the, the, this is dw news line from berlin. the us launch is errors price on targets in syria, and the rack. the raids on a pro iran militia come in response to the killing of 3 us soldiers in a drone attack on a base in jordan. last week on the show, israel's military prepares to move in gaza offensive further south towards drop off some off of leadership ways. the terms of a propos, 6 weeks, these fire and health spending cars passed their 1st legislative test. and argentina. presidents have here malays radical economic make over still me senate

approval, but many argentines are already violently opposed to the plan, the american ends. dean, welcome to the program. the us military has launched air strikes on targets in syria and iraq. the pentagon says more than 85 signs for him to key syrian the state t v. so the strikes had resulted in a number of deaths and injuries erac condemned to strikes, calling them an aggression against the sovereign team, saying that 16 people had been killed to you as president joe biden ordered the operation in response to last week's killing of 3 american soldiers in a drone attack on a base in jordan bite and attended a military ceremony where the bodies of the soldiers were returned to the us

shortly before the air strikes us. national security council spokesman john kirby says the us response target is science linked to iran. revolutionary guard, also known as the i, r g, c, and the militias. it supports you said more attacks could be expected to the signal is the i r t c and to these groups. and the attacks have got to stop. this wasn't just the message sending routine tonight. this was about the grading capability to taking away capabilities by the advocacy and the, and, and the militant groups. these responses began tonight. they're not going to end tonight. the earlier i asked middle east analyst and military expert, roger shanahan and sidney for more details on the us strikes. well, a still working off the information that they've been given by the us government, but i said that she said i thought the tag upset 7 separate sides and multiple

targets at particular facilities. and they were designed to target amount of control facilities, logistics support, elements, weapons stockpiles, as you saw, are in the, in the video. and it was not a move from the us announcement that it was designed to minimize possibility is vision civilian casualties. but also what wasn't mentioned in there is the fact that to dana across so, so i took part in this a tech. so from what the us to say this is the start of a, of a campaign of retaliatory strikes. and yeah, we should mention that the united states announced their plans to carry out these strikes ahead of time. so just how effective could they be? wouldn't you think that there had been preparations for these us strikes? it was added to the space is probably 2 elements to the just hours. we have

to evaluate the effectiveness of the us strikes at the end of the campaign, not at the start of it. and it's obviously pain kilograms, to some degree, to minimize the possibility of a should be in that probably senior iranian casualties as well. so it was and the other, the 3rd element is they might be also other parts of the response, non committee elements that we're not privy to. that might have been talking of the elements. so i think we'll have to wait for a little while until we evaluate tell affected that in touch ality and not just based on this, it is nice response. well, it appears that at least one of the main targets was the codes force of the rainy and revolutionary guards. why was this group a target as the previous time responsibility to detect the killed,

the 3 us service personnel was use. i mean, i mean rock resistance, iraq, which is an umbrella organization that includes the number, is actually a militia groups who are supported logistically in terms of training and financially by a rodney. in particular, the gc could source, which is obviously these we of the a revolutionary god. cool. and so that's why these targets were selected. washington is being quite can fully and it's justification for selecting tag is to make sure there's a causal link between the attack that occurred in jordan and the targets that there's like being. so that's why these particular targets have been chosen. the 1st instance you mentioned that this is only the beginning of the us response,

and yet the us government says, does not want of a war with iran, but how real is the threat of a serious escalation? yeah, there's, and i mean, that's a good question. and it is very difficult policy line to how for washington, you're going to have a campaign of responses that are targeting writing affiliated organizations in syria and to other countries. and hoping that by reinforcing your response geographically, they, you know, kind of figure out a direct response from around which is by there's not going to be any kinetic strikes in iran side. i'm one of water in white, in the conflict around itself. would've understood that the dish, so the 3 us service guys now from these kind of a tech kinda go unanswered. so it's a very delicate task that washington is playing. the tried to have

a substances multiple level, multi die in response against or writing an interest. so writing back groups in the region without triggering a why to response, particularly from ryan, but from other groups as well it's, it's a difficult policy outcome to achieve. singleton. honestly, that was roger shanahan, a military analyst and expert. and joining us from sidney, thanks so much for all your insights. my pleasure. israel's military has suggested it's planning to move. it's gone offensive, further south into the city of or off on more than half of gauze of the population has been forced to take refuge there since the start of israel's war against from us, which is considered a terrorist organization by most western countries. the finding continues as how mos leadership ways the terms of a proposed 6 week cease fire, or another strike on han units in southern gaza. an

