motors now the, this is the, the way you can use life from bullying is, well, supreme court throws out a key government legal reform time. it is the venue in that yahoo, who's changes cubs, the powers of judges, young popular measures, sped massive nationwide protests. and those bike damages homes and leaves thousands without power in japan wave. so for me to hide bass at the coast by authorities scaled back at the 2. not a warning, but say more from amazon. likely the

bench is all and welcome these way. the supreme court has struck down a significant section of the government's controversial judicial reform minister benjamin netanyahu pushed through the changes that limited the powers of judges to overturn government decisions. the plans were highly unpopular and prompted massive nationwide protests last year. let's go right over to jerusalem for journalists semi circle people took to the streets for months against this reform. how surprising was the quotes decision split? i think it took good people by surprise, especially now that the focus has been on the war. and this is, this suddenly become a non issue,

and these earliest have been talking about how all these rallies in the front are united with their, their religious or 2nd, or with their, their right wing or left. we and these, the divisions are an issue of the past. as of course, the bringing up of this, the question again. it brings about the, the divide that exist and still exist in these really a society. but i would say one of the people who made the comments and linking this decision, it together with the war that is going on, was say that this would probably take these re me as soldiers. and now the, there is a danger. this is randy officers good. the face and the charges may be in the have, if there would be an investigation. this is something that south africa has been pushing for a kind of an investigation on these early war crimes,

et cetera. and one of the considerations over the years of the international a courts is whether the legal system is run is independent and whether it does it to work. so by blocking this kind of legislation, this gives a further strength to the legal, the system is around. what does that mean then for then yeah. who considering his own corruption cases as well, of course all of this is bad news for nathan. yeah. how it shows that the supreme court is still very a proactive and a it definitely is not the binding on sign in seeing it says at this time, even if there was a war going on, i'll have to leave at the gentlest, semi circle. thank you very much for joining us. the is rather

offensive also say the conflicts with home us, which many countries designated terrorist organization will probably continue throughout 2024. i'm interested in you may not know who has said israel aims to control guys as border with egypt. at the same time, tensions on its northern border with levon on a rising fueling fee. is it the 2nd front of me? the 2nd most so they've chosen security and development at king's college london. i asked how a 2 front war would change things in the region as well. i think it might become challenging for is ro, despite to of messages that they are ready to fight a tool from tool because hospitalized so much more powerful military organizations on how much it is considered a one of the most of way trained and heavily on non state doctors that is funded and equipped by iran, it has followed quite successfully. you remember during the syrians,

even board on this type of a rush on the side. and it succeeded into cheating many of the sort of pros to need munitions. so it has a very strong sort of packing experience. it also has apparently a tied to us and of, of real page. it can fire and reach deep into a thread. now, many of these real good, some might not be very sophisticated. they are sort of a surface to surface artillery rotates and, and they might not cause mastic damage, but stating they can be quite powerful. and also there is suspicion that hits but not also has and a shape and the size and the undead press makes sense. so i think that there are a handful lies, it's a force to be reckoned with. and if they decide to use um, sort of a mix to con, carry out an incursion of the kind or the has about how much carried out on october

7th. then that might be a problem for each run because it might need a lot more main deployed on the know or to the 2nd. most of the king's colleagues bonded japan is bracing full rock. the shock software, a series of powerful, those quakes triggered the highest level to non a warning. officials say the threat of a major tsunami is passed for now. the one that more trim is good for. at least 4 people have been reported dead. thousands of us quakes shop depends west coast hitting the issue. cala prefecture, the strongest, had the magnitude of 7.6 old and 30000 times were left without power. but the government says nuclear power plants would normally affected the army. it was called in to help with rescue operations, and it was a 100000 people were ordered to evacuate customers inside this department store in east co op panic and try to take shelter as the trim is hit,

the hundreds of people are evacuated from a subway station, the, as inside the ceiling started shaking. nearby residents were quoted, the effects of the quakes from inside the home and large fires broke out to some neighborhoods. the japans meet you were logical agency recorded multiple quakes of the western coast. one of them had a preliminary magnitude of 7.6, and they then issued the highest tsunami warning possible

the service of the major tsunami of the since the great to the could in the pacific ocean. on march, the 11th 2011, outside with the success shima nuclear does off the still to clear and people's minds. the government says that so fun, none of the nearby need to have help on. so being affected they were both raised the professor for jo sciences at the university of milton keynes, english often more than 50 quakes today. what's the possibility of another strong one? what's on the likely the, the 2nd the of quite today was the biggest 1927.6, no way of us, of a small uh, of a bit of a thought. see the magnitude full and i expect that will get you a smouldering magnitude box in 2011 the big of quite of the cost of ready to have a 2nd. so now let's look at the book of shooting the power plant that you mention.

that was procedure to today's previously bought 927, quite small it off the shots and been to buy me to know if it's so things could turn really nasty. it's very unlikely. it's very unusual about to happen. but the times or more of the question is not past, but it, it sounds like depends on top of things that at least at the moment, i mean for dead off the so many years quakes and such a strong one. what's japan doing right? or more what japan is doing wrong, sees this building buildings which are resilient, which does collapse very easily in and out of quite a jump. and these people know how to behave. the videos that you showed people inside department stores does not show them running outside. as soon as you have quick stroke, just stay inside gets under a table if you come and hang on and keep under cover indoors until the shaking is finished. if you run that side, you're liable to be hit on the head by something falling from above. so you stay

inside until the shaking printers jump nice. people know to do that. i also would have hated the back you. i should warnings as it happens. i don't think i do that. so now i'm is really kind very sorry about the troll, but little bit of a some damage to some of the infrastructures, but they didn't overtop disabled and rushed for a city streets such as happened in 20 lab 7. not sitting on the depths to be said in japan as the known address that he wrote. and he said, let's go on unless it's a really, really big job quite because all have said is not what about likely. okay. and what else can others learn from japan? what about it? so the warning systems, for example, they, they seem to be straight ahead of us, or will it be about pretty good when i stop, the bullet trains as soon as the had this. so think about of quakes is, but they, the ways that the government you otherwise from the, on the surface, the by a ride, all the way through. the trouble for the body of the stuff is not much difference

in terms of wrong. but when you so close to the, at the center, but even a few seconds when she said traffic lots to read and tell the trains to stop. so things are not what done this little, the big ground shaking big guns. so that certainly helps with just having a seismic building code and then forcing it. now living corrupt people, look the other way when buildings are being built. exactly, i still think it was one of the big things, isn't it? i'm sorry, in forcing it is, is one of the big things it because you hear about the convicts taking home these codes but not enforcing them. well that was a problem in into okay. and that's okay. i just saw, i think building syria is pretty. i know, okay, but the upfront which it took in syria in february last year, those buildings should have been the best it built and they were you able in turkey, you're able to tie a seismic exemption tax for local volunteers, which it secures different from building. so profit safety standards,

i don't think that happens in japan. that's one thing to problems. those. right? okay, david, thank you very much for the insights. really interesting stuff. a russian president vladimir putin says his voice as bull intensify strikes on ukraine. and that's how the ation for an attack on the russian city of belgrade rush and launched. 90 attack drives it gives you kind of the hours leading into and you used a keep says it's a defense is destroyed, a 7th of the house and you find the president gave a 20 minute new year. a dress soft though was 2 years of war with ukraine, with roger raw that ukraine is alive. he said you can fights and you can exist as an insult and skills instead of victory was not given, but had to be one of the nice. it did not mention problems in securing continued military aid from the i lost a lot from samuel beckle. people around the world have been celebrating this done to the new year as the potting winds down the many
