6:07 pm
although it's not very new. use it yet. ok. the currently the tank ok when they one play to somebody. but the over all picture is the environment. not only by the, i mean by that you got a lot of that we have seen in water when 240 cars will then buy settlers and 40 houses live, put on fire under the supervision and observation of the army. and without the bank, the stuff because it is on the policy number, but it, you know, that anyone can bypass it makes more sense. it's a serious violation of human rights. and so see that's an issue of that. i was people to be, to be about it in a dignified manner. rebecca stands for

a prime minister, iran con, have called off a plan. the election rally after his supporters were arrested for defying a ban on public gatherings. there were confrontations with police officers, a head of cons, planned election rally in the hor, just hours before the events authorities impose the ban on all demonstrations for a week of so you should stop this protest because i feel the government will take this. i think skews to stop the elections from going ahead. they are trying to create a law in order to tuition and that is why i'm asking the supporters said, you must stop the deli today. you're calling it off. that's bringing our correspondent, come, i'll hide or he joins us from le hor, where the rally was scheduled to take place. let's start with that and the band. why. how come there was a band imposed by a lot of bad just hours before this rally was supposed to take place? was that did indeed an interesting question, because them,
6:09 pm
ron kon denounced on sunday that he would be kick starting at the election band. with that, riley here in the city of the hall, they were due to drive about fixture law from the red, and it was going to be a very riley, red sub borders coming in from across the city to join. and that particular riley. however, the government and board the new fiction after that the. busy door and off all day accept road leading to them on the far, which is where everyone can read it didn't says. and then after that there started to you and what again and here guys and back drawn the, the gadget gum there. the border of him, ron call, now we are doors there, at least one of the borders was also 100 wounded and 100 jo,
6:10 pm
fridays were made by the police. and what many consider to be unnecessary. given the fact that ron han had said that they were acting within the ambit of the constitution. and i did demo grad date override, given the fact that budget don's election for the prevention and 70 of the pun, job robin's rigid when we all are due to take place on the 3rd year of april. and so this one's the beginning of a campaigning for that particular election and things up, gosh, turning oddly because it's the border for bass back to read the police head and run out bending stones. read them to police. then we're fighting. thea guy shows and using batt dawned to dispatch the crowd come on, give us the wider context around this because iran con has been involved in this long running power. struggle with the government, with islam about pretty much says he was ousted as prime minister last year.
6:11 pm
absolutely after that of no gone present, then a bred a rent on the city of riley must gardner support across the country. and november he came under natasha nation, a damned and richie board and wounded. but despite dad were de better to carry on, had long march reduced edward gotta manage. and mamma bought a then called off on march because they did not worn more violent. i knew you were bidding that they would need to a lawyer in order situation. now it needed that been warning that the government was looking for an excuse to pro support into some sort of action re by the government would then be able to get an excuse to delayed or the election because the government had been shying away from the election despite the fact that enron con government, the provincial government and up on job and the high but booked on why had remained,
6:12 pm
they were dogged up god. which of god meant that the election road after take less than 90 days. but the ruling all 4 digit and then started dragging on speed on that particular issue. they wanted or delayed the election, given the fact that iran had begun hugely popular already. many of the bi election rich opposition was hoping to win so that they will get the necessary majority in parliament or indeed precarious situation. political uncertainty at the time or the country and also going through all make christ. come on, hide a reporting, live from the hor, thank you for all that context and there's plenty more head on the news hour, including this more anger in georgia against the proposed law. the people say will silence critics and the press also find out why millions of people in south sedan, especially women, are finding it difficult to make a living. and in sports,
6:13 pm
the world's biggest cricket ground, india and australia get ready to perform in front of a record breaking test crowd. ah, and tens of thousands of people are protesting across greece after the nations worse trained disaster. a police fired tear gas and flashbanc grenades to disperse large crowds in the capital, athens, civil servants, doctors, teachers, and transport workers have walked off the job to show their anger what they say is the crumbling state of the rail network. protesters are questioning why the government failed to pursue safety reforms. give me a shoot him, a doctor's keeping my low moon, and very angry, and not just with some one in particular, with every one that should never have happened. every one should be held accountable from the lowest to the highest. even i am responsible that i didn't
