a powerful hurricane. lean hits, florida, 6 states of declared emergencies with devastating floods predicted a 1000000 residents. some already lost power, and more damage is expected. the hello and terry morris. and thanks for joining us. ukraine's present loading is the landscape faces his toughest talks, yet that his trip to the us, as he meets with republican party is presidential candidate donald trump. trump agreed to meet so lensky, while declaring he believes the us as paying too much to back and cranes campaign against russia. and europe is the day earlier. so lansky sat down with the at the white house with the current president who announced an $8000000000.00 aid package for keith. and he secured a commitment of unwavering support from the democratic presidential candidate.

pamela harris. savanski has been busy trying to secure a bi partisan backing for his defense efforts ahead of the us elections. speaking with harris, he made the case for ongoing funding and weapons. we have to have this for. we need to adjust these and we must protect how our people, grant, thomas grandchildren, and everyone from fulton, civil, grateful to a medical for supporting ukraine all and will have an important meeting today, dr. outside, talk to present by the end of all the time will be 3 and i will share some details on the plan with weis. presidents hires is crucial for us to, to be fully understandable and to work in a full coordination with their ad space. and this morning i talked also to, to the congressman both chambers, both parties, and i'm thankful for that by positive support. we believe this war can be one. and

just these can be close along with it. with the united states. for moral and presidents landscape visit to the us, i'm joined now by our corresponding with the spelling in ukraine's capital. keep and by our eastern europe, editor room and gunter rank of welcome to both, but to use the landscape visit to the us is happening in the middle of the presidential election campaign there. what's at stake in this trip for you create yeah, i think it's no surprise. it's not a coincidence that this is happening right now before the elections, although of course, the reason was the un general assembly. but, but i think there are 2 things here. ukraine, people have very worried about a possible future. trump administration considering uh that trump has said that he's, he thinks judge us is spending too much on ukraine on his running mate. j divines went even further. so this is a big concern, and this is why, of course,

and then skills that sees the opportunity to talk to by and, and to try to speed up things to get as much as he can in terms of military aid before the elections or before the end of to but he's also of course meeting with drum because in the future this might be may be a very important meeting. he's trying of course to convince him that's helping you create is in the interest of america as well. that's the ukranian position, and that's why uh, talking to everybody before the election is of course vital for him. although yesterday's talks, of course, brought him a little bit if or criticism from the trump come, that he would be helping a bite harris in this campaign. roland donald trump has been critical of us a to ukraine. might this be playing into the hands of russia

a oh yes, absolutely. um the plan is critical or dependent on the united states uh to keep fighting in this for the process started. um, it's not just the mount of weapons that united states have been delivering, and i still delivering it to ukraine. it's the types of weapons so many of them are very, very important. things like cross missiles that the other countries are delivering . they're also dependent on us. um the rocket launchers multiple are all good launches and primer systems in country fighting vehicles. those bradley's, your granular army, desperately needs them. and they have proved to be very, very effective on the battlefield. and i also intelligence information uh olds as is now um, physically critically important for you, brian, and is united states,

should we throw that support? that's what i'm going to create in a very difficult position. and remember, half a year ago when there was a 6 month pause in the united states help because of the situation in the congress . and the parts of the republican party blocked the that's a military package for your train. presidents, wednesdays himself said in april that if there is no help from the united states, your brain would lose this war. but to us, the winter is fast approaching that will change conditions on the battlefield and of course, crane, ukraine's energy infrastructure has been compromised. how important is extra western support for ukraine in the coming months? this is the 3rd winter, this hood war winter in ukraine and every year ukraine stocks into the winter in west condition, a lot of infrastructure has already been destroyed,

although uh you train and, and the allies are doing a tremendous stuff to keep it somehow running. um, but of course things like ad defends vital to ukraine, survival as a functioning state, as with a as a function with the functioning infrastructure. so this package now that abide yesterday approved contains of cost extra and an extra patriot system. and other defense devices. these, this is vital for ukraine to supply mathias, to thank you very much, our correspondence, mathias spelling of the in key, and we also have roman going to reiko, joining us from one. thank you very much. do you by now let's get to take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world depends ruling liberal democratic party is chosen. she girl, is she?

