[000:00:00;00] i a wherever you go in the world. well, my line goes to make it for you. exceptional katara going places to go. ah, ah, i don't have elizabeth bonham and this is the news, allan life from joe ha,

coming up in the next 60 minutes. thousands of his ladies protest against the government outside of the airport. limiting the u. s. defense secretary's travel plans. ukraine says 5 people have been killed off to russian muscles hit multiple cities. it's the 1st attack targeting energy sites and weeks lodge protest force. georgia is governing party to withdraw and build that critics say would curtail freedoms. am silence the media. and a suicide attack in northern afghanistan has killed apollo bomb provincial governor . i'm devin ash, with sports and as one quarter century gets, australia are off to a strong start in the 4th test against india and paris. social moms white for champions league title goes on off to they would knocks out by bind music in the last 16. ah, it's just passed 13 gmc and we begin in israel where the u. s. defense secretary

has touched on televi tv's. ben gary, an airport on a visit shortened by a week's long protest against the government's plans to change the judicial system . lloyd austin is meeting prime minister benjamin netanyahu and defense minister jo of gallons had a nearby venue before leaving in a few hours time. i there was a confrontation between a protest, a and israel security minister with a mob been greer outside. the airport demonstrate is blocked main junctions across israel, as part of a national day of resistance. they said they were trying to slow down traffic and a bid to stop prime minister benjamin netanyahu from boarding a flight to rowen nathan, yahoo had to be airlifted to the airport. that's been going on. cause wanted him on con, he's joining us live from west jerusalem. the u. s. defense secretary confined to the airport and the prime minister having to take a helicopter to get to the airport and run thus,

as his eye is extraordinary circumstances of the, the israeli communist has found himself and he can't get through the streets of television because television is practically at a standstill right now because of the protesters, blocking roads and highways. so this was a meeting that would normally take place in the ministry of defense and that didn't happen. so they had to move it to the airport. it was also supposed to be a longer visit by the u. s. secretary of defense, lord austin. he was supposed to arrive on wednesday. he then didn't. he was asked by these rallies to actually just keep his trip to one day. that meeting is now over, and benjamin netanyahu has actually tweeted, he said to them it with the u. s. secretary of defense, lloyd austin. our common goal is to prevent iran from obtain nuclear weapons, thought iranian aggression, maintain security and prosperity in the region and expand the circle of peace. welcome to israel. no comments there for on the situation in the west bank than a nightly rates there. this meeting through netanyahu,

elise is all about iran and trying to stop her on that tracks with what the prime minister has been saying before. often time when he's under prussia, he'll say to word a wrong, hoping that that would be your a distraction from whatever's going on inside the country. but israel is a big receiver over big recipient, rather of a i a u. s. fund $3500000000.00 a year on the military aid alone. so certainly that's something else that they would have talked about. now the prime minister is leaving for rome. he's juice to meet with the italian, the leader on friday. ah. so will expect to hear me coming out of that. are both leaders seem to quite sympathetic to each other on friday, but this meeting has now come to an end and as predicted. it was all about one country. iran, you mentioned a prime minister netanyahu under pressure in line. you been covering this conflict for a very long time. has he ever, ever been under this much pressure internally?

no, i mean he is really, is a genuinely, quite nationalistic. they're quite patriot tech. they believe in their system of democracy. so to see people like this, ordinary israelis middle class upper class is riley's out on the streets, protesting as never really been seen. but hickey of this kind of level, on the saturday protest we seeing nearly 330000 people out on the streets is an extraordinary number of people. but currently, this is a very elite protest movement. it's people who are journalists, her work in the military, the high tech side or sector as people like the ordinary israelis. mm hm. and the rest of the country still support netanyahu because they see him as a very strong man, and they feel that that's what israel needs right now. it needs a strong, a strong leader. so he still has huge amounts of support. and remember, still housing is a thin majority, but he still has the majority in the parliament to try and push forward this

judicial reform bill and mankind bringing as latest or live in west jerusalem. thank you and ram. well, let's get more on this. we're joined by jonathan reinhold, his, that head of the department of political studies at by and on university. and he's joining us live from hell of a very good to have you with us on al jazeera, just how big a threats would you say these protest site upon minister netanyahu and his government? so i would say that on their road back home that broke down, the government will stop the reforms, but they encourage more and more people and economic investors in its route and trade unions to strike him to withdraw that funding. and together it's creating unprecedented pressure. and it is a serious problem for him because it indicates that even if he were to succeed in passing the reform in the connector in the writing parliament,

