12:02 am
. hello and welcome to and he's out will for 3rd, we can roddy. now tens of thousands of people have joined protests against israel's new right when coalition that by benjamin netanyahu and its plans to make changes to the judicial system. now demonstrations took place in both tel aviv and in west jerusalem. here the hope of the president, public anger is mounting after the new justice minister unveil reforms that would weaken the powers of the supreme court critic say, the changes will undermine freedoms and give absolute power to the far right government. and mon cognizant, the protest in west jerusalem we have a just a quick look around. you'll see this inflatable red line that actually represent the red line for democracy. the protesters say that benjamin netanyahu cannot cross that line all throughout. hey, you see all of the slogans that we've been saying in these protests. and this
12:03 am
protest including benjamin netanyahu is a criminal that the democracy must be defended as real concerns her over civil rights. for example. now, 3 weeks ago this protests were spots by proposed changes by the justice minister to the supreme court. they were effectively going to strip the supreme court of any time they had to overturn parliament decisions. it's got bigger than that. this is a much school about people wondering, worrying about a threat to democracy and you have to say in jerusalem, there aren't really protest all this. there was some in 2020 large in number, once again against the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. government, but they're getting bigger and that's because jerusalem is where religious city, very conservative city. so lot that values a lot of people's values. they align with the goals, but because of this threat approaches to say to democracy,
12:04 am
they are incredibly concerned. but is it going to change anything? well, that's the question i put to the protesters. you see here, people from all kinds, all kinds of various policies is this thing, those change which, which, which would we feel that with radical change really expecting would be the same one. 0, the experience in hungary and the lights. and this is something that would very much like prevent, i think that the more people that go out it will get more pressure to the government to stop this law likes laws against the demo democracy, them now it's not just here across israel in high for example, and in televi that have been mass protest, telephone is by far the largest, although there is a lot of people here. in the 1st week we saw 50000 people,
12:05 am
80000 people in the 2nd week in the process, the organizes are suggesting that might be anywhere up to a 120000 people out on the streets in television. that's a significant number. now the idea full to protest organizes is to get as many people out on the streets as possible so that the politicians have to pay attention and they get worried about some of their support. leaving them that they may will be able to have a vote of no confidence in the government and try and force trigger new elections. so in other developments, even falling today, a palestinian man has been shot dead by an israeli settler in the occupied westbank . tarika de marley was killed near the village of rusk, her car, west of ramallah, video posted on line appears to sham chasing a settler with that stops and shoots him. is there any force to say he was? he was shot in order to prevent a stabbing 18 palestinians have been killed in the west bank by israeli forces, or by settlers this month. it seems that the army had stopped him and they
12:06 am
don't know what happened when they told him he was more to do. my love may he so rest in peace he died. does a sacrifice for the alarm for the country. my beloved son, may god have mercy on you, my beloved daughter, now police and peruse capital. lima evicted, protest is from a university campus. they broke through one of the university campuses main. gates on saturday, carrying shields and helmets. and they use tear gas to disperse, the protest as demonstrations won't present in a boise to resign in a pretty set of breeders esick pedro castillo to be released from jail. now he was impeached and arrested on charges of rebellion and conspiracy. in december, at least 50 people have now been killed in confrontations with security forces. peru is also closed, its famous tourist site much repeat you indefinitely. tourists and al, stranded at the base of the incursions in the town of august callian test,
12:07 am
where trains usually run to costco for his tourism minister says the railway has been damaged and some tourists are walking hours just to get the nearest road. so marianna sanchez is following the story. she joins us now from the capital, lima. first of all, what you tell us about the protests as you occupying that university campus survey now been completely cleared from the grounds. that's right, maria, this, it took several hours for police to break in this door behind me with an armored personnel carrier and about $400.00 police officers who in riot gear, entered firing fire into your gas. and they started searching for, for, for students who are hiding in different parts of the university. but also this has been the place where many people have been camping out since they came from the highlands from costco porno,
12:08 am
