access to social media. ah hello, i'm robot this and this is the news our life from dough hop coming up. the next 60 minutes is really forces, very visioning refugee camp or in the occupied west bank. at least one palestinian is killed. frank street, your news, ronnie, thousands in another strike against the government's plans to raise retirement age . the u. k. unveils a controversial law aimed at stopping small boats carrying asylum seekers across the english channel. plus i'm florence li, engine horse, date malaysia. when more than 42000 people are still temporarily displaced because of flesh and his full sinner. the 1st quote finalist of this season's champions league, europe's form st. brush,

a dorman taking on chelsea in london. ah, at least one palestinians been killed in his early army rate and occupied west bank is really forces stormed a refugee camp in jeanine, fighting broke out between israeli soldiers and palestinian gunmen after a house was besieged. this raid comes days after 2 israeli settlers were shot in her water in the occupied west bank. and settlers launched a wide spread attack against palestinian homes in the region as go live now to select hired whose following developments for us from ramallah. what more we hearing about this rate in shin santa all we do know is that the operation is still very much on the way we have a 26 year old palestinian that has been confirmed as dead. and so far we have at

least 11 palestinians that have been wounded in that israeli rate on refugee on jeanine refugee camp. now also while this has been happening, a drone has been found by a palestinian gunman. and we've been seeing a helicopter and israeli helicopter, hovering over this refugee camp. not at the same time as this was happening when it 1st started this operation. another rage was being carried out in another refugee camp, a south of novice, also both in occupied west bank and they said to both be related to a man hunt for the perpetrates. so the palestinian that killed 2 israeli settlers that happened just a little over a week ago in hawaii, also in occupied west buying key shots and killed 2 brothers. they were both in the twenty's and ever since then, her water has been pretty much on the lot sound by the israeli forces. it's also the place where hundreds of those attack shop homes, businesses,

pretty much the whole of the town was set on fire by these settlers and some of those old cations were continued even just earlier this morning. so this gives you an idea of the situation that has been happening in occupied with buying as these railways look for palestinians that have been carrying out these recent attacks. so looking at the broader picture, you and the teams, they are having reporting on the increase in the number of attacks of a recent weeks. is there a sense of a deliberate escalation in this? there absolutely has been if you just look at jeanine refugee count, which is extremely densely populated, that was the rate that was carried out by the israeli forces just earlier this year where 10 palestinians were killed in not one, not triggered quite a big general strike as well as protest amongst palestinians, we've been seeing an increase in demolition israeli demolitions of homes. we've seen an increase in rates and seen an increase in the others that have been killed

in the u. n. has said also an increase in settler attacks where we're seeing an average of 3 but nor attacks a day that's just this year alone the highest, the husband in more than a decade. 7 all this is a new israeli very much a right wing. ultra orthodox tra nationalist government that includes is really cetera within that government that seems to be. 8 clumping down heavily on policy is at the same time as that's been happening. there's been international condemnation. we've had the us, we've had egypt, jordan, all of these countries, but held a meeting recently in arkell, but in jordan to try and crush those pensions and to try and reduce the number of palestinians that policy in death throes, either because of the israeli occupation that this government insists on expanding its specimen. pay and occupied with buying support is very much irene palestinians . now janine is one of those counts where there has also been an increase in

palestinians where they have been some other attacks that have been carried out also injury. so we've seen an increase there, but the palestinians say when you are living on undone occupation, this is the way they can resist that occupation. so the situation seems to be very much $10.00 pay that's right. that's being carried out by the israeli forces is still very much ongoing. so thank you very much. indeed. that's kind of bringing this up to date from ramallah, with his early army says is going to investigate soldiers who been filmed, dancing with settlers in a water in the occupied westbank on monday, 5 palestinians, including a 2 year old child, were injured when his really settlers stormed the palestinian town victoria gigabyte reports, move islands in the occupied west bank town of her warrior, which has become a flash point in recent weeks. israeli settlers stormed the palestinian town on monday night, apparently celebrating a jewish holiday,

alleging jamal spoke with me. the settlers started together and we were alerted them, 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 for their injuries after being hit by stones. plentiful volumes were wanted this melissa, 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 gas 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 door bullies fired a 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. who are or is one of several palestinian town surrounded by illegal israeli settlements with a large military base nearby. o is rarely settlers had carried out at least $300.00 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 settler attacks victoria gate and be al jazeera and people are marching in cities across france. and the latest nationwide protests against proposed reforms to pensions. anger has continued to grow at the president's plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 teachers transport staff

