the, the, this is the, the news live from ballot thousands of tractors and trucks, gabba and germany's capital germany som, is holding a final demonstration in the capital ad across the country that protesting against plans through comp, agricultural subsidies. even though the government has already withdrawn some also, it has no end in sight. as the israel hum, oswald pauses the hundreds de la garza thomas swan health ministry says at least 6, the people not been killed in overnight strikes by these very the military and taiwan president elect vows to defend the island. again, it's for,

it's from china in its victory speech, live, same day, says he'll safe god, taiwan against what he calls intimidation from page it was a whole kind of game robertson brands, homes in iceland, the lava has reached the fishing community of green, the vic consuming several building the, i'm gonna have it off as well. come to the program. and we stopped here in berlin with thousands of tractors and trucks of converge on the german capital as angry farms protest against carson agricultural subsidies. and increasing regulation organizes expects up to 10000 people to participate in mondays, riley, which concludes a week of protests across germany, including the blockade of motor away own wraps, the demonstrations of topped into a ground swell of dissatisfaction in german society.

this and drawing me now from those protests, vertical correspondent, a mess you more about mess you won't have farm has been telling you about why they are angry. god, it's difficult to hear you right now because he decided behind me as you can see the speeches of the gun on this morning. as far as the farmers took 2 dogs more to find the bug dig auditors to see some of them. and they say that the diesel subsidy cost, so really the, the straw that comes by the door, it's about much more than the job. it's about a complete disregard the dc, the government has for people who walk in on the field. so obviously that essentially policy to be with environmental protection are really high minimum wage and comparison to other

european countries that these things combine combined with who's on how to do to make it really difficult for montgomery for obviously the ultimately, the government has to, we call out usually the government needs to wake up. some of the measures have already been rolled back. so why is it not enough for the farm? is that way? well, yeah, well the government, that's what the government has, the concerns of the farmers associations and said look, we will abandoned some of the changes, but the cost of these are subsidies. we're gonna, we're gonna continue with the garage and we're going to start off by 2025 pharmacy . if is hold on a minute. if i don't know if you would even consider the big nose and you know, we have the rising cost of living in germany, inflation is high for

a new session. and i will say this is, this is not before 11, which is the 1st awesome supplement. tell me is hodges, this is an ultimately, it's been, it's, it's accused of, i'm fighting, circling. well, people are struggling to defy. do these protests really mean a threat? so the stability of germany's coalition government well, you see fit to bind it to the finance minister. this young lady is going to address the call them i'll be getting very interested to see the kind of a section who gets because in the past, when the green foxes little stuff or i just hope to see you this hold a freight. so he was good people, so support for the government to really kind of leave the whole. so

i'm working on that very passionate and you can sense that when you speak to them. so i think that if this continues to grow and the government doesn't find the solution on roots or compromise the pharmacy, they're ready for one. but we'll see. and then there is a potential that more and more people join the filters. they already, i spoke to a couple of women who came the law. they live in dallas. obviously the farmers are basically speaking on our behalf. so they've got the consent for most of the higher costs. and so for market share, so it's a government doesn't need to handle and this guy didn't correspond at msu a more reporting from the farmers protests that in ability. thank you very much. my see so how serious is the gentleman government's proposed cost to agricultural subsidies? dw is called hi, i'm book visited a dairy farm know from the, in the state of brown books to find out of every machine not pay the kinds farm and

the hoffer long district. the berlin is powered by a diesel engine to manage as a business with 1000 tech. there's a farm land, and $170.00 derek house. when he refuses 5 tractors, it gets expensive. this tractor has a full 180 liter tank. so far he has received around $0.21 per liter, as a refund from the government being blowing into 20, we use 820000 leaders of diesel per year. so to us this diesel refund was worth around 25000 bureaus from 20000 will start to but the subsidy was supposed to be gradually reduced and discontinued by 2026. what kind of a farmers don't want to accept that and not protesting nationwide? like here in the hospital and region and they've had some success. the government

is signaling to meet some of their demands. although for many, it's not quite enough yet. on this, the does not raise them. i see in our family how tough it is to keep our business running for me. and if you don't have additional income, it becomes increasingly difficult to go. if we lose the subsidy, now i really don't know how will make ends meet since may be something. you're gonna have to have on the younger generation is afraid, many are asking, will we even get a job later on if the law is implemented as planned? that's why i'm here to protest. i can give the percent agriculture subsidies, a common place. german farmers receive around $300.00 euros from the you budget per year and tech. tar. but the diesel subsidy is just a small part of it. and yet every penny counts, say farmers, they fear they won't be able to compete internationally. currently only 3, you countries have higher taxes on agricultural diesel than germany. but 18 countries have lower taxes. german farmers feel disadvantaged. you have for the t

