hamas rockets. wrecked buildings and burnt out cars proof that not all missiles are intercepted by israel's defenses. life here is not simple it is living with a fear that you never know where the rocket hits you know there are rocket attacks for which there are no alarm as you see people are walking around as usual but it's quite distressing and then. the united nations has called for. only. this latest round of violence the cycles of this destruction and these. guys in. existence and. fighting must stop the u.n. security council held a merge and see meetings but all efforts to produce a statement on the issue were so far blocked by the united states israel's closest ally. it comes as israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu

says he won't be reining in his powerful military anytime soon. we will 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 is israel ambassador to germany mr ambassador thank you so much for coming in today yesterday was one of the deadliest days since the fighting 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 the salvo against drew 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 this has the stall and we are doing all in our power 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 as freshly 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 on israel was such a heavy number of rockets and missiles and again let's not forget these are in bedded 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 within 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 stop this horrific exchange who needed it what are you trying to achieve is how must try and damage of sun isn't it now now that i thought i was done i 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're trying to undermine to help the palestinian authority who they're trying also to wonder why 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. you know this carry on i asked what is the logic of it happening in the 1st place and the well must really come in full force to hamas and have them explain themselves and not. 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 and gaza because of what happened there was the real purpose of this airstrike to prevent international reporting on what is happening you know to 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 and. 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 the capabilities and also a very particular quitman 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 there 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. telecom 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 that in defending its citizens so i mean the question has to be addressed of. as far as what i'm concerned i do not see this as something that has the be protracted without and eventually it will 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 the astronaut 3 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 we've seen a flare up in sectarian violence in israel 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 by the israeli arab community to be more and more involved in israeli politics and you could see this in 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 exchange which is caused right since make cities which up to now

be no a very major example of coexistence so i am concerned about it but i believe living in jerusalem and having a 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 protest in demonstrations some of them saw altar cations and were overshadowed by anti-semitic rhetoric is the german government doing enough to curb this kind of behavior well i think 1st of all i've spoken to some of the initial incidents of concern where in no front it's westphalia i spoke to a lot shit 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 their 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 things have a peaceful demonstration but another things have these type 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 and security and i based on what i have heard also from president 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'm as i said i think that these. communities should live quietly and in peace 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 germany in germany but also from even local arab leaders arab muslim leaders and i think that's important to 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 pristina lumbered with the minister of culture monica group says and also the head of the green party and alina been able

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 today thank you for having me. a look at some other headlines around the world south africa's former president jacob zuma is in court for the start of a trial in a bribery case dating back 20 years the case has been postponed numerous times over the years is facing 16 charges of fraud graft and racketeering. oh weather phenomenon has brought heavy rains to brazil's amazon region families have been forced to use canoes to get around and they're queuing up for 8 these floods could become the worst in this century affecting hundreds of thousands of

genuity within a few short days the generator is ready for use its capacity is large for a city which has faced a desperate oxygen emergency i think it's important to help in young people in general the supply system is able to provide 400000 liters per day and it takes a surrounding around and furthest the oxygen out and this oxygen can be filled up into normal oxygen cylinders starting for 5 up to 50 little indian style for receiving technical training on how to operate the system once the german team leaves as of today scientists from the defense research development organization and now fully responsible for running the plant. to study sandstone was not planned but everyone here is aware of the importance of this project up with your friend where going all. $100000000000.00 or group or limit. gomer good never

started the ball go didn't respond brought on the really good lovin oh oh good lord remember before global we'll reduce. the oxygen is pumped into a cylinder sealed and tested. and then sent to wards in the field hospital where someone pals and called the patients being treated 10000 liters can be filled in less than half an hour time is of the essence 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 live our own fear and those who faced india's heartbreaking oxygen shortage can only agree they know every breath

related to. bringing back the case iran to taiwan but then in yesterday's press conference the ne announced that. i want to confirm cases show symptoms as early as early april which means that taiwan. had been living with covert for more than a month without knowing and this is because taiwan that's not to moscow is saying and it's now too late to trace all of the possible cases and in the hospital was. already on the edge right howard vaccinations coming along. so it's not i want to be. seen rolled out.

