all your outspoken dw is real, corresponded rebecca rivers. she told us more about why the settlers have been singled out by the us for sanctions. i will tell you this 1st round and it should be said that it is an initial step and the door has been left open from all sanctions in the future. but this initial step focuses on full is riley set lives that have been involved, or alleged who have been involved either directly or indirectly in violent attacks in this the occupied westbank. we believe they're all foreign nationals though. it's sort of a not, in fact to us citizens of course, and begging the question how effective the sanctions will be. we're not exactly clear as what exactly clear how many or whether they have an assets in the us. but the for a said to have been involved in various acts of violence including initiating and leading a riot in a palestinian village last year as where more at least more than $100.00 set was

descended on the palace in palestinian village of hawaii torching homes. and prophets he there at least one palestinian was killed in that attack. and now the was accused of assaulting palestinian farm is one, was accused of assaulting palestinians and is rarely active as in a village in the west bank and a full of leading repeated attacks in his riley villages, particularly better when villages and threatening move on. and so those people not leave the line, so the very serious acts that these type of a alleged to be doing. but as i say, it is at this stage only for settlers where we have seen many more acts of violence falls showed i should add of putting sanctions on any is randy ministers. but there are reports, at least one report in us media saying that the administration was thinking about including 2 ministers, both themselves settlers in the a type of shied away in the end. as i mentioned,

the effectiveness of these sanctions is a question that will be being off just what the response from me is ready. government will be whether it will have any effect in stuff and set in as long as remains to be safe. but it does leave the door open. this order for more sanctions on will pay for should the lights continue? now these are the 1st ever sanctions on is really salaries by israel's biggest satellite. what's behind this extraordinary decision by the us, rebecca? well this comes, terry. at a time of increased set, the violence was suddenly saying that since the terror attack of october 7 in the subsequent war, even before october, terry was seeing a rise in setting yvonne and said it was causing a huge risk between the as riley government and their allies, the us, particularly the bottom administration, coming down hard at least trying to discourage this kind of thing. putting a hardwood on the as riley government. this is the biggest move,

the biggest step. it's being called historic by, by many here. of course they will be those that say it's not going far enough that it's not doing enough and that it's come too late. however, it is the most significant step we've seen by u. s. government when it comes to set the violence in the history. so it comes on that backdrop, as i said, but in november we, we sold us administration, preparing a full this uh us presidential by and saying that he calling on the administration to prepare his within. so, visa bands on some settlers. and now it's saying this final step, and as i say it does leave the the door open for more to come. rebecca, thank you very much. our correspondent, rebecca rivers interest sketchup on a few other stories making headlines today. the us defense secretary lloyd austin has said us is preparing significant action in response to the recent deadly drone

attack on us forces and jordan. sundays. drone strikes, targeted a remote u. s. military base in northeastern jordan known as power 22. washington has blamed the attack on the ran back militants. turkish police of arrested a pro palestinian gunmen and fried several hostages. near assemble. an armed man protesting the war, and garza had taken 7 workers captive at a plant owned by us consumer goods giant proctor and gamble. officials say the hostages were freed on hart, shipped, carrying thousands of live stock, says returned to australia after being stuck in limbo for weeks by the crisis in the red sea. the year is rarely a vessel had set off from the australian port of free mantle in january, only to be ordered back due to the attacks on shipping by humans who the rebels. you leaders have praised the passage of

a new 50000000000 euro support package for ukraine. european council present, shaw, michelle said the 4 year deal with in short, long term predictable funding for ukraine. after hungry as prime minister victor or bon finally dropped weeks of opposition. ukraine has faced increasing uncertainty over 8 funding because of political in finding in the u and the u. s. hon gary and prime minister of victor. all done once again in the spotlight in brussels, which he again block then you a package for ukraine as he did last december. he did not or he did. so when we got the 27 heads of state and government to reach political agreement, which will allow us to mobilize safety, exits revealing due risk as part of the ukraine facility, return. the packages intended to help you create incurs bunch of gaps and pay salaries and services. in the years 2024 to 2027. the relief at reaching the necessary unanimity is palpable. that's a sudden, this is of course,

a good message for the citizens of ukraine who are so challenged by the russian war of aggression. but of course also for us is the european union, which has shown that it can stand together. v you is withholding funding from hungary because of concerns about the root of little hungary has block you decisions on separate issues. some of you need us make clear what they think of people all bunch tactics. there's no problem with so called to young. you know, you're quite in fact the issue we have for most of the levels, the inverse so, so we have so many things to, to solve. i don't want to use the word blackmail, but i don't know why she has her better words. hungry itself, rejects these accusations in return for all bunch concession. you leaders have agreed to remain flexible when it comes to paying out the new age to ukraine. the big question now is the victo on change of heart be permanent

here in germany support for the fluoride a if the party has been growing and reason bonds. but a new poll shows a slight weakening of its support. a flurry of reason demonstrations against the far right drew hundreds of thousands of people nationwide. those who hit the streets expressed alarm reports of extremist networks in germany, but also anger. it was regarded as a tepid response from the government. for weeks, germans have been protesting in the 10s of thousands, against the rise of the far right. people from different political backgrounds who will agree on one thing. the extreme right is a threat to german is democracy and it must be stopped. the latest in for testing that poll shows 72 percent of germans think these demonstrations serve a useful purpose. it also makes clear 2 thirds believe the i f. d. alternative for germany. policy is up for rights organization, something the f d do nice of us. it was one of these,

those me personally is that the young people are now coming out. no doubt they had their opinions about the sd before, but you didn't see it via the thought was previously an anonymous mass has become visible on a new muscle. so they are now slowly realizing that things cannot continue as they were and open with these in kansas. shift to the right is the last thing we need for our democracy. who do demo cut the declaration of let's is was horrible in some parts of the a f d have been declared for right by intelligent services. a debate has raged about potentially fanning the potty. but the survey also shows many germans and not put off by the phone, right label to 3rd say that is not a problem. as long as the policy speaks up about issues that match up nearly half. think that changing the agenda is the main role of the f d. put fancy. many people say tight is of other filters. governments is one of the

causes of the fall, right? strength, president. but the off the stack of the fact that the a, f d a is become stronger as a result of left wing policies here. you know, they had done their job. well, we wouldn't have the, the on 20 percent as the 2nd strongest party on this. certainly a lot of dissatisfaction around and there also needs to be more justice. but the government also needs to show more courage that is blown out by the and protest pope. it shows that while the search and prominence of the far right is high on the list of things, people worry about. the sense that politicians have become detached from reality is also a strong kind of what's not yet clear is whether the dipping support for the a f d will turn into a long term trend and whether the mainstream parties will see the poll numbers aging backup of the class which you are watching the news from berlin up next. we've got a documentary for you title child of dictation. the dark chapter for the catholic

church of terry marketing for me and all of us here at dw news like spring. what's the cost from a sponsor? it's one of the sale weapons and he knows how to use it. and pretend this god knows about energy in a way that these as of like structures have no idea of what doesn't look behind the facade of this imagery. john tell us gas problem brushes political wedding thoughts february 3rd, i'm dw.
