conservatives inventing orthopedic mat. choosing him to challenge to the hold off shelves in next year in the i'm feel welcome to the program. lebanon's. health minister says more than 2800 people have been injured. after pages used by the has bought phillotson to group exploded sivilton usually across the country. at least 9 people have been killed. as by law says, it's the, the house on natural law was not home is missus group has blamed israel for the glass and said the attack will not go unpunished. israel hasn't commented the raining media say it runs, i'm fast. so just to elaborate on has been injured. now i've been speaking with background bravo, who lectures in history at the american university of bay route. you told me about

the atmosphere and 11 on after these explosions. slow. certainly people are realizing what just happened. all of a sudden it was like a scene auto say hollywood movie, people who are part and parcel of his beloved community as well as really in the organization who are getting outdated picture to college. she had their devices exploded in a new, very weird way. i don't think that people expected that this would happen nationwide all the way even into adjacent syria. i think what the israelis were able to do is to follow and use this as a kind of for minute video or security strike. but the brother model of the psychological warfare which will remind everyone or part time for some of his beloved that they can lose the limits for they can have the kind of permanent score, even though many people die. and this is very tragic. many of the people who are

still alive are very gravely wounded, and many of them has most of them. all of this is part and parcel milford reminded . what is really what is happening is not the kind of a war game but tries to be partners and really. okay. so know israel has made no comment on this, but what we're presuming that this is israel behind this. well, certainly as well on the box given when everyone knew that they were responsible for some of the attacks, they never officially take responsibility. but we are more than sure that such a kind of a high tech security and municipal physician could only come from history and in the past. have a tax has below, which has driven this organization to use. that's called low tech, a instruments including defensive and as you know, no one venue of the younger generation. don't really know what the picture is. so many of the new is the reporting was just gonna start,

explain to us why it has the law is using pages anyway. as because technically page, it is a kind of a closed circuit which is operated not by an operator, but my and your cellphone works, but other devices below. so i think that they have purchased a large amount of features because recently the land network and even the mobile home for it does have been hacked by israel, which has driven them to go any kind of for more low tech fashion. and by doing so, they have been exposed to the new type of danger. and what happened today is the products and this was, was, was very public, wasn't just people just walking down the street and, and, and suddenly that was saying explosions. yes for we have video footage to show people who are at the grocery store, picking up phones or just people who are driving under most sites, all of a sudden by a kind of a strange sequence. the picture is exploded under based as you are aware,

these are instruments which are carried on your body. hm. so many of the injuries also happen because at the same time, there was a kind of a message that was sent out. so everyone punched their device and took them up to their eyes. so many of the injuries are to the faces and to their limbs. in addition to the fact that many people, children of these fighters were playing around with these pages. unfortunately, it's the most of her life. okay, thank you for driving us through that to a maximum about with a yeah, i the university of bamboo. thank you. or at least 21. people are now known to have died in flooding across central and eastern europe. a major low pressure system over northern italy ascend rec, what amounts of rain across austria, the czech republic, poland hungary, on romania visa, rain, full forecast for the next few days of the heaviest precipitation marked in the blue with river level. still rising evacuations continued. the

cloth rooms at the school in romania should be filled with children at this time of day. instead, the teacher has a busy cleaning up the damage from days to flooding. the night, that's the time we had slots the. what are the, the end or to school? you mean now we have no more laptops to work since you are not interested in my house is also flooded for the 1st time. thinking on that though, i know how the children and their parents feel up because these books and toys attended by kindergarten when you just a week ago and to now destroyed the county of de la t in east and romania was one of the air is worst affected by the floods, the inundated central and eastern europe and as the residents here come to terms with the extent of the damage, all the parts of europe is still bracing to be arrival of flood waters. here in

south west poland, local residents to binding together to help police and beyond me, build floods. bar is along the older river and it's tribute trees. think the supports we are trying to make it stable. there are leaks in some places, but we are trying to patch them up as soon as possible with sun box, which people have be making here seems this morning. they rushed me a step for them, the other. i hope that we can keep them by minutes as they are out with some of our like excel, race against time. the neighbouring parts of poland have already been completely submerged. so is your soul folder and not preparing for the worst because of river levels, expect you to pick a later this week? correspondence mazda toll has about moves from the southwest and published town of a while. the situation in poland for now is seems to be stable,

