european football championships a 2 years after they've. lost. your vision is back after the pandemic cancelled last year's contest so i mean finals take place this week i don't set for saturday. i'm phil gayle welcome to 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 u.n. resolution calling for a ceasefire and the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. is demanding immediate action united nations says more than 50000 palestinians have been displaced many caught up in the violence the children.

rescued from what was once her family's home destroyed in an airstrike. she was buried in the rubble for 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. farley. i 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 suzy this psychological help she needs because of the fighting. as it is said that if any victims are innocent here it's the children. garcia 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 gaza central probably 19 test lap has also been destroyed.

more rockets were fired from gaza on choose. most of them intercepted by the 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 be store security about this 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. more from mass and ny communications officer with save the children who we saw in that welcome to you clearly this conflict is taking

a toll on children while you see. thank you very much for having me again i mean it's unfortunate and it's very sad that this cult like this continuing to allow this is that day and children continue to suffer and as you said in your report there are 64 children killed now until now in gaza and more than 450 injured and worse for all the children who will survive this they will live with the trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder which will affect them for years to come i mean the fear and anxiety and sleeplessness we are seeing. the children we talk to the tellers they had they're having nightmares i'm shivering consistently they're afraid and this will continue with them for a very long time i mean we've done our research in 2018 and that was 4 years after the 2014 war on gaza and even then 4 years after the war children were still

displaying symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder sleeplessness all. the fear whenever they hear a sound of. an airplane or fear whenever they hear the sound of all the explosions unfortunately this is going to all show them for years to come right i don't want to come onto a point because they did even when there is not a hot conflict even when the rockets aren't flying the ever present threat of resumption of hostilities in a conflict. i'm guessing is going to war not only that their world view but just the way they grow up into adults. you know that's true and i mean for the. it's not one conflict and then we're all for it it's a constant cycle for full fiscal ation that keeps happening and to give you a simple example my daughter was born during the war of 2014 and she's now 6 years

and a half and throughout those 6 years and a half of her life she has she seen various rounds of escalations explosions happening she's she's she heard the sounds and unfortunately this is part of their understanding of the world their understanding of her experience on the planet earth similar to many children in gaza what struck me i was walking with her about a year ago and she told me that she misses her uncle my brothers in the netherlands and she said i miss him isn't he going to come back why didn't he come back what if there's an airstrike and bombing in other lands and this shocked me that my daughter thinks this is normal and this is everywhere on the wall that this is not only in gaza and the very specific places and this is what's happening with all children i mean the blockade on gaza has been there for 14 years and this has affected every aspect of life there is electricity there is a huge shortage and if there's you shortage in water supply you shortage in india

in the little medical services. and a lot of things that are missing in the gaza strip this is what the children have to grow up to and there will be unfortunately if we if there is not all of the solution to the underlying issues and the main cause and lifting the gaza blockade and all of that we fear that we might be in a vicious cycle of violence and an escalation of that would just all numb pack the children for life he said and he said. is that perhaps the idea of a prophet on both sides that children growing up under the circumstances are they likely to be radicalized if i can give. both sides of this conflict into the into just viewing them as reality. i mean this is a very fair point and this is a good question and this brings up the question of is there hope for peace and we

strongly believe that the children will shape the future and we need to save their lives and save their. and wellbeing and they seem to lose their mental health and that's why we're going to as issues like save the children and many other ones the conflicts in the previous conflicts ended and also this one we invest a lot in working on the mental health of children the mental health of grownups as well their parents who have also been through the various cycles but this is these conflicts like this and attacks on civilians and the death and loss and destruction is not going to lead to peace in any way and this is very very clear and we. should get things back to normal if normal is actually acceptable and that's why we called for the end of the blockade for 4 years ago and this hasn't happened and now we see it we find ourselves in the in another cycle of violence is this going to be the

last because i don't think so or like you know i would love to feel it to think it's going to be the last but if the underlying issues are not addressed and the gaza blockade on gaza is not lifted this is going to be dangerous i don't know like children who have gone through one war or 2 or 3 or 4 if they got to look at the future and say there is hope for the future we have a nice neighbors listen if they'll gather around all of these things so they had to be yes this will have an impact unfortunately on their understanding and there are probably. a whole for about the future thank you so much for joining us as a name from save the children in gaza. meanwhile germany's foreign minister heiko massa's just spoken on the israeli palestinian crisis and cold on palestinian militants to make the 1st step so yes 1st of all the rocket terror of hamas must stop so that the bloodshed and the weapons finally

