The menu is mckinnon. Welcome to the program. The head of israels military Intelligence Unit has resigned. Failing to prevent the hum us terror attack on october, the 7th in which 1200 people were killed and 250 others were kidnapped. Major general off on elisa is the 1st scene yet is ready to go to step down over the attack. I leave, i said theres, im the, his come on the intelligence director. It did not live up to its task. His decision to step down could set the stage for more resignations among as ralph told security personnel to more lets go straight to rebecca versus our correspondent in jerusalem. Hi, rebecca, now i believe it says that he bears responsibility for this intelligence said, yeah, how likely is it that will now see more resignations from a senior military officials . Of course on ya, that you know, well have to wait and see what happens in the full out of this resignation. We know that her leave are accepted responsibility already at in, around about a week after the attack initially took place back in october. And several of the a significant officials also took responsibility, including youll have galani, the defense minister though nobody stepping down of course until today the one person that didnt take any responsibility at that time was the Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. Now, in his resignation speech, the general who leave us said the Intelligence Division did not live up to the task that we were entrusted with. And we certainly know now in the, off them off of that attack on october 7 that they were major upside is in intelligence. We know that up to a year before that attack, in october intelligence officials were made aware they, they had found a document that detailed much of what actually happened turned out to actually happen in the attack. And we know that spot to is he will see who would station to watch uh over much of guys that were in fact a cooling the alarm saying that theyve seen unusual activity that theyd seen drills being carried out by a mouse battalions. And that they were worried and date that they would be an imminent attack. But intelligence officials basically batted those fees away, saying that her mouse had no interest in carrying out an attack. They didnt believe that they had the capability to do so. When in fact that they were more interested in governing gaza, that was certainly the, the, the opinion of not just the military, but also the government listening to that and listening to that advice from the military. So as i mentioned, he already accepted some felt that way back in october, and now he is a he, theres leading up to that men standing down as intelligence chase for the military. Hes also called for an investigation into the wrong doings and into the site is of the middle tray, the intelligence, and indeed the government. But to that so far hasnt been undertaken by Prime Minister netanyahu. Okay, rebecca, stay with us. Ill come back to you in just a 2nd to talk about the schools of bodies that have been found in mass graves out of garza hospital, Civil Defense teams in goals that have discovered these bodies buried in a hospital courtyard in the Southern City of han eunice the grave was found in the knots of medical complex, which has previously been rated by is really forces the Civil Defense groups has at least 50 bodies of sofa, meaning zoomed spokesman said some have no clothes indicating that they may have faced torture and abuse. Israels military says that it is investigating these reports, and rebecca israel said that it carried out precise unlimited operation. And then thats the hospital that doesnt really fit with what were seeing on the grounds of the hospital complex off to the right. Does it as well . Sadly, that is true, weve seen the so called Precision Targeting of the sheaf and other hospitals as well, but in the optim off and certainly the pictures that emerge from there. You know, i will reiterate again that we have not being able to access because a everyone knows that by now. But the stuff that we have is being reported from journalists on the ground. People eye witnesses. Were seeing a lot of video being circulated on social media and around and it does not show what you might call precision attacks, which is what the military se they carried out. As you say, of 50 bodies, that number has, has been increasing. Ive been hearing 180 even up to 210 bodies from the nasa grades that has been discovered that number very likely to rise as many people reporting missing persons in that area. Ive heard numbers of up to 2000 missing persons in that area. So we may well say that number rise is difficult to say at this point. Its obviously ongoing just how, how much that number could rise, but precision isnt. But perhaps the words you would use when you look at the pictures and when you hear the stories of as you say, the eye witness accounts of alleged abuse, naked bodies being found in these pages, i will have to say what comes of that in the days and weeks ahead, but certainly not what you might call precision. Okay, now lets turn our attention to whats been happening in the west bank because residents let are launched a, a general strike at the we can, they closed shops and now the business is off to is ray. The troops rated a refugee camp in the territory. The Palestinian Red Crescent to saying that at least 14 people were killed. Thousands were injured. Israel says it targets had militants during a account to terrorism, a operation his