the concerns is rand, regarding the, the threats by the american administration. but i, i continue many people hearing is rose the view of these statements that are coming out of washington as statements that are linked to the internal politics in the united states. and they believe the upcoming november elections. and they're saying that inside the united states, and the biden is concerned that the own growing protest in the universe that these against the is really the warning does. uh, is it going to cost him the upcoming elections? and therefore he's making these statements. but the after the elections and whether it would be republicans or democrats, it would be more like a business as usual. right, right. at 11 more protests calling for these are the governments to do more to get

hostages released. how much pressure is the government under or yeah, when the today is the relatives of the hostages uh the stage at protest in the deluxe eve, in which they were and putting all the blame on the prime minister benjamin at the out. and, and they were saying that so long, but should be there between the hours the pricing and stuff is around, the relatives were not to be released from a captivity. and the, the 1st thing that has to be done is the removal of and that the anyhow, they called the other members of the government to leave this government. they're saying that this government is not acting to release the host is, but is a rather a, they're aiming at the war in rough us. and i, i can tell you that even though

a majority of the public is what to support some kind of like a prison or swap that hostage swap is a base the politic a right wing base is actually in favor of these kinds of operations in the fall, and this is where in it then, you know, he's getting his political support. right. somebody so cold in 0 is that him. thank you. let's look up some more stories making headlines around the world. the u. s. has criticized these are alls use of american weapons in the war and gaza . the report shown to congress as it is likely that these are all has use the arms in ways inconsistent with international humanitarian. although the documents that it could not reach quotes conclusive findings, festive, biting, all the reports. in february, people in north enough got us done, have been buried in the dead after widespread flooding tele bundle authority, say the number of people killed has now passed 330. the world health organization

said the flat side left mini mall, homeless and severely disruptive transportation. what the supplies and sewage systems to the vet told has risen to 7 after a bass crash in the russian city of saint petersburg on friday. cctv show the vehicle driving in rats. it can be before plunging into the river. but these are investigating media full to the drive as wife i see and he was forced to drive long ships without rest. are you greens precedent, blood methodist, he says ukrainian forces buckling russian troops and 7 vote villages in the northeast, in hockey region area, have multiple claims to have captured several villages in the area. you create an official say that they have evacuated hundreds of civilians from the boulder region . the city of hack, if, according to the local governor, ukraine's 2nd largest city, isn't counting. keith threatened by the russian assault. the green imagery has sent

more reinforcements to the region. for some analysis last spring, and it might be not mere on from the war studies department, a king's college learned and hello my re now so most close as its concept. several villages in the active region keeping assist it repelled the tax. is this a new front in the wall? a good evening, andy. well, i think that's a very important question because right now it is not clear. if this is exactly that russian offensive, that's the ukranian government has been expecting because your brand new military intelligence has looked at the formations, the more roofing or force is that the russians have created, amounting to some 50000 soul peers across the board or so they the, the, the whole idea of was that the russians would either attack a harkey or who may regions. so it could be, of course,

the parts of the russian offensive, or it would be at the sap, the operation to direct the ukrainians who will says and the reserves way from the bone bass away from the south to the north in order to launch something there that to, to add more to, to that, what do you think? is this a limited operation then? or is it the beginning of the ground defensive? you cream has been warning about 4 weeks. well, it remains to be seen right now. i don't see that. how's the russians would be proceeding to capture the city of hard to you? there is still a lot to be done on the ground. as of the latest news, they have apparently entered well of trying to scan and they are trying to surround the ukrainian groupings they are. so i think that the, the russian commands will look what the ukrainians will do and how many of their

reserves will be deployed to higher q before they might decide on the next move. because i think there is a possibility that they might still launch an offensive against possibly odessa or continue with us. what else can cromer for us? because we also have trusted yara. we have activity around guns, so those opposite directions are still important. so there are many of fences. let's put it that way. still underway. you there. so right now, it's not very clear what's going to happen right here. you say the ukraine is expected to receive new west and weapons in the coming weeks. come about really $380.00 to arrive in time to make a significant difference. you think or? well, i think a better question is if that a that is supposed to arrive is designed to give you crane what it needs in order to protect itself or to stop the russian advances. because on the one hand, of course, ukraine is lacking, artillery artillery systems,

and or to react munition, they are lacking armor vehicles. they are also lacking error defenses, but they are lacking manpower. and i think that's one of the critical points. and of course, the morales that you bring in troops and is also being affected by the current mobilization and the aforementioned shortages. so ukraine already received at accounts. however, as a poorly suited for these types of corporations were ukraine needs or until, or at least parity in terms of where it hillary era defenses to defend against russian sides of some sort of electronic warfare. a defensive and this is something that you create is not guiding unfortunately. so i'm not sure whether the ease or to crane is going to get this. going to make a significant difference in terms of ukraine's ability to stop the russian forces right list marine on their own from the war studies department, kings, colleagues, london,

thank you very much for having me now. use klein. the dutch contestants in this. he has the revision song, contest has been disqualified just hours before the final in this with the city of mountain. well, the thing i did not perform in friday's dresser has on something what organized as described as floats and incidents. the competition organizer says, but he's investigating a complaints from the female member of the production crew. fine song, you will papa was among the favorites to win. just joining me now is mike lead from dw college, i rosalie, and go said it was nice to have you here. i mean, look, do we know more about why that's thing got used? klein has been disqualified. yeah. so what we know is that the touch broadcaster off ro, toes has come out with a statement this afternoon, explaining that you just climbed, did indeed make a threatening movement towards

a female crew member. but this was in reaction to the crew member repeatedly, not respecting his decision, not to be filmed. and um, so they're calling the position of the ab, you to exclude klein from the competition disproportionate. and they're saying they're disappointed with it. as you can imagine, the reactions of the funds have been pretty intense, both at the venue as well as online, on social media about i guess that's to be expected, right? especially considering that his song is considered one of the favorites on the competition. what's also happening is politics creeping into this competition that's been protest calling for each route to be excluded over that guys a war spots excluding the show. yeah, so the, you mean, you have to repeatedly insisted that the eurovision song contest as a cultural event. and that there's no place for politics and light of this there. um, definitely making sure behind the scenes that the event is kept free of politics as

much as possible. this means that they will certainly be searching bags of attendees um that are in their life at the venue to make sure they're not bringing in any flags or slogans that could be related to any countries that are not represented in the contest. in terms of the performers, this also means that they have to keep their performances on political. and so we saw with is really contestant eden goals, and she actually have to change both the alerts and the title offer song and used to be called october. rain made direct reference to deal tober mazda attacks, and it's now called hurricane. there was also another instance with the french performer, so when on at the final trust for her. so today where he stopped his performance to make a statement for peace and unit to you by trying all the counter put politics aside . well, let's put politics aside. let us, let's get to you out. who are you supporting to win the concept tonight?
