her feet. how a team of medics are helping this ukranian girl walk again after losing her leg in a russian attack. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. protests have erupted across france after president manuel mccullin's government use special powers to ram through his controversial pension reforms without a boat by parliament. opinion polls show about 2 thirds of people in france opposed to legislation. i tear gas and water cannon on the historic plastic concord at the heart of the french capital. the introduction of an unpopular pension spill in the french national assembly has brought fire and fury to the streets of paris and cities across france. protesters through cobblestones

and shot flares of police and there were hundreds of arrests. they're angry at bill pushed through parliament, which raises the retirement age by 2 years to $64.00. 0, if we could agree of among complete government must understand that were not in the streets for fun and that the future of france will be built by us. and the economy is built by us and for it to work when we need good conditions. where we down to work for too long of a year, 60 years is largely sufficient. and where we are paid correctly. women as well as men, if i'm covered, is alone. embattled president emanuel my call will have to do with more protests and accusations of anti democratic behavior. after adopting the contentious legislation without a parliamentary vote, the protest could echo 20 eighteens yellow vest populous movement against rising

prices and all that, all technology on his x. now comes the hard part, much to fraction neglect because demonstrations and strikes are no longer possible . yeah, no. so we're going to do what the yet vested polls showed the 2 thirds of the french population oppose the pension reform. the protests may just be the beginning of a political crisis. oh, our paris correspondent lisa louis has been covering the story. i asked her if the government's decision to force through pension reform can still be overturned. well, 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 votes will be held on monday. now as we just heard,

it is rather unlikely that the government will fall because the conservative party, the republicans have said that they would not would not vote in favor of such a vote. 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 as 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? while 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, there is the current situation. we have never seen scenes like that in parliament.

was he, you know, that the friends 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 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. he's always lucy, lisa lewis. they're talking to me from paris. it's catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. the death toll from cyclone freddy has risen to more than 400 across southern africa with over 300 dead in malawi alone. rescuers are still discovery,

more bodies. the tropical storm hit madagascar and mussa beacon 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 amid fears of a bank run. market sir, been spooked by the sudden collapse of 2 u. s. banks. last week. china's foreign ministry and the kremlin have confirm present. she's in paying, we'll meet with his russian counterpart vladimir putin in moscow next week. it will be, she's 1st visit to russia since 2019 and comes as putin faces isolation on the world stage over his war on ukraine. poland is set to become the pers, nato member to supply fighter jets to ukraine. president on j do does,

says his country will deliver at least 4 fully operational soviet era make 20 nines in the coming days. due to said additional aircraft with follow. ukraine has repeatedly urged western partners to send warplanes to help defend against russia's invasion. fabri, spotty, a is a security analyst, and ceo of russ most in global 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 10 by more, so to push the other allies shipping with more fighter jets for ukraine, given that this is obviously both a request by the ukranian stories, but also time sensitive in the sense that it takes a very long time. you need to move friends to

a territory to ukraine, but more importantly, to train ukrainian fighter pio jets to, to not only meet $29.00, but then city to 16 on need to be a fighter jets 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 fighter jets allow, will allow the ukrainian forces to contest more the domain from the russian air force in both or so to target ground targets. but also importantly to target and targets, especially cruise the 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 fight. and just but more importantly, just 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 out 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, a year ago they should be bought. we'd have it on a ukraine, be provided to kind of weapon system being provided over the last 6 months. so, so i will not bet against that possibility of them receiving a substantial number of 5 projects. however, which is obviously key is to kind of fight to just they can receive me 2090

something the ukrainian 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 there's enough political will in those countries who have the 16 to 2 g p. and we've seen how many 40, forced to assembled relatively, i think a critical mass of limp, 2 tanks to be read or delivered to ukraine. so it would be all sort of sticky 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 the greatest trying to do to get that by the end of this year. for bridge. thank you very much. that was security analyst pub reese part here. thank you very much. well, russia has been widely accused of indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas in

ukraine. the attacks of 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 cuba, where a medical team has helped one young girl get back on her feet. little him what they say it takes a village to raise a child for 6 year old marina. it's taken one to put her back on her feet on the lit up a little slow with the chest. and 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. les miles of such a clean shawn. that shift started over 6 months ago when marina lost her leg and started treatment at the sky of hospital. our brush and shell hit her home in the southern ukrainian city of her son. natalia not wanting to add to her daughter's

spine does not get damaged. so level, her healthy leg is growing normally. so the length and volume of the prosthetic and has to be adjusted constantly for your mother or so what the marina also regularly meets with the psychologist who's helped her make sense of her new reality, inapplicable. 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 be? and she did not want to communicate with anyone. ha, 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 love would be market his mom and i have been in his office with god. the said looks horrible. ha allah! with it. then slowly, with the help of various methods, family therapy, art therapy, a rehabilitative. you can see that marina now communicates perfectly with everyone and has fun. oh cool, it's absolute love sema, alyssa laid say less than
