2:03 pm
toll since airstrikes began leaving palestinians to mourn their dead. that this farmer himself wounded in an airstrike on his house breaks down as he bids his daughter a final goodbye. across the border in israel the damage isn't as bad but people living in fear of 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. the united nations has called for calm. only. this latest round of violence the cycles of this destruction and
2:04 pm

2:05 pm
to germany mr ambassador thank you so much for coming in today and 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 a salvo dense true islam and 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 have needs to happen is that this has the stall and we are doing all in our power to protect also distance to intercept these rockets and to ensure that these rockets are not only fired 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
2:06 pm
people calling israel's operation disproportionate well 1st of all i think as i said that the attack by hamas on israel was such 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 full of 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 to damage the sun isn't it now now that i don't have those dodges the. 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 undermine it just didn't
2:07 pm
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 so it's a couple of days ago the israeli military attacked a building that housed some international media houses. and 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 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 on boccia velo i don't think there's any lack of coverage and we wouldn't do that in order to stop coverage we had very
2:08 pm
clear information about the facility is the what if being serving hamas in terms of their intelligence capabilities the capabilities and also a very particular equipment and i'm pretty sure that not everyone realizes they extend 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 on. telkom restored how far is israel willing to go look we didn't see this exchange and essentially i think you need it again how must needs to cease the rocket fire
2:09 pm
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. and as far as was concerned i do not see this as something that has to be purchased without and eventually it will come to a close there are a lot of different conversations happening now 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 do not see the foreign minister and i also believe also 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. over the past couple of days how worried are you about the growing rift in your country 1st of all. i'm worried because i saw
2:10 pm
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 till now be a very major example of coexistence so i am concerned about it but i believe living in jerusalem and having in many palestinian and israeli arab friends that the ones who are interested in quiet which of 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
2:11 pm
a series of profile us standing 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 were in no fraud in what was failure. 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 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 thing to have a peaceful demonstration but another thing to have these type of acts which really
2:12 pm
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 hoffa 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 israelis and jews here in germany look i'm always concerned and i because i said i think that these. immunities 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
2:13 pm
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 christina lambert with the minister of culture monica groucho's and also the head of the green party aniline of the bull 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 jamie thank you very much for your time today thank you for having me. let's take a look at some of the other news making headlines around the world at this hour a powerful cycling is roaring up the west coast of india after heavy rains last
2:14 pm
month by almost 150000 people further north in the state of gujarat have been moved to safety but cycling is likely to disrupt india's fight to tackle the current surge of corona virus cases. on mars election last year did reflect the will of the people and international monitoring group has concluded the asian network for free elections said the military was unjustified in using alleged election flaws as a reason to seize power around $800.00 people have died since the military coup began unfair for resourced. 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 record tearing. to russia now were court procedures are under way that could see groups supporting
2:15 pm
jailed kremlin critic alexander obama declared extremists authorities there have been clamping down on opposition to president vladimir putin the designation could mean activists face long jail sentences just for opposing russia's leadership. emily sure when has been fair southwest of moscow speaking to involve the supporters about the pressure they now face. this letter seals the deal it officially ends on the contract with a nice team under a head of the opposition politicians regional office interior for 4 years. russia will be free he says one day was arrested at recent on authorized protests his team organized into better but now his office along with 36 others enough campaign network have had to close russia's state prosecutor wants them declared extremist andre tells us he wants to create
2:16 pm
a new local political organization to keep working. for politics was always centered on the russian capital moscow but thanks to the novell the campaign offices political activity has bubbled up across russia's regions rootsy now it's time for us regions to jump into the deep end and swim for ourselves it's hard and dangerous but it's a necessary phase in the development of political life not only in fear but across the country. and that he and his team and their have become friends over the years like andre most of them have been arrested several times and i've accepted threats and pressure as the price to pay for pushing back against the kremlin but the extremist label takes that to another level it could make symbols like this a relic and for now viney illegal activists found to be part of an extremist organization could face up to 10 years in prison. i lost my job and when i tried to get a new one recently they told me in private that their security service wouldn't let
2:17 pm
