the the, this is dw use lie from berlin, tensions rising between sides, korea and russia after vladimir, who consigned to a new defense deal with the north korean leader, kim jong on. sole says it's new care arm to neighbor could be emboldened by the pact closer to a threat to pace in the reach. also coming up israel strategy and gaza under fire from within and his rating ministry spokesman publicly challenges the government's more aims. questioning whether homicide can ever be defeated military and with the european football championship. in full swing, germany's transport system struggles to cope delays and constellations the full

funds, doubting germany's reputation for efficiency. the problem finding the us welcome to the program says korea has condemned a defense pact between russia and north korea assigned to. earlier this week, it's foreign ministry called it a threat to peace and stability on the korean peninsula. so someone rushes ambassador to discuss its concerns. while the details of the military packed are still on tier, south korea is worried. a code encourage north korean aggression. and in response so announced it was considering sending weapons to ukraine to support its defense against russia. as well earlier we spoke to dr. john nelson right from the center

for geo politics at cambridge university. and we asked him have so is interpreting a warning by vladimir pavement who said, supporting ukraine would be a very big mistake. but i think what the russian leader is trying to say is that if the, the south koreans were minded to provide the best time legal support to ukraine, i supported the phones, bonds, munitions turn ons, ukraine's ability to resist the russian depression. but that would be seen as a red line from the russian perspective and a normal this, a real critical question is, what does the end of security cooperation between moscow and young young really it might have to you're a cool that north korea has been seeking to develop a satellite technology capabilities unable to have satellite launch just a few weeks ago. but the sense is that in return for newest careers, provision of munitions and military support to russia in fighting the war and ukraine, the russians might be minded to provide that critical technology. and of course,

the language of this new security, this comprehensive strategic agreement between the 2 countries has alonzo as career because they fear the amounts to something even time demand to the full volume, actual lines. that's certainly what the north koreans are saying. rush and spend a little bit more circumspect. but if you look at the language of the new agreement, it's, it's a great commitment on both sides to come to the assistance of the new partner with the media, despite the very, very quickly event of an attack on either one of the signatories to that was dr. john nelson right from the center for geo politics, that crank cambridge university, that at least 25 people have been killed and another 50 wounded buying is ready strongly gonna compet for displaced people in their rafa in southern gas or that's according to the home us lead health officials, relatives of those killed in the attacks. it is ready for us as far it again

killing people, coming out of their tents. now israel is mandatory said the incident is under review, and there is no indication a strike was carried out by the israel defense forces while after 8 and a half months of war in guys that these ready to governments still says it plans to destroy thomas. but in an interview with israel's channel, 13 broadcaster, the spokes person of the is really army rear. admiral daniel gary said thomas cannot be destroyed, has come on us is an idea. who are the things we can eliminate? how mazda is wrong? i am not referring to the alternatives, the political action alone has to decide on that was a use. well, defense forces will implemented. but this business of destroying hama is simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public. if we don't bring something else to guns, and then at the end of the day, we will get home us if you want me to come in a coma. well, how mazda is classified as a terrorist group by many western countries. in addition to it's mandatory wing,

it's govern the guys us since 2007 and is a political force as well. so let's take a look at what's left of the group and the danger. it could still post the israel thomas fighters firing rockets at israel from southern lebanon, where it cooperates with other militant groups. error rate alarms are frequent in tel aviv, well within those rockets range. this is something israel's military wanted to stop with its war in gaza. it's still happening. there are no precise independently verified figures available about from us, the strength in numbers of fighters for it stops of weapons. israel estimates that how much had more than $30000.00 fighters at the time of its terror attacks on october 7th, last year. and the between 12 and 14000 have been killed and fighting since then. however, how must may be able to fill its ranks with new recruits quickly. israel has also

seen stores of weaponry, putting rocket monsters, missiles and guns, and it's really military analyst told dw, earlier this year, that 70 to 80 percent of homos is arsenal had been captured or destroyed. but about half of the masses tunnels are estimated to still be intact, allowing the group to fide, regroup, and potentially re arm itself through the smuggling network. then there's the group's leadership, which has largely survived the. yeah, yeah, seen was the groups leader and gaza still runs operations from hiding the mouse and the groups and political leader is male hand yeah, isn't katara the leader of the military wing mohammed dave is thought to be hiding and goes as well. is real, did killed dave, deputy marwan isa, but that is the closest that's come to taking out the senior leadership, as israel reckons with a war that could go on for months to come pressure for us. these fires growing,

otherwise it's forces may be overstretched unless able to react to other threats. are in david miller is a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace. we asked him what he makes of adf, adf, spokes person, daniel gary statement. i mean, i, me and local level, i think it reflects what is really intelligence community and senior id. officials have police in quite some time and it brings to mind kissinger's. quit the 1969 and i need to be a now more and the grow we is. it does not lose the conventional army correctional military news if it does not. and the reality is yes, use or at least have done previous damage to a masses organize military structure is command control. it's a rocket launch facilities, it's laboratories. but the reality is, how much will maintain a military capacity, maybe 10 to 15000 fighters,

