the, the, this is dw news line from bottom in israel floods. how much tunnels in gaza. the army says it's removing to be on the ground stretched by pumping sea water into the tunnel complex. these by is ms. miller since also on the program. ultra nationalist is right at least one to build settlements in gaza when the war is over. the government to publish is the idea. we'll assess whether those plans on realistic another present sentence for pakistan's, former prime minister in round because a one time cricket started his wife to jen for 14 years for corruption. just a day after mister. com was sentenced to 10 years from leaching state secrets. and

this growing support for a possible challenger to russian president vladimir putin on people campaign body's not the engine collects more than a 100000 signatures in the hope of running for election in march the i'm sure. okay, welcome to the program. israel has confirmed that it's policies have been flooding tunnels and the gaza, which it says are being used by how mouse, despite pouring sea water into the tunnel that will be on the says it's ensure in the ground water supplies a not affected experts of previously born that this action could permanently damage drinking water for the temperature is 2300000 residents and in danger. hostages were still being held by him us. so let's look at this with mike mosley. and he's a former british army office and senior fellow in the department of austin is at

kings college funded. welcome back to the w. mike, how does this ro plan to do this? but it's, it's actually very simple. any fire department have any town will have the fire hydrants, the pumps that are able to take the c will. it's obviously garza is on the coast. so there's not a limited supply water. you lay a pipe out to sea with boys. you get a pump and then you stick it into the nearest entrance, the tunnel. many of these tunnels are linked up. so if you fill out one segment, it will the flow and spill into the next segment. and as water levels rise, obviously both will sing down, so the fill up the bottom every the tunnel fuss as it rises, people chops and supposedly the die. oh, they will have to come to the surface which silver see what's the idea these when he defends forces want? so what do you think of this as a strategy? it's i think it's pretty ruthless. i think the appropriate way is that

israel has different to will rooms and they all to destroy thomas. i'm to get the hoss use out and it's really difficult to do one without impacting on the other. so this really is the perfect example of that. so as you feel these tunnels and we can speak about whether it's an effective military tax, they can mean it should flash most people out. the problem is, of course, most of the hostages, that how much is keeping all of a sudden they're going to be in the tunnels and they're going to be quite deep down in the tunnel system cuz thomas wants them to stay alive. and so, is vital is achieving one of his wor, objectives, but making it impossible to inside the office. and she is 4 objects when it comes to getting the hostages back. so we are, of course, is about making tough choices. but as you say that the, your top, the to top priorities that seem to be in contradiction. so total cost through the calculation, the military plan is make the, the military gains against, as you say,

possibly killing the very people whose rescue is supposed to be your top priority. so i think, i think probably there's, there's 2 things where the one is an end of it. i'm just laying these out as options here. one is that actually the purpose of the war is to destroy how much on the secondary objective is to get the hostages. back we have some evidence that the beginning of the war mess and you'll, you'll probably have to be reminded that it was about getting the hostages back. and we have seen a number of hostages killed g. 2 is really minutes reaction. the only time hostages were released was during the period of the ceasefire before christmas. and then the, the other option is these all idea of groups think and, and this happens over time and ministries, because ministries everyone's was uniform and they've, under orders. they think the same way, and i think it's often possible and you know, i myself is afraid to the minute trees and i've seen this group think 1st time is

possible to tell you so stories and some of the to stories they might be telling themselves all this is about the know hostages and those tunnels on that so we can flood them. but did i really know what it was? i thought it was. it's a bit like the ground water thing. we can front those titles, the symbols, and we know that it was leach into the ground water. i mean, that seems like a very, very big claim to make and you know, again, i'd like to see the evidence for that. okay, mike, thank you for talking. not us through the fact that clearly as ever like mouth in from kings college is under. thank you so much. a lot of these rooms will cabinet has repeatedly said it does not wants to maintain a civilian presence and gone. so when this war is over, but as a little why, the unity on what might happen in the time entry ultra nationalists want to bill settlements and the time to treat and several members of prime minister benyamin definitely younger is government of joint calls for building to begin air strikes and operations on the ground, as israel tries to root out a mouse from gaza,

death and destruction throughout the strip to hear the conference in jerusalem far right is really settler. organizations are making plans for the day after danielle advice is a settler and activist. the aim of these assembling rings, where they're the people claims that we have to return to the street and establish jewish communities, right? the way it goes to deep area. you need to see if you guys are all over the street, the era we not know the supposed to have miles and those you do not so full time. i don't want to say any way. those kinds of plans are not government policy. prime minister benjamin netanyahu headset, israel does not intend to establish a permanent civilian presence in gaza again. but a number of his ministers were at the conference calling for is really settlements

