a gas in coordination with our international partners, particularly jordan in the coming days. we're also going to redouble our efforts to open up a humanitarian maritime cord or to over amounts of humanitarian assistance by c hopefully large amounts of i see. this is of course, in addition to expanding delivery by land, which we have been keenly focused on. now for, for many months we'll continue to push is risk is real, to facilitate more trucks going in and more routes being open so that more aid can get to more people. despite the us announcement, the situation for guys is population remains bleak. the u. n. is warning that famine and gaza is quote, almost inevitable, is a deliveries don't increase significantly. jordanian plain slides have an open gaza dropping packages of rice flour, baby, milk, and other essential items. palestinians gather in the ruins, the streets below,

trying to guess where the 8 packages will land as people struggled to feed their families and made israel spite to destroy the militant group by mouth. agencies the cold and drops the measure of last resort. because many drops day to reach those most in need yesterday and the day before they were at drops and the noise, but some of them the, the reach days were 80 communities because of the air. and the wind actually, um, so the, the, the distribution is, is not clear for the people. plus, it doesn't reach the old, the, the categories or the people who are still in the north. they've got the strength to the united nations warning of widespread hunger and gauze. is guessing more urgent if something doesn't change,

a famine is almost inevitable. on the, on the car insurance. once a family needs declare, it is too late for too many people. over a 100 pallets to indians were killed off the crowd surrounded an 8 convoy uh the on thursday morning. this video from the guitar e channel out as 0 shows people climbing on the trucks to get to the supplies. shots rang out the how must run health authorities and survivors accuse these really all me of shooting at the crowd. the talk to is it goes is overwhelmed. hospital struggle to deal with the injured when the had mother. and i've been with the that when the truck's into a guy's the tank in court cups to begin to fire the people who gathered to get food for themselves and their children, that they started shooting at the b as riley army said limited shots were fired near the 8 con voice, but insisted that most of the dead would from pull to run over by the

a trucks. from some germany, a cooling for an international inquiry into the depths, or germany is investigating potential russian espionage. that's after russian state media published what it claims is a recording of a conversation between high ranking german military officers. they reportedly discussed the possibility of ukraine bonding, the main bridge linking crimea to russia using german cruise missiles. the bridge has already been attacked twice since the war began, but berlin has refused to supply. keep with the long range torres themselves cited in and verify the transcripts of the conversation. germany's defense ministry told the w it is looking into whether it's communications were intercepted. it's authenticity has not yet been officially confirmed. dw,

as roman going to ranko is following the story. he told us more about the recording as well. what we can do here, we cannot verify it, of course, on. we cannot say, you know, if the whole tape is this recording is authentic or maybe some parts of it what adopted. so what we hear is, um there are 4 high ranking german officers, including one general discussing the possible delivery of the tourist missiles to ukraine. they explicitly say that there is no political decision on that, but just in case there is one they are preparing how this could be done. so the talking about um, how long it would take, how many months, how many missiles could be delivered to upgrading the possible ways to live with them. and of course they are also discussing some targets, mentioning a bridge. they don't say it's a crime in bridge budget must be it. but there is no other important bridge uh at a door a devote was all zone at the moment and munition to pose. so they say how many

muscles could be needed to destroy that bridge? it is important to know that that bridges on ukrainian soil, so your brand has all the right to hate it with any missiles it has. so it is a very unusual move of, uh for, for russia to popular stats such information. and my guess is the only reason is the dresser is very much afraid of those tours muscles to the very effective and rush i once to do anything. it's going to stop a possible deliberate and it even doesn't believe to jump in terms of the all the folks who ruled out such a delivery. so they are probably thinking and by publishing that recording that will undermine the political discussion in germany, or they will put more pressure on a chance to a shoals. and which is also important. i think that's my also put some pressure inside nato because just a few days ago there were and there was a talks about delivering tours missiles and all sorts of said if you it was about

