a lot of time to find compromise with opponents of the changes on the move follows massive civil disruption under pressure which shut down much of the country and threatened to paralyze the economy is speaking in the last couple of hours we talk a little bit of 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 the session of the connection. in order to give time to look at that and reach that wide consensus over so well, this announcement be enough to satisfy protesters. i put that to i correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem. well that's certainly of the big question tonight. i mean, i spoke to some of the opponents of that have been protesting in the past 3 months, and they said, no, they're very skeptical, very cautious. they want to know what this a dialogue or 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 right wing that are in support of this a traditional overhaul. so we understand the unions have called off the general strike for now. but we heard from the protest leaders to opponents of this controversial tradition of all that they say this is a mer postponement, and that they will continue to protest. you might see a note 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 that they have out to continue the protests against the traditional overhaul. and so talk us through and the reaction to this, that delay from a members of israel, the 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 possibly because he had because he had to get his coalition partners on board even before he spoke. we understand by a statement, by the far right on my you did a party with its leader, my bank there, who is the minister for national security that they had agreed on this a postponement. but they want to continue and want to go ahead with this traditional overhaul. now after the announcement re, reactions are still coming in and viewing, you know, 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 is a health. so he had actually worked on a compromise which was rejected then by the coalition government. he said again that he actually welcomed the delay. it's the right thing to do, he said,

and he also offered, you know, his residence again for the parties to come together. thank you for that. a tiny kramer in jerusalem or guy, laurie is a research fellow at the israel democracy institute. i asked him if mister netanyahu needs to find compromises with the opposition and with him, his own coalition. it and some of the members of the cosigner very adamant. yes, they can going forward with the legislation and also we need to find a compromise with a very diffuse this 1st kind of protest movement that does not follow their directions, position 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 played a major role, and it seems like a spontaneous outcry began last night after. the fact is, the defense minister was the you had a huge impact. it was 10 years electrifying and listening really of the public sphere people going on to the streets. institutions that were out of the labor unions, municipality universities, all the grad, a general strike. and that way, the new, droll, and really forcing the hand of president minister nathan. now to do that. right. so who do you think that 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 minister of justice minister. and now the did not. i think expect that this kind of massive movement that we saw on the street, but really there is the issue is more material than that. i think the coalition authorities have a very different view of what the constitution of israel should look like. and the ones are 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. i did more of a hurry, some kind of process. but at the end of the day, the class between the vision of israel, of the coalition and the streets and the opposition were just too great. right. and

the crowds on the streets. i won't think that the cry from the opposition another we have the opposition 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, is not really cancelling the a structural issue election to holly out elections. there might be a 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 and make it really impossible for a change of regime. i think those are the real fears of opposition and it's part of a great you're,

you're taking that power out of the courts and really curtailing judicial independence will make it difficult to protect the basic rights of the evidence of israel always writes, not only the right to the but other basic right, right. the quality freedom speech. and these are the rest of this year. thank you so much for that guy laurie from the israel democracy institute. thank you very it's a brief look at some more stories making headlines around the world will start in spain, where fire fighters in the east of the country are still battling to contain the 1st major while of the season. 5 days after it began. places for more than 1500 people to leave their homes. officials of play the early start with the 5 phase and on climate change. at least 16 people have been killed after heavy rains

trigger, massive land slides and 7 equitable the most likely hit in the middle of the night . bearing dozens of homes in the village of allow see. several people are missing and rescue us and racing to clear the debris. redland is a step close joining nato after hunger is parliament approved it's bit of warming. majority hunger is one of the last that nato members to ratify finland's accession . as the vote was repeated, the delayed only turkey remains. anger has announced its intention to vote on finland's bid. soon. a german chancellor last shot says that germany has that delivered on each pledge to provide ukraine with 18 leopard to battle tanks along a way to german manufactured vehicles were fortunately handed over to ukrainian forces. the countries border. the delivery marks a major shift in cranes, a battlefield capability, and fulfills a long standing german promise. to how big

a deal is this delivery is our correspondent, nick con, late in the front line and the crating city of commer 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 because it was where of the tax, it was a joke. but it was meant with a lot of seriousness and concern 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 to move forward. they need tanks. so this is a massive, massive development. i think conway, incoming torque mount montgomery is a retired u. s. navy rear admiral and serves the senior director of the center of cyber and technology innovation at the foundation for the best defense of democracies. i asked him about the sort of difference 18 leopard twos with me. well 1st thank you

for having me and as you're a reporter to it's going to make a significant difference. the tax will be part, i think of an overall grouping of $88.00 of $100.00 tanks that come from germany. poland, sweden, finland, norway, spain, portugal in canada. 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 battle field. 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 these heavy weapons also puts pressure on ukraine

from its west and allies. if these don't help you push the rock russians back, then maybe you, you need to sit down and sue for peace. well, i think these are part of a bra, 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 goes on the high mars lodgers, 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 text with both ago 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 cuz you're absolutely right. they took heavy losses. now they weren't their losses were a mixture. they weren't necessarily off front line troops, but their losses were among the wagner group. so, you know, 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. so there's gotta 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 ukrainian offensive is gonna 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 and makes it less likely that the better was stand, ukrainian pushes. good talking to us, very clear. thanks so much for joining us. mart, montgomery. and no washington is fighting in the east of ukraine means casualties on both sides have been mounting a cave doesn't disclose its losses. but u. s. officials estimate more than a 100000 ukrainians have been killed or injured in this war, and make shift graveyards, have been marked out to bury the dead fellow to be there. a shanker was just 20

