a busy time of year of that with torrison childrens from mostly a jewish in christian faith. what is the security situation like following these rockers attacks? oh, well, the situation on the border in the north and the south ones i just mentioned, those rocket attacks do appear to be escalating. there seems to be will on neither on know side for that to escalate any further. but we are seeing and feeling very tense situations here, as you mentioned, the convergence of the 3 religious holidays happening this weekend. everyone on high alert. and of course those attacks the tech that we just mentioned on the settlers in the occupied westbank. we overnight, we saw rocket fly going into garza from the idea that 10 hamas targets were hit according to the idea if they said that 10 targets we hid mainly our weapons

manufacturing sites and the like. it either cause that 10 situation here. we're waiting to see what will happen at the moment, things here at the old city, off relatively calm, but there is an overshadowing, if you will, of these tensions that have been spilling over. thank you for that. rebecca, rebecca, christmas and the old years let's pick up the situation in ebit anata. israel responded to rockets, a fired from that with a barrel of its own overnight r beirut bureau chief, is mohammed tre. so welcome, mohammad. how are things and out ballast is looking for normal under the knees, border towns, but the situation is there a cautious column, the after israel army set it had struck 3 hammers. infrastructure at a gets in their south and lebanon this morning at residence around the russia de palestinian refugee camp. nearly a southern city of tier that he port at 3 loud blasts around for

a m a local her time. this came in retaliation for rocket barrage launched on their israel from sultan lebanon. is right. blamed on the air, a militant group, hamas, now those anticipation of the reaction of the the knees heavily armed group has belie. there are many questions about the nature or scale. andy or timing of the possible response prompt hesper law and whether it will be limited to the that known rules of engagement or with israel. meaning that both parties are acknowledged, the balance of power, and they don't a seem to be keen on changing it at a, at the moment, although that your onion backdrop repeatedly expressed that readiness that for any upcoming battle with this one as to what sort of political reaction has there been well, a been on might be the most challenging front for israel, or from him a military you perspective, however,

the political situation in lebanon is very fragile. the country, it has been facing a presidential at vacuum for 6 months now. and at the ability of the caretaker government is very limited when it comes to importance and m as strategic decisions . there are major or political divisions in lebanon that some opposition leisure's . they have accused iran allies including has bela and allied, a palestinian factions of dragging lebanon into a confrontation with their israel, or lebanon's. caretaker government has expressed its a condemnation of the rockets launching and air reassured, it's a commitment to the un resolution. 17 o, one would stop the war with his wife in 2006, when his army said also it is working closely with un peacekeepers in lebanon to a keep the situation there deescalate. thank you for that. our bureau, our bay roots bureau chief of homage rates in the search turned out to

ukraine. and british intelligence report says, russian forces have made significant gains in the east and city of back mart. the british, the british se a russian forces have probably taken the city center along the western bank of the bahamas, current river. that would put ukrainian supply lines under threat. you cranes denied the report, but admits the situation is difficult, but most has been under siege for months and has seen some of the fears as fighting of the war as get more from our moscow correspondent, j gosh schumann, off ski, who joins us from riga, where dw has been operating from century, we're banned from russia. welcome, j gosh. so we have these british intelligence report saying that ukrainian forces have lost ground in backward ukrainian miller. she says it's fighting on one of the russian se till the last we heard from the russian side about the

situation back more was from give guinea pig gordon head of the wagner group that is fighting in the city. yesterday. he said that the enemy, the ukrainians, are actually not going anywhere. and as you said, the battle in the city has been going on for months for over 8 months already. and it has turned into this grinding street to st bottle. and in fact, in the last weeks, the de russian forces had the upper hand. they were taking ground in the city. and but what precaution said now is that yes, the ukrainian argo are falling back, but they prepare new defense lines, particularly in the western part of the city. the reserve railway line going from north to the south, which offers pretty good to do defense possibilities for the ukrainians. and even if they leave behind, they will. they will build up the fence line in the, in the next city in chassis of yar. so a precaution said there can be no talk of big rush and offensive at the moment. of course he has his own agenda. he's been criticizing the russian military command many times to raise his own profile. but i think this comment shows that even if

the frontline is moving and then it's moving very slowly, one will mean wild of the russian foreign minister. so gay, laugh rove is in turkey to discuss this deal that allowed the resumption of a grain exports from ukraine will listen to him out. the press conference, and then a come back to you. here is a talking about russia's attitude towards any potential piece deal where you are, we are ready for negotiations into count the realities that have developed to day and taking into account the data to mate interests and legitimate concerns of the russian federation. primarily in terms of our security j gosh, i how open is russia to peace talks? i think love losses just paying lip service to the idea. and he actually later went on to talk about how the russian interests and russian concerns are being neglected

by the west. and this is really on how russia has, how the kremlin has been presenting itself in this conflict. it says it's interested, it's interested in peace, but and assigns the blame to the west. in fact, yesterday speaker of the russian president to meet you, bischoff said that russia does not see the room for political settlement at this point, that it says no other way than then to continue with this. so called special military operation. and i think this is in connection with, with another comment from lover of today. he said that any piece talk with neat would require talk about the a new world order. and this is something russian officials have been, have been talking about for 4 years already. this multi polar piece world with regional spheres of influence. and of course, we've heard many times from the criminal that it sees ukraine as its own sphere of

influence. so i think the plan in the kremlin is still to subjugate ukraine. and at this point, the, the finest still to do it. and on military basis, thanks, garage, i got a got seminar sky. ah, moscow correspond small stories making news around the world and will know, continue with russia away and the foreign ministers. okay. laugh m speaking in turkey, said russia could pull out of the deal, which restarted those grain that exports from ukraine is in turkey, which i helped broke about to deal, which you brought down global food prices. let's go once blocks on exports of it, sir. fertilizer and grey removed china's registry has sent warships and planes near to taiwan for a 2nd day. according to taipei, taiwan president saying, when is returning home from the united states wish met with us? how speaker kevin mccarthy. china claims the self governing island as its own

that's a 50 percent increase in the number calling for that. people are still thinking about other international issues like the war in ukraine and migration. well, more domestic questions, like the cost of living a further down the priority list. the climate question has been at the heart of arguments within the coalition lately, which may explain why more people are focusing on it. some in the government want to press ahead with ambitious green plants, while others are worried about the cost. the poll numbers show that reflects a split in public attitudes to only 18 percent of people think germany is on track to meet its climate goals, while much larger proportion. say it's either going to quickly or not. pushing ahead as fast as it should at the end of march, the government parties are great. some tweaks to their environmental plans, especially focusing on transport. some aging auto bonds will get

a face lift and planning processes will be shortened to speed completion of some long story project. at the same time, more money will be pumped into the nation's rail system. asked if those are the right priorities. germans tend to agree. a big majority supports boosting rail at the same time, more than half one more fast roads to be built, and a similar number oppose the use upcoming ban on new fossil fuel powered vehicles. in fact, only 36 percent of german support that move. and as spring brings warmth to germany, what these poll also shows clearly many people worried about the climate and about the government's plans. in fact, a just 27 percent support for the coalition is at its lowest level yet. today is world health day aimed at raising awareness of health and wellbeing issues and next report. we focus on bio diversity, animals, plants and fungi of
