the, the, this is the to the news life from berlin. germany investigate the leak of secret talks on weapons for ukraine. the government says the kremlin wire top german generals discussing the potential use of german made cruise missiles to attack the bridge linking russia to occupied crime. yeah. also coming out the united states joins and international operation to air drop desperately needed supplies into gaza . palestinian children rush forward to receive the age as the un again ones, hundreds of thousands of displaced. people face thomas on the 1st thinking of a cargo ship attacked by rebels and the red c. gammon is now warning of looming

environmental catastrophe. from the 1st lights are on board, we'll hear from green the here moment. welcome to the program. the german government says russia wire types of conversation between german air force generals up at the war and ukraine. the officers talk about whether ukraine could use german made cruise missiles to attack the bridge linking russia to occupies crime. jo, chancellor, will laugh schultz calling the leak. very serious. authorities have opened an investigation. is an explosive leak. that is sending short waves through germany's political and military establishment or recording of a conversation between high ranking and forced offices. as they talk about this taurus a long range, cruise me style, capable of taking out to bunk,

has an over $45.00 facilities. the officers speak about sending them to ukraine. they also mentioned possible targets, including the touch bridge. they can cry me a river, russia seen by ukraine as a symbol of wishing occupation. one officer allegedly sites this. we've looked closely at the bridge. it is unfortunately like a landing strip due to its size. that means it is entirely possible we would need 10 or 20 ms. ios. it's a major embarrassment for german chancellor olaf sholtes. he's promised to get to the bottom of a leak. that's desktop evicted, web design. what spring reports it is very serious. that's why it's necessary to begin a very thorough intensive and rapid investigation. schultz has so far, refused to send towards me. so i was to ukraine to the stray sion of many little may cuz his concerns they could be used to hit target, some russian soil goose. the recording was posted, the social media by mockery,

just seem on the on the head of ocean state, broadcast a r t cremmit and officials are clearly enjoying the moment. so that's why it's almost this. i didn't know how to describe what happened and i was like, no of nato colleagues obviously involved. and so, and i don't know how they will explain that to their own population. can you believe somebody's against the same this'll in germany's ministry is scrambling to pluck the leak and wondering whether any more of its conversations could have been tight of the united states carried at its 1st air drop of age into war tour and gaza on saturday. 3 planes delivered the ryans there, c 8000 meals into the besieged territory, where the un says at least a quarter of the population is close to simon. washington says the air drops will be a sustained effort that is real supports the operation. tens

of thousands of ready meals add dropped to a population that the united nations size is on the brink of famine. the us size is the stop as a board, a campaign with the budget administration, trying to prevent the humanitarian disaster and well agencies welcome the ad drops . they say it's nowhere near enough. the united states just dropped 38000 yields is not across the control input. it would be much better and much more meaningful to make sure that the crossings work more effectively and the more trust came through. so are 28000. uh um, you know, that's probably less than one full truck. so for summing gaza dropped feels almost like a token gesture, considering the scale of the humanitarian crisis. in most the united states as part

of this crime against gaza. today, america is trying to buyer silence by sending his aid. it's better for us to live in war then to get a from america. was the president by didn't approve to the mission of to more than 100 palestinians were killed during a couch encounter with a trucks and the is right, the last week he's under mounting pressure both at home and the boat is response to the western humanitarian crisis. in gaza, the situation in gaza tonight can only be described as catastrophic. the humanitarian needs are obviously the 3 the roof. families are struggling to meet that day. the needs increasingly difficult to find clean foods of the water and access to basic health care. there are increasing reports of illnesses linked to mountain nutrition. we are seeing an increase in the prevalence of diarrhea as well

as other types of illnesses as well as such as scabies which are very concerning. well, the meals will be welcome. so many of those you can get them. it seems unlikely to have any real lasting impact for the people being hit ta, just by this bull. well, earlier dw washington correspondents, now the my loan told us why the us chose to drop aid know after months of a 19 nice harry and crisis. well, the board and administration had been looking into air drops like these for weeks now, but they say that they haven't done so until now because of the logistical challenges involved. but what really appears to have move the needle this time around, is that incident that we described in that report. we just aired that incidents around the depths around that monetary and convoy square is rarely troops are accused of opening fire on palestinians trying to get food from those aid trucks.

