the the, this is dw news live from balance. the impulse virus is spreading from africa to other continents. the new cases detected in sweden and pockets stop the wells health organization says the outbreak will likely continue to spread. it's called in full vigilance, but also telling countries not to close. the board is also coming up to a set of possible cease fire and gaza resuming cup top protesters. and these are all put pressure on the government to surprise a hostage deal with how much i think cause of the death toll continues to rise. it has now passed $14000.00 palestinian civilians and fights and the
4:01 pm
south eastern europe assess. the damage from reasoning was 5 new research shows. all 5 seasons becoming more extreme and more wide spread around the world. the gulf as welcome to the program. more cases of impacts being detected around the world as the virus continues to spread pockets sonnus the latest country to identify a patient. health authorities said the man have to travel to the middle east, although it's unclear which n polk strain was fine. meanwhile, china has become monitoring people and goods entering the country. sweden was the 1st country to confirm the case of the new deadliest drain outside after, as well as health organization has declared a global public health emergency with more than 500 steps. so far this year,
4:02 pm
about the w h o n, the international federation of the red cross recommending that countries do not close the borders. and from the side, we do stand with what is recommended under international health regulations, which is that there's no need to close borders when we are in disease outbreaks, diseases don't recognize borders. people will continue to cross the border, whether it is a legal crossing or a not an illegal crossing. it doesn't stop a disease from spreading topic. yes of age speaks for the health organization who joins as a from geneva to we had the closing board as does apparently not stop a disease from spreading. but can you explain why it wouldn't limit the rate of infection, especially if papa check stub being paid as well. uh, as we have heard from the quoted from uh, i have far see uh uh, and we know from different experience and we have a serious, i'm calling 19 going through the closing the borders is not going to stop the stop the virus. and this is a different virus from, let's say, code 19,
4:03 pm
because this virus is being transmitted through very close team to key a carpet. this can also be acquired by contacting, going back to the or to expect its services. but it's really primarily trust me to throw scheme to scheme comp and not stuff. it's not that they're going virus as, as coverage 19 was so so, so we just need to make sure that we know what he's infected and make sure that this person does not, in fact people around. and this is why we have called for the increased vigilance to be on our alert for any possible cases to have testing ready to test people when we have suspicion to look out for symptoms of ethics. and was if there was a case being conducted by to make sure to, to the person against the necessary clinical care act, to make sure this person is what's infecting people around now, 2 years ago,
4:04 pm
the w h o also be glad a public health emergency over an outbreak of impulse in which why is this one different or broadly there are 2 clays of post clay and one and close to the global out rate of happened. $2223.00 was, was a driven by claim to that is a less senior year. and that was primarily being transmitted through a, a sexual rooms that the case is a number of cases dropped down and released at their emergency. the peer talking about clay dwanda is a be circulating in africa and they are from the previous years. but the scale of the, of the, of the outbreak of this year is congress adaptive. and in addition to that, there is a new substrate of place. why that seems to be spreading foster care for countries that have reported cases the neighboring countries of the congo just in the past couple of weeks. so it's a, it's a new strain. we still don't know. it's if it's more severe than the claims while
4:05 pm
regional was, but we have to really look, look uh on, on a being ready. and that's why we are fully really do this international cooperation . we are triggering mechanisms, a full procurement of about seas. and we are really making assessing countries, say look to be on the lookout so, so we can, we can collectively stop transmission chains of time. i'm sure people take measures as an individual level like we did during coven. so this is, again, this is very different buyers. this virus is not spread through droplets of air, so. busy it's spread through skin to skin contact so, so i think anybody's if one of the country's a health systems 1st before uh strong enough to be able to, to, to, to, to monitor and to see if there are any possible cases. if there are people with the symptoms and symptoms are quite to, uh, quite visible for folks. uh, it says skita rushing. so lesion on faces or face on genet. dalia is people come
4:06 pm
with those of those symptoms. they should be immediately tested and then basically provided that supports care and make sure that they don't have a close contact with the other people. so you know, way we don't expect ethics to spread unless there are some limitations. obviously we never know. but at this page, a books viruses as a, as pretty only to a very close contact. can you define this very close contact for all of us? what do i need to do to get infected as well? what we have seen the about 20 to 20 free outbreak. it was really primarily through sexual intercourse. and it was in a specific session, sexual mentors, man having sex with math, but played one is different. we see lots of children who are being affected by being in a close contact to be that we do with their family members. so not to a, not necessarily true to sexual root, but just the skin to skin contact. so it's really just to get from the public to
