1:06 pm
we call on the government to introduce special policy reforms for the industry to compensate those that have lost their cars. the settlers violence, financial profits cannot be more important than palestinian life. insurance companies in the occupied west bank don't cover damage caused by israeli settlers or military rate to get that mean later, we're not shaking off responsibility. we're working within international laws. they have been times that exceptional cases were covered through a private social responsibility fund. but it's up to the government and civil organizations to come together with an alternative. we are open to discussion. the palestinian government has responded to our requests for an interview. it's report to be creating a new committee to look into the water attack. but there appears to be no plan to tackle the wider problem. now every palestinian family we spoken to have absolutely reached breaking point financial losses because of cetera attacks are increasing year on year. and they said that is have the massive toll on normally their mental

1:08 pm
there's room for protest. there's room for disagreements for expressing opinions that there's no room for refusal. a correspondent among con is joining us live from west of ursula with more on this last week in line. you are reporting on the an unprecedented government response to protest against these judicial reforms. and now another unprecedented move in israel, in support of these protests that's up to you, right? so 37 out of 40 air force pilots, a have a navigators? i've actually said that they not going to turn up for duty on wednesday. instead, they're going to spend the day talking about the political situation in the country . it's effectively a strike and it's gotten the government very worried. it has 2 major implications. one, obviously about national security. if people aren't showing up to do their duty and is really military, that is going to have an impact. but more importantly has an impact on the military itself. in terms of social cohesion, the military has long been seen as
1:09 pm
a symbol of national unity. that stands apart from any political machinations that going on inside the country. and there's a fear that these protest, these types of protests within the military could actually spread further. we're actually hearing that sion bet these really intelligence service, former offices of the shin bet, are also taking part in the protest. they were never allowed to do so before or by their commanders, but they have special permission now. so they're taking part in the anti government protests as well. that's unprecedented. it's putting the government under tremendous amount of pressure pressure. benjamin netanyahu is that she tweeted a pitch of himself as a young soldier or with the words when they call comes reservists answer he. you also heard him speaking there about the political situation and when it comes to the army. so this is absolutely unprecedented. once again, the, we're in a climate in israel where things keep getting heated up when it comes to this
1:10 pm
judicial reform build has been discussed in palm than what so how controversial about the bill? well, it allows the connected to overturned supreme court decisions. now is all doesn't have a 2nd house, like for example, in the u. k. yet that you have the house of lords. so this has been seen as a rollback of a judicial process and due process, and a rollback into turning israel into a dictatorship. and that's why we're seeing all of these unprecedented events around con, live for us in west of o slammed. and let's get more on this knowledge on him by getting in levy. he's a columnist with his waning newspaper hearts and he's doing his life from televi very good to have you with us on al jazeera. why is it that this issue has aroused such powerful emotions, intimate awareness, even with the workings of the judiciary? you see it's about a league of israel, which is now protesting and they lead off. they lead the bylaws and when they take those measures unprecedented as your report to say that
1:11 pm
nobody can remain in different unfortunately, they didn't take the same measures while bomb being got. but that's another issue. the fact that they lead ease or they lead souls, they're financially lead there can then we can lead the military elisa, economically. they order against those stamps. makes the government both the government in a very uncomfortable place. miss levy, you say that it's led by anita that we've seen tens of thousands of people coming out week after week. so lead by leads, but does it have popular support? the protests it says barbarous a board in very certain social structure. it is the lead in these they meet in classes, it is mainly there. she can now see. thank you. jewels who are living?
