9:04 am
well, um from the tony's part i think there's um, kind of um, reaction to this to see like how kind of will conduct it's drills. so in the future, if there's a real war coming off, the intelligence may know how to respond and the real force will know how to respond in the future. so there's not a real solution, but i will have to see how it goes in these 2 days. the very latest day from dw, so, so on inside i thank you. germany says it will not recognize a palestinian state for now. the foreign minister says concrete steps towards a political solution to the conflict in the middle east, a needed germany is hoping for a 2 state solution negotiated by the used by these and palestinians that would eventually be to a separate state. more countries have voted to recognize palestinian statehood following the october 7th terror attacks led by a mazda that spot,
9:05 am
the war and guns, and barred off from israel by fences and barriers. the palestinian territories will be formally recognized as a state by 3 more european countries sustains ireland and norway choosing to support the palestinian, pushed for sovereignty a step they say towards piece the price of the time has come to move from words to action to the millions of innocent suffering, palestinians, and we are with 70 that the results. but i'm a to make it very clear that no matter how many walls or wrecked is no matter how many villages are bombed and no matter how many illegal settlements are built to land in the identity of palestine will continue to exist in our hearts in international legalities and in the future project and a letter training in harmony. and you'll meet the new in the morning previously 139 of 193. you one countries recognize the state of palestine,
9:06 am
latest signatories calling on others to do the same me and admits. therefore, it used to be with tens of thousands of dead, an injured we must keep alive. the only things that can provide to save home for both is right. you leave them tell us, then it will show those days that can live in peace with each other. israel and palestine, germany's foreign minister rejected unilateral recognition of palestinian statehood tablet and then that's the next morning i have repeatedly made it clear the just solution to this terrible situation that we are currently experiencing does not require a symbolic recognition which a political solution or a solution to the middle east conflict and a 2 state solution requires direct negotiations on both sides all by divide. israel's government also hit back no sound in up regarding a palestinian state. there are people who support this opinion and there are people
9:07 am
who do not. but this is not the place nor the time now to come and you know, let our leave recognize a palestinian state from hot veterans. and any such decision farms is rarely sovereignty and it's really security and we will not allow it to our order to recall our impasse orders back. com. and we will take all measures to prevent that today, even though president not mood, abbas the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome the recognition, and called on other nations to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence dw is matthew mor told me why germany isn't behind the light is kind of painful palestinian statehood as well. germany was caught off guard by this announcement. then there was really no for wanting from news. let's, let's go leaders who made the announcement yesterday to the you partners. and what it did was it puts them in a difficult position, gemini, whose itself is having a historical obligation to be a strong ally to is real. but it also wants to be
9:08 am
a bridge to piece in the middle east. i know germany's position as we had is the palestine state who palestinians, the who should be recognized that that should come as a result of a negotiated 2 state solution. that's essentially the agreement reached between is relays and palestinians. and so the german position is that it believes that recognition know kind of pre judges those negotiations. i'm not quite clearly contrast with the comments we had from the leaders of those e u countries yesterday. believe that recognizing published in each state hood was given pets as to those peace negotiations. how do other political parties see this, even in germany? well, i see, i think it's fair to characterize the political mainstream as being kind of on the same page on this issue. we got some kind of a reaction yesterday from the head of the foreign affairs committee here in germany for the you're gonna send me kind of a route to said quote, another victory for a brutal and cynical terrorist. that's how he depicted this decision from an island
9:09 am
nor we in spain elsewhere the most. that may be the there's a change of tact ralph stigma assume you're figuring the social democrats on a familiar face to the viewers. said the recognition of pa, this thing could be steps on the we to a suit to a 2 state solution. and while another junior colleague and parliament said that germany should recognize, published on his part of abroad, the you initiative is worth emphasizing that that is really boost to position to the minority view here in the political world. so what about the public students here in bell in occupied the humble university yesterday? that's right. around can 50 like the visits of occupied rooms at the university here in berlin. well, kind of several 100 full tested on the site. and university management have agreed with to set 10 protesters to accommodate their full test until this evening on thursday evening. and it really is least system a series of university protests and in recent weeks and months that are showing
9:10 am
support for palestinians on calling front end to the, to the warning garza and i think it reflects the kind of a charge them between the government position and support for us, we are on the way to public's concerns about this conflict. we see in the pools band that the majority of governments do think that these really military operation and gaza has gone too far, that the impact on civilians in gaza is unjustified. and this with the steps to undermine how complex this issue is for jim and leaders. as you know, with the very latest, the political correspondent here in bo, this is wendy active. as it's continue to try, protecting a convoys headed full garza from attacks by extreme is jewish settlers. before the war, 500 truck loads of supplies of de sustained guns as population to to restrict security checks on the attacks. fewer tracks now crossed into the territory. dw is abraham
9:11 am
