the the, this is dw news live from balance. israel pushes on with it's offensive in gaza, despite international condemnation. heavy on pounds process is thousands of dollars and continue to sleep assisting. also coming up on the program, polls opened in south africa and one of the most important election in the see is, is the ruling amc about to lose is chris on power and desperately see change shelves pocket some, pull the bronze of an unprecedented heat wave made was by changing the

money keeps mckinnon. welcome to the program is rails national security advice that is reported to have said that slicing and gaza will go on for at least another 7 months? the comments come as israel steps up, it's offensive on the city of ruffled despite an outcry of a civilian deaths, the health ministry and gaza has published new sake of saying more than 36000 people. i've now been killed in the own place since israel started its military campaign in response to hum us a terrorist attack on israel last october dw tanya fema is in jerusalem, and she joins us now for more. tanya and what can you tell us about the situation and ross are right now. it was, we're getting report set,

intense bombardment is going on in different parts of the office also in different areas across the goals and strip many in the north, but also in central garza, with injuries reported. and with a desk told that is a wrong thing. the now we understand that from eye witnesses that they have seen tongues, you know, advancing into what the center of cross off as of tuesday with and fighting. also we've come up, but that is also a test. we don't get many details there from the is really military on the movement stair, but the is most national security adviser talking on s b headset that basically 75 percent of the philadelphia corey door. that is the border area between uh egypt and a golf. a is now in control of israel, which also is problematic in terms of the relationship with each,

but that gives you a sense of how is wireless advancing so that, that, and we also, of course, get you know, that over 1000000 people are estimated to half now left the city, the town is emptying out also from areas that have not been cold, yet ordered by the military to evacuate, as people are fearing the advance of the military. and of course they have been saying they don't know exactly where to go, because they don't really feel that there's any safe place for them to go right now in. got them? israel says it's offensive and roughly is limited. but how of these new advances, the strikes being seen internationally to well, i think 1st of all you have to say i think posting and saying cause i don't really see it as limited from with 3 understand because they, they are under heavy bombardment. they have to leave once again, many of them have been displaced multiple times, and that has been echoed olson,

the criticism by the international community on, uh, the area know across software that has been ordered to go in the beginning of the war. and of course, this incident on sunday or with 45 people have been killed in many, a severely wounded. a created a lot of out which international lee and of course condemnation also from the united nations, but by many vote leaders, so to speak. but it hasn't really changed course it's ro is a determined to keep on going. there they have said they have to go into rafa a to remove a mouse from power and know that has been repeated attempts by the international committee to to involve the un security council to call for cx 5. we understand that a z area is currently circulating a draft to the un security council. we don't know when this will be a voted on, but asking for a ceasefire to release all the hostages, as well as an immediate hold to the operation or the offensive. and

also we have to wait and see how this will go down. but this comes, of course, after the international or criminal court of justice has called on hold to the offensive and, and also what we're seeing right now that is ro is advancing its troops of the in the alpha. tanya, thanks so much for that update. that's the w's, tanya exceed mountain jerusalem in south africa. now as i was saying is underway and what is being called the most important problem entry election since the end of a pa side stay cuz the african national congress policies, fussy, yeah, absolute majority of polls indicate the support for the amc has dipped below 50 percent which means the policy could lose its 3 decades long. hold on this policy, nita and south africa, presidents, several from those. i went to his house home township of the west. so he cost his

vote and remained optimistic about an amc victory. so this is the critical, don't forget the saw decide on the future of our country who should be the government of south africa and i have no doubt whatsoever in my heart to thoughts that the people were once again in this part of the day. uh, in the applicant mission, i'll come back to point to you to lead to this country. all right, let's press straight now to our correspondent diane hole cuz she's standing by in so west. so john, his bug for us could see you deanna. you are the polling station, i believe. tell us how things are looking by was the feeling like the as well things have been going quite seriously here at this paulding station. unfortunately this vehicle has moved just behind me as we are about to start. but just so that

you have the context, they all vehicles like this that have been coming to this voting station throughout the morning, bringing some elderly voters from around the neighborhood. and so we seeing a lot of activity like this way. vehicles are bringing people and the residents are walking from the homes all around this neighborhood. not the way to is the largest township in south africa. and so they are lot of voting stations here. it is traditionally an amc strong hold, but we are seeing a lot of political activity here for other political parties like the if, if and full also are the political parties like action is and the patriotic alliance have also set up the 10 south side and bringing the members with them in vehicles like this to ensure that they are voting. now the selection is being seen isn't it by many as the most important vote and so see is just tell us why that is

