a special constitutional palace to push through a controversial pension before the unpopular mood has sparked widespread protest and recently plus is why the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, the fence proposed judicial reforms in his country at yahoo is in berlin for talks with german chancellor hold off. shop is where the lead appraised israel, strong partnership with germany. also on the show. global markets are jumpy. as banking turmoil spreads asian stock slide while here react positively. the swiss regulate his hand with the lifeline to linda, pretty swiss. but investors are still spooked after the collect to thank you. ah, i'm anthony howard walk in the program. the u. s. defense department has just released footage that it says shows a russian aircraft intercepting
4:02 pm
a us spy drawn over the black sea on tuesday. according to us authorities, this video shows a, as an su, 27 fighter jet, approaching the drone and dumping fuel over it as the air craft passes by closely without appearing to cause any damage to the u. s. drive. but washington says the jet collided with the john, the drones propeller on a 2nd pass, which is also shown that the actual collision isn't visible in the edit. the video that's been released, although damaged to the propeller can later be seen after the screen goes blank. now that the actual footage has been released, asked military analyst, frank led, which what stood out to him. the 1st thing that's flagrantly obvious is that this was a deliberate action by the russian fighters. it seems that they were in the vicinity
4:03 pm
for more than half an hour, and that would indicate as well that there was some element commissioner and did command to this. second thing is by dumping fuel as you see there on the screen. now that so the intention there is to blind blind to the instruments on the, on the drug on the re patrol as it, as it does, and also clearly to disable it. and the pass was so close as you've already pointed out, that it did disable the drone. and i suspect is a combination of those 2 things, the fuel being done on it, we're talking here a ton of fuel or more being released and flying into it. and the damage the engine on the turbulence that drove the drone into the water. i think it was a deliberate decision actually to crush it. it's intriguing frank, on wednesday, the pentagon spokes person ned price, who's seen the footage, obviously called the incident, probably unintentional. based on what we've seen, that doesn't appear to be the case. so why would the pentagon say that?
4:04 pm
well, it's not a known for one department or even part of one department to be at variance with another. because so general austin retired, general austin, who's defense actually was pretty clear that it wasn't inadvertent. and anyone who said not they've got to have video will be under no doubt that this was deliberate . but the answer question is, with st. seems the only possible answer? i think i said, what mr. price wanted to do was tone down the rhetoric and ensure that there was no misunderstanding, said that the pentagon, sameness, as her as a warlike or hostile act as opposed to a reckless and silly one. so now to technology in it and intelligence, russia says that wants to try to salvage the wreckage, washington face that wiped all data from the drone. so what use is that drawing to moscow now? not at all, and it's highly unlikely they'll be able to recover it. it's in about 1700 meters of water as i understand, which is well below the capabilities of most recast most not all of russia,
4:05 pm
submarine recovery technology technology. by the way that they've not shown to be particularly like which they're not shown to, particularly capable in the past. the data will all be, will be wiped the re, per m q 9 is relatively old. anyway, it's been in service for about 15 years and is now being replaced more widely around the air force or so on. all france rarely, it's not much of an intelligent scale for the russians, even if they do get hold of it. we're sorry. what given frank, what we now know, and if a had this, if evidence doesn't change anything about the war and about the dealings between russia and the united states, it does accidentally exit. it's not, it's not a landmark, but it's a, it's an event. it's an incidence, it's an incident, of course that could have escalated, happy us padded on taking a different view. it's a u. s. air force aircraft that was deliberately brought down, clearly deliberately brought down, or at least clearly to deliberately damaged recklessly with the result. and was
4:06 pm
brought down and americans could have taken a different view and they could have taken the approach that look the next time we put up a reconnaissance aircraft, which this is we're going to ask or to be fighters. and you can imagine the kind of escalation that go good, we could go to from that. so yes, to that extent, it is significant, significant moment in the, in the are russia, u. s. military encounter if you like a frank way, just getting reports that poland has decided to send. mig 29 fighter jets to ukraine. possibly even this week that something ukraine has been asking for for months. but its nato allies have been reluctant to provide because i fear it would lead to an escalation with russia. what's your reaction about time? i remember talking about this with many other analysts said yourselves about a year ago and this transfer should have taken place. then as many of us thought it would, the americans put a stop to it then the saw makes or italy suitable for the credit. they know how to use that. got them already on
