the, the business dw news lies from violin. israel says its troops, habits at 11 on seeking to disable has the law. the is really military reports, intense slicing between its forces and the wrong box, and then listened through this as a rocket, alive near. tell a leaf full so coming up on the program, a changing of the dollars in a time of crisis, the form at the firm and it's the amount process takes over the reins of nato. he says, the defense, if you crane does not, and that the russian florida fall, downplaying must go strength of nuclear retaliation. the

money keeps, mckinnon. welcome to the program. israel says its troops have entered southern lebanon as it's anticipated. ground defensive gets on the way. now. israel's mil it tree is carrying out what it's cooling, targets to the ground raids against has blah the iran backed group says it launched missiles towards the headquarters of israel's intelligence agency. most of them aside is located near tel aviv, why explosions, an air raid sirens have been hud, has the law is denying that is right. the troops have entered the lebanese territory. as israel continues to fund it and missiles into lebanon on the ground, it is sending trucks carrying tanks across the board into southern lebanon to

undertake what he is really minute tree is cooling. a target to don't peroration against militant group has blah idea. footage shows the troops preparing an address by the unit to come on to get just the we have a great privilege to write history, you know, as we did in gaza on us to do the same here in the know kind of we started with a more low key operation. today we're going to start a more significant maneuver, almost to return the residence of the know that safely to the homeless. the unload the of the lebanese capital bay route has been targeted by an increasing number of strikes in recent days. but it citizens still doubts the israel will get to write this history. how's it wishes that i am, in my opinion, there is only a small possibility that is where it will be successfully of the course of the resistance remains to throw me into a little bit. you are we for the side of the narrative presented by nation. yeah,

who is a distraction from the major failure that occurred in gaza? it's a result of his inability to achieve the so called total victory and garzo. plus it has the hundreds of thousands of people in netherland. have already been displaced by the conflict sling to other parts of the country or abroad has been lost as its flight is ready to retaliate against the ground defensive by its ro join now by marina moran, who's a military on the list of the war studies department at kings college loans and welcome marina. and what can you tell us so far about the nature of israel as ground incursion? i mean, is this likely, or is it likely that they are leading up to a full scale invasion of southern lebanon? daniel? well, it's difficult to judge at the moment from what it looks like. the operation is

supposed to be limited in order to create the sad buffer zone. so at least in theory, that's a plan, and that's a plan with which the u. s. 14, and the problem here is no plan survives the 1st contact with the enemy. that being said in series, that's what these ro wants to do, however, was, or it will, leads to a full scale incursion, remains to be seen. but it is very possible because the nature of the fighting will be different from what we have seen in gauze. and even for guys are there was a specific plan on how to advance. and we have seen how dynamic the battlefield was . and how many times the idea of have to adjust its move the sapir on the therefore, it will of course, depend on these rails a military goals. it will also depend on other actors and the international community of the supported to israel. but it is not to be excluded. we know that

israel has seriously degraded, has the laws lead to ship structure. it has targeted hundreds of suspected weapons . depos will, has blah, actually be able to offer any serious resistance to is ready ground forces to tell you what we have to understand is that his will lie is a very capable violent mon state. after that they are for decapitating z organization. a that's in theory, what the israel did, removing military commanders lean, removing the leadership, and hoping that this would deliver a fatal blow to the organization. it will be so disorganized internally that it will not be able to offer assistance. hence, we're seeing this incursion right now. and going, because that that is a logic. however, the question is, in how far did it cause damage to his boss structure. and from

my understanding, it's not quite as hierarchical as we might think. therefore, i believe that there will be resistance and we're seeing hezbollah firing back at israel already. and of course, we have to take into account that as are actors such as the ram might get involved in, in may, in this conflict, to support his beloved because that is a roms main proxy. i did want to ask you about iran, but 1st i wanted to ask you, do you think that israel is aiming to re occupied southern lenses? and i mean, you spoke about the fact that, you know, best laid plans. it's hard to say what's gonna happen. but do you think there is the same and you think not as a why a strategy as well? again, as i said, it will depend on manufacturers and on how's this operation evolves? will it just with pushing have to pull up back them. um,

this area will be secure and stable and then the user alice will be able to return to their homes. that's the best case scenario, but this is probably not going to happen. so there might be a need to leave. the forces there to reapply is the area in order to be able to control it and to prevent hezbollah from going back to that area. so it is not to be excluded. and i think there is quite a high probability that it might be necessary. whether it's a wide strategy, well, it depends on what is relevance to achieve it. it depends on the capabilities. and of course, it also depends on what is going to happen to move on because we, we, we talk about this buffer zone, but to leap and on is on the brink of collapse. and that could create a power vacuum inviting our balance non state actors to 5 full power. and we've seen that in the rock after and 2003 worry rog descended into violence despite the

