the, the, they're watching do the, is coming to live from berlin, the leader of 11 ons as well on the list that threatens new rules. strikes on israel is a broader war or rock house in those rollo, also friends, a cypress, if it cooperates with the israeli military. this after israel approves plans for a military operation against has the law in southern lebanon, also coming up on the show. russia and north korea sign a security patch vladimir putin and kim jong, and also agreed to expand trade and cultural ties. this, as cogent, makes his 1st official visit to north korea in 24 years. and any major court case in ecuador, a japanese firm faces,

allegations of so called modern day slavery. we haven't an exclusive reports. the i'm quite richardson, welcome. tensions are so ring in the middle east after the leader of the pro iranian has belong, alicia threatened a fight with no rules. it's a broader conflict with is round breaks out in a televised address as well. a leader has an, as rollo warrants that nowhere in israel would be safe in the event of an all out war. he also threatened to attack cyprus, if it opened its airports and bases to his rarely forces earlier as well, threatened to destroy has the law, the is rarely army, and has, will have clashed almost daily since the start of the war. and casa in october, was at the very latest from our correspondent, tanya kramer,

in jerusalem. tanya gave us the very latest, if you can, from israel what were you seeing such costs for the tax? actually since october a $7.00, the turbo tax then and they have escalated between a husband, the end is where in recent weeks now they reach deep. uh, you know, his bullet attacks have reached deeper insight as well. but also is rarely a tax. have reached depot inside and they've been on and then on tuesday has been law, has published a video footage that shows a 9 minutes long video that shows a high for the northern is rarely city. a major city the in the north and showing a sensitive side such as the port, such as residential areas and other sites and very much detail of the city. and of that is basically a scene he has a message by his beloved, the can reach everywhere. that is of great concern to is really,

is that something like that could actually happen. and of course best rates went up again. officer that'd be heard before and administer is very cuts as saying the time is close to decision that there could be an all out war. and now we heard of course, how someone scholar. also, a speaking are from living on that his block would reach any way no such resurrect . it's not something new between husband on israel, but just comes at this particular a time. it's very much a very tense time here between has blah and israel. and of course a in israel adding to that, you know, since october 7, tens of thousands of his babies have been relocated from the border areas that is simple ghost towns in northern israel. and that's something is where i cannot list with a for the long term that have been diplomatic, of course attend. so we had seen a monday and tuesday,

the us envoy almost hoaxed in he was in the region, is read the engine living on trying to defuse to the tensions. but also of he's been hearing from is rarely officials there would be favoring a diplomatic solution. but at the same time, we've been hearing also very strong calls in be some greeks that if such a diplomatic solution could not be reached, the only solution would be a military and invasion or military solution to this problem. tanya kramer with that update for us from jerusalem. thank you so much as always and let's get some analysis with military experts. marina moran from king's college london. rena. good to see you, given these events of the past few days, how likely is a war between israel and has the law good evening. well, what we're seeing right now is the height of the tensions between is israel and the house bloss, especially after the appearance of the drink fruit that you,

which made each ro feel more vulnerable. it is not known by the one that footage was recorded. however, it shows that passable a has the ability to penetrate is fairly defenses and might reach it's um, critical infrastructure meetings at each rose feeling knowledge, strategical in their ability and once to preempt any potential work with high school law. but is that a good time for israel to commit to a new war and open a new front of it is questionable. and i think it will depend a lot on the outside players who might try and help mediate some sort of agreement in order to avoid expanding this work toward a slave on our end of that very much goes to my next question as well. of course of fighting the war and gaza. if, if this does turn into a war, it would mean fighting on 2 fronts. what would that mean from israel's perspective?

