7:06 pm
hopefully a foreign minister will acting a way that he has got to work out in january with israel and united states of had the occasion differences. but i want to assure you that the alliance between the world's greatest democracy and a strong, proud and independent democracy, israel in the heart of the middle east, is unshakable. nothing can change. the obama smith is joining us live no from our west jerusalem prime minister. benjamin netanyahu saying is going to try to reach a compromise. it appears as though his options are getting fewer and fewer. robert benjamin netanyahu needs to put the positive gloss on these talks, but his optimism at finding a compromise isn't shared by the opposition parties that we're hearing from the
7:07 pm
president met to the main ones on choose day. he met representatives on the parties of yellow, p and benny gans, the former prime minister and defense minister has been meeting with representatives of 3 smaller parties to day on wednesday. they have said that they believe benjamin netanyahu is trying to push through this judicial reform to control. if you disagree more, to exert more control over the judiciary. don't forget, benjamin netanyahu face is trial on various corruption charges. and there have been allegations that he's trying to push these reforms through to so that he can bring an end to the corruption trials he faces. and netanyahu course denies those charges and says, this is simply about restoring balance the balance of power between the government and the judicial branches. so it's going to be very difficult to find a compromise when both sides are so entrenched on their views. the opposition just wants this legislation gone out of the way they want it withdrawn from parliament. netanyahu simply paused it and plans he says to return it to parliament in the next
7:08 pm
session towards the end of april. and there's clearly pushback against or benjamin netanyahu as you're describing, well, what kind of response has that been in israel? and also of course, within the government to this upon tension that now is very public between netanyahu and the u. s. president. well, this is unprecedented. a public open criticism, a rebuke, if you like, from the u. s. president to the prime minister of israel is no underestimation to tell you that most israelis view their relationship, that governments relationship with the united states as the most important foreign relationship that this country has. now benjamin netanyahu is already under a lot of pressure over less and he's suffering in the polls. most polls suggest that were there to be an election a soon netanyahu would lose and would lose because of the chaos that we see over
7:09 pm
the last few weeks. this criticism from the united states adds to that impression that netanyahu is not fully a got a full griff on his government at the moment. so that actually gives him more impetus, if you like to get these reforms through. because if lend benjamin not in yet now, doesn't get them through then is far right. coalition partners who are pushing this legislation. well, they'll leave the government, his government, he loses government majority and be forced to have an election is no easy way out and netanyahu, but he for his own political survival really would want these reforms to go through bernard, thank you very much. indeed, bernard smith talking to us from west jerusalem, where our white house correspondent kimberly hall got it's got more on washington's reaction to israel's judicial bill. the u. s. president gravely concerned about those proposed judicial reforms now on hold. but the u. s. president not holding back when he said that he was concerned and going even further saying that he
7:10 pm
believed these really prime minister should walk away from those plans altogether. we should point out that there is also something else that has been mentioned by the u. s. president joe biden, and that is when it comes to invitations to the white house right now. the israeli prime minister has not been extended one, and there is not one in the foreseeable future. and that matters because, well, there has been this underscoring 5 years railey. what prime minister and a virtual summit on wednesday, just a few hours ago, he spoke a here at the white house, virtually saying that the relationship between israel in the united states is unshakable. that there are occasional differences, but certainly these can be worked out. there is this effort by the u. s. president joe biden to make a strong statement about these judicial reforms. and so that is what he's done. he said that not only i am the last 24 hours as he said he's concerned. but he's really going much further when asked by reporters whether or not there would be an
7:11 pm
invitation to the white house in the near term. he said not in the near term, so he's a certainly making a point that he does not agree politically with what is going on and is your right now, even though both men are underscoring that the overall relationship between israel and the united states remain strong and that has not changed in the occupied was buying a palestinian charles, been wounded after his really south was attacked bedouin families near ramallah. neither abraham is in tucker and spoke to the palestinian families who survived the attack. members of this palestinian family were asleep when a group of settlers attacked them in their bedrooms. they say they woke up terrified just before midnight, to rocks being hurled at them, and settlers attacking them with pepper spray, dirt, or you meridian, jani. the rocks are all over the house. let me show you there. here we started looking after the settlers left and found one of the rocks under my head. we found
