a tv address, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu as told the country and the world that is real is preparing a ground invasion of gaza. netanyahu did not give details, but he repeated a warning to palestinians to move south to the south of gaza. the computer on the same, we're getting ready for a ground operation. and you know, if i, i will not say when, how are using how many soldiers. i don't know if i will also not specify the conditions that are being taken into account. so i'm a good the majority of which are not known to the public. and this is how it should be built. it's for the benefits of our soldiers. i want to be clear. the timing of the defense forces operation would be determined unanimously by the war cabinet, along with the defense forces, chief of stuff for me to come out jointly within the cabin as we are operating to ensure the best conditions for fighters, for future action the same i me to view, i'm going to come in. so what will be expected ground defensive look like from the

perspective of the israel defense forces. i asked idea, spokes person, lieutenant colonel. jonathan can read us. thank you for having me. and it will be a dangerous and difficult mandatory maneuver in dense urban terrain with a complex of tunnels that runs across. and why did the entire gaza strip, which is where most of the, how much terrorist are hiding. if it's a maneuver that will take time, that will be done slowly too much while trying to distinguish between combatant and non combatants and focusing on the combatants until we eventually will achieve our aim, which is to dismantle, come us and make sure that the atrocities that they perpetrated on october the 7th will never happen again by a french present. a manual call said massive ground invasion would be an error because it would be unlikely. this is a quote, unlikely to offer long term protection. what is your response to that?

well, what we want to do is let's focus on the tactics and how we will achieve it. but we're focusing mostly on the end result. and the end result must be very clear that cannot be a military entity that has any ability to threaten these. randy civilians, we want our communities around the gaza strip to flourish again just like they flourished up until saturday. the 7th of october. we want children to play in their school yards in the courtyard, so that'd be want the life to flourish as it did before. that cannot happen with an armed terrorist. i says, organization at all border looking specifically a question of security now israel has fought 5 wars with some us since 2008. and the last large scale were in 2014, that included a ground invasion. they killed over a 1000 civilians. not to mention the death toll on the side of the defense forces. and it ultimately didn't eliminate the most threat. do you feel confident that it

will succeed this time as? yeah, i think your question is very relevant because all of the previous rounds of crow conflicts where rounds of conflict, they were operations, we are now in war. we understand that if we allow the security situation to continue, we will face this again and then in a few years another journalist will ask me or someone else, what did you do last time? there isn't going to be the next time this time. the aim of the operation is different than this time it will be achieved last time in 2014. when with the goal was not defined as 2 completely dismantled from us. it was mostly focused on the tunnels that were doug from guideline to as well. that was the main thread that was achieved, but i agree there was a heavy price, heavy human price at the end of these like, it sounds like the problem there is that the, the last time the aims were to give israel more security. that's the same name this

time. what specifically is different then? no, no, no. it is the from them into the different in the, at the day that this was the end, there will be no more harm us in the golden street. that was an excerpt from my interview with lieutenant colonel jonathan. you can reach us of the israel defense forces. let's take a look now at some of the other headlines connected to the israel, hamas conflict on the prime minister of cuts are says, there has been progress in negotiations to free. more is really hostages, held by him off. more than 200 hostages were taken by him aust, during its terror attacks on october 7th for people have been freed so far is real, it uses cuts are of helping to fund un. chief antonio gutierrez has rejected is really accusations, and he justified them off terrorist attacks on israel. he was criticized for telling the un security council that the attacks did not happen in a vacuum, and he called for an end to it inscribed as, quote,

the collective punishment of palestinians to 2 resolutions on the conflict at the un security council. have both failed us call for so called humanitarian pauses to allow aid to reach gaza was vetoed by russia and china only 4 other countries. in fact, russia's own proposal for a full humanitarian ceasefire. israel as resisting calls to halt its bombardment. 2 resolutions still no agreement at the un security council. we asked our washington bureau chief and his pole. if we can expect another attempt to pass a resolution they're so will. that's what we hear a b, and you a resolution over the next to days from the, from model to i probably will bring that in from the elected tenants. we don't really know what will this be about, and then we have the general assembly tomorrow where there will be also

a debate about a united full piece resolution. every single member of the general assembly can bring into this resolution for that. if there was a veto, which we saw last year in 2 days, that's a little bit of a tricky part because the general assembly is huge. and we have many, many countries who are in support of palestine and on the other hand of israel's. so it's totally open, but we will see you tomorrow us republicans have elected conservative congressman mike johnson of the state of louisiana. as the new speaker of the house of representatives, the vote in weeks of uncertainty and republican in fighting on capitol hill. since the departure of the previous speaker, kevin mccarthy, the 56 speaker of the united states house of representatives, the honorable mike johnson. after 21 days of lead to this chaos, the us house of representatives finally has

