the lord and terry morris. and thanks for joining nations, including the us, britain and germany have called for com in. can you following the storming of its parliament and other government buildings? legislation in my room was left ransacked after thousands of protesters entered the building, smashing glass and starting at least one fire. the riot began as lawmakers deliberated a controversial tax bill that the protesters said would increase the cost of living . several people have been shot dead. internet monitors of described a major disruption to online communication services in the country. so, what do you use? kenya correspondent either kamani joins me now in the studio for more. i know it is your, you've lived in nairobi your base there. you were there just

a week ago. you've been following these prod, protests from the beginning. what can you tell us about what's happening now up, this is just a combination of a year almost of what people have been experiencing this controversial bill that you're talking about is going to essentially set the framework for how the government collects money, but also spends it and upon closer inspection, a lot of young people found that the taxes that were being suggest, it just simply didn't make sense for them as a country, the debt button is about 60 percent of the total gdp, which is a lot higher than what the world box and the i am mess suggests, which is 55 percent. and so the government of presidents, which is hoping that they're going to be about $2700000000.00 on increased taxes. and you can imagine that that does not look pretty well. not face slips. remind just why these protests started in the 1st place. i mean, they had, they turned horribly violent today, but they've been, they've been all going on for quite some time. when did all this begin? it started when the bill was table, there was

a 1st reading which happened last tuesday, which is when we saw the 1st wave of these protests and the legislative processes such that's today in parliament that was supposed to be discussing that bill for the 2nd. for the 2nd time, and after that and 14 days present to, to would been either assignments into low or rejected. but the president has been categorical, but he will say anything to know. and the young people, seeing no other way out, decided to stick to the streets to have their voices heard. evidently the members of fundamental and not listening to them, which is why it's accelerated to the pitch as a base thing. when i was spins right now, you were mentioning young people specifically feeling that they will be affected most by this bill. that who are the people behind these protests? are they organized as a respond to any us? this is the 1000000 dollar question. who is behind this? it's an organic movement of young people who are frustrated to put it into on sex. the continent of europe has an average age of 42 years in kenya, it's 21. we're talking about 60 percent of the population being even millennial

origin, csi, these are the people who are most affected, who are going to continue being affected by these increased taxes. and that's why they organize themselves in a way that's never been seen before. we're talking about nationwide purchased across the country happening also online the, the movement has, has really just spun out of a need and it's really truly been organic without any real need issues. give us a sense of what is like for a young person living in, in kenya today trying to find a job, get an apartment, get on with their lives, and provide a livelihood for themselves. how difficult is that and what sort of pressures are they facing in terms of prices? it's extremely difficult. i was speaking to an executive from one of these big tech firms who was telling me that in the 1st year of the ritual government, he lost 14 percent of his income taxes. and in the 2nd finance reading, he lost 20 percent of his income. that's somebody who has an incredible amount of money. so you can imagine young people who are either unemployed or unemployed, who have to, you know, figure out

a way to and they're living who are supporting the parents is extremely difficult and the taxes are going to be touching with things that they depend on bread, sugar vegetable oil based i propose types of content creates as this is what they depend on for sustenance. and so they're really been effective way consists of the most. now these protests have turned horribly by the we've seen reports that fires have been set inside of the parliament. we're there and the number of people have been reported dead or we're getting conflicting information about whether the police just been using rubber bullets or actually live ammunition. we're told that a number of parliamentarians have had, i've had to leave their offices. we not really sure where they've gone other buildings being set on fire cars being set on fire in the streets. why has this turned so violent at this point? yeah, it's unacceptable ation from what we saw last week with the protest basically begun and from the, the members of parliament. as i mentioned, the past, the 1st reading of the bill essentially saying to the people,

we don't care what you're saying. we're going to go ahead and do what we think is right for the nation. and so today is what is being called they 5 or 7 days range, the sustained campaign to make it impossible for the members of fundament, either do their work with. so them be moved over the weekend or churches not being allowed to speak to uh, to the masses. and so this is just a continuation of what we saw from last week and tony violence because they feel the protest us that the members of parliament just simply not listening to them. what about a political voice for these young people in kenya? because lots of countries have issues when it comes to the cost of living increases we're seeing as in, in multiple countries. but they don't always turn into something like this where we're witnessing right now. uh how, how difficult is that for, for the people to find a voice within the political system extremely difficult because at the moment kind of doesn't have a functioning of opposition party or position. and so there is

