a legitimate target in any future. busy or if it continues its military cooperation with israel, his statement followed israel's announcement that it's military had approved a plan for an operation in southern lebanon. the latest strikes on lebanon is rule, and the militant group has boss, have been trading cross border, a tex almost. they know they have taken steps for the potential for a full scale conflict. israel has approve to what it calls operational plans for an offensive in lebanon. we've made absolutely clear that one way or another diplomatically all through uh, minutes remains off a mold in bold. uh, the north of our country will is really sovereign territory will be made safe for israel's population. israel's people to attend has been. 6 lead to hoss on the

thrall of responded by promising a fight with no risk. they have to wait for us on the ground in the and in the see as we have set this before. and i was say this again today. if the boss and probably still live in on the resistance was fine with our control, with that group and with our to see like the across the board to exchange of so 5 began of to book to but 7 terrorist attack. but how much do you and says small, the full 100 people were killed and level known inside strikes, including dozens of civilians on the east really side, the reports of casualties m onto at least $25.00 soldiers and civilians has, will assess it as a rated 2 days, colleagues, but to do so it on something that has proven difficult to achieve less than $65.00

in gaza. and we can now get a broader perspective on these developments and welcome katrina some more. she's with the amorous policy center. that's an independent think tank with some more, joins us from the jordanian capital amman. welcome to the w. nope. that has the leader has on this role that has ramped up the rhetoric we heard it there. is this just sabre rattling or a threat to be taken very seriously? and we need to also consider that not only know civil law has been raising the rhetoric, but also this rate of government has been raising the restroom when it comes to self stuff. and on, and the hezbollah tax on the know that this read what they're both are trying to do . they're trying to raise the rhetoric to de escalate the situation. basically to raise the alarm of a possible word that they both what would try to avoid it. is they interesting to look that sort of the speech came after

a video footage was released from the b controls, which was a clear message that has been a lot has access there. drones have access to sensitive is ray, the military facilities and locations. and it was a clear message that has the lowest tin committed to rules of engagement and isn't, and is choosing not to escalate which and the same thing with israel when they say that they have a plan to engage in south lebanon. it is not a declaration of what we need to remember, that it is just an approved plan by the military. so both parties are trying to avoid a lot of conflict. mr. law is also trying to create more pressure in as a society on the piece government to reach a ceasefire agreement and also to relieve some of the pressure on drop off. and because up for the m. s a for the have mass members that are operating there's that . okay, so the trees, i'm sorry to jump in there,

but if it's something that raise eyebrows in the a you especially was and as well as the threat to attack cypress, if it opened its airport and basis to is really forced is, is that a realistic possibility a realistic scenario, if those 2 were really to clash the look of the war and gods, that's changed a lot of the dynamics in the middle east. and i don't believe there will be a full confrontation or a tax and sacrifice for example. but it could effect its shipping. it could affect uh its trade uh, ends with the end of them, i think uh and they cannot make relations for the region. um uh if we see the patterns of it on mobilizing its truck seats in groups, it happened on uh they graduated in uh way and if they graduated way. so we saw that with these uh, escalates and escalates. and the, let's see if this by law has escalated himself to other non and uh it any,

and back to my dishes in 8 all cub escalated with time. so we can just assume that this is gonna be like, has been like in gauging with cypress or a docking site because we need to look at the right, the context and the and, and basically the geography of the region and where cyprus fits. and so for me, i read a possibility would be, is the influence seeing or effecting as hyper street and, and shipping? yeah, you mentioned iran, there has, well, a is of course, and part of funded by iran. now you say a full blown war is not in anybody's interest at this point, but things can get out of control. and how would you expect tear on to to behave where there are to be a wider conflict. this is all one and it one is not gonna engage directly in a, in a war with, with the is read because that means if they don't engage us, let me see. united states engages, that means the u. k. will engage. it's will not want to have

a full blown confrontation with as right, and then as long as affecting it's wider project and that, that there is much as we see with the fees, the p. m. s. and a dock and do with the has been law in nothing on it on waiting to mobilize through it's proxies. so we will need to look at the moving pieces in the region and how will eat on use them to support to learn. so for to has been a lot mainly through so i probably would say that is true at all. can see it yet. which means that if you want to engage with has been law and you cannot or, or have like, have a wider conflict with his bundle or you would need to target their supply was, which means you will start get syria. you will talk a title, bringing the region again into a lighter conflict, leaving countries like us joint and again on the front, on the forefront of these region have conflicts and putting our national security as a scenario that many or you are and where we are or trying to avoid that was

katrina some more from the amorous policy center. think tank. thank you so much for your time. thank you. thank you. a quick look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world. russian president vladimir putin has signed a series of deals with his written and these counterpart, including on oil gas and nuclear science. food is in vietnam on the final stop over to nation tor of asia, africa, including a defense packed with north korea. an overnight bar, as of russian miss 1000 drones struck energy infrastructure across 4 regions of ukraine, including a power plant in the countries east. the company running the plant reported serious damage keeps, as russian attacks on the energy infrastructure have knocked out around half of ukraine's energy. production since march. it's a pretty my doctor. he says romania as president has withdrawn his been for the position of nato secretary general n as in door thing, dodge prime minister,

