the the, this is the, the, the news line from that is right. launch is more than a dozen, ask strikes against 11 on capital seventies. all sorry to say 9 people like that after messiah and struck an apartment block in central fe routes. and in the south of the city, israel destroys what it says. it has the last intelligence headquarters. also on the program, thousands of people dropped condo as an overcrowded ferry cap sizes rescue workers are still searching for bombs. and they searching the secretary general as in chief on his 1st trip in the roll block drug test says he wants to make it crystal clear where the alive stands pulse or forcing you try

the answer. okay, welcome to the program. the lebanese capital has been hit by new, as rainy as strikes, southern bailey, which has come under increasing bombardments in the last 24 hours as israel steps efforts campaign against has been on minutes since the evidence health minister says that in the past 2 weeks, these attacks of kill more than a 1000 people claims 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 miss tiles. residents of the area

via the situation will only get was sitting at home and suddenly we heard a loud sound. we had targeted this nomic health organization, which is a rescue. so is an all that as dental the building of civilians and they have the dog. those who attended 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 id f 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 loving him 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. following the attacks lebanese prime minister, now g b kaji denounced what he called the criminal aggression by israel against the lebanese 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 a couple of hours ago. i spoke to joe, this karim, l. g o r e i, who's in the lebanese capital. and he gave me an update when

we had basically a separate tax year, they moved to the one that everybody's talking about was an attack a earlier against a building outside the southern suburbs in an area actually not far away from here, not far away from the government in the area with a single so structure, this is something like a is like names his bullet health center and when it's talking about it because it's the 2nd time that there is. and he's really yes strike that is not limited to the southern suburbs to the stronghold of his bullet. but we had also a text in the southern this up groups. one of them was against a media building office. paula, mind you that we didn't hear much from, from the hist for that media office. the last week's a big basically went under a no profile. but yesterday, suddenly, the invited to all groups of journalists,

all the nation press for a tour through the southern subgroups. and it seems that this attack against this is, will not be attending was today. that is really answer to this media to respond to it yesterday is full and it says claims that with no more people in the building, there was nobody injured. also we had a few hours ago and the tech was, is really i came split. james, was there his phone, the intentions headquarter when i was in the, in the southern subgroups yesterday and to understood, it seems to be like it was a complete course, towns, i guess, even his full a bundle spending it went to other places. was that the area was for tcm. ok that take us to the the for the coming months going on that the border between 11 on an israel the 1st it's really difficult to get an independent picture. this really doesn't get or the is there any media to reports of any, the troop movements in southern?

so all the news we gets here is also use from his phone that is talking about the fee is resistance. they saying that they am at detonated above the middle of the $93.00 gate. that's an is a block. it needs units have a creating casualties to be done to death or ensure that there was a rescue operation. audiences for these really i'm going to bring this so just back at home and the other claims, for example, this is a shot that attacked me. so like it's the this where, 80 tank and several other areas where they engaged in the army. the picture we have it's, it's not that is what it is right now. but as i said, very much information and especially no independent information to be getting it. okay, thanks a lot time i try to scream our garage in favorites, gonna come back to the story in just a moment. first that we'll take a look at some of the stories that making headlines. oil prices of jumped off the

us president joe biden said he was discussing with israel whether it should attack a radiant oil for services. as in vitamins, responding to questions about how is ro would retaliate for around. so we saw the attack utility forces, he doesn't expect israel to strike back immediately. britain is giving up sovereignty of the child goes items to maricia, sending a decades long dispute versus his claim, the archipelago and the indian ocean since gave me independence from u. k. as part of the deal london involved pertain the use of a joint us to obtain ministry based on diego garcia for which evicted guidance, entire population. in the 19 sixties and seventies us in the united states, the death toll from heart can lead, has now reached 200 making the deadly storm to hit the us mainland since 2005 rescue is searching for people still missing sense of how to construct last week,

including north carolina and the state had hottest back to the middle east. and 11th is the latest front in the escalating conflict that israel says it's fighting what he calls a round axis of evil. then sits down to the war and gaza almost all around. fact groups have stepped up better tags on these rail as well as hamas in gaza and has blocked 11 on the include the who's facing gammon. elsewhere in the region to around has been relying on the support of its traditional ally the syrian government as well as on she and malicious and iraq. let's take a closer look at this read. come round to maxine who lectures in international politics and university of sussex in the okay, welcome back to d w. how strong is, has blog at the moment, given that so many layers, if it's leadership, it's being killed, and indeed that communication system so heavily compromised by israel. yes,

it's cindy. i mean the, the below is which is why it has insights. as long as the last leadership is quite unprecedented in terms of communication problems following the page around faulty, talked the explosions in terms of attacking has laws, items that oppose and communication lines and so on. nevertheless, actually steering him back as of his beloved claim that old uh, sold them, come on, just have been replaced. um and at the moment um, there is a shift in the backs of sale because it is right. it has send ground troops into southern lebanon. and that means that uh, the absolute asked interior to you of is, randy. army is no longer quite as large and as we have seen today. and yesterday, they are having already quite a few casualties among the troops. and this is because southern lebanon is quite

a drunkard terrain, and his blood has been for decades, being stuck in, in those places, has underground tunnels. and of course, in close combat, the situation of superior t, at to some extent is, is notified. so i think about some of this is difficult for us, but like even those blows, but in the southern government they might have uh, they might put up for assistance more than what you have seen so far. okay, so israel is in southern lap and on essentially to clear out has bloss so that at hand is right, the citizens can be turned to the north of the country. how successful could an exercise like that be why thing out has blah in lebanon, and indeed how massing dasa when we're talking about organizations that aren't just military, but social and cultural as well. a

