C as tens of thousands gather into the room. The hello, im terry martin. Good to have you with us. We begin with breaking news. 3 European Countries have said they will recognize palestinian statehood. Spanish Prime Minister Peter Sanchez made the announcement earlier in his countrys parliament, norwegian Prime Minister. Youll know, scholars fairly said, the official recognition of palace done by norway and others will take effect on may 28th ireland Prime Minister simon harris called it a historic day. Well, israel has responded with fury, arguing that it amounts to quote, rewarding terrorism after the october 7th terror attacked by him. Us. Its now recalling its in passengers in norway and ireland. More on that in a moment. But 1st, lets have a listen to what the irish leader had to say a little early today. Ardens norway in spain are 9 saying that we recognize the space of policy. Each of us will now undertake whatever National Steps are necessary to give effect to that decision. And the lead up to todays announcement. Ive spoken with a number of other leaders and comforter parts and im confident that further countries will join us and taking this important step in the coming weeks. This is and started. Unimportant stay for ardens and for palestine or course, but a jack parrot is following the story from brussels. What at the moment, this is probably as symbolic. Im political gesture by these 3 countries, but it is extremely significant of what we heard from the spanish Prime Minister petri sanchez when he may be a nice when he said that the recognition of a its a right. Its a recognition of the Palestinian People to that right to Self Determination. The irish prominence assignment higher. So we just had from he said that Permanent Peace can only be secured on the basis of a free will of a free people. Essentially what theyre trying to do is show that that countries are committed to the 2 state solution where that is a palestinian state, where the status of the Palestinian People have Self Determination. Its a big move though it is. Weve heard the is rileys, have already re cooled the around bus. It is from also and from dublin as well. And so this is quite a major step forward. We were expecting some other new countries could potentially have made it. But we now know that the, it was island, spain, and no way which is not a new country. That of, and i made this advisement today. Well, what about the other the countries there are 27 in all. Could we see other countries coming on board with that soon . Ste. Yeah. Was excited. Perhaps the belgium would also agree to do this and to recognize palestinian statehood, not those questions about different procedures and legislative motions that need to happen in each individual country. The issue has quite a complex and difficult situation when it comes to the recognition of palestine or palestinian state. The eu has for a long Time Campaign for the 2 state solution, whether it is a palestinian state with Self Determination for the Palestinian People bought as a whole. The you doesnt recognize a state of palestine and thats very difficult for them to do the only country that has done what has been done today in your opinion. As an e. U. Member country with sweden, back in 2014 countries like malta, cypress bulgaria, check. You hungry, im hungry opponent, they had rec, recognize the state of palestine before they entered the you. So this is a big step forward though, and i think this is the signal of how big of a step forward it is, is this is quite strong reaction from these ratings, these really Foreign Ministry saying that this move could fuel extreme is in an instability in the region, what is it, jack that prevents countries from recognizing palestinian statehood. How complex is that . It is quite complex button made me for countries, the distorted supporters of israel and countries like germany, for instance, they would be nervous about the reaction that we are seeing to this, especially in the current climate, off the vios, october, the 7th, the terrorist attack and the subsequent is right, a phone bottom and, and gaza. The question is, what exactly needs to shift diplomatically and then a Foreign Policy sphere for the European Union to get on the same page on this is quite a significant, well, as i said, the trying to still uphold the idea of a 2 state solution. We know that its ready be Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that thats not possible. So the, you want the site to continue to be is policy that high feasible . Is that the countries like re seen today, like island in spain making this move. So is that that is that students belief and that they will continue to press full about 2 state solution check. Thank you very much. Our correspondent jack parents, the in brussels. Well meanwhile, in gaza, the United Nations is warning that he met a terry and operations are nearing collapse. The Organization Says its no longer able to distribute food aid in the Southern City of ross due to a lack of supplies and peers over safety. It says its main agency for Palestinian Refugees who enrol and the World Food Program are unable to access their warehouses in rafa because of israels ongoing military operation. The fleeting russia many come here to the eye by the 10th instance of gaza. But the situation here is not much better. P, the 2 for basic supplies as temperatures, so that desperate for water by somebody reasonable to become show up, there is no water. We come, drink. When are you . There is no will to the come to the dishes become to anything, probably lives tops with suffering allows you to do to deal with heavy fighting around rough uh these really military says nearly 900 a 1000 people have slipped the area. The satellite images show the scale of to move meaning reason weeks, hundreds of tents and shelters have been removed to the un says few minutes here, no probations in gas on the collapse as almost no 8 come into and they no longer have access to it.

