have nowhere to go if it is riley grant attack took place according to god's home us run health ministry, more than $28000.00 palestinians have died into violence so far and currently for the living, there are no good options the few remaining positions are packed the road to an uncertain future lies the huge. this is the reality for hundreds of thousands of golf and refugees, and the disparate search for safety. but not knowing how to do it, we hope the will and quickly. we're tired of fleeing from one city to another west, so tired. i swear to god, people are tired. i hope the world stands with us and looks at us with a kind of mazda full. i was hired, was crying. malta is showing destruction. death salvation 1st or there is no food off us. for sure i can some one point. 3000000 gallons head found

respite from the fighting here and rough are following is rails old is but israel is playing defensive in the city. threatens what little safety rasa can provide. there are a few options available to the people in rough, or they could travel north through central gaza, elmore, the o'con, eunice. but here be financing has much of those areas in ruins. leaving civilians like these faced with a desperate choice. there simply is no place to lead to a central and northern gauze. i have been the sites of of increased an intense fighting on northern garza, has been basically reduced to rubble. there are no facilities or accommodations they're able to, to host people fleeing for safety. on top of that, there's the,

the added risk of unexploded ordinances throughout all of garza, but particularly in the north where there was quite heavy air springs. early on in the 1st few months of, of this escalation, uh, and on top of that, people have fled multiple times. they have nothing with that, nothing. they have very little belonging to united nations, the european union and the united nations have age. the id have to do more to protect civilians course out them the fighting. but is rasa comes on the increasing fire. it remains unclear if any, which is safe for the people of gaza. so now us foot been mubarek l. sony is a lecture in the field of international relations and defense. he's also a former director of defense intelligence operations in counter earlier. he told us which gaps still need to be bridged in these negotiations. well, obviously the escal atory seemed right now from industry

standpoint has to be addressed. the problem situation bluff is uncomfortable. it is. uh right now the last uh place where i see jeez of some sort of calm uh, relative obviously it's been shots and right now with the bombings and the fear of a landing connection just to me. so i have to know all of that. so in that situation right now and roughly looms over all negotiations, as one might expect, office to south africa has asked the international court of justice to consider whether israel's actions in rough up breach orders handed down by the course of the last month. so if africa broke the case against israel, imagine genocide in a preliminary ruling last month, the court ordered israel to do everything possible to prevent the death of palestinians in gaza to pakistan. and our 2 major parties have agreed to join

forces to form a government that's after last week's election failed to produce a decisive winner, former prime minister, and now was sure reached party has an answer that he has nominated his younger brother chavez. for the top job of a partner with the pakistan people's party and other smaller parties, the move appears to end the impressions of former prime minister. in round cons, p t i party to form a government cons party was barred from elections, but independent candidates, backed by him, was the most seats to act bar. um its a professor at the american university in washington, dc and a former pakistani ambassador to the u. k and ireland spoke to dw earlier, and he told us more about the new coalition and the armies involvement in the election. you have 3 major parties, one, lots of seats in parliament, but none of them can form a government on their own. they have to form coalitions. so in the shape,

the head of the most indeed is aligned with the fbi. i didn't buy list as a body and below and for to to form the government and he is nominated, his brother ship i shaved, was prime minister previously to be the next 5 minutes. so you have no, why should he respond to the most indeed or make a comment? but it was a man of feeling government because his constant feed rely on it's good issues, but the people who are wanting inside demanding the presidency. so if somebody becomes a prime minister, then mr. somebody who has the prison previously becomes a pleasant again. and these are the same figures that him wrong time has been attacking as corrupt and incompetence. the army indeed does the jet, critical disorder is visible, but it does remain a boat in force and bucks on politics. but the people, folks on have, i think the,

have an understanding of what's going on. and then for the army, it said for the 1st time in the history of books on has gone in for a lot of criticism. so unfortunately, but this is dividing something that so far as marketing divided, not being exposed to a lot of the army generals in fact, to being personally attacked. if you go online, but in the video, you'll see a lot of a vitriolic materials. similarly to so the armies day but invisible as it 12. but at the same time, people understand it's a, it's a strength and important member of the sites. it's a huge ami, a sofa. it's a very well organized on me, the fission tommy, and unfortunately, speed, as far as the public is concerned, used in these and actions in a negatively. here's looking at some other stories making headlines today. the 2 votes have collided on the river in the democratic republic of congo with fears. dozens of people may have dreamed residents watched from the river bank after the boats, which were loaded with passengers and goods. colliders. officials have yet to confirm

