the the, this is data will you use life from 1000000000 fees of old alcohol between israel and hezbollah, of the 2 days of explosions and 7 on as well as leader calls the blasts master goods and says they amount to a declaration of thousands of dead and hundreds more injured. the rain has stopped, but the flood waters are still rising across parts of europe. old hands on deck to protect lives and property in poland way european lead has a meeting to talk about the clean up costs by jerry upright since baltimore flooding with neighboring camera rooms that's released for them from one of its largest dams. wasting plants of old brady displaced hundreds of thousands of people and the eastern german state of brandon,

but goes to the poles this weekend. we focus on the 5 right alternative for germany and how the potty appeals to young about this, the i been puzzled and welcome. the leader of the militant group has well not says is well aimed to kill thousands of people in live it on as a designated communication devices. this week. $37.00 people have died off the 2 days of explosions across the country. the blasts came into waves, beginning with thousands of pages, including those used by the militants. then a day later, other devices including handheld radio step nathan, some of those targeted in the 2nd wave length victims of the 1st attack to raced to us on those file. i has just responded to the attack, saying they've violated red lines. you described them as a declaration of war by israel on the lebanese people understand that

the house ends of the painters were targeted by me is really enemy and detonated simultaneously with the methods you. with this operation, the enemy crossed all rules. lopez and red lines is how many uh, pull up the lobby. so i need one for both and how about it didn't care about anything at all? it was not morally island, not who mainly, not legally. and then so any, and i'm any the middle east affairs report, i don't use shiny resign as has been following that speech. what do you make of it as well as comments 1st? well, 1st of all, it was interesting to notice is tony was quite timid compared to himself. usually he uses a speeches to rally the people. and of course, he wasn't using this opportunity as well to not just talk to the followers and, and, oh, because of all of the, she had some of them. but whether to all of lebanese saying, you know, what we've been seeing, the last is, this is an, is really attack on all of lebanon with potential 4000 casualties. you know,

all of these, when did, could have ended up dying. and this was israel's, you know, a temporary massacre against lebanese, he's trying to, to, you know, get a wider support for his ball as actions between self and who follow as the fighters for palestinian solidarity patel with the posting unit. but also the ones defending and caring for the libby needs people in the whole because this is somewhat speaking to some criticism he's been always getting about how his body is trying to drag, living on into a war that is might not be interested in. so he use that opportunity for that. that was quite important. important message in the 2nd important message. he's saying there is really strive to bring us down to our knees. maybe because maybe stop our actions because they know they've been an exchange of fires between his room and his boss since october. you know, along these were the northern border. he said, we're not gonna stop until there's a solution to god. so we're not going to bend and are still in the directory with our fellow posting and brothers, you know, fighting and gaza and in the west bank, as long as israel is not willing to come to any end of fighting in gaza. so if you

were thinking, you know, also talking to americans and, you know, we had the american, a very, you know, talking about media deal between lebanon and his vala and israel saying, basically this is off the table. our main goal is to, it's all attach a, you know, with the palestinians, none of that is going to change. israel is not going to deter us from that. again, notice surprises the strong language being used. but what will is, well make of comments like crossing red lines declaration of war. so it seems like it's drilling in the moon, but it has supposedly done in the last days of never taking official responsibility for it was trying to push mr. outlet to see where he stands, how far is he willing to go in order to help and defend his, you know, the pals and unions, you know, having some us in their, in their goals. um, so it seems like they were, you know, both sides are kind of rolling the back that the, this hot potato back at each other. no one's you know what was wrong when i strongly basically saying israel has the code word or 11 and, and there will be

a retaliation, but not really specifying any, you know, any clear indications of what that might be. sort of still keeping things up and dear, i think again, trying to show, as he must, you know, strongly towards i get, you know, for as a keeping face with, with his supporters and with them with these people and the expectations, you know, the whole are both met the last 2 days, but then at the same time, still giving himself some time to sort of think through what would be the best way to push back against israel without bringing for a whole you know, whole break of, of escalation and, and, and the regional war chinese, thank you very much for bring your cell phone to date on the latest on that speech . then when the wake of the bloss united nations, secular, for general, antonio quoterush board of a serious risk for medic escalation and living on. he's also raised concerns about width and the icing. an object to use by civilians which is strictly prohibited on the international law. i spoke about that with jeanine, a deal co director of the oxford institute for ethics,

lauren and conflict to the us from a legal point of view. if it matters the, those who appear to have been targeted a suspected as well that operates distinction requires. but each attack and war i hear each explosion of a device, it's directed against an individual about the attack, a nose or reasonably believes to be a legitimate target of attack. so hezbollah fights us all. it is in the targets of the tax, but crucially not every member of hezbollah is only the fighting ring on members of its group. even if these attack small intended to target has full sizes. the question from a legal point of view would still arise whether the attacking party, potentially israel at the means or intelligence to verify that the pages would actually land in the hands of the intended individuals. so has full of flights of israel. take any precautions. for instance, to ensure that the pages would be in the hands of fine to smaller than civilians your next but on the, on the reality and ball. what was your 1st thoughts when you heard about these attacks? well, placing a small explosive device directly on the body of

