how says it's 2 weeks operation was successful in his 5. the games thomas. meanwhile, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has dismissed calls from tens of thousands of protesters for him to resign, a reassignment of the war against thomas, and of the hostage negotiations. ace, as early elections would only benefit how mass i'm feel go, and this is the day the, these fairly shows that these really probably woke up in order to bring back the office, which is we need new legal sheet was sent to the people. it was sent to not, not the of the government that has failed to snatch doing is job immediately.

also on the day of voters intact is likely elections, deliver residing, rebuke to president red chip type of the selection results of the new response to the a k p regimes repression to what they've done to the economy and the social structure of this contract. and that's why i'm very happy now for my country i was under general, do not to welcome to the day. israel's military has now withdrawn from causes. i'll shave a hospital claiming that be too weak. operation was one of the most successful in its war against thomas in gaza. the idea of says it kills schools of having us fighters and gathered weapons and intelligence as part of its response to the october 7 tara attack to this is our, she's the hospital. the largest medical facility in gaza after

a 2 week range by these way, the army. it isn't our shell of it. so i'm a self situated to the devastated neighborhood strewn visit level. as with the amount of disruption is far and wide and the chief of compound, as you can see, and there been many casualties. now we will move this to kind of waited from el cheapo to the baptist hospital, which is the only one in the gaza strip and still providing services to patients, video probation described by as well as one of the most successful of the 96 months war is now or the end, the troops has withdrawn. these vial, defense forces, say around $200.00 militants, accounts doing the right and the hit seized over $3000000.00 in cash. market intelligence, documents, and weapons who have asked and medical staff deny the protestant insight does have any um, presence in hospitals is rarely, i mean those sides, the ready to is carried out well preventing hom, to civilians,

patients and medical staff. however, the world health organizations, director general disputes this claim has post on x, formerly to it's a paint. so dia picture. he says 21. patients died during the siege and more than 100 was still lacking vital medical cat. and while the troops may now have pulled out about seaford, what lived left behind is a community in shop that's, i guess on other states as a surgeon who spent more than a month working in gauze after israel invited. it tells us more about what the destruction of the hospital means for people seeking medical attention. it was such a percentage of the health system is now in ruins. and so one of the few functioning or partially functioning house facilities that existed in north and

garza to provide services for the 600000 palestinians. still in the north has been wiped out. and if there were to be a ceasefire, it will be years before a hospital. ready of the size can be rebuilt and refurbish speaking gaza uninhabitable for the next several years. meanwhile, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected protest as calls for his resignation, claiming that oh, the elections would only benefit how my son jeopardize negotiations for the release of hostages sunday. so crowds of people blocked roads in jerusalem and march on the problem set up and furious is ray, at least taking part in the biggest anti government demonstration since the october 7th terrorist attacks demanding the benjamin netanyahu quit. and for an immediate deal to get is rarely hostages back. it's the

big off the election now. yeah. who has pushed back on the grounds of national security to a can you look up the coals for elections now during the war right before our victory would power lies? israel for at least half a year. it would power lies. the negotiation for the release of all hostages. it would end the war before it's subjective, sol completed. and the 1st one to benefit from this would be have us to protest not just over the war and hostages over the weekend. military veterans tangled with ultra orthodox jewish men over their exemption from army service. netanyahu's government faces a monday deadline to come up with a plan to reform conscription with overwhelming public opinion in favor of forcing the ultra orthodox to serve. netanyahu relies on ultra orthodox parties to keep

them in power. they've threatened to drop out if it's coalition, if young ultra orthodox man lose their exemption. but if it continues to unlikely lose centrist members, either way, it spells trouble for the colors and government. the terminal inside his cabinet, reflecting the frustration outside, or protest, or se they'll take to the streets again and again. so many, so i'll call is the joe listed is rilen joins us from jerusalem. a welcome sammy, one of these probably testers angry or the prime minister. oh yeah, well this is an go that has been building up now for the quite the was already before the 7th of october. and there was a strong protest movement against the audio. and the, these people says that during the time of war, it is better that they would sit in the home rather than going out to the streets.

but as the months are passing by. and since there is no break through in the war in the gaza, it seems like it's at war with no in the hostages have not being released. and there is a strongly, a denied the and the now resigns at both for his failure on the 7th of october, both for his failure to release the hostages. and of course because of the corruption eh, cases that are against them. and what else happened most recently is of the families of the hostages. they have decided to join this protest and to the man the resignation of the prime minister. so mister nestor and you know, of course they say i want to go, he says that and the election, i would potter lies the country and how come us it'd be only a member of this fragile coalition that saying that he doesn't need to go at this

stage of the will of course the members of the coalition. they want to stay in power. they're not interested in any elections since, according to all the phones, if they want to be early elections, they would find them as selves in the opposition. today you have a 64 members out of the 120 seats in the is there any parliament that is supported in at the yahoo? and it hasn't been one phone that showed that this school issue would be able to succeed. it backs that make sense. so the or clinging to each other, hoping the election day will not come. it seems like quite a strong argument. no, it doesn't. it's we're in the middle of a war now is not the time full on the elections. i. what is the protesters responds

