interests. so worried about the units in geneva being coffee lately. before he was killed gunman, i've been fatter, hulu. she was taking refuge in jeanene, a hub for the armed resistance to his rails occupation. here in jeanine at different fixture. not only do palestinians fight side by side, but government for white support to one another, even when they belong to different palestinian factions and come from different city fighters tele, just either the internal palestinian division only serves to benefit israel. good. the government of 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 as that amy is one of 6 palestinians as ready force as 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 jennifer walker in local us now is the time for us to take up.

party is or to protect me because there's a severe that there's a serious threat to my life. a quest centers, how do i get been and yet have a secure enough environment where cities, how do i go to these gods? i, i made 3 court appearances and unfortunately there was just no protection there are . that's why we were broached the gordon said, look, there must be some police protection. while to 0, camel hired has been following the elements in law. all word before emron con the leader of the bugger. gone dead. he can starve or do to get golf. his campaign, the 1st and the beginning of the election campaign which are due on the 3rd year of april, all access road still has rented and have been blocked by shipping container. thousands of police when they have been blocking all good act that also they have been coupled with it. parties the border, the police using

a water cannon there also arm greg gear guys shares are going to be interesting to see what happens next. right now. the police pointed out on red alert, they have barricaded cemetery, road ridge of gosh, and also guarding huge broad loan fog commuter. and this is a country richard in the midst of a grave economic growth. therefore it can least afford more political uncertainty. kamala elder level, ah, thousands of people are protesting outside of the parliament building in the georgian capital to believe c for a 2nd day against the proposed law. they say will silence critics of the government . the government insists the new bill is needed to curb the influence of what it calls foreign agents. so the gaga has more this is women's day rally into b. c has a broader message for those taken part. the huge crowds that gathered in the

capital march towards parliament chanting no to the russian hill. citing me is the government's proposed phone agent law will deviate. george's path away from aligning with the european union and nato with i am the controversial foreign agent bill requires n g and media outlets receiving more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents of face. heavy fines are backed by the governing georgian dream party. the bill passed

a bust reading and parliament on tuesday. the supporters saying it will allow for transparency about foreign influence in the former soviet republic. did their account exceeds any real fights between and peas, as they debated the proposed legislation. that anger spinning out on to the streets as civil rights protest has fought with police over night. who use tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds. a government says that he just sold pregnant transparency but disease draft lawyers basically model done russian law. and in russia adopting of saturdays, lation was a step towards repressing independent media and civil society. while the president has self, has said she will veto the bell. parliament has the power to override her decision . more than 60 independent media and civil society organizations have said they will not comply with the bill if signed into law. but the worry for them will be how they will be able to function given the powers it potentially gives the

government to crack down on dissent. sunny dial out his era or let's dig into more about what's happening in georgia. joining us now via skype from tbilisi is at opposite really, she's a research associate for the caucus, is that the atlantic council's digital forensic research lab and a former advisor to the national security council over georgia. welcome to the program. so 1st of all, can you explain why this new for an aging bill is so controversial. thank you so much for having me. yeah, the, the foreign agents law enhanced to label media and civil society organizations that are recipient of the foreign funding as agents of foreign influence. the law our mirrors, the russian law on foreign agents which eliminated independent media and civil society organizations in the country. it took russia only 10 years to establish control and censor each of the actors undesired for the crowning and in

georgia. everybody's think that same would be for georgia. this law is not just the law. this law will be the beginning of the process of an extra nation of the civil society. also on, on the other hand, itself as a message to the west that the process of the building of georgia democracy, which has already been in a decline in the last couple of years is over. so as in russia, this law will most likely try to silence media and civil society organizations as well as individuals in georgia. we're trying to hold government responsible and accountable as her before we go into deeper into those kind of issues as well as specific about this law, given that any organization that received 20 percent of his money from abroad, we'll have to label itself as a foreign agent. surely that also applies to organizations funded by russia that are present in georgia now. yeah, absolutely. according to to law,

