the israel, how mazda, of all threatened to escalate the by the administration has been growing increasingly vocal and it's cold for israel to do more to prevent civilian casualties in gaza. is around now says it will drill down forces in the territory, but build that be enough to secure continued us. suppose i'm go have, i was in berlin and this is the day the still has a significant force by here and we'll apply maximum power with maximal precision that we were that's new to the american people continue to stand with israel until when we see this great nation, restore the peace and security that you enjoyed before october. so that is absolutely attainable goal for the israeli military forces to,

to degrade and defeat a mazda his abilities to conduct attacks inside israel. but also coming up ukraine denies the war against it's russian invaders. is that a style much about this little movement on the front lines. and one reason for that is quite to the name of the army should die. lemme is the ukraine only you have, it gets what it needs to 10 and a symmetrical situation into a symmetrical one. but to little to actually drawing the russians to enter into negotiations with a single ticket 20 problem and will welcome to the show us secretary of state antony blinking is heading to the middle east again for bill be his 4th visit. so the region since home off launched a large scale terrorist attack on his route on october the 7th last year. since then, israel has taken the war to how mazda ends up in response. the photo out from that

wall continues to threaten. why the conflict in the region is well set on monday it was regrouping its forces in gauze on and will change the way it's fighting. hum us, which is seen as a terrorist organization by the us, the you and many others and statements towards the end of last year. the us cold on israel to do more, to prevent civilian casualties in god's hold into a most controlled authorities that, that was now killed more than 22000 people bought the 1st statement from the white house in the new year show continued support for as well as will goals and gaza, the destruction of how most smooth militarily being high on that list is national security council spokesman john covey. we have estimates low to put the numbers out there right now because they are just estimates. but uh, but am, i still has a significant force posture and so i guess we believe that it is absolutely

attainable goal for the israeli military forces to, to degrade and defeat a mazda is abilities to conduct attacks inside israel. they, they can, it can be done militarily, are you going to eliminate the ideology? no, and are you likely going to erase the group from existence? probably not. but can you eliminate the threat that i'm off poses to these really people? absolutely. and telling me now is so long left he worked for 7 consecutive is really prime ministers between 19902016. and he's gone through with the atlantic council and joins us from joe's and welcome to the day. now the us as questions is rarely tactics and gaza, but what it is they're all have been able to use the force it has without the backing of us in the 1st place. a bit to me with your job, you know, i get hard tonight. um i initially i think did you know the idea free bound good

after the atrocities off it was telling me no no fell back on uh much better for anything that had initially been it was caught by surprise. but i think later it's um, it would've been very difficult 1st impossible, sir, is also mounted. the effort that we've seen and gone on without the, you know, the close the assistance, the united states, we've seen over $200.00 plains of munitions coming to restock us. really arsenals we're seeing the support united states has provided the security council to push back against resolutions of i've called for an immediate cease fire. so i think um, you know, it's pretty clear right now that's uh, you know, there right now the united states and there's also see a line to list as far as the campaign is concerned. and then the goal of defeating saw switch across the united states and much of europe, which has defined awesome terrorist organizations. now let's see what is on a shared interest of almost barnes. now israel says it's changing its tactics now with the reduction of troops. the actually in gauze and a shift of tactics which should reduce civilian casualties among palestinians.

how's that shift come in time to prevent president biden from rethinking his approach to support for israel. i mean those, those channels of communication are open on the cost of basis. it would appear so i think we've seen um, you know, we've seen comments coming out of washington suggesting that it has been receptive to their concerns. as you say, the claimant is moving to out to the next stage test. they've defined it now, you know, that's how many of the service to being rotated out. and um, as i was moving some more to precision operations within, within the gaza strip. obviously american concerns that were voiced on the issue of trying to keep going to bands. and keep them away from the fighting and to increase the 1000000000 aid. some were heard by his role as well. you know, there was a push back to about the extent to which you know, that could happen in the world. and obviously, you know, concerns that have, if you a tap was open to for that could actually help actually sustain some awesome power

. but i think that, you know, those concerns are being, are being for here. and i think it's probably safe to say that again, i've space, there's always there really with them. you know, that is also moving onto this to this next phase of the campaign, which hopefully gonna be a little more. yeah, yeah let's, let's look into the future. a bit, a kind of should israel formulate what kind of deal it wants with the palestinians off to this was old as well. we see a lot of resistance. always say it's having discussion was israel i'm with, you know, it's really physicals partners about the proverbial day after i'm actually tonight, the security cabinet. i think i me and the workshop in both cabinets will be meeting toxic. have that and their central discussion at least on the dates that they've publicized. um, i mean, it would be virtually inconceivable. certainly in terms of as well as planning and then for, you know, as partners that are on site that, that conversation would not happen. i think that, you know, there's a, there's definitely a need for as well to start talking about not only what it doesn't want in terms of the future about the, you know, what, what challenging that's on the ground, what kind of arrangements it does say moving forward to be able to,

