a love story involving a certain global comstar. the readings throughout viewers around the world. i'm like local israel insist 8 will go ahead with a planned ground or solved on the city of rafa in southern gaza. more than a 1000000 displays, palestinians are sheltering there and israel says it will help civilians to move out. but the white house is sounding a note of caution. president joe biden has won. the operation should not proceed without a plan in place to protect the population displeased, palestinians living in make shift tents in rafa along the border with egypt are already facing disease and starvation. now they are bracing for a new threat. unexpected is really ground assault on the from city they fled to

almost every day were on the run being displaced as tough because i have 2 daughters with disabilities. i can't carry them around. i don't have a call or a caught, there's no fuel. if there are more displacements, i'm not moving for her husband agrees. after moving the several times over the last 4 months, the family now live in a tent that leaks finding enough food and water is a daily struggle with the wall on one side and water on the other. he says the family is not running anymore by then we came to the egyptian boardroom. we come to the display, send him home. we will either die here or we go back and die in our homes. nowhere

is safe. raft. the has become a last refuge for more than a 1000000 dozens fleeing the fighting further north. now israel's prime minister has declared the next phase and is bid to destroy from us. we'll be in rafa and he's ordered the military to prepare and evacuation plan. if we're going to do it, we're going to get the remaining hamas terrace battalions and rough rock, which is the last bastion. but we're going to do it and then disagree with the americans. we're going to do it while providing safe passage for the civilian population. so they can leave, but it's not clear where the displaced are supposed to go, or when the ground invasion might begin. 8 groups, arab leaders, and allies have all warned israel, a military operation in rafa, which is also the main entry point for aid could have catastrophic consequences.

generally as a semi circle in jerusalem told me how far prime minister benjamin netanyahu might be willing to distance himself from israel's alex to. i think if you look at the hours, the history of his relations with the united states, his relations with the europeans is used to being in this position in which there is deep disagreement on the various issues. if we take the example of the a is rarely supplements in the occupied, the west bank is what has been building settlement as the united states administration has been condemning the supplements. and yet this project has been growing. so clearly the administration doesn't view on and i the situation in y'all's the same way that is, views it. but nevertheless, it is riley's, most of them on the to consent with america the saying that so long that the

americans would be sending in to munitions of this kind of rhetoric that we hear from the americans. there's nothing going to change the bathroom scene. and the, reminding that, and the secretary of state was here in november. he said that the war would last for a few more weeks. and here we are already in february and the war is going on. so it seems that some of the statements, at least coming from the americans, are for internal consumption for the democrats, who are not pleased with the way the war is going to. genesis semi circle, their western leaders have criticized donald trump for threatening to encourage russia to attack nato allies. true or not spending enough on defense. the republican front runner trump has regularly left out. it members of the alliance were not fulfilling their commitments, especially failing to spend at least 2 percent of their economic output on defense

. nato chief against oldenburg says any suggestion that allies would not defend each other, undermines western secured or and henry, with those of us stefan simons is in washington dc and joins us now. actually have fun. what do we make of that? well, here you go, your half a classic donald trump. uh, you know, it is interesting. he didn't say this in front of a crowd of people who are regarded as really interested in form part of the, of the united states. this was in south carolina and the competing event and people, they are, they don't care about nato or russia or even ukraine, arguably at the moment, at least that is they care about the border issues and inside the u. s. politics of the economy. is that correct? so why did he say that to it is astonishing admission after all that is true to

stay relevant with the outer world. and he a chief that thought of course, this is classic trump telling a tale of what he and how tough he was when he was president. and then he told me to offer meaning actually admitting that if he is in power, nato is pretty much obsolete or at least article 5, which considers that or says that an attack on one day to partner is in a take on all later partners. and they come in to help them. this is obsolete and not going to happen anymore if you don't pay up according to donald trump, again, classic trump stuff on. so what's been the reaction thus far? the reactions from the g o. p senators, for example, is to down play it, they say exactly what i kind of said here. that is donald trump, just talking that he is of course, not in charge to cancel a u. s. membership or stewardship off of nato. that is

a decision which has to meet in congress, so therefore you have it. it is a lot of talk. a lot of fostering here of donald trump, they down play. now the wide house for that matter has a complete different reaction. they took this serious, they take this serious and the spokes was 1st. first of all, the white house came out saying that this is of course and dangerous international security, as well as the security and safety of the united states. and in so many words on the thing is here. this is donald trump, trying to stay relevant and to be talked about and being in the media on the weekend that the rest of america is solely focused on super bowl and taylor swift. we will certainly get to that, but thanks for the to use that. is there stuff on simon's in washington many thanks . here's a look at some other stories making headlines around the world at this hour. ron's president, even him while you see has called for israel to be expelled from the united nations,

