during the commemoration ceremony, the anniversary comes at a critical time for nations that took part. we live in the time of democracy and more risk across the world. they point since the end of world war 2, essentially beaches were storm in 1944. now we have to ask ourselves, what we stand against charity against evil guys crushing brutality of this. what we stand for freedom, we defend democracy. we stand together. my answer is yes, only can be one of the soldiers who survive the day. you see him behind me. he is the 100 year old british veteran john roberts, the dummies, one in correspondent. they are getting us. she has his store the allied

landings, normandy, the beginning of the end of nazi role. as a young marine, john rob this 4th at the front line. i have until the left on able to the right of untroubled well being bombed a lot and from where we, where the whole beach became lit up. it was like fireworks non stop for work. today the veteran is 100 years old restaurant, but then he was only 20. it was only off to the wall that he fully understood the horrors, the extent of the destruction. i saw affording loyalties to offer to think of. and yet our almost getting errors, 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 and 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 your appear nation is must stick together. at the end of world war 2, i can remember when sent you out to 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 bother to leave europe. i beg you to remain because you just as the allies stuck together against germany, back then ne, to 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 uh, my grandfather could be involved in

a wall in 6 or 8 months time. that's world war one on to everybody said this is the war to enroll to harm himself. the 2nd world war general, this is determined to remind people of them, for as long as he can or at least 30 people have been killed, dozens more wounded than it is really air strikes on a school in guns. and now that is, according to the health ministry run by a mouse, the attack had a united nation school and the city of new through israel says that it was a precise strike on a compound that was being used by him, us and islamic jihad militants, who were involved in the terror attacks on israel, on october 7th, these really military says that it took steps to reduce the chances of civilian

casualties. earlier we asked jonathan fowler a spokesperson for own right, that's the human agency that supports tell us many refugees. if there's anything it can do to make sure that almost 5 years do not use their property as well. i mean, basically, you know, you and stuff premises gentle prices have to be protected a little times that, that, that, that's the end of the story. i mean, if there are any issues with a used by anybody military use by anybody um in this war then we, we, we rise along, of course, the primary thing is we haven't, we told them about the shelter, which was sheltering 6000 displays people when it was hit and i really think that that's what we need to focus on right now. um the issue proportionality is most communitarian lorris. this is also extremely significant. some civilians over and over pain price with the lives. ready in this war and gaza on our end stuff we,

we've lost 192 of us now they've been killed in this war. and this is a number without prizes and them in the history of the much nations. so really think that's what we need to think about. it's about the fact that civilian casualties are just happening over and over and over in this war, including places of safety under the united nations. fine arts high school system basically pivots it from being in place of education to a place of shelters for, for this place. people when this will grow counts and our office invitation are warehouses. and so one of those have been used to, to provide some kind of safety to people as officer lucy's arrival. well, we're not able to get enough age into the goals the strip. um we have repeatedly colds out of breeches of the sanctity of you inside spite by both sides in this war . and we will continue to do so, or that was done as in a cellar with the human agency that supports palestinian refugees. because they

look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. spain says that it will ask a you in court for permission to join. south africa's case accusing is real of genocide and gone to spain is the 1st european country to take this step. since the south african filed the case with the international court of justice last year, the former top adviser to former us president donald trump. steve bannon has been ordered to report to prison by the 1st of july. he was found in contempt of congress. and when el survey for month prison sentence been in the fight, a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the january 6th attack on the us capital 11 must star ship major walk. it has completed its 1st full test flight after the 1st 3 attempts ended in explosions. start ship is the world's largest and most powerful rock of this marks a major milestone for the prototype system that aims one day to send humans vehicle

tomorrow. at least a 100 people, including women and children who haven't been killed in an attack on a village in sudan. local officials and activists are blaming the attack on rapids support forces. the parent military group fighting the seed in these army. they've been doing that the past year. they say that the forces attacked the village and the engine 0 state in 2 ways. the conflict between the 2 sides has killed some 15000 people. i asked issue then analyst about your interest if the or assess claim that it is acting in self defense is that claim credible as well. dollars that has said to tweak that it sees full vehicle custody calls. however, there is no proof. however, what we have see is video evidence of the iris at fighting around the shooting to begins and it's not possible they were defending themselves as they invaded in december 2023. they were the aggressive initial reports this morning has

confirmed that they have attacked again in the village were just yesterday, over a 100 people have been killed 29 of those have be conserved with they made. currently right now, the iris has had the markets and have setup checkpoints around the village and within the village, however, reports from survivors has stated how the recess used, heavy machinery, heavy heavy weaponry to essentially shred the bodies of the civilians within the village. that was about your interest there. speaking with me earlier. well, how does it go into the polls in the netherlands kicking off the european union elections the next 4 days across all 27 members of the you. the bells are expected to deliver significant gains for the far right in several countries. results from these 4 days of voting are due on sunday evening, as one vote cost these people the names to them as some of the 1st of the

nearly 400000000 people in the u to place the ballots over the next 4 days in the european elections, most important for me is the economy and the difference between the rich and the board, the of the in that you know, it's well the entire and then for me is most important. i think think pen european mets are so climate change and immigration matters. so i think it's very important to foods, jobs, climate change, health security, migration, a recent euro barometer studies show. these are indeed the most important voting topics for people across the whole of the u. vs here in the netherlands, have been doing lots of docs and the last few years, just 6 months ago, that was a national election. we saw the fall right party with the most seats for the 1st

time in does history, and not to expect it to be replicated again in this european parliament selections . in fact, the far right is expected to make gains across the u. in. the netherlands gets 31 seats in the european parliament. there is $720.00 in total. for 27, e u member countries. post the save the size of the elections come make it complicated to predict the result. once lights, it is very difficult to bring together all the data from $27.00 member states into one projection to understand how the european parliament will look like. we will most likely on sunday and monday understand how the european parliament will look like in the future. until then we have to deal with about 15000 candidates, 600 different lists and individual candidates across europe, and about 200 to 10 parties that will enter the european parliament. these european elections will also be judged on how many pallets a cost vote, a ton i is stopping the low normally, at the arrived 50 percent. most of you countries will vote at the weekend, and

a clear picture will only a much one's own. the results delivered that was our correspond to jack period. they are following that reports and he told us more about the possible swing to the right in these selections and the key issues for voters in the netherlands. what's really interesting here in the netherlands is that off, and the reason that the far right is actually doing quite well is because it's this push back again, some of the laws that have been brought in over the last few years. so for instance, there's a big farming community here in the netherlands that has been hit hard. they say by the green laws that have been brought in over the last few years and they've pushed the european union to have some of them. why impact nights the far right policy under get billed as the sweat to the most seats in november, the national elections, they say that they will push back against those greenville was also that they will for tactics. the evidence from migration, the new migration deal was signed and agreed on by the governments of the european

union just a few months ago. so that is something that voters all voting for interestingly here in this sort of metropolitan city of items that on a lot of the people, the i spoke to a most concerned about the greek different climate change about green issues and a voting based on not probably opposed to what you would see in the farm land of the netherlands once you leave the big cities dw object to exit, reporting from understood on your what you need to be doing is here's a reminder of our top stories. the leaders of the united states, germany and france, have led ceremonies, marketing 80th, anniversary of d day, the honor to survive the veterans and recall the huge sacrifices made by allied forces to liberate western europe from nazi germany. and at least 30 people have been killed and dozens wounded in its really years drive on a school run by the united nations in gaza. israel says many of the dead were abbas
