8:02 pm
carrying out near daily rate since the mass october 7th terrorist attacks. this operation seems to be significantly larger to ex, but say it's the 1st time since 2005 that is really full series of attacked in so many places at once. in the west bank the city of jeanine law known as the militant stronghold, is one of the focuses of the raids policy and immediate says that his re, the troops here have sealed off several roads and blocked access to medical facilities. by building a barrier is in the streets. israel has been attacking from the air as well, carrying out drain strikes on targets, including this call that was hit near janine. the as riley army released this footage of another strike from the silver all refugee camp that it said killed full militants. this man was wounded in that attack,
8:03 pm
which he said killed his family members. the society which would be my wife, asked me what happens. i think it happened, i told her and asked her to go and check on the children on the rooftop now cuz i will not wait long as you move on to the rooftop of to found the 3 of our children to we my, the rest in peace one was injured that they took into the hospital and hopefully he'll be a little going to so it's not yet clear how long these really operation in the west bank might last the palestinian authority. it's condemned it as a serious escalation, an uh, the us to intervene. earlier i asked our correspondence on your kramer and jerusalem, what israel is trying to achieve with these biggest raids in close to 2 decades and the occupied westbank. the line as they say are, these are the biggest or, you know, counter terrorism operation. right now they're carrying out the,
8:04 pm
mainly in the northern part of the west bank because we heard like jeanine area to a car, him area, but also novelist and to boss. these cities and places in the northern or westbank . now the military said they have been an uptick off as they've put it, a tax emanating from these places in israel, but also on is where the troops uh, operating in the occupied a westbound. and also that these areas where i floated, as uh, they said with weapons of i, yvonne, now we are getting reports here that heavy fighting is still going on in as some of these places fighting between the twins and the is really military of residents. they have said that the entrance was blocked from the palestinian prime minister's office. there was a statement about the warning that the access to hospitals is not given in certain areas. also, the military has used a drones in some of these area. so this was why is it condemned by the policy,
8:05 pm
you know, sorry to that's within part of the westbank and also how boss has called for a general mobilization. this comes, of course, on the back to of, of a very tense situation for palestinians in the occupied westbank with a day the rates going on for many, many months. now the, the a very dia, economic situation closes in the west bank and increasing settler violence. and the united nations has just more and again, also that this could deepen the, as i put it already, cut us traffic situation in the occupied westbank. i want to talk about timing here because these far negotiations between israel and how moss are supposed to restart today, and they'll walk there be a link or i think it's very hard at the moment to put a link on on that. but i mean, if this escalation goes for the, it certainly could have some sort of impact also on these tools. but having said
8:06 pm
that, we don't know where these talks stand at the moment. we're getting different sick notes from the mediators on the one hand, but also from as well and time us of the united states where very optimistic in the tones last week that actually wanted to have a dia concluded by last week that would include an end to the board ceasefire and the release of the hostages, but this was not picked up or shared by israel and how much they still cannot agree on certain of the sticking points. so the longer of course, a, this goes on and we also have to say the board and gaza is continuing. this could have an impact on these talks so far they're continuing. but there is also no re a pro quest at the moment, at least reported from these talks. the delay is tonya kramer. andrews, i'm always great speaking to you. thank you so much. japan is bracing for the

8:08 pm

8:09 pm
world today. israel's military is free to hostage who had been held in the gaza strip by him. austin's last october guide for han, oconee was found alone in a tunnel and southern garza who was welcomed home by his large bed. when the arab family and the village of cardboard firefighters in southern italy are searching for a mother and son who went missing after an attend storm triggered landslides in the town of sun for nature. the lance lives for as many parts of the town and mont and destroyed vehicles, or the new british prime minister, care storm or has been visiting berlin, chancellor. all shots receipts dormer with full military honors. stormer is hoping talks will help reset relations between the u. k. and the european union ties have been strained since breakfast when britain left the you parents is raising the curtain on the paralympic games. the opening ceremony for the competition is just
8:10 pm
gotten underway. the games will make use of many of the venue is used for the olympics already. more than 4000 athletes with disabilities are competing for gold, silver and bronze metals. organizers say, nearly 2000000 tickets have been sold so far. now the city is hoping to spotlight its work to make the games more accessible than ever before. but adapting a city like paris is no easy task. our corresponding rosie virtue, it has this report from the french capital manage city has all which shots for the move? no, the french wheelchair basketball or is taking the time from training to spread some power, olympic spirit among volunteers, and local kids. here in this power as neighborhood, it's important to for me to finally get the real of feelings about right on big sports. that's the sports like all sports. we work hard like
8:11 pm
all the updates for some the excitement is own ready, potable i'm so lucky to live in paris because torres are coming from all over. i'm paying a lot of money to see the games. i can just watch some of my balcony. but the taste recession is also an eye opener for these players. we saw to disability is a said to not list it gives you an idea of what wheelchair use this field every day as part of its power olympic preparation. the french capital has been trying to make those day to day experiences better. the city has been pouring millions into accessibility adaptations, renovating sports centers, creating hundreds of new disabled parking spaces, widening pathways, and adding more infrastructure for people with visual impairments. now all the buses are accessible all the time where it is accessible. we have
