6:01 pm
the 4th time billy irish fates. but tom song from the library, golf is good to have you with this on this monday. and we begin with yet another effort to bring come to the middle east us secretary of state entity blinking has arrived in the hope of securing a ceasefire between israel and a moss. this is his 5th trip to the region since the home of terror attacks of october, 2nd week, it is in saudi arabia and is also stopping in egypt. guitar. it is real to propose d, o would allow the phase release. it is really hostages. in exchange for palestinian prisoners, we can also wants to prevent further regional escalation of the conflict us as retaliated against attacks on its forces with air strikes on who's the rebels in
6:02 pm
yemen and other militias, backed by iran. c. w correspond to insulin is in jerusalem. he told us earlier, what's at stake for blinking with this visit? quite a lot at stake. all right, sir. you can say that festival, there's the worry about regional spread. i mean, already this is escalating and way of receiving reports through up reprisal attacks in syria on a us backed curtis group, with some dates reported there in a deadly drone attack that's in response to the attacks that the us and the u. k. has launched the have been us this the 1st u. s. u. s. depth in this conflict, as you know, which spots this response. and the way of saying this is just going to be the beginning. saudi arabia, there's a lot at stake. so that nation a wants to normalize relations with israel and that would be in return for some
6:03 pm
sort of security packed from the us. and then of course, you've got the security and safety of some 1000000 palestinian civilians all crammed into bron for right now. the problem being with a being crammed into that region is that israel is threatening to move in there. it's already launched, strikes with schools dying of nights on the outskirts of rafa. whether or not this military operation pushes further into a profit is the big question. so much at stake, not just for those civilians, but also the more than $100.00 hostages from israel that are being held hostage in gaza right now. so that was a big facility and they are reporting from israel. i'm going to bring it in now. dalia dawson k. she's a senior fellow at the u. c. l. a burchell center for international relations. she is currently a full bright visiting scholar in sweden at luna university. she joins us now from sweden. it's good to have you with this all the, you know,
6:04 pm
so far we've heard from him off that it will not agree to any deal unless that it gets a guarantee that is we're able to pull out of gaza and stop the fighting. israel has rejected that. so are these negotiations working on non starters? well i think they're still attempts to get a breakthrough. i'm sure this is the highest priority in for secretary, blinking on his current trip. there is a real need to put a whole lot to this fighting, at least for a shorter term by the us still continues to oppose the permanent ceasefire, but there needs to be a stop in the hostages must get out. so it isn't looking good at the moment, but a lot of insurance happening behind the scenes. and hopefully there will be a breakthrough. yeah, it's not looking good. let's talk a moment about optics here. we've got entity blinking, coming into the middle, least at the same time on the very same day you brought the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying, are talking about total victory over her moss. are these 2 men talking past each
6:05 pm
other? well, i printers are not gonna use comments. are certainly unhelpful. uh it is it going to be impossible to get a deal? so if, if he continues to take this kind of stance, of course, he's taking a lot of the staff is for domestic audiences. it's very clear that he has a, you know, a lot of pressure from his right flank not to give in, not to have any pause in this war. the, as really population is mixed up more than half of the population really focused on getting the hostages out as a priority. but a large part of the population, still very supportive of continuing this campaign, until a mazda is significantly degraded and cannot from is really guess. so it's a real bind. but there is an urgency given the humanitarian catastrophe, it's highest on the us to drive the highest on the regional agenda. that is very much backing ceasefire as soon as possible. do you,
6:06 pm
do you think that anthony blinking may be, do it, trying to do the business of a lame duck president? and then i asked that because, you know, we were hearing that we could see that all of these parties in the middle east just by their time until the us election in november, waiting to see if there's going to be a change in the white house. and so that really makes vitamins work even that much greater, doesn't it as well. there's always that a political context, but i have to say this is really a strategic issue and the region cannot wait until the us election. there is really, as you're referring, just demonstrated dire conditions on the ground in god that is really hostages. by last counter i think, a 136. we don't know how many are still alive still in prison in god the, in the urgency is of highest order. so i, i think it's important then, you know, i'm sure there are preferences in the region, but this is really
6:07 pm
