ah. hello, i'm sorry. i'm to my the welcome to the news. our lie from london coming up in the next 60 minutes. israeli forces right? did you need refugee camp in the occupied west bank? at least 6 palestinians have been killed. trading blame over the nord stream, sabotaged us officials, investigate whether a pro ukrainian group was responsible, controversial proposals unveiled by the u. k. government targeting asylum seekers who arrive on small boats and for us citizens kidnapped in northern mexico, officials say only to have survived your deal in school will sing neither 1st quarter pharmacy vis seasons champions, league europe's form saying brush a dorman taking on chelsea in london. ah,

welcome to the program. at least 6 palestinians have been killed in an israeli army right and the occupied westbank is ready forces stormed a refugee camp in jeanine. fighting then broke out between the troops and palestinian gunman after house was besieged. israel's prime minister says, one of the dead had been behind the killing of 2 israeli brothers last month. who they meant to say, like, you see, the israeli army demolished the house. and even if they demolished all our houses, our spirits will remain hard. we wish for those who are injured to recover and peace be upon those who are martyred. and shame on all the traces. sir, i right has been following developments farce from ramallah. well,

that right is now over. it took almost 3 hours for these writing forces to kill 6 palestinians. most of them are in the twenty's and we have least $24.00 palestinians injured in that right now, these really forces have released a statement confirming that one of those killed believe to be a 49 year old man was killed because they believe that he is the person that carried out an attack on to israeli settlers just over a week ago in hawaii, which is also in occupied west bank. now this right comes at the time when there's plenty of rays are increased sets up by the israeli government. and we've heard. c from benjamin netanyahu, and he released a statement in that statement. he says, i promise whoever homes off his blood will be on his head now. quite a strong statement coming from him because those number of deaths have increased justin occupied with frank to 73 palestinians killed in

a little over 2 months since the beginning of the year. we've also had the palestinian reaction from both on the president's office, calling the res clear israeli decision to start a war against palestinians, and they're also demanding international intervention. for some odd one is a garza based journalist activist and research. he joins me now and i understand that you have been in touch with people in geneva, where these violent incidents and rates have been taking place. what do they tell you about developments there and what the situations like now? i believe it's a very tense situation and a 2 minds all of one of the horrible days in the policy and history and in the history of those really is a human rights violations. the massacre of junior, in which they also encouraged a total rising. the palestinians and killing their children,

getting their member this incident should, it shouldn't be taken out of the context of there's res escalation since the start of 2022. and which is what it is and came to novelist. the west bank today is to read a lot of last week. this is an ongoing escalation from. there's radio most fall, right? establish government and it's demanding one thing about a soon and blood. the more about us in both, the more the auto thriving with the for mission of israel is a new government. i guess. you know, that's been, i mean that we do often see it's a regular occurrence for that to be violence in the west bank and jerusalem. and i suppose, you know, is there a government's arguments is that, you know, that happen this series of a fatal attacks by palestinians on israelis last year. and, you know, that's prompted you know, what they are calling this crack down. and these raids and refugee camps to try and track down those who are behind this violence,

including the man who killed the 2 brothers, the israeli settlers. how would you describe the levels of violence we are seeing now? i think this is a strategy from the israeli government witnessing establishment of the most. all right, so far on most racist israeli government officials and one government it tomorrow give. or if, for example, have been exempted from israeli and military service, a put there was an antenna he's, i can spell the 1st and this is an indication of a longer strategy of a ceiling, more palestinian lot of enforcing what i what i call you would need the israeli, a strong policy that the hub that rides to kind of palestinians, i'm alison's house in the light to respond to. despite that there are national laws protecting the palestine and right to resist when there's a dominant power,

