the, the, this is dw, use live from berlin, desperate calls for a cease fire on the israel 11 on the order multiple countries to push for a 21 day hole to fighting as israel and his ball at exchange, dudley miss all strikes. israel says 8 will continue fighting at full force and is preparing for a grand assault. also coming to us officials say a catastrophic storm is heading for its southern states. more than $40000000.00 people are under warnings as hurricane helene barrels towards florida coast cleared. after more than half a century, a japanese court acquits the world's longer serving the death row,

convicts saying evidence been triple murder, trial publications, and small steps to finding peace, ukrainian, refugees duns, to overcome their fears and to keep their community to get far from the unpopular folio, so it's good to have you with us. goals are growing for a cease fire across the israel lebanon border to hold the miss all attacks that have claimed more than 600 lives in 3 days. the proposal was put forward by the united states and france, and it has been endorsed by countries including germany. but it's rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu has yet to respond to, instead ordering the army to continue fighting with full force of the

stuff. and they've been on awakes to the sound of explosions as across the board, a conflict to israel rages on tens of thousands of people have already selected of age and to israel issued the deadline to evacuate. many a heading for the relative safety of neighboring syria. as you know, we came here because we were given a deadline. they want us to evacuate the area. so we came, you know, we've been here on the syrian lebanese border for 4 hours. the new york, the city for some, it's a heard him coming, mixed was an uncomfortable feeling of days off his on a lot of it on the sort of you, we left the syrian 2014 because of the war. so he went to south lebanon and lived and worked the general then the slightest war in the south started another general . they were too many strikes and a lot of destruction. so, so we left again on a few of the general what bottom, the general, the,

all new in both of us for the last 5 away from the front lines found school that emergency meeting of the un security council in new york on the secretary general antonio gutierrez summed up the fis habit to buy many hell, is breaking loose 11 goals. he urged for restraint on all sides. people stop the killing and destruction going down the sorry can steps step back from the banks and know loud water must be avoid the that all costs. it would surely be an all out get us little feet is rails. and you know, i said that his country wanted piece by doubling down on the reasons for the conflict. never again with the jewish people hide from the months. those who was purpose in life is to model jews, the neighborhood. again, we would, we provide the benefit of the doubt to go to declare the, the intention to mail to jewels when they tell us,

and to show us who they are. we will believe them as the diplomats in new york keeps pushing for a seaside. there is on the ground and is what i owe 11 on time the palestinian territories remain in the line of fire. we have team coverage with dw is mohammed tray to joining us now from a route and in jerusalem is emily guaranteeing from our bureau? they're welcome to add to both of you mohammed. i'm gonna start with you. there's been no lack of india tax. what's the latest you can tell us from and have it on more ways of as really strikes on the bundle and for the 4th day enroll target at the south end of the call region last night. and this morning now we've been receiving reports of all it's cause of a casualties and we're waiting for updates from the health ministry. but we know so far that at least $600.00 people were killed in his really strikes since monday,

including at least 50 children. now, yesterday, the strikes hits you regions in the country, at least one air strike was recorded in mice, or on north of bellwood and another strike and usual and south of bade with both the towns are inhabited by she, uh, and, and cushion communities. and, you know, the message appears to be, that is why would keep pushing and chasing how's the oprah does no matter where they are all over depend on. and here's the law in return has claimed at least 2 attacks on northern israel, near hi fi this morning. emily multiple countries are quoting for a see far between israel and has spelled out what is p is randy, government being se small benjamin pregnant kind of stuff as well as prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected this

demands for a sci fi proposal. and i think what she needs to keep in mind here is that's outside of israel, given the higher um for the fatality fatalities and living on as well. of course those real urgency a real sense of urgency to get a see saw proposal done. but it is around the situation looks very, very different. this morning we saw israel's finance minister doesn't know it's not true to come out saying that the machine projects a proposal she or he said that it has the surrender of war. i'm a position lead um yeah, lockheed, she said that's in fairy. he support the scenes. 5 proposal bots in earnest for 7 days. i'm saying that's quotes a to not allow his bullets rehabilitate. it's come on and the control systems. we also saw some of the remarks from the leader of the labor policy and as well. and we've also been hearing from the community leaders in the north of israel, who say about people have been meant to be preparing for more fighting. and they

