the, the state of the news long from berlin. international pressure mounts on israel over its warren gauze to army officers are dismissed over the depth of 8 workers and drone strength. earlier this week, israel says its troops thought the terrorist were firing from the 8 convoy, also coming up thousands to renounce in iran for the funeral of revolutionary guard members killed in a striking theory earlier this week. their commander has vowed revenge against israel, which hasn't commented on striking the horror of the rwandan genocide, 30 years on, many of those killed fled searches hoping in vain to find sanctuary. we need one survivor of the size of one of the worst.

the welcome to the show. israel says it has fire to senior officers and reprimand of 3 others for mondays airstrikes and gaza that killed 78 workers. an inquiry carried down by israel's military found that its forces mistakenly believed the humanitarian conroy had been taken over by her mos militants and the drone operators mistook a humanitarian worker holding a bag for a gun. ma'am, the a group is calling for an independent inquiry stating that israel's military can't credibly investigate its own failure. you a secretary of state and to me blinking says the us as carefully reviewing israel's inquiry into the killings. it's very important that as well as taking full responsibility for this incident,

it's also important that it appears to be taking steps to hold those responsible accounts. even more important is making sure that the steps are taken going forward to ensure that something like this and never happen again from us or that yeah, well indicated to president biden. israel would be making further changes to his procedures to make sure that those who are providing assistance to people who so desperately need it and gaza are protected. so we're going to be looking very carefully at what those steps are, how it achieves better. the confliction better coordination, so that aid workers are protected. anthony blank and there are correspondents, rebecca rivers in jerusalem told us more about the results of this inquiry. the results came out just a few hours ago here in israel, from the military, from that uh, so cold independent investigation though it is an internal investigation done by a separate bronze within the is really

a military. and the basically identified that this, these strikes were carried out in serious violation of military protocol protocol. and it says they would carry doubt jus to miss identification. that in fact, the, the military thought that there was a threat. they felt that somebody thought that they saw a gunman on this humanitarian con boy, that was going uh, this was earlier before the firing actually happened. that was going to this warehouse. and they thought that that gunman then proceeded to go with this convoy . and that's of course why they're saying that the, the convoy was then fired upon, you know, we, as we know from the reporting of the incident, the, the, the convoy was side upon the 1st call. the 1st a vehicle was fired upon the people tried the people that were still living, we're trying to get out, go to the 2nd and the 3rd and i work, you know, it was continually fired at so that is being identified as a miss identification. and in and in direct violation of military procedure,

as you've mentioned, we've got to senior military personnel has been dismissed and of some have been reprimanded, including the head of the southern command that looks off to the military that that is basically carrying out the operation in gaza, it also says that this has a breakdown in the chain of come on, but we've been reporting on this week from internal a tunnel reporting that's being done here in israel. my magazine called at 972 plus 972, that they're in fact is a, is a gross breakdown of the china of come on in the military. and it has been through out this, in fact, that a machinery has been you to identify targets. and in fact, there is very little in way of china of come on. so if that is indeed concern that could potentially go some way to explaining how something like this could happen is our corresponding rebecca rivers in jerusalem. there. the used foreign policy changes that burrell says, a decision by israel to open up more core doors for 8 into guys

a won't be enough to stop storage ation in the territory. israel's move came after pressure from the us on thursday. the opening of the air is crossing into the palestinian territories north was among several steps approved by israel's cabinet to let in more humanitarian assistance. the 4th and start will also be reopened to process 8 shipments bound for garza and more deliveries will pass through crammed sh along in the south. and we can dig deeper now with making non tow. she's a senior humanitarian advisor of the international charity action aid in london. and welcome to the w, nikki. israel announcing the opening of 2 more corps doors for humanitarian aid into gaza. how much will that contribute to alleviating the suffering of cause and seems a much any action to get more agents because it's something that we welcome this as a move that is long overdue. so what we know is that the level of need is overwhelming