and sanitation workers have walked off the job vios and gets easy, but was even working until $64.00 is impossible for us. sanitation workers need to retire at 52 or 57 years old. are yet, but it's not possible because the pensions are too small. so everyone pushes and pushes and pushes on. but we have colleagues who die before or just after they retire or fall seriously ill, often with cancer. and they only have a couple of years after retirement. and they're sick at the end of their lives. my life where you go live to paris. natasha boffa is at a protest there. natasha can see behind you this street does. there at least seem fairly quiet, but we have been looking at pictures where it is much, much busier, and other parts of paris talk us through what's going on is quite behind me because the protesters are actually just making their way out this street. and i will be, well, pretty much near us any, any moment now. we've seen thousands of people walk through paris is certainly very

big demonstration. and it's pretty much the similar picture across the country where there are hundreds of similar protests and demonstrations. this is a nationwide strike, you've got people from across the public sector who have basically walked out of work schools, a shot transpose disrupted many bus metro and train services a cancelled or at least greatly reduce the same thing. also for a flights in and out of the country, there's a lot of anger amongst workers over the french government plans to reform the pension system, particularly raised the retirement age by 2 years to 64 people telling us, look, this is an erosion of their rights being able to retire earlier is something that they very much cherish. they also resent the fact that they will be made to work longer in order to be eligible for a full pension. will trade union say that they want to try and bring the country to a standstill? that this is going to be the 1st they say of a number of rolling strikes?

what president, macro and the government seeing but why all of this is needed? who? reforming the pension system was one of the french president's campaign promises since his 1st time in office, he has said he's wanted to reform the pension system. he tried to push through this reform during his 1st term, but then that was conveyed. it got put on the back burner, and now he has tried to revive this bill. michael says it is essential because the pension system, he says, is complex on realty. it is out of date and it costs the state a loss of money and is simply not sustainable in the long term. there's also a real sense that france must come into line with other european countries and their retirement nature ages, on average a bit high around 64. 65 people are living longer, said the french government, therefore they have to accept that they will have to work for longer. but of course, that is not the feeling. amongst many people who say this is simply on democratic because there is so much opposition not only in the streets,

but in parliament to this reform. in fact, opinion polls suggest that a majority of french people are against it. natasha, thank you very much. indeed. obviously we're going to be coming back to you as those protests make their way through the streets of various cities around france, but for now natasha bottom and parish. thank you. tony bar ahead on the news are including as the british and french leaders prepared to hold our 1st bilateral summits in 5 years on poll brennan and cali. looking at how policy on the small growth crossings a so far failed the u. n. releases a plan to help her younger refugees in bangladesh as those who start to rebuild their lives after a huge fire in the town. and in sports baseball funds and 3 countries are getting ready for the world baseball classic. ah. but a champion debating

a bill aimed at curbing the numbers of refugees and migrants arriving on british shores as to fulfill the prime ministers promised to deport any one entering the country illegally. the home secretary said the volume of illegal arrivals had overwhelmed the countries asylum system. and was part of a larger global migration problem. in the coming years, developed countries will face unprecedented levels with precious, from ever greater numbers of people leaving the developing world for places like united kingdom. unless we act to day, the problem will be worse to morrow. and the problem is already unsustainable day with the opposition labor party says the proposed bill will only make the problem worse. the government has allowed criminal gangs to take home back along the channel and along our border at the same time. convictions of

people smugglers have halt when what is asylum? decisions have collapsed down? 40 percent. the backlog and closely inappropriate hotel use have stored on removals of unsuccessful asylum seekers out down 80 percent on the left labor government and legal family reunion. baez's full refugees are down 40 percent. this is deeply damaging. chaos sounds good or corresponded? charlie angela. she's joining us live from chelsea on the case. southern coast. charlie, what more can you tell us about the legislation of as well. let me tell you where i am. i mostly got the channel behind me, the stretch of water between england and france across which some 46000 people crossed in small boats last year. not all of them making it now. the prime minister is quoting this, the stop the boat's bell new heard the home secretary in parliament there. what was a very lively debate with lots of heckling saying that this is their attempt to deter,

