the the to see the we news line from berlin, the us stem, some pressure on israel not to launch a full scale assault on the roof on as the city and southern girls are, comes under renewed bombardment, defense secretary lloyd austin, tested by ministration, held back a shipment of bombs to israel last week, also coming up. more palestinians are on the move. yes. again, as is really force is close in on rough. uh the army says is conducting a limited operation to killed the lost fighters in the city. the dw witnesses and assaults on a senior german politician elena stayed at raising fairs over their security will

hear from a former, a neo nazi who now runs an anti extremism program. the article, fairly tower viewers on p b. s and the united states and all around the world. welcome us defense. secretary lloyd austin says the white house, pause a large shipment of bombs to israel because of opposition to israel's plans. to assault, rasa, and southern gaza. austin, a told a us senate hearing the bottom administration, was concerned about israel launching a major offensive and ruffle without a plan to protect civilians there. meanwhile, israel continues to bombard the city. the army says it's conducting a limited operation to kill ha, spiders and dismantled groups, remaining infrastructure. they're more than a 1000000 display to palestinians have been sheltering in rafa. but israel's

renewed attacks and evacuation orders means many are on the move. yet again, united nations has repeated its warning that humanity and humanitarian supplies are running dangerously low. israel has taken complete control now over access to gaza by seizing the roof of border crossing with egypt. make shift shelters in a sea of rubble and debris. it is fun, eunice is a ruin yet thousands of palestinians have begun to return after israel ordered them to evacuate. parts of the southern, most of the city of russell is riley forces have seized control of the roof of crossing on the border with egypt. the attack came just the hours of to hum us says it accepted a ceasefire proposal. one that israel says was unacceptable. i thought the homeless proposal was intended to prevent the entry of our forces into rafa. it did

not happen as a war cabinet unanimously determined to how much proposal was very far from israel . it's necessary requirements. the attack was not the full scale ground defensive that many have fitted but in seizing the check point is rarely forces have halted all humanitarian aid, passing through the crossing ceasefire. negotiations are ongoing, but they stand on a nice edge we of that to the size, the moment for the bell, a scene in the diesel valley people and for the sites of the entire region. and the agreement between the governments of israel and the sheep of a mouse is essential to stop the unbearable suffering. good fellow stevens in regards to the end of the officers. and that fabulous, almost half of causes population fled to their homes to shelter in rough or, and now they must fully, again,

but with so much of the territory and ruins many a losing hope. 1 1 the same as me, the higher i'm tired of life because there is no life in gaza. gaza has no future. that is still up. when are our children going to learn? if the schools are closed? yes, because that has no health facilities and no hospitalization. and what kind of life is this old eyes and now on the negotiations in cairo, as mediators attempt to salvage what ever remains of a possible se, smile jack option blair is the senior director of the calendar extremism project. and i asked them whether israel can achieve its goal of dismantling her moss through an assault on russell. thank you so much for having the unfortunately, the sad truth is that with out some kind of mutual operation in dropbox, it will be impossible for uh, the dismantling or at least the more or less long term removal of how much as an

ongoing charge on. so in rough uh, at the moment the leadership in gaza strip off i'm ask, is located now still somebody pulls that is still a very active tunnel network that is in the text i will go prospect against this very forces including border crossing. so yes, unfortunately, some type of military authoration needs to be conducted and not find the spot between the us and these really government is not on the if it's on the how this mutual operation supposed to be 7 months after october 7th, to what extent um, as far as your concern has israel been able to diminish from us as capabilities of all of these very to government has significantly damaged diminished thomas's physical capability. so the tunnel network in other parts of cars are pretty much destroyed. they did arrest and eliminate quite a large number of policy and how much fighters that they were able to get some of those dissolves through negotiations. very handful,

but that's to be expected by our military operations only. but if the leaders are staying and talk, if there is a part of the tunnel network that stays intact, if the as i'm functioning, i'm us military units which are not going straight in the rough all the time. so i'm us to reconstitute itself as a major to us, but extra is rarely is really diminished, which essentially means all not that how much has to do is to survive in order to, in this call. the kind of eliminating that possibility of loss surviving is what israel has set out to do. but looking at it more long term, how likely is you know, the suffering, the death, the destruction that we've seen in gaza since this military operation was launched to fuel. further anti is really sentiment and extremism in the region that then could, could backfire against is really security interest once more to yeah,

