2:04 pm
of the fighting. if any victims are innocent here, it's the children. let's get more dw, corresponding done, irregular i've been telling you, welcome, donna, let's, let's bring us up to date with you following this morning's attacks. right, so, so fighting between hamas and israel has yet again intensified. we are talking about more than $230.00 deaths in the gaza strip. 12 that's here in israel. there are talked about looming, sees fire in the horizon, potentially even in the next few days or even hours. but nevertheless, there is a yet, again, rockets were launched this morning from the gaza strip into the southern parts of israel as well as its center. and previously, israeli military has launch several air strike on gaza strip. this entire thing is happening while we have here visits by foreign ministers from the you were hoping
2:05 pm
to achieve or to bring about that wish to cease fire. so one of those, a foreign ministers, the german foreign minister, high co mass. i believe he's been saying some of the damage caused by god rockets for himself. a correct so indeed he hi coleman was visiting a house in the central city of about 20 minutes drive from tel aviv. that was a house that was directly hit by a rocket, him and the foreign minister of israel, god, the us cannot be, were touring this house before he continued his visit. later to go to i'm out i and also convene with palestinian officials, my saw the damage himself and he also reassured israel previously in the press
2:06 pm
conference that he gave at the airport that basically israel has the right to defend itself. and what israel was looking for is support or some kind of solidarity from the, from germany. it definitely received it from high co masses words to d. w correspondent, done in reg, i've in tennessee. thank you. well let's hear from some of that press conference that tyco master gave in israel just after he arrived. he explained why he was if he had come come here to day to assure you of our solitary team. we have emphasized again and again in recent days and will continue to do so in the future that israel has the right to defend itself against the massive, unacceptable attacks and cliff it's aside and as long as now stakes and groups in this region, israel with destruction it must, of course,
2:07 pm
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 let their chief, it's not limited to words. it's only that, it, it as have fish in water and more mission, give mercy ana, who's a policy analyst and scholar who specializes in israel and the middle east of the german institute for international and security affairs. welcome to the w. what sort of influence can germany orienting the you bring to bear on this conflict? well, i think that as to level theory, thinking on the immediate level that we can speak about high command serving as a sort of representative representative of the you, but offer mediation and offer immediate good services in order to to, to advance the sci fi that we are talking about and this gear and things, but i think on the broader aspect, we are talking about 2 major items. this high command is bringing him in his own
2:08 pm
baggage. one is about the development of guns or you know, in every one of those runs of escalations. we have experienced in the last decade the discussion over the large scale developmental guards and the quality of life of government was presented but faded away with a new cycle if you weeks afterwards. so the commitment is one of the major, kevin sees that they think i could actually bring the 2nd one when the much broader and more complex level view of going back. we saw think in israeli palestinian political process, of course with the care and a political care with the needs. we're going to be quite complicated. and how can germany be seen as an honest broker between these 2 sides, when it is solidly backing israel and arming israel? well, i think we need to separate between a high command wall here and on the bilateral level. as you mention, there are very strong connections on the interpersonal even level between us
2:09 pm
canarvy and high commands between the 2 counterparts. but i think that germany play the always trying to play an important role, especially when it comes to specific red line. wiley is supportive, always ready position during this crisis in sound b for the from previous german government. it was also, it played an important role in defining specific grid lines. any trying to keep the same solution framework theoretically as a valid framework. if you remember the discussion last year about israeli invasion invasion and next part of the with bank and see areas, they actually played an important role. and i think that when it comes to providing carrots on that level, the role of a month is important. we already some statements by high call month above, and you role of the quote that regaining the role of the quote that meaning when
2:10 pm
you buy the migration the u. china and russia on that level. i'm aware that you've also researched israel responds to, to covey 19, so i wonder, is people shelter from that? the shells and rocket fire on both sides. these railways are largely vaccinated while the palestinians on what is likely to be the fall out when the fighting stops . well, i think we can speak about 2 major issues. i mean, regarding his race, we can actually identify specific public fatigue. you might say, i mean after a year where if parents could not send the kids to school isn't kita finally celebrating, coming back to life is defined by pray, mr. nathan, you know, and now going back to the same restrictions. please solve the bill of ease. but the real story here is really on the policy level, we see a very interesting correlation between the habits of conflict in this conflict between the point of combat of explosion and the level of damage from coughing. is
2:11 pm
