5:14 pm
such a way to see a new cache and this time between the patient forces and the christian believer or not. so here it's not only their policy and one of them who are complaining about the israeli policy here. but now to see that the christians are also seen that israeli government, year by year is the reason the restriction and the common with the new procedures with the new protocol that is making it impossible to have free access to the worship. places on the ground. yes, seen that the valid petition forces are imposing the barrier and also checking all the people and they're also making it compulsory for the church to send out the invitations for those who are going to attend the ceremony. if anyone doesn't have that invitation is not going to be a love to get in the church. and the church is saying that this is a definite way, elation of the status quo, and also freedom off did of the of the movement and also freedom or worship. and

5:19 pm
it's all about politics and diplomacy is that's right, this is the really important day from the diplomatic and cultural perspective as well. i'm president biden meeting the irish president michael the higgins this morning. i was about an hour late getting there, but the symmetry between those 2 men is remarkable. at both east 8081 are both her lovers of irish poetry and the president biden signed in the visits of book. your feet will bring you where your heart is, an old irish proverb emphasizing i think jude bivens deep affection and affinity for ireland. he's now with the irish prime minister, the t shirts. lear, veronica, and that is turning more to those conversations more on a, on a re political and diplomatic level. and he's been speaking about ukraine lever. i'd comprising america's leadership on the war in ukraine, and the struggle with russia are talking about the u. s. protecting democracy and
5:20 pm
liberty. and that ireland and the u. s. have the same values and concerns and in about an hour from now, depending on whether the shed your slips a little bit, we're expecting president biden to become just the 4th president. to address it a joint gathering of both houses of the irish parliament, the doyle and the senate. and that really is the centerpiece of this day 2 of president biden's visitors of the republic of ireland. paul, president biden, as you were talking about, has been making a great deal of his, his irish roots as least his high risk connections during this visit. how of people in ireland been reacting to while the irish governments is described relations between ireland and the u. s. is very, very warm and i don't think that is an exaggeration at all. certainly the media has been very positive about the way president biden's visit has been covered and the people that he has been meeting all routes. i was up in dundalk yesterday weapons
5:21 pm
day and pouring rain for about 4 or 5 hours that didn't deter people standing at the barricades waiting for a glimpse of president biden as he went past the coverage of his stop and walk about in dundalk. and im, carla carling foot emphasized the fact that he was paying a visit to his cousins up their 4th and 5th generation cousins. and those are ancestral links. go down very well with the audience here in ireland, and i think president biden little hope they got very down. go down very well with irish voters and voters of irish ancestry back in the u. s. as well. so ubs, from the diplomatic and p r. perspective, so fire, it's been a resounding success. but just as you're talking to us, we can see live pictures of fear. the president moving towards the is car. now with leo, veronica, we've just her certainly had, they'll make their way on to their further engagement. st. just being a bag, a load are helped into the car. at least leave what i could appears to be holding
5:22 pm
the door open forums. they're having a brief discussion after that meeting they've had this afternoon. paul, thank you very much indeed for bringing us up to date from dublin, that's paul brennan. while in ireland, president biden's commented on a leak of classified u. s. military documents relating to the war in ukraine. they're said to contain both true and false information. and they've appeared and social media, and recent wolves writer says investigators are getting close to establishing the source. i'm not concerned about the lady is and i'm concerned it happened. but there is nothing contemporaneous with where that is. there is a full grown investigation going on and you know, with justice department and they're getting close. we don't, i don't have an ex. well, hundreds of thousands of people are rallying across france for a 12 week against changes to retention law. they're angry after presidency longmont forced the bills from parliament,
5:23 pm

5:24 pm
all. in fact, one, the old, the arguments of the purchase is make so often is that they feel that the person to simply disconnected from the way the older people live from what they want to say. that he's just not listening to what part just say, look, we've been in the streets now since the beginning of january trade, union leaders the same. but this bill is on popular opinion. polls show that it is deeply unpopular with some 3 quarters of the french public, but yet person michael doesn't seem to be giving any concessions any only approaches. in fact, this week president michael was on a visit to the netherlands and he said that he is waiting for the verdict from the constitutional counsel. he assumed that there will be his bill will be approved and he said good for him. that will be really the end of this chapter they will in the debate, is at this point who built. and he said that maybe in the future you would like to talk to trade union leaders. but look, that's definitely probably not gonna get very down very well with then trade union leaders just had a meeting with macros, prime minister last week,
