these are the most intense hostilities that the country has seen in 7 years it's also led to an rapson of street violence between jewish and arab residents of several israeli towns. this arab man was pulled from his car and beaten by a mob of right wing israeli nationalists it was the 1st act of nationalist violence to receive direct condemnation from the prime minister. nothing justifies the lynching of arabs by jews by the lynching of jews by arabs it's unacceptable we will not tolerate this this violence is not us palestinians message to israel and the 3 settlers is clear what. i address my words specifically to america and to israel enough is enough to leave us. we will remain thorns in your eyes we will not leave our homeland we will not leave our country in rwanda for more of. the u.s.

montagne its support for israel in its call for peace on wednesday my expectation is that. this will be. closing down sooner than later but israel has a right to defend itself and its thousands of rockets. your territory israel is preparing ground troops along the gaza border as s trikes targeting hamas militants continue they say many senior commanders have been killed. but the attacks have also claimed the lives of palestinian civilians. neither side is showing any sign of backing down prompting the united nations to warn a full scale civil war. and amid those warnings here are some other developments in the conflict british airways has canceled its flights to and from tel of the of and its safety concerns

they are following many other international carriers who are currently avoiding the region u.s. energy corporation chevron has shut down the tom our natural gas platform off of the israeli coast as a precaution israel says that energy needs will continue to be matt and opponents of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu say that they are freezing talks on forming a coalition to unseat him after israel's inconclusive election here are some other stories making headlines around the world. there are warnings that over a 1000000 people in madagascar are in urgent need of food assistance severe drought has brought the country to the brink of famine according to the world food programme. the un body says that large numbers of children are especially at risk of starvation. western powers have accused china of massive crimes against the

weaker muslim minority turning a u.n. sponsored virtual meeting more importance u.s. ambassador called the situation engine john province one of the worst human rights crises of our time the u.s. says that it will continue speaking up until china stops its quote crimes against humanity. against humanity now migrants in greece have told the w. that they fear police detention despite being legally registered in the country t w has obtained footage from inside the park mesti detention center which is closed to journalists it is funny for char reports on the accusations against greek authorities reza and his friends spend their days looking for somewhere to sleep in . is from afghanistan and it's registered in greece as an asylum seeker. join other about the believing though we have to be a person we have to hide when the police catch us they beat us and forces out then we have nowhere to go we have to live on the street you know we got the girl i'm

going to be able to meet. the social worker who barker shows us the squats where asylum seekers can find shelter in testimony the city used to be safe for refugees but more and more are hiding from the authorities if the police pick them up they're looking at either like the detention or a violent person so most people don't want to be seen by the police after all we need shut out from a jury who also had documents he will speak to up on the street and spent months in a detention center i haven't. thought hunger striking. we didn't know 1st why are we here and for how long going to last one incident was especially traumatic might they have brought this group of police. and everyone really was really but like so many people.

complain or support arbitrary detentions in holding facilities or prisons and human rights violations the authorities tell a different story the government says that push backs are nothing but turkish propaganda and that so-called secret detention sites don't exist and we are on the way to her and our state which is a free removal detention center yet still inexhaustible to the public and. surrounded by the road even this official detention center is hard to find. an aerial view shows a facility that can hold up to 500 detainees surrounded by barbed wire fencing inside there reports of police violence we obtained this exclusive footage from border monitoring violence network an independent watchdog which documents police brutality and in the push backs the video was taken inside her nasty last year the

monitors say violence is systematic the greek government has not responded to our interview requests we show the images to the united nations official responsible for refugees so. shouldn't happen and it's important that the conditions of detention are. worked on collectively but at the same time the asylum service has been you know in the but if you look at the past 3 years the systemic change we're ready. to strengthen itself for the refugees there is little prospect of any immediate improvement in daily life this facility near to saloniki is supposedly an open camp a concrete wall is being built around it to keep people in ironically construction is being commissioned by the united nations' migration agency. and funny char is joining us now standing by in the field funny as we've heard greek authorities

others they have been accused of pushing back migrants in violation of international law what more can you tell us about that exactly human rights organizations have expressed great concern and have said numerous times in the past that greece is involved in illegal pushbacks in fact only on wednesday europe's top human rights body called the regal sorties to put an end to these illegal practices but greece is saying that this is actually fake news and turkish propaganda not ironically or not you know europe's own agency owned border agency frontex is also facing these allegations of being involved in illegal pushbacks and by the way not only push back all the aegean sea when migrants are coming from turkey over sea trying to rival in greece but also already on in between the greek and to push border on greek soil so the various allegations accusations and as i see the reaction so far but the greek also reduced to a rather blunt saying rejecting of these claims is unfunded not a problem that exists is that human rights organizations can create awareness but

