[000:00:00;00] the business dw news live from balance does not make state tara group says it's carried out. wednesdays, bombings that killed schools any rock more than 80 people died and to bump last set of memorial event for a top general to himself was killed in the us drunk stripe, 4 years ago. also coming off of boss that sits elite is buried in 11006 and the funeral of sally, i will read who is believed to have been killed. but is there any striking thoughts?

rushes new width and in its will on ukraine. the white house says most go has begun using north korean and ballistic missiles as it intensifies atkinson, i guess to crank the i'm good. how about those 2 of us on cbs in the united states or wherever you are. welcome to the program. the so hold islamic state has claimed responsibility for an attack on a ceremony in iran that kills more than 80 people. the type of group made the announcement on the messaging service telegram. it said 2 of its members were responsible for 20 explosions that commemorations of top come on the custom. so the money who was assassinated by us drone in 2020 it's all it's, that's all on the job as a political scientist was,

i think tax center for me at least and blowed up. i asked him how credible is mountain states claim of responsibility appears to him. well, this is a very good question. i mean, it could well be that these nomic states josh, has been behind this terror attack given most of the kind of confessional conflicts, which pitts at the summit states, an extremist on your organization, against the sonic republic, which is a she, a entity. so in this particular concepts, it would of course, make perfect sense. but then again, another possibilities that he saw me, the stage is claiming that it has been behind discharge. so i talked to portray it's strengths um, but the beads as it may um there is a given the past experience as also, you know, we had other tower attacks that were attributed to these on the states. but the truth of the matter is that there was very little

a likelihood that we will have some started to about the perpetrators of this attack. because um, um, there will be no due process. i believe in identifying the culprits. talked about the identify the conferences around supreme the diets, a lot of the home in a, a set the attack us will face a, quote hoff response. though he didn't point to any possible suspect, but kind of risk problems. uh, could he mean, as well as the solid public has placed the same thing 4 years ago after it the us strong kidding. of a general sort of money that the us will face to face. um i quote hot revenge. uh but we didn't see it. so it's uh, absolutely unclear what the sound republic uh will do. uh, because also these attacks are happening in the context of uh, you know, um,

difficulties for the region inside and outside of its borders. so it could well instruments and always these attacks to further secure, at times the domestic arena with double election on the horizon on march 1st for the parliament. and the assembly of experts was going to select the next supreme leader for which jersey knows that they're going to be uh, probably a very low voter turnout. so um, this may be uh, you know, the connection domestically an extremity the, some of the public has been dell of some importance blows very recently with the killing of not only rudy and baby boots but also a week of the a of a top r g c commander in syria probably by the hands of these ro. so in any case, whoever might be the perpetrator of this attack, i'm quite sure. and if you look at the run in that state narrative that the some of

the public is surely going to instruments lies, it's for its own purposes. now that it has been some speculation that israel may have been behind the attack income on be randy and backed, has blood group and lebanon has been engaged in low level fighting with these rel, since october 7th. how great do you think is the risk that it will escalate? as well as, according to the iranian state narrative um, uh, the sonic states uh, has been, uh, actually invented by as well in the united states. so, um, uh, all of this, it's very well with the kind of your, uh, i mean, narrative. uh, but it is very unlikely that these are, it has been to pub to try to. but because of those, the pattern of these rarely attacks in your run have been a whole different one is really has been a targeting regime military and nuclear infrastructure is and has been showing away from not uh, you know, uh,

not very clearly targeting those infrastructures and so such a terrace subtract that has been, you know, seen a witness with victims, again, no casualties and much civilians will only be kind of productive for israel. so i think you know, is what it is very unlikely to be a to have been behind this particular a talk. you. thank you very much. all the pothole in the jump that thank you was in the roots of how the funeral for how much deputy lita, who was killed in an explosion on tuesday. so it really was considered a key figure in the group that carried out the deadliest tara at the time in israel's history. on october 7th, the was its deputy political leader and the co founder of its military wing, ruby and 2 other homeless members relate to arrest the lebanese cons. the 11th

