usually it was an incredible feeling. of the people who were liberated. they had hoped for more security more freedom more dignity have their hopes been fulfilled. where does the arab world stand today 10 years after the arab spring. arabella and starts june 7th on d w. in the weeks since fighting erupted between hamas and israeli forces the weapon of choice has been missiles and rockets but not anymore from attacks by air to attacks by fists arab and jewish mobs have taken to the streets of israeli cities some israeli leaders are now warning that this could end in a civil war will the world well that to happen so far the usual calls for

a cease fire have fallen on deaf ears tonight u.s. and egyptian mediators are on their way to israel to start deescalation talks is it too early for talks or is it too late i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. that the b.l.s. will supply the that is that his name it is very hard for us and the children they have become homeless now. the recent incidents the most they tell you the beauties restocks be fixedly the peace process because it's the only with. both sides desire to live in peace hoping to see this coming to conclusions.

also coming up at the current pace everyone in the united states who wants a coded 19 shot will have it within the next 30 days but that will still leave millions unvaccinated tonight a report from the us state with the greatest vaccine hesitancy mississippi will find in in the south that. a lot of conservative weiss are not getting and then a lot of that minority young is not a good thing and we try to just give them one way. cation. which of our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states into all of you around the world welcome we begin the day in search of a way to end the fighting and the hate this week of see the deadliest exchange of attacks by hamas and israeli forces in 7 years and on the streets of israeli cities mobs of israeli jews and israeli arabs have sent some areas into lockdown and into

this violent escalation does not seem near and this will not make a deescalation any easier u.s. and egyptian mediators are now headed for israel to restart talks aimed at ending cross border fighting they'll arrive to find the israeli military preparing for a possible ground offensive against gaza while hamas is vowing not to let up with its barrage of rocket attacks aimed at israel to bring the israelis and the palestinians to the table both will want to somehow appear in a position of strain beside the bloodshed and the distrust there will have to be room for a new yet familiar narrative of coexistence in peace some say this is not possible but that is not the message that u.s. president biden had when he spoke with israeli prime minister netanyahu wednesday night and in that college course he did get aerated the right of israel of south to defend themselves you know in our view rocket attacks from attacks from hamas

into civilian neighborhoods and is not self-defense so he certainly read it that but also reiterated the need to move to deescalate the situation on the ground his view and the view of our entire administration is that the loss of any life a civilian life any life is a tragedy and that's one of the reasons that we are selling gauged behind the scenes in this effort. well my 1st guest tonight knows firsthand the challenges of conducting behind the scenes negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians martin indyk served twice as u.s. ambassador to israel and from 2013 to 2014 he was u.s. special envoy for israeli palestinian peace talks ambassador it's good to have you on the program i'd like to ask you about international efforts to end this latest fighting but let's talk 1st about the palestinians and the israelis what do you think hamas wants to achieve with this latest escalation of the conflict

where its basic purpose was to try to extend its influence. primarily it's at least roussillon where the violence is they stepped up. but also to the west that if a cat. is that it like lifting the sage it was already essentially negotiating with the israelis before all of this out so i think that the deal that they had which was quiet quiet is something that they can set again let's they've demonstrated that they're fighting for the cause fighting features israel has conducted 4 elections in 2 years and still doesn't have a new government how difficult is it going to be to get movement on the israeli side given the lack of stability that we're seeing right now in the government well israel does have

a can't take it government. i think that putting clusters into struck by the fraud . or 5th election and that process has now been disrupted not so much by the rocket fire of the public but more by. bob violence on the train shows that arabs in many cities across this. and that is that the cohen group for that though she has but in the meantime as a kid tech that doesn't but prime minister is that's mr katz they're totally clueless and decision making and they are quite capable of deciding. to or ceasefire with that proposition comes out after last november's u.s. election you wrote about what would be awaiting the new u.s. president in the middle east and i'd like to share segment with our viewers you write with all the other pressing priorities for biden's administration the

pandemic the economy china climate change iran's nuclear program except for a new initiative to restart israeli palestinian final status negotiations cannot be justified and yet biden is committed to keeping the concept of the 2 state solution alive because it remains the only way to end the conflict now when you compare the situation in 2014 with what it is now ambassador is international support for the 2 state solution is it stronger or is it weaker tonight. well i think what distinguishes i tried to tear in the if the crowds on the train the hope of the 2 state solution as opposed to the other idea is the route that all of one states and which one talk more about. it's it's very important to keep the hulk a lot and in particular coming out of this crisis to provide the palestinians with

