it's important but great powers be models of transparency and communication. and united states will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows . and it is incumbent upon russia to operate as military aircraft in a safe and professional manner. the russian defense minister say you shall goose as he told austin that operating drone flights near crimea was provocative and could lead to an escalation. my kind of joins us now live from washington, dc. it has been more about what the pentagon is saying about this. well, the pink dawn is really repeating its allegation that the incident was because of reckless behavior on the part of russian pilots. once again, the russia continuing to insist that an in a collision actually did not occur and maintaining its very,

until the narrative that the drone was heading towards the crimean coast when it flew out of control. but at the same time, all parties appear to be trying to cool the situation down. you heard the, the chairman of defense having had a conversation with his counterpart, the head of the joint chiefs of staff has spoken to his russian counterpart in the course of the day l. they would say is that matters of neutral interest were discussed. but we've heard from both the russian and the u. s. side as that incidence, like this are very dangerous in the type of tension that occurs in the region at the moment. and it does appear clear that both sides once the situation to ease down, they don't want any escalation. but what is also clear is that the discussion has moved away from the actual collision to what areas of the u. s. will operate in now and in future russia attempting to place limits on a space above the black sea. the u. s. saying it has a right to operate in that area, should it wish to do so,

and we'll continue to do so. so this is the point of discussion and one last note as well, the spokesperson for the state department saying it does appear that the action was an intentional. this is a very important point from the us point of view, seeing it as a mistake, an accident due to recklessness, as it puts it, rather than any form of russian strategy. and mike, what's the political fallout in the u. s. from this incident? well, there's a degree of fall out because of the known as of the relationship between the us and russia. there's been anger at russia since it's invasion of ukraine, and there was anger, certainly in congress before there has been talk among members of congress about for the sanctions to be imposed. there's been great anger expressed atlas latest incident seen as the u. s. government brought the, sees it an act of reckless provocation as some members of congress have described

it. but at the same time, they are likely to follow the lead of the administration in this to try and de escalate the situation. or most importantly, and not let it escalate any further. my can i thank you very much indeed. russians defense ministry says the us aircraft was flying towards the russian border before it fell. but it's hard to judge, did not use on board weapons all come into contact with a drug, whatever their credit scope a lot or the unmanned aircraft flying with its transponders tuned us filing the boat as a temporary restrictions to a space usage. david fighter jets from the on judy a defense for the scramble to identify the intruder and the result of shot maneuvering at around 930 most good time. the him tonight drone to an uncontrolled flight or the loss of altitude and collided with the service of the router. and i want to underline, rushing, why did you did not use the onboard with and they did not come into contact with the unmanned aerial vehicle. got all them instead returned safely tonight to pick

up the am 9, reaper jerome is one of the most advanced tools in the us military's arsenal or defense editor alex, good of ross, explains the am to 9, reaper is the world's 1st purpose built drone design for attack as well as surveillance. it can stay up in the air for up to 14 hours. i can fly up to 15000 meters. it was 1st flown in combat in 2007, and has the capability to stay in survey, a specific target area, sending back vast amounts of information to pilots and analysts on the ground, sometimes half way around the world. what made the report initially different from all the drones was the fact that it was the 1st one designed to carry weapons. it cannot only survey targets, but destroy them if needed. this combination of surveillance and strike capabilities makes the young man vehicle a potent weapon able to operate night or day lawyers, their director, the frontier europe initiative and an adjunct professor of european security. she's

also a former military advisor to nato. she joins me now from washington, d. c. thanks very much indeed for being with us. so there's always an element of he says, she says all they may, they always accommodate each other's versions of events here. what do you think is the most likely things have happened in this incident? well, thank you for the question. we have history off russia and lying, including about full scale invasion or any invasion of ukraine. whereas with united states, within this conflict, we know that they've warned us, or de, on a full scale invasion will take place. and so, with this pattern, if russia would not deny, then we would have a much bigger international conflict. it is likely, though, that russia has, as the united states has claimed, particularly through the defense department that they have harassed this drone for about 30 to 40 minutes, including fuel dumps and attack on the propeller,

which determines the drone, the m q reaper to fall into the black seat, this is the most likely outcome that we'll see out of this incident from yesterday. though, the d o d here in washington has alluded to the fact that they might, they might make public video confirming that that hasn't been the case yet. so what is the aim of the tactic, if indeed that's what the, the russians are doing, of harassing the drones and so on. well, if we're looking particularly at the inter junction between the nature space and the international airspace we have before the full scale invasion and into the full scale invasion, a long history from the russian side of violation, often a to airspace. in this incident, this is likely to be,

