for their aggression i say here tonight their blood be on their heads. in tel aviv palestinian militants overwhelmed israel's defense system with a barrage of rockets it's been many years since residents of the coastal city have been forced to shelter in their cellars the palestinian islam is say they too are ready for conflict. but almost if israel wants to escalate we're ready for it and if it wants to stall for also ready if they want to remove their hand over jerusalem we're ready. nihilists also broke out between israeli arabs and jews in israel. a state of emergency has been declared in load and air of protesters clashed with israeli police and. it's the worst violence since 2014 and there are fears it could become a full scale war world powers now pleading for both sides to put down their weapons

. we are deeply concerned about the escalation between israel and those launching rockets from gaza and we call for restraint and for calm. but now both sides are counting their dead. and hoping for victory. and journalists. would string us earlier from gaza city he says that there has been heavy bombing there in the past 24 hours have a list. today and last night from don't actually the was very intense targets. some. minister of interior buildings whitely that many quoted a quarter of the police were damaged and destroyed some other offices as well many many private houses were with targeted israel is saying that these houses

belong to the some of the activists of hamas and islamic jihad we are not sure about that. some private houses where were targeted. flats and boatman's some streets as well where where where bombed. the shelling or spin old tonight in the morning there were some rockets fired from gaza as well and in the morning so it was very very very hard night for the costs and let's get more now we are joined from jerusalem where correspondent tanya kramer has been reporting in time to you have actually been speaking with the israelis here talking with the military give us a sense of what their campaign is aiming at. well at the moment israel is mostly using the f. holes to launch strikes against targets of hamas and other militant groups in gaza understand that is the strategy for now to take out as many pre-marked targets.

as possible and those lists actually worked and you know in times in between by the israeli intelligence so the next step would be then to deploy ground forces talking then about a ground invasion but there is the sense here this is not the time yet so there is certainly a military build up around gaza and the country is in a massive operation and you just heard from my colleague in gaza about the consequences in that there's a massive operation going on in gaza from the israeli side but the question now is of course you know whether this will expand further and. or not actually in the coming days or weeks depending on how long disco's and that is the big fear among so many times the u.n. special coordinator for the middle east in fact saying that there is a danger of full scale war what is being done if you can give us a sense diplomatically right now in order to deescalate this conflict. but

of course there are cause specially by the international community to deescalate the situation but we don't get a sense yet that here on the ground both parties have an interest at least not for now because those have been ramping up their respironics and their accents in the past 48 hours and basically you know there's also pressure you have to say in israel to respond politically at least the political pressure to respond what is perceived as an aggression by hamas and other militant groups from gaza of course on the more people level you know everybody's concerned borders to happen next and where this what will end and what results it will actually bring we are expecting as well mediation efforts it has been the case in previous of such rounds mostly it's stand egypt or qatar or of course also the u.n. and other states that are trying to mediate between the parties but at the moment

you know it's not clear what kind of a place for maneuvering to have and when and whether that will lead to an end to hostilities any time soon tanya kramer with the vote view from jerusalem thank you so much. and here are some other headlines making story making news around the world india's close to 19 death toll past 250001 wednesday but comparisons of official data with that from frontline workers suggest that the true number may be several times higher according to the country's health ministry more than 4200 people died from the virus in the past 24 hours a new daily record. hundreds of mourners have been paying tribute to the victims of a school shooting in the russian city of kasam a makeshift monument was set up outside of the school where a gunman killed 7 children and 2 staff members on tuesday president vladimir putin

has ordered a review of the new. gun control laws. the death toll from 2 weeks of protest in colombia has risen to $42.00 the country's human rights on books month says that most deaths are due to excessive use of force by the police colombia's president even duke a has visited the city of cali site of the worst and most violent clashes. the german cabinet has approved more ambitious targets for lowering greenhouse gas emissions it follows a court ruling that said that a $21000.00 climate protection law did not go far enough now chancellor angela merkel's ruling conservatives are under pressure to add some muscle to their climate policy they are facing an election year challenge from the green party and the environment is a deciding factor for many voters. it is the young who have shouted the loudest lately about a looming climate disaster earlier this year the german constitutional court ruled

