immediate deal with some us to bring the remaining hostages home. the rallies of block many major roads in and around tel aviv snarling traffic for hours . there has also been several clashes with police the and this is the only way they can here is if we stop everything, that's the problem with the is riley government. they won't listen. they're not thinking about the government. on monday, the demonstrators were joined by thousands of striking workers who disrupted services at hospitals. schools as well as flights at israel's main airport. union leaders eventually called off the strike when the court said they had not given enough notice. it also called the work stoppage, politically motivated,

a middle east that'll ashanti was honest, has more on this so that in yahoo says he's sorry, but it doesn't sound like he's budgeting on anything. well, correct. i mean, did you know, seem like yesterday was him just trying to find more justifications and basically explain to these really where he stands and why he stands where he is. and in that aspect, why he's refusing to go ahead with the deal as much as the know the pressure on the street is, is going to now is very clearly not aiming to wind this down or to go to any succession of possibilities or the fire any time soon, and he's trying to explain why that's the case. and so anybody who was helping that the pressure of the public would be the one bringing it to now to shift disposition, se, today a very defiant prime minister trying to actually gain support for it. i action that is quite the opposite of what we see from the streets demand. and one of those sticking points is 14 killing me to buffers or along the injection guys and florida

the philadelphia card or which these via these one to hold onto. in order to have some sort of control over the causes, right, is this one of his and so one of these files that, well, the board, are we talking about the feel of those? the quarter? that's exactly. uh, the only way for gauze the outside, you know, the, on the border, it is not with as well, but rather with egypt that to now claims that he, we saw whole presentation last night that this is the only way to make sure this from us and not we gain power, getting more munitions, fluid, or small go through the border. but then a lot of, if you would talk to the defense minister or any of the, you know, members leading members of the defense mechanism in his early say, this is not the case as well. can always take philadelphia quarter again if needed . and also they point to the fact that we take it as real about 8 months deep into the war and gaza before we even reach that part. so they say this is such a vital part of the war. how come it wasn't one of our 1st targets, sort of trying to talk about nathaniel was attempt to use that sort of deal with the court or as an excuse not to go on with a deal rather than actually

a sticking point. that is that meaningful and this is the deep priest we're seeing between the 2 now. and you know, the more professional a no leaders of the war in the, in the end in the military. and this, the thrift is, you know, it is, is such that they cannot do anything. and that anyhow, does not want to do that. you see that the public hearing them. and this is where you see the big distress, you know, on the streets. people do not trust anything else because they hear so many other people say it does not have to be the case. and time is running out for the remaining hostages. just how desperate all those people in the streets the is rarely so when it, when it comes to getting some sort of deal finishing this boy in comparison to the desperation among palestinians lowered his eyes as some sort of an issue looking pulling number as most of it is really support a deal including everything that it will take, like giving up control. and so that's also quite, or you like releasing lots of mess smarter as you know, that had been, you know, captured by israel. i kept in israel, the prisoners many to support that, but not netanyahu's base. and this is exactly what we're saying. he's catering to

his base. he still has a very strong support in school. listen, and that's what drives his decisions right now he does as long as he doesn't have any stretch from his coalition. i doubt we will see continue our changing his tend on this and if you talk about posting isn't oh, i also talk to colleagues and friends there that the desperation and the frustration, the sadness anyway, and i mean it's, it's unless, i mean it's the i was talking to some of them in the last days they were hoping that what's happening on the streets and as well bring to change. but obviously it was hard to break the hard saying, we are not there yet. and when we seen the americans focusing more, more on the competing there, um you know, the election campaign of how you know, by, by them trying to support harris. awesome. you know, gone. so it becomes a more minor topic for the world's arena for international attention, and they feel being left behind, maybe mindful be so and, and you know, unfortunately we don't see where any of the sites, you know, we need to keep in mind. we also have hum us here and they don't seem to be too eager. i'm going for a deal as well. and the people you know,

