6:02 pm
a major step towards ending the war there for the 1st time since 2020, who the rebels and the saudi led coalition are holding a large scale prisoner exchange. more than 800 detainees are expected to be released over the next 3 days and in the capital santa, the 1st group of healthy prisoners has arrived home as a vehicle in the hot, i was taken detained in an area of yaktel america. i was imprisoned in an iron factory for 7 years. are young enough to die is victorious day. the day when my brother was released off to 7 years, we never lost hope and i do not feel like i had in my how it feels clear now. and this is port of broader diplomatic efforts to end the 8 year conflict. oman has been meeting a mediating talks to make the temporary cease fire become permanent. stephanie decker begins, are coverage ah, free men at last a momentous moment. not only for them personally,
6:03 pm
but politically to ah, around $900.00 prisoners will be released as part of a prisoner swap between saudi arabia and the iran. back to thes. the exchange will happened over 3 days. part of the deal reached in switzerland last month. the international committee for the red cross is overseeing the transportation of these men to saudi arabia in yemen, among those being freed, yelman's, former defense minister, and also the brother of the president. the result of negotiations between the 2 sides to seek an end to the near 9 year war. i think that the visit of visit with the ambassador to santa has actually moved at this service sir, but is not an exchange. ava those and i have syndicalism as is to is o d r a bit. they are already of what a full exchange of but isn't that is in both sides with j. a could be about $15000.00, but his notice of course it's yet a quite significant step. oh,
6:04 pm
it's the bidding a gun ritual or trust between the legitimate government and dal ot. i'd also attempt the way to it is a black m u n. o. yemen un brokered 6 month truce officially ended in october, but still largely holds. the recent diplomatic push comes as the 2 main players and what is often called a proxy war, have made peace last month. saudi arabia and iran agree to end their 7 year diplomatic rift and re establish diplomatic ties in a deal broken by china. in a statement, the u. s. special envoy for yemen said that yemen is witnessing an unprecedented opportunity for peace. a significant moment most definitely. however, finding common ground between saudi arabia and the who thes for a long lasting piece will take more work and more time. stephanie decker of j 0
6:05 pm
as the zeros hush him or hell bar has covered the conflict extensively. he says the prisoner exchange is a major development it has been for many is the biggest problem in emer, which is basically st. i'm the warning fashion cinema we're trying to come up with a political settlement. there will disagree about the prisoners exchange. it never works except for few occasions or sometimes clerics until i believe there's would broke out a deal. but we're talking about few numbers of prisoners to be swap this time, 2nd time significant. and it gives us an indication that what we are seeing now in the m and happening could be conducive to face to, which is going to be a political settlement with an interim government in yemen. the saudis hope to see that government implemented within 2 years with that happen. so you have to wait and see, but this prisoner's exchange is quite significant. development is but also the bill of confidence. building measures between the health is how controlled and other
6:06 pm
parts of the country and the internationally recognized government, backed by cited ravia. 2011 was the out of spring. but that abs spring suddenly evolved into something different. an unprecedented level of violence and deepening, sectarian divide. each time you would see an area you had, you have to think about, took the players written by a saudi arabia with spies itself on being the protector of son, islam, chia and iran prize itself on being the defender of she or islam. this refreshment could be the beginning of the angel that deepening sectarian device to do this, you have to have a permanent settlement in yemen. and the war in yemen created with the united nations ev, repeatedly called the world's worst humanitarian crisis. around 375000 people have died in the conflict and millions more have been displaced. earlier i spoke to the un humanitarian coordinator for yemen. david grassley and i began by asking him the impact that this truce will have for the people in yemen will,
6:07 pm
can only benefit our, our work. but only that bit of is the population. the only way to do to reduce it in humanitarian assistance is to find her into the conflict. so we were very hopeful that this move continues. should yemenis have hope that there a day to day circumstances are going to get better soon? was he, we've already seen evidence of that in the truth that was started a year ago on april 2nd last last year. or we've seen already benefits from that. the ending of the air strikes the sensational hostilities on the front lines. major major improvements in people's day to day lives. secondly, opening the port of who data has allowed fuel and other essential commodities come in freely. the economy is starting to come back, jobs are created and that also helps us move away from humanitarian assistance. and finally, the airports in santa as not fully open,
6:08 pm
but enough to get to medical cases out so that people can get treatment, many of wait years for such treatment. so these are all very positive signs of what even a limited truce can do. so we expect much more with a, with a ceasefire, a potential settlement of the conflict. now if the war does end in yemen, then once the humanitarian outlook at that point, because you still have millions of people who need you and assistance. that's correct. we're we right now there's about 21000000 people. last year we saw some progress of about 2000000 people. no longer requiring 2000000 people less, no longer requiring humanitarian assistance for food distribution, for example. but still there's going to be a, a long time of need for assistance as recovery kicks in. it won't be over night. i so, but it will be a good start. we also have concerns on land mines of all across the front lines.
