israel's prime minister, convened a security meeting to discuss how to respond. marcella the canoes on regarding the aggression against us on other fronts. then we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price of any act of aggression. when we go, our enemies will discover again that at moments of truth, the citizens of israel stud united and unified and back the actions of israeli army of the other security services to defend our country. and our people as a criminal, israeli military said, most of the rockets were intercepted by its iron dome, anti missile system. this property in northern israel, however, was not spared. israel has pointed the finger at palestinian militants for the attacks, which i'm at the time of rising tensions after israeli police rated the al acts and mosque in jerusalem. earlier this week is lambs, 3rd, holiest site. authority said they were forced to enter the complex to

remove people. they describe as rioters palestinians, and their supporters accused israel of using excessive force against worshippers. an emergency session of the un security council on thursday night urged diplomats on all sides to show restraint. ah, members were clearly united in the need for de escalation and common region. this is a whole month for all 3 religions. escalation is not in anybody's interest in the region, and i think you will see that the counselor sees of his matter in the coming period as well as capital. but the holy month has so far brought no signs of de escalation . israel's overnight airstrikes were followed by a salvo of rockets from the gods austrian. he w. corresponded rebecca rivers is in the old city of jerusalem. rebecca, how tense is the situation this good friday?

considering the thousands of christian pilgrims expected muslims celebrating ramadan and jews mocking password. oh, well then where i'm standing right now just outside the old city at the damascus gate. you might say there's an uneasy calm hanging over the, the area of the city at the moment you can see mid day pricing finish. people are pouring out of the old city behind me. things here are com at the moment, but the tensions are very high at the moment. not only because of, as you mentioned, the convergence of those 3 holy festivals happening this weekend, but also in light of the events of this week. namely, as you heard in that report the stool make by the idea of the old by the israeli police rather on tuesday and wednesday of the mosque. and the video is circulating of people inside them all being beaten by police officers that has sparked anger amongst them how to say community. and we've st. now confrontations on the northern

border with lebanon and in the south from garza and returned fire from the idea of contented incredibly high. at the moment though, here in jerusalem, things do appear to be relatively combo inside. at the moment. outside the mosque, the alex m off there is a protest, a palestinian protest, her protesting the events of tuesday and wednesday, the storming of the mouth and a little bit earlier where there was a shooting attack in the west bank. and that, that 3 people were shot, 3 women to have now being confirmed to have died in that attack and had mass issued a statement in regards to that attack. they didn't claim responsibility about. they said that they praised the attack and they warned israel against continued aggression against palestinians. and the alex, i'm also attention, incredibly high people watching and waiting to say what might happen this weekend? we're just looking at like pictures of the attacks on rebecca, what can you tell us about israel strike? so and targeted mcgasey strip. yes. well overnight or

question? been sure. so what are you hearing about the regions in israel hit by brokers from lebanon and gaza? yes. well, yesterday afternoon, a local time rocket fire was hit into, i'm sorry, work up. i came from southern lebanon into northern israel, closing some damage. and there were 2 reports of lightly winded people. otherwise, you know, of a damage reported a no casualties in the south. as i mentioned, one house was reported to be damaged from fire coming from the gaza strip. but apart from that, no other damage that we know of at this stage. okay, thank you very much. for bringing yourself today, rebecca, it is for us there in jerusalem and for the situation in lebanon, dw barrett, bureau chief mohammed tre tech gave us this update a short while ago. life is looking quite normal than anybody's a border towns, earth. but a situation is cautious,

current matter is raised miller to we said it had struck 3 mass infrastructure targets in that southam leopard. on that resident sir, around the russia, d palestinians, refugee camp near the assault and city of tier reported 3 loud thus around for a m a local time. this comes in rita lee retaliation. therefore, scores of rockets launched from sound and saw them numbered on israel gleamed on their d, islamist, her famous for this. now the question been is, how will the the been? he's a heavily armed brooke has belie at react or to this. there is anticipation of the moment. there are many questions about the nature or the scale that location and geography. and at whether any possible response from a has belie will be within the known rules of engagement with, or israel. the iranian box, or group that repeatedly expressed that readiness for any upcoming battle with

israel or tut of political reactions have there been in lebanon in response? well on and then might be the most difficult front, or for israel, from a perspective from a military air perspective. however, the, the political situation, the banana, is very fragile. the country has been that facing our presidential vacuum there for 6 months now. and the ability of the caretaker government at 2 a take important and a crucial decisions is very limited. there are major political divisions in and abandons as independent as well as the m a. some of the opposition leaders have accused iran's affiliate including has bella and allied, palestinian are functions of a dragging the been on the possibly into a ward. where is right now, lebanon's government, it's, it can take, a government has expressed its condemnation for the rockets launching and renewed. it's a commitment to you and a solution,

or number 17 or one which stopped the war that with this ryan in 2006, and nobody's army set in a statement is working a closely with you and peacekeepers in south lebanon are for d escalation. bob, thank you very much for your update. and they've root bureau chief there hundreds of thousands of people have joined another round of protests and strengths of france over the government pension plants. protesters want the raising of the minimum retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00, to be scrapped by french president, a mammal mccoy. absent on a trip, the china is determined to stand his ground even with mach wrong thousands of kilometers away. paris is still burning. this time it was one of the french prisons favorite restaurants in flames, as protest as again faced up with police over his pension reform.

