weaponry has already been handed over. i'm the united states in do us a tragic school shooting. the fixed confirmed fatalities include 3 st. jude ah i'm feel gale. welcome to the program. who began in israel, where prime minister benjamin netanyahu has delayed until next month, his plans to introduce controversial judicial reforms in a televised address. he said he made the decision to allow time to reach a compromise with the opponents of the changes. now the move follows massive civil disruption and pressure which shut down much of the country and threatened to paralyze the economy. here is speaking in the last couple of hours

you talk a sense of national responsibility is locked out of a will to prevent a rupture among our people who have decided to pause the 2nd and 3rd readings of the bill. in this session of the connection, in order to give time to look at that and reach that wide consensus for well as go to our correspondence, tanya kramer in jerusalem, welcome tanya is likely to be enough to satisfy protesters. well, that's certainly of the big question tonight. i mean, i spoke to some of the opponents of that who have been protesting in the past as 3 months. and they said, no, they're very skeptical, very cautious. they want to know what this a dialogue that a prime minister benjamin netanyahu offered will actually look like. now today we seen, you know, this unprecedented a general strike big protest again, also by the writing that are in support of this traditional overhaul. so we

understand the unions have called off the general strike for now, but we heard from the protest leaders, the opponents of this controversial judicial overhaul that they say. this is a mer postponement, and that they will continue to protest. you might seen a know that it might come down a bit because we understand that it will be picked up after the kinessa comes back after the recess of the jewish holidays. but they have to continue at the protests against that judicial overhaul. and so talk us through them that the reaction to this, that delay from a members of these ready parliament. well i think we have to understand that i know we were waiting all day for prime minister benjamin netanyahu to come out and you know, announce is decision what he wants to do. and that was possible because he had because he had to get his coalition partners and board even before he spoke. we understand, or by a statement, by the far right or my, you did

a party or with it's leader bank there who's the minister for national security that they had agreed on this or a postponement. but they want to continue and want to go ahead with this to dish or overhaul. now, after the announcement re reactions are still coming in and hearing cautious reactions by the opposition. and mainly by positioning the yellow peed. all of them have spoken by now. he welcomed this, but he also said, you know, we hope that this is a genuine offer. he also heard from is really president or it's a house. okay. he had actually worked on a compromise which was rejected then by the coalition government. he said again that he actually welcome the delay. it's the right thing to do. he said he also offered, you know, his residence again for the parties to come together. ok, thank you for that. or tanya kramer in jerusalem.

let's get more on this from a guy laurie. he's a research fellow at the israel democracy institute. welcome to d. w. mister lorry. this sounds like mister netanyahu has quite a job on his hands, by the sound of it, he has to find compromised. not just with opponents of this legislation, but also a compromise that will satisfy his own coalition in need. and some of the members of the cosigner very adamant. yes, they can going forward with the legislation. and also we need to do is find a compromise with a very diffuse, this 1st kind of protest movement that does not follow their directions, the opposition parties. and so he has a very difficult challenge. and how much has the public outcry played into mister netanyahu? is that decision?

well, i think it played a major role, and it seems like a spontaneous outcry began last night after. the fact is that defense minister was the huge. you had a huge impact was continuous electrifying and listening really of the public sphere people going on to the streets. institutions that were out of the labor union and municipality university is all declared to general stripe. and that's the new, droll, and really forcing the hand of president minutes. now to do that. right. so who do you think then miscalculated was this, was this an ethan yahoo problem was this a problem foisted on him by this that the right wing of his coalition? was it gone wrong?

well, that's definitely been an miscalculations by the coalition, by a minister of justice minister and they know they did not expect that this kind of massive protest movement that we saw on the street. but really, there is a, the issue is more material than that. i think the coalition already have a very different view of what the constitution of israel should look like. and the ones that very different kind of israel ls democratic israel and the public would simply not agree to that. so you could have a more elegant process, you've more or less in hurry, some kind of process. but at the end of the day, the class between the vision of israel, of the coalition and the street from the opposition were just to great. right. and

the crowds on the streets are one thing that the cry from the opposition another we have the opposition, the leader and former prime minister. yeah. le p wanting that if these changes are made, then they could been a future government could if it wanted to cancel future elections. is that a real danger? i think the issue is not really cancelling the a structural issue of election to holly out elections. there might be a future government that will curtail the right to run to office by minorities and there are some proposals that will have that affect it directly and make it how the free elections that make it really impossible for a change of regime. i think those are the really fears of opposition and it's

part of a great, you're taking that power out of the courts and really through telling judicial independence will make it difficult to protect the basic rights of the evidence of israel. all basic rights. not only the right to vote about other basic, right, right. the policy freedom speech. and these are the risks that position. thank you so much for that guy, laurie from the israel democracy institute. thank you very tall stories making headlines around the world. at least 16 people have been killed after a heavy rain triggered massive land slides in southern ecuador, mudslides, i hate in the middle of the night, burying dozens of homes and in the village of allows. here several people are missing and rescues of racing to clear the debris. school teacher has died after