now there's a lot of uncertainty still around what actually happened there. but white house spokes person, john kirby said that that incidents that highlighted the need to get more creative way to find more creative ways of getting greater assistance in to gaza. and at scale us officials really treating this like a key event that highlights the dire and as of the situation in gaza. also worth pointing out that this is happening at a time where the bite in administration is facing a lot of pressure over it's is really policy blight and expanding a lot of political capital here. losing a lot of support along, especially young voters here in the us. he's under pressure to be showing to show that he's doing what he can for the palestinians. but obviously there is this rebuild the reasonable debate going around now as to how much difference air drops it without any kind of systematic distribution for how much difference that will

really make. and is this actually intended to send a message to the is really government? well, the burden administration has been quick to stress that these air drops are the beginning that we will be seeing more of them at the same time. they're also quick to stress that these are not a substitute for age. deliver dot via land core doors. so the a, so the message that the bite and administration clearly wants to send to israel here is that it should do more to open up those outline crossings to allow more aid in. but of course, there's this argument that these air drops would not be necessary if the u. s. were in fact able to pressure israel to open up these line crossings. and as such, critics say that the message that bite and is inadvertently sending is that washington is unable or unwilling to use that leverage that it has over israel. it's to push israel to open those line crossings to getting more 8. and instead,

the us is having to resort to what critics call a band aid measure of these air drops of that many d risky and effective maldonado and, and d. c. thank you so much. let's take a look now, is some other stories making headlines around the world? thousands of anti government for testers have rallied in cities across israel. they're demanding early elections and not prime minister benjamin netanyahu step down. now who's popularity has plummeted since the october 7 him off terrorist attack for testers also called for the release of hostages, still house and also in the us primaries race. donald trump has won the republican nomination from 3 more states because votes in idaho, michigan and missouri were all quickly called for the former president. he's one every state so far searching him well on course to read the parties. candidates in november's presidential election. at least 7 people, i think, killed in

a rush and draw an attack on the cranium. portable odessa president brought him his landscapes as the shaheen drone was supplied by iran. he's urging ukraine's western allies to send it more air defense systems and a cargo ship attack by who the rebels and the red sea has sunk. is the 1st special last since the many group began targeting commercial shipping, it says is linked to israel versus owned, ruby mart was carrying styles of tons of 1st lives there when it was hit by a messiah and began taking in walter and nearly 2 weeks ago. yeah, mons internationally recognized government as warning, the sinking crude cause and environmental catastrophe. earlier i asked paul horseman from green peace international just high big the environmental impact could be. so i started, is it going to assess the big factors you've got about $41000.00 tons of photo eliza being thrown into the ocean. and together with cars, tons of the oil,

the fuel efficient. and together, those could, could create a months, months or a center this could create an environmental disaster in the area. so what's needed, ray is immediate action to assess the situation and, and, and try to try to recover as much as possible. and um, i think we have some fits this year of a ship just before its sunken and they're quite insane pictures. um the government team did visit the ship before a site. have there been any efforts to limit or to clean up the damage here? i started to go to see, i mean that i could see the internationally recognized government. they said people to see the sheriff bus as far as any kind of recovery. busy salvage efforts, as far as we know, that's not started yet, because evaluating costs area to operate at the moment. we all know the political

situation. but really, there's a, has to be a huge amount of assets combined with 2 of us there in order to get to the ship in order to assess the damage. and also the recover as much as possible just by divide to the political difficulties and higher if a toll can incidents like this be prevented from happening again as well. first of all, the ships do sometimes have a tendency to pump into. 3 i mean, this has been a casualty and a different kind of sense. i normally spoken, you would have to pay the insurance companies. you have a, the un, the imo, you'd have salvage express. you had a lot of people immediately in the sense in there. but the situation there is nothing normal as a moments, so it really is quite tired. it's so important to get

people to the region. just went back to the evidence and really making assessments of the situation and recover to recover as much as possible from, from the vessel i, i task that would be extremely good to go through the normal circumstance of the situation that we have there. i think it would be very interesting and i mean, i think it's just difficult to see these images and to wonder about how and much is going to be impacted as a result of this. what, what are by the wildlife in the, in the sea? how are they going to be affected by this? well, there is a danger, of course. i mean, you're talking about, you know, a huge amount of socializing, which is chemicals leaking into the sea that they, the red sea is one of the world's most important by diversity. areas with, with carl's and other marine wise, but only lifting the rich garren damage to the region and to stretch the fish

oceans to dr. is at the moment is on. i know, but it is certainly that i would be those would be by severe and long lasting if we couldn't get as much of that material last a shift as possible in this stage. paul horseman, from green piece, thank you so much. thank you. and finally, pop foils. he has graced the red carpet in london for the biggest night and bushes, music and the annual breast awards. kylie minogue was named this year's brits global icon to a lipa one best call back. but the big winner was singer songwriter rate the rising star, one song of the year and such a new red cars for the most twins in a single night. the