were now in the city of o y, which is 30 kilometers close to broadsoft. the metropolis of slower. so easy a and they're the biggest floods has been happening. also, the water came down from the czech republic. in here, we're facing the biggest wave tomorrow by tomorrow. and right now the river of lava in the back, is already at the tide of 7 meters, and it will get critical tomorrow. so since yesterday the volunteers are helping with bringing send back to uh to the river and also smaller communities that don't have any help. they have already close down some dams. and in the night, some areas, smaller villages have been flooded, a mazda to and sizes the west poles and lot political correspondent, that literally fun homicide boat is up to date with the flooding situation here in

jimmy situation in germany seems to calm down for now i mean, it's not as bad as and you know, the neighboring countries um, that we saw on the report there. and uh, there were 3 rivers here in germany to that run through the eastern and south eastern drew regions of germany that have also seen very elevated water levels over the last couple of days. and you know, especially the as a river experience sort of exceeded the 6 major mark, which also triggered the 2nd highest alarm level. but they, they've been rising much lower than anticipated. and so the authorities half of the situation under control for now the, as a river is expected to rise a bit more, you know, throughout the night. but again, out of slower pace as an in the neighboring and the neighboring countries, and then an anticipated. and now sex and these environment minister has said that the fact that sex me has come through this flooding relatively unscathed, also has to do with the resources and the preparation that have gone into fraud

prevention measures over the last couple of years. give us, let's talk about those measures of 2021 was a particularly deadly year 135 people. what, what killed when flood was swept through the valley in the west of germany. and what did the country learn from that? i mean, for as the dream i learned that you know, more frequent floods are part of a new normal. as you know, the effects of climate change are being felt here in central europe to and i mean, this country has seen several major flooding events already. just this year and as always september, and now the interior minister and 90 phaser who is responsible for the disaster response and has said that the country has drawn a lot of lessons from the ave catastrophe. let's remember what went wrong that and you know, a lot of things went wrong, but just the main points that early warning systems failed. and that was due to sort of a communication failure not only of technical communication failure, but also failure of communication between the municipal,

regional and federal level and a lot of infrastructure and wasn't prepared at all for those type of flooding events. now, you know, physically has said that your muse done, you know, loves things in all these areas, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. just to name 2 major points. one, you know, a lot of houses in the ave itself are being built were rebuilds in the exact same spots where they were before leaving the river know, retention areas that us. you know, it's something very so if necessary, foundational for any type of flood prevention. and secondly, we've seen that a lot of states have seen major flooding. events have invested a lot of resources. you know, the and sort of civil protection is up to the federal level and, and other states have them. so the implementation varies when you look from federal state to federal state here in germany. ok, thanks for that. the w correspond to the funds comes as well,

the funds and also the australia and the capital. but this is coping well. so here's a look at vienna's massive flood defense system built in the 19 seventy's and eighty's . austria is capital vienna wouldn't exist without the danube river. but over the centuries the city has experienced a series of devastating floods. including in 1954 that inspired a mass of g o engineering project, the creation of an artificial arm of the river. the so called new danube running parallel, still a body of water controlled by dams, that in times of trouble saves the day. the danube river is nearly 3000 kilometers long and flows through 10 european countries. when it gets to vienna. during normal times, it continues to flow along its ancient root, but if the water level rises to high floodgates northwest of the city opened up the

new danube, which can absorb the huge volumes of extra water south east of the city. the new danube joins the river and the city stays above the water. the project was controversial and took 16 years to pull off. but the city got a bonus. the danube island made of the earth if it was excavated for the new river channel shape grades here along side city dwellers out for relaxation. this, however, the city has not been completely immune to the most recent floods. a small stream has flooded in recent days. putting parts of the city under water, but nothing like what would happen if the daniel overran its banks. the new danube a win win situation for the city. one solution to buy time as climate change raises flood risk worldwide. lynn, despite is a hydro meet urologist who specializes in developing early warning systems,

particularly for flooding. she explained, however on this flood defense system works. yes sir. yeah, it's, so it's kind of built on a massive slip planning. it should be a big muslim system. so when we're talking about the fed defense system in vienna, we actually mean the reason the city didn't exist that a torrent is because of civil engineering throughout history that has been able to city to grow up. uh, so we have some of the defenses on the river down you've itself, which include a must have that relief channel and they've done you've island, which they've performed really well. it's not being bid for the, from the, during the but we have seen cutting from some of the smaller streams running through the city. i'm not to, i think we started to have this conversation about how well the for the defense system is worked in the space. we'll take a look at this of all stores making headlines. now. thousands of demonstrations of answer the call for nationwide protests from don. this main and position policy, the national democratic congress is calling for an audit of the vote to register ahead of the presidential elections. it accuses governors electoral commission of

