a european army. we should be working on the idea of one day creating a real european. a close match if you see us take a close and heckling we'll hear from our correspondent in strasburg about why this issue is so contentious and. forty two dead and more than two hundred twenty missing california reels from the deadliest wildfires in its history as authorities get ready to hunt for victims. i'm from galle welcome to the program the latest upsurge in cross border violence between israel and the palestinians is fueling fears of a full blown conflict the on tuesday militants in gaza five hundreds of rockets into southern israel this was in response to israeli airstrikes on targets in the gaza strip the israeli military has stepped up its deployment along gaza's border

but has not mobilized its reserve force we'll hear from our correspondent in a moment first this report. people in gaza woke up to a scene of destruction and. this was all that was left of the t.v. station run by hamas. the israeli military said it was a strategic target it gave a warning that the strike was about to happen but the attacks still cause panic among local residents. as soon as we saw the rockets we ran away from the house we are civilians we don't have weapons and rockets so soon as we heard the shelling we escaped. here also on the israeli side of the border. most of hamas rockets are intercepted by israel's defense system but some missiles have hit residential buildings including this one in the southern israeli town of ashkelon one man

a palestinian labor was killed here people in the city are afraid and we have been living here in adversity in a southern neighborhood for many years through at least four rounds of warfare the buildings are very old the building where i live has no protection no protected area no shelter no protected stack case. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has sent troops reinforcements to the border with gaza and he's now weighing up the country's next move there is a lot at stake. last night's therapy of violence between the two sides is the worst in more than four years and threats to derail recent peace moves the united nations and other countries in the region are urging both israel and hamas to pull back from the brink before it's too late. correspondent tony kraemer has just returned to israel from gaza target what's happening in gaza now.

well we're getting heavy full extent these are still unconfirmed reports such apparently a ceasefire saval they say a calm has been reached with the mediation off egypt the u.n. and other countries between palestinian factions and israel this is still on concern because policy inspections have basically said we would hold of it also israel would stop its tie and israel usually in these cases says they would reserve the right to respond to any impression we have seen. over the afternoon of rocket attacks on southern israel as well as s. strikes in gaza the situation is still a very fluid and we have to wait and see whether this translate into an exit calm over the next hours but we're talking about what is effectively the biggest flare up in violence for four years is this really all about sunday's botched israeli special forces right. i think it's

a combination of factors i mean you have to see that there has been a lot of pressure on gaza on all levels of the economic level and did general situation on the humanitarian situation but also it seems that hamas and other militant and political factions in gaza have been under the impression that they are. finding some understandings medhi ated by egypt again and by the u.n. with israel for a longer term if not a truce but then a longer term period of calm and this incident on sunday evening actually broke all of that it went against all these red lines and so they felt compelled to respond and that probably led also to this very hour to this escalation of violence your back in jerusalem now much later than you do a vigil intended what happened. well i mean in cars they always have to expect the

unexpected and as i said i mean people are thinking they're going into period of more calm but then this incident happened on sunday and it's always very difficult and restricted to go in and out of gaza as a foreigner at least but of course sometimes the border then in those. times is closed in this case hamas prevented foreign journalists for a certain time to leave the gaza strip because of the incident on sunday having said that i have to stress that it's much much more difficult also for gazans to actually ever leave gaza they're very restricted in their movements even in times of such as collations and also in times of war not just in terms of this this this cease fire if it doesn't fight if it's confirmed that it does hold it must be made much more difficult something from the palestinian side given that there are conflicting voices coming from coming out of gaza which well

it's not such a conflicting where voices when it comes know to a commune the palestinian factions has actually post quite a united front but what sometimes is the difference is what to what extent you know they would like to respond to an incident like that on sunday or to the nature of their response. but in general they i mean you seen a statement by them say that they would go for a cease fire they were all ready to respond to this incident on sunday led to the escalation so let's see a whether this all translate at this point in time now also again into a period of calm or a cease fire. kraemer in jerusalem thank you. germany's chancellor has addressed the european parliament in strasburg outlining her vision for a future europe i'm going to mak a unique is to reject what she called national ngo ism and repeated her calls for

a common european approach to migration policy and she went on to tell the lawmakers that europe must take its fate into its own hands on foreign and security policy thought. we should be working on the idea of one day creating a real european army if you. saw a small but then zonk little guy has shown clergy young said four years ago a united european army would show the world that there will never be another war between european countries. it would not be an army against nato i mean really. rather it could serve as a useful complementary force to nato and no one intends to question the classic

alliances. i did a bit about hoffman is at the european parliament in the straw. welcome mats so recently saw and heard enthusiastic applause heckling for this idea of a european army it's not a new idea so why the extreme reactions. it's not a new idea but it's the first time that the german chancellor put her weight fully behind it but you know we should talk to somebody who's really involved with this and that's david mcallister who is standing next to me who is also the head of the foreign affairs committee of the european parliament and of course a member of the european peoples party which is the party of angular machall still mr mcallister were you surprised that i'm going to put her full weight behind european army here no i wasn't surprised i would like to commend the chance to have

