the rescue is well supported by his right. he rides on the southern gauze and city of rafa, which killed dozens of palestinians. obvious as israel surpassed essentially waves into a rafter, which is packed with palestinians who debate is writing instructions to flee the fighting elsewhere. afraid 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 commend. carried out a hosted rescue mission. the inside rough button in gaza. fernando mar month and luis hard are now. you need real. but i must say that the job is not done is just another step towards briggs for the officer and take home. so

we are very concerned about the situation and 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 permanent sustainable season. also on the day at taylor swift housing, yet back to joe biden, for the president city is also on the day a taylor swift housing. yet back to joe biden, for the president said he actually did in 2020. but republicans are worried that that is a whole constituency. she could swing against donald trump. well, 1st i'd say is a parents of 22 year old twin girls and my, my daughters and all of our family are swift. 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 after being freed an overnight to ride in gaza. israel says they were rescued in a special ministry operation in the southern city of rafa. the 2 men were kidnapped during the october 7, 10 attacks on israel by a mass which is regarded as a tetra organization by multiple countries that were flown by how they come to to a hospital near tennessee for medical checks. the united with the families. louise hall and fernando see more mom on will rescued by israel's military and security forces during overnight raids and rafa off to a $128.00 days held captive by hamas and gaza. they are currently receiving treatment in a hospital where they're both said to be in a stable condition. for the families, the sense of relief is mixed with concerns. the hostage is still being held in gaza . kelly, for us, is a family. there are safe to nights,

but i must say that the job is not done. we are happy to day, but it's not the way we did it when it just another step was to bring gig or the 134 hostages back home. and it doesn't matter if it's babies, women, men, and there are people, everybody must come back as soon as possible is really strikes, devastated punts of rust the night. for flattening buildings. and destroying a mosque. dozens 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 as she was awake.

suddenly all the walls of 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 now the areas and the city was designated a safe so in to civilians by the x ray. the army recent is rarely strikes and rough . uh, have eliminated any sense of security for palestinians. the a full month's inter israel's war on how most prime minister benjamin netanyahu is struggling with thinking popularity. it applies to crush from us off to the october 7th attack. and while most is riley's favor, continuing the war and increasing number attaching to the straits, calling for political change. corresponding to tonya 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. 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 got something. 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 criticized prime minister benjamin netanyahu blaming him for security failures, links with the october 7th tierra attacks. 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 and on israel's news. and buddha, 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 see together, to decide 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 murdered 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 one year 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. but not this. it's very, very important for the future. for what i can tell him i chose but these voices seem unlikely to swain this and yahoo, who insist he's on the way to what he calls total victory in gaza. let's pick up some of those points with that deco in addition to joins as not from kind of a if his grandmother younger had was taken hostage by her mouse on october 7th. she was like released, she was released later that month, but she has a grandfather odette remains in harm us captivity. welcome to the w. i'm can we start with your lights with your reaction to these latest news at these, right?

the ministry 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 to 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 is over there. so right and your grandfather's amongst the hostages still being held. i understand. i'm once you have you heard including my grandfather. yeah. what have you heard from laura box? him since he was taking the only thing we know about him that he did survive the segments of october and he being held in the room in god's i'm, we're not really sure exactly where, but he northwell, it'll add, the less news we got about team is around almost 4 months back and yeah, this is nothing ideal condition rise. okay,

now what we were just looking at some of those of those protests in israel. um we have mr. nelson young, who's saying that the operation to free the hostages shows that it is right to keep up military pressure. the hostages, who were released uh 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 what, this is an argument and this is nothing but argument. the less deal that they've been uh, that have done. and they'd be released to almost the one we relate to $110.00 people. the 100, those to just been then released by the the still the army for us to really help that because come us and they 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 that. but in the bottom line, india in the, in the army force might even kill those costs or get any deed happened. some of the, some of the videos that everything that i taught the authors that'd been died in there was died because of ease ready bombing bombs right next to a place over there and come, and guy and well cared. so he shot the guy because he thought this might be a rescue and he shot that hoffman being there. and you know, we see this all right. the fact that both of these and the army on so so was missed and that's on the, on who rides 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 then you always or where to. and i want to believe that everyone wants to do everything to release our beloved, think one batch and do one 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 sharing your thoughts with us deco electronics and telling me thank you very much. the nato has begun as big as your pay and ministry exercises for decades, where even more than 3 months of nevo, an ground with emphasis, operation steadfast, defend it will take place across much of the continent with 90000 personnel. from

all $31.00, nato member countries plus succession kinds of sweden, the alliances, logical operation on the continent. since the cold war is designed to test the readiness of its eastern border. is it located how, what's in store and how russia is reacting to nato show false? claims. warships starts. 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 could move from north america to europe, and activate defenses there against a near peer and nato has $31.00 members participating, plus sweden, which is in talks to join the alliance. more than 90000 soldiers, sailors and air personnel will take part in 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 may know says that's due to changing realities on the ground in europe. especially following russia's invasion of u frame 22 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 era when we will make the focused on, i'm overseas operations. so i think what you'll see at this here in 2024 is the needles that new normal does not please russia, which these nato as a hostile alliance. as mentioned, i was putting in my head rustic considers major nato exercises as