your glen major? have a conflict in this case was the place where economy a damage because of covered was very high and a lot of income from tourism for quality and use of my guys are the same issue. a recent wave of infections the last couple of months and occupancy over over 19 percent. so, you know, when we look at it from the broader level, this is one of those cases. we can you already identify a connection or some kind of a systemic influence on of covered on the likelihood of conflict for that matter. so the interesting and very clear. thank you so much for joining us, gil mercy on it. thank you very much. well, take a look at some other story making headlines at base our us secretary of state antony blinking has houses 1st meeting with russian foreign minister. so gay lab speaking in iceland, they said that countries could find ways to work together despite their differences that love to describe the talks as constructive and said preparations for possible
2:12 pm
meeting between the 2 countries. leaders would navigate from the u. s. has waived sanctions against the german firm, overseen construction rushes notes dream to pipeline, but says it will sanction russian ships and companies taking part no stream to will bring rush and gas direct me to germany. and the u. s. physics will that make europe to dependent on russian energy. germany called the move constructed, protest have taken place in denmark against the re, patrick smith, syrian refugees authorities recently revoked the residency. permit of more than 2 hundreds syrians, most of whom lived in denmark for years. earlier this year, the danish government declared parts to be safe enough for refugees to return. the e. lead is a meeting today in a fresh attempt to finalize a cove in 1900 vaccine passports game. the so called green certificate could give of much needed to the travel season. waving quarantine requirements for certain
2:13 pm
people. but key issues, including access to free tasks, delayed the schemes, roll out the document which state whether assessment has been vaccinated, tested negative, or recently recovered from occurring the virus infection. denmark has already introduced its own system that has allowed some people to resume their activities. but as d w, terry shows reports at all. danes are on board with the plan. social life is back in full 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 path verification that you are fully vaccinated? have an 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 and early may. gym owner liquid guard,
2:14 pm
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 placement corona officer and your vaccine. yes, i think less than 20 percent of dean's are fully vaccinated. so for most people keeping a corona pass, current requires 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 getting checked 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 positive tested people in denmark. we know exactly where where are they tested,
2:15 pm
where do late they live. nielson 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 path 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, when we have such as serious situation in society fighting in the demick, we shall not, we shouldn't just skip our fundamental fundamental principles about data 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
2:16 pm
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 teams welcome the system as their passport back to liberty. at least one entre printer, real bar has set up its own testing center to make the wait for that precious green light more bearable with a beer. let's get more detail because 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 vaccines including the sputnik 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
2:17 pm
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 your parliament, we already would have that document. it is really member states. we're pulling in the breaks here and who have some concerns over the suggestions made, 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, if this passport and if it has some validity, and the problem is at the moment, is that the european parliament would like a tests that would give you these, this green certificate attempts to be free or at least affordable. and that is what the member states don't want to go down that road more over member states 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
2:18 pm
and the commission say look at, you can have that we, we, we make a compromise, a bought 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? i think the privacy concerns really at this level of talks are not the key issue. you as a leader when it comes to privacy protection to data protection. so technically, the passport is, is, 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 an individual member states, whether you can go into a gym or go into indoor dining with that passport that is for
2:19 pm
a member states to decide matters in brussels. thank you. and let's look at some more developments and the pandemic. the u. k. has launched a nationwide study to explore whether a 3rd vaccination dose would be safe and effective in extending immunity. a chain of private laboratories in india says, maybe 2 thirds of people, testers in the country have been exposed to current virus. and the un security council is demanding faster access to vaccines for africa, amid concerns that the continent has received, only 2 percent of the dose is administered around the world. there are soldiers. german soldiers suspected of plotting attacks against prominent politicians while posing as a syrian refugee goes on trial today, known as franco. a. he's accused of stock piling, weapons, and timing serious acts of violence. the high profile case has raised concerns of a right wing extremism in the military. never had the trial opening, franco,
2:20 pm
