[000:00:00;00] the the, this is the w, a news coming to you live from burly. more is really ground grades in gaza. the army says it's ground forces backed up by fighter jets and drones carried out a tax against some us targets in the central gaza strip. the strikes come ahead have been expected in page. also coming up, the humanitarian situation in gaza, deteriorates by the hour as vital supplies run. low. 8 organizations say just 74

trucks have been allowed to deliver relief since the conflict began. and that a, some of their brussels european leaders decide to call for humanitarian corps doors and pauses to allow paid into gaza reports say they struggle to agree on a common position. the hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. israel's military says it has carried out more ground operations and error strikes in gaza overnight. israel said targeted the suspected hum us positions in the north of the strip to prepare the battle field for an expected land invasion. troops and tanks carried out the rate with the backing of jets in drones. israel's military has been pounding gas a relentlessly since the almost terrorist attacks on october 7th, which killed some $1400.00 people,

mainly civilians. somebody says thousands of palestinians have been killed since then. israeli army says more than 200 people are still being held hostage by him. us in gaza. relatives of the hostages have been pressuring these rarely government to prioritize their release slow. earlier i talked to dw kind of kramer in jerusalem. i asked her about the is really military strategy and how it's being influenced by growing pressure when the families of the hostages was that's right. there is a lot of pressure here um, uh, from the hostage companies, but also in the general public to deal with this hostage crisis. the per m. d, relative of the hostages is saying the government is not doing enough to get them back. and also interesting enough. there's some polls that are usually coming out towards the weekend and is really news papers saying that there is

a trend that the public opinion says maybe to hold off of the this ground operation . and to see whether, you know, they can do something done about the negotiations. now we've heard from cut one of the main many h, as in this hostage crisis that are mitigating indirectly between our mazda and israel. and also egypt as in goals that there might be some kind of break. so, but that is very much on people's mind. vide no, never the last fair hearing also from the is really ami. they made another targeted rate into the gaza strip from the eastern side into surgery area and the eastern side in garza, during the night of this thing targeting the again, in for a structure. they went out again and all of this. of course again, while of artillery fire continues on the gauze and strip, also massive as try contain on the gaza strip, also into solves of cause of where israel has told gauze and presidents the

civilian population to seek shelter w as tanya kramer there in jerusalem. well, earlier i talked to military analysts to frank language. i asked him whether the is really rate in central gaza strip could be seen as an overture to the expected ground invasion. yeah, so the sense of what we're seeing now is quite go over the declarations like this. we saw this interact with the americans on the british, that cold battery. the purpose recognizance is info. ready savvy recognizance, the purpose is essentially to test the defenses. get the troops some experience trying to understand a most importantly, trying to understand the kind of resistance that they may face. not only for my boss, but also for minds and other prepared obstacles near the border. notice i might have gone in very deeply, but i think as time goes on, we're going to see more of these and some of the bank penetrate a little more deep in the one or 2 columbus as we've seen so far. yes. the 2nd thing is that they are messages these ready public, and we saw from tanya,

this report that the kind of message are trying to convey the army is, is in action. it's doing things and does this type of symbol. now reports are also coming in frank of the us air strikes against several targets in syria. how does that fit into the bigger picture of this complex a yes, the west and commanders for, from what i've, i've, i've been hearing are extremely worried about this. now the rates into syria, by the us, the arabs has been essentially a response to the rating attacks on us forces in iraq and syria themselves. so we're seeing a measure to calibrate it. proportional response for the americans. we're not seeing an escalation, but this is messaging to iran that the americans won't take these accidents against our troops in iraq or serial likely. but also to demonstrate capability. and remind the rain is that there's a very large american force ready to take action. should it be required?

those strikes in syria also raise the specter of the possibility of a wider war. there been reports prank of an explosion near israel, southern border with egypt. israel's exchanging daily fire with a has the law at its northern border with 11 on this become a multi front war are very much so i think they say tom, but instead of the one to the, to the south of god. so i think i notice it is rarely suggesting that that, that it came from yeah, 9, the americans shut down some drugs for me. i'm in last week and i think this 1 may have been met for them show of it's talking to me as well. but milwaukee, yes, i've the the auction that will detonate, test script wider escalation will be a decision by hezbollah to, to engage it's rocket forces. i think everybody's keen, that doesn't happen right now though it's riley's and has blocked a maintaining a fairly low level of of come back. but if we see not intensifying,

