a late to lead to russia in the hackers. this could be one form of hostility, of course, as well. so the never ending question of the energy dependency of european countries to woods or russia, even if things are shifting since the beginning of the war there see the strong dependency. so maybe russia will take more measures to oh, to paralyze the european energy in retaliation for considering this candidacy of ukraine to the european union. and there are concerns that western allies maybe losing their result when it comes to supporting ukraine. we're 5 months in to the conflict. now. what is the, what is the feeling among people in the ukraine? do they still have the same determination to fight this invasion? i think they definitely do. i've been meeting people for quite a while now. and if any, see the longer this so war last

a new government is sworn in with. so israel going to the polls for the 5th time in just under 4 years. tanya kramer is in jerusalem and has more, tanya, israel's a prime minister, natalie bennett, and his designated interim successor just spoke to the press. how do they explain their move to the public? well, it doesn't. it didn't really come. the current came as a surprise a to the israeli public actually will somehow expected. but i think both prime minister enough tally bennett and foreign minister yellow pita is also the alternate of prime minister. realised that didn't have more options left to hold. this coalition, together, they're both praised, of course, their achievements of this government that lasted for one year. but at the end it was a legislation. they couldn't pause an emergency law that they would have to be extended by the end of the month that didn't pass. and that would have put in mr. bennett's

words, the country into a some kind of caves and it was important for them to move on in a statement earlier tonight that had already said that if they were had agreed on putting a to vote the dissolution of thickness at the podium and, and that's a, mr. la pete, who's now as to foreign minister would take over as caretaker, a prime minister. and this was an uneasy coalition from the star event. what differences ultimately lead the parties to call it quits? well i think it was a, an e, but exceed, worked quite well for the 1st part, at least of this government. but in recent months it had come on the strains. there was 1st one lawmaker of mister bennett's party who defected and then another law, vega defected, but then came back and that as you already said, that made it

a very thin over the 61. they only had a $61.00 seats out of the $120.00 seats, so they lost that one seed and was very, very difficult for them at the end to pass any legislation. and somehow it was expected that this government will not last it's term of the usual for years as just very quickly to think. we'll see a, a come back by benjamin netanyahu. well, nothing is for certain right now. i mean, if you look at the pulse, neither blocker, the right thing, nationalist, a religious block that is lead by the former prime minister benjamin netanyahu has the majority. he fitted also the previous elections to form a coalition government. but if you look at the polls also, it shows that the liquid, his party has gained some strength. but i think it's still too early to tell what we will see in elections that might take place in october. tanya kramer in jerusalem, thank you so much for that breaking news update. and let's take