and away less places in the south of the country that that, that where they came from, they're very poor people. and so students opened the doors for them to stay here. we were here a couple of days ago, and there were mattresses out here in the garden. our people were bringing in water and food to help them. but last night, the director of the university who said that about 300 people pro protesters who went in to their area of security and rob some security gear and so on. so she asked for them to be a victim. she had been saying to one of them evicted for a few days now. so that's why this happened in the morning without a prosecutor present, but we are in the state of emergency. so there is a discussion whether this was a legal action or not. these are protesters have been taken to the anti terrorism headquarters. they have been,
12:09 am
they have been detained there and we will see what happens because of this, our investigations that taken a long time. and many of them are people who don't even know how to speak spanish. there they speak to us. so we know that there are, there is a mix of people, 205, the ministry of your, your half said who are now detained. marian, of course we know that peru is a great tourist destination for many people. and now that the lovely matcher picchu has been close, it tell us about how long this is likely to last and also what it means for people who are now stranded there. well, officials have said that they have close match indefinitely. and there have been problems for some time now because the crisis started in december, the 7th. and so the usual numbers of people entering much peach daily was about
12:10 am
2000 people or more than 2000. now there were about $500.00 or less than $500.00 every day, but now the authorities decided to close it because to protect the site and also to protect, of course, the integrity of visitors. now there's another version to this uh, the owners of shops, restaurants, and hotels in our calendars, which is the town that is under the mountain we're about to beaches located who have close to everything because they said that they have done this in solidarity to the protesters. around the country, of course there's also the fact that some of the rails have been vandalized, they've been destroyed. so the train, which is the basically the only way to get there fast. you can also walk. but to get there fast, that have been destroyed for the train can get there anyway. so this is the
12:11 am
situation, of course. it implies millions and millions of dollars in tourism losses, economic losses and tourism not only from a to p 2, but in course got for north america about places where protests are more violent these days where the many of these places it leaked darker and coastal city they depend pretty much on tourism and there is a massive cancellations of trips in the next few months. i think it's until about july or october. i've been told that their tours have been canceling, so it's going to be very difficult for people to come to come out of the of, of this having been it after the pandemic that hit peru really hard to say this consequences that the, the economy, thank you very much mine is sanchez in lima. we want to take you to brazil. now
12:12 am
present louise and ask you a little. it is. the silver is fired. the country's army come on the now look, says that intelligence services fail and government buildings in brazil was stormed by supporters of the former president. ch are both in our earlier this month. general. i rude up and been commander of the army since december. new la has vowed to purge both in our loyal us from brazil, security forces, or fail. kathy, donnie is a professor of public safety at the utility of vargas foundation. he joins us live now from south palo by skype because we knew that president had been critical of the armed forces. but how could the sacking of the army chief affect his relationship with the military? could it exacerbate tension? well, i don't think so. i think the military needs commands and president lou line, the other members of the government were dissatisfied with the commander of the army because they were thinking that he was being too lenient towards the
12:13 am
foreigners and supporters of president bulls on our own. and there are some people inside their army, especially one person who was a chief of stop for both on our way. and now he was nominated coleman there of about a year to brazil. and it was the satisfied with that. and he saw us and that coughing, discipline from the former army call monday and decided to replacing which 1st i think is a good idea. many 3rd people needs command and use that, trying to, to stablish a clear, loud and clear comment over the maritime brazil. sure. i mean, there is an argument for placing the army chief, but is it going to could it increase hostility from the latree towards hula? because removing general ruder could entrench or harden support for both scenarios in a way. it's not going to change the royalties of members of the armed forces. well,
12:14 am
i think the question is, the army needs, if they want to do something against lula, they need to have proper support and they don't have it. and they don't have also international support was this, i think the situation was unbearable. personally, i believe that lula who had fired him last week when the, when the buildings were invaded. and i think he was also responsible because they're, i mean, they did dr. the show us and i think he's a good strategy to replace comment and also the brazilian army. despite that, we had to be the theater ship, some like more than 10 years ago. they think to be very disciplined. wilson, i was meaning to make a military coup in brazil when he got support from the army from the, even from their force. so i think they're quite disciplined. is the question just of just suggesting that the starting of the government and i'm pretty sure the army is going to remain under control of the president. and i don't see been doing anything dusty against the, with the president population trying to tell you who brazil, despite all the problems and all the difficulties we had have kind of