the death toll, but say many of the 50 people on board are presumed dead. senators, us republican lawmakers have voted to impeach, homeland security chief alejandro my york s, or the us government's border policies. republicans in the house of representatives approve the impeachment by a single vote after a previous attempt last week filed us president joe biden called the vote on constitution. and to gone, says us defense secretary lloyd austin, has been released from hospital and he has resumed his duties. austin's doctors say the health issue is not related to the defense secretary's recent cancer diagnosis . austin had kept his post hospital stay for cancer treatment in january to the sol secret about my career. lance line has trumped at least 9 workers in a gold mine in eastern church. the landslide swept across the valley, where the workers were thought to be at the time. officials, a rescue efforts are ongoing. the pulse of opened in

indonesia as presidential election. 3 candidates are facing off, but with one clear favor, probably so be unto has the backing of current president, joe go, we don't. and is leading the pulse. proposal is also a controversial figure accused of human rights abuses during indonesia as dictatorship as rivals say, they will offer the country 8 need to change. india holding the biggest single day election. and february 14 voters are electing a new president and vice president, members of parliament and local legislative bodies. over 204000000 indonesians are registered to vote. the election is a massive logistical undertaking. the papers have to be distributed to more an 8 100000 following booth across the archipelago of san 17000 islands. familiar with what is in this year's election with feeling less concerned about the printing and distribution about papers and other logistical issues about the district will see.

welcome. over the past month, we just actively managed to track the movements of the pallets and other election materials from production site to the building stations at the city and district levels before me leaving light. another challenge is the oval of a number of the papers, each containing hundreds of names to choose from. folders must elect president and vice president as well as roughly 20000 legislators at the national provincial and district level, from approximately a quarter 1000000 candidate. about 55 percent of voters are age between $17.40. these yell folders are likely to determine the winner. but many of them appear confused about the electoral system. i've done much, it is quite a bit confusing. actually, i do understand a little bit about the difference in the system and the pulse you have to pay for the prostate. now you have to come to that. but maybe if it's to let just a chance, it's more complex, most confusing. to me,

i'm still confused about the pallets what the different colors mean. us spend a bit confused about who the candidates are in my neighborhood to add their plan to billboards and flags around. but i can't quite tell which ones are competing in my area. i don't have that, so i'm confused that she daddy really apple 3 candidates are vying to become the next president opinion to pull us to just kind of an minister problem. so biando is enjoy a considerable lead over the other 2 candidates. the new president will be inaugurated in october dw sharon mark read sumo line, told us about the core issues in the, in the nation election to yes, so experts see that the court issues of this year's election in indonesia is still about the economy. multiple survey shows that a top national issues that needs to be prioritized and needs to be tackled on our

job creations and also, and the issue of eradication of poverty reputation. it is not surprising because of, of the entire $200.00 and millions electorates are millennials and also jen z. and that has been the issues that they have faced in the past and also that they will be dealing in the future. for example, unemployment especially after depend demik and also um there has been mass layoffs happening into startups in indonesia, as they call it tech winter. so all the candidates on his, on his bus wed, done going to a panel and also problems to be unto has put a creationist on new jobs as part of their agenda. all right, well probably will. oh, so bianco has been leading in opinion polls ahead of the election. so what would a victory for him looked like for indonesia and the wider region? yes, so provost would be until, with his whining may have to keep it under a couple of me. rocca, who is the eldest son of the outgoing precedent,

a joke we do or generally they are the front runner for the election approval will a former general is in famous for his a legit involvement in the kidnapping of pro democracy activist and also human rights abuses in the past and critics war and that victory for the spare would mean um, eroding a democracy, ignore and destruction of democracy which already has been done during the administration of presidential colby and a victory for that would also mean a continuation of for jacoby doors. ambitious economy policies, attracting investments from abroad, which expert also see that could be a benefit for uh, introduces china is 100 parts because of a joke. always positive relations with badging. all right, you are of today's of next is doc film with a look at no magic children and courteous staff who now have