6:14 pm
react, said this would never happen often over you know that both of them of humbleness fit the normal. of course i am angry. how could i not be? it's not just the accident, it's everything else as well as a lot of things have been building up. so people have really reached their limits. are you going to be by human? it's logical that that would be anger within society. but i believe during these moments, silence is the best option. mr. john saragossa is in athens covering all this forest john, the government is under intense pressure. we saw that to make trains safer in the country. how are they addressing that cyril? that's right. we heard the transport minister say earlier today that the railway system has been in a state of long term decline for years now, mainly due to lack of investment and maintenance. and that's partly due to greece's austerity measures from 2010 to 2018. but he said that this is now going to be addressed. there's going to be an increase this year in the budget for new and
6:15 pm
infrastructure from $48000000.00 to $80000000.00. there's going to be a hiring of station masters so that there are always 2 at every station. whenever there's a train arrival or departure. and there's going to be a fulfillment of a 2014 contract was which was meant to have installed automated safety systems, such as automatic tracking of trains. so that you have a nationwide picture from a central control center of exactly where each train is. and which way it's headed and how fast automatic signaling and automatic braking force trains to stop when they pass a danger point. when the system judges that they shouldn't proceed, that would have saved the lives of possibly more than a 100 people on february 28th. if it had been in place in the neighbourhood of larissa, and they're also going to do more to prevent sabotaged on the tracks because there's
6:16 pm
a long standing tradition of people. we don't know who stealing wire for the copper and with the copper why they've been cutting the fiber optic cable that runs these telemetry systems. so all of these are going to be done. we're told this contract for safety equipment will be fulfilled by the end of the year. john, the anger we're seeing in the streets to day. and since that the train crash, i should say goes beyond just the rail system, doesn't it? it does. indeed. we've spoken to a number of people who are here for other reasons, but you know, the cup float over with this is this incident. there are actors and artists whose university degrees because they are not 4 year degrees would downgraded to high school diplomas. earlier this year and they are incredulous at the fact that they are no longer considered to have a tertiary education. there are teachers who are protesting against evaluation,
6:17 pm
which the government has been trying to bring in to the public schools for years. and there are other sectors of the economy and such as railway workers who want more hires to take place in their state sector companies so that they're not doing double and triple jobs. we heard from railway workers today who said that they are doubling up for people whose jobs have been eliminated. the hellenic railways organization is meant to have more than 2000 workers on paper. in fact, they say there are a little more than 700. so all of these people were here, mainly for economic reasons. the, the greek economy has been struggling to recover from it's long decline. remember, it was in recession for 8 years, beginning in 2010. and then came the pandemic. and now high inflation, because of energy prices during the ukraine war, and it just hasn't had
6:18 pm
a chance to rebound, to achieve growth that will build up jobs again and better paying jobs and we have now, all of these are reasons why people are unhappy at john saragossa las reporting from athens. thank you very much. ah, ukrainian authorities have denied any involvement in the blasts of the nord stream pipelines last year. nato secretary general in stoughton berg says it's still unclear what happened is, comes in response to reports in american and german media that us intelligence has found, a pro ukrainian group was responsible for the sabotage criminal spokesman dmitri prescott has dismissed the report saying the conclusions were reached quote, without investigation, the natural gas pipelines link, russia to western europe, germany, sweden and denmark are carrying out investigations at the investigation by german
6:19 pm
media outlets. reports that a group of saboteurs set sail in a yacht from the northern german town of rostock 3 weeks before the explosions. it says the vessel was rented out by a ukrainian owned company. it stopped at another german port before being traced to the tiny danish island of christian, so close to the location of the explosions and the leeks. a russian mercenaries say they have taken control of the eastern part of bahamas. as the battle for the ukrainian city grinds on, its not strategically significant, but it has gained symbolic importance for both sides. bernard smith has the latest . there isn't much left of back much to fight for, but ukraine and russia continue to throw soldiers and materiel into one of the bloodiest battles of the war in ukraine. the head of russia's wagner mercenary group, says his forces have taken control of the eastern part of the city. but there is in issue a garage here, a very live fuel was george new jersey bought more,
