the, the, you're watching the, the, you know, it was coming to live from berlin. fears are growing of a wider war in the middle east after israel accuses has full of a, definitely a task on the golan heights. is really air force as it struck hezbollah, target, and 11 on overnight. following those surprise, retaliation for a rocket attack on a roof town, they killed 12, children, and teenagers. also coming up on our show state venezuelans boat and a tightly contested presidential election with many people fed up with continual economic crises and seeking change. president nicole, that's my daughter's face of the biggest challenge to socialists will investigate

the i'm clear, richardson welcome fears are rolling of an escalation and the fighting along the israel 11 on board are following saturdays. dudley rockets strike on the is rarely occupied. go on heights, at least at 12 children and teenagers were killed and dozens wounded in the incident after rockets at a football field in a drew's community. as well as lemay has the law for the attack. but the iran, fax, militant group, denies any involvement. the funeral procession. the streets of most of shows was 1000 strong. the rocket strikes that killed 12 people on a soccer field was the deadliest attack in months. since then, exchanges a fire with the lebanese militant group. hezbollah have escalated for the local

drew's community in the israel occupied. go on heights, it's a shock and that no, no you cause we all know precious even children like who are killed anywhere else in the country. oh, no. the in the, in the so i'm killing himself in love in the all the children killed him. gone on children, other no, mean, precious. and i'm human being, i really my lives, the how you see tranquillity, who advice for you, pressure level studies, we look to. so right now, find the deal and model this guy and up with someone come out and say if we don't want to dine thing the fuel long thing them. despite regular cross border hostilities, hezbollah denies attacking the football pitch where the victims were playing. but israel's army chief says they have evidence proving otherwise. we'll look at the fifty's, but this is the real cause. the who have a thought stroke is there like these into an, an area that i want just to kill civilians once that out. and what i mean is really

defense forces reacted just hours later. they say this footage shows air strikes against hezbollah, military targets in southern and central 11 on the road. we are a significantly increasing already in the next stage of flight in the middle off on at the same time we are fighting and got as we are also able to tackle very far away towards taking this route. that will be more challenging. i mean, we will increase the readiness, we will actually go to the doc 11 on has warned that a significant attack by israel would lead to a regional war. let's get some context on this from military analyst frank language . frank, good to see you. almost a day later we still got conflicting accounts about what has happened to your as well. say it has evidence that has block carried out the attack, but as the lot denying any involvement. when you look at this case, could you talk us through which scenarios that seem likely a good evening,

sir. there are a number of strange issues about this, this attack. first of all, as you saw in the report, is the drew is community that received that 2nd mix in the golan heights. and the delano say color tongue this area inside and it's internationally syrian territory . similarly, on the it's really side. it's difficult to say any alternative done this thing has blood talk, the only possible of talking to the any other possible explanation i can think of. it's a non to cost me, so i'm going arrive, but i don't think not squares with the evidence we see. so i can see the play pops, a rogue group or some full of accidental targeting. either way we see a mass casualty event, the possibility now of the, of some degree of escalation. as i said, it is the 1st time that hezbollah has the night and the talk of the many hundreds of attacks they made on israel over the past few months, which, which set something, i suppose. it's a mistake, no question about it. as i say,

either way is real, has vowed to strike back heart against has the law. what do you expect? but this might look like, or what do you sold on some data, some strikes or some footage of the strikes, and that's been going on now that kind of activity for the last uh, nearly a year, isn't it now 9 months or so? and you started the source of told me that they have calles about a quarter of senior hasbrook has been a leadership and strikes like that. so the kind of escalation we're likely to see, i think is not most escalation. we don't, i don't think we're going to see a huge or wrapped up in a simple reason that it's a night assigned to interest. i don't night, aside with such a will have support. but what we will see is an increase of rhetoric and in the scaling, the intensity of his way, the arrow tax must be remember the last a potion. on the other hand, all these way to these, what are the on forces on deployed to the north of no tacit told that they buy short notice. they could, they could conduct major operations in slick and nothing to that would be

