4:05 pm
president mccall say about why they're needed? prism are for made reforming francis pension system. one of his campaign pharmacies . he has always said that it's a system will need to forming. i'm modernizing because it costs a lot of money. it is the how to day to there's something that hasn't changed really properly for decades. and you've also got the french government who have continued to say in the past weeks is they've been defending this reform blow across europe. people are working longer there, retiring, around 65. there's no reason why we can't do that. here is what, because people say one living longer said those of the arguments, the government, but that placement position, not just in the streets also and. 4 climate french person does not have a majority party in parliament. he's having a lot of problems trying to push through this. reform is currently being discussed in the senate, but he's not easy. there's no clear paul. start getting
4:06 pm
a reform through that's is why people say that they continue to come out to the streets to continue to put pressure on the government because they actually want this reform to be scrapped at us. but in the joining of my home, a protest in paris there. thank you. natasha. 2 other news now and british emp piece, a debating a bit lamed at curbing the numbers of undocumented, my guns arriving on bushes shore was it's to fulfill the prime minister's promise to deport any one. enter the country illegally. the hollins secretary said the volume of illegal arrivals had overwhelmed the country's asylum system and was part of a larger global my ration of them. in the coming years, developed countries will face unprecedented levels with pressures from ever greater numbers of people leaving the developing world for places like united kingdom. unless we act today, the problem will be worse tomorrow. and the problem is already unsustainable. ok.
4:07 pm
let's take a closer look at this proposed law that will allow the government to deport anyone who went to the country without authorization. they would be sent to what the government considered as a safe 3rd country deed was recently fine with wanda received some of those who sent away once to puerto. these people would be banned for life from returning to the u. k. claiming asylum, or even seeking british citizenship in the future rights groups have criticize the plan, saying it violates commitments the u. k. has made on the rights human rights treaties . but un refugee convention recognizes people fleeing persecution may have to use irregular means to reach safety and they can not be penalize for doing so. over to a correspondent, charlie angela. she's joining us live from south sea on the u. k. southern coast. charlie, tell us, what more can you tell us about this legislation?
4:08 pm
wasn't gonna explain a little bit where i am behind me is the channel, the stretch of water between england and france across which almost 46000 people crossed in small boats last year, attempting to arrive on beaches like this and some of them drowning in their attempt now the prime ministers cooling, missed the stop the boat sabelle and you heard from the home secretary. so al abraham in that saying that the idea is to deter. * would be refugees, migrants and asylum seekers for making that crossing, which they consider illegal and arriving in this country ahead of others who might be taking more legal channels, essentially jumping the queue as she's put it. the idea is that it will deter them and, and if they arrive her, that they will be then detained and deported to a safe country. but already the opposition to this is coming in thick and fast from lawyers who saying that legally this is going to be in contravention of the un
4:09 pm
convention of refugees to which the u. k. is a signatory from charities who are saying, well, this is just going to criminalize those people who are already in desperate situation to have just made a horrific journey. and then back again to arrive her and, and be detained. the labor party opposition party in parliament. they're saying this is just political clustering, and it's not even a workable plan. and really what we shouldn't be doing is criminalizing that people smugglers instead visible. so given that opposition, charlie, how likely is this to become more on the safe and looking at it right now? it doesn't look very likely, but this is one of the government's top 5 priorities and they're hoping to push through this legislation and make it law by summer. but even the attorney general
4:10 pm
has said that it's going to be in contravention of the un charge on human rights. the home office is advise the government that this is not a workable plan. and the host secretary herself, has said that this is really going to push the boundaries of international law. so the legal hurdles are going to be almost insurmountable, even if that is sorted, if there's going to be the practical challenges that backlog in this country of us, of refugees and asylum seekers who've arrived there is now at 860000 people of the 46000 that arrived on small votes last year. only 3 percent have had their applications process. another 97 percent resting in detention centers which have now overflowed. they've now been put in hotels. the cost to the taxpayer is enormous. and that is, is one of the main pushback points from the opposition party. this is going to put people who could otherwise be processed quickly and contributing to society, lingering in detention centers and denying people who have legitimate rights to
4:11 pm
