12:02 pm
also being held in several of the cities and towns across the country while we are the counselor and so in consumer assess, let's go to zane bus ronnie's in the capital narrow before us zane, so clearly attend the situation building up. what can you tell us about what's going on and already a while in the last hour, the confrontation between protesters and police has moved one street closer to parliament. and it's only been going on a few hours. but the intensity continues to escalate with every minute where we are now. this is one of the spots where protestors and police are confronting each other. the police fire tear gas and water cannons. and the protesters cheer and push back. they, they've been singing songs about not standing by and letting this evil that they see as this current government, this evil that they see is this finance bill. they, they will not let this prevail. so there's business to and fro on the streets. we
12:03 pm
see mounted police being called in we've seen armored vehicles trying to push back firing water 10, inspire into a gas. but every time that happens, the protesters cheer. they, they re, the day they, they re gather and adapt to different area and then push back against the police line. and this is the admin's slow the to and fro. we've been seeing since this day of rage as the protest this call. it began earlier this morning, this is a politically leaderless, completely spontaneous organic protest movement. that is a rough did in response to the tax side. uh, the 2nd here in a row were taxes are being raised and their message to their leaders is do not raise our taxes. do not make our lives more difficult. what you should do is fight the corruption that has become so completely normalized in this country, fight systemic mismanagement that has been going on for generations. take a pay, cut yourselves,
12:04 pm
but don't make our lives more difficult. the vote is expected to happen. the final vote on this finance bill in the coming hours. we're seeing here, the police presence, a ratchet up. there are plain clothes officers here as well that are now far interior gas and supporting the police or the right police that are here. but it is unlikely that this will have them, in fact, that the bill is expected to pass. it is expected to go through and it's unclear if these protests will change the minds of people here in power and zane. uh, we just saw a picture of the live shot, but i have something on file. i believe it was a tree. it's worth reminding audience that the majority of the people that are out on the streets today, they young people, aren't they? and, and we've already have 2 people, i believe, die so far in these protests how, how much concern is that, that things can really boy, nova that is correct. we've, we've,
12:05 pm
we've seen that the majority of people that are out today on the street that have been coming up in the process. 13 years or 20. this is a young generation who be speaking to them and they say what they are fighting for is their future. they see what's been done in the past. they see that they are essentially paying for the sins the expenses of previous generations and wanting to be doing that. they say that they are here to fight corruption, that they want freedom, they want and what will the previous government, they want this for a government to go. and they want the system that addresses the problems that they know inherently they will have to pay for in the future. and so despite the dust that we've seen, it has not, it has not stopped people from coming out today. in fact, we seen shopkeepers shutter their stores, we seen people from restaurants to in bottles of water to the protesters in support of this organic movement. and we've seen multiple generations as well. the parents
12:06 pm
of young protesters in the past where there would have been fear are now in support of the kids, the young generation of kenya that are out on the streets here today and saying that have been some accusations about the, the, the on fab brutality of us the police, is that something that you're seeing a tool that today? the, the, that's right. there's been a lot of criticism of what many see is a heavy handed response by the police by this government that has been described by analysts, by kenyans, as well as very autocratic. we've seen police here in plain clothes, tried to begin to detain a young woman. she fought back, pushed away and hurled abuse of them as she walked away confidently. but this protest today began with overnight detentions of several,
12:07 pm
a online influencers of social media influencers and people seeing as significant members of this organic protest movement active as though we seem to be feeling the flames of all these protests. and those detentions overnight brought a lot of criticism, but having this sense fuel the energy with which people's been calling on social media for a big presence on the street today. and we've seen more and more people coming out . this is one protest in the city. there are pockets of them, several of pockets of them all around the parliament. the plan is to try to occupy part of it. but so far the police presence here is heavy. it is 6 layers of concentric circles of security around the parliament with rights police armed vehicles, people carriers for potentially to detain people and take them away from here. but in the 1st few hours of this process, we're seeing a lot of consultations,
12:08 pm
a lot of classes with police protesters. we're trying to take over one of the water cannons as well. but so far we haven't seen live fire. they've been fire interior gas giving fire and water cannons, and they've been using non lethal ammunition. but that could change if this protest carries on much longer. that is the fear that people have. but so far, this is the scene that we've been seeing for the last several hours. it escalates the police fire tear gas. we have process running to try to get to safety. and then the police line moves back in the protesters move forward once again. so this has been the anatomy of the morning and is expected to carry on for the remainder of the day. and zane, just to remind the audience it's about 8 post 11 am local in the morning that and we are expecting this vote in parliament a give me a timeline of when that is due to happen. and what exactly are we expecting from