to that? yeah. well, you know, the boat this does, they don't have much face or trust in and that button, yeah. oh uh they think that if it's just another creek a to stay in power and the they will also tell you this is valerie, do you have elections a quite the recently municipal elections during the war when the situation was even worse when it comes to the from the, with the gaza. is so technically it is possible to have elections. it has been proven. and this is a what the majority of the public wants. i what does it come to that because clearly we have these loud bees noisy demonstrations in the streets, calling from math in yahoo to, to, to go. but if at why the public support

a for him to go or i, i may just to allowed minority of what surprisingly enough this really public even though was like them defy themselves, would send thrift store even or white right wing positions. general backing and at the yahoo. they think that in that then you know fade on the 7th of october and they want to see it different the leadership and the, the majority of the public today is red once, early elections. they want it to change the politicians, they want to see a change. so it's that change happened. what would happen to benjamin netanyahu if he were to uh, to lose power. yeah. was nothing you know would find himself in the position. because according to all the polls

a many guns he's arrive um would be able to form a coalition with the other political parties, which would put nothing. yeah. what was the party and the outdoor orthodox parties in the opposition? and this would mean that is really where the have and the, the far right in the, in the opposition is so it doesn't mean that we're going to have a piece in the mid lease. one has to remember that most of the public, it does not support a say, a 2 state solution, which is what the international community is expecting at to see after this war is over. but still they do not want to see nothing. yeah. the certainly assuming out from the final what, how much is cooling, diplomatic relations with the united states of fueling these protests to

what i must say that the time is not very strong. it is really that i used to having these kinds of conflicts with the americans. and so far, there has been some rhetoric on the behalf of the ministrations that's been some criticism. we've also seen the both of them suspension and the security council. but after all, the americans are still sending their munitions to his room. is there still a barking is really, militarily. so these really spin, seeing that they have the 5 of the americans. this is not really the thing that's pushing people into the streets. in fact, even most of the public support also in operation in the last 5. thanks a lot, sammy, as a summary, stucco and juice,

and thank you so much. i of the, kentucky's made opposition. his delta below to president grad zip time. oh, the one on his conservative a cape poverty and local elections with almost old votes, counting the opposition cents and left c h p. another. and the defendant will claim to major cities, but also expanded into areas previously thought to be the one strong holes election . observe sites so a co pays worst every election defeat after 20 years in power revolution at the ballot box read space headline searches in touch, he woke up in a very different political landscape of to president edwin's a k policy. suffered on presidents had losses in local elections. he had thrown everything at winning east on bu tech. he's economic and political powerhouse. but he didn't succeed. and the policy even lost ground in areas they had considered

strongholds homeless and that 5 voted for the current government to 15 years. i didn't buy them yesterday. obviously use the economic conditions and the premises, the one kept and the a 70 percent annual inflation rate. and the devaluation of the mirror, his hips, those as well as hod eroding support for the ruling a k policy. the set us c h p, which claims big victories, sees the result is a sign that it can still succeed at the national level. and it's certainly a warring sign to add one to call it a turning point for his policy. i think it's a serious message because a turkey has in electrical a 3rd time. we see an ad once a candidates already had a the advantages for participant playing fields and yet based the last but the touch. additionally, that still has full us into the next presidential election to change the tide. and

the policy still has both the parliamentary majority and the loyal version of bass working in its favor. told me i was devastated and very upset that the results weren't in our favor. for 20 years there was abundance. everything was perfect. there. we got over pandemic on there was an earthquake and 11 provinces were destroyed all at once. wasn't everything put back together to put it back together? the person who governs us to, didn't he? so now everyone's popularity may be bruised, but it's certainly not basin. let's take a closer look at basic, profess out and go to a tall i think director of the tuckers program in the middle east institute and joins us from a washington dc. welcome to the w professor at these local elections that visit valley to extrapolate to what might happen nationally in presidential elections in 4 years. because it does look bad for president had one of them,

as it does indeed. and uh, yeah, some of these photos about this or supposed to be about and electing mirrors and we'll click new strangers. and yet i turned it into a referendum on useful by a 10 painting, very heart ahead of the boat by even threatening disorders. that if they did not pick who's holding for these candidates, that they will not receive services from the central government. so i've seen the way he framed and the way he injected himself into the campaign made to sort a friend or on his full. so the positions victory on sunday is not just a defeat for the ruling party a, but i think it's also a big signal about our doors waiting popularity. okay. so tell us more than about sage pay. wait, wait, we know of, oh, do i'm this big, big,

big guy who's been looming over to a place called a 6 foot foot for 20 years. but us c h pay is with a c. h p. government necessarily be a good thing just because it's not a k. well, certainly because a c, h fees, main political agenda has been putting turkish democracy back on track. and on the ad was watch, a turkey has become, it takes the case of a competitive will forward to the machine where the oil field is very much to it in favor of the incumbent and what the elections are still held. and they are competitive. and, and the keys mean agenda last year to before and may presidential and parliamentary election. was that the main problems off the country? where did you make result of our dorm centralization of power and base such as the

