and the doctor, so in the clouds that it's time to, to us. and then when generations class this week on d. w. in the past 48 hours of ron and pakistan if carried out ears drawings on each other's territory, cross border strikes, allegedly targeting hostile militant groups. officially, these are not 2 countries attacking each other. so why this apparent military tit for tat and why is pakistan? recall, defend basket from a rod. why has his mom a bunch of splendid, all high level visits from tehran tonight, a region of the world that has long been a powder keg? is this a new spark? i broke off in berlin. this is the day i or the

morning pockets on and the 2 can see these of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision, military strikes against terrorist, how high dogs and says donald, for those just on probing all feet on. so these attacks including stuckey stand in iraq and iran. you have also with this type of lising ethics on the region. our region does not need to more problems and conflicts just shows just how dangerous the situation is in the wider middle east. also it coming out to the far right and you have the political party is now germany's 2nd most popular party that is just one of the reasons thousands of people are protesting the rise of the far right. and i think it is the duty of all of us to be hit today against the if the against hatred and rabble rousing hits the most of those. we know that the f d is already quite popular nationwide in germany. and it's important to stand up

against fascism against anti democratic ideas against nazi ideas on the door, viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with a run in pakistan, and they are tit for tat air strikes against each other. on thursday, pakistan launched a series of attacks by air aimed at what it says are militant hideout inside the ron. the strides were also in retaliation for a rainy and attacks just a day earlier on what t ron claims is a terrorist group hide out inside pakistan. the official targets and both attacks or military or terrorist groups. but that is only part of the story here. pakistan has called it's in bassett or into ron home, a former pakistani foreign minister said to the that pakistan had the choice. but to answer iran to show a force with a show of force of its own villagers assessing the damage. this

footage appears to show the aftermath of the pakistani strike on the rounds border region. your ran in state media say at least 9 people were killed there on thursday . is lama, but has confirmed it carried out the attacks this morning focused on and it took a series of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision. military strikes against terrorist holly high adults and says donald, but it was just on probing of feet on a number of terrace, or killed during the intelligence based operation. the strikes in the ran in border region offices done in baluchistan. our a response to a runs attacks inside pac is down earlier this week. take run, said he to separate his group, which threatens it, security, to teach it as a spot. none of the nationals as a friendly and brotherly country of practice done with targeted by themselves and

drones of iran. there is this group beat on the so called gish out of which is an iranian terrorist group ticket and they have taken shelter in some provinces. but that inside pack is done as manual or purchased on the exchange of strikes has sparked a diplomatic crisis. islam about we called it some fast so they were to run and stopped to use a rainy encounter. part from returning to pack has done like his down scared ticket prime minister and the bar will have cut car cut shorts. his visit to the world economic forum and davos is advanced on fold regional powers have ers to come from both sides. both gave me that off as a sort of all region does not need more problems and conflicts. now we see that the war in garza unfortunately escalates regional tensions. we saw this tension reflected in 11 on yeah, syria, iraq, young and the persian gulf and of the red sea. in addition to all this,

unfortunately, we have been closely following developments between pakistan and iran over the last 2 days with consent approval. i get it submitted today. and it said that you all can. that's how it can be viewed as well. officials trade accusations protesters have taken to the streets of islam about to denounce the strikes on pakistan's territory. there say an attack in nuclear arms buck is done. would be dangerous for the whole world. what do the strikes between pakistan and iran mean for the region and for the rest of the world? the joining me now is getting steinberg from the german institute for international and security affairs. we've spoken numerous times about the g, u, a politics of the greater middle east region. indeed it was good to see you again, pakistan and the wrong. are these 2 countries that are headed for more or no, i don't think so. both sides have made clear that they don't see the attacks as a tax on the neighboring country,

but rather as upsides on terrorists or by little cheese separate has been in the other in the other country. so i don't think there is any danger for an escalation between these 2 countries. now, a former pakistani foreign minister told us earlier today that pakistan had few if any options other than to respond with force. do you agree? yes, yes, i think so. i think you know, the focused on the government and especially the army, was. busy surprised by this attack, in fact, this is the wrong that attacking a nuclear on the may, but nobody could have suspected that this was about to about to happen. so in the, in the logic off the nation states in the world, i think it's, it's plausible to such an a ronnie and attack on park his tiny territory. warranted

