i think i will live long enough to witness the factory farming the great debate this week on d. w or ah, ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, the u. s. releases video of the black sea drawn incident. pentagon says this, put, it shows a rush and fight it come very close to an unmanned american. drawn that light, a crashed kremlin denies involvement or hear from a military analyst in just a month or so on. the program, french president, and my mama con,

says he'll use special constitutional powers to push through controversial pension reform. the unpopular changes of spock. widespread protests in recently plus is why the prime minister benjamin netanyahu defends proposed judicial reforms in his country. netanyahu is in berlin for talks with german chancellor. hold up, schultz is ready, laid apprised. israel, strong partnership with jim. ah, i'm anthony. how'd welcome to the program. the u. s. defense department has released the footage that it says shows a russian, a craft intercepting a u. s. by drug of the black sea on tuesday. according to us or authorities. this video shows the russian su 275 digit approaching the drone. and then dumping fuel of it as the air craft passes by,

in close proximity without appearing to cause any, any damage to the us drunk. but washington says the jet did collide with the drones propeller on a 2nd pass. that pass, which is also shown here. but the actual collision collision rather isn't visible in the edited video released. although damage to the propeller can be seen later, after the picture is re established. now that the actual footage has been released asked military analyst, frankly, which what stood out to him. this was a deliberate action by the russian fighters. it seems that they were in the vicinity for more than half an hour. and that would indicate as well that there was some element of commission on the command to this. second thing is by dumping fuel as you see there on the screen. now that 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 dumped on it. we're talking here a ton of fuel, more being released from flying into and the damage the engine, and the turbulence that drove the joint into the water. i think it was a deliberate decision nationally 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? well, it's not a known for one department or even part of one department to be at variance with another. because i have general austin, a retired general austin, who's defense actually was pretty clear that it wasn't inadvertent. and anyone who said that they've got to

a video will be able to no doubt that this was deliberate. but the answer question is with, since, since we 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 saying this 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 it wants to try to salvage the wreckage. washington says it wiped all data from the drone. so what use is that drawing to moscow now? not at all, and it's highly unlikely the able to recover it. it's in about 1700 meters of water as i understand, which is well below the capabilities of most recovery most not all of russia, 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 all be wiped the re,

per m q 9 is relatively old. anyway, it's been in service for about 15 years and has now been 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 help. 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 russian and the knots that it does accidentally, it's a, it's not, it's not a landmark, but it's a, it's an event. it's an incident, it's an incident, of course that could have escalated, happy, us painted on taking a different view. it's us 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 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's something he kind of been asking for for months. but it's nato allies have been reluctant to provide because they fear it would lead to an escalation with russia. what's your reaction about time? i remember talking about this with many other unlisted 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 these are mix are entirely suitable to the credit they know how to use, and they've got them already on 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 and it's a good reinforcement for the planning air force that they will use extremely effectively. ok, no doubt, military 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 $62.00 to $64.00. just a few minutes before the vote was due to take place. president amendment because government invoked a special constitutional power to force the reforms through reforms have been met with widespread opposition, triggering massive protests across france. the movies expected to trigger a quick no competence motion as well. from the gun short time ago, i talked to d. w correspondent lisa lewis, who was in paris, asked her about the french government's plans to trigger the special procedure. and how often these powers get used. while 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 reforms 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 this. 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 of the 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 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 if no confidence. but for this to go through what, what they need to do the opposition parties. it's a really joint forces and that means the fall left the far right. and some parties in the middle will have to evade together against the government. now that people here are saying, you know, it could actually go down to the bar while there could be, it could be about a few votes in the past or the conservative party. the republicans have been reluctant to vote such a vote of confidence. they have got about 60 seats in parliament and say they could be a decisive factor, but am on my 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 it comes at a, at a moment and a time his credibility hinged on the passage of this pension reform that he's had to resort to these missions. 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 you know, for forcing the reform through. 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 them. and so as a strong states mind, it's very important for him, this question of image. he wants to leave a trace, he can't stand 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 or would be that pension reform. and also it was, it 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 will, is now likely to be, you know,

considerably weakened lisa lewis and parents. thank you so much. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. iranian activists separate, a korea has been detained again, just hours after she walked free from prison without wearing a headscarf and chatting slogans against the slamming republic. william has spent years in prison after reporting on union protests and has become a strong voice against the abuses. she says female prisoners are subjected to iran, tens of thousands of they both taken to the streets in greece to express their anger of last month's trained disaster that the 57 did. unions of also called for a 24 hour general strike, leaving ferries in port fight grounded, and trains. kent 2 and a half tons of uranium have gone missing from an end undisclosed location in libya . that's according to the un sneakily, a watchdog. the international atomic energy agency says it's looking for the