a new speaker. so this week, mike johnson, most less the noun, say, get in us politics, but his sudden elevation has trust him into the national spotlight. to my colleagues, i want to thank you all for the trust that you have instilled in me to lead us in this historic and unprecedented moment. there were in the challenge before us is great, but the time for action is now and i will not let you down by his election ends, the paralysis in the house since the unprecedented ousting of his breed assessor kevin mccarthy. this is the 4th time republicans tried to agree on the need for the speakership. they failed the 5th street, the speaker elect mike johnson, the state of louisiana knox conservative and student support, a former president, donald trump. the new speaker is no stranger to controversial opinions. a vocal

opponent about g, b t q lights, a stringent anti abortionist, and 2020 election denied. his success is a victory to the trump infection. and the republican party and donald trump had symbol months. and the speaker the the mark johnson. sorry, this is alex in the you're pressing issues, the 1st of which will be reaching a deal to avoid a government shut down by november 17th. and despite the divided nature of politics in the us, many that will be glad the deadline is come to an end. let's take a look now at some other headlines. donald trump has been fined $10000.00 for breaching a gag, an order during his fraud trial in new york. it's the 2nd time the former president

has been penalized for his commons, attacking courts, staff. trump is on trial for allegedly inflating the value of his assets in order to secure loans. a 3rd place argentinian presidential candidate, patricia bull rich has thrown her support too far. right? libertarian javier malay for the runoff election next month. giving him a potential boost over ruling party candidates there. your mazda ly, who promised to take a chainsaw, the public spending came 2nd and sundays 1st round election. hurricane otis struck the south west coast of mexico with record high winds in rain after surprising forecasters with its sudden strength, oldest battered hotels in the coastal city of acapulco and centuries. running for cover installed in strength and quickly from a tropical storm into a category 5 hurricane. the 12 hours before it struck its expected to dissipate as it moves in went to the full 30 stay. the storm caused land sides knocked out

communications, and much of the region remains without power. spoke earlier with meteorologist matthew pushy and asked how surprising it was that this tropical storm ramped up so quickly extremely is to be honest, the unprecedented to be 12 hours for it to get it from a tropical storm to a category 5 in 12 hours time. and the worst part was not only was this occasion extreme, rapid intensification, but it was entirely on forecasted. we never die with all the model suggested we would stay below 100 kilometers per hour. so folks for the bed expecting you one of the main tropical storm venable and that night you got an extreme event. we went over to a 150 kilometers per hour ravaging most of acapulco. and unfortunately, this might have been historically the biggest city to ever be directly hit by our low a category 5 storm. so a very high end events, and one that we never saw coming. okay, so how did that happen? i mean, mexican authorities knew it was coming to a storm was coming,

but then completely caught off guard. so what, what went wrong with the forecasting here? honestly, we're, we're not exactly sure we know that this thing. i wonder when robinson's occasion and ingredients for that or threefold. you need very warm water temperature. so about $31.00 to $33.00 degrees celsius, which we had. we also need, we wins in the upper atmosphere or lack of windshield or disrupting change and waste time in the wizard is too much, you not to start off kilter and can't really organize. and we thought initially that would be in the hospital that would get this or prevented from strengthening. it turns out that wasn't the case. what other agreeing to that kind of fascinated me with a different address for him. that river, when the rasp here off the west of the storm, what we think may happen is that different jets free and cold exhaust air, away from the storm at the top, alone with the sucking more was you there down below, like a vacuum like a chimney helping its intensification, but we also know there's a very strong link between human views, climate change, the warming waters, and of course rather than transportation. and fortunately, this thing straightened

a 177 kilometers per hour and 24 hours as a poster child for sleep by a rapid investigation. oh, but it's expected to dissipate as it moves inland toward the mountains. um, can we expect a lot more damage from it? before it fizzles out, as well as the single though now it's only a run, a tropical storm, almost a truck with oppression at this point. it's no longer a hurricane and it's moved in lives with lost that life getting warm energy from the warm ocean water. so low, so at this point the damage is done. the issue though becomes where people even start with being up to damage between communications, life being said, or supply chains, not be able to get in, get out the road that were being large and designated. and what surprised me to are the number of high rise buildings that stuff are just starting from the store. it's not something you can see unless you're talking very high in store. so this was actually next to the strong this specific landfall. for the 1st time, we finally started the west coast mexico and the pacific coast for that matter of

the western part of united states either and ultimately this is something that we haven't seen before. assigning stuff. urologist matthew kabuki, thanks again. thank you. you're watching dw news up next dw business with my colleague rob watson. stay tuned for that. the actually we don't have a choice. so we have a little time list to save the planet. so we have to do what we can as fast as possible. we only have $110.00 ration left just 25 years to implement the greatest revolution since the doing of the industrial age replacing both of.
