on the welcome to the program. israel launched a series of heavy airstrikes on gaza in the early hours of monday morning. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that attacks in gaza are continuing at full force and will take time it came after u.n. security council talks ended without agreement on a public statement but the u.n. secretary general antonio terrorist warned of an un containable security and humanitarian crisis. israeli air strikes a lot of the night sky at one point dozens every few minutes creating another sleepless night in the gaza strip there is so far little news of casualties or the extent of the damage gaza officials say dozens of people including children were killed on sunday that would be the highest death toll since bear strikes began leaving palestinians to mourn their dead. this father

himself who ended in an airstrike on his house breaks down as he bids his daughter a final goodbye. 6 across the border in israel the damage isn't as bad but people are living in fear of hamas rockets. wrecked buildings and burnt out cars proof that not all missiles are intercepted by israel's defense is. right here is not simple it is living with a fear that you never know where the rocket hits syria their rocket attacks for which there are no alarm as you see people are walking around as usual but it's quite distressing and then most. of the united nations has called for calm. this latest round of violence only words the cycles of this destruction and this prayer and put its problems in the eyes of. those. fighting
12:04 pm
must stop. the u.n. security council held. all efforts to produce a statement on the issue were so far blocked by the united states'. closest ally. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he won't be reining in his powerful military anytime soon. continue for as long as it takes to bring back peace to you citizens of israel it will still take some time. people living in gaza say the magnitude of sunday's airstrikes was unlike anything they witnessed before as coals for deescalation continue to go unanswered. i'm joined now by jeremy those he's israel and bassett or to germany mr ambassador thank you so much for coming in today and yesterday was one of the deadliest days since the fighting
12:05 pm
began what needs to happen for the bloodshed to end well basically what should have happened in the beginning the hamas should not have attacked his row with now over 3000 rockets this started last monday with a salvo then strew sloman is continued throughout the week and this is been one of the most intense attacks on israeli population centers that we've had even though they've been previous exchanges and so bottom line is what needs to happen is that there is as the stall and we are doing all in all to protect our citizens to intercept these rockets and to ensure that these rockets are not only 5 today but also in the coming months and years has special in the past week what has shocked the world was the civilian casualties in gaza how would you respond to people calling israel's operation disproportionate well 1st of all i think as i said that the attack by hamas on israel would such
12:06 pm
a heavy number of rockets and missiles and again let's not forget these are embedded in the palestinian infrastructure and they are targeting israeli civilians and cities i want to also emphasize one thing virtually noris the nation 20 to 30 percent of the rockets also fall living in gaza and they kill palestinians so i think that when people talk about the situation in gaza 1st and foremost they should come to hamas and say why did you start this horrific exchange who needed it what are you trying to achieve is how must try and damage a son isn't it now that i thought this double just. and has to be prevented again what was hamas trying to do to make peace with israel to bring israel into a peace process which they don't believe in which they are trying to undermine to help the palestinian authority who they're trying also to underline it just didn't know you know have any sense so i mean when you asked me today's news ready diplomat what is the logic of. kino this carrying on i ask what is the logic of it
12:07 pm
happening in the 1st place and the well must really come in full force to hamas and have them explain themselves and not since a couple of days ago the israeli military attacked a building that housed some international media houses. and a.p. i'm going to quote an a.p. statement saying the world will know less about what is happening in gaza because of what happened there was the real purpose of this airstrike to prevent international reporting on what is happening you know too much to the best of my knowledge no and everything i can see on television whether it's on c.n.n. well just there all the other stations on the. i don't think there's any lack of coverage and we wouldn't do that in order to stop coverage we had very clear information about the facility is the will of being serving hamas in terms of their intelligence capabilities. capabilities and also
12:08 pm
