the i bring golf is good to have you with us on this thursday. new is rarely airstrikes of hit the lebanese capital. southern b root has come under increasing bombardment in the last 24 hours as israel's steps up. it's campaign against hezbollah. mill wasn't. lebanon's health minister says that in the past year, such attacks have killed nearly 2000 people. more than a $120.00 of them killed. plumes of smoke below across a root sky line. after a night of heavy is really bombardment of the on the ground. huge mountains of rubble is still smoldering. this building was targeted by missiles residents of the area

via the situation will only get was either good, lucky to the view of the killed is waiting soldiers on the border of what they come and kill people here. as i get busy with that, why that is, if there was a building, they will damage it. well, this is what they're able to do and that way after you take it away, i was sitting at home and suddenly we heard a loud sound. we had targeted this army killed organization which is a rescue. so is an all that as dental, the building of civilians and the dog. those with the end of the wounded and help others because a lot of strikes took place in the early hours of the morning. i just shortly off to the idea of had issued and a love to be reached. residents to evacuate several neighborhoods in the south of

the city. israel has stepped up its attack, so 11 them in recent days. in what it says, a targeted strikes to eliminate hezbollah militants, and bring safety back to its own northern buddha. israel on me for 2 chairs, what they say a night ariel attacks on specific areas in southern lebanon near the is really buddha. and now the idea of clip shows soldiers on the ground, in an unspecified location in lebanon. a following the attacks lebanese prime minister, now g, me, kaji, denounced what he called the criminal aggression by israel against the not been these people and called for a ceasefire. that'd be very but israel says it has now sent

a 2nd military division into lebanon. assigned the opperation, the not slowing down with the fighting and living on is the latest front and then escalating conflict in the middle east. israel says that it is fighting what didn't cause it runs axis of evil since the start of the war and gaza, almost all iran back groups had stepped up their attacks on israel. our next report looks at the variety of threats that are now facing the country. more strikes and 11 known as these real continues itself. durations against the militant group has ball a. this is just one of several fronts in the region where the country is facing threats . prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel is fighting for survival as a citizens who is violated in a campaign against the round axis of evil, of what he's calling. the axis of evil is known on the opposing side as the axis of

resistance. it's an informal block of it runs allies and trucks is often acting in its interest around ruled by clerics since the revolution in 1979 has the m. b sense of a regional superpower. take run, consider is israel and the us it's main and i'm is trying to cripple its economy and diminish its influence. i see a muslim majority country. it also looks to expand this branch of islam in the region. that's why it has to rely on partners. sharon gets religious affiliation like his ball and 11 on the militant group has received hundreds of millions of dollars every year from a round for weapons and training. it's believed to have more than a $100000.00 rockets. his ball also has tons of thousands of fighters and of wide network of tunnels. just like come us and the guys as trip. although these group considered terrorists by the us and to you, has been depleted by

a you are fighting. iran has denied it, helped him us to prepare the tax on these real on october the 7th, but its supreme laser price, them those. as for this thing, the phone call, you request the full ahead phone before the end of the of the intelligent engraved palestinians who planned these attacks. again, i don't know the guy in his, today's team elsewhere in the region to run has also been relying on support of its traditional ally, the syrian government, as well as on simulations in iraq. and the who is the rebels. examine the group has been receiving a run support and its fight against the military coalition. lead by, ty, runs, major rivals, saudi arabia after the south of the war and gaza, who with these began targets in israel, as well as international shipping routes in the red sea. they say their attacks will continue in the many um,

for us is the less the 2nd devaney in operation the true promise against is while the on to confirm the readiness to participate in any joint military operations against the is writing the enemy with the law, the it's a lot a to as of the, it's not clear how much power iran has over it's broke, sees in the region that run claiming they act independently. but the rising number of their attacks on these rail suggests they are becoming increasingly important for around struggle. for power in the region. well, earlier i spoke with john linden, he's the executive director of the alliance for middle east peace, which brings together is really and palestinian peace building organizations was in paris. and he told us how much of hezbollah strength is homegrown and not just sponsored by iran. i mean, all of these proxies are obviously different to each other in important ways. but they do draw upon the well spring of, of local supports for,

