12:02 pm
the worsening violence of the region and happened as is rarely and palestinian officials met in jordan to de escalate the attention holes for com did not last long in the we spank. just al is after to israeli. brothers was shot deed in the car. scores of israeli settlers began rioting near the town of hoarder, apparently in response to the killings which is riley officials described as a palestinian terror attack. the rioters began bending palestinian homes, cars, and businesses the lives of dirt about what's happening is the burning of an entire village for you. this is what they do. up dozens of shops and houses were broken and burned. these will save houses and they were destroyed by about 4 to 500 settlers, with people from the army for their protection. palestinian officials say one man was shot dead by israeli fire,
12:03 pm
and for more wood badly injured. nearly 100 others were treated for t. a gas, inhalation. o palestinian president mahmoud abbas condemned what he called terrorist acts carried out by settlers under the protection of the occupation forces. israel's prime minister has called for com. oh, i ask even when the blood is boiling not to take the law into one's hands. i ask what these really defense forces and the security forces be allowed to carry out their work. about 2900000 palestinians live in the west bank and around 475000 jewish settlers, many of whom hold hard line views. since the start of this year, the israeli palestinian conflict has claimed the lives of 63 palestinians, and 11 israeli civilians talks to stop the intensifying violence took place in jordan over the weekend while both sides made promises for peace. the meeting
12:04 pm
failed to calm tensions which are now higher than they've been in years. and i spoke earlier with d. w, corresponded rebecca readers in jerusalem. this is really some of the worst settler violence, sir, that we've seen here in many years. some saying since the end of the 2nd intifada on 2 decades ago, as we heard in that report in an apparent revenge attack for the killing of 2 israeli settlers yesterday in the west bank near this town of horror, there was a cold put out on social media for settlers to get out and avenge that killing. that call was responded to when we saw settlers then going into this town tomorrow . it is a bit of a flash point in the northern west bank and often the scene of settler violence, or we saw them going in there, torching palestinian homes, businesses at one home had a family in at the idea of had to these really defense forces had to evacuate that family out of the burning house,
12:05 pm
we've seen dozens of cars burned and one palestinian was also shot and killed during that attack. and the seas were so shocking. in fact that one is ready. security official who wouldn't be name, told local media. here he called the events of last night a pogrom, and that's the word that's being echoed here on local media. this is really gives you the indication of the scale and severity of this attack. and this comes on the backdrop of what is already being one of the most violent years in recent decades. we've seen some 60 palestinians this year alone, killed her, and also 13 israelis, 7 of which were killed in that synagogue shooting towards the end of last last month. so we're seeing the tensions really ratcheting up here, very serious fears that things could well spiral out of control. what do both sides have to say? there's been more reaction. yeah, of course have been the usual international condemnation of the u. s. the u. k. and the light palestinians have come out both in the west bank and in garza,
12:06 pm
both the palestinian authority and hamas coming out condemning these actions as you might expect. although we haven't seen anything more concrete coming from the palestinians so far from us. haven't there been criticizing the palestinian authority for taking part in that summit yesterday that was mentioned in that report in aqaba to try and ease tensions. but last night we have benjamin netanyahu calling on the settlers are calling for people not to take matters into their own hands, to allow it to be taken care of by the security forces. and we haven't heard that much so far from the more right factions of the coalition. i'm speaking particularly of security minister it to my been via a bit slow, smarter at the finance minister. both settlers themselves, both calling in the past for annexation of the west bank. nothing official coming from them, but other members of their party definitely coming out in support of the actions last night. quite alarming. quite surprising. a prominent member of that coalition, the chairman of the national security committee, actually come out has come out and support, in fact, saying that it has more of
12:07 pm
a deterrence effect than we've seen in the west bank in the last 2 decades. so these kind of this kind of ratcheting up of tensions, certainly a concern here. everyone wondering where this is headed. rebecca raiders in jerusalem, thank you. russian president vladimir putin has claimed that ukraine's allies are planning to dismantle russia. a claim that western countries have dismissed. in an interview on state television aired on sunday, mister putin said that russia had no choice but to take into account nato's nuclear capabilities. he went on to accuse nato members of taking part in russia's conflict indirectly by supplying ukraine with arms with. now, as we've reported, germany has been heavily criticized in the last year for it's cautious approach to supporting ukraine keys. and other western nations complained that there was too little too late coming from germany. as her next report details. caution remains
12:08 pm
key for chancellor olaf sholtes, but he has loosened germany's approach to war time support to ukraine. 5000 helmets. that was the help germany offered ukraine before russia invaded. then moscow attacked. within days, germany reversed its longstanding band on sending weapons to conflict zones with a historic speech. with him who buffer with the attack on ukraine, we have entered a new era in keith, keith or desa. and maria poll, your people are not just defending their homeland. they are fighting for freedom in their democracy to for values that we share with them.
12:09 pm
that still cotton is democrats, is europeans. we stand by their side on the right side of history. i think assisted shots is government provided billions in financial and humanitarian aid voted in favor of sanctions against moscow and took in more than half a 1000000 ukrainian refugees over the course of the year. and it started approving deliveries of defensive weapons, anti tank rockets, air defense systems, and armored vehicles, for example, for many ukrainians. however, that was not enough. in the early days of the war, some ukrainian officials felt germany's political establishment was too close to moscow. over the past decade shy, meyer established a spider web of contact with russia. many people who were involved in that now have a c and the german government. that's a reference to german president frank valdosta in maya. he had offered to visit
12:10 pm
ukraine in april last year, but keith declined. relations between berlin and kia were in the deep freeze. then long after other western leaders, chancellor shots made it to heave and german weapon deliveries started to pick up and make a difference on the battle ground. meanwhile, germany had to win itself off russian, coal, oil, and gas, and make sure there would still be enough energy for the winter ahead. soaring energy bills put the public swell to support ukraine to the test. others feared their country could be dragged into the war itself. germany has recently pledged to send the main battle tanks. keith has long been asking for one year on from russia's invasion. berlin is now one of ukraine's biggest backers.
