the secret lives of design stuffs may 22nd on d w. the or the finals of the eurovision song contest. take place on saturday and ball those sweet and there will be performances on stage. and there will be protests on the sidelines over the war between israel and from us. the deafening dissidents of the district conflict have swedish police on patrol ready for a riot. tonight, a course of protests and songs for peace, struggling to find perfect pitch. i broke off in berlin. this is the day, the

search, the huge honor to be standing on stage and be representing the whole country, the theater, and see how we can deem it, as well as participation in the eurovision song contest. this year. it's so much more than just another song, another contest and other department. right now people are being moved in rough but, and at the same time we're going to have an osh, it's coming from israel. it's not right. the, i feel like people have the rights to see what they want to, but i'm focusing on the good also coming up in vladimir putin, is russia. and here in the capital of germany, marketing a war victory from the past to suggest

a war victory in the not so distant future thoughts were in germany. and we think that the instrumental ization of this historical remembrance for today's war against ukraine is wrong. unfortunately, to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with the numbers needed to wage and when a war, israel says it's military, has enough weapons and munitions to press the head with an offensive in the southern guns, a city of rough up. now this comes after a warning from us president joe biden, that washington could cut some weapons exports to is real. if the offensive goes ahead. the fear of course, massive civilian casualties in rough up or tens of thousands of people are fault to be leaving. bravo, looking for a safe haven and for most, this is not the 1st time that they've had to do this. seeing the fighting and rough

uh, they can find a family is once again on the move. the heated to come eunice, but fear what they will find. the next 10 units areas safe. there's no life there. they chose to go to con us. so the restrictions on the i making life, even worse. israel has shuffle off the vital, rougher border crossing, leaving supply warehouse is virtually empty and bringing hospitals to the brink of collapse. the most important elements. what is the. busy nice human to issue fuel fuel fuel that of course also for you and your age that also saw moments and know that. so let us try to get rid of the few all the major a precious, including hospital ration, big old journal health. and so our estimation is that the hospitals only have

fuel for $2.00 to $3.00 days. the united states has repeatedly warned israel against a full scale offensive and rougher and has halted some deliveries. israel the remains defiant and shows no signs of giving into international pressure. all right, let's get some more analysis. now with marina moran, she's from the worst studies department at kings college london. rena. it's good to see you again. so, i mean, i would start by just asking you, do we know, i mean, has the invasion of off, it hasn't begun a good evening brand? well, that's a great question because as there is some clarity in terms of what the idea is doing, it seems like it's having some clashes in eastern rough fall with hamas mill events . however, we cannot say that the full scale incursion

a for alpha has already started. and um, so i'm applying that this might be a way to push from us to actually agree to is fairly conditions officer deal for a ceasefire. so it might be something like a show of force, which is, of course, complicating israel's position on an international stage, giving the fact that the us wants to limit its arms shipments to israel. if that operation is to take place. if it goes beyond being a show of force and we're talking about a full fledged invasion, a ground defensive against or off, or how do you foresee it progressive? it may be very difficult for the idea. and i know that israel sad that it would be very surgical and very talkative. however, it seems like an auction more on in an urban environment to have a targeted operation. because the idea of would have to operate amongst civilians

was who must militants, most likely drafton and civilian clothes. so it's very difficult to distinguish them from regular civilian from the one hand. on the other hand, the threat will be coming from anywhere. so is, this is a move i don't directional threat. they will have to go very slowly section by section bearing in mind there is always a possibility of collateral damage, and there will be essentially collateral damage because we know is the, is rarely idea is using a force as well as artillery. so or it will be a very slow and painful operation. and i think the best approach was the idea of would be going sections by sections and trying to move civilian some out of the way . but there is no good approach. and i don't think they have a real plan as at this stage. and what about the role of the united states, and particularly the, the warning from you as president biden, that if you do go into rasa the united states may hold back some of its weapons

shipments to israel. him is that going to change israel's abilities at all? in an offensive against or off. absolutely, i think it will be very impactful because as for now, israel still house enough munitions to hold the north and to conduct its limited operations around rafael. however, if the us is not to supply israel from an east, rarely point of view, they see those on the ex essential fight which could be lost because they will not have enough munitions in order to pursue the remaining 4 for mazda battalions and rough cost. so they could potentially cripple the entire operation from, from the east. fairly perspective let's, let's assume that the, the weapons are there and the number needed is real,