12:09 pm
that? 3rd, why people out trying to get to call them in today. so what we are expecting today is the 2nd reading of this finance build. there have been some amendments, but even those amendments those a terms to try to give a not the protesters that has been wholesale, rejected by the protest movement. they say they wanna scrap the finance bill in its entirety. these protests here today are about trying to push the m piece to make sure that they do not vote for this bill. that is what they are trying to do today . and they're hoping to accomplish that goal. but it seems as though at the moment all parties concerned seem to think that the, the bill will pass. it's expected to happen in the next few hours. we're expecting it to go through. probably in the next hour or 2. 0, for them to at least meet to try to vote on it. that is the that is the anticipated timeline there. but what these protesters are saying is that this bill cannot pass
12:10 pm
that members of parliament needs to put the needs of the majority of the country 1st and not be a lead to would benefit from the passage of this bill. now whether or not these protests will change the minds of those in power. people are skeptical, but what they say is that they will carry on with demonstrations like this. they will carry on putting pressure at street level like this, as long as it takes if that means it carries on for the next sweets they will do that. they say they are willing to continue to do this for another month. if the government does not listen to what they are demanding, then they will shut the country down through these protests that are happening. not just and not roby, but in urban centers in cities across the country. okay, we'll leave you now as a as robbie that for us and already a n z a mentioned these purchased all country wide. let's go now to catherine story . who is in a case to me which is an opposition stronghold. what, what's happening,
12:11 pm
where you are, catherine forcing, we don't have catherine for right now. we will see if we can retents counseling like so on in the program. actually i believe catherine can indeed hear us. catherine, you are in a consumer which is in all positions stronghold. i just wonder what the situation there is we seeing protest uh there as well. yes. up. yes. as of thousands of people have been marching across this, the best thing that they're frustrated about this by non bill. um some of them are saying that they want to march to the state house. yeah. and it's not here in the sewer as well. it's. 8 we've been following reports in outdoor red um,
12:12 pm
in the roof valley. that is uh uh we have moved towards a home. uh where are we seeing protested. uh trying to get to uh route towards um home itself. um, and they say that they want to, to 5 out of that area as well. a lot of them, i'd say that they are very frustrated and they're talking about the very high cost of leaving. the young people were saying that they have no job. they say that they are struggling to make need and know when they hear that know taxes are going to they say, well, what had uh uh, okay. uh, i think we got the gist of what catherine. so it was saying unfortunately that connection to costume is not particularly strong. the lot small on can yet throughout the program. the
12:13 pm
now as well, supreme court has ruled in the last hours so that the army must draw the country's ultra orthodox jews. the running could split prime minister benjamin netanyahu, whose coalition governments also the adults deposited some parts of next me on whose ruling collision on without them, the government will collapse, leading to new elections. the court said, as well as compulsory ministry service does apply to the ultra orthodox, just like other citizens. let's get reaction from amara sure. he's a security ministry studies professor with the don't want institute for graduate studies. he joins us now from london. so i'm on what do you make of this ruling? watson for reaction is unlikely to be to it, especially with the orthodox community in israel. it's a, it's going to complicate things further for. ready or 5 minutes to nothing. yeah,
12:14 pm
for sure. but it definitely it's actually useful for the audience. ready so, oh, we got here on the military side, a crisis of manpower, the strategy employed by a mazda and somebody aliens. and the, all the, the formations in gaza is, is your way. it is all functional and, and strategic billions. because it forces a to the israel to be have more and more soldiers on the don't. ready he is the army, the, to the entire assign. i been into the in $196760.00 solved and split up which is in about 35 hours. cannot control. ready but they've got this tape of 365 square feet on me just up to 7 months. and the reason for that is that the, the strategy that was employed, the multi layered urban warfare on the ground and overground. it needs a lot of soldiers to in shot the it took them 2 divisions to leave the shop,
12:15 pm
the area and off the clearing good house by house street, by street the day where the, where, after that after they left it on us was constituted. and now they have to go back to show this old needs men and need soldiers, men and women. and the, uh, so the, the, the, the, i can tell you, most of the military commanders would be very happy with that decision. it would bring them more men. we know that the 27 percent of the large of, of, of the young lady met in the are in the auto pay. and in, in, in, in, in the, in the all to orthodox community. ready the significant portion, significant percentage, right? i understand and i understand everybody's also all of them are apologies for interrupting i. i realize it would be a huge advantage in terms of having extra bodies for the army. but in terms of the community and stuff itself, the ultra orthodox community,
12:16 pm
