troops hold off attacks by russian forces in the east and don bass region president thought him is the landscape condemned moscow's tactics as crazy and the new space race. why several nations are competing for put humans back on the moon. scientists believe it could be a gateway to miles and beyond. ah, i'm really mohammed welcome to the program. israel and lebanon have ended a long standing dispute over their shared maritime border. the 2 countries are so formerly at all, so lead a signed an agreement separately, both nations hope to benefit from offshore gas extraction within the formerly this disputed areas. now, you as president joe biden has called the deal historic d w, as tanya kramer explains what the argument was about the mediterranean sea,

off the coast between israel and lebanon, these fair contested waters. both countries have long been locked in dispute over where the maritime borders lies. behind the scenes, negotiations have gone on for several years. now, israel and lebanon have agreed on a maritime borders did, mediated by the united states. this grim, sham is agreement, strengthens israel security and our freedom of action against has bla and the threats to our north. there's rare consensus in the security establishment regarding the necessity of this agreement. the dispute is about a relatively small tri unger shaped area with each side claiming their part as exclusive economic zone. the areas expected to be rich in offshore gas, israel, and live an unhappy, long history of conflict. the 2 countries for the war in 2006 and a half been many security incidents between israel and the lebanese. she i'd minute

and group hesper law since parts of the countries land border. the blue line a dom occasion lined by the u. n. is also disputed whether the maritime borders dio, could be a step towards white. a peace agreement is unclear, but the deal paved the way to more gus exploration a potentially economic benefit for both countries. well, i spoke to our correspondence in the region, rebecca, written in jerusalem and uh how much i take in a root. it told me how the deal is being viewed there overhead, as we heard there this deal has bay more than a decade in the making their vain. numerous rounds of negotiations broken by the u . s. as we just heard that have all been unsuccessful until a couple of weeks ago when the 2 sides finally did reach that agreement, that deal now has been signed by the lebanese side and the israel side ending more than a decade of conflict over this disputed region. is being held as

a huge moment, a huge success by both sides, bye, but as a historic moment. in fact, i mean, let's not forget that these 2 sides as we just heard in that report, have a, you know, diplomatic ties. they're, they're technically still at war and lebanon doesn't even recognize israel as a sovereign country. so for a deal like these to be agreed between those 2 sides is really being held as a historic moment. now, for israel, for it's part a, it's going to benefit greatly both politically and diplomatically, but more economically. and of course with security guarantees as well. israel has, for a long time, wanted to drill the gas that it knows are in those fields that are on what it is argued is on its side of the maritime border. but it's been it under threat by his bill or the iran backed group in lebanon. saying that if they were to go ahead and take oil from those fields or a gas from those fields before any deal was struck that his blood would attack,

they can now go ahead and do that. in fact, they have been doing it yesterday and energy and the company that has been drilling on the israeli side said that the gas is flowing and that it will be able to be even delivered to its partners within the coming days, which will be met very fondly from european leaders who are looking to fill the gap that left behind by turning off the tap from the russia invasion in ukraine. all right, thank you, rebecca. let's a pivot of it now to mom at gta in beirut. how is the lebanon seeing the steel helmet? well, live on and sees it from a very different perspective this morning. the beneath president, michelle said that the agreement is purely technical and does not have any political implications. and does that, does not paved a way to normalization of relations with israel. the 2 states are still technically ex war, however, that the agreement is expected to being stability to the area as it moves an

element of potential conflict between israel and the non. mainly the iranian back beneath hezbollah. d u. s. broker, broker deal. it opens the way for shore energy exploration. therefore, liberties officials are hoping the disagreement that helps elevate lebanon's economic crisis. the country has been in economy free for, for 3 years now, and explanation of hydrocarbons. hydrocarbons is a huge deal for lebanon as a significant discovery could help ease the countries just ling financial and economic crisis. that is moments in their route. and rebecca protests in jerusalem, thank you both and your friends president, let me as the lensky says, his forces holding out against russian attacks in the eastern don bass region. it says, as strikes, have destroyed nearly a 3rd of ukraine's energy infrastructure and condemned the kremlin tactics as crazy

recruiting prisoners from russian jails to fight in ukraine. now ukrainian soldiers on the front lines say these prisoners are being used as bait. a tactic presidency . lensky has described as crazy. but the majority of notice is called one time use . the main task of these one you soldiers is to come towards us and find out our position. if they are lucky, they will stay alive if not, they die. despite the intense fighting ukrainian troops are said to be holding on, but months of constant bombardment are taking their toll and the russian offensive shows no sign of slowing down. let's take a look at the mother stories making news around the world. holland has dismantled for more communist era monuments to red army soldiers who fell while fighting. not the german troops is part of efforts to remove symbols of moscow's post world war 2

. there is as much water as in germany's largest lake up on the at any time or over the next few years. and the outpost is set to be built in the lunar all bit, the so called luna gateway. nasa will build it with canada, europe, and japan. it wants to involve the private sector more than before. the new space station will serve as a research platform. and later as a base for mand flights to the moon, or on where it is all met, should make it possible to see the far side of the moon and the south pole, and to have constant radio contact with earth nights on the moon. last for 14 earth days, at the temperatures dropped to 160 degrees celsius below 0. that's a major hurdle for long term human missions. but there are craters at the south

pole with rims that are almost always in sunlight. nasa wants to build a lunar station and such a crater, the so called artemus base camp are initially astronaut will land in transport craft, which will also serve as their accommodation during their short stays. to explore the surrounding terrain in vehicles. ah, with each mission the lunar base should become more comfortable. whatever spacecraft bring the equipment and robots will build the infrastructure up to for astronauts will work here for up to 2 months at a time. the 1st will also serve as a springboard for a new mission human voyages to mars. india's cricket board has announced an equal pay policy. officials have decided
