a twitter account and he's using it to share these stories sparking a backlash from the government controlled media in turkey which call him a traitor i feel relieved with each week and i know. the bad guys are afraid of it takei as family supports his risky decision even after everything they suffered his wife miscued is nervous about telling their story but agrees it's the right thing to do. other purged nato officers however feel they must stay in the shadows as threats from continue one of them tells me in a written statement he fears turkish intelligence will snatch to shut him up. everywhere they try to live. and if they get orders they carry them out talk giving way to fear emboldens the autocrats use them corage innocent people. being frightened or afraid so we are.

people came across the container believed to have been used to transport the poison one of them died. the gaza health ministry says israeli air strikes have killed a pregnant woman and her young daughter in the gaza strip one hamas fighter was also killed the israeli army launched the attacks after hamas militants fired more than one hundred and fifty rockets into israel injuring at least three israeli security situ. region has been tense since march when baddest indians began staging weekly protests along the gaza israeli border israel has warned hamas against further escalation. joining me now is middle east correspondent tanya crema she joins me from jerusalem john what is the latest you can tell us about this incident. well the situation seems to have quieted down in the past hour or so but we have to wait and see what the next hours will bring if they

can agree again on a calm in the south because we've seen those days of military escalation several times in the past month now according to the israeli army a hundred and eighty rockets were launched from the gaza strip to southern communities and open fields in israel. thirty of them have been intercepted by the israeli defense system are in. israeli army says they have launched attacks from against one hundred fifty targets and sites in the gaza strip and as you said three people have been reported to be killed in gaza and there have been injured both sides in israel and the gaza strip and tell you've just been in the palestinian territories let's first look at your report which shows the situation for people in gaza since the u.s. president slashed u.s. funding for the united nations agency responsible for some five million refugees

there has got much worse and some agency employees are on strike. a sit in congress headquarters in gaza city a few employees have even started a hunger strike all of them fear for their jobs among them as psychologists who are shot she will have to work part time for the next six months only a kid to do have a shot at drugs drawing us out in the street i'm thirty eight years old my husband doesn't work i have full clinics i don't have any other source of energy where should i apply for this job i want to get them back most of the anger is directed at the agency a hundred and thirteen people will lose their jobs with unemployment at more than forty percent in gaza work with the agency had been highly sought after the funding crisis is starting to bite after the u.s. slashed its support for on road back in january there is a ninety million dollars shortfall in its emergency fund which supports food

distribution mental health and cash for work programs we're trying the best we can to prioritize the food distribution and that means we have to borrow some money and do less of the other two programs a number of our staff staff roughly a thousand staff are affected by this some of them will continue full time their job some of them will have to move to part time so that we can fit into the budget of food distribution and how must control gaza the crisis over the agency which provides services normally supplied by state comes amid a tense political situation as ceasefire between hamas and israel remains elusive people here are very that the cuts in u.s. funding are only the beginning of a wider come pain to take the refugee issue off the agenda israel and the us accuse the un organization of perpetuating the refugee problem but people here say that without the little support they get the situation would be even worse. at the

distribution center at the refugee camp people come for their basic idea. with the gaza strip seared off by israel and egypt over eighty percent of the population are dependent on aid one way or another. every three months or even mohamed going up picks up his family's ration of oil lentils floor and other items he's a tailor but hardly finds work was a loner all agency has reduced its own staff so what will happen to people like me if i cut even slightly it will hurt. them today i'm getting seven bags but if they cut it by half the quantity will not be enough. it will never be enough the food. like for him and his fellow two million gazans remains deeply uncertain. so john as we saw in your report for the people in gaza things are getting from bad

to worse how are people coping with these very difficult and difficult times for them. well certainly i mean people have been living in this sealed off gaza strip in egypt for the past decade or so and the situation has been deteriorating ever since the question years people will be looking now with this particular military escalation that we've seen again coming up in the past month or so and today again they will be looking at cover in our mediation efforts are actually under way for the past couple of weeks they will be trying with the help of the egyptians and the u.n. to not only calm down the situation right now but to look for what we understand from reports for longest ceasefire israel and hamas but certainly the focus will be now to try to calm down the situation there's also a plan by the u.n. special envoy to bring in a plan to help to measure it the situation in gaza to die

a humanitarian situation for people there but of course every military escalation like this it's needless to say it's a very dangerous past because you know every incident can lead to a vital escalations we will have to wait and see how this will be playing out in the coming hours can it remain jerusalem thank you very much. to argentina now where the country's senate has rejected a bill to legalize abortions lawmakers voted by a margin of thirty eight to thirty one against the measure after some fifteen hours of debate the bill that would have legalized abortion up to the fourteenth week of pregnancy passons of anti-abortion activists cheered the news outside the congress in bonus itis but many of the bill's backers launched angry protests before police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse them. let me now bring you up to date