8:12 pm
a lot of taxes accessible because we invest the game and the we want to the, the games to be an opportunity for us to times that. but the change hasn't reached all parts of time. the metro 1st built in 1900 remains largely in accessible with many of those with reduced to ability less to struggle through the dense net to work daily. the city has been offering alternative shuttle routes to the games upon request, but from another not doesn't go far enough. me. a lot of people like me, we don't have a problem with our disabilities. it's really where we are. that's we cannot make us more comfortable or not with our disability. she says she's confident things will get specter because she keeps talking about it to make sure that starting the line. the paralympics truly leaves their mark on paris and rosie verger and
8:13 pm
who fall that report joins is now from paris, rosie of less than 3 weeks since parents wrapped up the olympic games. is that excitement still palpable on the eve of the paralympics? yeah, well let me send you my postcard from power. as the sun has been beating died here all day, there's a really upbeat atmosphere across the city. i did speak to one passer by just bear . he said he felt there was a lot less height. that is the live big gaze, but overall, pretty good mood perhaps, with the exception of those that are trying to get anywhere anytime quickly. and that's because there are lots of rows, close sizes of police officers, is forced to reinforce the security of the power olympic opening ceremony. and it's a ceremony like no other paralympic one in the past because like in the olympics, the athletes will be coming out of the stadium into the street. so we're going to see uh, thousands of power olympians parading down the famous street in paris. the shows of these a for more than 160 delegations on already on thursday. the 1st metals will be up
8:14 pm
for grabs it power type, window, power, swimming and power table, tennis. now, rosie paris went above and beyond. to prepare for these olympics, they wanted to set an example on the international stage. but as you pointed out in that report, i think it's critical as the metro remains largely and accessible to people with reduced mobility. why did they just forget about it? yeah it's, it was really striking to me even this evening i was going through the metro and saw there were signs offering as advertising tickets for the part. let's fix the right to 1000000 tickets has been sold, but they're still about half a 1000000 up for grabs. from as little as 50 in yours, but of course, how do i run it to see those advertisements in a place which remains really largely and accessible? we've heard from some official saying it's just very difficult. it's a very old system and there's problems with who's responsible for what different levels of government. in fact we heard from the mastermind behind the sarah,
8:15 pm
the opening ceremony of the paralympics saying that it's really all about for hipaa theme of power adults. power dark circles at paris as a safety hosting the power olympics remains to some extent and accessible dis, despite the efforts that have been put in place. and he said he also this. the mastermind behind the opening ceremony wants to get out of what he called her lising cliches that you shouldn't have to feel like a hero just by trying to get from one floor to the other. these are systemic barriers which are faced by particular people with any sort of reduced mobility. no, we do hear from powers officials. they say they are trying to make sure this legacy of these game will continue. and they'll be trying to make sure the city becomes even more accessible in future. this event is playing out against the back of, of an unprecedented political crisis in france. is that going to affect, or is that threatening to affect the paralympic games? spastic. there is a danger that it might distract from the games, at least, to some extent. we even have already the far left party here in front,
8:16 pm
calling for big demonstrations on the 7th of september. that's one of the last days of the paralympics. here in paris, i think on the other hand, what we're likely to see that and manual macro and the french president who really is in broiled in a never before seen political crisis pass after small collections last month, provided no clear winner. well, he will be trying to really, i think, hope that the games instead provide a dose of feel good, a bit of distraction from that political crisis troubles all that i'm sure he'll be trying to focus on lifting the games because that was the billing is rosy. inverter and in paris, thank you so much. hundreds of thousands of dead fish have washed up on the shores of progress. safety cause gulf in greece over the last few days. as you're about to see the threats of water with fish, carcases spans kilometers according to experts, some fresh water fish do dine here when currents pull them from nearby lakes into
8:17 pm
the gulf. salty water. local residents say the stench is alarming. they fear it could impact their businesses that rely heavily on tours, especially at this time of year. local authorities have already cleaned up 40 tons of dead fish under now investigating would cause them to die in such large numbers . our correspondents, sophia, cliff donkeys following the story from athens high. so for your good to see you again, and these are truly striking images. how could this happen is indeed very shocking uh images. so um, after the storm samuel and the leaves left september, the regional specially in central greece wherever flooded and various freshwater, there's work transported through candles and rivers. and by now the level and quantity of water has been reduced. so what happens is that the fish that will left in this low level are not falling into the policy because golf into to nominate is
8:18 pm
not very intense. these are fresh water fish, so which, when they come in contact with and obviously the environmental them which is the sea water, of course they, they die because of the difference and so on and see how are the authorities dealing with this well, yeah, 3rd use and to address the problem immediately and restore the environmental balance in the area. what is happening right now the, the operation to clean the cost area off bolos from the thousands of the base started already and continues and it is expected to continue fall the next stage at least. and most importantly, the car, the barrier from the lake has been closed by now, and a special marker has been installed. so it can present the depth is to come into the body because go it. so does that mean the worst is over now, or do you expect more dead fish to wash or, as well as the, as a very has been close by now, yes,
8:19 pm
