the, the, this is the w use my from brother in israel, bumbled self 11 on israel's ministry, says it's as strikes of faith, a 100 as bella rocket launches us as well as lead to promises retribution for the deadly device blast which targeted the groups operatives. also on the program, the commission president promises ukraine loans that up to 35000000000 euros to help rebuild devastated energy infrastructure will bring you the latest from keep the climate protests take place here in the and then i'm more than a 100 cities around the world as part of a global day of action,

the feel good here. welcome to the program. we begin in southern lebanon, where israel says it's 5 subjects have pounded more than a 100 has bought targets. god, yes. as it hit rocket launches and weapons facilities and traded blows. with has block across the board on thursday is riley strikes, happens as has been as lead up blamed israel for the deadly device explosions which targeted the medicine group, which is considered the terrorist organization by many countries. a night of air strikes in southern lab and on 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 hezbollah leader has and 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 hezbollah to explode as well. so you as yes, he said this will be confronted with a severe reckoning and adjust retribution and 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 is real, 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 nose back to their homes. as time goes by, has spun that will pay an increase in price for the, for the global, but death threats. and these latest is riley 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. let's pick up some of those points. we have an interesting around who is a visiting fellow. they mentally center at the london school of economics. welcome to the w, should we see the reason the device explosions, followed by these intensified is riley ad or texas pre causes to something larger. so well, it's important to stress you that we don't know what the most policies are planning to do next. so has well as the, the has in this role as that you weren't going to details with the details of the potential retaliation attack. we know israel has set,

they have changed their approach to south lebanon. mentioned y'all who has told almost folks on the us and void that. and they will see a radical change in the approach to hispaniola. but we don't know yet what they're preparing for. we know they have relocated and elite the mission from casa to northern weapon on a, sorry, northern israel. and that might be a sign that, that prepaying for granted ration. but again, we don't know what these really plans all yet. i spoke about the, the device drives, we have the pages and then the, the walkie talkies white launched. those device strikes. now well, the different theories as to why these devices have been loans. but what we can say now it's that is a major blow to his bullet. it is an embarrassment because it does reveal some severe weaknesses in that communications infrastructure. that cited might also be a preparation for launch is brady attack. the details of which we don't know yet, so we will have to wait and see in the coming days. what of the purpose of this

explosion of communication devices really was and help us to understand what's going on here we came here to beside the of each side is trying to raise the stakes without the situation flattering into on i will. so just so we are seeing a major escalation, it's a conflict now and you are right in saying the 1st parties since the start to come 6 have been saying they want to avoid. and the level which might potentially spread to them at least a lot. what we're seeing now is there is a change in these really rhetoric we've heard is ready officials saying that they no longer believe in the domestic solution to the conflict in the pool, the area between 11 on israel. so what we might see now is that these really is all preparing to use a ministry operation to force his pulled away from the food area and paved the way for return of this 6 is that have been evacuated from the within. this real does not sound like a practical solution. you probably already made out of an area when presumably if i

wouldn't go that far and put your own people in that that doesn't sound like well it doesn't sound like anyone, even if it was, it doesn't sound like anyone's gonna get much sleep as well. it is an extremely dangerous time for them, at least, and especially for, by slipping on. and this rule. we know that has been that we've been the last 20 years, has been built in extremely, as well as military capabilities that will enable them to cause a quite a severe damage on these ready ministry. and we know that less than on the, on the other hand, is in a situation where the country has been in a devastating economic crisis for 5 years now. and will not be able potentially to withstand even the last on the wait that that might result from the why the conflict. so yes, it is dangerous, dangerous situation, both countries. but what we hear is really official saying now, is that the mot not in the have you be another solution? of course the international community keeps putting pressure on both israel and 11

