france with a fresh wave of anger against president emmanuel microns pension and retirement reform plants. hundreds of thousands joined to traditional made a demonstrations to day to condemn the plans which would see the minimum retirement age raised by 2 years to the age of $64.00. the country's interior minister says that more than a 100 police officers were injured in clashes with protesters nationwide. clashes with police smashed windows. paris is once again alight as angry people protest unpopular plans to pitch the minimum retirement age to $64.00. those marching here, see this is a made a call from workers' rights up. we don't want to die working. we want to live and see our children and grandchildren grow up and enjoy it because we'll have worked all our lives. so see, i'm retired and i'm disgusted. i went there doing that,

he saw on that young people. it's of, it's very important for us to be here because we are, it's our generation that with the, for the consequences of this policy, hundreds of thousands turned out across the country. much of the frustration here is directed towards president emanuel macro. um, he says the reform is needed to keep the pension system financially viable. but the french leaders approval ratings have plummeted. and base analyst says there's only one winner here, but it's only ela, pearl is okay, looking at opinion pulls and foot protection. so this all tends to benefit populist, extreme right for it is a lot like the national relief because they symbolize anger towards an animal mac home. i call them there has never been such a swift drop in a french president's popularity and us. okay. and that's what's problematic, it was because he has 4 years left in power until be complicated for him to best and he knew for myself as a doing well, i found the pension law is now moving ahead and some think this made

a mobilization is the movements last gasp, after multiple nationwide strikes. but these parisians say they'll keep up the pressure. and the fall out from this political battle may be felt for years to come . and all were rosie birch are g, as in paris force denied rosie. let's talk about what's happening there. right now, it's been a day where we saw a big turnout, which the trade unions had called for. the square behind me is where this protest all began. and you can see there is a statue in the middle of that square. and protesters have decked it out with a t shirt which says the words, a mac hall damage. sure, that means macros resign. and that was the message from many of the people who turned out to march, who i spoke to today. some of them trade union members who are unhappy with the content of this pension reform law and with the way that it was passed. but of

course some of those who turned out did also end up clashing with police. and there was a descent into violence in some parts of the city and in some parts of france know, we know, according to the interior of industry, that over more than 200 people have been detained. more than a 100 police officers have been injured and the french prime minister has slammed on violence on the side lays of these made a protest as unacceptable rosie on today may 1st may day is a traditional day of workers protest across much of europe in around much of the world is today's turn out, we're talking about numbers here is it's significantly bigger. well, according to the police here in paris, there was more than a 100000 people. if you ask the trade unions, they say it was more like 500000, but certainly from what i witnessed the streets were fool, i could see demonstrators in all directions. that of course, usually may day a sort of celebration of workers' rights, but it wasn't so much of

a festive mood here to day. instead, there was a lot of frustration and baker political questions looming over the whole affair. on the one hand, will this be the last of this news that we've seen? lots of strikes already across the nation. that's not protest. her say they say they'll keep turning out. and secondly, well, what's the longer term, political ramifications of all this resentment for french president micron who remains in office, but who as we heard, whose popularity ratings have plummeted in one political analysts who he spoke to describe this to me really as note 8 political impasse in france, yeah, it's looking like a political impacts in which you have to keep in mind that president micron he doesn't have to run for reelection. he's in his 2nd and final term, but he's got another what? 4 years it has, he used up all of his political capital on this morning that issue of mean? will he be able to relieve the country and govern for the next 4 years?

