or the business needed when use live from balance. israel begins to ground, defensive and 11 on its conducting what it calls a limited operation. seeking to disable hezbollah, the military ones, lebanese residents near the border to leave the homes. there are reports of intense fighting between his ready forces and the iran box militant groups. also coming out on the program, a changing of the god and the time of crisis, the former prime minister in mont, for us, it takes over the reins of nate. so he says, the defense of ukraine deltas and the russian border while down playing most of those threats of nuclear retaliation. it pallid persons industrial

revolution and wasn't indispensable source of energy for centuries. but now the u. k becomes the 1st major economy to completely phase out cold power, the manufacturers mccain. and thank you so much for joining us. israel says it's troops all conducting what it calls, limited raids in cells and 11 on in an effort to stop hezbollah attacks. the army worn and residents of lebanese communities near the border to evacuate. the iran back troop has beloved denies that is ready, troops are in lebanon. these randy military says it's ground forces will not send to any fees and will conclude operations as soon as possible. as israel continues defiant and missiles into lebanon on the

ground, this 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 cases or, you know, as we did in gaza. and i still to the same here in the know kind of, we started with a more low key operation. and today we're going to start a more significant maneuver, almost to return the residence of and all that safely to the homeless. the unload the lebanese capital bay route has been targeted by an increasing number of strikes in recent days. but it citizen still doubts the israel will get to write this history as it wishes. that i am, in my opinion, there is only

a small possibility that is where it will be successfully the close to the resistance remains from it until the 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 as a result of his inability to achieve the so called total victory and gaza, left the hundreds of thousands of people in lebanon have already being displaced by the conflict sling to other parts of the country or a broad has the law says its flight is ready to retaliate against the ground defensive by its ro. we're going across straight to the root now and speak to stella, man, who's a gen less working the stella. what are you hearing about the situation on the ground in southern lebanon? for everything we hear from the house live on,

is quite contradictory. we have to say, the israeli army said that it started the ground invasion and that there is heavy fighting, going on. but say, saw these information has not been confirmed by local authorities. there's some new can media outlets who have correspondence down on the ground in the south. and they say whether they say that they consult confirm the strikes and heavy fighting in there, but they don't see or witness anything happening on the ground. no fighting on the ground so far. sky and use another channel here is closing a spokesperson from unity. so the un peacekeeping troops and south live on, on, and this person is closer to be, have such a that there is no ground fighting, taking place yet. so everything is quite contradictory. what we can say for sure so

far is that the air strikes are continuing. and of course that the situation for the civilians is getting worse. that's right. i mean, israel has sent text messages to lebanese civilians has on it and sell them 11 and telling them to move north. can you tell us about the city, the humanitarian situation, that where all people who are fleeing the slicing going yes, the civilians are really the ones that are suffering. these attacks at the moment. and the frequency of the attacks is getting higher and higher just minutes before we start speaking now is rarely ami has a hit again, the sizes and so groups of a root. so. so this leads to more and more people seeing that homes. a lot of people coming in to be rude, many of them don't have a home, don't have a commendation where they can stay. the live in each state is the fed state,

and it's not taken care of. of these people, there are any, if you shelters run by some party political parties or by some volunteers. but these challenges are full and they don't have enough capacities to the golf to these people. so many people are just staying in the streets or favored. these scenes are quite hot breaking because the people have nothing. they're sitting there barefoot on the pavement. some of them have some carpets or cushions where they're twice to sit and rest. and there are some volunteers going around, trying to distribute was a and a little bit of foods, just the necessary things. stella, thank you so much for bringing us up to date. don't stella? john list, spell out and then reporting from they root. and i'm joined now by daniel bayman from the center for strategic and international studies. he's also a professor at georgetown university school of foreign service and director of the

security studies program that welcome to the www pleasure. to have you on the program right now in israel, the talk is about ground incursions. can you tell me, do you think that we're about to see a full scale is right. the invasion is $711.00 on it is. so israel certainly of large numbers of troops after or near the border and is prepared for that. a lot is going to depend on how much resistance israel encounters close to the border. and for now, at least as well as indicated that it's going to be a limited operation, that this is something that may not require huge numbers of troops. but these operations have a way of growing and this conflict is typically escalated. so certainly a much more mass operation this task. does israel think that it can force hezbollah to withdrawal, to know, since that latania river and stay the without israel actually having to re occupied that region 11 on. so in the last 3 weeks,

we've seen this dramatic escalation by israel in terms of going after has been like multiple ways going after it's fighters going after its leaders destroying its communications. significant bombing at dial ground operation of this is really designed to courses by law to force the organization to move back. and if it won't do so voluntarily, to use the ground operation to push it back without making that decision. the important kalia here is that this may not be to the time it may just be several kilometers on these really border to give people in the area a bit more breathing space. but there was a lot up in the air right now, and i don't think decisions have been fully made by us. right. and do you think that is ready, politically military leaders believe that they can? the grade has bola as a slicing force to the extent that they have degraded homeless and garza certainly not to the extent they've degraded tomas of that, cuz it involved almost

