Yes, regents and on pizza statements with useful to use judy and all those fun explains these contractors hate coach of germany. He was making for the move back to bind munich, but its committed to the National Side until the 2026 will come. The we start this hour and the occupied westbank where at least 5 people have been killed in violence between is really forces and palestinian fighters. Large numbers of people have been arrested and fighting, and the newest sums refugee camp. This last that hours is really forces have also rated several homes. Military bulldozers also destroyed houses, shops and infrastructure in new to sams. Lets bring an alta 0 soon, but said ill be joining us not from to cut them. So in this rate seems to be ongoing. Just bring us up to speed with what youre hearing and the number of casualties. Well, its been a very dramatic day, a very violent day. As you say, theres been a ray thats been ongoing for over 24 hours now just at 6 oclock yesterday this time local time is when it began. Even now were seeing, theres really no Terry Nichols moving in and around the roads behind us and around us for here and drones. Over ahead. There has been an hour thats gone by without the sound of gunfire being exchanged between is rarely soldiers and housing existence. Fighters without the sounds of large and loud explosions going on in the north shelves, refugee camp just behind me, and we may have an understanding of exactly what the prime target was. Of the 5 people killed. One of them was shot in the head by sniper, a resident, the bystanders. But 4 of the men that were killed were in the same house. They were posting existence fighters and one of them was the leader of the total crim policy and fighters battalion of a brigade of about 50 or so Palestinian Resistance fighters who have been carrying out constant clashes with his regular soldiers for many months during all of these rates, his name was mohammed job and he was nicknamed alicia john. And he was killed just a few hours ago in the ongoing rate, in the newer shelves, refugee camp, the 4 bodies, the 4 fighters were then taken by these rarely soldiers and out of the camps. And no doubt the v is really military who was seeing this as a success because of trying to target this man for many months. Weve heard that his brother was killed in december and theyve been trying to get to him an ongoing rates in tow for him that have been going on for many months. And today they were successful. No doubt they will be counting this operation as a success and the residence of toford will no doubt be grieving for people that they consider Fallen Heroes as they in what sort of resistance is being put off. Not only by the fighters, but also by the people who are living in the refuge account as well. Let me just give you a sense of where were at. Were seeing is really vehicle is moving once again towards our position. Well just show you the road that theyre taking. Weve been driving around this area. We seen mixture of roadblocks by residents of the filtering city, not just the refugee camp. Weve seen the vehicles, we think videos of his really military business, driving past to farm refugee camp and being met with improvised explosive devices being hit with those devices. The Palestinian Resistance groups have been telling us that theyve been carrying out ongoing classes against this in person throughout the day. We heard those explosions before those sounds and parent classes and we know that at least 4 is really soldiers were wounded. Hes really news media reporting at least 4 injuries of, of their forces that have been going in during this range. And no doubt this, the intensity of how long its been going on is an indication of exactly how much resistance theyve been facing just to give you a sense of how bad this has been. We havent seen anything like this in the occupied westbank and weeks. And local residents tell us of a scale of destruction in taking a new bulldozers military bulldozers. They simply go straight through houses and thats what theyve been doing throughout the day. Theyve destroyed dozens of home and the scale is so devastating that they are describing this as the worst destruction in a refugee camp. Since the janine refugee camp was destroyed during the 2nd and the father and the early 2 thousands. All right, samples for avi. Thank you so much for that update from the academy in the occupied west bank. Well, there been global calls for restraint to officer and a parent as really jerome strike against iran. The head of a rons army says air defenses shut down 3 unknown objects over us for one province during and media, se nuclear site and the military base in the vicinity have not been damaged. And israel is just to comment on the us sector of state anthony blinking has underlined that us forces were not involved. It comes after israel threatened to attack iran again after that runs drone and missile strike on saturday. And that in turn was a response to an is really attack on iran, consummate building in syria source. And jabari has more from to from according to the head of rons army. Major general abdur rahim loose, ivy erodes air Defense System, were activated over the skies. S on province early on friday morning, they did manage to down 3 small unknown objects and the head of the army and said that no damage has been sustained to any military facilities in that area. We do know that there is a military air base in that area just outside of s, phone city. But according to officials, nothing has been damaged. And there is an investigation that is underway to determine where these drones were launch from and who was behind the attack. The International Atomic Energy Agency is said that there is no damage sustained to any of the countries. 