this shipment was supposed to consist of 3500 bonds. 1800 of them weighing 900 kilograms and others a weighing 225, a kilogram. so $3000.00 for a $500.00 in total. according to this official with a focus of the us being concerned that these explosives could, it'd be use indeed in dense and settings, and rough and solving cause of the white house has repeatedly stressed that 8 opposes and invasion of rough line solving gaza has hinted at many times that it could indeed limit a military aid to israel. something many, not only here in washington have been asking, and for months now on tuesday, president biden reiterated what he called was an iron clad commitment not only to the safety of jewish people, but also to the state of israel, and he added, even if we disagree but during that speech at the us capitol tomorrow call, cuz remember and stay, president biden did not mention this decision to withhold the bombs that we're

hearing now. but this was only a matter of time. the question is rather why it took so long for the united states effectively use it's leverage and not just voice criticism. width is rarely countered pods behind a close doors is rarely official says close to this weapon. so it holds to access to a you as a media it broadcast to here earlier this week, but the us officials refuse to confirm it either privately or during briefings. and now we're getting this information off of and us official. so where does this then leave relations between the united states and as well? it does seem to suggest that there is quite a bit of tension going on behind the scenes. so that's right. and that the relations between both countries are really strained between both governments. a number of biden's democratic allies in congress have if a week's attempt to limit or to hold on shipments a to israel, also welcoming a this decision that we're hearing and now but a present by and had it refused to do so until now. and the fact that washington finally did so shows how the frustration is growing among administration officials

that there is rarely counterparts, not hearing you as warnings against a major operation in reference to this new decision is indeed the latest sign of the growing rift between both governments and also more pressure that washington is now putting on the government. defend you minute then. yeah. when israel thank you for that. that is dw correspondent benjamin oven is grover in washington. more than a 1000000 displays post indians have been sheltering in rafa. but as well as renewed attacks and evacuation orders mean that many are now on the move. again, united nations has repeated it's warning, but you, mandatory and supplies are running low. israel has taken a complete control over access to gospel by seizing the roof of border crossing with egypt. make shift shelters in a sea of rubble and debris. it is fun, eunice is a ruin yet thousands of palestinians have begun to return of to israel ordered them

to evacuate. parts of the southern, most of the city of russell is riley forces. have seized control of the rep for crossing on the border with egypt. the attack came just hours of to hum us says it accepted a ceasefire proposal. one that israel says was unacceptable that i thought the homeless proposal was intended to prevent the entry of our forces into rough. uh, it did not happen as the war cabinet unanimously determined to how much proposed was very far from israel. it's necessary requirements. the attack was not the full scale ground defensive that many have fitted. but in seizing the check point is rarely forces have halted all humanitarian aid, passing through the crossing ceasefire. negotiations are ongoing, but they stand on a nice edge we have that's of the size, the moment for the policy that these valley people and for the sites of the entire

region. and the agreement between the governments of israel and the sheep of moss is essential to stop the unbearable suffering. good fellow stevens in regards to the end of the officers. and that fabulous, almost half of causes population fled to their homes to shelter in rough or now they must fully, again but with so much of the territory and ruins many a losing hope. 1 is one the same as me, the higher i'm tired of life because there is no life in gaza? gaza has no future. that is still up. when are our children going to learn if the schools are closed? yes, because it has no health facilities and no hospitalization. and what kind of life is this old eyes and now on the negotiations in cairo, as mediators attempt to salvage what ever remains of a possible se, se file has online or from the international committee. of the red cross is in rasa

. i asked him what his organization is able to do for people in gaza right now. thank you for this question. this past weekend process, disappointing be health care system in gather from the following. despite all the stuff came to row be continued support. the remain on the hospital that is left in gaza. that is capable of providing about software service status, the gas. you don't have a surgical team that has been working for months and living there as well, providing a best range of health care services. we also support community kitchen centers that provides thousands of off b as in daily basis to thousands of families in child and go to shop and drop off in the middle of the area. we support the votes or a trucking efforts to help people have access to clean water and meet the quantum standards. we support the 7 defense with the basic equipment that helped them extracted buddies spend under the rumble of their houses of the houses for 4 weeks