see agreeing to a cease fire proposal of ultimately a loss of the momentum. and they want residents to return to their homes in the north. they feel there's a sense that israel has gained ariel superior archie now. and they don't believe in a diplomatic solution resolution of this situation right now. back to you mohammed to briefly, if you could do you know what his ball his position is with regards to the piece for pro piece proposal? so yeah, what we've been hearing about this you had a p and american proposal for a $21.00 days east fire across the ban on end as well. there's a lot of discrepancy now in the information coming from the states about the diplomatic talks and about the position of the parties engaged in this conflict. it's, you know, very difficult to see how this is going to work here and depend on without a ceasefire in, in god's eyes has bella has been very keen in keeping these 2 fronts very tight

together. you know, we will have to wait and see. and in this regards, it's as well as waiting to compromise on this, but so far the negotiations are happening under fire and fury. i could tell you as the cross border showing between has been as while it intends to be continuing. all right, we'll leave it there. know how much right to in they root and emily gorgine in jerusalem, thanks to both you speak now to me, arrive at sunshine, who is a senior analyst at the international crisis group, an independent organization working to prevent wars. she joins us from tennessee. it's great to have you on d w use. so international leaders are pressing hard for an immediate cease far between israel and has paula nathaniel, who has told soldiers to keep fighting. is the current seas for proposal, essentially dead in the water as it certainly seems that way. i mean,

we've been at this war for 11 months now. we're almost a year and it's very, very important that there be pressure for a ceasefire of both. and guys, a and 11 on. so i'm happy to see that the leaders are working hard and trying, but there has to be more done. and right now it seems like what's happening is they're putting it out there to the american and the french, and they're seeing what israel and 11 on are peace butler more correctly are doing in response. and right now both or at least these really side has outright rejected it and there's political consensus across is relative. there can't be a ceasefire right now. so it does seem dead even before it has had a chance to, to gain any traction. is this real not listening to its biggest ally at the united states anymore? and somebody is, israel hasn't been listening to the us, not just it's ally, but it's a funder and

a provider of military weapons and diplomatic cover. but i think the more important thing to, to think about here is that the us is not use, it's left for, it just hasn't used it. power the button is for administration, has clearly made a decision not to use his power to not supply his role is certain, the weapons with which it is prosecuting wars, and both garza and lebanon, and without pushing them yahoo! in that way, we'll never know if that leverage could actually work to de escalate or to reach actual ceasefire. so i would say it's, it's less about is ro, listening and more about the us not, not pushing. right now is right. the soldiers of also being told to prepare for a possible ground defensive in the lab, and on could a grand defensive achieve israel state, the goal of improving security for his race. based on our experience in 2006 and what's known as the 2nd level, not more. absolutely not that war was one of the 1st words were as well clearly did not win and it had a ground invasion. it lasted, i think 30 some days,

and there is the constant threat of around invasion in some circles. and israel in the far right, it's a complete the displaced residents have been calling for it. their fears are very, very real. they don't want to anybody that they can see from their houses, any red one forces any, please bala, a weapons there, but a ground innovation will be a net loss for israel. it's something that i don't think will achieve even basic security for the north, not to mention the entire country being under rocket fire or something, but the ground vision cannot do. and very similar to the goals that we've seen and gaza. you know, israel has not been able to remove the threat of, of come us, or at least do you know, detach from us from it's a strong holding guy. so then i don't see how he can do it with keys. butler, which is much, much stronger, has a huge backing in iran, is its patrons. i just don't see it happening. you mentioned guys are there, of course,

