the, the, this is the that we even use my from the, in the way and says 3 of us peacekeepers and a translator were injured in an explosion on livid on southern border. 2 ways, ram, responsibility for the blast is unclear. it comes off to as well bouncing staff office defensive against the lebanese militant group has for the at a stop warning from germany's economy, minnesota, with no end in sight to brushes for ukraine over at hop x is europeans must be prepared to defend themselves. the,

i've been visible and welcome the un peacekeeping force and 11 on unit feel says an explosion has injured 3 of its observers and a trends like it. but these keeping for says those injured were on foot patrol when a shell struck me by, you know, fell, says it's investigating the cause of the incident. dw bailey bureau chief mohammed, straight to has mall. the u. n. technical observers. we're on the mission near the blue line, the on the living. he's is really a border when it last ok near their position to un peacekeepers operating in solve them to been on unit for the confirmed the incident and said it is cutting out investigations to determine the origin of the explosion. so far, 4 people have been report of the injured, the 3 that you and foreigners ended up in these translate to cause the view and condemned the incident that said, but all its machines are carried out in

a coordination with all active parties on the ground. and that the vehicle had clear un, uh, branding, now in the been on the local news agency site at a military source saying that it's and is really drawn up launched at the top on you and the vehicle. of course, the is why the army is denying responsibility for the attack so far for the 4th, the 4th day. in a row, this front is really peaking. the tension is unprecedented. at least since the beginning of the month or from a don when this font has been at cooling down a relatively. but now again, it is looking on the edge of a, a, a blow off his 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 valuable which is

relatively far from the nose into from its northern border. and this is a cleared extension of the use will rule of engagements between both parties. now there is a growing field among the many is 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 so with the worst economic and financial crisis in lebanon, small done history, and barely functioning uh like the do you and the uh, government organizations is barely able to uh, support the uh, citizens end up on the united states as authorize, the multi $1000000000.00 weapons package for you as well. according to several media reports. it comes as president joe biden publicly acknowledge the pain being felt by an arab americans over the war and guns that is also face criticism by some

in his own democratic party. the decision follows the visit biased by the defense minister. you'll have kalonde to washington. this week, and you arms package is meant to include 1800 of the most destructive spawns, used in guns that the white house declined to comment on any. we look forward to great. let's talk about this with journal as the middle east expert daniel again. then you'll be us says it's concerned about as well as conduct in gaza. why then say that 2000 pound bombs, which i highly destructive, especially in densely populated areas like us, it, it's yeah, that is a contradiction that is being discussed in the american media a lot. apparently, the by net ministration doesn't see a contradiction here because it says it provides these weapons not to present and send it to you all with them. they have a difficult relationship at the moment and who is like, of course, calling the shots and the gods opperation,

but they are providing this plays real security, i think for the buy number ministration there in a way to lose lose situation because it's uh, support for the is really a military on the one hand and, and then it's, um, it's uh opposition to the behavior open that then you all government on the other leads it into a difficult situation to a quagmire. and it's on y'all, has, has, has successfully lobbied congress, not only the republican party, but also the democrats for many years. and he's now caching in on, on, on, on what he had been successfully doing over the last decades. and on the other hand, of course, the joe biden has a position inside his own party of many young americans, not only out of americans, the young people in this country see that there is a contradiction in these policies. and if you drive around here in, in, in america, you would probably see of the freeway of billboard, which says your techs pay us money, kill, kills children and gaza. so this is a difficult situation, and the biden seems not to be handling it very well. and to abide is also the

facing criticism for his failure to stop as well as campaign in gaza. what leverage does he have with benjamin netanyahu? when you say that the, the license that difficult right now, as he would, he would probably argue that america so far succeeded in delaying the operation. because whereas nathan, y'all has announced it's going to happen soon and we will do it an america said, please don't do it, please don't do it the way you have done it in gaza. if you need to operate militarily enough, i apply a different tactic, a different strategy, protect the civilians and provide also a tangible strategy. for the day after abide would say that a, y'all has not implemented this so far. he has made many announcements and of course the, the war is going on, but he hasn't done the ground operation and dropped off to the extent that they have operated in garza and con units and other places in the gaza strip. so he would say that this is our married and of course,

if you look at the behavior of the united states states. so the reason the united nations security council resolution where they have stain, uh, in the face of an unanimous vote in favor of a ceasefire, then you can say, okay, the americans are applying some pressure on that on, you know, buttons and the hours cold, the of cost calculating that he might not be hosted before but present biden's house the house did because he definitely invest in a republican victory and the next presidential election. and donald trump would be his favorite candid daniel, thank you very much for your analysis. done. you'll get lost, they're joining us from san francisco. i believe that right? yeah. and things like that. 50 again say. so let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news for taylor of vessels carrying a 2 guns that has left cyprus. was 400 tons of desperately needed food and other supplies are on board organized by a us and a spanish channels. it comes more than 2 weeks after the last shipment arrived in