for hezbollah and lebanon. and it's really the legacy of the civil war, the devastated the concrete state collapse really, that's taking place in the last 10 years. and the legacy which has black tries to claim an awful lot of st. credit around of ending as well as 20 or occupation of southern lebanon. um, obviously does she, i sort of that base within labinata. it's a very fractured society, but it's, it's the largest single share within the secretary. and so the mix of let the new society, there's high degrees of support amongst street lebanese, but also high degrees of opposition amongst the rest of the lebanese society at over half of lebanese people in a poll taken before this war. so they had little or no trust and as blah, i mean, but what you see is a common denominator. and this is true. it's with home us in, in, in, in, in palestine as well. it's feeding off and you know, the collapse of society and conflict and support base is coming from people who are, you know, suffering from decades of trauma of ongoing conflict between the palestinians and

israel. and you know, i happen to believe that the best way to be able to counter the, the reservoir of support for these militant groups is to really push towards genuine conflict resolution to end of the cycle of trauma which recruits new people to these movements. instead of diplomatic horizon that can actually inspire young people to embrace non violent tools towards transformation which everybody does deserve. this situation does need to change. there are hundreds of thousands of pallets any refugees living in lubbock know, and i assume that that is fertile ground. it's like cherry picking for hezbollah. i am really more so for the palestinian organizations operating inside 11 on so run 10 percent of the of the lebanese population are published in any refugees. and part of sending assignments you had from us both operate and 11 on the do cooperate with has belie the leader of that or from us and elaborate on was actually assassinated in the last week or so. and, and there's

a strange relationship with has blog. i mean, it's important to know if there is a bit of a my enemies enemy is my friend aspect of it. but also hezbollah were responsible for killing many palestinians in refugee come some serious during the serial a civil war. most particularly in the are moved come where people are starved to death by a siege that was laid down by boats bus driver side and has black. so it is complex and i don't think there's a natural affinity what there is, and this is something around really plays off is a shared grievance that lives around to project its power from 2000 kilometers. why? and again, if we chip away at the grievance, i think we chip away at a ryan's ability to do just ask, what about inside the living? no, i know. i mean, would we find any living on based in g o's that are working for, for piece that she said, or for conflict mediation? or yeah, i mean, there's so many ways in which labinata reminds me, a lot of those is around them. i'm palestine, i mean one is that there's a very strong lattice work event. jose inside, let them know because of the weakness of the stays. and jose have been providing

many of the services on the emergency. release me from the b root, add port blast to the financial collapse and know that this does this war. and they've also been trying to tie together some of the secretary and differences that really exploded in not civil war. what's difficult is them having a direct relationship with his writing and palestinian peace building and joe's because contact between lebanese citizens and his riley citizens as prescribed. and it's actually something quite practical. i think we can try to work on to fix if you imagine a group of people in 11 on israel apollo starting the wider region to share the same values and agendas piece, a quality regional security. being facilitated, encouraged to work together to really end this decades long, and that a separation of 19 normalization and norm that has presented these coalitions of, of actors that want peace, justice, and equality to see each other as allies, western countries, arab states. there could be a concerted effort to try and take away the prohibition and begin to allow these

people to form those sort of networks. we have one that all that the most is ready to use and pop over 160 n g goes. but imagine if we had lebanese egyptian syrians, jordanians joining at the same scale, i'm not saying that they would make up the majority of the overall population of the region, but collectively they would be a very, very strong network against the sort of violence and injustice. we're seeing spiral right now. john lennon with the alliance for middle east peace, talking about the, the search for the strong thank you. thank to our, let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. britain is giving up sovereignty of the chug those islands to maurice. yes, ending a decades long dispute resistance claimed the archipelago, the indian ocean since getting independence from britain as part of the deal. brittany will retain the year, so they joined us u. k. military base for which it evicted the islands entire population in the 19 sixties and seventies soldiers and mexico had opened fire on migrants and killing 6

and wounding 12 that happened to the popular smuggling roots in the southern. in the state of chiapas, the defense ministry says the vehicle carrying the migrants tried to evade the military patrol or that the soldiers mistook them for gang members. after hearing gunshot, a court in singapore has sentenced a former minister to one year in prison for receiving illegal gifts. so rock money um is for rod pleaded guilty to taking more than $300000.00 in gifts as transport minister. now his conviction is a rarity in single forcing the port is ranked as one of the world's least corrupt nations. flights have resumed at a japanese airport after an american award war 2 bomb exploded just moments you see right there after a passenger plane taxi pass. there were no injuries, dozens of flights for cancel that the mia zaki airport in the south, which by the way was a navy base during the 2nd word more staying and that part of the world that type

