defense minister you. i've got lots near televi tv's been gorey on airport. israel is a major strategic partner for the united states. and that very special relationship began when president truman became the 1st world leader to recognize the state of israel. 11 minutes after it was form. and that was some 75 years ago in our bond is rooted in far more than just shared interest. it's rooted in the shared values of democracy and freedom and the rule of law. i know that i remember i read out and there was a confrontation between a protester and israel. security minutes have been de vere outside the airport. and demonstrators blocked main junctions across israel, as part of a national day of resistance. they said they were trying to slow down traffic in a bid, the stop prime minister benjamin netanyahu from boarding

a flight to rome. netanyahu had to be airlifted to the airport and were on con, has more now from west jerusalem. the focus is on one thing and wanting only in that iran, and that's been reiterated by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. immediately after their private meeting tweeted that this was all about iran that that was the really the focus of the meeting walked at yahoo! gallant has been saying that iran should be stocked up at by any means possible from getting a nuclear weapon. it's worth noting, heather, iran has always maintained that. it's a civilian and nuclear program is exactly that just for civilian purposes, but that's never satisfied. israel is right is always said that this is about stopping iran from getting a nuclear weapon. lloyd austin, his counterpart is american counterpart, had a slightly softer take on it said that they were committed to israel security that they would stand shoulder to shoulder with israel and they were given all the support that it needed. now it's worth noting here as well, the u. s. gives,

is wrong $3500000000.00 a year in military aid alone. so those are the kinds of those kind of words that were used when it came to iran, but certainly the way both sides were selling this meeting was it was about iran that all the publican messaging ad there is coming out of this or is all i'd be just about around. meanwhile in the occupied westbank, there's been escalating violence in the past few days. is really forces killed 3 palestinians in java. south of janine early on thursday. they were traveling in a car that witness to say was targeted by snipers on rooftops. israel says the palestinians were fighters carrying weapons and explosives that abraham is at the java refugee camp in southern journey. we knew graves were dug up here in just after 3 palestinians were shots and killed by israeli forces earlier today. just

warfare, destroying, or city destroying the bill every day. there is shelling every day general evening . morning. are you all the time? and here are the results of the shelling. everybody is in shock. sure. everybody is afraid to see, but we have no words to describe it to the address. i go to bed and i don't know if i will wake up the next day. elsewhere in the east, the battle for back murder is intensifying with the russian saying they now control the east of the besieged city. the ukrainian military though, still hanging on for now, but russia has reminded ukraine with this latest set of strikes. it has the ability to strike anywhere. charlie, angela, i'll desert while the war is taking place in ukraine. political conversations are happening on the side lines. the russian and saudi foreign ministers have been holding talks in moscow. and in addition to the armed conflict, energy cooperation was on the agenda. russia also said that saudi arabia has played a role in enabling prisoner swaps. journalist daniel hawkins,

had been following those meetings in moscow from going to 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 agreements collaborative saying that those agreements in place would last at least until the end of this year, been for han also reiterating the importance of coordinating energy policy with russia to stabilize energy market. so both sides also gave each of the credit for their efforts in mediating, in regional complex, like the war given. and he's very poorly fit in complex. but of course, ukraine was the biggest automotive agenda saga level revealing saudi arabia had been involved in multiple prisoner of war exchanges with 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 at to resolve the the, you quite in conflicts through diplomatic means. legislators in georgia say they will drop a controversial bill that many feared would silence independent media and critics. thousands of people have been protesting against this bill. modeled on the lines of a russian law in the capital to the lisi. jonah ho reports. after 2 days of protests, a spiraling battle against government plans to curb civil liberties in georgia may have been pulled from the brink. the ruling party announced that it would step back from draft legislation. that protest is said, echoed a civil society crackdown in russia, but no one is taking that for granted. we just want to fulfill our dreams and we want to finish the job that was started 2 days ago. of course, it's great news that they want to cancel, but the order to it and if it will be canceled,

we will be happy. georgia and opposition leaders treated the government announcement with extreme caution to the early in the morning georgians. republic said that they, they are ready to cancel the rush and provoke the profit the people process in the villages. we do not believe in the quality pavement because we have very bad experience that georgia public, georgia, i believe several time wednesday night, so violent confrontations with police using gas, water, cannon, and stun grenades. the protest is insisted the so called transparency of foreign funding bill, supported by many m. p. 's on tuesday, would stifle press freedom silence descent and compromise. the former soviet countries chances of joining nato and the e u. the bill requires

