security of the region lasting security is only up to the people indigenous to the area seen best ravi al-jazeera. how into the news and palestinian israeli parties are recommending benny gantz for prime minister over benjamin netanyahu the israeli president is holding talks with rival political leaders and choosing the next prime minister now neither prime minister netanyahu nor his main rival gantz could muster enough seats from majority government and last week's election correspondent how a force that joins us now from west jerusalem from those talks now having this endorsement by the palestinian and israeli parties how much does that help any guns . it gives him a certain edge potentially in the numbers game that's going on he got his blue and white got 33 seats compared to the 31 of likud the party of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu so he had that advantage to start with the more recommendations he gets from members of the knesset the more that could tip the president's hand in deciding who to give the 1st option to to try to form a coalition government and that's why the p

for his take on the meeting i spoke to author and journalist ravi agrawal.g that it's actions injammu and kashmir are entirely justified, that those actions were taken within indian territory, so, india—administered kashmir, and the larger point they are making is that kashmir has long been left behind and started separate status, its unique with separate laws and the ability to form its own decisions, in fact holds it back in certain economic terms. and while there may be some truth to all of those points, but the government has made over time, the fact remains kashmir is now entering its 50th day of a breakdown in communications. most kashmiris do not have access to the internet, no place on earth has as many internet shop downsize kashmir does. and of course there are widespread of security crackdowns and even some human rights abuses in kashmir. so while india mayjustify its move, it is a very problematic one, and the way in which it has been handled has rightly come in for criticism. and indeed it has been criticised, and as you mention, problematic. sh

well let's go now to our correspondent zain bus ravi who's in tehran zain what do we know so far about this vessel. well neves what we have in terms of information so far is reports on state t.v. quoting marine port authorities in bunder saying that the ship has been released and is on its way now this won't come as a surprise to anybody watching these developments play out earlier this week a number of iranian government officials including the foreign ministry including the ambassador in the u.k. the iranian bastard in the u.k. all put out statements saying that the legal procedures to lift the detention on this vessel had been completed that the legal procedures had been finished and that the ship was free to go but anyone who's ever worked in iran or dealt with iranian bureaucracy knows that it can be as difficult to navigate as the hormuz strait itself which may explain the delay but what we know so far and several tracking sites do confirm this that the ship is certainly on its way there were $23.00 crewmembers in total on board 7 non-essential staff were released earlier in week

by the way, his tori og ravi, we can consider that the writing of history. we almost always see pictures of assembly lines assume that's where everything is built. we have seen many pictures like this where there are assembly lines for aircraft being built, heavy bombers, tanks, in this case landing craft on the left of the screen. it really happens there on the factory floor. i want to complicate that a bit today. the other part of this his tore graph cal omission is that we assume things are built. we know they were built. we read the process of construction as logical, necessary, and assume things will be better. the next model will be better than the previous model. it is obvious it would be that way. in reality, you find there's nothing inevitable about the military construction of an amphibian tractor, nothing whatsoever. in other words, it is up to a variety of factors, contingent forces, and what historians call agents, individuals involved in processes. consider how and where the amtrak would be built. i am giving you a handout already. on the top s

ravi this have been opening a climate change summit in new york, faced with a stark warning, the sea haven't even got the time we thought we did. i think what is interesting is that the urgency is clearly raising. most of the focus has been on renewable energy and energy efficiency to date, but what we are trying to really demonstrate with our new report is that in fact, the material economy, the way we produce and use products actually represent about 55, 45% of the solution space. the energy reduction in efficiency is 55% of the answer. so we actually need to connect this in people's minds and get a much more focus on the material economy and keeping products and materials and keeping those in the system for much longer, so we those in the system for much longer, so we lower the energy demand of the system. but it is very late for us to be taking this message on board, when it would appear that climate change is overtaking us. well, i think it is light, perhaps, but it is interesting —— it is late. the circular economy had an enormous pick—up of the last several years, and people a
