being sworn in by parliament to day income and government is regarded as the most right wing in israel's history and includes several ultra orthodox and alternation with parties. the coalition is bound to expand settlements in the occupied west bank and other disputed areas is the 6th government poured on the nation. yahoo, who is still on trial, or alleged corruption by new york. i wish well benjamin netanyahu is no stranger to his rarely politics. he 1st served his prime minister from 1996 to 1999 and again for 12 years straight from 2009 to 2021. yet his new tenure has critics more concerned than ever i asked or correspond. rebecca richards, why and all these they were seen at baby netanyahu in be the prime minister many times over this certainly not the 1st, right, when government was seen in this country, as you rightly point out, it is being seen as of the moist right wing 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 election 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 over development in the west bank has been handed to a later and policies that he's vowed to expand. settlement to push in to the west bank. critics pulling that de facto annexation even happens. 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 because 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 ripening than what the country is saying in the past. baker bitterest, they are talking to me a short while ago from jerusalem. now pope francis has called for prayers for the former pontiff benedict. the 16th who is receiving round the clock air has concerns grow over his condition. francis has visited benedict in his residence inside the vatican where he has been living since stepping down as leader at 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 pope francis has asked people to pray for him at a general audience in the vatican. we're here 'til 'til. i would like to ask all of you for a special prayer for pulp. ameritas benedict, who in silence is sustaining the church as a fan,

let us remember him. he is very sick, came out on my asking the lord to console and sustain him here in this witness of love for the church and christa until the end. more yet he is he not ruffin benedict was pope for less than 8 years. he became the 1st pontiff to apologize for scandals over clerical sex abuse of children, but was criticized for failing to and cover ups by the church. and although his health has been declining in his retirement, but francis is known to have said that benedict retained a good sense of humor, with brown, with ha enrollment across europe in cities. many people were sad to hear the news of his blossoming help. yeah, i don't remember him as both because i was still a child, but he is suddenly a good person, but he's they sick. so i think it's right that people pray for him. that's if he goes di bellansanti summit. then of course we identified with him very much because

he was a german pope and i have great respect for him. the tooth up have to get were worried because the death of a pope is very important and we hope it's not going to happen. hope and prayers for a pontiff is shot and controversial. pepsi broke with tradition benedict. the 16th is now being closely watched around the clock by doctors at the vatican. ethnic serbs living in northern kosovo, who had been blocking roads for nearly 3 weeks, have agreed to dismantle their barricades. sorry, and present. alexander book judge said he, i'm a broker. the move, the crisis erupted after the detention of a former ethics or policeman for terrorism. ethnic tensions have simmered since cosmo declared independence from serbia in 2008. many serves in the north still regard area as part of serbia. spring and

lose gonna big a mark here. he's head of the european union rule of law mission in cost of oak. now that was set up to support local institutions after cosmo declared its independence from serbia in 2008. welcome to the program. first of all, surveys president says the barricades in northern cos about will be removed would, would you say that's a significant step towards the escalation? well, 1st of all, we haven't seen the barricades being removed yet. i'm only a handful of small, local roads have been cleared so far, but all the major barricade still remain. and it's our understanding that yes, this is part of this understanding or, or agreement that they should be rebuilt and removed. so we are waiting quite anxiously for that to happen together with our colleagues here from, from nate. ok for all the or the tensions surrounding course about had been simmering for years. you know that as well as any one,

are you convinced that the players involved in this are committed to peaceful coexistence? well, i certainly hope that everyone would like to have peace here in the region in general. ah, we, we all know what's going on in ukraine and the last thing that europe needs not right now is another armed conflict on what we've seen here, and cause we norden causal. and in terms of relations between belgrade and christian over the past year is a kind of on and off crisis on over what seems to be minor issues such as which kind of license plate should be a be allowed in northern, coastal, in, in, in particular, whether you still been using old serbian, issued license plates, but of course it's, it's, this is just the tip of the iceberg. their whole set of agreements reached under the, the dialogue i'm already almost 10 years ago that were implemented in particular

the integration of kosovo, serbs in northern coast of or into the kosovo police force are the industry was also integrated and a number of other institutions. unfortunately, over a month ago, because of a stir, police officers withdrew, and also from the industry, which created a security and rule of law. vacuum in northern casa, in the fort northernmost municipalities, of course. and that vacuum still persists. ah, if you don't have law enforcement, if you'd unhappily, we've tried to fill it as the euro omission. we have a small police force here with the limited mandate. we're working closely with the coastal police. we only act at their explicit request. you also have k for, of course, but they're military. so for them it's, they, they don't do a lot inforcement. so this vacuum still persists that that's why we urge everyone to, to return to the negotiating table. and if there are still issues with the dialogue agreements that have already been reached, ain't they need to be resolved?

and i need to move on, i think now and, and look at the, the broader aspects of a comprehensive agreement that will lead to, to mutual recognition also of both, both countries. well, there you go, you've touched on the core issue in this saw in the tensions in that region. star beat service still refuses to recognize castillo's independence. so what prospects do you see for resolving? well, i think it's important to, to keep working. ah, 1st of all, we have a mandate to work here in kosovo. first of all, because who has made a lot of progress, i would say in terms of rule of law in terms of economic developments, there is still a lot of work to do in terms of strengthening the independence of your history. we're monitoring the industry and as part of this understanding that we hope now is has been been reached. also we will monitor cases involving our so called non majority of members of the constable police population. we've been doing this

already for quite some time. we've monitored, for instance, the case of olives, ivana, which one of the few prominent casa serb, ah, are opposition politicians who was murdered in monroe of itself 4 years ago. we're also monitoring a lot of high profile corruption cases in causal. and in general, i think we, we are partners here because to one cause we're still needs are support. i'd like to think rule of law is an issue for the whole old reach, not just in the balkans, the states also in the european union. we see a lot of discussion ah, she's up to date, don't miss our highlights. the d w program online, d w dot com highlights become a criminal.
