12:02 pm
don't a nation's off to israel made those accusations of unrest involvement a little more than this i'm doing now by d. w. use rebecca versus who is as under a headquarters in jerusalem, rebec rebecca, there all these protests on the way the way you are. what is it the people demanding? exactly. well, only you can see behind me i am outside the headquarters, and this is where for the last couple of hours protests, a protest is rather has been gathering though it's really dwindled now to just a couple of 1000 at its biggest. i'd say that we're, we're certainly less than a 100 people here. so it's a relatively small protest, much smaller than protest organizes, were expecting. and also the media who hear it sometimes out number the protesters . but when you speak to the protest, as they say, despite its size, they really are speaking for a broad spectrum of his riley society. and we have indeed been hearing horns of,
12:03 pm
of supporting home cuz as drive is passed by. but that hasn't really resulted in a huge turn out here today, but these people are cooling on owner to release the hostages as being chanting. they say that on row equals ha. so they really putting a lot of blame into the united nations organization for palestinian refugees saying that it is a mindset that they have been perpetrating that as a or a been allowed to have been encouraging over the decades that have really set the mindset for an attack like october 7, to placing a lot of blame. i had, you can possibly say behind me they have a display here of body bags and they've create a u. n. vehicle as though those body bags inside the vehicle being taken outside. placing blame fair and square on the, on the organization. but as i say, it has been a very small protest. and though some of what these people are saying is, does have broad spectrum support. it remains to be seen just how much that is a,
12:04 pm
you know, more of a wide spread opinion here and as well. so this interim reports on the role alleged role of on run the october the 7th terror attacks on israel is due to be released. can you just tell us a little bit more about that? of the yeah, this is an independent report that was commissioned by the headphone right. in fact, philip philip doesn't really just show the off to those accusations were made by israel in late january, the 12 staff members of on row were involved in these, in the attack of october 7, uh the, the report was commissioned and we are expecting the interim the report today, the preliminary report that isn't expected to be made public, it's just going to be going to the member states that we can expect that perhaps some links will come out of all of the report and we will be hearing some of what it is but we can expect to hear the final report that is going to be released to the public lighter in, uh sorry next month it towards the end of april. now it,
12:05 pm
it was, it's rebate is to look at the neutrality of unreal, how they hire the stuff. and of course, how they reacted to the accusations of, to they were revealed at the end of january that some employees were in fact involved in the attack. so not so much more information that we're going to be able to tell you today, but hopefully in the next coming in the coming weeks, we'll have a lot more information about that independent report. rebecca, thanks so much. let's see w rebecca versus reporting from jerusalem. of the foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, has urged you leaders to support his proposal to use revenues from russia's frozen assets to buy on ukraine. speaking off to me saying, with the ukranian prime minister, denise me, how laurel said the plan could generate around 3000000000 euros a. yeah, me how welcome the proposal, the cool that only a 1st step saying that europe needed to make russia pay
12:06 pm
a quote heavy price. very much. the one that's cost right to the don't use, christine mando, who isn't brussels, christine, how would joseph brows plan to increase support for ukraine? actually work or right. and just so you mentioned that set 3000000000 in profits that is estimated to be generated by russian central bank froze and assets that are assisting here in europe. the commission is proposing that 90 percent off . that's money, but he puts into the european piece facility, or this is the fund through which european member states can be reimbursed for the bilateral administrator nations that they are making to ukraine. the remaining 10 percent will be given to ukraine directly, and that is for budget support. this is to run the day to day government business
12:07 pm
in ukraine and also to keep the suffering from defaulting the ukranian self and state farm defaulting. so that is the commission's plan. as it stands. okay, so there is a plan, but what about support for the plan? i mean is, does it bro, like for you to get support from you leaders when they meet tomorrow and brussels as well. the issue around using this money to, to give to ukraine, has generated a lot of discussions. and we know that some member states, a particularly uncomfortable with the idea of using these proceeds to, to buy weapons hungry. and sort of like here are among those countries who think that this is an escalation of the will who would prefer that the money be used for other purposes. for example, the reconstruction and the rebuilding of ukraine. so we can expect that some of these details might express opposition to the fact that a huge chunk of this money and 90 percent is proposed by the commission to go
12:08 pm
towards buying weapons specifically. but other member states who are in support of this point out to the fact that ukraine desperately needs more military aid. remember, we still have that us funding course have in congress. so there was a desperate need to get more money to the ukranian. well, it's like right now, so we'll see what happens when the need is to me, but i just have to point out that we're talking merely about the, the proceeds. those are the interest generation from these assets that have been frozen. but the us. so the quite into you would just quotes and you're saying that you should do more to, to punish euclid to make a rush of pay a price the us and the ukrainians are calling for the european union to, to confiscate to fully confiscate those assets. that, that are sitting as that is valued at about 200000000 euro. so that is of course, a whole another conversations with, with, with different legal implications. but for now, as it stands, we're talking about proceeds and how these proceeds will be allocated in supposing you agree, christine, thanks so much for clarifying that of the w as christine,
