ah. hello, rodney parker, this is the news. our life dough are coming up in the next 60 minutes. italy thrown into political crisis as the president rejects prime minister drakeesha resignation . follow the collapse of his coalition. ah, celebrations, it's for lawn care was president, go to buy a roger pox, a submit his resignation letter from singapore. you as president joe biden signs a declaration with israel aim to preventing iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. a prolonged heat wave cause is drought. wildfire, and parts of europe. scientists, blame climate change. i'm do want to get your oscar with sport as tiger woods make the shake. he stopped at the open championship while re mccoy's writing intention at st. andrews. sitting 2 shots of the pe some to his 1st round. very good done. ah, welcome to the show, we start this news i with breaking news out of italy where the president has refused to accept the resignation of the prime minister. maria druggie said he would quit off to coalition partner refuse to back a key confidence vote. the fivestar movement as accused draggy of not doing enough to tackle the cost of living crisis straight to adam rainy now who joins us live from ferrara. in italy, adam bed druggie, one the confidence votes. so why now this decision to step down with dragging his long said need that he only wants to be prime minister. and what is this unity government? and he considers the 5 star movement part of that unity government. it's not clear though, this is just really a bunch of brinkman ship, which was more typical in italian politics of the past. as because my dear that augustine is this institutional figure, one who is a steady hand and one of the worst crises haley's face, the pandemic. this drought there now, and in the war and ukraine. now the fact that just moments ago, the president sandra method ala refused to accept this resignation, even calls all of this into question more. it's very unlikely that the raggy would continue with his plans to resign if the president is refusing it. so what's to come on friday morning when this all shakes up is not clear, but it's clear that i get was not happy with all these threats from the leader in the senate of the 5 star movement that former prime minister conte. and he wanted to push and see if they would get on board vote for this aid package, which they wouldn't, and also vote for this confidence vote. these were all tied together. and one thing our viewers may not be aware of a key part of this vote was an inclusion of an incinerator for the city of rome, the capital and the 5 star movement has long been against this project. and many other large spinning projects. so it was easy for country to walk away from the boat saying we don't want any part of this because this has this big spending bill attached to something we've long been opposed to. so perhaps that aggie comes back on friday and they've, they've cleared the way taken that incinerator vote off the table and at county has to come to the table show support. it's really not clear this happening just moments ago that the president has said he refuses to accept this resignation. but it shows we're in a chaotic mama of italian politics, right? with so many crises taking place. and many worry that if that i, e e, e e, e e isn't in charge, we're going to see a lot of squabbling that perhaps might lead to early elections. so it's a really strange moment right now, politics because the august scene is such a steady hand, but it's one that harks back to a past in which governments came and went with regularity here in italy. yeah, it's been a challenging relationship, hasn't it's in the rule in coalition, can you give us a sense of the dynamic in that relationship and why troubles, why it's been so troublesome over the years? well, need what we had just a few years ago with this movement. the 5 start movement coming to power on a wave of electoral victory. promising to shake politics up. and they seem to be popular for some time, but that popularity is long gone. many people in that movement have led the movement now, including luigi, to my, or the foreign minister. he now sides with that arguments officially left the 5 star movement. and the rest of people, the movement there, frankly, just worried about their jobs next year or even earlier when elections come. most of the representatives and senators, in the 5, sorry movement are going to be out of a job. and what it's really taking place is we're seeing a rise of the 2 sent to right parties, especially the brothers of italy, led by ga maloney. some people call this neo fascist party. she disagrees with that . if anyone in this whole group of dine, dynamic politicians wants early elections, that's ga maloney because she sees that her party will win a very large chunk of seats if they go to elections later this summer, early in the fall or even at 2023 is plan, so you have all these forces jocking for power. people are happy that, that argues in charge because it's tamped down on all this competition between a dying movement. the 5 start movement and arising one on the center, right? but if you can't kind of wrangle control back and address these larger problems, the ongoing spending in the way could pandemic. italy is the largest recipient of european recovery funds, the tacking this drought where we're standing in northern italy, we're seeing the worst route in 70 years. they need to address that, and also the war and ukraine. draggy has been firm and is opposition to russia. it's not clear if these right wing parties, if they take control, either later this year, or next year, if they'll maintain that pressure