mariana evans, dean is good to have you with us. 6 months to the day since the hum off terror attacks on israel visuals are taking place around the world to come memory to the victims. in jerusalem, thousands have gathered to remember the 1400 killed and then more than 200 kidnapped. they're also calling on the government to bring home around 130 people, still being held hostage in casa of the correspondence. i mean, as of joins us now from a visual taking place in jerusalem. i'm in, it must be quite an emotional gathering. what have you been hearing? this is a very somber affair. the people gathered here well over a 1000 in jerusalem, but also a 1000 more and tell us even other cities around israel. they've gathered to

commemorate to honor the hostages. those still held captive by a mos over a 130 still held captive. we're hearing testimony from families right now and you can see the crowd behind me and it goes on about 500 meters behind me and another few 100 meters in front of me. we're hearing testimony from families of those hostages. still held captive. now they give often a very somber account of what they've gone through with their loved ones. they're going through now, but a lot of times these accounts, these testimonies end with the chance, bring them home now. and when they chance there's, there's anger in their voice because a lot of people here is real. i cannot believe that after 6 months of war, a very bloody, more in gaza that these hostages have still not been, uh, brought back safely. well, i mean, of course also taking place this weekend are negotiations between is really

delegation and also how mos in cairo um the aim is to negotiate some sort of, uh, hostage release deal temporary cease fire. what can you tell us about what's happening this weekend? well, the has to the negotiations are going to take place is real, is actually going to send a delegation, which is not a given. there been several occasions where is real did not send a delegation to these talks in cairo, but some is really officials of the ones that by sending in the delegation, they might set up the hopes to, to, to raise the hopes of hostages families without returning anything that's because a lot of people, a lot of officials and is real, don't believe that if a mouse is demands remain the same. that's, there's any chance of a deal that's and yahoo has been very clear that if

a mazda continues to demand that troops are withdrawn completely from gaza, before any hostage deal goes through before any release of his really hostages, that he would not agree to that. so there's some hope now that it's really delegation is going to cairo, that some breakthrough might happen. but a lot of people still don't have hope that anything will happen in the near future . as long as that's in yahoo, whose government is in power and as long as they're basically taking a hard line against them off that was there a correspondent, i mean s as in jerusalem. i mean thank you so much for your reporting. well meanwhile, israel's prime minister benjamin antonia who says that israel's forces are one step away from victory. the army says it's pulled all its troops out of southern gaza, including the city of han, eunice. but the military says that a significant force will continue to operate within the last run gaza strip. to

mention, yahoo has again said there can be no truce without the release of the remaining hostages being held by him off. addressing his cabinet natania who summed up what he sees as israel's accomplishments in the war. let's have a listen home say my own. there were marking 6 months of war today. the achievements of the war are great. we've eliminated 19 out of 24. how much battalions, including senior commanders, and we've killed, wounded or captured a significant number of how much terrorists we've cared, chief up, as well as many other terrorist headquarters. we've destroyed rocket manufacturing plants, war rooms, weapons, and ammunition caches. and we continue to systematically destroyed the underground tunnels where a step away from victory. man, it's a home, was a bring in marina maryland. she is an associate professor at kings college london.

welcome to the w marina. what do you make of these achievements as natania who calls them over these past 6 months? now? good evening, marianne and then the assessment is very interesting because these are some metrics by which he judges success. however, as has been shown in the past, such as during the vietnam war of so called counting on enemies casualties doesn't really provide you a real metric of success of the operation. and what we're seeing right now was events on the ground and the fact that one battalion moved to the left in the cells and part of gaza. you will see that the 2 ends and destroying from us was the 1st one there and releasing the hostages. they have still not been achieved and the question is how compatible as those 2 aids with one another. well, you know,

