you. this is deja vu news live from berlin the israeli military hints at a ground invasion of gaza as the airstrikes intensified. israeli airstrikes topple a high rise in gaza the escalation in violence has killed dozens of people and left the city blocks in ruins thomas says several of its top commanders have been killed . also coming up parts break in anger as russia mourns the 7 children and 2 staff members killed in tuesday's school shooting. and the german government has signed
1:01 am
off on a bill with tougher climate goals that comes after germany's high court said the current climate protection laws didn't go far enough. imo include kraft good to have you with us more violence between israel and the palestinians israeli air strikes in gaza intensified today and troops are massing along the border here in israeli air strike destroys a high rise housing a hamas affiliated t.v. channel. health officials in gaza say the death toll has risen to more than 50 people there including 14 children hamas has fired thousands of rockets into israel many have been intercepted but at least 6 people have died from those attacks. 'd top diplomat says a broader conflict looms if hostilities don't end of mediately the u.s.
1:02 am
says it's sending a special envoy to the region in a bid to ease tensions. israeli tanks on route to the gases strip it's still not clear whether a ground operation will be the next escalation in this conflict currently israel is still carrying out its counter attack on gaza city with an air offensive after the massive rocket attacks on tel aviv the israeli military announced it had killed many hamas leaders including the brigade commander for gaza city. and israel's defense minister did not leave much hope for an early end to the fighting . our armed forces will continue striking until there is total quiet and for a long period of time only once we achieve that can we talk about the escalation there is no finishing date hamas seemed unfazed by the heavy damage and the many casualties in gaza but for the 1st time since these most recent hostilities began hamas leader ismail honey a said he could take steps to defuse the conflict. if israel wants to escalate we
1:03 am
are ready for it. and if it wants to stop we're also reading that. despite those words hamas and islamic jihad have been firing off their missiles almost nonstop and mainly at the nearby israeli coastal city of ashkelon there are many wounded there too and one soldier died when his vehicle was struck by an anti-tank missile for the moment at least it does not look like the actual fighting will let up. joined now by steven cook a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations and washington welcome to the program what are the risks of prolonged conflict. oh well i think that it's clear that the israeli military and hamas are laying the groundwork for a more probe long conflict if you go back to 24 teams where there was a month long war between hamas and israel. the proximate cause of that conflict
1:04 am
was for less that was far less at stake in there is here in the current conflict how mosses demonstrated an ability that the israelis did not anticipate which is to basically put all of israel in jeopardy that's not something any israeli politician defense minister or military officer can tolerate so it looks like with the call up and massing of ground forces and continue the airstrikes and rocket fire everybody is settling in for a much longer bloodier in prolonged conflict you mention stakes so how are the political pressures on both sides shaping the course of events. well of course that is part of the narrative that is emerging here on one side you have prime minister benjamin netanyahu is fighting for his political survival just before this began really president handed the mandate to form a government to one of netanyahu his rivals he clearly benefits from the situation
1:05 am
right now where political factions may decide a change in leadership is not the most appropriate being how mass is also in a bid for leadership recently the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas was forced to cancel elections the 1st elections in more than a dozen years because the polls 'd show that he would lose they have now position themselves as leaders as protectors of muslim jerusalem and are seeking to benefit as the primary resistance to to israel those dynamics also lend themselves to a probably a con clip let's zoom out now we have you know joe biden he's an experienced foreign policy pro he's been criticized quite a bit for his handling so far of the situation what is the u.s. role here exactly. well president biden as vice president saw the
1:06 am
futility of trying to force israelis and palestinians into constructive negotiations and has decided to take a very hands off approach to palestinian and israeli palestinian israeli conflict. he has dispatched an envoy to see what can be done here to deescalate the situation and newt has issued a statement that has been broadly supportive of israel and that is why he's essentially come in for criticism here among some quarters including within his own party but it's hard to imagine what exactly the united states can do at this point both sides can on escalate. or can president has the kind of resources at their disposal in order to pull beside support when they are intent on fighting. or have to leave it there for now steven cook from the council foreign relations in washington thanks for your time.

