of a science, but they really understand that so easily. a file we will lose our concepts, euro my done dots, february 17th on t. w is right. the special forces of rescue 2 hostages, captured by how master and your type a 7 terre attacks. the rescues were supported by his rating rides on the southern gauze and the city of rafa which killed dozens of palestinians offices israel for past, essentially lives into a rafa which is packed with palestinians who debate is writing instructions to flee the fighting elsewhere. the freight hostages of appeal for a deal to release the remaining hostages. the prime minister seems to me to pursue a ministry victory. i'm feel gail in belin and this is the day the

he's really commended. here without a hostage rescue mission. the, the inside rough button in government, reynando mar, month and luis hard are now in these room. but i must say that the job is not done just so now the staff was pretty good for the office in the home. so we are very concerned about the situation that we want israel to stop and think very seriously before it takes any further action. don't the funny thing now and turn that into a public sustainable season. also on the day, i tell you this way. it's hasn't yet back to joe biden, for the president said he actually did in 2020. but republicans are worried that there is a whole constituency. she could swing a games. donald trump, a. well, 1st i'd say is a parents of 22 year old twin girls and my my daughters and

all of our family are with these for going back to we met her, i think back in new orleans in 2009. and again, she's an extraordinary performer in taylor is obviously a dynamo, everything she touches welcome to the day. now 2 more hostages, a back in is right. and after being freed an overnight right in gaza, israel says they were rescued in a special ministry operation in the southern city of rafa. the 2 men were kidnapped at you in the october 7, 10 attacks on israel by a mass which is regarded as a tetra organization by multiple countries that were flown by helicopter to a hospital near tennessee for medical checks. the united with the families, louise hall, and fernando seem on mom on will rescued by israel's military and security forces during overnight raids and rafa of to $128.00 days held captive by hamas and gaza.

they are currently receiving treatment in a hospital where they are both said to be in a stable condition. for the families, the sense of relief is mixed with concerns. the hostages still being held in gaza. kelly for us, there's a family. there will save 2 nights, but i must say that the job is not done. we are happy today, but it's not always we, we did it when it just another step to was bring gigs or the other. how then it through default hostages back home. and it doesn't meant that it needs babies. women, men, answer people. everybody must come back as soon as possible. is rarely strikes, devastated punts of rust the night. the flattening buildings, the and

destroying a mosque. thousands of palestinians were killed. and many more taken to hospital with serious injuries we were at home when the air strikes were going on. i told my mother that i wanted to use the bathroom is she was awake. suddenly all the walls at the bathroom and all the water containers above it collapsed on me. most of the roughly 1400000 palestinians. currently in rough or fledge from other parts of garza. they were trying to escape the intense fighting and other areas, and the city was designated a safe, so the civilians by the as ray, the army recent is rarely strikes some rough or have eliminated any sense of security for palestinians. the a full month's inter israel is war on how most prime minister benjamin netanyahu is

struggling with sinking pump in our day he pledged to crush from us off to the october 7th attack. and while most is riley's favour, continuing the war and increasing number, taking to the straits, calling for political change, corresponding to tanya crime reports with each passing week protein a growing logic and loud and israel. people are demonstrating for a hostage deal and against the government. we are protesting because we feel this government needs to step down. we are advocating for a new election returning the mandate, so to speak, back to the people after what has gone on here over the past 4 months. i personally have 3 sons fighting and guys, and i think that they expect me and other people expect us to come forward and say that the entire political system should re be re shuffled. even during war

most is riley support, the war and gaza. but they want to change in political leadership. many criticize prime minister benjamin netanyahu blaming him for security failures, links with the october 7th tierra attacks. it's and you know, has always advocated that he is mr. security for his role and under his leadership over the past 15 years, almost straight is real, security has been impeded. it's been undermined in a very profound way. mazda in the face of 3 months as a reservist, fighting in java, end on israel's news, and buddha. and he says, it's time to heal, pre war, domestic political awareness. so he's part of a new cross policy movement. we want all the political parties now to speak together to the side to get there. when is the next election election going to be

because after the catastrophe of october 7th, you can just move on as if nothing happened. something dramatic happened. the world in which they were elected that has completely changed. it was matted on october 7th. the protest is here in jerusalem. want the government to prioritize the return of hostages still held in gaza. buy from us. and other militant group here is for bringing back the hostages for striking a deal because are people in israel that don't want to strike a deal? this is a problem. so this is, this is the price button, then we have to pay a price because we want to value life and not this. it's very, very important for the future. for what i can tell him i chose but these voices seem unlikely to sway nathan, yahoo! who insists he's on the way to what he calls total victory in gaza.

