the, the, the, the we news line from berlin, heavy fighting continues between israel and the militants in the gaza strip. egypt says it has negotiated a truce, but israel's military continues to intercept rockets coming from the gaza strip. launch strikes on millions and target inside the territory. also coming up nationwide, protests continue as political turmoil groups pack us down. the

angry supporters of the former prime minister in non con, thanks to the streets after his arrest. the dramatic events come after a lengthy tussle between khan and the military that brought him down. and a recent whole in germany shows a growing number of people think the country should be taking in fewer refugees. this as politicians, me to discuss how to proceed with those support already here the, i'm the conflict. welcome to the program. is rails military is pressing ahead with air strikes and palestinian militants are firing rockets towards israel. that's the spines reports that egypt had broken a ceasefire. the militant group as lama jihad said, and fired hundreds of rockets on wednesday, setting off air raid sirens throughout,

southern and central israel is really or strikes have killed at least $21.00 palestinians, including 3 militant commanders. and the latest finding israel said it was attacking rocket science. preemptively i was bringing our team on the ground to double your correspondence. rebecca ritters is in the is rarely town of thinking near the border with gaza and across that border and gaza city is journalist sophie fund a ton. welcome to both rebecca. let me start with you. israel's army and gaza militants treated heavy cross border fire today. what's the situation in israel's tonight but suddenly has been pretty heavy across the board as far as you rightly point out . some of the words that we've seen since august last t, when there was another flare up here around about 300 or nearly 300 rockets. the last official figure was $270.00 though it's still that number is going to be a lot higher. as of all these have continued have been fired today from gaza,

which is pretty doc. now you probably can't really see behind me, but the lights there on the hills that is across the border into garza. now, even in the last couple of hours we've been hearing room is it's being reported in some media that it talks of a cease fire. but even at the same time as that was, you know, rude or announce or being reported on in various media. we saw another quite large volley come across a couple since then. and even small rockets as even missiles towards television. so definitely that say, so i am not going to the sci fi totes, at least not going that. well, the situation here is the most, all of those rockets, many of them we can see behind us a little bit earlier. uh, they were shut out by the by, as well as a defense system beyond done. some did make mindful, namely in the city of serat, uh, and ash, cologne, where a couple of buildings were damaged. mm hm. we can see it from where you are,

but we do have someone across the border in gaza associate what's happening there. so i'm standing north of guy, the city and we've been seeing during the past few hours from about $730.00 rockets being fired, being launched friend here towards israel. we've been seeing and hearing them. and at the same time, there is also been further attacks from israel into the gaza strip. so far we don't know anything about casualties here. and we've of course, also been following the talks about a possible ceasefire. but the fighting, obviously seems to be continuing right now. it's quiet, but we need to see how this is going to be developing. so seeing this latest escalation is between israel and the military as long as the high that's designated the terrorist group by israel, the west and european countries. how strong a force is this group and gaza?

it is a note and faction in gaza, 2nd to her mas, which is controlling the gaza strip, and has less capabilities and has less finances. but the fact that it's been behind recent attack shows that this faction is not to be underestimated. israel keeps reiterating that there are specifically right now targeting b is why make jihad, no tons and whether this conflict, my brother escalate totally depends on what role i'm us might be playing yes. and then up to this point they have been appearing to remain on the sidelines. so how, so what is their role sophie? i'm not is not interested in a fully fledged escalation. that's what many experts and what are assuming because i'm also seeing what an escalation like that could mean back in 2021. massive destruction mess of suffering and the civilian population. i'm not worried about

losing popular support if that were to happen again. if there was another war that would include harm us with lots of casualties. the situation and gaza as dire, the economic situation is very dire. and the work permits that are given by israel to costing and workers across the board. us are very important for the economy and garza and they will be threatened if there was another longer escalation that some of us would be involved in. so there is definitely political interest here as well, and not letting this further escalate. but we need to see what's going to happen. rebecca, let's talk about the process of a ceasefire. what's being done to bring this funding to an end? well that have been told is ongoing between egypt, katasha and the un, their sort of speed heading talks and negotiations. now, earlier in the day, israel was saying that it was willing to accept a see saw respond,