a strategic question, not a domestic one. and the secretary blinking, this is his 5th trip, the middle east sense the terror attacks back in october. it seems each time that he has come over to the middle east. the stakes have gotten even bigger, excuse me. and that's where we are right now. i'm thinking about these, you know, these tit for tat attacks that have been going on between the ranch proxies in the united states. how much leverage does the united states have right now, considering it wants to prevent an escalation of the by. so it's extremely, we're in situation uh and is at the other very high agenda item, i'm sure on secretary blinking visit to contain to conflict. and the record so far has been mixed up. unfortunately, despite this u. s. response to attacks over 160 attacks and its forces in 0 and brock and now intervening against this with these in the admin. uh theater are these attacks are continue with thing. we just had another attack last night on us backed kurdish
6:08 pm
forces in syria that we're fighting against isis. it's extremely wearing at hard to know this to sustainable ad, everybody talks about calibrated controlled strikes. and the us certainly is not looking for a word with the rod, which is why these retaliations happened in this period and it's going to likely be contained in the see or any rock and beat or not any run itself. it doesn't look like a rod is looking for a full scale war, but it's very hard to keep this situation controlled when prophecies, evolution forces are so unpredictable as already the us is much more involved, but it had intended to be. so if it's worth telling you, it does okay with the seo labor hosting of her international relations. joining us tonight from sweden, we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. thank you. let's get you up to speed down with some of the other stories that are making headlines around the globe. at least a 112 people have been killed by wild fires in chile, the blaze swept through the central. but are you so region
6:09 pm
a popular tourist destination located on the pacific coast? the area had been experiencing a summer heat waves. the president has declared 2 days of national morning. nearly 1000000 people have been left without power in california. as heavy rain triggered flooding your san francisco authorities issued a rear warning for hurricane force winds schools enclosed wines have been cancelled, and more rain is expected in the coming. big italian police have arrested 14 people after unrest at a migrant detention center near rome. the incident was sparked by the suicide of a 21 year old man from guinea who was being held there. several officers were injured when detainees proved the objects and set fire to mattresses. it has been a year since a massive $7.00 magnitude earthquake struck south eastern turkey and parts of syria . it was followed by another powerful tremor, only hours later,
6:10 pm
more than 50000 people were killed in turkey alone and over a 1000000 were left homeless. today, many communities are still struggling. our corresponded yearly, han file to this report from the hard hit city and talked. this is what remains. of the once bustling city of on took you. abandoned department buildings lined the roads, reminders of a life that no longer exist, see if the year has passed since the quakes and in many places says still busy demolishing damage buildings and clearing the rustle. this neighborhood used to be home to thousands of people, but just look around. it's almost entirely gone a year ago to powerful earthquakes, patches, se kentucky be destroyed or severely damaged. some 300000 buildings across 11
6:11 pm
provinces. experts say construction safety codes had been ignored on a grand scale. some lives could be rescued with many couldn't. today the official desk told stands at more than 50 phones and these graves in and talk. a monument to pain of durham does show lost his brother and his mother. he himself was trapped under the rubble for more than a day. he tells me ok so. so when i managed to get out after more than 30 hours, so it looked like the apocalypse, it happens and you say, no one knew what to do. i see that, you know, everyone had lost someone and the state wasn't there for us. there was no help me with a single mother a year later, hundreds of thousands in the disaster he'd region are still holding out in containers and other temporary shelters. like melick dustin and
6:12 pm
who invites me into her improvised kitchen. she's been living here for almost a year with her husband and 2 children, but others motion, but i can't get used to this. i had it because i had everything. and now i don't know what will happen, what will become with my kids with lorraine in the clothes. i sometimes tell myself, god, i wish we had died too. as a family's gifts those days, county, i should be honest. as a police president bridget tire of ad one made hold, promises to swiftly reveals across the region how much it was. a goal in the 1st phase is to complete the $319000.00 homes and village houses within a year and hand them over to the wrong notes by the test. but the reconstruction is progressing. fluid improvements at this building sites on the outskirts of kentucky . yes. most of us run into his team o racing to get the 1st few 1000 departments ready in february. he attempts to explain the delays. sean india. it's the biggest problem right now is the range
6:13 pm
