the, the, you're watching the double you can use live from the lien fields of an old out of war between israel and has the law after a sick and wave of explosions in live and on the 20 people that killed in hundreds wounded as his beloved walkie talkies flow of israel hasn't commented on the blond bodies defense minister says a new phase of the war has begun. also coming up, the rain has stopped, but the sideboard is the still rising across the pots of europe in the wake of storm boris. european lead is amazing in poland to talk about the clean up costs and the east in durham instead of brandon,

but goes to the poles this weekend. we take a closer look at the file, ride alternative to germany potty and how and why it's appealing to young. people the welcome to the program. i'm john read, read his blogs, lead a house on novice while a is expected to deliver a major speech. lights it today in response to attacks targeting the militant groups, communications devices, the lightest wave of explosions claimed at least 20 lives and injured hundreds of others. now this came a day after exploding pages killed another 12 across the lebanon, and syria on choose day has blog which is considered a terrorist group by many countries blamed israel. israel has remained silent about the blocks, but its defense minister. you will have kalonde says a new phase in the war has begun the, the fannie confused of through a device explodes as

a funeral for a has full of flights installed in lebanon. it was just one of many bloss across the country. so much funerals. all this electronics stores like this one in the city of side of people here. and those kids are using any type of electronic device hope all of coughing decided, you know, i didn't expect what happened today. things are repeating all over again. now. we have some devices here that we believe to have 100 percent safe, but out of caution we remove them from the store because because we're not in the flooded last way. this room, it says subtracting that lucy, i'm about to reason solar panels. i exploding, if i had solar panels or lithium batteries at home, i would definitely disconnect the, even though these rooms are probably false, people are still afraid to lose which ones will the bus will have developed because

the latest wave of explosions came just the date of the hundreds of features used by hezbollah exploded across the lebanon and syria, killing at least 12 and injuring thousands. pest bull up puts the blame on israel. many of the militant groups members have been using pages, and similar low tech devices to void is released. the valence is real, hasn't commented on that tax directory, but it's defense minister, sense level no, actually a message for this one, the mileage on the whole. i believe that where the stock of the new face and the war for how the show and we must adapt with the homogeneity sheet. first of all, the center of gravity is moving north much. this means we're shifting resources, forces and energy in that direction being and we haven't gotten the hostages full

and we haven't forgotten now. goals in the south law, so hopefully we can see more of it on the out junior. and we're addressing both and kind of uh, this action involves all agencies. so the, the, with a clear and simple goal, you want to look to return the residence of the northern communities to the homes safely. i shall be much off on the theme. should i be the home but safe team? the region could be hot to the chief if tension between israel and has black continue to escalate. let's get more now from jerusalem and they rose and speak with dw, is tanya claim and know how much traits that by standing by welcome to you both mohammed, we'll start with you another wave of device explosions. tell us what's it like in they route today? and how would people feeling day slices getting back to normal

bit by bit tier and bait with this morning. streets are much busy compared to yesterday. most schools and businesses are back to work of cost as a general feeling of anxiety. we've been receiving a lot of questions and concerns about personal at tablets and mobile phones. many people have disconnected their solar system. a wi fi out of fear to possible cyber attacks may blow up their batteries if one is in shock in a way or another. and impacted by the skate of the events in the last 2 days here and live in on. i think this will stay when in people's mind for quite some time. and now lot of questions are being raised about how does this change the almost a year old increasing confrontation between hezbollah and this? right? yeah, let's talk a bit more about that. we, we do tanya in jerusalem. israel hasn't commented directly about these attacks, but earlier we heard from the defense minister talking about

a new phase in the war. what does your well, you'll have. good luck. mean by that statement. a vision hearing from is really official, as you know, for the past month or so on a and many weeks. uh that is what it is preparing for a why the escalation in the north, the actually have redefined the vocals just this week to bring back a residence of northern israel to the homes that haven't been able to go back there since october last a year. so this is one of the vocals, and now we hearing your gun and also saying that a basically is moving the center of gravity a way of bit from garza but to the north. and this is mainly reflected in a troop movements. uh, we understand that the 98th division that has to be mainly deployed in garza, its been moving has been moved to uh, the noise adjoining. another division that has been also unlimited call up of

