i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. us secretary of state and to me blinking has arrived in the middle east in the hope of securing a ceasefire between israel and mos. it is his 5th trip to the region since the last terror attacks on october 7th. lincoln has just arrived in saudi arabia and is also stopping in egypt, guitar and israel to propose to deal with allow the phased release of is really hostages, and exchange for palestinian prisoners. dw corresponded rebecca raters in jerusalem, has more on what we can expect from lincoln's latest diplomatic dr. as well certainly as you mentioned there and that lady and sarah this uh, pushed for this temporary cx 5 deal this hostage exchange. that is certainly going

to be toughing anthony. ben comes agenda during his visit here, off the saudi arabia. he's coming to israel, he's also visiting kata and egypt, 2 major players in the negotiations to major negotiate as they really worked very hard to secure the negotiation. the deal that was pro could in november and so the release of more than a 100 hostages and they're working hard to try and see this one come to fruition as well. and that is going to be the main agenda, or of course he always brings with him this message is more humanitarian. i needing to be going into gauze or metal certainly be another priority on lincoln's list. he mentioned it again before he boarded the plane to arrive to depart. america to come here. he mentioned again how important it was to try to address the humanitarian crisis there. and another agenda that he always brings with him is one of calm trying to stop this war, spilling over into

a more regional conflict. and another agenda that's always a general item is always on his list, of course is what will happen in a post a complet garza. but certainly the main priority of this tour of the middle east will be trying to encourage that say 5 do. and what more do we know about this, these fire proposal that that's currently on the table as well. the one that's currently being discussed currently being reviewed by a mouse and all the involved parties is one the framework was set out a little over a week ago. in paris and that is what is being negotiated. it'll look a little bit similar to the one we saw in november. it will have a longer say fire is the i'm a 6 plus weeks we're hearing to include then a stage release of the hostages. in exchange for and i'm yet on the time and number of palestinian prisoners now women on the info elderly they will have top priority when it comes to the releases. but then there is hope that more and more of the

hostages will come out in, in several stages. that, of course, depends on whether the cease fire is held or whether the fighting resumes as we saw happening last time that this deal happened. so the devil of course is in the detail those there, and that is what is being knock that down at the moment. that is what is still being negotiated. him as haven't come out to say that they agree to what's on the table and they are demanding from a permanent say fire and a complete withdrawal of israeli troops. now that's something that israel have come out strongly against whether or not they can meet somewhere in the middle, of course remains to be seen. and it's never over until it's all. can you talk with us about, you know, the mood where you are and the appetite in israel for such a deal? because we've, we've all seen these, these images and in the past days and weeks of the families of the hostages and you just, you feel the frustration boiling over and the anger as yeah, there's a lot of frustration, particularly as you say,

from the families and from this support is we've seen protests for weeks and weeks now calling for the release of the hostages, quoting for a say, saw some of the people that i speak to when i go to those protest and told to the families. did i say that almost do anything to ensure the release of their loved ones and that's, of course, incredibly understandable. but there's definitely an appetite for this temporary se saw it must be said that actually in israel support for the war is incredibly high across the board. we are seeing a lot of support for the aims of the as rarely, miller training these randy government to eliminate come off as a threat to israel. so people, you know, very support in support of continuing the war once the hostages have been released, but definitely the appetite for at least a temporary safe side and that hostage exchange incredibly high here correspondent rebecca rivers in jerusalem. thank you. oh yeah. mens who the rebels meantime are

refusing to enter their attacks on shipping in the red sea. despite another round of air strikes by the us and britain. the allies hit thousands of targets inside government including underground weapons, depos missile systems and launchers. who these backed by around have attacked multiple vessels in the red sea since the beginning of the war between israel and months. so are the us let air strikes doing enough to deter the who fees and the red sea? i put that question to elizabeth kendall. middle east expert at the university of cambridge is burton college. you know, yet there's very little evidence yet that these strikes it to tired and i use these, but of course, that does depend on how much they succeed in. ok, now i'm wasting this escalation, this increase the number of strikes hitting targets. perhaps it will start to have some facts, but we must remember that we had they,

