a terrorist organization by many countries. but the as really defense minister says that the military will switch tactics and start scaling back its military operations in the south of the territory. as trucks of bead enters through gauze, the southern border with egypt smoke rises over rough uh residents in the border city spent the morning looking through rubble from a strike the night before. even as israel says it will tell him down the intensity of its operations. there they say 12 of their neighbors died. a new tact is enrollment nothing. how would they at fault they were having dinner? we want peace. notable look at the destruction in the neighborhood. people were bombed by israeli strikes, well having dinner as the trails of destruction and gods expand the conditions for palestinians and the territory are deteriorating. further. israel has signaled that

the war and gods as moving into new phase, but says it's main aim to eliminate him off still remains. the military for leasing these videos of continuing operations stated to be targeting him off militants killing fighters and taking down rocket launch sites. but people here say it's civilians war bearing the brand. many of them children like 6 year old, safe. his father says his son died from shrapnel injuries after miss. i'll hit close to a school in con eunice where he was playing. so i look at the bottom of i ran out and i saw him on the ground. i called out safe, safe, but he didn't move. then i found a piece of shrapnel. it pierced his heart from one side and then it came out of his back. they tried to resuscitate him, but there was no use. safe died. the that is real,

are use that military pressure is the only way to secure the release of more than 100 hostages, still being held by him us. and despite renewed calls for ceasefire, the government says it won't stop. and when we use the new tactics to kill them, us leadership described as the head of the snake and special corresponded abraham was introduced alarm. she has more insight on the deal to help people in gaza with medical aid. france, i'm cuts are late tuesday, announced that they have reached a new deal with a between israel and how much to deliver medicine for over 100 hostages. that are still believe to be held in the gaza strip around $45.00 of them . this is an estimation, have suffer from chronic and illnesses are very,

very old and have not had presumably little they've had presumably little access to medical help. and now it's been over a 100 days of captivity. they've also had no access to the red cross has not had any access to them during their time of captivity, to check on their medical state and to give their families and give them more clear picture. but what's going on with their loved ones. this issue of the red cross has also been a very content contentious here in israel with many criticizing the red cross for not you know, well enough fulfilling its duty to check on a captive regardless of the conflict. as the red cross is a neutral party and in, in conflict. and so this news i imagine, will be very, very welcome bye hostage families have been worried sick about their loved ones since they have been taken and they need this medicine. of course,

the hospice we heard one hostage grandson said that this is, this is medication that they should have had from day one a for him interest one. thank you. see, united states says that it has headmoore who is the military targets inside them in the us says that the strikes were in retaliation for a missile attack by food. the forces on a greek on the cargo ship on tuesday. the day after the ron fact revel group struck a us ownership off the coast of yemen. the who's the said that the attacks were aimed at supporting palestinians in israel's war and gaza. and that rocket fire comes as the us announced that it has seized iranian weapons intended for the rebels. u. s. navy seals rated in vessel near the coast of somalia last week. seizing weapons, including warheads, for medium range, ballistic missiles,

and antique cruise missiles. washington says that the intercepted shipment is proof that iran is still delivering advanced and military a to the who these who are using it to attack cargo vessels traveling through the red sea, disrupting global trade. let's get more on this. i'm joined now by lars johnson. he is a shipping analyst and a founder of the consult and see if a suit you maritime. he joins us from copenhagen. thank you so much for your time this morning. how big a threat is this most recent escalation, 2 key shipping lines in the red sea. it is a clear escalation compared to what we have seen over the past months. and not so much of the attack on the greek ship yesterday that we're still in the red sea. but we've seen a couple of attacks now in the gulf of age in recent days. that is an escalation because it jeopardizes not only the route up to the swiss canal which has been disrupted for more than a months. it also jeopardizes the route that goes into the boutique which serves

