a, uh, a fred of it, they seeing all the time, the same song in the country, it's not for sale. they are against this investment to redeem because they said that a foreign companies would take all day. and that's what other resources like, or gas 9 every, like lithium and it for a foreign companies. and they also against labor reform be said that these reform includes a, make it easier for the state and for the private company to lay off employees. and they are against also depends on reform because they don't know a big we could get a medium in pension when they get ahold of a 100 robust. so in point us iris, thanks so much. thank you very much. i or a flare up of violence on israel is northern border is feeling fears of a wider war. in the middle east, lebanon, iran backed, has belie militia, has fired its largest barrage,

yet more than 200 rockets into northern israel. the groups as it was in response to the killing of one of its senior commanders. and it is rarely airstrike on tuesday, as well as considered a terrorist organization by germany, the us and several of sunni arab countries. the funeral of the most senior has been lost vigor killed since october polyps. samuel de la was known within hezbollah as hodge who told him and perhaps the clearest indication of his status on the battlefield during the funeral procession. and be rude about to retaliate. the and there's a lot of i know there's going to be our response to the martyrdom of abu talent people. then we will increase our operation is an intensity for us, what quantity and quality waiting see on the battlefield. a israel says the strike on

a has bullet command and control center took out albuterol or in response to bullet launched, one of his heaviest rocket attacks on northern israel and mit already escalating clashes across the 11 on israel border. since october strikes of killed 25 people on the is rarely side, including 10 civilians and over 400 people in lebanon, including more than 70 civilians. to the latest casualty, public utility worker and the 11 east town, if knock were killed and it is really drone strike, it sort of resolved. if it was one of the guys who was persistent and patient to the american, he was a good person. so he didn't want to leave the town. the us is calling for the escalation, while us secretary of state antony, blinking, said a gauze or deal would also help lower israel lab and on tensions. now there's no

doubt in my mind that the, the best way also to empower a diplomatic solution to the north webinar is a resolution of the conflict and guys getting the ceasefire. that will take a tremendous amount of pressure out of the system. possibilities have forced more than a 150000 people on both sides of the border to flee their homes. resolution lincoln says these to also ensure their safe return home. now to some of the other stories making news around the world, a massive blaze has broken out at an oil refinery in northern iraq. around a dozen firefighting teams have been working to bring the flames under control. the cause of the fire was not immediately clear. so far, there are no reports of injuries. russian worship had been participating in

military exercises in the caribbean. they were seen sailing into the cuban port of havana on wednesday. us military experts say the vessels may also stop in venezuela . another long time ally of russia, ukraine's president will let him as a lensky has met with crowned prince mohammed, been so mine in saudi arabia. so ascii, called the meeting, meaningful and energetic ukrainian leader is on a diplomatic tour to drum up support. a head of a piece summit this weekend, as germany is military means more soldiers. that was the message as defense minister boris. the story is outlined a new plan to increase the number of recruits any armed forces. and it's not only germany, more european countries are taking steps to strengthen their armed forces after rushes full scale invasion of ukraine. germany ended compulsory conscription to 13

years ago and has struggled to recruit soldiers sense. the german defense minister has a simple go to the number of soldiers, the 100 so uh, according to all international military ex. but it must be assumed that russia will be capable. i want to stress capable to attack a native state or a neighboring state. i'm in a tabulated from 2029 on once i left the bus stop also guys. currently the german army consist of some 180 pads and soldiers. the story is wants this number to grow to at least 200000 according to the new plans, every 18 year old in germany, men and women will be sent to questionnaire. feeling is in will be compulsory for young man. was initially not for women. some 400000 young germans will be contacted this way. as of those share who express interest would be advised that the physical examinations up to $10000.00 new recruits will be identified every year. they would serve

a 6 month basic military service with the option of signing up for 23 months. but there were some concerns. i think it will be a big challenge the beginning to finds the capabilities of training, personal training installations to train all these people. will think everybody is agreeing uh that if you want to organize the defense of germany and on a territory that we need to hire capacity in the history, we have to reorganize and we have to go with this loan in the hard way to achieve the goals we want to achieve this or is plans still have to be discussed and the 3 policy coalition government before they can become law for the liberal f t p policy in particular it's vice of the germany system will be voluntary, not compulsory. like in scandinavia, we have one conflict which is also clear to us that we shouldn't let things slip into a swedish model. we'll keep this in mind as we look at the plans in detail when they're available in writing for the majority of german support. the reintroduction of some

form of conscription best among the generations. that will be effected opinion is divided. thanks for so i think i went through it think like a simply because i think you can get to know lots of people that i think is just something different. and i think it's also an experience that you're trying to get to the wise someone come and stick to a certain extent, rob say, tina rose of the opportunity to think what do i actually want to do work and i do something good. and we'll kind of just go to student. uh, it's been fun. you guys may have the opinion that this is something that simply encroaches on people's personal rights. and that's generally a mistake mind and fill up the new funds would not require changing the constitution. and would therefore not require a 2 thirds majority in parliament. so once the government parties have agreed on the details, conscription like can become law most likely before the federal elections in 2025

and the count down. so the european football championship has officially begun frankfurt, march the start of euro 2024, with a light and laser show for an audience of about 15000 people. germany's financial capital will host 5 games next week before that, germany face of scotland and the opening match in munich, this friday. and scottish fans there have already started getting in the middle, the but there's a lot more going on behind the scenes hosting the tournament is a massive security challenge with threats ranging from potential terrorism to hooligan violence. a reporter visits the security of nerves center for euro 2024, to chico for the euros is just hours away. the x in here has been in full swing for months. it's the security in the center for the tournaments, staffed by police officers from all 24 participating countries. whole germany has

tried to balance informing the public of potential threats without spoiling the excitements, easy to add to the security situation as tents. this applies to cyber security, as well as, as long as terrorism in other areas. however, i can also say that there are currently no concrete indications of a threat and connection with the euro. but many germans still concerns. a recent survey indicates almost half the population fear a possible attack during the urals security experts say the greatest potential threats is currently post by the lennox state offshoot. i s k p. the tara group is putting out propaganda like this one. calling for a tex on german football stadiums. felix no am on the from the cone about the automobile foundation specializes in counterterrorism. metro's. he says radicalized individuals may be the hardest for it to detroit. they can easily buy a light bathroom, for example, a nice but also a gum. and with that they can execute such an attack and it's very hard for

security or forward to use to prevent that. but also tamani towards the dangerous such as those post by hooligans or cyber attacks are also part of security precautions. post stadium stuff, multiple layers of security and are considered to be safe places. but fans zones temporary sites will up to 12000000 people, a likely targets 22000 police offices under cover agents. drones and rolled locates public security plants. and for months, all german boulders had been subject to increased controls to identify and stop potential bad excess, 100 percent. secuity is never possible, but i think that politicians as well as security of 4 was, can works pretty much really good to, to get us. we seen for the last couple of weeks and months, but now it will be put to the test as fence and play us gather, hoping for a safe and fun some of football for all as well. you're all up to date now,

but keep it here of next t w looks at the challenges of being a single mom, an asian countries. for one parent families can still faced stigma. and david levitz from me and the whole team here in berlin. thanks for watching, you can get more news at d, w dot com. see here at the top of the hour, the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand. this is the day i'm in the look. it's covering news events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is this is the weekdays on d, w. i. so i assume one on