says that rasa is home to home, us his last remaining battalions. do you agree with what we've were hearing from israel that we're off of really would be her mazda is last stand, it is a very good question. i don't know what kind of intelligence israel house on, on the numbers that are still left. but we know that the adf has just now closed the crossing was egypt. so there was this assumption that hamas was getting its weapons from, from egypt. therefore, i think it's very likely that some homeless fighters might have escaped as well. uh and, and have either a, okay, bite other locations outside of the gaza strip and say in in c or e, if it's sole sealed off at least the bus spiders who are in the rough hall could be eliminated by israel process. however,

we don't know if we're talking about the entirety or from us, and we also have to understand that the cause mike live on the other is my pick up arms in name of home us you this, it is a good point. what happens though, if israel says that it is going to achieve its goal of completely destroying a moss, and it's going to do that, but it's going to need weapons enough weapons. if it says that to the united states, in your professional opinion, can you imagine the united states withholding weapons and letting is real not achieve the goal of destroying a mouse as well. i think the united states is in a very difficult position. i think a jordan that has expressed these concerns because the united states on the one hand is supporting israel and is willing to send weapons. on the other hand, they are criticizing israel for what is happening in rough, ha, and,

and in gaza in humanitarian terms. so i think that especially pre election, it will be a very difficult choice in terms of how the united states might result the situation. but i think they will have to try and accepted enough pressure on israel in order to resolve the human to terry and situation. first, before any military action can take place and i see u. s. involvement in, in this specific cooperation as well in a humanitarian role. and i think that might be a way forward in order to get around this as not to endanger israel. survival, which has from israel, a perspective is what it is, what it's fighting for and gaza. and without risking the lives of all those civilians or trapped in gaza arena wrong from kings college london. marina is always we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you for

having me. what does it mean for you to re present israel? is there a vision this year? it's so much more than just another song, another contest and other performance it's, it's truly is such a huge honor to be standing on stage and be representing the whole country and being the voice of a whole nation. and i feel the support of the entire country and the entire nation behind my back. and i'm truly endlessly grateful for everyone and everything that's going on and feel like have a huge responsibility. and i'm taking it very seriously and doing my best to our present us proudly. well, those are the words of a 20 year old woman. hers is the voice of israel this years eurovision song contest . agent go lot is performing and thursday nights in my final competition ahead of

the annual pop music festivals. finale on saturday, one is performing and velma sweden and not everyone is welcoming her with open arms . the thousands of pro palestinian demonstrators gathered in mel move central square only a few kilometers from the performance venue. they protested against israel's participation in the song context. well 80. golan was also booed while she was on stage at one of her rehearsals and the lyrics to the song that she is singing at this year's contest. they were also challenged and changed. jenny built up a culture and journalist and ryder based here in berlin, who was covered the song contest. many times. told me more. yeah,

the song used to be called october rain and then of course, a lot of people said that this was the mess of tech on the october 7th. was meant with this with this title. and so she had to change it into how we came to what's called hurricane. and she helped us change some of the lines to so instead of seeing those who write history stand with me, she is nursing and writes of my symphony. play with me and she's not saying i'm still west from this october rain, but i'm still broken from this. how we came and you kind of cause a read everything into both of the versions of the song. so i don't know what's happening with it. and i mean, i don't want to pay a wrong word, incorrect fixture here. i mean, when she performs saturday night, there will be people in the crowd cheering for her as there will be. people cheering for every country, every candidate, every performer on stage, correct or, or is it will that not be the case of cost if she,

if she is performing on saturday? because as i said today, is this the 2nd send the final. so if she gets into the competition on saturday, it's going to be a very, very, very heated situation because of cause it's live then. and there will be a lot of people supporting her in the, in the audience, but also people against her. so is maybe addressing also a broadcast control, what to show. and it's definitely to your assigned for that the politics in this, in this challenge. and now that you see is a, it's a political thing. it's not, it's not the so called only cultural competition. it's a political thing because it's genially countries fighting against each other, you know, with thing and with caution about still it's political thing, is it and it's, it, it's not that it's all, it's not supposed to be political, but mean the whole, the spirit of the, your intentions on contacting of it. it came in the 1950s after the 2nd word more, you know, it was supposed to bring the cotton together. the people who are protesting they are pro palestinian protesters. so what is their, what,

what beef do they have with and is really performing or possibly performing in, in the finals saturday, not. i mean, i'm my move and, and in mind with a lot of people living there, i have a roots and some arab countries. so there's a lot of, it's a big community that is of cost of very angry with israel. and i wouldn't say that the origin sancho does never was political because it's the 1st of all, it's all the european broadcast union. if you who has ended up with this constitution saying we're not political, right, what's the contest as such has always been political, that has been political song starting with for example. and this in freedom by nuclear, you know, literacy securities and the highlight of the cold. well, yeah, correct. so it was a winner that has been, it has been a crazy and song some years ago. it was called 1944 bought the caribbean, top to us. so has always been of course, body politics has always played a big part like that has been done at the national from east right. as