them hire me we have already had problems with work. they really start tightening the screws and i see that they're making a show of putting former employees activists and volunteers of an of all the offices in jail of course i will think about how i may have to lay low somewhere for a while with. the even people outside. actual team have been facing increasingly serious consequences for protesting against the government earlier this year thousands were detained during demonstrations in support of me and there have been several reports of employers firing people for backing the politician since the recent protests in support of alec say now by any kremlin critics across russia had been under increasing pressure and that pressure is unlikely to let up ahead of parliamentary elections in september including for the activists here interfere. but. is
2:18 pm
unrelentingly optimistic the 31 year old wants to keep pushing for a more democratic russia and he says he's willing to take personal risks to further strengthen the role of civil society in his home city and the whole to their region . the example of alexina vali who came back to russia knowing that he would almost definitely be arrested strengthens my sense that sometimes you have to pay a personal price in order for you and your country to have a bright future. now and that he wants to register as a candidate for the regional parliament in the upcoming elections he hopes his association with now by nice team won't get him barred from running. let's bring in emily ashore when the author of this report emily as we heard group supporting of on they are in court today state prosecutors are calling for them to be labeled extremists what is the latest from the courtroom. the latest is that
2:19 pm
actually this trial has now been postponed today in court to june 9th prosecutors have asked for new material to be added to their case against 3 organizations associated with me and the lawyers defending those organizations have now been given time to study that material this case involves as i said 3 organizations including these anti corruption fund and this network of regional offices that we just saw in the report we don't know what the outcome ultimately be will be in this trial but it does kind of seem that the writing is on the wall because the state prosecutor was initially you know the initiator of this case in the 1st place they've been calling for these organizations to be made extremist and actually the work of those offices that we just saw across the country has actually already been stopped even in anticipation of the court's verdict which which is
2:20 pm
still upcoming and not exceed of unease allies for several weeks now have been saying that this is the final attempt of the authorities to dismantle their structure and that they have no illusions about. them on these groups have a lot of grassroots support you think that would change where they had to be labeled extremists. well these allies have said that they plan to keep up the work of their organizations kind of against all odds they say that the regional offices and people who've been working for them will be continuing their work without any centralized leadership and they also have been calling ahead of these elections for what they call a smart voting strategy which is essentially telling needs allies to vote for the candidate most likely to beat putin's united russia in the upcoming elections but
2:21 pm
the question is how successful they really can be we saw yes just now an optimistic office there in the city of tear but actually over 40 of his employees former employees volunteers have reportedly already left the country in anticipation of potential persecution and we don't know how this extreme mizzen law if it comes to pass will be used it could mean that even an old post about the on facebook could get you up to 15 days in jail so it seems like the authorities are really trying to stamp out any dissent and anything connected with alexei not by news organizations ahead of these upcoming parliamentary elections in september. 2 w.'s emily surely in some moscow thank you very much taiwan has introduced new restrictions to find a surge in covert 1000 cases the island had been praised for keeping the virus and bay until now but the last few weeks have seen infections rise today and announced
2:22 pm
a further 333 local cases the largest outbreak since the start of the pen demick in response the government has shut schools in the capital taipei and has banned all foreigners from entry or transit for a month unless they have a residency card. i'm joined now by correspondent joyce lee who joins us from taipei choice tell us more about these new restrictions. yes so schools will be suspended. starting from tomorrow and 28 may this will be the 1st time time on close schools since the endemic and borders also closed until. may and taiwan has a full. alert system. and. it's there in the on the level 3 of the large which means that people must wear a mosque at all times and in don't gatherings are limited to 5 people and out of
2:23 pm
gatherings on a minute all those that this is not a fool but a lot of people staying home by choice to hunting to spread out the pirates and they are. a city and you talk as if the. people to stay at home as much as possible and they say that the authorities stop the firing poll. which means they will lock down right taiwan has long been hailed as the poster child for a pandemic control so why is this happening now do we know what is causing this rise in infection numbers. it is false belief that. so much to sell and lines bringing back the case iran to taiwan but then in yesterday's press conference the authorities announced that. a one of the confirmed cases show
2:24 pm
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 and the hospital was. already on the edge right howard vaccinations coming along. so it's not i want to be. seen rolled out. march early march but the facts the nation great has been really low. less than one percent of the population has been taxon aged and. this was because on. low cases and the whole. since they don't
2:25 pm
feel the urgency to get a shot so now that. coming to taiwan the authorities are hoping that more people will get into. the job the vaccine lines announced today that more astra zeneca vaccines are going to come to taiwan no later than the end of june that was from taipei thank you very much. some simple news now and in the german bundesliga bros had thought knew that a win over mines with sweep them into the champions league next season instead of frankfurt's minds already clinched their top flight survival and it looked like their minds were already on summer vacation as doth one it's a victory. dortmund might have expected an easy raid against a might side with 5 changes and little to play for and there was certainly enough chumminess before kick off to make frankfurt funs wins. and their fears were
2:26 pm

2:28 pm
the fixed. india. having an address is a fundamental right that's long been denied to residents of slums a digital pilot project uses mobile data to give each house its own address. the publishing business videos fight off anything that wasn't there stuff it wasn't