6:09 pm
landmines, unexploded ordnance remain a major threat and we see casualties 2 to 3 times a week. people killed, maimed men, women, and particularly children. so there are many things we're gonna have to work on, even with a settlement, probably the biggest is the return home or resettlement of the 4500000 people displaced by the conflict. that's, that's a huge percentage of the population. they will need tremendous support to, to reintegrate back into, into any society. we've got plenty more coming up. this use our, including the international monetary fund painting. a gloomy picture of europe's economic future will be live in washington with the latest on the annual meeting. and in sports i found the tao has some bad news for his fans. details on that later . the zone ah
6:10 pm
21 year old member of the u. s. air force national guard has appeared in a boston federal court at jack to shera was charged with the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents and materials. in his 1st court appearance, he's accused of one of the largest classified information leaks since edward snowden. what do we know about jack to shera at this stage? well, he's 21 years old. he's a reserve of the u. s. air force. he joined the massachusetts air national guard in 2019 where he was a member of the intelligence wing to share was reportedly the leader of a discord chat room created in 2020 members of that room of that chat room shared a love of guns, racist means and gaming a report by the billing cat investigative journalism organization suggests that the files emerged on discord in march, but may have been posted as far back as january our white house correspondent, kimberly how could join me now from washington d. c. she's been monitoring this. what happened in court, kimberly how well jack to sarah has made
6:11 pm
his 1st court appearance a preliminary hearing held in boston, massachusetts in the united states. and it has already been a pretty moving experience. we understand. there were 3 of his family members that were in court, apparently making eye contact at one point with their loved one. we do know that there were even tears that were as sort of observed by some of the family members and some of the spectators. this is where he faced the 1st reading of the charges that he is facing. among them. charges include the unauthorized removal of retention of classified information, as well as a possession of unclassified documents pertaining to national security. now, what we know is that this is just a preliminary hearing. this is still the beginning of a very long and lengthy process ahead. and what's gonna happen now,
6:12 pm
both in terms of court proceedings and what may happen to, to assure himself, and also the investigation into how well this was able to happen in the 1st place. yeah, the what we know in terms of just the court proceeding is that he is going to be back in court. he's going to remain in custody, but he will be back in court as early as next week. and this is where there will be a discussion of bail, and it is likely that that will have a pretty hefty price tag. when that means let unlikely that he is going to be freed, given the charges that has been leveled against him. but in the midst of all of this, what we also know is that given some of the revelations of the documents that were placed online, oh, what we also know is that there have been some serious discussions that are now taking place as a result of the revelations, for example, as some what has been revealed has been a surprise to many americans and also
6:13 pm
a number of countries around the world. for example, the fact that in of many cases, the news that there are now us special forces on the ground in ukraine, in fact, $97.00 special forces nato countries or rather is a bit of a surprise. in fact, the defense department here in the united states not confirming that there are american troops on the ground. in fact saying that they won't confirm or deny only saying that when it comes to american forces. but there is no american soldier that is on the battlefield. so there are going to be some policy discussions that are going to be taking place as a result of what has been revealed. this has been somewhat embarrassing for the u. s. military and of course this is just not the u. s. military that is facing some uncomfortable discussions as a result of this very, very high level security information that has now been made public as
6:14 pm
a result of these revelations. yeah, absolutely. and we will continue to monitor the follow kimberly health care reporting from washington dc. thank you very much. francis constitutional counsel is said to make a ruling on the government's changes to pension law in less than an hour. oh, as students have been marching in paris demanding the council reject, the bill is as part of weeks of nationwide protests against the plan to raise the retirement age. from 62 to 64, president dominion macklin forced the bill through parliament without a vote. natasha butler is live for us in paris. natasha. this. the anger has been rising in france ever since he pushed through his bill through parliament. what's the mood where you are? no. one of their suddenly a lot of anticipation in many parts of france ahead of this decision by francis
6:15 pm
