is the boat as best 1st providence deployment abroad. since it was found the guy, the elf is welcome to the program. the international court of justice in the hague has begun hearing a claim button, the corolla that germany is, quote, facilitating the commission of genocide in the gaza strip. before our goal is arguing that germany is reaching international law by supplying alms and all the aids to israel for its military campaign in gauze. once the quotes affordable and to hold exports, germany as was new to rejected nicaragua, as accusations, as well as also repeatedly denied committing genocide all crimes and it's responds to homos, etc. october 7th terrorist attacks this listening to what the
3:02 pm
nicaraguan baset of benevolence had to say as the present case. because i was invoking the responsibility of the money in connection with the genocide committed by israel. also the responsibility or germany for the violation of the so lovely jason's a to the attendance i convention. i know the violations by to many of the its own obligations under international humanitarian role. government is facing to, i knew it, showing up legation prevention, decide what with respect of international humanitarian law. best bring in doctor lawrence hill coastal on he's an associate professor in law and co director at the center for international law at the university of bristol, in the u. k. at now. what is the reason behind this little suit in your opinion? i that well so, so the low seat alleges germany's responsibility for, for several violations of international law, both in respect of its failure to prevent violations within garza,
3:03 pm
including its failure to prevent genocide. its failure to prevent violations of the laws of um conflict and its actual supported aid and assist protecting the form of weapons transferred to israel. and much of this arise as much of that. the case in the way arises from an earlier case instituted in, in january brought by south africa against israel and relation to the assault on golf in which south africa, religious genocide is, is being committed in gods or itself. and in legal terms, does nicaragua have a case here as well? yes, it does. and certainly nicaragua is not that the 1st state or, or, or entity to alleged these kinds of violations being committed in golf. are we, i've had the, the un secretary general make these points, the un committee on the elimination of racial discrimination,
3:04 pm
a number of un special rapid tubs have, have like you, that there is a risk of genocide being committed in gaza. the international court of justice stated in january that there is a risk of the reputable prejudiced to the rights of the palestinians to be protected from genocide. i'd even domestic courts have, have started intervening the netherlands, dutch court of appeal for example, or did the suspension of um, sales to israel on the basis of a clear risk that they'd be used to commit violations of the law of armed conflict . and so that's quite a lot of clear evidence of serious risk the violations of international being committed in golf. and now why do you think it is nicaragua, whole countries finding this case or yeah, it's a very good question. nicaragua is actually of a common list before the international court of justice that so, so it's a paid quite frequently. but for the court, many of those cases concerned it's neighbors in,
3:05 pm
in central and south america. but some have concerned all the states and in particular, 40 years ago, nicaragua brought a case against the united states for the us is the intervention and supportive of rebel groups within nicaragua itself. and that was alluded to by knickerbockers agent this morning in the court. it's also the case that this is an example of, of what we might think of as public interest litigation or an applicant status, bringing a case against a novice state. not a soft from the basis of home being committed to the applicant state, but robin in order to protect a particular interest of the entire international community. i'm not something we've seen increasingly in the last, last 10 to 15 years. a jeremy says that this case is quote, grossly biased. what do you say? well, as i said before, i think there's a considerable amount of publicly available evidence from burial,
3:06 pm
sorry to the of sources that serious violations of international being committed in golf and those violations. i saw that they not only entailed the responsibility of his royal, but they can also entail the responsibility of every office state in the world for failing to prevent those violations on for aging and assisting in those violations . so i actually think the argument were on the marriage is quite a strong wife and because he didn't see it difficult uh, is one of his low. so germany serving as a scrape code for the united states as well. of course, they'll be implications for all the states, and the us is the principal arms export to, to, to each row. so an order from the i c j to spend with them. this transfers to each route would therefore be it'd be an important consideration for the us as well. but germany is the 2nd principle exporter of, of the trial accounting for something like 30 percent of alms exports to israel.
