the, the, this is due to be news live from berlin is real single is a possible ground assault and 11 not. there's no let up in air strikes is a top commander says the military is preparing for a ground defensive across the border. strikes have killed hundreds of civilians and displaced tens of thousands. also in our program, lot of its lensky tells world leaders that only a battlefield victory for ukraine can in the world with russia. increase president also warns that the kremlin plans to attack his country's nuclear power plants, the

obviously usually invalid. welcome to our program. israel's top army commander has put troops on alert for possible ground assault, and 11 on hundreds of people have been killed in his really bombardments and united nations, says 90000 people in southern lebanon have been displaced since monday has blown, has. meanwhile, lots launched its deepest right into is really yet built in group targeted the headquarters of the is really intelligence agency most sought in tel aviv dawn's peace. we shuddered by sirens. this is randy and defenses. intercepted it has bottom is uh little bit. tel aviv is the 1st time since the dodge of the war and gaza, that the group has tried to attack deeper into israel, like we used to with that comes from the south or the know it doesn't make a rock and i'll still rock and they just the frightening stressful and unplugged and i don't think anyone and this will, would like to live like this. and we'll take the kids and see to anticipate these

really on forces. said that intercepted several other projects. i was fired from lab and on low. so made it through the, like, here in the northern city, a so fed with buildings were damaged in lebanon. it was a different story. after these really military launch, fresh air strikes against what it described as hezbollah target's. these really armies us as well as hiding weapons within the civilian infrastructure. attacks, also hit villages like this $125.00, killing me just north of may rouge vol, from the around box malicious traditional, strong holes. lebanese authorities say there are casualties. the un says more than 90000 people have been displaced since monday. thousands of ended up here in bay roads with many funding shelter in schools like this one. so i'm here old enough to have them pleasant memories of the last conflict between 11 and an israel in 2006. good. they've had a dummy oh, i witnessed. could you live on?

we would definitely get light but not live these day or not, but i, we suffered and we were displaced onto the streets. and we also faced that in 2006 . but now the situation is my target. i like how did, despite the tags, back in southern lebanon and others are determined to stay puts and to continue their day to day lives. like here in the city of tire. to people who flatter from rural areas. there is nothing here. we won't leave. as you see, i'm selling vegetables and fruits and people are buying unhappy. we won't leave this island. we are the rightful owners. even have some heads of 3 to protect our children and family members. some have to stay in the town. so the enemy does not think that the tendency with these really military giving no indication of when it's ariel bump, bump, and might end and hezbollah showing no sign of stopping its own attacks calls for

the escalation by the international community seems to be going on, answered a u. s. has added to those costs for de escalation with the white house statements, urging an immediate cease fire between lebanon and israel to allow for diplomatic ends of the conflict. the joint statement also endorsed by the european union, germany, france, u. k and others calls for a 21 day cease fire us and its allies say the pause in fighting would give a real chance for a diplomatic settlement, allowing civilians to safely return to their homes on both sides of the border. gwen and toby's janelle, to him without his in new york, where officials have been working on that proposal. i asked her whether a diplomatic breakthrough is a realistic possibility as well. yeah, steven, this is the sort of thing that we're familiar with, especially when it comes to talk about cessation of hostilities and dogs. all we know where those efforts have led those talks have been, those talks have been stalls and nobody believes about. so joe biden will be able

to get a deal together before he leaves office in january and all this violence, of course, and live in on is threatening to mutate into a wider regional war. but as he said, you, us officials are reportedly working on a deal here on the sidelines of so you and general assembly with other countries. a deal about 6 of and 5th phlegmatic efforts surrounding garza and elaborate on so mean a deal that were to restart the fire hostage and release off in garza as well as put a. 5 pause to the fighting on israel's northern border where you're asking about the chances of success. and that is a very difficult calculation to make. at the moment these diplomatic efforts are coming out of time, as you said, where israel is considering a ground incursion. and from i've been on where israel is being criticized for it's a parent strategy to de escalate to buy escalated by escalating and all these

constellations complicates of those diplomatic efforts or even not even here for you and general assembly where ostensibly nobody wants this war because that's what everybody has. se. janelle, as you mentioned, you're at united nations in new york. you know, that is really liter. benjamin netanyahu is due to address the general assembly at some point. what can we expect? well, it's hard to say. so benjamin netanyahu has often used these kinds of speeches, meeting these kinds of speeches conducted in english, conducted on a wider global stage, to play, to audiences at home, to impress some with his mastery it, with his rhetorical mastery or with this international standing. so if we are to take past stages of his as a blueprint, remember he delivered one fairly recently in the front of a u. s. r joyce session of congress. if we take that as blue for it, he's probably going to talk about how his actions in gaza are justified. how his

