not 2 countries attacking each other. so why this apparent military tit for tat? and why is pakistan recalled? it's in basket from a rod. why has his mamma button suspended all high level visits from tehran? tonight, a region of the world that has long been a powder keg. is this a new spark? i broke off in berlin. this is the day i the morning pockets on and it took a series of tiny, coordinated and specifically targeted precision with a 2 strikes against tetter, his tale high dogs and his donald for those just on probing of your dog. so these are products including stuckey stand in iraq and iran. you have also with this type of lising ethics on the region. our region does not need to more problems and conflicts just shows just how dangerous the situation is in the wider middle east.

also it coming out to the far right and you have the political party is now germany's 2nd most popular party that is just one of the reasons thousands of people are protesting the rise of the far right. and i think it is the duty of all of us to be hit today against the if the against hatred and rabble rousing hits the most of us. we know that the f d is already quite popular nationwide in germany. and it's important to stand up against fascism against anti democratic ideas against nazi ideas or reviewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with iran in pakistan, and they're tit for tat air strikes against each other. on thursday, pakistan launched a series of attacks by air aimed at what it says are militant hideout inside the ron. the strides were also in retaliation for a rainy and attacks just

a day earlier on what t ron claims is a terrorist group hide out inside pakistan. the official targets of both attacks or military or terrorist groups. but that is only part of the story here. pakistan has called it's in bassett or into ron home. a former pakistani foreign minister said to that pakistan had the choice, but to answer it runs a show of force with a show, a force of its own villagers assessing the damage. this footage appears to show the aftermath of the pakistani strike on the runs border region. your ran in state media say at least 9 people were killed there on thursday. is lama, but has confirmed, carried out the attacks this morning focused on and it took a series of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision, military strikes against terrorist, how high adults and cis donald. but it was just on probing all feet on

a number of terrorist or killed during the intelligence space to oppression the strikes and the ran in border region offices done in baluchistan. our a response to a runs attacks inside pac is down earlier this week. take run, said he to separate his group, which threatens it, security. it takes a 1000 at spot, none of the nationals of the friendly and brotherly country of practice done what targeted by themselves and drones of a wrong. there is this group beat on the so called gish out arrow, which is an iranian terrorist group ticket and they have taken shelter in some provinces. but the inside pack is done as a manual. a tip i purchased on the exchange of strikes has sparked a diplomatic crisis. it's not my badge, we called it some fast. so there are 2 iran and stopped to use a rainy encounter. part from returning to pack is done by his down scared ticket

prime minister on the bar will how to car cut shorts. his visit to the world economic forum and davos is advanced on fold. regional powers have erst come from both sides, both humans, it off as a sort of our region does not need more problems and conflicts. we see that the war in garza unfortunately escalates regional tensions. we saw this tension reflected in living on yeah, syria, iraq, young and the persian gulf and of the red sea. in addition to all this, unfortunately, we have been closely following developments between packets done and iran over the last 2 days with consent approval. i get it submitted today, and it said that you all can, that's how it can be viewed as well. officials trade accusations protests or is have taken to the streets of islam about to denounce the strikes on pakistan's territory. they are saying attack can nuclear arm to pakistan would be dangerous for the whole world. what do the or strikes between pakistan and iran mean for the

region and for the rest of the world. the joining me now is getting steinberg from the german institute for international and security affairs. we've spoken numerous times about the geo politics of the greater middle east region. indeed, it was good to see you again, pakistan and the wrong. are these 2 countries that are headed for more or no, i don't think so. both sides have made clear that they don't see the attacks as a tax on the neighboring country, but rather as upsides on terrorists or by little cheese separatists in the, in the other, in the other country. so i don't think there is any danger for an escalation between these 2 countries. now, a former pakistani foreign minister told us earlier today that pakistan had few if any options other than to respond with force. do you agree to? yes, yes, i think so. i think you know,

the focused on the government and especially the army, was. busy surprised by this attack, it's insight. this is the wrong that attacking a nuclear on the may, but nobody could have suspected that this was about to about to happen. so in the, in the logic off the nation states in the world, i think it's, it's possible that such an iranian attack on park has tiny territory warranted parts of sony booted feet. yeah, you know, you bring up a very important point here. pakistan is a nuclear power. what does that tell us about a role and considering that iran was willing to provoke pakistan with a military strike? uh well, uh, i think uh that, that the wrong is like, so it has become extremely sense confident in recent weeks and months uh, its proxies uh, in the gaza strip and

