anchor: this is dw news live from berlin. tit-for-tat violence in israel -- it follows attacks that left one palestinian men dead. that violence came after two israeli settlers were shot dead on sunday. coming up, a breakthrough to resolve one of brexit's thorniest legacies. e.u. and u.k. leaders announcing a tentative deal to govern trade

for northern ireland. plus counting the votes for president in nigeria -- top legal parties say it is happening too slow. as election volunteers go through ballots one by one in africa's largest democracy. and the search continues for survivors of an overcrowded vessel smashed to pieces in rough seas off the italian coast. at least 80 people have been rescued but dozens are known to have died. i'm brent goff. our viewers watching on pbs in the united states into all of you around the world, welcome. we begin this week with more violence in the west bank, this time near the palestinian city of jericho. the israeli army said an israeli man was killed in a drive-by shooting in a highway near the city. they have dubbed it a terrorist attack and are searching for the

subject. the incident comes a day after two israelis were killed via palestinian government -- palestinian gunmen in the west bank. israeli settlers responded by attacking palestinians in the area, killing one palestinian man. [speaking german] these burnt -- these burnt out racks -- hundreds of fires were set to palestinian homes and businesses. one was shot dead in the violence. for others were badly injured. >> i left the shop to pick up one of my employees and saw 400 settlers setting fire to it. they burned the containers, they burned the warehouses, the storehouse for electrical appliances and destroyed the house. they did not leave anything. reporter: the attacks came just hours after two brothers from a nearby settlement were shot dead by a palestinian gunmen. on monday, mourners laid the two

men to rest. israel's army said it was still searching for the shooter and would send extra troops to the area to deter more violence. as tensions build, israel's government has urged people not to take matters into their own hands. >> i want to comment on what happened. i understand the hard feelings, but this isn't the way. we cannot take the law into our own hands. israel's government, the state of israel, the army, the security forces, they are the ones who need to crush our enemies. reporter: the turmoil erupted as israeli-palestinian officials agreed to the escalate tensions. the fresh violence is putting those peas promises on shaky ground. brent: our correspondent set us -- sent us this update from the west bank. reporter: i'm at the site in the town where the attack took place

a little over 24 hours ago. it was in response to a ramming attack and shooting that happened and you can see behind me where that mosque is. that is where that incident happened in what is being called a retaliation attack. settlers marching through this village. it is a major thoroughfare coming through the settlement to israel. you can see a very heavy military presence all the way coming into the town, lined with military checkpoints set up. it is difficult to get in or out of the region. this is the only route going in this direction. just before we came live, you might have the pictures you can show, we actually saw a car that arrived. one of the settlers got out of the car and came toward the palestinians. they were goading each other and arguing. the idea came and it was quite a

tense situation. we are seeing more of that as time goes on. when we first arrived this afternoon, it was relatively calm but it is starting to heat up. we are expecting more settlers to travel through this area as they come back from the funeral of the two killed settlers happening in jerusalem just a little bit earlier. brent: i asked dw middle east analyst what she makes of these new reports of violence. >> i make of it what we always make of it in this part of the world. the middle east is always so full of bloodshed. but this time, in particular, we feel tension is extremely high because we find both palestinians and israelis in a very precarious position. the israeli side, we have a government that is the most right-wing government we have seen in israeli history. we see also torn within on the

most fundamental issues connecting israelis society fibers and politicians are attuned to that. things are not stable. palestinians are also attuned to that. on the palestinian side, we see very clearly the leadership from fossora, from mahmoud abbas in the west bank, he is losing grip over what is happening in the town. he's losing to his competitors in gaza and use the extremists on both sides basically being unleashed into this bloodshed part of the world that we see constantly again and again redirecting and the cycle is very serious. brent: we also have the israeli prime minister disavowing a stop to the settlement building. why are we seeing this? >> the americans are pushing hard, we had a summit yesterday trying to bring things down because there is an

understanding that these things can get so quickly out of hand and the americans want to see things under control. they need to see the middle east under control so they can tame iran, which is the bigger fish they want to fry. but this is not simple because both israelis and palestinians are in quite dire in her political situations. netanyahu indicted, being busy with his trial, he found himself basically in the hands of the extreme right when he was forming this government. he has very little control over what they are doing and being able to stop them. he has no other allies within his coalition that are there to calm down those extremists. and we see on the palestinian side, the youngsters that grew up having no hope and this in action to abbas and there's a fear he might not last too long. and then what happens? even the security apparatus of

the palestinian authority, these people who have been very loyal in helping israel to calm things down throughout the years, they are looking into the horizon and it is not clear that siding with moderates and siding with the calm down approach will actually pay off in the long term because we see extremists are getting the upper hand. brent: that was the dw middle east analyst speaking with me earlier. now to nigeria. put a cold parties there chris icing the slow pace of vote counting and what is regarded as the country's tightest election since the end of military rule in 1999. there have been accusations of electoral manipulation. this is the first time there have been three main contenders in the race. nearly 90 million nigerians were eligible to vote for a successor to the president. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world.

