the, the, the, the winners long from berlin, benjamin netanyahu dissolved his war cabinet. the decision follows the resignation earlier this month of central national unity and party leader of any guns. these really war cabinet was formed shortly after the october 7th terror attacks by also coming as russia parades. it's nuclear hardware, attentions over ukraine. and new report says rival nations are ramping up spending on atomic weapons. the

i'm the call for like it's great to have you with us. and it's really official says that prime minister benjamin netanyahu has dissolved israel's war cabinets that's after minister benny guns and his national unity party, quit the government on june 9th. the move comes as israel continues its military operations in the gaza strip. israel's army has said it would implement a daily tactical pause, as it calls it along a road in southern gaza to allow a delivery through the key care him shall long border crossing. the united nations has welcomed the announcement but said more needs to be done. children are among those with the greatest news. the world health organization said over a 1000 children under 5 have been diagnosed or treated for acute and all nutrition . 1600 of them are classified as severe, as well as not having enough food. agencies say children lack access to sufficient health care and are living in

a constant state of things. james elder is a spokes person for the united nations children's agency, eunice asking joined us from rossa in southern gaza earlier and told us how the humanitarian situation has evolved there in the last months. look, it's gotten so much worse. no one should be surprised by that since march. those same children have had to 3 more months of relentless, bombardments every not as it before as we were getting this sorted out over there at the bottom. and see now last night the night before. if it's not bombardments, it's drones, either attack drones or drones that are like a low mile or in your head. this continues to go on. i, the great fear is that it's a normalized, there is nothing normal about children being deprived. so there's nothing normal about thousands of children being bone. there's certainly nothing normal about the constant fee of the people living. so people now physically and psychologically shifted, they worried much, somehow they've held on, but they are literally now just holding on with a die like a water with nutrition,

consistent denials of light and ongoing indiscriminate, indiscriminate attacks. i've just come back from the hospital again, st. children with liam is missing with our, with, with, with uh, that being made line in the last few days while sleeping in the home. it's $250.00 days. that's how things are compared to march. and thousands of children are also suffering from acute malnutrition. now that's according to the w h o. do you believe these 11, our tactical pauses at the is really military has a now so will do much to remedy the situation. any polls in bombing is good news for children. they haven't seen it. i haven't heard it's todd to explain what it's lot must be like for jobs for this relentless bombardment. i'm a, as a mother said to me in march where they thought they were going to get a safe spot to not is it not? i can promise my child, she will wake up tomorrow morning. that's these 5 to us didn't happen that that hope was bombed away. so many polls is good. there's

a lot more to be saying. we bought these millions, which is one crossing. it's about getting some id and we need to get more id and yes, but then we need to get that. i've sites across the gallons and strip that is the responsibility of the occupying power. it is a very difficult, it is very dangerous place to divide. so we have to say it's, there was a lot of law yet to be saying right now, there is a, you know, we need to see evidence on the ground, not mo, statements. we need to see evidence as to whether this woman smooth the foster site for delivery. and i the, the clearest way to do that with not just be with a pause or a strategic strategic pause would be with more crossings argument. in fact, we've seen them close wrap up rather in the south is the humanitarian lifeline. cuz you mandatory and agencies for a coming in. we've seen half as many trucks in my as april top as many out of time with the need is skyrocketing. we've seen houses many because may have cost was the offensive, and russell, the so called quote unquote,

limited offensive the limits it offensive that led to a 1000000 more people being display. so we need more crossings with a much safe environment. so it's a step, but it's a very baby step and it's only been around for a day. i'm not exactly sure on the spice, but it's been bombarded in the last couple of hours nearby where i am at least in raffle. yeah, the fact that the situation on the ground is growing increasingly desperate. what does it mean for you and assess ability to carry out its task? but this is a really difficult place to offer. i would say more united nations colleagues chill she a than in any role since world war 2. and this is 8 months on now. but this is one of my colleagues due to their frontline respondents, whether it's eunice, whether it's phone or the backbone of an idle operation, w h o w a. these are from on work is where the word of dentist on syria human, you're crying. this is what people do, but it's very difficult. i was on a convoy on wednesday to go to the north with a truck of medical, a nutritional supplies 410000 children, critical loss savings supplies was about

a 25 mile 40 kilometer journey. it took surgery and out with all the paperwork it took, searching now is it in the in that truck was denied based on that it was meant to be a van motor closed truck out rule the inspections. it was denied. those 10000 children did not get that. i that we will return. we will go again, but it's not as simple as going the next day. the just given how to address these operating of armies. we need ahmed vehicles for every comb void. so that's 10000 children, we've got a very wide mandate. unicef is water. it's sanitation, it's tense because so many families of, of that home we want stops, but we need, we need is route to facilitate enabled us to do our work for the civilian. so again, just holding on it, you say that people live in constant fear, understandably so. what psychological impact are you seeing on children and their parents as a weird and uncharted territory? there is no doubt. there is every single child in the gaza strip. ne,