a lot of homes in the garage in syria and uh, in yemen has now attacked uh, a wide range of different targets and also iran is partially responsible because it provides all these proxies which drones, with cruise misfire. so with this technician sites that has not been any really treatment response, and i think that's part of the reason why the wrong thing sent it. come get away with an attack, even on how to stop it. what do we know about these millers instead of running pakistan targeted with these air strikes? that way we no longer have uh quite a bit about the value to separatists in uh, in eastern he wrong. there has been a problem in the country for more than 20 years now, and they have the change of several tags and in recent months, especially on the revolutionary guards and other things. the main reason for what we see here does not have an awful lot to do with events in the middle east,

but more with domestic politics in the wrong e. ron, especially after the attacks in paramount, although they have been trained by hispanic state and not by but which is separate and just wanted to show it citizens all over the country that is willing and able to fight these jobs as groups on its file trip rom, is extremely worried about separatism, or cetera, just tendencies that have become a bit more obvious in the last year. not only a village style, but also in south west the wrong, where many arabs lived and beginning iranian, focused on. i think that's the deeper reason for, for the wrong at that time. okay. and you to steinberg with the german institute for international and security affairs. you know, as always, we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. or

the now to the us and the race to in the white house. republican, hopeful nikki haley is moving voters in new hampshire this week. and she seems to keep her bid for the republican presidential nomination on track. on monday, haley finished the 3rd behind florida. governor rhonda santas in the iowa caucus both finished far behind the runaway front runner, donald trump. well, the next contest, the new hampshire primary next tuesday. and the primary you've seen is maker break for haley who has tried to make the republican raise a choice of 2 between herself and donald trump. for the full show her with a double digit deficit behind the former us present. whoever wins the republican nomination will almost certainly face off against the income, but us president joe biden, at the age of $81.00. he's the oldest president and us history, and he'll have to convince voters of all ages that he has the stamina for another 4

years in office. so far younger voters remain rather unconvinced. well examined their role in this election in just a moment, but 1st here's biden's speaking earlier today in the state of north carolina. the folks on here today to talk about something that doesn't get enough attention. and that's the progress for make you to invest in america. all america, you know, there's a, there's a law written back in. the 3rd is that says, when the congress passes a bill that has money that to be spent to bill something in america, whether it's an aircraft carrier, or it's a highway or whatever happens to be that the president should use american workers and american products of a long as long as time democrats and republican presence didn't divide by very much . but i do is i want to make sure that we're making america bills in america with american products. and that's why we're created 14000000 new jobs.

we do buy beat donald trump. back in 2020 young voters played an important role. figures from the pew research center showed that 58 percent of the people born between 1996 in 2002 known as generation z or generations that they've only provide only 38 percent voting for trump. reason numbers from the institute of politics at harvard kennedy school of government show the young voters 10 more towards joe biden, this year. but for a variety of reasons, less than half of generations, the voters say that they are going to go to the polls at all. well bringing now lindsey williams draft in washington dc. she's the ceo of the forward party, which is a centralized political party currently working towards gaining elect total access in all 50 states. lindsey, it's good to have you with this. the primary season is under way at the moment. it's all about democrats and republicans, as you know,

are you feeling well more than a little left out? are hi, how are you bill to be here with you? um, i don't think i'm alone and feeling left out. i think that's why we're seeing those disenfranchised numbers amongst jan. z right now, they're not alone. you've got 46 percent of americans right now. so identifying as independence. folks are leaving the 2 legacy parties and drugs, and those numbers are even higher amongst jen z. and, you know, as, as you said i'm, i'm here launching a new political party in united states of america. i am. nothing is not an optimist . i, i have to be in this work, but if, if young motors in america feel that their vote doesn't count. sadly, it is because the reality of our system isn't it doesn't, even in states we're independence, can vote in our primary. you've got gerrymandering. that's i'm sure that the over whelming majority of elections are decided well before the general. so have more

than half of the population. united states doesn't really have a say and who represents them? yeah, i mean, i would definitely go on record saying you're probably one of the most overworked and under appreciated. um, people in the united states right now. um so, you know, here's to you for trying to put a, another party on the ballot. but let's talk about where we are right now. at the end of this primary season, we're going to end up probably with the general election pending to man who were both around 80 years of age against each other. that is, that the reason jen z voters say they will not be flocking to the poles this year. i think that right now when we're talking about the november and the presidential election, we're talking about one day and we're talking about 2 white men who are not they, they do not feel relevant to young people across the country. what we're not talking about is the 520000 seats for elected office that are all across the country where individuals are representing folks in their own community and, and,

