12:04 pm
people were injured. as global calls mount for an end to the blood the white house says president biden told it and yet when a phone call that he supported a cease fire but stopped short of calling for one. a cease fire that is gently needed as the violence on both sides continue to spiro. let's take a closer look at this with the double reporter should he resign this welcome shinee just look now is. how much rocket attacks are slowing the israeli violence israeli israeli retaliation is easing off does this mean that we're we're reaching an end to this violence well we're definitely in a position of stalemate and people both sides are not quite sure how to move forward how to bring you know neither one of them wants to be seen as the weak and they're still looking for this decisive determine it you know determine strike that will show ok now we can go out with a boom in
12:05 pm
a way or not just really figuratively and literally so they're still looking for that what we're seeing is that both sides have already kind of wearing out the media goals that they've had and now they're kind of yeah they need to find a way out and they're stuck this this has taken longer than anybody expected really they've been and this was expected to be available in a couple of there indeed indeed definitely israeli officers in intelligence and so on they were quite surprised with hamas you know sustaining fire for so long and such such. for the hopefully i'm and very you know very ambitious goals into tel aviv into jerusalem and beyond israel's policy has always been to respond massively to a 2 attacks the fact that this is slowing down does this mean that israel thinks he's closer to achieving its goal or is it does he have an eye on domestic and international criticism at that have both a bit of both there is no doubt there is this going on rest in israel there's no schools there was a holiday that was actually israelis have to have spent time you know engine bob's
12:06 pm
shelters so and there's a big fear in israel from what's happening in other fronts what's happening inside israel with arab palestinians that are in israel in the mix it is something that is extremely fragile and tense you know very high volatility these days and there's looking also into the west bank if the west bank flames out west bank flames up and we're seeing there. more and more attempts this morning we've just seen an attempt for a for an attack and have broader than israel know this will be much harder to contain and sustained stop and this is also partially why they're looking for some conclusion some end to at this by the fact that officially few here the chief of staff of the military there saying we still have at least 48 more hours to go it's not quite clear where these 48 hours will lead us in the sense of the dynamics of fighting and retaliation and a small but significant change in the style and so that certainly that the words being used by u.s. president joe biden now saying that he supports
12:07 pm
a cease fire right. which doesn't sort of much what he said in his 1st call to benjamin netanyahu right well he's he's under a lot of pressure within the democratic party the progressive part of the party is being very vocal about how unhappy they are with the stand israel you know and the americans are giving him the by the administration the backing it's giving israel and he sees this pressure bubbling and boiling and he needs to show at least a bit more at least in rhetoric a bit more intention of being involved in this so he has not shown to be too eager to jump into the middle east you know hot hot hot affairs. it's hard for him up however to back off we've seen joe biden the history is as a politician for 50 years he's always been a in israel backer and he's a bit torn here between what where he stands and what his party is trying to get him where his party is trying to get him to go ok but some boys at least in the
12:08 pm

12:17 pm
explained of say water which borders morocco it is in northern africa it is part of the european union and as such has long been a magnet for migrants seeking a better life. most of these new arrivals reach same to by swimming some 2 kilometers along the coast of morocco or using inflatable boats scaling this 10 metre high wall is one of the only other options of getting into saved or spain a wreck to the fence to try to close off the land route. but this is not stop some migrants from trying their luck over the years. madrid say several 100 managed to get into same to each year but many are deported back to where they came from as they have no right to asylum in the e.u. . most of those arriving of the last few days will also be sent back to morocco. some reports suggest moroccan pleas allowed so many to move towards the border in the 1st place because of a diplomatic spat with spain over another issue. but officials in madrid say they
12:18 pm
have already reached an agreement about sending the migrants back and when now we enforcing security to prevent further arrivals. for police here in germany say they've caught a key suspect in a high profile jewelry heist 2019 by van fief stole priceless historical jewels and artefactual the famous green evolved museum in the eastern city of dresden a police raid the latest arrest touring a raid on a flat in berlin on monday night despite searches of more than a dozen locations there's still no sign of the stolen loot. and get more from t.w. political correspondent tom a sparrow in maine. let's start with this arrest what happened. phil this is such an important arrest for german police this is a person a 22 year old man as is being described previously evaded police on various
12:19 pm
occasions one who has been described as the last main suspect directly linked to this heist in november 29th teen police have now arrested 5 people in total who are considered to have a direct link to the to the heist and this person the 22 year old man that was arrested in bali is also a relative of one of those who had been arrested previously there were arrests in november 2020 in december 2020 and now this particular arrest this opens more questions for authorities as they try not only to find out whether further people were involved in the highest but also what happened to the items that were stolen the 22 year old person but also the other 4 that had been arrested are said to belong to a clan in the bud lane that is linked to the criminal underworld right now this green vote heist made headlines around the world just remind us how big a deal this was. absolutely it made headlines around the world when it happened in
12:20 pm
2019 the whole process as well in the next the last few months has also got a lot of headlines here in germany and just such it is certainly one of the most important developments in germany's recent history when it comes to 2 museum heists the green vault in dresden is one of the main touristic sides of the city but it's also described the feel as one of the europe's biggest treasure collections and in 29000 during that heist very important items were stolen items that have been described as of incalculable historical value we're talking here of cufflinks we're talking here of jewelry we're talking here of swords which will be even of a very important white diamond so this gives you an idea of just how important how significant this is and why authorities are particularly interested now in trying to find out what happened to these items because one of the main fears that are authorities have when it comes to these kinds of incidents is that the items are
12:21 pm
then destroyed and sold separately or at least distributed separately because obviously it is impossible to sell assault or a very important diamond that people actually know about so this is important for authorities and it certainly opens up the possibility for them to try and identify some of the biggest clues linked to this very important heist so one suspect in custody where does that leave the investigation. it leaves the investigation with the 2 key questions that i already stressed one exactly what happened to those stolen items and the 2nd important issue whether other people were involved authorities do believe that other people could have been involved in assistive roles or not directly as the the 5 people that i already mentioned but assisting in other ways so this is where authorities are now looking towards and this is what authorities now are trying to resolve to political correspondent tom aspirant thank
