hope will soon good employ forces. we increased forces levels and we do it in different arenas. not all we will seal and destroy terrorists houses in an expedited procedure. so in order to hold those accountable who supported terrorism from more wound subbing to more literacy attack. follow a deadly if they're a lady in the occupied with that on thursday night palestinian for kit is right faith. the operation was targeting bell sting in milton. the palestinian authority in the fest bank has responded by announcing it. but hoyt oiled security competition with astray as you just had israel's prime minister being, i mean, at yahoo, his vow, and a tough response to the latest attacks. i asked our correspondence, rebecca rita's in jerusalem for her assessment on what that response will look like . yet he straw strong,

swift and accurate is how benjamin netanyahu described these new measures. after 3 and a half hour, emergency meeting of the security cabinet, they announced some new measures or just read them out for you. the home of the terrorist, the as they are calling him terrorist who carried out the terrorist attack, that is how israel sees these attacks in jerusalem will be sealed immediately ahead of a demolition that has already been confirmed to happen as you are also reporting that happened overnight, they also want the national insurance rights and additional benefits to be taken away from any attackers and potential assistance or family members that are considered to be assisting in what they describe as terrorist attacks. they want to potentially revoke id. that's very contentious of any attackers and their families, that is content that i say and needs further examination and further discussion in the government, they want to increase and expedite licensing for firearms so that civilians can bear arms in order to protect themselves. and they also, it will be of course,

read reinforcing military and police in both the where both the west bank and here in jerusalem. so, so really a, quite a strong response. this is really the 1st test in inverted commas of the new government to show how strong there can be in the face of such attacks. or benjamin netanyahu, though, has called for com. he said that people shouldn't be taking matters into their own hands, that they should be allowing the security services to do their job. but many here, fearing that these measures could, in fact exacerbate the situation or a secretary of state antony blinkin is due to visit israel. on monday, how cold the us help in any way to count tensions in the region. well as that remains to be seen, eddie, this has this trip by anti blink and has been a long time planned. it does, of course, come at this time of height intentions and that may in fact change the, the substance of the visit. he will no doubt be urging both sides to remain calm.

he'll be spending monday in jerusalem with the israelis and then on tuesday, he'll be heading to ramallah to meet with palestinian president macklin, a boss on the palestinian side. i dare say he'll be urging the palestinians to re cooperate and security measures to reinstate that security cooperation. between israel and the palestinians, which was severed after a raid in jeanine in the west bank on thursday. and on the israeli side, i dare say he'll be urging and he'll be having some hard words about the increased settlement talk that has come out of the security media yesterday that has long been a red line of the u. s. government. but of course, of the other items on the agenda, including iran and ukraine. ok, you know the correspondence, rebecca, written in jerusalem, thank you. there's more stories making headlines around the world. let's look up some of them. nato secretary general un stuart and burgers in south korea where

he's held talks with foreign minister park june and other higher level officials as the 1st stop on the trip aimed at strengthen and ties with u. s. allies in the face of the ukraine will rise in competition with china. stilton beg, we'll have to jump on monday. more than 40 people have died in south west pakistan after a passenger bass fell off a bridge and caught fire official. see, the driver was speeded and lost control. in a separate incident in the northwest, at least 10 children have died out to reboot capsized in the ton. that down several children are still missing. rescue efforts underway. the law, the part of their unconfirmed reports of you drew an attack on an munition facility, a centrally run the incidents who cited with the fire engine oil refinery in the northwest. this nor yet clear if the i linked pensions are currenty high between iran on the international community about terrence nuclear program.

oh, many people think it's been eradicated, but hansen's disease. obviously, you know, and asked leprosy, has disabled millions of people worldwide. and over a $100000.00 new cases globally asked reports at every year. today's world leprosy day. he has to look at what's being done to finally wipe out this terrible, potentially disfiguring condition. humanity has lived with leprosy for millennia. no. throughout most of history contracting, it meant a long, debilitating death sentence. the crippling disease has been treatable for around 80 years now. the symptoms generally 1st appear on the skin and mucous membranes where the condition causes characteristic lesions. if the illness advances untreated, it can lead to deformities. it's caused by rod shaped bacteria that are closely related to the ones that cause tuberculosis. in fact, being vaccinated against t b provides partial protection against contracting leprosy,

