and mr netanyahu has appealed to the protestors for calm. ave these reforms proved so contentious? these are the 11th week of protests over prime minister netanyahu's plans to overhaul the justice system. his reforms would give the government decisive control over the committee which appoints judges. it would also make it harder for courts to remove a leader deemed unfit for office. mr netanyahu says that the reforms would in fact stop the courts over—reaching their powers. but others say it's a threat to democracy which serves only to benefit the prime minister who's facing an ongoing corruption trial. the defense minister yoav gallant was sacked after he became the first member of the cabinet to call for a pause to controversial plans to overhaul the country's court system. president herzog has also called for a halt on the plans. several trade unions in israel are taking action in response to the plans to reform the judiciary — among the places affected, ben gurion airport in tel aviv, where departures have been halted, as you can see here

mr. netanyahu.y include giving the elected government decisive influence over the selection of judges. they also limit the ability of the supreme court to rule against the executive or strike down legislation. critics say the reforms world undermine judicial independence and threaten democracy. millions of people have turned out for weekly mass rallies against the legislation. will these demonstrators be appeased by the pause in this reform? reporter: we haven't by a longshot seen the end of this issue but i think the government will have an opportunity to step back and see how we uld and vance and how it could engage the opposition. and right at the final moment, we are left the last moment before -- that has been stopped by this unprecedented protest movement. >> all eyes on the israeli prime minister today with questions being raised about leadership. one israeli political analyst says there is now a sense of panic that mr. netanyahu is unable to guide the government in a way that is logical and

essentially for mr netanyahu's essentially for mr neta nyahu's critics, essentially for mr netanyahu'se this is something in which there is a large measure of self interest because mr netanyahu has been facing legal difficulties of his own for the last couple of years and one of the measures that was actually passed last night by the israeli knesset will make it harder for the prime minister to be removed from office. so they do see a large measure of self interest in what he and his government are doing. to what extent is he able to make these changes because of the make—up of the government in israel now? some eo - le the government in israel now? some people would — the government in israel now? some people would argue _ the government in israel now? some people would argue that _ the government in israel now? °ruue people would argue that these are being driven by some of the most right—wing and religious forces in israeli politics. this is arguably the most right—wing israeli government since the foundation of the state of israel. i do remember saying about another netanyahu gover

i think a measure of that is i that mr netanyahu since he became prime minister again at the end of lasta sort of a measure of whether or not mr biden thinks he has done enough to compromise, to offset these reforms, and the huge opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry. — opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry. we _ opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry. we are — opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry, we are having _ opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry, we are having issues - opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry, we are having issues with j am sorry, we are having issues with the sound, becoming really difficult to hear you, but thank you for that, tom bechmann there injerusalem. and apologies for the issues with the sound, hopefully you were able to hear tom's first answer at least. hundreds of thousands of protesters in france have staged more strikes and rallies against the government's pension reforms with some demonstrators clashing with riot police. people are angry after legislation to raise the retirement age from 62 to 6a was forced thro

so what does this mean in terms of political stability for mr netanyahu? does this leave his position? well, that's a great question, because everybody is wondering, is he driving the bus or is it the religious right wing coalition driving the bus? benjamin netanyahu is the most left person in the coalition government so everybody is trying to figure that out. it will help netanyahu because he does not want to go to jail or court and this would protect him. there is a feeling that this is where the country has reached an epiphany, netanyahu, is looking out for its own interest because he does not want to go to jail or if he looking out for the welfare of the entire society? what is significant is in no defence minister and israel's history has ever been fired after a coalition was created, or are defence minister wines that this gravedigger to the national security israel, which the defence minister is said would happen and it was fired. this has never happened in israeli history and israeli people have never been divided before like this in israeli history

but tonight mr netanyahu is expected to delay the legislation.alone may not be enough to take the heat out of this unprecedented descent. and tonight, a breakthrough. in the last few minutes, mr netanyahu has just finished making a national tv address. he spoke of a dangerous clash that is endangering israel's basic unity, and so he said he is prepared to suspend pushing this legislation through parliament. critically, it is not clear exactly what the timeframe is yet. it may be just a few weeks, in which case it may not be the end of these protests. but for now, it seems some sense of breakthrough. tom bateman injerusalem, thank you. here, the prime minister has outlined new plans to tackle anti—social behaviour in england and wales. they include making people found guilty of crimes such as vandalism and graffiti swiftly clear up the damage they've caused. nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, will be banned. and there'll be larger fines forflytipping. our home editor mark easton has more. the prime minister with police officers in esse

