hello and terry martin. good to have you with us. united nations, secretary general and tony, you go to her, says a deadly a distribution incident and goes or requires an effective independent investigation must run. does that help ministry said more than a 100 people were killed when is really soldiers open? fire near a crowd surrounding an aid. con boy is real blames the desk on the stand. p. thursday's incident added to a palestinian death toll which the gaza health ministry says has now arisen over $30000.00. these aerial images have been released by israel's military. it says the show palestinians in garza city, running towards it trucks in the early hours of thursday morning presenting in the deadly stem bead to its full $45.00 am a mob ambush,

the a trucks bringing that con void to a halt. as you can see in this video, the tags that were there to secure the convoy sees because of the being trampled and cautiously tries to disperse the mob. with a few warning shots to windsor hundreds became thousands and things got out out of and the tank commander decided to retreat to avoid harm to the cells of gauze that were there. these real defense forces operate according to the rules of engagement and the international. no id if the strike was conducted towards the 8 can avoid the how much trend health ministry in gaza has presented a different version of events saying more than 100 civilians was shot dead by is really troops while waiting for aid eye witnesses said that some drug drivers

tried to escape the is really fire, causing deaths and injuries. and some of the wounded said they were hit by. is there any gunshots? by the, by, after the stop shooting, we went back to get our aide. by the time i got flour and some canned goods and took it down from the truck, they shot at us. if you want to get us a this way, then you might as well not bring anything. the us says it's trying to establish exactly what happened and that the incident underscore is the need to expand the supply of humanitarian aid into gaza. 2 things are clear. one, just in the aerial footage. you can look at that and, and right away, conclude the situation is incredibly desperate. and that tells you that we need to do more to get him out of turn system. so uh, and then the 2nd thing is that too many palestinians died today, as has been through far too many days since october 7th. and so that's why we

continue to push for a temporary cease fire agreement. president joe biden has worn that it could complicate the negotiations underway between israel and home us to reach a temporary hold in the fighting. it's all from what i'm showing now by journalists husband lucia, who was in gaza, but it's now in amman. jordan, how's that there? are now calls for international independent investigation into the incident. what do we know so far? it's not easy to tell the full story. there are different stories coming from 3 different sign. said no, i to list 3, but yeah, is where you decide which is saying that the, the gathering and people crash and the mouse and the men is through filth. saying that it's directly because of his or 80 shooting. testimonies from the ground, different social media. and platforms that people are taking that the 3,

the combine of the 3 reasons caused all of, of this late. there was a shooting from his were 8 assigned to, um, some people got injured because of the pallets or strap. nose. uh some people say that the deluxe uh, crushed on them and um, some others said that, you know, like there was rumbling and, and, and because of that huge number of gathering, it's not the 1st time that there was delivery and in the same way. but this time was very in the morning and the number of trucks and the people were waiting but was very huge. us says the clear less than from this tragedy is that more aid must be sent to gaza, but shouldn't it also be distributed differently? hudson is, is this something that is real, might agree to as well. this is the key point. actually everybody is talking

about increasing the number of a entering garza. but the problem there, of course there is a huge need which is very clear and obvious. but the mckinney is in is absent and there is no body or in the organization is taking care of the way of the deliveries or the aid. arriving garza safety. specifically the north. and that is not clear. people are waiting at the areas where expect the trucks to come through and, and, and cause all of this. there is no and no, and or the in the north garza, the absence of the lease. no, no guards at and, and there are different organizations for delivering so within a to the y'alls of cd, and they never to distribute it in different way the yesterday and the day before they were at drops and the noise. but some of them the,

the reach days were 80 communities because of the air and the wind actually. and so the, the, the distribution is, is not clear for the people. and plus, it doesn't reach all the categories or the people who are still in the north have got this trip. housing, thanks for talking with us. again this that was journalist housing felicia in amman . jordan, thank you. sale to prussia and alex they, nevada. and these funeral is set to take place in moscow today under tight security . the bulk of putting critic died in detention 2 weeks ago in the north arctic prison where he was being held on. what supporters have called politically motivated charges. mourners are gathering at the church where and of all these funeral service is expected to be held. the crowd has been placed behind fences that security forces. so help throughout the morning. opposition activists believe

that russian authorities tried to block a public ceremony to avoid potential street protests. let's go straight over to our correspondent years chef, how he joins us from riga, from where he's been reporting since russian authorities close down dw most go bureau. right? there's not a lot of confusion surrounding the preparations for nevada and these funeral. what can you tell us about it at this point on the following is expected to be fair to late out in the church. she wasn't religious man who was committed because there was an orthodox code. the funeral service is to take place at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, most go time and attendance in the might of, you know, district of law school galaxy in the valley. by the way, a lift with his family, he will then be barrett as the bodies of square assembled 3 close to this church. according to media republic. this summits right has been specially secured by the police since yesterday. as the police have also be money towing the cemetery

