shows troops pressing forward with it's offensive on rap a israel says it's part of its campaign to eliminate from us. we are continuing on our mission and rough uh as part of the war aims because the last 4 and the last 4 battalions of come up so that we will destroy them. he's ready full series of order. the evacuation of more than a 100000 palestinians from pots or rafa ahead of its operations. they've been directed to places like me was the worst school on a make shift. 10 camp is being set up. the when says the site isn't ready to shelter people. these really minute 3 has closed the rapid border crossing in no controls or roots in or out of gaza in response. israel's closest ally and main licksey supply of the west has pulled some width and shipments i want. it's also reviewing other military aid secretary defense lloyd austin told lawmakers at

a hearing that was briefly interrupted by pro palestinian protest is going to continue to do what's necessary to ensure that israel has a means to defend itself. but that said, we are currently reviewing some near term security assistance shipments in the context of unfolding events in rasa or statement. the united states is still pushing for a seat by a deal or a mouse agreed to a proposal from egypt and cut out this week. but israel says it's the mountains have not being met. now that is ready, full series have entered rafa hopes for a potential pause and the fighting of hanging. the balance to sam rose, but the un release agency for palestinians on ross told me what he is seeing and rough. i mean, the situation in rough uh today is as difficult as its been since the 7th and also

but people are faced with constant showing constant bombardment system very distress the very vulnerable population, both inside and outside of the evacuation zones. we have about one of the 1000000 people inside rough or we estimate that a 100000 of them have already uh, up to a 100000 of them have, have already moved getting what they're, they're experiencing so right desperate situation. a very scatterbrain, from level population and, and just for some clarification for audience, israel has said that it's evacuating people in the eastern part of rafa. can you tell us? are people staying put in in other parts of the city for now? yeah, absolutely. i mean, this rose to cloud and evacuation zone of about a 100000 people. we are witnessing people leaving from inside the zone, but also people from outside of the evacuations on where we are, which is about 3 kilometers west of the evacuation zone. we see some of the areas

spinning outs, we see some people trends that thing as well as areas as, as 10 as pups for tens and shacks opened out. people move in and then a few hours later at the bottom and intensifies that. they move on again, so it's people on the move constantly from inside and from outside of the occupation area. as people say, the worst i want to ask you about the conditions in the place has their headings. some of these, what is real calls? humanitarian zones, is it clear from what you're hearing, whether there is, in fact enough shelter, food and water for people when they do arrive there? i know there is not enough. their conditions are atrocious. the conditions are squalid. they're essentially 2 areas that people are being told off face areas. these are milwaukee to send you essentially that aren't fit for human habitation. there's no ability to access more to started taishan. you can see the clips on your screen right now. these are desperate desperate arrows. the other areas that people

have being pushed adults, it goes to a con, eunice, which has been subjects to an intense and savage bombardment over the past several weeks. people that going back to the palm doubt ruins of, of toby's buildings faced with a high risk of unexploded bones, unexploded ordnance. so these are the choices that people face single with like stay why they are. and they say there's what they've seen happen in other parts of jobs have repeatedly over the past 7 months. and just before i let you go, i'd like to get a quick update on the aid situation. israel says it opens the crim shalom crossing on wednesday and on right initially said that it couldn't receive aid there because of continued bombardments in the area. is that still the case? or are we now seeing you mandatory and aid entering there? that remains the case in relation to rush rough. uh and the term shalom absolutely . the crossing the variety side of the crossing was open on wednesday yesterday,

but it wasn't functioning. no it. but let's see, for, under uh, the largest agency for any agencies to enter the area and bring and bring the supplies are to real reasons for that. one off the security conditions on the ground. this is in the midst of an intense military operation, such as the practicalities of doing that very, very difficult, but the other one and the point i'd like to leave you with these is in relation to fuel. the fuel is coming into the garza soon since, since the weekend, and without that fuel, we simply wouldn't be able to move those, those goods around. but more importantly than moving the goods around is our ability to power was a wells, hospitals, electricity for health sensors and generate system no fuel, no goods coming into a gas that unfortunately again, today, at least not for rough uh, terminal santa rosa's, thank you so much for that update that a sam rose with unreal anger over the war and gaza has cast a shadow over one of the world's biggest entertainment spectacles. 0 vision song,

