1st, enjoy our services. oh, be our guest at frankfurt airport city managed by fraud. ah, ah ah ah, this is dw news live from building a fragile cease fire takes effect between israel and palestinian militants in garza, israeli attacks of kill dozens of people in the territory with many buildings reduced to rubble. it was a flurry of rocket 5 between the 2 sides in the run up to the truth. also coming up

columbia gets its 1st lift just leader gustavo petro promises to in decades of conflict. he also faces the least of social and economic challenges and the race to save and not think while stuck in a river in france, experts or encouraging the mammal to swim back to see ah, i'm jared raid. welcome to the shar, ceasefire. bro, could buy egypt has gone into effects following 3 days of deadly violence between israel and the palestinian islamic jihad militant group authorities in gaza. say at least 43 people, including children, killed in his riley as dr. since friday. hundreds more have been injured. to me and militant love to bar roger brokerage towards israel and the response. it was the biggest escalation and violence the region has seen more than

a year. steven cook is a middle east analyst at the council on foreign relations in washington. earlier i asked him how optimistic he was that the deal would hold. well, let's get through the night 1st and then we can think more about the next couple of days. these are always, these fires are always quite fragile. the palestinian islamic jihad, there is a variety of use within the palestinian islamic jihad and whether they continue to fight against news, railey. but so for i think that you really have won this route. so there's every interest or is from the hard to maintain the bar. ok, so thinking of winning this round, israel says most of the military leadership of the islamic jihad group has been quote, neutralized in this operation. what do you make of this statement? well they really have tory have succeeded in targeting very high value

islam of the hide leaders starting with the arrest last week. but some of 80 who is the west bank leader of the summit, jihad and killing the chief of operations in both in northern and southern gaza strip. that's very, very successful for them. from their perspective, it's worth whatever international condemnation, then they come as a result of the collateral damage in killing of civilians in the process. so i don't have a real reason to lie about that. they had every reason to publicize the fact that they've taken out at least the, the read people. ok, now garza is rolling hamas group has so fast. died out of this latest fighting. what is this tell you about in a palestinian relations? well this is the probably the most interesting aspect of this round the violence because it's always a competition between islamic jihad and him. us over who can proved themselves to

be more nationalists than the other. and the expectation was that he would join in not so much that have solid garrity with islamic jihad, but to ensure that it did not lose any kind of political support in relation to islamic jihad. but it seems that huh, got the message from the israelis after the 11 day war in may 2021 and really don't have the capacity to take on the israelis at this time. so they basically, beside their words of support were funky, had leadership that has now been killed by israeli. they had set this one out. okay, now if the fire has gone into effect, you said, let's wait out the night to see how it holds. how likely do you think that this could perhaps re escalate into, into some kind of wider conflict? it's certainly has the capability of doing that. keep in mind that palestinian islamic jihad is supported by iran,

as is his belie in lebanon. it has happened before that violence in the west bank has led not with me. my apologies, in regards to strip, has led to violence along israel's northern boarded war in the summer of 2006 is precisely that scenario. and you can look at this military operation on the part of the shows as part of its broader shadow war against iran and its proxy is around the region. so there is that possibility that this could broadening some case, but as of now let's keep our fingers crossed, that it doesn't do that. and that is why me, she has gotten the message that escalation is not really an option for them. ok, that was steven cook with the council on foreign relations in washington. steven, thank you for your very clear analysis. a 2nd, a convoy carrying ukrainian grain has left ports on the black sea. the 4 ships carrying nearly 170000 tons, a complex multinational agreement allows grain to travel to countries where it's

desperately needed. but the 1st vessel to leave ukraine has not yet reached its destination in lebanon. tripoli, port. people are eager to see the rezone, but the ship carrying grain from ukraine is nowhere to be seen. it is not certain whether it will reach the lebanese port at all. an unwelcome surprise for the ukrainian ambassador, who travelled here specially politically, it was ready, clear decision. first russell coming from odessa to tripoli to lebanon. but there are other components or m like business to business relations, and maybe take some time to finalize the situation. there was only unexpectedly changed course while at sea, and is now anchored near turkey. it's loaded with 26000 tons of mace. tripoli has

