a switch dw signs on need picked up channels. the . this is the w news live from the in the head of the militants group. hamas says it is close to a deal with israel. that will see a pause in the slicing. i'm the friend of hostages. families of is rainy is captured by hamas on the outside, but the substance of pushing prussia on the is raining low cabinets to put the sites of their loved ones. first will say, coming up germany's foreign minister. i'm in a bad bulk project schools for c. spell it and gaza, saying that this would leave israel, unable to defend itself. again,

come on. germany's defense minister makes an unexpected visit to teams in a show of support for ukraine fights. the gates prussia meets with the officials, the to discuss the lessons of shipments and kevin training of the training, plus a rescue seen in india, and makes contacts with trump construction watkins. the rescue is send a camera through a pipeline as well as hot meals for the 41 man who's been stranded now. the 10 full days the menu is mckinnon. welcome to the program, israel and the palestinian millicent group. hamas appeared to be on the verge of an agreement to release some of the hostages held in gauze. and now quoting to

a statement cited by several news agencies, bahamas leda, is my knee, said negotiate says was close to reaching a deal. the agreement with see a swath of palestinian prisoners held in his randy jails in exchange for hamas assessing pre a significant number of the hostages. but they abducted from israel on october. the 7th, a temporary truce of several days is reportedly pos of the deal, which would additionally allow the entry of humanitarian aid into the gaza strip. now as negotiations move forward, several families of his randy hostages, have voiced the concern that the countries will cabinet, is not doing enough to bring the loved ones home. the relatives match with his randy. little may cuz to of the not to pursue a bill that would enable the death penalty for captured palestinian militants. the frustration boiling over there under is directed towards

far like members of the connected national security committee. the families of the hostages at dr. bye home us out of games to propose low endorsed by subcommittee members. the draft built in the prospect it been his be for dentists. but the family's believe even that the beat around the bill could jeopardize the lives of their loved ones. we built on, can you look at the off him but not as an outside to look at as if she's your sister to as if he's you're trying to sort of mushroom your grandchild. would you risk anything that could now harm his life when he's back? prosecute them, reese this discussion again, but he's not here. and because of this, he may never have done gloves that close to millions all far right. members of his strange government see defended the at the detective's conception. i think there's a death penalty is required. so such events as we saw don't happen. another

massacre or should i not the disaster? oh, that's the document. the family's not buying. maybe you should stop talking about killing arabs and stop talking about saving jews. don't talk to me about killing arabs because it was us who was getting killed by them. not the other way around. that they have done with emotions running high, many is drawing these. i losing their patients, they have been regularly protesting, asking the government to do more as far as i am concerned, and i represent myself in my family. this is incredibly disappointing because i feel that at this point, when we know that taking them from us we keep hearing from them is going to take months or years. and it's going to take a long time. on the other hand,

the other objective is time sensitive. people are dying. hostage, d between is trailyn moss appears to be in the works. and many here don't want to risk anything. now that does it don't or for at least some of the objectives could be just around the corner. let's get more from dw correspondent rebecca versus who is in jerusalem. hi rebecca, how likely is it this deal will actually happen? and when might happen unfortunately on there, it's still too early, or it's almost impossible to predict these questions. we have seen deals get close in the past. we've been seeing these negotiations take place since almost the beginning, and we haven't moments had good clear signals that we thought the deals were going to happen. and for various reasons they have fallen through. this is of course, the closest, it seems, the closest old side pretty much agreeing as far as from what we're hearing.

perhaps israel still the final light, positive piece of the puzzle when it comes to agreeing to this deal. so it really is just a little bit too soon. still, it could happen at any moment as we've so as the other hostage do uh, deals of negotiations with the release of the other hostages earlier in this will also came as a, as a quite surprised when they happened. it was sort of these, these things happen very quickly and then suddenly we should see that happening. i think if it's going to happen, we will be seeing that we've in the next 72 hours. but as i say, it's just too soon or impossible to know whether or not they still actually come to fruition. rebecca, can you tell us more about the visibly deteriorating relations between the families of the hostages and these randy government? or you had a little bit there in the report yesterday there was a that connect that meeting. it got very, very tens of very vocal, very personal. and people very,

