are thousands after the legislation was passed by the commission, police arrested several dozen people across israel or the vote followed months of demonstrations by his release or say, the reforms undermined the nations democracy. the government says the changes are necessary to correct and in balance of power that allows courts to interfere in its decisions. one of the nice turbulent moments in israel, 75 year history soundtracks by chance of boucher the hebrew word for shame from opposition, policies. the legislation that divided a nation ultimately pos may 64 votes in favor. i'm saying that a guides with opposition parties will come out to the commit set and board gotten the right talk in the last pitch efforts to secure the compromise by the countries president ended without success. the coalition government size, the changes are necessary to prevent overreach by the quote's uninsured remote

equal power balance. inside the connect set, the coalition celebrated with the group hugs and sell fees. getting the size of the police upside used towards that kind of and deployed offices on horseback to dispatch to demonstrate as it was described as a day of destruction. the 10 pulled by opposition leader. yeah, yeah, a lot, pete. this scream, government is hugging and posing to celebrate the moment they made it so that we are no longer brotherly people. celebrating the moment they managed to throw into the dustbin of history. everything that connects us. so there is no prime minister . and israel netanyahu's become a puppet on a string of mussel janik extremists. since the draft legislation was introduced in january, it is divided is violent and triggered. one of the largest protest movements in the country's history for 29 consecutive weeks,

tens of thousands of his varieties took to the streets of tel aviv and other cities . many came to demonstrate against the plans changes by netanyahu and his coalition . they argued, did you do so over the whole, the undermined democracy underneath checks and balances. we're here to protect our democracy. we were left with no choice but to go to and disobedience and, and non violent disobedience. and we're here to protect our democracy, right, by the hour, by year after the vote, the prime minister said he had not given up on the idea of compromise. i only today, we counted doubts unnecessary democratic step by step was aimed at restoring the degree of bonds between the authorities, which was the case 50 years ago. and we will continue to strive to negotiations and reach agreements. we are not giving up the chance to achieve a broad consensus of i'm telling you it's possible. so they actually, however, his words are likely to be met to skepticism by his opponents throughout,

already considering the next move. the w. jerusalem correspond to tony kramer told us more about why the new law is so controversial. well, this is part of the traditional overall package. so this is just one law or you could say that has been passed. know of what the far right village is. government has been trying to push for and to pass since it came into power since december last year. now this particular low strips, basically the supreme court of its ability to stripe down government decisions on the basis of them being reasonable. so if there is a decision by the government deems implausible or unreasonable, it could in the past strike it down. this is not possible any more. and now we are expecting. now, of course the government. now the committed session will go into recess in the next

week, and we're expecting a, the government not to policy the next packages or the next bills than in the next session of the government. but there could be also some other laws that are being pos, not related to the traditional overall. now that this or has been paused. hubs, a prime minister benjamin netanyahu was saying last night of to the vote that it takes know the power away from the unelected quotes to the elected officials. and that this is not the end of democracy. but of course, protest is in the streets of the opponents of this tradition oversight. this is the beginning of the end of democracy. there were mass demonstrations again, overnight are these protests and is real against the judicial reform expected to continue whether it has been a lot of, you know, anger, sadness, and defiance industry. it's last night. i talked to some of the protesters, you know, that came from all walks of life and scientists to teaches to military reserve is

they say, no, they do not have any trust in this government. and they set, you know, they will continue also from the protest movement, the set of to prime into smith to knows to, she's open to 2 more talks on a compromise that said there's nothing to talk about. and so it seems that you know, the protest will continue, resort last night, be sold all day basically protest this came out from the early morning. there were trying to block a junctions and streets and entrances to the is really part him into the connected and latest night, of course, there were still in the streets in the early morning we saw a lot of a police presence. both the canons being used to police on horseback also. so the protest this no let up in this yes, the attorney of this law has now been passed is crucial. part of the reform bill has been passed given that what can opponents still do to stop judicial reform

while we're expecting now, the opposition has said there will now take the meta actually to the supreme court for to do sure. a review of this, a golf and then vote. and this is actually the same chord that has been limited by this new role and talking to legal experts here. this could lead to basically you to a constitutional crisis if the government then would, according, depending on what the court decides with then decide maybe not to comply. others what are the measures that we will see is probably stepping up the protests. we also heard from labor unions that are usually more conservative here in as well as saying that there was threatening with a genuine stripe. the medical has associations have already announced a 24 hour strive today. and also the country looked at, you know,

