a 1st leg status. it is fine. you need to reach the course of fine. ah, we begin this news hour with the situation in georgia where protesters are back out demonstrating against a controversial bill. they say will curtail their rights and freedoms over the course of the evening. police of 5 t, a gas water, canada, and some stun grenades that demonstrate as these a live pictures against those who oppose a so called foreign agents law, which is similar to russian legislation. and used to silence critics. many of those protesting support george's integration into the european union. what do you want to share with job or major parties does absolutely a

with so the for an agents bill will require organizations the receive 20 percent or more of their funding from abroad to declare themselves foreign agents. if groups fail to declare, they'll face hefty fines and possible imprisonment, the legislation is similar to one pass by russia in 2012, which the kremlin has since used to target western funded ngos and media and is ignited fee as the country of former save republic as a lining more closely with bhaskar. the bill has deepened to rift between george and dream, which leads the government and pro european president slomo sir a bitterly. it might also stand the way of george's european union membership with

the ease foreign policy chief warning the bill is incompatible with you values and standards. okay, where joint now via zoom from tbilisi by mariam casanya, founder of media voice from georgia and a program manager at transparency international. welcome to the news hour. so we'd be looking at pretty intense scenes of clashes between protest and police of the last couple of days. i don't know where you are in the georgia capital, but what do you know of the situation right now? thank you. ne, a right now, just right now. so this south of georgia us are protesting, peacefully, intimately say of their i shall, law and their i to police that uses in lego and disproportionate to force against peaceful civil protest. i would like to mention that these protests are not organized by political parties or other parties and groups. this is a self organized demonstration. and we see the diversity of groups are all kind

of a community members left wing right tweak because we all understand a white line so important to somehow to protect our identity or identity it how when we ginny it's, it's a with europe. so the trigger you all are already told to watch was the trigger. this is a rational law, and i also, you mentioned that they context because a, i love the majority of georgia's around 80 percent of georgia's support. george's integration in european union i. there are your atlantic structures and these are didn't mind determined with our, our constitution by our constitution. so they, constitutional body st. government should do, do every thing to offer for george's integration, a western society. what we see's everything on the contrary, right,

is passion. not to war in ukraine. it become there. we'll, we'll talk about the, surely i just want to ask you what protests is a saying when it comes to who they believe this foreign agent law is designed to benefit? nobody and nobody, they the goal and the target of these russian law is a very broad actually. now what we have seen before this law into this was also the page from russian by play book. oh, they a tried to stigmatize, may dia, stigmatized, civil society organizations, but, and they treated them like political opponents. but after this law, this, as they will create, the government will create the very strong stigma. and their target will be the broader, broader audience, all who might, um, now bees, the supporters ofa or western integration. i have some benefits

from western education or other activities a so oh we see this read to we say that of thread to and not only media or civil society organizations during all this week. we see the petitions that small groups and small communities, they unite, and they express the other protest. so our and also we are of the context of this historical moment world when georgia should be cru granted for um, tendencies tattoos for members. and um, murray, this is also in competitive, believes in, remember she could you, could you explain to us why somebody protested, believe that the georgia dream party in the government are attempting to bring georgia closer to russia. what evidence do they have of that? what are they basing that on so that they bathe lice and

dizzy formation. and their prey history is that every time we have the crazy st. george during elections or the they are up press egon on critical media on those who have a critical opinion and they're trying to label and demonize these groups and these ease and now they're a scenario how they will prepare the ground for a 2022 elections, and now we see the singularities, especially after we're in ukraine. ah, a lot of things become visible for us. what russia was doing in ukraine, even bill a roost. and now in now, in georgia, and actually this law after the slow that this will loza adopted and we also talk with her russian afford execs our rights. now, they also,

ma'am the word nuttin and no, not perceived it very seriously in the beginning, but, ah, it's not adapted, but they started to execute it in your capacity, right? i mean, get georgia, they are enabling us as a spice and you're not busy. passivate countries labeling right at 4 in i will say systems kind of some sort of kind of cut across to you. i'm just conscious of how much time you we have left just for international viewers. of course, we have to remember that only back in 2008, russia and georgia were at war. and according to the european commission, 83 percent of georgians see themselves as pro e. you only a tiny proportion law pro russian wat or who is behind this current disconnects. so that, that, that's very important point because exactly around 80 percent of georgia population still is very pro western and they see their future in wes. so that's very

important for our government is we see to demonize this people and to now to damage their importation of the organizations of donors, of those who work with them and to, to easily to georgia. and this is a we see these as they are building at walla, oh, russian wall. and every time, every time we have such crises that we see that the ruling party and russia tries to polarize easel late separate people. and whereas our western partners try somehow to unite task and these days we have seen that you are kind of values. and our is peroration is this thing where, where are different groups can to really talk in one language?

