capable of taking out the bunk cars and over $45.00 facilities. the officers speak about sending them to ukraine. they also mentioned possible targets, including the coach bridge. they can cry me a river, russia seen by ukraine as a symbol of wishing occupation. one officer allegedly sites this. we've looked closely at the bridge. it is unfortunately like a landing strip due to its size. that means it is entirely possible we would need 10 or 20 messiahs. it's a major embarrassment for german chancellor, olaf sholtes. he's permits to get to the bottom of a leak. that's desktop evicted web design. what's being reported is very serious. that's why it's necessary to begin a very thorough intensive and rapid investigation. schultz, how so far, refused to send taurus massages to ukraine, to the stray sion of many low may cuz his concerns they could be used to hit target some questions. soil sampling,

the recording was posted the social media by marguerite to simone young. ahead of which in state broadcast a r c. credit and officials are clearly enjoying the moment. so suitable is biased and was this, i didn't know how to describe what happened and i was like no but, and they to colleagues, obviously involved. and so, and then i don't know how they will explain that to their own population. what is the new booth? so he's got a sliding listen in germany's ministry is scrambling to look the leak and wondering whether any more of its conversations could have been tight over to the middle east . now, where the u. s. has joined an international operation to air dropped desperately needed supplies into casa, depends, gone, says 3 air force planes card at the 1st drops up around $38000.00 meals. divide in administration says israel supports it's intervention to bolster existing efforts by jordan on other nations. you

n is wanting assignment and gaza is almost inevitable unless a deliveries increased significantly. a warning that our next report contains distressing images. consoling each other. the boys have survived and is rarely asked right in central garza. many others did not. but the fighting and the gaza strip isn't the only danger palestinians face disease and famine have become a major threat. children's almost at risk. salvation has now taken the lives of several children. so the official records yesterday or this morning said there was a tens child officially registered in the hospital as having starved to death. a very sad threshold, similar, sad as to 30000 best through each dollar because of the, the unofficial numbers can unfortunately be expected to be higher and the toll is

climbing atari network, l g, a 0 broad costs. this footage from kansas city on friday. when schools of palestinians were killed, as they surrounded an 8 convoy the mass run, health ministry, and survivors accused these really army of opening fire on the crowd. israel said limited shots was by near the convoy, but insisted that most of the dead were trampled or run over by the a trucks. a u. n. team visited el cheapo hospital on friday. it reported having seen a large number of gun shop victims the instant has amplified the demo on for more a to be delivered without delay, neighboring egypt and jordan recently add dropped, essential items into the cause a strip. now the us as followed suit. well,

preston joe biden pushes israel to improve other groups. we're going to, it consisted israel facilitate more trucks and more help 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 was nearly enough and it's a large on the line. it shows lives are on the line and we won't stand by unless we get more a bite and has also signaled a ceasefire deal between us and israel could be reached soon, which many here hope would be a lifeline and the destruction unless the w correspondent, washington correspondent analogy milan told us why the us chose to drop a know after months of and 19 to month, terry and crisis. well,

the board and administration had been looking into air drops like these for weeks now, but they say that they haven't done so until now. because of the logistical challenges involved, but what really appears to have move the needle this time around is that incident that we described in that report. we just aired that incidents around the depths around that humanitarian convoys, or is really troops are accused of opening fire on palestinians trying to get food from those aid trucks. now there's a lot of uncertainty still around what actually happened there. but white house spokes person, john kirby said that that incident that highlighted the need to get more creative way to find more creative ways of getting greater assistance in to gaza. and at scale us officials really treating this like a key event that highlights the darkness of the situation in gaza. also worth pointing out that this is happening at a time where the bite and administration is facing

a lot of pressure over it's is really policy wide and expanding a lot of political capital here. losing a lot of support along, especially young voters here in the us. he's under pressure to be showing to show that he's doing what he can for the palestinians. but obviously there is this rebuild the reasonable debate going around now as to how much difference air drops it without any kind of systematic distribution for how much difference that will really make. and is this actually intended to send a message to the is really government will divide. an administration has been quick to stress that these air drops or the beginning that we will be seeing more of them at the same time. they're also quick to stress that these are not a substitute for age deliver adult via land core doors. so the a, so the message about the bite and administration clearly wants to send to israel here is that it should do more to open up those outline crossings to allow more aid

