12:02 pm
rescued from what was once her family's home, destroyed in an air strike. she was buried in the rebel for hours, as her siblings and mother died around her, calling for help. the 2 days later, she's recovering with her father in hospital severely traumatized. her name is susie little on the matter of folly meant that along the way 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. what and my daughter was calling me, the dad dad. a few words. and she went silent to get him out
12:03 pm
of those these really army has been showing the gas strip targeting how much this tunnel systems there. they reported that they took aim at about 50 targets, but there's no guarantee there won't be innocent deaths to say we don't. we hope so why? we all want to say that we're doing that while doing the utmost to avoid civilian cars. the palestinian president, my food boss, has called for an immediate end to the fighting. i'm at home with the attacks and destruction in gaza. mar is really occupation lead the terrorism in a war crime that is punishable by international law. what the media had out, however, and into hostilities in the middle east still seems a long way off. meanwhile and gosh, i, susie still isn't talking and she's only just started to eat and drink again. the doctor say they can't get her the psychological help. she needs because of the
12:04 pm
fighting. if any victims are innocent here, it's the children. let's go straight to jerusalem and join data because month into tonya kramer, welcome tanya rocket attacks. israel seem to cease overnight feeling hopes that maybe there would be some sort of a c spy, but then the shelling stuff that again, what's happening? well, that's right. there was a pole you could say, a book coming out who goes it for a several hours has not reviewed mainly to it. so then israel, the community around because district. but also there was healthy bombardment in the gaza strip overnight, particularly the in the early morning, but also continued here in the past i was on the garden should be getting because of a lot of destruction in some areas. and this,
12:05 pm
at least one person killed and several injured, but the, expecting the numbers provide i must say they expect to reach a sci fi with israel within a day or 2. it's not plausible. well, what's the point is in the past days as well, there have been a lot of conflicting reports and always speculations no. then you reports out that suggest maybe by friday they could be a some kind of seats in place. but for now, we heard the official speaking from living on the expected day or 2, but we don't have any confirmation yet on anything in the ground. the it's diction variation efforts have been apparently is stuffed up. it's unclear or subordinate. the fibers look like if it would be something like a quiet wide or whether there conditions for if we just have to wait and see what's
12:06 pm
happening. i mean, well, gemini is problem is the high co mass, is that in israelis, one of the number of european foreign ministers visiting the region. how much leverage can germany apply in this? well, i think we've seen a lot of countries calling for a dick d escalation. of this conflict on the ones that expressing support for israel tried to defend itself, but also facing a lot of concern for the mounting number of civilian casualties and victims in israel. this visit by the germans for a minister mainly as a business of study. hyper lost a german 4 that has been here in israel, that she, if there's a need for the fight. but she also has reiterated it support for his rights to defend itself. again from us. so we don't really see at the moment,
12:07 pm
translation of all these calls for the escalation here on the ground. the rocket 5 s price is really strikes are continuing. and also it was tradition. even us present to buy a home for 2 israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that she wanted to see some kind of escalation within the next days or so. but so far we don't see anything that is happening here on the ground. that would suggest that the escalation at all. okay, thank you for that. that sounded tender at your isn't well, the german foreign minister spoke to the media shortly after his arrival in israel . he's what he had to say about the motivation behind his visit. if he had to come come here to day to assure you of solitary t. and we have emphasized again and again in recent days and will continue to do so
12:08 pm
in the future that israel has the right to defend itself against the massive, unacceptable attacks and cliff. it's a fact. and as long as now states and groups in this region where israel with destruction, it must of course, be able to protect his territory and its people. and to assure that this remains the case, germany will continue to play its part in the future. also, their chief is not limited to words that i have missed and what and when i got more of the germans involvement in this, then with that d, w j political editor mckayla, welcome mckayla. so we have the symbolism of hiker mass a being that but he said, but this is not going to be limited to words. so beyond the words, what can they do? well 1st of all, demonstrate physically that germany is standing at the side of israel and that was also received like that by the israeli foreign minister, who said he appreciated
12:09 pm
a friend visiting in such difficult times. but more concrete, of course it means that germany would continue to deliver military equipment, most notes of the submarines if required. if requested to israel and 4 minutes a mass also made clear that all accident on the israeli side he sees as covered by israel's rights to self defense at this very moment in time. so that's taking a very clear position at the same time he wants to continue working towards a 2 state solution and said that the limbo as recorded of recent years had strengthened extremist. so that's kind of a slight word of criticism that calling on all sides to do all they can or even more to find a way out of this acute fighting. and so if it's not to, to work out what sort of influences germany can bring to bear in this situation
12:10 pm