and ones that we produce our product, such as, right, we barley, winter rapes seed at world market levels. there is a world market price. and if we have a production disadvantage due to the lack of diesel reimbursement, we cannot compete any more last night. and then can you really come within, say, pull that cn no future without us? that's what the farmer say. there are around 250000 farms in germany. most of them have participated in the protests over the past few days. that's have a fixed now at the headlights from around the world or the german economy. frank last year that's according to government data published on monday, it's mainly due to rising energy prices and high interest rates. also cooling for in demand for machines and other products. took that total on your ups export,

joined dozens of migrants, have been rescued by spanish authorities off the coast of the canary islands in the atlanta expenses that last year. well, over 139000 people from west africa to reach the islands, hoping to start a new life in new york in union, according to experts more than 6000 people died last year, while attempting the dangerous crossing. is there any forces of shelves, southern lebanon, following a miss ellen sack on northern israel by the hezbollah militant group, which killed 2 civilians. in addition, israel says it has killed 3 militants who crossed into the country to carry out an attack. has with us, is it launch 8 operations in the area gauze? how most run health industries is at least 60 people not been killed by overnight strikes by israel. more than a 100 days off. the homeless carried on to october 7, turbo tax israel's offensive and goes up. it shows no signs of slowing more than

a 1000 has now killed more than 24000 people. that's according to the almost health industry. the fighting has also displaced nearly 85 percent off causes population. and israel, the 100 day was marked with more calls for the release of hostages, a mouse which is designated a terrorist organization by germany. the u. n. t. us released a video of 3 is really all stages on sunday. meanwhile, israel's closest ally, the us says it's the right time for as well to scale back it's operations involves as well that spring and dw correspondence rebecca ridge as of joyce's from jerusalem. rebecca, the us is growing ever more critical. that simple drag zone. well, it's real change, it's fancy g. and if so, how well it's difficult to really get an understanding of what the next moves full. the is really military. are they very reticent obviously to talk about

the game time, but we know that israel has been coming on the well increasing international pressure, certainly with protest across the globe. really cooling for a ceasefire and a full size polls coming from some world leaders now as well. those calls largely being ignored by as well. but as you just mentioned, of course, the calls are getting louder from it's a storm just ally. the us that is really trying to put a bit of pressure on israel to try to get it to move in to what is cooling the next phase of this war. and what they've indicated they'd like to see is what i'll do is to kind of pull back from this sort of full scale ariel bombardments in this full scale round a operation. and i move something towards something that looks more like targeted assault. so, you know, taking in special ops team is much smaller and much more sort of dedicated teams to try to complete. they will range of course, rounding out amounts, militants and, and, and making it unable to, to operate as any kind of threat towards israel. of course,

also searching for the many hostages, the model, $100.00 hostages, that are still in as well. we haven't seen many indications yet, but that is actually taking place. we have seen some sole just being pulled out of guns that from the ground operation. and we have heard was certainly in english to hold the international media from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that that is a pulling pulling back and slowing down and moving into a new phase is on the cards. or we have not seen many indications of it actually being carried out yet. god did responded rebecca, which is the reporting from jerusalem. thank you very much. rebecca. as israel continues to pursue its military campaign against hamas and gaza, diplomats have been discussing different scenarios for cause of future off to the conflict is over. but this widespread disagreements about what the day often would look like. even within these relative south shuttle diplomacy, us secretary of state antony, blinking, just spent a week in the middle east,

hustling from capital to capital consulting with israel and other allies. he laid down some ground rules for a post war scenario. and so these readings i was also crystal clear, palestinian civilians must be able to return home as soon as the conditions allow. they must not be pressed to leave does not everyone in the is really government degrees too far? right? ministers have called for renew the settlements in gaza and for other countries to absorb palestinian refugees. defense minister, you have got loud, put forth his own vision. earlier this month, he said no is rarely civilians would be in gaza. golan said guys, our residents are palestinian, and therefore a palestinian bodies will be in charge with the condition that there will be no hostile actions or threats against the state of israel. he stressed israel would maintain overall security control and gaza. that plan has not been backed by other