an occupying power. apartheid that in which is what has been recognized for the last 10 years throughout the international human rights organization that says that this is an upper kind of state. and it's acting a on a daily basis acts of terrorism and can and of ballasting is civilians including children and women. whether it's really the government, the goal is always claiming when it, when there is a water plant. again espousing has been gaza strip for the worst happened in 2008, 20122014 and the list goes on and the same things happening on a daily basis on the west bank, nablus, how washing shop law. and also the list goes on with the ignorance of their national communities, a holding accountability towards also human rights violation, i think is sort of this thing to what limits this. impunity that they are enjoying with those are human rights recognized the human rights violations. and the order a sort of bargaining those palestinian blood for more a candidacy for more establishment. or there's really it most. all right,

in most cases government about palestinian leadership that has been we pending its loss. credibility with the policy people for a long time. and that combined with perhaps the weakening of the policy and security forces as they lost the trust of the people to the extent whereby they're areas perhaps like area around jeanine, which they no longer have access to. so they can't go in and you know, possibly try to find perpetrators of violence towards israelis. and so that means if there are no go areas for them, it gives in these writing on me a pretext to kind of step in. yeah, i think israel doesn't need a pretext to violate, go to national laws, violate because there's a give me, there's just specifically to the point about that we can policy and security forces . what do you make of that? i think it's a whole faith that the israel, that the palestinian authority has failed to protect its citizens so far it has been a fail so far over the last 4 decades. as far as i can remember, the are, i mean, the israeli government, the israeli,

the own government. different governments have been a strongly talking about the strong relationship in which the called the coordination of the person and authority to maintain the security or with balancing introductory is. and there's really 2 actors as well. but with coordination existed in the best ways, israel is a, stella killing palestine, and in spite ballasting cities rating palestinian communities arising neighborhoods and killing citizens, including children and women. i don't think the pretext is israel needs a reason to do that because they are doing that with the existence of a lot of the palestinian authority and without this is a, this is a practice of an ongoing is really a government's formation, different governments formation that the are, are demanding more palestinian lands with in which we are seeing in the last couple of months, more annexation of the scene of the west bank. and is even with the recent activities happening in palestine is ready for the israeli officials. calling for

a white out for entire ballasting and villages and neighborhoods. this is a sort of an indication of what mentality that israeli government is eating when it comes to palestinians and actions that can espousing its. ok, well thank you for joining us. there is some antoine there. these ready armies saying it's going to investigate soldiers who were filmed, dancing with settlers in hawaii in the occupied west bank. this was on monday out 5 palestinians including a 2 year old child were injured when his ready, settler storm, the palestinian town. that ever him reports. when videos like this emerge plus any and say it's not the exception. israeli soldiers dancing with settlers who entered the palestinian town of her water on monday night. the only difference is that it was caught on camera. this was to the security camera footage shows how

was really set to those attacked palestinians and for water injuring 5 members of the same family, including a 2 year old girl. they were shooting up to speed live ammunition, god helped us. my wife was sitting the back behind the driver and she hooked our daughter to cover. we could have lost her. there was real danger to our lives. you had said me who owned the supermarket, tells us they were out numbered, and could him push them away. even when the palestinian cars are the ones damaged and the attack took place against families and children. but the army treat palestinians of suspect is really subtler attacks have been on the rise felicity and see the settlers are often emboldened by the army which was deployed to the town south of nablus in recent weeks. the presence of these really army doesn't make palestinians feel safe for many here at last, the soldiers should do more to prevent subtler attacks. and the 4th fella is out of

their home in the guise of keeping them safe. these really forces escorted this new family out of their home after the settlers attacked them late in february. the grandmother was with her daughter and grandchildren in the house, when the settlers set it on fire. these really army released this picture of and she roughness saying the soldiers were protecting palestinians like her city. and sheriff says she was not protected. get me all of them here. the army only protects the settlers and not the palestinians. when they saw us almost getting burnt, and the health they took us out. they're here to guard the suckers. alcohol owner of the 8 is really satler's, arrested after the attack on palestinians and her water only to our under house arrest. this 4 kilometers stretch of me and rolled in her water has become a flash point in the growing tension between palestinians and israelis living in