a miracle and government had flung to school exams and will give an extra because a result they were told to improve the law on climate protection the environment minister is calling it a success this. is the ruling from the federal constitutional cooled 13 days ago was a surprise but ultimately a good surprise for climate protection. brought you think so. after the slap in the face from germany's highest court it said the government's climate plan for the period after 2030 was not good enough too heavy a burden it ruled was being placed on future generations the revamped goals a more ambitious climate neutrality for germany 5 years earlier than planned transport industry and agriculture to be emissions neutral by 2045. previously germany to cut climate damaging gases by just over half in 10 years now
1:13 am
the reduction will be nearly 2 thirds. the environment minister thinks the government has earned a pat on the back. germany is at the forefront because we have a concrete plan which we are putting into law saying precisely how we can get a greenhouse gas neutrality for an industrialized country that's a special achievement which other countries also recognize. and. younger people for instance those in the fridays for future movement are demanding that these must not remain empty promises some activists say the government is still not doing enough to avert climate disaster. in order to secure the younger generations right to a future and to bring climate policy here into line with the paris agreement germany's greenhouse gas emissions have to be reduced by at least 70 percent by 2030 and germany needs to be climate neutral by 2040. the

significantly more for groceries clothing and cars and apes. then in the month before as the country's economic recovery pushes up prices from pandemic figures showed wednesday figures released wednesday showed a jump of over 4 percent from a year earlier with prices rising across almost every category economists expected prices to rebound after more than a year of depressed the mad but some fear that rising inflation could force the federal reserve to increase interest rates making borrowing more expensive. so why are prices going up demand is rising as stores restaurants and theaters reopen government stimulus payments have put more cash in consumers' pockets and factories are facing bottlenecks as they gear up production to meet demand one example used car prices spiked by 10 percent in april the largest increase since record keeping began in 1953 due to the shortage of software chips slowing down car production.
1:18 am
joins me for more louise good to see you should the average american be worried about rising prices. i would say you know that the average american is already paying higher prices and not only at the gaza stage as you mentioned but also when it comes to buy it buying a basic product such as toilet paper but it's also important to understand of the year over year increase in prices he somehow distort it sends over d's timeless year the u.s. economy was mostly shut down if the current trend will continue to pen's on several factors among den supply will catch up with demand as the economy reopens have for example as out of makers deal with the sort inch of semiconductors they cannot keep up with the high volumes of demand but on the other hand the prices of used cars are is skyrocketing for now the federal reserve thinks about all these environments
1:19 am
is it transitory but it's true that some economies businesses and investors are not so sure that that will be the case now you mention the fed there but if the fed does raise interest rates let's say that would mean higher borrowing costs well with that nina for households and businesses i would say that it will not impact households us much jenelle's sense if something good came out of these horrible pandemic is that saving rates of 4 american race substantially actually the current levels are nearly 3 times higher done in the sixty's and americans use some of the of those stimulus checks to pay down some debt so indeed some regard an increasing rates would not be a significant headwind for businesses though probably this small and medium companies will be the ones to suffer especially when. help from the government and for them to stimulus comes to an end next results depending on who you are there thank you very much. now let's take
1:20 am
a look at some other business stories making headlines. now speaking of prices as we do just there are gas prices in the u.s. to a more than 6 year high on wednesday 5 days after a hacking attack on the country's critical colonial pipeline reversing the fall in prices over the past month the strain it supplies has made has been made worse as more americans hoard gasoline for fear of shortages. the e.u. has sharply revised its growth forecast for this year and next the european commission says a ramp up vaccination drive and the blocks a landmark recovery plan will lift europe out of recession predicting growth will hit 4.3 percent this year. turning to germany german chancellor i'm going to cabinet has approved an updated climate law that would see the country reach carbon neutrality sooner and tighten emissions targets for many sectors over the next decade the plan requires europe to europe's largest economy to cut carbon emissions
