very, very, so you more about love release story in for my reliable news, how my grants, wherever they may be. oh d, w, news line from berlin. no end in sight of public anger over a french president, my calls pension reforms. a 10th day of mass protest descends into clashes between police and protesters in paris with french unions. calling for another round of strength and demonstrations on april the 6th,

also on the program. the w as in eastern ukraine to hear how newly delivered western battle tanks could make a difference in the fight against russia. waged until now with vehicles from the soviet era. plus mexican authority, say a deadly blaze at a migration detention center was caused by migrant starting the fire themselves to protest plans to the fort them. ah, i'm really good. happy with us. hundreds of thousands of people in france have taken part in fresh protests and strikes against pension reforms. it's the 10th day of nationwide actions since mid january, almost demonstrated peacefully, there were clashes with police and several major cities. for the rent money on my car has refused to back down on his decision to increase the retirement age to 64.

nearly 2 weeks after president macaroni pushed the changes through parliament, public fury shows no sign of abating. 740000 people, marched across the country. on tuesday the government said, in the western city of not the barricades burned, it's we who work. it's we who decide reach the banner. oh! in the south, thousands marched on the old port of marsey. while in paris, protesters marched through the city center led by the unions. ah, everyone hates the police. they chanted for the march remained relatively peaceful but elsewhere and the capital violence interrupted between black clouds protesters and right police reacted to stones and projectiles. with tear gas protestors

dismissed criticism at the french retirement age is one of the world's lowest. it's not because it's worse in other countries. zed 3 should do the same because we know that term that the they're working on. the new conditions in this countries are all full for people that are something bore rich, an age or as it should be to should have the right to rest. and after work to fridge. herbs, in a very, for her social conditions was very little rights. and her with the one that is in france so much for the workers who worked with their arms and their position and where so it was the other countries they must fight. as we fight, striking parisian railway workers echoed to that sentiment. ah, you will console me. i want to turn out to best years of her time and enter the worst 2 years of out working lives. were all going to be broken?

i guess in the increasing tendency towards violence prompted the deployment of $13000.00 officers, according to interior minister, she held darma. but the simmering outrage does not seem to have dissuaded my crawl from pushing through his changes. the president was given a boost by the decision of parisians. sanitation workers to return to work after the 3 weeks strike, perhaps of saying that the protests could burden themselves out. so a 10th day of nationwide protests against the pension reforms, dw lisa lewis in paris told me how this one compared to previous protests while when you look at the number of protesters and that number has gone and gone down slightly from the record day last week, there were between 70000222 1000000 people out in the streets across france compared to last week's 1500000 up to a 3000000. these figures obviously coming from the police or the unions also not

the number of people taking part and sector strikes himself gone down. but mind you, as he said, this movement does not seem to be over just yet because they are still hundreds of thousands of people on the streets demonstrating. whereas as you set the, the reform has already gone through parliament. the government pushed the reform through and up next, legally speaking is the, the decision by the constitutional counsel to see if the reformers, constitutional indeed. so people seem to be waiting, at least for that. and the french prime minister has now invited union leaders to discuss this pension reform, which has already been pushed through parliament. you said that there. so what could a solution look like? well, that was obviously quite surprising because the french prime minister, the government has not talked to the union for about 2 and a half months. the unions were asking for that for a talk, but the government didn't want to, didn't seem to want to talk to them. now they're saying the units are saying,

we're going to go there. we're going to talk to the government. but at what we want to speak with about is really this pension reform. we want the government to drop the reform. however, the government seems not really willing to do so. they are talking about, you know, taking things forward when it comes to work relations to other things, other reforms. and if that's the case, if the government does not really move, when it comes to the pension reform this, this round of discussions, it will not provide any tangible result. and the units have already said that they would keep on demonstrating afterwards. yeah. months of protests, now, what effect are they having on life and friends on your day to day life? we don't have much, much time, but i do want to ask you this. well, as you know, a waste collectors have been striking in paris. so, and waste is piling up on the earth sidewalks in certain areas of paris. however, they've now interrupted their strike. so that will be collected in the coming days . but they're saying that they could go on strike later on. again. there's also

some disruption in the transport sector when you take the train, your train might be canceled. and when it comes to the refinery, some refineries are being blocked and you know, a certain fuel stations are running out of fuel. so, you know, there is still a certain amount of disruption and daily daily life. here in france. italy is lisa lewis. joining us this morning from paris. thank you. moving on to ukraine now, where president vomiting re zalinski says he's ready to meet china's president. changing ping lensky was speaking to the a p. news agency and said he'd extended an invitation to the chinese leader. the 2 men haven't spoken since russia invaded ukraine more than a year ago, but she visited moscow last week on what he called a peace mission, to landscape comments come after ukraine took delivery of western battle tanks from germany and the u. k. are expected to beef up, it's armored fire power for a potential spring offensive. crane in defense minister alexi resident cough was

seen riding in a british challenger to battle tank while german made leopard 2 tanks were also delivered. now before the long awaited vehicles arrived, ukraine had to rely on soviet made tanks. our correspondent maximum, at some of the crew, was keeping them running and eastern ukraine. these men, or farmers from the south. now they belong to the most feared units of the battlefield. the soviet europe t 80 takes 3 men to operate at 40 tons and driven at speeds of up to 80 kilometers an hour. gunner basil says the tanks scare of the enemy. hello. i will tell you this as soon as they see from the drones how the tanks are coming, then all the artillery is only aimed at us. they forget about the infantry about everything, so they're afraid. but the tanks need a lot of attention. this one is more than a decade older than the mechanic yoda's and it shows the actual really k through.

if the tank is on really uneven, groaned, it's often this part of the tracks that breaks and needs to be replaced every now and again. we also have to tighten the tracks missional. let jessica also missy. these tanks maybe old and worn down. why? but they're easy to repair. if the men can get the spare parts, they often find them on the battlefield. on martha up to a think it wouldn't mushy. yes, many russian parts fit our vehicles just. we often dismantle rushing tanks for spare parts in the undercarriage is suitable to what? and often we find parts suitable for the engine blows up to syndicate with it. more than i'm in it at the start of the war, the ukrainian seem to be facing a superior tank force. but the russians deployed those tanks often in a very risky way without adequate protection from infantry or fighting vehicles. the ukrainians were able to take out and capture close to 2000 of those tanks. but

they're saying now if they are to have a chance of taking back territory, they would need a significant upgrade themselves. the men here are waiting for better tanks to arrive from friendly countries, no one in suffolk, from an out and share and this is the new ones are more maneuverable. they have other equipment of the thermal sites range finders in ramirez have say in check. the crew is more protected than the ammunition capsule is placed at the back. near incubation exists shoshone gop slashed inside, yet when they shoot, the capsule flies out. but we don't cancel how many times more proposed moments in our old tanks. we're sitting on a powder keg. her and i was clean for 2nd. ah. what he's actually sitting on is this all the tank. so minutia that can go horribly

wrong when an old tank like this takes of direct tanks are seen as the key to a successful ukrainian counterfeits. the moral tanks that are destroyed, the greater the appetite for knew better once. and let's have a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world to day. beijing has threatened to retaliate against taiwan as president, sighing when heads to the u. s. she's expected to meet with you as how speaker kevin mccarthy on her way back from visiting taiwan central american allies. the china has warned washington against allowing the meeting to take place which was seen. and josh, israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected you as president joe biden's call to abandon his plan judicial overhaul island had urged the prime minister to quote, walk away from the plans after he paused them on monday, following weeks of protest. me on mars military government
