real. and there are growing fears of the conflict spreading to neighboring lab and not where the prospect of another crisis is simply too much for some to be the break off. it's good to have you with us for days after suffering an unprecedented terror attack. israel says that it is stepping up, it's been barred, made of gauze, and it says it has now regained full control of its border. the conflict with the militant group of boss has already killed more than 2000 people on both sides. and there is no sign of any lead, often dividing israel's prime minister, netanyahu today warrant of a long and difficult war ahead. israel has now called up 360000 reserves. miss sol bloss echo throughout goza raising whole buildings to the ground and

seconds. israel says it's military offensive against the palestinian militants behind stocks. today's attack will continue new that should go down to what's input. so i know that we all once immediate result one, it won't take time. one, i promise you years riley citizens. at the end of this campaign, all of our enemies will know that it was a grave mistake to attack these royal my corporate. this what we will do to where i read amazing the coming days, i mean, will reverberate with them for generation, some adult. this footage shows the moments that miss solve hits. what is really all me says a 2 set per mosque months and has in gaza on the ground, residents of gathering that belongings and

trying to escape as the strikes continue, whole neighborhoods are quickly becoming uninhabitable. and as the number of injured increases, hospitals are struggling. yeah, do you have the o, this is randy asked, drank the medical situation in guys i had already been green for nearly 17 years. the hospitals have been seriously hampered by the siege. we don't have the access to many medical supplies, drugs and equipment in gaza above as the israel has announced a new siege of gauze, a cutting of food, few electricity and water supplies. how must this drawing to increase the pressure on israel's lead is by threatening revenge for the strikes on goals a you know what i mean had he said no, early, no,

we announced that starting now every targeting about people without warning will regret it may be met with the execution of one of the enemy's civilian hostages. here nearby here nothing. we will be compelled to broadcast it. you know that both audio and video valley come with bullying the phone will be, will sorta but as well shows no sign of backing down in an effort to maximize its cheap strength. these really apples, this daunted, flying citizens back from europe to be mobilized as was of this part of the go now to semi circle. he is a journalist on the ground, it is real. he joins this slide from jerusalem semi year and he'd been close to the gaza israel border. and it today just put this in perspective for us. it has been 4 days since the terror attacks took place for days. and now finally is real. says it has control again us yeah,

well i can tell you we're not talking. busy the full control and we still have skirmishes that we've still have some incidents in between. busy how most of the fighters and these early soldiers in different locations inside the is ryan, and they clearly a mazda and also these lubbock g r r, continuing with a launching rocket and the downstair earlier that they will in long chapter, they ask alone at a certain hour and indeed they launched a rocket split, ask them more later on towards the pedal did. and another thing that happened today along the border with was the it is read. it took a group of foreign digital wrist to the kid. both of us off and the they show them a place where according to the accounts of, of soldiers and others who have been there. there was a massacre and we. busy were both the men and women and children were killed, a brutally kills the according to i pounds,

who reported about what happened this day. we believe that some of these images and i have reached the president by the who said today in his speech, is that the what, how mosse is similar to isis? so this is the kind of things that we're hearing here. it is around today and tell me what has been the reaction there in israel, as you say, i mean, these accounts, these images of, of this one massacre and one could what's, you know, they're now coming to the 4. we're learning about them and what's been the reaction in israel, as well, as i said, it's only fine journalists who went in there. and it's very clear that this is the kind of the message that is on wants to bring it to the outside world. and especially to the americans and we, we heard it in the speech that was given by a bug bite. it is rarely surely as it does not go to this sexy boards, a, the,

there's no images, no photographs of those that are be shown to the media. what you said is the, the different kinds of reports. do you know hyperlinks that they tell me? do you know why there were no, it's really journalists. i think that is why i let this page is interested in getting sent to see uh from uh, the international community and especially on the, the americans. and the, i think that's when it comes to these really publish. it wants to show this when the public, the, the army is strong, it wants to keep the morale high. it wants the public to trust in the military that as actually fame in there in prevent the uh, these uh, this attacks in preventing these, the killings and, and the soldiers said we're all on the board or they were 1st tier than they said

to do this. and that was the failure of the military offend you of the intelligence . and i think that that is read wants to show the public that it is a strong and, and this is what we usually see here in the media. but when it comes to the international press, of course, the angle is a bit different. we know that 360000 reserve is have now been mobilized. i mean, that is a record in the history of modern is real. what are there orders going to be? i mean, or do you based on what you're hearing, do you expect a some type of ground encouraging ground invasion of gaza? is, is that a minute? so this is, this is what everyone here is talking about. so this is going to be a ground incursion. i think the question would be, is it is it is to the end the game, what, what does the end game of these really governments do? they want to talk to the how mosse regime?

