a month after benjamin netanyahu warranty. as the country's new prime minister, supporters of the changes though, argue that the court building to power is an issue ruling against the will of the voters to limit in their authority. 2 will be rather a good thing. we have been able to speak to the testers here at this, where some of them went as far as calling. this government is asking for me elections. others are not happy with a to be right when they say your religion, we weren't there with no, we're going to go to court. we was only double. claudia, bigger that brought us against the legal reform. it's actually all the reforms actually are almost like a resolution and it's also against ultra nationalist and it will draw the dog

boys about to take advantage of this reform to turn israel to something else will want give up never. we want democracy, we will fight our demography until they're on the floor. there's a group come here today because the most dick tutorial laws are now being patched. i don't want to wear you. freedom of speech has been suppressed here for 3 years, as well as freedom of the press force, which amanda tal loads be followed, and the cal supreme court not be destroyed. it must be independently as in democrat country, a country like a fence minister and a leader all countries national unity party. oh israel is from now to right to take to make their boys. 7 and this is what's happening now. he said people still protection, defend ms. sentries,

democracy. this is there to do team. earlier this week, guns also learned that the new governments land new government refers to civil war and even yahoo described it as encouraging tradition. also last week, guns gold only then yeah. as special team made our representative from the coalition and our position as well to sit together and to for jobs. the country's reforms plan so that it satisfies everybody in it and yahoo rejected this idea. prime minister posted a video on friday defendant the reform saying they were allowed to discuss before. 2 the elections and during the election campaign and received a huge public support. one of the most controversial and radical figure is in israel's new government to the countries new national security minister,

the goal on police to take a hard line against protest. there is another opposition leader lupita who sent a message after that to the country lead saying these people are patriots. and this is how they should be treated, not as the states and may so thousands of people are participating in the process here in tel aviv and similar gatherings are right now happening in jerusalem and high as well explosions, power outages and civil defense alerts that be reported in several cities across the ukraine, including the capital ortiz, ramon cause we have, has the details of the latest developments. ukrainian officials and local media report that they were at least $100.00 rock as fired against its territory. now several of the countries regions declared emergency mayor of kiev, former box serv, it's alex call confirmed that there were indeed explosions in key if emergency

electricity blackouts were declared in the capital, as well as 7 other regions in ukraine. footage in social media in ukraine also shows a partially destroyed residential building in edna proper troughs. ukrainian officials were quick to blame russia for the destruction of the building, while the russian defense ministry are yet to comment on saturdays events. however, russian military officials have stated time and again that civilians are never that sockets of russian strikes. and also they have stated numerous signs that ukrainian air defense has been very ineffective. given examples how their missile defense rockets have already ended up in civilians, homes in ukraine, ands or even in neighboring countries as well when one of the ukrainian rockets killed 2 farmers in poland. now we're still waiting on the statement from the russian defense ministry. as of this story unfold, ukrainian presidential,

advisor essays the countryside. offences were responsible for a miss all hitting that residential block in the city of denise petrovna, killing several people. the official claims, the russian rocket was shot down after which it plummeted into the building and exploded. on friday, the russian defense ministry confirmed it had taken full control of soul a door in the dawn, yet square public paving the way to the nearby strategic city of alt, your mauve squish ukraine calls back moot. according to don, yes, republic official is $170.00. if a civilians have already been evacuated from solider, the women, children, and elderly have been provided with food and shelter and medical aid. some of them told us they were used as human shields by the ukrainian military. like them, i believe you still any given to me and then they started having fun, shooting at houses. 2 houses were facing each other and they were trying to figure out who could hit the facade. we have don bass written on our foreheads in blood will not know we are the enemy to that are what we will be strangers there. all our

lives. sure. which is your money would agree, what is the green and armed forces used as, as human shields? life was unbearable because we haven't left our basements at all since last winter . ukrainian fighters settled next towards dark. trenches in front of residential buildings constantly asked questions about why we stayed at old us. so you're waiting. you're sending gordon us to the russians. luc last. there is and is shelling today or where they live, for example, will just throw a grenade to you because it will mean you gave us away po, to suffer. it was very scary. the ukrainian forces were shooting calm. suddenly our house alone was shout 7 times. it was completely destroyed when we left. it was already bending down. this is my husband. he was shot by ukrainian. fought to right in our house for no reason. my husband shouted that he was a civilian, asked the wolf, how you doing? and the grin in fight to just run away without provides an anyhow. but i can understand why they treat us like this. you, i really don't know. you love you because lives

