which has a cafe in st. petersburg in russia. that's according to tass news agency, just to recap, one person dead. 6 people wounded in an explosion of the cafe in st. petersburg and russia will bring you more details, of course, as soon as we get them. well, israel's cabinet has approve the creation of a controversial so cold national guard. this will be funded through major budget cuts across ministries. the national guard will be controlled by the far right, security minutes. it's a mob been given. he says it's critical in the fight against what he calls terrorism. now position lee, the le paid as a cues the government of trying to create a private militia for it's a mob been given. shall i show boca kits? who saw the government approved horizontal cuts to fund been give is private militia. they will cut health education, security, all to finance

a private army of thugs for tick tock. the priorities of the government are ridiculous and despicable. the only thing that keeps that busy is running over democracy and promoting extreme fantasies of delusional people came across. bernard smith has the details now from western bank has been pushing for more and more recently over the past couple of months. because you haven't been given any control over the police or the military now with water. you've heard, we've heard critics of cold, his own private militia. he says he will be able to stop terrorism of a national security incident. the thing is, this wasn't really getting off the ground until last week, and then all of a sudden there's these mass protests and then the national strike last monday for things. benjamin netanyahu to promise to at least postpone. i plans to introduce it overall of the judiciary to get bank of a and his fall right. our lives in the cabinet to agree to the spoken. netanyahu

says ok, you can have this national guard both issues very important bang there. and the settlers, he's back in support and he's other allies in the cabinet. so there's a long way to go before it gets off the ground. but it's an indication sort of chaos we've seen in israeli politics over the last few months that were once bank of it was not going to get the national guard all of a sudden because netanyahu's face, there's massive, unprecedented protest against plans to overhaul the judiciary. suddenly you have to cave into been given, given what he wants so that he can try and move forward with this over whole of the judiciary. hello to zach. he is the founder of the front for the protection of democracy and chair of the merits. party executive joins us now from tel aviv good to have you with us. so 1st of all, what impact will the mandate of this force have on the rights of

palestinians with israeli citizenship on the relations between arab and jewish is ready citizens? well dis this national so called national guard. according to mister big beer was founded after the clashes between arab and jewish citizens. 2 years ago during the operation in, in gaza, which triggered unrest within the some joint, jewish and arab towns and cities in israel. and also even the nature of the initiator of this particular force, mr. bent vs who's known to be a long member and activist in the the race is

a honda movement which was declared both in israel and in the united states as a terrorist organization. and the fact that he rose into power in the last elections with, with the acceptance of mister nathan, you know, but he rose into power by promising to show who's the owner of this country, who's the owner of much, not a very how would i say unclear hinge what, what does he need? this is someone who's affiliated with really some violent and racist organizations and groups within israel, only this last thursday he, he went to visit a rally, organized by a group of football fans,

is known for its violent attacks and races. and again, he's rarely our citizens. so this is the guy, and that's what he's promot, by the way, against a clear statement by the attorney general and by the legal council of the national security ministry saying that this force what they haven't been enough preparation to form such a force. but nonetheless, the audio and his government approved. alright, it's quite clear then i think what you're saying is a man convicted. he was actually convicted of supporting a terrorist organization in 2008 by jerusalem court. he cannot credibly lead what's being billed as an anti terror force. why then is nathan yahoo going for this wise, even cutting the budgets of all the ministries to fund this i

believe it's a combination of nathan yells, weakness, and the nature of this particular coalition. his weakness, and it's a now unlike some other coalitions we had before, is not the strong men of this coalition. mister bang, for instance, should be choose to leave the coalition. not that he has any alternative coalition, but that means that the call, the 64 seats coalition will collapse bank. we knows this. and he, he told me to know that if he wants to, you know, the, the biggest thing right now and he's very politics and in these very society is the judicial overhaul that mr. anthony and his, the minister of justice, that is to levine, are promoting mr. bennett, who is a big fan of this judicial overhaul, so that the now listen, if you want to freeze the legislation for a month,