2:29 pm
easy that did it because it would be cool. next to you. do you feel worried about the final. nature of. a meal i was focused on the green zones holocaust and some muslim remains challenge the solutions are out there . join me for a deep dark into the green transformation for me the food for the plants. this code. challenge a species. an expedition. looking to decipher the
2:30 pm
secret language of whales plus the exciting part of the underwater listening experience killing a window into their their life the numbers you would never see. see a company of the research team to the pacific to the. language of whales stars june 4th on t w. each one of us has the natural right to clean air to clean water. system but for many this is a distant dream because these people bear the maximum role of our collective
2:31 pm
extractive practices lead pollution before the state of destruction of the local ecosystem properly and for environmental justice is sold to dogs who more needed we'll talk about that over the next 30 minutes how long welcome to equal india some . to understand environmental justice better we 1st need to look at social justice poverty is a huge holdall to cross before prioritizing environmental sustainability in india the catastrophe cries and the number of core with 1000 cases has brought the country to a standstill a severe shortage of beds oxygen cylinders vaccinations and even cremation spots has meant that the poorest of the poor could have a slim chance of beating the disease india's urban poor often living in slums or informal settlements have always struggled to get basic facilities be to health
2:32 pm
care clean water or access to sanitation with darley on some occasions these facilities are in accessible because of the lack of a clear address for a false report before covered 19 wallsend in india we met an architect helping strikethrough this basic of wood block for many residents in all her port. in western india home to nearly 4000000 people like in most indian cities many inhabitants live in slums haphazard settlements usually excluded from urban planning policies and difficult to navigate until recently finding an exact location was impossible over 1700 families live here it's a legal settlement but no one has an individual address. today however this pizza delivery is being made right up to one doorstep. and it's thanks to this unique number a google plus called based on the latitude and longitude location of
2:33 pm
a place. it's a blessing. she runs an electronic store next door and often needs to order supplies online she now uses a plus cord as address on google maps and says the material is delivered right to her home i know for this is the code i've been given for the accurate location earlier if someone wanted to come and deliver to our house or have a relative who is visiting here to call us and we had to guide him on the phone using landmarks like rickshaw stands or nearby shops and we thought we had to sometimes go and pick him up now i have none of those hassles one of us and i like . the plus cords of the work of but it was all she and her team the architect and founder of the non-governmental organization shelters who sits has been using data to improve conditions in shantytowns they work across 7 cities in the state of maharashtra. the digital and chris is the most recent initiative for which they've partnered with google they put up a slum up on the board. for
2:34 pm
every house you know you see the location address that we have for down it's probably a game changer because now there will be an address for every house which is never the case in the vast land you want to get from now i'm going to have an emergency for the fire i'll fix anything. you can give me everything possible to make sure that you get the service record all step documents team have mapped and marked this whole slug the largest in the city of course but not everyone understands the initiative this man says he has no idea what the border with the numbers meant for he doesn't own a smartphone and has never heard of google and google going to do little that's the reason but he must conduct regular information sessions and say. look i was explaining what class cords are and what they can be used for for example getting the cooking gas cylinders delivered to their doorsteps every month you would look at a lot of it at the destination and lock on about the concept is still new but many
2:35 pm
young residents here have smartphones and on creative use google maps individual addresses could help residents open bank accounts and access services more easily in the future the technology i mean look simple but creating the glasgow is far from easy. 230 kilometers away in the city of bonnie a team of data analysts work at the n.g.o.s main office this specialized in using a graphic information system so-called mapping. led the use satellite images as well as mapping to generate as accurate digital of course as possible a tricky task in a slum what you see is interested roof right you don't know what's happening under the roof and you might think this is one house and then when you go on the ground you later find like it actually tree i don't know that for so you cannot just you we've got a satellite image for it if you're going to just know that there is absolutely no substitute for feet wizards and feet mapping. the architect says the same method is
2:36 pm
also used to map infrastructure in the slums for public toilets manholes grain networks water samples and garbage bins all the data is on the website this is very useful even for an administrators sitting at their desk if they can just open up these maps and then they can see ok what we're not the networks that we were really the water department they can just literally go through every 2nd month and see what is the outreach of walk up in that particular 2nd month so this is the week it's them in planning for me behavior is the foundation it's just experience buying off anything that you are going to the restaurant pretty close increasing that is in. the details also allowed to make a big push into sanitation in more slums the only option for residents to relieve themselves a community toilets like these would often like running water involve long waiting
2:37 pm
times and force health hazards because of unsanitary conditions. but the most focused is an individual toilets in this settlement call up all the team found through the mapping that there was a shortage of reinvent works the details been pointed the exact location of a few existing lines that connected to the city's train network making it easier for municipal authorities to know where to leave the new sewage lights that is essential for toilets to be built really involved in this project brings an additional new job out of the works of the city's sanitation department he says the data provided by the mass group has helped improve services and cut rates of open devastation the dark by really important in a global project if you know the exact location of mine all exact location of where the line is going to mainline or where out of the chamber. then it is very useful to clean the brillant really with their gear when redeemer dr brewer. this
