that's great britain's bar, right in front of the canada auto bunks. the countries are falling to the cold of us defense secretary lloyd austin, joined in maritime protection, forced to keep the red sea clear of who's the rebels base. and yeah, the, the who face have been attacking commercial vessels in the red sea, causing at least a 5 big shipping companies to stop operating that. so with that task force, look, i'm going to the who fish really want, i'm feel go invalid, and this is the day the, these regulatory attacks are a serious international problem. actions will be taken in coordination with our allies. you know, these attacks will not be denied, so israel security is rest and he's not a me, some goes us also by the who

t you're not out. so this is not a gauge be something that is easily or said also on the day after rumbling away for weeks, rocketing communities has been forcing the evacuation of residents. volcano in iceland has finally left loose throwing on spectacular fountains of molten lava. i'm. i'm very excited to be here in this, in this place in this, in this time. and just being able to see this natural phenomenon happen just seeing lava emerged from the ground. even if it's it, in a particular content and such as this is just fascinating and see, just nature inaction. i just, it's just like some of the movie of the welcome to the day, the u. s. as in, as the creation of

a multinational task force to help protect ships traveling through one of the world's most important was the waste the red sea. for weeks since the rebels have been using that strong hold in yemen to target israel, and anyone they consider to be linked to it over to war in gaza. the around back to militant is list of attacks and see several vessels along the red sea roads, which carries more than 10 percent of global trade. shipping jobs, cma c, g n, a mask. and how about blowing into holes suspended, sailing through the area? disrupting a vital audrey for consumer goods, oil and liquified natural gas between asia and new york. instead of 17 days to transport cargo ships have been rerouted around africa's cape of good hope, taking more than twice as long and of course inflating costs the task force operation prosperity guardian aims to protect ships on the red sea using one of the wells most important matters on trade routes the series come out. several

companies have halted shipping after that search and attacks by a militants from german business group. back by iran says the vessels that targeted with linked to richmond a short helicopter flight. and a quick hijack the crew of the galaxy leader didn't stand a chance after who the rebels landed on deck and went straight for the bridge. that these pictures were released by who to leadership, who they are p a to show the 1st of many attacks against chips and the red sea humans. iran back military group assess the galaxy leader was carrying goods bound for a port in israel. recent they so numerous attacks against the tank and freighters and the area among them hits against 2 ships transporting cargo ford tally and switch. shipping giant m a c h 2 was set to be heading to israel. the what the claim that the actions are directly tied to the countries war and gaza alone. yeah

. well the 2 container ships m a c l on. yeah. and m a c palostio. we're heading to the israeli entity and were targeted by 2 suitable naval ms. so the process of targeting the 2 ships came after the crews refused to respond to calls from the many naval forces, as well as firey warning messages. they get many armed forces. reassure, all ships heading to old ports around the world, except is really ports that no harm will be full. them not much of a reassurance for the shipping sector. the problem from yemen, the which he can easily control the pop in one depth, straight the southern entrance to the red sea and a bottleneck for global shipping. it allows cargo from asia, as well as the middle east to access the suez canal for 17 day trip to europe,

on average, as opposed to a $41.00 day journey around the african continent. some shipping companies have already begun to rewrote their ships. should that be more analysts, or expecting yet another hit to economies around the world, including germany's of the diamond economy and many other economies have been affected by supply bottlenecks in the fall. so these supplier bottlenecks have been using in recent mom's about has hope, the economy and if the they are now coming back, if we get new bottlenecks here, this will fall the hold back to the economy. so it's a real threat. this may reduce production and drive up prices. meanwhile, the international community is taking action on a visit to bind us defense. secretary lloyd austin and the own some multi nation forced to patrol the waters of given and secure shipping routes. well, let's pick this up with middle established asha l copy, who's our research associates and instructor at harvard university. welcome to the

