fire. this do is an opportunity to improve whether they really need a mouse needs to take the deal. i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for an award to continue indefinitely. saw summer, even in the government coalition. i asked you to take a step back and think what will happen if this moment is lost? you can't lose this moment. it's time to begin this new stage. the hostage is to come home for israel to be secure. the suffering to stop is time for this war 2, and we'd like to give you a look at the proposal in more detail. president biden said that in a 1st phase, last thing, 6 weeks is real and a moss would into a full and complete cease. fire is really forces would withdraw from populated

areas, have gone to a moss, would release a number of hostages, including the elderly women and the wounded. in exchange, israel would release hundreds of palestinian detain needs, commanded hearing aid for gaza. would search at this point with at least $600.00 trucks being allowed into gaza each day. in the proposals. second phase of moss would release all remaining living hostages, including male is rarely soldiers. all hostilities would end and is really forces would fully withdraw from the fall of gotcha. once the steps have been accomplished, moss would hand over the remains of old dead hostages. it still holding rumble in kansas cities would then be cleared and reconstruction of the territory back by the us. europe and international institutions would begin. the news of the proposal comes as un officials say children are now starving in guns or for lack of aid. the

un has renewed its appeals to israel to follow international law regarding the safe passage of food and other humanitarian supplies. far too little aid is reaching people and gaza. the w h o has issued an alert after survey found more than 4 in 5 children under the age of 5 had gone a full day without any meals. these are children on to 5 who are not getting food all day and that was in the last 3 days before the survey. so you ask on the supplies, getting through, know you an agency say not enough food is getting to people in order to prevent a famine. well, israel says it is allowing more aid and to gaza. agencies say they cannot pick up or distribute food and active war zones.

continue to insist that these radio for cheese obligation under the little or to facilitate delivery of 8 does not stop at the border. it does not stop when you drop off just a few meters across the board and then drive away and then leave it to humanitarian to drive through, back to combat souls, which they cannot do with the military operations. hampering a deliveries their calling on israel to respect to international law, facilitating the safe passage of life saving relief and a renewed appeal. dw, corresponding to rebecca rigorous is following the story from jerusalem. i asked, or if the ceasefire deal presented by binding is really in fact and is really proposal. it's certainly being sold as an, as riley deal. but of course the us has been key. negotiate is along with egypt and guitar right through out this a side process. they have been hammering out various iterations of deals some more

favorable to i'm also as demand some more favorable to the as riley demands. but as with tacit approval from the israeli side, it's certainly being sold as something that has come from israel. the though it has tacit approval doesn't mean it has final approval and there were still hurdles to overcome. even if i'm asked to agree to this, do it still has to go to the security cabinet and get government approval. and you heard in that speech there from president joe biden, urging the members who may, who may a more light and most likely to strike down such a deal urging them to, in fact, go ahead with it. so i think that the, the fact that president biden is announcing this deal does carry some weight and certainly he's putting pressure on both sides to agree to it that they use really prime ministers under a lot of pressure from all sides. we've been close to receipts, fire deal in recent months, but it wasn't really, does this seem different? well, it does in many ways full the race. and so i have outlined already and the fact

that this is already a deal that is very similar to one that has, has already agreed to have, must have been signaling, you know, that they looking at it in a positive manner. so, you know, we very well could say i'm also agree to such a deal and then it will just take the government to, to, to get it over. the line is really government that is so it does have a different flavor to it. this, this deal that we're seeing here. i mean the deal itself is similar to ones we've seen in the past with it may say a different feeling from both sides. that so dw corresponded rebecca rivers as always many thanks. rebecca of voting for the final phase in india's general election has started today, after polls open 6 weeks ago. more than 100000000 people or records through to vote across several regions, including the key putting job state in the north votes are also being cast in prime minister and the rendering modi's constituency. in the in do holy city of barnowski . the election is being seen as a referendum on the scene do nationalist leader who is predicted to win

a 3rd term. in total, nearly a 1000000000 people have been eligible to cast their ballots. i asked the w, corresponding show you all to us in delhi. how crucial the city of bernacki from modi's hold on power is i michael, it's the holiest city in india and 5 ministers, brando's handle majority and politics is huge. the popular hill, i remember in 2014, who decided to contest from this very good constituency. and he went on to become the prime minister of the country. um, so it's really a full gone conclusion on the ground that he is going to win. this time as well, but what the exports and really watching for is the margin of the victory. because, you know, we've had some disillusionment with the prime minister. and he's government due to issues of unemployment and inflation in mind to 20 percent of the population of bottom to see is the minority of muslims. and they haven't been very happy to hear

