the i'm sarah kelly walked into the program. we begin in the southern gaza strip, where residents had been describing what they called the worst is really bombardment. since the start of the invasion, israel's military is seeking to destroy a loss which many countries classify as a terrorist organization strikes and the city of con eunice began over night from land sea and air is really tanks have moved towards 2 hospitals near the city cutting many people off from treatment gases, health ministry, which is run by him aust says that at least 50 palestinians have been killed and over $100.00 wounded. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has again rejected demands for a 2 state solution with the palestinians. and dw special correspondent,

a abraham is in jerusalem, where she had the latest on what we know about as really tanks blocking access to hospitals in casa, the information is still very thin, but nevertheless, very disturbing. what we know, and that's according to the reuters news agency that too is really tanks have cut off the 2 main gates, 2 of them, one of the main hospitals in hon. eunice. and that as a result of the patients that need critical care have been cut off from a that care or how, what are we sharing? i lose hearing anything from from either the idea for the israeli government about about the move and how they're justifying it. so far we haven't heard anything specifically about that hospital. however, ton unit is in the southern part of the gaza strip and disregard is really

government. and the idea of have been saying that they are going to be concentrating their operations from north to south for a while. now, having as the claim cleared, how much infrastructure in the northern part of the strip that's where the ground operation started forever. the south is where now most of the civilians are a, are crowned, literally we're talking about a place that before the war was already, it's one of the most densely populated spots on earth. and it was actually the, you know, at the prompt of the is really government for civilians to go south. many, many, many of them did to places like hun unit and then further south. and now that south that was supposed to be safe for them has become it appears the new focus of this offensive. and so it can be expected that this will continue to be tragic for

the civilians and gaza. and why is that a, can you tell us, you know, what the is really, are me the, the idea that government is saying about wipe this area in particular as is being targeted. so they claim that, well, this really is always maintain that what from us has done over the past 16 years is in bed itself, systematically under civilian infrastructure that includes hospital schools, places where it is, of course, a violation of international law to hide weapons or fire rockets, and that is how they have been able to justify the storming of hospitals, which has caused huge international condemnation, maybe reviewers remember the storming of the l. she for hospital. and after these really has been showed the did the quote unquote evidence that they found in that

hospital. that in some sense, cause even more outreach because it was deemed by many in the international community, simply as in sufficient to justify the storming of a of something like a hospital where people are receiving critical care. abraham reporting from jerusalem, thank you. in other news, indian prime minister and a rendering body has inaugurated a hindu temple on the ruins of a mosque. the opening of the temple comes as moody campaigns for a 3rd term as prime minister. now it feels like t campaign pledge to him do nationalists for whom the project has symbolic value. the destruction of the 16th century mosque back in 1992 sparked religious writings, in which thousands of people mostly muslims were killed. as for many can do the bodies, the construction of distemper for since a long time dream,

this man, in the powerful time in his turn that in dunwoody, has made the dream come true. that is not a monument to mark the birthplace of the drum. a god to him. disbelieve was born here. 7000 years ago. i got my hodges though with joy. i'm really happy. i don't know what to do was to have to have back this temple. the. the gems little of little bit almost place and faithful india. it so something amazing, but for adults victim police, reminder of violent episode, the chip, the foundations of secular india that um they both have been constructed on the disputed side of defense. the school would be most devout and to see about 500 years ago. almost can mpeg beat the most covert drums, but please in 1949,

2 years after india as independence from british fluid looping officers close to mosque after non descript east, and sight. many hindus believe i disagree or by defined in dimension for tickets often move this, put it to the fact the pope kids and the body joins campaigns for the construction to fit them. but on the most site, tensions over at the site came to our head in 1992, when the bought the mosque was destroyed by him. dom up to demolition cricket tribes that get at least 2000 people. mostly most plans across india. sorry god, me. sometimes when you are deeply hurt, you neither speak more cry or we have not emerged from the situation. the pain and trauma of demolition or by i was like, honestly, there is no one to protect us or give us justice if this feeling has been there since december 1992 until today. it does not bond with us. okay. the legal process

is for the construction of the template, went on for tickets, and that'll give me the, the site was handed over to him to groups. it's one to february moves that makes menu from d. s $200.00 beginning most claims fee under trip, especially since move into next to his body came to bower in 2014. the, the fear that this given me and, and all the affiliate is they want to buy photo traces of most of them. i stomach civilization from the country on the one side, the world attain names, a fault that usually take the most live sounding name. on the other side, they want to get rid of what attribute every musk and the course that happy to accept petitions on what they were predicts the food, how many gums just months ahead of a national election. which movie is widely expected to win. and let's look at some more stories making global headlines. chinese state media say

that a land slide has buried thousands of people killing a beast 8 and the south western prophets of united authorities have evacuated hundreds from the area where temperatures are below freezing. land flies are common in this area around the steep mountain ranges. the usaa sion regulator has advised airlines to inspect the door plugs on an older model of the following 737 aircraft. the sa says that the design was used on a newer model. the 737, max, 98. the effective door plug on this model, phone by alaska airlines flew out in mid air earlier this month. and atlantic storm has battered ireland leading thousands without power. more than $150.00 flights for cancel, the dublin airport storm isha prompted authorities to declare the highest alert level for parts of ireland. northern england and scotland train