what do they want to have instead of how much the reason that they haven't said it? and if i knew i was talking about revenge and clearly we're going to see more strikes on garza. we're going to see more buildings, more casualties in the gaza strip, or we're going to see a ground offensive, but it might be limited to certain areas, but they want to surprise how mouse and show them. that is, what has capabilities, journalist sammy's over with the latest tonight from jerusalem. 70. thank you. the european union's foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, says that most member states favor maintaining financial support for the palestinian authority. now speaking after an emergency meeting of foreign ministers today, burrell also said that israel has the right to defend itself, but the world should use the escalation to solve the conflict. but we have to

single, so about uh, what is going on, what, what would happen after for that do have to increase the reputation with that. it will i would have to recalibrate an upgrade. the initiative would be took some months ago together with that of leak with as you with jordan, you saw the area in order to revive the had a base plan to remind a will that the police genie and problem still exist to do make peace between not countries and use well is good to necessary, but also be has to be done with the police damage. otherwise is by end of the cycle of violence will raise thought if you gain alright, i want to pulley now. natalie told you she is the director of the institute of international affairs in rome. she has also been

a special advisor to the used for and policy chief such as mr. morales and also federico, olga reading. it's good to have you with this on the program, but i wanted to get your take on what we just heard in that is most members of the european union say the financial payments, the aid going to the pallet standing authority that they should stay intact. do you think that's the right move now as well? i actually do think it's the right move in the sense that is one of 2 things. right? so i mean i the, what we're saying is that european assistance to the palestinian territories had over the last decades, either directory or in directory supported him house. and of course, what we have always said is that this is not the case. so either we changed our mind or this, in which case absolutely that it should be suspended or we continue to sustain that

that assistance had never actually been child direct people in directly to house, in which case suspending b a now would not be a punishment to how much which oppose has perpetrated the crimes that that it has, but it would be essentially a punishment of the palestinian people. so basically, you know, already that there is an admission the failure upset change. i'm in fact a crime committed by that you itself, right? because if it was as actually supporting her mouse, no, it's timing. it's no contract policy with her mouse. then they would be a massive problem. the even institutions beginning with commission, nobody would have to obviously respond to. or we continue to believe it. i believe that this is the case for the aid has never actually beach how a mouse in any shape or form, in which case defense be suspending the systems what amounts to collect the punishment of the palestinians. mister, just tell me, why are you certain that the aid has never reach the hands of

a moss because we're hearing across a lot of countries here in germany. we're hearing some people say, can you guarantee that this money is going where it's supposed to go? as well, what i'm saying is that there's nothing but happened 3 days ago, right? that should have made us doubt this. so i think we have legitimate concerns about where this money was going, in which case we should have been investigating that as a long time ago about israel has been essentially suggesting, accusing that you a child in the money to have math and the you have consistently said over the years to it's have investigated and no money has been channeled either directly or a direct you to have my so i the we go back basically on everything that we've said and we moved it right. so what i'm saying is, you know, i, but what we would say is, right, but we come if we now changing our minds on the x,

right? then all we have is the change in online to where that money was channeled, or all we actually, you know, all the way of inevitable support as there should be towards this role given what it has gone through, basically sort of channel our role basically on the wrong act, so we just don't want him as the kind of sending people. what do you make the end of what happened yesterday? i mean, yesterday we, we got the announcement that e u payments were going to be suspended. and then in the same day, we were told that that was not going to happen. so you know, someone somewhere inside the you had a disagreement. i mean, how did you explain what happened yesterday? i know that someone has a name and a son and comments on the commission of on the neighborhood for the see, i mean, let's not forget the bailey has been basically pushing for a suspension and but i, let's remind everyone is the uh, darian uh, commission appointed by the code all the time,

i say no more. right. and has been pushing basic to you for a suspension of assistance to the palestinians really for quite some time. i mean this is nothing new. so basically saturday came out with a tweet right. now we don't know whether it was done entirely and so the, whether there was any consultation with the president of the european commission. she, of course, of the president says, the notion that there was no agreement on this uh, there was supposed to be was lots of discussion within the collection of commissioners. mm hm. so let's assume you know, as it is, but any basic needs for the when to to know. so the, you know, this is when soto, well, he went so something is not up to him to decide. so this is that what triggered a sort of set of counter reactions, both of the commission that like you monetary and assistance as well as from the high representative. and then of course, today there was a meeting of the far the fast council where basically they were full member states