a very particular equipment and i'm pretty sure that not everyone realizes the extent to which hamas again embeds itself in the civilian population in order to try and have a human shield so if anyone should come to any. complaints here it should be to hamas that what they did was no less of a war crime than fighting and shooting against israeli civilians in israel now with all of this the international community is asking for a cease fire but prime minister netanyahu says the fighting will continue. until calm is restored how far is israel willing to go look we didn't see this exchange and essentially i think you need again hamas needs to cease the rocket fire on israel and until it does israel will know this is the in defending its citizens so i mean the question has to be addressed. as far as where i'm concerned i do not see
12:09 pm
this as something that has to be purchased without end. it'll come to a close there are a lot of different conversations happening now what are the conversations that are conversations between the americans and israel we also have very open channels between the foreign minister of germany who's speaking to speaking to egypt and he's also speaking frequently to be astronaut the foreign minister and i also believe there will still be very continuing high level discussions that will go on in the coming hours all right let's do a flare up in sectarian violence. over the past couple of days how worried are you about the growing rift in your country 1st of all. i'm more worried because i saw actually in the last months a growing does by the israeli arab community to be more and more involved in israeli politics and you could see this in
12:10 pm
a range of things that happened after the last election the possibilities of coalition i thought this was an incredibly important development i think hamas is very scared of a need type of israeli jewish arab conciliation so this is a byproduct of the change which is caused right since make cities which up till now be no a very major example of coexistence so i am concerned about it but i believe living in jerusalem and having many palestinian and israeli arab friends that are the ones who are interested in quiet which are the vast majority of jews and arabs . will want to reassert their right to live in peace and coexistence so ultimately i think that is what will prevail let's talk about the situation here in germany over the weekend we've seen a series of protests standing in demonstrations some of them saw altar cations and were overshadowed by anti-semitic rhetoric is the german government
12:11 pm
doing enough to curb this kind of behavior well i think 1st of all i've spoken to the some of the initial incidence of concern where in no fraud no it's westphalia i spoke to in law should the prime minister of the state and he was very concerned about it and we discussed and he assured me that they will do all in their power to prevent it other senior security officials spoke to me and also assured me that they will do all in our power look some of these things of fighting against you know jewish communities confronting them attacking synagogues burning israeli flags these are things that you know it's one thing to have a peaceful demonstration but another thing to have these types of acts which really i mean the jewish community in germany has nothing to do with the crisis going on in gaza they are deserving of living like any other community in germany and peace
12:12 pm
and security and i based on what i have heard also from president started my own who spoke out very loudly against these attacks also from what i've heard from all see hope the minister of interior who came out against these attacks and he said we will use all in our power to stop these type of anti semitic attacks so i from that point of view i feel the german authorities will do all they can to prevent are you currently concerned about the security of the israelis and jews here in germany look i'm always concerned and i because i said i think that these. communities should live quietly and in place and i must say i don't want to paint the picture just negatively we've also had demonstrations of support and solidarity for israel not only from the you know overworks of life in german in germany but also from even local arab leaders arab muslim leaders and i think that's important to
12:13 pm
remember they've been supportive in light sake in frankfurt and even in berlin last friday there was a meeting with the minister of justice christina lamb breast with the minister of culture monica groucho's and also the head of the green party on a lean a bit of both they came to express their support and to very much negate any form of anti semitism against jews in germany and i and i think that that is also a very strong. sense of sentiment that i i feel very. at least racial by ambassador jeremy thank you very much for your time thank you for having me. now for some other news making headlines around the world another trial is underway in hong kong for a 10 pro-democracy advocates charged with incitement for taking part in an unauthorized protest in 2092 defendants on for a banner that read free political prisoners before going into court. a prominent

12:18 pm