he could have incredible difficulty implementing them. and what about israel relationship with western allies? the us defense secretary lloyd austin is in the country. he's confined to the airport because of the protest. how does you know what are the off 6 of that? do you think that lloyd austin? this is something that lloyd austin will bring up with the it's really government i'm sure he will mention it, but i'm sure it will be the focus of his discussion. israel's relations with the west, the united states and with europe have 2 components. one component will remain stable irrespective of what's going on inside israel, and that is the they share common interests of common enemies. take the iran and radical islamic terrorists organization. and that context, the only concern will be whether israelis is able to propel it traditional role as

i, as i in this regard given it's been kind of the vision of a longer term though, particularly on the center of at the center of american politics in a sense of sense, right and sent to left in europe and politics, the product that is rather the democracy is central to the underlying support for israel. and were these reforms to be passed and implemented and lead to over time, the loss of independence of the is ready to dish or re poses a threat to individual a minority rights and they throw that could severely damage israel's relations with the u. s. western europe what about the ongoing violence in the occupied territories, mister reinhold, do you think that that's something that annoyed austin is likely to say anything new about on this visit? i think that he will emphasize and here is much easier for the united states because it's an external issue is not intervening in his writing,

domestic politics. i think he will ration upon yahoo heavily to take a cautious and careful approach that was not to escalate the violence. now normally mister yahoo was supposed to approach in any case however, his fall right. the stream coalition partners favor a more robust approach and that is something that could set things like here. and that is something the, the us and the israeli security establishment would very much like to avoid. and do you think that the escalation and violence that we've seen over the last few months, is that because of the new coalition partners that foreign minister mentioned beneatha, yahoo finds himself with in this government. so the israeli security services have been warning for over a year that the level of tension in the west bank had been increasing the

underlying causes of that to fall. but the bull, the failure to have any progress in the peace process. and secondly, the strong sense in the occupied territories that the palestinian authority is corrupt and inefficient and is increasingly all or a terry. and so all of those things together provided a tense situation and the fact that this government with bar right coalition pong as a company has only intensified that pension. mr. reinhold, it's great to get your insights on this. we do appreciate that. as jonathan reinhold, joining us live from 10 of the thank you my good will as will been supporting this bean escalating violence and the occupied west bank in the past few days. israeli forces killed 3 palestinians and java south of janine early on thursday that were travelling in a car that witnesses say was targeted by snipers on rooftops as well as the

palestinians were fighters carrying weapons and explosives. neither abraham has at the job a refugee camp in southern janine we knew graves were dug up here in job bout after 3. palestinian were shot and killed by israeli forces earlier today. just next to them are grades of 2 other palestinians who were killed in january. okay, in and is really weighed there. part of what's known here as the battalion. it's a recently established fighting group here. and we're seeing a growing phenomena of armed men working together, uniting, and we're seeing that phenomena expanding more than just in genie in annapolis because we want to be free and get liberated and breathe, but don't what we're seeing is depression. and all this pressure will only lead to an explosion. oh,

there will then funeral coming parts of the daily life here in the occupied west bank with more than 75 for simeon field. just this year alone with spoken to the mother of a one of the palestinians over killed earlier today. she says she was one of the. 6 first to see him identify him, she rides that's good, at least we will. it is neck chest and abdomen. this is the funeral procession and the other 2 men also a. 6 team that you're doing and is a way to read a minor to be in the beginning here and no one is wrong with

the army with the situation even further. there are plenty more head on the news allah, including 2 people are convicted an indonesia for negligence. for the stadium stampede that killed a $135.00 fans last year. ah, world leaders in doha drama road map to be of decline and economic development across the world's paused countries. and for some emmons to remember in the pakistan super league that's coming up with gemma the kremlin says it notched muscles strikes on ukrainian cities and retaliation for an attack and the bronze region last week. it's later strikes on ukraine killed at least 5 people. most of the deaths were in the western region of levine,

are the targets include the capital key, the black sea port desa, the 2nd largest city card cave. acid bag reports an all too familiar sighting ukraine's capital keefe. according to the ukrainian air force, 81 missiles were fighting the early hours of thursday morning, including 6 hypersonic missiles which can travel up to 8 kilometer the 2nd. ukraine said it intercepted 34 cruise missiles, but doesn't have the ability to intercept the hypersonic missiles. 40 percent of kia is now without power. o yet jewelers. listen. i heard the very loud explosion. very loud. we quickly jumped out of bed and saw one. karen fire than their other cars caught on fire. isreal the glasses shattered on the balconies and windows. it's very frightening that child got scared and jumped out of that you rescue services have become accustomed to dealing with the aftermath of air strikes. i or some of the healthy, thorough trouble. i woke up from the explosion quite a strong waterloo,

