thats, they've already been displaced 3 times. this is the story of probably they have a lot most people in bozza where there is no way to go. they are trapped in a small strip of land with no food, no water, no copper health care, no electricity. um, no fuel, uh no telecom and very, very little aid coming in. and even whatever age comes in could never be enough to really meet the needs of an entire and it did as an entire set city that the state . and i'm sorry to hear about the family member there. this is clearly an issue affecting you personally as well. i'm sorry to jump in. i. we are just hearing though, that is, rails military has announced a 4 hour tactical pause in fighting in the south of the gaza strip. and i'm wondering from your professional experience how much you thinks these temporary breaks like this could help 8 workers to do their jobs. of absolutely

nothing for hours to meet the needs of 2 point. 2000000 people were talking about half of which are children. many are sick, many of wounded people. it's, it's, it's absolute chaos. people are fighting for their lives every single day. so 4 hours is this is it's meeting with really is just like the trust, you know, a few, a few weeks ago. and as you maintain organizations were raising the alarm bell on this and how, you know, the 5, the pause is nothing in comparison. so that means that we're seeing, we're see we're talking about almost 60 to 70000 people injured, many of which with extremely traumatic entries. we're talking about people already in hospitals, but also talking about those are the, my parents in law are elderly people. they need a medication for their hearts and, and different kind of things that they can't even get. so it's not just about how

much 8 comes in in 4 hours. it's about a complete permanent ceasefire. an end to the bombing, an end to the war, crimes that we're seeing submitted and a restoration of services. and i'm a proper environment for humanitarian workers to work in utah. and i am an assignment where we would be okay, as you maintain workers to center teams, to deliver at 8 and it's, it's, it would reach, i do the care to our own teams. well, thank you very much for joining us to share your personal experience and, and the work of 8 workers. as israel says it is continuing, it's offensive against a monster that is bushera lady austin's policy lead for the palestinian territories to be very much appreciate your time. thank you. let's take a look now. it's some other stories making headlines. hundreds of dots. climate after vests have blocked a major highway in amsterdam. the protesters are demanding an end to fossil fuel projects financed by the netherlands largest bank. i. n g. the activists ignore the

ban on the demonstration, climbing onto the highway and forcing those to shut down the road. flooded railway tunnels under the river thames. of course, the cancellation of more than a 1000 barrels star trade between london and europe. engineers are working to fix the problem, the euro stars warning of severe delays. thousands of passengers have been less stranded. just thousands of people are protesting and these serve young castle bel grade over alleged fraud. in this month's elections, demonstration comes as rerun votes were held in a handful following stations across the country, president alexander, of which his party won the vote decisively by international observers have reported irregularities. the opposition calling for the results to be thrown out and un secretary general, antonio gutierrez has condemned russia's latest a tax on your trade president will. i'm yours. wednesday says that was 39. people

were chosen fridays. nationwide aerosols the attack inflicted widespread damage to civilian infrastructure as well as industrial and military facilities. rushes as it is, shop down ukrainian, rockets and groans following its biggest aerial assault on ukraine since last year is full scale invasion. the rest of the defense industries of the 13 rockets had been destroyed over the southern del garad region. and according to the local governor, several people were killed, including at least 2 children. russian officials and their defensive shot down more than 30 drones or a number on his post doctoral researcher in the war. so these department atkins, college london and i asked her if you crane's rockets and drones were revenge for rushes, heavy airstrikes a day earlier. a good day. well i, i think it is very plausible to believe that ukraine have to formulate some sort of response and this short window of opportunity. but generally speaking, we have seen attacks from ukrainian territory on dog road. we have seen some

attacks on moscow, most notably in may during the may celebrations. so i think it's a mixture of bows. we have to remember that this is a war. it's not the quid pro cool. one side is not bleeding until, and that's the amount of tax in order to conduct some operations. hello, racing for ukraine. this is important to do it right now to demonstrate this resilience. and to demonstrate that it still has the capability to respond for perhaps not in kind. however, it has to do something to demonstrate the will of ukrainian people to resist the russian aggression in the international era. now where the support for ukraine is waning, looking at rushes, strikes on your cranny, rush, i hit practically every corner of your brain and fridays air attacks. but officials are describing as the biggest since the start of this war did the scale of the

attacks. there comes a surprise at this point in the war as well, perhaps because we haven't seen many strikes of sat scale being conducted. and the 1st one was when the war has started. and so, over the years we have heard that russia is running out of missiles, but as a matter of fact, russia is not running out of missiles and russia has been preparing for this attack . end of november, it has tested cubes. air defenses was for headphones, for instance, and here we're seeing that, especially after the ukrainian attack on, on russian worship. in philadelphia, it was sort of a logical response by russia to target few cranes, military facilities, drayton factories and munition factories. everything that they could locate in warranted to destroy ukraine's capability to conduct such strikes in the future. and we heard of ukrainian air force spokesperson saying that russia has launched

everything. it has including x $22.00 missiles which are extremely hard to intercept. what does that tell you about russia's strategy at this point? well, i think for, i'm sure has stepped up its game in terms of the results it is using in order to evade the western supply. the air defenses, such as a patry of batteries, and i think we also have to understand that the russia has run its capacity to produce missiles. um, there has been many reports from west and sources indicating such and indicating the fact that the russia has managed to circumvent the sanctions in order to get some necessary parts. so we shouldn't be underestimating russian thinking that it. and if mindful and not of missiles quite the opposite, i think that we're likely to see more of so sophisticated missiles to be used in ukraine or a number on thank you. as always for your analysis that is on marina martin from kings college. one thing thank you for having me to. and germany is on high

alert for flooding with heavy rainfall. battering many areas, officials say the situation in the north west is critical as rivers and streams overflow. and in western germany, forecasters of war and that almost a month's worth of rain could fall in the next 24 hours. a landscape of lakes created by the flood waters in the north western states of lower saxony. many communities can now only be reached by boats. and in this village you need rubber boots or an inflatable thing you to guess around what the levels are rising relentlessly. wait a moment because of this. i thought i was seeing things. spend vicky. it's like a swimming pool full of clear water. it's money that is done by someone can you just don't know what to do. surrounding low lying areas are also badly affected. the flood dikes simply giving way under the weight of water. police and