militant has blog group blames israel for the assassination, although there has been no claim, but for responsibility bought it is really officials have previously said they would target hamas leaders wherever they are. waiving the most flag protest is in ramallah voice. the supports entangled this evening and the occupied westbank was a certain town of sell a ruling high ranking. some official was killed in a striking bay roots on tuesday. well, natalie got into the cause is crazy. hysterical revenge. you know, need the preventative is israel field and that he and is experiencing a kind of defeat. oh no, i'm in the mail. it knows full well. yeah, there's no victory for it. yeah. and that they so 90 got mean and decided la sala, rory was deputy to have mazda is, lita is smell honey a and the groups kaylee a's on with has the law in lebanon since

a raise assassination in the suburbs of a root israel and has the law has continued to fire at each other across the border, and almost daily occurrence since israel's war with him off began the lebanese political party and militant group is backed by ron, and considered a terrorist organization by the us, germany and some sunni arab countries. israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the strike on a route, but less than a securities also said it was caused by an is riley dry and has blah has vowed to retaliate calling it a serious assault on living on the fact that while i get the enemy, he thinks of waging on 11 and, and they then say, well, we will fight without restoring tools without leaves, without letting me eyes. then without restrictions. yes. well knows what i mean. he's rouse main ally,

the us who said it was nursing homes before the blasting beverage said washington is now urging restraint to tape the wall contained just want to before. we don't want to see it. why beyond israel and am awesome again, we're going to keep working with partners in the region to prevent that from that. has the law has so far refrained from escalating beyond board. a skirmish is with these ro, visa tac in the hoss of lebanon has raised fees of an all out war. and these riley army says it's on high alert and ready for any scenario. let's dig a little bit deeper with shiny. uh there was honest with me in the studio here. um, at least out of this tiny, this strike, it was against the deputy how mosley, the but it wasn't, it has blood dominated neighborhood in, in lebanon that so for the has been no major retaliation from, from has. but what do you make of that?

well, just to show you the complexity of the, the, the dynamics when we talk about alliances, you know, we talk about how much is lions 11 and it has all the forces that is with iran. but then this iran, his policy of proxy. uh, it's not the wrecked line when it comes to how much that is a sweep aust offshoot. they are committed to the fight for the palestinian cause, but they are not. they are well aware of the fact that bringing in lebanon into the 5, which to israel says, is, israel does not differentiate from a smaller from level under that aspect. when it's attacks from the been on the way it's going to, it's threatening, it's going to attack again against the root so far has the furnace trauma for his viola to be attacking israel fiercely. 4 mos cause this is a test. so they're put into, are they, how far are they going to go with this alliance? and we're seeing so far that the beth israel has taken probably israel has taken in going for every, assuming that his bottle will be a sort of a moderate or,

or can contain his there its response. both sides can contain the response with that escalation. so far it seems to be seemed to be a safe bet we need to keep in mind. this is just so far, i'm sure his bottle will, will find more ways to show it's responsive. but just to show, you know, putting pressure into this alliance that we know already was kind of tension under, under pressure because there was no coordination about and, and pre knowledge of his by about the attack. by how much we know that by now very interested in your, the power dynamics in, in, in old days. now this we is israel has, let's draw on. some of its troops from gaza. is that part of a launch? a shift in strategy could be c increasingly see how mosley this being targeted outside of gaza and less sort of conventional for engulf while it is really permanent. so said it himself, the head of them aside, repeated that again. they see all of how much has anybody involved in the october

