a south lebanon uniform and sat there talking to both sides and that nobody of once a war, they call it a very serious situation. now, given the fact that they has been know as strike until now that it has been quiet, although it is the most serious, a crisis now between the 2 countries. since the last war in 2006, it could also be as suggested that this is a limited strike, but of course it is for, for now to, to early, to tell what will happen next there. and lebanon is not the only flash pointer. what about garza, what's the latest from their, tanya? they're also there. and shortly after midnight, local time, the israeli army us started to carry out airstrikes and different targets or throughout the gaza strip. or that's what a residence there also have reported in, in this briefing from the army. they said they have when they described as hamas. a

shelters, but of course, especially in garza, they are no shelters. people in garza have been through this many, many times before and we don't know how this could play out. and a lot of people looking to day also, you know, towards jerusalem for the friday prayers. how the situation are, will be there later today. tony, thank you very much. our correspondent tony kramer in jerusalem. now european commission cheap ursula funder lion and france president manuel mccaul have called on china to use its influence with russia to end the war in ukraine. the european leaders are in beijing to promote peace, but there also, they also had a warning for chinese president, she jane being not to send weapons to russia. a clear message from the e. you chief to chinese president, jean ping, use your leverage with moscow to help end 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 young bruce 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 wasn't digital. i know i can count on 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 ear chief told she not to arm russia against ukraine. a possibility many western leaders have feared it, but she also had praise for g 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. more let's bring in correspond probably in crash bar in beijing, hobby on mccall and ponder law and wanted to demonstrate the ease unity by coming

together in beijing to their work. well not to the extent that many observers are half expected, it was rather surprising to see both politician sending yeah, quite different signals you had on the one site or the la underlined. she found quite strong words and criticized critic her works. she was voicing her concern for the worsening at human rights situation in china, especially in the region of since young. and on the other hand, you had a cry, his rhetoric was much more friendly. he was all about engaging with china and i was not so outspoken and it's a very clear that and the chinese government is, are benefiting from this dis, unity. they don't want a unified european voice towards china. and you could clearly say it see which site their favorite, macro was greeted with. no military honors. he was walking along the red carpet in front of the great hall of the people in beijing and was granted 6 to 7 hours of

personal time with sheeting ping. now also a funder line was basically treated a little bit like the uninvited guest to a party. so that was really very, i'm a big difference in china has put forward a kind of peace plan for russia's war against ukraine. fabia are both mccaul and funder line of expressed hope that china could help in that war. but is that realistic? fabi on given that the chinese and ukrainian leaders haven't even spoken with one another yet? well, you mention it. i mean, when a man i am a cross set towards seating thing, i know i can count on you to bring back russia to reason that was clearly wishful thinking because seating thing clearly chose not to do so. in his hand. out of the chinese side, he basically repeated what was, what would china's position before? and that does not include any criticism whatsoever against russia. they didn't even mention russia, they spoke about the legitimate security concerns of all parties. so basically,

they are very close to her rushes position in some regard and at yes m. s, cheating pink, according to it was a funder line, said that he wants to talk room and have a phone call this a ukrainian presidency lensky, but only when the time is ready. and i mean, when is the time and not ready if it's not now i'm, it's long overdue. you with zalinski has repeatedly asked a seating pink to have a call. they haven't even spoken once since the beginning of the russian invasion. and i would say a china has not shown any diplomatic concession towards ukraine. this is the 3rd day of my call and fonder lions visit to china of what's on their agenda fabia . yes, a backlog was flying to one joe and the 7 in south china, which is the business city and and he was expected to meet our students day and have some exchange. and then later he will have one farewell dinner with seating ping. that is the last point of the agenda and yeah,

maybe he will talk one more time to the press, but i don't expect any major substantial um, results coming from her program. there is a lot at stake her for the european union. of course it is with respect to china, but we have, we have frances national interests getting for grounded there, particularly on the economic front far beyond what is france hoping to do in terms of business with beijing. well, i mean, her makram was clearly coming with a big economic delegation m a roughly 60 c. also, he basically had some deals signed and em. yet though, i think the message was cleared was, are saying after 2 and a half years of pandemic, isolation, he and china now and the exchange should go on and you can make an interpretation. the saying this is business as usual and a continuation of the trade policy. i mean, thank you very much. correspondent,

probably impressed further in beijing sh. hundreds of thousands of people have joined another round of protests and strikes in france for the government's controversial pension roof of reform plants. protesters want the deeply unpopular raising of the minimum retirement age from $62.00 to $60.00 poor to be scrapped, but french present about obama con, absent on that trip to china, seems determined not to back down. even with ma chrome, thousands of kilometers away. paris is still burning. this time it was one of the french presidents, 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 loads not been involved in the government's plans. but despite the sales and the clashes demonstrated seemed 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, no dialogue, the never has been any the government on a busy killer, the head of state david made on that positions by declaring that it's absolutely essential. 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. or you'll do that today. we have the impression that we are faced with a deaf and dumb government that is not very good at communication. we get the impression that genuine macaroni absolutely no interest in what is happening in his

