parliament. and raged. protesters also took to the streets and several other cities . opinion poll show about 2 thirds of people in prince opposed the legislature earlier, there was anger inside parliament as well as the government made its last minute move to dodge a final boat o. b, as debate turned to a raucous rendition of france's national anthem as opposition impede, made a last ditch attempt to stop the plan pension reforms survey demanded 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 mccullin's government says the reforms are vital to keep pension sustainable for the future. that is the deadline to pass the legislation approached ministers feared they wouldn't have enough

support to push through the changes and stage just minutes ahead of the should you'd vote the government in vote special powers to skip the process altogether. do bottom 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 bet on the future of our pensions. this reform is necessary, is the move to force, the reforms prompted immediate outrage from the opposition just you'll soon, of course, this is inadmissible. obviously i say because once again, it's my own question, i'm forcing the majority, as is normally the nature of article 49.3. it's a question of preventing the expression of the will of the french vocal through

their elected representatives. a physician, lawmakers have see thou request and no competence vote in the government that that's unlikely to pass with conservatives, vowing to go against it. the development sparks fury on the streets of france with protests erupting once again. demonstrate as clashed with police as they've been to their anger at the changes and the government that's pushing them through or correspond at lisa lewis is in per, she's been following a story all along lisa, 1st of all, is this the final word on pension reform or can the government's decision still be overturned? while you know, with this special constitutional power, the rule is that the reform will go through through unless there is a vote of no confidence. we understand that 4 different parties are a going to launch such a vote of no confidence today to have to bring it in today and at these rates will

be held on monday. now as we just heard, it is rather unlikely that the government will for because the conservative party, the republicans have said that they would not would not vote in favor of such abate . however, when you look back to yesterday's extraordinary day here in paris in france, what happened was actually that the government, the republican party had also pledged the heads of the republican party had said we're going to, we are going to vote in favor of the reform. but it turned out that many of its members then said, no, i'm not going to go along with what the party had, have decided. so, you know, it remains really to be seen what's going to happen on monday. how unusual is it lisa, for the french government to skirt parliament like this and force through legislation? well, this special power has been used about 90 times since the beginning of the 5th republic,

which was in the 1950s. not really extraordinary. what is extraordinary, though, is the current situation we have never seen, seems like that in parliament, obviously. you know that the french take to the streets quite often. but it really seems that they're really angry this time around. and we have to watch things closely. the unions have already announced that next thursday they will hold another and general in a nationwide day of strikes and demonstrations. but they've also said, you know, people should organize different demonstration blockades out until then really. and many people are not willing anymore to listen to the unions and to, you know, to stay calm. they want to become more violent because they feel that the government is not listening to calm demonstrations anymore. well, those scenes on the streets in france of course, are quite dramatic. at this point. i do those protests, lease of the street protest pose a threat to the government. i think what is really obvious and now

is that many of the french are angry about how the government has gone about that. you know that about 2 thirds of the french are against this reform, and they are really angry that the government wants to push it through, but was really extraordinary. they feel is that the government isn't even listening to the parliamentarians. so the government really is under pressure, you know, it does not have no legal obligation to say we're going to go, we're gonna withdraw the reform, but the pressure is mounting if and my call wants to have any legitimacy. after all, this is a huge challenge between mccullin's government and other people in the parliament. of course, the people in the strait. why is pension reform so important to him and well, michel well, you could argue, and i 62 as the minimum retirement age is not that high really. but when you look at, at what age, the french really effectively retired rather on 63 and,

and also many people with higher, later. and later, at a late age, the francis kind of in the middle feel in europe and the french really feel that my car is attacking the heart of their social security system. as even the experts who are supposed to argue in favor of this form said in their report, you know, you can carry out a reform or not according to your political preferences. so michael has not can convince the french that mr. form is necessary and they don't want the reformatory . lisa, thank you very much, shar correspondent lisa louis. they're in paris. it's catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. the death toll of cyclone. freddy has risen to more than 400 across southern africa with over 300 dead in malawi alone. rescuers are still is discovering more bodies. the tropical storm hit madagascar and mozambique in february,