very angry at the government. the families in particular at how the handling this hostage situation may feel that they've not putting the lives of their loved ones above and beyond their, all the military and which is a close to eliminate him off every political and military capabilities in that we saw yesterday there was a meeting with the families of a hostages or some of the families of some of the hostages and benjamin netanyahu. now that was through the, in the pipeline for some time, it finally took place and it was a delay because there wasn't enough space in the auditorium that the prime minister's office had organized for this meeting. and some people were forced to wait outside these just further angry and you know, they feel that they're not being taken seriously. that they please about the time constraints about, about the measures being made. and of course, this thing about the death penalty that they saying that this is not going to pressure how much this is more likely to make how most angry to make, how much you to take decisions that would endanger their relative. so we're seeing

a lot of pressure on the government from the families they've been holding rallies . they've been holding much is protest. uh they're trying to, to really make their voices heard when you walk around pretty much everywhere in israel jerusalem, tel aviv other cities. you see signs there are signs of everywhere saying bring them home and you see the faces of the people that are being held hostage, the names their ages. and there's a huge campaign here. it's taking a nation completely new to the to heart. i mean, i can't tell you how shocked and russel's is riley is about what's happened, what's happening, and particularly about the hostage situation. they say it is the most important part of the operation, whilst there is, of course, a lot of backing up with the, with the government, other operation which is to eliminate from us but, but not, not at the cost of these hostages. it is rebecca,

which is in jerusalem. thanks so much for a gemini, is foreign minister and a babel cuz said that a ceasefire in the middle east would prevent israel from defending itself. speaking to d, w, babble defended germany's refusal, tobacco c spot and gaza instead. belin says it backs humanitarian pauses that would allow for age to get into gaza fuel for his house. that criticism of germany supports the israel cooling. it's extremely disturbing that germany's foreign minister has a message for the arab world, taking a break from international diplomacy on a line up apple joint deed of use arabic show jeff, i talk for an interview on the war in the middle east. flashed on the agenda. y gemini, i saw fall, refused to box cease firing, garza and that's what of a diagnoses. that would mean israel would no longer be able to defend itself,

submit the ongoing barrows or missiles. so for me, every day and last night said that it wants to wife as well, of the money. that's what it means they want to annoy. they say as well. and in such a situation, israel has to protect his population lies. at the same time i am, we are working with our international partners with the americans, but also with many hours countries to do everything possible to ensure the people in goals that have safe places where they wouldn't be killed, where they can access clean drinking water and medication to in visits over the past month. government officials have repeatedly emphasized their support for res, real st. german history means it has a unique responsibility to the country. about critics in the arab world. see, gentlemen, these guilt means it's afraid to call a potential war crimes miss. if it's the time, very irritated by those people. because to me, it sounds like the complete run of defines ation of genocide, west crime as well as seeing replacing these of these, of

a given hot my country the not my raise. human gemini is responsible for the depth of $6000000.00 jewish men and women. the death of hundreds of thousands of europeans in your okay, we have committed ourselves as an international community and that sort of international law was built on internet so that the less than we learned from the horrors of world war 2 followed the said, you need all season for spot and slicing. victory. turning to the future of the conflict bare bulk said it was likely that's a peacekeeping. presence of search would be needed to protect civilians in the long term. but you would not be drawn on where those troops would come from. you just go in order to ensure security, we need international responsibility on what we've learned this from the terrible was in europe, is western vulcans, the, to the international community assumed a responsibility to protect them. there was also a situation where the west crimes being committed of an act as in the region had simply loss to trust. and today i see the same thing that only happens definitely

thought out. the question is which countries can come on the trust of both the palestinian and this really people nothing more is the w's political correspondent, must be germany, has a face criticism for not supporting a ceasefire. tell us more about how the, the foreign minister just decide this position that's right on the ceasefire was always going to be the focal point of this interview after germany. epstein interval calling for a ceasefire at the united nations security council last month. it did so sites and concerns that the resolution was not critical enough, didn't condemn hamas, and off put simply on the bulk says how must cannot be trusted to hold up its end of a ceasefire. but she described this as a dilemma for western actors at one point chief through the hands of today and said, it's not simply a case of politicians think stop this. so instead germany is working on,

