of the day with armed police, extra security ahead of the crucial decision from the french constitutional courtn the statute books. you may remember at the time there was no vote on the house floor in parliament and that enraged the protesters and many mps on the ground. hence, it has been kicked to the constitutional court. we got the decision, we think, in about ten minutes. they may be a clean decision one way or another. a lot of indications that perhaps the macron government will succeed today. these are some of the pictures from different parts of the capital where we have seen large numbers. these protests have been going on for two and a half months now and at different stages they have been like this, large numbers and peaceful. at different stages they have been pretty violent. we have seen some really ugly scenes in different cities across france. because a huge amount of support for these protests, it is a culmination of a lot of residual background unhappiness, but manifesting in the protests against a change to the pension age from 60 to 264. macron says the country cannot afford

will pass and that the constitutional court will not avoid it. so, it's not a surprise, but i think that we will see in the upcoming hours and the weekend a lot of riots and strikes in the country, because there is still 70% of the french population that is against the referendum, and i don't think that it will end with that decision. in terms of what you are anticipating there, you think these protests, these protesters will not accept, certainly in the short term this decision, is that we were saying's this decision, is that we were sa in~-' , , ~ , this decision, is that we were sam'uf , ~' , .,�* saying's yes i think they won't acce -t saying's yes i think they won't accept the _ saying's yes i think they won't accept the decision _ saying's yes i think they won't accept the decision post - saying's yes i think they won't accept the decision post in - saying's yes i think they won'tl accept the decision post in fact when the government decided to pass the referendum without the parliament there was a lot of frustration in the country, and a l

we have a shot of the constitutional court for viewers to - constitutional court for viewers to lookt of a high sense. in terms of what is going on on the streets and depending on the outcome and the ruling of the court, what does it feel like in paris, is the apprehension of what could take place later? we had no strikes yesterday and for many days before, as well. ~ ., yesterday and for many days before, as well. ~ . ., . , ., as well. well, we had marches and demonstrations _ as well. well, we had marches and demonstrations yesterday - as well. well, we had marches and demonstrations yesterday and - as well. well, we had marches and demonstrations yesterday and we | as well. well, we had marches and - demonstrations yesterday and we have had them sporadically as we have been saying for the last three months. i suspect there is a strong chance of spontaneous demonstration, not that spontaneous that everyone will be waiting, but demonstrations taking place this evening, particularly if the council decides that the law basically can stand. i mean, the likelihood, i think, that the la

the constitutional court will make its decision. can you explain what you are expecting tomorrow? omorrow? yes, it's a constitution _ you are expecting tomorrow? yes, it's a constitution council, - you are expecting tomorrow? yes it's a constitution council, not a court. they are notjudges but our political figures appointed to this body. they rule on the constitutionality of new laws. if they are appealed, they will talk about the new law and go through it text by text to see whether it is in conformity with the fifth republic constitution of 1958. that is what they are doing. they have been appealed by the opponents, the left broadly. and what they are hoping is that the constitution counsel will say there are problems based on things that are very technical, about how the law was pushed through or how the process was curtailed using certain procedures on how certain parts of the law are not linked to finance but are instituting social change. and it is not in how it should be pushed through. it is very technical. the left is hoping that the court will at least knock down certain

the constitutional court will be deciding at some point whether that ruling was legal or not.e weather is settling down. we still are looking at sunshine and showers and that certainly is the scenario that we have today. the northern half of the country seeing the most frequent showers, some of them merging to give some heavier downpours. there�*ll be wintry in the tops of the grampians and we�*ll see some thunder and lightning across eastern parts of england, maybe some hail as well. further south, the showers are fewer and farther between. temperatures today 9 to 13 degrees, with this morning�*s gusty winds with exposure in the west and the south continuing to ease. through this evening and overnight, there will still be some showers across northern areas. but we�*ve got this next area of low pressure coming in across the south, bringing in some rain. some clear skies in between mean that we will see some pockets of frost, particularly northeast scotland, northern ireland, northern england and the northeast midlands. so a cold start to the day tomorrow. we�*ve got the low pr

are the first and second points in this matter, among the eighty-seven and the first is the constitutional courtis also a scandalous story when our government refused and still refuses to make changes to the law that would have provided for the participation of the seventh member in to a group of experts from international partners that selects judges of the constitutional court, despite the fact that the eu has repeatedly called for this publicly and from the supreme council of justice with the highest qualification commission of judges. well, he will not do anything adequate, he will not open interviews, this will create a problem both in the evaluation of the vrp itself and in the evaluation of the selection process of the higher commission of courts, that is, if we do not solve these issues by the 18th, when will the evaluation be officially in may, well, it will be a huge problem for the admission procedure regarding the overall quality of the current composition of the supreme council of justice . 9,000 dollars and for the period of the investigation it was proposed that the vrp suspend on

