or stock, so even in the hospitals and clinics were functioning, they wouldn't be able to provide the care and services fully anyway, because they left the store among those pledging to help and know how much control enclave is the united states. the mosque is a terrorist organization, we recognize that. but that doesn't mean we should not be in gaza, rebuilding gaza for all those innocent people who in fact have been hurt and had been collateral damage. it may take months and years to rebuild the damage done in just a matter of days talks to ensure the egypt brokered ceasefire between israel and the palestinians holds are ongoing the key step towards finding a lasting solution to this decades old conflict that's bringing d w middle east correspondent, tiny grandma, she then garza city tanya,

foreign journalist weren't allowed into gaza during the conflict. so tell us what the situation is like now. while you see a lot of people. yeah. out in the streets, they're out and about and picking up or you know, the logs that are left at about 11 days. and now today, 12 days ago, a people lot of people are taking stock or what happened. and they're looking all through, you know, at the damages and the destruction in some of the residential neighborhoods, especially in in garza city. so some of the assessments are still being done, but you said about 50 percent of the water systems have been damaged by the fighting by the bartman also pretends of course, to sewage and the water system in the city. we also seeing people cleaning up their self and businesses and returning home for those who have been displaced and also

some electricity teams are in the city. you can see trying to repair these locally, some of the line, some of the power lines actually down and at 50. it's always been a problem in gaza. so and some of the, in this assessment of what has been damaged. so being done before this conflict gather, had limited access to building materials and basics like water. and you mentioned electricity. those walls limited. how big a task will it be to rebuild you? it will be very complicated and probably a long process. he thought it already after the war in 2014. he said, not forget, garza is under a blockade that was imposed by israel, but also partially at times by egypt ever since i'm up to power in 2007, 2007. now this, okay, this now they're almost for 14 years and that's of course it's a felt here in all sectors in garza now it's hard to controlling what's

going in and out of gaza. so they are also controlling, you know, building the tier is, which is read, described as dual materials that should not fall into the hands of militant groups . and in 2014, the international community had to set up a very special reconstruction mechanism. now the international community also doesn't deal directly with us. and of course, on top of that, you have to imagine that people who have lost their homes or their homes where demons now by this conflict, the economic situation is very difficult. so it's not easy for people to just pick up and repair their homes or the last. okay. tonya, grandma correspondent, in gaza city, thank you for more. we turn now to her, her son, a palestinian human rights lawyer, political analyst and activists. and he's currently

a visiting fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace in washington d. c. welcome to the program, almost 2 weeks of violence, hundreds of lives last mainly palestinians. there's a sci fi now in place. so what happens now? well, for god's families and for the israeli families that have lost loved ones, it's going to be a hard road ahead. but especially in guys where you saw such devastation wrought upon the drip which has seen such destruction over and over again, particularly since 2008, 2009. when we saw such a massive bombardment. and you know, this isn't, you know, this isn't an accident, the level of civilian damage. in fact, it's an israeli military strategy of deterrence that only an infrastructure

and communities are targeted for bombardment. so i think, you know, this is a, it was a very unfortunate mother episode for 2000000 people that have yet to recover from previous years and the damage that was done, then this is why it takes us back to square one. pretty much an easy piece. recon bouts of the sort of back and forth, low intensity violence, but no progress towards the last thing solution does. no, it does that. and that's why i think, you know, in order for there to be serious long term solution for, for the people living and gaza and really for the palestinian people more broadly. because we did see how this started in jerusalem, where the force displacements are threats. the force displacement displacement of palestinian families there that then blew into the occupied territories and in

inside of israel with palestinian citizen, you know, being attacked and vice versa by jewish israeli citizens. so, you know, there's a, there's a larger issue here which is, you know, the, the domination is really domination of the, of the palestinian people living within their control and jurisdiction. and that needs to be dealt with. and you know, really for, for the us to be engaged in, it has to be engaged because of its influence that it has on israel is one of the few countries that has such a relationship. a close relationship with israel, in terms of the provision of, you know, security assistance, $3800000000.00 a year. it has some leverage. so it's, it behooves us to use that leverage and to start and centering in its own foreign policy. right. and the human security of people, both palestinians and israelis. right. before we get to the us in more detail,

what about the 2 sides? these really that the palestinians. what role do they have to play in moving past the the status quo? yeah, i mean they, they have not been able to engage productively for some time now, particularly because of, you know, napkin, yahoo, but not only because of next in yahoo, i mean the palestinian internal politics are in disarray. the palestinian leader doesn't have popular support. there hasn't been elections and 15 years and it doesn't look like they're going to happen anytime soon though. they were promised to take place in may. and on the israeli side we have, you know, and there's really government that has yet to form. we've seen multiple elections within the span of 2 years and it looks like we may be entering into another election. so there's no government for which to engage between the 2 sides. so it really needs external, external involvement and engagement. yeah,

