this is al jazeera, ah. hello, lauren taylor, this is down here. news. our live from london. coming up, russian forces intensify their assault on the eastern town of sola dar as both sides battle for control of the strategic city of back, moot and overnight curfews imposed in southern peru of the deadly anti government protests. brazil's ministry is accused of not doing enough to stop the storming of government buildings in the nation's capital by supporters of the former president . ah, and the birthplace of voodoo, celebrates the religions, reemergence. and i'm far as small with the sports. as christiane of rinaldo gets ready for a possible showdown with lena massey in riyadh,

the more g r is expected to face off against massey's parents, satcher man, and his 1st game. since moving to saudi arabia. ah, we begin in ukraine where russian forces have stepped up their assault on a small salt mining town in the east of the country. with the help of wagner mercenaries, the groups founder described the battles as heavy and bloody while ukraine's president said the area has been flattened by fighting. the british defense ministries as it appears russia has taken control of much solider. and in doing so, blocked key ukrainian supply and communication lines to back moot, capture back. moot is now one of moscow's main military objectives in the war. both sides have suffered heavy losses there during months of trench warfare. also tuesday, russia's defense minister pledge to boost weapons, da ation, technology and drone production. russian navy also conducted drills in the

norwegian, c with a hypersonic missile. it says is capable of evading western ad offenses for now, all efforts are focused on the city of philadelphia and where the russia can cement it's control of the strategic city. cha, stratford begins our coverage from keith present lensky last night, acknowledging that the battle for solely dawn was indeed intensifying. he saying that the ukrainians had in his words, one time in order to get more men and supplies inside that town now solid is around 20 kilometers north, east of the town of buck, mood, of course, buck mood is seen. some of the most intensive fighting over recent weeks and months . a town that is often nicknamed a meat grinder because of the sheer amount of men that have been killed in it on both sides. solely dog is a salt mining town. it is the largest salt mine in ukraine and it has

a vast network of underground tunnels, around 200 kilometers, in fact have underground tunnels, some as high as 30 meters. i mean a football match, for example, is being held under ground instantly dark in the past. so one can you imagine this is a huge strategic importance. we can only speculate that certainly according to the russians they saying that the ukrainians are using those tunnels as defensive positions to store ammunition and so on. so we can only speculate that the fighting there is particularly intense because it is of such a strategic and military importance. whether we're going to start seeing such a thing as a siege, such as what we saw around the as a style plant in my real pool was months ago, remains to be seen. russia state news agency is reporting that there is a change of command in the countries army. moscow said to have promoted colonel

general alexander lapping to chief of staff of its ground forces. he was previously commander of the central military district. the move comes despite fierce criticism of laughing from some allies of president vladimir putin. over his performance. russia's invasion of ukraine was. crane's president automated lensky announced he's sending more weapons and trips to defend the route where he said, quote, no walls have been left standing, and the land is covered with russian corpses. waves of russian attacks have been led by the wagner group founded by russian businessmen. if guinea prettier jean frigging has been filmed by his speeches, recruiting russian prisoners, promising high salaries, incapacity payouts and freedom after 6 months of service. russia's main prisoner rights or nation estimates at least 35000 prisoners have signed up. that's nearly 10 percent of the pre war male prison population. military analysts say the battle of a mood is being fought using world war one tactics with russia,

sending out the prisoners 1st to take the worst of ukrainian fire, leaving experience troops to claim more ground. own matthews as an expert on russian, as written the history of the origins of the russia ukraine war. he says, the wagner group is useful to russia's efforts because the soldiers, a dispensable, well, the involvement of wagner in the war. and it's important. this is actually one of the great mysteries, actually, because the quality event troops is questionable, certainly the ones they recruited from prison. the best explanations for their prominence in this campaign is that they are expendable, essentially the next awful my prison must raise and she will not have the same kind of political impact potentially on opinion home, the death of sickle, quote unquote, ordinary soldiers from ordinary towns. what have that said they, they are incredibly willing to die for, for either for money,

pure messages or for their own freedom at their prison. but they don't essentially really take orders from the central military command at all except on the strategic level. they are deployed in sudden sectors. a group of roughly 100 ukrainian soldiers is set to begin training on a patient missile defense system in the u. s. they last month. washington pledge to provide the advance system to ukraine to help counter russian ass strikes. why cannot, has more from the white house and they wouldn't be drawn on the timeline, how long the training is going to take. when exactly it is going to start. however, it is understood that a groups of the cranium soldiers are already on their way. now. it must be understood as well that a hatred massage battery requires some 90 soldiers to man. so although the figure of $100.00 is being pushed around, it's likely to be higher than this for the battery to be continually operational.

