the, the, this is the w news, live from berlin, the 1st to thinking of a cargo ship attacked by rebels in the red sea. the british owned vessel was carrying more than $40000.00 tons of fertilizer. young men is warning of a looming environmental catastrophe. we'll hear from green piece. also coming up. the united states joins and international operation to air drop desperately needed supplies into gauze. the biden's ministration says israel supports us efforts, as thank you when again warrants hundreds of thousands of palestinians face famine and kremlin east. dropping officials in berlin investigate

a leak russian reporting of high ranking german officers discussing ukraine using german cruise missiles. the mariana evans, dean. it's good to have you with us. a cargo ship attacked by the rebels and the red sea has sunk. it's the 1st vessel lost since the human and grew begin targeting commercial shipping. that it says is linked to israel. the british owned a ruby mar, was carrying more than 40000 tons of fertilizer when it was hit by a missile and began taking in water nearly 2 weeks ago. yeah. mons internationally recognized government as warning that the sinking could cause and environmental catastrophe. i was bringing julian dress onto, he is the regional director for green peace and joins me from the lebanese capital

bay roots welcome to the w. so a sunken vessel with more than $40000.00 tons of fertilizer. we just mentioned e evans, government warning of an environmental catastrophe. so just how bad is this? yeah, that'd be for. thank you for hosting me. well, it's a $1000000.00 question. it's very hard to answer this question because we really need to understand what the situation is. we don't have 1st hand information of what the cargo is and how it distorts the information that we've seen in the news is that it is most likely i'm ammonium nitrate. and there are a lot of risk associated with such, spill. read, understands for the amount of nitrate is a very, it's a 1st that either with high acidity and therefore such the risk can disrupt the ph balance of this money in ecosystem and cause various effect on spaces in the water

column. a global ocean vacation is a global phenomenon that you are currently experiencing due to a accessed c o 2 in the atmosphere because of our addition to prosecute. and therefore, such global phenomena will be investigated by, by such spills. another important potential, in fact, is as the is that the large influx of nitrogen a due to the spill in the body in the system will fewer what it's called a blue. and this aldo go with create an imbalance as well in the body, in ecosystem. and we'll have test cutting expect through all the, for the web, and might therefore impact other spaces that rely on this because this. so depending also on the secret on this either doing can be can find itself and use the cost and could directly impact the precious photos of a good i'd see by looking direct sunlight from reaching them. so really in essence, a spill of ammonium nitrate for the lights are in the see not only for the

immediate risk of look at life as to the physician in the cities, but also has the potential to, to disrupt the delicate balance of money into co systems. leading to harmful rooms and impacting various species within the legal system. so this is clearly a very serious incident, but is there anything that can be done? is there a way to clean the water or purify it or somehow limit the damage? so again, it's hard to tell because of the information, and that's why the immediate action that needs to be taking is to provide immediate access to the shipper to the shipwrecked site for an expert to products, but response team to assess the situation as swiftly devised and implement image as the plan we need to understand. so what is the car go on board? is it only i'm going to nitrate other, other toxic material or other material in,

in the cargo? how well is the, is the my to use towards? isn't much of your already leaking, can i be the tree of so many on the answer, the question that we need that we need to be answered as soon as possible. that was julie andrea sante from green peas. thank you so much. my pleasure. the u. s. has joined an international operation to air drop desperately needed supplies into gossum. the by and administration says israel supports this intervention to bolster existing efforts by jordan and other nations. the when his warning that famine and gaza is almost inevitable unless a deliveries increase significantly. or next report contains images that some viewers might find distressing and filling each item. the boys have survive and is trying to use try consent to go so many of the, the not. but the fighting in the gaza strip isn't the only danger alice damian's

face. disease and famine have become a major threat. children are most at risk. starvation has mounted in the lives of several of the children. so the official records yesterday or this morning said the 10th child officially registered in the hospital as having starved to death. a very sad threshold, similar, sad as to 30000 best. we reached all the cause of the, the unofficial numbers can unfortunately be expected to be higher. and the don't describe being that the network just eat up drug cost is for the dates from goes up to date on friday. and scores of palestinians were killed as the fit. i'm beat and beat on why the, how most on who ministry and survivors pick you. these are the army of opening fire

on the crowd is very said limited shots were fired near the eat gone way, but insisted that most of the dead with trumpets run over by the 8 drugs. c you wouldn't deem has visited a chip, a hospital on friday. it's reported having seen a large number of gunshot victims. the incident has amplified the demand for more each to be delivered without delay. the bring egypt and jordan decent, b, it dropped essential items in casa. now, so you are safe, it would deliver humanitarian aid to be a bad assure to why president joe biden pushes is right to improve a better we're going to insisted israel facilitate more trucks and more routes to get more and more people in the help i need no excuses because the truth is a flooring. augusta is nowhere nearly enough now. snow or nearly enough. and it's