illegal settlements. one, many here worn could easily escalate. neither ever to him. al jazeera, the occupied westbank cranes present. laudermill zalinski says his troops will keep defending the besieged eastern city of baton. it just missing reports that they are preparing to withdraw. this is one of the bloodiest battles of the war. so far. a wind for russia were give, present my dinner parishioner symbolic victory from his winter offensive. bernard smith reports in a village, 17 kilometers west of buck, mort, ukraine's military diggs new trenches. a suggestion perhaps, that this could be a new line of defense. to give it a bustling we're leaving. we remained until the very last that we wanted to stay. but how can we is the time to go? 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 didn't mean 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 what is far outweighed by symbolic value, russian forces have 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, mr. negotiate custodial. the liberation of argue mosque continues to see these an important hub for defending ukrainian troops in the dom by system taken it under control. it will allow further offensive actions to be conducted deep into ukraine's defensive logic. worse now, poorly boil russia says it's 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, our intelligence being reviewed by us official suggests a pro ukrainian group carried out an attack on the north stream pipelines last year . this is, according to the new york times the u. s. in nato both described september's attacks on the gas pipelines as an act of sabotage. moscow blame the west natural gas pipeline links russia to western europe, were ripped apart by deep sea explosions in september. so let's now speak to mike hannah, who's in washington, dc. and so since those attacks in september, it was russia in the west really trading blame over this. now u. s. officials are inspector investigating a possible ukrainian link well, us officials are quoted as saying that they investigating this. this is just the

latest in what has been a series of unsubstantiated reports about who was responsible for the pipeline explosion. now we have the new york times quoting a name to an identified intelligence sources as saying that some ukrainian group was involved in the attack on that pipeline. now for their part, the ukrainian government insists that there was no formal ukrainian in involvement whatsoever as senior a, to the ukrainian president, saying that there was absolutely no involvement and saying as well that the ukrainian authorities still do not know who carried out that attack this is echoed by us state department, also the national security council. no comment whatsoever on the new york times report, there has been common linked to it from a spokesman for the national security council, john kirby, who would only say that a number of european countries including germany and norway and sweden are

continuing investigations into who was responsible for that type pipeline blast saying that these investigations ongoing and making clear that there is no resolution to these ongoing investigations, no doubt, one of which the u. s. itself is continuing to conduct. okay, mike, thanks. i will warn you. crane or force european government to look for alternatives to russian gas, and that search could lead them to senegal. a new liquefied natural gas project of africa. western coast is almost 80 percent complete. already the prospects as a new energy supplier has drawn interests from european countries. a class that reports from santa we, in northern santa go, closer than it appears. one of the largest discovery of natural gas in the last 2 decades from um was and j. the fossil fuel is both a blessing and

a curse. it spells the end of a lifetime catching fish in the area for the promise of what the government says will be a prosperous future. the 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, 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 the re or

her and along to the authentic on these people. for the institute director, 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. anyone in the leadership position we want to louisville to have whenever it comes to decision making. this is project for selling on for the development of the country, and is important that we have our senegalese national, sitting on the table representing 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. nicholas hawk al jazeera, senegal,

st. louis slat for you on this news. our chem john urns heir apparent south korea's by agency reveals details of the supreme leader on mailed his daughter and in sport baseball fans in whole countries gearing up baseball classic ah now you case home secretary has set out details in parliament of a new law barring the arrival of asylum seekers on british shores, in small boats. more than $45000.00 refugees in migrants crossed the english channel from france last year. that's up 60 percent from 2021. the new law would put a duty on the government to deport any one who enters the country without authorization . they would be sent to what the government considers a safe 3rd country. a deal was recently signed with were wandered to receive some

of those who were sent away once to pause it. these people would be banned from returning to the u. k. claiming asylum, or seeking british citizenship in the future rights group. say the law violates commitments the u. k. is made in a number of human rights treaties. the united nations are saying the law amounts to an asylum ban. government is admitted. it stretches international law. charlie angela reports now from the u. k. coastal town of south c, small boats carried nearly $46000.00 migrants and refugees to british shows last year. this group made it, but dozens died in their attempt. the number of people crossing the english channel is increased by 60 percent detention centers are overflowing, and as a backlog of a 160000 people waiting for a decision on their asylum applications. government has announced a new policy to deal with the issue. we are introducing legislation to make clear

