a very large compound one. and so now it's the largest hospital in gaza, so they're still researching there. they started this res early on a wednesday morning and it's still continuing. now, house officials and the hospital has said that the situation is catastrophic. cause this is going on my patients and medical stuff and of course also a lot of internally displaced. people that have been seeking shelter. the are still in the compound that they're also running out of the, you know, the shortage is they're, they're running out of the medicine and supplies like other hospitals. also in the north that's we are hearing from the united nations and also other hospitals. i saying that injured people have difficulties to reach the hospitals of best and of course apple environment and intensive fighting as well and going on why the ground operation is going on. and. and on top of that, we also heard the defense minister,

us government saying tonight that they have a found is significant, significant findings, as he said, and a shift he didn't give any details on that. of course, it's also important for israel to show now uh, you know what defined as this a shift are hospitalized the center of interest. you mentioned that they said there's a come on send to underneath the lease. they claim there is a come on send to underneath the hospital and they also said that they are heading now into the next phase of the operation without giving further details. internally . we know it's hard to get details about what's going on right now in god's it because there is yet again, and communication blackout in the territory. right? absolutely, and there is another blackout we've seen that before. and this has been confirmed by the palestinian telecom company. paul tell also by joe was move by

provider. they said this that fuel has no run out to power the generators to keep the operations running. and this is of course, adding to the stress, you know, of people and to the already so difficult situation. we have an estimate of 1500000 people that are displaced in different areas. and of course, it's very difficult now to reach companies, you know, from the north, through the south, or in any part of cause and cities. so it's another major blackout as well. of course to get more information coming out of concepts before it's going to turn your paper with the leaves tonight from jerusalem. tanya, thank you. this is really government has confirmed the killing of a prominent peace activists in the october 7th terror attacks. but his family and friends, they're not demanding vengeance. instead, those who shared silver's vision of coexistence between israelis and palestinians, say, they hope to keep that vision

a lie shock and disbelief over the loss of a friend. and why, vivian? why ha, scotty, honey, i've seen a member of the in the face movement, funded by vision silver. long time is there any peace activist that's gone down by how much submitted tents in depth told by 7 attacks. all the furniture, somebody else gathered at a funeral to own her memories and to clasp each other in it was the woman who believed in peace. i saw she was a woman who in moments of despair would bring us back the hope. a woman who believed in this pulse believed in the importance of ending this twisted conflict. she believed that based on gauls underground gauze, and we all desire to live in peace alone. stephen was killed now home in this keyboards, by more than

a 100 people standing buried on october 7 shot rings of family homes, a mine of the horror that befell this community. now, the survivors returning to salvage what remains of the household. many of the residents of the keyboard say my wrong cause, i advocated for peace between these rates and palestinians. for great thing, spirit, the mourners at vivian's funeral, want to keep alive after the call. me have lain, we the ones alive will continue to shine per severe and strive to bring the tomorrow. you always spoke of that with your absence. so i fell in love again with the words piece, gender equality and fraternity. it was that not long ago resonated in the now, but not houses of berry keyboards. as guns is medical teams find to treat the thousands wounded by israel's military operation

. the need to prioritize has become a central and that means precious little care for those who are critically ill before october. 7th is we're about to see you back here waiting cancer. patients from jobs as hospitals poses considerable risk. but in the current climate, there is almost no alternative families wait for oh is it causes southern rough on crossing hoping to get to see till the next boston to egypt. foreigners and palestinian jewel nationals are permitted to leave cause a and now some causing cancer. patients being offered an opportunity to travel to tacky for treatment, but the process is not straightforward for everyone. done. got doing energy less than 5 being left with a treatment for over a month. so i do not. doctors provided me with

