war and gaza on their minds. this is the us secretary of state 7th visit to the middle east since the october 7th attacks. and he's urging home us to accept this deal. a 40 day cease fire and the release of palestinians imprisoned by israel in exchange for more than 30 is rarely hostages. held by him us from us has before the proposal that is extraordinarily, extraordinarily generous on the part of his room. and in this moment, the only thing standing between the people of guys and a cease fire is the most. they have to decide and they have to decide quickly, conditions and goss, i have worse. and in the past 2 days, dozens of people have died in east where the air strikes on the southern city, a for alpha. among the victims, members of the do to her family. one was just a small child the bottom and then we were sitting in the homes and then the house

was gone and we didn't know anything. everyone was sleeping in the bed. the displays, those wouldn't on displays come on in the most of these models with displays. in addition to the family living, you know that members of the family and the displays will care and they have nothing to do with anything. all of them are goes and women. it's elizabeth, i'll get the looking for is was still plans to invade rafa to route out what officials say or how mass militants hiding in the city. the new seas fire on the table is only an extended post. israel headset once it's over, it will resume it to solid on gaza, potentially worsening the scale of a humanitarian crisis. nearing its 7th months short while ago, i spoke with our jerusalem correspondent tony kramer. she gave me more on the ceasefire talks. that's why it's really hard to tell until it really happens. and as you said, uh we're waiting now and as well as waiting now for the on onset by

a honda. so just expect it any time soon could be today, could be in the coming days, and then we understand now that is really delegation within travel to cover to hang out more details. but there's some courses optimism. and i have to say, we've been here before of a saying that uh, how much is that? uh, they are looking at this positively and also that is well, has apparently, according to reports here in the is really media revised or substance. uh, it stands on several issues. no, there has been no, it has really officially published, but it says here that a 1st phase could see uh, 33 hostages being released. and exchange pul palestinians imprisoned in is really prisons for a, a longer pause in fighting and also the return of the palestinians of the house being displaced to the cells, to return to the north without

a direct inspection. um, but it is rarely soldiers. uh, there was a demand by home us, but also this know took about a possible uh, you know, restoration of a. com. uh, that seems to be in the wording his interesting, more in line to uh, seen as a demand behind most full time and then sees 5. you've seen that in previous conflicts, or was a com for com. but again, these are personal days, know ahead of me. you have to see what, how much is going to say there's great concern tanya, as you know about israel's plan defensive on the city of rough. uh, we're more than the 1000000 people are sheltering there and southern gaza if a deal is reached, some sort of pause and the funding would that mean is real? would not proceed with the ground operation and wrap them. i mean, what is there any officials you have said and it came also from a prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that he's insisting on this round operation in russell. and that has been also used, or it's in us being used as

a pressure tool on uh, on us. and as the right you said over 1000000 of people that have been displaced, multiple times are seeking some sort of show to of course, as we seen in the report as strikes are continuing across calls and also in a rough off. but of course uh, we also have seen strong opposition to such plans by it as well as closest all those united states and other countries. they have said if there's no credible plan to relocate or to bring people to safety, this should not go ahead as well as when it comes to a that is mainly still coming in through the rafa crossing. and also egypt, as one of the mediators has an interest to void such an operation as a, as this would happen as a, as it's doorsteps. basically just briefly to any of us secondary stages in the region, just in jordan today, expected to visit israel next. what message does he have for israel?

a while he's here on the, on a, a tour, again in the middle east. he's been here many times before. so he would push again for both sides to engage in directly to come to a deal. he also has said that how most of the court is the goal is no, and how must his court are waiting for this answer basically. but also calling on israel a to increase to monitoring age to garza, although is really officials have said it has been increased, but it doesn't meet the needs. and of course, is also a lot of pressure now ramping up on the government, in israel itself, with relatives and families of to hostages, saying there's no more time for their relatives being, husband goes and, and the deal needs to be made almost tanya, thank you very much that was our jerusalem, correspond antonio craver sketchup on

