the, the, the state of the news line from berlin, israel's allies urge, was strange as the country considers how to respond to iran. unprecedented aerial attack. prime minister netanyahu meets with his war cabinets and shores. this conflict is not over. iran calls it's wave of missiles and drones measured and justified by the us warrens that won't join any retaliatory operations. also on the program, donald trump arrives at a new york court house for his historic hush money. trial is the 1st time and ex president has faced criminal charges, which trump calls, quotes an assault on america and meet the new champions of durban. football

labor cozen, rejoiced as they secured their 1st ever bundles like a title after defeating bremen. 5. now the comical for at least welcome to the show. israel is waiting up. it's response to iran after it attacked with hundreds of missiles and drones over the weekend. is there is war cabinet met without announcing any definitive course of action, but said it would respond at a time and in a manner of its choosing world leaders, including germany, sort of, shots of call for de escalation. iran says it's assault was an act of self defense after several generals were killed earlier this month and an attack on his diplomatic compound in damascus, syria to the craters left by it runs aerial attack. israel's

military says this desert air be sustained only minor damage if brawn launched more than $300.00 drones and miss styles. israel and its allies shot down nearly all of them. despite decades of intense and moody, this was a ron's 1st direct attack on israel. while world leaders call for calm and restrained, israel's president says, options are open. this is like a reading wall, and it's, i mean this is a declaration of whether or not, not because we are a strain and we cause we know the river cushions. and because we have the liberation without thoughts, as we are considering all options, and i'm quite confident that we wouldn't take the necessary steps that are necessary to protect and defend on people. we are not to all say cuz i think i

would leave it at that. the us says it will support israel's defense, but it will not take part in any military retaliation against iran. it's going to be up to these rarely some side uh what, what the next step is here. i would just say this president button since the beginning of this conflict has worked very hard to keep this from becoming a broader regional war. israel's war cabinet met without announcing any decision as the world waits to see what comes next. a must gilliard is a retired major general with the israel defense forces and an intelligence and military expert. and i asked him earlier, what steps he expected israel to take next. so the thing was the face of the window . it seems that the we need to keep our goals to to have the right, the operation do or die. anyway, we are low with

a rodney right. who's the book sees the course is all the cost, the low side, so peace ran into running safe is the, it was, it was the see, the vision need for me say, and they'll so this whole nuclear power. so generally speaking is very hospitable stage and the the, the stage of this, oh, good sense of where we need to see. let me start with what should the so what should have responded look like then without risking a major regional conflict. with the physical. revisit that. i mean we need to respond, but in your diet. and either way, the stairwell mission of the secuity interest, the way we need to live immediately. we. ready take style,

we can be close to the offer and we still also yeah, we got to do what they expected us to do as a must kelly at speaking to us earlier? well, well, remember ronda military analyst from king's college in london also gave us her view on what could be israel's next steps? a good day in the quote. it's a very difficult question because we don't know how israel will react. and indeed, on the one hand, we have a lot of international pressure, most notably from the united states, but also from germany, the united kingdom on israel to basically not respond. and the allies made it very clear that they will not be involved in any counter attack on the right. and on the other hand, um for benjamin nothing. yeah. well now this is a huge problem because he has hard liners which are important through his political future. who are saying that the east route on has to resonate throughout the middle

east. israel has to respond and to respond to have a leak in order to re establish its own deterrent, which has been a role that officers or to boss habits attacks. so it's a very difficult situation specifically, because if israel is to retaliate, have only against to run, there is no certainty that the allies will come to help a 2nd time. and of course, it also puts into questions of allegiance of i was a goals. countries who have allegedly helped um, jordan has help. we know that, but some of the others likes that. you are e and saw uribe a they tried to kind of distance themselves from this, but still they provided intelligence. and so they will have to be choosing between israel and the iran in the sense of course, there are no friends of the room, but this will be

