2nd day, now supported the former president pedro castillo, who was jailed in december, demanding his release, and for new elections to be held in the country. castillo is being investigated for inciting a rebellion after illegally trying to dissolve congress. marianna sanchez has more from police, can peruse capital lima. we know that it more than 11000 police have been deployed in the capital to ah, to counter this a one or if not 2 days of protest here in the capital, there are guarding the important places for the, for the, for the capitol. they have closed the area, the premises of the presidential palace of congress of the plaza on martin, which is the place where most of these people are on their way to gather their plaza. so nothing is not always the meeting point,
10:03 pm
and we will see not only people from the provinces, but people from other places in the mother capital joining these protestors. i think there's a lot of concern of what will happen to day and tomorrow. others, a national strike here are there's been a nearly 50 people dead related to the protest. so as these say there's a lot of concern and prosecutors will be accompanying police to see what kinds of a weapons they have. it to a counter, the protest today that could become violent. what we've been a felon, a story out of france work has ara again on strike as well, but to this isn't a bit to force present manual micron to drop his plan. pension reforms changes include a proposal to raise the retirement age by 2 years to $64.00 union se the move is an assault on the welfare system railway schools and refineries all being affected by work as walking off the job. so one of the main arguments for pension reform is
10:04 pm
longer life expectancy. the average person is now expected to live until the age of 80 to women's life expectancy is a bit longer at 85 years, a man 79. but that varies remarkably, depending on levels of income. the riches 5 percent of men live, 13 years longer than the poor is 5 percent. opponents argue that raising their time and age penalize is low. paid workers. about 20 percent of farmers in factory work is already incapacitated. by that 1st year of retirement, but it's smith has more from paris. friend unions wanted a big turn out for thursday's nationwide, protests to emphasize the strength of opposition to pension reform. they got their wish. this was central paris. most french people accept the pension system needs reforming, but more than 70 percent, according to the polls are posed to emanuel microns plan, to raise the retirement age to 64. when we look at them out of the b and p,
10:05 pm
the amount of shareholder the, of the profit made by the shareholders and the amount of wealth that is great in the country. today we are saying we should use a bit more of that. well, to fund these at pensions, we're all work is good for public and private sector rather than pretending to be generating. those were only different if it's the site. the french president on a visit to spain says franz can't afford to keep things as they are. not the peak of eve. the presumption in countries where people live longer, where we have created strong and fair welfare system, which rely on equality between generations. at moments where there are fewer and fewer people who are economically active and more and more who are retired. if you want to pack between generations to be fair, this reform needs to be carried out. train drive as teachers and staff that refineries as well as public transport workers were among those who walked off that jobs. trauma. frances, big, a few needs of joint forces to lead in these protests. that's unusual or not. so united these days. and the unions themselves are not as powerful as they once were
10:06 pm
. but they hope that this protest will expand into a broader social movement, not just again, increasingly age retirement, but also going to the continuing cost of living prices. the unions of characterized the reforms as an assault on the countries welfare system because i'm a teacher and i think i'm going to be tired when i'm 64. so i am not sure i'm labeled to 50 children when i'm frequently force only provokes the more like we youngsters are not only here for our south depot and 30 years old. that's what parents are close to 60. and they would have to work 2 or 3 more. yes, the pension reform still needs to go through parliament where micron has lost his absolute majority. so he's hoping to get it past with the support of conservatives . bernard smith, al jazeera paris, ah, including president ultimate lensky as calling on europe to show more urgency in
10:07 pm
supplying arms to his country. he was speaking of to meeting european council president, shall michelle, who's visiting keith. ukraine is pushing for leopard battle tanks, which are held by some nato nations. but his chance for requires that germany is approval by lena said it does not want to act alone on supplies of weapons to ukraine. will dish done to oppose thousands of tangs of the russian federation. bravery of our servicemen and moderation of ukrainian pupil is not enough force. we need weapons we, i do need a lot of artillery systems or adequate number of tanks. while european councils present. charles michelle agrees it more needs to be done to help you crane roof brucell girl is we need to do even more militarily in order to match why we're hearing the message, anti aircraft, the francis artillery systems you munitions. and i said in front of european parliament yesterday, i think tanks need to be delivered. i am repeating that appeal i made in front of
10:08 pm
