a fire at this migrant detention facility in the city of juarez. a long mexico's border with the united states, a horse is just across the border from el paso, texas. another 29 people were reportedly injured in taken to area medical centers. mexico's president recently spoke a saying that potentially this fire could have begun as a result of a riot, of from both from bud detainees from migrants being detained at this facility in war as we, as of yet, do not know. we cannot independently verify what exactly the cause of that fire was, but tensions have been high in the city of war is as of late with migrants growing desperate and up there have been other incidents involving migrant growing desperate and rushing the border. so of course, we're paying very close attention to the story in and watching for any details that could tell us exactly what it was that caused that fire. right, and suzanne horace, as you say, is a major crossing a point from my grants entering the united states. what more do we know about the conditions they faced there and in these detention centers
4:04 pm
where i will again, these are migrant centers, migrant detention centers. but there's also migrant shelters along cities all across the, the length of the us mexico border that are reportedly full as many as migrants from central american south america continue to make their way through mexico trying to reach the united states. incidents like these are quite rare, this is a lot of people. 39 people confirmed at a migrant facility. again, that's a very, a very large number, mexico's national immigration institute has for years been struggling to curb over crowding at these facilities. there have been accusations of immigration agents using excessive force and riots themselves are not necessarily uncommon. just last year there were riots that migrant detention centers in cities like the one which is right on the border with united states across from california in cities. liked
4:05 pm
up a shula along mexico southern border with, with guatemala. but again, these, while they may be sort of violent situations and situations that evolve migrants protesting deadly incidence, like the one that we saw take place in the late hours of monday, in the city of war as across from the united states. that is, that is certainly something that does not happen every day. and once again, highlights the many dangers associated with, with migrants who are desperately trying to reach the united states, making the way across mexico money. thank you very much for that update manual wrapping live for say, in mexico city to france. now i protest as a back on the streets demonstrating against president demanded michael's controversial pension overhaul. it's been nearly 2 weeks since the changes were forced to parliament. they raised the retirement age from 62 to 64 workers in the transport. aviation and energy sectors have walked off the job in protest. life pictures there of the demonstration in paris, and that's bringing natasha butler,
4:06 pm
a correspondent in fantasy, joins us live from one of the demonstrations in paris, natasha. they were quite violent scenes last week during the protest. what is it like today? how so far? pretty peaceful. but as you say, that having some serious incidents of violence in some of the recent prices, even though they're happening 1st. and so i like this since the beginning of the and most of them have been diesel the last week or just a few days ago. so right here in paris, some protesters i'm police cache gas was used some windows and st furniture was 2nd night fine and said that of course, the government doesn't want to see. again, that is why the french interior minister as a security will be higher up today. some 10000 police officers have been deployed post the country, 5000 in paris alone, detroit and to ensure security. you know,
4:07 pm
since the beginning of the, as i said with all those parties determined us to also say that hundreds of these offices, happy no protest is to some demonstrate to choose the police of using a brutal polish tactics when, okay, all working at these demonstrations and interesting the recent opinion, but what she suggested the one in 5 people in for all say that they understand the fathers, even though most people can donate some say that they feel the dollars as a side of desperation. when people, i'm not being heard, the pension reform that to people have been demonstrating against natasha is being examined by francis constitutional court. so it could soon become law. what then are the spo testers trying to achieve? will demonstrate to say that no matter what the procedure is at the moment that this bill may soon become law, that they feel that the zones i keep coming out to the street. they keep striking
4:08 pm
been perhaps i can put enough pressure on the french government. the government will scrap this new, but not so far. that doesn't seem to be the case. the french government said y'all, showing any signs of backing down. they say this french record is necessary to say the pension system for future generations. now what we have seen a little bit earlier today is one of the leading trade union leaders come out and say, perhaps what the french government could do as a way to break the deadlock is they could suspend raising retirement age by 2 years to 6 to pull something that is very popular with many people and perhaps we could get some independent media just to talk to both sides of french government. so i've said that's more necessary. they basically rejected that suggestion. so the stalemate continues is quite hard to see which way this might go. thank you for that, natasha about my life for a stay in paris. there's plenty more head on this al jazeera and use our,

