3:06 pm
several children on the floor and the majority behind the w h o and other u. n. agencies are here delivering critical supplies and hospital beds to help alleviate shortages. they're also hoping to support over work doctors and nurses by potentially bringing in emergency medical teams to assist them. but local staff see what they need. the most is safety guarantee. the hospital is currently operating with about 30 percent of the staff that it had just a few days ago. they are seeing, in some cases, hundreds of casualties every day. even though this hospital is under enormous pressure. the one request that the hospital director said is that the international community needs to make sure that this hospital and other hospital stay protected within, not getting strong, that they're not getting back to rated, but they're able to that's the critical message for today. over the weekend,
3:07 pm
the organization said evacuated, more than 600 patients from here, citing quotes, troubling reports of increasing hostilities. well ok, so as described as the most important remaining hospital in the heart of gaza, it's not the only one dealing with critical shortages of both supplies and stuff of the w h o says most hospitals in the gaza strip are not functioning at all the rest are only partially functional at the she for hospital both in, for structural damage to the medical facility. and evacuations of medical staff are making it harder for patients to access medical care. and i'm just trying to identify if i waited a month for the surgery at the chief of hospitals and i've lost most of the use of my hand, it really hurts and i constantly have to take painkillers on the 2nd items that can
3:08 pm
happen to the hotel. to w h o says it is already cancelled supply deliveries for 4th time in less than 2 weeks. it's calling for cease fire and says without safety guarantees its mission will be nearly impossible. and the german foreign minister, i don't mean a bad block has called for greater protection of gaza civilians during her diplomatic tour of the middle east. it's her 4th visit to the region since the october 7th attacks. today she visited a palestinian village in the west bank. here's what she had to say after meeting people there. and this is why we are calling on this riley government to not look away, run radical set loss of threatening policy and young people to take up their obligation of protecting palestinians living here on their own territory. and we are here because we want to underline that's
3:09 pm
a 2 state solution. meaning that people can live freely and security and indignity in gaza and also in the west. your roland is of high importance and the westbank is a high end fortune. for the future of pros, it's riley's and policy. and earlier i spoke with correspond to tanya kraber and jerusalem. i asked her about the biggest issues in the west bank as the german foreign minister visits, palestinians there guessing this was one of the biggest issues here of what we've been hearing this morning. but of course she, the gym for a minister and a bad bar code was also holding towards the with kind of seeing officials in my, my love. but she made a point in visiting a village in the occupied west spring. the palestinian village, such as close to is rarely settlements there and we could see her, you know, talking in length about the impact of such a violence by extreme is really settlers on palestinians living there. she said
3:10 pm
that it's as well as duty to protect them and it also public students have a ride to live in peace and security in the area. she will. so again, be heard of the criticized settlement of building or the expansion of settlements, which is seen as a leader under international by most of the international uh community. so this, of course comes on the backdrop of a more incidents that have been recorded since at least the beginning of the divorce into october 7th. the terra tech's there in the occupied westbank by extreme is such a violence by is really human rights organizations. and also by united nations, and that has resulted in the injuries of property damage and also displacement, especially among the hurting and bedroom communities and the occupied westbank. tanya,
3:11 pm
how about the situation and also because after meeting with this really officials yesterday, the german foreign minister also said that it was, and i'm quoting here, increasingly clear that the israeli army must do more to protect civilians in gaza . then she called for a less intensive operation. how likely is the is really government likely to, to listen to that call from what i think you have to see um, you know, germany. i mean, she also reiterated, of course, uh that uh, germany is standing side by side with israel and that is rather has the right to defend itself. uh, as since october 7th attacks. so that is of course what she said as well. but she also, and i think there we see a slight change also in what uh, germany is saying that comes along with you also here from the united states and at least been hearing that and uh, the us secretary of state identity blinking is also in the region that more needs
3:12 pm