that have as far as their by natural assistance is concerned, decided to proceed on a review or a suspension of their assistance. all of those meaning, you know, sort of the remaining of 23 member states are all sort of set in favor of continuing this assistance. so at the moment, essentially what seems to me that it was a initiative taken by one commissioner, neither with the backing of the entire commission. no. with the backing of them and the state. yeah. natalie church, we certainly appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight and we appreciate um, you know, the direct answers to these questions um, very valuable. thank you. thank you. but we've been forwarded it earlier. more than a 100 and the bodies have been found that they can butts near the border between israel and gauze, or that's following the stand off between

a mazda militants and the is really military survivors have now been describing what exactly how they faced us and escaped at 400 people who witnessed the mastercard, barry keyboards near garza in bunk cuz of the constant fire. yes or the must have shown if is there anything you need or can i help you with anything this hold on to ask. yes, giving back my keyboard. the woman says, give me back my mode of friends, the army, let them die. in the middle of israel saw the kayla struck on saturday morning. they kept it the moments when they looted kidnapped and threatened to be killed. people. anyone who went outside was killed immediately. those to state inside outcomes. so that's screens. things just have to work on them. and of course they slow to us,

execute us. there was so many of them with such heavy weapons, and we were trapped in the bunker microwave but didn't know what was going on on the side were on the head. what's up the silver vin? i don't have an expandable watch. that's of the damage hotel in ingle kicked by the dead sea. far from the place they once called home, psychologists and emotions to teams tried to distract these people from the atrocities they've experienced, at least for a few moments. and i'll include this at some point. we were rescued still under fire. my kids were so brave. we had to cover their eyes because we stepped over bodies on our way out. now we're thinking about how to bury the dead on the thing. so the whole families have been wiped out. there are kids who have lost their parents and parents who have lost their children. something in us has been broken and i don't know how we can ever recover from this. volunteers brought these donations, but no one. so any officials or government representative,

they feel neglected. first by the army, now by the state, left to know and fear. so they say when you sit in a bunker for 68 hours and block the door with just your hand until it turns blue and you change your hand. you just have a baseball bat, your son tells you if they breach, hit them. so that's not the life i want to live, then. okay, so anyway, but they were life lucky and they must be strong now. for each other the united states has confirmed, at least 11 of its citizens had been killed since saturday. and it believes that some americans are among those being held hostage by a moss. and the kidnappings have left families across is real in a difficult position. many of them defending israel's right to defend itself at the same time. recognizing that any type of ground invasion could make

a search and rescue mission almost impossible. were on the call with her. the terrorist barged into her home and with the her, the little bit of streaming. and that's uh that was our, our last contact with her. um, there was no shooting on the call and the nicholas dumpsters also doing care and shooting. my mom used the little bit of a big that she picked up working as a nurse in the hospital, in silica, for 20 years to come down to terrorist. and it is our hope, which is a bit ridiculous at this stage to say about the optimistic scenario. here's that

she's held hostage in gaza. and not that on the street of the people typical times for the families impacted by the events from last saturday while they were giving their accounts. today the us president joe biden, he spoke condemning the attacks by him boss. and he emphasized that the united states stand by israel, he says that he is real, has the right and the duty to defend itself. so like to share even more than $1000.00 civilians slaughtered francisco, slaughtered and israel long i'm at least 14 american citizens killed. parents butchered using their bodies to try to protect their children, stomach turn, and reports of the baby's being killed, entire families slain. today, americans across the country are praying for all those families in ripped apart. let us know how it feels that leaves

a black hole in your chest when you lose family feeling like you're being sucked in . the anger, the pain sense of hopelessness. this is what they mean by human tragedy. so that was the us president speaking earlier today. the attacks by him off and israel's response is all in flaming emotions around the world. here's a look at some of the places where this conflict is now brought people out onto the street fashion, please. on both sides. in new york city support, this is right on the palestinians. just meet there's a part with east lined up,

trying to keep the opposing sites separated the but not afraid of june. but we have 3 now. we were made to be subject to the impression of subrogation with the man the man an occupation with a man filling the fields in london at the pro palestinian valley. protest us holding hands to express all the data d for the cause. that's why i couldn't it was my voice was the last of the world we want, please. we want to do to get the we don't want to keep this all the, that's enough enough in here. do things got heated the

