. i'm here until berlin. thank you very much for joining us. we begin in southern lebanon, where israel has launched a large number of airstrikes and has full of forces in recent hours. the reuters news agency is reporting it's one of the most intense apartments in nearly a year. earlier in the day is real and hezbollah trades and heavy fire, or the israel lebanon border is really jets. were also heard in the sky is over be root as has well as leader responded to this week's mass attack using exploding pages and walkie talkies in a televised address has on this for all of a choose is real of the attack and described it as a declaration of war on the lebanese people freeze is really strikes hips, southern living on while is really jude's flu love over baverly, breaking the sound barrier of the axes time to take place. exactly as his beloved leader made this address. monday only over 2 days left and one more minutes

on tuesday. and in one minutes, on the wednesday, the history of the enemy was a mean 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, mind them as the way to get that. ok to get them. dozens of people have been killed and thousands injured. up to hundreds of pages and walkie talkies used by his black 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 their electronic

devices. in the middle of it, sure. didn't we expect any good from himself because children, i mean get it on the bed inside smart 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 all who don't feel safe. i'm sort of, uh, we have 5000 injured in just 2 days on. this isn't a small model as well. mean by took into account 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, starts at avoiding or 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 high, but yet, so we have nothing uh valid. so lemme who did you say meanwhile, israel, 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

residents of the nose black to their homes. as time goes by, has spun, i 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 and guns a continues and is vowing retaliation for the bombings of recent days. i'm now joined by david dowd, senior fellow on, is real 11 and has beloved the foundation for defense of democracies in washington . so david, how much closer is the region to a wider conflict? or thank you for having me on. i wouldn't say were necessarily quotes or at least the if we're talking from the perspective of head bullets response. if you look at the secretary general has industrial look speech today. it was mostly an exercise and damage control. a re, emphasis that has below will continue the state of the in temple of attacks against israel, but it begin on october 8th when they begin packing israel without provocation to

uh, to support its allies because of the trip until aspire that you're going to 0. and a promise that it will retaliate for these the kind of communication device attacks at some point in the future, but he didn't specify it time didn't 5, but specify the nature of such a retaliation. but from both sides, it doesn't seem like there uh the there it's interest in uh, turning this into a wider conflict has changed from the israeli side. however, we see of patients running out with diplomatic efforts to return this citizen of northern israel to their home, safely what you set us rolo was engaging in damage control and he also called the attack susan peters and walkie talkies. unprecedented. are we any closer to understanding how exactly this was carried out logistically, as well as the different conflicting reports and how the israelis were able to to, to carry this out. initial report said that these really somehow some signal to the

deeper there but made the the batteries and i'm looking at my own batteries load. i know explosives expert to know if that's that's possible or not. the other reports indicated that somehow these really interdicted a deeper shipments that hadn't been i had ordered to substitute for their cellphone and other communication device. they thought this would be more secure from it's really intersection from a spying point of view. and when these really contradicted the shipment, they planted a small amount of explosives in these deeper in which were then shipped to head blah, uh, which is oregon. and then what distributed numbers. i've also seen reports that the uh, the company from which has bought and then a buying these papers were uh and is really show company. so rather than introducing the shipping piece really heavy, deeper than a communication device, pre prepare and center their content bluff. and once these devices were distributed

to headboard members, these rarely seem to have set them off remotely from within israel. the exact mechanism that again, we're not sure you'd really, obviously haven't claimed this or disclosed further information about how exactly they were able to execute this attack. now you alluded to this a little bit of resume or a little bit earlier. rather, that is real, were shifting, its focus in the military campaign is really intelligence was behind this attack. what exactly do you think are goals or but for the past week and a half we tell referred talk from is really officials. they meet defense ministry, rock alone, but others, but the way the fighting will be shipping to the north. the cabinet made a returning israel citizen to the north a, an objective of the war. this can obviously, unfortunately only be achieved militarily. and they authorize the it's really a minister and defense minister to take any action necessary, either offensive or defensive to, uh,