what is the likelihood of them wanting to actually fight up to a thing off? so it's, it's, it's quite interesting because the, the politically just the have the, and so we say that the loudest and the most violent problem statements. they gave all these like big, big statements, the, the, the fight to destroy how much do it separate, cetera. but then they want, they don't want to pay for it. so they want to keep the constituencies the away from that. ready so that the constituency keep them in the, in the connected. so basically they, the too also lots of parties whose voice has been longer than that for. and they've been escalated inconsistent. they don't want to pay for the costs of the war and want to avoid sending the ones who voted for them into the fight at so that that will these type of lice, these for this, these do for, for that, for these 2 parties. but also these 2 part,
12:17 pm
these whole nothing else condition and then out the input this on the cutting edge additional bird, if they, if they get out of that government, the government because you collapse. so it's a very interesting dynamic between the political side, on one end, which also souls a bit of the bulk with either because they've, it, if you'd escalate thing then have to dig, then you, but to be ready to pay the, the price for, for, for that escalation, i'm such as not, not the case. and this can be in this case, but also with a minute video was saying, okay, great. we one point of view, then if you want to do it to p, just a doesn't open a couple of other fronts. then we'll move on to a minute. yeah, it's gonna be very interesting to see how this situation develops. a good to get those comments from you. i'm are sure a secure see ministry studies professor with the doha institute for graduate studies. a while at least as the people have been killed in is really strong since the hours of tuesday morning and is rarely as strike on l. mcgraw's. a refuge

a surprise to some people here. australia. julia sanchez, low deal is almost up to being released from the u. k. prison. he's due to arrive harm he in australia that will be off the he plates guilty to one charge of breaching espionage in the united states. first he does have to arrive in it. so i've had for the hearing and then he's due to be reunited here in australia, which his brother has recently said that julie decides is really looking forward to . he's looking forward to being back with his family. he also mentioned though that he's feeling overwhelmed and assigned as pot. not stella has said that while she's grateful 40 and then support that they have received. she wouldn't believe that assigned is truly free until she can hold him in her arms. now sanchez mother has also spoken, she says that she's grateful for that this cost of the audio is now or the, but she also said it's taking a toll on her over the last 14 years and poignantly. she also said that the result
12:24 pm
of today was really due to the power of quiet diplomacy and not something that assigned his father also echoed as he thinks the australian prime minister. now, quite diplomacy has really been the approach from consecutive governments in australia. today we sold with bipartisanship support for assigned cross to potty lawn. the starting point me to start today saying that this case is going on for far too long and that we need to bring a san ton over the youth ministers in australia has worked with the counter tops in the u. k. and in the united states to come up with a solution, the hot commission that has met with assigned on multiple occasions and the prime minister recently met with the us president joe barton and asked him directly about sanchez case. during tools at the white house in october, now coming to today, he's due to be sentenced in the sy pon he's due to get 62 months, which he will not have to serve due to the fact he is already being in
12:25 pm
a prison in the united kingdom for a longer period than that, but once again, mentioning his partner, still cautious as that process still has to take place. but our parole, this whole ordeal has really gone beyond legal teams. it has been the set of 3 governments constant controller assistance from australia on constant pressure from his supporters who have really been fighting for the some moments. and this day that they have labeled as extraordinary. as he said, we've been hearing from stella sellers this morning. do we know much more about what will happen next? once he gets to australia, what happens? yes, we did hear from ms. sanchez partner who has flags that the return fly. he's going to cost around half a $1000000.00, and then they all going to put a fundraiser in a place. that is one hurdle they also now have to face. and once he does arrive here, they're all concerns or they, he's healthy, will have to focus on his health,
12:26 pm
his physical and mental well being. that will be a priority poolside. and he's spend a lot of time away from his family, from his partner and from it. he's children. now it's been a long road to freedom for the week. he likes founder and he has always said that he's been doing the job of a journalist and that device has now being raised. not that he in australia. i don't know if today again, questioning how in australian citizen can be held by a foreign power in a foreign country on the charges that reflects the actions of a journalist and not to buy it is now going on. and now initially sondra is lawyers didn't want to enter a plea of guilty because they said that that would have implications for journalism . and so sondra is a part that has said that they will. ringback a requesting a pod and because a guilty plea with an espionage act is very serious for journalism. so that's another step that they going to have to focus on. first the flight and now looking into this part and as well. but of course,
12:27 pm
as long as children have only ever known him behind boss, so this now as his brother has said today is a time for him to start a new chapter of his life. okay, thank you for that. daniel robinson now for us in sydney of the protesters in new caledonia se moving pro independence leaders to mainland france has boosted the results and increased attention. 7, independence, active as were arrested and sent to the main line to face free trial detentions of a large role in the unrest triggered by french invasion reforms. forced on the territory beyond russ boot the pacific state to a standstill in may. when he reports, after weeks yvonne raced a few days ago, frank joe thirty's declared they had regained complete control of the new caledonian capital. but so fond of this week, the situation a new man has looked anything but under control. protest is have returned to
