going to strike a decisive boot blow against come on, i believe that my government, after that were, wasn't actually interested in defeating tomas. as i learned, hearing direct quotes from a government, people who are a senior ministers, even for a minister and nothing y'all himself have said that their policy has been to strengthen from us. i don't believe that we can defeat from us through military force alone. i'm not a pacifist, but don't think that in no, uh, no circumstances. israel, i might not need to fight and defend itself against. i'm awesome against terrorism . but i think that in order to defeat from us, we need to create hold uh for a future where posting ends in as early as lived together side by side. and our current government and previous governments have been completely committed to the

idea that there will be no co existence between israel and palestinians, interposing in state or palestinians with the with equal rights. they want to prevent a posting tuesday and we've turned our backs on post indians who are willing to make compromises, who are willing to work towards the future. we designated those to be human rights organizations, terrorist organizations, and we try to cut off funding from them. and from other post in bodies. meanwhile, for the past years we've been facilitating the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars a year from us. right. so i think that these bombing scans which are exacting a huge, huge tall on civilians. and i've heard a statements by military, uh and government uh, representative saying that, you know, the goal is to create, to cause damage. it's not even about accuracy. okay. do let me just ask you finally

do, do you think is real, will emerge from this more that's about, that's taking place right now. will emerge stronger or weaker? you know, i'm, i'm, i'm optimistic. i hope that this is a wake up call. this is something that people in the human rights community, people in the, is really into occupation kept have been warning against that occupation doesn't bring us security. and you know, we've suffered devastating blow us so many is really civilians were slaughtered october 7th. and since then, and even higher number of public opinion civilians have been slaughtered. um and. 2 you know, i hope, and i think it's, it's up to us, it's up to these really public and it's up to the work of activist, i think it's also up to the international community. is the international community going to just say, you know, this is just about defense and not hold in demand that isn't posted. these are

granted rights and creating hope for the cost in people. because and not just it's not just needed, says this by the way, the former, who headed the shouldn't bet on the i alone. a said that the only way to really, truly dispute hum us and defeat terrors, to create hope for palestinians and our government, current government and previous governments have been against creating whole proposed indians to achieve independence. and uh, i think the question is whether or not uh, that will be the policy going forward. and, um, you know, i predicted, but i think it's really up to us and it's up to the international community. uh, you know, holding um right, riley's at to account for that bench a thank you very much for talking with us. that was busy. sandra is the regional and program director at the n g. a extent. thank a or israel's is also launched 10 airstrikes on the west bank targeting

a mosque in the janine refugee camp. this real described the site as a terrorist compound and said it was being used to prepare attacks. the posting and health authority says 90 people were killed, had been killed in the west bank in the past 2 weeks. palestinian suited by the aftermath of and his really strike the hit damaging this most compound in jeanine v p g temp. israel says militants switching from underneath the mosque to plan further. attacks neva, it's the same meaning local, the source slate that the time got to ship out loud with the the young people around what time for the the neighborhood outside was empty. we heard a sound like below versus they and suddenly there was a strike on the roof of the most up or not. but the gen ma'am, in the 2nd i that is that right now we're still taking all the bases of body, bought them, let them you know, strikes on the occupied. we spent a re,

a compared to gaza. but israel school with some of his lead to increased violence here to the palestinian helpful. tar. she sees dozens of people who've been killed over the past 2 weeks. among this 19 year old. the children of right to my is really services from us militants. don't roll the occupied we spank, but they have support among many residents. his team sions, in violence, worse and some fee of this could become a new battle ground and is rouse war. in other words, origin, tina is headed for a presidential run off next month after a 1st round of voting failed to produce an outright winter center, right? economy ministers sag. you must have made it unexpectedly strong showing, despite ever seeing 140 percent inflation. you'll face the par, right?

