the, the, this is the w news live from balance. israel begins the ground defensive in lebanon . it's conducting what it calls a limited operation. seeing, seeking to disable hezbollah miller treat was the lebanese residents near the border to leave the homes. and there are reports of intense slicing between is there any forces on the iran backs millison group also coming up on the program, a changing of the go on and a time of crisis. the former prime minister mock for us that takes over the reins of may. so he says, the defense of he crane doesn't, and the russian border wall downplaying most goes trends of nuclear retaliation.

and it powered versus industrial revolution and was an indispensable source of energy for centuries. but now the u. k becomes the 1st major economy to completely phase out cold power. the i'm on youtube mckinnon. great to have you with us. israel says it's troops conduct, sing what it calls, limited raids in southern lebanon, in an effort to stop has blocked attacks, the army, one of the residents of lebanese communities near the border to evacuate. be around, back to group has ballade denies. that is really, troops are in lebanon. these really military says it's ground forces won't into any cities, and will conclude operations as soon as possible. i as israel continues to fund it, and missiles into lebanon on the ground is sending trucks carrying

tanks across the board, into southern lebanon to undertake what he is really minute tree is cooling. a targeted operation 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 on us to do 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 low d, the lebanese capital b root, 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 as it wishes. that

i am, in my opinion, is only a small possibility that is where it will be successfully, liquids. the resistance remains from me 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 ga, so it's a result of his inability to achieve the so called total victory and gaza. 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 it's flying to. is it ready to retaliate against the ground? defensive bias. ro, john lift stella mina? isn't they root and miles trulia? what she's hearing about the situation on the ground and self i'm living on for every thing we hear from the house live on is quite contradictory. we have to say the israeli army set 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 and i asked 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. going use another channel here is closing a spokesperson for municipal, the un peacekeeping troops and south live on, on. and this person is closer to be to 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. and we cannot get the latest from israel with journalist spelling flooding, who joins us from tel aviv doug. we're getting reports that are wrong, is preparing to launch a ballistic missile at israel. do you have any of the details on that festival? to yes, the soldiers in israel are confirming what the white house i said earlier today that could be amended to rainy and attack uh may be in the coming get 10 to 12 hours. so tonight id. same thing like what happened to april? um, uh, and when a brown has lost large scale drawings and ballistic missiles towards as row, it's not clear whether we're going to see the same amount of missed sold them projectiles or maybe more because of the fact that is uh, basically with its own wise have the failed the reading in the back in april, uh,

by 99 percent of these and do it to buy it or something. so it'd be 99 percent of the bridge of tile. so while we have those down that according to the, to the report, that the goal is actually the aimed in the air base of military air base is also the will start headquarters, the intelligence headquarters know to tell a v with the radians that will frame this at the top floor of the as a nation, i mean yet, and also this is a nation, one of their commanders alongside the invite route last week. i don't think i'm, that's my only assumption that they will say that this is that event for less than all of them. because after all, the will lead that up to explain why would be a revenge. and that's one of the, but definitely they will try to deter, is route from continuing that they're basically of, that's according to these are in the assessment in a very hard situation. now very weak spot because they don't know what to do to,

to retaliate or to leave before it is uh, i'm just gonna decide from the proxies. okay, we just had a root correspondent saying, but there are conflicting reports of whether or not a ground incursion is actually happening in, in southern lebanon on can you remind us what the is radio authorities all saying about that to yes, let's stick with what we have from the body, the idea of spokesperson this of the will conduct rates along the a is writing no say boy, that he didn't say that them all ready incursions into or into the cells of level not. but we also saw a video oh, back to previous raised that as well conducted with special forces at least 70 rates. that road has the carried out throughout the world the month that by the special forces getting into the tunnel. and also this method reduced

all of this month of the cable box is the structure in general, which means the reviews of operations have already happened. but maybe from now leave, we're just still talking about possible um the rates that will be conducted, it'd be coming out of both. it basically has to be conducted yet, but less than the straight. and that's from these rivers perspective, as the lives of, in a very weak spot of the doesn't want to lose its image as the perfect or limit on. and maybe that's why they're still repeating the fact to the soul repeating the issue. that there is no the is 80 incursion and to live in on until now, i'll explain reporting from tennessee plenty. thanks i let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. and the wiki leaks found the julian assault, which has made his 1st public address since he was released from a british prison assault or spoke of the council of europe. and strauss book,