speaking into iran to mark the 45th anniversary of the islamic revolution. where you see a huge israel of committing genocide in gaza with us packing. iran has long supported him. austin has praised its terrorist attacks on october 7th in pakistan. independent candidates back by jailed ex prime minister, came on con, have won the most seats in parliament. the bible muslim league led by another former premier and it was sharif, is in 2nd place. both groups, lack of majority and or seeking coalition partners, sport and pop music are about to collide in american footballs, superball, returning champions, kansas city or facing san francisco. the players powers on the field always attracts millions of viewers, of course, but many more will tune in this year. thanks to the romance between a kansas player and the queen of pop. it's the american

supposing event of the year. and she is the pop superstar of a generation making tailor switched to an asset. this he had super bowl a hugely anticipated occasion of the person size. i think what she brings, the bigger picture. yeah, it just brings women and men together. normally just football and music in the camaraderie of the fun of just football and music and like but it's not sweet music taking who's of the game. it's the boyfriends, kansas city chiefs tides and travis kelsey. their relationship is taking the sport by storm and seemed to be racing earlier games of sky high. the super stop based a new ranking tune around to make the las vegas contest after a concert in tokyo. a private plane believe to be here's reportedly

touch down with plenty of time to make kick off much to the joy of her friends. hey, i tell you what it's been good to go for our team. some people want to call tailors with a good luck charm. i just think she's another member of the chief kingdom over all the big family. so i'll welcome her in. it's fine, fine by me. i'm from brazil, everybody. rosie was watching through the city right now. so, so, so big around 500 private gates, i estimated to be flying into las vegas for the big game with around 300000 people defending on the city. this year's super bowl is expected to be the most watched american football game. eva, let's bring an entertainment journalist caging matthews, who joins us from los angeles. it's good to see you. k j. i have a confession to make. i can barely contain myself,

which is hours away from the biggest us sporting event of the year. and the question on everyone's lips. will taylor swift make a cameo as i would say, and i have to bet on it. yes. i mean they're saying that that's her private jet. that has reportedly already landed hours ago and las, and remember it's just a 45 minute flight from l. e x to the las vegas airport. so she should have no problem being at the super bowl today here in las, in las vegas on sunday to get ready, she should, she should have no problem being in the v. i p section for the super bowl. got it to be fair as a major fan myself, let me clarify a football. this is shaping up to be a terrific match up, but this year clearly there will be lots of new viewers. some of them called them. um, well, wait for it. swift ease. who is the bigger winning?

sure. the nfl or taylor taylor. don't bet against taylor. taylor always wins. there's no person on this planet that knows how to market herself better than taylor swift. she's just the consummate market. i remember just a week and a half ago, she was at the grammys, and when she won her warranty made history, she's been promoted. her upcoming album, which is supposed to release in april. so nobody can market themselves better than teams with us. what that is, but saying that she has definitely helped the super bowl. she is definitely held the can cheese and she's definitely not the nfl. there's been a recent survey saying that 12 percent more americans are now interested in football. and younger girls are now in football. the kansas city chiefs, which probably the weight may not have no. what about now know the kansas city chiefs here in america. so yes, she's done just

a lot for all of those parties involved. and interestingly enough, i'm hearing that she's brought more than $300000000.00 worth the brand exposure to the kansas city chiefs. what that means is that if they were to advertise on pretty radio television, it would really come easily to about $300000000.00. and that's what she's given to me in terms of exposure by putting them on the mac. following up on that, we've seen a lot on social media of fathers saying they finally get to enjoy the game with their daughters, boyfriends with their girlfriends script has done a lot for football, and the chiefs in particular. but her presence in football is still eliciting a lot of negativity. what do you make of that? you know, there's a lot of conspiracy theories out there. what you're saying, she's a plant. we only have 15 seconds. i could say k a. 7 bite it's, there's no conspiracy theories are a real relationship. she's not going to go out and doors bite and during the

superbowl, but she's bringing more. i've off the super bowl and i'll leave it at that. got it . that is an entertainment journalist, kj matthews. many, many thanks. and for your brevity, you're watching dw news from berlin. there's more news at the beginning of the next hour. not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand. this is the day i'm in that's look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is weekdays on d w the it started as just a cloud. then the sky grew dark. they had a.
