a super bowl showed out $100000000.00 american football fan set to an end to see if there was angela's rams. take on the cincinnati bengals. ah, trinity is president has announced that he now has the power to dismiss judges and has removed their right to strike chi sides decree follows the dissolution of the supreme judiciary committee. one of the last institutions, independent of the presidency. it's the latest contentious move by side since he's fact. trinity is government and froze parliament last july. and he to evoke men joins us now on the phone from tuna salisia just explained to us exactly what has happened and what it means. so there's a new, temporary judicial council. yes, the decrees is created this new temporary judicial council. last sunday, he issued

a decree that dissolved the old supreme judicial council, which was the watchdog for the justice system and the judiciary. but there's been a long wrinkle between the president and the supreme judicial council since september, when he declared he was ruling solely by decrease. so he got that the 3 pounds of state executive, legislative and judicial in his hands. the judges has pushed back against this because they say they're independent and they demand they'll toner me on the other side that has been a lot of criticism of the judiciary and of corruption in the judiciary. so that has been some popular support for coincide. but there's also been a backlash from my g 7 states from the un decrying what he's done because it's a big difference between a strong reform of an organization that has a series of corruption and completely abolishing it. so what we've seen since then

is that judges have been on strike. the big supreme initial council has actually taken the ministry of interior to court, demanding the keys to the headquarters. but we're still waiting on the judgement for this. and there's been a strong pushback against don't the states, the e, you know, in discussion about whether or not they are going to continue to support the nation state financially. and that's looking very fragile. so rather than the appeasing process, that side seemed to take earlier in the week by offering this time pre traditional counsel and his foreign. a minister trying to piece g 7 states. it seems that he's gone back to, he's much more sort of author, terry. and so the strong man type of resume sions. and today they will be march demanding the reopening of the superior traditional council. so this still the same

football to play for that was on a question with this plan protest. i mean, how might this impact things that people allowed to, to gather on the coven rule, as we might to this latest move, fire out the protest. this some, i mean this will serve to me, you put far in the protest is values for sure. it's a complex situation because under rules, big gatherings and process is still bound. i was speaking with the executive committee citizens against the q who organizing this protest. and they said that they see ha mm, come to some kind of agreement with the police about how the demonstration was going to play out. because there's a lot of discontent within the police because they've been purchased and they feel, you know, in a very fragile. 1 position that's where the chinese is losing its status on the international stage. and they're very concerned about this because the forces and

the security forces have benefitted greatly from the dana states in terms of reform improvements, equipment that. a be very worried themselves. so this does change things. county side may replace the forces who normally go to and secure marches. we at the moment, we don't know before we were expecting a relatively peaceful demonstration that would be allowed to go to this period to show judicial counsel headquarters. we didn't within the constraints of law and order of my police, but now everything's changed. so we'll have to watch and wait and see how the day plays out that we will or i for now. thank you that they have opened their life from tunis. another phone call between the us and russian presidents. this one last thing an hour has failed to reach any breakthrough on ukraine. whitehouse

equipment. and ammunition has arrived in kiev to talk about the joins us now live from care of natasha as these diplomatic efforts continue. how little being received there in the capital? well, think people in ukraine are looking at this flurry of diplomacy and probably coming to the same conclusions that people are elsewhere, that no real progress seems to be being made up. you have these highest level talk . so vladimir putin, the russian president of the speaking to the u. s. president joe biden by phone boot and also a speaking to emanuel. mike caroll, the french president by forsake a lever off there with antony blinkin. a lot of conversations are happening, but there doesn't seem to be any form of breakthrough. you still have the 2 sides that it's deeply entrenched in their positions. you have a putin who are, we understand, said in those phone calls,

that he still feels that western powers are ignoring a rush of security demands. we know some of those demands russia very unhappy about what it seizes nato's open door policy. very unhappy about the idea that ukraine could possibly become a part of nato, and then russia, in those for it, russia saying the 3rd, the western powers are ah, it is whipping up hysteria, peak hysteria over their assertions that russia could attack ukraine, pulling out various foreign nationals from ukraine urging them to leave a mediately. so it's a very, a tense situation. it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. on the other side, you have western powers saying, look, hang on if russia is really a keen or really wants to follow the path of diplomacy, it has to show some signs that it is ready to go down that path. and i was very clear from the telephone call between macro on poo to in the a statement that came out from the lee say after that telephone call really

suggested that emanuel micra had said, oh, to putin that you have to show that you are ready to deescalate, if you're really serious about to about dialog. now, see, escalation assign could be, for example, perhaps withdrawing some of those troops. russian troops on 3 sides of ukraine, effectively thousands of them carrying out military exercises even to the north of the country in better is a very difficult situation indeed. and then in the middle, of course, you have ukraine. the ukranian president, calling for com, urging people not to panic or natasha about that therefore, i think here, thank you. as her. so she mentioned more countries of telling the citizens in ukraine to leave immediately. australia is evacuating as embassy and key of the situation. as you are all hearing as well, is deteriorating and is reaching, i very dangerous dies and i want to send
