7:00 am
have their hopes filled me 10 years after the arab spring. rebellion starts june 7th on d. w. the ah was ah, this is the w. 9 from israel and come on, approve a cease fire on nearly 11 days of strike and raucous battle palestinians in garza celebrate on the street at the deal goes into 4th. the 2 sides hoped to cease fire broken by egypt or bring an end to the fighting. they seem in years and
7:01 am
us president joe biden, welcome to fire just humanitarian aid for the people of gaza. also coming up a green light for vaccine pos posed. you says yes to find those details of its digital cobra. 900 travel certificates in a bit to open up for tourism this summer. ah hello, i'm reading the moment there is quiet in the skies of a garza offers. the fire between israel and tomas militants came into effect on the friday. the deal and some of the regions, worst violence in years. international negotiators worked around the clock to hammer out the deal. the crowds on the streets of the city,
7:02 am
people came out and numbers to celebrate relieved that the violence of the past few days was finally over. the cheers and whistles began to am local time as the sci fi officially took effect, and the skies remained come. israel's foreign ministry announced the truce after the country security cabinet unanimously accepted the deal. but there were 10 times shortly before it started. rockets were still being fired from garza and israel's military carried out at least one strikes of the streets of televi. if there was a mixed response. i think it's good the fire as good for humanitarian reasons to civilians that relax a little bit on both sides. i'm skeptical though that it will really be kept for a while. i think this is fire one class and 8
7:03 am
hours. and they will start shooting got rockets again, both hamas and israel, claiming victory and the conflicts, but both sides suffered in the violence. garz's homage controlled health ministry says at least $232.00 people, including more than $100.00 women and children were killed in the fighting. and at least 12 people, including children, but killed in israel after rockets managed to evade the countries and don't defense system. us president joe biden said the sci fi was a genuine opportunity for peace. he said washington would now help replenish israel defense capabilities and help the palestinian authority with humanitarian aid and reconstruction and gaza. these hospital, these have resulted in tragic tests of so many civilians, including children. and i sent my sincere condolences to all the families, israeli, and palestinian last loved ones. my hope for
7:04 am
a full recovery from the moon. but the scars of this conflict will take a long time to heal and what was destroyed in just a few days will most likely take years to rebuild. the earlier i spent 2 day job use tonya kramer in jerusalem. i asked her about the likelihood the sci fi that the sci fi a will hold, and what it would work would happen if it doesn't work out. well, if it doesn't, i think we could see another round of violence like the scene many times before. it's not always long around l. so many assured rounds of hostilities in the past years and gaza has already seen 3 wars a know almost the 4th one. so, but you know that is an international push to solidify now this cease fire and maybe the upcoming agreement,
7:05 am
depending on the conditions that will be maybe set. there is also extensive damage, especially in gaza. that was, it has to be assessed now in garza and of course a loss of flies. so i think that is an interest right now that this will last, at least for the time being and just take us back to how this all started. and i think it's important for an international audience to be reminded as well about the human costs on both sides of this conflict. well, the human costa, on the palestinian side of figures from the ministry of house a thing that at least 230 people, died among them. according to the ministry, 65 children, that's in garza. and on the very side we had 12 people who were killed in these hostilities. and of course you have extensive damage, especially in gaza when you look at the struction. but of course,
7:06 am
we also have seen lots of tensions leading up to this 10 days, almost 11 days of hostilities. so there is a hope here that this cease fire at least will lead to some quiet. but of course it needs to address. and i think this is also the concern of many people in gaza wondering what is next? what does it mean for this situation as well? will it change anything with the condition on the ground when it comes to example to the issue of the blockade that has been imposed and guarded for over almost 14 years? so there are a lot of questions still being asked tonight and details. of course, coming out on, on the see saw itself. right. tiny kramer speaking to us from jerusalem. thank you tanya. and as we heard earlier years president joe biden praise the scenes fire as quote, a genuine opportunity for progress toward peace. i asked stephen cook from the council on foreign relations in washington, d. c. how much by that has contributed to the sci fi a deal?
