empire. richardson, thank you very much for joining us. us president joe biden says he expects iran to attack israel sooner rather than later. he warrants have run against any attack, while underscore in washington is commitment to defending as well. fears of a ronnie and retaliation have been building since an air strike widely blamed on his right israel hit 10 runs console in damascus. on april 1st, israel has ramped up. it's a tax on a wrong link to targets since the october 7th turbo tax. here's biden with a message for iran, from iran expectation sooner than later. what is your, what is your message to ron? what is your message to around right now? iran in this moment. don't r 6. so claire words, there are from us president bite,

and let's get straight across to jerusalem. and our correspondent rebecca readers for more rebecca, the usaa is now rushed. warships to protect is riley and american forces in the region. what information does israel have on the likelihood of an iranian attack as well, the exact concrete information that either the us or is riley intelligence have is difficult to ascertain. we don't know exactly what they know. they obviously only want to give you that information publicly. what they want to know, what they want to be known publicly and everything that we have come from limited briefings leaks, reports and the like. but what we do know is that most iran and israel, as you've just reported their president by and both sides taking this face threats incredibly seriously. we've been, they've been now more than a week. these threats and they are a not, and not messing around the us,

bolstering defense. it's defense and deterrence in the region as you just reported there. and we've been a also have getting reports. so there's been reports in the, in the us media to suggest that iran has also threatened us targets in the region. should they come in defense of israel as they have said, they would do. so both sides taking, they, these threats from iran, incredibly serious they, well we all hearing from is riley intelligence, is that they are particularly looking particularly worried about targets in the south of the country around a lot on the border region there. and as well in the north of a night, we saw some rocket fire and drones come in from his blood. they claimed responsibility for that. it was one of the biggest attacks we've seen in a while, though it is largely felt that that is a continuation of the tit for tat with saying relative in some kind of escalation. when it comes to this a right in front, though, it could also be said in middletown unless i have been, you know, potentially some i think that that could also be trying to get

a busy up the troops and the results as the israel have in order for a round to be able to attack. so you know, still a lot unclear and everybody really waiting with bated breath to see how this will play out. and rebecca, we have been talking about this all week. i made escalating tensions after that error stripe on the embassy in damascus. do you think that we're now looking at a potential tipping point here? so that's also difficult for me to say definitively clear. i mean it's certainly, you know, we have been talking about this all week. the timeline has been shifting. we were hearing reports that it would come with in the week that that timeframe has possibly hearing that it could happen by the end of ramadan. that timeframe has passed. we've been hearing report that in the next 24 to 48 hours and that window is slowly closing to. so it's really, really difficult to say it's difficult to say, you know, whether iran is even serious about these attacks. it's certainly what the

intelligence and military officials are taking it very seriously, but perhaps they will be no attack. or perhaps they waiting to surprise. uh, you know, at a time lays it down the track. we just don't, we just don't know, but they certainly feels like a tipping point. uh, uh, you know, this weekend is, is tipped to be, you know, the time that we, we are expecting some kind of attack. we know that his route has stepped off. it's a security, it is without warning. so it's called to, that's an embassies globally. it is, you know, it is scrambling g p. s, in some cases within israel. and it's, uh, you know, it's, it's to, it's taking these threats very seriously. the army hasn't actually put out any significant changes of the civilian population. perhaps in order not to panic, is riley's, but they are wanting is ready to be very vigilant that they are a defense systems. are, you know, some of the best in the world, but they cannot withstand, you know, everything. so to warning civilians to remain vigilant,

we certainly have to see this weekend how it pans out and, and what else we have from military and intelligence officials in the coming days. rebecca, thank you. that is our correspondent, rebecca renters in jerusalem to haiti now where the government has issued a decree of formalizing the creation of a transitional presidential council. but without naming any of its members, the move is an attempt to quell the ongoing term while in the country caused by armed criminal games. prime minister aria on re has promised to step down once a successor has been found. the decree is seen as the 1st step towards new elections in 2026, but many questions surrounding the transitional counsel and who will be on it, remain on answered human rights lawyer and activist brian at content and told dw, it could be very difficult for haiti to form a fully functioning transitional council. it's important to note from the beginning

that there is no council and it also has not been appointed. everybody was expecting a council to be appointed. but if you look at the document that the current government has issued and prime minister ariel henry is still in office, he hasn't been able to come back to 80 since march 5th. but he is still in office and his government is still running. they said that the people designated for the council who designated after 5 weeks of negotiation, they can now apply to his government to see if they're eligible. once the government decides who's eligible the the council can be installed when the prime minister makes the necessary recommendations. remember, he's in california, but after that happens, you still don't have a new government until a new prime minister has been, has been agreed on and named. and it looks like it's going to be at least more at least weeks. and probably months before the transitional council actually takes

