sarah london broke off and passed 2 people in thoughtful conversation. we were 1st generation of black for sheep people, and we have to really find our way with no hope and no limitation. the world is a much smaller place. we do better to get away with these regional boundaries, film direct think you're in to tell me things some writer in you think about ready for the picking stuff and they have is making off invisible. future b unscripted on out there. ah . ready novice, i have protests in georgia against government plans to introduce a foreign agents law demonstrate to say abuse to silence critics. ah,

i am aaliyah's fight is out there in life and doe also coming up. the battle for bach mood, ukrainian soldiers push ahead against russian mercenaries who warned they can't win . tens of thousands of women take to the streets of chillies, capital, demanding, gender equality and end to domestic violence. and we report from iraq where the country is facing a water shortage. despite having 2 major rivers ah, of thousands of people are rolling outside the parliament building in the georgian capital, tbilisi for a 2nd day demonstrating against a proposed law. they say will silence critics of the government. the legislation is similar to one pass by russian 2012, which the kremlin has since used to target western funded

n g o z and media. like alberto will separate reports, railing outside parliament for a 2nd night in a row. protest as in tbilisi has been marching against a so called for an agent. spill that many feeble curtail civil liberties and stifled press freedom. but right police, push them back. he's in guess 40 cannon and then beneath the transparency of fine funding bill passed 1st reading in parliament on tuesday, but not without chaos and fighting between n p the the bill requires n g o n media outlets receiving more than 20 percent of the funding from abroad to register as for an agent or faith, heavy fines president fellow miserable really has come out in support of protesters and has vowed to veto the bill. many demonstrators say the bill is reminiscent of russian legislation used to silence critics. they say, should the bill become law,

it will reuben georgia, the chances of becoming a member of the european union and nato, around 80 percent of georgia populations to you is very pro western and they see their future east west. so that's very important for our government is we see to demonize these people and to now to damage the reputation of the organization. so don't nurse of those who work with them and to easel, late, georgia. the draft is backed by the governing georgia dream party. and says it would allow for transparency of, for an influence prime minister iraq lee got to the bus really says it will help route out those working against georgia interests. but critic say that's not the case. the theory amongst many georgians, but this is actually a conscious besset by georgia government, the cyber charles georgia efforts to join me in order to, to curry favor with the candidate and avoid a military intervention like so in

a crate and georgians are right. i agree about this because georgia is such a pro european oriented public opinion more than 60 independent and civil society organizations have said they will not comply with the bill is signed into law malachite on monday, august 0. anton kaya is a john les with real politico, he sent us this update from to please see. there are still hundreds of protest this clashing with the police. the police were just consisted of rifles and rocking up lisbon. we're using tear gas, water, cannon, and pappas break to disperse the demonstration. today, tens of thousands of georgia is due to the streets to protest the bill on the transparency of foreign influence,

which has been adopted by the georgia government on 1st hearing many georgians fear that this bill will hinder the countries european aspirations. georgia is waiting for and also from the european union about granting the candidate status which has failed to receive. along with mal giovanni crane, last year my county has moved from washington dc. they say they deeply concerned about the potential for violence within georgia. first of all, the state department spokesman net price made clear that the right to protest is a universal one. at the same time, he called on both protesters and the government to keep the proceedings non violent to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. as these protests continue, the spokesmen declined to directly criticize the georgian government,

but at the same time he made very clear the u. s. position on these controversial new draft laws. this is what ned price had to say. we're, as we said consistently in recent days, deeply troubled by the recently introduced draft for an agent law, which is actually made law, would stigmatize in silence independent voices and citizens of georgia who are dedicated to building a better future within their own communities. parliament's advancing of these kremlin inspired draft laws is incompatible with the people of george's clear desire for european integration and its democratic development. the state department spokesman also made clear that the us views this current conflict between people and government as part of a why did dissonance between what the people want and what the government once this is very much a reflection of what the us sees as a government not necessarily following the wishes of the people,

and this is something that came close to direct criticism of the georgia government itself. the ukrainian officials are reporting a barrage of russian missile strikes on cities across the country. the attacks had targets including the black sea port for desa and ukraine, 2nd largest city concave. they also struck towns in ukraine's western regions, which are far from the front lines of russia's invasion. how has reportedly been knocked out in several areas? meanwhile, russian masonry, say they've taken control of the eastern part of buck moved as a battle for the ukrainian city grinds on. it's not strategically significant, but it has gain symbolic importance for both fives and smith reports. 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 originally just bought more. the sure for was sewage near you . welcome would go baldness to know what it's about, control him. she will go wagner. just as we go 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, sergey 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. are not, sir, necessarily, reflect any, are 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. oh, i hope you cranes, 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, the united nations chief on ukraine's president have called for an extension of the

crucial black sea grain export deal at a meeting in keith. and tony gets harris is visiting the ukranian capital and his trust the importance of the agreement for the global food security. the deal was initially broken by the you and in tech. he and his g to be renewed later this month. in july, from providing for the 20 city 1000000 songs, that grain from canadian portals it contributed to loading the low cost of food. and that was good to go to. people was also paying for this log into developing. we'll have a new accusations about the possible involvement of a pro ukrainian group in the attack on the north stream gas pipeline last year, german media, se western investigators believe that a 6 person team launch from germany planted the explosives. quite new authorities have denied any involvement. i force that reports the gas leak ended months ago.