on to engage in diplomatic negotiations. a to fund diplomatic solution to the conflict in the food area. but again, these are dangerous times and we are closer to the potential scenario of the logical between israel and his building. now then we've been at any point in this conflict, just booming out sliding. what sort of reactions are you expecting from the other regional plants like iran or syria swell? that is difficult to say. obviously, yvonne has not retaliate. his full destroy contained it on, on the 1st of august, yet the order to have promised to conduct to retaliation attack. so it's, it's hard to say how iran and syria and, and other players within the excess of resistance will react to this. but that has been a token that has been speculations about whether an extended war and extended conflict will also be an increased involvement of different militias connected to yvonne from both syria, iraq and also from the m and a. so this is

a scenario that we cannot exclude, and that 11 on a potentially is also preparing for alongside israel, of course. okay, thank you for talking through that. i'm christine, drawn from the london school of economics. thank you so much. thank you. from one conflict to another european commission, president joseph on the line says that you will lend ukraine up to 35000000000 yours. she was speaking during the 8th trip to k, where she's been holding towards with president as the landscape. the commission president attended the world of remembrance to pay tribute to form and ukrainian soldiers. she went on to meet your crimes, that 1st responders who are dealing with increasing russian attacks on power stations. are you crying? says rush has been targeting its energy supply as disabled around 80 percent of its federal plants. after the meeting f on the line, i promised ukraine europe support visit comes at a crucial time. winter is approaching and russia keeps targeting your

civilian energy infrastructure. in the blatant and vicious way to try and plunge your country in the dark. and i could see this morning when i visited one of your invincible points. how determined the ukrainians ought to make sure that this does not happen. i'm here today, do you have a lot of me a to tell you and to tell the people of ukraine that the european union is here to help you with this challenge? to keep the lights on to keep your people warm as winter's just around the corner and to keep your economy going as you fight for your survival. but of course, bolden kindly that you more i attended that joint press conference between the commission president and then you, craig, and present, to joins us not from key. welcome, catalina, what else did we learn from the 2 leaders?

well feel um one of the main reasons why we just heard it in that sound bite. why missed funder lion is hearing to you? of is to give that promise to ukraine, that they will help them restore those 80 percent that have been destroyed in their power grid here. and ukraine. she also said by the european union, the aims to cover 25 percent of, of all the energy needs assessment that ukraine will have this winter. and for that, we have to consider not only that, 80 percent of the energy grid has been destroyed by russia, but that in the only 2 weeks people will start to heat their homes because the winter is coming. that was one of the main announcements. but there is more, right, i did present zalinski seemed happy with what a seal of on the line came down offering. or he was certainly happy because one of the other announcements failed is that the european

union will lend 35000000000 of us to ukraine. and it was that i found that i and said that it will be up to ukraine to decide how that you will use this money as a lens can reply to during that press conference, saying that they will certainly use it at to build weapons. but also to be shelters and to restore that power. great, because that is a main concern of ukraine for this winter. now it's very important to explain where the 35000000 euros come from. and this comes. a from a frozen russian assets that has been in the g 7 nation. so a couple of months ago, o d 7 nations decided that they will use this frozen assets from russia to help and to support ukraine. and this makes a total of around $300000000000.00. and out of that, if it's $35000000000.00 euros will now be delivered to ukraine for them to decide what to do with it right now,

because it is an ice here. urgent need wants to use longer range and ms file supplied by western partners to strike id for inside russia. i was not raised at today's talks of the now was the lie in the and president zalinski a been to. * about the long range missiles, although you're right, this is one of the main issues that we have been hearing also hearing kids and one of the main things that president zalinski and his team are asking for. we do know though that president presenting savanski has a victory plan and he wants to present this victory plan during the general assembly in new york that will start in 4 days on september 24th m and t. certainly a mention something during the present press conference. he said that in order to get this victory plan done the after, he speaks about it with president 5 and i met some uh, western partners will have to make very important decisions. and he probably meant