a proclaimed his innocence in front of the press. he denies the charges leveled against him by the prosecution to unclog. we have an indictment that deals with an offense of preparing an active violence that endangers the state. i taught for years franco, a lead a double life while working as a soldier for the german armed forces. he registered himself as a syrian refugee. prosecutors accused him of planning attacks on high ranking politicians with the intention of blaming them on migrants and asylum seekers. my, my dance had fish my client dressed as an immigrant. i can't see anything in that that's dangerous to the speak up to what i do see as a danger to the status when parts of the government and work together with the criminal. and that has unfortunately happened here. some of them slides up, i'm on,
2:21 pm
does legacy and franko a faces up to 10 years in prison. the trial is expected to left until august dw politics correspondent, i'm a sparrow is following that trial. welcome thomas. how significant is this case? phil, it is certainly very significant here in germany franco, 8th cases, both unique, especially if you look at his personal circumstances, but also a very clear example of a wider problem here in germany. it's unique if you think, for example, that we're talking here of a man who managed to have this double life as an active soldier, but all was a registered asylum seeker on the why. the problem that i'm referring to is not only the shortcomings in germany's immigration system, including all those administrative failures that lead to, for frankly, a being accepted as an asylum seeker here in this country. but also,
2:22 pm
and this is particularly relevant here in the current german context. the threats of far right extremism within germany's forces. so we're talking certainly here feel of a very significant case, a case which is also very high profile, and which has gotten us international attention both because of these unique elements related to franko a, but also because of the wider problems for german society in german politics. and just on those, those why the problems, various reports have already established that there's been this growth in far right . sympathies and violence in germany. but all sources must be particularly alarmed to find it in the services. while in fact, authorities have said that it's a disgrace if they find a proven case of fire right extremism within the 4th. and there was a report presented in 2020, which revealed around $1400.00 potential cases of far right extremism within german security forces. and the german interior minister back there now they said describe
2:23 pm
it as a disgrace every proven case. but at the same time, the interior minister stressed that this was not a structural problem within germany's armed forces. and this is important to stress because germany's officials not only now but also in recent years, have face face constant criticism for from those who believe that they have been turning a blind eye on the issue. and the threat of far right extreme is i'm in general here in germany, but also in particular when it comes to japanese armed forces, so that there is certainly a lot of controversy feel when it comes to these issues here in the country. there's also a loss of $44.00 o t 's to do when it comes to this case, not only the specific elements of franco a case, but also all of these issues that we've been discussing when it comes to foreign extremism in germany. also, far as extremism in the german forces and just one element to finish, it is important to stress that germinal part is belief that far right is the biggest threat to german security. now the fact if that's a d,
2:24 pm
w honestly thomas found days will be de, mocking the birth of be keeping pioneer unto the john shah levine at nearly 300 years ago. but as little cause for celebration the you and his warning that almost a 3rd to be and but of i species faith extinction because of human activity. but some be lovers are trying to save colonies under threat rescuing malaysia's bes bear handed. that's how this software developer spends his bad time. he says gloves make it hard to be gentle when scooping up the bees. the swarm in a car park 100 palm and building in quite an employee in danger. i think because what do i learn more afraid of be and not not so i mean not so familiar with b. so the perception is be read dangerous. so the moment if they see me immediately
2:25 pm
try to find some way to, to remove, to be seen. traditionally, visa found people tend to cool a fire brigade. the solution has been to burn the nests and get rid of them. that's not the any risk facing the bees re lang chaise group might be savior with set up against the backdrop of the insects global decline. there's a huge crisis in us and europe where they are having problem. we've be going almost i think. so before that happened here, i think is important that we continue to the face of the b and make sure that doesn't happen here. many honey, be colonies in the west who wiped out in the mid to thousands worker bees, abandoned that queens in a mysterious phenomenon called colony collapse disorder. pesticides are thought to
2:26 pm
be a driver of this. and this ties in with my scientist recently looked to help ease were impacted by intensive agriculture. in tropical countries, they found the number of insect pollinators were 70 percent lower and intensive copeland compared to the natural habitat. but that's a fate. these rescued bees will hopefully avoid they found a new home in the garden of a volunteer. and the railing child have a few more things to add to his extensive collection. why is his date of the news life from berlin? his reminder of our top story at this hour germans foreign minister has joined diplomatic efforts to cease fire between israel and how much militant bombings have continued from both sides. but more israeli and strikes and rockets 5 from causes into his rent of an issue of today. world news at the top of the

2:28 pm
news the into the conflict with him, sebastian and violent conversation between israel and the palestinians has gone into the 2nd week, i guess from jerusalem is michael freeman, policy advisor to israel's foreign minister. country now listen to the key criticisms being leveled by the bible ministration and go back to seeking a 2 state solution. conflict w.
