program. israel's military is pressing ahead with the air strikes and pal standing and militants are firing rockets towards israel. that's the spite of reports that egypt had brokers, a ceasefire, and mills and group as long as you had said and fired hundreds of rockets on wednesday, setting off air raid sirens throughout, southern and central israel is really air strikes, has killed at least $21.00 palestinians including 3 militant commanders and the latest fighting israel said it was attacking rocket science preemptively to the w corresponding rebecca rivers in b is rarely town of. they came near the border with gaza and across that border and gaza city. is there a list of the fund a ton? i asked them earlier about the current situation on the ground out for a day of heavy cross border fire. it certainly has been pretty heavy across the board as far as you righty. point out some of the words that we've seen since august last t, when there was another flare up here around about 300 or nearly 300 rockets. the

last official figure was $270.00 though it's still that number is going to be a lot higher. as of all these have continued have been fine today from gaza, which is pretty doc. now you probably can't really see behind me, but the lights there on the hill that is across the border into garza now. but even in the last couple of hours we've been hearing room is it's being reported in some media that is, talks of a cease fire, but even at the same time as that was you know, room it or now. so being reported on in various media, we so, and now the quite large volley come across a couple since then. and even some more rockets as even resolves towards television . so definitely that say, so i am not going to the sci fi totes, at least not going that. well, the situation here is the most, all of those rockets, many of them we can see behind us a little bit earlier. they were shut out by the by, as well as

a defense system beyond done some did make line full name in the city of steroids and ash, cologne, where a couple of buildings were damaged. mm. we can see it from where you are, but we do have someone across the border in gaza. sophie, what's happening there? the so i'm standing north of guy, the city, and we've been seeing during the past few hours from about $730.00. rock is being fired. be launched friend here towards israel, we've been seeing and hearing them. and at the same time, there is also been further attacks from israel into the gaza strip. so far we don't know anything about casualties here. and we've of course, also been following the talks about a possible ceasefire, but the finding obviously seems to be continuing right now. it's quiet, but we need to see how this is going to be developing. sophie, and this latest escalation is between israel and the militant as long as the high that's designated a terrorist group by israel,

the west and european countries. how strong a force is this group and gaza? it is a note and faction in gaza, 2nd to her mas, which is controlling the gaza strip, and has less capabilities and has less finances. but the fact that it's been behind recent attack shows that this faction is not to be underestimated. israel keep reiterating that they're specifically right now targeting b as lot make jihad, no trends. and whether this conflict, my brother, escalade told me, depends on what role homeless might be playing. yes. and then up to this point they have been appearing to remain on the sidelines. so how, so what is their role sophie? i'm not, is not interested in a fully fledged escalation. that's what many experts and what are assuming because

i'm also seeing what an escalation like that could mean back in 2021 massive destruction mess of suffering and the civilian population. i'm not worried about losing popular support if that were to happen again. if there was another war that would include harm us with lots of casualties. the situation and gaza as dire, the economic situation is very dire. and the work permits that are given by israel to cost and workers across the board. us are very important for the economy and gaza and they will be threatened if there was another longer escalation that some harm us would be involved in. so there is definitely political interest here as well, and not letting this further escalates. but we need to see what's going to happen. rebecca, let's talk about the prospects of a cease fire. what's being done to bring the signing to an end. well that have been told is ongoing between egypt, katasha and the un,

their sort of speed heading talks and negotiations. now, earlier in the day, israel was saying that it was willing to accept a see saw respond, but it would definitely be willing to face hostilities. and it was, you know, we were hearing that hamas are also in agreement. but now it's looking like we're also hearing from some soul. so saying that the se supply talks have broken down, namely, because is ro wouldn't agree to stop targeted assassinations in the, in gauze or against the islamic jihad militants. and so that means that they, as long as you had said that they, they wouldn't go ahead with any phase 5. but of course, these things all fluid. this is on an ongoing situation that talks continue. and we, you know, suddenly residents in goals are and here in, in southern israel, all hoping for something to, for us and things to be coming down. but it could be a long night ahead. volatile situation in israel and gaza,

rebecca renters and so fee fund that time. thank you so much for the view from both sides. the accord in pakistan has ruled that former prime minister and run con can be held in custody for up to 8 days. con was dragged from court and arrested in his long about on tuesdays, sparking widespread protests across the country. at least 5 people have been killed according to media reports, and hundreds of his supporters had been arrested after classes with authorities, local broadcaster g o news. as con has been indicted for unlawfully selling state and gifts during his time is premier constitution comes on the heels of growing tensions with the military leaders. what else to do? tales continues in practice done in run con supporters of protesting nationwide. c of to the dramatic arrest of the leader and a former prime minister. and what i'm kind of game on cons,