it can be very serious, not only for 11 on itself, so which would be devastating ultimately. but for the why to reach it? right, i want to get back to the idea of this blooming ground operation. that is real says it is planning to carry out. we have is really troops massed on the border. they are ready to enter gaza. what will happen once that begins, if it begins frank? well, having a supply. very cool. ok. but the, the hostages, extending the strategic cult. oh not right. you've got the strategic space for these rallies, but i think many, many people now looking at this a thinking that the full, this in cultural evasion or assault may take, may not be a single lot to solve, but may comprise a number of, of, of raids in force and extractions, we don't know. it will certainly a cub, but the americans are particularly advising these railways. do not go in force with

the purpose of occupation. what we would prefer to say is to treat this as a series of operations rather than one single operation. it does appear that that's the way the way it is, a big getting to look at things. frank, we really appreciate your analysis that was military analyst prank lead, which includes very, as the united nations says, 45 percent of all homes and gone. so have been damaged or destroyed with more than 2000000 people, largely dependent on for an a, the u. n. so it's only $74.00 supply trucks have been allowed in 2000 since the funding began. that's down from hundreds a day prior to home, us attacking israel. on october 7th, the garza health ministry says more than 7000 palestinians have been killed by israeli airstrikes. many of them children, an uncle picks up his nephew's body shrouded in white and takes him to the grave.

another young victim of gauze, as was named humanitarian crisis a little now, this is one of my nephews about those 2 of my brother's wife and children. room outage on how that my nephew was injured 2 weeks ago and because of the crossings a close to medical evacuations, he passed away the as no medicine for fiction treatment or no fuel. busy the doctors did that based off the moment the idea of the situation in gaza has 10 to one of abject misery, with shortages in everything from water to food and medicine. the guys, hospitals have been particularly hot, heat victims of these really strikes continue support in israel says it's targeting the terrorist group from us. as the number of wounded civilians rises, the u. n says newly a 3rd of hospitals have had to close due to damage or lack of few,

a few which is needed to pump the water and how a hospitals is in such short supply that the un has wanted may have to hold to humanitarian operations. if more doesn't arrive soon, israel says any fuel they allow in could be seized by him us and rejects you and claims that god doesn't have enough. we responded to by referring them to where come us, which governs the gulf industry. it stores fuel both diesel fuel, the other types of the busy and then other types of the fuel is all inside the gulf industry and there's enough for many days. for hospitals then walter comes to run. only the priorities are different from us prefers to have all the fuel for its wolf . i think it would be that the leading civilians without the leaders around the world debasing what can be done to help civilians who are the ones paying the

heaviest price. earlier i talked with journalist husband below show who was in gaza, he described the conditions that he and other people there are facing now. so it's so hard, didn't garza, it's getting harder day by day as a lack of a bigger thing. lack of food like before, the like drinking water above that, you know bower? no, i think sort city, no internet, no communication. and the transportation is, is how to that. mostly the connection between the cities is very limited. people are hardly communicating with, with each other. they are lying on every thing like bakery. the grocery shop says, uh but where is like some drinking water places. people go and wash too. we see people have like,

have good news and have everything back to live with it with washing or drink or to some people that shifted to do cooking on fire and see the know full open guides because it's not available as well. um, old aspects of light were affected it during the said the 20 or 21 days. it's the un says nowhere is safe in gaza. they point out that 45 percent of all homes and guys that had been destroyed or damaged. where do you go? how does um, where do you and your family go when the bones start falling? this is the big question among ordinary people here or still with there is no place to go. i know personally many people who hack you wait to do the south. wednesday, august to evacuate at from kansas city or the north temple to the south region cities. but i mean many of them, the chad, back to the, to, to, to, to the,

to go with the city because it's like continued offers or strikes in the south. we, i mean, according to the specifics like issued yesterday by the history of health, we are talking about over 2600. we have killed in the south. we cities a while about 4 or over 4000 were killed in dallas and the north. so a people always wonder where, where, where is that the safe place and where to go? many people have no places to go. i know literally people are leading into 3 or in their cars in the street. awesome, thank you very much. journalist husband pollution in gaza. meanwhile, at a summit in brussels, european union leaders have called for a pause in the finding between israel and homos to get desperately need today to civilians in gaza. the common declaration calls for the establishment of humanitarian corps doors, and pauses rather than to cease fire. the leader's head struggled to agree on the

statements. precise wording was here with the summit chairman and president of the european council shaw. michelle said after the agreement was reached the volume here we have certainly take a note of the serious deterioration of the humanitarian situation. and we need to develop a number of measures to ensure that there is access to equipment and to aid in this humanitarian crisis. and also what's cross out to the european council headquarters in brussels to speak with our correspond it badly, get better. what did it take for the european union leaders to find a common position on israel from us conflict it took in 5. i was actually to book on the text and to find the right, voiding to come up is pauses and to many terry cory doors a forgotten strip. but it is unclear, but that actually means pauses of these 30 minutes or

