the the is dw, use my phones on it and says the venue is ready to be of sol causes last refuge from out of state is israel is managed for pass to move. it's offensive further south towards the egyptian folder to more than half of costs as population is taking shelter. also on the program and breakthrough, the for the crate of view and to top costs international court of justice as a can here, each case. and a dispute with russia over a claim of genocide can use capital dropped by a devastating explosion. at least 3 people asked as and hundreds injured as a trust lovers grant gas a set. so i mean,

find out the science and library policy site was operating the leak the photo. welcome to the program, those stories in just a moment. we're going to start there with breaking news from the middle east. us media reporting that american forces have launched as strikes against targets in syria. for days president abide and has been threatening retaliation for sunday's attack, which killed at 3 us troops in jordan. in the last few hours, the president attended the big punch creation of the soldiers remains. an air force base in delaware were killed in a drone strike on the remote military facility. let's go straight to washington dw correspondent general, i do middle welcome. general. hasn't been confirmed yet,

but these are us strikes indeed, phil, we are hearing reports that those strikes have started in syria. us media are reporting this. they're saying that these attacks have been launched from multiple platforms. but no, as of yet, there has been no official conformation from the white house or from the pentagon. although, of course, this is a situation that we're monitoring very closely we might hear from them any minute now. however, the west has, of course, have been telegraphing that it would respond to these attacks that killed 3 service members. 3 u. s. service members on drone, 22 on tower 22, sorry, on a jordan's north eastern border. and it's thought that because those attacks have been telegraphed in advance, many commanders of those earring and back proxy groups and of the, of the reading and revolutionary guard have been pulled out of those potential

targets sites and or have gone into hiding. now it remains to be seen now what the response of these, on these proxy groups or of iran itself will be to these attacks if confirmed and that will determine the shape of the rest of the campaign in these days to come. so what is being said about where has been hit that they, that the targets themselves and the date, whether or not they have been casualties. we have heard reports of 666 casualties, although once again cannot confirm these reports yet feel nothing has been officially cited from the white house or the pentagon. the targets are thought to be mainly in syria, and it is also thought that taught targets will probably also be in iraq. young men is not thought to be a target as of the moment. okay, thanks by gentle dental,

dental, and washington. now they're growing phase of a new is rarely a sole time southern gaza. israel's ministry has suggested it's planning to advance towards a rafa close to the junction border. the u. s. as rafa has become a pressure of despair, all the half of gauze population has been forced to take refuge there since the staff of israel's war against thomas, which is considered a terrorist organization by many countries. and now this tried calling hon units and southern gaza and explosion followed by gunshots since people running for their lives. colombia are danger. embodiments are coming from all directions. hun units has again become the focus of israeli air strikes. its infrastructure has been severely damaged, thousands more displaced, guidance, a once more fleeing to rough, up for the south,

on the border with egypt. and already over crowded. recent days, thousands of palestinians have continued to free to the south, which is already hosting a hosp. the gas us population, or some 2300000 people most are living in make shift structures, tents or out in the open, proffers a pressure of despair. and we feel for what comes next. then you arrivals in rough, uh, rely on food handouts provided by so many tearing groups or the nation centers like this one. a workers can only feed a small number of displaced and that's what we're doing our best to distribute as much as we can little so that as many of the displaced as possible can get food free on the thoughts. so yes,

the firearms thousands of displays, people in rafa and we can't serve them. oh yeah, i know everyone here is helping the latest attempt to secure a ceasefire will pay off the correspondence in jerusalem. rebecca rich, this gave me the latest on these really offensive hey, will fail. israel has been continuing its campaign in the south, specifically around hon. eunice as you would just hearing in that report on you. this has been a focus of the as rarely, military for some weeks. now they say it is a hot bed of hamas terror terrorist as they call them it's they say that there are a lot of how much lead is they hiding on the ground, that there are come on centers of their manufacturing size launch pads. so they're really been focusing on they both aerial bombardment and also the ground offensive . that's well, they're still fighting going on in the central and northern parts of the strip. and

this all comes despite the fact that israel said a few weeks ago that it was going to be winding back uh its this phase. so i should say moving into the next phase is a more targeted phase and moving away from this continuous, bombardments and really look quite large ground offensive into the next phase. it would be more targeted. as i just said, a that's a bane at the urging of the us. but as we can see from that report that, that hasn't been happening. uh, the mouse around health ministry reported more than a 100. that's a kick of the people that we killed overnight in the last 24 hour period. that is, of course, expected to rise again tomorrow. and as you heard, the, the defense minister is ready, defense minister saying that they are going to push to the south targeting that rafa border region that rest of the southernmost city. where of course, one and a half of the population of gauze and more than 1000000 people are now trying to shelter, trying to stay away from the west of the finding. really not clear where those