arrest is legal and unconstitutional. protest started yesterday evening to continue through the night and are still going on your comfort. the protesters will not stop until they run con is released to honey. due to the violent protests, schools and businesses remain closed in many cities. the roads are blog, businesses are closed, the people cannot go to work. 5 to participate in the watson heavy committed that these people vendor lies are solved zimmerman for good to kind of go with those over to america. most of those students can not do the school exams are going on and the school children vince of the army is being deployed into practice, stormy states to maintain the one order in run cons policy lead is asking support is to remain peaceful from cut off due to high, but people out in the street. yep. with district and they will continue to put this

. but i've awesome. the this is the legal thought seduce the right. keep it peaceful. do not a good it could be because is do not destroy public or private property. but the reason for this is that the former prime minister faces dozens of corruption charges, which he and his policy deny. this time, the pakistani authorities accused and run con, of receiving valuable and does a, brought it from a property type thing. this is, and it asked, which is not more debated by any political victimization. this is a that asked which was not done at the behest of the government. it is, and that is, that was made by the national accountability bureau, the institution that as of was to look off the caption cases in the country. meanwhile,

a pack of stony court and dilated emerald cons northly sending state gifts during his tenure and approved 8 days the physical ramones of him run con. in another case, if convicted, he will be disqualified from becoming premier again. earlier i asked the w h o correspondence shows how likely it is that the situation could spiral out of control of, in my opinion, is actually already a spot in the control c. so many people have to get an e commerce to voters that they can do the streets. they are jumping slogans against the military. they have a dock really agrees residential areas and also say this is going to unprecedented in box phone. it has never happened before. so in my opinion,

things are already going back and it has not happened in the boss as i said, and if so, please remain like this in the next few days. and i live reading in the next few days, already google docs on even politics. i can see the military could possibly intervene directly and big the matters and i would not to deny the possibility of a military convention if things continue to protest affect the courts, treatment of cons, grass case. and i think it's quite unlikely you see, as i said, the military is quite unhappy with the situation and they came up with a statement where they create a so called spot to unit homes, up concept bodies, all the issues. the movie ministry has been in boston, adapt by an onslaught, the silver, other politicians, the countries economies. quite. we said the miller agrees not possibly,

broadly as possible as it used to be some years ago, but it still has considerable crib. and if and when it decides to flex its muscles, the political bobbies, the industry, one of the stakeholders, a wouldn't be able to resist the ministry ministry spa. so i don't think that it wrong console folders. but in education and products, good. good. a false in the middle of pre specials. you do to back down kind of polarizing figure, but he's also the most popular political leader according to polls. how do you explain that? he's a popular style edition. he is an old cider and buckets on the politics, and people see him as an alternative to produce the politicians to show ease and the book. and then people believe the comic and fix everything in boxes. they want

easy fix. but the thing is that the con wasn't above the face to do it. if he comes back to bob, well, he's likely to deliver again as all thoughtless additions for he does not have a proper, proper idea about how to, how to deal with the economy. how to do to describe to the issues of the country. so that's the issue and he's gone so good. a messiah is very popular right now, but popularity is not custom, phenomenal in politics. any asset box impacts on is going through a number of crises at the moment. what does this political turmoil mean for the path forward? well, the economy is the most important, most crucial issue for bucks on all of the issues that are important. going to be economy, they can amik situation is really, really bad. about the progress on the government of the struggling do to get the i am is been out all and this situation offer comes arrest is going to further down

the column. and it's going to get worse on here, but we have to wait and see what the, the corresponding shuttle sounds. thank you so much effort. and here's a look at some of the stories making news around the world. today. the german government has agreed to provide the country 16 states with an additional 1000000000 yours to provide housing and services for the growing number of asylum seekers. chancellor or life shots made the announcement during a meeting with regional leaders in berlin. more than a 1000000 ukrainians have sought refuge in jermaine since russia invaded their country last year or at least 15 people drowned after a boat capsized in north western nigeria. police say 21 passengers were rescued. the wooden boat was crossing a river and shall gary district one and capsize. overcrowding and poor maintenance of boats is responsible for most accidents on niger and waterways. avert
