the, the business dw news line from ballot. cala harris faces the 1st tough questions as presidential candidates, including on the israel hospital time unequivocal and unwavering, and my commitment, israel's defense, and its ability to defend itself. the democratic parties nominate defense or record as vice president, in a wide ranging interview with us for costa cnn. and that as israel presses a head with a big military operation on the occupied westbank, at least 16 people have been killed since the rates began. earlier this week.

foster, how many is government announced as new security and asylum messes up to a deadly stabbing attack? raise the public outcry. we're looking at how the migration to pages shaping upcoming regional elections. the gulf is welcome to the program. kala harris has said some of the plans for office in the 1st major interview since becoming the us democratic parties. presidential nominee, the current vice president, appeared on cnn alongside her running made symbols, was defended, the shift on policy issues over the years saying that have values have not changed . she reiterated her support for joe biden, aligning herself with the president's down some key issues like for us mexico border fucking in pennsylvania, and the war in, gosh,

still have just kind of scold joins been uh, in the studio. uh kinda, you've watched that interview. the 1st belongs, sit down, interview to assume and take away. right? so as you said, this is our 1st sit down interview as the official democratic presidential nominee . and really, it was an opportunity for her to sort of, you know, bite back against the naysayers who were saying that she was avoiding scrutiny and not answering policy specific questions. so i think that this was a good opportunity for her to sort of damp some of that down and then also address for voters what her day one agenda is. as we heard in her interview, she said she laid out her opportunity if you can economy rather where she wants to lower the price of things like groceries extend the child tax credits so that new parents can afford things by car seats and also give new home buyers a boost with

a $25000.00 tax credit as well. i noticed it just in gaza and it has been the point of focus in the past few months of the democratic party. let's have a quick listen to what harris had to say on that, i'm unequivocal and an unwavering and my commitment, israel's defense, and its ability to defend itself. and that's not gonna change far too many innocent palestinians have been killed. and we have got to get a deal done now, kansas, is that going to be enough to have a la critics? you know it's, i really wouldn't doubt it. i think that right now, democrats as a whole are just sort of coalescing around her because they know that they have a job to do if they want to beat donald trump. but there is still a very big divide among progressives. for the most part, um and there has been a big push to get the us out of this war out of sending arms

to israel. it's even cause some high ranking state department officials to resign life. josh paul, who did so back in october. so i think that this is going to remain a big issue and another sticking points. we just saw the convention last week. they didn't have any palestinian speakers whatsoever, which the party was highly criticized for. so i think it will continue to be a thorn in the side now domestically the republicans have been targeting harris on has thoughts on immigration. let's have a listen joe biden. and i, and our administration worked with members of the united states congress on an immigration issue. that is very significant to the american people and our security, which is the border and through by part of some work, including some of the most conservative members of the united states congress. a bill was crafted, which we supported, which i support. to me that sounded

a bit convoluted and evasive. what's your take? yeah, i think you know, people, 1st and foremost, are going to remember her stance back in 2019, where she a supported di criminalizing the border, meaning that she would, she would not be in support of holding people who came across a illegally criminally, you know, liable so this piece of legislation that she's talking about, i'm not sure how many people actually remember it, but it's one that would have put 1500 more. um, uh, guards there at the border to secure it. so i think that, you know, it's, it's clearly a flip flop for her. it's one of the issues where she's been criticized for going back on her word. however, i, it is indicative of the democratic party as a whole, moving a little bit more, i guess you can say to the center on the immigration issue. and she recognizes that it is an issue, she falls back on her experience as

a former prosecutor in prosecuting transnational criminals and says that, you know, the consequences you know, have to be, have to be adhered to, to them just kinda school that. thank you very much, kindness and we're going to is around now it says it's troops have killed a palestinian militant, come on. the in the right and the occupied westbank of these 16 palestinians have been killed in the operation began lights on tuesday as well. says the rate is aimed at destroying terrorist infrastructure and the un secretary general as quote for the operations. and tony would tell us that it was fueling and already explosive situation in the west bank. the operation is calling to focus on refugee comes into bos. janine until correct a, tearing the shattered streets of toys caught him. israel says it has already achieved significant success. this is the largest military operation in the