on russia. so there's a lot going on, people are very concerned here, a lot of problems the solve we'll see in the next 24 hours. if that will continue with somehow perhaps more power than he had coming in to this day on thursday. or somehow his mandate will be we can leave adam rainy and ferrara, northern italy. thank you sir. lincoln, our president go to via raja parks, has finally submitted his resignation after weeks of demonstrations, newsletter, celebrations and colombo. but the documents authenticity still needs to be legally verified. and that will take until friday, roger boxer is now in singapore after fleeing to the mold eaves on wednesday, under pressure from mounting demonstrations against his rule. i minister renelle vic, rema singer, has stepped in as acting president, but protested. want him gone to, they're demanding a new government and the countries deep, deep economic crisis. but now fernandez reports from colombo. after an entire day's wait, the speaker's office has finally confirmed the receipt of a letter containing the resignation of present goat albert roger boxer. now that letter obviously has to go through a formal verification process, a process laid down by the constitution, and that has to be accepted by the speaker as the official resignation letter. but from the report and a copy that we have seen, the president in that letter. a saying that he always worked towards the security there held the well being of the people of this country. and that he can sleep at night with a clear conscience that that was what he did while he was in office. the one blaze that that letter has president go to albert roger pox actually apologizing is for the failure of the introduction of organic farming. that is, that ban on chemical fertilizer. he also talks about tourism, the fall of tourism with the 2019 isa bombings and the pandemic and attributes that to the dollar crisis that this is countries facing. where it's on his knees and does not have money to buy food medicine and fuel. but basically, our present gotta be roger parks and then saying in keeping with the contribution of process, he asked the people to work with whoever that is appointed by parliament. now for the protest says here at ground 0, you can probably hear some of the sound behind me. it's a reason for celebration. the 1st instance that they heard about this letter coming . we heard firecrackers going off, but it also means on the flip side of the coin, that prime minister on a vicar missing her becomes acting president as soon as that letter is confirmed as authentic. and that is something that the protesters have right along said they don't want or wants go to buy roger packs, his resignation is authenticated and accepted. what happens next? the prime minister can hold the position for 30 days by which time parliament must elect a member of the chamber to the post, who will carry out the remainder of the term opposition parties and protests as say, prime minister, vic, grimacing, it must resign and make way for a new government, his previously said he's willing to so it's unclear if he wants to carry on. roger paxis for lanchen people's front is the largest block in parliament, but they don't have the 113 seat majority needed to decide a successor. if the s l p p push through a party loyalists for president and sure to anger protested the question now is whether the deeply divided parliament will find a compromise. well, hopefully somebody you can answer those questions is aaron rick, rama rodney or former state minister of finance, members for lank as main opposition party. he's in colombo and joins us live now. up 1st, if i can ask you about these latest developments before we going to talk about our things, we are of course, waiting for this all important resignation letter to be authenticated. is it likely to diffuse the process when that on if that it, if that does indeed come? yes, because the one main issue is they thought that is the route and then go go. so that's just a verification issue. i think the next the media will be appointing a new priming and the party leaders to meet the speaker tomorrow. and then david nominated me for a new frame and then subject to that needs to be call immediately by mr. constitutionally, become president. arguments of be recorded media and then parliament should be working on. so should be the next president. are we now likely to see the back of front of the victim a think all his political days numbered? yes, that's up to him and to see that. but i think we have to face the reality situation and they want change and the change that they are looking for is a system change. and then the patients have been around for 2030. and as a huge try that there must be assistance change and maybe neil p for taking or so therefore, i think in fees we have a big responsibility in actually working on to the next president should be talking about a system change a breath of fresh air as many protests is demanded, the ruling coalition accounts for 103 seats in parliament opposition party, the 122. in the 225 c parliament opposition parties would have to do some very strong coalition building. if they want to have a truly new leadership going ahead in elections there. absolutely right. the fact is the need to build a consensus. we know that the mandate given in 20192022 parliament in now increasingly becoming irrelevant. and therefore, at some point that will have to be an election so that a new mandate could be obtained in the internally, they will have to be mindful, but the government and the opposition thought the need to get together do the consensus. so the consensus candidate that is acceptable