it applies to all of their organizations. but before, i mean, there are very good in good environment for russian find organizations in georgia, for example, during the 2020 elections. and nobody really cared about who are where they're russian for russian political parties or the far right groups which were undermining situation in georgia. were receiving money from but the thing is that this law is not a, that pro russian organizations. this is the continuation of the process of outgoing for the organizations which are critical of government into media which are critical for government. what does she about the timing of all of this? because since the war in ukraine started an awful lot of anti war, anti putin, people from russia have found sanctuary. the in georgia of the government aware of this is this a way of clumping down on those voices as they try to stage opposition or greg

grow or expand opposition to vladimir putin in russia? yeah, just a quick question on why the timing is now like why they are passing this law. now that the, the thing that the government and people in georgia know is that for an agents law will definitely jo for dice, georgia, pastry, atlantic family where it belongs to and what the country has been trying for for many years. so just a go back for a quick rushing way to georgia in august of 2008, and a 2 countries for a brief war. and since then, russia has been attempting to conduct online interest operations on online and offline, as well as trying to undermine georgia from within. and we also witnessed lisa in ukraine in 20142022. so this is a part of the same war. and this is a part of the same big picture that, that, that is happening in georgia currently on the question of why it's happening now. many people are just, so i'm just asking that say,

the same question. one of the explanations could be that russia is very much losing in ukraine, and maybe it's pressuring the georgian government a lot. but again, this, this could be on this population on that. so your brakes were extremely interesting parallels there. and of course, i don't want to run too far with these parallels with what happened in ukraine in 20132014, where the ukranian government reversed under russian press pressure, closer alignment with the u. that, of course, let to must protest revolution. arguably what's happening today in the conflict, do you really fear these kind of parallels taking place in georgia? if this law actually does come into force? i would say that worst case scenario for georgia would be bellows to zation, meaning that become the joint state who is russia is the bella state. this is one of the things i hear a lot in georgia that we don't want to follow the bellows purse. and just to do

nothing, what we want to take the ukraine's way and to fight back. so yeah, the georgia stands for, they want and they belong to you at signing family and they are there to, to, to stand for him and to, to have their freedom and democracy. and so there's really, really great has been to you as a, but it's really there for the research associate form for the caucuses or the atlantic councils. digital forensic research lab, speaking to us live from georgia, many facts about tens of thousands of people have been protesting across greece, demanding accountability for the nation's worst train disaster. ah, please, fides tear gas and flash band grenades to disperse large crowds in the capital. athens, civil servants, doctors, teachers, and transport workers who would off the job to show their anger what they say is the crumbling states of the rail network. protests as a questioning why the government failed to pursue safety reforms. give me, shoot him a, got this even my new and very angry and not just with someone in particular with

every one the 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 also over, you know, that was of them of him almost the normal. of course, i'm angry. how could i not be? it's not just the accident. it's everything else is. well, a lot of things have been building up so people have really reached their limits going by human, it's logical that there would be anger within society. but i believe during these moments silence is the best option. miss jones roblis has more 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 they are trying to fulfill the contracts 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 all the nice of the accident, the local systems enlarge the station where the train left from were an operation and would've been able to station most to see that the train had left the station northbound on the south. 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 network problems from the rest of the country. so nobody else could see what the station monster could have seen. if he

cared to see it. still to come on out there em all eyes on cape canaveral where the world's 1st 20 printed rocket is getting ready for lift off and more accusation swirl around over who is behind a tax on the north stream pipeline. ah, weather was taken a definite change in the feeling, at least in europe, with all the northern countries being rather more wintry. and most of the sudden countries most the european plain. well the more spring like at least temperature, why i said this for example was a snow storm that ran through denmark and sweden and he's still there. but this is the bit of denmark that sticks up into the skag or rock that looks rather more art to guess. i think he could argue this does to, in stockholm,

