it's defending and attacking we will restore peace to israel. the air raid sirens sound yet again israelis run for cover this time israel's aerial missile defense system intercepted a missile but other rockets have cracked the so-called island and the reach of how massive is to be extending further and further into israel this is a neighborhood just 10 kilometers east of tel aviv in a heavily populated central israel as how mass launches more rockets from gaza negotiators from egypt held face to face toolbox with the 2 sides to try and find a truce. gyptian qatari and international mediators are talking with the resistance hamas and the israeli occupation but every time they make an effort to create a situation which allows the aggression to stop a new israeli decision to destroy towers and kill children the elderly and women

stifles these efforts. in gaza near empty streets the beginning of the muslim holiday of eat at the end of the holy month of ramadan it's usually a time of joy but here amid the ongoing violence there is little to celebrate. so i don't know what the situation is that every correspondent on your kramer is in tel aviv or for you time what are you were hearing about this reports these reports about a possible ground mission in gaza what can you tell us. well from what we understand and what we're seeing here is a very intensive campaign app on bachmann and of course also rocket barrages coming out of gaza but for the moment it seems this is just trying to cheat off the israeli army to use the afros they say they have a set list of targets they are targeting according to them the infrastructure belonging to hamas or islamic jihad or the militant groups and that is you know it

but there is a build up the ground because it's a military build up and as far as we understand our preparations that's been hard i mean the need to be preparations at some point a ground invasion would be taken into consideration but at the moment it seems that this press pricing had a very intensive back and pain and you would buy that expect that this will be more intensify it in the coming days and tell you what are your sources in gaza telling you about the situation in the gaza strip or right now. when i had the chance to call as something that i know from my previous reporting there and they are all telling me that it's a absolutely terrible situation they're hunkering down in their apartments it's very difficult to see as safe because they are know. not being safe and giving people bartman whether they're close or far it's

a very difficult situation it's also the ied so i had one a mother of one young woman saying that they were you know be a before monday before this all started they were buying this sweets they were buying new clothes for kids that's usually a custom to do and now it's not a test of the doll you know they're just trying to stay at home they will not visit family and it's very very difficult days very very difficult days and very difficult days in israel as well there have been some very difficult scenes. of. incidents of violence between israel's or jewish and palestinian communities how are people reacting now a day after those disturbing attacks. when i think people i spoke to here are really socked by this people on both sides of the ira the palestinian community even inside israel and israelis. there's even

a curfew now which is unheard of in the city of loot. you know especially the police so it's going to be it's being deployed there and. you know it seems to be a total loss of control and people are really really concerned about it because it's not just in one city it is in several cities and people really simply shocked about this violence to have used time ukraine are reporting from tel aviv thank you very much. and tensions from the israeli palestinian conflict have spilled over to cities around the world including here in germany they have been renewed anti israel protests in several cities and fresh incidents of vandalism targeting synagogues german police detain more than a dozen men suspected of damaging a synagogue in bonn and starting a fire at a jewish memorial site into satori conservative chancellor candidate armin lash it condemned the. once again our some of the other stories making headlines around

for a belgian answer feel our camp lesson sense such as her favorite per fumes smell or fall after she got infected with corbett 19 a few months ago at 1st she could no longer smell anything then many smells were distorted one of the most common side effects of the virus she can only see the spring on her balcony but barely smell it she says it's as if she were raring an iron mask. there is a tiny bit of something but i don't know the smell. that's frustrating and makes me a bit sad. sure michelle in my yard can understand very well feeling the frenchman lost his sense of smell due to an accident 5 years ago it's the smell

of his children he misses most but mayor does not want to give up his passion for cooking. a bit of color is good we eat with our eyes after all a bit like the great chefs in france are doing it but it is the nose with its millions of factory cells that defines the taste of this element after his accident may i was angry because no one could help him even if an estimated 5 percent of the french population suffers from a distorted sense of smell but with time his anger gave way to an idea he founded a necessary action and developed off actually training incorporation we scientists with concentrated sense rose lemon coughs. the sense of smell is a sense that is as important as other senses. you many forget about it. most

people only discover it once they've lost it or gone since the beginning of the pandemic thousands of affected people all over europe have been using his sense of smell training techniques belgian answer feel our count is also exercising her nose her doctor has seen for herself there are plenty patients are recovering thanks to the training for example because the a factory sells damaged by the virus renew themselves as this gives me hope but my motivation very soon and so does my hope because sometimes i'm just scared i keep asking myself if it will ever come back. even if things are getting better only slowly answer feel your car is hoping these smell bottles will her purport on her per fume again without upsetting her nose. all right some football now for your doctrines coach is waiting until the last minute to decide whether to play norwegian star striker errantly highland in the german cup final against rb like to

a lost many of our loved ones are being armed frontline i a lot of michael leads we have been struggling to keep up on with the reason health care demand it stop it stop or all of course and we just hope that things don't get better soon found out i was reading over over 4000 indians died from covert for the 2nd day in a row on thursday what's it like for you personally. i think we're all being affected by this you know it's it's a kind of grieved out it's unprecedented that none of us were really prepare for and is the 2nd to be it was far more or you know dangerous than the past one and probably you know you have to understand the long term impact that it's having but you know it's very strange that not even one deep passes by over the last few weeks that not not one of us have been affected a bit a sad news probably somebody hospitalized someone died and you know all of us have

