a contentious judicial reform. netanyahu's far right coalition party members now said that he is planning to delay the process for discussions. in a statement, the jewish power party said the legislation would be pushed to the next session of the israeli parliament. 7 the protests that refused to die down nationwide demonstrations against prime minister benjamin netanyahu controversial plan toola parliament to overrule israel supreme court. i've been on for almost 3 months and sunday stokes, the flames of protest further by sucking defense minister you off garland, was called to the law to be postponed. that prompted israel's president, isaac had thought to tweet monday that the eyes of the whole world on you, for the sake of the unity of the people of israel. for the sake of the

responsibility i call on you to stop the legislative process. immediately things got worse. when netanyahu, when the country's main trade union announced a general strike that threatens to bring the country to a halt. already most outgoing flights from ben gory, an airport has been cancelled, meant and keeps building after mass protests intervene and jerusalem on sunday night. critics accused antonio of a conflict of interest, his attempt to sideline the judiciary, run parallel to his ongoing corruption trial. whatever his motivations, the widespread resistance to efforts to weaken the courts as great new problems for the prime minister. all right, well for more on this let speak to our correspondent injuries them rebecca raters. she's at the israeli parliament, the concert rebecca. good to see you. so what's the latest you can tell us we

are still waiting for now who to address the connected address israeli people. we've been seeing him arrive, went into the castle than he left, and he went back in and he came out apparently not ready to give the final statement. but we've also been hearing reports. there was a statement by one of the found right factions, one of the parties really holding out negotiation. it's been the security national security minister. he was threatening to quit. these laws were suspended. he is now come on board according to you by the party. that's the jewish power party. they've agreed to suspend, but not abolish the reforms that's really important. they want to make sure that reforms still get passed before the end before the summer break in july. so that will be between the path of a break, which is due next week and july they, they absolutely will, according to these statements, will not done for them being abolished. and in exchange,

it's been via the national security minister with being reported will get a national guard under his direct control. so these, these, what is most likely going to be announced tonight. these changes, these announcements do not look likely to satisfy the protest is outside of the protest across the country with speaking to many of them today, they were saying that a suspension is not enough. they will keep protesting. i even spoke to my rockman, he's the head of the committee who are preparing these reforms. he's been one of the key architect and he's, he's, he's gone a long way to writing most of the reforms. i spoke to him earlier and he said, he doesn't think this will stop the protest. in fact, he doesn't think suspending these reforms is going to make any difference. he doesn't know what happens. he says, thought he doesn't think that it is the right moon. so very, very interesting day here, very contentious evening here at the can. i said i,

we are expecting benjamin netanyahu to address the connected shortly, potentially within the next hour. but that is likely what he's going to say. thanks for that hope that rebecca rebecca ritter's injury isn't right for well for more on the situation. israel let's be can i with d. w middle east analyst a shiny. rosanna shani. great to see you. so a national survey has been called and even is ready. diplomats are joining strikes against non netanyahu's plan, to overhaul to judiciary. tell us, how did israel get to this point? well, anybody watching what's happening in the last 3 months can see israel slowly, but steadily. heading towards this crash into a brick wall now and his coalition partners from the ripening party. i'm very much in demanding to keep on with this reform. it's now in south. feels that this is the only way to correct these really democracy. but he's also emboldened by his

partners and then on the other side, we have who does the movement that is coming from unexpected and waves of support from all walks of life. and these are society, pretty much part from the is really a position indignant, but very much a civil uprising. and we see this clash building up with no size. neither one of the sites when to treat this by president trying again again to bring the sides to cope, you know, to come together to find a compromise. and we see now also, and it's, and you know, this day started with the head of the union calling for a general strike. and israel in usually effectively holding all flights to and out of this room, this could have been the biggest leverage point the, you know, to get people to sit down and compromise. netanyahu has taken the time since then he is not immediately said ok. seeing this, i am now willing to, to call for a hold of at least a temporary suspension. he's been busy the last,

i was trying to guard his coalition because he knows there's great demand within his people within the coalition to keep on with the reform. he cannot just so easily retreat and this is what he's been busy with in the last couple of hours. just trying to find a way to make it work so he can find some letter to climb down but still maintain power still keepers coalition intact. this is his biggest challenge shanee, considering what you're saying there can be israeli prime minister, go through with this judicial reform. it's not clear at all if this will be possible. it's clear that coalition is, is trying to find ways to maybe stole or by time by getting maybe some discussions and negotiations going on. this is something that i will try to advocate for, we believe in his upcoming announcement, but the opposition or the, or the, or just is on the street. they're very savvy. they're very much suspicious of everything coming out of that and you know, in his people they have great demands. they will not just take

