A warning of a looming environmental catastrophe from the fertilizer on board. Will hear from green the him on welcome to the program. The German Government says russia wire tops a conversation between German Air Force generals about the war and ukraine. The officers talk about whether ukraine could use german made cruise missiles to attack the bridge linking russia to occupies crimea. Chancellor, olaf schultz is calling the leak. Very serious. I know 4 teeth have opened a new investigation to its an explosive leak. Thats just sending shock waves through germanys political and military establishment or recording of a conversation between high ranking and forced offices. They talk about this taurus a long range, cruise me style, capable of taking out the bunk cars in over 45. 00 facilities. The officers speak about sending them to ukraine. They also mentioned possible targets, including the touch bridge. They can cry me a river, russia seen by you crate, and theres a symbol of wish and occupation one office, the allegedly sites this. Weve looked closely at the bridge. It is unfortunately like a Landing Strip due to its size. That means it is entirely possible. We would need 10 or 20 messiahs. Its a major embarrassment for german chancellor, olaf sholtes. Hes permits to get to the bottom of a leak. Thats a desktop evicted web design. What spring reports it is very serious. Thats why its necessary to begin a very thorough intensive and rapid investigation. Schultz has so far refused to send towards me. So i was to ukraine to the stray sion of many little maid cuz hes concerned they could be used to hit target some russian soil goose late. The recording was posted the social media by marguerite testimony on ahead of ocean state broadcast a r c equipment. Officials are clearly enjoying the moment so its suitable. Latham was this, i didnt know how to describe what happened and i was like, no, but uh, nato colleagues obviously involved. And so, and then i dont know how they will explain that to their own population. What is the, can you believe somebodys got a sliding thisll in germanys ministry is scrambling to pluck the leak and wondering whether any more of its conversations could have been taped over to the middle east night, where the United States carried out its 1st air drop of age into war torn garza on saturday, 3 plains delivered ryans 38000 meals into the besieged territory where the un says at least a coarser of the population is close to simon. Washington says the air drops will be a sustained effort, and that is real supports the operation tens of thousands of ready meals and dropped to a population that the United Nations size is on the brink of from in the us size is the start of the board. A campaign, the Budget Administration trying to prevent the humanitarian disaster and well agencies welcome the drops. They say its nowhere near enough. The United States just dropped 38000 yields is not across the control input. It would be much better and much more meaningful to make sure that the crossings work more effectively and that more trucks came through. So are 28. 2 1000 uh um you know, thats probably less than one full truck. So for something cause a drop feels almost like a token gesture, considering the scale of the humanitarian crisis in the United States as part of this crime against gaza. Today, america is trying to buyer silence by sending us aid. Its better for us to live in war then to get a from america. Was the president by didnt approve to the mission of to more than 100 palestinians were killed during a couch encounter with a trucks and the is right, the last week hes under mounting pressure burst out to him and the boat is response to the western humanitarian crisis in gaza. The situation in gaza tonight can only be described as catastrophic. The humanitarian needs are obviously the 3 the roof. Families are struggling to meet that day. The needs increasingly difficult to find clean food, uh, clean water and access to basic health care. There are increasing reports of illnesses linked to mountain nutrition. We are seeing an increase in the providence of diarrhea as well as other types of illnesses as well as such escapees which are very concerning. While the meals will be welcomed so many of those you can get them. It seems unlikely to have any real Lasting Impact for the people being hit ta, just by this bull. Earlier dw washington correspondent, janelle jamal alon told us why the us chose to drop a know after months of the 19th to monetary in crisis. Well, the board and administration had been looking into air drops like these for weeks now, but they say that they havent done so until now because of the logistical challenges involved. But what really appears to have move the needle this time around, is that incident that we described in that report. We just aired that incidents around the depths around that humanitarian convoys, or is really troops are accused of opening fire on palestinians trying to get food from those aid trucks. Now theres a lot of uncertainty still around what actually happened there, but white house spokes person, john kirby said that that incidents that highlighted the deeds to get more creative way to find more creative ways of getting greater assistance in to gaza. And at scale us officials really treating this like a key event that highlights the dire and as of the situation in gaza. Also worth pointing out that this is happening at a time where the bite in administration is facing a lot of pressure over its is really policy wide and expanding a