a documentary series about the future of food. with the great debate this week on t w ah ah, this is d w. news lab from berlin, the u. s. releases video of the black sea drone incident. the video shows a russian fighter jet flying very close to an unmanned american drone and dumping jet fuel on it. the drone later crashed also on the show. poland pledges to deliver 4 of its fighter jets to ukraine in the coming days. it will be the 1st of cubes

allies to do so. also, protest does in france express the outrage of president emanuel macross decision to force through pension reform lads grown used a special procedure to push through on popular check changes without a vote involvement. ah, i've told you medical, welcome to the program. the u. s. defense department has released footage to back up its complaint that a russian aircraft intercepted a u. s. drone over the black sea. according to us authorities. this video shows a russian su 27 fighter jet, approaching the drone and dumping fuel over it as the aircraft passes by in close proximity without appearing to cause any damage to the dr. but washington says the
4:02 am
jet did collide with the drones propeller. on a 2nd pass, that pass is also shown here, but the actual collision isn't visible in the editor at video release by the pentagon, although damage to the propeller and be seen later after the picture is re established . we spoke earlier with military analyst frank leverage and asked him what stood out from the video. 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 for more than half an hour. and that would indicate as well that there was some element of commission or did command to this 2nd thing is by dumping fuel as you see there on the screen now. but sir, the intention there is to blind blind to the instruments on the, on the drone on the re patrol as it, as it does,
4:03 am
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 the combination of those 2 things, the fuel being dumped on it. we're talking here a ton of fuel, more being released, there are other drone flying into it. and the damage the engine and the turbulence that drove the drone into the water. i think it was a deliberate decision actually took to crush 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, 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 gray 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 to it. so it's not a landmark, but it's a,
4:04 am
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 l. u. s. air force aircraft that was deliberately broke down, clearly deliberately brought down or less clearly to deliberately damage recklessly with the result was brought down. and the 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 put fighters. and you can imagine the kind of escalation to go go, 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. poland is set to become the 1st natal member to supply fighter jets to ukraine. it will deliver at least 4 fully operational soviet era make 20 nines in the coming days. polish president andre duda said additional aircraft would be supplied later after

a maintenance check. ukraine has repeatedly urge west and partners to send warplanes for its fight against russia's invasion. after palance announcement, danish prime minister admitted frederickson, hinted that other nato allies might indeed soon follow suit. sierra through helene via jets have long been on the ukrainians. wishlist. and it is something we're discussing in the group of allied nations. yes, it is something we're discussing with our allies also. and it is something that the group of allies is considering of it. my gosh, i will not get into any further details, but it is a big wish from ukraine claims. so with poland, charging ahead might other nasal members like the u. s. ribbon germany follow suit? my colleague, brent goes put that question to dw nato reporter terry schultz. were washington, along with germany, maintains the line that absolutely not. and you, you heard denmark there say it's being discussed,
4:06 am
but we haven't heard any other countries really charged to the front like poland has. slovakia may be the closest to agreeing to send some of its megs. now you remember brent that we were sort of at this stage before months ago with poland being very willing to send its fleet of megs. in fact, the whole fleet at that time to ukraine, but it wanted to send them through ramstein air base and thereby make it sort of a u. s. transfer. and then it fell apart. so this isn't entirely unexpected that it comes back to poland sending mig, but we did, we certainly didn't know to expect it this week or today. did of these nasal corresponding to re schultz in brussels. let's take a look at some of the other new stories making headlines around the world. libyan military forces, se 10 drums of uranium declared missing by the un nuclear watchdog have been found not far from where they were taken. inspectors for the international atomic energy agency land, the uranium was missing, after an inspection that was delayed for

which the government says is essential to keep the pension system intact, but has been widespread opposition to the changes with months of protest and strikes across france. oh, fierce debate turned to a raucous rendition of france's national anthem as opposition impedes, made a last ditch attempt to stop the planned pension reforms survey. no, my dear colleagues. thank you. i will ask each of the parliamentarians who are holding up a sign to please stop immediately. this is against our rules, and the for is for the prime minister. emanuel mccombs government says the reforms are vital to keep pension sustainable for the future. but as the deadline to pass the legislation approached ministers feared they wouldn't have enough support to push through the changes instead, just minutes ahead of the should your vote,
4:09 am
the government in vote special powers to skip the process altogether. do by room all members of parliament to day on the parliament bill and due to the uncertainty hanging over a few votes, we can't take the risk of seeing 175 hours of parliamentary debate collapse. we can't take the risk of seeing the compromise built by the 2 assemblies dismissed. we cannot but on the future of our pensions, this reform is necessary is as the move to force, the reforms prompted immediate outrage from the opposition. just you're saying of course, this is inadmissible, obviously, right? because once again, it's my own question of forcing the majority, as is normally the nature of article $49.00. it's a question of preventing the expression of the will of the french will go through their elected representatives. opposition. lawmakers have said they'll request a no competence vote in the government,

against plans by prime minister benjamin netanyahu is government to overhaul the countries judicial system. which they think will damage that democratic freedom. similar demonstrations have been taking place with increasing regularity for over a month and a half now, which have dell to blow to the economy. protest to say they are not backing down. continues on while bleak struggle and a big one as we have seen for the past month or so. the only thing that we can achieve is to create enough um, um, civilian popular pressure to make the, the coalition make the government understand that they do not have a wide enough support to make a change like this. the discord even overshadowed netanyahu's visit to berlin to meet with german chancellor, olaf schultz on thursday. some 500 people gathered at the cities brandon by gate in solidarity with the protesters in israel. during the leaders meeting,
4:12 am
schultz expressed his concern for the ongoing dispute in his rail symbol cottage, severe to partner as a partner in democratic values and a close friend of israel. we are following this debate very closely and with great concern log. and netanyahu had strong words for his critics. i'm supposed to be somewhere. oh, you know, potentate who's abolishing democracy and all this nonsense. it will take not a lot of time to realize that this is absurd. it's preposterous. the meeting in berlin was an opportunity for the pair to underline that close to p matic relationship, especially in the area of defense in combined efforts to combat anti semitism. but the ongoing disruption in its realm at that netanyahu had to cut his trip short and fly him early. the 1st president jen infant you know,