on both sides in palestine and israel might be somewhere else. and when the leaders are, and we don't see any, you know, any solution coming in the next, you know, couple of months and weeks ahead of us. unfortunately, it doesn't sound good at all. and i find it interesting. they do say that netanyahu was pondering to his base, but, you know, is that going to secure in the future? well, it does so far. it does. he doesn't have any stretch to his to his brain. i mean, there's nothing right now that makes you know when it's and he'll feel that he needs to go to election any time before the set date in 3 years. yeah. so far his whole install. well, johnny, thank you very much for the analysis. interesting stuff. you're welcome. i. the ukraine is continuing its incursion into russia's southern cost region, even though it's still losing territory. you then southern country. russian forces are advancing an east and do crime with ukraine's president, florida. mister lansky acknowledging the difficulties his troops are facing. but he says he will not give up on seized russian power tree and cause he says it's part

of a victory plant. he will submit to western allies in a visit to washington in the full instead of the russian city of sue, just now under ukrainian control part of the territory concord. starting on august 6th, in a surprise operation that it claims took more than 1200 square kilometers in the course region. just before you crane went on the offensive president followed him, is a landscape, spoke to french media about possible peace talks. touching on the topic of territorial concessions, ukraine will never give up its territories because this would be an attack on the constitution. he said. decisions on ukrainian territorial integrity cannot be made by the president, but by the ukrainian people. the landscape peace plan backed by the west calls for russia to pull all of its troops out of your train as a precondition for any talks. it also wants trials for war crimes and reparation payments for its part,

russian demands that ukraine surrender for regents that moscow says it amex and claims as russian territory. and ukraine would have to officially renounce its desire to join nato, an impass. so could you cranes incursion be a way to change the calculus of peace? although seizing russian territory in the kirk region is an embarrassment to put in still it's less than 110th of one percent of russia's land mass. whereas russia control is about 20 percent of ukraine's territory and is still advancing in the east. in addition to the lab, it's taken, however, ukraine has also captured hundreds of young conscript soldiers. savanski refers to russian prisoners as you cranes exchange fund. and so lensky spoke specifically of the november p summit and ukraine's plans to prove yeah, that's what occurs confirmation connected to the 2nd summit. yes, because it was one of the points of the plan victory of ukraine delano, but a more oh, great. meanwhile, the kremlin has been playing down the incursion,

saying it has failed to stop the rushes drive to break through an eastern ukraine. you people, especially in the curse region, are going through difficult times. but the main task that the enemies set for themselves to stop are offensive and the don't basketball didn't achieve it ultimately with nationalist opening. and then by say, we didn't start yet. therefore i'm sure that this provocation will fail as needed. firstly, i think after that there will be a desire really to move to piece talk slower, not in words, but an actions and resolve these issues by peaceful means and the age of a person. you have any mysterious thing. it's not clear if keeps gamble to take russian territory will pay off in peace talks this fall or provoked putting to take even more severe measures as he tries to win the war. house out. keith corresponded nick connelly, a few grains incursion into russia, could lead to peace talks of the look. i don't think that suddenly of lighting,

which is gonna wake up and decide that this war is not worth fighting because ukraine is now on russian soil. some people in ukraine maybe had hope that the shock of seeing ukrainian boots on russian territory would change people's perceptions in russia. but that hasn't happened. but this is certainly about building up kind of trump calls having things to exchange when and if things come to be stokes. right? so this is about saying, we have this amount of russian character to be controlled, that we have an x that we don't want to keep, but we can trade for bits of russian occupied ukraine. it's also about taking prisoners. we heard that in the report. unlike lots of other parts of front lines you've had, lots of russian conscripts fighting incurs people who have $181920.00, who aren't being paid big salaries to be well, who have promised that they wouldn't be an active funding. so ukraine is already swapping these people for ukrainians that have been in russian captivity in some cases for up to 2 years. and so, so about embarrassing vitamin preaching domestically and hoping that, you know, like the teaching sees this conflicts slightly different in realize it might be

pressure from russian society to get out of this war. and i think the, the big thing about will this, is that, so for the credit is, so i just commit. so this is quite a kind of low investment move, right? they have, according to this was at least not last that much and way of technology and what in terms of lives lost. so they've achieved, they think, think quite a lot at a low price of now the seems like something with doing that is going to bring a kind of a boat, the boon. down down the line, the nick back in ukraine reports are coming in, a russian troops making significant gains in the dumbass region. why is your credit on the not focusing its efforts that because the situation in domestic is a lot harder that you have very well established russian positions. you have basically the kind of main focus versus f. it's then most trained and experienced troops so frankly, with the same results that you can achieve

