it is down, down defensive and, and there's folks at all of this issue with those where i held captive inside the guns a strip is one of the reasons that this campaign has both begun yet would and see how that develops about some a truck solving allowed to enter gaza, do you expect these are all to allow more aid to be delivered? well, if you listen to his radio officials, they've been saying in the last 2 weeks that this war is going to be conducted differently in terms of the aggressiveness of these writing military as they were saying that no age is going to enter the gaza strip. they were saying that is a previous measures that were taken any previous military campaigns in the gaza strip. today, we're talking about the different ball game and so forth. so i would say that the fact that you have trucks in the does a strip today is

a result of international pressure on is road. and if you ask these ready officials, they will say nicely going to go to the script because they're a, is to go into gaza, top of the home, us regina, and dismantled the military capabilities of how much. and this is what we hear again and again, they're not as somebody so coating, service of them. thank you for your reporting now is where the security forces of class with palestinians in the occupied west bank. these are all says it's carrying out to patients to comp, time kill, have mass militants, the united nations that says dozens of people, including children, have been killed in the west bank since the am i asked her out tax 2 weeks ago. the oh girl, friday prayers sound out in ramallah, the west banks, biggest city but the safe seems pretty

soon tuned to protest against ease rouse, devastating strikes on garza. this woman says whole family is their home and shame for what is happening to them. they slow to children and women. we do not forgive the arab countries because they left us down and on they did not stand by us. they left us alone. i hope so more than this so that we don't need empty words. we need someone that stands by us and move and move. feel that come us is doing just that. we are your soldiers, my home days neutrons. praising him. most of the military wing commander. the westbank is not governed by homos, but by thought to the party, the controls, the palestinian authority, will p a is widely seen as weak, corrupt and ineffective. now, more than ever, to pay

a blame each round and the west through its fragile legitimacy growing by the day. don't forget, plus september of them as instilled before the general assembly had made it clear that the international community is feeling. the son is the same for the has the responsibility and obligation to protect its people, but is what it is making its actions. none of that void is a, is putting the bins they are all the hurdles full. the p a in the 2 weeks since a mass is attack on israel. here in the west bank at least 80 people have been killed in confrontations with this brand new forces. and the jewish settlers on thursday is riley road and is trying on a refugee camp in the region. killed 13 people, including 5 children. anger here is a growing to this group of protest is maybe small, but it's enough for these, right? mm hm. in a treat to take strong action on the hilltop, vacancies, riley,

smell. life is the same, shooting lot rounds of ammunition to raise protest as his frame, burning tires and throwing stones so far the permitting, say 70 people have been shot, including one of their on the west bank is known as a major focus of the is randy military response for now, not with the public losing even most i see in the palestinian authority and support for some months apparently growing. there is a fee here that could soon change now well the this i've got it for a piece i'm. it's in the diction, capital, cairo, as well as trying to de escalate the conflicts that it gave them to ensure aid continues to reach guys out there are i believe, to say it's time to restart the drive to end the decades long cycle of live and level to be nice out of the scenes, let's have in mind while the this, i've been discussing ways to prevents the conflict, escalating the wide divisions,

remain germany's calling for the new middle east peace process to create an independent 1st thing in states alongside these are all egypt precedents abdel of fi, file cc, the summit host, spoke out against what he called collective punishment of the people of gaza. and you all can for the good. i'm as waiting said the candidacy. egypt expressed that we will demand an amazement, silence dawns that the entire world is taking right now, that you'll feel that am apt on this scene in which $1500000.00 people being besieged. what to collectively punish, just idea, and i'd be forcibly displaced. what a set up is allied with with these are practices the amounts and the flawed by the national community called me, well call you, i don't, it is a lot so you can just be fine. but yes, even a song by i miles, the order order arrives, the tech arrives is rarely cdns. and those are important to tech scan that will

just be fine. the collect his punishment and the palestinian people. easy to show the meditating law, including the geneva conventions must be a pill that includes protecting civilians and not attacking us people, schools and do and privacy is that good and blue, sheltering also medium people and then what have you are and again that then the displacement of our people to the outside of the gods. we war and the danger of the displacement of our civilians from their houses in blue or they are displacement from the westbank or from the result. and that'd be, then we will never accept this for a single displacement and will stance on our land despise the challenges. get the message. the arab world is hearing is loud and clear. probably as soon as lights might have less. then these radio ones. oh,

or lines measure less than all the mines. the application of international more is optional. and human rights have boundaries. there's stopping borders, there's stopping races, and they stop at religions. that is a very, very dangerous message. as a consequences of continued international apathy and action will be catastrophic on us to of all civilian lice meta just the same. and let me be also clear, the cost of all the suffering of these past weeks, the suffering that brings us here today, the suffering of the little girls, the mother, the families, have a name. it was how most the brought to run this terrible,