to maintain stability and security in that area. i think that if they were not doing that, that would create a danger because vacuum that you know, that nobody would want to see. and you know, for them does take us places we, nobody wants to go, i'm sure that those, you know, those issues will take a little factor prominently and secondary blinking stocks when he visits is wrong actually. now let's take a quick look as a personalities the president by and has been a staunch supporter of as well as is a code wishful over the course of his career. but county is really rely on such strong boxing from us politicians in the long term. a present binding, remarkable allies, right. so, um, you know, as you say, well, we were talking earlier about pushing back against the calls for an immediate cease fire in gaza right now. which of, and brought some price to the security council. i mean, that would leave over a $150.00 gas constant just because i would be it's on us and power and gaza. you know, one been promises that they made or pledges to repeat the events of october 7th until, you know, is over and destroyed. so, so, um, you know, so that, that's been,

keeps important as well. i think it's even more, more extraordinary under the political circumstances, but given the political circumstances in which we operate, i mean, president biden is on the customer in the middle of the $20.00 to 2024 election campaigns is israel policy is not all that popular wizard in certain quarters or his party, i'm, you know, so he's got to do this and force of conscience. and of course, you know, his belief that this is the right thing from united states. i mean, even one has been pushed back. so, you know, i don't think that um, everything is all can be certain that his successor in his chair would uh, you know, would maintain the level of support that is what i've seen from him on a personal level now. so but benjamin netanyahu, he is a device if they are in israel to digit the traditional re phones. okay? so in point, israel needs to focus more on national security in the future than politics. as you have written, kind of do that with an engineer who it's usually important flashed in. um, i think that's uh, you know,

the uni unity of purpose that we see that as well. during this campaign, i'm is under threat, as you say, again from sort of partisan wins um, judicial for mailing us that are a former back on the table. again, they were a couple of supreme court rulings this week which for us that but it's a bunch of the frame um we've had to dispute the budgeting priorities with the sort of patronage issues being fed into the budget and the timing that as i was trying to fund that expensive. busy or, you know, there are a lot of questions about whether or not this was capable of doing that. clearly, as long as it does not get a handle on that problem and does not prioritize national security over these political issues. i think that, you know, it invests undermining the solid building that will allow for this campaign to continue. i think it would probably also joins the question the sustainability of this government coalition over time. and it's, you know, at the time when you say there's divisiveness and there's no and then you know, people will not now be willing to uh, to evaluate them. again, the circumstances such as those and now is we're looking at is arouse

a deep alliance with the us that is still couldn't currently has, which could of course change depending on who is at the top. the in the us does is we're all really have any alternative to this. this friendship is support uh, within from the united states. sure. uh, not really, i would argue and you know, the article making sure that i just wouldn't. lastly, i think that's, you know, we're, we're, as we've seen other parties in the middle east maybe had to go back. so the russians with the chinese, i don't, i don't think that's really a viable option for his throat. no budging, and mosque out in support of those of mice they've been pushing back against, you know, is those priorities and the security council, they certainly will not be delivering the levels of aid which you know, as well as in july. and as it seems to me that it states that evolved this campaign to continue. so, i mean for the time, but the time being for the sale, the future, i don't think that you know, as well as another viable washington. so lines with united states now a settlement event. thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us.

pleasure, be with you. now the eyes of the well, the of course currently focused on the middle east, but the war in ukraine is also raging on russians. military began to year by launching some off as most intense strikes on the ukraine cities since the invasion . nearly 2 years ago, your current president followed him is the landscape says, his country has been hit by hundreds of missiles in recent days. russia for his ball to choose his key of selling the boat, a city of bedrock, killing at least $25.00 civilians. that despite the intensive 5 hostilities, observe a sight as badly any movement on the front line. let's take a look at why the war has booked down. these are images from the telegram channel of ukraine's 3rd assault brigade. they show a slow and brutal war between russia and ukraine, high and casualties, and slow and movement. but the,

the front line and ukraine's east has hardly budged. some military analysts say the current stalemate because ultimately to russians, advantage russian forces are dug in behind. a fortress of tank traps, mine fields, and other obstacles. the red on the map marks russian positions along the front. satellite images indicate that russian troops are reinforcing these areas. more than $8000000.00 land mines are estimated to be buried there. the ukrainian army has not been able to find a way through, and they are dependent on supplies of western munitions. these have been slow and coming. ukrainian soldiers have to rush 155 millimeters shells accumulation in their defense. just as the name of the army should die lemma is the ukraine, only you have it gets what it needs to 10 and a symmetrical situation into a symmetrical one. but to little to actually drive the russians to enter into