the european parliament yesterday. we want to support you because we are aware that the coming few weeks might be decisive for what comes next. that's why decisions are now necessary. i've worked with while diplomatic editor james bay spoke to ministers in dallas about ukraine's please for new weapons. behind the scenes here, and i've also 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 presidents and then ski. 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 also sold leper 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 and whether germany should now change its position. while it is not up to me to, to, to, to comment on the, on, on a german government who has done a lot in this,
10:09 pm
in this conflict, i should be implemented for, for tremendous leadership that's, that's, that they have displayed. and yes, you are rights 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 of the mystic. that's also interface 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 when 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 is they are following the u. s. lead. we understand that we are the leader of this effort,
10:10 pm
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, you tanks are more of an offensive, and then 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 devils is winding down, but on the issue of ukraine and weapons to ukraine, all of the action now moves to germany and the u. s. air base at ramstein in germany, where a meeting is taking place of defense ministers of nato, and whether decide exactly what new military aid ukraine is going to get. one of bringing more on our story from perio. now we hearing from diana sanchez in the

10:15 pm
a typical when to set up. be a notice by the time we get the end of friday book restaurant 16 sophie has picked back to 6 chisenazo 13. they're both on the warm side. but this is all heading in that direction. and so is likely in west new crane running through austria and still you'll notice in the alps we've had warnings out in places like the pyrenees . southern france that looks better on friday, but that cold air is now want to get into a true winter storm, giving a huge amount of strong wind and snow and re particularly focused on italy and that carries on during saturday, whilst its mostly coldness. tony for the rest, significant snow for poland, but the stormy weather then crossed at the foot of its ladies affecting the adria attic as well. so you've now got cold weather with snow falling in some parts of this part of europe. jumping south. now north africa is affected by that developing storm, particularly an algerian to nicea everywhere else is fairly quiet. there are still of course coastal showers in west africa.

10:18 pm
stadium. hours before the national team wants to play in the gulf cup final. but many didn't have tickets and the situation rapidly deteriorated as the crowd swelled. fans force that way in climbing over gates and barriers. some scaling was security forces were overwhelmed. i'm sorry that this on the whole crowd started heading towards the stadium at around 6 am. but stumpy happened because many people wanted to enter into the stadium without tickets. security forces couldn't control the situation while rocky fans were angry because they haven't seen an event like this in more than 4 decades. dozens of people have been treated for injuries, including suffocation, authority, say the match was sold out weeks ago. but as this is the 1st time in for decades
10:19 pm
that iraq has hosted an international sporting event, the demand was huge. some fancy blame the countries football association for not doing enough to regulate ticket sales or prevent black market. se is what they say is partly to blame for the stampede roads you were closed in additional police officers deployed to the area. but for government officials urged fans without tickets to stay away from the stadium where he was when i appeal to all within the vicinity of the stadium and all residents have basrah us, announced over the previous 2 days, you're requested not to approach sport city unless you have a match ticket, we've seen massive crowds and we fear stampedes or incidence of suffocation. besides this doubles the load and our security personnel, we request that you follow the rules of organisation given by security personnel. you may follow the game in public spaces,

10:21 pm
on sets will also be charged with involuntary manslaughter. robin joins us live now from los angeles. tell us more about these charges and why they've taken so long to materialize. well, mariama, if this sir, case goes to trial and if he is convicted, alec baldwin faces a at least 5 years in prison. also charge in this case, as you mentioned with involuntary manslaughter. is hannah gutierrez, read she was the armor or on the set of the low budget movie. rust armorer ah, is the, the job of an armor in hollywood is to make sure that all the weapons of any kind on a set are not going to cause any deadly harm. and there was a undisputed li, a live round put into the pistol,
10:22 pm
which was then handed to alex, alec baldwin. ah, the person who handed him the gun assistant producer, david hall's has pleaded guilty to a negligent handling of a of leaf of a lethal weapon. now, baldwin has a responded through his lawyer saying that the decision distorts. hollinger hutchins' tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. his lawyer, luc nicholas said bolden relied on assurances from other professionals on the set that the gun did not hold live rounds. but the prosecutor, in this case, andrea reed also said in a statement that if any of the 3 persons charge had done their job, hannah, how elina hutchins, excuse me, helena hutchins would be alive today. and she said that the evidence clearly showed
10:23 pm
