Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday.

Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn and health and science reporter Nathan Jeffay join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Keller-Lynn talks about Tuesday's swearing-in of the 25th Knesset, with newcomers elated by their wins and the opposition heralding the end of democracy, with concerns over a lack of unity in the government.

Jeffay speaks about a Hebrew University study that examines plummeting sperm counts worldwide, which could point to a wider decline in aspects of men’s health.

Keller-Lynn also discusses the lack of outside activists at the ongoing United Nations Climate Conference COP27 in Egypt’s Sharm el Sheikh, part of the Egyptian efforts to quash the usual protests.

Jeffay looks at a new technology under trial, which offers a fuller report on the DNA of tumors.

Discussed articles include:

Far-right vows upped security under new gov’t; Liberman warns of ‘ayatollah regime’

Sperm counts worldwide have plunged 62% in under 50 years, Israeli-led study finds

Egyptians keep tight leash on climate confab, muffling traditional din of protests

Israeli hospital: New tech gave instant DNA info on tumors, jump-starts treatment
