has not been seen in public since the 25th of june, so he's been missing that for more than a month now. and this was really a very fascinating stair story to develop because in the beginning, before industry basically explains that she is sick, that there were some health reasons and that's why you couldn't show up for some important 40 minutes. this meeting. i mean, what's the, what's really missing out on very important appointments, but then they change their stance. it's a daily, a press conference of the foreign ministry. they would just simply say we cannot provide any information. and so the room us, you stop, it's um, popping up and the press making thing was that they were not all sense or to you in china as usually would be the case. and um, the most prominent room i was actually that um, seemed gone had an extra marshall a fab with a tv report to in hong kong. and this news even made it to, at least in taiwan. and uh yeah, to the breaking news to the tv news, but nothing was confirmed and we don't know why it's the gun was replaced, but today this official that he was removed from his post and it is a very,

very uh yeah, very extraordinary move. i mean, seen gun was seen as a rising star within the parentheses, 57 years old. that is relatively young for the post that he was holding until today . and also he was seen as a prophecy of seating ping, and we don't know exactly why he was removed, but that is definitely probably the biggest political scandal um of the reason he is he and aging. now it's in was a figurehead for china is increasingly aggressive foreign policy. could this up also represent a shift in tone from the g of the i don't think so. i mean sitting down with both very talented in playing the both for you. i mean, having a very aggressive confrontational style and being very nationalistic, but he could also be a charming diplomat and basically build bridges. i mean, he was very actually quite talented in both ways. and his previous test will now be the 4 minutes to again one e. i think he's even the big of all for you, the,

the more confrontational, um, uh, diploma to so to speak. i don't expect like a general shift in rhetoric. and i think while china is actually quite to concerned about the relationship, especially to what you asked and there were some slight improvements we recently, i think the bigger picture will not change. and i think the more nationalistic tone here also in the aging will not change the insights for that in doing. thank you very much. i as the okay has urged israel to maintain the independence of his judiciary. off of these rarely parliament pos one crucial bill of the government's traditional reforms package. the commons come off to another night of mass protest stuff. so police use bolts comments dispos. protestors locate a highway intel it'd be in jerusalem demonstrate is also tip to the streets of to the legislation was passed. the vote for the month of demonstrations by is really

some say the reforms on the minds of nations. democracy. the government says the changes unnecessary to correct and in balance of paul that allows quotes to excessively interfere and government decisions. i drew some correspondence on exam . i told us more about the new law and why it is so controversial. what you're seeing in the past 6 months is actually opponents of this traditional over going out to protest a week by week with days of disruption. exactly. to prevent what happened to monday afternoon that the far right village government under a prime minister benjamin netanyahu is passing one of the laws of this. uh, so controversial a traditional overhaul. now this particular law basically strips the supreme court of the high court from its ability to oversee the government decisions, to strike down governments, decisions that is deemed unreasonable or implausible. that to give you some

examples in the lead up to this vote. what has often been quoted here and the is really media is the case of, for example, a, a party leader was supposed to become administered. you have been convicted of fraud and some corruption charges in the past. the supreme court didn't allow it for him to become a minister because it says, this is not in the public interest as also being talked about, you know, possibly dismissing the attorney general's. i don't know if this will happen. so if you talk to law experts you, they say, you know, this pretends a lot to the, you know, oversight of government actions and decisions. and that is why purchases here are saying, you know, this is a 1st step to lose the checks and balances on anything. the government does, why the government says and prime minister benjamin netanyahu said it again last night. you know, he's taking away what he sees as power from an elective court, giving it back to it, to the elected government officials. but of course,

this is not enough for the protest of now that was most demonstrations again last night. do you expect these protests to continue by protest, leaders have already said last night and that they will continue their protests because what they want to prevent is now the rest of the package to pause. now we're expecting now to connect to the is really parliament with go into recess for a summer. pause the holidays and next week about to members, cabinet ministers from the far right parties and those from the liquid party, mostly pushing for this overall to go through a set. they will continue to push for these other laws to pass. and in the next session, after the contest it comes back. so we understand, you know, from the protests we just, they were continue this. i mean, i talked to some protest this last night when they can come all out again. and you

know, there were many, many, which just simply shocked about what happened very angry and frustrated. very sad. you know, saying that this will happen because this has happened because there's no pro consensus and such dramatic changes on basic laws on such a important clause cannot be made without the pro consensus and society. now what options do the opponents still have to stop this? of the well we understand that the some petitions are being filed actually to the supreme court. the same code that's being now unlimited and it's abilities to stripe down government decisions. and basically we understand that the judges of, of the high court will look at that at these petitions. so it would be 5 of several of the energy goals. but also we understand the position is expected to file a petitions, but experts are bit divided or were, you know, what will happen next?

uh, what the judges can actually do. because it's amendments to the basic law is right . it has no constitution. so this is a longer process, we're probably looking at and it could bring a is a closer to a constitutional crisis because depending on but the judges will decide, the government might not go with this decision. so this is one thing and of course we already heard a protest, a will continue. we also heard from the labor unions that they might come together for a more general strike of trying you know, in the coming days in israel we already have a stripe today. by the medical personnel, real, so we'll look at what the military service will do and the other members of society, of high to, to know that has been all very strongly invested at least parts of them in this, in these protest against the traditional overall. so i think what we will see is

basically this deep divide that has been, you know, it has been deepening over the past 6 months, has actually cemented a by this low and the snow a solution yet as to how they would come back together here on until the exam of their reporting phone service and in many sense as the greek prime minister carry our custom, it's a talk is says, whose country is quote at war with raging won 5, he told parliament the nation faced another 3 difficult days. thousands of logs files, burning in greece, prompting some of the largest evacuations, the nation's history. the audience of rhodes and core, for i've been among the west, effected places. a defense barrier against an approaching vice president of the greek island of fluids that hopefully the body has to be protected homes from the police. but for other residents fight is already at the doorstep.