but as their new leader is, eva is a former defense minister and in his pitch to l. d. p member, is he called for a power or society in japan, and she is due to become prime minister next week following the expected resignation of current liter from you. because she tells you that this thousands of people had marched through mexico's capital to mark the 10th anniversary of the kidnapping and murder of 43 students, wrote testers and demanding a complete picture of what happened to the victims. the previous government report included the students were abducted by a drug gang with the help of corrupt police. no one has been convicted over the incident. in new york city, mayor eric adams has been charged with taking bribes and accepting illegal contributions in diamond follows the major investigation into the mayor's campaign enclosed associated with mister adams assist. he is innocent and has us new yorkers to withhold judgments until after he presents his defense. israel has

launched more airstrikes until 11 o and after allies, including the us, and that you called for a temporary cease fire. israel's aerial bombardments of claim for more than $600.00 lives this week. israel says it's carrying out precision strikes against hans pulled out militants. israel's army chief has said the preparations are under way for a possible ground invasion. was crossover to be rude, where our bureau chief mohammed trade to is joining us now? i'm a how, what is the situation like 11 on this morning spent some warning for a country at war. that's the situation. dustin, january, we moved here and bailed the main streets are almost empty. and that's very unusual for a friday. but the, you know, in terms of the neighborhoods are very proud of due to the 10s of thousands of

refugees who have fled their homes and are renting apartments here in the capital or staying at the family and friends. you know, everyone is anticipating the latest developments on the front line and how this may unfold. people yesterday had hoped that a european american proposal for a a ceasefire that would bring a, you know, some stability and people could take a break. but that is obviously, it still seems to be far fetched at least for now, you know, as the military confrontation between hezbollah and as well keep going on the board . israel's airstrikes have also targeted locations in bay route. and as you say, tens of thousands of refugees have come into the city. how is a root coping with all this? as well as personal initiatives and,

and volunteers are working round the clock to fill in so many gaps that the government couldn't manage to fill for, for so many reasons. but mainly the lack of preparedness and readiness to taking this influx of refugees. so individual and collective efforts are trying to offer accommodation, food and basic needs. and for, you know, the people who have fled their homes in the south and into the cottage and, and mainly this really shows some sort of solidarity at this level on the human aspect as the country is. and really very divided on the political spectrum. and this war is further dividing the minis when it comes to big strategic decisions about the priority now is to, you know, help the refugees. what is the militant group hezbollah say about the possibility

of and is really ground invasion? and ground invasion was most welcomed by has been lost. chief house on the for a lot. you know, the militant group leader said make no mistake. this is what we want to. this is what we're looking for, the group a and can not defy as well as area areas as a priority and, and advanced technology. but it believes that a ground a patient is in its bottom field, its its field of expertise. so to say so there's no doubt that has been the received huge blows over the past few days, the device explosions and the killing of the senior leadership. but it is still a very powerful administer group with, you know, a wide channels of, of tunnels and thousands of rockets and soldiers at its disposal. well, have a thank you very much for your reporting. that was our bureau chief in bay rouge

mohammed tre, to as israel's prepares for a possible ground invasion 11 on it, faces a challenge that could prove more difficult than the situation in gaza. the militant group has pulled off, has been preparing for such and defensive for years with an extensive network of tunnels backed by missiles the as riley army has carried out more than 2000 strikes and 11 on since the start of the week. but it appears no closer to stopping hezbollah, firing rockets over the boulder and allowing northern israel residents to return to towns like this one that had been almost empty by nit daily attacks. now with tanks heading to the folder, it seems israel is preparing to send in ground forces to try and achieve what f, how hasn't moved from the city. you will go in and destroy the enemy. there are, this is, was,

will allow us to safely return the residence of the nor have to was the community to one is really officials have made clear that that a missed a full hezbollah back across lebanon's la tony river, creating the buffers that the un security council called for back in 2006 at the end of the last war between israel and the group. the area is a strong hold of has bought a while the group has been weakened by israel's killings of senior commanders. it is still full to have between 40 and 50000 fighters, as well as an off know of a 150000 rockets. hezbollah is also believed to built an extensive tunnel network as seen and its propaganda. if it is like this one, according to his really estimates it could cover hundreds of kilometers x, but say hezbollah will likely prove even more of a challenge and home us as the fullest, as

a find more federal hot. and they're much more sophisticated in terms of how they operate more independently because they operate also like i'm us anyway, but obviously i must, is, as never been in the sine intensity. come back before most of them, i suppose the headboard are has why? the idea is always it prepared for us for this war. i don't know, they do know how costly is going to be, but the lebanese people will also be forced to pay the price of any ground invasion . last week's attacks have already killed hundreds. well, tens of thousands more have fled from the homes and southern 11 known in search of safety. those who have made it to shelter like here in a root, have a little say in the prospect overseas. fine. not i've got a fly in the clearly is it wireless lane is actually you don't have enough. i'll put a holier they have been talking about cruising because i want to admit, but it has not happened once they bought them. uh,

