a german is flagship airlines, national train service. go on strike, people across the country could be looking at a week of transportation. the . i'm gonna have those as well come to the program. after 5 months of conflict between israel and homos, the u. n. is wanting that at least one quarter of gauze us population is at risk of famine. since the how mazda attacks, october 7th, israel has periodically blocked the flow of humanitarian aid to the gaza, strip you and says that it's trying to find a way to deliver more supplies using and is really military road. bordering garza, the us, egypt, jordan and the united of and let's add dropping aid into the territory. but the officials say add drops are

a last resort and simply not sufficient to prevent starvation waiting for food to fall from the sky. this is what an a drop in gaza looks like. each one sets off or race, and there is no prize for the losers to since the morning, the plan has been dropping a and a brand after it. we went to the sea to the east to the west. we went down so i got nothing. according to the you in israel has blocked some humanitarian aid, sent by land to gaza. they say a drops are far from the best solution. we have to have a plan that allows us to, you know, prevent funding the need to significantly scale up the humanity of assistance in this. and we have to get up at least $300.00 trucks a day, right? know we're lucky forgetting about a $150.00. the few resources that are getting in are not enough to feed the

millions who are in gaza. at least 20 children have died of famine in the territory so far. then this better less up. that is when we eat breakfast, i bring each of my daughter was a piece of plane bread to make the little food. we can't eat anything else. there's no healthy food. all our food brings us diseases. i need the preventers, no food to enable me to breast feed my child, and i can't by whom no other that i should be the heavy when they according to the mos run garza health ministry, the palestinian that's all has now reached more than $30000.00 without a rapid humanitarian solution for starvation. that number could soon climb south. africans has made a new application to the international court of justice, asking you to prevent simon in the gaza strip south africa seeking an emergency or to compel you as well to allow more aid into the territory, as well as lost and offensive, and regardless of routes out mazda,

following the turn of the task of october 7, south africa as urge the courts to florida full parties to seize hostilities and release all hostages entertaining as right of return. as refugees. earlier i spoke to ballad dean hays, a journalist until a v f. and he's been talking to people in garzon and i asked him, well, they were telling him about the situation that to say that the situation is very bad on the statement because of the lack of the human to be an a. the, the food scare set the all over goes up. it's also telling me the process has chung full foods and medicine, 500 to 600 percent. so what was and one struggle is now 600 is ready shekels. so some people actually pay old what we have in order to buy some food. as for the family, he's also telling me that the people are literally killing each other. they are attacking each other with knives while fight the older flower and food them. that

situation actually made some sort of uh, gags, all, regardless of groups of people, certainly to get up to steel as much as possible of the aid that comes in because there's not many for everyone and to secure the food and the medicine for their own group but so also are filling that in order to have some money to buy uh for the future. so families that were suppressed by almost doing the rules. we were talking about the cloud. uh, julie from us as ruth was surprised. but now, because a mazda does not print the back a game, each one does he go food and medicine for the own people, and the latest air drop that was a, from the, a, you, sorry, from the you the, it was fine. that's what they're telling me, but the previous one, we're talking about the air drop from the us up on a partnership with de georgina, and they didn't know why the air drop me was on the see. sure. this is telling me

that many of the 8 was actually carried by the wind inside the c o sarcastically, they're saying that the fish embassy got more of what we have gotten. so the situation is very, quite a bad and that's about as well. so i'll have forgotten, has filed a new request to the international court of justice. what have the reactions been from inside as well? well, not many officials talked about this, but we've seen that the, the for a ministry actually asked the court to dismiss uh that the request um, uh, as we see that this is the 2nd time that's not money. uh, you know, uh, titles here it talks about what south africa's trying to do in the, the, hey, because this room maybe knows right now that the courts can actually have any ability to stop the rough, our, uh, code for a ceasefire. uh so right now we have only before a ministry s t v, a c j to just dismiss this request,

something that's probably going to happen. generalist blake's letting that until the for us. thank you. ukraine continues to urge its allies to boost um supplies with russia having made advances on the front line after long style might re ukraine, withdrew troops from the t town of difficult last month. moscow says it has since taken control of several villages around its chief is trying to bolster its forces and has a new approach to mobilizing volunteers. the w's sonya found the con, fault this report, or an appeal back to not just to keep fits, but to prepare for the buried real one sleep of ankles as an english teacher in keats. he's decided to join the ukrainian army. i have lost the meaning of my civil life. civilian people died like every day. and it's not a joke. once

