but it doesn't have any water or any food or drink or aid or anything. we don't know what to do with israel had previously labeled rafa is a safe zone. more than a 1000000 people have been sheltering. mia, now it's is rails laces. battle zone. it's is the city is a strong hold for him. us militants. tanks patrol easton district and is strength escalating thing with children among the victims were the sort of in the as rarely army struck us with 2 missiles without warning of them. and this is the criminal act. 8 people were murdered among them were little children who had nothing to do with any of this. you had you say the restrictions on the i,

spoke with the middle east analysts, laura bloomfield, and she told me more about the differing positions of these really and us leaders. i mean from biden's point of view, this is like a friends. don't let friends drive drunk moment. he's taking away the keys. so to speak for an attend yahoo, you know, he's standing on the side of the road and saying, i still got to get home and we'll do it with or without you. um, as you know, so you know, he is really have abandonment issues. natania spoke about that, right to that point on holocaust memorial day. he gave a speech this week where he said, there were times when did you spend alone in the world? no one came to our aid and we will not be defenseless again. so he's really driving hard natania along this period of holidays. they call it the days of all which start on holocaust memorial day. they take you up to a memorial day for soldiers right up to israel independence day. so he's kind of

working with that calendar to make a political point, which of course has military implications that was the middle east l as laura bloomfield, speaking with me earlier. let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. thousands of pro palestinian demonstrators have gathered in the swedish, the of melma to protest israel's participation in the eurovision song contest. israel is represented by 20 year old senior aden, google lawn, who protesters, they should be banned from the competition because of the war in gosh, that's toll from flooding and southern brazil has risen to a 107 rescue teams are still working to bring people to safety, relentless rain storms who have hampered their efforts and more bad weather is in the forecast. dozens of people are still missing. many domestic animals have also been trapped in the floods including this horse. now these television images stirred a nationwide, a po for help, and emergency team has well managed to reach the animal and bring it to safety.

under sedation, the horses believed to hold out on the roof of a flooded building. for several days. russia had celebrated the soviet union's victory over nazi germany in world war 2 with its annual military parade and red square president vladimir putin use the ceremony to lambaste western powers, accusing them of risking another global conflict. he warrens that moscow will not be threat for russians living here in berlin. also celebrate may 9th, as victory over nazi germany, day. but this year police were out in force to prevent the spread of any propaganda backing the war in ukraine, sharing the same ground. but far accounts in ideology ceremonies, invalid mocking the soviet victory of a nazi gemini, have become more political than ever since russia invited ukraine. and this is

young thoughts were in germany. and we think these are the instrumental ization of this historical rememberance for today's war against ukraine is wrong with the russian symbols with band around the commemoration. and yet some were on display by countries flag was born, there was raised there. almost the flag is a symbol for liberation from fascism. also present diplomats including the messages from russia and it's a live bella race, as well as the russian orthodox priests. around $900.00 police were on hand to ensure public safety with only a few minus scuffles. monitoring the commemoration or the south american now trade unions. an argentine have called a nation wide stride against the austerity policies of president hobby or malay. the strike brought public transport on thursday to

a standstill with hundreds of flights cancel. argentina is in the midst of a severe economic crisis, and malay has slashed public employment to reduce the public debt. dw news met one former civil servant affected by the cuts for the past 15 years. gustavo diaz went to work every morning at the argentine meteor logical service 1st as a technician, and then as an archivist. but then his department was hit hard by budget cuts and layoffs. diaz is finding it hard to reinvent himself and the labor market at the age of $56.00 and said he's lost his sense of self worth. and we'll go back sunday through the field destroyed or not the because one takes a sense of belonging from a job. ben is here. dozens of employees were dismissed from the media,

logical service, without severance, pay in the midst of the climate crisis. their work was important. the status shouldn't go out for them. i collected information from all the weather stations, incorrect and weather books, and did all the all kind of thing and correcting the information helps along with statistics. the layoffs have come in the middle of a recession with industrial output. and construction, both in a slump, the costs of hit sectors, ranging from social security, family services, agriculture and education. to industrial and labor policy. president malays chief economic adviser justifies the costs as a measure to help the country reduce its considerable budget deficit. which means a wants to bring down to 0, but the recession means less tax revenue making that target harder to reach, even with significant cuts to the budget. like on the level,

the number of public employees of the national government is excessive to so given the delicate fiscal situation of the state to collect. and the last 20 years, the number of public employees of the national government has doubled. i don't see is making any cuts in essential areas and the number of layoffs is too small to affect overall employment. you see dro, glad that ot is a researcher at the latin american economic research foundation and the university professor, he says argentine is proportion of public employees. the total workers is not out of line 6 out of $34.00 countries in the organization for economic cooperation and development about bigger public sector by population. they don't have the model number that suits the size and functions of the state. we want to compare it to rich country square in the middle of the table or little bit up from the middle in latin america. when you look at colombia chalet, peru,

argentina is in the middle of the range compared even with present or you're required, or with another case, we're not far off. suddenly the government's promised to cut deeper. has many public employees worried if they will be the next to go? south korea is setting up a new ministry to boost the countries declining population. the national birth rate is the lowest in the world. numbers are still following despite family friendly government policies. the population is set to have by the end of this century, many south korean women complain they must choose between having a career or fam. a john, tim is editorial director of career pro a us information service based. and so she says much official policy on the birth rate is misguided. there have been a lot of different types of government incentives,

but i would say that many of them are targeting wrong things. a lot of the state of centers focused on maybe providing better paternity leave maternity leave for people who are working these days. it's very different from ages ago when women use too many women used to knock work after being married. it's usually both husband and wife. they, they work and so the government instead of mostly was on trying to tackle that. but it also has to really handle the issue of load marriage rate as well in early thirties in late twenty's these days. and people are really not looking at marriage and child care of childbirth as something of a thing that they would do in their late twenties. some society changed a lot, but the government incentives not the not really tackled that part of the changing social norms when it comes to parenthood itself and marriage. so i think that's why

i'm despite many of the students that as it's not really working. but there happened other incentives such as a little bit of an increased support for things like ex, freezing for women to retain the possibility of having children even later in life . really, british toddler, who was born deaf, can now hear things to the groundbreaking gene therapy. researchers say that it marks a new era in the treatment of deaf this she might not be a musician yet, but also having a hearing restored. opal cannot hear the music. she plays unaided, that she was born completely dead because of a genetic mutation. the effect of surgery that took just 16 minutes amazed her parents when the talking to coughing. all right, i was, it was,

opal has a mutation in a gene which should allow cells in the, in the air to communicate with the hearing of during the surgery, she received an infusion, which contains a working copy of the gene. a homeless virus is used to carry the gene to its destination. what viruses are designed to do? what that purpose is, is for them to put the genetic material into cells. and so the, with this attenuate to that, into virus, we can drop a tiny little packet of genetic information into the cells. and that will provide, could change. that is a lifelong we think the treatment can only kill deafness that is caused by this defective gene. good research as think it can also be effective against other genetic you base to seizes. for other people and her family, the, the treatment has had a big impact, allowing them to enjoy the little things like
