A coalition of opposition parties has been formed in Israel

The new Israeli coalition needs support from parliament first.

After days of frantic negotiations in Israel, a coalition of opposition parties has been formed to oust the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power. It still needs approval from the Knesset. Also in the programme: Hong Kong's museum dedicated to the Tiananmen Square massacre has been closed over alleged licensing and hygiene breaches; and we'll hear from the International Booker Prize winners, David Diop and translator Anna Moschovakis.
