for now. let's turn to some other news though us, president of joe biden says he expects iran to attack israel sooner rather than later. he warrants tyrone against any attack ball underscore in washington's commitment to defending israel. fears of iranian retaliation has been building since an error scribe. the wiper blades on israel hit test runs console in damascus . on april 1st. israel has ramped up its attacks on iran linked targets since the october 7th, tara tax. here is joe biden. now, with his message for iran, from around expectation sooner than later. what is your, what is your message to a ron? what is your message to around right now? it wrong in this moment. don't r? earlier i asked her correspondent rebecca rivers and jerusalem, what information israel has 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 threat 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 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, what we all hearing from is rarely 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 and 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 thing rather than 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, you know, 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. as rebecca renters of speaking to the earlier,

let's turn to ukraine now where the parliament has passed a new law, making it easier to call up new recruits. it requires old men between 18 and 60 years old to carry documents showing they've registered with the military. and new troops are desperately needed. a general told lawmakers ahead of the vote that ukrainian soldiers are out number 10 to one and places. parliamentarians also dropped a clause from the law, placing time limits on the surface. earlier versions allowed for d mobilization after 3 years. the emission is a bitter blow for battle weary troops, some of whom have been fighting since the war again, to wear a training ground near keys in just a few weeks time. the soldiers will head back to the front lines where they've been since wash it. and they did 2 years ago. that was last year. i got 5 days off. lots of guys in my units have families who have gone abroad. some have even become grandfathers and they've never met their grandkids hops. they never will. this is

an alex on this 1st experience of will. he served in the army of to 2014 when ukraine was fighting russian bucks that protest and don't boss. he left in 2020 to start to business, the family, his wife and his 3 year old daughter have barely seen him since he went back to his unit, tells to the full scale invasion that the if you it's hold to be serving until 2025 you know that if you survive, you'd be going home. if people come make plans, they get depressed and then they start making mistakes. alexandra tells us it's not a question of wanting to lead straight away. it's about feeling some kind of control being able to plan your life that he's convinced would be some morales, the mobilization of to 18 months on the front lines are a total of 36 months service with both discussed when this little made its way through parliament it was central to the russian now for the new pulling up the soldiers to give veterans a chance to recover. in the end,

any mention of the mobilization was dropped with little pri, wanting me, returning prisoners of to get an exception. a richie, a good target, russia is preparing to mobilize at least 300000 man over the next 6 weeks. that's in addition to 150000 during that movie service. that could be another wave of mobilization and the also, and it was more to do in this situation d, mobilizing experience soldiers would be suicide or open a window solution episode based on the way the soldiers wives and mothers protesting the parliament. don't expect the husbands to come home right away. what they want is clarity, much enjoy recount husbands of being punished for the patriotism, football and tearing to fight when the war stones with my husband told me, i can't just sit around. i have to say them someone needs to defend this country. so if i don't go who will my husbands exhausted?

he's only 29 and he's already gone. great. slavery's for now. no one in new cranes, military or politics wants to make promises to these families that they know they'll most likely have to break. what they can do is make sure it's not just those who volunteered in the of the days of the will. there's a left defending ukraine's front lines. floods having gulf cities and towns across russia ends conflicts done after melting snow. it caused the url river to burst its banks. tens of thousands of people in kazakhstan had been evacuated from their homes at a state of emergency declared there as authorities in russia urge people to leave affected areas. despite 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
