years, 2 years ago on terrorism charges. ah . you're watching all the 0 like from a headquarters and they'll find any navigate also coming up. hundreds of is really army reserve. pilots refuse to fly in protest over the prime minister as controversial judicial changes in color and flavor to ramadan. people in gaza observed the fostering month and the shadow of conflict, blockades crossed thanks on. once in europe as leaders attempt to shore a confidence in a struggling financial sector and calls for more strikes in france against the government plan to raise the retirement age. ah, it just passed 1600 hours gmc and we begin in rwanda, where the man who inspired the hollywood film hotel. rwanda is due to be released

from prison power since the beginning. i was sentenced to 25 years on terrorism charges 2 years ago. tied to an organization opposed to the rwandan president polk gum a. that sentence has now been commuted after a presidential. pardon? resist the beginning worked as the manager of a hotel in kigali during the 1994 genocide. he saved the lives of more than 1200 people. malcolm webb has more from goma on the congo leaves rwandan border since those events that were documented in the hollywood movie that took place in 1994. that that again came a vocal critic of rwanda's president for me and it was in august 2020 at recess to begin. i was trying to thing in the international airport in dubai received into boarding a plane, which is later turned out was provided by the government of rwanda hours later. it is capital k golly in handcuffs was presented in a widely described as

a kid. nothing or an abduction while condemned by rights groups and by the government of the us rights groups and political opposition. and rwanda have complained for decades that critics of president polka, gummy frequently end up being killed or imprisoned or disappearing both wanda and targeted in other countries. around the world, but this case was different. hollywood and tell the story. hollywood said that that again was a hero. belgian citizenship and a permanent pride to remain in the us through a lot of condemnation and substantial diplomatic pressure from the us over wonder. ever since renee mckenzie, the friend of paul russell, begin on on the chairman of the global campaign for rolanda human rights, and he says the rwandan government was under pressure to free him. well, we are very happy to for the news also that it is up to solid, you know,

because i've been waiting for a long time. finally, the day we been dreaming about is, is here. we are very happy to, to run that news today. personally, i'm not surprised. there have been a little pressure to do. want to go to the system. i do not because i've been on it a good he so he is sure not to be present 1st, but his voice would have been for a long time ago. so i'm not surprised that happens because the racial is too big too little wondering why not a government. and so that's why we are so happy that to happen just that idea not to be present. this will be home with his family. but guess what? i did not have household to the world how the, the nature of what the government because it does not, it doesn't talk to criticism. and so it should the right to the, to the system or for the dictatorship. that's why the system again i've been fighting for for human rights and wonderful democracy and wanda. and he had been

sort of become a victim. a phase 200 is really army reserve pilots say they will not report for active duty in protest against prime minister benjamin netanyahu. controversial judicial changes the army chief has war. nathan, yahoo has proposed plan could affect the readiness of the military. iran con has more from occupied east jerusalem over here and that the number is actually far larger than we thought. some 200 pilots have now decided that they won't show up due to now that's actually quite crucial because it rolls, apple actually runs on those with the pilots. ok to have a massive effect. we're also learning members of the lead intelligence unit, the 8200, about some 100 members of the unit are also decided to join the project. they're not going to turn full duty on, not having a message on intelligence gathering for these rallies, but then you have to put that in context with the large levels of reserve. this is

really all new service, some to some, 10000 people. so let's just say that they will not sign up for service. now the prime minister made an address on television, benjamin s, you know, he spoke to me saying that he was going to push these 3, but he's willing to listen to the opposition. that hasn't had the effect, but he thought it might help in coming things down. indeed, the numbers are getting larger and larger. by the day they're all big process happening across israel. default the biggest ones going to be happening and tell us we'll inspect in a thought about people come out onto the strength because of his tone of voice address. not going forward. upset a piece. the protesters they is really liter. benjamin a thing, meanwhile, is on an official visit to the united kingdom on he's held a meeting with prime minister. she's do not foresee on the