then you have to give me this national guard. so you both black commitment on the oh, but as i said before, and the now was the one who was pushing bank, where was the g demising baby the 1st place. and he very much enjoyed the votes that came to been to form his coalition. so it's a kind of a dual thing of that aim in having a far right correlation that will never question is you know, is personal interest in judicial over hold together with that weakness, political weaknesses, same coalition. i thank you so much for talking to us or evacuation. thank you. now the syrian defense ministry says 5 military personnel have been injured in israeli as strikes. israel is declined to comment on the reports of the latest attack in western syria on sunday. it comes days after 2 members of iran

revolutionary god were killed in damascus. iran's foreign ministry spokesman says the wrong reserve, the right to respond to israel's aggression at the appropriate time. prime minister benjamin netanyahu did not directly mention the strikes during sunday's cabinet meeting, but he did have this to say. and then we collect a heavy price from the regimes that support terrorism outside the borders of israel . and i suggest to our enemies that they should not gloat over the internal diffuse among us, as it will not affect our firmness, our ability and our drinks, to act against our enemies on all fronts. and every place and time. a saudi arabia and other oil producers from the pac plus the lines of an ounce production costs amounting to $1150000.00 barrels per day. the cuts will come into effect from may, re, are described move as a precautionary measure to stabilize the oil market. the u. s. as opposed output

caught saying the world needs lower prices to support economic growth. legislative elections that taking place in finland where right wing parties are hoping to see the prime minister, son, emery and took power in 2019 becoming the world's youngest leader. she's not popular with conservatives and nationalists who say she's been reckless with public spending. really challenge reports with each slip of paper. finland's next government is being decided, but it's been too close to predict a winner. neither the social democrats nor the national coalition party, nor the fins party held a significant lead in pre vote. opinion polls coalitions are the norm in finland with a winning party getting the 1st attempt at forming a government. i noticed on a nice, very popular and she's done great that most of the fins also think that she did an amazing job with the current wires. but it may be,

we have to look at new ad crises that we have and some of us still believe that she does very good job. other people who need when something new, with her youth and progressive politics, santa marion has been popular among young moderates at home and abroad with bart's living costs surging and finland is teetering into a recession, made a by finishing up campaigning on saturday, marin acknowledged she's fighting for her political survival, that the chase, i mean very highly upgrade. are you that hard? i did other any one of these, a party with mariners presided over finance, biggest geopolitical transition in decades. applying to join nato in response to neighboring rushes, invasion of ukraine. but opponents were quick to jump on, a leaked video of her drinking and partying. the friends saying she wasn't fit to

govern. marin was cleared of wrongdoing, and arguably criticism of her government's public spending has hit her more. for me, i'm burdened by the economics. actually read like too much debt. i think i wish you would have a belfort, they still in 20 years time, but with the current expenditures and dep thinking i'm worried about how we can afford the welfare states in the future. having become the world's youngest prime minister, $34.00, it's possible santa marian could be an ex prime minister at $37.00, lori challenz, how to 0. and the montenegro people are voting in a presidential run off between the incumbent needle joke of which the former economy minister, the president of the most, the ceremonial post. on the joker of which the small nation joined nato, started negotiations for membership and moved away from russia. however, his party is accused of corruption and links to organized crime. but now jury and

very debatable human life organizations that attended some of the her meeting, so abbreviated, got a bill as his last the last month have accused the authorities of not a given mr. kirby felt trying. he's one of his lawyers will be there soon. said that documentation that he see of my funds for them abroad. well, actually 25000 pounds from here. sounds daughter who is a reseller child working in london and she gave him that money as a loan because she is a shareholder in his company. faith, some financial difficulties paying his and that's why you received the google money. since it said the was a j cluster diesel away. he's flying. the spoke responsible act was