a large on the line. it shows lines are on a line, and we won't stand by unless we get more a bite and has also signaled i seized by d between mazda missouri would be each to which many here who would be lifeline, destruction and loss like martin of kings college london told me a short time ago how the us military operation could work. so it is, as you would imagine, you know, you fly a plane and then you push supplies out the back. but what you need is an area on the grounds that has been at least cleared or secured. so i would imagine the us is going to be trying to push the 8 out near the coast, so it can flying over the sea and said it is not flying or the gaza, which is obviously a woodside. but then you need

a top now on the ground either the is riley's or perhaps one of the 8 agencies who have in some way, designated an area that this i can land and it's actually very, very difficult to do what is know your own people on the ground a securing the landing zone for your planes. so you mentioned some of the challenges of this, of course is still in active world zone and you need people on the ground. so is this even going to help if there isn't some sort of security on the ground in gaza as these 8 packages are pushed out of the plane as you described this? well, i think actually you've hit the nail on the heads. is this going to be effective? a plane? so how do these play? which is one of the 2 options that the u. s. ministry has, can carry about 20 tons worth of supplies. a shipping container that goes on the back of the truck is, so i ti talked and so if you go, you know,

a 10 truck convoy or 20 truck convoy, that's the 300 tons or 600 tons. so you know, an order of magnitude bigger. so really what i think we need to ask ourselves is, is this just for show you can at any dropped food medicines quite difficult because they get broken water yukon, drop. and as we've discussed, the mounts that you can actually deliver all very difficult. and we've already spoken about the deacon fiction problems. so i think that, you know, if we're cynical, we could argue that this is all of a small impact on the overall sky of the program. and really, i know the us is not getting much joy from these ratings, but really that is the route to opening up. the humanitarian problem is for these raise to allow more trucks into gaza. that was mike martin with the king's college london. many thanks indeed for your insights. thank you. now to

some of the other stories making headlines around the world, a child's military ruler says he'll run in presidential elections and name my how much interest dave is. announcement comes just days after an oppositional leader was killed during an army right in his party headquarters. human rights groups have called for an investigation into the incident. russian for ministers sort of a level says that additional weapons will be deployed to regions that may face threats from finland and sweden. his statement came just days after hungry parliament approved sweden's bid to join nato. finland join the military alliance. last april. was. well, german is defense, ministry has confirmed that a conversation between air force generals was wire tapped. the audio recording, published by russian media details confidential, military talks on the board ukraine. the german generals are her discussing

ukrainian forces, potentially using german made torres cruise missiles to attack the bridge linking crimea to russia. for lynn has so far refused to supply t of with the long range weapons. chancellor, all of schultz is promising swift clarification of the recording desktop. predict what is being reported is very serious and that's why it is necessary to begin a very thorough intensive uninterrupted investigation. we'll finish that was a german chancellor. all of schultz speaking there, let him hear se paul from w as russia service told me more about watson german generals have to say, yes it's, it's a half an hour. talk about the details of possible just if possible, possible, possible delivery of dollars to day ukraine, technical details, technical splits. it is a certifications. and i'll tell other countries i already gave the ukraine the

cruise, the cruise missiles like u. k, into us doing this. it's mentioned in the debates, have people on the ground, the cost, but there are some they have some guys on the ground and degrade. and is it talks about some american guys, the grantsville, and the german general's office, talking about people instead of close this ticket, talking? american excellent. and then is another one sensitive subject to the russian property. because of that, what's the debate about how do breached on connecting crossover with the can? i mean it could be just right, but it's our is how many taurus results will be used for these panel trying to use . and so there's a 1000, it's highly sensitive from time to expose the, for, for, for us and public opinion as well. so what could be russia's aim in publishing this kind of a sensitive intelligence and doing it now, as i would say it, it's, it's to get into the 1st one is to signal to the german government and consuming

the army leadership that are assa knows what is being developed on closet metering sources of it, the kind of access to the stocks and containment contaminants, them in general. and the 2nd one is there are some ones too many domains only needed think twice before delivering a cruise me south lake towers to ukraine, or did you have any other kind of a heavy bed consider ukraine? because the question is, how far can germany going? so far one's going to go in supporting degrees without, without becoming the part of this work to come in and directly involve to this to the store. because, because it's like very old, this very open strangers for smoke. so the euro and very, very, to be complications for europe after such a step. that was the delay is flooded. mirror epa flat

a mirror. thank you. and that's the latest on the table. you use this our up next choice as follows. an indian woman's desire to break into the world of rent, a marietta evans theme from me and the entire news team. thanks for watching the floating away when it's 40 degrees celsius in the shade, can be deadly during times of climate change. how do rising temperatures change out the reports from the internal heat, march 15th on dw, so not the life i want.