6:20 pm
the sure for was louis ye, ye welcome would go baldness to knock williams about gun royal. she would go wagner . just as we're going to, we discussed on a video released on wednesday, if gainey parisian is shown talking to wagner mercenaries who are complaining, they're running out of ammunition magnified as i've been leading the russian campaign to see. but not christian has accused russia's defense minister, sir. gay, chicago of treason, the withholding supplies of munitions to his fighters. munitions are in short, supply to for ukraine's forces. you defense ministers have been meeting to discuss a plan for the member states to pull resources to buy ammunition. nato secretary general says back what may fall to russia in the coming day? this does sir, or not, sir, necessarily, reflect any are turning point of the war on them and her and
6:21 pm
the, it just highlights that we should not under estimate a russia. ah, we must continue to provide support to ukraine. the whole thing ukraine's military release, the video of a commander visiting troops in back mart, alexander c, ascii, tells them, and they're in the hottest spot back marty's of little strategic value for both ukrainian military and wagner mercenaries have said that using this battle to deplete and divert the addresses resources from elsewhere along the front line. bernard smith, al jazeera, now thousands of people have gathered near the parliament building and the georgian capital leafy, protesting against the proposed law that they say will silence critics and the press. the government insists the bill is aimed at curbing the influence of what it calls foreign agents. the protesters believe the bill could hamper georgia plans to join the you and align with russia. joining me now to speak more about this is
6:22 pm
captured the noise that she's a member of the georgia parliament and a former minister of education and science. she speaks to us from the lisi. thank you for joining us, your, your, against the law start by explaining to us why, what is the threat in your view of registering groups that receive foreign funding? yeah, because it is conceptually a russian law because i'm in puts in adopted this law in 2012 in russia when he decided that he wants to suppress everybody who works and then just lecture or sell society. so and gradually step by step, i mean, it was the silence from the civil society and georgia has very vibrant society. we have a lot of jo helping people, george and citizens. we have vibrant civil society helping, strengthening georgia and democracy will applaud and afraid to do sure, a democracy just farmers, ordinary citizens, schools the education system. and they got,
6:23 pm
they get called from the technical system from the european union, united states, u. n. d, p one, et cetera. and so that's why i mean, all the girls initially and informal ruler of georgia, he pays everybody with against him. so that's why i mean, he decided he decided to suppress everybody. civil society and joe's opposition. and also the number one issue for georgia right now is to get candy. this is fed just, but unfortunately our friends and for partners, i mean, had been saying to georgia government that, that if you adopt the washington laws, if you decide to register everybody in the civil society as a foreign agents. so i'm a little bit of a huge obstacle for georgia to become a member of european union. they never and 85 percent of georgia supreme according to the pulse. so that's why we're, we're opposing this load very long time. and there were
6:24 pm
a lot of hearings in the communities and yesterday, despite the term, despite yes, sure why the majority of lawmakers in parliament in favor of this law? because georgia dream. i mean this is a party founded by eventually and supported by team. i mean, they're the majority and that's why they decided to fulfill his will and his wish. so, and despite the, you know, like a warning from our partners. but this law can be dealt tickled to european union. i'm personally, i mean this law is russian law and the russian style law, and this is against georgia democracy. but i'm curious in your conversations with lawmakers, those who are in favor of the law when the cameras are off, when you're in the parliament building and you're just speaking to them. i mean, i imagine there are moments when that happens. what do they say to you?
6:25 pm
nothing, i mean they were, they had this very strange argument that the boys about transparency and they have the strange argument that they don't want to register everybody before a judge and sunday it's not against the civil society, but also they have this argument that the while i mean, this is a for us hearing then after the 1st period we will send it to the vendors commission and after everybody's commission will have the 2nd the 3rd hearing. because i mean these law can be the can be the real law. after the 3rd hearing, but unfortunately, i mean despite their warnings as i have, but from us on the see, i knew as somebody said they, they made the statement yesterday in the calling the, you know, yesterday cheering and the session of the dark because they, in georgia and democracy, despite the common wording from european union, i mean mr. barrage that they found the ability to pitiable with the european son.