this won't be judged by the constitutional court.constitutional court today. it is certain that the pension reform not fully constitutional, that is for sure, because it contains measures that are no way can be decided under the procedure chosen. what remains to be seen and seen today is whether it is fully unconstitutional. an important thing to understand is the procedure the government chose to pass this reform, it has decided to use a legal basis in the constitution that is there when you need to revise the budget of the security. for example, during a pandemic when you realise you need to spend more money and you need to change it and you can't wait for the regular procedure. it is obvious we are not in a situation like this, the pension reform is not an ad hoc decision, it is changing the general principle of the pension system in france, and this normally, in the constitution, it falls under the scope of the normal legislative procedure. fist the scope of the normal legislative rocedure. �* , ., ., , ., procedure. at the start

situation is such that, for example , the case of the black sea fleet will be considered in the constitutional courtperson whose card was used by the regionals , serhii golovata, who at that time joined the party of regions, well, he explains that he was not there that he was somehow voted remotely for him, but they were transmitted remotely if the strong cards could not be used, that is , whose deputies agreed to transfer these cards to the party of regions, but not only them voted i open the list of your native e nuns of the time and look whether it is yuriy for further stanislav is long for chewing the unknown deceased or not davyd tyraivych for further yuriy polya e-e polyachenko va for and further an interesting character well named san sanichu smaller you too, ihor palitsa petrovich, the current partner or not the partner of igor kolomoiskyi, also gave his soul to god, i also open the homeland, too , there, as i said, nine people forgot their teeth, the one who supposedly was the first carcass, saddler, next, cherpiysky , next, next, next, next, next i am now i will find kuzmenko next little b

the constitutional court is expected. the constitutional council on friday is expected to to decide whether the pension form is gonna could become law. now of course, all these are taking place ahead of that ruling which is happening in the next 12 to 24 hours. people have been gathering in paris as well as in other cities around around france in order to voice their opposition earlier on on some of the agency feeds, we saw the crowd making its way through the center of paris and some of the crow. some members of the crowd we saw were smashing up on a bus stops and smashing in some windows as well. we mentioned before that they have apparently stormed the paris headquarters of the luxury goods company. elvia major owns brands like louis retail as well. so there's a variety of different people who are taking part in these, these protests. let's see if we can go back to an natasha battle. now. who is live for us in paris? natasha. are you able to hear me? ok. it's rob matheson and dora. yes, that's good, natasha. we were jus

george ribbons, although even the constitutional court in moldova has already recognized that this is not constitutional. and therefore, we must concentrate all the power of our efforts, including in terms of countering russophobia, primarily in our underbelly in those countries that were in the soviet union and develop it in every possible way. yes, not like you don't. well, why don't you? well, wait. well, come on, let's gather now, 28 conferences, let's raise our eyebrows. yes , i'm not talking about conferences. that's the point. what's happened? i'm not talking about the fact that we must directly tomorrow, which we have in the first place. it is necessary to spin circles , we will decide that we will go the way of the church or that the empire has lost its now, therefore , we will use his experience, as our empire will not restore. the only thing that worries everyone now is one thing, if they feel that a russian soldier can come and give a kick in the ass, they are afraid and respect it. i'm playing about it. we must also promote our values ​​and not only in russia they are dia

in the city of crunchy and ecuador, the president expresses outrage after the constitutional court allowed his impeachment trial to proceed. ah, hello donald trump is due to appear in a new york court on tuesday, where he'll become the 1st former us president of faith criminal charges. the details are under seal, but the grand jury that voted for the indictment was investigating a payment made to adult film star stormy daniels during the 2016 presidential election campaign. gabrielle is on the reports from new york. a handful of protesters came out friday at trump tower in new york. as news of the former president's indictment filtered through about 6 kilometers to the south outside the manhattan district. attorney's office is a patient among the world's media is also building as a date with history draws closer. but back in florida, donald trump's plain remains firmly on the tarmac, the man himself staying behind closed doors through most of the day, leaving his supporters to do most of the talking for him. i think these charges. a are not legitimate charges, i think what is happening rig

they will need tremendous support to, to reintegrate back into, into any society. france, his constitutional court has now given the green lights to president emmanuel michael's pension reforms. in spite of weeks of protests demanding the bill be struck down. the court rejected the idea of holding a public referendum on the issue. the bill is said to raise the retirement age in france from 62 to 64 micro forced to bill through parliament without a vote. well, natasha butler is live for us in paris at natasha. i dont know if this is the end of the story that you've been covering for months now, but it certainly feels that way. we know that headline constitutional counsel says ok. this reform is constitutional. what else did they say? well said nazi, what we know for now and look, it was expected that francis constitutional counsel would approve this reform largely there will be probably some modification, some tweaks suggested to the law, but it means the retirement age. and i can't race from 62 to 64. good news, of course for the french president. it is a reform that he has pushed for ever since.

