in the regional elections in spain, a dental in seattle sack warehouse, the 1st got k, no spaces appears, didn't, it can faces grandma and i got a, a mile. i hear call you. but they were threat like your mother if you made some modeling, not me. it as a newly elected m. p serene confronts policy makers at the heart of the european union with his findings. ah, israelis protesting against the government's judicial reforms block rose to the come feast main airport. disrupting a visit by the us defense secretary ah,

on the ball here, this is al jazeera alive from london. also coming up. russia launch is a new wave of missile strikes across ukraine, killing at least 6 civilians and knocking out power, including to this upper region nuclear plant. if we allow these to continue time after time, then one day our lack, we run out a georgians, the sewer processing, despite the government dropping plans for a foreign agent. more similar to russia's. and we look at denmark's project to carbon dioxide out of the air. and stored under the sea and depleted oil fields. ah, we begin in israel where the president isaac heard song says benjamin netanyahu. government should abandon its judicial reform plan in favor of a model,

broad support. it comes on the day, the us defense secretary met netanyahu and his defense minister. you have galant, and urge them to take steps to reduce tensions in the occupied west bank. austin is on a regional tool, but his trip to israel was cut short by the growing protest against the government's judicial reforms. a man con reports from western islam. tel aviv was brought to a standstill as protest is blocked, roads and highways. seems like this repeated across israel and just let the highways they want to block the judicial reform bill the would if pass did the can i said the ability to overrule some supreme court decisions. ah, a power the protest to say is anti democratic. the protest. so widespread, they disrupted the visit of usa khatri of defense, lloyd austin. he was supposed to arrive on wednesday, but that was changed at the request of these riley's meetings like this would normally take place at the ministry of defense. instead,

the venue was televi. tv's main, airports and prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his team had to be brought in by helicopter. soon, after the meeting, the prime minister treated saying that they spoke about the threats of a wrong israel. and it was a united front on iran as well. both the u. s. secretary of defense and these really defense minister spoke to the media you and aims to gain nuclear weapons and threatened not only as well, but the entire world, whether it's worth noting the iran insists as nuclear program is strictly for civilian purposes. you a secretary of defense, however, did bring up the issue of a recent violence in the occupied westbank. i remain concerned about what we're seeing in terms of those escalation of violence. and i did discuss her those concerns with her with my colleagues. ah, and we're urging every one to a,

deescalate her in terms of activities in the, in the was fine. our focus remains on working with israel and the palestinians, and other regional partners to deescalate and restore call. but despite that concern from the u. s. navy nightly rates by the israeli army continued the occupied westbank as does the protest movement against the proposed judicial changes. the govern refers to the protest as his attic hiss and says that they anti democratic. but that's not stopping the protesters from coming out on to the streets has been 10 weeks now and the protests are just getting bigger. it is putting prime minister benjamin netanyahu under a tremendous amount of pressure, but he's sticking to his guns. he says that this bill will become low emron khan al jazeera west roseland, and a district police commander in tel aviv has been removed from his role and

reassigned to a new position because of the ongoing protest. the change was announced by national security minister have been given the test as clash with police across israel earlier during the so called day of resistance against the proposed judicial reforms. and im ranken joins is live now from occupied injury slim and imre more more can you tell us about this sir? high profile, sucking. what is a high profile sacking, but it might not be a sacking this the police say is just a routine reshuffling of command is positions. the district commander of tel aviv has been given a training position. i am the police have left at that. however, it's about bank of it has long had problems where the police in television, he says they're not tough enough against the protesters that the protesters are being able to block roads, block highways. they're basically running roughshod all over the police at. but the

senior police commanders have said to been given that he is just the national security minister, the on the ground tactics when it comes to the police are down to their district command is done to the people on the ground. said this may well be a compromise sacking, although it's just a moving of one man to from one job to another. it may well be a compromise that been give areas go out of his senior police officers because he is so angry at the way the protesters are brought places like tel aviv haifa, west drew slim to a standstill during this these protest movement. so although it is very significant in israel, it may not be exactly the kind of thing, the bank of it, once it might not be the high profile 2nd he wanted, but it might just be the 2nd. he was able to get any more on given all the disruption cools, especially to lloyd austin's visit. and the cool, now from the president, does it look like the protest is, could be achieving the aims?