french president emmanuel macron says france plans a noticeable reduction of military staff in africa. he said the country would end its practice of hosting regular basis and instead set up academies to be co-run i french and african armies. sohfrica,ussia andhina haveoncludedheir joint naval exercises in the indian ocean. the days of drills off the coast have been controversial. they coincided with the first anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. environmental accident -- environmental activists greta thunberg opposed wind turbines built on land used by the indigenous people. they say their reindeer are frightened by the power generators. two windfarms have operated for 16 months despite a norwegian supreme court ruling against them. supporters of a prominent

russian opposition member have commemorated the eighth anniversary of his murder. he was assassinated near the kremlin. five men were convicted in connection with the killing but his ally say the case was cover-up. to the war in ukraine and russian forces say they are making advances in the east of the country. they have been mounting repeated attacks in the area around the city that has become the scene of some of the heaviest fighting in this war. ukraine's military said it is holding the line and the russians have failed to take any new territory. reporter: this is what the front line of russia's war and ukraine looks like according to russian state media. not a single civilian insight. the battle is the longest running and bloodiest in russia's war on ukraine. russia claims it is making headway.

the defense ministry says in the donetsk area, over 100 ukrainian troops were destroyed in the last one he four hours. meanwhile, this footage from a ukrainian military appears to show russian tanks being blown up as they tried to approach a city. despite their constant bombardment from russian forces, ukrainian soldiers are fighting to keep the land out of russian hands. >> we are fighting for our children, for our fellow ukrainians, for our nation. i think what russia is doing now is genocide of ukrainians. and ukrainians don't have another option but to win. that is why we will fight to the very end. glory to ukraine.

reporter: up and down the front line, cities and villages alike have been left in ruins. most civilians have left, but in one small village, for people remain. almost every house in building errors traces of violent fighting, but they are here to stay. >> i was in shock. just shock. i didn't feel good. but it had already happened. i couldn't change it. as long as it is ukraine, as long as it belongs to ukraine, i will stay here. reporter: a steely resolve, one that is reflected in ukrainian civilians and troops alike all along the front line as they

continue to defend themselves against russian offenses. brent: our correspondent is in her kievan told us about the conflicting reports of movement on the front lines. if -- >> if you look at the map, and i mean the map that has confirmed positions because every time one of the sides takes a settlement, they post photos with landmarks, etc. and people start verifying them, comparing them. if you look at the more or less verified positions, you see a lot of back and forth throughout the past few days and weeks. that is why these messages are affecting you because they keep changing all the time. overall, russia has been able to make advances over the past few months, slow advances, but advances. the past few days, they have come not close to encircling the

city but pretty much having a big advantage and the road may be open and encircling ukrainians. these advances, and it has been holding the town, many experts have said it's a matter of a few days, and that was already a few weeks ago. so it is very important for both sides to keep each other in check there or to advance. that is why we are seeing this incredibly bloody way of fighting, this incredible waste of human bodies and military equipment. all of this is because this is the place where these two armies are trying to exhaust each other. that is why we see these movements but the battle seems

russia has an advantage now. brent: an earthquake has rocked southeast turkey yet again three weeks after those devastating quake that hit the border region between turkey and northern syria. at least one person was killed on monday. more than 100 others injured as buildings, you see right there, collapsed. search-and-rescue teams have been combing through the rubble for people who may be trapped. the epicenter of this quake -- it has been one of the biggest sticking points and post brexit negotiations -- how to regulate trade with northern ireland. now the european union at u.k. say they have made a breakthrough. the eu commission president and u.k. prime minister j struck a draft agreement following high-level talks near london.

sunak is handling this as a new chapter in relations with the eu. the eu president says the new framework known as the windsor framework will protect the markets of both markets, both the eu and u.k. and supports stability in northern ireland. here is the british prime minister. p.m. sunak: i am pleased to report we have now made a decisive breakthrough. together, we have changed the original protocol and are today announcing the new windsor framework. today's agreement delivers smooth flowing trade within the whole united kingdom, protects northern ireland place in our union and safeguards sovereignty for the people of northern ireland. brent: the european commission president said she was confident this agreement would work for everyone involved. >> this new framework will allow us to begin a new chapter. it provides for long-lasting

solutions that both of us are confident will work for all people and businesses in northern ireland. solutions that respond directly to the concerns they have raised. brent: the text of this windsor framework, as it is being called, has now been published. but is this deal workable? i put that question to two people. >> it will be very workable for many businesses in northern ireland, particularly those importing from the rest of the united kingdom. i have spoken to businesses in belfast, for example and nurseries who could not import very easily roses from mainland u.k. anymore and a delicatessen that couldn't import cheese anymore. this work was very difficult. they just couldn't get the produce they wanted from

mainland u.k.. this would make life easier for those businesses. it would also enable better relations between the eu and u.k., so that is a success for prime minister rishi sunak. quite a lot of concessions he has gotten from the eu. how will it actually work politically in northern ireland? that remains to be seen as politicians in northern ireland say they will bide their time and pour over the details. brent: pick up on this notion of concessions being made. it appears the eu did not make a lot of concessions this time around. do we know why? >> they wanted the deal to be done. it comes down to trust with the new sunak government. he came to brussels and negotiated this deal in earnest. one of the deals that has taken place is this idea of green lanes and red lanes for produce,