members of the cabinet or by prime minister benjamin netanyahu for them to come up with so much disagreement. what does everyone actually want in postwar? garza is real one security from attacks and says there should be no role for him. us the us and saudi arabia want the palestinian authority which governs the west bank to also run gaza in the united palestinian government. the saudi say they want to normalize relations with israel, but that depends on the establishment of a palestinian state. in the us and saturday proposals face significant obstacles. one is the unpopularity of the p, a among palestinians. it's liter maximum that boss is extremely unpopular. recent post put him at 11 percent and how mazda is popularity has grown since the war started to netanyahu has rejected a role for the p a as well. but he's agreed to one key us demand as well as no intentional, permanently occupying gaza,

or displacing that civilian population as well as finding how much terrace not the palestinian population. netanyahu has however, repeatedly dismissed the possibility of palestinian statehood. now has got someone to assist with doctor julia norman. she is an associate professor and politics and international relations as university college london has also ult at several books about the palestinian political resistance and is currently writing a book on contemporary history. in gauze i left to norman, hold title, would you gave me the car in check in gauze us history. where i live in one of the only ones that we can use right now is, is crisis. obviously, this crisis started on october 7th for menus rallies, but the way that the war has been conducted cents has just really been an unprecedented level of, of prices for guys ends not only in the casualty rates that we keep hearing going up every day in the headlines, but also of course the displacement,

the rising rates of famine, of health concerns and just to complete devastation of infrastructure and a society that i'm just gonna be very difficult to rebuild from afterwards. right now of course, there's only 2 words about crisis expands and even throughout the region and, and all these cases of course are just having the most effect on, on civilians and all of these communities. and that some is going to be very difficult to recover from. now the count will erupt. that, of course, of to how mazda talk, the israel on october 7th. did you see signs of this escalation earlier? well, obviously we everyone who follows israel palestine conflict. this is not on you the 1st time that we've seen an episode, but the scale of the episode on october 7th, the scale of the attack i would say, was surprising and was rather unprecedented. with that said, there has been ongoing tensions between israel and gaza for decades, and especially between israel and him. us over the last 15 years, we've seen a series of what are often called the gods, a wars on starting in 2008,

2009. i know they're very significant, one in 2014 and other considerations as well. some of those in hindsight are i'm much more smaller scale don't we're seeing now, but a similar sense of i'm moving in from israelis perspective for security concerns, trying to go after her mass, but at the same time, devastating many civilian communities and infrastructure and in the meantime, and so all these things i would say had been building for, for quite a while. now let's talk about guys, off to the wall. we've seen several options that are on the table there in our report. what do you think it will look like? it's extremely difficult to see that right now. as the report noted, there are different options that had been put forward as a result of a anthony blinking shuttle diplomacy. last week we have seen, we'll commitment actually from numerous partners in the region to assist with the reconstruction. but that's predicated on the idea that there will be some kind of

pathway to palestinian statehood and not something that is real is just simply not going for right now. the us we'd like to see some role for the palestinian authority if the governing body in the west bank has also been noted, they are extremely weak and have very little little bit generous, see on publicly. so i think we'll probably see a couple of different phases after the war and my sense is that israel will maintain a security presence for quite a while, probably some sort transitional government after that. but the real question is, if there's actually going to be some real substantive change that gardens wants to palestinians want, that could actually lead to some kind of state heard that would actually address some of the deeper roots of the complex. do you see any circumstances under which this state home may still happen? i think it's very difficult to see that right now at the same time, any time we do have a crisis like this, we do try and look at it as an inflection point. can this somehow change the status quote and at least get us talking in new ways about state heard about

a 2 state solution, these kinds of models that honestly have been on the table for quite a while now, but have not had the momentum. i think we can maybe talk about a, a 3 to 5 percent chance of that as compose to oppose to a one percent chance before all this to it's still very slim, but i do think it's important to note the fact that the us, the policy and you the story, most partners in the region, most air of states are now talking seriously about that. and it's a real question of what that might look like on the ground and what kind of buying it can have. most importantly from palestinians and israelis. dr. julie norman, them, and they say, so sharing your expertise with us. thank you. i'm going to taiwan now, which is losing one of his few remaining diplomatic allies. the government does not root very small pacific island states and all of these. so for australia, say it only recognizes taiwan as big a part of china, not the separate country, but j as well come to the diplomatic switch. the novel flag has now been removed

