oh, i cheers from school children in the island community of east end, the excitement is over the arrival of their teacher fransisco velasquez. there's only one school and guy who could she knows infancy school is the only teacher. the fact that these children are able to have an education at all the result of years of hard work from the local community here in coyote, could cheat at the store. this year, the u. s. government announced $33000000.00 to increase access to education. part of a broader strategy by the by did administration to address the root causes of migration from central america critics. in honduras however, warned that ramp and government corruption means that foreign assistance too often goes astray. ah,

and on the streets of tele, leave protest as react after benjamin netanyahu sacks. his defense minister gallons have spoken out against controversial changes the judiciary. ah, hello, i'm marianna mozy in london. you're watching al jazeera, also coming up on the program. dangerous and irresponsible russia's plan to station nuclear weapons across the border. and that really says widely condemned an election without campaigning, a no opposition, the post clothes in cuba, legislative elections, living in different time zones. why the star of daylight saving as erupt into a religious dispute. in lebanon, ah, there are as protest taking place this evening in israel after the prime minister,

benjamin netanyahu sax, his defense minister of your gallant had publicly opposed the prime ministers plans to overhaul the judiciary. the old sack today gallant cool for judicial changes to be halted because the growing division could threaten national security opposition to them. it's spread from st protest a minute free reserve. this the wake of his sacking gallon said his life mission will always be the country's security. and protested this evening of reach the barricades in a netanyahu's home. these pictures posted on social media, it shows and pushing through the fence and running down the street towards the prime minister's residence israeli media reporting that authorities, fire water, canada, and go live and alton natasha, good name and occupied east jerusalem. what are we seeing tonight? how are people reacting both publicly and politically,

to the sucking of your gallant this is unprecedented territory. this type of political crisis and the magnitude of the response is historic. for israel, we understand that right now netanyahu is holding a meeting. several news outlets have reported that he is mulling over the possibility of freezing this judicial overhaul. ironically, it was just that piece of advice that the former defense minister had given netanyahu, asking that given the controversial nature and the device of this, this issue has caused that the netanyahu government hit the pause button. wait until after independence day on april 26 and resume the conversation. but netting how did not listen to the former defense minister your galant, and instead ousted him. the condemnation has been swift from former defense

ministers from the members of the security establishment. and thousands of protesters have poured on to the streets of television and jerusalem and in other cities. now protesters are asking is really throughout the country to come to jerusalem to morrow, to protest in front of the canal it. we're hearing that university classes have been cancelled to morrow. dozens of doctors have called in sick in protest that one of the workers unions is holding a news conference to morrow and it's believed that they will be holding a strike in protest. and 23 is really local counsel. heads have announced a hunger strike in front of the prime minister's residence. also in protest. they're saying that there has to be negotiations that there has to be attention paid to the national security situation of the country. and that brings us to why there is condemnation, even among the ruling party senior members are reported to have said that netanyahu

has made a strategic mistake, that they are and complete shocked, and that he has lost control before this happened, the plan was that this judicial overhaul a vote would take place in the canal that on wednesday. now, of course, all of this is up in the air. the reason that it's become such a divisive issue is a majority of israelis or against this judicial overhaul in its current form. the attorney general has said that netanyahu, because he is on trial facing corruption, charges should participate not at all in any of this discussion. and that is the concern among the opposition that netanyahu is using this to extricate himself from his legal woes. and that also he is undermining democracy by removing a necessary check on a power of power on a branch of government. netanyahu is not saying much publicly this evening, but he did tweeted, tweet saying that we should all stand up strongly against the refusals. all right,

thank you very much from occupied issues and touch again. name one is for john by yossi nichol bug from chatham house. stiller in the studio with me. this is a extremely difficult position now for netanyahu, because there is this wide spread intensifying opposition on the streets, but also politically to this a judicial overall plan. if he is considering a plan to freeze these proposals. and i suppose that that may or may not put an end to the protests. you might do it for a short term survival. but will his extreme right wing coalition partners allow him to do that? and that's what the problem is, is afraid of what happens if he answers to the ability quest by basically hundreds and hundreds of 1000 people in the states. some of the refill is spouted opposition and at least delays this constitution changes. and he's losing his government is coalition,