1:21 am
65 percent by 2030 and achieve a net 0 by no later than 2045 there we were it comes after germany's highest court demanded berlin provide specific emissions targets to show it wasn't unfairly burdening future generations with the bulk of emissions cuts. and my colleague stephen beardsley joins us now stephen these targets are expected to cost the german economy $12000000000.00 euros how would you rate that as an investment well i would say considering the ultimate amount of money that they probably would have to spend $12000000000.00 isn't that much on top of a massive amount of money they're going to have to spend over the next 2030 years and germany can afford it people want german money they want to buy german debt that is they can get it for cheap and you know germany is not going a problem raising those funds the idea is all also always been that if germany or any other nation can really crack this not early that is how to get to carbon
1:22 am
neutral production how to create. carbon neutral processes and they can export that german as a manufacturing nation as an exporting nation and the idea is that by setting these goals in general the german industry will be able to profit from it later on there is obviously a flipside of that and that is the disruption factor what happens when you put the brakes on otherwise perfectly good economic activity out of carbon emissions reasons what happens when workers who aren't prepared to shift production methods are found without work so these are the things that ultimately can be problematic when you shift all the goals for value spoken of germany as an export country as a manufacturing country how has a german industry reacted to these updated goals and the general line coming from german industry has been they want reliable goals they want reliability and they criticize what they see as a very short sighted or very quick decision to move things forward without really explaining how they're going to pay for it and how they're going to support it over the years where they really want is they want 2 things they want money to help
1:23 am
support offsets the expense of doing this and they also want cheaper energy because a lot of these companies their carbon balance depends on the energy that they're using that comes from coal and that there is up their balance if they do use it from ruble energy then they're in better stead so what that means is they need to see faster renewable energy transitions that's what this plan purports to add to they also want to see money for dirtier industries that aren't going to profit that much from renewable energy cement steel for example definitely a balancing act for industry stephen beardsley there for us thank you very much. staying in europe luxembourg's tax breaks for amazon were not illegal that's a decision of the e.u. is a general court according to the verdict amazon had not received an unfair competitive advantage in a big win for the online retailer the court annoyed by a pre by a previous decision by the european commission which had ordered amazon to pay 250000000 euros in back taxes our correspondent chelsea believing has more. today's
1:24 am
court ruling is a major setback for the e.u. which has emerged as one of the most aggressive regulators of the attack and this isn't the 1st time the e.u. has lost a case in trying to force some of these particularly big american tech giants to pay more taxes here in europe the e.u. also was overruled by the general court in trying to claw back about 13000000000 euros worth of taxes from apple i think this will raise questions about the e.u. strategy in trying to combat some of these clever tax avoidance schemes that are used among a lot of large multinationals but what it also will do is likely add more pressure on global leaders to come up with an international tax system we've already seen the biden administration propose a global minimum tax or here in europe leaders seem to be on board and there is hope that they will be able to come up with some sort of system by the summer to uganda now where

raise interest rates earlier than expected. etc must thanks for watching. the. climate change was the spark that made her take action. cloudy augustina else in portugal is suing 33 european countries and a forest fires in her homeland are far too common. with a group of other young people she's heading to the european court of human rights. with success. some good strong. next on. going to the conflict zone with tim sebastian america's
1:29 am
circuitry of scale downs and a blueprint was in ukraine last week visiting the families also lives of comfort and support for the culture of the russian troops against the numbers close to its border flood issues weak is ukraine's foreign minister junichiro clear about what you get out of the for what was here last in conflict zones. the 1516 minutes of d w. a little guys this is the 77 percent stuff up for africa suits to sleep issues and share ideas. you know are there we're not afraid to touch on delicate topic. because population is growing.