a fine to in some sense is the ideal of an attack from the point of international law. commissioning hundreds of those, those the tech symbol tenuously at the same time, on the other hand, is almost impossible. to reconcile with international law. so we can imagine that is we will have intelligence for these pages, for the test and for finding all testable. so in that case, we may imagine that it's applied comply with distinction. well, the additional considerations here, for instance, the principle of precautions, demands that for each explosion, the anticipated civilian home would be minimized as much as possible. for instance, for the timing of a talk, this is obviously very difficult to achieve. when many attacks must go off, simple thing is the attackers must also conduct the proportionality calculation for each of these explosions. and if they don't have intelligence with the pictures would be at the time of explosion, that would be very hard to achieve. okay, just explain to me then what the difference is between

a whole lot of smaller bombs going off, killing possibly hundreds or thousands of people and one big bomb going off and killing, perhaps hundreds of feet as well. the question is whether the attacker retains control or the timing, the place, and the circumstances of the attack, and whether there is intelligence to with this information. minimize the anticipated civilian hom bite was one big among going off. you presumably have somebody who wants intelligence about the civilian surrounding the explosion. and through the timing the angle of the attack, you can minimize that expected civilian home. you can also weigh this expect its civilian home, what we sometimes call of collateral damage to the anticipated military advantage, but with hundreds of similar, small bombs going off. at the same time, the attacker wouldn't know in advance whether they would be civilians surrounding these attacks. how the timing should be, conduct when the attacks of go off in order to minimize to begin home. and that

would be very little intelligence that is required to actually conduct a meaningful proportionality calculation. well, in this case, i can tell you it's it, these bombs didn't go off and it was on. they went off in public places. yes, i mean, there's am currently in the conflict between hassle and israel also international law. a for applies, but it is absolutely correct that most of these pages, so many of these pages would have gone off in the midst of the beginning areas. and since it wasn't a possible for the attacker to anticipate the civilian harm and meaningful proportionality calculations wouldn't have been possible, which is why this operation poses very, very serious challenges on the international law. and the un has called for an independent investigation into the explosions. what could that investigation actually reveal as a last question, as many sites that are relevant for legal analysis and that may be relevant to

politically including the attributes ability of this operation to israel, i still unclear surfacing these facts in a way that is credible is certainly legally and politically relevant, i think a one potential political consequence that should come from this is that states a way can to the operational danger of an overly permissive application of international law to personal communication devices in the context of war. given how much terra, this operation must have cost the civilian population in lebanon, it will be really critical to clarify and strengthen states commitment to the existing legal obligations and to clarify how exactly they apply in this particular context. to deal with that from the also the institute for ethics lower and conflict. thanks for being on the double unions. thank you. and let's bring in my com, my boss lectures in history at the american university of bate road. first of all, what position do these attacks put knows

a lot in as well. it's actually it exposed home for what as well, the radio or which basically isn't archaic. i'm going to show that belongs to the previous century. more importantly, so to speak. she was not able to justify why someone who claims that he has an ability to take on is the ultimate, to destroy it through a and large but actual massage hasn't yet showed that he's really serious into fighting for he has. busy understanding that it's loose can continue with waterford requires intelligence and the. busy technology on many levels has below the fence to show up point technology is in gold and whatever they do, they decided to go primitive, where they set to go less technologically. this was effectively support, but more importantly, despite the fact that many people customer it has to be. and then 2nd guess to really is all these people who are in possession of these pages are officially

members of his book. according to the admission of, most of the windows in the context of the ongoing part for game and the way, despite that they might not have been holding guns at the time that the nature of the work between it and his beloved makes this attack somewhat off and i don't want to go to them straight to, but somewhere somehow, cause i called him. and an embarrassment for his blog for now is color. what would the consequences though be of this chipping away at his credibility? it was certainly this is a long term effect. meaning that many of these people, despite their so called walker support for most of the unfortunate as well, well, think twice before holding electronic device or even will be your license because we don't know the level of infiltration, that is a, has gotten into the organization more so what, what has been happening,

prove that despite the sort of the claims that says, well, it was thoughtful, i think as soon as or, and it also stops. there's no indication that this what happens because as ranges has taken on the charge of fish belong their northern border to another. and particularly the, what we saw in the last 2 days are strange also. so when we said no one could have anticipated this, but from now on, everything is possible, given the code, you can investment and the mindset of those areas where they cannot go into a kind of a full scale, missing and vision. but go into the search. you can calculate the operations or is it a survey or wanting to take? another color has framed these attacks as being a tax on all of living on old liberties. do you think the liberties are going to change their minds about what they think of this conflict with israel now or whether i can speak on behalf of myself as living a citizen?

