[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is d w. news live from building. israel were tele. i'd say after rockets fired from garza, it's a strikes hit militant targets of tensions rise after and is righty right in the occupied west bank. so coming up after successful petitions for tanks,

ukraine asks for fighter jets. keith is looking for support as the next step to repel the russian invasion. germany remembers the victims of the holocaust with a ceremony focusing on those persecuted for their sexual orientation during the knots of europe. ah m. anthony, how walk into the program? tensions of soaring in israel and the palestinian territories. after israel carried out a ride in the occupied west bank, the killed 9 palestinians and spot clashes in several areas. overnight, hamas militants in garza launched rockets toward southern israel and is ready planes struck targets in garza, no dates or injuries were reported from those strikes. but the regions holding its breath for

a resumption and violence problem. the night sky of garza lights up in an irregular israel's military and palestinian militants trading missile and rocket fire long before daybreak. this footage from the israeli defense forces is set to show as strikes on an underground rocket manufacturing site and military base use by the palestinian militant group. thomas o in asked ellen and others railey communities near the buddha. simons rang out to wound residence about incoming rockets. but israel says that i am dome defense system, intercepted most of them they were also new casualties, reported in garza. but israel as strikes stoked a familiar fear or you know, whatever. whenever something happens in the west bank, a war starts hearing, garza ran it. there's no stability, no security, no life in gaza, rivers. hi,

i thought the hovel ah thursday's military raid was israel's deadliest operation in the west bank in years. israel says it sent its special forces into jeanine to detain members of the islamic jihad armed group, who it says were plotting a terror attack in israel. most of the 9 people killed belong to hamas and islamic jihad, both militant grapes, which the european union has label, terrorist organizations behind. but over an elderly woman was also identified as a victim. her name was my g t o beat. father suddenly. so love, who said stratford steady. she sat down to pray for the young men, what it had that could see. and then she opened the window to look over to check what is going on. so if thought is with us at us at her saucer, a bullet is her here in her neck. then it hit the wall, and the tv screen,

her she fell down. was fernando fell. ah, the israeli military says it will look into the circumstances of medina beats death . but as she is being laid to rest, both sides of this long run in conflict. a bracing for a continuation of hostilities. earlier i spoke to freelance journalist semi sako in jerusalem, and asked him if tensions are easing after the flare up of violence between israel and the palestinian territories. i can tell you that at least on the font with the gaza strip, it's been a very quiet day to day. and the kids are around the gaza strip. in these rarely communities, they went to school and it seems like a life has gone back to norma on that front. israelis are saying that the mos inside the gaza strip, they have an interest in maintaining that kind of a piece. because you have some 20000 palestinians who come and work in his room, it guys is suffering from

a high unemployment rate. so they believe that over there it will be quiet. but i can tell you that here in the west bank and in east jerusalem and throughout have been protest, people were demonstrating debate against the king of palestinians yesterday in geneva. there was a, a massive demonstration in our mind today. and there throughout the west bank, we have reports of tens of wounded mainly from neither road rubber, bullets or tear gas in the various produce that broke out throughout the west bank . i mean, the palestinian authority says it has halted security cooperation with his riley authorities at this point. what consequences could that happen? yeah, well this is something that is always expected that there's a popular demand among palestinians to stop this kind of a quarter nation is seen as a humiliation of the palestinian people that they're in fact helping these really

a security occupation forces. and they, so there was this very strong pressure to en this at, we know that the position of a mood, our bass, i will mazda is, in general, he's in favor of this kind of coordination. so at the belief in, in israeli circuits, is that this coordination a will return because both parties are interested in coordination because israel needs of this coordination in order to, to thwart attacks that might, it belong some, the west bank, the palestinians need this coordination because they're dependent on israel, because even the movements of the president a bus are dependent on this kind of coordination. so we have to see where things will go to it's still very much early days for the, the new government. but are we seeing signs of how israel's new hotline government could affect the israeli palestinian relations in the near future? you know, well the event yesterday,

the killing yesterday's interpreted by palestinians as a kind of a like escalation. and which is a kind of a competition within this government who will be more nationalist, who will be more tough to say, against the palestinian organizations. and we know that the minister of public security, which is now called the minister of national security. he's been very vocal and said that the palestinian gunmen should be shot and killed. and any palestinian that threatened is really should be shot and killed. this has been his, his position in the past. and then for sure, this will kind of like bring more, more tensions. we also expected to see more tensions around the lump sum was because is really activists are planning on going. i'm a soco freelance jen lesson integrates. thank you.