. now, we're trying to maximize the entire response. we're trying to reach as much people who are the possible. however, this remains, i'm dropping the ocean. if the student is easy, because as long as there is a change of, of finding this child states integrates or needs, that would be definitely our net challenges are our fast 1st, there's no security guarantees for our movement. the, the 8, the, the, the 8 that has been significantly increase to enter gals, the boss, we need to change and to our robust flow, 8 unimpeded lead. absolutely safely so that we ask you me to tell you just can't carry it the hundreds of thousands of people who are in desperate need for it across the street and us out and a session. my motto from the i c r c. speaking to me earlier, we can take a look now at some other world news headlines at this hour. here in germany, a leading social democrat politician has been attacked and treated in hospital for,

for injuries. police say francisco give 5 sustained light interest when an unknown assailant hit her with a bag containing a solid object. this is the latest in a series of attacks on politicians in germany. russia has, once again attacked ukraine's energy grid from the air ukrainian authorities. a power generation and distribution facilities has been attacked in 6 regions, including around the capital. tiff technicians are working to repair the damage with warnings. it could lead to nationwide power cuts according to law. and jones, when it has been sworn in as the 1st minister of scotland, the scottish national party veterans surfaced deputy 1st minister and finance minister under previous features. he replaced with homes and yourself who resigned last week is key challenge will be to repair the s m p 's reputation after a spring up scandals and a north korean propagandist to help to build personality called the wrong 3 leaders

from the kim dynasty has died at the age of $94.00 ken mckee now loved the department for propaganda and was in charge of north korea's top newspaper in the 1970s. currently there kim jong own, paid tribute to him in the capital chung. yes. and a hong kong the appeals court has granted the government's request to ban a popular protest anthem glory to hong kong was often sung at mass anti government demonstrations in 2019 critics to save the band further of roads, freedom of expression, since china cracked down on the protest movement in hong kong, the city government also demanded online platforms move the song of correspondence . phoebe collins told me more about this song that is now effectively outlawed across on con as well. um, this is an unprecedented ban on like a single song that is the 1st house of blood president scenes. hong kong was headed back to chinese rules in 9097. so it's a really

a landmark ruling today that originally the whole coal government filed the injunction application last 2 years, teaching it to a to you back to sleep and the phone, but it was rejected by the lower court. last year. the judge was done about backs and citing, press freedom and free speech concerns which may generate, eventually effective, as he said. but a year later, the governments made an appeal and now they appeal. court. officially crowns had the approval to effectively find the protest song of but like any one put on his hands to uh, endanger national security. you do uh, distribution uh, publish or like play the phone would be illegal or from now on. um, though the court has also given sudden exemptions are for academic and john listing activities if they're legally like using the song. but um, that definition would be like in the hands of the future court if there's any light

dispute site regarding like what kinds of activities are with the legal in the academic and press scope. so now the government's out is not like eroding any kind of press feed on because it is targeting the legal and malicious activity. so tell us a little bit more about what kind of effect this will have. what are the broader implications of this span of luck? while rachel, hong kong was known as the unofficial anthem of the 2019, the massive anti government chose test by 2 years ago. that was one of the largest social movements in hotels history. i'm the song image during that protest, most movements uh it was written by a group of anonymous protest is online and it was descriptive of light of and reproduced in, in dozens of foreign languages. so it us like

a very popular among not only protesters for regular residents and home home, but almost like everyone know how to sing the song. we have seen lots of single long securities and lots of protests activities surrounding the song. so it's, uh, it was a symbol of the i'm defiance and also solidarity of whole people. but now this injunction is, is significant. this far beyond the protests and the movement itself. but if this is a 1st time the government actually seek a court order to ask the internet service provider, a site and the tech jones, i google meta, and many music streaming platforms to actually remove or the least solve the problem is platform. so the critics very that it could be a very fast our president is an example for the government to. * the tech julians and these kinds of online platform to sense or certain content um on the court order. so that could be something that people worry about that in the future.

government could of file similar uh, injunction application to ban anything about themed as a threat off of the national security, the eyes of aging. and thank you so much for that. that is data v as fee recall in hong kong for us. let's get a quick reminder now of the top story we're following for you. us officials, i say the bite in the ministration paused and armed shipment is around last week. the unnamed official pointed to concerns about the bonds being used and they planned as rarely and station of the city of rafa and southern casa. and just before we go, some news for the eurovision song contest of fans. the 1st 10 competing nations have gone through to the finals. ireland are among those progressing into the last stage of the world's biggest musical competition. they secured their place for the witchcraft is fired. performance. ukraine's do also impress along with a nother fan favorite coefficient is i can send the final kicks off the week.
