on tuesday. and in one minutes on wednesday, the history of the enemy was a mean to kill and no less than $5000.00 people in 2 minutes without caring about any limits on the bank. and 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. okay, 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. 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 me. i'm going back all who can feel safe? i'm sort of, uh, we have 5000 injured and just 2 days on this isn't a small metal as well. members 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 life science and lithium batteries. my sibling starts to 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 hacked yet, so we have nothing uh by that. so lemme through 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 retain the residents of the nose black to their himes. as time goes by,

hesper and i will pay an increase in price for the gold wheel. his velocities, it will continue its attacks on northern israel as long as the war in guns that continues and is vowing retaliation for the bombings of recent days. let's get more now from dw is tonya claim, the injury slim and mohammed straight to in bainbridge, welcome to you boy. if mohammed we'll start with you, we heard his beloved lead has um, no sir. all that. just in saying that israel has declared war on the lebanese people. how do you think his blog is going to retaliate now as well as chief vowed to seek severe revenge, but did not provide details about the nature of the utilization. but most importantly, his speech was widely perceived to be below the all tor levels. now, to better understand the situation, let's draw the sequence of events of the this week on monday as well said the

return of is right is to the north is now a war gold and tuesday, thousands of pages of used by his beloved designated simon tenuously on wednesday, hundreds of walkie talkies are used by hezbollah detonated also some of the tennessee, the the desk told of both the device of tox is at 37 and about 3000 wounded on thursday, in the fall of delivered disputes and said that is why you, these will not return to the north and as militant group will keep at talking at northern israel until a ceasefire is reached in gaza. this was followed by the largest and at the widest wave of his, where he air strikes on solved in lebanon last night. and by the end of this, the same day has been cleaned, 17 talks on the is was so technically we are in the peak of the attention on this front in nearly a year since last october rise,

antonio mohammed just mentioned then israel says he wants to get displaced, he's riley's back into the homes in the north of the country. do we have any idea how it's planning to to do that, given the storing tensions as well. so far we hearing is really officials and among the most prominently it is very defense minister. your skill on saying that the cravat, t, of the conflict is not moving north. and that is for the moment, many translated and moving resources to the north and a border like a division that 1st moved north, more exercises, but also because of preparedness, the alertness of the military. and basically, uh, you know, we, this to, the emphasis has now given more to the military route and it seems that the government has lost somehow patients to look at a diplomatic solution. and we're seeing this also as we just heard, no, the inter,

intensifying of fighting a going on between on his below, on southern the been known and in northern israel. now the r d s. the is really military said that in the statement, this one that it's hard to just attacked over a 100 husband missed i don't want to is that we're ready as they say to launch a. they missed hard since a late a thursday and also late a thursday night. they had changed for the overnight, the home phone guidelines, so many communities in the north for people, for a living the in this region saying to have to stay close to shelters, they shouldn't be a golfing or they shouldn't be out in an open area. so this was for the for the moment this was listed again this morning, but again, everett sarmens also and also it's a very, very volatile situation. the correspondence tanya crane, the injury slim there, and mohammed straightened by root a bit earlier. will simon may bunny is

a professor of international politics at lancaster university in the u. k. he focuses on the middle east and i asked him a bit earlier that his assessment of israel is military. i'm following the light to strikes on his blog, tockets 11. as well, so we know what the states that i am so which is to uh to reintegrate members of the northern communities. and that was back. you waited in lights of tensions between his right of his by law post october 7. but what actually looks like, i guess there's a couple of different scenarios. so we don't know if it's what we've seen over the past few days as a pre closer to an oil out invasion. those are southern level. that's what i guess many all figuring that this would escalates an invite. ringback for long ground incursion, or whether it is an attempt to re establish a, a form of the terence between israel and his by lot by extension it on and of the members of the so called excess of resistance. and if it is the last to then it's

emblematic of what we've been seeing, that some of called the quote unquote shadow ball across the past few months as the various actors involved to try to reduce that sort of red lines that will stop any wider escalation okay, so escalation incursion or to terrence, you're saying israel, sabotage of his beloved pages and walkie talkies though, is being seen as a tactical success. but does that make sense strategic? the if it isn't the present you to some kind of wider offensive against his blog as well, in books for you. it creates power. no, yeah, it's psychological operations as i upsets it's generate to this real sense of power and lawyer as to what might happen next. your package earlier spoke of a people leaving that phones on on bikes and i've, i've seen stories and spoken to people who switched off. baby monitors,