. every single person and godsa is hungry and people are desperate. it has only been able to enter guys, welcomed us to cross things so far. ras, one trance along both of which runs the far south because of city and so far that to have greater access to the north, harrison national, where it has been closed. however, it's really difficult to know at this stage exactly how much impact opening these new intra plants will have. it is already really disappointing to see about these really cover meant have already specified these openings will be temporary. so what does that mean will be long enough to really make a difference because sometimes opening and costing stuff. it's sort of the fact that distributing 8 right now in gaza is extremely, extremely dangerous. that's because of the real i missed from apartment and the roads being destroyed. and all of these are undergoing a series of history checks and deliveries, which have meant that a new costing to make a difference. we really need more clarity, more transparency,

inconsistency in the 8 screening. and we have to have assurances that this will be linked with the security to 8 workers in gaza. and not israel will comply with international shi might turn long. yeah, over 280 workers if i'm not mistaken, have been killed since the war and gaza broke out, trying to cater to the people there. how does that impact the work of organizations like room the absences the bushes? as garza is the most dangerous place for 8 workers right now, you will have heard the news of the $78.00 workspace with world central kitchen, which were killed with the club by um, which was hit by and history strike. it's absolutely devastating. got thinking, mind, show workers have lost their lives or simply doing their jobs and just attempting to desperately bring needs and food supplies to people at the brink of time. and that would support close friend and pend it. probes into how this try to cure it.

and we stand for the guard see with our colleagues. but the reality is that more than 208 workers, mostly post indians, have been killed over the last 6 months and getting 8 into guys that it really is incredibly challenging. it really is incredibly dangerous. that has a lot of complications this just because of the frequent communication blackouts, because the damage and cost structure, the danger posed by the severe nature of the attacks and the air strikes. um, aid workers really need to have it guarantees that they can tire the work safely. it is really just important to keep reiterating that to try to gesture this week was not an anomaly. it is what is happening with more than $200.00 work ceiling. but also we work with different partners in gaza and have a number of colleagues on the ground for doing their absolute best to help people, whether that's providing meals or dignity kits or offerings like a social supports. and we also work with

a hospital in the north of guys that one of the 10 hospitals, partially functioning in guys are right now. yeah. and it's, it gets to november 3 of the doctors at the hospital. i want a hospital which is run by action. it's part of the work till after building was hit by bombing. so all these instances are completely unacceptable. she monitoring 8 workers are not and should never be targets. it really makes it incredibly difficult to support you monitoring assistance as nikki and ask you a senior humanitarian advisor at action aid in london. thank you so much for your time. i, as the commander of around this powerful revolutionary guard, is that there will be retaliation for an air strike that destroyed a wrong consulate in syria. on monday, killing 12 people. he blames the strikes on israel and tear on thousands turned down to attend a funeral for 7 members of the guard, including 2 senior generals who were killed in the blast,

cautious between israel and iran back has bla, along the is rarely lebanese border, have increased since the war and gaza began nearly 6 months ago. the funeral took place on a could stay an annual event when people in iran and elsewhere around the world stage pro palestinian rallies. simon maven is with us. he's the middle east analyst at lancaster university, so i'm good to see you again. let's look at this warning. what could retaliation look like? are we likely to see a direct confrontation between iran and israel beyond proxies? i think about the 1000000 dollar question. we know the iran has, has used such in century rhetoric before we sort of to various estimation of cost, some sort of money by the united states back in 2020 did not lead to a full scale direct retaliation. we saw a lower level incursions. we saw a lower level proxy actors, a talking us bases around for dimensional use of private market got to when it does

not want the region to erupt and conflict, but know kind of be seen to be standing by and let this type of presentation go on said how seriously should israel take that threat then, as well as they will be taking it very seriously, particularly benjamin netanyahu, who for the past 30 odd years, has been viewing around as the great dangers to is really society as an ex essential strat, keeping making speeches about to run being this, this real pop, it must controlling the laws of the region and posing a threat to as well. so for nothing, yahoo, it will be taken very, very seriously. but for others that will be this acceptance, that's a ron, is having to engage in some degree of performance in the auction of having to appease a number of different constituencies. and so i don't think that this will lead to a dramatic escalation in the short term. but what it does do is it makes an already for you bryley k all take and precarious environment that much more dangerous. mm

hm. let's look at that yahoo for a 2nd because he is under a lot of pressure at home and abroad. how do you think that could affect his calculations? yeah, what we're seeing across his time in office, when he's under pressure, he starts to turn to uh, to what's called a rally around the flag effects and the process whereby he cultivates accidental grad external challenges that allow people to come together on the what he tends to be and what he positions as a strong form of leadership. so in many ways this will probably help him because it once again says that he is able to position around as an ex, essential threat to israel. now another player in this pressure cooker that of the middle east is right now is lebanon's around back hezbollah group is leader called the damascus strike a turning point in the event since october 7th. how big is the danger of them