$100000000.00 people in ethiopia. so there's a clear escalation in recent days. how do you see the potential for the near term economic impact? how might consumers be impacted the consumers going to be impacted? not as much as you might think. this is going to lead to delays and supply change. obviously, but it's not going to mean we have one in stock out and you're going to see must have into shields. the inflationary pressure, i think, is somewhat overrated. we are seeing freight rates escalate rapidly, of course. but they are actually nowhere near what we saw joined dependent. so what 10 companies then do to navigate the security crisis in the red sea. how. how would you be advising them with all of that in mind? yeah, for you borders, especially in say your east toes us, everyone does impacted by not going through. so i guess the easy answer right now is plan for the long hold. assume services will go around africa, likely for months, then you could be pleasantly surprised if there's di escalates,

but for now that has to be the baseline planning. what's your reaction meantime to this new red sea security task force? or these international patrol machine is going to be enough to protect merchant vessels in short, no, what we have seen is there are a couple of vessels that are being, is quoted by both friends and us movies. but overall, even with the tax from the the us in recent days, we have seen absolutely no de escalation. and i would not expect this to have any short term results. shipping analysts, lars, down. so i'm putting that into context for us. we appreciate it. elsewhere, pakistan says that our ron has violated pakistan's aerospace by launching an air strike on its territory that killed 2 children. according to the iranian state media, the attack in the border town of encore in pakistan targeted the headquarters of

the militant group. josh ida, ron has accused the group of launching terrorist attacks on iranian soil. pakistan has condemned to the iranians tried calling it a violation of pakistan's sovereignty and want of consequences or and the rock has some, and the iranian and baset are in baghdad to protest after t. ron launched, a missile strikes into northern iraq, killing several civilians. back that called the strikes a blatant violation of its sovereignty and vowed to lodge a complaint with the un security council runs revolutionary guard, so that it fire the missiles that what it said was, it is released by headquarters in air view. the seat of a rock northern semi autonomous kurdish region, destroys heating up scale area near the u. s. consulate in air bill, the capital of new, the new rock, samuel tournaments, code if region they were playing by iran, revolutionary jobs to in the ruins,

iraq's national security advisor dismissed to ron's claims that the target to be the headquarters for is wally spies. and it's regarding the claims of it being a base for israel's massage. we have looked into the place and walked around every corner of this house. and every thing indicates that it is a family home for an a rocky businessman from abil. so the claim is false with the bother. what else? we do. politicians said the house belongs to a local real estate magnet and his family. they were killed. the prime minister or the rocks could just um, region must have a buzz. donnie described the attack as a crime against the code is people speaking on the side lines of the will. he cannot make for them the both bus on he said it runs by center allegations. what baseless surprising iran is

because of using against civilians are just on, especially in that we have no animosity towards any of our neighbors especially wrong. tyrone said the attack was in response to recent is really assassinations of the rain in come on. does it didn't say students had a legitimate right to do to what it cool national securities. let's do ronald's so strong targets in northern syria that it said were linked to these nomic states terrorist group, the group claimed responsibility for twins, suicide bombings, with cute devons. as an official memorial event in iran, earlier this month, it runs a tax comments, a time of heightened tensions in the region and fee is of the widest spillover of the will between israel and ty, runs, ally hum us. and here, some other headlines from around the world, a missile strike by russia on the ukrainian city. of course, she has injured, at least 17 people. the city's mayor said that 2 missiles had

striking southern ukraine. several people were injured as the drone and dismiss all attack targeted departments and businesses. this ukranian army research team as uncovered evidence, the russian weaponry. comedy includes 4 electronics, micro chips, cameras, antennas, and processes. set that just the fluid, so everything involving hype, precision technology, taking you up, the kitchen that was confusing and high speed processing to know either. so i'm in your prints, if it's all important fits with the state of california. it's so simple just to import. that includes this white crumbs form a thought of a russian cruise missiles on board computer it's mocked made in the usa. the serial number indicates it was supplied in september 2022 well off to the will began. the us supply of why call did not respond to inquiries or explain how the pop came to