explosion followed by gunshots since people running for their lives. colombia are danger, and bombardments are coming from old direction. hun units has again become the focus of israeli air strikes. its infrastructure has been severely damaged. thousands more displaced gallons, a once more fleeing to rough, up for the south on the border with egypt. and already overcrowded reason days, thousands of palestinians have continued to free to the south, which is already hosting a hostile gas us population of some 2300000 people most are living in make shift structures tense or out in the open profit as a pressure of despair and we feel for what comes next. then

you arrivals in rough, uh, rely on food handouts provided by so many tearing groups, or the nation centers like this 1. 8 workers can only feed a small number of displaced. and as we're doing our best to distribute as much as we can little so that as many of the displaced as possible can get food free on the left or so yes, the firearms, thousands of decent place people in rafa and we can't serve them. oh, yeah, i know everyone here is helping the latest attempt to secure i seize fire will pay off earlier, a correspondent in jerusalem, rebecca rivers had more on these really offensive as we know, that is really is continuing its campaign predominantly in the southern part of this trip that has been sent it around that southern city of hon. eunice,

that is believed by these really military to be a strong hold of miles. they believe that have most militants and indeed the leadership they are hiding underground. and there are many of course weapons stores and manufacturing sites. they say that they've been targeting, we've also seen them targeting quite heavily the hospitals in the region. they say that how most use those hospitals as come out incentives enables, are being targeting those areas. now as you mentioned in that report, an annual late in the v is riley military or the defense minister yesterday came out saying that they are going to continue that campaign into the south to that southern most the city of russell. that is, of course, with most of the population, more than half of goss this population has led to an, a sheltering trying to escape the worst of the bombardments the worst of the fighting. and it's not yet clear where they have less to go and not exactly sure yet whether they'll be given access to go back for the noise. but we know the

fighting continues in the central gaza area around garza city and in the northern pots as well. so it's really unclear as to the sight of those mold and 1000000 people that have sheltering in that rough in board area. and we have our hearing reports that the roof, the area around the city was struck by strikes of a night. but it's very difficult for us to get accurate and up to date information . obviously as international, john was unable to get access to gaza. that was the w, as rebecca readers was speaking to us earlier from jerusalem. all right, let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news. this our at least 3 people have been wounded in a nice attack at a train station in paris. police say that a suspect has been arrested and security has been stepped up. the sol took place less than 6 months before paris hose. the 2024 olympics to land firefighters are battling rapidly expanding wild fires. that officials fear have claimed around 10

lines. a state of emergency has been declared as hundreds of homes come under thread from a dozen different fires burning since friday. the blazes are concentrated in the venus, omar, and vall, tara e. so tourist regions. the international court of justice has agreed to hear requests by ukraine to reject a russian accusation that have committed genocide. he of says, russia use the claim as a pretext to justify its invasion of ukraine in february of 2022. well, lawmakers in argentine is lower house, have voted in favor of sweeping reforms after days of marathon debates, the bill is a key component of president, heavier malays election pledge to shake of the economy. after years of malays, it contains hundreds of articles including privatization and cutting states subsidies. the senate still needs to approve the measures which have sparked

violent protests on the streets of the capital. thousands gather in buenos virus to voice the alarm over the president's reform package. of the protest outside congress become heated demonstrators throw objects at police who respond with to your desk. but these are getting time to refuse to back down. they believe the nation's future is at stake. it's going to be an unlivable country that serves the rich and we will take it upon ourselves in the streets to do what we always did with those laws in the past. defeat them in the streets as we did with the dictatorship model for the love of god, i beg you do something to go out on the streets, protest against the criminals who voted to pass this law. so, but i can tell you that the the bill cleared its 1st hurdle after days of debates

and changes. law makers, approved in principle paving the way for a senate vote. proponent said the president's reforms are essential to revive the economy. and it's a conflict in the context of the crisis we're going through. in my view, it is essential to support president heavy a malays bill to lay down the foundations and principles for this country. you see, bill everybody's been the bill would grant the president's special powers, but some lawmakers say that undermines democracy. president heavier malay was elected last year on a platform to radically overall the economy. inflation is running at 200 percent 40 percent of origin times live in poverty. 7 milly promised to deliver what he calls shock therapy. that includes the, the valuation of the currency and deep spending cuts. steps, his supporters believe will turn the economy around.

the bill could undergo more changes in the lower house before a final vote in the senate. you're up to date on the double your news on their dana evans team from me as the entire news team in berlin. thanks for watching the . 7 cutting daniels and jamie you belong to the 77 percent to come to i don't and 6, in spite of was last those top 5 years. 3 reasons why 1115 . we are here to help you make up your mind. we are here on please find your mind. so talk to you from campbell, fixed a new culture and in 15 minutes.
