the critics a could the rail george's hopes of joining the e. u. the hello and terry martin. thanks for joining us. israel has reopened. the error is border crossing into northern garza. it's the only crossing into the north of the territory, but it was closed. following him, us is october 7th terror attacks. agencies had been calling for its reopening for months to allow them to deliver desperately needed food and medicine to hundreds of thousands of civilians at risk. if pam it's more on that. let's bring in our correspond to rebecca rivers in jerusalem. rebecca, how much of an impact for the opening of the or is causing have on the humanitarian situation in gaza? so 1st, sorry, i just want to clarify that this isn't really

a reopening guess. error is uh, was open, obviously until october 7 and it was closed subsequently. but it was never a goods crossing. it was always a pedestrian crossing and now it is being used because obviously because of the infrastructure that was there and that has been now re built around that area to allow for trucks across through. so just not to confuse anybody that is, is, this is the reopening of a goods crossing. now of course, in terms of what benefit it will have because every bit of a terry that gets through into the besieged goals, this trip is making a difference will help every sack of rice, every box of medical supplies. but this opening of air is, is by no means a silver bullet. certainly it's location in the north of the street, we'll get around. some of the logistical issues that are faced by humanitarian work is trying to distribute that aid on the other side. it will be able to go straight into the north of the street, which is facing some of the worst conditions in the gaza strip. but, you know, we seen yesterday, we saw 30 trucks passed through. that's

a drop in the ocean really. and we'll just have to see how many continue now it was pretty symbolically opened on the day that the secretary of state anthony blinking was visiting because the us have been putting a lot of pressure on israel to ensure that more humanitarian aid across through will have to see just how much continues to cross through areas though, of course it's being held by blinking and by humanitarian organizations as you know, very positive side. but we have seen a drop in the amount of trucks that, that pass through in the last couple of days. according to you and figures, yesterday we saw a 100 and so is equal, they're about to cross through. not clear whether that includes those 30 going through the air is crossing. i don't believe that doesn't include those those trucks, but from a few days ago we will take many more. so whether or not areas is going to have a major impact. so it remains to be saying out of course view and warning, but disease and simon increasing inside the strip. okay, so that's more, that's only a humanitarian situation in does. what about the ongoing ceasefire?

talks rebecca, between israel and how moss has there been any movement there? well, these talks are at a very precarious, very important phase. this there has been in, is rarely counted proposal that has been sent off and is now sitting on the desk. so come off the latest who a mailing it over, we're hearing that yes, yes. and while the military leader of hamas in the gaza strip is likely to reject this counts a proposal. of course, this is all coming from reports. a slight from 6 speculation and from, from late you know, sources, but this is not likely to end the talks way hearing it is probable that, that the most latest will come back with some changes that they want to say to this deal. now the deal that is on the table looks like it will include something around a 40 day session of hostilities. and somewhere in the number of 33,

somewhere between 20 and 33 hostages will be released in a phased phase period. and that will be an exchange for a number many more palestinian prisoners. now that the sticking point remains that have most demanding, a complete end to hospitality, as they want to see a permanent ceasefire at least the pathway to a permanent se far. and that is something that israel say that they cannot get behind. so, you know, we could very well say that the style room at style might, that we've been seeing over the last several months will remain. but we are expecting to hear a word from us as early as today. rebecca, thank you. that was our correspond to rebecca rivers in jerusalem. now to the united states and protests continue to spread universities across the u. s. leading to more confrontations with authorities. the chaotic scenes follow a night of unrest and violence on campuses in new york and los angeles leading to hundreds of arrest. the majority of demonstrators, our students making

a stand against israel's actions in gaza. they're calling for their universities and colleges to financially did this dive best from israel, us from coast to coast more and more us university campuses. but coming back to the grounds with all sorts, he's quoting us, stand off with pro palestinian protest as many of them students like here at the university of wisconsin named madison were now familiar scene plays out as police officers move in to cleveland. make shift camp, leading to classes in new york city. you have been warned that as for right across the us, authorities are cracking down on campus protests over the war when gaza moving it into clear occupied buildings to the new york police arrest at around 300

protesters during raise on 2 campuses on tuesday nights. but it's the little to that uh, those comes out to the cities for them. university who's done domino as offices move in on the other side of the country at the university of california in los angeles. demonstrate as we build that barricades. but now onto a heavy police presence class, these would cancel a table wednesday following on rest spot by clashes between israel supporters and those come towns on sites and it's still a simmering tension. whitehouse as president biden is monitoring the unfolding chaos on college campuses. very closely, the americans have the right to peacefully protest. they have the right to peacefully process as long as it's within the law,