1:30 am
and young people clearly have the solution to your job. is 77 percent return on d w. hi everyone welcome to focus on europe i'm happy to have you with me here in europe we really are feeling the effects of the climate crisis with extreme heat waves droughts and out of control fires portugal has been hit particularly hard by forest fires over 100 people lost their lives in 2 deadly blazes in 2017 as
1:31 am
wave after wave of flames closed in on the country's cities rescue workers were totally overwhelmed and roads cut off that has left this young portuguese woman claudia to r.t. augustine you know wondering what kind of world are we really leaving behind for children european governments she says are not doing enough to protect the climate she feels they are literally putting her life at risk and so she's taking legal action against 33 countries in europe to change that. this side lives cloudy of. speechless. she can still remember when everything here was green. but ever since the wildfires the pines are all dead. it makes me very sad to see such an amazing place that was destroyed by the
1:32 am
fire. this is very symbolic because it means that it will keep pets but if nothing it's then this will keep happening in other places from from our planet and we should fight to change that. wildfires rage through portugal often in 2017 the fire has claimed the lives of some 120 people and were deemed the worst in living memory. as each summer becomes hotter and drier than the last the risk of devastation rises. 2 cloudy a blames the climate crisis that's why the nursing student from malaria north of loose bone is stepping up the pressure but since her voice wasn't being heard enough on the streets she took her case to the european court of human rights and sued half of europe. i'm taking this case against 33 countries because one day i want to be in
1:33 am
a world that's healthy and no danger. to his fellow plaintiffs are her siblings and her 3 friends her brother martin is 18 and suffers from asthma they say more and more people are getting sick from the increasing heat and fire is. going to change breathing problems will just get worse. people like me won't get better just it's going to get worse and worse their parents are supportive of the lawsuit order to reason mota is 47 years old and grew up in germany she says she has lived a carefree life but can understand her children's concerns for the future that's why she is glad that the judges in strasbourg have classified the case is urgent i am a little girl she's only 9 what will her life be like. i feel guilty i didn't really do anything by god i didn't contribute to the crisis. but i also
1:34 am
didn't think about it a little less fight it like my kids i feel bad about that. cloutier does not want to blame all the generations after all they couldn't have known any better but those who deny the climate crisis are fooling themselves. when people don't believe in climate change i think that those people are the ones who feel more guilty because they don't want to believe it because it hurts it hurts a lot to think what they are we doing to our planet. lawsuits like this so what the irish human rights organization global legal action network specializes in the strategy of the lawyer gerry liston and his team was risky the european court of human rights could have referred to national judicial channels but the judges have admitted these young people's case. but failing to adopt the nexus
1:35 am
theory emissions reproached it was used better to avoid peace how destructive consequences governments are to be discriminating on the basis. tracing. generations. greater risk of future harm. to me just like the show with the lawyer means he's referring to agreements from the european convention of human rights and the paris climate accord to keep global warming well below 2 degrees celsius as pledged countries would have to make a much bigger effort to reduce greenhouse gases cloudier is optimistic and believes this can still be achieved the case is just one of the ways pressure on governments is mounting. a lot of people come to was then they thank us for what we are doing and that makes me very happy but we still have a lot of work to to do and
1:36 am
a long way so i think that we have we we have. the power and we want to do something so we are very hopeful. it remains to be seen when a verdict will be reached. for now the $33.00 states charged a still fighting against the lawsuit. now well european governments will have to take a formal position now by the end of may after a court rejected their argument that the proceedings were not urgent. germany is trying to ramp up its energy transition but when it comes to building new wind turbines in the north and baltic sea there is some pretty explosive danger down on the seabed more than one and a half 1000000 tons of explosives ammunitions from the 2 world wars have all just been sunk into the sea for years this out of sight out of mind approach worked just
1:37 am
fine but not anymore. their job is to find i mean mission collect data and gauge the damage 2 world wars have left behind and the other should flow. we need still down there were munitions from the 1st world war that was more than a 100 years ago now a century later we're still dealing with the aftermath all. the scientist from the home center for ocean research and killed was to shed light on the subject. with the help of these autonomous underwater vehicles he wants to get a better idea of the exact locations and quantities of munitions dump it to the ocean. it's a systematic survey of explosive waste sites in the oceans and the 1st of its kind
1:38 am