and really working on issues that impact americans lives on a daily basis. just last week it was really exciting. we are seeing the 1st ever all women city council sworn in in saint paul, minnesota. and they are broadly representative of, of communities of color. these are the sorts of stories that i think give us hope as americans and what i hope will drive people to the polls. not just in november, but during their primaries to we've got super tuesday coming up on march 5th. we've got huge, hugely important states like north carolina on march 5th, you've got pennsylvania on april 23rd and your folks that are representing people in their, in their own communities on this, on those primary balance. and i hope folks will come out and support them. let me ask you those. who do you think jen z is concerned so much that these are 2 white men or more concerned with the fact that these are to people who can easily be gypsies. grandfathers are great. grandfathers isn't an age here. that is really the

issue for young voters and i think it's relevancy. i think you could see someone who was of an older generation who is relevant to the issues that are impacting americans in their own back yards. who are solutions oriented or committed to getting things done? i think that generationally, an older candidate could still resonate with the younger vote, or the problem is, is the rhetoric and the political dog whistles that the 2 parties continue to a spouse are not resonating with a generation who's, who's looking for hope and change maybe to if we look beyond the age issue with younger voters, maybe a bigger question is, here's how do you get moderate americans motivated over politics and me. how did you get them to shift away from this, this in a polarizing for formative politics that has become such a hallmark of the more extremely public and we in recent years mean how do you do that? yeah, i think again it goes back to our communities,

it goes back to running people in folks back yard where you're able to address the things that really matter to american voters, jobs, education, health care, costs of living, affordable housing. these are all things right now, but at the top of the ticket, americans aren't seeing candidates taking these issues. seriously. they're not seeing what's resident in their own communities. and the more were able to see fantastic candidates who are running for city council may or state legislature or who are addressing these real issues and taking them on in ways that are innovative . i do think you're going to see excitement. i do think you're going to have an independent minded voters, turn out to support those candidates and turn out is important. we want folks to turn out. we want folks to vote. but obviously, as you've said, the top of the ticket is not going to motivate you. if you've got all of these, you know, great you, you've got all of these qualified, motivated local politicians across the united states. if that's the case, then why in a country of 300000000 people,

do we not have anything new to choose from when it comes to the, the president? would you say here that the biggest threat to american democracy as we know it right now, is maybe not donald trump or, or to bite or their age, but maybe the actual political party apparatus that we half as a 100 percent, a grade the 520000 seats that i reference actually that's not representative of candidates. it's actually it's the seats themselves. and of those 520000 positions of elected office, 70 percent of them go uncontested. which means you have people who are sitting in in positions of elected office, who again don't represent the interest of the people. and in large part because you have one party control in those communities. so no one even thinks that there's an opportunity to go and compete. there's a lack of competition up and down the ballot, and that is by design that is by design of a 2 party system. they have done an excellent job, kind of pulling up the ladder behind them once they get into positions of power,

whether it's close party primary primaries, you know, jerry mander districts. these are all things that have been designed by the 2 party system to lock out competition. and none of this is and dated in the constitution. we, as americans have a great tradition of innovation and the ability to change these things. it's a matter of folks showing up and getting engaged in their own communities and, and we can, we can, we can really see that change that everybody's looking for. but you've, you've had a big job ahead of you and if they're pulling the letters up behind them, i'm sure that you were going to find a way to put a new letter up to bring a 3rd party and lindsey williams draft to see the forward party and we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thanks for having me. here in germany's housings, have it turned out for a 4th night to protest against the far right alternative for germany. political party demonstrations were triggered by a news report of a secret meeting in which party members, as well as others, discussed what's being called

a master plan to be important. millions of foreigners, as well as the 2nd generation germans who have failed to assimilate into german society. if the party has growing popularity, it is now number 2 in the national polls. berlin hates the f d. that was the chance those thousands meet their voices haired under the lights of the city hall. the latest show of force against the rise of the far right in germany. we hit today because there's a shift to a, the, to a more i, we approach and politics in germany and that's a horrifying goal. i think it is the duty of all of us to be hit today against the if the against hatred and rabble rousing hits the most of us. we know that the f d is already quite popular nationwide in germany, and it's important to stand up against fascism against anti democratic ideas,

against nazi ideas or protests to rep to dr. richard madge. the alternative for jam, many members, a neo nazis met to discuss plans to deport millions of people with migration routes, including german citizens, of the sd have distance themselves from a so called re migration plan. one and for germans has a migration background and bell. and the story has brought to mind the doctor's chapter in german history. when not sees deported and murdered millions of people. it's not right to do it. it's not right for the nation. yes, it reads because associated with me it sucks me that people have not learned from history miss clear. and how this works is they me cuz that's why do we migration is the worst you can hear, especially in a country that one's slipped through that history. i mazda gives us the beauty girl

