me and mars election commission has dissolved the political party of me and my former leader uncensored. she said media reported the national league for democracy failed to register under strict new electoral laws. brought in by the military government, tony ching reports from yangon. the building behind me is the headquarters at the national league. the democracy was once the party of government here, and mamma is now being dissolved by the election commission. they say that because it didn't register under new rules for elections, a cannot take part. the military governments spokesman told al jazeera the n e n l d parliamentary members who wish to stand with different parties. a very welcome to do so. with the n l d itself says from hiding this is an illegitimate government, and any other actions they organize, it will not recognize. but that creates a problem for the military government. there is only one thinker who can possibly unite, what is now a very divided country. that is unsound sushi, the n l. d 's,

former leader, who is now in jail. the rest of her natural life. tony cheng al jazeera, ma'am. oh natasha rename, joins us from west jerusalem with more on the crisis in israel. now are the 2 leaders, netanyahu and biden are clearly at odds over this. what sort of pressure does that actually put on nathan, yahoo! now, bear in mind that this is a longstanding relationship between american president joe biden and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. but they've known each other for 40 years by netanyahu's recollection of the 2 have not met since netanyahu has taken office in december. and president biden, up until tuesday evening, had never been so clear publicly about his opposition to the judicial overhaul. the we know from the american media that by the biden administration,

had been pressuring benjamin netanyahu and his administration to calm the streets to come to some sort of compromise netanyahu has saying, is saying that he appreciates the longstanding alliance between the 2 countries. he says it's unbreakable and that they've always been able to overcome the rare occasions in the past, but he is saying israel is a solvent sovereign country. it makes its decision by the will of the people and not from pressure from abroad. netanyahu is sticking to his belief that there is a need for judicial overhaul. he saying that this administration is committed to strengthening democracy by restoring the proper balance between the 3 branches of government. and we're striving to achieve that via consensus. now if you speak to the opposition, they do not believe even to this moment that the governing coalition is sincere about compromise. we only got to this point on sun sunday evening when netanyahu

fired his defense minister yo galant, and that escalated the situation considerably. just on that point. is there an update on the go show sions with the opposition to resolve this crisis? i mean, how of i going well right now at the israeli president's home here in jerusalem, he is meeting with members of the opposition party. specifically members representing era political parties on tuesday evening for the 1st time since this political crisis began about 3 months ago. negotiating teams did meet, they met for about an hour, there were members of the governing coalition and members of the opposition israeli report say that there was not much progress that it was more a setting of the stage of future negotiations. and there are negotiations plan. today as well,

but president herzog said that he hopes that the negotiations will quote calm the spirits lower the flames and lead to positive results with a broad agreement. there is still a lot of anger and suspicion, and there will be more protests not only among the opposition, but supporters are also expressing their intent to go to the streets. both sides very intrenched in their desire to push their each push their side. i will say that we still don't know what's going on with the defense minister post. now the sunday evening netanyahu did fire of gallant the defense minister, but he never received a formal dismissal letter and yesterday, gallant attended a routine security meeting, and netanyahu has not said a word about the defense minister since then. there is a lot of speculation that perhaps for the time being to calm the situation that the

status quo will remain in terms of the defense minister, posting and gallant will remain at his post. okay, thank you so much. that is natasha and i, for us and whist, jerusalem migrants had held a protest outside the detention center in northern mexico's suit out of pot is up to 38. people died in a fire there on monday. the victims, families, blame immigration officials and the facilities guards for the death. earlier president andries among lopez over dorothy, the fire was caused by migrants and asylum seekers. he said they set fire to mattresses after learning. they were going to be deported. john home and reports following serv. ambulances. they came too late for many the fire of migration detention facility in the mexican border city of what is had already claimed dozens, many of them go to mullens, some venezuelans. i know desperate relatives had

prime minister benjamin netanyahu to abandon his plan to over hold the judiciary, yahoo rejected the call. he proposed changes of being debated by the government and opposition me and mas election commission has dissolved the political party, a former lead him on time to change. the state media report of the national league for democracy failed to register on district. new electoral laws, migrants have protested outside the detention center in northern mexico and filled out pot is up to 38 people died in a fight there. on monday, the victims, families, blame immigration authorities and the facilities gods for the deaths. the united states and south korea have conducted the 1st large scale and for b, s landing exercises in 5 years. the drills that taking place off the coast of eastern pl hung north korea accuse the u. s. and south korea of rehearsing and invasion on tuesday, pyongyang and failed. what it said were new and small, a nuclear warhead, declaring it will produce more weapons,