a political horizon a way that they can say that's credible that can get them but there's a distinction between that and the goetia asians to achieve better conditions i'm not ripe for those funds those are situations that i speak as somebody who was involved in the last round and chanted it wasn't 14 when the parties will sort of part of the end of the procession that they were at the beginning of them and nothing has changed in terms of the latest ship on both sides we've been less and you know on this very sudden and not with a bus on the palestinian side there were leave late president live who was there as vice president that i was during those negotiations now seems has happened that would lead him to quit that there's a better chance of these 2 tying together or the united states being able to bridge the differences between them on the final status issues so i think that's the the

heart of the matter there are things that the united states can promote when the sirens stops. to encourage a belief on both sides that peace is cos i think that this conflict might make both sides recognize that peace is necessary but until we have a change of leadership on the freight that it's not going to be possible to bring these 2 sides together and i'm talking about a change of vision on both sides you've recommended that the u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken that it may. he should show support for a resumption of direct peace talks but only if both sides except the parameters of the 2 state solution laid out under president clinton how realistic do you think it is considering as you say we've still got the same political actors in place that we had in 2014 well i think it's totally unrealistic from us once

a one state solution that involves in the nation of israel. netanyahu wants a 3 state solution a must rolling 1000 well muslin in the west bank and on clothes. so you know another mouse and himself is a man who is going to determine to go it is straight books as the person who refused to compromise on palestinian rights so the 2nd step is just not there to get a meeting from the very effort to try to do that is likely to increase conflict rather than take risks so i think i think that we've got to look at smaller steps incremental process that makes today a process you know that there are a lot of that in the middle east if you're not if you're on a bicycle if you know pedaling forward you can avoid a lot of that that's become. moot what about the possibility of elections for the palestinians the palestinians are still waiting to hold elections they've been

waiting for a long time how crucial is a successful fair and free election for the palestinians to peace talks with the israelis. that's precisely the kind of incremental step that i think is important palestinians are very excited about the idea that they would have a chance to vote chance or express themselves up to 15 years without an election and the registration is very hot but apple mustn't called off the elections he said it was because the israelis wouldn't give him an answer that. the palestinians could could vote and inspect it was because he didn't want hamas to win and his own party was that tree was running 3 slates and proportional election so i think that something out of this by the ministration should push for the elections but according to what was provided for in the also

a cool one that is true still palestinians should be able to vote that's in the closet of this whole what's his role should be the votes and i'm going to say that only candidates forswear violet should be allowed to grow up and that makes to be applied in the way that it was an up to the if test an election before the cold calls let me ask you before we run out of time abounds i'm says we're talking about politicians in politics prime minister benjamin netanyahu he faces criminal charges and he has not been able to put together a working governing coalition after 4 elections even your opinion ambassador are the the chances for progress towards peace in the region are they better or worse if binge monette yahoo remains in a position of power. it depends very much on what kind of coalition. if he has that right wing religious television that he's been trying to

put together in these last 4 elections will do so if he manages somehow to cobble together that kind of coalition shots some place somewhere between 0 and up if he is forced to go into a coalition with the center left parties which he's done before then i think it may be possible to move the process forward but that doesn't look like a likely process at the moment. ambassador martin indyk joining us tonight from washington d.c. ambassador it's good talking with you we appreciate your time and we appreciate your valuable insights especially at these very very trying times thank you. thanks for having me. the united states has made great strides in its campaign to vaccinate people against. more than 35 percent of the population is now fully immunized but to be had to really be the pandemic it

needs to reach herd immunity and the experts say that goal could be out of reach in the u.s. in part due to persistent vaccine hesitancy. traveled to the southern state of mississippi currently in last place for vaccinations she wanted to find out more about what's stopping people from getting their shot. 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 state the see they have 250 dozes off the vaccine available today sometimes we have to waste and that's a 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 1000 vaccinations only 26 percent of the state's population is fully vaccinated some have changed their

mind but 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 we say for my family and people around me and i were going on a lot of patients every day so. a tax on hands 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 remain slow we find in the self that. a lot of conservative white. and then a lot of the minority young is not. 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 them up there on the fire or to.

move forward as a health worker she was offered the vaccine in january but didn't want to be the 1st in line for one day and. it was not there i was into you know backs of nature but now has a to it was because i want to see what are all those will be factors. with every shot of the vaccine the risk of the spread 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 or having one. today it's a church after 2 hours only 2 members of the community come in to get their shots.

