the, i'm gonna have it off as well, come to the program. and we begin in lebanon, where a top hamas official has been killed in an explosion in bay, whoops, the group's deputy political liter. sorry i wrote 3 and 6 of those were killed in the strike on an apartment building 11 in state drawn news agencies that the attack was carried out by israel. is there any government has stopped short of confirming it was behind the strike? the optimist of a deadly strike in the house of lebanon tooling. one of the most is most seeing if he gets in the suburbs of bay roots. eye witnesses described hearing a drawing before the blast. the sound comes to us. at about $530.00, we heard the sound of an explosion. then another explosion,

followed by some last few seconds. later on, there was lots of smoke will be the explosion, shook our office upon on tennessee. you saw a re, was deputy to mazda, is political. leda is smell honey, a, and a found a of the groups military wing, the old cassandra gates. a mazda is designated as a terrorist group by the us and a you, among others. and a very was on a us terrorist list. he had spent, he is in his riley prisons, at the time it is desiree was leaving, and 11 on as a mazda is t liaison with the lebanese militant group has blah every, all sort headed up. mazda is presence in the occupied west bank, and his hometown was ramallah. suppose is the stage to riley in response to news of his death. so this is not the end. the if they killed one of the leaders more leaders anymore,

the police seen and we'll take the flag and we'll continue the the the fighting against basic evasions of israel has not claimed responsibility for the strike. officials generally do not comment on operations outside of israel and the palestinian territories, but his riley officials had previously vowed to hunt down am oscillators where ever they are. then for 11 on the striking bay rouge is seen as a violation of its territory. the lebanese prime minister called it an attempt to pull his country into israel's wall with moss fulton, the hezbollah and israel have been exchanging new daily fire along the lebanese is riley bordeaux since the war began. the strike deep and lebanese territory has raised concerns of a major retaliation from his blood that would say the wall spread fall out across these rails northern bordeaux dw, postpone

a ton of trim that joins us now from jerusalem to israel as not yet confirmed or denied the killing of all every but the the have been have there been any reactions from the israeli side? well, there's also no expectation that is of which confirm and the killing of so a movie of you've heard from some politicians here, but generally we also heard from the the advise of prime minister benjamin netanyahu. mccrae and it's in las vegas in the interview with an american uh network. he was also not confirming anything just saying that it was targeting him us and certainly not an attack on the new states as well. it has sent from the very beginning from the turbo tax, the on october 7th that it will, will go off to the almost leadership that is also a broad notes just to of, to you all have seen why the, how most of the to engage and it has a history of

a talkative assessing nations, but we also heard from the army last night. this book's person down near the hot already. he said that the army is highly prepared for any scenario. and that's uh, the army is also the military is a very high state of readiness and or arenas when it comes to the defense and also of pins. and of course, we understand that it was no bracing for some sort of response when evidence will come. because in the past weeks and days we have seen tensions rising at the board to be slipping on between israel and living on with a load of clothes for the attacks. so how much of a blow is the death of a reef? a full full home us well, he is considered a very high figure in the hum us leadership and we heard it in the report. he

has been one of the sound is of the article, some brigades, the military ring of from us is menu connected to the operations in the occupied wes thing, but it's also the one keeping the relations with iran, the seen some of the photos circulating on a social media of to his killing and he's part of this leadership uh, that is abroad. and uh, as research is run, has made clear to really go off to these leaders. of course there is a menu on yahoo. assume we're in garza but also all the other leaders that are road . but of course it's very risk also by going off to them to increase their the chances of provider escalation in the region. now you mentioned that that could be a response from has but was hezbollah said sofa?

well, husband, i said in his statement that this with no, not go unpunished, quoting, it's a serious assault on living in and dangerous developments. they have been saying previously that any assistant nation, a or a system nation attempts on liber needs a territory would be met or is it a fetus responds? and now this is of particular concern because this didn't happen in southern living on where we have seen those tensions between israel and living and but it happened in the stronghold in southern b route. so we also heard from the news, prime minister in the sheep, i'm ecology saying the content, the killing and saying it aims to door living on further into, into the war. so this also shows what his bullet will know was thinking of basically um, you know, they have to look at the domestic situation when they actually drag the country

into avoid to all conflict with israel. but also that they have to respond because the credibility is also at stake. they expecting um that the um, his facility to send this by law to give it plan speech. it was planned for today later today if that happens and to hear more from him. but of course, the region right now seems to be especially also him is around a bit on a holding pattern because everybody is waiting to see what will happen him, the coming hours or days of correspondence and excitement that reporting from jerusalem. thank you, tonya. starting out to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. and the us donald trump, has appealed against the ruling. removing him from the presidential primary ballot and the state of main. last week, the former president was banned from running by mains top election official over

