safe embassy wet demonstrates is gather president biden, and his western allies up in space. be criticized with that unequivocal support. if the history of the government under reset them in the indies, yet big deal full of toothpaste, solution for both. but a simians and israel, shedding the land together for peace with us, not the solution because isabel is in way to enjoy medium from home to the european union's largest jewish and muslim communities demonstrates has defied ongoing funds on palestinian protests, leading to violent clashes with police and berlin, many blame the you and europe's full but colonial powers. who shape the middle east? the choosing sides of the conflicts. it's paul from black and white. as the crisis deepens, categories playing a pivotal diplomatic role. this is the capital though huh? palestinian sympathies. oh, strong and well the cycle of violence and repression continues. 1000000 so now

demanding enough is enough. a default which is 0, a palestinian the solar power to march has been taking place in the us capital, washington, dc. how does a caster report we're in the middle of the 3rd pro palestinian protest in the american capital this week. and by far, this one with it's some 3 to 4000 attendees. is the largest turn out earlier. there was just a sea of people here participating in friday prayers, muslims, on their prayer rugs, while surrounding them a wall of allies, many of them, jewish americans who are also here united by the champ, we were just hearing ceasefire now in casa, and that's what brought all of these people, including families, to this spot on the national mon. i think everyone's voice is made to be heard. i mean, this has been going on for too long. i've been coming to these rallies for 20 years now. ever since i was back in college, excuse me, and i mean it was,

it's just time for this. the end is too much violence, too much violence and it's too much violence in the west bank and the madness as far as, as far as the, as far as important. but it's to be a demand for israel to stop slaughtering college students. that should be a man to leave for them to, to alleviate that locate the end of located on gaza and released cost in in prisoners. meanwhile, there is a small group, very small of progressive democrats in the house of head, have introduced a resolution to call for a cease fire in gaza, unlikely to gain any traction. despite the many efforts of these protesters, heidi jo castro alger 0 washington for that's it. for me down jordan, for now counting the cost is up next making sense of what the of industrial high above 9 guns dates back a 100 years. it's surrounded by 2 major rivers and many canals,

which are badly clear that following decades of rapid industrial growth and increasing urbanized ation, the city as a 3rd was air quality in bangladesh record which the government said it intends to change. last year, city leaders that proved an action plan for low carbon climate, resilient development. it's the 1st city in bangladesh to do that. because parts with green zones, including forest and several air monitoring station, as well as starting to restore canals and wetlands. things have improved a lot here on like before when it was more polluted, but much more needs to be done. environmental experts say the city has the potential to become a role model, demonstrating how local governments can play a by the role and realizing the goals of the periods. sacrament on climate change. the

why money in 5 it's is counting the cost on al jazeera, your weekly look at the wells of business and economics. this week, palestinians traps in gauze or pleads the much needed release. deal was weeks to allow aid in to be in place. but is it enough to events as your monetary and catastrophe? we'll say this week, people in gaza, a running out of everything that you know most of nations is appealing for millions of dollars in an assistant. lots because it has been on the blockade. some of the 16 years we look at how the restrictions on the flow of goods and people have destroyed lines. the gaza is being strong old and it seems the wealth has lost its you mamma. see those all the words

of the un agency for palestinian refugees as it was of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. thousands of people have been killed since is where a launch did submit a tree offensive against thomas and imposed a total siege. on the already located enclave residence trapped in gauze, i have no access to food, water, electricity, or even fuel hospitals. on a breaking point. what does it close? so there is no escape. i know where it's safe. even hospitals all being boomed. you as president joe biden says, israel has now agreed to allow humanitarian assistance to begin flowing into gaza. while egypt has agreed to open the rough up border crossing to allow in trunks, the european union is launching an average, has tripled its assistance to the territory. united nations has appealed for 294000000 dollars to address the most just needs for the people in golf.

