2:02 am
protest began last month. following the arrest of former president pedro castillo, were falling. developments in the peruvian capital is marianna sanchez, who joins us now live in marianna. how all these protests evolving? it seems that the list of demands is simply getting longer and longer and the police response firmer and firmer. that's right need. when we have seen in the last hour that says some people have flashed with police in the area. hardly, i'm in that is just a few blocks away from here and i asked this was happening. we saw a group of a rescue team rushing out in this same street going in that direction. and after that, in about a few minutes after that, they brought down a wounded person. one of the members of the rescue team told us that this person
2:03 am
was seriously wounded in the head. we don't know what kind of wound he has, but what we know is that there's been a lot of what's to me asking what kind of weapons the police has was going to use prosecutors, we're going to be escorting, accompanying the police to verify that these were instrumental materials used that were allowed and were permitted and legal to counter the protest need. ah, but to so far there's a lot of people still marching in the streets of the capital and they are a walking or very energetic for many hours now. me? yes, marianna, we're looking at live pictures of the scene rows of riot police and large numbers of demonstrations as well. is there a geo political dimension to the protest? marianna, for, of course is rich and natural resources not to mention liquefied natural gas. many
2:04 am
of the protests, of course, are from indigenous communities. yes, me, well this is an angle to it. for instance, we were asked to knock in the very remote village, which is very close to cool school. i have who told so very close to postpone people were telling us, well we have resources that are very odd that are very close to us. why do we pay us so much money for our gas or gas bills are very high, but that's really secondary. i think the most important thing here is that many people and most of the people who voted for a former president bill, august the you're now one, she's promising to be delivered. he offered irrigation programs, he offered an agrarian reform, he offered a change of loss. i've talked to additional reform, and actually that's,
2:05 am
that's not what people are getting. so what, when they see that castillo is gone. they are here because they want those promises to be delivered. and they believe that the, you know, will not be, is a traitor. and she will not deliver on those promises. so that's why the main voice here in the streets of the capital and around the country, our voices for her resignation. i, marianna, i mean the coven governments of dina, belong to have previously blame some of peruse neighbors for stirring up process. is there any evidence of any external meddling and all of this? well, actually no need for the prime minister. you know, a lot of it, they have been saying many things like that. if it been ever more able what i was a former president of believe me, i was meddling. and paula did that. he was sort of organizing things. munition was
2:06 am
coming in from from bolivia, some things that they have absolutely not been, it have showed any proof of it. and they've also said that the drug traffickers, that drug money was, was financing these protests on that illegal miners were financing these products. but i think that the answer is in the telephone at me because every one, even in the most remote areas of this country, everyone has a phone and everyone. we've seen them people in the highlands in remote areas where there was no, no, no foreigners, at all. people looking at their phones, listening to what was happening in the country and understanding corruption, understanding the political instability, and people really having their own opinions on what is happening in the country. this is not, these properties are not led by people. these are the people themselves who are
2:07 am
leading themselves into demanding the resignation of the not to have the rights of the people who have for so long been disenfranchised in this country. and that's why they have come here to the capital the name marianna. many thanks for the update, myra sanchez, there in the previous capital. lima on a 2nd day of protests. now ukraine's president is calling for decisive action on fir, the foreign weapon supplies the head of a meeting of western allies and germany on friday followed me. zalinski urge them to deliver more sophisticated weapons including german, made a leopard battle tanks leaps. she, she'll call him up till there is a vaccine against russian tyranny. and there is a vaccine against his weapon. it is no and there is a list of countries that have it. there is a specific list from us that we need want to helped us helping them no dialogue or just help the group resource is we need to do even more militarily in order. and
2:08 am
that's why we are hearing the message, anti aircraft, defense systems artillery system, resume munitions, and i said in front of europe in parliament yesterday, i think tanks need to be delivered. and ukrainian, an russian forces remain locked in battle around the front line. city of buck, mood, al jazeera, spoke to one ukrainian tongue commander that, and he told us why the german made tanks would be a game changer. gresham with his the 6th period and with the village nova receiving the leopards, will make us better all around. in terms of firepower, maneuverability, moving target, acquisition, and recoil stabilization, which improves accuracy. it's more powerful in every way. it has modern armor is very well protected and is famous for its safety. along with the challenger, it's hit on because more w mama's more. these tanks would allow us to counter attack and break the defensive line of the enemy, as well as work under the cover of air power and artillery. the russians have powerful and modern anti tank missiles, however,
2:09 am
they can't destroy the leopard or the challenger, because they have modern armor. the crews are well protected and said this was leo was sure it's very important because the lives of our infantry artillerymen and paratroopers are at stake. it's human lives matter. the leopards will enable us to stop the russians and push them back from our borders. launch a counter offensive and destroy the enemy. pro crane activists from serbia have filed criminal compl against russia's wagner mercenary group in its supporters, accusing them of recruiting serbs to fight in ukraine. moscow has relied heavily on the private military group during the war. however, serbian law prohibits it citizens for participating and conflicts abroad sheet. and yet mirage near spreading hatred among serbs towards ukrainians towards people who have never in history done anything bad to serbia is a crime and that crime must be prosecuted. the spread of hate propaganda leads to violence and war, and that is not necessary here, nor anywhere in europe. in other news, the white house says the u. s. congress will come together and work to avoid
2:10 am
a debt default. that's after the country hit. it's $31.00 trillion dollar borrowing limit on thursday or concerns. a political showdown could unsettled markets and trigger recession. alam fisher reports 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 investments yes, government has made and she's also saying 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
2:11 am
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 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
2:12 am
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. well, william lee is chief economists with the milken institute. he has more on how politicians use the debt ceiling to push their agendas. this legislation on limiting the size, the federal debt has been put in place in stated 17. and the original intent by congress was to try to limit the amount of federal spending and limit the amount of borrowing it did. but also to facilitate the state that you're allowed to borrow up to a certain limit. unfortunately, this legislation has carried forward a year after year and has resulted in this traumatic kabuki dance, where politicians are using the debt ceiling legislation as an instrument to get their political agenda across in 2011. the obama wanted to increase entitlements
2:13 am
and increased federal spending. of the republican said, no, you have to finance it, used in taxes and not by borrowing. and that late, of course, of this dramatic, the fall with the late paying interest on our, on our outstanding obligations and those repercussions that were huge, had the world was shot that us would not pay on time. now we are facing a similar situation where yet again, the need to increase the debt ceiling faces us and, and we have different political agendas on the table right now. other countries also borrow in foreign currencies, whereas the united states are issues that us dollars and the holders abroad of the for debt. a willing to take us dollars about a 3rd of us that is held by foreigners, half of that is held like japan. so and japan is a great ally to us and so they're willing to accept dollars as payment. c, u. s. has never faced the kind of constraints of the countries in limiting the amount of debt issues because those have no foreign exchange to pay it off. the u.