they know the strikes are coming, that very adaptable that it will actually halt in their result. and this is what we're hearing because they all seeing bruce supports in yemen, but that didn't stand against for us, and in favor of the palestinians as they patriots. and you have to remember that the united states is not that popular in yemen, not just amongst the here's the outline us, but the last time we had a, a survey, an hour. well, the survey that distinguished country by country that was back in 2016 the united states was unpopular amongst 82 percent of the population, so called inside to able to prepare broadly supported. know it like to tell them not to in a short time. and we have to mention that this is the 3rd round of us lead strikes against iranian back to militias. and as many days, does this still look like, you know, more broadly speaking? does the silver like a mirror tit for tat, or are we really with the same? you know, a proxy were unfolding here between washington and t. ron?

that's an excellent question. i think we are seeing a real escalation now. it's not whether or not this will escalate. this is escalating. it feels like more of a tit for tat, more than a tit for tat when the strikes all happening on an almost daily basis when i sustained when i had some dozens of targets. but that stead i think that there are 2 signs that neither side wants this to turn into a long time proxy or, or an allowable. one sign is that the united states is screw telegraphing it strikes in a drum. so it gives the enemy time to prepare the iran and its partners are playing down the effects of a strikes which enables them to know not to have to take major reprisals. but one thing we need to bear in mind though, is that even if neither side wants for an escalation, it is a matter of making sure that the calculations are well calibrated. it only needs

one miscalculation and we could see it spiral out of control. this is how complex escalate. and that was was with candle from cambridge university speaking with me earlier. let's get you up to speed on some other news. at least 112 people have been killed by wild fires. and sheila, the blazes swept through the central valley patent usa region, a popular tourist destination on the pacific coast. the area had been experiencing a summer heat wave. the president has declared 2 days of national warning. nearly 1000000 people have been left without power in california. as heavy rain triggered flooding near san francisco authorities issued a rare warning for hurricane force. winds. schools have closed and flights have been cancelled. more rain is expected in the coming days. the incentives all opposition leaders are protesting against the president mackey solves decision to postpone the election. now the government cut off the internet of clashes abruptly

people disney's envelop mendez. yeah. and that's what that's happened to me. i didn't to profess i'm districts. okay. um, and i just wanna make our viewers aware um, i mean you're hearing it that we have, we have some audio issues we're going to keep, keep on going and, and hope that we can hear you a little bit better in the 2nd question here because you know cynical, has been considered a beacon of democracy in west africa. so i'm, i'm wondering, you know, how this term while that we're seeing now how you see it impacting stability not only in the country but also in the broader region. c d 's as a very significant the case of what the we do, close the door to us, how many marty booking out possible and maintain the recent time. and this is about the most and you are to do more increasing west africa region. so how do we move to some box, the letter of processing, sending guy in any way, by no, tyler,

the next i to go as will read, united should is going to send him very, but to seek not to the country is that that person leading drugs the some of the president of need west i need the idea of democracy. so i think it's still something that has to be addressed with from police. and then to see if we might see kind of what need to go solution. because the site it gave me your member of f o s in the region and the policy that task actually, i mean the most created the idea of democracy for the past, 50 years or more. so this is this concept for everybody in the west region. as well before we do move on to that, as i've tried to practice democracy over the years, you mentioned echo, asked that as of course, the economic community of west african states. how is it viewing this on rust? or yes, it was issued a statement which a lot of levels of wisdom because they failed. i think that there are probably

going to be for west sixty's isn't ups of the west co much most strongly on the need. the political developments necessary to apply to clarity seems to not be leg so beads. but what i also think is that we need to identify the idea that each of the quotes he does, i'm a must be the west. i also saw bring country. so it is, it leads to to which those pays can have tried me the condemned by the boy real correct example us in the recess of beach. but i, that's really, really been received by the big feeling bunch of plugins. but people in the media, people waiting for what's the next few days. it's been just bad for the move receive in sending. yeah. what's the progress of the idea on the streets? the people that, that protested on the thinking of most citizens in the read your new study in the next i should be allowed to go. i've tried to shift. thank you so much on the way or do i la from the institute for security studies incentive goals, capital dot com. we appreciate it. thank you.

