a man your own mccrory's honored for promoting a new vision for europe accepting germany's charlemagne prize he said the time to strengthen europe is now. on the same kenya killing dozens on what witnesses have described as a wall of water east african countries reeling from weeks of catastrophic flooding d.w. news has been speaking with survivors who have lost everything. i'm still gail welcome to the program international calls for restraint talk growing as israel and iran face the most serious military confrontation for years israeli airstrikes if you radian targets across syria overnight sparking fears of a wider conflict breaking out in the region these images released by the syrian military are said to show the aircraft if i. this firing over the capital damascus

israel says it hit nearly all of iran's military infrastructure in syria responds to what he says were iranian rocket attacks on israeli positions in the israeli occupied golan heights if true it would be the first time iranian forces have fired rockets at israeli held territory. correspondent is that monitoring developments from neighboring beirut welcome and show israel says it was responding to an iranian attack on golan heights why would iran target that area. but the reason iran would do target cool on the ice is because going on this occupied territory it was occupied by israel in the sixty nine hundred sixty seven war israel has since an extent even though the international community does not recognize so essentially iran is saying that we're not targeting israel we're targeting occupied territory. and that sort of is a measured response i'd say which means that iran there's no one just sent

a very strong message but a measured message there because this is essentially is largely believed to be revenge for the seventy dominance who were killed last month when israeli struck an iranian base in syria so has iran confirmed that d.v. indeed launch those missiles. they actually have been to the contrary they have said that they have not lost any slides and this is all a good sign it's propaganda which means the onus is now on the israelis to prove as they say that these were only in strikes indeed though i have to here add that on monday the army chief did in our mince words see that iran will respond and our will seek its revenge regarding the incident mentioned earlier also the iranian parliament the defense committee says that only iranian advisors on the ground nor fighters which is a little strange because this is iran's proxy they are on the ground that possibly

next several fighters of several militia militias who been trained by the hezbollah are in this area. on the part which is still under syrian control so these are all of fighters funded and trained by either the i r g c the revolutionary guard all his blood which has been trained by our g.c. so this certainly have a huge presence on the ground and we know that israel has been carrying out strikes on iranian targets in syria for several weeks this is clearly a significant escalation how close are they to all out war. where you know there's always that fear and now with this escalation in. recent subsidy. sources in both iran and israel say that they don't want it to escalate any further they don't want a full fledged war so maybe the better sense will prevail and we will not have a wider conflict nor how can one not have

a wider conflict the question is that israel has drawn a red nine that they don't want to iranians they don't want to run in assets on the ground in syria they don't want iran to expensive and iran has not done anything or said anything to suggest that they will back off so eventually you really are looking at a serious confrontation it may happen now it may happen later. in beirut thank you so much for joining the dover. the governments of russia and germany have criticised the escalating tensions in the middle east and underlined their intention to preserve the iran nuclear deal despite america's withdrawal welcoming is german counterpart on his first visit to moscow russian foreign minister sergey lavrov stressed that the remaining signatures to the deal should discuss how best to keep it alive heiko mass expressed of germany's hope that russia would use its close ties to iran to convince them to stick with the deal he then went on to outline some of the issues still damaging relations between

germany and russia. this is that the should fly already mentioned some critical issues this republic case for example or the cyber attack that targeted the german ministry of foreign affairs much indicates that attack might have been conducted from russian territory as it gets. you know what it's like times over this i believe that an open and honest dialogue is key for a solid partnership we have to be able to figure out if we are still sticking to the same rules. now dates and venue for the much signaled summit between us president and donald us president donald trump and north korea's leader kim jong un has been announced it will take place on the twelfth of june in singapore was the trumpet tweeted the announcement shortly after welcoming home three americans who've been released from detention in north korea he described their release as a sign of goodwill from pyongyang. it was nearly three in the morning but the u.s.
