months into israel's war with moss, the you into saying that the looming salmon in gaza is no accidents. visible for hunger is fretting interface, which before never ever commented hire. so this is clearly a man made clearly of what my mood deficiency created. the hung cries, so the commissioner general tried to go to guys or to assess the situation, but israel refused to let him in. he now feels that dealing with the hunger crisis, there comes down to committed support. basically we went to think about 2034, a believe the launch has buria is the absence of political with us. and if you have a party to go to with you, kind of dressing as well as the reading implied, the world is putting pressure on israel to allow more agents. a garza including

pressure from one of its closest allies, the united states cation to this joint 100 percent of the population and gaza, is at severe levels of acute food and security. that's the 1st time an entire population has been so classified. we also see again, according to this case, the united nations, a 100 percent. the totality of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance . have to wait a little push back saying it's, are you making revisions for thousands? we're placing it at odds with the us, the middle east, and the idea that we're going to trap a 1000000 to when i can let them go out. they're not going to leave. we don't have arrangements for them. that's. that's not true. we're going to move the various international agencies that are in the south. we're going to sit and move you. well there, there is precise locations as well. so far, it's unclear what arrangements is. are us made the it might been in the future

trucks with 8 shipments are still being denied entry into the gaza strip in crowds of guidance or waiting for food. trying to pinned off a famine that the world is warranted imminent. unless something changes. we should mention the to many terry and situation in gone through already suffered a serious blow after several donor countries withdrew funding for the un relief agency for palestinians. israel had accused the loss of infiltrating the organization. now former french foreign minister kathrine colona, is due to submit an independent review of those allegations. the review was ordered by under ahead. felipe lens are really after e's real claim that at least 12 of its staff members were involved in the october 7th attacks. and that are further 450 alleged amongst military operatives were employed by the agency. i intended to vote for more, i'm joined by dw correspondent rebecca renters in jerusalem. rebecca,

as we just heard former french foreign minister a catherine colona will submit an interim report on the rolls of honora in the october 7 terror attacks on israel. tell us more about the so that's right michael, and as you rightly mentioned, this is an interim report. the preliminary report with the final expected within the next 4 weeks or so by the end of april. now, as you also mentioned, this was ordered by the owner of chief philip philip plaza. really who you heard from there a little bit in that report you just played. now, he ordered that off to israel, accused or a ledge. the 12 onerous staff members were involved in the october 7 attacks those accusations coming at the end of january. and that's when he ordered that report. now felipe legend really instantly dismissed a 9 of those employees that were um, caught up in those allegations. one had subsequently died into the identity of 2

was being looked into, but taking very swift action. they're in fact going against on risk normal standard policy, which would be to suspend and investigate. but given the severity of the allegations and of course, the political restoration, all the of course, the political situation surrounding those allegations. he took very swift action cold for this report is relative for the 10 percent of interest off. i'm not suppose is they haven't given much evidence to support these claims. but that is was something that we looked into into this report. just what's going to be in the report remains to be seen, michael, but we know that it's kind of focused on how to protect owner as neutrality, of course recruitment stuff and how they handle the allegations that came out in january. now as i mentioned, this was a pro, it has to be a preliminary report. we are expecting it to be released to the public. at least the final report, not clear whether this preliminary report will be released to the public. whether we'll have to wait another 4 weeks to find out what's in it. it's rebecca,

of course, the ongoing news is that israel and united states are openly disagreeing about this plan defensive on rafa. and there's rarely delegation is expected to visit washington to discuss ways to avoid it from what you're hearing. what does the us reasonably expect a visual yes, the us and israel really at loggerheads with how the situation and goals are, is going to proceed. us insisting that it is possible for israel to achieve its military aims, which is of course, to eliminate a mouse to have the hostages released without actually having to go in and, and do it side of the ground and cozen into ross. so that is something that is rout vehemently, disagrees with. they say that they are absolutely determined to push ahead. they've been saying that for some weeks now even months and we heard even permanence to benjamin netanyahu. you heard him there in that report. we had him come out yesterday and say that they would be uh, in fact, doing so regardless of the fact that their closest ally is, cooling them,