7:07 am
well, i think it is clear that the united states was involved in a variety of important ways. and i think you should take it, take the value that the president was, and his administration was engaged in talks with israelis and through 3rd parties with us. the problem is and the reason why it took as long as it did 11 days, keep in mind that the 2014 conflict went on for 50 days. the reason why it went on as long as 11 days is because the parties, israel, and were intent on trading these blows. there's very little that the president can do to force to cease fire if the 2 antagonists are intent on fighting. but i think the president and the administration did an admirable job here, despite the fact that the heretic image is coming out of god's in particular. now
7:08 am
someone say that nathan, yahoo and hamas state is both have political reasons to do what they did. so what did a 2 sided stand to gain from the cease fire? well, i think that the 2 said certainly gained from the increasing tension in those rounds of violence for him as it was their big for leadership of the housing authority. everybody knows that the prime minister netanyahu is holding on for dear political life and he could present himself as somebody who can secure israel. i think that is the motivation for the fire on master's part is that it really did take a beating militarily. the israelis, you know, were able to inflict a considerable amount of damage on how asked without, without having to absorb too much given the efficacy of di and don't, don't system, i think for the israel is, is more political problem. where they had utterly destroyed their relationship with
7:09 am
the international community offices to be 0. and i think that they were quite stung and somewhat surprised by the level of criticism that they got from the democratic party, including members of congress who had long been staunch supporters of israel. one of the key issues to be focused on to resolving this crisis, would it look like security or issues around the issue of jerusalem? what's likely to happen now? well i think that's the big forgotten issue in the last 11 days. was that tourism was obviously the flashpoint for this violence and this issue is going to rear its head once again. given the fact that the israeli supreme court is going to rule on this question of evictions or expulsions. however, you want to formulated of families from the shake, your neighborhood east jerusalem. israel believes that through its annexation of jerusalem, it's law applies. there are very few other governments recognize that annexation
7:10 am
and ducks don't believe that these relatives can under israeli law, evict the use, use families. it's a problem. and it's something that could put the current cease fire in jeopardy. right. steven cook from the council on foreign relations. thank you so much for your not your analysis. thank you. now to some of the latest developments around the current a virus pandemic person says it'll work with the world health organization to develop a pandemic re dos system. the goal is to identify new corona virus variance quickly and track emerging diseases around the world. argentina's government is imposing another strict lockdown after a number of new infections, and dest in recent days. and frances most famous landmark, the eiffel tower in paris, is said to reopen in mid july, but only $10000.00 visitors a day will be allowed. now was summer,
7:11 am
just around the corner. there's good news for those eager to travel within europe. your leaders have agreed on a new coven, 1900 vaccine passport scheme. the digital certificates aims to give a booth to tourism by waving quarantine requirements for some people. the document will state whether a person is docs, native tested negative or recently recovered from the current of virus. spain will be among the 1st countries to test the system. the government recently lift restrictions, which is good news for many businesses. a taste of normality can be felt all over madrid. the cities vibrant nights have recently been approaching what they were before. the pandemic bars and restaurants are busy and then those and then the boy, we're happy happy that we can return a bit to nightline sort of the moment consumer. we've noticed more activity,
7:12 am
pm and midnight, because that's when it gets look at is when people switch from top to gene tonic ceo and ok. yes, engine, donnie, go by. it reflects the now taking out the on it. she gets handled and that's a much needed boost for owners, as they were never compensated for the effects. also condemning since they lifted the state of alarm bars and restaurants have steady extend that the house curfews have largely been canceled and non essential travel between the regions is allowed . again, the lifting of these restrictions was met with wild celebrations in the streets of spain. that outraged many spaniards infection rates across spain are dropping, but he and madrid this still higher than elsewhere. and hospitals, especially feeling this pinch intensive cast off, say that their, that occupied after more than that breaking point, some or even quitting that job at the cove at ward. this why people we speak to are
7:13 am
cautious. they want to enjoy their new freedoms, but also do so responsibly. one of it for this garcia hasn't seen his family in 9 months because of spain. travel benz is planning along over to visit yada. now that they're opening up, you really want to see each other, but we're also scared as part of it. okay. especially because my father died last june from cove it we, we saw each other was a funeral, but that was only to deal with things around my father's death. we haven't had any everyday life and my mother hasn't seen her grant. my daughter and we haven't been able to reflect on what hasn't happened, they need a momentum efficient. that's what, okay. although his mother is already vaccinated, what this garcia will still take every precaution to make sure his visit home will be safe laterally. others like it, it is what it is, the virus there may be restrictions i eat on it. but it's very true that the eating of measures takes a weight of your shoulders. freedom,
7:14 am
a certain degree. bar owners like see him on i thought oh, optimistic that such freedoms are here to stay here. i don't know if your business is in our sector that live from one day to the other. cannot afford to close that out. but i am confident that by the end of the some of the situation will have improved was the right, whether it's social and nice life or everything else to myself. so enough, you know, knowledge body see them until then they will try and enjoy this fragile life, hoping that 1000000 small people will get the vaccine. and that corona virus variance can be kept at bay. now and enormous iceberg has broken from an ice shelf in and talk to the iceberg is the biggest in the world. european space agency says it's larger than the spanish island of my, your scientists believe the spit was called naturally, rather than a result of global warming. you're watching dw reminder of our top