rights, military rates, the nation. So if you do come in to absorb some part of the restaurant, after not many killed and injured dogs, boosters and homes destroyed the connect you, my son was sleeping there. He had to gone to wash himself and then he prayed and went home. His home is higher, up. There was a sniper in front of him, was shot to him. I heard the sound of the shooting. My other son went up there and sunday was bleeding. He blunted this look at the split palestinians describe these drive it as president , fit the model. I mean, itd be within that there is indeed a complete destruction of homeless shop electricity grid. Took up the sewage towards the network. Yeah. And the infrastructure comes out to have them. You have to finish the incursion, is unprecedented. Dequina the service knife as and rooftop the desk was nothing special forces detroit bishop, because its indeed a real one of the other men, as i done is riley minute receive. It get militants during the read. The army also sees it has phone and destroyed explosives and sees many weapons used in what it calls, detritus, activities. Following theyve started by listing and residents launched during the strike shops, universities funds on the public transportation, but or blues to protest bases are needed under 50 guns. And weve got lot correspondent in jerusalem. Rebecca rich has rebecca. What did israel say from to this region . The westbank but anya israel say it says that the operation was aimed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure and apprehending suspects. Thats generally what they say when they go in to these refugee cancel areas, cities and carry out these raids is sydney, we believe one of the largest rides thats been carried out since october 7. But we know that the balance has increase. It has, you know, 10 folds since october 7 violence. Were all over the west bank at the, by the hands of ideas and also by settlers has increased a great deal since, since the attack on october 7th, with more than 480. 00 palestinians killed by either either f or settlers. Um. Now 2023 was already on track to be one of the deadliest is in the west bank for more than a couple of decades, really since you into 40 years. And we were seeing that already prior to october 7, that uptake the uptake and bonus has surge since then. With critics saying that the idea of using the destruction of goals have to go in and settle schools. But of course, the idea of saying that it is necessary to ensure the safety of its citizens and to ensure that it doesnt say of a 2nd or 3rd front of you will if you include whats happening on israel is northern border with, with the 11 on so you know, you can see that the, the idea of saying that this is really a for security for its citizens. But critics denying that it is necessary and saying that many civilians being caught help in the fray. Olivia, well leave it that. Rebecca, thank so much thats the to lose rebecca riches in jerusalem. Our ukraine has welcomed a vote by us. Little make has to review urgently needed the military assistance military aid package. It was a huge relief. I was thinking of when the news came through and you could really see people staring at their phones calling each other really kind of, even though i kind of wanted to show because those people have kind of given up hoping after all these months wrangling that it would actually finally arrive, i think it is psychologically a massive deal. And also in terms of the scale of this a, if you look at the psalms, its basically in 1. 01 charge of a more than the us has given since the beginning of this war. So it is vital, it is huge. And as you know, people here and you quite expect, its hopefully the 1st bits of is a, theyre going to come pretty soon. So specifically, what kind of, of weapons are expected in an importantly, i mean, are they going to get to where they needed quickly enough . So in terms of the contents of this bill, what were going to see arriving to where you credit the front lines, i think its just about re smoking. I mean its, and that is the, its your 1st priority for the credit metric. We have a situation right now where the ukranian armies being outgoing, go from by 6 or even 10 to one and having to use it kind of caused the drones to compensate for the lack of basic munitions. So theyre hoping for those to roll across the post border into ukraine. Pretty soon. Same goes for munitions for hijack off systems weve seen. Given, you know, these delays ukraine able to shoot down many few of missiles and was the case of 6 months ago as a result of much greater damage being inflicted in terms of new types of equipment coming as being hope that was speak and talked in dc about as a cams ballistic munitions, but with a larger range the previous slides to be sent to you. Great. Which would really allow ukraine to attack rest, logistics, and rushes mitre installations and cry. Me a little hans, but its far away from the front lines. I make that much harder for russia to go into offensive and for lunch. Next. Thank you so much for that. Lets see w. Net connelly reporting from the new pro region and eastern new trade. And were going to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world now. And Global Military expenditures sort steepest increase in a decades in 2023, reaching an old time high of 2. 