the world more just. make up your. w. 4 minds. this is the w.'s line from. the conflict between israel and the palestinians the un warns of the fighting has displaced more than 50000 palestinians in gaza also programmed. to fly to the country's north african tapestry to deal with a growing crisis for thousands of migrants from its border with. 2

years of terror under so-called islamic states residents of the syrian state here try to veto to a normal life. or is a few days after the. last year's contest so the finals take place this week with a grand final set to the south of. the program. the diplomatic search for a ceasefire between israel and hamas militants in gaza is intensifying france backed by israel's neighbors egypt and jordan has drafted a resolution calling for a ceasefire and the palestinian ambassador to the u.s. is demanding immediate action united nations says more than 50000 palestinians have

been displaced many caught up in the violence are children. rescued from what was once her family's home destroyed in an ass trike. she was buried in the rubble hours as her siblings and mother died around her calling for help. 2 days later she's recovering with her father in hospital severely traumatized her name is susie. some had. heard the voice of my children from beneath the rubble calling me i heard my son's voice calling dad dad before he suddenly became silent. he's 2 and a half years old and my daughter was calling me dad dad

a few words then she went silent to. susie isn't speaking she's only just started to eat and drink again the doctors say they cannot get susie the psychological help she needs because of the fighting. if any victims are innocent here it's the children. gaza health officials say at least $63.00 children have died in airstrikes in israel a 5 year old boy was killed by hamas rockets. are suffering every day fear and. loss of sleep. hospitals already struggling with the pandemic are stretched to their limits essential covert 19 test lap has also been destroyed.

more rockets were fired from gaza on tuesday. most of them intercepted by israelis defense system. israel says it's targeting leaders of the militant hamas movement and its systems of tunnels inside gaza prime minister binyamin netanyahu says they will continue as long as it takes to restore security. i've received your views about many attacks against thomas and islamic jihad they received blows they did not expect i have no doubt that we set them back many years. but for susi and the many other children caught up in this conflict the trauma could last even longer. as going straight to jerusalem where we find a w correspondent a tiny crime

a welcome time you will start with the children clearly the fighting is taking a toll on the children on both sides of this conflict. well absolutely it's devastating as seen and every poor if you look at gaza if you're a person today 20 years old you probably haven't had the chance to see anything else but gaza because there has been a close a blockade imposed by israel also partially by egypt since 2007 ever since hamas took power in gaza and this during this time today and young people have seen at least 3 wars and now this force escalation and several other escalation it's never if you're in gaza you never have to finish to be safe anywhere and this is what people there tommy also you know you have to hunker down at home hoping you're going to be safe and also parents tell me they can protect their children and children feel that that their parents can't protect them so these are just

a few impressions how difficult it is for people for young people especially in gaza but also in the south if it's very very thin reporting as well over the years especially they're well also doing you know in between those periods of larger as collations people are tech by rocket fire you know young kids already learned to have to be very quick to run to have only a few seconds to be in a safe room and stay there so the impact of all of this is very severe on children and young people and so how much progress is being made in negotiations towards bringing about a cease fire. well there have really conflicting that total it's a change as almost every hour what is coming out from mediation efforts that seem to go on behind the scenes of course that also international efforts we understand the rest some reports that egypt as one of the leading many to sit together with

qatar and the united nations are putting forward a proposal for that kind of talk dia that's a concept of a human you tearing quite down maybe as early as thursday but nothing has been confirmed there were also reports already last night that both sides could maybe see a kind of cease fire on thursday morning that that was very quickly denied so at the moment i think we just have to money to the situation and wait and see how how this develops and i thank you for that tiny crime in jerusalem we'll take a look now at some of the other news making headlines at this hour the u.s. has condemned what it says were and to semitic remarks made by turkey's president that it time the state department hasn't specified the contents it's referring to president obama has criticized israel for conducting ass trucks on gaza accusing it of carrying out terrorism against palestinians. prosecutors in the u.s.

