enforcement and demonstrators around the parliament building ortiz, mary phenomena reports from the scene. we're in here, the class said right now, these railey governments in the heart of the city of jerusalem, where many people, as you can see behind me have the other is for an anti government protest. they're calling on a controversial today for recall. we have been expecting from ministers address to the nation in the last couple of hours, but it has been postponed several times. it is clear. benjamin netanyahu is currently in a very delicate position from one hand, if he announces the praising of the judicial reform, something that is so far we only have been here in, in the records. there was no, any official confirmation to that. so far. that would mean that the country's government will be in danger already. now the country major apple had been going on was shut down by with other attackers. 13 week

security forces and flash and with their re now the former defense minister albedo, your gun member, all prime minister in the code party. and one of the key figures in the countries right, we walk express these concerns regarding israel security, especially given the fact that the military disobedience in the military rang, i've been reading very fast growing number of idea reserves and pilots have many times residence to give up their cause, if the government does not back on the role mesa changes, and this is very dangerous, given his passionate moments, these railey palestine in conflict. and to recently a very dramatic page. we know that since the beginning of this year is israel in have been killed in a major terror attacked included in h, theresa lamp. and at me,

89 palestinians that died in most the military idea grades, especially in the north. although my glass banks are very, very delicate, situation read job piece a very dangerous moment. so alco mark defense minister was calling on this and yahoo to interfere and to stop the reform. and he was fired the very next day, benjamin netanyahu. this is steven and the fresh again, several minister is in the right wing blog, including very influential political, bigger right now israel, israel's national security minutes, the band they had called on attend yahoo sec guidelines. and this is what prime minister actually did shortly after this stays in tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets again, it's been tennis and to government protest, major protest happens in helen even here in jerusalem in front of from madison

residence. there were a gang flashes with police. ah ah! so off we have no information on passel taste, but we know that there has been a number of arrests already. she'll be off to the station to fire defense minister of the country and the k, or is that iraq to following this season. several members of the call ation made statements that they are ready to back up, ron minister to support team. if we decide to stop the reform

i oh because the decision to fire in a defense ministry is a clear indication that benjamin venyadi with them back crag mean moving to for a live in there. right? when was the u. s. has over the reactive development here in israel, calling them alarm in their rally media that has been closed with all this is recurring soon and then you read the country national security warning that israel is moving the board here. a

demonstrator major complain that controversial a civil rights landline or in the country with israel with no real talent that government golden compensation bill, which is already now a is another thing. anger. it would prevent real estate attorney a minute only the parliament and the prime minister himself would be able to do that. and

i'll say it directly to democracy. i minister of them on this list now. cross life to stevens suck, uni chief editor of mid east discourse. steven, good even c a thanks very much for joining us today. i'm not, not. first of all this, this must be a case of political survival for benjamin netanyahu is in a, between a rock and a hard place. it seems that is correct. so 1st of all, he has to stay in power in office because there is several law cases error cases against him, corruption cases. so if he loses her his seat as a prime minister, he will be going direct to were due to prison. that's why he is trying his best and he is live trying to work as much as he can was the coalition was the science

extremist coalition, even though in the past he was not dead. the we be that he did not that deal with them and he didn't agree with them, but now he has to deal with them and he has to do what they want. because of this coalition collapses would be losing his office. and if that, if that happens, he will be going straight to prison. and if he stays in power, he'll be picking the state of the so called state of israel and half, and it might go to a bloodshed, this 3. and that's what we're seen. we are seen violence in the sea, so it's been doing that now either he will resign. i ended up the what the people wanted at once and we'll go to prison or he will leg stay was his coalition, and he will have a bloodshed in the sleep. and they will have the right and the left fighting each other in the seats of asian will indeed of the phone p. i'm not solid, but it did say that this is a one of the most dangerous situations for israel since the war. and i must say,

there was allegations of caution, haven't been, haven't been proven yet. so we have to be very careful for making those allegations . well, as you said, he faces a very tricky situation. it looks like he might have to postpone the legislation and indeed that has been some speculation around that because the countries come to a standstill. but then if he does postpone it, it looks like he might lose some of the more right wing functions of his coalition . his coalition could come coming down to well, what do you think is going to do? how does the arch from here in the only person you will last thought they refer a so called reforms. and what he's trying to do, as everyone knows, is he's trying to deprive the prime minister to control the government to control the supreme court. and he got to suffer and he was in london and in london to find mister of london filled and post on it cancelled loosely farms and the seats are