a new constitution by design half of those elected will be women there are also positions reserved for indigenous representatives. chillies social and economic divisions contributed to the outbreak of deadly protests in 2019 that stretch for more than a year many hope the constitutional overhaul will heal the rifts. we want an end to those gaps that restrict people's freedom to develop because of the place where you were born or because of the economic opportunities you have. that you are we want our own constitution our law by us expressing who we are just that the people's constitution not a constitution dictated by other people. those demands could be answered after this series of elections 1st there was

the food. they throw on their skirts and pump on their skin says. women skaters in bolivia are breaking a taboo to. make that tradition and female emancipation can go hand in hand. not just on the half. dozen. india.

having an address is a fundamental right that's long been denied to residents of slums the digital pilot project uses mobile data to give each house its own address. for me the foundation business is videos final meeting that wasn't a very strong pitch called an easy that didn't meet up. in 60 minutes d.w. . with him had a big gun to do goes on as well lions how do you know if i had known that the boat would be that small i never would have gone on a trip to see if i would not have put myself and my parents on my. the thought of that being the going to do the sleeve for

a. little bit even though i had serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live their lives i'm going to. want to know their story a good sheriff or to complete the information for margaret's. welcome to global 3000. racing for equality we meet young women in bolivia who are breaking boundaries with cultural traditions. in nigeria we find out how access to basic hygiene is still a pipe dream from many. but 1st we meet doctors and volunteers in haiti who are

giving women the gift of safe child best. there are approximately 5000 different population groups on earth speaking around 7000 different languages we humans can have a variety of skin tones can identify is male or female or neither we're young or old heterosexual or homosexual we believe in a god or many gods or none at all we may have disabilities or not the list goes on humanity is diverse and always has been. and yet equal opportunities are still denied to so many people indigenous peoples for example account for just 5 percent of the world's population but make up 15 percent of those living in extreme poverty so. on less than $1.90 per day. racism

restored to me and opposing religious beliefs have led and still leads to millions of people being excluded this often means they have far fewer chances in life and yet it can take very little to turn this around as our report from haiti shows. landscape read 1st. but life here is tough especially for women. ruth follows her grandmother felicity nor nor every step of the way learning to sew beans at just 4 years old and it was the same with her mother before her but when ruth was born her mother hemorrhaged and died leaving behind 6 children at the age of 70 felicity nor now has a small child to look after she says she's tired and like almost everyone here she survives on about $2.00 a day. i'm

a widow when someone comes by and brings me something to eat i thank god. charlotte is going into later she rushed to the margaret clinic to see dr cassie on their shelves because he and his team are trying to reduce the maternal mortality rate. a woman should not have to die to bring life into the world that's unacceptable. today the child care haiti clinic is passing it's a small victory that so many women are getting their children vaccinated conventional medicine is an affordable to most of them but they get vaccinations and medical checkups free of charge. the heartbeat just normal everything's fine. in front of the clinic a public awareness talk about hygiene the importance of preventive care and birth control sex is a to boost subject but it can be broached here. was

. almost always take place at home but there are midwives who want to change that like is my niece was a. back alley and it's important because of the mothers give birth at home they may lose the child or get infections or rupture blood vessels we can take care of everything in the clinic the fact he did. every day the 47 year old is on the road visiting expecting mothers and raising awareness. in no other country in the western hemisphere do so many mothers die in childbirth it's not unusual here for women to have 6 or 7 children and that is a big risk the large number of children exacerbate poverty fathers often take no responsibility and don't provide support. but celia distant is 7 months pregnant just last year she had

a miscarriage but why give birth in the hospital she asks after all she's not sick . i'm not afraid of going to hospital but it works at home to see and i think god will give me the child at home. most women here think the same way is money's was if knows that it takes time to build up trust. with don't hesitate to call me i'm here for you. when. you need stamina your 1st they don't listen to what you say the 2nd and 3rd time too then on the 4th occasion if you turn up and help them with a chore you start getting through. misleading germany was taken to the clinic where she was told that she was at risk of having a miscarriage 4 days she was on a drip. back without the clinic on 2 occasions i would have either died myself or lost my babies the.

