the, the, don't you indeed know we can use live friends. i was in israel bombard, southern living on his ralph may latrice is it said 100 as belie rocket launches in a strikes as has the laws lead to a 1000 tough retribution after the daily device bloss targeting the groups on produce. also coming up a city on age, how donald trump's of baseless claims about migrants using pets of fuel pump threats in springfield or higher, will make members of its haitian community. now, at the center of the political firestone, somewhere in the 3 line can capital is the country he is out for a presidential election. the millions of voters shows the vote,

as it will be the 1st chance to choose a new data. since the country economic collapse, the welcome to the program, i am jared read. we begin in southern labor non way is ralph says it's 5 digits, have pounded mold, and $100.00 has the lot targets. israel's military says they hit rocket launchers and weapon facilities as they try to blows, we'd hezbollah across the border on thursday. the strikes came as his bloss lita blamed israel for the deadly device explosions targeting the militant group, considered a terrorist organization by many countries. a night of air strikes in southern 11 on of the the israel defense forces release. these images, they say show their war planes taking off to heat hezbollah targets,

they claim to have struck $100.00 rocket launchers and around $1000.00 rocket launcher barrels. ready to be used to immediately fire towards is riley territory. ours earlier has been a leader how some of those raw that issued a warning to israel. it came after dozens of people were killed and thousands injured when hundreds of pagers and walkie talkies used by has been a exploded way out. why so you as yes, he said this will be confronted with a severe reckoning and a just retribution in expected and unexpected ways and the mileage. but because this new battle involved hidden hands, the, let me change my approach down in the old. i will not talk about a time form and what place or date, what on demand. israel has not confirmed or denied that it was behind the glass,

but its defense minister has set the countries in a new phase of war. and the goal is to safely retain the residents of the north back to their homes. as time goes by has spun, i will pay an increase in price on the bill. but death trench and these latest is randy attacks have done little to this. her has paula which says it will continue to strike across the border into israel as the us and others call for restraint. so i'm in may, but it is a professor of international politics at lancaster university in the u. k. he focuses on the middle east and earlier i asked him for his assessment of israel and military. i'm following the lives of strikes on his ballade tockets in lebanon as well. we know what the states that i am so which is to uh, to reintegrate members of the northern communities. and that was a 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 ok, so escalation incursion or the terence you're saying is rails 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 has block as well in books for you, it creates power. no, it's psychological operations as i upsets it's generates a vis real sense of power noise. 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 or it's, 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 a different international humanitarian laws, rules of war, etc, etc. so there are costs. but the, 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 or what you couldn't really say anything other than that, i guess given that has by law, this part to you have got this 11 need some resistance organization has, has generated it's,

it's s. and since i deal with g 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 all out. war is not a cold for dramatic escalation in retaliation. it's very similar to what we've heard from other members of the success of resistance. it's very similar to what iran has said in the past of the killing of, of, of various, uh, prominent irradiance that goes on the killing of, of the former from us leader. so it's demonstrating that it's, it's trying to continue with it's quest of, of standing up against is really aggression. so what it seems to be is ready aggression, 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 you're saying what role does no, ron play here in has the last decision making as well. the runners

go to a very close relationship because by law it helps file 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 vendor yet. the key, the regency, if the jurist but over time the relationship has been flowed a little bit and then his boy. ready was sold to to assert its 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 called a proxy relationship. what tech wrong says you must do this and his boss is ok. there's a complexity to it. but the radiant on buses 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. with the as riley army uses, it's reviewing an incident in which is riley soldiers. whitfield apparently pushing 3 bodies from roofs in the occupied west bank. the footage was obtained by the associated press news agency. it appears to show it the soldiers pushed the bodies off adjacent multi story buildings. the incident took place after a ride in the northern part of the palestinian territory. for more than this i can speak now to dw correspondent tanya clean my engine ruthless, tanya, hi de, what more can you tell us about this? a very disturbing image instead of worth circulating on a social media in this particular incident. it was some from different angles to

