1:07 pm
i was very surprised when i read that there has been a some like this one in 5 years. so how significant is this? well, it says very significant indeed because as you say, there hasn't been a summit like this in 5 years. so the fact that is actually taking place is a critical, very important it is being seen very much as an opportunity to reset ties that have been terribly strained over the past few years, particularly since briggs, it with disputes are the things like a fishing rights in the english channel see conveyed and also the arcus a submarine contract. but as i said, this is really, are being seen as an opportunity to turn a new page. those are the words of the lease a palace. now, there are a few reasons for this. the working relationship between the british prime minister, where she sumac and the french present it man on a macro, suddenly much better than macros. a relationship with their previous british prime
1:08 pm
ministers, boys, johnson, unless trust. but there's also ukraine. ukraine has really been a catalyst for london and paris to come closer to find common ground if you like, and common cause in a working on ukraine. now what we are expecting from macro and soon ac is that they will make some announcements about ukraine, possibly some announcements in which both the u. k and france might choose to train ukrainian forces jointly joint exercises. so need more help for keith. what are you expecting on me, the hot button issue of migration because of course, the prime minister, british prime minister wishes to next taken a very hard line on that. he needs frances help. and so for what they've done over the last few years hasn't really stem the flow of asylum seekers and migrants crossing the channel. yes, look, cross channel migration is so even one of those topics that has
1:09 pm
a constantly caused tensions between london and paris. now we know, as you've mentioned, that richey snack is proposing a law in the united kingdom on to which people arriving a by small boat illegally in the u. k. from a france won't be allowed to apply for asylum. what will the lease say? says he is so far that it won't necessarily affect will have a major impact on france. but what we do know is the macro and soon like we'll be discussing this migration flow if you like. and certainly france is expected to ask the u. k. to pledge more financial support over the coming years to try to bolster fraud says northern coast, where natasha butler reporting live from paris. thank you very much. now, judges, parliament has dropped a bill. the protesters feared, would silence the media and opposition. the bill would have forced media and en jose who received more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents. tens of thousands of protesters were out in the streets for 3 days
1:10 pm
straight. they had warned that the bill was moved towards russia and away from the west. bernard smith joined the slide now from lucy on this part of the protesters of unquestionably one despite that they had with the ruling party. will this put the matter to bed? no. we spoke to some of the protest is after parliament killed the spell that only passed it on tuesday and we set to them . do you think that the government will keep its word? now? people are suspicious. office spacious of the government. they view it as a sort of a pro russian government. the protesters were very pleased obviously, but after 2 nights of tens of thousands of people on the streets and then followed by thursday after the government promised to kill a bill by then. people very please obviously, so they got their way and they, they say they see the power of the street and how he's managed to influence the
1:11 pm
government. but still here outside parliament, the law has now been on his vote if it kills the bill, that just keeping a presence outside parliament as we started writing this picture that i got at the heart of all of this was the fear by many georgians. that the present government is moving the country closer towards russia. what's, what's where we landing on that? well, i think many people see the hand of russia in this, the kremlin, asked specifically about the bill. says is nothing to do with it. it's called up. it has nothing to do with it, but he's called an agent, a foreign influence bill. and many people have see it. believe it muddled on the same sort of bill that was used in russia and used to crack down on all sorts of opposition groups. and the bill in russia essentially stopped opposition. groups from operating in human rights watch setting would have owners reporting
1:12 pm
requirements on inspections, on everything from non governmental organizations. election monitors, corruption monitors and independent media. anybody who do more than 20 percent of the funding from foreign organizations. a government said it was a way of meat finding spies when the country and a way of reaching out foreign influence. but everybody here was suspicious of the hand of russia, georgia dream, the ruling party. its leader, is an oligarchy. the richest man in georgia who made his billions in the years after the collapse of the soviet union. so they see that influences wow. burnett's been reporting from police. the thank you very much. plenty more head on the news hour, including dozens killed in an attack by allied democratic forces fighters, the democratic republic of congo, understand human at the chilly to lydia border. and what you see here is what's become one of the main smuggling roots of undocumented migrates. here the attack on

1:15 pm