a 1st trans women, you know, also a sing and flush one's rights. and of course, the queer community is a big part and so it has always been political. i think it can stay political and i think it's okay that people are fighting and in a peaceful way, you know it's would be a k if the, if the a, it's a context. as we are aware, we are well aware that a people outside of our cultural bubble have different meanings. but let's stay here for this life threatening. she would stay peaceful so they would be maybe something they should to the feeling the of this contest. i mean, you've covered them before, i mean, it's different this year, right. i mean, if you walk down the street and mom over in sweden, you know, you're seeing police officers with machine guns. i mean, that's something that we really haven't seen in years past. and i mean, i dare say it, it really dampens and kills the, the party spirit that there, if there was any to begin with. uh huh. um and the else, cuz on the one hand it kills a kind of parties, but it also elevated,

elevates its this context because as i said contra has a, has a big power to include everything. kyesha is, is including power. so it never should exclude people that should bring people together. and with being aware of that, i think there's a chance for the, for the see a contest for the brand to we address that. and if we also be important how you know, the report us report about all this thing is if they are able to, to be assessed but enough to, to say the right things and to, to data not to, to not behaviors if it wasn't happening. so because that makes no sense, we are political people everywhere, also in the cultural business. and i'm wondering, could this damage this on contest permanently? i mean, let, let's imagine if the, these really, if, if she were to win on saturday, that would be next year. the contracts have to take place in in is real in the middle of this middle east palate, her kid with that song contest, be able to to withstand yes. of costs. um that if, if, if that's the wall going on,

the probably won't make it have the contest there is the same as and it just, it was the ukraine. yeah. well, one last yeah. and of course that, that couldn't make this, this couple didn't happen then, but i'm, i think it's, it's, it's a chance. it's a terrible with mirror off. what we are going through at the moment of all the was that we are surrounded by about the also we should see that it's a chance because as i said, it's a cultural contest. it should happen with peace and with tolerance of what with loving and understanding each other. so yeah, yeah, i'm, i'm, i'm very, very curious what times on saturday. yeah. real, you know. yeah. but hopefully they'll be more seeking for peace instead of shelving in protests, a culture journalist, jenny, chuck, and we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. the federal or the one is in europe most prestigious awards the charlemagne prize has been conferred on pinterest goldsmith, the former chief rabbi of moscow. he was honored in the german town of often

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 isn'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 that they could come from type portez, 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 i have a jewish future in germany. goldsmith feels gratitude in view of the price or money, but he also sees the award as a responsibility. as soon 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 new york and in germany. for that, goldsmith also sees democracy and the threat and considers this work to be part of upholding the values that you are built up after the 2nd world war. russia have celebrated the soviet union's victory and the 2nd world war with its annual red square military parade of moscow. russian president vladimir putin use the occasion to lash out at western powers warning them that moscow will not be threatened. and the parade comes just days after russia, and now it's new military drills with neighboring bella risk involving the practice deployment of tactical nuclear weapons,

a sea of uniform bodies all waiting for one man to arrive. a loud demand. polluted, freshly sworn in for a record breaking 5th tongue 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. but at the same time, we will not allow anyone to threaten us and access to that. they can 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. suits and has repeatedly based as the accused, korean government, a being run by neo nazis. so i'm watching in the crowd, but clearly in agreement with a long time leader in such

a square as driving now for victory against fascism. we are directly involved into this and we have been 1st one of 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 pollutants efforts to twist the pulse in his favor were also on display at the end of the parade. where once he was joined by jim and chancellor as an un secretaries general this, you know, western leader came to lay flowers alongside russia's president or russians living here in berlin. also celebrate may, 9th, as victory over nazi germany. date remembrance, events were held all across the german capital, but this year police were out in force to prevent the spread of any propaganda backing the war in ukraine. sharing the same ground, but fire accounts in ideology ceremonies, invalid mocking the soviet victory of

a nazi germany have become more political than ever since russia invited ukraine. and this is young thoughts were in germany. and we think that the instrumental ization of this historical remembrance for today's war against you crane is wrong in what you mean. russian symbols would bend around the commemoration, and yet some were on display by countries flag was born. there was raised there almost the this black is a symbol funded position from fascism. also present. diplomats including the messages from russia and it's allied bella race, as well as the russian orthodox priests. the around $900.00 police were on hand to ensure public safety with only a few minus scuffles. monitoring the commemoration. while the day is almost done, the conversation continues on line. you'll find this on ex,
