the, the, this is the, the news live from the in the head of the militant group, hama says it is close to a deal with israel. that will see a pause in slicing on the friend of hostages. families of his writings captured by from mounts on october. the 7th. i'm putting pressure on these rainy ball cabinets to put the face of their loved ones, but also coming up germany's defense minister and makes an unexpected visit to keith and to show support for ukraine's flight. to the game, russia he meets with officials. let's discuss lessons shipments and german training that he pregnant the

menu. mckinnon. welcome to the program, israel and the palestinian militant group. hamas appeared to be on the verge of an agreement to release some of the hostages held in garza, according to a statement cited by several news agencies. the some of the lead to is maya honey said negotiate as well close to reaching a deal. the agreement with see a swath of palestinian prisoners held in is really jailed in exchange for homage assessing free a significant number of the hostages. they abducted from israel on october. the 7th, a temporary truce of several days is reportedly parts of the deal, which would additionally allow the entry of humanitarian aid into the gaza strip. as negotiations moved forward, several families of his railey hostages,

have voice concerned that the countries will cabinet is not doing enough to bring their loved ones home. the relatives met with his really little make his to judge them not to pursue a bill that would in a enable the death penalty for capture the palestinian militants. the high frustration boiling over their anger is directed towards far as a member of the can. if it's national security committee, the families of the hostages, abducted by hum us out against the proposal, endorsed by some committee members. the draft been in the bus that they've been in the for tentative. but the families believe even that to pay it around the bill could jeopardize the lives of their loved ones. the old on can you look at us, but not just an outside to look into us as if she is your sister as if he is your child? he'll grandchild. would you risk anything that could now home his life? well, behind shall when he is back. prosecute them raised this discussion again. but he

is not here because of this. he may never return. maybe gloves that close to a 1000000 single father, right. members, the 5th strays guffman, see the deck, but a due diligence prescription. i think there's a death penalty is required. so such events as we saw don't happen. another massacre or another disaster or that sort of an argument from these are not buying . maybe you should stop talking about killing arabs and stop talking about saving jews. no, don't tell me about how we want to kill arrows because it was us who was getting killed by them. not the other way around. the time with emotions running high, many is riley's losing the patients. they have been regularly protesting, asking the government to do more. 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. a hostage d between is dryden, him, us, appears to be in the works. and many here, don't want to risk anything. now that to do to enough, at least from the object, these would be just around the corner inspection dw, use rebecca versus in jerusalem earlier. and i also how likely it is and how soon this deal could actually happen are, 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 full improve. 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 puzzle 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 this, these things happen very quickly and then suddenly we should say 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. and that was the w. as rebecca richard, speaking to me earlier from jerusalem. now giovanni's foreign minister in atlanta babbled cosette that a ceasefire in the middle east would prevent israel from defending itself. speaking

to dw babbled, defend the germany's refusal to the back a ceasefire and gaza instead. but in says it backs humanitarian pauses. so that would allow for age to get into gaza. she also his house that criticism of germany support for israel cooling at extremely disturbing. and germany's for administer has a message for the arab world. taking a break from international diplomacy. i know in a bad thought, joined deed abuse, arabic show jeff. i talked for an in depth interview on the war in the middle east . first on the agenda. y gemini, has so far, refused to buck a ceasefire in gaza. and that's what it would do. i'd like to use 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 it said that it wants to wipe his way out of the man. 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 and in visits over the past month, german officials have repeatedly emphasized their support for israel, saying german history means it has a unique responsibility to the country. about critics in the arab world, see jeremy's guilt means it's afraid to call a potential war crimes. miss if it's 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 that by synergies of this, of a given hard my country, the not my raise. human gemini is responsible for the death 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's what international lawyers built on. i think that's the lesson we learned from the horrors of world war 2 ball with, as i said, you need obviously some force brought in slides and basically 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. 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. it was also a situation where the west crimes being committed upstairs and actors in the region had simply lost to trust in today. and i see the same thing that only happens definitely thought out. the question is which countries can come on the trust of both the palestinians and this really people let's take

