one greetings to you, our viewers around the world. i'm michael. ok. here's our growing of a wider conflict in the middle east. jordan's foreign minister is to hold talks in iran and made increasing tensions in the region t. ron has been readying its response to the killing of the political leader from us. a group considered a terrace organization by many countries. early on sunday, the lebanese militant group has the fire dozens of rockets into israel in response to a recent is really air strikes. rock and fire lit up the sky in level not as has below lunch barrages of ordinance at neighboring israel. across the border. israel's iron dome system intercepted the rockets this time at least there were no reports of damage. a lot of acrobat observers here, the reason i'm killing of senior hamas and hezbollah leaders could have moved the

needle closer to open conflict between israel and hezbollah. and it's a rainy and backers as tensions ratcheted up long lines are forming that b roots international airport. the us, the u. k. and other governments are urging their citizens to leave lebanon. as soon as possible. the was embassy in lebanon, told it citizens to leave on any ticket available after several airline suspended and canceled flights to be route. yes. i'm very, very scared. but i'll pull myself together and go. i've already booked a ticket. i'm now at the airport. they're saying it's going to escalate. okay, so i'm scared. honestly. i'm very scared to type in them. i'm scared. i won't be able to leave this country of dying here. and yeah, i'm scared. meanwhile and gaza, the violence continues unabated. this was the scene after and is really striking. a

school compo israel claims the school was being used as a from us weapons factory. but local officials say the building was housing thousands displaced by the finding. 6 the after they struck, we came here and found the school and the houses completely destroyed. and they were people who were injured, the size of a wire on the streets behind the school, and that it killed an engine paid so many is really is are calling for an end to the finding and a deal to bring home the hostages still held by him, us and gaza but with negotiations seemingly stalled intentions rising. that's looking increasingly unlikely for now us. and we should mention in israel 2 people have been killed and 2 others heard in a stabbing attack. police say a suspect who they described as

a resident of the westbank, were shot and killed by responding officers. the attack occurred in hold on a city near to leave. a police statement called it a terrorist incident. dw, the middle east analyst or shawnee rouge on is is with me now in the studio. shawnee would start with this stabbing near toby this morning. what do we know? well, when you look at the perpetrator coming from the westbank, this is just one indication of what we've been seeing in the west bank and last weeks. what's been very slowly simmering has been actually boiling in the last couple of months as well as the idea of forces find themselves very much engaged with, you know, major cities in the west and trying to curb the resistance there. and the violence there. and of course, this is just one of the friends that israel is dealing with and a for, for seen where the leader of how much in the, in, in gaza. this is exactly what he wishes for. he wishes to see escalation, who wishes to see more friends that are being opened within, you know,

is really the territories with, with the policy ends that live in israel with the west bank. and of course, everything else that we've been seeing like has while out you're on and so on. so it's very little in no incentive for most of the time to try and talk about the deal. they see their goals actually being met. well, i think anybody watching this will notice that there is been a change in dynamics and talk to correct and there is clearly more than one front that israel is facing right now. indeed beyond. gotcha. and the last week has been very consequential and seems like it was also somewhat planned or if it's very much at a conscious decision that these realize have been making, you know, instead of just trying to maybe wind down, we are approaching almost 10 months to this war soon and you know, need to know, made it to the stage to the, to the capital, asking for more help more support more weapon. and in order to do exactly what he's been doing with it, just doubling down, you know, just just putting more efforts in trying to send out a very clear message of israel is completely fearless, very much, you know,

adamant in, in, in, in pushing strong. it's all front against everybody feeling like maybe in between. you know, the pressure is with his on his bala and, and so on. despite you know, their assumption to israel cannot deal with many fronts of the same time that to be out and his kevin, and just trying to say, we're not afraid we're going strong and it's been a few days now since the death of a has blood commander and of course, a mazda is a political leader. what kind of response are we expecting to see from iran and, or it's approximates from the very fact we haven't seen anything yet, tries to maybe tell us what we might be seeing. and we see that the ranges are being very calculated, very much strategically trying to plan their next move. maybe a joint coordinated move with more of their proxies. they're a allied, you know, military militias around the region like human and the who sees that we've been seeing has by 11. and of course, iraq, syria, yvonne has enough of, you know,

operators around surrounding israel in the region that it can work through. and they will also, we need to keep in mind would happen. april 14th of april was basically the red line that was crossed yvonne for the 1st time in a direct attack against israel. and that was sort of a precedent. it's set and maybe also set a threshold, it's going to be very hard for the wrong to do something less than that. so the expectation is for hundreds of of the cells meet as all sorts of missiles shot at israel, from different ranges and from different uh, geographical locations. probably. oh thanks is always to a d. w middle east expert shawnee roads on you. i'm sure we'll see you soon. i. so let's take a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world as we speak during president bullet document. lubo has called for an end to the nationwide protest and quote, blushes rights group. amnesty international says security forces have killed 13