a lip service of temporary hold because soon we have the pass over these really easter coming up. and soon after there's a really dependence a and so on. so there's a need for more relax time now, you know, trying to come to consensus for the national holiday. they known it and you want it, they're not going to give it to him so easily. they want to see him getting rid of concessions. it's unclear if this is a, you know, if this can be entangled so easily. shaney, what effect is all of this having on israeli society? we see complete paralysis. we see complete crisis of the, of the economy. you see the strike today, you see tomorrow there'll be no medicine services, for example. no which occasional system we've seen or what is really only national airport bringing in and out people incomplete whole during the day. we also see people on the street trying to keep their daily lives. this is not really possible today. the malls were closed, the biggest firms and business men in the, in the,

in the company, in israel. today, we're standing by with the union, very unprecedented act saying we all need to calm down. we need to bring down the flames. we need to find a way to talk to, to bring on consensus currency. this is not happening. everybody's out in the streets tonight. we're seeing against the protect for death against their form. strong support is off the phone from the right side home. and else i'm trying to count to that so we don't see de escalation coming so fast and unfortunately, and for now it's just paralysis. thanks, honey. shiny rosanna, so middle east and west germany's there spiegel magazine is reporting that berlin has delivered 18 long awaited lepper to bottle tanks to ukraine. the german made tanks were reportedly handed

over to ukrainian forces at the countries border. the delivery would mark a major shift in ukraine's battlefield capability, and it would fulfill a long held promise by germany to ukraine. well, that's go now to d w correspondence. nick con lee. he's joining us from the ukranian city of crime, a tourist near the front line in the east of the country. i nick now there spiegel has reported that germany has delivered long awaited lepper to battle tags to ukraine, as we mentioned. what are you hearing them for now? your great media are all citing dish beagle, but we haven't had anyone. seriously questioning this and we've heard from german government, they're gonna tell us about what they've most recent delivered tomorrow. they have a kind of a regular update function where they kind of talk about what they've actually sent . i think this is really important. i was just the front lines couple of hours ago

. and before this news came in, and the 1st question for everyone, when they found out that we were from a gym and broadcast was where are the tanks? it was a joke, but it was meant with a lot of seriousness and concerned because people here tell you that this spring offensive there was talking about this kind of last chance as it were for ukraine to really push russia back before the pressure when you crane mounts to get back some kind of negotiations with the criminal for that they really need tanks right now. they're doing pretty well defending what they have, but to move forward any tanks. so this is a massive, massive development. now, the lat, amir zalinski has met with sad to you and nuclear watchdog chief raphael grossey, near the front line region of operation fighting irans up reach, a power plant continues to risk nuclear disaster. what was groceries? message nick or grossi was keeping things pretty tight. lipped was not giving us any particularly new lines. i think this is more about kind of behind closed doors, diplomacy and trying to make sure that the staff, that part of europe biggest nuclear power plant, 6, rafters,

they are able to keep going. these are people who are having to cross front lines constantly to see their families and to come back, who under lot of pressure from the russians who control that power station and the risks of an uncontrolled events, some kind of human error mistake. you know that quite apart from the constant attacks on the power supply that's needed for the cooling of directors is just so great that right now all the efforts are on making sure the people working back and do their job as best they can. i think basically the internal thoughts of given up on the attempts to try and demilitarize that area, they try that for a couple months. it's just not working. and it's a very, very demonstration. i think it's just really kind of a testament to the fact that we've all got so used to a war on the scale isn't of europe. that the fact that this huge power station is constantly without means power and constantly scrambling for generators to keep its wrecked, as called, somehow has become normal. that is basically a situation and one that rifle garcia, what's from my people about and make sure that at the enough attention is given to make sure that at least what's going on now is maintained. nick, we saw how the ukrainian presents president travelled so close to the front line.