well, the rasa crossing out the border between the southern parts have gone so in egypt is the remaining lifeline to the outside world. but the flow of vehicles and goods through it has been tightly controlled since israel imposed a blockade in 2007 supplies coming into gaza through rough that require is rarely approval. operations have been disrupted since israel launched its ministry offensive. now more than 2 weeks ago, the crossing was severely damaged by is ready strikes and needs to be repaired before supplies can even be delivered. hundreds of tons of aid from several countries piled up near the roof of crossing before the due to allowing assistance with reach, cut them up with the alarm crossing, which is the sole passage for trucks carrying goods, fuel and a into gaza is closed. to, to discuss all this, i'm joined now by somebody did some as the regional head of advocacy, media and communications at the norwegian refugee council. thank you for your time,

sir. it does now seem we have the steel according to the us to allow in 20 trunks of humanitarian aid into gaza through the roof of crossing. it doesn't sound like a whole lot how far is it going to go? the us announcement to allow 20 trucks initially into the alpha crossing to reach cause a is not enough to deal with the growing daily needs emerging from the is really bombardment and siege on godsa. the you in estimates that we need at least 100 trucks, a trucks to enter goals and daily to meet the growing humanitarian needs. and we need guarantees as 8 workers as well that aid work is distributing, aid will be provided with safety and those people receiving aid will also be protected from violence. so we need to see an urgent scale up of the aid supplies

going in to gaza. immediately. all crossings need to be opened a no restrictions should be placed on the amount of 8 going in, right? even if you get what you want in terms of the 8 and the safety aspect, what about the infrastructure that has already been damaged so badly, including the crossing itself? how logistically are you able to get the a through to the people that need it as well? the destruction of the fast crossing in particular needs to be repaired. we hearing that there are reports that there are steps being taken to do this. the, the, the most important message here is that the aide supplies going in should not be restricted on 20 trucks. initially is simply not enough to deal with the scale of the needs on the ground in gaza. there's also been no mention of people leaving garza through the rough uh crossing. how important is it at least the very

least for people who have medical needs to be allowed to go out. it's absolutely vital that people who have been injured severely injured and wounded during this phone, bartman are allowed to cross into egypt to per gets the medical attention they require. so we're really urging all parties to prioritize medical evacuations for people to receive that treatment. but they must also be guarantees that people are allowed to return and re be repacked created into gaza as well. well that, that is the risk that many people say that they won't be allowed back in, which is why they don't want them to leave in the 1st place to well, exactly, they're all concerns that if people do leave the safe passage, all civilians is granted that they won't be allowed back into garza so alcohol is not a civilian, should be able to leave based on consent,

but also based on guarantees that they'd be able to return back into gaza. but the time is running out right now to protect people from violence and the environment is so intense that it's leading to a rolling to monetary and catastrophe. we're struggling to keep up with the needs that a converging on the ground. fuel is running out. water is running out, electricity is caught, the services in garza has collapsed. and so that's why it's crucial for us to prioritize the o crossings. remain open and there are no restrictions to aid supplies going into gaza right now to really need the daily humanitarian needs. some of these i really appreciate you talking to us some of the regional head of advocacy media and communications at the norwegian refugee council. thank you. now

in response to attacks by home, us on israel nations including denmark, suite in germany and austria have suspended development aid programs through the palestinian territories. that includes funding for you and organizations, the palestinian authority in the west bank and civil civil society groups. thomas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the united states on the european union. and during the se, they fear that beyond group could seize or benefit from that aid. well, joining me now from brussels is mountain connection a. he's the direct to the european middle east project money. thanks for your time . what do you make of the response i followed to the monetary in crisis unfolding and gaza as well. it has been initially driven primarily by the outrage and shop about the, the effects of the harvest. they can fax by a mouse which is understandable. and this has also led to calls in some