people during the protest which started last week over economic hardship. police say that 7 people died but denied responsibility in venezuela rival marches in support. of the government and the political opposition have taken place in several cities, including the capital caracas. authorities have ratified nicholas nero's election victory last week, while a growing number of nations including the united states, argentina and peru recognize his opponent as the true winter. at least 4 people have been killed in flash flooding in lance lives in south west china. more than 20 others have been reported missing. nearly a 1000 residents have been evacuated from the struck village in china, 61 prophets. while the ukrainian military says it has sunk a russian submarine during an attack on the port of service, but sylvester pole in russian occupied crimea. keith says it also damage in

advanced air defense system. ukraine confirmed it attacked the motor as of skin air base inside russia, heating ammunition stored, their rushes. defense ministry said that the area was attacked by $55.00 drones, $36.00 of which were destroyed. verified video shows huge explosions at the air field. more than a 100 kilometers from the ukranian border. this comes as russian troops have made sustain gains in the eastern ukrainian region of the nets. ukrainian president of the alarm rigid lensky held the operations in an address on saturday evening. for more, let's say a silly things guess today our gratitude goes out to each of our warranty is on all of those who can now defense industry for striking russian fields, oil refineries and logistics, age effective? no. well, it's most effective when the consequences of the russian war brought back home to

russia. and when the enemy has no place of peace and you'll get 5 territories of our country. for more, let's go to christopher more security expert at the university of portsmouth. christopher recent ukrainian military operations have targeted key russian assets. can you explain the significance of these targets and housing fit into keeps broader military strategy at the moment i would stress that ukrainian strategy is very much to hold the line, the strikes that are taking place all very much in support of that. so what ukraine has been able to do is in many ways truly remarkable. so we're saying it has the strikes against key russian installations, particularly fields, which is having the effects of effectively pushing back the russian air force. that's putting so much pressure on the front lines. i have the moments in addition to this with 2nd key, a tax on oil installations, which is bringing the fights to the russian economy. and we even have use of

a drug and strikers must go today. critically as well, you can examine what's happening in crimea, the pressure that the ukrainians have been able to bring to bad using drones on the box. the fleet has been really significant. and again, it's making the occupation of crime in a truly costly endeavor. costly, indeed, ukrainian presidents loved me. zalinski has emphasized the importance of making sure russia actually feels the consequences of this war. what are the potential risk and benefits of ukraine strategy to strike within russian territory? especially in terms of international support. it was initially you've got to admit that the optics of attacks and within russians, russian territory, that's going to shift the view of the how be engagement is progressing in many ways . so striking and the risk and striking civilians is we get significant consideration when it comes to you know, this perhaps eroding international support. however,

i would be slightly more skeptical. now, one of the aisles i suppose of on conflict is reciprocal city. now if you consider the strikes that richard has been, you know, honestly, pursuing within you crate and then i would stress that you create has quite a lot of space to operate before any kind of international kind of pressure was to follow up on them in your view could resend successful attacks on russian air, defense systems, and naval assets. change the balance of power in the black sea region. most again, these operations are fundamentally positive, and the depth of the demonstration with ukraine is still in the fights. fundamentally, it's not going to alter the texture of the conflict. now is making things immensely costly for richard to continue to operate. and it is showing that russia is taking steps to kind of preserve as high evaluation assets, pulling bucket splits, and removing his samples further and further into rushes into area. but at the end of the day versus seems content to sacrifice massive amounts of resources and

manpower in this world. and in less, that fundamentally changes. then we're not going to see a shift and the fundamental nature of the, the conflict. christopher ro, ukraine has been targeting russian assets, but moscow keeps making gains in the done net screeching. just moments ago. russia confirmed it has captured a village in the eastern ukraine. what might be the next steps for both sides in this conflict? again, to begin with the ukranian side. unfortunately, i'm moving, there's very little they can do other than hold the line. now again, they are doing very well of this, but from the american suite, they do not have the resources to bounce an offensive or we take territory. i will stress that from the incredibly difficult circumstances. what they were treating is remarkable. like they all being pushed back, but they have fundamentally, there's not been a break through that thing. so a resource back which again, that key object about the movement is to hold the line in terms of what rush

reciting to achieve. it looks like that tried to consolidate power within the next reason, agencies, more territory. and ultimately that going to be arguing, you know, ukrainian logistical hubs that are in close proximity to the front lines at the moment. now they can seize a number of key locations with a new crane. they would have a critical advantage. got it. that's a christopher more security expert at the university of portsmouth many. thanks you sir. pleasure. thank you so much. i now to the parents olympics were american gymnast simone biles, one her 3rd olympic gold. with the women's vault title biles claimed a comfortable victory over brazil's rebecca and got a cheap sword down the runway. and nailed her signatures skilled the bylaws to before sticking her easier. vault a skill which is harder than maybe you can ask for the best. she now has 10 olympic metals,