well, the sunny law of prussia on benjamin netanyahu right now. but he has a majority of raise a thin majority in the government. if the coalition holds firm and it seems to be a holding firm, all those fall right and peace, i've got massive concessions out of benjamin netanyahu. and they all century, backing him to the hill, he could well be able to policy this judicial reform bill. now the reform bill is very controversial because it allows that the kinessa the parliament to overturn supreme court decisions. now some supreme court, this isn't the old of them, but allows him allows the connect it to be able to do that. and that's why it's being seen as anti democratic. it is all is, well, doesn't have a 2nd house of government. like for example, the u. k, where you have the house of lords or america where you have the senate. it's the supreme court really, that kind of fulfills that rolls. that's why it's such a controversial thing. so yes, he's under tremendous amount of pressure. as mo protest is out on the street every

single week, but politically speaking, he might be able to pass this bill if the coalition holds any miranda, amidst all of these posts as we are now? hearing the medics according to his ready media, been treating 2 people wounded in tel aviv amidst a shooting. do we know anything else about that? yes, i'm just saying that is the same time as you guys a thing that we don't know what the cause of that is. it's television, it may well be criminal and it may well be political. we don't know. so as soon as i have more details on that, i'll let you know. all right for now in remedy. thanks for that. im ranken live in altamont. east jerusalem. one of the occupied west bank violence continues to escalate. funerals have been held for 3 palestinian fighters killed by a ready forces in jabber unless south of janine witnesses say the man was shot in their car by snipers, on rooftops. early on thursday morning,

's nuclear watchdog demanding action to avoid

a potential disaster at the plant. charlie angela has more 700 kilometers from any battlefield west of live. if a russian missiles struck this house while the family slept, killing 5 civilians, some still buried by the bricks. the family i blew up with lily's cavellas. my sister called me and said that a rocket head or fell on my other sister's house. she said our whole year taught us and flowed a mirror under the rubble. so they still haven't found them hard and we were hoping that they're alive, but they're not alive. perryville, it was a little russia launched 81 missiles across a sleeping ukraine early on thursday. hitting infrastructure and residential buildings in 10 regions including keith, ukraine's air force. they stopped almost half of the missiles, but 6 were hypersonic, traveling up to 8 kilometers a 2nd. the type ukraine can't intercept. many homes were left without power. and the japanese, your nuclear plant was off grid for several hours before being reconnected.

prompting a start warning from the international atomic energy agency. this is the largest nuclear power station in europe operating for the 6 time and their emergency diesel generators. what are we doing? each time we are rolling a dice, and if we allow these to continue time after time, then one day our luck will run out and cast sun. 3 people were killed waiting for a bus or me, no good mom. so but so it is just 50 steps away from my house. i feel so sorry for yonah, she was such a good girl, and more people died in cost deanton, if colonel on yet residence, clear up, the feel overwhelmed by the destruction would not be road horak. they're destroying our city, destroying the police every day. there is shelling every day, geron evening, morning all the time. and here are the results of the shelling. everybody is in

shock. sure. everybody is afraid to see 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 a saying in eastern europe, the president of belarus as extended the nation's death penalty to cover officials found guilty of high treason. alexander lucas shanker has signed the new law as part of what's described as a fight against extremist, an anti state crimes is also bringing in laws similar to those in russia for making discrediting the armed forces a criminal offense. bruce is russia's closest ally and the ukraine war, allowing his territory to be used as a base for the initial invasion of protest as

a back on the streets of george's capital tbilisi for a 3rd night. as despite the government saying it's dropping a controversial bill, opponents of the so called foreign agents law say it would silence independent media and criticism of the ruling party who protested a vow to keep demonstrating until this proof the bill has actually pulled jehovah ports o 3rd night of protests in the jordan capital tbilisi, despite a government promised to withdraw draft legislation that opposition media and civil society group said would stifle press freedom and silence dissent. oh no one was taking the government at its word. i came upon them. the fight will continue until these bills are withdrawn and even the minimum legal opportunity to reverse that decision is rolled out. for many, the draft bill has echoes of russian legislation criminalizing foreign funded media

and ngos. it would force those receiving more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents or face heavy fines. and there are concerns, it might jeopardize george's pro western aspirations. we're ready to go on with the protest because it's not about that particular organization. it's about george in europe and in your atlantic aspiration and we're not, we're not going to put that on that issue on their question. wednesday night so violent confrontations with police using t a gas water cannon and stung grenades. and even his protest has gathered again, the ruling georgia dream party chairperson, spelled out the plan to kill off the bill. oh, good fish. i got those are going with the legislation will come out for it 2nd hearing and it will fail. let me once again my dis, political statement, the law will fail because no one will vote for it that will procedurally resolve

