the, the, this is the, the news life from berlin being, i mean, nathan. yeah. jose is if needed. he's around is ready to stand alone. and it's ongoing war against come us, israel's prime minister of boeing operations in the city of ruffled we continue, despite the us warning against the moon. both are coming up thousands of pro financing and demonstrators protest. israel's participation in the your vision song contest in the swedish city of model. that as each barrels entry is to the final and a deadly new threats for ukrainian troops, platforms have become rush, sales rep on of choice against front fine infantry feed up is the kind of lead

meets the sole judge nodding to deal with this new danger. the british manager, welcome, is managed by minister benjamin netanyahu say, is, is around, will stand alone. if the us hold of shipments because of israel drop a offensive president joe biden says he will pause, offensive, military assistance if ease ran goes through with a major operation against rough up more than 1000000 civilians are shifting in the southern gods and city. nathan, yeah, jose is, is right, must defeat from us, which is designated as a tub organization by the you and the us, including in the rough up in the queue. we are determined and we are united to defeat out enemies and those who seek out souls. if we have to stand alone,

we will stand alone. i have set it before you. if we have to, we will fight tooth and nail to point i. and this by nothing else defines the us in system that's an all out attack on rough. i would be a strategic mistake for these room. believe that they have put enormous amount of pressure on them us. and that there are better ways to go after what is left of home us in rough, or then a major ground operation smashing into russia will not advance that object. it will not get to that sustainable. and during defeat, it's almost, meanwhile, the usa is tens of thousands of people have left for off are looking for safety. and for many, it's not the 1st time they have been displaced during the israel hum oswell. playing the fighting and rough uh the can find a family is once again on the move that headed to con eunice further north, but feel what they will find ton unit areas say there's no lights there. they

chose to go to con us almost. okay, so it's a safe place, but it doesn't have any water or any food or drink or 8 or anything. we don't know what to do with israel had previously labeled rafa is a safe story. more than a 1000000 people have been sheltering that israel has released this footage of tanks entering. the rafa area where explosions were reported. early friday. these rel says, the cc is a strong hold for him, off militants, and dest strikes, the escalating with children. among the victims of the sort of in the israeli 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 and see how you had you further restrictions on a, a making life even worse, israel, his shots, off the vice will rasa voted, crossing, leaving supply, warehouses virtually empty. and bringing hospitals to the brink of collapse. most importantly elements. what is the only human issue fuel fuel fuel that of course also for you in your age that also saw moments and know that. so let us try to get rid of the few all the major a precious, including lost as a whole ration. they come from the walls in the saw, our estimation is that the hospitals only have fuel for $2.00 to $3.00 days. the united states has repeatedly warranties, rail against a full scale offensive and rough uh,

and has halted some alms deliveries. israel the remains defiant and shows no signs of giving in to international pressure. and i know you're off the zeros level corresponding tanya cream. i about the intensity of attacks on rough uh as well in the past 24 hours. they've been reports of evelyn bergman's engine, 10 shelling and across the cause of stripping a goes to city in some of the neighborhoods, but also in central garza. but again, also very intensive in the eastern areas, but also in other areas in rough, uh, also with reports that uh, troops and the tags has been amassing the past days across the border fence there in the south. no, of course the situation is very fluid and tens of thousands of people are actually on the move that have been told or ordered by the is really military and those eastern parts of golf off to

a go to the doctor to other areas to what's the western side of the gaza strip. now the united nations, a agency said the estimating that over 80000 people are how spin he did the cold, but others put the number much higher and people are still leaving. also those are, we've been talking to some of them on the phone saying, you know, even those in the areas that have not been asked to leave the area because they're feeling that this crude expand also into, you know, other areas of golf off. and now this of, of course, people behind it and the report it has been displaced, time and time again. and they have the choice to either go, you know, for the back up north, a, to con eunice, over a lot of the city is in ruins and then rubble. and, or to go to an area in the, on my wasi that is on the west. and shore aside, that's a send area and 8 organizations have said, no,