a vacuum there. when young people have issues, they either go online and often what the rage that happens online dissipates and it doesn't transfer offline. and so without that person to represent them impala minutes, they feel that the only way out, as i mentioned, is to take to the streets. you mentioned 7 days of rage and that this is day 5. they. so what can we expect in the next couple of days, either? well, tomorrow, if expected, the, the protest is going to go to the police service to demand the release of people who have been arrested. as a result of these protests, they're also going to be demanding justice for the people who've been killed as a result of them. and on says day it's been called total shutdown, kinda the idea is to close over roads leading to the capital, a cold by business owners to help people not go to work at 15 today. so just lot of that on thursday, assuming that they actually do make it to thursday, blocking the streets, labor unrest, the parliament burning. you just come on

a r r can you call responded. thank you so much. thank you terry. julian, a search has left the u. k. under a plea deal with the united states. the we can leeks founder will appear in court in the northern marianna islands in the pacific, which is the territory of the united states. he's expected to lead the clean guilty to by leading us espionage law. julian assigned was wanted for publishing classified military leaks on the wiki leaks platform, which he found in 2006. he fought extradition to the us from britain where he has spent the past 5 years in a high security prison. a 14 year fight for freedom is finally pots and end. after julian, a sons' agreed to a us clean deal. he bolted a plane on monday, found for the us tirade trade the know the mariana islands in the pacific that will

go on to return the ones fugitive to his native australia. his brother said the family was overwhelmed. i've been speaking to him this week and does go through all the details with human, you know, a very anxious, very excited. and he's looking forward to, you know, spending time with his family and, and been for a been able to have the sun shine on, on his i see that the go for a swim in the ocean back in australia. so it's very much looking forward to that for over a decade. the australian, how could send whistle blower has divided public opinion haled as a champion, a free pressed by men, a, the condemned as a traits of by his detractors. it was in 2010. he became world famous after his company weekly, published

a tribe of files and diplomatic cables. they included a video of an attack by an american apache helicopter, any rock but left 11 dead, including 2 journalists. and for some his actions with a hallmark of a free press, 3 description of what it put so many of those the link. so nothing shots of treason and a song, an enemy of the states. and down here, a swedish arrest warrant for rape and sexual assault. so assange take refuge in london, ecuadorian embassy. he would stay there for the next 7 years. this is a victory by the time and kudos president, we vote sanchez, asylum status. it was united states where he was a wanted mom. he fiercely falters extradition to the us from inside of

british prison. but the plea deal means a sound. well of a controversial will at last. be a free mon show while ago i spoke about this with rebecca vincent had of international campaigns or reporters without borders. she gave us her reaction to us on his plea deal. well, we are usually relieved that he is now out of prison. he never should have spent a single day there. of course he spent 5 years in lemons, high security bell march present. he's been arbitrarily deprived of his liberty for more than 13 years. so this is a very long time coming. but a huge relief to those of us who have campaign for so long for exactly this outcome . this is a huge development in such a closely watched k. so as you say, it's going on for years, has the plea, agreement that we're learning about now, been on the table for a while. so we're not yet able to comment on that. we haven't had the chance to scrutinize ourselves. so we're waiting for that to be released as well. um,

but we have long advocate it and i know others have as well for our political solution to this case. there is a chance that there would have been a legal prevention of extradition. this was playing its way up through the u. k. courts, and we closely monitored that process. but we had to reset this as a political case and it may require a political solution. we had urged the us government long ago to consider other means of bringing this to an end. ideally, we would have seen a situation where all charges were dropped and the case was simply closed. but the most important thing now is that julian will not spend any further time, unjustly behind bars. no stones julian this onto always said that what he did was not wrong. and yet now he's pleaded guilty. has he changed his position on leaking the information that got him into trouble? i certainly wouldn't read it in that way and we don't believe he should have been targeted for this. we don't believe anybody should faced such treatment for so long more than a decade for publishing information in the public interest. so the way that this

