to protect the residential and the i feel gaol welcome to the program around supreme lee that has promised a harsh responds following to explosions in the countries south in which at least 95 people were killed. the blast happen near the grave of the top general cast them . so the money one is a gathered for a settlement, a mocking full years since his assassination by the united states. in a drone attack, the us has denied counting on this attack and says it has seen no evidence of his rightly involvement of the aftermath of a blast that shook the city of care. mont and ever on south for leasing, shrapnel and to the screaming crowd. local media captured the moment people started running as they heard the 1st explosion go off. another glass nearby

followed some minutes later, thousands were attending the ceremony honoring the prominent iranian general custom solely money killed in the us, drake, in 2020. the us says it has no role in this attack, and that is real, didn't either. it's too early, at least for us to be able to say what might have caused it. but i do want to address some of the irresponsible claims that i have seen circulate and say that number one, the united states was not involved in any way. and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous. and number 2, we have no reason to believe that israel was involved in its explosion. it's believed to be the deadliest attack in iran in over 40 years. there were reports of a stampede that injured several people. as the tried to run away, the un responded with calls for accountability. the secretary

general strongly comes via talk today on a memorial ceremony and carmen city and the stomach republic over on which reportedly killed more than 100 people, an injured many more. the secretary general costs for those responsible to be held accountable. 3 human to iran has labeled the explosions as a terrorist attack. while iran, supreme leader, i told the human a valid to retaliate, promising a harsh response. alex for time as an expert on the wrong at the middle east institute in washington, we asked him to speculate about who might have done this as well, to be honest, is too early to point the finger at any one group. what we have seen so far, uh, in terms of your raining announcements, we've had the re minister of interior making the claim to the us and israel were

involved, but they made this sort of almost generic. it's almost a knee jerk reaction that you often hear from senior leaders without providing the evidence. as i said, it's a political statement, not reflecting any kind of serious investigation. one thing i do note of is that i the palm in a to supreme leader in his statement, reacting to the bombings did not point the finger i the united states israel or anybody else for that matter. and i think that is probably a reflection of the fact that the ringing authorities right now, a do not know who's behind it and be they don't know what their next step ought to be. but these 2 bombings, city happened to the province of care mon, which is relatively in the south east of the country, not far from the range and border with pakistan and the province. a village of stock, which is next to care mon problems is a region known for militancy for organized crime. and at times even minutes and you

have is city add to redeem operative just 2 weeks ago or 11. your rainy the officers were killed by jo hodges group. so there are actually the entities inside of the runs borders that could have been behind it. but again, i want to go back to what i said. it's really early. iran has a long list of domestic opponents and external opponents. it could be domestic, it could be external, it can be a combination of both it. we have to wait and see how these photographers from the middle east institute in washington are the leader of the lab. and on based has belong militia, has promised retaliation over the killing of a how mass tough officially by routes on wednesday, as blog blames as well for the attack. although there has been no claimant responsibility. israel generally doesn't comment on strikes and other countries, but officials have previously said that they would target how much leaders, wherever the hell i'm asked, is classified as i tied a risk group by multiple countries. waiving the most flag,

protest is in ramallah voice. the supports in tango this evening and the occupied westbank was a certain town of cell, a ruling high ranking. some official was killed in a striking by roots on tuesday. well, natalie got into the cause is crazy. hysterical revenge. you know, need the preventative is israel field and that he and is experiencing a kind of defeat. oh no, i'm in the mail. it knows full well. yeah, there's no victory for it. yeah, no, they so 90 got mean and decided la salo, rory was deputy to have mazda is, lita is smell honey a and the groups tayley a's on we've has the law in lebanon since a raise assassination in the suburbs of bay root israel and has the law has continued to fire at each other across the border, an almost daily occurrence since israel's war we, tomas began. the lebanese political party and militant group is backed by

ron and considered a terrorist organization by the us, germany and some sunni arab countries. israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the strike on a route, but less than a securities also said it was caused by an israeli drawer and has blah has vowed to retaliate calling it a serious assault on living on is a factor while i get the enemy because of waging a wall and 11 and, and they then say, well, we will fight without restoring tool without leaves, without letting me eyes. then without restrictions. yes, right on my nose. what i mean of israel's main ally, the us who said it was nursing homes before the blasting beverage. washington is now urging restraint to tape the wall contained just want to before. we don't want to see it. why beyond israel and am awesome again, we're going to keep working with partners in the region to prevent that from that.

has the law has so far refrained from escalating beyond board of skirmishes with these ro. but these to attack in the hoss of lebanon has raised fees of an all out war. and these railey army says it's on high alert and ready for any scenario. let's pick the software that correspondents into some time, your crime, a welcome, tanya, israel and has by 11 and entering closer to a full scale war. while those sized is say, at least that they're prepared for any scenario, is really military on this year. believe that they don't want to go for full on or just yet, but of course this is speculation and anything can happen at this point. be part of the it's going to lead to hudson this relo a saying that the killing of the how much you just sort of

a duty should not go unpunished. he also said that in his speech they will fight is wrote, will extend the war uh to live in non re heard from the is rarely side of the chief of stuff hurts. yeah. libby was touring at the northern border yesterday . he was saying that the military's and the very high state of readiness, but he also stressed that the focus right now is uh on. uh, i'm us. so we've seen of course since october 7, uh many cross border texts. uh, the tensions has been rising constantly around the blue, the so called blue line between a israel and the southern part of liberty known as of this morning that has been air raid sirens in north and uh is well, but uh of of course the also understand that at the moment diplomatic efforts underway, the reports that uh the you, a special invoice was holstein who has been the go in between,

