pope francis biggest unions of joined the forces to lead this protest itself is unusual. they don't often come together. axel, personally from one of the biggest, the cdc axle, what are you hoping is going to be the result of this protest? well, we hope that the result of this protest will be workers from both private and public sector making the decision from now on not take a step back further and we want to defeat the government due to me, the general strike, to defeat the government plan aimed at raising the retirement age from the current, 62 to the plan, 643 to where the government is open, most french are against microns reform of punch system. but most 90 degree the pension system does need some sort of recall. so what do you do? oh, well, the pension system needs to be reformed, that we completely agree with goodbye reforms. of course, we named at improving the french and system and by improving the printer system, we have a simple analysis which is that the printer system were founded approximately 7
9:07 pm
years ago when the country that had just left 2nd world war, where we have much less money than today, how do you pay for? well, when you look at the amount of the b and b, the amount of shareholder the, of the profits made by the shareholders and the amount of wealth at this rate in the country. today, we are saying we should use a bit more of that wealth to fund decent pensions. we're all workers, group of public and private sector rather than pretending to be enriching. those were all different if a society at the terms of who has got to use and benefit from the wealth, our labor grades and that from young strike today. very much so the unions hoping this will evolve into a broader social movement, protesting the government policies, not just a pension recall, but although also protesting about me. continuing cost of living price is a plenty more still ahead here on this news hour, including lebanon remaining and a political vacuum off the parliament failed to elect a new president for the 11th time. and the u. s. had to record
9:08 pm
$31.00 trillion dollar borrowing limits that he was saved for political showdown on capital hill. and another content for this year is a strategy, an open title is not found at the running type. those details coming out ah, that's alec baldwin, is expected to fail, will, will be facing involuntary manslaughter charges over the film set, shooting in 2021. baldwin was pointing a gun on the sat of the film rust when it went off wounding and killing cinematographer. alina hutchins, reynolds is live for a standing by in los angeles, and several other building will be charged. what reaction of within well, of in response to these some charges that were announced of involuntary manslaughter against the actor. alec baldwin, his attorney, a loop negus said in a statement,
9:09 pm
this decision distorts alina hutchins. tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. because said that the baldwin relied on the assurances of other professionals on the set that there was no live ammunition in the gun that he was holding the discharged and killed the cinematographer helene. hutchins nicholas added, we will fight these charges and we will win. now, in addition to the involuntary manslaughter charges against alec baldwin, the armorer on the set, the person who is in charge of making sure that all weapons are safely handled. a hannah gutierrez read, she will also face involuntary manslaughter charges. and one other person in assistant director, dave halls, the person who actually handed the reproduction cold, $45.00 revolver to a baldwin has pleaded guilty to
9:10 pm
a lesser charge as of a negligent use of a deadly weapon. but there's a lot, we still don't know about this case, which may perhaps come out at trial a chief among them. the question of how did a lie the ammunition, which was supposed to, under no circumstances be anywhere near the set, how did it get there? how did it get into the gun? and ha, ha, how was it that investigators were later able to find 5 other live bullets on the set of this western being filmed? outside the santa fe, new mexico? the prosecutor, andrea reeves said, in a written statement, if any of the 3 people involved in this had who were charged had on their jobs, alina hutchins would be alive today. as she also said that there is evidence clearly showing a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the rust sat,
9:11 pm
the movie of 4 of which ah, baldwin was also those the not only the star, but also the co producer was a low budget production. there have been repeated reports and rumors in the hollywood circles that the corners were being caught and things were being done in order to reduce costs. so perhaps some of that will come out in a factual form at trial as well. baldwin has repeatedly claimed that he didn't pull the trigger and that he didn't, he was told that it was so called cold gone. in other words, not loaded with alive round a. he said that when he was handed the gun, it somehow malfunctioned and fired without him pulling the trigger. however, the f. b, i investigated the gun. they determined that it could not have fired in such a way without the trigger itself being, being pulled. so we will see what happens next. there will be
9:12 pm
a legal process of the, of people of charge baldwin and gutierrez reed, are expected to be summonsed to appear in new mexico for preliminary hearings. laura rob, thanks very much for that. update. rob reynolds reporting that from los angeles on the final of their ray ban gulf comp has going ahead in iraq. he said he have basra, despite full people bait killed and a stan pete outside the stadium. earlier. football fans were trying to get in to the stadium hours before the match. many of them without tickets went up to lead, to have more on the atmosphere in the city. since the sam paid the people of bus route try to forget this time piece that happened at the entrance gate. of that main is stadium which is allocated to host the final match between iraq and
