the, the, this, the dw do's well either from berlin tonight, israel before the international court of justice. the charge of genocide south africa is accusing is real of breaching the you is genocide, convention allegations that is real calls baseless and riots in pop on new guinea as police go on strike over pay. the prime minister is calling for com, and that's declared a state of emergency to deal with widespread looting. lawlessness in are send the bridge off is good to have you with this,

we begin tonight with the case for and against genocide. the international court of justice in the hate today began hearing accusations of genocide brought against israel by south africa. the case could take years, but today south africa as the court order is real to immediately hold its military operations in gaza. south africa has long supported the palestinians leaking their struggle to its own history of fighting against apartheid for its part is real, had strongly denied the claims calling the accusations baseless israel says it is doing all that can to avoid civilian casualties in gaza as it responds to how much this terrorist attack last october. but south africa alleges, not only is this on true, but the israel's campaign is targeting palestinians with the aim of wiping them out as

a people. and it's more than 80 page filing to the world quotes in the hague. south africa argues accent, emissions by israel, a genocidal in character as they are committed with the requisite specific intent to destroy palestinians in gaza as part of the broad palestinian national, racial and ethnic group. it goes on to say this constitutes a breached by israel, of its obligations under the genocide convention. a document drawn up in 1948 and the aftermath of the whole, the cost which both israel in south africa have signed israel. those states, it has a right to self defense after the bloodiest attack in its history. its officials have renounced with anger to south africa's filing. pointing out that how mosque continues to call for the destruction of the jewish state. israel says it will flank back in the cold to the state of israel will appear before the international court of justice at the hague. to dispel south africa is absurd blood libel. how

tragic. but the rainbow nation that prides itself on fighting racism will be fighting pro bono for anti jewish races. palestinians in garza and the rest of the world, we'd be looking closely at the quotes response to south africa's request. a provisional routing could come within weeks, but any final judgement is expected to take years. the w's diane hawker, in johannesburg told us more about south africa's motivation to bring is real to court, to well considering. so that's because history many into south african government believe that's of africa has a responsibility. not only to ensure that and human rights exist here with insight africa's board is but also to ensure that i'm others who are unable to speak up for themselves and actually have access to

a fee of human rights. one will remember that sub effort cooks is a country that had a long period of segregation and a party. and it's only been 30 years since we've into the democratic dispensation. so the memory of that segregation and those human rights of, you know, violations against the majority of the people of south africa all fresh in the minds of many of africans. and also many of the politicians. and that was really much of the motivation force of africa taking this forward and saying that it would speak up on behalf of the palestinian people. and that he would raise the issues that it's raised in its application at the hague and saying that he does a signatory to the genocide convention. and the for has a responsibility to act. yeah, this is not just about south africa's own history. you were going to tell us about the history between south africa and the palestinians. there is

a shared solidarity history. there isn't there? yes, absolutely. when we look back to, to present a former president, nelson mandela was of africa's 1st democratic president. he had a lot of engagements with depend listing and people, in fact is the, the statute that's erected in ramallah, you know, in, in, in, in support of him and, and sort of thanking you for his, his support and that legacy lives on, in the ruling party and really something that's also taken up by many sub africans of prison, nelson mandela, had said that sub africa won't be free until the people of palestine a fleet of free. and that's also because the palestinian people and they need is for a long time supported the liberation movement here in south africa. and there's a feeling that's of africa should return that favor. what about domestic south african politics here is, is there some political capital to be won by doing this for the politicians in

south africa? well there's a, there's a bit of a, a divide, i would say in the political landscapes, they are a number of politicians who are in support, whether they would or within the routing party or outside. but they also awesome who feel that is a mistake, and that's of africa is entering an area where they should not, for example, the african christian democratic movement, the cdp they have said that's of africa should have rather taken the position of mediating and they are, there is quite a lot of support on the streets of sub africa. we have seen some demonstration, for example, today, outside the high court in cape town. we ordinary people, people from different faiths and also members of the legal community came out in support of the school and you know, demonstrating in, in support of the palestinian people. and in support of the south african government stick to go to the international court of justice. okay,

corresponded diane offer me the latest from johannesburg and not diane. thank you. were germany's vice chancellor. robert, how big is it? is real today. he hit back against the genocide charges brought by south africa minus his industry. and my personal and political opinion is that one can criticize these really military from using harsh measures in the gaza strip. however, that does not constitute genocide, took a more to pick those who would commit genocide or desire to do so. if given the opportunity are her muscles low shrunk, still not elation of the state of israel is on their agenda from the rest. so we can understand the slogan from the river to the sea as not to meaning the jews should leave israel by boats, but as an extinction fund to say, allison accusing israel of genocide is a complete distortion of victims and perpetration as in my view. and it is just wrong for an upfront on 2 ton, the 2 on the size of hutch that was the german vice chancellor of speaking earlier

a new president. javier malay has backed off on his election promised to replace the country's pace with the us dollar in an attempt to revive the struggling economy. despite his bank tracking and run away inflation, the opinion polls showed strong public support formulae. this market was founded in point of cyrus in 1889 a year before one of the many economic crises in argentine as history. now at the store, it's a copy of a lease term, and office prices are rising sharply, but at least 70 percent in the case of b, realty sent it is the election campaign on a promise to replace the pay. so with the dollar, which is the 1st move has been to define you, the pay stubs by hoff, the majority of the population still supports him. yeah, and even without that, this is a burden for us, but get rid of the government because the important thing is we picked out the rats . it was that before and panic and went to the level that i can tell them just

a way. and we, i've, i very much agree with what she's doing now. i don't agree with him changing the currency, but unfortunately on pace. so it was devalued many years ago. so this isn't just a recent thing that would, i don't mind that the lowly, everything costs twice as much, but it most to be expected. so we'll just have to deal with it. but a lot of the results will be seen in the long term. so no say one though, i don't know when dollar eyes ation will be possible. no, i don't see it in the immediate future. but it's what the people chose is the newest offering. she know gives management advice to small and medium sized enterprises. these days he's been consulted to define prices in the face of rising cost, a dozen times of basic expenses, but we'll still going to restaurants. they'll send him as he voted from like nothing the 1st round. but in the 2nd, i think there's

a need for order and i voted for him from that point of view. i think that society as a whole should give him a grace period, which would be, i don't know, 6 months. we're waiting for a client to file or for the free reduction, but we also believe that this is a time of great time set in 2 professional inputs is going to add value economist mathias that explains why malay rules out adult, sing dollarization at the beginning of his government and adopted an orthodox mix of devaluation and fiscal adjustment to straighten out the price of the economy you inherited from the previous government. it all went out, but it was a very effective combat improvements because it was very disruptive and that allowed them to fill the political agenda need to go. but practically speaking, it was technically impossible to adopt a dollar immediately because the central bank doesn't have the reserves set off in order to boost reserves. bikes bolting morning, posting less the pay. so was the valued. but the government terrified that the objective is still dollarization as the ones that this complicates the plans to me

and i'll see you standing. and if they keep insisting that the end goal is to change the color and see the time will never come when people will really demand pay stubs. and that'll be ottoman database. so i'm like an open economy, so we'd love inflation. in argentina, evaluations, bring shop price increases, and then initial dropping activity. if all goes well, it's still recovery will take half a year. for the worlds, because elvis presley festival is underway, down under checking in with wearing elvis fans gathered and see the central station to show the burning love for the king and the been boarded. the elvis express bound for a small town in the outback. 25000 eldest enthusiasts were inspected and put under blue suede shoes and make the pilgrimage to the 5 day extravaganza this your theme is the 1957 film jail health. well,