but it would definitely be willing to face hostilities as it was, you know, we were hearing that home also also in agreement. but now it's looking like we're also hearing from some sources saying that the sci fi talks have broken down, namely, because is ro wouldn't agree to stop targeted assassinations in the, in goals or against the islamic jihad, militants. and so that means that they, as long as you had home, said that they, they wouldn't go ahead with any say 5, but of course, these things all fluid. this is on an ongoing situation that talks continue. and we, you know, suddenly residence in goals are and here in, in southern israel, uh, well hoping for something to fits and things to be coming down. but it could be a long night ahead. volatile situation in israel and gaza rebecca rivers and so fee fund that time. thank you so much for the view from both sides. a cord and

pockets. don has ruled at the former prime minister and run con, can be held in custody for up to 8 days. con was dragged from court and arrested in his long about on tuesdays, barking winds spread protests across the country. these 5 people have been killed, according to media reports, and hundreds of his supporters. i've been arrested after caution with authorities. local broadcaster g o news says con has been indicted for unlawfully selling steve gifts during his time. as premier cons, detention comes on the heels of growing tensions with the military leaders. who else did? tales continues in pakistan in run con supporters of protesting nationwide. c of to the domestic arrest of the leader and a former prime minister. and what i'm kind of get him on cons. arrest is legal and unconstitutional. protest started yesterday evening to continue through the night and are still going on your comfort. the protesters will not stop until they run

con is released to honey. due to the violent protests, schools and businesses remain closed in many cities. along the roads of blog, businesses are closed. the people cannot go to work. to participate in the watson heavy committed this, these people, vendor lights are solved zimmerman. ver good. they're kind of go with those over to america. most of those students can not get to school exams are going on and the school children been suffering. the army is being deployed into practice, stormy states to maintain the one order in run cons policy lead is asking support is to remain peaceful from cut off due to high, but people are out in the streets. yup. logistics and they will continue to protest . but i've often a, this is the legal thought seduce the right. keep it peaceful. do not a didn't could be because is locked,

destroyed public or private property. but the reason for this is the former prime minister faces dozens of corruption charges, which he and his party deny. this time the pakistani authorities accused and run con, of receiving valuable and does a, brought it from a property type thing. this is and it asked, which is not more debated by any political demonization. this is a that asked which was not done at the behest of the government. it is. and that is, that was made by the national accountability bureau, the institution that is of was to look off to corruption cases in the country. meanwhile, a pack of stony court and dilated emerald cons. northly sending state gifts during his tenure and approved 8 days of physical remote and have him run calling. in

another case, if convicted, you will be disqualified from becoming premier again. i am now joined by the w h. o correspondence chavez, who is in bon chapman and there's been reports of at least 5 people killed them at the protest. how big are the dangers of the situation? spiraling completely out of control. of, in my opinion is actually already spot in the control c. so many people have to get and columns to voters have taken to the streets, the jumping slogans against the military. they have a dock really agrees with it. and she, the years in the office is this is quite unprecedented in box phone. it has never happened before. so in my opinion, things are already going back. and it has not happened in the boss, as i said,

and if so, please remain like this in the next few days and i live premium the next few days. already google docs funding politics. i can see the military possibly intervene dire and big. the matters and um, i would not to deny the possibility of i'm going to create convention if things continue to the protests effect the courts, treatment of cons, grass case. and i think it's quite unlikely you see, as i said, the military is quite unhappy with the situation and they came up with a statement where they criticize a parking spot in the homes of consul bodies alterations the minute. the military has been in boston, adapt by an onslaught. the several other politicians, the countries economies quite weak. the military is not possibly probably as

