10:02 am
has called on israel to exercise restraint. palestinians burned tires and hurled stones and firebombs near the border from the other side of the fence tear gas and rounds of gunfire from israeli forces within hours dozens of palestinians had been killed israel says it was trying to quell the violence and defend its border the united states agreed and placed the blame elsewhere. the responsibility for these tragic deaths rests squarely with hamas hamas is intentionally and cynically provoking this response and as a secretary of state said israel has the right to defend itself. but rights groups have condemned the israeli military has use of force as disproportionate and palestinian president mahmoud abbas referred to the day's events as a massacre his office has called for a full investigation. of this war crimes should not go
10:03 am
unpunished and the international community has a past that that is a possibility to provide that national question for the palestinian people we called upon an immediate committee in session for the human rights rights also and all of those the bullfight for a special mission investigation mission and for the crimes committed by the israeli army against our people who today. deadly unrest here but on the other side of the border a starkly different setting in jerusalem for the relocation of the u.s. embassy i. made the opening of this embassy and this city spread the truth far and wide and may the truth advance a lasting peace between israel and on our neighbors god bless the united states of america and god bless jerusalem the eternal divided couple of visual
10:04 am
i thank you nice applause here about vocal. scuffles at the new embassy in a city claimed by both israelis and palestinians a tumultuous day as a path towards peace appears increasingly more elusive. the u.n. security council hold an emergency meeting later today to address the bloodshed in gaza the violence has drawn scathing criticism across the region in istanbul in turkey thousands of protesters took to the streets on monday burning american flags and calling for solidarity with the palestinians the turkish government announced it was recalling it some basters to both israel and the united states in response to the violence in gaza. and there were strong words from turkish president rest of time out of one who's joined with those protesters and lashing out at israel let's listen for the saudi view to israel is
10:05 am
a terrorist state. and the steps they're taking now prove that they're a terrorist state. so that what israel has done is genocide and it's not the first time they've carried out a genocide. well with me now in studio to talk about this is yosef yachting is head of the berlin bureau of the european council on foreign relations good to see you again now we've just seen some of the international reaction to what has happened in israel and the palestinian territories there at the border through gaza from israel were more than fifty people were killed yesterday and over a thousand injured international reaction has been very strong south africa in turkey withdrawing their ambassadors have turkey calling what's happened in gaza genocide in mass occur today the u.n. security council is meeting is is a u.n. security council meeting going to help anything. really i believe it is necessary
10:06 am
it's necessary that the international community addresses those issues but it has very little means to affect the situation on the ground you see an eye for an eye tactic employed there where where israeli soldiers and these are the army responds harshly a must is trying to escalate the conflict it's a showdown that goes on there and that that is a very odd situation was the violence that we witnessed yesterday at the israeli gaza border not to be expected in connection with the opening of the u.s. embassy yes it was and has happened has happened before israeli defense forces were prepared probably if they were really prepared they might have responded smarter they might have created a situation where basically the palestinian masses tried to storm the border and it has no effect but i think both sides are a need for that symbol they are aiming to state their position and that escalates
10:07 am
the situation that makes it so complicated we spoke earlier with a representative from the palestinian policy network yara how warry just like to play a bit from her this interview i conducted with her just a short while ago we asked her about hopes for the peace process let's listen to what she said. i think the peace process has been well and truly dead for a while i don't think there is any chance of revival under the current format specially with the us as mediator the us has demonstrated very clearly that it stands for most with israel and you can see that from the language that they used yesterday to justify the massacre of these palestinians in gaza it was the same language that israel was using it was dehumanizing language. and it's very clear that they are not an honest broker in these negotiations so i think something you know very serious has to change. and that was yahoo ari talking to us
10:08 am
a little while ago she's a fellow at the palestinian policy network shove a con she spoke to us from ramallah yosef yelling what has to change the u.s. clearly isn't in a position to serve as mediator anymore can europe take on this role i doubt it the situation is that while europeans americans even israelis are committed rhetorically to a two state solution the things that happen on the ground make it less and less it possible outcome settlement policy the mismanagement in the west bank radicalization in gaza. the american decision to move the embassy to jerusalem which is another one of those steps away from from a two states an area that leads to to the conclusion if it's not possible to have a state to state out of what then now there is no blueprint there is no plan there
10:09 am