state of new york say their investigation into former president trump is now a criminal inquiry is widens an investigation into the finances of the trump organization the former president has previously described the probe as politically motivated. and you know many family minister has announced her resignation once this gift he has been facing accusations of plagiarism concerning a doctoral dissertations you submitted more than 10 years ago in a statement must give defended her work saying she had done it to the best of her knowledge but that the german public deserves clarity on the issue. in. spain where the prime minister petro sanchez has made an emergency trip to the north african territory i met worse than relations with morocco on monday a record number of migrants crossed into theatre from morocco in

a single day spain's interior ministry says many have already been sent back. they kept arriving all day most of the african migrants reached by swimming some 2 kilometers along the coast of morocco or on land passing a 10 metre high wall which spain had erected more than 8000 people cross the border into the spanish enclave on monday a single day record spanish official said spain deployed the army to patrol the border and sent the migrants back to morocco soldiers did not shrink from using force. about half the people who are arrived have since been expelled back to morocco. spanish prime minister of sanchez visited center to show the government support before the trip for me the state. miracle percent of my priority as spain's prime minister at this moment is to guarantee the control of

transit through the border with morocco provide the cities of south then 1000000 with everything they need to resolve the humanitarian crisis as a result of the arrival of people and to proceed with the immediate return of people and i repeat the immediate return of everyone who has made a new regulation can say that in millions as stipulated in the agreements of spain in morocco have signed years ago if your models can matter of course there's nothing. migrants from africa have been attempting to get into europe via this speech for years but they have never crossed in such numbers. some reports as well as this food just more a complete allowed many of the migrants to cross over to sail to unhindered because of a diplomatic spat with spain morocco is upset that a separatist leader who is seeking independence for the western sahara region ruled by morocco is currently getting medical treatment in spain officials in madrid say

they are further reinforcing security and so to prevent any further arrivals. it's from hong. he's a member of the european parliament from the spanish group of the progressive alliance of socialists and democrats isn't on the parliament's committee on civil liberties justice and home affairs welcome to d w is this problem in the face purely a spanish matter or should the e.u. become involved. it is actually a european issue because it happens that certainly you are the only terrestrial action or border all the european union with the african continent more than that it's the more the most and equal external border in the whole planet there is nothing like it not between mexico or the united states not between south korea and north korea the most unequal so it is an issue for the whole of the european union

and it's not a migratory situation it's a diplomatic situation with political component elements it's only obvious that these youngsters including minors have been launched by moroccan police forces precisely to put pressure on a situation which actually puts a challenge to spanish handling of egypt's journaled border in the 1st place but it also puts a challenge to the whole european union so again it's a situation in which we have to claim the binding solidarity and shared responsibility which are the pillars of the european union when it comes to an area broadly just in security so do you believe then that the e.u. should intervene on both counts they migrate an issue on spain's route with morocco and if so what should brussels be doing. but of

course but of course the prime minister of spain has actually asked for and of taine the full support from the leaders of the main european institutions in the european of conjecture including commission of the lion including vice president skin us which is responsible for these including the commission of your house which is the home commissioner for migration on asylum and security matters and including the president of the european parliament so yes it is time to be aware that the. sinister dziedzic. neighbor for all of the european union it is 1st thing for one thing but it seems insincere not just just because all of the european union and so they have expressed their european or forces of express solidarity with spain fine what now should they do beyond talk.

if well they have to support spain when he comes to all of the financial tools and funds which are a disposal of a member state which has for some of your kind of a crisis situation or an external border of the european union and we have put in place those allocations the security internal security fund the asylum immigration fund in order to provide for the assistance and the social care which is needed for the unaccompanied minors that have been launched through the sea because for the adults there is always the possibility to return because they are binding treaties with morocco signed by spain and morocco which are also compulsory to the other part which is morocco so a matter of putting all the political pressure to get things right in place and

back to normal the sooner the better thank you so much for joining us. thank you for having me. that's a serial way people living in the city of wrath are trying to rebuild the city after it was nearly destroyed a couple of of the so-called islamic state the city lies in the country's north east in 2013 it was captured by the jihadist group which then turned it into the headquarters of its self-styled caliphate after years of fighting it was recaptured in 2017 by the us back to sudan products forces made up of mostly kurdish militia they and not the syrian government still control the city which is trying to move. back on the pitch at least what's left of it the rocker football clubs junior players are in their own stadium after a long break. dried out grass and traces of corn