as the german team prepared to leave india was its mission accomplished its absolutely mission accomplished and it was a great honor to be here to help people here in india was just providing oxygen due to the fact that from our perspective ever like our own fear and those who faced india's heartbreaking oxygen shortage can only agree. they know every breath counts. parts of the u.k. are easing lockdown rules today despite concerns over the spread of a coronavirus variant 1st detected in india clubs restaurants and other hospitality venues are being allowed to reopen after being closed for months people will also be able to meet and doors with some restrictions for the 1st time since last autumn but a number of health experts are calling for the measures to be delayed after cases of the indian variant tripled in the past week and parts of northern england. and

the town of bolton near manchester is one of those places where case numbers are spiking let's see if we can bring in correspondent phil who is there at a vaccination site charlot what role does the indian strain play in bolton's surge in infection numbers. the indian variant is cooling a good deal of concern here in bolton and other areas of the northwest of england there has indeed been a big spike in the number of cases of the indian variant in the warning from scientists here could most likely become the dominant variant here not just in the northwest of being the but across england replacing the kent variant the very 1st emerge in kent here in england and the dominant strain and today of all days that's cool to a good big cool spoken sun and that's because as you said england easing a lot of it very strict a lot down measures that have been placed pubs restaurants opening indoors for the
12:20 pm
1st time this year it's so fun to see the government all thing that they are keeping mainstream really close eye on cases all of the indian variants across england and particularly both and here in the northwest keeping an eye on it won't be enough though what are authorities doing to stop the spread from getting out of hand. that's right that's why they've also stepped up the vaccines here's i'm sure you can see there is a huge queue behind me people braving this rather unpleasant weather here at the moment to just to stand in line for that vaccine that's also been aside in testing here is well authorities going door to door to try and do testing to to catch these cases early but there are scientists who are warning that that might simply not be enough going forward many have been mourning the government that perhaps it is too 13 to be easing these lockdown measures and that we should be looking at this with a a good deal of caution indeed boris johnson himself the british prime minister has been
12:21 pm
warning people that his measures are relaxed a day they should be extremely cautious in how they proceed as they watch very closely to what happens with case numbers so surely does this easing of restrictions also apply to the city of baldness seems a bit counterintuitive at this point it does there will be all the measures that have been used across england are being eased here in bolton other countries to scotland which alongside in that is easing measures today but is taking the decision to not to ease restrictions in hot spot areas gloves go for example there will still be the existing measures will remain in place while they keep an eye on what's going on and what authorities are looking for particularly here is just how transmissible this indian variant is are some very stark warnings from the authorities you've done modeling warning that if this variant is is 40 to 50 percent more transmissible there could be an enormous surge in hospital cases over the coming weeks that's of course good or great causing a great deal of concern to us and bill monitoring the situation and bolton thank

12:31 pm
most european travelers. i'm chris colfer welcome to the program after a 4 month lockdown britain is taking a major step towards normality as coronavirus restrictions are eased that's despite concerns of the spread of the more transmissible indian kovac variant as of today restaurants and pubs are once again open across england wales and most of scotland also movie theaters and sports venues and even some holiday travel abroad is possible again only 12 countries are currently open for corn team free travel from the u.k. now british airways is urging the government to expand that list and add france greece spain as well as the united states as soon as possible. for more let's cross over to the u.k. and d.-w. correspondent beric good mohsen london what's the mood among britons are they hitting the airports now that some cross border travel is allowed again
12:32 pm
well airports definitely have been preparing for the busiest day of the year and there are significant you move flights going out of the u.k. then in the last month many holiday make us go to portugal however there is still also some question i would say amongst the british public because politicians and indeed health experts are warning not to let it all out and actually the health minister said people shouldn't be be going on holiday they should really be straight to to essentially travel and i think many older people specifically with still be quite cautious because we know that on the continent that the virus is still much more prevalent and here in the u.k. so if people are actually traveling to another even european country they're still exposing themselves to to morris and they would potentially do in the u.k.
