with explosions and key if, as the new wave of russian strikes it's cities across the ukraine. officials say russia has on least more than $100.00 missiles targeting critical infrastructure and injuring civilians. and concern grows over the health of former pope benedict. the 16th the vatican says he's very ill doctor's monitoring condition for round the clock. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. benjamin netanyahu is returning as is really prime minister. his new full right coalition is being sworn in by parliament today. the incoming government is regarded as the most right wing and israel's history, and includes several ultra orthodox and over nash horse. the coalition has failed

to expand settlements in the off by west bank and other disputed areas. it's the 6th government formed by netanyahu was still on trial for alleged corruption, spots i am. your preferences are correspond. rebecca readers is standing by and saw the israeli parliament, the connecticut, and joins. esta. rebecca, israel's income and government will be led by someone who has been prime minister before, but this coalition has been called the most. all right. and the country's history was that yeah, that's right terry. i mean, obviously we've seen a baby netanyahu in be department so many times over this certainly not the 1st, right. when government we've seen in this country, as you rightly point out, it is being seen as of the most right way. and that's because all the parties forming the coalition parties that he's had to become a be in a coalition wait, in order to form government. now they considered internationalists on the extreme far right. they were until recently on the fringes of israeli politics and now

front and center and actually have a lot of power. they did really well in the elections that gives them a lot of power in the free coalition agreements that have already been agreed. some of the big ticket items are, of course, that that control of a development in the west bank has been handed to a later policy. he's bound to expand, settlement to push in the west bank critics pulling that de facto annexation even happened. so, you know, these are more extreme policies. we're also saying that policing is going to be given more to one of the leaders of these extreme parties is going to have more direct control over the policing of the board of police here at inside israel. and in the west bank, now these are unprecedented changes and are being considered far, far more right main than what the country is saying in the past. so the parties represented in the coalition itself are pretty far right, at least some of them. what else in terms of policy, rebecca, is in the coalition agree? miss dennis?

chris has critic so concerning either things that are really concerning continually when it comes to inside israel is they're hoping to when looking likely to be able to get enough to do so. actually take away power from the supreme court . now, the supreme court is one of the only checks on the government here in israel, and they're pushing to try and be able to have the elected government override decisions made by the supreme court. that's very concerning. and now the thing that we've seen in these coalition agreements is that the government promises to look at is introducing at what they calling a discrimination will. that means that anybody would be able to refuse business or refuse pretty much anything to anyone on religious grounds at so the l g b, t q i community very concerned about that as well as other people in the community of the minority. so these, these are particularly concerning anna being saying, you know, as really, right wing extreme policies. rebecca, thank you very much. our correspondent rebecca ritter's there in jerusalem now

to ukraine and russia has again launched large scale missile attacks on several regions across the country. the ukrainian military reported that it shot down most of the incoming russian missiles and explosive drones, but some still reached their targets. these are pictures from a key of neighbourhood that was here. at least 3 people were injured. there are explosions were heard in other cities as well. authorities in the beaver, in the west of the country, say that 90 percent of the city was left without electricity at the latest missile strikes are corresponding to manuel shaws was in an air raid shelter and kia when the attacks happen. a short while ago, she gave us this update semester. keven said, just like me, spencer, ours. and sheltering themselves from that attack. it is a very large scale attack are. so it is said at a $120.00 me size flew over ukraine. that doesn't mean that they all heat their

targets because air defense, the air defense systems are do there at work or pretty efficiently. however, there have been a casualties tree. people have been injured here in keith, including a 14 year old girl. are all of them are being taken care in care of hospitals are in other regions of ukraine in her cave in michel, i am in sumi, in living in odessa, at other me sizer he targets. and of course, the target we've seen that over the past, you and mazda pass, you weeks, are a power generating facilities. so here the key of mayor is said that people had to be prepared for more, a power coast that they had to suck up on some water because the water systems are affected as well. so this is one of the largest air and the scale and a missile attack on the country as in the since

a for rather ok, po francis has a cold poor prayers for the former haunted benedict. the 16th who's receiving round the clock care as concerns grow over his condition. frances has visited benedict in his residence inside the vatican. where he's been living since stepping down as leader of the catholic church. for some 600 years, no pope had resigned from a pontiff benedict the 16th. and at that centuries long stretch in 2013 fighting poor health. since then, his left a quiet life out of the spotlight known as pope ameritas burglary. so the benedict condition worse named his successor. poke francis has asked people to pray for him at a general audience in the vatican. we're here till the boy. i would like to ask all of you for a special prayer for pope ameritas benedict, who in silence is sustaining the church as a fan,