well listen, i was here in paris when french president macro won his 2nd term and he did advertise. this is one of his missions to reform this labyrinthine pension system. but of course, it has proved entirely unpopular and we've seen calls for his resignation. one protesters said to me, he simply harrigan and selfish, and he doesn't listen to any one. of course, those are allegations, he rejects micron, says these reforms are absolutely needed. francis population is aging. and of course, there are other countries in europe where the pension age is already higher than 64, the age which the pension of retirement will be raised to here in france, i spoke to one protester who said, well, we simply don't care what it's like in other countries we want our rights to be maintained here, that women who we heard from you said we want to be able to see our grandchildren and grow old and to be able to live more. so what it looks like here is really, i kind of fractured social contractor, at least that's what we're hearing from the demonstrators,

but it certainly will make for a tricky time ahead for president micron. is rosie burton with the latest and i from paris, mostly. thank you. russia has fired another barrage of missiles targeting cities across ukraine. keeps shows that it's air defense is shut down most of the incoming missiles birds, at least 34 people. it says were injured. the strikes come as ukraine prepared to watch a counter offensive to recapture territory seized by russian forces. this eastern jacqueline in city of pablo here, arg was struck twice by russian. miss itis overnight and it strikes destroyed dozens of private houses and is parked a mess of fire. listen to the speech. when i saw another spark, i thought we should get out of the house. we were in the hallway putting on our

shoes when both doors were smashed by the explosions. then there was a fire. i ran outside and saw that the grass was destroyed. everything was on fire glass shots everywhere. had we been outside, we would have been killed university, not one, not move you offish and see dozens, including children for wounded and recent attacks. many residents are still frightened. we took a risk that you got it or we rushed in the hallway and lay on the floor, the gravel now and then the explosion waved, twisted the door itself door. we would have been trapped here if we stayed for 5 more seconds. then there were more explosion, ways. i don't know what happened to the door, but it wasn't easy to get inside the room. we did not sleep at night and in the morning, my child will need psychological help. it's harder. in the morning air

defense dress or fire lit up. these guys over give, what did you get in? in military said it, shut down 15 of the 18 cruise missiles fired across the country. it's the latest wave of russian air strikes and many places far from the front lines are being targeted across ukraine. ok, we want to go now to a very only connolly he is in keith. he has more details about these russian attacks. well, as he mentioned that no casualties in here, but certainly a lot more activity. why did yoga fi than just keep well than 30 people wounded in the east? the country near the steve ne pro, it's believed they live near an industrial facility, and that this was kind of collateral damage,

people suffering from smoking relation and also from the explosion windows being blown out of their frames. that was and more recently, in recent hours we've heard more detail about other attacks, other missiles in the west, the country, there's a tome, it will say we need ski. so it does seem like there is some kind of logic behind these attacks, but it just suddenly comes as a shock off to basically the best part of 2 months without a tax, beyond the front lines and people here keep now very coach the fact that those arid warnings are very serious indeed only they are reporting from ukraine or russia's crackdown on opponents of the worried ukraine has been well documented. but lately the kremlin had stepped up its efforts to stifle criticism, leading to what some were calling the widest campaign of repression. since the soviet union research targets have included people like elisia, chris stoba, a university student who was put under house arrest for anti war post on social media. but her luck has just improved

out of her shackles. and on the run, alyssa crypt silva gets goose bumps when she thinks back to the moment she freed herself from house arrest and fled from russia to europe. and boost as if it, if a right before i escaped, i was afraid because stupid thoughts kept coming into my head. like what if this doesn't work and a rest me would i have to run for miles through the forest killing yet. but she succeeded. alyssa was able to enter the e u to lithuania. she knows if her escape attempt had failed. she would likely be in prison by now. alyssa had been waiting under house arrest for the courts. verdict. the charges was serious, discrediting the russian army, and justifying terrorism. her crimes handing out anti war flyers

and condemning the war in ukraine in a private chat with her fellow university students my or what it was. so that was my protest with the dog. i chose the most harmless methods for it. well, at least that's what i thought. i don't agree with vladimir putin regime which instigated this war against ukrainians who are like brothers to us. radical latham at old alyssa is one of the almost 20000 russians who have been punished for their anti war stance. the most prominent among them is opposition leader vladimir kara morsa, who strongly criticized putin and publicly denounced the war in ukraine. another russian was sentenced to 2 years in prison because his daughter drew an