but you spend on october 7th, committing atrocious friends like any another country in the world is right and has the right to defend itself and to protect its people against this terrible, within the framework of international law. that's why the german government strongly stands and solidarity was use rail with a chiral v some at the end and i asked the jim on egyptian general is carrying l go harry in cairo, if the pots faith and countries could i agree on anything as well. i think the problem was from the beginning that it's difficult really to find the common ground to. i mean you have various different participants. you have somebody like the german for me is the book who reaffirm the solidarity firm. so is there a fee which is right and you have for example, of the king of georgia who called about this rate is a $3.00 in the gaza strip. a collective punishment, a violation of what

a terry know and a wall crime. so i had to find the common ground to seen all of these sites. and i think that will come across was kind of the fear that this contract was, might spin out of control the fear of the instability in the region. not only for his writing and the gaza strip, but also for the why. the places like usually like in jordan or in the and they think this was the common ground between all the parties to try not to escalate those. meanwhile, countries slides route and the ron, they went up parts of this, i'm it. so was there ever any hope of a solution to the conflict? yeah, the worry part is we're not, they're not is right. not anyone from how much low for example, get on was like one of the supporters from us. and but i think that was also not the idea of the whole somebody that was not about mediating immediate. we did it in the summer. i think what the idea was for the addiction house was trying to get the

idea for too many tearing ceasefire on the internet sheet agenda. try to also that your payments are listening to this, the month for the monitoring seems fire and also saying that all the, all of this at the end has to come a political solution. and maybe the 2 state solution. they post kind of say what the, what the egyptian house, what's right, was the summit talking about the hosting egypt, the been positioning themselves as in the data with this, i'm is kind of really play that role. what traditionally they used to play this role whenever it was a conflict between it's right and gaza. it was shipped to mediate. it's because it has continued often see it has the supervisory relationship is right. and it has contacts to almost, although i think in the last year said this is another country which is the cause. remember, it's the casa who has

a very close context to how much so maybe is more suited for this role of mediation, as we could see. the release of this to uh, hosted just yesterday to american hostages yesterday was also happening through custody mediation, not through addiction issue, right, kind of email go, how do you generalize reporting from pages, capital cairo? thank you. let's. let's take a look at some of the stories now. hundreds of people have gathered in the city of la, forwarded to welcome pakistan's, former prime minister, the wisest salaries, who as back home after 4 years of self imposed exile in london. so eve went bad to receive medical treatment, while 7 to 14 year prison sentence for corruption. he's now trying to win support ahead of color mentioned connections in january. for my month, just the united and england style, bobby chelton has died. yours and grounds leading go square up on the decades,

and considered one of the great testament filters in the history of the game. talton $13.00 need titles, one, if a company we can comp would mind just the united, as well as england's only of a lot of copying. 1966, that's all for now coming up. next. awesome view of takes you to sylvania, which is the guest of on this, the front stage of the one who's on the top of the

those to rebuild thoughts, move indices on d w those the note just to have his face and to make the right decision, dw, you know, follow the every 5, give us talking about about about the occupation of people that are full of disorders . i will not cry. i will not cry fine. is there a topics that you never done with me on a stick, then there's a kind of freedom in seeing your fears become reality because when fears come true, they stop being fear of the our show today is over,

the funds will be traveling to slovenia. this year is guest of honor at the frankfurt books that will also be meeting the 6 authors whose books were short listed for the german book, tries 2023. but 1st we come to someone who has long been truly committed to freedom of speech. salman rushdie, the struggle goes on. salman rushdie keeps on writing. in spite of death threats and a knife attack. he's a true believer in and defender of freedom of thought. at this year's banquet book fair, he was awarded the peace prize of the german book train. watched us this price mean for you. you know it's, it's, it's, it's a very important prize. an award like this which celebrates the value of fees, is, particularly in the moment when there are 2 was going on. no, nobody somebody,

nobody's talking about ukraine, but that's still going on the time of the conflict such so deep as it is right now. it's all the more important to restate the importance of the value of peace. first, let's talk about your current books, victories city, which was published this year, victoria cities tell us of the king and of his mega in southern india that actually existed when men and women are equal and all face. welcome some of the time. but it is not gonna also perish is at the end because it abandons all its ideals. is this a commentary on develop situation? well, one of the things that interested me doing the research for the book was that it's really true that in this very long ago period, this is the 14th and 15th century. we're talking about that to the place of living in society was very advanced in many ways. and women in every walk of life is when

