trucks have entered garza through a newly open crossing point in the north of the territory. pictures provided by these reading military appear to show vehicles caring desperately needed supplies. crossing the border, the israeli government is under increasing international pressure to allow more agents of a territory to use the worsening humanitarian crisis. there is real control, the land and sea roads to gauze even before the war, which began when homos attacked israel on october. the 7th so could be a delivery through this new crossing indicate that is real, is wrapping up a distribution in the territory w. i mean s of told us more or well the white house has comment on it. and so that they're pleased with the developments that what we're seeing now is, is real reacting to the pressure to bring in more aid to gaza. but we don't know that much about it. a lot of questions are made about how much it can be brought in
1:02 am
through this road without any infrastructure, whether or not they are coordinating that aid with 8 organizations. and especially since the truck, the deliveries are being basically processed in cam shalom and south before being driven up to the northern check point. how efficient this is and why they're using this instead of the arrows crossing, which it previously was there. although the arrows crossing has been destroyed, it was destroyed and fighting on october 7th. but the idea has been tight lipped about all these questions. and here's some more of the latest developments in the war and gaza is a real, has intercepted dozens of missiles fired across its motor from 11 on the wrong back . the militant group has belie, says it carried out the attacks and responsive is really striking. the southern 11 on israel was also preparing for possible attacks by a run in retaliation for an air strike on the ringing embassy and syria.

and is released handlers have strong a village in the occupied west bank setting fire to houses and killing at least one palestinian violence flared. his thousands joined to search for missing is rarely teenager separately. and is really forced a shot dead to other palestinians in reigns in the west bank. as we turn to hating now, where transitional council has been formerly appointed in an attempt to qual, turmoil into trouble. caribbean country governing council's most pressing task is to restore law and order. after months of violent unrest caused by armed criminal gains, nearly 100000 people have slept. the capital port or prince. and the former prime minister was for after the former prime minister was forced to resign. last month. the transitional council will prepare for new elections in 2026. i'm now joined by brian cannon. he's
1:04 am
a civil rights lawyer and director of the institute for justice and democracy in haiti. thank you very much for joining us. so do you think the new council will be able to rein in the violin games that have controlled much of the capital for the last several months? so thank you for having me on. it's important to note from the beginning that there is no council, and it also has not been appointed. everybody was expecting a council to be appointed. but if you look at the document that the current government has issued and prime minister ariel henry is still in office, he hasn't been able to come back to 80 since march 5th. but he is still in office and his government is still running. they said that the people designated for the council who designated after 5 weeks of negotiation, they can now apply to his government to see if they're eligible. once the government decides who's eligible the the council can be installed when the prime minister makes the necessary recommendations. remember, he's in california,
1:05 am
but after that happens, you still don't have a new government until a new prime minister has been, has been agreed on and named. and it looks like it's going to be at least more at least weeks. and probably months before the transitional council actually takes office if ever. so in the short term, you're certainly not going to be any progress against the gags because there's not going to be a transition in order to to pursue the gags. so there's, is there anything, at least at the moment that this council can do to help bring into violence, or is it going to be a continuation of the status quote for the next coming weeks or months? as you said, i mean, the council doesn't exist. it's like you would meet, can't do anything they, they have no power they, they will not be installed. and it looks like the government is trying to keep that from happening as long as it can't. and remember, this is a government that has been documented to have collaborated with the gangs against
1:06 am
political opponents. for years. it is dismantled, hades eighty's democracy in ways that made the emergence of gang inevitable. so what steps can actually the police or the military actually take tell brain in the violence that has crippled the government for so long? i mean, again, with these delays that the government keeps doing, there's not much they can do a police on a daily basis are, are very courageously doing their best without adequate equipment without adding direction. they will probably keep trying to do that, but they're really not going to be effective until you have the transition in 80. and it looks like the current government is, is dead set against that transition. well, it seems like a really thing desperate seems there. so where does this leave the people of haiti? is there anything that they can do as we heard? 100000 people have already been forced to flee the capital. i mean, at least people to flee, at least people hide under their beds. this is really disappointing because people
1:07 am
had felt that this, that this of presidential council did have some possibility of leading to better days for 80. i guess it's still possible, there will be better days, but it's not going to come for a long time. was the only hope that it does come at some point that was brian canyon from the institute for justice and democracy in haiti. thank you very much for talking with us today. in southern africa, persistent route is threatening to destroy some 80 percent as in bond waves food crumbs, the countries president emerson, my non guy was says at least $2000000000.00 are urgently needed to prevent people from going hungry to our dw corresponded privilege. most of the name was a really, excuse me, incentives this report. 9 to one year old page now is that key. i'm a come by me from bob was global show and we're all community. he's inspecting what
1:08 am
lead to is left off. he's corrupt visa, hard times for the not doing that in is he contemplates the months ahead. good years. he often harvested more than 2 tons of grain from this field, but this time he will barely get a 50 kilogram sick. version is from now on to the next task list in february. what do you think we're going to suffer? we are going to stuff or you know, i see people die. what if we try to use you prove someone cuz he's u. s a v. a dry spell is ricky hobbled across. the as in, bob went into other solid in african countries. the poor range mean about 2700000 people will not have enough to eat on the table is the see it may is, is this tip of food in zimbabwe, but when copes say you like this?
