the, the bases dw is leih from bottom and a ship carrying hundreds of tons of age for gaza. pine of the cypress, the open arms is the 1st specialty as a new maritime. a groups established to develop more humanitarian aid into the besieged temperature. also on the program on demand cross from ukraine interruption to carry out across the border rights. fontes are trained to be russian citizens, so they took control of it. the village which moscow denied the unfilled. welcome to the program, the 1st chip counting a to gaza, throw a new c,

colorado from cypress has deposit the open arms, is expected to take a couple of days to reach the territory and has been handled by the european union as a signal of hope, maritime card or set up by cyprus, the united arab emirates, the european union, the united states, and of us. oh, arriving to because as the ship sick sale, it's the much needed to maiden voyage on a new maritime sea car door operated by charities from this new hall in the secrete, city of learning co invest that a lot of going today i'll ship is leaving on what is the historic mission to the coast of gauze? this ship is loaded almost 200 tons of food coming, that'd be distributed immediately to the people of golf game that they got. so, getting here was an easy. h took months of political talks to agree applied under, which is really officials overseas cypriot security checks. so the precious cargo can go straight to gaza. but the journey ahead is complex to the crossing is some

400 kilometers. on the age group operation. the ship has been building a, make shift, jackie, to offload the aid of the gauze and coast. the most of the crossing we tracked some of these coordination help in learn to call. these are the eyes and ears of the cypriot government from they through officials can monitor the port on the maritime colors or so they can deploy rescue vessels, shoot a chips, get into distress. it's a lot of painstaking work for one shipment. but the plan is to ramp up deliveries in the coming weeks. very small aid in cyprus, and of course, ships that will stay daily for low, nice, fast shipment. but we have to be cautious. we have to be to have the patient patients that the, the situation needs. this is by no means the simplest way to get food to gardens.

israel says it's committed to facilitating 8 access, but it's faced accusations of blocking crucial supplies for civilians through land border crossings. so while they see card or bring some relief, the united nation says it cannot replace traditional age roots as family lose where this journey and we'll do how many has it as it will take positive aid ad drops into guys up in an effort to increase to ease the humanitarian crisis, german air force will join join the us, egypt, france, and belgium, which i've already been participating in recent drops attention. it's been shifting towards the alternative groups, including as c and f, as is around the limits of them on deliveries, and un estimates that, of course of goss this population is now at risk of finding my political correspondent, husbands. toby, more about when germany tends to stop these drops as well. the german government

says as quickly as possible, that means within several days, these german military transfer plans that are stationed in france at the moment, the dream and say that is an advantage because france has already participated in these ad drops. so the german pilot is conducted from the french colleagues how best to do this. and of course, they always logistical methods involved training the person involved involved and getting the age to be made ready. that's likely to be in cyprus. the plans will fly from france to cyprus, pick up the material, the and then go onto gaza. so yes, as quickly as possible, but i would say less than a week. i didn't say is of criticize this use of add drops and won't that costly and efficient? the aids sometimes ends up in the city. so why is germany doing this? instead of sending a, a by land or the german,

a spokesperson for the german foreign ministry, said that in fact, of course the many and everybody else i guess would prefer to continue is supplying age by lands. but that's, as we know, has become very, very difficult and is by far too little reaching the guys and population. so that's a situation there is getting more and more critical. so in desperation, all these other ways of trying to get into guys that are being tried, including the ad drops as well as the c route that is not being opened. but of course, there's also a sense of political frustration. i think one can say both on the part of the german government and other western governments. and our governments, for instance, also participating because uh these uh, aged deliveries are made so difficult by is riley controls. basically, i just, i'm away from a to another story. i'm making headlines that and that's germany's involvement in the rescue of both funds from rafa. and what more can you tell us to

yes, indeed, that's the story that just emerged and i think should not in fact have become public. it was found all by his writing media, i think, and it involves a german run off and it's in rough in the southern gaza strip several dozen children as well as some of the some of the ad all said we're looking off to them and their families were evacuated from the with the help of the is right. the army in fact um and have a reach to the west bank, the palestinian territories on the west bank this weekend. it's something that's uh, the german government has been trying to organize for months. in fact, and it's not being successful, but it's something that was meant to remain confidential because what's happening now is that especially the more right wing members of the is right. the government oper, testing vehemently against people from gaza, actually reaching protesting territories on the west bank,

even if the children. thanks a lot, hans dw comes on hands brands and thought it would take a look at the civil stores making headlines around the world. menus. presidents that cause harness has announced a spit to succeed in stilton, vegas, secretary general of nighttime. i'm pressing against the outgoing dutch of prime minister. mark wrote that to already how's the boston of the united states? britain, france and germany before the biggest of power in the west administrative law. they certainly zombies made significant guides related to last month. a civil war against rebels calling themselves the rapids support forces and i'll be captured parts of the 2nd city. i'm doing mine just across the nile from the capital. how to including the symbolically important headquarters of sedans, national broadcasting corporation, the russian mid chicago partners and 15 people on board has crashed while taking off northeast of moscow. the defense ministries as an engine find you in takeovers are likely closures didn't say whether there were any survivors. us,