gauze, a bicycle final rallies have being held in turkey, a head of local elections on sunday. president, richard tony, a bad one is aiming to recapture it. is simple. the country's economic powerhouse is nominated for the environment. permit us to move out. cool. for america. city polls show him slightly trailing the incumbent. met a crumb him. um oil from the offices of republic. people's party. that's police. the rest of the man suspected of holding for people hostage at a night club after a long stand. awful thought he's in the dutch town of a to said the suspect released the hostages and surrounded police have ruled out terrorism. as among germany's vice chancellor administer of the economy will that topic has deliberate a stock warning for the future of europe in an easter address. he said, germany and the you must be prepared to defend themselves against military attacks

in life. the warranty? okay. does english we long for peace. yes. all right, but the honest, bitter answer for this is that there will probably not be a quick good bend even if we wish. otherwise, since we have to adapt to the threat situations going on and anything else would be naive effect and therefore, we would be well advised to invest more in our own security. we, german, each european union must protect ourselves all around including from military attacks. so please party is ceo of the political consultancy rest most and global. he was the nature director of policy planning. but to have you with us, the reason do you agree? first of all, we've held back that they'll be no quick and peaceful end to the warranty. okay. but i think i tend to agree, but the longer i think we make up all minds. um, did they reset the title range westerns? or did they bring the kind of quantity or ought to be, shows that the,

your presence needs did fine and how pretty close by again, the russian forces, the longer it takes us to make those decisions, the longer unwinnable and easy to peace would be oh, how big side europe must adapt to threats. is the you doing that effectively or, or as of is way too slow for your as well. i think we're clearly seeing this try to is it a way for me across europe and across the west that i know we are no longer living in a piece of time. but we're leaving it some kind of pre war time where we need to be purple. the worse, however, i think the name of we face is, is very simple and i'm not sure because he is a corporate, his son king. i know we're going to contain russia border and the ukrainian forties boulder. well, we're going to continue russia. i the russian. you bring in boulder and i think

what we do to help him ukraine a good 5 kids. ok by territories. and when this war, with this sign on to full time, and the resourcing pensiveness of these containment for the coming to publish 5 minutes, the total task says war is no longer a concepts from the past. it is real and it started over 2 years ago. the most worrying thing at the moment is that literally any scenario is possible. he says, we haven't seen a situation like this since 1945. what a europe fleet is trying to achieve with such warnings when i think so trying to move in each other. and because i don't see this yet for consensus among the europe and count to uh, between the 2 leaders that we need to prepare for. and we need to be for our industry, i know citizens a and then of course, a is also

a message sends to europe in voters and citizens that we need to face the cost that we'll, we won't be for a should we do require. and the best way to prevent more is if we have a sort of defense, not what the police going, how much is to 8 by spending up to 4 percent of his gdc defense. how would you say the war in ukraine has changed? the use approach to joint defense. i think it, the credit is being a resolution as far as the europe and you know, and it's called sort of where before it was a kind of civil to actor on europe in defense question and know both in terms of financing, but also increasingly coming using a supporting different corporation multinational projects. there'll be a different interest you and capacity to use and capacity to put the small across your all europe,

engineering. and he's actually stepping. we pull these potential discount muscle that no member states are lucky, but also its capacity to bring together all the different players. and i think the coming years of next year, if it could be sure, would be great to kind of getting this right because we have seen many promises all strong and great your defense in the past, but often face slot. but nowadays, are we up this up on the switches? are we going to be able to continue to russians? read all the time. and russian president vladimir putin says he bought a tack, a native country, but the bases in countries like poland, that host ukrainian 5 digits would become legitimate targets. would that trigger of why the conflict? the way? i think this game which he likes to play with all minds, which is on one hand, he pretends is a manual piece, is just defending some of these core interest. i know he's obviously threatened me

and, and due to heat solve our capabilities, it will seem russian besides crossing the door to space. so, so the sprint that, you know, with victory yes, from a going to the next. uh, either way, the next pushing the envelope in providing the next kind of weapon systems to do ukrainian. so i think it's more interesting to the 3rd will do a more and ukraine than he really directed straight to an international territory security analysts company support here. thank you very much for being on dw news. media, british counterterrorism. police are investigating the staffing of an a rainy and journalist in london for ya. so dante works for a run international broadcast. it's critical of the regime in tehran. he's in a stable condition in hospital after being attacked outside his home in the london suburb of wimbledon, post and language journalists in britain to face the number of threats in recent years. this is the is one of the christian world's most important festivals,
