around the world. welcome on this friday, europe's human rights watch. dog is criticizing what he calls the excessive use of force by french police during demonstrations against some very unpopular pension reforms. the rebuke by the council of europe is the latest headache for french president, emanuel micron, who was dealing with strikes blockades and rallies across the country. to day. he also announced that a visit to france by britons king charles the 3rd has been postponed due to violence. this will be the only chance to meet britons, king charles in the french capital. in the coming weeks. his figure has been unveiled in a wax museum. i had of the monarchs now cancelled visit to paris with tensions over a pension reform on the vice many on the street. welcome. the move is for new or you know, have to block off half of paris at the moment because charles was visiting and i don't think so. so if i can, if he is nicholson,

i don't think it's the right time for the king of england to come to paris. miserable today were protesting against the pension reform. and my con wouldn't be available for meetings with him. but police arrested hundreds of protesters across the country on thursday, flight and rail traffic where disrupted as many employees went and strike in both do the door of the city hall was set on fire. pulse show that the majority of the french people opposed microns reform, which will extend the retirement 8 by 2 years. but the president insists it's the only way to keep the pension system afloat. at a e u summit in brussels, the french leader said he was open to finding a way out of the crisis and said, we will not give into this violence. democrats one does not have the right to

violence in a democracy just yet. if i am ready to talk to the union city to make progress on all these matters, union have formed of a major social conflict. if the government does not back down. while francis top court still needs to give its final word on the bill, the country is bracing for more protests. oh, i spoke with our corresponded in france, so you found the car and i asked your how significant the cancellation of the royal visit is. well present macro had really been under a prayer, under pressure for a few days to pull the plug on this visit. my king charles given the palletized situation and really also the prospect of welcoming the king to st. spied up with garbage and really heavy security for every public appearance. not even the people in charge of providing flags and, and great carpets for this event. they were also planning to go on strike. there was a lot of opposition here from politicians also saying the optics of this visit would

have been really bad right now. and i think there is little doubt here in front of the decision to postpone this as it comes as quite an embarrassment lacrosse this was meant to be a highly significant visit. it was meant to really cement a kind of newly revitalized friendship between france and the u. k. after after years of persuasive tensions it, we, if heard today that the french president says that he's willing to talk with trade unions. he knows that they're angry about this, but he's also said that he's not going to change his mind on raising the retirement age. so are these talks, are they going to make a difference? you right. i mean, he has said that he's willing to talk to leave union the does of course, once the constitutional counsel approves this unpopular pension reform. now this is something president macro said in a 10 to my interview earlier this week. so in that sense, this, when it doesn't represent a change of stance, it may be an attempt to really pacify some of the anger the st. do i doubt that's going to have any effect. i think one of the main problems here is that many people

sure are really not just angry at this form, but also the way that it was passed really without element to port. and it, i think for many people who reinforces this image of the president as a kind of a top down leader out of touch. but the concern for re people that we've been hearing a lot of that in the last couple of days today, the council of europe slammed france for the use of excessive police force, particularly in paris. we've seen videos on social media, it does not look good. what are we looking at for the next few days? well, it doesn't feel like these products are going to die down really any time soon. the you deans of already called for another day of strikes and demonstrations next tuesday. yesterday we saw more than a 1000000 people who take to the streets to protest these this unpopular reform. i think one of the biggest, what he's now for the government is really the spontaneous unorganized for tests that have been erupting at night in many cities across france. would that have been

flashing with me, but it doesn't police vandalism, of public property? and i think this really feels a bit now, like we're on the verge of some kind of a social rebellion, like the one we saw during to get a macros 1st. yeah. people are drawing parallels already of correspondence on your phone. the card with the latest from paris on you. thank you. the banking crisis knocking at germany's door shares and the country's biggest lender deutscher bank fell sharply on friday, fueling even more turmoil and financial markets speaking at an e u. somebody brussels to day. the german chancellor insisted that there is no reason for concern describing deutsche bank f stable investors. they're certainly worried as other banks share prices across europe had dropped as follows. the recent collapse of to us banks and the takeover of the swiss bank pretty swiss by its domestic rival. you be? yes. here is all of sholtes coming to day on the banking turmoil.

the finances stim will bolster the european banking system is robust and stable dish transfer. we have the necessary oversight structures and thanks to the work over the years. and the effort of the banks themselves were in a robust and resilient position. and this is an incentive to make progress in the capital markets and the bank in unions. yet, what's more important, we plan to full heartedly make progress for cannon. and i've also comes from hudson to doing it for until time. i asked her correspondence there in brussels, jack carrick, whether or not the chancellor was on the defensive during that press conference. that's right. he was really trying to sort of calm the concerns around this. he said that it deutscher bank is a very profitable bank, and there is no reason to doubt its future. he said that he did so really reorganized and modernized his business model, and that it will be very profitable. now this is over concerns, as you say,

