the the dw dues live in from berlin tonight from inside guns and reports that is really bombing in the city of rockland, is really a visual say that they're going to press ahead with their plan defensive in ra hand . this, despite a warning from you as president biden at washington could stop some weapons shipments if there's real, invades, also coming up in the human rights, campaigners accused soothing these militias of ethnic cleansing and dar for they say it could amount to generous off the i bring golf is good to have you with this,

israel's military spokesperson says that the army has been munitions and needs to press the head with its offensive in the southern gaza city of rough up of this comes after a warning from us president biden, that the us could cut some weapons exports to is real if the offensive goes ahead. of course the fear of. busy massive civilian casualties, tens of thousands of people are thought to be leaving rafa looking for safe haven and for many, for most it's not the 1st time they've done so 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 lights there . they chose to go to con us. okay, so it's a safe place, but it doesn't have any water or any food or drink or aid or anything. we don't know what to do, that this is what this rail had previously labeled rasa is

a safe zone. more than a 1000000 people have been sheltering. mia, now it's is rails laces. battle zone. it's is the city is a strong hold for him. us militants. tanks patrol easton district and it strikes, escalating thing with children among the victims were the sort of in the as rarely army struck us with 2 missiles without warning. this is the criminal act. 8 people were murdered. among them were little children who had nothing to do with any of this. you had you say 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 whitfield. busy these human, their issue, fuel fuel fuel that afford also for you in your age that also saw moments and that of that. so i was trying to get it off you all the return precious, including the hospital ration. they called general health and saw our estimation is that the hospitals only have fuel for $2.00 to $3.00 days. the united states has repeatedly warned as rail 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 on middle east. analysts,

laura blumenfeld told me more about the different positions of these rarely and us leaders. i mean, from biden's point of view, this is like our friends don't let friends drive drunk moment. he's taking away the keys, so to speak for an attack on yahoo. you know, he's standing on the side of the road and saying, i still got to get home and we'll do it with or without you. um, as you know, oh, you know, he is really is have abandonment issues. natania spoke about that. right to that point on holocaust memorial day, he gave a speech this week where he said, there were times when did you spend alone in the world? no one came to our aid and we will not be defenseless again. so he's really driving hardon to turn yahoo on this period of holidays. they call it the days of all which start on holocaust memorial day. they take you up to a memorial day for soldiers right up to israel independence day. so he's kind of working with that calendar to make a political point, which of course has military implications that was middle east analysts,

laura bloomfield, speaking with me earlier. let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . ukraine's president loaded me of zalinski, has dismissed the head of the state guard. no successor has been named earlier this week. authorities arrested to colonels from the service, accusing them, applauding to assassinate zelinski and other top officials keep claims they were working for russia. the death toll from flooding and southern brazil has risen to a 107 rescue teams are still working to bring people to safety. relentless rain storms have hampered their efforts and more bad weather is forecast. dozens of people are still missing. the campaign groups, human rights watches, accusing parent military forces into the end of ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. it says the rapids support forces and allied militias have killed thousands of people in west star for and hundreds of thousands have been driven from their homes. civil war broke out into den last year where human

rights watch. it says there's evidence of genocide as we have this report now and a warning, some of the images and the content in this reports you may find disturbing the aftermath of an attack in laguna west are for a place home to them as a lead people's a new report by human rights watch says ethnically targeted violence is forcing them from their homeland, along with other non arab communities. so downs army has been at war with paramilitary groups since april 2023. the report accuses the rapids support forces and allied militias of ethnic cleansing and war crimes. one man describes how he survived an attack last year. i was hoping maybe the is the last. what tribes we have from the way don't if you wanted massive leads and they would kill you

immediately. i don't know if not, i lied and said, i'm not massively. they challenged me, so i told them i'm from the ball, go try it. then they brought someone to talk to me in that language and i replied, because i know how to speak it. number one, i dropped them out. so then they let me go get it done. no. and he fled to neighboring shad. we're more than half a 1000000 sudanese have taken refuge. another survivor here says he was buried alive by the rapid support forces. they took us all the living and the corpses. after they tortured us, they drag this into a car. then fluids from the dead bodies begin dripping into our eyes on to our faces and lips. we have to spit it out. human rights watches warning, their indications of a possible genocide in west are 4 and they are calling for immediate action.