that it's been reading hubble in the region. so they do a lot of what we're working non stop. i want just to make sure earthquake victims can move in as soon as possible the billboards like this. want to have sprung up across the city. you homes, you jobs a future, that's the talkers governments big promise. but as much as people here, one to believe, and it's many have little hope that life and the city will soon return to how it was before. many shop owners are improvising the sell from containers now. but most of their former customers are either did or displace getting supplements. i'm just looking for them to be. we decided to do something on our own and to make ends meet. i have life has to go on. we hosted on talk. yeah, we'll certainly getting back on it. i also most of you said the high, you know, like i say everything will get better, but i'm not sure. i think it'll take 10 or 15 years to rebuild the city on on this
6:14 pm
you lose all of the engineer. darcia is your candidacy. i'm a mother of 4 children. i'm fighting for them. we have to hold on somehow too much, at least we are still alive, and that means there is whole units of our that makes and that whole is a crucial building block for the future. and meet the ruins of on talk you or a one year later. is there any accountability here to talk about that i'm doing now by m a sinclair web. she's a senior researcher for human rights. once turkey she joins is denied from is the envelope and it's good to have you with this. um, we've heard that report that building standards building codes were ignored in that region before the quake happened. so one year later, do we know who is to blame for what reason will happen when the ground shook? well, yes, thank you for having me. i mean families in, throughout this as quick region are demanding justice for the appalling building
6:15 pm
standards that uh tons, that homes hospitals all kinds of hotels and other public buildings into graves. when the crate quakes struck. and i'm just as is proving to be very difficult thing to keep because well, there are ongoing trials of the real estate developers. the technical team's the private contract. is there a currently no trials yet of public officials who are responsible for green lighting? construction projects are responsible, have a duty of oversight and inspection and issue building licenses for the ingredient for the trial. i wanted to ask you about that. you know, they have said these, these safety, these code inspectors for the municipalities. they have said that they didn't know anything about the lack of safety measures in the buildings that they approved. how
6:16 pm
credible is that as well. i mean its not credible and basically uh, they have a responsibility to find out what is happening with the building a contract to can come with the projects and get the technical team to provide the project to the municipality. and also the provincial authorities in the ministry of environments and, and city planning. i have a responsibility of oversight. they have to check every level whether the project is being implemented according to the right standards. there are also, you know, private the, the contract it and inspectors as well. but ultimately it must come down to public storage, ease to sign off on buildings by issuing the final
6:17 pm
a nice that, that fit to live in. that, that's the occupancy. what we see in many of the areas, including the area that judy hung visited was the many buildings didn't even have licenses, no licenses of occupancy. that's a terrible indictment of the public authority is. and it shouldn't be in the, the, the governments, the local government, national governments interest for building safety codes, it to be met. it doesn't appear that that is the case. and how do you explain that it's well, i mean, i think this is what needs to come out in a full investigation. and what, what we have to get the 1st stage we have to get to is permission for public authorities to be investigated by the prosecutors. and turkey has an old no unfortunately, which means that in order to investigate the public official, you have to get permission from the states. so that has to be administered,
6:18 pm
permission given. but now that can easily become a rest of the people in tennessee. what we want is that the commission should be get on the prosecutors should be able to go ahead with that. prosecution's our cover investigations, and then in the trials of the real estate developers and others, we need the public schools to ortiz, to be present in the trials, to, in some cases, as defendants, but without the proper investigation. it's been, this is lagging behind all other assets of justice and it is going to hamper trials eventually of the developers because the developers are likely to say, and they're already saying in that sense, yes, that the municipality gave me permission. i built this building with the permit from the municipality because i'm going to be a lot of people passing responsibility on to others. and i know that reconstruction in that area is going a lot more slowly than was promised by president richard tire of aero one of the
6:19 pm
buildings that are being rebuilt. is there any way that people can be sure that these new buildings are going to be any safer than the house of cards that filled down a year ago? that's. well, that's a very good question. and i think, you know, turkey over the years has developed better investor buildings time, the regulations. but this is a patchwork of regulations that extend by yes, it's uh, a very complicated legislation around building complicated regulation on adherents to these regulations. i mean, you know, it can only be done, we get connected, b r t. if people are brought to justice and, you know, it's, this is a forward looking us because, you know, took, he's going to have many more us quakes. it's a, has a high risk about quakes assembled have may have a huge a quick soon. and so this is not just but the victims, this is for the whole country that this needs to change constructions kind of have
