business critical analogies ever. there is no channel that covers world news like we do. we revisit places the state al jazeera, really invest in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, the 1st commander of the lebanese army after independence from france, who took over as president at the time of crisis in a deeply divided country. 50 years after his death al jazeera will tell the story of ed she, her architect of the modern lebanese states, the soldiers statesman, honor jazeera, ah fury on the streets of france, software court cleared the way for a minute microns deeply unpopular pension reforms.

a public referendum on the issue the bill set to raise the retirement age and france from $62.00 to $64.00 microns fight, force the deeply unpopular bill through parliament without a vote. what can i say? i'm shocked. we're living in a democracy and it's not an empathy. so yes, i will continue to manufacture as coverage as low as softer. this denial of democracy has sparked such deep anger amongst the people. we hope that work at students that they wake up, that they take to the straits, that anger explodes. we hope that you will happen may be tonight, and a new movement will be born, wasn't an attack about a joyous with our live her from paris, sir natasha, clearly an important day, an important decision for president her and my new micron is a fade to say he's come out on top after all of this

will look, this is a win for present emanuel macaroni, the francis constitutional council approving his pension reform bill, a bill that is being controversial. but a bill, the press on mcgraw said was absolutely essential to push through for france. he is wanted to reform francis pension system a since his 1st term in office. he says it's essential that the systems are changed and reformed and modernized in order to be sustainable for future generations or the fact the council has approved it. it is a win for him and on my call, but there is no doubt that it has come at a price. we've seen months of protests here in france. manor micros government pushed this bill through parliament by decree that has upset many lawmakers, many and peas. as well as, of course, the opposition that we've seen in the streets. many people are upset across the country about this pension reform because they feel it is unfair and they're angry that it has gone through. so for manual macro is now facing

a situation to which he needs to try and rebuild trust with the trade unions with some opposition, lawmakers and with segments or french society that's going to be easy. he's going to want to push ahead with his reform gender. but it's going to be challenging. natasha. it's very difficult to imagine given the, let's call it strength of feeling that we've seen on the streets of paris. another city, sir. where do we go from here today? well, if that's a big question we in fact i've just been walking through the streets of paris just before speaking to you. we've been following a groups of protesters and groups of police officers. also that are trying to clear these protesters from the streets because what we can thing the last couple of hours since this decision from the constitutional counsel is some violence, some protests of the satellite to been. some protesters have also clashed with police as a sort of thing we've seen over the last few weeks and months because so many

people feel very strongly about this pension reform. of course, most of them are peaceful processes, most of them are not violent, but what we're seeing are people who've told us this evening again and again that they going to continue to protest to continue to demonstrate against this reform that they feel is unfair. but look, is not clear which way we'll go because although there are many who say they want to continue in the streets, trade union lead to 70, asking for that. there are others who feel that perhaps now with this decision, by the constitutional counsel that maybe it's over. maybe there's a point going out and demonstrating again because they feel that it might not have any impacts. but what nearly everyone has said to us is that come the next election . they're going to remember what has happened or i natasha. many thanks, van natasha. butler live in paris. as being a major step towards ending the 8 year war in yemen for the 1st time since 2020 who t rebels and the saudi led coalition, a holding a large scale prisoner exchange, hundreds of detainees are expected to be released over the next 3 days. in the

capital santa b 1st groups of hootie prisoners have arrived home where we challenge as more on the breakthrough international airport in yemen. the men leaving this plain, returning to freedom, was released as part of a prison swap between saudi arabia and the iran back to the rebels. now we are happy to return to the capital some after we were in the presence of the enemy. he thanked abdul malik l, who's the corporation on the kitchen this asked of these prisons. it's a huge moment for them personally. but it's the realization of a political breakthrough to around $900.00 prisoners will be released in the exchange. it's part of a deal. reach in negotiations between the 2 sides, seeking an end to the near 9 year war mediated by a man. the international committee for the red cross is over seeing the prison

swaps the look of defense saved now to a look of happiness. exactly. what's all about? we are proud ideas that aren't going to agree with the heads of our colleagues, the yemen, your griffin, my city stated this, that's the 1st day we have 2 days to come and hopefully things will go smooth. landing at the same time, and hayden was a plane from to now, if that cross carried him and he government officials released by the fees, they included emmons for my defense minister in the middle here. and the brother of the president's behind him. of course, it's a quiet stick and if it is step and it's the bidding of damage, we'll trust between the legitimate government and dad. he also picked the way to the beach, a plan in the human un broken 6 month truth officially ended in october, but still largely holds. the recent diplomatic push comes of the 2 main players and