a document to travel to cherokee to take nearly one injection and return to gas as the hospital doesn't have the injection. when i arrived at the crossing, i was told that my name is not on the list and i may return tomorrow, or they'll call me i opened up the idea of the hand and the 2 planes carrying cancer patients non did an incorrect from egypt following negotiations between the top cushion detection of thor t's, egypt has also accepted a limited amount of medical of curious causes remaining hospitals of running out of medical supplies and few. here in john eunice, they have to treat patients by torch light. the most doctors now have to prioritize emergency cat is a patients with other health conditions,

but evacuating patients is not an easy process. the world health organization says the options are limited to evacuate. patients from causes largest hospital. oh, she fucked and goes to city. following a raid on the hospital by as rarely, minute tree organizing medical evacuation, such as this in such an insecure setting is very, very complicated. firstly, you need to secure a security guarantees on site passage for any convoy. negotiations with the is around the defense forces of being managed, true of the un office and stuff, and my child does not to the direct negotiation on those issues. so the office for coordination, if you met a chart with systems managers, that element of, of the evaluation process. then you, we have to prioritize the patients who it would be moved 1st. and so we'd be looking at the most critical yield. and again,

thought as in the united evacuating patients from causes hospitals. post is considerable risks, but staying put could be the more life threatening alternative us. there's hope of the improved relations between the worlds to economic superpowers following talks between us president joe biden, and china as president. she should be at the summit of asia pacific nations held in california. both leaders said that they would like to see better ties. the meeting was carefully choreographed and scripted except for the comment from a very blunt, by the words to most powerful men meeting face to face for the 1st time in over a year. despite the genteel background, this was a high stakes summit aimed at improving difficult relations between the us and china. i value our conversation because i think is perma. so you want to

understand each other clearly, leader to leader with no misconceptions or miscommunication. we have to ensure that competition does not guarantee the conflict. plenty task is big enough for our 2 countries to succeed. and one countries, success is an opportunity for the other. the of the full hours of tubes. the 2 was sent to have taken positive steps forward in front of the president, bob and howard going, including a decision to restock military communications were re assuming military to military contact, direct contacts as to why the press no follow this. that's been cut off has been were worse, and that's how accidents happen. misunderstandings, so we're back to direct open, clear, direct communications on the right of a direct basis. they also discussed controversial subjects like taiwan. but it

was biden's response to a question about whether he would still refer to she as a dictator. the raised eyebrows that didn't land well with beijing, which after dinner off to the tulips president, she was keen to focus on the 2 superpowers working together into frugal youth. home. china is willing to be a partner and friend with the united states. you well, i'm at 40, i will send a mental principles in handling chinese us relations, mutual respect, so peaceful coexistence looking well and when, when cooperation, let's talk on the fact that she and by didn't match a tone is being held to success with

a relations between china and the us actually improve will be down to them. all right, so more now i'm joined by alan carlson. he's an associate professor and government at cornell university. this charles and it's good to have you with this. the u. s. president. mr. by he went into this meeting, demand strain ties with china. how far did you get he went away so i think both sides moved in that direction. but the thought to the matter is the fundamental underlying differences between the 2 countries. and so it's not just that he use the term dictate or something you said before, but the domestic responses here to the overtures he's made. and if you look at the chinese media to, there's been a little bit of push back to the more peaceful language which she used while he was in the united states. but let me just pick up on what he did say he did, you know, said he is a dictator. and i mean, that is the truth. it's certainly not a democratically elected leader,

but that may not have been the most diplomatic thing to say. do you think that that damaged any progress that was made earlier in those face to face meetings? i don't think so. i mean, we know the president fight and there's not a word stuff. and so sometimes this choice of words is a little bit off that happens to all of us all the time. and the definition of a dictator is also something which people in my profession today at all the time. it's not like we agree because the main thing is that she is a different type of leader than his predecessor. so media proud assessors in china, but he's also nowhere near the kind of prototypical dictators of the past. people like malware style. and so i think button's trying to point that out and you know, maybe god as larnes flopped a little bit but not happens to all of us all the time. and i think it's going to cause a problem with china. and so they did agreed to re establish a direct communications on a military level. what about tensions over taiwan?