timeframe with the register in favor of the ruling new patio party. at least 6 people been killed in a landslide on the outskirts of mexico city. 3 others were injured. the landslide was triggered by torrential rains, which had been bashing the arrow since the beginning of the rainy season in july of the 12 little students as steps 6 classmates of the school loves on the porch of these capital. lisbon attack has been detained after entering 5 girls and the boy between the ages 11th and 141 of the victims has been taken to hospital and a serious condition is george's parliament has approved the draft lo, severely restricting l. g, b t q writes, the little bands below includes bands on the same sex marriage adoption by same sex couples and depictions of l. g b t q relations in public. and then the media opposition. lawmakers, boy content develops the new bands. there are similar levels in neighboring russia

wrapper and produce a showing. the cruise has been charged with racketeering and sex traffic on your quote. as low as say, the rap a formerly known as savvy will plead not guilty to all charges. in march investigates as rated tubes mansions in los angeles and miami. and you're paying commission president as of on the line has revealed, had nominated for the commissioners who will lead the block over the next 5 years. the you will have a defense commission for the 1st time reflecting the new challenges facing the block nominations must be ratified by european parliament lawmakers before that convent she seems almost relieved. finally, on bailey and con, you team of 2 weeks of political horse trading and suspected backroom deals. what was the last on the line, acknowledge in stress poor could that it was difficult to please everyone, but she also made clear. this is

a team she consider as well equipped to help the u. a. p. in the union navigate through to motor was times the key message is that wherever we come from is what ever our job title we must all work together. the only guiding star is the european interest. the new commission reflects the new challenges the block is facing with security and defense. top of the agenda, especially it's more than the queen continues. the u wants to strengthen its defense industry, all base and invest more in arms production. and he is the man who is expected to address those issues formerly. so in your in prime minister under use could be a use who's been designated as the 1st ever you commission that for defense, it's up so typically as a single markets in, in defense industries very much for recommended. and of course the innovation. so

new technology, sol, so uh what it much you need it to be brought back to our military. and this the green transition of you industry is another priority for the incoming commission as well as the question of how to strengthen the blocks competitiveness in global markets. what is the phone? the line has tended powerful portfolios to friend spain in a totally, but d totally unknown. mean me, in particular, is the one facing the most resistance from the european parliament. raphael se though is the 1st fluoride candidates to be nominated as a member of the use executives, buddy. he's said to be in charge of some forms regional development and cohesion, italian government. they are not known for being very much in line with the policies of the european union when it comes to spending, for example. and cohesion is one 3rd of the budget. the of course commission,

instead of declaring uh, not at least the tell them administer, but also several of this in the end. it's the members of the european parliament who have the final say they needs to approve fund alliance team and upcoming conformation hearings. only then, the commission that european union's most powerful body will be able to take office report from our at brussels bureau chief, alexandra from nomine. who told me more about, i see the phone lines proposed defense commissioner undress committees. well, i think what really, mentors is that he's home country lease way and yet has been from the start of restaurants, invasion of ukraine. one of the staunchest supporters of ukraine, arguing the the, and convincing the other members of the european union to support ukraine to deliver more weapons. i'm a nation. everything that you crane may need. and also really to ania

was the country who has been warning the others at that in a couple of years. as some experts say, the kremlin may decide to attack may to territory. but i think what is more important in this case here is that he is a very experienced politicians. he was between his prime minister twice. he's very well connected here in the european parliament. and he also knows that in the defense area and defense policy, the u. a p n union has so far plates and mine or role, so he knows that he will needs to manage expectations. there were a bigger nations to be a countries, poland, and friends. they were also interested in this portfolio, but they dropped away when they learned that this is not the core jump that is also about managing expectations. and so does this look like e was building up a parallel structure to nature as well?

he told me no, we had a chance to catch up with mister values and he said, a need to is responsible for defense plans for the european union. it's more about boosting the industrial base for defense for taking care of regulations. and indeed, in nato and many members, more than 20 members of the european union are also members of nato need to. it's a book about defense plants, but it's off to rush us invasion of ukraine. they also focus on joined procurement on boosting the industrial base. so as experts say that could be a danger of parallel structures. however, the big question is, of course, what is the future in europe when it comes to it's a security oh, who will be the next president in the white house, carmella harris, or don't know, trump, they both have different positions on nato and america's role a for the european secuity, so that for the europeans, for many of them,