occupied westbank in years. it says local islamic jihad leader mohammed java. the scene here in file footage was killed in gun fight at a mosque is rarely troops had tried and failed before to eliminate java. he's accused of carrying a numerous attacks on his regular palestinian civilians are once again paying the cost of these rarely raids. knew that we were to sleep and woke up to the gunshots at around 3 30 am. i started waking my wife up, telling her the army or shooting at the house. i was barely able to wake her up and they hit the house with the rocket. we ran my wife and i to the other room. they fired another rocket. my son and his wife were on the 2nd floor. they hit them with a rocket, little volume general, whose family was able to escape their home with their lives while others are afraid to go outside watching the chaos and fold around them. well that's the situation is

difficult with the army comes and goes their movements and not normal, and it's quieted. but when the voltage has come, they destroy everything. but we're afraid we hear the both. those is the shooting. now there is bombing and gaza. now there's plumbing in the refugee come, is really force is roaming the streets in search of militants, have also created serious problems for the health care system. in the areas being rated, medical workers say troops are blocking access to ambulances. the addition to sliding these really army refuses entirely to allow ambulances to enter whether uncoordinated or coordinated, even if we are allowed to enter. as you see, the ambulances cannot access the camps, or even reach humanitarian cases, and people with diseases insanity. the u. n. is urging israel to ensure injured people can obtain medical care. it's also calling for a halt to the operation in the west bank, saying the campaign is fueling an already explosive situation. from all that we can

now speak to the w correspondents on exam. oh, joins me from the jerusalem, tanya, if you want to come in just yesterday, give us a sense of the situation that as well what you could see and we couldn't go into north sean, this is a one of the refugee kens there, into a car. and that was, you know, is the main place where the is really army, uh, is, uh, was operating uh, yesterday we could see the large destruction that was left behind there by the boulders as they're going in. we could see the army vehicles coming in and out of hearing some explosions and shootings that and seeing the under lenses actually waiting outside on one of the main roads. um then to, to go in from time to time. but uh, we could also see the impact mainly on onto a car in the city of, to carm itself, where i was able to talk to some people saying, you know, they,

they have experience, of course, military rates and many, many times. this is a daily occurrence in the occupied westbank at this thing. this is very intense and most i've been staying in the safety of the homes, trying not to be too much in the streets as the army also, of course uses no drones and as strikes in the west bank. now we're hearing from the is really military. this morning that they had targeted palestinian gunmen in a drone stripe in the city of jeanine. the military such a very provide for the information later on. so according to published in your reports there, a call was targeted and there are also reports of other a rates and other cities in the occupied west bang. so this operation is i'm going to and i will come back to you in a moment to talk about another issue. israel and the world health organization have agreed to beginning polio vaccination campaign for children in the gaza strip on

sunday. it involves the apparently, a series of free de pauses in fighting to allow health workers to administer the vaccine massachusetts supporting the plan because of the hospital system has been devastated by fighting since last october, leading to a general health crisis that a one and a half year old elan barker is too weak to move. she lives to on this hospital bed with her mom and grandmother by his side. been dog, but of ms. check in miss. so if you html nutrition, she's dehydrated, who just after me? i'm a chef and it has co serious complications that she's lean, pulled off with as low potassium as to didn't have blood ha, an infection in both lungs who are the, how about the us in these complications make constructing polio, potentially fatal for elian now, with

gaza in the families. roommate nutrition as the pull it all. drake is just one part of the larger public health catastrophe. let's go back to 10 exam andrews of them. it's an a 3 days of a limited pauses in pricing. can you explain what more do we know them as well, it's not entirely clear yet how this play out of the all the details of this vaccination campaign of features towards now the board has organization. a said they have agreed with it is really military of or that they are supportive of the specs, a nation a campaign that would allow the teams in golf. so to actually reach out to the people there, to vaccinate those chosen that has become really necessary of the case of poll your voice detected in a toddler in gaza. that is a set to be the 1st case and 25 years. now. we've heard from the government,