was done leave some room for concern. we also remain worried about the possible use of the us espionage act against others in this way. so this is one next step is that law actually needs urgent reform. it was not intended to be used as a target journalist. it got to be like this, but we have seen that it can be so firstly, we need a public interest defense, but other reforms that last of that journalist do not have to worry that they can face similar treatment. and that was rebecca vincent from reporters without borders speaking to me issue a while ago. it's catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world. the international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for former russian defense minister sergey showing you and the millet in the military's for the chief of general stuff battery get off the name of the warrants or for alleged war cries in ukraine to state join president vladimir putin on the courts wanted, let stuart in greece has issued a health warning to visitors over the current

a heat wave there at least 10 for an tourist, so either died or gone missing while hiking and 40 degree temperatures. fries has been hit by its earliest ever summer heat wave. germany is making a further 19000000 euro is available for humanitarian aid to gossip. or mr. anita bell. buck has been holding talks in the region in the occupied westbank. she called for the palestinian authority to play a role in post war, gaza in jerusalem, bearable criticized these really government over violence by settlers. she says these actions damage israel's interest in the long term. tyler, they decide this part. so the is riley government, coalition of the trouble and endangering is rarely security interest in a long time with their aggressive set to the policy the stack and the sky is, well strength lies in its liberal democracy. the shocking reports that include the

tension conditions for palestinian prison as it is rarely temps, and presents, do not fit in with these rails own claims to be a democracy and constitutional state direct. more now i'm joined by journal, a stella men of from be rude. so that we have just heard unusually clear criticism from that book there. how significant is the coming from the german for a minister. and of course, criticising coming from germany is one of those. israel's allies is more significant than if there is critique coming from other countries. but the question is rather, is bad books, criticism will have any consequences. the u. s. government, who's also a very important partner, israel has criticized the government many times before and even the whole fact phones or fine to us. and yet these actions have not bringing that to any change, and that's on y'all's policy. and the question is, of course,

whether germany wants to continue criticizing any people using words or is it will take for the diplomatic actions. the german 4 minister also warned about the dangerous situation in lab and on just north of israel. is that another focus of her trip? yes, the situation at in the border region is definitely a major focus. also, trip after fabrics visit in ramallah, she flew directly to be rude, where she met with a care seca can take care of prime minister, me auntie, and the minister of 4. and this is how beep and as we speak right now, bad luck is supposed to be at the airport leaving favored in a statement published by the german ministry or for india. for it says earlier, it says that germany wants to prevent an escalation of sufficing in the border region into

a bigger regional war. and the statement also mentions that germany sees the implementation of un resolution, 17 o one as a solution for this conflict. that would mean that his bala has with for its troops from the regions house up latanya bertha. the german 4 minister has visited the region there multiple times since the october 7th, a tax. how much weight does germany carry as a diplomatic player in his real and surrounding region? as well as quite hard to say how much of an impact babb was able to make with this visit when it comes to israel is quite clear that germany is an important partner for the is really government. but when we talk about the surrounding era countries, that book diplomatic power is limits is germany strong support for the, for israel, and the current cause of war, especially through weapons supply has caused

a lot of criticism in the region as well as and up on, on and the 11 on bab cause the rich and 8 supposed to meet with the speaker off tanya months now be better. who's very close to his paula. but this meeting was cancelled, especially because the time schedules were incompatible. but of course this, the still says something about the priority. bad luck is full. very so thanks for taking time. talk with us today. that was drill a still a minute for inmate route ele, uh, in israel itself. the supreme court has ruled that the military must start drafting ultra orthodox men. the decision ends, the decades old system that exempted all through orthodox man for military service . most jewish men and women in this rule are required to serve in the armed forces . judge's said there is no legal basis for exempting the ultra orthodox the ruling will affect round $63000.00 men are jerusalem correspond antonia

craver told us more about this landmark court ruling as well. i think it's, it's unique and now for many different reasons. it is, it has been years years of political and legal bachelor. and now the high court of justice has made that decisions a or 9 judges. where for them made an actually decisions not just a temporary arrangement, but the scene in the past years. and they have basically said that the policy of allow orthodoxy, shiva students of not a being drafted to the armies actually legal discrimination. and that should not be allowed. they also said that she was that we're, that these are religious schools should not receive cousin government funding if the students are not in listening. so this is an extra ruling that we are seeing