ah. elsewhere in the french capital, striking railway workers took aim at another target and briefly stormed the building housing the offices of u. s investment giant black rock. the companies and major player in the private pension market loads not been involved in the government's plans. but despite the tails and the clashes demonstrators seemed determined to carry on. many on the streets of paris were angry about not just the deeply unpopular reform itself, but also about the government's heavy handed approach. no, no, no dialogue. the never has been any. the government on a particular the head of state. they were made on that positions by declaring that it's absolutely essential to carry out this reform, even though there are many other means which could be explored, which is not done at all. and so there's no discussion that's obvious or shall

jonah today we have the impression that we are faced with a deaf and dumb government that is not very good at communication. we get the impression that emmanuel mackintosh, absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country, up with the with the government and the unions refusing to budge and talks going nowhere. both sides are now waiting for france, his constitutional counsel, to way in next week. turning to ukraine, a u. k. intelligence reports, his russian forces have made significant gains in the eastern city of back. what the british believe russian forces have taken the city center along with the western bank of the bar with a river that would put ukrainian supply lines under threat. ukraine has denied the report, but admits the situation is difficult. a what has been for over 4 months and has seen some of the fiercest fighting in the war. ukrainian military spokesperson told, brought his news agency that moscow was focusing all its efforts on taking the city

. look now at some other stories making use from around the world, russian foreign ministers. okay. laughter off says moscow could abandon the deal that enabled the resumption of grain exports. ukraine is visiting turkey which helped broke the deal. moscow wants the removal of barriers to the export of russian fertilizers and grain. before approving a extension to the deal, the agreement helped bring down global food prices. china's military has sent warships and planes near taiwan for a 2nd day, according to time by the height military drills come as, begging is angered by president citing. when's recent meeting with us? how speaker, kevin mccarthy? china views the self, rhode island as its own territory. japanese officials have found what they believe to be fragments of an army helicopter that went missing with 10 crew members on board defense minister just to console. honda said the helicopter,

breast cancer. the natural world has helped humans for millennia to treat that health problems. and it plays a central role in the discovery of new drugs some of them have gotten the full distance, but the thing that's produced in nature is the drug that we use in the clinic. but in many or perhaps most cases, it's that, that a chemical idea that's been gained from nature has been operated on the altar to give it good properties as a medicine, some 70 percent of cancer medications alone. a based on nature according to you and experts. but the search for new sources of pharmaceuticals is becoming ever more difficult. biodiversity is disappearing at an alarming rate, almost a 3rd of more than a $150000.00 species assessed as part of the i u. c. n thread list,

which attracts the state of the world by a divest, he threatened with extinction. and humans are to blame the 2 things that threaten both of us the most moment over harvesting and land convention. and it's not just clearance of land for lost at the grace. it's clear, it's land for food for last up to eat and clements at the ations. human driven climate change is also having an impact. fine to say loss of byte of us t does not just present a problem for drug discovery. humans are almost completely dependent on the natural world. whether it's through trees that remove pollutants from the air or crops, the provide food. the by diversity is the fabric that holds life support together on our planet. if we didn't have living wild nature and it would be in a much huddle impossible to say from his planet. governments promised to tackle by

it of us he lost by protecting 30 percent of land and oceans before 2030, whether the commitments become action could dictate not just the state of the planet, but also human health. that report i filed from louise osborne from dw environment desk, and we really had it summed up, well by that scientist there. but bring it home to our audience. once again, why biodiversity matters so much? i mean, we obviously need it when we are sick, as we were just talking about with the pharmacy schools. but it's completely essential when it comes to keeping us healthy trees. for example, remove pollutants from the air which gives us quality air to breathe. very important in cities where a lot of people die from diseases associated with air pollution. they're also wetlands, for example, the clean water. one of india's biggest cities ca cut uncle cutter is dependent on its wetlands to,