2nd attack as, as person that is deemed to be, you know, on their target list. it's nothing new in that aspect, but it is true that it's much more of a tangible achievement for israel to get than anything that we're seeing now in gaza in the last 90 days. exactly. today we've seen this rail trying, striving for meaningful strategic achievements in gaza. and it's not capable to break actually, how much has control over the territory, not yet. so aiming at the heads of come us in a way, makes it a bit easier to break this. somewhat vague, uh, goal of eradicating him off as a rule work or, you know, getting rid of how much that goes, putting the, the goal exactly at the heads of homeless and chasing them wherever they are. that's a bit easier to sell and maybe to achieve. i know you said 90 days ago a today and to ninety's really cabinet we'll be talking about how they were going to deal with the guns and strip off to the war and to ministers. the of the government that's called soul plus doing is to leave gaza and that res fee is of

a forced expulsion. is that the road the government is expected to go for really? well, 1st of all it's it's, it's quite striking. it took a leisurely government, 90 days because how do you start a, an operation without knowing your end goal? you know, part of the pressure for this discussion is coming from the military saying we need to know where we're heading. and so finally, it's happening that talks about exposure and, you know, of palestinians that's always some sort of a wet dream of the white. it was the extreme right. and israel, and now they're being more and unabashedly allowed with this with this aspiration, of course, that the american supporters of israel are against that. of course, the international community is against that. it's also a part of you the core of the problem between israel and the palestinians. what happens to the refugees? what happened to all those palestinians that are still a few days for so many years? partially because the world does not wanna help israel solve the policy and problem in a way by getting rid of the refugees sort of saying refugees. all of pals thing is

they need to be finding their solution within part of the greatest solution for the israeli palestinian conflict. so that these talks are probably not realistic, nothing else that he does not support that. what does he support? that's the big problem. israel has said mostly what he does not want to see in gaza and it's finding it's very difficult to view and what it is wanting to see. and also the day after they don't want to to the palestinian authority. they even not they even you revised reform to one that the americans are trying to concord they don't want to see is really settlements being rebuilt. their, they don't want to keep the military there for too long. what do they want? they're very limited in their options. there are some talk of, i think the local clans, local families that will try to take over many experts say it's not a very realistic chance of, of, of, of fulfilling the goals for as well to bring safety into that part of, of, of the world. yet to be seen, garza is not a problem going away so. so that seems to be for sure. i'm at least unless johnny

was honest, i thank you. oh my god, to us secretary of state and it blinks him, is heading to the middle east again within the next few hours. it's his 4th trip since home us launched a large scale tara attack on his route. the w correspondence benjamin over his group and is in washington, then follows the story for us benjamin's what is blinking hope to achieve this time . there will be several stops here, but what's more interesting than the country is that he's visiting. so he's visiting a lot of allies out of actors in the region. we have turkey, grease, jordan, katara, united auto payment rates. so do you re be, of course israel in the west bank and also egypt is the fact that he's not going to 11 on which is spoken about that. the fears that they asked as a nation of this a month later might lead to a broader confrontation. so it's interesting that he's not going there. today. that was a briefing off the state department. the spokes person sat that they have several

issues on the agenda that they expect also to have tough clothes with many of his other counterparts. they will speak about how to get more age you money to in 8 into gaza. they will speak about the hostages. also what will happen after the war, so that will be several. it talks here on the agenda because will blink and also the criticism get on washington is increasing with more and people saying and multiplication. so you're saying that the us need to put real red lines and not just a putting out statement saying that they are deeply concerned, but actually it putting more headlines, for example, for weapons exports for israel. now about the future of the, of the gaza strip. uh, the, the state department has hardly criticized the 2 is really ministers for calling published indians to leave gaza. do you think that he will reinforce the message? that's that's what the spokesperson said. today we have this press release only a few days ago, criticizing executive. the statements of the 2 is rarely minutes. so say you said

you would say department sat that they are disagreements between israel and the united states. and also that the us rejected the inflammatory new responsible statements from the government. so that will be definitely something that they'll talk to with there is rarely counterparts to see how to go further. we have to remember that the us is right now bypassing congress to get weapons a to israel. that's something also that is raising concerns here. so he will be sure to press that also with ease rather, and also with the other a partners, debra. we know that the us is not happy with the way that these is a developing, and they will have hard words with these really counter positive what the state department spokesperson said earlier today. now the good will also be in the west bank to talk to the palestinian authority. what will be as message that he met the president of the police send, you know, for, and i'll make game of the policy in, you know, for it is a very made him in november