constitutional counsel. i look is interesting because the constitutional counsel that examines bales did look at that galaxy. they constitutionality, it does all the time. but it's not often that people actually focus on the work of his council, but he just goes to show you how people in france have really been following every stage of this pension reform bill. because it is that bill that is controversial. a bill that has been so divisive. if you look around me ikea on the square in the center of paris in front of the city hall, hundreds of people have started to gather, protested. some of them have been walking across the city have been processed like this already across france to day and we are expecting a much bigger crowd. i, in just less than an hour when that decision from, as usual council is finally delivered. people here very angry indeed with the punch recall. they don't want to see it go through. they wanted to be scrapped to make it to pass the message. the no matter really from that point of view, what happens this evening that they will continue to demonstrate. and so as we wait
6:16 pm
for the ruley, what run us through the different scenarios that we can expect. hello, there are a few of the constitutional council could decide to scrap at the pension reform belt, but most degree that is very unlikely. indeed, it is very rare that that happens. the most likely scenario is that the council decides to approve the bill, but perhaps with a few modifications, but it's very unlikely to touch the retirement age about age that would go up from 62 to 64. so if that's a, if that bill is approved, if the pension reform go through that is a win for the french president. if i knew my carl that is pushed for this reform, he says that it is important to reform francis pension system to keep his sustainable economically for future generations. he really is the flag barrel, all this pension reform. of course, if it does go through bad news for the trade unions for opponents of the reform
6:17 pm
that say it is unfair that many people have been on the streets now for 3 months. and look, it's unclear which way things will go. some trade, union based trade union leaders, the thing that they will continue to process. they want this protest movement to continue, perhaps, to see if the nor could be scrapped. but others are saying it could be a movement that fates out because some people will feel the really it is over that the law is through business much they do. natasha butler reporting from parents. thank you very much of speak to christopher vice berg. he's a former a, he's a french beg your pardon, a french current, french m p. and a member of president demanded michaels, renee songs, party when he joins us from paris. christopher, thank you for being with us. during, oh you, are you concerned? do you have any concerns that be president at this stage after weeks of anger playing out as they have on the french streets, may have spent his entire political capital on this reform?
6:18 pm
well, you know, it was the most important reform he proposed in his program a year ago when he was elected. so it makes sense that he uses his political capital on this reform. and i believe that on the other way around, if he didn't go through, it could be a way for people to say that he's not able to do what he, he's been pledging for and his program. so either way, you know it's, it's a difficult reform, but i think he has to go through and i'm part of his party and his majority and, and, and, and that's what i think. and that's why we've been very much involved with past weeks to get to get the work done. why do you and why does the president support this to the point that you actually that the president push this through parliament without without the votes? because he didn't have the votes. why do you support this in the face of white
6:19 pm
spread and majority opposition to this reform? well, 1st of all, for good reasons, the age of retirement age today in france is 62. it is in almost every country over $6465.00, the average in europe is $64.00 and a half. so we're 2 years down below the age of those, the average age and europe and in the rest of the world. so it's a question of 1st of all credibility, but more importantly, it's a question of financing the system. we have one of the most generous, a pension public universal pension system in france. it's not a pension fund, it's a universal system where workers are actually paying for the system and for the retired people. so if you don't have enough people to pay for it, then it can't collapse. and what we're trying to push right now is to preserve
6:20 pm
a system which we assume french are very much attached to it. if this reform is so necessary, why a people so opposed to it? and again, the polls say that a majority of the population are opposed to it says, not just those who are taken to the streets, protesting it appears to be according to the polls. a majority of the population. well, you know, it's, it's, it's has, it's, of course, it's unpopular. you're asking every people to work a little more sometimes up to 2 years, but 2 years is in 10 years from now. so for the next few months, it will be 3 months for the next, for the generation of, for, for $962.00 to $72.00 and, and, and for the implemented implement. honestly, it's, you know, it's, it's never popular to ask people to, to work a little longer. but, you know, that's why i think it's all about responsibility and i think governments have and
6:21 pm
are required to take those reforms. and that's precisely why we elected emmanuel michael. he's not in a political platform that said that there were gonna give you know subsidies to everyone. we help to lots of french people during the crisis. but then we also said in a very responsible way that after this we would have to take unpopular reforms and that's part of part of our job. he's got 4 years left on his term. does the french president do you think you'll be able to push through or to or even to get consensus for other reforms after this one after the way, the after the way this one went? well this, this is going to be a tough moments. i personally think that we need to enlarge our majority. that's what actually yes, to the prime minister a few weeks ago when then when, when the address of french people on television. i think they're like major reforms
