The country has once again found itself staring down at another deadline to form a government. A key israeli Opposition Party has now backed a Unity Government and that move would unseat mr neta nyahu. Courtney bembridge reports. For local elections in tear years have returned no clear winner, and through it all Benjamin Netanyahu has clung to power. Do you want another election . He asks. No, says the crowd. But now the clearest path yet to a Unity Government that would end his time as the countrys longest serving Prime Minister. Naftali bennett, a far right nationalist politician, he was once benjamin Netanyahus Chief of staff, as jane talks with centrist Party Leader Yair Lapid.

Dan arbell is a scholar in residence at the center for israeli studies at the American University and joins me now. Thank you for being with us. What do you make this proposed a Unity Government, what are the challenges they are facing . First of all, the first challenge is to actually for government. Naftali bennett announced his moving forward, but he still needs to sign a few agreements between the parties and then it needs to be sworn in next week, and that also is a challenge. Once the government is formed, it also faces quite a few challenges because it brings together parties from the left, centre and right, which have very little in common except for their disdain for Benjamin Netanyahu and their desire to put the country back on track. And so it will be a constant challenge from Day One for this government if it is formed at all. ,. , government if it is formed at all. ,. ,. , all. Explain the background to this, why have all. Explain the background to this, why have there all. Explain the background to this, why have there been all. Explain the background to this, why have there been sol this, why have there been so many elections in such a short space of time, and why are they still struggling to form a coherent government . There have been a four coherent government . There have been a four election coherent government . There have been a four Election Cycle coherent government . There have been a four Election Cycle is been a four Election Cycle is less than two years because no bloc was able to get a 61 Seat Majority which is needed out of 100 c 120 majority which is needed out of 100 c 120 seats. There is a bloc, the pro Benjamin Netanyahu block, which both parties together from right and also religious and religious backgrounds and there is a Centre Left in bloc, which is anti Benjamin Netanyahu and these two just dont mix. The underside bloc. Benjamin netanyahu refuses to sit still in her step down because he won seats and he is not to make any compromises over his leadership so we are in this political limbo for the last two years with No Way Out and the fifth or sixth elections were not necessarily produce any different results and therefore Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid are trying to do something new here in an unprecedented move, to bring Coalition Parties from all across the political spectrum and it is a huge task. How popular with this new Unity Government be, do you think . I think there is a Silent Majority which support this move and there is a very vocal minority which is against it. Every success of this, it would be determined over the course of time so i am hopeful that it does have a chance. It festers to get off the ground and there is a chance for it to work because they will focus on issues of consensus, the economy, getting rid of covid, relaxing tensions between Dues Mac and arabs. There is a good chance they will be successful on some fronts between jews and successful on some fronts betweenjews and arabs. Successful on some fronts between jews and arabs.

India has reported its lowest Covid Case numbers in more than lio days, with around 165,000 new infections on saturday. During the countrys devastating second wave of the virus, police in delhi have made more than 350 arrests forfraud, relating to counterfeit medical supplies. Many families have fallen victim to the conmen, offering fake oxygen and drugs on Social Media. A senior Police Officer has told the bbc that these are crimes against humanity. From delhi, our international correspondent, Orla Guerin has more details and her report contains some distressing images. This was delhi in its darkest hour the peak of the second wave in indias capital. Patients gasping for breath. A time of desperate prayers. Often u na nswered. Among dwindling supplies, enter the profiteers and the covid conmen. This was one scam among many fire extinguishers sold as Oxygen Cylinders on Social Media. She was everything to me. She was a friend to me, a sister to me. Im just incomplete without her. Ayana is a lawyer by training but she was ensnared by scammers as she tried to save her mother. The 50 year old businesswoman, seen here in a family video, was fun loving and energetic. When she came down with covid, doctors prescribed injections of the antiviral drug remdesivir. Ayana searched in chemists and hospitals all over the city. We were helpless, totally helpless. I was the one that was driving all over and my hands and my legs were shivering because there was no hope of finding injections. Eventually, she and her father paid five times the normal price for this bought from a supplier whose number was circulating on Social Media. The remdesivir was fake. The real drug is on the right. They found out too late. Who do you blame for your Mothers Death . Totally, i would say, because of the fake injections, the people who gave us the fake injections. I totally blame them, we totally blame them, so i would say the punishment for murder should be given, the harsh punishment. Punishment is coming for some. This Assembly Line for fake remdesivir was shut down by delhi police. Elsewhere, they have detained one man in this case. They have been parading suspects after making about 350 arrests in recent weeks. This Cybercrime Specialist in the indian police for 30 years says hes witnessed a new low. Its very painful to see this situation. You can consider this as a crime against humanity also, mankind also. People are suffering. They are asking you to deliver something to save their life and you are cheating them. The picture here is improving, but if and when india suffers a third wave, covid fraudsters may not be far behind, waiting to prey on the suffering. Orla guerin, Bbc News, delhi.