for the fisher on him. so a lot a normal force and he will stop these sir. the, for the sake of his own country, he will stop these 3 forms, on se, decisions that he made to save his country a but, and i don't think so. he won't because he had a person that got you all to he were either dead, sea destruction. buckner, go to prison. do you think he's? well, i guess in lights of what you've just studied doesn't look like he's going to to re hire his former defense minister, which has only fueled the fire of these processes. sucking yeah, that was the biggest mistake he did. i he, as you said, he added a fuel on the fire. he should have done that and he should bring him back to calm down dead situation. i on this need, he did that there. that decision. and as we know it out, it's this, the city is more separated and the situation is getting worse sir,

or worse by but by the, by the hour. so by doing that by him. if he does not get back his defense minister, he will add the situation will be missing what he should have. what he should do is bring it, bring back his defense minister and try to work with his coalition. and at the same time, he has to convince the coalition to postpone and to not to cancel these reforms if you want to keep her the unity of their country. and if they want to keep her safe in their state. but as her, as if you and sees what we're seeing today, we haven't seen it since her since 1948. since the creation of the so called state of israel. and this is the worst point or, and it looks like we are seeing their beginning of the end of israel and is it is the story is so from the inside,

i don't see any or any ability of being fixed because the gap that mean that the political size in israel is too big. they've been this unrest is not new. this unrest is been for over 2 years now. they've had several government. they cannot sit on the table and to have you with the government. and they've been happy with government after another one machine after another one unrest after another. so i don't see this situation being faked or just that have magical or stick can fix of the scene that's happened. the gap is too big and it's been building up for the last 23 years. indeed is that it seems that that water state is much bigger than this judicial reform on nets and yahoo himself, if that is a you say the future of, of israel could be a stake had given this drift on talking about riffs. even the president himself did call on benjamin netanyahu to come to his senses. is he often we see such a wide gap between such these 2 political figures.

yet this gap between now that stream s and l and that of this. and it's, so it's a, it's on doe, on the worst point in the, in their, in their history. and that even the statements that did the in the data, is there any politicians and the cabinets of been given at no, did not even help them on the international community. like when they're, when the one of when they're ministers, mucho's come at came out and said there was no by this tinian. there was no palestinian people just not so long ago about a week ago that made the international community pressure much bigger on the, on benjamin netanyahu. and his cabinet all duck builds up because as we all know, the united states asked her is 3 pressure on benjamin netanyahu. the statements are very benjamin no son. when he sent it back, he is accusing dana,

the states of easter are of these protest and trying to bring his father's cabinet down. also, where is big russia? because a israel cannot live without the united states. and today we are seeing the relationship between an elective and washington on its worst point. so all also that will cause the gap between the politicians and the, the pumpkin sides between the left and the, and the, it's the mus right and the on the left. so and we don't, we shouldn't target the united nations a q i have that, that that is, it is a part that state all of the are not true nation community and support in being about benjamin the cabinet in terms of getting their apologist for interrupting you. steven problem bite and chunk the line does seem to be fair to knows, but we've certainly got the gist of what you had to say that it's definitely going

to be very interesting to see how it plays out of stevens. like uni chief editor of mid east. disco. thanks so much for your time today. oh, and now to france, where protests over proposed pension reforms are continuing american radio talk show host political unless gotten mixed in, as compared with somebody in paris. sues me to the 2014 rise in ukraine. imagine if russian politicians joined. the protest is in paris, provided money, gave speeches of support and handed out cookies. that's what americans did in ukraine in 2014 process, empower spot smartphones, government, post 3 pension reforms without to vote this bumping up the retirement age to 64 from 62 for almost 2 weeks. demonstrated being crossing with police responded using gus and water cannon. let's cross live now to radio host,

the radio host himself doll. and next thing garland could even see thanks very much for joining those. certainly a very controversial tweet from you will. so the response have you received from it? well, as you probably know, you know, i often use satire to, to make my point on twitter and for the most part of the responses on twitter, where people adding fuel to the fire, you know, as saying basically, well, you left out the fact that the u s prepared on n g o z, a non governmental organization for years and spent by 1000000000 dollars doing this and that. so for the most part, most of the responses that i got were people that either supported and understood the point that i was making in that the u. s. was recently supporting protest in georgia, supporting protests in iran, shall i say, fueling, creating and supporting the protest that they created in george and iran. and that is a typical over colored color revolution style moved by the u. s. and now they're trapped

by the contradiction of not being able to really respond to what happened in, in paris and from the looks of things. what's about to happen in germany. what, what, what indeed. yeah, you did mention mentioned not just that he indeed present. monro micron did coal, the protests in iran revolution and condemned the iranian authorities for cracking down on the protest as the i mean does have like sunday. now no limit. what we see, you know, is, are there 2 things? you know, i've heard this before and i was saying, and in the us what you say, what, what you are speaking so loud that i can hear what you say. so you know the us empire, vassals, i do not consider emmanuel, groan, the president of france. i consider him a governor for the us empire of, of a colony. but the america, you know, the world is listening to the, the rules bass order proclamations by antony blank and use your secretary of state