then moved out to the indian ocean before making landfall a 2nd time. this week, a libyan militia says it's recovered over 2 tons of uranium declared missing by the u. n's nuclear watchdog. inspectors for the international atomic energy agency or trying to confirm the claim to recovery the i. e. a learned the iranian was missing . after a long delayed inspection in the war torn country, poland they set to become the 1st nato member to supply fighter jets to ukraine. president underage duda says his country will deliver at least 4 fully operational soviet era make 20 nines in the coming days. due to a said additional aircraft with follow. ukraine has repeatedly urged western partners to sent war planes to help defend against russia's invasion after the polish announcement, danish prime minister met frederickson,

hinted that other nato allies might soon follow suit as a yeah, if you holing via the jets have long been on the ukrainians wishlist, and it is something we're discussing in the group of allied nations. so yes, it is something we're discussing with our allies. and it is something that the group of allies is considering of is, my gosh, i will not get into any further details, but it is a big wish from ukraine for breast pot here is a security analyst and ceo of rasmussen, global that to political consultancy. i asked him earlier why poland has taken the initiative in sending fighter jets to ukraine. well, i think it's an attempt by war. so to push the other allies, could she pin with a more fighter jets for ukraine, given that this is obviously both a request by the ukrainian or ortiz, but also time sensitive in the sense that it takes a very long time. you need to move airframes to from the later territory to

ukraine, but more importantly, to train ukrainian fighter pio jets to, to not only need 29, but potentially too if 16 on me to build fighter jets will come to that in a moment. but let me ask you, 1st of all, how is ukraine likely to use these jets that poland has promised? well, oversee having more fighter jets allow will allow the creating forces to contest more the domains from the russian air force. and both for also to target ground targets, but also in the pull to lead to target and targets, especially cruise me size, which the russians keep on using against critical infrastructure and civilian population centers. so, so the fighters are not just to do dog fights against

a russian fighter jets, but more importantly to protect foresees and civilians. again, some of the russian positions both on the ground, but also some of the russian size in the air. so you mentioned that this move by polen could up pressure on other countries to send other fighter. just do you think that will happen? do you think the u. s. i don't know the u. k. french germany will now start sending fighter jets as well. more sophisticated ones to poet only to ukraine? well, i think a year ago they should be point. we'd have it on a ukraine being provided to kind of weapon system that they're being provided over the last 6 months. so, so i will not bet against that possibility of then receiving a substantial number of 5 projects. however,

which is obviously key is to kind of fight to just take and receive me 2090 something the ukranian forces have and obviously not as high performance as the need to be 160. so this is always going to be a very important question to watch and whether these, you know, political will in those countries who have the 16 to 2 g p. and we've seen the how may 442 i sample relatively, i think a critical mass of with 2 tanks to be lead or delivered to ukraine. so it will be also sticky and politically. very hard to get off of those airframes to kind of make a difference, but i would think this is all positioning the green i was trying to do to get that by the end of this year for bridge. thank you very much. that was security analyst for a brief part here. thank you very much. well,

russia has been widely accused of indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas in ukraine. the attacks have left many ukrainians, not least children with life changing injuries. but doctors are finding ways to help tackle the trauma t w's. i. abraham visited a hospital in kia, where a medical team has helped one young girl get back on her feet with they say it takes a village to raise a child for 6 year old marina. it's taken want to put her back on her feet on, on that up a little slow. they just, oh, she has grown so much during this time since the war and everything that has happened to us. some that she has become very mature. she sees everything differently, miles of such a clean shawn. that shift started over 6 months ago when marina lost her leg and started treatment at this key up hospital. our russian shell hit her home in the southern ukrainian city of her son. natalia,

backing down continues probably struggle in 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 that 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 shots on thursday. some 500 people gathered at the cities, brandon by gate in solidarity with the protest is in israel. during the leaders meeting, schultz expressed his concern for the ongoing dispute in his rail. simile cottage of yep, 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 to his critics. i'm supposed to be
