a backstage incident leads not only to disqualification, but also a police investigation. the and a warm welcome from viewers around the world. i'm michael. okay. israel has called on palestinians to evacuate more parts of rasa, as well as to northern guns and neighborhoods. these really military says more than $300000.00 people in rafa have already fled the area as fighting between israeli troops and palestinian militants, intensifies in the southern region which borders each heavy classes there have left crucial aid crossings inaccessible. according to the is rarely military of mazda is trying to rebuild its capabilities in the north of gosh, i asked our special corresponded in jerusalem. i email him about the renewed

evacuation and whether these or early signs of a major offensive on russell as well as real is really officials and the prime minister of israel have been cleared that going into a roof. i is a priority for them to uh, the israel would continue with these plans at despite, as you mentioned, international warnings from the international community not to do so. and in fact, warnings from israel's closest allies. the nice, i like the united states, not a to do so so far, but it, israel has been operating in a rough up, but with air strikes that the claim are targeted very straight. so we're talking about an area that is very much dense and densely populated with over 2000000 people sheltering and but southern most part of the strip. and there have been things, as you mentioned, at the, at the,

at the border crossing between rough and egypt on the a gaza side of the border. and certainly these new evacuation orders and the images that we're seeing right now with people rushing out of that southern and most areas seem to suggest that an operation is eminent. however, analysts have also suggested that this invasion, eminent invasion on roof or something that's a little bit more invasive than what we've seen so far, is a bargaining chip for these relays as it is now. the certainly the last of what they say is the last part of the strip where there are, there are still have much a battalion. so it's a, it's unclear but certainly something that they've said that these rules have said they are willing and prepared to continue with just out of curiosity. how did the

people in ross, or get the latest evacuation orders? i will, according to i witness reports. they've gotten them through text or even phone calls. they're also requests that are often being dropped in these areas as a way to warn people that's what is real always because it's it's, it's an attempt to try and um, you know, minimize civilian harm and to get civilians out of harm's way. but as you meant to humanitarian organizations have also been saying that this, you know, warning people when there's no real safe place to go, or no place where the basic needs survival exist is, is, is, is useless anyway, because where are these people, these hundreds of thousands if not millions, suppose to go in in a tiny piece of land that has been under constant berman bombardment for almost 7 months now. okay, that is abraham in jerusalem. many thanks you

a mean while the un security council is calling for an independent investigation into reports of mass graves found near hospitals rated by israel in garza, i'm austic use as israel of killing the victims and burying them. but israel says palestinians buried the bodies. a warning this report contains distressing content . rescue was uncovered thousands of bodies that oh, she felt hospital. in the past few weeks, hundreds of corpses have already been found in gauze as news and in the south at nasa hospital in han unice, people have been coming to see if the missing loved ones are among the dead

doesn't leveled and my husband has been missing for a bunch of months and we've been searching for him and that's where he didn't used to go out much. he would only leave to bring us food and walter doesn't have it. and if he's been missing since these really army entered han, you know, and, and, and we've been searching for him, but to no avail. and the viewing that happened on the international humanitarian little health facilities and hospitals are entitled to special protections during will. the united nation says is deeply alarmed by the reports of mass graves. it is imperative that even the pendant internationally investigative sweets, forensic expertise, i love immediate success to the sights of his mess graves to establish the precise circumstances and which ends as a fellow stevens lost their lives, ands or buddies, already buddies. the families of the dad, the missing give a right to know what happens that out of competing negatives around several of

these mess graves, including seat is allegations at some of those. but it's what and last week you israel says palestinians buried the bodies and that is where the forces examined them was searching for the remains of hostages taken by how much in the october 7th terror attacks of the most one civil defense accuse is israel of killing and burying them. israel had carried out raids in both hospitals, alleging how most militants use them is come on, sent us to hold hostages. mass grave, excavations are complex and dislikes of already being dist stubs. uncovering the truth of what happened to you could prove difficult. the ukranian government says it is committed to repelling a new russian ground defensive on ukraine's north eastern border. according to local officials,

hundreds of civilians have already been evacuated from the area in the hockey region, russia plains that have captured several village as well. ukraine says the russian casualty rate is near record levels. you print 2nd largest city keys has come under constant russian bombardment in recent weeks. random a ron is from the war studies department at kings college london. i asked her if we are seeing a new front in the war as well. that's the big, very good question because we don't know if the russians are doing it as a distraction. so they launch this operation as a distraction in order to lower ukrainian forces. and the reserve units away from us are locations such as tri city are possibly and open a bigger offensive in those locations for they could indeed be establishing what put it in has called for, namely

a box for us own in order to protect balderas. and that has been the non several months ago, so it would align with so subjective at this stage it's very difficult to say what is happening. and as you said, we're getting mixed reports from both. so you premium and the russian side. however, it seems like the russians are moving forward and from my understanding what they're trying to do is surround both chance and breakthrough. so ukrainian defense is there and make it also difficult to supply you pregnant troops from hard to you, involve chunk, you might be beginning to answer. my 2nd question here in your mind, is this a limited operation or the beginning of the ground defensive ukraine has been sounding the alarm of that for weeks now? so it would be interesting to see you, how is this impulse? because i think that at this stage the russians will not be trying to take the city

or harkey. we shouldn't be confusing the old list so far. keep and the city of harkey may be, as i said, they will try to take some supplements and try to control this. what used to be called agree zone. but essentially when it comes to the actual offensive operations it might be developing into also direction. we also have, as i said, trucks to be off. what on scrum, of course, there was another possibility for this. so maybe they will strike in several direction. simulate tenuously. so it's very difficult to know. and there isn't as a possibility that the russian man is looking at how ukraine is reacting and then adjusting their own plans in terms of whether to further develop this offensive in harkey or a goal for and the direction. mm ukraine. as you surely know is expected to receive new western weapons in the coming weeks. no doubt russia knows this,

and i imagine little doubt ukraine could use those weapons right now. can that military 8 arrive in time to repel the russian to advance and ultimately make a significant difference, as well in order to, to repel the russian advance. ukraine also need a proper defensive lines and well built out defensive lines. and that has unfortunately little to do with the aides that are ukraine will be receiving the as a problem, is that at the camps, for instance, yes, it can be useful. but in this specific scenario, what you created with the need of, um, our vehicles, um tanks artillery systems along with artillery amunition. given the fact that the artillery ammunition is not going to arrive until june, according to the czech republic. it's difficult to say how much, in fact that aide will have if any, i think i'm much more skeptical that the arrival of the aide will be timely,

on the kind of the able to print will be receiving will be enough. and we also have the problem with the number of trips that ukraine is missing in order to be able to deploy more troops to the front to stop the russian offensive walk to the space. so that's the analysts, marina moran. from the worst studies department at kings college london. as always, many thanks. thank you for having me. use klein. the dodge contesting in this year? is your vision song? contest has been disqualified just hours before the final in the swedish city of manuel. the singer did not performing fridays dress rehearsals following what organizers describe as an incident. the competition organizer says police are investigating a complaint from the female member of the production crew klein song you wrote pop of was among the favorite to win. richard orange is the nordic editor of the