i think it's going to be very difficult to israel. firstly, we have to understand the bulls from us and has people have adjusted their modus operandi. they have improved design, or if they've been logical skills and specifically hospitalized. it's one of the best, our non state actors up to date. this means that it will be not as easy or as hasn't been easy for east throughout the phase. come off and go. so it will be even more difficult for the idea to face the house full of fighters on their own turf. and some reports estimates a passport has some 100000 fighters. house will also receive support from around. so it's quite a powerful force. we have to understand that. and we'd have to understand that the is really military is now also being exhausted from its operations and gaza. it's

not ending and opening another form in the new wars fighting in lebanon might not bring about the desired results. i don't think that the military is a correct tool here to look for a solution to our political problem. we still cannot, has the law as a well armed non state actor, but, but what about lab and one of the lebanese government? is it possible to say how they would factor in here? slowly? it is possible that the lead on these armed forces would provide some sort of support because they are a thoughts was hast blah and they have been for many years. and the united states has been providing health is will even use armed forces. however, i don't think that they play and they can play a major role in this equation in terms of say, or military capabilities. therefore, i don't think that we should count on the fact that the east rarely idea will be

closely coordinating 0 ration with width. so when we buy these armed forces, all right, i think you as always, that us military expert at marina maroney, to rush as a flight of air pretend, and north korean leader kim jong and have signed a new agreement. the details, mutual aid, if either country were to be attacked. video also includes partnerships on trade investment and cultural inch mandatory and ties. it comes as put and makes made his 1st visit to joan yang in 24 years. and also has both countries of face escalating stand offs with the west. a welcome 790 filled with sun fire pump in circumstance. north korea pulled up all the stump, slits most high profile visit to in years. it's the 1st trip paid for the russian president vladimir putin since the 2000 and much has changed since then. the visit to select snows,

career is growing strategic importance for russia. since its full scad invasion of ukraine, russia has been heavily sections by the west. this increased international isolation is that puting district, some ties was of the provide states. many believe the own yang will provide more weapons and munitions for rushes. warranty trade, this is banned under un sanctions, and something both sides denied. must go, could reciprocate his food indebted you assistance as well as help for the meals because he is miss in spite surveillance programs. it's a situation that's making many in the west anxious. russia try in desperation to develop and to strengthen relations with countries that can provide it with what it needs to continue the war of aggression that started against duke. right. so we are pretty much concerned about this because this is what's keeping the we're going after the 7 many the to lead is set down for tullocks fusion, st to came for his countries to quote and gun. and he said the new agreement they

signed would form the basis of long term relations going forward. and i was like, what's in my skin, which would be very much appreciate north korea's consistent, permanent support to russian policy. napoleon, including in ukraine, national labels also are struggle against the imperialist policy. you sent those for decades by the united states and its satellites. it is in relation to the russian federation of the machine. it actually is configured. it's kim jones who responded to by pledging his country's full backend for russia in ukraine. the situation in the world is becoming more complicated and changing rapidly. north korea will continue to strengthen and close the engage in strategic communication with russia and will continue to support order for us as policies unconditionally. west infections support these 2 full. i'm

a coldwell allies closer together. not makes many in the westfield extremely, an easy just to say, gosh someone else keys are re go correspondence reporting on russia after the w wasn't kicked out of the country. good to see you. can you tell us more about this new mutual defense pledge between russia and north korea as well? claire was, don't know the details because neither of the sites have published this agreement. yet we've heard from conjuncture who said that this new agreement is now elevated. the relations between both countries to an alliance, if you put it. but luckily, to put in a sound, it's been a bit more nuanced on this. and she said that the agreement provides quote, for the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties. now, this is, this really depends on how these 2 countries define mutual assistance. these

documents. does this mean troops, material, or humanitarian aid? this is something you will be have. we will have to wait for a to, to know and, and so. so this really is possible that this new agreement is either an upgrade to the relationship, or it can be a formalization of what is already happening, which is this, this military technological cooperation between russia and north korea, against the box of, of russia's aggression against you. great, let's talk more about that. is it clear where this agreement leaves things regarding ukraine? a well, we knew that what have lung vladimir put in one 5th from north korea is the continuation of this support that should be receiving from north korea out for his were effort against ukraine. and if these talks went, as well as we are being presented, then he could probably he can still count from this flow of weapons that western