7:12 pm
it here under the bed. they either through it targeting the windows or my head as i was sleeping through a shelter slowly when we go to the porch to these really police, they ask us for the miracle, they blame us for not forming the attackers. it's as if they want us to look at the perpetrators and handcuffed them and bring them to police. this is not the for a subtler attack against palestinians of the past week. just a few days ago, a group of settlers put up a house on fire in a village near grandma, but the family, luckily managed to escape. according to the un, there's an average of 3 settler attacks per day against palestinians. and they say that since they've started documenting these violations against palestinians in 15 years, this is the highest number of subtler attacks against palestinians. now there are media reports that benjamin netanyahu is going to be granting the far right. national security minister been via a national guard, according to palestinians. they believe that this is a going to bring them
7:13 pm
a free hand for israeli settlers to attack them. and according to the palestinian foreign ministry be said that this is going to be a racial militia. that will continue to target and kill palestinians. mid that became al jazeera, the occupied westbank. let me take you back to our top story from mexico, others and go over the death of 38 people who died after a fire tor through migrant detention center. new video which has been released, appears to show uniformed men failing to unlock the doors of cells to allow margins to escape from the burning rooms. we're going to go to manuals, rap hello, who's life us in mexico city. talk us through the security footage model. that's right, rob, and just to give you a sense of where we are right now in mexico city, we are outside the offices of the ministry of the interior. i here in central mexico, where demonstrators have convened a,
7:14 pm
a protest over what they're calling in humane conditions. for migrants, there's outrage, that's just growing here in mexico after this video began circulating that appears to show the guards at this migrant detention center essentially doing nothing as the fire spreads through the detention center. and it, at no point in the video, does it appear to show the guards making any effort to open the doors to allow the migrants to escape. this is a fire that eventually ultimately claimed the lives of 39 people. you can imagine on the outrage here in mexico, like local news outlets here have been reporting and debating whether or not the the blame should fall on the president. the president has said that he's going to make sure that whoever it was that was responsible for the dis, this tragedy and see that what is on monday evening will be punished again. looking at these images, you get a sense of why people are so angry. there have been protests in see that what is there was a candlelight vigil on tuesday evening,
7:15 pm
but there's still more protests. again, people saying that this is the outcome of, again, what they're referring to as inhumane conditions that migrants are being kept in in cities like see that what is and so the government's promising justice and accountability. but in practical terms, do we have any idea what that might mean? mexico's president of the discipline will opus of it, though it was pressed during his early morning press conference or early on wednesday asked about what the latest is with the government, what the government plans to do. but we still don't have any details. we don't know exactly what accountability is going to look like in practical terms, but we do know that outrage is continuing to grow. and so our tensions in, in see that. what is this is by far the deadliest incident that we've seen in recent years related to bankrupt detention center. that's not to say that riots are uncommon. he's just last year. there was a riot at a migrant detention center in the city of tiquana,
7:16 pm
just across the border from the us state of california. there was another riot in the city of dap at eula along mexico's border with guatemala. but nowhere near as, as a, as dramatic as what we saw take place in see that what is so we're, we're likely to continue to see protests and continued as he calls for accountability. the president has promised that an investigation is under way that those responsible will be punished without giving any more details. as to exactly what that's going to look like. bringing this up to date from mexico city. that's manuel rollo manuel. thank you very much indeed. does is the syrians have gone missing during the countries prolonged conflict? now the united nations is trying to push for answers and provide some closure to families who are waiting to find out what happened to their loved ones. are diplomatic at james bay's reports in the un headquarters in new york. after 12 years of war, the united nations estimates there are about a 100000 people missing in syria, detained or abducted. their relatives don't know if they're alive or dead. now the