it is clear that they will needs to take on a bigger role when it comes to their own defense, regardless of who will be the next president in the white house. and what's happened to this, this green deal with us, you the funds a lot. it was so was pushing so hard when she was 1st into this job, it seems to have dropped down her list of priorities a well, i think this is a right of what do you indicate to, which is about fund alliance, said here today that the green deal is still demetria, spectra of everything that her commission will be doing, but t o, she also stressed that is because of russia for a new crane. it's also now about defense and security and also of course, and now the priority for her commission is the competitiveness of because the u. s . lagging behind it's rivals competitors, the us and china. so it seems like define the deal is not so much on top of the

agenda. okay, cool. thank you. alex, 100 dw specimens. bureau chief, alexandra from them. do you have an opposition to reading that looks almost certain to the company john. so i can do that for his christian democratic party and federal elections next year. it leads to a sense arrived cpu and today had a press conference invalid and he received the endorsement of his closest arrival. how the opinion polls for the conservative block ahead of the ruling 3, hockey coalition is the mass is calling for a tough a line on immigration as a key issue for hotels. the current ruling coalition that by the chancellor or shelters fighting for its political survival, i mean in fighting and the loss of voting support would get to begin with. here is fading, met speaking at today's press conference to get to the phones. we're now looking ahead and, and the federal election is in just over a year and so on september 28 of 2025. i you from elf. com. we know that we have

a number of tasks. click another thing, but we are also looking at the current situation cuz me to park, we have already achieved something. well, an opposition with wholesale up was its own house. it's also a vice drones easy look at migration policy. can we go to launch party take on without us loans and our clear position on these issues at the tone. and these are some of the federal government's decisions. so i probably would not have been made who saw it to in these are form michigan. even if you haven't, we have persuaded the federal government to make one or 2 decisions to do better. now. who does it is still not good enough and is this, which is why we're sticking to our clear position or clock and poses that it is necessary to turn people back at the borders of the site, at least for a time. good enough, we will continue to work this out with the federal government as we you'll invite are also talking about so we'll finish mass become chance to the next yet. here's a political correspondent has brunt of the way things look at the bottom. and that seems very likely, yes, as you said, the polls show that the cd used by far the strongest quality at the moment other on

30 percent. the next strongest body is the far right alternative for germany. and any off to that is or not shows the tron. so this policy, the social democrats in the polls as around 15 percent. so the way things stand at the moment, the conservative look almost certain to win bonds. it's almost a year. it's more than a year until the elections take place. that's a very long time in politics, as good as mass has just basically eliminated his partic, internal arrival from bavaria about in the past election 3 years ago. the bavarian party um the lots to week and it's kind of dental the conservative candidate at the time. there's hope that that will be avoid at this time wrong, but there's no certainty of that. so that could even be project internal criticism or problems still coming up and then with his mouse and his personality is also somebody who's not exactly the most popular politician in germany. he comes all from across as a, as a bit arrow gun. and he's impulse, so if he can be quite scathing and his comments, so there's a long way to go,

a long hill to climb or a mountain to climb. as brands that china is mocking the middle with him festival, when families got up and indulged in traits and he's not just humans. take a look at a wild life park and south west of china. and i also have come from high and low to feast on moon cakes and other specialities, a tailored to that dietary needs. those who were feeding packaged gloves set together for the occasion. no picky eaters inside . it is reminded that top story of this i'm evidence health minister says more than 2800 people have been injured after the pages used by the hezbollah. administrative group exploded similar ideas across the country as part of finances and medics that are among the woodward. at least especially when people have been killed in the field flooding across the central viewer of flooding

west and is the west. some agents have seen from over 10 to 20 years, tens of thousands of been forced to flee the wrong signal was situation. many errors remains critical because just a moment i'll be back with the day it today. i take a closer look about not save the flooding in central view, but also a message back on the russian state. media outlets using platforms like facebook back to the

even some of the bill cycles for the rights of harvest. work as an, as an activist. he's committed to fed working conditions in agriculture, a risky undertaking, as the mafia controls in many fields, it is on vision this to free to walk us from the mafia stranglehold. yvonne sonya snow stopped in 45 minutes on d w. the

. she's got issues with a lot say, well crazy. the living independently rise to society is full of contrasts and any policy is a big challenge. many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend isn't misleading. what is home? how do we tackle the major issues about time to because there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems and changes the

new frontier. so from our series continues on d. w, the, it's essential on eastern europe struggling with the effects of another record breaking storm described as unprecedented. and as a once in 100 years event sold, virus has claimed lives cause massive economic disruption. and scientists are telling us to expect more of these extreme weather conditions and to prepare. so is your ready or even guessing ready? i'm feel guideline valid and this is the day the .
