the, the live from the, this is the w news as well that i can funds to love its command is killed. and that is why the strength on facebook liberties, officials say at least the he, one people were killed in one of the deadliest attacks on the capital in decades. also coming off holes close injury then cause presidential election. people leave the cash strapped country out of its worst of a financial crisis as millions struggled to make ends, making unix prevalence race to school. the best things that they see is october, 5th, 6000000 visitors are expected. security is tied up for a spring of extremist attacks in germany. the

i've been visible in welcome, beloved owns his blog, has confirmed the 2 of its top command as a day down for in his way the strike on a route, lebanese health officials now for the death toll for the strike. and so he want including 3 children, uranium farm, it is the condemned to the attack as criminal, etc run is not planning to take direct revenge against the as well as practiced by you. he is of an old out will between israel and the a rainy and back to his blog, which is designated a terrorist work by many countries. alex town, okay, is founding director of the run program at the middle east institute in washington . so around. so taking direct revenge for this latest strike on a route, is that a sign that iran is backing down? or i wouldn't say necessarily,

they're backing down. but i think if you go back and look at the last, almost a year since the october 7th attacked by a mass on israel. and these really response an invasion of gaza with the reading position has being, is to avoid essentially 2 things, original war. add to make sure that certainly arrived doesn't get sucked into such a war. so i think that's the right position as of today. i think the res, seem to believe that these is really of taxes. we've seen that last week or so. are part of it is ready to plot, if you will, from, to arise perspective, to drive you right into that war by dragging it right into origin war, the radiance via the americans will into that more. and that is certainly not something that iran is interested in seeing happen after the telling of how much this political chief is male honey, a in tehran randalls about. what did raw the bound retaliation against these rabbits so far? hadn't um, taken action is around preparing in some way for,

for something else. well that's, that's what they're say. they're saying that the revenge will be coming, but they will uh, pick the time and the location for that revenge. uh, as you said, that was with i need to back in july and then that you've had, you know, the tags in elaborate on that, that also included the reading and pass it or it to be would be injured. look, the radians have ways of hitting israel. but again, from their point of view is, is it worth it is, is a regional war right now worth it. because they really is a very conscious of the fact that digital to had spreads. as we saw that earlier this year when he ran fido's ms. austin, drones against the israel. and the coalition of countries came together, aided israel. so i think that you really and bottom line right now is that time is on their side and the israel is the one that essentially from your last point of view, certainly is digging its own grade by losing international public opinion. let these

raiders keep doing it and don't get a ride into a war right now. because right now the war on a regional, a proportions would not favor you. right? and i think that is essentially why you haven't seen it. kinetic. that means minucci radiate action against israel and the last few weeks despite these is really a tax on them and their allies in the region and, and what continue to then see the proxies like hamas and hezbollah. and you know, the regular long term strategy. i know his bola is, is human just to give your audience up some historical perspective here. his bottom is this section created by ryan back in 1982. so it's a 40 to 42 year history of sponsorship. it's is the, is the end of june, and the iranian proxy network operations in the, in the region how mazda is an organization that iran has had a working relationship on at all for about 30 years. these are long term deep

investments that a ride has made as part of a long term strategy of a subject, essentially bleeding israel to a point where they did really state. and then i know this sounds sort of almost as if it's coming from fantasy lot. but that is the position of the range is a premium to at least dominate probably the most anti israel voice you can find in the range and region who believes in our articulates the long term strategy of tiring israel out. but in the meantime, what do you write it has to, you know, avoid is to get, in a sense, gets it, it's all sucked into a regional more. oh, what does around then actually one to ultimately, from this complex a that's a great question. i'm not sure if the radians know other than what i just said, which is this, this notion that israel's not going to have lift to be a 100 years old. that, you know, the country will essentially cease to exist if you listen to rainy regime uh,

a messaging that sort of aimed at the folks in the middle east. they're talking about the reverse jewish migration. essentially. the people that came from around the world to decide to, to go home again. essentially, i think that as a said to see line, but that's the reading position. they don't seem to have a credible solution for a uh, for a long term political uh you know, and ending up this conflict in, in between israel and the palestinians. alex, thank you very much for your analysis. great having in here and see that we thank you both of closed and counting has begun in sri lanka is presidential election. the outcome will determine how the country becomes from it's worse. they have a financial crisis in 2022 current president and the other week, soon ringing this week next week. rather, the thing is, all right, it's taking a 2nd time, but he's facing strong challenges from the leader of the opposition as well as a marxist little make. a straight line comes advising for the next precedence. as