that would mean that the worst is, is, is, is not expect to be worse. sorry. that this doesn't mean that it is the solution because as soon as would be open again, we would have the same situation. however, as you mentioned already, the issue right now is the business is the tourism. let's remember the grease and especially the region of especially and bolos is in the middle of the summer season . the middle of the high peak all the season. so this causes other problems as well . and of course, and we citizens, and there's more to come in the upcoming days. can this be linked to climate change? um, well to, to establish a dirt link between the dead fish year after the slot and climate change that would be necessary to have a detailed environmental assessment. this would involve them analyzing the water
8:20 pm
quality, the temperature, the, the levels of pollution, of course, and very importantly, and the ecological changes over time. and they are investigations running right now because they are the experts that say that the fish cannot survive because of this differences of the, to lindsey, there are other voices as well hub and the other side to say the fish were already get in the lake. so this has to be investigated to find out how the flux and how the consequences are now having an impact on that situation. because the w, sophia clift, hockey in athens, thanks so much. i, a police in france have released telegram boss powell der off after holding him in cost of a for 96 hours the maximum amount of time he's been transferred to a court for questioning. now russian border of was arrested in paris on sunday was
8:21 pm
the courts now as to design whether he will be indicted for it lives, illegal activities on telegram the platform responded to saying a platform or it's owner cannot be blamed for the misuse of the service by 3rd parties now under aust detainment came as part of an inquiry opened last month involving 12 alleged criminal violations including complicity in selling child sexual abuse, material complicity and drug trafficking fraud abetting, organized crime and transactions and refusing to share information with investigators when required by law for example, to combat terrorism. we now cross over to natalia across the why she's a tech senior counsel in new york, natalia. we just heard about some of the accusations. what makes telegram attractive for illegal activities? thank you for having, you know, it's hard to speculate on uh uh, you know,
8:22 pm
criminals and what they think and why they liked them so much. but certainly 5, a lot of has advertised it as an attractive platform for in terms of its security that the communications are private and secure. and also that he does and called fair rate with governments. so your information is safe with him. however, as soon as society has pointed out over the years that it's not quite true. the telegram boss is being questioned by a judge right now the company and says that that the people behind the platform cannot be held responsible for what 3rd parties do with it. is that correct? as well? i'm not an expert on french law, but i know that countries have a variety also legal frameworks when it comes to 3rd party liabilities. some countries like us tend to be less sort of, uh, looking into uh, you know, uh, exempting companies from liabilities in some countries would actually hold companies liable if it was
8:23 pm
a knowledge of criminal activity happening in the case of the daughter of and telegram we know that they have been aware of uh, you know, some of the harmful activities happening on the platform and civil society has raised this as well over the years in terms of abuse and harassment and dogs. thing that's been happening and do have, has ignored the us and you know what our concerns, other platforms do implement more control and make efforts to comply with laws. why is telegram less cooperative? you think? certainly peer companies like my facebook. uh, google, right? they have implemented over the years, policies, human rights frameworks that they follow when it comes to content. mother ration sharing information with governments. telegram hasn't implemented such policies. unfortunately, what we understand is that everything the telegram dies is based on the door of
8:24 pm
personal philosophy. his personal views on freedom of expression and privacy. and as we have pointed out, a lot of this of use and policies that they have implemented are quite deficient, right? there's a lack of, of, for until the end encryption on the platform. so the messages are actually not fully protected, and there is basically a lack of consistent content governance measures. and so that leads door of actually personally quite vulnerable to this kind of requests and with potential colors and by governments from france to russia to beyond, were you surprised to see him arrested? and it was quite surprising. it's an unprecedented situation where i had those, this major social media company has been arrested. it's, it's, it's concerning developments, certainly. and we were really afraid that it could set a set a bad precedent. however, we also have been quite critical of telegram its lack of basic security measures
8:25 pm
and is lack of cooperation address with governments, but also with civil society and vulnerable users of the platform. what could be the consequences for it and telegram and as users? so we are hearing a lot from our constituents or civil society members that we work with. they're quite concerned that because their communication is in fact not fully encrypted. it's not protected. and only secret childs have being protected. we've and twin encryption door of actually has a key, right? he has a password or the ride back to basically i've government gets access to that. they can get, they can read people's communications. and so that is a huge concern that he can be a course and such a way as to share whether that's a little awful request by government or perhaps disproportionate unlawful requests
8:26 pm
. and he may be forced to give out this personal sensitive information about the user's technical counsel, natalia crap about in new york. thank you so much for all those very interesting insights. thank you. now, before we go, let's take a look at a festival in spain. we're chaos reigns supreme. this is the last, don't want be not food 5 festival. what is now a joined annual event actually started as a food fight between friends. needless to say, it has grown over the years and thousands come to the spanish town. a renewal of these days, turning the streets into saucer, looks like a guaranteed way of releasing your enter a 10 year old of us. 3 and a reminder of our top story at this hour or at least 10 fellows. damian, have been killed in a 9th of is really raised and strikes and the occupied westbank is really army says