countries and you know, parts of the european volume and also for suspending you a to the, to the palestinians. the problem with that is that this, this very understandable an entirely legitimate outrage about what we have seen is not coupled with the same kind of outrage and sympathy for the suffering of the palestinians over the many years under the blockade of gauze and the, the other problem is that uh, suspending aid is actually punishing the whole population at this moment when the assistance will be most needed. and certainly it is actually conduct productive to the use goal because the systems hasn't been supporting a mouse. but on the contrary, it's arrival. palestinian also rate the based in, in the west bank. so it doesn't make sense originally from the,

from these points of view. yeah, let's talk a bit more about these a programs and what they're in aid off, because as you say, jimmy denmark suite and just to name a few of temporarily suspended the development a programs to gone to in the last week or so. what, what do these aid programs do? what if they've been doing historically and what happens when you suddenly switch them off a? yeah, so these a programs to support the various projects on the ground, both in the west bank and gaza. it's, you know, environmental projects infrastructure such as the so in nation plans, water treatment plans, it supports the civil servants of the past, the minimal, sorry, the, the teachers and doctor, the specially, it also provides cash benefits to the poorest posting in families. it supports and g o's, it supports the project supporting women's rights, and central,

etc, is very broad. and so switching off this vital support right at this moment when we know what guys that is going through is a, is really quite a drastic response. now again, the you has moved down this a search for member states of the you, which you mention have temporarily suspended it. they want to review the aid and re re started afterwards. but still it is a very, very problematic response, which i think it reflects the wider political response to, to the crisis that we have seen in europe with some politicians and member states completely taking the side of israel. and again, being kind of blind for the palestinian, the suffering from which actually this crisis has, uh, has been generated up all concerns over a ending up and how much is hands valid?

so the, the assistance of the europeans has been actually subjected to greater scripting. then i think anywhere else a all physical aid that goes to gaza in terms of, you know, i was talking about plans for wastewater treatment and so long is actually going there with the approval of israel. and we're very close moines. are in very extreme, actually by international standards mines or things of every piece of material that goes into the gaza. all the funding from the you to individuals like civil servants posting and civil servants. it's actually based on lists which are screened, invented against the international section lists. so there is actually greater control then, then is the usual standard. uh, there have always been a lot of, uh, you know, suspicions from certain quarters of you politics about these programs. so there has

always been greater attention and lots of questions about this. and people have been looking into it and reviewing and monitoring this a very closely. but there is no evidence. and you know, these reviews haven't shown any evidence of a misuse or diversion of these funds. unfortunately, out of time, martin by really appreciate you speaking to us and sharing your thoughts, mountain connectivity direct to the european middle east project. nicer. all has ordered more than a 1000000 people to leave. the northern parts have gone. so it is putting pressure on egypt to allow them to cross into the sinai. but egypt president says he won't allow refugees from gauntlet into his country. a defacto cc says that would make the peninsula a target for israel. well, our country's and the people have gone to a worry that palestinians leave israel may never allow them to return. joining me

now from ramallah as mazda and sent across, he's a full met palestinian minister of economy internally, the chief executive officer at single court holding. thank you for joining us. that i wanted to stop by asking you your reaction to this recent agreement to allow in 20 a truck through the roof across the well, i think this is, this is a very small in the start of the doesn't did either going to have an impact on the social life of the 2300000 palestinians living under the city of the closure of been bought on databases and implemented is up abundant. so $20.00 the only allowing get food and medicine and no fuel. the fuel is amelia committee for the hosp because to operate the in addition to that, uh, talking about 20 deluxe, definitely this is will not really do any, any social impact for the see any of them. that would be also targeted only for the, for the southern part of goods and the for the whole drug assistance submission for

that to the american administration have been a bit in bold and tried to go to visit as early as for the last 4 or 5 days and getting get out with this very primitive shim for results. well, just to add to your point about fuel, that was israel, who has refused the fuel to be included in this age on void because they say how much will then intercept the fuel and use it for their own reasons of is that the reason that you would be sympathetic with is as well as concerns. you know, of course not, of course, not the, i mean the field has been or was it coming from the side that is being challenged with the assistance, especially if you would, for the rest of the company and also for the use of people to move around so i think and the 4 of us, but the store, but it's a now the need for a fuel is not listed on the need for the blacks and, and also for and so i believe the fuel is a fight importance for to florida at least to to bring the, i to need the,