but the answers as to who carried out the attacks on an odd 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 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 russia might have sabotaged its own pipelines to create further chaos in europe's energy markets. russia accused the united states have 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 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 one 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, tens of thousands of people have rallied in chiles, capital santiago. they were marking international women's day by demanding of the government in shrines, abortion rights and gender equality and the new constitution. on wednesday, the julian government announced a series of measures aimed at improving women's lives on latin american as salisia . newman was at the march and santiago, it's been a mass mass demonstration,

one of the largest i think i've ever seen in that saying a lot in this country where for international women's day, usually hundreds of thousands of women and children, even babies this time turned out with their mothers, but there has just been an incident. i don't know if you could. you probably can't see it right behind me, but i could see the water cannon trucks of the riot police throwing water and trying to break up a group of violent people that just interrupted into this what was otherwise a peaceful and very joyous march. they started throwing glass bottles, sticks, beat several of the protectors or of the women marchers who tried to stop them. it became very violent. one of them got caught just a few minutes ago by the marchers who him and, and a teams. and it's being cleared up, there weren't many of them, but they, as i say, they were very, very violent. and it's the kind of thing that happened to often hear, despite the calls for a peaceful march, mainly by women. they're very few men here. those who were armed with the glass

bottles and sticks and stones were mainly young men. but anyhow, it did seem to have ended. and that's why you see very few people behind me right now. but there are tens of thousands in front of me at this stage. they must be marching past the presidential palace to demand abortion rights, to demand gender parity, especially an end to fem aside and abuse by men. this is it's a long list. we've heard it all for years and years. but chilion women are becoming more and more emboldened from all age groups and from all social levels, he cannot make levels in this country. that's certainly what we've been seeing here to day transport and sanitation workers and france are taking their strike against proposed pension reforms into a 3rd day. anger has continued to grow the president's plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. our international women's day protested, highlighted what they see as the sexes nature of the changes natasha about the

reports from parents. solidarity women's rights around the world was one of the main themes of march in paris to mac international women's day protest as well. so focus on issues closer to home, including the french governments, planned pension reform that some say will make life harder for women. was of 3, say i'm to come down to like all reforms his 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 little. c 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 mod coincides with the 2nd day or nationwide strikes against the government plan pension reforms. some lucas said 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 wine river while transport services were disrupted. nationwide, research get eligible, suffer cuz it's been total chaos. i guess it's the same for everyone. i had a train this afternoon that was cancelled, so i reboot. and then that was came trade unions calling for rolling strikes to bring france to a standstill and growing the government in golden order just quickly. we condemned colds to bring our economy to sneeze because these statements are irresponsible. union leaders also want to meet french president emmanuel mcgraw to discuss the stand off. so far the requests have been declined. macro says the reforms are necessary to modernize them ailing and possibly assistant. for now his government shows no sign backing down. natasha butler. i'll just 0. paris still ahead on out there. ah, former pakistani prime minister m ron con cools off his election rally after police

arrest his supporters for defying a ban on public gatherings. and how funding and phyllis bush usa hampering humanitarian relief efforts in white ravaged paws of northwestern. ah it was pretty active at the moment across the ravine peninsula. the release in general was back in fact easy cloud going across, driven by reasonable breeze. so this dust in the air, particularly in east and south into the forecast for 30, that'll be nursing in q 8 and the blue dots, of course, are showers, all thunderstorms, more concentration, eastern iraq on the mountains of a round, disappearing for the west. you go, there's a feed though, you'll notice into sudden turkey or northern syria which might give

a few showers. but for the south is generally speaking sunshine. and that continues into friday rather concentration that line of thunderstorms on their way through q 8. and saudi arabia, though hostile are very warm, $32.00, but you'll notice the brown indicates the enough wind pick up the dust, at least, if not sand, that is jumped south now into actuarial africa, where the rains are shaman south rather early around like victoria. they've been around in canyon uganda. they're taking a day off during thursday and certainly somali remained bone dry at the moment. but look at this, freddy has not gone away the longest live tropical cyclone in recorded history and is heading back rather strongly towards the coast of mozambique. ah ah,

this was wrong to teach children away from your parents unheard them into a school against them. there was no mother, no father figures. they put us in the big playroom and we certainly looked after ourselves. i don't remember the children's names. i'll never forget. canada's dark secret. announce is ear. oh, the me. you're watching out there, mind the top stories, this allen thousands of people protesting in the george and captain tbilisi for a 2nd day, a routing against a proposed law. they say will silence critics of government. the government says