different videos, was written this by a local, a journalist there also the a p. so that shows apparently 3 apparent the lifeless body. if you don't know, the condition of these people are being dragged by, is really a soldier's towards the edge of multi story buildings and then pushed to the ground snow. this happened in a city just south of the janine and the northern westbank, whether it's ready military had carried out a rage and the military side. this is an incident that is under review. now this of course happens on the back door of a deteriorating situation in the occupied a rest bang since the terror attacks on october 7 and the war in garza and human rights group have accused the is where the military of using excessive force against palestinians. now we ask the military also for come. they said that this is

a serious incident that does not coincide with idea of values and the expectations from idea of soldiers, and that the incident is under review. okay, thanks for that time. yeah, tanya claim uh in jerusalem day let's get a quick round up now. some other global news headlines. european commission president of the left on the line has arrived in keith where she's paid tribute to full and ukrainian soldiers of the world of remembrance. it's a, it's the trip to the ukranian capital with the focus this time on energy security. ukraine says russian strikes have destroyed around 80 percent of its demo plants in you was also promised to $10000000000.00 euros in a full pots of central and eastern europe. hit by severe floods. emergency teams in poland and other countries have been struggling to keep rising floodwaters it by floods across the region have killed at least 24 people to form a us talk. so stop. oprah winfrey has hoisted

a stuff. started campaign event for democratic presidential candidate come law harris, numerous the liberties to, to express the support, including brian cranston, chris rock, jennifer lopez, and oscar winning actress there will stream well, as the election day draws closer into us come a lot higher as has taken. i'm at donald trump for claiming that migrants in the city of springfield, ohio, our leasing peoples, pitts. iris is the form of presidents comments of, of course, designed to divide us as a country. local officials have repeatedly said that there was no evidence for trumps climbed the small city of springfield has still found itself at the center of a firestone with dozens of bomb threats reported the following trumps comments. dw special correspondent 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, 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 their 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 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 patient grocery store, say hey, to me has given new life to the community. because of active participant in the

economy. but then the numbers rose quickly. officials estimate there are no anywhere between 12 and 15000 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 poached, 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 uh, things usually at a ford mostly above all, that is talking about how our city government ignores that conserves in boxes. and

insinuates that our concerns are routed and some sort of misplaced, racially antipathy towards patients. all your ac liam says she's ambivalent about trumps claims that patient migrants are stealing and eating pets, obviously. but at least appreciate that they have drawn national spotlight to an issue he feels has long been ignored, but for the haitian community trumps 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. 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 comments. they've been dozens of bomb threats here in springfield forcing since schools to evacuate for students. the city has also cancel the annual culture.

at 1st go creole. the debacle has had an unexpected twist and 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 com. they want springfield out of the spotlight and on a path to healing dw special correspondent abraham file that report you just for an earlier i off to a how local authorities have been reacting to this site. an intense focus on this cd 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 the 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 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 official 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 my friends, that migrants are doing so. so it's a, it's 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 that, of the polarization that can be seen in so many parts of american society ahead of the selection. yeah, indeed i, let's talk a bit more about springfield, it's got, as i understand it, 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 mean? 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 their 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. um, 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,

a 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 to, you know, new life because it was a city on the decline. but what they say is in that is also something that i've heard from, you know, longstanding 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, you know,

kind of small city in the midwest has, you know, it's, it's sort of like a, a, in a postcard or, and then did an indication of so many debates around immigrations 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 of 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 lic tore it 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 sort of over a overwhelmed, i mean, both the, the, the mayor and the governor of springfield, a,

the mayor of springfield and the governor of the state of ohio. our republicans and they both seemed quite hesitant about receiving the president fearing, 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, i it for him in washington, dc. i thanks a lot for your reporting. just relying canal and to use off to the economic males down the tree, good mass protest. so the 17000000 eligible viruses are preparing to pick a new president for a 5 year 10 ser lincolns. usually voters along religious and ethnic lines spot with the country still facing massive national day and rising inflation. many will be keeping the side of the economy in mind when i bought on saturday. the double use a congress of succeeding reports now from the capital columbus. so good,