. just a shower here or there. the wet weather for the north of this across northern areas of pakistan and snow expected on the mountains that'll stretch through to nepal. some where to where they're coming in to be turned over the next few days. but things are looking much dryer for the east to this for bangladesh. when you deli, we will see clear sky suddenly by thursday that was move east to east asia, was seen very heavy rain effect north central parts of china flooding down pool is expected from that system. that is working its way slowly east, has got a wintery edge across its northern flank, much dryer for the south of this, just a few showers coming in to hong kong. and we'll see that wet or weather start to skirt its way across the korean peninsula. on tuesday, ah, with a

blue ah, welcome back here watching al jazeera time to recap, the headlines were getting some breaking news in from russia, where a report say at least one person has been killed and 16 injured in an explosion at a cafe in the city of saint petersburg. the cafe was hosting an event held by

a military figure will have more information as it becomes available. israel's cabinet has approved a major budget called across ministries to fund the national guard, headed by the fall rights security minister. it's a mob been given says it's critical in the fight against what he calls terrorism, federal and is voting in parliamentary elections with the fall rights and sent to ride, hoping to unseat santa marine. she took power in 2019. the vote comes just days before the e u member is set to join later. now the us secretary of state anthony blinking is called for the immediate release of american journalist. even gush of which that was in a call with his russian counterpart, cosca, which is a correspondent for wall street journal newspaper. he was detained by russian security agents on 1st day on allegations of spying. get more on this from patty

call. hi, in, in washington d. c, so it's quite rare to hear about talks direct talks between the 2. why did those discussions go according to us officials? well, there couple notable things about this phone calls. you mentioned the fact that they even had this conversation since the invasion of ukraine by russia. the 2 leaders haven't spoken until just last month. we're a very brief conversation on the sidelines of the g 20. it's noticeable also notable also because how soon it is happened just days after the journalist was arrested. now it was the usual statement you hear from a state department, read out of a phone call that the condemned are the that they condemned the a rest said that there's an excess, unacceptable, and that the he needs to be released immediately. now they didn't name the journalist by name, but he did gone to name paul whelan,

he's another american that the u. s. has been trying to negotiate to get his return . he's been sentenced to a 16 year prison sentence in russia, and then there was another line that stood up as stood out because you don't normally see this in the usual readout. it said that they discussed the importance of creating an environment that permits diplomatic missions to carry out their work . so reading between the lines you could possibly see that as the you are saying, there could be consequences to the russian mission here. because of the arrest or it could be because the u. s. is concerned, there. diplomats are going to get access to evan gerberg, excuse me, evan girth greevich. and it's highly matter. so why does that matter? well, once they me with him, they can die dead. did they can basically name him wrongfully detained. what does that mean? what means his case shifts to a whole other part of the state department? their sole job is to get back americans that have been held hostage. it increases the resources that they can do that the they would then take the lead for the

negotiations. so most likely that was the secretary of lincoln's way of saying that they expect delays, but they don't, they won't find them acceptable in getting counselor access to the detain journalist or i thanks so much for the call. hang. how thousands of disabled ukrainians have in institution institution license the start of the war. many of the soviet era facilities provide patient's minimal comforts and little freedom. there are concerns ukraine's efforts before the war to reform. social services have been set back, is jona hall report from one of the anchor northwest of keith. it looks like a prison exercise yard, but these men, a mental health patience, captives of a different sort. in the prison of the mine. they looked after here with great care, along with the elderly and those with disabilities. together they make up one of

ukraine's many worsening wartime crises must w. this guy was shocking, and there will be even more a psychologically damaged men return from the war. marina was in charge when russian soldiers heading for cave surrounded the facility in february last year. little the owners that have it affected them a lot almost every day. now we take some of the boys for psychiatric treatment to support their emotional stays. some of become more aggressive after what they went through. there was gunfire and explosions. 12 local people were killed, including 4 of her residents. a horror of it deepened their trauma. and there been other changes newcomers from areas near the front lines like alina, who arrived here with her mother from now occupied eastern ukraine, homeless and without relatives, to careful them. it's estimated more than $4000.00 elderly ukrainians with