mr. netanyahu's inability to advance the foreign policy of the zionist regime, because mr. nyahu had promised that he would connect saudi arabia to the ibrahim agreement. and the relationship of the kingdom establishes saudi arabia with the zionist regime, but it happens that a major failure in mr. netanyahu's foreign policy occurred at the beginning of the new government, and figures such as mr. benny gantz , mr. lapid, and mr. naftali bennett strongly attack mr. rouhani's government and inside, the reflection was very positive. when we see the drop in the price of the currency, whether it is pure or not, it was completely positive by the extra-criminal characters and the criminal characters, and they highlighted it in the direction of peace and stability in the region. the news of foreign institutions and governments, officials of organizations how did almost all countries react to this news? the west and the official and public reaction of the shah's officials, that is, the iraqi foreign minister, congratulated the qatari foreign minister, congratulated the saudi foreign

then we had this extraordinary angry rebuke from mr netanyahu, tweeting a series of messages late lasthese situations — that america is its strongest ally, we have an enduring bond that goes on and on. but this is a very serious rift and i think what it tells you — and you mentioned the sort of public division over this in israel — what it shows you is this issue is not resolved and the americans for one don't regard it as resolved yet. so what would you say — what impact would you say this is having on the nature of the relationship between israel and the us? well, it's pretty bad in the sort of immediate sense but, you know, i mean, mr netanyahu is no stranger to facing off democratic us administrations. there was a terrible relationship that developed between him and president 0bama, under the 0bama administration when joe biden was the vice president, and that was all about the iran nuclear deal that the americans were seeking to sign. mr netanyahu tried to derail it — he went behind president 0bama's back and made a speech to congress. the white house was severely angered by all o

i think either way, it is significant that he is, in this way, criticising what mr netanyahu is i had there been any reaction to president biden�*s comments? well, it's a little while since you made those comments but what is interesting is howjewish groups here in the states have been responding, notjust in the last 2a hours but over the so—called days that we've seen these protests intensified in israel. these are pro—israeli government groups in the united states that, under normal circumstances, would want to try to be speaking with a uniform voice but there are differences emerging in terms of the messages that they are sending. it's actually quite similar to the differences we are seeing in the messages coming out of the white house and we are seeing and hearing some criticism, yes, of what the protesters are doing but also some praise for those protesters in terms of the stance that they are taking. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: the special lizards born at a zoo in southern spain providing a breakthrough in inter—species breeding. the accident that happened her

so a slightly stronger town in terms of suggesting that mr netanyahu should abandon those plans.her way, it seems as if mr biden is going further than the white house did just 2a hours ago, when it was also talking about proper mice. this is after we first heard about plans by mr netanyahu to delay the enforcement of his plans to reform the judiciary. the enforcement of his plans to reform thejudiciary. but the enforcement of his plans to reform the judiciary. but i think the fact thatjoe biden is seemingly quite freely speaking out here is very significant. he is of course and has been for a long time a friend of israel, a fact that has been acknowledged by prime minister netanyahu, but all the same, when he uses phrases like the health of public democracy is at stake, and israel cannot continue in this way, it shows a depth of concern, i think, the part of the united and president biden that during this crisis in israel we so far haven't heard.— this crisis in israel we so far haven't heard. peter, thanks forjoining — haven't heard. peter, thanks forjoining us. _ ukraine has co

speaking from the tarmac before boarding air force one, president biden said he hoped mr netanyahu woulded. and i'm concerned that they get this straight. they cannot continue down this road. and i've sort of made that clear. hopefully, the prime minister will act in a way that he's going to try to work out some genuine compromise, but that remains to be seen. let's cross to our north america correspondent, peter bowes. peter, we have heard some farmers from president biden, is american getting firmer on israel? it is american getting firmer on israel? . , , . , is american getting firmer on israel? ., , , ., , ., , israel? it appears to be the case, president _ israel? it appears to be the case, president biden - israel? it appears to be the case, president biden is . israel? it appears to be the i case, president biden is using stronger language. what's interesting about this is that there is somewhat confused. 2a hours ago, the beginning of the week, after benjamin netanyahu announced he was delaying those controversial plans to reform the judiciary, controversial plans to reform thej

but mr netanyahu wasn't listening, and he fired him, sparking last night's outpouring of protest andent, with the legislation still being advanced today. well, it is the scale of dissent that has never been seen before in this country, spreading notjust onto the streets and into the security establishment but now into the labour unions, and they are threatening to shut this country down if mr netanyahu doesn't back down. flights have been grounded at israel's main airport after the unions announced a general strike. mr netanyahu is caught between unprecedented opposition and the extremists he brought into his coalition. how he acts in the coming hours could determine israel's future for years to come. tom bateman reporting there. here in london, prince harry has made an unexpected public appearance — at the high court. he's attending a hearing in his claim against associated newspapers, which publishes the daily mail newspaper. the case, which is supported by other high—profile figures, including the singer eltonjohn, alleges that the media group bugged people's phones, cars and home