it cranium president. phillip miss lensky has renewed his appeal for us. bill f. 16 fighter jets. less than a week after securing heavy tanks from western bacchus, poland says it would support a nato f at the sin jets to ukraine. now, officials from france and the u. s. say they have not ruled out the option, but german chancellor left shalt has drawn a red line under the topic of supplying keith with combat aircraft. that conversation comes as fighting is on intensifying in the east of ukraine after russian forces recently took the town of solider troops now making another push in the city of backward. why, for nearly 6 months now, russia has waged a brutal battle to take the city of bath moot, and so far failed, but at a heavy cost to ukraine. with this makeshift cemetery on the outskirts of the city shows the scale of the loss. but motors look hated between don yet

and the hands get the edge of the front line and the don bass region. a victory there could give russia a base to launch a campaign further west, who would also be a blow to ukrainian morale. zelinski said the fighting there was key to the war, caught him to get his ulta every day. the enemy fails on the back mood front and in . don't boss in general, is a significant blow to the aggressor state. aggressor, u. s. advisors to ukraine. see that it's not worth the cost and ukrainian lives. russia has already shelled the city to rubble, leaving little to defend but assemble. the u. s. is recommending ukraine shift its focus to the south, where western deliveries of armored vehicles could set up kia for a renewed counter offensive. the city of her son was recaptured by ukraine in november. and russia has ramped up pressure this winter across the southern frontline ascii of looks towards spring and expecting a large russian offensive with the possible mobilization of thousands of new

invading troops. nato said weapons deliveries will help ukraine prepare. and russia is planning for new offensive. they're building heavily oped and mobilized. hundreds of thousands of new troops are ramping or production, acquiring ammunition from all to the tenant, shames like it wrong, or north korea and, and the, and therefore we have to be prepared for a new russian offensive. that's exactly why denouncement made last week are so important, emma, when more armor, more ammunitions, more also long range or weapons like the high mars, but also the new announcements of batter. thanks. the u. s. defense department says it's unlikely. russia can turn around its failures. any time soon, but it also says ukraine can not expect to expel russia from the don bass. by the end of this year. for weeks, we have been hearing that the battle of back is at a stalemate. so i asked military expect, frankly,

which if russian troops could soon gain the advantage in that fight. oh, good afternoon, actually, i think yes it could. if what we're hearing from the americans is true, is what stressing the report that back not only because both sides have made it matter. so it's a question of casualties on both sides balancing nose against the moral effective withdrawal. now the important thing here from the american perspective, i think is praying with those on its own terms. i think eventually will have to do that. let's not forget that it's not the 1st time that ukraine has done what and made a propaganda success out of it. last year, as i recall, they did exactly that from severity and ask after an equally bloody and important battle then. so that's why the americans are so insistent really that the credit is cut their losses now withdraw into their own turns before that forced out. fascinating moment coming up in this war, frank, russia plans to mobilize an additional 500000 soldiers, whatever that number is, a large number. as western allies have pledged to spend

a little over 100. thanks. what winds out overwhelming manpower that being russia or superior hardware you crime? the latter is the answer it. it's often said that so quantity has a quality all its own, and that's true in military terms provided on the ground, you can provide some ahmed protection and plans and doctrine for your quantity. and the to the russians would not demonstrate the capability to do that. this is an artillery war, primarily, ukrainians, major on precision artillery. the new armor that they're getting, which by the way does not only is not only the tanks that's on the most prominent they are getting a great deal more of a form of our vehicles on the cars fighting vehicles. and it's, it's those that are going to win out here in an artillery. so battlefield is no good having unprotected infantry wholly lives in an artillery. so that way you're up against precision guided shows. ready ways,