the issue with the party denied it had an anti europe agenda, blaming, fake news, and the deliberate efforts of the opposition to link its draft legislation to russia, prime minister directly gary bash really had said the law once enacted would help route out those working against george's interests. interests that appear to differ from those on the street journal al jazeera, still to come this half hour. the u. s. senate grills train companies over rail safety of last month derailment, and toxic spill. and an unexpected aid initiative. why cars sees from truck drivers in latvia being shipped to ukraine. ah, european will as begin contrast at the moment though the cloud seems to gain from

west to east. what it's actually doing is running along a frontal system. north of that is arctic air and south of it is really quite mild . so a laureate, you either get heavy, rain or snow and it's been snow's been the case and disruptive snow for the british isles. i think the see the same in the low countries, northern germany, and particularly baltic states over the next day or so. but south of it, or whether wind is coming from the south, it has been remarkably war. change has been dramatic, crossed turkey, the caucasus less so in ukraine. but look at just an hour, for example. and book arrest is temperatures are reminiscent of late spring, not the end of winter. that course with some of that suddenly breeze is plenty more moisture. so you get rained in turkey or grease the balkans, occasionally, italy, and particularly the north of spain and france, which after winter of drought, is probably welcome. so there is the pictures. it sits then on saturday, as jump south. we needn't worry about snow or rave, the atlas mountains any more. the rains in the form of increasing showers are

coming slowly, knowles, but the ha madison. this seasonal wind is baby moral faces increase in its strength, blowing sand and dust into chattanooga. now, jerry and bobby, ah, the water scarcity has become a major global issue. the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down, turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit. just because it's life doesn't mean it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can't afford it? that guy told me it's water. al jazeera examines the social financial and environmental impact of war to privatization notes. if water on al jazeera, ah

ah, around the top stories he went out to 03 people who've been injured in a shooting in televi eve. israel police say the shooter has been neutralized or large numbers of police or medical workers still at the scene. meanwhile, israel's president says the government should abandon its judicial reform plan in favor of a model with broad support that comes on the day. the us defense secretary meant prime minister benjamin netanyahu and urged him to take steps to reduce tensions the occupied westbank. and at least 6 civilians have been killed across ukraine. off to russia launched a new wave of missile strikes. several cities were hastened. powell was again knocked out at europe's largest nuclear power plot separation. okay, we'll just return now to him. ron conner occupied east jerusalem given that we now

have a bit more information about the shooting in televi for in rob. what more can you tell us? well it happened in the last hour or so. ah, the israeli place of confirmed the the shooter has been neutralized, been utilized that they language that him being shot dead. they say that 3 people were actually injured that the mare of televi, evil diet lipkin is being quoted by israeli public radio. thank. i was in phone about a terrorist incident. i requested i stopped on the security forces, do their work. they were on the scene very, very quickly. now just to give you the geography of the area, deezen golf street is actually a very popular, very busy street in central televi full of bars and restaurants. it's thursday nights that's the beginning of the weekend here in israel. so it would have been packed with people. we don't know who the shooter actually is, but once again,

we do know that the israeli police are holding miss a terrorist attack. it sent me a very grave incident coming after a day of protest within telephone itself. so television would have had a local people in it and then normal, like i say, when you're in decent golf street, you're out the balls, you're at the restaurants or at the cafes, it would have been a very pac street. so this would have been about a coming up to peak time, really? so like i say the police are confirming that the shooter is now dead and the 3 people are injured or on him ran. i'm sure you be following the story very closely as we get more information, a bronco live unoccupied, east jerusalem, thanks. now the u. s. senate is holding a hearing on the derailment of a train in ohio that was carrying hazardous materials last month. senators, one answers on rail safety after a string of recent derailments on wednesday, another freight train crashed in west virginia, enjoying 3 people, dumping fuel into a river. the transportation department says it's taking immediate steps to improve

accountability and safety. and the company running the trains. norfolk southern apologized in the senate saying it would clean up the site of the crash. i've been to east palestine many times. over the past month. i've talked with the leaders, the business owners, the school officials, the clergy and others throughout the community. they shared their stories and their concerns about the health of their families and the future of the community. they love. i am determined to make this right. norfolk southern will cleaned the site safely, thoroughly. and with urgency, you have my personal commitment. patty, go ahead, is live on this from capitol hill, patty, as we were saying that the crash triggered public outrage with residents and lawmakers demanding answers from norfolk southern was the company had to say