reports from topical mia crossing where right wing activists have been vandalizing, a convoys on route from jordan through the west bank. these is really aren't going on a day trip. the run and mission. the want to make sure that 8 for gaza makes it there safely us. but when they get to the junction, food is already scattered on the ground. we've arrived at the site of and it's by, it's really extremely we meant for starving civilians in gaza. and as you can see behind the active as through now busy trying to save really what can be saved from that food during courage, by the effect they've had because we really and we made the police academy as well . and we did as the police to do whatever they needed to stop with them. we can see that the only view of the box as well pulling down and the most of the, bringing the glass continued to brazza. we've also seen the police try to come
9:12 am
between the activist and the attackers who even as the police standing right next to them, continue vandalizing the food isaac leaves on the pavement. they full of faith, i know and they. 9 acting gay as if they don't care that people die for mango. this is not the country we want to be. we have enough a living, this check find a deal, the said lives, we live the area. it will make sure that all the dots with go and being put together, the police officers on state refused to give us an interview on camera. but said that on that day, the arrested at least 2 people in connection with the attack. who's after math. we witnessed a few days earlier near this check point. there was a violent attack on another, a convoy activists there. so it is really soldiers did nothing to stop the vandalism. extreme, the settlers had been waging a tax like bees regularly. and israel, a report by the guardian newspaper even suggests that some members of state
9:13 am
security took off attackers ahead of time about the location of a con voice as it was violence like that, which inspired this group of activists to organize their solidarity guard. it's not only a question of what's going on in guys out, it's a question of our society and which kind of a society we're going to be. are we going to be a society that will allow hunger and sending and destruction in death to be celebrated or we're going to stand against it? and to say, we are human, we are fighting for our own humanities. it's infuriating fax. it fits that. we need to be here. we always find people that will be disruptive. but i'm a citizen of israel. i'm also an american citizen. i'm as a human being. why are we not doing more? it's happening in my name. and it's for the governments to the police to the army.
9:14 am
everything possible insults come speak and fast nazis, and from us, the fellow is release. call them. but they continue to try to get the food onto a truck and back towards casa, by the end of the day, the told us all the trucks had gone through with little damage to them, a victory that joins us now from jerusalem. how come and have these attacks on a convoys become a to there become very common sense of april we've been seeing on social media on, on almost daily basis. videos of it is really extreme is associated with the subtler community, intercepting these 8 convoys and destroying them. we've also heard reports of truck drivers being assaulted even if they're not carrying aid at all. so that gives you
9:15 am
a sense of the chaos. uh, that is a around the story right now. if the, you know, a particular seller group suspects that a truck is carrying aid, what they usually do is that they put a road block with rocks and they start attacking the driver. if he is a palestinian looking, if they suspect that he's carrying a aid and he's often sort of by himself in that situation. and that's really the, you know, the, the, the, the frequency of these attacks and the randomness of it is, as we mentioned, what inspired this group to start organizing. and what they're saying is that they're modus operandi is to really try and stand between the aid and the attackers and also with their presence because they make their presence very well known to the police. try to encourage and force the police to come and, and according to them do their job. and the chaos is a good way of describing the situation. i mean, what about protecting these truck drivers as well as protecting the a,
9:16 am
what is the police doing what it, what's these riley male tre actually doing? so when we were there at present, the police was present a and as you, as we tried to show in the report, the sort of tried to keep the 2 groups separate from each others. but what accidents have been seeing is that previously. and certainly this claim is corroborated by the you know, the visual documentation of these attacks. the police has not been a present and has, in some cases just stood by and watched these attacks. that's according to eye witness accounts by activists. and i just wanna get to paint a bigger picture about the situation with the police in israel right now for our viewers who may not be familiar. familiar. the police is of course, under the supervision of the national security minister the far right, the national security minister. it's a more bank of here. and we have seen him in the past couple of days. sort of
9:17 am
implicitly support open. we support these attackers, seeing that he understands their anger, he understands their frustration. and he says that he wants to see them block 8, but that they shouldn't be burning or attacking driver. so there's some support coming from the man who really controlled the police. and he's also boasted about being a member of the security cabinet, was actually voted against israel, facilitating aid a to guys. and there are a lot of accusations coming from the ac service community saying that basically because of the spread of are coming from political leadership, namely the national security minister, police isn't really motivated to do their job. and in fact, the national security minister has spoken out against the police, providing so many resources to protect the 8th thing that he doesn't really understand why so much police is there to protect the aid going to gaza and is being wide spread condemnation of these attacks of course,
9:18 am
from germany included how's the is why the government reacting to that or well, it has touched a little bit on what the national security minister has been saying. so from there you can definitely see that there's a dish he's, he's not fit, he's not condemning the violence openly, but there's only an understanding for what the attackers are doing. but you're absolutely correct. we're now in a moment where is real is getting a lot of pressure from the international community on many fronts when it comes to this war. germany has condemned. these attacks the united states, israel's biggest ally, has condemned these attacks as well. but we're also hearing a lot of condemnation from jordan because remember a lot of this a but coming through the westbank is originating in jordan and that's another, that's israel's immediate neighbor, an arab country with one of the oldest peace treaties with israel. now also