anti war picture like alyssa, he also tried to flee russia. but he was caught and arrested a careless joke or critical post is all it takes to get a knock on the door from the secret service, the fs, b, and possibly end up behind bars. the russian parliament has also tightened a law to make it more difficult for young men to avoid being conscripted. it's made it trickier to leave the country like l. yes it did. she believes repression in russia will get even worse because the kremlin fears its own citizens. where's his appeal at that? what if all the young women who were against a war had taken to the streets and gone to the kremlin? yeah, it's clear that people must be intimidated because of this pretty class and grow and that suits to russian regime very well at the moment. at his credit in la

aliases, dream is to become a journalist in another free or russia perhaps that wouldn't have to remain a dream. or earlier i spoke with vladimir, a sure called a russian opposition. politician who was currently living in london. he is the executive director of the anti corruption foundation. that's an india that was founded by the imprisoned russian opposition leader alexi. nev all i asked him is descent dead in potions, russia, since the start of this brutal aggression of russia gets to crane and number of repressive laws has been put in place by russian government that make it very dangerous for people to criticize the war that russia has unleashed the protests that happened over the 1st weeks of invasion have faded out and now we see

ridiculous ridiculous verdicts and people. busy can get fines or even jails for on to or post on social media or just for going out to the streets with blank sheets of paper that was by them. you're sure they're speaking with earlier. with the european union has struck a deal to resume the importance of ukrainian agricultural products you states bordering. ukraine had been torn between helping their neighbor as well as protecting their own farmers, leading some of them to introduce import bands. the you hope to keep the grain trucks from ukraine on the go and europe, united ukraine had long been a big agricultural exporter. but russia's invasion changed that with its black see ports partly blocked. ukraine got their products to market,

surround the world overland through europe, and the e. u wave tariffs on ukrainian goods to help but farmers in eastern europe complained that they were being left with mountains of unsold produce and that the availability of cheaper ukrainian grains damage to bad business. poland normally a staunch ally of ukraine, even bond imports unilaterally leaving long lines of ukrainian trucks stuck at the border. in april, you cranes foreign ministry called the restrictions on its grain exports via the e. you quote, categorically, unacceptable. the agreement aims to let ukrainian agricultural products travel through the e u, but allow poland, romania, bulgaria, slovakia,

and hungary to impose internal temporary restrictions on some grain. plus it gives the option to restrict more produce and future. at the same time, it lets ukrainian goods into the you without tariffs for another year, mr. to those success when you, i think this is a success for the european union. but it was possible to reach a compromise solution and get out of this crisis which seemed to be potentially dangerous economically and also politically the issue that compromise solution. may he get the trucks leaving again and e. u leaders hope it will maintain the image of the year at united in its support full ukraine. or here is a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . us regulators over the weekend took control of the trouble,

the 1st republic bank, and then sold it to j. p. morgan chase 1st republic. it had assets worth about $230000000000.00. it had more than a $100000000000.00 in deposits. it is the 2nd largest retail bank to collapse in u. s. history e gene carol has returned to the witness stand in her rape case against former u. s. president donald trump, the trial resumed after the judge denied a request by trump's lawyer for a miss trial due to the judges alleged bias. mr. trump is accused of raping miss carol in a department store dressing room back in 1096. or gary is chief prosecutor, had survived an assassination attempt unharmed. officials say that his convoy was in route to sophia when a bomb exploded by the side of the road. protesters of accused him of failing to tackle corruption. they've called for his resignation. the united nations

top official, as you, dan says that the countries warring generals have agreed to send representatives to what could be potential negotiations. folk or parentis says that the talks could be held in saudi arabia, and that they would focus 1st on establishing a durable truce. clashes are still being reported in the capital cartoon, despite an agreement between rival military forces to extend a ceasefire. the united nation says that the violence is turning a humanitarian crisis into a full blown catastrophe. 8 tons of medical supplies, enough to treat over a 1000 injured people. i hope this will be only the 1st of a number of vouchers that will come. we'll be extremely crucial for the hospital to the hospitals to be able to caper for the needs of thousands of people that are flocking to their doors and waiting to get medical assistance. but the conflict

