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. the. busy the biggest ones going to be happening in television on saturday we were expecting a doest amount of people to come out on to the streets because of his tone of voice address not going. busy for the protesters, while the israeli leader is on an official visit to the united kingdom and he's held a meeting with prime minister receive sooner as them off for a fee on the last row, you do break the law and last night talk between the leaders are taking place against the backdrop of protests against this and you know who's trip when he is released in the u. k and abroad or against his governments, judicial changes, joan hollis following events. a downing street israeli prime minister benjamin

netanyahu knows that where he goes these days, protests follow in london is no exception. pro palestinian protested, but also of course, anti nathan. yahoo! protest as people like these who believe that the policies of his right wing held to a nationalist, helper orthodox government, is leading 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 believes he just sent to a few israel. he wanted prime minister soon to join a coalition of countries that would work against the wrong 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. i'm the legislation that has been for forward is not a digital report. it is the destruction of the legal system. as we know, 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. jonah hall al jazeera london. the world food program is warning of a food crisis in the middle east and 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, as it's now around 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. it's already announced cuts to some services in iraq and afghanistan can cross leads the world food program, country director in syria. he says, food insecurity is a bigger problem in regions that have endured conflict. in 2019, the average wage in syria was able to buy everything a house 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 me or to ended up costing the entire salary of that teacher for the entire months . 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 is the 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 they don't 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 . banking stocks are plummeting in europe, lead by deutsche bank shares and the german giants are down more than 10 percent with more fear as if a crisis in the banking sector. the german chancellor olaf sold has tried to reassure europeans at the bank is profitable. meanwhile, the dutch prime minister mark roots and the french president minute micro insist europe is not facing another financial crisis. dominant cane explains what's

ah ah, hello again. the top stories on al jazeera this hour, at least $200.00 is really army reserve pilot say they will not report for active duty in protest against prime minister benjamin netanyahu is controversial, judicial changes. the army chief has warned. it could affect the readiness off the military. banking stocks are plummeting in europe, led by concerns deutscher bank could default on its debt. the german bank shares and did the day down more than 90 percent fall recessive. again, who saved more than 1200 people during the 1994 wanted genocide is set to be released from prison. he was sentenced to 25 years on terrorism charges in 2021.

and his story was featured in the hollywood film hotel rwanda. for more on this, we're speaking to steve clemens. he's the host of al jazeera, the bottom line. he's joining us from washington, d. c. steve, you also scoop the story and you recently spoke to the ruins and president polk. a guy may at a security for him. and at the time he had hinted to you at the possibility of releasing recess, a bingo. just tell us how best has come about it and what you know, if it a remarkable change the turn of events in december i interviewed president, could guy make you said he would not be bullied into making a decision and that it would it take an invasion to get paul recessive again, out of prison in march in doha, he's, i asked him, i said, how's that position going? and he said, you know, sometimes you have to forgive the unforgivable and i got goosebumps on the back of my neck. read that. wow. they're going to release paul recess, begin, and then i said to him on stage it in the interview, if, if you make that decision,

will you give me a call? and they did. and so i think that the united states, with a lot of assistance from cutter was able to get to an understanding with or wanda about how to get paul recess begin at 20 others released without removing or pardoning his conviction. so the conviction remains on the books, his sentence is commuted. he is going to go to doha soon, and then we'll move to the united states to reside there yet. so steve, on, on that point you make on the understanding, i mean, behind the scenes you have any detail as to what was going on for those 3 countries . cuts out of the united states and rwanda. to reach that understanding. we are still early in the process, but what seems to be the key element is a change in stamp from the u. s. government about how it was approaching president, gama and so, rather than framing recess could be, you know, as

a wrongly detained person that's invalidating the legitimacy of his conviction. i think the white house, my sources tell me the white house reached out to find a different path that would not undermine the solvency of wind as concerns about security and terrorism. and the death of civilians that they felt was tied to some of recessive beginners associations and provide a path forward. and by doing that, it enabled a commutation of the sentence on humanitarian grounds, which is what the mirror of cutter recommended. and that this legal understanding would allow, that, that sentence to remain on the books for these people to be committed to be released as long as they don't returns or similar behaviors so that they believe that there is a deterrence of the notion that you can engage in violence and you know, to be honest, all resistance being released a very interesting letter and i posted that letter on my twitter feed when which he

goes through and basically says he regrets any association with any killing or violence. and he reasserts his commitment to non violent part of this arrangement. so that was all part of the package that got them to this conclusion. and it was interesting to watch because i've interviewed all good. i'm a several times. and this is definitely been an evolution, right? yeah, it does sound like and you were mentioning just a moment ago that recess a begin will eventually had to united states. now, perhaps many american don't know his name, but they are very familiar with the hollywood film hotel. rwanda. of course. oh, i mean, he so i read that recently. bed to president craig, i'm a look, you know, this one, my final question to did that look if you go and poll most american, even most europeans about rwanda. what comes to mind is hotel rwanda and the story of the heroism of this man, and saving more than $1200.00 who twos and to seize one of the most horrible

genocides in our modern era. so that's where you know he is, he is that person. and so this is an important moment to many people. ok, steve, thank you so much. they've come and speaking to us from washington d. c. thank you. now the u. s. s. carried out air strikes on targets in eastern syria, local sources say 5 people have been killed. the pentagon says that operation came after an iranian linked drone attack on a us led coalition base near and has on thursday 5 american soldiers were injured under contract or was killed. the united states navy has asserted what it calls navigational rights and freedom softer a stand off. the chinese military and the south china sea basing says the u. s. warship was driven out of water is near the parasol islands for the 2nd time this week. washington denies any wrong doing thing. it's a vessel. the u. s. s 1000000 was conducting a routine operation in international waters trying to claim sovereignty over almost