the in crowd tone has made landfall in taiwan to south western coast to ritual rain and fierce winds have already killed and these 2 people in injured hundreds more. now residents are hunkering down for the types of jobs for forest as it's i passes over the island are reported. james jeter is also inside the store. powerful wind and rain, pummeling tie ones highly populated southwest, a tight seam cross on how the the clothes familia, day, longer than 1st full cost before crushing into the major port. city of go shown on thursday. the touch screen with someone weaker than expected, but still packs costs of more than 200 kilometers per hour. some parts of east and taiwan requoted more than one and a half for me to. as of right, you can see many of the trees behind me have been snaps in hoff by the strength of

the winds from this type food. some of those have had with that leaves essentially completely strips bad. the risk and dangerous the flying debris away authorities continues to a residence to stay at the time. so those in taiwan south, it's a 3rd consent to today of new total knock down some money. this is a rare experience just to possibly see the buy from. i and just more than 20 years old, i wouldn't say i'm excited because there'll be lots of damage and i hope the damage won't be too severe and i'll tell you what, but as you can control mutual. so when there's such an opportunity royals, everyone can have a look at what the problem is like. because at that point, that even some 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 would meet urologist coolants movement. strange with one time when these official saying it could be among the slowest

moving type, things ever observed. that means as it moves across the orleans, there's more time for the type students to bring chaos to tie one. tens of thousands of troops remain on standby to assist with recovery efforts. a different weather now to war, a air raid sirens sounded twice today and keep as new nato secretary general mark router visited the ukrainian capital on his 1st official trip since taking office the he met with you currently and president, board of me is a wednesday discussing the battlefield as well as what ukraine calls its victory plan. with his pledge, the alliance has continued support for ukraine, and it's more against russia, but it is member states not native itself that calls the shots on military supplies to keep this listen in now to the press conference earlier today to bring it 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 why 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 arbosso's corresponding christine. one way she followed that speech for us . i ask you to tell us more about ruth has remarks that ukraine is closer to nato than ever before. yeah, brampton unites a secretary general say 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, we ukraine would be a nato member and that 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 c t in is fight against russia branch. and so is it just mortgage or what will ukraine get out of this very 1st trip by the new nato boss? as well, brings out 2 things. yeah. one of the things that ukraine's primitive regarding me is that in ski discussed with mockery. so 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 you crane's right to defending itself, didn't stop at the board. and now that is really touching at the poor if 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 stripe targets minifie targets inside russian territory. the logic being damage some of that infrastructure before it can cause damage in ukraine. this meeting comes, they hit a and they, to a meeting that we're expecting in the coming days at the rum stein air base in germany. we know that russell on his part has committed to working on the peace 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 this war dw, as christine was helping us to get used to a new name and a new face at the top of nato. christine, thank this. thousands of protesters marched through berlin today on german

unity day, following a call from the initiative. never again more and the left wing populous politicians are bog. and can i asked you heads the party that also bears her name? how many cherry banners calling for an end to arms deliveries to ukraine other for justin's help signs expressing solidarity with palestinians and calling for an end to israel's quote occupation tara barton can next was the rallies main speaker. she is a vocal critic of germany's and support for ukraine, her critics to say that she is an apology for russian president vladimir putin in here are some of the voices from today's demonstration here in berlin to do it now. yeah, it's been like, well, i'm here today because i think we have a lot of terrible wars in the world you're going to have and i want to cnn to them . and it's been up here with us. is a disbanded bad, bad. and my more and more width ends up being sent to war zones and to ukraine.

there's now a discussion about the government. i'm forces mission in gaza. and we don't want to be part of that. and want to say clearly that we stand for the tone and diplomacy that this honest build up must come to an end. and that what's needed instead is funding for social issues, education and health. something is really doing the key. i'm anti war because i can see that we're dancing dangerously on a knife edge towards world war 32004 get the key. and when i heard the news again this morning from the wrong and from israel and palestine, you saw, i felt really, really uneasy. how can you use guns guns cause to pick a this is so i think it is so shameful. that's when all of show says that supplying weapons is not participating in war. and this is, what does that mean, quoting, and there is always something more rhetoric that goes on and also in relation to palestine. there's been, it's been one year and more than $40000.00 people are dead, including $15000.00 children houses. and that's not something you can just except for the funds from the top walker to all the main thing for us is no will now they

have to stop in this blog. rivers of it was the w corresponded, alexander guess, has more now from the demonstration, a thousands of dollars in the city. send that to send a message for a piece, but also a message against alms deliveries to ukraine and to israel. this called as that's true and rather unusual unity here on the streets. we had the representatives of the social democratic parties of the tribes. nobody here ad together with people from the next week populous vs w. a pod you is rather known for sharing ro, crammed a narrative and also conservative for the vision. where here, together with you and said, well difficult, active is some of them. i also use a israel wiggly killing civilians, children and women, and even babies, and also accusing as of a genocide,

