when they're going to be able to get back to their neighborhood they don't know when they'll be able to see if their home is just a chart pile of rubble and they're expressing concern oh what are firefighters doing how come they're not battling this fire more vigorously some people are saying that they watched their neighbor's house burn down and there was not a firefighter in sight so frustration levels are getting very very high i what is the strategy of being employed by the firefighters and other looking to extinguish the fire as well just trying to contain them and let them burn themselves out at the moment containment is the number one priority and anything within that footprint a flare up or a home or anything like that isn't really expendable but at least it's within that fire containment line they've got several helicopters in the air right now as well as sixteen aircraft that are dropping thousands upon thousands of gallons of water trying to least extinguish some of the flames and keep some of the hot spots from

wearing winning the right to vote speaking in berlin she paid tribute to the people who fought for women's suffrage but the fact is that the women are still under represented in germany's parliament and elsewhere in society. at the ceremony women were for once over represented only a few men were on hand at the german historical museum to celebrate the centennial of the women's suffrage movement chancellor merkel was at the center of the celebrations she's the first woman in germany to hold the post of chancellor and today that fact held special importance. and your was no one laughs at a girl anymore when she says she wants to be a minister or chancellor. at the end of last year. it was a go some were asking the question of whether a man should be allowed to do it. so i think that's all it was i didn't make that.

however symbolically significant it may be to have a woman at the helm women are still under represented in german parliament and when it comes to the economy science and culture women count for hof the population but make up only thirty percent of the members of parliament within government there's a growing demand for laws that would increase the number of women in parliament. then via. always when we have a parliament and large committees that represent the people. then it's a good goal to say half of them should be women. though it isn't the population is fairly represented. in the goal must be parity parity everywhere. germany still has a long way to go on that front. but chancellor merkel didn't want to be pinned down

about how to get their. chief political editor of. the chancellor speech are welcome mikhail but so what does such as a merkel see as her role in bringing more women into politics but she said you can't really be described as being germany's feminist in chief despite being that for some thirteen years now what she did say is that you take some credit for the fact that if a girl today says she wants become a minister or taunt so that she will no longer be laughed at here and she said that sometimes the question does occur whether a man can become tonsil as well she says she didn't make that question up that is true yet own c.d.u. party still has one of the lowest. percentages of m.p.'s in the current parliament of around twenty percent and she admitted that there still was a long way to go and speaking to the chance of speaking to other lawmakers are indeed mail bomb makers why do they think this imbalance is so great for those many

issues but most of them are structural women i spoke to m.p.'s from all parties i spoke to of the past week said that it was basically in the end up to posses to create conditions that attract women that means long night sessions making it more family friendly because there is still a long way to go for those individual battles that couples fight back at home on who takes charge of what but also that parties need to create conditions where women can probably bring children or what simply fits into family life how much is this the general political radar here in germany has this been an issue. well the whole struggle has been an issue it was very much noted that this current parliament has a lower percentage it's just it's almost thirty one percent of women compared to some thirty six percent in the last time around so really it's a question and that's has highlighted the fact that the right to vote and to be

elected that to me is celebrating today one hundred years of that is a continuing struggle and by no means a linear development in the sense of more women taking part quite the contrary one of the parties themselves a bit of a doing anything to they have quotas or as. well the green party was the first parts to introduce essentially a fifty fifty quota every second person on the party list has to be female that is something that is the democrats are talking about now as well we heard the justice minister who is a democrat speak about that as a potential measure because there is evidence here that unless there is a quote a you don't really see much movement and that certainly is something that the chance of herself is against within her own party like evidence. to go over here because there's very few. people have been killed in exchanges of fire between israel and palestinians in gaza fighting was sparked by an israeli forces special

by air. eyesore explosions and lights and then isaura helicopter it came down in this area here it was only here for seven or eight minutes and then it took off again and left after it took off the israeli army struck the area they hit the car here and there were explosions they struck the entire area. seven palestinians killed in the operation were buried on monday the procession attended by thousands a mix of grief and raw anger the mourners demanded revenge scenes like this don't bode well for fragile peace efforts in the increase crucial financial aid necessary to pay these people has been flowing in from qatar in recent weeks but israel controls the access the returns are under arrest could jeopardize that as well as talks with egypt and the u.n. . but this is an open battle between us and the zionist enemy only it is