to accomplish that goal. this could probably have been the 1st stopping blow against has blah, uh, you're dropping their telecommunication communications networks, showing dozens of their fighters severely wounding over 200 and wounding, to some degree, a set of your thousands of others. if you think about where these wounds seem to have been either to the eyes and or the pelvic region right. if ford have but thousands of heads bullfighters out of commission, so it could've been softening. there there is a softening blo, one that would reduce headboards fighter capability by by that by several 1000 interrupting their communications as a preliminary step to perhaps broad a military action. but that can't be certain yet. all right, i'm afraid we have to leave it there. there so far, that was david doubled from the foundation for defense of democracies in washington dc. thank you very much for your analysis. thank you so much. it's in the

united states, vice president, kamala harris has slammed donald trump for cleaning the migraines in the city of springfield, ohio, r i o r, a quote, getting people's pets ever said. the former president's comments were designed to divide us as a country. local officials have repeatedly said there was no evidence for trumps claims, but the small city of springfield has still found itself at the centre of a fire storm with thousands of bomb threats reporting following from comments to www. ebro. he visited the city to find out more here at roosevelt creole. the reason just heidi's implant chains on offer. i mean they're serving a taste of home, wants to eat the foot. that's the 1st introduction to our community. the love we put in the food, the restaurant which opened a little over a year ago is a sign of spring fields, growing haitian population. we came here to escape the violence and,

and our kids in their home country. most of them are legally authorized to live and work in the us under the program expanded by the biden ministration. like many blue collar towns in the midwest, springfields population had been declining for years. marjorie kovalevsky says haitians came here because of jobs and cheap housing were plentiful. she and her daughter run a small translation and advice center for newcomers in the back room as of this haitian grocery store. they hate community has given new life to the community because they are active participant in the economy to. but then the numbers rows quickly. officials estimate. there are now anywhere between 12 and 15000 haitians in springfield, they see the cities infrastructure and public services are overwhelmed. in august of 2023, a car driven by a haitian migrant who

a school bus killing an 11 year old boy and prompting even more concern from residence about the growing presence of haitian migrants. these being poach will be monahan is like former journalist and then somebody helps run a facebook group for spring fielders. share their thoughts about everything from safety, the economy to rumors of pets disappearing lucy, homes losing jobs. so just costs going up so high that you can't afford the things you feel to ford, mostly above all the us talking about how our city government ignores that concerns and marks us and insinuates that our concerns are rooted in some sort of misplaced, raceway antipathy towards patients all your ac william says he's ambivalent about trumps claims that haitian migrants are stealing and eating pets. but at least appreciates that they have drawn national spotlight to an issue he feels, has long been ignored, but for the haitian community. trump's comments have caused nothing but fear.

margie kovalevsky has been getting panic calls for the past 2 weeks. they don't know what they've done because they've trying to behave themselves to what's right . and they don't know if one day the white supremacist are going to attacked. and i don't know if the local is going to attack them and especially those with children . and it's not just the haitian community that's been effected since donald trump's come in. there been dozens of bomb threats here in springfield forcing since schools to evacuate their students. the city has also cancel the annual culture. rules. got cri all the debacle. has had an unexpected twist. people are flocking to the restaurant to show their support. this couple from arkansas came here, send a message, were supporting this community today. but next week, it could be a different community targeted just for political gain,

both city and local haitian community leaders are calling for com. they want springfield out of the spotlight and on a path to healing to nigeria as a warning of further flooding after neighboring camera rooms that it would start releasing water from its largest dam. more than 400000 people. nigeria have already been affected after heavy rain caused floods and widespread destruction across the western and central africa. 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 led to a dom. well, bursting and neighboring common room last week, and now the threat of further flooding loons. the new river flows down stream from cameroon. tonight, jerry 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 the 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. popo rom related. com, so that these are farmers who would rather be on their farms now being hit by floods. 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. thanks for doing in the living independent, arise to our society is full of contrasts and any quantity is a big many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend as a new slaves and what is home how do we tackle the major issues about time because there is a significant.