to clean the water for drinking and for farming. and without these jobs, the bite of us he does for us life would be very difficult indeed. what about all of the technological advances you hear about in biotech and tech in general? is that helping in the fight against this loss of biodiversity? well, we've heard about bes disappearing, for example, and the impact that that has on the crops that we need to eat for our food. and there are machines that are being developed that would be able to pollinate crops for us. but that's just one job that the bees do. they're actually lots of jobs. and these info just jobs. we could probably, yeah, account for in some way. but all of these species are interconnected and they need each other so where that be might disappear, then the bird that is reliant on that be for food might then disappear as well. and then the fox that has reliant on that bird, so it's all interconnected and we can't account for that overly. and what about if

it's to keep nature intact? is there a reason for hope or there are measures being taken and there are solutions that we can use. i prefer a story, for example, uses our integrates trees and shrubs and by adverse t into farming and farming as a big problem when it comes to by adversity loss at. there's also re wilding, for example, the reintroduction of species in areas where those species of gone or need to be brought back. and as individuals we can also do something. so for example, our cutting our food waste, making sure that we only by what we need rather than having too much the results. one, thank you very much for the tips and the insight. thank you for climate change is among the most pressing issues for people in germany today. as, according to a new opinion poll, the infra tsd map survey reveals germans gave their government low marks on the

topic. the study shows chancellor will have shorts as coalition with its worst popularity rating since taking office spring 2023 in germany. olaf shoulds and his 3 party coalition have been in power for 16 months is. are they dealing with the problems that ordinary people care about? the latest infra tsd map survey shows what those issues are. more than a quarter of german sake, climate change should be the government's number one focus. compared with january, that's a 50 percent increase in the number calling for that. people are still thinking about other international issues like the war in ukraine and migration. well, more domestic questions like the cost of living are further down the priority list . the climate question has been at the heart of arguments within the coalition, lately, which may explain why more people are focusing on it. some in the government want

to press a head with ambitious green plants, while others are worried about the cost. the poll numbers show that reflects a split in public attitudes to only 18 percent of people think germany is on track to meet its climate goals, while much larger proportion. say it's either going to quickly or not. pushing ahead as fast as it should at the end of march, the government parties a great some tweaks to their environmental plans, especially focusing on transport. some aging auto bonds will get a face lift and planning processes will be shortened to speed completion of some long story projects. at the same time, more money will be pumped into the nation's rail system. asked if those are the right priorities. germans tend to agree. a big majority supports boosting rail at the same time, more than half one more fast roads to be built, and a similar number oppose the use upcoming ban on new fossil fuel powered vehicles.

in fact, only 36 percent of german support that move. and as spring brings warmth to germany, what these poll also shows clearly many people worried about the climate and about the government's plans. in fact, a just 27 percent support for the coalition is at its lowest level. yet giovanni's chess federation has nominated its youngest ever player for an upcoming torment in croatia. 11 year old who same vessel is said to join the team after dazzling in domestic competition. but having arrived from water theory, there's a lot lord state for hussein in his family than what happens on the board. some spend a lifetime trying to mark the chess of his get the hang a little sooner. this is who saint bay's, who i just 11 years old. he's already considered one of germany's most promising players to him navigating the tough strategy game is as simple as 2 plus 2

is my find a fun because i like math. i'm with chess. you also have to do math, and that's why i like it. the sub for this plus hussein is set to represent germany at the metropolis cup in croatia later this month, making him the nation's youngest ever player. it's as much a celebration of pure talent as it is of immigration and then appear for holding. we are very proud that who same was invited to join the german team to participate in international tournaments when we wished for the german team to achieve great results. of my boys, who same was actually born in syria and started playing chest. at the age of 3, it was long before his talents began to shine through heavily and our family. we always play chest together. my father and i, with my brother's st. hussain used to come and start asking how to move the pieces,

how to play the game, and this is how we learned the basic moves of chess. and then he started saying technical moves we would say after 6 or 7 months, hussein was very, very good. hussein's family fled their homeland from the germantown of lich. dat in 2016 since then. boy, wanda has been honing his skills in local clubs. thankfully chess has proved a useful tactic for fitting in it happened. i started playing a lot of tournaments in germany, or that's how i improve my german man dodge. while hussein's family continue to fret over their residency status in germany. the youngster is purely focused on learning as much as he can while away, but the german chess federation. i would be the ones i am playing with are all older and therefore maybe they have a little bit more experience. but i honestly think it's great that i'm able to play, and i think it's a fantastic chance. i think songs after difficult beginnings,

germany's youngest chest sensation is ready to seize an exciting opportunity. it's jonathan, so went better than but that's all from the news team for now. up next to our documentary features a bond yard in germany, where noises for block bus the filter created. i'm been pursuing, we leave you with pictures of a special least the treat animals in the whips. they'll zoom in the u. k. didn't just have a chance to hunt for eggs, but dig into them as well. thanks for watching. ah