this whole situation that we're talking about is going on as the war and guys are, continues. do you cnn, to the situation there? unfortunately, i don't wear a year in and there's no end in sight. there's no exit strategy. there's no day after plan. and i think israel's trying now to decouple the friends, it's trying to get peace. butler to back down from his commitment to keep firing unless there's these firing, gaza and it's in yahoo has made clear that he's not interested in this. these fire and israel's own defense officials have gotten behind the hostage dealing ceasefire that nothing yahoo continues to reject. so unfortunately, i see it right now in definite uh, idea of presence in garza, and as well as a continuation of the escalation were seeing and loved. and i really with no, no extra strategy to your offering now admitted into neighboring countries of that report to be starting have started to attack israel too. and there were reports

that the southern city of a lot was supposedly hit by drones. and from the iraqi islamic resistance. and how do you interpret all of this as well? there's been no proxies for me rock from syria and other places in government. the hutus of course, they've been firing israel since the october 7 the come us attack. so that's been part of the reality here again in iraq are obviously much farther away from israel . so it's a different kind of animal that please bala. but if you know what we, what we can understand from this is that if this continues, and if israel ups the ups the escalation ladder, that they will also probably up the escalation on their side and try to fire more and more as well. and maybe also it american targets and what we face for again, the last 11 months. but even more so now is the threat of all our regional war that would pull any ron that would pull in the us even though nobody really wants that in lieu of any kind of diplomacy. and in lieu of pressure on israel,

that's where we're headed. we leave it there. never have sunshine from the international crisis group in tennessee. thanks for joining us onto the new se. thanks. problem. ok, moving on, a powerful hurricane is racing towards the southern united states, prompting officials to warn of, quote, catastrophic and on survivable damage. hurricane helene has already effected parts of mexico and cuba. now it's forecast to bring a storm surge of up to 6 meters as it nears florida, gulf coast. its florida is bracing for a storm that forecasters have called on survivable. hurricanes are common here, but residents of fear helene could be different. i got a bad feeling about this. i remember taking that direct hit. i was supposed be

moving fast, so i'm worried about the winds. we're in the water, the whole bar when we come back, our house is still the same as the, as it was. as he left the, the governor has warned that time is running out to prepare for impact here in some of those low lying areas. those this surge prone areas along the florida golf coast, just know you could be getting some major storage storm surge coming your way over the next 24 hours to 36 hours. that's just the reality. colleen rapidly strengths and in the caribbean, growing from a tropical storm to a hurricane. heavy rains and strong winds caused significant damage and the coastal region of mexico, prompting authorities to declare a state of emergency and urging residents to stay in doors. more than 40000000 people in south eastern us are under hurricane and tropical

storm warnings. a japanese court has acquitted the world's longest serving death row. convict e. wow. how commodities spent nearly half a century on death row after his 1968 conviction for the murder of his boss, the man's wife and 2 children. he was granted a re trial in 2014 after his lawyers argued that police fabricated key evidence, camacho was released from prison, then foot was not cleared of the charge is due to japan's just the system. canada is 88 years old. that was more in this let's speak to a journalist, sonya glasgow who's in tokyo. sonya great to see you again. so give me a little bit more details about this case. if you coach, he was convicted of the 19 sixty's but then released a decade ago. so what led to the re trial and now this equip it's been really an extreme or the year for this man. i mean,

he was convicted in 1968. his, his death penalty was finalized in 1982 and right off though his team tribes the 1st time to get a re trial. and that's took almost 30 years to be more or less heard. and all this time was spent with prosecutors going back and forth. the issue is that a lot of information is not given to the defending team. and the whole process in the japanese traditional system is very lengthy. so that's relatively normal, so to speak. unfortunately, that trial struggle on for a long time and he spends all his time like 25 years in solitary confinement. and so all of this because probably she was cursed to a confession often 19 day spence and interrogation 12 hours a day and or later he said i did not do it, but then everything was already underway and the trains could not be stops of speak . sonya is this case, sparking

