And being a cockney, our Rhyming Slang is a big thing. And rhythm its about rhythm. The words are important, but the rhythm is what they love. Hello, and thanks forjoining us. Israel looks set for a dramatic change. After days of frantic negotiations, a coalition of Opposition Parties has been formed to oust the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, from power. If it wins support in the knesset, a new government would be led for the next two years by Naftali Bennett, a hardline former settler. He would then be succeeded by the centrist yair lapid. For the first time in israeli political history, arab lawmakers would be part of the government. Ourjerusalem correspondent Tom Bateman has been following the days events. Benjamin netanyahu is edging towards the precipice, trying everything to stop a fall from power. So far, his calls for help are going unanswered. In the chamber of israels parliament, those who are hatching a plan for his demise a once loyal ally and opponent, forging friendship. An opponent, forging friendship. They could be israels next leaders. Mr netanyahus still doing everything he can to derail the formation of a new government, even as those politicians are still meeting in the building here. This is a Prime Minister determined to cling on. There he is, there he is, there he is. Then israels longest serving leader leaves his office, not yet for the final time. Mr netanyahu, is this your last week as Prime Minister . Will this be your last week as Prime Minister . Is that a wish or a question . Israel has had four deadlocked elections, Mr Netanyahu Couldnt Muster a right wing majority. On trial for corruption, with a country divided, support from key Coalition Partners drained away. One rebel is Naftali Bennett, now set to lead the new government. Hes a nationalist who opposes a future palestinian state. Hes joined up with the Centre Ground Opposition leader, yair lapid, who will become pm after two years. Israels recent war with hamas In Gaza paused the political pressure. But violence between jews and arabs erupted inside israel. In the town of lod, things are still tense. So what of the challenge to bibi as Mr Netanyahu is known by Naftali Bennett . Translation its disgusting. A man with six seats will be Prime Minister . Its unheard of. Bibi is dividing us. Because he is trying to be a Prime Minister for four times. He didnt succeed. With protests outside, the talks went to the wire and an agreement has now been signed. A picture from inside makes history in israel, ajewish nationalist and an islamic religious arab party aiming tojoin as part of a new coalition. The letter has gone in from the leader of Israels Opposition to the israeli president , saying that they are ready to form a new government without Benjamin Netanyahu, and he says in that letter that they will unite all part of israeli society. All parts of israeli society. Now this is unprecedented, not just because of the fact that right wing parties are now joining with an Arab Israeli party in government for the first time, but also because of the broad ideological range of all parties involved. But that could, at the same time, point to this governments inherent weakness. And remember that its not all over yet. Still for Benjamin Netanyahu it will be some long days before this government is finally sworn in, and in the meantime Mr Netanyahu and his party will do all they can to try and stop it. Tom bateman in jerusalem. Lets get some of the days other news. The World Health Organisation says that there are staggering health needs in the occupied palestinian territories, following the recent conflict between israel and the hamas militant group. In a statement, the who said it was scaling up its efforts in order to help nearly 200,000 people. An iranian Navy Ship has caught fire and sunk near the entrance to the gulf. The crew was safely evacuated. A statement from the navy said that the fire started in one of the ships systems. But analysts say that until theres a fuller explanation theres bound to be speculation as to whether what happened may have been the result of enemy action. President macron has confirmed that all I2 To 18 year olds in france will be able to get a Covid Vaccine as ofjune 15th. He said the countrys aiming to vaccinate 30 Million people by mid june, and added that the rule on mandatory mask wearing outdoors, will be lifted gradually, on a regional basis. Thousands of people have taken to the streets of colombias main cities to insist on their demands for less inequality and better public services. The daily protests began over a month ago, triggered by Government Proposals to increase taxes, which have since been scrapped. The trainer of Kentucky Derby winner, medina spirit, has been banned from the prestigious Horse Race for two years. Bob baffert has been at the centre of a Doping Scandal after the horse tested positive for a banned steroid after powering to victory in last months race. There are 50 days left until the delayed Summer Olympic Games are due to kick off in tokyo. But theres a lot of debate over whether they should go ahead at all. The International Olympic Committee insists that the event can be held safely. Not many people in japan are convinced. Lets get more from our correspondent, Mariko Oi. This news that thousands of volunteers have pulled out, it merely serves to underline how much concern there is the. Absolutely. Despite the fact that some athletes have started to arrive injapan and it feels like the games will go ahead, still an overwhelming majority of the japanese public are still opposing games to go ahead. We have alsojust still opposing games to go ahead. We have also just heard from the top Health Advice at the country, saying it is not normal for the olympics to go ahead under the current circumstances. So this voice against the games has been very, very strong. A petition against the games has managed to collect some 400,000 signatures. But that is not to say they are not supported for the games, as well but there are not supported. Additions for the games to go ahead have managed to collect about 90,000 signatures and one of the most obvious reason is the athletes, for them to be able to show off all the training that they have put together over the last year amid the uncertainty, not knowing whether all the training will get wasted if the olympics get cancelled. But it has really become an unfortunate situation where some of those athletes have come under pressure, especially on social media, being asked to either withdraw from the games or boycott them. Ijapanese a swimmer really inspired many people by qualifying for the games only two years after being