the military reserve is that have said, many of them have already said that they will actually, you know, not report for duty, which would then be a huge problem for as low security telling you. thank you very much. i corresponding tony kramer in jerusalem now to greece for the prime minister says his country is at war with raging wild fires. prime minister curios, mr. talk has told parliament the nation faced another 3 difficult days ahead. dozens, wildfire as a continuing to burn in greece, prompting some of the largest evacuations, innovations history, the islands of roads and corps who have been among the worst effected there is a defense badger against an approaching vice pile. residents of the creek island fluids that hopefully the body are to be protected homes from the please. but for the residents side is already as the doorstep. lopez had happened,

beckoning to dollars, the flames. the 5 front is so wide apart. these are stretched to the limit forcing one and d as in lucas to fight the themes on data one for this group, if the drop of water collected is invited we are here the last 6 days to help in every way we can, but it's very difficult the wind is very high today, it will be worst wednesday. it's very, very, but the fires in georgia and other islands have left a stream of devastation. greece has been dealing with thousands of new why fi us every day? and the government thinks that it would be no despite soon email me. it's certain that over the next few days, over the next few weeks, we must all remain on constant alert. excuse me,

said ford. we are at war focused exclusively on the front with the fire switch. yes . that's enough that we will rebuild all that was last, compensate those that were stricken because the region 5 kept prompted. some of the largest evacuations ever speech in the country. how long i never thought i'd be called into my life. uh, is this someone's gonna end up dying service like that? there are thousands of people still out there. this is young kids. so the people the islands on fire, stick up. know where to go is no food, no, uh, and the just price has been abundant and many local fee the same we. it's a catastrophe that have destroyed everything the own our correspond at lucy, a shorten is on the greek island, of course, who were fires have also been raging and the past few days. lucien, what's the situation there on coffee this morning?

so it's hard to say the situation is under control, but as you might be able to see behind me, it is quite impressed if there's a lot of smoke, just a big fires in the woods here in the mountains and call food. so even though it's under control, that means that it's not threatening. how is this a lie to you? is it is still ongoing and it's still not completely been put out. so the situation is, it's still an ongoing situation. there's still some tension but firefighters. i've also been saying this morning that there was not a lot of in that that they have twins, confident that they might be able to stop the fire here 2 days. greece has been battling wildfires for over a week. there are multiple fires around the country. how are things elsewhere in grades? yeah, i just talked to a tourist guide a n road and he said that the situation there is also coming down a little bit. he said that they would only be one front left,

which is really was huge progress to what has happened before. and he also said that there's also not a lot of it. and so there is a little glimpse of hope that there would be able to stop the fires today, but overall it is still at as prime. and as the mr. taca said, they're still add more. every bonus on high alert of firefighters has been working for 24 hours. and i'm sorry my life. she has just excuse me. so i'm sorry. i hope you can see me again. so yeah, dissertation is still a high pressure situation and everyone is working on, on the top of their limits. so the weather of course is always a factor in wildfire situations. what's the forecast for the coming days? so it is supposed to still be a hot for a little while, but it will get better on thursday. this is the temperature pool of costs. so it is

not yet quite clear. it's a situation to get better of launch the temperature lowest down, which is for said to be on thursday of the. so that was our correspondent lucio shows in there and car food. i'm afraid we have had some technical issues with that talk. well, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. extreme heat and high winds are fueling deadly wildfires, and parts of north africa. l jerry is government says at least 34 people have been killed since fires began their several days ago. across the border in tunisia, hundreds have been evacuated as far as buyers endangered populated areas. at least 15 people believed to be migrants of died after a boat capsized off the coast of southern goals. capital duct are police and rescue workers are continuing their search for bodies. this summer has seen a surge of migrant votes trying to make the perilous crossing from west africa to spain's canarios. at a swedish course is found climate activists,

aggressive tuned bird guilty of disobeying a police order during a protest. last month, she was sentenced to pay a fine equivalent to 217 year olds. soon back argued her actions were justified in the face of the climate crisis. this a fire is blaze to through a temple in northwestern china, destroying most of the complex footage shared on social media shows the statute of the shunt on great booted temple reads in flames. though injuries have been reported and authorities say they are investigating the cause of the par united nations nuclear watch, though, the i a, a says it has a pound landlines. ukraine's operation a power plant, the sites which is your ups largest their, their power plant is occupied by russian forces. on sunday, experts from the international atomic energy agency found mines in