6:26 pm
i think we just, i think we just lost the audio here on katya katya. did it get that noise? a member of the georgian parliament was just joining us now. a special panel formed by us house republicans is holding its 1st hearing into the origins of coven 19. this is the select subcommittee on the corona virus pandemic. and it will investigate where the virus came from. first hearing comes just days before the 3rd anniversary of the world health organization, declaring corona virus, a pandemic. back in 2020 more than 7000000 people worldwide have died. heidi show castro joins us live from washington. d. c. heidi, 3 years, 3 years to start investigating how the pandemic broke out. why did it take this long? ah, well, cyril republicans who have just taken over the house and congress, they're saying it's taken 3 years to launch this investigation because they now
6:27 pm
have a committee that expressly states its mission. is to do this. however, democrats who control the house prior to this, i would say that there have been other related investigations that are ongoing. and of course, there's the intelligence community investigation which has just further added to the debate after the energy department recently concluded with low confidence that the virus likely accidentally xscape from a chinese lab, the director of the f. b. i has said that his agency has moderate confidence of the same, but we're seeing a divided intelligence community and that were other agencies as well as the national intelligence council. i concluded that it was more likely a natural occurrence of the virus, jumped from an animal to a human that also with low confidence. so what that all boils down to is no one really knows where this virus came from within the united states intelligence agencies and the congress here. and that's why they're trying to find they're
6:28 pm
trying to ask these hard questions. okay, so how do we find the answers to the hard questions? i mean, how's it all gonna work? what sources documents witnesses will we have access to? well, here on capitol hill, the likely answer to that is they may never know what the origin wasn't. they have alluded to that as this hearing is ongoing today, several of the witnesses. the problem is, there's only circumstantial evidence as, as of this point for both schools of thought that it came from a lab or that it came from nature for those who believe that this virus emerged from the chinese lab. the missing evidence is what precursor viruses were in development. the lab and the chinese government says that there wasn't and biologists in the us have pointed to the lack of evidence that there was a precursor virus. and for those who believe that the virus came from the wild. well, the chinese government has said that it has tested more than
6:29 pm
a $100000.00 animals in the region of hon and not found this viral genome in any of them. and witnesses today have pointed to the chinese government's interest in improving if it is, in fact, came from a, from a wild animal. and that it certainly has a lot that is certainly has reason to further that investigation. so with all this missing evidence, it is unlikely that on capitol hill, this question will be answered. however, their course is that us intelligence investigation that is ongoing, it is classified, but perhaps with clandestine means or otherwise. eventually there may be answers down the road or maybe never will be answered. all right, thanks for that heidi reporting live from washington d. c. thank you very much. good luck and have fun that those are not well wishes for heidi. that's the mission of an american company. breaking down, breaking new ground and space exploration. relativity. space is launching the
6:30 pm
world's 1st 3 be printed rocket into space later on wednesday at florida's cape canaveral, stephanie decker report. it's a historic 1st looking to the future and worthy of space. so 85 percent of the rocket by maps sitting on the bad right now is 3. you printed up but no, the rocket prior to this was the highest percent interest. probably. i don't know. maybe 4 percent 30 printed by mass, so it's a huge step change. and, you know, as, as such, we need to prove that a 3 d printer rocket can survive the environments of a rocket flight. the company says it's 3 d version is cheaper and quicker to produce than conventional rockets you. $33.00 and a half meters long and nearly 2 and a half meters wide. the rocket has arrived at the launch pad in florida. cape canaveral. the mission has been named. good luck have fun and essentially will test whether the 3 d printed rocket can reach and survive or bit
6:31 pm
a global 1st. so far everything is looking great. the, the team has, you know, has gone through the major reviews that they need to as the, as we had and to launch the, the weather outlook is looking quite positive. if successful it could in future provide a launch vehicle for commercial satellites. the much anticipated lift off will take place on wednesday at $1800.00 g m t. that's one p. m, florida time. potentially marking a new era in 3 d printing and space travel. stephanie decker, i'll g 0 and still head on l 0. we are in malaysia as people try to recover from the latest flooding in the south of the country. also a rock running dry will explain why there's a water shortage in a country with 2 major rivers. and who let the dog out in a football match. we interrupted by this pitch invading who that's coming up in