negotiations with the sequence it gets when people recognize the problem into another winter, a war is settling in over ukraine, like the last one. its cities and infrastructure are under air attack. american made f sixteens are on their way, but you cranium. pilots, still need training. ukraine hopes they can challenge russian fighters in the sky. on the ground, ukraine's air defense is in better shape. s a. m p t units from france, iris t from germany. patriot from the u. s. anti aircraft tags such as the german gap can fend off drone attacks. both sides are making extensive use of these on crude aerial vehicles. limited and if you see now, but each side knows what the other is doing because of the use, especially of many of the strains that we have,

what many have referred to as the future. so called transpired and battlefield. that's is what happens on the battlefield. each site immediately has an idea of what's happening for ukraine to take the offensive. it will need more weapons from its western partners. otherwise, russia's numerical superiority has a good chance of simply waiting out the stalemate. for more analysis on this, that's across the case and bringing the above symbol, it's got the she's an expert in hybrid wolf and who runs a military consultancy and has advice ukrainian government. now you have described your expertise as rushing the hybrid threats before we get into the details. can we brush up on the terminology? what does hybrid wolf in town? and thank you so much. first of all to for having me here today. um, when we speak about uh, hybrid square for we speak about the whole complex of interference, including this information in cyber attacks, attacks, economical interference,

political corruption, and other means. so what other main of these non military threats that ukraine is facing? country of course we do face um very different best uh, cyber attacks. um, but i would say that these information is the major threats for our population. if we are not speaking about military means, because russia is trying to do more, no lies our society to make us basically to surrender distress, fatigue not only within our society, but also within um, our partners, our elyse across the world. it can you give us an example of what most most co is doing to disseminate misinformation and how this may be a risk getting you credit the national security or were you since any ukraine?

uh, we have a lot of different messages, but where people exchange information, for instance, vibrant telegram and telegram is absolutely not secure, were messenger. it's very easy to get there. and it's very easy to run different different telegram charts or groups where people take new strong and unfortunately in the ukraine telegram is the 1st source of information for our people. and this uh, telecom trucks, uh what telecom channels there are anonymous. uh there the telecom doesn't have any uh, security standers, any community defenders. so basically anyone can run them and there are a lot of these information there on vibrant. there is a different type of uh, interference, for instance, just one simple example. ukrainians get there in different charts, for instance,

people who lost their loved ones, those who were killed or those who were maced on the buckle field and people get together and it's very easy to into trade, those vibrant trusts. and i, so i participated in some of these charts and they saw that some unknown features were trying to provoke people to go and protest to go against authority or against the government. for instance, to go and block the routes where western weapons coming on. so there are a lot of different types of how russian, this information machine can interfere ukrainian society and do more a license to make people think that we are losing or to make people think that our government is not protecting us. so of course, as you say, the ukrainian government is, is also engaging in these tactics and does it,

does it? what do you say? because it's above controlling the narrative of this full, what do you would say uh, would you say is most skillful in controlling this narrative, russel ukraine. i would say that the ukraine, ukraine, ukrainian government controls the narrative. uh, simply because we understand where the crap is coming from the fillets every day. just the last, you know, 5 days rest, so long more than 500 missiles and 10 trunks on us. so it's uh, uh, easier for us to understand where it's russian does information when we know when we feel physically the threat. but in other countries uh, in the, in the societies of our elyse. sometimes it's not that easy because there are a lot of different narratives that brussel sprouts, for instance,

narratives about you cream and correction, or ukraine and the refugees. all these, all these narratives make people feel that the world last too long. and it's time to ended and some people in the see some piece class or some peace negotiations of us is not an option for now because we still have solid and suppression troops and now with terra 3. and the main precondition for the peace talks would be getting out the russian troops, russian forces from a territory the high brit wolf accidentally with c both. scott, thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. a thank you. i re, i called the number of people headed from south america towards the us border last in facing disease and violence along the way. and a per realtors jungle crossing it takes days to walk through the darian gap.

hundreds kilometers of jungle between columbia and palm on many of those making the trip of children who sometimes lose that parents along the way, an estimated $500000.00 people for the violence and poverty in the homelands make the crossing in 2023 dw spoke with a few of them. this is by how to quito panama. first community were migrants arrive after walking for about a week through the jungle of the diarrhea and got hundreds of people arrived here every day. the villagers pick them up in canoes, not any left her home and venezuela with her husband 3 children and in lots they spent some time in peru before deciding to make the track north towards the usa. the trip to the jungle was brutal. she says they saw the terrible things. what can

mean, most of the people here tell us that on the columbia inside they are guides who takes them through the jungle. the guides will also carry backpacks and provide medicine. they charged $350.00. for some, it's a price worth paying on kind of close to us. and i said, all the costs are sometimes quite high. they provided us with security all the way to the border of them from the columbia and border into panama, mounted after the military barracks, is where we had problems. we were assaulted in. we'll see the bellows, the canoes, leaving baffled takito. navigate for hours to the next migration reception station . their agents check their bags to confiscate dangerous objects and weapons, the conditions in the camp or better thanks to the increased presence of
