beloved leader made this address monday only and over 2 days. such good or more minutes on tuesday. and in one minutes on wednesday, the history the enemy was aiming to kill the no less than 5000 people in 2 minutes without caring about any limits on the that the thing. and they have no problem with where they are killed. what are they doing? how they were killed, bobby well, mind them as the way to get that. okay. to get them, dozens of people have been killed and thousands injured up to hundreds of pages and walkie talkies used by his blood exploded. his beloved blames israel and admit the bombings have delivered a severe blog. while the attacks appear to have targeted the groups, members, many civilians have been caught up in the violence. hospitals have been overwhelmed

. residence and now fearful of the electronic devices. or in the middle of it, you can, we expect any good from 0. because children are being killed that are on the bed inside small devices, and they would that the need to deal with that. we don't even know of cost me scared. my children, my to being children, all of us involved them going back all who don't feel safe. but if we have 5000 injured interest to date on this isn't a small model as well. mean by who can think on the phone? no. when i heard about what happened, i left my phone on the motorcycle and walked away and on my iphone with my system, and now i have i signs and when concerns are running us about the life science and lithium batteries with my siblings. also avoid doing with touching the funds on of a fair ring. they might fix it, like it's a normal reaction. we are a country that has been handled yet, so we're not by that. so lemme through a meanwhile is around his nose. acknowledge the attack,

it's defense minister says the country isn't a new phase of was always the move. i add to the goal is to safely returned the residence of the north back to their homes. as time goes by, has spun that will pay an increase in price on the bill. he's velocities. it will continue its attacks on northern israel as long as the war in guns a continues and as vowing retaliation for the bombings of recent days. well, as we said, as, as well as leader address the lebanese people today is really war. planes were heard. flying in the sky is over, be root our be root bureau, g mohammed trade has more the minutes before the speech. so the, the been easiest way. healey border witnessed the big escalation, isabella fire, a barrage of rockets and these way the army carried out. multiple air strikes on different locations in south in the been and during has been left. chief speech is

why you need that fighting jets were flying very low over that they were breaking the sound barrier and carrying out huge sonic bombs which left frustrations among the, the east citizens here. and they moved the leader of hezbollah has as called these detonations. we've seen in the past few days, a massacre and a declaration of war by israel. what is he offering the people of lebanon and other than the likelihood of war with his re as well? to begin with, this was unexpectedly that a common speech by an assault. he used some sharp words, of course, but that his tone was slow, i would say. and to conclude, his speech kept the level off this confrontation below the soil out war. the militant groups, he said that is why i wanted to kill the 5000 people in less than 2 minutes, adding that and uh it by, this is why it's so possible constraints and lows. and red lines. you said this was

a massacre and fault to seek severe the revenge. he also said that the party is investigating the events and that it's so close to come to a tangible tools. on this respect, the group chief said that his group will continue to striking israel in support for gaza as a that this is the, the, the bottom of what he calls support uh for uh, gaza. and that will not stop before a ceasefire is waged in the gaza. and also the admitted that the attacks have dealt the big blow to has the look. will the groups response of change the relationship then it has with the wrong? i mean, are we talking about more and reading an influence now in living on as well as well, is organically connected to iran. this is how it's perceived. and it's very hard to

believe that this is going to change any time soon. and in fact, his belief is gaining more and more support from iran at the 7. now this attack and live in on it was widely perceived as a loss of the determines the question that has the last been speaking about massively jeopardize test bullets command and control system, but also cause more damage to the party members and, and back of the board completely in shock by this a security breach, and now it is believed that hundreds of, if not thousands of as well as militants will be out of service for at least some time due to the injuries i think as well. i would need some time to digest this event and find alternative to to store is communications and system into a sore models of its offers and backers. and he has all the support from being around for this. c, w is mohammed administrative reporting tonight from the root mom and thank you a me here in the studio now is raphael, both song, he's

a security and terrorism expert with the german institute for international and security affairs. it's good to have you back here in the studio with us. let me just start by asking you, what did you think when you heard about these attacks this week, were you surprised that pagers and walkie talkies were used? yeah, i mean, absolutely. it was a huge surprise to everybody just there. she a scale of it. and i mean, there was a double irony here because apparently the test will are switched to those more old fashioned communication devices because everybody was afraid of israel cyber capabilities to track and hack smartphones. and now that you know a double double kind of attack. and as we learn more about it, it was actually rather old fashioned way. so 1st everybody was the oh is it yet another super advance is really cyber capability. we haven't learned about the no, it was old fashioned explosives and just deceptive shipping. so brings you to it for training the supply chain. and so exactly are we do you think watching a whitening conflict in the middle east here?