you've mentioned the external players, particularly the us, is the us middle east policy working and what do you think needs to change in particular? you know, over the last 30 years us policy has been laser focused on maintaining negotiation . and so what that meant is the u. s. d prioritized the, the, you know, rights of people on the ground, look the other way or get it pressed israel with respect to settlement expansion. and what goes along with that, which is for the placement of palestinians from their homes and their productive property and leaving them without a means to develop. so there was, there was this idea that israel won't, you won't participate in peace talks unless the us prison keep quiet or doesn't

press israel on its activities that are really violating international humanitarian law and human rights law. so what, what needs to happen now is this, and we swore to this incentive structure that has warped the israeli engagement and has allowed settlers to grow from 1993 number was 240000 just in the west bank to today we're at 700000 settlers that represent 25 percent of the population of the west bank. so we have to reverse this trajectory in which we've incentivized settlement can construction by israel and de facto annexation. and again, as i was saying earlier, the way to do that is to start pressing for international law and right and making that the center piece of the us approach and really not just the us of course, but also the e u, which does play a role in terms of its investment in peace making and bilateral relationship with

israel and the palestinians. ok, we'll have to leave it there for now. the son of the carnegie endowment for international peace, thank you. thank you. let's turn now to some other stories making headlines. at this hour, all plan german chancellor anglo merkel has issued a warning against anti semitic or racist behavior during gas riley's in germany. this weekend. merkle said that anyone who shows hatred towards jews or in fights racial hatred, will be breaking the law. this comes in the wake of the seas, 5 between israel and gaza. 2 days of fighting city, let's not the indians define the people in ukraine have taken to the streets to march in support of the l g. b t. community. it comes after the former soviet republics called low rankings in this year's rainbow, europe index. it shows that reforms had stalled due to a deep divide. over l g

the world around you subscribe to w documentary on you to me what's that has changed is privacy policy. and this is causing a lot of protest worldwide to continue using the messenger app and full users are required to agree to the new terms and conditions. and they go on facebook, increased access to private data, what's up and turn it have apps for less topic on shift the messenger, the easiest way to keep in touch with people that are important to us. the call. the 9th and damage has made this even more apparent in december 2020, for example,

over 100000000000 messages with sent via what's up every day with around 2000000000 active users. what's that is the number one messenger out in 2nd place also from facebook? is the facebook messenger with around 1300000000 users. with 1200000 users chinese messenger reach at is may 3rd. and with 550000000 users, the most popular independent messenger app is kelly gramling. let's get back to the market leader with one in 3 people over the age of 13 using was that it's truly a global setup. it's also a huge source of income for its parent company, facebook, which collects by the data to create profiles these other used, for example, for personalized advertising. it's actually a common business model, but many say what that new terms and conditions go too far. data protection groups up and so what's new, what's left messages are encrypted. when you send a message,

it only gets decrypted on the receiver's device. under the new terms and conditions, end to end encryption will be mean, meaning check content will still be confidential. but when you use, what's that so called meta data is accumulated to companies use this data to extrapolate valuable information on how a person uses their device or find out their network of friends according to what's new privacy policy. this data will now be passed on to his parents company. the e u is the only place where this is for him. it it, on facebook acquired whatsapp. a special regulation was put in place. jennifer king is an expert and information privacy at stanford university in california. she wants that passing on data can have dangerous consequences. they the white twice the different types of information to, to target. you often think about this only in terms of kind of online commerce and

online shopping, but it goes much more broadly. i mean, certainly in this country in the us we saw the controversies around facebook's participation in our elections and election advertising. and we also seen how much the algorithms that facebook uses to recommend content to you, especially facebook group, have led to people becoming more radical in europe, passing on data within a company. and the mapping individual data is prohibited according to the general data protection regulation. but facebook's plan had also provoked criticism in the u. s. and many other countries whose has the response. facebook clarified that it was only going to collect information from chap concerning communication with companies. but this would allow facebook to receive data on the consumer behavior of user experience, the static and then be used to make more money with personalized advertising. and

there is a further motive behind this cooperation with calculated. because the more that a company like facebook can argue that they cannot possibly disentangle. all of these other companies that they've acquired from the core of facebook. the more leverage i believe they feel like they have and trying to fight anti trust concerns that are currently being raised here in the us. what users don't have a choice. they don't accept the new condition. they won't be able to use all the familiar function. since what's that new terms and conditions where now it's at the beginning of this year? more and more people have been looking for alternatives and popular choice is signal. and generally the app even hit number one for a short time in apple app store fact once and found a actually and over 3000000000 euros when facebook bought was empt. today, he's a big fan of signal. he even co founded the nonprofits signal foundation,