12:15 am
a started democracy in the army, things to be disciplined. of course, there are supported from presidential review books on that'll be said to sounds like army, they're complex institutions. but at the end of the day, i think, you know, law is trying to rule the roost here. and i think i just can i ask you that . i mean they might not do anything against the population now, but the what happened on january 8, 15 is the biggest attack on brazil, democracy for decades. what is the only becoming more ideological? has something shifted in the last 5 years for that? yeah, that's definitely, that's the key to think most and i don't wanna go over and in giving a lot of good things that go over them into the army. they were, he was also finding lots of the demands they were having. and also naturally scenario got the support of many military people, especially people retired military people. so this has including for sure,
12:16 am
the rank and file here and also the commanders. and they were more the ideological passage to what i represent this in one side, but in the other size, they also know that they have to be professionals because they don't have internal support for a military coup. and they don't have also external support. international support from united states on freight from china in order to congress to make them who can resume. so of course their attention in terms of the army being a logical, but i think it will try to make them more professional. they had to be professional for a long time before the board when i was and i'm and, and i think they will get back on track after of course, of course some scuffs and some patients between the last in government and army. thank you very much. raphael candy barney presser, public safety. these are tuleya, vargas foundation. there in south palo. it was the news, our life from london, national soul to bring him. ah, a day of the anti france protest. burkina faso,
12:17 am
military government demands the french troops, leave the country. towns in his main opposition party holds its 1st mass rally in more than 6 years. under government lifts, a battle political gatherings. and a former winner is in control going into the final round of golf. abu dhabi championship, who's a lot of the details in schools, ah, the united nations eyes ranking, female official says, what's happening in afghanistan is a grave crisis from it. women's rights and a wake up call for the international community taliban as bond women from education and from much of public life. you end up the century. general amina mohammed is just wrapped up a 4 day visit to afghanistan, and warns that much remains to be achieved. we hear from her shortly 1st though,
12:18 am
his this report from laura con. this was the 1st high level meeting between the u. n and taliban since a re to power in afghanistan and the u. n. delegation by the organization's highest ranking woman deputy sector general amena mohammed, she held talks with acting foreign affairs minister. amir con would tarkey top of the gender reversing restrictions on women's access to education and work. a ministry spokesman posted on twitter that they also discuss travel restrictions and government officials and financial functions imposed by the international community . when the taliban took power in august 2021, washington froze almost $10000000000.00 in assets belonging to afghan central bank . the economy shrunk by at least 20 percent. the un says 9 or 10 households don't have enough to eat and is struggled to help of the taliban
12:19 am
band. women working with charities that band is now being partially lifted and un delegate say, they're pleased with the progress last month when we're back from attending university, they've all been banned from attending secondary education and some government jobs . the u. n. delegation will be looking for progress on this issue to north han al jazeera. so early on, my colleague followed by timbo, spoke to the deputy sector general. mean him a 100 in dough. it was always very clear to me. i'm going in there as an opportunity to add the voices of women of afghanistan. we heard this some young women who said to us, we don't need your voice senior to amplify ours when you get, in essence, we don't have that opportunity for going in the house. very focused on getting those messages across and getting into the room. it is always intimidating when you're facing people who do such things in this world is we don't accept. but i
12:20 am
think, you know, focus on the issue and push it and we did and they didn't, in some cases, didn't accept it. and try to put you in your place, but i think we were strong enough to push back. i think you find yourself almost a moment at the helm of the says in the united nations. and it so happens that there's a delegation of work that you do in that. and the top diplomat goes that was being, unless the woman i think was a plus for the international community. because i know that my religion doesn't teach or preach, that we don't have a right to cation. i'm a products of education, and the deputy secretary general, the united nations, and the car bulky as a spokesperson for the taliban ministry of foreign affairs. now he says the sum and jos were trying to create what he called social change in afghanistan. that's the accusation. and that the taliban is allowing organizations to operate if they align with their values as the cardinal principal off. and your work is
