to know the rule in june. ah, you want to help save the world. needs into your own. ah, ah. a growing environmental disaster the fires out. there are new problems with a ship stranded officer like because coast ah, hello, i'm a 3 and again this is i'll just hear a lie from doha also coming up. well the $100.00 students are missing after another proof attract the school. in nigeria, it's been called a death championship. the push to stop brazil, hosting a tough football tournament because of the break risk of corona virus. we take the

1st hand look inside the volcano that was probably going to flee in the democratic republic of congo. ah, at environmental disaster off the coast to shore lanka is getting worse. a large container ship that a court fire is now sinking. and part of it has become stuck on the seabed. several 100 tons of oil or in its fuel tanks. it's already cause the country's worst ever maritime environmental disaster. the ship was transporting a cargo of chemicals and plastic. the ship is dealt the death blow to our lives. we can't go to the sea, which means we can't make a living. let's go live now to want to go mo, what, it's not just after half past 7, just after half,

7 and evening. michelle fernandez is bad, but now there had been plans to tow this ship out to deeper was said before it sank . what's the latest? what happened to those it was that the authority is working on that operation. realize that the key of that vessel had hit the sea bed that basically about 20 meters between the surface of the ocean and the sea bed at the place where the m, the paul had been all of these days. and basically the latest was that the ship ski hit the sea bed, so all attempts to try and tool the vessel further to the proceeds to try and minimize any further environmental damage from the thinking from leakage from the noise bill would be minimized. but this was impossible, feel all the authorities had to abandon that. we're hitting that the coast guard. i'm sure lanka has moved the vessel close to the wreckage,

the indian counterpart of the coast guard. i've also moved in to, to combat any oil spill chemical leakage and things like that. so, so far, it seems that the bridge or the control room and the superstructure is the only thing that's above the water. all of the rest has been submerged. so that's, that's the situation as it stands, where that ship or wreckage now as it stands at the moment. all right, and the fact that it's sinking in water that is shallow and close to the coast means that it's going to woodson. what is already the country's worst maritime environmental disaster? sadly, that's the reality that lumpkins are facing at the moment. i mean, essentially right now it's around 800 kilometers off the coast of lanka. but

the, the impact of food thinking. and the key question is, all of that fuel on board from what we were hearing early on that this vessel had something like 322 tons of fuel. now bear in mind that there is a lot of sort of uncertainty and different sort of reports surrounding what exactly was the cargo on board the ship. what is the hazardous materials? what is the toxic chemicals that the ship was carrying? that is, talk that they have declared the manifest that they have kept in touch with the long authorities. however, there still seems to be uncertainty the exact picture of that port payload on that vessel. so if all of that material on board is released into the ocean, it's going to be even for the catastrophe. i mean, right now there are obviously different sort of waves and current that effect where that ship is. what we're hearing right now is at the moment,

given that the anti vessel has essentially sort of gone down onto the c bed. it's pretty much, even on balance. but with the current that are likely to hit, i was speaking to a couple of x, but it does seem that given the area where it's very strong sees these days and with also the sort of long sooner weather the tide, it's likely to hit part of the keel, the shape of the keel might actually result in the ship tilting or turning on the side and bearing lies the danger, the stress, the pressure on the structure on those fuel batting tanks are all going to be increased. and we can really sort of speculate, even though that's not something anyone wants to do right now. as to the complete extent of the full, the damage to show long because environment. and that's what got environmental. it's in an absolute quandary there warning of the worst. i was fernandez reporting

like from the gunboat. sure lanka when the facts. but now the place of a palestinian family is facing force displayed, the displacement from their homes that occupied east jerusalem is getting more global attention. the head of the you and relation works. agency visited families in the shape java neighborhood philip levine. he says that expulsions of palestinian refugees is illegal under international law. it is very difficult to exten. how's the lives of his aid, family risk being turned upside down. was a 2nd time within the and the free generation of being produced in refugees. i so one home in which is 20 settler, i've already taken over hundreds of the house. so the house is actually divided into a policy and family on