the prime ministers of the u. k. and ireland are visiting northern ireland to mark the return of power sharing between the provinces pro irish and pro british political parties. britons versus sumac. and that with 1st minister michelle o'neill from the national list of shouldn't fame party and deputy 1st minister. i'm a little hang lee from the pro british democratic unionist, the u. p. now the irish liter v o for oscar are also metals politicians, the d u p, and did a 2 year boy part of the provinces, power sharing assembly. last week. they accepted a deal changing northern ireland relations, but the european union now that britain has left, so let's get wind this from our london correspondence here. got mass, so bear good. can you quickly remind viewers? what is so special about this moment? in particular for northern ireland, because i mean there's, there's so many different dynamics that play here and it is quite complicated. it

is really complicated because original seeing a lot of conflict. you remember the troubles in the seventy's eighty's. um, even ninety's done the historic piece agreement. now for the fast time, we have the so called national the so that there is this the, this, the party that's actually one's re unification where the republic are farther than they for the 1st time of the 1st minister in northern ireland. so that makes it really historic, it's the policy that was aligned with the i all right, the struggle against the british now sitting in government as the fassman stuff. of course, they're still advocating a united hollins and, and this might actually open the door for at least some steps in that direction. and we're seeing these images now the irish and the british theaters in belfast. what are they bringing with them to support? what is an historic moment as they brought money

over the 33000000 pounds of funding of funding settlement. and they say that that's basically to help the executive executive site it's, it's not enough. they need more money. but for, for the people of northern ireland, this is really a bread and butter issue because they didn't have an executive public. solven's couldn't make really important decisions that had huge implications. for example, in the health sector set of patients had been waiting to see a consultant for more than a year. so that's a, even in the, in the u. k. with a slightly struggling health system. that's an outlier. and that's because there was no executive in, in northern, all. and so the hope is that from now on the, the, that, that will be more functioning. however, the is also as like, have yet,

because historically this executive has been quite unstable to say, because both sides of the community, those will belong to the u. k. and those who want to belong to all, and they have to form a, they have to form a government together that makes it also slightly unstable and a moral from them or not. there are problems and we don't know yet how long this particular executive will be sitting there. good. thank you very much. well, it's been a year since a magnitude $7.00, or it's quick. rock south, eastern turkey and northwestern syria causing widespread death and destruction. thousands of lives were lost and many more changed forever. for those still living in the syrian city of it lived, the nightmare of that fateful moment continues. the w went there to witness the struggle of one of the many families trying to rebuild with little access to basic necessities for one year on the,

from the tragedy that took his wife 3 of his children and his home. kelly to waive us still hasn't come to terms with what happened. the 50 year old went to this house in the countryside. a short drive from it lived in order to kathy surviving children. bots, money is tight on stability. a thing of the past that us weight change my life dramatically, the scenes are still in my memory. don't sleep well. sometimes i wake up very terrified and feel like the house is gonna fall on my head. i'm still living with the shock of the great moving is difficult, friends are very high and there are no job opportunities, yeoman's design, and they are quite cause wide spread destruction in 5 of serious 14 governance with it live among the very worst hit the regions infrastructure and basic services were decimated, plunging the areas, living conditions to unprecedented levels. here in the towns of hiring an m and as in west and it lived volunteers of building new homes to replace those destroyed by

the quake. these reconstruction efforts are funded through individual donations and meant to improve housing. so many of those displaced and the how does this campaign these projects aimed to establish several multi story residential units with each floor containing for apartments. naturally we relate and starting the project due to challenges such as weather conditions and additions, delays and construction operation. let's have a nice area and these units are designed to be earthquake resistance. what would we expect the projects to be completed within 5 months? and i'm, i'm, we're working on moving families in to live in these apartments on the bank comes with up to sort of a lot of congested business, let on gloves, companies and for those forced to live in emergency camps following the quakes, destruction, new homes cannot be built fast enough across the region. residents here are suffering with little access to clean water, electricity, or basic hygiene. lation prepayments on living and attempt is very difficult