asylum in this country. to do that, they wait to have access to elizabeth charlie, thank you very much for that child. the angela joining us live from south. see what we're going to get more on this now. we're joined from london by envy, solomon the chief executive officer of the refugee council. and we also joined by ben harris quine. he's the chairman of the bow group. that's the case, oldest, conservative, think tank. thank you. both for your time and i'll start with mr. solomon from the refugee council. your reaction to this legislation do think that it will deter asylum seekers and refugees, migrant. others crossing the channel on boats? no, i don't think it will. i don't think it will stop by, i think it's unworkable. and if he just pulls from, i wanna think about what he's doing is treating people who fled the hours in afghanistan, the tyrannical rule. it's how
4:12 pm
a bag and is treating them as suspected terrorists and criminals putting them in detention, and then reporting them. well, these are people who are clearly in need of refugee protection. and i do believe it is gonna start, i'm sorry to interrupt, but i do believe that people fun of gone on and ukraine do have a path to asylum they to apply as asylum seekers that something bad. others from many other countries aren't able to do well as a say free craft games, but it's not for proportionate for the need for afghans. that's the point. and afghans are the main nationality coming across the channel. but also iranians. we know what's going on, al jazeera reports it regularly, what's going on in iran, and what opponents of the regime, hounding and used as well, from the bullet, some bombs in syria, refugees fleeing safety from syria. these are the people that the government is now
4:13 pm
saying will be treated or suspected terrorist attack placed in the $10.00 to $20.00 days and as criminals if you think it come analyzes legitimate asylum seekers. let's bring in mr. ben harris, who any here, what do you make of the legislation and rights group saying that, you know, shaq says the u. k is long standing commitment to the un refugee council. does it tarnish the u. k. the image when it comes to its place in the international community. now i think the, the current circumstance tarnishes or the images of the government and the consent party very severely. and we have to cut through the rhetoric and get to the numbers . and the numbers say is that under this government you have a record number or legal immigrants coming in each year that far higher than the last labor government. you have a recall number of illegal why grants coming in each year? you have a record number of asylum claimants and what the government pledge to day 13 years
4:14 pm
ago when it, when it came in, what concert kaji pledged to do was to reduce immigration to the 10s of thousands and end illegal immigration altogether. now unfortunately, what these sorts of reports and these, these releases from the government do is they take up an offer on rory in the crass and accusations of fall rides. and that the government's going far too far and immigration and it completely goes back to that again. as i say, we have record numbers of immigrants coming into this country under this government and they bolts that story. they want people like mr. solomon to chris. i think it makes it look like they're doing something of our integration. they, they did the same thing with the one the policy and it's very clear that that policy was never going to work. i don't think they ever intended to do it. they announced it's simply a great story to look like they were doing something. so what i would say is at all, it's one of the pledge they made, the british public is far more important than any international treaty that's been
4:15 pm
signed without the noise, the pressure on it. they would need to done lots of things and asked for 17, but right now they would need to enact a whole slew policies. but i think they don't have time to act and, and i would be very surprised if the government was able to achieve what it promised. the british public of reducing immigration to the center, thousands and eliminating illegal immigration to yell. so are you saying that you don't think that this legislation goes far enough for actually covers the entire issue here? absolutely. i mean as a say, you got to cut through the rhetoric and look at the figures in the figures. oh, we had 1200000 people come into the country with approval last year. the estimates that share the $80000.00, they go to come by. so boat starts. that of mallet said, we got, remember the, our spouse majority of people that come into this country to live in work lately will simply fly in on passport. said the numbers you like you saying coming into
4:16 pm
the country each year are going to be between $5.20 bouts to come back to that figure of what the government promised what they were elected to do. and this is a democracy. this is how we shuttle the question to this country, the people vote. and the party comes in with the policies that the public wants to hit that target and producing immigration to the 10s of thousands, especially when you consider it should have been to the entire 13 years of conservative government. and they would need to enhance an incredibly radical policy that would go way beyond what the basic you'd be talking about rates hunting away, something like 2025000 people are weak. currently, again, despite the rhetoric, the government renews only about 2000 people a year, who must have been ha, outside the in the solomon. what do you make of that? is that what you're saying? it is indeed anglo we work with people when they come across the channel. we're supporting them as we speak,
4:17 pm
a stranded living in limbo in cells in the united kingdom. that because it takes more than 18 months for decisions we made on their a silent claim. the current asylum system is chaotic. it's costly, it's not working the way it should be in france and germany. decisions are made within 6 or 7 months. the government should be focusing on creating an orderly asylum system with good quality decisions being made early. if someone doesn't have a well founded claim, they should be removed on even the removals taking place. and if they don't, if they don't have a well founded claim, it should be removed. and if they do, have a well founded claim, of course, they should be allowed, stays refugees in the latest state to show that 3 quarters of people who apply for signing the u. k. are allowed to stay at refugees. the same proportion actually as in germany, and that tells the story that the vast majority of men,
