the, the, this is the w news live from berlin, the u. s. and the u. k. launches 2nd night of retaliatory attacks against a ronnie of link to alicia washington and london say that they hit sites belonging to the rebels and gammon. it follows us air strikes and, or rock and syria. also coming up as fighting continues in gaza must consider as a truce, offer made by israel and international mediators to bring a halt to nearly 4 months of fighting. plus a summer heat wave drive deadly wildfire in t lake. at least 46 people are dead, and more than 1100 homes destroyed as authorities lead with residents to evacuate

the sarah kelly. welcome to the program. the united states and britain have launched as sarah kelly walked into the program, the united states and britain have launched a series of air strikes on the who seemed militia in yemen. washington in london put out a joint statement saying that they hit dozens of targets, which included underground weapons, depos, missile systems and launchers and radar. the strike is part of the us military's effort to deterred the fees 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 yemen. so far they have failed to deter the iranian back to melissa, i asked, middle east analyst and military expert roger shanahan. if the strikes are meeting

the rain, such as certainly as far as there is 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 type ability . so we say the kind of targets that they are attacking at not already the massage themselves, but all sides. the launch is which they're a finite number, right? as that contribute to the effectiveness of these weapons. and also other logistic support elements. while these are still able to launch the weapons that haven't been particularly effective, and for some of those elements of those weapon systems, there's the final number. so they as a 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 have been targeting or run back to groups or around interest. how much control does iran actually have over these groups? as well as this is by $64000.00 question. i think 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 it. 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 caring at direct attacks based

on the running direction by you. it's very difficult to determine exactly what is happening in any one point in time for a 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 i was at a relatively accepted rules of the game which i unwritten and so long as responses from us for instance, dine impact on writing. so renteria toyota attack or writing and targets. it's really consider that the writing support groups that are outside of around prop uh, attack united kind of targets doesn't have a precipitous effect on writing a responses. so it's

a very fine line to washington to, to walk along that i have to be seen to type mostly 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. this and staying in the middle east as fighting goes on and gaza. so to do efforts to halt the nearly 4 month war. come off now says that is real and international mediators have made a tentative truth to offer. the militant group considered a terrorist organization by most western states, says it is still reviewing the details. meanwhile, fears are growing, that is rarely troops could push further into garza southern. most town rasa were
