2:00 pm
me the, the, the, the, the headlines and it's been mean, you know, he's long range. his re, leader comes to an end as a parliament in you extremely fragile coalition for served to come, restoring contact and organizing direct dialogue, slide to to expect cation for the upcoming summer with joe biden. also to come in review of the week, the french president get slapped in the face while guessing up close and over the crowd is supposed to support his in the science of from and after being banned from operating in nigeria, twitter christ bows, saying and open him free internet is
2:01 pm
a basic human rights while at the same time centering its own uses in the united states. ah, i welcome you, watching art international. just go 9 o'clock in moscow. now we'll start with that used to steam because been minyard netanyahu's 12 year rule is israel leader has ended with parliament just the proving a new government right wing. a. miss holly bennett from the amena party will become head of state. his coalition does consist of 8 factions, enough to give it the slim missed one seat majority. let's get more now from our correspondent for to slay. he joined just from television. paula, this news just him, but as many people were predicting. yeah. can ya? he's rain is over what it does for now. i mean, it was a very, very slim majority that voted in the new is way,
2:02 pm
the prime minister and the new government. it was 60 in favor and 59, oppose. but that is enough to see the 12 year rain all the time. yahoo! come to an end. this is not usual. 36 government. now it has been met with applause and excitement in parts of the country. so in the past that have been lobbying against yahoo and this is what we saw amongst the various different parties that came together to form the coalition, which comes from both the wind and the left and the center. they are very different on many different political issues. but they still have the same agenda when it comes to no more midtown, yahoo! the incoming prime minister is not to leap in it. he is the leader of the yamuna party, which means rights at the party on the rights of the political spectrum. but it's not going to be an easy time for him. he is seen as someone who has betrayed his loyal base. and he was voted in with just 6 mandates out of
2:03 pm
a 120. meaning that you only had something like a 180000 people voting or him out of the entire israeli electorate. not been on the streets talking to people who voted for bennett. they feel to call them that he stole the vote. and at the same time, you have people who are against mcdaniel, who, and don't mind that he joined the coalition just as long as miss on yahoo is out of power. i think the vendor has gone too far by becoming prime minister. he's going to be a prime minister against all his principles, against all his opinions is about just not be, be there isn't anything else that brought these parties together. i think that someone was 6 or 7 mandates is not worthy of being prime minister of the country of israel. it's a very simple thing. the people have spoken letting yahoo received 30 mandates. he should be prime minister. that's what i think it is not fair. what they have done,
2:04 pm
we voted for someone and we got something completely different. where are our boats? i gave my boat to someone else. we have all given our boat and suddenly everything turned round and bennett was voted in regard to it from becoming a successor shape from becoming something we didn't want it to be from becoming something dark and dangerous. he's been a whole lot to to go ahead and you now a hit the vote. natalie bennett tried to trace the special parliament station, but he was constantly hickle's. he was caught a liar, quite a few members of parliament were actually taken out by security forces for
2:05 pm
disrupting the the station itself. and the could give one a sense of just how difficult it is going to be for natalie bennett to try and bring people together to support this new coalition government as one at yahoo. he has promised that he will not be silenced. he says that the length of his will be, in other words, the right wing party will not be silent. and at the same time, he called bennet the greatest ford in israeli history. so nothing had been cut out for him, but he is sending and benjamin netanyahu to the opposition way, he'll now become the leader of the opposition. and let me just mention that he has been in the position twice before and managed to come from the need of the opposition to become prime minister as well. so that is something that might warn people that it's perhaps just a little too early to completely wiped him out of the history book. shouldn't say by, by just yet. ok, thanks. porter, that was poor slee. they're coming to us from television. we can now go to
2:06 pm
jerusalem to get more reaction, political analyst, mitchell barrick, join just from there. you very welcome, mitchell. thanks for coming on. what's your reaction to this? many people, of course, were predicting that this would happen, but i suppose the question is how long can this coalition last given that it is so fragile? well, 1st of all, it's an amazing thing that it's happened. i mean, you know, we all thought it was going to happen, but until it happens in israel, it, it was down to the wire and no one really knew and it's in. yeah, i was trying to convince the members of connecticut early this morning including by using the army and police to try and almost threaten one of the arab law makers by having a demolition of a house that was slated for demolition. but it is an exciting moment. i mean, bennett gets in with 60 versus 59 date. so it's, it's not even a full majority of the connecticut at $61.00. but he does have