fall silent that remains our top priority not only here for us in germany but for the entire european union world and only in this way can the humanitarian aid get to the civilian population in the gaza strip that too is part of the truth that we need to improve the humanitarian situation of the people in gaza to prevent how must from being able to exploit them for its own ends of the visa mention mobilise here and german foreign minister hi come back 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 anti semitic remarks made by turkey's president imagine time to one of the state department hasn't specified the comments it was referring to as in durban has criticised israel for conducting strikes on gaza accusing it of carrying out terrorism against palestinians. the indian navy is searching for dozens of people still missing from

a barge that sank off mumbai on tuesday during a cycling it's been cold in the southeast of the region decades thousands of homes in the western state of goods were damaged. after 6 months of coronavirus restrictions france has just taken a big step towards reopening public life outdoor diving is now permitted at cafes restaurants and past them not at full capacity cultural values including cinemas theaters and museums are also back in business it's the next stage of the government's plan to ease the country out of lock down its fascination campaign has picked up and the infection rate has dropped the case loads in some areas do remain high. let's go to paris and you and i where we joined doubly correspondent lisa duis who was in front of the louvre welcome liza how are prisons feeling today. well i think people in paris but also across france are feeling inferior because

they can finally go back to places such as bath and restaurant terraces i actually went to a cafe this morning i had my 1st sight * breakfast in about 6 months and i felt really good about that actually and other people are going back to don the censure shops they going to the theater to see the master have reopened today with certain moves in place and also to museums such as the louvre the words biggest museum right right behind me obviously there are strict rules in place here at the louvre you have to keep wearing your musk inside you have to book tickets online and also they say only one visitor allowed for 8 square metres mind you that's not such a big problem at this huge museum where there are about 50000 square meters a ping to visitors today and some visitors have told me that they're really actually excited to see these words in vila actually and you know at the museum not online anymore because it's just not the same said one visitors with

a tell let's hear what other people told us earlier today here in france about the reopening of all these places i today feel great. i feel like back to right back to life and seem to be born in the streets happy. yeah just like no no more than. coming back to natural things if you barry says we live in such small apartments we don't have the space necessary to entertain or to meet with large piece of people we don't have any outdoor space to terraces to become part of your life you see you know where you meet people. where you meet people who either to have a dream he said tribes in the desert here i mean the main thing in paris it's mean a lot of that to me and you know the cop at 19 to start to finish you know one. so opening the piece and all the museums around all go public that's good for us you

know we feel more freedom you know it's good i'm happy. about. president democracy has said that we have to rediscover our french lifestyle but there is still a curfew in force and we have this new more infectious coronavirus variant in europe. rediscovering the french lifestyle is going to be quite tricky business. but it's will be tricky but people are trying in my present not call themselves went to a profit this morning and had a coffee with one of his ministers and he was saying that on social media obviously it is a risky bet as you said infection rates are still quite high in here in france across france the incidence that is the knee infections pro 100 people in 800000 people each week it's still above 100 around 140 and in paris and reason it's above 200 say the government is aware of the fact that the numbers are still quite high

that have been coming down over the past few weeks but the government is hoping that they will keep going down despite the easing off restrictions the crucial step will come in a few weeks time when restaurants and bars allow to let their clients inside actually have their coffee and have their meal inside and that's where the infection risk is high as he said it is also those who leave the rides trains that are coming to france and the government is worried about that you can see that you can hear that they're saying we're happy to find back our freedom but we also still have to be careful so please everybody cross-fire be careful respect the rules so that we can keep opening our country in the near future. rashid well thank you for that because from that lisa luce in paris. spain's prime minister pedro sanchez says morocco is showing the e.u.

a lack of respect by allowing migrants to cross into the north africa. which is spanish territory mr sanchez made an emergency trip to the region after a record number of migrants crossed into saved from morocco in a single day spain's interior ministry said many had 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 crossed 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 beard of centuries visited to show

the government support before the tricking me this statement that. my priority is spain's prime minister at this moment is to guarantee the control of transit through the border with morocco provide the cities of so 10000000 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 to fuel aided in the agreements of spain in morocco have signed years ago because the. 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 to just more 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. some of them football and thomas mats homo surveying records of the german national squad for the european championships next month after 2 year absences for each of the kojak in love has been forced to recall them after their strong form in the bundesliga mullins had a stellar season with by unicron is the bundesliga top assist maker and the 31 year old never close the door on returning to the squad despite nerves saying in 2019 that he didn't need him any more turns out he did. on to the house from t w sports here to tell us some more about who's in and who's out of the germany say

