pushed into rough. our many of gauze us displays. people have been sheltering, a rough sign, southern gaza, a shelter for more than a 1000000 palestinians. and now the focus of these rails military assaults, his troops portion to the city, displaced the palestinians fully again, while the allies abroad hope to prevent further disaster. south africa has petitions, the international court of justice, israel to immediately withdrawal from rafa and safe. that's military offensive. it will, sir, aust, israel to take full effective measures to facilitate unimpeded access to aid sees measures a part of an ongoing case filed by south africa that accuses israel of violating the genocide convention. an interim rolling and january stopped short of calling for cease file. but the court did state that there was

a real and imminent risk under the convention and demanded provisional measures from israel to prevent genocide where the defense horse, indic israel most in accordance with its obligations under the genocide convention in relation to palestinians in gaza. take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of article 2 of the conventions of the israel has said it is acting in accordance with international law and his colleagues, the genocide case and baseless the hearings. taking place this week will focus on emergency measures only south africa will present it side 1st. the country has a long history of solidarity with palestinian, its latest of drawing comparisons between the situation in israel and the palestinian territories. and that of south africa's former a password system a ruling on the broad

a genocide case will likely take he is i c, j rulings of bindings that the court has no way to enforce them. when, when, where is the international court of justice as it can? everyone only talked about 8 and that's why we don't want a, a permanency star and a full withdraw from dasa. gaza has been destroyed and ross is not safe. guys as a whole is not safe. and you know, that's the whole month of it. i mean, not any ruling in south africa is favor will. however, compound international pressure on israel at a time when he's riley leadership is increasingly isolated over its war in gaza. it will be of course funded battery good has been following these hearings for us from brussels and i asked him about the arguments south africa is putting forward of this already the 3rd time that says also is appealing to the court and to come

up this new into been measures of provision and measures against israel in this genocide case, as, as african is arguing that it is intensifying and it's selling and bombardments and gaza. and as i also know on the ground in rough and that the in the population in gaza is reading the stopped to desk by is right here. and therefore, the south african party, once the court to step up its efforts to keep these right here, to prevent this what they call a general side. so the court should order an immediate cease fire and withdrawal of is rated troops from gaza, or at least to a gulf off. and let's listen to the leads council of south africa, the woozy mozy. monday's a lot. sadly, south africa is he has

a game compared to, to attend to this quote and recognition of this obligation under the genocide convention due to the continuing annihilation of the part of gene and people with over 65000 now killed. and most of the guys uh, reduced to rubble despite the short notice of this photo hearing. so definitely guys travel here today to do what you can to attempt to stop the ongoing general side. the try beauty of the text requiring urgent and speedy proceedings to present the lives of the public gene and people a commitment which south africa takes seriously. right? we're at the south african council, their band. what are the next steps now? for the south africa is making its case today and tomorrow of the court deville here. arguments from this is a rebuttal from the israeli side. and this way, the bill of cause, it's a point to the fact that the time us, which is seen as

a terrorist organization in the, in the you evaluate in the united states and others. but how much is also part of this whole? and the thing on the ground, the south africa did not mention, has, must so far. and it's what it is arguing as soon as i'm us stops, it's resistant and it's fighting, then the war would be over. and the intention is right, has no intention actually to kill the palestinian people. and this sort of this is also a rebutting that there's a genocide going on. so we, we to hear that tomorrow after that the court now then will decide maybe in the one or 2 weeks. and if the, the intern, or provision emissions are granted. and in the general case about the genocide that will take years until a verdict of will be handed down. so if the i c j word will grant this emergency

request brought in by south africa, how powerful would it be? because i see j rulings are binding, but the court has no way to enforce them. the other readings are binding, but they don't have much effect on the ground as it can see now in this 4 of these well against the most because the it is right is just ignoring. but the court says and, and the, the, the main problem for the court is there is no police force or something in the rules that can force either side to follow the readings of the card. so it's a more than the political pressure, but very difficult to, to set that in motion on the ground. really nothing w's boundary good and brussels . thank you so much. i as a man has been charged with attempted murder over the shooting of the slovak prime minister robot feed. so caesar was shot multiple times . that is now in a stable but serious condition and hospital. so lock is interior minister says the