in other words, you wouldn't need to change the from 180000 rather than one team of 90. so this training we now understand is going to be happening. as i said, the duration we don't know when exactly it's going to start. we don't know what it does appear to be is that the training will take place in oklahoma in the fort. so army base, this is the home of the american field off hillary school. so that will be on the u . s. base in oklahoma. we understand we will hopefully get more details from the pentagon. through the government has proved an overnight curfew in the southern region of bruno, or at least 17 people were killed during anti government. demonstrations on monday is the most violent day since purchase began in december. following the rest of former president, edrick has to you. 3 days of morning has been announced. demonstrators are demanding an infection and the resignation the president are in the

center of georgia, not alive from lima and my other government is asking for a vote of confidence. will a prime minister be approved by congress? lauren, the lawmaker just told me a little while ago that he's very sure that the prime minister will give the vote of confidence from lawmakers here. but it wasn't, you see from the start because the left when makers, when, when about le walked into the chambers, they shouted at him, murderer, then they did not allow him to speak. they took the floor and presented the pictures. the photos of many of the, of the victims died yesterday in flashes with security forces in the city of who know also he confirmed that the 18th person died yesterday. he

is a police officer who was attacked by a mob and burns hydrant car. well, the prime minister's poke is during his presentation about what is going on in the country. he announced a curfew of from a pm to 4 am in tune up for 3 days. but he also announced that there will be a program to help the families of the victims that is, of course money. and also he talked about how the prosecutors will independently investigate the killings. not only the killing of what happened yesterday, and those killings in i a so that died more than 2 weeks ago when the army opened fire there, when they were trained to overrun the airport, lot of investigations have to be have to be have to start. but in outside of called with another prime minister has been more confrontational,

and he's blamed former president federal castillo for the unrest in the country. and, and he also has blamed he says a foreign funds and drug trafficking funds are fueling the pro on the streets. and that of course is not voting well with protesters who are really angry at these type of statements by a person like the prime minister. you mentioned some of the measures including the curfew. what is the situation around the country now? well the there's people gathering in the center of fool. no of course there's a 3 day. busy 3 day morning if you really there is people are gathering there. but also there's been people marching the streets if i could. so today they had the people had kind of stopped participating in the protests for a few days, but now they are back on strike. the airport was closed preventively there as well

. i choice what i was saying, the place where the army opened fire and 10 people were killed 2 and a half weeks ago. so there is some tension on the streets of the country, but we will have to see what happens here in congress. what, how people will react if the government that is so questioned with so many people demanding the recognition of president, you know, a lot of the, how will people accept or not, and what the reaction will be on the streets after what happens here in congress today or perhaps tomorrow essentially, thank you very much. in the coming up on the news are from london. china responds to restrictions on travelers with its own ban on visitors from neighboring country city by climate activists. trying to block the plan expansion of a coal mine in western germany and in sports and impressive fight back by the

reigning golf club champions, football action coming on. ah, for sales press didn't, has criticized the army for not doing enough to stop supporters of his predecessor from storming the nation's seats of power. you were seen as you lead a silver accused. the generals of not standing up to the protested who are allowed to come outside the military headquarters in brazil. yes, president made the comments during a meeting with governors where he promised to punish those responsible for sundays attack. at least 1500 people have been arrested. so far with every one here is aware of the amount of people that were tortured for not agreeing with the military regime. and now the people are freely calling for a crew in front of the military headquarters. and none of them have done anything. no general stood up to say, this can't happen. it's forbidden to ask for that. it gives the impression that

there were people who liked it with the people were calling for a qu, monica, anna k. f. as inside brazil's presidential palace, one of the buildings stormed during sunday's protest. were standing in the 2nd floor of the presidential palace in brazilian. these, this window has been broken. it was one of the many windows that were destroyed during the attack on sunday, not only to this palace but also to the supreme court and congress. now the president of brazil works up there on that floor to day he was holding regular meetings. it was the 1st day of normality here, which was not so normal because as you can see, people are fixing everything. there are many, many windows that are broken. but the most important thing that lula said, and he stressed this to the 27 governors, that he met the night before is that although the buildings have been shattered,