escalating the conflict on their end as well? the run has this complex relationship with his by law, the use of syria as a condo, and the strikes at the uranium conseula where the 1st time that there's been a direct attack on a rainy and targets in syria. there being a lot of attacks on rainy and bucked targets in syria, but this is, i think, what's, what this is by law officials are talking about when they talk about a sort of a game changer that it's a direct attack on iran. now with regard to his by law, they've already been engaged in embroiled in cross. ready ready that tit for tat exchanges with these riley's since october 7. and of course in the, in the, the decades before that. so there's this sense that it is in precarious moment. but if we go back to october 7 and we listen to

a test on mr. i left the leader of his by law said he was very cautious in the early stages, not to pull more fuel onto the spiral, not to contribute to an already in century situation. but the, the shifting atmosphere, the pressure cooker is cool. it has put more pressure on everyone involved in this, and that's what makes it such a dangerous situation that the actors are having to engage with their own domestic constituencies and respond to the various pressures themselves. so assignment may have been released analyst at lancaster university, always great speaking to you. thank you so much for your insights. thank you. and a quick look now and some of the stories making news around the world. the fast food chain, mcdonalds has announced as buying back all is really restaurants from the franchise are following port cards over the war in gaza. restaurant operator alone, you all had to offer discounts and free meals to is really soldiers. mcdonalds has experienced a sale. swamp in the middle east since the war between israel and how mosque began

for at least $1500.00 microns have arrived on the italian island of love to do that in a day. and a house after being picked up at sea increase and arrivals, which coincides with calm spring weather conditions and the mediterranean as led to overcrowding in the islands migrants reception facilities. today we're looking back at the 1994 genocide in rwanda. the east african nation is marketing 30 years since the start of a 100 day massacre. in which 800000 people were slaughtered, a warning, much of what you're about to see you may find distressing. now the killing for mostly carried out by extreme is from the countries majority ethnic hutus against the influential minority tootsie population. but also moderate hooton's. sexual violence was also used as a weapon with as many as $250000.00 women rate during the genocide. the

numbers of the dead are almost impossible to comprehend. take the example of the young monta genocide memorial site. a single church were 5000 people were murdered over the course of just 3 days. the w smolley and beloved reports from the sight of one of the worst massacres of the genocide. it's not often that sometimes finds the strings to come here to a former church. now a memorial to the rhonda genocide, she says this is the place where she refused to die. some were you coming back to this place 30 years later? i think it is still a big wound. but it helps me to remember many of the people who died here called into a hush. the belongings are still here frozen in time. and each piece tells the tale, the person's elbows tightly tied behind their back before being executed,

toddlers killed with their parents. the killings that started a few days earlier, many to 2 families, including some talent, had children suited refuge here. thinking they'd be safe, good, and not the 1st day through grenades into the church. and many people lost their legs. i was so much screaming, those who tried to leave the church were hacked with machetes, though a place of saying to me, turned into a burial ground. the remains of more than 45000 people rest at the memorial side. someone display a reminder of domestic shantelle managed to escape, a judge was injured and we fled to a nearby school when i felt something hit me in the mouth and other parts of my body where i was holding my kids. i think it was a grenade. then i saw that one of my babies had been killed and that a, she had

a nearby bushes at the end at a home with the who to initiate committing the genocide found her intact her with the machete to a rock. i to her had a friend lying next to her hiding under banana leaves was done to life safety. so they came back off and they rammed a spear in to me, mocking us saying you cockroach has don't die easily. i stayed in there for some time. my wounds were rod and comedy had maggots falling out of them. days later has been found her and brought her to safety surgical woman to south east. another community is trying to reconcile with a past and move in its form, the perpetrators and the families of the victims. left side by side came louise's 2 brothers and the cousin were killed during the genocide. these quin knobby but they

were brutally killed hacked here and here in the head in the throat. all parts of the body, shred it by them. oh my god, brothers, i loved the hands that would have supported me down. the man who killed them supreme at that bottle was tried and one of wanda's post genocide tribunals and spent 12 years in prison. on his release, he asked to be useful forgiveness and she accepted. now the regularly participating group activities together with other former perpetrators and victims. it's all part of the government program to create unity among brandon's re establish trust following the genocide that split communities would. would that work for sion tied to? could she forgive her attackers and killers of her baby? what, what do we have a good country and that has brought us together and we loved each other. but it does not rule out the possibility that there could still be remnants of genocide