. we got to explain to people who were born here with the migration background should also leave 0. but i had to hard to go to bed because you see gemini, o, belinda is your home and it's all very difficult. i don't easily let racism get to me like that, but it did. it didn't make me aggressive. do you think? what so this crap again. so most the focus no times to the parties position and the german parliament where the debates is whether they should be fund entirely a new, clear option for us with legal hurdles. and that may only help, rather than hinder the far right. what do you use political correspondence? i mean, youngest following this force, i asked him why the, the party is so successful and that's despite the resistance we've seen on the streets what. but of course, there are many different reasons why people might be drawn to a policy like deal tentative for germany as the one key thing certainly is the

issue of migration. that's the issue that they've put to the center of many of the campaigns. and they've got this a tough line that you, you heard about in the piece there. and that's something that's a clearly is, is wondering a lot of people who a lot of people interested them, focused on them. but it's not the only thing. there's a lot of uncertainty and disgruntlement in the population at large, for instance, with environmental legislation. and just generally they realize in the cost of living. and so, and so you've got a lot of people looking at the current government a 3 way coalition on the life shelves and feeling that you know, those main stream parties don't have the answers to the questions that to concern people. that's why they're looking to at one tony seems, in this case, the a f d mm. yeah, the of the is apparently an alternative and yet we're seeing calls to band the party. why did people want to see this party being?

well a lot of people are very alarmed. they say that this policy is hostile to democracy and that it is essentially a sort of the fascist front organization. and indeed parts of the a, if the have been declared a threat to democracy by intelligent services in various places around the country . so there's a lot of concern. i think that that concern has been wrapped up in recent days by these reports of a meeting with the different for right groups. that sort of coming together in a network including a f d representatives and talking about this a circle plan for re migration deporting people that essentially at these far right, members don't want to see living in gym and a well, it's got a lot of people. why, but this isn't just about street protests at their full so being debates here at

the gym and paul a meant to for instance, today we saw a debate on the far right and what to do about it. let's listen to some of the voices from that debate. today. we've been kind white your a wolf in sheep's clothing place argue, but i'll say this, you'll facade is beginning to correct. these are the true phase of the f. d is coming out of old to see, and we'll make it clear what kind of ideology they office you a bit. i'll be by now the bar inclined to to put people who watch them and citizens is clear and obvious to everyone in class options. this, please. no democrats can remain silent about this time demo, cost me a slide. my new dining room town is duty and is that the war in syria is over. so 600000 syrians have to go back. even denmark ruled by central democrats is sending syrians home. this is the re migration we're calling for. with this, we like ration is done against the law and the constitution. it is the

implementation of the law and the constitution. we have to defend as a rule of law and you are its opponents, the video game. so you, you hear the, the, a, f, d a defending themselves and even taking ownership of that to re migration of the policies say that they're trying to bypass democracy. whereas they say they're speaking of for what only people care about. that certainly the mainstream parties are worried, so i'm just always thank of the day continues online. we'll see you next time everybody, the,

to the points. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspective the american and british forces got it out in human, in response to the who the attacks on commotion, ships entered, etc. on to the point we are discussing, the attack on global trait is the middle east conflict escalated to the point the next on d w. answer the conflicts with sim sebastian, the israel. how much more moved briefly to an open courtroom with the hey,

how the city is welcome to move, including my guess we're stuff about booty and the westbank who has the power, city and national initiative, we've never been in such a difficult situation. so how will the war ends and can garza ever be rebuilt? conflict in 60 minutes on dw, the is the right. how that you out to the high lot every week. not them up. sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. or bring an environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world

and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for the, the whole of these uh, attack and culture ships. and that i've seen this case in retaliation before the war. and guys who are the, who needs an um toilet to go and religious rebel group from yemen, backed by 8 on for you, or somebody ok have for these attacks, the direct trip to international call most and many times security they have responded by jointly cutting out strikes on who the targets in him and germany and other europe emissions are also constituting naval emissions. but this be the pre goes to the next regional the conflict, especially with key players like to get on an sell day at a be a involved in this conflict bandbox and.