reportedly since yesterday, and some into a few ends, devices have also reportedly been installed to disrupt the more bio connection item members. these from my time in moscow when the alternatives also do set up to the mobile connection during the pro test. so that are very high security measures as to the cemetery. and as a church, and as for all of us, it is in russia, alex and of all his team has called on russians across the country to lay flowers in front of the monuments through political depressed, acute people today as a sign of the last on or for the that opposition politician down the bottom, these widow julian know about now you said she didn't know whether the funeral would be peaceful. what do you mean by that erie what might happen as well? it's 2 weeks before the election of the presidential election, the criminal needs anything but to protest in russia allowed protest. uh, and of all the voice of the politician who was best able to bring the masses onto

his feet. so those protest will often not peaceful because to the police arrest of thousands of people. and that is why the details of the funeral are kept small, less secrets to avoid disease protest. i would have been by, by the way, when the volunteer returned to moscow for years, a go off to his treatment in gemini, following, pausing, and russia. he's blaine was turned around shortly before landing, so that as few people as few gentlest as possible could welcome him and put a couple of these. he is the return at these times and of all the people haven't cold for protest as far as i know. instead, they said that the russians should express savannah protested by voting and scooting in the presidential elections of march 17th. but no one can guarantee terry that to the year is that there might be unrest today as well. you mentioned the upcoming election yury. everything points to yes, another term for blinding me a protein as president. what is the say about the call?

is that nevada and the false indict for your to well, there has been no political position in the rest of fall. yeah. so what this cold, if the position is a do minus extra loyal to the grandma and the government, if it is clearly reflected in the fact that it's not, of the duma parties are speaking out against the board. the only presidential candidate to speak with against it was not allowed to stand for election in this respect and of all is death doesn't or didn't change anything bought. despite the v is pretends critics who leave mainly abroad well not to give up. they say we saw usually on of all a off, for example, the by for the veto of and of all the easy you, parliament and wednesday, presented herself as a husband successor. it won't be easy for him because president putin is still very popular in russia. and when it comes to the elections, as it has a problem with the volt participation, most the russians will certainly not go to the pulse of this time as a, as,

as many times. and they go, because most russians have absolutely no interest in politics is at least by that much. all the states should leave me alone. i'll manage on my own. somehow erie, thank you very much for your insights. dw is yuri research over there in re go now motors in the red are costing their ballots for members of parliament and a key religious party called the assembly of experts. election is seen as a measure of public sentiment towards iran's establishment. after mass protests up again and 2022 authorities were hoping for a good showing on like the last parliamentary elections in 2020 that pole saw the lowest turn out since the 1979 is lubbock revolution of the the signs they're everywhere. and the messaging is clear, you're on has been scrambling to boost voter turnout ahead of friday's election. it's introducing electronic loading and several cities. and the number of female

candidates vying for a seat is more than double what it was in the last problem entry election in 2020. but the government's efforts appear to be falling on deaf ears. my chest, i should leslie, i will not take part in this election without this because the results of the last 2 elections were not good to you on this group novel on the terms. the biggest problem with the election is the people's lack of trust in parliament. of political distrust and an ailing economy have helped fuel voter apathy, although the elections are seen as a crucial barometer for legitimacy. the government's own surveys show participation will be well below 50 percent. friday's vote includes polls for members of parliament, and the assembly of experts will have the power to appoint who runs the supreme leader. the country system of pre approve and candidates has led to mass disqualifications and the removal of true choice,

according to critics of the current hard line government. you know, you don't even know. yeah. into all the time. the word election is completely meaningless. it should be called an anti election or non election road, and the good bottom of the election is rejected by the people and these lumnick republicans don't sell it to them, but not doing that for sure. the memory of mazda many is also casting a long shadow over this years boat. the 22 year old curtis iranian died after she was taken into police custody for allegedly violating the islamic dress code. the death led to wave of mass protests against the hid job law and other social issues in 2022. the movement was violently crushed by authorities. but the demands for change and an end to these logic republics rule enjoy watching dw news from berlin top. next we've got

a documentary film for you taking us on the deep dive into the world of aero plankton. and if you don't know what that is, state to terry martin, thanks for watching the ice cold. jessica new next edition ventures on to places that no one has to explore climate research in the ice, the dos march 3rd on dw, the we live in a well.
