the, the, you're watching, you know, the news coming to live from berlin. dozens are dead and gaza. city offers railey troops, open fire, and you're a crowd waiting for food. the gaza health industry. so some 700 other people were injured in the incidents, or they're conflicting reports of what happened and how people died. also coming up on the show vladimir fruits and warns nato over ukraine in his annual address the russian president, hence, nuclear weapons could be used as nato countries. central ukraine, the

cry. richardson, welcome, health officials and gaza say more than a 100 people have been killed after. as rarely, soldiers opened fire near a crowd waiting for humanity or in a delivery in gaza city. i'm os widely designated as a terrorist group runs the gaza health ministry, and also officials, there's a more than $700.00 authors were injured in the incident is rarely official say, most of those killed died and a crushed to get aid. but they have also acknowledged that as of the 8 convoy move further, north troops fired warning shots including app people's legs, leading the crowd gathered around the convoy, posed a threat. and here's what end is really government spokes person. have to say about the incident. my understanding desktop is that's a humanitarian aid vehicles and said the gaza strip and were overwhelmed by uh, people attempting to essentially loops to uh, to take that uh,

aid from those a trucks and a some points. and we can, you can surely see this and some of the videos that the idea of, of distributed at some points the trucks are overwhelmed and the people driving the trucks, which are garza and uh, goals and civilian drive is uh, plowed into um, the crowds of people are correspond atanya, kramer has been following the story for us from jerusalem. i asked her what we can say for sure. so far. i mean, as you said, the conflicting reports and or, you know, the word devastating seems being described by eye witness to why service there. so what we know is that this 8 convoy moved from the color of trucks move from the south of the colors and strip to the northern gauze and strip every understand the post, a check point, a there on the way. and then what i witnesses are saying is that uh,

once the 8 convoy was moving, the trucks arrived on the other side that a lot of people when they're obviously and, and that there were shots fired from the is really military that caused people to panic. also the drive is to panic and then to turn a turn around and also run a people over a closing is done, pete, so to speak. this is what i witnessed was headset and that of course the casualties that have been reported by the ministry of thoughts then goes. and now the is where the military has released ariel footage from this area. this is the cost of the road going from this house to the north, and they're saying to were actually 2 incidents that there was a stem pete in the, in the 1st place that a lot of people were actually trying to get to the age. and we're trying and this costs to panic. and that also truck drivers then uh,

were turning around and people were run over. and then there was a 2nd incident where they put out in the statement, but also talking to reporters and a briefing this afternoon saying that some soda is supposed to struck and, and that they were responding uh with life fire. but they also said this incident is still under review. so basically what we have to remind ourselves is also that, you know, in the post as be heard of from the 8 organizations and from the united nations out this spread the situation. that's nice, and you can see that how many people were trying to congregate around these trucks trying to get to the goods on on these trucks. did organizations warning of this extremely dire situation because it is not reaching the northern part of cause of so did you can see the crowds in that footage we were just looking at released by the idea of joe biden. he says the u. s. is checking reports about what has

happened, but we already know what, what this might mean for efforts toward a cease fire as well. there is obviously concerned that this might impact those and negotiation, these mediation efforts that are going on between indirectly between the homos and israel, mediated by katara in egypt and also the us and of you've been hearing a do you as president dubai? and he said that address is still trying to determine what actually happened exactly in this incident. but he was also asked whether this was whether he thinks this would impact those negotiations where there was some cautious optimism that, you know, there might be some kind of breakthrough depending on what sources you believe. and he said, you know, that a know, it will probably come to k to come to take those negotiations. now of course, what we are looking at is on the one hand of course uh theres hoping is route. that

is where the hostages that are still being held and garza would be released and such a hosted steel. an exchange for posting in prison is that would be also potentially longer ceasefire. but also, there is of course, hope for publishing and presidents, what they need to much more a coming in a respite from the war as well for, for these few days. but it's very important to stress that of course, you, many terminated, would also go in if you know those in negotiation would be a successful at the end. tanya kramer reporting for us from jerusalem. thank you so much as ever to the russian president vladimir putin has warranted nato countries that they risk nuclear war if they send troops to ukraine. he made the threat as he delivered his annual state of the nation address ahead of an election, which he is the only serious candidate and put and went on to say he be stationing more soldiers and rushes west close to new nato members,

finland and sweden. excuse me, for the flat demand puts in his given his annual state of the union address just 2 weeks before the presidential election. despite the pricing though meaningful position via the announce social reforms under $10000000000.00 euro before low for us as health care system. but the war and ukraine still dominates. earlier this week, the french president emanuel mackerel refused to roll out the west, sending troops to ukraine, prompting a stop warning from boots in the minneapolis one second. so when you more they should eventually understand that we also have wave fitness and they know it's really tight just city now myself in weapons that can heat targets on their territory. a pretty doing everything that the waste is coming out just now one day threatening the world with it can result in a conflict with the use of nuclear waste in us. going to zip and bay for the destruction of civilization. i'm not sure when you're searching and civil is that

