the, the, this is dw news live from berlin. these really military kills a leader of a top come off ally and loving on israel releases images that it says show the strike as fears grow of a wider war. and then at least also coming up. china is premier unexpectedly scratch, so meeting with germany's economy minister, that's as the e u prepares to pose new terrorists on chinese electric vehicles. plus the surprise, here's this got germany, fans singing at this year's european championship dw

catches up with the bank, whose brothers, who have set their loss of the german national team to music and ton. chevy, being the american evans dean, is good to have you with us. we begin in the middle east where there are growing fears of an all out of war between israel and the wrong back has belonged militia and 11 on israel released these images, which is says show saturday strikes had killed a senior, how mos, ally in eastern 11 on near the countries border with syria, these really military said he was targeted for his involvement in terrorist activities against israel. israel and the lebanese militant group had been trading near a daily border fire since the october 7th from us attack. as i,

as monochrome or above the american universities, a route what could trigger an all out war between has the law and israel? well, there's a number of thread lines to cross in order for it from scalar war. the problem is that everyone is expecting a kind of the convention to door. whereas in fact, what those vendors are doing right now, or surgically targeting a junior level or even senior level military off with what to do to break the comes back, i believe is it says if is there and actually it goes forward and starts targeting people who are part of the practice of a physical law and it's just not to go into best recency that is really there. the government has been hinting to the fact that even the secretary general of, of his will house on the front of that might be a potential target we have seen. that's also another thing which might actually border guys on the fire is if it goes after it on and targets like it did when it

targeted, does the running consummate in damascus? all of these elements might need us to a full scale award, but i think that's one has to always keep in mind that what is happening right now . and 11 on is itself a full scale reward. however, it is still limited and going forward we, we don't know that everyone who is interested in keeping the or limited might actually lose control. and we might have a full scale award on. all right. well, is real and has been a lot did find a war previously back in 2006 if it does come to a full war this time around, how would it be different to well, there's a major difference in that and or $611.00 on western quote unquote, another one country in the sense that lebanon's economy was still excellent compared to the business situation we are experiencing right now. sticking up more

importantly, a little bit on has a lot of allies and friends across the world and particularly across the region. one has to remember, it's not only about going toward, but the in turn in front has to be unified as it stands because if, as well as secondary and messaging and health as well as 3 to its opponents within living, you live in a new speaker. system, the test called the it test cause a kind of a secondary intention. so going forward, if any of the war breaks out, we don't have the luxury or we don't have the safety nets that was provided by the senior to government at the time. nor do we have a lot of friends in the international community award winning to come to a more important to you after the end of the war. but when it went into money to a husband or the construction. so, it is not only about going toward which actually existing toward which is a need problem. you mention these sectarian divisions, and as we mentioned, who yourself are based and be route. how are ordinary people in lebanon

responding to these rising tensions? and the border between has the law and israel. what does a make of it? what? unfortunately, the majority of the news don't really experience what the people of the saw on the board did was with us started are actually experiencing. however, the extension is that i am getting phone calls on a daily basis from living use experts who are, who are planning to come to visit for the summer vacation. and as you are well aware of, never known as economy hinges primarily on the contributions of benefit of the if it needs the sport oh, or around 10000000 around the world. so all of these tensions are actually disrupting the whole idea of what 7 on is. and this has been also causing a lot of people to try to get their families out. because at the end of the day, these people are part of this thing going on for some of the vacation. don't want

to be stuck here and more important to you, the idea that this time around there wouldn't be no ceasefire. and as you mentioned and you'd report, there's always the idea of where to pick with what is happening in the us, which is something of a kind of a doomsday scenario, which everyone wants to avoid. that was my problem. i bought from the american university of bay route. thank you so much. thank you. well staying in the region, the hughes top diplomat is demanding an investigation into a shilling near a red cross field hospital and southern gaza that killed at least 22 people. use of railroads on the social media platform, access those responsible for the attack and the city of rafa must be held accountable. the mosse run health ministry and gaza has blamed israel for the strike. israel's military says the incident is under review, but there was quote no indication that it had carried out a striking the area. let's get

