the the, this is dw news line from balance. tensions are rising between south korea and ross of, of the, of lot of approaching signs. a new defense deal with north korean leader kim don't . sole says it's nuclear arms neighbor could be emboldened by the facts and calls it the 1st piece in the region. also coming up. and he's really as pride, but fortunately damages a school in gauze of these really military continues. it's from the bottom of the palestinian territory, even as it reverses calls on its objectives, saying it no longer believes the minutes and prove how mosse can be completely live

in los be a position fall right? national riley is surging into poles that head of french elections and young people in particular are rallying around. the punch in the gulf is welcome to the program, south korea as condemned to defense pack that north korea signed with russia. earlier this week, the foreign ministry called it the threats to peace and stability on the korean peninsula, sol summit and rushes, some best of the to the for administrative discuss. it's concerning. all the details of the military pact remain on the clip. software we have is void that it could encourage north korean aggression. sol announced that the in, in response that it was considering sending weapons to ukraine to support its

defense against russia. and earlier i spoke to dr. john nielsen right from the center for geo politics. at cambridge university, i asked him how sol as interpreting a warning by letting me put you who said support to ukraine would be a very big mistake as well. i say what the russian leader is trying to say is that is that the sas grants are minded to provide the best time legal support to ukraine . i suppose. the phones volumes, munitions turn ons, ukraine's ability to resist the russian depression. but that would be seen as a red line from the russian perspective and a normal this a real critical question is, what does the involve security cooperation between moscow and pre owned gang? really a might have to you're a cool that north korea has been speaking to developing the satellite technology capabilities, unable to have satellite launch just a few weeks ago. but the sense is that in return for newest careers,

provision of munitions and military support to russia in fighting the war and ukraine, the russians might be minded to provide that critical technology. and of course, the language of this new security, this comprehensive strategic agreement between the 2 countries has alonzo as career because they fear the amounts to something even time demand to the full volume, actual lines. that's certainly what the north koreans are saying. rush, spend a little bit more circumspect, but if you look at the language of that new agreement, it, it, it creates a commitment on both sides to come to the assistance of the new partner with the media, despite the very, very quickly event of an attack on either one of the signatories, well, this is certainly increased tensions on the korean peninsula, but if we sort of zoom out a bit, how does this rushing north korean deal effect via political strategies with players like nato and, and china to well, i mean,

i think from the point of view of the united states coast as career is most important that why we've already seen efforts to bolster by natural cooperation and 9 will recently try natural cooperation through the us japan themselves. korea. joint defense menu is f. it's to strength them to terrance against that from north korea. i think with some way away from any suggestions that there would be active in house cooperation with nature partners. although that's something that's been happening already. of course, close coordination between south korea and nato. we've had of course, visits by the screen president on the sidelines at the nato summit. but then again, when they, when, when it comes to the question of reducing tensions on the plane to the china or of course is a critical potential palm the china is, has no interest in seeing tensions escalated worries, of course, of the very existence of a north korean scratch south korea will bolster us cooperation with last year in

japan and from china is perspective given its own concerns and its own emissions over taiwan. and this has china seas and at least trying to see if they want us to, to reduce the risk. but there will be further escalation, so china and away is perhaps the most important player. and all of this kind of will be looking potentially to try and restrain. don't gang whether we cannot in this context. because of course, the little screens of been looking to reach out to russia precisely to announce their own security preparations is an open question. does a deal get missing? is all sounds a pretty serious the do you get the feeling that this partnership is destabilizing the whole asian pacific and when all the yet. but it certainly doesn't help in terms of ensuring that tensions are attempt at the minimum. and then of course, we've seen recently with duels create, developing, apparently reinforcing it signed defensive facilities of a d. m z. we've seen

a north korean troops across briefly over into the, into the d, m z. which of course has led to participate response from the task readings. that doesn't seem to be a deliberate publication. reflects this effort by the north koreans to both of the around security on the land border. there is always the risk. the conflict might escalade through miscalculation and misperception, not just on land, but in the west sea. the circle of northern limits line, the box of maritime battery between the 2 careers that has long beam problems there in that area. and i think it's in lights of these new agreements and the move bellicose language coming out of bodies must go and killing young. the solar eclipse allies are increasingly concerned dr. john nielsen. wright, associate professor for east asian studies at cambridge university. thank you very much. pressure of the age and

