these side talks have hit the same style night that all previous iterations of sci fi talks of hit and that is all around this, this possibility of a permanent se, saw, i'm not saying that they will not enter into any agreement that doesn't include a route to a permanent safe spot. israel for their pot, saying that they would not enter into tools that would lead to a permanent sci fi without concluding the amulet tree ames to completely dismantle him off and have all the hostages returned. although of course, that is part of the ceasefire agreement. now addiction officials have just told the reuters news agency today that there's no indication of any event. and breakthroughs in these talks, they are ongoing and cots are and they're being taken pop by the egypt, the categories and us officials. but there's a no breakthroughs, despite huge international pressure just today. the us and 16 other nations have of issued a joint statement cooling on both sides to, to agree to, to, to make the final steps in order to be able to make some kind of agreement. but at

the moment, it seems that that sticking point of a permanent se site is just too far away from both sides to be able to agree to rebecca think so much. that's the w 's. rebecca rich has reporting from jerusalem. let's take a look now. some of the other stories making news around the world and then acts of this committee. and so don says at least 100 people have died in an attack on a southeastern village, the pro democracy, my donnie resistance committee, said the rapid support forces struck the village into 0 state on wednesday. well then, a year of will 5 between the recess and saddam's army has claimed some 15000 lives . spain says it will oscar u. n. courts the commission to join south africa's case accusing israel of genocide and goal is the same as the 1st european country to take the step. since south africa filed the case with the international court of justice. last year,

the kremlin credit union of all naya has been presented with the dw freedom of speech award, receiving the award and event invalid novelle, naya, who is the widow of the late russian opposition. leda alexei, nevada. and they said the work of that and see corruption foundation would continue despite the husband's death. and the russian president vladimir person has wound berlin about ukraine using german weapons on target inside russia. instead, it was not a dangerous staff and ruined relations between violent and most go. gemini, recently joined the us and authorizing ukraine to hit some targets when russell territory was a long range weapons that they are supplying. so you can sort of events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the day underway in front of us president joe biden and french president and manually ma coolant taking pause in the main ceremony. remembering june, the 6th 1944. that is when thousands of allied soldiers came a shall alone and ac,

kill them into a stretch of the normandy coastline to begin the liberation of western europe from nazi germany. it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. one of the soldiers who survived the ordeal is the british veteran john roberts, the company's london correspondents are getting off reports now on his story. the allied landings in normandy, the beginning of the end of nazi rules. as a young marine john rob this 4th at the front line. i have a to the left, unable to the right love and trouble well being bombed a lot. and from where we, where the whole beach became lit up. it was like fireworks non stop 5 work today. the veteran is 100 years old restaurant, but then he was only 20. it was only after the war that he fully understood the

horrors, the extent of the destruction. i saw a forwarding lot of these other 2 to over to think of and yet i'll go to almost getting married again. the images of disruption from ukraine for the veteran. they are terribly similar to those from his use from the 2nd world war. he is convinced that close cooperation with the nato has saved europe from war in recent decades. john robot stuffed in the navy for almost full decades. most recently as re admiral working closely with other nato troops. to my mind, nato is the most important thing that we have uh your appeal nations must stick together at the end of world war 2. i can remember when to send you out your omega, your speech and saying that the savior of the or in the future will be for it to be

together. and that's why i did not, but to leave your up. i beg you to remain because it was just as the allies stuck together against germany back then ne 2 and you must be strong and to the best account a russia today says john roberts. so that's an escalation like 80 years ago can be avoided. i think it's terrible that my grandson could be involved in a wall in 6 or 8 months time for 12 or one on 2. everybody said this is the water land roll to harm himself. the 2nd world war john roberts is determined to remind people of them, for as long as he can t w's. sonya found the car is in the city is caught in norman's e and i asked her what the atmosphere is like that with the d day come memory.

sions now underway of what it feels very festive here. um on the uh, there are lots of, uh, british us canadian flags fluttering everywhere. um, even um, you know, apart from the kind of officially the big ceremony is that a lots of smaller events like breeds and historical react. reenactments events which are taking place in, in villages and towns across nobody. there is a huge security presence here of the french of deployed more than $40000.00 police officers. and um, a troops and all this week across some of them do to make sure the settlement before off smoothly. but you know, this is also quite a from the moment because many of the ceremonies, of course, are taking place at the, you know, war symmetries at memorial. the canadians are holding their own kind of settled with the state to another. one of the biggest of goals is in the american symmetry which contains about $10000.00 grades. and another highlight today of course, is this afternoon where they would be able to get into the actual instead of many

of the amount how beach besides it over by uh, fridge best and my cool uh, the omaha b to force is one of the 5 lending beaches with allied forces, game shore, american forces, and particular feast of very heavy losses as became under german file. and macro is the no set to host the leaders of course of, of the us, britain and canada bay. but also hopefully those of countries other countries of participated in the d. d landings. countries like australia, bedroom. uh no, we denmark a for them to big, just a few. okay, and we're seeing life pictures now of the us and french leaders, president present my phone welcoming president biden. and sonya how to people in from see what's happening today. see that the de landing and the combination the what i think for the front of the dd landings occupies a slightly more complicated place. and that's remembering if i can, if i can see that. you know, obviously this is location for,

for on students to say thank you to a of sources that is a huge outputting of gratitude in sweeten woods. i like forces for you to liberate them from german occupation. but some recent days, you know, um, frankly, does have also been paying tribute to that one resistance fighters provided help and intelligence to allied forces who got adults sabotage operations. many of them sometimes you know, will betrayed by french civilians collaborating with the nazis. many of them executed the germans and frenchie those including the best and micro was also been paying tribute to civilians who, who died in normandy about. 20000 civilians were killed for the battle if during the battle of normandy, mainly as a result of allied, bombardments and you know, i am in the town this call about to to a one 3rd of his tone was completely flattened by light bulbs. yes, the best of my girl was in the tone of follow. uh, which was you know, where 600 people were killed when i like mom's landed on the stone, which was a headquarters, but tell them what, what division, jordan,

of all types. so i think for the french, this is also an occasion to kind of recognize what french officials often described as the morality of memories around the detail. and of course, the most on a guess will be the surviving vest friends around 2. hundreds of them would tell us what that ceremony will look like the will. i think this is what makes today's commemoration. especially pointed into the presence of about 200, which means mainly from the us. uh, brick and, and canada. a few from, from some other countries. and this is really kind of a moving because, you know, the numbers are dwindling. many of them rather than a bunch of age and, and they would simply not be at all, and for very long to, to kind of of, you know, fossil him there because all of the, the lightnings to, to younger generations. they are the last witnesses of the war, and that accounts us as seen as burning falls to him, the testimony of the scene as really important to him as instructive. i'm m m c

disability chosen history here. all right, we'll have to leave it the the don't use the correspondence on you found the income in normandy. sonya, thank you so much for that. you are watching the news live from the island coming up next style documentary examining whether european politics are shifting to the rights to chrome so that if you can, we're going to leave you now with pictures from salt lake city in the us. that is where a 2 year old block that pulls quite to stop by entering a residential neighborhood and climbing a tree, the best of an adventure was cut short. however, when a trunk flies adults caused him to slip and fall. he wasn't badly hot and he has now been set free in the wild. take the

we are all set and we are watching to see him to bring you the story behind the new will on about com, biased information for free might say due to me in the the.