to the local population and also for the market with international markets do matter because the financial crisis and we have immediate issues to be with the financial crisis. a very interesting road ahead for us for lancaster democracy and pick them up in a former state minister finance members for like his main opposition party. thank you very much. plenty more. hands on the news are including a power struggle in libya to control the state. oil company after it's chairman was sacked by the prime minister and american basketball star. brittany griner is back in court in russia to face drug charges more and that will show in sport. ah, he was present joe biden, an israeli prime minister yal appeal have signed a non binding declaration to prevent a round from acquiring nuclear weapons by den, also restated the u. s. position on the 2 state solution for israel and palestine. stephanie decker reports from westbury slim. these will be the 2nd day of president jo biden's, middle east trip started with interim is ready, prime minister. yeah. le, pete. the leaders all smiles at their meeting. top of the agenda. iran. dr. signing a non binding declaration reiterating the u. s. is ready partnership america's commitment to israel security way and to ensure iran would never acquire a nuclear weapon based on the other main topic of discussion. israel's integration and the region. israel's piece with his neighbors. these are essential golf. tomorrow i'll be the 1st american president to fly from israel, directly to jetta. saudi arabian, i represent important progress mister president. you will meet with the leaders of saudi arabia, katara, quaid, oman, and iraq. i would like you to pass them all a message from us. our hand is outstretched for peace. we are ready to share our technology ready for our scientists to collaborate and our businesses to corporate opposition leader benjamin netanyahu got 15 minutes a face time, a man not used to taking a back seat during u. s. presidential visits, netanyahu has worked hard to undermine his opponents, accusing them of being on statesmen like and unqualified to lead. these images will no doubt work in the pete's favor had of november's elections. israel's 5th, in 4 years. this trip is less about who is or will be prime minister and more about israel as a whole. it's relations in the region and countering iran. before heading to jetta on friday. biden is scheduled to stop at augusta victoria hospital in occupied east jerusalem. historic in the sense that it's the 1st time a u. s. president will visit a place in east jerusalem away from the old city. he's expected to pledge a $100000000.00 to help palestinian hospitals. but this moment from the press conference possibly won't go down. well, with the palestinians, your visit to morrow is jerusalem and you won't be accompanied by an israeli official. does this represent a change in your administration's view regarding the recognition after as alom as the capital of israel? and if is jerusalem is part of it. thank you. ashley ross crushes no occupied east . jerusalem is what palestinian see as the capital of any future state and issue policy and present mahmoud abbas may res, with biden, who he will meet briefly in bethlehem on friday. the palestinians know that this trip is not about them. a few economic incentives. yes, but there are no new diplomatic offers on the table to revive long story piece talks. the american priority is to focus on wider geopolitical issues and encourage more arab countries to normalize relations with israel. stephanie decker al jazeera western islam was staying with the story. hillary man leverett, as a former white house national security official, and the ceo of strategic consulting. she's in washington d. c, and joins me via skype. welcome to the news, our clearly no shortage of mutual affection between yala peter and biden as to be expected. but beyond this non binding pledge over a wrongs nucular program, what was biden bringing that was new to the table here. it's not clear that he was bringing something new to the table. i had to, to israel, and it's reflected someone in holing that we've seen here in the united states. there's some confusion about why president biden took this trip at this time. why go to israel now? why go to saudi arabia now? them a good portion of democrats really question in particular, president biden's a visit to israel because they don't see something new. they don't see it as advancing u. s. interests or their particular, their particular priorities here in the united states. no, it's, it's no secret that some the fuel prices are going up in the united states that are huge, huge concerns about the pipes are all the economy over there. and that some may be the trip to israel was a side note to the real meat of, of the trip, which was a visiting saudi arabia. how might that be seen back home in the united states? perhaps perhaps the real intent here is to give some cover to president biden really almost completely reversing course on his preferred policy toward saudi arabia. during the campaign, he famously said he was going to make saudi arabia and it's crown prince the crier that they are. and now he is, he is completely reverse course and he is going to saudi arabia where he will meet and probably shake hands with saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed been some time. but that too is strange. there's not any real expectation in washington that biden's trip to saudi arabia will bring down the price of gasoline here in the united states, that price of gasoline has actually been been falling for the past month. it's still high, but it's been falling. and