a buffer zone between the internal and external boundary. they said any destination should not affect nuclear safety, but fit and security. but the watched osborne, the laying explosives reached its safety standards and created additional psychological pressure on styles are corresponding that connelly told us more about security situation around this operation. nuclear power plant of the, of these minds i talking about on the permits of they say, even if they was designated, it wouldn't necessarily cause a danger new for instance. but there's no sense that this report is in any way conclusive. those monitors on not free to move around the pop punk, they have to ask permission of the restaurants, find forces that sometimes they wait weeks and they don't give him that permission . for instance, they haven't had access to the roof rack to them a 3 and 4 where you create in security services, say at the russians have installed what look like explosive devices. so they can spend weeks unsuccessfully asking for that permission is also suggestion from alice

. here in key if that basically the russians are playing a game of cat and mouse that they maybe install minds or other kinds of weapon systems and then take them away just for the time that the inspectors all that. so there is a real sense that even though these infections all going on, even though those what folks are trying to keep out of the country to game and demonstrate tool sites that they are outside the politics. there is no sense that we have a real, kind of clear, $360.00 degree image picture of what's going on. now the russian installed operators of the nuclear plants have announced that one of the reactors there is going from cold to hot shut down. what does that mean, nick? for the safety situation a while the ukrainian a nuclear power company has cooled. this outset, this is against who the rules, all the kind of protocols for safety, the rest of the professional forces that on the ground say this is to provide a steam bridge or i'd energy for the pounds because the other,

the last remaining wreck that had been on so called for shut down is now being turned off as it was. i think the important thing to realize here that this is a very difficult situation, right? things tracing on. we have station where water in the reservoir of the gulf covers walk is basically coming lower and lower. there's less in the way of water to cool . there is a constant issue with power coming in from outside to provide that's cooling for the wrapped as there are lots of different potential triggers for security safety issues. i think we've kind of taken our eyes of the board there was a face earlier on the will with the fact that your biggest need to pass station is basically an active was own. just a few doesn't come to the way from active fighting with russian troops according to ukraine. so i basically using as cover to kind of hide in a place that they know the ukraine's want to tax. that kind of has been forgotten that worst case, any kind of just return to the very occasion when these inspections happen to the

real estate taken care of this is still very, very dangerous, and that the world needs to buy more tests to this think. thank you. very much that was our correspondence. nick connelly there mt. well grain prices worldwide have risen dramatically since russia pulled out of the ukrainian grain deal. now western officials are looking to china to pressure moscow to resume the agreement. trying it was by far the biggest destination for grant export it under the deal, which was brokered by the un in turkey a year ago. about a quarter of the grain left you creating ports ended up in china. other big recipients worth turkey and egypt. the deal was seen as a lifeline for giving food prices stable globally, especially for drought stricken countries in africa as well. joining me now is dw china analysts, clifford kuhn in corporate. how important was the green deal for china?

it was very important for china because food security is a massive issue in china. it has about 10 percent of the worlds are blind, but it's trying to feed 20 percent of the world's population with outlined. so it is an importer of grain. it also likes ukrainian grain because it's a high quality and it doesn't like it. it has some russian grain, but it's, it, it, tony just freed up it's restrictions on rushing grain imports because the quality isn't as high. and it's also helped to keep prices under control, which are important because obviously inflation is a big factor in, in or in china just as it is everywhere else. so the answer is yes, it's a very important part that china and russia are pretty close allies. they cooperate and in many ways um could most goes decision to in the green deal strain. there's relations. i think it, it could have put some pressure on the, on the relationship. i mean, it is a very, very close relationship. they, when she didn't ping went to moscow back in march she he,

they spoke of how they were work. their alliance was changing. things like it hasn't happened in a century. they're always talking about how they're closed his lips and teeth. but some things are important. food security will obviously trump even this relationship. so the closeness of this relationship. so i think, i think that definitely it's something that could put pressure on the relationship if it goes on for, for a longer period. so as mentioned, china cooperates closely with russia. but last week, trying to support ministry said it wants to improve cooperation with all parties in ukraine war. let's listen, it hold on really good parties will properly resolve the issue of international social security to dialogue and consultation. china is willing to strength of communication and cooperation with all parties to build more into the national consensus and to make positive contributions to ensuring world since security cover . how likely is it that beijing will use its leverage with moscow to try and