would be migrants and asylum seekers from arriving in this country via irregular roots. they've used the term illegal rates, but technically if you're an asylum seeker, you cannot be persecuted all. penalize for arriving in in the country via as a small boat or a regular means. that's a try and under the un convention on refugees for they're saying that this will essentially stop people from what they say, jumping the cliff. the cue ahead of other people who might be arriving in the u. k . legally. now, currently the only legal rates available to nationals is for from afghanistan, from hong kong and from ukraine. and that's one of the big pushback from the opposition, that there's not enough safe alternatives for people to arrive in this country. if they are fleeing persecution, and out of positions coming thick and fast from lawyers who saying that this is going to be in contravention of the u. n. a conventional refugees from charities who saying this is just going to criminalize people who are already in

a very desperate situation and have enjoyed a very arduous journey. and it's coming from the labor party who saying that the conservative party are really using this as political posturing and what they should be doing, as you heard from yvette cooper, is criminalizing the people smugglers instead try to thank you very much. indeed. as charlie angela talking to us from sophie the youtube southern coast. well, the bell puts the fate of sizes of migrants and refugees tried to cross into the u . k. from france in limbo, or brannon proposed from color. it's bitterly cold and damp, and these flimsy tents offer very little protection. this camp on the edge of cali is mainly refugees from sudan, just a 100 or so of the estimated 4000000 people who fled the horrors of civil war in that country. is it that desperate that you would put your life on the line that you would risk your life? but what might have alive, you know, i don't have a life. i don't have a live in my country. mohammed arrived here just

a few days earlier. it's very risky. would you take a boat if you had the opportunity? yes, of course. i would. the numbers using small boats to cross the narrow, but deadly stretch of water between france and england, have grown exponentially from just a few 100 in 2018 to nearly 46000 in 2022. in global terms, those numbers are small. but to the u. case right, when government, the boats have become a totemic issue, we will pass new laws to stop small boats, making sure that if you come to this country illegally, you are detained and swiftly removed since 2021. soon ex government has promised $140000000.00 to the french for extra police patrols and improved security. the u. k. also plans to deport migrant to rwanda, although none have actually gone yet. and yet the crossings continue. and so to the

efforts of the charities trying to offer support they're having to select criminals . well, actually they are people fleeing conflicts and prosecution. there people who are looking for safety, who elephant friendship, and a safe passage, a safe, illegally humanitarian visa. similar, see, the cleaning fee would be a perfect solution to and a lot of policies. the french police go through the motions every 2 days they break up the camps, but with nowhere else to go, the refugees simply return immediately afterwards. louis whitter has spent the last 6 years photographing the situation in kelly. the potters in strategy is absurd. it just gets because every 40 hours, some people out from the campus, there are no solutions offered to them. there are no centers open to welcome them. for example, they're just told that you have to leave these places. but in the, the british prime minister has pledge to stop the boats. the question is how on the related question is, why do you treat it as a criminal problem to be tackled or the humanitarian crisis to be sold? either way,

tens of millions of dollars have been spent and still the tide has not been turned, pulled. brennan, just era kelly us president joe biden wants to increase the tax and countries wealthiest americans to help fund medicare under the president's plan. those earning more than $400000.00 a year will be taxed 5 percent. the extra revenue is to help keep the federal insurance plan of float by the set to make this proposal as part of his budget presentation. on thursday, we're going to go to our white house correspondent kimberly halted. what's driving this? kimberly oh, what's driving it is a campaign promise. in part the u. s. president said on the campaign trail and as since he's become president, that his goal was really to rebuild the middle class in the united states. so to close the wealth gap that he sees widening in the united states, where essentially that the top income earners are increasingly getting more and

more wealthy and the rest of america is sort of being left behind. and so this is an attempt to try and sort of rebel as the scales if you will. and to do that, he's trying to bolster some of social programs that are really in trouble. namely in this case it's medicare. and this is a social program that is really designed to protect the elderly americans in the united states, some 60000000 that counted it for their health care. and what the problem is is essentially that it's running out of money in about 5 years. it's going to be in trouble, and so this is going to allow for it to continue. what the proposal is, is that the top wage earners in the united states making over 400000 would have their taxes increase from 3.5 percent to 5 percent. and this would fund that program. in addition, there would also be a reduction in the cost of prescription drugs in order to see this continue for decades to come. and kimberly, there are in certain sections of the american government and of course,