a russian anti government sites, a safe copy dog cross border attacks from ukraine into western russia. the freedom of russia legion into other groups of billy space for the interest i say shows that fights us in rushes belgrade, and caustic regions the group say they crossed with tags, sound of taking the board image of i to you, tilt keno. moscow denied the claim saying that it's mid of treatment povey attacks i'm ready to meet on this. i'm going to drag xbox and post doctoral research and the war studies department of kings college london. she told me more about these russian antique governments, hadn't been a sheet groups. well, the main one here is a free russia legion. so these groups are operating from the ukranian territory and especially the free russia legion. and they have obviously a former russian prison. those are for who was a claim,

have switch sides in order to fight against putting machine, however, or is this groups also cleans that. they have a contract soldiers from that ukrainian international legion fighting for them as well, and that they fight in court. the nation was a ukrainian armed forces and it is to assume that they will be receiving military support as well. not just coordinating 0 activities. so these groups are seeking obviously to fight against the put in the machine and they have made some incursions. and the past year, and now we're seeing this this year obviously before the elections in russia, they have increased their activities in the board of regents again. ok, so they started that back code. the nice thing with you, probably what is new crime side. because the reports i've read site, but the price as well that nothing to do with us, they're acting independently. but that, of course, raises the question of where that guessing these advanced weapons and vehicles from

well, this is an interesting question because the fact that they, of course, the meeting was it ukrainian forces is claimed by the members of the group. this is the information that has been provided by the bbc. however, we don't really know toward extend and was what units they are coordinating their activities. and where is it getting their support from however, given the fact that they are operating on the ukrainian territory, it would suggest that perhaps maybe that ukrainian military intelligence could be supporting such groups because that might be in ukraine's interest. but publicly, of course, you would have to distance yourself from any support. then we have seen similar scenario in 2014, when the russians were also supporting the next people's republics, militias without actually seeing that, that they were doing that. and so how active and effective have these groups be to

i think the effect of these groups is mostly in the informational domain because it will look at the size of the groups and their activities. they haven't been very active. it is the 1st attack this year that came to our attention. the previous attack was the last here. so they don't seem to be doing very much, however, is a timing of this incursion coupled we'll see. drones strikes reported on the russian territory and hitting an oil refinery. and that makes a lot of sense that before the election, the risk is attempt to unsettles a population, to maybe sways the population away from port in and to show them that port in and his special military operation that is harming russia. and this is why these

people are fighting for a different russia. so it's more about the information of psychological effect rather than any sort of military effect. because these groups just don't have some military capabilities in order to challenge the russian armed forces. because if it becomes a threat to national security, of course, the russian government will make sure to mobilize, move forces and send them to the board or the region. so from that perspective, i don't think that they posed a serious challenge. it's more of a distraction. i would say under the phone, sorry about that. okay. so that number in the middle from king's college london. thank you for having me for every job and every transport sites has been hit by another double wave of strikes. try and drive as an allied, covering crew will tossed the jump today, leading to the cancellation of about 80 percent of long distance trains and hundreds of flights. well, cuz you're in insight, most strikes have been cold for tomorrow. sometimes you just have to be lucky.

like these travelers, it been in central station. they quote one of the few train service is still operating. it's the 6th time train drivers have gone on striking just 5 months. the union, the g d o wants to reduce the working week to 35 hours pass and just sympathy for this try cuz it's rapidly waiting monday and they don't think of a trained drive is since you think of the flight curries, hold of those who are already on a lot of money for me, i and the little guys have to go begging when they become pensioners, it does end up most mon bitten 90. no, i find this track successive years, but the ability to fix the whole economy, the delivery of materials, the companies that need the goods on the damage to the gym and economy, easy, numerous 100000000 euros a day is just one cautious estimate by ex. but it's called the loss property due to missing deliveries of rule materials and sped parts or products that don't reach

the customer. and the impact could wisant still as the train drive as union has now stopped warning of it strikes 2 days in advance as it used to. but it's not on the trains at a standstill. following strikes by pilots and security staff. now, cabin crew at germany's largest airline roof times it has stopped working north times, that has just announced the food best financial results in the company's history. and after making concessions during the pandemic under mit record inflation. mental you say the i line owes them a slice of the pie thunderbolt the offer that one's on the table actually stick was simply and sufficient. we need to, to your real high can kevin cruz wages. so yeah. and with the current offer, with building current losses overall people and we can't accept that on it as well . met what's best for them because only shop to accept with the india on the rails . germany is bracing itself so many most strikes in the near future. i set you up to date more. well here's at the top of the hour,

coming up next on dw choices takes the journey ends, the world of indian jewelry and fashion. with 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? how to different parts of the internal heat? march 15th on dw, you can find design every way. i want to make sure that everything is beautiful.