a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the firefighters in greece say ablaze on the island of adria, was started by fireworks launch from a yacht. authorities say it's been brought under control, firefighters have been battling wild fires hand by days of fierce wins. greece is now in the midst of a sheet wave. egyptian prime minister, most of them are really has ordered authorities to revoke the licenses of 16 tourism companies. they also must refer their executives to the public prosecutor. the order came after more than $650.00 objections died during this year, as has due to high temperatures. it says that companies engaged in deceptive practices defense kilograms, to has, without proper authorization. thousands of people have marched and the annual buddha passed pride parade to protest the government's anti eligibility to policies

. same sex marriage is not recognizing hungry. and only heterosexual couples are allowed to adopt children. at of this year's parade, 35 embassies urged hungry to scrap laws to discriminate against the l. g. b. take you community. well, german economy minister robert, how back is in china to discuss trade relations? but a plan meeting with premier lee chang was cancelled at the last minute. with that explanation, the cancellation comes and made a growing chinese anger over e u plans to increase tariffs on chinese electric vehicles. how big said the, you was open to negotiate, but said that china is backing for russia's born ukraine was what was really damaging trade relations of this. that means that the russian war of aggression and the chinese support for the russian government is already damaging trade and economic relations between europe and china. premier and the long run. these

tariffs are detrimental to both sides and some may even harm others without benefiting one south. a tariff increase will not only harm the interest of you you consumers, but also severely impact the long term healthy development of the european automotive industry. all right, to talk about all of this, i'm joined in the studio by d w as china analyst clifford conan. so clifford um, it seems a bit that how back was rather surprised that this meeting with the chinese premier was so abruptly canceled. what was behind it? well, i think the chinese sense they could, they can smell blood. they realize that there's weakness within the position when, how big because they are, they see that there's also weakness within the german position as well. because we didn't degree within coalition. there's a difference of views on how to do with china. how back is a bit more barish, perhaps a bit, a bit more hawkish on how to do with it. then the child throw off shots who is very,

very much in favor. both of them recognize wherever the child is extremely important to the german economy. so with the sort of divisions there, china is able to express its anger at these new tire ups on chinese, electric vehicles when it comes to how big visiting they, they cancel the meeting and it's, it's curious not are. okay, so there's chinese anger. but is this anchor in going to end up being a proper trade war between and china and the you? again, i think these divisions within the you make it very difficult to, to see how things are going to go or slip on the line. the, the head of the commission is very, very much in favor of, of keeping the pressure on china. they've done this big investigation into, into your chinese cars and found that they're built with massive subsidies under dumping loads of them on the european market. so they want to, they want to try and secure a level playing fields and indeed have except this during his visit today. at the same time, he also said these are not meant as a punishment. it's only

a bad securing level playing field. so i think they use probably be more prepared to negotiation and is less likely to be as hard core or as, as robust and it's responsive as the americans for example. all right, so this electric car market is one issue. but another very important issue for germany, as we mentioned, is china is support for russia as this war with ukraine continues. where exactly does china stand on this conflict? but i think this is one area where the e u is very much resolved, as it is in how china approaches it's friendship with russia when it comes to, to the war and ukraine. they feel that china is just giving too much support. it's not giving support in terms of direct support in terms of weapons and they've been reassurance, is that this won't happen from the chinese again, for the same time, it's sort of tacit support is helping the war efforts against ukraine and really

angers the europeans. so i think that this is one area where we're going to see more and more pressure coming from new york inside and something to which at the, the chinese are going to have to weigh up whether they're prepared to keep trades expanding with you or a lot of the same time supporting russia, which is not as big a trading partner for them. so it's going to be an interesting few months to see how they balance this coming between the 2, the between china and europe. china analysts, clifford couldn't cover. thank you so much for all of your insights. are all right . well, cache football songs are, of course, nothing new, but germany is the latest head of out. the beautiful game comes from an unlikely couple. a pair of indian taxi drivers living in hamburg have a listen to the
