95 percent of the members of parliament sit and vaulted last spring, that we are to apply for membership. now we have good earnest, thank you her button and we have a neighbor, sweden. and what i now say is not only due to the fact that they are nice people and we have excellent relations with our neighborhood button. i have a feeling that phineas nato membership is not complete. without her sweden. we are a correspondence during jones, joins me now from is dan ball during a momentous occasion. can you sum up what you heard listing into that purse conference? one day? this will be up, but then to stay for. they have be over again now waiting to join nato,
4:04 pm
off the receiving. they are, you not overwhelming, surprise, kill their location, but it has been held up by turkey and hungry over concern. turkey says is their failures to deal with good terror problems of turkey faith because no one said, calling this agreement last summer with nato, finland, and turkey the pin. and had that carried out all the aspects of that agreement, kentucky was ready to admit, fin the finish president. i pay praise to the relationship between $10.00 and particular praise for president 3rd, one for his relationship over the ukranian war with close ties of ukraine in president. and the russian president vladimir putin saying he's probably the only person, the whirlpool. suddenly one of the few that has context across the bolt and has successfully broke the deal, full grain be distributed from ukraine and that will certainly be welcomed by one who is in a very difficult election campaign. when this meeting is taking place. so there was a great deal of warmness for both sides following this agreement. although that was
4:05 pm
this disappointment of sweden to has not been agreed to join nato as of yet by token. during what's the process from here? finland have turkey tick. when can the fans expect to get the official to took his ratification from him? well, it should be a formality. i mean, president one's a p policy controls. parliament has an overwhelming majority. so, ratification should be very quick, although no one did seem to indicate a little bit about it. hopefully this will be rectified before the polymer closes for the election in may. now quite what that possible delay could be is unclear, but i think that will be a little bit of concern and send them over. this appeared to be a formality, but if everything goes to plan that that should be enough time in the next couple of weeks. for parliament to ratify what you've seen as a myth amount of sweet. and now dorian is the clear and obvious exception here.
4:06 pm
one has significant reservations. why is one ok to sign off on finland to join but not sweet? well, part of that was very clear about that. he said the same, the swedish case is all very different. he said walton and has met all the parts of the agreement that was reached last summer between nato and turkey. they say finland hasn't been on still so sweet and still hasn't met all the criteria. in particular, the concern is that they say the sweden is aubrey. various terrorist organizations that are fighting the 30 state of the kurdish workers policy, the p k. k, which is the fighting for decades and also a group of turkey playing for a fair qu, attempts against president one. and one says that these harris group have for free to protest on the streets of sweden. and he said that simply is unacceptable. and
4:07 pm
he also made it very clear that they pretend to the list of a 124 people, but turkey wanted extra guy could back the turkey from sweden. now sweden, this is purely a matter of course. they say that hands on time. but on christ says that's not good enough, they say they want to see action on the part of sweden. so they doesn't appear to be any soft. ready on turkey song, at least until after the elections in may, although there is also an element here. the cookies possibly using the blocking suite, them for concessions from washington. they washington, it's very keen for him to join and talk. he's looking some concessions from washington as part of any final agreement. korean john, thank you. slovakia has said it will supply fata jets to ukraine. that follows a similar announcement by fellow nato member, poland. balsam said yesterday, it would deliver for fully operational soviet era make 20 nines in the coming days . slovakia now says it will donate all of its mix as well. so vacuum soviet soviet

era fleet was retired last year. ukraine has repeatedly urged west and partners to st. warplanes to help defend against russia's invasion in france. public displays of anger continue after president a madman. mccall pushed through a contentious pension reform without any parliamentary vote. protest is blocked a key highway around the french capital and escalated blockades at ports. on friday . striking sanitation workers left trash on the streets and university students walked out of lecture halls. the french government now faces and no confidence motion in parliament. next week. opinion polls show 2 thirds of people opposed. the legislation homes move sparked protests across france on thursday night with more than 300 arrests. tear gas and water cannon on the historic plus still a 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
4:09 pm
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 we're now 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, we need good conditions where we down to work for too long of a year, 60 years as largely sufficient. and where we are paid correctly. women as well as man, if i'm covered is a one embattled president, a manual my call will have to do with more protests and accusations of anti democratic behavior. after adopting the contentious legislation without parliamentary vote, the protest could echo 20 eighteens. yellow vest populace movement against rising
4:10 pm
prices and all that, all technology on his x now comes the hard part, much tougher action neglect because demonstrations and strikes are no longer possible here. so we're going to do what the yellow 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. ah, for more on this i spoke earlier to our correspondent lisa lewis, who's following developments in pairs. well, what this special constitutional power means is that the government pegs that reform to a vote of confidence of no confidence. several motions have been fight or, and the press is being fired by opposition parties. and on monday the parliament will hold, the national assembly will vote on these nations. so actually at the reform can
4:11 pm
only be brought down if the government is brought down with the reform. when you look at the figures, the republican party, the heads of the republican party have said that they would not vote against the government that should give the government the necessary majority. and you do it to be to be stable. really. however, looking back at yes of what happened yesterday here in france. a, you know, several republican lawmakers did not. we're not going to vote in favor of the reform. that's why the government use this special power. so it is really not very certain. what will happen on monday, there is a chance that the, the government will have to go and with it reform in terms of the protest. now lisa has this now spread beyond organized union rallies, and at what point could they be seen as so big? the protests that they to big from a call and he's government to ignore well, that's a very good question actually. so far the several of the 8 days of national protests
4:12 pm
were very well organized by the union center. there were very few clashes between protesters and the police because unions have a very efficient security service really. however, they, it's quite clear that people are really angry now and they are say, you know, this kind of protests at they haven't worked. so we want to, we need maybe to become more violent to stop the government. so everybody is watching what is happening here in the country in the coming days and weeks. the union have already said that they would organize another day of national nationwide protests and strikes next thursday. but last night, as we just heard. and also today and over the weekend and more demonstrations are planned and strikes are on going to talk about the people putting pressure on the call and the government. what about the government so far as any science within the government itself, that support for this reform could be fragmented?