3:07 pm
and the obligations being invoked by nicaragua, in this case, clearly relate to the, to the actual acts and responsibilities of germany. so, so i, i think i don't think this is a thought using germany has escaped. good for the us. it's about germany's independent responsibility. thank you very much. low on sale, a call on from the center of international lowered bristol university. thank is what else defense me to. so you have gallon says the withdrawal of soldiers from san eunice announced on sundays to prepare troops for future offences, including into the city of rough following the drove down. some palestinians have now begun returning to their homes, but of the months of s rights and round battles with almost militants. many are returning to ruins. unravel this is con eunice. after months of bombardment,
3:08 pm
displaced residents have been rushing back to their homes after israel announced most of its troops being pulled out of the area. it's a show, a shock. what happened was not small. on my way here in the car, i saw the destruction. it's unbearable. i'm going to my house and then know that it is destroyed. i'm going to move that or i'll move so i can get a show the do a bit further north and daryl bella much needed a to arrived at schools and shelters for the 1st time in 2 months. the need for everything from food to medical supplies is urgent. according to 8 agencies, the un says fireman is fast approaching the i. many children have suffered from them attrition as a result of the crowd and they've been respiratory and health problems such as hepatitis. all of these things are a result of overcrowding in the shelter because a large number of people left their homes because of the war. a war that has my
3:09 pm
lasted 6 months and with no end in sight, i cycle up now some of the other stories making headlines around the well at least 9 to 6 people have died after a boat capsized off the coast of mozambique. local authorities say more than 20 others. i'm missing. officials said the fishing vessel was heading from noon. got to mozambique island when it's sun local media set, the boat was being used as a makeshift ferry. the vatican has reaffirmed. it's a position to 6 change operations. gen the theory surrogacy, calling them quote grey fritz to human dignity. the new declaration approved by poke francis puts them on par with you as a nation and abortion as practices that violate got with john and soldiers have arrived and that the way in yeah, as nato allies see for sure up the alliance as east and flag the troops,
3:10 pm
a part of germany is 1st providence deployment abroad. since the army was found it, it's a major shift which was sparked by russians full scale invasion of ukraine. around $5000.00 soldiers will be stationed in pennsylvania with this brigade expected to be fully operational in about 3 years time. the w as chief political correspondent, travelled with the 1st german troops to the, to the, to i know and told me why this deployment is so significant. it is a significant because of course, during the cold, low west in germany was at the time nato's eastern flank. and it was protected from soviet aggression by western allies that was stationed that permanently for some 40 years. and now says devin, defense minister bars the stories, it's time for germany to give back and to help others be protected from russian
3:11 pm
aggression and help protect nato's current eastern flank. and this is the baltic countries. this is list way the where i'm stationed now. the threat is very tangible here. people are talking about to know about if but about when russell will attack. and you have to say is a shift in mindset for germany as well. germany does see russ is war against ukraine as a turning point for the politics. it's been dealt famously as a site and vendor. so if you see these images of the 1st unit arriving here, of soldiers are going to be station permanently abroad to help protect all those fact truly is an illustration of what site and then the concrete means and concrete terms. but obviously a lot of questions are still open. now it's going to take round about years to set up that brigade properly at what all the stumbling blocks that now this unit that arrives today consist of $21.00 soldiers and 3 civilians. and
3:12 pm
that cost was essentially getting in touch with lisa wayne and counterparts to prepare the ground so that more most soldiers kind of arrive here over the next few months over the next few years. so the next big batch is going to arrive in october, but they're all open questions that they will also have to sort out details full. and the list waiting in defense minister said today is that overall the costs will amount to some 800000000 euros. now, what is actually going to be spend went by who, which part is going to be taken over by this way? know which part by germany. all of these things need to be figured out in the next few months. then on the german side as well, you've got the question of will germany actually manage to get enough people to volunteer for this mission? so far it's done on the voluntary basis. many of german soldiers move on to bring the families, so at least waiting your needs to build infrastructure. people need to go to school and they need to find jobs. they need to find a house to live in. and all of these questions still remain, but overall,
3:13 pm
and this is the message that is coming out from every body, essentially the german and both of those said today, here we are very much aware that list wayne is freedom is germany's freedom this way. neos security is germany security, and that's why they're going through with it onto the corresponding mina hows of the thank you very much. the know tens of millions of people in north america. i'm hoping for clear skies in the coming hours as the way for a rat total eclipse of the sun spectators in mexico, the united states and in canada now for lock into areas along the part of the eclipse. to experience the phenomenal as the seaside city of mazda outline, mexico lies in the path of darkness. a solar eclipse tours are flocking here to see scenes like these ones captured in argentina. in 2020 the move block to sign in cash. the 160 kilometer long shadow reading what's called the path