to say today because she made very clear that she supports our policy in the european parliament that we are calling for a closer cooperation on foreign affairs on security and on defense and that the way forward is to eventually create a european defense union and this includes of course european armed forces what did you make of the booing i mean there was applause standing ovations at the end but there was pronounced doing from i guess the right wing populists of the parliament were you surprised. the chances got a huge majority of support today in the european parliament across party lines colleagues stood up and applauded for this great speech but yes there was some occasional booing from the far right i don't think this behavior is appropriate is it is inappropriate when the head of government comes to the open parliament but we have to regretfully accept this behavior these right wing radicals are the real enemies of you know don't we have to get used to this because some polls are

projecting even more right wing populists in the parliament after next year's election well the next u.p.a. lectures are going to be tough it is clear and we are seeing that from the far right the radicals against europe starting their big march against this european parliament the best recipe against these right wing populace is a high turnout and to always argue fact based because these right wing populists are always giving very simple very simplistic answers to very complex questions i still believe that the huge the silent majority. he in europe will stand up and say no to these radicals did you have a feeling that i get a makeover today as the german chancellor was a lame duck because of what is happening at home she's no longer going to be the head of the c.d.u. or did you really have the feeling you had a powerful chancellor who can shape the future of europe i think our colleagues of european parliament today saw once again a very powerful chairman. discussing the important issues we are dealing with in the european union and also with a clear vision and i do hope that some

a cool will remain chancellor after she gives up as a party leader in germany until the end of this election period in germany what was your main takeaway of her speech my main take of her speech was fact she was addressing all the main issues we're discussing in the european union from a german point of view and i really would like to commend her call for a closer cooperation on phone of security and defense on the one hand and i also like that she was very clear when it comes to the rule of law that she make the end of european union is a union of common values and this includes democracy the rule of law just to name two david mcallister talking to us thank you very much phil with that we go back to you to pull it out. and strasburg fact here. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world french prime minister eduardo phillipe has left a ceremony to mark the third anniversary of the paris terror attacks about one

largest whether it's main machines like ferrari and mother and his or fashion houses like armani good she dodge and gabbana brands like these a stand for italy's economic power is new government wants to radically cut taxes to help spur growth but that could eventually lead to high levels of debt that break e.u. budgetary rules so in late october for the first time ever the european commission rejected a draft budget submitted by a member states italy because despite its strong industrial base italy punches below its weight in several key areas for example economic growth although it's launched a number of programs in the last decade to help kick start the investment the sun european country remains stubbornly below average compared to the emu so italian leaders today have to submit an amended budget rome has vowed not to setting up a clash that will probably ripple into markets. issued new bonds on tuesday

a clear test of investor confidence uncertain buyers demand more return for the risk potentially costing the country more yet bond yields remain stable a sign that buyers still have faith in italian bonds but borrowing costs for rome have risen during the budget fight ratings agencies are partly responsible fitch and s. and p. downgraded their outlook on italian debt to negative moody's cut their rating to just about junk the fear is that italy's debt could get too expensive throwing the country into a fiscal crisis and indeed the budget dispute is about politics more than finance italy's populist coalition won office by decrying brussels involvement and lauding self governance echoes of which are still heard on italian streets. are we not a sovereign state are we not three to decide our own destiny this is what i mean the factions of certainly being part of the european union and being one of the founding countries of the european union's italy has to respect certain

restrictions and certain rules but i also think it's right that italy has a certain autonomy to try to solve local problems from which the e.u. keeps its distance. while a matter passing on the east euro zone members are meanwhile standing with brussels fearful that italy's teetering debt load will make it the next greece if not far worse under its new budget powers the e.u. can find italy for budget deficit breaches. but the bloc would need months to sanction a member state but then the markets would probably have delivered their own verdict . about markets paul shares time five percent in the u.s. dragging other tech shares down all over the world today suppliers of mobile phone parts across the globe it said that their largest customer widely taken to be a poll asked them to materially reduce shipments investors now fear that the fox or i phone is not selling as well as in the past apple is already under pressure after posting disappointing earnings earlier this month but then that would no longer

report the sales numbers for its flagship smartphone bestest critic criticized that decision fearing a lack of transparency in the company's books. it's going straight to our markets first one and done a cope in front. loses forty billion dollars market value is that serious or just chickenfeed for a company that big. well i'm sure it was a really dark day yesterday for investors holding apple shares when their share was really a dropping by a five percent i've already taken a look at the performance off of the apple shares this year they were actually gaining by ten per cent so certainly this is not going to make shareholders happy but in general nobody really has to warry when we take a look at the performance off the apple share we always see quite some volatility and they are why well we have to remember apple should gather with amerzone they're the two most valued companies in the world so everybody is expecting them to