what does this say and with regards him and how he's able to go there? i think all along this has been about was showing up flooding approaches. it was a who meets people at the end of the very long tables who moves around russia has been reported in specially homage trains is about showing his closeness to the people who are risking their lives on a daily basis. here. fighting on the front lines, i think there's a great deal of security around this and it's all very last minute. there are no kind of preschools in advance. he just pops up various place long front lines and seemingly that is manageable in terms of security. but i think it is important for people to take self is with them to see that he is there, that he is someone who is not just kind of living at the kind of different life in care of in meetings and in special diplomacy, but actually sees the reality of people here, people also do they are tired after a year war. the initial can, adrenalin rush is gone and people are really worried about how this is going to carry on. if you credit your supplies. and if they have basic,

the staying power to keep going for another year. thanks, nick. nay. conley and cram a torch. well, fierce fighting in the east of ukraine means casualties have been mounting on both sides. cave doesn't disclose its losses, but u. s. officials estimate more than 100000 ukrainians have been killed or injured during the war so far across the country made shift, graveyards, have been marked out to bury the fallen. followed me over a shank. ho was just 20 when he died. oh, later, butter. 20 sakes bo down palace go, was 21. they all thought for their country at this graveyard in hoc eve, there are hundreds of soldiers graves over each one flies, a ukrainian flag that sits in though the price is so high. do you see how many of our soldiers have fallen in this war union? i hope the sacrifice is not in vain your ship, so it's

a novel on the durham in ukraine during lent relatives bring bread and sweets to the graves for the dead. irena is here with her son. her husband. it was a border guard club though we do that well, it looks you could a there are so many graveyards everywhere in ukraine. this is awful as it is as close that it is time to end this war. but as a result, there are just too many ukrainian victims, snow, so green is the next group of mourners is already waiting for a 26 year old who was killed in blackwood. let's have a look now at some of their stories making headlines around the world. a school teacher has died after being stopped by her 13 year old student in the brazilian city of south. paolo, 3 other teachers and 2 students were also attacked though authority say their

injuries are minor. police have detained the attacker for question. cleanup efforts are underway in the u. s. state of mississippi. after tornadoes destroyed several towns, president joe biden has declared an emergency freeing up federal funds. at least 25 people were killed when the twisters flattened neighborhoods down to trees and power lines. myanmar military shown to has been marking armed forces day troops paraded through the capital to commemorate the finding of the country's army during world war 2, the military seized power and in prison election. officials elected officials following a coup in 2021. and when can your police have clashed with opposition? protestors who are angry over the rising cost of living, police, fire, tear, gas, and water cannon is crowds to fight a banner demonstrations in the capital, nairobi. opposition, leader, rayleigh ganga. joined demonstrators demanding the government respect, canyon's right to protest. the opposition has cold for renewed demonstrations on

thursday. well, d, w reporter felix marina is in nairobi and i asked him to take us through what is happening over there. if you can see behind me veda some police was still putting up about a kid that had been put so that a loading go don't be able to access these have a fight off this central business district. so all the activities have been cordoned off in and keep it out where he enjoys a musty of supports. tell us felix, read these protests are about the rising cost of living in. can you tell us a little bit about what the demands are of the demonstrators so that the demands by railroad dingo and his team are 1st and foremost he is calling for electoral justice. he still remains that he still maintains that the last election in august and 22. he was bundled out by the electoral commission and he's

saying that if anything is to progress in kenya, then there needs to be electron reforms. other things that they are raised include in the government addressing the high cost of living. they've also talked about that government fulfilling the election promises that are given ahead of their august french didn't to election. so those are some of the things that trailer dean guy and his team have actually raised that the main issues for their protests going forward. felix, what can we expect? is there anything planned we know on thursday that there's a call as well for demonstrations. right? absolutely. so right now, dean got last week said that the demonstrations will be taking place every monday and thursday. so today they demonstrations have taken place and constitutionally they're supposed to end at 6 pm. so they've jeff ended on thursday. we'll be taking place again. but religiously does, and our people from across the board have come asking the government,

the president and a loading dock jelly come together and have dialogue as president and router has remained. adam on saying he won't have negotiations with rayleigh. re loading guy has also said that he won't stop the demonstrations until i have that the demands off woodfield or they have a dialogue with the president. and that is where the situation stands out. thanks. felix felix marina in nairobi were here in germany. the vast majority of rail services, buses, and domestic flights have been brought to a halt by the biggest public sector strike and decades. transport workers from germany's to biggest unions have walked off the job in a coal for higher wages to counter the cost of living crisis. inflation rates in germany have been above the euro's own average in recent months. there is not a train in sight during rush hour at berlin's main station on monday and frank thought airport. germany's top hob is nearly deserted.