or let's see where these tensions go in the coming days. mariam casanya, founder of media voice, speaking to a slide from to please many thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks, a rush mercer you say they've taken control of the eastern part of buck boot as the battle for the ukrainian city. grimes own is not strategically significant, but has gained symbolic importance for both sides. ben 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. the issue of units of the private military company wagner have taken control of the eastern part of bachman. everything east of the buckman co river is completely under the control of wagner. she will go wagner. this is just that we're going to, which is gonna video released on wednesday, is gainey bridge. again,

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 days? this does sir, or not, sir, necessarily are fixed any and turning point of the war on them and her and the, it just highlights that we should not under estimate a russia. ah, we must continue to provide support to ukraine by fulton,

ukraine's military release. the video of a commander visiting troops in back mart, alexander c ascii, tells the man there in the hottest spot. blackmore is 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, algiers, in the night license chief chief and ukrainian president vladimir zalinski have called for an extension of the crucial black sea grain export deal at a meeting. keith antonio terrace, who is visiting ukrainian capital stress, the importance of the agreement to global food security. the deal initially brokered by the united nations and turkey is due to be renewed later this month if no party objects, however, it's been reported that moscow's demands have not yet been met. it has also reiterated the u. s. full commitment to ukraine, calling russia's invasion of violation of the un charter and international law. the

place if you agree law to my son for the explorer, $20000000.00 of good from ukrainian balls. it contributed to loading the low cost of a b, a war. but he grew into developing world renew accusations about the possible involvement of a pro ukrainian group in the attack on russia. nord stream, gas pipelines last year, german media, se western investigators believe a 6 person team launched from germany planted the explosives. hurry force 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 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 does 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 stories also said it could have been a russian false flag operation. ukraine continues to deny involvement. for me, it's a little bit strange story because it's not it distorted. it's nothing with us. and i think that investigation of our official authorities will describe every detail's ghost. it's like a compliment for our special forces, but this is not our activity, the booty. if this attack can be proven to have been the work of a pro ukrainian group, even if not ukrainian state,

that could still proved tricky for a german government needing to bolster falling public support for its military backing of ukraine. these latest leaks emerged well after germany pledged advanced air defense and tanks to cave. harry full sit al jazeera. now the news, hundreds of people of come out into the occupied west bank to mourn and protest. of the 6 palestinians were killed by a st. rady forces, the palestinian presidency spokesperson, call the us ready rate, an all out war. for many palestinians calling on their leaders to do more to protect them. neither abraham reports the division between palestine. 2 political factions played out in the streets of nablus on wednesday. the palestinian authority security forces attacked mourners in the funeral. procession of the high math gunmen posted in official se 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 westland mischievous and the judge. not only is he, his railey army worried about the fight as uniting palestinians who have personal interests. worried about the units in geneva being coffee in other places. before he was killed, gunman i did for the little shake, was taking refuge in jeanene, a hub for the armed resistance to his rails occupation. janine a different fixture. not only do palestinians fight side by side, but government provide support to one another, even when they belong to different palestinian factions and come from different city fighters tell al jazeera, the internal palestinian division only serves it out of benefit israel upon him. and for the leaderships far away from the palestinian struggle for a long time, the palestinian authority wants to curb the resistance and where against that. the

other amy is one of 6 palestinians as ready 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 jennifer walker in law colors. now is the time for us to take up arms. young people have much more awareness and they say we have to resist lab. we can't stay silent against the israeli aggression. what he thought 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 westbank coming up an hour to 0. this news our protest turn violent in greece is. public sector unions is demonstrate over safety on the nation's trained network. how funding and political issues are hitting the humanitarian relief efforts in one of the regions worst affected by last month's earthquakes. and in school,

the world's biggest cricket ground india and australia get ready to perform in front of the record breaking test. ah, pakistan's, former prime minister emron current has criticized the federal government's decision to bad public gatherings, which force him to call off an election rally. there were confrontations between his supporters and the police ahead of cons, planned election rally in the city of law. one person was killed in the violence and dozens of his pakistan to regain staff party were arrested to sales before the event authorities imposed a ban on all demonstrations for a week and an exclusive interview without a 0 iran can set his life is under threat. he also questioned the conduct of officers on, on his supporters. earlier on wednesday, the supreme court asked the president of pakistan 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 opener election campaign by a rally in lahore to day. the police had given us permission that approved the route of the the, the rally. and suddenly this morning the permission was taken away. but not just stick it away. we had these heavy contingents of belize and these are people coming to attend a beast full rally. we're hit. birds are dear guest shows. we're water cannon with some chemical in at which people are still recovering from the issue. is that the government, the all than 12 parties said a good government and their backers, their petrified of elections because so far in the last 8 months. 2 out of the 37 by elections, my party has won 30 out of them. the biggest concern right now for my political

