hundreds of thousands take to the streets across israel and after prime minister benjamin netanyahu fires the defense minister. the latest protests deepened the crisis of a method young's plans to push through laws weakening the judiciary ah, an organism on them. and this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up, it's armed forces day in myanmar and the military leadership is holding a parade will be live from ne p door. nato accuses russia of dangerous rhetoric after moscow announces that we'll place at nuclear weapons and better ruse and court between 2 time zones. lebanon's government announces plans to denay daylight savings time creating an uproar. ah,

hundreds of thousands of his valleys have taken to the streets and anger after prime minister benjamin netanyahu fired the defense minister for criticizing his judicial overhaul plans. following the dismissal of jo of galard said his life mission will always be the country's security. meanwhile, protested breach the barricade near netanyahu's hollarman west jerusalem. water cannon has been fired at the protest is. meanwhile, in tennessee, protest is blocked a main highway there accusing method. yahoo! trying to curb the independence of the courts. the plan laws are part of the right when coalitions bid to limit the powers of the judiciary. the united states says it's deeply concerned by the events. natasha, the name has more from occupied east jerusalem. so this, you judicial overhaul in its current form is actually not backed by a majority of israelis, according to paul's and up until now netanyahu and his governing coalition have resisted all attempts at a comp or eyes. what this judicial overhaul would do in its current form. is give

the government more control over who sits on the supreme court. it would give it the ability to override decisions that the supreme court might make regarding legislation. netanyahu has said that this would not weaken democracy, that it would actually strengthen democracy. he said that it would also make a more balanced court. the opposition, however, says that they believe that it will remove a necessary check at on a balance of power within the government. and there is an enormous division, not only on the streets, but within the national security establishment. members of the military are opposed to it. and if there is talk of it, having a demoralizing effect on the military reservists haven't reported for duty and a it within the context of all of this. you cannot forget that netanyahu is on trial for corruption related charges. the attorney general has said that he should

not be in any shape or form participating in discussions about judicial reform because it's a conflict of interest. so the opposition believes that this is a way for netanyahu to somehow maneuver his way out of the continuing prosecution against him. over confidence isn't israeli politician and kinessa member for the leftist hadash potty. he says the plan reforms aimed at maximizing government control. but what the government wants to do is not to click to fix or amend the judicial system, so it will be more just know exactly the opposite. they want to take control over the judicial system. so as to in the, in the end. so is it is that there will be only one but of power. why not go with the government only the only the controls, the parliament, the parliament, the commission. because the vast majority of the government is the quote in the

coalition. a day with the vast majority within the full i think that we should refer to the situation. not a whole lot of the gym and it them. yeah. i was headed by him. of course it wants to a see because is really my view has never been a democracy, let alone since the occupation, but even before because the state is based on a jewish supreme. ready it cannot be regarded as a democracy. ready place but it's going to be under the. ready the government wants to pursue it is going to turn it into a full fledged. but she's dictatorship to other means. now in south carolina's military says north korea has fired. at least one been a stick massage off its eastern coast. the launch was pyongyang, 7th this month, and the u. s. steps, military exercises with south korea. japan is at least 2. the sounds landed outside

its territorial waters. but european union has warned further sanctions of bela ruth hosts russian nuclear weapons that use. joseph morales says the move would be an irresponsible escalation and a threat to european security. the comments come off, the president vladimir putin announced he would position tactical nuclear weapons in better booth. ukraine is calling for an urgent meeting of the un security council. last week put in was russia would be false to react of the u. k. supplied ukraine with alma piercing ammunition containing depleted uranium. he says russia has stockpiles of similar weaponry, but i stopped short of using it. me, law ukraine's up. it's the nuclear power plant remains at rest gets come under repeated shelling. the un nuclear watchdog chief is expected to assess the damage later this week. the suzy sliders the program coordinator the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. she says the agreement between russia and