possible as it used to be some years ago. but it still has considerable crib. and if and when it decides to flex its muscles, the political bobbies, the industry, one of the stakeholders, a won't be able to resist the ministry ministry spa. so i don't think i've been wrong concert borders, but in education and products. good. good. uh, false in the middle of pre specials you do that down kind is a, here's really a polarizing figure, but he's also the most popular political leader according to polls. how do you explain that? he's a popular style edition. he is an old cider and buckets on the politics, and people see him as an alternative to traditionally monitor sheets to show ease of the book. and then people believe the comic and fix everything in boxes. they want easy fix. but the thing is that the con wasn't above a he failed to deliver. if he comes back to bob, well,

he's likely to deliver as all the populous additions for, and he does not have a proper, proper idea about how to, how to deal with the economy. how to be described to the issues of the country. so that's the issue and he's gone so good. a messiah is very popular right now, but popularity is not constant phenomena in politics. any case that ducks impacts on is going through a number of crises at the moment. what does this political turmoil mean for the path forward? well, the economy is the most. the most crucial issue for the tax on all of the issues that are important for the economy. they can amik suggestion is really, really bad about the focus on the government of the struggling do to get the i'm a big dog. oh, and this situation offer comes arrest is going to further down the. com. and it's

going to get worse on here. but we have to wait and see what the, the corresponding shuttle sounds. thank you so much. i here in germany, national and regional politicians are reading today to discuss the growing problems created by taking in large numbers of migrants. germany has taken in more than a 1000000 ukrainian refugees and is the start of the war. and there has been a dramatic rise in the numbers of asylum seekers from syria of grandson and turkey . many local councils in germany are struggling to get people integrated data. we went to the town of demons, start a small community, and the western state of has to find out more monday, 5 pm is getting time here in the most, at the local sports club in the small town and central germany organizes regular, meet up for children and their parents, refugee families, also take part coaches say they're a welcome addition the sports shop board just as needed language,

we often communicate without words. you're for staying on the guns off, no matter what you skin color or religion. and god, visual sport is great for everyone. for other choice the most that has a population of 5000. in recent years, it's taken in some 300 refugees may or el mirage router. it wants to provide homes for all of them. but that's not an easy task on the left, and we're at the limit of our housing capacity. we couldn't accommodate any more people. we just don't have any available living space. we're also stretched to providing language classes. language school doesn't have enough teachers who can offer german courses for from the state. the bunk was a mountain. many towns in germany face similar problems. the country took in more than 1000000 refugees last year. housing is scarce, and so our spots in schools and daycare centers, the back of the town hall may or schroeder says he can't cope with the task of

integrating refugees alone. he needs extra personnel, but mostly it's obvious that a small community like ours can shoulder the burden of implementing integration programs on its own. we need additional staff, an idea only the funding to pay for it. but the guy that to the opposite sides we had those funds shrewder says should come from the federal government. not municipal budgets. people in the most have tried to help refugees where they can. lodge from somalia attends the weekly games with his kids. he feels lucky to be living in an apartment and can afford the rent because he has a job for a some issue with the fish. yeah, i already feel a bit like the most of the locals is on the best. and the best thing i've seen before in all of germany is right here in d motion. i don't know if an anything, even stat, a decisive factor in the fonts. and as for his new found home lodge,

met his wife, here in germany. how kind of a year as a member of the german parliament and the committee on internal affairs and community for the social democratic party, mister dom, we're welcome to the w. according to a recent poll, 50 percent of durham, and said they are afraid so many refugees are coming to the country. how does that make you feel as your 1st of all uh, like we heard about it. 1000000 people came to jeremy last year from crane on 200000 people from other countries. so we are and having problems to, to find accommodation and the font we did to very well last year. also with the help of the civil organizations with the help of neighbors. and now this year and the 1st 4 months we have around a $100000.00 people who came to germany. and yes,

some people on and i was thinking of yeah that we have problems and that they're saying that they are, that they are urging us the german parliament or the government to stop the high number of immigration. is that really the problem? so you're a member of the chancellor, a social democrats is his government and doing enough to create an accepting and vironment for refugees in germany and doing enough to create the you know, the structure is to take these, these people in that need to be in a safe place us? yeah. last year uh we had uh funding of 4000000000 euros for the municipalities or the lender. and this year we have a 2750000000 for the lenders and municipalities. and we are also paying for the integration courses and full of migration courses and so on. so we are