what is often called a proxy will have made peace last month, saudi arabia and iran agreed to when their 7 year diplomatic rift re established diplomatic ties in a deal broken by china. this is the 1st concrete result of not only a whole, many mediation by the iran saudi agreement, which is beginning to bear fruit in yemen at least, if not yet elsewhere in the region. a significant moment, most definitely. however, finding common ground between saudi arabia and the hotties for a long lasting piece will take more work and more time. we tell how to 0, roaches here is hash m l barrow has covered the conflict extensively. he says the prisoner exchanges a significant development. the 2 key parties here, the, her thes of internationally recognized government are, are divided along sectarian lies the host. these are sadies,

an offshoot of shies lamp. the internationally recognized government predominantly sundays operating in the southern part of the country and the center. they have been struggling to come up with an agreement and the stumbling block has always been president exchanged. this time, it was made impossible for the supervisor that the saw. these other iranians, both key players with a huge influence in him and decided about it's about time to settle those differences aside and negotiate a new architecture in the region. and they chose yemen. and they asked their own proxies their to come together and negotiate this. and this is quite significant development of the country with hope that this could be conducive to a political settlement that would put an end to 8 years of bloody confrontation, but with a different wearing factions operating in yemen or the war in yemen. crazy is what the united nation says repeatedly called the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

around 375000 people have died in the conflict. millions more have been displaced. david grassley is the un humanitarian coordinator for yemen. he says, a cease fire will be of great benefit to the people of yemen. the only way to find it to reduce it in humanitarian assistance, is to find a into the conflict. so we were very hopeful that this move continues the ending of the air strikes the cessation 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, but enough to get medical cases out so that people can get treatment. many have wait years for such treatment, so these are all very positive signs of what even

a limit the truce can do. so we expect much more with a with a cease fire, a potential settlement and conflict. last year we saw some progress with 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 needs for assistance as recovery kicks in. it won't be over night. ah, so, but it will be a good start. we also have concerns on land mines of all across the front lines. land mines out excluded ordinance 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 are going to 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. ah,

21 year old member of the u. s. air force national guard has appeared in boston federal court jack to share i was charged with the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents and materials in his 1st caught appearance is accused of one of the largest classified information leak. since edward snowden, let's go straight to i white house correspondent, kimberly house for more in this. and of course, these are grave accusations under us law. something the authorities we know don't take lightly. what happened in court today? yeah, it was a very emotional moment in the courtroom as jack to sure appeared before a federal judge. there were 3 of his family members in the court room along with a crowded court room of spectators. we understand that he made eye contact and there were teary eyes by the family members, as they saw him appear before the judge. to hear those charges against him. we

should point out that the federal bureau of investigation or f b i is still conducting an investigation, so there could be more charges forthcoming. and those charges that have been laid so far do carry hefty penalties. now, there have been questions raised about how somebody so young could have access to such a serious a information. information that is classified information that contains a highly, highly sensitive intelligence send in. we should explain that when it comes to top secret security clearances in the united states. it is not unusual for very low level members of the military, even in this case, a member of the air national guard. in the case of jack to shera, this is a volunteer position where someone would serve maybe once a month be called in cases of national emergency to have such a clearance. but it is not uncommon. however,

it is something that is now under review in terms of whether or not that is still a good idea to handle these types of clearances on our sort of a wide spectrum. moving forward, according to the attorney general merit garland, the department of defense is leading an important effort now to evaluate and review the national security implications and most important to conduct a review of the methods of access to accountability and control procedures that the department has. so that something like this can never happen again. we should point out that the u. s. president jo by the and also the commander in chief of the u. s . military is praising law enforcement for their swift effort in apprehending the suspect jack to share our with regard to this case. he is also pointing out that the white house is not confirming the validity of these documents that have

appeared on line. also acknowledging that there could still be more that could be revealed as a result of the fact that so many were present in the public domain before they were detected. what we do know is right now, some uncomfortable conversations are taking place with partners and allies. given the fact that some of that intelligence that's been exposed involves partner nations. we should also point out that well, this was the 1st hearing for jack to shera. there will be another hearing next week that's known as a detention hearing. that is where his bail will be sat and it is expected to be a very high price tag in terms of his bond. alright, kimberly, it may be thanks to that can be how could live in washington still to come on al jazeera, brazil was president lula to silver lands in china, to boost 40 cools the countries extraordinary relationship. and you as president joe biden person emotional reunion on the last day of his successful tool provide