in the army, in the legal profession, or as much in traitors, so cetera. and i thought how interesting that 700 years ago that was true. but of course, i think about history that nothing is true all the time. there are a moments when it's liberal and told her and open other moments when it becomes a liberal. and in colorado. rusty grew up in india and the u. k. he has 1st hand experience of what it's like to be the target of terrorism and intolerance. he was already a well known writer when his 4th novel of the satanic verses was published in 1988 for large parts of the muslim world. it was seen as a provocation. the supreme leader of iran, ayatollah khomeini, issued a buffalo against him in 1989, calling on muslims to kill him. the writer had to go into hiding for a long time, but he kept writing against religious extremism and censorship. his strong values

have cost him a lot more than 30 years after the fight. one was issued. he was attacked in 2022 and barely survived the bill that was shot when you were attacked and seriously injured more than a year ago. how are you today? i mean, as you see, i'm pretty much recovered. i mean, i'm a little beaten up, but i'm right. i feel like a working rush. it and, and that i'm by no means the only riser in the world who has being threatened or attacked. and unfortunately, this is a phenomenon that has gone on through history and it doesn't show any signs of stopping. so we have to fight against it. that's the only thing to do, keep to keep going there. so the actual well between how much in israel, what can literature a chief and such difficult situations and such difficult concepts?

i mean very little. i just think there are things that woods can't do, but what they caught doing stuff was what prices can do, which they are doing is to try not to correlate the incredible pain depending people are feeling right now. that's probably the best we can do is to articulate the nature of the problem. is next to nice meditations after an attempted murder is set to be published. next year, salman rushdie continues to write and defend freedom of thoughts. 6 german language novels made it onto this year's german book prize. shortlist. 3rd topics include family, violence and identity. we start with santa ma, financial deals here. these are the ones. how do you say dad, without there being a question, mark? that shot to you is the tells the story of a family torn down the middle for the father left and disappeared to turkey. flying

in a hospital bed, the grown up protagonist, addressed as a letter to his father about drinking poverty, arguments and humiliation at the emigration office about his lonely mother and the angry sister. and of the struggle of women left behind. the sun talks to a father who never answers the holiday. the rules of the fathers here is to be projection surfaces until they're gone absent, but they leave behind pain that the characters have to somehow deal with when the new person becomes strength. dizzy and these book is about a generation of the children of immigrants who don't have the same opportunities, but try hard with what they have a vision. this is what's important to me is to do the characters, justice and the 3 items so that they're never just a big dental send, even if the circumstances are harsh and, and just the and also they are there for each other. when the world isn't. it used to the guys, is it a, grew up in western germany. he now lives in berlin and writes for the stage and

loves music, which is evident in his writing voice. fotz at mom for birth, mark shows us sometimes harsh reality. it's a family story and social call commentary in one full of emotions and radical truths. while the world harp down about how we had no prospects, we knew the opposite was true. we had too much perspective. we'd seen things the other kids would never see while they were spooning their parents pumpkin soup for it was easy. it's about finally seizing the narrative, telling his own story and being hurt. the wind is moving to stay with a man who humiliates and beats are the protagonist of to raise the

a more as novel grew up in provincial east germany. she's 18 when the wall comes down. attractive confidence in talented. she studies literature and berlin minded and basil meets magnets for 1st grade loan. again in our twenty's the to started relationship, administer days, writing her wasn't easy. access the often this why cloud se salon, if i knew i could only write this curve during the 1st person, so that i as a narrator would not judge her title one, but even then it was difficult to forgive her for everything that i had described to her and was young at the top of luna is fascinating and disturbing at the university in vienna. the character researches female authors, whose families immigrated, begins a doctorate on the construction of femininity, but she gets everything up for magnus, including her friendships and career when he hits or she understands,

and even identifies with the abuser. let's keep it so this is honestly, i admit that i screamed like on a spit to the new month. if someone had done that to me, i probably would have also pushed them out and slammed the door in their face when the 2 flame 2 books not to raise, the more suddenly explores the depths of an abusive relationship and a protagonist, as readers were confronted with our own and the author's prejudices then i shall commit this issue. that's when i realized that i too have judged the victims . i've thought it's their own fault or i would never be like that. but the truth is that i would be the end and their place. i'd be like them going to be a very so difficult truth in luna or half a life to raise the a more that helps us see how little we know ourselves of the

