he will need to know what is happening there. you know, were series guardians of truth. watch know on youtube, d. w documentary. ah, this is the w news. my from the lead on high alert, says violence continues in the middle east through women killed in the shooting in the west bank hours after israel launch. their strike saw targets garza and lebanon . both are coming up as you buy out exp, painkillers, and even treatments for cats that come from nature. but bio diversity is

the is where the military says it's pre dawn strikes hit targets linked to the palestinian militant group. hamas earlier rockets were fired into israel from both garza and lebanon over the sky line of gaza city lighting up not long after the israeli army confirmed that it was carrying out airstrikes in the territory. ah, israel also launched strikes in southern lebanon. this is the aftermath of a day before dozens of rockets were fired from lebanon toward israeli territory. the biggest rocket attack from lebanon in 17 years. israel's prime minister convened a security meeting to discuss how to respond mercer law to quote on regarding the

aggression against us on the front. then we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price of any act of aggression within 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 and the other security services to defend our country. and our people whom the israeli military said most of the rockets were intercepted by its iron dome, anti missile system. this property and northern israel, however, was not spared. israel has pointed the finger at palestinian militants for the attacks. i meant to time of rising tensions after israeli police raided the al acts and mos 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 this matter in the coming period. as well as capitals, but the holy month has so far brought no signs of de escalation. israel is over night. air strikes were followed by a salvo of rockets from the gaza strip. dw correspondent rebecca rivers is in jerusalem. it's good friday. so thousands of christian pilgrims are expected muslims, a celebrating ramadan, jews mocking pass over how tenses the situation will

be where i'm standing right now, just outside or the entrance of the old city at damascus data. things seem pretty calm, pretty normal. everyone seems in quite a jovial spirit. the tensions are very, very high here at the moment, as you can imagine, given the events of the the last few days last week in particular, or what you heard in the report there. that of the scenes that we saw on tuesday at the alex m also with israeli police going in to they say get a people to come out of the mosque. but we saw video all the people of the police beating people inside the malcolm that has thought anger amongst a palestinian community. and we've seen a lot of rocket via coming from lebanon and from garza, in retaliation, detentions incredibly high at the moment. and as you say, the convergence of these 3 holy festivals, making it even more tense to israeli women have been killed in

a shooting attack in the occupied west bank. what else can you tell us about that? that's right. we got wired a couple of hours ago of a shooting attack in the west bank as you say. now 3 women, 3 learned from a settlement just outside of jerusalem were shot in that attack to have died at the state. and one is in a critical condition and now have massive come out in a statement. they didn't claim responsibility, but they praised the attack, calling it a natural response to is to response to israel's ongoing crimes against the l. x and loss going against palestinian. so at the, the, the events of this week really causing a hugely high tension in the area. right. when politicians are now calling out, holding for a very strong response. and we've seen the police chief come out saying that anybody who has a license weapon should be carrying it. so that's certainly not going to do anything to de escalate the situation. pensions very high of this weekend. and what can you tell us about the situation in gaza after the strike stay overnight?

the idea struck, they say 10 hamas targets overnight, including an underground site used to construct weapons, also weapons workshops in an underground, so called terrors tunnels. and they have a that was in response to as i mentioned earlier than we saw in the report. those red rocket fi coming in from northern lebanon at, sorry, southern lebanon into northern israel. now, in response, garza fired back more than 40 rockets into southern israel. and they didn't really land anywhere in particular. they many landed until fields. i always shut down by the i don't system just won a rocket. did hit a house cool thing, some light damage or becker. it is in jerusalem. thank you very much for the analysis and for the situation in lebanon. d w's, bay root bureau, chief mohammed, ch. haiti gave us this update

a short while ago. life is looking quite normal and the liberties a border towns are but the situation is cautious. current matter is raised. miller, to we said it had struck 3 mass infrastructure targets in that southam, lebanon at residence or around the russia di palestinians, refugee camp, near the southern city of tier, reported 3 loud thus around for a m a local time. this comes in rita lee, retaliation air force cause 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 her 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 her israel. the

iranian box, or group, repeatedly expressed at readiness for any upcoming battle with israel. what sort of political reactions had there been in lebanon in response? well, on, on, been might be the most difficult front, or for israel, from a perspective from a military air perspective. however, the political situation the been on is very fragile. the country has been that facing our presidential vacuum there for 6 months now. and the ability of the caretaker government to take important and crucial decisions is very limited. there are major political divisions in, in the buttons as in lebanon, as well as the m. a. some of the opposition leaders have accused iran's affiliate, including hesper law and a lied palestinian factions of a dragging the been on possibly into a ward with israel. now lebanon's government,

caretaker 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 would stop the war with israel in 2006 and the minis army sat in the air statement. it is working a closely with you and peacekeepers in south lebanon, are for d escalation. bob, and thank you very much for your update. they root bureau chief, they're turning to ukraine. a u. k. intelligence report says, russian forces have made significant gains in the eastern city of back mort. the british belief russian forces have taken the city center along with the western bank of the bar, but co river. that would put ukrainian supply lines under threat. ukraine has denied the report, but admits the situation is difficult. but what has been fought over for months and has seen some of the fiercest fighting in the war? a ukrainian military spokesperson told reuters news agency that moscow is focusing

all its efforts on taking the city a corresponded k gosh, and ascii joins us from reger radio. he's been operating since we were banned for russia. british intelligence report, say ukrainian forces have lost ground in back what the ukrainian military says. it's still fighting there. what are the russians say ben, the last was here from the russian side about the situation. but more it was from you have any progression to head of the wagner group that been fighting in the city . and he said yesterday that the enemy, the ukrainians, are actually not going anywhere. and as you said, this battle has been going on for months over 8 months for over 8 months already. and it's turned into this grinding st to st bottle. and in the last week, the russian side has been indeed on the move that they've been taking ground in the city. but regard, but progression said that the ukrainians are actually preparing new lines of