mazda, but the good news train has been shot for you across the world, into lea, to indonesia, australia, been to emotions are reaching well. the attraction is real, have dominated 2 days of talks between france and germany, french president emanuel mac wrong, and german transfer a lot. shoulds both expressed itself with arity with is real stressing the country has the right to defend itself. chancellor schoultz says that his government is following developments closely. you will agreed that the pomp, dynamic attacks of the terrorist against is really civilians to be condemned in the strongest times we join, please stand by israel. we own agree as well that it is, is,

was rights to defend itself against these despicable attacks. and at the same time, it is important to avoid defer the regional escalation to that and we are in close contact with many countries of this region. are our chief political editor and michelle, the governors. he's travelling with the chancellor and she has more i've done taught so last hold on french, president obama, and my call the parts here from the to day political retreat in humbug. both side condemned the actions of the service organization. how mazda and once again reiterated the full support for israel. at the same time is they won't rule out that ron might have been involved that sport french president mano, mccall said, but he said he wouldn't say anything more concrete until there was actual proof. both in its own statements with due by the us present. also with the tale and on bridges, prime ministers once again backed israel,

but also stressed that the palestinian people have a right to their own existence. it also thrown that commitment once again behind the 2 states seduce and that was a very on the calico of the reporting there. we've been a summary now of the events as they have taken place since saturday. more than 1800 people are known to have been killed since how mos launched its attacks on israel on saturday over a 1000 israel itself. and more than $800.00 in gaza. the united nation says more than a $137000.00 gardens are taking shelter at schools that it runs. the united states says that it has begun delivering weapons and military supplies to is real. german chancellor sholtes and says that germany is working closely with israel to work out how many of its citizens were kidnapped and how they might be freed.

from where to l. i'm joined by political corresponded alex gets alex. um, what more do we know about the german victims, the germans who may have been taken hostage by him offs or yeah, what we know is that one german citizen has died. this is what the family has confirmed. so a young student has been killed by the, by the hum us terrorists. and according to me, their re quote, we reports, we have at least them 5 german citizens who uh, at the moment held hostage by the, by the hum us, the german farm industry has not yet mentioned anything about them. so we don't know anything about their well being at the moment. but some us earlier today has said that they held some of those hostages. as of, of all of those hostages, they have at the moment they help them in the tunnel is that the, the mouse has constructed over the years. and so it is very difficult to get any information about german citizens at the moment to are held hostage by the homeless

. and but there is one story that has developed today. and that is the story of the young israel, a citizen german is where a citizen shiny look, this is a young woman that them we have seen on, on, on videos the, on site the days she was one of the participants of the festival. where the have my says input and test could hundreds of, of, you know, some people. she was the one woman on a pickup truck and she was stripped half naked, surrounded by most fighters. and it was just from the pictures. it was very difficult to see if she was just unconscious or maybe that. and her mother has apparently found out that she indeed is still alive, that she indeed is at the moment in a hospital in north and gather. the mother has found that information. mm hm. uh, things to a to a friend of the family who is living in gaza and and um, yeah, the mother cause of course for immediate action by the german government. well,

and what exactly, i mean in concrete terms here, alex, what can the german government really do to help rescue these hostages as well? the short answer is um, at the moment, not much and long. the answer is some they are trying to to work very closely with also the is really a forward these, but of course it is very difficult situation for the german government to do anything. so the german and best of the trees, we have stuff inside. but he and earlier today said that they are trying, at least to get in touch with you, with a family of, of the, of the people and to be believed held hostage. and the best at also said them, they are kind of trying the effect channel. it's to get in touch also with, with, with some us some to, to kind of remind them also that, that they need to treat their hostages with with dignity. but we have seen those pictures, and this is, this is rather wishful thinking because we have seen these scenes. these seems also

the reason why the german, i'm prosecutor, the federal prosecutor now is also investigating against the on known militant members of the must harvest organizations. but this is the app, so it's a standard procedure. this does not require any information about it. if somebody can, can bring these people to court. let me ask you this before we um or another time here. um, what's happening here in berlin? um, today the police here in berlin, they called off what had been planned um a pro palestinian demonstration that was going to express um, solidarity with the palestinians. do we know why that has that has been called off? yes, so the police has of course give reasons when they call off the demonstrations and i quote to, you know, they said they would expect antisemitic slogans and outputs and glorification of violence. this both calling by the police comes at the back of some demonstrations pro palestinian demonstrations that we have seen over the last days in berlin since
