the, the, this is the w news live from berlin. the us and the u. k. launched a 2nd night of retaliatory attacks against a ronnie of linked militias, washington and london say that they had fights belonging to the rebels in government. it follows us air strikes and iraq and syria also coming up as fighting continues and gaza. last consider is a truce, offer made by israel as international mediators to bring a halt to nearly 4 months of fighting. and the wives of russian soldiers appealed for their husbands to be brought home from ukraine,

police to obtain dozens of reporters at the n t mobilization protest outside of the kremlin in moscow. the . i'm sarah kelly, welcome to the program. the united states and britain have launched a series of air strikes on the who, the militia and government washington in london put out a joint statement saying that they hit dozens of targets, which included underground weapons, the post missile systems and launchers and radars. strike is part of the us military's effort to deter the who sees from further disrupting global shipping lanes in the red sea. and the strikes are part of a series of us let attacks targeting the who the rebels in government, but so far they have failed to deter the ronnie and back to militia. i asked them

of the least analyst and military expert roger shanahan. if the strikes are meeting the rain, such as certainly our spies, there's 2 aspects to this day is a deterrence effect. and deterrence effects don't necessarily happen instantaneously. you've got to look at it from a long term campaign perspective. and the other issue is degrading the capability, so we say the kind of targets that they're attacking at not already the massage themselves through the side of the launch is which there are a finite number, right? does that contribute to the effectiveness of these weapons? and also a logistics support elements. while these are still able to launch the weapons, they haven't been particularly effective. and for some of those elements of those weapon system says the final number so that they integrated it follows. meantime, us air strikes on friday that hit targets in

a rock in syria. these were the us response to a drone attack. the killed 3 us troops in jordan. don't know all of the strikes. they had hacked the killed 3 us troops in jordan. don't know all of the strikes they have been targeting or run back to groups or around interest. how much control does around actually have over these groups as well as this is by $64000.00 question. i think that some people like to portray around as a compromise to where they pull the stream is a certain action happens at the other end. i think that's yeah, that's not correct. certainly ron might use a general guidance to some of these groups. some of the groups that have a much close relationship then with others, that i logistically, financially support them and provide training to them. so certainly they of writing

with a broad imprimatur override in some instances that carrying out direct attacks based on a rainy direction. but it's very difficult to determine exactly what is happening in any one point in time. so i particular group, so it's a very, very gray area. so then take us inside the calculus because we've heard around the say that the us has made a strategic mistake. that will the stabilize the region. do we know how they might respond? we tell you better writing and response? yes. as well, i think as a relatively accepted rules of the game which unwritten and so long as responses from us, for instance, time an impact on writing. so run carry through a time a tech are writing and targets. it's really considered that the writing support groups that are outside of around prop up attack united kind of targets

doesn't have a precipitous effect on writing responses. so it's a very fine line to washington to, to walk along that i have to be sane to take military action against pro running groups, but without attracting a significant or direct response from around itself. and i think that doing that at the moment, but there's always a difficulty with this kind of policy approach. roger shanahan, middle east analyst and military expert in sydney. thank you so much. my pleasure. let's say in the middle east as fighting goes on in gaza. so to do efforts to health in nearly 4 months or a mouse now says it is real and international mediators have made it a tentative truce office offer the militant group, considered a terrorist organization by most western states says it's still reviewing the

details. meanwhile, fears are growing that is rarely troops could push further into garza's, southern most town, rasa were roughly half of thousands population have taken refuge from drugs of 10, crammed together in rough or part against with egypt. this is probably the safest place for people to southern most garza to escape the fighting and bombing elsewhere. it's estimated this half of the population of gaza is now in the area. but these ran the army still attacking targets in the city. charles was how much strong health services, se 14 people were killed, and one attack in rough uh, on such as a willingness of hello. the chelsea for retail homes go to the zones considered safe. but at the end, whatever people go, they get moment why to listen to you is just revenge. they just want to bring

destruction to people. that's all shifting to the amount of. and you can see this huge destruction in this area. and again, these shows as right and what was the cause of all the neighboring houses were affected by the demand due to that that might be. meanwhile, international attempts to negotiate to cease fire between hum us and israel continue. i'm also concerned that it has received a proposal from israel, the us egypt, and cut off. it said it needed more time for decision cleaning. but there's no team yet. and it's rarely defense minister you off color on says, is john forces with also even surely advanced into rough uh something. israel's allies have strongly warned against german 4 in minnesota. and the not the book said a military operation against offer would not be justifiable. oh, husband boucher is a journalist who is based in gaza until november when he managed to evacuate with

his family. i asked him to tell us more about reports that these really army plans to expand. it's offensive to rafa close to the egyptian border. this is still not search and there are a lot of statements coming from different sides. main leads were 81 and the egypt sion aside, which is a very live in to some statements, particularly came from these weighted defense minister who said that they would advance in but a few and play according to the reports and, and then from different sources. they gibbons are not happy with that. there are some reports that they would replace this plan and replace this plan with the. with more enforcement around it before the egypt would build an underground pool along the border between egypt and garza. and other things, the, the, the, there was a report that taking them the way last egypt really quote it,

relocate to the crossings between garza and egypt, to a place near a care and shut them meantime has and israel and mos are still negotiating a possible cease fire and the release of is really hostages. what more do we know at this point about the status of those talks? it's a 3 ports, nothing of visual coming, but i'm not saying that they are reviewing, reviewing the proposal that, that submitted to them through categories. any gibson's that there are 2 different levels of, of discussion. one is the into and i'm us, the, they have different bodies. they are discussing it within the bodies of, of, of the movement and another, another level is discussing it with other factions, particularly is limited. you had and other like vs b or d, f o b. they went to as, according to the statements from how much i'll feel as they went to a show,