w. so when, who sees a top vessels in the red sea? this looks like this is not necessarily about piracy because they're not interested in seizing a ship for its monetary value. they're not interested in seizing a ship for its political value. they're merely looking for propaganda victories on the red sea in order to show up their own position within human rights. so they, they seem to ship to just talk us through about how does it benefit them? so after 2014, the was he seized the capital city of santa they, for a long war, a civil war against the saudi backed internationally recognized government as late as october, 6th of 2023. it seemed as if the saudis and includes these were on the

verge of signing a piece of court because these were negotiating from the position of weakness. october 7th, presented it with us with an opportunity to both focus on an external enemy rather than on their own humanitarian crisis within human. and also has an opportunity to shore up their own local support amongst the minis. bye for train themselves as fighters against israel against an external enemy. and so is that a full connection will link between these who would fees and thomas or are they just facing the same enemy? the link is really seen between iran come us has but all $3.00 of these organizations are being funded or being armed in are also are being led by a general feeling or, or general come rhetoric as being part of the larger or rainy and vision for the middle east, one that has been towards creating instability within the middle east and also

creating a degree of chaos that really plays into the reigning national and regional strategy of creating instability within the middle east. ok, so now we have the assembly of this new s lead a task force. what difference do you think that is likely to make or so this is not the 1st time that the red sea has been. the southern red say specifically has been the target of both piracy and instability, especially related to the conflict with israel since the 1950s. the southern red sea has been a location of instability. it's been also sources that challenges to the navigation to freedom of navigation. so this is not an old story. neither is this uh, you know, story within the whole things themselves. when things are taken numerous opportunities, the militants to a tech savvy shipping in 2015 and 16,

and to continuously threaten shipping through the southern ride. see, this is merely another case, or another example is an opportunity that with these have taken to hold that by the minds of hostage in some ways to global commerce and to global shipping. okay, so the, this new coalition is come together. i can find a defensive work and sit with these limits, the ability to actually target the ships going through the ramsey and ultimately actually plays into what the, what these want from this entire episode is international attention. local legitimacy and power train themselves is exactly, is there slogan, says mostly i'm going to come mostly. so i and that's to america, death to israel. that wants to portray themselves as warriors against the west. and that's precisely what this international coalition is. giving them on a silver platter. thank you so much for uh, guidance through that. so clearly at least i'm just actually a copy from the university.

i'm a strong health ministry guys that says more than 19000 people have been killed in the world with this ro, independent, being, verifying that figure is difficult for the us, the us and has described civilian casualties as unprecedented. you may find some of the images in the next report distressing. a counting the dead. and already gruesome job made almost impossible, but on the ground fighting. that relentless bombardment just as rarely forces in the shape tales of all the targets in children. as you can see, that's what's happened to miss south from f. 16. so it's a little children's, all part of the value is of the

human total of the fighting itself and conveyed by witnesses and by of of what the duct is repeated. blackouts mean social media is sometimes the only way to get updates. no longer able to provide surgeries at all the hospital. the hospital does no effectively a 1st aid station. hundreds of wounded now has hospital with no access to surgery. they will die from the woods. and the official total of casualties is being kept by the palestinian health ministry and garza, its latest update, said israel defensive has killed more than $19000.00 palestinians. the how must run, ministry doesn't differentiate between civilians and competence. bought has said that most of those killed women and children secretary general for this, i think united nations has backed this claim. question disappearing, united verification challenges, what he's cleared, he said it's we have had in

a few weeks, thousands of children killed. so these is what mets us, we are witnessing a killing of civilians. that is, and that allows and, and president, it's in any conflict since i am sick, that is yellow with no chance included in the official desk told of, of thousands of people who are missing, leveled off and fed dead under the rubble when, if they are recovered officials and gone, so we'll have to figure out where to bury them. symmetry is either full or inaccessible because of fighting. and on the number of bodies has been buried and mass graves. as ukraine, where i present along them is or landscape says he's that'll be wants to mobilize