diane, can you hear me? i think we may have some technical problems, but diane, just checking the last some of your sound, they. okay, sorry about that and yeah, you, as you can see, there's quite a lot of activity happening here. i do want to just talk about some of the voters who i spoke to a little bit earlier on. obviously this is a big election for south africa. and a lot of people have been expressing what they're interested to see change. and you know what they want to share with the new government, which every new government comes into into the picture. so let's just take the listen to what some of those voters had to say. if this election needs it. contests the forward keeps work. is that what you then can just work and get with this can be on the same page regarding the,

the issue i bought to the agency coming back or not coming back about to you by. deluca thinks by the look of things in the mood in the communities about that a and see it looks like they're going to do it. all right, so we all hopefully reconnect saying with that's that she is all correspond to diane who will come in. uh, johanna is book. so i'm cleaning know everyone is happy with the reading and see anymore. diane, why has the routing policy not being able to address, you know, the really major problems, unemployment, for example, in south africa, the east some unhappiness you correct on your, with the routing party jobs, as you heard from those sound bites, it's been a major problem. and there's a lot of issues that kind of speak to one another. we've been having an ongoing economic crisis with the economy is just not growing at the rate that it should be . and that is also leads to

a jobs crisis. but at the root of some of these problems really are governance issues. for example, the energy crisis has impacted on the ability of the economy to grow. and people are hoping that whoever comes into power next will deal with these issues because they have become great and brought to issues that are affecting the livelihoods of south africans. the ability to eat on a very basic level and the ability to take care of the families. diane, who are reporting from the west. so in johannesburg, diane, thanks so much for the update us and apologies for the technical and what are your issues? we had that, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. and belgian police have search the residence and offices of the european parliament employee. the belgian prosecutor says the employee played a significant role in a russian influence operation, and it suspects it to a paid 15 members of the european parliament to spread pro kremlin propaganda.

south korea has accused knowles korea of sending thousands of balloons full of trash and ex, prevent across the board or sees or investigating the incidents and have warned residents to stay indoors. balloons carrying leaflets with messages critical, appealing, young, regularly send the other way by south korea, not to this ukrainian president, blood of mister lensky is assigned to security corporation agreement with portugal . he's on a tour of western europe to rallied support. so lensky was welcomed by the portuguese president in lisbon. on tuesdays, let's be received a promise of a $1000000000.00 worth of military aid from belgium, including fussing at 16 rushes of louden. it solution has threatened serious consequences in western countries allow you train to use western weapons to strikes targets in russia. so far, most of keys keeps west and suppliers have said that cannot be used to hit targets

on russian soil, but fronts as president in monday, with my call said that they should be allowed. in some cases, washington has ruled out such a possibility for us weapons, but the debate is intensifying as russian forces appear to be gaining ground in easton ukraine. ukraine's 2nd city hockey is in the country's northeast. in recent weeks, increasingly, a target of russian attacks of russia also claims it has made territorial gains in the heart of the region which borders russia. ukrainian president loading, there's a lensky has warned. russia is preparing it offensive again. tar keith. he says, restrictions on western weapons are crippling, keeps ability to defend itself when they move in, would you boys boy sticks tire any weapon from their territory at hours and they've

been so that's the biggest advantage that russia has. we named was them, but we can't do anything to their systems which are located in russian territory with western weapons. we don't have him dying right separate law, but no need to achieve young stoughton badges calling on members to lift those restrictions. he says ukraine should be allowed to use western weapons to attack positions inside russia. smallest pod basically restrictions. overall laws have no uh, my messages. i think we should not consider doing those so sections. because by having too many restrictions, we are trying to handle the criminal and forces on their back because they're not started using their capability to defend themselves. the united states has already sent you a queen. it's attack comes a long range missiles seen here, and file footage, with a range of up to 300 kilometers. lifting restrictions would allow ukraine to hit

targets, such as any troops build up in the belgrade region where russia is believed to be building an air base cave would also be able to attack supply lines to rush and control cry. mia, which are seen as critical for the problems we're effort on our recent visit to keep the british for. and secretary david cameron said ukraine could use weapons provided by one didn't any way it sees fit, including inside russia, for other partners, including germany are so far on willing to grant you claim that permission fearing it could increase the risk of direct confrontation with most whoa, and ben hodges is a retired us, the tenant general, and the former commander of us forces in europe, new joints. we now in the studio, welcome back to c, w. use this product to have you with us. um, can we start with this pressure that is building to allow you crane to use western weapons to strike russia, including obviously lessons from,