is no paper on which you can work is there no way forward i mean if we were saying ok two states two state solution is really not on the table right now does that mean we should just give up or could someone perhaps france play a role here french president men want to call and he's already spoken with the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas and with israeli prime minister netanyahu could france play a role there well they can try france has probably among the europeans the biggest effect on the thinking in the arab world so they can try to create a situation where there is also an air of engagement for a constructive solution whether that will be sufficient is another question because the arab world at the same time is in a rather difficult struggle about the future of the region now with the irani saudi controversy heating up over basically all of israel's neighborhood so. that is not the kind of scenario in which even the influence of france could play out
10:10 am
constructively very difficult use of yawning from the berlin bureau of the european council on foreign relations the head of berlin bureau thank you so much for talking with us this morning fletcher well much of what international viewers see of gaza centers on violence but what is daily life like there for ordinary people our correspondent tanya kramer met with students in the territory she asked them about their hopes and fears for the future. i nice to on his way to training in the east of the gaza strip sport and knows him to switch off from the bitter reality around him. a nice studies english literature at university in gaza city language is key to the world and the country said he has yet to visit. and it will be difficult to say what you want to look to the future finish school find a job find
10:11 am
a place to live get married but i want there's no hope there's no hope in augusta because the only thing is to finish and travel is at that a little circle thomas looks up at twenty three a nice has only traveled abroad once to neighboring egypt the protests in gaza an issue at university and these things the demos porton but also too dangerous to head and will the solution is that there should be some ease from the israeli side for the gaza strip a meaning that they open the border crossings and that you travel to provide them with employment so that they're able to work and to pay attention to something else that is still really looked after as a ten year gaza's tide borders on inescapable reality for most people here for more than twelve years but in egypt have sealed off the hamas controlled territory. nearby at the islamic university usma and. looking for new stories about everyday
10:12 am
life for the beauty you block the huddy twins have made a name for themselves on social media and if isn't that then the corn field of vision is to put content on the internet that shows galleon city as a normal city and not a place of war where people are just terrorists and troublemaker and i mean one the cows are is not like this and we are known for these architect to students have also from the demonstration taking place on gaza's borders they say they support the protests because they have put back on the agenda and base the issue of the right of return for palestinian refugees their own grandparents fled to gaza in ninety forty eight. but it's been a mystery that's allowed when it comes to the return much is from the moment they started i absolutely did not expect them to be this big i was very surprised with how people got involved in the us even people who would not be very much into such activity is. but. the protests along the border between
10:13 am
gaza and israel have been ongoing for seven weeks israel says hamas is treating the demonstrations but a news and his friends say that young people have their own reasons for protesting they feel they don't have much left to lose. most of the us would leave if the border crossings were to open there's no future here so your life is uproot if you stay here it means that you would use expires i was thirteen years of my life like that. in amik circumstances and the crossing points these are the aspects that i need to change the most i wish i would see them change everybody wishes the same they want things to get better and to have the prospect of a normal life too elusive as this younger generation has dreamed about for years first catch up now on a few other stories making headlines around the world today u.s.

10:16 am
a picture of the spiritual leader the dalai lama. it's odd that the china flame is said to be rising spore power so powerful it defused or threatened by a single person is all in is that imo the fact that he's so popular and revered by tibetans inside tibet everybody wants to get a lesson from him keep a picture of him yet the chinese government doesn't allow it hence the chinese government should see his son and his and ask a solution to the tibet issue and not a problem that is the crux of the issue i want to talk more about that in just a moment we might make for health you might make progress on this issue yet but yesterday you're here in germany right now yesterday you met with. a member of the german parliament to you're going to meet with other members of parliament today i understand you didn't have you didn't get a meeting with the chancellor but chancellor merkel will be in china next week what

citizenship while israel has had only german citizenship since his eighteenth birthday critics say the photo could be used to help the turkish president's election campaign so they let themselves be used for a cheap propaganda show for a despot and authoritarian rulers who was obviously afraid of losing fair elections in turkey and they had to do the act soon find i think the players committed a serious foul and i think it's embarrassing to hide under slack of distance between german internationals and a foreign president is in my opinion completely inappropriate for. apparently surprised by the criticism going to want issued a statement it was not our intention to make a political statement with our photo and even less so to campaign for his election as germany internationals we are committed to the values of the d.f.t. and are aware of our responsibilities there whose football must be guided by values and where mr advani is in charge those values are not sufficiently respected. and