a threat to its security. in our understanding fee 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. i smoke 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 i. let's start. first 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 flank of your life. but also to demonstrate to rush out there just came off the point in time, as of course is now not quite the scale of some of the core exercises before the return of forces to journey to western. and then the 1980s headed off was all resolved and troops from all of them are coming to west germany. and now we're looking at roughly 90000 tricks, moving from the west to your and within your office on 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 more wide eyes and to demonstrate that you weren't able to do so effectively in a timely fashion made to us doing this for the 1st time since 2021. since i shut off the whole state of the nation, all eyes are all major civilities to reinforce those laws, lower wise as

a regular 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? you guys are certainly very nervous about. donald trump's needs to more it's almost encouraging adversaries such as russia to attack the quinn allies, as i said, don't pay up. and donald trump works. this is something that the alliance is not good around is it's, it's sort of guarantee it's context of defense and security. and there's a common commitment towards defense spending be seen as soon as 2014, when russia supposed to be the don lawson, maddox crime. yeah. major defense spending is going up. now roughly 2 thirds of

allies in europe and north america are at the 2 percent mark. but that certainly means that your opinions and thoughts of whether it's daunting from rich sense of the white. how i need to do more to strengthen the you're keeping up with an angel . 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 touchy and hungry also as throwing various bits of uncertainty into the works. um, how do you anticipate the, let's say the next 5 years for the 97 lines? i think you're being made to advise, to share an interest in maintaining the most positive, the lions, if the united states on the 2nd term part of the does, he decides to fall a withdrawal now is the heart of to us a strong congress, the west side of the pieces you put out a, an effort to require service local,

any such withdrawal, but he's not undermining my trunk latch suite. for example, off the political support by the west to watch, the alliance can, can undermine the credibility of us security guarantees. and therefore, the unity alternate to an, as an, an i s. europeans look at this and ask themselves what they can do. i think not just on the table already in terms of nato defense capability plan, nato. and i know very clearly what kind of capability so united states is contributing to the lines and what kinds of capabilities, what be lacking, and therefore your page will have to wait to the table. thanks for joining us. and we'll go through that. so rough i've lost from the european council on foreign relations of the kansas city, chase one, the super bowl on sunday night, a, with a 2522 picture of the san francisco 49 is in las vegas in supposing times at mazda

and that defense of the super bowl title, the chief fun taylor swift was as much headlined as the school she was at the match to see her boyfriend, a chief supply of travis kelsey, a simple. i'd been the subject of a bizarre cuz literacy theory, with support is a full the president donald trump consent to taylor swift might endorse present joe, by him. or in fact, mr. trump one so far as to posted message on his truth social network in which he claim taylor swift owed a wealth to legislation that he passed went on to say that he would be disloyal. if uh, to endorse mister bible, i should be back in 2020 though she hasn't this year so far. let's look at this with brandon, larry on know who's 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 of here. simply put a ton taylor swift up. what is your 32 year old pop saw country country move a demographic to um, to lose all game. 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 votes again. and that's the real concern because he may have lost a significant number of youth voters over the cause of 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, that talks about the politics of about voting? oh, sure. and you know, instagram published in 2023. it's 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. but the other thing is donations donations. what's in there for the wake up when she announced her endorsement, and that's likely to happen again. and it's not really clear that she'll have am tackling national election, but can, she can certainly have an impact on local elections if she start to endorse 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 conservative outlets like say, fox news plane, but she's a bite and show who are they hoping to influence to do what

i think they're hoping to influence anywhere in watching to not blindly follow along with temper slips. i think that survey fear is that uh these women will blindly follow pillars lift is not fox news. and, and that is the 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 vote for republicans. 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 board. so taylor swift is by a distraction or maybe an app car, of the greatest republican fears that they have right now. and it certainly seems to be getting home right now. right. i've heard demographic is, is, is, is women under a certain age who ave? oh, 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 have a significant hold on people and we'll see what happens during the election. but i think that she will play a pool sound role and be kind of simple 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. ok, so why don't besides us live? is this a purely swift the only fucking coin that right. it's julie swift in phenomena and all of that other celebrities who core door indeed have influence focusing pounds. oh sure. it's happened 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 the discourse. so lady got to do a leave of his british. there is no one really representing the motto code for right now, besides savings, but, and that's something that's unique that she's bring. uh, as i mentioned though, there are korean acts. there are other acts throughout the globe that brings 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 battles sometimes. oh, so here we go. that's old not next week. taylor swift of brandon, nevada on there would. satan hold you to say thank you so much for joining us. i think i'm not as it was the day more this time tomorrow or on the d. w dot com have a good day the,

they're expecting me to sign the mail the way that it turned out to be different from one based on how come up i just falsely assumed that love was the so important, people should keep their feelings under control. love what kids once and what the parents wish for them to stay, norman, we've done everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing works best as i was asked of them

next on d w the last of the hind quarters and the capture mountains, they carry up to 100 kias to the mountain tops. despite the wind weather in danger, the strongest delivery service in europe. the vacuum shot past 1060 minutes on d w. the this is star suits, started to understand fully and watching the 2013, the still active pro democracy drug test in ukraine. 2022

on the invaded the country release of the response to you guys to see if the freedom to west has recognized the danger all the signs. but that we really understand this are easily file. uh, we will lose our concepts, euro my done dots, february 17th on t w, the . the products. my dad expected me to marry someone and live happily ever after i lived there was i wanted to get married because i was hoping to find love security. a spring in my step, enjoy and life. they

were expecting me to find a male partner. he went but it turned out.