12:11 pm
and i want to talk about the german government support for ukraine now with andre of the last. she is a professor of communication in politics and civil society at the hearty school here in berlin. welcome to the program, and thank you so much for joining us. as we've been hearing there after the invasion of ukraine, chancellor shalt held the site and window or a turning point for german security policy. what do you make of what has happened since then? well, it really was a very speak big speech that happened exactly one year ago, because it's mark's a complete turnaround of our security at policies and a strong support also financially for the ukraine. but you already eluded at that in your commentary. that's m shows and the government have been very slow. one has to be, keep in mind that especially in shawls, is party within the s b, d,
12:12 pm
they ra adam. quite a number of, of politicians with formally close ties to moscow to, to put in on to some of them came out saying that they completely misperceived the situation. you all have just alluded to are a president from brighthurst. i admire. who recently did give a couple of interviews saying that we were wrong. and i think overall germany is doing a very good job in supporting the ukraine. but i wish that chancellor shaws would communicate this stronger. i mean, he really has to talk his walk now. so tell us then, i mean, i think you've alluded to it there, but schultz has very much been criticized for being too hesitant in his support of ukraine. is that a fair criticism, or is it just his style of communication in your view? i would say that to the logics, and it is,
12:13 pm
and it is his way of communicating the to the german brought a public and to the logic on to the international world. why it germany is supporting the ukraine and why it is so absolutely necessary and important to continue doing that. germany has been supporting ukraine with billions of euros. um and this is both in military and humanitarian aid. walk us through. i mean, since we have had this so called turning point now in german security policy, how strong is the german public support for the efforts this support is still very, very strong. it's so with over 50 percent of the german population actually support a the government on the expenditures on the support for the ukraine. civil society rainy does not in helping the ukrainian refugees. i mean, if you, you know, in march, april may, and all through the summer at the thousands of ukrainian refugees coming at to,
12:14 pm
to the berlin at trade station. it was really wonderful to see german civil society also being so active. so the, the support is that em, but the big question is, how long will the support it? and it will be of for sure be stronger and longer if we have a government that also talks to the population. andrea romanella, a professor of communication in politics in civil society. thank you. short, thanks for having me. amount to some other news, at least $61.00 migrants had died after their overcrowded wooden boat smashed into rocks off of eastern italy. we're than 80 people were rescued. are swam offs on shore, near the city of katana and official said that the boat set out several days ago from western turkey. the one refugee agency says that those on board were mainly from afghanistan, somalia and pakistan. treasured possessions,

12:22 pm
attend to start over here at home, bearing the weight of their grief. and with me here in the studio as d w as pure beirut bureau chief, muhammad treaty, he has covered the earthquakes in turkey and syria, as well as the syrian civil war. how common is the story that we just saw? well, the flow of people crossing from the city of crossing from turkey to syria is quite noticeable. now, though it is new regulations allowing them to go back to visit their families. but frankly, unlike other meet a lot of the families that we talk to on the borders are not willing to stay in city or they just want to visit. and or, i mean, look at the families and, and just visit the area and, and go back to turkey. the they said lifestyle in northern city. life whole life in syria isn't good enough for them with the lack of food,
12:23 pm
with lack of residents, with lack of medicine and clean water. so they will go back to see the are also on another level. the flow of aides are going to into syria is quite increasingly noticeable as well, but it's still not enough to cover di da need a huge need in that devastated area. so it's also, i mean, to bring in more aid is quite a complex. do you and said that the border crossings from turkey to northern cedar are not enough to deliver the aid that is needed to cover their needs. but, but, but i tell you something it's, that's the area is still an act of conflict on a people are still holding grudges. so some people we spoke to would, they'd rather die rather than receiving aid from the origin side or from a side?
12:24 pm
well, i'm so you know, the people who are then in syria, how are they coping right now? because, you know, you have the description of the situation right now as being a tragedy on top of the tragedy. so, you know, 1st dealing with the civil war and now this, this massively destructive earthquake. how are people coping? what may be the do not? i mean, it, strategy over the tragedy is such a precise description for people who have been experiencing a multiple displacement. i think what is, unfortunately keeping the people are more than a cd of busy is to search for a tent on a daily basis to go shelter hunting, thousands of the living in their cars and on the sidewalks. the just searching for it for tense, which seems to be quite impossible in the north dakota situation goes even more complex. now the people are being asked to evacuate schools. some schools
12:25 pm

12:26 pm
more countries like people don't know who to blame. they don't know how to express their anger. and this is really slow in the process of healing if ever possible. maturity are beirut piero chief, joining us now to describe the situation that i'm syrians are, are now facing. we appreciate it. thank you. thank you for having this is the daily news from berlin, and here's a reminder at the top story that we are following for you. hello cindy and officials say that a man has died after israeli settlers set fire to dozens of cars and homes in the west bank. the attacks followed the killing of 2 is rarely settlers by a palestinian gunmen on sunday. and the next on dw news, it is global, 3000 with a report on how microbes can revive unhealthy farmland. so do stay with us if you can for that, there's always more on the website,
