2 political factions played out in the streets of nablus on wednesday. ah, the palestinian authority security forces attacked mourners in the funeral procession of hamas gunmen, listed in officials say some participants violated arrangements that were agreed before the funeral. but many here believes that palestinian authority does not want him as to have a strong presence in the occupied westman, mischievous. and the judge not only is he, his railey army worried about the fight is uniting palestinians who have personal interests. so worried about the units in geneva being coffee in other places. before he was killed gunman, i've been fat to who she was taking refuge in jeanene, a hub for the armed resistance to his rails occupation. here in jeanine, a different fixture. not only do palestinians fight side by side, but gunman provide support to one another even when they belong to different palestine infractions and come from different cities. fighters tele,

just either the internal palestinian division only serves it out of benefit israel . we are the bonham and for the leaderships far away from the palestinian struggle for a long time, the palestinian authority wants to curb the resistance and we're against that. the other amy is one of 6 palestinians, israeli forces killed during the day in june on tuesday. he was a member of the palestinian security forces before he took up arms and joined other fighters and jean engleside walketh in law. colors now is the time for us to take up arms. the young people have much more awareness and they say we have to resist lab. we can't stay silent against the israeli aggression, will eat the home for palestinians. it's been a cycle of grief, anger, and mourning united in pain. and now they say the fight need abraham elijah's eda, the occupied west bank?

emma stuff about gritty is the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative. and he says the israeli rate on jeanine was a big escalation. but not that unusual. tackling janine was vicious and against william houses during which they used to look up on their use. okay. it's a very good condition, although it's not very new. use it. it had ok. the currently the tank ok when there was somebody but the over all the picture in the environment, not only by the i mean, but when you get a lot of that we have water. when $240.00 cars will then buy settlers and 40 houses live, put on fire under the supervision and observation of the army and

without the bank. because this is our next step. but it sounds good to me and can bypass it makes more sense. it's a serious violation of human rights and so see that's an issue of that i will of people to be, to be buried in the fight manner. pakistan, former prime minister m ron con, has criticized the federal government's decision to ban public gatherings, which forced him to call off an election rally. there were confrontations between his supporters and the police ahead of time planned election rally in the hor, one person was killed in the violence. dozens of pakistan to hurricane suff party were arrested just hours before the events authorities and post about all demonstrations for a week. but i was, was yours, come all hide or has been following the developments from the horse all wood before

enron on the leader of the buggers gone. teddy can solve for you to get golf camp and the 1st and the beginning of the election campaign which is due on the 3rd year of april. all access are all still residents have been robbed by shipping container . thousands of police have been blocking all that. you're all good, they've been gone for where did party supporters the need using a water cannon? they're also great. get guys shares are going to be interesting to see what happens next. right now. the police ported out on red alert. they have better gauges several road which i've gotten also guarding. buick rob loan ball commute. and this is a country richard in the midst of a grave economic right. therefore it can least afford more political uncertainty. come on like that, i'll get it off the hall. will, earlier i spoke to him, ron kon,

about his rally being cancelled today. and this is what he told me, or the supreme court asked the president of august than to fix an election date. that date was as fixed for the 30th of april. so that which means 50 days left. so my body decided to an election open our election campaign by a rally in law to day. the police had given us permission that approved the route of the of the the rally. and suddenly this morning the permission was taken away, but not just taken away. we had these heavy contingents of belize and these are people coming to attend a peaceful rally. we're hit birth. ah, dear girl shows we're water gannon with some chemical in it, which people are still recovering from. how do you interpret what you're describing as this, this government, back and forth on the rules about holding a rally? the issue is that the government, the all the and 12 parties said

a good government and their backers, the petrified of elections. because so far in the last 8 months, out of the 37 by elections, my party has won 30 out of them. some might answer that while the government is perhaps afraid of the upcoming elections. you are also afraid of complying with judicial rules. and police did show up at your house in the hor, on the a few days ago. to arrest you to compel you to show up in court and you evaded arrest and were let me tell you something so far. there 76 cases against me. i am charged for dead arisen judge for blasphemy. judge for sedition, or in the 77 cases. and these cases have been made in the last few months. so i have been going from one courtroom to the other. what happened was when i was shot, were this assassination attempt on me for 4 months on my leg wasn't i had 3 bullets

