the, the, this is dw dues live it from berlin. tonight from inside guns are reports of is really bombing in the city of ruffled. it's really official say that there pressing a head with a plan defensive in rasa. you as president buying this morning, washington could stop some weapons shipments if is real and vague. also coming up tonight as relations with the west of worsen over ukraine, russia, march, the soviet union's ward, more to victory with the military parade in moscow. plus, she was born death because of a genetic mutation. but now doctors have given her the ability to hear using a groundbreaking medical procedure. researchers believe that they could use the

technique to treat a host of other diseases beyond the here, the hybrid golf, to our viewers watching on tv, as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. israel's military says that it has the munitions, it needs to press a head, but it's offensive in the southern gods of city. of rafa you as president biden warning that washington however, could cut some weapons. exports is real. if that offensive goes ahead, the fear of course, massive civilian casualties you in says tens of thousands of people have left rafa looking for a safe haven. and for most it's not the 1st time that they've done so the seeing the fighting and rasa. like a find a family is once again on the move,

the heated to come, eunice, but fear what they will find me a ton unit area. say there's no lights there. they chose to go to con us almost. okay, so it's a safe place, but it doesn't have any water or any food or drink or 8 or anything. we don't know what to do with israel 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 was israel has shuttle off the vital rough for border crossing. leaving supply warehouse is virtually empty. and bringing hospitals to the brink of collapse the most important elements. what is the all these human, their issue, fuel, fuel, fuel that are important also for you and your age that also saw moments and that of that. so i was trying to get it off to all the major a precious, including lost soul ration. they come to the house and sell our estimation is that the hospitals only have fuel for $2.00 to $3.00 days. and 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. while i spoke with the middle east, analysts, laura blooming failed in this, she told me more about the differing positions of the it's really and us leaders. i mean, from biden's point of view, this is like our friends don't let friends drive drunk mom and he's taking away the keys so to speak for an attend 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, so you know, he is really 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

hard natania along 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 in the military implications here. biden has said that the united states will not withhold defensive weapons, like those used for israel's iron. go, for example, to that change, and i, you know, of all the bad case scenarios and believe me, i'm contemplating them. i don't see him pulling back on defensive weapons. i mean, even with the, with so again, room, i remember what time the only about a pause on our offensive weapons. you had senators lining up republican senators, you know, basically saying that the president is, is advancing a key ally and it could have implications for other allies around the world. mean the world is watching other countries. if we're saying, you know,

we're going to put a dent in his iron clad alliance. what does it mean for other countries? can you rely in america? are they that dependable state? and what about the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu? he says that is real, will stand alone if it has to. can it really the stand alone? i mean, help parking it, push this more without its most important ally. right, well the idea of the israel defense forces are heavily dependent on the united states for weapons. you know, 3800000000 dollars of year, a dollars a year they receive and military assistance. i think from the right here, he's kind of channeling mackey value a little bit and he's, he's just saying to himself, you know, you need to treat your enemies generously or destroy them altogether. because if you injure them only slightly, they will come back to different to, to seek revenge. and if you don't, they won't be able to. and i think he sees and why, really, as a kind of fight to the finish. and maybe he's hoping i don't know in his

calculation the present abiding might even be the us present in a couple of months. yeah, i want me to pick up on that. i mean, what is at stake for joe biden? domestically right now, particularly if he holds a red line with his real i know it's a very tricky pivot for about him because he has been the most pro israel president and us history. and he's been accused of, you know, being genocide, joe. and then you have the folks who, who were happy with his support for israel saying, you know, hey, you are way to go, joe. and where are you now? they're saying that he's kind of a, you know, he's 1st was talking about the 2 state solution and now it's a 2 face solution. there are 2 biden's, the one who gave that tremendous speech just a few days ago that the rise of anti semitism. and then the joe, by those who said no more offensive weapons, i would argue that he's more of a father abraham figure, and he sees both past syrians and israel is as his children who are fighting. and he, he's a man of tremendous empathy. and it's just hard on him to watch the images coming