i do feel the embassy with people. busy losing their lives and losing that i cite but in no way that should try straight toward one test it and to me adopting what's most of that and what has been. busy a physical. busy word vision for the vision of the world. the idea is that as long as muscle is part of the person and organically connected to the expansionist project of it on, he will never be able to when that have been useful over that, i mean, he's gamers, unity and reopened our hospitals. and we, we donated blood because at the end of the day, no one should suffer, human, human dignity should be preserved. but this will not be as simple transition into supporting a supporting symbol nor continuing the so called suicide that adventure and to the best. that has been so much schumann suffering of the past year. and it looks set to get worse, but how close we get into a wider regional war in your opinion,

at this point in time. it as well. there's many indication which confirm the obvious that at this particular moment in time, if one skin water is nothing in to because simply it on doesn't want to engage in this. every one wouldn't be looking at the us presidential elections. unless all that does not wish to engage in war, but because he doesn't want to 3011 or even there is a simply, you know, so this is a confrontation that he wasn't sure the and it was, i'm just trying to play up the clock opening a new democratic administration for the return of democratic administration to the white house. once i sent in to him, i kind of appeasement and be kind of then, you know, clear deed for the total of these factors did not seem to align. and on the side of those things, i don't think they have the urgency to go into a full scale war without having dropped off and then also. and the 1st thing in the indicates that it will not. and any time soon from the american university of

bailey, my. com. thank you very much for your expertise. thank you very much. i think on to other news european commission president also the final line is visiting poland to meet the latest and full central and eastern european countries have by severe funding on their agenda. aid for the areas affected by stone bars. they get bringing the publicity of hotspot with, sorry, things that volunteers of working to for, to find the banks and protect buildings from the rising waters. building 28th of dikes so far in the flooding across sponsor central and eastern europe. a report a month. and so is in an area north west of white spot, where people have been preparing for the board level to peak along the or the river . i as to what people need most and expect from brussels and the polish 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 mountain areas that has 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. nigeria is warning of the flooding of the neighboring camera rooms that it would stop releasing border from inside of stem cells and $400000.00 people have already been affected. of the heavy brains caused floods and wines by destruction. across the western and central africa authorities via the latest flooding could effect as many as 11 states the flats of less than the humanitarian crisis. and nigeria with violence as far as millions from now this is have some residents of flowed heat,

northeastern nigeria are getting from a to b. the area has been under water since heavy rains light to a dime will bursting in neighboring commer room last week. and now the threat of further flooding loons, the new river flows down stream from cameroon. tonight's area and there are several times along it on saturdays and come a room, had warned that they were releasing water from one of them the like dom off. like like though sparking fears across the border with nigeria, claiming that would leave 11 states at risk of flooding. hundreds of thousands of people have already been displaced in nigeria because of the rising waters, according to the un, including a part of the country that has already seen millions forced to flee to, to an islamist insurgency. it's an absolute tragedy for these local people who had their homes wiped out due to the flooding and were already affected by

a conflict in the region. poco rom related problems that these are farmers who would rather be on their farms now being hit by slides. so what we saw today was continued challenges for people to live away from their homes, nigeria, the most populous country, and i forget is prone to flooding. and experts, a climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent. they claim more needs to be done to prepare highlighting the need to modernize aging infrastructure and improve crisis planning, providing some hope for those who risk losing everything when the water start to rise. the w's or the central coma is in lagos. he told us more about the current conditions and nigeria as well the situation, especially when it comes to do flooding in my degree capital are brand new state that is that people have been displaced with talking about close to full 100

thousands with the more than a 1000000 totes in the affective here. now we've seen the come so i do. many of these people i've been, this comes, have been filled to capacity. they cannot take it anymore. so we have families, people, children, all putting up outside the comes in major rows, express ways of i looked at the flood, the free that i've been dried up for then. so it puts up because the tens and to make shift arrangements. and that comes half just being filled to capacity. i don't forget that is the, it makes it more than a week since them in the north and the country northeast burst on really flooded more than 15 percent of the city off. i'm a degree info, new states, uh with a live stove destroyed homes, destroyed families. i've affected in fact that we have the problems of kids, of contamination with others. we switch what is happening aspect that include the major hospitals. it'd be an effect on damage due to the flooding situation. and what about this them in camera? it's set to release for yes. now this is nothing

new in terms of the nice, you know, sort just because the, my direct continues to experience but annual flooding, especially this time of the year with a heavy rain falls. uh so every year you have to come up with no thought i'd caesar, take them then release in water, which then also fills into the night to run about announcement has been made for a gradual release of that was not. and i don't know if i would just have gone onto release for flood warnings for 11 states, not just in the north of the country like bo normally do. great, but also into cells that may be at risk of flooding. so they have to stop putting in, uh, you know, measures to lift gates, the flooding. come when to begin with, really something what's, i'm kind of doing what is nothing new when it comes to coming to releasing what's up into nigeria. but how prepared is nigeria for this and for floods in general? now that is the big question with the situation with that have a no, i bought a new including a state like to go out where we have about 15 people already displaced by floods.