6:35 pm
were watching al jazeera reminder of our headlines this, our hundreds of people have gathered in mourning and protest in the occupied west bank after 6 palestinians were killed in, arrayed by his really forces is really soldiers wiley's violently storm to the janine refugee camp on tuesday. tens of thousands of people are protesting across greece, over the nations worse trained disaster, civil servants, doctors, teachers, and transport workers have walked off the job to show their anger over the crumbling state of the rail network. and supporters of pakistan's ousted prime minister, a moron, con, have been arrested in la for just hours before cons. election, rally authorities imposed a ban on all large gatherings leading to confrontations with police officers. one person died in the violence while staying on this. let's bring in jazz gore from his la bad. he's the executive director of the center for research and security studies. they're into us. it's conspicuous that the government benz gatherings just
6:36 pm
before him, ron con, brings his supporters to the street. how do you interpret the timing of this? well, this is dina, due to a response i would say to an election valley that im ron hahn wanted to talk just because the election is due on the 30th of april. and the indications from islamabad by the federal government are not big noble. i would say just because the, the, all the indicators suggest that the federal government wants to deliver those elections under one pretest or the other. that's why there was this massive deployment of police which went about with data charge, where the tear gas sharing with water cannons and tried to prevent even the p t i the box that he can solve for what their cars, windows given screens were broken, glass was broken,
6:37 pm
so lakers getting workers as well as people themselves were attacked, a lot of them have been injured. so it has been an unnecessary but very brutal attack on protesters who just also came out and in connection with the march or the, the women's international day. you mentioned the election is in april, these are provincial elections in punjab and in k p province, chiropractor, corps. the key thing here and correct me if i'm wrong, is that enron cons party is poised to do very well in those elections. well this is what even a gallop poll suggested, however, manipulated that gallop or maybe which was released yesterday in that iran han stance. 20 points above everybody else. it says that he one percent funded by or nevada and shot bassetti if we're running around 30 to 34 percent followed by
6:38 pm
the former president asked if it is that that a distributor would seem suspect if one were to view the discipline of the former prime minister, the former president in various service. so there is no doubt at the moment. however, whether that should right or wrong that iran, hon. the former prime minister, is being hounded. this being hunted. but every moral, basically is only adding to the popularity of the former prime minister. so currently, enron can speeches cannot be allowed by law to be broadcast by pakistani television networks. he cannot gather his people for political rallies. how is he going to continue his campaign or even start his campaign? one, that is another downside. also the kind of democracy we are living in. this is a people democratic movement. it is called rich from the government, but it has bind. and ron kon, from live or recorded god,
6:39 pm
cause he cannot delegate speech. the press conference is that all the black, 2 television channels have been banned just because they started the government authority. but the iran hon phenomena, i think, will be very difficult to be to such a person measures does because of millions of people have access to the internet. millions of people have mobile phone demand. and iran hahn is using the social media platforms as well, just to relay a message. and this is what is i think up the federal government. and that's why they, we can see all these delaying tactics that's put as timely. legal selection is concerned where they've been instruction by the supreme court to actions within the stipulated 90 days. now only 50 days left for the punjab. i'm booked on this
6:40 pm
emily's and we still are not sure whether despite the release of the schedule for the punjab elections or at least what are those elections will be handled in times if we look at the the crackdown today we, we should really check this the acceptance up ordering of elections with a big pinch of salt. i am charles gould, speaking from a lot of that. thank you very much and transport then sanitation workers in france, a striking for a 2nd day against proposed pension reforms. anger has continued to grow at the president's plan to raise the retirement age from $60.00 to $64.00. but many women say these reformers will impact their rights. natasha butler has more comparison by many when say the reforms will be the kiki upsides women. because some of the years that they take to have children or look off to children with the county in their full pension towards the end of their life when they are saying as extremely unfair
6:41 pm