tens of thousands of transport workers are going on strike across the country, demanding pay increases to much growing inflation. planes, trains, and buses are at a standstill and in some cities, local transport was also affected. these workers at frank for apple, it say that recent negotiations with their employers have failed. 6 yes, brighton hood, we're striking today because we want to make it clear to our employers that the offer that they have made us is not enough. it does not reflect the amount of work we do. and we're going to show our solidarity with our bargaining committee. going to go see acting on our behalf to day and puts them in which we want to show them that we stand with them. most passengers found out about the plan strike ahead of time. and some stranded travelers at balance train station have mixed feelings

about the action or they even meet them that are already with the people striking. but i would like to warm at home with a beer and be able to share my solidarity my my watching it on tv. solidarity though. do then is ian retiring kernan. not every one was his understanding. the action has been condemned by transport companies as causing major disruption. i didn't do what's holding on to millions of nice who rely on buses and trains are suffering because of the successive and extreme strikes. not everyone can work from home. thousands of companies who rely on sending and receiving goods by train will also be affected. and this is also a head for the environment and for the climate you on that on strictly marshall's salary negotiations will continue between transport walkers in their employees who

eager to get all forms of travel back on track as soon as possible or hers dw reported julia so deli reporting from a very quiet berlin, central train station stations and airports across germany are empty as hundreds of trains and flights have been canceled because of this. so called the mega strike in germany, which is pretty much brought the transport in the country to a standstill. that's because 2 of the biggest unions in germany have come together to call for this big strike to day to ask for a salary increase for public transport workers. they want their pay to be increased between 10 and 12 percent. that's why they're going into negotiations. now with the state and local authorities to try to ask for this raise, they want to workers to have more support and trying to deal with the very high inflation that has hit germany, especially after rushes aggression against ukraine. for example,

we see that in energy prices in food prices, where the inflation rate in february was around 20 percent. that is a very high number. now the state authorities and the local authorities say they themselves are strapped for cash because of the increase in prices. so these negotiations are going to be quite hard and finding a compromise is going to be quite a stretch for the negotiating parties. theresa daily reporting there. let's move to sports now and take a look at the meeting of the international olympic committees board this week. it'll be discussing the participation of russian and belarus in athletes in sports competitions. the i o. c currently recommends allowing such athletes to compete under a neutral flag. but some ukrainian athletes are getting ready to cross swords with olympic officials over the issue and keep the practice their sport between air, raid sirens and missile attacks by russia. the notion that they may have been

expected to compete against athletes from russia and its staunch ala bella ruth leaves the ukranian female fencers at a loss sticky. on the one hand, there is sport and our victories on the other. our soldiers dying fish, it is very difficult but the team has already heard what it regards as bad news from the international fencing federation, the f i. e, which this month voted to a low, the return to competition of russian and bell russian athletes starting in mid april just in time to qualify for the poorest 2024 olympics were helene, that was a, i guess we know that this world in general is not very fear, but this decision, outrageous or, or new log on saturday, protesters raised their voices outside the aisle c headquarters in law, son i oh,

see, president thomas, bah, says no athlete should be discriminated against, based on their passport. and that politics should be kept out of sport. that's not gone, don't well lucy, bruce, fencers, and nash. this is not just our problem, but also an international one. after all, today ukraine is under attack and to morrow it can be any other country. that's why you can't close your eyes to it, to which ukraine has threatened the boy caught of the parasol lympics as a last resort. it's doubtful that the fuel throated support of the u. s. and dozens of other countries would extend to joining them. given that the i was see, says any such moose would be against its charter or before we go, here's a reminder of our top story. in israel, demonstrators have gathered outside the candidate to continue colds for prime

minister benjamin netanyahu to hold judicial reforms. israel's largest union is staging a general strike against the bill. netanyahu's far right coalition party members now say that he is planning to delay the process to allow discussions and that's all we have for now. d. w. news ages of next with barish banner g, and don't forget, you can stay updates on all the latest news and analysis on our website, d, w dot com and you can follow us on our social media. can't be back again at the top of the next hour. take care