4 trillion us still is still comb. International peace for such institute says was and rising tensions fuel spending across the world. The United States was the biggest spend followed by china and russia. North korea has fired multiple Ballistic Missiles toward its eastern horses. As according to south koreas military, north korea has accelerated his weapons testing and recent months as it continues to expand its military capabilities in response, south korea and japan had strength and then military ties with the United States. Germany has arrested 3 german citizens on suspicion of spying for china. Federal prosecution say the 2 men and one women. Women assess up Front Companies to obtain research and technology that could be used to develop china is Navy Information about their activities was collected by the gym and Domestic Intelligence status of the United States and the philippines all set to begin. The annual value cuts on or shoulder to Shoulder Military exercises on monday. Now these are the most expensive middle of free drills yet. And they come amid a rise intentions between china and the philippines. This is drills will include the 1st of a military exercises held outside the philippine territorial waters in the south china sea. The problem is those of which is partly claimed by beijing. Im patrolled by its coast guard. Now the us and the philippines have a long standing neutral defense, tracy and a recent summit in washington. Us President Joe Biden said his countrys commitments to manila was quotes and quad w as east asia correspondent james tracer, explains the importance of this. He is exercises its the biggest annual display, isnt that true . Unity between the us and its mutual defense, tracy allied, the philippines, the product time exercises this year, bringing together more than 16000. 00 personnel for almost 3 weeks of drills. The exercises this time last week responding civics in our time tensions between the philippines and china in the south china sea. In recent months, paging his 5 boys, the canons that philippine resupply vessels near the disputants. Second, thomas shown where philippine ship was deliberately beach as an outpost in 1919 north for about 3 is the prospect of us being drawn into direct conflict with badging. If any uh, service man, will it be no service man is killed by an a thought from any foreign power. Then that is time to involve the mutual defense through the philippines coast called has been on the front line of chinese aggression. And thats why theyve been invited to join the exercises for the 1st time, 2 in another 1st, by like a 10 maritime drills will take place beyond the philippine territorial waters. But within its exclusive economic sun shown by the yellow line here. But that has the potential to frustrate badging because it overlaps with china is so cool. 9 dash line in blue here. Thats what it says which page and claims its own. Despite of 2016 International Court ruling, that it had no legal basis to do so. This is exercise as will be directed in pots from 3 or 4 Philippine Military bases to which the us gained new access last year. They include locations near the 2nd till the show, but also the structure of water separating the philippines in taiwan. The so for democracy, china claims its on the exercise, just follow a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at bringing washingtons allies in asia closer together. Over the Philippine Press then, sudden and more cost junior, recently attended a historic sized try natural summits with the leaders of the us and japan mall costs us. Instead, the meeting wasnt talking to any country in particular, but badging wont. The bulk of time exercises would only lead to grades of insecurity for the philippines. The volume the philippine should be silver enough to realize that rallying external countries to flex military muscles in the south china sea, which for the conflicts will escalate tensions. The french personnel will also join the drills for the 1st time. Alongside australia, he pictured conducting maritime exercises with the us depend on the philippines earlier this month. This is valid time exercises the latest episode in us efforts to galvanize its allies. The aisles political scientist, richard, hey dar and why it is significant that these exercises are taking place outside philippine territory a which is for the 1st time or is there so much unprecedented as far as these exercises are concerned . Well, in terms of size and scale of the x, the sides, the slicer, we also saw close to 16000. 00 troops and not only from the philippines and United States, but there were also participants and observers from other countries, including the united kingdom, not to mention japan in australia, so in terms of size, its not that different, but its the orientation is a type of Weapon System that are being just displayed and deployed this youre not to mention, as you correctly pointed out, or its solved, exercises are going to take place in the sol trying to see thats outside the Philippine Church r o c. So its a direct challenge to trying this expansive claims in that part of the world. And this is one way of the, you know, when we, for the United States to demonstrate its iron clad commitment to the philippines and also try to deter china. But importantly, some of the exercises are also going to be close to taiwan. So in that sense, this, theres probably got exercises as a dual orientation of pushing back against chinas aggressive intentions, both in the south china sea, but also in tie. One of a number of people dying across europe due to rising heat, has risen by almost a 3rd in the past 2 decades. That