12:21 am
impartiality and neutrality. to that and those in jose who were really involved in humanitarian work and we're committed to this principle and not interfering in the local customs and norms. they were given exemptions in some areas including health. they have resumed their work and we welcome that. as for those who are unable or unwilling to stick to this principle, they have only shown that perhaps this decision was the best interest of a lot of fun and india. and we will continue to prioritize the stability and security of and that means this idea that there's a ban on education is absolutely incorrect as part of a particular narrative and agenda that has been driven by some actors who again
12:22 am
have taken hostage to you. and in terms of helping the people of science instead of working on areas and in a way that empowers the government to take the needed actions to help and provide the basic needs of the sun as yet, neither car hale was a judge in afghan has done he was forced to free the taliban. she joined us live now from manchester. we were hearing the deputy director general and that clip speaking about the purpose of her trip being to amplify the voices of young women and girls who have suffered from a draconian crackdown on their basic right. did the taliban get more out of this trip than united nations or the international community? well, i appreciate it. the other folks thought of janice and their kindness are to
12:23 am
think about women, future enough canister. but for me, i think the back from in the honda because we know we don't know about what was the agenda about and that was not just a crisis about it or guess it's about safety and security women in afghanistan saw the taliban, of course, that they make a kind of propaganda to bring the initial community attention for their benefit. i think this all, it makes not any difference in women life in afghanistan who in a position to try and speak to the taliban now to establish some sort of line of communication that might be used to defend or speak up for women and girls
12:24 am
or is that something that is just not possible in the current circumstances. the most important thing, afghanistan, this is our battle. and they going to meet with the taliban to sure. bring go women's together. and we have a professional women that denise does should have the women opinion. and their agenda without the women were without people and have a son. that problem would be not solved. but maybe this and other options are. 3 if the bringer, the muslim countries together with women in afghanistan and the united nation and the taliban, they can discuss about it that we sold the problem. but without people in afghanistan without women in afghanistan, how can this on our problem? right? i mean, it is very important, an international,
12:25 am
a trip that was made by adapt. he's actually general. but from what you're saying, it appears that female activists were not consulted. they were not part of any process. it's not clear toll a purpose or the agenda was and nothing was achieved for the women in afghanistan. yes, because i was thinking the agenda should, will discuss about the security and safety of women. because kidnapping, killing women activist, and i've got a son increased killing go for his dodging. people increased this all should be discussed in the meeting. but when i read the statement, there is no any kind of discussion about women are activist or dod civilians killed by the taliban, all the killing by the thought of on as well. recently lost our job in b. and i've got a job. that's what for me was very important, the security and safety for women and people and i've got
12:26 am
a son and then this we think the never discuss about it. all right, well thank you very much for joining us. i appreciate you taking time out here. i'm a cocktail for my afghan judge. now living in manchester, we turn our attention now to begin a faster because the government that has demanded the departure of french troops station in the country. it's giving them a month to leave. comes a day after hundreds of people demonstrated against the french military presence in the capital. want to do good. many say the former colonial powers failed to improve security in the country. according to the united nations. thousands of people have been killed in picking a faster since 2015 and nearly 3000000 displaced in violence linked to on good. on friday, the army fried a group of more than 60 women and children who are abducted by common last week. unprecedented mass kidnapping happened in the northern district of our binda, an area under blockade by om groups linked to al qaeda. an ice hill captors were
12:27 am
found by the military and neighboring province of being held for 8 days on out of tens. any of the opposition today, my party is held rally for the 1st time in 6 and a half years. government lifted a band earlier this month that was imposed by the former president john. michael flew in 2016, under the restrictions opposition. rallies violently broken out by police, and politicians were frequently jailed the next presidential election. tons in is choose to happen. in b a 2025 former presidential candidate can do. lucy says he'll be flying back from exile on wednesday. jeffrey smith is the founding director. yvonne gone after the wife closely with townsend, is opposition. joins us live via skype from washington. d. c. have you been in touch with 10, dilute, sue, and do you think he will be safe to return to towns near this week? well, that is certainly the hope we have information that he has been given assurances by
12:28 am