the institutions have resisted. he attended cool. so this is the ramp where the president are lula, came up to the palace on the day that he was sworn and right in front of it is the supreme court building that was also destroyed during the attack of sunday lula will have that his 1st priority was to unite at least all the governors, the supreme court justices, and congress to defend democracy. and this has strengthened him politically. but his, his main challenge will be to unite a very, very divided country. and he will start his trips abroad on the 23rd of this month, where he is going to argentina to participate in the summit of the community of latin american states and the caribbean. and then from there he will go to your

wife and later on he will meet later on this month or early next month, he will meet with us president joe biden. meanwhile, brazil's former friends, israel scenario, says he may cut short his stay in florida. after being admitted to hospital with abdominal pain on tuesday, both scenario reportedly, tolkien and brazil. he may return to brazil before the end of the month. he was taken to hospital in the orlando on monday, after complaining of pain relating to a 2018 stab wound. china has taken its 1st retaliatory steps against countries imposing code 19 cubs on its travelers. its defended short term visas, the south koreans and japanese citizens etchings entry restrictions for chinese. travelers are discriminatory and its accused. the countries involved of disregarding science and facts which south korea denies. the south korean

governments strengthened quarantine measures for travelers arriving from china are based on scientific and objective grounds. the government has been transparently sharing relevant information with the international community and has continued to communicate with china through diplomatic thomas. katrina, you reports from beijing. china seems to be using south korea and japan to send a message to other countries which have imposed restrictions on chinese travelers and hopes that the role of these restrictions back. it's also warning nations that are considering imposing researches, asking them to think twice about it. now this move is going to impact all parties involved to south korea and japan. china is the biggest trading pon and there are plenty of south korean and japanese businesses operations here. and they will no longer be able to send the business people here to attend to those in person. and this will also no doubt impact china's or an economic bottom line. but according to china's foreign ministry staging says that he has the right to employ counter

measures on these countries. on ginger, i regret to be a few countries, still disregard science and faculty and their own corporate situation. they're imposing discriminated, entry, restrictions on china, china family reject these and, and will take reciprocal measures what we call and relevant countries. we can best measure the facts and science and to take proportionate measures on sunday, trying to began opening up its international borders. and wal, corbett, 19 tests are still required for those entering the country mandatory warranty? not a government facility is not. and as a result, we've seen a surgeon booking some chinese travelers going all over the world. and there's been a split response to that. some countries like thailand, happy to receive as many chinese tours as possible, but other countries, including the u. s. u. k. canada and australia are wary because at the moment china is experiencing a surgeon corvette 1900 infections. the w hate has said that beijing has been under representing the scale of the outbreak here and once aging,

to provide more accurate hospitalization and dec pulled data. the china denies that it's withholding any information dislike. continuing to release suspiciously low speakers and your report has revealed that global warming is hitting europe and the polar regions the hardest. with 2020 to the 5th will monsieur, globally, your record is hotter. summer temperatures increased more than twice the global average over the last 30 years. a to poto regions also saw record heat rising to degrees celsius above last decade averages in some places. scientists say ice melt reveals darker patches of sea and land, increasing sunlight, absorption, and heating globally. the last 8 is temperatures. one degrees celsius, above the long term average, edging the world closer to the one and a half degree threshold. that's a key limit in the paris climate agreement. no longer contributors to rising global temperatures, is cole. and on tuesday,

german police removed climate activists protesting against plans to expand a coal mine in the western village of illiterate for the little widow demolished. to make way for the new site. it potter germany's plan to maintain coal supplies while it tries to reduce its dependence on russian gas and oil surpassing report. this is where the protest here and looters are all about. this is the gas while on mine. it's one of the largest lick night mines here in germany, and it's been expanding even though these protests are ongoing. it needs to be expanded according to the government because they need this coal due to energy shorter just due to the war in ukraine and dependency on russian energy sources. so the government has now decided this whole area needs to be cleared also including the village over there, but active fist here from all over europe are now trying to defend the village here with barricades. but police has moved in much closer now. and they are really threatening to effect the village quite imminently. police have brought in