negotiating teams in an effort to end the crisis is or as opposition leader? yeah. le pete says he's ready for discussions if the delay is genuine. the new day, we've had a bad experience in the past, so 1st we'll make sure there are no trick. so bluffing here we heard with concern yesterday reports, and netanyahu told people close to him that he isn't really stopping just trying to calm the situation. that spring in al jazeera natasha go name in western with them . so natasha protest continued even after that, you know, announced that he would delay at the judicial overall bring us up to speed with the latest. what's the mood like in the country? there's still a lot of anger and suspicion and by the way that anger remains on both sides. the opposition and supporters of this judicial overhaul are both indicating that they will continue to take their grievances to the streets. the opposition is
4:15 pm
saying that they don't just want a suspension of this judicial overhaul. what they want is complete scrapping of this package. they believe that it will undermine an independent judiciary that's necessary in a democracy. they believe that this is a vendetta, that netanyahu has against the judiciary. he is on trial for corruption charges. he maintains his innocence, but he has said that he believes the charges are politically motivated. the attorney general has said that netanyahu should not be participating in any deliberations regarding a judicial over haul because it's a conflict of interest. and that is why you're also hearing members of the opposition say that netanyahu should resign. supporters are also angry and they're planning a protest in tel aviv on thursday. they say that there is a need for judicial overhaul that they represent the majority. and they don't want quote their vote or the state to be stolen from them on monday evening. as you
4:16 pm
mentioned, netanyahu did address the nation in an attempt to try to diffuse the crisis. and also we're deuced the touches in the country. he mentioned that if there was a way to avert a civil war through dialogue, as prime minister, he would take it and he's calling for dialogue on all sides. but he still insists that there is a need for judicial overhaul. and bear in mind that the connected is about to take a lengthy recess from april, 2nd, to april 30th. so there is definitely a feeling among the opposition that what this holds in this judicial overhaul is simply a stop gap measure. and that come april 30th, the fear is that this judicial overhaul will be pushed through the canutson and the bill natasha. that would give the government more control over the selection of supreme court. judges is now on the table in parliament at mcnair said, what does this mean and what are the implications
4:17 pm
so on monday as this country, he was an estate of protest and paralysis. there was a member of a number of, sorry, there was a committee in the canal, it called the constitution law and justice committee that passed a bill that would allow the government to have more control over the selection of judges in the supreme court as a protocol it now moves it to the connect that it's on the table, so to speak, and it would move to a 2nd. and 3rd reading. the concern among the opposition is, is that that would make it very easy to push through a vote, perhaps even this week before the recess ends. and you're hearing a lot of people in the opposition say that they believe this is a signal that netanyahu and his coalition are not sincere about negotiations or compromise. and they have describe this as having to negotiate with a gun to the head. just real briefly want to mention that for the 1st time since
4:18 pm
netanyahu sacked him on sunday, the defense minister or the former defense minister on clear what terms to use. no of gallet met face to face with netanyahu during an official or routine cabinet meeting. he has not received his official dismissal letter yet. so who is the defense minister? what is going to happen next remains unresolved. thank you, natasha. for that update, natasha. go name life for a say. in west drew slim. a funeral has been held in the occupied westbank for a palestinian man killed by israeli forces or mer lola died after being shot in the stomach during an israeli raid in the city of nablus. last month. he was buried in his hometown of the water is really forces of killed 91 palestinians in the occupy territory. this year, at least 20 people have been killed and dozens injured in a bus crash in south western saudi arabia. the passengers were on their way to the city of abba for an islamic pilgrimage when the vehicle hit

4:20 pm
the prisoners swap is separate from the j. c. p. o, a. and there are technical issues that we hope booby finalized in guitar has previously held talks on exchange of prisoners and the j. c, p o, a guitar has made some constructive efforts and will continue to do so. people in the u. s. state of tennessee are paying tribute to victims of a school shooting. it happened at a private christian school in nashville on monday. a make shift memorial has been set up outside the school. i heavily armed former student killed 3 children and 3 staff elisa, the attack appears to have been planned, and the suspect had detailed maps of fiscal john hendrick has more. ah, another school shooting. another community terrorized at covenant school in nashville, shots fired gunning down 3 children and 3 adult staffers. there is so many policemen. and then the ambulances started moving away from school. and that's what i had heard. it was as schools shooting minutes later in
4:21 pm
a school lobby to arriving officers fire back. the officers engaged her. she was fatally shot by responding police officers. investigators were left, probing the car of the shooter, a 28 year old, identified as audrey elizabeth hale. and what drove hale to open fire on children. i was literally moved to tears to see those and the key as they would be it out of the building. that was a door that was entered. all doors were locked, understanding and how exactly see got in at this point. so under investigation, the daughter of one covenant teacher was texting with her mother who said she was hiding with students in a closet and hearing gunshots close by. it's disgusting and i. yeah. i just, i have no words like i'm trying to process it all. it's so terrible. so sad from president joe biden, there was more consolation with little hope of action. is chester?