this week the country's constitutional court gave the go ahead for impeachment proceedings against the conservative former banker. the court accuses him of allowing corruption in the country state oil companies. and it comes as less of struggled to tackle a surgeon violent crime and worsening economic problems. he now faces a vote in a hostile congress, an abysmal approval ratings. even conservative observers in the country say it had become increasingly hard for any political factor to defend him. what was that? was your political? should i made you? this impeachment trial is happening after law, so suffered heavy defeats the local election and in a referendum last month among the worsening security crisis. there is also a crisis in the health system, and i think the generalized discontent, my payroll and pushing legislators to make a political decision more than a simple judicial one, somebody. and actually the national assembly as up to $45.00 days to investigate the charges house. the latter will require $92.00 of the assemblies, $137.00 vote. other political experts feared a remov

and constitutional court.the same applies to the formation of the central election commission. now it will be the competence of the entire belarusian people's assembly and many such real concrete proposals, and which were implemented at the stage of elaboration of the law, they were born and just in the commission itself or they are some individual authors. here they actually were the result of those wishes of society, those wishes and e state bodies and representatives of the branches of government, that is, they sounded from different sides and found such a solution, so the question. like an unacceptable collision. we can share the answer. uh, competencies are clearly defined. everything was russian. the activities of state bodies are also not allowed at the same time, otherwise the powers which all the belarusian people's assembly to cancel the decision of any body, if it is contrary to the interests of national security, it is fixed with the exception of acts of the judiciary. well, after the meeting of th

and now the constitutional court has handed in its ruling. what are you going to be looking at over the next few days to see whether where this goes well, i think you've got 2 main things really. where to the protests go, because the protests is, as mentioned, say that they want to continue to trade. union leaders say that they will continue to purchase a sony planning, a very large protest on may. the 1st they hope the people will come into the streets. but on the other hand, you have the reality that has this bill does become lawyer, will be signed by the president. a will come into effect at the end of the day to some people might decide that his game over i thought it is time to move on or maybe doesn't a point coming to the street. so up to see which way to protest go. you also have the elements of what happens now for present micro. he's got another 4 years in his presidential term and it's going to be challenging for him because he said a heavy price in terms of public trust in terms of trust. so we'll say in parliament some m p 's don

is such a body that is above uh politics he has to monitor that well basically how our the constitutional court, that is, to ensure that the law meets the constitutional requirements of the country. well , even the police forces, quite powerful, were brought under the walls of this constitutional council. and all day long, television was waiting at 6 o'clock. finally, this council announced that they they support this reform that they did not find there is nothing that does not correspond to the constitution, they gave up the idea of ​​a referendum , they recognized the right of this law to let the french retire for 64 years, and the prime minister of france, elizabeth bourne, said that after this proclamation there are no invincible non-winners , and the opponents of this reform of course they said that they will fight to the end and that everything is just beginning oh, then you have one more question to ask today, at least in ukraine they say that july madame li pen is strong is ahead of macron, if the elections were held today, lupine a would win, who also said that if russia wins, it will

francis constitutional court has given the green light to president emmanuel michaels pension reforms. in spite of weeks of protests demanding the bill be struck down. the court rejected the idea of holding a public referendum on the issue. the bill will raise the retirement age and france from $62.00 to $64.00. i call forth the bill from parliament without a vote. voucher butler has more on this from paris. good news, of course for the french president. it is a reform that he has pushed for ever since he was 1st elected back in 2017. so clearly he and his government will be pleased. but you can see behind me there are many protesters here in central harrison city hall. they are gathering in greater numbers and they are of course, unhappy, even though this a decision isn't a huge surprise to them. what trade union leaders have been saying today is, even though this decision is happening, they're so great poets as they say, they want to continue with this social movement. a 21 year old member of the u. s. air force national guard has appeared in of boston federal court jack, the shera

