melissa chance, thanks for joining us. israel has damp and hopes for peace in gaza, saying the country would still pursue the war until it had reached all its aims. it comes hours after us president joe biden presented a proposal for a permanent c spar in gaza. biden's as the plan was put forward by israel, it would unfold and 3 phases and assure the return of his really hostages and the reconstruction of gaza. tomas has released the statement saying it views the proposal. quote, positively biden has urged both sides to accept the deal. this is truly a decisive moment. is made their proposal. law says it wants to cease fire. this do is an opportunity to improve whether they really need the

mouse needs to take the deal. i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for an award to continue indefinitely. saw summer, even in the government coalition. i ask you to take a step back and think what will happen if this moment is lost? you can't lose this moment. it's time to begin this new stage of hostages to come home for israel to be secure, the suffering to stop. it's time for this war 2, and let's take a look at the proposal in more detail. president binds, said that in a 1st phase, lasting 6 weeks. israel and tomas would enter a full and complete spire is really forces would withdraw from populated areas of gaza. mosse would release a number of hostages, including the elderly women and the wounded. in exchange israel with release hundreds of palestinian detainees,

humanitarian aid for gaza would search at this point with at least $600.00 trucks being allowed into gaza each day. in the proposal. second phase of moss would release all remaining living hostages. including mail is really soldiers. all hostilities would end and is really forces would fully withdraw from gaza. once the steps have been accomplished from us would hand over the remains of all the dead hostages. it's still holding rubble and gaza cities with then be cleared and reconstruction of the territory backed by the us. europe and international institutions would begin to for more on this, i'm joined by dw middle east analyst a shiny. rosanna shiny joe biden presented these proposals. what they're supposed to be from israel. so why is it coming from washington and not israel, because he's frustrated to button his price, right? because there's been a lot of these back and forth. and this deal has been floating for awhile, but nothing is really moving. he feels i gave his real the backend even to go into off the high paid prices for that politically. and now i want to see what's

happening next week. he doesn't feel like the is really are pushing strong enough for the next thing, garza and he wants to encourage a dialogue. a public debate with in these really society wants to support the moderate and centrist, you know, in the hostages family, to try and bring forth a more open dialogue on what is on the table. and what is real might be given up if it's not, you know, willing to go more seriously into finalizing this. very deal and how, how have israel and tomas reacted. so it's crucial. we need to remember there's a 3rd party, a very crucial party here. the hum us and they said officially after biden's speech to the positively open to that and for any discussion, it seems like the way it come us, you know what, let's put on the table that the deal that we buy it and put it out. seems to be giving him also level of what they wanted and mostly the demand that they have has all along is to, for his real, to agree on, on, completely sees, you know, of all, uh, hostilities were basically announcing this is the end of,

of fighting. and this is exactly because to the is really response because this is exactly what is really, is opposing, you know, and it's, and you always said in a, in a statement after the biden administration issue, we have been willing to show some flexibility this plan in many ways is something that we're standing behind, however, we're not gonna stop the war until we achieved our goals. these goals too, of course, nearly to come us and bringing back the hostages. so the americans proposal is based a lot of things have to stop the sides and the, the mediators, katrina egypt has been, you know, a lot of draft has been going back and forth. but the bit of an embellish, middle, a dash of may be wishful thinking. that biden has brought him through this process, and this is exactly where we stand. the court issue is still not resolved. the americans hope that once things get going, the momentum for itself will maybe help these problems to get resolved. there's been a lot of hope and false hopes on the i keep asking you this question, but are we stuck again? are we any closer to the end of this round of the conflict it's, it's hard to say,

i think by it, in hopes this will start some sort of a very vigorous process within these really society, political one, at least that will maybe put more pressure on it to now come on, it's on the other side, they recognize as the weakness of mentioned y'all, when in the international arena, in the political arena, i'm not sure they're so eager to show a lot of flexibility. we will have to see in the next phase if this really, if the american push for it is and carter seems to be very much engaged egypt. and if we made the manage just to bring some, some change to the static, completely tragic situation. it's to, it's still too soon to tell. i'm afraid, shiny was on us. thanks for joining us in the studio. look. germany has authorized ukraine to use weapons supplied by berlin to strike limited military targets inside russia and marks the policy shift and follows a similar us decision to allow ukraine to use american weapons on targets on russian soil. the loser restrictions only applied to the eastern harkey region