while other parties don't joins violation and then he's out of may be another election may be a different government. so he, he climbed on such a high too late now and he doesn't know how to climb down. because by forces blaming the people in the streets, so being anal, kissed, or being or left the study. and it's interesting to see that actually the so many early flags and the said, no, we're come here to the state is easily patriots is israel is that believe in democracy in liberal democracy in the all of floor. now, it's very difficult for him now to answer them say me to. i also want to the same thing while he is actually trying to destroy the constitutional arrangement that lasted for so long. while his coalition partners, except a postponement, a freeze of the plan temporarily as opposed to a cancellation or in a will, they will they resign and protest. so what we see now, although the just who news for me so they don't go to look spell to say that their

wants of pose a delay or at least they won't tell her that want to pose. so i think they're trying to understand what's happening in this thing that this is jenny, and this is authentic, is not going away when, when they keep the momentum full 12 weeks and 2, they were put, they didn't plan to demonstrate that there was no fun usually on the sunday they'll know demonstrations. it starts usually and when's then goes that way? with the exception of filed the i think the saturday and the understand that without actually halting the is for a while. this will continuously clear this situation to hold to power even more difficult. so they might actually just give him the lifeline by saying, or the other parties with and the coalition to one that is they want to keep an in place. they want to keep him in place and the make mainly the want to be in power for door door to door is always important to state to be part of government because they need the budget. they need that to keep their, all, that their supporters going and that's fine for them, but it doesn't go anything to heal this deepening internal division in the country

right now. even if the judicial eval plan is postponed, it won't necessarily end the protests. yeah. and what happens with this crisis that a lot of fishes came to the surface and they need to the, to be others will, for instance, carry been what the belden or solving in the military and well not who is actually carry the burden of generating wealth in israel and pay taxes and who is actually standing in albany can seminoles and doesn't do that. what is the all off or for judicial, independent judiciary, in, in, in any democracy there are lots of, he should know, came to the surface or so steel, their co, that the clothes between the scanners ins far the juice. all of this is out there in the debated in the states and in the, in the media. and maybe there is an opportunity crisis can a banjo but also creates opportunity. so here is the opportunity for them actually on the eve of the 75th anniversary of his early independence to we think all of

this. thank you very much. jesse michael, bad fear analysis this evening. well now in all the headlines, the european union has warmed better. ruth could face more sanctions of host russian nuclear weapons saying it's, it's an irresponsible escalation and a threat to european security on saturday, the russian president, i didn't approve it. now if you would position tactical nuclear weapons in battle roost, nato said it was dangerous and irresponsible. ukraine is now calling for an urgent meeting of the un security council. last week, person worn rush would be forced to react if the case applied ukraine with armor piercing ammunition containing depleted uranium. he says russia stockpiles of similar weaponry, but it's stopped short of using it. meanwhile, ukraine's upper region nuclear plant remains at risk. it's come under repeated shelling the nuclear watchdog chief is expected to assess the damage the later this week. 50 snyder is the program coordinator at the international campaign to abolish

nuclear weapons. and as the agreement between russia and batteries could have catastrophic consequences, it increases the risk of the use of nuclear weapons by adding more actors who might potentially have the ability to drop nuclear bomb, be create a potential for forecasts and miscommunication. and that's a risky scenario at the best of times. and a time of conflict, i think, is really stabilizing very well. these weapons are, if used would be, would have results similar or greater than what we saw in hiroshi and nagasaki in 1945 there. hugely, they can cause huge catastrophic harm. and there is no recovery from any health care system they could deal with that type of contest reach. it doesn't matter the size of the weapon, the long term consequences are also something that we just don't have the capacity

to cope with. it's highly problematic. the nonproliferation treaty is not explicitly say you cannot store weapons in another country, but the pilots in those countries are trained to use those weapons and that would require a transfer of control. and that is prohibited under the nonproliferation treaty. ah. the poles of closing cuba, where voters have been choosing members of the national assembly. those lawmakers will then elect a president that's expected to be the current. either miguel diaz can now, as no campaigning or opposition challenges, meaning people can only endorse the candidates chosen, but the turn out will be seen as the important litmus test on where the government stands now. so joining me from havana is our port teresa bowes. she's been there covering the story as well. is there any indication on how many people turned out