and i could never imagine that it would happen in my back yard. so when i went outside, i realized those cars are in the yard zebra. it is hard to explain how i feel because one meter left, all right. and it could have been my apartment so that i have no words left oh. in the west for people who killed one missiles, hit selective sky, ukrainian se, residential buildings were destroyed in the attack. elsewhere in the east, the butterfly backward is intensifying with the russians saying they now controlled the east of the busy city. ukrainian military though, still hanging on for now. it was on catherine. although luckily thinking the team of the tongue has fired from the concealed position at the enemy position. did you know the target is hid? silly boys are good school. we've sent or greetings to the uninvited guests that came to a country back would its standing. we would win. sheila, the attention continues to be in the east with the heaviest fighting is taking place. but russia has reminded ukraine with this latest set of attacks. it has the

ability to strike anyway. aside, beg, i'll 0. the russian controls up of it. see a nuclear power plant and ukraine has lost all external power supply. it's now relying on diesel generators. that's the last line of defense to prevent the or the heating of react to fuel. the director general of the international atomic energy agency has issued another warning about the situation. so please, your nuclear power plant is running on emergency diesels. the last, the last line of defense. this is the 6 time. let me say it again. this is this 6 time that this up. what is your nuclear power plant house look all off site power and house had to operate in these emergency mold. let me remind you,

this is the largest nuclear power station in europe operating for the 6 time under emergency diesel generators. what are we doing? while the war is taking place in ukraine? political conversations are happening on the side lines. the russian and sound, the foreign ministers have been hold and talks and moscow as well as the armed conflict. energy corporation was high on the agenda. russia also says saudi arabia has played a role in enabling prisoners swaps it's fung. and daniel hawkins, he's a journalist and joining us live from moscow. so what are the messages that are coming out of these meetings, daniel? well 4 minutes, a psychological suddenly seemed pleased with the outcome of the meeting describing it as timely and useful oil and energy markets was the big announcement everyone was waiting for and both sides confirm their unwavering commitment to existing open plus agreement. psychological saying that those agreements in place would last at least until the end of this year, been for han also reiterating the importance of

a coordinating energy policy with russia to stabilize energy market. so both sides also gave you the credit for their efforts in mediating in regional complex like the war and given. and it's very piloted in complex. but of course, ukraine was the biggest automotive agenda saga, elaborate revealing saudi arabia had been involved in multiple prisoners of war exchanges, was in russia and ukraine. and saying that this corporation was lucky to continue in future. his saudi called the counterpart equally saying saudi arabia is always willing and ready to speak to all sides, to find common ground dialogue, to resolve the, the quote and conflicts through diplomatic means. so other signs then that saudi arabia, we could be saudi arabia playing a big role of mediated between ukraine and russia. what absolutely saudi arabia is going to be looking to emulate the role of turkey and trying to play the role of a neutral country. that speaks to

a party to try and get this resolved sideways, of course, and balancing on a very fine line. they've condemned russia the you win for the manufacturing ukraine, yet they haven't joined sanctions. they provided ukraine with millions in humanitarian aid, but not military aid. yet at the same time, strength and cooperation with russia across multiple spheres, including the military sphere and the energy sector as well for which they come in from their share of criticism. one house life here accused of aiding russia and manipulating oil prices through the opec called cell. but that doesn't seem to worry. so much should been for han, just last month, the munich security conference said the saudi arabia, speaking to russia, cooperating with, with russia, is beneficial to everybody. and the dialogue has to happen. and that is the direction we had will be pushing in trying to get all sides around the table to restart some sort of political dialogue,

which is really absolutely stalled over the last few months to try to find some sort of solution in the ukraine crisis. that's janice, daniel hawkins, joining us live from moscow. thank legislators in georgia, said l drop a controversial bill that many had feared was silence independent media and critics, thousands of people have been protesting against the proposed law, the capital tbilisi for 2 days. yeah. the standard police outside the parliament filled and continued through the early morning on thursday. the bill would have required or organizations which get at least 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents. support said the bill would have created more transparency about foreign influence . let's get more on this now. we're joined by nazi school. associate photo it be world united services institute and she's like her us into placing very good to have you with us on ours. is there a do think that this is the end of this bill or could legislative bring it back in