with that of the discussion around the long range weapons fail. okay, thanks for that kind of kind of thing that you more in keith or a volkswagen age drummond is the largest employer out worldwide that it may be on the verge of making huge cuts as far as recent reports from german comic because it shows signs of trouble caused by slumping sales. the site is bands and bmw who have lowered the outlook following low as an expected demand. the w denied a recent report that it was planning to lie off up to $30000.00 employees at the quarter. i'm. it's jim and workforce with the company says it has to reduce its costs somehow. going economy, minnesota robot, how back says he wants to help the college. i get through these rough touch with upside closures. but volkswagen is ultimately responsible for its own structure and viability. see if we can find out what's going on with laws, how to from dw zip business desk, welcome loss. so what,

so the root of these problems, i felt well to say that one word is china, china used to be the strongest call market in the world. and specifically, some of the german carmakers were banking fully on a china and especially folks log in. they actually got about a 3rd of their sales, a 3rd of their revenue from china. so they had a full bed on china and that went very well for a number of years. but over the last couple of years, china has the weekends in terms of the car market there we have initially with realistic prices turned into a bigger economic crisis. so, so people are not spending that much and even more important just domestic competition. now the chinese have invested in their own car sector. so german carmakers are doing a lot worse. there. combination though, is a key jim and industry at the end. is the government likely to get involved? yes, the government has already involved itself just to de just earlier this morning. well that,

how big the comic minister we have since just referred to here was that the volkswagen plant in northern germany in the town of and then, and he said he wants to get involved to a point where he hopes that i want to of a statement here he says he wants to avoid side closures, and he hopes that personal policy measures would remain within the normal collective bargaining framework. so he says at the same time that obviously it's going to be up to volkswagen. what they do there must be cost cuts of some sort. he has called for an auto summit of car summit on monday, and he says, the government can obviously only set the framework. however, the framework of course, can be highly important. for example, if the german government would decide to once again subsidize. so intensive eyes purchases of electric vehicles so. so that would be a big blowing for the industry. is this, is it just a german problems? it's just a vw problem, but does it go wide? and it's definitely going wider because of the car makers have show a weakness to and much of it has to do with china. however,

looking at the european sector, it is terrible enough with a china situation, but they do have another problem now too because the car market here, especially for electric vehicles, is not doing very well. and now that is leading to an interesting conundrum. here. brussels has of course, very strict emissions regulations. they set emission limits for the average car that a car make a sell so. so that's interesting. in terms of the product mix, the over the last couple of months, electric car sales have gone really down the others combustion still strong. so that kind of skews that whole thing. and now some of these carmakers could be fine . billions of euro's because they not make it within those regulated limits. so they're asking brussels now to loosen their regulation. otherwise, it would not only be expensive, but this thing that would be more job cuts if they lose mit billions. and that would also be money. they could not invest in further research into of course, alternative technologies. ok,

thank you for that last last. how that from dw business and have a quick look now at some of the stories that making headlines, a former hired zone in the home. it i'll fired has been described as a months to binds lawyers representing his alleged victims, bbc investigation last week, and reveal that to more than 20 women have said that was sexually assaulted by him when they worked. as he's luxury and london department store is real fired at died last year and gathering capital through the past has been preparing for the most severe flooding. and over a decade was levels of the for down, you've been rising steadily, flooding the keys that expect it to peak on saturday. troops, emergency services and volunteers are constructing, make shift dams in nearby here to portugal, where we'll start to cite the most dangerous funds in the notes in the country have been extinguished. this follows a week in which the deadly places of ravaged lives and homes. and for many,

the funds will have a lasting impact, even if the worst is over. for now, 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 been deployed to bring them under control. the cruise we're facing conditions which were not in their favor. what is supposed to be dealt with? 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 the minimize the man. 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 unfortunately, we have a lot of firefighters who came early in the morning and we hope it's over whether you go to some light coming up. rookie, all the improving weather conditions means the fires have now started to ease. they

