfully, in the past months, if the same had happened with h, i v years ago, could we have had a breakthrough sooner? well, it has been a lot of money. it's been a huge amount of work over years with where we're trying to develop a vaccine in lots of different trials. we should be in the stages of the promising but a prove disappointing. but i think a lot of them, they showed that we did not have the same sort of technology that we have now an inclusive cobra 19 and come along say, 10 years ago, we would not have been able to develop nearly so quickly. we wouldn't have

a working in yet. so i think it's difficult to really to, to say that certainty and are afraid men from kind of universe the thanks so much to support the american football. the national football legal nfl has agreed to end racial discrimination in settling concussion both sides from players. the nfl has been using a formula that assumes black players have lower cognitive function prior to injury, a practice known as race norming. it's been used to work out the amount of compensation of play is due for brain injuries suffered while playing football. the nfl is played follows a civil rights law suit from 2 black former players. while washington correspondent stephens amongst joins me for more in the story stiff and the nfl is a strange world. we should acknowledge that. but even still, how was this practice still being used in 2021?

cheer beats me to i don't have an answer on this, but it's good that they're finally clean up their act and get rid of it. i mean, race norming that we use this kind of term or the n f l uses this procedure basically, or standard in 2021 is just mind boggling. now this all stems as you know, and our viewers probably know from a settlement from 2013, the nfl agreed to pay out $1000000000.00 to players retire, read, retired and f l players who suffer from dementia early on said all moderate dementia and all timers, now the key here is as you said, with this res norming, procedure or standards. it was assumed medically, magically that black players have a less of a bar to feel pain. and therefore, they weren't allowed to make their claims to get their award so called to watch,

meaning a pay out from those $1000000000.00 just for contest. tom context, this is not the 1st time the nfl has been in trouble over perceived racism. yeah, of course not. you remember i remember everybody remembers captain nick the capital case about 5 years ago. you know, when calling kevin, he took me to protest police brutality specifically aimed and racially biased as african americans and black americans. yeah, he didn't play ever since he's now still a free agent. and despite the commission of the m f l, trying to get him some deal, the owners all by white of the nfl teams refused to employ mr. capitan, still a free agent and civil rights rights activists now. so with this latest soccer in mind and with the catholic soccer in mind as well,

how do the nfl and black players move forward after all of this? good question. well, i want to limit the last last words here because loss of where it's here because you see the n f l is a major institution in the united states and the nfl makes a lot of money. and of course, there's 2013 settlement to pay on 1000000000 dollars for retirees for n f l players who really suffered injury to their brains do playing in the n f l. so long now, years later, 8 years later they are getting rid of i mean, race norming. that took an awful long time, i think black players and every n f l player should apply pressure on the n, f l as an institution continuously to get rid of things like this. and i think there is no other chance for the n f l as doing so,

following suit and filled with our to watch. and it's also hard to look always different. the ones thank you so much. you're watching day double the news focused on the europe is up next time will be back with more world news at the top of the news the news, the news
