standoff. so the police outside the parliament buildings have continued through early morning. the bill would have required all organisations which get at least 20 percent of their funding from abroad to be branded as foreign agents. when joining us live from tbilisi, ms. huckabee, kimberly cia who's the political secretary of the opposition party for georgia and the former head of georgia national security council office, sir vega, to have you with us on al jazeera. what has really motivated to movie the lawmakers to, to pull this back. is it about the protests or is it also pressure from the e. u? i think 1st of all, it's the result of the high pressure from the georgia society course. 85 percent of the georgia societies. very european. and the european perspective is written within the georgia constitution, and these dropped law introduced by the ruling party, was directly undermining the georgia constitution. and i think the withdrawal of

these draft law by the ruling party is a particle. the result of the societies are extreme anger. what we have been facing within the last 48 hours and talked for those of us are just coming to the story. a fairly fresh talk is through what the objections route to this. because if i understand correctly, the u. s. has similar regulations and they say it's not to suppress open debate. it is simply to specify the country or the foreign entity between behind organizations making comments. supporters of that would say that that is simply adding more context. what's the issue with this bill? thank you very much for holding. so who are very interesting question? yes. what would be the, let's say, like a b introducer. so these rough law have been using these particular argument that what might work in united states. why it wouldn't all walk in georgia? the answer is very simple. these, these little was introduced in united states in 1968 and the united states

institutions are very strong and that he's very good same. so understanding both the legislation within the, within the united states and in georgia, it's a different, let's say you want, we don't have strong just you to show. unfortunately, this is the country res, transition economy transition. a democracy at the same time. we're building the institutions right now and what might be working, you know, western countries, it might not work in the context of georgia, this is a, the end the i'm going to be exactly the one which was pretty much, let's say, what a well spread within the georgia and society was what introduced by the same argument by surveying 90 in 2012, in most school in russia that was on the matching the same manner in p. c. just 23 days ago. what are the name and the goal of the school was pretty much similar.

what the russians used to have back 10 years ago to suppress b o n g o sector to suppress the l t. v stations to suppress the independent media and generally to somehow choke the independent, let's say creaky season, which might be all right, for the sake of democracy in georgia right now. do you think that there is a chance that this is the last of this bill, or is it more likely that supporters are so determined that this bill is the right thing to do that we are going to reshape and at some point in the future, we're going to see our attempts to re introduce it are to be honest. so be caesar quite well, let's say assumption what particular all people are already making him go after hearing that the ruling party actually stepped to bear. cause are there her been several president of precedents with the know a la

b r t story. all the all fall through georgian dreams ruling wednesday san one seemed emp, the totally other one wednesday promised one thing and at some point change change . there are, these are promised in as we've to mariner after several months when the protest somehow or decrease in i seen kazama eat might be each might be tricky to look all ends to directly. let's say i'm a believe, been what we're doing quite the same. we're doing right now, but at the end of the day, we still rely on the georgia and society. absolute majority sleds, they are pressure, internal pressure on the georgia government, which actually effectively work right now. so far, very good to have you with us on al jazeera. so huckleberry coalition. thank you very much indeed for your time measure his mind. thank you very much. is very forces have killed 3 palestinians in java, south of janine in the occupied west bank. they were travelling in

a car that witnesses say was targeted by snipers, on rooftops. israel says the palestinians were fighters carrying weapons and explosives. we're going to go live too. neither abraham was joining us from of ramallah. what more do we know neither? according to local witnesses, they say that these really forces have shot heavily at a car engine in the at least 2 people were in. now, according to the israeli army, they say that they were trying to arrest the men when they engaged in an exchange of fire with these were the forces. now according to witnesses, they are, this did not happened. that's why people that are calling it an assassination of these 3 men they would imprisoned by the israeli forces and they were, they, me just recently we've been hearing from palestine is in jeanine that they will continue the fight. we were there yesterday with palestinians have buried 6

palestinians after they were killed in his review. rave palestinians say that it will only understand the language a force that it will keep on the fight that they will not be deterred by these is really actions. also in geneva, a 14 year old boy has to come to his room after he was wounded a few days ago by israeli forces. he is a 14 year old. this raises the desk or just the beginning of this year to $78.00. how do you need it over the last couple of weeks or so there have been efforts to try to find some sort of way of the escalating the situation. we saw meetings that were happening in october in jordan for example. is there any sign the told that those efforts are actually having any effect as clear that israel is not stopping its raid to the occupied westbank just 2 days after those understandings were reached to meet. and beth israel raided nablus and killed 10 palestinians,

11 auction palestinians in one res. so if you look at the situation on the ground, allison is with tell you that the cause for their resistance is the radio commission. this is why they will continue the fight. but when it comes to israel, it says that it will not allow those armed men that have been increasing all across the occupied westbank to continue. we see this phenomena that has started in jeanine because moved also to nablus and in other locations within jericho had armed men being involved in the fight. so if for israel, this is a situation that they want to contain. they want to prevent us from fighting, but as far as palestinians are concerned, they say that the leadership can agree on whatever it wants to agree on with israel with the people. what's an end to the occupation and they see the arm struggle as one way of doing that? need abraham in ramallah, anita. thank you very much. maneesha, former prime minister ma, heating ya seem,

's to defect toppling the then government. this was

a more reform minded government. at that time. it was led by mahatma mohammed who had an agreement to handle the pod to annoy abraham. but of course that transfer power never happened because meet in yes in came into power. and we didn't was again, a contender to be a leader of malaysia after the last election in november produced a hung parliament we'd in said he had been majority supports in parliament. he was jostling for the position of leader now. so we didn't support to say he is clearly a political threat. he is a political rival and that this investigation and the charges that are due to be pressed against him on friday and nothing short of political persecution. songs very talking to us from doorstep florence, thank you. ah, that is 5 people have been killed in ukraine after a barrage of russian missile strikes, new tags had targets including the black sea port of the desert and ukraine. the

until next week, a year and a half. as you mentioned, for the head of the organizing committee, for that much, that what we heard from the prosecution is that the organizing committee, the match officials, well they had a responsibility to ensure that spec changes was safe, that the stadium gates were unlocked. and that evacuation routes were clear. the response that we heard from the defense was that, well, even though yes, capacity may have been an issue more than 43000 tickets was sold for this much in previous matches. the same amount of people had attended matches at that very stadium country, 200 stadium in milan. and they had been no safety incidents. they pointed the finger at police, putting the blame very much on police who fired the gun. so worth walking through, what happened that night, that some fans had gone onto the pitch after the match finished. and it was police who fired together not only at the fans that were on the pitch, but also the spectators that were in the stones that resulted in people panicking

and running for the gates only to find that many of the gates were closed, were locked, and they could not escape from the gas filled stadium. what we've heard from now, what we've heard from the independent investigators as well into these are human rights body. when they release their investigation, they also put most of the blame on police for firing, cheer, gas, indiscriminately and excessively was we were mentioning before 135 people killed in that crush and mine city. have we been hearing a toll from the victims families? well yes we have, it's still early days and their responses are still coming in 135 people and worth also noting that many of them were young people. 30 age of the victims who died were under the age of 17. so they were children and they were also young children as well. the youngest victim was a 3 year old, so