they can only make recommendations they cannot inform in force anything on greeks or this is where the european union comes into play they could actually start an infringement process in light of clear indication that human rights violations take place but that has not been the case there is no infringement process whatsoever so far within the european union against greece ok very interesting if i may tell us the greek authorities. what is the situation right now when it comes to the resources that they need to cope with the situation. i would say the question here is not resources the hundreds of millions of euros to tackle the migration challenge the question is how that money is spent if you look at the numbers hundreds of millions are spent on enforcing the external borders of the european union but only l. very small fraction of that is actually spent on improving the asylum system and

when it comes to asylum system you have to zoom into every and each european country almost especially when it comes to all 3 or hungary or greece that all have their own national politics when it comes to a side in politics that's the problem and on the ground if you look at the situation of migrants particularly in greece there's no obligation to give them even a translator to make them understand what their eyes are because the greek asylum law says that's no longer all the good story. is funny for char thank you. hugh. and we'd like to return now to our top story that fierce fighting between israeli forces and palestinian militants which shows no signs of abating israeli air strikes pounding targets in gaza while hamas launching hundreds of rockets into israel there's also a new front in the conflict mob violence between jewish and arab neighbors inside

of israel working on actually getting an interview set up for you are having a couple of technical problems so in the meantime i'm just going to tell you a little bit more about what is going on elsewhere in the world for example in the united states which has made great strides in its campaign to vaccinate people against cove of 19 more than 35 percent of the population is now fully emunah ised but to really beat the pandemic it needs to return to the unity experts say that goal could be out of reach in the u.s. in part due to persistent vaccine hesitancy to use carolina chinmoy traveled to the southern state of mississippi currently in last place for vaccinations to find out more about what is stopping people from getting the shots. but. there are over 30 vaccination sites in jackson mississippi a city of 160000 residents one of the locations is at the state university site

empty chairs and in a waiting staff shake the city they have 250 doses of the vaccine available today sometimes we have to waste and that's the shame because we know that there are many more people that need to be vaccinated the mississippi is last in the united states and cope with 19 vaccinations only 26 percent of the state's population is fully vaccinated some have changed their mind but a vaccine hesitancy still poses a major problem i was a very is the to. everything kind of prayed about it and. i feel like this was the most responsible thing to do be safe from my family and people around me and i were going. to patients every day so. at jack's on his health center dr chapman and her team offer daily vaccines for free with no apartment required but also at this site the traffic of patients remains low we'll

find in those off the. a lot of conservative weiss. and then a lot of the monoid that young is not getting and we tried to just give them more and more education. even some health workers are hesitant like barbara patrick who eventually was convinced would you like to look down the fire or to. move forward as a health worker she was offered the vaccine in january i didn't want to be the 1st in line for one day and. it was not that i was anti you know backs of nature but my hasn't it was because i want to see what the at home would be factors. with every shot off the backs. the risk of the spread to returning dramatically decreases but this is still not enough the city of jackson has decided that if people don't attend the vaccination centers they are going to bring the vaccines

into their communities. in a mobile clinic packed with vaccines and supplies the health workers strike 4 to 5 times a week to the suburbs the goal is to make it as convenient as possible for people to get their vaccine forehead. today it's a church after 2 hours only 2 members of the community come in to get their shots. i work. in this way recommended for where we come in the community in the big show i can come in and take. this time there 100 vaccine doses available a much needed to and wanted around the globe but demand here is quite low some are still has a there are some who have barriers like transportation we don't require a porn so it makes it more coming. but has it in see is not only about come fenians

maybe they are trying to you as people of color to get the back seat to really do some research. that's one of the things even our 1st. facts and statistics convinced her that this is the only way to return to normal also in their church. and we are returning now to our top story about fierce fighting between israeli forces and palestinian militants which shows no signs of abating we are joined now by major general do your island the former head of israel's national security council he now works as a consultant to israel's defense industry thank you so much for your time this afternoon the military says that it has ground units prepared is that what is next in this conflict of ground incursion in gaza which could see the death toll rise further. no this is the 1st clue as.