in gaza, including the national security minister. today everyone understands that retreat brings about war, and if we don't want to know the type of 7, we to return home to garza and control the territory to encourage voluntary emigration to protest any and most stuff about booty of the palestinian national initiative. told the algae 0 a news outlet, that this is not a joke. these are the people who are making the policy in israel and they were calling for the complete ethnic, cleansing of the people of causa. in 2005 is real. evacuated settlements in garza, the largest of which was called goose cut teeth. after a 38 year occupation, the evacuation was framed as a move to improve security. but how mos started firing rockets into israel soon afterwards. building new settlements and cause it doesn't have majority is rarely support for recent poll found 44 percent in favor,

but netanyahu has not shut down his own ministers calls for return. he's just said the plants are not realistic. those calls have been condemned by israel's allies, germany in the us, some of this rhetoric and the language and that, that was attributed to some of these ministers at this event. a irresponsible, reckless incendiary. i go so far as to say, it certainly isn't, doesn't report with our strong policy statement, we have made clear that there can be no reduction in government territory because it's the fact that re settling garza is being discussed at all has rate fears. that the issue has come out of the fringes and will gain legitimacy. meanwhile, danielle advice told dw, she might not wait for permission. she wants to lead a group of settlers to start building and gaza. let's look at the 3 of christine held back, who is an offer an expert on the middle east. welcome to d w. what do you think then we should make of the fact that 12 ministers in

israel's coalition government to attend to this conference despite the wall cabinet saying repeatedly, israel has no plans to settle gaza as there is obviously a split within these are in the government, but we start to make sure to understand that there is an important thing that they all agreed upon, which is that they are not willing to allow the seller and state for the police tenants. so no one of these, what any government is willing to branch, full 70 for the posting is the only disagreement within the government is regarding the issue of occupation and re settlement of the gaza strip. someone to control the security in gaza. but without occupying it and without building this way, the settlements they have this is the official position of been human antonio, and this is the position office defense minister. mr. galant, who made a proposal, saying that he off for a local administration. that is what he wants to build from continue. indeed us who

were present tribes and class without connections. obviously people who don't have any connection to home us. the leadership would like to establish the system and goals are similar to the one that already exists in the west bank, which means dependence tended administration while the is a controller and the security and others. and the government that you have just talked about. they want to use the opportunity to bid reset the settlements in gaza, so the honor different visions. ok, so the union with a minute, but that does a difference of opinion within the government. what i'm trying to get off is, how should we regard such a significant presence of is really government administer at this conference. so it's just part of what you would expect to the rough and tumble of his ready politics, or is that attendance significant as it is obviously significant. and we have to take it very serious because of it as a whole bunch of fields and coverage by the home of the tax of october 7th. and

this creates a big problem, obviously for benjamin netanyahu, because it will be very difficult for him to stay in power. he has to stop these fall right ministers with this settlement plants and gaza to keep the unconditional support of the u. s. he has to make concessions. this is by the way, what the international court of justice has demanded from these way, the government to stop incitement to stop hatred and calls for this placement. and until now, and they turn, yahoo has been rejecting international demands concerning the scales because i'm going to tell me information concerning the excess x of submitted to an age concerning the 2 states and use. and so if he continues like this, i think it will become harder for him to guarantee us military support, which is a life insurance, obviously for his way on the other hand. and this is important if he distances himself clearly from these guys outside of his ministers. this could cost him the support of these far right for this, in part most, they could leave the court this and this could lead to a break of the whole a government for this. and this means new elections. and this will probably mark

the end of his political career. so for the time being that he knows that the only way to state impala is if the war last as long as possible. and this is exactly what be seated on yahoo maneuvering back and forth. and keeping every option open, but at some point i think he has to decide. so just to be for you, are you saying that keeping these cut out well a going as a why is one that is as mr. natalie, i'm seriously considering that as one way to stay in power. yes, because he knows that once this war ends, there will be strong demands for investigations on the responsibility of his government before october 7th. and this quote probably leads to his all sting of uh, from, from to and if you look at the pulse within his way and it's very clear that his coalition would not get the majority by now that has been a recent pull just yesterday. so he really has to,

he's afraid of losing pallet. this is what has been his main goal for over 20 years now. so he has to decide at some point whether he wants to piece his ministers, which, which leads to problems with us or whether he wants to please the international community, which would lead to a break up office culture proselytizing. thank you for talking to us throughout and honestly so clearly christine, have a back thank you. take a look at some of the headlines from around the world. you weren't secretary general antonio gutierrez's stony countries to keep funding. it's agency for palestinian refugees and met with i'm passive this from fuzzy. 5 nations to discuss accusations at some agency stuff. i took part in the october 7th, thomas tamara attacks and several countries including jeremy, have suspended funding spooky rebels in yemen. claims of 5, several of miss houses. the u. s. navy ship in the red sea depends on size. one