2:29 pm
ah, news tips for your bucket list, the magic corner trip hotspots for food and some great help more to w travel. we go ah, the it's been ongoing quest for the spring began in 2011 people stood up against corrupt, rulers and dictatorship. all these moments have left the box and my memory the me they had
2:30 pm
hoped for more security, more freedom and more dignity. me have their hopes 10 years after the arab spring. and rebellion starts june 7th on d w. the. when a fire in itself is not an aid, your government has no intention of allowing yourself in palestinian state to be created. does it the person is refusing again to come to go stations with a violent compensation between israel and the palestinians has gone into its 2nd week with construction mounting around the world at the high number of civilians that especially in gaza, i guess this week and jerusalem is michael freeman, policy advisors, israel's foreign minister, really country now listen to the key criticisms being leveled by the biden administration, and go back to seeking a 2 state solution. the
2:31 pm
michael freeman. welcome to convict zone. thank you for having me. last sunday, israeli forces killed at least 42 people in gaza, including at least 10 children that was in one day. your prime minister is on record as saying how much and islamic jihad paid and will pay a very heavy price for their belligerents, their blood is forfeit. well, by now the death toll is well over a 100, and the 61 children are reported dead is not enough blood that's been forfeited. this is not about, you know, that the death of innocence for us is a tragedy. and this is about come us who've been firing rockets that is right and making and making sure the come off. can't do that again. you know the 3700 rockets fired from within garza into israeli towns and cities and villages. and so the
2:32 pm
civilian population and we are doing what we need to do to defend our civilians. any country would do in order to do that, i understand, but what's an acceptable level of casualties for you among the palestinian population for this punishment operation of yours? well, there's no acceptable level of casualties. we don't want any casualties. every civilian casualty, every loss of life innocence is a tragedy before i'm israeli, before someone's palestinian. we're all human beings and the death of an innocent human being is an absolute tragedy. and we need to do everything we can to try and avoid those civilian casualties and do everything we can. and that's what we're doing. and that's what we will continue to do when we, when we're, when we're carrying out this operation to reduce come off capability. this is about and trying to make sure that come off don't have the ability and don't have the rockets to carry on attacking us. if you want to reduce civilian casualties, why not accept the si, fi that's been offered and those whose father,
2:33 pm
the countries around the world are calling for. when a thing fire in itself is not a name, the a must be just all the time. but, but every time, every time we've had to cease by the cease fire is only ever lasted 2448 hours a week or 2 weeks, or it's ended up being wrapped as the ceasing and how much do the firing. we need to make sure that we, whatever happens now, we have a sustainable period of calm so that this is not something that happens again in a few months time, but rather come off understand that attacking israel is not worth their while and they will then we will have a long period without any conflict that's in the interest of both these right event, palestinian, the death of so many palestinian children, raises questions about whether your response has been proportionate. a key factor in determining whether you acted legitimately did you. because in the face of it does nothing proportionate about killing and injuring 20 times the number of people killed by your enemies. when they,
2:34 pm
the issue about proportionality is the fortunate, the number of rockets that are being fight us when the threat the way receiving. ultimately there's a fundamental difference between the democratic state of israel and the radical terrorism is terrorist of come up. whereas we, humans are the same, millions we're talking about human beings. worried about human being, whether they were palestinians or really absolutely absolutely. the death of human beings on each side is tragic. you know, i'm a father of 2 young children. and when i look at my children, i think about their future and what i want for the future. but i also think about palestinian children about their future and about what is important for them. i want to see them grow up with hopes i want to see them grow up with the future. i want to see them grow up with the, with, with, with better ideas and opportunities there. but it was a freeman my, my, my point. but in order to do that, we need to, we need to make sure that there is come out of there. come us are the ones who are feeling the future of palestinian children fremont. you made that. but my point is
2:35 pm
