the, the, this is the, the news alive from ballad, a convoys on the severe pressure and gaza, desperate gauze and play for more aid is looters in games. it's flawed. the power vacuum left by the war, un ones that lack of security is making distribution almost impossible. also coming up freelance problem and positive bill giving border guards the pallets turned back microns crossing from russian. and move critic se, raise breeches. the human rights and football fans here in germany. the potty, it's almost all about the euro. 2024 total. that is

being have the success. take a look at what's worked well and what happens. the gulf is welcome to the program. israel says it is taking steps to increase the flow of age into the gaza strip through the pool. and foss stalled by tons of supplies of piled up on the gaza side of the is really controlled border crossings. the un says ongoing fighting on the breakdown of law and all of them have made distribution to dangerous for i literally saw many daily life struggles against hunger and a worst thing for any patient crisis. boston and hygiene is not something they can afford to move an annual and more there is no silver shortlist. some noted church

locked and what are they? nothing what i yeah. i mean the price of the open or even if it is available in the gaza strip, so we can't afford any yeah. yeah, no, i don't have money to buy, so can she can do live in the future counseling centers, godsa here, lack of sufficient doors. it's clean water. no working fluid system threatening. everyone's has some kind of you kind of don't have money to buy food, let alone buy a bottle of shampoo or so i have lice in my here due to lack of so to see and i'm an adult woman another minute and then gives us an adult woman brushes her hair and lice, come out of it. why? because we don't have the supplies we need. no one takes care of us on the slot and what it could be to go to the left side because it doesn't mean despite mounting international pressure on it, straight the delivery of it and to cause that it's been far short of what is required is trying to see if it has made efforts to ensure you in agencies can make

the liberties and claims that you went for the fee of the 14000 pallets by the way, that this stuck here and they're not collecting. so they even decided not to bring more trucks because they're not picking it up and just to be ready. so meantime, the private sector or continued to war, and those trucks are private sector from guys that do or the ring in 14 goods to guys industry building. but the u. n. c is active fighting an attack from militia groups, leave it on wife. financial aid is being dropped off from the israeli side. it is being lifted in area and then we in some private sector entities are also picking up the, the trucks that the un trucks that are getting or picking up 8 are doing it often a great cost because they are being either looted or tax a strategy for his continued to fight against homos, lack of administration in god so have created widespread lawlessness.

attempts to transport 8 by c has also not being successful. the us build to be a facilitating the n g of 8 was marked by challenges. and it's not expected to be permanently dismantled. but these explanations don't help people like the of the, the family to put them delays in a mean one thing continued suffering. and that we spoke to our diamond, the founder of the national network for age relief and assistance or in our and i also how common a situation like that of the i'll a to literally assemble it in the report actually isn't god. well, i was just in the gaza about 10 days ago, and i can tell you that that what you've seen there is widespread. it is basically what you see everywhere. and you obviously end up seeing a lot worse than not in a certain bizarre kind of dark way. if you have

a tent you're considered to be luckier than others. because what you also see is people squatting on top of what was the level of their homes. very, very few people actually have access to proper toilet. you see open sewage running everywhere. there is a severe lack of clean drinking water. there is no ability to shower or bathe yourself, and it is absolutely impossible to get supplies in. you heard in that report that you air there from these really spokesperson putting the blame on, you know, you on organizations for an ongoing to back up. well, that's not exactly the whole full pictures, especially since israel continues to abdicate its responsibilities towards ensuring the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance to a population that needs as the most. and then you have, of course, the mental tool of all of this with the concept displacement, the drones that are buzzing overhead, the constituting bombing some reality that nowhere is absolutely safe. look,

i've been in ward zones for more than 20 years right now. and i have never seen anything the likes of which i saw in regards that now with, with the loops as running riot mos intercepting a convoys and story prices and shortages. how does your organization, you know, ensure a reaches those most the need a well, that's a problem and let me explain a little bit more of the dynamics on the grounds that whole have masses, intercepting aid convoys. narrative is not entirely what you see. that is actually problems in gaza. what is actually problem involves a right now what is actually preventing aid from being picked up from where the israel is or dropping it off is criminal games and looters and a lot of it centers around the cigarette smuggling. and it happens on certain specific trunks of road that are chunks of road that we can only cross with is really approval there. and something of a no man's land areas that are not populated or currently inhabited. but have,