also, the conservative a judges on the panel was in favor of this. and this of course comes at a time of more. and there is a consensus here in israel that the burden should be shed. and that everybody here should be drafted to the army. now this morning also says however, that because it's very complex, it gives some time to the government to actually implement this ruling. speaking of the government, so we're saying that this ruling could lead to the collapse. so the ness and yahoo government, uh, how likely is that as well? absolutely. because um, you know, if the government now goes ahead to implement this, we could expect that you will get a run into problems with the us or orthodox parties. office coordination of government as well as you might see, it must protest by you. she's a students that are certainly don't want to go to the army. and this is of course, no also especially problematic for a prime minister. benjamin netanyahu,

after the centrist benny dunn's left, also the will covenant, and the government. however, he would also run into trouble if he doesn't to implement it, because it's not just a secular. liberal is rarely to one to see the us for orthodox of being a drafted. it's also parts of his face, the national nationalist, religious writing that might want to see uh, the also orthodox drafted. so uh, you know, so whatever happens next, i mean the government could also, uh try to, uh, put some that just lesion into overview. this ruling by the high court of justice. but it's not quite clear if that would then go back to the high court of justice and then whether this could then satisfy, you know, the high court and also the also orthodox parties. tony, thank you very much. our correspondent tony kramer there in jerusalem. since the

october 7 terrorist attacks by how boss against israel is really, authorities have carried out a wave of demolitions in occupied east jerusalem during previous complex israel held back from destroying palestinian housing to avoid raising tensions. but not this time is the, the use an abraham reports. and actually when it comes to this piece of paper turn, how much does life upside down? it's in order to demolish it home, built without and is really permit us here with his parents, wife and brother's family. she tells me there's was just for the 13 demolition orders. is really authorities issued in the area that day because they are, they told me either you demolish the house or we will come and do it for you. it's mohammad and his family live in east jerusalem is real occupied in the 1967 for an annex did in 1980 declaring the whole city. it's

a terminal and divided capping. most of the international community does not recognize this and palestinians claim east jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state and majority of jerusalem's 360000 palestinians lived here. give a fine getting permits to build homes virtually impossible. according to the un. it says is really authorities own little land for palestinian development while facilitating the expansion of is really settlements. that's also the experience of these to tar ski. he's a researcher at u. m u and it's really non profit that focuses on the is really posting and conflict in jerusalem. the permits regime is being controlled by the municipality, a based on zoning plans that are controlled by the government. and both of these bodies are making sure that the zoning plans do not allow enough permits,

fitting for the size of the population. and when palestinian communities in jerusalem initiate zoning plants, most of the times these are blocked the road rejected. given the situation, how much did not even apply for a permit. he says he knew she never get to simply built his house on his land to and got the penalty for doing that is demolition. which rates group say is really, authorities have expanded since the october 7th terrace. they don't want a lot of arabs, they want to reduce us. that's an accusation. the routine, the jerusalem deputy mayor and settler liter be a mentally rejects to him. the increase in hong demolitions simply about enforcing the law. he insists permits are issued without discrimination against palestinian residents. if we wanted the baby to create a environmental pushing them out,

we would not invest the is supposed to be an anti demolition active associate with the none of that investment kings mentioned it's for his community standing in the ruins of his home. she says, the jewish settler community, living in his east choose the neighborhood of some one, has no trouble building. well is really our tories demolished his house in february and then we'll have the monthly demolished my life. a lot of my pocket stone or my mother was here and then she gave birth to me here under this revel, there was a 50 year old picture of me and my mother come see and i'm and you know there is nothing that can bring that in fact uh we are the uh, monitors the visa, terse keys writes group you're, i mean the years this way to demolitions, pittsburgh violence in jerusalem. she tells me that during israel's previous words, and casa, is really authorities often hold to demolitions. to prevent tensions bubbling over

here, this time we see a opposite. it's a policy. we understand that this government has seized a conflagration, not as a risk. it's an opportunity to. it allows it to carry out more and more violence and drastic measures. she says that's because this tied for right nationalist each more thing here is administer of national security in charge of the police force needed to force demolitions to jerusalem, deputy mayor or a king mr. bank. if you're is doing the right thing, we are not demolishing enough in east to the center. as you wait for the bulldozer to come and demolish his whole habit tells me what his plans are doing. if they demolish the house, we will pitch attend and sit here. we will not leave, i'll have them. so i handed to chris and remember what the name dorothy. if you're