technical specialized staff for the eviction, but they say this is just the beginning of a complex and dangerous operation. because they don't know what they will find if they go into the houses and the camps where the activists have been hold up. but there wasn't some good climate news on tuesday. this time in relation to the ozone layer, which shields life on earth from the dangerous radiation, it had been seriously damaged by pollution and now san to say it could soon make a recovery. winter monahan has more an invisible barrier protecting us from the sun. decades of damage from pollution weekend the ozone layer. but now thanks to international action, it's finally on the mend ozone layer is on track to recover within 4 decades. in a new report you went back scientific panel, confirm that the phase out of nearly 99 percent of band ozone depleting substances has succeeded in safeguarding the ozone layer leading to notable recovery of the

ozone layer in the upper stratosphere, decrease human exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, ultraviolet radiation can cause skin cancer and harm crops and marine life. the problem came with the development of what's known as c, f. c's, chemicals used and hundreds of products from refrigerators to hair spray. but when these chemicals enter the atmosphere, they damage the ozone layer an international tree, he ban cfc 987, but progress wasn't always smooth. in 2018 scientists detected a rise and cfc emissions. they were traced to factories and china, soon after emission levels resumed their downward trend. the predictions are promising, but other challenges remain. i think that that those who could be a role model also for, for but when we tackle climate change. but it's actually that the probably those

are quite restricted because there are some substitutes away lable for this as he sees which really destroyed this also they are nowadays the old book, the substitute and for for the problem is that the, the climate changes, the c o 2 cannot easily be substituted. the final hole in the ozone layer of the antarctic are set to be healed by 2066. the rest of the world will be sooner. around 2040 activists hope to success could prove a model for cooperation. as the world faces, other challenges like climate change, fenton monahan al jazeera us president joe biden canadian prime minister, just intruder and mexican president under his manual lopez all have met in mexico city. i mean, he is part of the north american leaders, summit trade drug trafficking and new us immigration policies are expected to dominate the discussion. my direct line for a cent from eccentricity is money. what, what's come out of these talk so far?

and what, what can we expect? lauren were in mexico's historic center behind me, the presidential palace, the trilateral north american leader summit still underway, a press conference to follow shortly. here, within this same hour, this is a massively important regional summit, especially economically given that north america, the 3 north american countries represent the largest trading block in the world. so promoting trade is certainly going to be a very important pillar of these talks along with migration and multilateral security. if there is one sour note here, lauren, that's worth pointing out, is attention over mexico being accused by canada and the united states of skirting its obligations under the united states, canada, mexico, free trade agreement, or u. s. m. ca, both washington and ottawa have already launched dispute resolution proceedings against mexico. but with that said, what we've been expecting to happen is that perhaps these world leaders would

likely focus more on areas where there is common ground, underscoring areas where there's more opportunity for strengthening economic ties. maybe setting aside these disputes over mexico is energy policy over this threat of mexico seeking to ban genetically modified corn from the united states, topics that could distract from the more pressing issues such as the ongoing migrant crisis on the us mexico border on monday, even before the, the summit officially kicked off that was the bilateral meeting between us president joe biden, mexican president and manuel. nope, is over that where they discussed a range of. 1 in topics not least of which is the ongoing migrant crisis on the us mexico border over the past 2 years, we've seen an unprecedented surgeon migration, specifically from countries like venezuela hating nicaragua and cuba. so there was before the summit, this announcement by the united states of a major, a significant policy shift and an agreement with mexico or mexico will be taking in

$30000.00 migrants from the 4 countries that we just mentioned every month. the other side of that deals these are migrant, specifically that are being expelled from the united states after crossing the border illegally. the other side of that deal is that the united states is going to be issuing $30000.00 visas. everybody to migrants from these 4 countries who arrived by plane, who meet certain criteria, such as having sponsors as well in the united states. there was also another, another point on migration statement issued by the white house early on tuesday, briefly outlining another measure which would be allocating further resources to southern mexico. sort of continuing the unofficial policy of containment. preventing migrants from moving toward the u. s. southern border, but a lot still to talk about. we're now in the final stretch of the summit waiting for things to wrap up here before the end of the our lord mayor referred to thank you very much. more still to come this out. the golden globes stay to come back one

but some good news because that means snow over the alpine region and all of that came from the northwest. and there is another pulse of rain to go here on wednesday for the islands of ireland. and britain temperature is still running above where they should be for this year. it is also dropping down some weather across iberia system showers for portugal and spain on wednesday with all that activity in the mediterranean. it's really within up those winds for the coast of tenicia and libya, whether alerts in play could see gas about 60 kilometers per hour across the coastline of libya. to the south, we go heat wave conditions for the western interior of south africa. that's when temperatures are 5 degrees above average for 3 days or more, but temperatures pretty well where they should be for cape town with a high of 27 degrees on wednesday. that's it. that's all we'll see again soon. take care. ah! there are people in the world walk all forms of verification to just go away. so we