he said, he pled guilty to journalism and that he chose freedom, unattainable justice. when striking a deal to avoid the prison telling me, he says round the world food program says around hoff of hayes, he's population is suffering from acute hunger. the un agencies latest report shows more than 5000000 people on the island are struggling to feed themselves on the families. the hunger emergency is being linked to gang violence and runaway inflation. south korea has showcased its most powerful ballistic missile for the 1st time. it can penetrate deep below ground and destroy underground bunk cuz at a ceremony for armed forces day president union, so kill one north korea that it attempts to use nuclear weapons. it will be the end of the regime. most your approval, one of nato is longest serving top officials, x ray generally and felt and bug as handed over the reins to the form adults. prime

minister mock for up to and a ceremony at the military alliance has headquarters in brussels. stoughton buck handed over the gavel to his successor, who said he can't wait to get still said stone bug said the router has the perfect background, often juggling the interests of full coalition government in the netherlands of the sermon neighbor to spoke to reporters and admitted that the situation on ukraine's bustle failed is difficult, but he added that russia's advances do come at a very high cost. he also said you cranes rights to self defense does not end edits 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. a sort of 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. 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 darren relationships with you, craig, and we also have to be cleared. it's not a single button, single rep, and the alone will return to work. but obviously, this isn't important to you, but i'll step russel's peer a chief alexander phone number and to tell us more about month versus top priorities as the new ne t. well, not to go to a name today. uh, 3 uh, top priorities uh, stepping up support for kids and bringing cue crane closer to the alliance is one of them. increasing defense and military spending across the alliance is the 2nd priority. and the 3rd for you or to you for my computer,

is to deepen 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 post straight on without a honey per year or a grace period. and i think that towards uh, the allies were hosting for so with a to b or so 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 at the moment that he was probably thinking that i bos, 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, bad to go to today a stress that so he worked close together with donald trump when he was in the white house. he even who to even against trump, credits for pushing allies towards spending more on defense and also identifying china as a big challenge for the swans 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 the topic that he is a bullying unable to work with whoever will, when,

when the ways before the white house. and he is, of course, as we've been saying, a very experienced politician. he was a 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 many here hope that that will mean close a cooperation with the p and union as a blog, as you said before to it knows a do a p and leaders. he spends a many days together with them negotiating, 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 home 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 need to do more for their defense, they wants to as to ramp up the weapons of production. and they want to come out and know it's more when it comes to buying new weapons, but that is also, and 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 a router is probably the right man to, to, to make sure that the u. s. need so will strengthen their cooperation and steep and partnership in the future. alexandra, thank you so much for bringing us up to date that that's dw is alexandra phenomenal . thank you. to the u. k. now, when the last coal fired power station has been shut down off to being in operation

since 1968, the closure of the rock flip on sole power station in central england ends. the u. k is centuries long reliance on coal. the pressures government has pledged to generate all of its energy from carbon neutral sources by the 21st. the russian is the 1st g 7 member to end coal power generation. and some more on this we can bring in michael nicholson from the institute for european environmental policy u. k. that's the think tank for sustainable. let's say welcome to dw, thanks so much for your time today. as we were just saying, the u. k is the 1st major economy to completely phase out coal power. uh you must be celebrating today. absolutely as a major achievement on the bose, the labor party and the concepts you've got governance of recent years ought to be

proud of this. did you expect this to happen so quickly? i mean has this come sooner than expected a little bit sooner and the plan was to, um, stays out call by 2025. um, and actually the, the, the, the, the, the, the decreasing call use has some very, very quickly from 2012 elmwood square cold and accounted for about 40 percent of our electricity. i don't know, but at the same period. so just in 12 years we've gone from around 6 o, 4 percent full wind and solar energy. but it's a remarkable turn around. okay, so just to just to help help us understand how close the u. k. now is to reaching this goal that it has of generating its energy from the call

. the neutral power source is by 20. so see, so what, what is the level of, of renewable energy in the u. k. right now. thank you. and it will well over a half way, but i'm gas and in full to gas in particular is still a major parts of all energy mix. i'm not really the next challenge, as you've mentioned, right? the beginning that label has this target to have a 100 percent seeing power by 20. so you guys actually 5 years earlier than the previous conservative administration. and i'm will need to apply the same lessons to gas. and as to what we've done with coal over this last quote, the periods. and of course that begs the question, is there enough, sola enough wind energy to provide enough power to cover the nation's needs?