2:07 pm
a safety net among the israeli arab parties, meaning, missouri bosses party of fours in his coalition. but he can possibly get boats from the joint list from my to be from i'm in odessa and in fact some of them voted for the speaker of the of the israeli parliament who got 67 votes. so yeah, everyone is saying that it's not going to last or might not last or some people are saying that because it's 60 to 59. but remember, now the momentum is with natalie bennett and that with benjamin ethan. yeah. because natalie bennett is the prime minister of israel. he's the winner. he's the prime minister. so people will naturally gravitate to the person in power to the person who is running the country. and they may be able to pick up one or 2 more seats, or one or 2 more supporters, or at least not opposition. whereas it now has his work cut out for him as being a head of the opposition who is basically lost after 4 elections. and he has
2:08 pm
a mutiny within his own party of people that are say, had you step the side, we could have a liquid government is the danger for the coalition. know the fact that it is made up of so many different groups. inevitably, they will argue amongst themselves and we could see defections. i mean, they are very, very different and that is unlike there are other governments that we've had, we've had, have national unity governments where there were differences. we've had had parties on the right, competing to out right each other out flight each other on the right. but the fact that there is such a wide range of parties at this point. the fact is, is that it's in their best interest to keep the government going as long as possible electrically, if they would have to go to elections now, it would not be such a good thing, not for them personally, not for their parties. and there is a glue that is sticking them together. first was to get rid of it now to move on and govern the country. now they're all governing and they have to see how they can
2:09 pm
do that. and because bennett is not a strong prime minister who comes in with a lot of mandates and a charismatic personality. and you know, the respect of all the other coalition partners, let's say, as much as other prime ministers have been there is going to be a lot of teamwork here. there's a lot of teamwork and the law is really that the prime minister is the 1st among equals. it's not a presidential system. and i think this is the best example so far of a 1st among equals because it is really a cabinet of equals. there will be 2 prime ministers in it, one now you're lucky later. and they will have to work together. and if they don't work together, it's going to break apart. and they have an incentive to work together, including the merits party and labor party would have not been in government for a very long time. so in terms of policy, what positive things g think potentially this coalition could do? well, the 1st thing that they have to do by, by their coalition agreement is to pass a budget. there is a time limit on passing a budget which would either trigger elections or break up the coalition. they've
2:10 pm
got to pass a budget is israel has not, has a budget, 2019 a budget. i believe we didn't have 2020 budget. we didn't have, we were working on election budget. it's not healthy, it's not good for the economy. so the 1st thing is, is the passive budget, the next thing is, is to get the country, the economic economy stimulated after the corona virus. and then there's a lot of other legislation which they're going to be working on, which is for the good of all the citizens. and, but it was very clear about that. even as the ultra orthodox were yelling at him and call him a liar and telling him to give up, he says, don't worry. you didn't vote for me, but i'm better respect your, your, you, i'm going to represent your public and i'm going to and we're going to respect your way of life. so i think that's the attitude of this very wide range in government, which includes left, right for the 1st time and is really arab party. the i think we're going to return to a sense of normalcy and the, the,
2:11 pm
the tones will be lower when it comes to divisiveness and rhetoric. and that will be a well, and for a lot of israeli, i was gonna ask you about that. we've seen how we an awful lot of tension between these ready, jesus ready, arabs to over the last few weeks. you think this is a good step forward? i think it's an excellent step forward, but i think the more attention that we've seen over the last few weeks is between the israeli jews and israeli jews, the israeli jews on the right attacking ballot. the ultra orthodox parties say you're not a good jew, you're not a real. you really horrible things that would water on anti semitism. it's shocking that they would say such things. i think there's more tension among the jewish parties, and i think that will stone down as people will see that bennett is stable, that he has a coalition of people that are ready to work together. and they're committed to working for the country. a lot of them have put aside their different egos in different, you know, personal games that they want there in this government together. it looks like it will work. and the dominant force of mrs. now is not there. and for