6:22 pm
that were addressed during that debates about pensions, such as, how do we raise wages and companies? how do we have a better in integration of workers and companies for through, you know, what's a remote work for things that practices that happened during the coven? so there are lots of things to do about working that will be pushed in the next few weeks. and probably, that's the 1st thing, the other part is the, i think this debate show that we need to talk about our institutions and probably to modernize our institutions. you know, you said that there were no votes, but this is strictly framed by our constitution. so we did not like force or tried to impeach the count as a congress. no, we're going out in the votes when and legal to do so. but the government chose to
6:23 pm
bypass the regular parliamentary vote. which happens, you know, which happened like a 100 times over the last 50 years and had a good story, really, us and each time and most of the time people are furious, but it's part of our institution. and that's why i think we'd have to think about how to perform our institutions to probably give more powers to paul humans or christopher vice burger, french member of parliament from m and in the cause ruling party. thank you very much. thank you. the international monetary fund is urging european governments to maintain financial stability or risk lower growth. in advanced european economies, economic growth is expected to fall from 3.6 percent in 2022 to 0.7 this year. in emerging economies, growth is expected to drop the 3.3 percent this year. a falling energy prices,
6:24 pm
unless disruption to supply chains should help ease inflation. but the i m f is urging central banks to maintain tight monetary policies or risk crisis. right, well mike, hannah joins us now from the i. m. s. spring meeting in washington. so what the goals, what does the i m f intend to do about this, mike? well, 1st of all, i must apologize for the music behind me. that's kind of happy at the moment to moroccan group singing because morocco will host a follow up meeting of old bank and i'm at meeting later this year. it's a kind of happy hour in the morning, but what is not happy is the results that have been resolved or reduced for europe, the inflation rate up the growth down. it's described by the author as slow growth and sticky inflation. and looking at those figures, you're looking at a $5.00 inflation rate in at bon says that societies and as much as $11.00 in
6:25 pm
emerging economies, there again, you see a massive drop in the amount of growth. so the a now is to try and create financial stability or maintain financial stability while fighting against inflation. remembering too, as well, but the unseen factors that come into play as the russian invasion of ukraine so clearly showed. and these geopolitical fragmentations are something that are very hard to plan for. how does the i'm a factor that in because of course, that's the elephant in the room, the war and ukraine. ah, this will, this is something that the i m f is deeply concerned about realizing that should countries divide on a economic basis, it's going to cost the world economy trillions of dollars. so the aim as well as to board will maintain some form of political unity,
6:26 pm
but this very difficult to do. i mentioned the example of russia invading you, ukraine, which toll report global supply chains that doesn't meet at impact on the global economy. but you're also looking at other factors like the rift between the u. s. and china, for example. and the threat that countries may follow one all the other leading to this type of global fragmentation, which would cause chaos in financial markets. all right, mike hannah in washington, enjoy the morocco music. thank you. our correspondents across europe have been taking a closer look at the impact that ukraine war has had on local economies. step vos in is in berlin. jona hall is in kiva door. so jabari is in moscow. russian president vladimir put his approval rating is over 70 percent, despite unprecedented economic and political pressures on this country since it began its so called special military operation in ukraine over a year ago. since february 2022 over 11000 sanctions have been imposed on russia,
6:27 pm
making it the world's most sanctioned country after iran, syria, and north korea. but despite the severe economic pressures, unemployment rate here is at an all time low at 3.6 percent. and for many russians, life continues as usual, people i've spoken to save logistics have become more complicated and expensive, but not much has changed. otherwise. one of the main changes that's visible here is the absence of western brands. but it's not as obvious as many outside russia believe less than 9 percent of the nearly $1400.00 e u and g 7. brands that have operations here have divested from russia, and less than 18 percent of us subsidiaries have left russia. that many are still operating, including the american fast food chain subway. one of the main goals of the kremlin has been to maintain social, economic, and political stability in the country. and so far, most russians believe their president has been successful. despite western efforts
6:28 pm