ideology. in some people's hearts you can't see and people's heart, this isn't all day long. her son was killed during the genocide, would now be a grown like the other kids. and finish up some kind of hopes that generation will be able to put the genocide and the divisions of the past behind them in the office of french president, the money on my call says he will release some video this weekend, addressing francis failure to stop the genocide in rwanda presidential office sources say that in the video, my call says when the phase of total extermination against the tutsis began. the international community had the means to know an act. france, which could have stopped the genocide with its western and african allies, lacked the will to do so. during a visits in 2021 to rolando my home recognize francis responsibility in the genocide, but stopped short of an apology. for more,

let's now speak to camille delay, or he's a former canadian senator in lieutenant general in the canadian armed forces, he led the ill fated un peacekeeping mission for rwanda. during the 1994 genocide. welcome to the w. it's a pleasure to have you on the show, no french, president, my call and said france de facto stood by a genocidal regime. you were in rwanda back then told from your experience how big francis roll was friends in particular meter. and his regime were instrumental in establishing the parameters that would lead ultimately to the destruction of another ethnic group. that is to say the, the, to, to a, as he was holding completely committed to the fact the be the amount of region which was able to reach him. he was supported also by the catholic church of the one to which was also very instrumental in segregating and educating the use and

making them realize the differences between them. an advantage in one that is due to side against the other one. so the who to dominate kinda features was also a part of that horrific exercise. you left and you in peacekeeping mission and rhonda, during the genocide that mission failed dramatically. why? because it was never established to in fact create a piece. it was there to monitor to groups who had signed and agreed that they wanted peace. and we were there to as a, sort of a, the referee without a red card, to assist them in interpreting the material and also using their differences. a friction is that they might have been implementing the piece agreement. but what was the eve of the whole construct of that mission was the fact that the extremist elements, both sides had not really committed to wanting this disagreement to work. and in

particular are the 2 side, the government side extreme is governments were right directly under the regime of the wife of the president and her family who controlled the power in that country. what would you have needed back then? to prevent the genocide from happening as well after the 11th of january, when an informant gave me the material to be able to take action and that i informed you and that i had to take action to stop the arms distribution and the oppression all the the to minorities and moderates, particularly who wanted to be part of the, the create issue of a broad base transitional government. and from then on the need for my original plan of close to 5000 troops was, was absolutely crucial. i needed

a radio capability need to order jim the very uh, ultimately we're called the genocide radio station for inciting the young. uh, i needed the, the troops in order to be able to go and stop the training of the militia, which was, in fact, a youth movement that had been turned into a militia. i needed the intelligence capability and the will of the security council to modify my mandate from a chapter 6 observer to a chapter 7 that would permit me to intervene and stop. so then what is thought that we had come in to protect them? because that's what the extreme is machine was telling them. well, in fact all we were there and all i had was enough ammunition to be able to protect the un sites. and in fact, we were not even authorized to protect civilians. well,

in the genocide we don't have much time unfortunately, but i do want to know because, you know, obviously you want it's to help. right. how is the failure of the mission effected you personally? i've been under 25 years of therapy in regards to trying to come to grips with the fact that i was a witness to the destruction of so much of humanity and the descent into health that humanity can actually achieve them in so doing it is however, shifted my thinking totally towards not truces as people were working at, in fact whether lucia was. but in fact, the last thing piece and lasting piece can only happen with the younger generations, generally engaging in a global process. and also with this, the, the women of the world being far more involved in the structures of the, of all the organizations in the world. that was romero to layer heads of the un

peacekeeping mission for rhonda when i'm here. appreciate your time and i'm you sharing your experience with us today. thank you. thank you. you're very good to new york malware, a 4.8 magnitude. earthquake has struck shaking buildings in an area that rarely experiences seismic activity. a camera. the united nations captured the moment, the tremor struck, the quakes, epi centre was in neighboring new jersey. the incident caused some delays and rail and air traffic, but new york's mer said, there were, quote, no major life safety or infrastructure issues from the earthquake. he encouraged new yorkers to go about their day as normal despite the square earthquakes don't happen every day in new york. so this can be extremely dramatic. the number of text calls and inquiries that people sent out to not only our ministration for to family members checking on them. we know how this can impact you,