his role in the january 6 sold on the us capital. our community hoford's university presidents, claudine gay has resigned. she was on the $54.00 alleged plagiarism and her testimony at a congressional hearing last month. okay. had refused to say on the critically that's coals on campus. more for the genocide of jews would violate not university policy. right. the free exchange of ideas depends prime minister for me if a sheet of assess the country, it has reached a critical point. as rescue is raised to find survivors of the powerful as quick that struck the country on new year's day. the desk told has no reason to 60 to thousands of people believe to still be dropped on the collapse buildings and the rain is full cost in the you should come up with it to where the quick it's that has prompted phase of land slides which could happen the rescue efforts and cause

further damage. japanese safety officials have also begun an investigation into the course of a tuesday's collision between 2 plants at the top. 2 effort, a passenger plane carrying the 400 people struck a smaller co scott plane. you're in an emergency landing. the inquiry will be assisted by a vision investigate just from from swear, the christ abbas deadline that was made, and the u. k. where the planes rolls royce engines, women, the fact that the crew of the japan outlines, passenger plane safety of actuated everyone on board despite the aircraft being engulfed in flames. but only the pilot escaped alive from the coast gap claim. a dramatic scenes a take care is indeed accurate. this is the moment the passenger at cross best into flames of to colliding with the coast guard, playing on the runway for 379 passengers and crew. a boat. the lodge applied whether evacuated those in the smaller craft,

but unfortunately not so lucky. the coast guard flight was on its way to deliver release. so that was affected by the as quite the hit to the other side of the item on new year's day. japan's prime minister off at these words, for those who lost their lives equal to show green. all these people had carried out their jobs with a strong sense of duty and responsibility for the disaster stricken areas and victims. the joins is this is a very unfortunate incident, and i would like to offer my sincere condolences while expressing my respect and gratitude for their sense of duty control will see unless they shortage the shot by someone inside the passenger play as it filled up with smoke one passenger said he felt lucky to be alive. i can only say it was

a miracle. we could have guide if we'd evacuated any later. i want to know why this happened. also, i don't want to go on planes anymore. experts say it's amount to everyone on the line or managed to escape to safety. in any evacuation audio, you want all of the exits open. we want all of the sliced to deploying mobility. you want everyone to get down the slides rapidly. it's appears to me that tool was not used to move collection, so that's a, that's even more remarkable. at least 75 trucks were deployed to extinguish the blaze, which then the planned down to just its use, a large chain of events that led to the accident and not yet known japanese. also it to say an investigation is underway. we're trying to rush this war on you crying . now most go says at least one person has been killed and several others injured in ukrainian attacks on the russian city and region of belgrade. the strikes come

off to ukraine's president vowed russia would pay for its late dismissal attacks on ukrainian cities. those strikes hit the capital keys and the eastern city of crowd . he's killing at least 5 people and wounded nearly a 100. the aftermath of an attack on the southern me on ski district of keys rushing missiles caused extensive destruction to the neighborhood for hello. sure. so i'm not sure if you can afford it, but the store and left the residents struggling to come to terms with it from which our services observed. it was horrifying. there were bits of window frames and glass everywhere. people were crawling and crying partridge with you, it was still dark and we could see a fire burning somewhere outside with, nor show it to avoid this level of wood. so there's a put a lot. i'm very scared and shocks for you and you because i never thought this

would happen to us. i have always been an optimist. and i can't find my cat either . so sorry. via crazy and capital was the target of several russian strikes, which mostly hit civilian areas dresser also targeted the country, 2nd largest city car caves, injuring dozens, and turning parts of residential neighborhoods into small during craters. ukraine's president, for that to me, is a landscape, condemn the attacks, the accredited western air defense systems for intercepting and destroying the vast majority of russian missiles. so that there were more strikes by the inhuman russians with almost $100.00 rockets of various types. at least 70 rockets were shot down. almost 60 of them shot down in the key barrier. there were severe

bindings and hockey landscapes under mounting pressure to shore up military and financial support from western allies to help ukraine continue to defend itself against the russian invasion. and that's it from me on the new steve. so now i have an update for you at the top of the hour. don't go way the ibex are documentary, and of course there's always a website with more use, dw, don't call god offers the vacation as an applicant, do they have good was i, when i told me that they don't have violence, do this, and we go sailing. tulsa tissue today because when they go to that video mill, people are stuck with car bama tenants so not because the