that if you come here illegally, you can't claim asylum. you can't benefit from our modern slavery protections. you can't make spurious, human rights claims, and you can't stay. we will detain those who come here illegally and then remove them in weeks, either to their own country if it is safe to do so, or to a safe 3rd country like rwanda. but the migrants and refugees in france waiting to make the crossing insist, nothing will deter them. i'm for a bird. i'm here for a little am. i'm glad they like to do my, my love, you know, besides the going to england charities who work with refugees warned stopping small boats like these will deny legitimate asylum seekers. the protection they need. it's going to lead to potentially tens of thousands of people being detained across the country for a period of time. we don't know and, and it will, you know,

push people into destitution and misery. what and it won't have any impact on the numbers of people who are forced to take dangerous journeys across the channel each year. instead, they want the government to invest more in the so called safe passage routes for refugees to reach the u. k. at the moment, it's only available for those playing ukraine, hong kong and afghanistan. though, in the 22 afghans uses path last year, we'll 8600. arrived by small boat. 65000 refugees and migrants are expected to cross the saddle for boat. in the next 10 month, according to the home office, whether this proposed policy will deter them or even encourage a fresh wave remains to be seen. what cliff is it legal and practical talented with you? that is nathan. with charlie angela al jazeera southie cassidy case a human rights lawyer and former refugee joins me live. i assume from here in london

. so is this lor, likely to act as a deterrent for those who are prepared and determined to make a very dangerous journey. i believe that the policy so is not sustainable. we saw with around the litigation under the previous home secretary bridge patel how that turned out. and only last week the government's own into internal planning . and that the 1st patient flights to run that may not happen until march 2024. so we have to bear in mind the policy of the national borders act was promulgated and april 2022. so 2 years after that was promulgated for the 1st flight to take off. that speaks volumes and the run to policy were supposed to be at the turn for people smugglers. we've seen record number of people trying to cross the channel and boats and a ship more than 45000 people in the channels more those compare that to

around 20021802020. as such, the policy at the opposite effect of what it was intended for. and i don't believe god. is it sustainable? but what is not an important point that under this new law, people would be deported to what you take government because it considers a safe fed country. and i already had this agreement with rolanda, which has been effectively bogged down. are we likely to see more legal hurdles and obstacles from that, that mean that you're going to have thousands of people in the country spending more time in detention? absolutely, most certainly is going to be challenged me on the 1st page of the bill. the homes actually confirms herself that she kind of confirmed that the provisions of the legal migration bill are compatible with the convention rights with the p. m, with a prime minister earlier today saying that years up for the fight. so that there

were, there was legal challenges that will be that will be issued on top of that the you and hcr also provided proposals to the port asylum seekers who arrive a small boat with our consider the claims are clear breach of the refugee convention and international so yes, it will be challenge, does this government where that is a set of batch in honor? i believe so that that this is where they were with patrick one and then, but as we saw with the previous government at that time, there were one plan backfired. so we, we hope that it, the same will also happen in this case, that the, that it will also say publishing this in humane, cruel, and unlawful policy. what happens if you're being caught, have human rights intervened as it did last year? well, at the moment we are part of the european court of human rights. so we had

a and then we'll get an injunction last year with was which was an intro release that we had. so in this case, a similar proceedings could be issued and similar results could be that it can happen as well. that doesn't go anywhere. so no, it will be a long and strenuous challenge legal challenges as it is with there are on going to the to a shipment or they have to invest in detention facilities or centers despite what the prime minister says. yes, b. ready simply do not have practically, we don't have the facilities at the moment to, to detain that number of people in detention centers. and as i said last week or more than 45000 people are coming or illegally. and if the proposals are indicating that all of them will be detained for 2028 days,

