a survivor dedicates her life to educating and saving others from suicide. we're the ones in a dying way, the ones that are losing our friends, and therefore we have to be the ones that will stand up and solve it because no one else is going to say where there is hope, a witness documentary on. i've just, you know, the u. s. a whole was of interest to people. all right, the world, this is been going on for a number of hours with you guys been use of the report. cody, from an international perspective, we try to explain to our global audience how this could impact the life. this is an important part of the world and how to do this very good at bringing the news to the world from here, ah, o. facing off with police, tens of thousands march,

improve demanding the resignation of president dina palatez. ah, i'm a bulkhead. this is al jazeera life and dough are also coming up. the u. s. hits, it's $31.00 trillion dollar debt limit. the treasury says it's taking extraordinary measures to avoid a default on huge demonstrations in france against the government's plans to raise the retirement age. from 62 to 64, back on track of brazil's environmental police launched their 1st anti locking raids under the new government. ah, thousands of demonstrators and peru, a holding a 2nd day of mass protest in the capital, lima, that demanding the resignation of president da da glossy and an end to police finance or them 50 have died in confrontations with security for systems process

began last month. fuller, the arrest or former president petro castillo. marianna sanchez is with protest. as in lima, we have seen in the last hour that says some people have flashed with police the aerial party. i'm in that is just a few blocks away from here. and i asked this, what's happening? we saw a group called a rescue team rushing out, they brought down a wounded person. one huh. the members of the rescue team told us that this person was seriously wounded in the head. we don't know what kind of one to have, but what we know is that there's been a lot of questioning one kind of weapons that police has was going to use. ah, so, so far as a lot of people are still marching in the streets of the capital, the most important thing here is that many people are and most of the people who

voted for a former president bill don't have to be, you know, one, his promises to be delivered, he offered corrugation programs, he offered an agrarian reform, he offered a change of loss, i thought the additional reform and actually that's, that's not what people are getting. so what, when they see that the feel is gone, they are here because they want those promises to be delivered. and they believe that the, you know, a lot of it is a traitor and she will not deliver on those promise. this will, that's why the main voice here in the streets of the capital and around the country, our voices for her resignation. now the news ukraine's president is calling for decisive action on further foreign weapon supplies the head of a meeting of western allies in germany. on friday, floating lensky urge them to deliver more sophisticated weapons, including german made leopard battle tanks. go. leafs ye shall call him up soon.

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 made. want to helped us helping them no dialogue. just help the crucial grow is we need to do even more militarily. and that's why we are hearing the message, anti aircraft, defensive artillery system, issue munitions. and i said in front of european parliament yesterday, i think tanks need to be delivered or diplomatic editor james spaces at the world economic forum and divorce, where he's been speaking to ministers about ukraine's plea for new weapons behind the scenes here. and also there's 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 leopard two's tanks to many e u and 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, on a german government who has done a lot in this, in this conflict. i should be implemented for, for the tremendous leadership that, that, that they have displayed. and yes, you are rights. time is of essence for ukrainians. and therefore we not only need to get 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 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 is 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, some 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 weapon than 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 dev also is winding down,

but on the issue of ukraine and weapons, the ukraine, all of the action now it 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 where they'll decide exactly what new military aid ukraine is going to get. pro ukraine activists from serbia have filed criminal complaints against russia's wagner mercenary group, and its supporters accusing them of recruiting serbs to fight in ukraine. moscow relied heavily on the private military group during the war. whoever serbian law prohibits that citizens and participating in conflicts abroad sheet, and yet mirage near spreading hatred among serbs towards ukrainians towards the 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 to the united states. now, where the white house says the u. s. congress will come together and work to avoid a debt default that's off the country. hate it's $31.00 trillion dollar borrowing