parts are strongly built. it for you. yeah. you to you, you bring it, but a very important point here, pakistan is a nuclear power. what does that tell us about a role and considering that a ron was willing to provoke pakistan with a military strike as well? uh, i think uh that, that the wrong is a so it has become extremely sense confident. uh, in recent weeks and months uh, its prophecies uh in the gaza strip in the, in the iraq and syria and in yemen have now attacked a wide range of different targets. and also iran is partially responsible because it provides all these proxies with drones, with cruise misfired, so with ballistic describes that has not been any really treatment response. and i think that's part of the reason why you wrong things in it. come get away with an attack even on how to stop it. what do we know about these middle of instead of

running pakistan targeted with these air strikes when we no longer have quite a bit about the volume cheese separatists in the, in eastern he wrong. there has been a problem in the country for more than 20 years. now, and they have the change of several tags and in recent months is especially on the revolutionary guides and other things. the main reason for what we see here does not have an awful lot to do with events in the middle east, but more with domestic politics. in the wrong e rom, especially after the attacks in paramount, although there have been claimed by swimming state and not by but which is separate and just wanted to show it citizens all over the country that is willing and able to fight these jobs as groups on its file trip rom is extremely worried about separatism, or cetera, just tendencies that have become

a bit more obvious in the last, you know, the village style, but also in south west the wrong, where many arabs lived and begin iranian focused on, i think that's the deeper reason for, for the rom you that it's okay due to steinberg would say to me, institute for international and security affairs skita as always we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. now to the us and the race to win the white house, republican, hopeful nikki haley is moving voters in new hampshire this week and she seems to keep her bid for the republican presidential nomination on track. on monday, haley finished 3rd behind florida governor rhonda sanchez in the iowa caucus. both finished far behind the runaway front runner, donald trump. well, the next contest, the new hampshire primary next tuesday. and the primary you've seen is maker break

for haley who has tried to make the republican raise a choice of 2 between herself and donald trump. but the full show her with a double digit deficit behind the former us present. whoever wins the republican nomination will almost certainly face off against the incumbent us president joe biden, at the age of $81.00. he's the oldest president in us history, and we will have to convince voters of all ages that he has the stamina for another 4 years. in office, so far younger voters remain rather unconvinced. will examine their role in this election and just a moment. but 1st, here's by them speaking earlier today in the state of north carolina. the folks on here today to talk about something that doesn't get enough attention. and that's the progress for make you to invest in america all america. you know, there's a, there's a law written back in the thirty's that says when the congress passes

a bill that has money to be spent, to build something in america, whether it's an aircraft carrier or it's a highway. and whatever happens to be that the president should use american workers and american products of a long responders, time democrats and republican presidents didn't divide by very much. but i do is i want to make sure that we're making america bills in america with american products . and that's why we created 14000000 new jobs what we do by the donald trump. back in 2020 young voters played an important role . figures from the pew research center showed that 58 percent of people born between 1996 in 2002 known as generation z are generations that they vote and provide only 38 percent voting for trump. reason numbers from the institute of politics at harvard kennedy school of government show that young voters 10 more towards joe biden, this year. but for a variety of reasons,

less than half of generations, the voters say that they are going to go to the polls at all. well bring in now lindsey williams drowned in washington, dc. she's the ceo of the forward party, which is a centrist political party currently working towards gaining and like total access in all 50 states. lindsey, it's good to have you with this. the primary season is under way of the moment. it's all about democrats or republicans, as you know. are you feeling well more than a little left out? a hi. how are you? thrilled to be here with you. um, i don't think i'm a loving feeling left out. i think that's why we're seeing those disenfranchised numbers amongst jan. z right now. they're not alone. you've got 46 percent of americans right now, so i've done a fine is independence books are leaving the 2 legacy parties in droves and those numbers are even higher amongst jen z. and you know, as, as you said i'm,

i'm here launching a new political party in the united states of america. i am. nothing is not an optimist. i, i have to be in this work. but if, if young motors in america feel that their vote doesn't count. sadly, it's because the reality of our system isn't. it doesn't even in states where independents can vote in our primaries, you've got gerrymandering. that's. i'm sure that the over whelming majority of elections are decided well before the general, so have more than half of the population. united states doesn't really have a say and who represents them? yeah, i mean, i would definitely go on record saying you're probably one of the most overworked and under appreciated. um, people in the united states right now. um so, you know, here's to you for trying to put a, another party on the ballot. but let's talk about where we are right now. at the end of this primary season, we're going to end up probably with the general election bidding to man who were both around 80 years of age against each other. that is, that the reason jen z voters say they will not be flocking to the poles this year.