they're, it's not really clear that saudi arabia could or would do something so decisive to bring our president vide biden, some real um, we might call deliverable or achievement that he could show to the american public . it there, it striking the pulling i was referring to among about democrats in israel. similarly, has a very sizable number of republicans who are opposed to president biden, going to saudi arabia, meeting with crown prince. mom had been summon and particularly in what they foresee will be a pretty humiliating way. how would you define the american so on going to promote extent. so suppose it in the middle east that going forward. it seems to be willing to act as a simple facilitator, bringing saudi arabia and israel, close it together and let them do the work themselves as the us now ready to take a back seat and all of us will. and in fact, many of the, the discussions and the developments between israel and these countries that are either part of what's called the abram accords, or might be part of the abram accords like saudi arabia. many of those discussions are happening bilaterally between israel and those countries. or small groups of these countries with israel without the united states, even in the room. and that is what i think is the main driver of president biden's trip to the middle east or over the past few days. and in the coming days. and that is concern that these, the poem what we might call whole american governments in the middle east. they are increasingly looking to russia and china for their markets for their, for their political, their political agenda. and even for their security, the united states was shot that countries, particularly saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, did not support the united states in its condemnation of russia's invasion of ukraine. they're very concerned that these countries, israel saudi arabia, u e, and perhaps others may be going closer to russia, closer to china, and leaving the united states. not just in the back seat, but really i completely behind. and i think that's what's motivating or that what, that's what has motivated president biden and his white house to take this trip at this time to the middle east. heather, you man lever, it's a full house national security official. i'm ceo, strategic consulting. great to have you on the shirt. now a news libby is all safe, is refusing to accept the government's decision to sac him as arguments heat up over which the countries to administration should have access to all revenue. they b as national all corporation chairman mustafah, son, allah says tripoli, base prime minister abdul hamid the babies mandate to govern has expired. therefore, ending his authority to dismiss him by been named a new board of directors, including a new chairman on wednesday. now marolla do, i'm of his mina, dis, outdated government has been a caretaker government since october 2021. parliament withdrew its confidence vote and it became nothing but a caretaker government. it's political agreement ended on june 22. meaning this is an expired government and there is a 2nd government appointed by parliament. therefore, i say to him, you are what you are. you are just sitting around in a fait accompli or let's take a look at the route brewing about the national oil corporation and what impact this will have on exports. our minister abdul hamid debates trying to get rid of my staff, a sinatra. it was backed by the west. he says the prime minister doesn't have the authority to force him out as his mandates expired by ever once to a point far hot and dora, he was governor of the central bank, hon. i'm a gadhafi than dora is an ally of all or halley for after. it was supported by the to brook base parliament in east in libya. the baber is accused of politicizing oil to stay in power forces allied with the wall, or have been blockading or facility since mid april, causing exports to drop by almost half or a hub. abdul gatos, the ceo of petro gas, libya he's in london. and with me now welcome to the news. our class start by asking you as somebody who's in the industry, how all of this instability in libya is affecting it's all production and the industry as a whole. rich robin young, so it's, it's been a difficult situation. obviously the oil is a vital resource to the libyan economy. also in the, when you look at the greater picture of the energy demand, destruction creates volatility in its country. that's built on a model of a rental stage. we rely heavily on the revenues it's fall generates the importance of finances. the projects pays the salaries. so this disruption causes us extreme difficulty. and in 2022. at the moment, we've seen one of the most difficult challenges for us as a business to operate in this kind of climate. and of course, the recent shut down to have exacerbated the countries, electricity shortages and sparking protests, both in the east and the west of the country. what should the leaders in both parts of libya be doing to, to come tensions and make sure that much needed resources allow to, to reach international market? well 1st and foremost, oversee the in the oil resource is something that all libyans should benefit from in terms of the revenue that's coming from, from the, from the state, from song, the oil. so under gas, and it's an important commodity also for europe and the nearby countries in order for libyans to, to realize that the need to obviously sit by, sit down together and actually trying to have a conversation about the economic model that we currently have in place. there is a social contract between the state and the libyans themselves. maybe this needs to actually