of this shy price, greatly reducing this morning of affairs of contagion after credit suisse. the major swiss bank was taken over by u. b. s. this real concerns about what this means for the banking sector in europe now. and another press conference just along the who french president, emanuel micron. he also backed up this position. he said that the european union's banking system is signed and he blamed the market turmoil around deutschen, but deutsche bank on speculators who was trying to get in while this tomo going in it going on in the banking sector. you said that the use banking situation shouldn't be compared to the swiss. he said it's not a comparable situation. now, this is all sort of happening in a context that was already on the a gender by the european union. trying to kick start its plan. that was put forward in 22008 for a banking union is by harmonizing banking rules, trying to make sure that taxpayers on funding o bailing. i find that if they fail,

and that is, it is sort of got underway off to the financial crisis. 20072008, but it's been relatively sluggish ever since you can sense among the leaders not just shows a micron, but others as well. that had been speaking off to this summit that this is going to start to be a priority issue. as we're seeing these high levels, inflation high cost of living, the concerns around the banking sector, growing on this issue. this banking union issue for the european union is becoming much more of a priority. and there was d. w. 's jack parish. they're reporting from brussels. here's a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . prosecutors in montenegro have charged a crypto currency entrepreneur with forgery, after he was arrested for allegedly traveling with fake travel documents, the south korean fugitive dough quan is also wanted in his home country. and in the united states is accused of fraud following his company's collapse. last year,

which wiped out close to $40000000000.00 of investors money. denmark has asked the russian controlled operators of the north stream to pipeline, to help salvage what you see right here, this unidentified object that was found on the c bed beside the pipeline. it's the last intact north stream pipeline, after 3 explosions destroyed the others last september. authorities have yet to determine who was responsible for the blast. the u. n. has accused both russian and ukrainian forces of carrying out summary executions of prisoners of war reports by you and human rights monitors, documented dozens of killings, as well as the use of torture and the use of people as human shields, documented abuses by russian forces out number those by ukraine, 6 to one the same with a war in ukraine, russian and ukrainian troops continued to fight fiercely in the countries east bark . moot is the city that has come to civil wise slow moving battles that come with

a high human cost. but there is another front line town in eastern new gray that has witnessed crucial ukrainian resistance. and that city is our div cup. it's almost completely encircled now by russian forces. much like bach moved to the north. the city of, of diva may not look like much of the prize and battle there simply isn't much left of it. but rather than say, the russian seemed set on battering the city into submission. this eerie silence a rail and fighting to to him. there are plains rockets here all the time. every day you see there to them that she was really good at birds, eye view says there's barely a town left to occupy, but this isn't stopping rush and fire lucia muzzle. the situation is getting worse and worse. the missiles are getting bigger or buildings literally collapses lawsuit . western intelligence and ukrainian commander say the fighting full of diva is

some of the fiercest of the war. comparisons are being drawn to the embattled city of buck mote. located on the front line and done yet, province of d. fca is another stubborn thorn in the sight of russian troops trying to advance west data gathered by the institute for the study of war shows. the kremlin forces have almost surround at the city. an apparent attempt to cut of d. f gun off from its western supply lines. say, far like back. moot f d. fca has held out. ukrainian treat say they're managing to stop russian forces from breaking through the defense line. but commanders are having to weigh out the use of every shell and bullet you look, we are trying to serve him in newsome with as much as we can possibly encased. this breakthrough to boil the city's fierce

defense has ended a reputation as a 2nd front line fortress and local se average eva has an advantage over by moot. it's been on the frontline since the done bass conflict started in 2014 loose the roster with a very serious fortification line. all armand concrete with bunker's israel fortress is protected better than boat than you bottled the fortress or not. the ukrainian government has advised of div got people not to take their chances of voluntary evacuation effort has emptied the city of most of its 25000 residents. but some field they just can't leave. are so weird. what about leaving my sons? i am the cemetery. no one needs me any more. you're going to lose, but it's a sentiment shed by others. local officials say some 2000 people have chosen to stay in the city. they belong called hein?

with russian traipse pushing to encircle f d fca. they face a growing risk of being left to their own devices. so will of div could become the next bach moves. i put that question do domain to los algorithm. also a senior lecturer, insecurity development at kings college one. i mean, it is possible, i mean the fighting is, is very intense as was described in your program. you know, there, the cds is almost is encircled on, on some fronts, but not entirely robotics it's going to be hard to provide additional reinforcements. ah, you know, so i think the situation at the moment is quite fragile. i think a lot of the eyes were, were on, on by warden and you're not at the same time this area became much more a great skin away because the ukrainians managed to sort of, you know,

stop the very sort of strong advancements of the russians in back more so i think that this is also very fragile secretion. i under underneath it is possible i think the problem is that the main, the main roads or the big roads that chronic to optic car seemed to be more or less on under russian control. on, on, via the cities is very close to or to don't yet could to move to an area where it was supplies, probably at much, much easier to provide it. there are reports that the russian offensive around bark mood is losing steam. is that what you're hearing? i think the reports that are coming is that the ukrainians are quite successfully sort of push back some of the advances freshly on the northern parts or not. but you know, it's not very clear. but what, what seems more or less clear is that russians haven't been able to take the city. i'm there. they have expanded on my mind on the mission calorie men.