to have taken place within the international airspace. so what, in the context of the black sea, the russians are likely to be doing is to try to provoke, to determine the americans, but also need to overall, to not be able to use international airspace like they have, have tried to determine nato forces not to use the international maritime space within the black sea. this is what they're likely trying to do. and there's another bonus if we can call it that on the russian side. as your colleagues were mentioning earlier, the m q reaper is one of the most advanced and very expensive you with military capability. so it's a significant loss that the russian, the criminal, particularly can boast off in regards to their domestic public as well as to the international community to say, look,

we are able to down such an important military capability off the americans in international airspace. we do not care about international law. this is, these are some of the possible speculations of why russia have been doing this and tell me the russians and us have spoken at a high level. is that a sign that both sides want to de escalate? absolutely. we've seen and i think some of your colleagues were commenting earlier on the fact that both sides particular d d, united states is trying really hard to de escalate to framing as a marginal incidence to decrease the chances of this happening in the future. because this would lead to significant costs on the western side. and so we will see in the coming months, if this is something that will occur again, hopefully not, but likely, particularly the americans are trying to de escalate whereas the russian cannot

really admit it. even if it is true. yeah, georgia, thank you very much indeed for talking to. thank you. thank you. the syrian president bashar assad has renewed his support for the war and ukraine while meeting the russian president vladimir putin that he met in moscow in president assad's 1st official with it outside the middle east. since the devastating earthquakes in syria last month, russia is stepping up efforts to improve ties between to kia and syria. present assad's visit coincided with the top of history of the start of protests which led to the syrian me. i would like to take this opportunity during my 1st visit after the start of the horn ukraine to renew my unchanging stones serious dance in supporting this war against the old new naziism as dance doesn't only stem from the strong friendship that we have. nor does it stem from the loyalty you've shown us asked, dawns, comes from the world's need to day for rebalance. otherwise,

the world will hit towards explosion and destruction. the peaceful protest that began 12 years ago were calling for the removal of president. her son and thousands of syrians have been out in rebel held areas, marking the start of the uprising, and continuing to call for the fall of our sad. hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the war, and millions were displaced. many continued to live as refugees, and as you've seen, their president bashar assad remains in power. let's look at what, who controls what in syria, the syrian democratic forces or s d f made up of many kurdish fighters and backed by the us control a big north eastern part of syria highlighted in yellow. while syrian groups backed by took here are in charge of some northern regions, is shown in green and purple. other syrian forces, backed by the u. s. control territory in the southeastern part of the country shown in blue. the government controls the rest from gaussian debt, passion hub,

our reports on the revolution. 12 years on it never occurred to a mental hassan, but a small demonstration of the old quarter of damascus. 12 years ago would change his country and his destiny originally from the north western city, but other to norman. he and his family are always on the move, seeking shelter from government shelling and asked why x by russian blades. nana sharp nan alumni from. but he but that you, we are the ones who pay the price displacement schilling add to this the earthquake . we are helpless, and we suffer, shar linda found out that with across towns and villages under revel control in north western syria, people faced a tough reality. president bashar al, as that remains in power backed by iran and russia. he is now hoping to reconcile with the countries that one's sought to topple him. i am at hela,

was 14. when the uprising started his survived battle bombs asked rights and earthquakes. he says, acceptance of the us at the regime is a betrayal that people who died in the uprising will actually this idea of the cancellation with the said the redeem is ridiculous and is a completely rejected by the people here in northwest celia there, sandra jim, and it's a lie, russia and the and i have been killing those people for over 11 or 12 years. how can we are council, with, with him? a truce broke heard by russia and to a key in march 2020 still holds. but revel forces led by the powerful group. he at the 3, the champ, remain defiant. palmer, but only milofa in our masters at the asked athena, we have restructured and reorganized our forces. they are modernized, better equipped. we've also consolidated our defense lines,

and if our enemies decide to cross those lines, they will pay a hefty price lock on. for now, the conflict seems endless. the international community has accused asset of lane siege to towns starving people and using chemical weapons. but at the same time, it's never fully trust of the rebels. a few months into the uprising cereal rebels were advancing to capture damascus, but their military gains were soon reversed. when i said in his allies, went on the offensive. now the rebels have retreated to the la stronghold in italy, province outgunned and outnumbered the future, hangs by a thread hush man. but al jazeera garcia into is really precedent. isaac had so because unveiled alternative changes to the judiciary in response to a planned overhaul by israel's fall. right. coalition is triggered mass protests in recent weeks. measures put forward by promised benjamin netanyahu is hard. right.