7:15 am
story. allison is in gaza celebrating a fire they hope will bring an end to some of the regions was violence in the deal between israel and moss was broken by egypt and cut are many, 250 people has been killed in the context of next is orleans of the white w natural oasis and we had a moment thanks for watching the news . imagine how many portions of loans occur now in the world? climate change, the very cost the stores. this is much less the waste from just one week. how much left can really get we still have time to act. i'm doing all
7:16 am
this i it's hold to one of the biggest contemporary nature conservation efforts. fear body us. a desert island tact with wildlife who's animals from multiple continents roam freely on the island. here funny was part of abu dhabi in the united arab emirates, or you use the reserve with established my shape and i created a kind of noah's ark for one of the rarest species of the time. the radiant or ex,
7:17 am
this either white antelope became abu dhabi, natural always the the be, have seen development breakneck speed down against the modern backdrop of diabetes symbolizes the rapid growth from fishing settlement to booming metropolis. the, the u. a. e is a record breaker when it comes to the consumption of energy, resources, and water. the so even in my own lifetime, it got difficult to keep up with the changes i can point as something unique and beautiful and enormous and tell you that this was desert 5 years ago. so i
7:18 am
can't even imagine what it's like for my father or his father before him to see where we were and what we become me. it all began in the oasis of the largest uninterrupted san desert in the world. i brought the air a better when federation of the bunny, us to the glass palaces of abu dhabi into by me the name sir bonnie us, the island, the bunny, us, harks back to the political union from which the ruling families of abu dhabi and dubai came this the 1st recorded mentioned lee was away since dates for the 17th century. it's located in the part of a rope i collie that border saudi arabia and now belongs to the you
7:19 am
a ah, the in the desert water is the most precious commodity only in places where there is enough water and settlements develop and people survive. but locating it isn't easy. the luckily people in the region has some outside help. i been on it, which is a white one that animals find the water in the, in the boss, people that follow the tracks of or x on the was the find the water source. maybe that could be a reason why they choose. i been all acts as a national. i mean, most of you a think it's no coincidence, but the name of the father of the gazelle during a hunting trip in the 18th century, a gazelle at the lee was always this better,
7:20 am
went to a fresh water springs there. they established a fishing village, according to legend, it was the dawn of a new era, the in the mid 1900 century. the coastal settlement experienced its 1st boom through the pearl fisher, who's that exists somewhere between tradition and modernity. the visible contradictions are proof of the rapid changes. the emerett has gone through the w long and grown. its geographic area. skyscrapers and other magnificent buildings require a lot of space which is reclaimed from the sea. the shake siad grandma of the city center around the hud towers and the concert on what time presidential palace
7:21 am
statements in the global contests for influence and prestige use even the locals gaze. on with astonishment, the main island on which w located has more than doubled in size over the past 50 years. thanks to land reclamation concepts. for a long time. the races for the future knew no bounds until climate change begins to demand. otherwise. there are many ways to express luxury, but here one thing takes center stage water. the deserts, most precious commodity, had become a symbol of excess. the news, one of the many achievements is free access to water,
7:22 am
which according to the current, every muslim entitled to the me ah, but climate change is making the desert ever harsher. so it makes sense to limit private water uses favorite irrigation. the chef was fine to be off. he was having the vision in his mind, which he started from a line which is getting off the list. and then he moved it here in 1971, which means he started planting trees on the islands and preparing
7:23 am
a nice environment for the. the many species of animals from different regions of the world have found a home here. the one particular species from the radiant peninsula, the wildlife refuge, was a matter of life and death. at the time when sir bananas was stablish, the origin or x was one of the very dangerous pieces. we only have few left in the country and in the region. so ships died basically decided to allocate this island, which is huge island for protection of this species, the time among others, almost 40 years later, from the establishment of this island today. the radiant or ex is no longer and
7:24 am
dangerous species for the radiant horace. here to bonnie became a safe haven paving the way for an amazing come back. the desert is considered to be olive garden from which he removed everything that was superfluous. for wild animals were by no means a part of the fatal by me. as i left this 87 scott, a kilometer and half of our land is a major result. filming in 5 mon times, draft back to us on the plantation between the island reserves also provides protection for land antelopes,
7:25 am
barbary sheet from north africa, and black pluck, antelopes during mating season. the news, unlike elsewhere, the animals here don't face poaching or other harmful human influences that's reflected in their relax demeanor. we do have different species and island mostly from africa, middle east asia, more likely coming to most of the animals are donated to the shakes because he used
7:26 am
to say if he's one species at the beginning of country 3, like why don't we ask him to take our species it's no secret that strikes hyenas and cheaters are severely threatened. but it's less well known that giraffes are also endangered. in some countries, even gazelles have died out. the biggest challenge is climate, high temperature and humidity. apart from these naturally challenges, we have the challenges of providing like 4 different species which are not from this region, providing them with the logical requirements that they need to survive held on by the abilities of wild animals to learn and adapt can be studied here.