when it is it is, it is saying we support one side and it is arming only one side is this is also actually the criticism that high gammas got for none other than germany's president funk, right? that's fine. my himself, a former foreign minister who questioned how much of a difference done visit this moment in time could make, but it will also to other you foreign ministers. so it's also the you taking a sounds also having failed to actually find a common position because it was blocked by hungary on this very crisis. it is a very delicate balance for germany to try to continue to be an honest broker, to be perceived as an honest broker in the region while standing so time to be at the side of israel at the same time. high kumasi is also heading to ramallah, and he has pledged humanitarian support to palestinians. so that's where germany stands right now in this very open situation. thank you for that. so i did a very,
12:11 pm
she said we kind of cousin i will take a look at some other stories making headlines on demonstration demonstrates as and police of class in the columbia that you have met aid as a nation wide protest them to that week. and they would triggered by a government plan to raise taxes, but have since been fuel, but obviously inequality of police violence or the 40 people have been killed during a security crack. them protests have taken place in denmark against every penetration of syrian refugees. authorities recently revoked to the residency permits more than 2 hundreds timmins, many of whom lived in denmark. for years. this year, the danish government declared parts of syria to be safe enough refugees to return your secretary of state as the lincoln has held his 1st meeting with the russian foreign minister. so guy, lab ross, the me at the meeting in iceland. i said that countries can find ways to work
12:12 pm
together despite that differences as to loverts described to constructive preparations would begin for possible meetings between the 2 countries. list us, our partners are the clashes of broken arc between moroccan security forces and people attempting to reach. you repeat the territory by swimming around board fences. thousands of would be migrants forced their way into the spanish enclave. a theatre in north africa this week. as morocco a paid to have loosened border controls following a diplomatic dispute with spain, security now appears to have been stepped up. desperation. just outside of soda would be mike. when scuffle with moroccan security forces pushing them back. they were blocking the border off the spanish enclave. as they turned to night clashes broke out. police eventually manage to wreaking control and disperse. the crowds of most young men decided to get across the board. as great migrants who reached
12:13 pm
the spanish enclave often said to have no choice but to leave morocco. i'll give him or keep him here to look for a better future than in my country. there we have no rights or anything best, nothing, no work, nothing. what are you going to do? i will not need bother you. when we meet you local spanish residents say the situation is tense. many feel overwhelmed. our currently, there's so many arriving. it's really unusual. we in a kind of state of emergency here, and many residents are really afraid of slip through the article more to me, other people and not personally i feel safe out on the street. i'm not afraid, but i'm a teacher at the moment. many of my pupils, i'm not coming to classes because they're scared. those attempting to swim to say, and now immediately picked up by spanish soldiers, the number of people crossing into. so to reached a peak earlier this week with some 8000 entering in a single day,
12:14 pm
the spain has since deployed the army to patrol the border and send the migraines back. senior. speaking to parliament in madrid, spanish prime minister pitcher sanchez were going to restore order and set them nearly 5000 micro and 6 had been returned from the spanish. but i remind you that the border with soda is not only a border between spain and morocco, but also a european border. and that in this case, the lack of control by the moral authority is, is not only a lack of respect towards being, but also towards the european union. officials in madrid say they are reinforcing so as borders to prevent more rivals. well, they w correspondent, young philips shows says in say what he says, tensions that are likely to continue at the moment to quiet here at the border between morocco and spain. morocco and officials seem to be in control again,
12:15 pm
however, that the small groups of migrants trying to swim across hundreds of people try to force their way past security in the later evening, injuring the nights, the more than 1000 miners having arrived and see which unreason date, post especially saelens, to spanish authorities, local media reports about plan to relocate them to different parts of the country. and philip shots that you need is our meeting today and a fresh attempt to finalize a covered $900.00 vaccine a passport scheme. the so called green certificate could give a much needed boost to the travel season by waiving quantities, restrictions for certain people. but key issues, including access to free tests, delayed the schemes roland. the document would state whether the person had been vaccinated, tested negative, or recently recovered from current. denmark has already produced its own system which has allowed some people to resume their activities. but as d w, terry shows reports, not all danes on board with his plan. social life is back in full
12:16 pm
swing in denmark. so yeah, of course we're very happy to hope that we can see the guess. the ticket to resuming activities inside are enlarged groups. is the corona pass verification that you are fully vaccinated? have in unity jacoby 19 or have tested negative within the last 72 hours. most people use a mobile phone now. that is relatively like, allowed to resume indoor training in early may. gym owner melissa guard hanson has an entry system, worked out. you should be the 1st person that shows up. will chick everybody else's passes and they get the shiny little head on. so everybody knows. so today's natasha was a place for rona officer and your vaccine. yes, i think you're less than 20 percent of dean's are fully vaccinated. so for most
12:17 pm
