a mid gains by russia on the battlefield. us from all of this, let's bring in our correspond currently in the gym or in teams. carleen, what does this stricter mobilization policy mean for ukrainian men living abroad? this is especially tragic terry, for man, between 18 and 60 years old to our living abroad. and one to renew their passports and their hundreds of this man, for example, in poland, who has been already queuing up in front of the consulates, trying to renew their passports. they cannot do any kind of paper works as ukrainian consulates, but only the process to come back home. and this has been highly criticized here in and t of also by members of the parliament saying that this has not been discussed during the whole program. procedure of the mobilization law, as some members of parliament are members of the committee of national security. even want to call in members of the administer impairing affairs. to ask them to

explain this issue. because this had apparently not been discussed and it seems to be a phrase on that might not even be legal. what does this mobilization say about how the war is going for ukraine? carolyn terry, you already mentioned it. ukraine needs manpower. they need more man on the front lines. it's not only weapons, it's also about soldiers a, the, she, the, the receive of the army said that they need at least $215000.00 more soldiers at the front line. and also we know that russian troops out number ukraine in troops, but up to 10 times this means that every ukrainians soldier, that they're at least 10 russian soldiers. so this already shows that russia has a significant advantage on this field. catalina, thank you very much. those are correspond currently that you more in keith as

well us present. joe biden has signed a bill into law authorizing billions of dollars and military aid for ukraine. a day earlier, lawmakers gave the final green light to the $61000000000.00 package, ending a months long stand off in congress. by them says supplies will soon be on their way. i'm making sure the shipment start right away. next few hours really be 2 hours from equipment to ukraine, for air, defense, munitions, for artillery rocker systems and armored vehicles. you know, this package is literally invest not only and brand new crimes, but in europe in our own, secure. while the 1st official shipment of a it is set to arrive in the next hours and days, us officials have confirmed that ukraine has begun using long range missiles

secretly shipped in recent weeks. as part of the previous a package. they say themselves were used for the 1st time in a strike on the russian airfield in crime. the last week, the army tactical missile systems were part of a $300000000.00 assistance package approved by the united states in march. us supplied mid range versions of the system. last september. this latest batch construct targets up to 300 kilometers away. it's catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. secretary of state's anthony blinking his called on the united states and trying to manage their differences responsibly. he made the comments during talks and shanghai with the city's communist party secretary, each engineering week and we'll head to beijing on friday, 4 talks with president gauging, paying for the spanish prime minister pedro sanchez is considering. standing

down, the court has opened an investigation into alleged corruption by his wife sanchez plans to give his decision on monday and has suspended public duties until that germany says and will resume funding for the un agency for policy. any refugees went wrong. germany was one of several countries that halted support. when is real accused, multiple employees of joining a mazda is terror attacks on october 7th, but an independent investigation said that is real, had not backed those claims up with evidence. well, israel has said that it's preparing to evacuate palestinians from the southern guys and city of rough uh and launch it's long awaited defensive there. the is really government claims that the bulk of hamas is remaining forces are hiding out. and rough up is almost a militant group, a mass carried out the october 7th terror attacks that triggered the war over

a 1000000 internally displaced. guidance are now living in rafa. media reports a israel has erected 40000 tents to accommodate those who will be forced to move again. once it begins, it's a solved. but this has yet to be officially confirmed. satellite images show collections of tents that were not there earlier this month. to the, let's pick up on that with our correspond to rebecca rivers in jerusalem. rebecca, there are reports that is real, is now planted to carry out and offensive. and rough in stages. does that mean is really scaling back its original plan for a full scale offensive? so that's very difficult to say is around not giving way exactly what they plan to do, but it is indeed all indications point to israel pushing ahead with its plan to offensive rafa. they've said so themselves. yes, today the is there any military concerns that the at least the 2 battalions to reserve battalions that were cooled up to prepare for this eminence offensive that

they were indeed ready and they were just waiting for a political green light. they're also reports yesterday that some very senior is ready. officials are in egypt to talk to their egyptian counterpart about this plan . defensive obviously ref, reference proximity to the egyptian board and makes it slightly different to some of the other offensive. we have seen and goes a sofa and so they were reportedly there to discuss their plans with the additional socrates. so when you talk about this phased plan, that is what we're hearing. although as i reiterate, i'll reiterate that we don't have confirmation from israel. exactly what their plans um, but this is what we're hearing, that there is a kind of plan phase. we know that the us has been putting on pressure for weeks, particularly, but also others including germany at to try to prevent the worst of humanitarian catastrophe. that would come with going in to integrate it into a rough or in a ground offensive with move and a 1000000 people sheltering their. uh so it does certainly appear and that's what