6:20 pm
to be upheld and enforced by proper inspection. and people have to take responsibility and only by being brought to justice. will that really ever happen? emma sinclair, with human rights watch turkey. unfortunately, we're out of time in that we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. paris is targeting f u. v. drivers without size parking charges. it's part of a push to make the 2024 olympics host city greener and less car centric. if you're than 6 percent of the residents took part in a referendum on the increases 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 zeros 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. the proponents of the new fee say the taller whiter
6:21 pm
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 city's 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 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. that's extremely expensive. 6 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
6:22 pm
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. well, women art is dominated the grammy awards in los angeles with a string of top trophies. it was a historic night for taylor swift, taylor swift. it's a new non mulkins rami history. perhaps the taylor swift coming to us before much when the best album of the year award. for a full time. all i want to do is keep doing this, so thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do with this and speak to the woods. the best pops the plow them where they are and would not have the inspiration. they have best african music performance was the title of one of 3 new
6:23 pm
grammy categories. and this year the prize went to south african cigna, tyler, female to fullness swept the votes. this is miley cyrus, billy english, and says a also taking home talk trophies with the best me. well, just of the year awards going to victoria monee, the women dominated the stage to the crowds treated to live performances by sousa, olivia rodrigo, the journey mitchell who won the award for best phone, call them and the funds were not mess disappointed. either you to, to opt out of the show with the high tech performance of the hit atomic city. but a tele costs from las vegas are going to bring is going to watch bird now from dw
6:24 pm
culture. scott, good to see you. so the women definitely dominated the grammy's last night. and is this uh, is this something we should? yeah, welcome to get used to, i mean it's a part of the broader trend or was last night a one off in your opinion, or no, definitely not. i'd be a deal except of course being the best example. she won her 4th album of the year breaking all records in grammy history, an essentially being re crowned as the queen of pop. and as the father of 2 devoted swift ease, i have to say long may the queen rain when it comes to women in general winning at the grammys. i mean, these are multiple winners feed, the bridge it in the, in the full guard is one for grammy's. last night leading 3 for band boy genius mentioned victoria monet, ability. irish, a. miley cyrus. so any multiple grammys, even the, the sound track to the film barbie. last year's
6:25 pm
a feminist blockbuster took home to grammy's. so this is definitely was definitely ladies night of the grammys. but i don't think this has any sort of new trends. i think it's just knowledge meant by the recording academy will give out the grammy's that when it comes to commercial and creative directions in pop music, it's female artists who are really leading the way. yeah, i mean in your kids are not the only swift he's in the room that's for sure. last night we, we sell a new grand new category, best african music performance talking to me about how significant this is for the industry. in this case, i think it's also the fact that the recording academy is acknowledging just the reality, which is that african pop music is now a global force. and it's about the time that it's got its own category in the grammys. i'm, if i have any criticism at all, uh, i would say that the grammys haven't gone far enough with this, this category. i mean, if you look at the nominees of this year,
6:26 pm
they came from just 2 african countries from nigeria and south africa. and they only represented to patrick and john are and so the arrow beats the sort of global dance music. and i'm a piano which is a form of house music originating in south africa. so a wall, i think i welcome this move by the recording academy. i think the grammys still have a ways to go before they represent the full diversity, both geographical and creative of african use. it's got i've got 15 seconds joanie mitchell, last night in tracy chapman. what was your favorite moment of the show? i have to say they were great, but i'd have to say it was and the linux giving her tribute singing nobody to compares to you attribute to the lake sinead o'connor. yeah. an amazing moment and really brought to my eyes. i agree. she was not the only one crying in the room that for sure, dw culture scott lots perhaps got as always. thank you. bye. or do you want to do the news from berlin?