a fine balance between the republicans and democrats. how likely is it that this is going to be passed? well then, what is important to know in all of this is that, well, the white house proposes legislation. it doesn't make legislation that is approved by the u. s. congress because they're co equal branches of government. and that is made up of democrats and republicans. right now. the white house is a democrat controlled house at the moment. so, oh, what we've got is a bit of a debate is going to take place before it is, is finally to become law. so this is justice proposal form. you can bet that it's going to have some changes, especially when republicans way in on this because they see this is income redistribution and they're not big fans of that. so i expect that there are going to be some changes in the republican controlled house of representatives, but the bottom line is, what we're really going to see here is this being an election issue in 2024 in the

presidential election. because what's on the line here are 2 really important government programs, particularly in states like florida, as well as arizona where there are a lot of seniors that go to retire. i, it's not just going to be medicare that's very dear, but also shall social security. which is guaranteed income for seniors. these are really important social programs and many seniors that are voters want to make sure they're protected. that's our white house correspondent, kimberly hawker, kimberly, thank you. the u. n. is appealing for international aid to help refugees in bangladesh. on the sunday, a large fire account and cox's bazaar destroyed more than 2000 homes, schools and hospitals, 12000 refugees and now displaced once again. and their child has got more from bali . and cox is bizarre, nearly 6 years on their don't hang a refugee crisis, showing no sign of winding down. more than 1000000 refuge is living in a very densely packed area. what is now the world's largest refugee camp?

that faces all kind of challenges on daily basis. franklin. 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 them will hang out face nutritional and deficiencies due to limit that food available. they haven't very limited freedom of movement. many of them even tried to leave 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 dies and very recently the world food program and downs, they'll be a ration card for the rowing guys due to serious, fun shortage is in response. the bang of those government, the you and, and it's prompt now, is going for the 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 profits. countries sandwich chaudhry o g o z a r bala, kelly cox's bizarre. i'll just say nick long sat down with bangladesh, his prime minister shake. how soon he asked her about conditions in the comes and what the future holds for that are hanging refugees. the routine good situation, given the fire that has taken place there and the many thousands that have lost their homes. what's your reaction to that? first of all, and secondly, how can you reassure people and the 1000000 plus ringo refugees who live there? that's something is being done about their situation. well, when this incident started and people went door turned,

marla then waved so many things happen. actually would be bad, then we open our door, been flags them, they allowed them to come and we make all that is meant for shelter, teacher and all this stays on him and it turned gown side by side. we started talking to me a model soon than this is mia, your citizen. you should take them back. unfortunately, they are not responding bay positively. i feel that this people should go back to their own land on home. but it's impossible because the security situation and as you say me, and while you can't even talk to them well, in the national community, they are putting pressure on them then the but this is really, really difficult. we have our ins accommodation in a separate place, that is a good less than good accommodation in last until is it

a good place to look very good? it is very overcrowded and no, no, it is in very good place and the good. how's the and the good is been for the children to what about the living conditions generally because this fire has just taken place and thousands, 12000 plus analogous places to live now in the camp in cox's bad situation is not very good, but now they haven't started fighting with each other the in does in different type of activities, delay, duct, african arm trafficky human trafficking, and also they have their own conflicts. but this one become more difficult because the whole forecast is now on the wire and that he threw his ear from the green. and you can watch the entire

interview with bangladesh going ministers here. i see now on talk to our 0. that's at $430.00 g m t on march, the 11th. at least 5 people are being killed in floods after days of torrential rain in malaysia, some houses have been submerged. tens of thousands of people being forced to leave their homes. and their sheltering in scores and community centers. more rain is forecast in the south than the east of the country with the risk of further flooding phones, louise got more from punch or in southern malaysia. some roads are still impossible like this one here that leads to punch or town. the only way in through this route is by boat. now, while we were here, some residents came by hoping to be able to go home to retrieve some of their more important belongings. like documents, but they weren't able to. and one man we spoke to also said he doesn't expect to have a source of income for the next 6 months because he doesn't think the oil palm trees in his plantation will survive. the floods are a larger late because we just have to accept it because this is god's will and not