the system for us because nobody's in these kind of the circumstances. you know, that the thousands of casualties every day under this, of the people every day. so without having the, the, the, the buffer functioning photos. but that does not mean that goes, i would die. graduating to think of egypt is right to be cautious and lessing refugees from gaza into as well. i think is a, i mean this is not distribution, but it's dean and it's helpful for suffer from uh, the neck by making for the 8th. and the suffered also from the end of the $6.00 to $7.00. and that's, i don't see that, but a standing is the, i have the, you know, the, the, the advertise believe the, the, the of holding us any more because they have seen what's happened to the, for the scene is since the next button might be 48 those who are living and live on on syria, i mean, i can, that's what i don't do well. so i think enough is enough. this,

it from one have the agent to have the, the, the photo, right? so it's not accepting, but the students who come in to be pushed by the forces to, to, to the very 3 to these guys. a no agent kind of a enough, but out of. but if it is from should not from the vienna from, from, from city and that's where and the thing they have not this stuff. 10000000 people . so i, i agree. yeah. 100 percent of what cc have said to the, to the general counsel and their best confidence. okay. math and stay with me because i want to get some context to this will between israel and gaza. it's, it's worth taking a look back into history because so i think security reasons is rel, imposed a permanent blockade on golf. and since how much to control of this trip in 2007 and that located restricted who could access the tower street and made it difficult for palestinians to work in israel. and as a result of cause, a has one of the highest unemployment rates and the wells at 46 percent. let's come back to you more than how have palestinians managed to make

a living in garza since the blockade. you don't have to be the mind. you and the mind, the people who are watching guess actually that the, the located the have stopped it after the unit to the left there. so it goes up to others. ladies in september of 2005, i was part of the have permit be in the government at that time, they did not go to the funeral for the bite, anything they just done it. i know there was a little from casa in september of 2005. i must have over after the, you know, the latest elections in the business of johnson and the 2007. so after, as lady have visited, have lived together, this thought did the complete sage on it by and see, and this is the fact that was part of the government at that time. and they have what this, everything in my own eyes, they comically and, and, and also socially. and daughter is money and exports on that person to get the flow

of what goes everything up, stop after they have that because that september 2005. so how do they survive if you have no income, how do you live? a look. i mean the scene is always unfortunately they have always find a way and mean stewart to, to, to live and let live in a way. so the vision for survivor, that was always the theory for co existence. what i'm seeing is that on, on this, it was that easy. it was extremely difficult as, as we would have said, 45 percent of, of, uh, people who are not working 50 percent of the $45.00 out of university graduates, the 80 percent of the cost of the poverty line for the last 18 years. also, in addition to that, you know, if you look at the income that comes up between the us bank and it goes up because it's 50 percent of the income for people to invest in the us back. so this has this long located and long seasoned, don't close that on goods. a have shown these indicators of, you know, that it gets uh 80 percent of its inhabitants of extra difficulties from,

from that i did for the aid from this. but it kind of the fee of, of, by this time. so that means that people have been suffering. another one was being that the, the only player in guns that because 80 percent of the people have benefited from the under the law. and do you and agency is programs, especially for medical care education infrastructure, the part of frontier, and that all the size data celebrated to yeah, sorry to interrupt, to you. i just wanted to say that's all the more reason why that aid is so important. mazda, instead of crowds full that promised any administer of economy. and carney, the chief executive officer, sent across, holding. thank you. now, the european investment bank has invested millions of dollars, both in israel and palestine of the past 20 years. it's projects include energy, war to transport facilities for palestinians, as well as the style of nation programs in israel, which is here is how some i heard about us, spoke to the buying president. when a hoity,