recording on the un collaboration with the african union to urgency emissions for the mandates to protect civilians into the new place into then to date stays for civilians. they say the world needs to wake up to what's happening. as experts warn, sudan is at risk of breaking a part as well. new tossing the ali from american universities. washington college of law told me what needs to be done to pull sudan back from the break with respect to the question on the ongoing atrocities and all for, and the recent report by human rights for us. i think we've been seeing this adventure for quite some time. this is, this is really sort of the key atrocity is repeated violations biased by the same perpetrators, you know, since early 2, thousands. and therefore, i think um the, the, the only way to respond to this as who have really admitted in international intervention,

especially in situations where there was imminent risk of genocide like another pfizer north star for where you, you say international intervention is needed. but when we look around we, we don't see the african union, for example. i mean how, how do you explain this? it is apparent lack of action from the african union or from other international actors. and i think im sorely i think the the, the, the lack of critical response from yeah, for communion is shameful. and i think we have a speaking of it genocide situation. amazing or you know read them what a report. right. this is speaking over. i would want to book a center for human rights record, and therefore i think that it's supposed to not only be, was not on the expect from the african union of which, you know, i expect those ponds from every country. this isn't

a national duty to prevent them punished for the crime of genocide. and so i think it is literally us find somebody to of all the states. but surely, yes, the african union beatrice, you know, the, they, they, the heaviest as possible it on this because the atrocities and the crimes that are as what are speaking about are in dial 4 in africa. and sadly, they have within the union is the union of, you know, many autocrats of human rights abuse. and therefore, i think we can, that will expect a lot from the african union in image. you've been part of this report where, you know, you claimed a genocide it has taken place and yet we're not seeing an international response that you think we should be seeing. does that trouble? you mean, what does it say about using the accusation of genocide to mobile lies

international responses. i mean, you know, as i said, this is really, you know, saying for, you know, response from the international community. and i think, you know, you know, given the ceiling test, someone is, and this source that we hear from, you know, displays person. so what you d as in is from chad, you know, the c panel national the, the in difference and inaction by then imagining community. it says a clear message to the victims. you know that the silence is actually on the side of a price or on the perpetrator rather than the victim. and therefore, i think it is really a devastating message that we send. not all the victims of a trust that has an genocide in the for but all the victims of atrocities elsewhere as well. and so i think um, again we say it is not of course is a rate too late, but definitely there is a window for the international community to correct the,

you know, it's past the match. yeah. we understand that more than half a 1000000 have fled from west or forwarded chad in just the past year. how big is the risk that this complet could the stabilize the entire region? we are absolutely see some of the, you know, the spill over in other places in your area and that's where i saw early in this i region and therefore, i think, and we actually were, i guess is split over for a while since last year that you know, and i think we did, it must immediately add to curb the violation of the, of users. right. we see that the, our staff is recording. um, you know, fighters from neighboring countries like chad or even from libya or from central african republic and others from a major and the light. and so i think there is,

um, you know, we're quite see we're seeing quite the, the, the spill over this, of this competition that in, in other places. and i think it could be even walk this traffic if the national command does not intervene to. um, you know, to respond to the ongoing, i'll trust it. isn't that for right now? a british toddler who was born deaf, said her earring, her hearing rather restored by groundbreaking gene therapy. researchers say that it marks a new era in the treatment of death. she might not be a musician yet, but also having a hearing restored. opal cannot hear the music she plays unaided. she was born completely desk because of the genetic mutation, the effect of surgery that took just 16 minutes amazed parents.

when the telling to copy. all right, i was, it was, opal has a mutation in a gene which should allow cells in the, in the air to communicate with the hearing the during the surgery, she received an infusion, which contained a working copy of the gene. a homeless virus is used to carry the gene to its destination. what viruses are designed to do? what that purpose is, is for them to put the genetic material into cells. and so the, with this attenuate to that, into virus, we can drop a tiny little packet of genetic information into the cells. and that will provide, could change. that is a lifelong we think the treatment can only kill deafness that is caused by this defective gene. good research as think it can also be effective against other genetic you base to seizes. for other people and her family, the,

the treatment has had a big impact, allowing them to enjoy the little things like a bedtime story. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more work news followed by the day. i hope you enjoyed the we are all set and we're watching closely for him to bring you the story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information for 3 months. the votes people have to say is to.