negotiate a new deal? i think it's, it's very likely um, given up until now, beijing has very much song from moscow's him. she's when it comes to the war. but now it's taking a slightly more i wouldn't say confrontational, but it's definitely saying that this, this issue needs to be resolved. i think it can, it has a lot of leverage there, which it could use. it needs the grain. and also i wouldn't be surprised if we see a deal brokered by china because that will also, that also has it to bring international kudos. it will, it will make china look not good it's, it's resolved the situation and you can never realize these um, this part of the whole lot of the whole process. so i think we're going to see some sort of pressure going on. we have there's going to be a lot of demonstrations of how close the alliance is at the moment. we've got the chinese sleep going into a lot of ball stuck now in, in the, on the far eastern russian port. you've got the, there's going to be a lot of demonstrations of closeness, but at the same time i can,

well imagine china is going to use that and leverage that into coming up with some kind of trade deal over the at over grain. so for thank you very much for your insights. that was the w. a. china analyst clifford spell is more than $500.00 days now. since russia last is full scale invasion of ukraine. millions will remember what they were doing. the day the war started. but for kathrina, simon york, it was especially memorable. it's the day she gave birth to her son luca, after his story made headlines, round the world, she started working full time support. others especially women, living near the front lines. luca was born weeks before his due date. by emergencies is arion. not only that, but his mother, catalina, had just seen and heard the 1st russian missile strikes on her city when she went into labor, because here it was february 24th 2022, the 1st day of russia's invasion of ukraine. so what would you, what was about picture of us in the bunker went around the world. we have people

calling us asking if they could help asking me if we needed nappies. i told them that we were doing okay as a family, but that the country needed help. suddenly, all these boxes just arrived in ukraine address to katya because the truck came with 20 tons of supplies. and each box just took the katya on us. so, you know, i was getting calls because another shipment here for you lots of boxes because i couldn't get my head around does what was like going to do with a little baby formula. what started as an improvised response to a wave of support from across the world has now become a professional operation. dozens of volunteers coordinate tons of supplies arriving weekly from donors across europe. formula and nappies are still in demand, but now there are new needs upon the treatment of al is up with not the when you get the also with is that the best turn the case you can find is he, we send them straight to the unit sizing one of the power medic said to me is each one of these is a live save will never to, with millions of people uprooted by war and many called to fight for the very 1st

time. catalina realized, many people needed more than material support. they needed to talk, she decided to train as a chaplain, time waste one. it was most of what we do is just talking to people. they messages from the on lines just as if it can be as simple as i'm asking us to pray for them when they come under intense fire. we're thanking us for keeping them in our prayers. we check in with them and remind them we have their box, we're waiting for them. we tell them they don't need to worry about their families . when we look after them. they just hop to hold on several people into the last. you seem to get them through microsoft, not all of calculating this work is done over the phone, visits to civilians and soldiers on the front lines are also part of the job that well enough, especially if we could move with the bottom door. and of course, either a dangerous situations through drones and the sky 3 days more has so don't distinguish between civilians from soldiers, really, men and women. congratulations. i get lots of pushback from people who say as a mother and i shouldn't be going anywhere near the front line if you could give me

an update on the status of those or jamante. usually not knowing. she says that criticism isn't always about the real risks involved. her team travels with security and armored cars. she says it's about her gender. i'm not sure. it's the speed of school of decided with the kids. many people can't get their heads around the idea of a female chaplain where you have more societies can service. oh yeah. but there are groups of only we as women chaplains, can reach on. the women who have lived under occupation has been tortured for experience, sexual violence. she could, they would never go and talk about all the stuff to a male chaplain, the deep. it's not the chaplain school beginning for the children. it's just that the barriers are still very much there and when she went into moving for a female chaplains are still receiving evils. me patrol, but there are more of us and all the times and people on the city because me, i wish you all it and i'll just say a piece of research and the country is certainly going to need every one of them. more than a 3rd of ukrainian say they personally know someone who has been killed or wounded

in the fighting. so you're all watching dw news from berlin. just reminder of the top story we are following for you this our mass protest to follow the passing into the law legislation limiting the power of israel supreme court. the legislation is part of a raft of reforms by the government that has deeply defined it is rarely so sign up next. it's the co africa. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching the