4:07 pm
a far more appropriate ukrainian air force at this moment at this moment that is on the 16th. so it's good news all around. it's a good reinforcement for the planning air force that they will use extremely effectively. i've no doubt illustrate analyst franklin, which as always, thank you so much. thank you said the french government plans to bypass a parliamentary vote of it's unpopular pension reforms which raised the retirement age from 62 to 64. just a few minutes before the vote was due to take place president amendment because government invoked a special constitutional power to force through the reform reforms have been met with widespread opposition, triggering massive protests and strikes across france. the movie is expected to trigger a quick no competence motion in june. now by a correspondent lisa lewis in paris, lisa microns announced that he will resort to article 49.3 to push through this
4:08 pm
reform. despite the massive resistance. what is article 49.3, and how often the french politicians resort to it? well, it's not that extraordinary actually that it is used now. it's been used about 90 times since the beginning of the 5th republic and the 1950s. however, it is a very controversial measure to actually, for my call to you with this reform, because this was the mother of old reform for him. he wanted to show that he's capable of performing this country to push through this reform to convince parliamentarians to go along with face and the fact that he is now using that specially close shows that he has failed to do so. now what's gonna happen next? as you just said, the opposition has already actually announced that different parts will be position parties have actually announced that they will put in a vote of no confidence. and everybody will be watching that if there will be
4:09 pm
a majority for such a vote of confidence. monday that has never happened since the beginning of the 5th republic in the $950.00 start. a government was actually voted out of office by such a vote of confidence. but it might happen this time around. it's a massive step and it hasn't been seen before. but how likely are we to see well, a, you know, it's, it's very likely, i mean, it will happen that there will be this beta, no confidence. but for this to go through what they need to do, the opposition parties. it's a really joint forces and that means the far left the far right and some parties in the middle will have to vote together against the government. now, as people here are saying, you know, it could actually go down to the bar wire. there could be, it could be about a few votes in the past or the conservative party. the republicans have been
4:10 pm
reluctant to vote such a vote of confidence. they have got about 60 seats and parliament and say they could be a decisive factor. but am i call has really angered a lot of politicians, a lot of people in the country and a lot of parliamentarians with his reform. he's a good many people and that comes at a, at a moment and the time his credibility hinged on the passage of this pension reform that he's had to resort to these measures. is that any sort of victory for him? well, not really. i think for him it was really the last resort to say we're going to use this special. how are you wanted to convince parliament to show that he is able of pushing through this reform without actually forcing people to enforce it, forcing the form 3. now, as it said, he wanted to show that he's in a capable of reform. the country also on international level is to pick themselves as a strong states. mine is very important for him. this question of image. he wants to
4:11 pm
leave a trace, he can't then again, for president in 4 years time, but he wants to be remembered for what he did in office. and part of that would have been a, would be that pension reform. and also it was, he also wants to continue to play an important role on the level of the european union and on and on an international level when it comes to the russian invasion in ukraine. and his, his image the will is now likely to be, you know, considerably weakened. lisa lewis and parents, thank you so much. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has met the german chancellor in burden. and amid rising tensions at home of his government's plans to reform the judiciary critics, the plans would allow the israeli parliament to overturn supreme court decisions on his visit to berlin. netanyahu defended his plan. the image that is force said as though we're trying to bring a judicial reform to curtail the independence of the juicer is not true. israel has
4:12 pm