a few other stories making headlines today. at least 6 people were killed in a shooting other sheet mosque in western up dallas down on monday. the taliban government says and government storm the mosque and the rock province. no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the so called islamic state radical islamic group is on this group rather has a frequently targeted. she had sites in the region who t rebels say they've attacked to us navy vessels and to merchant ships off the coast of human western military sources confirmed at one merchant vessel was damaged, but continued on its course. the who the rebels are backed by a ran and describe directions as support for the palestinian people. the us is warning of a large scale massacre in sudan. the us and pastor to the united nation says an attack is being planned on the city of el pasha in the dark for a region more erupt. an incident and one year ago,

creating the world's largest displacement crisis. the philippines says chinese vessels have fired water candidate to philippine coast guard boats in disputed waters in the south china sea. according to the philippine authorities, one of their boats was damaged in the incident on tuesday. the consultation occurred after china blocked access to the scarborough show fishing water is traditionally used by the philippines. china claims, most of the region has its own dismissing rival claims by the philippines and other countries. dw, is james change or is following the story for us from taipei. he has more on this latest maritime clash as well. as you mentioned, really dramatic page has emerging from the south. china see what we saw. there is a philippine coast called vessel surrounded. really, on both sides by 2 chinese coast going vessels firing what we understand was pretty

high, what the pressure canon's at the philippine vessels. and as you mentioned, we understand about philippine coast con vessel has sustained some damage. now we know that this incident took place near the scarborough show. this is a rock formation where a reef in the south china sea, which has really been front and center of these ongoing marathon industries between china and the philippines. and our country has over and see over the scottish, oh, but it's been the center of ongoing maritime disputes. given the china claims, the scottish shoulders within its circle, 9 dash line. this is a stretch of water, almost the entirety of the south china sea, which china claims its own. despite the 2016 court ruling that it had no legal basis to do so. in the philippines, very pa, it's pa, it says these wants as a positive. it's exclusive economic zone and say that china as a growing assertiveness in this region impinges on the rights of its fishermen. and raises their prospects of confrontation in the south trying to see a critical,

what's the way for global trade. this of course, is not the 1st time we've seen this kind of incident to what message is being trying to send with these confrontations in the south. china st. james william for, for key contacts is a, this is a, this incident comes as the u. s. and the philippines are undertaking the largest annual military drills, the ballot time exercises with a cold shoulder to shoulder with some $16000.00 personnel taken calls in those drills, which for the 1st time this year includes maritime drills, taking place outside of the philippine territory. awards is with in it's exclusive economic zone and conducting drills very much with altercations, with badging like this in mines. i'm the critical contacts that goes on depending on if they so is it washington is mutual defense, tracy ally of the philippines and so is tracey bound to come to the defense of many law. should it come under type by 4, and 4th,

this is something that the philippine president, the marcus junior, has reiterated recently saying that if the filipino service mean is killed in an instant, likes like this, this could be something that triggers the mutual defense tracy with washington and so really poor concerns that this latest escalation is ongoing saga of maritime disputes. could be one, brings washington and beijing into direct conflicts, real flash pointers or a james traitor and ty, pay. thank you very much. now for the war and ukraine, where at least 2 people have been killed in several wounded in the latest russian air strikes on car keys, ukraine's 2nd city, which is close to the russian border, has increasingly been the target of attacks in western ukraine at least 5 people were killed in 30 wounded in a russian missile attack on the key black sea port of odessa. one of the buildings badly damaged was this law school, popularly known as the harry potter castle of the. so with the front line situation

worsening ukraine has been stepping up recruitment efforts as part of a new mobilization walk. eve has stopped issuing passports and providing consular services for military age man. our next report looks of what this means for ukrainians abroad, including those living here in germany, to the q outside the ukranian passport service in cologne, germany, ukrainian man hid their faces from the camera, trying to get their documents before the new law on mobilization came into force without success, the passport office said it was experiencing a technical failure. that meant that not only draft invaders, but all ukrainians of military age could not obtain documents. sarah had left the country legally before russia invaded ukraine. his son will soon be 17 and plants, the study of how the family would like to go back. but the feelings, due to both my sons and my passports are ready,

