a mass or the sky line of gaza city lighting up. not long after the israeli army confirmed that it was carrying out airstrikes in the territory. ah, israel also launched strikes in southern lebanon. this is the aftermath a day before the dozens of rockets were fired from lebanon toward israeli territory. the biggest rocket attack from lebanon in 17 years israel's prime minister, convened a security meeting to discuss how to respond marcella to quote on, regarding the aggression against us another front. then we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price of any act of aggression. when we go, our enemies will discover again that up moments of truth,

the citizens of israel's done united and unified and back the actions of israeli army and the other security services to defend our country. and all people who saw him is railey military said, most of the rockets were intercepted by its iron dome, anti missile system. this property in northern israel, however, was not spared. israel has pointed the finger at palestinian militants for the attacks. a time of rising tensions after israeli police rated the al axa mosque in jerusalem earlier this week is lamps, 3rd holiest site. authorities said they were forced to enter the complex to remove people. they describe as rioters palestinians, and their supporters accused israel of using excessive force against worshippers. an emergency session of the un security council on thursday night urged diplomats

on all sides to show restraint. ah, members were clearly united in the need for de escalation and common the 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 the holy month has so far brought no signs of de escalation . israel's overnight airstrikes were followed by a salvo of rockets from the gaza strip. law. jerusalem corresponded rebecca richard told me more about fatal shooting in the occupied westpac. what we know is that a family, a jewish family, was traveling in the occupied west bank and they came under fire in the jordan valley. the liquor lost control. the driver lost control of the vehicle, and 2 young women were killed at the scene. at one woman, the mother is in a critical condition. the father was travelling in

a separate car and survived the accident. now shortly after that incident, i'm so sorry. survived the shooting meg. they attack him as a mass came out of that attack in a statement, and they praised the attack. they said it was a natural response to israel's ongoing aggression towards palestinians. andy alex, i'm also referring to the scenes we saw in that report from tuesday where israeli police tried to clear the mosque they, they were there was video circulating of them, beating people inside the mosque. and that has really set tensions. right. got tensions running really high this week and in response to that attack in the jordan valley and the death of the, the 2 jewish women the far right members of the government. ca, calling for a really strong response from israel. israel defense minister has bolstered security across the country and the occupied territories. and at checkpoints at the police chief here in israel is calling to anyone with a gun and

a license to carry that gun for their own safety and to protect people around them . so tension extremely high, even if the situation here in the old city is relatively calm to day. and the situation that we're seeing there that the spike intentions overnight in the northern and southern borders does appear to be d escalating us riveto. this is in jerusalem. i did of loser bay route to bureau chief, muhammad jer, chaise. i updated me on the situation in lebanon. life is looking are normal under lebanese border towns, but the situation is there a cautious column there after israel army said it had struck 3 hammers. infrastructure at a gets in their south and lebanon this morning at residence around d, russia, d, 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, the militant group, hamas, now those anticipation of the reaction of earth that have been ease, 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 are aware of 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 you're onion backdrop, repeatedly expressed that readiness that for any upcoming battle with this one. and so 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 or 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 is, riots are lebanon's, caretaker government has expressed a condemnation of the rocket, launching an air reassured it's a commitment to the you and a solution. 17, a 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 her. keep her d situation there. deescalate. thank you for that. our bureau, our bay roots bureau chief of mohammed, traitor, we'll turn to ukraine now in the u. k. intelligence report saying that russian forces have made significant gains in the east and city of back mart,

the british se russian forces have probably taken the city center along with the west bank of the back. what could river that would put ukrainian supply lines under threat? ukraine rejects the report, but admits the situation is difficult, but mood has been under siege for months and her seen some of the fears as fighting of the war. moscow correspondent shea. gotcha manascale. in riga, where he's been working from since russia been d. w from operating in the country, he told me more about the backward situation. till the last with heard from the russian side about the situation backwards 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, the street bottle. and in fact,

in the last weeks, the de russian forces had the upper hand. they were taking ground in the city, 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. there is a re weigh 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 inches, if you are. so a progression said there can be no talk of big rush and offensive at the moment. of course he has, his own agenda has 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, well, will mean wild of the russian foreign minister. so gay laughter of is in turkey to discuss this deal that allowed the resumption of a grain exports from ukraine will listen to him at the press conference. and then a come back to here is a talking about russia's attitude towards any potential peace deal. we go to,

we are ready for negotiations into count the realities that have developed to day and taking into account that entertainment interests and legitimate concerns of the russian federation, primarily in terms of our security as opposed to j. gosh, how open is russia to piece talks? i've seen glove losses, just paying lip service to the idea. and he actually later went on to talk about how the russian interest 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, dmitri bischoff said that russia does not see room for political

settlement at this point, that it says no other way than, than 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 dog 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 multiple are piece words 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 on the planet, still to do it on military basis. nice. gotcha. gotcha. gotcha. bronowski, moscow correspond couldn't look now at some more stories making news around the world. and we'll start in russia,

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 plans, 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 a 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 projects. 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's world health day aimed at raising awareness of health and wellbeing issues . and next reports we focus on biodiversity, animals, plants, and fungi off a treasure trove of chemicals and compounds that can be used to treat

difficult. biodiversity is disappearing at an alarming rate, almost a 3rd of more than a $150000.00 species assessed as part of the i u. c. n thread list, which tracks the state of the world by of f t. a threatened with extinction. and humans are to blame. the 2 things that threatened both of us the most moment over harvesting and land confession and it's not just clearance of land for lost of the grade. it's clear, it's land for food and for life. stop to eat and clements at the ations. human driven climate change is also having an impact. fine to say loss of byte of us t does not just present a problem for drug discovery. humans are almost completely dependent on the natural world. whether it's through trees that remove pollutants from the air or crops, the provide food by diversity is the fabric that holds

life support together on our planet. and if we didn't have living wild nature and it would be in a much harder impossibility for his panic government promised to tackle by it of us, he lost by protecting 30 percent of land and oceans before to he 30. whether the commitments to come action could dictate, not just the state of the planet, but also human health. ah, germany is chess. federation has dominated its youngest ever player to take part in an upcoming torrent in croatia. 11 year old for st. presume will join the team after dazzling performances in domestic competition. but having fled serious civil war, there's much more at stake for hussein of his family than just what happens on the board. some spend a lifetime trying to mask the chess, others get the hang a little sooner. this is who st. bezos. i just 11 years old. he's already
