the, the, this is the, the news life from berlin. a conflict of the east front 11 on both uh, settings to escalate into a full blown wall. we'll take a closer look at hezbollah lebanon's bond for iran back melisha. that's redding, its troops of buffalo also coming up the opposition followed right. national valley, searching into poles. i had the french elections and young people are running around the policy. we have from young activists in front and nato against brittany to name its new chief judge. prime minister mazda roadside is now the only candidate to replace against adult them back off the his rival pulls out from the contest.

the i'm british plan to do welcome us secretary of state anthony, blinking has of israel not to father escalated the ongoing conflict because by law, across the israel, 11 on board at both sides have been exchanging fire on an almost daily basis since the her mazda attack on eastern late last year, and this week is where i was ministry. very early in the thirty's had approved an operational plan to invade lebanon and secure the board up. let's take a look at insights ministry capabilities and bought this would mean if a ball broke out. a handful of rockets, fired from southern lebanon, intercepted by his railey air, defense is a common occurrence in recent weeks. but some of those rockets make it through. and israel has retaliated with devastating airstrikes has below,

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 boars with israel's and span and has become a major political force, backed by hundreds of millions of dollars and funding from around the militia of 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 as part of the strength of $45000.00 soldiers, including full time and reserve as fighters. the groups leader referred to having 100000 fighters and 2021. if that were true, they would have more soldiers than the lebanese army. last year the us estimated that has the law also has a $150000.00 rockets and missiles more than enough to overwhelm is rarely air defenses and cause significant damage to infrastructure. in

a more israel has one of the world's most modern militaries, in addition 287-0000 active duty soldiers through about 465000 reserves. it also has about 1400 tanks as well as significant artillery and multiple rocket launch and capability. 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. so it's unlikely to use them right across its own board, and 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, blacks, and all out war would likely causing if it can damage the is rarely and lebanese cities with high civilian casualties after months and finding him austin and gaza. israel's army is also in danger of being overstretched and there worries that intense fighting could bring in iran and the u. s. and

a major regional conflict. and like all state of the correspondence back of it as if there is rarely ami was prepared to fight both thomas and his beloved at the same time. well barish, these ready 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 and a plan of attack for carrying out a full scale of confrontation with hezbollah 11 on. there is little doubt though that the 2 front will would stretch a military that has no troops and, and the,

you know, results is tied up in many friends. also, not forgetting the, the amount of troops and results is that a ton of also in the occupied westbank. so, military experts certainly would probably recommend opening out the 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 will 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 thursday, these very i'm a claim to have calendar has will look 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 b, as randy military have been continuing and carrying out these 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. weapons depos, 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 been a has and of course less than the results is in the force that has will have uh, and its ability to try and attack those northern community. so that's certainly an, 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 there support among these very population for possible defensive against as below i think the answer to that question is certainly, as the people have spoken to support might be a strong word there because you know,

edited tickets that is rep, particularly wants to go to war and certainly to open a 2nd front at a time when it's 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. if his blood is 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. so for example, the northern of the biggest northern city, you know, they say that they are expecting this to happen and that they do think it's necessary when they were there for the moment to do those. rebecca auditors in jerusalem, thanks so much. i to so in your upfront is due to a volt and stop and actions at the end of the month. and polls show the opposition, followed by semester riley code to come out on top surveys,

also show that the message is resonating among young motors in recent geography in elections the far right to came to nearly 30 percent of the youth vote nationally. the, the correspondence on it finally got join some of the policies, use me southwest affairs to see what's driving the rise of an extra what comes into the glass of the tool. that's why i'm going to prune even the getting up for snap elections in funds. these active as a, with the far right national rodney, who's the most up to date and, and plus the as a team that really easy with the party won by a huge mountain. and we see your opinion mentions across the country. a lot of the supports really i'm strongly young about as well. first of all, the head of the youth we was on the 5th truck from thinks he knows why disliking accord in his region and the distance there off one of the buses to go to school. there were a few shots close by if you would pay career if everything is increasing to be centralized. there's always people of all students that cause of freedom of the

price is if you and electricity, you've gone over them. especially if the student was the, the activists explain why they decided to support the far right. yeah. one more just barely. i was with the green policy because with the green pods. a. yeah, there's a lot of green washing. i'm drawn multinational raleigh onto the hand. they speak the truth or they don't make false promises the for, but the 1st one is for joe, amongst all the policies, it's the national rally that comes closest to ensuring my security. for example, when i go out and if i'm followed on the straight, it said to say that it's always bias. there's some kind of clear sun sometimes that can be french, but often than not, it's really about uncontrolled immigration. but i mean, uh, the search issues formed the backbone of the national riley's platform. the parties popular 22 on preston show to them,

