to and how hatred and violence can be overcome. he lives in the way of parents treat their children as passed down from generation to generation. this vicious cycle must be probably minor, lots of put up in the shade of the hills starts april 5th on dw the. this is dw dues live in from berlin weapons for ukraine. an urgent call for the european union to buy 2000000 artillery shells. the you foreign policy cheap kind your kind of pushing for a massive increase in aid for tv, starting with ammunition. also coming up air strikes have left dozens of palestinians did this according to god's and health authorities. it comes as these rarely, military resumes. its blockade of northern gauze up and the international olympic committee gets its 1st female and its 1st african president to bob ways to cure

speak up injury. a former swimming champion, wins the race to lead the world's top sporting of it. the hybrid golf is good to have you with this. we begin with the war in ukraine and the european union. ukrainian president. bonum is zalinski today, spoke directly with a you leaders who have gather in brussels, saying that russia's attacks on his country continue even after russian president vladimir putin agreed to stop. yeah, did that the attacks had been striking you creeds, energy, infrastructure. at the summit, the were in ukraine and europe's defense remained very much a top concern and been fear that russia's next target could be an e u. member state, along with delta over future protection from the united states. as our process corresponded, rosie birch archie is covering today's e. u leaders meeting, rosie,

it's good to see you. so what stood out to you so far today? i assume it's been been about defense and weapons. it certainly has on a very clear appeal from you create a new president, load him your zaleski for the european union to keep all the pressure on russia, in spite of what he called diplomatic efforts, which are ongoing. but he also has another appeal, and that was the pressure he said is needed within the european union to try and make sure that a sledges are actually turned in to actions. he then went on to say that it's simply on to you repeat that one is a member blocks decisions for the rest, and it doesn't take much reading between the life. so we're currently speaking about it's hungry. i'm gearing prime minister victor, oregon. it's been a long term critic old. you support for you, craig? i'm the way that you leaders, the rest of them have basically managed to figure it out. but if somebody is to

agree on a text in which they pledge to double sided on their support to christ, keep up pressure on russia simply without hungry. so $26.00 leaders signing up instead of the $27.00, which are to make up the entire european union. and in one way that shows the, the opportunity to severe can union has because look, they've shown that they don't need hungry the rest of them if they want to power hate without support to crate. but it also shows the limits of it. because while you can work with coalitions of the willing when it comes to things like military aid, it doesn't work for big or even longer term goals like ukraine joining this. you need to remember that as you craze wants to be part of the club. and for that it needs the support of o u member states many times over on a long pump. rosie, we know that the u. s. president donald trump is pushing for a fast track deal. you crate and i'm wondering, is there concern that the european union is being sidelined in ukraine? bye bye. this fast approach. yes,

it does certainly look like as being sidelines that the leaders of cold ever since we heard that 1st is told of president trump speaking to president putin. they won't see the table. they don't want to have the picture of this constant negotiated over their heads. and the faxes that they still do not have a seat at that table as the future may indeed be being decided. one technical issue on e leaders tables today has been for who would take that see if you were to be invited or to be able to negotiate its weight in there. there is a one clear person who it could be a, it could take up that seats and that could be something that you, we just have to work on in the longer term so far it's still a points of contention. one thing i should say is that at the start of this, when we saw 1st of all, trump making overtures, the president sentence, there was a not panic here. that's what it felt like to leave the stairs rushing, scrambling to try and get upon the table. no, there's a bit more calm because the

e. u is busy working on its own plan. we know that military keeps our meeting in london as the leaders meet here today and brussels to work out what the details could be of the coalition of willing which european countries could be available to back up a piece deal which may be site. some folks tend to live for no, still no site if any piece, as we know, the more rages on and very much and you creating territory process correspondence with the latest from this you leaders meeting in brussels, rosie, as always, thank you. we're now to gaza, where israel has conducted more air strikes, killing at least 70 people, that's according to the territories have most run health authorities. these really military has also reimpose the blockade on northern garza, which it had removed before january cease fire in jerusalem. the police have used water cannon to disperse protesters, calling for an into the air strikes of these ladies, their tax follow what israel's defense minister said, was the last warning to god's ins as he demanded the return of all remaining

hostages. scrambling to find the injured and the dead cause of the city is real, has been striking targets throughout the strip syntheses. far with from us, broke down days ago, the killing hundreds in injury many more. according to the most run causing health authority. israel has called on civilians to leave the combat zone. but the newer text here caught many unaware every police are you was praying here and we were sitting browsing the internet and the children were playing here. suddenly we heard the strike. they were sitting upstairs and half of them were murdered and the rest were injured. is a real defense forces. troops are pushing into the next room corridor, effectively cutting the gaza strip into the idea of had initially abandoned the territory as part of the ceasefire deal. but this fresh foothold in garza could allow the idea of to launch new operations and gaza in the coming weeks. if i print

out the air force attack against almost terrorist was only the 1st step, i'm sure the rest will be much more difficult and you will pay the full price on the evacuation of the population from the battles on 0 soon begin again. level. if all of these really hostages are not released for your money, and how mazda is not expelled from goza for lucky's real act with intensity that you have not seen. so it's already called him. the fresh violence is once again forcing palestinians definitely. like here in bed 100 in northern garza, many had used to cease fire to return to what was left of their homes. setting up camp on the rubble of their former lines. that peace has once again been shattered . limits on how long can this go on for? we're tired. we say we're holding on, but we're not. we're already dead. let them just wipe us off and get it over west. we're tired. there must have had no like so many times before. people here are