there's not enough infrastructure. it's a very difficult area for people being that it have to be and attends is another also a very hot day, a today here in the region. now and of course the south is the area, but most of the 8 organizations have been working and it becomes increasingly difficult for them. so it is the situation that gets more dial by the day, but the tunnel doesn't. the phone is really offensive in rough. uh, foot true stokes, on the line a quote from which we understand the boast, delegation stays rarely, uh, and the how much delegation middle. so the american media to they have all a left, a cairo. now the addiction for a ministry has put out a statement, basically calling on the 2 sides that they should, that have to show more flexibility to come to a deal or an agreement that would see a temporary cease for it. and the release of those remaining,

or at least some some of the remaining uh hostages. uh in garza no. uh, they seem to be major disagreements still from what we understand on the main point for how most ones are permanent and to the war and a permanent withdrawal of israeli forces. this also, you know, not clear how many of the hostages, that's how most would be able to release our a, still a noise. but, you know, we also hearing a time and time again that the is where the government has said they want to go into rough of whether this deal or not. and that is of great concern, especially in israel to the hostage families of those 128 hostages that are still being held in gaza. live there for the time being kind of cream by inducing them thanks very much. to the origins on contest in mountain mall, sweden now at the 2nd time you finally on thursday evening, israel's entry eden golden secured a place on saturdays for knowledge i did in the day, thousands of pro balancing and demonstrators march through melbourne to protest

against ease rails intrusion in the contest this? yeah. of the year. the final is for the sea is your vision princess have officially been decided the same favorite, switzerland power their way through to the final around the vehicle is competitive. the middle is done with the wild emotional rollercoaster. the but it was these rails qualifying performance because the biggest uh much of it off stage. your business organizes have faced close to block israel from participating over the war in garza more than 10000 pro palestinian protest as much through the streets of moma,

to protest. israel's inclusion in the show. it will be. what do i see is that they disqualify you for like they did with russian or not, you know, as always be political, those to approach to be a reno way performances were taking place. we met with a heavy police presence in another part of the city pro is really demonstrate is also gathered to support the performers we thought it was important to get together and celebrate celebrated music celebrate the happiness instead of the hate security is tied ahead of me protests planned for cents a day when the $26.00 qualifying nations will go head to head in the euro vision finals. let's get more of this from the, the fall to david limits. david,

good morning. this is a, your vision has been particularly political positive. they've been up to the test on the streets and calls for boycotts of israel's entry. i mean, how much of that was possible at the show. but just watching the show broadcast, like millions of people do it on their tvs and laptops, um, it was not palpable at all. it just seems like any other eurovision, send me a final. but apparently, earlier in the day, at a rehearsal, the is really entry, a didn't go line was booed by audience members. when she took the stage, that of course is not broadcast. and the security around the is really team is very high, and they're staying at an undisclosed location. so there are a lot of things that aren't normal behind the scenes, but the organizers are trying very hard to maintain the appearance. let's say of a normal, you're a vision without protests, at least on the broadcast. and some of that is they're going through the bags of the audience members, making sure that they're not bringing in palestinian slides to waive in protests or

any other flags of nations that aren't represented. but what's actually been harder to control have been the other contestants. so the 1st semi final, earlier in the week of the irish act bambi stock. they had some political statements including ceasefire written on their cost to them. that had to be removed by the organizers. the swedish act who himself is part, palestinian managed to sneak and a cookie posted spinning and scarf under his sleeve. and, and some people think that these kinds of protests will actually help the contestants in their performance in the, in the audience. both the organizers of course have been saying this is endangering the non political nature of the in that event. but just thought all the, all these process and all the calls particularly to ban israel's participation yarborough vision has decided begin state. what is behind that position? right, they've, they've kept israel and that, that already comes. it all comes back to your vision's claim of being

a non political event. it's meant to be about promoting peace and understanding between countries. and at least that's why the event started after world war 2. obviously the though there's, there's not peace on earth in europe isn't, has to figure out what to do, how to react. so it's a realities. protestors have been pointing out that you're a vision did bar russia and ballers after rushes full scale invasion of ukraine back in 2022. they were barred and they're saying, well, if you barred russia, why not bar israel based on its actions in gaza? and the answer, the official answer from the organizers, the european broadcasting union is very dry and technical. they're saying this is, look, this is not a contract between governments. this is a contest between public broadcasters were a part of this broadcasting union. we had problems with the russian and valor roost public broadcasters. they didn't have free press. we don't have that problem with as well, so israel gets to stay and that's obviously an answer of it's very drive that