equipment is far superior to your own and answer your question is, ukraine's will went out eventually. it's going to take a long time. it will be very painful, but that's, that's the way i see this balance going. the tanks were a big victory for the ukranian president zalinski now wants fighter jets and miss south too if you're going to get them frank. yes, i think he will eventually the answer to this question of how to defend themselves . does not lie in f sixteens in the short or even medium term anthony. the reason they're looking for these and will probably get them certainly benevolence, if given indications. probably know i have some span, of course, the americans, if they give the export licenses, which i had a lot about over the last couple of weeks, will be able to backfill any issues from european allies. but what the credit is trying to do is trying to shift its armed forces on the ground in india to know so standards. so not looking at really i think for the next 6 months looking at for

the next one year to year 3 is to provide long term security for themselves. and that's wise. but i, 16 and their short medium term won't make a difference on the battlefield. but to answer your question directly, i think that will get that, but it's going to take a while to deploy them and it will be an extremely labor intensive task. far more so i think than with the tanks which will be deployed, foster and are now far more important. was a pleasure military analyst, franklin, which thanks so much for your input. thank you. so german parliament, the bonus tag, has held its annual ceremony of remembrance for the victims of the national socialist regime. an estimated 6000000 jews were murdered by the nazis drink world war 2. other groups were also persecuted by the nazis. this year ceremony focused on the people targeted due to their sexual orientation or gender identity president . we have a bass said that during the nazi regime, tens of thousands of people were in prison on the laws that criminalized a sexuality,

victims and survivors of the holocaust were honored in speech or feeling and musical in a ceremony was also attended by survivors of the nazi regime who shed their experiences, then mention each category in for me or if human beings are categorized as important and less important. then if that in victim grapes a scene is less valuable than others under. and then that means one thing do i did that, the nazi ideology lives on the scene that you nozzle shalise, he said edy, a little key vitally ah aunt, and unfortunately it is so present to day if we are observing cruelties against queer persons to day. no human and li, the news that was part of this story definitely met an activist who spent years fighting for official recognition for queer victims of naughty as occasion. it's

the de looks van dyke has been fighting for in 2018. the historian and teacher petition to the bonus dog for the 1st time, his goal to get the highest political levels to recognize the persecution of queer people. the reason why we never go for up to have whole this recognition on the highest government liver will happen is not only because it has a big meaning, a strong meaning, important meaning um for our minorities. but means also that germany as a country has reached the level of humanity of democracy where different voices are heard in 2022 parliament finally decided to commemorate l g b t q victims of the nazi regime. male homosexuality was banned long before hitler came to power in 1933. but the nazis ramped up persecution. gay men were imprisoned and cent of concentration camps,

where they had to wear the pink triangle. around 10000 gay men were murdered. recent research on other queer people also shows systematic persecution and legislation outlawing homosexuality and germany was only fully dropped in 1994. if i look back in my own life, when i was 14 and the paragraph still existed, and i grew up in a society where i was a criminal boy. if i were to be honest in berlin van dyke meets for a discussion on why remembrance for sexual minorities has been such a struggle. both audience and panelists agree, research for many types of victims, remain scant. for van dyke, the battle is only getting started. i thought to find the chief men troop here, encouragement to go on and to look in those to those countries with too dangerous

ot need life threatening to view sexual minority van. dyke will continue to fight argue and build coalitions because the struggle for remembrance and against persecution goes on it earlier i spoke with how my meds now he's the head of the magnus hash field foundation established by the german government to fight discrimination against l. g. b. t q people. i asked him about his reaction to this historic moment. of course, it was a very moving moment 78 years after the end of the 2nd world war, which was signed by the never again. we had the 1st time in june parliament to commemorate the homosexual and edgy b t i. community as a whole group of victims, often nation noisy, regime with which as a pity,

was prosecuted up to 1994 to already mentioned in the piece you feel even i'm 2nd for go over the past years. we're saying a shop rise in the tax on l g b to keep people by physically, but also on social media and in policies implemented around the world. as you say, are we going backwards in history? what is to happen to break this trend at this point? i think we have a divider towards a looking a to a g p t. i writes, we have some progress if western countries which increasing or progress in a giving awareness to the issue of human rights of age who p t i p people. and on the other hand, we have some powers of the past trying to show up as defend us of traditional. well, your swedish