the 1st time they see the woman in the glittering gold dress is on a train the more than the dress, it's the cover of her book that catches bends of i drift or could this be a new book by the indic matic director only think establishes novel is also called drift or it's the story eventful and killer to friends whose reality begins to increasingly shift killer is struck by lightning after which everything starts to change. killer leaves his wellpaid job and sleek apartments and moves back to the tower blocks on the edge of town where he and his friend venza grew up. the is the mysterious woman involved. penzel sees her more and more often and learns that vehicle might have been as an influence or with magic powers. she wreaks havoc on the lives of benzo killer and everyone else . she encounters its flowers and to see i think,

i'm intrigued by dysfunctional characters, who may be honest with powers even obscure once. um, it's almost a mixture of a diabolical figure and a superhero, and perhaps also an anarchic character. but historically, such characters are rarely females kind of to set an invite to reality and believes dissolved laughter. visa shows up the apartment block, the 2 friends grew up and become so real pencil as baffled versus reality. what is reality? what is illusion? and how well can we tell them apart? how well can we separate fiction and reality and without giving too much away we'll say that venza learned something about drifters new book and finds that what's most real for him? is his friendship with killer or the

do any of us really know our family's history? do we know what happened when we were kids? in her novel memo, sylvie, shang defense, deeper and deeper into the story of her own family. the writer only recently discovered her mother's secret, long after her death. she had been adopted and knew nothing about her roots. but she carried that in clarity with her in silence for all of her life. what does a daughter do? what her mother doesn't speak? when get when you get used to it and you speak yourself to a month, so you try to listen to the silence pushing jesus try can nonsense at the very end . when you write a book on and for point in france, sylvie shank moved to germany when she was 22. in our search for answers she kept

imagining herself into the past. for instance, to her grandmother who was a prostitute. she tried to get as close as possible. s weston. i only began to understand it when i crept into my grandmother's bed and my mind and told her because i'm with you. like a sucked up the screen, but i knew i couldn't just write the story. had to experience it and no food hub was the live and search strength takes us by the hand through time all the while challenging her own perception and asking whether there even is one truth. she shits length on the lives of her mother and grandmother. and at the same time, on the social circumstances upfront for her, the book is about laying her past to rest of farewell relieved of resentment. a

gina was born into change 3 years before the fall of the wall in a town in east germany. she is a child of the reunification. the generation born into the agony of the g d r into a disillusioned world where the promise of socialism had already dissolved no list to on, in, on a job as novel, english guide on click or the possibility of happiness. the g d r is gone. button lives on and people's minds. the still young stina thinks this new germany tastes different, but otherwise not much has changed. she senses that her parents are unhappy in the newly united country. but silence generally reigned in her home life. for stina childhood was a dark time and there was little love. her mother was cold and cruel, and that were beatings again and again from an early age. steam and leaves for berlin as soon as she can. but the question stay with her. why is there so much

violence in the why so much patriot for foreigners attacks and harsh top listing. hong kong is vanna and so many other places. student researches, she routes through archives and speaks with old friends. just like author on top of that. as long as you buy stuff and then what surprised me in my research was that the topic of violence always came up, comes up to this. there was obviously the political violence by neo nazis, but also within families in open and ended all kinds of families confirmed in what role that the ged, yours found in generation play like steam as beloved grandfather powered for example, who was very strict with his daughter's was it the 2nd world war that had hardened him for family, never spoke about their trauma, not with each other, nor would steam. this novel is a reckoning with submits and stories of the past and a call for truthful intergenerational extreme. and

last but not least, this year's winter coming of age novel by austrian writer, tonio, shocking tonia, checking out the and elite vienna boarding school. the most famous in the country, housed in a former hapsburg residence. here in the mariana, the children of the elite are prepared for high level careers and political office . i can certainly say it's a world where to parents as matter and you want to present yourself not only as rich, but as educated if it costs. so you want to have a pinch of education sprinkled on top. however, it's not really about education, but about consolidating social status. sophistic, this is where to find himself after his parents divorce. stranded between snobbish classmates and a despotic teacher in his name and tell us and someone who charges in and

challenges authority from the start. and then i can keep if he tries to muddle through morgan. but as the novel continues, that becomes more and more difficult, except the as time goes on till finds himself in the cross hairs of the administration, his teacher, and the antiquated educational system, then his father dies till checks out diving into the world of age of empires to a complex real time strategy get his grades in school plummet even as he becomes an internationally successful gamer. but that means a little to the adults around is like the taking bus to see if that and i wanted to show what it means to be a game or initially and how hard it is to bridge the gap between till very detailed knowledge of his world. and, and what his mother regards as knowledge ship would get to begin again are all ons till finds is past at once. sarcastic insensitive,

