its ability to provide mental health services to survivors is co humble, considering the enormous need required in the coming weeks, months and years talk the law a will. the law when with neither side, willing to negotiate is the ukraine war becoming a forever war is america's global leadership, increasingly fragile. what will you s politics look like? as we had to the presidential election of 2024. the quizzical look us politics the bottom line. ah . the journey forces killed 3 palestinians in a raid near she mean in the occupied west bank. ah

. unrolled matheson, this is audra 0 live from dough ha! also coming up lodge protest force georges governing party to withdraw build the critic se would curtail freedoms and silenced the media. ukraine says 5 people are dead as russian missiles hit multiple cities. it's the 1st attack talking facilities in weeks. 2 people are convicted in indonesia for negligence, for the stadium stampede that killed a 135 funds last year. ah . is, are the forces are killed, 3 palestinians in java, south of janine in the occupied west bank, there were traveling in a car. the witnesses said was targeted by snipers, on rooftops. israel says the palestinians were fighters carrying weapons and explosives. earlier i spoke to nita abraham, who gave us an update from the occupied westbank. according to local witnesses,

they say that these really forces have shot heavily at a car in jeannie and 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 it, this is there, 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 nice just recently. we've been hearing from palestinians and janine that they will continue to fight. we were there yesterday with palestinians have buried 6 palestinians after they were killed in an israeli wave. palestinians say that it will only understand the language of force that they will keep on the fight and they will not be deterred by these is really actions. also engineering a 14 year old boy has to come through his wound 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. and 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 about in jordan for example. is there any sign the told that those efforts are actually having any effect? it's clear that the israel is not stopping it's raised to the occupied with bang, just 2 days after those understandings were reached to meet in the back. israel rated nablus and killed 10 palestinian 11 to the palace indians in one grade. so if you look at the situation on the ground, palestinians would tell you that the cause for their resistance is, is really, this is why they will continue the fight. but when it comes to israel, it says that it will not allow. now those armed men that have been an

increasing all across the occupied west bank to continue. we see this phenomena that has started in jeanine because moved also to nobliss. and in other locations, we've seen jericho had armed men being involved in the fight. so if we're israel, this is a situation that they want to contain. they want to prevent fallacy, palestinians from fighting. but as far as palestinians are concerned, and they say that the leadership can agree on whatever it wants to agree on with israel, with the people once an end to the occupation and they see the armed struggle. as one way of doing that. us defense secretary lloyd austin's visiting israel as protest, continue against the hard drive governments, planned judicial overhaul. and when con is joining us live now from western loosen, this is part of a wider regional to the old law. dawson's been doing this visit to israel is during increased tension will not just increase tension. he's actually arriving in a state that is in a political crisis over the judicial reform builders being discussed. there's

thousands of people out on the streets across israel 95 different locations, people are protesting. they were already going to be at the airport where the meeting is going to take place. now. normally these meetings take place in the defense ministry, lloyd austin, and prime minister benjamin netanyahu on actually going to go to the defense ministry television. this would be to me, protestors out in the streets. lloyd austin was supposed to arrive on wednesday night. instead, the israelis asked him to arrive thursday morning to the airport. benjamin netanyahu is actually being helicopter to the airport for that meeting to take place. it's extraordinary the circumstances that this meeting is taking place under . now these protesters, they are on the streets and they will try and get their voice heard. but what's likely to be the scenario actually at the meeting, what's going to be discussed? well, clearly iran is going to be of concern to both parties. there's increasingly hostile language that from the prime minister has been using about iran for

a number of years. now that's concerning some in the u. s. so we're wondering if that might lead to some sort of escalation. also may be perhaps a distraction method against the, the protest. this gives the news media something else to talk about. so it's likely that that's being discussed. but remember, israel gets about $3500000000.00 a year in military aid alone. so having these meetings between the sexual defense and these race actually defensive a prime minister do take place on a fairly regular basis. but this is under very short new circumstances. given the type of language in the makeup of benjamin netanyahu, whose own cabinet, which has caused along in u. s. circles, particular within the biden administration to mankind, john, talking to us from west jerusalem. and man, thank you, legislators in georgia say there's going to drop a controversial bill that many had feared would silence independent media. and critics. thousands of people have been protesting against the proposed law in the

capital tbilisi for 2 days. ah, the sound of with police outside the parliament building continued through the early morning. the build would have required all organisations which get at least 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents. supporters had said the bill would created more transparency about foreign influence. october kim alicia is the political secretary of the opposition party called for georgia, and he says the decision to drop the bill. busy is a victory for georgia society. 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 is draft floor introduced by the ruling party was directly undermining the georgia constitution in i seeing the reason role of these raw floor by the link party. he's a particle. the result of the societies are extreme anger. what we have been

facing within the last 48 hours. this is the country res, transition economy transition. oh democracy. at the same time, we're building the institutions right now and what might be working with, you know, western countries each might not work in the office itself. georgia, this is ultimate in the, in the outgoing b is exactly the one which was pretty much, let's a worry. well spread within the georgia society was what would introduce by the same model and device arrange 90 in 2012 in moscow in russia that was on time 50 marching, the same manner, nbc, just 23 days ago. what all of the indigo of these law was pretty much similar. what the rations used to have back 10 years ago to suppress the alma in

geo sector to suppress e r t v stations to suppress independent media. and generally, to somehow talk the independent, let's say criticism, which might be our white. so for the sake of democracy in georgia right now, ah, the largest russian strikes and ukraine and weeks have killed at least 5 people, most of the deaths were in the western region of live. other areas hed include the capital cave, the black sea port, odessa and the 2nd largest city khaki. energy facilities have been targeted. ukraine says the strikes cut alec tricity to this operation. nuclear power plant that have been you accusations about the possible involvement of a pro ukrainian group and the attack on the north stream gas pipeline last year, german media, se western investigators believe as 6 person team launched from germany planted the