and they said maybe exhausted. some of some of it thought it was interesting that they had to wagner pmc company was talking about gauging his efforts now to, to, to africa. now this might possibly be because he's not getting his group is not getting the necessary ammunition from the russian military. so there is, may be a sign of restoration there, but certainly, you know, the russians suffered a lot of losses and pro ukrainian. so though the proportions are lower in terms of numbers of the brain that was done. my july 2nd, most of their senior lecturer, insecurity and development at kings college london. thousands of people in nigeria snazzier delta region are suing the oil giant shell. they say the company is responsible for polluting rivers and underground water supplies towns in the new

year delta region of say that they have not had access to clean water for decades. now, the w corresponded for region 2, quorra has this report life in our galley east of blessing. james has lived here with her husband for 5 years. everything is hard to calm by including clean water. i'm not in them. that is the sofa that's on that you heavy. so no person come on fish. water. yeah. was will to have my all what they my house. oh golly. the community in oakland land part of ne jerry as earl reached angel delta, big oil multinationals like she'll have explored the area for decades. pollution from oil spills has left the ground water and reversed contaminated. this is the or go near river in line j delta, and if you look closely,

you can see oil at the surface of the water and also some fish have been washed off the shore as a result of the pollution, this water is completely useless even though people can see what i hear the actually have no access to clean water. this community used to rely on fishing or with this level of pollution, their source of food, income and water has vanished. this will face no good. i will be fed is what a lady will useful above the soap we know for you to where use it for wash it. see we know full. maybe we use it for cookie. we hear the smelling muscle, the united nations environmental program ran tests on the water in or gully. they found levels of consequence in benzene to been $900.00 times higher than the level of payment paid by the award health organization. scientists also found it says to me, thousands of refined oil on the ground water,

which feeds the whales of people who drink from local authorities have one people do not drink the contaminated water, but many like blessing have no choice and the are forced to the damage to the hill, that's where you see most and we see in the levels, ovarian cancer privilege is increasing. we're seeing the age of people coming down with consol decreasing before you speak, contact us from 506070 years. when a cpu children come into our consol, 8101520. the government provided water stations across the need to supply clean water from the community. but none of the station has worked for years. local authorities ad me said they have not done enough. let's say the responsibility for solving the crisis, like what we do for local government and the

state government is done to support support subs. but the main issue is with the federal government. everybody believe while policy shows in named jerry, i play the blame game and argue of actual responsibility to provide clean water for the people or galleys. others have taking the matter into their own hands. like traditional lay down king marigold doing no problem. he has leased that 14000 individual cases of the damage caused by shields oil, spilling and seeking compensation in court. in the u. k, we have a company, it was a while. there are people that that receive dividend and they sit down and enjoy the money. and the children, grandchildren is enjoying the money. i want to tell them that money is blood money . that money is broiled broad money as you're using the money to, to get confirmed for you, your children and your wife a, your dissent yell,

your dependent. so actual drink of or galle i dine, the case could take yes. in that time, nigeria and shell will continue to profit from o'kelly's oil. while people like blessing genes, who continue to suffer the consequences of the content belief, edward that the effort to change in a joy now by katerina the albuquerque, she is the ceo of sanitation in water for all that's a global partnership of governments. donors, civil society, that working together to prevent water crises like we just saw there in nigeria, she joins me tonight from new york, where she attended the un water conference, caterina's going to have you where this in the numbers are not looking good. we're talking about 2000000000 people on the planet. don't have access to. i'm to safe drinking water. i'm even more don't have access to basic sanitation. why has it there been more progress with something that seems so basic, essential and good. good afternoon. here from new york,

the concert is and i'll get over and we are still waiting to see the summary of the conference. but why there hasn't been more progress. because there has not been sufficient political wheel. and for what, there is any question in the world. and if we compare the number of heads of state, the names of government that attended this conference, we, for example, the latest oceans conference that took place less than one year ago. you see in that conference we had 24 heads of state and government. here we had seeks, he's weren't there any, any question or are these topics being prioritized at the highest level inside national government? we don't think so. we think we need more political when we need more ambition. we need more action, we need and more money. and we also need accountability to make sure that any commitments night and if the bleak ations are followed up to and there are

consequences in case inc, as they are not meant. yeah. and the consequences if they aren't met can be life or death for certain people. i know that you have said that women and girls are the ones who are most likely to die due to lack of access to water and sanitation. and why is that? they're more likely to die. they are more likely to miss school. they're more likely to be right. they're more likely to me and to me, so work and why? because they are normally the ones inside the household who are responsible for managing the water and walking long distances, even do and safe places to get to know what their and they are right. i met with women who told me this type of stories. and when they are having their periods and they don't go to work, they don't go to school, be that because they cannot afford minstrel hygiene products. so they are the what if they are sick people in that, in the house because of what they're born diseases. they are the ones who take care