as you say, despite the fact that the objective of the is really government was the elimination of how moss is this at all likely, at any point in the foreseeable future, that will defend the manufacturers. and we're seeing israel is under a lot of international pressure right now, especially after the killing of aid workers and gall, so a few days ago. so is that you can be us both ways to lot of concerns. there are also un security council resolutions on the one hand, so israel is contingent on extra mental health in order to continue the fight on the other hand or a threats coming from 11 on through high school. you ryan has pledged to avenge the death of its um generals in damascus. so another form could open up. so israel is now focused on gaza. however, as we nodes are also across border attacks taking place. meaning israel will have to mobilize more reservists and be injuring israel's own economy. and then you have

the people who are demanding the release of hostages and we don't know how many are alive. so there are a lot of political factors and external factors which israel doesn't control which can determine the course of the corporation because of troll miller trees. the military instrument is subordinate to politics and what and then yeah. who will do and what the a ceasefire. the truth cox in egypt will show will determine the future course of how this war will continue. and that's the way just reported. these really armies says it's pulled out all its troops out of southern gaza. what do you make of that? of late from my understanding, one brigade off about the salt into 2000 soldiers will still be left, installs and gaza in order to control the current cory door to noise. and does the what, what, what i make or 5th,

essentially is that is the route might shift to more localized strategy. meaning that small unit, the units will be deployed in order to eliminate come off cells. but you will not have the same scale off operations as we have before. the, as a possibility is of course that they are waiting out. now we're paying and i'm hoping that they can receiving the operation in rasa. there are maybe preparations for some sort of humanitarian corey door and this time will of course allow for you to many terry and are able to reach the solid and part of gaza. but from a purely military perspective, the fact that so many home us operatives happened, destroyed, doesn't mean the group has destroyed. so this break means that the group can also regroup and recover. which from the military perspective is not ideal from israel's point of view. that was marina murano, military analyst,

and associate professor of kings college london. thank you so much for all of your insights. thank you for having me or for wanda, is marketing the 30 year anniversary of the start of the 1994 genocide is estimated at more than 800000 people were murdered. political, religious and community leaders have gathered with survivors and can golly to remember. the victims of the killings which were mostly carried out by extreme is from the country's majority, ethnic hutus against the minority to the population. dw, mario miller visited the near montage genocide, memorial site, a former church where thousands of people were killed over several days. it was one of the worst atrocities of the genocide in rwanda. 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. look, how can i get off at the gate and not the 1st stay 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. the belongings are still here, frozen in time. and each piece tells the tale, a person's elbows tightly tied behind their back before being executed. toddlers killed with the parents who to administer had stopped at its coming street a few days earlier. many to 2 families sold refuge here, thinking that'd be safe under the symbol, you're coming back to this place 30 years later. i think that is still a big wound. but it helps me to remember many of the people who died here called into a hush with you. you shouldn't have left the church but was attacked and injured. one of her children she was trying to protect was killed. the remains of more than

45000 people arrest at the memorial side. so i'm on display a reminder of one of the was mess it because of the genocide. i said you kilometers south east and we'll move. we'll move image and attempt at reconciliation. former perpetrators and the families of the victims left side by side. here, louise's 2 brothers and the cousin were killed by a neighbor, these twin knobby, but they were brutally killed hacked here and here in the head, in the throat, all parts of the bodies, shred it, go by them. oh, my god, brothers, i loved the hands that would have supported me down the man who killed them. c p. m . i trouble was tried and spent 12 years in prison. on his release, he asked louise for forgiveness and she accepted with other former perpetrators and victims irregularly participate in activities promoted by the government to create

unity among vandals. but with that workforce on tied to, could she forgive tacos and kenneth of her baby? good. what to 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, it's an older woman. her son who was killed during the genocide would now be a grown up like other kids. and kind of hopes that generation will be able to put the divisions of the past behind them to let's take a look now. some of the other stories making news around the world storm. kathleen has swept over the u. k. and ireland bringing disruption to air travel and fairies . the storm also caused power outages in over 30000 homes and businesses in ireland residence there has been warranted to avoid toll roads. poland is holding local