1:12 pm
it is right. us cannot see namely juice whose origin out from europe. they are very vocal and very active in this book. but israel is not only them and the lower classes, and they jewels coming from arab states and the berry theory. they are not only passive. and i think that finally they support anything that these government will do as long as benjamin antonio. is there a crime and it doesn't show them that how polarized, perhaps israeli society is, has this, you know, most right, one dominant that the enemy elected, as it highlighted how potent i, society esl is an exacerbating polarized ation. that bears a, she's social more than political. it's much more about identity then political steps. because if you take a subject like the occupation,
1:13 pm
you will find almost the war who wore a support to continuing. they'll, they'll give a sh. very few israelis are really against it. are really ready to take measures against the but when it comes to the social combination of israel and mainly these division between european jews and missouri jews which is very much covered up by many other things. but when you dig a little bit, when you scratch a little bit, you will find that this is the core of the show, mr. levy. it's always good to have your insights. that is gideon levy ally for i can tell you. thank you. thank you very much. moving on to other news now in serious transport, ministry says that will redirect flights carrying earthquake aid after an overnight attack. put a left post international airport out of commission state media had the airport was targeted by an israeli s. tried a military source, had tuesdays attack,
1:14 pm
came from the direction of the mediterranean damage the runway, but plenty more had on the news hour including i'm florence louis enjo hor, state malaysia. where more than 42000 people are still temporarily displaced because of flux. the u. k prepared to unveil a controversial nor aimed at stopping boats carrying asylum seekers across the english channel. and in sports, the nfl star set to become a $150000000.00, which are that story coming up later on in the show. ah, chinese president, she didn't paying has accused western nations led by the us of suppressing and encircling beijing. she urged private companies to increase innovation and be more self reliant. the u. s. has imposed several restrictions on china's semiconductor
1:15 pm
industry. and as katrina you reports, it's rare for she, jenna pang to make a direct reference to the united states. he said the united states with him circling and suppressing china, causing severe and unprecedented challenges war, china's development. and he seems to be sending a message to the very top levels of washington caps to joy bought joe biden himself saying that china has felt the impact of their policies and china is willing to take up that challenge. now that seems to be reflected in the very strong towed we heard from china, new foreign minister chin gong at a press conference. earlier on tuesday, he spent a lot of that time attacking the u. s saying that us was an invisible hand at work in the conflict in your brain using it for its own agenda. he also said that washington had a distorted view of trying to as arrival and the threat and that these depressions of chinese companies, chinese firms, in the name of competition were unset. he also mentioned that any interference in
1:16 pm
taiwan was unreasonable, and that being continued to see that so ruled island as part of the mainland and this, this is a red line issue that the us should not cross. and really that was ultimately a larger warning for washington in that press conference saying that if the us did not change its course in terms of its diplomacy in its approach to beijing, it could risk a wide catastrophic conflict. the u. n. is appealing for international aid to help refugees and bung the base on sunday, a launch fire at a camp and cox's bazaar destroyed more than 2000 home schools and hospitals. 12000 refugees and displaced once again from new child re, has more from bio callian cox's bizarre nearly 6 years on a refugee crisis, showing no sign of winding down more than a 1000000 refuge is living in
1:17 pm
a very densely packed area. what is now the world's largest refugee camp, that faces all kind of challenges on daily basis. frequent. 5 fires inter gang rivalry, political gang rivalry is and violence is a daily occurrence in this camp. now, just on last sunday, there's been a major fire. as you can see, they're trying to rebuild their homes. more than half of the population in this camp are children. a whole last generation without education, many of their language face nutritional and deficiencies due to limit that food available. they haven't very limit that freedom of movement. many of them even try to live this chem and venture out into the dead sea to had to i've saw face aisha for a better living on the process, many dice. and very recently the world food program and they'll be a russian card for the rowing guys due to serious, fun shortages in response to the bank. there's government, the un and it's partner,
1:18 pm
is going for a joint respond and funded pill sometime shortly seeking more than $800000000.00 for the wrong guys as well as for the nearby host communities. but it is very difficult and complex to manage more than a 1000000 drafts is in se caught off. it's country sandwich, audrey, i'll just follow cali. cox's bizarre. well, let's get more on this. now. we're joined by shoddy. i saw that he's director and brack university center for peace and justice and directs the refugee studies unit in cox as bizarre. and he's joining us live on la bunger. they she capital darker. thank you for your time on al jazeera. so even before this fire in the camp at cox's bazaar, the world food program, as i caused on it was saying they've announced they've had to cut funding to food rations for refugees because of a lack of money from donors. and this fight is only going to increase the needs at cox as bizarre, isn't it?