you know, a number of birds out buildings bombed up buildings on them. and along these roads you see games are mostly young man, some more organized than others that are caring the tons. a couple of them have mercedes, they're burning tires. and they have whether it's, you know, pieces of metal or tree trunks or whatever it is a base trust across the road to them block a trucks coming through. some of them are ludicrous for new things sakes, they want to live and then sell on the market. but a good number of this criminal activities actually stemming from the fact that since the beginning since october 7, israel has found the entry of cigarettes to the gaza strip. and as such, right now, cigarette smuggling has become a cash cow. one single cigarette costs between $17.00 to $25.00. so if you're able to sneak, say 5 cartons of cigarettes onto on a truck that's around the $20000.00 pay day. now these games are mostly only

targeting a truck. they're not targeting the commercial trucks. that are going in and this is raising a lot of questions, but obviously, you know, gaza has a lot of tribal dynamics that exist between the traders and whatnot. what 8 organizations have been asking for for quite some time now is alternate routes to be able to use to move the 8. because right now we are restricted to the routes that israel permits us to use, but there are other alternatives. so to go straight back to answering your question is how do we ensure the safe delivery of aid we can't. and that is a very big problem because we cannot resolve this on our own. we need these all routes and we need more security from these really over routes which are under their control. now there's other problems as well. can you tell us more on the internal challenges within un agencies we have heard about turf was in contract, right. and like, how does that affect your, your work? but we are a small organization. we say, well, out of anything it is that you know,

you may or may not have heard about of i, i went to a number of the coordination meetings there. there did not seem to be any sort of internal turf or, and that sort of defies logic to a certain degree because there is so much need just about everywhere that there, there is absolutely no need for, for that sort of a dynamic to exist and actually my own personal experience, quite to the contrary, has been that various organizations are, are quite willing to cooperate on the ground. but because i was saying, you know, we're a fairly small organization. we rely on, on the support of other organizations to be able to do what we need to get done. but we're also very hyper focused on serving the, the communities that, that need the services that we're providing that range from running, you know, psychosocial activities for children to trying to provide things like sanitary pads, you know, baby diapers, baby males when we're able to get it in and, and ensuring that, you know, we're, we're getting fresh vegetables to, to communities because what we're having to do right now is 8 organizations is

because the 8 itself is not getting in. but in the south, for example, commercial trucks are we are then able to purchase vegetables off the market and then distributed that to, to the families that are in need. thank you very much. that all about timing from in our off or hunger is prime and a civic to all bomb has met with former us president donald trump, in his mar logo home in florida. that will likely aggravated and frustrated west and allies. along with a similar, secretive trips you made to, russian, china have been recent days. the trump visit is the light to stop and walk. all one has labeled his piece mission since taking over the rotating presidency of the counselor to you at the beginning of july hungry is victor old man has been making himself busy. he's been on a self styled piece initiative meeting. well, need his number and the trips as he goes. his 1st trip was the keys where he met

with ukrainian president the is a landscape. before heading to moscow for talks is russian president vladimir putin eclipse. many in brussels and across the he was born in his stead trip, which he w piece. mission 3 point. oh yeah. hold on. headed to by jane. yeah, right. he met to johnny's president sewage and paying what he said. the china was key to creating the conditions for peace between ukraine and russia. channel then flight to washington, dc for the nato summit. on the summit, sidelines, he met with turkish president, russet, tired of. i'm for peace mission for point of he reportedly asked for tech support for the hung, gary and peace initiative. the 1st installment so old on had to from it to, to meet the former president and colored presidential candidate donald trump. off

to the meeting, hold on a long time, some support to posted on x, that trump would solve the vote in ukraine. the home gabby and 5 ministers, unilateral push for peace, has not been warmly welcomed by his native allies. though it did lead to a rare moment of agreement between french president and manuel. not cool and german chancellor or life shouts. so the choice, but let's be clear. he didn't do this as the president of the european union for the coming 6 months. he was not in that role, it was as the prime minister of hungry that he chose to make that trip on the that was, he's a choice as representative of a silver nation, if this of, and no other devices on all of these trips by mister old bon happened as the prime minister of his country. no one wants to limit him in that and no one would want this. but he did not act on behalf of the european council. mister candidates had an old patient about these early days of the presidency seemed to have only

solidified all bounds. reputation as an oxide on the inside of us and of nighttime . and for more on that time, the joint bottom meat of sunrise. she's a senior research fellow shots, i'm house a think tank in london. and i mean, what is your take on open? so cold peace initiative, what's his name? i mean, any kind of piece initiative at the moment or piece negotiations at the moment just me. capitulation for ukraine and are just terrible for your brain and european secured to me or brought with me and only served to undermine the you need to. and ukraine itself, most importantly. i mean, he's clearly using his new platform as a holding the, the presence of the council to try and advance his own isolated list views on this topic. but he has absolutely no mandate, but also no legitimacy to really do this. uh no,