a family settler. it is written on what continues to call on the israeli authorities to out the displacement and to protect the rights and dignity. but it's in referee days into westbank, including here in santa where we are today. this eviction violets international law, an obligation as an occupying power for antoine, this punish tin refugees are facing a 2nd displacement in living memory at the head of the un agency for police and refugees. and mandated by the un general assembly to protect and assist. but is to refer div, i have made it out purity to help prevent another cycle of trauma and loss. the families never ever lost their refugee status. they are recognized as

palestine refugees. the time when the houses were built in exchange for their russian cards with men, flower, and oil, and whatever other support and was providing that with the exchange, they have never lost the refugees as they are registered with. registered palestine, refugees their right to receive support from any other policy. it accusations and red cross officials to put in concert to assess the extent of the humanitarian crisis. that after the 11th day, conflicts with israel. that looking at the extent of damage to homes, schools, hospitals, and garza's critical infrastructure. thousands of people remain displaced to residential buildings and homes were destroyed in the israeli bombardments. robert martini is the director general of the international committee of the red cross. he georgia, spelled live from gaza, could teddy with us. so what is it exactly that you've been doing? and what have you seen today in casa?

i arrive this morning in the gaza strip, but i visited the farmers, the whom we support with the water irrigation systems that were damaged in the wake of the recent escalation. of course, they are challenged by lack of production. i visited the also survivors of 2 buildings that were totally destroyed and it was really heartbreaking to hear those stories of civilians, women, and children who were killed while living in their apartments. of course, this is the new cycle of violence. so that comes on top of an already dire humanitarian situation in the gaza strip. but let's not forget that the situation before this new round of escalation was not normal. there are the

restriction, there are all the challenges or didn't you guys and say they in and they out there is the coffee, 1900 pandemic, very much present in this context. i visited also the she for hospital where i could see several people wanted the in the recent escalation, recovering from their ones. i saw a young girl severely wounded trying to overcome and battle with her wounds. and i think that no child should ever be exposed to, to this type of, of situation. what is it the people there have been telling you about that? that is and then needs that current needs. what i think fear was the key word, fear, anxiety and stress were the key words i heard repeatedly today. even if you escalation was shorter than in previous

situations. 11 days. but of course it will take years to rebuild. what was the damage in only 11 days that i, i think that here the humanity needs are important. the efforts for recovery rebuilding supporting water supply system the waste for to this, for the systems the but also supporting farmers, the supporting people who have lost their homes being displaced and having lost their livelihood have, having caught the difficulties to make and meet. we need to step up our support, so the i c r p has launched an appeal to step up our health programs. we have a surgical and she for hospital working hand in hand with the palestinian surgeons, unmet medical personnel. we are also prioritizing $3000.00 and time is who

will get the economy support to overcome the current, the challenges. at the same time, we are supporting the local water utilities and power utilities to be able to step up a safe water production to get back to a certain level of normal. alright, and in order to, to keep providing this, this aid. what does the c c need from donors and governments? what would your message be to to politicians right now? well, there is also an important need, you know, the invisible scars afford the mental health, which also was the red thread through all the discussion i had with the gods in the today's which also need need to be supported in great ways. so we have launch a preliminary appeal of 15000000 says frank,

that we definitely need in order to be also carry out what i mentioned earlier, also supporting the palestine rich christian society volunteers who have been doing a remarkable work get through this recent episode of escalation but i think might lead to the international coming to the parties to the different size, and also the international community in order to avoid that in one year or 2 years or 5 years. we bear witness to the same tragedies on both sides, by the way of the gods. our fence is there is a need for political leadership. there is maybe a glimmer of hope now with the political dynamics that playing out with the egypt and other states trying to to, to, to, to make progress on the political front. i think the only way out is a meaningful political solution to this long standing conflict. and in the

meantime, we need really to step up our support in order to beef up the humanitarian response in the guys that fit into very short term, really good. so. so many thanks for being with us, robert bandini, they're the director general of the international committee of the red cross. israel's defense minister is going to the united states to ask for more military aid, and he gans wants a $1000000000.00 to restock israel's defense, hostile the conflict with us and gaza. sort of thousands of rockets launched and intercepted over palestinian and israeli skies. in the past few hours, politicians in israel's parliament elected to isaac hertzog as the new president, the 60 year old got 87 votes in favor. the president's road is mostly ceremonial and israel, but over the power of grand parties, and 2 candidates to form a government that will take over the presidency from river river and in july