in a case brought mainly by young people that the government is not moving fast enough waiting until 2030 to impose tough burdens on polluters the court said violates the right to a clean environment and the young would be worst affected because they will live with more of the consequences the government knew it had to make changes. we've agreed that we have to act faster as our basic law says you can't just have freedoms for the present generations you have to think about the freedoms for the generations to come. the bill the government is now introducing brings forward the target date for climate neutrality by 5 years by 2045 transport industry and agriculture it is hoped will in effect no longer in meat in the greenhouse gases and the road to that goal of greening the german economy has been mapped out more precisely 2 by 2030 emissions or to fall by 65 percent compared

with 99010 percent more ambitious than under the current plan will it be enough to stay on track in the coming years campaigners are not yet convinced we have. 2045 but now it's really time to. because we don't have. the new plan and should mean the pace of climate action will speed up noticeably sooner some worry poorer people here will end up paying the price if environmental taxes are increased. but for now younger germans are demanding climate justice and politicians have been forced to listen. and a reminder now of our top story the crisis escalates in the middle east where israeli airstrikes on gaza have killed at least $43.00 palestinians hamas has fired a barrage of rockets into israel killing at least 5 people the u.n.

has warned there is a risk of a full scale war. and we're joined now by avraham barrett he is the former speaker of the knesset that is israel's parliament and the former interim president of israel thank you so much for joining us this afternoon for making time for us here we heard earlier from prime minister netanyahu vowing to make hamas pay a heavy price for firing hundreds of rockets into israel overnight already dozens have died as we've heard in gaza is israel being proportionate in its response. there are no proportions in wars porkies war is a unproportionate measure and the situation is not to the judge immediately what happens not this rule hundreds of rockets on us we were on their side it is what led to eat and what led to it is actually

a joint interesting joint motivation interesting game coming denominator between hamas and netanyahu is conservative government both good not to want to give power to the policy no authority and make peace with it that hamas wants to take over the palestinian authority and promote. its religious and political agenda up in it i mean how does not want to compromise and sit down and. have it written silly issue with a policy unless righty because it really lead eventually to palestinian state so both and i be 5 going against them so hard to interrupt you there and i'd like to ask you a little more about the political dynamics but 1st if we could just focus on the violence on the ground and and israel's partner because we've seen entire blocks for example being leveled in gaza and i'd like to ask you what the justification is for that. i cannot stand here and neither for the government of israel no for the

measures of hamas i say that every citizen be the citizen in gaza all citizen in jerusalem has the rights to live in peace and as long as the leadership did not push and did not do its utmost in order to promote the school city atory missions between the 2 nations is the responsibility of the people and the responsibility of the leadership no he's really reaction is not proportioned you know the hamas reaction or or all action i'm not clued ships made in both those that is really it right to be in government and the hamas religious government is legitimate forces. wow both of them are illegitimate for just as years as you're saying there. that a pretty bold statement there i'd like to just continue with you and ask you a little bit more about the situation though on the ground hamas breaching the israeli defense system last night and we saw heavy damage in the country center what's your explanation for how successful that attack was. you have to

ask somebody else i know about. history or know about intellectual measures i've no clue of the military works ok so it happened this way these attacks thinks this is an outcome of 2 nations onto the teeth and not ready to sit down with each other and discuss the future of both nations rather than to see the eradication in. the morning of the other side i cannot tell you and i will not refer to anything to do with the military measures i think that not needed think it's possible to achieve a comprehensive understanding between the israeli people and the policy and people and whoever does not go this way eventually it's the rotten fruits of peace own investment from i was side is a prime minister netanyahu who delayed and delayed the certainty for everything

concerning peace and quiet and the. seniors and best out in jerusalem in palestine in gaza all over the place hamas on the other hand did not do the same thing they did not want to move forward in order to see down this road and have been wrong strategic term agreement with israel about the future of gaza not the future of the pride not the future of their arrogance not the future of their he priest but the future of gaza and the future of the policy of people this is an illegitimate in the shape that i think it's about time both the israeli people in a democratic measure and the party scene or what i hope in a democratic measure we remove from our horizon horizons. you called both sides illegitimate i'd like to ask you a little bit more about those political dynamics we know netanyahu facing a tough political battle at home opposition parties currently negotiating a coalition to topple him in fact from power how how far would you go when you're criticizing the israeli position right now i mean is this conflict being used as