initial success and in the american operation. and therefore in this scenario could be repeated, meaning that israel will have to decide whether it will want to take greater part in this or what it will will be. so difficult to make any projections here. marina, thank so much for that. i'm afraid we've run out of time, but that was marina moran minute trammel list from kings college london. thank you . marine. thank you for having me. one of nato. his longest serving top officials, x ray, generally uninstalled and bug has handed over the reins to the form at that time in the stomach, russia, and a ceremony at the military lines this headquarters in brussels, stilton buck handed over the gavel to his successor. he said that he couldn't wait to get started is pretty to assess the said he has the perfect background of to juggling the interest for coalition government. in the method, often ceremony,

richard spoke to reporters and admitted that the situation on ukraine's bottle sealed is difficult, but he added that russia's advances come at a very high cost. you also said that you cranes right to self defense does not end at the board. let's not forget, ukraine is fighting a war of self defense, and that means that ukraine has the right to defend itself. and as we know, international law and according to an international law, these right does not end at the border. and so that means that supporting ukraine's rights to self defense means that it is also possible for them to strike legitimate dockets on the aggressive territory. um, at the end, it's up to each ally to determine it's reports for your brain. that's not up to me . this is for an individual allies in darren relationship with you, craig, and we also have to be clear, that's not a single bunk, single rep,

and alone will win the war. but obviously, this isn't important to you, but i'll stop brussels pura shape alexander phenomena to tell us more about mont roach's top. priority is as the new nights are chief so not a who to a named today, a 3 a top priorities stepping up support for kids and bringing cue crane closer to the lions is one of them. increasing defense and military spending across the alliance is the 2nd priority. and the search for you or to you for my to go to is too deep and partnerships with countries in the, in the pacific. and i have to say that he really the way how he presented himself made clear that she knows what he's talking about. and that she is an experienced politician. that she is ready and able to start this job to straight on without

a honey period or a grace period. and i think that towards the allies were halting for, for with a to be also as sign of continue it see. at may 10th. he did talk about the united states, didn't that he made a very clear point of saying, but he will look with whoever becomes the new us president didn't pay. yes indeed. and yeah, and i saw that the moment that he was probably thinking that so i bos, cams, were paying attention to what he had to say of a team of camelot highways, of course. but 1st and foremost, of course, the team of donalds trump, who has always been an outspoken, outspoken critics of the alliance by to today a stress that so he worked close together with donald trump when he was in

the white house. he even the even gave trump credits for pushing allies towards spending more on defense and also identifying china as a big challenge for the trans atlantic alliance. is which described china today as an n, a blur of russia's war efforts. so he was quite clear about that as well as he was clear about his main message on that topic that he is willing, unable to work with, whoever will with when that weighs before the white house. and he is, of course, as we've been saying, a very experienced politician. he was so many is the, the ducks, prime minister. what do you think his appointment will mean now in particular, for e, u, european union and nato relations? well i here, i think that many here hope that that will mean a close

a cooperation with the european union as a blog, as you said before to knows a do a p and leaders. he spends many days together with them that goes sheeting, arguing about topics many nights, even because as we know, assignments of the european leaders can go can be very long. so he knows whom to approach whom to convince how to work together. and this is a very important topic for the future of the alliance, and also for the future of the european union. as the europeans have understood that they needs to do more for their defense, they wants to as to ramp up the weapons of production. and they wants to come out and know it's more when it comes to buying new weapons. but that is also, those are areas that's new to us also focusing on so,

so i'm here at nato headquarters are concerned that in the end we could see parallel structures and the wants to avoid. so the router is probably the right man to, to, to make sure that the u. s. need so will strengthen their corporation and defend the partnership in the future as under. thank you so much for bringing us up to date. that's the w's, alexandra phone number. thank you and here's a quick look at some of the other stories and making headlines today. and the way he makes found the julian a sorry, i just made his 1st public address since he was released from a fresh prison. sr, spoke at the council of your confront, saying he pled guilty to journalism and shows freedom of unattainable justice screen. when striking a deal to avoid the present time. c, i a 100 pounds, call them into the electron. she grew, she, there is the country's new prime minister, the liberal democrats is tossed with restoring confidence in the scandal,