4:07 pm
perspective. most of these passages should be looked at in the same way. we need to know the version of viruses and we need to know who is infected and then basically make sure that this person does not, in fact out us. and for that, we need strong surveillance. we need strong laboratory equipment, the heading of how to workforce. ok, we can do a little people should just pull in the advice of a of, of their how to well, thirty's, and really to do it. but the most important thing is do we know where the viruses and this is what's reading done yesterday. being very quick in the end of the detecting the case and making sure that the person is taken care of and making sure that there is no longer a transmission topic. joshua rivers, that with the world health organization in geneva, thank you very much. thank is the united states is urgent is are on how most to be ready to compromise, as talks on the possible ceasefire and gaza. enter the 2nd day international media
4:08 pm
to the so again, meeting of the accounts are a capital. doha, although how mazda is not participating, both israel and thomas have accused each other of adding new dom ons to the terms of the deal, which has been approved by the you and the security council. the goal is a health industry which is controlled by home. us says the desktop from the conflict has now so passed. $40000.00 civilians and fights is the hum us october 7th. terror attacks kills more than 1200 people in the as well. of the golf state of katara is where a mediator is trying to negotiate a ceasefire in gaza. it's also with some palestinians are being treated for severe injuries from that war. did that be a special correspondence at abraham was in doha, where she met with palestinian medical you've actually use and saw the told the fighting has taken on the gaza strips most vulnerable and a warning to view as uh,
4:09 pm
report contains graphic and disturbing images. many ways, 9 year old, my mood is like a new child. his age enjoys playing with his father and beating his younger siblings at video games. during those moments. he's a happy boy. alex, let's play, i am kind of genuine. then i am patient. i can take a lot time or time like like him as you everything and sometimes if out of nowhere, when he has gone through over comes him. his mother tells the story. my mood can not. it seems to me with the assignments, mood line face down just had was moving and he was breathing, but his ride was not there and his left arm was completely crushed and he told me mom, do take my sister and go, i will be murdered. i told him no my loss. i would never leave you. he fell from my
4:10 pm
arms twice. i could not carry an actual machine that was back in december. but what's mother tells me the family were shooting is really calls to be the northern parts of the gaza strip. then it is really rocket landed near my home . and when i came into days after this trying because of the anastasia and fever, he was coming in and out of consciousness. he was hallucinating when he woke up and he would look at himself and ask me where my hands. why am i like this one? and he would cry. i could not make him stop, so i would cry with him. after the injury he became like a baby again. he needed help with everything along slowly but surely would it's recovering cute and caught that along with more than 2000 other evacuees from god's us. most of them are women and children, maybe half serious injuries, initially built to house football world cup fans. this compound is mountain
4:11 pm
microcosm is human suffering caused by what israel says is justified to protect its people. everyone here has a story of loss and tragedy. in november, how much his wife and 2 of their children were on their way to a market and gaza when they were hit by is really air strike. he tells me this video. he says, shows the aftermath of the attack. the boy being carried away is his youngest. perhaps the woman lying in the background as his wife had lost his leg. his wife died in the hospital because it couldn't do she was everything the the, the, it was life. but thank god she left me the children and then he was civilians walking down the street on lives. all we ever
4:12 pm
asked for from god. what's protection on special has a little his son is getting treatment. he misses his mother and his siblings. some of whom are still trapped in gaza, getting the family back together. it's all that mohammed can think about. but so far, all his attempts failed us for a little more. in one sense, he's the luckiest of lucky. she was able to get out with his siblings and both of his parents. it's a big reason why they say he's having mostly good days, but the memories of his home now a pile of troubles are always with him. that would do now the day i'm used to being in my country. i'm playing with my friends and the thing with my cousins and i have, i loved what i loved the most was playing with my cousins. i loved him. i have no cause that i've done the best kind of even read bicycles together. he would play
4:13 pm
soccer together, we would go swimming and we were happy and also playing gay. if high we have some good ones. nothing more than to be able to return home one day. but the cause of his childhood no longer and we have a case he hurried to on the line with us. now she heads up safe. the children's team in the gaza strip and she thought drawing those now from dallas. i'm a casey, we understand. no one is immune from the facts of war. but why is this conference having such a disproportionate impact on children? the 1st my heart goes out to the families that you just featured, but they've been through what they're suffering. and as you said in a little way, they are the lucky ones. they've gotten out there somewhere, stays over 14000 children, have been killed in airstrikes in this conflict as