and i work. in as we may recall. where we come in the community in a big so 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 hasn't to bear some who are barriers like transportation we don't require a form so it makes it more coming. but has it in see is not only about come fenians maybe they're trying to use people of color to get that thing to really do some research. that's one of the things even opt out at 1st. facts and statistics come thin sterrett that this is the only way to return to normal all so in their church. all right for more now we want to bring in dr william schaffner professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at

vanderbilt university medical center in the state of tennessee doctors good to see you again let's start with news coming in the good news today the cities for disease control saying that fully vaccinated people can basically throw away their masks i mean this speaks to the success of the vaccination drives in the united states would you say well i think it's very exciting brand because people will welcome this they have been vaccinated and they've asked very frequently what they do now that i couldn't he for i was vaccinated and now the c.d.c. is telling them basically they can go on mass unless you're one of those people who are immunocompromised then you should be continue to be careful and the numbers show is that about a 3rd of the population in the u.s. is fully vaccinated that means the u.s. is not close to reaching herd immunity is it. i'm afraid it's not bred

and it varies across the country in mississippi as you've just heard and in my state of tennessee we're at the low end of acceptance there are other states the more northern states and in the west where acceptance has been much more risky but in all parts of the country we still have many areas particularly in the rural areas where people are really quite reluctant to receive the vaccine we have to reach out more and more to them to persuade them that they're comfortable and reassured that getting a vaccine is a good thing and it is what we know we do so in the report that we just aired a vaccine hesitancy is very high in mississippi but that hesitancy seems to be highest over the u.s. sales why is that. well in the south we have more conservative people and of course there are still some political overtones over this remember it wasn't so long ago that we heard this virus was just going to

disappear of course that's not the case and so we're going to have to persuade those people to come in and eat tax native their the folks and who live in the more rural areas who are more self-sufficient and independent perhaps they don't think so much of protecting others because they're relatively isolated we're going to have to convince them. and what about the entire united states start to show after how much of the population is refusing to get shots. well refusing is pretty small hesitant is much larger and these are people who have a variety of questions that they need answered we have to listen to them and enter their questions that's 30 or 40 percent of the population. here in europe reports of side effects and some fatalities linked to the astra zeneca vaccine the results

and we've seen some countries dropping the back scene completely the reports like that do they have a negative overall effect on how willing people are to be vaccinated. surely those reports will raise questions and of course our j. and j. vaccine which is licensed for use which was very popular also had this rare blood clotting defect associated with it i emphasize rare and we haven't been able to pick up steam with that waxy as we had before it was very popular because it was one and done it only required one injection. does have to wonder you're probably aware that some states are offering money savings bonds or even free to wish and to college if people get vaccinated as a medical professional what do you make of having to to bribe if you will bribe the public to do something that benefits everyone to get life saving shots who

if you may i call it a reward but in any event positive motivation for what ever reason i hope will help get more people vaccinated it does appear extraordinary because the self evident benefits of the protection you get from the vaccine and that there are very safe ought to be convincing all by themselves so as a push up like health and medical professional i'm kind of confused about all that well said vaccination i've got about 30 seconds here dr sevier should vaccinations should it be compulsory so we're not going there this is still too controversial print for making it compulsory all over some private institutions colleges are telling their students when they come back in the fall they must be gotten laid that's a good way to get their shots in those arms for sure dr william schaffner of the vanderbilt university school of medicine in nashville tennessee dr schaffner it's

always good talking with you we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you enough and. we're here in germany the drive to vaccinate people against kobe 19 is exhilarating but there are still long lists of people waiting to get their 1st shot vulnerable people often find themselves at the back of the line but public health leaders are trying to change that primary tonsil or could stop at this homeless shelter in bonn i don't think the other 90 people who have found reference here have signed up production the nation today. it's a special vaccine campaign by the city authorities an effort to reach those who might otherwise fall through the cracks in the system. i think it's great i don't think i would have been able to sort this out myself so i think it's quite good. apart from difficulties they face making

a doctor's appointment there are other obstacles to homeless people getting vaccinated but. most of the people are not so healthy they've had a hard life of experience homelessness extreme poverty drug addiction. they've had to take a lot of medication and it's just comforting to know that they will no longer be at risk of getting a severe covered $1000.00 infection. so far germany has vaccinated a 3rd of its population with their 1st dose but there still aren't enough doses to go around this is what all the and particularly vulnerable groups are being prioritized for the homeless and people in drug programs the city has reserved even 100 doses of the johnson and johnson vaccine which only needs to be given once and the people seem willing to get the jab. yes i'm going to be vaccinated today at 1 pm that's when they start and i will be there i might remove one dose then