reserve is uh, 4 different units that have been many drills and exercises already uh, in the past weeks. and of course it has been also a lot of speculation about these attacks. uh, what's the reason behind it? no is, well that hasn't taken responsibility for it, but it's widely believed to be behind those attacks. and those speculations go either there was an intelligence opportunity and the window was closing for that or that is of wider strategy for israel. that has also been told about widening of this war to push back his scholar from the border area there in southern given him mohammed back to you in a re 2 days of guest surprise. device explosions is a large scale retaliation from hezbollah expected, as well as the law needs to restore the deterrence. so that's exactly what we

expect. we know that the militant group chief house on the fella is addressing is supporters here in the ban on this afternoon. he has been mainly speaking in key events throughout this confrontation, that name the as a nation of senior commanders. and now we can only assume that his speech today will be in fiery. we expect him to use the throng and loud a tone, and even the massive skate of these unprecedented attack on it's a group and mine in the last 2 days as well that needs to store the motors of its own practice. and supporters was completely shocked by this major security breach does no doubt that's what happened over the last 2 days. took this confrontation to a new level as well as been repeatedly saying that it does not want allow for with is why the but it's ready for it. now we can only wait and anticipate enough for

the speech to understand whether this is still the case and it's on your given what mohammed's just said, how with israel preparing for any kind of response or retaliation from, from his belie are certainly the military is on high alert, but also we haven't seen yet the home phone guidelines. these are guidelines for citizens here in case of emergency that hasn't been uh, changed in the country yet. but of course, people here also waiting to see and there will be certainly also a lot of focus now on the speech of how send those find the later a today. now, you know, we've been in this situation here before, uh at the, in, in july and there where the a, to assess the nations of the husband are colonda in b root. and then also the us estimation of how mostly the smooth honey a a,

which is what it has also taken responsibility for. and there was always a sense that this could be that both sides are on the brain of, of more. so it still to see in what situation we are right now and whether both sides are able to step back from award this time to be used on your claim and jerusalem there. and mohammed straight to in day, right. thank you to you by i'd like to welcome to those steinberg. now he's the middle east on the list and international terrorism expert from the gym and institute for international and security affairs. welcome back to the doctor here. data. how would you describe, given your expertise, what's happened in labor and on over the past 2 days? that was what happened. the level of the is a major blow to the internal security of his ball. uh uh, but it is a blow that has not found a meant to the change, the equation between israel and she's father, who's for law. it has not a weakened,

peaceful life is we can do total communications. but there is no, not one single title unless stationed in southern southern level 9 or an eastern level. there is no uh, not one me. so i to this. so the, the outcome depends on the reaction by his by law. and on the question of whether that is a larger strategy behind what these reality and as of now, it doesn't see so, so the situation between his bottom line is, well, it has not fundamentally changed. okay. i want to sort of drill into that a little bit more more your saying has blah hasn't been weakened boss. a lot of people are wondering if a large scale retaliation, which is some people are expecting is even possible given that these attacks have wiped out hotly how the grid communicates. and there also have been assassinations recently. all of its leaders. yeah. well,

it will be more difficult for the organization to communicate, but it will be able to communicate indicating the coming weeks and months. and it's we oscar ourselves, whether there will be a large scale to reach out to us. and we have to look back at recent months and it has always been a problem for us, but a lot, especially after the keeping updates, made it easy to watch some, some weeks ago how to kind of a such a retaliation. the organization does not want to major war with israel because it would be tremendously destructive at the same time, in the past as we just what it is interested in re establishing some kind of deterrence. and that's a, that is extremely hard issues. paula intensifies its attacks on israel and in on and also on is really is ready from to the risks the major. ready that it doesn't

on, so it is a or it, it remains in a bind and it has been in this situation for months now. so you're saying has blogs in a bind, israel as defense minister has said a new phase. he and his words of the war has begun. what do you think your wives kalonde means by, by the us as well? i think that you're asking about the personal he is very much interested in a preventive war against his by law. he has the bonded major military action of since october 2023. and it might be that the, the sort of a government was strikes like the ones in the last 2 days was to prove out is by law. but the major voices in this government who do not want this war. so it will be extremely interesting in the coming days for us to watch whether. ready