it's needed to stop the influence of what it calls or an agents russian mystery. say they've taken control of the eastern part of the battle for the ukraine and 50 grinds on. major sector general says it may fall to russia and the coming days. ukrainian defenders say that will notary protest is mocking international women say gathered and chillies, capital, santiago, tens of thousands were demanding that the government include abortion rights agenda and quality in the new constitution. now pakistan, former prime minister ron con, has criticized a government decision to band public gatherings which forced him to cool off an election rally. they were confrontations between his supposes and police ahead of cons. planned raleigh in the hall. one person was killed in the violence, and dozens of people arrested just hours before the event of sources imposed a ban on all demonstrations for

a week. the biggest concern right now for my political party is to protect me because there's a severe there's a serious threat to my life. the question is, how do i campaign and yet have a secure enough environment. quested is how do i go to these schools? i made 3 go to balances, and unfortunately they were just no protection there. that's why we approached the gordon said, look, there must be some police protection for it says on the streets of athens, 10 vine, and on wednesday as public sector unions demonstrated against the greek government, the police fire and take gas and stung grenades to disperse. large crowds in the capital, angry about the train collision that killed at least $57.00 people last month. switching up the stupid my know moon, i'm very angry and not just with someone in particular with everyone. they should

never have happened. everyone should be held accountable from the lowest, the highest, even i'm responsible that i didn't react, so this would never happen. remember, you know, of course, i'm angry. how could i not be? it's not just the accident, but it's everything else as well as a lot of things have been building up. so people have really reached their limit already. but you know, it's logical that that would be anger within society. but i believe during these moments silence is the best option. ah, in agencies say that the humanitarian responds, northwest syria to february is devastating as craigs has been inadequate. they blame it on a lack of funding. st holder has more is going to go. but if the time has done little to heal the wounds, the earthquakes, the devastated war ravaged towns and cities and syria have robbed its 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. what i see over trousers with more media people on 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 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 north west syria. furthermore,

is the 2nd piece, which is that we need a principal not a 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 up other areas, ito, iraq is facing an unprecedented water crisis. more than 4 years of drought means drinkable water is becoming, was scarce. and there's been a massive impact on agriculture. according to the norwegian refugee council, a quarter of iran ki farm is experienced 90 percent wheat crop failure due to a lack of water $1.00 and $3.00 or reducing the area of land that they're cultivating or to reserves in the country southern mesopotamian moss linds on down 60 percent my mood uh bu why he reports from no 3 year. these land used to be covered by thriving fields and orchards. but like many other

areas in iraq, southern provinces, drought has lifted parched villages in the district of said it have once a major supplier of meat for the whole province has sugary and her booty explains how a shortage of water has ruined his farm. his cows are weekend unhealthy because they drink water that is contaminated beside that. what about the situation where you know the g and we used to grow less greenery, some fruit including watermelons in summer and wheat and barley in winter. our crops died and our livestock trying to find remains of grass and sunny. we've lost $300.00 cows this year alone in our area and how coleman was in the twin rivers. the tigris and euphrates are a lifeline for people living in iraq. but the water levels have fallen drastically

that is blamed on dams being built in iran in to kia a less rain falling in recent years. the little water that remains is covered in river weed and contaminated by waste and toxic chemicals. yet it's the only source for use for about 70000 people in this area. i'm a jess im, distributes disseminated water to those in remote areas. he says, demand is the highest it's ever been awarded. shot my b, this tank capacity can supply 4 or 5 houses only. we have been working on a daily basis and the demand for household water has increased dramatically since 2018. albano walked out of the room. some families here can only afford a bearing of water a whole day. even water from ortiz in wales, a salty this ditch, extends for

a few kilometers and used to be full of water. now it has dried up and people from the village have been digging wells by hand in its bed like this one here. they then use pumps like this to get the water to their homes. but since it's not de saline 8, it people here say it's harmful, especially for children's his skin. some farmers have moved to other cities. others have changed their profession and with some are approaching those who are chosen to carry on fear their communities and their way of life will decline. my hold up to what algebra in the vicinity of and mostly a city southern iraq now launched the world fast 3. the printed rocket

has been cooled off for the last minutes. the rocket was designed by relatively t space and was attempting to break new ground in space exploration. early in the launch process teams at cape canaveral began troubleshooting a problem with the rockets liquid oxygen temperature. the $110.00 foot rockets take off was put on hold and the issue couldn't be resolved before the end of the 3 hour launch window. a new dates for take off has not been announced. ah, this is algebra. these your top stories. thousands of people are processing in the georgia and capital tbilisi for a 2nd day and rotting against a proposed law. they say will sign and critics of the government, the government says it's needed.