but i cannot get them in ukraine. they say your passport is in germany and in germany they say we're not giving it to you. we are one of the name of the technical problems that ukrainian passport services abroad coincided with a foreign ministry is announcement that man of mobilization age would be able to obtain passports only in ukraine. starting on may 18th, all male citizens, if you crane who are abroad, will be required to register for military service. however, it's not yet clear exactly how to do this outside the country and what documents they'll have to submit. meanwhile, lawyers say all mail ukrainian citizens, including those who have lived abroad since birth, are subject to the draft. the german government has not commented on keith's decision to stop providing these consumer services. but the interior ministry has said that you crania and man would not be deprived of refugee status in germany. it's mine, as the tennessee says,

i'm confident that this will not affect the status of refugees from ukraine who need protection, regardless of whether they are women, to either vast majority of such refugees or men. that's what this state is, is valid directly throughout the european union, precisely because of the flight from the russian war of aggression. so it should not affect it speak. the house disposition has to be done. but when dw asked whether ukrainian man could receive german documents with an expired, ukrainian passport, ministry said this would be announced later. ukraine's government meanwhile says that ukrainian men have note only rights, but also responsibilities, including protecting the state. and key of says it is necessary to regulate the situation when many men of military age live abroad. on the other hand, poland says it will help return ukrainian men of conscription age when their passports expire. if keep requested. earlier i spoke with

d. w as eastern european editor room and gone to ranko, i asked him, what are, what he makes of ukrainian console is saying they can't issue passports due to a technical problem as well. it looks like um your credit is indeed in a very dire situation. um, so the russian army is advancing and ukraine is not having enough ammunition, and those are enough men to stop that. and in this situation, the pregnant government is improvising this is obvious. so there is this new conscription law that's with her that will come into force in may. and there is a and this stop of old legal services. no, just um, they'll just eastern passports for your brain and man of constrict, conscription, age and uh there are also some changes changes. um we've heard that the those who applied before april 25th, they will get the passport. so this is a sign of improvisation. this will be regulated, i think, in the coming weeks because there are hundreds of thousands of your pregnant men of

conscription, a conscription age, leaving abroad, bought a lot of them. and i have absolutely legal reasons not to go to fight. so they live to you or they have more than 2 children, 3 and more. so some of them uh may have may have illnesses. so um that it will take time to regulate this issue. but you kind of has no time at the moment because the situation is upset is very, very dangerous. but stopping to provide legal services to your citizens abroad. that so that's quite a, quite a move uh is it legally acceptable run on for a country just off issuing passports to men of military age because this sounds like it could be your basic rights issue, other no international regulations on this? it absolutely. so, um buchanan is saying that they and they have suspended, issuing a passport. so providing legal services to your grandsons. you can men leaving

abroad. i think they will change that regulation so that it is in compliance with international law at the moment. it is, it is an an issue of debate between lawyers in ukraine itself and abroad. what is possible, what is not possible? it could be problematic that they know this. a suspension came before they knew mobilization law came into force. so we will see in the coming days, if there are any cullum claims legal claims against the crime and government. so where does this leave all those ukranian men living abroad? what options do they have in this situation? well the, the, all these options are um the, basically what you great in government wants them to do is to register to register in the registry where the parent and government can see if those people can be called up to fight or they cannot. so if they do that, they can just continue living as they live before it may be they will be drawn to

fight in the army. but on the other hand, some part of them could be pushed into illegality. we don't know how many roland. thank you very much. that was the w. eastern europe editor, a roman gunshot echo now to kenya and the countries interior ministry says at least 46 people were killed by flash flooding in the south west. on monday, scores more. people remain missing. the raging waters swept away houses and cars at a time when large parts of the country they've already been inundated by weeks of heavy rain. can use president william router on tuesday charities special cabinet meeting to discuss the emergency situation. the government promised help for thousands of people who lost everything of the people try to salvage what they can as the search for survivors continues in kenya's rift valley