the country slightly recovers from an economic crisis but has lost it is some votes as hope. the next leader will address the hardships enjoyed by ordinary people who are facing rising prices and the standards he mentions redone that allows people of what we expect to get some sort of relief by voting. even food prices can do we do saturday. maybe this person can be our president, we've got got a good thing, i'd do it all on a country, is in a severe economic down sir. and we hope that the new leadership will be able to overcome the hardships and benefit the people who become. i think they have to think about the country and the people who lives here. the whole soldiers and police officers got hurtling stations. a reminder of the civil unrest and political up people in 2022

cents when months of mass protests over economic collapse and political corruption pulls the president to flee. the country veteran politician ronald vick from a single step 10 to that power back to you. he negotiated rescue alliance with the international monetary fund, but this meant higher taxes, and they'll start to mattias. off the he costs his ballot. he judge people to remain peaceful while waiting for the election results with the valid done something wrong. the people must now decide on the future. i see if that instability was still here that we would not have been able to vote. and you didn't tell us that. would that be mean we maintain peace during this election campaign period. i almost everyone to act peacefully and it's a big promising a face as a child. and from amongst a slow makeup, a nora camara dislike to this pledge to renegotiate the deals with the m. s. heeds

confidence, a victory my. but i mean, i think this is the most important election in sterling because history, people not voting with enthusiasm. we asked everyone to be peaceful after our victory. whoever wins more than 50 percent of the votes and this selection will decide how sri lankan navigates its fragile recovery. the 100 and 89th edition of the october fast is officially underway and munich, dressed in traditional barbarian outfits. hundreds of people rise to nap. the best tables, best given ease, kicked into full swing as the mayor of munich, tap the 1st b a cake and filled the 1st glass. the cries of some to anything. it's to security is tied to the 2 week festival after a recent space of attacks across germany, attributed to extremist. the munich slowed me is the 1st person to enjoy your

knives band at the festival in violators might value will end up in the present sales on location. and for those enjoying the traditional votes, checking in one of the large b attends. it is illegal to take nights and folks outside the temporarily need security is on the alert. do you have any guns, guns we have great security that has been working for us for decades? and then now even more focused on this issue, because people have always tried to take o bellmarks. that's why we have the band mach checks in front of the tent, and they're taking care of this problem as well. and that's based on the most bags and backpacks of band. anyway, the app was few among the october 1st businesses relaxed we have, we have no security concerns with trust to munich police, a sentiment sent by the tourist that has come to munich for some sightseeing and a visit to the top of that. we've heard it's very safe. we've heard that many precautions are taken and we're looking forward to having

a good time. we have done lots in this country so we feel safe for in germany, frankly. yeah. finding fit, i guess you just kind of assume that security has just improved and improved the 5th thing to assume off the whole. this is the 118 9th, october 5th and unix message to the world. as we made the same over the years. we loved having you that report by 7000 i know who joins us now from the outside. the fest live it considering the security measures. what is the mood like the mode is absolutely fabulous. it is very relaxed. it is very effective in security. actually it's very several people have been lining up patiently here in the morning in the afternoon because controls at the end does take a little bit longer. um, but uh it is just a very nice festival. we have a beautiful weather. the mayor was very successful with only 22 tabs page or 2

it is not an expensive fuel. prices have risen to an average of 15. yours for a leader off there. and that is the very all most economic indicator. um, but uh uh, generally speaking, uh um, this is what we will see a lot of fund, a lot of people coming from all over the world and enjoying themselves. and hopefully a lot more little who including you where use you called me right there. so i live in a little bavarian village and i'm not but they are. yeah. and the farmers they have is intimidating. look if i put them on so i was like, don't do that. yeah. but i was wrong if you want to get on the wrong side of anyone, especially one with a be a coke and i had 7 by the time of the for us at the all type of as low to have lots of fun. my pleasure. thank you. and coming up on dw, we follow a filmmaker from iran trying to process his childhood trauma, ive been presume, and i'll be back with mobile dues. next down here with the w by