that has been more snow to come for both of them, but probably not quite the same degree. the next day or so. the concentrated, told us that he was probably run through germany into poland, and back on it's no major parts of england, wales allan knows not as well. but look at the contracts. contrast in temperatures 70 london. 60 in paris means a definite line here where to the south, it feels distinctly warmer. that's very obvious in turkey, in ukraine, in southern russia with this suddenly breeze, where the sun is out. but then you pick it up further west and you pick up rather more in the way of not just sunshine but rain, the balkans for italy and particularly for france were effectively being in dr. conditions throughout the winter. this probably welcome rain for north africa. the ha madison's pick up again, bringing dust and sand to the hot bit of the cell. ah,

the dakota oil pipeline snake through indigenous land, but no without with a beaten, arrested, and so effective. they are the dates and self proclaimed water. the women are standing rock on out his era, hulu. ah, from out of the top stories here, when i was here up, hundreds of people have come out to the occupied westbank to born in protest. of the 6 palestinians were killed by a ready forces policy. the presidency,

spokespersons who choose days, it's rady raid and all pakistan's. former prime minister run com has criticized the federal government's decision to ban public gatherings, which forced him to call off for the election rally that would confrontations between his supporters and the police in law ahead of the rally. their own person was killed and dozens of his pakistan to wreak in so in soft party where i rested. thousands of people protesting outside the part of building in the georgia capital tbilisi for 2nd day against the proposed law. they say will silence critics of the company or russian mastery say they've taken control of the eastern part of back most of the battle for the ukrainian city grimes on. it's not strategically stick significant, but 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 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. that issue of units of the private military company, wagner have taken control of the eastern part of buck. what everything east of the backward co river is completely under the control of wagner. she will go under the sea chest that weakened you. it is then a video released on wednesday. if gainey parisian 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. what 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 days? this does sir. ah, sir, not sir, necessarily reflect any turning point of the or a war. ah, and then, and her and the, it just highlights that we should not under estimate or russia, ah, we must continue to provide support to ukraine. ah, that whole thing. ukraine's military released a video of a commander visiting troops in back mot. 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 they're using this battle to deplete and divert the addresses resources from elsewhere along the front line. bernard smith, alger z, i did, nation's chief and ukrainian president vladimir zalinski of cor,

for an extension of the crucial black sea grain export deal at a meeting. a give antonio terrace, who is visiting the ukrainian capital stress, the importance of the agreement to global food security. the deal initially brokered by the united nations and turkey is you to be renewed later this month if no party objects at is however, it's been reported that moscow's demands have not yet been met. guitar is also reiterated the u. n. 's full commitment to ukraine. cooling rushes, invasion of violation of the un charter and international law. this is either green law to my son is for the explorer 20000000 thaws of grain from ukrainian bottles. it contribute to loading the cost of food. i think people were oh, with this war, but he come into the jumping walls and there have been new accusations about the

possible involvement of a pro ukrainian group in the attack on russia's nor stream gas pipeline last year, german media, se western investigators believe a 6 person team launch from germany planted the explosives are a force at 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, bought a rented yard at the 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 st. him more 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 to 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 details because it's like a compliment 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 emerged well after germany pledged advanced air defense and tanks to cave. hurry, full sit al jazeera, a special pedal formed by us house republicans is holding its 1st hearing into the origins of covert. 19 the select subcommittee on the current of our pandemic is

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 there have been plenty of issues trying to get access and transparency out of the chinese government. will that a week after a tonka son? cough the odd of been doro in the philippines. the coast guard is struggling to contain a massive oil spill. the slick has now reached several coastal towns on the east side of the islet known as oriental mon. dora is threatening not only marine life for the livelihoods of the residence, them ought to be low as this report. for generations, the people of the island have been doro, in the central philippines, have lived off to waters around them. but a tank root cherry, 800000 leaders of unrefined fuel sent off their coast last week causing an oil
