the, the, this is dw use lie from berlin, blackburn on says more is ready, bombs targeting has fall, i have killed nearly 500 people, thousands in lab, and on leave their homes to escape the air strikes. israel says has fallen medicines or hiding weapons and civilian isaac, also coming up at least 7 people are dead after record rains on least floating and lots slides in central japan. the region is still recovering from an earthquake that struck earlier this year. the

unpopular fatality as welcome to the program. israel says it has struck more than a 1000, has bought a target to enliven on including strikes in the capital bay route. lebanon says nearly 500 people have been killed. sizes have fled their homes in southern lebanon to escape the bombardment. the west is sending more troops to the region as the conflict escalates. and is really war plain, takes off a striking targets and 11 on as its campaign against has below widens. israel says around $1300.00 targets we're hit. cubic uses the militants of hiding long range rockets in civilian homes and aims to destroy their capabilities. israel is warning residents in lebanon, south and east to leave areas where they say the weapons are stored. but human

rights watch says civilians can be expected to know the locations. roads are jammed as people flee 1st day for ground. there were strikes in the south, so we came here and we don't know what's left behind. i swear we don't know what's happening. god willing, we will be back. tell netanyahu we will return. israel's prime minister issued this message to the people of levin is rose. moore is not with you. this with his bottle, for too long, as well as been using you as human shields. it place rockets in your living rooms, and this is in your garage. those rockets and missiles are writing directly at our cities directly at our citizens to defend our people against as well as strikes. we must take out those weapons. as zillow says, it launched dozens of rockets towards military bases in northern israel,

including the port city of haifa, residents, there are divided over israel's air strikes. we need to end the swell. nothing's felt in other one most. i'm very happy that we're finally retaliated. so the government is showing us the care my in aren't offending us under attack, and we're finally fighting back. maybe it will help to lead us to the end of this k i saw from. so israel says it will stop only when it's residents can return to northern border areas which were evacuated. has the allies of her mouth say they won't stop cross border attacks until there's a ceasefire in gazda. both i've been designated as care organizations by several nations. fears of an all out conflict are growing as 11 on march the deadliest day since the 2 sides went to war in 2006. so after 1300 hezbollah targets

hit and almost 500 people, including 35 children killed. what is israel's go? i forgot to brian, come to us at the middle east institute in washington dc. i think israel's goal is to try to restore a sense of strategic deterrence against hezbollah and some of the other forces it faces in the region. and that's a pretty tall order. given the nature of his ballade to chairs, the organization, it has a very sophisticated militia. i think israel's exacted a pretty high cost in taking out some of the leaders and the commanding control and communications capabilities. but this is a very sophisticated force, and this could be a very long spike. so we'll see what comes next and how has block choose this to retaliate as house on the throne. the leader of hezbollah was threatened, they would find, is this essentially the beginning of an all that war between israel and test bar, or it's anyone's guess. if it's an

o at where it's going to be very costly for the people in the lab and on and not just has a lot. if you look at the record in 2006 and that was devastating for, for, for lab and on. and has as blessed to exist here, we are almost 1520 years later. so i wouldn't, you know, with this thing that i am focused on it as well as 2 other actors including iran, which has been quite quiet since it's episode in april when it fired ballistic missiles and, and drugs into israel unsuccessfully. so there's a lot going on and today's middle east and israel's trying to, i think, restore some some sense of deterrence against his adversaries. but i think it's a really difficult task given that it's not just as the lot today. it's also how my still that exists in gaza and there's a range of other militias including the flu season, young and that fire on israel almost on a daily basis is,

has paula still actually in a position though to respond to militarily, to these attacks, to any significant extent. that's the question. i think a lot of people are asking after these stunning attacks using the papers and the 2 way radios last week and then the elimination of some of hospitalized tar commanders. so i think uh well, well know the answer to that. i think it's anyone's guess. it depends on how deeply imbedded some up some of the leaders who still exist. they are underground. i've seen some of the tunnels that hezbollah itself has dug in across the border from northern israel. i've been through them, so there's a lot of sophisticated military hardware that has the law has as well. but we, we really don't know at this early stage of attacks just today, killing more than 500 people. we don't have the full damage assessment to know. and i think actions will really tell us and reactions from the husband. i will tell us,

with some clarity about what their capabilities are in the next few days for us, for you in the us, because at washington, a site it's against a ground invasion. president biden has said the us is the quote working to de escalate. do you think israel will listen? it doesn't seem like they will. israel's responding to 2 main things, the security conditions, their citizens face and the region, and also the pressures that israel is put under government on these various runs. and i think there's a deep concern about this war of attrition that israel's facing for multiple front . and i think a defined administration in the united states looks a lot like a bystander here, 2 events, even though it is a largest security guarantor and qual, uh, partner of israel. it hasn't seemed to be able to shape israel's actions either in this theater or in the cause of war in a meaningful way. and that's a positive to