but the law is the one turning them into hot topics on social media. he's largely credited with mobilizing the youth vote with a snappy video. so now default writes messaging has fun flow. try to crowd is with the lead region, the town of the lease or said the far right dominated here as well in the recent your opinion, actions taking the 50 percent of the vote at the tone is seen better times since the 1980s. the closure to fix started back please has led to an estimate of 25000 job losses in the region. could exceed the failure, but other political parties to connect with voters has contributed to the rise of default, right? i will do the buttons on can we all concerned that way? not really surprising. here we badly have public services, few jobs. dwindling wages of diplomacy, rate of 24 percent. in recent years we've seen a strong migration of people, all the north african assaults,

a holler in origin from the powers regions. they don't find a lot of jobs in um, the national valley here on a local level, as usual, has profited from stigmatizing the other to the not. but the union has found a way of fighting back by fact checking the national are ready. they've shown how i'm looking for right, and b doesn't happen often, and voters in parliament against measures the claim to support such as raising the minimum wage increase in 8 the students and for social housing. let's go back into on the far right, active. as i've discovered some posters, they just put up have already been vandalized both to admit it happens a lot. there's always and honest because of the way, way portrayed by the media and by the lesson johnson, people still have this image of the national valley as race system, not say, yeah, it's the politics history. that's why you're supposed to see the simple. so the body is gaining momentum and not just pure, but all of the funds,

and it's making progress and its efforts to convince voters. it's just a moment the political party, despite the fact that the the, the correspondence on it finally got a file that report for us and drugs been out for more. sonya, you follow these, you factors into a, for your report. what did you experience during your reporting or what but it's um, i actually found it incredibly difficult to interview. ordinarily young people about voting for the fall, right? for as you pointed out, these activists of the party. but getting, you know, kind of ordinarily voters to talk openly about voting for the far right. still is a bit of a taboo. i would say at least speaking openly about different camera. what was easier for me was speaking to, or the voters. and the style is what i was and they were, you don't, you got to speak about the support for the fall, right? unfortunately, they had to on 2 occasions. listen to comments like, oh, but you're not really french. i don't want to talk to you or i was us, but why don't we the person but it was mixed ways what i was doing there. of course,

these are isolated incidents, most of the people i spoke to a perfectly nice, but i think it goes to show that the slicing immigration total from so to provincial towns has lived the far right as the neighborhood union told me to kind of amplify incidents of claimant violence that doesn't turn stopped kind of anti immigrant immigrants and sentiments in these areas. i heard from some of the people who told me they felt the tone that really changed because of the migrant didn't feel afraid. cheddie more defense. it depends on safe to go out at night. young people particularly have traditionally voted for the length of the political spectrum, but now they are increasingly drawn to the right. what's prompted that change or what i think sort a lot of young people, especially in these kind of preventions tones and one of the reasons i think the reason they will think the far right is the same as the level does. i think the media kind of erosion of public services, things like hospitals, like a public transport, which means people have to rely on the cause. and that's where the far right,

you know, it seems to be striking, accord with its campaigns on, you know, kind of putting the pushing down gas prices cost of living. but i think one of the big factor for young people is the presence of georgia on monday. the 28 year old telegenic president of the, of the master riley. he's a political 40 sheet of marine the pain. and i think he really kind of embodies this attempt by moving the payment to detoxified the party and move it away from some fits motor i because positions and but in all schools is huge. on social media . he's got over a 1000000 follow wasn't to talk a lot of young people. theme is, you know, media savvy and dynamic. and he has an interesting back story. you know, he grew up with a tough suburb of virus. he is, the phone will be tied in immigrants. he dropped out of school, he joined the national variety of succeeding. he, he, he kind of presents himself as a candidate who loves from so the frame she's, you know, routing for french follows promising to impose with respect to the immigration policies. and i think, oh, this seems to be resonating with the young voters in fonts. in the recent days, sonia the image rate of a 12 year old jewish girl has shocked fronts. is this incident going to impact the

elections? well, it's certainly kind of stocked. i would say for the tensions on what is already a devise of campaign, it's been talked about a lot that's been condemned. this incident has been condemned by lawmakers on the campaign trail. there was a demonstration badass loved last night against anti semitism. and of course the backed up to this is that that had been an increase in price, a rise in incidence of anti semitic abusing vitamins in from c o 2 percent. but that is renaissance, of course, is home to the largest jewish community in europe. and of course, the political context of this is that the far right and actually already led by marine, the pin, whole, the found of the spotty was anti semitic. he was convicted of denying the whole of calls. this party has changed his position and has, you know, come out in strong support of jews and i'm, i'm the state of his when in the week of these october 7th attacks. meanwhile, on the left you have