on my leg so i couldn't go out of my house. there are provincial elections, as you mentioned in april and then national elections later this year. if they both go ahead is scheduled. can you legitimately run in national elections? if, as you say, there are 70 plus cases currently pending against you, all the cases, i'm afraid of frivolous. whenever they go into a court of law, these cases will be dismissed. i imagine, i just give you an example. there's a terrorism i'm supposed to have come into, sir, sorry to interrupt. what is the case and if that's why was and that's why you believe, why don't you show up in court? because i couldn't sure been god, there were reasons why i had i was injured. so for a lot of dying, mike, for 4 months i was better house. reuben, i couldn't really, my leg wasn't the doctors would not allow me to travel and the nude but before that i wasn't attending on court cases. right. and just for our viewers,

i want to make clear that they deny that including the prime minister, who said he has nothing to do with the or with the shooting against you late last year. how do you see the rest of this year playing out for you with these 2 elections coming up? well, you know, the, the biggest concern right now for my political party is or to protect me because there's a severe that there's a serious threat to my life. and the reason is, i repeat that these people said again, power, petrified, of losing the elections, which there will, which is why they don't want elections. ah, tens of thousands of people have been protesting across greece after the nations worse trained disaster. ah, police fire tear gas and flash bang grenades to disperse large crowds in the

capital, athens, civil servants, doctors, teachers, and transport workers of walked off the job to show their anger what they say is the crumbling state of the rail network. protesters of questioning why the government failed to pursue safety reforms. jamal is working with dr. steven malone and very angry and not just with someone in particular with every one that should never have happened. everyone should be held accountable from the lowest to the highest. even i'm responsible that i didn't react, said this would never happen often over you know that both of them will miss you to know them. 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 limit. are you going to be by human? it's logical that that would be angle within society. but i believe during these moments, silence is the best option mercer a jumps horrible us has more on this. we heard that this government has inherited

a situation in which only 1818 percent of the railway network had been installed with automated safety systems. that could have prevented the february 28th train collision. and during the tenure of the last 3 and a half years of this government, that percentage has risen to 7070 percent. and that they are trying to fulfill the contract by the end of the year that our expedite the process. and the prime minister spoke personally with the chairman of al storm and france, which is providing this equipment to try and accelerate the delivery rate. but the fact is that the voice of the accident, the local systems, in lara's the station where the train left from were an operation and would able to station most to see that the train had left the station northbound on the cell phone. so evidently that system wasn't being consulted and that raises questions

about the extent to which railway personnel had been trained on the system and were heating the system. tragically, the larissa equipment was isolated because of the network problems from the rest of the country. so nobody else could see what the station master could have seen if he cared to see it. us more coming up on the news, our, including the battle back with ukrainian soldiers push ahead against russian mercenaries who warned that they cannot win. in sports, the world's biggest cricket ground, india and australia get ready to perform in front of a record breaking test crowd. there have been new reports about the possible involvement of the pro ukrainian group in the attack on russia's nord stream gas pipelines last year. german media, se western investigators believe a 6 person team launched from germany planted the explosives. harry faucet reports

the gas leak ended months ago, but the answers as to who carried out the attacks on the nord stream pipelines may at last be surfacing reports in the u. s, and now the german media suggest an anti russian government group based in ukraine, was responsible. according to the german reporting, 6 people all carrying forged passports voted a rented yard at a german port of rostock, on the 6th of september. last year the yacht sailed up the coast to the town of v come das. and on the tiny, danish island of christiane, so close to the explosions that hit the pipelines on the 27th of september. almost immediately, western nations suggested rush, it might have sabotaged its own pipelines to create further chaos in europe's energy markets. russia accused the united states of being behind it to remove russian economic leverage over germany. a theory endorsed last month in a report by the investigative journalist, seymour hersh. now, these revelations becoming a major topic of discussion at wednesdays,

european union defense ministers, summit in sweden. there are ongoing national investigations and i think it's right to wait until those are finalized before we sent him or about who was behind. that has been the line from western nations since the attack last september, somehow suggest it was a deliberate one to shield keith as it sought more weaponry from germany, the country, from where without its knowledge, the attack was reportedly launched. kennedy released what he says or shall i know the reports about this investigation. i read thought with great interest, and we have to distinguish clearly yes, whether it was a ukrainian group. so it could have been on ukrainian behalf or a pro ukrainian juan without the knowledge of the government. but i caution against jumping to conclusions. the story is also said it could have been a russian full slag operation. ukraine continues to deny involvement. for me, it's a little bit strange story because it's not, it's the story of the nothing with us. and i think the investigation of official