and it will endure either as an insurgency or alternatively, given the weakness of the palestinian national move. and specifically the cost in, in the dougherty. it will remain a potent force able to influence politics and gaza, either through innovation, co optation or but do you think that is just becoming clear to the idea at this stage at the start of israel's invasion of gaza after the october 7th, the terror attacks experts did warn, essentially, henri's point that i'm off as an idea that can't just be stamped out by killing it . supporters. so why do you think we are hearing this from him now? i guess i think after almost 9 months and it's hard to believe next month because not funding this war. the idea of id, if not the political establishment mister nature y'all. is there anything governor during most of the fight? they understand how difficult it is for the ibm to operate band or stand it every

time there's a strike, which was worth a mass casualty event said to wherever it is legitimacy, particularly in the united states. but it in europe and other places as well. and i understand that the only way to if, if in fact, it's even possible to beat us, is treated and alternative structure. an alternative set of governing principles to see, to facilitate security and prosperity which doesn't, has lacked under a mazda is real since 2007 occurred government, miserable simply has no objection of engaging in the house, or in the, in the 40 or creating any sort of hope in a form of opponents arise in to, to the south rented to states for example. so i think by and large, the idea is that breaking select the government,

but making it quite clear and i think it will become an effective pressure point. i suspect in the days and months they had a minute and you know, relevant to your think there is a part of prime minister netanyahu that also understands this and understands what the id spoke person is saying here it is. yeah, absolutely no doubt, except the prime minister, not a long discovery prime minister in history of the state of israel, ki domestic constituency, using visually differentials. it's number one, his right wing coalition and the maintenance. uh, he's prime minister because if he was no longer as prime minister, we should have elections of workings were held in the uh, today. most probably mr. know to know would not be able to form a government and on trial forever for an breach of dressed injury. some district court you faces the prospects of the convention. or alternatively, we brought a bargain to avoid jail time, which would mean the end of his political career. so no staying afloat,

came catering to the right wing. it seems to be his uh, his m o n g and the cost of insurance on july 25th. if you makes it to that date, it actually does a resume again until 2 weeks before the american washington, he'd be in a position then as prime minister train of judgment out here, the next president of the united states is going to be. and just as jack discarding, i suspect bar in some event that we can define or for see with respect to regional medical future, we're probably talking sometime next year. those are and david men are speaking to my colleagues, sir richardson earlier. now moving on, the european football championship is in full swing here in germany with funds flocking to stadiums from across europe and beyond. but the country is transport infrastructure, particularly it's trained network, which in recent years has struggled with punctuality. has led many to question

whether germany deserves its international reputation for efficiency or reporter emily gorgine joined the crowds to get their opinions. it's 2 o'clock on thursday, i'm done. financial hub has turned into a dime for both phones. i and a few hours tournaments favorite things in denmark, and yet most fear is expected off in albany and lot of people were so friendly, having a great time. not everyone's been so nice to us. yeah, it's been great. bobby is in full swing and i'm like i said, these guys had that need to worry about the beer running out. but the other big question for fans is tons of these infrastructure type. thousands of sounds were left waiting was when england met serbia and galvan church and leading to shop criticism of organization and damaging demi's reputation for efficiency.

being absolutely meant the obviously the goals in cook and the other day todd hall was a bit ribbon slide a bit robust was very robust. well it's, you know, i'm absolute. no. what man was, none of them been on so it's not a single try. it has been on solar, the kick off is approaching and the funds begin making the way to the stadium. let's see whether we can guess in farms and residents and like have to squeeze. but the train wouldn't move. where hits without fast delays. and only after very swear, 315 minutes. wait, the train rumbles on your impress so far. i'm not a toll being to be. every wilcox is known to you. i went to cust. uh, and this has been the was tournament in terms of organization for a long time. no, i can remember one step away from the stadium. the train stops again. so the train just for everyone out and that goes out to the gym and efficiency is very

disappointing. not nothing else than that. that's raise up at the denmark. it's on the radar. to everyone's surprise, the trains don't continue so long. i need a few minutes late to it arrives at the stadium. how do you feel now that you've actually made it to the stadium hub, so happy we're going to win this match tonight. you know, i know you're telling us about this. i don't know. there's, which turns out neither of them was right, but at least they made it to the match in time. all right, you are up to date of max is raf asking why i'll pena has more mercedes benz is per capita than anywhere else in the world. that's after a short break and don't forget there's plenty more news and information on our

website, the www dot. com. and you can also follow us on our social media. kinds or handle is dw news on popular phone and e s for me on the entire team here in berlin, watching take care. and i'll see you again at the top of the next step, the dream of revolution dictates estimate as the was closed. that changed my life. the people hoped for a sara society. i imagined we would change the world. tens of thousands of messages from all over the world wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream. it was simply a spirit of optimism where we encouraged each other and so many things were.