uh you wrote an article um where you said that opens travels, tell a story of disruption. what do you mean by that? yes, and that's a piece on the test of how's websites? by that, i mean, looking at the timing. so he has undertaken all of these trips within the 1st 2 weeks in taking over the presidency of the council. he is deliberately blurring the lines over whether he is undertaking these trips as prime minister of, of hungry or by holding the rotating presidency. you know, if we look at the promotional materials, he has used the hunger and presidency hash tags on promotional materials. he has displayed you flags, wellbeing keys. so all of that serves to burn to boundaries which the even cells has said his trips are illegal in our breach of the treaties. and it's been reported in both chinese and russia media, but he was there as a representative of the youth. so even though he himself so said, oh,

that is not the case and i'm here, you know, this is a binding field trip. the fact that that's not how it's being seen in china or russia, it's usually problematic and just goes to the point that he's blurring. the boundaries he's trying to close this rupture and he's trying to put forward in advance his own agenda. now as we've heard in the report, both from what i've shows and i'm one of them i call many in the you in the you itself made clear that they are not on board, but with old on the but all the, any tools that you could use in response to this, i mean, this is the 1000000 dollar question at the moment. um, there is obviously the article 7 tool whereby a member says voting rights could potentially be taken away. but that requires a unanimous vote in the counsel unlikely to happen because certain dyslexia would support oregon. and others have talked about the potential shortening the gary presidency, whereby ponens,

whose next to take over the presidencies would be extended. but that would not require majority, but only 4 or 5 member states to vote for it. but i just can't see member states wanting to use their political capital on this. whether that's, that's right or wrong. but i think the main thing that we can potentially do, and that we need to bear in mind is that hungry is the in use, 3rd largest net by the factor of in phones. and so the european commission has a huge financial leverage over hungry at the moment, which he just hasn't used well enough yet. so looking at the hungry problem within the us, the moment um, as a 3 full challenge, which you know, it is this disruption and abuse of using the presidency. it is also or binds more obstructive positions or broadly. but looking, you know, you 8 for ukraine and other positions, he's taking that are quite a ways quite isolated. and then the 3rd one is the box sliding the democratic back sliding and hungry itself, which or by has very much incursion,

facilitated and enabled. so if we look at that whole challenge as a so 3 that sort of commission can use differential our project has to try and kind of rope or buy a fucking i mean that's inside the chatham house in london. thank you very much. thank you. to finland now with a poem and has passed a bill, granting bought a gods, the positive turned back. migraines coming from russia, the routing ride when called us and and many a position, lawmakers back that decision the government has said the new rule is vital to finland. so called the deportation law. let's border guards and migraines back to russia without the chance to claim asylum. it can be inactive for a temporary period based on what the finish government says is most goes instrumental ization of migration. it's not question of asylum. it's question of our security. the finish government itself acknowledges the new law conflicts with the european union international laws which ensure the right for those in need to

ask for protection and all 18 legal experts. the finish parliament consulted advise that it clashes with finland own constitution, which led to the addition of the right to appeal within one month. but some parliamentarians, even from parties in the government coalition argue this is still unacceptable, but at least i actually am very concerned that convince opportunities to demand compliance with international human rights treaties from other countries will be decisively weekend. but most finish, lawmakers believe is a good is difficult compromise, that may also allow reopening feelings border with russia closed since last year over the migrant issue at the continuation of the current situation is definitely a worse option. almost 2 thirds of their citizens. and a recent poll supported the deportation law. it's the turn of finish dot about between security and the values of democracy of human rights. at the same time, i think the lot of things feel that we need to be strong against russia. and we

need to show that they can target this in this way, and this law will be one way of trying to determine that type of actions from happen. the use, newly approved migration packed allows temporary border closure and limited asylum procedures with a members deep believes migrants are being instrumental lives, but opponents say the finish law blocking applications goes too far. if somebody expresses the wish to apply for international protection, they have to have access to and sign a procedure. and that's the key element that is being removed by these meshes. so in not was but that there isn't all these breach of a, you know, but anyone hoping to see the european commission take finland to court over the new measures may be disappointed. in april 1, commission, president ursula of underlying visited the border to check out the situation. she agreed with the finish government that the kremlin was using these people to try to destabilize the country. she sent you money and border guards to help helsinki deal