many asking if the cost are because i really prepared for the levels of flooding that will happen. don't forget, we have seen high percent, you know, rain falls are ready to send and north of the country. i mean this out, the rain still continues the many of the spots on with the flooding with us. so i'm kind of going on with the water. is that right? as we experienced them, many said that they might be more prevents of uh, flooding, downstream, united as a south area, we've seen a major se calls may be able to stays up in one. but how much of an effort will be done? so i need to, i do study because the, what those will come out of the authorities are saying, but lisa took them out with the very latest from legal thank you to look now at some of the other stores making headlines around the world. the european parliament has passed a resolution recognizing opposition candidates and window gonzales, orridge c, a. s. been his way of his legitimate prices will make us cold for sanctions against the incumbent. president nicholas my door of the claim victory and the dispute with the election, prompting gonzales to flee to spain. the resolution does not reflect the stats of

old easy countries. just at least one person has been killed into injured in russian shelling of ukraine central separate ratio, region, ukrainian authority, se basha used wrong. good sense hillary and drones against civilian homes and other buildings. it comes a day off the ukraine strumpet key russian odds that pokes causing a massive fire. the u. s. coast guard has released new images of the titan submersible that imploded last year, killing 5 people. they showed the passenger compartment dumpster was crushed under the pressure of the sea. the titan was headed to the site of the titanic ship, break at the bottom of the north atlantic. and investigation continues to find a ride at immigration alternative for germany or a f. d is hoping for another strong showing as both as go to the polls on sunday in the eastern german state of brandon buck. around 2 and a half 1000000 people live in the state which surrounds the capital,

berlin. since german reunification over 30 years ago, the areas being a strong hold of the social democrats. and now they face a tied race with the i of the looking to be just ahead. of the reason for that is the bodies popularity among young about it's the w's political corresponded. matthew moore went to the city of eva's father, north of berlin, to find out what's behind that support. a swastika scroll, don't election posters tell you a lot about the political climate. and brenda berg, what they don't tell you if the young people are flocking to the far right, sol tenants, a for germany party and their drools for the 24 year old social democratic candidates. it's especially concerning. as i'm sure it gets frightening, even if you're a young person yourself, you have to rob your eyes a bit. as a social democrat, they show his sent a letter to every 1st time volta and his constituency, inviting them to a barbecue. sometime football come why we can sit down and talk about the election

on talks. why? he concedes the online campaigning, present challenges for foxes 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 the port, 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 is for me to but i suspect it's because the d offers simple solutions to complex issues when business, high lack of education and fear of the unknown. out of time the,

the 10 digit 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. i went to the atrocities wasn't there. now i'm afraid that's interpreted as racism, but young people realize that we're not racing at all, but i personally have friends with dark skin color limby, or i don't the as being, that means racism is a political smear. and we as a theme, 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 pots and things of what is my whole circle of friends, both for the a f d, they all do that. and then i have my family both for the a, f d of the z and use equipment. and i'm not sure yet decided or unwilling to say the really extent of the the support will soon become clear. that brings

you up today to roll the international use on bank visible and i'm next complex i'm this time tim. sebastian sits down with the credit and we'll make it keira. rudy french gulf will have your and use next down by the

conflicts own ukraine is facing another 5th or winter as well with russia and there's many, many without the equipment needed to wait. and my guess this week is kara roodick, are you crazy and opposition? empty and leave the goals or voice coffee as western lead evaluation over whether care should target and russia with long range missiles. she reminds them that they promise support all the way to victory conflict. more on dw, how tiny brains do really and things. insects are smarter than we thought

the researchers are investigating their true abilities and making a sounding discoveries. these little creatures are pretty clever insects in 45 minutes on d, w, the living in a society is full of contrasts and inequality 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 talk of the major issues about time? talk about the system if there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our system. our series

continues to dw, the ukraine is facing another bits a winter as well, with russia. and there's many, many we've out to the equipment needed to win. my guess this week is kara roodick, are you crazy in opposition? m. p and lead to of the goals or voice policy as western leaders. anguish over where the kids should target russia with long range missiles. she reminds them that they promise support all the way to victory. so how crucial are these weapons to ukraine survival. and just how distant victory look, kara routed, welcome to come fix on thanks for making time for us. hello jim. thank you so much for having me to month.