as many as 500000 troops. so he hasn't yet taken a decision on the matter and end of year. a news conference in queue. yes. even tell him to say that no one knows when the war with russia will end. during a reason to trip to washington, mister device could fail to secure a congressional approval for $60000000000.00 in military funding. despite this, he said he remained confident us would not abandon its support for his country. unprecedented method that the middle east conflict is undermining international support for his country. test the no, no, some say well ukraine has been receiving our support for 2 years. and now israel is facing a significant challenge, some of the so these were the voices that we heard at the beginning of this tragedy . see that, and that is why this is definitely not having a positive impact on ukraine. number whiskey, seeds. let's get more from that correspondent mentor you said, putting it in keith and watch the events are welcome mathias. what stood out for

you. we saw a visit, the tire president here, a president. so that look pretty so, but lots of the problems that have been there. you could not to feel the energy and the power of the joke that he used to crack at press conferences before it looks like he's really under pressure this year. it's not been a very good year, could you create? and that was of course, so throughout the press conference. so we have fights and kind of the style night allies wavering on a, did the president say anything about a way out of this situation. he was very careful to not to give any prospect's blaming partly the discussion around the counter offensive for its failure because people had openly discussed ukraine strategy that might have given the russians time to prepare. so he was really careful not to say

anything specific about his prospect for the next year. he was to defy and he was still saying that you can will continue it's fight and that is a is good. the goal is have not changed that they're still working on, winning back the terry tree, a few grain to the borders of 1991 and to defeat dresser wide. so despite being a republican road buck in the us congress and victor, old on uh, in v a. u. and the same sudden, the viper, military and financial aid from those 2 areas would continue of the he said that he expects us to deliver on what they have promised. it's a package of $60000000000.00 us dollars that they had agreed upon then that the us would eventually overcome their internal political disputes in order to

make this possible. and he said the same is true for the european union that they were trying to find a way to deliver the 8 that they had already promised. he said however, that depending on that that there is worries that the elections in the us might change the picture. and that's a new us government, presumably, possibly under a trump uh that would to reject to aid ukraine, would change the pick. so that would also influence europe. so there are certainly worries in the longer to him, but he said he was confident that what had or is being agreed upon these $50000000000.00 euros and $60000000000.00 us dollars that to the, to the, that the us and the you, they would come around to deliver these so i'm, we have a recent folding number showing that the number of the training, so trust presidents, alaska has dropped. i was that evident today if

you had been asked whether the, whether the keys, he would still be able to unite the country behind him. whether you would feel that this unity um, also with regard to him uh, was slowly backsliding. and uh he kind of very defensively said, but um, if in the future the training is decide to vote for the prison, that would be the normal course of things it, let's put this sliding numbers all uh, a little bit into context them. of course, in the 1st year of the war and trusting, the president has the exception of the high with of 80 percent until around 90 percent at times and to use into the war with things the way the off the war in the state we made. it's not a big surprise that he does not reach the same numbers anymore, but that's also not a over exaggerate this difference. um there's only 12 percent or so of ukrainians who say that they do not trust the president and more than 60 percent to supporting

him. um that's more of a global number. i would say for a president as the country settled into a more let's say maybe um, less exceptional way of dealing with things in the as it settling into the long game. it's not that he has lost completely trust. thank you much this much, i said, but in case volcano has erupt it in iceland during fountains of lava, more than a 100 meters into the app. it'd be got on monday, they have the time of going to vague south west of the capital. reykjavik authorities had been expecting the interruption and had been evacuating the area. despite this, they was surprised by the interruption, size and intensity. the claims of smoke and lava on the rate can is peninsula in iceland following weeks of intense quakes.

to arrest in the nearby town of green, the vic looked on having just seeing lava emerged from the ground even if it's it in a particular confidence such as this is just fascinating. see, just nature inaction. i just, it's just like some of the fun movie. a spectacle for some below enforcement in the area is making sure people in this town stay safe. now there's our option here near grants that we and we have cleared the town and the area. and now we're just securing the area in closing every road to the area. and that's just in process now. but then we're just trying to manage the situation here by salons, coast guard as i'm highlights that release this for to adjust it. so phase