9:19 am
speaking out about this, and so it gives you a sense of the level of concern that this, you know, domestic issue. we could call that that is also resonating well outside of israel's borders at a difficult time for the country and its political leadership in this war context they have from abraham in jerusalem. thank you. french presidency ma'am. while my call has arrived in you kind of donia admits the west bryant's and 40 years, they'll be talking to political leaders in the french overseas territory to find a solution to days of violence and unrest. frances deployed thousands of troops and impose the state of emergency the pacific island is bold in 16000 kilometers from europe, and has been under french rules in 18. 53. the riots broke out more than a week ago, over a french voting reform contested by the territories indigenous population of costs as security. reinforcements will stay in new caledonia as long as necessary,
9:20 am
as most of the files that i speak, there are 3000 internal security forces, then you kind of don't you more reinforcements would arrive in the next few hours. so in a few hours it would be $3023.00 mobile police unit, which is unprecedented. for several days. now, there be no more than the time of the 3rd referendum. let me be very clear. these forces will remain as long as necessary, including during the olympic and power olympic games manage on this isn't occupied in the u. k. campaigning is underway for a general election on july. the 4th, the british prime minister announced details of the surprise ballad on wednesday. most observers had expected him to delay the vote with his conservative party way behind in the opinion polls. but so not said now is the moment for britain to choose its future. to british prime minister rush,
9:21 am
you see not followed his announcement of the upcoming snap parliamentary election with an appeal to voters to put the face in him. i will fight for everybody. i will earn your trust and i will prove to you that only a conservative government led by me will not put all harder and economic stability at risk. can restore the price and confidence in our country. with a clear plan unfold, action will deliver a secure future for you, your family and our united kingdom. so you know, also on the lines the need for strong leadership. during times of global conflict and uncertainty, reactions on the streets of london were clear. it is time for a change everybody's looking for change. now i get them, which would you say that was a problem? and so by default we didn't actually, but i think here we, we,
9:22 am
we might go somewhere else. yeah, i think i think that the country is looking for a change. well i think like, well, we're guessing we need to change that. we'll see what they can bring to the table. things like that as a because people will just want to close the stories out when be a particularly they won't like really and they just want to resolve the main mil position. labor party is also cooling for change of to 14 years of conservative government lead a stomach from us is to fund the social and health services best to tackle wealth and the quality if elected. look around the whole country, the sewage and all rivers, people waiting on fully is and i and a crime virtually. i'm punished mortgages and food prices for the roof.
9:23 am
it's all every bit of it. a direct result of the tory chaos in westminster in time. and again, they pursue their own interests, robbing tackling the issues that affect your family. and if they get to another 5 years, they will look, feel entitled to carry on exactly as they all received. not cool, be on the back such as he steps out on the 6 week campaign trail. labor is currently around 20 points ahead in the opinion polls. germany is preparing to mount the 75th anniversary of its post 2nd world war constitution. the basic law adopted on may 23rd 1949 enshrined human dignity edits court. it was drafted in response to the unprecedented crimes of nazi germany. never again
9:24 am
dictate to ship and pool. that was never to happen again in germany. following the nazi barbarism and the end of the 2nd, what will germany was to become a democratic country? the west and occupying powers? the usa fronts of great britain gave german politicians the task of drawing up the democratic constitution for west germany. the content of what was to become the so called basic law was debated for a long time. the 1st page begins with what's human dignity is inviolable. in 1949, the parliamentary council adopted the basic little fundamental rights were now guaranteed and took precedence over all laws that had never happened before. that was the lesson learned from the said russian national socialism, an era in which the human dignity of millions of people was trampled on and other rights a roll. so i'm just trying to end the basic goal,
9:25 am
the right to life and liberty of the individual modern law in which all citizens are equal, regardless of the race origin, language, or religion. at the time, the basic little framework was being drafted, the population paid little attention reconstruction was more important. and the basic law was intended to be a provisional arrangement which only applied to west germany that has changed over the decades. it has developed into an important an identity, forming document, also within the population. i'm calling because that's how the cf heater, i think, very highly of the basic law. those are basic value. in addition to religion, the 10 commandments. these are the guiding values for them. the biggest part of, we just talked about it with the kids. we said that the basic law enforcement and it's the basis for all people been treated equally then guys, then i am convinced the basic law will continue to guide us well through these times that are sometimes storming, but on the 3rd of october, 1990 gemini was re unified,
9:26 am
the provisional basic law was then adopted as the constitution for the federal republic of germany. democracy has proven to be resilient thanks to the basic law. it is the test of time for 75 years and it is an export to it. it does become a role model in shaping countries that also came out of dictatorships, for example, informed that socialist states in europe, but also in south america and asia. a quick reminder of our top story, this our trying there is staging markets tax with worship center. he'll be on find a jets around the self governing either the, the time on aging calls the exercises punishments. the time pays latest expression of independence days ago. type one's new president cold on china to stop making sense threats. finally, it's spring in europe and jekka ran to caesar the blossoms of fame, full painting, good time neighborhoods, purple jack roundtree,