for example, see a full list of what might happen. so it's generating a fee rates. it's a very clear attempt at demonstrating, quote, unquote res, own superiority. the idea that you can conduct these types of apps that's all seem to be an i, i say this very costly seems to be under the threshold for a wider escalation, but still demonstrates military superiority. nobody's not me saying, but this is under the threshold. this is what is seen to be by a, by people working in this great zone area. seemed to be the general tactics you want to demonstrate that you can do these types of things without pushing it towards a wider escalation. and of course, this is seen to be by many people around the world in breach of. ready ready monitor or different international humanitarian laws, rules of war etc, etc. so that are all costs. but the big thing here is that people of level of that

of technology right now rice has blogs. lita has done not and ms rela has pledged revenge for the page or a tax. what options does he have to but he couldn't really say anything other than that, i guess given that says by law, this party of got this and that the need some resistance organization has, has generated it's its essence, it's ideology predicated on resistance to israel. it could not just let this go, but listening to his remarks and thinking through what he said, it's not a cold for a lot more. it's not a cold for dramatic escalation and retaliation. it's very similar to what we've heard from other members of the success of resistance. it's very similar to what that ron has said in the past, after the killing of, of, of various prominent irradiance that goes on the killing of, of the, the full so must lead to. so it's demonstrating that it's,

it's trying to continue with its quest of, of standing up against is really aggression sort of seems to be as ready to your question. but it's also pushing it to a point that doesn't lead to an escalation on it's part. and i think that's a very, very difficult and delicate balancing act. okay, so it's so not a call for all that. well, your saying, what role does ron play see in has the last decision making as well, the runners go to a very close relationship because by law it helps filed on to the part the code back in 1982 is provided. audiological support is by law follows ron's ideological world view. this i did a very at the key the regency jurist, but over time the relationship has ever been flowed a little bit and then his boy. ready was sold to to assert his own agency to take its own decisions. we saw that in 2006 when when it's paula went to. ready with his

route without the green light from iran. so it is a close relationship, but is not just what, what someone call a proxy relationship. what type wrong says you must do this and his boss says, okay, there's a complexity to it. but the writing and our bosses 11 on was allegedly injured in the page of walkie talkie bloss so iran is not happy the, the, the leader of the i o g c has called for retaliation. so i guess we just have to wait and see how it run, tries to, to respond without pushing towards a wider escalation. thank you very much for your insights. this simon simon may button a professor of international politics at lancaster university in the u. k. he's a quick look now at some of the stories making headlines today. european commission president was left on the line as arrived in t, where she said that she will offer support for you crimes believe good energy infrastructure. ukraine says russian strikes have destroyed around 80 percent of

its demo plants fund a line said to you is prepared to offer money to full humanitarian hide and repairs . i think he was also promised to 10000000000 euros in ice. the pots of central and eastern europe hit by city of floods, emergency teams in poland and other countries have been struggling to keep rising. what is it by floods across the region of killed at least 24 people. so 5 informa us talk so style. oprah winfrey has hosted a started, campaign, advanced the democratic presidential candidate, couple of harris, numerous the liberties took part to express based support including brian cranston, chris rock. c jennifer lopez and last but not least, merrill street and his election died rolls close. the in the us, campbell of ours has taken a met donald trump for claiming that migrants in the city of springfield, ohio,

our leasing peoples pitts irises. the former president's comments were quite designed to divide us as a country. local officials have repeatedly said there was no evidence for trump's claims. but the small city of springfield still has found itself at the centre of a firestorm with thousands of bomb threats reported following trumps comments. the top we use i, a abraham went there to find out more here at roseville creole, friday's airplane teams on offered their serving a taste wants to eat the food. that's the 1st introduction to our community. the love we put in the food to 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 energy in her home country. most of them are legally authorized to live and work in the us under the program expanded by the by the administrator. like many blue collar towns in

the midwest, springfield's population had been declining for years. marjorie kovalevsky says patients came here because the job 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 patient grocery store, they have given a, has given new life to the community because they are active participant in the economy. but then the numbers rose, quickly. officials estimate there are no anywhere between $12.15 haitians in springfield. they say the cities infrastructure and public services are overwhelmed . in august of 2023, a card driven by a haitian migrant who's a school bus killing an 11 year old boy and prompting even more concerned from residence on about the growing presence of haitian white girls. these being poach.

