Rescue teams have retrieved around 60 bodies from under the rubble in the Shejaiya neighborhood in Gaza City, officials in the Hamas-run territory say. Gaza's civil defense agency said the discovery came just hours after Israeli troops withdrew from the area. Images from the site showed the extent of the destruction. Residents told AFP news agency, they returned to find nearly all their homes had been demolished. Israel's military said it had now completed its two-week mission in Shejaiya and that its forces had moved on to other parts of Gaza City.

Finland's parliament is set to vote on a bill granting border guards the power to turn back asylum seekers coming from Russia. It is expected to pass, as both the ruling right-wing coalition and many opposition lawmakers are backing it.

For more on, we talk to our correspondent Teri Schultz in Brussels.

US President Joe Biden says he's still running for president – telling journalists he can get the job done. Biden appeared at a news conference in Washington at the end of NATO's 75th anniversary summit. He spoke at length about his achievements in office, saying he was the best qualified person to run for president. Biden's mental fitness has been under scrutiny since he appeared confused at a debate last month. Several top Democrats have withdrawn their support for his re-election campaign this coming November. DW's Bejamin Alvarez Gruber has more on the reaction to Joe Biden's latest verbal slip-ups.

According to a newly published survey, 75 percent of Jews living in Europe feel they are being held responsible for the actions of the Israeli government. That was one of the key findings of the study by the EU's Fundamental Rights Agency. It was compiled before the Hamas terror attacks and the resulting war in Gaza. Jewish community organizations have separately registered a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents since October 7, 2023. The EU study found that 80% of respondents feel that antisemitism has grown in their country, with 90% saying they have encountered antisemitism online. Moreover, 76% said they feel they sometimes have to hide their Jewish identity. Chapters 00:00 Anne Frank statue vandalized in Amsterdam 00:58 Lorenz Blumenthaler, Amadeu Antonio Foundation

After a long dispute, the German government and German mobile network operators have agreed on a comprehensive ban on Chinese 5G technology. The compromise took the form of a public-law contract to prevent claims for damages. Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser saw an urgent need for action because she wanted to protect Germany against the risks of sabotage and espionage in the expansion of the networks. Under the compromise, providers will have more time to make the switch and can continue to use basic elements from Huawei and ZTE. In return, the providers commit to a nationwide replacement - and not just in geographical proximity to federal ministries and sensitive institutions. The critical components may no longer be used in the core network by the end of 2026. These are the central 5G data centers for data transmission. In the second step, the access and transport networks, such as radio masts, will be affected.

The United States will begin stationing long-range missiles in Germany from 2026. Washington and Berlin say the deployment cements their commitment to NATO and European defense. The agreement includes Tomahawk, SM-6, and hypersonic missiles. The weapons are nuclear-capable and have a range of more than two thousand kilometers. They were banned under a treaty with Russia until the US withdrew from that treaty five years ago. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed the decision.

According to CNN, the U.S. and Germany foiled a Russian assassination attempt on Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger this year. U.S. intelligence agencies informed German authorities about the plot, who then took action on Papperger's behalf, the U.S. news channel reported on Thursday, citing several official sources. Russia is said to have planned the attack on Papperger because of the German arms manufacturer's deliveries to Ukraine. The CNN report went on to say that Moscow had planned a series of assassinations of European arms industry executives who were assisting Ukraine in its war against Russian invading forces. However, the plan to assassinate the head of Rheinmetall was the most advanced.

NATO says Ukraine is on an 'irreversible' path to membership. At the alliance's 75th anniversary summit in Washington, member states also pledged 40 billion euros inaid to Kyiv next year. And some recent deliveries to Ukraine appear to be making a difference on the battlefield. Following Russia's spring offensive against Ukraine's second city Kharkiv, NATO partners gave Kyiv the green light to use their weapons to target Russian territory. That has helped to stall the Russian advance.

Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs and face poverty in the occupied West Bank. Israel revoked Palestinian work permits in the wake of last year’s October 7 terror attacks by Hamas – even though that militant group is based in Gaza, not the West Bank.

For more on this, we can cross over to Gaza and bring in Scott Anderson, who is the Director of Affairs in Gaza for UNRWA – the United Nations relief agency for Palestinian refugees.

Inequality in Europe has been rising, with the rich getting richer and more people falling into poverty. Also rising: frustration. Now, even wealthy people are calling for higher taxes.

Israeli cabinet member Amichai Chikli says Israel has no choice but to continue its military operations as long as Hamas exists as a military organization. The hardline politician dismissed concerns that Hamas was an “idea” that could never be defeated. Chikli told DW’s Tim Sebastian that he didn’t care about “the idea of Hamas” even if it had more supporters as long as it was defeated militarily. The minister also defended the use of bombing despite the high number of civilian casualties, saying that Israel warns civilians to flee. Chikli said that in his view the only conclusion that could be drawn from the October 7 Hamas attack was to never accept full Palestinian statehood.

How can a 40-ton vehicle become climate-neutral? Which technology will be used? Battery-electric drives, hybrid drives, the hydrogen-powered fuel cell? What role will synthetic fuels, so-called e-fuels, play? How could the military produce its own fuel on the territory of NATO member states? After all, the German armed forces have to be climate-neutral by 2045, while the US army has to achieve this goal by 2050. 00:00 Intro 01:32 Battery electric drive 03:27 Hybrid drive 05:12 E-Fuels 06:34 Fischer-Tropsch synthesis 10:17 Fuel cell drive 11:51 Conclusion
