the, the light from violin, this is the w. news has block offense. 2 of its command is killed in an inch by the trunk of babe ruth seventies. officials say at least $31.00 people were killed in one of the deadliest the tax on the capital. in decades also coming up post closings for exam because the presidential election, people leave the cash strapped the country out of it was the financial prices as 1000000 struggled to make ends meet the welcome to the show i'm been visible and live. it owns hezbollah has confirmed the

2 of its top command is a dead doctor in his way. the striking babe ruth, lebanese health officials now put the death, told it so if you want your brain, the environment is to condemn the attack is criminal. but said ron is not finding to take to rank revenge against israel. still there a fee is of an old out will between israel and the uranium back temple, which is designated a terrorist group by many countries. alex, i tongue guys founding direct to the run program at the middle east institute in washington. i asked him if the ryan is backing down by saying if wanted to see direct revenge 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. and 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 a taxes we've seen that last week or so. are part of it is ready to plot, if you will, from terrorized perspective, to drive you right into that war. i'm a dragon arriving to a region 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 killing of how much is political chief is male honey, a in tehran, randalls about. what did rob the bal 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, dallas would kind of get 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 resolved and drones against the israel and the coalition of countries came together, aided israel. so i think that you really 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 these are all in the last few weeks despite these is really a tax on them and their allies in the region. and,

and one continue to then see the proxies like hamas and hezbollah. you know, the regular long term strategy and his ball lot is, is even just to give your audience up some historical perspective here. his bottom is essentially created by a run back in 1982. so it's a 40 to 42 year history of sponsorship. it's is the, is the so the jewel in the a rainy and proxy network operations in the, in the region. how much 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, there's 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 rainy region. who believes in our articulates the long term strategy of tiring israel out. but in the meantime, what do you run has to, uh, 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 that's a great question. i'm not sure if the radians know other than what i just said, which is this, oh, 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 a messaging that sort of aimed at the folks in the middle east, they're talking about the reverse jewish migration essentially, that 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 austin is alex, thank you very much for your analysis guys haven't even here on the day that we thank you, how's, of closed accounting has begun entry bank is presidential election. the outcome will determine how the counter you recovers from its worst ever financial crisis in 2022 con presidents for new grimacing is taking a 2nd to but he's phasing strong challenges for the leader of the opposition as well as the monks is low. make a, 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. his hope. the next leader will address the hardships and do it by ordinary people who are facing rising prices and the stair tea meshes redone. that will be below, but 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. okay, i've got a good thing. i'd do it on a country, isn't 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 of the people who leave the, the needs of your 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 was the president to flee the country veteran politician ronald vickers, thomas thing has stepped into that power vacuum. he negotiated rescue alliance with the international monetary fund, but this meant higher taxes, and they'll start to measures off the he costs his ballot. he judge people to

remain peaceful while waiting for the election results. the thousands i'm on 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 rate. i ask everyone to act peacefully. a big promising a face is a challenge from amongst the slow make a nora camara dislike. who this pledge to renegotiate the deals with the i 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 also 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.

let's look at some of the other. so he's making use today. but this is in mexico blew up on me facilities and said fine to a van demanding, just as the missing students of a quite a decade ago. 43 students were abducted from bonuses in southern mexico. still unclear if the students a dead or alive to rachel bains, of triggered flash floods and mud slides in the central japanese region of no till 12 rivers of both. the bags was already saved. one person is missing. there are no reports of major damage. residents of being judge to stay on a look full months slides by jerry a has been preparing for further flooding off the neighboring camera rooms that it would stop releasing water from its launch a stand within 400000 people have ready being affected in nigeria of the heavy rains coast, lots of widespread destruction across the western and central africa. the natural disaster has worse than the humanitarian crisis. and nigeria with violence,

so rate for millions for the alex you don't use at least a to coma is in my degree in northern nigeria, he told me about the situation on the ground as well. the situation right now is that's lucky off of some of the many of these communities the what that is beginning to received about this communities have been kate. very hard talking about damages still property on homes business is included in prescott. so like bridges, roads, buildings, fences and hospitals that we have been going around the city to expect or look at the extent of the damage on people just coming out of it. many people are now going back to the houses to see you on when ever the carrots on you know what it looks very, very bleak because they will ties receiving what this left hand side of much destruction at least of what sort of help of those people getting with i told you about millions who split balance as well as

we speak. uh right. gave me degree in the city there been lots sofa id be, comes out of the set top, come a day to see what we see agencies, agencies on organizations trying to help them to simply think food. but there is not enough to go around in terms of the tents and the shelter. we have people's quotes, even on the roadway just outside of a lot. voc, disabled spot us. and they said it was most industry to people. i feel around in many places trying to, you know, find shut to try to find some, you know, times and there's also to close of food. i mean, i thought you fix the optimize of the disaster because of the what that bundle is as really affect that is, you know, these communities because we have places like the hospitals you know, really established with was that dirty? what else? that'd be cd and i'll be glad to see the outside picked up a that's damage and the floods have had a number of countries. how prepared would you say the region has been full such a disaster? well, from the look of things that not very well,

particularly when you look at them, i do agree, but new states that precisely because of the damned bus cost, the flooding alongside the very, very heavy dimensional weight fall as a witness. so of which he did with the flood waters, a manual state i thought is, may not have really done enough. don't forget, this is a ne of nigeria at states and the 6 of which was almost about city. i was away from places like side of the board as we come through and i need from the general public right here and is growing it. have those board as i'm just saying that we're having situations of, of uh, floods inside i need some areas of need a, i didn't even know than a comment on so many will say not many as well. not really much has been done by hard to think if i didn't discuss that because it's the worst lot in the theme in about 3 decades to hold on with the ladies them pointing from like, well, we thank you. a new zealand has been released from revel captivity in indonesia is popular province. philip met and it was working as

a pilot. 20 was taken by the insurgent, west palm for liberation. on a, despite the 19 month old deal, officials say he's well tears of joy and disbelief. pilot philip americans can now finally talk to his loved ones, surrounded by indonesian police officers who were involved in his release. because the title in general, pilot madison's health is good to put up. oh there's some time ago he was suffering from asthma, but not his condition. and faith he had spent 19 months and kept cvt who was taken hostage by rebels. they need to need his wrist if pop or region after he landed a small passenger plane in the airport to do got until now the only opportunity his family had to see him were video messages like this one, the rest of the family. i love you very much to please turn off to worry too much about and i will say will be strong and patient. and i hope that we can be together

very similar to the group that kept him hostage is fighting for pauses. independence from indonesia is set a number of terms. so his release, including the suspension of military operations against them. those involved say the talks to get him out were not easy. the day that it was the racking holiday i live in, not getting to credit when nothing really that might entail the chances. because there's always a concern of us that we might not succeed. officials say, despite his decent health, the cafeteria too, took a toll on merton's and his family. with all asking for privacy. at this emotional time. and unusually heavy snowfall has disrupted traffic in south africa. emergency services had to help stranded motorists on spending the night in the vehicles. the motorway linking to had its bets the east coast city of dub and was

one of the was the fact that some south africans not used to seeing snow traveled several hours to see the rare event forecast is predicting most a full in some areas of the country and coming up supports like follows the current speed waiting, stuffing, well rankel hold up for her and the living independently rise to society is full of contrasts and inequality is a big challenge. many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend as in this leaving what is home how do we talk of the major issues about time to because there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems.