it is absolutely, and it is a very ambitious goal, but the governing length of pots you'd put in place on that, but we're already well into the 20 twenty's. now. absolutely. conversations that we can add, doable on show wins and trickles so that in quadruple off. so we processing and studies have shown that we all going to be able to get quite close to that. and that can only be a good thing for a set for that people can care about environments and find them. mm hm. and let's talk about how people feel about this. i mean, as you say, you know, some people a very clear that they support renewable energies. but how did people in general feel about this? coal stays out the vehicles. people can be hesitant, they can be none of us calling today about change. absolutely, i mean you've got to remember that all has been in the u. k. at least

a gradually declining for quite a while. the number of people in all cold industry has, has been declining for quite a long time now. but people are worried about the cost of living. they're worried about energy prices and going forward. we all going to need to make saw that we've got crises as low as possible to help people. we're going to need to help people with energy efficiency measures unprotected. the economy for changes which are coming. you know, people are increasingly driving more electric us and installing heat pumps and things like that and, and we've got to protect the economy. so the i revolution, which i will, that town, she's going to be very entity is up in tennessee. so the blow where it's, i'm but, but, but i think the, there are funds in place and un, under government and the previous it conserves istation. i've been thinking about this for quite a while now. michael nicholson from the institute for european environmental policy,

u. k. michael, thank you so much for your time. we really appreciate it. and here a few more stories making headlines around the world today with relations melted as an above average rates this year after a hot summer. fine to say that they will hopeful that abundance know full in the region last winter and spring would flow over of us glacial melting, but instead that's been record losses. the monitoring agency says the trends could spelt exhaust the switzerland's glasses. in thailand, the school bus with 40 full passengers cool fire on a field trip near the capital bank called a local official says $23.00. both of these have now been recovered. police believe the explosion was still said by a tele spock, then ignited a gas cylinder. prime minister pay tongue tongue she now what visited the hospital with the volume is

a being treated. depends parliament is elected. she grew if she but as the countries knew, prime minister, the liberals that macross is tossed with restoring confidence in the scandal, plague government, she says he plans to cool and election later in october. you replace assume you casita, who govern for 3 is the republican and democratic candidates for us, vice president jdw events and symbols will face each other for the 1st time. tonight, the mission is to convince americans to cost the vote for the donald trump or campbell of harris. and no why is that more crucial than in swing states might? pennsylvania dw is washington bureau chief in his port travel to the full mas steel manufacturing hub of jones town in pennsylvania to find out what matches the most to go to 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 why 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 we were out in this area, just canvassing, making sure it was planned on button in november. if you plan on that one above probably. okay. i don't know for now. okay, so studying it, tracking feedback is cool. so therefore jeffrey records people tell him they will vote for the data is then shared with other union representatives. so they know who to return to for another chat,

undecided and decide as some people have already made up their mind. sorry, yeah, i do. i do like 12 busy day. close the borders. i like them a lot because you know, we got enough people and we got enough american people. we don't got enough jobs for them. 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 bite and narrowly one johnstone by a d o. it's in 2020 in 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. well, walls covers a lot of bases. the capital harris may not. although it really shouldn't matter,

but it does. he seems to be in or around regular sort of fellow. it seems to be um, cognizant of what the real problems on the ground, like j d, that's in a nearby republican party headquarters. competing this also kicking into higher their methods may look old fashioned a data 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 next door. gold coins in 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 just for the point 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 or there are some positive and negative things about all the again, isn't out there and i'm just stronger than 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 nurse. so we have time for don't sing for the climate in zimbabwe is up next on eco africa. stay tuned to find out

more about that and my colleague phil guy will be here with you with more international headlines at the top of the next health i'm new kids can and thank you very much for watching daily news and have a lovely day the

the

respect, it's all about what can we check to make sure that's right, sandra, respecting they just studying the new data. it's about being up to date with cameron diaz technologies. i'm trying for the eco way of life, the environment magazine, the co africa next on dw, the how to kick in the south china sea. i'm scared of the trees. why shapes are here? what this is supposed to mean? at the heart of the level come out to decades of chinese expansion is in the i'm in the nation is resisting with the support of

a powerful and i the philippines can definitely count on the united states, how some policies be paid to go into scientists, set of sorts of type of 120 dw. 2 the, you know, one of the things i love the ball to show is discovery and stuff. the blow ideas and innovations to help our communities and the planet also hold. there's so many of them and that's always inspiring. i.