doing maybe not that enough like the you, municipalities wants to have it as so that's the reason why we have this meeting today. and to do and look forward to and doing more together, but it's not only the government, it's not only the lender, it's also the municipalities, they have to work together and to find the solution. okay, so what's going wrong here then is, is this working together not, not happening the way it showed what's, what's at fault here then? yeah, i think there are different uh, problems. i think one problem is that the government or the jung pond is, is paying money to the lender. and we are also observing that some lenders don't give the money to the municipalities is sold. they are also right now suffering. and it's right that a huge amount of refugees,

it's not easily to be submitted to, to, to administer, apologies or submitted to the to daycare or schools and so on. so it's a, it's, it's a, it's a big amount of references that we have right now. and like in the last year of so we find that we need to find a solution, but we don't have one right now. i want to talk about something else because a tax on refugees and refugee homes have dramatically increased in the past here. what do you think is to blame for that of the texas putnam putnam and the tax refugee and refugees have have increased quite dramatically in the past year. i just want to get your take on on why that is happening. the, the text is on the refugees and i don't know, i actually know basic physical attacks, violence against refugees. the islands. uh yeah. we have

a file right. movement in germany still and racism in germany. we have to tackle it as well. yeah. kind of mirror member of the german parliament for the social democrats. thank you. are you great in the army unit of fighting near the eastern city of boston? oh, it says it has pushed the russian forces back by some 2 kilometers. the claim appears to confirm an account from the head of russia's wagner, mercenary group, was in regular russian forces had fled from the battlefield. meanwhile, many civilians living in the region are now deciding to get out and get away from the destruction while they still can. the castle lived on fire and the loss of multiple kits were here on the outskirts of the besieged, ukrainian city of buck loot the fighting continues these ukrainian soldiers,

employees to respond to a tax. russian troops a very close by so we're going to should back right now, tries to kill some of them. the bus moved to see in the deadliest fighting since the will begun. both sides have lost a huge numbers of troops on that streets. the city itself has been devastated and yet to cranium and not prepared to give a top the for you would retreat for example. yes, we could say few lives, but then we will have to a solve back and we will. we could last a last much more or less. so we, we need to stand here to the system. the fighting is getting to close less than 30 kilometers away from by flute milan had to see you. leah,

a packing up and preparing to leave the city of coast in team. discuss how you pay a function. yeah, i feel bad for 3. yes. so i have to have such a long line trip through a to 3 years old. i know i have to leave in my hometown. research doesn't deal that's. that's just semester of 2 seconds. but you barely have time to get to the shelter. i'm. i tried wants to go to the shelter with my mother. it was, it took me for 2 minutes to back things up. so you might just ukrainians continue to see towns and cities on the front lines. often leaving beloved relatives and not knowing if and when they will be able to are time to for you to stay now and the birthplace of pablo picasso. the city of malaga is

commemorating 50 years since the artist us, but also remains one of spain's best known painters, but he was also a sculptor for most of his long career. a local museum is showcasing over 60 of his sculptures, now 3 dimensional work from one of the most famous painters of the 20th century. a head made from cement, and a woman carrying these. these are just some of the 700 sculptures picasso made in his lifetime. over 60 sculptures by the pioneer of cubism, are being exhibited at the costs or museum. picasso is an experiment or a seeker, a researcher of new forms of art. and at the same time, he's an artist who claims not to represent the world, but to build his own world. to build or rather scope that world. the concert experimented with materials like wood, iron, and steel,

creating recognizable shapes. his grandson co found that the museum it would take a piece of me told him you were to apply your needs some plaster and then each wouldn't become also on any mode or bird or something. so it's a question of adding or taking, taking weights. very modern human shapes, especially those representing women, are central theme shapes inspired by his lover as well as his pregnant daughter. the exhibition called because of sculptor matter and body is the 1st major showcase of the artist sculpture in his home country, spain. that's all for me for now. next you can see russian american professor of international affairs may not crushed about. interviewed info on conflict down with