a half months of war and gaza. israel still says it plans to destroy homos, but in an interview with israel's channel. 13 broadcast of the spokesman of these rarely ami re add merrill daniel has already made this remarkable statement. come on, us is an idea. whoever things we can eliminate a mazda is wrong. i am not referring to the alternatives. the political lash alone has to decide on that as well defense forces will implemented. but this business of destroying hama is simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public. if we don't bring something else to guns and then at the end of the day, we will get home also be on the come in to come up. a pause is classified as a terrorist group, but many wisdom countries, in addition to its military, when it has government guides us since 2007, and as a political force. let's take a look at what's left off the group and the danger it still poses the israel spiders firing rockets. it is real from southern lebanon where it cooperates with

other militant groups. error rate alarms are frequent in tel aviv, well within those rockets range. this is something israel's military wanted to stop with its war in gaza. it's still happening. there are no precise independently verified figures available about from us. the strength in numbers of fighters, for it stops of weapons, is real estimates that how most had more than $30000.00 fighters at the time of its terror attacks on october 7th, last year. and the between 12 and 14000 have been killed in fighting since then. however, i must, may be able to fill its ranks with new recruits quickly. israel has also ceased stores of weaponry, putting rocket monsters, missiles and guns. and it's really military analysts told dw, earlier this year, that 70 to 80 percent of how mazda is arsenal had been captured or destroyed. but

about half of the masses tunnels are estimated to still be intact, allowing the group to fide, regroup, and potentially re arm itself through the smuggling network. then there's the groups leadership, which is largely survived. yeah, yeah. seen was the group's leader in gaza, still runs operations from hiding the mouse and the groups and political leader is male hand yeah, isn't katasha the leader of the military wing mohammed dave is thought to be hiding and goes as well. israel did kill dave, deputy marwan isa, but that is the closest it's come to taking out the senior leadership as israel reckons with a war that could go on for months to come pressure for us. these fires growing, otherwise its forces may be overstretched unless able to react to other threats. i'm going to go into the studio by give them a shadow. he is the c o of midland message, right, institute off for regional regional for an a policy at

a guild. let me just quote you to say that we are going to make how much disappears to throw sand in people's eyes. how important is this statement coming from? one of these really monitors most important, both indeed quite the rear expression of brought this coming from the professional level. and these were from the idea of, in many ways, express single, reflecting the great frustration by the idea of we are talking about the idea of reaching a certain level of the military achievement when it comes to reducing from us military capability. but there's a clear understanding that from now on the really operation of the 15 commodities, most of the political diplomatic emission, then a military mission altogether. but of the many, many people upset that from the beginning you cannot completely destroy hamas. and yet these were the government and also the military is that we will destroy almost doesn't the oldest come a bit late. but i think that right now when we speaking with this, they can come us, we need to speak specifically about the goal of a basically removing. come us as a government,

you anything guys out on the day after. and the for the major discussion is about an alternative create and go down the people from us. and this is a political discussion to, to manly refer to the return of the p a. now the is where the government, because of its own political limitation, he's been unable to on willing to even discuss the option. and if i knew i was talking about not replacing homeless, done with the fuck, that's done with the movement that the mazda and these didn't get the moment. but when we speak about this, it didn't come up. there's also there, you know, co unique opportunity at the moment because it's also about the same thing to the purposes of the 7th of october mexico by hamas. and that was mainly about stopping is really so the normalization. so the chassis is there right now, but again, with the political paralysis on these really the current is really government tends, you cannot really move to the 2nd for the next phase. and i think that's mainly the goal of the very statements to actually approach that. you just really public, you know that to create pressure on the politically the shift to create any kind of a political directive for the day after. so what has been the this offensive and

gaza this one goes to what has it achieved? what guarantee i think that you can do, you can discuss the reduction of how much that are 3 cubic capabilities. i think the last s, it's military for military point of view was to take over the philadelphia line, this specific buffer zones separating egypt. and it goes to sleep, the main site of smuggling of weapons. so the military, whatever the military we could actually achieve to reduce the, the, the military force or from us. but was a chief, but the military action is somewhat exhaustive itself. and we also have to relate to the fact that everything that happens and as of right now connects to the major trip at the moment, or in the middle of the open war between his body and between the israel. now how most, how much is more than just militants with guns? it also was the whole civic administration of the gaza strip. what's going to happen to that? what i think does the discussion today about differentiating goes somewhat learning