people keeping a corona pass current require standing in line to be tested every 3 days. maybe half an hour, 40 minutes, and is it worth well worth it. denmark has the highest testing rate in the european union with half a 1000000 danes go test each day about 8 percent of the population. that provides authorities a wealth of information every day and even almost by the hour. we know the number of posits obsessed with people in denmark. we know exactly where, where they tested where too late. they live. nielsen says local municipalities can use the data to quickly intervene in case of an outbreak. but privacy advocates insist the personal information revealed by a corona pass should be strictly limited. the latest version of the app allows almost total anonymity to showing whether or not you're in the clear kimberly gregory and has been working with authorities on this evolution. even when, when,
12:18 pm
when we have such as serious situation in society fighting and they put demick, we shall not, we shouldn't just skip our fundamental fundamental principles about it. they to security and privacy. but some feel constant monitoring should not be necessary to access social activities. they say that's a violation of their personal freedom. and if i don't want to get tested just to get in somewhere, when i, when i'm perfectly well, all the sushi is helping organize opposition to the national corona virus strategy . he views the path as an example of creeping governmental control. why should the state know like every time how often you go to union meeting, how often you go to sport clubs and different patterns of your life? but most days welcome the system as their passport back to liberty. at least one on temperance burial bar has set up its own testing center to make the wait for that precious green light more bearable with
12:19 pm
a beer. let's get more detail because once again, masses in brussels. welcome gail. is brussels looking to follow denmark's example. brussels is definitely looking into an example like this one where people who have recovered from the corona virus who have been vaccinated fully vaccinated against the virus with a new approved vaccine or a w h o approved vaccine. so including the sport vaccine at the, at the current stand of negotiations. and also people who have been tested where things differ is that all these things are free in denmark. denmark is a rich country that can provide all these services for free, and that is where we get into the fine print and that is where the route starts on a new level. so how far along brussels plans? well, if you would believe the commission and the parliament, we already would have that document, it is really member states we're pulling in the breaks here and who have some
12:20 pm
concerns over the suggestions made, but particularly by the european parliament and all 3 member states parliament and the commission have to agree to if this is to become law in europe, this, this house board and if it has some validity. and the problem is that the moment is that the european parliament would like a test that would give you these, this green certificate, a test to be free or at least affordable. and that is what the member states don't want to go down that road. moreover, member state want to be free to say, look, we can add additional measures, for instance, quarantine for someone who has that certificate. and that is where the parliament and the commission say look at, you can have that we, we, we make a compromise apart, at least according to common standards. so for instance, to that common, you map where you have green zones and red zones. so it's transparent for all us citizens. again here, member states don't want to go down that road. what about the privacy concerns that we saw expressed in that report?
12:21 pm
i think the privacy concerns really at this level of talks are not the key issue. you are the leader when it comes to privacy protection to data protection. so technically, the passport is if would be, would be ready to be issued tomorrow. and also member states all agree that what you will provide is only the framework. what you can then do with this passport is up to each individual member states. whether you can go into a gym or go into indoor dining with that passport that is from member states to decide. matters in brussels. thank you. that's a token where i spike in covered $900.00 cases, is fueling demands for the cancellation of this summer's and then picks and paralympics doctors have also joined calls to stop the events. but the head of the international olympic committee is insisting the already delayed games will open in july. the i o. c is thomas bock and the upper left loomed large over the start of
12:22 pm
the tokyo meeting, insisting the games will go on. we are now fully focused on the delivery of the olympic games. it is after all box international olympic committee holding the ultimate se into whether to hold the games. the host city contract says so signed by all interested parties in 2013, when tokyo won the rights to host. in the termination section, it says the i o c has sole discretion to terminate. should safety be threatened? in the midst of a brutal 4th wave of corona virus infections poll after poll show a clear majority in favor of terminating the game silver fears. it could become a super spreader event box. some said should cancel the olympics while in tokyo for this week's meeting. he actually stayed home though in switzerland. look, i'm
12:23 pm
a foreigner, isn't coming means he cannot come and that implicitly recognizes japan's emergency situation. so thinking a video to show all will be well for the japanese people during the olympics and paralympics box points to bench rehearsals in which athletes competed and were housed in a strict bubble. and he added, most teams will now bring additional health professionals. should corona, virus infections occur with our jumping needs, the partners in france, i can only re emphasize these 40 commitment of the i of the, to organize together. they've olympic and narrowing b games for everybody. momentum. so important in many sports events is not on box side at the moment, but it's still the i o c's call whether to cancel the games, which have cost at least $15000000000.00 and are now just over 2 months away. well,