another form. thank you very much for having me. well, we are yes to see. oh basically we have seen the rest of the morning class. the bill would be on conditionally withdrawn and there have been some action followed. for instance, the ga, intuitive official cover where the withdrawn demand from the benefit commission to go through and provide comments of these controversial on the controversial sale. yet we need to see how they proceed with the parliamentary procedures. as you may know, there has been a 2 versions of this proposal, one, what they like, they frame it like the life or version of this law. and another one was, as the initiators claim, a word by word translation of the so called american law, which is which, which they claim is that is the prototype of before and agents registration assets,

which reactive in america 38. yeah. i in my personal opinion, this law the georgia version of this law has nothing to do with. 2 car, what, why do you think the governing dream party introduce this proposal given its had so much opposition? is it out of touch with what the georgian people want? was it trying? it's luck here. well, yesterday's to get those protests have shown how much children population is frustrated by this more. and obviously we know about the support for european and europe want the configuration within georgia. it's very, very high. and what i mean by this is that i do believe that the law or in ages fund the mentally controversial to georgia ration to join europe, ian and us trust hers. so i think the partially, the government has, has seen the pressure to have the pressure and,

and major miscalculation is yet to see what was the actual goal. so there are different different opinions about that. but one thing to clear that does not serve any sorts of transparency and an openness when it comes to a purpose. that is not a s s. korea. joining us live from tbilisi there. thank you very much for your time . thank you for having me. malaysia is former prime minister. well you than your son has been arrested by anti corruption investigators. he's due to be charged to court on friday. the charges include abuse of power and money laundering. will you deem of prime minister for 17 months between 20202021. he and his party have faith multiple investigations and losing elections to an alliance led by. unlike abraham in november, france, louis has more. we it in yes, in is being questioned for corruption in relation to

a coven 19 stimulus program that was introduced when he was prime minister, known several individuals belonging to his political party broadsoft to have already been charged for corruption together with 2 businessman. the anti corruption agency also froze his parties, accounts in january. now in december, the prime minister of malaysia, who is also the finance minister, annoyed by him, said the finance ministry had discovered there was severe breaches of procedure in relation to around a $150000000000.00 worth of government funds during we had in jackson's administration now, the opposition bo says that the investigation against sweden is nothing but political persecution were you didn't, came into power in a rather controversial way. he was part of the then government, which was seen as more reform minded, but he led a group of empties to defect that topple. but then government led by martha muhammad,

who had in agreement to transfer power to on more abraham. and that transfer power never took place. now meeting us in came close to the see to power again after the last elections in november produced a hung parliament weed and claimed he had the support of the majority in parliament and was jostling for top leadership position. but eventually lost out to annoy him . the current prime minister we didn't support to say, we hadn't is clearly a political rival. and that this is a way to remove him as a threat. and it's nothing more than a political persecution to indonesia. now where 2 people have been convicted for their roles and the stadium stampede that killed a 135 people, the caution belong city happened last october, as described as one of the worst football disasters in history and investigation found the main cause was police firing tear gas into the stands. judges have sentenced a football official to a year and a half in prison. and given a one year sentence to

a security officer. jessica washington has more from jakarta. these 2 men were matched officials and their defense as long argued that. yes, they may have been some capacity issues at the country, 200 stadium where 43000 tickets were sold for the match that night on october 1st. but previously there had never been safety incident, such as the tragedy that unfolded and that the blame should be placed on the police who gave orders to fire tear gas at a close stadium. but prosecutors argued that it was the responsibility of match officials as well. those local match, officials had the responsibility to ensure that the stadium was safe and that spectators had a safe avenues to evacuate as needed. there. some shock and disbelief that cut a tragedy where a 135 lives were lost, where almost 600 people were injured and 38th children under the age of 17, lost their lives in this tragedy that such a tragedy could be minimized. 2 sentences that the,

this of the relatives of those who lost their lives, say, 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 time for check on the world. whether his jess, there is a risk of further flooding across the us state of california is another happening. ferric river sets up high there by the way. so this is a narrow, concentrated band of rain that extends from the ocean to land. already see the effects of it on thursday. we can trace this out to around hawaii shut stretching right across the pacific and this moisture afield. believe it or not, extend some 4000 kilometers. it's going to dump all that rain and snow into california over the next little bit. the risk of seen some flooding across the

southern plains, in the us southeast with this batch of what, whether it's not rain but snow. we're talking about across the upper midwest. these 2 systems are going to combine that's going to spread of swath of snow eventually making its way to new england. back to the west coast, we go and some rounds of rain to go for the coast of oregon. so, a soggy forecast there on thursday, the breezy conditions around hit spend your la in the u. s. virgin island. so we're talking about waves, about 4 meters high off the coast there. and there has been some deadly fighting for western ecuador, and the rain still falling, still be down in that same area over the next little bit. we've got some showers in storms in the forecast for bio blanca with the high of 28 degrees on thursday. ok, got a dash soon, a bit to the head on the new south, thousands of women protest in the streets of chile calling for gender parity and the new constitution. and the catch of the day, the baseball field,