2:12 pm
a lot of people that was a negative, so it will be refreshing. it would probably be better for them if nathan yeah, would exited the scene and not stayed on as head of the opposition. but he may be limited and what he can do and how he can fight. and we'll have to see that as time goes on and certainly will make sure pleasure talking to you. we're going to leave it. that was mitchell barracka, political analyst, speaking to us from jerusalem. thanks for coming, you know, revenues to restore contacts and organize direct dialogue. that's what russian president says he expects from the upcoming summit with his us came to part, but not imitate, and gave his thoughts in an interview with russian tv correspondent and try and gave us more details to call him bry. while this time mister pool, who was quite specific about the things that he is intending to bring up in geneva when he meets joe biden. and 1st of all, the russian leader mentioned global security. this is a very important issue,
2:13 pm
mister pokin pointed out moscow's concerns when it comes to ne toes missile defense systems that are close to the rushing borders. we have always try to behave with sufficient restraint. after all, we did not take a single step in any of the areas which would aggravate the situation. we're talking about security issues about these red lines about the possible deployment of all kinds of combat systems. their missile strike and so on. i have already mentioned poland and romania missile defense systems are already being deployed there and strikes systems can be supplied to them as well. but we have removed our military base from cuba because we don't do such things. but our partners, unfortunately, are doing just that. a lot of my book will said that he hope at the summit could at least create the conditions for a proper and fair discussion on these matters. now,
2:14 pm
the russian leader also went on to explain why the hopes are there. he praised the joe biden administration for responsible approach, at least in one aspect of lot of putin reminded of one of the 1st international decisions that was made by joe biden. and the white house that is per loaning the new star treaty between washington and moscow, which is referred to as the last remaining pillar of nuclear arms control. you had ministration led by president biden extended the new start treaty, a 1st step. i think this is a very important step, and in general, of course, on the part of president biden, this is a manifestation of professionalism. of course, president putin also touched on cybersecurity, which is one of the more headline grabbing dance in the us. russia policies at the moment. how did he elaborate on that? well, what is global security without cybersecurity? that's also something major that is going to be on the table according to the
2:15 pm
russian leader. cyber attacks on entire infrastructure and industrial cities could lead to very serious consequences. and the russian president here was clearly referring to recent cyber attacks on us infrastructure. and while the kremlin maintains that russia had nothing to do with these attacks, the russian side really once some kind of bilateral agreement, to be hammer down in this field to introduce some kind of rules. and to make sure that it's all kept under control, by the way, back in 2013, that work had already begun. but what happened next? ukraine, accusations of russian hackers influencing the us election and the work was scrapped not by the russian side by the west side. so now moscow, once this work to be resumed, agreements are expressed and the relevant interstate documents and their, and these documents agreements, contracts, the parties assume certain obligations. and these obligations and the overwhelming
2:16 pm
majority of cases are equal. both parties share the same commitment. if we agree to extra criminals, then russia will do it, but only if the united states agrees to extra criminals to the russian federation as well. the closer we get to the summit in geneva, on june 16th, the more we find out about the things that are going to be discussed possibly will hear about something else, maybe from the biden administration next. now the french president got a nasty shock on tuesday while on a visit to the side of the country where he was trying to drum up support for his reelection, campaign monument. chrome walked up to a barrier to greet locals. but this is what happened next. the the 1st time that you've been physically assaulted since becoming president,
2:17 pm
that happens in the south of france near the city of violence. and that's the store in that video present. mike on exits a hotel school where he's been taking a visit. he walks towards a crowd of people who are all behind the metal barrier, then present. michael puts his hand on a man's on the man and grabs back president michael. and before administering that, all my c slap, the security agency immediately intervened. in 2 individuals were taken into custody for willful violence against the person holding public authority. and you might have caught just re end of that video, somebody shouting down with macro ism and there is a suggestion that the individuals behind this assault on the president ought yellow vest involved and unauthorized process earlier in the day. but the reality is what this is shown is that there is still an undercurrent to present to and again president michael and his policies. those have been passed. the reforms as well as