missile was intercepted and no damage caused weston and navies of protecting commercial shipping. following a string of attacks by who faced to a box by iran in sweden and object believes to be an explosive device has been found upside ivy is riley embassy and still come unconfirmed. media report say it was a 108. this had been thrown over the embassy fence. please save the defies has been safely destroyed the project down by the former prime minister in run. com and his wife have been sentenced to 14 years in prison for corrupting. this comes a day after a different cost $100.00. mr. count a 10 year sentence for remaining states, a secret. the opposition lady was already serving 3 year term and his bond from standing in next week's election. he says the products of positive thoughts to shut him out of politics and that he will appeal of course that being his job that has

more on what this means for mister. com as well in the time now sort of significant featured in future. uh so basically just converging means that he would not be able to do any but to go to book for a significant period in the future. so definitely it is a big step back for him, rob hon. but it was not something that was not expected. and he is more disturbing a 3 year to do him on good up some charges. and yesterday he was sentenced to 10 years on a on a case that and what i am digging of the secrets. now this gifts and both him and his wife just even stayed gibbs and not getting them by using office. and therefore all of these convictions just before february election definitely are very damaging for him. not hon. would it be, have to see the impact of done when things are indict stored in favor of conditions . a different getting spammed get dropped there. disqualification are also dropped

. but at this moment in the wrong hands, but it does look good to go. it is a big step back for him. finish job. lots of russia, which holds elections in march. it does seem inhabitable, at the present posing will be re elected for a 5th to but it may face a challenge, the liberal i bought a day and have submitted the $100000.00 signatures that needed to register as a candidate. and he will, campaigner is confident that he'll be able to make his case for peace boxes and boxes of signatures. declaring that support for this man for is in the district. and he's a rat and he will voice vladimir putin russia off to formally submitting his candidacy to the election authorities. he made clear again what his campaign is all about, the yeah, the one me, so most of the 2 months ago i wrote the text,

i told him that the students monday 1st to get some thoughts lead to any like these . i am joining the election as an outspoken opponent to obtain comp and presidents of policy. putting has committed a fatal error when he started the special media turning operation. this is what is written there. there is the answer. it's a message that is clearly resonated with the thousands of people across russia who braved freezing temperatures to register that support and engaged in yeah, mike, i'm a mother and have 3 children. the war is terrible. it just has to stop as quickly as possible. yeah, the little boys, i suppose everyone else is even board for john, the devil. as long as something change started, the political analysts, dimitria rush can says the visions potential to mobilize vote as could be dangerous for the kremlin. use the new model to me, shots,

but the thing is not though take would collect 10 or 15 last cent of the vote. and if i take some you need to little so what do i to do? no waiting, when he become president or even be serious, the position, i'm just keeping it starts, but this will be able to truly inconvenient for the criminal comes up. so hopefully you'll see that because it's on the minus the idea of the condition of the entire russian people couldn't we up and i'm going to explain shoulder to shoulder, defend the homeland from the aggression or feel free to reach you. not totally sure . and so on. with the other issue, the not the it that it didn't also has the support of well known opposition figures seems like michelle quarter kosky and the wife of alexi novelle name as well as a katerina dunce over. and that self wanted to run for president. that was blocked by the central election committee against you, or whether engaged in will be prevented from running as well, remains on 2nd, but the ground swell of support behind chain clearly demonstrates russians appetite

for change. well let's look at this with that dw, is that russia analyst konstantin, that i got to welcome to this to your, to cost into it. thank you. so a $100000.00 um, uh, signatures. uh, backing it came up. does a bunch that the interesting actually stand any chance against bother me person? well, we should rephrase it. i don't think that anyone has a charles box with him and put it because according to the consensus among the most independent analysts, including russian, is that this is a can says quite a long time presidential elections rush. i completely stage managed project and missed and the different in is there just to imitate the fact that the election to the russian. but in fact, whatever they put into that ministration presidential mistress is going to decide that's going to be the law of the land and in the sense of causing the different doesn't have a child. so he knows it because no one has any child spots was able to put ok. but