i thought that was the dumbest guess. the truth isn't enough for us to return to our homes because it lasts for a short time. then we'll be displaced again and while you're at, we want to return to our homes permanently. lee, i'm with is riley falls, is conducting exercise. it's close to the lebanese border on thursday. those who have left the homes behind community wait and hope or tomorrow there's less talk to marina me role and she's military analyst with the war studies department at kings college london around israel is apparently preparing for ground defensive inside lab and on what arguments does it have for launching such an offensive now would you say it makes sense for is real militarily good me everything, terry? well, that's a very difficult question to answer whether it will make sense for israel and then we'll get into that. however, now from the east really point of views of the intensity of the fighting in gauls

a has refused. and now there was this growing strength and the unique opportunity to weaken the hassle, especially of true the tac last week. and therefore, israel sees it as an opportunity to you during which house but why is slightly disoriented, i would say to push the house full of fighters back and to free that buffer zone. so air power here is not sufficient because it has to be supported by ground maneuver. and we're seeing that despite the fact that the house block has suffered damage from the walkie talkie attack, it still shows its capabilities and it can still strike east trial, especially in this economic centers. so israel things, air power alone will not be enough to push the house full of but it has to be supported by ground forces. now israel is already heavily committed militarily in

gaza in the south. does it have enough capacity marianne, to pipe a 2 front war to well on the military form? that is the 1st question. can israel fight a 2 front war and what it might look like? because the operational plans would be to push house bullet back and then possibly hold the territory in such a scenario. yes, but this is not how things might work on the ground. and we have to take into account that house support is not a months. house bullet has been preparing for this kind of war, was the idea of since 2006, they are considered to be one of the most powerful and sophisticated mil or treat groups supported by iran. having some 100000 missiles and rockets including precision guided missiles and they also have an extensive funnel network as we've

heard. and therefore, if the gaza is an example of how this operation can go, then israel would be in for along more. militarily, it will be difficult to sustain, but not just militarily, if we'll look at these for else economy and how long it could survive, basically is the economic prospect for israel upgrades, especially if house blah escalates its attacks into talib, you've and jerusalem. the is rarely economic centers, and of course these role would be very much contingent on the help of the united states. and therefore, there are a lot of different variables which we don't know the value off in, in terms of how my support these ro bill will be receiving. therefore, it's impossible to answer west or israel is actually capable because that will depend on several factors. not least on the rounds involvement on the involvement

of the who is in the red sea when they see how people are being pushed back. there are many factors in this, in this conflict, of course, if israel does launch a ground offensive into 11 on marina, do you think that would be limited to southern 11 on? so it depends on what has blood does because of, for israel, of course, it would probably make some most sense to limited to 1000 level them to achieve its military objectives, as israel has stated. but unfortunately, i don't think it will be the case. and i think that house full of will seek retaliation, and we're still expecting a response from you rand. therefore, i think it, it, it might blew up into a wide or middle eastern conflict. marina, thank you very much for talking with us today. that was military analyst, marina me, wrong. thank you for having me now

to the united states and after racing across the gulf of mexico hurricane helene has made landfall in the usa to florida with warnings of widespread damage from high winds and flood waters. helene has hit florida's big bend area on the gulf coast late on late at night as a category for storm. but it since been downgraded almost a 1000000 homes and businesses, the lost power supply residents and some areas based mandatory evacuation orders. and those who stayed were advised to write their names on their bodies in marker pen. faleen is expected to continue to effect much of the southeastern united states, with a state of emergency declared in 6 states. meteorologist matthew, you can put g as in florida, monitoring the storm from a safe place with a phone connection. he told me earlier about the impact of hurricane holdings,

landfill. a. yeah, so i was inside the wall, the inner most rings wednesday or thursday with lane i got got the 160 to 170 kilometers per hour. my entire vehicle. uh, a roughly, you know, one and a half ton truck was within 2 and a for a while. we had to englewood into the wind because i was, i was afraid of going to basically tip or be flip. uh, we saw sheet metal flying, we saw the power immediately go out pre damage all over the place. i've had to backtrack a multiple routes inside of the middle of nowhere right now, which is why you can't see me. the cell network has been struggling, understandably so. one of my colleagues reported several towers knocked down on the cell towers in on towers unclear. but the other issue too, we had a dangerous search, the coastline database officers of roughly 2 meters. but farther north, we are anticipating in search of between 3 and 5 theaters. we don't really have any information yet as to how bad insurance was realized. thankfully, so that area was somewhat rural and it was also heavily evacuated. so hopefully