a cooling for them not to do that, you're reporting rightly that they have cool the us as cold for a delegation of as written or is riley delegation to head to washington to discuss with a us delegation about the ways in which they could proceed without having to go through . but at this stage, certainly looking like israel is not going to back down. certainly not without some kind of sci fi, which is still, of course being negotiated, but not yet. but coming to fruition. rebecca, we have less than half a minute. but i do want to ask you this. the us secretary of state is making a new push to negotiate a ceasefire between israel and a moss. i'm curious from your ground level vantage point is there still? this is always hard. michael. net certainly what the families of the hostages maintain they. they continuously come out and say we, we maintain what other choice do we have? of course hope isn't enough and the negotiations are ongoing,

but it's been some 5 months since the november a cease fire agreement and the 1st a trunk of hostages that were released. so many, many steps still to go. we've come close during these negotiations, but you know, we're not the no one, it's all over the line until it's over the line. so hope 910 maintains but, but no sign of that coming to fruition yet understood that. so dw correspondent, rebecca rivers in jerusalem. many 6 in the us state of texas, a controversial immigration law, has been put back on hold by a federal appeals court. that hours after the supreme court lifted a temporary stay, allowing state and local police to begin arresting people suspected of a legally entering the country. legal challenges, civil law are continuing with opponents warning. it would lead to racial profiling and likes violations. republicans in texas and beyond have accused the binding administration of not taking action on immigration dw,

as washington reporter, friends, god told us why the us government is fighting. the texas law of the law essentially makes illegal immigration, the state level crime. and that means the state and local police will have the authority to arrest anyone they suspect of having cross the border into texas. the legally these people could then be charged in a state court and could even be forwarded to return to mexico. as, as, regardless of whether they are at the border or even hundreds of miles north of the border. as critics have noted and reactions with his actually, mexico's, the top diplomat for north america has already said that his government, he has said this on social media, that his government will not accept any reports of repatriation from the us, but will instead be continuing negotiations on the federal level with the federal government. so it definitely creates some uncertainty for like more than someone certainty for the estimated 1600000 undocumented immigrants in texas. now

to rock, we're part of the curtis done region in the north have been devastated by powerful flash floods. worst affected is a city of the hook where of 40 say at least 2 people had been killed off the days of non stop rain. there was no stopping the water, it turned roads into rivers, sales buildings with mud, and debris, and left homes uninhabitable. many local residents will have to rebuild, but at least they escaped with the lights. so as soon as i was, i was inside the house when a big wave of walter came to me. the whole house was filled with water. we run through the 2nd floor because the entire 1st floor was flooded. help arrived and

thank god they saved us. but we didn't lose anyone, just things called rescue proves were able to evacuate hundreds of locals. but not everyone was lucky. well sorry to say 2 people died of to the vehicle was swept away. but the regional and national governments have promised aid for those affected and it's people not to venture out dues until the water subsides. finland has been named the world's happiness nation for a 7 straight year. the un backed world happened this report looked at live satisfaction in a 143 countries in territories across the globe. and this year there's been a significant slide down the rankings for germany and the united states, mainly due to the gloomy outlook of younger people.

if you're looking for good chia, you'll likely find that here in finland, the world happy as nations the 7th year running. you'd be forgiven for thinking there must be something in the water but research has put it down to fins on life satisfaction as well as social support health freedom, generosity, and g d. p. wells does matter, but especially also how wealth is distributed. so in finland, denmark and the others coming to you from countries, you'll find that wealth is way more evenly distributed to more people benefit from the office being generated in these countries. and then also each one. suppose a well 1st state that provides psychological stability, finland's nordic neighbors, dean, mac, sweden, and iceland. also ranked in the top for the wealth is one thing,

but then there's also a healthy life expectancy, which is also a very high, it's kind of nation countries. where is another wealthy countries like united states life expect this actually coming down for certain segments of the work of the population. so the 1st time in a decade, the united states and germany and not among the 20 heaviest nations ranking 23rd and 24, respectively in germany, all the people and now heavier than those under sushi. it's gone, it's done is at the bottom of the table amid a humanitarian crisis, after the tale button regained, control happiness, inequality across the globe has increased by moving 20 percent over the past 12 years, but goodwill remains universe. so the report found that in a post closer willed acts of kindness on the rise across the generations. image of