Jude ongoing military operation on was says that its Health Centers have not received any medical supplies for the past 10 days. Despite this Health Care Staff continue to provide thousands of medical consultations each day at Health Centers that are still operational. People have hype, the ppo, constructed by the us, would bring some urgency needed relief. But so far, it hasnt been nearly enough to get done and we have been waiting for this a was and we have not received anything. It just doesnt reach us. I ask america, the International Community at old, from us in the world to end this war. When we want is for this war to end, the us says is working on creating alternative routes to speed of 8 deliveries until that happens. Many people leave here, empty handed, sketch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. Russia says its begun Tactical Nuclear weapons drills. The exercises are taking place in rushes. Southern military district, which includes ukrainian regions, claimed by moscow is the 1st time russia has publicly announced drills and balding Tactical Nuclear weapons. Officials say theyre in response to what they call threats by certain western officials to germanys far right. Political party alternative for germany or a up. The says its banning its leading candidates from appearing at you Election Campaign events. Maximillian coff has been facing an investigation into suspected legs with russia and china parties. Decision follows as comments that not all members of nazis. Main are paramilitary spores were criminals. Their ends Supreme Leader until the company has been performing prayers at the Funeral Service of president abraham. Right. You see tens of thousands of people have gathered into around for the funeral procession. Raising along with the foreign minister and other officials, died in a Helicopter Crash in northern he ran on sunday 63 year old racy was widely expected to succeed. How many a Supreme Leader im because of that i asked sarah bozza bundy from the german is to to global and area studies if there is a shared sense of grief in a row to this morning. Well, im present, right . You see was the only presence in the iran since the islamic revolution. Montague, the lowest rate of participation when he was elected, am all the islamic republic, president types, higher rates of course the nation when they were elected. So that tells you a lot about how popular this figure in the political rom, any wrong was of course, his Economic Performance on his economic policies, but disastrous, none of hes campaigns was delivered. And during his time, one of the largest cracks down on the peaceful protests and they were on took place in 2022. So despite the fact that we do not have access to all the society, any of them, because when it rained in government, allows west and media to go on prepared reports, they watch them, they take them to set the places that want to allow them to speak to certain kinds of people, everything is pre stage and premeditated so we dont really get a right picture about whats happening in about a despite total of that i think these numbers and these, this facts about an event that happens during and hes, excuse me, presidency really tell us, tells us a lot about whats the overall sense, yvonne is there have been campaigns online, and thats sure theres a sense of relief, a sense of happiness, iranians in that aspect have been expressing happiness. Him, its not because of the big disk of one past, and of course nobody will be celebrating at this. But its the fact that he was associated with lots of crackdowns with, with um, you know, execution of the positions of the 80 is when he was a public prosecute to any right. And the fact that he was very close to the supreme need. I really that didnt help this case, so i dont think there is a widespread sense of grief as to be to the shop. Now weve seen footage of a black turban on the coffin of the late president. Can you tell us what the significance of that is . In the she a face um the claritys where either white stabbing or black tub and the black tub and signifies about they are descendants from prophet mohammed um and its, its in the, in the local culture. And especially in the political culture, its a very um, as soon as the symbol of legitimize ation of power, if you will, because if you are defending from the profit of the faith, then by default you carry a 2nd degree of gravity tossing and they just timothy and the interesting thing about this prayer session was thoughts of the supreme need that repeated the sentence, that is the best in the special prayer for that. And sees that says we have not seen anything but good deeds, but from these people in arabic. And he, he repeated that quite a few times in his prayer and a just to give you an and an example of how important this bus is when he was doing the prayer for, for me, for the rest. And john and he did not at recycle, not that. So it shows that he uses these vices of, of the prayer to express his own views about people. Okay . So just briefly because what does ra uses death mean for those fighting for protection of human rights . Any around because there, there have been quite a few people going out on the streets, demonstrating, pulled out. So its a, its always a system. And when you take one and a month out of the system really doesnt make that much sense. It was symbolic because he was associated with executions in eightys, but i dont think it means that we are going to see a more peaceful approach on this. So thank you very much.