6 Nuclear Facilities and the head of the agency, a russell grossi has urged restraints and highlighted the fact that a Nuclear Facilities should not be part of any military conflict. There is a sense that things are still very tense, but whether or not this is the final or response by israel is unclear. What is clear is that this attack has been successfully withheld by iran and its forces for the time being whether or not anything else will happen in the coming hours or days remains to be seen. For now, there doesnt seem to be any appetite here to further escalate the situation between iran and israel. Door such a vari, ultra 0 tower on will bring in stephanie decker. Now, whos joining us from tel aviv. So stephanie, israel at least officially is thing silence about this attack, but how is it being seen in israel . Yes, this is official policy as well. Never comments or denies any of these kinds of strikes. They had been very clear before had that the nature and the scope of iran attack on israel would get a response. You had intense meetings of the war cabinet to senior members of the country, security and Defense System here. And then ive for days trying to decide how to respond under immense pressure from the americans in Foreign Countries saying do not escalate because the situation has such a capacity to become regional to become that dangerous. So the feeling is, is that israel has achieved somewhat of the middle ground. It has responded of course, how deficient. He said that even anthony blinking today was almost very directly at the g 7 summit of the attack. Quite israel on the ride and he said well, according to those reports, so everyone trying to, to, to keep away from it. It seems that is all as strong as achieve this middle ground, which is a response that iran is not playing up. Israel is not playing up, so you heard from door. So that remains to be seen. Whether this is the final play, if you will, but certainly it has been a game changer. The reading, if you look at the conflict between is wrong, the wrong thats always been played out between its proxies in iraq, in syria and lebanon. And you have been, and this is the 1st time that both countries fire at each other directly. And whats been the response from a sort of nathaniel, whos um coalition partners, as well as the opposition as well. There had been a lot of debate within the war cabinet, particularly the man with the military background, former chief to start off wanting a more robust response. Netanyahu and others more cautious perhaps. But the interesting, the, the right wing elements of Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, his government, those that he bought in, uh the only way that he could return to power as a Prime Minister. People like its a more ben gavera, the National Security minister. He tweaked it today. Im a word that translates more or less as a subject core name in terms of the scope of israels response to it right now this was heavily criticized within the cabinet also from the leader of the opposition. Yeah. Like hes saying that this was unforgivable, that it was the 1st time that it is ready, minister had, you know, a compromised Israel Security in a sense. But these are the men that really mentioned. Yeah. Who depends on to remain in power. But now the narrative, certainly also in the media changing back to the war and goes back to the fact that people hear very disappointed that netanyahu not doing more to bring the hostages back 7 months into this war. All right, thank you stephanie jennifer. Thanks for that. Update from tel aviv as well after years of a shadow of conflict between israel and were on, they now appear to be directed directly confronting each other. But israel as theyve been hearing, never publicly confirms or denies its involvement last year. Its a ron blamed israel for drone attack on an ammunition jeff, owing us for hon. Thats the same city that was attacked. Overnights in 2021 being a tons. Nuclear facility in us for han province face the blackout. Is really media reported it as a cyber attack carried out by is really intelligence. And in 2020 a top uranian Nuclear Scientist was assassinated in his car near to her on western intelligence believed musson fuck resolved. There was behind a secret Nuclear Weapons program. That was halted in 22003, and then between 2012012. For a rainy a Nuclear Scientists were assassinated in shootings and bummed bloss. Iranian official said they arrested several people working with is really intelligence to carry out the attacks. G 7 for a ministers have been meeting in the italian islands of cap free. The gathering has been largely overshadowed by israels appearance attack on iran. G 7 nations of earth, israel to show restraints following iran strike last saturday and speaking after that meeting the us sector, state antony, blinking. So the u. S. Plays no role in the raids, but hes saying that iran must be held accountable for its retaliatory strike on israel. Were committed to Israel Security. Were also committed to de escalate to trying to bring this tension to a to a close. So you saw as well, or youll see soon and the g 7 statement as a commitment to hold or on to account to account for its destabilizing activities, holding into account by degrading its missile and drawing capabilities. And yesterday the United States announced additional