been affected in many ways more than one personally i think it's really a time that i don't want anyone else to peace but it's i'm sure it's also learning for all of us were working at the frontline you say a learning experience what's the government learning out of this because its strategy hasn't worked until now is a changing its strategy. yeah i think see as i mentioned all of us are learning here and it's been unprecedented for all of us in fact the government it's made by us as well and i think they're also in a in a tough situation they have tried certain things which perhaps he hasn't worked at well but then there has been a recent change in a strategy mainly a 3 pronged strategy one containing the infection of some measures of lockdown in fact i'm speaking to your prom band. from karnataka where we have peace in a lockdown to report menace of states going locked on to cut the infection or

trying to will our enforce corporate appropriate behavior of social distancing and respiratory hygiene at the same time are building up on the health care infrastructure to hold on to the reason demand and most importantly now that we have started our vaccination drive the corbett 19 vaccine communication strategy is in place and we're trying to meet our maximum level it's the end coverage of the vaccine i think the government is trying but that. just explain to me what what sort of a prime minister needs to be urged from a coalition of opposition parties to act to save his own country that's the news i was reading today. yeah i heard the news too i think what i can tell you ben is from my own personal perspective as a frontline health worker and i think there are different our public health agencies national health agencies are also proposed to the government to the prime minister you know has different different strategies that work best specially in

terms of the corporate 1000 backs edition and ensuring that there is health equip t. and equality in health care access and specially looking to the safety of the frontline health workers because there will be the main backbone and force for this ongoing battle how are we to expect a nation campaign. yes so as of 11 made the theater that you know i was going through are for 9.9 percent of indians have received at least $1.00 of vaccination and a 2.7 percent if i'm not wrong have been fully vaccinated that have their $52.00 of of the call that scene are called the she and you know i think in terms of person it's looks better but then what you have to understand is that in a country like india which is very populous and has

a lot of social cultural ethnic diversity it's getting vaccine you're ensuring facts in distribution and countering vaccine hesitancy a prevent the the major challenges that undergoing not specially vaccine our level it's a get out centers well are rich and poor getting the vaccine are hindus and muslims getting access to the treatment they need. or i think they in question doesn't differentiate based on race culture or ethnicity as social economic status or region so we are treating everyone equal but of course you know certain areas certain pockets specially you know the homeless the migrants the social economical e are under privileged they're facing in numerable challenges in general release into the core of it and that includes vaccination be obvious as well especially you know the misinformation has been huge an immense and there are a number of bands who bets campaigns going on and there's a lot of hearsay and probably the effect certain classes more than other special

you who are in rule of us are not that well informed or in touch with the media how much more can the country take how much more can indians hold out how much longer is this going to go on do you think. so i think the resilience has been immense in spite of all the odds not all of us i think it's a collective responsibility and all of us are in this together trying to fight it out just to inform to yield that i think the new strategy by the government involves 4 main important things in terms to fight it one is the information on the new corporate banking vaccine our countering vaccine hesitancy and showing call with appropriate behaviors and also dealing with the back scene even if because a lot of you know a lot of indians are also very eager to take the vaccine so i think the key lies in an integrated a book at the communication and social model ovation strategy nation white there are just finally can you offer indians any sort of. thing so yes

ben hope is something which as psychiatrists really deal with and the nation needs hope positivity it's needed of course rational positivity and you know this is from all the challenges and real opportunity to strengthen our public health infrastructure saw the pandemic will eventually seeds of your hope collective you hope so and it will actually make a learn a lot of things for the future to prepare ourselves better for such futuristic places in the us. fingers crossed over the horizon thank you very much for being on the show great to get your updates thank you thanks. it's an important question now from a viewer about vaccines for our science correspondent eric williams. how long will the vaccines of protection. we don't know yet and even when we do

know more there won't be a single answer to this question since about a dozen different vaccines are currently in use around the world and since they're made by different manufacturers and are based on a range of different platforms they almost certainly won't all protect people for the same periods of time on average what we can say is that the makers of some of the 1st vaccines to enter use widely last december are now reporting back that levels of antibodies have generally remained quite high in recipients which is an indicator that those people are still well protected 6 months after getting their shots those results have researchers hopeful that immune response at least that induced by those that seems will last at least a year and possibly a lot longer but developers aren't leaving it to chance most have already started

modifying and testing the next generation of vaccines some of which specifically target variants of concern trials involving a 3rd booster shot with them are ongoing and don't forget. though there is no sign yet that vaccine induced protection is beginning to wane even if it does that won't happen overnight and even if immunity does start to drop faster than predicted health care authorities would notice it early and a lot of the experts i've read seem to be pretty confident that we'll be able to perspire and quickly. and here's a positive sign why turning a corner portugal seeing the surgeon summer holiday bookings up to the u.k. out of the country to its safe travel list british tourists returning from the country won't need to be quarantined portuguese hotel operators say demands

a growing business could recover this summer as more countries follow suit several european nations are hoping to see a resurgence in tourism as more people get vaccinated they you was trying to coordinate plans to allow people to cross borders easily without lockdown restriction. thanks for joining us again stay safe and see you tomorrow.
