ground. and that the vehicle have clear at you and branding now and depend on the local news agency, cited a military source saying that it's and is really drawn that launched at the top on the u. n. a vehicle. of course the is way the army is denied and responsibility for the attack so far. as you will know, recent days i've seen an uptick in deadly exchanges. what are you hearing on the ground there from liberties people about where all of this might be head? it was for the 4th the 4th day uh, in the row this front is uh, really uh, picking detention is unprecedented at least since the beginning of the month of ramadan, when this fonts has been cooling down a relatively. but now again, it is looking on the edge of the blow off has blow. i've been fighting heavy rockets into you is really a territory and positions. and india ton is relevant at targeting and whitening

it's. it's targets inside the oven on reaching the because id and bottle book, which is relatively far from the noise and from its northern border. and this is a clear extension of the usual rules of engagement between both parties. now there is a growing fee and among the minis from a large cade war, most of people we talk to are very concerned about a war that the country is far from ready uh for on the financial, logistical and, and also the mental aspect of the country is going through the worst economic and financial crisis in lebanon, small done history, and barely functioning like they do. you and the government organizations is at barely able to support the citizens independent. and it's a dw, is a big, huge bureau chief. we'll have

a chapter in many thanks. i mean, while the united states is authorized, the multi $1000000000.00 weapons package for each real. according to several media reports, it comes as president joe biden publicly acknowledge the pain being felt by air of americans over the war and gaza. he's also face criticism by some in his own democratic party. the decision followers are visited by is really defense minister you of the allowed to washington early this week. the white house declined to comment on the weapons transfer suppressors. jord firestone is with the middle east institute in washington, d. c. and is a former us ambassador to get it. i asked him how badly he thinks israel needs these weapons. well, the, the issue of course is that some of the weapons that are included either munitions that are included in the package according to the pressure reports, are these 2000 pound bombs that the, that the,

as rarely. so i've been using in their guys a campaign that allegedly, or the source of some of the mass casualty events that we've seen over the course of the past several months. and so israel is, are currently using that. uh and there are a lot of people who are unhappy about about to use and will be unhappy that the administration is sending more. well, if this is confirmed, this weapons package comes despite the us expressing concern over israel's conduct in gaza as you are citing now and supporting a ceasefire. how is the white house handling this balancing act as well? okay, so your, your questions exactly right? it is a balancing act that the administration is trying to uh, to achieve. uh, where on the one hand they are pressing the israel is more aggressively

to bring down the level of violence in to and to find ways to, to achieve a ceasefire. and yet at the same time, they don't want to be in this position where they are, are not providing israel with the defense mechanisms or is or, or defense equipment that it says it needs. so they are pursuing a course as probably making both sides are unhappy. it's a sensitive political landscape in the united states right now. i don't need to tell you that how would this affect you biden's popularity during this presidential campaign season? well it's, he's already suffering uh, of course because of the unhappiness with the uh, with the us green light is rarely military operations. and guys, uh uh and uh, i think that is going to increase the unhappiness and the pressure on him

when, when people see that even though the us as supported cause for an immediate cease fire, we're continuing to provide israel with more and more weaponry that they need or want to pursue their military operations, particularly in rough last again, gerald fire scene with the middle east institute speaking to meet earlier. let's take a look though at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour of low taylor of vessels carrying a to gaza has left cyprus, almost $400.00 tons of desperately needed food. aid and other supplies are on board organized by us and a spanish charity comes within 2 weeks after the last shipment arrived in concert by sea. judge police have arrested a man suspected of holding for people hostage at a night club. after a long stand off, authorities in the dutch town of eden, said the suspect release the hostages and surrendered to the police. his motive is

still unclear. you take care to turn, police are investigating the stabbing of and around noon opposition journalist in london for the reality works for ron international, a broadcaster, which has been sharply critical of derision into wrong. he's now in stable condition in hospital after being attacked outside his home. in the london suburb of wimbledon, persian language, journalist and britain have faced a number of threats in recent years. and bailey is a spokesperson for your audience broadcaster run international. you told me more about the circumstances of the attack. it was a talked yesterday afternoon about 3 in the all new london time by 2 man um flashed with a knife. it is low about a and then a man ran off to a way she can catch my car. i don't know if he went on since then. he's in the hospital. he's making a good recovery and very much a good recovery. i spoke to him this morning on nissan's cheerful,

but of course he's very shocking and d p. take be shocking to me, and i thought he is a good spirits. p. as in good spirits, i will tell you investigation and tell of yours. so i would tell our viewers, why would you radi specifically be targeted if in fact he was surely he's not the only critic of the machine is not specifically a critic of the regime is just the most journalist working outside of ron, who report on the wrong and of considered critics of the regime, but it may affect the reporting news um on settings free news. it doesn't make you're an actual critic. uh, you know, he doesn't do a job series of criticized the of a star sions. and they've gotten the government to the wrong, he says necessarily, or you will find yourself targeted autocrat

a terrorist or something like that. simply with the fact of doing your job as a journalist and happens to everyone is around its national bbc, persian and lots and lots of reading. and john is working overseas described as of, of the same and off, similarly, threatened. fair enough. what are the british authorities doing now and how they reacted? dave reacted as they have reacted over the past couple of years. in the face of all these threats with the counterterrorism specialists are responsible for investigating this particular effect because they help people with others. and they are responsible for advising the security of people who are deemed to be under what's known as credible threats to their lives, safety. and they take appropriate measures, which of course, and they'll advertise to do as much as they count as

a killer people safety. but you don't necessarily security over time. you touched on the perception interview on that the regime and maybe others in a row and have of iranian journalist reporting outside of run. but how difficult, besides that issue is it for ronnie and journalist to report on a run from abroad? there's a lot of ways you could do it. i mean it's, it's a very, it's a very leaking country. if you put it that way, it's too well connected. you know, there are 7000000 radians living in the diaspora. with friends found a relative also inside. and communications are not blocks, you know, you called, i mean they try blocking the internet and things like this. but there are many, many ways around so you can report from inside your room as the round international does, is not just the question of reporting site protest,

as we've seen over the last year particular. but you know, it's the economy, social matches education policy. what happened during cove? it does all kinds. it's not just a question and you know, a rod international wasn't set up simply to relay into the wrong pictures and process and all that stuff. what we do, it's about news about your room back into the wrong to that's uh, adam bailey, some a ron international. i'm many thanks for speaking to dw. thank you. and us city of baltimore work is getting underway to clear the wreckage of a vital bridge which collapsed after being ran by afraid. earlier this week, heavy lift, floating cranes have arrived in the harbor to begin with. local officials say will be a daunting clean up operation. this massive clean the biggest on the us east coast capable of lifting

the bodies of new construction workers have been recovered. so jeff, let's continue to retrieve 4. are those still missing and presumed dead? all 6 men, what else? latin american heritage. and i can see that mclean advocacy groups have one of the victims. instead the critical role of immigrant workers in the us. a new country where amy friends are often demo rides from the floor of the general assembly to the house of congress. here we are remind once again about the not most contribution that they may run to make to this country. how together we us more workforce. we build this country on top of the human tragedy is the financial impact of this disaster. explicit a new bridge would take years to complete and cost hundreds of millions of dollars