coalition would give the government more swayed, selecting judges, and limit the power of the supreme court. to strike down legislation is where the cabinet secretary said the kurdish and is not behind. the new proposal, put forward by the president in yahoo has shortened the trip to berlin. foreign consultations on developments in national security according to his office earlier, hundreds of people held a demonstration that israel ban gloria and international airport. an attempt to disrupt the prime minister's departure to berlin. they formed a convoy of cause and how banners denouncing these ready prime minister and his government of a week's protest in israel, of the proposed changes to the judiciary. god, i asked all the citizens to come to the demonstration protest to stop the dictatorship. we will protest until the stick, the tauriel government is removed and the corrupt man vacate his place with his entire family. we will not give up and we will not give up even if the laws will

and he was in the middle east and this at the israel policy for him. he joined us now from tele. be thanks for being with us. so can, can you outline to his what these, where the president is proposing to try and come up with compromise here? of course, thank you brian. it's good to be with you. so the president heard saw, he gave a landmark speeds tonight, where he outlined a compromise to, to this traditional reform after weeks of consultations with academics with lawyers and prolog negotiations with both opposition and coalition leaders. he offered and what makes his proposal compelling is that neither side is completely happy with it . but what has happened is the opposition has embrace this, but the coalition has said that it is not enough as, as you just mentioned, the big changes that hertzog is putting forward is when it comes to the judicial selection, giving the coalition more and the, the current government more say,

and the judges that are actually being chosen. and the other thing here that is big is a passage of a basic law which israel itself does not have a constitution. so basic laws are kind of used as a clause i constitution. so in, in her talks proposal, you would actually need a super majority of 80 feats to pass these basic laws. whereas the current proposal is just a simple majority of $61.00. and it was quite a severe warning, wasn't that he sort of seem to brother, civil war was, was potentially close. she said, anyone who thinks that a real civil will a human human life in it is a line that we will not reach has no idea the abyss is within touching distance. how unusual is it to hear that kind of language from the president? i mean, to be honest, it's, it's, i've heard of in israel and we've seen over the past few weeks, we're entering the 11th week of we've seen israeli air force fighter pilots.

i'm threatened to refuse to serve. we've seen a movement that is or has never seen last year. the 10th week of the protest there were over half a 1000000 people in the streets is there is a country that is divided and all the pulling that has been done has shown that the majority of israelis are against this proposal, this traditional overhaul. some people think that we're headed toward a dictatorship because this overall, this overall in itself will give the government unlimited power. and that's something that is really, they're very, very scared of. the supreme court for years has protected minorities and it's around, it has protected those who the government had not protected protected arabs. it's protected also after arthur. it's really kept israel and balance and in the country without a constitution. i'm. the supreme court has really held it together so people, people are scared and israel is divided and the reaction to hurt sog her talks

proposal. the president's proposal from the opposition and from the coalition only intensifies what's been happening. so if this compromise doesn't run if nathan, yahoo and his government rejects it, what do you think will happen? i mean, i expect the protest afco tomorrow. there is a, it's the day of disruption. they're protest scheduled at the german embassy at the u. s. embassy and also disruptions to major highways planned. and this is well, this will only intensified because there is a group of israelis that for many years have kind of felt that netanyahu was unstoppable. they feel empowered now. they feel empowered to fight for the country that, that they love. and we are on a coalition course though because what may happen is if the reform passes as it is

currently looks like the supreme court. ironically, you will probably vote it down and then you will have a constitutional crisis where the israeli army, the police have to decide if they are loyal to the supreme court and to the state where they loyalty netanyahu and his far right when government. and he goes, thank you very much indeed. i thank you. thank you. what's more still to come this hour? senegalese opposition needed to smile. sancho is barricaded in his home by police as the authorities ban rallies by his supporters on the eve of his trial. the protest is run across france urging politicians to vote down president nicole's bill to raise the retirement age. as bull counts, leave rubbish piling up in the streets and his sport. cuba had to miami as they

a little over just a there is a plan to change the set up of the refugee camps to make them more like an integrated settlement where refugees who live here can have better access to government services. their movement outside the camps will still be restricted. oh, that would help. oh, ensure that refugees do have access to the existing national public services. on the same time. ah, but we also heard of the 2 communities are to leave side by side with one another peacefully and um and, and, and watch ah, towards contributing to the national little army to the plot. the refugees in the dub and the local community have been trading alongside each other for many years, but the area is over populated, and the resources are stretched. this is

a live stock market, somali refugees and canyons for aid here. they have quite existed peacefully for men. yes. but increasing the hard to sell the animals cheaply because of over supply. ali hassan abdi a canyon hardest says, the demand of his donkeys is low and the profit is not as it was before. that's good. the middle of life's took prices have gone down because the refugees are also coming with their own animals. were worried that the more people arrived, the more difficult it will be especially, and if the draught continues back at the camp more refugees arrived. they've brought whatever they can, but with limited resources, it will be a struggle as a displaced and a host community. try to make things work. katherine saw alta 0 that up in ne and kenya. security forces in senegal have surrounded the home of opposition leader,