out of gaza where it were so many civilians are dying and he cares deeply. i saw him wipe a tear from the corner of his eye when he talked about visiting israel and the days and the aftermath of october 7th and seeing a picture of it is rarely mother burned to death. while she was tied together with her daughter, i mean this is real and i do think that a lot of the summer, somebody, he does, he is motivated by politics, but also by the personal as well. you know, there's a very good point. we want to remind our viewers in your best selling author. you've written a book, about revenge for it for acts of violence. so i want to ask you, what strikes you about the weight is real, is pursuing. it's more against them. us for the attacks of october, the 7th. so i think that's really interesting is you know, immediately following october 7th, president biden said, you need to learn from our mistakes, enough data stand and not, not kind of follow our path. but what he seems to be kidding for. now,

if you watched his interview on cnn, he said, you know, we want to, to get been logged in and we can help you gets into our son. an interesting way to present it is advocating for personal revenge rather than military retaliation. it's an interesting pivot. it's an interesting point that you bring up. um you were a policy advisor to the us state department on middle east end the peace process. so let me ask you, do you see a path for the end of the war in gaza and do you think the 2 state solution still has any life left it? well, i think it's going to take a lot of diplomatic finance. and frankly, a lot of emotional intelligence, this war, it hasn't been a world war, but all of us, the whole world has been at war emotionally because of the, the impact of social media. i think one way that you can get these rallies to kind of look more toward a 2 state solution is rather than framing it as an opportunity of normalization

with the saudi arabia, which of course is important right now. i think they do want to just club or somebody if you frame it in a fight against the wrong. and, you know, talk about this kind of coalition of coexistence to push back on the axes of resistance. that is a point on her, on the horizon, i can see these really is amy for right now, given their emotional state. and you have to take into account that has to be in trauma as well. it is unprecedented. and so we need to kind of move forward delicately. laura bloomfield, joining us tonight from washington dc. lauren, we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you are, let's have a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the death toll from flooding and southern brazil has risen to a 107 rescue teams are still working to bring people to safety, re lidless rain storms of hamper their efforts. more bad weather is in the forecast . dozens of people are still missing. germany is buying 3 high mars rocket

launchers from the united states to send to ukraine, germany defense minister boris. the story is currently in washington for talks about this. ukraine has dozens of high mars assistance which can strike targets far behind enemy lines. with a high degree of accuracy. grades, president bonum is zalinski, has dismissed the head of the country, state guard. no successor has been made. earlier this week, authorities arrested to colonels from the service, accusing them, applauding to assassinate zalinski and other top officials. keith claims that they were working for russia. yeah, to russia. now, today, russia celebrated the soviet union's victory in the 2nd world war with this annual red square military parade in mos scout visited by them to put in years the occasion to lash out at western powers warning them that moscow will not be threatened. and the parade comes just days after russia announced

a new military drills with neighboring fellow roofs involving the practice of deploying 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 a good deal. it's, your russia will do everything to prevent global confrontation, most definitely. but at the same time, we will not allow anyone to threaten us. and that's just gonna take, 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 role in ukraine. suits and has repeatedly based as the

accused, the prey and 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 in this and we have the 1st one because 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. well, also on display at the end of the parade, where once he was joined by jim and chancellor as an un secretary general. this, you know, western leader came to lay flowers alongside russia's president. why ask you to use russia? analysts konstantin, a good weather events like the victory day parade, whether they can still bolster support for the war in ukraine. it is difficult to side. of course, people like these shows,

they remind the majority of russians that there is a still a great country. it is old, designed to inspire pride, although frankly speaking of some of the weapons that were shown, especially ed croft were old, even when i served in the army and later ages. uh, but of this whole thing is lots of the point of so much in spite of the population which is largely indifferent or rather tries to keep its own counsel. it is a way of sol impacting the outside world. and that's quite interesting. for example, one of the independent russian websites investigated websites discovery, then it's been out now on reference social media in the last few hours. that is a 3 offices that we see sitting behind 13 of those, the 2 pos in a sold on key. evan 2022 and one of them definitely belongs to a unit that has been already accused the whole crime. so read the symbols. we are

not going to surrender, we're going to do whatever we see we want to do. uh and in this respect it is very much and in your face show define school is parade and all that symbolism that that is attached to it. when i ask you to about the connection with bella, ruth's tonight um letting me put and it says that there is nothing unusual about nuclear drill was taking place with bella. rosie announced that earlier this week. what's your take on that? as well as, because it is unusual, it's not every day wherever every year that have drills that in be the use of nuclear weapons. and here is very specific tactical, nuclear weapons i. e, of those that are not allegedly going to stop the world war 2, but just something that's going to take all the nerves in this way. any of poland,

