Opposition to Israel’s judicial reforms grows

In Israel, opposition to the government’s proposed judicial changes is growing by the day. The first law, passed on Thursday, shields the prime minister, limiting the ways he or she can be declared unfit for office. Critics say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is using that to protect himself from corruption charges. Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan has more from Tel Aviv.

The US House may not have a speaker when it convenes. Here’s why

Republicans take control of the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday. Still, their House leader, Kevin McCarthy, may fall short of securing a majority amid opposition from far-right members. The Republican Party narrowly won a majority in November’s midterm elections but failed to take the Senate. The poor showing has led to disagreements at the top of the party.

Human rights groups concerned about Colombia security bill

Rights groups say Colombia’s controversial security law violates human rights and the opposition says they will challenge it in the Constitutional Court. The law claims to guarantee citizen security with tougher penalties, but critics say it violates the Constitution, dangerously expanding self-defence laws among other provisions. It also increases penalties for damaging public infrastructure or when protesters wear a mask, potentially turning protesters into criminals. The bill was approved by Congress this week and is expected to be signed off by President Ivan Duque.