1:09 am
it is tough for many families. people. i'm now trying to figure out how they would survive in the coming months when the situation is expected to get west is if i was president, is appealed for you money, terry, and assistance to feed the hungry top on our pile priority is securing food for them. by millions, a nose bubbling must succumb to or die from honda. but quote, it is like these are likely to get with scientists predict increasingly frequent droughts in coming years. in the u. n. food and agriculture organization sees countries must be invest in drought proofing the agriculture. in most countries, investment in drug on his account is locked in. so national,
1:10 am
international resources partners need to invest in thought resilience because it is the most important, has that before southern africa. don't full summer league is a chemical imbalance or tentative. what that associates like these essential life saving improvements old as in bob was traditional reign fed agriculture. let's talk now to robert mclean and professor of geography and environmental studies at the university of waterloo in canada. so as we heard during the report, this drought is being blamed on the home, you know, effect. can you explain what that is? and why, suspecting this region of africa, as sure it's so naturally occurring climate phenomena that happens once or twice each decade. uh, it started about 10 or 11 months ago and it will be at being later this year. it's initiated when trade winds over the pacific ocean. we can allowing really warm water off the coast of asia to migrate across the surface of the pacific ocean
1:11 am
where it cools on, on the west coast of the americas. when this happens, it starts to have an effect on global temperatures and precipitation patterns. so we've seen record high temperatures globally over the last 10 or 12 months. we're also seeing changes in precipitation patterns, particularly in southern africa and western africa. for example. this is a part of the world in southern africa where there is a distinct rainy season that runs from november until april will this year, what happened because of bell nino is that the rainy season started later than usual. and there was not as much rain, especially in february, as would be in the normal year. and now the range of pretty much finished for the year, leaving the seems that we saw in the earlier a segment where crops are failing over half of the mays, crops in southern africa have failed. and things look very dire right now for food supplies. and we are seeing some pictures right now, which do i give a feeling of that dire situation there in right now. but africa has often had long
1:12 am
periods of prolonged road is a continent especially vulnerable to climate change. so it is a and much a stroke. but also the impacts of extreme storm events and flood events. in fact, last year, at this time, there were severe floods in many parts of southern africa. and there's a few reasons for this one and said again, that very seasonal precipitation regime, where most of the rain falls in one period of the year. and then there's no rain for months afterwards. so that makes the, the southern part of africa in particular, very vulnerable to either a poor monsoon season. a poor rainy season, or conversely, a very heavy rainy season as well. we also have large numbers of, of poor people and people who are farmers, or have subsistence livelihoods much higher percentage than in other parts of the world, which makes those people especially exposed and at risk to drive it sends whether extreme weather events. i will recall also that in 2018,
1:13 am
the city of cape town in south africa almost ran out of water because of the success of years of low precipitation. and we also have a very large young population. so of the 20000000 people in southern africa, we're right now we're facing food shortages. a very large percentage of them are children who obviously are much more at risk for health, implications for during periods when there's not enough food to eat. i'm afraid we have to leave it there. that was robert mcclendon. thank you very much for your assessment. thank you. and we turned out to some sad news in the world of fashion. telling designer roberto corvalle has died at 83 . no, for as bold and colorful animal, prince devali founded his own label in 1970. it was popular among the international jet set, and his clothes were worn by stars, including sophia, lauren, and jennifer lopez. he died at his home in florence after a long illness. and the berlin zoo is celebrating the 67th