4:18 pm
women and children coming to the u. k. taking dangerous jeremy's refugees. and we should be treating them as refugees and allowing them to stay in the u. k. safely to be protected because they go on and contribute to our country. the n h s is full of people that have come in as migrant. working with doctors, nurses, and 3 workers. they make a huge difference to our communities and has plenty that there seems to be a divide between those who do think that the refugees, my grand can contribute to society. and those who feel that there has to be a limit on the number of people who can arrive, whether the vast majority of the public there needs to be a limit to poll, was done recently by, by the found the every constituency in the united kingdom. so the shipping from one which was mister west, so pretty much the entire country is united on the point the immigration has been
4:19 pm
part to the last 2 decades and there needs to be a limit. but actually, i think this very important point to make about the government's policy and what labor are saying about it. because labor have loaning permits the policy that assigned them applications should be able to be made to the british embassies and council throughout the world. and what the concern, because you're really saying is that's going to be the system that they look for going forward. they're going to say that no one should be coming to this country to kind of sign the claim, asylum in embassies and consulates. i think there needs to be a limit on this one. we hear each year, but that would allow for why the freshman, a big, a network, the consulates and embassies to hear the most needed cases of asylum seekers and brings me into this country. i think that that limit needs to be in accordance of what the consulting party promised the pressure public they would do. but i certainly think you know,
4:20 pm
that we should take in an amount of asylum seekers around them. and those should be the most needed cases and as has been said, i think it's about numbers, but those people that do come in, i think should be welcomed and i'm sure they contribute precious such a great deal. then how is plenty of the vulgar and the solomon of the refugee council? thank you both for your time on this. we do appreciate it. thank you. o u. s. president joe biden wants to increase the tax on the top tax bracket to help fund medicare under the president's plan. that was earning those earning rather more than $400000.00 a year. we taxed not 5 percent. the extra revenue is to help keep the federal insurance plan a flows lied in a set to make this proposal as part of his budget presentation. on thursday again
4:21 pm
will be tax not $3.00, the rather 5 percent. let's bring in a white house correspondent, kimberly hallett. so talk us through and the motivations for this company. yeah, well the u. s. president has long talked about how he wants to rebuild the middle class kind of from the bottom up and the middle out. in other words, he feels that the wealth gap between the highest income earners in the united states and those that are the sort of the working at the bottom are really working a lot harder and not seeing the rewards for their efforts. and so this is part of that ongoing effort to try and close that wealth gap. and this is sort of another manifestation of that something the president has been talking about since he ran for president. what this is, is another effort to try and save a government social program that the democrats in congress and also in the white
4:22 pm
house hold very dear, it's known as medicare. and what it is is essentially government health care for about 60000000 americans. but right now is facing a funding crisis in about 5 years. it's going to be in big trouble unless there are some major changes because there are more people using it, then there is enough money to keep it going. and so the proposal that the president putting forward in his budget proposal on thursday is essentially as you've outlined, it will raise taxes from 3.5 percent to 5 percent of the highest wages earners in the united states. those making over $400000.00 and also the other idea here is to reduce the cost of prescription drugs in turn so that this program is not paying so much and that this will become more financially stable in the long term. how much support does the proposal have company? well, it's enormously popular and stays life. florida, for example,
4:23 pm
where there are a large number of seniors that go to retire because it's very warm, they're in the south of the united states. so what this is really shaping up to be is a major election issue as we look towards the 2024 presidential election year. so this is one big area that this is, this program of medicare is going to be kind of on the ballot if you will. and the other one is social security. these are 2 really important programs for seniors in the united states and with an aging population in the united states. this is significant. so what we have to remember though, in all of this is, this is a proposal. this is an idea. this is something coming out of the white house, the president would like to do this, but in a co equal branch of government, where the congress ultimately decides how money is spent in the united states government. this is unlikely to pass in its current form. this will be discussed, it will be voted on. some of this may be intact by the end, but certainly there will be changes before this is finally passed. so white house
4:24 pm
