fears of a broader regional conflict are also shared by germany dw, as chief political editor of me try. le cook not caught up with german defense minister for us to story is during air force maneuvers in the pacific. do you asked him for his thoughts? currently there's a huge concern that there could be a lot of people in the middle east to offset the how much veto was killed in a wrong. is that on the yeah, but also a leading member has pulled off your american counterparts. north. austin says that the war can be prevented is what is your assessment of? well, of course, what awesome does ride can be prevented, but it has to be need to be that needs to be prevented because nobody calisha can. you can even imagine a further escalation of the region. we don't need that, we don't want that and we have to do to try everything add to making, floating, so available, available to all actors in the region,

not to escalate and pay attention to the escalation and to do everything for getting peace back in that region. as soon as possible. what does this mean for german weapons deliveries with his commitment towards israel, but most of them in nice participation in of when you feel the need you need feel is love to touch it at the moment we, we continue. we proceed with our engagement over there. of course we uh we assume the situation every, every day, every hour. busy but we, so we stay there, we want to make a little decisions over there. a german defense minister at boris. the story is there hundreds of palestinians march through the westbank cities in the wake of is mile and he is killing their anger was reflected in rallies across the region, while israel's allies urged all sides against escalating conflict in the region. open support for hallmark leadership is van into milan,

but now people are angry about the death of its political leader. he took the, rejects the assassination of each man. how do you describe convey weeks which was in the discuss, anything his lead is according to these things are expected and this is the people who, what is uh, what has it on last night the feeling they'll funny a has been condemned across the board and beyond for 3 days in lebanon, human focused on intent on heat on leadership has about 2 events, neos dead, israel should get a crushing response if it is neither a piece making no negotiate to consider as it sounds superior to everyone

and considered as only its own interest only by the way, it's heartbreaking for us and it was about guess it was mounted on to our room on our soil. it's very sad. the strike has brought into a national cause for restraint to avoid further escalation. you didn't, so i don't yet any decision taken now to, to ease the situation or inflame it further a vessel again. cool in responsible parties, especially on iran to use maximum restraint and to de escalate in the interests of the people in the region. and they mention in the us is right, believes it has inflicted crushing blows to eat on proxies, tomas and his beloved and sees it will respond forcefully to any a tech to

another big story today, the man accused of being the mastermind of, of september, 11th, terroristic, attacks has agreed to a guilty plea to avoid a pass, a possible death sentence. khalid shaikh mohammed who was being held at the us military prison at guantanamo bay has been in custody since 2003. the us accused him of being the main planner of the 911 attacks which killed nearly 3000 people. muhammad and 2 of his accomplices have agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges in exchange for live sentences. terry strada is chair of $911.00 families united, a group of more than $3000.00 family members, survivors and 1st responders. her husband, tom, worked in the world trade center and was killed in the attack. i asked her how members of her group are reacting to news of the plea deal. there's mixed emotions on this play deal. they are older family members that believe that this

will give them some type of relief, some type of closure. but the vast majority of the family members i've been speaking to are very angry and we feel like just just was denied today in cuba. in what sense do you feel that justice was denied? he will have to admit guilt after 23 years. is that not correct? yes, but he will not stand trial and he will not face a punishment by death, which is what was on the table. so this was something that pay us them and the others wanted. so it's a victory for them. and i don't feel like we should ever give them in victory. this is a sign of a very weak leadership in our country to strike such a deal. that of like i just said, a vast majority of family members do not support, do not want. and we do not want him to have this victory. why is the prospect was the prospect of a trial so important for you and other family members?

is it about that kind of direct facing, of, or hearing him in courts? seeing him in quarter, everyone going through the evidence. is it something of that nature kind of airing of what actually happened? yes, it's all of that. it is a true file and that the accused stands on trial like you should or all of them should. and that's what we have come to expect from this military tribunal, that we would have a trial at some point and that they would have to face the charges and that they would sit there. and while the is well the trial happens and the evidence is displayed and questions can cross examinations, could happen all of that. and that's just all been taken away from us now because they've got to plead guilty, they're going to get to stay in guantanamo bay, a. they're going to invade the death penalty. and i mean they, they government sent us the letters, so we could ask them questions. i don't want to submit any questions to any of

these men. they are g called us. they are looking for media attention. they will send out some type of message to their brother's in their answers, and i don't believe we should give them and i'm out of attention and let them speak out at all. we know that the government had evidentiary problems, that some statements key evidence from these defendants were extracted by torture. in light of that is a life sentence, not actually a very good outcome when the statements could've endangered the entire case. a life sentence and maximum prison. what has been a better outcome then? a max sentence at guantanamo bay. guantanamo bay is like a country club for them. they get to exercise, they get to go outside, they get to pick their diet and they get to reading books. i think they can watch movies, you know, they're, they're living not in

a very difficult circumstances. and so, yeah, i wanted to see them either in a max prison or face the consequences of what you did. you murder, nearly 3000 americans on american soil. and you boasted about it and you also said if you had the opportunity to do it again, that you would, these men do not deserve any mercy. so yeah, that doesn't sound it was the right punishment. and like i said, it's been taken away from us. terry, we're running out of time, but i want to ask you it's taken 23 years for colleen chick mohammed the legend mastermind at the $911.00 attack to face. just as i noticed is not the preferred outcome. but what has that delay meant for family members? oh it's been so difficult for family members because we've lost so many family members, but we tried a lot of family members pass away. so you've got widows now and husband says, well, you know, died and they never see any doses for their children. and you've got rid of where it has lost their wives and they've never saw any injustice for their children.

it's been terrible, you know, very difficult tortures type of situation to be in all these years. you know, wanting justice for the murder of your loved ones. and i please do, you know, at the last minute i'll pay for political reasons. i mean, i don't understand, but the, by the administration is doing, you know, why they're doing this now, but it's not what the vast majority of us wanted. so it's just very disappointing. terry strada chair of $911.00 families united her husband tom was killed in the tax . thank you very much for joining us to and here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you around and how mazda are choosing is real of assassinating. who? mazda is top political leader is miles near an air strike into one hardline protesters to the st. spelling revenge, and denouncing is real and less with growing peers with wider regional conflict is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country was prepared for all scenarios and warned of severe consequences for anyone tries to attack israel's