then there are 2 things in what you're said on the idea of that. but the basically likes me stage matters. i'm the 2nd phase of the idea that now the edged in is actually put into my in disguise. is that what you're suggesting? well, i'm suggesting that this is someone who has been in russian politics for a quarter of a century. i do know boddeson that there is a sub by that and he never was in his to recall. so the finals was able to put him, but he was always in the old bit of the kremlin. he used to be working for mr. kitty uncle said, of getting them who is now chief of domestic policy for peters of mistress and who is managing these electrons is little of queens and this month you missed the deadline and he's there too. on the one hand show to the rough as to the world of use put in recognizes the people that don't like him. don't like him, don't like the war even bought. all the other hand of the elections, of soul tide to control. that only thing, even if they let him wrong,

which is not to give it, then the result will be the got to 3 percent and then the criminal will say, look, put to those very popular. all those forgets the war and guessing there's only 2 personal places that you. okay, so you may well have answered my my next question, which was, why is he a standing given that so many opposition of voices in russia and a j, a little having mysterious falls from balconies? yes, exactly. that's the use. sure thing that maybe because of a brave man, but to the what we know about him and what we know actually about the fact that he's been allowed to collect signatures across. so that's very significant because all the people who want it to be one to 2 wrong people not even allow to stop the signature collecting up that he's been allowed to do that. shows that the afford with his look at him benignly. but we'll see what he's going to be registered

because the kind of in the cut and state of the comment, they don't like surprises. and if you let someone who at least says that he's against the will appear on television and be a candidate that may produce some pleasant surprises. and i think people with the crime and not great risk, they just a risk take us today. and does he have a, an actual platform beyond opposing the war in ukraine? well, he poses it fairly mildly because we need to start torques with the brand. well, frankly, if you also put in probably also most talks with the grain on his conditions. otherwise, he says, well, we should reconnect to the west who should pay more attention to economic development. but it's a very sketchy programmer. if you look at his website, it's not very detail. let's put it like that. okay, thank you for talking us through that comes to think that dw said rush, i was causing team, i guess. thank it. will take a quick look now to as of all started from around, the world of russia and ukraine have completed a prisoner swap for that video. included the release of $200.00 business on each

side was broken by the united arab emirates becomes just a week after a russian, a plane would shut down close to the ukrainian border, west coast as the aircraft carriage, ukrainian prisoners for last week's walk and blames. keen for the attack, you has proposed measures to limit agricultural inputs from ukraine. they include re introducing thomas on sensitive products like poultry, eggs, and sugar of the measures the aims of calming, angry farmers who say that being under cut by cheap ukrainian goods. anger of, of the situation has been fueling protests across your head of germany's domestic intelligence agency is now being money says under by the same agency as a farm, rise extremist and scale mass, and was dismissed from his role in 2018 for appearing to downplay evidence. against migrants, the reason and honest that he would launch a new political policy. now remember in settlement has been held that the german

parliament abundance stopped on the victims of national socialism. along the speakers was a holocaust survivor. i'm worried that the license of the past and not being heated, as the far right is again on the rise. holocaust survivor, eva, suppose she held to the leg turned by the german president. although 91 years old, she still recalls the moment darkness descended on a happy childhood a net. net. there's only one of my best friend, your child to look at it and look up this piece of letting me do today. if you're fond of blonde, did all bloodshed just like the and my father mentality was looking to bring in the sort of t is in my on his side the $399.00. and he gave me a tight tongue 70 guns best i know not your best friends,

but hurts the best. some one hasn't cited somebody to turn against us. it's not my phone. deacon ones off the x see drug and gay next week. so i suppose she is among the dwindling number of people still alive to tell the tale of how not sees gained power and used it to murder millions of jews, roma and other minorities should be show on the show. didn't not big into live our shipments. see different down with one, this is a gun with society and you say fine. and i'm looking the way our way of data. guess is this? your said, this comes with a try when far right? forces are gaining momentum in germany as and fixed. it pulls me, that's not a right next to the coffee. i can be very thankful you've been letting me know because so strong,

but how democracy is in danger. that the focus of this year service is intergenerational. remembrance on ensuring that the memories of the victims live on . the final words went to marshal rice. his father was rescued from a train bound for ouch, but he passed on this advice to his son. a love seat in the inside. i would like to leave you with a small one to full sentence, the legacy from my father and they own drive. the indians that's here. like be a match, be a good person. i'm the just want to remind you about top story of this. israel is concerned that it's policies of flooding tunnels and the gaza, which it says are being used by her mouse. you know,

i'm just pumping the water into the network and says, ground water supplies will not be affected. experts disagree in a role that the flooding could damage fresh water for kansas. 2.3000000 residents, dw documentary and next tackles questions of identity and migration of whether to stay in one's pro, bundle stops, and utilize elsewhere by the