12:09 pm
when blood reporting from brussels. now it's been 2 years since russia's full scale invasion of ukraine began. and since then, many ukrainian soldiers have given their lives defending the country as it both means. but many thousands of families have been affected. they love children, full siblings and parents. and often that only source of income dw met some of the women. his husbands have been killed in action. little mat fee is $2.00 and a half months old. fall too young to understand what his mother was going through. on december 28th, the day his son was born, anastasio learned about the death of his father, sasha, who'd been defending the don't yet screech and from russian forces. the news since his pregnant wife into premature labor. at the cause of distress, i could not give birth on my own. so i had to have this very infection. she was
12:10 pm
born in such a state that he was not even breathing. it was the result of distress. anastasio and a son now live in the city of judd told me you were sasha once dreamed of buying a home priest. finally, i think just said that he said when the were in or during the war, we will take out a mortgage and buy an apartment and live in between near suite already settled on between the year. that's why we worried sasha here. not somewhere else, but here because he wanted to live here from this down west on the total shooting for to dash to check on a styles. he was currently collecting signatures on the president's website to have a husband pulse to miss leah. what did the title of hero of ukraine? soon she will have to return to work in order to provide for her son. uninstalled, the situation is far from unique. 17, his husband, alexander was killed last november. then you bone daughter. the youngest of 5 was just full months old at the time. the need for the coping without him has been
12:11 pm
a daily struggle, a dump problem with you. she has always been my support for me. i always knew she would take care of me and everything would be fine with that the in any scenario, even after the invasion. yeah. i didn't panic because i had a car. oh, the fuel, your provisions plan. he took care of everything. it's made arrangements with everyone, hulu live, so no, yes, knowledge shows in new orleans means is that all would say a tribe of 17 or was commonly reliance on the assistance of friends and family. despite the struggles she paid. she's a millions of ukrainian women who've had to put their own dreams of starting a family on hold. yeah, but hot toys and ok, there are many women who did not have time to give birth, did not have time to get pregnant, neutral, and they are very sorry that they didn't level who for many like me, this is an incentive to live in mostly an incentive to do something for several boys. with no end of the war in sites,
12:12 pm
there's no telling how many more families will be destroyed, full fighting stops. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. and 12 workers have been killed after an explosion at a coal mine in southwest and practiced on officials set. the bloss in the mining region of cost was caused by a build up of nissan, gas, deadly accidents, all common impact of stones mining industry. and meanwhile, the option of the home where the imprisoned democracy leda on the phone since she's been years on the house arrest, has not attracted any bid, is the court ordered sale follows a law, follows along legal baffle between the nobel peace prize winner and her strange brother, sushi has been jailed for 27 years on a variety of challenges brought by the routing military junta. the north korea state media says the country has successfully tested a solid fuel engine for
12:13 pm
a hypersonic mist file. lita conjunction was that to oversee the ground to get the test from young is trying to develop a new weapon design to hit the us specific territory of guam. it regularly conducts missile tests despite international functions of its nuclear weapons program. now they are among africa's most majestic animals, not long ago, southern white rhino as well on the brink of extinction. but this year, nearly 2000 of them will begin making their way back into the wild. they will once pause with a private collection conservation agency, is now releasing them to protected areas across the continent. the w correspondent, diane, who reports now from south africa this reino, cough doesn't know it, but it's part of one of the most significant reino relocation projects ever undertaken. it's one of $89.00 southern whites, reino,
12:14 pm
called being kept on a protected farm in south africa's northwest province. over the next few years, these animals could find themselves in angola, dwanda, the democratic republic of congo, malawi, or ted. why, why that's in vicious it's. it's typically exciting to think that the opportunity that it, that it presents not any 4 runner as a species to di, risk or on it, but for the benefit of biodiversity. it, it definitely does motivate us to, to keep doing what we do. moving the babies will be lied to look. the real heavy lifting comes when the majority of the heard over 1900 rhinos must be transported southern wide, reino can weigh between 2 and 3 tons. and transporting one across the board is, can costs over $50000.00 us dollars per reino. the i'm sort of,
12:15 pm
i'll take on it is that these are on it has a, have a massive value. um, not necessarily talking about a financial value, but an ecological value that they need to play in open areas, you know, contributing to by diversity shaping shipping landscapes. romano often seen a sentinel spc. so generally a clear indication if you've got and how could, how's the eco system that's well managed and well protected, ron, and flourish. the rhinos will be relocated over a 10 year period with some $200.00 ryan those being moved each year. the southern wide ride know population is one of the best recorded examples of successful conservation. 100 years ago, there were less than a 100 of these rhino in the wild. today, there an estimated $16000.00 in protected areas across africa. and i'm joined now by dan who. okay. who filed that report for us?
