slowing down or more now i'm joined by a journalist is stella manor. she is in be rude seller. what is the latest on the situation? they're in bay route. just a couple of minutes. okay, is there any ami a stroke? they routes uh, 3 times. the sound of the explosions was the loudly hers here in the city. shortly afterwards, we were hearing the sirens of uh, i'm getting lenses that were driving through the city. these attacks come shortly after everyone's still being on the shock of the, of the latest attack during the nice these regular army had to target to the area. but sure, which is really in the heart of the city. what more can you tell is still about the clashes at the southern border to well, at the moment,

everything indicates that the fighting in the border region is heavy league going on. this is where it is they has paula. paula said that they fired at least 20 missiles and rockets towards israel. they already uh said that they had targeted or at least sent rockets to the uh, is there a town to betty a um there i have also being a report by the is where any army saying that at least a 8 soldiers has been wounded. this number could become even higher. now, s has bullet, has just announced that they have used a phone on the ground and up on, on against is there any soldiers? we understand when liberty soldier was reportedly killed and several others injured . but it's worth noting the liberties army have so far stayed out of this conflict, right. or do we know why or how to susan use coming

in, getting more and more and by now it's all ready to liberties. soldiers that has been killed. the news just came in before we started talking so far the live in his army was not involved. indeed in the fighting. um, it is mpo its, uh, the pro, it's in the, in this house of live on, on because it's working there together with uni for the un peacekeeping mission. the main task is more to morning tore the situation. and the 1st lived on a soldier who was reported to be killed was killed during an evacuation and rescue mission on the ground. and we don't know more about the circumstances of the death of the 2nd. the new soldier right now, some living eastern could media report that the liberties army has attacked and fired back at is really army due to the killing of these 2 um soldiers. but so far

i don't have confirmation from the nice army itself. journalist, it's still a mentor and they read with the lady is on a day there to sing a lot of volatility for sure. stella. thank you. rachel irene's. it sounded twice today as new nato secretary general mark router visited keith on his 1st official trip since taking office. he met with you granting and president board of me is the lensky discussing the battlefield, as well as what is known as ukraine's victory plan. route has pledge the alliance has continued support for ukraine. it's more against russia, but it is the member states, not nato itself. the states which called the shots on military supplies to keep. let's take a listen now to the press conference for just a short while ago. ukraine is closer to nature than ever before. and will continue on this pass until you become a member of our alliance. i very much look forward to that.

and this is vice. we are still committed to supporting your pay because your security matters for hours and your fight for freedom reflects our court is supposed to develop our brussels corresponding interesting $1.00 way she followed that speech for us. and i, as soon as i was more about rudest remarks that ukraine is closer to nato than ever before. yeah, brain thing united, the secretary general said today that ukraine was on a pulse today to membership and that part could not be reversed. he said there was a day in the future where ukraine would be a nato member, and then russia doesn't get a vote or a veto on that. it was important. margaret just said for him, right at the start of his mandates to make this trip to kids. to reassure kids off of nato supports as an ally and it has continued support at 2 teeth in it's fight against russia branch. so is it just mortgage,

or what will ukraine get out of this very 1st trip by the new nato boss? it will bring down 2 things. yeah. one of the things that ukraine's primitive regarding me is that in sky discussed with mach rizzo was of course the situation on the battlefield. presidency, landscape victory plan and what is needed for that. and you can guess more wisdom weapons are needed. but the crucial issue now is how far ukraine's right to defend itself goes on. the part of the secretary general, he said, ukraine's rights of defending itself didn't stop at the board. and now that is really touching at the core of the issue right now with ukraine is asking washington, specifically for the permission to use the missile that have been supplies by the west to strike ministry targets inside russia. we know that washington has been his, the central fed, it's hesitating to give the green lights on that because of fears of escalation. if it were up to margaret's at that permission would have been given yesterday. so to

say, but it is again, it is up to nato a member states to make this decision and not the alliance necessary, but we know that there is hesitation. so ukraine, 2 things more weapons for the ukrainians is what they want. but also the permission to be able to strike targets minifie targets inside russian territory. the logic being damage some of that infrastructure before it can cause damage in ukraine. this meeting comes ahead of the nature of meeting that we're expecting in the coming days at the lunchtime air base in germany. we know that russell on his part has committed to working on the piece networks, including whoever is elected in the united states, off to the election, to securing more support, showing up more with some support for ukraine in the school dw, as christine was helping us to get used to a new name and a new face at the top of nato. christine, thank or here's the look. now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, britain is giving up sovereignty of the church on those islands to mariska gets

be too severe. i'll tell you what, but actually con, control mutual. so when that are such an opportunity, royals, everyone can have a look at what the item is like. because at that point, that even somehow it's cross on the sense of we can into a tropical depression as it moves along the islands west in coast where the vast majority of taiwan is population lives with me to urologist coolants movement. strange with one time when he is official saying it could be among the slowest moving type things ever observed. that means as it moves across the islands, there's more time for the type students to bring chaos to tie one, a tens of thousands of troops remain on standby to assist with recovery efforts or streams change and reporting. there is a reminder now of our top story is real, has carried out new air strikes on the roots, which eliminates authorities of se wounded medical workers. it comes as is really ground forces in southern lebanon battle has full of fighters,

less beneath lebanese authorities say more than a 1000 people have died in 2 weeks. of air strikes. check in is up. next, i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news. i hope to see you then the on the from lines under the watchful eyes of russian will star as he's just gonna read to you for you. in the 1st year, the new crane journalist shown line good reports and from the russian occupied pass regions. if they're still good, what else to do is get to stop by tomorrow and you've got another thing you probably read just as well do usually to next festival to west and media are close to look at some.