a truck know it smells of rotten flesh. under so-called islamic state this was a place of torture is suffering and death cancer hussein's father was one of many executed by us he was a well known professional football player and his 14 year old son hopes to follow in his footsteps elected lead as a model i can't say how much i miss him he used to play here i used to watch him i remember exactly how it was i have the feeling he's here with us. s m f i'd certainly is a former professional athlete the jihad is for bait him from playing them or even watching football on t.v. now he's training this year's team and is looking to the future for the. people who loved life and sports used to come together here but we must go back to that place

to peace and love said the so-called islamic state is nothing but a dark episode in the history of russia just. a look at. the stadium manager takes is the need the benches to where the changing rooms once were it was here that your heart is set up a torture chamber area is closed to the public. as sam is seeing it for the 1st time in years i yes brutally tortured hundreds of people here using mediæval methods. the victims were confined and isolated in toilet stalls sun in extremely cramped spaces in which they were on able to move. no one knows exactly how many people were killed here some of the victims' names are still written on the walls

desperate pleas for help before they were put to death. there's a will it was terrible to say this hopefully this will never happen again in our history. raca is a traumatized city a stronghold of iowa's terror in 20143 years later a symbol of liberation kurdish units took control after weeks of u.s. air raids. since then life has returned to these ruins squares where people were once executed now believed. to have these women lost their husbands to i.a.s. now they read here and plant new flower beds. and in moscow this should be a square full of flowers but instead they put to capitated heads up here to intimidate

people it still makes me shiver. back at the football club s m f i zone is hoping to teach these young players to have fun and regain their confidence after years of war and terror he's helping them look forward even if their future is completely uncertain. let's also look at the future that does stand just see research fellow at the institute for middle east studies welcome to day w m s people iraq to try to return to some sort of give us an idea of how stable syria is now. well obviously it's very uncertain because especially in the areas that are between the kurdish that forces and between the forces and russia i said there was always kind of this dispute going on it's not really clear what the future looks like it's not really clear what the post-war structure really

looks like and that is something that is really used by isis also we have to remember that you cannot make situation is very very bad we had to record all of the syrian pound this year we have situations where not even bread could be produced anymore because flour prices were so high so we have a lot of economic problems we have a situation where also the kurdish autonomy is isolated where a border crossings to turkey and iraq are closed completely are hardly used so it's both political and economic instability coming to get them all right so it's still a mess that the u.n. estimates that rebuilding syria is going to tell something like a $250000000000.00 now the u.s. and the e.u. say they're not going to help fund the reconstruction as long as president assad remains in power he's determined to stay so where will the money come from. well that's absolutely unclear as of now if used in the credit administration

everything is done somehow through attaining products for the black market trying to get money and also get funding from humanitarian organizations that have some access there but there is really no real idea how this could happen in the big scale of funding so people are really left alone especially during this corona pandemic it shows more and more and it's quite hard to say something like this because it's clear that assad has the upper hand but it's unclear how people are going to build up their lives there again now people are supposed to return because on the other side we should not forget that there's a 1000000 south refugees refugees in turkey that turkey is trying to push back to syria and it's absolutely clear how this pushback can happen in a democratic and humanitarian way without allowing turkey to use this as a weapon also for their own aims and syria and so from what you said that there is

no plamann from that i said regime about what happens post conflict it's just let's get through this problem and deal with it later is that right. absolutely it's just playing with the present. situation that you have on the world fear it's playing with the situation that you have in the relation of russia and also the relation between turkey and iran and to play in here so it's really playing on time trying to play in the long run trying to have as much control that possible and really what that is really betting on is that the u.s. will withdraw from the middle east that the u.s. will just say ok that we cannot do anything anymore that they will let down the kurdish forces and that they can take over that kurdish territory because then it would be may just switch and power so that's really the big danger that we have and that is the danger that could bring i think back again thank you so much for

joining us and outlining not for us it does time just seen from the get institute for middle east studies thank you. now it's kitschy who we're down to a lot of people the highlight of the year your vision song contest held every year since 1956 except last year when it was canceled because of the pandemic well now it's back so we finals take place this week with the main event hosted by the netherlands happening on saturday the w's max caught up with some fans before the big event. i know they're getting ready for the world's biggest music contest dimitri event d'evelyn and get our diehard your vision fans despite the pandemic limiting this year's event they're excited for to go ahead in their hometown. to do everything all outs and. more.