a basement for months in the house. they just kept shoots in that house. it was terrifying me while desperate relatives of ukrainian fighters, who were said to be missing or in captivity have taken to the strings of keith in what local media labeled a march of widows, women were seen holding photos of their husbands cooling only government to help bring them home, this comes amid multiple eye witness accounts suggesting that keith is reluctant to retrieve them of its wounded and slain service. men from the boss will feel a barbaric regime with no respect for human rights. that's how the you case. prime minister has slammed iran for the execution of a former top defense official and dual british iranian citizen, found guilty of spying for you. k intelligence london has responded by imposing sanctions on the islamic republics attorney general. and his record is ambassador from the country. i am appalled by the execution of british uranian citizen alley, resurrect barry and iran. this was a callous and cowardly act carried out by

a barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their own. people at barry was accused of passing classified defense and security information to british secret services as well as receiving any $2000000.00 in compensation for his treason. he had confess, but late to denied the allegations claiming they were given under duress like in 2008, the former defense minister was arrested on similar charges, but set free by an iranian court due to a lack of evidence. he then moved to britain, where he received citizenship. 10 years later, he was re arrested during a visit to to wrong and later found guilty of treason and subsequently executed to wrong university profess as science. mohammed mirandi says it's strange that a former high ranking of rainy and minister received british citizenship. while other rain authorities are widely sanctioned. he was caught working for the k. the evidence is quite clear. and i think

the most latent problem that the u. k. face is, here is how in the world did a former deputy iranian defense minister, game, british citizenship when iranian military and so many iranian senior officials and passed officials are sanction. how in the world did, he did citizenship forget the fact that he received residency. he became a british citizen, he was a person who had was involved in many senior bodies in iran. and there is no doubt that he pass on the information to the british. the fact that the western media covers the store in the way, in which benefits their own narrative is understandable in the iran, if they're riots, so call them peaceful testers. if

a police officer is burned to lie, they will not allude to that, they will not mention it. so these double standards are, are understandable because that's how the west function a desperate attempt from a news lensky, mostly reaction of the serbian president to a state been made by the prime minister culture though, and claimed that the boldest between christina and belgrade all the new bold is between nato and russia. serbia has its own borders, not russia's nor nato's borders, said by a un charter and resolution. 1244 boundaries are not determined by courtesy, but by international law. this is yet another desperate message where he tries to present himself as a victim, a new zalinski, and me as a little putin. in the meantime, serbia's foreign minister has criticized brussels, calling the agreement mediated by the

e u. between belgrade and cost of deception. he compared the proposed fail to normalize relations between belgrade and christina to the failed ministry course, between russia and ukraine. me, niece, we were not enthusiastic about the brussels agreements. they were an act of goodwill from belgrade. and after all that, we find ourselves in a deceptive situation as the minsk agreements between ukraine in russia were broken by the e you almost 10 years ago, the brussels agreement came to normalize relations between belgrade and cost of a boat. great has criticized the repeatedly questioning whether these agreements are still in effect. similarly, the means records mediated by germany and to resolve tensions between moscow and kias. last of the 2014 crisis. but as the former german chancellor admitted, they were actually designed to give key of time to get stronger. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you crane time ukraine use this time to become

stronger as you can see today. the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of to day . so be as concerns over the brussels agreements have worse than demit. escalations of conflict with christina casa votes. ban on serbian license plates, let the resignation of 600 local serve officials back in november then in december . and that the wave of protests followed the arrest of a serbian policeman under the suspicion of terrorism. and most recently, to 30 ins, including a child was shot on the eve of orthodox christmas by a so called albanian extremist, even guy edge, professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade. questions that you use role as a mediator. i think that similarities are obvious, not only that the, the time was similar, but also that the e u was mediating both and that it failed to implement for both every time they are behaving as an advocate of one side, or where to really discredits the

e u as a whole the countries and other populations really got tired of the process of joining the you. so they can't really threats, serbia, especially not serbian population with anything. that is why i think that the serbian minister of foreign affairs has got the courage to say these things. and he won't get any kind of a backlash from, from the site. because now, because majority of serves are really wants the brussels agreements are to be cancelled. what do you make of this statement by the serbian foreign minister? what do you think he means by call them a deception? it was obvious to me from the beginning that these brussels agreements are only going to harm interests, not only of servicing console and the thought here, but also of serbia as a state. because serbia was giving one after the other. this the states, i say, ok hours to reach dinner government to which we call the interim institutions.