some lessons from the us experienced in iraq and other places. and providing us some kind of an embassy to the civil service. understanding that we have talking about governing units and separating the so called suicide, the legal saying wall from the civil service, 7th and so on. but the, all of it is part of a reconstruction forces. it could only be initiated if it is connected to a broader political initiative. we spoke about who's going to govern how mazda in the bay area, govern government, did they of 3 instead of from us. we're talking about the more, the national forest environmental region. alexis, they won't come unless it's with the file as being an invitation. that's what we're hearing for them. so it's all in the end, this entire crucial reconstruction phase connects with the broader political initiative. now you have called israel's handling of the palestinian issue, a strategic asset for iran. can you elaborate though? indeed, i think that, you know, we, we always used to speak, especially these really about which strength is most severe for ease where the future, the police didn't, you know, the iranian, and we were all wrong without interconnected. when we speak about areas of chaos,

if we are not moving forward with reconstruction and guys have a great store of ation and destruction that we see today and gaza. the vanya is, is acceptance of both. i'm quoting the entering chaos in human in syria and just even whole in iraq and gaza in this situation can provide them with the best conditions unless we create something goals. and we also relates to the offer made by president by the to be the to be within the alliance of moderates. a mainly to contain you run you in growing the original influence that can only work again if we create some kind of a common ground of the police doing an issue. so you see how those 2 topics are intertwined. and the caring for all this is by days when the government serves the running, a split ticket goes up together in paris, the river sent misconduct to darcy for olympic athletes took some details, fresh samples. so that was the quality it has degraded to. and the concentration of the coal live bacteria is higher than the recommended limits. the games begin in late july and the backup plan is to postpone open war to swimming events. for a few days. we stay in france, which is due to

a vote in snap elections at the end of the month. some polls show the position file, right. national riley could come out on top surveys. also show the messages especially resonating among the young voters in recent european elections. the far right, well nearly 30 percent of the useful in fonts, dw correspondence on the found to come going to some of the parties use way south west of paris to see what's driving. the search in popularity is an extra what comes into the tool. that's why i'm going to approve people in getting up for snap collections in funds with these activists with the far right nations. rodney, who is the most up to date 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 younger voters. well, 1st 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 sarah along the buses to go to school. there were a few shots close by if you would pay korean. everything is increasing to be centralized . there's always people of all students that cause if you don't want the, the price is if you and electricity, you've gone over them. especially if the student was the actor, this explain why they decided to support the far right. the emergency fairly. i was with the green positive with the green pods. a there's a lot of green washing. i'm drug mall to the national raleigh going to the they speak the truth, the big don't make falls. the problem is that the, for, by the 1st 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 emigration need. i'm going

to search issues form the backbone of the natural riley's platform. the bodies popular 22 on preston, jordan, 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, tell you the crowd is where we reach the town of the lease or said the fall right dominated here as well in the recent yard, up in an extra taking the 50 percent of the boat, the baton, to seem better time since the 1980s, the closer looked excited factory has led to an estimate of 25000 job losses in the region, could exceed the failure, but other political parties to connect to voters has contributed to the rise of the fault, right? the buttons on here, we are concerned that way. not really surprising. here we fairly have public services, few jobs, dwindling wages of diplomacy, right?

between default assigned in recent years we've seen a strong migration of people, all the north african subsaharan origin from the powers regions. they don't find a lot of jobs and the national valley here on a local level, as usual, has profited from stigmatizing the of the, to the no. but the union has found a way of fighting back by fact checking the national are ready. they have shown how looking for right and b doesn't happen often and voted 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 split up have already been vandalized both will admit it happens a lot. there's always because of the way we approach rate by the media and by the lesson johnson, people still have this image of the national valley as racist. i'm not saying it's the politics history. that's why it's supposed to say the simple fact that this is

the body is gaining momentum and not just fuel but all of the problems. and it's making progress, its efforts to convince voters. it's just a moment political party despite the dw correspondence on it. finally, got to follow these activists and put in the try and file batch report, and she described her experience with french votes that as we get, how do i actually found it quite difficult to interview or do the young voters will voting for the fault? right? at least on capital, you know it, many of these people like you've seen that report what like like you said, active as of the party. but getting you to just people on the street to talk about why they're voting for the far right. seems to be quite the type boosting. it was easier for me to speak with all the voters and the tones that i visited and be able to, you know, kind of go to speak about the support for the far right. your, you know, unfortunately i also have to listen to a few comments like when you're not really french and we don't want to talk to you