last row you do read the last night. talks between the leaders are taking place against the backdrop of protests against netanyahu's trip. many israelis in the u. k, and abroad or against his government, judicial changes. don't know how is following events, downing street, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu knows that where he goes these days, protests follow and london is no exception. pro palestinian protested, but also of course, anti netanyahu protest as people like these who believe that the policies of his right wing out nationally sell for all adults government is leaving the country towards what they described as autocracy. this is not an old tradition. this is the end of the democracy. i think there is no legitimacy for what they're trying to do. he came here to london to re focus international attention on iran, something he been sent to

a food israel. he wanted prime minister soon to join a co initiative country that would work against the rounds up and to expand its nuclear program. what he didn't want to talk about under any circumstances is what these people very much do want to talk about controversial plans that his government has to push, push through judicial reform in israel, that they say is an abuse of power that would undermine the judiciary. and the supreme court that would have the power to the government to appoint judges. i'm that personally, they say is essentially just the way of healing him prime minister netanyahu from the west consequences of corruption charges against it. and you cannot have a democracy without the law legislation that has been proposed to not if you do still report it is the destruction of the legal system, as we know of history will not forgive you read one banner here and the crowd chance shame benjamin netanyahu was welcomed inside downing street, much less so just outside. don't a whole al jazeera london around

a 100000 palestinians have attended the 1st excuse me, friday afternoon. prayers at the mosque this ramadan. but there are concerns. there could be an escalation and violence by is really forces against palestinians to out of 4 wars on guys i have taken place during the muslim holy month. al jazeera is given a say, it has more from gaza city. as people in garza prepare for ramadan, their excitement is mixed with tension. for many thousands, the muslim holy month is a time to come together with family and friends to break fast and share meals. but for some, the memories of conflicts and wars when they've previously celebrated or casting a shadow pleasant. i bought a hall. we want to feel the joy and happiness that ramadan brings to our homes and our children. we have many sad memories, but we will not tie them with normal don. it's not fair to make this month

a month of sort of the most of the year about we have prepared all essential susan days for our customers during this whole month. we know it's difficult time, and if any escalation breaks, we'll have to store all the food and lose a lot, but we hope it will be fine. and people enjoy ramadan peacefully. despite this most constancy of preparing for ramadan, with the same enthusiasm and joy, they have every year. families are busy decorating their homes, shopping for special foods and buying gifts for loved ones. what you see behind me is called the colored neighbourhood by the people here. they painted pictures on the walls of their homes to celebrate and welcome the coming of the holy month of ramadan. life has been stabling garza for many years with ongoing conflict and frequent outbreaks of violence. patrice intentions have been particularly high with

fighting between israeli forces and palestinians in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem. and that sparked fears of a wider conflict. alas, i believe it would be the issue of egypt and other regional and the emotional countries has been restrained from escalating the situation with as well. but we also about this is world keep pushing against the palestinians and lovers on june and within a lot. so most that might lead to on the very limited escalation with, with israel, which my love last volume. the international community has repeatedly expressed concern about the rising tensions in the occupied territories. the united nations has also expressed concern, but about the potential impact of any conflict on those in garza whose lives are already precarious. you may see it al jazeera godsa banking stocks

are plummeting in europe led by deutscher bank shares and the german giant are down more than 10 percent with more fear is of a crisis in the banking sector. the german chancellor, olaf, souls has tried to reassure europeans at the bank is profitable. meanwhile, the dutch prime minister mark roots and the french president in money where micro insist europe is not facing and other financial crisis. dominant can explain what's happening with deutscher bank on the market. what's behind this is what jargon is, stickly is called c d. s credits default swaps. that jargon translates to the cost of insuring against the possibility that a bank might default on its debts. and that is being caused by what has been happening in recent weeks. not just this, what we've seen, the value of shares tumbling in institutions like deutsche bank, but what was happening in switzerland, in so far as could be 3, is concerned. and then u b. s. this idea,

the cost of insuring against the risk that large european banks might default on their debts. it's all about confidence. there appears to be a real short fall in confidence, in the financial markets about the overall strength and stability of the european banking sector. that's why we see the share prices real. the value of shares really tumbling in recent days. unions and frans are calling for more strikes on protests on tuesday against the government bill to raise the retirement age state visit by the you case. king charles has been postponed at the request of the french president to minute micro who said it would laugh. common sense in the middle of the protest, more than 1000000 people demonstrated nationwide on thursday to voice their anger at the pension changes the least say more than 400 officers were injured and 457 people were arrested. natasha butler has more from paris that was more than 200