correspondent committee, how could thank you. kimberly. the israeli army says it will investigate its soldiers who've been filmed, danson wood, settlers, and who at a, in the occupied west bank on monday, 5 palestinians including a 2 year old child injured when is released, settler storm, the palestinian town, victoria gayton. b reports move islands in the occupied west bank town of her warrior, which is become a flash point in recent weeks. israeli settlers stormed the palestinian town on monday night, apparently celebrating a jewish holiday. eliza jamal spoke with me. the settlers started together and we were alerted, became close to the supermarket, carrying axes and stones. they started throwing stones. then the soldiers arrived there was shooting and caused with damaged, volleyball. young and old were targeted indiscriminately. this palestinian family had been out shopping when they came under attack. they needed hospital treatment
4:25 pm
for their injuries after being hit by stones. plentiful volumes were wanted this malaya. we were just leaving the supermarket and i was about to start a car when they start throwing stones in, ive been realized, it was the settlers. they hit me on the head and then they sprayed guys in the car . look at my young daughter, she's 2 years old. she was barely able to open her eyes. finally, she managed, after almost 2 hours. my father was also hit by stones. there were bullies fired of the vehicle to i honestly can recall how i managed to start the car and drive off to save my family. ah, oh. later in the evening, israeli soldiers were filmed, dancing with settlers. these ready army has said it will open an investigation. the war is one of several palestinian towns surrounded by illegal israeli settlements with a large military base near by. oh is railey settlers had carried out at least $300.00
4:26 pm
attacks in the occupied west bank in recent weeks. those attacks came after a palestinian gunman opened fire on in his ready vehicle driving through the town, killing 2 brothers. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu was called on settlers not to take the law into their own hands. but palestinians say that law only protects his res, and there is no accountability for settler attacks. victoria gate and be al jazeera, near abraham, as in hawaii, and has more on how palestinians are coping with the attacks. you can imagine people here are still scared. they say that they still didn't even deal with the trauma of the loss that they endured. on february 26th, when subtler is attacked her water burning homes, burning cars like the ones we see here, killing one palestinian, and the feeling of our impunity that they see settlers enjoy is the reason why
4:27 pm
these attacks are still continuing to show you here. that in her water, the presence of the israeli army, they're still here. there's people still appeal threatened by their presence. the israeli government says that the israeli army, it's part of this part of the attacks that take place against palestinians. and many pastors will tell you that they often are turn a blind eye against their attacks if not incurred, those attack palestinians want the world to know that just because their video emerged doesn't mean that they don't see the fact that the israeli army often turns alive when it comes to secular, affecting palestinian israeli attacks like those witnessed and one, i have caused millions of dollars worth of damage. and everyone to campaign to
4:28 pm
secure compensation for palestinian victims. sar hireright caught up with one family from booting village. chevy. better now about on to just move on to farm says his home is like a prison with raised walls and barbed wire. he describes the time when he and his family, when 80 killed to his railey setlist for a petrol bomb into his house. that was 20 years ago bonsa tax by those living illegally further up the valley and the occupied west bank. haven't stopped since 12 juliana last week or the 4th time he says is ready. settler said one of his calls on fire and light, thousands of palestinians have been regularly targeted. he won't be receiving any compensation. i mean, not if i was we have full insurance that our case would be considered as similar. attacks aren't covered. it's costing us a lot. no one from the government has come to assess the damage either. we can't leave like this is rainy settlers attack palestinian homes in her water town that same day in the worst such violence in years. it let's international outrage. but
4:29 pm
people who say they haven't received any of the $100000.00 promise by the palestinian authority. and it wouldn't be enough to cover the costs. so to say that the tac highlights the lack of consumer protection laws and the need for a long term solution will business in the middle, the coffee law. we have a social responsibility. we live under occupation. 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 can be more important than palestinian life with insurance companies in the occupied west bank don't cover damage caused by israeli settler or military rate. that means later, we're not shirking off responsibility we're working with in international laws. they have been times that exceptional cases we've covered through a private social responsibility firm, 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
4:30 pm
our requests for an interview. it's report to be creating a new committee to look into the water attack, where there appears to be no plan to tackle the wider problem. now every palestinian family we spoken to set up salute, you reach breaking point the financial losses because a central tax are increasing year on year. and they said that is how the massive tal normally them mental but also physical health. next, the more farm is a pile of rocks held them by settlers living at the top of the hill, feeling abandoned, he says he's been left with no choice. bought a friend for himself. thought a height of al jazeera bullying village in occupied westbank, dozens of israeli air force pilots. him threatened to boycott military training and protest against the government's proposed judicial reforms. thousands of israelis have been demonstrating against planned by problems to benjamin netanyahu. to