disastrous and catastrophic looking for oral science and all sorts of notes. so if it is and neither side and trust, as you say, i'm curious why you think we are now in response to this specific attack? seeing israel valley such as quick and, and hard retaliation against has the law. i know they'll be a quick and hard retaliation, but i don't think it will take the fall and that's the kind of attack we saw and, and the other and essentially in 2006 with 4 um and divisions out into the country . i love it and so i always could certainly do that. but we'll see there's an increase in the entire intensity on the tax on pre or pre pre targeted or pre identified targets such as c'mon does. and most importantly miss are launching sites and we have to remember these ladies have been identified. the site's not for, for nearly about 5015 years, that's fully aware of what many of them off. and i made the threat posed by his police and the 50000 or search troops that they have well trained and experienced that they all, it's a miss solve for 2nd deployed,

which is why it is acknowledged that would cause major casualties. it is right what to be deployed, but it's essentially a one shot deal that has blonde. they know that to. so yeah, we'll see it continuing to talk some high value targets on miss all sides. but no. so i think a huge intervention such as a con, we see the other the central well thank you. as always for your analysis, that is military analyst. frank language is speaking to me, turning out some other news. voting is underway in venezuela, in the countries most closely for election in decades. presidents and because my daughter is facing a close race against political newcomer and former diplomats and window gonzales, the head of a coalition of venezuela's opposition parties. and the election presents the biggest challenge yet to nicholas. my daughter is quarter century of socialist party rule. venezuelans around the bones. many lining the hours before the centers even opened. the face of

choice between income and nicholas monroe and his tribal edmondo gonzales. many here are desperate for change. this is somebody here today is a real electro, a celebration because the citizens have decided to take the reins of this country into a set the rights. this is as far as we have come, we've had enough and will not accept the situation anymore. madura who is seeking a could 6 year term also gas has ballot at the bowling station in caracas. joe, showing me what else i am nicholas my doodle. models were president of the people he and i recognize and will recognize the electro media, the, the official bulletins rope and i will ensure that they are respect that it gets sorted fits in the mind. taking one would do role is a bundled gonzales, his main rival, and

a form would diplomats. minivan has been ends up spinning their hopes on to him to oust window from office, and deliver respite from the economic crises. most any time today, more than ever, venezuelans are showing that we one nationwide and they see the blue. they look at the democratic spirit, venezuelans is today more alive than ever. the only important news is the millions, the venezuelan says, throughout the country, exercising their rights to the side sandals. so that a to obviously the tensions a high as opinion folds indicate the possible loss from a do role who has a highly questionable human rights record. and has threatened violence if you lose is would most international observers bod, concerns about the elections fan as are growing. if i'm a do real loses. it's good and 25 years of socially screwed in venezuela.

dw correspondent aust gosh, link r as in car back us covering the election for us. let's just start by getting a sense of what 11 years of my daughter will have done to venezuela. so yeah, i would still a bit farther than that because regina has been in power 25 years starting with charles. and in that time we have seen that as while ago from the richest country in the region to the pause. but in the last 11 years, things have gone from bad to worse mass protest in 20142017. we sold in a much more repressive government underneath the width pending international investigations of crimes against humanity and human rights violations. but it has been that the worst news living conditions and lack of opportunity that has led almost 8000000, but his way was to leave the country and the largest migration, the region that has ever seen. we are just getting out of 8 consecutive years of hybrid inflation in the country without any ongoing worse. so correction is rampant,

and the military still show support for my daughter. so despite all this, there is still a tight grip on power. and we've seen long lines outside the polling stations today . how important is vote or turn out to the outcome of the selection as well. yeah, definitely. voter turnout is key to make these elections different from uh before from 2018 back then many political parties boycotted the elections because my models of industry sion band. many of the opposition candidates jumped like this time. but through negotiations, international pressure and with due credit to my people, you know, my child is perseverance. this election will be very difficult to steal. when so many people are going out to vote, defending opposition witnesses and will re centers and let not living there that still. we have also seeing the military for serving the piece and responding accordingly and some acts of violence and the regularities. however,

something small is predictable, and antonio withdrawal council doesn't give their results. we will not know for sure what the outcome of this election will be. also tell us a little bit more about the off position here and their vision for the future event as well a well, the vision is to rebuild them as well from the ground up. that means working with communities at the base level to get things running into uh, economical way, the officers and proposals to open markets and home things way ones that have left what we turn hedge were united with their families. there's a strong push to free political prisoners and to begin the process of amnesty and traditional justice to we gain government institutions that are currently loyal to the g. thank you so much for that update that is data is oscar. thank you very much . appreciate your time of