deliver pretty much all the time whenever there's the news that a product like the latest i phone might not be selling as good as they were hoping for everybody pretty much at the market is freaking down selling their shares and then we see something what happened last night but i really don't think that we have to worry about the company. the performance in general is still very strong also when we take a look for example at the i pad pro that was just released a couple of days ago it seems this is going to be another success story for apple so most likely the shares in the next days will recover again. no hope in frankfurt thank you. that's all your business now to fill thanks so much i get hot but tributes are being paid to comic book creator stan lee who died on monday aged ninety five it was a crazy force behind the marvel comics with artist jack kirby dreamed up by comic

superheroes like the avengers and the x.-men he's writing and imagination helped transform comics as a genre. he was the man who revolutionized comic books stan lee superhero of the marvel universe helps create iconic characters that have gripped generations. he's really an inspiration for anyone who wants to follow any kind of dream no matter what it is and he gave us the school superheroes that everyone can kind of look up to no matter who you are incredibly say like he's do you kind of one of taught me how to read a little bit you know it's like. one of the greatest of all times to for the comic books. while at marvel in the one nine hundred sixty s. lee helped to reshape the comic book with complex characters and sophisticated plots but his most famous character almost didn't come to be here is lee recalling the time he pitched the idea of spider-man a troubled teenager to marvel my publisher said stan you have lost it he said first

of all nobody likes spiders you can call it heroes by their man secondly a teenager can be a hero we can only be a sidekick and lastly be said you say he's got all kind of problems don't you understand danny de niro heroes don't add problems at troy very roads and their job what i. really didn't know what his fans wanted and his relationship with them is an important part of his legacy. his war is fantasy he says which i. think is. dangerous but here i think it's a personal you. move on i remarkable life from the film and culture and it's a scots rock for welcome scots that will let's start with few favorites.

still favorite marvel superhero is that there's a it's not a very successful like spider-man i didn't think he would have been spotted i would have in mind what are you accepting because i mean you know there's something about you know he was a underappreciated underpaid journalists so for deterrence is something that really touched touches the heart when i when i think about it now i don't know i don't. three comics when you're a kid and when i was growing up and spider-man it was so different than the other comics because he was funny he was the normal he had like normal problems with his girlfriend with his family you know had problems paying his rent and whatever it just seemed really normal world alongside this you know magic amazing superpower world i think that's what really set him apart for me and for i think for a lot of people who really love stanley's comics i do think that that sort of rootedness in reality was one of the reasons that his character stan lee's characters was so memorable yeah i think i think that's really what set him apart i mean he has stuff you have to think of the world of comics before stanley in the one nine hundred fifty s. there's a lot of censorship comics became quite bland and there's an actual superman

superman batman before used to be a bit darker than a quite cleaned up they were it was very cartoonish it was very two dimensional very simple characters very black and white and what stanley did is he brought in the real world quite literally i mean spider-man is set in new york it's not a fantasy world it's actual new york you brought in real characters who had real problems they had neuroses they had ordinary issues see how they some were drug addicts some some somewhere somewhere you know full of themselves on the egotistical and so on and he brought in real politik politics as well this is the one nine hundred sixty s. i mean he created black panther for goodness sake he inspired by the black power movement in the one nine hundred sixty so we have to create a superhero that reflects what's happening on the streets literally of our cities and that was utterly new and it really transformed the whole medium of comic books and brought the sort of realities of america at that time into this what had been

thought a very childish form and made it very very grown up. his legacy then. as well as going beyond you as you how do you have you have generations of men who have who was started off as boys and continue this into adult hood yes very much so and i mean of course you have this whole second. and wave of fame and success when so many of his comic books were made into into movies particularly now in the last ten years as marvel has exploded and basically transform hollywood with its marvel films i mean the marvel films the last ten years or so the most successful franchise of all time something like twenty four billion dollars a box office worldwide that's really changed the way we think about movies and that really has to do a lot with this idea that stanley had of combining pop culture and and and sort of social issues and reality i mean that the that sort of myth making within a very real and recognizable world is i think his greatest legacy and recognize within his field with the others watching what he was doing that the d.c.s.

of this well yeah though they never quite got it right i mean at the time he was very cutting edge when he got so much success a lot of comic books tried to copy and we have had much more sort of serious and darker comics that have sort of copied stanley. d.c. sort of filmmaking is doing now is trying to go in there with direction of marvel but they can't quite get it they can't quite get the sort of the same touch of sort of humor and irreverence that stanley always had while still making it realistic butoh can do stuff thanks so much scott. stanley. this reminder for our top stories at this hour the united nations called for restraint and made the upsurge in violence between israel and the palestinians seven palestinians a death after israel responded with ass trucks to missiles from medicines in the gaza strip as it's up to date most of the top of the hour of course around the clock on a website that's t w dot com of the. e-coli