behavior towards a towards has a lot is guided by right. just aims. and because he's always thought as he's probably going to talk a lot about iran and how iran is the source of this order in the region. but he's also coming out of time uh to the saw united nations general assembly at a time where he has diminished political and diplomatic capital at a time. aware of the scale of death and humanitarian catastrophe in gaza has reached out beyond the scale of the imaginable. and it's also coming out of time where the international criminal court is considering is considering issuing and arrest provide for him. so it really is hard to say what a visit from him would achieve, given that he is becoming an increasingly isolated figure, addressing the stage at the united nations,

janelle dom alone in new york. thank you. president vladimir putin has won the west . russia could use nuclear weapons if it was struck with conventional missiles. russian liter presented changes to russia's nuclear doctrine. at a meeting of the country security council, put instead of nuclear power supporting an attack on russia would now be considered a joint aggressor. he will change in doctrine comes after pollutants warning to the us and other nato allies that allowing ukraine's use western long rage weapons hit russian territory. would mean that russia and nato ard war a substantial for article jared is a senior research associate at the harvard kennedy school. i asked her what we should make of pollutants, latest comments on russian using nuclear weapons. this is of the latest instance of a long string of nuclear rhetoric and signaling that has been coming out of moscow since the beginning of this full scale invasion. this is significant. we knew that

the russian leadership has been reviewing their military nuclear doctrine. and the general expectation has been that the russian threshold for the use of nuclear weapons will be lowered. there's been a lot of talk about this by russian liter, inspired by russian commentators. and so here we have a preview, right? there are a few significant things to note. one is the previous version of the russian doctrine adopted in 2020, allowed, also a re, a new response to large scale conventional attack. but only in extreme circumstances where this, the very survival of the state was at stake. now we, we understand from mr. perkins speech today. this formulation has changed

to, to say, well, extreme circumstances that jeopardize sovereignty rochell. yeah. what does that really mean? and who defines what, what serious threats to sovereignty might constitute, and the other part is this very specific mass of air attack. a description of the potential conventional, my task on russia. again, who determines what mass of really constitutes a, sorry, out of the chair and there from the harvard kennedy school. flooded zalinski says the war, new crane can only ends with victory over russia on the battlefield. or if moscow accept keeps peace plan. the training president told you in general assembly that his country would never accept any deal imposed upon it. and that efforts to reach a peace agreement with out keeps input would fail. press world leaders not to let off in their support. zalinski,

also one that russia is planning to attack ukraine's nuclear power plants, any messiah or drone strikes. any critical incident in the energy system could lead to a nuclear disaster. it date like that must never come. and the most school needs to understand these and these depends in part on your determination to put pressure on the dresser. these are nuclear power plants. they must be safe. if god forbid russia causes and usually are disaster at the one the one of our nuclear power plants radiation will not respect state board is. and unfortunately, virus nations could feel that the staging effects. let's have a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world administration knows my new york city there. eric adams has been indicted following a federal inquiry into a legit corruption environment is sealed. but us media reporting,

he will face criminal charges, which is adam says he will refuse to resign if he has to face the bills in china says it has fired an intercontinental ballistic missile fitted with a dummy warhead. in the pacific ocean between civil launch was routine, even though his last known task was in 1980. japan said it received no advance notice and that it's seriously concerned about china's military buildup. it may be years before astronauts with the european space agency set foot on the moon, but preparations are already well underway here on earth. a state of the art facility has just been unveiled in western germany were asked or not, or training for future mood admissions. this industrial building in the west, german city of cologne, may not look like much from the outside, but one small step inside. and there's an immediate feeling of being transported out of this world the

to the moon, to be exact. the new training facility simulates the lunar landscape, complete with 900 tons of volcanic rock mind from a nearby mountain range. it can also be used by manufacturers to test equipment such as land rovers and space suits and the resistance to extreme conditions. the facility named luna is the brainchild of german astronaut, but he has smiles initiated it and said like we need to prepare for the moon because kind of leave it on the flying to lowest orbit to the international space station. but the next mission, so bring us to the moon. 55 years since man 1st landed on the moon. a new generation of astronaut is planning to return. under the now solid arguments program. the you are p and space agency has negotiated for 3 spots on

future moon emissions. it currently relies on nasa and others to get its asked are not in deep space. the objective of the german luna facility is to give those astronauts the feeling they're already walking on the moon. we have everything that we need to test and pre palace us for the moon. it's a facility that not even nazzo has or any other international partners. so we believe that in the future, many people will come to cologne before flying to the moon. i hope also all the nasa astronaut would strain here before the admission to the more miles in hopes. this unique facility will prepare astronauts from europe and around the world to make a smooth transition from here to here. and that's all for now. we'll be back soon with more headlines in the meantime. find out more about these and other stories online. t w comp. for also on youtube or the dw news channel coming up next,