only way to fix the economy to fix the countries growing social and economic problems that the country needed to go back to the part of battery democracy. so that was the main election pledge and as someone who cares deeply about turkey's democracy, and as we've seen all sunday and majority of the country box a turkey going back to a somewhat democratic regime, i think democracy, restoring democracy is a great thing. and that's what the manual position party pledges to just pick out a couple of the results. we'll start with a sample. and so when, for a man from a mother against the other ones, a co pay stop that result that must of uh, the president particularly that's right. you saw movies a unique place for i don't personally because it's the place where he launched his political courier. he was mayor of his campbell before he and he became

a prominent, figuring the national stage. so based on what was important for personal reasons, but also for political and financial reasons, i saw movies, the country's biggest, a cd. it has 6000000 people living in the sambal and it is the financial capital. i'm of the cd. so install us in charge on team to power in 2002, between the center piece of the bedrock of our doors efforts to se she's klein to listed network. the financial type in use that was generated installed jamie, very handy for, for add on. and getting power, so that's why it was a huge flow to, to he's when he lost the city for the 1st time in 2019. as he's done, he's done everything in his power to make sure the current mayor, it's on the mobile and it does not get what he wants,

doesn't get the job done. and despite all of that, and despite the state resources are drawn, use the campaign trail. if he's disposal to attack, it's on the mobile and the fact that all the positions. why are these all like 2090 local elections or position parties did not really around the it's on the mobile and it actually mobile the managed to secure to speak to you. i'm so big been and that saved way for he's a for it for his rights to it plumbing for your nationally. so how will president of on time turn this around in full, you need deed will he actually be able to stand for another time as president, as well, according to the current turkish constitution. he cannot, but i think he was hoping before the elections that he could, after securing the what he hoped was going to be a big victory on sunday, capturing a retaking. it'd be cities like this, probably not at all. i think his plan was to revise

a turkey's constitution don't allow him to get on in 2028, but i think those hopes are dashed after sunday's election results. okay, so we are looking at potentially in the next, the in 4 years time, we're looking for a turkey, but he's led by someone who is not unprecedented when it is very much possible, especially for a few like if you mobile, he is very popular and he proved himself not only and built a great track record is a mirror, but he also managed to prove himself as someone who can at reach be on the siege. he's traditional western secular space. he managed to appeal to the conservatives to the curtis constituencies. so he's become this really fine feeder, and he, he can very much and a repeat the same victory in 4 years. all right, thank you for giving us are about so clearly professor professor donald tall from

the middle east institute. thank you. and you have a new law possibly legalizing cannabis has come into effect midnight. so hundreds gathered central into celebrate and legislation means overnight change and now allowed to possess up to 25 grams in public for personal use and to cultivate up to 3 plants at home. what does that just licensed critics that point to know and what an health concerns, germany's conservative opposition survey will revoke the law if they get into a power we smokers in germany are lighting a legally for the 1st time from april. first, many are celebrating kenzie, you know, the pictures when cows are allowed out to pass for the 1st time after winter. they jump with joy and of course that will be us and the beginning of april. but the new cannabis measures are only a partial legalization. so what do they mean exactly?

adults over 18 in germany are now allowed to carry up to 25 grams of cannabis on them. they can smoke weed in public, but not within 100 meters of schools, sports facilities, or playgrounds. people can also grow up to 3 plants at home and store up to 50 grams of cannabis for personal use. for now, there won't be any shop selling it directly to customers. the only way to buy we legally will be through a so called kind of a social club membership, but only from july 1st sorts itself. and the social clubs can have up to 500 members. and they all actively participate in that kind of boost production with working for each individual member and the clubs can grow up to sweet plans and conducts produce the members monthly supply, which is a maximum of 50 grams. and then give it to the been the unit on the side in berlin. people hope of the new law will reduce the illegal market for the drug. i think make an assertion, it's

a good idea and all because it decreases the black markets, which is essentially the problem because people are buying stuff and they don't know what's in it. it's better to regulate regulated the whole process, then just have a crack margin. well, many in germany are celebrating, some have raise concerns about the legalize ation. well, police union say it will be hard to enforce regulations checks and penalties. doctors are worried that the new law sends the wrong message and place down the dangers of cannabis use and the diction. christina lucas speaks on addiction and trump policy in the german parliament for the liberal f d. p. project, which is part of the country's coalition government, and she told us why her policy supports this little with the account of the slow, we finally em, the policy of prohibition and repression of the last decades. we have seen that the, this kind of policy doesn't work out the cause we have,

i'm still arising numbers on kind of there's consumers. so we want to try another way. and we think that the criminalization and the united vision, the organization is the right way. christina, look, and that is the day for today. you can follow our team on social media at the w use places headlines, allies available on dw dot com or on the think w at the state of the socials at the definitely have a good the
