6:07 pm
to expanding that law to also cover fighters for the mercenary wagner group. anyone who criticizes russian soldiers in ukraine, whether they are fighting for the russian army or so called volunteer unit, could soon face a long prison sentence. a law punishing public defaming of the military has been in place for a year now. but that's likely to be expanded to include so called volunteers or mercenaries which let it go to the bar, which is susan. who are these volunteers that are mentioned in the same breath as russian soldiers? super? no, let me some good. it's not clear, but who's i mean little and that will worries me a lot lately about yourself. so if the new amendments would cover private armies. if jenny precaution, the founder of the wagner, a mercenary group,

6:09 pm
15 years in a penal colony. vinyati from a legal point of view, this is simply absurd over statements. even if it's just one sentence or a single piece of information that is judged to be false. even though it's very likely to be curricula on such statements. a given huge prison sentences. we haven't seen anything like this since the 1950, for sure, but it's over. ah, the new amendments have already been fast tracked through parliament. lay to this month. there is set to be approved by the upper house and signed into law by president putin. let's take a look now at other world news headlines. people across france have been experiencing widespread disruption today as 1000000 stripe against president microns pension reforms. almost altering and metro services are suspended and
6:10 pm
schools across the country are closed. it's the 6th day of strikes over the proposed reforms. since mid january, israel has killed a palestinian man who it's as a shot dead to israeli settler brothers here, the palestinian village of who wore a last week palestinian authorities. they 6 palestinians were killed in the rate by israeli forces in the occupied westbank city of jenny. at least 14 people have been killed in an explosion at a 7 story commercial building in bangladesh as capital darker. dozens more have been injured. rescue efforts are ongoing movie cause of the blast is not yet clear . rescuers also searching for survivors after land slides killed at least 15 people on a remote, indonesian island. dozens of people are thought to have been buried in their homes following heavy rains. but rescue efforts are being hindered by poor weather and
6:11 pm
down communication lines. teachers in iran are expected to lead demonstrations to day following a series of alleged poisonings in schools targeting young girls. there been several 100 suspected cases involving more than a 100 schools since november. some of those affected have even needed hospital care . now this video posted online in the last few days of here's to show parents voicing their anger outside an education ministry building and to run errands. government has said the girls are being deliberately targeted, possibly by hard line clues, opposed to girls education. and how these teresa trop are joins me here in the studio for more. because of the said terrible story. do we know more about what authorities have said about these poisonings? well, so far they haven't said that much supreme nita ali hyman a's said that these were big and unforgivable crimes, and that whoever's responsible needs to be severely punished. but this level of
6:12 pm
public security for those haven't come up with any more evidence or any more details. instead, members of the government were quick to point the finger towards the country, so called enemies. so that's usually the united states and israel. and some even suggested that that might be the girls themselves that are causing these symptoms by being hysteric. so, does that reflect reality though? i mean, you've reported extensively in iran to have a sense of what iranians think is behind these poisons or who is behind them. now iranians certainly have a total different feeling. they, i totally believe it's the government that's behind all of that, or at least the government being complicit in that because they say, i mean it's very unlikely that in a country where a security forces i able to track down and arrest people for taking part in the protest just hours later or for not wearing a headscarf or even for buying spray paint. it's really impossible that alleged crimes like these are taking place all over the country again and again without the government knowing of it being able to prevent that. so that's very unlike some
6:13 pm
even say that it might be a way to scale. punish these girls. because if you remember, it was young school girls who were the driving force behind the anti government protest. we've been seeing since last autumn. yeah. and against that backdrop, do you think that these cases could re energize those protests? absolutely, i mean, if you remember why these protests started in the 1st place, that was the death of a young woman who was previously detained by the so called morality police. and then then died there, and now is even younger girls being targeted in that inside school. so place where they should be safe, where the government should be taking care of them. so that's definitely making people angry. so we've seen protests over the weekend and we seen protests today in cities like adobe, for example. and at this protest, people are once again and saying women life freedom. so that's the rallying cry for these protests and against the backdrop of these alleged poisonings. of these young
6:14 pm
school girls, this seems more urgent than ever. yeah. can you tell us a little bit more about these protests what they look like? who's taking part and does it seem like they want to keep going on in the future? and the weekend was mostly parents, as we saw before, like demanding answers and demanding access to their children. because apparently the schools were even locked after these attacks. today it's teachers that have called for protest in front of education and industries, for example, and for tomorrow we're just international women's day. and that number of groups have called for huge protests all over the country. thank you so much for that update. that's tracy copper. we will be keeping an eye on these developments. you're watching t w news from berlin before we go, let's get a reminder of our top story at this hour. president volume, your zalinski has ordered military commanders to send reinforcements to help you. craney and troops defending the besieged city of buck, doubts are emerging over the strength of russian forces,