let us remember him. he is very sick in montgomery asking the lord to console and sustain him in this witness of love for the church and christa until the end. more yet he is he not a fool. benedict was pulled for less than 8 years. he became the 1st pontiff to apologize for scandals over medical sex abuse of children, but was criticized for failing to end cover ups by the church. and although his held has been declining in his retirement, but frances is known to have said that benedict retained a good sense of humour with his brother, for they know your own box in rome and across europe in cities. many people were sad to hear the news of his blossoming help. yeah, i don't remember him as for because i was still a child, but he is suddenly a good person. he se sick. so i think it's right that people pray for him. that's a difficult guy. well, 177,

of course we identified with him very much because he was a german pope. and i have great respect for him. that pops to get them were worried because the death of a pope is very important. and we hope it's not going to happen rather hope and prayers for a pontiff who's shot and controversial. pepsi broke with tradition benedict. the 16th is now being closely watched around the clock by doctors at the vatican. and let's go straight over to rome. now we're our correspond jack kirk is standing by. jack, what do we know about the former pope's condition at this point? well also we heard po francis say that he was very sick in that the faithful should be praying for him on wednesday yesterday. a vatican supposed person confirmed that the situation that his health was worsening. we know he is in a small monastery in the vatican city, close to the vatican gardens and that he's attended by his personal secretary,

italian media reports that he at the pope benedict i. she hasn't been able to speak for a number of months now. so this isn't necessarily a surprise bearing in mind about a decade ago when he resigned his position as pope that was due to ill health as well. so now everybody's sort of in a position of sitting and waiting and waiting for news out of the vatican, which is obviously one of the, one of the sort of very private and secretive organizations. as a lot of, you know, there's a bit of a locked eye on information. they tell us what will happen next. so it seems the form of pope's health is extremely fragile. at this point, i understand that up for the current pope francis has been paying regular visits to benedict. what can you tell us about their relationship? well, they've had a, a very peculiar relationship in the sense of sort of historically peculiar because no one in living history has seen 2 papes alive at the,

at the same time they both had very different styles. pope frances is a considered someone who's quite of still quite progressive, quite open to new ideas. wanted to really scale back the papacy from the pomp and circumstance that perhaps it was seen of old. where is pope benedict what? well, probably not seen as the flashy st pope was definitely a conservative and sort of how, how quite hard line views regarding the catholic church. so they've had a difference of opinion. it was sort of memorialized in that 2019 blockbuster film, the to pope's, where it showed a lot of intrigue and a little differences of opinion. but broadly, some, a fair amount of respects between the 2 post, both the, the sitting pope, and the former. briefly jacka, how hes, the pope ameritas spent the past few years while he has continued to write letters and to actually write openly in some ways. criticizing

pope francis the sitting pope as well. but due to hell ill health has been relatively, you know, not moving very much. he's been basically just here in the vatican. as i say, he has written public. he hasn't even written to say that he perhaps could have moved quicker that he wasn't perhaps active enough in his under 8 years as pope he was heavily chris, chris. i remember for, for saying that islam was inherently violent for rehabilitating holler. this sort of in really the reputations of holocaust deniers, etc. so, so he had a lot of criticism, but in the last few years, broadly he's just been, he's just been in the vatican, living through through the, the life of the monastery life that, that everybody in their lives. jack, thank you so much. our corresponded jack parin, ronald now 2022 is rapidly drawing to a close and it will soon be time to look for to what the new year will bring. but it's also time to reflect on the good and bad. 02022. for some that means waving

goodbye to unpleasant memories and that's exactly what people have been doing at the annual good read in savannah in new york times square. get rid of. uh huh. i dashing into 2023 after shredding trashing and bashing 20. 22. for the people here this year has been one to for guess. they lined up to write down all the bad things they wanted to say. good riddance to in 2022. they range from poverty to single use plastics. a moment of catharsis, and an opportunity to look forward. so in 2023, i'm trying to get rid of a lot of south that i had in 2022. i just enjoy life more. you know, it's been very, it's been a very negative couple years. i hope that 2023 of course in scope has gone down. oh, it will be better. and for woman,

it was an opportunity to celebrate simply being alive. but this was my hands hermaphrodite. i had the where going through radiation and chemo. got diagnosed in january of this year. and my daughter emo radiates in surgery. and it means that i made it through as being why still alive? good readings 2022. a year with its fair share of highs and lows. you are watching the w news from berlin's. i'm terry martin. thanks for being with us. and we're interested in the global economy. our portfolio d w business beyond. here's a closer look.