everything's done. there is no rule but i'm happy with it you know me too freely i have side effects i had the service for one day but otherwise i'm fine. a war. through a good lawyer i think it's going pretty well it took too long at the beginning but typically german. always takes longer to keep things off but now it's going well. germany's vaccination program is coming along and like plan other cities are also trying to reach out to move on mobile parts of the population so that nobody is left behind. and finally who doesn't love a wood fired pizza but what about one cooked to perfection atop a smoldering volcano well that's what one chef is doing in guatemala taking advantage of conditions on the erupting a coyote volcano the streams of molten lava mean perfect conditions for this

mountain pizzeria but with temperatures reaching over a 1000 degrees celcius don't try this at home that is if your home happens to be next to a volcano. the day is almost done the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either good news you can follow me at t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see that everybody.

this is utopia news live from berlin tonight israel calls of thousands of army reserves as the conflict with the palestinians escalate israeli forces pounding targets including residential buildings in the palestinian territories the authorities there say more than a 100 people have been killed and hamas fighters launching hundreds more rockets into israel also coming out jews and arabs turning against each other on the

streets it is real the prime minister condemning what he calls mob violence in israel's cities and dortmund celebrates victory and football's german cup the black and yellow hammer live in the final. i'm burned off is good to have you with us we begin with the escalating conflict between israelis and palestinians egyptian negotiators are talking to both sides but so far there's no breakthrough to reports israeli forces are reported to be building up at the gaza border and the army has called up thousands of reservists hamas militants have launched hundreds of rockets into israel israeli forces have hit back with devastating air strikes on gaza mob violence has broken out in several israeli cities and the death toll and both israel and the palestinian

territories continues to rise. they are shouting revenge how the pill. garza hold funerals for 13 militants killed in israeli air raids. the atmosphere is charged as the conflict between israel and the militants worsens by the day. one of the israeli casualties of the many hundreds of how massed missiles fired into israel a soldier who died too young israel's prime minister says the losses his country is suffering won't be in vain. because the i.d.f. has already attacked hundreds of targets and we continue to strike hamas whilst defending our citizens it will take more time but with both 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 miss sile. but other rockets have cracked the so-called eye and and the reach of hamas seems to be extending further and further into israel this is a neighborhood just 10 kilometers east of tel aviv in heavily populated central israel. as a mass launches more rockets from gaza negotiators from egypt held talks with both sides to try and find a truce. egyptian 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 impression to stop a new israeli decision to destroy towers and kill children the elderly and women stifles these efforts. in gaza and the 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. for the latest now i'm joined by our correspondent tanya kramer she is in tel aviv good evening to you tell you what are you hearing about israel's military campaign and possibly starting a ground offensive. well the focus at the moment of the israeli military is on an intensive campaign and bombardment that's what we've seen here in 2 days at least so try to see is as they say to have a set list to have a set list of targets and what they describe as infrastructure off hamas islamic jihad or other militant groups that they want to degrade as much as possible the military capabilities off the militants groups in gaza but nevertheless there

is preparation for other operations to come and the israeli defense minister benny guns has also arised today additional $1000.00 reservists to be called up if needed but it's unclear at the moment you know whether they will be a ground offensive and when it will be and whether there will be one what about efforts to end the fighting we know there are mediators from egypt and the u.s. on their way to is real how much hope is there for diplomacy. when at the moment and looks like that neither side is backing down but what we've seen in previous rounds of hostilities it's mostly it's egypt it's the u.n. it's other activists that try to mediate a cease fire or cessation of hostilities between hamas the militant groups in gaza

and israel but at the moment it's unclear whether this is happening behind the scenes and whether those boring parties actually interested to end this and in time soon. that was trying to cover their reporting from tel aviv within israel the conflict is fueling confrontations in some communities as mobs of arabs in jews confront each other on the streets simmering tensions in several mixed cities are boiling over into violence was no brutal attack on the streets of. a group of far right israelis pull an arab man out of his car in a b 10 was a mob attacks as well in the city of live this surveillance footage shows palestinian youths attacking an orthodox jew. elsewhere clashes erupted between arabs and israeli police. the violence is fueling fears that israel

could be headed for civil war. jews and arabs who live side by side in israel's so-called mixed cities are deeply concerned off on the right that. it was never like this at this scale never. used to be small grass small fires. we need to live here together coexistence we need to be partners who are each other such as. this arab owned ice cream store and bought yom was vandalized by a right wing jewish mob its owner says she was shocked by the violence. shot up most of my customers are arabs or jews we've been mixed together this whole time i never felt like there was something wrong they used to come up and try to talk to me in arabic that was normal i never felt anything wrong i don't want to have that in a fish that. many in these towns are just hoping the unrest will end soon. that