authorities will describe every detail because it's like a complement for our special forces. but this is not our activity. if this attack can be proven to have been the work of a pro ukrainian group even if not ukrainian state, that could still prove tricky for a german government needing to bolster falling public support for military backing of ukraine. these latest lakes at emerged well after germany pledged advanced air defense and tanks to cave. hurry, full sit al jazeera russian mercenaries say they have taken control of the eastern part of bar moot as the battle for the cranial city grinds on. its not strategically significant, but it have gained symbolic importance to both sides. bernard smith has the latest on that. there isn't much left of back not to fight for, but ukraine and russia continued 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. we have a very live you was originally just bought more the sure for was through it needed you welcome would go baldness still not with the but control him. she was gonna see just that with the in a video released on wednesday. if gainey push again, is shown talking to wagner mercenaries who are complaining, they're running out of ammunition. wagner fighters had been leading the russian campaign to seize back mart, bridge again, as 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 days?

this does sir, or not, sir, necessarily reflect any, a turning point of the war on them and her and the, it just highlights that we should not under estimate or russia, ah, we must continue to provide support to ukraine. oh, cool thing. ukraine's military release the video of a commander visiting troops in back mot. alexander c ascii tells the men there in the hottest spot faculties of little strategic value for both ukrainian military and wagner mercenaries have said that using this battle to deplete and divert the address is resources from elsewhere along the front line. bernard smith, al jazeera, thousands of people have gathered near the parliament building in the georgia capital police, the protesting against the proposed law that they say will silence critics and the

press. the government and the bill is aimed at curbing the influence of what it calls foreign agents processes to leave the building hampered georgia plans to join you in the line it with russia can noises. and ga n p. and she outlined why she opposes the so called foreign influence law. it is conceptually irrational law because i'm in fruits and adopted this law in 2012 in russia when he decided that thank you, wants to suppress everybody who works. and then just lecture civil society, so and gradually step by step. i mean, it was the silent from the civil society and georgia has very vibrancy society. we have a lot of healthy people, george, and that is that we have absolutely no vibrant civil society helping friends in georgia, democracy, rule of law and afraid judiciary, democracy just the farmers, ordinary citizens, calls the education system and they got,

they get calls from the technical system from european union, united states un dp land, et cetera. and so that's why i mean, older he been the truly for his informal ruler of georgia. he pays everybody against him. so that's why i mean, he decided he's decided to suppress everybody. civil society and joe's opposition and also the number one issue for georgia right now is to get candidacy status. but unfortunately, our brenson for partners, i mean, had been saying to georgia government that, that if you adopted washington law, if you decide to reduce or everybody in the civil society as a foreign agents. so, i mean, it will be the huge obstacle for georgia to become a member of european union in france to some workers continued to strike for a 2nd day over the french government's plans to reform the pension system and raised the retirement age by 2 years up to 64 trade union leaders savvy bills,

jazeera paris. ah, agencies say the humanitarian response in northwest syria, the february's 2 devastating earthquakes has been inadequate, and they blame it on the lack of funding to meet the needs of people who are already struggling after 12 years of war. say no, hoarder reports on this is going to go he time has done little to heal the wounds. the earthquakes that devastated war ravaged towns and cities and syria have robbed it's people of what little they had left. the challenges ahead involve rebuilding what was destroyed. hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless in both government and rebel held territories. while worsening. the displacement crisis and the opposition controlled northwest enclave was so me hung with people

with choice to live in. the area is what i see over trousers with more immediate people. condition the needs are great in the region where 4000000 people were dependent on aid before the natural disaster. but aid agencies say help has been slow and adequate. they blamed this partly on the lack of funding without which the ability to respond will be limited. we cannot skate to the level of needs, mostly because we lack funding. and because also coordination structures that we're responding to, not with cd before being in turkey and most of them have been all selected. earthly syria was already among the most underfunded humanitarian crises in the world. and so far less than half of the $400000000.00 requested by the un to deal with the