where you create is struggling to hold off rushes, latest advances, and this is what remains of the town of both john skin, ukraine's harkey for region. ukrainian troops has been fighting here for weeks trying to hold back for lands, least russian attacks. many now believe they have a better chance to do so. germany, it has become the latest need to country to allow kids to use weapons supplied by berlin for limited strikes inside russia. the, let's go from the front in reason we expression has prepared, coordinated and carried out attacked from positions in the hark is area. in particular, from the directly adjacent prussian border region to merge them together, we're convinced that ukraine has the right under international law to defend itself against these attacks. young german is decision follows a similar one from the us. american supply weapons can now be used to come to russian attacks near the heart region and ask the authorization

to their various rational guess fresh forces that are asking for is going to do what we've been doing as necessary adjust the key if has well comes in use but it's unclear how it will impact the situation on the ground. 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 where it is a strike russian positions across the board are. but it doesn't necessarily mean that the ukrainian forces can use as it 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 a fact it will have, especially as these things are being announced publicly. so russia has enough time to prepare for that. russia has denounced the decision accuse and need to of deliberately provoking a new level of escalation. therefore, there was a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. united nations as warning of an imminent risk of famine in sudan. the agency says the civil war has left some 18000000 people acutely hungry and nearly 4000000 children a to me, malnourished, fighting between students, army and paramilitary groups, broke out in april of last year. tell up on officials in afghanistan say at least 20 people were killed when a boat thank while crossing

a river in the east children are among the dead. villages are trying to retrieve the bodies 5 people survived. it's on clear what caused the boat to sink. heavy rains and flooding have hit parts of southern germany, water levels in the states of of area and bottom version berg. i rising prompting evacuations. in some areas, the heavy rain is set to persist over the weekend. in thailand is celebrating pride month with a parade in the capital bank. hawk thousands from the eligibility to plus community are on the streets to mark the occasion. thailand is on course to become the 1st nation in southeast asia to legalize the same sex marriage this year. in south africa, the party that held a majority for the last 30 years and free the nation from apartheid has now lost its grip on power. with nearly all ballots counted the willing amc has received 40

percent of votes losing nearly a 3rd of its support. since the last election, they will now need coalition partners to form a government, south africa's biggest opposition party. the democratic alliance has received around 21 percent of both. the m. k party founded just months ago by former president jacob juma came in 3rd. earlier we spoke with our correspondent diane hawker into hattiesburg, who is at the national results center. we after what has led to the drop in support for the ruling amc party as well. now we into, i think we have very active political period of negotiations. we've seen a number of political part indeed as arrive here at the national results center. and i spoke to the agencies of national cheapest and quite a montage. it. he said that the amc is talking to all parties in an attempt to find those that they can form a government with. we also heard from the economic freedom fighters while the 4th

largest party in this election. and they said that they are willing to talk to the a and c, so it looks like they will be some very important discussions. taking place over the next few days to form. that's government government. now the constitution gives the parties 14 days within which to form a government off to the results are announced. so we're expecting that the conversations will be quite intensive, but also they will have to be quite quickly wrapped up. now i want to look at jacobs dumas and k party that 3rd major player. how much are they a disruptor in these elections? they've definitely turned out to be quite a major disruptive considering that the potty was formed just 6 months ago. and they were able to move from basically 0 to 3rd place in this election. now indications all that the support has come very much from of the amc strong whole

such as was with natal and employ mulanda. they don't have as much of a national footprint as some of the other parties. but, you know, the amount of votes that they've gotten thus far is best thing to be lost and they will be a serious party to consider when it comes to these negotiations. taking place over the next few days, the m. k party has said however, that isn't willing to speak to the amc to join the coalition. if the amc is still laid by president. so around my posts. so it will mean that those negotiations will be quite 10, so i think and we'll have to see if they and reach some kind of agreement to create a government in south africa, dw corresponded diane hawker in johannesburg. thank you very much. sweden has honored to members of the iconic pop group, awarding the night. could see the musicians behind hits like dancing queen. all 4
