[000:00:00;00] the, this is dw news, why? but from berlin, the you, as president says, israel has proposed a plan that could in the war and gods of the deal being offered to him. oss requires the release of his really hostages and the withdrawal of israeli forces from the gaza strip. also coming up tonight, donald trump, the 1st former us president to be convicted of a crime, says that he will appeal this conviction as he runs to be president. yet again, and berlin following washington and saying that it will now allow time to use weapons to hit targets inside russia. small scale warning,
10:01 pm
this move could lead to all out for and as loading and india selection near the end . we looked at the different methods that prime minister in the range for moody is using to wind over the hearts and minds. yet again, the library gone to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome, we begin with a possible breakthrough aimed at ending the war in gauze of us president bite and says a new ceasefire. proposal is all the table put forward by israel unfolding in 3 stages . always rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu, whose office has confirmed the existence of this offer, but says hostilities will not end until home off has been destroyed by them is
10:02 pm
urging him off to accept the deal saying it's time for this war to after intensive diplomacy. try it out by my teeth. my medic conversations with is a visual cutter in egypt and other middle eastern countries, israel as now offering israel as offer a comprehensive new proposal to roadmap. turn on during cease fire and the release of all hostages. this proposal has been transmitted by cutter to home us. well, i spoke to our corresponded tanya kramer and jerusalem about the plan details today by president, by so that's far as your understanding was given actually to the media, to us katara in egypt and also to him us earlier this week. and this proposal is something similar to that we've been hearing a weeks earlier, but those talks have broken down about as we weeks ago. so this new proposal that is now on the table would see a, a,
10:03 pm
a deal in 3 phases. now the 1st phase, which would last about 6 weeks, it would include a full and complete a ceasefire, a temporary cease fire, and that's a result of withdrawal from forces from all populated areas and the release of a number of hostages, including women and elderly. and the wounded in exchange for, as he said, hundreds of public opinion, a prison us know what is significant. he is done when he would go into the 2nd phase during the 1st phase, how much and is read within and directly, then continue to negotiate, to come to this a 2nd phase. and that phase would last as long as they negotiate, and then to obtain what was described as a, a c 5, that association of hostilities, permanency and also this 2nd phase. and would include the release of hostages of me,
10:04 pm
a soldiers and other hostages living hostages. and that's with them continuing to phase 3, which was many see the reconstruction of cause. i know, of course the, the bull is now and how much is court because their stance had also hardened in recent weeks, especially now with the offensive and was also going on. and they had always called a for a complete sensation of hostilities to actually go into such a deal. and of course, both sides have to come back to the negotiation table. they have to decide to come back and have the details of such a deal. so this proposal then it looks like a roadmap to a, to a version a piece that includes bringing the, these really hostages home. how do you think that this is going to sit with is railings or one thing? first of all, i think for the families and relatives of those remaining hostages, this is good news because if there's just heard just yesterday,
10:05 pm
the national security adviser saying that the war could carry on until at least the end of the year. and many here were asking, you know, a, what does that mean for any deal, but in the us president dubai. and you also had the message to the is really government. and also to his various saying, you have to put pressure on your leaders because he also said that he knows that there is, there are some in the cabin that they don't want to see an end to the war. the don't want to see israel coming to a deal, and that the has to be made a decision to be made. and that this is very important at this stage. also saying that basically how mazda is no longer capable of carrying out another october 7th attack, and that they, their capabilities have been degraded. um, meaning basically that is where this can go forward now, and this for you to use ton, you crate. but with the latest you like jerusalem, tanya, thank you. go back to the united states. donald trump says that he plans to appeal
10:06 pm
with his 1st criminal convictions against a former us president. a jury and new york found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money. payments to the adult film star stormy daniels and illegally influence the 2016 presidential election. the 1st former us president to ever be convicted of felony charges, welcomed by crowds of supporters. donald trump held a press conference at his manhattan home. the morning after a judge announced the guilty verdict, she called the unanimous decision made by a jury of his peers a farce, and said that he plans to appeal all of the criminal charges against him. we're going to be appealing this scam, us. we're going to be appealing it on many different things. you wouldn't allow us to have what this is. it wouldn't allow us to talk. you wouldn't allow us to do anything. the judge was a tyrant,