4:13 pm
well, worth certain aspect. lots of lawmakers from the government part in the government coalition. we're not happy about the government's decision last night to use this special constitutional power. they wanted the vote to go ahead and if push comes to shove even to lose the vote. many people followed many lawmakers or some, at least in the government party, felt that that would be, would have been the better alternative. and they felt they are not at ease with the government's decision. so it's a, it's not a good situation for the government, for the prime minister, nobody for president my call who's facing lots of criticism from the people in the street from other law makers, but also from lawmakers within his own party. lisa lewis in paris, thanks so much the united nations says one 3rd of lebanon's children are not attending school. that's as the countries economic crisis ripples through the education system which is threatening to collapse due to a lack of funding. and the hardest hit by these to disruptions syrian refugees
4:14 pm
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 ha, colonda, 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 due to strikes, owe them, and sec arellano. now that i will, that i wonder, 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 to bill a whole, he just basically have no rights, 70 percent, or on temporary contracts, working without rights,

insurance or transportation causally about 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 will the un fears an increase in child labor and marriage among serious 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, despise, huge, significant support from many countries around the world. including germany and other european union countries. i saw these resources are available and we're
4:16 pm
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 closures as me and it bothers me, a loss. 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, but the crisis in lebanon's education system has made her chances of realizing that dream as dim as if she had remained in syria to ukraine. now where russia has been widely accused of indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas in ukraine, the attacks of may have left a many ukrainians, including many children with life changing injuries. but doctors are finding ways to tackle the trauma. the dublin abraham visited the hospital in keith, where
4:17 pm
a medical team has helped one young girl get back on her feet. and 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 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 the ski up 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 physical to find a team that could give her daughter the treatment she needs. for no czar marinas physiotherapist recovery had to start from the insight buses,
4:18 pm
her hood. so i approached her 1st as a child support then as a friend then as a patient. so it was, it was, it was very important to set priorities. the michelle defined approach to immediately as a doctor and she has a patient that we would not have had this result has been the loosening of them. you need to find an approach. and 1st of all, nowhere to become a friend, receive bus and shuttle when the guns thought through him, it's on him a defense. then there was the challenge of finding our prosthetic st who could work with someone. so young, catherine was oscars. officer dad, you 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 and has to be adjusted constantly for your love her or so out there. marina
4:19 pm
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, 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. his mom and i have been in his ard with scholar, the said, looks holla, a lab but, but 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. well, it's absolutely 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
4:20 pm
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, ah, taco bell. yes, we are like one big family. marina is energetic. some days she wants to be 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. johnny me in the studio now a state of the special correspondent abraham who fall that report. garcia. marina is obviously a tough little girl, but we didn't hear from her in, in your story, was that so it was the explicit wish of her psychologist and her mother that we don't speak to her directly because that my actually interfere with her treatment. i mean, what they told us is she's really come a long way in accepting, you know,
4:21 pm
that, you know, there is a part of her body that is just not there anymore. and that took a lot of time and that took a lot of work and, and they were just worried that if you had a stranger coming in giving her suddenly attention and that that might be triggering or that, that might be upsetting or that might take her back or you know, damage, you know, the progress that has been that has been made if you notice also with the way that we filmed it, we tried not to come close to her too much because obviously when a child to the camera in front of them they think i'm the center of attention. maybe there's something unusual with me. so we had to take that into account as well as we were filming, and filming the story. but we did get to speak to people around her, which was an interesting experience for me as a journalist, making this as well. because obviously it's, it's difficult making a story about someone that you never get to speak to. but you know, by talking to everybody else, you know, i discovered a different kind of story which is about this team and kind of the work that her, if you spend some quite some time in ukraine and you've seen many difficult and moving situations, what was it about this story that touched you most. i think it's it,
4:22 pm
that the people that were around her were able to lead him. what is, by all accounts, a tragic situation? i mean, she, she, the girl, had a near desks, survived the country's a war. nobody really knows when this war is going to and, and that they were able to find a sense of purpose with her as a kind of project. i think that they were able to find hope and a common goal in something that every day they are working towards within this to create some kind of routine for themselves. and the girl, i think, is something that some very inspirational, that is really stayed with me, make history, understandably so this little girl story had a happy ending, but it's not always the case. many others are still waiting for prosthetic limbs. how bad is the situation in ukraine in that regard? i did as the doctors, if there are, you know, seeing an increase in child amputee children. they said not really because most of these cases with children, especially, are able to go abroad and seek treatment. it was a marina's mother's explicit which not to do that. so to not, you know, add more challenges to her daughter learning a new language and so on. but they
4:23 pm
said that we know with soldiers and people that are more on the front line, that's where they're seeing huge demand and a system that you know, trying it's best. but, and in some cases, struggling to cope at tough story, beautifully told they'd have lease a brim. thanks for coming in. some breaking news coming in now. judges at the international criminal court have issued an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir putin, of alleged war crimes connected to his invasion of ukraine. we'll have more on this developing story coming up shortly. we'll move on for now. as people in malawi are picking up the pieces after cycle and freddy brought devastation to the african nation. hundreds did with many still missing. this was the 2nd time the storm hit, southern africa after it brought flooding to mozambique and madagascar in february bucket by bucket. they bury the dead funerals for the