a month i wake up, do do to explosions. oh, flashing messiah was born being key. and in this case, learning programming or becoming a developer or grades in your family, it feels like you're a law. i'm lying to myself. felipe wants to become a soldier and who defend this country. instead of waiting for the drop notice that would assign him to a random military unit. felipe is chopping his own thoughts as bought, forbids to boost recruitment. ukrainians can choose that own military goals. she wants to serve in the dubbing. she was the prestigious unit, only accept volunteer, so it's offering jobs in the infantry and for meetings, but also in logistics and tune operations. after the initial 5 de camp applicants

can sign the contract and get advanced training. at the time when you create needs more soldiers, fuel people are willing to fight. many do want to help the war effort, but not only on the front line, the government has done to the market to help flood as lovely z hits a major online recruitment agency that works with the defense ministry. for the advertise pauses of jobs with hundreds of military units provide information and help with the recruitment process. here's different forces around forces, navy air forces, div received over 74000 applications so far for positions ranging from tribals mechanics, communication and i. t specialist engineers to sort soldiers and even don't train us to the whole process is voluntary for society, for people,

it's very important to control the future as much as possible. people want to trust the future colemander, they want to know that it would be professional. but this flexible approach has not been enough to address the actual problem of boosting. coup numbers at the front lot is love admits the biggest vacancies in the infantry and medical call. back near the recruitment center for deep is happy with how this into the wind. he hopes to sign up soon and split on others to do the same. it's difficult to imagine how horrible war is on the line unless you leave in ukraine. i want to in cottage, my friends, who is my own example that you put in and people have to join army, otherwise, we will lose our country. phillips is being able to choose, the unity trust was the reason people into a soft approach that helped him make a hard decision. so what does you find?

need more right now, man, palm amunition. i put that a question to military analyst marina mirror on north kings. college london to hello gerhardt. well, it's a difficult question to answer. i think ukraine needs bose and probably the 1st thing they would need are munitions. because when i was at the recruitment process requires also these people to go through training and they need to be equipped and they weren't in need to be attached to specific units um, before they can be assigned to the front lines that takes longer. so in the short term, i think munitions would be number one, but of course it's very difficult to say they need one thing more or the as a one thing doesn't exclude the other way. it seems very ukrainians on the hold on adults very keen to join the fight. is that an admission that not everyone believes

that this will can be one? 0, there are different reasons for this. and we have seen the 2 premiums were roland tearing at the very beginning of the war. but now is this war for the cast that in? and as some ukrainian military officials have pointed out, it's not just the believe set world cannot be one. it's also the fact that um, the president might be under playing the situation on the ground. meanings of people who haven't been drafted yet, do not feel the urgency to join in meaning they, they probably think, well, if i wait long enough, it will be over. and this kind of information dissemination, skews the picture and undermines the ukrainians will to join in because a sink or a portion of them thinks everything is going just fine on the battlefield even without me. now ukraine's parliament has heatedly debated the bill that would expand mobilization,

but it seems no one is willing to push that law across the finish line. what do you make of that to? well, the problems was that you'll have started already in december of 2023 when um john rose loose and he will still occupying his post. i think already ends up when the discussions regarding specific provisions when it comes, for instance, to punishments, have made it very unpopular amongst a population. and there was this fee or is that this little could actually pull arise the population, for instance, those who have high incomes and pay a lot of taxes would be extend from the lou. and so there is a lot of discussion, but now what we have to understand the rather we have to prove the law and then the president himself will have to sign the law meanings that he approves all the

provisions in the more including rolled and things are mobilization and increasing punishments for draft dodgers, which would make it much more in popular given the fact that already now people are trying to escape the, the, the, the recruitment personnel on the streets. and there are a lot of videos from ukraine where people kind of learning tricks on how to do that . so it seems that it would, for us, are under mine's a social cohesion inside ukraine and possibly decrease president will ask his readings even 1st or one of the story homeless number on there for us. thank you very much. marina. thank you for having me. a british foreign minister david cameron has met with his german counterpart, honestly. not bad bulk in bel, in the pad discussed by last row corporation, as well as the situation in ukraine and gaza. the top diplomat stress the need for