people will go. many of them having already evacuated some several times from the north to the center to the south, to, to the very south, down there in rafa. and really running out of places to go. right. and the lights are still negotiations between israel and a mass about the potential sci fi, or has been some cautious optimism, particularly coming from the guitar, is now they're playing a very large role in these negotiations as they did with the, with the piece or the, this of ceasefire that was, that happened in november, they had a very big role in that as well. now we heard from the guitar a foreign minister or the spokes person saying that the people could be cautiously optimistic that something might happen in a couple of weeks. so it's still too early to say just whether that will come to fruition and when and where we're seeing the negotiations continue as they do, we saw something very similar before that november deal was struck as well. they

things went out, things went down, it looked positive one minute and not so positive the next. so it's really hard to tell when something might happen from us. still, they say going over the proposal, it does look like these rallies have already come to some agreement, but that i'm us, haven't yet agreed to the dealer man. now putting on the table that they want some very high level people to be released from is reading prisons. whether or not israel would agree to such a measure at really remains to be same. feel so that do hopeful, cautious optimism, as i said, but still could be some weeks away. okay, thank you for that. rebecca versus in general. so we went to the top cost has cleared the way to hit claims broad by ukraine, a russian accusation of genocide. the international court of justice in the hey, cause rule, but he does have jurisdiction to have pots, a few things. case change. main argument is that russia falsely accused ukraine of genocide to justify its invasion. in february of 2022,

russia and ukraine have previously accused each other of genocide correspond to nit connelly in case i totally have ukrainian aside, is a viewing of this decision. the obviously there is a huge amount of all cane detailing here and lots complex. in this case. it is being welcomed, obviously that the i c j is going to deal with this case is going to look into this . but there are, as we said, lots of things that ukraine wants to look at, which they say they don't have the jurisdiction for just the last few days. lots of ukraine complaints about russian recognition of these break away republics that have since been incorporated into russia at least under rush, little minority rights and crimea. lots of things with the i. c j says that is not our matcher. so it is a victory. yes. and longer term it could end up with ukraine having that recognition from the i c j that it did not commit genocide, gates, russian speaking ukrainians,

and east of the country. something that then could be used to in kind of international negotiations when some kind of settlement comes to this rule. but it is a long way off, and it is a sort of small, kind of chink of light in there kind of broad, a picture which isn't too kind of rosy. can you create it at the moment, it has to be said, though, that this case isn't being watched with the same intensity here in ukraine as what was the case. for instance, over the cause a case brought against israel by south africa. it is one of many cases that ukraine has against russia in parallel, in different uh, different jurisdictions, different platforms all about trying to force arrested to explain itself to potentially get reparations to allow ukraine to get access to those hundreds of billions of euros with all version that is there for us across the world, but it has to be that this is for a very complex and very multi faceted effort, which so far hasn't brought concrete results give so that nick and economy a key a nice 3 people have been killed and hundreds injured in that

john's explosion in kenya, it happened to the gas plants and the capital nairobi, mutual authorities say, had been operating illegally. the blast sparked fires, which spread quickly destroying nearby homes and businesses, and forcing locals to evacuate massive gas explosion near hundreds of homes. minutes later, 5 fight does i battling to contain the region please? a truck loaded with gas near the residential area and the deck stated warehouse exploded. they've density still create the fire spread homes. gars shops have only been burned down just before midnight. hundreds of residents lead to safety. some couldn't make it the fight has left many injured to meet people and gotten the by an exploding

gas cylinder as i was trying to escape. when the court exploded right in front of me and the impact knocked me down, the flames engulfed me. i'm lucky that i was strong enough to get away. because you've been a bunch of inconvenience. so and when i go to outside a phone, fire a little stopped. it was like it was a must to fire and it was so, but it was monday experience and i couldn't seem imagine so i saw people around me . i'm my dozen children, the they had small, maybe is cutting. i so goes and moves. i'm leaving stomach use the toilet. piece of negligence, sneaky. why this? i think it's an illegal gas. siphoning dep. uh, we usually see trucks driving it out and it's been going on for quite some time. you know, many of the properties have been done to ashes that tottered. these have secured