being stabbed by a 13 year old student in the brazilian city of south. paolo, 3 other teachers, and 2 students will also attacked their authority, say the injuries mine at least 50 times. the attack of questioning us vice president, pamela harris as hell talks with don as a president, nana a cooper, i do in the capitol acro. ms. harris is expected to announce that nearly $140000000.00 in assistance for the west african nation. and she will also visit tanzania and zambia as part of washington's push to deepen ties with the continent. german chancellor, all i've shown says germany has delivered on its pledge to provide ukraine with 18 leopard to battle tanks, along a way to german manufactured vehicles, were reportedly handed over to ukrainian forces. the countries border, the delivery marks of major shifted ukraine's battlefield capability and fulfills along held promised by germany to ukraine. so how

big a deal is this delivery? here's our correspondent to nick connelly from near the front line in the cranium city of cramming task. 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 concern because people here tell you that this spring offensive, everyone's 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 to move forward any time. so this is a massive, massive development. let's make a conway. mark montgomery can help us through the detail. he's a retired u. s. navy rear admiral and serves the senior director of the center on cyber and technology innovation or the foundation for defense of democracies. you joins us washington, d. c. welcome to d w. and what sort of difference do you think?

18 leopard 2 is going to make. well, 1st thank you for having me. and as you're a reporter to, it's going to make a significant difference. the these tanks will be part, i think, of an overall grouping of $88.00 of $100.00 tanks that come from germany whole and sweden, finland, norway, spain, portugal in canada. now a lot of deliveries of the left lever to which is absolutely the right tank for ukraine or has it mixes firepower accuracy maneuverability mobility as a long range. as a diesel engine easiest to make, much easier to maintain and say, u. s. and one, a, one, a rooms, i think that this is going to have a significant effect on the battlefield. and i think it was the best possible contribution that germany and many other western european powers could make to the ukrainian war effort. ok, so that's quite a ringing endorsement. and $11.00 does,

is there a sense in which the delivery of the heavy weapons also puts pressure on ukraine from its west and allies. if these don't help you push the russians back, then maybe you, you need to sit down and sue for peace. well, i think these are part of a broad as we think about any upcoming ukrainian offensive in the dom boss region. i think this is part there seems to be seen as part of a of an overall western contribution. i think we have to provide a lot of artillery rounds, a lot of guided missile launcher rocket systems. as the gamblers that goes on the high mars launchers, i think we even have to be thinking about providing attack on the longer range artillery systems. you need to provide that artillery along with this maneuver capability in the tanks with both of those with both of those in numbers artillery, including long range attack homes and tanks spearheaded by the lever to

contributions with those together. this is the time for ukraine to be able to significantly alter the battle field and improve their position either for a final negotiation or to actually call back all the territory they lost in the east, in eastern grain. ok, so the tanks, not the end of the story as far as supplying ukraine goes. russia took heavy losses and they said, when to fighting for back move, do they have the resources to repel a new ukrainian offensive? that's going to be interesting to see because you're absolutely right. they took heavy losses. now they weren't their losses were mixture. they weren't necessarily all front line troops, but their losses were among the wagner group of former prisoners, which obviously weren't something of value to the, to the russian military. but also many of the kind of scripts that they,

they brought on over the last 6 to 9 months. so they didn't take a lot of losses. there's going to be a morale problem for them. it's not just a question with russia resources as resources plus will, and i think they've had significant negative impacts on the morale and the willingness of their troops to fight. so i think that as much as that is the training and offensive is going to push the russians their own failure over over the last 2 months. but more broadly, over the last 14 months, i think negatively impacts their forces. it makes it less likely to do better withstand ukrainian pushes good. talking to us very clear. thank you so much for joining us. montgomery in washington. now you're training president of a lot of me as it actually has handed out metals to soldiers. on a surprise visit to the front lines. in fact, troops for service in the separation region where russian forces are in control of

europe's largest nuclear plant. fist fighting is still raging in the countries east with casualties on both sides. mounting ukraine doesn't disclose its losses, but u. s. officials of estimated more than 100000 ukrainians have been killed or injured during this war or fierce fighting in the east of the country. means casualties have been mounting on both sides. across the country, make shift to graveyards, have been marked out to bury the full loaded b r a shanker, which is 20. when he died. i like to 26 vote and plesco was 21. they all thought for their country at this graveyard, in hoc eve, there are hundreds of soldiers graves over each one flies ukrainian flag. it sits in though the price is so high. do you see how many of our soldiers have

. when they 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 berlin's train station have mixed feelings about the action or the even mid dims 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 watching it on tv. with 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. addison, ruts. holden on millions of nurses who rely on buses and trains are suffering because of these excessive and extreme strikes. not everyone can work from home. thousands of companies who rely on sending and receiving goods by train will also