an independent judiciary, but many feel i'm not able to talk about specific. i do as many feel that it is an all powerful judiciary. an independent judiciary is not at all powerful judiciary. the judicial reform is meant to bring into balance the 3 branches of government. and when that is accomplished, we will have the same balance that exists in any other democracy. for his part, german chancellor all have shalt voiced his concern about the judicial process in israel. and as a close partner of israel mark from sharing democratic values, we are watching this debate very closely and i can't hide the fact that we're very concerned about it. it will be independence of the judiciary is incredibly valuable . commodity we agree on that is good and it is valuable and that is really present . i had talked, spoke with many different members of society to try to counter
4:13 pm
a further polarization of israel and to ensure your store and preserve social peace in your country. joining me now is they doubly chief political correspondent, nina has her. nina shalt said he is watching israel's legal reforms with concerns. what does he mean by that? well, that was of course, one of those moments in that press conference. i attended that as well. many observers have been waiting for will have choices exact words eagerly as they were questing, which was what he used to express concern and criticism of israel's judicial reform because that has, of course, also sparked a debate here in germany. so we have shots made a reference, israel's president isaac hanson, who has put forward a compromise proposal, which that on the i was government has rejected. and so it was careful not to come across the school to reprimanding. but he did say that he still hoped that the last word has not been spoken on the issue. and that's as far as he was prepared to go,
4:14 pm
essentially edging it on out to approach the critics of his reform. again, defender is what does this visit or what could this visit mean for german israeli relations at this moment in time? would a judicial reform in israel change this relationship? we do have to take a brief look at the history here because of course the current german state has a special responsibility for the security of the state of israel. they consider each other very close partners. and that special relationship is, of course, founded in the terrible sad history because of the atrocities committed by the nazis during the 2nd world war, where nazis kill some 6000000 jews. so shots today was asked whether that of self understanding that reason of state for germany is unconditional. by a colleague from reuters, essentially just how far canon israeli government go and does the current demons state maintain that that reason of state is still valid,
4:15 pm
even if israel did turn into a dictatorship. and some critics are suggesting shots was very tight lipped on that and said that nothing had changed in that regard. but of course, this is an extremely touchy issue. and of course, we don't know just how frank the discussion was behind closed doors and several javin high ranking representatives, the jam president, justice minister, the foreign minister, they've all voice that concern about what's going on in recent weeks. so it'll be true that they are watching developments that extremely closely the touch on that netanyahu was under real pressure at home because of the protest against the judicial reforms planned by his right. when government could this visit, do you think or anything said to him on this visit, influence his plans at well, we here a d, w have been covering those protests for weeks. they have been going on in israel for a few weeks now. and demonstrators are also taking to the streets here in berlin today in protest of those reforms in solidarity with the demonstrates as in israel. and
4:16 pm
so it's did voice is concerned. so that is something that the opposition will use in israel. having said that, i do think also that netanyahu scored a couple of important points for him here in berlin. one of the main foreign policy issues for him currently is iran, and the risk of iran acquiring nuclear weapons. and he had the german chancellor will have showed standing next to him on stage warning that iran must not become a nuclear power. so he's also taking that back with him to israel. it's already been a big day, but what is expected of the rest of netanyahu's visit to berlin in well, after the press conference and benjamin netanyahu went to a bellevue palace, which is of course, the german president's red residency to have a brief chat with frank felt a stein maya, and then he's heading back home because of the, essentially, all the protests that happening. but also because there is a very insecure situation,
4:17 pm
a very unstable situation in the country. and people are looking at what's happening in the north of israel very closely. the w chief political correspondent nina has a thanks a lot that while prime minister benjamin netanyahu was in berlin, protests have resumed in israel against his government, controversial judicial reforms. hundreds of people demonstrated in several areas in the coastal city of taylor, vive, elsewhere in israel demonstrate as block the central road leading to jerusalem. netanyahu's right? when government wants to fast track the controversial reform or the end of the month to move critic, seeing as a threat to the separation of powers, any more protests are expected later today. okay, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the woke. fi has broken out at a building belonging to brushes. border patrol in the southern city of roast of on don't close to the ukrainian border authority. so at least one person has died.
