thought 11 percent of vote of cost ballot. it was meant to reshape the legislature to solve for the president of the thief, executive powers in july 2021. ah. but now k, i said is under pressure from growing opposition groups and anger on the streets nor han alta theorem. thousands people in tel aviv have demonstrated against the new israeli governments planned overhaul of the judicial system. i minister benjamin netanyahu far right administration has unveiled sweeping changes his critics say, could we can the supreme court's power protest to say that the proposals threatened democracy and the independence of the judiciary demonstrations were also held in haifa. and outside the president's residence in west tourist them, around con was out the protests in television. the organizers hoping for a significant set out that we're hoping for 50000 people. we don't know if 50000
8:09 am
people have turned up, the police will get that estimate in the next couple of days with significant probably larger than last weekend. now this began as a protest with proposed changes to the supreme court by the justice with which a group rolling back this group on over to kinetic milam entry decisions. but it's getting why didn't that now learn more about israel's democracy? they're very worried about minority rights within the country and they're coming out in huge number. and they're very worried about the fact that they say the benjamin netanyahu. the prime minister is becoming a dictator in this country. dictator is aware that we've been hearing throughout the evening now we help in talking to some of the protesters. let's take a listen to what they had to say. the freshies in israel got the government, you know, the coalition and the 1st row are making a change in the league of system of israel. so, so now if i don't know how soon,
8:10 am
but still an op, we won't be able to, i'm done with another project. says are hoping that this becomes a very regular site and i think that it gets bigger and bigger and bigger. now the idea that it doesn't really challenge the government right now, well, there was a good, i was really causes a political voice. remember, i look forward to learn who use on the purchase is hoping that this will work another election. i'm trying to help back some of them out of this particular . all right, go ahead of the world health organization has spoken with china's top health official and welcome the public release of data on cove 19 related death. beijing says that nearly 60000 people have died in hospitals since it lifted straight corona virus restrictions in early december. now,
8:11 am
china had previously reported just over 5000 deaths and started pandemic. beijing has been accused of downplaying. the severity of the outbreak of some scientists forecasts they'll be at least $1000000.00 current of ours related deaths in china by the end of the year. oksana pisec is a lecture at the university college london school of pharmacy. she says there is still questions about the accuracy of beijing's coven 19 numbers. credit to the w show, and many other critics. there is concern that there's lots of transparency around these figures. other models have estimated that it's probably more likely that at the height of the peak, that $9000.00 people were dying a day. so that doesn't really add up to the estimates that have been provided by the c c p. because what we do know that is that it's not just a respiratory disease and effects all organs in the body and it's linked to all sorts of different ways in which people may pass away predominantly through blood
8:12 am
clotting. and so again, that's probably a big part of the defining the death as well as people not being able to access hospitals, that there's no beds, no space people won't be dying in hospitals, will be dying somewhere else. so now we do see that the demographics were in the big cities with the better hospitals, and really just more capacity to give care, has now spread more into rural areas of china, where health care systems are less developed. and also vaccination rates are lower . so again, that devastation that's being caused, it's mushrooming. and although these figures are slowing down, we do know that the lunar new year is coming around and there's going to be much more travel across the country. which means that we probably are expected another 2 ways as a result of just that travel alone. the white house lewis says more classified
8:13 am
documents have been found that you as president j biden's residence, richard sofa says he discovered the 5 new pages as he was handing over. another classified page to the department of justice officials has to call hang reports from washington. or we know is they, according to the special, the white house counsel's office, put out a statement said basically where they search the president. tell them in wilmington, delaware, they found some classified documents in the garage and another one page in a storage area. a just, just next to the garage, what the council saying is the lawyers, the president's private lawyers who are going through this, they didn't have security clearance. so when they saw that marking, they closed the box, they shut the room and they just what? no further. now the white house council says he has security clearance, so he went up thursday night up to wilmington, delaware, so that he could hand over those documents to the department of justice. he says in
8:14 am
that box where they found that 1st document, they found 5 additional documents with classification markets. now, what we don't know is exactly how high the classification was in the u. s. government, there is a confidential secret. and then top, secret top secret is described as if that got out, it couldn't pose a grave danger to the country. we do know that in the office here in washington, dc, we believe there were documents listed as top secret. we don't know how many we're thinking about in all. there was about 20 documents now 25. so what they said is they've handed that over to the department of justice. as you mentioned, a special prosecutor is going to take a look at get those documents. next. what this does though, is it just keeps the story in the headlines for president biden, who'd like to move on. but this is really been any the only thing reporters, the white house briefings have been asking about every time there's the new announcement, it leads to the news in the local newspapers. so it just shows that this is
8:15 am
a story and a headache for the president, a political headache that possibly will be going away anytime soon. the u. k is withdrawing its ambassador from iran off to the execution of a british, iranian national. it's all say, sanctioning the iranian prosecutor, general ali reza acc, body of former iranian defense official, was sentenced to death for spying for british intelligence charges. he denied their reports that he made a false confession on the torture. b u. k. prime minister, richie c, not describe barry's execution as barbaric and cowardly. iran summoned the british ambassador investments are still said, it has more i lose that there is execution is one of the highest level executions in the more than history of the iraq. he was a prominent, well connected figure within the power structure in the company had close ties with top diplomats bureaucrats. and with this and steve central institutions in the company are also close. graduate with alicia county,