lot of Political Capital here. Losing a lot of support along, especially young voters here in the us. Hes under pressure to be showing to show that hes doing what he can for the palestinians. But obviously there is this rebuild the reasonable debate going around now as to how much difference air drops it without any kind of systematic distribution for how much difference that will really make. And is this actually intended to send a message to the is really government . Well, the barton administration has been quick to stress that these air drops are the beginning that we will be seeing more of them at the same time. Theyre also quick to stress that these are not a substitute for age, deliver adult via land core doors. So they a, so the message that the Biden Administration clearly wants to send to israel here is that it should do more to open up those outline crossings to allow more aid in. But of course, theres this argument that these air drops would not be necessary if the u. S. Were in fact able to pressure israel to open up these line crossings. And as such, critics say that the message that bite and is inadvertently sending is that washington is unable or unwilling to use the leverage that it has over israel to push israel to open those line crossings to getting more 8. And instead, the us is having to resort to what critics call a band aid measure of these air drops, of that many deemed risky and effective maldonado and, and d. C. Thank you so much. Lets take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. Thousands of Anti Government for testers have rallied in cities across israel, demanding early elections, and the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu step done this now whos popularity has plummeted since the october 7 him off terrorist attack protester is also called for the release of hostages. Still held in gaza in the us primaries raised, donald trump has won the republican nomination from 3 more states. The caucus votes in, idaho, michigan, and missouri were all quickly called for the former president. Hes won every state so far, setting him well on course to be the parties confident in november as president ial election. At least 7 people have been killed in a rush and do an attack on the ukrainian portable desktop president flooding his landscapes. As the shaheed drone was supplied by iran, his urging ukraines western allies to send it more air Defense Systems and a cargo ship attacked by whos the rebels and the red sea has sunk is the 1st best. So last, since the many Group Began Targeting commercial shipping, it says is linked to israel versus owned, really mar was carrying thousands of tons of fresh lives there when it was hit by a mis ill and began taking in water nearly 2 weeks ago. Demons internationally recognized government is wanting, the sinking crude cause and environmental catastrophe. Earlier i asked paul horseman from green peace international, just high bank. The Environmental Impact could be well, i started to go to assess the big factors. Youve got about 41000. 00 tons of photo eliza being thrown into the ocean and together with uh, 10 tons of the oil, the fuel efficient. And together those could, could create so once, once its a sensor, this creates an environmental disaster in the area. So whats needed, ray is immediate action to assess the situation and, and, and try to try to recover as much as possible. And um, i think we have some fits this year of a ship just before its sunk and there from quite insane pictures. Um, the Government Team did visit the ship before a site. Have there been any efforts to limit or to clean up the damage . Here, as i say, is it going to say, i mean i could say the internationally recognized government. They said people to see the sheriff bus and as far as any kind of recovery. Busy salvage efforts, as far as we know, thats not started yet, because evaluating costs area to operate at the moment. We all know the political situation. But really, theres a, has to be a huge amount of assets combined with 2 of us there in order to get to the ship in order to assess the damage. And also the recover as much as possible just by divide to the political difficulties. And how if a toll can instance like this be prevented from happening again . Well, 1st of all, the ships do sometimes have a tendency to bump into the land. I mean, this has been a casualty and a different kind of sense. I normally spoken, you would have to pay the insurance companies. Youd have a, the un, the, im oh, youd have salvage express. Youd have a lot of people immediately in the sense in there. But the situation there is not normal at the moment. So it really is quite tired, its so important to get people to the region, to frontier, to the adams and really making assessments of the situation and recover to recover as much as possible from, from the vessel i, i task that would be extremely difficult for me to know, so i can sense of the situation that we have there. I think it would be very interesting. And i mean, i think its just difficult to see these images and to wonder about high and much is going to be impacted as a result of this. What, what are by the wild life in the, in the see, how are they going to be affected by this as well, there is a danger coast. I mean, youre talking about, you know, a huge amount of socializing, which is chemicals leaking into the sea. The, the, the red sea is one of the worlds most important by diversity areas with, with, and carls and other marine wise, the only lifting the rich baron damage to the region.