4:14 pm
a direct impact of the work. we know that children are 7 times more likely to die in these blasts because their bodies are smaller. they're thrown farther faster. their bones bend, so they are more susceptible in these strikes. we also know that there are an estimated 1000 children living still in gaza. they have lost them and so they are still here at the threat of additional attacks. there's newer states for them to go . and they're trying to survive in a nearly impossible situation for children that haven't been caught up in the direct attacks. they're susceptible to disease. we're seeing tens of thousands that have died from the secondary impacts. and those were from the collapse of infrastructure. and the fact that there are no vaccines that are not clinics, and they can't access the most basic service. now be on the um a cx. 5 deal was all children in a garza in need of. most right now,
4:15 pm
we need a definitive see fire. we need the bonds to stop falling. we need air strikes to stop, even in the so called safe zone. we're seeing targeted strikes. so there really is no words saves me, need a definitive ceasefire without we also we have suppliers, trucks haven't been able to come across the border at the same volume since before the work. we don't have enough basic hygiene supplies. there isn't enough. so people can't speak saying they can't eat sufficient food. nutrition is a significant problem. there's not enough fresh food, there's nothing to meet sooner. eating diets that can just largely as sort of sugary so we needed supplies to be able to come across the border. in addition to the 360 fire and we need those that have been involved in this work to be held accountable for the options here. do you, are you still able to save the children still able to fulfill its mission in gaza? we are doing everything we can,
4:16 pm
but it is getting harder and harder by the day just in the last week. this will be their so called st zone here, decreased by 20 percent. today there were additional activation orders that were squeezed into an even smaller space to try to operate and for team, they are committed to be measuring mission or to here and gaza. we have palestinians that have been working for us for many years, even before the work. they're committed to serving their fellow palestinians. but they also have to worry about their beings. it's getting harder for them to perform their duties because they are talking about giving their new vendor have to do to watch out for their own children in addition to trying to serve others basically arrow to them from the sites the children's in gaza. thank you very much. thank you. let's take a look now some of the other stories i'm making headlines around the world today to
4:17 pm
a funeral has been house or palestinian man sauce and killed by israeli settlers internet attack on a village in the occupied westbank. one is really man has been arrested off to a group said fire to vehicles in homes. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has condemned the violence. doctors in india have code for a nationwide shutdown of non essential medical services on saturday as protest continue the rights and matter of a medical training and co concept. several political demonstrations also planned for the weekend protests over violence against women have grown since the motor was discovered last week. thailand's problem and has elected space on san should've watcher become the next prime minister. oh, my gosh, 37. she's the countries youngest leader of a sub member office should've asked for a family to take this offers of old comments days off to the constitutional cough and move. the last 5 minutes to from the mediterranean sea
4:18 pm
reached its highest recorded temperature on 1st day. the walls, the hips, 28.9 degrees centigrade raising concern for sealants. meanwhile, hospitals in rome, i seeing arise and admissions as easily suffers. so he's way the mediterranean region has been pacified as a climate change constable. and several parts of europe by experiencing another, some of the extreme heat and raging waters size. in recent weeks, greece and the bulk of countries happened by the effected emergency services to deal with large areas of forest of land going up in flames. near the bree capital assets, one woman dies and thousands more were forced to flee the homes for atlantis. the hot temperatures and dry conditions also boost of bob fuzz father knowles, in bosnia herzegovina and albania. the bakery heat has let them actually to rise
4:19 pm
past 40 degrees celsius and many bolt countries. like here in montenegro, where a dip in the see at least provided some really a new study confirms that far as far as that becoming more wide spread across the globe binding at least twice as much 3 carpets a day as they did 2 decades ago. sky high flames and 6 black smoke, just one of many fires confirming what has long been feared that fires are getting worse. set up by the latest data on wildfire collected by global forest watch at the world resources institute. there is a hard evidence that is showing that there's an increasing frequency, intensity and extent of wildfires worldwide record setting for us by us becoming more frequent. 2023 was the worst you on record with nearly 12000000 hacked events. an area roughly the size of the corolla topic,
4:20 pm
the previous record by about 24 percent. one region that was especially effective last year is canada. which experience as most destructive fantasies ever burning their account of the for roughly 2 thirds of all forest by us and more than a quad off on the forest. last worldwide to be found that the fires in canada and 2023 actually emitted roughly $3000000000.00 tons of carbon dioxide which is roughly equivalent to the annual emissions of india, which is the 3rd largest producer of fossil fuel emissions. so what's the me to drive up behind this trend? the answer is simple. human costs climate change, as the problem is, is changing. the likelihood of extreme heat and extreme dryness is increasing exponentially. and this is giving rise to tinderbox conditions and devastating was extreme heat waves,
