michael locus welcome israel has confirmed that its forces have been floating tunnels under garza which gates as are used by humans. the army is pouring sea water into the tunnel network but says it is ensuring that ground water supplies are not effected. experts have previously worn that sea water could permanently damage fresh water for gauze is 2300000 residents and endanger hostages still being held by him. uh, mike martin is a former british army officer and senior fellow in the department of war studies at kings college london. i asked him whether flooding tunnels is an effective tactic. a good morning, michael. uh yes it is. sally ruthless approach is, is very simple. um,

you can pump in sea water is you said in your package or you need is a, a fire hydrant. the something that every fire department has an in you can run that for 24 hours on the is a simple as it sounds. water flows down hill and we know some of these structures are very deep and it fills up the system from the bottom. and then either, if you're not totally the drown or you have to come to the surface, which is obviously what the id f wants with this activity. many of our viewers know that more than a 100 is really hostages, are still being held by him on some of whom are believe to be in the tunnels. doesn't the army risk drowning the very people they're trying to rescue? in this sense, actually what we're seeing here with this story about funding tellos is a perfect example which describes the strategic tension that the is right is having that will rooms they seem to destroy thomas,

but also to release the hostages that is repeated daily by these way the government bought actually is probably impossible to achieve both of those items. the only time the hostages have been released is when in fact there has been a ceasefire on the walls. the wolf fighting is going on. we've seen hostages kills . and so here when the flushing of the tunnel to perhaps get rid of how my supply is all to take on minutes is obviously the most sense we'll place for the hostages to be is in the tunnel network. so yes, they are exactly puts in danger. so it's a perfect example of the tension, the strategic tension of the sensor, and these riley war items. experts say that the flying tunnels is a dangerous option that poses huge risk to gauze as already besieged the civilian population. what do they mean? but i think there's 2 things. one was what you mentioned in your package, which is about ground water. and of course,

it's only see water that they can pump in because that's, you know, because it's on the case and that's the biggest volume of water. and they need a lot of volume to flush out the entire tunnel network that will seat into ground water and a lot of calls and a gets that water from wells. so that's a huge quickly, but the other problem is what this flooding does is it, is it pits some of the causes and population between aerial bombardment and flooding on the ground. inevitably, some of these tunnels will have been abandoned, although be not some tunnels all be used on some elements of the cause and population will be hiding in the best place to go when this excessive aerial bombardment, as we're seeing, is on the ground. and so by flooding the tunnels, it puts the population in between a rock and a hard place. staying in the area, weeks of bombing and heavy fighting have left much of southern gaza in ruins. tens of thousands of civilians have been forced to flee even farther south to the

egyptian border. dw is mohammed of coal, who would have sent us this report on conditions facing the new arrivals. mamma and a family of 20 are in search of safety. they were forced to flee from you in shelter in hon. eunice after as rainy bombings intensified. now this is the hon. may of the city of rough or close to the border with agent. to start with that one of the things we've been suffering a lot to you. there's no food or drink all the food be prepared, we give to the children. for those old people it's not important. eat or drink and the hand is a 100. i didn't necessarily have everyone's situation here. it is difficult. we live in great suffering may be a lot of. there's no drinking water and there's no health. i have not even the most basic elements of ordinary life. what am i supposed to have onto the image?

ongoing clashes with homeless, israel escalated, it's bombing off from eunice or the 43000 displaced people have been forced to move south towards the rough. uh, the women. i mean, yeah, i know. good god, we was sleeping peacefully when suddenly the clashes and shells started falling on us and we couldn't sleep all night and i still don't understand. the reason for this behavior is just uh, how the sodium the you in the estimates around a c 5, the seem to have causes population has been displaced by the war. many families have been forced to move multiple times the color. so how do we hope that the war will end peacefully? and that will be able to live a safe, normal life for the children. because our children don't live in safety at the

moment. then the whole thing is that i love you, we hope to return home as soon as possible and live a life like everyone else and like the rest of the world. all situation and data for children is very bad, ledner mama and thousands of palestinians and gaza. hope that they can return home one day for now, those home is this, make shifting on the guys in border in other international news. un secretary general, antonio gutierrez has urged donor countries to keep funding it's agency for palestinian refugees. he met with ambassadors from $35.00 nations, to discuss accusations that some agency staff took part in the october 7 to most terror attacks. several countries, including germany, have suspended funding quickly, rebels and yemen claim to have fired several missiles at the united states navy ship and the red sea. the pentagon says one missile was intercepted and no damage

a venetian job, it has more on what this means for the former pakistani prime minister. right in the time now for a significant featured in future. so basically this convention means that he would not be able to do any better to go to a book for a significant period in future. so definitely it is a big step back for him, right hon. but it was not something that was not expected. and he is more disturbing a 3 year to do them on good up some charges. and yesterday he was sentenced to 10 years on the, on a case i didn't want him to begin of the secrets. now this gives in both him and his wife just leaving stage, gibbs and not dictating them by using office. and therefore all of these convictions just before february elections definitely are very damaging for him don't. huh. would we have to see the impact of done when things are when died

stored in favor of conditions of cases against them get dropped, their disqualification are also dropped. but at this moment in the wrong hands, but it does look good again. it is a big step back to him. dw, beneath java. a remember and ceremony has been held at the german parliament, the bonus dog, to honor victims of national socialism. the rest of your ceremony focused on the holocaust. among the speakers was ever sufficient to survive the irish which death camp. she was 12 years old when the camp was liberated. she described the moment when she arrived there to the office here. com. um, actually the guard stormed up to the office and she was back kicked my jacket to one side as of yesterday and then to do so. i tried to stop the use.

around $14000.00, a living in hong kong survivors. so in germany, around quarter, a 1000000 of them around the world. and this tradition of german, let's take a stick and quite early alone, before the u. n. has actually passed the international whole cost resolution is something that is still very much an important international commemoration day. and you can see that today clearly around the parliament in the house numbers being very much involved and touched strongly. we should note that the ceremony didn't only reflect on moments in history, but they were direct references to what happened in israel on october 7th. correct . that was very much a permanent part of the ceremony. it was mentioned in the speeches and for very clear reason the that, that the, we still see the precautions of that day. not only the release, but also for jews living in europe, in germany and around the world. let's take a look at what was said about that. the status 7th of october

was the day which changed everything for us jewish people in the world. my everyday life in germany is defined since then by increased security measures to send me a solution from increased on a and to submit to incidents defined by for years you need and conversational that start with yes, but we'll get to vegas or a silence that is residing from the heart of the society by the look of it, not many drawing eyes there. um you know this the there was also pointed remark from eva. patsy. about a growing fears of the rise of the far right in germany. what exactly did you say about that? well, you know, we also have part talking about the fear of a silence before remaining silence as they see rise and anti semitism rise and hatred in hate. speech in attacks against snow in the rise of

a fall. right. she was talking about the need to stand up against that at every moment when people see it every day lives in their office in their, you know, in their, you know, in their daily conduct and not to wait only for a special memorial days such as we see today, but you know, it's specifically this year in germany, the 27th of january, which was the official collaboration day saturday, was also today, and thousands and thousands of germans all over the country were marching in the streets against the rise of the state against the rise of the right, so germany is very much a tune to that message and very much tries to show that it's always trying to, to keep the memory as, as a testimony and as a will, it has a force driving it's forward and it's a decision in this policy today user shawnee was honest. thank you, shawn it. you're welcome michael. a and a reminder of our top story. israel has confirmed that the its forces have been flooding tunnels on new concept, which it says are used by him or the army is pumping sea water into the network