a very difficult situation for them. giving the power dynamics that exist in the middle east. yeah, so it remains to be seen which way israel goes. yeah. but the behind closed doors, you know, whatever analysts do speak to it seems like neither a run nor is real. seemed to be also interested in an all out war. this looks like we're in an eye for an eye situation though with neither side wanting to be seen as weak. how big do you consider the danger of this spiraling further out of control as well? the problem here is that iran didn't want to know loud where it wanted to a drawer, the red lines, and this strike, which many sad, oh, it was a strategic failure for you. ron was actually a very smart, strategic move because without causing any destruction, it's managed to draws a tread line now for each row, each row kennel before the war right now because it's already a war. and it depends on the support of the allies. most notably the united states

in order to achieve its objectives in gaza. so neither of them want the war, but neither of them want to risk their reputation and specifically israel, which believes to be surrounded by enemies. and we don't know how far the arrow on the chords will go in this sense because because of that over seven's attacks, everything has been put on hold. so each route has to demonstrate its strength in order to deter results. but the actual enemy, such a task block, for instance, or i'm sorry, all of the who do use in the m and do not attack is trial. so there can be also a miscalculation, for instance, imagine that the attack that the run lounge would have a lot to death of civilians on these roads for me. if not, everything has been shut down so that there is a risk of also that these unknowns that could lead to an escalation without either side. one thing, one, now

a rather big unknown is or runs nuclear program. we know that it is evolving. we don't really know where it stands. how much should that factor into israel's calculations here? well, i think it will factor in a lot if we remember that israel has already made an attempt to undermine it. back simon, launching stocks. net on the, on the front end here is that this time you throw might be more attempted to strike directly at military targets and nuclear facilities was in around and for you. right? and of course, this is exactly why run doesn't want to war because he wants to finish its nuclear program, develop nuclear weapons in order to have a solar deterrent against each row and against the united states. so certainly that will be something that is factored in. that being said, we don't know how you ran, we'll respond down, shoot israel launch any direct stripe on iranian nuclear facilities. or maybe there

will be a more cover it way to try to undermine it. all of this uncharted territory. thank you so much. that was military analyst marie number on joining us from king's college. thank you so much to the united states. now we're donald trump, has arrived at a new york courthouse for the start of jury selection and is harsh money trial. trump is the 1st former us presidents to be criminally pers, for prosecuted. he's accused of falsifying business records for payments made to an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election. it's just one of the many indictments against him. he described the trial as political persecution, end and assault on america as he addressed the media before entering the court room . from where we can speak to our washington bureau chief and as full as the 1st criminal trial of a former us president. ever. what can we expect us? well, nicole than ever trumpets in boston can expect

a significant political spectacle. he will seize, every opportunity to proclaim is innocence, claim bias from the judges and labor. as have done that before, this trial, as a huge restaurant. and this case, you just mentioned that it's particularly noticeable as it marks the 1st time in the history of the united the 1st time and 235 years the former president is being prosecuted. so after all this gives char expected to be of course, then strongly daniels himself and mcdonnell and trump's former lawyer, michael cohen cohen, he pleaded, guilty last year and served the federal prison, prison time to be a very important witness for the prosecution was in his full joining us from washington, thank you so much. they also marks the 1st anniversary of the start of su don's civil war,

which has killed thousands and triggered the world's largest crisis of displaced people. and international donors conference is being held in paris with the united nations, appealing for some $4000000000.00 and $8.00, the u. n. says some 18000000 people 3rd of students population needs food assistance for their survival. we'll speak about that in just a minute. but before we do, let's have a look back at how the conflict began. citing your reps and students capital in april 2023. a power struggle between 2 rival generals spills out onto the streets of cartoon. when a deal on transitioning to civilian rule falls apart. at the center of the conflicts are abdel side to alber had the effective ruler of sudan and mohammed him down the head of arrival paramilitary group, the rapids support forces. in 2021 they had formed an alliance staging. a