a distraction and as an effort to facilitate division among the opposition my suspicion is as good as yours are considering that the you know his is only motivation which is very personal he noted to deteriorate the situation but i have no clue i have no foundation for this for the speculation the only thing i can say netanyahu is the prime minister that time after the common again 4 times in the last year in the hospital majority of the israelis said we do not want you as a prime minister and the prime minister even includes issue of who forgot i was with. but that is really covered in supervised by creeks and let me clearly shows he's not illegitimate needed to lead the people into a war. can we talk a bit about how we got here you know because the 1st ration has has been running high it has been boiling over for weeks palestinians for their part calling recent moves to evict them from strategic parts of the city as and they're using these

terms ethnic cleansing illegal they've also pointed to heavy handed israeli police saying you know what do you make of of the responses to those frustrations. i live rhetorics a scythe a look at the facts and a look at his story historically speaking the israeli people and the policy and people missed many opportunities to sit together and have 2 states living in peace each other did not happen did not work for whatever is the reason in the last couple of years especially i would say the last decade though so the israeli government does it at the most to the minish and to minimize and to ridicule the palestinian authority which is by the end of the day the prophet to make peace and tries his utmost to clean hands how laws in various ways from opening the gates for money coming through kind of short term agreements with hamas in gaza everything possible just not to have a comprehensive peace having said that the last couple of weeks were very tragic

and very traumatic the consolation of the policy in the story he created a kind of tension in the kind of frustration of the palestinian state that a party scene this week it is same time there is really brutal measurements against people all over the place especially by the end of the ramadan was not sensitive was not gentle was more military didn't police created another frustration and when you add 2 to 2 to this old you add that they accumulate to. manipulate the cynical attitude of the israeli government towards the israelis see this is from palestinian descent to understand how gaza in the west bank and jerusalem and in israel are all connected into our attic it's all of those who want it the palestinian issue to disappear cannot deny it anymore because here is a state unless we resolve it avraham burg we thank you so much for joining us on

his deputies ryan a call to the nazi judge and war criminal record on friday. keller made the remarks in april but the pressure on him to go grew and grew. it resulted in a d.s.p. ethics investigation and the loss of confidence of the federation's members. and it did such remarks a completely unacceptable and have left us stunned we condemned them in the strongest possible to see if this were. the irony is that keller was appointed to clean up the federation the man to turn things around after a series of corruption scandals. which is what we have to be so transparent that at some point it becomes boring to talk about us that psagot does it with that scene. but kava fell foul of a power struggle at the top of the d.f.t. with his general secretary free to skirt c s the old guard seemingly not ready for

cal is vision for change leaving germany's football federation in need of yet more intervention. and joining us here in the studio to talk more about france keller and the german football federation is chris harrington found dean of sports he didn't last long as president did he know he did not say the german football association has been riddled with scandals for years now he took over for its color in 2019 after his predecessor resigned over accepting of expensive watch you know and that same year he won winemaker of the year so you could argue maybe he should have stuck to what he was better at you know because clearly he failed and one of his goals making the d.s. be is what we call it here in germany so boring you don't want to talk about it the idea that he compares his own vice president to an infamous nazi judge one of the architects of the holocaust. if not the dark is one of the darkest chapters in german history completely no go it should be a 0 tolerance approach you know i like the idea that he is stepping down he does

become the 1st president that has to address his own sports court within the german football association so he'll have his day in court as they say in charlie explain himself you know but right now it's good i think that he's gone in a new direction we're headed towards who could replace him well i like to grow but she could become the 1st female to take over the position she put her hat in the ring in 2019 she didn't win you know she calls football the last big bonfire in the german society she's from the grass roots she's with the amateur sports representative one of those you know so she's very familiar she believes there needs to be a major renewable she thinks there are structural issues within the organization you know i think a lot of people agree and you know when you look at the country you look at angela merkel why not by can we have a female president run this organization you know she has my support but we have to wait and see what happens absolutely had to wait and see in the meantime i mean all this backroom drama it does it have the potential to spill over to the patch well

you know for one it's already been turbulent all the pitch prior to this drama germany having historic losses and so forth you know in the nation's league stumbling their coach is leaving so we have to wait and see thomas willis might be coming back that could be a bit of a boost harrington did have his sports breaking it all down for us as always thank you ok. and with that now you're up to date on t.v. news from chris and myself and all of us here at g.w. thanks for watching. the.