we're hearing. but this phased this phase, it's, you know, plan phase offensive is to try to evacuate many of the civilians that are there, we're hearing that it could take some weeks. so though this offensive is to, to begin as long as we expected it could take some weeks yet, terry felt satellite images are circulating that show new tent encampments in southern gaza. with those tense rebecca, be enough to accommodate and evacuation of rafa as well. we think we're talking around about 40000 tents. that's because we've heard that israel has procured 40000 tens. they haven't given any acknowledgement or they haven't commented on whether or not these 10 cabins that we're seeing via the satellite imagery is, is they work. we're also getting reports that they're being erected by egyptians and the way, uh, but of course, you know, with the, the approval and the, you know,

coordination of the as riley's um, you know, we're talking about 40010. so far, we're talking about a 1000000 more than a 1000000 people in rough a. um you, i'll leave you to do the math on that one. i don't think we're going to see a full evacuation of ruffled, but also we're getting a lot of reports on the ground that people civilians who are just exhausted from having news. sometimes up to 56 of the times in as a gradually have come down the street from the north, big evacuated into various different positions that they're just exhausted. and they simply, you know, we've heard so many people saying that they are willing to just die. and roster that they don't want to evacuate anymore. so we are hearing that this is going to be a slightly different offensive than the ones that we've seen, perhaps more targets in order to try to comply by those us and all the allied, the moms, the to not cause such a humanitarian catastrophe. and to try to keep civilian casualties teeth to a minimum. but as i say, you know, this could take some weeks we are talking about moving

a 1000000 people. and just with are all going to go really remains to be same. terry. rebecca, thank you very much. as always correspond to rebecca rivers there in jerusalem. it's now just over 24 hours, remain in an extension granted to pro palestinian protesters at columbia university in new york, before they faced eviction from a protest camp erected on campus police, arrested more than a 100 students last week and an attempt to quell the protest. against the israel's war and gaza, but the crackdown has inspired other protests at universities. across the united states, several colleges have closed campuses and hundreds of students had been arrested. that message for the speaker of the house was clear. as mike johnson visited columbia campus in new york of his thoughts on the protest, as well, also unequivocal my message to the students inside the encampment. if you go back

to class and stop the nonsense there, look, if we want to have a debate on campus about the merits of these things. let's do that. but you can't intimidate your, your fellow students and make them stay home from class. think about that, is that right? do you think that's right? stop wasting your parents money. congressman lawler says, i think that's right. the pressure on the schools administration over is handling of the protests is intensifying with many, including speaker johnson, calling for the president to resign. i will say that the administration has done just about everything possibly wrong. it can do so far. and every single moves they've made as a made things was the worst of all being calling police on peaceful perfect protesters who are mostly undergraduates of 18. 1920 s o. demonstrations have been given until friday to dispatch, before the police will be called in. but despite the amounts to call up,

the protests, students remain committed to the calls and supported by faculty. today marks one week since our 1st encampment on the south lawn, which was literally dismantled by n y p. d at the direction of columbia a columbia university. after approximately 34 hours of our demands, are the state divest, disclose and, and the see for all i think it's just been wonderful. the students have been very peaceful. they're very committed young people who are anti war anti violence, and pro palestinian liberation, columbia notified students that classes and exams for the rest of the semester. it will be offered online, bringing it to be looked into the academic year. these protests are fast becoming a political issue, both for republican house speaker mike johnson and for the democrat controlled

white house, dw correspondent pennyman over his group is at columbia university. he told us about the wider ramifications of these protests for us politics. this is definitely a nationwide topic. you just mentioned the white house. we also have the secretary of education. well wait in your say that and what he has seen on campus is it's a disgrace the wide how's the press release that they send out saying that anti semitism has no space, not only in any college across the country, but also anywhere. and as we are also the concerns of do a students, but also a faculty members of rugby close to the university even told us as students to stay away it. but they are, it's important to make a difference between the protest this protesting inside the university. but also also when we came here earlier today, we were hearing a some tens. also some people were here as saying and rejecting a 2 state solution quite different to the chance that we're here inside. but we can imagine that this will still develop as we see more and more universe. it is more of this protest also happening across the country. you're watching dw news from

berlin and coming up next we have for, for you with a look at why. so few women go into science and how to change that. i'm terry martin from me and all of us here at the w. and there's thanks for watching the, the, the diesel being used on in the, in the notes do big oil companies play a role in the destruction of the rain forest. the letter for luxury cars. awesome comes from illegal capital funds in the m as in the yes, the ocean view.