a loss to increase 5 to enable most human and salary and assistance to reach people in gossip. they also discussed the importance of giving more military a to ukraine, cameron and bad bulk stress, the continued commitment to helping ukraine resist rushes, aggression that's close open out to dw political correspondent, simon young, who is following the talks that at the front ministry in berlin, simon why this meeting now? well, get hold to this meeting was a regular meeting as part of the circle that you k jim and the strategic dialogue. i a sort of continuing bilateral adults and that's why load cameron, as a u. k. foreign minister was here in the lane today, but of course, this meeting comes against the backdrop of these international crises. those were

the center of these tools. we've been told that namely the war in ukraine at the desire of both countries to do as much as they can to support ukraine's to defensive itself. and of course, also the fighting in gaza and appeals to both sides in that conflict, to somehow bring it to an end, or at least to bring about a seats in the fighting. now with regard to the ukraine, that the minister say anything new about military support. so i wouldn't say that there was anything particularly new. what is clear is that they did discuss that question of how much support can be given uh, david cameron at saying that, you know, it's important that everybody does everything that they can. and he was honest about the wisdom of sending a medium to long range missiles. of course, it's been a big debate here,

whether to send jim it is taurus that miss out to ukraine. cameron said that to the british may solve they've sent, has helped it help it from his perspective. it has helped ukraine defend itself against russian aggression. and the, i think implicitly that for cooling on germany to do what it can in that regard as well. but that there are no commitments being made public. i think it's about at, as it would just demonstrating that support the both these countries together want to give now a britain this front of the service. so that has not visited villain since taken office is that assigned the relations on what they used to be as well i think that have been strained particularly recently over this question of a linked phone conversation between senior members of germany's air force and the lake to suggestion that there are pretty streets on the ground,

at least it's very small numbers in ukraine at that so ruffled a lot of feathers, but at the base of 4 ministers, we're not commenting on that scandal here today. i. they weighing indeed both saying that they, they worked very closely together and that they've got that they are on the same page on both of these major conflicts. and indeed, david cameron said, you know, this bridge is conservative and this is jim and green are absolutely joined together. so that's the, some of that message they want to send, at least on. and so in terms of the public appearance, your political correspond to some of the young man. thank you simon. that sort of thought some of the other stories making headlines. you know, the central bank has left its t, you're a zone interest rate, a direct quote, high of 4 percent after it's monetary, public policy meeting needs to be says,

it is waiting for more confirmation that inflation is indeed under control even as high borrowing cost drug on the store, the economy, the, the all 3 on the property mode, you ran a bank who has filed for bankruptcy months after his real estate firm secret i went boss signal have states in the chrysler building and self, which is bank of famously used to boast that only the bridge royal family and the pope had a more exclusive property portfolio than us presidential by the peers ready for an election re match this november with donald trump. but opinion polls indicate a majority of votes has been keys too old for the job. that includes more than 60 percent of those who actually voted for by last time. joe biden is in a bind, a med low pulling numbers and a series of public golf. widespread concern over his age and his fitness as a candidate does not appear to be fading away. yes, i worried about his age and yes,

i think he should set them of the democrats will be more likely to win if somebody else has to nominate. i do think it's time for younger people to finally have their say. a recent poll conducted by the new york times and sienna college shows that majority of voters who supported biden in the 2020 elections say he's too old to be an effective leader. and the 2nd term, his republican rival, former president donald trump. so only a few years younger and also prone to confuse statements has fewer voters saying they're worried about his age. now that the super tuesday primaries are in the rear view mirror delegates will soon officially hand the nomination to bite. and in august of the democratic national convention in chicago, a search, the polls are worrisome. as their biden's public stumbles, appearing to embody voters concerns. if even lead sound to ask, could there be an alternative divided and this late in the game, how would that even work? well, an alternate town to the,

to the president could materialize with cooperation from wealth. by that you would have a lot of the political science as larry cyber to explains that 0 medically bite and could step aside and make way for another candidate. here's how it could happen. if a candidate withdrew the candidate receiving the majority of the convention, delegates withdrew them. in essence, the convention would have to decide what the rules are. they would at least start out with a lean toward complet harris toward the vice president. but i'm sure there would be other candidates there is of course series, and then there's reality biden is unlikely to ever step aside. he has spent his entire life trying to get to be president and incredibly incredible. at the age of 78. he made it. do you seriously think that he would step aside willingly, the boy,