that mission is crucial i. think her mission is so important because it's meant that we finally started to compile a comprehensive infantry of munitions a look emotions where there were certain groups who would want to leak. in late summer toxicologist who are out on the back to investigate the danger posed by explosive devices underwater. the risk of them suddenly exploding is one thing of even more hazardous other substances they release as they corrode. a knowledge of concentrations. these substances can be cost an agenda explains professor adman masa head of toxicology in kenya. government and i'm in the race and we expect more and more of these exclusives to spread through the sea why the mayor does it and the more the greenies a main thrust the bear more substances are released into the environment rather than of us on this all we need to monitor this closely with us so we don't end up
1:39 am
in a situation where certain fish are so easy to become too contaminated for through the meal which that's who opens it up to the shop for bread. along the entire german coast scientists have already been able to detect traces of explosives in the water . here in the bay of li back they are using muscles to investigate the level of contamination. the baltic sea is only about 20 meters deep up there. in the past 4 years a lot of munitions were swept under the proverbial drug here. several months earlier muscles were placed at various locations some closer to 9 initial sites some further away. can be found in the box this is where the muscles are the older ones are attached to the cord the younger ones on the books but screw them or the whole. muscles
1:40 am
filter nutrients out of the seawater by passing it through their bodies. that makes them ideally suited to help detect toxins. the test found evidence of compounds typical of explosives in the muscles and in the water samples . the banks of do not explicitly fail and are still trace levels and christopher no we don't have to worry about consuming fish in the baltic or mussels from the be of you because what somebody wants a consumer but the problem is pride rests. on the expeditions into the baltics the every such as worthy and dry net spared no ethernet. the hazardous waste from the war has not only had a major impact on the environment it has also come at a considerable cost to locate it and carry it away but findings show the agence he of doing just that. gets you to make i have plenty of food to send video
1:41 am
as well as images from the underwater vehicle is that i've documented what's really down there is that the. ticking time bombs on the seabed no real secret war. findings have shown we can keep pretending they are. watching ships is always fun but for europe it's more than just a past time that's because he also sees more than passing ships since the bosphorus in istanbul leads to the black sea and is a gateway to the mediterranean for russia and also because in some places it is just 700 meters or about 2000 feet wide that means that when a foreign warship passes through europe would be sure to know about it.
1:42 am
this man looks like any other tourist on a ferry taking in the sights of istanbul. but you know this ship is actually observing the ships roughly $50000.00 pass through the bosphorus each year nothing special for most observers but for him each ship tells a story. for example freight ships like this one often travel to the crimean peninsula that russia has an extent but i'm interested in what's going on. they really had it where they say they are do they really have the cognitive they say they have 30 good for film of the face versus one of the most important streets in the world connecting the black sea with the mediterranean it's 30 kilometers of always fleet an important rule in the push and pull between the world's great powers. access to the black sea is
1:43 am
important to nato and it's also important for russia to have access to the west to the engine and mediterranean sea we're talking about maybe i was just a few days later who should choose as an example when tensions last truce between russia and ukraine russian warships pass through the bosphorus on their way to the black sea. he then discovered a cargo ship that he believes was transporting me to military equipment to a romanian port in the black sea. when he returns home he rushes to put his discoveries and photos on twitter. there is a whole community of structures around the world. what they point to it can be quite sensational at times. you know to feel the fact that russia was planning to intervene in the syrian conflict 1st became clear from the increased number of naval ships in the bosphorus i was able
1:44 am
to record it. just how they were equipped on deck apart from the russian naval ships there were also civilian cargo ships we were able to prove they were transporting weapons to syria to participate every check that. you are able to pull . apart from arms smuggling. who runs his own consultancy analyzing maritime up to 50 has also observed shipments of illegal waste or animals being transported in inhumane conditions. he says it's not spying because the information is freely accessible. he's also not scared of getting into trouble at least not yet. we want to get them out what turkey's going through a difficult phase when it comes to freedom of opinion. i share my observations openly on twitter net but i try to refrain from making any political judgment. public opinion the country living on the moment. of course is apartment also has
1:45 am
a few across the bosphorus and he stays in touch with other sponsors 247. we don't have to warn each other in advance if ships that save somewhere i know roughly when it should arrive here you. know how fast the different models travel humans can be there is a show you've got to be given who's in the us. and so from his perch europe the ship should we be watching the next time history unfolds at his doorstep. china is expanding its economic influence here in europe and for those people who've come here.