allies say russia is receding from north korea. and of course, the russian of korea to deny any such from those bots. there were also investigation from the you when that has confirmed the use of north korea made ballistic missile in and the gas ukraine. so, and then this is not a good method for ukraine and not because of the north korea will be able to provide any a weapon which will magically change the course of the war. but the war in ukraine has turned into this war of attrition. and every bit of munition helps to get an edge against the enemy. and this is why, of letting me put a needs munition from north korea. and this is also why this is not a good message for ukraine. so given all of that, how much cause for concern does this pose for the united states and its allies? what kind of reaction have we seen from the west as we've heard

a strong criticism over the, in the run up to this visits. we've also heard in the reports now the us secretary of states criticizing goods and buds and the criticism from the west, dozens concerned on the ukraine. and the other big point of concern is that our nuclear weapons and north korea is the only country to test that conducted the nuclear test in the 21st century. and for many years, russia, a permanent member of the united nations security council has been supporting this regime sanctions imposed against north korea. and because of its nuclear program. and now the war in the west is just russia, which has a veto, right? in the united nations security council will, will use its to, to shields control on. and his regime from sanctions. this is something russia has

already started the wing, and the worry in the west is that's, that's the co, stronger corporation with russia will, will make, came stronger and disregard. thank you so much for that update. that is j gosh schuman l scheme. very much appreciate that. and we can bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines to south africa, africa as a single remo poster has been sworn in for a 2nd term as president. last month's election, solving a post as party, the amc moves it's absolute majority in parliament that for the 1st time since the end of apartheid. but it has now struck a deal to form what it calls a government of national unity. blistering heat, topping $48.00 degrees celsius has caused the death of hundreds of worshippers during this year's harsh pilgrimage and saudi arabia. thousands more were affected by heat stroke. nearly 2000000 muslims from 22 countries took part in the pilgrimage this year,

operating the machine like this when the of a call 5 is he was processing cold, his leg, the injuries from that and other accidents left him disabled. but he says the depend based company protocol which exported the product, never compensated him. he says that was little consideration for safety and no support for those who were injured. definitely feel my illness with my legs. i only feel like i'm half alive when you incapacitated, they would tend to not know you anymore. they don't help a tool because they don't know, you know, if you're not with anything, if you say you incapacitate digital, that's the thing about photo. calico of chavez is from ecuador santo domingo region is just one of 338 walkers from across the country. we're suing the company in court. the accusations include negligence, lack of safe working conditions, health care, and clean drinking water is a huge case, which also includes claims of child labor and modern slavery center. can yonah says

she started working here when she was just 6 years old and spent decades and inhumane conditions? she told us she gave birth to 7 children on the plantation with no medical care. my daughter, it was very tough. we had to work during pregnancy with our big bellies we got used to it. sometimes we'd be working with a fiber right up until birth pain started lowering, liking maternal leave she until the women golf back to work directly after this phone. the work is show us how they would hospice the of a cough for turning into 0 paper and fibers. they claim, not only was it dangerous, they usually had no breaks or days off. if they didn't work, they wouldn't be paid a home campaign to say more than 80 percent of the work is we've been extreme poverty headquarters government to testify during the trial against photocopy. why? this is what the labor minister told us for. we have no have video to previous

governments, including the ministry of labor, didn't stop the situation that from my point of view is one of the most emblematic because here we are talking about slave labor. in the case of food who car was. it was all there actually for the guy was executed to of a car explore to photo car was car and manage. it insists the workers always had social security and medical care. but he says, responsibility for those things was possibly in the hands of the local contractors until 2018 and you'll be ok in place. the company could have had a closer relationship with the contractors to find out if the problems are processing the fiber. i'm eligible for that is something that could have been improved due to the idea of life, but to speak about slavery unit. extensive moines more is very, very, very far fetched to know the bulk of say they lost childhood education and health.