2:38 pm
rio we are 1st in the model because in research if the length of networks has kicked off a toilet building spree creating jobs for masons and laborers the n.-g. o. provides the building material families who can afford to pay for the construction subcultural pretty recently got her own toilet built for the 1st time and says it's given her a feeling of safety and privacy like i have a teenage daughter and using the community toilet in the slum is dangerous especially at night men used to hang around and harass us with drains being laid we decided to build a toilet in our own home. across going up or but they must have facilitated the construction of close 220000 individual toilets to date the mapping technology has gone a long way towards creating a safer and cleaner environment for residents means having a more livable slum. making sure that people have basic rights can
2:39 pm
lead them to finding ways to also fight for environmental justice but what about climate justice if you want to stand who is responsible for climate change and who was most impacted then you know who have to address these demands to put a fair solution let's look at this in detail. climate justice. climate justice now. that we have more and more. climate justice for racial justice social justice intergenerational justice this is why we call not only for climate action but climate just 2 words but could define the century there is no climate justice without racial justice the call. just as with. their 'd doctors with where john. but what exactly does climate change have to do with
2:40 pm
justice. real in this together. to understand climate justice we need to understand climate injustice who cause of climate change and who's hurt by it let's 1st look at who's responsible for putting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and heating the planet. imagine this grain of rice is one tonne of carbon dioxide each year the average person in nigeria obsolescent one grain into the atmosphere the average person in india 2 grains in china 7 grains in germany 10 grains in the us 17 grains in one year the average american pleats 20 times more than the average in nigeria. but the problem with carbon is that it stays trapped in the atmosphere for centuries so it's not just about how much we had each year it's about how much was piled up at the time since 850 that adds up to about 1500 gigatons. ok so we want to put a load of these rights back on the table to show you how big that really is but
2:41 pm
after doing the math we realize we need 3000000 of them. historical emissions matter today because countries are arguing about how soon they have to cut emissions down to their big polluters like china india and brazil less guilty when you consider they've only recently become part of the problem. but that doesn't tell us anything about you know why are. there says prakash cush one a political scientist researching climate justice he said the rich countries haven't accepted how unjust climate change really is. it's my kind of inequality. there are going to be couldn't play with christ they're unbelievable and they aren't talked about enough. in 2020 research just touch it and how each country is
2:42 pm
responsible for pushing cyr to levels beyond to say threshold that we crossed in 1900 the study takes into account how many people live in a country how much they meant to throughout history and include the mission of the cross border through trade goods and. the research shows that countries have outspent their carbon budgets by a lot the global north of the method 92 percent of the c o 2 that push the planet beyond safe levels asia africa the middle east and latin america have emitted just 8 percent and even a mass of the middle china has only just using up its carbon budget now. but if you live in a country that runs on fossil fuel with meth doesn't mean climate change is your fault personally but some of your choices do still make a difference. because not just about where you live but also how much you spend the world's richest one percent of it's twice as much of the poorest 50 percent and they delete live all over the world. on equal emissions are one big reason why climate activists are shouting about justice. and everyone already is.
2:43 pm
but if we look at. germany and sitting at. supplanted by the same amount whether it comes from germany or kenya the climate doesn't care about. well. about the climate. the 2nd part of climate injustices that even the poor countries have done the least to change the climate they're the ones getting the most. to take heat wave and drought . heatwave the becoming most from variable across africa where droughts are even more punishing for crops. than the storms.
2:44 pm
means that hurricane and typhoons carry more energy and more rain and stronger winds across the tropics. and by 2050 sea levels will have risen so high that floods which used to hit once a century will strike many coastal cities every single year. the inequalities of climate change come to the hardest in a country like india even those people have barely contributor to global warming they're among the most vulnerable india's coastal cities are facing unprecedented floods while its rivers dry up leaving fama struggling to grow staples like rice and wheat. india is one of the most equitable countries in the world and. we can see is that even if you take a city like mumbai. in this city it's the poor are the most impacted. there says pile perth a climate scientist who campaigns full time for climate justice having grown up in
2:45 pm
a country like india. i grew up with inequality all around me and this is essentially what it comes down to the world is very unequal and it's playing out in terms of climate change as well but that inequality is found within rich countries to black and brown people in countries like the u.s. so the u.k. are typically poorer than white people and that means they have less money to spend on air conditioning to add up to heat waves flood insurance to rebuild after storms . so how can you make a fair. well polluting countries can 1st time off the c o 2 top and start removing the pollution from the atmosphere then they could pay reparations for using up more than their fair share of emissions. some countries and companies already doing something similar by paying for countries to not chop down forests and instead pantries but instead of using that saved carbon to atone for their climate debts they're using it.