explosives, ukrainian authorities have denied any involvement, i 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 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, and there are ongoing national investigations. and i think it's right to wait until those are finalized before we sent 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 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 rushing full swag operation. ukraine continues to deny involvement. for me, it's a little bit strange story because it's not the story that nothing with us. and i

think the investigation of official authorities will describe every detail goes. 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 harris will sit al jazeera while the war is taking place in ukraine. political conversations on the sidelines are continuing russia's father, mississippi lovegrove is meeting his saudi counterpart prints fine. as i've been for sold in moscow, daniel hawkins is a journalist. he's joining us live from moscow. daniel, what are both sides hoping to achieve with this, between well as in quite little

information in the russian media and need an official sources about this meeting indicates and perhaps both sides want to keep things slot on the wraps until. and unless something concrete is announced, the saudi formative. so of course, it's moscow on the back of his visit to london, where he met from secretary james cleverly and of course indicates really saudi arabia's position as a mediator as a go between between moscow and key of and it's west and allies. the latest in a series of high profile talks between the russian form foreign minister and his saudi counterpart slab, of course, was in read back in may to secure the neutrality of the gulf states on the position on the crank conflict. the 2 held phone conversations back in december, and most recently started a b as a master to yemen. was also moscow to meet the russian deputy foreign minister to discuss the given conflict. so both sides here will be discussing very key issues of any cooperation of the crane conflict resolution. and of course,

what actual investments between russia and saudi arabia as well. i mean turkey in france, which is to the countries that are both tried to position themselves as mediators between ukraine and moscow with different levels of success. what makes the saudi arabian government think that it might be in a better position to be able to do that? well, relations between russia and saudi arabia, since the conflict began, have not changed very much. saturday be of course did vote to condemn rushman a reaction against ukraine. the un they have refused to join anti russian sanctions though. and the 2 countries cooperated very closely on energy market. that's been the very key issue of cooperation. russia has cut its energy production. that's all production runs by half 1000000 barrels. saudi arabia has an out increases in prices of oil to asia and europe. that last year drew the oil of the white house,

which a q saudi arabia, of 80 russia, and manipulating oil markets. so the subway has also been very closely involved in mediation and prisoner exchanges, most notably in the lease of the as of commodities and variable last year. and the munich security conference, the saudi foreign minister said that it's good relations with russia, benefits everyone. so read with these talks very much we'll be looking to position itself as a neutral party that seeks good relations with the west and with russia and can build on the success they've had so far. it's making progress with some sort of settlement and some sort of stabilization, all the international energy markets as well. daniel, thanks very much. indeed, daniel hawkins talking to us from moscow. stella, head on al jazeera consultations and buck a son between pollution, supporters of former planners. a non con, after be ignored, have been on rise in the hall. why thousands of women are protesting the mysteries of chile calling for change.

a tragedy could be minimized. 2 sentences that the list of the relatives of those who lost their lives, they are relatively lenient. there's some disappointment. i spoke a short while ago with a father whose 22 year old daughter died in the tragedy. and he said that he feels there's no justice, he's in complete shock and disbelief that people who may have played a part in the loss of his daughter have been given these relatively light sentences . malaysia's former prime minister, moving scene is due to face corruption charges on friday might be something to the officers of anti corruption investigators. for questioning. it was prime minister for 17 months between 20202021 doctor losing elections to an alliance led by on what abraham in november waiting and his party have faced multiple investigations. a taliban governor in afghanistan has been killed in a suicide bombing. the attack happened inside the office of mom and daughter, miser meal in missouri, she leaf in the bargain province. it's the 1st time

have largely sunk their agenda. they can go that it is a lot of job insecurity. some on 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 separately. there should have been monitoring off the train on the control board where is visible for 5.5 kilometers. after i 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 tracks. rail workers unions admit there was human error. but blame that on greece is 8 grueling years of government spending cuts and botched privatization of rail operations. let us get of it. this is the government says if the safety systems ran pace,

we wouldn't have had these deaths. 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 the company on a skeleton staff lacking at the limit of its ability. maybe in other countries, privatization works very well that harriet hasn't various political opportunism here. public sector unions with grievances against the government or writing on this train accident to express their satisfaction in this largely left swing opposition generated protest. however, there is true nationwide 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 remo 5, the government says it will nearly doubled 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, tens of thousands. busy of women and girls would be marching in chiles. capital, they're demanding abortion rights, and gender parity should be enshrined in a new draft constitution. our latin america editor, elissia newman reports from santiago. oh, was a massive display of women's determination and empowerment. women and girls of all ages and sizes were out on the streets of chiles. capital aah! with mothers brought their young daughters in huge numbers among them. 10 year old dominique, the la fuente, the government must have. yeah. i used to have very low self esteem, but then i started thing on the social networks that women are strong that change me to the adult women here. the right to say for portion was also high on the

agenda. address constitution was rejected here last year. and now it's back on the drawing board, but this time without guarantees of legal abortion and gender parity. what does it really look when it's terrible and it's even more terrible. the ones who are weighing in on this. amen. but it's not a done deal that tens of thousands of women who have come out onto the streets of santiago and other parts of the country are sending a very, very clear message that they will not settle for anything less than gender parity and the right to the side over their own bodies, and that's something that lawmakers and the ones who are going to write this program next constitution, we'll have to take into account that women's rights have advanced in recent years in chile, you what the, what i remember. but we don't have the same opportunities as men of my age. so i'm here with my friends to speak out for myself and many women who can't because they were mounted. i women like margery by my mother says she was strangled, beaten,