i mean that's obviously a huge concern already for several months. so if not right after the 7th october attack, i mean, who knows? i mean, diplomatic efforts have been ongoing very long and they're intensified and nobody wants original war. and who knows what is the final tipping point? i think they, we can have slight confidence, but this is very slight confidence that because that hasn't happened yet. and also because ron has stepped back from the bring so far is that is facing other challenges. that ultimately calculation is still really for no one. again, including for his blind for ron, but you know, if, if there was another another publication festival off, we knew we were expecting to see a massive retaliation from iran after the, you know, leader of her mosque was assassinated on raining a territory several weeks ago. but that, that didn't happen. i mean, indeed, i mean, that was obviously a huge shore for us on the west. we put all his weight into the equation to,

to kind of sim demonstrating don't do it. mm hm. and i mean the israel, of course, by itself is a formidable for us, as we also know today. and so what has been shown and seen so far is there is no major new states and by the regional powers, that changes like ration. but of course we can be sure and um, i mean that's the major major or the the leader of hezbollah. dave said, what we saw in the past 2 days was a massacre. it amounts to a declaration of war by israel. what about it constituting a war cry? while this has been the debate really the last 2 days, i mean, technically speaking, the argument is that because of the convention on certain conventional weapons, which is a part of international law. ok. international law being more okay. it's no, it's not directly enforceable, but it is signed by both lebanon and his role, that booby traps and its, those devices that can be indiscriminate,

would be not acceptable. and so the question is, does this attack sort of, of is the same? is it really the discriminant attack, like it will be trapped? or is it something that really targets the middleton's? is it the proportion that attack on milton some hesper law. so depending on where you're following this, yes, you could say it's a war crime or at least against this convention, or it is a very targeted strike against the law. it looks like, i guess it from the outside. it looks like this may have been a psych ops attack because what the result of this is the people who may have been trying to hide their affiliation with as well. and maybe they've been added because they had a pager in their pocket. but also now everyone of the country reporters are saying they're worried about any device having a battery or something inside that could be detonated. so they're paranoid, they're scared, their security is gone. i mean, obviously i would be to, i mean, if i wasn't the situation, it's not quite clear whether this was the direct intention. i mean,

i'm confirmed and i really have no further ways to corroborate the. i'm confirmed stories was that this was the capabilities of israel held in reserve for major war with his blog. and that this was close to being discovered and so use it or lose it so that they kind of just basically used it before it was last. but whether that's true or not, i can't tell. yeah, you know, but it definitely got the attention of more than just as well. that's for sure. it was always good to see you. we appreciate your analysis. thank you. welcome us. alright, here's a quick look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the african union says it impacts vaccines had been administered in africa for the 1st time in parks was formerly known as monkey pox. the union said several 100 high risk people have been inoculated in bewanda. most of them in areas near the border with the democratic republic of congo, the country worst hit by the operate. the european parliament has passed the

resolution, recognizing opposition, candidates and window gonzales, unity as venezuela's, legitimate president. lawmakers also called for sanctions against incumbent president nicholas my dear to after he claimed victory in the dispute is the election prompting gonzalez good idea to sleep, to spain. the resolution, however, does not reflect the stance of all you. members. is staying with the european union european commission president or slip in july and has promised 10000000000 euros and aid for countries in central and eastern europe hit by severe floods. the pledge came during talks with leaders in the polish city of vocal, no authorities and volunteers. there are working to fortify riverbanks and to protect the buildings from the rising waters caused by storm boars. floods across the region that have killed at least 24 people. so far are, is a little underlying,

praised rescue teams of the affected regions. and she promised that help is on the way. i am here to re assure you that your up stands by your side. this is a moment of need of the disaster of natural disaster, and we have all to stand together to overcome the challenge. and it was for me on one hand hot breaking to see the destruction and the dmv a station through the flats. but i must also say it was on the other hand, heart warming to see the in no mas solidarity between the people in your countries, the volunteers, the countless volunteers helping day and night. tireless to overcome this disaster . like all the ego reporter monte torres, she is covering this story for us from poland. that's where she is tonight. marks of the european commission president said that europe is there to help. what will

that help look like? this help will be very, very effective. this is what she said right now, is that software stuff on the line that can confirm that there will be 300 out there will be 2 funds raised up to one is the solid. there are 2 funds which will be used to rebuild the infrastructure of the roads. the the, the damage rose did and is the cable. is that what people have been hoping for? and the 2nd fun i. well, i don't know if the, if that was the people were hoping for, but the 2nd one definitely is the 2nd one is a flexible one and seclusion of funds. so all countries that are that are all funds are yeah,

unfortunately i think we're having problems with that connection. it's you pulled and we certainly apologize for that. we see if we can establish it later a, the nigeria is warning of it further flooding after neighboring cameras. that it would start releasing water from its largest dam within 400000 people. the nigeria have already been effected after heavy rain caused floods in wide spread destruction across the western and central african authorities fear the latest flooding could effect as many as 11 countries. the floods have worse and the humanitarian crisis inside nigeria where violence has forced millions of people from their home. 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. a, 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 popo rom related. com, so that these are farmers who would rather be on their farms. now being hit by slides. so what we saw today was