i mean, unfortunately, it's really clear that the competing came off eliminating how much as a terrorist concern you cannot eliminate hydrology, of course. and freeing the hostages is really in a somewhat of a contradiction, because the hostages uh, the survival comes a guarantee for the how much leadership. so i doubt that they would ever be willing to give up even all of the hostages, unless they some kind of an agreement that the leadership is allowed to leave with the hits attached. sometimes the problem with the suffering is how much is causing this extremely deliberate? it is part of the how much strategy from the beginning of this conflict from the 7th of october, to highlight the suffering that is caused by the military conflict as much as possible in order to increase the political pressure on these rather stopped military operations before its physical tara instruct, named, press start to and its leadership is complete and capable of operating again. so it's part of the how my strategy. but if israel would stop before i'm not biased,

concise is, is spelled with. then that would be a major, major problem. i have as far as the terry step from us in the near future. mm hm. unfortunately, these ran, the government is between the rock and up please. let's look at the how then if and as you say this, this operation is inevitable to, to reach the goal. and that israel has here, the u. s. has ramped up pressure on israel by halting arms deliveries or one of their deliveries. how does that impact israel's position in gaza as well as in cairo, worst these fire negotiations are underway? well, 1st of all, it's important to understand that when the big deal go signs at all, so i have to pay against for ukraine. there was $618000000.00, yours dollars for israel age, including your maintain a but also records that feel is unattached. what they have paused is the delivery of barry latch for the 2000 pounds phones and equipment that make some bombs into

smartphones. also of elijah variety, something that you really shouldn't use in a dense urban area like dropbox, if you do a mutual patient actively, many terrace organization. so it is very much, it can be a political statement because it's very on you've with us optimization to hold arms deliveries to major allies, speeds ukraine or be this way. so it's a vague, get political signal, meaning telling me for the way that the americans want this operation to be productive, very targeted, very careful. which extreme care for any collateral damage that may be cost. you wouldn't meet those farms in any. mm hm. so where does that leave israel then in the negotiations in cairo? well, how much has made a very smart move in it is public propaganda with accepting 80. the problem is that the deal that i must accept it was not the deal that these really surprised you.

remember, the steel has been buying things around for a while prior to the expected. so they added some clauses. of course, it's easy to basically say, i accept the deals that i rewrote so that it fits my any. but any coordination of both sides needs to be able to agree to the owner of the provisions and the data, not just some of the provisions. and so we are still in this back and forth phase, but very skilfully, i must, as now by just the falls back into these rated court and makes it harder for these, where the government bowed. to argue that because of course, the details of the deals cannot be made public into the gross ages like this. that now this the, that strange and they have to renegotiate, but the negotiations are still ongoing days and he's really a good location in cairo as we speak. so if you're not at the end of the process, but it was a quite smart populations move by, how much, what do you think a deal could look like? because as you say, her mas has agreed to something that is a non starter for israel. yet the white house says that there is some light at the

end of the tunnel that a deal could be within reach. yes, i mean that they suddenly be seen that if you is genuinely pos for fairly soon after the war, if i'm up against israel started when hostages were really style, even at the time it was get the next round is going to be much, much on it. because we are now talking primarily about military officers and soldiers of these reading these. um and of course, as i said, how much going to hold back some of the hostages? i'm to guarantee this, the viability, at least of which tv does seem vine days in gaza. that's pretty good at now. so what is it she level is that hopefully the majority of the remaining costs just will be relieved against the release of some policy in, in prison. this and israel has been by flexible on that point. how many present as what type of primes these prisoners i accused of in the negotiations the last couple of weeks. however, all of the hostages in one go, i really doubt that,

as i said, it is a viable guarantee for the how much leadership. so some, well, unfortunately, very likely state back fascinating insights of security expert. how does jack option less? thank you so much for your input. thank you so much. i as well, israel's determination to press a head with its assault on rough eyes, also strained relations with its allies in europe. hundreds of european union staff have been demonstrating at the blocks headquarters in brussels. they want member states to pressure is relative scale back its action and rough of the, the called it a funeral for you. values arranged 200 people joined. this protest alleged by european union civil servants in brussels, demanding a shift in the blocks response to the israel, whom us for, we have to stand up and make our voice heard. we have freedom of expression as civil servants and, and we're going to use us for paid by the tax. there were beholden to impartiality

and to loyal to the institutions and of this uh, the way i see it as we are here at of our loyalty to the institutions to the european piece. project. flowers lead on symbolic bodies labeled with you tracy's and international. these government officials insist the blow up could do more to end the humanitarian crisis unfolding under israel's bombardment of casa following the october 7th attacks. every day we see the images of what's happening on our phones, on our screens. i don't know who is still sleeping. the e u has struggled to speak with one voice on the conflict. but last month, leaders degree to warn israel against ground operations in rafa. know that the assault has begun. the block is molding, it's next steps. the manual offensive again, drop a stop to the game. despite all, did a request of an international community to us to be a new member stage. every body ask in it on your own,