did you see any progress made over that? i looked, i know there's very little room for progress. i think it does. the 2 sides can agree to disagree. fundamentally they see the status of the taiwan differently. so what does happen is i think the temperature has been dial down to the, but there's always things moving forward in congress, in terms of supporting of taiwan. and there are always measures which china is taking to demonstrate it's resolved to bring what they see is there twitter, tory doc under that governance. and so this is a perennial issue. it's been there when next and not my will be there or whoever comes next. it's, it's not doing what the us says, it doesn't want to do couple into calling me from china. but it does want to do risk the relationship considering that. and the fact that china is not boasting economic growth that it was used to for several decades with china going into these talks in

a week or position. i think it's more the leadership of both countries. a baby come to the realization that we need each other, even if we don't like each other that well, i think it's 2 fault. one is the security situation around the globe right now is incredibly precarious and not wanting to throw another log on that fire escalating conflict between her and the global economy is also french island. i thought, cuz that's not going to benefit anyone. and so i think the image, the optics of cooperation are important and try to reassure the global population and reassure markets. the dark things are, are ok, professor alan carlson. joining us tonight from corner university professor, we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you. my pleasure. so let's take a look now some of the other stories that are making headlines this our finland has announced that it will close for crossing points on its eastern border with russia

to stop an inflow of asylum seekers. the border crossing points will close at midnight on friday nights, officials say to the decision, is it response to claims that russia is allowing a search of people without proper documents to reach the border german authorities and carried out a series of raids on organizations with respected links to hezbollah, $54.00 rates were carried out nationwide, overnight, most were connected to an organization called the hamburg. as long as the center center is suspected of supporting hezbollah as well. it is considered a terror organization by the german government, spain. parliament has voted for acting wrong minister pedro sanchez to form a new government. his narrow when comes after signing a controversial deal with 2 catalog from independence parties. the deal granted an estate to hundreds of separatists in exchange for the parties support informing a new government. the u. k. is new for administer. david cameron has travel to cuba

on a surprise visit. now this is the former prime ministers, 1st 4 and visits in his new role. ukrainian president for them is landscape says that he's grateful for britain support at a time when the conflict in gaza is drawing attention away from ukraine. turkey is president, richard. try a better one, begins a visit to germany on friday at mid heated discussion here about they're the ones that strong criticism of israel. and the one says that he has broken all contacts with is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu because of israel's quote massacres in the gaza strip. they are the ones opinions, run in sharp contrast to those of the german government who despite these obvious tensions want to talk to the turkish liter, a few foreign leaders couldn't be less welcoming germany right now than turkey's president. red chip tie up at one has described

a mass as freedom fighters and opened the question is why it was right to exist. while western nations continue to stress is males, right? to defend itself in response to the october the 7th terror attacks carried out by how much had won the keys east, the west of double standards using rhetoric. some say cross is a line. i'm really kind of the candidate, the is really government with the unlimited support of the us and west and countries has been continuing its mass because for 40 days in a row. and i say with a clear heart that israel is a terrorist state, sky and been to the village at one accuses the west of being weak in the face of civilian deaths and the gaza strip. and yet, but late wants to talk the thoughts, it's important to us don't the conflict from spreading. and turkey, of course, plays a role in this. we need to talk to each other. but the question is, how clear uh,

woods will be used for chancellor olaf shows balancing gym and is national interest with criticism of ad one will be a test of his diplomatic skill tucked his president is under pressure at home about his country's economic problems. but on the international stage, one knows he's an important player, especially in the current crises. to key is a vital partner for germany and nato, and the channel to most go on grading shipments out of ukraine. it can be a power broker in the middle east and is given refuge to move into 3000000 migrants, many of whom may otherwise travel to europe. so president at a one, there's another big reason to come to germany. some 1500000 tech is citizens live here, more than 2 thirds of them help re elect at one last may. and correct also connects with people in germany through an estimated 1000 marks located here. but run by the tech is states religious authority. but many politicians say that gives turkey too