9:13 pm
oman. many fans lame the football association as they say, if we're not doing enough to regulate that, that gets, it saves and that according to them has resulted in lack market sales. they say that's a major part behind this time. p that has caused that as part of the coast, the stampede, as many fans who did not manage to buy tickets. they tried to push their own way through the entrance gate of the stadium to see their heroes in action at the stadium. but despite this pilot, this time pete peep in here from across iraq, they mingle with other football fans from other gulf estates. they try to highlight the cut for heritage, the cultural heritage of the city. there is some thought of carnival light

atmosphere here. they say they're proud that their country is finally posting this tournament. after more than for the case is ready for says have chosen kill 2 palestinians during a raid in the jenin refugee camp in the occupied glass bank. that at say the number of palestinians killed by israeli forces this month to 17. and one con has more from ramallah. in the early hours israeli special forces, backed by the army, carried out arrayed engineer refugee camp. the fire fight was intense. one palestinian fighter, 25 year old, other jabbering, was killed. another man, unarmed and not a fighter, was also shot dead. 57 jo jawad, 3, but were connie was a teacher or a local school. his son describes will happened one of 2 and her phone on her young is really special forces into the camp at 2 30 am. they stormed the building at am
9:15 pm

9:16 pm
killings and rates on a daily basis. the latest is really elections and colds to expel all palestinians. him. israel shows no signs of stopping or even reducing rates like these. and this far right government is openly hostile to old house linens, a combination that has led to violence. the past, this mural commemorates the armed intifada. the armed struggle in the year, 2000 now many here say another reckoning with israel is coming. then the question is, what shape take? and that question is being off with ever more increasing frequency him on con, i'll just, there are the longest held palestinian israeli presidents and back home after 40 years behind bars. no celebrations in the village of ira to well come home my hi eunice, he and his cousin, karima, convicted of kidnapping and killing and israeli soldier in the 1980s carry munich, was released earlier this month. rights groups estimate more than 4000 palestinian
9:17 pm
prisoners are in israeli jails. several politicians, 11 and the staging assisted in the parliament after nor make, has failed to elect a precedent for the 11th consecutive time without the functioning government, lebanon con, to doctor range of economic reforms, and stopping wasteful spending and combatting rampant corruption in order reports from buried inside lebanon's parliament, a number of m p, 's or staging and indefinite sit in their frustrated by the failure to elect the president. and they're promising not to leave at least until the next session is scheduled, journalists are prevented from entering the building. it appears the governing alliance doesn't want these photograph made public. but these images of mil him halla furniture, silly, but inside the legislature have been released. they are members of the so called change forces, or reformists, some of whom met journalists outside the parliament building. they may be in the
9:18 pm
minority, but they say they'll continue to call for a president from outside the political elite who is able to address the economic collapse. i'll muscle into their brains ramadi. holland is the institution responsible to elect the president. there shouldn't be any intervention by foreign players and political deals should not be made at the. this is the way the political class has been running the country for decades. and that is what has led to the situation of the parliament is deeply fragmented. no party or alliance has enough support to elect a president in the 1st round of voting. the protesting empties argue the constitution calls for open sessions. but the governing alliance lead by she are parties has been law and the movement prevent a quorum by walking out there trying to actually trying to, i mean, their strategy is to actually agree on the present outside of the institution and been tried to come up with a name and for everybody, what we're saying,
9:19 pm
we need to get back the practice of politics by leaving the member obama themselves elect, who they, who they think it's fit for the, for the road. as simple as about, there is a proposal for a so called consensus president to be agreed and dialogue comes outside parliament . lebanon has been without the president for times in its recent history. but this time there's also no functioning government. it's an unprecedented power vacuum, and many fear it could be a long one. all the while, the economic and financial crises are deteriorating and the local currency is continuing to lose value. it now trades at around $50000.00 lire to the dollar. it used to be worth $33.00, said for their elders. either they root ah ukrainian president brought him as lensky as calling on europe to show more urgency and supplying arms to his country. in speaking up to meeting your appearing counsel,
9:20 pm
president, shall michelle, who's visiting keith, will teach dan to oppose thousands of tangs of the russian federation. bravery of our serviceman and motivation of ukrainian pupil is not enough force. we need that pens. we, i do need a lot of artillery systems or adequate number of tanks made his military chief says russia is likely to launch a new offensive in ukraine in the spring. but admiral robot warned ukraine will need tanks to match russian equipment. germany is under pressure to supply leopard to battle tanks to help you claim war effort. dominic cane has this update from brussels. the logistics of supplying ukraine were high on the agenda here at nissan headquarters in brussels on 1st a. the military committee was in session. that's the committee where general admirals and so forth are in session. the central question for them coming from