dependency led to determine the exact size of the option. iceland is no stranger to volcanoes. it currently has $33.00 active erections. that's the highest number in europe. though some of these, this seems to be a few 100 cubic meters per 2nd. this is quite a bit more than the end of ocean seen on an inch to live until now. when you're quite small in the beginning, what's the scientist say? it is still unclear how long this one will go on for june list and goes down a 6 percent, joins us from the icelandic, your capital rack. if it's welcome to dw, we just have you guys have the most of all comic activity any you are. is there anything particularly special about this latest interruption? it will be solved. so when it started last night, it started like a sort of a small orange block, pumping out of the earth and quickly became that 4 kilometer long fish. and we saw

in that report, certainly some dramatic paintings, colors of some, some dramatic strokes. so i mean, even guys, there's of lava going some 18 meters up in the air. this is close to the tunnel, kind of it gets close to what geothermal power plant. it's also close to a popular tourist destinations. the blue of all of those were possibly impacted. now, some almost 24 hours later the, the power of the russian has wayne. it's about a 4th of the strength that it was before. kilometer fisher is now down to a couple of 100 meters. the level as low as much less, it's no longer a posing a threat to infrastructure in the beloved flow is flowing away from the critical infrastructure. so it seems that we have thoughts on this one, right? i'm behind it and that will keep my fingers crossed and we had in our report, is it searching on eruptions that, that you have going at the moment? what's it like trying to live with always going on. a lovely,

certainly active volcanoes. although the area where this is roxanne happened until a couple of years ago was to be it's not in active and texting it was dormant there . we hadn't seen that option in this area for 800 years. so not monday of this. remember the last one was the lead up to interaction of this sort of it is a series of uh, earthquakes. so it didn't happen since the middle of the night. it seems like somebody is standing at the end of your bed and gives it a decent kick. any sort of jump out of bed and your fight and flight or flight the instinct and the gentleman kicks and go for your heads, tells you it's just another air. the earthquake go back to bed. it's a bit of a nuisance, but it's not much more than that for most of us. this is a spectacle tonight we have uh, what's his core called the glacier clouds in the sky. we have active on auto body. all isn't done the same goal. what's left of this direction in the background? it's quite spectacular to see quite honestly. okay,

so you're just get on with life. it's just becomes another instagram level moment. if it does a little bit on that sort of the danger it becomes in iceland, which is such an active place, you have to have a healthy amount of respect, but also a healthy amount of disrespect because otherwise you'd be constantly worried about like what might happen but uh you have to be careful the doors, me so and that report shouldn't have been there because there are costs is coming out of that. not only lava you can easily hurt yourself. you can also have injures others. that might be too risky. you don't go there. but having said that, this is the force, the direction and just over 3 years in that particular area, we've seen each one, basically bring us uh, a boat loads or a plane loads of instagram influencers of what to take of some fee. there were tried to fly, they're drawn into the, into the lava. i'd be surprised to see if this was any different indeed. the stock

price of both iceland think airlines went up quite a bit today, which probably tells you what the market aspect stopping. wow. so people on the 1st off they go, they are flying in there, they've got the photos. indeed a new, it's even for, for air travelers. it's quite interesting on what's, what's, what's like the flight rate or just the before we went down and you see the planes taking off from the international airports of the loop over the peninsula to fly over the volcano to give their passengers a bit of a bit of a view outside of the window. so that's how freaked out people are about all of this. so i know you're doing this rather aside from ologist. but what, what is it about iceland, that means that this is happening so frequently 6 licenses, uh, on 2 continental plates, which are sort of going both in this direction and a testing of park. and in the middle you have the north atlantic ridge, which is many people think we see it on top of a hotspot, which means that

a lot of comes almost directly from the magma core of the earth. and sort of films in the gulf when one becomes available. that is basically what happens. iceland was created this way. this is why we have geothermal, keep, this is why we give chico thermal power. that said what comes with that quality of life. you have to take the good with the bad or the back of the good. good, good talking to you i'm. i'm a book a flight next step 12 next year. it's at least the ink off or beyond the 6 percent in reykjavik. thank you so much. my pleasure to and that was that i can follow out to him on social media at c w use. if it's latest headlines you're looking for this, always that d, w dot com or at the temple you have a good the
