the us and russian presidents to manage growing hostility of ukraine. the top u. s. at japanese and south korean diplomats meet to discuss north korea after it began a year with a series of missile tests and fight his role into triplet to support the intern prime minister after pushed to replace him. ah, trinity as president has issued a decree creating a provisional judicial body which gives them the power to dismiss judges and denies them their right to strike their re protest since sky side dissolve the supreme judiciary council last week. these a live pictures al, from a protest in tunis. oh, their committee is one of the last institutions, independent of the presidency i. aids made, several moves to consolidate power in sacking the government and suspending
2:02 pm
parliament back in july. and it's of oakland joins us now live from tunis. i let start elisa with this new temporary judicial council. what does it mean? well, this is it sides attempt to finally take full control of the judiciary. last week he suspended the supreme judicial counsel, which is the judiciary and justice systems watchdog. but there was a big pushback from the international community who yeah, who said that they are, they're not happy about what they're seeing in tunisia. and then there seems to be a bit of a role back from that guy side to trying to calm the situation because denise is very reliance on donations from the g 7 countries. and so since then there's, there's been ongoing protests by the judiciary all week. and part of the decree is
2:03 pm
banning them from going on strike and protesting. so this is a big move in terms of consolidating total power in tunisia. and it means you're a very clear move towards or authoritarian rule. it's not without some support because a lot of lawyers are saying that there is a lot of corruption within the judiciary, but there is a well, the difference between reforming an organization and completely abolishing and replacing it within one week. sure, we're looking at live pictures at the moment and a thea. all of a protests happening in tunis. tell us what is happening there today wants expected and, and has this latest move, ah, sort of emboldens protest is it is certainly hands the, the people who are demonstrating to guy today, a movement called citizens against the crew. they've been demonstrating since last september when kind side it just did publish his decree to rule. yeah,

2:05 pm
but the publishing of the tree yesterday could change things. so we have to watch and see how things will play out when suddenly looks like a large crowd from the images that we've been seeing for. now, think that to at least have augment. we appreciate it. how another phone call between the us and russian presidents. this one, lasting an hour has failed to reach any breakthrough on ukraine. the white house released this picture all joe biden on the call, saying he repeated warnings of severe consequences if vladimir putin goes ahead with an invasion. you are secretary of state, and ne blinkin says it's not too late to avoid conflict. a diplomatic path to resolving this crisis. a crisis created by the unprovoked massing of russian forces all around ukraine. that diplomatic path remains open. the way from moscow to show that it wants to pursue that path is simple. it should deescalate rather than