1:19 pm
i did. i do apologize. we, i don't have a good connection with our guest and that we will try to re establish that. but let's move on for now. at least 5 people have been killed in floods after days of torrential rain and malaysia, some houses have been submerged. tens of thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes there, sheltering in schools and community centers. more rain is forecast in the south and east of the country with the risk of further flooded. let's bring in our correspondent florence louis. she is joining us live from poncho and southern malaysia. and we can see just a little bit of the flooding behind you there florence, give us the full picture. as i said, overall there around 42000 people who've been displaced nationwide, but 39000 alone enjoy the whole state. so that gives you an indication of how bad things are here. now, some roads are still impossible like this road,
1:20 pm
which is one of the routes into punch or town. while we were here, there was several residents who came by. they said they were hoping to be able to go back to their homes to retrieve some of their belongings, which they weren't able to take when they evacuated on saturday. but of course, they weren't able to because the only way in via this route is by boats. now we also spoke to one resident who says he doesn't expect to have a source of income for the next 6 months, because he believes that all the palm trees in his small plantation will probably not survive this. but now some of the residents also say they believe it will probably take days for flood waters to recede, even though there hasn't been much rain in the last 2 years. this is what the reason for this is because authorities recently released water from a nearby dam and also because flood water from the interior part of your home will make its way towards the mouth of the river. and this area here is situated near the mouth of the river and farm. this area isn't new to flooding, but experts saying that it is particularly bad this year.
1:21 pm
that's right, so earlier this morning to soon season in late december, there were around 70000 people who were displaced in columbia and intern. god knew that the northeast and parts of been in sheila, malaysia, and taken the 50000 who had displaced at the height of the recent floods. but talking big numbers here. now, your whole state did receive an unusually high amount of rain. in some places it was the most rain that had been recorded in more than 30 years. but some environmentalists say that the cause of the severe flooding cannot just be blamed on heavy rainfall it so that several factors that combine to, to cause severe floods. deforestation over development, soil erosion, all these things combine means the less places the able to act as sponges, to absorb increased volumes of rainfall, which means there's less ability, less capacity to cope with extreme weather packing, flowing, fluid live for us in punch or in southern malaysia thank you, florence. along with her now to a story we covered just a little earlier,
1:22 pm
the unprecedented need for aid in bong do they should coxa cox's bizarre? let's go back to, i guess, to heidi at southern director in brac university center for peace and justice. and he directs the refugee studies unit in cox's design and live for us in dhaka. thank you very much for being with us. so the u. n. is appealing for international aid to help refugees and buying the base. could you tell us about the situation that we've been covering it just over the last few days because of the fire before that it was because of the world food program, cutting funding for food rations. so do tell us why this un 8 is so desperately needed there. the response plan today that has been launch see, it's actually asking for $800000000.00 from the international community. and you, as you already mentioned, that the national guard by the w b, which is kind of 17 percent of the usual ration that they used to get from the f.
1:23 pm
b is actually is showing the hardest part of the situation. if we look back at the trend of the fees in the last 2 years, we see what is needed. we got on 64 percent of the funds that is needed to handle these a humana. and this is when you mentioned the j. p, you're talking about the joint response plan for the rank mandatory and crisis. why is that? you are only by the the response is only receiving about 60 percent of the funding that it's asking for. exactly that the if you look at the land, it is 64 percent average that we are receiving. and given that 2023, that difficult is going to be difficult because of other high profile prices fall
1:24 pm
over in, in different parts of the world. we feel that the international funding trade needs to be more than we do. and it should. it should also look, look at doing the crises and the final that is required here. i think the world is not looking at it from leveling feed and you know, from that point of view, and that's why we are not getting enough fund sufficiently to handle the crisis. and in fact, i think that is lead yeah. attention as well here. and we just hope that it doesn't become a forward and whether it is already referred to as a forgotten crisis sometimes, isn't it? yes, to be yes to move. and i think that's why more attention is needed to these and for all the stakeholders, the one community should also back in should do it because we are talking about more than a 1000000 people here. and these people are, these people are very much just because they're still listed on countries in the
1:25 pm