2 as 2 down was trying to transition to a civilian lead democracy after decades of dictatorship. but the generals then turn on each other as they fight over integrating the paramilitary into the regular army . the rapids support forces take control of cartoon airport and the presidential palace a year on the control, much of the capital millions of people are internally displaced, others have floods to down the siding, has damaged key infrastructure. food and medicines are in short supply. people are living in squalor and eat. organizations are ringing. the alarm time is running out without a stop to the fighting, an amended access for the delivery of humanitarian aid. so don's crisis will

dramatically worse than the months to come and come to impact the. ready region, we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg at the situation to do much more by in reality, despite international calls for a ceasefire and do between the warring generals seems out of reach as the conflict enters it's 2nd year. we can now welcome kelly clemens. she's the deputy high commissioner of the u. s. refugee agency, you and hcr. she joins us from geneva. kelly, good to have you on the show. you just got back from sounds like you've done. that's the country that is received. the largest number of student needs refugees. what did you experience there? the situation really is quite dramatic. i mean, we have, we are a year in, but 8 overall 8600000 people uprooted from their homes. most of them internally displaced. but there is an important number of refugees and return is in some cases

in south sedan is one of those areas that actually has received over a half a 1000000 cell seeing these return ease because of the war it started a year ago in sedan. these are people that have not necessarily lived in south sedan any time in recent and recent history. they are needing to rebuild their trying to find their, their footing again, their, their fling of course a very difficult circumstances inside to them. and then add to that. um, hundreds of thousands of refugees and this is a, you know, obviously the world's youngest country. um, 11000000 people was already hosting about 310000 refugees before the war broke out . and add to that, of course, another couple of 100 students use refugees and they continue to arrive. we were in rank a couple of days ago, which is right on the border with sedan. and we still see about 1800 people a day crossing the border. they are lacking everything, you know, it's food,

it's water, it's a place to, to shelter themselves. there's an enormous logistical operation that we've launched with the interagency in terms of trying to move people out of that congested area and try to allow them then some place to re establish themselves safely. the needs are quite dramatic. the stories that they were telling of trauma of gender based violence because of course the majority of those that are crossing our, our families are women, women, and children. and so the relief community is really just trying to step up with very mika resources in order to, to support a really horrific situation. the were in. so don is often called the forgotten war . how dangerous is it for the people of to dont know the international community seems to prioritize other conflicts as well? the indeed it is a forgotten crisis. it is 11 year in with, with millions and millions of people that have been operated rooted and really need everything. we have launched as the top of the program. you, you mentioned a,

an appeal between the activities inside to them. and then of course, the neighboring countries for the refugee and the return a response, a little over $4000000000.00 of those. the requirements are only 6 to 7 percent met . and we're already the middle of april. and this means of course, that we're not able to provide the kind of live saving support that's necessary. we are not able then to have a children back in school inside sudan, that means 19000000 children in need of some kind of education. that means a 1000000 refugees and neighboring countries that we're trying very much to support host communities to be able to integrate those refugees into their services. but these are very poor countries that who's, who's citizens as well have basic needs for, for aid and assistance. we need much more attention to the humanitarian requirements that are necessary and we also need to step up the supports through international financial institutions and others to try to deal with very basic but

important economic impacts. a security impacts and development needs that have gone unmet. so the needs are vast at today's donor conference. so don is finally top of the agenda. what results are you hoping for their or well, we're hoping for the 1st obviously for, for a lot more attention to this crisis association to the hostilities piece. so some ability for, for student to come back together and these communities that have been rots with the conflict in war for their to be some reconciliation. but until then, we need the humanitarian aid, not just to continue to, but to ramp up significantly or not even meeting basic assistance. now we do hear about support that is coming from the international community. it's a little early, i think the conference is still under way, but we would need much more support to be able to, to meet those $4000000000.00 in requirements and to be able to, to assist those host countries that have already managed. a huge humanitarian of

responsibility on behalf back behalf of the international community, but also to go much further. yes. the donor conference by definition is mostly focused on raising money, but also on funding pass to piece. how important is it to empower civil society to fight for democracy in a setting like the one we're encountering and so done. oh, it's usually important. you must have the civil society at the table. you must have women lead organizations and, and refugees return is the people of sudan, very much a part of that conversation. and this is something, of course, that we have have promoted in terms of the support that we're providing, particularly in, in those neighboring countries. there still is, there's a strong grass roots support in terms of being able to provide for their, for their own own citizens. and to try to re establish some of those services that become very tremendously important in order to look forward to the day that hopefully they can return voluntarily safety, safely,