going from the united kingdom toward northern ireland across the irish sea. if they are destined for the republic of ireland which means within the european union, they will go into a red lane and have all the checks that anyone in the eu would have. the green lanes are just for goods going from great britain into northern ireland. this sounds complex. frankly, it is. the details of this deal are unbelievably complex. i've been reporting on brexit for years and it is extremely dense how the oversight is looking. from an eu perspective, they really wanted to show this new u.k. government that there are workable solutions and they have reduced much of the checks that have been in place. brent: there is still a little bit of work to be done. this is not the end of the road for the prime. he still needs to sell this deal to his conservative party. >> he needs to sell the deal to

the conservative party and closely aligned with that, he needs to sell it to those politicians in northern ireland who feel very closely aligned to britain. this is where it is going to be very difficult. we know for those people it is a question of identity and some people have said there cannot be any role for eu laws or the eu court of justice, there can't be any place for that in northern ireland all because it is not different from the rest of the united kingdom. one sport -- one source i have spoken to said it is a united ireland by the backdoor. if there's any room for any institution in northern ireland, similar views have been echoed by the home secretary who said the eu cannot remain a foothold in northern ireland. this going to be crucial for rishi sunak. our politicians in northern

ireland and those euro skeptics in his own party, are they going to accept this deal or are they going to cause problems down the line? brent: it is important to rem or we have seen theresa may, we've seen boris johnson, liz truss, three prime ministers come and go and they still have not made a deal with this northern ireland problem. is it fair to say the european union found someone in rishi sunak it can do business with? >> almost no question that is the case. just looking at the atmosphere of the press conference they gave earlier, they looked warm toward each other. it actually looked a little bit choreographed, like they decided who was going to say what which is something that certainly did not happen under the johnson government. theresa may got in a complete mess with the whole brexit issue. what is interesting to start with is they went to windsor to

do this. that shows real trust that she stuck her neck out, traveled to britain from brussels and tried to show this deal is workable. previously, that never would have happened. the idea is this deal is done. rishi sunak is trying to show everyone this is a workable deal and he can push it over the line politically, but that's going to take some time. they say from the eu perspective, they can get this done probably by the end of march. brent: still some questions to be answered for sure. thank you. the u.n. secretary general has called for safer travel routes and stronger rescue operations for refugees and migrants. it comes after at least 62 people died in a shipwreck off italy's southern coast. both set out several days ago from western turkey and was

carrying mostly afghan, somali and pakistani nationals. reporter: another body, precious possessions, and the splintered remains of the boat that carried them. authorities believe up to 200 people might have been on board when the vessel left turkey on thursday following an increasingly popular route to europe from migrants fleeing conflict and poverty. dozens of bodies have already washed ashore. >> it will be impossible to delete those images from our minds. we saw naked bodies on the ground, children, women, men, and the waves bringing ashore more children. these are deeply affecting scenes. reporter: some of the survivors had been retreat -- receiving treatment in a nearby hospital.

>> today, 16 patients remain. we discharged others. there is a suspected smuggler wo is taken to jail. fortunately, we can say they are well and have no problems. reporter: the body -- bodies of those who died are being brought to the sports hall. people paid tribute and mourned the departed while sums left signs blaming the government from preventing ngo's from saving migrants from the sea. >> it is the hour of silence, of prayer, of recollection, of deep meditation. but it is the hour in which we must ask questions of ourselves responsibly about this new tragedy in which we all risk coming accomplices. reporter: but italy's government insists it bears no

responsibility for the tragedy, saying the only way to stop migrant deaths is to stop departures. >> the only thing that must be said and repeated his they must not leave. this is first and foremost and ethical message. do not leave. reporter: authorities are continuing to search for survivors but, with dozens still missing in rough seas, the death toll is expected to rise further. brent: some sports now -- the german soccer legend has been announced as the new coach as the south korean men's national team. he takes over on a three year deal. his last coaching job saw him leave to berlin after less than three months in the role. he had spells in charge of the germany and u.s. men's national teams. soccer fans in turkey used a league match to make a heartwarming donation to

children affected by the recent earthquakes in the country. supporters through thousands of teddy bears and other stuffed toys onto the pitch. the event was organized by fan groups of the istanbul club. they were supporting chance calling for the turkish government to resign. the northern lights have made a rare and dazzling display much further south than usual. over the weekend, the lines for the aurora borealis lit up the skies above ireland, the netherlands, much of the u.k. and right here in germany. the phenomenon is caused by solar winds interacting with the earth's atmosphere. it's normally limited to areas closer to the arctic circle. this is dw news from berlin. here is a reminder of the top story we are following. israel's army says an israeli man has been killed in a

drive-by shooting in the west bank. it follows attacks by israeli settlers that left one palestinian man dead. that violence came after two israeli settlers were shot dead on sunday. don't forget you can get dw news on the go. just download our app. that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news. you are with dw news. i will take you through the day. we will be right back.