i think that right now when we're talking about the november and the presidential election, we're talking about one day and we're talking about 2 white men who are not they, they do not feel relevant to young people across the country. what we're not talking about is the 520000 seats for elected office that are all across the country where individuals are representing folks in their own community and, and, and really working on issues that impact americans lives on a daily basis. just last week it was really exciting. we are seeing the 1st ever all women city council sworn in in saint paul, minnesota. and they are broadly representative of communities of color. these are the sorts of stories that i think give us hope as americans. and what i hope will drive people to the polls, not just in november, but during their primaries to we've got super tuesday coming up on march 5th. we've

got huge, hugely important states like north carolina on march. 5th, you've got pennsylvania on april 23rd and your folks that are representing people in their, in their own communities on those, on those primary balance. and i hope folks will come out and support them. let me ask you this, do you think jim z is concerned so much that these are 2 white men or more concerned with the fact that these are 2 people who could easily be gen, sees, grandfathers are great. grandfathers isn't an age here. that is really the issue for young voters. i think it's relevant, say, i think you could see someone who was of an older generation who is relevant to the issues that are impacting americans in their own backyards. who are solutions oriented or committed to getting things done? i think that generationally, an older candidate could still resonate with the younger voter. the problem is, is the rhetoric and the political dog whistles that the 2 parties continue to a spouse are not resonating with a generation who's,

who's looking for hope and change. maybe to, if we look beyond the age issue with younger voters, maybe a bigger question is here's how do you get moderate americans motivated over politics and me. how do you get them to shift away from this, this in a polarizing for formative politics that has become such a hallmark of the more extremely public and we in recent years mean how do you do that? yeah, i think again it goes back to our communities, it goes back to running people in folks back yard where you're able to address the things that really matter to american voters, jobs, education, health care, cost of living, affordable housing. these are all things right now, but at the top of the ticket, americans aren't seeing candidates taking these issues. seriously. they're not seeing what's resident in their own communities. and the more we're able to see fantastic candidates who are running for city council may or state legislature or who are addressing these real issues and taking them on in ways that are innovative

. i do think you're going to see excitement. i do think you're going to have an independent minded voters, turn out to support those candidates and turn out is important. we want folks to turn out. we want folks to vote. but obviously, as you've said, the top of the ticket is not going to motivate them. if, if you've got all of these, you know, great you, you've got all of these qualified motivated local politicians across united states . if that's the case, then why in a country of 300000000 people, do we not have anything new to choose from when it comes to the, the president? would you say here that the biggest threat to american democracy as we know it right now, is maybe not donald trump or, or to abide or their age, but maybe the actual political party apparatus that we half a 100 percent agree. the 520000 seats that i reference actually that's not representative of candidates. it's actually it's the seats themselves. and of those 520000 positions of elected office, 70 percent of them go uncontested,

which means you have people who are sitting in in positions of elected office, who again don't represent the interest of the people. and in large part because you have one party control in those communities. so no one even thinks that there is an opportunity to go and compete. there's a lack of competition up and down the ballot. and that is by design, that is by design of the 2 party system. they have done an excellent job, kind of pulling up the ladder behind them once they get into positions of power, whether it's close party primary primaries. uh, you know, jerry mander districts, these are all things that have been designed by the 2 party system to lock out competition. and none of this is an dated in the constitution. we, as americans have a great tradition of innovation and the ability to change these things it's, it's a matter of folks showing up and getting engaged in their own communities. and we can, we can, we can really see that change that everybody's looking for. but you've, you've had a big job ahead of you and if they're pulling the letters up behind them, i'm sure that you were going to find a way to put a new letter up to bring