to vote in the election? well, but there's a very particular situation in cuba right now. there's a going inflation late, maybe around 60 percent. so far. this year he will get a big problem wherever you go. there's 42 cars medicines, 40 to 40 people lining up, tried to get gasoline call, most constant power. and we the selection of 5 from people picking the members of the national assembly that are the same time we'll have to let the country the next president. this will be aware of a rep who called me about how many people actually go out and vote and the important reset in the past. doing the trying to cancel almost every person or every eligible go into blocks, went and cast a ballot. well, the big question right now is whether that will happen. the latest information that we have right now is from the government. they're saying that after 2 o'clock in

the afternoon, around 60 percent of eligible voters cast their ballot, they're still waiting for the latest information to see what actually happens. but what's interesting is that it's quite that we're seeing in the country is not tony . we have lots of people, different chance, lots of people believing that nothing will change, but also hundreds of thousands of people have left is estimated almost 300000 people hadn't try to make it into the united states coming from q by keeping the crisis that is happening in this country right now. the government, of course, has been asking people to go on vote. they also asking people and promising people that will carry out necessary reforms in order to improve their lives. when you talk to people on the street, many are wondering whether anything will change at all. thank you very much. stories about reporting on the elections in cuba from atlanta, national,

a person who are most part to if i way way and denise to pull society is not interested in the bridge. you ality the free to the spirit go the young person studio be unscripted on al jazeera lou. ah, a recap of the main headlines for you know, and some 600000 israelis of town down to protest on sunday evening after prime minister benjamin netanyahu. 5, his defense minister of garland had spoken out against netanyahu's, proposed judicial overhauls which have divided the country and prompted it nearly 3

months of growing descent. russia has been widely condemned off to present to him of boucher announced he would position tactical nuclear weapons and better roost. nature says it would be dangerous and irresponsible, and european union and european union saying that batteries could face it more sanctions if it goes ahead with this. and pulls of closed in cuba, where people have been choosing the national assembly representatives election comes during the worst economic crisis for decades wants chosen will make as are expected to hand president miguel diaz can now another time in office its armed forces day and men mar, mocking the day in 1945 when the country's military force, the top of the door, was formed in response to japanese occupation me and was gentle needed men on long will deliver speech within the hour. as part of that military parade, he seized power in 2021 after housing, the elected civilian government. since then, the june,

his grip on power has tightened. al jazeera has been granted right access inside me and more for the 1st time since the qu, tony cheng joins me live now from the capital naperville. so what can we expect in the coming hours? i think we're going to see an awesome display of military minors as we see most years here. this event tanks, artillery, rolling through senior generals, out here on the platform behind me. thousands of soldiers on the marching ground. marching information, much as you might see in north korea, we're also going to see all of the armed forces represented. the navy is here, the air force, importantly, i think a lot of people will be paying close attention to that. that has been the air force has been a deciding factor to a certain extent. as a mere mazama has tried to crush oppression to the military coup you just mentioned

. of course they faced very little challenge from the rebels who had defying the government. but i think the fact that the international media has been invited this year is also significant. we've seen a little more engagement the previous things, particularly since the q, when mamma was pretty much closed up for 2 years. i think sanctions are starting to bite. they feel oh, that is out there is tony chang reporting there from that neighbor door. the connection is a little bit unstable, but her out 0 has been granted rare access inside me and my since that coup in 2021. going to be hearing much more from tony in the coming hours where they're expected to be an event, a military parade there in the capital neighbor door in other stores are following you as president joe biden is declared to state emergency from mississippi in the

