has also vowed to promote settlement in the occupied best bank and disputed eddie as the militant group, hamas face that will lead to more while and none of your colleagues are we in the hummers movement issue a clear warning that the policies of this government represented trigger point 4 major unresolved, which may extend beyond palestine that emma, our heritage over lastly, and this year is already the decades in that each and since 2005, netanyahu also wants to block it onto efforts to develop nuclear weapons. but it's not only beach contention that could be challenging closer. nathan, yahoo is still fighting correction, charity in court, and beefed up a position at home. let's get across to our correspondent rebecca readers who's been covering this story for us to rebecca netanyahu as

a familiar face. but now he's heading up the most far right coalition, in israel's history. can you tell us more about what we can expect from this new government? that's right, clary. certainly no stranger to his railing politics, but as you rightly point out, he's now going to be searing the most far right government. the countries ever seen . these coalition partners that he's from government, they bring with them some pretty heavy demands. as you heard in that report, they want to make changes to the supreme court. that would make it possible for the government to override supreme court decisions that comes in the country with no constitution and no 2nd chamber of the parliament. so many people here saying this is going to really a road democracy in the country and other similar, similar proposals that have already been etched out in these coalition agreements. what we can really expect to see from netanyahu this time round is a balancing of those demands from his right wing pon is along with the opposing voices, both within the country and around with the palestinian authority. and as you had

there with her mouth, other other people who are, who are making noise and other relationships with allies outside of the country, people like the u. s. at her, you know, the countries like the u. s. allies that have been saying, well, we're going to be watching very closely and we're going to be holding netanyahu 2 accounts and he's going to have a very delicate balance of trying to keep some pretty divergent voices happy. as we have heard, the new government has also vowed to expand at settlements in the occupied west bank. what has the reaction been domestically and internationally to this announcement has play. we've already seen a couple of balls changed to give us some of these extreme pob affections if you will, of the government more direct control on settlement expansion. and that is likely to see settlement of the later of that project from ease himself a settler, and his is pro annexation has volunteered to to, to continue the settlement. the jury settlement in the west bank and that has

brought with that from the opposition some, some pretty start criticism you heard there from hamas. and of course of the palestinian authority palestinians themselves. very worried about this. but also inside israel, people are very worried about how this is going to affect the relationship. let's not forget, this is coming at a very tense time. you know, we've seen mo, violence this year than we have in decades. you also had that in the report since 2005, this year alone would say more than $150.00 palestinians killed 30 israelis too. so people here very worried about watts settlement expansion might do for that relationship. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed. that is rebecca readers for us and we can get a round up now of some other world news had minds. the vatican says the former pope benedict remains gravely ill, but a stable and lucid. hope francis has called for prayers for the 95 year olds, which the former pontiff is receiving around the clock care as concerns grow over

. a woman was living in this house is at the moment giving a statement of what happened to ukrainian police. and you can see just here to debrief of that the me side that just felt earlier this morning. so the road here is completely litter. this is a neighbor, completely desolate in a there's a lady and his to us is not just how's it up? have been shattered is so it so so entire lives here. we have 3 people who got injured including a 14 year old girl. they were all taken to a nearby hospital, and one of them is seriously injured in the 8th mass attack her over a ukraine over a 120 me size, i believe, to have been a center or the government ukrainian government. i said that above key to 60 in me size were shut down by air defense. but as you can see, all around me where the damage is till dawn. well, i'm joined now by thomasville,

gold, a military defense journalist based here in berlin. i'd like to start by taking a look at the bigger picture. here we are. russia has been intensively targeting power and water supplies in ukraine since october. but what effect is this having in the war? well, actually we are seeing 2 wars we see in a ground war in ukraine, in the east of the cells. and we're seeing this war against civilian infrastructure, which is mostly the energy grid transformation stations, water equipment, all this stuff. so this is what happened today. again, a massive wave against the civilian infrastructure. let's talk about that other war than in the east and the south. we know russian missile attacks has been coming quite far from the front lines. do you expect that russia is going to step up it's ground offensive as well?

no, i don't think so. the point is it seems not really synchronized. we've seen these error text was cruise missiles was listed, missiles was grown since october, and this is completely out of sync with what is going on on the ground. the offensive, their counter offenses are following a completely different schedule. and so what should we be watching there specifically? we shall watch out. i don't think for much happening on the ground in the next weeks, but we should keep an eye on the civilian infrastructure on the energy grid, which is getting really, really a problem for cuba, warranties for the government of ukraine. because when you look at ukraine today, you craig claimed of 16 missiles, which a tech 16 were hot down, which is a pretty good tally. but if you look at other areas, other regions,

it's not quite as good. and every missile, which gets through mean some new damage to the grid. and looking ahead, what do you think the prospects are for negotiations? the kremlin has rejected a plan of from a present lensky this week. instead, demanding the key of except a russian annexation of 4 regions. well, the problem is, if you look at what russia called cindy, go, she ation for offer. for, for negotiation, it's actually not negotiation. it's a call for surrender. and i think as long as this call of surrender persists, ukraine is not in a position to agree on anything. all right, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on d w. that's thomas v called freelance military defense journalist from well, he is still a teenager by vincent climber firmly establishing himself at the top of competitive

chess. a 2nd place finish at the rapid world chest championship in kazakhstan has amended his place among the elite dw caught up with a germany's youngest. ever grand master. ches may be ancient, but jimmy's vincent climber is showing age is no barrier. the 18 year old is wearing the chess world that will also have new pressure from outside has never played a big role for me. and i had a good understanding of what is possible and what isn't hopelessness and buffy. i know what i expect of myself mostly at the world rapid and blitz chest championships in cassock stand, where competitors face time limits for their moves. the great and the good of chess assembled, came and made his 1st appearance at the prestigious event and came an impressive 2nd in rapid chess behind world number one. magnus carson. time is the youngest german chest grandmaster ever. he now has norwegian carlson and his sites,