party is or to protect me because there's a severe, 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. i would say come, are hired as being following developments in the hor, always before m. ron, on the leader of the buggers on said he can solve for you to get golf it campaign the 1st and the beginning of the election campaign which is due. on the 3rd year, the vapor, it is all sto, residents have been robbed by shipping containers. how does the police have been blocking all that? you'd also been golfer where did party supporters, the police using a water cannon? they're also all right guys, shares. now we're going to be interesting to see what happens next. right now. the

police ported out on red alert, have better gauges, several roads which up. gotcha, also guarding bill rob loan. 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 just do all the hall protests on the streets of athens, turn violence on wednesday. as public sector unions demonstrated against the government, the trained collision that killed at least 57 people last month was the immediate cause, where there were broader grievances as greece heads into an election. john, so hopeless reports from athens. ah greek youth, no strangers to show downs with police had reason to be angry. it was mainly young people going back to university who were killed on february 28th. when a passenger train collided with a freight train, the government blamed it on human error. and it's for young who grew up in a recession after the post 2008 global financial crisis. the new democracy,

conservatives came to power in 2019 promising prosperity. but the coven 19 pandemic, and now high inflation because of the ukraine war, have largely sunk their agenda. but there's a lot of job insecurity. someone my age doesn't earn enough to pay their way and live with dignity. there isn't much opportunity. it's a general situation. and people of all generations are disillusioned with what they see as a failing state. greece purchased automated warning systems for its railway in 2014, but still hasn't installed them everywhere or trained every one to use them. say it but a bit. there should have been monitoring off the train on the control board, whereas visible for 5.5 kilometers. after left the station. if that had happened to the action would have been avoided because it would have been clear that the train was on the wrong track. rail workers unions admit there was human error,

but blame that on greece is 8 grueling years of government spending cuts and a botched privatization of rail operations. let us get up. it is a government says if the safety systems were in place, we wouldn't have happy's death. yes. but why didn't we have them all these years? because we had personnel, we had station masters and technical support. we had maintenance, we hadn't left company on a skeleton staff lacking at the limit of its ability. maybe in other countries, privatization lacks very well. but here it hasn't. various political opportunism here. public sector unions with grievances against the government or writing on this train accident to express their dissatisfaction in this a largely left swing opposition generated protest. however, there is true nation wide discontent as well because the government and the states have seemed indifferent and dysfunctional. and with an election and fewer than 5 months from now, the prime minister and his entourage are nervous about how far this reaction will remedy. the government says it will nearly double its budget to 80000000 dollars

this year to improve the rail network quickly. higher, more stuff, and install automated tracking signaling and emergency breaking throughout the system. but it's too late for those young people killed hair. and it leaves many wondering why it took this long for politicians to act. jobs are awful, us al jazeera athens. more than a month after earthquakes devastated northwestern syria agencies admit they've been unable to provide an adequate humanitarian response. they say they're suffering a chronic lack of funding and also face political issues, gaining proper access to a region that was already devastated by 12 years of war. st. houghton as more going to go, but of the 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 and cliff with so many homes with people with choice to live in the area, the 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 selected to 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 a to 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 north west syria. furthermore, is the 2nd piece, which is that we need a principal, not a political response of 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 said cutter al shahida. a lot more still to come this our, our draw now drought in iraq is putting 12000 years of agricultural history at risk . and who let the dog out a football match was interrupted by this pitch invading coach that's coming up in split ah well, was taking 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 alamo spring like at least temperature. why?