sanctions on wrong targeting u a b programs still Industry Companies that are associated with the i already see the ministry of defense and its our forces logistics officer is doing a whole as in temporary incent this updates and hes fine with the press conference here, the g 7 Foreign Ministers meeting in countries extra of sites ends need blinking had strong words of condemnation for the wrong. But he declined to go to any detail about is really action in iran, in the early hours of the morning. He was off twice and declined twice to say whether the us had received any for warning from israel about a possible attack and shared that innovation with its d 7 partners. Or whether he thought that the apparently limited nature of the eventual attack could be the result of successful pressure applied by the g 7. And israels allies. He simply said that the us would place no part whatsoever in any offensive operations. And that he would say no more. Lincoln sticking pretty firmly to the headlines of the de sevens formal communicate, saying that the g 7 is more united than ever in working towards the escalating tensions in the middle east condemning iran, of course that he committed re committed the g 7 to israels defense and security and said that the g 7 would hold around to account by degrading it to miss out and drug activities sanctions. He also said that the g 7 would continue to work towards a sustainable spot in gaza. And he reiterated us objections to any possible lose by his ro, to launch an outright offensive in rough or showing how l g 0 covering as well. The secretary of state lincoln also addressed israels potential invasion of on rough. We had been very clear about this present by this been very clear about us. We cannot support a Major Military operation in rasa. First, there are currently somewhere around 1400000. 00 people in rough, with many of them displaced from other parts of gas. It in the 1st instance, its imperative that people are able to get out of the way of a venue conflict. And doing that, getting people out of harms way is a Monumental Task for which we get to see a plan and not only getting them out of harms way, making sure that they can be supported with management assistance. We have with us houses or a senior political analyst model on the side of high milan. So whats blinking said right, there was nothing really new. I mean, he said before the washington doesnt support invasion if at all, but for the is really is, will they be looking out to change the facts on the ground after the direct attacks that have been going on between israel and iran as well as completely stalled cease fire talks. Yes, i think these right is art for the time being. And as far as the official position is that theyre going to be taking a bit more time in terms of figuring out what theyve got to do with it off. And clearly theyre back and pressure is working on them because the compressor is not coming. Got a vacuum. Theres a serious opposition for this kind of an operation in the set on the printer is not terribly egypt and jordan, but also others were really fear that this very particular attack will creates not only skunk this casualties, but it will lead to displacement destiny. Closing towards sinai and to a serious instability, something that some of the egyptian or some of the id appreciate it was while taller and of the unraveling dentist, i think gosh, i dont want to see that kind of estimate cleansing on a scale that weve seen online in 1967, 1940. Now having said that, i think also the americans seem to insist that they do agree with these really is about the future of her mouth and then how much is lead to ship and gaza . There is no doubt about that. The americans are on equivocal about this. The point where they disagree is just on the how. Right. And i think they probably wouldnt get to something and, and the americans dont feel theyre going to see that it must be done tomorrow. Since this is district, an open ended, you know, invasion if you will, re and vision re occupation of guys. So if you read between the lines, then how do the American Spring . Thats how im us will be defeated. What theyre saying is that there is, there are a number of ways that are bit more discriminatory in terms of that tax. A bit more targeted uh, using more intelligence and eventually allowing more people to go back to the north. Then emptying off the house, most of those who are they could refugee and then be able to do the operation more clinically if you what if i might, if i may use this kind of neo fascist term. But clearly the americans think anything but a start bombing, an area where some 1400000 displaced people are uh, are crowded. That right now, theres another way of looking at it as well, which is the american still hoping that a number of a 5 week pauses where a captive is going to be released in exchange for prisoners where faith comes in and then allow that to go into something bigger, such as that original deed was sold yet even other countries where have mass becomes more of a political problem that perhaps involves frustrating this leadership to leave guys off. Weve got this, whether this is which, whether or not thats what the americans are. But there seems to be a bit of a stalemate when it comes to any smart hawks and hospice negotiations. I mean, how much has recently said that they dismiss lincolns claim that its blocking cease fire. Talk saying that it confirmed the United States blayton bias toward zionist fascism. So where does this leave all the potential for any talks and in the near future . Actually though everything seems to be gloomy bark and, and tragic nowadays. But i couldnt help but laugh today, listening to secretary lincolns press conference. When he said in the context of i only have my stands between guidance and cease fire. You said its how much is full because how much projected is raz court. Wait for it, jen. That a soul for generous offer. Generous offer does not include sci fi. It does not, it does not include ending the war ending the bombing. It does not include anything, the genocide that oppression, delta patient the siege, the advisor is shuttled hunger. It doesnt include any of that, im stuck there blinking cause it generates on a generous offer. How generous can you be and compensating for the death of a child of a woman . How about a 1000 children . 