from officials and the is where the government, they remained much more big. there was actually a statement by the prime minister's office a published on wednesday. they refer you to the idea of poles in fighting that we're talking all about locating certain places in the gaza strip to allow this vaccination to take place. 5 now, this would happen according to the world health organization in 3 different zones that could last 2 or 3 days. and certain time zone snow agencies have said it's absolutely necessary to be able to plan that. they get some, you know, clarity about this because it's so difficult, so many thousands have been under recreation. org and displaced again in recent days. time and time again. and it's very, very difficult to reach out to all these people that they also feel safe to come to the specs. the nation points is this will all play out as they have planned on the time to expand the reporting from jerusalem. thank you tony. so

let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. ukraine says one of its f. 16 jets has crashed, killing the pilots. it comes just weeks off, or at least 6 of the plane started operating inside the country. the dead was donated by western allies and crushed on monday as to crane was fending off rush in the aerial attack. finally, this interim government has signed the un for you to to prevent and forced disappearances at the hands of security officials. human rights watch says more than 600 people went missing and bangladesh doing prime minister shake casinos. 15 years in pi, many with members of the opposition as germany as resumes, defaulting people to afghanistan for the 1st time since the tale. bon read took part a flight with convicts it after on a friend is took off on friday,

bound for cobble. that's. although germany does not have to for magic relations with a totally binary shape, the potations come as the german government is facing, rising pressure after faithful knife, ron page last week in which the syrians suspect was found to have evaded deportation. dw, i'm sure you'd like to know reports. emotions are running high over time of these failure to deport the prime suspect of a staffing attack, which the 3 people, the 8 others can do it in the small town. this building and the 26 year old 3 in mind should have been sent fast about guerria, the country where he 1st of all is the use. he is one of some 74000 to reject his aside. m. c goes, who should have been deported to another you country last year. only just over $5000.00 less than 7 percent of those that potations actually took place. is

holding an attack, puts the spotlights on the floor to use it the see to handle migration. chancellor, sol, government is on the defensive. i am boss yet. according to what we know now. it is only an attack issue no longer have been in germany, and of the conservative opposition has been quick to of a hard line takes on how they would change. germany's migration policy and haven't been and i think the fields that we have the right. and i think now given the situation, the obligation to declare a national emergency with regard to refugees. and in that case, the law of the federal republic of germany is more important than europe and law is on the face of the fall right on the migration alternative for germany, pa, to your a as the promises to go even further. is artem ford? we should do the folder and so forth. again, an immediate bond on immigration and naturalization on,

for at least 5 years. in this instance yaga, the government is already trying to find ways of sending rejected asylum seekers back to afghanistan and syria. but that are key problems with this. politicians has to be impression that they have to this easy solutions to the population. but the underlying problem is big. quite simply, do not exist. if you want a sustainable solution, you need to change your legislation which off needs time. and you also need to change the bureaucratic practice. pull the sessions in dummy don't have that time, they faced a heat to the election campaign into eastern states the ring. yeah. and sex any here, the anti migration a if the could win both regional elections this sunday. gimme because they wouldn't like wait time is a big concern for people here in saxony. our resources are limited and we must face up to the top 10 lessons x and this is inception. these are really important issue because people here have a deep distrust of the political power is currently in charge. and felon testament

building hub, a winning. so the far right is the regional elections could consolidate the policies role of germany and pressure, other policies into closer corporation. the zoning, knife, attack of sparked and national debate that now simply treats migration as a cause of terrorism. a political success for the fall right onto migration a if the, the pressure is now on oil that's sold to bring down migration numbers appear weak on security just over a year ahead of the next national elections. they say that they're reporting. so the new school year was about to stuff in russia, then for people it pupils in some regions bordering ukraine. that means clauses on the war time conditions. ukraine's incursion into the coast region is entering its 4th week, but it seems school kids there and elsewhere. and marcia being told that everything's fine, school will start soon for these russian children. they have been evacuated following