collapsing. this looks lesson. obviously. your head is also reacted thing. the operation in television destroy design is security system and dealt. busy blow to it. now they're all phase of escalation from $77.00 palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the year. it's likely that this attack will spot more israeli rates, and those are occurring on a nightly basis in the occupied westbank. enron. khan. how does era occupied east jerusalem? israeli forces have detained 2 relatives of the suspected palestinian gunman. the raid took place in the village of near lean in the occupied west bank. so let's go live to nit abraham then who joined us from ramallah and this need to tell us about this is really rate according to witnesses in the, in the really 4th is stayed there for more than 6 hours. they became the father and the brother of the shooter, and they took the measurements of the house of fish. we are now. it's
1:16 pm
a standard israeli policy. now, whenever an israeli person is killed that their house will be demolished by is when the forces. now we know that india, i can tell of, you know, people have been declared killed yet, but it's remains a tense situation in general because there is this policy of palestinians called collective punishment, which is really forces demolish the house of the perpetrators. even if it's related to the family, of course, there is no funeral in lyn because israel with schools the body of the perpetrator . as for these really policy also interesting that there was another body that was supposed to be handed over for burial in 19. it was for a person who was killed by israeli forces 3 years ago. but given the incense situation is really forces have back track and said they're not going to be delivering the body for burial in that in today. look, the cycle of violence is escalated sharply recently. what are you hearing in the
1:17 pm
west bank about where this might all be headed? well, allison is with tell you so long as israel intensifies is military occupation, whether it's with be increasing rates to the occupied westbank. the increase in numbers of south indians killed the expansion of illegals. when supplements, they will continue to fight those measures of the israeli occupation just a day earlier. i mean really there are killed a palestinian man. i was 21 year old near the north of the occupied bank, according to these really matters of he was holding knives, but according to palestinians, it's hard to verify these really narrative and know what really happened is when the forces have rated the house of the perpetrator, or what they say, who they say is the alleged perpetrator, the person who has killed 21 year old. that can shift. so this gives you an idea about the intensity of the situation here. we're talking about more than $78.00

treated water containing ordinary sea water. i think we are able to show that there is no change in how they are growing. this is part of a plan to solve a problem more than a decade in the making. in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and sin army which destroyed the fukushima plant, water used to cool damage react to cause and contaminated rain and ground water was stored in these tanks. but they're almost at capacity and authority, say the time to release the treated water is fast approaching. the tokyo electric power company has been treating the water, removing various radioactive materials. but some fishermen say they aren't convinced and they fear their efforts to rebuild the fishing industry in the years after the disaster are being undermined. renada with oh no, i think it's still too early to release the water into the ocean. it's to thought i'd understand if they discussed it with everyone beforehand, but they haven't talked about it yet. some neighboring countries,
1:42 pm
including china and south korea, have also voiced their concerns. and some pacific nations have pushed for japan to delay the release of the water until implications for the pacific ocean. and islanders are clearer or great. it's one doesn't allow the key point here is the ocean. there are concerns not only within japan, but countries mainly in the pacific ocean. we should do or at most from a scientific point of view to prove to those countries which we are dealing with it thoroughly. but i think is what we are lacking the most. the water release will take place over 2 to 3 decades. it could start in coming weeks. jessica washington out a 0. sean bernie is a senior nuclear specialist with greenpeace east asia. he joins us from castle douglas in the united kingdom, shaun the plant operator had fukushima says that the water is going to be released in the sea, actually cleaner than drinking water. so my question to you is, when you drink it,
1:43 pm
the a re radioactive water. ah, by it is name suggest that it's got rid of activity. this water is radioactive, it has redact, tritium, carbon, 14, strontium, and other radionuclides. so no, i would not drink it, and i would not advise any one else to drink it. but the point is they're releasing this uncontrolled into the pacific ocean. but the argument by tapco is that it is one very much controlled and to that they have cleaned the water by removing the radioactive elements. so you don't buy that ivory. that's not true. i took electric, the owner of the plant have been found over the last decades to not tell the truth when it comes to their nuclear operations. the science on the redirect to the t to be released is completely inadequate. may be one quarter of the tanks have been
1:44 pm
tested, the national association marine laboratories in the united states, which are some of the most prestigious marine institutes in the world of all said that the science on this has not been proven by the japanese government. and his court had called for a suspension or any plans to discharge. so there, there is no reliability when it comes to tapco. to be clear, are you saying that radioactive water can not be cleaned to the level that allows you to release it in the sea? or you saying you're just not sure that they, they have done that with this water. so there's about 1300000 cubic meters. but 1300000 tons currently in tanks. the process that they've used so cold up system has not worked about 80 percent of water still needs to be processed. again, they have given new timeframe as to when that will be done. they have given no data as to how successful that will be. so there's huge uncertainty about the effectiveness of the current processing. and the problem is the regulations still