10000. 00 children. How about 20000. 00 children and women . How do you compensate . What kind of a generous offer this is the making on the tables today . And the 3rd and 4th its kept. Is there something sensitive to all of it today when that monitors are defending the is there any position in such a way that is really, truly indefensible. All right, model, im thank you so much. I as well as these 4 people have been killed west of gaza city after israels military bombed a family home. So while in the north of the strip is really forces shelves. A bad yeah. And baseline. Yeah. Other attacks have been taking place is to fluff off in the south. Well cross over to the fund, bringing our corresponding tiny muscle with joining us from their honey. Talk to us about these latest airstrikes and the aftermath. The yes very well. There are more relentless. Theres products across the gaza through but this time it are concentrated in the northern part of this trip and the western part of gauze, the city that includes one so densely populated on its fly, being business oriented neighborhood shivered one neighborhood where a Residential Home was targeted down further through the western part of the debt thats about half kilometer away from the vicinity of su, boston, the shutter refuge account, another residential building was targeted and destroyed the eastern part of the city of bit lot. Yeah, its important to bring the concepts to your, the vast majority of these families killed in 5, these Residential Homes are rigid, our displaced families being what that means. They have been already forced out of their homes that they were destroyed, that the initial weeks of the world are they are being sold during inside these Residential Homes in the western part of the city or other parts of another part of district so far were looking at at least 42. 00 people have been killed within the loss of 24 hours, which doubled the numbers of injuries on about the same exact number of casualties still missing on a trap under the rubble. Then with difficulty to remove large pieces of concrete on the lack of equipment. Unfortunately, within hours or days, these people already died under the rubble that will be very difficult to remove them or they are lifted the seeds inside the rubble and the central area, amelia, they eastern part of it and that is eastern part of the city. There is the more of like mobilization of his right elite of forces on the ground display as in what seems to be the operation. And the continuation with the, the stablish rent of the buffer zone, mainly based or in part of the gaza strip. Honey, in terms of any age thats coming into the gaza strip, can you give us a sense of how that has been playing out recently . The if, when were talking about within the past week, there was a significant increase in the, the amount of pay the entering the gaza strip. But it increased the amount of it is not nearly enough when when to challenge with the greater needs that everyone is facing right now. Whether its the northern part of this trip where people have been struggling with the spirit of permanent enforce the hydrogen to starvation and the acute shortage of, of medical supplies. And, and im sorry, all right, tiny, well have to let you go for now. Thank you. So much honey, my fluids, thanks without reporting from or the now the United Nations office on drugs and crime is issued a report warning of the rise and drugs trafficking across this a head region. It says that cannabis products are the most common least smuggled items, followed by painkillers and cocaine. West africa has also emerged as a principal destination for pharmaceutical fjords. Liked from us all the way and also noted that smugglers are increasingly using ships and boats for transports. Trafficking by sea could expand the diversity of products, but smugglers move under port says the smuggling is often made easy by corruption across local Law Enforcement agencies. We cannot speak to see a bird who is the director of the west africa observatory at the Global Initiative against trans national, oregon, his crime, joining us from the car, welcome to alta 0. Id like to get your take initially on what this report has reveals. And also tell us why you think that drug, caesar is a sword and the head region. Recently. No, there are different explanations for the different drugs. So this report is focusing on. If we look at cocaine trafficking in particular, we have seen what appears to be a phase of shop expansion since 2019. We have record break and cultivation volumes in locked in america. And as a great to consumption europe on west africa as to how are transit between these 2 points. So for example, weve been tracking drops and Retail Prices of cocaine across of in hubs in west africa. And this a how and you need to solve. For example, the retail price of 1. 