a 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. here's a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines. this hour around the world, the u. s. coast guard has released the new images of the titan submersible that imploded last year, killing 5 people. they show the passenger compartment after it was crushed under the pressure of the see the tight and was headed to the side of the titanic ship. rec, at the bottom of the north atlantic and investigation is ongoing. at least one person has been killed and 2 injured in russian. shelling of ukraine's central has ever

reads the region. ukrainian authorities is a russia used rockets, artillery, and drones against civilian homes and other buildings. it comes a day after ukraine struck 18 russian arms depot, causing a massive fi. well, there are the eyes in the sky and a key weapon in the war. in ukraine last year, the russian army received nearly 840000 drones to support its operations on the ground for a russian president vladimir putin. that's not enough. he wants to ramp up production 10 fold this year. that has the nato alliance word, our brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena, to attend to the native exercise in the netherlands, where allies are trying out new ways to down in the me draw a unit on petrol, comes under attack by enemy drones. just one of the training scenarios being

practiced here at the base and red pad the netherlands. during this exercise, nato is testing different content. drone technologies, including state of the art sensors and generous disrupt, is by real. i think that's being accepted within the alliance. it's a boy and technology horizon, it's relatively inexpensive. it's relatively easy to employ these systems. so they have a menace fight to, as well as a very technologically we'll challenge to the alliance in the operation center, experts for more than 50 companies presents their solutions among them is sign one for and then from defend to k. he tells us he strategy is different from simply jamming a drone signal. we have another mode where we actually hack into the drawing itself into the flight controller, which is the computer that drives the driving around. and we can reprogram that flight controller. so the drive will go where we want and the pilot cannot do anything about it. for the 1st time you creating and drone specialists like yarrow

slab took part in the exercise key. it has integrated the drone technology within their command and control systems. the arrows lab says he's here to share experience from the battlefield. i'm trying to say that's a draw. so there to use threats. and so i'm trying to explain how does use that in front line and what to be prepared, maybe call to change scenarios in the futures as the use of drones, like this one by rogue states and non state actors becomes an increasing threats. nato is looking for more effective and cheaper ways to detect, identify and neutralize them. and in this regard, some of the new low coast solutions coming out of ukraine may provides just what the alliance has been seeking. with a jennings gps signal, some big cities or using a digital map to trick and me drones. ukraine looks to be adapting quickly to new

challenges on the ground. the key lessons for me is, is that we need to react quickly. this is not a sort of slow pace technology domain. this is rapid officials here tell us, nato is at a crossroads as countries like russia run up there drone production. the alliance and its members will need to invest more in the account to a drone systems. germany is far wide political party. the alternative for germany known as the a f. d is hoping for another strong showing as voters go to the polls on sunday in the eastern german state of brandenburg around 2 and a half 1000000 people live in brand new. bergen surrounds the capital berlin. as you see on the map, they are a since german reunification. more than 30 years ago, brandenburg has remained a strong hold for the social democrats. but now they face big competition with the a f d. looking to be ahead in the polls. part of the reason for that is the party's popularity

. amongst the younger voters, use political correspond. matthew moore went to the city of a bridge of all the north of berlin to find out what's behind their 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 till tenants a for germany party and their rules 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. sometime football come by, we can sit down and talk about the election on talks, why? he concedes the online campaigning, present challenges for foxy's in the center. this is the owner for art. it's also question of gravity 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 is for me to but i suspect it's because the, the offers simple solutions to complex issues that when there's no high lack of education, then 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,

i'd vets targeting young people. i went to the sizes within the country that's interpreted as racism. about young people realize that we're not race at all. but i personally have friends with dark skin color melinda, be, or i don't the as being, that means racism is a political smear. and we as the 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 poxy runs 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 it moving i'm not sure yet decided or unwilling to say the really extent of the the support will soon become clear. here's a reminder now of our top story, this, our hezbollah is leader, her son, as roland says last targeting his group of mountains with declaration of war. 37

people are now known to have died after 2 days of explosions and living on targeting. hospitalized communications devices considered a terrorist organization by many countries, has full planes. israel for the blessed by jerry as morning of further flooding after neighboring campbell rooms, so that it would start releasing water from its largest dam. reason heavy rain has already effecting more than 400000 people in the country authorities fear the league is flooding. could hit as many as 11 countries. don't forget, you can always get the w news on the go. just download our app from google play or from the app store that will give you access to all of the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news. so there's lots of sports, business and entertainment news as well. plus, analysis and background from our correspondence around the globe. you want you need to be news. i'll be back in 90 minutes with more of old news