. has launched a protest. in berlin demanding immediate release the response of the police of several private news outlets reporters without borders to . the raids and the confiscation of computers and other devices suggests our political. correspondent emily show is following that story she has more on the allegations against correspondent by koskie and his colleagues . well in the case of. the authours actually gave no official reason for their arrest and. his wife told g w that authorities initially said when they came to search the apartment that they were actually just searching the address. that address as a whole that they weren't actually directing the searches at the journalist directly and initially because he was treated as

a witness in this case rather than as a suspect in this case against journalists in belarus authorities did however say that it was connected to the arrests of other journalists and bella ruse and they are accused of on lawfully accessing information on the state news agency which essentially means they they're accused of not having a proper subscription to that news agency now because kim self has said that he hasn't recently used that resource at all. that was a militia when reporting from moscow nigeria as specific as lot of most corrupt countries in the wild that's according to the global anti corruption watchdog transparency international last year it ranked one hundred forty eight out of one hundred eighty countries one organizations trying to change that it's called cracka and it uses data from the public budget to fight corruption and promote

capital will replace the book or twat who is joining riyadh madrid capon made at fifty three appearances in spain. he has signed a seven year contract with chelsea. and yeah joins me now in germany's introducing tough regulations to protect key industries that's right and the target is very clear it's china of course for several years now beijing has been on a mission to buy foreign companies that fit its made in china twenty twenty five strategy mostly market leaders and ten different key industry sectors like robotics or pharmaceuticals that strategy involves takeovers of foreign companies and countries such as germany and the u.s. are now see their industrial advantages at risk are starting to fight china's massive buyout strategy with stricter regulation it's a move china won't like germany's government wants broader veto powers when investors from outside europe buy into local companies starting at fifteen percent

stakes instead of the current twenty five the new regulations come after berlin effectively blocked a chinese company from buying a twenty percent share in electricity grid operator fifty hertz. chinese trade representatives claim they're being singled out however the sudden surge in chinese purchases is striking while the volume of chinese transactions in germany was comparable low in the years before twenty sixteen it's accelerated quickly since then a sudden surge to twelve point six billion dollars in twenty sixteen was followed by a new peak of thirteen point seven billion dollars in twenty seventeen. and it's not only the size of the investments that are ringing alarm bells in berlin. many of them are focused on certain sectors. those ten key industrial sectors president z.

wants china to become world leader in the acquisition of robot manufacture a cooker for four and a half billion euros last year falls into that category. and this year lease to food c.e.o. of chinese carmakers easily acquired ten percent in germany. now germany is slamming on the brakes by planning tighter scrutiny of foreign investments but german industry representatives fear the government stricter controls could deter chinese investors and that's not necessarily good news after all investors also provide capital and create jobs. germany is one of the world's top travel destinations government statistics out today show tourism is stronger than ever people from inside and outside germany are visiting places like berlin record numbers hotels recorded some two hundred fourteen million overnight stays in the first half of this year four percent over the same period last year there were more

than thirty eight million foreign visitors that's up five percent. let's bring in corner of booze and from downtown fine for one of those top travel destinations how did germany's become so cool as a travel destination. well guess what i have to say if you take frankfurt for example a city that's often perceived to be a bit boring with all its banks it's also a big surprise to see how many tourists are coming here but germany has done a lot to become more attractive for tourists frankfurt is a very good example with its completely refurbished old town of center of the town but of course there's a flip side to it germany is also benefiting from the negative aspects of other places in the world as it's become more in secure to travel worldwide at least people perceive it that way many tourists choose germany as a travel destination

a country that's perceived to be very safe to travel to. definitely is a new version from for but what other locations in germany benefit most and where the tourists coming from. well generally said it's the big centers that benefit most places like of course hamburg munich also frankfurt places that are well known in the world and that you can easily reach by plane by car by train also the fact that europe is growing closer together is playing a role you know we are seeing many people from spain here from italy who now want to find out what this european union is all about and speaking of the european union the e.u. has started to sponsor cheap train tickets for young europeans and this has caused a bit of a renaissance for those into rail tickets which allow youngsters to travel the continent by paying one price and then travel all over the continent for

a couple of weeks this is a big trend this year and this is also something that is being seen here in frankfurt interest who'd have thought. in france thank you. businesses and indeed whole industries go up and down and sometimes they die in no way one industry definitely seems to be on the way out and that's tobacco smoking numbers in norway have hit a historic low especially as younger consumers are priced out of the cigarette market. these drawers are well stocked and they will stay that way the product they're holding isn't very popular young people used to come in here for cigarettes they don't anymore. previously there were a few but now i don't really know anyone who smokes it's become uncool. i don't want to do it it's like people look down on people who smoke. and it seems the

government's anti-smoking efforts have paid off in no way cigarettes cost thirteen year olds for a pack the third highest price worldwide after australia new zealand and tobacco companies aren't allowed to advertise or even show their logo on their packs some companies have sued to no avail. you don't want to be in the clutches of an industry that tries to keep pushing cigarettes. in many youth circles it is now completely unthinkable for one's friends and school buddies to smoke so i can't rule out we will go for zero percent . no more smoking in norway it's the consumer's choice after all. for many gardeners across europe brown is the new green and the heat wave that is currently sweeping across the continent most

have given up watering their grass it would dutch entrepreneur has come up with a very clever idea he sprays the dry grass with a green liquid that way ya would in a regular summer color between five and seven weeks it also contains fertilizer which. grow on sea intense summer heat finally comes to an end. as a clever idea and here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you israel has launched a wave of strikes against gaza killing three palestinians israel says it was in retaliation for more than one hundred fifty rockets mortars fired from gaza into the place three israelis. that's a joke that's this is the w. news live from we have an update for you in the at the top of the opera. thank you very much for joining us by.