a date and to show and provide this humanitarian car doors. so it's mainly an exercise so that you itself to show some unity into paper over the differences between basically 2 can see at the bottom, the one side, germany and austria and others that the one support is without the condition smallest. and on the other side of spain, belgian island, let's say we have to have more emphasis on distributed terry and situation in gaza . at least to that is what you're telling me. she has the president of the summit said it's a sign of unity. will it have an impact on the ground? and that is very unlikely because he's right already said and kind of you to jurors, and it doesn't look much care about what the uses the politic hicks out is limited . but the you really for the pay for him and tearing 8 in gaza. interesting that is clear and delete as i was trying to find a way to, to free the hostages,

to get the hostages out. that how much is holding in gaza strip. and also for admission as many of them actually some of the use of 60 of the hostages, have german passports. now the, some of the leaders is continuing today. oh, what else are they dressing be on the crisis in the middle east? them well, that's the 2nd big, big crisis, the board of a russia against ukraine. and here the leaders are fighting about the financing of 84. you agreeing a 50000000000 euros and needed the next couple of years. and it's still not clear. we have to put them in the budget, the 8 route come eventually, that is what the leaders say, because they pledge over and over again to support ukraine as long as it takes. but the hungry, for example is blocking. and this budget talks and as well as a proposal to provide 20000000000 and is yours for a munition and weapons for ukraine out of the you budget. but this is also blocked

by ukraine. and also by slovakia know these degree she is the direct into until december, frank or bad for other. thank you very much. that was our corresponded beth lee good in brussels. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. tens of thousands of children in bolivia had been sent home from school due to their pollution caused by extensive wildfires. authorities say 2000000 hectares of land had been burnt. drought is led to lack of water hampering firefighting efforts. buyers are often started by farmers clearing weeds in grassland. in the us, a mess of searches underway for a gunman suspected of killing 18 people and wounding 13 more police search the home of a relative of the suspect. 2 isn't army reservist. the shootings happened at a bowling alley and

a bar in lewiston in the state of main. a truly state media says former chinese premier lee k chung has died at the age of 60. a. cause of the death was reported to be a heart attack. lee was china is number 2, leader for 10 years from 2013 to earlier this year. he was known as an advocate for private business, but was then largely side blinds by huge in ping. these become chinese, most powerful leaders in decades correspond to probably in customizing beijing. he told us more about lee cates young's legacy. yes, he was really an extraordinary politician. he was born into one of the poorest provinces in china and also born into a very turbulent time during his youth. he was sent to the countryside. um, actually like millions of other young chinese at the time to learn from peasants to do a physical labor. so actually by the time when most of the state found a died and thank you to both teeth in the country reopened and he was already quite

old. but then he started to study and he became a very brilliant academic. he um, just studied law and i'm calling to make the he was very interested in also some controversial topic was sensitive topics for example, the root of law. and he was known to be a very edit english learn. and some classmates even mentioned that he, the history was to continue his studies abroad, but then actually the potty secretary of his university step in and they wanted to keep him in the country to build them up as a future leader. and that's exactly what happened. and he had a very steep career before he was 50. he almost already had to have, has been running to provinces and he was known to be very pragmatic. um, economically you can call them every farmer and he was certainly very close to the people. and many people speculate that that he could be the future number one of china by the post the potty, to see the then went to seizing ping and he became the prime minister roughly 10

years ago. and especially in the last year was the sidelines. they were not many a public appearances from him anymore. so and you can say that a seating ping did not really um get except a strong number to next to him. as well as you say uh, lee was sideline under present, shooting pain has tried his government probably and pursued a different course from what lee stood for. well, definitely the, so a seating thing, a basically um stands for, uh, yeah, uh, a one person rule. also the potty made a big come back and also i do all the jeep and you could send was different. his ideas were more um, a pragmatic. he was a business oriented open minded. i wouldn't call him necessarily a liberal, but um, definitely he split for quite a different cost um a compact with a seats in pink. and that actually makes us that's also a sensitive mete. um, uh, because the people don't only mourn the loss of a life of a politician of a person, but also of the values that he stood for. i mean, it's easy to imagine that