a. they spoke about the violence against settlers in the west bank and also that is important if for them to reassure that the us remains committed to advancing time people steps for a palestinian state. and that's something that the u. s. has repeatedly sat that does, that is all this daniel will remain posting. and that's something that he will need to talk to not only with is rarely politicians, but also with a policy. and you know, for these that you will meet in the west benjamin of iris group and that for us in washington. thank you. benjamin of russia has been ramping up. it's at complaint against ukraine recently launching some of its biggest strikes since the beginning of its full scale invasion. the white house, as russia now has a new weapon, north korean ballistic missiles. our information indicates that the democratic people's republic of korea recently provided russia with ballistic missile launchers, several ballistic missiles. on the 30th of december, 2023 russian forces launched,

at least one of these north korean ballistic missiles into ukraine. dismissal appears to have landed in the open field in his aperture region. and on january 2nd, russia launched multiple north korean ballistic missiles into ukraine, including as part of his overnight aerial attack. we're still assessing the impacts of these additional missiles from all this development. we have time to marina morono joins us from munich. she's a defense analyst with kings college, atlanta, marina. but now he has begun with russia launching some of it's most intense strikes since the start of the invasion. what role can the north korean ballistic missiles play now? good evening gerhardt. well, um, obviously for russia, it makes a lot of sense to buy north screen ballistic missiles because it constrains since the arsenals of russia already has. and it might be faster and cheaper to book your ballistic missiles from north korea and then making them domestically. and

specifically, with this new way able strikes that we're seeing for russia, it makes a lot of sense to get missiles from elsewhere so that it doesn't have to expand its own missiles. and obviously there, there are also speculations across you might be soon getting some from a ryan as well. yes, the white house also said that russia is preparing to do uh just that. uh, is that a further escalation? what, what do you make of that? as well, i think for ukraine obviously is this is bad news. i mean we've seen the north korean ammunition as early as june, 23 actually ukrainian armed forces claim to have seized russian spots of north korean ammunition artillery munition for grad launchers. however, now this is a step further getting short range ballistic missiles from a ran getting ballistic missiles from north korea. it's not,

it doesn't just mean that russia will be able to continue it strikes on ukraine. it also means that north korea and iran are benefiting from this financially. they're currently on the sanctions in this way. they can run up their military production, was it, which is disconcerting for international security in general. now, currently and as we've been here left, right, the center, the, the goal seems locked in a stalemate. will these weapons this additional supply of weapons that, that russia opened up? will that make a difference? well, it could push as a countries to provide more air defenses to ukraine because this is what frustrates trying to do, essentially, to deplete up to destroy ukrainian air defenses in order to gain air superiority. the problem is that, um, both the us and the european union failing to agree on the specific numbers that they will be providing to ukraine and, and that's

a problem is also the global supply chain and the able ability of those and munitions needed by the ukranian armed forces, so even if money is provided, the material might not be there. so regardless of the decisions, we shall see how it will unfolds and what the west will be able to provide to create what will be willing to provide to you for you are in up there on the from london kings college. thank you very much. marina. thank you for having me. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. in the us has confirmed it carried out an s trying to in iraq, which killed a high ranking, come on to of the wrong backs groups. the us has been retaliating against recent attacks on its basis in iraq and syria. municipal group supported by ron, have stepped up,

along the road on the way through which email indicating that regardless of what route these emergency vehicles try to take, that they still end up encountering obstacles. the reason that they're encountering these obstacles is because they're been in numerous land slides, enormous cracks of rupture, many of the roads that lead to the cities. and that's why it remains really difficult to get any type of assistance to these regions. again, when we arrived in which eva we went to one of the, the main supermarkets. and one of the work is that said that they were having to continue to russian goods for the city. the cities residence because supplies remain so low. a denmark screen market a it's a has made have final public's appearance before stepping down on january 14th, the 83 year old road through copenhagen and a carriage from the residence to parliament. she would hold