be in russia. despite stringent export regulations. ukraine's foreign minister once tied to restrictions on west and exports almost every may. so rushing me so that we should down has a detail from produced in the west. and there are hundreds of myself being shot at us. and for ukraine, west in pots in high tech, russian weapons, are a matter of life and death. nato secretary general young stolen bird has been in the posts for almost a decade due to his multiple extensions of his term. meantime, with nato's 75th anniversary coming up to be marked with a summit in washington. the consensus is that the baton should be passed on that occasion. so the race is on to replace stilton berg, but who can win the unanimous support required. the w as terry schultz has been

looking into us the place, it's been one of the most popular guessing games in brussels for years, who will replace again. stilton burge, the norwegian nato chief, has been asked to stay on his head of the western military alliance. 4 times, once, even after he'd already accepted another job, it is time for nato leaders to find a good candidate. it's really important that a choice is made early enough and that it is the link from both the european union elections and the campaign for the united states elections. just why the alliance has been unable to find a suitable replacement is not exactly clear in part because there is no official procedure for doing so. there has been an unofficial list of desired qualities, experience as a head of state or government of

a country with robust defense spending from a southern or eastern ally and preferably finally, a woman. many names have come up and gone down. currently let be in foreign minister, christiana is current. as tony and prime minister kind of goal is and outgoing does prime minister mark route you all want the job which is gradually emerged as the clear favorite. a c for choice with must goes more on ukraine, dominating the alliance agenda. there is the sense that of having somebody from the baltic states to, to be at the state to be somehow got the productive short term full. and it's difficult to see what exactly then the problem is because the relations with russia are frozen at this point, in that case, mark, which is reportedly the only candidate who has been discussed by nato ambassadors. and while this all takes place behind the scenes, kind of call is, is making clear. she's notice that what used to be considered the desire qualities

. and a new leader which she fulfills seem to have changed. take a look. it should definitely be from a country that has spent to 2 percent of the gdp on defense. it would be nice if it uh would be a woman. so it's logically smart for it that estonia is defense. spending will reach 3 percent of g d p. well, the netherlands won't quite hit nato's target of 2 percent. the nato dynamics are so closely watched that this exchange between a huge and call us at a european union summit lead to suggestions. he may have been using the opportunity to build consensus for the job on the other side of town. we asked. no, no, no, no, no, no. but it's not only european support, a new nato secretary general will need with us elections looming. there is still the question of picking someone who could adapt to a variety of possible outcomes in washington. and some of those outcomes could be

very challenging, politically for europe. yeah, stilton bank are into the title of the trump whisper. how? because you were so successful at manage and then us presidents, distain for nato, and route to m a already have an advantage there. should it become necessary? we've become friends over the last couple of years. and, but even though speculation has gone on for years inside or say it's still too early to predict the outcome, nothing is decided until everything is decided. the one thing that does seem certain is against oldenburg will finally get to leave the post as the 2nd longest serving nato secretary general. so far, the meantime, the transition to a greener economy is a central theme at this year's world economic forum. us climate on hawaii, john terry kicked off the discussions on that front. terry predicted that the transition toward clean energy would not be interrupted regardless of who wins this

year's us elections. he also praised the china for the speed of its renewable energy rollout, and he said that the world already has the knowledge needed to reach climate goals . we today have valuable technology to actually live up to our requirement by 2030. we're just not deploying it fast enough today who is deploying it fast enough as a place called china, which is deploying more renewables and manufacturing more renewables than all the rest of the world put together. and i guarantee you that the amount of renewable they are now already deployed. we, even though they may not have changed it publicly, is going to have an impact on the date that they pete. a quick reminder now, the tough stories that we are following for you. guitar and friends have broken a new deal for gaza. guitar says the agreement with the delivery of humanitarian aid and medical supplies to civilians into the cause of stress,