israel is, is stepping up, military activity can solve the problem. and secondly, whether you ask a lot, we remain in face. we have all heard the news of the prime minister netanyahu was to get rid of him, and that might change the situation in june. and instead of the induced, rarely go in there is very to the government, i personally for the time being do not expect a major is really attacked right now, simply because it would have been, it would have been a logical to stop such an attack with the attack on the communication systems that means yesterday or the day before. just lastly, is there any influence that external actors can have now to try and perhaps calm the situation as well. there is influenza, especially by the united states,

not by the of the reviews. the united states has been pressing this by the government not to this, not to attack his by law and. ready it has insisted that there might be diplomatic. so the solution to this problem, and that is why the, the, the black button administration has been sending its envoy to the conflict almost lost time to a route to 10 of these 4 months right now. but this insurance is limited to i personally believe that the major escalation between his by law is 0 might be a lot of work might not like might not take place in the coming weeks. but it will be very hard to avoid it simply because the situation from these really point of view on the north and border is untenable. and i think these very government described in this interpretation of the situation. thank you very

much for your insights today due to that's due to steinberg, middle east, on the list, and international terrorism, expelled from the gym and institute for international and security affairs. so let's take a quick look now at some other global news headlines. did you in general assembly has strongly backed a resolution demanding and in to is arouse occupation of the palestinian territories. within 12 months it was supported by 124 of 193 members. which 43 extensions. the text is based on an advisory opinion from the international court of justice that caused israel post 1967 occupation unlawful is while rejects the non binding resolution north korea as tested to new tactical ballistic missiles. the countries and state controlled media published images of leader kim jong on the supervising the launch. it said one of them is science was designed to carry logical heads. kim, joan has recently ordered an upgrade of weapons capabilities. so i think the threat

from external forces, hawaii is callaway of all kind or has begun a rocking in a remote area of the us states volcanoes. national park scientist side of the lava fountain some up to 10 meters high, currently do not pose a threat to houses or infrastructure in 2019 a major roxanne at kayla wyatt laid 2 hundreds of hines and businesses being destroyed. you are paying commission president close enough on the line is to visit poland today to make the latest of 4 central and eastern european countries hit by severe flooding on their agenda. aid for the effect to the areas affected by stone bar is the gathering in the police city of what swath way far he's been. volunteers are working to fortify river banks and protect the buildings from the rising waters . building 20 people have died so far in flooding across the pots of central and eastern europe. a report of mazda tool is standing by for us in the northwest of

what's wives in months of each a good to see you mounted. the high water is a still to peak in and around the city. what's the situation where you are right now? i am in the district of broad swath which has been effected by the floods um for the past 2 days. it's not at the old river, it's a tribute river. and last night, um the them of may have schools was overflowing just filled with 100 percent. so the water was flowing and the military was securing the embankment as it did for the past 3 days. but this is for now the only very, very critical place and brought swap for now. um most um, over the nights um they also flooded um a ponder in obama l y has been, um is one of the biggest, biggest tribute rivers to the old river. right. before roswell and they had the

title of 7730 last night. so they decided during the nights to just release the water to take away the tension from uh, from rock swap and the old dry river. yeah, and mazda, we are just being, we are looking at live pictures right now. all of the affected area is just extraordinary. um, you and a, you, i'm sorry, and you commission president. most of the fund line is visiting of what's on the soft, the newton along with the european leaders. what are people need right now? what did they expect from brussels and the police government that people mostly expect money to get to get the restructuring done, especially for housing, smaller businesses. and of course the infrastructure which is most crucial because there has, has been villages in the mounts. some areas that have been flooded so severely that some bridges and roads were completely taken away. and these villages just need the

help because some of them just cut off from civilization and they still have no drinking water. electricity is not really working. so these are the most crucial problems and they're hoping that the government will help them as soon as possible . now this is a, this is an area that had seen quite significant flooding before because there was a flood called the older flooding. 1997 with one 3rd of as i understand it felt sort of was, was flooded. and after that slug protection with strength and how is that holding up now? actually, surprisingly well for now, during the night the wave came a little bit earlier than expected. and the wife is supposed to stay in brussel for about a day or one and a half days. so it is a rather long but strong ways and not as high, but it is still higher than predicted. the forecast cited will be around 5 something, but right now we're at $630.00 and the tide is still rising. but the,

