and the opposition on the condo, we are stuck with a government that doesn't function. instead of working, netanyahu's government is waging a war of attrition against the citizens of israel. all the prime minister has to do to prevent destruction and the hatred. and the risk is to announce that he is stopping the legislation and responding to what the people want the most peace and to return to a common life and common good. it is possible, it is within reach, that is what needs to happen now of one this and that speak to all corresponded rama, judging his and occupied a story. so now that as we've been saying, looking at these pictures, the extraordinary lines that it's really tons into quite a protest, a miss down here when you look at this video, it really speaks to the commitment of these protesters that have continued to come out a week after week, month after month trying to protest against the passage of

a bill or the even larger package of proposed bills by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and as far right wing coalition partners, that would critic say substantially, we can the judiciary here. now, when it comes to this specific protest, this march, it started about a day and a half ago. it's going from it started in tell a b, and the plan is for the thousands who are taking part in it that they will end up sunday morning in front of the capacity in front of the parliament. that's when it's schedule that debate will start taking place about this bill. that would, as critics say, substantially, we can the oversight of the supreme court as well as other courts in israel. and the fact of the matter is this is not the only protest you also have have by many accounts, hundreds of thousands of people that have been coming out day after day in the past week, various cities, some of them uh, stopping traffic, um, cutting the highways some of them in front of union building, some of them in front of the supreme court approaches that we cover just

a couple of days ago, trying to get the message across the prime minister that they are committed to continue to come out. no matter the obstacles they may face to send a message that they will not back down if the prime minister does not back down and does not show this very contentious package of proposed laws. that would overhaul the judiciary in this country. sazia. and as people are joining that protest, it also seems a growing number of resolve this. so now planning to suspend there was of do you see if this plan does continue? how might that affect things as well? that's right in this now the over the course, the past 48 hours versus started with the hundreds of reserves across different branches of the as really army saying that they would not show up for their service . if the prime minister went ahead and try to pass any piece of this legislation, proposed legislation into law just today you had over

a 1000 to reserve is who are with the air force. who have also said that they will not report for duty if the prime minister goes ahead and try to pass any piece of the proposed legislation that would we can do this right now. this is something that really is going to put a lot of pressure on the prime minister. and we know that because we've seen the prime minister criticize time. and again over the course of the past week, military reserve is who are threatening to protest. in fact, in the speech of a black guy with, we saw some video of just a few minutes ago towards the end of the speech. he was saying, mr. nothing, yeah. was saying, but he has plans would protect democracy. and he was saying that if military reserve is protests, that is something that would weaken the democracy here. so he's been very critical . he does not want to see reserve his protest, but it looks like they have already said they will. uh and if a few months ago with any example we should expect, but more and more army reserve is will be joining the ranks of the protesters in the coming days. natasha mohammed, challenging that was all the nicest for us from occupied the story summit. thank

you. now and some breaking news. a trial dates has been said for former us president donald trump, to face charges of withholding top secret documents. well, let's go straight to our correspondent mike hannah, who joins me from washington dc like i say, a federal judge has that the 20th of may as the potential start date for the trial . took us through that time. i read lots very close to the republican primaries into to yes indeed. well, the judge eileen cannon has been hearing the argument from both sides. the prosecution wanted the trial to start as soon as december. the defense wanted the trial to start off to the elections because they argued very strongly as that to be trial could impact on donald trump's chances during those elections in november. but what she has done is actually split the difference. that's it where she's gone half way between what each side once she's decided that the trial will be set for 2

weeks beginning be the 20th. now that is bang off to the nomination period for the republican candid see it is before the election. so this is going to have potentially a major impact on the election process itself. and like, i know everyone's had to talk about it as an a number of republican candidates have spoken about the whole issue of this trial. but do we yet have a sense of how much this might really impact things for donald trump? let's okay. well it's very difficult to tell because once again, in the whole scenario, since the trunk was indicted on these 58 counts along with his long time aid, it has been split very much between those who support no time who reject the charges of those who oppose donald trump, who welcomed the charges, saying that he must be held accountable for these actions. so it is a divided country in terms of the impact on donald trump in terms of the impact of

the election itself. even within the republican party, that there's been very strong criticism in some quarters of these charges being brought against donald trump. i must at one very important point here as well and that concerns the judge in this trial, i've even kind of now she was appointed by trump in 2020, as she heard a case in which the, if the trump that the defense argued that she must bring in outside review of the papers that the f, b i had seized from a trans residence. now this was a very controversial decision and was over ruled by the appeal court with some very harsh words for the judge from that appeal court. so clearly here is the judge is now trying to show that she is as level as even as possible. and that's another significance in the fact that this trial date is set half way between what the prosecution wanted and what the defense wanted. not giving an inch either way and my visa or so as we know not they are in the charges,

the trump faces. can you remind us all of the various different charges that the former president faces and how this sits, submit store of that as well. let's look at this particular case that is that a charges have been brought against the full i'm a president. and also he's a will to now to these charges basically arise from the fact that he took documents when he left the white house. but also very importantly, that the argument is that he attempted to conceal the fact and then attempted to obstruct justice when a thought which is wanted to reclaim the documents. so these are a series of charges as suddenly linked to the espionage tact. not that he's accused of spying, but the charges beautiful under the espionage act. so you've got that. but you've also got the special prosecutor jack smith, who's both these charges, looking into allegations of the trump attempting to, but the results of the january 20th election. now as i speak, there is

a grand cheering sitting in dc, which is hearing evidence about this. now, trump has been issued a letter of demand saying that he's a target in this investigation within coming days. that grand jury is likely to decide whether or not donald trump is charged with relation to that which is once again at to these multiple charges that president, for my president trump is facing mike hannah, that was all the nicest for us from washington dc. interesting times and data. thank you. my now moving on and strong winds have re ignited, advised me a degree capital athens was making a heat wave while the size of already force thousands of people to leave their homes with ours, he's confirmed to the flames. had initially been contained over night, but firefighters then lost control. rising temperatures of up to 44 degrees celsius are expected across squeeze our correspondence. stephanie deca has the laces from andrea, and that's on the outskirts of bathrooms. the,

so it's not just the greek fire department that is flying here. you will still have help from the french from the spanish multis cypress, other international countries, pretty much under control according to the authorities at the moment. but the concern is exactly that, as we say, it is the wind direction. we were talking to one of the international teams here who said, no, it isn't even particularly the heat wave. that is the problem. the temperature is the problem. it's the lack of humidity and it is the wind that is because you have this very arid level, dry line. this is all pine forest. so this is the issue when the wind picks up that quickly, it can reignite. so that is the issue. you can see now there's no helicopter, there is wind back, and that is why the constantly still pouring water from the sky is not just how the culture is also assessment aircraft military aircraft to try and contain what's burned around 35 square kilometers a forest outside of the greek capital acids,