own country. luck with the with the government. and the unions refusing to budge and talks going no way, both sides and now waiting for france is constitutional counsel to way in next week you're watching dw news from berlin up next it's business. i'm terry martin for me and all of us here at d. w. thanks for watching someone else she's on tv highlighted selected for you. you every week in you a box subscribe. now. how can journalism help us in overcoming divisions register now for the d. w. global media form 2023 in

a bit of happiness to the cities for them. i'm chris cobalt, reprogram average inflation for latin american countries stood at almost 15 percent last year. the international monetary fund service is creating a crisis, particularly for those who have already been struggling. now the leaders of 1111 american countries say they forged to plan to address the issue. as argentina's, inflation rate of almost 100 per cent, saps earning power and outstrips wages. 67 year old jorge pedro r mo, has found a painful solution. juggling 3 jobs is a metal worker, a part time salesman, of flip flops, medical creams, and honey, and as a soccer coach. our mo, an who lives in the outskirts of the capital one as iris works 7 days a week, every week to stave off poverty. that affects almost $4.10 people in the south

american country that is in no, she goes in to sometimes i can't make it until the end of the month. so she, i like handle, hey, for electricity, water bills, taxes, which are very high in place, elephant oil dog, i'll eat it. it's not only argentina fighting, extremely high inflation. some caribbean nations are struggling as well. in cuba, the official inflation figure last year was 39 per cent. independent economists estimated to be a lot higher. the state at least gives out some food via the so called supply book . but you have to be flexible because not everything is always available. ready another comically i'll call them i get more chicken than anything else because that's what they give you. i don't like chicken. i prefer to eat an egg, but since i don't have anything else, i have to eat whatever there is, because i can't go without food and a mobile that at their virtual meeting,

the presidents of several states agreed on measures to fight the inflation. but it wasn't brutal if we agree to remove barrier tariff stuck who had and sanitary measures because each country has something to offer up to consumers. in the i looking for to sit in this way, we can get food and a censure products at better prices in the face of inflation and to high prices. he to the gay with under halimon, does she, brutus busing. close. i mean, but issue many in latin america and the caribbean. now hope that these measures become concrete so that inflation will soon slow down for more i'm not joined by harvey. i get us news anchor on our spanish speaking service and formerly a presenter here on the w business. welcome back to the studio 3. how good to have you. we've seen the problems caused by inflation vividly illustrated in that report

. but remind us, how did it get so bad? well, of course, latin america, diverse region, every country has its own different problems. but broadly speaking, most of these countries have rather high levels of external debt that, that most often has to be back in a foreign currency or their own. so that makes them vulnerable to changes in the global economy in their own currency. that also costs as a general distrust by the populations. argentinians for example, prefer to have their savings and investments in dollars than in their national best, or because they think it's safer that further weakens their currency and makes prices look or go up. and last but not least, it's important to remember that inflation is measured by a set of products. most of them are great cultural products, and we've seen a perfect storm of the warren ukraine, which drove the prices of grains up. we saw climate change and droughts in sometimes with record levels of rain or low levels of rain in the region. and last but not least, also very important. the bird flew, which is driven up the prices of meat. so all of this has caused the increase in price, so there are certainly regional factors that are also to blame here. now,

11 latin american countries want to work together to combat this rampant inflation . what exactly do they want to do? well, the final communique of this summit is quite vague, yet they are going to meet again in may. but what they are talking about is to reduce the trade barriers and tariffs, and also what they call a to simplify the logistics to make export and import of those products within the countries and with other countries, easier and cheaper. they also talk about a fair, international architecture finance architecture, which would probably mean to exert some type of pressure against lenders or for debt cuts or to reduce the interest rates. and is this initiative likely to be successful? i would love to tell you that it's going to be a huge success. it sounds rather simple and easy to do, but let's not forget that all of these countries, most of these countries, at least, are politically aligned in this case, to the left. if you're really going to have an impact, you do have to include the other site experience in latin america has shown that many of these initiatives fail because a country married mainly

a heavyweight countries like brazil. argentina can quickly change from one political direction to the other. and then turn their backs on these types of initiatives due to ideological or political problems. if this happens again, we will see this initiative fail. maybe they'll be successful. we certainly hope for it because it's important for the people in the h. t w's. harvey. i get us. thank you for your analysis of you. no less than a month ago. tesla announced plans to build a car factory, monterey, mexico close to the us border since then. suppliers have set up shop housing for workers has gone up along with wages, concerns in the water, scarce region have also been growing. this is the speaker for tesla model, 3. it's made by the mexican company, ali and plastics. director felipe ability i assist that ellen musk steamer tesla contacted him just days after announcing the new factory being built near monterey . valera alice this output at his company will likely rise by