disabilities have ended up in state run institutions that barely have the resources to cope. at that, this institution is one of the best in the key region. and you can imagine what they're like in the east, more than 800 kilometers away. soviet era institutions like this were often built in remote locations deliberately to keep disabilities hidden. which is partly why this one fell in the path of the russian invasion. now a sector that had been modernizing before the war has been set back and he's under extreme pressure. arlena stayed on to care for residence as russian soldiers set up firing positions outside. they put waters and grad rocket systems in the field over there. she explains. those are really couple of the local and the there is currently a great need for these facilities for people who lost their homes, their loved ones, left alone with their problems, who will help them except organizations like ours, the sound of

a piano brings welcome cheer alex, has been a resident here for 4 years. when the russians came, a friend told him to run, and so he did. returning as soon as they left to the care that now is in high demand. but short supply, jonah hall al jazeera, borrowed yankee bringing some more breaking news out of russia and that explosion at a cafe in the city of saint petersburg. those giovanni joins us from moscow also. can you tell us? well, sammy, what we know at this point is that a 40 year old member of russian military by the name of labs and to tar sky, has died. this man is not just an ordinary russian soldier. he is the well known blogger, who was reporting on the conflict, and he has written many books in russia. he's well known for his feelings

and opinions about the russian military. he was also a special correspondent for the state tv as well. he was looking to reach out to cafe in petersburg at this afternoon in the very populated area in the city university embankment in st. petersburg. and that's when an explosion happens and he has been killed as a result of it. now this cafe was packed with people who had gathered to hear him speak. and officials at the moment say at least 16 other people have been injured in this attack, which officials are now calling a terrorist attack. this 40 year old going to tar sky, but someone who was very adamant leave supporting russian military activities in the bass region and the special military operation of the russian calling it in ukraine. in february 2022,

he was in dumbass and he himself enlisted in the eastern, at the top of the russian military. and he was reported to be managing drones and calculation, making calculations for you in the russian military. and so this attack is certainly going to raise some serious questions about the safety of russia soldiers, even off the battlefield. and what the russian military will say will have to wait and see in the coming hours. but certainly it's going to be seen as a direct attack on russian soil as it happens in st. petersburg. all right, thanks so much still said jabari. then let's continue this though. with pavel falcon. how he's a defense and military analyst joined us from moscow. good, happy will. so 1st of all, what do we know about any sign,

any indication of who might be responsible? low right now, no one to responsibility. but the attack was a band we targeting kind of pro, cram on a pro war activist or patriots or call. so z people who, because the english rector z is the symbol, the russian soldiers put on the tags and other, the cars and the sign up those who support the russian operation and ukraine. and it was a targeted attack against those people and the speaker there at this gathering of these activists was well known, figure, an activist and the blunder and the volunteer. so this was

a targeted kind of attack on those were who support the operation in your brain? we had an incident. i'm sure you recall pavel in august of last year, where a tv personality see the commentator daddy ado geena was killed by an explosion she, again, a daughter of a figure that known to be very much pro kremlin pro or even inspirational figure. we are told for president putin is a patent here. we don't want to speculate about who's responsible is a pattern emerging here of the sort of profile of people who are being killed in these kinds of mysterious explosions. a yes such attacks had happened before. there were a different attacks in the dawn bus itself against the shade, those who supported the operation, especially those inside the operational zone,

like those who worked in russian administrations of take an hour. so there are many effects of that style in that on bus. there was a pac on a do gonna close to moscow in the suburbs of moscow. and so there is mostly, if such a banks have been happening in the don bus o lesser extent, inside russia. this is may be the 2nd such a serious attack against the well known figure. it could become a pattern or if for some kind of, i don't know. i don't know who that may be. there may be some kind of ukrainian groups, i don't know, but this could become a serious bathroom if there's burned could be other a cag inside, deep inside russia, in moscow, in saint petersburg. whatever official investigation said in relation to some of those pre.