a lot more in cost region 10 in the don't pass that is that the kind of calculation from the ukranian side up, but certainly it is something that is being discussed in ukraine right now, there's been a lot of worries at the city of across, which is one of the main logistical hubs in ukraine control. don't pass that. that could be under threat from russian troops. and next couple weeks we've had civilians being evacuated. there is some tools that ukraine, you know, me is now bringing more forces that to try stabilize the situation. and as soon as the fighting, which is kind of built up areas will play to ukraine, strength is easy to defend. a built up areas, cities that it is to defend positions out in the countryside where you don't have much in the way of cover where rushes advantage in app. however you kind of comes into play. but i think the end of the big kind of a scene from this you can create inside is that you're sending more troops into don't pass for now. i'm hoping that that would have a different impact. you've just not something that i think is gonna work. so they are going to comb with cause can hope that, you know, eventually the russians are forced to move troops at the very latest day from the

don't use nick connelly. thank you. as, let's take you through some of the other stories making news today and go the a has welcomed russian president vladimir putin at the start of his 2 day visit despite an arrest warrant by the international criminal court. under international law, mongolia is required to arrest the russian president to face charges or for crimes and ukraine. the court doesn't have a mechanism to enforce its works. the united kingdom is suspending some of its weapon sales to as well. find secretary david lam, he said it was due to concerns that they could be used in violation of international law or in gaza as well as defense ministers said he was deeply. this happened by the decision. a brazilian supreme court panel has unanimously upheld that decision by one of its justices to block social media platform x nationwide. it was suspended in brazil last week of the 8 on mosque refused to blanca accounts,

so they just, they spreading this information. mosque has denounced the ruling as censorship funds and land slides triggered by a tropical storm. yankee has killed more than a 1000 people in the philippines. as a precaution, schools and government offices were closed in the capital manila. and if i regions more heavy rains of full cost, the philippines gets an average of $20.00 tropical storms and type booms annually. in india, emergency services say at least 25 people were killed of the heavy seasonal rains, close floods in the country. se, since june india has experienced 7 percent more rain, the normal. it comes out the floods in west and india, they've killed thousands of people just last week. one of the biggest cities and the problems of andro pradesh was inundated constant rain full heavy of the late summer, as usual monsoon down paused, swamped roads, homes and businesses in future. while the of the residents who could waited 3

waist high will to, to reach safety. but some areas will complete because all my parents are stranded. they've been stuck at home because the slots for the last 2 days, there's no food or war. so the rescue teams and the police come reach them and nobody can help them. rescue was from india's national disaster response fund, fareed, people from flooded neighborhoods to dry land but many residents are disappointed with the response already on the board. i believe you guys flooded and everybody's cut off. i mean, there is no electricity, no drinking water, mid quarter, under basic groceries available. there is no one to help us and the people that are stuck with very few boats to rescue them. what come up with a breakdown of water and power supplies? india's air force, flu mold. and so 2 tons of emergency aid into under per dash. and the neighboring

states of telling gonna west flood waters forced almost full 1000 people to shelter and emergency camps. but francis has begun his tour of the asia pacific stuffing in indonesia where he plans to hold inter faith meetings to promote harmony between catholics and one of the world's largest muslim populations. the 87 year old pope planted in chicago, where he was greeted by children and members of the judge catholics make up on the 3 percent of the population of indonesia. during his visit, the pope will visit a mosque and hold the mass at the stadium. the later visit when you're getting table lest and single dw correspondent gail mattresses in jakarta, i asked him why the pope was starting his age a trip in one of the largest muslim nations in the world. the interface harmony is really the key word for this visit of the pope, the sod visit of

a pope. historically a to indonesia and indonesia, as a good pick for that's topic. not only because you have the largest or one of the largest muslim populations here recently overtaken by pakistan, but also into a religious dialogue in this country that has so many religions. represented is very important to have the biggest, most of south east asia, the east to go lots that the popo visits on thursday here in chicago. right. opposite is a catholic cathedral and they are connected quite symbolically a by a tunnel. it is there whether pope with a hold of inter religious dialogue as all quite an important topic. and then of course you have to fact that 10 percent of indonesia as population is christian, 3 percent. if it's catholic and if you look at a population of 270000000 people, that is a substantial number. and it is interesting. we compare to europe's numbers that are going down. it is a number that is still growing in terms of believers. mm hm. and why is the pipe