because we are not recognizing it as a state obviously. and the only, let's say concession that they have given to, together with the, you know, with the, you was this community service municipalities which was not implemented. and if they have continued with that, with that bob, this would be a, a slow process of recognition by serbia. but now i think that train as fast, serbia will never recognize the session because the international circumstances have changed significantly. ah, any piece planned for ukraine that won't include russia is doomed to fail. that's the warning from turkey is that presidential spokesperson. abraham carlin also warned that people are growing tired of the conflicts, not only in russia and ukraine, but also across europe. the turkish official admitted that a risk of further nato expansion on russia's bonus was a factor in provoking the conflicts in the 1st place. ankara has called on security

guarantees to be provided for both moscow and key f use of error and political analyst on the edits. a t r t. well says the us and its allies, i rejected diplomacy. whenever we see congress coming out of the united states, we're normally seeing comments regarding war, military support. i think coming out of western europe a lot were military support, but we very rarely hear the word diplomacy. i did a, there's 2 options right now, a protracted war or a diplomatic solution. this is not going to be a quick conflict. it's either going to be protracted or diplomatic solution. diplomatic solution is a win win situation right now. i think for everybody in the world, i think this is something that everyone should want. it should be in everyone's interest. is it in everyone's interest? that's debatable. regarding a couple of the western countries, it's time to start. oh, we take in step with diplomacy in the country that wants to see a peaceful resolution more than any one else is here yet because we haven't seen at

the west take any real steps towards engaging russia of the day. and it is one of the actors that trust it both via moscow yet in france, local time rallied, empowers against the government's proposed pension reform. i made the spiraling economic crisis in the country activists. from a year, a skeptic political policy gathered to voice that discontent with president mc. crohn's policy is peaceful valley was observed from a distance by police officers. we spoke with some of the protest as he planned the countries elected leader for the crisis and want him to resign as a failure to handle the situation. the devil said issue, 1st of all, of course my current house to go because things up by an up and up with inflation, problems in energy sector, and then you get this pension reform. i think we have a 1000 reasons to take to the straits. i guess the skirt i am a foster,

so as i miss wymond, france will never be sovereign. it will not be able to do what it wants, as long as it is trapped in the e. u. if you really want to be free, there aren't many options left and leaving. the you is what allows you to succeed in becoming independent economically and socially over here it had people to see what is happening and they fully understand at all. they noticed that some things are taken place, but they get confused dizzily because there is a disinformation worker and on the u. s. will continue to modernize its military alliance with japan. the statement came from president biden, during a meeting with the japanese lead up. the japanese prime minister visited washington in the last stop of his g 7 tor thinking to strengthen the alliance amid alleged challenges posed by china, north korea and russia. mutual concerns between the 2 countries prompted biden to support tokyo's decision to increase defense spending approved by japan's new

security strategy. the critic say this was a game that japanese constitution earlier, but the u. s. defense secretary and secretary of state said they're washington is ready to commit to the full defense of japan by any means including nuclear weapons . and i want to reaffirm the united states are inquired, commitment to defend japan with the full range of capabilities including nuclear and underscore that article 5 of the mutual security treaty applies to the sim cock, who islands it is hard to overstate the importance of the u. s, japan alliance for more than 7 decades is from the cornerstone peace and stability . and you know, pacific ensuring security the liberty to prosperity of our people and people across the region. the u. s. secretary of state claims his country has been a force for peace in the region. not mentioning washington's use of atomic bones on the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. at the end of the 2nd world war,

in hundreds of thousands dead motions in house fell to apologize. as it claims the nukes helped to end, the war quicker, rushes deputy national security chief, dimitri met with you have called out japan. i for it's history with the u. s. formula because she doesn't care about the fact that the only country you have ever used, the nuclear weapon was the united states and it's only victim was his own motherland . he should remind the president of the united states about this and demand an apology, which was never provided for this horrible act by the american leadership. but no, he, she to works for the americans and servants have no courage. we spoke to the vice president of the center for china and globalization, and victor gao who says that rearming japan poses a danger to countries in the region. particularly when talk of nuclear weapons is involved. it will be completely wrong for the states to try to re lease the potential aggressive things of japan, which will be

