garbage collectors are on strike. there were scenes over virtual case have to say in many parts of paris, the similar picture in other cities in bordeaux, the city in southwestern france, protest is bad set. fire to the front door of the city hall flames. bracing up the door of that city hall, really images. a shock, so many people. this is less go world heritage city. a lot of people from across the political spectrum to day are condemning the violence saying it is unacceptable . you do have though, a number of people who say say, look, this is what happens when people protest for so long peacefully, but they are not heard that they resort. saw the method sometimes violence in order to be heard. you know, the, the pressure natasha's really mounting on the president to pull these reforms and all of this is going to collide with the scheduled visit of the new british king charles the 3rd. do you think that could disrupt his visit?

for sure. really mounting on the french president, a manual macro. what the demonstrate is one. the reason they're continuing with these demonstrations is they want the french government and president mike raul to pull his reform to scrap it. they say that it's an unfair and unjust reform, but what president mackerel says is that this reform is necessary to sustain the french pension system for future generations. he says he's got no intention of scrapping it. in fact, he says that it could be signed into law in the coming days, but he thought, of course not playing out well domestically and internationally to have this ongoing, a social unrest. and as you say, king charles making his 1st overseas a visit next week is due to arrive in france on sunday. we already know that some trade unions are saying that they will continue to disrupt and to demonstrate that a some transfer workers will try and disrupt some of the king. charles is a visit when he's trying to move around the country, not only paris, but he is scheduled to also go to the southwest to bordeaux whether fire was set at

the city hall. what we know now is that the shadow of his visit could be changed. it could be amended. the lisa, though, i know clarify that for the time being natasha butler reporting from paris. thank you very much. a ms. morris military spokesman has confirmed to al jazeera plan to repatriate. we're hunger refugees. we'll go ahead in mid april, but we're anger rights groups are calling it a pure campaign. last week, a delegation from me and more visited a refugee camp in bangladesh. the interview potential candidates for return, but many of them say they're too afraid to go back more than 5 years after military crackdown drove nearly 800000 ranges from their homes. tony ching is emmy moore's capital. my video, tony, you got an opportunity, a rare opportunity, i should say, to speak at length with the men more authorities about this. can you share with us what you learned today and what your impressions were.

all right, we're struggling with the audio there. we'll get tony backup as soon as we fix that, the united states navy has asserted what it calls navigational rights and freedoms . after a stand off for the chinese military and the south china sea fishing says the u. s . warship was driven out of waters near the parasol islands for the 2nd time this week. washington denies any wrong doing thing. it's vessel. the u. s. s. mil yes was conducting a routine operation in international waters. trying to claim sovereignty over almost the entire south trying to see this despite and international court saying that this claim has no legal basis. katrina, you joins us live from beijing katrina. this is the 2nd time this week. a us wash has been driven out of the waters near the parasol island. what's going on?

well for the 2nd day now we've had tense claim and counterclaims in the u. s. and china stand off in the south trying to see on thursday. we initially had a statement from trying to navy saying a u. s. guided missile destroyed us as millions had sailed without permission and legally into an area of the chinese coal. she shut by the parasol islands. and they then said that this destroy was expelled by the chinese navy and accused us of creating instability in the region. following that, washington released the statement saying that this was false and the 1000000 was continuing. what it says are freedom of navigation, operation in international waters. now again on friday, a stimulus statement from china navy saying it's expelled. this destroy the same 1000000 once again. and now we've had another counter came from washington from the spokes person of the us 7 league saying on low and treating maritime claims pores, a serious threats to the freedom of the seas. and it's continuing operations to make a point and do what the us says is defending the claims of other of other countries

in this region. now the resource rich south trying to see you've claimed mostly by aging and despite counter claims and it is disputed territory, but still they didn't continues to build up artificial island and intensify military activities there. and the area where this particular incident took place is a 7 square kilometer door and by the parasol all. and also claimed by taiwan and viet nam. now the u. s. has accused china bullying other countries shipped through its navy and its coast guard. and we have seen of the years a subsequent focus by the u. s. in this in the pacific area. recently, the us did a deal with manila to build more military bases in the philippines. that's also agreed with the with a strain the a to provide it with nuclear power submarines and all of that amounts to in beijing sized dean. so comments of china and chinese territory. we're katrina you reporting from beijing. thank as returns tony cheng now and me and mars cancel night be door

