i'm quite richardson. thank you so much for joining us. fears of an escalation and fighting along the israel 11 on board are following saturdays, rocket strike on the is really occupied a goal on heights. at least 12 children and teenagers were killed and does is wounded. after a rocket hit a football field and a drew's community, israel's lemay has the law for the attack, but they are run back to militant group denies any involvement. the funeral procession, the streets of most of this 1000 strong. the rockets strike 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 golan heights. it's a shock of the and that's no real cause we all know the trash has been children

like who are killed anywhere else in the country. oh no. then the in this one killed himself in the all the children killed him. gone on children. other no, mean, precious and, and i'm a human being, i really my lives, the how you say tranquillity for advice. are you frustrated? i know that we look to so strongly assigned a deal and model this guy end up with something come out today. if we don't want to dine in the future, launching them. despite regular cross border hostilities has bullet denies attacking the football pitch where the victims were playing. but israel's army chief says they have evidence proving otherwise. they'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 wants to kill civilians on spit out. you know, 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. israel has vowed to strike back heart against has the law. i asked military analyst frank lead, which what that could 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. i mean the scaling, the intensity of his way the arrow tax, must be remember the last, the potion. on the other hand, all these way to these, what are the on pauses on, deployed to the north of no tacit. told that if i short notice, they could, they could conduct major operations in slick and nothing to that would be disastrous and catastrophic hunting for oral science. and also it's known as military analyst to frank language of speaking to me earlier. turning out to some other news. a coalition of separate tests have claimed a major victory over molly's army and its allies from the russian wagner mercenary group. they say dozens of soldiers and buckner mercenaries were killed or captured in it. to the watchin, you are the algerian border. molly's military leaders vowed to retake territory from separatists and g. had us,

after seizing power in cruise in 20202021. they ordered french forces and un peacekeepers to leave the country and have turned to russian mercenaries to help counter the threat posed by in search and quit. let's hear more on this from or the last thing i had of the so how original program at the conrad at an hour foundation in molly, thank you so much for joining us. first of all, i'd like to ask what this incident tells us about the security situation in northern molly? so yeah, it shows that the impact of the russians having it's very limited indefinitely. the type like the, you know, one best solution to molly's inside and security problems, but in the end, just as powerless at the french route to, to impose so solid t on a boss stretch off that way. even the government is not really able to, you know, control the territory. and we should say that molly's military government denies

that wagner mercenaries are involved in direct combat. could you spell out for us a little bit more exactly what the role has been? of a wagner mercenaries in molly? yeah, they have been fighting alongside the money now. i mean, definitely also training them. molly bought more than 30 helicopters and to fight the objects from russia. but any pilots and technicians for them, that's one of the role that the brushing less than or is doing. but they also actively involved in and come back date. it wouldn't have been able to take this sip of tea di, which is another 15 north east on molly without the head of seeds the russian must . and mary's so now the, we should put this into context of the french army. a completed is withdrawal from molly in 2022. when we know un peacekeepers left last year. how has the security situation in malia changed since then?

it, i mean, it didn't call ups. everybody was kind of expecting that to everything the down does. this hasn't happened, the money in the army has sofa been able to keep more or less control, often of northern molly. they bought a lot of drones from, from cherokee, other countries and that after the russian. so that way able to monitor the space a bit better. i would say, i'm not so good that it's like taking a safety elective of trying to do now when they are facing these different systems that they've chosen, the limits of malia and what the, the russian most a nurse can do with with the last. but the security test is this, despite, or the dispatcher know, relatively stable, hasn't really boston since the french and the again, false as left. so given what you suggest is, is the inability of the wagner mercenaries to, to make a huge difference to the security situation. are there other groups that the molly and who is working with closely to try to regain control of territory that from

insurgence groups? and no, i mean, you haven't written molly, maybe 10021200 russians compatible, more than 5000 french and the p time. so that shows that's its limits of what, what they can achieve. i don't think molly is trying to contract other groups as well. they might work with suppressed as local groups to, you know, due to corporate for them, but to actively fighting. i'm only ralph, see the russians of the as a partner role. but thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today. that as of the last thing had a visa, how regional program at the conrad at in our foundation in molly, i appreciate your time i or turning to venezuela. now, where voting is underway in the countries most closely for election in decades. president nicholas, my daughter is facing a close race against political newcomer, and former diplomat and window gonzales. the head of

a couple ition of venezuela's off position parties. the election presents the biggest challenge yet to a quarter century of socialist party, full 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 as they were 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 was seeking a ton 6 year term. also, gast has ballot. at the bowling station in caracas. jo, showing me while 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 ask them to do real from office. and did of a respite from the economic crises most in, even today, more than ever, venezuelans are showing that we one nation and they see the blue. they look at the democratic spirit of 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 how they see 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? feminists are growing. if i'm a do real loses, it's good and 25 years of social, the screwed in venezuela. to have these correspondence, all scars bankers in caracas. he tells me what 11 years of my durable have done to venezuela a yeah, i would still a bit further than that because the regina has been empowered 25 years starting with will try to send in that time we have seen that as while ago from the richest country in the region to the pores, but in the last 11 years things have gone from bad to worse mass protest in 2014 in 2017. we sold in a much more repressive government underneath. oh, that's my daughter. weird pending international investigations of crimes against humanity and human rights violations. but it has been the worst name,

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 a consecutive years of hyper inflation in a 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 voter 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 most of the industries in band, many of the opposition candidates just like this time uh, but through negotiations, international pressure and with due credit to my people, you know, my title 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 let him know that. so we have also seeing the military for serving the piece and responding accordingly. and so man, so violence and 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. uh well, the vision is to rebuild that as well from the ground up. that means working with communities at the base level to get things running into it cannot make we, the officers on proposals to open markets and home things waiting. ones that have left will return hydra united with their families. there's a strong push to free political prisoners and to begin the process of amnesty and

traditional justice to regain government institutions that are currently loyal to the g. thank you so much for that update that is dwone oscar. thank you very much. appreciate your time. to just before we go, a quick reminder of our top stories at best. our fears are growing of a wider war in the middle east after israel's air force struck hezbollah target and loved overnights. it was in retaliation for a rocket attack on a roof town in israel occupied at full on heights and killed the 12 children and teenagers. israel blamed has the law for that, but the militant group has denied involvement. and voting is underway and venezuela's most closely fault election and decades president because that's my judo speaking, a 3rd term in office, but facing a significant challenge. criminal position coalition, voters are most concerned about a prolonged economic crisis, which is driven millions of people from the country. that is, up to date,