from the us. can i ask you a few a take on that? well, of course it's overdue, and there is no legal or moral or military reason to restrict ukraine from using weapons for tracking targets on the other side of the russian border. and i think that there's a growing recognition among european leaders that if you crane fails, that europe is going to be confronted with a russian attack against nato countries. so it's much better to do this now, rather than have to confront it down the road, which they will have to do. and there's also a humanitarian part of this. i mean, they don't want to be seen as standing by, as every day ukrainian civilians are murdered by russian or teller strikes. so can, and should the us give any ground here? do you think that's likely? um, i think it's, it's eventual, and that's the way this has gone the last 2 years is because of the administration, the binding ministration, which has done well on so many aspects of this has failed the critical task of

laying out the strategic objective. you therefore end up with policies that are not connected to an end state. and so it seems like the, the overriding concern is don't provo, russia, and that's why we are where we are. and what i think is terribly, is terrible policy bad strategy. which brings me very nicely to my next question because of course, those who are against allowing you crying to use a west, west straight rush out, worry about escalation. we followed president bruce and suggesting that western countries needs to be careful about what it all might lead to. how seriously should that be taken? well, of course you, you have to take them seriously because they have thousands of nuclear weapons and because they clearly don't care how many innocent people are killed including their own. so it won't be a moral decision by the kremlin. but i think there's almost 0 chance that they would use a nuclear weapon, because there's no benefit to them to use nuclear weapon. the real benefit for

russia, with their nukes, is when they threaten the use, because they see how we hesitate. we deter ourself. i think it's extremely unlikely that they would use a nuclear weapons still, i can't dismiss it, but i see no likelihood that they would actually do it. if we can talk about what is actually happening in ukraine right now. it is a critical time, especially vulnerable, given russia's recent recent push along the front lines, particularly in the northeast. we know that the troops of the police it. what do you make of where things stand right now? i think it's important to keep in context where we are after 10 years of war with russia having every advantage, they still only control about 19 percent of ukraine. they have not been able to significantly exploit any of their top technical successes like back moved last year or of difficult back in february. they've barely advanced a few kilometers beyond these places. what they're doing now, of course,

is there pushing their mast infantry against creating defenders along in the vicinity of har keith. but it is clear to me that russia does not have the ability to knock ukraine out of the war. they don't possess that kind of capability. so their only hope is to try to overcome ukrainian defenders with artillery and an infantry attacks and, and wait for us to stop supporting ukraine. that's i think that's really their only hope. so when people are doing like, oh, my god, ukraine is, is losing, like, wait a minute, they weren't 6 months without getting any ammunition from us. and the russians could not even take advantage of that. okay. can i ask you your view on germany as long held position on taurus cruise missiles, the child specialist has refused to provide a key with them because he says they could potentially reach moscow. what do you think? well, of course i can't reach my scale. i think this is

a bad policy decision about the bonus counselor. i think it's tied to his concern that germany does not have a nuclear weapon like france and u. k. do. and he's probably worried that if the as a trump administration, that germany would be without any sort of nuclear guarantee or, or deter it. and so he's extra hesitant, but i think germany is going to be confronted soon. if you crane fails, they're going to be confronted with millions more ukrainian, refugees coming into germany. and they're gonna be confronted with a russian army that if it is successful, will absorb hundreds of thousands of ukrainian troops. so it's in german, his best interest that ukraine defeats russia and ukraine retired us the tenant general ben hodges. thank you so much for your time today. thanks for the privilege and your report just released indicates the weld has experienced about $26.00 more

days of extreme heat over the last year highs that would not have occurred without mind. made climate change. several climate research groups analyze data from the 1991 to 2020 to reach the conclusion, they found the climate change caused $26.00 extra days of extreme heat. in the last 12 months, when january scientists announced that 2023 was also the overall process here on record. currently ponce's asia are experiencing severe he wides like a stone is one such example. what temperatures have exceeded 52 degrees celsius in recent days. the air and cannot do it by playing she lives in. what is one of the hawk this places on the planet right now? temperatures here in the southern sense, brogans have sort of $52.00 degrees signal solver and not proper shelter sheets exposed to dangerous levels of heat. have got to me that i have to say that

