that israel's enemies would co pay the price. that's after more than 30 rockets crossed the border from lebanon into northern israel on thursday. israel's response to a barrage of rockets from neighboring lebanon came after midnight. the sky line of garza city lighting up. not long after the israeli army confirmed that it was carrying out as strikes in the territory. the may that he said it struck 4 sites belonging to the palestinian militant group, hamas. the strikes came off to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu convened the secuity meeting to discuss how to respond to thursdays, rockets attack from lebanon, the biggest in 17 years. marcella the quote on regarding the aggression against us on the front, then we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price of any act of aggression when we can. our enemies will discover again that up moments of truth is

the citizens of israel, stant, united and unified and back the actions of the israeli army and the other security services to defend our country. and our people learn while we were like that made these rarely millage. he said 34 rockets were launched from lebanon, of which 25 went to separated by it's i and i am anti missile system. with the remains of one of them landing here in the village of foss, suits her glacier, the lebanese border, damaging a car. israel has pointed the finger at palestinian militants for the attack, which comes at a time of rising tensions. after his ready police raided the al axa mosque, interview slim on wednesday is lamps, 3rd holiest site. authority said they were forced to enter the complex to remove people. they describe as riotous palestinians and their support is acute israel, of using excessive force against worshippers. following an emergency session at the

un security council on thursday night diplomat surged all sides to short restraints . ah, members were clearly united in the need for de escalation and common region. this is a whole month for all 3 religions. escalation is not in anybody's interest in the region, and i think you will see that the counselor sees of his master in the coming period as well as capital. but there is little signs so far of any d escalation with these rails as strikes overnight, soon followed by a retaliatory salop rockets from the gaza strip. dw correspondent tanya kramer standing by for us in jerusalem. so tonya, what are you hearing about these latest strikes or lebanon? was about shortly after 4 a. m here local time that the israeli army sent out a message that there had attacked her areas around the southern lebanese city

a tear. and they mainly attacked as we understand from our sources in lebanon. they're open areas. the is really army claim, sir. the palestinian militant group, hamas for the earlier rocket barrages that went from southern lebanon into israel on thursday afternoon, although nobody has really claimed a responsibility. military analyst here are pointing out to the fact that hammers could not act in southern lebanon without the tacit you would say on a support of has ballard and other militant group in a southern lebanon. so that a mass and has bella, our allies, that this is also a message or to israel. now we heard from the lebanese government, they have been calling for com. they said they don't want to see an escalation. we also saw a statement from the un peacekeeping mission union. phil there said then contact with both sides, trying to de escalate that it's

a very serious an escalation there. so certainly, this is one of the most serious are confrontations we've seen, or in the past since the last, we're in 2006 between israel and lebanon for now. and unless you say, you know, this seems to be limited. there have been no reports of further air strikes by the israeli army in lebanon, but of course, it's too early to say where this is going. and what's the latest on these really strikes and garza? d is early army started to strike garza shortly after midnight. a local time or as they say they have targeted, also hammers, targets, or weapon factories. as they said in their statement or tunnels of people in garza said, there was heavy a bombardment at times. they have been also the arid sovereigns going off in southern israel. the areas around in communities around the garza strips for

wanting of incoming a rocket fire that has been assured love for an hour or 2, but is where the house resumed as strikes in the early morning. they have been again, a star in going off also in the southern a communities there. so again, for the moment this is the area around a garza, it is of course, a very, very difficult night for people in the south. they're in the shelters and gaza. we don't have shelters, people have been through this many, many times. whenever there is tension also in jerusalem. and of course we have to see how old this will also play out. today here is true slim in and in other areas . that was d w tanya, claim a reporting for us in jerusalem. thank you very much. european commission chief ursula on the line and friends president ammonia mccaul, have called on china to use its influence with russia and the warn you crate. the

european leaders are in beijing to promote peace, but they also had a stark warning for chinese president shooting being not doesn't weapons to russia . a clear message from the e. u chain to chinese president jean ping, use your leverage with moscow to help. and the war in ukraine, china's position on this is crucial for the european union. as a member of the un security council. they is a big responsibility. and we expect that china will play its role and promote a just peace one that respects ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. one of the cornerstones of the un charter. it was a message echoed by french president, emanuel mac kron who joined the 2 for talks. legless sean grease on your train or the russian aggression in ukraine has dealt a blow to the stability farm and it ended decades of peace in europe. it worked on