a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the rust sat. there are several mysteries remaining about this at one of them. and really the principal one is how did that lie round get on to the seth of this movie? there should not have been any actual bullets anywhere near the set. there should have been blanks and the that hopefully will be something that will come out at trial. if indeed there is a trial. also wanted to mention that alec baldwin has settled with the hutchins family and a law suit for an undisclosed amount of money that happened last october. i all thank you very much, roberto with that update for us from us angeles. thanks rob. well, in other news, the u. s. government is due to hit it study $1.00 trillion dollar boring limit on thursday. this could set the stage for yes, another political showdown between the bite administration and politicians on
10:24 pm
capitol hill. allan fisher has moved from washington. the treasury department warned weeks ago that there was going to be the possibility they would have to take extraordinary measures if the country ran up against this debt limit. and that's exactly what 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 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,
10:25 pm
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 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,
10:26 pm
but certainly the issue is there and it's got to be dealt with quick. now several top indian wrestlers are protesting against the federation that governs the sport, their accusations of sexual harassment against some coaches and its president who has denied the allegations. athletes also demanding better training conditions. buffy metal has more this now from you delhi. oh, the guntee stop wrestlers, a back, a dispute, a site in the heart of new denny. they said the president of the federation and other coaches have been harassing women for years. that also a legend corruption, an ill treatment of athletes at national camps. they gave you a deputy warden at you though not at all. there are coaches in the national camps who are favorites of the wrestling federation of india and the sexually assault wrestlers, and misbehave with women coaches. they have again been employed at the national camp in spite of my raising my voice against the federation's president as a member of parliament and the governing, bought the jent,
10:27 pm
the party. he's refuting the allegations of don't middle, but again, these are northbrook, the charges that i can just let go of an investigation, should definitely be done. what only time wilton, who will conduct it to death does include some of him. does most decorated athletes? leslie is one of the few thought, what indian women have one metal, including the olympics? they say they're raising their voice for all female resident. wrestling is probably aren't really many actually awkward norms dominate, chide marriage, and forced abortion. the female fetus is common. one of the foster women wrestlers have broken barriers to be international. sporting korea protested the sexism is ramp and an indian force where there are few women in leadership role. the hop in saudi load, a lot of girls see the future in sports because they have all come from marginalized poor families. and we take sports as a measure of mobility and if they are subjected to this kind of harassment,
10:28 pm
how can we keep quiet? that's why we have come forward to support them. i'm guess you back. the government has also federation to respond to these allegations. a national coaching camp has also been cancelled these athletes. i determined to have their voices heard and said they will keep protesting till authorities take action against the federation chief bothering him at the al jazeera, the new delhi. now, new zealand prime ministers into our town as announced her resignation after 5 and a half years in office. and she was elected down was 12. the youngest female leader at 37 years old. as i beg, looks back at a time in office. the news came as a shock to many new zealanders prime minister jacinta arden announced a resignation at the media conference on thursday. i had hoped to find a way to prepare not just for another year, but another tune because that is what this year requires. i have not been able to do that. i know what the job takes and i know that i no longer have enough in the
10:29 pm
tank to do it justice. on the streets, there was a mixed reaction. oh man, awful chills all good. you, you know, raw theo, of leave one else locate me. well, what, what would you do then? i'd, i think she was sam doing very well in the house. anyway, sy, it's good time for her to sit, dan, i think she's booked after the country over some pretty difficult time, so. yeah, no, we're shall. best for the future. i think she's done an amazing job with the situation she's been put on our journey lead new zealand through the christ church massacre in 2019 in which 51 was the worshippers were shot dead. she was quick to call it a terror attack targeting muslims. and in the days following war headscarf, when she met members of the community saying the country was united in grief are dern was widely praised for a swift response to the cove. 19 pandemic. new zealand imposed some of the toughest
10:30 pm
pandemic rules that lasted 2 years. it's recorded one of the lowest death tolls from the virus, but that came to cost recent opinion. polls suggest the prime ministers, popularity has dipped, and the labor parties approval ratings are down with unfulfilled election promises . and a cost of living crisis overseas is definitely viewed very well. whereas i think internally, she's probably maybe lost the public's acceptance syllabus. now it was time for her to go in and no one in the right. mine would have been fighting for him. surely our job was held as a progressive leader. she was only the 2nd woman after bach stands been as in butcher to give birth while in office. and perhaps what people will remember most is the empathy and compassion she showed in moments of crisis. but in her own words, politicians are human and she has no more to give. we give all that we can for as long as we can. and then it's time. and for me.