12:33 pm
so caution is still the name of the game there it's not only travel that's affected here whole swaths of the british economy are reopening allowing restaurants and bars to serve customers indoors or cinemas to welcome movie goers how have these businesses been preparing for this day. well yes it's a bit of a grand reopening in the u.k. even though large groups are still not permitted to meet and those who still you're supposed to only meet 6 people indoors bod like you say businesses have been reopening and walking through central london this morning i could see many more cafes restaurants and pods having tables outside so they are restricted as to how many people they can salvage indoors because of course they have to guarantee some form of social distancing and those however they have been permitted to spill out onto the streets so-called streets riis have been implemented in london and also in
12:34 pm
many other cities in the u.k. where the restaurants and the cafes and the pubs are taking over space on the pavement say we have a bit of a mediterranean feel here in the u.k. at the moment it's just a shame about the weather the full cause for the next days is rain rain and more rain and very briefly how much of a threat is the indian coronavirus varian to all these plans it is a threat at the moment numbers of still low just a bit more than $1300.00 and it's spread in pockets not widespread yet within the country but experts are warning that it is more transmissible and it will spread across the country much more if people are doing it and if the all through it is don't manage to to stop this virus from spreading big amounts in london thank you. now the u.k. lifting some pandemic restrictions is particularly welcome news in portugal the country has long been a preferred destination for some thirsty britons and it's not only them that the

country's tourism dependent economy wants to walk again with the vaccination campaign in europe in full swing portugal is now open again to most european travelers. the hotel the a's in the algarve a can hardly wait the tourists are finally coming back especially those from the u.k. which are a major source of income here bookings are up and there is optimism about the summer. with the increase in vaccination not only in portugal but mainly in the united kingdom which is our main tourist market it should get better i think there are conditions so that we don't have to go back. home of it opening is an opening we hope it will be a success we should go slowly because it is a year that hasn't special conditions. from now on british tourists no longer have to carry out quarantine when they return home from portugal that makes traveling easier but it's not
12:36 pm
a return to normal quite yet we still think that we're going to be nowhere near the 2019 expectation so i would say about 2025 percent lower than 2019 considerable better than last year package holiday companies and turns them focused airlines are ramping up their portugal offers some are worried it may be too much too soon. irish locals carry around air and certainly banking on things getting back to normal the company has just reported a loss of almost 1000000000 euros for the past financial year. europe's largest discount airline flew $27.00 and a half 1000000 passengers in its financial year to the end of march down from close to 150000000 the year before crew chief executive michael o'leary said it had been the most challenging year in writing is 35 year history the airline slashed capacity and slashed jobs around a 1000 employees were show in the door but o'leary said the airline was optimistic
12:37 pm
for a turnaround in the coming months. the you keep maxine our program has been extraordinarily successful we're up to 60 percent of the adult population one back the fur and see there are still those you are because you recognize that they're beginning to live the shushan zone even though you gave visitors portugal this morning we're very hopeful that easily greece will be added to that green list before the end of may and shortly thereafter the current estimate is that the airline will come back to about 2 thirds of its previous capacity over the next 12 months but in its april to june quarter usually one of its busiest the airline is likely to carry only around 5000000 passengers. and bring in colorado's nor markets man in frankfurt here and conrad ryanair hopes for a recovery this summer how realistic is that. well it's quite likely that right at is a bit too optimistic here it's true to and from the united kingdom we will be
12:38 pm
seeing more traveling in the coming months as so many brits have been vaccinated and the list the so-called green list of safe countries is constantly growing but and big it mustn't just pointed this out when you talk to her a caution is still that place also because of this india the very end of the virus and this is only the u.k. here in june in germany i checked the travel restrictions on travel warnings that the government still has out for some of the major travel destinations of germany spain italy croatia and the government here is still warning rather not to travel to those countries yet conrad goes in frankfurt thank you. it's to china now where the economic recovery seems to be cooling factory output grew nearly 10 percent in april compared with last year but that was significantly slower than in march chinese exporters are joining strong demand but global supply chain bottlenecks and rising raw material costs have helped production back meanwhile domestic retail

a greater leadership role when. china is germany's most important trading partner and by volume of goods europe's as well thousands of european firms operate here china may be promising a more level playing field but the european union chamber of commerce in china still has a long list of complaints is it going to change i think china's own pace and i think the kind of control they want to maintain over their economy well. let us have a small portion of that whole game so it's a serious problem but the market access and i don't see it. becoming much easier frankly. e.b.m. pabst tests the noise levels of its products with very quiet fans it aims to win over chinese consumers an increasingly important market for the german company. in here the facts terms. we are going faster in china than anywhere else it