she monitoring pauses to allow for a to reach those people and guys who are desperately in need and also for hostages to be released. this could be hours or even days and i was struck the she repeatedly throughout the interview salt to express our sympathy for the innocent victims on both sides of this conflict. she said the suffering of palestinians kept her awake at night as much as the plight of his really mothers whose children were kidnapped by him off terrorist on october 7th. as she also responded to the criticism from the middle east that germany's ignoring the suffering of palestinians in gauze that because of germany's responsibility towards israel, of the, the holocaust. can you tell us more about her reaction to that? yeah, this is a criticism that we've heard of over the past month. i'm over and over the last week, just last week. the talk is present relative type ad. one was invalid and he said that during a press conference with the chancellor here that the japanese history,

the holocaust, the crimes of a holocaust meant that germany was not able to, not free to tell the truth. simply, he was implying that gemini is ignoring rights abuses, bought, pushed back very hard against this. this was in the part of the interview where she became most animated and most impassioned to she said the criticising gemini for his past is relative izing the cranes of the holocaust. and she was extremely to start by the accusation. she said for her there was no contradiction between standing up for him as we have a right to exist on defending human rights. what about the timing of this interview? why did the gen 4 administer choose to do this interview? now a this is a form of the default, ok on going to well as arabic tunnel, which has a huge client in the region and on social media. and so it was clearly an attempt to engage with the arabic speaking audiences and to explain jeremy's position on this conflict. and obviously it was also the 1st time since the conflict as we

ignited would have seen, a senior german minister, our politician, scrutinized them this week. it was 36 minutes interview. normally such interviews like this might be 10 or 15 minutes. and i think i know in a bad walk in the foreign ministry, knew that not would be the case, but there was, there was really no attempt to back track on their position. if anything, it was defiance setting out geometries. position on the ceasefire. the lessons of a holocaust also showing and expressing the concern for the suffering of palestinians as well as his readings and the region they told me is political correspondent, nakeema. thanks so much. my or germany is defense minister doris. the story is made a surprise visit to keith, to underline buttons support for ukraine in his fights against the russian invasion . this story is attended a re playing sermon a nit keeps my done square to commemorate those who delight in pro democracy protests that nearly a decade ago. he set to hold talks with his ukrainian counts of thoughts,

as well as with the present. below them is the lensky. they're expected to discuss . jim, these military support, and the training of ukrainian soldiers. we have to change the mindset now to now and 10 slicing has been raging on the ground in ukraine between russian and ukrainian forces. keeps that on sunday that it had pushed the russians back from the new pro river in the south of the country. that's the 1st major advance in months. russian forces, meanwhile, have been pounding the city of, of 50 in the east. taking heavy losses, bought, reportedly moving forwards. russia occupies about one 6th of ukraine's territory, the w as much as buying a travel to the front line in the east weather. ukrainian military is adapting its strategy to protect valuable artillery against the russian drones. hidden in the bushes somewhere above more section of the front line. since the ukraine mammal, artillery crew, one and a half years into the war,

the tactics have changed. of the initial implants, the wallet, therefore, we're used to be very low miles to we would drive out to the position, shoot, and then drive off, obtain new target service and drive to a different position. we've now we do everything from a hidden position. so that's how it works. so that's why the reason is sometimes that in their jones, permanently hovering over the front lines, a temporary pieces of valuable target. so both sides, so incoming fire can be freed rather than driving around and open roads artillery units. now try to hide their equipment, the cage of why i mission office, sun protection, because the drones exploded against the mesh rather than the equipment this so

proposed how is that has been in service for several decades. associate's name, the rest of the re off to flowers. this 122, many me to repeat. this call is a combination of the white move wisdom. artillery has had a huge impact on the, from the soviet era, how it says to payroll or them to come schedule. so probably it with a bit of humor. we can buy spare parts for this equipment at any car repair shop or used to the wisdom before, but if nato equipment gets out of order for 3 months, we'll have to call the repair specialist. press the ring very special tools. finally, get some instruments. i'm the true of phase the guardian and so for target and quickly gets read the