and that it's peaceful for so for boots forcibly taking over the building is not peaceful. it's just not students have the right to feel safe, they have the right to learn that that message is likely to fall on deaf is as more and more campuses become gripped by process with universities. and the also is he's struggling to strike a balance between allowing demonstrations to continue while maintaining low an order or correspond to benyamin l. risk river is at columbia university in new york, he described the situation there. the situation at columbia university is now called, but still a, the access to the columbia campus. so you can see here, behind us, is it quite restricted, only essential stuff. and the students living inside currently have access and it's very hot out before the media coverage because media has not been allowed to enter

to see how they hold it was occupied by the students and was then overtaken again and by police is looking right now. we're also waiting for answers from the office of the president of columbia university about the situation is a really dynamic that could indeed be changes because that's also what we see at another university in a new york right now with that being arrest carried out. but for now, the situation here in columbia is quite peaceful. right. so get a quick look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. the manhattan district attorney's office, as former hollywood producer harvey weinstein, will be retried in new york. after his 2020 great conviction was overturn. last week weinstein appeared before a judge in new york city. he had been serving a 23 year sentence, more than 80 women have accused him of sexual misconduct. the british government says it has collected the 1st group of asylum seekers for deep rotation under the

so called land act. the home office posted a video of a raid at an undisclosed location. human rights groups have criticized the new law which allows the deportation to an authorized mike. state media in china now say 36 people died when a stretch of highway collapsed overnight and long don't province. the accident caused over 20 vehicles to become trapped. authorities say the collapse was caused by the impact of persistence. heavy rain, the law makers in georgia have approve the 2nd reading of the controversial so called for an agents bill. if the bill becomes law, it will require media and civil groups to receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as being under foreign influence. protestors faced off against police outside parliament and the capital tbilisi on wednesday night. opponents say the bill would restrict basic freedoms, is similar to

a law being used to silence government critics in russia, large protest against the legislation have become a regular occurrence in georgia. now for the war and ukraine, where no one knows exactly how many soldiers have been killed in the chaos of advance and retreat, bodies of soldiers from both sides are often left behind. are corresponded with to see how search teams locate and identify the debt. what's out explosion, loading me and his team have come here close to the front line to find the bodies of soldiers. their work at a new search site usually begins like this clearing the area of explosives, some of them booby traps. yeah, and those are these, the russians usually leave surprises everywhere. they can even be under the bodies

. it's generally accepted that hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died in this war. already. many of their bodies still live here in the rural areas of eastern ukraine. it doesn't take long before of loaded mirrors, team find something. who is most of the young people here had chickens, ducks, cows and pigs on their farms. when they had to free, they couldn't take them with them and up under the animals. my experience tells me these are not human bones for people scully, a little further south, another team lays out what they brought back from a search operation. they found 10 corpses in a forest. much of it was too disturbing to show here. sometimes the soldiers carried vital clues with them. uh for the moment or 2, if we have a notebook with some phone numbers here. this is probably his daughter's contact to cover with this information. so it should be easy to establish the identity also,

but even the smallest physical remains can be enough to identify ukrainian soldiers. there's an extensive d, n, a database local dealer for online because we found tiny pieces of fingers on teeth and fragments of all kinds of bones and the faces of animals. if there's any chance to identify a person that we don't shy away from anything, it's important that everyone is brought back to their families. so the alexi says they can tell what side soldiers were on from identifying features like tattoos or boots. these today are probably russians provide which they kill us, but we remain human. because every person should be buried with dignity. good. back with a lot of mirrors, team. many hours of searching have paid off. they found the remains of several

soldiers based on the location. florida near concludes that these are also russian bodies. he says they might be able to exchange them for the bodies of ukrainian soldiers, found an occupied territory in the bottom. you can, we spoke with them in a bag and store them later, special offices will come and use them in exchange processes. volunteers here know there works gifts, grieving families the chance to bury their dead. it also gives them something for the future. having an official declaration of death makes it easier for relatives to claim financial support. you're watching dw news, just reminder of the top story we're following for you this. our israel has reopened the arrows border crossing into northern gaza, which had been closed since i'm us, is october 7th. the tax agencies have been calling for the crossings,