know during the day for religious dialogue, but also issues like climate change? absolutely, i think climate change will be another really key issue here, particularly tomorrow when he reads, presidential covey was already said that they will talk about this topic a by the way. the pope arrived here in a pretty standard hybrid car, open window, raising a people. and so a very low key, if you one of the approach here to indonesia, a capital that is threatened by climate change. so it will be an important topic. but as you have pointed out, this is only the beginning of a 12 day trip. it will be followed now by pop when you do need. and then to the predominantly christian, the island vision of a team or less the. and finally, a to the training top office, singapore dw, corresponding gail methods sped as violent authorities of issued an arrest warrant for opposition. presidential candidate and moto gonzales. he's accused of various crimes of the he questioned the outcome of july's presidential election. the

electoral authority declared nicholas my doodle, the winner of a 3rd term, but it has refused to publish a detailed breakdown of the results. the opposition says tally sheets from electronic voting machines. folk gonzales, one by a white budget. several latin american countries, along with the european union and the us have rejected by 2 rows claims of victory . now us so far he's of sees an airplane belonging to but doodle enough to welcome you. this said pro once use for the state visits of men as well in president nicholas my doodle leaders. now it's in the custody of the united states. what part of deed see the confiscated, the left to the jet or violations of us sanctions? so today, success is just another example of how we continue to look at the corrupt practices of the major over gene. then as well as government has condemned washington's move,

calling it by it is e of the you. as a talk, these claim the does all the $900.00 x was bought illegally for $13000000.00 us dollars. and this was also the country according to the us justice department, the plane was seized in the dominican republic that it was part to be undergoing maintenance. when as soon as she to the top dominican diploma insisted that his country's of parties did only what gods ordered them to do with it. i don't want to . i don't have a need to go. you need is a dominican government, nor the public prosecutor's office. participated in the us investigation process in july model, claim victory in venezuela disputed presidential election. but the us accuses him of them putting that $30.00 and recognizing, sends opening at window gonzalez as the vin of the seizure of my duty was

plain, is just the latest evidence in the relationship between venezuela left us government and the united states. germany's main stream political leaders are considering their options of to the found right alternative for germany party took 1st place in a state election on sunday the, the one the votes in the eastern state of 3. and yet, despite being classified there, as extreme is by jo middle thirties, the body, one almost a 3rd of the votes in the state and came across secondary, neighboring saxony. but its chances of governing a pi, a slim as all other parties have refused to work in coalition with it. right. if the may have emerged as the biggest when that into region of electrons but will likely end up in opposition. all main screen policies have pledge to uphold a firewall against entering a coalition with the n d migration potty and both syringe and sex any. but although

it's the majority didn't cost a boat for the a if the and don't to see its govern. some state it has a mandate to form the coalition, columbus and certain methods. you just have to come together in the interest of democracy. now. yeah, they will crotty know by that and tired of a lot. and the cheryl's thoughts is simply looking to be a model don't feel so organ, but at some point do you have to ensure that people see that choices being reflected while in for vill clifton? think up on saturday, i think they should be given a chance to work together with everyone. when only then can you say whether they're up to it or not, but denying them that chance by claiming to be too good. you actually end up elevating them and you shouldn't do that too much. but there is concern about the rise of the file, right. why does t as the fact that the f d has done so well, especially in rural areas, is concerning focus of agent. yeah, as long as this,

i think it's basically right not to work with them, but it's hard to see a government being formed at all then you can come to us. it's like it's terrible. absolutely terrible message because i don't know what will become of germany. and while the a, if the say they have a right to govern in state level coalitions, the parties are running the national government on the pressure. they badly manage to scrape 10 percent of the vote combined with just to you to go before federal elections. these results are likely to increase the tensions filled by off shots is already divided coalition. at a quick reminder about top story this out, that is why the payment is the benjamin netanyahu has defended himself against accusations. he's blocking a hostage deal with thomas. it comes as a protest is in as well took to the straits for a 2nd consecutive night. the prime minister in 5th, the 6 executed hostages found last week with no appeal because his terms had