12:16 pm
what a brilliant story. i mean 2000 rhino is going to be released over the next 10 years . can you tell us more about how this is actually going to happen? how's it going? to be made reality as well. um yeah, the organization efforts in cox actually has a different parks across the african continent. it works in conjunction with various governments. so they are located in 12 different african countries. um, any tons of the amount of space that they really have available, they have an estimate to 20000000 hit to on that, that they help to oversee in different conservation areas. so the 1st part of the quote will be to look at some of those areas to see with the rhino would be best suited to be relocated. and then they will also communicate with other private conservation agencies which might have smaller properties. and then discuss arrangements of moving the rhino to these areas in the report on this listed
12:17 pm
a number of countries. but they actually so many more countries that they work with 12 in total. so they are a number of opportunities that they have in existence already. and of course, some people and some organizations have already expressed interest in getting some of the animals onto the private conservation properties over the next few years. okay, it is expensive, isn't that i mean we heard in your report the trunk forcing. each rhino can cost more than $50000.00 us dollars. so how is all of this going to be financed or well, this whole cause is different. a conservation considerations when it comes to moving the rhino to different parts of the continent. when did they moving? the rhino locally, the costs will be quite small because they can consider using ledge transport when it comes to moving them across the board is they have to consider things like permits. and they have to consider things like vaccination, full diseases,
12:18 pm
that might be prevalent in other countries, but not privilege. when the rhinos happy living best fall and then there's the actual transportation. what are the things that the mentioned to me is that when moving from brian though they have to get very large a cross. and that ends up being quite an expensive cost when it comes to the funding. some of the things that they will be looking at is cooperation with the governments, with the animals are expected to go. african products itself does run a number of parks and before gets quite a, quite a lot of money. either some donations as well as towards the fees that it gets from those costs. so it has to that can be already got an existing structure which they will then have to amend to move these, right? know, and that's also part of the reason why they've chosen to stagger it over that period so that they could ensure that they have enough funding over time to be able to move these animals. diane, who do companies, diane,
12:19 pm
who can thank you so much for bringing us up to date their on that wonderful story . thank you. now finland has been named the wells happiest nation for 7th straight. yeah. the you and back to world happiness report looks at life satisfaction in a 143 countries and territories across the globe. denmark, sweden and iceland, also continue to talk the leaderboard coming, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place. but this is a, has been a significant slide down the rankings for germany and the united states, mainly due to the gloomy outlook of the younger people. oh, if you're looking for a good cheer, you'll likely find it here in finland, the world's happiest nation for the 7th year. you'd be forgiven for thinking there must be something in the water. but researchers bridget dine,
12:20 pm
defends, own life satisfaction. as well as social support, health, life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and g d, p, finish people and most probably are happier because they can rely on a good institution. so meaning, well, function, governments, low level of corruptions and robust, but fear factors that fins have a great depreciation for. well, i think i have, i have had the opportunity is to do what i want. i have a good education. i can rise my child in here quite safely, i think so that's that is maybe the most important thing for me right now we all are for now. busy will 1st states that we have quite strong equality here,
12:21 pm
but this of course, something that, for example, occur in the government, they started to run down. so i think this is something that we would really need to find to still keep such appreciation may be in shorter supply and the united states and germany, which aren't among the happiest nations ranking, 23rd and 24th, respectively. germany is also one of the countries in which older people are no happier than those under 30. a scant this done is at the bottom of the table. i made a humanitarian crisis after the taliban regain control model, but goodwill remains universal. the report find that in our post cobit world, acts of kindness are on the rise across the generations. giving us all something to smile about. print, my teller is an assistant professor at alto university in finland. he's an expert
12:22 pm