scotland and the 1st game of the tournament on june 14th the with the squad, all lined up coach in august month says he's and it's the when it ma'am, to me a times like this one should want to win it. i think the squad is very good. otherwise i wouldn't have chosen it for maintenance as it goes on. it's a, it's difficult to make predictions. we definitely depends how the team deals with the situation. i don't think the opening game is the oldest hiding factor, but it can be an important step i. scotland is a very good team that i'm kind of chocolate. as an example, to monitor echo flores from the w a sports was at the unveiling of the german squad . he joins me now in the studio. i go cats out of the bag. what do you make of it? any stunners? any? anything that surprised you, not really. i mean, you're not, isn't stuck to his guns. he played with the team that he had to play the last 2 matches of friendly matches. that must be said, but they, they won. those matches which were against france and against benevolence. which is serious opposition, so therefore he stuck to his guns and he called up pretty much the players that he

had already called up. he didn't want to make any serious changes to, to the squad. and we got to talk about this guy right here. 20 course of 34 years old and he's aging like fine wine really. so he is going to be yours. he had retired from the national team and now he is back in the national team. he retired 4 years ago. sorry. the last year was which were 4 years ago. uh, the 2020 years which were play 2021. now he's back in the team and we can definitely expect him to delete the team now and then yours. because headlines, though, about the players that were left out. right? yes. i mean, one of the biggest surprises was smotts. who am i? so is 35 years old. so therefore if you look at it that way, you think, okay, he's too old. he's going to be in the squad, but he is. he will be playing the chimes, the final against $20.00 cost rail madrid against what was the adult ones and from the birth adult in teams, you only pick 2 players, maximum is going to be the biggest surprise missing there. but i think it's part to do with the system that he likes to play. he likes to play with

a high line in might swimmers, as we mentioned before, he's not the youngest one. so he's not as quick as he used to be. let's put it that way. so therefore it makes sense. if you look at it in a technical tactical light and i guess, does it technically? yeah that, and i guess my house with his team, he has the plan to win the tournament. does he have the players to get there? well, that's what he says. he feels confident as well. but as mentioned, he took over in october and november were the 1st matches that he played. so it hasn't been too long that he's been the coach, especially here. he doesn't really have the time anymore and therefore that germany are the host of year 2024. they don't get the chance of playing a lot of matches before. so these are just friendly matches and they have to, you know, he gets to try out different players, he and there, but he doesn't really have the time anymore. so he just went with what worked for him stuck to his guns. and if he's gonna really make the cut and take germany to glory, it's down to, i mean, we always talk about home advantage, right? is that added pressure or can not really plan their favor?

well, we got to think back a little bit into 2006, right. that was a world cup here in, in germany. and there was a team that was also not expected to the great. and they really surprise the whole country really in the world. and from then on germany kind of build up on that momentum that they had success eventually winning the 2014 woke up 2018. they're out in the group stage and ever since it's been in a slump. so therefore, maybe the home advantage will be relieved that the thing that germany has been missing and 2006 very fondly remembered. but they also didn't get very far into that. well they 2006, they, they, they did reach the semi finals, but we'll see how far they can actually go at this home tournament. i go flores of the w sports. thank you so much. i before we go, let me remind you of our top story today. the ones top court has been holding hearings over new emergency measures sought by south africa to stop israel's attacks on rough law in gaza. south african legal team present their case today,

and israel will speak tomorrow, part of a broader case against israel. and that's all for me for now. complex own is up after the break. and at the top of the next hour asked the w with friends cost and i'll be back tomorrow. and i sure hope to see you then by the

entered the conflict zone with tim sebastian. as the board and ukraine grind on the neighboring voltage states watch anxiously from the ring, sightsee, pressing the west to increase a sink here and make sure russia dozens wait. my guess this week is last week as 5 minutes. this is chrissy on this kind of these clear nature as to optics can conflict then by the next on d w. the

1st into ari is whenever they feel like it's kind of to design a session and pain. most the pieces in this guy, the best have most and many on including the volume the how do they do it? the secret life starts may 22nd on d w. so you don't think and feel the same way you expect. and one different thing from life, from your parent. i just want to pursue what steps my saw on fire or you think you kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable,

all stuff. i want to indicate it's time to to and then when generation nash the, as the war and ukraine grimes on the neighboring voltage states, what's anxiously from the ring side seat, pressing the west to increase a to kill and make sure russia cousins with my guess this week is the last to be as 5 minutes to kristy on these kinds, and he's clear nato. i set up a game. the difficulty in the frustration that i feel is that as we are going step by step, russia is going full frontal flows. so how ready is nato to take on an expansion? is russia, why are some rich european states still i'm willing to meet the alliances defense spending.