like other bacterial infections. it can be treated with antibiotics, a multi drug therapy of 3 different medications, cures it and individuals. but the disease remains endemic in some countries. though the disease has grown rare in europe and the middle east, around $20000.00 people, every year, is still contracted and both the americas most in brazil and africa. but the lion's share of new cases now occur in southeast asia, particularly in india. most of the infections that we now see globally are largely from 3 countries, brazil, india, and indonesia. what happens is that leprosy is always clustered in certain communities or certain vulnerable groups, or even certain geography groups. these are very remotely located populations in remote geographies. and so on, who have less access to treatment, et cetera. so,

so it's in those mean the you, that the infection continues to try. how though, the bacteria that caused leprosy aren't really highly infectious. untreated people can spread it and crowded living conditions increase the risk. in some places, patients have difficulty accessing the antibiotics, even though they're provided for free by the world health organization. and the stigma associated with the disease means many seek to hide their condition for as long as possible. those factors and others continue to make it difficult to wipe out leprosy completely. ah. in tennis news, no voc joke of it has feet and the finest to see fast to win the australian open men's final joke of ej one in 3 straight sets out to re dominance thought. things got awfully closed and the next 2 sets, but 80 tammond joke of ich revealed wedding 637676. the sab has an i want to rec,

i'd extend in 10th australian open is also much refined dolls all time record of 22 grand slams. nobody meadows is a sports journalist covering the australian open, and she joins me now. live from melbourne. natalie, i envy you because you watched all the action live. how close was this game? yeah, this was a much closer match than just the 3 set step. not 6 of us had his opportunity set point in that 2nd set couldn't capitalize or sorry in the match time brian joke beach rushed out to a 5 love late. but stephan, it's a path deep fought he's way back in the end. no joke of. it's too strong, i mean he got to the end of the tournament, only dropping. one said he extends, he's winning run here at melbourne park to $28.00. wins in a row. he hasn't lost here since 2018. this is

a man who is perhaps the best we've ever seen. and as he just mentioned, he was rough on the dial on those 22 slants now and that definitely now 22 grand slam titles for him with rudolph phaedra, i've been retired and refunded all struggling with injuries. can joke of it become the greatest of all time it seems inevitable as far as the numbers concerned, as we know or wrong about wasn't any specific strategy and pendant was not gotten the early stages as a defending champion with a heaping dri. we hope that he'll be fit enough to compete in that friendship and, and when you had another french open ta ta, which would say he moved to that 23 grand slam auto and the rice would still be on . but we know that the day the probably more number for rough middle than i out, but know back joker beach. but he is an incredible talent. and what he's put aside, this is daily and pen to do it in such comprehensive fashion is really mind boggling. and all match point, that's exactly what he did. he pointed to the head,

and he pointed to the heart because that's what it told him to when they flam straightly and open tato. maybe next time i should remember to point to my head and hearts and i could win whatever next i do. but let's talk about a crowd. what about the crowd in melbourne? who did the root for considering last year by the in controversy involving the joke of it with the serbian support he's always really, really strong here in melbourne. and i've got to say adding god square, which is the main area where all the fans come together. the atmosphere was incredible and across the board we still are record attendance for a grand slam, almost 840000 papers for you guys. that's a record across all lands as i and when i think about know, been a couple of years ago. one of the most locked down cities in the world. we had that joke of each match where it may not defense please leave the stadium. rod laver arena to say they themes of just a packed out crowd and so many serbian fans really, really plays for him. it was pretty hot with me. not going to say ok,

well let's leave it there. narrowly meadows in melbourne. thank you. thanks having me. well, still on sport, sir. let's check out some bundles, legal games there. well, heather belin, the have fired the i head of sport. freddy, bob ich the move comes with her to us. i can to last and the bonus legal standards on saturday. they played host to crossed on arrivals when he on and where desperately hoping to see 3 points in the bid to avoid the dropped. but the guests showed exactly why the other ones chase and he will pin qualification through another dominant display. a raucous olympic stadium played host to a clash between struggling hair and high flying neighbors. union could the home side pull off or not said to dance unions, european ambitions. it never looked likely, especially when the guests took the lead before half time

defender denila do keith 3rd goal in his last 3 appearances, and yet another towering header. and it was tuning in the 2nd half geraldo becca, putting it on a plate. for pals, the green path is defend is nowhere near close enough to prevent a tap in the eye, all felt the need to intervene over a potential fowl. in the lead up did rabbit dedira gets enough of the bowl in this challenge. he did, according to the referee, the goal killed any chance to come back as union back the points. another bad day at the office they had to i 3rd loss on the bounce means they remain in the automatic relegation places. fullerniel know a 3rd straight when in shows they maintain pressure on league leaders. brian coach ers fisher cuts a satisfied figure as visits his boss in the glory of a fit striped victory over there across town rivals. for now at least berlin