10:07 pm
us president joe biden slammed the accusations of an unfair trial. that's how the american system of justice works as reckless is dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this is greg, just because they don't like the verdict that verdict carries up to 4 years for each of the $34.00 charges against donald trump. though he's unlikely to go to prison, us voters are divided about where the stand on the former president trial and his 2024 bid for the white house. i was very happy that he was found guilty on all charges. no, i don't think he's guilty. not at all. i am very pro trunk from 24. yes. yeah, i hope people don't feel it for him now that he's obviously guilty and we all knew he was guilty already. but now was proven in a court. we don't know of at this point. so it's going to be a big appeal, so we'll have to wait and see. even if the appeal fails,
10:08 pm
he can still run the november 2024 elections. but what will happen 1st is a hearing on july 11th. we're donald trump is set to be sentenced for his crimes. but are we good for brittany is a professor of lloyd dublin city university. i asked him that this verdict means donald trump is going to jail. thanks for having me back in the program. it's obviously new storage days. as you said, for the 1st time, the history of former president has been provisioned by di julia spears, ultimately gets crime in the felony carries a sentence of up to 4 years in prison. however, there are 3 legal points that are worth considering here. number one in the american legal system, the jewelry decides on guilt, but it's the judge that decides on the sentencing and the judge presiding over the key to match and has schedule sentencing on july 11th. so we'll have to wait a few more weeks to do exactly what the sentence will be a 2nd to you. of course,
10:09 pm
mr. trump is entitled to appeal and he has a reading. it indicated that he will do so, and it's very likely to during appeal, the sentence will be stayed, meaning suspended. and then finally, the 3rd point to consider is that of course, this trial is separate from 2 other trials that are going on in federal courts. again, mr. trump, as well as another state trial in the state of georgia. i. so the interplay between these board proceedings also has to be taken a look at. so based on what you're saying is unlikely, that he will go to prison for this conviction as well. um, the josh presiding over the case has indicated that he takes uh why called our prime seriously. of course mr. trump has a clean criminal record so far, so it is possible that he might get probation as a port, as opposed to uh, a prison sentence is not however, uh the uh,
10:10 pm
interesting points left for size from a legal perspective is that even if he's elected as president of the united states, he will not have the power to part of himself for these crime because this is a state prime and so a federal precedent doesn't have to power off, pardon me, against a decision taken by a state court. what are the chances with this appeal that he could get this conviction over turn? i think the choices are limited. the appeal in the us legal system is mostly on procedural ground. the decision has been taken by a jury of citizens of the state of new york. oh, of course the appeal would benefit trucks in terms of delaying the sentencing moment. and it also will have implications of a political level, which i'm sure we will see over the next weeks. i want to pick up the point you made that if he does become president, he can not pardon himself because that's
10:11 pm
a federal authority. and this is a state case where he was convicted of, but this conviction does not prohibit him from running to become president again. so you could have of a convicted criminal becoming president in november. what does this, in your opinion, what does this tell us about the the filtering process of american democracy. stevie circle. yeah, no, almost unprecedented situation. we did see in history before one case of our residential candidate running for election from prism eugene, depths into 19 twenties was a candidate of uh, the american socialist party. so a by itself, a conviction were being imprisoned does not represent an obstacle to becoming president, but clearly here, mister donald trump faces a severe challenges in the state of american democracy. and of course is under
10:12 pm
stress if he were to be elected. why being a convict to prison or possibly, possibly in prison itself up to this point. however, i think the, the trial in new york demonstrates the resilience of the american legal system. and ultimately, also devices on the federal to the fact that you have both state and federal courts . did get interviewed to protect her role. that was professor over there. we go for breeding from the dublin city university. speaking with me earlier. let's take a quick look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, the president of the philippines. part of then marcus junior has accuse china of the legal actions in the south china sea. east spoke at the opening of a regional defense summit in single port confrontations between the philippines and china. in the south china sea have escalated in the last year. several people, including a police officer, had been injured and a nice attack, and the german city of mount hyde. the attack was wide streamed online, and it shows a man attacking a far right anti islam group,
10:13 pm