diagnosed with leukaemia. She was asked to do just that and tweeted saying while she feels for people is strong feelings against the games, she as an individual athlete, it is too much of a burden and it has really turned into this unfortunate situation. Stark contrast from all the excitement that we had back in 2013 when tokyo was announced as the host for the games. What as the host for the games. What will they look as the host for the games. What will they look like . As the host for the games. What will they look like . If as the host for the games. What will they look like . If they will they look like . If they are going to go ahead in 50 days, presumably they will be a very different olympics to what we have seen in the past. Indeed. First, we know that no international visitors are allowed. The government and the ioc are still debating whether to allow domestic spectators because obviously the japanese government has spent billions of dollars in preparation for this, but at the same time it is going to see hardly any benefit, financial benefit, by hosting the games and at least by having spectators they can expect some ticket income. If you listen to the majority of the public who are against the games, they say that if the games, they say that if the games have to go ahead, it has to have no spectators, so at least it could prevent it becoming a super spreader event, which is of course the major concern for many. {lilia major concern for many. 0k, mariko major concern for many. 0k, Marika Oi major concern for many. 0k, Mariko Oi therefore major concern for many. 0k, Mariko Oi therefore us. A chemical laden Cargo Ship is sinking off the West Coast of Sri Lanka. Its sparked fears of an environmental disaster and has been labelled a Death Blow to the countrys fishing industry. Tanya dendrinos reports. A pristine coastline and a looming environmental disaster. The X Press Pearl has been ablaze for two weeks, and despite the efforts of the Sri Lankan and indian navies, it is sinking, with 350 tonnes of oil on board. Translation there are two possibilities. | either all the fuel has caught fire, or the oil could still be there. If the oil is still there, we have already taken precautionary steps to handle that situation in case there is a leak. On wednesday, attempts were made to tow the vessel to deeper waters to minimise marine pollution. But attempts were later abandoned. Beaches along the West Coast have been littered with debris, and the government has banned fishing along an 80 Kilometre Stretch of coastline. Boats lie covered on the shore, and livelihoods are on the line. Translation the ship has dealt a Death Blow to our lives. We cant go to sea, which means we cant make a living. The singapore flagged Container Vessel was carrying close to 1,500 containers including 25 tonnes of Nitric Acid and several other dangerous chemicals. Sri Lankan Officials believe the fire was caused by a Nitric Acid leak, which the crew had been aware of since may 11. Translation similar incidents have taken i place in other countries, and those governments have ta ken steps to get compensation. We hope to get compensation in accordance with local and international law. We will never give up on that effort. We will calculate the cost from the beginning of this incident. Questions have now been raised about why the ship was allowed into Sri Lankan waters after being rejected by two other nations. A Police Complaint has been launched against the captain, with a Court Order issued to prevent them along with the Chief Engineer and an additional engineer from leaving the country.

That is one of the reasons we are taking a step back and looking at venus again. We have not been to venus in the past 30 years, at least nasa has not tried in the last 30 years. Even before that, the majority were failures. Part of the reason is because of the hostile conditions and acidic environment. Although there is a belief that venus is like an Evil Twin to the.

So watching. Hello there. In the past few days, the heat has been building. In the next few days, the heat is going to be ebbing away. It was certainly warm, though, in the sunshine in particular on wednesday. The sunniest weather was actually in suffolk. But it wasnt here that we saw the highest temperatures. That was further south in northolt. 28 celsius, the hottest day of the year so far. It was the warmest its been all year in wales and scotland, 26 27 celsius. Now, all that heat was ahead of a band of showers, which for a while were heavy, even with one or two rumbles of thunder. Thats been moving up from the southwest, and behind it, we have seen slightly cooler air and much more cloud across Southwestern Parts of the uk. A very different day here in devon compared with tuesday. That cloud is still around at the moment, hence the high temperatures that we are starting with on thursday morning. Many places will start dry, weve still got some showers left over across Northern Ireland, northern england. Those should quickly move northward into scotland, and as they do so, a lot of those showers will fade away. Northern scotland probably dry with some sunshine. And we should get more sunshine in the afternoon across other parts of the uk as the Cloud Thins and breaks. But it will be a bit cooler than it was on wednesday. The heat getting confined to East Anglia, southeast england. Lincolnshire could reach 26, maybe 27 celsius, a warm day still here. As we head into the evening, most places will end the day dry with some sunshine. But look whats coming our way from the near continent. Theres the threat overnight, and into friday, there are some showers or longer spells of heavy rain, perhaps thundery, affecting some Eastern Parts of england, mainly East Anglia and the southeast, a lot of uncertainty about that. Elsewhere, it looks generally dry, and there will be more in the way of sunshine, It Cloud over a bit more, i think, in Northern Ireland. A Cooler Day certainly for Eastern Parts of england with more cloud and the threat of some rain. Top temperatures, 21 celsius. Now, lets head into the weekend, and we see the back of that threatening rain in the southeast of england. A Weather Front is coming in from the atlantic. This one, mind you, is going to be very weak. It will bring with it a bit more cloud across Northern Ireland into Western Parts of scotland. The chance of a little Light Rain or drizzle, but its not moving very quickly into the uk, and for many, it will be a fine day with some spells of sunshine. It will be warmer in the southeast, 23 celsius. Those temperatures wont change a great deal on sunday, but for one or two showers, it should be dry with some sunshine at times.