mans. this is nature. we are thought, but what can we do? where do we just have to accept the situation? the been we feel because we love a lot of things. this right. so like the law. no, no human lives. lot floodwaters here will likely take several more days to recede. authorities recently released water from a nearby dam and some places into haul received an unusually heavy rain in the last week. in some places it was the most rain recorded in more than 30 years. but some environmentalists say. the severe flooding cannot be blamed on heavy rains alone. there are several factors that contribute to this deforestation over development and soil. erosion are factors that have made places less able to cope with extreme weather. patterns still had an al jazeera, the battlefield box moods, ukraine's president says his military will defend the besieged city. his russian forces inch closer to the 1st major victory and more than 6 months. as europe looks at african countries such as selling all defeat is energy demands that are

a heavy shower that we have across northern parts of south america. scattering a shower into the caribbean, but it's largely fine and dry suspect if you a showers the costa rica over the next hour or so, but they will still be there. nevertheless, panama, or sing a little bit of wet weather. you might just catch a shower or 2 up towards belize and the yucatan peninsula now across north america . cause big concerns remain in place for that snow which continues to come down across western side of the continent. the pacific northwest all the way down at the northern areas of california. i'm afraid there is more snow in the forecasts here over the next few days as we go on through the last part of the we'll be more heavy, rain coming back in across the region as well. have you? i mean, while also running across a good part, the deep south. ah, well, jesse revolt takes a road trip across spain. spanish people love to tell you who they are and where

hulu. ah, you want to go to 0 or one of our top stories? this are thousands of friends workers on the strike and are protesting against the president's plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 teachers transport stuff and sanitation workers walked off the job. british m. p. 's are debating a bill aimed at curbing the numbers of undocumented migrants arriving on british shores as to fulfill the prime ministers promised to deport anyone entering illegally. home secretary said the volume of illegal arrivals had overwhelmed as solemn system and was part of a larger global migration for at least 5 palestinians had been killed and an army rate in the occupied west bank comes days after 2 is rare, uses or shot dead in colorado on monday night is really sadly stormed,

holla and target. and palestinians, 5 palestinians including a 2 year old child, were injured. similar attacks by settlers of caused millions of dollars worth of damage. and they both. those also revived a campaign to secure compensation for palestinian victims, so i kind of caught up with one family from bull and village. 7 better now about wanting to move on to farm says his home is like a prison with raised walls and barbed wire. he described the time when he and his family were 80 killed through his railey setlist for a petrol bomb into his house. that was 20 years ago bonsa taxed by those living illegally further up the valley and the occupied west bank haven't stopped since at juliana last week was the 4th time. he says, israeli settlers set one of his cause on fire and light, thousands of palestinians have been regularly targeted. he won't be receiving any compensation. i mean that without our we have full insurance, that our case would be considered as settler 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 open. it is ready settlers attack palestinian homes and what a town that same day in the worst such violence in years it let's international outrage. but 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 to tack highlights the lack of consumer protection laws and the need for a long term solution. business model, the coffee law, we have a social responsibility. we live under occupation. we call the government to introduce special policy or forms 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 statler 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 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, where there appears to be no plan to tackle the wider problem. now every palestinian family we spoken to set up the li, reach, breaking point the financial losses because a set for attacks are increasing year on year. and they said that is how the massive tal normally their 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 bots. offend for himself. thought a height of al jazeera bullying village in occupied westbank.

ah, your grains president vladimir zalinski says his troops will keep defending the besieged eastern city of bock mood, dismissing reports, they are preparing to withdraw. it's one of the bloodiest battles of the war. a wind for russia would give president vladimir putin as symbolic victory, bernard smith's reports, in a village, 17 kilometers west of back, mort, ukraine's military diggs new trenches. a suggestion, perhaps that this could be a new line of defense. to give it up a fleet we're leaving, we remained until the very last that we wanted to stay. but how can we, it's time to go on as the last remaining residence leave? ukraine soldiers move in. ukraine in government says it's not withdrawing from back mot. anesha those us, but you're in the russians, don't count losses neither personnel nor military vehicles. they push it to take

back moot as a matter of principle for them. and for us, it's a matter of principle to defend it. so it's not just a city, it's a symbol or a fortress of back moot. ah, the strategic value of back model is far outweighed by symbolic value. russian forces had been waging an intense campaign for months to seize control of the small city they call audio mosque. if they take it, it will become the russians 1st significant territorial advance in more than 6 months. robert, mister, negotiate bust out. you are the liberation of art. your mouth continues to see these. an important hub for defending ukrainian troops in the don bye system. taken it under control, it will allow further offensive actions to be conducted deep into ukraine's defensive logic worse now. poorly, boy, russia says its annex, nearly a 5th of ukraine in territory. moscow's forces have made clear, gained a round back mort, but elsewhere, the russian winter offensive hasn't yielded territory in other major assaults.