be front and center up amongst all the other files that are being discussed on libya. that way, the people in us as libyans know what to expect and to actually tangibly feel that there's something being received because at the moment they're seeing and hearing a lot of figures. but the everyday libyans has very little access to even the most basic services, as you've mentioned, without tricity cost, with the fuel crisis, with the gas shortages. so this is a front and center issue right now. what do you expect this, this takeover if, if the national corporation to, to go next to the united states embassy for instance, is voiced its consent, saying that they may well be contested in court. but at worse, the u. s. embassy fears, armed confrontation, where do you think this will go? i have to look at it from a business perspective, obviously, for us or international partners who we work with in libya, there needs to be stability. and how do you achieve that stability? and how do you get each side to focus on the actual resumption of oil production? all this delay leads to rising cost. we have the issues of, obviously the, the ukraine, russia war as well, going on. so that's affecting deliverables. so the conversation is that it's not just one international actor, it needs to be several, as they have done previously in previous agreements, to realize that both for them and for libyans, that this is an important resources and it needs to be managed, handled better than it has been right now. have bob, they'll get to see petrol. gas libya, money, thanks. marley's transitional government has ordered the temporary suspension of troop rotation by the un peacekeeping mission, citing security reasons. the suspension is

out in the atlantic called the as or as high the iberian peninsula is the driest. it's been for 1200 years. there is a drought in spain. water reserves have shrunk more than 20 percent this year,

organization says the unusual weather came from north africa carrying us the horror and dust cloud as well. the sweltering heat arrived earlier than usual, temperatures have been higher than average by about 10 degrees celsius. there are drought warnings, especially for western europe. temperatures have been pushed to the mid forties and countryside. portugal, italy, spain, france, and co ation. martin van alst directs the international federation of the red cross and red crescent society's climate center. he's with me live from the tract. it's no longer a case of it being wild weather is it's we obscene this year on year. this is the new normal, isn't it? yes, these extremes hardly knew normal from a scientific perspective, it's very explainable. unfortunately, our science, our societies are not adapted to that in reality. and that's why we're seeing the impacts that we're seeing today, including all the human suffering. and what the sewing temperature repeatedly show is how woefully unprepared we are to deal with them. exactly. now it's both been something that happened very, very infrequently was, is now getting much more common with the waves. indeed, almost every year in many parts of europe for instance. but also places that were already used to some heat are now getting heat that they've never seen before. so yes, we do have to adapt and we're behind of this, of course, as massive consequences as usual, of course, for the most vulnerable parts of the world. the most vulnerable sectors of society give us a sense of how much impact whether related disasters, for instance, have had in europe and further afield. so weather related disasters have been the biggest share of the global disaster statistics that we've seen in the international red cross for many years of the order of 95 percent of of disastrous recently. it's also been rising more rapidly than the other types of disaster. so we, we are very clear to you already confronted with the climate crisis in heart disaster response operations. and it shows that we cannot just keep responding more and more . we need to reduce the risks of these events and adapt to those changing hazards. and it has a massive impact on the food security. of course, we mentioned in the introduction the possibility of droughts in parts of europe. that very much applies for huge tracks of land on the continent of africa as well. and all of this at a time when food is quite scarce as a result of the war in ukraine, it feels like a perfect storm. a problem. is there any set to get worse? yes, so i mean, this is the pattern all over the world. i mean, you might add to the list that you just recited the, the big key wave that we had, again, very early in the season in south asia, in india and pakistan. where we were hoping maybe to get a bit of relief from the lack of grain exports from ukraine and russia by the good indian harvest. but instead their harvest was also devastated by the heat there. so what we're seeing is, 1st of all, pattern of all of these extremes around the world, but also cascading from region to region. very need, for instance, the horn of africa right now is being struck the hardest. and we're seeing hundreds of not thousands of people already dying due to combination of drought there, of course, also aggravated by the heat there, but following several years with really heavy flooding following the impact of coverage. so people are in deeper poverty. and if he doesn't global food prices, partly driven also by these prices elsewhere affecting people, in this case, the most vulnerable in the tiny, vulnerable regions to worse or this, his sense of the, of a punishing summer for a large number of people internationally. martin van house from the national federation,