. they're looking at this, ironically, named summit for democracy coming up by president biden. and they're seeing these things. but meanwhile, the people in even israel, the people in paris, the people in germany, all over the u. s. empire, the cow, the people of the colonies recognized that they don't have democratic rule. they have the illusion of democracy, the illusion of independence and sovereignty sovereignty. they're coming to that conclusion and they're pushing back in all of the proclamations about an in summit for democracies in the world are not going to change those realities on the ground . and i simply try to of point out the contradiction contradictions using that are in comedy. now i'm just going to play you a quick clip of the you counsel another chief commissioner for human rights at the council. you're dick, call out the french police for using violence against the processes. i'm just gonna play. it's, you know, anacio question afterwards. the violins must stop, this is a necessary condition for the effect of exercise,

of the freedoms of expression and assembly, as well as for trust between the population and the police. well, like i did try to rush this pension reform through without a parliamentary vote from the people. now, do you think what you think that does for the trust of the french people? well, absolutely nothing, because this is to me, this is not just about the pension. this is about a series of a basically years of changes in france policy that, you know, made it to where to the people it made. it made it obvious to the people in france that they did not have control over their government. that the, the type of government that they have now is a, is a fraud and a farce. and that their government does not represent them whatsoever. what i find interesting about that statement is that it is of the most superficial nature, you know, people, you know, they made is what might as well. so, you know, people should stop hitting each other with sticks and running in different

directions and lighting fires as opposed to the comments about georgia or the comments about iran or hong kong, where they call for structural change. got structural called government change, where they condemn the government and the government's actions against the people here. they don't condemn the french government and they don't call for any structural change that would address the people that the, the issues that the people have brought to the have brought to bear against the government. so again, the contradiction is obvious here. indeed, while god, nixon, radio talk show host on political analyst. thanks very much for taking the time to come out to you today. thank you for moving on. now, russia and china are not creating a military alliance and i'm nothing to hide in the military corporation. i saw the west is building a new access. well that's at least is according to the russian president vladimir putin and his latest interview after the meeting with the chinese count spot shooting thing in moscow. done, lucy says today we're not creating any military alliance. it is true that we have

some military cooperation, but it is all transparent. there are no secrets there were conducting joined mil to re drills too. but it is not a military alliance. and what is the us doing that creating more and more new mil to re alliances. it is the west that is building new axis look, last year, nato agreed. a new strategic concept for its development. western analysts are saying that the west is building a new axis, similar to the one that was created in the 19th thirty's by the fascist regime in germany, in italy, and the militaristic japan vladimir putin. in that very same interview said that russia was going to put tactical nuclear weapons in bel roofs. the russian president said that this was a response to a move by london that he called absolutely reckless it's decision to supply ukraine with uranium. depleted munitions now, couldn't also emphasize to everyone that these nuclear weapons in question will remain under russian control machine when you come to sleep. so you see as americans placed their tactical nuclear weapons on their allies,

territory in train crews and pilots to use them if necessary. we have decided to do the same beginning on the 3rd of april, we'll start to train crews, and on the 1st of july, we'll finish the construction of a storage facility, specifically for tactical nuclear weapons on bowler russian territory, who will not hanging over the weapons to billers just as the u. s. doesn't to its allies. we're simply doing what they have been doing for decades on terms of the west 3 action to this development. it hasn't been all the same. the european union responded quite aggressively, actually it threatened sanctions. if bela ruth went through with hosting these nuclear russian weapons. but on the other hand, the united states actually took a more cautious approach. surprisingly enough, it said that this move by russia does not change u. s. posture at all, we have not seen any reason to adjust our own strategic nuclear posture nor any indications russia as preparing to use a nuclear weapon. we remain committed to the collective defense of the nato alliance. off leaders of course, signed over a dozen documents, deepening defense,