from the diplomatic culture in taiwan. it comes to as days of to tie when they like to the new president's china claims the island as its own territory with no right to establish ties on the state level. that's a position disputed by taiwan. all right, now let's get more of from the w husband and james chase and type page james tom on his last another allied this, this into a more diplomatic, isolated future for taiwan on the late same day. well 1st of all, just to emphasize the timing of this decision from now or this decision has been taken just days off. the tie, one really likes it, the routing policy, the democratic progressive policy for historic, so time on saturday. and now on the 1st working day back off to the election, we've had bought secession of diplomatic ties. this is a policy that the p p. the paging despises it openly,

refuses to communicate with it. and i think while this demonstrates is the strategy that we're seeing from china, of a applying diplomatic pressure to tie one over the last 8 years, is going to continue onto the new administration under the current president time when we see a tie, one of these tenant diplomats who catalyze, but at the same time it has been able to expand its international ties of unofficial palm, is like the us europe and japan earlier in a press conference with high ones deputy for minnesota. he said that china had specifically use this tongue directly off the election to tie when he's election to make a point to tie one's people. but he also said that time one's democratic opponents would likely see through distrust to you from china, and that they would come continued to sports, ty, ones, democratic future. now what is the j hoping to gain from this? what is important to remember that the strategy, as i mentioned is nothing. can you from badging as a, as i mentioned, this is to,

to not take a strategy of squeezing tie ones. international space has been something they have applied over the last 8 years with ling awaits high ones, diplomatic allies. but it's just one of really a suite of co us as much as amazing applies to taiwan, which includes economic function sometimes on time when he is exports to china. but also in the ministry sphere of course. obviously chinese will play ins. entering sy, ones, i have defense identification, so in, on a daily basis and more recently, chinese balloons flying directly over the high ones main islands. the important points to make here is of course, if that if the strategy, if the aim of the strategy from badging is to put as time when he starts his away from the running costs in a d p which they despise. then the election that we've just seen over the last few days as evidence of that strategy isn't working and not has really important representation. so help aging decides to go forward from here. now a delegation from the us as already arrives in taiwan. what message does the u. s. one to send for this unofficial visit?

washington has been very excited to to emphasize the unofficial nature of this visit. but the, the, the former officials that happen inside one of emphasize that to us support. so if it's high, one isn't broke solid and that's high, one enjoys bipartisan support. and that's what i think the time when he is government will be looking to emphasize despite this loss of a different box, a kind of like because they recognize that when it comes to the private, precise thing. so i want silver in seeing the future against a potential chinese invasion, that if these are the official relationships that they enjoy, but the us, europe and japan, which are really going to guarantee that future w correspondent james say to the reporting from typeface. thank you, james. and we're looking at the us and now we have republicans will vote on monday and the iowa caucuses to determine that presidential norman, a former president. donald trump is way ahead in opinion polls. the close contests

for 2nd place is expected for my north carolina governor nikki. haley is attempting to stay ahead of florida. governor role decided on washington bureau chief enos for is in iowa, and she filed this report of the world is watching the stage and the opposite end of the us to day. it's only hours to wait until the republicans stop caucusing to find out who they want to pick as their parties. frontrunner in the presidential elections. this might be the coldest caucus in history was minus 30 degrees celsius. the big question is, how will this affect the turn, or will people rather stay home in their warm homes instead of going out in congress and which candidate will suffer most? will it be nikki haley? will it be rhonda census or will it be donald trump? or do you say that the republicans care about and to do they like, why and do they like them enough to come out even in this weather?

i think nikki, nikki haley will come in 2nd. if i had to guess it'd be nikki haley, i'm just because she's had the most exposure. she's tough on the border. she doesn't have the extremities of donald trump. she's more rational and she's child number grades. i have a feeling the outcome is going to be overwhelmingly and support a truck. the polls are wrong. we, we often see these polls and they think that the mainstream media is going to be able to decide who's going to be elected. and i've been through a lot of i will caucus is and there's always a surprise that there's a doubt that donald trump will be the frontrunner. the crucial question is a former south carolina governor and nikki haley can finish ahead of florida. governor rhonda dentist effectively ending his run tonight. this would leave republicans, a choice between trump and hailey, and the race for the nomination open to more surprises then initially predict.

before we go, one of thailand's largest illumination festivals has put on quite a show. they display and rocks. a brewery province features 20 different illuminated installations designed to depict time religion and culture is already proving popular with visitors from thailand and many other countries. making their way to the festival, which continues until the end of april, the you're watching dw, and you'll see is a reminder of our top story. germany as far as a holding a series of demonstrations and the capital building and across the country. that protesting against the cops to agricultural subsidies, even though the government has already partially withdrawal. and that's