a curse to many countries in the asian pacific region. i would urge secretary law in austin to be very cautious when he uses any word comes involving a nuclear weapons. it is absolutely wrong for a big country like the united states. talk about nuclear weapons, all using nuclear weapons against any country in the world. mankind does not need to have another nuclear. the united states use the nuclear bombs to bomb here. and i guess in 1945 and they have lots of contamination about the u. s. decision to use nuclear weapons was the very end of the 2nd world war. malaysia will look into banning palm oil exports to the u. s. a response to the blogs, recent legislation, making it more difficult for companies to sell the commodity to europe. if we need

to engage experts from overseas to counter removed by the you, then we have to do it. otherwise we could just stop exports to europe and focus on other countries. if that you was giving us all such a difficult time with the exports to them, it comes as the country's agree on a law covering a wide range of agricultural goods. exporters of such good to europe will need to provide supply chain information to prove they don't contribute to global deforestation. failing to do so will result in hefty fines, indonesia and malaysia, the world's top palm oil producers have accused the you and of unfairly targeting the trade. the 2 countries that discuss an appropriate response. the e. u is the world's 3rd largest consumer of palm oil, which accounts for almost a quarter of the blocks and biofuel output. independent research at murray hunter says that you use decision making on green policies does not serve the blocks interests. now the issue of what i would like to call moral imperialism

is coming out of the you and you've got, if i can use the best way to script, if you've got the 30 something year old, a lot, a drinking bureaucrats that sit in coffee shops around brussels in other cities in europe. ah, talking about the virtues of the environment, then, you know, our human trafficking on climate change and what they are doing is believing their, adhering to the principles of those, you know, saving the world through these regulations. they don't look at the situation ah, the history, the land, for instance, the land that most a lot of palm oil is grown on in sarah is actually st. won't be land that can't be used for anything else. so you're,

it's only about 9 percent of the exports. so i think malaysia and indonesia can look at alternative customers very easily. in northern africa, tens a 1013 is the ins are protesting against the policies of the country's government, as well as disputing parliamentary elections that some locals belief were rigs. oh, the demonstrations of been mon, my classes with police and slogans demanding the fall of the regime. people are outraged by the economic crises and rising unemployment gripping the country. january, the 14th also marks the anniversary of the revolution is start to be our spring uprisings. back in 2011. is how local opposition needed. they explained the reasons for the protest. i know what i mean, that the economy and state institutions happen politically collapsed. this crowds that gathered say enough to the school that destroyed almost everything in

a moment. good for about about the so this regime fits on tyranny, oppression, injustice, and back would. this would prove that the nation people will not tolerate your policies of clothes and of the parliament with a military tank or to so been the diesel systems. and where, where did we the yeah, what, there are food shortages. the economy is in bad shape. we are fighting to save our country from the situation. it is in that. oh, the latest news updates. you can check our website, r t dot com. thank you for keeping his company here in asi, international with

ah, the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading european countries in 1885. in the very heart of the african continent, a state under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared. since the beginning, the congo free state was total may him for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population, including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated to keep the congolese people under control. the king set up the so called forest bleak which wear punitive detachments that cast

terror on the captured country and its inhabitants. fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals. the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet used, and as proof presented a chop hand of an african, it was not uncommon when trying to justify the use of the ammunition. the colonist amputated the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide. in only 20 years, the policy of the belgians led to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside the holocaust. that genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the grimmest pages in the history of mankind. it's amazing to see people share, right, because as men we talk about being strong unami, everybody wants to be strong. man we're, you know, we might be physically strong,

but you know, are we emotionally weak? my son got incarcerated here. and i learned my biggest fear was and he goes back into it he had on the board about memory. my, my son's gray friends is charles policy. and he said, your son used to say he was she to come to prison just so he can be with you. in that moment i said, this is what you've left your child and this woman and your family to, to do they fate. you said viewing thinking you is dead, you never too old to find that piece which your children, which yourself mm

hm. this prison is me into more like always call a blank canvas and a beautiful landscape. mm. i think that there are a lot of things that we can accomplish here. if a given opportunity ah, everybody's watching everything they do. everywhere they go everywhere they gather . they have to really, really, really b up up or to make this happen. they have to worry about being put in the whole they have to worry about being moved to another prison depending on how hard they pushed. they don't wanna be too vocal because they don't want to be signaled out as a security risk because they're being vocal about something that they want to learn . they can move them at any time. they can.