. he's been speaking to authorities there on repatriated plans for ringa refugees. tony. we got your sound back up and working and so look, i was saying to you just a moment ago. it really is rare, i want to say that again to our viewers, because it really is to be able to spend time with me and more authorities and try to probe their intentions on this story. share with us what you learned it is. it's very rare and i think the reason they invited us in and they spoke to us at length today was because they want to tell the world that they are keen for their, a hanger to come back. or the military spokesman said that he had spent a lot of time and were a kind said he had many range of friends himself. he wanted to assure them that it was safe to return. he said that the repatriation process would start with it is a trial period. well, i think we have to emphasize of only a 1000 people and they're still looking for volunteers at the moment. so this is

very much dipping their toe into the water. but he said they would come back at the be at the middle of april, they would spend about 2 weeks in a processing camp. and then they would be allowed to return to their original homes . and i think that is a very big difference. there have been real concerns in the past that they would be allowed back into camps, but they would remain in those camps and very much the conditions they are currently living in in bangladesh. none the less, i think there are also some big questions throughout the time we spoke to them, he referred to. there were a hanger as bangladesh is. that's an indication that the miramar government and it is a military government still doesn't see there were hanging as true nationals. none the less, i think they are either the fact that we're the this far along in the process is further for them. we have been on previous attempts together were hang a back home. did. were you able to get a sense of um, how the government actually is really looking at this? i mean, were hang, or refugees were driven out of the country. that's how they ended up in bangladesh

in the 1st place. why is the government now bringing some of them back? is that sincere? i think that's the big question or for the i think for, for the a mere more government. this is a deal being broken by china. now there are very few crunches that wield any influence here, ma'am, that no, my mercy has proved very resistant to outside pressure. but china is one of the countries that can really make them do things. not the chinese. i think a very keen to see were kind state settled with some kind of piece it would for them provide an easy corridor to the indian ocean from their western provinces. but i think it's also the situation for the rang his is an international problem. we've seen since the military coup, ma'am, are very much close up. the generals who are in charge here in never door have resisted all attempts, but they can't keep on doing that forever. they do have to engage. they're getting an awful lot of pressure from bangladesh itself. who are hosting

a 1000000 people and these little islands on the edge of their borders. the united nation says that international donors are not meeting their commitments to feed their anger. so it is an increasing problem. i think her mom mas, military government is starting to accept they have to do something. questions for the ringer themselves? are they really going to trust a military government that essentially force the man and what the world pretty much generally accepts was a genocide where thousands were murdered, raped villagers burn. and now the military that's accused of perpetrating those crimes. it has taken control of the government is in control in many parts of the country. i think it's gonna take an awful lot of convincing for the record anger to come back to me, emma. absolutely only jane reporting from may be door. thank you. dozens of people are feared missing a following heavy flooding in afghanistan's northern bulk province, at least 300 homes have been washed away. form land, roads, destroyed authority,

is this? is that right? i've described that in a 4 part series. al jazeera investigative unit goes on to cover in southern africa, pittsburgh, we can fill it, 90 percent, it doesn't. once it's to the falling, it's perfectly brandon. good. part one on al jazeera lou ah, watching al jazeera reminder of our headlines, india's parliament has disqualified opposition. politician rahul gandhi as m b on thursday of port found gandhi guilty of defamation and sentenced him to 2 years in prison. is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu as meeting you k prime minister richie soon act in london,