at least. so if that is the case, we simply do not have the facilities to hold by many people. just a quick one. what do you know about the conditions inside those facilities right now? the absolutely horrendous. ready there's been numerous inquiries are made and, and to those facilities that we saw with the nature barracks as well. so that those challenges are ongoing. that they are not fit for a sort of secrecy captain. so with their unsuitable for these people to be kept inside for at least 20 days, which is what the object. posing cassidy, thank you very much for joining us. thank you. anthony, is our life from london still? ed. you as president joe biden pushes to raise taxes for the wealthiest americans to fund federal health insurance. we're looking at cuba is crippling energy crisis

spain, notice some snow. they're cross southern parts of england and grassy get pushed further north, which across wales across solid more than other eventually pushing into the southern uplands of scotland. wet snow. i don't think it will linger for too long because it is generally a mild feed of air. still some heavy rain there which a good part of france and some where to weather, which was at east side of europe. some snow on the northern flank. keep 4 degrees celsius, plenty of sunshine across the mediterranean, looking good here. dry weather now coming in across northwestern parts of africa. lossy seeing those showers fade away, but the show is increasing across sir southern parts of west africa with more heavy downpours pushing into the gulf of guinea. ah ah, [000:00:00;00]

a a wherever you go in the world? well, my line goes to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places to go .

other countries that crazy the legal age to live is not good for the country that for the economy, for reforming the pension system was one of the french president emanuel macros campaign promises. he says that it needs to be modernized because it's too complex . cost too much money very well in the french parliament. opposition to the reform has been at times as fierce as in the streets. but the government says it won't back down who it was for loophole to put which wedding on because you've chosen outrage, you make sweeping statements, you chose blockades and obstruction. we chose debate and discussion prison. macros party doesn't have a parliamentary majority. so passing the reform won't be easy and pressure to scrap it is mounting trade. union leaders of course, for more strikes and protests. in the coming days, natasha butler, al jazeera paris, now thousands of protest as of joined

the un only received $426000000.00. less than half. what it asked for. tanveer cherry has this update now from cox's bizarre more than a 1000000 drawing refugees in cox's bazaar depend on food and other rations provided by the un and other agencies. the health has been vital for many here, like allowing me and his family members. but he is now worried about a recent cut to rations at a time when help is needed the most motional because of the new rationing. we can't get all the food items like we used to want to know how it is now going to be difficult to manage so little. it's not just the cuts to a that warning, the rowing a community people, olivia fires, incidents of violence are becoming increasingly frequent in the large file of some they destroyed the make shipped home. so more than 12000 people, a mother after fame, the fire, we came back to rebuild our home. right now our relatives are bringing us some hot

extra to formal education or any hope of returning home anytime soon. many are flying the camp for countries like alicia seeking a better life. this often involves a dangerous and often federal journey with the help of human smugglers. 6 years on the growing a refugee crisis is showing no sign of whining down the repatriation process is nowhere inside. and a man has ran out more than 1000000 refugees that bangladesh is hosting is becoming increasingly complex and challenging. rundridge audrey, i'll just 0 ball cali to a for us citizens who kidnapped in mexico on friday have been confirmed dead. while the other 2 have been released before traveling in a car with us registration plates and they came on the fire shortly after entering the city of mat lorris. to day we learned the very sad news. the mexican state and federal authorities were covered for us citizens kidnapped on march 3rd and matamoros,

mexico to us citizens were returned to the united states. the bodies of 2 other u. s. citizens killed in the same incident were also recovered. we're providing all appropriate assistance to them and their families. we extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased. oh, i did, or is money rapidly joins me now from mexico city. has any more information come to light money about what these 4 american chairs were doing in this part of mexico and how this kidnapping took place? marian, the stories developed quite quickly throughout the course of the day on tuesday, early during his morning press conference, mexico's president was joined over the phone by the governor of demo leap. us who confirmed that 2 of those 4 americans work were killed in this international incident. involving kidnappers in the state of demo leap, i was,