welcome to me let's start with thomas mucha dumped from the german team in 2009 saying. let you live is trying to rejuvenate the team but in melisande since they didn't go so well by last 6 nil to spine but this is not just about what the german thing lacked in his absence miller went away and provided irrefutable proof via his incredible play that he belonged in this team he went away one he's 9th wonder play guitar at least 10 points like a title and the 2nd champions league title that fergie's brought to the table he's back in the squad because he did all of that he's now got the chance to fill in his regime may with the one final title that he doesn't have that thing of european championship i want about a month's homos was he back pretty similar story hasn't been as dominant for dortmund the defense as. has been for byron but that narrative box of very nice the sign this was he was another one of these giants that he. chopped down trying to make some space in german football for young talent to come up behind some of these

legends who won the 2014 world cup but having got rid of got rid of the boy tang as well and got rid of mulla he stood around waiting for the next crop and nothing promptly happened no one came up from above to displace them and now they're back in the team but don't take my word from it we're going to take a listen to you live and how he explained mr millet and mr homos coming back into the euro squad. for you can i use to neo a successful tournament is extremely important for german football and the whole nation so we have decided to recall mats hummels and thomas miller who have both had a very strong season and. i think that their leadership qualities and how they are on the pitch sure fuel could help the team. this is a month off them. any other surprises in the 26 from your love note i think that's going to do it from surprises from from yogi live you took a look at a time lapse of your style of a 30 years it hasn't changed much it's got

a little grayer and here feel lot like most of us but he's not one for surprises he's not going to turn up with a mohawk and a can of red bull he's done in this case though it doesn't just reflect. a lack of imagination from from you this is about just what he's got to work with he tried to regenerate and it didn't work after 15 years of college we're left with the story now about german football for the run man takes is that he's got one last chance with the same players that he did it with in 2014 and they going to try to do it again with a familiar school a very familiar ok and this familiar squad has it likely to to fare at the european championships without the rose colored glasses on they might struggle they've got 3 games in munich which is a positive but they've also got fronts the world champions in their group they've also got the year it's european champions portugal in the group and hungry as well they have got in arguably tough job which starts in $34.00 days' time in munich right as an image is going to stay with me forever you know you love with

a mohawk and a kind of radical idea how different a different sport thank you speaking of kitschy and often we're for a lot of people it's the highlight of the year talking of course not about you know you love but the eurovision song contest it's been held every year since 1956 except last year it was canceled because of the pandemic well now it's back 7 finals take place this week with the main event hosted by the netherlands happening on saturday w.'s mark zandi catching up with some fans before the big event. they're getting ready for the world's biggest music contest dimitry the event d'evelyn and are diehard your vision fans despite the pandemic limiting this year's event they're excited for it to go ahead in their hometown. everywhere to do everything all out. and. more

toned down but the fact that. my heart so happy. singers and bands from 39 countries will participate in this year's you're a vision. and 18 year old singer from malta. if you excuse my friends the winner of this year's contest will be chosen here in rotterdam a whole. inside rehearsal's are ongoing with. next up is switzerland during rehearsals the seats remain empty but when the contest takes place up to $3500.00 fans will fill the arena it's a big challenge to do that while maintaining safety during the pandemic everyone is tested at least once every 48 hours to make sure that we don't get any infections inside the. secondly of course it's the usual measures it's.

social distancing at all at all places except if you're sitting and can maintain your social distancing as a backup all 39 contestants have recorded performances in case of infections for me to point to. is also excited to finally perform in front of a live audience again. he'll be singing for the host country the netherlands his song birth of a new age isn't 2 people standing up for themselves with his powerful message he is one of the frontrunners in this year's event. my song. resilience about knowing your own worth your self-worth and realizing that that is the thing that keeps you standing on both of your feet in difficult times it's also an ode to people who stand up for themselves and who claim their space within their

society within the world saying i deserve respect i deserve to be seen as a rich has a stomach roy says sharing his music with europe and the world is an awesome thing but he admits that he dismissed those typical eurovision it's. a pity that you don't get to meet like a lot of the fans sometimes our fans standing like the venue and that's that's a nice moment always because they always want pictures yesterday they were singing the chorus of my song you know and then you get like a taste of what. you know what it probably usually is your vision experience this song contest comes at a challenging time this year but the fans are determined to celebrate their champions no matter what. she's time's reminder of our top story this hour france backed by israel's

neighbors that egypt and jordan has drafted a resolution calling for a ceasefire in the conflict between israel and hamas militants in gaza palestinian ambassador to the u.s. is demanding immediate action united nations says nearly 60000 palestinians have been displaced. that's it you're up to date will world news of the top all be are up next on t.w. made in germany looking at how innovation drives the fickle good. the the. good.