India reports the lowest number of Covid Cases in weeks. It comes as Police Arrest more than 350 suspected fraudsters for selling fake medical supplies to vulnerable patients. An investigation by Bbc Africa Eye has found new evidence that, in november last year, ugandan Security Forces fired indiscriminately at people on The Streets of the capital, kampala, killing and injuring ordinary citizens including women and children. Last year, the ugandan government said the killings of November 18th and 19th would be investigated but, six months on, no public enquiry has been held, and no official investigation has been published. Some may find this report by merchuma distressing. The killings followed violent protests that broke out after the arrest of Opposition Candidate Robert kyagulanyi. Better known as bobi wine, the Politician And Musician was challenging president Yoweri Musevenis 35 Year Stay in power. By the governments own count, more than 50 people were killed on November 18th and 19th. President Musevenis Government and in particular his security minister, general Elly Tumwine tried to justify the killings. Police has a right to shoot you and kill you if you reach a certain level of violence. Bbc Africa Eye has now found evidence indicating that Government Security forces shot indiscriminately at people who were neither armed, nor taking part in protests. One of them was a 28 year old mother of four who worked as a Food Vendor on kampala road. Seconds after this clip ends, she is killed by a bullet to the back of the head. If we look at that video more closely, we see a truck coming at speed down kampala road. A second video taken at exactly the same moment from the other side of The Street shows that this was a Police Truck marked with the Identification Number 17. As Police Truck 17 drives past, we hear a gunshot. Gunshot. And she falls to the ground. If we pause the video on this frame and sharpen the image, we can see the faces of four men, all carrying rifles, seated on the left Hand Side of truck 17. All the evidence indicates that, minutes after this footage was recorded, one of these four men killed her. And she was not the only person shot on kampala road. In the space of a minute or so, at least six other people were shot, and at least three of them died. A 31 year old father of two. A local man who worked in a shop. And a 72 year old retired accountant. There is no evidence to suggest that any of these people were rioting. In their village in eastern uganda, the family have been left to raise the children orphaned. We put the allegations contained in this report to the ugandan government. They told us Security Forces had been deployed to quell rioting. They acknowledged that four people were killed on kampala road, but said these deaths had been investigated and attributed to stray bullets. Merchuma, Bbc News.

The South American Football Federation has confirmed that this Summers Copa America will not be held in argentina. The news comes just two weeks before the tournament was due to start. So how unprecedented is this move . Heres the bbc� s South America Football correspondent tim vickery. I well remember the Copa America in colombia exactly 20 years ago, the first time they had ever staged the tournament and that was in Doubt Right up until the kick off because of the political situation in colombia at the time. At the last minute, argentina announced they would not be turning up. The Copa America has had a long and varied history. Sometimes things do go down to the wire. This one always seemed to be ill fated. Colombia and argentina, two countries at opposite ends of a very large continent. There were a huge logistical problems and now it will not be Colombia Or Argentina and we wonder what will happen. There are two likely scenarios. One is that its shifted to another country. The united states has been cited but, given the lack of time and the requirements to get visas for those involved, that is not looking very likely as i speak. Chile could be more likely, the country in South America most advanced with vaccinations. Another alternative could be to scrap the competition altogether. The South American federation are reluctant to do that this is a big Money Spinnerfor them. But it would give space for the continent to catch up on its backlog of World Cup qualifiers. These are the two possible outcomes. Either the competition is moved elsewhere, at the moment chile the most likely destination, or it is scrapped.

An analogy could be going for promotion and find out that you are not successful and a few minutes later people ask you what you did wrong to mess up not getting that promotion. I think it is something around the recency of the event and not having time to process it that particularly puts athletes in a really difficult spot. Hat in a really difficult spot. Not everyone in a really difficult spot. Not everyone agrees. In a really difficult spot. Not everyone agrees. Several top players have said the obligation to do Press Conferences is part of the job.