to the contrary door such a bari al jazeera moscow, it's impossible to overstate the devastation wrought by russia's invasion on society here and the lives of ordinary ukrainians. but what makes it worse is the impact of the war on the economy. a staggering 29 point one percent for in gross domestic product in 2022 was announced by the central bank this week that's attributed to the loss of territories and damage cause to businesses and infrastructure and to that that one in 4 ukrainians. he's out of work. 40 percent of families are struggling to meet basic needs. rising to 60 percent in areas worst affected by fighting and inflation sap stubbornly above 20 percent last month. put all of that together and it's 3 of the cost of the war is being counted in just about every home, every school, every business, and every temporary shelter housing,
6:29 pm
some of the millions of internally displaced people across this country. joe know how al jazeera keith germany has been particularly hit hard by the fall out of the war in ukraine. consequences are being felt here at the markets in berlin. food prices had risen sharply up to 20 percent after the energy costs went up from ethically, and especially low income households are struggling to make ends meet. one of the most prominent thing fangs in germany has calculated that the war has cost the german economy more than $100000000000.00. and that each person in germany has lost more than $2000.00 as a result. and the german government is only compensating a fraction of this. the reason for all this is that germany more than any other country, was depending on cheap russian energy for its production. and as a highly industrialized nation, simply meets a lot of energy. and even though the country has managed to avoid an even more

6:46 pm
and ganymede 3 of the biggest moons orbiting the nearest gas giant to earth as well as jupiter itself on fat on put yeah, could ship it there. we can say the jupiter is like minnesota system. imagine the jupiter at the i center is like the star. so in, in the iceland, like the planet fight yesterday, you, scientists believe each hides a dark ocean, 100 kilometers deep or more beneath the pock marked icy surfaces on earth. jupiter is one of the brightest objects in the night sky. these moons are visible through a basic telescope, but it's 600000000 to 1000000000 kilometers away from earth. and getting there without relying on its own fuel means juice needs the gravitational pull of several planets, including our own to pick up enough speed. after leaving earth it's planned, the juice will make one orbit around the sun and then return a few months later to use the gravity of both earth and the moon to gain more speed
6:47 pm
. venus will give it a push in august 2025. before it again passes earth in 20262029. it'll then travel at top speed toward jupiter. that'll catch it in 2031. it will have 4 years to find and measure the oceans. our use domain, caesar reader, low frequency reader. debtor as a default usanga analysis of the sub surface over d i. c moons. so we look her into the mysteries of the soft surface because we can penetrate her for about an kilometers. magnetometers will measure how these oceans move. juice will map materials on the moon surfaces in detail and take photographs . it will spend most of its time in orbit around ganymede, a rare moon that has its own magnetic field services. so to locate the, just the real mission that used to let find habitability of, he does not mean life, it means the conditions for the appearance of life. but that would be a huge step. the pioneering mission is to the end in july 2035. by then,

6:49 pm
the appearance of life on jupiter, then what well, you see the dream mission will really be a mission that go on there. the i could show the eyes, look down. there is nothing knowledgeable, impossible, but of course you have to learn to roll before you can run, enjoy the really worlds for your young person that will for the 1st time or the moon of another planet, any particular thing on the potential life. how would we use that knowledge on earth when you say it's a mission to find a planet that could potentially carry life? what does that imply? well, if you look at the pollution of human culture, big discoveries make sense to discovery. change in the way we'll look at the competitive revolution was all about man's place and universe, and we start to think it differently. imagine, and we know that there is life there. how does that change our perception,
6:50 pm
our own way or relating over self universe and who can say we're going to bring out? what's the hardest part, unexcused it the naive question here. what's the hardest part about sending emission to jupiter? well, there are no no questions, and there are many parts is very far away. the, the shape is very long. radiation is your worst enemy, june or july. 3rd, the virus from a nearby field, which means all sorts of particles are bouncing around that survive in their environment. the difficulties, the medical there is not very much life generating. and actually i would want to know or find a big child in june. i could go on for a long time, anywhere in the child, lindsay, and they're very overcome. and so these missions last years, what's the next step that you are most interested in? what's the next thing you're looking at to know whether the mission is going well
6:51 pm
or not? well as a whole or menu, it is going going to be deployed. so we know the mission, i would tell, but now there is a default checkout which already start checking that every subsystem work. well, i'm the donation and everything isn't one last but for quite some time. but we need to make sure that we have a mission that comprise the fireman, and we'll do the find that we want to get a 5 year provider from the european space agency. thank you so much for joining us today. thanks to you. i've been a pleasure. yes. still ahead on al jazeera and sports old trafford might be known as the theater of dreams, but it's becoming the theatre of nightmares. with this player. details coming up. ah ah.