industrial and economic cooperation between the 2 countries. moscow and beijing have said they want to deepen their strategic partnership, make it even even more all encompassing than it was before for a new era. and this is something that obviously is quite frightening for washington and secretary of state antony blank and sat himself. it's a great concern for washington and the united states that this strategic cooperation is increasing between mont, moscow and beijing. on the other hand, hootin is of course more than happy to have a friend like she's in ping right now. so he had a piece kick unlimited if in europe, economic defendants and chinese and cruising at a much higher rate than russia's trade between europe and chinese, drawing at a very high rate is the other way around. so they should really think about themselves for decades. there's always been some one who wanted to turn china against the soviet union or vice versa. we know what kind of world we live in. we value our relations and the level that we have reached in recent years. that will,

so with russia and china growing closer than ever before, washington is going to be in for a hard time if it tries to continue this business as usual. foreign policy. moscow has criticized the west saying that's russia's doing what nato's been doing for years. but some people on the west have sent warnings to russia against his funds to station nukes, and bellows. bella roost, hosting russian nuclear weapons would mean in irresponsible escalation and threat to european security. bella roost can still stop it. it is their choice. the u stands ready to respond with further sanctions, france condense, the announcement made by the russian present of an agreement concluded between russia and belarus to deploy nuclear weapons, bath, geopolitical and military. unless ro hits dev says the west is avoiding negotiating with russia to impose more functions and stuff. no, i hear a lot of chapter by the you, you eel, who said they're going to impose sanctions. i don't think so. you should talk about

sanction saturday, you should talk about how to get on negotiating payable. because sanctions have been over the last one year plus and they have not achieved anything and thumbs off, getting the war to come down to applause. it's not going to happen. be, it's a signal from the russian president to the us. that is that since you have, this is under the same nonproliferation treaty as being and walk and various kind of, you know, lines that you have 5 countries in which you have based your nuclear weapons. and to name a few belgy and germany, you netherland stuckey. it all. so they are giving a signal to us that right from the about my time when you want to be escalade the nuclear regime or across the board in the cold water scenario. you haven't done it . so i think, you know, if you see the broad landscape, your political, strategic, tactical, and also back home, giving a clear method that we are not weak in spite of what it was title, human talk about where the sharing of depleted uranium with any country is a declaration of nuclear war, according to the health minister,

who said that the musicians can cause serious health issues. and they said they should use the musician would defeat the radium against in the war against the former yugoslavia. now this was a number of lawsuits by those who participated in the operations, including soldiers from italy, france, and the u. k. so been health minister denisia gucci, which explained the consequences of depleted uranium, munitions, and an exclusive interview with oxy said also, daniel merely break to the sharing of depleted uranium and depleted uranium. ammunition with any country is a declaration of nuclear war. have been argued for many as the to nuclear and chemical war is been waged against sabby and montenegro to all of those who claim that depleted uranium. ammunition is not dangerous. i advise you to put them in your room and see what happens. radiation which some people have no idea about as well as cancer appears only at the moment of ammunitions explosion. however, the dangerous close by depleted uranium,

nana particles which can the spray tens of kilometers from the side of the explosion from 5 to 7 years after the nuclear incidence damage begins to affect the most sensitive tissues in human bodies. in animals, the reproductive organs on his pano court order because of this was seen as significant interest not only in the number of cases, but also those who have died from fessler came in and after some 15. yes, all the forms of cancer. i suppose professor sla, done she courage in his conclusion about the impact of uranium on the environment. since depleted uranium and chemical agents ended up in the air because of nature warmed chemical plants completely changed the nature of cancer. the disease has become more aggressive and less susceptible to treatment. unfortunately, ukrainians will suffer fest. i feel very sorry for the civilian population. who do not even realize what will happen to them. the ukrainian army will not only use depleted you ran in ammunition in the east of the country in before regents to have

decided joined russia. they will sold these munitions, all of ukraine. the most common diseases after contact with depleted uranium in fatality. and ma'am, what is, what scares me the most is large number of sick young people. they look absolutely normal and healthy, but they feel terrible running from one doctor to another. and then we have also noticed a lot number of pathological conditions, genetic abnormalities, children, my kola, conducted a study proven that the i q level of children born during a number of bowman's, that been to the 1st grade, is significantly lower than that of children of other generations, or maybe we don't know what are the consequences there will be. but now i've seen more and more read diseases and genetic abnormalities. doors, colonial and neil colonial thinkin is still very much alive. well, what rushes ambassador, lodge a league all sort of said to odyssey in an exclusive interview without sees asana,

boy co. they also touched upon russia, africa relation, stereotypes on the western model of relations with the continent, is a short preview. from your experience, how to african countries that experienced the pressure of colonialism feel about the west's attempts to push them around. what is their reaction that needs in most .