need people fighting against that. we are trying to see if it's a fake of you maybe in syria, but in a different time. they risk a great deal to find out the truth in very complex situations that include major global players. we've been targeted by you cyber attacks from russia. they're all they just do this kind of work welling. cat truth in a post truth world on al jazeera via is at a tipping point. scientists are telling us that we have just 12 years as the world's leaders fail to agree upon a solution. people are taking matters into that we're talking about the property now. we're trying to get people to understand that it kills people and that it kills people. now it's already killing people, thrice the people's voice on al jazeera. ah

ah, top stories, you'll notice era russian forces are stepped up. they're sold on the small salt mining town. um, so the dog in the east of ukraine, the british defense ministries, as it appears, russia has taken control of much of a town blocking a key ukrainian supply line to back moot. the peruvian government has ordered a curfew for the southern region of pu, know, after at least 17 people were killed during anti government. demonstrations on monday is the most violent day since purchase began in december demanding, and election and the resignation of presidency. nevertheless, brazil's president has criticized the army for not doing enough to stop support of his supporters of his predecessor,

loves archie party, bizarre movies. but competing with that and giving it a run for its money might be the ban she's of in a, sharon stalling, starring call and farrell. and he is expected to take home the top acting prize. a much detest joining us. thank you. and pacific storm continues to bring to mental rain to california a day off to flooding and mudslide risks to get the vacation of thousands of people . at least 16 people have been killed since last week, and more than 34000000 on the front warnings and the 230000 homes and businesses are without power. another storm is expected to hit parts of the state on wednesday . rob reynolds has moved from santa cruz for the past week and more california has really been suffering from this just relentless parade of very severe storms of meteorologist called m. atmospheric rivers, one after the other site closed,

and shortages a few food and medicine for months. the economic hardship triggered protests and the removal of for president got to buy a roger pac sir, his successor, renelle wicker, missing his pledge to restore economic stability that has warned reforms will be painful in our fernandez report. this is a rare sight in chill anchors present. economic crisis, new hires for the rear was department. the government had frozen recruitment and lowered the retirement age to 60, across the public sector in order to save money. that some lakes me the sooner rather than the says, this is not the we right. yes, even gabby salary, if state sector workers retire their pension, have to be paid a salary when they're working on contract and overtime must also be paid. but whereas if they're given an extension, it government enough to pay just $1.00 solidity, him on the retirement ruled, forced over $20000.00 workers,

out of their jobs. on december 31st sending ripples across the country, dozens of trains were cancelled, and the health sector was thrown into chaos with some hospitals reportedly losing their entire staff of specialists. meanwhile, government plans to increase electricity prices for a 2nd time in 5 months have been met with stiff resistance from regulators, me within our values here. now if the proposal increase, electricity comes from the cabinet. we are ready to nullify and reject it at a time. we are seeing malnutrition, and unemployment, and similar problems. we don't believe that is the time for an increase. the government is determined to go ahead with the hike, consulting the attorney general about how it can proceed without the commissions approval rate hikes and painful cuts to government spending are required to secure 2900000000 dollar bailout from the international monetary fund. experts say it is

a vital lifeline for shall anchor as it struggles to confront the worst economic crisis in its history. dian with guidance is very important to us. yes, it's going to mirror very painful for a short period. but a friend all water, all this up in 4th period, if you don't want to order these decisions and make adjustments and reforms to off his col policy. i believe the situation in sri lanka would get worse um than what we experienced in march. april may, june, period prison. dr. dickerson's who previously served as prime minister during the height of the economic crisis is keen to show he's in control presiding over the 1st working day of the new year. for decades, successive governments have implemented populate measures such as subsidizing fuel and electricity keeping interests low and filling the public sector with political

appointees. all of this has created a massive financial burden and reducing that expenditure as part of a series of conditions to secure an i. m. f. bailout is not proving easy. minette fernandez or de 0 colombo, the church of england says it will fund the program of investment research and engagement to try to quote address past wrongs in relation to its links to the slave trade. the churches commissioners board will pass more than $120000000.00 us dollars over the next 9 years. may need to make up for a 2nd, you know, for financial scheme, heavily invested in a company that traded in slaves. people. the scheme was called queen anne's bounty . bounty was used to support poor clergy or by land. it was then subsumed into the church commissioners endowment, which is not worth more than $11000000000.00 us dollars. a church will use the fund announced on tuesday to support projects that improve opportunities for communities that suffered from slavery. they weren't co money, reparations as