that. and she said no. then there was the french president's money on my crone, but talking about sending troops to ukraine, and there is no unity in that question within nato, within german and france. so by publishing this recording, the russians are probably trying to start the discussion within a so no, just within germany as the russian opposition leader alexei now volley has been laid to rest in moscow. the fiercest critic of president vladimir putin died 2 weeks ago in a remote arctic penal colony. thousands gathered outside the church where his funeral was held in defiance of a heavy police presence and warnings from the kremlin. one human rights groups is at least 67 people have been arrested at nationwide tributes. crowds of moon is john. russia will be free as a cue outside the church and must go with the funeral of the next scene of only

withheld. the anti corruption campaign, a few months galvanized huge protests against the russian government. also, bruce thousands to the streets of to his desk to bid him farewell despite the police blockade and the risk of arrest the, there's something like 10000 people here. no one is a freight we came here because we want to honor the memory of the person who is not scared of anything else. and we also bought so many of those here. it's just important to see people who agree that what happens is terrible and that there are a lot of people who think this will start to find the traditional public burial and the criminal and against what they called protests taking place outside the church.

inside the church, alexys family and friends pay the final respects the the full of the coffin was transported to a cemetery near the banks of the most clouded river of his parents said good bye to the son, nevada, and these wife, julia novelle naya was not present at the funeral, she is living outside of russia, saying she could be arrested if she pretends the. she posted half the well to has been don't social media. funking him for 26 years of happiness. she has vowed to continue her husband's

work. in a ron official results with the elections show, the lowest turn out in the islamic republics. history only about 40 percent of the countries eligible voters turned up at the polls on friday. the election for a new parliament and the powerful council of experts largely is a contest among the countries. conservatives is ron's 1st national vote since widespread anti government protest sparked the death of gina and masa. i mean the following. her arrest for allegedly violating the countries strict dress code for women for more we turn to cost are already who directs research on the runs revolutionary guard corps for the policy organization united against nuclear or ron. thank you for coming on. i'm just having a 40 percent voter turnout. what does this tell us about how people in are on see these elections? i wasn't if best,

but we have to make it clear. this is not free. in fact, election and the writing and people on mass boyd cottage, these elections, and even if you look at the statistics before, at the so called votes, the regime itself actually said into ron, they anticipated 15 percent turn out or not, they usually inflate the sega so the 40 percent big, i certainly inflated and this reflects the new to the rating people. the writing people have made it absolutely clear. you cannot reform these line republic changed not from the ballot box. and the only solution is outright raising change against the system. now, this time around we so unprecedented election manufacturing even for the standards of these long republic and i, it's a lot of the common a, the 84 year old supreme leader only permits. it's his own social base. and that's all his power minute tree. the islamic revolution, the god,

cool to participate. so, yes, essays so quoted votes was really an internal patriot supply and fights between various oligarchy, climes boxing out out for a great to slice of the pie that is the crabtree crossing system. so a, with this, as you say, so called the election done with what should we expect among the conservatives in terms of, do they see some indication of new policy? or are they trying to further consolidate power with one faction or another? the best way to describe this outcome is this was a test to a match, feel like task. so between the old generation of harmony, absolutist and the younger generation of combinations that it's or all of these

groups. a pot of combination cults, of past analyses in terms of political power as well. but it's will power is completely centralized in the hands of the supreme leader. so based what really have much impacts. but really for common a, what it's done is by the complete his personalization of power. and this whole thing was geared towards succession. comedy wants to ensure that his audiology outlets them. he's 84 years old. and he wants to make sure that when he dies, the system stays the same and his views, his ideas is ideology. our lives at himself now to try to and fro. he's a leads, he can control easily through elections, but he's a kidneys. hail the regimes, achilles, who is b rainy and people and no doubt when he dies, they will see i have heard think this is the perfect opportunity to take to the

streets and get rid of the islamic republic. one, thank you very much. thank you very much. for your time. thank you. so that's it for now. up next. our doc film, siblings, love, hate rivalry. looking at the complicated relationships between brothers and sisters . i'm always a chance. thanks for watching t w, the ice cold b. jessica new an expedition ventures on to places that no one has the climate research in the ice. the tasks much touch