the president herself that his safety and security will will be paramount upon his return. i think today it was very refreshing to see that the major opposition rally that happened went off without violence. it was peaceful. it was attended by many in the 10th, and the security forces. and instead of rounding up all of those there and arresting them and putting them in prison on trumped up charges, they actually stood back and allowed to take place. so i think there's certainly room for optimism going forward. now that there is a bit more breathing room for the opposition in the political and social space in towns and what might their plan be now, what sort of strategy ahead of 2025. now that they can freely gather and organize themselves again? well it's, it's going to be very difficult. i think the lifting of the ban on political activity by the opposition is a welcome step in the right direction. and, but we really have to measure that against what has happened over the past 22
12:29 am
months since president has been in power. you know, she has taken measures to respond to some human rights concern. many one courage, especially by her 1st 100 days in office when she 1st and foremost reverse the previous administrations horrible. cooper 19 denial is and she even freed political prisoners, including a prominent perjury. men who had been detained without trial for almost a decade. but major concerns remained. the government has continued to restrict media. they have continued to muzzle civic space and civic activists. journalists continue to be arbitrarily arrested as well as critics of the government. a one prominent example of that is the chairman of the opposition party himself. freeman and boy, he was recently in prison for 7 months, an entirely trumped up charges of terrorism before the case was ultimately dropped around last year at this time. but there are a number of examples of newspaper editors and journalists, even cartoonists, satirists, who use satire as a form of social commentary,
12:30 am
have been repeatedly arrested and harassed. they've been prevented from doing their jobs. human rights lawyers, including fatma cru may, she's been barred as well as others from practicing law. and we have to remember just last year, prominent activists who was calling for constitutional reforms, long overdue, and needed constitutional reforms was abducted many believe by state authority. so a lot of work and a lot of reforms need to be undertaken for the opposition to really move and act really in a country that that desperately needs to be quite honest. as you say, the hope is that they have turned the page on a dark chapter, but a lot could still happen between now and 2025. and i suppose it could be situation where tend to lose who is allowed to continue with his activities. but there is still a crackdown on civil society. absolutely, and let's remember, maybe even to tell those listening today tend to list to was, it was shot over a dozen times in 2017. it was an official assassination attempt against him. it
12:31 am
occurred in a secure government compound earlier that day. coincidentally, there the security cameras that, that the outlined, the entire perimeter were shut off. he barely survived. and that's when we started working with vanguard, africa, back in 2017. so he is an incredibly courageous political leader. one of the most bravest, a leaders i have had the opportunity and privilege to work with. so it's important that, that, you know, his story is told and that his return to the country it is covered on outlets like allergies, era and others. because that sort of spotlight, that sustain spotlight does offer a layer of protection for him and for others in the pro democracy space in tanzania that might not otherwise exist. well, we'll keep our eye on times and, and thank you very much jeffrey smith. thank you. so i had for you on the program a danish far i need a bunch. the koran outside turkeys embassy in sweden intentions between the 2
12:32 am
countries. there are warnings of ecological disaster. in bosnia is drawing a foot. it shows a huge amount of plastic waste, a mass on the trina river and hollywood inspiration for the delphi hopes, rocky can fire off its nfl team in the playoff. ah, with that when cold air comes out of the atlantic and then comes across in missouri turns to stormy weather happens every winter. this once may be a bit more extreme because that storm system is revolving with strong winds. rain and snow tucked in with it has been doing so for a while it's, it's the last of many. so flooding from hungary all the way down to albania as result of this because it's mostly written flooding. and is that being replaced by snow in places, but the story still is
12:33 am
a storm mediterranean. the me straw that cold wind is being drawn through the round valley in southern france. and the whole thing is wind up around what is the center of low somewhere in the attic. so the mornings are free to leave a heavy snow. they've gone through now, but i think strong winds rain down the coast to crash it down to was grease or induce yet more flooding, potentially now bane here and stay on the higher ground now in the balkans, stay hungry or all right as well for the rest of europe, it's basically cold with outbreaks of light is snow in over competitions, particularly in germany, will tend to clear up a time you get to monday. now if some of that weather affects the north coast of africa for algeria to nicea, there were shout equally in some parts of west africa. but the concentration of heavy rain is chill through d r. c, zambia and madagascar. ah, i can unlock my phone with my face. you can access your bank account with your