limit on thursday. the real concerns are political showdown could unsettled markets and trigger recession. adam fisher has the support 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 ran up against this debt limit. and that's exactly what happened in the last couple of hours. us treasury secretary, johnny 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. so 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 gonna 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 u. s. last, it's 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. or i, we're william lee is chief economist with the milken institute. he has more and 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 all 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 and increase 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 were huge. had the world was shot that the u. s. 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 dead 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. so u. s. has never faced the kind of constraints of the countries had in limiting the amount of debt issues because those have no foreign exchange to pay it off. the u. s. can always pay off the debt by pretty dollars. but of course, at least the massive inflation around the world. will that

a 1000000 people in france of mashed against plan pension reforms? president manuel macro and wants to raise the retirement age by 2 years to 64. but union se, the move is an assault on the welfare system, but a smith has more from paris. friends unions wanted a big turn out for thursdays nationwide protests to emphasize his 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, 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 will 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 the written as the site. the french president on a visit to spain says friends,

can't afford to keep things as they are. not a peak. if 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 at refineries as well as public transport workers were among those who walked off that jobs. trauma francis big a few days 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 process will expand into a broader social movement, not just again, increasingly age retirement, but also against 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 label

to 50 children when infrequent, or only part of the molecule. we youngsters are not only here for our south people 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 where micron has lost his salute. majority, so he's hoping to get it past with the support of conservatives. bernard smith, al jazeera paris, croatia, it up to the euro as its currency nearly 3 weeks ago since then, prices of sort, leaving many to believe that businesses may be exploiting the transition. stephanie decor report. it's been almost 3 weeks since croatia adopted the euro as it's currency. and people aren't happy, falls it as the bulk of that 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 have started looking for another job. oh,

school furnace. more say we all felt the price increase at least 30 percent higher for everything. some traders say they are rounding up 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. early on what put 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. but the trade association has dismissed the government accusations thing its members are not increasing prices to make a profit. but because of the rising cost of raw materials in energy, either way, despite the economic benefits for croatia of joining the single currency, it's coming at a cost. stephanie decor. i'll g 0 still had all al jazeera actor,

lewis, marcia lula da silva, was elected on a pledge to reverse destruction of the rain forest. about 10 members of the environmental agency, obama join federal police in the raids under the government of former president gibe. also narrow obama staff were cut back and funding reduced 16 raise a shadow this year. they plan to stop logos and find people court with a legal would join both scenarios. time in office, there was a 60 percent increase in deforestation compared to the previous 4 years. karla mendez is a brazilian environmental journalist. she says the raids mark a welcome change in environmental policy. after 4 years are the only bad news about the amazon destruction. we are finally receiving some really news about actions to reverse it. and during his 1st day at office present lula, you should seek, decrease changes the key points to really curb indigo logging and illegal

deforestation the amazon. one of the key thing is their resume of the plan f. a chill fight deforestation that was solid hon. so now this plan slash deforestation rate by over 80 percent during the 1st 2 terms of level of barbara. and now it's expected shooters is saying they oversight over for a station during the last years. they are not properly dawn. so during the government now they do need to go to the ground, in fact, information from fella data and what's happening on the ground. and these raids are key because they have the surprise element to, to how wrong doing and whoever is destroying the for. this is a big challenge because these people have been emboldened by brazil highest

authority was the president was supporting their crimes. and we know that change in his mindset, it's not something that change with her monday to the order. so it's really needed to have a task force of all of the story teeth that deal with environmental defense, to track who is behind described positions in lebanon, a staging, a city in parliament after it failed for the 11th time to elect a president without a function of government, the country is unable to adopt economic reforms aimed at cutting waste and combat in corruption say to hold a report survey route inside lebanon's parliament. a number of m p.

open sessions. but the governing alliance lead by she parties has below and the movement prevent a quorum by walking out there trying to actually trying to, i mean that strategy is to actually agree on the present outside of the institution . and then try to come up with a name and for everybody, what we're saying, 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 that, there is a proposal for a so called consensus precedent to be agreed and dialogue comes outside parliament . lebanon has been without a precedent for times in its recent history. but this time there is 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 else is eda,