full after shooting. they need to leave the vehicle every shot, fired from this position, increase the probability of being detected. yeah, i think as a whole lot there is the widespread assumption, but they are idiots. so that is not at all the case. and so they also know how to fight and they know what they're doing is nice on all the they involve and learn. and so do we occasions closed again and even from jones with the conversation we experience next task. so i'm a to you is that grow most service the military and the less than senior electra in the department of wool studies at kings college loans. and thanks so much for joining us, thomas here. uh, what would you say is the biggest concern for the trainings at this point to i think the overall is the big concern is that russia,

as pointed out in your previous section, has very much improved it. small finding capacity to has adopted. it has very sophisticated electronic, well for capabilities german capabilities. it has also ramped up. is it said drone production? it has a high number of artillery features it has received, it will be receiving. in addition, i looked in the rate from, for example, north korea. we know, of course, drones and they started from iran. so russia overall has in a way and bigger capacity to produce weapon rate has placed its economy on a war footing. it has rum tactics, military production, in a way that has, as we know, the neighbor tool to a certain extent bypass the sanctions. and it also has a much bigger pool of main. so our ukraine needs store in a way accountable lenses with more sophisticated technology. now there's,

we think chris specifically on the package seen as well as highlighted. there is a problem with the acquisition of all for it's very hard to maneuver for the ukrainians and to advance because there is um, are tags to drones. it's very easy to have a vision of the doctor to see also that the russians are really saturated. the front lines as defensive lines, with mines and on the very, very effective defensive structures. and that has made it much harder for ukrainians to our phones and also our last, but not least, do you know that russian has stated have until a certain extent, security with the cup oxygen. it does not add domain names, but it still allows the russians to operate sometimes even from their territory without risking losing their own ad crossed. there's also a recent piano to talk about their a helicopter cup, a city. so i think the ukrainians have difficulties which could be some wanted but

uh the situation is, is quite complex at the moment. you mentioned, you know, the rusher is getting equipment from iran, from north korea. and you know, ukraine needs weston, helped deliver battle field progress. but it also needs bustle field progress to convince weston help does so does it still have as much international support as it needs? so i think that um, that support is not as strong as we would have wished on us. we would have expected and especially the concern is um in the united states, where the bye didn't administration was asking for an edition on i think it was $24000000.00 of military a to ukraine number was not positive. it was voted down to 6000000000 and it still has not been approved by congress. in germany, for example, there is a big debate around whether handing in, uh, the, the taurus and the size,

which could be really helpful for ukraine. so there are issues there, but i think that overall in europe also the rate support for ukraine and i think that they shouldn't continue. and it wouldn't take time to rebate a more effectively that you are up in arms industry. but i don't think that this would be a completely sort of left us side. i think that support for ukraine when continue on ukrainians themselves. are also aware that they, we need to start a ramping up production also locally, which has a lot of challenges because the production inside ukraine can be destroyed also by russians. but i think your opinions are aware that they might not have to be able to rely so much in the united states. so i think that in certain countries that raise on understanding for something that you pay that and um, the, the, you know, they need to provide the necessary equipment if possible, and to ukraine pharmacy, a secretary, so from king's college,

yolanda and thank you so much for your analysis. thank you. now indian rescue is all bustling to free for the one man who's been trapped in a row tunnel for 10 days. a portion of the roadway in the northern himalayan states has a, tara con, collapsed on november. the 12th. the area is vulnerable to land slides and rescue funds have been complicated by folding debris and equipment insanely as a rescue, as have now managed to establish communication with the wall. cuz are you ok? show yourselves to the camera. raise your hands and smile. we will reach you all soon. don't worry. the 41 minute our lives. these are the 1st images of the trip work is that the outside world has seen before the it's our 1st breakthrough, which we've been trying to achieve for the past 9 days,

a disappointment. it was as though she wanted to remain mysterious, fearsome, strong, sometimes threatening, sometimes of charming. but i couldn't see behind her match to the red princess stops november 25th on dw the there emblems of a clean or future. but how environmentally friendly our solar panels, the wind turbine and electric cars, really? if there's one thing, the green transition will demand above all else. it's raw materials, lots of them. but extracting resources is a dirty business, which is white plans for new mines run into fierce resistance in many places. europe wants to start sourcing many key metals and minerals from scandinavia, but is mining in norway really cleaner and what are the alternatives? these other.