some of the nato countries including lift to wait and you have cracked the french position. but the german chancellor or left charles has rejected any idea of direct nato involvement in the war. and ukraine not to east of nato is not and will not be party to the will. that remains the case. we do not want to rush as war against ukraine to become a war between russia and nato and feel we agree on this was own all allies. this also means no german participation in the war and with no sign of any laptop in the war and boots, in heading for a quarter of a century and power relations between russia and the west are likely to remain tens for the foreseeable future. so how seriously should we take prisons, threats of nuclear war? i asked the w is eastern europe editor, roman gosh, rank go as well. i think we should take everything that comes from blogging and

polluting seriously, especially when it comes to flats like today. um, on the other hand, there is no immediate threat to a new client conflict between russia and nato. so what he was saying is just be careful of what you do. but he's been saying this before. the russian position is like the former president, the executive has been threatening, but nearly just every couple of weeks. why it's important it's, it's important because this signal came from a chrome, the suggestion, this is something new or i should probably didn't expect it. but i think the most important is signaling or frightening uh, the west with a new gravel. there are some pressed and brushing authorities are trying to stop the bus from helping ukraine. and this, this intimidation, it works to a certain extent because there are set up certain types of weapons like long range missiles, the device is not ready to deliver. so it sounds like using fish and does indeed

raise the stakes for the west as it considers how much support to continue providing ukraine. well, it's really hard to tell if it, if it's really rate raises the stakes. i'm skeptical about it because it's not really new of what he has been test saying. um, what is new is the suggestion of my chrome, but this is present my chromebook. this is a theoretical question of the moment. nobody's talking about sending troops to ukraine in the near future. so under conditions remain, as they are in this war, will be probably no need for the lesson come just to do that, but they might change if your grades thoughts losing. um anyway, mistakes are relatively high as well. um at this moment anyway, because russia is waging a conventional with an open end and is not going to stop. and this was the signal by president put in, which is our eastern europe edit or roman culture and go. and we can take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the worlds alleys of alexi

. novalis say russian authorities are blocking their efforts to bury him. the opposition leader died in prison on february 16th and his funeral is set for friday . the only supporters, a funeral directors have received threats and that they cannot hire a hearse to transport his body. the supreme court has agreed to decide whether donald trump is immune from prosecution. this is a victory for him as it delays as trial on charges that he conspired to overturn the 2020 election drums. lawyers argue that he shouldn't be prosecuted for actions taken while he was president of my chair, to the editor in chief of the independent russian newspaper, new via because that time has been detained and find in moscow. the paper set a survey, a circle of has been accused of discrediting russia's military self aloft of charge of the paper in september 2023. when his predecessor was named a for an agent by the russian authorities. a crane is warning against quote and

destructive external interference, and we'll do is break away region of trends in this for you. and as after pro, russia separates us there, as most count for so called protection of the self proclaimed republic, is a tiny sliver of land located between ukraine and won't over and broke away from old over during the collapse of the soviet union in the early 19 ninety's, most of the territory as russian speaking, and many old russian citizenship, the attention is between moldova and russia, has been rising. ever since most got launched its full scale invasion of ukraine terrace, called the capital of transmit stream. on the surface all appears calm. this despite appeals from officials here for protection from russia. meanwhile, in the mold oven capital, there's nervousness your new material to i'm afraid that the wall will start to see a tour or a low dover as

a weak country. from the point of view is the military. we have no resources. my tech, who we probably will receive help from other countries, but i don't think it will help us at all because we're not even in the european union down this year. so what that is for the authorities in transmission area, approximately deciding the faithful dog park. and by addressing coach in on the state duma with a request to be accepted into russia. and if you put anything called this, in fact, is a declaration of war against the republic of montalvan. i see there is both parts of the republic i'm a little i'm in russia, president vladimir putin made no mention of transmit street in his annual state of the nation address. however his foreign ministry, spokes person indeed comment on speculation, russia was planning to annex the territory inside moldova. nothing whatever, made through stubborn need, trying to turn to republican, to return the 2nd ukraine country to the most of the majority of them will,

jovan population. and in general, what apparently without thinking about the consequences of this for the country and for the region as a whole unit. so but nato insists russia is modeling the what's the following session that they put pressure is using all the leave of influence at its disposal to stop the european parts of the republic of moldova, it is obvious from trans history is a form of pressure on moldova, become on the what advantage it is a political declaration to inflame the pre electoral climate. to know the speaking at a summit of leaders from south eastern europe, the mold open president tried to reassure her fellow citizens and called for solidarity with neighboring ukraine. well, the delay safe to the ukraine needs to be supported. ukraine is keeping us to day, peaceful and safe. hopeful message in

a country overshadowed by the proximity of its neighbour russia. and that is your news update on this hour. thank you so much for watching the and reaching out to the special hot spots in germany. dw travel extremely where we live in a well surrounded by and i think lance of gas isn't going to make up the on.