with it. this is not just about the security of finland, but it is about the security of the european union. but catherine willard says this type of response allows russia to exploit border state of panic and creating more in security where the better way to manage the situation with to be, have a calm and mileage approach to refugees taking protection. i'm not, removes the power from these different states to try to manipulate people in order to gain advantage of a european countries. instead, if the finish loss stands, she fears more european governments will toughen their own measures to keep asylum seekers out. i asked terry shows if this has been a divisive issue for fillings, lawmakers that's right. it just passed by a 56 majority, a 167 to 31. so if 2 more lawmakers had gone against the law, it would not have passed that shows you just how divisive it was. now what the

proponents of the law say is that they could now open the border crosses which have been closed since late last year. because now they would have the tools they need to send back these people that they believe were being sent by moscow. and so there may be some very real and, and near term results from the lot in that there could be some transport across the border again. now there won't be of a big change in that because of sanctions against russia for his full scale invasion of ukraine tourist aren't allowed to come and russian cars aren't allowed to come through. but there would be some normal every jury transport and people with relatives, dual citizens, with the relatives on either side of the board or could travel more easily. so that was a big point that the government used in saying that it wanted to get back to some sort of normal situation on the border using disability. a border guards to turn back. what they say are instrumental lies migrants. well, how does the finish government not justify the going against both the advise of the

legal experts and several of human rights organizations? this is a kind of awkward situation for the spanish government because it's known as a very law abiding country. and for example, the united nations said finland, you can't do this 18 legal experts the parliament called in to advise them. all said, you can't do this, it goes even against villain's own constitution, in addition to e, you, law, and it to international obligations. so the finish government says look, we're only going to do this for one year. we're going to call it a national security incentive to do this. and you know, we're going to hope that this shows russia, that they can't push us around this way. but it does basically on his face break, the e u, a ban on a pushing back migrants especially with a without allowing them to, to uh, apply for asylum. so yeah, it's a difficult situation and i would expect that there are going to be some legal

challenges to this will be why the, you implications. you think that's certainly what human rights advocates believe. those countries that already would have liked to have a, a strict or regulation on their border, or countries where russia has definitely tried to do this already. lot beyond lithuania, poland, and they may well look at this finish lawn say, how could we get a law like this through our parliament and declaring that there is a national security incentive for it. so i think that the experts that i spoke with very much think that this is going to be a precedent for other countries. again, it can only stay in place for one year at the moment as an exceptional measure. but certainly those countries who a may have been looking to keep out more migrants, but be feel that russia is trying to manipulate them this way are expected to, to follow suit of corresponding to schultz that we quoted from brussels. thank you, terry. a sense of sports news dates 02024 football championships are

drawing to a close with england then spain facing off in sundays final the german hosts may have crashed out to the quote of finals regrettably, but the tournament is still being had a success. the no security agents also thanks to the largest police deployment in modern german history. still the have been controversies on and off the pitch. all fever is the closest thing you're a pass to a shared religion. absolutely amazing. then the european championships is carnival, meets thanksgiving, meets holy. the party is wont funds from across the continent did for 4 weeks on german streets, highways and bars. a thought before a single ball was there was i'm during the german camp about

a contribution survey that find one and 5 people would prefer more white players on the team he's. he's can also does this. it's racist in the end, jeremy, to talk with a convincing when and got people dreaming of a summer fee retail. but also the pitch there where hiccups, the countries aging trading network street and try to call was a bit rubbish. like a bit robust. it was very robust and so with the weather, lot to didn't dump in the mood. germany's match with denmark was delayed, nor did it stop. the dutch dunsen spear were sold for the toes. ukrainian funds offered a stock remainder of the war waging it came on following a collage of fallen soldiers at one match from a security point of view. additional board or checks and digital tickets appear to

have done their job by control. the sea was never far, there was a cry of to a truck is play. i made the ultra nationalist gray roof gesture during a match. you a for bind him only for a stadium of turkish funds to mimic him, days later, a, a. lots of germans. there was an unspoken hate throughout this journey that their multi ethnic team could silence the racist by winning for the coach, deal, team spirit to be an example for the nation of interest here. i simply wish for this country that we understand that things are simply better together and some of, especially if i helped my neighbor to cut the hedge to finish it boss doesn't. if he does it tell the 9 a month. so when he did eventually crash or to spain, the pain was age. don't every face. and julia now goes moon, seem to more, not just the defeat, but the end of the party. which of the 5 about us. it's not often the almost every

player who leaves the compost tiers and the rise, i think is a huge credit to everyone on this da here. and i'm going to get something to stuff a message from the other team. frank also will have an update for you at the top of the god office. thanks a bunch of the