william monahan is like former journalist and then somebody helps from 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 that. things usually at a ford, mostly above all, that is talking about how our city government, the ignores that concerns and marks us and insinuates that our concerns are routed and some sort of misplaced, racial antipathy towards patients. all your a city william says he's ambivalent about trumps claims that he shouldn't migrants or stealing and eating pets. but at least appreciate 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 tried to behave themselves to what's right

and they don't know if one day the white supremacists are going to attack, they 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 come in. there been dozens of bomb threats here in springfield forcing since schools to evacuate for students. the city has also cancel the annual culture. at rosco creole, the debacle has had an unexpected twist of people are flocking to the restaurant to show their support. this couple of from arkansas came here to 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 call. they want springfield out of the spotlight and on a path to healing and dw special correspondent ibrahim file,

that report you just saw. she joins us now from washington. d. c. i a tell us how have local authorities and residents been reacting to this really southern intense focus on this city following trump's comments as well as you may notice, jared, we were not able to interview any a city or state officials for that piece. we certainly tried, but they got back to us saying that because of the volume of attention they would be unable to accommodate our request for an interview. they've just been bombarded by a press and not just press. i mean, this has really, as we try to show trust, a small midwestern town into the national and to a very large extent, international spotlight bringing all sort of security concerns to the for. and so city officials have been very, very busy just the amount of bomb threats that they've had to deal with over the past 2 weeks. can overwhelm at any well functioning. a city hall in any

city, you know, of this size in the united states. but in terms of the, the, the response of the officials, officials, city officials, state officials, the governor has repeatedly said that the claims made by the former president our basement baseless. and that there is no evidence for them seeing that they hurt their community and that they have indeed brought unwanted attention. but my, from my reporting speaking to a some locals of springfield, they really don't care what their officials say. and they certainly, some of them still certainly believed despite the statements. and despite there being no evidence of, of pets being kidnapped and eaten by migrant, that migrants are doing so. so it's a, is often time walking through this town. there are different realities living in close proximity side by side. and it's, it's very, it's a sort of

a microcosm of the polarization that can be seen in so many parts of american society ahead of the selection. yeah, indeed. yeah. let's talk a bit more about springfield, it's got, as i understand that, around 58000 residents. within a short period, the haitian community has growing substantially. city officials have said that that has caused some problems. what kind of problems do they need? and just to give a little bit a tiny bit of detail, a short period is about is a period of about 33 years of pardon a, with a population increase of about, you know, anywhere between $20.00 to $25.00 a percent. and so it can, and city officials have admitted that it has over whelmed the infrastructure. it's not something that they are denying. we're talking about everything from a schools to hospitals, to fire services and police services. you know,

translation services are a massive issue. a lot of the migrants coming, you know, don't yet speak fluent english or not able to navigate, you know, the bureaucracy themselves. and so the, the city and the state have to spend money to provide a translators for them because these migrants, as we mentioned, unlike what donald trump and ged, then vance keeps saying, are mostly in the country, legally under the temporary, under temporary protection. a status at the same time. and this is something that i've heard from locals, is that springfield in a way needed people needed migrants needed, you know, new life because it was a city on the decline. but what they say is, and that is also something that i've heard from, you know, long standing members of the haitian community is that they, as a city, have reached their limit it a springfield,

isn't the only town affected by a structural decline at immigration in the us how important are places like these if we look at the upcoming election so, oh hi. oh, the state that springfield is in is, is no longer a, a swing state. you know, this handful of a states that could really sway the result of the national election. however, what we have seen play out in this tiny, a kind of small city in the midwest has, you know, it's, it's sort of like a, a, in a postcard, or as an indication of so many debates around integrations that are happening across the country. and i think to certain extent happening across the world, even in germany, there are discussions happening on, you know, whether or not the country is at capacity when it comes to taking in, taking in migrants and you know, what kind of skills or what kind of contribution these migrants need to be

a making so, you know, even though it's a small town, 60000 people, while it might not have an electoral impact, things that are happening there are having huge implications on how this is being talked about on the national level. the former president donald trump has vowed a has, has promised that he will visit springfield in the next 2 weeks. just imagine the kind of attention and security stream that, that would bring on the city already. that sort of over a overwhelmed, i mean, both the, the, the mayor and the governor of a springfield, a, the mayor of springfield and the governor of the state of ohio or republicans. and they both seemed quite hesitant about receiving the president fearing. uh, you know, feeling the strain and you know, this is just really overwhelmed, not just a officials, but also locals. they're just not used to that kind of attention. dw, special correspondent for human washington dc. i are thanks to look for your

reporting as well. tardies in portugal site the most dangerous series of fires in the north of the country have been extinguished. now this follows a week in which devices the blazes of rapids lives in hines, several deaths have been reported to. and if the worst may be over for now, for many defies, have had a lasting impact. in for knows, has been raging in thought to good around 100 fires, broke out in the central and northern regions over the weekend. thousands of firefighters, but deployed to bring them under control. the crews were facing conditions which were not in their favor, but it's a both i to do both and i think the wind is the main factor of change and that's what changed during the night. it makes it fine spread much more quickly to ship out a way of saying that me to myself with them in. i don't flat assembly. my husband and son were up all night and the fire got worse around 3 m. it's calmer now.