a 3rd party and lindsey williams draft to see the forward party and so we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thanks for having me. are here in germany, thousands have it turned out for a 4th night of protests against the far right alternative, but for germany political party. the demonstrations were triggered by a news report of a secret meeting in which party members as well as others, discussed what's being called a master plan to be important. millions of foreigners, as well as the 2nd generation germans who have failed to assimilate into german society. the if the party has growing popularity, it is now number 2 in the national polls. berlin hates the f d. that was the chance those thousands made their voices haired under the lights of the city halls. the latest show of force against the rise of the far right in

germany. we hit today because there's a shift to the, to a more i, we approach and politics in germany and that's a horrifying goal. i think it is the duty of all of us to be hit today against the if the against hatreds and rabble rousing hits the most of those. we know that the f d is already quite popular nationwide in gemini, and it's important to stand up against fascism against anti democratic ideas, against nazi ideas or protest to rep to dr. richard madge. the alternative for jam, many members, a neo nazis met to discuss plans through the port millions of people with migration routes, including german citizens. the, the sd have distance themselves from a so called re migration plan. one and for germans has a migration background in bell. and the story has brought to mind the doctor's chapter in german history. when not sees the poor to then murder millions of people,

it's not the right to do it. it's not right for the nation. yes, it reads associated with me, it sucks me that people have not learned from history miss clear. and how this works is they me, cuz that's why do we migration is the worst you can hear, especially in a country that one slipped through that history. i. mazda gets just the beauty girl, because to explain to people who are born here with the migration background, should also leave 0. but i had to hard to go to bed because you see, gemini, oberlin is your home, and it's all very difficult either. do you usually let racism get to me like that? but it did. it didn't make me aggressive. do you think? what so this crap must focus know times to the parties position and the german parliament where the debates is whether they should be fund entirely a new,

clear option fraud with legal hard goals. and that may only help rather than hinder the far right. what do you use political correspondence? i mean, youngest following this for so i asked him why the a if the party is so successful and that's despite the resistance we've seen on the streets. what branch? of course, there are many different reasons why people might be drawn to a policy like deal tentative for germany as the one key thing certainly is the issue of migration. that's the issue that they've put to at the center of many of the campaigns. and they've got this a tough line that you, you heard about in the piece there. and that's something that it clearly is, is wondering a lot of people who a lot of people interested them, focused on them. but it's not the only thing. there's a lot of uncertainty and disgruntlement in the population at large, for instance, with environmental legislation. and just generally they rise in the cost of living

. and so, and so you've got a lot of people looking at the current government a 3 way coalition on the life shelves and feeling that you know, those main stream parties don't have the answers to the, the questions that to concern people. that's why they're looking to at alternate saves, in this case at the a f d. yeah, the if the is apparently an alternative and yet we're seeing calls to band the party. why did people want to see this party being? well, a lot of people are very alarmed. they say that this policy is hostile to democracy and that it essentially is sort of the freshest frontal organization. indeed, parts of the a, if the have been declared a threat to democracy by intelligent services in various places around the country . so there's a lot of concern. i think that that concern has been wrapped up in recent days by these reports of

a meeting with the different far right groups. that sort of coming together in a network, including a, if the representatives and talking about this a circle plan for re migration deporting people that are essentially at these far right. members don't want to see living in gym and they will, it's got a lot of people worried, but this isn't just about straight protests at their full. so being debates here at the gym and paul them in to for instance, today, we saw a debate on the far right and what to do about it. let's listen to some of the voices from that debate. today, we've been find your wolf in sheep's clothing, but i'll say this, you'll facade is beginning to correct. these are the true phase of the f. d is coming out of old to see and we'll make it clear what kind of ideology they office you a bit of the bible now the problem body plan to, to put people who watch them and citizens is clear and obvious to everyone in

class and options this, please know, democrats can remain silent about this time demo. caught me a slide, my new dining room town do the, it is the to the war and syria is over. 600000 syrians have to go back. even denmark ruled by central democrats is sending syrians home. this is the re migration we're calling for. with this, we like ration is done against the law and the constitution. it is the implementation of the law and the constitution. we have to defend as a rule of law and you are its opponents, the video game. so you, you hear the, the, a f d a defending themselves and even taking ownership of that to re migration of the policies site that they're trying to bypass democracy. whereas they say they're speaking of for what only people care about, that certainly the mainstream parties are worried. so i'm just always thank of the

day continues online. we'll see you next time everybody the