that you can argue justification and self defense, but it's harder to argue that the scale of damage and bloodshed that you inflict is proportionate, isn't it? that's how much, much harder to argue. what we are doing everything we can as i said to avoid civilian casualties where you see the difference between us is this, that we use our weapons to defend down civilians and how much uses their civilians to defend their weapons. your hospital is a primary care centers you're hitting hospitals and primary health when, when, when we're not when, when, when well, when, when we are making sure that what we target weapon supplies and we are targeting where come also putting their command and control centers. they're deliberately putting their weapon places into into next to schools in next to hospital was into civilian areas. that's what come soon if we're going to try and stop, come us from having these weapons and to give the palestinians a better future, we need to destroy these weapons stores. and there's going to, doesn't really,
2:36 pm
you know, civility, even if they put the military installations close to hospitals, it doesn't relieve you of the responsibility of sparing those hospitals and medical centers. in the complex situation. you have that responsibility. you don't seem to be following that. what as far as i'm aware, we haven't had any hospitals and in gods, there are 2 things that we do. firstly, we check the number of civilians that they are. and if we see there are a number of millions in the area we call off any air strike or any or anything we're going to do because we want to avoid civilians and we give warnings to all those in the area. if we're going to destroy a building and we're going to do a command and control center from phoning people from giving warning shots in advance, we do everything we possibly can with, with those kinds of things. and as you well know, tim, when western countries face and fight against the terror organization embedded in civilian populations,
2:37 pm
israel is doing very well writ written relatively in terms of avoiding civilian casualties compared to other western countries have had faced the same situation. mr. freeman, let's take your destruction of the gaza building, which has the associated press and al jazeera. you claim that hamas also operated from there, but the n g o reporters without borders says it has reason to believe your military, intentionally targeted media organizations and intentionally destroyed their equipment. is that true? are completely reject. that's a proposed with suggestion. israel is known for a free and open press. you've been here number of times yourselves, you know, the press, they have complete freedom. we have a democratic system, we have debate, we have numbers of newspapers and televisions, and everybody is free to go about. we have absolutely nothing against the press quite the opposite. we encourage the press to operate aaron, to shine a light on things. if anything it's come us to do not want the press and do not
2:38 pm
want people looking at what they're doing. house reporters without boat is a challenge that it said by the 17th of may. your forces had destroyed the offices of 23 international and local media organizations. that doesn't sound much like an accident. does it more of a pattern? is it? well, we the building that you refer to we targeted because come out, come off, had a command and control into that. they were planning terrorist activities against the communities outside the inside is ran outside of the god a border. they were planning specific tara operations from within that building and noticed event, our citizens, we decided to stop them being able to attack us. we gave everybody plenty of warning and plenty of time before we destroyed that. i'm not disputing that you gave a warning, but us secretary of state blink and said he has not been given additional intelligence material about the attack on this building. but he has pointedly declined to support your declared motivation for the strike. my question is,
2:39 pm
will you assist an independent investigation which is calling for when, when we have provided, as you said, we provide intelligence information to our allies in america, which clearly show the status of that building being used by the terror organization. and we hope that we will be able to, in the near future declassify more of that information. so the world can see exactly how come up with cynically manipulating the media, manipulating the civilian infrastructure in order to put themselves in that building supreme. and let's just look at some of the background to this latest violence that we're weeks of clashes in east jerusalem before the fighting began in the gaza strip. and in some of the cities, why was no serious attempts to de escalate the growing tensions? well actually we made a number of attempts to deescalate the they're putting out, putting a barrier stop palestinians gathering in the evening at the damascus gate that was
2:40 pm
pretty inflammatory while we were. and after a couple of days we removed the barriers, but we did. we took another a number of other steps as well. we banned jews from going to the temple mount the holiest sites in judaism. we banned them from going up there, including during the jerusalem day the jerusalem dry day parade, but we hold every year. we change the roots of that, the court case that was going on in the supreme court. we delayed it for, for a month, the number of in century balloon attacks that were being fired over from gaza. 55 to vos, waves of agricultural, of agricultural land in the border inside israel. we didn't respond in any way to that. we did everything we possibly could to de escalate, but come on, you didn't do everything, did you? because you had police firing rubber bullets inside the mosque, the the 3rd holiest shrine in islam. and in the middle of the month of ramadan, now that wasn't calculated to come tension. was it one attempt from ever since
2:41 pm