the the. cut. because. when you combine mission to way that makes it go friendly transportation and oberlin start up that recycles batteries from electric cars but you get. our emissions free cargo bikes for women who live in the countryside.

mobility for zimbabwe to co-found for cup. double you. could use crime fighters are back africa's most successful radio drama series continues this season the stories focus on hate speech cholera prevention and sustainable charcoal production. all of a sow's are available online and of course you can share and discuss on africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. crime fighters to mindanao. it's an ongoing quest story at the. arab spring began in

2011. people stood up against corrupt rumors and dictatorship. true more security more freedom more dignity have their hopes been fulfilled 10 years of now after the arab spring. rebellion starts june 7th on d w. hello and welcome to this new edition of eco offered your weekly environment magazine co-produced and generally. i don't curse the loaves and i'm looking forward to presenting to the show would be a wonderful colleague in kampala hi there chris nice to see you again i am sundra

to no deal and a big candle to all of us out there thank you for joining us again in the next half hour we'll be showing you some amazing environment ideas from europe and africa here is what is shortly. in kenya tourists maybe some really talk to those are. planting trees can be fun as well as an eco friendly mission. to wear a helmet to fungus. with reported a lot about electric cars on the reduced impact on the environment it is certainly far better to drive electric than the fuel pond of because what happens to the electric batteries once they used simply throwing them away isn't a sustainable now a german company has found a way of giving the batteries

a 2nd means of life and some of which will be used by projects in africa to. be. driving a 3 wheeled electric komba is a major step towards independence for these women and one in zimbabwe. it allows them to take their vegetables to the market on their own. start up the mobility for africa rents out the many electric transporters for a reasonable price. in environmentally friendly it's doesn't pollute the air nor noise pollution as it's. seriously if he doesn't have those explosives and those fossil fuel engine at the moment the humbles are outfitted with standard lithium ion batteries which are often discarded when they run out of power the same holds true for those in the around 4000000 electric

vehicles worldwide. or very happy that you mobility is finally taking off but if you know carefully regenerator the next problem in a couple of years from now millions of lives use batteries will come on the market was no reset can we find a way to give these batteries a 2nd life it's at that point that to start ups came together simple ways mobility for africa and batteries in berlin it's founder i know who dick has years of experience in the automobile and airline industries so if he wants to see discharge batteries return to service for another 7 to 10 years wherever power supplies are patchy. these batteries when they come to us have around 70 percent of the initial storage capacity so they are way to where they are but to store them away we actually can do this better perk where we have 48 modules can build 6 of our bed repacks each of an in-car is $48.00 battery modules is tested for capacity and then

6 per bundle together to create a battery brand battery pack the modules may not all be in the same condition but the berlin based company has come up with the technology for i am not the difference. this electronics controls the safety of the bedroom pack and make sure that we can handle slight differences this in the aging and in quality of the modules it's taken 2 years to develop better is blue and gray casing the new battery packs are watertight and dust proof and user simply have to remove the old power pack and plug in the new one which can be charged with solar generated. energy. is ready to roll on simple boys roads to boost the women security and prevent theft the recycled packs are fitted with smart technology that allows mobility for africa to track them anywhere

and battery gets real time data on the state of their power packs as well. you can see in berlin what the battery in zimbabwe dust so we can manage it we can all or at the customer say now it needs a bit of repair or maintenance so we build more than the ecosystem around the bed 3 to optimize its usage and make it is easy for the customer as possible the goal is to go into mass production and to take back used packs to prevent them from landing in electronic waste down in africa or ensure they are properly recycled. for the work we work with partners residing specialist logistics specialist we have regional operational centers to make sure we can guarantee the despair is brought but it's hoped the experiences gained in zimbabwe will transfer to other economically weaker regions in africa asia and latin america the humber is one use

case but the main other use cases replacing small generators is pick up power for recruits or is primary power for. is no great sort of classic off grid. situation the battery packs are getting their 1st road tests in zimbabwe driving lessons are booked out and mobility for africa plans to expand. very useful to the service providers in this area. because for example the police needed. to domestic violence issues on our targets was to have. operational. after launching in zimbabwe better he wants to go global. to have 300000 units like 2030. reusing items like one thing

but wouldn't it be even better if they were more eco friendly project and process is all there in the 1st place in a team of young technologists have come up with some really interesting stuff. at 1st glance the helmet by a technologist past and schubert is wearing might look normal but he is hoping that it could spare had a green revolution. the entire interior of his bike helmet consists of fungus my silja men agricultural waste their foods extremely sustainable at the very go to tentative to the plastic interior of conventional helmets. a helmet made out of might sound bizarre but for schubert and his 2 colleagues it makes perfect sense back at the lab in the technical university in berlin all they need to do is to take the cells of the tin the fungus and mix them into a granular culture. this

