next by sir, welcome to the program. high ranking members of a ranch parent military revolutionary guard have reportedly been killed in a suspect. it is rarely airstrikes in syria, a ranting and syrian state media say a commander and one of his deputies died in the strike as well as 2 more members of the force. it hit a building in the capital, damascus. rescuers are still searching for people trapped under the revel. regional tensions are escalating, as israel continues as war and how much in response to the october 7th terror attack. for this we're joined now by middle east that unless daniel cadillac, who is with the magazine, samantha, which is the editor and chief and that specialized on the arrogance vondik world. what were a ranch revolutionary guards doing 0 in the 1st place? well, it runs the revolutionary god course present in syria since the onset of the syrian

civil war, more visible since 2012, 2013. so the agency are advising the syrian government, which means the effect that they have troops on the ground there. uh they are conducting operations. they're having malicious, which are guided by iran, but not necessarily composed to be rainy and nationals. so iran is very present as a what comes close to military ally of syria. these strikes, i'm not new. yeah, israel has attacked iran constantly in syria. however, the magnitude of the strike, the violence of the strike and the city of the mass goes, the number of, of, of casualties is something extraordinary. and i think this is another level of escalation. we have gotten used to these types, but this is something a bit more violent, right at this level. taking out spite chief, it appears as, as, as israel struck as high before in syria. but um, yes, uh multiple occasions. and on the 1st day of christmas, the 25th of december, israel assassinated a high ranking i,

or just the commander in syria. his name was that as well. so we, and this was so far, they, according to intelligence, the information who was one of the key coordinators of operations of the wrong in syria with you may need malicious the syrian government and at the same time as well. i wonder, to what extent iran is going to respond to this because the united states run has been taking many of those strikes. yeah, of course there is a shadow wall going on between his running around. but this happens in, in a interesting beautifully to a context because they have been a number of reading and operations in the neighborhood which the radiance brandis entity our operations using drones and, and also missiles. but at the same time, there is a very interesting secure re shuffle of the security apparatus in damascus itself, which happened yesterday. so maybe it's coincidence, but maybe it also there's a, there's a connection between these events. and to what extent is this link to the war? israel is, is way down how mass and gather it is connected because of course, iran considers home us a member,

a part of it so called excess of resistance against israel in the us. however, the arrangements have made it quite clear that the uh, what happened on the 7th of october was how most, if there was a palestinian attack and they had no hand in this. and i think we'd have to basically put a number of measured by those standards, not very bellicose statements of the uranium government, and particularly the foreign minister who seemed to want to de escalate not be drafted to this war any further. the same of course, applies to the us um, but what we see on the ground is something different than i wonder to what extent the reading is not going to perceive this as a pro location. the readings have struck a target any ron a few days ago in iraq and neighboring iraq for the 1st time in a bill a few days ago. and they said they had hit a massage cell like a cell of these really intelligent service that was illegally operating out of the iraq against the reading and secured interest. so in a way the reading is, might take this as an official, as a, you know, official response by the israel is. but that would at the same time, mean that the ears are these admit they were hit by the striking,

the rock. they were present as this, at least this is how the reading is that going to each other, to the tit for tat that i don't know when, when, when, when it ends, while it's being taken to a different level now and i think i, we should be really, really worried about this because the shuttle was been going on for some time, but it seems that both sides want to show we're not afraid of entering a direct consultation. and it seems that the 10 year old government in particular is really pushing towards it. maybe is adjusted to the radiance to say we israel's, but ready for everything. but of course nobody in the region would be delighted about the major explanation escalation, let alone of the americans or the gulf states, or anyone who would suffer from admissions. the last thing people need at least tennis daniel cadillac, thank you so much. i could and those strikes and syria come mid unimpaired risk between israel and its closest ally united states over gaz future when the war ends. us president joe biden says he spoke with his really prime minister, benjamin nation. yeah. who about possible solutions for the creation of an

independent palestinian state? when asked by reporters of a 2 state solution was impossible with newton yahoo and office pardon said, you know, it's not, it's rarely prime minister has rejected uh pardon me. the 2 leaders spoke the 1st time on friday. it was their 1st direct communication in almost a month that night. and is israel's military wines down it's operation in the north of the gaza strip of some of the thousands of palestinians displaced from areas by jamalia are heading back only to find there is little left of the place they used to call home these trails war against thomas is what top much of this neighborhood. but those who pretend it's now a button for survival to the and everyone must pitch in to help gather the most basic of needs and much heavy if, if you have other than a hook on july, the middle of the board, we've had a hard time since the beginning of the work,

all the basic necessities are gone. human, there is a lack of everything. uh, there is no flower fuels, sugar and almost no water. we do not say, but fetch water all day. it's a whole lot of these items such as family cook, just once a day, to consider the unlimited supplies or does the all around the mistress of famine and disease grow the thoughts, tons, the devastating impact of this will get home and the many they've not, no longer here a lot. i'm nicole, along with all of my cousins are dead. my wife's family is dead. 36 people died in one swoop. well, none of my children get any sleep. we lie and say that when they here are in birds goes off here for this, for the top, it's a knock on the door. and even if for all kids or more turns are falling, we tried to reassure them. but that's still an easy to do. when surrounded by the