cried nuclear material. well, mcbride is following the military exercises from per hung of all of the joint drills that have been held over the past few weeks. this i'm phoebe, as landing exercise is probably the most dramatic, like the other drills it has been on hold for the last 5 years or so. it is also probably one of the more controversial shows of strength coming during what is meant to be a rehearsal by the south to defend itself from an attack by the north. hundreds of us and south korean marines storming the beaches would not seem to be very defensive. but then, as the allies argue, this is them rehearsing for a counter offensive, making themselves such a formidable foe that no one would think about attacking them. first, this exercise is designed for the combined defense of the korean peninsula. and that's important to us. it's porton for the regional stability. north korea has

been protesting against these drills with a series of missile launches, as also rehearsing a counter attack of its own against the south. and it's u. s. allies, the difference being that it's cancer offensive. what it says be using the small attached to coal nuclear devices that it says it's now developed and which it's been showing off in state run navia. the device is being inspected by leader kim jong and robert pride al jazeera. whoa, hang south korea. robert kelly is a professor of international relations at pusan national university. he joined us from pusan and south korea. as we had just heard from rob mcbride, the, the landing tools have been likened to preparing for an invasion, a controversial show of strength, so that the u. s in south korea, unnecessarily antagonizing the north here. do you think? i think the argument for the exercise is that there was a pause for several years under donald trump. i mean,

i suppose you can make the argument that someone antagonistic to the north, but the north repeatedly makes nuclear threats at south korea. and so there's been some discussion in south korean united states about how to respond in such a way that would serve encourage north grants to step back a little bit. i mean, to be honest, northridge tighter window there for a few years to make an offer. when donald trump really did want a deal really did wanna pull out of south korea and the north koreans missed that. and i think we're sort of back to the 2 sides making these sorts of rhetorical claims and show as a force. so, i mean, you, i guess you could argue that way, but you could sort of say the same thing for the north 3 and again you kind of chicken or egg problem here. and i think that's really where we stand. i think the larger are going to the exercise that they will hold it for 5 years. and so there all kinds of interoperability and cooperation issues that need be firmed up for readiness to their effectively playing catch up at this point. yeah, i mean, that's the organ here, i think from the us military here that we have or products for a while. interoperability is important, right? that we readiness issues sort of creeped in and that we need to do these kinds of

things. i would just point out specifically on the previous question that are important. mentioned ram, again, you argue that practice renovation. i wouldn't characterize that way. i would know that south korea is pretty narrow country if there were actually a conflicts, right? at some point, southern and us forces would be rolling north in north would probably lose the conflict. and that would include amphibious landings because there's actually not a lot of fighting space. it's difficult to find a war maneuver in korea because it's on the mountains and the notes on both sides. actually assume that there will be impervious operations. i'm pretty sure the north koreans are. in fact, we know that our friends have considered these kinds of things as well. yes. we also saw kim jong and posing with technical nuclear weapons, you know, the state media reporting from the ne, also calling for the scaling up of weapons grade nuclear weapons. i mean, how concerned are you about that? do you take that at face value? i do, i think that the north korean military is getting pretty old for the conventional military is getting pretty old. it's pretty obsolete. it's based on. so b designs really from the sixties and seventies, a lot of the equipment is outdated. north korea has

a real fuel prices as well. so there are screen jackson going to get into that kind of conventional conflict. these exercises are, are concerned about the, the north grades are probably lose. i think there's a consensus there and so we've been, north dreams have been investigating. we believe smaller nuclear weapons in order to use them on the battlefield in order to repel south korean. and in america, a tax, if it should come to that end strategically, that kind of makes sense. you know, it's pretty far behind. now it's got a large army, but that army is kind of obsolete problem courses. that once you use nuclear weapons, really nobody knows what happens the day after, right. and we just don't have a good sense of what would happen if you need a nuclear weapon and how the world would respond to that. so this is a north korean risk taking, but, you know, done that kind of thing before. so, okay, thank you so much for that, that several, but kelly, professor of international relations for us in south korea. thank you. but tens of thousands of people in france have walked off the job to protest against president and manual mccombs pension reform. the marches have been largely peaceful, however, the police say more than 200 demonstrators were arrested. and 175 offices injured