a discussion about reforming the traditional system to yes it is a lot of people feel um, sympathy for him and and do feel that he's been wronged by the system. there is no, definitely a for men, some um to, to some change. although it's, it's really difficult to, to say why the so called hostage system in japan will be revised anytime soon. and things don't change quickly into fortunately. and so it remains to be seen. if that will be significant change and when really sonya, what can you tell us about the death penalty system in japan? it tends to be quite a divisive issue in general. is there much support for it? there the ministry of defense is that there's over 80 percent of that over 80 percent of the population that supports the death penalty. the critics say that that's exaggerated, that that's because

a kind of rig the question is to ask people about the death penalty. and i think in recent years, it really depends on the case, i would say in high profile cases, they were a lot of supporters in other cases like and how come out those. i think really a lot of people felt for him and felt that he was wronged by the system. and the system itself really and a lot of pressure because it's so people can't look inside and don't know what's going on. so that's a huge issue. right. sonya, thanks for that update from tokyo during the sonya laska. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. or there are reports items to done, but the army has launched air and our territory strikes against level positions inside the capitol cartoon is confirmed, it will be the armies biggest operation to retake parts of the city. last arrival,

power military forces, the 17 month long conflict ensued on has caused a major to monetary and christ's approach as president vladimir putin. as an, as plans to allow a nuclear responds to a conventional nissan attack on his territory. he also said any supporting nation would be viewed as a joint aggressor. the kremlin says the changes to russia's new care doctrine should be seen as a warning to the west. we will see your friends president automated, savanski is due at the white house later today for adults with us president joe by head of the meeting bite and has a names to more than 8000000000 dollars in new military assistance for ukraine, including medium range flight of bonds either of march worse for landscape earlier told the un general assembly the board would only end with victory on the battlefield. or if moscow accepts his governments piece plan, he rejected suggestions. a settlement with russia could be imposed with i've keeps

input as a warrant that russia is planning to attack the cranes nuclear power plants. right, well that's sat across and i live to keep where dw is my to us building is standing by 1st mathias, great to see the ukrainian and us presidents are to, to meet as i mentioned at the white house within hours. so lensky will present as much as his much and talked about victory plan. what have you been hearing about about he's given very few details in advance. one of them is that the overall aim of the plan is to strength and ukraine, and to eventually force russia to negotiate it's retreat. and uh, we can expect that it entails more military aids, and it's also clear that it lensky would be demanding. uh, the possibility to use long range missiles on russian territory just to disrupt the rest of the logistics. so that's

a long to him. do you mind if you frame and along these lines and a lot of the plans seems to be laid out, at least according to what we are hearing. it's also likely that there is a section that will deal with the future of the country and the future of, of the region which might talk about ukraine's accession to nature security guarantees. the terms no mathias, russia has shop more me solves on drones towards ukraine. and if you could briefly give a set the latest from the bottom, the fields. yeah, we all woke up to explosions this morning. um, it's clearly of course a sign that says sending heads of this summit. so if this meeting at the white house, otherwise the price of the situation remains tends at the front lines, especially in the areas that are helping the impacts within the last few weeks across the eastern part of the front line. the pressure of the rest is on making at

the moment is still very high, and there are slight advances every day, almost tanks, mateus to view correspond that he has spinning into ukrainian capital. keeps of russia's attack on ukraine has pushed more than 6 and a half 1000000 people to flee to other countries seeking refuge. many of those living abroad are still suffering from the trauma of war and displacement, but somewhere finding a way to overcome their pain and stay connected to their culture through dance. stop develop the problem, but these are no ordinary dense source or the few gorse. the horrible gross m. p. students have all experienced for money and they take care of it. you're just quality. she'll go into the, the court. it has all i feel like when people enter the dance studio is going to try to disconnect from those heavy thoughts. we focus on dancing and find some p uh