a look now at some of the other stories making news. today in spain's padre sanchez and his cabinets have been sworn into a government liking for the say at a ceremony in madrid. sanchez flints to know the tub, his prime minister, last week of to several. some of the policies backs him and upon them entry vote. in exchange for on seeing several cas salon surfaces, amnesty and that move has spelt widespread protest from spain. the united states navy plain over shot a runway in hawaii on monday, leaving the pro, stranded in of a military official say, all 9 people on board didn't make it safely to show on what on home by the accident us marine for has not yet commented on the cause of the crush germany is defense minister boris. the story is made a surprise visit to keith, to underline butler and support for ukraine and its fights against russia's invasion. the story is attended, a replaying ceremony achieves my down square to commemorate those who died and pro

democracy protests that began a decade ago. he set the whole tops with his ukrainian counts thoughts, as well as with president reloaded mister lensky. they're expected to discuss germany's military support and the training. if he training soldiers, we have to change the speaking of the reflecting ceremony, the story is set the might on protests again and 20. so i see a still of major relevance today. we do the greatest people of all ages took to the streets to demand freedom and closer ties with europe and they paid for it with their lives, which is today. most ukrainians are fighting for the freedom once again. they've been fighting for almost one year and 9 months against a foreign invader. i'm here again, 1st of all until pledge further support, but also to express ourselves the during the fall and it also or admiration for the courageous brave and costly fight that's being waged here. first,

i can come to his own tents. slicing has been raging on the ground, the new crane between russian and ukrainian forces keeps that on sunday. it had pushed the russians back from the neat pro river in the south of the country. it was the 1st major advance and months. russian forces. meanwhile, had been pounding the city of updates in the east taking heavy losses bought, reportedly moving forward. russia occupies about one 6th of ukraine's territory. dw is matea spelling of travel to the front line and the east, where the crating military is adapting its strategy to protect valuable artillery against russian drugs. 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. and you shall pass the wallet before we're used to be very low miles to we would drive out to the position. shoot, then drive off,

obtain new targets and drive to a different position. now we do everything from a hidden position of each. i thought that's how it works. this is why the reason is sometimes that i didn't, the jones permanently hovering over the front lines, a temporary pieces of valuable target to both sides. so incoming fire can be free rather than driving around and open roads, artillery units. now try to hide their equipment, a cage of way, a mission office, some protection, because the drones exploded against the mesh rather than the equipment this stuff proposed how it so it has been in service for several decades. the soviets name the rest of the re off to flowers. this 122, many me to, to repeat this call is

a combination way more wisdom. artillery has had a huge impact on the from the soviet era, how it says to payroll or them to come schedule. so met with a bit of humor. we can buy spare parts for this equipment at any car repair shop or used to the listing before. but if nato equipment gets out of order, we'll have to call the repair specialist for us to bring very special tools. means to mind some of the crew of phase the guardian and so for target and quickly gets read the full of the after shooting, they need to leave the vehicle. every shot fired from this position, increases the probability of being detected. yeah, i think as

a whole lot there is the widespread assumption that they are idiots. so that is not at all the case and they also know how to fight. they know what they're doing is nice on the they evolve and learn. and so do we on the cages closed again and even from jones, with the coordination waste for its next task. what team dw, and use his reminder, a top story today. the head of the militant for hama says it's close to a temporary truce with the israel. the 2 sides have been negotiating a deal that would exchange palestinian prisoners for is really hostages captured by come us in the october the 7th terror attacks. and here's what's coming up next on dw, and use asia for he won indian work has remained trapped in a himalayan. but now they have

a lifeline as rescue as race to get the mouse. and can china play a role in securing a ceasefire in gaza? why arab nations are turning to beijing a hell? ellis chan. we'll have those stories, animals for you after a short break, and then you can switch them. thanks so much for watching dw, the can you hear me? we are all set. we are watching close to the to bring you the story behind the new we own about unbiased information for free might do to name done.