immediate needs from the disaster has been funded. but it's not the only problem. a coordinated effort is needed in a largely isolated region which lacks the capacity and resources to face its latest catastrophe. all the while access to northwest syria depends on a political decision by the syrian government. biggest thing is predictable access . we saw the addition of 2 border crossings for you and 8. access was a good start. but at the 3 month window that you know they're operating off of is wholly insufficient, the skill to humanitarian response and to northwest syria. furthermore, is the 2nd piece, which is that we need a principle not political response. an unconscionable failure is how some aid workers described the international response in syria so far for those who survived . the recovery from the aftermath of this disaster has yet to start setting whether i should ego emergency teams have rescued. 3 people trapped in

virus may have come from a lab, but no smoking gun. and we have learned of the list. so circumstantial evidence that the virus came from nature jumping to humans, and yet no smoking gun. that leaves us still with these 2 varying theories that are competing with each other. and this hearing has not changed that on moved are in the understanding any further. now, the intelligence agencies in the u. s. are also split on this question. the u. s. energy department, as well as the f b i saying that they have low to moderate confidence that the virus came from a lab and on china, while the of for other u. s. intelligence agencies and the u. s. intelligence counsels saying that they believe with low confidence that the virus came from nature. now what was the consensus is from all the witnesses we heard from today from the intelligence department? is that to get to the true answer to solve this mystery?

those would have to come from china and they're ivan, plenty of issues trying to get access and transparency out of the chinese government as bringing marian cubans from rotterdam on this, she is the head of virus sirens department at erasmus medical center. you were also part of the world health organization team, the travel to woo hahn in the early stages of the pandemic to investigate the beginnings of the corona virus. now you heard our report, they are saying that the true answer is probably in china. your, your take on that well, it's clear that if you want to fully understand what happened in the 1st 2 weeks of been direct, you do need to be able to dig down from the place where the 1st cases were found. and that was in hon. china and yes, so in our mission, what we did is we looked at all the early evidence to studies that had been done

a series of additional studies that we had requested and be listed a number of follow up study that we would like to see happen and but that, unfortunately, that, that process stoled, so your mission at the time concluded that the most likely explanation for cove, it was the zoo and not it right. the human to, sorry, i beg your, pardon, the animal to human transmission. not the lab league one, the one the idea that it came from a bat, probably in a wet market in one how confident are you in that conclusion? well there's no 100 percent guarantee there and that's, that's really the case in science. but based on the evidence so far, i am still very much more leaning with the not to introduction hypothesis. maybe not directly as you mentioned a bet on the market. but the introduction from a bad media and other maybe wild animal that was sold or would shut on the market.

that's my most favorite hypothesis based on the cook cumulative data that is out there is a 100 percent. sure, no, it is not. and that's why so you, so you would really need additional studies if there is such a thing as several certainty. and you know, our reporter was laying out the various u. s. intelligence agencies came to, to different conclusions. you have the f, b i and the department of energy on the one hand, they say, well actually for us, the needle points towards the lab leak theory. in other words, this virus was man made and it escaped out of a laboratory and you have other u. s. intelligence agencies that say, well for us actually, we do think it is animal to human transmission. both sides, by the way, have a low confidence in their own conclusions. what do you, what do you make of that, that the needle points in different directions for different agencies?

well i, i think i'm assuming that they are both have the same access to the same information . so what i can if li, conclude from that is that maybe maybe the evidence is not that strong. and this, this is exactly the problem. so you have to work with pieces of information that add up to a picture where, depending on hey, you said, you may say yes i'm, i'm more convinced towards the zonati disease or introduction versus the lat league in the point is that you did what is mentioned in that report and is both are possible, but the real question is, what is most probable? because that's where you start to look at where does the, the information that we have now add up to. and in my view, this much more evidence for those who not take introduction. we know the viruses

are closely related to bet viruses. we know there's a history of treatment introduction of wild animals, including animals that are susceptible. we know there was a lot of fires present in the environment in the corner of the market where animals for a kept and sold. and there is several examples in the bass of spill over from, for on of ours, from animals to human. so that's the combined evidence there, and there is on the left side. well, there's this mention of some classified evidence that but that, that is very difficult to put in this balance. all right, marian coupon, speaking to us from rather than thank you so much. a good luck and have fun. that's the mission of an american company. breaking new ground in space exploration. let's take

