the, the, this is the, the news live from berlin. conflict of the it's around 11 on both uh, settings to escalate into a full blown wall. when you take a closer look, it has been la lebanon's file folder, iran back melisha. that's reading it's troops for battle. also coming up, nato gets ready to name aids, new chief dodge prime minister mako to is now the only 10 today to replace the install to back up the his driver pulls out from the contest and the canadian back to donald sutherland dies of the age of 18 years. the announcement is made by his son kiefer sutherland, who stays his father was one of the most important doctors in the history of film.

the dish manager, welcome us, or can feel state entity banking has urged israel not to further escalate the ongoing conflict because the law across the is around 11 and border. both sides have been exchanging fi on an almost daily basis since the ha mazda tag on these ran late last year. this week is where i was waiting for you to be in that that'd be tend to improved an operational plan to invade lebanon and secure the border. let's take a look at each side's military capabilities and what this would mean if a war broke out as buller rockets fired from southern lebanon, intercepted by is really air defense is a common occurrence in recent weeks. but some of those rockets may get through, and israel has retaliated with devastating airstrikes. has the law was founded as

an anti american and anti israel militia in the 1980s when it carried out deadly car bombings on american forces in lebanon? the group has 5, several bores with israel's, and spent and has become a major political force, backed by hundreds of millions of dollars and funding from around the militia prizes secrecy and typically doesn't reveal information on its capabilities. so any estimates of its forces are just that. but in recent years, us intelligence has parted strength of $45000.00 soldiers, including full time and reserve as fighters. the groups leader referred to having 100000 fighters in 2021. if that were true, they would have more soldiers than the lebanese army. last year, the us estimated that hezbollah also has a $150000.00 rockets and missiles, more than enough to overwhelm is really air defenses and cost. significant damage

to infrastructure in a war is real, has one of the world's most modern militaries, in addition to a 170000 active duty soldiers, there are about 465000 reservists. it also has about 1400 tanks, as well as significant artillery and multiple rocket launch and capabilities. it also has an air force with over 200 jet fighters and almost 150 helicopters. and that's why they considered to have nuclear weapons. it's unlikely to use them right across its own border. there's also the iron dome, an advanced anti missile system that is intercepted thousands of rockets from hezbollah and a mouse. something has belie itself, lacks an all out war would likely cause significant damage to is rarely and lebanese cities with high civilian casualties after months and finding him austin gaza. israel's army is also in danger of being overstretched. and there worries that intense fighting could bring in iran, and the us are in

a major regional conflict. basketball if i'm data, look out is funded rebecca auditor as was following events in a journalist alom. rebecca is the, is really ami prepared for possible 2 front full one against a mazda in the gaza strip and hezbollah in lebanon? well bearish, these really military maintains that they are prepared for anything. they have had troops stationed up in that northern border region. since the very beginning of the war with gaza when his blood began attacking the northern parts of israel on the 8th of october, they've been training up there just in june. there was a robber lodge training exercise, almost a full scale preparatory exercise for what would happen under an attack and how they might proceed with an attack of their own. and just this week, we also heard from the military to say that they had green lip. now, on a plan of attack for carrying out

a full scale of confrontation with his bla 11 on. there is little doubt though that the 2 front will would stretch the military. that has, you know, troops and, and the, you know, results is tied up in many fronts, also, not forgetting the, the amount of troops and results is that a tied up also in the occupied westbank. so military experts at me would probably recommend opening up a 2nd front at the same time. and that's certainly what they the as ready military have been trying to hold off from doing. they certainly wanted to try and at least wrap up the, the goal that they have is ongoing and gaza before they opened up that 2nd front. but as that one gallons of drags on, we may see that they will be confronted with the decision of having to open up the 2nd front. and on 1st it is very ami claim to have gained. there has been like amanda in southern lebanon. what is israel strategy behind these targeted killings as well, in lieu of carrying out a full on confrontation with his blood to try to push the militant group back from

the border to allow for there is some 60000 residents to return to the border communities at the is, randy military have been continuing and carrying out this tit for tat conflict with has the militants in your, in that tit for tat they have been targeting has been a combined is in order to these targeting attacks as well as also infrastructure targets width in depth post launching sites and the, and the like in order to try to mitigate some of the, the tit for tat that's coming in the other direction and to try to lessen the force that has the has and of course less than the result is in the force that has will have, uh, and its ability to try and attack those northern community. so that certainly, and a strategy that i, i think what we will likely to see is a set of the comp confrontation that will go further than these targeted attacks. and is the support among these very population for possible defensive against as below?