much influence, and it's time to pull the plug that with this $1.00 i have to, i believe that we cannot continue to allow to key to operate what's easy an effect . it's a political um, here in germany and closet position filling up. now there are close ties, but also deep divisions, and the relationship between turkey and germany edwin's visit. we'll see olaf schultz woke up political type wrote between principles and dependencies, and it will test both lead his willingness to deescalate the conflict in the middle east. part of the spring in our political correspondence, i mean young. so i'm going to see you. everyone have said that western countries of that includes germany are assisting, is really carrying out massacres in gauze. does that mean? that is one way to scare away the welcome wagon, if you will, yet are the one who writes here in germany tomorrow. and people watching this story may ask, well why didn't germany just uninviting air to want?

or yeah, brent and a number of politicians here but lane has the have said that this visit should be postponed. they say that it doesn't sound the rule right? message to be rolling out the red carpet for this very controversial leader at this time. president ad one, as you've mentioned, has made a load of controversial statements saying that a mass is not a general organization that freedom fighters and cooling israel, a tara stage and will criminals. so uh, you know, some gym and politicians have even gone so far as to describe to me as an anti semite. and there's clearly going to be a lot of challenges and difficult uh type right walking for all of sholtes. uh, on friday when ad one is here, but i think there is, as you saw in that report, quite a lot of mutual dependencies on both sides. there's a lot of things for them to talk about. and i think that's why the government's going ahead. so considering that, and so i mean,

what are we about to witness tomorrow? how will german leaders handle this visit? yeah, i think it'll be a normal kind of visit to base these like perhaps in time rather than a super friendly visit to the gym and the president adults with the chancellor. i see the police operation by the way, because of the and the expectation that they'll be big demonstrations against the president. at one code his demonstration has been announced and that may be others . so i think you'll see that normal kind of seems when these lead is meet. i don't forget these are 2 native partners, germany and turkey. and there's quite a bit to talk about there as well. germany would like turkey to remove its all position to sweden joining nato, so that could be on the agenda. also talk he wants to buy europe and fight to jets . germany's opposed to that deal at the moment. so there's quite a lot of other things other than the israel goals and situation for them to talk

about. yeah. but let me just stick with these comments for a 2nd. i mean, okay, everyone will be here in germany tomorrow. that presents an opportunity. some would say for the german chancellor to push back on those not so flattering comments that he has made will transfer shoals. do you think he's going to do that? i think he will, to an extent that's certainly what positions from across the political spectrum are expecting him to do. and he himself is setting the pos that he will always defend. israel is right. what to speak up for as well as right to defend itself. one other thing quickly to say breton who is in paul a domestic issue and one has considerable influence with many uh, people living here who are of turkish origin and they're off is but you know, if you support some us that good for the polarizing already polarized the base around the situation in the middle east here on the piece of germany and surely the german government must speak against black. yeah,

exactly. and we know what he had said about tomas, that is for sure. so i mean, you're here in berlin, so i mean, thank you as the sports needs now in tennis world, number 3, tell them it did. yes. beat germany's alexander they have in straight sets to reach the semi finals at the finals tournament, entering in a scrapping mat, rushes mid bed. save to set points in the 1st set, tie break, and then snatched one break. in the 2nd set to secure a 7664 winded cease and moved to the top of his group. is that of must when his last round robin match against the world. number 5. andre, we'd love to have the chance to qualify for this. in my thoughts, are you watching? dw, this is a reminder of our top stories. israel says that it has found the body of one of the hostages, abducted by how mos on october 7th,

near jones's el cheapo hospitals. israel's military said that they have discovered weapons and other evidence that him austin had been using the hospital as a command center. and he was president j. barden has held what he called real progress and towards the chinese leader. she's in pink and california both said they want to improve relations despite lingering tensions. corporate issues including taiwan. this is the w news. after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day stick around with will be right back