doesn't we use all of the protesters, but the e b. u did take some action on israel site on its original song lyrics, which they were deemed to political because they made specific references to the hum us terror attacks back in october. and those weird has to be changed. but for israel to be allowed in. so is there any, certainly in the country that is getting the most attention, but come the finale on saturday, which are the other acts that country that people are going to be looking at. but if you're looking at it from a pop music perspective and not as politics perspective, um, i'd say switzerland is one of the exit. a lot of people are looking at that suites with wrapper nemo is non binary. they wrap about that. it seems in the song called the code that it seems that it's about breaking the binary gender code if 0 and your vision is known so many people has that kind of gay olympics, right? but this would be the 1st non binary winter. and you know, there's, there's plenty of just trash. i mean, much in,

in the most celebratory positive sense of the word that was i think that the netherlands is the best example we just saw there. and we leave it there for the time. big dw bought of dave and live it's thanks so much for coming to consume. do you feel that things best? a quick look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world, china and hungry have signed agreements trending. that you cannot make ties, chinese presents agent being made budapest. the final stop on is the auto pay and to get in 5 minutes to victor, all bon appraised beijing's rising insurance on the world stage and 3 quarters of investment and hungry. last year i came from trying not to have him call you, so it is the same as your grands president validated, savanski has dismissed the hand of the states garza. you know, a successor has the name on this vehicle. thought of these arrested senior officers from the service, accusing them of plotting to assassinate semanski and other top officials gave claims they were working full russia. germany is buying 3 high mars

a rocket launchers from the united states to send to you. great german defense minister bonus for starters has gotten paid washington for talks. ukraine has dozens of high modest systems that can strike targets fall behind enemy lines with a high degree of accuracy. over the past 2 years, russian beside attacks have become part of everyday life. for people across you plan one which western air defense systems have helped ukraine to manage. but closer to the front lines, there's a growing spread from april, a bigger and more dangerous russian light bulbs. the deputies economy meets ukrainian troops learning to live with this new danger for some black gums, tearing to recreate in hanging in 2024. at least that's according to russian military blog is crushing the cranium. social media has been full of these kinds of images in recent months, but seeing it on the screen, but it doesn't quite prepare you for seeing the impact these weapons can have your

own noise. this is the damage done by the smallest kind of like pump currently used by russia to well, if it was just a small part of the blog going through it, just this was a 250 kilogram. glad want to give you a sense of scale. i'm to make this tool. these are great new, so just know to well what it feels like to be of the receiving end of russian. glad bowman tax. tell us they 1st came up against them about a year ago. recent months they've been getting bigger and more frequent. on the card problems, mike is using sound. did you hear that sound? and soon enough there is an explosion. you've got debris flying around, and then the shock way for you to right now it's the russians go to weapon to force out infantry out of the dog. that's what i'm supposed to even use says i'm glad to flatten everything. it doesn't matter. how did you, did your trenches at one help? this will, is the 1st to seek live bones, use

a widely into such effect. but the technology behind them isn't completely new. this is a hybrid what the lod bottoms that just conventional dumb bombs. they have turned into precise smart bombs with the addition of special wing kids and satellite navigation systems. crucially, they can fly up to 70 kilometers with this and thank you. that means russian pilots can launch these guy comes out of range of most ukranian air defenses. and by repurposing soviet era booms from its false don't biles, russia can produce these weapons that speed or follow it costs than any equivalent . ms. r. c will waive on the water. so you have reached the beach, these russian bombs are cheaper than anything the us has endorsed. they use the simple list mechanics and a very primitive wing cases. i want to keep going with the whole thing cost less than $20000.00. to do i said this is the lady was not fully complex

comparison. even the cheapest cruise missiles russian has 5, ukraine are estimated to cost around a $1000000.00 each to produce russian black gums often fail to designate the ukranian troops the challenge to better understand the weapon that they face show they put together crudely, but they're effective. i do know damage the not hillary many grains of, of where the country doesn't try to build its own gland, palms producing these weapons isn't the problem the most most safely is russia's s 400 defense systems down ukrainian planes up to 200 kilometers away gradient experts and sold a degree, there's a new one realistic onset to rush, just like problems. and that's matching rushes capacity to shoot down the plane that can carry these booms. ukraine has already proven that it's possible. you can, you're forced to say they shut down more than a dozen russian planes in february alone was experts believe that was down to west and supplied patriot defense systems. that is,