better, bruce 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. 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 and very will, these weapons are, if used would be, would have result, similar or greater than what we saw in russia 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 catastrophe. it doesn't matter. the size of the weapon then 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 to lebanon. now the country is facing a political and religious dispute over its official daytime hours. the can't take, a government has delayed the savings by a month. clocks will now be moved forward. at the end of ramadan, an april that allows muslims to break the a daily fast earlier at sunset, the christian authority, se bell stick to tradition and switch the time on the last sunday of march zane holder has moved from bay route. there is more chaos in lebanon, a country already close to collapse because of an economic and political crisis. this morning, the lebanese woke up to 2 times on, usually at the end of march of this country,

the ship 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 up 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 have 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 to to parliament. a cabinet, 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 empowered did not give a decision on official reason why this is happening, it coincided with the start of ramadan. and in the leak video, you hear the how speaker say, you know, people will, will fast, less, less an hour during this month. so a decision on whether or not a lebanon will change the summer timings, which it really has done for, for years now, is causing a lot of confusion in the country. it's armed forces day in the myanmar marking the day in 1945 when its military force came into being in response to japanese occupation. it is also the 2nd anniversary of a crackdown on opponents to the military leadership, in which more than

a 100 protests were killed. one to leader men on clang as to deliver a speech within the hour as part of a military parade. he seized power and 2021. after ousting the elected civilian government. while al 0 has been granted rare access inside myanmar for the 1st time since the crew, our correspondent tony cheng is joining us live from the capital may be door. so 2 years since the military cru, tony, what is the situation in the country for those who oppose the military, both the armed groups and the civilians. well, it's grim and we heard the military spokesman 6 feet without 0 tell us of the military . and he really control 2 thirds of the country. he conceded the elections which are supposed to go ahead later this year will be very difficult because they're still trying to get control. there are fighting in the east west in the know,

even in the center ma'am. we were up near the ancient city of again, a few days ago where there was fighting across the river, the hook for 50000 people to flee several hundreds of whom we found a monastery seeking shelter. so the situation is quite desperate. that said, i think in the central and sense of places like mammals, largest city yang go and there is also a great desire for people to get things back to normal. the economy is doing terribly, people are complaining about the prices tripling doubling. in some cases. sanctions are starting to buy and i think that is putting the generals who are in charge in a, in a difficult position. they have been very isolated for the last couple of years. is perhaps a site storing they've invited us and other members of the farm media and to see this event today, they've been talking about repass creation program for the 1000000 wrangler were forced to flee in 2017. so i think that's an awareness that they do need to engage

with the outside. well, that they're isolation. this policy is going to be problematic. but at this stage, there seems to be little sign that going to that control group on this country. and what has that meant in terms of the she managed care and situation. tony the u. n. is saying that the number of people in need of assistance has soared from the 1000000 before the crew to an estimated 17600000. they say it will be this year it's a grin. situation in many parts of the country because you don't see there where we are in the capital never door in. yeah. and gone as well where things are seemingly very normal. inflation is running rampant people. a lot of complaints about that in other parts of the country where they don't have control where they're still fighting. the military is blocking supply routes. food is very hard to get. there is very little energy in some parts,

no electricity at all. basic services like running water education, have pretty much vaulted and things like healthcare or most gone as well. and i think for the generals who were going to see today, they live very much in a bubble that they have created. you go drive around this capital. and there are enormous boulevard of 20 lanes in some cases. but it's completely empty. it's empty on purpose because this was a capital li builds to be able to discern. it also means they're insulated from the problems in the rest of the country. and at this stage, i don't think they really want to engage because there's very little they can do that. so there are a lot of people who are very unhappy about the military government, about the control of they seized 2 years ago, and they are backing down from fighting hard to maintain democracy and maintain their own independence. tony, thank you very much for that. that is tony chang, bringing us the situation in myanmar live in may. people

still ahead on al jazeera switching allegiances on do us officially establishes diplomatic relations with china, off the severing ties of taiwan plus 8 years since the saudi led invasion of yemen would have a window to what the united nations is calling the world's worst humanitarian crisis. ah, in a post colonial world, cause of european imperialism run deep nowhere more so than in the democratic republic of congo. where her with history still shapes the presence of visceral, yet intimate insight through the eyes of a whistleblower and a patriotic military commander. witness presents. this is congo on a geneva.