digital. i know i can count a new policy to bring russia to its senses and every one to the negotiating table. it will know that at that the negotiation whether the chinese president will, he'd that call is unclear. von de lion reported that he had agreed to talk to you cranes, president zalinski when the time was right. though she made no mention of this in his own comments. after the meeting. there were words of warning from fonder lion, the chief told she not to arm russia against ukraine. a possibility many western leaders have feared it, but she also had praise vizier statements on nuclear war. chinese president has urged both sides not to use nuclear weapons without mentioning russia, specifically on trade g said beijing and paris had agreed to deepen their co operation in fields like aerospace and nuclear energy. human rights concerns, particularly the persecution of the wigan muslims engine. jang. we're also

discussed the e u chief called the european chinese relationship. a complex but interdependent one. the war in ukraine is certainly putting the partnership to the test. robin clutch. murray's and the chinese capital. i put it to him. the morocco and fonder line had travelled to beijing together as a show of european unity and asked him what the 2 leaders had achieved that ame. well, i would say only to some degree. i mean, it was rather surprising that they were sending actually mixed or messages because, i mean, it was a clear statement or mac rob wanted to bring our ponder line because he wanted to show that there's only one voice when europe was dealing with china. but in the end, i mean also like underline a recently in her, china's need she was, am demanding a tapper approach towards china. she was demanding a di, risking towards her, you know, critical dependency on the chinese market and all this stuff and my cross rhetoric here and beijing was all about engaging with china. it was really very friendly.

and i think he also am sent some different signals by bringing a big economic delegation here with roughly 60 c o s. and you could also see how the chinese side was actively am dividing that those tooth awhile. and macro received a lot of, um, you know, our personal taylor seating ping. he was walking the red carpet in front of beijing's great hall of the people. wonder lane was basically left alone most of the time. and she was out to some degree the unwanted party guessed he, and baiting so it seems like there are some real mixed messages being said in beijing. do you think that both sides have been getting a wanted news talks? i mean, given that the europeans site, or their 1st priority was amusing or trying to persuade seating thing to use it or leverage over vladimir putting i think then it was a disappointment. am i in the chinese hand out that we happened? reading. it was all like a repetition of what

a china has been saying even previously in there are so called 12 point piece plan . dave yet and demand m a piece talk see, or post or nuclear threats, but that's if they didn't even mention russia, they didn't criticize russia with one syllabus. so there's really nothing new or what? well, you could say that one result is that a funder line mentioned that in those talks heating thing said that he wanted to talk talk or have a telephone call. this as the landscape was been asking for this already for several times. but he said only when the time is ready and we don't know when the time will be ready. so i think that's really a rather weak concession. i think from the chinese site they were getting what they wanted. they received the very friendly rhetoric from m and o m a call, and they actually betting on france and leading europe further away from the u. s. and closer to china, i think that's what they want and am to some degree. it was now not successful, but i think from the chinese site this meeting was more successful than for the european side. all right, that was have been cut by in beijing reporting for us. thank you. hundreds of

thousands of people have joined another round of protests and stripes and friends over the government, controversial pension plans. protesters want the deeply unpopular raising of the minimal retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00 to be scrapped, but french prisoner, my mccall, absent on a trip to china, seems determined not to back down. even with mac, ron thousands of kilometers away. paris is still burning. this time it was one of the french prisons favorite restaurants in flames. as processed as again faced up with police over his pension reform, ah, elsewhere in the french capital, striking railway workers took aim at another target and briefly stormed the building. housing, the offices of u. s. investment giant black rock. the company is

a major player in the private pension market, though it's not been involved in the government's plans. but despite the sales and the clashes demonstrate his seem determined to carry on many on the streets of paris were angry about not just the deeply unpopular reform itself, but also about the government's heavy handed approach. no, no guy, i love the never has been any of the government on a busy killer, the head of state, and someone david made on that positions by declaring that it's absolutely essential to carry out this reform. even though there are many other means which could be explored, which is not done at all. and so there's no discussion. that's obvious. what you'll do on that today. we have the impression that we are faced with a deaf and dumb government that is not regular to communication. we get the impression that emanuel mccomb has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country. what with the, with the government and the unions refusing to budge on talks going nowhere. both

sides and now waiting for france is constitutional counsel to way in next week. right. and you're up to date, but to stick around up next. as a documentary of the social in the quality inn and the up or the wounds of the german colonial era, still run deep. and don't forget if you need more news, there's much more in our website that steve, the g, w dot com. and of course, you can check on that check us out on social media or handle as at t w. news. american berlin, thanks for tuning in an interest in the global economy. our portfolio d w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the fight for market dominance