not to attack rafa on the neck for a 1st come to the political. the mention of these crises will be once again taking into consideration wednesdays will coach is not the 1st instance of descent among the $60000.00 stoffers. in february 100, signed an open letter warning, western governments could be contributing to human rights violations. israel denies breaching international and has in the past said such, protest actions are unfortunate and representative of the governments or so we'll look down some of the stories making headlines around the world active as of stage and other protests of the live museum and parents to call attention to food and security, the food response group posted sticker saying resistance is vital next to the famous painting. liberty guiding the people bind to lacrosse. is the latest in a series of protests involving artworks. hong kong appeals court has granted the

government's request to ban a popular protest song theory to hong kong was often sung and anti government demonstrations in 2019. critics say the ban further arose freedom of expression since beijing crackdown and protest. accounting is under way after north macedonia is voted in parliamentary and run of presidential elections. the nationalist opposition led by gord donna, so have no scar. the coal bought looks headed for victory, winning most waiting. almost 2 thirds of the votes counted so far. the results are likely to influence the country's chances of joining the european union. here in germany, a former mayor of berlin has been injured and an attack at a library social democrat francisco, a gift by now, the city's economy minister was head over the head buying a sale in wielding a bag containing a solid object, a 74 year old man has been arrested no series of recent incidents is fueling fears

about the security of politicians in the act of us here in germany. the latest and the eastern city of dresden was caught on camera by a dw team. the front of the new campaign event tends ugly. green politicians set upon by 2 bystanders threatening our commer team on the course. number a is that most spinster. we've joined yvonne most. she was running for local office in the east and her party. the greens have become a point target of political violence and recent months and this is kind of this, but i think it's especially important in this district where you have a lot of non voters to maybe motivate them again to vote until at least show your face and to say we're here, in fact isn't uh, as the team move to another area, the nude became tense. a group nearby sounded

a bond nazi slogan for the phone with a party. then this happened until 9 with us robin was supposed to be you know, you're breaking the law. what are you doing? this law documented the evidence. another group started happening. her and her team pulling a pair of files, they decided to retreat the self esteem, outgoing mail. you see that the arguments are not founded, but it's something they've picked up somewhere else. it's not porton s, as all, i'm just honestly, i haven't had this one before. actually it's a new one for me,

but yeah, we'll keep on fighting a, becomes a writer for that. i've got saw before that confronted the the, that picture right now, the time the camera off to can someone call the police, you delete that photo, you bloody green a is that much they are you crazy as the parent imitate, the group demand that they delete the pictures witnesses try to reach the police most move forward. i'll do my photo now. that's my. so 1st of all, it took a long time before we got through to them, john holmes, and then they didn't take the master seriously. and then they said that they will take 5 to 10 minutes, even though they were told that threats were made against the group. and just so, you know, the police station is a 3 minute walk away from him as it up in the ships. i'm extremely personally disappointed and i think this is something we will have to talk about. at least

offices eventually arrived. official say they're investigating the suspect for fault vandalism. i'm still using unconstitutional slogans. i'm pleased to welcome all those lights. now he's a former neo nazi who runs a di radicalization and anti extremism program. here in germany. thank you so much for joining us axle. nope, reports of politically motivated attacks. keep mounting. what do you think is behind this rise in political violence? yeah, there are a lot of ponds i could to point out now, but i guess yeah, we live in too complicated times and the right wing rabble rousers have it's very easy to show somebody who is in their minds responsible for the feelings off instability and in security that people have and sold the people turn to rage

out against the ones they think who are responsible for their feelings of insecurity and instability. enjoy, i mean, but it seems to be a search, right? this wasn't the case 510 years ago, maybe so. so why are we seeing more of this done before? yeah, i guess we were living in terms of the utilities ation to most of the people build their mind sets on twitter or x, like it's called in all or on facebook slogans. they don't go deep, they don't to make a difference between of fake news and rabble rousing and then something like that and real news. and so they have the mindset, which is filled with fake news with rage and you know, with the feeling that they are supposed to do something against those things. and