far as. usually goes to. create the story. with civilians as so we refer to. but in this newsgroup her because that's. a lot. to bring. those of us. who are crucial. 'd early. sunday with 48 hours we should lower the look. ok so you think the timetables within the next 48 hours and there's a lot of concern on the ground and also in the international community that we could be staring down the barrel of potentially

a full scale war here and i'd like to just ask you to respond to the fact that in gaza we have reports of 83 people reported killed since monday quoting 17 children more than 480 people wounded there's reports of missiles bringing down entire tar tower blocks is this a proportionate response. of course this is personal hurdler sir thirsts are ripping to god it becomes less. costly this is a party that will cost. us not only millions will. kill it is will she received her. well and learn. who. you know the world to this or as some other. non-verbal are humblest of luncheons of us 100 percent of them look at the

little. girl's mother. you know they look to the soil some other. non-verbal our humble us of luncheons of us 100 percent of them look at the little. girl's mother. and of course residents so we actually have only 2 options either nothing. and those are now 100 percent of the. earth. so we are very very moral and. well we do when we want to attack. a local person. we call the dollar. and say well we are both. losers you and the people who we are lunch are very very

small and. who write in all of the dollars you better leave. the military and the war is using. some us as a service user and the solution very super the military or the little league all operators from. mr general. mr general thank you for that explanation you know but the question among many is could could that potentially be in fact more targeted your allies have indeed affirmed they've come out in support of israel's right to defend itself but you know from the palestinian perspective critics point to

a wider political context for example the expansion of settlements which is illegal under international law palestinians calling recent moves to a victor from a strategic parts of the city and they're using this terminology ethnic cleansing illegal they're also pointing to heavy handed israeli policing and you know you brought up in your answer there how we sort of got here to now this conflict how do you respond to those frustrations do you think that it was was adequate over the past weeks. and often it is much less a little. more social still room for people to give it as a peer it is worth a little wrong if the whole world is known. recluses. you lose your opportunity or other goal. including all.

the old rules to live. and. close by a girl. so it is not the little. girl. but i mean there are all these little girls to conquer global manhood. if there is no beauty. but the way to solve it of course is not to begin to try is will be innocent. and law is literally women children. the so this is also. the. solution for all of us who are you. to go there is no other way to talk to someone. so early in the mobile group. just in the mean time and i'd just like to ask you about this briefly before we go

because i mean this is really a new aspect now in the conflict and a very untidy now met within israel we are seeing the worst violence between jewish and arab communities in decades prime minister benjamin netanyahu has spoken of this particular development as as a battle now on 2 fronts how worried are you now about this aspect and this development within israel itself. well you know you because the so the result of this is something like so it was about 20 percent of the. only ups these are all syrians. are our police and we just rubber. tube users are entering our views heard is a conflict well how do you were leaving and solution or who we should go below and so on when militants who are to handle this burned. by the way

especially if you're going to use it loses a lot of corporations. who believe in good order and a lot of iowans actually. a year off duty on our. value you know her think we're going. and you saw it unfortunately. earlier. and much more their situation will ever. hold it will and will lead to where it was and some people and i dare you to say. it's usually old jewish surely. the liberals as a whole alicia are. a little certain their. duties and the real

solution for peace and condi and ollie will be green this. year or better too or it will be. and you feel lonely now and those early. indeed many many are hoping that the situation will become more calm and major general in your island former head of israel's national security council thank you so much for your time. now a spike in corona virus infections in turkey has forced us to change the location of this month's champions league final the world's most watched annual sports game will now take place in the city of porto manchester city and chelsea fans had been warned against traveling to istanbul but will now be able to attend as the british government has placed portugal on its green bus the gang will take place on may 29th. a quick reminder of our top story the conflict between israelis and

palestinians is intensifying forces have been launching air strikes on gaza flattening a residential building on thursday the mosque militants have fired hundreds of rockets into israel the escalating tensions are also spilling over into street violence several israeli city is home to both arabs and jews. next monday the beginning as it is focusing on a year up to stay with us if you can prove that in the meantime i'm sorry kelly in berlin and i'll be back with you at the top of the hour with another news update thank you so much for watching.

climate change was the spark that made her take action. cloudy augustine o. from portugal is suing 33 european countries for 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. focused on europe. next on t.w. . into the conflict zone with tim sebastian american secretary of state guns in the lincoln was in ukraine last week visiting a bar he's often words of comfort and support for the country of the russian troops of mostly huge numbers close to its border i guess newsweek easy craze for lewis good to me to cool a box get out of the business so what was he asked to do conflicts of. being 60 minutes on the double.