is, according to a new report from the use space program, Copernicus Office said 2023. So a Record Number of days with extreme heat stress affecting people across the continents, it was also a west a year on average with your as a whole seeing around 7 percent. The painful to break a lot downs, maam, to it now by dw senior clement reporter. So hes eligible and get to see you again. Louise. So more rain, more hes a year of extremes, is what were talking about, isnt it . Tell us more about what, whats in this report, the cannot stay. So this report really gives an overview of the types of extreme ones that we have been seeing in europe over the past year. Um, so europe is one of the fastest warming continents, warming it twice as much as of the continents. Which means that we are seeing the kinds of conditions, for example, that leads to extensive wild fires last year, areas as largest bowl in paris and london combined for bund, we sold the largest wildfire ever in europe in greece. Weve also seen flooding across lavinia and its lee and greece as well. Um, so were just kind of seeing all of these things and, and how they are impacting people and in europe. Yeah. And the impacts are quite significant and they the report says that europe is now a woman more than the of the continents. How governments starting to adapt to, to these weather changes. I mean, i think it would be fed state, but they are struggling to cope to some degree. And the report, for example, highlights the point of heat relate to desks and how they have risen that have been or they were in 2022 around 60000 teet related deaths due to heat extortion, heat stroke. And the World Health Organization said that that number will double by 2050 the governments or the report says that governments have not put in place enough measures to make sure that those are dealt with and recommend like Climate Health services very specifically to be provided there are a couple months that are trying to do other things in catalonia, in spain, for example, um, theyre looking at the seller nation, which is taking salt out of ocean water is very costly and energy intensive. I travel to the regions, have a look and see what other solutions by looking at. Lets take a look at your reports is actually day on the cost of bravo and northern spain. But some tours. So enjoying the beach. Just meet just from the ocean. Its hard to believe that could be a problem with water, but in this part of spain, a lack of rainfall is leading to severe shortages. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations in catalonia, but the sect to have faces the problem. Drive in the region means thats treeless and the Regional Government is considering imposing restrictions on taurus as businesses gear up for the summer season. The question is, how can they can so this soluble restore the sun, the hotel in your rate in law holds one answer here, gray, water, water that comes from bus, for example, is piped back into the hotel for the toilets. Just as a 20 years ago, the hotel installed separate pipes and treats the grave will fit in the basement. It claims to have saved 15000000 liters of water and made substantial financial savings from water costs. Ok, so okay. A lot. I think its something that in hotels that are room ready finished, they have to take advantage of a renovation situation. But i think it should be mandatory and new hotels being constructed. So there is the ability to recycle water and there is that are within the field, open space with the help of the nearby capital and institute of what to research. The hotel is also piloting a natural system using plants and soil to filter great water researches estimate costs for such a solution could be recuperated in 5 to 6 years. Hello, is this the my is this system has been designed with ornamental plants because with lots of natural based solution, one of the many aspect of that is for it to be privy in this case, ford taurus. And thats why its next to the hotel bar. If im doing 70 of the tourism season kicks off businesses and look into the ocean to fill swimming pools and provides Drinking Water and diesel. The nation plants like this one, but its costly, an energy intensive. Still the region will need every solution. Big small, if its to survive, as the drug goes on sundays, we saw that some really simple and incredibly effective ideas in spain. So saving bukasa for saving energy. And this extreme weather that were seeing, it is also increasing the potential for boosting Renewable Energy production. And, and use instances, thats right. I mean, last year already we saw around 40 percent of the electricity and youre coming from Renewable Energy, which is a big step up. But be extreme weather. So you know, flooding for example, filling rivers gives the chunks the hydro energy for example, to be built so that we could use that to generate more energy. Storms mean more wind. So then thats more wind power. And all of these things would help us move away from the fossil fuels that are fueling the problem with the climate and driving up temperatures in k. So a Positive Side to the story dw senior planet, unfortunately resourceful. Thank you so much. I now just before we go, weve got the proof of what sauces have been telling us all along, but the sports the practice is a spiritual Meeting Point for humans and mother nature. Now this is Margaret River in west and australia is beautiful in itself, even before the hawaiian sofa, Gabriel Bryan is joined on the waves.