a look at life. pictures of terran won the world's 1st 3 d printed rocket. currently on the launch pad. being launched by american company relativity. space. this is in cape canaveral, florida, rock, it is expected to blast off in 24 minutes. if this is accurate and we will endeavor to show you that if and when it happens. no, stephanie decker explains what makes this space venture unique. it's a historic 1st looking to the future and worthy of space. so 85 percent of the rocket by maps sitting on the pad right now. it's 3. you printed up, but no, the rocket prior to this is 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 such, we need to prove that a 3 d printed 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 a global 1st. so far everything is looking great. the team has, you know, has gone through the major reviews that they need to as of the, as we had and to launch. if successful it could in future provide a launch vehicle for commercial satellites. potentially marking a new era in 3 d printing and space travel, stephanie decker or 0. let's talk about this a little bit with joining us from your belinda, california, greg, or tree. you are the director of space leadership in the thunderbird school of global management at arizona state university. and now we're still keeping an eye

on that rocket, but it's not going to launch in the next few minutes as we thought it might. what is this going to change for the space industry, assuming the launch goes well? yeah, and i want to be clear, last going well, in my opinion means it gets off the path and they've proved all their basic technology. no new rocket from any government or commercial organization succeeds on the 1st large. but what they will prove is that we can eliminate a vast amount of the traditional metal bending process, large factory, and a lot of the labor involved in turning out iraq and make design changes in software and send them directly to production system. so you're going to get a number quicker and cheaper rocket building solution. so this is mostly an industrial thing or it's better for business. we can build a rock, it's faster and more cheaply. exactly, it's also better for government. if somebody suddenly decides they need to launch a payload, it's a little bit different, but you could theoretically print the faring parts. it contains the satellite

a little bit different. if it's a little bit heavier, you could theoretically print the fuel tank a little bit larger and get to get more boost. so there's a lot of different things you could do without having to change and tire assembly line process. it's all on the manufacturer. it's in the manufacturing so, so does it change anything? i mean, i understand what you just said, but does it change what we can do with space exploration, how far we can go? how fast we can get there? things like that. now doesn't fundamentally change our capabilities to put a payload in the orbit or, or beyond it just will make it so that we can do a lot more payloads and a lot more variety of payloads. we're also, so we're looking at this live shot right now, which is provided to us by discovery. and so the count down has actually stopped it's, it's frozen to 24 minutes to count down and there's this red tagged that says hold . what does that mean? this is a typical rocket system by issue when you get them on the pad and you start filling

the cryogenic fuels. and you begin to discover that maybe you need to go a little slower with, with the fuel filling because the temperatures, the ambient temperatures outside are temperatures inside the vehicle, or other sensor issues. you have to check out why you're getting a certain rating. they're super careful because you've got millions of dollars and here's where the work right there on the pad for particular for the 1st prototype. so they're, they're super cautious at every reading. i get now pushed back until they're 100 percent sure. they're ready to go. understood. are there any drawbacks to a 3 d printed rocket? i understand what we said cheaper, faster, requires fewer spare parts, less labor? are there any drawbacks? there are people who believe that this might be the chance to prove it. that printing structures like a fuel tank or the main structural assemblies will turn out to be a bad idea because it won't, it won't be strong enough and it won't survive or that there isn't really enough cost savings in those relatively simple structures to make it economically

desirable to take that approach, the market will make that decision, but i think it be really interesting to see and having now and so. so they have found the company for many years. i would not just county is, is vision here at all. i mean, is pretty impressive already. what we're seeing in the 3 d printer is that they've built and the machine that they've built. but of course, the proof is going to be in the putting as they say. and we're going to see what happens. well, come launch time or greg. all 3, thank you so much for joining us on the program. thank you. more than a week after a tanker sank off the island of mon doro in the philippines volunteers. and the coast guard struggling to contain an oil spill. it's threatening not only marine life, but the livelihoods of people in the area are gonna be low reports from manila, for generations to people of the island to be normal in the central philippines have lived off the waters around them. but the tanker carry 800000 leaders of unrefined fuel sent off their coast last week causing an oil spill that has
