9:03 am
to pass the legislation approached ministers fear they wouldn't have enough support to push through the changes and stage just minutes ahead of the should your 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 enforcing the majority as is normally the nature of article 49.3. it's a question of preventing the exp,
9:04 am
sion of the will of the french michael through their elected representatives. opposition lawmakers have said they'll request a no competence vote in the government that that's unlikely to pass with conservatives vowing to go against it. the development spots fury on the streets of france with protests erupting once again. demonstrated clashed with police as they've been to their anger at the changes and the government that's pushing them through or paris correspondent lisa lewis has been covering the story i asked, or if the government's decision to force through pension reform can 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 they have to bring it in today and these votes will
9:05 am
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 a boat. 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? poor 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,
9:06 am
though, is the current situation. we have never seen scenes 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 con demonstrations anymore. well, those scenes on the streets in france of course, are quite dramatic at this point. do those protests lease of the street protest pose a threat to the government?
9:07 am
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 going to 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 manuel michel? well, you could argue in i 62 as the minimum retirement age is not that high really. but when you look at, at what age,
9:08 am
the french really effectively retired rather on 63 and, and also many people retire later at and later at a later age, the francis kind of in the middle field 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 martin has not can convince the french that this reform is necessary and they don't want the reformatory. lisa, thank you very much, shar correspondent lisa louis. they're in paris. take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world. today. the death toll of sir of cyclone fretting has risen to more than 400 across southern africa with over 300 dead in malawi alone. rescuers are still 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 group of big u. s. banks have handed a lifeline to struggling 1st republic bank. after investors lost confidence in the regional lender. the group provided a $30000000000.00 cash injection to assure up its balance sheet emit fears of a bank run. markets have been spooked by the sudden collapse of 2 u. s. banks last week. libyan militia says it's recovered over 2 tons of uranium or declared missing by the u. n's nuclear watchdog. inspectors for the international atomic energy agency are trying to confirm the claim to recovery . the i 8 a learned the uranium was missing. after a long delayed inspection in the war torn country, poland is set to become the 1st nato member to supply fighter jets to ukraine.
9:10 am
president on j. duda says his country will deliver at least 4 fully operational soviet era, mig 20 nines in the coming days. due to said additional aircraft with follow. crane has repeatedly urged western partners to send for plains to help defend against russia's invasion. following the polish announcement, danish prime minister met frederickson, hinted that other nato allies might soon follow suit. it's a yeah, if you holing fighter 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 it. my gosh, i will not get into any further details, but it is a big push from ukraine. for brief porch here is a security analyst turn c e o of rasmussen, global a political consultancy. i asked him why poland has taken the initiative in sending fighter jets to ukraine. well, i think it's, it's not. and by war,
9:11 am
so to push the other allies to cheap in with a more fighter jets for ukraine. given that this is obviously a both a request by the ukrainian or a bank or so time sensitive in the sense that it takes a very long time. he needs to move airframes to from the ne, to territory, to ukraine, but more importantly, to train ukrainian fighter pio jets to, to not only meet 29, but potentially too if 16. 0 me too old. i projects 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, obviously having more allow, will allow the ukrainian forces to contest more the domains from the russian air
9:12 am
force in 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 fight, they're just not just to do dog fights against a russian fighter just but more importantly, just to protect foresees and civilians. again, some of the russian positions are both on the ground, but also some of the russian, the size in the air. so you mentioned that this move by poland could up pressure on other countries to send other fodder. 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 pull it to ukraine. well, i think
9:13 am
a year ago should be bought. we'd have it on ukraine being provided to kind of weapon system being provided over the last 6 months. so, so i will not against that possibility of them receiving a substantial number of 5 projects. however, which is always the key is to kind of fight to just stick and receive me. 2090 something that ukrainian forces have and oversee 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, you have the 16 to 2 g p and we've seen the house 44 to assemble relatively, i think, with the critical mass of, with 2 tanks to be lead or delivered to ukraine. so it would be all sort of sticky
9:14 am
and politically, very hard to get off of those airframes to kind of make a difference. but i would think this is all position and being great, 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 pause 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. abraham visited a hospital in kia, where a medical team has helped one young girl get back on her feet. as they live 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 the lit up a little slow with her chest. oh, she has grown so much during this time since the war and everything that has
9:15 am
happened to us now that she has become very mature, she sees everything differently. miles of such a clean shawl. that shift started over 6 months ago when marina lost her leg and started treatment at this key of hospital. our russian shell hit her home in the southern ukrainian city of her son. natalia, not wanting to add to her daughter's trauma, refused to flee the country. instead she moved to the capital to find a team that could give her daughter the treatment she needs. for an a czar marinas physiotherapist recovery had to start from the insight. oh, but with i approached her 1st as a child she put then as a friend, then as a patient. so it was, it was, it was very important to set priorities. the muscle defied approach to immediately as a doctor. and she has
9:16 am
a patient and we would not have had this result was been the loosening of them. you need to find an approach. and 1st of all, to become a friend and receive bus and shuttle. and the bones thought through him and send him a defense. then there was the challenge of finding a prosthetic st who could work with someone so young. on was oscar's officer that he had to pay for children. we have to pay special attention to monitoring the height of the prosthetic, so her spine does not get damaged. so liberal, her healthy leg is growing normally. so the length and volume of the prosthetic it has to be adjusted constantly before you love her. or so lot the marina also regularly meets with the psychologist who's helped her make sense of her new reality and applicable. and when marina 1st entered our hospital, she asked questions to why me, why did this happen to me? why my house, my family, why my leg b and she did not want to communicate with anyone. ha,
9:17 am
she would cover herself with a blanket and just wanted to be in her mother's arms. she did not let a psychologist to me her now will i will be monitored because mama and i have been in is august. it was called the said looks hala alive, but, but then slowly with the help of various methods, family therapy, art therapy, a rehabilitative you can see that marrying and now communicates perfectly with everyone and has fun. well, it's absolutely. as a sima, alyssa laid st less than a year after starting her treatment. marina can now kick a ball, walk with confidence, and jump on a trampoline. her remarkable progress has become a point of pride and the learning experience for the all ukrainian team. so they say that prior to the more they didn't have many cases where they could work together in an interdisciplinary set up arc taco bell. yes, we are like one big family. marina is energetic, some days she wants to be
