6:01 pm
next by sir, welcome to the program lava from the volcano which erupt in early on sunday. in iceland has reached the small fishing town of grand evict the lava flows have set some buildings on fire the main road to the town as well as its electricity and hot water supply have already been destroyed by the molten rock. the towns residents were evacuated on saturdays, so there was no immediate danger to life. during the vic is summit 40 kilometers south west of the capital reykjavik put some in green. the vic there may be little to come back to law. they've reached the small town just hours of to residents where evacuated. it's the 2nd time in less than a month. the volcanic eruption has sent local scrambling. the officials rushed to
6:02 pm
get everyone out to have a night of to seismic activity intensified again via the board to other people. we were waiting for an interruption up on the mountain, but not underneath the town, but nobody knows what will happen to me. it is how many thinking authorities had been building holes to protect the town for weeks. but the light, just a russian has sent law the wedding up behind the defences. but the same will be only tens of meters from the town in the same line as the other fisher, this is, and this is of course what we feared that this would continue to open soft words to help them put them off there for this well, molten rock is cutting through roads, water pipes, and the town itself. the rupture isn't expected to cause the kind of huge ash clouds. the ground is lights across europe in 2010. but for residents watching images like these, of the town going up in smoke. that fact will likely provide
6:03 pm
a little comfort for more in this journalist and go sick 1st and joins us from the icelandic capital reykjavik and go dramatic pictures. we've just been seeing there and the lava from the volcano, a russian is still flowing. what more can you tell us now as well, that's pretty much the situation right now. the level is slowing very slowly, which i suppose under the circumstances a given that it's flowing into time is a blessing. it has only cost to building so far, which certainly seems amazing given that lava is feeling out of the ground mirror meters away. but it's slow and the geologist that the the iceland, the guy in the scientific decisions that are monitoring good sake, that's of all kind of corruption seems to be balancing out. now the one that we had a couple of weeks ago that one fizzled out fairly quickly within a matter of hours, it was the shadow of what's of this one, the front it seems to be maintaining good strengths. but as i say,
6:04 pm
balancing out and balancing out help me, does that mean is slowing down? is there an end inside here? no, i think that means that they think they won't get any worse, that it won't get any stronger. they say that the but they don't measure as many smaller earthquakes, that would be an indication that the lava isn't sort of forcing the ground a 100 to make room for itself anymore. which could indicate that at some point, this would be, well, this won't take it then, but it's not waning, it's not fading away, not as of yet. but it's, it's, i mean the movements that we see the there is a mountain between the tunnel is going to be going to very well known correspond to the blue mountain. it's called photo theater and, and, and then the hours between the 1st cleaners that are worth but we're around 23 and the 3 o'clock the local time in the morning and the, the russian starting at h a g p s. measurements shows that the mountain moved by 20 centimeters when,
6:05 pm
when most newton's move, you know, something is going on. certainly an angle of we're saying anti level walls around the fishing town have been built in the last weeks because of the seismic activity . did these walls help to prevent further damage in any way? they did to an extent the fisher actually managed to break through. so the, the picture itself is not just the level flow of, but generally they seem to have helped steer the flow of the lava away from the, into the gun critical infrastructure. granted, the, they manage to strike the main hot water pipe to the town. and the electricity is out, but for the time being they seem to have done a decent job of steering love at the end, the other direction. and then at least providing some of the damage that we're seeing otherwise would have happened. so that's definitely a plus and something i'm sure that people will be trying to replicate as joe and just tell us this isn't the last option that we'll see in the coming months and years. and what's it like for people who have to live through these direction?
