do the response and all the 1st responders and the bi standards helping assist everybody out. i believe the conditions could have been much worse. the full extent of the damage is still to be measured as more storms on their way. my cannot al jazeera when b. c journalist, emily acorda has more from little rock, the capital of arkansas. evidence of the sheer force of the storms just about every where you walk here in little rock, arkansas, behind me, you look at those store fronts. they are completely blown. now i actually just spoke with a gentleman who was inside one of those stores. he saw the tornado closing in with such a force. he says it below him, back by about 10 or 15 feet more evidence of those powerful, monstrous winds. take a look right here. what is this describing? cars being tossed as if they were toys. this one flipping on to another,

and that's the scene really across this entire parking lot. here in pulaski county, arkansas, there have been more than 50 people, hospitalized one person, according to authorities, have been, has been tragically killed. looking east were more people killed in cross county, arkansas. the governor here declaring a state of emergency as search and rescue missions continue to play out today. the other thing you'll know in the background, you might be able to hear the sound of the beeping up construction vehicles. the buzz of chainsaws as they faced this massive clean up after an arkansas isn't alone . there were dozens of reported tornadoes across 7 states in the mississippi valley . i'm emily caught in little rock, arkansas was don nickles is a resident of little raw can the manager of a piano stool in the city. he joins us now. thanks for taking the time to talk to us. so just take us through what actually happened, where were you?

we were in the store that's behind us here. and the alarms had gone off, we'd heard several sirens, and i actually stepped out of the building to look. so the south west where tornadoes come from to see what the skies look like. and we saw the funnel cloud coming towards us, and we watched it, it seemed a long ways away. but then we started hearing it. it's a very air, each town. and that's what we took cover in the back of our store under some stairs . this must be quite a terrify experience then that i don't, i didn't have that fear because you don't think it's really gonna hit you. i mean, the odds are so low, but i mean, i've lived my whole life and it's the 1st time i've ever actually been in tornado. i've been near several. we're happy that you are safe. obviously i'm how much damage was done to your premises and others nearby. we were in

a shopping center here with has about 5 or 6 buildings. 3 of them were fairly heavily damaged. we only had just a little damage to our actual store. just a window was blown out and the ceiling clouds dropped, but the restaurant just next door to us is closed. the walls are literally pulled out of that restaurant and with all the damage that's been coolest in other areas them. and how is the community pulling together? you know, you just see lots of folks volunteering. i talked to a friend of mine who was that his mother in law's house and my son that actually showed up in the neighborhood to help. but some of the friends from his church and they just happened to go to that home where my friend was his mother in law. and that's the case all over. there's lots of people offering water and food and still to those who are working and helping, and of course socio lost their homes as well. are the authorities doing a good job?

do you think? are you getting to help you need? yes, it seems so it's a little early to sense that to me right now. we're just trying to figure out if the buildings are, you know, they'll have to be completely torn down or repairable. i'm sure parents are a homeowners are in the same situation. some have a little damage that may, it may be worse than it looks, but then some have a lot of damage where the home had to be totally rebuilt. so it will take a lot of time, how much fair is said that this may happen again, even more frequently. she will not so much with this area experiences, tornadoes on a regular basis, especially in the spring. and so there's no fear that it's going to increase or decrease. that's just kind of just part of living in central united states. how much can you actually do that in practical terms to try and prepare for this?

you know, we've done a great job, i believe the reason here in little rock that people didn't get that there. one is many deaths. right now. i only know of one and it was actually a north little rock. but the only, there was a great warning system. all the tv station said there's problems. the sirens were going off. i think everybody had time to get to a safe space in their home or in their business. and that way they avoided the engine on the coast. we very much appreciate your time. thanks for joining us. stay safe. thank you. now, tens of thousands of people have turned out for 13th week of protests against the israeli prime ministers. planned judicial overhaul asked despite benjamin netanyahu delaying the change is by few weeks to reach a compromise with opposition parties. bernard smith reports not from television.

day. and at the same time, the russia presides over the un security council. so it is difficult to imagine anything of crimes, the complete bankruptcy of such institutional animals that you are diplomatic editor james base has more on this. now from the un every month, the presidency of the un security council rotates among its 50 members. today, russia is assuming the presidency for the month of april, that's deeply controversial because when russia had the presidency last year was february, the month that they invaded ukraine, there are people calling for russia to be kicked off the security council or kicked out of the united nations, but if you look at the rules and you look at the un charter, those things are not possible. what we do know is that later this month, the russian formula laboratory will be here in new york. you'll be sharing a number of meetings including one in defense of this document, the u. n's, founding charter, other diplomat say that is very cynical when it's russia that is currently

breeching. this charter, with its ongoing war, james bay's al jazeera of the united nations, which had gown is the un direct throughout the international crisis group. he says, russia knows it's on the defensive, within the us system. i think the russians are a little nervous themselves. i think they realize that they are in the spotlight in new york now. and if they do the presidency to try and put some sort of pressure on the ukrainians, they're going to get a huge amount of blow back. the russians have actually laid out a really thin series of meeting or april a lot of days, which are currently now not going to involve any security council meeting. so i think that's because russia knows waiting, you know, they are on the defensive, the blog in the un system. and if they try to use the presidency for malign purposes, it will actually one through the mohammed,

the world of his district or moscow. have you veto to ensure that the council have taken no meaningful action over ukraine? i think it is worth saying, though, that the russians have been quite restrained in the use of the veto on other issues the russians have not used that the so for example, over afghanistan or libya or, or other crises on the agenda, i think they do value the security council as a space where they can do some residual cooperation with western countries. and they don't want to blow that up completely. defense minister has promised to boost weapon supplies to troops on the front line. sort of a short, it has been criticized in recent months. the head of the russian wagner mercenary group has accused have no failing to supply sufficient munitions them as an impression the issue of supplying troops with lethal weapons is currently under constant control by the government. and by the ministry of defense, for example,