citizenship back 1982 and, and they're all in the last generation in there. now, those will now invalidate if they're not given proper attention in terms of resources in terms of funding, in terms of other services, you know, this is going to be catastrophic. you know, that's why the international attention is needed and international organizations and stakeholders would come for with all the support that these guys is needed. and when you say that could be catastrophic correspondent, the children just a little bit earlier. he mentioned that because of the conditions and the cat because of the lack of opportunities because people contact really leave the camp and go outside to work. there was a real problem inside emerging with criminal gangs with gangs from that, of course puts even more of a burden. can you say on the whole country bung the dish? well i think we need to 1st,
1:26 pm
i would say we need to give the credit to buy one of the government for that. again, huge number of refuse this and there's always respected the principle of non reforms and, and try to support the if you just as much as, as much as an old way. but this is the way the domestic communities talk with these crucial. and so it does, so the opportunities, i think this is where all of these sites need to work together to create that opportunity, especially the practice needs to be on youth that listen and giving their livelihood. that says so that so that when dig will back to young mom for the safe bacteria will happen so that they are they have opportunities and that's why they need to be ready for that shot. so that joining us live from dock idea. thank you very much. for your time, we appreciate it. thank you. still ahead on the news,

1:32 pm
a prosperous future. on our own, i want us to profit from the gas because as soon as we start extracting but i expect the electricity prices fuel, even food prices will drop and become affordable for us. he is not alone. europeans no longer wanting to rely on russian gas or looking at africa to meet their energy needs. germany and poland have signed deals with synagogue, government, europeans will have access to synagogues, resources before its own citizens. and so this has left many senegalese wondering how much will they benefit from their own countries resource. because so far, for many young men opportunity means boarding one of these fishing vessels to travel to europe illegally. the government hopes that the gas project will stop this and bring jobs here at home. and the country's new oil and gas institute, engineers and doctorates are given certified training for industry jobs. as the resources long for the technical people for the institute director of the fall out

1:34 pm
a conference, a forum where people gather to talk about energy and the energy crisis. and it's a form that started 17 years ago in the end, the conversation was among people here, how to power people's homes, how to power and their factories. the conversation today couldn't be any different because countries are lining up to get access to this precious and wealthy resource . the liquid natural gas at sango has a will ran synagogue in the top 10 countries to export this well. so we had the president of poland last you come in visit here. we've had the french president, the german chancellor, all trying to tap into this precious resources. but there's a question here. is senegal ready to export all this precious liquid natural gas? while joining me now is i need flow them as from the government's oil and gas institute. so let me ask you this question. is sending all ready to export. this
1:35 pm
gas plan is by 2023 by the end of this year to start exporting this resource. absolutely, thanks unit. and yes, this is ready and will be where the actually at the end of this year to explore these guys because the work has started in several years ago from now. and yes, if people are working on that and hopefully we'll try to a sports at the end of produce and export at the end of this year. and so the plan is initially for most of it to go to europe and not to power homes here. so what's the role of your institute in all of this? now the institute is a here to make sure the senegal has the people with the skill and the competence to, to get parts. elisa, this 3rd people has to have to work in the companies. and also in the government institutions. so i'll institute is here to train people to deliver the certificates
1:36 pm
. also because to work in this industry, you need a lot of static conditions and those are international situations and we don't find them here right now. so we are going to provide them for the people here in senegal . and that's why we are here. because initially, i mean, in most cases we have experts, a lot of west, there's a coming into a, in africa working in these offshore rigs. and that's something that you said to me earlier on, you don't want to see here in the country. why is that? is not that we don't want to say that we want to share those, chose those job opportunities on so that we make sure that the country has the most benefit of it. so that's where we going to train more and more people to make sure we have it as skills people and then that they'll get experience also. and they'll be able to work in the companies as well as in the government institutions. so we're going to share the jobs, so the companies are coming from everywhere. they're coming with their people
1:37 pm
that's normal. and also we going to have their people here and sending out and we're going to share the jumps. and he filled them us from the oil and gas institute. thank you very much. so at this conference, there's talks about a lot of opportunities for many businesses in senegal, because of course, it's not just about exporting all this liquid natural gas abroad. it's also about transforming this resources right here on the continent, off the shore of senegal, before it goes off to 2 different countries. so there's expectation that the economy will grow. it's expected to grow at a record, liz, 8 percent this year. and, and we're expecting enormous growth next year, but it is an election year in february 2024 synagogue. we'll go through an election and a lot of the conversation here is, what will the senegalese do with all this wealth back to you as nick. thank you. very much for that. nicholas hart live in dachau. thank keith