who refused to let go of the board. that's coming up in school with jemma ah, join the debate. we know that the sector team is empowered by the government and they, in by the government today, they are the government africans. how security is also global help security on an online, at your voice. there is no right to defense, there is no right to protest. we can't just keep relying on aid. there has to be some work towards a sustainable economy. at the end of the day, it is ordinary objects that are paying the price. listerine on al jazeera, the latest news, as it breaks from it's still the favorite here among the grass roots and, and many of the polled the be the republican presidential nominee with detailed coverage fire has stronger applied back on the struggle based on daily basis by everyone here from around the world,

fire didn't go to the 1st to cause of this trade was so hot. it may have cremated the victims exactly where they were killed. lou ah ah, who watching the news out me and is it a pull on them and dough hot reminder about top stories, the sour, the u. s. defense secretary has caught shorter trip to israel because he protests over the government's plan, changes to the legal system. lloyd austin's visit will be limited to the grounds of ben curry, an airport demonstrate his have been protesting for more than 2 months against the plan or before which aims to limit the judiciary powers, legislatures in georgia. so that withdraw on a controversial bill that critics had feared with silos,

the media and opponents. thousands of people have been protesting against the proposed law. and to please see, at least 5 people have been killed in ukraine after a badge of russian missile strikes. monster, the death were in the western region of nevada. energy facilities were targeted. so renew accusations about the possible involvement of pro ukrainian group and the attack on the north stream gas pipeline. last year, german media. se western investigators believe a 6 person team launched from germany plant to the explosives. ukrainian authorities have denied any involvement. hurry for such 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 billy stuart, he's a, 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 juan without the knowledge of the government. but i caution against jumping to conclusions. and 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 that 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 ed offense and tanks to cave. hurry, full, sit al jazeera, to have gone install now where taliban governor has been killed in a suicide bombing in northern gone is that happen inside the office of mohammedan was on that month that he should eat and the problems of bulk is the 1st time the thought about governor has been killed since the group took control of have gone on in 2021. several other people have said to have been injured in the explosion. they have been several attacks targeted fall about officials since they took part 2 years ago. and september last year, an explosion ripped through mos can the northwest and province of herat, killing 18 people, including a prominent clara close to the taliban. in october, a suicide bomb attack had a government ministry and couple killing at least 4 people haven't january another suicide. bomb attack target at the afghan foreign ministry in the capital, at least at 20 people there died. most of the attacks have been claimed by an

broached. gordon said, look, there must be some police protection. after a closely fort presidential election, nigerians returned to poland stations next week to elect state governors. 28 seats will be decided along with hundreds of seat seats for state assembly members. but as i will address reports from gumby, the governing party faces a tougher challenge. this time nigeria is recent presidential election, has chicken habits governing party. although it won the vote, it has also lost a lot of ground to the opposition in battle ground states like colonel and only see the losses could spread to the next round of election for some state. governors of this government do not perform because they do mobile more the need of the people or the after his papa. i want the upgrade, they are confused. now judas, governing party is in charge in the northern state of grumpy. the governor acknowledges the setbacks of the presidential election,

but says his party is unfazed by us top and open the ship. well, we'll comfortable and no, let's see what comes out of the governor seat that is coming up. i believe if you see 2 was in when most it and at least men 10, what they will have before was state governors and legislatures closer to voters of the presidency and the parliament. these elections are expected to draw more waters rising follows property and economic decline have brought hardship to many and i get it. this has generated anger and voter apathy in the pebble returned to play with them. now as they go to the boys again, some more to say that 11 is better presented for that dismal performance in auburn . in nigeria, the office of governor carries a lot of responsibilities, but also wills a lot of power. including helping to decide who becomes president, reasons that political parties,

he had desperately what to keep the states the old. and when more, how many degrees al jazeera wemby nigeria. greek, prosecutors have charged 3 more railway officials and connection with the countries worst. train crash last month that killed $57.00 people. a public sector unions have been protesting since the commission and with an election due name. there are broader grievances. john serrato, last reports from athens. greek use, 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 the young who grew up in the 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. 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. this 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 accident 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. no, get rid 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 dis, to sanction. and they so largely left swaying opposition generation protest. however, there is true nation wide discontent as well because the government and the state 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 run over. 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