and also to see we have suffered at this company. so we demand just at the moment at the end of the day, the judges to our fathers and mothers either left was of those judges. and the penal court into the constitutional court could make historic decisions. setting up the responsibility and accountability football of his rights in ecuador or so as we've mentioned, the cases are also about forced labor here. and i'd like to talk about that aspect with joanna. you weren't jane's co founder of freedom united, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking and modern slavery, and also the chair of the board of the commonwealth of human rights initiative, a very warm welcome to d w. let's, let's put this into perspective for our viewers. what would you say the likelihood is that somebody who was watching from home has as unknowingly bought a product that was made using forced labor thank you very much

for having me today, but the likelihood is ugly, very high. but g o i and beta bought something that's produced with false labor because this is a crime that is and then make it is global. and it is in the supply chains of many of the everyday products that we buy from supermarkets um, from retailers and also in on occasions from services. and so i would say the trunk is a much smaller that we haven't used a product that has been produced at some point with expectations on slavery. and what are some of the industries where you see the greatest abuses in this regard of modern slavery and force labor is affecting a range of manufacturing. i've a code to industries, a map and the freedom united. the old is intransitive. and you can go and see that when costing is produced in countries where it says with a highlighting here,

the 1st day, both sides as in china, in the creek region and a coffee. and then the as a heavy metals, we know for us about the conditions in eastern colored guy when children and adults are forced to mind goods that go into that tronics. and there is a long list. i definitely encourage anyone to look into that to just learn and on the find exactly how full se, but enters into all supply chains and into the goods that we are so common. they rely upon and not in our day to day 9. i l o says 28000000 men, women and children around the world are experiencing forced waiver. it's just a staggering number. what has to go wrong for us to see a number that is so high? i think it is staggering. absolutely. and that number is looking to be increasing

the estimation of our estimation. so i think realistically it could be a lot more. and why are we seeing an increase today? well, the people of, or in the situations of expectation because they're vulnerable, that means that they're taking great risks. but means that somebody is exploiting that fund, the ability to benefit from, for the most part that they've especially it, of course. and the case is a full saber. um, how does that vulnerability and stuff? the key question and i can point see some of the changes that we seen in recent times. they explains why some people are more vulnerable. the i lo, itself, the stuff for labor organization pointed out that there is a real need to focus on ensuring that that are safe rates for migrants. we need more safe regular rates. but my grounds say that there are no reason situations where they may take

a risk. take an opportunity to ask you to find lots of big sports to also with the economic challenges that we've helped me in the high inflation people as a squeeze into the places where they take, but they wouldn't otherwise normally take these increases. they've under ability to for cyber about, i think with thing and the increase numbers and the estimates try that. you are james. thank you so much for your time today on d, w and s. thank you. turning now to some other news and authorities of issue some warnings for some 70000000 americans. as temperatures store across the united states, the national weather service, as it is the 1st significant heat wave of the season. and the heat has been brought on by what's called a heat don't phenomenon, and that is when a high pressure system hovers over the same area for a long time and france warm air underneath. meanwhile, firefighters bottle blazes in california that are forced thousands of people to leave their homes. of this is just one of

several wild fires currently blazing across california. a combination of hot, dry weather and powerful wins have created the perfect conditions for fires to spread. forcing thousands of people to evacuate the region. more than 1600 firefighters were deployed on tuesday to respond to this particular fire. north of los angeles. some travelled by boat before traversing steep clicks in order to suppress the flames. it's a pain, this is the most extreme fire season. i record it, i think it's, it's going to be um, on, on average like our, our outlooks that we're looking at for fuel moisture content across the united states. so not just in southern california, but across the united states is going to be different pockets within the united states that we're going to be diverted to our resources nationally. shared resources are going to be there were 2 new mexico is also facing similar scenes.