n jose and media outlets receiving more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents or face heavy fines and 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 use a late ga, the draft bill have the backing of the governing georgia dream party. i mean, chaotic seem to parliament, the prime minister directly gary bus really said it would help route out those working against george's interests. interests that appear to differ from those on the streets. joe hall al jazeera for us senate is holding a hearing above the derailment of the train in ohio that was carrying hazardous

materials last month senators will likely demand answers on rail safety after a string of recent derailments. in fact, on wednesday, another freight train crashed in west virginia, this one injuring 3 people and dumping fuel into a river. the department of transportation says it's taking immediate steps to improve accountability and safety as go live to patty co haines. she is following this on capitol hill. you've been listening in to this hearing. what's happening? well i have to say as far as these senate hearings template typically typically go, especially when you're dealing with the e p a, the environmental protection agency and a ceo of a company that caused this to round. that really said chemicals feeling all over and i'll hire town. they're usually pretty intense, pretty heated. that was not the case. that was really not the case today. they i that could be because andy shot the ceo of norfolk southern has come out right off

the bat and said it is their responsibility. apologize profusely promised to be there for the long haul. the e p a's get its fair share of grief because they are largely seen as being really slow to get information of the community and community because of that, the senator se still distrust the information. so the e p. a keep saying everything safe, but the people in east palestine, they differently many of them don't believe it in ways of this hearing isn't just about calling these people to account. it's also about trying to set the momentum for this bill. this bipartisan senate bill that they wanted to pass to really impose stricter regulations on the railroad industry. and we heard one of the bill sponsors make the case. pretty passionate. they are people who feel like they have no way to stand up to a company like norfolk southern in are worried about what will happen when the cam is pack up and leave that columbia county community. these communities have been

abandoned to many times before my job. our job is to hear their voice and to demand corporate accountability to bring this town back to the vibrant community. we know that it can be again now this bill would do a several things. it would mandate that there'd be a 2 person cruise on cars. it would have to have more of these heat detectors which worked in the case of ohio. but basically by the time an alarm was sound, it was simply too late. and they would also have to rapidly improve the safety of the cars that the roberts are carrying. interestingly, they've been trying to get to see of norfolk southern to say that he fully embraces the bill. basically jose, as some of it, you can probably go with some of it. that's not the end of the senator's one here. so it looks like it's getting growing bipartisan support in the senate. the challenge is probably going to be in the house side. that's where republicans are in charge and they tend to be more against regulation of companies when they're done with how to come right. patty on capitol hill. thank you very much. still

went to denmark to see the technique known as carbon capture and storage. it's a process being billed as a breakthrough in the fight against climate change, carbon dioxide, harvested from industrial emissions in europe and injected into disuse. danish oil wells under the north sea that to be stored fraternity by energy companies with a climate conference. it's nothing else than refreshing the flow and taking c o 2 and preventing that from going into the atmosphere, but rather storing on there under the ground. we're going to do it to mitigate climate change. i think that is a huge step forward. if you think about the multitude of solutions we'll meet whenever we get the planet for that 0, we are now starting the 1st him to not be regulation. it was denmark getting the congratulations on tuesday when it's project green fund, claimed a world 1st for carbon capture and storage or ccf. the carbon dioxide was brought from belgium to denmark on this ship taken out to the north sea and injected some 2

kilometers underground. officials here believe they can store up to $8000000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. both to european you need, i'm generated nations now want to develop ccf globally. this facility in stock comb is being tested as a joint vacuum cleaner for c o. 2. aiming to clean up the same amount produced by a year of traffic in the swedish capital. we separate c o 2 from the flu, gas s of a combined heat and power plants at to process that use industrial baking soda. we do the same thing as a baking of and we increase the temperature and the baking. so the release is the same of you to that is separated from the rest of the flu gases that c to we can compress, transport and store as good as burying c o. 2 might sound environmentalists see it as an excuse not to face out fossil fuels. the attraction of this is that everything can continue as normal and nothing needs to be done by anyone. it just magically is removed, but this magic has a price. it cost energy, it costs money,

it cost resources. what we should do instead reduce logging rates. trees would sequester much more carbon at a much lower cost if we would invest all these funds in energy efficiency, we would get a lot more bang for bucks. so this whole thing is a pipe dream. benmark carbon storage is the 1st in the world of its kind in scale, but whether it takes off may depend on making it profitable. a full scale project could start next year. poor reese al jazeera as b r g denmark. and then that said from me, cyril, then yay. the news continues here on l 0 after inside story do say to ah, so we've got some what, whether toward the top end of the golf. hi there, let me show you. so this is given us a big drop in temperature is 40 weights at 22 degrees. winds are also shifting