between live and on. and israel is expected to be in the region and trying again to mediate between the been known and israel. and we have israel decision this week to withdraw some of its troops from a gaza. does that mean it's 5 against how much has now shifted to targeting? how much that come on just outside the region? well i don't think it has completely shifted in that way of but is run has said since october 7th that they will go up to the most leadership wherever they are, including uh, in the countries or including of those at that abroad. of course the main focus is to find the how much lead to in gaza. you know, he has seen, well, what is read has said that they will read through some of the reserve is from a garza that has been fighting, no incumbent or other functions in the past 3 months. they will be going for,

for the tween that will be able to go home. they're also economic demand. domestic considerations going back into the workforce. there will be a bit of a shift. but again, uh uh for to be a hearing for military officials. the focus is on the fight in gaza on him us and this will continue for many months. but also of course uh we are hearing that the preparations uh at the northern border uh in full force. uh we should not forget that. uh uh, the northern border with limbo known that there are many, many, uh, is there any residents that has been evacuated from there, from their places, from uh, uh, locations in the northern border also for the last couple of months. and this is a situation that is not sustainable uh for, for is relatively long term. okay, thank you for that time you have time. yeah. crime in jerusalem. rushes

military begun this year by launching some of its most intense strikes on ukraine cities since its invasion, been gotten 82 years ago. ukraine's presence the fall of them is that that he says he's countries being hit by hundreds of miss files in recent days. rush effort spots accuses key of, of shifting the ball, the safety of battle going on with the killing at least $25.00 civilians. but despite the intensified hostilities, many observers believe the conflict is reached, stay all night. these are images from the telegram channel, a few cranes, 3rd, a salt brigade. they show a slow and brutal war between russia and ukraine, high and casualties, and slow and movement. but the, the front line and ukraine's east has hardly budged. some military analysts say the current style made his ultimately to russia's advantage. russian forces are dug in behind. a fortress of tank traps, mine fields, and other obstacles. the red on the map marks russian positions along the

front. satellite images indicate that russian troops are reinforcing these areas. more than $8000000.00 land mines are estimated to be buried there. the ukrainian army has not been able to find a way through, and they are dependent on supplies of western munitions. these have been slow and coming. ukrainian soldiers have to ration 100 fifties on crude aerial vehicles are limited. and if you see now that each side knows what the other is doing because of the use, especially of many of the strains that we have, what many have referred to as the future so called transpired in battlefield. that's is what happens on the battlefield. each site immediately has an idea of what's happening for ukraine to take the offensive. it will need more weapons from its western partners. otherwise, russia's numerical superiority has a good chance of simply waiting out the stalemate. i search upon with

thousands of rescue workers are continuing to search for survivors of the possible of quakes that struck on new year's day, hoping to find as many people as possible within the 3 day survival window that ends in a few hours. the visual death tells arisen to 78th and the fee is expected. heavy rains put him to the rescue. work ends of thousands of people in the area of chicago still without power or water. and here in germany after weeks of heavy right in many communities, struggling with the rising flood waters and bust river banks, the sides of low sacks and he's been hit holidays with more heavy rain full costs. of the coming days. dykes and protective barriers are being built to hold by the flood waters but sun back supplies of need even that reports have visited the city of old in the glare, residence of bracing for evacuation. here in all the other section. a,

a mobile dyke system. the, the red panels are put together to form barrels on the 2nd and then filled with water about salt on which gives the necessary stability this dominates. ultimately, it could mean immobile dyke. i'm up to 2 kilometers long. i kind of dark to go made of plastic panels intended to contain the large volume of water when it comes to the possibility of evacuations. locals, the main cautiously optimistic razzles the noun, so the to have cause this is a serious situation with the never the last with all the effort that's being made here over the past few days. we must not forget that these are preventative measures because this house is not protected against the attractive diag page, which could of course happen um, as lives in these ultimately the water level keeps on rising and rising. that is worrying. we can put a method for them. the aid workers a coordinated by the situation sent in alden book, emergency services,

account of the 3 of his wonder above the sea of folk. this is one of the most iconic paintings from the beginning of the 19th century. as its creator is generally considered the most important german artist of his generation. password david for a trace to build them to bundle the same as wonder above this, the of august on the present, especially now in the age of social media. and many people identify with this image . at a disrespect project is once again, some of a pop star disability, a shift the retrospective and homework which exhibits over 60 paintings looks at the relationship between man and nature. it also focuses on how the german painter inspires artists today, especially at the time of climate crisis. so to show that we have an equally large extensive exhibition that is about the contemporary reception of friedreich's. especially in the age of climate change,

where we see changes in the whole structure of nature when this comes not to the food because our views of nature have changed. in many of these newer works refer to specific words by 3 direct, but in order to define this new position of the world today, quite to and you know, i think katie bought these a know it was it sealants pushed them on thoughts. and caspar data treasury was born in 1774 in the northeast of germany on the baltic sea. his childhood was overshadowed by the early depths of his mother and 2 of his siblings. many years of his life were plagued by depression and poverty. his works reflect this isolation. many of his paintings focus on cold, dark winters and start landscapes. fritters was part of the 19 centuries romantic movement which occurred right after the enlightenment, a period of time characterized by logic, math, and science. the romantics were more interested in portraying the beauty and