4:31 pm
severely limit the power, the supreme court. nothing yahoo said pilots, who refused to put israel and danger. john, don't come in this deck. when we find on the best field and look lift and right, we don't do so to check the political views of our brothers and sisters. we look right and left, knowing that we're storming together shoulder to shoulder against enemies, to assure our security in the future. in a public struggle days room for protest, there's room for disagreements for expressing opinions that there's no room for refusal and wrong calm has more from west jerusalem. the announcements at that 37 out of 40 pilots and navigators from the elite, 69 squadron of these railey air force will not show up for a briefing on wednesday, has sent shock waves through israeli societies and unprecedented move the members of the military to go out on protest there, protesting the judicial reform bill that's being discussed in parliament at the moment. it gives the parliament the ability to overturn supreme court decisions and
4:32 pm
that shot israeli society. this house 2 major implications for the military. firstly, national security. clearly, the secondly, social cohesion, this is a very nationalistic, a society. this is a society is very proud of its military and the fact that the military does not get involved in politics. well, now it is involved in politics and his fear that this could be spreading. or also hearing the israeli intelligence, a members, members of shin bet former members of shit, but are going to join the protest movement as well. then that's giving government real problems because they are afraid that this might spread. it might spread to other parts of the military including the israeli army, and that'll have an impact on his role security and the room. but this is an actual security state. security is a key institution here, but it's not just that a prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself has got involved. he tweeted
4:33 pm
a picture of himself as a young soldier with the words when the call comes. reservists answer. so he's clearly very worried about this. he's putting pressure on military commanders to take disciplinary action against anybody that joins the protest movement or decides not to turn up for duty. in ron con, our desert western iceland santa golf liquefied natural gas projects set to launch this year as attracting interest from european countries. the east is looking to replace russian energy supplies due to the wine crane. nicholas hart traveled to saint louis northern seneca and sent this report closer than it appears. one of the largest discovery of natural gas in the last 2 decades from um, with a ga, the fossil fuel is both a blessing and a curse. it spells the end of a lifetime catching fish in the area with the promise of what the government says will be a prosperous future or not. i want us to profit from the gas because as soon as we
4:34 pm
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, are looking at africa to meet their energy needs. germany and poland have signed deals with synagogues, 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 of the russia, ukraine conflict on europe's energy problems may offer an opportunity for african
4:35 pm
countries to change the power dynamic setting in the leadership position. we want to be able to have whenever it comes to decision making. this is project for sending for the development of the country and is important that we have our senegalese national, sitting at the table. we're presenting to government the consequences of a conflict in europe. away from this continent is affecting and jay's future. the senegalese coast guard appears in the distance not to protect the fisherman like him, but the precious new resource destined for europe. with the state offering him training and welding in electricity. the end of life on the ocean appears to be on the horizon. and nicholas hank as joining as ly farm and a cow noun, yoda energy conference, their neck where some of the very important conversations that you mentioned in your report are continuing to take place there.
4:36 pm
that's right, liz. and this conference that started 17 years ago at the time the conversation was about who's going to provide energy to senegal. how are they going to power people's homes or factories today? the conversation couldn't be any different people. countries from europe are lining up. we've seen the president of poland, the chat vice chancellor of germany, the president of france, all lining up queuing up to get a bit of that liquefied liquefied natural gas. that synagogue have enormous resources that could put synagogue in the top 10 producers of the world. and change the circumstances for the senegalese. now he at exportation of that liquefied natural gas will start at the end of 2023. but the big question is, is seneca already? now joining me now is man ourself for the general manager, petra sign, which is that national company. so it's sending already to export that liquid to
4:37 pm
find natural gas, a citizen. last of all, these come to that have now guys and, and so we learn from the other guy that did not very well. and we learned also from all the best practice all around the world. so synagogue is ready to take the best of this and specially and everybody in for them in our constitution of synagogue, it is written that they're not doing yourselves belong to people of setting up. so no doubt we need to take the best of it. so again, we already have the human resources to end of this properly or synagogue is very well prepared to take a tourist. let me ask you this question, the russia ukraine crisis. how has that affected things for you? because a couple of years ago at top 15 rich countries were asking 4 countries to go green, and now we're seeing them lining up here to get some of that. a fossil fuels
4:38 pm