on happiness and well being research and the philosophy of welcome to the w. frank, thanks so much for joining us today. now you'll countries being crowned the happiest in the world to the 7th consecutive years, so i'm presuming you must be feeling quite happy right now. i guess like that through the, i guess the fitness people 1st time that being on the bus. the problem is that best nation fitness people are not happy actually never quite much saying that there must be something wrong with the survey because i guess like if it is, people don't think of themselves as particularly happy bunch of people we have like this more melancholy why itself image and being happy, a student faith with that. okay. but we heard in that report didn't weigh people saying, you know, i couldn't do everything that i want to do. we live in a well 1st stage. i can bring up my child here without worrying. so obviously there's a lot of faxes in finland that seem to that seem to work and make people feel good . yes, exactly,
12:23 pm
and i'm going like saying that it's not that the government would make the citizens happy, but it's more that the well functioning government is able to remove many sources of unhappiness. so it means that, you know, there's like less then there's not like more, extremely happy people and being lot, but there's less extreme the unhappy people in finland. and that's quite much do today. well, function that needs to do with this and that, and the government taking care of the citizens. okay. how can we be sure that the old findings in this report of valid business goals? many of the facts is the influence of happiness can, can very, can change in from day to day. currently. i mean, you know, maybe you've slept well or your in love or whether you've missed the boss. i mean, how accurate is all of this? so i guess like of course, on the individual level, there's like this daily variation, but that's the point, the, because of that they like survey more than 1000 people in every country. so all of these individual variations balance each other out and throw that to be a get like this national average, which of course there's always going to be,
12:24 pm
it's not going to be perfect as article that's going to be some marginal error. but still, it gives a pretty accurate picture of how well the people are doing in a certain conference. ok, now one point the report does make is that young people in the us and in western europe are increasingly unhappy. whereas in other parts of the world, the opposite is true. so how would you explain those regional differences or yeah, that's, that's an interesting finding i'm, it might be, but the case i've been some, many countries like the future looks better than it used to be that you feel like, you know, the young people feel that they're going to have a better life than their parents. but i guessing that us, and in many western european countries, that's not the case for the young people. they actually feel that they might not have like as good outlook as their parents used to have. and that might let them bring down their levels of life satisfaction. mm hm. do you think the people's happiness should be taken into account more in, in politics, in the same way as economic fuel costs, for example,
12:25 pm
unemployment. if that goes yes, i think so, because like what is the ultimate point of having governments or having like societies? i think one key point is that they try to make their lives up the citizens better. and if you want to know whether to ever succeed, if successful in that, then you should be measuring how well the 50 tests are doing in a concrete. so in that sense, i think that wellbeing indexes and happiness reports might be like even more important than the academic indicators. because economics or is all based just an instrument for something else. what kinda a cabinet is kind of been goal that the economics is trying to bring forward. okay . and i'd like to ask you, i mean, is the one particular point made in this new happened this report that gives you particular hope for the future. i like the fact that this helping other people, it seems to be quite robust thing on sunday that they've taken place over over the world. because that reminds us that despite all the differentiates, the human beings are in day and wipe helpful and protocol and caring people who
12:26 pm
like like to help other people. so that's hope that that's something that we take away from the 3 part. sounds good to me, frank. montela philosopher from the alto university in finland. thank you so much for your uh, finding us today. and here is a reminder of our top story for you. protests have taken place in jerusalem outside offices of the u. n. release agency for palestinians. thousands of israelis are accusing unrest of collaboration with come us. an independent review of those charges levels by israel in january is team. soon as i forget, you can, we've got to delete news on the good. you just have to download our app from google play or from the app store that will give you access to overlays as news from around the world, as well as any, as well as push notifications, notifications to any breaking news. sports, business and containment. news,