let's pick up some of those points to me that deco in addition so joins is not from kind of if his grandmother younger had was taken hostage by her mouse on october the 7th. she was like released, she was released later that month, but she is a grandfather odette remains in harm us captivity. welcome to d w. and can we start with your lights with your reaction to these latest news at these, right. the military has freed to hostages. well, this is really exciting thing. they tell you why, because today to family of basic movie 2 and one big family now got their beloved ones. next 2 of them back. so these 2 families right now can sleep at night and understanding that they're back at home with them. and this is the most amazing thing, and this is the perfect present for those family who being suffering so much. and

for me it's, it's very hard. and i tell you why, because we have evidence that shows that sometimes in the military reaction sometimes come increases, their reaction for their health is, is that still there being over to that still being hosted over there. so we freed 2 of them, and that's now it's making me more terrified about the other ones that lives. because how much is a really tricky organization, right? they don't really care about life. and they might say where they are, they're hoping to the where they're so right and your grandfather's amongst the hostages still being held. i understand i'm once you had you heard including my grandfather. yeah. what have you heard from laura box? him since he was taking the only thing we know about team that he did survive the 7th of october and he being held in the room and got them. and we're not really

sure exactly where. but he northwell it all. the less news we got about team is around almost 4 months back and yeah, this is a nothing ideal condition to rise. okay, now what we were just looking at some of those of those protests in israel. um we have mr. nelson young. have saying that the operation to free the hostages shows that it is right to keep up military pressure. the hostages, who were released today or last night say that a deal is needed to secure the release of all the remaining hostages. wherever you are not in the argument, i tell you i, this is an argument and this is not an argument. the left deal that they've been uh, that has done and they'd be released to almost the one we relate to

$110.00 people. the 100, the just been there released by the the still the army for us to really help that because come us made made have feel that they need and some rake to organize themselves for the next the step. and they understood that they have to go for it. so it has influence about the doctor in the bottom line. india and the in the army force might even kill those hostages. and it did happen some of the, some of the videos that everything that i taught the authors that being died in there was died because of, is there any bombing bombs right next to a place over there and come, and guy and well cared. so he shot the guy because he started the season, might be a rescue. and he shot that hoffman being there. and you know,

we see this all right, the 2nd most of these, my army on so so was missed and that's on the, on who writes to rejects at the how mass count of proposals for a deal last week. i think that the is really need to go for a deal as best as we can because the we don't really have time for the top is that they're still over there. and i think that i'm not aware for the all the information that then that then you always or where to. and i want to believe that everyone wants to do everything to release our building one. but and do want to tell that we have to go for hire the station we have to because if we want to go for hard decisions including accepting stuff that they come up demanding and we won't have any chance to get them back to life. so that's the thing. thank you so much for joining us. and now sharing your thoughts with us

that lived ships and telling me thank you very much. the nato has begun his biggest the autopay and ministry exercises for decades, where even more than 3 months of nevo, an ground minimizes operation. steadfast, defend, it will take place across much of the continent with 90000 personnel. from all $31.00, nato and member countries plus succession candidates waiving the alliance is logical operation on the continent since the cold war is designed to test the readiness of its eastern border. is it look at how, what's in store and how russia is reacting to nato show for us? flane's war ships, tanks, it's been 3 years since the last operation steadfast defender. this year's version is happening on a grand scale. meant to demonstrate how fast forces can move from north america to

europe, and activate defenses there against a near peer and nato has $31.00 members participating, plus sweden, which has and talks to join the alliance. more than 90000 soldiers, sailors and air personnel will take part and more than 50 naval vessels and 80 aircraft are involved, as well as more than 1000 combat vehicles. it's a significant step up from the last then fast defender exercises in 2021. those involved about 10 percent of the personnel taking part this time around nato says that's due to changing realities on the ground in europe. especially following russia's invasion of u frame in 2022. and the ongoing war there. the security situation in europe has, is dramatically changed over the last couple of years. we have to exercise at a larger scale and with more complexity, then we,