word gets around about things like that child care haiti is partnered with german development and relief agency bread for the world who fund is monies awareness raising work and preventive care. as night falls in mar rouge the distance sounds of drumming can be heard. a video ceremony is underway. we do is often linked with black magic but it is a recognised religion in haiti and most people here prefer to be treated by voodoo he the who summons the spirits and asks them for help. dr bashar has nothing against working together with a brutal heat is he says that one gets out of the psyche and the other the body. well the last minute that the healer has already sent many patients to us we help

each other it's a collaboration that is bearing fruit it's good for the patients both you know. it's 1st thing in the morning and dr version is heading out into the countryside with his mobile clinic also funded by bread for the world. the people who live in maru's just don't have the means to get to the clinic so the clinic comes to them. it brings free medicine and treatment as well as the always warm and friendly doctor. i just love what i do i love it so there is a theory that. the team of child care haiti are putting their full weight behind trying to improve health care in haiti no matter what it takes. that is cementing trust and helping women and children in particular. shirt in the meantime is just about to give birth she welcomes a healthy baby to the world. hey. hey

oh it's a girl. when a more successful delivery could be more rewarding a healthy mother and her healthy child. children should be given a good start in life and opportunities to fulfill their talents and potential this is one of the un's 2030 sustainability goals the development of social abilities motor and cognitive skills as early as possible a crucial for a child's future and long with health and good nutrition says the w.h.o. . many nations have introduced early childhood education programs including china but most of the children of its nearly 300000000 migrant workers have slipped through the net. left behind in rural areas in the care of their often overwhelmed grandparents. too little google her grandmother dung

is like a mother the 2 of them live together. the 3 year olds parents visit them in the village for only a few weeks of the year when. we 1st pay them a visit a year ago. the single grandmother would spend her days looking after the vegetable fields the household and her granddaughter then aged to. be more like. if i need to spend more than 3 hours out in the fields a relative in the village looks after her but once in a while i just go get vegetables when the little ones are asleep. like millions of other children in china or lives in a rural village without her parents who left their home province of junk she to live and work in the country's industrialized south. once a week a social worker comes to see grandma dong and her grandchild. his leave always

brings along new books and games she has work will complete a few simple tasks. he is part of a research project that supports childhood development in rural areas. grammar dung learns that even something as simple as sorting scraps of colored paper is beneficial to cold war it helps develop her motor and problem solving skills as well as concentration now and as i would just as the older people here in the countryside think all children need is enough to eat and clothes to wear and that that's enough they never think about things like play so i have to explain it to them over and over. n.w. that. goes mother was on the phone. she works in a factory 900 kilometers away and only gets 3 weeks holidays a year to visit home. it's hardly surprising globo shows little interest in the

woman on the screen. the child development project is being conducted by a team at the university in the provincial capital nanchang professor the world has been doing research in rural provinces for years he and his students want to show their junk she's chilled. duren have a lot of catching up to do. the people who are raised by their grandparents often don't develop enough knowledge and skills so the c.p.s. . miss here means they're less well equipped later in life for work and the demands of our cities and the future of the way ladies. but this small suitcase is meant to change that one of you was students one tyranny shows how games can be used to measure early childhood development. she's also visited other poor rural areas here in junk she the students are

assessing some 1400 village children with tasks such as these. wangs field research began with grandma dung and book war. so how has been progressing the 2 year old has had a weekly play visit for a year now. have they had any effect. on. how you will is not intimidated by the visitors or their experiments. everything is recorded for later analysis. during a speech test or points to body parts here are the feet and the dollar's full she says touching the toys belly. and on forceful i think out loud so she can say a few words and even some full sentences already i have

a good impression other children who aren't in the program probably wouldn't be able to verbal express themselves as well while moving around at the same time. he was here when she grows up i hope she'll get a good education and maybe study at university one day part of the whole. but it's a long road from here to university. an estimated 25000000 children under the age of 3 live in rural china a statistic that doesn't include their elder siblings what is the impact on a child when grandparents are the sole caregivers when the child is not encouraged to play that's the case with jihan she's also being tested for the research project today but she belongs to the control group she doesn't have special play visits or receive support. one tierney notes

g. hands weaker results she still can't perform simple tasks like matching shapes. and she barely speaks a word. her grandmother is understandably and happy. a year on we're back at gold was house she's now 3 years old compared to the neighbor's child she's making a lot of progress. the social worker has been coming for 2 years now with games and tasks even during the coronavirus lockdown. how she can express herself very well much better than the neighbor child. language development and her whole way of communicating are more advanced. what was grandmother knows she has a part to play here it does my granddaughter good in the past i didn't give her

much attention now i know what's important to spend more time with her. case confirms what professor lewis previous studies in poorer provinces had already shown. it's clear that children who participate in the program develop much better than children without support they're significantly more advanced in cognitive and motor skills as well as in speech and language. grammar don knows that if she continues to play with work well on a regular basis she'll be giving her a head start for the future. regular handwashing is easy right wrong according to unicef 2200000000 people have no steady access to clean water yet hygiene is not only a human right it's also a prerequisite.