a year of you know, massive warfare and much of gaza ops huge numbers of troops. but in the last few weeks is relevant for you to spell a hard. there's no question. terms out senior leadership rank and file members and the groups military capabilities. so i wouldn't say use bosses comparison, but i would say israel police and i think correctly that it can greatly reduce his paula's military power. buses. below is a very strong organization with a lot of dedicated fighters variety of backing. so it's a very, very tough organization to be. speaking of iran, the us says that it has indications that iran is preparing to launch a ballistic missile attack on israel is a response from iran. very likely, do you think so around not only is a very strong support of his beloved, but israel, of course, has done operations in iran and arrived this morning. rebecca. so certainly it's

a possibility. i would point out that in april rod did this massive rocket and missile attacks on israel that largely fizzled and whether a rob has the capability to strike is role effectively. is a question mark, daniel diamond from the center. the strategic and international studies in washington dc. thank you so much for your analysis and insight. thanks for having me. is now one of nature's longest serving tough official sex rate. generally young sheldon book has handed over the reins to the former doctor prime minister monk, russia, and a ceremony as a military alliance as headquarters in brussels, shilton buck handed over the gavel to his successor, who said he can't wait to get still said don't bug said that rosa has the perfect background of to juggling the interests of full coalition governments in the netherlands after the ceremony for us spoke. so reports is an message that the

situation on ukraine's battlefield is difficult, but added that russia's advances do come at a very high cost. he also said that ukraine's right to self defense does not end on the border. 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 ends 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 christmas territory. um, at the end is up to each ally to determine it's reports for your brain. that's not up to me. this is for the individual allies in guarantee relationships with ukraine . and we also have to be clear, it's not a single bond. the single rep and alone will win the war. but obviously this is an

important event. whilst out brussels buried chief erics on the phenomena to tell us more about monk versus top priorities as the new, nicer chief. so not to the who to named today. a 3 a top priorities. stepping up support for kids and bringing q crane closer to the alliance is one of them. increasing defense and military spending across the alliance is the 2nd priority. and the search for your tea, for my computer 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 he is an experienced politician that she is ready and able to start this job straight on without

a honey period or a grace period. and i think that towards the, the allies were halting for so with a to be or so as sign of continue it see at may 10th. he did a 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 hate yes indeed. and yeah, and i saw that the moment that he was probably thinking that so i bose cams were paying attention to what he had to say as a team of pamela harris of course. but 1st and foremost, of course, the team of donalds, trump, who has always been an outspoken, outspoken critics of the alliance about to do to today a stress that so he worked close together with 2 dogs from 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 a chance. 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. while i here,

i think that's many here hope that that will mean a close, a cooperation with the european union as a blog, as you set to go to those 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 you are p and leaders can go of 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 european 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 co ordinate 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 paro structures. and the wants to avoid so the router is pro lead the right man to, to, to make sure that the u. s. need so will strengthen their corporation and deepen 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. we're going to take a look now. so the of the story is making headlines around the world today. and in time i'm the school bus with $44.00 passengers caught fire on a field trip near the capital bank hulk. a local official says 23 bodies have now been recovered. police believe the explosion was started by a tie of spock, but then ignited a gas cylinder, the prime minister pi tongue tongue sion of what true visited the hospital west. the volume is now being treated. swift glaciers melted as an above average rate.

this summit, this year, off to a very hot summer. scientists say they will hopeful that abundance, snow full in the region last winter and spring would flow or reverse glacial melting. but instead there was being rec, would losses. the monitoring agency says the trend could spelt as off to the switzerland installations. the wiki leak found the junior installer has made his 1st public address since he was released from the british prison. as far spoke up the counsel of here in strasburg. he said that he pled guilty to journalism and that he chose freedom over on the table justice when striking a deal to avoid the present time report and see how you were in your are now the republican and democratic candidates for us, vice president j events and symbols will face each other for the 1st time tonight. the mission is to convince americans to cost the vote for donald trump or come la

harris respectively. i know where is that more crucial than in swing states like pennsylvania dw is washington bureau chief and his for travel to the for them, a steel manufacturing hub of johnstown in pennsylvania to find out what matches the most to vote is that it may look like just any other small post industrial town in america. but it is places like johnstone that could decide who the next to as president will be. johnstone, as in pennsylvania, a so called swing state, one of a handful that has the potential to sway the outcome of a national election tier every vote counts. it's my jeffrey plumber and his colleagues are out knocking on doors, trying to convince fellow pennsylvanians to vote for harris and boss. if we don't do it, i mean who else is going to do it? we have to get out here and get these people to vote and hopefully we can get them