wake of deadly storms and tornadoes. federal funding has been made available to the hardest hit areas, which include one of the poorest regions in the country, $25.00 people and, and who have died. searching recovery crews are still working to find survivors. and the national weather service is now want of more severe weather to come. the tornado that flatten most of the town of rolling fork had winds reaching over 270 kilometers per hour, which you debris some a 1000 meters into the sky. the weather system was more than a kilometer wide. it lasted for an hour and 10 minutes and travel almost a 100 kilometers. it's been given a preliminary ear for rating, which estimates the strength of the tornado based on the damage. it causes friday's tornado measures in the top one percent of these violent storms on top of this, it has at night, when people are unprepared and we're around a 3rd of residence is a very vulnerable people are living in mobile homes for example. and they're also

at the city hall, the police department, fight apartment local hospital. all these buildings were also either damaged or destroyed. so i'm looking around to know the number to a low with the route bill who were to do would be double. so would through the one over well, i am gloom by myself. oh, mississippi covenant tightly says and praising people lane which need help each other through this crisis. and the help is on the way. and i think that's critically important. i want to take the opportunity to personally thank all of the volunteers that are here. what we've seen over the last 36 hours in mississippi,

on the one hand, has been heartbreaking to see the last and devastation of these communities. but another hand has been inspiring and gives me great reason for optimism and quite frankly, makes me damn proud to be a mississippian, because mississippi and they have done what mississippians do in times of tragedy. in times of crisis, they stand up and they show up. it's been a, is to the day since the saudi led invasion of yemen or as cause what the u. n. is described as the wild, west humanitarian crisis. well health organization is now calling for $392000000.00 to cover the immediate health needs of yemenis. it says more than 2 thirds of the population needs urgent assistance. same bas ravi has more. shima was only 6 when she lost her leg injured in the early years of a war that's been fought for most of her young life. let them in the lab say,

a display of solidarity. shortly after signing a joint committee k. for china, there is more to this than just to endure us with the republican honduras service at so called diplomatic relations with taiwan as of his day and on the sites not to have any further official relations or exchanges with taiwan. under his fine ministers, confirmed a break in relations with k one saying the decisions based on the kinetic needs of the country, men and better than a $100.00. remember frank, generally speaking, they're interested in how the countries moving forward and how to continue working together based on mutual interests, the fans, security and the fight against organized crime. these are themes that are normally on our agendas. lady tay, once president, however, hinted china has been luring away its allies through financial diplomacy that they said the yachting way. here we will not compete with china in the meaningless

checkbook diplomacy forward. in the past years, china has been trying every need to suppress day, once international participation escalate the military threats to asshole and impacting regional peace. ah, they one is now left with only 13 countries officially recognizing the island as independent from mainland china. do united states being its main backer? even the washington hasn't established official relations with the country. geiger at stake is china's going footprint in latin america, where it has so far poured more than a $130000000000.00. as salvador nicaragua, panama, and the dominican republic, have already switch allegiances from new u. s. on doris, his announcement is also a blow to job biden's administration. assign washington could be gradually losing its gross on latin america. with that that i mean of g 0. a bit of news from

this morning, the lebanese woke up to 2 times zones, usually at the end of march of this country to shift into the summer time. but this did not happen because of a decision, an unexpected and surprised decision taken by the caretaker prime minister, along with the speaker of parliament. be buddy. this really this decision a caught people by surprise. some institutions like middle east airlines has adapted to the decision. yes, their electronic devices, their clocks remain the same, but they've had to change their flight schedule to comply with the international flight schedule. but, but there's an uproar and there's opposition and there are institutions which are rejecting to comply with the decision. the argument is it was in discriminant and chose the way this country has been governed for decades. and it shows how officials and not state institutions are taking decisions without resorting through

to parliament to cabinets. and most of the opposition is coming from the christian community. the head of the maronite church christian parties, because they are concerned that the post in lebanon, sectarian power, sharing system of the president is now vacant. and it is the muslim leaders who are taking the decisions on their behalf. and it's not just that while those and, or does not give a decision on official reason why this is happening. it coincided with the source of ramadan. and in the leak, the video, you hear the house speaker say, you know, people will, will fast, less, less, less an hour during this month. so a decision on whether or not 11 on will change the summer timings, which it's really has done for, for years now. it's causing a lot of confusion in the country. india has only one of its heaviest rockets into space. launch vehicle, not.