further north and south, along the front line. bernard smith al jazeera. let's bring in journals, julius of oliver. she's joining us by skype from moscow. thank you very much. and e for being with us as bernard was explaining the abutment is an industrial time. but strategically not said to be that important. why is it so symbolic for russian forces to take control their yes, that's according to the secretary of defense secretary lloyd austin, and that was a, he's actually quote that he said latin had more of a symbolic rather than spit teaching value. well, is his symbolic, it is symbolic, and as you mentioned before, at present, the landscape and the command of the armed forces of ukraine delusion and sir, kick him on to the ground forces who had just visited backward. they decided not to surrender batman, but on the contrary, taking advantage of disagreements and the commander of the russian army,

to strike bon can natalie to and to actually and blow back morale. so to defeat the main russian strike force, the volcanic group who left without cover replenishment and the necessary amount of ammunition that's according to its head. mister pre goshen to head over the bug in a group called his as situation a peer or shaw, or the pie. when wagner has already almost blocks, the armed forces of ukraine in buttonwood and the armed forces of ukraine are preparing to blow. volcanic south with fresh brigades and such a scenario can be prevented. a wagner resumes interaction with junior gear rossimer . the commander of the russian special miniature operation. however, the interaction on the country has been completely interrupted according to pre goshen, at the initiative of grass him of. so here we can see a very strong lift between mr. precision and the bosses or the russian armed forces . but this significance of the battle, the significance right of the battle of the hoot again,

increased massively as the armed forces of ukraine will defend themselves here to the ends. and the russians are not going to give up either yearly or one of the things that is fascinating to those of us watching this situation from outside is the fact that is getting provision seems to be able to make such public criticism of the senior figures within the military with virtual impunity with absolutely no comeback whatsoever. and that seems very strange at a time of conflict when one would expect the military. i'm those working in and around the military to try to be cohesive. how is it that he is able to make these very public statements? yeah, interesting isn't that because actually yes, he's allowed to say a little bit more than the rest of his here. because you know, if the noise re, parson, as tom's criticising b, special military operation here in russia, they can be, you know, couldn't trail for quite the, you know,

the number of years. and so there is as if they've been said many times that there is a rift between getting promotion and the russian armed forces. but just not only with them because we see a lot of you getting promotion on the internet. we read his telegram channel and we see all those criticisms, not just of all the army, but also to addressed to the mail st. petersburg, for instance, and people who are standing behind and so, and it means that we are witnessing some sort of internal power struggle with all those groups and alliances and functions starting to, you know, a fight with a child. and, you know, for some sort of, for, for, for a fair share of power for, for a fan shadow, you know, the mother russian, it's wells. and at the how will that will have mr. payton was very effectively holding back all those wonderful people and basically controlling and this rivalry . and by that i mean by that, those wonderful people. i mean, of course, representatives of the ceo, the key or the,

the and security services like the f as b, a police or national guard and global up. sorry, can. can you hear me there? syria. we can use anchor. oh, sorry, sorry. because i did something wrong with the connection that sorry, yeah, julie, i tell you what, we're just going to leave it there because we are having a few problems with the connection. but the jojo shop of out of a thank you very much. indeed for talking to us from law school. thank you. thank you. you know the number to palestinians dead in israeli raisins jeanine and occupied by spikes now risen to 6. we're going to go to south high that who's the following developments for us from walla. so the numbers appear to be rising. what more do we know? that's right, it's, it's developing story at the moment as these writing forces are still in the middle of that big operation engineering refugee camp 6 palestinians are dead. that's been confirmed. and we have at least 11 palestinians wounded that those numbers have been rising every minute,

almost in the last hour or so. since this operation has started, not the same time as this has been going on. another raid was being carried out in another refugee camp, just south of nablus. both rates are said to be related to a palestinian that they're looking for that carried out an attack where he killed and shot 2 israeli settlers that happened just a little over a week ago in her water town also in occupied was fine. that event led to settlers that had attacked her water. they took shot home businesses. and this late since raid is said to be the read to set to be rather related that attack. still, this is an ongoing situation and things are changing by the minute. saw it in ramallah. thank you sir. my goal is liquefied natural gas project set to launch this year. is it striking interest from european countries?