on our side the vote. and we're out in this area, just canvassing, making sure was playing on button in november if you plan on, but above what above probably. okay. i don't know for now. okay, so studying it, tracking feedback is cool. so therefore i'll check for your records. when people tell him they will vote for the data is then shared with other union representatives. so they know what to return to for another chat, undecided, undecided. some people have already made up their mind. sorry. yeah, i do. i do like 12 days she did close the borders. i liked them a lot because no, we got enough people and we got enough american people. we don't get enough jobs for them as well. i understand why bring in more, pete, the type battle for the white house is reflected in the signs in front of the house . by dint narrowly one johnstone by 80 votes in 2020,

and the presidential election before that, trump had won the city by a simular margin. usually the vice presidential pick is made to add something to the main verb. for james, a clark, a vietnam veteran, one wall springs to the democrats could help paris very well. walls covers a lot of bases. the capital harris may not hold. oh, it really shouldn't matter. but it does, he seems to be in or around regular sort of fellow. the seems to be um, cognizant of what the real problems on the ground, like j d, that's in a nearby republican party headquarter. competing is also kicking into higher. their methods may look old fashioned, but they talk plays a big role here to the public. and so also ready to fight for every single vote if they had a $179.00 new registrations. and we had 193 in the

city. you can see that actually we're outpacing the, the next door, gold coins and guns are on offer a chuck erickson's shop. he believes trade events doesn't. it's just something new to drumstick good. but that he also could secure republican power for did years to come. i thought it was a good young gentleman and he has a lot of experience as military experience also. and he also it. yep. and course in the government now. and he's a just a role. well rounded, suburban type of a person more than a person from the city of it's got a different different viewpoint. what the country should be. it's been ours. jeffrey and his colleagues are still not on tours. we all the al serra run and i don't know which way of those and there are some positive and negative things

about all the again, the child care and i'm just trying to make up my mind. they will continue their work to election day knowing that the next chapter of american history will be written in towns like the course is to the u. k. now was the last coal fired power station has been shut down after being in operation since 1968, the closure of the rock cliff on sol power station in central england ends. the u. k. is centuries long reliance on coal. the british government has pledge to generate all of its energy from carbon neutral sources by the 21st. the person is the 1st g 7 member to end cold power generation and the w corresponding to get mass joins us now from ratcliffe on. so the good,

good to see, you know, this is a historic moment for the u. k. as in tit yes. and it is really a big moment. i mean in the u. k, it was the fast cold fired power station to actually spring in tax. and the at 90 in century on the country has lied. huge li on cold. of course, it was one of the hubs for the industrial revolution. then it, at some point employed over 1000000 people, the colored industry. so it's been has the massive roll and development of the u. k . and now this country is the 1st and the g 7 to actually not rely on cold power anymore. as recently as 10 years ago, um cool was responsible for almost half of the energies. so the u. k really has come a long way in a fairly short amount of time and that obviously is a huge win for, for climate, but also for app solution. absolutely. can you tell us how the shutting down of this copeland fits into the u. k. is the emissions reduction targets

the u. k. has an emissions targets. it was actually the 1st country that set of itself legally binding targets that was done by the previous labor government. but then also it was streamlined by the conservative government. so that used to be cross party support. that's the good news. also the u. k has come a long way in dekalb and rising, but the bad news is it's really not on track. so the government's own advisors saying that much more needs to be done if the u. k. ones to reach its own climate targets by 2030 and then india. and that 0 by 2050. and not more needs to be done when it comes to the colonizing. so not just the energy sector with us. also other sectors like industry, for example, in transport. so look, no more needs to be done. but what about how versus think about this? i mean, how important is the topic of climate change amongst versus in the u. k. and is

that reflected in the current governments clements and emissions reductions goals? yes, it's interesting. and the u. k. a action on climate change is generally put futile . that's was also one of the policies of, of the labor policy, what which they contained on and they one of course, the re elect since they have set quite ambitious targets. they say they want to be a clean energy superpower on this space. behind me. this coal fired power plant is going to be the commissioned and demolished, and when it comes to the council here, they want to see a clean energy and tech hub. so they want to tell a very positive story and the labor government will hope that this also translates to other parts of the country. they want to continue to bring the vases with them, but a long way to go still. the w corresponding book at mass reporting from

a very rainy ratcliffe on. so book it stay dry and thank you so much for bringing us up to date the and here's a quick reminder about top stories out the south. israel is military says its troops have entered the southern level beginning a long anticipation of ground offensive. meanwhile, the militant group has, the law says it has fired missiles. it is rainy's intelligence headquarters near tel aviv, where explosions, i'm fires have been upset. the full of adults prime minister amount for a to a has taken over that as nato secretary general versus said he did not see an eminent for us as most sca using nuclear weapons in response to nature's support for ukraine and the country's defense did not end of the russian border and britain has shut down its last coal fired power station, the ratcliffe on sol pallet station in central england ends. the u. k. centuries

alone. reliance on coal making in the 1st g 7 country to end cold power generate. that is we have time for, i'll be back to the top of the hour. thank you for watching the,