until the much russian forces were able to destroy to ukrainian patriot launches. since then, ukraine has kept his handful of patriot systems away from the front lines preferring instead to protect the countries big cities. until you can get some more of these at defense systems. can again afford to take risks. russian planes kind like booms will have little to fear from one another. so let's bring in frank lead bridge. he's a senior electra in ministry strategy at both with university and a former u. k. military intelligence officer. good to see you, frank. how important would you say, have these clyde bombs being in turning the tide in rushes favor? good morning, but you're actually on to the doctors here. let's see for next report which is, is very important to data. not just recently. i 1st heard about them. i haven't heard about these that they'd be bonds, as i called before

a year ago. they were particularly, i would say, even decisive at the bottom of, of div kinda which ended 2 or 3 months ago. now, just to put this into context and you saw some of this on next report, an artillery show which the soldier mentioned 152, has about 45 kilograms of explosives and bomb. you sold the height about 6 times more than that. and a bowl has been use now. commonly the f 15805. what? 20? so 2 times explosive power. so is this all just said you called hide from the fortifications a useless and bug cause it useless. and they dropped these now by the dozens, every day. so they are a real threat to ukraine. the only count to measure as an ex, i don't very good at defense system to shoot down the, the delivery systems which in this case saw craft. and those are, as was said in short supplies, they ask you questions. these are really important now. and the credit is need to find an answer or speaking of air defense than us. and last month agreed, a mess of $61000000.00 aid package to ukraine. which included patriot me sizes,

but not the systems needed to actually launch them. why would the us send me files without sending the systems? yes, that's a really good question. and i think many of us have been asking where the, where the us mind is out with respect to the so the us display again, little bit of background us as a t. bob tree's is got 480 launches. the launches aren't really important. there's the interest that isn't besides themselves, of course, the most important element to be competitive and you have the radar systems and the tracking systems attached to it. the, the, the credit is now have some say by system stop by dr. is that is a 2013 launches. they say they need 25. so let's be set down. that seems about right. the us 5, but it's, it's, it states they have 80 systems that 480 launches they set by review. i would

suspect they're looking really towards find a way that the systems like this would be very important to me all the bases the us would have, i think, to be quite candid. that's the reason for the, for the us reluctance to send the systems to send the systems because you are paying past also help us. so the fact that keeps allies on sending the weapons that it needs to force russia out of ukraine. i mean, does that indicate that these allies have given up on ukraine actually winning this war? it depends who you're talking about. when you look at germany or the u. k. countries like denmark or france, it's gotten a bins. they've done a very great deal to assist ukraine and unsettled, quite a considerable propulsion of that material to the country to the point where there really is a limit. but i'd be looking at tennessee is now like spade, which has

a battery, which is a loan, is a radon tracking system defending the city of often not in turkey from who knows what why doesn't not goes basically pretty good on other defense systems are quite old ones unsuitables, the current thread. um, we may also look at countries like tech itself. but what does that say? look, it says the countries don't see this is the product. some of those countries don't see this as a product you that others do. but we've also got to look at the fact that this is, this is really a central gravity of this war. is mountain power on all night. so states need to look at the scale nature of the training that gave to you crated mountain power. where that takes place. so across the board, much more can be done. we lived there uh for the time being, but thanks so much as always for joining us today. frank led reach me to treat analyst based in the okay, thanks so much. thanks. gosh,

british toddler, who was born deaf, can now hear thanks to a groundbreaking gene, tennessee research. just say it's boxed a new era in the treatment of deafness. i prefer she might not be a musician yet, but also having her hearing restored. opal cannot hear the music she plays unaided . she was full and completely desk because of the genetic mutation. the effective surgery that took just 16 minutes amazed her parents when the timing 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 harmless 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 attenuated 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 a bedtime story. and that's it for now. coming up off to the break, do use africa. looks at the coastal prices in west africa that could drive off the