6:06 pm
i think this is iceland, this or option in 2 years or? yeah, well, you'll just tell us that were the entering a new era in iceland, big sort of deal geological history. which means that we'll see more craigs and hurts and russians. we're really close to where i'm living and the way to read out . so why we use the saying that where's that i'm used to this, that does seem that we're entering and that other will have to get a little bit adjusted to that will be different from what we have seen. we're used to sort of what our trucks and every few years, every few weeks. that's certainly something you so much comfortable. it's not an immediate threat to anyone except people are going to be cool as you mentioned to the left. but it's, it's, it's not comfortable, but certainly can imagine it being unsettling. living next to volcano, journalists in go 6 percent in reykjavik. thanks so much. and we turn to the middle east now where the war between israel and how mass has
6:07 pm
reached is 100 today, the fighting interrupted after the is on this militant group launched a terrorist attack on israel on october. the 7th. israel responded with air strikes on the ground invasion of the guys a strip since then the tool has been devastating around 1200 people, including 520 soldiers had been killed on these really side. most of them on the 1st day making october 7th, the deadliest day since the founding of the jewish state. the mass run health ministry and gather, says almost $24000.00 palestinians have been killed. any of the women and children is rarely military says more than $7000.00 of the dead are militants. the u. n says at least 300 palestinians have been killed in the west bank. israel's military campaign has damaged or destroyed around half of gas as buildings and displaced almost 2000000 people. so that means railways have doubts about the way the war is being carried out. but israel has vowed to press on with its military campaign to
6:08 pm
eliminate from us for the people of garza, the last 100 days had been nothing short of a disaster. the money of loss, not just that homes, livelihoods, and loved ones. but also any hope that life can ever return to normal. so we're kind of tragic to catastrophic, indescribable situation. everyone's will thousands of boxes and wounded. those who would not multitude with wounded to show that he wasn't wounded or had the home destroyed. those who didn't lose their homes, what is place? no one in gaza has been on touched by the conflict. this family say they used to be wealthy, but like thousands of other gardens, they've been forced to flee. and now they're making pastries to survive. couldn't that? hey, i shouldn't get 100 days ago. we were living in power dice on
6:09 pm
a band. we have buildings, houses, and possessions. we enjoyed a wonderful luxurious life since the thoughts of the will. we brought everything, a homes of possessions. everything in israel to the pain is real. despite efforts to trace it away at this rate in tennessee, it's one of a number of events taking place to mount the 100 day. since the terrorist attack to plead for the return of the mold, a $100.00 hostages still being held in garza, including one of the youngest, opt up tease it's prostate, both direct, something to freedom from the come us to bring him and his family best to is rather, to celebrate the best day with his family. is it possible? as well as government says it will push ahead with its campaign until the hostages of being returned. and this other war aims have been achieved,
6:10 pm
including the elimination of how most of the threats it poses to the jewish state are. joining me out for more on this is our middle east analysts, jenny, it resent us from shani 100 days of war, thousands of dead to 1000000 people displaced. what. what are your thoughts on this green milestone? well, it's great and you know, the last 100 days of brought no relief or any joy to anybody in the region. i mean is really, is, are certainly coming to the reckoning that there won't be any victory. there won't be a moment of happiness coming up. you know, even today's aware that we've seen the hostages, that were some of them will release word some, some relief. but there was ever joy. there was a remembrance of those who were left behind and the facts if there's a lot of ground still to cover. and in the palestinian side we're just um, you know, the station, the horror or the, the desk told this are, these numbers are unbelievable. we're talking about one percent of the population of cause or that is gone and there's no turning back. and there's an understanding
6:11 pm
in the region that it's not going to be so easy to go back to october 6. you know, the needs to be a fundamental change to bring things back to some sort of no mountain normalcy is for both sides. and if i could just focus on a small group, the hostages who are still in gaza and their families, how much are the families changing policy in israel? they're forced to be reckoned with. well, we're talking $136.00 of them. i'm. yes, they are big part of the, of the public opinion in israel there's, there's a lot of solidarity. there's a need. there's an understanding of mine is really, is our government have failed our army. they failed in fields fulfilling the most basic duty which is protecting people who were kidnapped from their own homes. we're talking about babies. the youngest we've, we've seen is going to, is just turned one year old a week ago. so of course, there's an understanding that needs to be repaired, they need, they need to be brought home in order to have this uh,
6:12 pm
this packed between the country and its, the citizens are still valid. is what do you say? how can you trust the government without knowing that everything is done to bring people back at the same time? there's oh, well, so very strongly to push forward tend to defeat from us. so maybe bring to that moment when you hear some sort of a change when you feel that how much is defeated, you know, we're seeing a lot of defiance within a lot of resistance from us. i don't think this one which is going to come, and there's a feeling that if we need to bring the hostages and it means stopping the war, there's a lot of fear of what it means for being able to eliminate the threat to come us pauses for israelis, and it seems like the, the goals that is, will have set for itself, both eliminate and come us and bringing back the hostages. these are clashing and as going understanding that they not can not, you know, they cannot be both achieved at the same time. and yet those are the declared goals of prime minister. but anyhow, it's all right who tell me about the pressures he is under domestically and internationally as well domestically? we're talking about a prime minister even before october 7th was a very devices figure rosario, for quite some time for the 1st few weeks,
6:13 pm
weeks manage to put aside those divisions and, and come together in this, in this dramatic dire moment. but we're already a 100 days and, and there's the suspicion and the hospitalization, or crippling back into the discourse, into the public view, it as well. and as more and more people doubting whether nothing else to choose or not being, being led by the benefit of the country for the benefit whose own political needs. and the longer we'll go, this war will go and the more controversial needs with the steps we need to be taken. these doubts are going to make it things harder. and it to now, because we want to talk about the need, the need changes for the region, the deep changes needed. you need somebody to has wide support and it's in your currently, it's not that person. okay. shaney was on a so the w has been a least allison. thank you roger. the denmark has begun a new chapter in its royal history with king frederick officially taking the throne