a scheme when compensate individuals. christopher brown is a professor of history at columbia university. his also the author of moral capital, foundations, of british abolitionism and of arming slaves from the classical era to the modern age. he joins me now from russian in massachusetts. thanks very much indeed for being with us. so i wonder what your reaction was to the church of england statement of on the involvement and what that is called the shameful historic links to, to slavery. yeah, i'm pleased. it's a very welcome development. especially the commitment to not only acknowledge the wrong to the past and the churches role in them, but actually so look forward and try to address, turn inequality some of the legacy of slavery to try to make lives communities stronger, going forward and history just to go back to the history of what, what was the extent of the involvement of the church of england in the same trade?

yeah, i mean, what their report that's come out is it really establishes the extent of investment in the south sea company, which was a british enterprise that trafficked in african men, women and children, and sold them to the spanish colonies in the americas. but more broadly, you know, clergymen from the church of england throughout the colonies own slaves and a sort of shares and plantations. the church of england itself in society for the propagation of the gospel, operate the plantation of its own. so, you know, this is a, a connection that deep and broad. it's really very welcome to have a full acknowledgment of that and investigation of it, the confrontation with it. it's really trying to figure out what steps forward look like. what about the money that they're promising?

so 100000000 pounds is a 100000000 look into to address the past wrongs what, what you know, how they going to spend the money? what, what difference will it make? well, obviously that's for the, the folks who are appointed to decide, obviously the there's lots of useful ways that those funds could be devoted most obviously to the british caribbean, which has felt the legacies of slavery most directly with. busy all of the folks who live there one way or another, almost all descendants of, of slaves from that era. but i think it's also worth thinking about the, those who have come to britain itself, those who are the descendants of slaves, is obviously opportunities to help communities to help schools. and you know, i would, i would really be pleased if it led to broader educational perspective. the church did some work to try to encourage a greater understanding of the history and how does the churches approach compared

to some of the other institutions that might have been involved in similar ways. and then do you think that it will you know, perhaps change the way other institutions look at us? yeah, i hope so. i hope so. i mean, there's a real opportunity for leadership here. you know, recently as recently as 1520 years ago, no institution wanted to do this kind of examination of its time slavery. and i think we're finding now that it's more do that. they realize a basic truth about this era, which is that all institute missions of any wealth and power from this era in one way or another, were connected to the institution of slavery to the atlantic slave trade. and so, you know, it's a, it's really a necessary, we're really trying to understand that pass. and my hope is that the church of england taking leadership appear will simply galvanized, catalyze that, that, that, you know, those, those kinds of investigations is a lot more to learn

a lot more information in the archives of companies, of colleges and universities. institutions, not only in britain, but all around western europe in the americas, we still have so much more to learn about the era of slave slave trades as part of our common history. it's not just the history of africans, or african americans or for britain. this was a common history of, of western europe in the america. and so something that we really need to try to understand better. christopher brown, thank you very much indeed and thank you, my po and you strap as columbia spoke with you of thanks very much for joining us. no worries. thank you. now, austria is supreme court has dropped a terror case against a well and professor of egyptian origin following, and algeria documentary hurried half as was charged along with dozens of activists in november 2020 in january. last year. the program was what is hidden is greater add on algebra,

of li, as israel living in the occupied where spike, you're still living on the israeli law. now it's gone to its 1st reading. it will go to a 2nd and go to a 3rd. that's fairly standard for all or is really laws or get harsh, but like i say there's no danger of this not being passed because it wasn't past then it would be a huge story because it, you would effectively be abandoning all of those or israelis who are living in the occupied at westmark and that would never happen sometimes though the law has been used to test the popularity of a government and it gone to a 3rd reading and then it hasn't been voted on. but it is always pretty much voted in, as we've seen since the occupation began. now if you're palestinian, on the other hand, you come under a completely different set of laws. you come on the israeli military laws because israel is clearly the occupies all the west pike. that's a different justice system. so it's very discriminatory. a lot of international organizations call this 2 tier system. apartheid is re,