we used to doing in the air out when we will nicely focused on i'm overseas operations. so i think what you'll see in uh this year in 2024 is the needle. that new normal does not please russia, which sees nato as a hostile alliance. as mentioned, it was put in you might have rustic consider is major nato exercises as a threat to its security. in our understanding, the alliance was conceived, formed, configured, and managed by the united states as an instrument of confrontation control. beautiful, steadfast defender will shift from naval readiness and southern europe, the ground based exercises, and the alliance is northern and eastern flanks over the coming months. it's set to wrap up at the end of may look at what data hopes to achieve with these exercises and raphael law sees a policy followed i'd be your pain council on foreign relations is what focuses on

security and defense and the euro, atlantic area and ministry operations, welcome to dw, let's talk 1st of all with the purpose of these large scale maneuvers is based purely about operational effectiveness or is it also about a show of strength towards russia? most certainly is about goals exercising. nato's ability to reinforce eastern plank on the line to demonstrate to rush out that it is capable of deploying dot com is of course, has now not quite the scale of some of the core exercises before the return of the forces to journey to western union. the 1980s had off, most of the troops from all of them are coming to west germany. and now we're looking at roughly $90000.00 troops moving from the west to europe and within europe, from west east. and presumably, if it's, it's safe to assume that russia will be watching these exercises very, very carefully. i mean,

that's the whole point to some extent you want to demonstrate as an alliance, your ability to reinforce your mobile home wide eyes and to demonstrate that you weren't able to do so effectively in a timely fashion. made wrestling just for the 1st time since 2021. since i shut off the whole state of the nation, all eyes are on needles. ability to reinforce the most lower wise as a radio to gather the allies, the capabilities to be put to the table in such a reinforcement exercises as something that russian most certainly is looking at. meanwhile, we have of us presidential hopeful, donald trump, but bringing up the issue of nathan contributions again accusing some countries of not pay when he calls the fat share. what's the truth of his claims that you guys are certainly very nervous about. donald trump's needs to more of so almost encouraging adversaries such as russia to attack the quinn allies that i

said don't pay up. and donald trump's work, this is something that the alliance is not good around is it's, it's sort of guarantee it's connective defense and security. and there is a common commitment towards defense spending be seen as soon as 2014, when russia supposed to be done less than an ex crime. yeah, major fence spending is going up. now roughly 2 doors of allies in europe and north america are at the 2 percent mark. but that certainly we use that europeans, regardless of whether it's donald trump sense of the white, how i need to do more to strengthen the or keep it up within nato. right, let's, let's talk about that for, for a moment because that has been in the past talk of our european army with the prospect of a 2nd, trump presidency, and the likes of the turkey and hungry. also throwing various bits of uncertainty into the works. how do you anticipate the, let's say the next 5 years for the nice of alliance?

i think you're being made to analyze who shared interest in maintaining most positive the lions, if the united states on the 2nd term part of the does, he decides to follow a withdrawal to, to us a strong congress, the west side of the pieces you put out a, an effort to require a sentence local any such withdrawal, but he's not undermining by trunk latch sweets, for example, off the political support by the us to watch the lines undermine the credibility of us security guarantees. and therefore, the unity alternate on as an i s. europeans look at this and ask themselves what they can do. i think not this on the table already in terms of natural defense capability plan, nato. and i know very clearly what kind of capability. so united space is contributing to the lines and what kinds of capabilities won't be lacking, and therefore your kids will have to wait to the table. thanks for joining us to

talk us through. that's a rough, our loss from the european council on foreign relations. of the kansas city chiefs won the super bowl on sunday night, or with a 2522 picture of the san francisco 49. as in las vegas. and supposing times at mazda of defense of the super bowl title, the chief fun, taylor swift was as much headlined as the school. she was out the match to see her boyfriend, a chief supplier, a travis, kelsey, a simple. i'd been the subject of a bizarre because literacy theory with support is a for the president, donald trump consent to taylor swift might endorse present joe by him as well. the fact mr. trump won so far as to post a message on his tooth social network in which he claim taylor swift owed a wealth to legislation that he passed. and i wanted to say that he would be disloyal to endorse mister bible. i should be back in 2020 though she hasn't this