contest being held in sweden. organizers have so far, refused calls to exclude israel represented this. here by the 20 year old singer aiden golden. thousands of protesters have gathered in the host city momo before your old vision. second, semi final show begins in just a few hours with israel still in the line of swedish authorities have tightened security in the run up to saturdays, final christians anchor of the german public broadcaster a r d, spoke to me earlier from the noisy protest in mama or you may see it right behind my back about the demonstration is ongoing and installing it as a 3 pm. and organizers try to bring 1000 the 2 to mamma to protest against their safety. and that is a patient in the semi finals tonight. organizers wants to bring trends to $30000.00 . i would say it's much less maybe $80.00 to $90000.00 police confirmed that.

and the fair protest is mainly about why is it possible that israel, as participating in the origin when a b u, the holes protocol, if the band, russia 2 years ago, many argue this has a double span of and that's why people go on the street. the street apartment and you know, you're a vision has it goes to great lengths, try and keep politics out of the competition. as you said, some argue that allowing is around to compete at all is itself a, a political decision. however, organizers responded to that were spinning around the whole week. i live in 3 and i've never seen so much police on the streets. you could really see the big vehicles they, i even police man here from nor away from denmark. you could see that taken very serious, the whole security situation, and we had to run the 1st time

a final on to say. and you could see that the whole area is protected even on the roofs of the buildings. so you've taken the whole thing very, very serious. they know that sweetness very deliberate with a demonstration. if you want to protest on the street suite and it's pretty easy, they knew that the cod voided. and now that try to separate these 2 walls basically, for me it's always a big bottle. the, a rain of the place where your business taking place. and when you walk around the city, you'll see police on out here, demonstration on the streets and everybody, homestead, face peaceful. but nobody got food is ideas. so security has been be stopped. but how have we heard any comment from the european broadcasting union, which, which run 0 vision in response to what protesters are calling for,

protesting against israel is participation this year will be the ottoman and from the use side is pretty simple. uh, they say we band rush, uh because the russian media is very connected to the russian government. and it's different than this real cause of the public broadcast. so there's rarely separate cost cost as part of the view. you argues it's, it's a free media. that's why com is not banned and that's why the com is sending an artist to the revision about the organizers to try to have it clean your vision. even if that would be a protest on going in the semi finals to live on. this rose about this to pace participating. they have some technical tricks. they won't show a picture of that. don't want to hear any booze doing the mission, but we have seen in the 1st time in front of them some autism struggled with this

situation. they have hidden messages sprayed on the body, there was one the swedish autism participating in the 1st segment. father. he had a job on his hand and it was a huge discussion after his appearance. if this was, if this was ok, if this was already a political statement, you see you struggling with this situation, but everything, everybody hopes that will be a safe and peaceful and enjoyable univision anyhow, it's not just and thank you very much for that. that is the same. think a correspondent for the german public broadcaster a r t or germany's most prestigious award a charlemagne prize will today be confirmed on a think has goldschmidt, a former chief rabbi of moscow, you will be honored alongside the jewish communities of europe. the price vary, so the award is intended to send

a signal that jewish life belongs to europe and that there should be no place for anti semitism in europe. the award also honors goldsmith's commitment to inter religious exchange. he has called for gaza to be administered by a public opinion leader who is supported by a community of arab states, members by goldsmith's mission to revive jews, communities find. he had succeeded in doing this in russia since the 1990s for the rest of the following year, colon version of ukraine. he left russia and protest and moved his row. he's extremely concerned about how the post of tuba 7 situation has developed. we fell from 11 to another war and it's uh has changed my life, but it has changed the world. and those 2 was today are basically challenging the world order as we know it goes, but is concerned about the recent rise and anti semitism. now that may be connected

to israel's war and goes off to we have seen this explosion of santa semitism in europe since the 7th of october and to some it doesn't became political correct. again, you 6 a positive relationship with germany, the country, the perpetrator of the whole crowd. last year you move to your funeral binnacle conference headquarters from london to munich. germany is serious in rebuilding the jewish community and having again a flushing, jewish community and fill in in frankfort and ben munich in all those places, shows the seriousness of the governor of the german government to have a jewish future in germany. a coach but feels gratitude in view of the price or money and ask him, but he also sees the award as a responsibility as to what our prize is not only about the past. so so about the future. it requires from us,