a follow up party whose leaders on looking at national has been staunchly profound a student and he's been accused of making some anti submitted comments and we some months. so i think french oh, the jewish waters are kind of confronted with some agonizing choices here between the far right and the left alliance. both these, these are probably going to be the biggest forces in, in, in parliament of these elections. and this has really been discussed a lot right now in funds. so, and if i'm to go to invite us, thanks very much for that outgoing dots, prominence, democracy looks up to become nato's next. the secretary general is only challenging . romania as the president plows are on, is, has withdrawn his bid and his now endorsing mr. to to, to take over when nobody is the end. stilton bag stance down in october as young stilton berg, hands over to mark rich. it's the outgoing dutch prime ministers, personal motto, we'll 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 forging coalitions and, and bringing difficult positions together. richard is famously low key. he lives alone in the modest department in the hague. teaches weekly at a local school and gets around the city by a few years ago, a video of him cleaning up his own skilled costs went viral. this image of com 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 in prime ministers kaya call us that it was finally time for a female secretary general from an eastern plank country romanian president close you'll. honda is and meanwhile, didn't throw his head 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 fruit,

to with whom he had clashed bitterly over the years and rule of law issues. so the doctor, man, the real responsible man for home. the goal is to bring home getting to the city 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 nato. that deal is a controversial start to root this term in a way it wrote to you in an image to the consensus will of 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 mantel of trump. lewisburg, i think the most important task of any secretary general is to make sure that as you unity within the lines that's going to take all root is considerable

maneuvering skills was now 32 allies. political shifts underway and a war next door that's bound to run on long into his tenure expected to begin october. first arose got camilla is a former deputy executive general of nato. we asked over the market as the new head of the lines we'd be able to ensure lost and support for your brain. 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 that president biden has, has had. and in that case, i think it's quite healthy, is that a number of legal member states and to leave another loans have 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 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, the meaning 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. it was a former deputy 2nd general of nature. rose got to him in a bad uh quick look now at some other stories making headlines around the wild tropical storm. alberto has 8 separate communities along the coastline of the us state of texas. in the town of south side beach on our goes to long island, the flooding following the storm damaged roads and left some houses without par

locals or bracing from all storms to come. a russian president vladimir fulton has signed a series of deals with as we have the means counted, bath including on oil and gas, and nuclear assigns, forcing these in vietnam on the findings stop as a donation to a lot of asia optic, including a defense packed with north korea and at least 2 people have been killed in more injured following ahead on train collision into their a test strain undergoing trials to improve its speed. it's a freight stream getting culpa. the cause of the incident is being investigated and the injured had been taken to a nearby hospitals can yeah. as unpopular finance bill has boss to significant huddled on its way to becoming law off to follow that, voted it through. on a 2nd reading, the proposed changes would mean tax increases from many already struggling with the cost of living. thousands of young people have taken to the streets to oppose it. a

new generation of canyons occupied the streets of the capital nairobi as on the mountains of a controversial finance built onto right police use wall to kind of onto your desk . a non attempt to dispose protest of the government continues to push the budget through parliament, but they were false to jump some of the most contentious elements, including a 16 percent tax, some brides fund, an annual tax on top ownership. despite government concessions, be sweat level position that stopped on take talk a spread to streets across the country. i'm out today because i think this government has decided that they own this country. they don't own this country. we actually own ken. i think that's what they're forgetting,

so we're just here to remind them, but kind of belongs to all of us. want to stand out all. i says we are the gen z. we want to determine how us utah is due by we are we all it says the gen z. we are not yet a to, to remind you connected with the soul, cause busy that to verify because good know me. so really oh, so what do you do on the recalls for the president to resign the, the, the, or the on the law make his past the bill. second reading on thursday. the legislation is now almost certain to become law for protest to say they won't back down to news now from the european football championships and, and own going to see the data in spain beach defending champions easily. and one of

the most anticipated matches of the tournament entity defined data called adult color. fiarty was in despair after the ball bombs stuff is me. and ended up in the met 10 minutes into the 2nd half of that victory. to explain through to the last 16 topping group be but 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 is still up for grabs . in the 2nd match of the day, denmark in england died one all in front of it. england took the lead of the 18th minutes through a buying munich start hurricane by denmark, equalize and the 1st task, etc. of martin. if you would mind off of the break, those teams had johnson's to school, but the result remained. 11, england stooped, a group ahead of denmark, leah slovenia. again. serbia also ended in one old girl. as never daunted by a roll of good,

bad or ugly. he loved what he did indeed what he loved kiefer sutherland and the paying tribute to his father canadian active donald sutherland who has died aged 88 after a long illness. he never todd and worked regularly up onto his death. donald sutherland korea was as varied as it was long born and raised in canada. he began acting well studying and 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 a punch in james servers, the male animal. and to this purpose it rolls and mesh and don't go now helped propel him to stand up. shirley