demonstrations protests across frauds on thursday, and most of them were peaceful. but it is true that there was some serious violence at some of them take leave here in paris in the capital, where we saw police and protest as cash. some of protesters deciding also to smash some buildings up. if you look behind me, if i to step out of the way of the short, you will see a part of residential building that is badly burns and bins. also lot of mess on the ground in this street that also has cafes an average street in paris. what happened is some protesters set light to some of the garbage that has been pining up around the city on the streets because there is a stripe by garbage collectors that supports the fire late some of the front of that building. it was a similar situation in the south western city of bordeaux unesco world heritage city. there some protesters set fire to the door of the city hall. now those,

the images that have shocked many people in france here today across the political spectrum. most people all condemning the violence, but they're also those who say, look, this is what happens when peaceful protest is arnold heard, some people end up resorting to violence to get their message across. still had on al jazeera, a food crisis bruise in the middle east. the world food program weren't a funding shortfalls and aid costs. just as ramadan begins on protests in india as the opposition leader role gandhi is barred from parliament ahead of next year's election. ah, here's your weather update in a minute 15 while the city of z a reads in pakistan's baluchistan province. us know for the 1st time in march and 15 years,

we did have some thunder. downpours in tokyo that pushes away, but still some showers in the mix on saturday. enjoy your weekend or susan, take her ah too often of canister as portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many of bannister, thanks to the brave individuals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction . an extraordinary film archives spun for decayed views. the forgotten truth of the country's modern history. the forbidden real part for the ear of darkness on a jazeera oh

a hello. we're on the top stories on al jazeera hall recess of again, the man who story was featured in hollywood film hotel. her wanda, is due to be released from prison. he was sentenced to 25 years on terrorism chargers, in 2021. he save more than $1200.00 people during the 1994 genocide. at least $200.00 is really army reserve pilots say they will not report for active duty and protest against prime minister benjamin netanyahu. controversial judicial changes the army chief has war that could effect the readiness off the military. banking saucer plummeting in europe led by concerns deutscher bank could default on it that the german bank shares are down more than 8 percent. the chancellor or lost souls has tried to reassure the markets. the world food program is warning off a food crisis in the middle east on north africa just as the muslim fasting month

of ramadan begins. lebanon, syria, iran, turkey, and egypt have all seen food inflation, past 60 percent this year. it's being driven by raising global food prices and regional droughts made worse by climate change. the number of people going hungry across the region has increased by 20 percent in the past 3 years. it's now about 41000000. the world food program says it's facing a funding shortfall of nearly a $100000000.00 for the month of march and april alone. and it's already announced cuts to some services in iraq and afghanistan. can crossley, the world food program, country director in syria. he says, food security is a bigger problem in regions that have to cope with conflict. in 2019, the average wage in syria was able to buy everything a house and needed and more for what they needed this year. you can only buy a quarter of what a family needs just to eat each month here in syria as

a result of the kinds of prices that you have. the, the price increases, the reliance on import, the devaluation of currency. and of course, here in syria, more than a decade of devastating conflict, i tried to take a teacher's wage and i went shopping in the shop where w a few beneficiaries. when we give them cache go to the shop. i bought items that the shopkeeper said, are regular. i bought tomatoes, i bought lemons. i bought father beans. i bought a little bit of tune. i bought some dates of the trade. i bought a little bit of chicken, some tomatoes, let us. and that was already in that, that basket, which in my family would be a meal or to ended up costing the entire salary of that teacher for the entire month. but i think that for me, the more interesting question is not sort of what is the cause of it, but what is the consequence of it right now, right now, more than half the population of syria doesn't actually have enough the 3000000 of them food severely food insecure,