as well as from germany, from off and then to do the maximum possible to ensure the jewish future in yet and in german for that. goldsmith also sees democracy and the threat and considers this work to be part of upholding the values that you are booked up after the 2nd world war. we can take a look now at some other world news headlines. at least 3 people have been killed in storms and the central in southeastern united states for nato's tore through several states, including ohio, tennessee, and north carolina. emergency services are clearing the wreckage. a boeing 737 plane has skidded off the runway in senegal, 11 people were injured and the international airport near the car was temporarily closed. boeing aircraft were evacuated into recent similar incidents and turkey. 6 people have been detained for alleged public disorder into georgia and capital

tbilisi. they were protesting against a foreign agents bill that critics see is a threat to media freedom inspired by russia, mass demonstrations and taking place in pursuit of weeks. russia has celebrated the soviet union's victory in the 2nd world war with its annual red square, military parade. and moscow president vladimir putin use the occasion to lash out at western powers warning them that moscow would not be threatened. the parade comes just days after russia announced a new military drills with neighbor and bella roost, involving the practice deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. a sea of uniformed bodies all waiting for one man to arrive a loud demand polluted for actually sworn in for a record breaking 5th ton as russia's president of to watching soldiers parade through the on seasonal may snow on most goes red square boot and returned familia territory warning the west,

the russia was ready for the conflict and even nuclear war. but i see it, we did deal with your russia, we'll do everything to prevent global confrontation, most definitely without the same time. we will not allow anyone to threaten us and access to the thank you. just use our strategic forces are always on the alert. once again, he also use the backdrop of the survey unions victory of a nazi germany to justify his current war and ukraine. booting has repeatedly based is the accused, the korean government of being run by neo nazis. so i'm watching in the crowd, but clearly in agreement with that long time later. so square is driving now for victory against fascism. we are directly involved into this and we have to rush along us. we must always learn from the past and remember what our grandfathers did for us and that we must do the same. now. the fruits of futons efforts to twist the pulse in his favor will also one display at the end of the parade. where once he

was joined by jim and chancellor as an un secretaries general this you know, west and lead to came to lay flowers along side rushes. president at our correspondent to funding for char has more on pretend speech so basic and make clear that the world should have no doubt about the fact that he's the one in charge to protect russians against this alleged fret by the west. so therefore, making a link between history or for over to the current events, the ongoing war in ukraine. and so basically, if you didn't want to hear anything, you would then read who'd already i suggest at the beginning of the week during his final gratian speech. and that is that quote, he said, the future of the motherland as because it depends on russia and by motherland. he referred to what he said on tuesday, and he's integration speech referred to what you called at the historic class. so we never points or he never says ukraine, but can't, he's pointing basically towards ukraine, a silver and country that in his view and he's narrative and political,

a vision should belong to russia and, and paste this as a form of a defense against what he calls western alleged best and aggression, so nothing you on that from what i point actually quite interesting that we didn't hear anything on just how own words from here. how does he want to achieve this goal to unite russians in his view? is it going to mobilize more russians and also just how long this was going to continue new? would they, what 7 or, or around this speech was actually meant to of the, justify the ongoing war. but also to enforce this narrative of this propaganda. so people, basically the sons, the husbands of, of, of, of mothers that have to send, they, are, they, are, they are children, or their husbands, or their brothers can work that they know, at least in the reference of flooding reporting why they have to do it. and funny, tell us a little bit about how this compares to last year. now this is victory day parade. obviously an annual event. and yet last year we, we saw it coming. i made

a big loss as for russia on the battlefield this year, which is the situation look like overall the picture is when you look at the numbers and plates, it's about 18 percent of land that's being controlled by russian ukraine. so that number didn't really change, however, there were some symbolic, a moments for russian forces when they took in earlier this year of disco into doing a screeching. and if they're also very, very close on closing in on a different town in the don't you a screenshot. and that is a cha, cpr which is of strategic important. because if they take interest, if you are, they could possibly attack from their other cities. so if you zoom in on certain locations, yes, they've been some moments of victory for, for, for a russian forces. but on the over or level, the isn't a huge, a huge a gain compared to last year. however, definitely on this has to be on the line ross, you so much more on the offensive compared to ukraine, that is more on the defense which has to be explained with the very fact that it

was on many levels are on the front line. ukraine is suffering a lack of military equipment and was simply off manpower. now whether that's going to change with the arrival of new weapons and, and, and more help and a from the west is, is to be seen. and also the question just how politically but also strategically russia is going to then adopt to ukraine, receiving the kia and receiving more of military equipment in the future. we do not know just like we do not know how long this battle is going to go on. thank you so much for that finding that his date of use correspondent, funny for char and time for some other world news headlines. now. south korea plans to set up a new administrative tackle population decline. the national birth rate is the lowest in the world and is still falling despite and government family friendly incentives. the population is forecast to have by the end of this century.