which for most open source privacy technologies, and to give the foundation 50000000 euros a startup capitol, an important contribution to its success. ah, the signal is a messenger and that focuses on user privacy. the data is encrypted using the open source signal protocol, which is where the name enables users and encrypted messages, photos, videos, and documents to another user or group chance ah, signal was created by the expert knew by his student in the marlins. it previously worked for different tech security companies and had been twitters chief technology officer in 2013 what he left with her and funded open whisper signals, predecessor, it's fans include some prominent names and text circles, courtesy activist edward snowden and twitch, your friends or jack dorsey appraised the stream of your genuine telephone are you

long treated you signal last year, the european commission also recommends using signal to staff members are producing experts appreciate signal to getting the message or some other apps do, encrypt their transmission. but signal is trying to build a business off of essentially guaranteeing that the communications stream you and other signal users are completely private. they don't hold what we call the keys, the encryption keys to those messages. whether you're concerned about other individuals, hackers or the government signal probably checks all those boxes. signal has declared an offensive on facebook's or pig date. see, for example, with ads like this one, they were supposed to be on the photo platform instagram. the advertising was to be

tailored to the individual user, using data that advertisers can purchase this data, include hobbies, locations, and even opinions on socio political issues. pretty scary stuff. never showed up on instagram. facebook claims that signals campaign never got started. sigma says they were blocked, one thing is certain low. the issue has definitely raise awareness on privacy. telegram has also prevented from the controversy surrounding watts up today more than 550000000 people worldwide use this app. the most popular alternative to what's app isn't signal, but telegrams launched by pablo drugs from russia. telegram registered $115000000.00 new users in the 1st month of this year. switching to telegram is easy. chaps can be imported from what that was just one click. thanks to a browser extension, the app can also be used on your desktop. this works because telegram uses

a cloud service. if you don't want to save messages to the cloud, you need to set up a so called secret chat. messages are then phase to your own device for self destruct timer for messages and files is another feature that protects your privacy . i would encourage you to put some type of expiration date on things. if there's one thing you always need to assume is that when you join online service, that they are going to have the default set to the maximal exposure. the want to keep chaps around. you know, if there's an option to share data, it'll probably be selected also a little bit of homework and try to familiarize yourself with what that platform does. a kilogram and signal run on android as well as the i o. s operating system. telegram it's advent free and doesn't allow it's content to be regulated. sounds good, but it has led to radicals. he and germany, for example,

gathering and huge chat groups and spreading hey polls and said use the messenger service provided by the gaming type of discord is also becoming increasingly popular. first, ahead with gaming fans. it now has around 150000000 users worldwide. that's twice as many as last year. they've taken a closer look at this high flying app. this card was originally designed as a platform for gamers. but now you can also find groups called servers to talk about other things. you can start your own server or join an existing want to meet like minded people. ever since the number of discord users double to reach a 150000000. however, the most popular communities are often already in each williams associate professor teaches courses of gaming and he explains the industries in times of the 19th demik. this is the same. we see across gaming discourse, not only a gaming app,

but gaming is a 2060 percent across. most platforms has, people have flocked to find some kind of social outlet when they otherwise couldn't each other face to face the many different functions and discourse are one reason why people are turning to the app to keep in touch with friends. the chat rooms can easily be personalized. you can create subgroups channels with different privileges for individual users. and you can communicate via video or voice chat more. you can also share your screen on your bill. ah, there were actually some gaming centric platforms that are still around venture low and team speak that are still used by some gaming cultures. this court has some more functionality is user experience or u. x is a little bit nicer and smoother and cleaner. it's also notable that it isn't driven by advertising, and that if you go there,

you don't feel quite so surveilled by commercial interests. i think that's a bit of an appeal. there's a catch the discord, the platform that was developed for gamers. and the messages sent via the san francisco bass provider do not have end to end encryption and to and encryption. very important to me. so discord is currently not an option, even though i'd really like to stop using walter. but then most of my friends are still there. you hundreds, caspar data protection commission and hamburg has issued an order, which only applies in germany, looks indoors trans into german users are currently protected by this order binding facebook and processing their data. right now to see if this order, which is limited to remodel on the be taken up to the european level of the pharmacy in the upper trying to get our colleagues from the european data

protection board, including to join us troops also submit seats international standardized data protection is something i would like to see implemented. i think it's a scandal that facebook can't or won't make their terms and conditions more transparent. i want to have more control of my personal data. and as the global success of alternative apps shows, i'm not the only one. what's your opinion? have you thought about switching to an alternative app? or are you worried that it might be hard to just stay in touch with your friends? and there's no on d, w dot com on our youtube channel. that's all for me today. i'll see you again soon . ah, ah, ah, ah, in the