to be done uh to protect public opinion civilians and to get more 8 into gauze and the what impact does that have, which is still to be seen, germany has increased its humanitarian assistance. but of course, also as the united states that have not called for a food ceasefire as of yet. sonya cramer, interpersonal, and thank you. as here are some other stories making news around the world. hope francis has said that israel's military campaign in gaza has caused quote in onyx of an exceptionally grave humanitarian crisis and inconceivable suffering for the civilian population. short speaking of his yearly address to diplomats, the pontiff also called for an immediate cease fire on every front and describes the mos october 7th attacks in israel as an atrocious act of terrorism and extremism kind of wings, particularly convicted terrorist. andrews free back is once again suing norway over
3:13 pm
his jail conditions. he is asking for to end his isolation in prison, saying that it violates his human rights. the far right extremist killed 77 people, many of them teenagers in a bombing and a shooting rampage in norway in 2011 a roadside bomb and north western pakistan has killed at least 6 people. the officers were assigned with guarding health workers conducting a polio vaccination campaign. the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack. bangladesh, as prime minister has been re elected following a vote. the country is opposition branded, a sham. the opposition boycotted the election after has seen or refused to set up an independent commission to oversee it. prime minister shake, i've seen his ruling party, won the vast majority of seats in parliament to secure
3:14 pm
a 4th straight term and power. these residents in bangladesh is capital deca, frustrated off to 15 years of shade casinos leadership. they were hoping to change any of us. and then we'll be looking at the leg. it doesn't matter if i don't know if it's in this election on the new, but it's a false of an election. you say food where a low to buy that you never know like a national election to me. why? and i don't want to know that what the, what the, the government needs to get inflation on the control. it's crazy, you know, and i also have to lower texas and provide help to pull people. we don't want anything else, no matter who is in power of the if it was an election mode by controversy in violence. the main opposition bangladesh and nationalist party, branded the elections has shown the bmt held mass protest ahead of the
3:15 pm
election, untold that support. as the boy called the vote, they insist that has seen his crux donald politically rivals ensured that heavy election was a foregone conclusion. casino dismissed this criticism and defended her goals that the re elected leader miss. busy i have nothing to say those never to my own release or the design. i view that stuff on the left. the boy coaches the election by the b and p was one of the reasons that vote to turn out was much lower than to the previous selection. but the smaller number of people
3:16 pm
who did vote ended up tightening his seeing his grip on power assigned to michael coleman. as the deputy director of the age of program at the wilson center in washington, d. c. i asked him if he agrees with the bangladesh government's assertion that the election was free and fair. i don't, um, by definition, it's very hard to have a fair election when the main opposition party does not participate. and you know, you look at who was participating in this election be, besides the ruling party. there was one other, a political party that's fairly prominent, but it's certainly align with the ruling party. then there were a small number of other opposition parties that are quite weak. and then there are a bunch of independent candidates there that are align with the ruling party. so essentially the ruling party was running against itself. i don't see how you can call that a free and fair election, not to mention the climate that played out in bangladesh in the weeks and months before the election, which presented a non level playing field. that quite frankly,
3:17 pm
made it difficult for any party wanting to oppose the ruling party to mount via a my viable campaign. so, i mean, but the, you know, how is this any different from the last elections? first of all, and 2nd of all, you know, with bangladesh looking like a deeply divided country, what does it mean for the prime minister? his ability to now govern as well. it's very different from the previous selection because the previous election in 2018, the main opposition party that the n p did participate. and it was uh though that was an election that was widely viewed by international observers as rig because the ruling party got about 96 percent of the vote, which is quite a lot um, so as it was quite different, it in fact that's one reason why the b and p decided to boycott the selection and thought that it made a mistake the last time to run an in a, in an election against the broader backdrop of the system that it believe to be read what this means for shake the scene and her governance moving forward, i think that there's
3:18 pm