prime ministers. porter rising statements are doing collection account bidding in the last few months. but that said there are other constituencies also and with the dish, the state of it's a fiduciary, a bottom to see also is which are going to pose today. i didn't, even though we say that the road to the indian parliament goes through the state of what they produce, because it sends the maximum, the maximum number of a piece to the indian parliament. and so which remains to be seen, whether that ruled or to the indian parliament is going to be smooth of a rough one for the prime minister. well, voting will also take place. important job. what more can you tell us to what it's been job the story is slightly different. michael, it's an agrarian state of added scores. the big boss get off the country of fall, most mostly from a majority of the voting bloc. hill. and they have been at loggerheads with private and still more these government for the last few years. in 2020, the foremost had blocked the national highway that connected the city of delhi, of

a, with the neighboring states for months and, and, uh, and it was uh, a 100 with heavy forced by the more the government. and so the, the farmers that have really not forgotten that, in fact, over 5 minutes to move the, went to meant for election competing in know, fox have been job in the last few weeks. he was met with the heavy resistance of farm, was planned to welcome him with black flags, but they were kept away from his valleys by uh, security forces. so that pretty much gives you a sense of the disconnect that the farm was fees with the government of prime minister movie. experts believe that a 3rd consecutive term for moody and his ruling b, j. p is a foregone conclusion. after traveling all across the country and speaking to voters, what's your impression what it's really a mix reaction that we've got from people on the ground. as i said, you know, the burning issues really of this election have been unemployment,

especially amongst a youth on information that the country has been really on. the us with people have expressed the disillusionment and the disappointment with, with the a government of a 5 minutes to movie, which has ruined the country for over 10 years for, for 10 years now. uh. but really the exit polls will start coming in uh after 6 pm today. oh, but the bullying. uh and so, you know, in the last, in the mom was elections that we've had the over almost 2 months. so we'll be able to start to see of, you know, examples what people have been telling us uh what, what their opinions are. um uh, so wait and watch for june. 4th, when the results come out, dw correspondent shut off in deli, thank you. a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. south africa's governing party is headed for significant losses in its problem entry elections. the amc has received 40 percent of votes with nearly all

ballots counted. it will need coalition partners for the 1st time since free elections were held at the end of apartheid 3 years ago. donald trump says he will appeal his criminal conviction. the 1st against a you a former us president. a jury in new york found him guilty on all 34 counts are falsifying business records to conceal payments, to adult film star stormy daniels, and they run up to the 2016 presidential election out. the man in germany has authorize ukraine to use weapons supplied by berlin to strike limited military targets. inside russia, it marks a policy shaft and follows a similar us decision to allow ukraine to use american weapons on targets on russian soil. the looser restrictions only applied to the eastern harkey region where ukraine is struggling to hold off russia's latest advantage. this

is what remains of the town of both john skin ukraine's harkey for region. ukrainian troops had been fighting here for weeks trying to hold back relentless russian attacks many know, believe they have a better chance to do so. joe money has become the latest need to concrete, to allow kids to use weapons supplied by berlin for limited strikes inside russia in the list that was not in reason. we expression as prepared, coordinated and carried out detached from positions in the heart because area in particular, from the directly adjacent brushing for the region to merge them together were convinced that ukraine has the right under international law to defend itself against these attacks. young gentleman, his decision follows a similar one from the us. american supply weapons can now be used to come to the russian to text me of the heart region and ask the authorization to defend against russian forces that are mastering and then

pressing. and he's going to do what we've been doing for just as necessary adjust to keep has welcomes in use, but it's unclear how it will impact the situation on the ground. so from my understanding, the ukraine still has a limit placed upon the ability to use those weapons. so those weapons are supposed to be used only in harkey region in word this a strike russian positions across the board are but it doesn't necessarily mean that the ukrainian forces can use as it comes to strike any military targets any further than that. so it is very limited in scope, it seems, and we don't know what kind of a fact it will have,

especially as these things are being announced publicly. so russia has enough time to prepare for that. russia has denounced the decision accuse and need to of deliberately provoking a new level of escalation or switch bank to land rushing all the guards to hide their money. that's next i'm talk from the you'll see about the video that goes in the media. may google google, i've got it done by get other stuff into that and i'll give you the order. would you be able to order that up? joe made any, a dog coloring key, more people than the eval on worldwide in search of a job. you ever use men and they can t method the godaddy. how do you get find out about on the story? and so my grands.