9:21 pm
members of the media after the committee meeting was over. what about tanks for ukraine? what sort of systems could be delivered, and what effect might they have sent? surely the leopards, 2 tank created by germany, part of the off of many european nations, but not part of the ukrainian arsenal yet. well, the view here is that because russia has tanks, the supreme commander of ne, so says that ukrainians want to have thanks to that company decided here. that sort of question is one to be decided perhaps on friday in western germany, in ramstein, when the ministers of ne, so defense ministers will be meeting one of the key developments emerging from the european perspective on thursday. in strasburg, the european parliament, passing and resolution calling for the establishment of a tribunal to prosecute individuals who may have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity in ukraine. the passcode sir james space has spoken to minister and devils about ukraine's plea for new weapons. behind the scenes here,
9:22 pm
and deb also has been a great deal of active diplomacy about ukraine. much of it focusing on what weapons should go to the country following a fresh appeal from presidency. lensky. the focus has been on tanks and in particular, on germany. germany has the leper to tank. will it send that tank to ukraine? germany is all so sold leopard two's tanks to many, e u a nato nations and germany needs to give them permission to pass that tanks if they want to. to ukraine. i asked the dutch foreign minister about this issue, whether germany should now change its position while it is not up to me to, to, to, to comment on the, on, on, on a german government who has done a lot in this, in this conflict. i should be a comment. it's for, for tremendous leadership that's, that's that they have displayed. yes, you are right. time is of essence for ukrainians. and therefore we not only need to gets the right stuff. we need to do it as quickly as possible. but i'm optimistic
9:23 pm
that's also in the face that we're now embarking on. we, in europe, in north america, we'll be able to provide ukraine with what they need a more. that is our obligation not only to help them win the war, but also for the safety and security of our european. so the u. s. congressman seth moulton is here as part of a u. s. congressional delegation. he says after a high level meeting they had, he believes he understands the german government's position, but what germany has said to us and the congressional delegation here, sat down with the chancellor just yesterday. if they are following the u. s. lead, we understand that we are the leader of this effort. and if germany says that we should send some tanks to enable them to send some tanks. i don't think that's an unreasonable request. but at the end of the day, we want to see those german tanks of the best tanks in the world on the front because that's what ukraine will need for this next phase of the war. you tanks are
9:24 pm
more of an offensive weapon that a defensive weapon. ukraine needs to take back territory to ultimately not only restore the nation, the sovereign nation of ukraine, but also to force the russians into a more reasonable negotiating position. so that ultimately we might see an end to this war. this is w is winding down, but on the issue of you, rain and weapons, the ukraine, all of the action now moved to germany and the u. s. air base at ramstein in germany, where a meeting is taking place of defense ministers of nato. and where they'll decide exactly what new military aid ukraine is going to catch. science present. she's in pink, says he's concerned about coven 19 spreading in the countryside as millions had home for the upcoming luna. new year's celebrations, concerns are growing for the elderly who might be exposed to the virus as katrina. you reports. many chinese are still mourning, the deaths of loved ones looted year is traditionally

schools and refineries and actor alec baldwin will face involuntary manslaughter charges. so over the phone set, shooting in 2021. baldwin was pointing a gun on the set of the film rust when it went off, wounding and killing cinematographer. helena hutchins the us government is due to hit it's $31.00 trillion dollar borrowing limit on thursday that sets the stage for a political showdown between the biden administration and politicians on capitol hill. and i'm fisher has more from washington dc. the treasury department warned weeks ago that there was going to be the possibility they would have to take extraordinary measures if the country run up against this debt limit. and that's exactly what's happened in the last couple of hours. us treasury secretary, janet yellen has written to kevin mccarthy, the leader of the house, and also senior figures on capitol hill saying that she's going to start those extraordinary measures to what is she doing not being in to certain government retirement funds for the time being. she's also looking at perhaps realizing some
9:32 pm
investments yes, government has made and she's also seeing that as we move through this process, she's going to have to start moving money around us departments as well. that is going to put pressure on those in the white house. and also those up there on capitol hill. the question will be, what can they do to avoid the u. s. defaulting on its debt that kevin mccarthy, when he was elected as speaker of the house, managed to do so by getting some votes from republicans who said that they wanted to see spending cuts when the debt limit came up. now, joe biden, and the white house said that simply not going to happen, that this bill must be passed clean and done. so just like they've done for republican and democratic presidents in the past. now, if there is a problem, this could cause a real difficulty in the u. s. economy and by extension, or with the world economy as well, back in 2011, when republicans and then president barack obama couldn't come to an agreement. the