we need to help them every single month. and for me, that is the biggest concern. as a consequence of the complex factors means that just people are going to bed hungry . the challenge of funding is enormous. it does mean that we need to think carefully about making sure that every dollar gets to the people who need it most. it doesn't mean that we're thinking about not just helping people in the immediate term, but how do we help people get back up on their feet? how do we help farmers start farming with the water that we need? how do we have business been get their businesses up and running small business and so that need help. so it's a huge challenge in order to finance the immediate assistance. that's a huge challenge in order to sort of kick start in this particular climate. the sorts of product of activities that help households get back on their feet together or money pocket fannies are struggling to put food on the table as a domestic economic crisis combines with rise in global prices. the government is negotiating with the international monetary fund to unlock

a $1100000000.00 bailouts. the i m f is insisting on reforms. i said big reports from the hor, desperate for flower. the government announced there would be free distribution of it for those in need, and boxed on is in the middle of an economic crisis. inflation is at 40 percent. basic food prices have more than doubled. why the wages have stayed the same? it's the worst economic crisis since the countries independence gaze of agreement means prices have gone up by 300 percent before a $100.00 a month used to be enough. but now even if you get $200.00, you need to borrow money. we can't buy flower sugar, so many things. and that's why i'm here buying clothes for my children. we can't afford new ones that delegating the hor stands as a reminder of more affluent times during the moral empire. i time before british rule, when this regents act put, accounted for nearly a quarter of the world's economy. the people passing through it to day are more focused on the price of basic foods. prices that sometimes change over night. we're

lucky bod. what the hell out of a the situation is very bad. i curse. those that are running the country from last, like the price of flower has almost doubled. we don't want your fear flower just lower, the prices focused on his we spoke to don't want handouts. they want stability, the government to control the economy and food prices. your large audi, even getting one meal a day, it's very hired. my husband died a month ago. i had to take my 2 children out of school to work. the prices have gone up so much for the poor. it's unspeakably difficult swap. pompey, the nation, is now importing more than it's exporting. and it's still waiting for an international monetary fund package. but the i m f want reforms, but some say that government needs to do more, preach not just that you would with the americans. will you go to the sol? didn't japanese have brussard the i m f. then our associate look at all the things the jew not duck. why are you not doing your own jobs?

we have to now look at introspect and roku at ourselves. that what is it that we're doing wrong? what does it that we are doing that so many bobbies studies from hebert, who grant g r folk, the poor, i'm not able to get jobs are not able to make and reach the re, dunning discovery correctly or not. an estimated $8000000.00 people are unemployed at buckets on foreign currency reserves are only enough for a month of import. when you speak to people, it's clear they're struggling. those are previous the h 2 meals a day and i find it difficult to eat once a day. from these have taken the children out of school, others put off, going to the doctor, all just saved money to feed their families. and with the political turmoil, the country appears to be no end in sight. with those in the bred, like i said vague, i'll just do the whole buckets on to india where parliament has disqualified a senior opposition figure rule. gandy is an m p. on thursday, a court found guarantee guilty of defamation sentence him to 2 years in prison. the

53 year old, a member of the national gun. the political dynasty was convicted for comments he made about prime minister. there is remote, his surname at an election rally in 2019 so on kara, is the chairman for media and publicity at roll down these national congress party . he says they will fight this, this is and legally and politically. the yard in the ports of the people, and as far as the legal options are concerned, our legal experts are looking into the options available that may be options available to having said that, it's pretty amazing to see that the man who's questioning the governing. we're seeing the prime minister always silent on crony capitalism on his brain. but the money on the hindu book report, demanding the joint parliament become a person who is demanding. all of this get punished and capitalists will scott see . i think they should, the government realizes, and if they don't realize they will realize that gandhi in the parliament may not

have been as little or dangerous for them. but beyond the seat of india will be far more dangerous for them to be. people are with us, people of the united states navy has asserted what it calls navigational rights and freedoms. after a stand off of the chinese military and the south china sea phasing says the u. s. warship was driven out of water in the paris l islands for the 2nd time this week. washington denies any wrong doing, saying it's vessel was conducting a routine operation and international waters. katrina, you has more from basing for the 2nd day now we've had tense claim and counterclaims in the us and china stand off in the south trying to see on thursday . we initially had a statement from china navy saying a u. s. guided missile destroyed us as millions had sailed without permission and illegally into an area of the chinese call. she shut by the parasol islands. and
