the, the, this is dw news coming to you live from berlin. tonight is real and a moss are still far away from a ceasefire. the mill was in group of boss proposing changes to the us back plan. but secretary of state anthony blinking says some of the changes are unacceptable. also coming up, could this be a bridge to war? look at whether ukraine could target crime me is cursed, bridge with long range from the western. the i break off, it's good to have you with this. the military group, tomas is calling for changes to a proposal for

a trust deal with is real changes that the us says in part are unacceptable. neither is real nor her moss, which is classified by many countries as a terrorist organization have publicly committed to the plant. and the us secretary of states was in guitar on wednesday, lobbying for the proposal. on monday, the human 2nd security council endorsed the plan calling on both israel and her march to be enacted immediately with no conditions. but fighting continues with causes health ministry, which is controlled by him off saying another 14 people were killed in his really attacks. on wednesday, the speaking of the press conference and joe hall blinking addressed those amendments that are solved by a moss. a mouse has proposed numerous changes to the proposal that was on the table . we discussed those changes last night with different colleagues. and today with the prime minister. some of the changes are workable. some are not. but in the days

ahead, we're going to continue to push on an urgent basis with our partners with cutter, with egypt, to try to close the steel. because we know it's in the interest of israelis, palestinians, the region. indeed the entire world. and we all agree that the deal has to be grounded in principles of the ceasefire proposal that the entire international community supports i as journalist spelling, sliding. what kind of lever is the us control to get him off to accept the deal? so the us can try to put some, uh, um, pressure on the how much do you think the controller reads by uh today to the, to spell the last latest from that though, how about the for me, i don't even see this step as a way to pressure, the leader said the inside because this trip, but there is a difference between the leaders the outside because of strep,

specifically in doha, and those that are inside because that's trivial. yes. in what the legal say because this trip is it not interested? we're not gonna rush according to some reports to reach a deal. he needs to see some guarantees either from the americans or from things that are either themselves announcement that they are ending their war and best he can eh, but actually amounts of victory over israel or after what they happened to be the 7th. so the best to make them stay is here. i don't see that the, the 2 parties can reach a deal while both of them are not willing to give up on the main issue here, which is where the uh, accept, dental visit. all that's the last day is that because of the trip or and the other side, that's how much accept that the to uh, basically this, the arm themselves of this method themselves. and because it's true and with talks at the stage, the are right now is really prime minister benjamin at yahoo. we know that he's been pressure to formerly commit to this deal,

but i'm considering what thomas wants. that pressure seems lighter tonight. is it as well? i guess the, the nothing you all who sees this as a positive thing because the americans already said yes, the last week to me and the also today. and that the israel gave lots of concessions after all, the israel has already agreed to many things that the american demand. that is, it goes as a basic reg, i've read through the same draft that's almost agree to say on the 6th of may with minor changes. it's specifically on the idea of uh, transferring come praise one to try to phase 2. i'm on demand the some more clarification on that. the part is royal, they wanted to stay this way by just saying that the media is, will do whatever it takes and who the to pressure would be to part is to reach a permanent ceasefire. so the only pressure that is on a benjamin the day on right now, as i see it is internally from families of the hostages. that process every week on

every day, basically in the order to pressure the government to reach of the let's talk about why you are in the north of israel to night. the liberties militant group, hezbollah has launched one of its largest rocket attacks on israel. one of the largest, it's the start of the war in gaza. um, tell me what you're seeing, where you are to well been here since the today's afternoon, 215 rockets with 5 from south the what the, the, it's right in looking community is that in the military sites here, from what we understand, there are no casualties but lots of damage, what's called the as the you can see here on the screen. fire broke out to in many areas in be a little bit lower than the upper delete also, and type areas, the area that haven't even heard sirens before. since the silver h windows, so this started here. so what we're seeing here is a clear escalation. this is coming up to destination yesterday. apparently

a top commander was the so apparently he was actually killed. a man is ready, the air strikes the image, who by himself in the lab, and on the among good be along with some 3 other sub official. so that was apparently a very important meeting for his beloved senior leaders there and the all of them were killed. that's why we're seeing this escalation here. and we've been saying escalation escalation for the past few weeks. now we can start school, think this a war and although that's we're still officially a police the a below the, the threshold of a work journalist valley exciting tonight in whether it is real with the latest on . yeah. to conflicts following. thank you. it's crazy. military says that it has destroyed the 3 russian surface to air missile systems and russian occupied crimea. it's the 2nd report in strike on air defenses. on the potential of this week, ukraine says the strikes targeted

a russian s 300 system and 2 more advanced s 400 systems near bel, big military air base. and so i've asked to poll a new arms deliveries from the united states or increasing ukraine's ability to strike russian targets further away. and will say, it's only a matter of time before keith might attack another vital target in crimea. the bridge linking the occupied financial or to the russian mainland. let's see how that might work and what that would mean for the conflict. this video from ukraine's military intelligence service allegedly shows c drones attacking russian ships off the coast of crime, in just a few attacks out of many in the past month on the peninsula and the russian naval forces dr. there, including drone and missile strikes, attacking the navy off crimea makes it harder for russia to blockade. ukrainian ports and attacking land based forces weakens rushes ability to wage war on the