lots of yeah. maybe 10 that it is, of course, bundled lose some threats. is that uprooting is using recently because frankly speaking, she situation is not the right of us approved a massive aid to grade. the west seems to be intense in all before we came in the arms race. so she results the usual tactics that is nuclear buckman. yeah, nuclear black male, that certainly gets the west attention. that's for sure. you know, we use konstantin egrets because the thing is always thank you. thank you. russians living here in berlin also celebrate may 9th, as victory over nazi germany. date. 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 gemini, have become more political than ever since russia invited ukraine. it isn't young

thoughts. we're in germany, and we think these are the instrumental ization of this historical. remember, it's for today's war against ukraine is wrong. russian symbols with band around the commemoration. and yet some were on display by countries flag was born there was raised there. almost the flag is a symbol funded position from fascism. also present. diplomats, including the messages from russia, and it's a lie belive, raised, as well as the russian orthodox priests. around $900.00 police were on hand to ensure public safety with only a few minus scuffles. ma rings a commemoration or know the africa, the campaign groups, human rights, watches, accusing paramilitary forces in sudan 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. they say and driven from their homes, civil war broke out in sudan last year. human rights watch, it says there's evidence of genocide. we have this report now and a warning, some of the images and some of the content you may find disturbing. i mean, 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. the suit hands 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 don't mean to be the they or

what tribes we have from the way don't if you want said, massa leach 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 of it. well, i spoke with more trust him ali from american universities, washington college of law. he told me what needs to be done in his opinion, to pull sudan back from the brink. with respect to the question on the ongoing atrocities and our full and the recent report by human westport, 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 to thousands and therefore i think um the, the only way to respond to this is who have really an immediate in international intervention. especially in situations where there was an eminent risk of genocide like another flash of north star for where you, you say international intervention is needed. but when we look around we, we don't see the african unit, for example in the how, how do you explain this? it is apparent lack of action from the african union or from other international actors. so i think you shortly, i think the the, the, the lack of critical response from yeah, for communion is shameful. and i think we are speaking of it genocide situation. amazing. or, you know, read them what a report, right, this is speaking over. i would want them book

a center for human rights to record. and therefore, i think that it's supposed to not only be, was not on the expect from the african union, which, you know, i expect this 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 beaters, you know, the, they, they, the heaviest as possible it on this because the atrocities and the crimes that are what is 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 that genocide 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, you know, using the accusation of genocide to mobile lies international responses. i mean, you know, as i said, this is really, you know, saying full, 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 see the international, the, the in difference and inaction, by the 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 hasn't been assigned enough for. but all the victims of atrocities elsewhere as well. and so i think um, again we say it is not of course is already too late, but definitely there is a window for the international community to correct the, you know, it's past. imagine 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 conflict could the stabilize the entire region that we are upset? let me see. some of the, you know, um, spill over in other places in your area and then it's where i saw early in this i region and therefore i think, and we actually were, i guess a split over for a while since last year that the, i don't, i think we did, it must immediately add to curb the violation the abuses. 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 quasi or think what the, the, the spill over of this, of this conflict and not in, in other places. and i think it could be even walk this traffic is that a national command does not intervene. t um you know, to respond to that. i'm going to trust that isn't that for right now. that was issued in analysts move talking all in speaking with me earlier. a british toddler who was born death can now here, thanks to a groundbreaking gene therapy. researchers say that it marks a new era and the treatment a difference. she might not be a musician yet, but also having her hearing restored. opal cannot hear the music she plays unaided

. she was boned completely desk because of the genetic mutation. the effect of surgery that took just 16 minutes amazed of howard's waiting the timing to coughing. all right. this was. opal has a mutation in a gene which should allow cells in the, in the air to communicate with the hearing of during the surgery, she received an infusion, which contains 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 the end of ours, we can drop a tiny little packet of genetic information into the cells. and that will promote 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. if you want to dw, do this after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day. we'll be right back. the

gemini, 1945, hundreds of thousands of women and girls were rates by soldiers of the full allied powers of to decades. the victims enact children of finally breaking the science and talking about the trauma that has shaped their entire lives. women as boys in 45 minutes on dw the