and dignity. and without that civil society voice, of course it's very difficult for peace to prevail was you and i see our deputy high commissioner kelly clements. thank you so much for your time joining the double you today. thank you. it's a bit of a drastic change of topics. now, some football because it was a historic weekend here in germany with fire labor cozen, breaking byron unix decade, long dominance to clinch this year. splendidly, a title with 5 games to spare. this is labor. who was the 1st link title in the clubs, 120 year history. the day the keys and signs go wilds. off to thrashing visitors begged of. raymond supports his joints. the play is on the page to celebrate the clubs 1st ever been to seek a title. the highlights of an electrifying season, david crews and well,

um beach and for $29.00 league games in a row. securing that position at the top of the table, the it is, it will say the 1st title is a coach for the most in mind on the bench, shelby alonzo. it's unbelievable to win for the 1st time, lose the 1st time you suspicion on for us to to being able to be part of it. and to that you see that excitement before the game and do the game for, for the funds to how much it means for icing. the 44 for all of us. well, it will take some time that we, we realize how important this, how, or on the way it's caused me not just for the results as where they were there way with the theme test. great. the final when that secure, then the tracy was an impressive 5 mill victory of agreement, showing funds what that may don't with miss field to run a chunk of scoring one goal until time and talents florian bids,

putting 3 in the notes for the team. for the 1st time and move in a decade. i mean it can not depend, does leak of champions this year with labor cruz's time to shine. the squad show their appreciation to shelby alonzo. the non behind the success play showering humorous page during the place, much press conference. in fact, the last time by a labor keys and had won anything, was the german cop in 1993. the season, the 1st full campaign under the spaniards. the team has been nothing short of magical navy crews and lost the game all season in any competition under alonzo. the in the team in your big 5 leaves to do so. with the blended lead guitar . lynn. huh. and then making a run in the road. lead and to reach the gym and comp final. the come up with coins, never crews, and due to never winning the league of to only his 1st full season in charge shall

be alonzo. his guaranteed they'll never be referred to as never cruise. and again, we can now bring in the acute disease as sports journalist for the german soccer magazine as going to 11 friends. mia, it was an incredible season for labor crews and bagging the title with 5 games to spare. what's the secret to their success? i mean, the secret is probably that there's no star of the team. i mean the stars, obviously sharpie alonzo, the coach. but there's not this one player that is better than everyone. and the secret to their success. i mean there's so many county chuck a, some pong the arctic square miles, sylvian goods, obviously, but also people like you know, time time, who lives in part of the team for a very long time, but are now on the reaching are full potential that alonzo has curated this formula where you have the feeling that they can be any team and no matter what

tactics the other, the opposition will bring to the table. they'll find some way to beat them. so that is pretty extraordinary. and probably one of the is not the best teams. the policy guys ever seen. teamwork makes the dream work. a buyer have not last name the season in any competition, the travel is still within reach. do you think this one is like a title is just the beginning for them? i think it might be, i mean they are the highly favor as a team and the finale of the german cup. they're playing 2nd division sides kinds of thoughts on which they will probably when and then in the european championship they have played these crazy games with super like late goals and an extra time and stuff like that. and you just feel like, i mean they, they play fantastic football. so it's not some sort of magic secret,

but you feel like they just can't be beaten no matter what, even if it looks really bad, like a couple of minutes before the end. you have a feeling that they'll turn around any game. so honestly, to me there's no argument to say that they won't win at all. yeah. so what does this all mean for german soccer after a decade? environment and dominance are labor cruising now? the ones to beat me for now they are, cuz like i said, it's one of the best. one is the good things we've ever seen. if not the best are far better than buyer. and i mean, it definitely means that, but we'll shut off on this, getting challenged as the number one challenge or fire. and so we'll probably see like a competition between the 2, between labor and buyer and in the next couple of years. and maybe it's the beginning of the beginning of an era. we'll see it's very, very interesting time. that one is, may agree to from s one to thank you so much for your insights. thank you. i are

coming up next on the w. how does the brain process empathy and what does that mean for the psycho past spring sent you in for that? we'll be back more headlines at the top to the next hour. see that's the