have already let to the closure of doris spots, including this bridge in the north. authorities has now begun assessing the damage . as i say, season is some of the directions like the firewall walkways has been badly hit. the extent of the damage is greater than we had initially. part is you ask you to release, you all may have to put a views on the golf monitors wanting of the scale of the damage could have lasting impact, many lost their homes and livelihoods. why fi as in, bought to go have become more frequent in recent years? and scientists say this has been largely driven by climate change. a climate protests are taking place in more than a 100 cities around the world as part of a global day of action. every violent demonstrate is right inside the gym, and chancellor, a calling for more to be done to fight the climate crisis. cities and towns across

the country holding their own protests for the number of people taking substrates this down on previous years. was global climate strike has been organized by the youth, lead fridays for a future movement of data. so today is a spokes person. welcome to d, w at diet. i'm. let's start with numbers 1st what, why are you a people taking to the streets in the name of your cause these days? hello. yeah, um, so we're seeing the, the effects of the climate prices. we had the floods in europe in our neighbor countries right now. and at the same time, the german government refuses to invest in the pond, climate, climate measures, and take the necessary appropriate climate action. and we've in mind that

the german government takes responsibility instead of keeping funding the fossil fuel industry. that's what they actually do with them. ok, i'm, but my question was about numbers, while few of people attempting to protest sorry, can you repeat the question? why a few of people attending your protests while we're still organizing protests with hundreds of thousands of people in germany alone. so i would say, and they're also surveys proving that the majority of the german society takes the climate crisis seriously. and they see they're aware of the danger that it had that it brings, and they also support more climate action. so what we need right now is political leaders that also take these actions and act appropriately. and that's

what we keep demanding. that's why we're standing here today with hundreds and thousands of people again, right in front of the chancellor's office. and i think that's what it needs and you have that. but if a number is attending your protests or any indication, see what people can, what you've just said, sounds completely wrong. if we are guided by the numbers attending a while, of course we have several, a crisis that are happening at the same time. people are overwhelmed. many people are worried because they because everything keeps getting more expensive and people don't know how to parents pay their bill. so of course, they might feel overwhelmed and not be able to attend every protest. however, the most important thing is that we have the awareness in society. and again, we have these surveys that prove that people actually support our demands. and as

long as we're still able to organize the big pro tasks with these numbers that we have today, i think that's totally enough to prove that there is a huge part of the majority of this. aside in the months the government meant to ask if it's true, what you said, but people support your demands, why then have government failed to act? can you sorry, can you repeat the question? you said that people support your demands. if that's true, why haven't governments taken stronger action? um, well, we have achieved certain goals. for example, the federal constitutional court has approved our claim that the government, the governments time its actions are not enough. and they actually demand that the government a few years ago to take more actions against climate prices. we've also seen

that happening. so the government actually implemented a few more laws, stricter goals. and we also achieve that actually every political party has to talk about the climate crisis. sorta has been a lot of cheap. unfortunately though, the priorities of the government all still rather focused on the industry, there's still funding the fossil fuel industries, huge companies. and that is the wrong priority, what they need to prioritize now in order to the sites of climate crisis, is to invest in public transport in education and social balances, right. and also to very tight is against us to be great. just world leaders are expected to attend to you and somebody's on the future of the planet in new york on monday. what would be your message to them? to?

sorry, can you repeat it again? what is your message to world latest attending monday is that climate conference in new york? well, we already had the conference in 2015 to paris climate agreement and many, many countries and world leaders and agreed to dad's parents climate agreement and to reduce it to cocked emissions. and they're now believes to do that. and we just want to remind them that this is their responsibility as were leaders. this is why what they are voted for it and we, our whole lives are at stake. so we see that the, the dramatic consequences and the floods and the drugs. and it's really, really necessary to take some action now interfere prioritize people's lives over it's nomic gross and companies. okay, thank you so much for joining us. that as a 2 day from fridays for future. this is