the novel is an account of rigidity and rebellion of 1st love and finding your own way a compelling coming of age story. i think that there's a kind of freedom in seeing your fears become reality because when fears come true, they stop being fears and sun next, we travel to sylvania. the country is this year's guest of honor at the frankfurt book fair and home to a strong literature seat. the majestic and rugged mountains when some towns and villages and the capital lewdly on a warehouse for monarchy architecture meets mediterranean congeniality. for centuries today, slovenia stood under foreign rule after the 2nd world war, as part of the multi ethnic hue, this lobby, slovenia, declared its independence,

and 1991 a factor in the years of war. that led to the breakup of the former yugoslavia. today, slovenia has a population of just over 2000000 and literature is a key component of its national identity. these days, a broad range of slovenia and literature is available in translation. and liliana we met with the author of oman was the non, whose new novel was recently released in germany in 100 years of blindness. home honorable z not cast the story line through 100 years of slipping in history. it's a family novel with a blind man as the main character. matea is born on may 24th 1900 in a mountain village. the same day the ground opens and swallows his families home. the earthquake was caused by a nearby coal mine where deep, underground tunnels are blasted out that wreck the countryside. the mine is both occurs and a blessing. more than

a stick with the to sit the more they had to follow the dictates of the cold. i'm look at the hotel carnival for felipe, the cold decided what kind of community there would be and what industries with develop your industry assembled the via the, to without them. and of course for the people were the victims to take off of this and i used to put them all go on the other hand worked with you, but it was also a blessing. sales marketing, all towns got bigger and grew together. it is all the problem you put of it in let's go to deals are new people move to the templates can do is a little time they could develop sort of pick it up the quote of the same idea as to the disaster mathias father has to abandon the farm and like many before him go to work in the mind. it's hard work while the women keep house and family together. so my team who was born blind, the trials and tribulations of the 20th century, like the 1st and 2nd world wars,

are more than just background noise. mateo witnesses, how politics can drive which is between people, how old rulers are disposed of and replaced with new no less merciless ones. the 100 years of blindness tells of love passion, wars and the ideologies with echoes reaching into the present day. the story has also captivated in drago young char, one of slovenia. as most of the world renowned authors. his books have been translated into many languages and is hometown of mari bore. there's even a museum dedicated to him, all be a tiny one house and a former newsstand. like many of his books, his most recent novel at the creation of the world is set and more and more. it's 1959. the 2nd world war is receding into history and a new age is daunting. but the war lives on and people's heads and divide society

and a former anti nazi fighters and former pro nazi collaborators. the main character of this novel is young, done yet. his father was once a partisan, now he's a broken man. his mother is devout and sends her son to church service and registered instruction. daniels deals torn experiences, death and loss. his world is shaken. young child experienced his own childhood in the 19 fifties and sixties and much the same way. my hero probably have, she says the good thing easily is every person is every wrapped around somebody who is quoting in the next chapter. make something about this even so booked in a very good and evil as targeting with the last and with the within the, the few, sorry. the note you have so your, from in history as their notes. you know, so the solution in the signal human being at the creation of the world is

a parable of solving in society under yugoslavia and communism. it's also an amalgamation of stories, young child heard as a child today as an officer and as a, as he's a partisan for democracy and for europe nowadays, your for, for muslim from temper your, uh what, what group connect it without over economy, follow the politics and pretty my picture of solution and i believe this is our, this could be literature because if somebody from the other 5 in europe can read. so assume i need this her experience of a nation or surrounding that i would, but i think so this is a kind of a automatically for, for understanding. and then suddenly we are closer because of this smart board

today. this new bookseller carries a very distinctive choice. selection, one of the proprietors is on your goal of the shop is an attempt at making a stand against the big monopolist on the goal of as a publisher and editor, as well as one absorbing the, as most celebrated poet you know how degrading it is when i'm invited for example, to berlin, and then people see and then people come to me and, and basically say to me, yeah, but your german is good, you know, we understand you just like, go so seriously. you know, i am here, i am here because i saw that you want to speak to me about monitor. not because he wanted me to, not because he wanted me to present something to, to check out because i am because i am the from,

from sylvania or because i am married to a woman on your goal up as a public figure known in slovenia for her work as a columnist and her political engagements. yet her poems are not political more than anything. they are simply poetry. for me, this is a sense of 43. yes, of course, it is political, but i don't think that in my point to i don't believe that this is something that why i write it. but this is a part of me and there's a part of me. it's a natural thing that it will come there and it will be there is the most natural thing that comes like this. goal ups latest poetry volume tells at the end of a great love. it's intense fraud with pain and in places almost harsh vision. and push the to push it in and, and put through of verse prose, history and emotion. so the meaning of literature is strong and diverse and more