2:14 am
s. can always pay off the debt by pretty dollars. but of course, at least the massive inflation around the world. well that a 1000000 people in france marched against plan pension reforms. president manuel micron wants to raise the retirement age by 2 years to 64 union. so the move is an assault on the welfare system. bernard smith has moved from paris. friends unions wanted a big turn out for thursdays nationwide pro 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 you look at them out of the b and p, the amount of shareholder the, of the profit 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. well, upon decent pensions, we're all workers go to public and private sector, rather than continuing to meet and reaching those raleigh directive as the site.
2:15 am
the french president on a visit to spain says franz can't afford to keep things as they are. not a peak if he's the prison colonel 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 peg between generations to be fair. this reform needs to be carried out. train drive as teachers and stafford refineries as well as public transport workers, were among those who walked off their jobs. trauma, frances biggest unions 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, but they hope that this protest will expand into a broader social movement not just against increasing the age of retirement, but also hence the continuing cost of living crisis. the unions of characterized reforms as an assault on the countries welfare system because i'm
2:16 am
a teacher and i think i'm going to be tied to when i'm 64. so i am not sure i'm labeled to 50 children when i'm sick one or only both of them are like if we youngsters are not only here for ourselves and 30 years old. that's what my parents are close to 60, and they would have to work 2 or 3 more years. the pension reform still needs to go through parliament when micron has lost his absolute majority. so he's hoping to get it past with the support of conservatives. bernard smith, al jazeera paris, still had an al jazeera accent. alec baldwin is to face charges over a fatal shooting on sat in 2021 and a bruising encounter for rinaldo. as he takes on messy p. s g in his 1st game and saudi arabia ah,

2:21 am
d. c. for more on this. and mike, how did we get here given the boeing had previously won immunity from criminal prosecution? while this going back, that was in january 2021. when a boeing reached to deal with the justice department in terms of which it paid to $2500000000.00, including $500000000.00 towards the relatives of those killed. that appeared to be that term growing was granted a relief from further prosecution for at least a 3 year period. that was the same texas court in which the relatives then in october last year, brought another case to the judge. arguing that they should have been notified of the deal before it was agree to the judge and this is back in october, agreed at that particular point saying as well that those killed in those crashes were victims of a crime. making very clear in his opinion that there was a criminal action. now in his judgement today,
2:22 am
the judge has repeated this particular point. and in addition, has now called on boeing to send a representative to be arraigned in that texas court house. on the 26th of january, in other words, the judge is saying you have criminal charges to answer. you have got to come before me so i can tell you what those charges are and you will plead, or whether you are innocent or guilty of these charges. am i war potentially? does this mean next to one of the world's biggest airlines? that a, do we know what charges the airline will actually face? there's a lot of factors here that are very unclear. the judge it would appear. we'll be presenting these charges to boeing. but here's the important point. should in fact they appear in that courtroom. there has been no comment from boeing or indeed the department of justice on this particular judgement. yet, however, it's inevitable that boeing will appeal this judgment. and there's a possibility to that the department of justice could appeal this particular
2:23 am
judgement and try and prevent boeing from appearing in court and his charges being resuscitated against boeing. the reason for this is that both justice department and boeing believe that they do not want to revisit. these are reparations that were made by boeing. if this case is reopened, that it means that, for example, that $500000000.00 that was paid to the relatives of the families may be in jeopardy. so there's a lot of factors behind here. it's not certain that boeing will appear in that court. that is going to be up to the judicial process in terms of what boeing does in terms of appeal and in terms of what the justice department by do in terms of an appeal. ok, very many. thanks, mike. mike, canada and washington dc. it's already forces of shot and killed 2 palestinians during a raid and the jeanine refugee camp in the occupied west bank. their deaths take the number of palestinians killed as ready forces this month to 17. in ranken