1:45 pm
allow them to discharge reader activity into the marine environment and they don't have to discharge. but they would, so they would say, i guess 2 things, they would say, well, they've cleaned 20 to 30 percent of the water and that's the water they're going to be releasing. not the 70 to 80 percent. that hasn't been sufficiently cleaned yet. that's. that's number one. number 2, they have said as we heard in our report that their tanks are about 96 percent capacity and that sometime this year they will have their tanks will be full of this water and they have to release your answer to those those 2 points. well, the 1st thing is the terms of releasing the water, that's the nuclear regulations that allow discharges. so the problem there is the regulations in japan allow the discharge of below a certain level of radioactivity. but that still means the releasing redirect material into the environment. and they've not done the science, their environmental assessments are poor, inadequate. they don't look at by you accumulation. that's her redo activity, binds into the environment into fashion, to see wheat, which is one of the reasons why fishermen are concerned. secondly,
1:46 pm
and the big lie here. the plan discharge is justified on the basis of lack of storage. yes, there's a huge problem there of storage tanks are filling up. but there's not lack of storage both on the site and in the surrounding area. the area around the site itself has around the storage facility for nuclear waste, about $16000000.00 tons, and they're building additional storage capacity. so it's really just not true that there's no storage option. there are going for the cheapest option, which is to pollute the pacific ocean. shomberg any. thank you very much for coming on the program. thank you. energy companies are marking a new milestone in the technology of carbon car capture. denmark has become the 1st country to ship industrial, c o 2 across international borders and stores permanently underground. there is how this all works. carbon dioxide gas is sucked up from large industries, such as factories and incineration plants. it has been transformed into
1:47 pm
a liquid and shipped out the form of oil rig that c. finally, it's injected into disuse, oil well deep under the surface of the earth, and then it is sealed up with scientists saying that the c o 2 will eventually become rock call. rece, went the denmark to see the technique at work. it's the 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 oils 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 preventing that from going into the atmosphere, but 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 to get the planet to that 0, we are now starting to take the 1st him to not be regulation. it was denmark getting the congratulations on wednesday when it's project green fund, claimed
1:48 pm
a world 1st for carbon capture and storage or ccf. the carbon dioxide was brought from belgium to denmark on this ship taken out for 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. but the european you need generated nations now want to develop ccf globally. this facility in stock home 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. i'm a combined, it's in power at to have processed that use industrial baking soda. we do the same thing as in a baking oven. we increase the temperature and the baking soda releases has theme of c 2 that is stand separated from the rest of the flu gases. at that c o. 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 surprise. it costs 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 locked mor bang for the 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 big that mark still ahead on al jazeera defensive prowess in the n b a that is coming up with gemma. it's quarter after the break with

ah ah ah. and we are back jemma has all your sports coverage either. indeed sir. oh, it was the perfect response from manchester united. following the rushing by livable as they beat rail. bet his for one to take control of they right believe lost. 16 tie. united, willing to bounce back from that 7 know, dropping of the hands of their rivals, and it was looking good early on. is marcus rochefort, gave them the lead to 6 minutes in that is equalized as the size went in one a lot of time. and i said, when back in front, thanks to a brilliant strike from brazilian, when anthony is 7th, go since signing for the club in september united's captain o'brien,
1:52 pm
i fernandez scored. best said he was heavily criticized for his performance against livable. but his manager was full of price for him after this much i think it was the best play on the pitch. and this shows his personality, or he played a little bit deeper all to night. shift a door and i think he did a brilliant and he was the leader united way of that one foot in the quarter finals then, but also tie with sporting lisbon is still wide open after the side street. he will . william silva had an arsenal in front at his level before the break and then took the lead at 10 minutes into the 2nd half st. helena. just watching about austin's equalizer grommet, zach has attempted price choking wasted deflection of betty's midfield. it had a muscle marita and going in for an a goal or time like is that the amortize on thursday event is to can narrow it fast like advantage over fryeburg wild cut
