german state of brandenburg goes to the polls this weekend tonight. we focused on the far right alternative for germany party and how that party appeals to young people. the brigades, our view is watching on tv ups in the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin with reports of dozens of is really strikes on southern 11 on in just the past few hours. lebanese and security sources are telling reuters that it's one of the most intense bombardments in nearly a year or earlier in the day is really live in on trade and strikes over there. shared border is really jets were heard in the sky is over. be rude. as hezbollah as leader responded to this week's mass attacks using exploding painters and walkie talkies. in a televised address a son that's robert. describe the attacks as

a declaration of war by israel on the lebanese beat. a fresh is really strikes hips, southern living on. while is really jude's flu love of a baby breaking the sound barrier. the ex time to take place exactly as his beloved leader made this address. mother yell name over 2 days and one more minutes on tuesday and then one minutes on wednesday. the history of the enemy was aiming to kill and no less than 5000 people in 2 minutes without caring about any limits on the, on they have no problem with where they are killed, what they're doing and how they were killed. bobby well mindlessly waiting to be located. dozens of people have been killed and thousands injured up to hundreds of pages and walkie talkies used by his belie,

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 and 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 in type 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 back all who can feel safe, some sort of uh, we have 5000 injured in just 2 days on. this isn't a small model as well. me about who can take you 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. so now i have,

i signed. and when concerns are running us about the license and lithium batteries with my sibling starts to avoid doing the 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 hacked yet. so we have nothing uh valid. so lemme through meanwhile is around his nose. acknowledge the attack. it's defense minister says the country isn't a new phase of one. who is the move i add to the goal is to safely retain the residence of the north back to their homes. as time goes by, has spun that will pay an increasing price legal bill. he's velocities, it will continue its attacks on northern israel as long as the war in guns a continues and is vowing retaliation for the bombings of recent days. where they were bureau chief mohammed, traitor, has more now on those is really war planes which were heard flying over bay were the minutes before the speech. so the,

the been easiest for the board to witness the big escalation as well. i fired a barrage of rockets and these way the army carried out multiple air strikes on different locations in south and the been on and doing has been left. chief speech is why you need that fighting jets where flying very low over that they were breaking the sound barrier and carrying out huge sonic bombs, which left frustration among the, the been east citizens here. and they moved the leader of hezbollah has, as called these detonations, we've seen in the past few days of massacre and the declaration of war by israel. what is he offering the people of lebanon and other than the likelihood of war with his re, or what 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 it by this is why it's so possible constraints and lows. and red lines. you said this was a must occur and filed 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 to 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 wage in the casa, and also the admitted that the attacks have dealt a big blow to hezbollah. will the groups response,

change the relationship then it has with the wrong? i mean, are we talking about more and reading and influence now in living now as well as well as 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 in the been on it was widely perceived as a loss of to determine the situation as well as been speaking about it. most of the jeopardize test bullets command and control system, but also cause more damage to the party at 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 the militants, will be out of service for at least some time due to the injuries. i think. as below, we need some time to digest this event and find alternatives to,

to store it's communications and system to store models of its offers and backers. and he has old support from here on for this. c, w is mohammed administrative reporting tonight from the root mom and thank you a me here 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 the she a scale of it. and i mean, there was a double irony here because apparently hospitalized switch to those 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 in way. so 1st everybody was the, oh is it yet another super advanced is really cyber capability. we haven't learned

about the no, it was old fashioned explosives just the deceptive shipping. so bridges infiltrating the supply chain and know exactly how 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 step back from the bring so far as facing other challenges, that ultimately calculation is still really for no one again, including for his blind for wrong. but, you know, if, if there was another another publication that somewhere off we, we, we were expecting to see a massive retaliation from iran after the, you know,

leader of her moss 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 some demonstrating don't do it. and um, i mean is right, of course, by itself as 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 statement by the regional powers that change that equation. 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. okay. international law being more okay, it's no, it's not directly enforceable, but it is signed by both lebanon and his real, that booby traps and expose devices that can be indiscriminate, would be not acceptable. and so the question is, does this attack sort of, of is the same? is really the discriminant attack, like if we trap, or is it something that really targets the middleton's is, or the proportion that attack on milton, some hesper law. so depending on where you fall on 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 golf. i mean, obviously i wouldn't 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 about. i'm confirmed stories was that this was a capability of israel held in reserve for major war with his blog. and 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. who knows? but it definitely got the attention of more than just as well. oh, that's for sure. it was always good to see you. we appreciate your analysis. thank you. welcome. a quick look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the african union says impacts of vaccines. a bit administered in africa for the 1st time in fox was formerly known as monkey pox.