7:27 am
not only the urban horse that wait for their daily feeding soda, the predators once in a day are going to drop a foot in the feeding station. i mean, most, they do know the time where they get their foot, so they do more on put their much mornings quite active from the feeding stations. and what we don't want to make a big pond than most gets away on the water. them they need water all the time canvas to be one i knew must do more on all the island to look for the water from the grass special area. the african cheetos have been known to incorporate safari vehicles and even airplanes into their hunting strategies. so knowing daily feeding times is child play ah
7:28 am
ah, i choose not every hunt and success in all around the world. most of the kind of vision plans on the introduction field because the animals were directly taken from an institution that is extensively taking care of the animals and then immediate losing them to devise. so they don't survive this because they don't have the skills to survive in the way. sir, the funny yes is the result of extensive landscape planning based on scientific research. the same can be said for urban planning and
7:29 am
abu dhabi did indeed i have had the heavy the architecture reflects the idea of harmoniously combining the past, present and future following the notion of the arabic word for community. how did it did indeed, and i got the animal depicted on the east end reflects that 2000 are the big part of m r t heritage and tradition. and that can be seen on our crest and having a falcon hospital just shows you how serious we are about protecting this heritage
7:30 am
that goes hand in hand with the nature that this heritage is tied to as well. ah, the head doctor at this unique animal clinic is a german veteran area. he was awarded the highest civilian distinction by the crown prince himself. it tells us with over $11500.00 falcons per year, we're the largest falcon hospital in the world. dawkins have a different significance here in europe. falconry was the sport of kings in the middle ages. it was for the aristocracy for 5050, say here, falconry has a completely different background. just 4050 or 60 years ago. the most moratti's were bedouins living in the desert. i've had what they used falcons to hunt for meat for their families. i guess they couldn't have survived without falcons. that the birds were never just a piece of sporting equipment. they were integrated into the family. if i had all
7:31 am
kinds had the status of a family member, and that's still the case today. we're not just carrying for birds here. we're caring for the children of the bedouins, because that's how falcons are still seen today. this is fine and good toys. ah, the you eat with the 1st arab state to make private ownership and trade and wild animals punishable by law. in the move was all the more significant because big cats in particular, were considered status symbols. ah, genuine efforts to stop the legal wildlife trade as well as an international commitment the species conservation are showing clear signs of success. smith are x which was declared as ex, thinking was in 2000. and we have more than
7:32 am
a 1000 individuals heard of smith and audits on the island. we see that our success is very good for captive breeding and forbidding a population for future introductions. ah, the environment agency, they took up a project of introducing them in while in chad by contributing a brooding, heard the project is basically when very successful. and they have been able to revert the status from lexington while it again dangerous. so it's a big success story. the re population and chat shows that fear that money off is much more than a safari park where p costs walk side by side with cheaters. ah, the symmetry or not to be confused with the irradiance was once wide spread throughout the sahara. it was later eradicated from his last breath,
7:33 am
huge enchant. ah, there still seems to be little concerned among people that up to a 1000000 species are on the brink of extinction. ah, ah, the news they include the east african for that either or one of the for species the oracle and the funny us here on the island. we have multiple species and we have species that can breed and we don't want hybrid. so we have separated them in different storms and then we have some enclosures that have different sexes because we need
7:34 am
to control the population to maintain quality other than going for the quantity the, who's bonnie, yas, is now home to some 16000 wild animals. the reserves management cooperates closely with international conservation organizations and that's one of the reasons why the successes and setbacks experience here provide valuable information for wildlife parks around the world. that also applies to the elaborate system of hoses used for irrigation. the news, the news we aim to have
7:35 am
a genetic leeway population that is not the victim of gene deficiency. and we saw assessing this strategy through bloodline exchange. and then we are doing somebody welding projects where we start modifying the behavior of animals. ah, the white antelopes don't actually need any fencing to protect them from the cheaters. the purpose of the fence is that the separate an older pair of brothers from their own offspring. otherwise there'd be fights over territory and prey. ah, me.