i think the answer to that question is certainly asked the people i've spoken to support might be a strong word there because you know, edited tickets that is repetition. lee wants to go to war and certainly to open a 2nd front of the time when it results as stretched. but a, it is when you speak to people residents in particular, there's a resignation that this is a necessary step when i've been up in the north and i was there again yesterday and in previous reporting trips up there. when you talk to people, they say that they simply wouldn't return to those communities. even all that will isn't carried out. it has, but it's not pushed back. they, they say that a political solution simply wouldn't make them feel safe enough. and even when he talked to residents that on from those border communities, people in high for example, the northern of the, because northern city, you know, they say that they are expecting this to, to happen. and that they do think it's necessary. we live at the moment, did of those rebecca auditors in jerusalem. thanks so much. i of outgoing adults. 5

minutes to knock on it. uh, look. septic um nato's next secretary general is only challenge. romani is remaining as president plows you on is, has withdrawn his bid and is not endorsing mr. to, to take over when nobody's in stockton bags tense, down in october. this as young stilton berg, hands over to mark route to it's the outgoing dutch prime ministers. personal motto of go with the flow come to life. it's hard to imagine a successor, more similar in nature, to the still with norwegian, who loved the alliance for a decade. the pragmatic, likable. uh, they are very capable of foraging coalitions and, and bringing different positions together. richard is famously low key. he lives alone in a modest department in the hague. teaches weekly, at a local school and gets around the city by bike a few years ago. a video of him cleaning up his own spilled. coffee went viral. this image of comb, confidence, plus familiarity after more than

a dozen years is dutch prime minister, one him early backing by most allies. dashing the hopes of a stony and prime minister kaya call us that it was finally time for a female secretary general from an eastern blank country romanian president close. johan is, meanwhile, did throw his hat in the ring, holding up consensus until now that also allowed regular e. you consensus boiler victor or bond to exploit a personal grudge against boot, with whom he had clashed bitterly over the years and rule of law issues on the document. the real responsible man for a whole mess. the goal is to bring home getting to the city, the city of this time route to had to compromise by signing a letter confirming. he would maintain a pledge made by stilton berg to allow hungary to opt out of supporting ukraine at nato. that deal is a controversial start to root this term in a way you wrote to you in an image to the concerns that show up nato. so i hope the

realtor will not make more of these kind of concessions to national leaders depending on the outcome of us elections in november root. they may have bigger problems. allies backing his candidacy seriously evaluated his ability to assume stilton burns man. those of trumpet westberg, i think the most important task of any secretary general is to make sure that there is unity within the lines. that's going to take all root is considerable maneuvering skills was now $32.00 allies, political shifts under way and a war next door that's bound to run on long into his 10 year. expect it to begin october. first that are bought by teddy shoals arose. i've got somebody that is a former deputy secretary general of nato. we ought to, whether mock or to as a new head of the lions, we'd be able to control last thing support for ukraine. i think again, it will depend a lot on how much europe has to pick up the slack. sure. the united states,

you know, step back from, from the kind of commitment the president biden has, has had. and in that case, i think it's quite healthy that a number of nato member states has to leave another one's assign. now these long term security commitments to ukraine, including the some of the largest states, such as, as france and the u. k. and so it means that there is a firm commitment not only in political terms, but also in terms of the kinds of resources that nato member states in europe are, are prepared to put into assistance to ukraine going forward. and i think that the router will have a lot of a lot to work with in terms of commitments of, of money as well as, as political capital. but he may be facing challenges because it will, i think, a worry many nato capitols in europe, if uh, if the us does step back. but i like the way, last year with the munich security conference, he said look,

stop whining about trump and get on with our business. we have to be prepared to defend ourselves. so that's the right attitude. a former deputy sector general of nato rose a government at their news now from the ongoing european football, the championships, web and own gold. see the data in spain beep defending champions it to me. and one of the most anticipated batches of the tournament. it's in a defend because they'll color fiarty wasn't despair off of the ball, bounced off his knee and ended up in the next 10 minutes into the 2nd house. that victory to expand through to the last 16 topping group. be with 6 points. it's in the main seconds ahead of albania and croatia. meanwhile, 2 drawers and group c means progression to the knockout stage. the still up for grabs. in the 2nd match of the day of denmark and england died, one all in front for england took the lead to the 18 submitted through by an ext uh how to gain but deadlock equalized in the 1st task. i'd say of martin sure. month

after the break and both themes at johnston's the school, but the result remained. 11, england stopped the group ahead of denmark, slovenia against serbia, also ended in a bundle of droll, never daunted by a roll of good, bad or ugly. he loved what he did and did what he loved. the 1st sutherland bank tribute to his father canadian act, donald solomon, who has died aged 88 after the long illness. he never retired and walked regularly up onto his desk. donald sutherland korea was as varied as it was long born and raised in canada. he began acting well studying a university in toronto. this is 1952. i said, do they have a wonderful theater there? and i went and i auditioned and i was given the par, jim james servers,

the male animal. and to this purpose it the roles and mesh and don't go now helped propel him to stop them dripping with your golf. shirley and the pots just keep coming cuz i am d. b profile created sutherland with nearly 200 roles including and the more recent blog bus to series, the 100 games we both noted above, given children that i'm not wasteful, or take life for specific reasons. sutherland received an honorary oscar in 2017 and also and emmy and golden globe awards. his son and fellow act kieffer, paid tribute to him in an online post describing him as one of the most important act is in the history of film. that's it for the moment. coming up next often

to break the the business takes a look at renewable energy and out. some of the batteries are helping with the transition away from fossil fuels. i'm going to expand it in berlin. even about 45 minutes from now. the dream of revolution in 1979, it dictates as the most uh was supposed to have that changed my life. the people hoped for a sara society. i imagine we would change the world. tens of thousands of messages from all over the world wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream. it was simply a spirit of optimism where we encouraged each other. and so many things we.