drivers in germany are set to strike again in a pay dispute. the right to bond staff will stage a 6 day walk out beginning on wednesday. it is the 4th strike within a few months, calling for better wages and working hours. florida governor rhonda santas has ended his bed for the republican nomination for president of the united states. the santas has endorsed former president donald trump trump faces just one last challenger to run against president joe biden in november. dropping out of the presidential nomination, race, florida governor on descent. this has endorsed former president donald trump, even though early pals suggested he wasn't a strong position to take him on the. it's clear to me that the majority of republican primary voters want to give donald trump another chance they watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance. and they see democrats using law

fair this day to attack it. while i've had disagreements with donald trump, such as on the corona virus pandemic, and his elevation of anthony bouchee, trump is superior to the current incumbent joe biden. that is clear, i just felt on the scene left us the folders disheartened very displayed is very upset. this is not good news at all. um, i'm very upset, but it happened and it's very deflating. upsetting for some but uplifting for others campaigning in new hampshire, where republicans will get their 1st chance to gust ballots for a nominee, especially donald trump and his supporters, even though he's been endorsed by the sent, this comes to faces. one serious challenger nikki haley, drums farmer, you invested or comes down to this? do we want more of the same, or do you want something different?

and more of the same, is it just joe biden? more of the same is also donald trump. but even if hailey can defeat trump in new hampshire, it will take a lot more to losing his grip on a party. he's dominated since 2016 from wireless spring, a day that he used to now to milan who was standing by in merrimack, in the state of new hampshire, ahead of the republican presidential primary there. so did now tell us how, how our nikki haley is chances now against trump as well the polls, but donald trump, ahead of nikki haley with a considerable lead. a pull conducted by the university of new hampshire says that 50 percent of likely g o. p primary voters are set to back. trump compared to nicky, hayley's 39 percent. know compare that with just a couple of weeks ago where it looked like nikki haley was able to narrow down that lead to single digits. it does appear that she's losing that momentum. however, it has to be said that if there was an electorate that was going to be responsive

to nikki haley, then it would be here. this is a state that has a lot of college educated voters, moderate voters on declared voters, and she does do well with those groups. now what has to happen for her to win is that all those groups have to coalesce around her in order for her to be able to beat donald trump, who was effectively running as an incumbent with an incumbents machinery. suffice to say that will be in all pale time for her. tell us a little bit more about the new hampshire primary in particular because there's so much attention paid to these early primaries and caucuses. what is it about new hampshire, specifically? what would a victory there mean for the republican candidate? the well, the new hampshire primary is the 1st and the nation primary. it follows on from the caucus says this is, this represents a good early opportunity for a candidates for the country to get to know them for them to be able to show how

much support they have within their party space. now in terms of the votes, it doesn't actually matter that much. the new hampshire primary and then you have new hampshire only has 22 delegates. so and the republican primary process that represents less than one percent of the delegates that go on to vote. and the republican convention later this year. however, as you said, this is a primary that gets a lot of attention. there's so much media coverage, it's a chance for candidates to get that media coverage, get that donor money and create momentum that they could carry over with them into the next states. but in the case of this specific haley trump matchup, it's actually starting to feel like the last time that this race could be competitive. now, of course, new hampshire voters are there are notoriously contrary, and they enjoy going against the green and providing surprises. if mickey haley has a chance to do well, then it will be here, if not, success for her does not materialize them. this air of inevitability around trump.

so nomination will continue to permeate the rest of the primary season. and what are they telling you? what's the mood there other than it being absolutely freezing as well? you know, they take their role as the 1st and nation primary voters very seriously. so republicans are even expecting a record turn out. despite that cold, i've seen estimates as high as 322000. the current record stands at $286000.00. so we've been going through trump events. so we've been going to haley events. now. these events are quite different from each other. trump, supporters are very enthusiastic, very fired up, very confident that the candidate will, in fact, walk away with the nomination, that it's almost a done deal. haley supporters or i would not describing so much as fired up, but as extremely receptive. so in a more moderate and quiet way and we're just going to have to see how that actually translates into the ballot box. so come tuesday and i'll zoom alone in new

hampshire. thank you. nato has kicked off its biggest military exercise in decades. steadfast, defend, are 24 ames to show that the alliance can rapidly deploy forces from north america and elsewhere to reinforce europe. 31 needle members and sweden are taking part in those drills involving around 90000 troops, dozens of naval vessels, aircraft, and more than a 1000 combat vehicles will also take part and let's get more on that. we are joined by elizabeth bra. she is senior fellow at the atlanta counsels scowcroft center for strategy and security. she joins us from washington, dc. thank you so much for your time this afternoon. it's need those biggest exercise in decades. talk with us a little bit more about the timing it is, as you say,