is then added to have voiced the perfect snack for the fungus within some 10 days its roots my syria saw the defy the contents of the back. it's a shock absorbing material that can compete with petroleum based materials in many ways that was our main motivation there are so many products materials that end up in the trash cans such as e.p.a.'s foam expanded polystyrene that's the material that we're replacing in this helmet. makes up 30 percent of plastic waste in landfills worldwide that's a lot of. professional. first tests have shown that the helmet can even outperform conventional ones in safety terms. the team still needs to come up with

a sustainable outer shell and to ensure that the product is long lasting once they've solve those problems they want to go into business almost one in 4 cyclists in germany wear a helmet. that tom schmidt another by a technologist at the technical university of berlin discovered the novel he uses for fun be cheering a citizen science project that he led. these fascinating organisms on the the animal planet they come in many shapes and sizes. they love rainy days like this one and they have lived on this planet for millions of years. a fungus may well be the biggest living organism on earth. when they stick their heads out that's not even the tip of the iceberg but only a very small part you don't see the main body it penetrates the entire forest floor everything here is creating a communication network with other organisms that is constantly in operation the

organisms don't always like each other there is fierce competition. generally this contest for nutrients and territory completely passes by except when it's obvious for all to see as on the street trunk that's covered with a tinder fungus for trees this means a slow and there are also some of the tufts feeding on the organic material here. my celio piece 2 species meet inside the trunk it would be interesting to see how they interact with each other their competitors after all both want to decompose would. their ability to break down organic material is what gives them the energy to grow other materials at which they tend to steam discovered that the local tinder fungus works best for their peak plants for the fungus compas it after the initial growth phase it can be broken up into recrown and molds to create

different forms and sizes. but also put them up before i could certainly imagine that you could build whole walls from funky and the supporting frames from other components like wood if you wanted to remain recyclable i can certainly imagine that you could build a large house with it for. although the lightweight funky bricks are not a load bearing they could replace many of the building materials once they're dried and the growth of the mycelium is halted the brakes could replace polystyrene for example providing a much greener form of insulation. this compas it is also very flexible. that time schmidt and his colleagues are planning to scale up the work working together with architects and engineers to see where the material can still be optimized. it was and by talk license was on their part and we want to make

a contribution towards solving global problems of all where do we get our resources from how can we switch to a circular economy and how can we recycle used products and i think that funky material covers all those bases with which includes my parents and partially. grown in a controlled environment funky could just be the stuff to help build the houses of the future. we are all having a tough time doing this pandemic but when nature it has actually brought some bit of relief in many countries including kenya tourism has declined sharply. indeed as has sandra usually the bitches there ought to mean with torres but not touch whose have the sound almost to themselves and they've come to next that's prompted locals to pitch in to protect the harshly. making

a break for the ocean i newly hatched green sea turtle leaves its nest on to the beach its journey monitored by volunteers from a local organization the t.v. tuttle police on kenyan south coast. solaire macumba is one of them they need is dedicated to protecting the green sea turtle which is on the red list of n.b.a. just pushes he's happy that numbers are rebounding. this is. all used to. a few months ago a female tuttle went ashore near here and laid eggs now as the animals are hutchings so lame a company is worried because they are more sluggish than usual and on the away into the sea they fast many dangers crabs siegel's beach dogs but also humans.

what. people pose the biggest threat to the tuttles because they're used to it but it got mobilized. and tatters and turtle eggs are no longer being eaten but i will say the biggest danger to tuttles still comes from humans. i was a plant. deteriorate tuttle police was founded by the owner over small beach or turtle. in cooperation with the king of wildlife service and the local fishing community they patrol some 12 kilometers off course like money turn nasty and pick up the quest all the other members are all volunteers they're going ization has been helping them during the pandemic. and then shuttle program is helping us and we're getting some money but when we are on duty even if we go out to sea for 2 days we know that we'll receive some income later we can then at least use that to. take care of our children. learn but at

the but at the end of. pants to the part the tiny reptiles have a greater chance of survival and more harshly than before the members of the team we touch on police receive training in total ecology and pass on their knowledge to the community. of seeing what their project has achieved since 2019 we have not heard of any reports of anyone consuming tattoos or anyone killing or injuring tuttle's so the number of turtles that are dying has gone down and people have begun to understand even out of the water. what. about it. only a few meters separate the baby turtles from the south those who make it will travel thousands of kilometers across the oceans and the famous a likely to return in

a few years too late eggs of the.