office if ever. so in the short term, you're certainly not going to be any progress against the gags because there's not going to be a transition in order to to pursue the gags. it was brian at content in talking to dw earlier, we can take a look now at some other world news headlines. a u. s. judge has rejected hunter biden's bid to dismiss a federal firearm case against him. biden is accused of lying about, his drug keeps on a form in 2018 to buy a gun. the son of the us president says the charges against him or politically motivated. one person has been tells and several others, excuse me. 7 others injured and a cable car accident in turkey. the cabin hit a pylon and burst open, causing passengers to plunge to the mountain side. below. 2 children are among the injured, near the city of antalya. germany's parliament has passed the law making it easier

for transgender intersects and non binary people to change their names and genders and legal documents. for self determination act, a drops of obligatory psychological and legal assessments. the law has faced opposition from conservative and religious groups, and some feminist floods have engulfed cities and towns across russia and context on after melting snow caused the earl river to burst its banks. tens of thousands of people in cars like sun has been evacuated from their homes. and a state of emergency declared their as authorities in russia urged people to leave affected areas. just by reaching historic levels, flood waters have still not peaked. the residents and the suburbs of or in book survey, the damage to the homes, trying to save the belongings from the waist high floodwaters.

so you can see the situation for yourselves, for the use of this is how high the will the rows of the last 3 days, which we never expected it to rise so high, which i'll call the furniture upstairs on finishing up, but it's all floating now. others, the heating official cools to leave the area of the or she's one for the flooding is expected to representative. yesterday they cut off. i like tricity, we heard the sirens, we had to evacuate. so it's impossible to stay on the emergency crews and neighboring cause ex, done a pumping the water away from populated areas while residents and neighborhoods where the water has already subsided, begin cleaning up and assessing the damage. nobody was in the

house the bomb and everything was on the water. you can, you can see the broken refrigerator, the washing machine, nc to align the height. the water levels are expected to rise. the going into the weekend, the floods to the west and the region for nearly a century and in columbia bogota would normally be experiencing heavy rains this time of year. but an extended heat wave has left the capital dangerously short of water. authorities have now introduced water saving measures, including dividing the city into zones where water supplies are regularly turned off. people are also being urged to cut their consumption, the washing the dishes with the bath minimum of the water. this is the new normal for many and full time as for city has begun rationing the precious resource, the on of the us family lives in one of the district. that is the 1st to experience a 24 hour water cut off. they tried to use as little as possible and have pills

buckets before the outage months. i jesse's in. yeah, there is the fear that this could become a regular cover and then think of around maybe they wanted the water and the rest of was really drops from it. and they really will be know to left for us for i'm with water that are wallace. this is just one, look at one of the what has main reservoir shows that saving every drop of water has paramount. the sun roof as a reservoir is at a critical low. this whole area here should be covered in water. but as you can see, i can easily walk through the middle of the reservoir here, outside bow tie. and it's actually that this water here supplies 70 percent of the population of over time surroundings. but currently, it only holds 16 percent of the water capacity. if it doesn't drain and people don't reduce the water consumption, what is left could vanish in between more than a month? there are several reasons for the critically low levels. they usually strong regional rein, full has been almost absent since last year to, to the

a new phenomenon and climate change. but these haven't been the only factors leading to the current crises. in recent years, the consumption of fulton and bull time has risen as the city continues to grow. and the government needs to get to plan and regulate its resources as well as taking care of the local ecosystems. so it's kind of those movies you edit out of the w, w, f looking thing that most those most that we need to understand our dependence on nature, looking at that is what this crisis is basically showing on. when i put pics without management protection and conservation of the and the and for us and the wetlands we depend on the shortages will get worse just because, like i said, it's because car is a certain measure of the blood tests may have gotten lost and then look at lenses, individuals will also have to do what they can to avert and impending catastrophe. so you don't know good, almost blue seed of if we don't succeed in reducing consumption and then we'll be able to not only have to uphold restrictions in store credit. so we will need to tighten it up at quarter to keep fast and shower short seemed

a maximum of 5 minutes. you can really do it in less time. and those are going to say that if you just do it to come in, this is 58 percent of our water consumption to move unit days. it's all in outlook that makes the prints, if about his son's future. i then, of course, can know it is one of the things that i asked myself when i looked at him. and why did i bring him into this? well, however, columbia is still one of these privileged place a to. so i know that we need to do something, then it will say that our children can still enjoy the part of the paradise we have here with him. and his son is learning to be mindful about his motive consumption but, but will test was a crisis will likely last a while until much needed. rain comes again and some sad news in the world of fashion now as a tele and design are. roberto corvalle has died at the age of 83 known for his bold and colorful animal. prince volley found it his own label in 1970. he was