scholars of conflict and then it would know this is where used to sleep. now it's impossible to sleep. the cold is killing us. now when we got to back home i, so that's my room, toys i'm bad had burned down. i don't have anything less when it gets issue. now, did you know just the buildings that lie in ruins will go home for the future is also crumbling. as fundamental differences remain, post will future palestinian. so when i garza who up on the, in the, the next and here in germany, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of hamburg to protest against the far right. follows revelations that members of the alternative for germany party held a secret meeting to discuss the mass deportation of immigrants in german citizens of for an origin. the ac is under domestic surveillance in several german states

and there have been calls to band the party entirely. the streets of hamburg overflowing with protest stairs, giving voice to the posts for german promise of never again to right wing extremism . perfectly suited the ones i'm actually demonstrating for the 1st time in my life . so i myself find a threatening is, can i know stories from the nazi era for my grandfather? and i don't want that to happen again. and these protests are happening after is the marriage that alternative for germany, members, a new nazis met to discuss plans to deport millions of people with migrant routes, including german citizens. the parties leadership has tried to distance itself from the so called master plan. but the revelation has sparked nationwide outreach, even prompting chancellor luff sholtes to join

a protest near bare land and he said the plan for must deportations should send a shiver dying people spines. so i guess i'd like this. i'm saying it clearly and bluntly, i think for this right we extreme is, are attacking our democracy to them. they want to destroy all cohesion by my go ahead and confirm that a secret conference. these extreme is discussed how they could expel millions of people from our country and to pipe. and it's no empty threat. cooling shows the party and 2nd place, a worry for many head of state elections this year. more demonstrations are taking place this weekend as calls to band, the party entirely grew louder and louder. and for some more insight in all this, i'm drawing by due to view political correspond, thomas sparrow, and thomas, i can't remember ever seeing so many people demonstrating against the far right why such mobilization now essentially because people who are protesting see that they

also have to react to those allegations to that secret, to a private meeting that was held in the belinda the reaction is not one that should only be left to the courts. if the alternative for germany party should be fined or not, or to the politicians, whether they react, that's a national or in regional part of months. that it should also come from society itself. and it's important here to stress that the, if the is pulling in germany at around 20 to 23 percent. and in the eastern part of the country and 3 regions where they will be elections. this the, the, if these actually leading in the polls. but there is a majority of people here in the country who do not necessarily view in a positive light. the policy is that the a, if the is defending and that's why basically the need to actually go to the streets, especially after that secret meeting was reveal that happened in november last year . the secret meeting to uh, what was that all about how to break down force? what happens? essentially this was reported by an investigator. this portal called corrective and

this meeting held to what was held in november last year. and it was a meeting with several people attended, filed ride orientations, from a regional level, from the national level as well. extremists also business people and at least 2 members of the main opposition party. here in jeopardy, the conservative see to you and the plan that was discussed, there was a must be protection plan, a mazda plan, as it was described, if the far right ever comes to power here in germany. this brings back memories of germany's very doc passed in. that meeting happened only 8 to 10 kilometers away from where the final solution was discussed in 1942, the plans to the port, millions of people to an african country which was discuss that was also similar to a plan that was discussed by the nazis in the 1940, so this has brought many reactions in very different levels from the legal level, the political level. and as we're seeing these protest also by dr months,

we're going to the street to say that this is not something that can be accepted to danger. and the talk of banding, the party you were mentioning, like, how can you do that in a free democratic society? what you can bond a party, that's something that will be in the hands of german, these constitutional quotes. and it could only happen if, let's say the german problem under the german government presents specific motion for that to happen. it's not something that has happened frequently in germany. in fact, since the 1950s only twice that has happened in the 1950s, more recent calls to bind, for example, the neo nazi and p d parties failed. the hurdles are way too big. and there are those who say that it would only benefit the a if the, if there is this motion to bind deposit because the ethical density itself, as i said, a victim of the establishment. so there's a huge debate here in the country public campaign. almost yes, there's a huge debate in the country with them. that's the correct way forward or whether their way forward should actually be to go against those principles by the, the industry. it's orange regional federal problems. okay,

well thank you sir. for that insight, thomas barrow database political correspond it's they're often called man's best friends. but when a dog in united states of michigan has turned out to be a genuine live saver, the dog's owner fell through a frozen lake while out for a walk. but he was saved thanks to his 4 legged companion and quick thinking by a policeman. the officer managed to get the dog to bring rescue equipment to its owner. once the equipment was safely, the man's hands, police were able to pull him out of the freezing water and across the ice to safety . good dogs ran fairly new, both the story. and there he goes. that's all for now. coming up. next are documentary series follows scientists exploring breeland's dwindling glaciers to the massive eye sheet harbor secrets about the future of life on earth unexpired. thanks for

watching the can you hear we are all set. we are watching close all the to bring you the story behind the new we own about come by as information for free might do to name the 40 percent of the world population lives by an ocean.