when he died. oh, late the butter. 26. bow down, plesco was 21. they all thought for that country at this graveyard in hockey eve, there are hundreds of soldiers graves. i've reach one flies, ukrainian flag. it sits in the price is so high. do you see how many of our soldiers have fallen in this war? i hope the sacrifice is not in vain. your ship cinnapool on the dam in ukraine during lent relatives bring bread and sweets to the graves for the dead. it ran or is here with her son. her husband. it was a boy to god. good, glad though he's good at all. it looks you couldn't bear us so many graveyards, everywhere in ukraine. this is awful, as it is a philosophy, it is time to end this war. but as it would felt,

there are just too many ukrainian victims small. so green is the next group of mourners is already waiting for a 26 year old who was killed in blackwood. now that i've had states where at least 3 children and 3 adults have been killed in a school shooting. and the city of nashville, a female suspect, entered the school, carrying at least 2 semi automatic rifles and a pistol. authority say she was engaged as she was killed after being engaged by police. every parents, worst nightmare. these children will at least be reunited with their families. the same cannot be said for the victims of america's latest school shooting. the shooter has been identified as a 28 year old woman. although authorities originally thought that she was in her

teens. when the officers got to the 2nd level, they saw a shooter, a female, who was firing. the officers engaged her. she was fatally shot by responding police officers. she was reportedly wielding to assault rifles and a pistol. the killings commerce communities across the u. s. are reeling from several acts of school violence, according to data on gun violence. this is the 100 and 29th mass shooting in the u . s. in 2023 alone. president joe biden called for gun reform. we have to do more to stop crime violence. it's written, our communities are poor. repeat a soul, this nation repeats a very so lucian and we, we have to do more to protect her schools are turned into prisons. any attempts to pass gun control legislation face and uphill battle. congress is divided and the

republican controlled house has shown little interest in gun control legislation. i asked our correspondent, catalina, cham boy in washington. what was known of the victims while so developing, sorry, so we're still waiting for more information as the investigation begins. we know they are, as you mentioned, 3 children and 3 adults of victims. we don't know who they are. we don't know how old they are, but we're talking about a school with 3 to 12 years old. and we don't know if the 3 adult victims are teachers or administrators of the school. we do know that the shooter was killed by the police, as you mentioned as. so we're talking about 7 total people dead so far. and what is being said about a motive of this female shooter? well, we know that they are investigating also the f

b i is involved. we do know that the shooter was female. as you just mentioned, she was 28 years old and she was heavily armed. she had to assault rifles, a tool, a k 47, and a hand gun m. as a 20 year old. it's of course even easier to buy a gun in this country. but we still don't know how she acquired the weapons. she was a student at that school. and we know that, but it is not clear yet what her motives where. right so heartbreaking your tongue . according to the, the white house calling on congress to step up gun control efforts. tell us more about the political reaction. exactly, joe biden. just at resignation. a couple of minutes ago, i am the president of the united states and he said this is to seek a number of people who will not make it and among them children. and he also said that we have to do more to protect our schools. are people in this country are of

course shocked to we're talking again about a mass shooting in a school. i'm the president press secretaries said a couple of minutes ago that bite at once congress to pass a gun legislation. and this is a gun culture we're living in, so that is also what the said, senator haiti campbell from that area said, and people want to stop this, especially democrats in congress. thank you so much. i think the correspondent carleen that you more the 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 for decades. transport workers from germany to biggest unions of walked off the job in a cool, higher wages to counter the cost of living crisis. inflation rates in germany have been above the eurozone average in recent months. there is not a train in sight during rush hour at berlin's main station on monday

and frank fairport. germany's top hub 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, likelihood 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 are going to show our solidarity with our bargaining committee. who are negotiated 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 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. and isn't what's holding on to millions of nurses 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. the on boat on strictly modules

salary negotiations will continue between transport workers in their employers who eager to get all forms of travel back on track. as soon as possible. a couple more stories from around the world. at least 6 people are dead after suicide. the bummer struck near the foreign ministry in the afghan capital cobble. it's a 2nd such attack this year. no group has claimed responsibility. militant groups affiliated with the so called islamic state of increase their attack since the taliban took over. in 2021. policing, can you have use t, a gasoline, water cannon against opposition protestors. angry about the rising cost of living crowds to to the streets. the capital nairobi a defending a ban on demons. a fine, a ban on demonstrations. your position has a court for renewed protests on thursday and in sport, the international olympic committees board will meet this week to discuss the

participation of russian and belushi and athletes. the osi currently recommends allowing them to compete under a neutral flag. but some ukrainian athletes are getting ready to cross the sword with electric officials over the issue then 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 ally beller, roost leaves the ukrainian 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 to have 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 paris 2024 olympics. the helene there's a ac, is that we know that this world in general is not very fear. but this decision outrages us on saturday protestors raised their voices outside the i o. c. headquarters in lawson, i oh see president thomas by says nor 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 please fencers, o 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, which ukraine has threatened the boy caught of the piracy olympics 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 would see says any such moose would be against its charter is reminder of our top story, our best, our israel's prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has delayed plans for judicial reform until the next parliamentary session in a televised address. he said he was postponing the controversial changes with our time to achieve a broad consensus. his announcement follows a general strike on massive and widespread protests across the country. i stay with us, so i'll be back in just a moment to take you through the big news stories are of the day in the day, including of course that that big change in israel that's coming up in just ah