because our homes were destroyed in the us quake, and we were forced to move. we receive late and all conditions a very bad. there's no water, no lights, and no sanitation stuff about life in the camp is very difficult, obviously than just them and pay me a little thoughts. can i say all conditions are very difficult here, and there is a shortage of blankets and what we kind of get ahold of in a pickle things are very difficult to believe on the and had the oh, no motor on a slide. for so many here and it lips processing the magnitude of last year, his tragedy must be puts off until permanent living arrangements can be secured and i'm joined now by clinton vs his program director at the world division syria response. thank you so much for joining us. here on dw, it's been a year now since that earthquake. what does the affected region look like today? sites really yeah. to area the pretty 1st

funds with 2 very, very desperate realities in southern safety. we have uh coffee which are really uh list from buildings that have demolished the texas governments has begun reconstruction in several areas. where is it northwest in syria as well? how much record? well, i'd say it's an area that has lots we use to not have the reconstruction needs, but how does not getting the attention of the center as you heard of that report, even one of them was that was use shortage. i think this is a, it's something where it's, it's, it's on the north, west 30 right now. so, you know, when you speak with people, what are they telling you in terms of, you know, what are the main issues for them and, and how they are still struggling? give us a sense of some of the stories you hear. i think people are disappointed a lot of people to get northwest in syria last year. we're hearing from the

international community that they wouldn't be held that they were promises made. unfortunately, those promises have not been case and many people in northwest and sorry i struck full just basic things like t most as you've heard in the report. things like see something as simple as bread . people like this for, i'm really, really struggling right now just to get from one day to the next. is a lot printing situation. given that, what is your message then to the international community, what, what is most urgently needed in which areas do you personally want to say action or how we, how do we need funding, particularly in critical areas like want to see we've seen 2000000 people who used to their lives in a few days now that numbers dropped down to 1000000 because food a as in cost to northwest syria,

we now have drastic levels of mon nutrition. we have major issues just with simple things like people being able to make it for one day to the next. so we really need to increase the amount of international aid coming into northwest area to help people visual. so it's single things like psychological supports for people in southern take e and the northwest through the things that i see which is a top piece really has to deal with something that none of us, none of us, frankly, shouldn't have to deal with. well, thank you so much for joining us to share that message. clinton lucas programs director at world visions, syria response. we appreciate it. paris is targeting s u. v drivers with outsized parking charges. it's part of a push to make the 2024 olympics host city greener and less car centric. but

fewer than 6 percent of residents voted for these increases, which only applies to vehicles from out of town. a trip to paris look set to get a lot more expensive for some motorist parking and s u. v in the central districts currently costs the same as any other car, 6 year olds, an hour. but after this landmark vote, that could triple to 18 year olds and for longer, 6 hours stays. the tariff would be a whopping 225 years. proponents of the new fee say the taller, wider cars don't just pollute more than smaller vehicles. they're also more dangerous. taking up more space, shutting out from the curb and clogging the cities narrow side streets. it's a bit to, to have a huge car in a city that's already very polluted, where there's very little space and beyond the impact it may have in paris. there's

also a bit of a symbolic side to saying that it's a bad idea of role in cities. the new rates are meant to make motorist think about greener modes of transportation, such as biking for taking the train. but some critics say that's easier said than done but it's, you know, so they would cost us around $200.00 euros per day septic stream, the expensive commercial life costs to lots children cost a lot. so it would just be too expensive. i think in the end we'll have to stop using our cause using the with but we need our costs to travel out to paris for holidays and weekends. pretty close to the weekend of turn out was very low. parents. officials have hailed the vote as a step toward a greener city, calling it a message to auto manufacturers to reverse the trend towards the bigger and heavier cars. women have taken center stage at this year's grammy awards with taylor swift, billy english, and my lease cyrus and fish a getting the top prizes. it was