ukraine's incursion into russia's course region. so you can see up, depending on the situation these consume, there will be remote learning and regions. people are moving to the, to the hybrid, to hear from or in person shipping them easily. fortunately, i suppose the course as well as the neighboring belgrade region issue, air raid alerts on a daily basis and has started building shelters. elgar, its governor also nouns that schools in kindergartens and several districts will be covered with this protective feeling better on state tv. the school year seems to be starting smoothly from value to our the preparations for the school year. see a plan that everything will be ready on time is ition federal junior. what's missing in the school? with cheating his image, we have received an amazing new modern school. all that seems to be part of the kremlin strategy to depict

a new normal despite ukraine's ongoing offensive dream and wants to keep russians in this stage when they do not think about what's going on there. and they've something a stepping in some troubles. they can please slowly so of course is a place where not only school children, can they brain washed in some way, but the parents can be influenced. so if, as well you the rest of the state to these evening news also shows us another new school with modern technical equipment and approaching portrait in the classroom. it is reportedly located in the sol caldwell homes, peoples republic, and eastern ukraine, that russia annexed in 2022. on state tv, it is shown as russian territory. the war already reached classrooms long before you cranes incursions classes,

but teach patriotism and the kremlin version of the war. and ukraine had been added to the curriculum in 2022. there are special lessons where to choose from told to about so well, how that way of conspire against russia all the time and how russia was forced to reform over the course of the war. it has introduced mandatory basic military training in high school. something that has become even more relevant now with ukrainian soldiers on russian territory from on that man joined by the w report, the need of samuel nova and the guy, jeanette. why a change is being made to russia. school curriculum slow. it's kind of students that russia has a turned at school into a training camp for future soldiers. i mean, a children learn how to fire kalashnikov. for example, we have soldiers that fault,

and ukraine were being invited to talk to children and reportedly. then i will also be classes and that teach how to fly a comment, drones. but it's, it's not just militarization in schools. it's also about ideology. a kremlin 8 actually rewrote a history folk, a russian history book for high school that really now 6 to justify the rushes war in, in ukraine. and today's, this propaganda image that russia is fighting this big enemy, that is not just a crane, but also the west. so in a sense, i would really say a school in russia, schools and russian have really become an ideological battle ground. now you kinds incursion is and it's false weak, and russian still has managed to repel your brain in forces in kosovo in belgrade region. how is that being reported in russia or

well on state tv. it's really being reported as if everything was under control. we see successful hits against to credit the ukraine and military in the effective regions. we see a alleged successful or some of the terry and support for people who have been evacuated. and, but the kremlin kind of continues to down play this incursion and kind of a, it seems to be not even to the trying to sell it to the public at 14 is, is continuing to speak of a near a situation that is developing. and he has not visited any affected regions, he has not visited refugees and shoulders or anything like that, but also the rest of the president has a history kind of of waiting the crisis out of hiding during done. we've seen that, for example, to him to cobit 10 pins i make, or during last year as newton new to me by the fact that she's pre corrosion. um and, and also i think, experts of saying now that's the crumbling,

that's kind of waiting for a big military achievement in don't boston eastern ukraine, that it could actually use as a compensation for this embarrassment, really, that ukraine's incursion into the course region has now been but and in general, that seems to be this efforts to show that it's business as usual, life goes on, for example, in the course region, regional elections hasn't been postponed due to the incursion. instead, they're being held early now. so again, that is also part of this image of life goes on, that is just the normal that's of the new normal that people are experiencing these days with the cranes incursion already. and it's 4th week. yeah, nino samuels, they're reporting from reagan. thank and before we go, some spectacular images from iceland last night with locals and tourists have been treated to 2 of the nations natural phenomena, namely the northern lights,

serving as the backdrop to an erupt involved. anal. 2 is watched in awe, as lava continued to dispute phone, a. fisher on the south west and right tennis tenants. it's the 6th time this particular volcano has blown its top since december 17th. advise people not to get too close. luckily, there was lots to see. even on the safe distance, you're watching dw need see as a reminder of our top stories. cala harris has given up for us sit down interview as a candidate for the white house. speaking to cnn, the democratic presidential nominee faith questions on the israel. how much more the rising costs of living in the us and that's it from me and the news team. i have
