12:02 pm
ram through his controversial pension reforms. without a vote by parliament opinion polls show about 2 thirds of people in france, oppose the legislation. ah, tear gas and water cannon on the historic plus de la 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 a bill pushed through parliament, which raises the retirement age by 2 years to $64.00. o. 4 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
12:03 pm
and don't cover, you know, 60 years is largely sufficient and to where we are paid correctly. women as well as man. if some comedy is over, embattled president, emmanuel mccall will have to deal with more protests and accusations of anti democratic behavior. after adopting the contentious legislation without a parliamentary vote, the protest could echo 2018 yellow vest populous movement against rising prices. minova all technology on his x. now comes the hard part, much to fraction neglect because demonstrations and strikes are no longer possible here. so we're going to do what the yet vested hole showed. the 2 thirds of the french population oppose the pension reform. the protest may just be the beginning of a political crisis. oh, he doesn't correspond at least lewis is in paris for us. so lisa, is this really the final word on pension reform,
12:04 pm
or can the government's decisions still be overturned? while the special constitutional power of the government is now using means that the pension reform can only be overturned. if there is a vote of no confidence, we understand 4 parties, 4 position parties will bring in such a emotion in parliament and parliament, should they turn on these emotions next monday. now when you look at the figures at the government should be fine because it has, you know, not a majority, but the, the republican party, the conservative party, they have said the heads of that party of said that they would vote against any such mation. however, looking back at yesterday's a day, what happened here in france? many conservatives didn't follow what they're the heads of their party head side and the past concerning this pension reform. so there is still a doubt that next monday, you know,
12:05 pm
this one of the motions could get through. in that case the government would fall, and also the pension reform would fall with the government. how unusual is it to the french government to skirt parliament like this and to force legislation through now this rule has been used about 90 times since the beginning of the 5th republic republic. so since the 1900 fifty's. not really extraordinary. but over the past 2 decades, sir, it has been seen as a symbol against the population's will really, it's not been seen as a normal constitutional tool. and many people here feel my car. the president is unable to convince the french, but he's also able to convince parliamentarians. and so it seems that the decision to use this special constitutional to now really mean for many people, a provocation. and people are turning out to protest even more and
12:06 pm
a threatening with a more violent protests of the coming days and weeks. i was gonna ask you to tell us more about the protest. let me, how widespread are they really and, and how much of a threshold to the government we have seen last night, few 1000 people turning out here in paris, but also across france. but since this morning that have been blockades that have been much of a, there are still strikes ongoing and circle factors, for example, the energy sector. and, you know, we will see how this will, you know, turn off if the, if the strikes will grow so far. it's not a nationwide general strike. but the unions have come to came together last night and said that there would be such another day of nationwide strike the 9 such days since the beginning of the debate on this reform in parliament. and, you know, it remains to be seen if they gain momentum right now. there's a lot of anger here in france and many people fear really that, you know,
12:07 pm
the fonts that about this country might face very difficult time in the coming weeks. what's in place? lisa lewis reporting from power link you we're going to take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. a group of big u. s. banks have handed a lifeline to the struggling 1st republic bank after investors lost confidence in the regional lender. the group provided a $30000000000.00 cash injection to shore up its balance sheet. a mid fears of a bank run. markets have been spooked by the sudden collapse of to us banks last week. china's foreign ministry and the kremlin have confirmed that president season ping will meet with his russian counterparts. let him have hooted in moscow next week. this will be, she's 1st visit to russia since 2019, and it comes as booth and faces isolation on the world stage over his war on ukraine. and russia's defense minister has decorated the pilots of the
12:08 pm
2 fighter jets that intercepted a u. s. drone over the black sea on tuesday, the pentagon says a video that it released shows one of the russian plains dumping fuel on the drone . washington has called the russian conduct in the incident, unprofessional, and irresponsible al slovakia has said that it will supply fighter jets to ukraine. this follows a similar announcement by fellow nater, member nato member. poland. warsaw also said yesterday that it would deliver full, fully operational soviet era, make 20 nines in the coming days. so the backend now says it will donate all of its megs as well. slovak is soviet era fleet was retired in 2022. ukraine has repeatedly urged western partners to send will planes to help defend against russia's invasion public, but she is
12:09 pm
