Now malaysias parliament is due to convene for the 1st time since the resignation of its former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad was replaced by his former deputy Muscatine Yassin that happened often failed to form a unity government my head here says mcadams appointment is illegal performance and he joins us live now from the malaysian capital kuala lumpur throwing so what else can we expect on the agenda apart from the kings address in parliament today. Thats right now this is the 1st time in Malaysian Parliament history in more than 60 years that a sitting upon the man is being held right now and take now off to the kings speech m. P. s will need an opposition politicians have indicated that they will respect the agenda even though theyve also said that they are told that the way in how the government has limited the city to just one item on the agenda now and yet this morning we saw a number of riot police out here possibly because the government was worried that there would be antigovernment protests and there were several antigovernment protests against. M. P. s who had left the then Ruling Coalition and that to get a collapse of the previous government now. The government however has said that it limiting the sitting to just one day because the coronavirus pandemic isnt hasnt fully subsided malaysia is in the midst of battling by right now im trying to contain the spread of the virus but at the same time malaysia has also begun easing the very strict restrictions that it put in place since mid march on 2 weeks ago. That had allowed more businesses to reopen to to to restart Economic Activities and peace also saying that they could have done the same thing before this parliament to take. The motion of no confidence that was filed against the Prime Minister presumably would take place at the next sitting a parliament. Were trying to get the president to put on a motion of no confidence that was put forward by the former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and that motion has also been accepted by the speaker of the white house however no date has been set and last week the speaker said he had been informed by the government that this meeting would only be restricted to one item on the agenda that is the kings address so presumably that was still the motion of no confidence will go ahead sometime in the next city in july now but what opposition politicians and some analysts say they are worried that the current government and especially the Prime Minister yassin is going to take the time between now and then to shore up support for his government now remember they say that his government lacks the just too messy because it came in not by winning an election the doesnt have the people support it came in so to speak through a back door and they say this government needs to have its support in Parliament Test it but theyre worried that this government is going to use the time to buy support and theyve highlight at the fact the Prime Minister has given out from appointments in Government Linked Companies as well the special position and voice as ambassadors to politicians into all of the Main Coalition in 2 of the coalitions biggest political parties. As an example that its ready to do that right to florence to the malaysian capital quite an impulse lawrence thank you. After more than a year and a half of inconclusive elections and political paralysis a new Israeli Government has been sworn in longtime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his political rival benny gantz have agreed to share power each will spend 18 months in charge now a force that reports from western muslims. Even after 3 inconclusive elections and being charged in 3 Corruption Cases Benjamin Netanyahu has shown once again that hes going nowhere we thought we would with our hours of great responsibility binny gains and i decided to form a unity government and avoid a further really how far i have to look at the division and distrust remain evident in this unity deal now you know who and his former rival benny gantz have written into it all kinds of guards against betrayal sworn in similar taney asli as Prime Minister and alternate netanyahu to go 1st then gans after 18 months unprecedented 36 ministries shared equally hard. We decided to take National Responsibility especially at this time israel needs a National Government that represents broad sections of the country after more than 10 years the era of government by one half of the nation is over we are here to represent those who felt they had no voice in leading this country but dance also predicted bitter arguments to come one big difference their position on an exciting 30 percent of the occupied west bank under the terms of the trump peace plan dances calling for a delay in consultation netanyahu is doubling down was it is time to apply israeli law and rice a glorious chapter in the history of zionism this state doesnt delay peace it brings it closer because peace must be based on the truth and the truth is that there are hundreds of thousands of settlers in judo and sumeria under the Coalition Deal netanyahu can bring annexation for a vote and he time after july the 1st veto power of the terms of the deal so that annexation has to be carry. Doubt in coordination with the u. S. And must not threaten any Regional Peace treaties and now the u. S. Seems to be signaling that it wants to see a delay and jordans king says annexation would cause massive conflict with Israel Netanyahu and dan say the new government answers the call of the israeli people at a time of pandemic and economic crisis dances for more opposition ally says it serves the interests of politicians not voters accord look at how this government was established 0 trust between the partners everything through lawyers and Court Debates overriding the basic laws people who dont believe a word the other says.