ukrainian mainland. crimea has served as a russian stage in grand since 2014. when the russian forces legally annexed the peninsula from ukraine, the move lead to international sanctions and isolated russia from the west, but also allowed russia to station tens of thousands of troops there as well as tanks and troop carriers its blacks. the naval fleet was docked at the port is the vast apple, and it serves as an air base as well for bombing raids on ukraine. for much of the war, the catch straight bridge, the connex crimea, to the russian mainland with russia's main military supply route for the peninsula, making it a prime target for ukraine. the bridge has been attacked multiple times and the legend truck bomb in 2022, as we see here. and again in 2023. it's status as a major target and came back into focus in march of this year when german military personnel debated striking the bridge with a german bill. taurus,

missile. a recording of that conversation was leaked, creating a scandal until recently. ukraine's western backers forbade it to use long range weaponry on russian territory. but that has changed both of us and germany have specifically authorized keys to use their weapons to hit targets just inside the russian border to defend the city of hockey. in the northeast. new deliveries, including attack comes missiles from the us, open up a whole new range of possible targets, however, attack them to have a range of 300 kilometers, put in crimea, well within their sites. the camp straight bridge is a no brainer target. and russian military planners have built a new railway line to transport hardware, overland to crimea, possibly in anticipation of further attacks on the bridge. ukraine were to destroy the bridge. it would be a blow to moscow,

the ability to supply its military, but its impact on public opinion in russia would likely be greater annex thing it from ukraine to russia has been a major point of pride for russian president vladimir putin. part of what he sees as his historical legacy. i asked military analysts marine in the role of kings college london if the latest ukrainian attacks and crimea could be assigned to the curse bridge could soon be a target again. well, what do we have to understand here? is at this juncture in the war before you crane is going to get at sixteen's. ukraine needs to make sure that they can operate with impunity, meaning that they are right now, hunting russian area defense systems. and we're seeing it not only in in the wrong crimea, we're seeing it across the northern border. and so me and hark you've. so i think

that um, targeting those air defenses as part of that strategy to basically make the skies safer for the f. 16 set might then be deployed, and yes, the courage bridge could be a potential target. however, given the shortage of long range missiles, would it make sense for ukraine to focus their entire efforts on the courage bridge, which will be very difficult to destroy? and that was military analysts, maureen, him a role in speaking with me earlier. germany's military need more soldiers on wednesday, defense minister boars. the story is at wind a new plan to increase the number of recruits and the armed forces. and it's not just germany, more european countries are taking steps to strengthen their militaries after rushes full scale invasion of ukraine. germany ended compulsory conscription, 13 years ago. it has struggled ever since to recruit new soldiers. the german

defense minister has a simple go to boots, the number of soldiers instead. so according to all international military ex. but it must be assumed that russia will be capable. i want to stress capable to attack a native state or a neighboring state military related from 2029 on once i left the bus stop. also, guys. currently, the german army consist of some 180000 soldiers, historian swans this number to grow to at least 200000. according to the new plans, every 18 year old in germany, men and women will be sent to questionnaire feeling as in will be compulsory for young man was initially not for women. some 400000 young germans will be contact at this way. as of those share who expressed interest would be advised that the physical examinations up to $10000.00 new recruits will be identified every year. they would serve a 6 month basic military service with the option of signing up for 23 months. but

there is some concerns. i think it will be a big challenge. so the beginning to finds the capabilities of training, personal training installations to train all these people. i think everybody is agreeing. uh, but if you want to organize the defense of germany and on a territory that we need to hire capacity in the heck we have to reorganize, and we have to go with this law in the hard way to achieve the goals we want to achieve the story is plans still have to be discussed and the 3 partially coalition governments before they can become law for the liberal f t p policy in particular, it's vice of the germany system will be voluntary and not compulsory. like in scandinavia, we have one conflict, but it's also clear to us that we shouldn't let things slip into a swedish model. we'll keep this in mind as we look at the plans in detail when they're available in writing for the majority of german support. the reintroduction of some form of conscription,

that's among the generations. that will be affected opinion is divided. i think for so i think i went through it think like a simply because i think you can get to know lots of people there. and i think it's just something different and i think it's also an experience that you're trying to get to the wise someone come stick to a certain extent, rob, say, 10 year olds, have the opportunity to think, what do i actually want to do work and all i do something good will kind of says what is to uh, it's been fine because of the, of the opinion that this is something that simply encroaches on people who has no rights. and that's generally a mistake mind and fill up. the new funds would not require changing the constitution with their for not require a 2 thirds majority in parliament. so once the government parties have agreed on the details, conscription light can become law most likely before the federal elections in 2025 . so you want to dw news of next a look at the every day challenges of being a single mall. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by

the day i hope to see you this, the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in the snow gets current. use events analyzed by experts. i'm critical thinking is this is the weekdays on dw, the the is it is someplace.