a massive exercise and in fact, it's the size. it's the size of its time since the end of the cohorts. it's an exercise, practicing the movements of nature forces within nature, child truth, including the us, which means bringing a lot of twos from the us. and the last time nature practiced it at this scale was during the cold war. we something court reporter, and now we're back with this massive exercise and new don't the cold before jared because before it was return of course is to germany and now german, he's no longer employed at the baltic states and po 9 and all the problem. fine was just be a practice and then for obvious reasons because that's where that could be potential harm and, and the most expensive timing because the situation at the border of the states and food on has interior. i did it in the past couple of years, and the strengthening and the expanding of nato has always been one of the main concerns of russian president vladimir putin. so can you explain, you know, how these exercises,

to what extent they raise the likelihood of confrontation and instead of producing it in the rush, as we always say is, as a nature, exercises confrontational. but a nature has always made the case. it is during the cold war and today the, it's a defensive alliance. it's only that defend dispatcher, if you don't enter the nature terry tree, nature won't do anything to you and, but also the days back to the cold war is the sort of scare mongering on the russian side. or is it on the service side as it was that, that, that need to have that whole side intentions or aggressive intentions? and so it must have been do that once again and probably have some success because this is a very significant exercise. but as they've been, they've been scare mongering so much of the top 510 here. so i don't think people will be best receptive to that message that they may have been 10 years ago in the

context of the war and ukraine. i mean, you know, the, the russian military itself is very much occupied there. and i'm just wondering how that has been impacting the export of view of where the russian threats nato stands right now of the rushes of barracks that. huh. and that's the using doc, just a military capabilities and resources but, but also not military capabilities and, and, and resources. so if we look at the threats to the voltage see region which is where this exercise is taking place. it's not just the threat of russian troops marching across the border. it's also the threat of, um, what is called hybrid or appraisal regression as the something nice with the food is doing clearly in some sort of corporation with russia, which is the weapon, the ice migration after border of at least range on that. yeah. and, and po, 9 and the sabotage that we have seen of

a sea based infrastructure in the baltic sea, non basis troops in, in them. so i wouldn't be able to, to really do much about that. but this is a show of strength for the show that nato is committed and is watching the region. and if something were to happen at s good, that nature would be that elizabeth ra, senior fellow at the atlanta council. thank you. in germany, national and international politicians have been paying their respects to wolf thank show of law who died in december last year. interior minister in the 19 ninety's sharp that was one of the architects of german reunification. he later became minister under annual americal and was known for his hard line austerity approach during the european debt crisis in 20092010 transfer all off schultz, french president and manual my call. and you commission, president, 1st of the funded line, are among the dignitaries at today's memorial service in both ends. cathedral costs

over to our chief political editor. and we had a customer who was standing by inside the german problem in. so states ceremonies like this one are, are pretty rare in germany. tell us a little bit more about showing how he stood out from the other politicians of his time. well, let's put it this way. he met everybody, every german chancellor, except the 1st one kind of odd, odd, kno uh and that points to was 1st of all the fact that he was with 51 years in german parliament, the longest serving parliamentarian and he fulfilled acute t rolls, going back to german town, how much coal the tensor of re unification. he was interior minister at the time when the wolf fell and then went on to become the key architects of german reunification. so he had a key role in creating the very foundations of germany. as we know it today and has continuously been in offices of responsibility, one way or another,

at the very least, he was an m p and as the current speaker of parliament, that's of all he also had in the past. and the boss pointed out to you, he was the pitching me of a dumb and public service and it's not only germans who are honoring him today, but also high ranking european politicians. as we mentioned there. what does that tell us about his legacy as well as well? first and foremost, he was very keen on close ties between germany and phones. he came from the conviction that the front coach i'm an engine must work in order to stabilize the european union. french president, in mind, whom i call is here today as a key figures from french politics to highlight that's not an amount of my call will be holding the central speech here. and also this collaboration is taking face to the day 61 years since the signing of the end is

a treating would formalize deeper ties, more special ties between germany and phones. and also 6 years to the day when he got in a spoke before the french parliament, which also led to the front code them and parliamentary group being founded. and just 2 days before he died, he reminded everybody that the volume a triangle, which isn't in full of gathering between fonts, germany, i'm, poland, shouldn't be revived to stabilized europe. so he was not just told about germany and german reunification, but about stabilizing europe and stabilizing the euro. and along with it, because of course he was finance. minister during is not just the financial crisis, but also the greek debt crisis that followed the w's chief political enter, michelle, the coast r. thank you. also in germany, organizers say that more than 1400000 people have taken part in demonstrations

there is another way i can go get. the nationwide outrage was treated by records the right wing extremists admit to discuss reporting millions of immigrants, and even german citizens with migrant backgrounds and visited field trying to see if the jenn natasha. you attended the meeting. a has since distanced itself from the plan. a fall rights policy has strong support and recently came 2nd, do national opinion polls. regional elections are set to take place in just a few months time, including germany's eastern states, where a state is particularly hope to talk with us. i hope that we can change people's mind, somebody not sure whether they will vote for s t, but after these demonstrations, they simply can't do that anymore. so that's a great trinity design. yes, many protest is se germany's democracy is a state officer, a weekend of mass rallies across the country,