in. but of course, there's this argument that these air drops would not be necessary if the u. s. were in fact able to pressure israel to open up these land crossings. and as such, critics say that the message that biden is inadvertently sending is that washington is unable or unwilling to use the leverage that it has over israel to push israel to open those line crossings to getting more 8. and instead the u. s. is having to resort to what critics call a band aid measure of these air drops of that many deemed risky and ineffective maldonado in d. c. thank you so much. let's take a look now. some other stories making headlines around the world. thousands of anti government pro gestures have rallied in cities across israel. they're demanding early elections, and that prime minister benjamin netanyahu step down this now his popularity has plummeted since the october 7. how must terrorist attack protest her is also called for the release of hostages. still held in gaza at least 7 people have been killed

in a russian drone attack on the ukrainian 4th of odessa and president flood of music landscape says the show had drone was supplied by iran. he's urging ukraine's western allies to send it more air defense systems. a cargo ship attacked by who is the rebels and the red sea has sunk is the 1st best. so last since the how many group began targeting commercial shipping, it says is linked to israel. the purchase owned ruby mar was carrying thousands of tons of specialized or when it was hit by a messiah and began taking in water nearly 2 weeks ago. young men's internationally recognized government as warring, the sinking could cause and environmental catastrophe. are there? i asked paul horseman from green peace, international high bank. the environmental impact could be well, it's very difficult to assess the big factors. you've got about 41000 tons of photo

eliza being thrown into the ocean. and together with kansas tons of the oil, the fuel of the ship and together those could, could create so once once a center this could create an environmental disaster in the area. so what's needed, ray is immediate action to assess the situation and, and, and try to try to recover as much as possible. and um, i think we have some fits this year of the ship just before it's sunk. and there's quite in same pictures. um, the government team did visit the ship before a site. have there been any efforts to limit or to clean up the damage. here, as i said, is he going to say, i mean to say the internationally recognized government, they said people to see the sheriff bus as far as any kind of recovery. busy

salvage efforts, as far as we know, that's not started yet, because evaluating costs area to operate at the moment. we all know the political situation. but really, there's a, has to be a huge amount of assets combined with 2 of us there in order to get to the ship in order to assess the damage. and also the recover as much as possible just by divide to the political difficulties and hire a foothold can instance like this be prevented from happening again. well, 1st of all, the ships do sometimes have a tendency to bump into the land. i mean, this has been a casualty and a different kind of sense. i normally spoken, you would have to pay the insurance companies. you have a, the un the, i'm oh, you'd have salvage express. you had a lot of people immediately in the sense in there. but the situation there is not

normal at the moment, so it really is quite tired. it's so important to get people to the region, to frontier, to the evidence and really making assessments of the situation and recover to get recover as much as possible from, from the vessel. okay. i, i task that would be extremely difficult for me to know. so i can sense of the situation that we have there. i think it would be very interesting. and i mean, i think it's just difficult to see these images and to wonder about how and much is going to be impacted as a result of this. what, what are by the wildlife in the, in the see, how are they going to be affected by this as well, there is a danger coast. i mean, you're talking about, you know, a huge amount of socializing, which is chemicals leaking into the sea. the, the, the red sea is one of the wells most important by the us, the areas with, with, and carl's and other marine life,

the only lifting the rich garren damage to the region. and it stretched the fish houses to the doctor as at the moment is on a notable, but it is certainly bad and would be both would be both severe and long lasting if we couldn't get as much of packing material last the ship as possible in this stage pull horsemen from green piece. thank you so much. thank you. and finally, pop royalty has graced the red carpet in london for the biggest night in british music at the annual breast awards. kylie minogue was named this year's brit global icon to lisa one best pop act bought the big winner was the singer songwriter ray, the rising star, one song of the year and such a new record for the most winds in a single night. the