4:22 pm
it's sick. you know, we're still gathering the fax. what happened and why police say the attacker, a former student, was armed with a pistol and to assault rifles, a style of weapon, the u. s. congress band in 1994, before allowing the band to expire 10 years later. biden, again called for congress to renew the band. we have to do more to stop con violence. it's ripping our communities apart, repeating a sol this nation, but on a divided capitol hill. he has no real chance of passing it or ending the decades long series of mass shootings in america. john henderson alger 0. well, let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit that we heard reaction from president biden. kimberly, calling on congress to pass his assault weapons ban. how realistic is that? well, in the words of some of the most prominent republican senators is pretty unlikely.
4:23 pm
and that's because a well, it might pass in at least the house of representatives say it's unlikely to pass in the senate, and that's because there doesn't seem to be the political will in this current congress. well, there certainly has been a executive orders as recently as just a couple of weeks ago, a put in place by president biden when he was most recently out in california to increase background checks, promote better storage of various weapons, including hang guns, assault rifles, the president is limited in his ability with executive orders to put in place. the kind of legislation that he's looking for legislation is made in congress. and that's why you keep hearing him calling on congress. the president is really limited in what he can do. it's a congress that makes the laws and congress says it's not willing to go much further. and so that's the problem here. the powerful national rifle association,
4:24 pm
a very powerful lobby in the united states, has really worked to its might on capital hill. it's spent a lot of money lobbying law makers to, to really hold them to limit the legislation. and so as a result of the legislation that was put in place by president by to we should point out when he was a senator back in 1994, that band high capacity magazines and assault rifles was around for about 10 years expired. and the president no calling for similarly similar legislation, but there doesn't appear to be the appetite. so really what the present is looking for is legislation that contained a number of things universal background checks, illuminate or rather put in place, manufacture, liability bound, assault weapons, and also high capacity magazines. but right now, what we're hearing is that congress is not willing to do so. they say that there isn't a particular appetite in the united states from the american electorate because of
4:25 pm
something known as the 2nd amendment. that's the right to bear arms of the u. s. constitution as so right now, even as the president calls on congress, it appears that legislator said they're not going to answer the call. kimberly, thank you very much for that. kimberly, how can my for say at the white house 9 and you report, amnesty international has accused western nations of double standards when it comes to human rights and universal values. the report says that in 2022 countries were swift to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine, but overlooked violence elsewhere. it says responses to armed conflicts in ethiopia, yemen, israel in the occupied palestinian territory, were inadequate, and a fueled impunity and instability. amnesty has worn that freedom of expression is under threat as government crackdown on descent, highlighting china, egypt and saudi arabia for ignoring criticism of their human rights record. the group is calling for all countries to renew a ruled fe,

to her own based, although ease, in fact, profess commitment to a national interest. it means that the international system that should carry forward international rules and contact a human rights piece for isn't. and these, we can buy those dogwood standards and it means it means or so that door response to our russia aggression. one of the ukrainian people who again the ukranian people eat, sounds easy. we can't buy those double standards that because the rule based, told that you see international coalitions oh, facing to embrace easing fac quite, i bought krishi and lies. so one to believe, right? went to trust. so. so how did, how, how then do we change is how do we make sure the international system, this role space system is more fit to deal with these global crisis
