And there have been protests by both pro and antigovernment demonstrators in algeria ahead of a controversial president ial election on thursday the antigovernment protesters say the election will not be fair a period has experienced months of on rest since the last president was ousted from power in february. Demonstrations are getting underway in a number of french cities as unions press ahead with another day of strikes to protest the governments planned overhaul of the retirement system now in their 6 day the strikes have caused mass disruption to transport and other Public Services the action is in response to a president in my no one calls proposed Pension Reforms which unions say would force workers to work longer for smaller Pensions Police are also preparing for potential violence at this afternoons mass march in paris. And thats where we find our correspondent garrick matters covering that mass march for us in paris hi karen tell us whats been going on there and what unions are calling for today. So we were here in the south of paris very tense situation as lots of protesters have gathered very angry about the reforms that the french president has put forward and very determined that they are demand is that they scrap those reforms and scrap them entirely there are a number of firecrackers that detonated here so there is really some some tension that people do want to see change and that they do hope that this will turn today out into another mass protest to send a signal to the elysee palace that the people will not buy into those reforms theyre not going along how is l. S. A. Palace how is microns government actually responded so far to these strikes. Well look for the french president this will be a real test and he has pledged in his campaign to become president that the will see through some tough reforms for the Pension System arguing that 1st of all there are unjust with 40 different measures for different jobs everything from a ballet dancer to a worker on the on the train or the transport system and also his argument so he wants to stretch all that blended into one system that is based on points make it more just is that his argument and also he says look with an aging population the Pension System will be pushed into debt it is no longer viable however people here have told me these are the falls are humans that they are constantly reporting to the fact that michael was a former investment banker and that the big profits will no longer be shared and many here see their pensions under threat. Kara these strikes have been going on for nearly a week now and we should say they have paralyzed much of france of transportation Public Services is there still support for the protesters. That will be interesting to see i ask a couple of your today are mixed feelings of the population according to polls supports this and many here have said look it is disrupting. Took us may just to get your the entire city is blocked only 2 subways are running so it has a massive impact and little well have to see what comes out of tomorrows press conference though the Prime Minister will announce what exactly he is planning a day and a number of prisons have told me they hope that there will be some concessions regarding these mass protests.

Lawmakers in indias lower house have approved controversial legislation that could grant citizenship to religious minorities from neighboring countries but not muslims the law if approved by the senate on wednesday would grant citizenship to much non muslims who are arrived from bangladesh pakistan and afghanistan before 2015. This is the latest flashpoint for indias culture wars protesters in the northeast border region fear the governments new citizenship bill will beckon an influx of migrants by day time the anger hard boiled into rage roads were blocked for hours an effigy of the Prime Minister hung in the streets. And we did the live garman is ending in cost it is a year and a summer course and the security we had to take and the lower house of parliament there were arrived the scenes as the government finally got their bill through. But for this muslim lawmaker no cause for celebration the politics is passed in my mind to find out who got part though here in japan good morning. Rob whos discriminating youre on or not and whos discriminating on the one hand you stand up and accuse me of singling out the minority what are we doing you know we are giving the minority their rights just a town in oregon so from bangladesh pakistan and afghanistan have got me on my mirror. Following the vote student groups from the Border Regions to their voices to the capital critics here say the bell is part of the ruling partys agenda. He had a bike hes in on he does 947 and this time into the 19 we are not built on another body should we stand with the Muslim Community of this country the minute citizens of amman jordan. Hes saying that it wants to see if people secure yeah the same proportion they are. About. Position to the bill is about demography as much as decency. Care. And the maximum number of influx from the neighboring countries he will make a drastic. Demographic linguistic change. Whatever the motivation over the change the bill already threatens to ignite ethnic tensions in india once more. The leaders of russia and ukraine have agreed to implement a cease fire in Eastern Ukraine russian president Vladimir Putin and ukrainian president. Were meeting for the 1st time to discuss the conflict which is centered on the donbass region in ukraine now this region is currently held by russia backed separatists at the talks in paris the 2 sides agreed to some steps and easing tensions 1st have agreed to release in exchange detainees that by the end of the year they also agreed upon disengaging military forces that are currently in the 3 regions in Eastern Ukraine and they will hold more talks in 4 months time to check on the progress of the ceasefire the leaders made separate announcements at the end of the talks. The meeting was long and difficult but the mood was rather positive thats the truth and i really want to emphasize that point. We will continue the discussions in 4 months and see the results of what weve achieved. This is certainly an important step towards deescalating the situation in Eastern Ukraine as well as easing tensions. Our correspondent Nick Connelly is in paris he was following the talks for insight and joins us for more hi nick so these 2 leaders have agreed to a prisoner swap and also to implement a cease fire how significant are these developments well sumi this is not the big bang so maybe were expecting this is i think in reality as much as could be expected these are measures that will create goodwill bring prisoners back for the new years holidays trying to aim for a stable ceasefire something that hasnt been achieved in years after dozens of attempts the real Sticking Point is the same as it has been since the beginning of this conflict who makes the 1st step who has to compromise 1st is a ukraine the compromise 1st by giving an autonomous status to those regions and allowing elections to take place before it regains control of those territories which effectively would turn those separatists into ukrainian politicians or does russia step back and allow ukraine to re going control of its eastern border with russia and make sure that those elections happen according to ukrainian laws that is the question that remains unresolved here but the fact that they were able to meet after the heights of 3 years and effectively agree to disagree and talk about things where some progress is possible that in itself is an achievement and this was the 1st time as well that these 2 leaders had met do you think that chemistry between russia and ukraine could approve under the new ukrainian president. Well this definitely was the 1000000. 00 question everyone expecting looking expectantly how this would pan out bullet in his alinsky the man who this time last year was a showman a comedian up against Vladimir Putin whos been in charge of russia for almost 20 years. They were scrupulously polite to each other but there was no overlooking the tension the speculation about whether they shook hands or not no confirmation of that at the press conference you had selenski and opposite ends of the table with merkel and mccall between them and very different accounts from the 2 president s of what they saw to be the conclusion of this meeting so lots of space between them there but as i said an agreement to disagree and to keep talking and that is something that we didnt see on the Previous Administration q one of the big takeaways Going Forward can we expect to see more momentum in this drive to bring peace to Eastern Ukraine. Well the leaders have put pressure on they say they will meet in the next 4 months at the level of the president and again that puts pressure on everyone further down the hierarchy to really deliver on these promises to deliver on the ceasefire. And i think that will really and they will some progress of the all this time the bigger issue of russia and its relations with its neighborhood with ukraine which it sees as part of its backyard and somewhere where it has a right to influence that is not going away that problem has effectively been part for the medium term at least now but what this is what this meeting and what these agreements allow israel very real tangible improvements for the people on the ground we talk about this conflict as a frozen conflicts it is that in geographical sense the front lines havent moved in years but this is very definitely a war people soldiers in trenches and civilians are being wounded and killed on a daily basis so if it is possible to really bring in a cease fire that really holds and the shooting troop withdrawals that mean the troops are no longer a couple 100 meters apart but that really will have a huge impact on 100000 about millions of people and allow people in Eastern Ukraine across the country to get back to some kind of normalcy. Connelly reporting for us there in paris thank you nic and we have some breaking news coming into us now of democrats in washington have concluded that u. S.