police shot and seriously wounded. the alleged attack of the the german government has authorized ukraine to use weapons supplied by berlin to strike some military targets inside russia. but only in defense of the eastern harkey. free of the mood marks a shifting policy, and it follows us president biden's decision to allow ukraine to use american weapons to strike certain targets on russian soil. the loose or restrictions are intended to help ukraine pushed back russia's latest advances. on friday, native foreign ministers gathered in prague to discuss their continuing support for t even how ukraine can win the warp. they, the secretary general against oldenburg, says the moscow should not think that it can simply wait out. this war. he said the president fujen has been threatening those since the start of its invasion,
10:14 pm
but he says they do will not be detouring. health defense is not escalation. self defense is the monthly right. it isn't strange and then you, instructor ukraine has the rights on the responsibility to protect its people. and we have the rights to help ukraine uphold. it's right themselves, the fence, highest marina maroon from the worst studies department at kings college london. how ukraine might use native weapons on targets inside russia. hello brand. so from my understanding of ukraine still has a limit placed upon the ability to use those weapons. so those weapons are supposed to be used only in harkey region in or does it strike russian positions across the border. but it doesn't necessarily mean that the ukrainian forces can use as it
10:15 pm
comes to strike any military targets any further than that. so it is very limited in scope, it seems, and we don't know what kind of the fact it will have, especially as these things are being announced publicly. so russia has enough time to prepare for that. and it is this, is this the, in the, in terms of trying to win a war though? is this a good move for ukraine told you can use weapons here, but you can't use them there? well, i think that's the western political leader is trying to balance between potential escalation was russia and the how to ukraine. so it's more of a political move because restricting ukrainian military in that way is very insensible. and these are, you allow it to use against any targets on the russian territory or you don't allow it at all. but they were trying to because of this criticism they were trying to find
10:16 pm
a middle way. seeing this is the situation on the front is worsening. for the green i'm forces. so i'm in the sense, i don't think that this will essentially change the situation dramatically. do you think this improves the situation in and around partying, or will it improve the situation as well as this decision has been taken months ago, when the russians were gathering their morris, who, being or forces across the board or then it might have prevented the actual offensive or at the stall that and diminished. it's a fact. at this stage, i think that the russians will be able to pull their air defense systems into this region. they will also most likely use their electronic warfare to jam the gps signals in the or the to degrade the bringing forces capabilities. so i don't think that in, in strategic terms, it will be
10:17 pm
a huge change where we were rolled from the worst studies department at kings college london. i mean, as always, we appreciate your time in your analysis, especially on a friday. thank you. in south africa, the governing african national congress is heading for significant losses. as counting continues and parliamentary elections with over 80 percent of bugs counted, the amc has received just over 40 percent of the votes. that is a loss of around 15 percent compared to the last election. it would also leave the amc needing a coalition partner for the 1st time since free elections were held at the end of apartheid. within 30 years ago. dw is diane hawk or is covering the count from the national results entering into your hands berg. i asked her why the amc is losing this kind of support. i. yes, i am at the national results center and the picture is looking quite different for
10:18 pm
the a and see from what they are used to experiencing. as you mentioned, the current current is at a just over 70 percent of the con. the votes counted and the, the, the results for the and see last fall off at around 40 percent. just over 41 percent. part of the reason for that is some of the frustration that voters have expressed over the campaign trail. i'm speaking to voters through out the months leading up to the selection. they have indicated that they quite unhappy with the number of things as in the state of the country. for example, the country's economic situation has been in a post date for some time. the world bank, for example, is also also predicted quite low growth levels for south africa for this year. and the impact of that on south africans essentially comes to, you know, the living conditions on, not as good as they could be. a lot of south africans have not had jobs or don't have jobs around 40 percent of the working age population is unemployed. and of course,
10:19 pm