most folks got away from the beaches, but i can tell you the impacts are still ongoing. even though they're waiting in florida, we have like 1600000 customer sell power. and now the core of the store, how much is since we can somebody, somebody went around a 120130 kilometers per hour is moving into southern georgia. possible wise for power outages and very harsh conditions for a place that is usually far enough inland to avoid the impact. so you're saying that there could still be 5 meter storm surges. that's huge. how are people in florida where you are coping with this as well now that the court has passed inland and the wind switched the direction because the hurricane is a big counter clockwise spinning storm, the search is actually no longer concerned. it would be pushed out to see that said, were any water came in, it might be, you know, still lingering there. but for the most part, any water that came in on this training, but any time even storm like this, without those rust from the water hide from the wind, it's easy to on shelter from wind by being inside of 30 building,

but it's very difficult to hide from water, the only thing you can do is i run it, especially in situations like this, where the water can penetrate far inland. thanks to how wide spread the wind dark and how easy it is to pile water against the coast, especially when it's up to see for the for it's pretty flat. now there were dire warnings attached to this hurricane with forecasts or saying it had the potential to be catastrophic. does it still have that kind of potential, matthew? well, the good news is it's been down way to the category to address this back to the coming hours a week into a category one hurricane. so the impacts are beginning to less than that said, the worst of it is already done in, in the course. it's about 2 12 in the morning local time here. i suspect we won't really know the extent of the damage until morning. i can tell you the driving through as i head back towards central florida in an effort to find any electricity and services. i can tell you that driving through, i saw

a mobile home that was demolished multiple gas station, kathy, that were down widespread tree damage. and that's just based on what i could see in mind. you, i can't really see all that much given how dark it is and how there's no electricity anywhere. so i suspect, come morning, we'll have a better idea of the scope of the damage. and i think folks will be surprised by how widespread structural damage was in this part of the county. matthew, thank you so much. that was journalist and meteorologist. matthew could put, she thank you. savannah's capital cartoon has been rocked by airstrikes and droned attacks as the army launches and defensive to retake ground in the capital. most of the city is in the hands of the revel, rapids support forces amid a 17 month civil war. so these media said the fighting was the heaviest and months sued on these foods to celebrate, as they take control of some media in cartoon. which the rep and that i'm going to

group rep would support forces controlled witnesses reported heavy selling in the early hours of post a psychological. so don's health industry at these 4 civilians have been killed and several injured in the latest fighting. meanwhile, in new york, while the military chief of the put on as the door, the united nations general assembly, that the audit stuff must put down good weapons on hand to stop fighting. just what, what's up with you? i'm going to do. i want them to you, but then said, i'm 1st and foremost, we need to put an end to the hostilities. the militias must withdraw from all the areas they currently occupied and from which people have been displaced. they must lay down their weapons so that people can go back to their homes without doing it then, so that assistance can be delivered. and so we're on the side. luckily. so dogs, good and civil war broke out an effort last year due to

a father's struggle between that military leader mohammed from don donald and army chief of duty for the foot on the conflict has been tens of thousands displeased more than 10000000 and caused extreme hunger order for, i mean in several parts of the country has the 2 power. pretty general exchange accusations, the faith of the sudanese people to remain unknown and the humanitarian situation keeps getting worse. you are watching dw news from berlin. just reminder, the top stories that we're following for you, this, our republican presidential candidate donald trump, has agreed to meet with ukraine's president of a lot of me as a landscape who is seeking a bi partisan support for his fight against russia. trump said the us was spending

too much on ukraine's defense and insisted he could make a deal with russia as president vladimir putin. and hurricane helene has made landfall in the us state of florida. strong winds and high storm surges, our expansion to bring widespread flooding. 6 southern states have issued emergency warnings. thanks for watching. that's all for now. next, we've got to do that. we used to fate program to the point, taking a look at the possibility to the point. strong opinions, clear position, international perspective. striking concept, striking, know, and insights is around and has but are both stick that new phrase of the world. already the numbers of victims are mounting and we ask, is row versus has put on will that be all or in love to the point

next on the w 9, but we'll tell you we're happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold plus that to you for for the present in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. for you news africa. in 60 minutes on d w, the my name is elizabeth and i'm the calls back said, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do

that. it's all about saying it loud. things would have been, you know, say like good everyone to ok. so to be turning into a microphone, sorry. check out the award winning outcome. don't hold back the violence of more violence and no end in sight. a new phase of the war is being declared by both israel and has the people on both sides are getting a taste of what that looks and feels like. rockets and bones ran down on both sides . hundreds already died. 11 in tens of thousands of civilians fled south of the country, heading north as but once revengeful as wells and talk on that come on this on fighters rigging, pages with explosives, isabel allegedly killed around a 1000 and injured and many more.