so yeah, they, they turn to violence that and the 10 use or 20 years before it, it wasn't so easy to gain the fake news. it wasn't so easy to gain. the rabble rousing and yeah, we're living now in times square. this is very novel. unfortunately, at the scene that you, i suppose are falling more closely, is the extreme right here in germany. can you tell us how that has evolved in the past years or yeah, we have a new party the off the the alternate to for, for germany like it's called um to this party started as the right party with comfortable to for points of views. but i, so now a very, very extreme and ready coupon team and their spreading hate, their spreading st views. and it's printing something they called um,

fundamental opposition against the democrat, the, and the against the liberal thinkings. we have in our society and business, a great danger because they infects many, many people who don't realize them the 1st moment that they don't want to help germany. or to make things better, but to destroy it as a democrat, the and to destroy the liberal society we're living and how close are the ties between you know, the, the far right political elements and been neo nazi seen. and if i, like i said, every neo nazi is a right wing x term is but not every live wing x. and this is a neo nazi. the off d is not the neo nazi popped in. but we are nazis a working together with the of the, of the, of the members of the belie, i'm and they make neo nazis, their workers, their,

their systems and so on. so there isn't, isn't a great difference in the working, bought in the, in the output. now the, the, off the decimals have the, again, the new not to say, i don't say we want the fault, right? we don't want to change history. they don't say we like all those sit long. they may, can, rightly policy was out. neil, announce the stand offs. mm hm. now, getting back to this politically motivated violence, everybody's asking, of course, what can we do to stop it? so as someone who was an active neo nazi, what do you think needs to be done to prevent politically motivated attacks like these and you know, restore faith in politics in democracy in institutions. what was it in your case, maybe also that convinced you to kind of, you know, leave that scene. yeah it's, it's a long way. it's not like we can do a sprint, and i say, well,

we have to do this and bet on every single be fine. because the situation is very complicated and there are many influences. yeah. but the 1st thing i can say, what, what is better than to react on ready cubby's ation is to prevent it's yeah, the, i'm a certified a violence prevention trainer. and i go to schools, make um, make workshops with children and twist with youngsters and teenagers. so i hope that they learn from my fault and that they see what hate and what violence makes was people and society um, but it's no good before they act like that. and we should do this more often. we should do more for all or other children. we should teach some medium competence so that they have an understanding that not everybody who share some use with sam shell, the reality by the point of view. so they could make

a difference. and so now they become more, more drop off to, to act was ready cause ation and fake news and so on. and yet in my case, i was a neo nazi um, to in this extra mis groups. i became at the end very depressed. because what i wanted to be and what i wanted to see in the scenes, dalton 5th was a reality. and when is this royalty doesn't fit for me anymore? i had to break down um to yeah, i go to to the stage where has programs for extra me is to help them getting all to have some to gain responsibility for the lives and to actions. yeah, i did that. it was a very long and filed way and it shows me that this democrat, the i c do it and i fought against is way, way, way better. yeah. but then every seeing, i would have a, she was my hate and my violent and my initial social is i the olds app. and so i

guess it's a long way, but i believe that democratic is better and we should teach that. and we should be proud to live in a state which show people, hey, you can look for in freedom, you can make your individual choices, no leader, no party, no religion will make you a dig top. what do we have to do and not to new? so we should more pop freedom and what we have. yeah, in the photos and instead of going against hate, undergoing against violence. that's very important too. but we should show more what we are standing for and that it's better than all the rest. it's a remarkable journey you're described there. that was actually, it's anti extremism advocate such an important work you do. thank you so much for your time. thank you very much. i. so finally, the olympic flame has arrived in france to begin 812000 kilometer journey to the 2024 paris games. $150000.00 spectators watched at sail into the port of more,

say, a board and 19th century sailing ship that transported it from greece, french, president and money. and my call was on hand to welcome it and rep or your lips the call. during the next 2 and a half months, 10000 people will take turns carrying the torch in a marathon relay across france and the overseas territories. stay with us. now i'll be back after a short break to take you through the day by the

truly treated by western european patients of the nome and medical textbooks. does that lead to discrimination against people of color in medicine? does it result in these issues and share, right? the, you know, or the side that will be a north of bridge pass and then you get to the top of applicants. population is really fast. and young people clearly have the solution. the future

is 77 percent every weekend on dw and us warren to israel many times since october 7th, to be careful, and it's operation against thomas and gaza, shortly after the unprecedented attack president job, i'm caution is really leadership not to get carried away by rage like the west it in the aftermath of 911 and as israel's assault on gaza group. so that pressure on the us government terrain its ally in. now washington seems stuff put its foot down after insisting it would not support an offensive in rough or israel's biggest weapon. supplier is holding back the bombs but finding around the gauze.