a key challenge here for the political environment on the whole community. very tends to be in t is very angry, very aggrieved, never one of the selection that happened the way it did. so i think that for sake of seeing a big challenge will be managing the risk of unrest and political violence. the 2nd big governance challenge for her is the economy. it's been sputtering, inflation debt has been rising, and she's gonna have to be very careful with that because she is always state or claimed to be a successful leader on the fact that she presided over significant levels of economic growth. and yet that's now coming into doubt. okay, so that's the situation domestically. um, what is the election mean when we talk about geo politics? the broader region, for example. i mean, you're speaking with us from washington as well. i mean, the 1st thing is very notable is that within hours after the election result was declared to the ambassadors of india, china and russia all um, congratulated shake casino and that reflects something important that really all of them may then the non western major powers in the world are very happy to work with
3:19 pm
her in contrast to the us and other countries in the west. that of course, that express concerns about democratic backsliding in the dash had called for free and fair elections are likely to be disappointed. but i think there is that question about how the west respond, particularly the us. it does have the capacity to hit that card with trade sanctions, which would be devastating for bangladesh given that the west and particularly the us are key. a key destination for bangladesh has exports, but even the western countries you bangladesh is a strategic the strategically significant state being in the middle of the, in the pacific region. that's the kind of key battle ground for india, china competition. so i think even the west will be careful, i might think twice before deciding to respond with harsh policies. michael, google men, deputy director of the age of program at the wilson center. thank you. thank you. farmers across germany have gone a week long strike to protest the government's plans to cut agricultural fuel
3:20 pm
subsidies. lawmakers have already rolled back that decision after weeks of angry demonstrations. protest planned for the next 7 days include rally use that will disrupt traffic in several regions. a procession of tractors is expected to block off a central road here in berlin. as farmers bring their frustrations to the government store stuff, dw political corresponded. matthew moore has more from the brand number gave here in berlin. so yes, 0 this out and they paralyzed the streets here around the parliament building. and the brandenburg gate there's are, i've 600 truck totes that are choking up the street beside me. 5 years of farmers, but not just farmers. a lot of other supporters who have come along to express this solidarity with the farm and community. and i'm really from, from the north sea to the bavarian mountains. farmers are forecasting across the country. they're choking up fluids. they are protesting oversight, local parliament buildings. the blocking multiple ways and in some cases, train lines and really an attempt to create maximum disturbance to,
3:21 pm
to bring more attention to their flight for space a is a tough one because they say that they are the worst off farmers in europe in terms of the subsidies that they get on the support to get from the government. they say the overburdened and what's important is that they see that there's a, we've called coal and that it can continue. and so they even know so we can pull tests. the today is the 1st day and then a week's time, the bigger demonstration than the one behind me here in berlin. so i don't think that's the end of it. they say that they're outraged by the federal government's plans to reduce agricultural subsidies, but um, you know, matthew, to put that into context. some of the measures have already been rolled back after protests last week. so, you know, just walk us to where we're just being stand right now. yeah that's, that's right, 0. and what's striking about this is the, this on risk that's on, often has came around rather suddenly the government on august a series of measures to scrap subsidies for diesel fuel and some other am
3:22 pm
allowances that farmers receive. and essentially that the unrest was so swift as a load. the backlash was so great that the government said, okay, we will slow down the changes, all will scrap some of them. but the government and the fox or the farmers unions. i'm said, hold on a minute, a still not good enough, a delay is still the future. and so what they said enough is enough. our situation is, is far too precarious to allow that to happen. what's interesting is that this has now become a point for white or on rest in the country. i would say there's deep the government here and the lender is deeply unpopular. and a lot of people have seen this fall of a full test on we sympathize with the farmers and they come along to show their support of people with tv. and most of they'll tentative motives are also kind of right hanging onto the full tests. and so it seems to kind of reflect away the new change in the country and that was nothing more speaking with me earlier from the center of berlin. now the 1st us moon landing mission in more than half
