we also know that the german chancellor, excuse me, the chancellor met with king abdulla in berlin. we know that the leaders there discussed which military and situation in the gaza strip. and also how to prevent further escalation between, as well as from us and casa, the jordanian leader also warned against palestinian refugees being pushed into egypt or gordon, calling this a red line and the door to the in king stress the need for aide to alleviate the suffering of civilians on both sides, but he said the humanitarian issue must be dealt with inside gaza and the west bank . that is a red line because i think that is a plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground. no refugees in jordan, no refugees in egypt. this is a situation of human turns i mentioned that has to be dealt inside of a guys that and, and, and the west bank not to try and push the palestinian challenge of that future on to other people's shoulders, hamas, which the u. u. s. and some arab states label a terrorist group of ducted, nearly 200 people during their massacre and

and that is something the german chancellor was to help prevent. and that's also why we see him at travel on antiques, 80 more than hinted at many calls that he's already made. so this was a hugely symbolic moment, a historic moment. you've called it. i'm curious if we know what kind of actual support as well can now expect from germany after this trip by schultz. okay, well quite clearly this, this pledge of political support. but what we do know is that germany lease to drones of from israel, which were supposed to be transferred to germany at some point in time. they will now remain where they are. and that is a form of assistance. and initially it was a request from the is ready for, i'm munition for some of the navy ships and they've, since basically canceled that. and it seems that these release of rely much more on concrete assistance from the americans with whom they show sarah, lot more and defense systems. so that doesn't seem to be the case for now. but clearly we for the german chancellor say time and time again that he is checking in w

for the german chancellor, this trip did not turn out in the most wonderful way.f german chancellor olaf scholz , before taking off from tel aviv to cairo, was forced to urgently leave the plane due to a missile alarm; passengers were ordered to lie down on the ground right on the airfield. welt deputy editor-in-chief robin alexander, who was flying with chancellor scholz along with other reporters, said that the israeli iron dome system detected two missiles shot down over the airport. the chancellor did not lie down on the asphalt, but ran to a nearby container, and from there to the shelter; after a few minutes, the passengers were able to board the plane again. in addition, there had already been several rocket alarms in the israeli capital, so scholz had to take refuge in the german embassy several times. according to witnesses, he had to stay there for several minutes, since several muffled explosions were heard over the city center about the work of the iron dome, for chancellor scholz of the entire german delegation everything ended well enough, dome destr

last mentioned chancellor charles was forced to seek shelter jr. uh, during an air alert and tell a beaver correspondent matthew moore has more 6. yeah, that's right terry. it was a fairly times and so this visit for tons of shots in the delegation and it was shortly before shots. his plane was due to head to cairo, the area, the alarms went off in tel aviv. and as we saw the passengers, including the german chancellor, where evacuated from the aircraft, we saw the images of the traveling delegation taking cover on the tarmac and eye witnesses said he could see as real as iron dome into a set for all kits from where the where schultz was not among them on the runway, he was wished away to a secure bunk gun nearby. but terry, it wasn't just the one moment here with alarm seemed to throw the historic visit earlier in the evening. chance german sensor a search was to take shouts in a bunker and the german embassy. that was as he was missing the families of jam and hostages in gaza. and in the end, it just seems to be a stock reminder of the reality of

this was part of the conversation with the chancellor. we are very long and detailed discussions with the united states, antony blinken was here. regarding how we deal with the humanitarian situation on the other of also. >> i want to touch on the humanitarian situation because it is causing huge concern, politicians and aid organizations. they would like to see a humanitarian corridor door. why is this not happening? >> first of all, i would say that there are already very intense discussions to ensure humanitarian aid can arrive at the people who need it in gaza. because you know the americans and german government are talking to egypt who are in control. also the crossing south of gaza. >> they say it is israel making the situation impossible. >> i'm not so sure. we don't control the border between gaza and egypt. >> there have been attacks. >> there are as i said ongoing conversations and it was clear from what secretary antony blinken said that there have been agreements regarding how you get humanitarian aid to those who need it and

welcome, mr. ambassador and the german chancellor. travel to israel today. what does israel expect from germany at this point to? well, i think we're getting everything that could have been expected from gemini. the chancellor's visit today was a, an improvement and crucial sign of support and solidarity for his role in this very last 11 days of absolute har. the we've seen off the from us attack on israel. it also comes off to the foreign minister who already on the boat but could visits. it is ro last friday. and yesterday evening i come to the, the german and best of the stuff inside the to, to meet with families of the captive, the prisoners, abducted by some us. uh, during the last that, that blank savvy thing. yeah. and so we feel very strongly about the german support . it's very evident that we very much appreciate it. you've been campaigning intentionally for the release of these close to 200 hostages. is there anything we know about their situation a little, but they have released a few, a couple of videos for one of the captives being assisted by

but if it has, then how does the current chancellor explain it?cellor, i do have to answer the question as to why it cost ten times more to build high—speed rail in this country and across the channel in france, because it is taxpayers�* money. and i will also say that when that decision is made, at that time you see that we remain very to making sure we have the right economic infrastructure in this country. but more than that, i'm afraid, i can't say. despite the inevitable backlash and cabinet resignations that may result, the chancellor insists the tories are the party to be trusted with taxpayers�* money. he announced plans today to slash the headcount in the civil service, there are new penalties for benefit claimants who are not actively seeking work. and despite a clamour from the right for tax cuts ahead of the election, the chancellor says his first priority is to get inflation under control. we are getting there. it was ii%, it is now down by a0%. the plan is working. and now we must see it through, just as margaret thatcher did many ye

can we pick up one of the issues the chancellor turned to today?ems to be sugsting it is much more expensive to run an infrastructure project like this in the u.k. than it is in france. why is it cheaper for the french to build a project like this than the u.k.? henri: it is approximately 10 times more expensive in the u.k. one of the reasons for that is when the french bill past a village or town, they don't let the high-speed line in a tunnel. in order to keep tory activists and members have, many local up and down the rows, and places, where they lost an election to the lib dems, they gave away tunnels, gave away cut ends, and on a journey from west london up to birmingham, if that is all that is built, you basically won't see daylight spirit the challenges, -- they let. the challenge is if you build loads of tunnels you don't need to give your own in people's and voters happy, it costs 10 times more than a normal real royal -- railway. i don't know who is to blame, if they will come together with andy street to talk about how they can reduce th