he started by asking him about the impact of the war on the bank. so peroration the vibrate, definitely hope and things that come down because the, the projects are entertaining in gaza. for instance, on the west bank, they are not targeting at any quantity co destination, but at the support for the people and clean water is something that people actually need. so this will just one example of what we're doing. yeah. but uh we of course, uh, depending upon what the politic environment allows us to do, most of you have financing is always shifting to talk to the climate action. that means that we are likely to see more special funds to deal with climate change and natural disasters ticket in the office in continent. well that, that takes or boxes. so i would say uh we have, we are proud to have been the 1st month is that really building vancouver strong, strongly most strongly focused on climate x. and we are happy that now everybody's on board. and that last year i think it was over

a 100000000000 euros that has been invested in this field. so it is 6 of them come from the i'd be alone. so we, we are the leader of the pack and disrespect. and we would like to continue, and of course we need to develop new instruments. and the ones who are just mentioned to our center stage. we are doing this in several parts of the well. so i think we are aligned with our colleagues, with our peers in the mtv community. you have announced a 1000000000 dollar, lo and form of all code to tackle the aftermath of the us click. is it going to be solely about recovery and reconstruction unnecessarily. but to be honest, they, after the terrible destruction as a consequence of the quake, we have offered similar work and government, our support. and we have a note of developed ideas that could leads to a volume of up to a 1000000000 euros with for the next 3 years. but we, we, here we listen to what the american government is, the prioritizing and to invest direction. the projects were to go,

but we are strongly committed to this country where we have relations for almost half a century. he has been here very, very, very early, and the relationship with morocco is particularly good in this part of the world. do you see the potential for more investments when it comes to the transition to green energy? we're also has been establishing a platform over the last that could be, which is between europe and africa, which has huge potential when it comes to renewable energy. absolutely, and be hydrogen issue where we are extremely engaged in the area where the idea and the substance of fruit of partnerships can be a fruit. we must live that we must go beyond the rhetoric. we must walk the talk and the hydrogens. very good example that means don't talk only about extraction, talk about refining processing and opening the world for parts of the patient,

of african countries in the global economy. how do respond to many african countries, things that is about time to reform, the international financial system. otherwise, many countries would continue to do full on their own depths, because they say they cannot afford to continue taking those from international institutions. telling us that you have to impose restrictions of 30 measures, spending costs for you to be able to get the financing, or whether it's in europe are enough or go elsewhere. some times people, countries run into difficulties net difficulties because of their own fault. so let's, let's differentiate that there are others where you might say they have been victims and unfortunate developments of, of nature or, and if it's something else, and then we need to have specific solutions to be offered. and we did this for instance, uh when, when it comes to a debt for nature swaps we are ready to discuss. we are discussing long tenors for

developing countries. we are, we have set up the is program for countries that are under the specific threats of natural disasters. so we include no that should drastic clauses into our financing agreements. that means if the disaster hits, if a small island state is just about to be washed away, for instance, then we come in with a, with a, with conditions of our loans that are going to take care of this, a special situation automatically. and it's a necessary for that small items. they've been to enter into lincoln negotiations with your pin union, an eob e. so i think we are on the good on a good way to go with our partners and to go this house, we must bring more life to the idea of real partnership and getting away from this donor recipient thinking that is, oh, so for this week and in touch with us on x will meaning a switch the money inside to use a hash tag h i c t c. when you do or you can drops an e mail accounts and the costs out is there a dot net is address um as movie online at out, is there a dot com slash ctc,

which will take you straight to a page which has individual reports, links and todd episodes can use to catch up on that is it for this edition accounting, the calls time of insight from the whole team. thanks for joining us. the new use on out as eric coming up next in north korea, supreme leader kim jong sista is emerging as a likely successful the 101 east investigate. north korea's most powerful woman on l. g 0. the us is always of interest to people. all right, the world, this has been going on for a number. you got the surprise, but you see the report 34, they connected perspective to try to explain to global audience why it's important to impact the lives at the height of the storm. water was still high by hey,