so this, for example was a snow storm that ran through denmark and sweden and he's still there. but it's, it's a bit of denmark sticks up into the skag or rack and that looks rather more art to get started. you 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 coldest though he was probably run through germany, into poland and back on it's nor met parts of england, wales, allan knowles now as well. but look at the contracts, contrast in temperature, 70 london. 60 in paris means a definite line here where to the south, it feels distinctly warmer. that's very obvious in tokyo, 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 raise the balkans for italy and particularly for france where effectively bringing 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, a fraud takes on the big issues. this isn't what he's talking about. a systemic issue here, like labs don't really matter in the police, were unflinching questions. this war with lawanda, imminent, rigorous debate, people were dying because of lack of treatment, challenging conventional with the fact that people are starting to get angry about this is in itself resign, wrote men, join me, mark him on hill for of right. what out there al jazeera goes beneath the waves with a team of women, determined to save the dolphins. a when me to do something to read amazing, anyone using a variety of scientific techniques to study their behavior. we can monitor them and report their vocal photos and behavior we're able to how they're adapting to their

planned pension reform that some say will make life harder for women. of 3 samples and on to them, like all the forums, this pension bill ignores women. now women will have to work more years to make up for the years. they had children as if having children isn't work well i later to state as against woman, as all states are and on this, governments include women, you end up with laws like this pension reform, which is profoundly sexist. this launch coincides with the 2nd day or nationwide strikes against a government plan pension reform. some workers say the reforms on erosion of their rights in the north of the country. they were road blockades and picket lines outside some factories in the east. dozens of cargo boat workers blocked part of the rhine river. while transport services have disrupted nationwide. res, i get eligible. suffer cuz it's been total chaos. i guess it's the same for everyone. and i had a train this afternoon that was cancelled, so i re booked and, and that was camera trade unions calling for rolling strikes to bring france to

a standstill and growing the government. and we called, i noted as quick as we condemned calls to bring our economy to sneeze because these statements are irresponsible. union leaders also to meet french president emmanuel mcgraw to discuss the stand off. so far the requests have been declined. macros says the reforms are necessary to modernize an ailing and possibly assisted, and for now his government shows no sign of backing down. natasha butler al jazeera paris gillian, women are marking international women's day by demanding the government and shrines . abortion rights and gender equality into the new constitution. tens of thousands are expected to join rallies and santiago and other major cities of the proposal. so defeated in a referendum on a new constitution last year. or i'm joined by latin america editor lucia newman, who's in santiago for more of this this year. what a protest is saying about the push for gender equality and abortion guys

it's, it's been a long, long, long road. it's been going on for years and years. every 8th of march, women come out and demand that, but they have been much more emboldened in recent years. they. it's not just a request, it's a demand very much. so this is a huge, huge to march. it's moving at a snail's pace, as you can probably see, because there are so many people here. it's just very hard to advance and would say, would have really noticed that there are a lot of very young girls here lament. very, very small, great school elementaries, whole kindergarten and mothers with babies in their arms as well. and they come from all over santiago. they are not just from math put in the working class or the middle class, but also from the more affluent areas of this city. it's, it's, it's

a, it's a demand that is really, really spread and it's resonating with women all over this country. and the other interesting part about is that, that women from even the most conservative circles are, are it demanding that there be no more genocide want more fem aside rather here's a t shirt, for example of one woman who says, we want justice for my dear them i did, it was just one of the very, very young girls who was murdered here by her boyfriend and it still has been no justice for her. so those are the sorts of, of requests of demand that these women are making here. and they're making a very loud and very clear, lucio, why was the attempt to have these demands, as you say, in shrines in the constitution defeated last year? and is there a sense opinion as perhaps changed them? no, there has not been much change. in fact, that is one of the reasons why there's so many women here, the,

the prostitution that was not approved in september would have guaranteed the right to abortion, and to gender parity on all levels. now there is a 12 point missed of being of topics that will be discussed in a new attempt to bring about a new constitution, but it does not include the right to abortion and gender parity. so women here, many of them are furious about that. they want to make sure that lawmakers hear their voice is here and that they know that that is something that they are demanding, be included, and not ignored until his next constitution. many, thanks, lucille, is he in human live in santiago? a special panel formed by us house republicans is holding its 1st hearing into the origins of coven. 19 the select sub committee on the corona virus pandemic is seeking to investigate where the virus came from. the 1st hearing comes just days before the 3rd anniversary of the world health organization, declaring corona virus, upon demick,

the chinese government says it has tested more than a 100000 animals without finding the viral genome and that any potentially infected animals may have been destroyed in the outbreaks. early days, the former director of the us centers for disease control and prevention said there may no longer be a smoking gun to be found. i don't think that answer is gonna come from the scientific community. i think that answer is going to come from the intelligence community. china is not fully cooperated, and we do think that's a key critical gap that would help us to understand what exactly happened. the last voice you just heard was that of april haynes, the u. s. director of national intelligence, the intelligence community remains split on cobra ninety's origins with the energy department and the f. b. i concluding a came from a lab and for other u. s. intelligence agencies concluding it came from nature. none of those conclusions were drawn with high confidence. the world health organization is