well, i 1st i just want to tell you this is going was going to be horrible timing for the norfolk southern ceo allen shaw. he was already going to have a pretty bad day getting girl by senators. but just thursday, another one of his trains derailed this kind of alabama about 30 cards. so far we don't think any, a toxic substances spewed in the atmosphere like that. what happened in east palestine, ohio, early february, and that's what this said. it was hearing was really looking at and shot for his part said look, that we're spending this many millions on clean up in this many millions giving money to the community, into businesses. what some center said though, is that still not enough? one sen pressed, he said look, home values have plummeted in this small ohio town, or you going to make up that last for years. people, after all, he said american home values is really the biggest source of their savings. and he wouldn't commit to doing that. the same time,

there were other senators who wanted to focus now that when northern southern are spending now, but what they've spent their money on in the past, in 10 years, norfolk southern eliminated 38 percent of its workforce. think of that in a decade. they cut worth in a 3rd of their jobs. we seen what the company did with their massive profits. norfolk southern spent $3400000000.00 on stock buybacks last year. we're planning to do even more this year. ready that's money that could have gone to hiring inspectors up to putting more hot box detectors along its real lines, to having more workers available to repair cars in retail, retail tracks repair tracks. norfolk southern profits have gone up and up and up and look what happened. apache, i'm guessing confidence of nations. railways has been seriously undermined by this . what does it all mean for away safety going forward? well, it means they now have the attention of the u. s. congress. there's been this bipartisan

legislation. that's all you make its way through the senate and it, it refers to, one of the provisions refers to where he just called this hot mark centers. so basically, and next to train lines there, these sensors, they can tell if wheel bearings are overheating. in the case in ohio, there were 3 different sensors over the course of about 30 kilometers, and each center gradually saw that the wheel bearing was overheating. but norfolk southern own system doesn't alert the conductors in till it was too late. the train was already derailed and on fire. so they want to see right in this new red new legislation. they would have regulations on those centers, how close they have to be. they want to change that. i'm a heard that 2 people have to be aboard every train that will make car case safer to they really push the ceo. would you commit to these changes? and throughout the course of many hours of hearing, he just said, we simply would not proceed. many thanks for that patty, co hain life and capitol hill. and as you company say, they've discovered

a technique to capture the carbon dioxide produced during the pumping of oil and gas. and this week denmark became the 1st country to ship industrial c o. 2 across international borders, and so it permanently under ground for environmental purposes. but critics, a, it's a distraction from real issues and the ecological impact is unproven. so here's how it works. carbon dioxide gases. so top from large industries such as incineration plants is transformed into a liquid and shipped out to for more oil rigs at sea. and then injected into disuse, oil wells and sealed up would scientists saying the c t will eventually become rock for reefs? went to denmark, to see if the technique known as carbon capture and storage could really work. ah, 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 disused danish oil

wells under the north sea that to be stored fraternity by energy companies with a climate conscience. it's nothing else than reversing the flow and taking c o 2 and preventing that from going into the atmosphere with rather storage under 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 need, if we're having at the plants and at 0, we're now starting to take the 1st year to lottie regulation. it was denmark getting the congratulations on tuesday when it's project greensand claim to weld 1st for carbon capture and storage, or c, c. s. the carbon dioxide was brought from belgium to denmark on this ship taken out to the north sea and injected some 2 kilometers under ground. officials here believe they can store up to $8000000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. both the european union and united nations now want to develop ccs globally. this facility in stock homes 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 theater from the flu, gas s of a combined heat and power plant at to process that use industrial baking soda. we do the same thing as in a baking oven. we increase the temperature and the baking soda releases the theme of c 2. that is stand separated from the rest of the flu gases at that see 2, we can compress transport and store as good as burying c o 2 might sound environmentalist. 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 pro, is it costs energy, it costs money, it cost resources. what we should do instead reduce logging rates, trys would sequester much more carbon at a much lower cost if we would invest all these funds in energy efficiency, we would get locked mor bang for bucks. so this whole thing is

a pipe dream. then mocks 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, poorest out his error as biog, denmark. in avenues, latvia is sending an unusual form of aid to ukraine. car sees from drunk drivers have been delivered after new road safety initiative. the 1st batch of 7 cars is already on its way of volunteer organization plans to send 24 every week as donations to the ukrainian military and hospitals. more than 200 cars have been confiscated from drunk drivers in latvia in the past 2 months for exceeding expectations, and creating a storage issue. the government initially planned to auction them off before being contacted by an aide agency known as twitter convoy. still a have this hour will bring you more on the shooting in tennessee were 3 people have been injured.