. the flash flooding and suing land, slide submerged roads and homes authorities warren, the death toll is likely to rise. the powerful flood uprooted many trees as the water spilled down stream dropping vehicles and blocking major roadways. local residents are joining the can you read cross society with search and rescue efforts? no new ranking. many people have died quite often and we have saved around a 1000 people this morning to come. i mean, not your amo victims, but we don't know if the data that you have this thing taken to hospital when they don't be tardy. the disaster struck and the dead of night, those recovering at the local hospital recount harrowing stories about the water carrying away loved ones into the night almost done. i mean, you know,

my youngest daughter was holding onto my back while we were in the water and she was begging me not to leave her on the i to do it. i reassured her and told her to hold onto the nearby flushing debris. well, i mean fortunately, she's gone now that was done. my eldest daughter was in the hospital, you know, the rest of the children the disaster took place in the town of my, my, you some 60 kilometers north west of the capitol, nairobi. police initially blamed the flooding on a burst of them. it's now believed a debris. clogged gully may have been the source of the tragedy. flash floods and heavy rains of displaced thousands of canyons in recent weeks. the government says health is on the way. i as an investigation, has been launched to determine the cause of this latest flash blood dw is

purely spring a. is in my, my you, he gave us an update on the flooding situation there. well, the situation is still by the people's faces. i feel shocked at what heats the community these i lots of activities going on just behind me. uh series that had lots of barricaded the roads. i've been caught to just clear. uh. traffic was um, was blocked, ends now its flowing easily on low cost or low. vide, they're just trying to see what happened to that area. we'll just have a shelter where people who are rescued are being held in a lot of them. sad face. these people are being offered psycho social supports by they cannot read cross and families. i've asked some people are praying, some people are just hoping that the a king would be received as in the hospital getting

a treatment. so the situation is quite wide. and then what tells us seems to loading uh, this is just uh, parts of the what does that to walk flowing downstream and they came with a lot of destruction. so people are just trying to create a destruction. a lot of people that have been hired to ensure that the debris is clear and big place is much clearer. tell us more about how can you and authorities are responding to this flooding? do they have the resources that they need to to deal with it and to help the people well, this morning, the president has a cabinet meeting and he goes from i'm going to say i just feel vibrational. nope. i recently involved with anybody or ford stuff that was the i didn't feel for recently will also be coordinating rescue for the remaining people who i asked will be following a lot of families have said that i think i'm missing. so the only thing i do see

a virus on is the responsible for the rest you they, we have also seen a lot of tens that are coming where people can now be able to sleep blankets like i mean. and the government has said that they would provide food and shelter temper road show tough for the people as they look for a long term plan. the president has said that the government will be setting aside money to ensure that the victims actually taken care of. so in the long run victim could be hopefully that's something we come out of what they want to go to a seal party. so it comes up with a nice thank you very much for that update. that was our correspondent, fedex moving in my, my you and and l. pine town in northern italy is hosting its annual festival dedicated to raising awareness about climate change. and this year the focus is near and dear to the regions, heart, melting, glaciers artists from 17 countries to send it on breast, and no ne,

which is called bricks and by the towns german speakers to create dozens of like installations shifting lights on the topic, the to fact so, so the theme of the bricks and water light festival is melting. lacy is the public library, local train station and even churches are illuminated by large installations that the altar type will inspire people to reflect on this global challenge. and we tried to combine these to was the i will with that climate change and i will we though the climate change. so right now we change to the a well we though the climate change the hour, i'll be a then we think that the, these i know they'll be over the weekend try to get there. it is an issue that is

close to him for this small city nestled in the outs and know the net to me x, but predict that with the current rate of climate change, the nit bike lacy as could be gone within the next 3 decades. visitors to bricks and say they found the public all show illuminating. it's a totally different way of approaching these very important topics. and especially from my personal fund, a few i think it's easier accessible if you just transform it uh or if you communicate it and the way of art. i think the climate change and also the why there is like so important for us also for the future. so i really, really like this to rates as if the outdoor exhibition. so big hopes that the festival in spies action to tackle climate change, or you're watching dw news from berlin, we're coming up in just