6:54 pm
a quote heavy toll on him. we competing 3 competitions and then you need is caught. and so a firm leticia, martinez, rafa for out when you are not available suddenly, then all of us have to do it and we have seen, i think on saturday, i require that a good game also tonight he came in and i think he played also, frank would get a chance to call you events has had a better night in the euroleague. they won their quarter final 1st leg match against sporting of portugal. there it is that a recon gatty scoring in the 2nd half to seal a one meal. when it shows a moreno watched his romeus side miss a penalty as the last one nil a wave dutch side fire nord. despite the loss, marina was pretty bullish after the game. i'm speaking to dutch reporter this game, of course, with a rematch last year's conference league final,
6:55 pm
which will know why the victory for the boston munsey will grand re cried aloud. here we see each arizola. this shouldn't drive, you know, you know why? because you cannot win the match that you lost. you lost the game, you cannot win that one. the only problem today is that the game didn't finish this off time with each other and 7 days. and i promise you, if i lose, i sleep, i don't, i don't stay for 10 months. having nightmares. linelle messy and police not alma have a massive game on saturday at the club. look to salvage something from what's been a disappointing season. he has g had been many people's favorites to win the champions league, but they suffered a disappointing exit to buy a munich in the last 16 you might remember now what remains for them is winning the french league. they take on 2nd place loss at home next, and
6:56 pm
a loss in that match would reduce p. s g's advantage at the top of the table to just 3 points. another issue for the french club and not a small one is lanelle massey's future with the argentinian world cup winter out of contract at the end of this season. but we've been speaking to a f p. sports reporter in spain, rich sharma who says that winning this year's legal title actually will not have a major impact on macy's decision. i don't think massey's feature will be influenced by women, the league or not in france with p. s. d. the see them? i think message future in paris is probably coming to an end and he's had a decent 2 years there in terms of his output goals and assess but the things of solid of it obviously with the champions league exit and at the end of the day that's what they brought messy in, and what messy wanted by going to p s d was a chunk when a chunk busy again, because he hasn't won since 2015 when he was a past learner. when they try to invent the symbolic and that's kind of always been
6:57 pm
an issue for messy. he wanted to win more champions. lazy wanted boss lens can be a high level and they, they couldn't, they fell out of the european elite. where will he play next season? is the big, big, big question. i wouldn't 100 percent rule out person man as his club because there are talks of course, a good returns about land where he rides that senior boy and in a sort of romantic sense to be the best place for him. to go to another place, but must he does like to go to a holiday in miami and into miami is an option. i don't know how strong that link is either. i'd be surprised at best. women ended up next season, but it's certainly something that down the line you could see happening, and saudi arabia is the other choice. the idea of again and then our defense renewal of the rivalry with christiana, rinaldo and of course, messy, would be able to make a huge amount of money if he, if he did go to saudi arabia, went to the country's, appears,
6:58 pm
and ad tourism saudi arabia. so maybe that's an avenue that has been, i've been not to say that he's going to go down it, but it's certainly an option. we promised some rough elder down use here it is. he says he is not ready. his words to return to competition. the spanish tennis star has been out of action since losing in the australian open in january. a hip injury has been hampering the 36 year old in the short term. dallas announcement means that he will miss the barcelona barcelona open. 22 time grand slam winter also remains a doubt to defend his french okie title and back in just a moment. good morning. ah. with