year, so far as the base with brandon larry on the who was a political scientist at seton hall university school of diplomacy. you joins us from new, couldn't new jersey in the united states. welcome to d w. i'm serious. unfortunately, yes, yes they are. the republican party is very scared. they basically lost the youth and the women voter right now in taylor square space of both of those demographics . so this comes out if you're simply put a ton taylor swift up. what does she? 32 year old pop saw country country move a demographic to um, to lose all games. so on a presidential tub, i don't think she can move a demographic. the key thing though is voter turnout and basically joe biden wins

if everyone who voted in 2020 bucks again. and that's the real concern because he may have lost a significant number of voters over the cause of the situation. and they might start to be swayed by things like your brain and other problems. but activating the women vote is a key priority of the democrats for the 2024 election. so is that any evidence that people are actually listening when taylor swift talks about politics? on about voting. oh, sure. and yeah, instagram published in 2023 is signed up $35000.00. that's doubled the number of 18 year olds that signed up in 2022. her engagement with her family. her engagement with the youth can really activate and bring in new voters. um, the other thing is donations donations. what's in there for the wake up when she announcer endorsement and that's likely to happen again. and it's not really clear that she'll have am tackling actual action, but can she can certainly have an impact on local elections if she start to indulge

local canada, especially in tennessee. okay, so she brings out the numbers she brings, and she brings in money, but she didn't. she doesn't necessarily change opinions. so when conserves about lights, likes a fox news plane, but she's a bite and show who evey hoping to influence to do what i think they're hoping to influence anywhere in watching to not blindly follow along with taylor slips. i think that survey fear is that uh these women will blindly follow pillars lifted, not fox news and, and that is a reality. and that's a realistic fear. that's something they really need to be concerned about. but their policies are really the main reason why things may change and why women will not be afraid, publicans. they don't like their republican abortion policies. they don't like a lot of written publicans that have been doing it, especially regarding the war. so um, taylor swift is but a distraction or maybe an app car of the greatest republican fears that they have

right now. and it certainly seems to be getting all right now. right. i've heard demographic is, is, is, is women under a certain age who ave. so that's kind of difficult to say because her demographic is women, but not overwhelmingly so tennis, less is the most popular person in america and possibly the most popular person around the globe right now with the ds in the military. so she has a significant hold on people and we'll see what happens during the election. but i think that she will play a poor found role. and the, the kind of symbol for a lot of people who are dissatisfied with the way the republican right has gone and actually send before and miss america on. this is not the type of christian she wants to be in. that's a very serious concern. okay, so why don't miss out us live? is this a purely swift, the fucking coin? that phrase is purely swift in phenomena and all of that other celebrities who core

door indeed have influenced focusing pounds. oh sure. it's happening in the past. you know, there used to be campaign song as written in the 1800s. you know, anyone from elvis presley to frank sinatra have certainly swayed elections in their own minnes school way. taylor swift is basically the only one in america who can do that right now. we don't seem to have much significant popstars in, in the discourse. so lady got to do a leave of these british, there is no one really representing the model code for right now besides civic slipped. and that's something that's unique that she's bring. uh, as i mentioned though, there are korean acts, there are other asked rapids blow that bring significant fandom activation. but this activation that taylor swift brings. it's remarkable and it's a force i would not mess with. but i think the republican party tends to choose the worst battle sometimes. so here we go. that's old not mess with taylor swift,

brandon velocity on it would. satan hold you to say thank you so much for joining us. space. i'm as it was the day more this time tomorrow or on the w dot com. i'm a good the

china using the food and agriculture organization to pursue its own interest. insiders are making serious accusations against the chinese director general. the claim that being support under developed countries is just the smoke screen to implement. it's a global ambitions. china power. in 15 minutes on the w, they're expecting me to sign the mails hartner. what is turned out to be different from one based on how come up i just falsely assume that love was the so important