shows no sign of easing. shortly after the warring parties agreed to 72, our truce violence broke out again in the capital harton. while foreign governments are scrambling to evacuate their nationals, thousands of sudanese are seeking refuge in neighboring countries. but many have no choice but to hide in their homes. amid rapidly deteriorating conditions, we hear the sounds of artillery it can fall in the street in front all the one behind the human ear shall we have to sleep on the floor. there is no water, electricity, there is no food. my theme. why murphy bahama. in addition to food shortages and yos, war and that sedans health care system is on the brink of collapse or nike for all li, i'll get many working and trained minds in the health care sector are fleeing sudan

to my because there is a withdrawal of many engineers and non ingenious due to direct attacks. by all means it's a disaster leg, a much more basher either abilene fiarty in one of them or even before the fighting of octed a 3rd of should a nice were dependent on some form of humanitarian assistance. now fears are growing that a prolonged conflict could spread to the broader region. it has suffered multiple conflict in the past decade and climate change has left its deadly mark as well. with severe drought and one of the world's worst food insecurity, crisis has to concede, move deeper into crisis. sudanese people have brought a calling for international action to end the violence of a more. now i'm joined by the student, researcher and analyst eric reeds, mr. reeds it's good to have you with these possible mediation talks,

possibly in saudi arabia, that could be taking place. what chances of success do you give them very low. i think it's almost impossible to imagine general a burn and a mattie, the leader of the rabbit sport forces meeting or even agreeing on a setting for talks, a setting meeting, not just a country, but the terms under which negotiations would take place. both men. it seems to me are in this fight to the end in to the end of, of what the, the, the entire country and the civilian population that we know that many sudanese, there are fleeing to neighboring countries such as chad, i mean are these neighbors and i'm thinking of eritrea, ethiopia, south sudan, can they cope with, you know, the arrivals of refugees?

not really. chad in particular, already has almost $400000.00 for a refugee overwhelmingly, for the non air tribes are for the disintegration of cartoon. and that may be what we're witnessing would allow a country which is always had a center periphery dynamic. there's been very, very hard on the peripheral regions, like the core defense like dar for like eastern sudan, if the center can't hold, the peripheries will drift into extraordinary violence. i believe in what makes this even more tragic is that we know sudan is rich and natural resources go diamonds. i mean it, it has what it takes to be a prosperous country. instead, it's looking more and more like a failed state. fertile ground for a civil war, even maybe a proxy war. how do you see the future?

the proxy war scenarios all to plausible. i think is important to note that there is a tremendous amount of arable land in sudan. it could easily be the bread basket of north eastern africa. and yet, under the alba, sheer regime, the agricultural sector was allowed just to almost disintegrate. and this is one of the reasons and imports a great deal of food. one of the reasons malnutrition is so very, very high throughout the country. and if we do not get humanitarian access with very large convoys of food and medicine, we're going to see tens of thousands of people die primarily children in the coming months. and do you think, i mean, before we run out of time, do you think that the international community has what it will take to do,

just that to get that humanitarian aid there? that remains to be seen. we've gotten some medicine from port sudan to on his way to cartoon, but we need a much, much more robust access and seems likely in the near term. there are rapid support forces checkpoints all along the main road from port sudan on the red sea to cartoon, a distance of some 850 kilometers. very, very dangerous. and we've already seen 3 world food program workers killed that brought an end to world food program efforts. it from a humanitarian standpoint. i think that's really the most important one. we should be looking at right now. men to some out go very, very wrong in very near term mysteries. we appreciate your time and your valuable

insights tonight on unfortunately what is a, a story that to be going from bad to worse. thank you coming up next. the program global 3000. i will be back at the top of the hour with more bold news followed by the day. i have to say either choose with