mark richard that clears the last hurdle for richard to become the new head of nieto in norway. in stoughton, virg stands down in october germany state leaders are meeting with the chancellor over migration today. the government is considering new steps to ease the deportation of rejected asylum seekers or migrants or convicted of crimes. is controversial in some parts of germany, but not in the east where the anti immigration alternative for germany is the strongest political party. many newly arrived migrants there, worry, they're no longer welcome and it was dated. so when i came here because of what i want to have a safe life, i have, i mean, what, i'm a 100 percent confident that all the young people here in the center of living conditional in the security situation back home. or however serious there. i wouldn't be able to just stop and speak with you. it's been this processing center is located in the ice in hooking stats to as east lane in the form of east germany,

the research bure fee and election solar bite wing populist alternative for germany or a half the strength and its base and the eastern gym. and states of the promises to cub regular migration. some of the people we spoke to here have lost trust in child life shelves, that his social democratic party and have little hope the government will address their concerns. it's all gone down the drain anyway. why not just give them a chance and let the if do you have a goal, become sink and the low any way, no matter which party the city has had it's 10 and they screwed up. now to if these to and, and now the f d can give it a shot, you can send kind of a lower, you know, with them and it's already been run into the ground yet. and this with didn't have any hope for the f d. what are the voted for them? all the parties have proven time and time again that they were just talking rubbish with all the promises others, the noise in hidden stats,

i'm more welcoming of migrants and refugees coming to germany. yes, this is never one, has the right to leave no question. want to help people to know question people affected by will, but there must be limits even among refugees who have had their asylum applications approved. felons, tough migration stones has gone and some support if that as well. i mean there is never reason to stay here so you can stay here, but anything else you can they can develop that has the gym and then just given by the rules rules, those who abide by the law have nothing to fear and will not be to pull over those who commit a crime will do drugs need to be to push it back to that country club. yeah, i suppose i saw on the bottom facing of record low approval rating. the german government is coming under increasing pressure to act according to the head of the immigration, no authority in the state of brandon. but where the reception center is located,

raising the number of people attention to go some way to cub migration, but he says it will not be enough for missing. obviously been doing it for me. deportations are a mechanism named it was during legal piece. the criminals, serious offenders, people who showed the willingness to integrate and kind of integrate someone's project. so i need to be to pause here because our population cannot be persuaded to let them stay and collect welfare benefits, look sorry for custody. and as the debate continues these refugees and by grants a way to decision by jim and lawmakers about what the future hopes mikaela cruz knows that the chancellor a where that meeting on migration is taking place today. and we talked about what can we expect from the summit of the well, we can certainly expect a lot of statements that germany needs to be most strict in sending people back

who's assigned them. claims have been rejected at this debates has been raging really since 2 weeks ago. a young policeman died of injury sustained in a knife attack by an ask on mine who's asylum claimed was rejected. and now it's come up to the political surface again. also in the light of these european election results that have seen a rise of even the fall, right, alternative for germany, which basically has been gaining political minus here on it's on t migration stones. so what we expect to hear is from the opposition, a call for the town, so to act on what he promised that he would make. so those who violate the new and no longer have of rights to stay, raising the huge practical question of how do you send someone back to afghanistan or syria, if you don't really have to for magic relations with, for instance,

a tyler bond rich dean. and now this talk of pretend to be sending them back to neighboring states, and particularly the states still want to take people back. that's the main reason why many people who are rejected remain in germany even without a permanent title. and you explain that the chancellor is under increasing pressure . do you see him changing his course on migration? so he has already done so by declaring intolerance that he has asked the interior minister to explore ways of sending people back to afghanistan and syria. and that very interior minister has gone on record saying look, what we really need is a european solution on this. and this sounds very familiar because that's also what formats solves the macro kept saying, and then she was let down by her european partners. but now that is joint agreement

within the you a very basic agreement. and yet countries who are particularly under pressure, like it's lee where many of those migrant supplies, they are doing separate deals. italy is doing a deal with albania, a to have a site and claims process that will do the numbers of very limited. and another reference point is of course brisson, which has started sending back that 1st playing with asylum claimants to, to rwanda, which is something that is sizes here as something that is very expensive, not practicable. and the big question is whether anybody will really move beyond political rhetoric and really find illegal avenue at to deport people who essentially are endangering public safety. and it's this growing sentiment that it has become less safe to be out and about in germany. that something what, what i felt also has to demonstrate that this is something he has of the control,

the w as chief political editor, mikaela cruz. now thanks so much i and returning now to our top story mass protest in nairobi against plants tax hikes, we can now speak to our correspondent there felix miranda, felix. we seen violin classes in the streets of nairobi. what have you been witnessing while you've been out reporting today? where a lot of young people have got that in the streets of nature will be in not just a real beat, but all the major cities within the country even is yes that previously people did on the most truthful people who did not come out to demonstrate and i've been with fish on here and they will be in consumer inc. i'm a guy in the very many parts of the country and all the young people are all over the streets. we've seen a some of the shots they might come or plus sometimes i'll show you the most for the better part of the day. shops like these rates would normally be open. i'd be

in the tax bill that they will be getting access to people. it's information on and people are saying that it is against the privacy rights for the canada revenue authority to get into people's mobile. it's, you know, the amount of transaction that they do so that the government can get stuck. see is the cost of living and even charging very basic things like sanitary taos and as much as the government said that they listen to the voice of the people. people are saying they do not want the government to amend the tax being, but instead for the government to drop the tax b as a whole, me well the deadline for passing the bill is at the end of the month. what is next for the protest if it actually does the and i'm not sure felix can hear me. felix, are you still with us? i'm afraid we've lost them. i apologize for that. we will try to get them again