accusations that is really the quotes refutes none the less the majority of this demonstration here was peaceful and many, many people have made clear where to start with the current, the current way of how the german government is happening in the notion of the crises was always going to guess reporting here in berlin. well, 34 years ago today, communist east germany officially joined the west, germany, ending for decades of division, germans as a whole lot shelves and germany president find walters. don myers today, attend to the ceremony inch failed in. that's a city in the form of your funding. it's east germany. reunification happened the less than a year after the fall of the berlin wall in november of 1989. but decades after reunification, germany remains politically divided. the right wing populace, the anti immigration party. the alternative for germany or the deep party is on the rise, especially in the former east or 35 years after the fall of the berlin will

germany's lodging towards the rights, especially in what was once communist east, germany, the populace, empty immigration a if the party is on the rise the eye of the promised his life and freedom implying that germany is not a free country by positioning itself as an add to the peaceful revolution of 1999. the eye of the anglo civil rights activists like frank e. but he was in the vanguard of those who fought for freedom in east germany. back then as a civil rights activist and the communist dictatorship, he was the lot to be able to live in a democracy, desktops, vicki a and dodd's and ha, what we have here in germany. in my view, one of the freest societies in the world is the legacy of the peaceful revolution above all that legacy consists of making it possible for 16000000 inhabitants at the time, i believe, to live in freedom do because yourself inquired. so leaving the peaceful resolution, hundreds of thousands of citizens of the communist east,

germany took to the streets. in $19189.00, the dictatorship had come to its end, surprisingly without any violence by the security forces. the billing will so to today b, i s d use a split slogans from bank fund, but their goal is completely different. they preach nationalism and insulation as opposed to democracy and freedom of the city of tombs. steven, it's up know enough to have been a tom because he's the f body refers to slogans that we used in 1989. so we developed across the breadth of the population. i can afford and edit act as if we still have to complete this revolution that we're living in a certain lack of freedom because we're on the way to a dictatorship and con, another that's going to show. and that's not the case. and that's why i accuse them of misusing the slogans. and it looked up to when does this my tomato, nothing's definitely or, and just being governments or forward is it i didn't smoke missed call 3 dictates

after we unification, gemini seems to be drifting apart again. besides the far right of the, the newly formed b s. w party. it has a chief significant success and regional elections and the ease with policies that us to light between socialism and nationalism. about 35 years ago, it was basic human rights that people are with their lives for the money. so i guessing on this shouldn't be forgotten and everyone uses the freedom they have now, but they should consider how they use it. let's see a, a freedom also have something to do with responsibility. i to equipment fund for them to, to him. frank, ava knows democracy is hard work. he rouse to oppose and renew division of germany and stand up for freedom. where as a reminder, now the top stores were following. israel has carried out new here strikes on the roots, which lebanese authorities, a wounded medical workers. it comes as is really ground forces in southern lebanon, and federal has full of fighters. nobody's authority say more than

a 1000 people have died in 2 weeks of air strikes. watching the w news. he'll go is up at the top of the hour with mobile new the, the

answer of the conflict zones with sarah kelly. ukraine says that a recent incursion into russian territory has made a mockery of fruit and red lines, and that the west should go haul in to help when the war i discussed the options with the finish for administer alina about. tony, thanks for having me. so how does she see the prospect of turning the side and brushes in phrasing of ukraine? conflict? next, on d, w goes down and so didn't cities, the bomb shelters and nuclear bunkers from the cold war.

the east, germany's underground secrets are gradually being uncovered. and some are even do you need excessive both a visitor, but only under strict security protocol in 45 minutes on d w the to the set of 2023. how much loan has a terror attack as well? it is the bloody estate in the history of the jewish states and the beginning of the war and gaza one year and they said we examined the backgrounds of the attack. how could it happen? and what he thinks has the attack had on israel's posit capital,

tel aviv focus on one here as well, how most will starts october 5th on dw, the ukraine says that it's recent incursion into russian territory has made a mockery of pollutants red lines. and that the west should go all in to help it when the war. i discuss the options with the finish for administer alina volkswagen, on conflicts down. finland knows a lot about red lines from russia across one last year when it decided to advance in the decades of neutrality in favor of joining nato. and given its expansive border, defending against aggression from moscow, has always been a cor focus. so how does she see the prospect of turning the tide in rushes, invasion of ukraine and what other threats to cc on the horizon. for example, in.