odds were all set. to go beyond t.l.c.'s. extreme take on the world lead out to all the guests were all about the stories that matter to you. remember it takes on a policeman former. being a pain. for your ear is actually on fire. 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 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 duarte 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 you do it out it goes to new

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 fires. this is very symbolic because it means that it will keep but if nothing gets then these will keep happening in other places from from our planet and we should fight to change that. wildfires rage through portugal often in 2017 defies claim to the lives of some 120 people and were deemed the worst in living memory. as if some of becomes hotter and drier than the last the risk of devastation rises. 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 a world that's healthy and we know danger. claudia's 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 fires. with climate change breathing problems will just get worse. people like me won't get better just it's going to it will get worse and worse their parents are supportive of the lawsuit to reason is 47 you. is 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 as origin. i am a little girl she's only 9 what will had life be like. i feel guilty i didn't really do anything by that cogged i didn't contribute to the crisis. but i also didn't think about it if you get to fight it like my kids i feel bad about that. cloud he 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 their 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 where. they fail to adopt the necessary emissions reduction. to avoid catastrophic consequences. discrimination on the basis. generations. greater risk of future harm. images like these 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 think for what we are doing and that makes me very happy but we still have a lot of work to to do and a long way so i think that we have we we have. the power and we want to 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 and munitions 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 fine but not anymore. their job is to find ammunition collect data and gauge the damage 2 world wars have left behind and the ocean floor. is still there and there were munitions from the 1st world war that was more than 100 years ago now a century later we're still dealing with the aftermath all. the scientists from the helm home center for ocean research and keel wants 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 that mission is crucial i'm. thinking mission is soon ports are not because it's meant that we finally started to compile a comprehensive infantry or munitions with 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 and yet even more hazardous other harmful substances they release as they corrode. and not to concentration. these substances can be costs in

a janick explains professor adman masa head of toxicology in kenya. government and i'm at the base and we expect more and more of these exclusives to spread through the sea why good man is it and the more the greenies a main thrust the bear more substances are released into the environment that is one of us on this all need to monitor this closely with us so we don't end up in a situation where certain fish or seafood become too contaminated through the mail which at its walk was enough to do the shots for fred. along the entire german coast scientists have already been able to detect traces of explosives in the water . here in the badly back they are using muscles to investigate the level of contamination of the baltic sea as only about 20 meters deep out there. in the post-war 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 munition sites

some further away. we found in the box this is where the muscles are the older ones are attached to the car and the younger ones on the books but feel my. muscles felt in your dreams out of the seawater by passing it through their bodies. that makes them ideally suited to help detect talks in. the test found evidence of compounds typical of explosives in the muscles and in the water samples. the pressure of do not explosions refiled are still a trace levels and christopher no we don't have to worry about consuming fish in the baltic or muscles from the bee if you beg somebody else a consumer but the problem is growing west. on the expeditions into the baltic sea

the research has with the end grind that spatter know at that. 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 see of doing just that. it's easy to make and have plenty of food to stand video as well as images from the underwater vehicle is that i've documented it what's really down there is that the old. ticking time bombs on the seabed then they will seek rational or. 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. 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 extravagant i'm interested in what's going on. they really headed where they say they are do they really have the

cognitive they say they have sort of your good fare for almost the false verses one of the most important streets in the world connecting the black sea with the mediterranean basin 30 kilometer zone always played an important role in the push and pull between the world's great powers. access to the black sea is important to nato and it's also important for russia to have access to the west to the engine and mediterranean sea we're also talking about maybe. just a few days later who should shows as an example when tensions last routine 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 post his discoveries and photos on twitter. there is

a whole community of sponsors around the world. what they point to it can be quite sensational at times. you little sylvia the fact that russia was planning to intervene in the syrian conflict 1st became clear from the crazed number of naval ships in the bosphorus i was able to record. just how they were equipped on deck apart from the russian naval ships there were also civilian cargo ships that we were able to prove they were transporting weapons to syria part is the check that. gives you a little. apart from arms smuggling. who runs his own consultancy analyzing maritime activity 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 give 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. that we can begin to kind of. course his apartment also has a few across the bosphorus and he stays in touch with other spotter's 247. is that. we don't have to want each other in advance if ships that sail somewhere i know roughly when it should arrive here. i know how fast the different models travel i shall you've got to be given who's in the videos. from his perch europe the ship will surely be watching the next time history unfolds at his doorstep. china

is expanding its economic influence here in europe and for those people who have come here to fly.