a security analyst and ceo of rasmussen, global as the political consultancy dw asked him earlier about the pressure on other countries, especially bigger ones like the u. s. and germany to also supply ukraine with fighter jets. well, i think a year ago they should be point with bet on 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 stick 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,
12:10 pm
and we've seen the house and 44 to assemble relatively, i think a critical mass of the 2 tanks to be delivered to ukraine. so it will be all sort of sticky and politically, very hard to get off of those air frames to kind of make a difference. but i would think this is all positioning the gray. i was trying to do to get that by the end of this year. era has been widely accused of indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas in ukraine. the attacks have left many koreans, including many children with life changing injuries. the doctors are finding ways to tackle the trauma. t w is abraham visit to the hospital in key for a medical team has helped one. now get back on her feet. the wlan, 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
12:11 pm
lit up a little slow than that. yes. oh, she has grown so much during this time since the war and everything that has 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 knows are marinas, physiotherapist recovery had to start from the insight. oh, but who said that i approached her 1st as a child 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
12:12 pm
as a doctor and she has a patient. we would not have had this result was been the loosening of them. you need to find an approach and 1st of all, not to become a friend receive but settling phones, thought the room is the name of defense. then there was the challenge of finding prosthetic st who could work with someone. so young was oscars 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 has to be adjusted constantly for your love her or so out there. marina also regularly meets with the psychologist who's helped her make sense of her new reality, inevitable. 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?
12:13 pm
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 novel lava beam ostrich is mom, and i have been in as ali with scholar the said, looks holla, a lab, 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. oh cool. it's absolutely. as a semi 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. they say that prior to the more they didn't have many cases where they could work together in an interdisciplinary set up. ok 1000. yes, we are like one big family. marina is energetic. some days she wants to be
12:14 pm
a soccer player. on others, all she talks about is race car driving. whatever she ends up doing, her team will always be proud that they helped her take that 1st step. and joining me now in the studio is d w. special correspondent, abraham, who filed that report from ukraine. a at marina is obviously such a tough little girl, but we didn't hear from her in your report. why was that? so this was actually the explicit wish of her mother and her psychologist because they had felt that, you know, did in this phase of her treatment and rehabilitation, they didn't really want anyone there, especially a stranger like a journalist. them, it was pretty great that we were even there and able to observe her during this training to talk to her about, you know, what happened to her and maybe even ask her basic questions about how she feels. because, you know, as i learned, making this report,
12:15 pm
the 1st rule of trauma rehabilitation is do no harm. and you know, even that we would have, obviously, you know, coordinator with them. what we would talk to her about, we wanted to make sure that we weren't also doing any damage. by filming this report. i mean, we wanted to tell a story of rehabilitation that was kind of my motivation for the story. that's why i was really, really interested it interested in it and of course, making report about someone and never speaking to them is it is quite a challenge. so the next best thing was to talk to everyone around her. and, you know, for me as a journalist, there was also a re lesson in how to tell a story about someone it, you know, a different, a different approach. and from that came kind of a very different story from what i expected to be telling initially. but one that i think was very worthwhile. and certainly something that i feel you don't see every day in ukraine reporting about ukraine. i mean, when we were talking earlier we were talking went way about the fact that there was this fully functioning hospital in, in keith and, and a big team around her. i mean, so many aspects to this story. what,
12:16 pm
what was it that sort of stood out for you moved you most about this particular story? i think it's how this group of people um, were able to find a sense of purpose in what is just an absolutely tragic situation. i mean, i've been to ukraine in the war has been going on for a year now. it's very difficult to tell how much longer it will be going on for. and i think psychologically for everyone who's in the country, making sense of that is, is difficult. it's something that's very hard to, to process. and i think with that group of people, you know, working with this girl, they found a sense of purpose and tragedy. and i think that's very, you know, that's powerful. and also for them in, you know, in their practice, in their careers. they told me, this is just, you know, prior to the war, we weren't really able to work that way where it's, it's a colored collaborative experience. it's much more interdisciplinary, but they were because they had found that purpose, they were able to overcome even working habits or practices that they had had