a very much in contrast to what we call open society and as a fear, as a, to my impression, the enriching aspects of diversity in society. and they cannot imagine that blue realism is a plus to society and her life quality of modern societies. on this historic day, how much medinah executive director of the federal magnus hatfield foundation. thank you so much for your time. thank you for the invitation. stragglers going on . let's take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines this. our pulse in the czech republic have opened for the presidential election. ronald survey 5 of retired nato genera. had a puzzle who's up against building a building, a rather euros skeptic. and robust for the largely ceremonial post campaign has been marked by hostility, dis, information,

a country that used to dominate hockey. now india's lack of recent success is leading to something of a reckoning with the sport. indian hockey is hoping for near dawn. a hope that these youngsters will help the country recapture its former glory field. hockey used to be indian national sports before it was overtaken by cricket. here they want to train up a new generation of hockey, stars, like 14 year old rou polly. me again, bother my game past improved. i looked initially. i didn't even know how to who is the hockey stick, with head from my coach and found a place i keep on learning every day. this place is known as the cradle of hockey, and for good reason, the village of san support has produced 14 olympic hockey players over the years. among them thou be a sin kula, but he was passive india's bronze medal winning team. in 1968,

all globe love to forward above level think compelling. so that should it real, real gone wrong? so don't changing of mindset because the, the, this is the only game in the world. where you can say that everything is in a g to study will surface dot hook up. and so evelyn change in the good old days. india's men, 16 straight olympic goes from 1928 to 1956. but it last was in 1980, and since then interest in hockey has declined. still one former player believes the sport is worth fighting for that munition will while with de domination will bar. and if you walk from the heart, then nobody can stop you from being successful that walk at all to maggie. and that's the message these youngsters are taking on board in a country where

a limpid gold is the benchmark for that success. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories from the world of sport now and in tennis, novick joker, bitches. through to the australian open final, after beating american tommy pole in straight sets, he'll face stephane of city, pass in sundays final as he bids to win a record extending 10th melbourne, title serv. we'll also be looking to equal wrap and a doll's record of $22.00 grand slam titles. that's champions i x have sack day coach offered shorda. that same haven't one in 7th league games that there was running a 122 years of history from a half and i'm coach. and they took over last summer after the departure of eric can hard to manchester united. now this weekend ski mckayla shred shift, lynn as the chance to match the all time record of 86 world cup winds held by the legendary swayed in the mast. in mac, schiffron will be competing on the same check slope. she made her world cup to bu,

at age 15 after a disappointing begging lympics last year. the american is enjoying one of her best seasons ever. mikaela schiffron may be closing in on in gammas denmark's record for the most alpine skiing world cup winds. but with refreshing modesty not often seen among top athletes, she says she might never eclipse the swede when it comes to who is the greatest of all time. everybody knows if they know anything about carrying at all, and even if they don't they knowing a most, being a marsden mark and that's i don't think that's something that i can surpass. i don't know if i ever will. it's he set the standard for what ski racing has become. hon. tuesday ship friend captured her 83rd career when to surpass fellow american,

lindsey vaughn's record for the most women's world cup victories and a day later added her 84th. but even then, the 27 year old didn't want to brag. take the number, 83, and technically yes, that's more than any other woman has achieved in, in the history but. but there will always be a huge fan days that believes that lindsey is the greatest female care of all time . and, and that's, that's, that's their point to argue, we're a lot, it's alike, people say, undisputed, but i think it's disputable, struggling with coming to terms with the unexpected death of her father, 3 years ago has helped schiffron put things in perspective, dental care. if i went into the race, i mean i want to, i want to ski well and i'm, i'm not done. so i of course i want to win another race, but if it doesn't happen like blue, better,

just enjoy what i'm doing now. and hopefully it's some meaningful to me and meaningful to somebody out there, but i don't know, it's just, it's just not the end of the world. and i'm, i guess i realize that more now. and that makes me feel a little bit later. before we go, a reminder of our top needs story. this, our israel's military says it is carried out estrada on militant targets. garza alice after rockets would launch from the palestinian territories. roughly launch followed. a deadly is riding military right in the west bank cities, paternity. thanks to state of the news asia with my colleague melissa cham. it's coming up after a short break. more news for me in half an hour in ah,