4:21 pm
all righty. 5 times more likely today than they were a 150 years ago. and i expect us to become even more frequent as dependent continues to warm according to w r. i for us and for your regions, those and the far northern parts of the world, a particularly effective roughly 70 percent of all 5 related treat cover loss in the past 2 decades. ok, there. they'll find it as a natural part of how bore for fun to logically, there has been a significant increase in the loss of please to fire. so the boiler region is warming faster than the rest of the world right now. due to climate change. you saw a mass of wildfires in russia as well and recent years. and so i think this is just kind of a continuation of something that we're going to see more of in the future. the experts point to the so called climate feedback loop as a major concern when forced burden,
4:22 pm
they release carbon and as forest by us become larger and happen more often. they make more common through the exacerbating climate change and contributing to more fi us. so what can we do to change this trend? the only way to your address the likelihood, the increasing likelihood of these extreme fires is to phase out use of fossil fuels and to store uh, shipping costs, global warming. not all wildfire is a bad, many of them a natural, unimportant to keep forth healthy, but us temperatures rise. so tuesday, experts that's the need to prevent uncontrolled by us that cause massive destruction for communities and the environment to w senior finally supported the results on john's me. and this is enough of it. no is we just have trying to change is creating favorable conditions for these 5. but on the other side, these 5 driving climate change in in return. how does that work?
4:23 pm
is it just the smoke? well, so you've got the, the trees themselves, the quest of carbon dioxide and, and kind of store it for us. so when be for spun, those trees then release that carbon dioxide since the atmosphere, as we know, carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas slip forms. this kind of blanket around the us which traps and heat. um so that obviously then to contribute to this, this issue wasn't quite significantly solid and the scientist said about it. that's about the annual c o 2 budget of india. and that was only the canadian 5, so you know what, that's the level going has to be gotten this fair. i mean, the amazon, for example, of which has been seen as a global common thing can we think it's very important to draw caustic meetings and the area that captions and stores c o 2, exactly their pulse with the amazon now that really small carbon dioxide into the atmosphere then it takes in because of the kind of wildfires that we're seeing see
4:24 pm
what's in governments and other authorities do to prevent the worst impassively supplies. i mean, there is the investment that they need to make him to prevention of say, exploits, for example. i mean the e u as an example, a apparently a pace for about 90 percent of its we cannot budget when dealing with the fires on like putting out the flyers. but they only sent, spend about 10 percent then on trying to prevent them in the 1st place, which is obviously a big issue. there are other things as well investing in technology. for example, such lights and drones that can detect fi is early on, make sure that they are put out before they get out of control and policies to make sure that the cities are not expanding too much into for us. which will then close to, you know, the files that are taking place and puts cities at risk as well. and then there are
4:25 pm
funny things, for example, that experts told us as we well for searching this topic. that, you know, you could use goats and sheets, for example, to clear some of the debris you know, leaves and glosses around cities to make sure that there's a break between the forests. i'm the supp ups and that those via our, those flames come to improve. how can people be prepared to deal with these 5? i mean, it's one of the main things is actually making sure that they don't start the fires in the 1st place. i mean, idea of who's the boss and actually on the exam calluses. i mean, you know, the wrong natural course is a fire. of course, you know, lightning strikes, for example, can stop by as also sheets. but humans are the biggest cause, the fires, you know, not putting out of cigarettes property, for example, not putting outcome fires properly. and like you said, often, so educating people so that they know not to, you know, accidentally stop these kinds of bias that can get out of control is one thing.
4:26 pm
another thing is, you know, getting people to play around that houses so that that's no trouble. re but can, you know, catch lights quickly and make it easy. i slip the fire to spread. i'm also just listening to authorities. obviously if people are told to evacuate the homes, they should do that so that they are out the way of any uncontrolled 5 by is coming their way. so i think it will stay on us. thank you very much for these all splendid, obviously. not climate report to and to remind them of all top story at this. authorities in pockets don't say they have detected a traveler entering the country for the impulse fives. say the man have traveled to the middle east, although is on clear which i am told. strain was found, w h o is calling on country is to be vigilance, but also not to close the border as it from that b and the ease of the new steam and stay with us. next eco,