12:17 pm
before. and that for me was really, really striking how people were able to find sort of that project in the middle of all of the tragedy going. i mean, it certainly is a story that has quite a happy ending, doesn't it? but i mean, i know that there are many other children adults waiting full prosthetic limbs. and can you give us a sense of how bad the situation is? i mean, how big is the demand for for prosthetics in ukraine right now? i think for soldiers and people that are um, you know, more in the, you know, direct combat situation. probably a situation is a lot more difficult, but actually it did before marina. i mean, what i understood from the doctors is that, you know, they were able to give her that much attention or, and are able to give her this much attention because most cases actually choose to go abroad. and so the, the demand right now for children's prosthetics specifically, is not as high. and so that's why they were able to give her that attention, which ended up being, you know, happy ending for her. and her mom who was very,
12:18 pm
very um, committed to staying in the country because she told me, you know, her daughter just did not want to go abroad. and she didn't want to expose her to, you know, without a challenge of having to learn another language. and so on out, not more true moran of what she's experienced already with abraham. thank you so much for that. the german chancellor, olaf shall it's has voice concern over israel's planned overhaul of it's to dish. re he made the comments after a meeting with israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu in berlin. critic say the israeli government's plans would allow it to overturn supreme court rulings. plans have sparked a wide spread demonstrations across israel. o taking to the streets of tel aviv to disrupt the city. thousands of israelis took part in the plant day of resistance on thursday,
12:19 pm
against plans by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. 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 every 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 protest is in his rail. during the leaders
12:20 pm
meeting, schultz expressed his concern for the ongoing dispute in israel single cottage of the up 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 in all this nonsense. it will took not a lot of time to realize that this was absurd. it's preposterous. the meeting in berlin was an opportunity for the pair to underline their close to plan matic relationship, especially in the area of defense and combined efforts to combat anti semitism. and the united nation says that one 3rd of lebanon's children are not attending school that says the country's economic crisis ripples through the education system, which is threatening to collapse due to
12:21 pm
a lack of funds. and the hardest hit by these disruptions are syrian refugees. rim ele, uh, might feel sad as she watches children in her neighbourhood, returning home from lessons at their private schools. she now spends most of her days watching television, like thousands of other syrian refugees. she hasn't attended classes since january when public school teachers across lebanon began the latest in a series of strikes. under atlanta, huck alondo, the children go to private schools. my parents don't have money to pay for a private school, so i go to a public one. that's always closed, you to strikes them and sec gallano. now that i will, that i will a little since lebanon's financial collapse began in 2019 teachers have repeatedly walked off. the job to protest drastically devalued salaries and poor work conditions. bill, mila said, cibola teachers basically have no rights. 70 percent are on temporary contracts,
12:22 pm
working without rights insurance for transportation causing a lot of their monthly salary is less than 50 us dollars, and they only get paid every 3 months. the password, some 300000 lebanese children, have been locked out of lessons, as well as tens of thousands of syrians, even though their classes are funded by foreign donors. the education ministry in beirut claims it's a matter of equality. if lebanese children can't attend school, neither should refugees, all the un fears, an increase in child labor and marriage among syrian students. with this situation for a syrian, as children in lebanon is extremely difficult and has been difficult for quite some time since more than 60 percent of them have not been in school, have not been in public school and despise huge, significant support from many countries around the world including germany and other european union countries,
12:23 pm
i saw these resources are available and were calling on the authorities to re open the schools so that all children have the opportunity to go to school for rim. it's another painful delay to her education. after fleeing civil war in her homeland and lengthy pandemic school closure with any any, it bothers me a lot. sometimes i sit alone and ask myself, why do other children get to go to school? and i don't. why don't i know how to read and rice and other children do? i'm in 6th grade and i still don't know how to read and write. rim once had hopes of becoming a pediatrician that the crisis and lebanon's education system has made her chances of realizing that dream as dim as if she'd remained in syria to spain now which has its bull fights. the us, of course, has its rodeos, and india has jolly cut too. and as in other countries in which bowls a used for sport jolly cut to has its critics. t w's manero chowdhury traveled to