00 grama cocaine dropped from 20 us dollars in 2022 to 14. 00 us dollars in march. The see to, to, to what extent though is, is corruption enabling this practice because the report seems to suggest that that is the case and it also includes members of the political. It leads as well as leaders of armed gangs and Community Leaders were involved in this direction is the grease that keeps the wheels of any criminal market. Moving and pertain is extremely profitable. And so we often see quite far reaching protection structures into senior elements of government. And the same is true for all the high value commodities like kind of as resin. Now we must also recognize that this a how currently is gripped by significant instability. And so the areas of the country that the government is struggling to control, and this instability also creates opportunities for criminal markets and drug trafficking. So that sounds like it must be very challenging to find a solution on how to tackle that. So i mean how, how, how does one go about tackling this issue . Responding is extremely challenging. However, right now the priority for this, the hell has to be stabilization. We do need to take drugs, trucking and other criminal markets into account when were designing responses that drive towards stabilization. But its also key to emphasize as the drugs that are passing through this a held on west africa in terms of canadas resident cocaine. Most of them are passing through the region to go elsewhere and we really need a whole supply chain response. It dont be simply the responsibility of transit countries to respond to the challenges of the drugs trade. All right, thank you so much for speaking to us from the car of the Ukrainian Military size. Its down to strategic long range russian bomber for the 1st time. This video shows the plane spiraling to the ground fault to be over russian territory. The 222 bomber terrys cruise missiles in the dawn, yet squeeze you in on friday, present of a load of mister lensky was on the front line. Thats where he visited trenches and inspected army defenses. This is the country braces itself or renewed russian offensive in the spring or summer. And ukraine says that 9 people had been killed and russian strikes overnight. It happens in the central city of the ne pro Charles Stratford as following developments from teats of another night of heavy attacks by Russian Forces seemingly concentrated on the area of the neat pro ukrainian f. Also saying that there was 36 attacks 20 to me. So i was a full team driving this, they say that they might assume its a 629. 00 of these projectiles, but there have been more civilian casualties. Do you currently know . Sorry to saying that at least 8 people were killed, including 2 children. And another 29. 00 injury the coast of russia continues to say that it doesnt deliberately target civilians and civilian areas. But civilians are still being killed in these attacks as they have continued to escalate and have done in recent weeks. Now. Meantime, ukrainian f also also claiming that they found a rush and strategic boma a t t 22. 00 and bola around 300 kilometers from the ukranian border. This is being denied by the russians suddenly rush and state media saying that the boma was returning from a mission and stuff with some sort of technical malfunction. But the video is very convincing. Suddenly the disappeared on social media of what seems to be a plane that conforms to that kind of bonus shape promising to the ground currently in full season. The last couple of days though, have been claiming that theyve been targeting a factory that actually produces these vamos in the cars on region of russia. Thats at least a 1000 kilometers from the grading border also as well as mentioning that in august last year. You credit in full was, hes claim to of taken out 2 of these ball as an ad base south of st. Petersburg. But i think its worth pointing out that despite these demands being made by the ukrainians and the support to those develop seemingly, theyre getting from the nato highlights that they do need great to add defense capabilities to better protect the skies. Ukraine is still seemingly able to hit the russian targets a Long Distance from ukrainian borders. Tell stuff algebra keith.

Looking good in uruguay as capital montevideo 24 degrees, but a bit breezy today on friday, the growing up in greece means taking action. Welcome to ration change, a playful series. That seems to understand the challenge. The idea is mobilizing use around the world. We need to a Political Party that well talk about our problems, know how come from a generation because 0 is being seem the groups the size of the system as know for most interest of working class people, there is a difference between being able to participate in the system and actually being represented in the system generation change on al jazeera.

And as he seeks us, that hes guaranteeing that he will make india a bigger and better country for its 1400000000 people. Critics say the only way for that to happen is to have a strong position that holds the government accountable. You know fernandez g 0. Okay, lets take a closer look at how india will vote. So as we mentioned, nearly a 1000000000 people are registered to vote. And theyll cast their ballots in 7 phases at a 1000000 polling stations until early june. There are 543 states, and the luck sup, hot or lower house of parliament at a party needs a simple majority of 272 seats to govern.