people are very frustrated with the ongoing power crisis. they've put these concepts squarely at the door of the a and c. i'm saying they should come with answers and from these results it seems like they are not happy with the responses given by the amc. that's false. so it, these results are confirmed at the a and see if no political party has an absolute majority. what would that mean? well, it will mean that political parties will have to start having coalition discussion conversations. at this point, the a and c would would have to join with one of the other big parties such as the democratic alliance, all the economic freedom fact freitas, all the new m k party. if they wanted to get over the 50 percent mark, it's difficult to say who would actually join with the agency at this point. because of course, during the campaign, everybody's been campaigning quite heavily against the amc and speaking out against
10:20 pm
the practices as well as against the policies. they are also significant ideological differences with these political parties. um, so that will also have to, to, to, to factor in to this process of coalition. they have these, the former south african president, jacob zuba. he was barred from this election. but i understand he has been playing a significant role in the results that we're seeing right behind you. tell me about that. yes, absolutely. i think the m k party, which was recently founded by a former president, jake assume a has been a major wildcard and disruptor in this election part of the reason. at 1st, the navy contextualize why he was was bod. the former president was convicted and the south african constitution doesn't allow him any one with the conviction of more than 12 months to stand for public office at
10:21 pm
a national level. that being said, people were still seem to be voting based on some support for the, for the president, jacob, too much, especially in the positive natal province where he originates from and, and where he has quite a strong political following that the party has gotten over 1200000 votes, and more than 800000 of those 1200000 votes have actually come from because they do natal province. so it's definitely a huge disruptor. and and, and then this have said that they have most likely taken some votes from the amc as well as from some of the other smaller parties and testing in the selection, dw is diane hawker with the latest from johannesburg. diane, thank you. it's loading in india's election ends tomorrow, june 1st with 1st results due next week for administrative arrange remote and who's the j. p. party are widely expected to win the 3rd term,
10:22 pm
but it is unclear whether he will gain the super majority that he wants that to achieve that he needs to boost his popularity in the south of the country. and as dw shalumi yada of reports from the capital of meal, now do janai. that is proving difficult. the state is known as the economic powerhouse of india, but remains relatively unresponsive to bodies in do nationalist message joshua con. the beef hub off to a nice city in the southern. see just tell me law, do you think this could land me in jail? in some parts of india, at least those that are leg by the building b, j. b parties. this is being housed me and i to move that is considered sacred by the majority committed deal came to this is a huge issue within the beads. if you've seen them adult and policies in north india, but children sold, these doesn't divide. in fact, in places like this,

you can do muslim. everyone comes here to eat. nobody has any restrictions on eating. this money comes in is a hindus and comes to regularly with his son to enjoy a b snack. he says, politics cannot influence people's food choices in this house. and that he put, solve the word for button, and that tells me what not to eat or the other one said he would need to decide that he ought to be in a folder in a state like them. and i do beach if he does not have the political standing, you love that to yeah. now that i don't you can look into not automatically, but not in our speed. yeah, not very common law do is noon footage diversity and social equality. it's a multi leg society, much like the northern parts of india, but differences between hindus and muslims on not politicize to you. and it's not
10:24 pm
just the religious harmony that they're protective about. this is some is what is the oldest language is in the was it's center to the identity of people in some, in nato. and there's a sense of fright attached to it. like people who appeal that it needs to be good for the state. it could impose in the language of them and whether it's the exclusion or the idea nationalism tonight is also good hobb, a balance there and $32.00 states . the highest assignment is to move the in somebody, not the actual expense, the largest number of m. p 's from the south to the indian parliament to route the voters. here he's focused on promises of economy development. in contrast to his hindu nationalist speech in the notes where his speech is, was replete between the just rhetoric. so we don't know the people in the name
10:25 pm
of religion. we don't the way people in the name of the reason we want to go into one another. we want to get more of a family member member from the lien. we want to investigate the young voters here say that be peace out of touch with the reality on the ground . it would take a major ideological shift for the party to resonate with them as i would humbly. that was the prime minister to act according to the call and susan of india. india was known for the secularism for, for its unity and all of that to give it back to stairs at a higher platform forward for people of a certain community was bringing don't opening don't people of another community? i think that's precisely why these it'd be hasn't not see if it's goal of coming into somebody not or what the vendor told for that my goal is deeply rooted in its culture and yet highly progressive. i mean, not do is a complex region,