libertarian. have a late in the run off in 4 weeks time. an unexpected boost. argentina's economy minister, sir, do a mazda took the lead in the 1st round of presidential elections? count on the account on each one of you. thank you. from the heart. under most is watch argentina's. economy has sunk to its worst crisis in decades. some 40 percent of the population lives in poverty. still, the central lift candidates had a slight lead over his chief rival hub here, malay right wing populist. the mazda had promised the international monetary fund to cut spending. he announced tax codes and social program expansions in the run up to the vote. in the move seen as an attempt to win over voters as rival milly has meanwhile, about major economic reforms like dollars rising the economy and cutting back on

government spending. if you don't get the ahead of us, it's very clear. we either embrace change or we foremost, it's an election between those who locked us in a brutal quarantine. and those of us asking for freedom, those are defend populism versus those who defend the republic, over the golf. but mili also denies humans are responsible for climate change and as against both abortion and sex education. the highly polarized election in november 19 will determine whether argentina will continue with a center left administration or elect one of the right leaning leaders lead a country place by triple digit inflation and rising poverty. here in germany, the lift party is set to lose significant weight in parliament. so that's after tenant that's $38.00. m p 's joined a new grouping founded by one of the party's most prominent members by campaigning

on an empty migration. platforms sell a bargain next. as yet unnamed party will be coursing voters currently choosing the far right populace. she has also criticized current policies on the ukraine war countering climate change and finding poverty. or political correspondent, emily gordon, is following the story. emily, who is the son of a bargain, connect and what's behind this move. so what was that? how long can i swear to you as a household name in germany? and she is not in most was really the most prominent figure in german politics. really, when it comes to the left pause to start smoking john pulse expense. she is the most prominent figure known in less posse. and now it's been rumored for months, really that she's going to form her and policy. she doesn't see i time with the left parties, leaders and haven't done so for months really. so for example, when it comes to migration, she and hold the opinion not to try me means more restrictive migration policies,

because it is the small people that suffer from migration. um, now ultimately what will happen is about associated has now announced that she is leaving the left policy and she is doing so together with a lot of the colleagues. and together they have now registered a club or an association really that will eventually probably in january be turned into a policy. and that's one of those will be able to join it. how much of a chance, what a new volume in the next party for lack of a better name, have in the upcoming elections. we'll see the next few months until this policy is actually food. and it's going to be a lot about fundraising, on fundraising, not just to pay for the creation of this pond team, but also to start thinking about that campaigns next year. they want to stand and then your opinion elections next year,

as well as the other 3 state elections that are happening in jeremy next year. now these day to elections will happen in east eastern germany and about source aware of this thing because she has the biggest tonsils ready to make big gains. so what does all this mean for the left party? it's been around for years in parliament. what does it mean for the left party and opposition in general and the german parliament? i will say the last parties, popularity has really been at work both. and that's been the case for months or can do almost in the last federal elections. they only just got into the bonus, talked to them empowerment. and this year we saw in 2 states elections, one in bavaria, and one of the passa, where they were kicked out of both parliaments. so they have a very little popularity, altitudes, about full. so i'm gonna do 2 lots of in fighting the left parties known from the torres and fighting the valve arguments. now the thing i'm forming in policy is

a result of this and fighting unless think i have on connecting issues such a famous figure in german politics on the on and last spring, german politics. that's her leaving the left pa table also affects versus full. the last policy, some of them will likely go with ha, but i don't think at both as well for the less positive future in germany. emily, thank you so much. our political correspond, emily guarding their watching dw news from brielle is to just a quick reminder of the top story. we're following for you this our trucks with relief and have entered guys as rafa crossing from egypt. the 3rd says conroy in 3 days. the united nation says at least 100 trucks need to enter every day to meet the basic needs of civilians in the

the funds will be traveling to slovenia. this year's guest of honor of 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 seldman, rusty keeps on writing. in spite of death threats and a knife attack, he's a true believer in and a vendor of freedom of thought. at this year's frankfurt book fair, he was awarded the peace prize of the german book train. watched us this price mean for, 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 a moment when there are 2 was going on. no, nobody's company,