packing up with little they have left once again forced to search for safety after more than 17 months, so violence us in the united states, the jury has told green piece to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the energy transfer pipeline company in connection with protests that took place almost a decade ago. they found that the environmental campaign group was liable for defamation and conspiracy. the demonstrations led by a native american try gathered widespread support over fears at the project with pollute water and threaten sacred land. but there's demonstrations were unsuccessful in the pipeline opened in 2017 re p says it plans to appeal in 2016 explosive protein erupt. it in the us as a native american tribes and environmental less clashed with an energy company

building an oil pipeline. me a sacred land for the 1st bill, the gentleman of the water itself is the date of service. it's the environmental aspects that caused green pace to get involved. and now the organization is facing a safety bill. a jury in the united states has found the organization liable for an estimated $660000000.00 us dollars for deformation and criminal behavior during the pipeline pro test. but they remain defiant. the people who power organizations like green peas, uh, you can bankrupt them. they are there, they are fully in support, and the work will, could, to, to energy transfer the call to the verdict a when for americans who understand the difference between the right to free speech and breaking the law. and a statement that companies lawyer seed,

the verdict clearly conveys that when the rights to peacefully protest is abused and the lawless and exploitative men, such actions will be held accountable. green pays his labor with the low suit, a license to tax on free speech and sees it will appeal zimbabwe is kirstine . coventry has been named the next president of the international olympic committee, making her the 1st woman in the 1st african to hold the position. the vote took place behind closed doors and an exclusive greek resort. as one would expect cafeteria to time olympic swimming champion obtained the majority of votes in the 1st round of voting. the 41 year old is also the youngest ever to hold the position since the modern day olympics began. coventry takes over from germany's thomas box and inherits a financially stable organization, but a difficult geo political situation. to me here at the bank table now is my

colleagues from dw sports daniel barcelona. so then yeah, what do we know about merridem coventry? well, this is an absolutely monumental decision. i mean, we saw the 1st woman, this is the biggest position in world sports of the 1st time it will be held by women the 1st time it will be held by an african. of course, she's also an olympian herself. she was a swimmer, and very decorative looking, she has 7 metals, so she knows you know what's going on inside the minds of athletes. and she will definitely put them at the front. of course, a lot of people saw her as box, let's say favorite, although he wasn't supposed to have a favorite. so they see that possibly her policies will be a little bit of a continuation of his policies. now she did say it was about time for a woman to have this position, but she didn't want to be voted for because she was a woman. but because she was capable of doing the job and you know she's involved with sports minister. so she's got experience, it is she she,

if she has the credentials, the sporting credentials. but what about being a diplomat, which you have to be when you're the head of the i see she faces a world that is you can say is not easy to deal with. she definitely has her work cut out for her. let's say i could spend an hour sitting here talking to you about the challenges that she faces. so to touch on a few, you know, the russia and bella roost, you know, actually it's competing, are they going to be allowed to compete? now the i o c is going to have to be politically neutral. that's one of their pillars. so how do you maintain your trial? it in a situation like this? very hard. also used viewership. how can we get used into the olympics? again? we know that viewership has gone down because we consume media in a different way. so reaching them on social media for example. um that's going to be very important. there's sustainability and climate change. some places might be too hot to host the summer olympics, right. we saw in tokyo, they had to move the marathon already because it was too hot. now imagine running

a marathon in don't for example, the doping issue always at the forefront. a lot of i o c members have said they want to have more involvement and decisions. so a lot of challenges coming here and i'm wondering with the summer olympics in 2028 taking place in los angeles. and i'm wondering what are how important it will be for her to have a good relationship with us president donald trump. it's absolutely fundamental because the summer olympics are one of the biggest sporting events in the entire world, they're very important to the i o. c. and they bring in a lot of money, of course, no trump is going to be the president in that time. so it's very important that she maintains a good relationship with him. so for example, also the political issues, his relations with the politically sensitive countries like russia and china, that could present the challenge, also, his stance on transgender athletes. although it does affect a very small number of athletes. it's still a very, very big issue. and in order for the olympics to go off without a hitch,

which is crucial, they need to be able to meet. now she did say that she was ready for the challenge and she was ready to, you know, engage in discussion. so yes for the maybe she'll need to another whitney houston the make. remember black, it was in 1984. we will was the danger. thank you. thank you. well finland has once again been rank the world's happiest country. that's a title that it has held onto now for the 8 year in a row. i mean when you're happy, you might as well stay happy. so what makes people in finland so happy? well, it seems the sort of loving fins here, right on a range of key factors like access to nature, social support, income health, freedom and lo, corruption, the other on. and that's all according to data from the un sponsored world. happiness report. researchers say it's the little things that count as well, like sharing meals, having someone to count on and feeling like you can trust the people around.

and i think that's how you feel when you get it said, alright, you're watching the w two's. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news up next are documentary series takes a behind the scenes look at the women's protest movement in iraq. the can you see is what old car tires have to do with the production. here's a hands on so really indeed the snow on youtube