9:33 pm
us lost its top credit rating for the 1st time ever, and there was a tremor through the world economy that something that joe biden is keen to avoid, particularly given that the economy seems to be recovering from high inflation and high gas prices. and also things are becoming slightly easier for many families and america. so it's going to be a very interesting 2 or 3 months as the u. s. comes up against this debt limit, not on the verge of defaulting. no, but certainly the issue is there and it's got to be dealt with quickly. william leigh is chief economist with the milken institution, joins us now. so from washington dc, get to have you with us. if possible, can you explain why the u. s. has this debt ceiling? this legislation on liberty, the size, the federal debt has been put in place of state and 17. and the original intent by congress was to try to limit the amount of federal spending and limit the amount of
9:34 pm
borrowing it did. but also to facilitate the say that you're allowed to borrow up to a certain limit. unfortunately, this legislation has carried forward all year after year and has resulted in this traumatic kabuki dance, where politicians are using that, that ceiling legislation as an instrument to get their political agendas across all in 2011. the obama wanted to increase entitlements and increase federal spending. of the republican said no, you have to finance it using taxes and not by borrowing. and that led, of course, to this dramatic, the fall where the week delayed paying interest or on our, on our outstanding obligations. and those repercussions that were huge, had the, the world was shot that the u. s. would not pay long time. now we are facing a similar situation where yet again, the need to increase the debt ceiling faces us and, and, and we have different political agendas on the table right now. in many countries across the world, grapple with, with a high debt. why does no one else have went on any of the others have at that
9:35 pm
ceiling? laura, that's that, that's a great point. busy are colin's the only other country i can think of off hand that has the death ceiling and they've done it in a way that's very smart. they said that well, you cannot raise your debt limits of beyond 60 percent of g d p. so as cheap, it grows over time, or you can borrow more and more and, and united states are unfortunately, hasn't nominal ceiling of wood shop which limits it year after year to have to increase only because g d, p inflation has gone up. other countries also ah, borrow in foreign currencies, whereas the united states, i issues dead in u. s. dollars and the holders abroad of the foreign debt are willing to take you us dollars about a 3rd of us that has held by foreigners off of that is held by japan. so and japan's a great ally to us and, and so they're willing to accept dollars as payment. so u. s. has never faced the kind of constraints of the countries hand in limiting the amount of, of, of, of, of debt issues because it doesn't have enough foreign exchange to pay it off. the u
9:36 pm
. s. can always pay off the debt by pretty dollars. but of course, at least the massive inflation around the world itself is in reco amounts of debt. the i m f says that some 15 percent of low income countries are in debt distress. i mean, the sort of sustainable situation is it. absolutely, and, and the i method where i used to work, i has a very clear framework that calculates what your maximum debt allowance should be as a shared g, d, p, and as a, as a, as a percentage of interest as the interest rate rises, you are limited even yet again, in your ability to pay off even interest them so that, that, unfortunately united states are because it's a reserve currency is freed from that constraint. and so what we find then is that the political agenda dictates the, the dynamics of the debt ceiling rather than the economics involved in a global economy is in the doldrums. once again, if the, if the u. s. does default this time on the,
9:37 pm
it's payments. we payments what would the impact i think chart shirt the secretary yellen is, is absolutely right to say it would have devastating consequences even more so now than before. because so much of the u. s. that is being held abroad. and so much of the international financial system depends on the solid guaranteed or safety of the us treasury of securities as the basis of pricing all of the securities. so, so once we disrupt that confidence in the u. s. saw a treasury bill or treasury note, all other debt starts to come into question. the pricing on all other dead starts to get out of whack. and that's where you have these huge international repercussions when m. l m li, big a pot. and as a great speech, thanks very much for taking time to break it down for us. thanks. i me has been almost 3 weeks since croatia adopted the euro as its currency. and the switch from corona has left many convinced that businesses may be exploiting
9:38 pm
a transition. stephanie deca has more it's been almost 3 weeks since croatia adopted the euro as it's currency. and people aren't happy for 0 supposedly. i felt the increase in food prices from january, the 1st i like to eat a lot and that's a problem because fruit is expensive compared to the salaries as they are currently . a lot of people i know who started looking for another job. oh settle this more said we all felt the price increase at least 30 percent higher for everything. some traders say they are rounding a prices when converting the old currency the kuna into euro's others have denied the increases. the gracious consumer protection body says the government is proof. some outlets are marking up goods and we will not be in a few days ago. we got a statement from the minister of economy that inspections were carried out and that up to 40 percent of retailers were raising prices. unjustifiable. the government is warned. it will find retailers that fail to reduce their prices to pre euro levels
9:39 pm