2:18 pm
those he's attempted to pass to the front. and i bet housing is managed to do so or how to move them down slightly. there's been a huge reaction hearing problem, including coming from the government. the prime minister showing cas sticks saying that this was an attack on democracy because she was an attorney loose plus your said. so did the democracy is debate dialogue if confrontation, the expression of legitimate disagreements, but it can in no way be violence, verbal, aggression, and even less physical aggression. we are all concerned, it is the foundations of our democracy through the head of state. it is democracy that is targeted also we've heard from political policies from across the political spectrum with opposition leaders pretty much on the same page. very rare hearing from all saying that this is simply unacceptable. while democratic debate can bitter,
2:19 pm
it can never tolerate physical violence. i strongly condemn the unacceptable physical aggression targeting the president of the republic. this time, are you starting to understand that violent people are taking action? i stand in solidarity with the president. well, president, my call is currently on the to the from says it's been cold. he's taking the temperature, testing it to see whether or not he should be running. and next is presidential election. he hasn't officially said he's going to, but the idea that he's making this visit is seen as many as a pre election tool. and it seems as we get closer and closer to the election, we like to see more of that resentment coming through. sean davinsky, there will the 28 year old who slapped my chrome or sentence to 4 months in jail in the additional 14 month suspended sentence. the 2nd person arrested their 2 who actually filmed the instant, also faces prosecution for legally possessing weapons which the authorities later
2:20 pm
found at his home. now the same time that slap episode did provoke an avalanche of jokes and names on line with twitter. in particular, seeing political caricature was mocking, the leader called miss saying it's macro, and he's been slapping the french people in the face. we quite believe this is where money will microns power lies. in other words, it's the ultra personalized and centralized power of the presidents. obviously there are still people who are ready to break through rows of riot police to get to the president. violence is unacceptable, and we see how representative the political communities unanimously condemn the flap in the face. but then a sense among macro himself represents violence because it's he who authorized the use of normally for weapons by law enforcement agencies. that is why many protesters were injured last the eyesight during the yellow vest demonstrations. there is a huge gap between the manual microns outlandish promises and what he is doing, which is nothing more than
2:21 pm
a constant communications and marketing campaign. furthermore, he once again intends to return to considering pension reforms. he always has some unpleasant remark in his arsenal. it is he who constantly slaps the french people during his public speeches, and now he gets a slap in the face himself, which of course deserves condemnation. since he is no authority figure, the slot made it through microns personal security guards. this is a lesson for all of us the us state department, along with some western diplomatic missions, has called on my jury's government to reverse its decision to ban twitter. it also condemned threats to arrest uses, will lay goss. i load the social network saying it is persistently used to undermine the countries existence. it comes off to the platform, deleted a post by the countries president, which war national set persists of consequences unless they relent. but while twitter does claim that a free and open internet isn't the central human right, it does appear to operate according to a different set of principles elsewhere. suki don off exploits the free speech wing
2:22 pm
of the free speech part team. this is how twitter executives love to define that platform. the self righteousness of this is only matched by how far the twitter executives are detached from reality. lately, the band, the nigerian president over this tweet. many of those misbehaving too, too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the nigerian civil war. those of us in the fields for 13 months, who went through the war will treat them in the language that understand twitter moderator may not be able to find nigeria on the math. but apparently, their interpretation of the country's history is more accurate than the presidents . who obviously wasn't impressed and he's government wasn't taking any of that where people was born a police station. i couldn't a police way and a jury duty and us for today. it was about
2:23 pm
the right to protest. but what a similar to happened when the capital it became you selection. what are going to be formed by anybody where have gone to room? i will do for the best of my ability. twitter wasn't ready for that, and it is hard to judge them for it. they had already successfully banned one of the most powerful men in the world and got away with a consequence. free nigeria though, did something about it. the o dash, let's see. we are deeply concerned by the blocking of twitter in nigeria, access to the free and open internet isn't essential, human rights in modern society. just put everything down for a 2nd, appreciate the absolute, logical pandemonium here with me, twitter,