no one is ready to carry this we isolate yourself. and it's just so. heartbreaking what happened and make it happen again but an end to this conflict on israel's streets appears a long way off the prime minister has warned that violence is likely to increase in the coming days. were earlier jewish studies professor ya know aren't all from michigan state university told me that the unrest between jewish and arab israelis is on president. it's especially challenging because just this evening. there was supposed to be and even for a new a coalition government that included this really arab party led by months or abbas and there was supposed to be kind of historic new. unprecedented good news this evening where the for the 1st time in israel's history there would be an arab

party in the coalition government so there's always been multiple airbus really parties in the knesset but not in the coalition government itself so it's going to be an unprecedented good news this evening and unfortunately things have unraveled and that doesn't seem like that's going to happen either that the coalition government. and tensions from the israeli palestinian conflict have spilled over to cities around the world including right here in germany there have been renewed protests against israel's military operation in several cities with over 1500 people gathering in the northern city of braman there have also been fresh incidents of vandalism targeting synagogues german police detained more than a dozen men suspected of damaging a synagogue in bonn and starting a fire at the jewish memorial site in dusseldorf. or here's some other headlines from around the world colombia's foreign minister clouding a bloom has resigned following international condemnation of a police clampdown on anti-government protesters at least 42 people have been

killed in clashes between police and demonstrators the protests were triggered by a proposed tax reform but it's since morphed into broader anti-government rally u.s. president joe biden says he expects gasoline supply to return to normal by this weekend after a cyber attack shut down a major pipeline long lines have formed to gas stations in the southeastern u.s. the colonial pipeline resumed operation on wednesday the cyber attack has raised concerns about the vulnerability of u.s. infrastructure. the u.s. centers for disease control is no longer recommending face masks for fully vaccinated people but this cd see says mass are still recommended in crowded settings such as buses planes and hospitals over half the u.s. population has received at least one dose against the virus. india has recorded more than 4000 coben 1000 deaths for a 2nd straight day while the situation has improved in many cities the virus is

rampant in some rural areas where there's less testing concern is growing about a highly infectious variant that emerged in india and is now spreading world watch . sports news now with football dortmund have won the german cup after a stunning $41.00 victory over rb leipzig in the final here in berlin jason sanchez scored twice as dortmund raced to a 3 nil lead in the 1st half leipzig pushed back after halftime and danny omo told a go back for them but holland added a 4th for dortmund after the break to give them their 5th german cup victory. and joining me to talk about the german vinyl right here is our girls in front of our sports department so dortmund good bad well they have this amazing as striker erlang holland norwegian 20 year old boy wonder and he's back from injury he had

been out for 2 weeks with a thigh injury and you would have noted he was amazing he scored 2 goals helped set up the other 2 goals for once for the one victory and he clicked wonderfully with teammates marco roy's german international and with england international in san show and what's most amazing about him he's an incredibly big man and you would think ok maybe his acceleration isn't that great it's pretty quiet when does have the ball near him but when it gets near him he just explodes forward you can't beat him in a race and the other thing is his his center of gravity is amazing for a man of that size never seen anything like that before so i mean he the way he played for dortmund in this match he is truly a treasure center and they've been scored twice both of belief with transfers this summer right how important is that is it to me keep them for next season very important they're the future they're young they're dynamic they they can change a game on a dime and i mean there's been lots of rumors for example the rumor biggest rumor

was that byron munich wanted to have. and it's holland and he. basically the price tag would be more than $100000000.00 euro so finally one of they had people at byron munich has issued a statement saying we are not after holland and so they have left it at that i think they're going to stay at both those players are going to stay at dortmund for a while what about leipzig still a major trophy for them what did they get wrong this time well i mean this was the 12th game for outgoing leipsic coach. again stuart went and he's only been able to beat them once and i mean they he they seem to be his bogey team but i mean not an easy team to beat in the 1st place and secondly i mean he just lost 32 against them in a in a bonus league match not too long ago few days ago and you think he could learn from that but again for him it's good not to be the inventor of the sure because he's always art thank you thank you. or here's

a reminder now of our top story the conflict between israelis and palestinians is intensifying mob violence has broken out in several israeli cities and gyptian negotiators are talking to both sides but so far there's no breakthrough to report . and we'll leave you now in the company of a d.j. who's on top of the world french electro musician tito an altitude of 3000 meters and surrounded by the snowy peaks of the swiss alps the show was in support of artists put out of work by the pandemic in-joke.