Hes joining us from new delhi, mr. Im sorry. Good to have you with us. So there have been 2 terms that the render moody already. How likely is that hes 60 years secure as a 3rd one. Hes deep on sean fit the way had done. But that doubts whether he was get the kind of numbers that he is projected. Hes talking of 372400 seats given the ground reports come after the 1st sound of both bowling. It seems to indicate that there is no very and if there is no way of the more than many other pre saw in 20142019. So these are the is, it is not evident to anybody. And i never thought indeed is the case, but unless the body but for shot off the numbers but take care of his party will be running. I mean, the branch i p is also trying to gain a foothold in areas like the east and south of the country where they havent had before. How tough is that going to be it. Thats going to be a very tough nut to crack beat off the 120. 00 seats in salt and there at the beach. If you ever find it difficult to be shipping h 2 when a large number of seats, if there are to come. If even if they are to have a more john, so getting to the, to work for the number that mr. More the as predicted. The find the salt is a body of body and cut or not because the b g b where to find it difficult to read a large number of seats. Something that we were trying to look for is to date. If the be just a been just single sheet, the picture considered its sort of lucky. But the bridge it, whatever it does, because it begins with the b b in terms of off the what in percentage on the number of votes that it can.

The opposition to best Case Scenario at the moment is that they should be able to stop somebody from getting either the majority on their not just for 10 minutes over the seats.

The 36 year old was appointed in september and as 13. 00 of the 6 games in charge. These current deal was due to expire at the end of year of 2024, which germany will host in june and july. It didnt speculation linking douglas month with a move back to his former club by munich to replace thomas to called we spoke to dave brad exports corresponding for jim and broad, costa deutsch. A fellow, he told us the National Side acted quickly to avoid any chance of logo some on moving back to buying. If you look back at when those models are pointed to germany touch weight last year. But that was really seen as sort of the stopped up emergency to replace the slick who was really poor. And he was kind of seen as more of a kind of club manager who was just really starting in to say, well, what the timeline is, it wouldnt be a disaster is home, yours for germany. But the mood has totally changed from germany inside. They had made it clear for a whole months now they were hoping to extend august mind and that they wanted him to stick around through 2026. But it did seem relatively unlikely. And it was also a little unclear going in, you know, going into the tournament, whether or not its the best time to extend your couch before it is by any means or games, given that germany are hosting. Theyve only played from me so far. So its hard to get the best picture of where exactly the teen stands. But i think it was really clear that a lot of buying brass were hoping to bore longest one back, which i dont know if it was always the most realistic plan given the times on which she left the club. And we sort of austin from a club, but i think its really having pressure. Former chelsea and nigeria midfield, and because on o, b has told l to 0, that isnt enough.

You can just say you were looking for some of these. You know what you saw that somebody have one Football Ground and then youre going to find them for live. That doesnt change anything. It still goes on infinity g, new romero because been, you know, show things like that. You know, when i was playing i the same thing as well. You know, when we last game i chelsea, of course by then a social media wasnt as he used to. You know what i mean . And the club reported it today and nothing was on 0. It was done. We just have to ignore it. Like when we put that into the club, the club reported to the effect. Nothing was done. It not completely ignored, nothing happened. And i have to go back the next weekend, try to put a smiley face and continued doing my job. Thats just what it was by then. Of course, right now has been talked about a lot and still, a lot is not done. Now when i see play as go through it, i, you know, ive been there. I know what he feels like, you know, its horrible place to be it until a lot is done by the target is way by. I just, i think did you, i think clubs can punished and i think so pressing. So yes, because now you dont inducting points from from clubs for p, f. S a rules. And you, you can do that when theres been racism towards plays towards human beings. I mean, come on, what are we talking about here . I think a lot a lot more can be done on 10000. 00 on. Youre still going to stop. Im sorry. It will continue. It will continue. We see we can we count if it goes on plan to attempt to is late. What independently, what in the attempt and shape in the, you know, in english it goes on.