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. victor 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, well come some of the time. but there's not got also parishes 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, to think about history is that nothing is true all the time. there are moments when it's liberal and told her and open other moments when it becomes a liberal intolerance. 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 font. why 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. um, i mean, i'm a little beaten up, but i'm right. i feel like a working rush it. 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 is going 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 with 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 nice meditations after an attempted murder is set to be published. next year. salman rushdie continues to write and defend freedom of thought. 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 mon financial deals here. these are the ones. how do you say dad, without there being a question mark mid shots. he 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 angry sister. and of the struggle of women left behind. the sun talks to a father who never answers the holiday. the rules of 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 a 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 evict dental's. and even if the circumstances are harsh and, and just the and also they are there for each other. when the world isn't that much to the guys is 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. fights at mon 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 why 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 in berlin, london, and basil, and meets magnets for 1st grade loan. again in our twenty's the to started relationship, administer phase, writing her was an easy access. the often this why cloud officially? and if i knew i could only write this character in 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. yeah. and good, which to toppa, luna is fascinating and disturbing at the university in vienna. the character researches female authors whose families immigrated begin to dr. it 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 her abuser. let's keep it so this is on site 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 obviously looking at this issue, that's when i realized that i to have judge 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, for 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 eye drifter. could this be a new book by the indic matic director? only think establishes novel is also called drifter. 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 apartment 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 caesar more and more often and learns that become a band as an influencer with magic powers? she wreaks havoc on the lives of benzo killer and everyone else she encounters

flowers in to see i think i'm intrigued by dysfunctional characters, who mediums with powers even obscure once. um, it's almost a mixture of a diabolical figure and a super hero. and perhaps also an anarchic character. but historically, such characters are rarely females kind of that and, and by place 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 learn 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 crushing jesus try can nonsense at the very end when you write a book. wonderful. yeah. born 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 in 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 has no food hub, was the live. and so the strength takes us by the hand through time. all the while challenging her own perception. and asking whether there even is one truth. she shifts length on the lines of her mother and grandmother. and at the same time, on the social circumstances in france for her, the book is about laying her passion 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's 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 of an 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 members spoke about their trauma. not with each other, knowing what steam this novel is a reckoning with permits 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 the parents as matter and you want to present yourself not only as rich, but as educated 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 skin, all odds till finds his path at once sarcastic and sensitive. the novel is an

account of rigidity and rebellion of 1st love in 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. hassan. the next we travel to slovenia. 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 uga slobber, yeah. 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 translations and lilliana. we met with the author of the amount of those, the non, whose new novel was recently released in germany. in 100 years of blindness home on what was the 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 look at morton and stick with putting to the to sit the more they had to

follow the dictates of the cold. i'm look at the hotel cox and i would prefer the to a 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 the people were the victims to take off. i used to put them all go on the other hand, work through the big was also a blessing. say, old montana. towns got bigger and grew together. it is all just probably me, but of it, it was a new people move to them that was kind of goes uh a booth and they could develop sort of pick it up the quote of the more thing by the after 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 audiology is with echoes reaching into the present day. the story has also captivated in drago young char, one of slovenia. as most a world renowned authors. his books have been translated into many languages. in his 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 dungeon. his father was once a partisan, now he's a broken man. his mother is devout and sends her son to church service and religious instruction. tanya feels torn, experiences, death, and loss. his world has 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 routine, 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 slovenia and society under yugoslavia and communism. it's also an amalgamation of stories, young child heard as a child today as an author 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 through my, there's 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 anya, a goal of the shop is an attempt at making a stand against the big monopolist under goal of as a publisher and editor as well as one of slovenia 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 money that you're not because you want me to not because you want 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 that 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 problems, pain and in places almost harsh vision and push it down to push it in and, and put through a verse, pros, history and demotion. so the meaning of literature is strong and diverse,

and more accessible than ever to international readers. that brings us to the end of this literature. special thanks for watching. we hope you enjoy your next book. the