Afghanistans president afghani and his main rival Abdullah Abdullah have signed a power sharing agreement bringing to an end months of political deadlock both men had declared themselves winners after last years disputed election under the new deal danny will stay on as president of dollar will lead any future peace talks with the taliban and members of his team will be in the cabinet in afghanistan. Today is a historic day for our dear afghanistan afghans have proven that they are committed to their National Interests and will share in it without the help of International Mediation we can reach a solution in a reasonable manner i would like to thank the heed of the high council for peace and National Reconciliation of afghanistan mr abdullah for his commitment to the National Interests of the country in fulfilling this big responsibility. Reaching the political agreement was not easy because the views were very different but with gods help on for the benefit of the country a big step was taken because instability was not in afghanistans interest and could have plunged afghanistan into crisis so here is how we reached this point well in february the Election Commission declared ashraf ghani win a last years election but his rival of the disputed it saying he had won the vote in the following month the dollar announced the formation of a parallel government complicating u. S. Efforts to reach a deal with the taliban later in march u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei or travel to kabul to mediate as washington announced plans to cut a 1000000000. 00 in aid and now with the power sharing deal in place the next issue will be to decide who will hold the top positions in government well Michael Ohanlon is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution he says the agreement brings optimism for afghanistans people although a number of issues to remain. Very good news but it really just takes away a potential cause of catastrophe in the entire afghanistan effort because it ghani it out to a continued to feud United States might have become even less interested in supporting them might have accelerated its troop drawdown might have cut its aid even more other nato nations would have probably followed and this could have given great sustenance as well to the taleban narrative that the Afghan Government was not serious or legitimate or sustainable and so for all those reasons we were on a path towards a cliff where ghani and out who it could not agree on how to Work Together the fact that they have this understanding now i think is very good news in the sense that it takes away that particular clip but there are still huge additional problems as you know which this deal by itself does not solve or even necessarily mitigate the end of a prominent egyptian online newspaper model masa has been released on bail after outrage of her arrest the publication says the natalee was arrested outside the tora prison complex in colorado they would winning journalist was interviewing the mother in the jail not to missed a lot of the fatah whos on a Hunger Strike protesting his detention she will appear in court on monday but sharif months or something committee to protect journalists he says the Egyptian Governments using any excuse to go off to german this critical of the system. Youre not alone mother must have suffered a lot of harassment by the Egyptian Government even allow for the one who is currently on Hunger Strike in jail he is the mother must contribute around a columnist and he was arrested after writing a critical columns. And for many reasons this is nothing. Customary for egypt we know that because it has been one of the warders deliberative journalists now since 2 so then of 13 and the government has used every possible excuse to go after journalist and this time they basically are trying to free the man of taking videos and pictures of military look aisha. And this case tora prison where many will not its political activists have been in jail now the race to produce a vaccine as a global priority than will be discussed at a 2 day World Health Assembly beginning on monday as countries work around the clock the u. K. Has pledged over 100000000. 00 towards increasing the capacity to develop and mass produce vaccines were a challenge has more from london. The government badly botched the messaging over the easing of its lockdown restrictions leaving many people confused and a poll suggests that most people now think that the u. K. Government is doing a bad job so on sunday we are being told that the country is at the forefront of the push to research and develop a corona virus vaccine 100000000. 00 worth of funding for a dedicated vaccine facility and also a new raft of funding as outlined by the business secretary alex sharma i can also confirm that with Government Support Oxford University has finalized a Global Licensing agreement with astra zeneca for the commercialization and manufacturing of the oxford vaccine this means that if the vaccine is successful astra zeneca will work to make 30000000. 00 doses available by september for the u. K. As part of an agreement to do 100000000. 00 doses in total the u. K. Will be 1st to get access and we can also ensure that in addition to supporting people here in the u. K. Were able to make the vaccine available to developing countries at the lowest possible cost but heres where the governments messaging gets a bit confusing because the Oxford University astra zeneca tie up has been talked about as being able to pump out 100000000 doses of vaccine by september when u. K. Citizens being 1st in the queue but as far as were aware no vaccine actually exists yet and writing in the mail on sunday the british Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned everyone that the path of getting to a vaccine was still a long one and he even said that we might never get to one being developed.