been waiting for months, but mostly for wheat imports. lebanon relies heavily on wheat from abroad. last week bakeries and bay route and tripoli ran short a flower and hundreds queued for hours for a piece of flat bread. ah, this is humiliating for the people. all of it for a piece of bread. i keep, yeah, of course we're afraid to per worry about not getting any bread. even if the rezone makes it a tripoli, lebanon will still need wheat. as for the maze on the ukrainian ship, it is still not clear whether it has a new destination. let's take a look now. some of the other story is making headlines today. the u. s. senate has passed a sweeping climate tax and health plan democrat to prove president joe biden, $430000000000.00 vending bill, which now goes to the house of representatives. republicans to criticize the cost

of the plan, which is america's biggest climate investment. nearly a 1000 people were stranded after flooding in death valley in the united states. one of the hottest and dryers places in the world floods are not unusual in the area, but these are some of the largest nearly 20 years. police in brazil's capital have arrested a german diplomat on suspicion, suspicion of killing his husband, the suspect, told authorities that his partner a belgian national fill and hit his head after becoming ill. but investigators say the victim was severely beaten. columbia has just sworn in its 1st left as president, marking a shift from many years of conflict. the moderation of gustavo petro former gorilla fighter is being held as a historic day for columbia. the new president aims to revitalize peace talks with rebel groups which have been fighting the government for 6 decades. pietro is also

promising to fight inequality and bring in environmental reforms. and d. w corresponded johan ramirez, was that the inauguration ceremony in bogota earlier, he told me why many colombians see this as a historic turning point. it is a measure of change an event. the ceremony that just took place behind us in this man, a square offer book order. this ceremony was the food of the symbolism to show that change. for example, that president didn't walk over the traditional red carpet, something that every president before him had done before. he started c, shunt team invited all that, did that population general citizens to take to the streets to be part of the ceremony this event that was usually just for quality of the political elite that 2 days since the beginning of the day was sold, the almost thousands of people taking to the streets to be part of this ceremony,

but beyond the symbolism, this is a major change. this is the 1st time that a left is to president, take power in columbia. and this is also the 1st time that a former korea fighter takes power in columbia. that's remembered that this country went under a harder bo sebring war, which lasted more than 15 years, which took the life of more than 260000 people on that. so mom and back in the 8 this gustavo pedro, 2 days president, was part of one of those records fighting a war against the state. so for many people, the fact that now he becomes president means that columbia had learned how to deal with their problems in peace and through democratic democratic means. it's clearly an occasion that means a lot to a lot of people. now it gustavo petra is inheriting a long list of problems, some of which you hinted at day. he's promised to tackle them. what's his top priority?

at the top priority of he said gender, master b, car been poverty, an inequality, as he is the 1st precedent. first, the left is president and the in the history they, there are huge expectations that he can tackle those. he's charged social problems and he work on those issues very weakly. actually, it is suspected that tomorrow his 1st day in obviously some ministration was sent to you. dr. reform bill in congress and other to reject quality to the concert. he needs to present a short term solutions to the population in those 2 issues. poverty on have wanting . okay. johan, just quickly, if you could, by petro side will be the country's 1st ever afro colombian woman vice president. could you tell us a bit more about her france jamarkis? she's the 1st vice president, blah for american vice president. she is a single mother, she's a victim of the war she had to learn to live with her home town because of the war

. so in many ways, she represents a many, many things that belong columbian women's lives every single day. and that's why she has been so popular here among the population. okay, that was a correspondent, johan ramirez, reporting from bogota. thank you. johan will rescuing the, trying to save a while. excuse me, which normally leaves in the arctic ocean bits. now swimming in a river in north, in france, fit marian se the while lacks the energy to return to c and doing their best to help the mammal recover and gain strength. an unusual visitor has been lurking in the waters of the river sent for several days. now. this beluga whale is a long way from home. and french authorities are concerned for the creature as well being that have stepped up rescue efforts and given the whale of vitamin cocktail.