japan is planning to hunt been wells under a proposal likely to anchor environmental groups. japan already allows commercial wailing of 3 species. the government says they are an important food source. tokyo withdrew from the international organization regulating wailing. 5 years ago. the football news now and re on the dred will face board with your daughter and in the champions league final, after a dramatic late when over byron munich, fire and squared 1st. thanks rachel perv stripe from all funds or davies. but with just 2 minutes left, substitute jose lou equalize before grabbing the winter and stoppage time with buyer and claiming an off site. the unit club, the thought they had leveled, but another debatable offside call ended the dream of an old german final. as well as maxim merrill from the w sports here with me in the studio to discuss what has been a drum, had a few days and european football. hi max tells what sit out for you and that match

between rail and buyer. well, the story lines absolutely swung back and forth for a long, long time round the dominating the nightstand by and got that gold against the run of play and manual noise that goalkeeper absolutely kept the minutes at almost 40 years old. japanese number one was stupendous. until the really figures literally dropped the ball into the costs of those pos who had come on as a substitute, the score twice. and then it became his fed retail store. he left round madrid at age 22. having failed to break into the team from the youth team sets up bounced around the buddhist again. gemini, england, spain always was sort of mid table, low sides, and even go relegated in spain last season. now spend a romage. it had a bit of a mix up in the recruitment in the summer. couldn't get the striking they wanted and then brought the cost of the loan at age. 33, he comes back to this club, makes his champions and guy didn't even make sustain national team. debut and now has how obviously had the biggest moment of his career bringing ramage it into the

final and by and almost ruined that fairytale, the with that late goal you mentioned, which was called for upside. now the rule out since the admin, a video assistant referees, as you lift the flag for of side, you don't blow the whistle until the passage of play is going because then you can see maybe it wasn't on the side or so. now, the referee didn't blow the whistle and we can hear what to allow us to hold by ins . coach had to say about that to have the boss to have the guts, to raise the flag in a situation like this is a huge, huge, huge called and it's a wrong code. the rest already has the chance when he sees that we've been the 2nd ball and we've been the rebound and we get the shot that way. within 5 seconds. he has the chance not to resume. he takes the decision. teresa, it is against every road. i'm sorry, we accept the lost it. um it is what it is, but just uh that would not have happened on the other side.

so the prospect of an all german final is over, but i don't think many would have necessarily predicted endorsement in the final and not in byron right. very much so they, but under those oldest term can succeed. and indeed they've had a disaster season independence. they go, they last, last season's title on the final not state was all in their hands and they gave it away and they're about to finish. probably 5th independence legacy is never even calls for passage. the goal of the coach to be sacked in the time because it gets a different story. they've been a real unit. they've beaten paste in the semi finals before that. i'd like to come a dread they lost everything holland 2 seasons ago. arguably the world's best striker, last season, they sold jude binding them to around the good to. they'll now face in the champions league final and no one expected them to be that i don't think even themselves, they don't get revenge. but the 2013 final, which was also in london against by munich. but they come face to face with their fullness style that jude bothering him and ran madrid and acting very quickly before i let you go. is there any chance for more german success tonight?

of course in the europe leak semi final by late because need to know up there and being all season they will beat the record set by then feca. if they say avoid defeat today, $49.00 games on beating all season, they could make it to the final and could even when a travel which is amazing as the cold, never cruising for failing so much max. thank you so much for that. that is dw sports is maxim merrill and the olympic torch relay is underway in france and the build up to the summer games in paris. mar, say football legend, assumable. he kicked off 1st like the day after the plane arrived on a sailing ship from greece. other torch bears included ukraine and gymnast area. this of time sca and the french and b a star, tony parker, the over the next 2 and a half months, 10000 people will carry the torch across france and overseas territories.