7:36 am
the or ex have no reason to fear the cheaters, nor does the ranger what company their daily hunt for food. ah, it's his job to observe whether they catch prey and get enough to eat the the older they get, the more difficult hunting becomes the news . peacock than cheetos once share the same habitat until cheetos became victims of human activity in asia. not only were they hunted accessibly for their beautiful coats, they were also captured and trained to hunt the pair of brothers and the funny, yas came from a zoo. they had no experience with either peacock or giraffe. ah
7:37 am
. after some training from humans, they learned to hunt. they've now been self sufficient for nearly a decade. our 3 to decide the person that can really make the control the number of the month, but it can make a difference. the chief does, can keep on the most in natural fear. mm. use cheated and probably strike us as well or extinct on the radio peninsula. the giraffes, the either or ex face
7:38 am
a similar fate and some of their native african habitat. the we take any move from captive bred institutions. we bring them on the island and then we raise them once they are adapted to the climate on the island, we start reviling we start stepping back and we provide more of a natural habitat to them so that they can learn how to sort of live in the wise whereas the cost of multiplying its been difficult to find suitable females so that she can reproduce with, even though there's room for improvement, the successful reintroduction of animals into the wild is the kind of high profile success. that means a lot of the, the with
7:39 am
sufficient capital, it can be easier to create artificial habitat than to preserve natural ones. the oil boom catapulted the emirates to be one of the world's most dynamic economies. in just 5 decades, black gold created ostentatious well and steadily increasing c o. 2 emissions the news. despite all the similarities, there are also differences between the 7 emirates that make up the u. a charger, for example, in to differentiate itself from dubai. the skyscrapers dominate the cityscape here too. but instead of chasing records,
7:40 am
the focus here is on preserving cultural identity. this can be seen in the costly renovation of entire districts. for that charger was named cultural capital of the arab world by unesco. heritage sites have been restored and can once again be admired. like these historic wind towers, the alcohol is prohibited here. the focus is on his lama, cultural heritage, individual tourism that's helped to become more resilient against global crises, like the cove in 1900 pandemic. and that reduces resource consumption ah, the advent of tourism, i see it funny. yas came just a few years ago before that it was exclusively
7:41 am
a nature reserve. it doesn't rely on income from to rhythm. so a drop and visitor isn't an existential threat. like with other wildlife part ah meaning what telling the way the nature and the ones we have to visit the historical background because it gets out of shape like through a little be united the school verse afterwards to. ready hold oh and the desert island is located 8 kilometers off the mainland of the emory of abu dhabi. it's 180 kilometers from the capital aah! due to the low number of visitors, the animals are hardly disturbed. so it's possible to observe them close up without
7:42 am
startling. ah, the, the rapier or excess com behavior is a clear indication of the lack of threat in places where they're hunted, wild animals demonstrate a fear of humans by fleeing immediately. ah, despite being an island theatre, bonnie: yas is part of the desert tourism industry, which often uses motifs from the $1000.00 to $1.00 night spoke to the news. eco tourism is still a relatively new concept in the us until now the focus has been on the kinds of services that often contribute to global climate change, but guidelines for green hotels and a system for a warning environmental prices in the tourism sector in the change that
7:43 am
there are hopes that sustainability will become more than just a buzzword and will be properly assess the the we try to work with the different stakeholders, including hotels, for example, to have certain programs in place to reduce their water wastage their recycling capabilities. we even have a specific licensing process for how environmentally sound practices are on the ground. the candle right gives a glimpse into the world at the veterans. traditionally, their lives were determined by water and the desert.
7:44 am
the absence of one and the harmony presence of the other. the news, the infinite desert and finite water supplies were like 2 sides of a coin. that together created high risk. that's still the case today. the desert, underground water reserves may only last another half century. the in 1960 abu dhabi 1st dissemination plant went into operation. processing capacity was 50 cubic meters of water per day. now a new plant is under construction with a capacity of $18000.00 times greater processing enough water to fill $360.00 olympic sized swimming pools. it's set to be the world's biggest,
7:45 am
the, it's a sign of how much economic development and population growth the nation has seen. over the same time period, the population of the emory of abu dhabi has grown from 25000 to over 3000000. about half of the inhabitants live in the capital city at the same name. the one of the most lovely experiences that you can have here is escaped from the hustle and bustle of city life and from work life. and when you come here, you can really switch off of work and is in so many different places in asia and africa and europe in middle east now. and you feel like you go into this beautiful sanctuary. and you have experiences that she will not have a.