some sort of mental health care. i don't really know, but it's job. everyone would know once to leave the home. but if your home gets destroyed and 2 thirds of houses and buildings here have been damaged or destroyed, i've never seen this devastation is post apocalyptic tooth. the if your home gets ball and of course you just want to lead you want to get as far away from the constant threat of me solve some problems as you can. you cannot hear children. can notice skype. that's yeah. so this out, it's constant sound of drones and bombs, and of course the deprivation and even just your child to look into that pair his eyes and now to know that your mom or dad cannot protect you is a terrifying thing. i've had more than a handful of young people this past week side of me. i have nothing left. i hope i miss all hits much and i'm done. that's the mental health of children who have a very young generation who, you know, with opportunities and education and the labor market. you know, it's a young population is the envy of, of aging countries,

but not with the conditions. these children are forced to live through. you and assess spokesperson james elder and ralph. i. james, thank you so much for your time. and please try to be safe. thanks your call. as rush rams up nuclear threats and at the war and ukraine, there's been a search and spending a long nuclear arms states on weapons of mass destruction still comb. international peace research institute has released a report warning nuclear weapons, having placed such a prominent role in global relations since the cold war. russia and this allied bella roost carried out more nuclear drills this month. the exercises were designed to discourage western support for ukraine and a separate report. the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons icon says there was a $10000000000.00 increase in global spending on nuclear weapons last year. i deb smith is the director of the stock home international piece research institute

. and i asked him how all that money spent on nuclear weapons could be put to better use. i mean, i think the difficulty is deciding among so many important priorities. we have an ecological crisis which bodily needs money. we have a green transition that we need to invest in. the development spending is under pressure. i'm going down. there are increasing calls for humanitarian funds to be available. numerous countries in western europe as well as in the developing world, need more infrastructure, spending their prices and health provision in education. there, there are so many cool is up on the, on the available resources that we have. that's it really is striking that so much money seems to be so easily available for weapons of mass destruction compared to

how much is available for ordinary citizens. why the fact that let's look at the situation at hand right now. then since russia's war in ukraine, there's been less transparency over nuclear development. that's another finding of your report. where does that put us in terms of monitoring and control of weapons of mass destruction? what goods this in a very difficult place, and it also puts us in a difficult place because arms control between the us and russia on nuclear weapons has more or less collapsed. russia has suspended his participation in the strategic control agreement, and then you stop traits here which came into force and originally and from frontier 11. so we, we have much less transparency. we're very clear in the report that we present these figures. our estimates we believe in them quite strongly, we are confident about them, but we have not been able to, no one has been able to count the weapons one by one. so there's a large factor of estimation and,

and that of course is what are you and things could be going on. we do not know about that was dan smith, the director of the still com, international piece research institute. thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us today. thank you. thank you very much. the china now we're millions of people are trying to cope with 2 types of extreme weather. flooding from heavy rains has killed at least 4 people and forced tens of thousands to evacuate in the south. the north, meanwhile, is suffering through a heat wave that's raising fairs of a drought. another sweltering day in northern china here in the capital badging residents or adapted finding ways to beat the heat was built for the dining. we where things like net, gators, you know, otherwise when we get sunburned, actually i already got sunburn because you can see on my skin anyways,

with paintings, whether you're either going to get scores, you know, with or suffocated. most of there's only those 2 options. so meanwhile, much of southern china has been dealing with torrential rain full in food john province. days of heavy rains triggered land, slide trapping, and passing truck to at least 4 people have died with a further to reported missing large parts of food. yon were under water on the weekend. as river level surged, forcing authorities to evacuate. tens of thousands of people. you're going to shoot an invoice in john g province from sea, on which has many urban areas and city streets where abortion water. elsewhere in the grand g region, rescue teams were hard at work, bringing people to safety. as countless homes and villages were inundated, as the chinese government has issued repeated calls to step up preparedness in anticipation of more severe weather. heavy rain is expected to continue in the

table with ship is throw safe in stones 3 concrete pools symbolizing medieval in the mina valley. located just outside is lambs, wholly, a city of mika. many customs take place out doors and on foot. a challenge and temperatures of 45 degrees or more. but that other fact hodge is a difficult task. so you have to exec effort and perform the rituals even in the heat and crowding you use an umbrella drink water and put it onto your body to prevent dehydration. and the water spring causing the walkways help. my mother, i brought it up. besides, saudi arabia has sees up climate controlled areas to help manage the hate with officials distributing vasa to keep people cold. the house just one of the 5 basic obligations of being muslim. every believer who has the mains is encouraged to

perform the pilgrimage, at least once and the lifetime. and that's all from the news for now, and next will be taking a deep expedition to the pacific. stay tuned for that. i'll be back with more at the top of the next hour by the coming 0, st. excel's 3 trans people, stories each kind items that feed us complex doors. sometimes when he saw a voltage chip possession of the 3 generations, one journey starts july 7th on dw, the the in the mid.