i'm the guy and his life shop on the molly used to do pretty well. like now they're struggling, they've spent most of the savings just to make ends meet. i'm can no longer be that they printing business has been hit hard by rising cost of trauma to fuel and electricity in the last 40 years and a half of us. and i had up to 5 employees working for me to get them into the crisis, to orders for printing gradually. and then i had to reduce my stuff. so some of mine when she looked at that i'm what i found all my jewelry because of the cost of leaving me, i am unable to buy it back, so it's owned by the banks. now, my husband does all kinds of work nowadays to look after the family that work includes driving and not to take shots. sometimes even they will have considered before the crisis. one in full sri lankan slip and fall with the the what it bang

says this struggling to afford basic necessities like food medicines and fuse to good nationwide pool tests in 2022. the economy has been bad for a long time just over 2 years. it was 3 lumpkins, protested god, in central colombo, before the president of plea and brought down the government. but they go on to me is still in crisis. i would say the number one issue that was this one, does the politicians, 2nd division is the day they're got instead of going about the communities, that is what i want that going to insure the need of the country is to economy criticality and also stay with it and also people expect the non cut them one cup goldman for the last 2 years. the government has stuck with this plan to stop sri lanka going bankrupt. but it's got in for administer, told us that is still work to do things. oh, okay. but the,

i don't out of the would you kinda expect that to happen if we a stay compared to what you are looking after the poor by letter, but providing them lunch, providing them flip the license, providing them for the occasion for the health. as for less, some, in some cases, free price and russians, his boss, president, run a victim of thing is running into selection, hoping to move in the for the, a veteran of sri lankan politics. his economic policy is closely tied to the i'm if plan. since he's been in charge, inflation has dropped from 70 percent to 5 percent. interest rates have fall in the 2 piece trenton and forward and reserves increased as much as we do. most indeed also faces gleams of protecting cut up the fishes from the previous administration . challenging him is subject for him and that's a, a good politician from a center, spotty. he's pushing for changes to the $2900000000.00 am if be loud games toward

just economic reforms and revamped taxes to reduce the cost of living. but all lies out on a new commodity, somebody who's popularity has village since the protest, his anti corruption message and chrome is of a political overall seems to resonate with waters. one thing systemic change his spot. the also wants to renegotiate the i am. if bill none of the candidates for much attraction for so let me go and show money. molly, we do not feel like bolting for any practice these time. even so the election on saturday will have crucial implications for families like this across the country. this is a quick reminder about top story. israel says it's 5 digits of pounded more than a 100. his ballade tockets in southern labor, not the strikes, came as his bloss lead, blind israel full of the deadly device explosions,

targeting the military. conflicts signed his up next after so frank come, char agreed, he fairly have a great the

conflicts own ukraine is facing another bitter winter as well with russia. and this meant even a without the equipment needed to wait. and my guess this week is kara roodick or ukrainian opposition. i'm the lead of the goals or voice coffee as western lead evaluation over whether care should target russia with long range missiles. she reminds them that they promise support all the way to victory conflict. the nick dw, see the points strong opinions, international perspective,

ukraine's pushing its western allies to allow it to use long range weapons to strike deep in russian territory. a red line for pushing for a risk worth taking. find out on to the point for baby to the point in 60 minutes on the d w. the living you also saw i see 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 tackle the major issues about time? talk about the system, or if there is

a significant risk of human extinction from an s i system series continues d, w. the ukraine is facing another bits a winter as well, with russia, and there's many, many without the equipment needed to win. my guess this week is kara roodick, are you crazy and opposition? m p and lead to of 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 distance is victory. look here rooted, welcome to come pick sometimes.