2:24 pm
which is very trigger happy over an arbitrary set of rules to deny people the right to speak out is trying to be the champion of free speech. you can make this up, but the band caught the eye of some politicians who condemned it. diplomatic missions of canada, the european union, the republic of ireland, the united kingdom and the united states of america, convey our disappointment over the government of nigeria is announcement suspending twitter. funding systems of expression is not to the answer. these measures inhibit access to information and commerce and some other politicians who in turn got ideas. twitter noncompliance with our rules will lead to unintentionally consequences, including twitter losing exemption from liability as an intermediary, the information most, even if it appears very attractive candidate, tend to foreign state how to live, how to interpret historical events,
2:25 pm
what movies to watch, or what music to listen to otherwise, instead of freedom of speech, it becomes a dictatorship of opinion for sole purpose. and perhaps more officials should take a closer look at nigeria handling this. because if banning a president over an opinion somehow made it into twitter, his definition of free speech, we all need a lesson in how to deal with big tech tyranny. twitter has no business deciding on what geo political figures have to say about anything because they're not. they're not informed enough to the to do so they're just are responding based on their own political prejudices. with very little knowledge about what the situation involve, especially in nigeria, twitter is pretending to be the government of the world along with other social media platforms. they are trying to institute their own sort of governmental power
2:26 pm
. the social media platform to combine have more power than all the nations of the world and effect to all the states in the world in terms of political influence. so no, this is not surprising and it's not, i'm warranted that these nations would be trying to curve. twitter is political power the video of an american father and daughter speaking as against an idea known as critical race theory has gone viral on social media. it's a made an ongoing debate in the u. s. over the role of this approach to racial studies in education. and also politics doesn't matter if you're black or white or any doesn't matter if you're black, white, brown. yeah. right. black in how we treat people is based on who they are and whether or not this is, this is how choosing think, right in critical race nearing wants to in now my children,
2:27 pm
it's not gonna happen. well, the video has been re posted to twitter, where it's clocked up more than 2000000 views. the theory itself was put forward for he years ago and essentially suggests that racism is systemic within society. but it's being wired and criticized with many calling for a ban on his teaching in schools who being divisive and damaging to students. my colleague, you know, neil spoke to the man behind that video. i just think people are waking up to what's going on in the vision that's been going on. and i think people are tired men, their teachers that are tar, that are writing me. people going up to school boards now. yeah, i think people want to stand up because they see that they're trying to brainwash our children into seeing each other for the color they are and not the character that they are. how would you describe corey, why critical race theory is proof so divisive? i would say when you tell any group of people that their whole pressures,
2:28 pm
because of the color of their skin and you tell the other group that they are a pressed because of the color and they're seeing, you're going to find push bag. you are going to see people standing up. we know what martin luther king said, right just by the content of our cares and the color of our scheme. and when we see people trying to implement that into our schools, on to our children, you're going to push back. you haven't held back talking, but black lives matter either. you said the movement is for the destruction of america under families. can you just open up that, why did you say that? well, the co founder said she was a marxist. so we know what marxism leads to and that's communism that socialism. so for me and for america, that's not what we're about. and that brings you up today. you'll be watching weekly, here in to national will have morning c plus the headlines to take in about 30 minutes.
2:29 pm
2:30 pm
so controversial that the catholic church actually considered it a heresy. now that forward to the 21st century debate around extra terrestrials and you know, just a similar thing. those who hi prophesies are existence, i feel treated as a prostate why song? well, to discuss the, i'm now joined by abbey, low professor of science at harvard university and author of extra terrestrial dispersed science of intelligent life beyond the earth. now dr. low, it's so great to talk to you on such a fascinating subject. thank you very much for finding the time. thanks for hosting me. now, i have to say that harvard and extra terrestrial life is not the most common combination of words. and i know that you gave many years to studying conventional cosmic stuff like a black hole. then the 1st stars i one day.