a china under his would would have been quite different then a china whole china is developed now. so it is quite sensitive and you can see that the even um, on the, on the online platform, see a lot of postings has been sent. that is really highly hurry to the public opinion about his death. so i think it's that you can see it's very sensitive probably and thank you very much. that was drill is fabia and credit for invasion. frustration is growing in the mexican resort city of acapulco in surrounding areas over the slow government response to a depth stating hurricane. at least 27 people were killed when hurricane otis slammed into mexico's pacific coast after rapidly intensifying into a category 5 storm. much about compose, tourist infrastructure has been badly damaged. the buildings ripped apart by one of mexico's most powerful storms. hurricane ocean is toll through acapulco

leavings done survivors without shelter, food or clean water. it's a disaster. we're not saying help. we don't see any o, sorry seats. people don't know what to ask for. who to turn to with desperate. what are we going to do about i can pull co l homes. there's no electricity, no washington or seek? no. a relatives haven't heard from us and we haven't heard from them. from the officials say the rushing to bring in aid and to restore electricity and communications. but with the roads blocked by trees and mud. even mexico, as president struggled to get in force to switch cars and walk parts of the way on an official visit to the devastated area. now what matters most is food aid. because there are many families and small children.

some residents have tons to losing damage stores for the basic necessities while they wait for the aid. and there are also reports of crowds reading deserves is electronic stores. acapulco is in one of the poorest areas of mexico and the local economy is heavily reliant on tourism. but the damage from hurricane osha's will likely cost well into the billions of dollars and residents of worried it could take years to recover. turning to our top story now the war in the middle east and the repercussions is having around the world in the us, the conflict and is real and gaza has left jewish in palestinian american communities on edge experts or warning of a rise and anti semitism. and is level phobia demonstrations on both sides of the conflict have broken out across the country, especially on college campuses. the w, as in his pole,

has spoken to joyce and power standing americans in the capital washington. a note on verizon has never been this will read walking around campus at georgetown university. the past couple of weeks you seen protests which launched into hateful tyrants. he says he received threats of wine and himself, and the people tried to find his home address. we watch a video of a rally at the university of pennsylvania, but demonstrators can be heard calling for genocide against you. it's extremely unsettling to see the calls for genocide to see the calls for one state with no using it to see them walk right by. and right in front of jews on campus, it takes it to all, but you have to show up and you have to do what you have to do. otherwise they, when would nolan has done this co found a group of jewish law students who support is right in the group wants to take

a stand against what they describe as growing and just submitting an anti is really rather rich in the us. the fear is mounting them on the palestinian american community to chicago. this little boy was killed and then the alleged hate crime authorities said 6 year old idea. all for you me was a tag for be muslim. and the tensions over the conflict in the middle east lead to the killing beer ramadan. she now we worked as an educational consultant in the palestinian american community. she would only talk to us in the park that she fears her office may become a target to the 6 year old boy who was working in the chicago area from my home town house cause a lot of anxiety and a lot of here and parents who are making sure that their kids are being safe as well. my daughter and she text me from work and she was like, mom, i feel anxious. i don't know why. and we talked about it and it was about everything i was going on. and she said she feels paranoid about going out.

tensions in the us are so high that presidential biden has open outlets to address the issue with most without equivocation denounced. and i semitism, we must also, without equivocation denounced as lemme phobia. and all you heard, i hear you're heard, i want you to know. i see you belong. am it growing divisions? there are instances of jews and arabs coming together. this really was organized by jewish voice for peace. ok, that's critical of is really policy. and i need to say something i need to do something. we've been the victims of genocide before. and i can sit by and watch my people now do that to others. so hoping to be here and hoping collectively we can send a powerful message as a jew, it's important to me that my grease not be weaponized in this moment. it's a beautiful thing that there are so many jews because i think isn't very

appropriate representation of what it's like back all the people like us as well. it's not really about the religion at the end of the day. it's about humanity. it doesn't matter what you believe and it doesn't matter what you look like. it doesn't matter where you're from the you're watching dw news coming to live from berlin up. next we've got our globalization show global us for you. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching

the, the, the costs are always a shipping giant building a gigantic molten, true local residence. so wary of the chinese conglomerate some vicious project, which is causing by corruption and environmental destruction,

critical voices of being sensitive logo next on dw freedom, always been like the guiding lights for me, this is the one thing that i can not to be taller and twist neither could or not, the girl was at the telling of the french revolution. she demanded for women unbox everything. what does freedom mean in the 21st century project in life? in 45 minutes on the w, the symbol i read one on 6 times to greece is prover has to find life from 500 to 600. currently,

more people than ever on the move old hi and such you know, this is a very difficult journey and one is very hard. they beat you everything on your stuff. find out about some on stores in. so migrant reliable news for migrating the big promises. china is new mega ports on the coast of the sewing sales. but does globalization really benefit to everyone? the mountains of trash gone there is drowning and cheap