again. there is no sign. i suppose the son is scorching. hope a car is hiding away at us. but where can i go? good and knew that they had to put a degree longer. they put in focused on, i don't 40 percent of the population lives below the poverty 9. so despite the position kate, many people have gone just be at home or the color we have to work, you're going to have a choice. i'm of the can feed out children that to me or the result of the workers . focused on suiting temperatures come after the countries to breakfast april, since 1961 exports. it could be the 6th dream, but that it brings the human meet to try me. change the 2022 flats and focused on so one part of the countries felt most under water. and because millions and

economic losses investment in the deposition mechanisms hotel focused on these with a fix of time, it change much better. or the governmental pockets that they are trying their best to ensure that predictability is key, where they can prevent massive loss of life from the, the, the already warning systems. and they asked us to support them. but again, if you see the impact of the time of crisis on communities, it's very clear that something ought to be done by defray it. declaration has its limits, but focused on this responsible for less than one percent of greenhouse gas emissions . and unless global greenhouse gas emissions are not good use people in countries focused on, we've continued to peer to create this burden. now who's saying is from the research society of international law, that is a think tank and practiced on welcome ma,

how you are in karachi. can you tell us how this heat wave sales describe the heat for us? so it's a mixture of high temperatures and really in dense humility. so while the temperature might tell you that it feels a close to a certain temperature, in fact, when you step outside, it's sometimes hard to breathe. i've heard people describe it as being placed in a frame button that really fairly brings it alive for us. how can people be helped to cope with heat waves like this? i mean, on a practical level of what kind of help the people need or so exactly how you heard in the insert. people don't have the option to stay at home and stay out of the sweltering heat. so what the government needs to do is make sure that their emergency response services are as effective and efficient as possible. and the government has had applied for heat waves in different cities. and now it's just

looking at making sure that that's implemented on the local level. so making sure that your emergency service providers are in communication with the electricity providers. and with your uh, charitable social organizations to make sure that where people need help, they're able to guess it. and that there's access to these huge with cooling centers. so just somewhere, just sit where those shade where there might be air conditioning, where there's access to call drinking water. ivy fluids just a kind of respite from the, from the heat outside me. back as don is responsible for only a fraction of global emissions, but it is really bearing the brunt of the changing climates. what support has the pakistani government guessing to manage the effects of climate change? so of course, um, financial support is the most important thing for the box on government in key

train to their citizens at this point. um, but i think the young that we also need a conversation on an ownership over the fossil fuels that we're using. so that is required from every single country, including boxed on. we need to be very care that every something we spend on fossil fuels is contributing to emissions, which result in temperature increases, which for people in this part of the world is a debt sentence. so every investment that we make, we need to be mindful of the impact of that that is happening and make that connection. now, hi, who's saying international research. thank you so much for your time and for your insights. the thank you for having me. the people in new york have been treated to a spectacle known as manhattan hinge thanks to clear skies all across the city. the phenomenon happens twice

a year. when the setting sun perfectly aligns with the cities grid system, crowds and photographers gathered on major services across the city to see the external nicole celebration, which is sometimes really difficult to see if the weather is watching dw news. his remind, but top story with israel is carrying out new strikes on the city of rasa and southern gaza despite a global outcry of the increasing numbers. so that means that the un security council has been leasing to discuss a drop thread resolution to end as rails offensive and process following a strike on accounting for displace people on sunday, which killed the with that you're up to date. stay with us night in germany. looks at the structural changes taking place in a form of coal mining area here in germany. again, and thanks so much for watching. the,

the, the

rug, the environment, trends technology company is digitalization, stall, tops, new market, new media. the world is accelerating these the opportunities to try new things. take flights with d. w. 's, business magazine made in germany next on d w. there is a village in kenya. whitmore. yeah. where women rule, let myself,

my husband would have killed me. if i hadn't said that, that along we should see. they escaped violence. both marriage and tennis, who needs relation any more? yeah. the women take a stand against the patriarchy of the tried to assemble. and to many on most in the in 45 minutes on d, w. the values for robots back to one giant leap for exploiting the ocean floor. cutting edge technology is, i'm looking the potential of deep sea mining. but this time, a research team will study the possible risk such in order to minimize that we have an opportunity to get it right before we start environmental activism of skeptical

rules fail billions to be made out to talk. you mentoring deep. the greed does june 7th on the w, the people sam, 2nd party i rather than taking cold thousands of meters below ground. there's structural change going on in the cold made the valley great. but now fossil fuels are on their way out. the former coal region has transformed and is being used in a completely different way. can you start up to taking over this? also in this week show the energy transition. new technology is to help the climate, the solar industry. there's competition.