a lot of 5 fi to police sirens all the time. and they're telling me the last the last 2nd and i just there sandbags everywhere. i've cycled along the river and everything is protected. i think for the moment that should be enough huge efforts by citizens and no sorry to use to build barriers have so far protected the city center from the west of the storm. real footage shows how flood waters swamped the suburbs. on a visit to the dots of european commission president was to live under lion promised much needed funds. these are extraordinary times. and extraordinary times need extraordinary measures. at 1st sight, 10000000000 euros

slides. so what we saw today was continued challenges for people to live away from their homes, nigeria, the most populous country, and not 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 use elisa wilma is in law goes, he told us more about the current conditions and nigeria as well the situation and especially when it comes to the flooding in my degree, comfortable new state. that is that people have been displaced with talking about. it's close 240-0000 with the more than a 1000000 to the affected here. now we've seen the comes with many of these people i've been, this comes, have been filled. so 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 and i've been dried up for them. so it puts up because the tens and to make sure the arrangements seem to come, have just been filled to capacity. i don't forget that this the, it makes it more than a week as soon as the them in the north in the country northeast. so i'm really flooded, more than 15 percent of the seats. they offer me degree info, new states, uh with a live stock destroyed homes, destroyed families. i've affected in fact that we have quite problems of contamination with other be sewage. what does that have been aspect that include the major hospitals? it'd be an effect on damage due to the flooding situation. well, they 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 his operations on the

ground. now for russian president vladimir putin, that's not enough. he must have ramp up production 10 for this year, and that has the nato alliance word. are brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena attended a native exercise in the netherlands where allies are trying out new ways to shoot down and to be drones or do you need on petrol? comes under attack by enemy drones. just one of the training scenarios being practiced here at the base and bread at paris, the netherlands doing this exercise, nato is testing different content, drawing technologies, including state of the art sensors and generous distresses 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 term as well as, as a very technologically real challenge to the alliance. in the operation center, experts for more than 50 companies presents their solutions among them is simon for

and then from defend to k. he tells us his 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 in a single bound fit. for the 1st time you creating and drone specialists like arrows, slop took part in the exercise key. it has integrated drone technology within the 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. this is really a fuse threats. and i'm trying to explain how it is used there in the front line and to 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 co solutions coming out of ukraine may provides just what the alliance has been seeking, weather jennings, gps sickness and big cities, or using a digital map to trick enemy drones. ukraine looks to be adapting quickly to new challenges on the grounds. the key less is for me is, is that we need to react quickly. this is not a sort of slow pace technology in 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. was the phenomena reporting there. germany's at the far right 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 and the eastern german state of brandenburg around 2 and a half 1000000 people live in the state which surrounds the capital berlin. since german unification, more than 30 years ago, the area has remained a strong hold for the social democrats. but now they're facing some serious competition with the a if the looking to be stronger in the polls. part of the reason for that is the parties, popularity amongst younger voters, dw is political, corresponded matthew moore went to the city of abraham, of all of 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 will. they don't tell you if the young people are flocking to the far right till 10. it's a for germany party and they're 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 rub your eyes a bit. as a social democrat current, they show his sent a letter to every 1st time volta and his constituency, inviting them to a barbecue. sometimes i'll come by. we can sit down and talk about the elections 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 generation video depicting a vision of white germans under threat from foreigners. it's used when produced, this can be crushed by a game called save. gemini. players are encouraged to the port, dark skinned man. 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 from to but i suspect it's because the, the offers simple solutions to complex issues. one, business hi, lack of education and fear of the unknown. out of time, the, the 10 digit is enjoying the attention of some school students. he dismissed doctors, ations, but the party use his research talk with old, you know, adverts targeting young people. i went to the atrocities, wasn't there no 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 melinda, be, 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 on top of my family, it was for the a f, d, a z and use equipment. and i'm not sure yet decided or unwilling to see the really extent of the, the support will soon become clear. what you need to be news after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day. stick around. we'll be right back. the

house telling the brains to 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 really clever insects in 45 minutes on d, w. the

think the or for just twice think ahead or with outside the box on your but always remember to think for yourself. we all had to sign was incredibly like, providing you with free information dw made for mind this shadows, these costs and video shed lights on the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across up. and he employed to score suppose tactic farms and destroy lives. what is the legacy of this wide spread racist depression today?

history, the people we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the the leader of hezbollah today accused is read all of carrying out a massacre this week, when thousands of pages and walkie talkies used by hezbollah suddenly exploded, as he spoke, is rarely war planes could be heard over be root, are, is real and hezbollah headed for a full blown war. and what does this mean for israel's war against the mos in gauze of the us is still pushing for a cease fire. they are but with the front lines multiplying the escalation and diplomacy, they seem to be misplaced variables and an equation for war. i'm for golf and berlin. this is the day i.