the strengthening and modernized floods the systems are actually working. and we're still hoping that actually bush, especially try to push the retention of lake is helping a lot because it was fuels by 80 percent last night that was mounted to reporting phone. reflects 12 in poland. mazda, thanks a lot for your reporting as well. so i saw germany has been spared the worst effects of this flooding, but the water levels are rising in some areas the eastern city of dresden wants to avoid further damage to its infrastructure after a major bridge across the elbow. reed collapsed just last week. this barrier protects the old city of greystone from flooding. it's part of the white concept to protect the city from the worst case scenario. you can fold a lock as long as we are ahead of the game items. we are well prepared and that's why we are relatively relaxed about this slide. dressed on experience,

touch extreme flooding in 200220142002. the old tom was almost completely under water. many residents are reminded once again to speak to events. i'm always scared every night as soon as it drains my off. oh well, it was very dramatic again. so you always think back to how it was be some of a deal for those who lived through 220022013. i'm all went to india and they must live with a 2 for now. and uh huh. and it's always a bit threatening when the albums arises, but this time it's fairly mild. after the catastrophe in 2002, 3, great and improved itself protection system and developed to protect this area around the city. this defense system safe to city from severe money in 2013. so let's look to see what the i so this we point 5 kilometers, flat,

protect and 9 will be built in today just in case of floods in the meant to because often this is the 1st element here at this point, right. and then the other element of that will be added gradually by so water continues to rise to flop water's just a few days after the corroborates and the city collapsed. clearing the rustle before the slots came, was a race against time, would make me the movies in closing costs and joint action. we managed to both demolished the bridge and remove the dead bree within a few hours. so i'm excited so far. and so we managed to ensure that the area with safe before the flight came by. and as we see, it now can pass through this area without any problems using vice prusio. this time drink seems to have gone off like he does not have to worry about the expected smart feet staying in germany. and this sunday, viruses in the eastern side of brandenburg will go to the polls in the state election the far right antique immigration alternative to germany, also known as

a f. d is hoping for another strong showing. now it is a tight rights. the, if the looks to be just ahead of the incumbent social democrats. part of the reason for that is the parties popularity amongst young devices. so what's driving the support exactly. the doubling use political correspondence. matthew moore went to the city of abels valdez, north of building, to find out swastikas scrolled on election posters. tell you a lot about the political climate, and brenda burg, what they don't tell you if the young people are flocking to the far right. told tenants a for germany party and their drools for the 24 year old social democratic candidate . it's especially concerning as i'm sure it gets frightening. even if you're a young person yourself, you have to wrap your eyes a bit as a social democrats. make sure he's sent a letter to every 1st time volta and his constituency, inviting them to a barbecue, from dye football. come by. we can sit down and talk about the election on tax why

you can see the online campaigning, present challenges for hockey's in the center. this is the owner for art. it's also a question of brevity abbreviation. so it's relatively difficult to get through with facts if you have to break it down to a 32nd video because we deal with the best most to and try to stop. this is what he's up against the, the flood social media with the i generated video depicting a vision of white germans under threat from foreigners. it's use when produced. this can be crushed by a game called saved. gemini. players are encouraged to deport dark skinned men despite the fact that one and 3 young people here are expected to vote for the, the finding that is not so easy. others have the own idea on the far right to appeal. some will do, but i suspect it's because the, the offers simple solutions to complex issues that when business hi, lack of education, then fear of the unknown out of time the,

the time to do is enjoying the attention of some school students. you dismiss stuck positions that the party use is racist dog whistled. you know, adverts targeting young people. went to the atrocities within the country that's interpreted as racism. about young people realize that we're not racing at all, but i personally have friends with dark skin color, maryland. before i joined the dean, that means racism is a political smear. and we as the a f d, don't accept that any way whether the crowd is more interested in free merchandise than political debates is unclear. but it's impossible not to sense the momentum behind the parking. lots of what is my whole circle of friends both for the a f d they all do that and then half my family, both for the a f d a z and use equipment. i'm not sure yet decided or unwilling to say the really extent of the the support will soon become clear. and there's more

on that key election on our website, dw dot com. i'll be back at the top of the hour away from all we'll use. i'm john driebe in both in thank you for watching the

freedom russian onto the sessions coaching. and cuz i was in jail for 2 years because the days have criticized the russian institute. we measure in southern germany. what was it like in june? and why was she eventually released the focus on human on d, w. conflicts own ukraine is facing another bitter winter as well with russia. and there's many, many without the equipment needed to wait. and my guess this week is kara roodick