the constitution requires to have to do so. if democrats had an obvious, very popular nominee, then maybe there would be some pressure from the people who count on biden to withdraw. well, there is it. and therefore, there is, it is the question of replacing bite and is a non starter, and a keyboard are concerned centers around something that bite and cannot possibly change. it begs the question, what can the democrats do? the board and campaign appears to want to limit and control public appearances to decrease the likelihood of missteps. but media specialist dan kennedy says they can only convince voting americans by letting them see as much of biden as possible. they have to convince them to get out there and meet voters, give speeches, sit down for interviews, would be porters, which he's been very reluctant to do. and you know, if he performs well,

i think that will answer the questions if he doesn't perform well. well, i suppose that doesn't was the problem, but i don't know that it makes it any bigger a problem than they have all righty. so i think they need to take the chance and get them out there with the general election now in full swing, the bite and campaign has 8 months to do just that. to get the president to show what he is so capable of at $81.00. despite the risks of slips along the way, and in germany is thousands of flights and trains that across the country will be canceled this week. lufthansa and deutsche a bon stuff going on. strike is the latest. been a series of all across the different sectors including transport, the civil service and supermarkets was one the higher wages to cope with drinking purchasing power around $200000.00 app has such as will be effected over 2 days as

well as millions of try and travelers delays and cancellations are expected to last until saturday. dw reports that our balcony is following that story for us at fine fits international ample and little early. and i also why travelers are grappling with 2 transport strikes today. so in this year alone, germany, germany has been hit by a number of strikes, not only transport strikes as we are facing today, but also different sectors such as farmers in germany, unions are very strong and what they are using as leverage right now is the fact that inflation is still high and that there is a shortage of skilled workers. so they are using this to push through their demands . what are they asking for the asking for an increased pay the asking for an installation compensation. and in the case of the g d o, the german trained drivers unit to also asking for a reduction of 14 hours now do travel is in the german bill must be of area and we do have any understanding,

any sympathy left for why these strikes are happening while we talk to some of the travelers here at frankfurt airport, you might be able to see in the background the display as a usually it is a listing the slides. so it's completely black right now because it's only a chance, it's lights and arrivals, lights happening today. we talked to some people who are here, never the less who are, who are stuck in limbo. and they said their frustration on the one hand confusing because they don't really know how to get to work, how to get home. and uh, this is what they told us. i understand my options are quite limited to the moment, especially is there's no trains eh, car rental places are all empty as well. so and yeah, we're still going to get home at the moment. so when we landed here, we get this application 2 days before we go home to the strike it was may be gone, i haven't, but we didn't know the so and we took the flight and when we landed here, we get to the notifcation that day of nice was cancels we, but we have appointments in the u. k. u for peace,

me some on friday that we have to cancel and get back whenever we can get back. so as you could hear, it is quite some confusing. people are struggling to get places. we also talk to some people whose that they have understanding for the fight for labor rights, but of course it hits defend when you're a person personally affected. or this is just the beginning of the strike, which is set to last until saturday morning. after that, we will see where the next round of negotiations will and this wave of strikes for so now look about cause i thank you very much. all right, and before we go and example of the animal kingdom taking over a very schumann domain, who is mob of kangaroos, took over a golf course in a melbourne, australia, helping fairways greens and sun bun, cuz bouncing along the grass. living players still here as well. one goal fulfilled as he was about to hit his shots

the and that's it from me and the news team feel good will have a world news that i paid for you at the top of the i don't go way. conflict zone is up. next was an interview with the full me addiction minister of foreign affairs. lakeside gab offers for me and then you see

the to the conflict. so with sarah kelly, 5 months into the war and gaza and sadly chaos around and aid con boy has glaringly highlighted the desperation and climbed the desk for a month civilians. my guess the police on complex on is not responding form, egyptian foreign minister and long time diplomat at what point is needed to have no choice but to consider opening a supporter to thousands onto monetary and ground conflict.

next on dw, thank you so much. the new will tell you, we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future in the stories industries that are being discussed across the country. news africa in 60 minutes on d. w. the race as long began later, when we look back, we recognized at all. that's the moment when everything changed. it's all about in the age of artificial intelligence. 5, you see, i mean,

it was in china, the u. s. o, you're up to control the technology that will shape the future of humanity, the small, it's new world, the a i race starts march 16th on the 5 months since the war and gaza and deadly chaos around in a convoy has glaringly highlighted the desperation and climbing death toll among civilians. the cottage of humanity is something they haven't seen protected by guess this week on complex own is not to find the former egyptian foreign minister and long time diplomat of what points as egypt have no choice, but to consider opening its border to gardens on humanitarian grounds. have the