one or the person said ok me with that was of mixed race and said, you know what i was doing there but of course, these were isolated incidents. most people i met were, were most likely. um, people perfectly nice, but i think what this goes to show of schools is that, you know, growing immigration to learning and prevention towns in fonts has led to a bit of a backlash by default, right? they would bring up fios the local labor union, told me they've been amplifying, you know, incidents appointment vitamins. and i think all of this has ended up really stalking anti immigrant fields in this region. an incentive. and so, you know, some of the people i spoke to in the town of home, me, susan told me they felt like the tone to change because because of the migrants, they said it didn't feed french anymore. that the, you know, kind of, it says unsafe to go out at night. when i finally got the reporting. now, in germany, authorities have a rest of 3 people for spying in the city of frankfurt. the trio allegedly scouts of the cafe looking before the targets. germany's prosecutor's office did not say

who they are suspected of working for. for more on this, we are now joined by president, corresponded to simon young simon. 311, spies detained. will know, can you tell us, as you get hot uh, these uh, 3 well as citizens of russia, one and i'll media and one a ukrainian and the federal prosecutors office says that they were working for a, for an intelligence organization. specifically seeking to gather information about a ukrainian citizen here in germany, observing a cafe with that person was said to be at now these 3 man has been arrested on thursday in frankfurt and have already been brought before a judge at a now being held in custody now that it has been an increasing number of suspected cases of espionage in germany recently is germany and the cross as of services

conducting hybrid wolf at as well. i think increasingly we can say that nato has said that easy is very concerned about hybrid attacks coming from russia. the german government has said something at very similar. and that's because of a, a growing picture of different kinds of attacks that, sorry, but attacks, for instance, a major attack on the computers of the social democratic party. h q, a, back in 2023, but also on companies in the aerospace. so i to defend sectors here in germany, but also russian dish information campaigns. we've seen spreading of foot fake news . the reflects badly on the german government, for instance, during the recent european election campaign and the european commission said that russia was focusing on germany more than any other you country. and we even had suggestions of a link, russian intelligence link to

a recent major fire at the defense, a company here in berlin. so we've had these threats from vladimir putin that he's going to provide long range weapons that can be used to strike germany. and we've also had, of course, the background is the gemini has recently said ukraine can use german weapons to strike russian territory. so it's a very dangerous context of dangerous scenario. and in that context, russia seems to be carrying out hybrid attacks, w's political correspondence. i'm in the young less. thank you, simon to the us now, which is in the groups of a searing heat wave parts of the north east of seeing reco temperatures on the southern border with mexico. and our climate already means hot weather year round. but now the heat has turned deadly for many migraines attempting to cross the border. this one was crossing the us mexican border illegally. when they hit, they came, suffocating. paramedics working on both sides have saved to life. but some aren't

as lucky. you know, by selecting the person who attempted to cross united states was abandoned by the people who brought them here a and e. and today we're tree. if the body, one of the migrants have been dying and extremely high temperatures for more than a week. now, on the part of the border that's in the past. so in texas, we'll sort of just dare say around one micron dice every day, but it doesn't stop people from choosing this dangerous route. it's a lot, a lot of heat, a lot of suffocating heat. there's the sand, you go through a lot of things in the desert. it's cold at night. there's rain to. it's a lot. the truth is that it's too hot or a little dehydrated here, but it's too much is too much heat because doesn't go below 43. 4445 degrees

is just too hot. a lot of migrants travel through this deserts on the us self and border every day. researchers say deadly sheet and this region has become more likely due to global warming, us. so sort of just said safest for migrants to enter the country legally. we would highly encourage people to use the port of entries. don't try to cross the legally, especially through the desert, because this brutal heat is unforgiving. and that's so what's happening is these people cross over and they're losing their lives. but such a warnings do no detour. many of those trying to cross the hottest day of summer. i still do come you're watching the news you as a reminder for a top story of south korea as someone's rushes and pass it up over a defense packed, that's president vladimir putin. son was north korean leader kim jong south through

u. s. foreign ministry calls as a threat to peace and stability on the korean payments. so this worries and it could in college and all of could be in a direct deposit from me on the news team. so knock leveretts it's and we'll have a, we'll do is update for you at the top to the guy that lives in berlin from the in between the

to the points. strong opinions, clear position, international perspective. germany's leading industry looks to be losing speed as it's formerly venerable carmakers. those are overtaken by electric vehicles and aiden. shied on our terrace. the answer find to hum to the to the

really see the world as he's never seen it before. the drive now to dw, talking into the is germany losing its mojo. europe's biggest economy is steadily sliding downward in international rankings. and now it's leading industry looks to be losing speed. germany's formal re venerable car makers once responsible for more exports turnover, and jobs than any other branch of the economy. risk being surpassed by electric vehicles made in china were carmakers of sleep at the wheel. and our terrace, like those, imposed by washington the answer or could they put globalization into reverse. today we're asking.