literally in may there will be a meeting of the constitutional court to ban pressure on the russian language parties. it is we who feel the pressure on the church every day. in june , they want to hold gay pride parades in chisinau before , the mayor of chisinau opposed this. now it doesn't seem to say anything about it. and here's the next step in joining nato and that's us we have seen and see in ukraine and we hear the statement of my sandu and her party that this would be a solution from the point of view of security, of course, the majority of citizens of the republic of moldova do not agree with this, therefore the current government does not raise this issue harshly. they are trying to somehow hide the statement that here we are, we will buy some kind of weapon, we will arm ourselves in order to be stronger and so on. uh, will there be a young steel nato in the near future, of course not, because the constitution clearly states that young neutral states and in addition, the majority of citizens of the young republic are categorically opposed to joining nato. but if the same propaganda

the constitutional court will rule on the legislation on friday, before mackerel can sign it into law. natasha butler has more from paris. well, he's just in the police, it's on plato class here on the street, please by take us, you can go, he said some of the damage i some processes i brochure went under the gun is done by a minority. 2 people can be mostly peaceable that angry about my son, michael's pension reform, the fact that this her fool mean the people love to tie later broader than 62. they say eighty's on. and this quote just comes just one day before franz's constitutional council will decide whether or not to approve price of michael's bill if it does, even with some minor suggestions or changes. if it does these protests to say they gonna still come out in the streets, trade union need to say they will continue to demonstrate because what they want is with form scrapped. reform. the person michael says is necessary to sustain the pension system for future generations. isabella, i'll just 0 hours a week softer psychos. freddy devastated mozambique. the country is facing i

must implement seven reforms, we constantly remind them, in particular, the reform of the constitutional court, the judicial reform, the implementation of the anti-oligarchic law, the fight against corruption, valentin, when i look at these reforms, i constantly think that for me as a citizen of this country, the key and still the judicial reform so that cases do not get stuck in the courts so that the courts make fair decisions at the moment the problem with this is when we will implement this point, how should it be formalized at the state level as a safe language directly to everyone from the fact that the courts will get rid of judges who will still want to make decisions at certain moments in favor of those who are not on the side of justice , and unfortunately, not so long ago we had such cases in transcarpathia when the judge essentially acquitted rapists for gang rape by the way, i would like to inform you that she recently returned from hospital leave. thanks to ukrainian medicine, she has recovered and is now back to doing her work. she will continue to justify rapists, but we must u

the reform, because some other parts , for example, the supreme council of justice or the constitutional courtar successfully, as i would like, there is great progress in the formation of the higher wheels of the commission of judges, this is such a personnel department of the judicial system, these are actually the people who have to recruit somewhere around 2.5 thousand judges in the next couple of years for the vacant positions that are now available, and this is a huge chance to change judicial system and recruit great, truly honest professionals there, but this chance if these elections fail, we will not be able to fully provide ourselves with 16 great people to choose there, then this is a chance to cement the judicial system in the form in which it has been for years about 30 years ago, now the stakes are as high as possible and now , as they say, the ball is in the court of the supreme council of the judge already mentioned , she has 32 finalists there, where there is a majority. we have nuances, for example, the supreme council of justice decided to close this process from the public

it would be as if there was an argument in germany about whether we can the constitutional court the rest of the world wouldn't participate in that . but whenever israel is involved in anything, no matter how domestic it is, it becomes an international concern. the european community should. but out of this, i have offered my assistance but, but i wanted it in a constructive positive way. and so i think israel should resolve this issue, whichever way it resolves, it will remain one of the most vibrant democracies in the world. as evidenced by the protests we see on both sides, no attempt to start to stop the protest. so israel will remain vital and vibrant democracy, whichever way this comes out. i think it will be a better democracy if it allows the supreme court to continue its efforts on behalf of civil rights, minority rights, human rights and range of other issues. but the, let's not overstate the problem because i think many people on both sides have overstated it. well, you have pointed yourself to some dangers in some of the legal changes that have been discussed in particula

the constitutional court is supposed to rule on the legality of the reforms. forces are on high alert, a5 pension age. the security forces are on high alert, as these prote5t5 happen acro55 on high alert, as these prote5t5 happen across the country. our reporter asked one protester why it was important for them to be on the streets of paris. ifeel a bit... i mean, i'm angry because the government is not listening to the people. so far they've been only demonstrating peacefully and they are not listening to the people to what they want to also what economists 5ay. and they are just, they are like in the cru5ade for their own political opinion and not about what we really have to do for the system. like each country has its own problematics. in france, it's a bit different. and also, we've seen it in italy. in germany, everybody is saying, ok, don't, don't do the same mistakes. and at the moment, the government is doing the same. but if people are living much longer at the end of their lives, are living in retirement for many, many more years, which they are. ev