the u is looking to replace russian energy supplies due to the war in ukraine because hard travelers, son lily in northern synagogue and sent this report closer than it appears. one of the largest discovery of natural gas in the last 2 decades from them with a ga, the fossil fuel is both a blessing and a curse. it spells the end of a lifetime catching fish and the area that 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 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 said he is 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 belong to the tenant. and these 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 countries to change the power dynamic settings in the leadership position. we want to level to have whenever it comes to decision making. this is project for sending off for the development of the country and is important that we have our senegalese national, sitting at the table. we're presenting the 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 fishermen like him, but the precious new resource destined for europe, with estate offering him training and welding in electricity. the end of life on the ocean appears to be on the horizon. nick hi is joining us. not a lie from dock. i mean you are at a conference on energy and i'm guessing the gas projects like the one incentive golf must be part of the discussions. it's the most important conversation that's happening here. what are they going to do with all the revenues there is going to come from the liquid liquefied natural gas that is going to be extracted. and extraction is going to start at the end of this year in 2023. and last year we had a series of heads of states from the chancellor of germany. we had all that show that we had the vice president of poland, all lining up coming to synagogue in order to build more relationships. because

they want to tap into that resource. now joining me now jump out of and who is the organizer of this event? he is the head of the association for the development of energy in africa. told me not. do you think that senate go will be able to deliver that promise gas you european at the end of the year? it's a visual very with question. in fact, the us they got on the now which is close at the end of the year that we use something like $2500000.00 g, which is why it's more give you a shot. well, writing something i went to the video to being meter several times when the times of this month. so i think that if it's possible, but it was a very complex, very complex project because it's very deep. they didn't,

they need the money for them. i meant to have up to 5000000 projects which was later. i don't see what you're seeing. huge when jeep as it can be a good good sip rosalee music. one, it is my food surprise, and yet there is so much interest from europeans who are coming here now because because of the plot of the russia ukraine crisis. now, how is this interest? how is the russia ukraine crisis affecting what's happening here? it's a big issue for me is following, in fact, a just thought of the one year ago and progressively more so expo shockey gas to europe stop. okay, and now when you are busy on this minute thing, looking for gout, they find the fair amount of gas. first comes the u. s. a. u. s. is taking advantage of just to exploit the loft. what did you say that they can are so important? be small from the farms a girl from get go? i don't really like. so it's

a big issue is that of course is discounts that you learn a lot reserves about a week. they die before you can expose easy and you have a kind of a competition between european that decreasing the gaza, gaza consumption and disease comes me swaying to increase of pollution. so we see what happens, but we must be able activity care for we observe risk up diva developing huge projects and limited developmental lead me to the output. was the sports jumping off of an act. thank you very much. thank you. with this. now, what's interesting is these european countries at the company 15 had said that they were going to turn their attention to green energy and encourage countries throughout the world to go to go to solar power or to use wind power is in order to power their homes but now there seems to be, you turn from some of these countries looking at liquefied natural gas from senegal and elsewhere, to try to keep costs low in europe. now what's happening here and set

a goal is there's an election at the end of the year. and of course, one of the main issues here is, will this well go to every cynic lease in a country where most people don't have access to electricity? that's the challenge. and of course, less insular from what has happened to countries where there is a lot of oil and gas is the issue of governance and corruption. and so, since this is an election year and there's going to be an election presidential election in february 2024. the issue now is to ensure that that wealth will be equally distributed back to you, rob nicholas. thank you very much. indeed. nicholas hacked, talking to us from duck, are austin, south korea's spy agencies, revealed new details about the life of north korean leader. king john owns daughter kings m. m. as recently accompanied her father to a series of public events, stalking speculations. she, me benchley take power in pyongyang, officials, and so say she's believe to be about 10 years old. and she's been homeschooled and