a lot of people, a lot of observers. but i think the answer that poses, essentially israel's responding to a lot of what its own citizens want, which is a sense of security and calm. the current is really government has stated that it wants it's citizens that have been displaced from the north to be able to go back and put it in safety and security. so those, those dynamics, we think, override any sort of dialogue or pressure that comes from the outside, including from the united states. that was that brian could to us from at least institute. so let's take a look at some more stories making headlines. guys, as homeless around the health industry says the latest is really airstrikes and the center of the territory of killed at least 8 people, including 5 children separate strikes at homes and the school sheltering displaced people. israel's military says it was targeting a homeless command center us prosecutors are seeking to charge him on accused of lurking with a gun near donald trump's golf club in florida with attempted assassination. among their evidence is a note, the suspect had written,

suggesting that he planned the attack a charge like that would carry a maximum possible penalty of life imprisonment to forward as a former bolivian president. evelyn morales of clashed with police in the capital of half. what alice has given his successor, the current president and we've out of the 24 hours to change his cabinet. he wants him to remove corrupt politicians and unblock has passed to run again for the presidency slash living his age, parts of britain after sumeria. so more than a months worth of rainfall in 24 hours, the deluge shut down a motorway and some schools in the county of bedford, sure stuff. a chair and london also experienced travel disruptions and property damage ukraine's president for a lot of years, it has keys in the us to present what he calls a victory plan to president joe biden. and presidential hopefuls campbell harris and donald trump in pennsylvania is an ascii tours and munitions factory that

produces artillery shells tank the workers there and told them ukraine each more of what they make. savanski and the state governor also signed some of the shells. jenny mothers is an expert on russian politics at our east with university in wales . earlier we asked her, why is it lansky has chosen to name it a victory rather than piece plan? i think it's very important for zalinski to shift the narrative and to shift the way that his, his supporters in the west, particularly in united states. think about how this for my hand. and he wants to make it really clear that ukraine is capable of being successful, is capable of driving russian aggressors out of ukrainian territory. and not simply willing to accept some sort of only compromise which might leave large parts of ukrainian territory in russia's hands may be indefinitely. so i think the choice of

the language is really significant for the message that he wants to get across a rescue. where is a racing to locate the potential survivors after record rainfall, unleashed severe flooding and loved slides in central japan over the weekends. at least 7 people have been killed. now after heavy rains the river on the noto peninsula had burst. it's banks sweeping away homes and forcing residents to flee to safety. the region is still recovering from a powerful earthquake in january. the killed at least 236 people. sonya glasgow is a journalist based in tokyo. she gave me this update on the situation on the note co payments and well, the notes of an incident has really been his heart by reins the next place. it only happened once in a 100 years. and so it's really hard to imagine what people must be going through there. at this moment. a river has overflowed bands,

houses swept away by the floods, and uh, people are still searching for about 5 to 6 people missing among them, a teenage girl. so the situation is really quite so difficult at this stage and the reason that was already hit by is us of this year. yeah, exactly. this region was hate at earlier this year with the mass of earth quite so high was a coping and not sense where it was. was there still a lot of that work to be doing there? a yes and actually is hips uh the, the next is also so to speak to the workers that were just trying to fix the tunnel . so a few people were actually affected by the rain there. 2 people died, others were rescued. and um, also people who had just moved into temporary housing were effective as well. they said, you know, we just moved here 10 days ago and now the river has overflowed everything and, and we don't know what to do. where can we go next?

and it's also really affected people's morales, you know, they're just really kind of come to terms with okay, we have to rebuild. so we're gonna try it and get our lives together here. and now the strong rains have really damaged areas. again, damage more areas. and people really said, you know, one person said, does this mean that we're not supposed to live here? so there's really like some desperation in this area. i understand. yeah, it certainly sounds like it's sonya, how much is japan doing to prepare for extreme weather? fueled by climate change is depend, has seemed a little more extreme weather than reason and use. i'd say lance lies are unfortunately very, very common. i mean, japan is also a very mountainous country, and this year they've started to, to think a bit more specifically about what to do, how to implement a green strategy, so to speak, to speaking of a green transformation that wants to be net 0 by 2050 and also reduce

carbon emissions. 5 to 6 percent by 2030. they're on the way. they're also trying, i think him, at least on a very visible level um to implement the sustainable development goals by the united nations. so there is more awareness and, and that's quite something in the country that doesn't have a green part to you for example. and will, can see that they are taking things more seriously. yeah, certainly uh a difficult time for the people there in a on the know tow peninsula. sonya thanks so much for bringing this up today. eastern list sonya of alaska joining us from the japanese capital tokyo. here's a reminder of our top story. this our a thousands of flat their homes at 11 on says nearly 500 people have been killed as israel cars or strikes against the minutes and hundreds more