defense in the western part of the city along the railway tracks which run from north to the south. so they offer a pretty good defense possibility for the ukrainian side. and the, and the he said that there cannot be any talk of russian offensive yet. and of course, for precaution, this is a chance to strike, to hit at the russian defense ministry. and there is some concrete going on between him and, and the russian defense ministry. but still, i think it, it shows that if there is going to that sir, it shows that the frontline is moving, but it's moving pretty slowly. i also russian foreign minister. so gay lumber office visiting turkey to discuss that deal that saw grain export from ukraine resume during the press conference. he also addressed russia's attitude towards a potential p steel. we got the, we are ready for negotiation, still taking into account the realities that have developed to day and taking into

account the nature to mate interests and legitimate concerns of the russian federation. primarily in terms of our securities, oppose how open is rasa to peace talks. to you, since a change in the rhetoric then it might sound like that a bad so love roof later went on to speak about how the west has ignored russian interests, russian concerns for a long time. and the, it's actually how russia is presenting itself in the conflict. it wants to show that it says that it's open, or for negotiations. it says that it actually wants peace. and it's heinz all the blame to, to the west. and that is apparently a, according to the russian earned to the russian to russian officials controlling ukraine in this conflict. and even yesterday, the spokesman of letting me put into the said that

a russia doesn't see room for political settlement at the moment. and that it does it that it in fact doesn't see any other way than continuing the so called a special military operation. and i think also also it's important to, to, to talk about what level of said today. he said that any p stock p stocks need to include talks about the a new world order. and this is something the russian officials have been talking for for years really. and rather me, a put in, has been talking about how he wants to, he wants to achieve a new multi polar world order. and in a russian interpretation, this means actually in worlds with spheres of influence that i think this shows that russia still is trying to bring ukraine under its control deed on a battlefields or in, within peace talks, dw correspondence, jesus shanowsky, thank you very much. and let's take

a look at some of the other stories making use 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, yahoo council, amanda said the helicopter, which disappeared with all on board, had apparently crashed into the sea on thursday. u. s. supreme court justice clarence thomas is facing calls for impeachment, following reports that he received high value gifts for decades without reporting them. according to an investigation by news outlet, public public, a conservative judge accepted luxury trips with hundreds of thousands of dollars from a billionaire republican make a donor find his mexico city of battled a huge blaze at a market that started thursday night. some 85 fighters were on the scene to control the place that affected the 350 market souls. no injuries were report. hundreds of thousands of people have joined another round of protests and strikes

in france over the government's pension plants. protest is want the raising of the minimum retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00 to be scrapped. a french president, a mammal, mack or absent on a trip to china is determined to stand his ground. not even with mac, wrong thousands of kilometers away. paris is still burning. this time it was one of the french presidents, favorite restaurants in flames, as processed 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 joined black rock. the company is a major player in the private pension market loads not been involved in the government's plans. but despite the sales 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, did it or 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 of the means which could be explored, which is not done at all. and so there's no discussion that's obvious what you'll do on that today. we have the impression that we are faced with a deaf dumb cover. me that is not very good at communication. can we get the impression that emanuel mccomb has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country? what could be with the government and the unions refusing to budge and talks going nowhere, both sides and now waiting for france is constitutional counsel to way in next week

. animals, plants, funky bio diversity, offers a treasure trove of chemicals and compounds. some of which can be used to treat diseases from malaria to cancer, but more and more species of being threatened with extinction is that jeopardizing our health t w's though he's osborne took a closer look for, well health day. a c snail that is the source for the pain medication, a 1000 times as powerful as morphine and north american tree with the power to treat breast cancer. the natural world has helped humans the 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 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. is kids land for food for last up to eat and clements at the ations? human driven climate change is also having an impact. scientists say lots of

biodiversity 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 d. w. 's 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 do that. they're actually lots of jobs. and these info just jobs. we could probably, we account for in some way. but all of the 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 folks that are relying 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 or integrates trees and shrubs and biodiversity into farming and farming as a big problem when it comes to by adversity. loss 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, are cutting our food waste, making sure that we only by what we need rather than having to munch the results one. thank you very much for the tips and the insight. thank you. germany's chess federation has nominated its youngest player for a tournament in croatia, 11 year old, who same as so is said to join the team after dazzling domestically. but having arrived from what on syria is much more at stake for hussein and his family. some spend a lifetime trying to mask the chess, others get the hang a little sooner. this is who saint basie. 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 me to find the fun

because i like math. i'm with chess, you also have to do math, and that's why i like it. and the sub for this person who's saying is set to represent germany at the metropolis copping croatia. late to 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 hussein was invited to join the german team to participate in international tournaments. we wish 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 in our family, we always play chest together. my father and i with my brother's cnbc. hussein used to come and start asking how to move the pieces, how to play the game. and this is how we learn the basic moves of chess to 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 and a germantown of lich. dat in 2016 since then, boy wanda has been honing his skills in local clubs. thankfully, chess has proved the useful tactic for fitting in. it happened that i started playing a lot of tournaments in germany. that's how i improve my german mer 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. as of the zen to ones i am playing with all older types and therefore maybe they have a little bit more experience. but i honestly think it's great that i am able to play and i think it's a fantastic chance i think falls after difficult beginnings. germany's youngest chest sensation is ready to seize an exciting opportunity.

and good luck to him. that's all from the news team here in berlin. i'm ben for solon. thanks for watching. we leave you with pictures of a special easter treat. animals in the whip stale zoom in the u. k. didn't just have the chance to hunt for eggs. bunt got to dig into them as well. ah