special looks neutral is very difficult and this is not the 1st time this really is trying to do so is ryan was already inviting 11 and 1992, which was eventually forced to withdrawal in 2000 largely due to hezbollah as um, actually action. then again in 2006, we had that set to you 4 days war which reached a stalemate. and now again, so the president is not so promising for israel, but this time around. um, it seems that because of the 7 october shot and the level of rent in this of israeli society for casualty is ready, the army might try to. um you know, um basically an officially occupies southern lab and then up to the tiny river. right. so that northern communities of israel are out of range of his beloved tech, but that has to be seen as i said, the mean time flashes. and that is really ease of self of casualties in southern

lebanon. where would you say iran is most vulnerable to? is ray retaliation? i think the, the nuclear facilities are deep onto the ground to many of them. so it might be quite difficult for as they are on its own to destroy them. and even then it would just put back by few years or on there as project has already have the to know how and technology and so on. but the point facilities in energy facilities of iran are quite exposed and as a boiler into a stage. iranian state relies heavily on exports of oil. and if that somehow suspend it, that's when the country, you know, combined with the, the sanctions, massive sanctions which are in, in post on your own already. so it's a combination of the 2 groups, triangle, it, right,

and economy and politics later on is also very fragile. so extra economic pressure might lead to domestic people. but then i've talked, i'm holding facilities, we've also made going prizes higher, and that's not good for find them campaign in the election year. so one has to see how us and his read kind of agree on the course of action, which doesn't damage divide and under democratic elections, as well as in, into the region to walk us through the outcome. run my team from a suffix university in the okay. i know at least 78 people have been reported that killed after a boat counting on scores of people capsized on lake keeper in the democratic republic of congo. and officials say almost $300.00 people were crowded on board the boat and vessel, which was the which was only meant to hole 30 people. the boat sank while trying to

dock in the pool. difficult to cool. after ferrying the passengers across the lake from gomez. several survivors were taken to hospital witness society, so rescue workers put dozens of bodies hours if the desktop is likely to increase as a search continues, a correspondence, as the link sent in the ring in nairobi is monitoring events. welcome to phoenix. what more can you tell us about the rest of your assets? so the rescue efforts have been ongoing for the better part of the day. have to piece particular time rescue as a still trying to get more people who had a sound in uh, live cable. now, uh, governmental jazz portal, prioritize and rescue us from the hospitals nearby about being involved in the rescue of patients and the police headquarters of the area where they was picking

the dead bodies and putting them on the side. and those people who uh, rescued the live, whereas to the nearby hospital assembly and 2 of the children who had been rescued that life succumbed to the injuries while i think was to told him what's being said about the cause of this tragedy. so the costs of the tragedy is of a crowding in the boats and the south people govern not jim percy has expressed disappointment of the fact that a boat that was supposed to carry just thought to people was hiring hundreds of people. and those people who survived said that as a boat approach today, and part of the took away, it was defense to dark. uh, that's when what i started slipping into the boat with it started sinking and eventually it's concise and over time leaving most of those people who are on board

a dead. now. one of the ladies who saw the board thinking and jumped off, the boat was rescued and she said that um, when, when she saw the boat, i was thinking she knew it was probably about time for her to jump overboard. but the reason that this bullets had been tiring and more people had been of a crowd that is because of the conflicts that has been going on between them. 23 soldiers and the government soldiers who have made their rule. it's impossible. and so the safest route for most of the trade does have been bad to use the boats to cross over at lake. i elect people, but most of the time site does it me the bullets out of a crowded end. and they have led to incidents like that of to day where uh, tens of people have been left to dead. okay, thank you for that to see. let's do, they'll be comfortable in the field exploring in nairobi. are you

watching the w and use lie? some bad and still to come. town correspondent travels for us. david could decide november's presidential election. and these people in pennsylvania, we still haven't decided to that voting for so so you try and write simons assigned to twice in the capital s nato's new secretary general. not route to a business executive on the 1st official trip in the role he met with the training president, develop dominion semanski and discussed the ukraine, so called victory fine. but there was a promise. keith, about the ministry on lines would continue to support to crane and his defense against russia's invite. he is at the joint press conference with the training and president to bring 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 why we are still committed to support and your pay. because your security matters for hours and your fight for freedom reflects our court principles and the village of this cause comes a day after the russian soldiers come to the king town in eastern ukraine russians . defense ministry has not confirmed its when invalid and ukraine's dynette beach and video posted on social media pace to show russian troops raising flags across the town. you crate in. forces that retracing to avoid being surrounded. victory at the intersection of 2 battlefields could make it easier for russia to break through ukraine's defensive lives on this from industry analyst at marine, a mirror on from the king's cottage in london. welcome back marina. on both sides. they've been fighting over this, this time for 2 years. um,

what is it that changed? why did you crane lose control for the a good evening, phil. well, the 1st issues that we have to consider is the ringing operation and curtis. conversely, it last several very important defense pillars of the bringing on forces understaffed and of course, recreating doesn't have enough for the delivery shells. it's trying to supplement with drones. and so those 2 places would be across and booklet dark which has now full interruption control. also is the russians from their side. they have adjusted their tactics. they're using a lot of a fobs in order to shape the battlefield. so to say, and it's quite demoralizing for the korean armed forces located there. and they are trying to attack along the flanks. so they, they have worked out

a tactical approach, which seems to be working with o 3 branch or 2 branches working in coordination. so the air force, the army aviation and, and the russian army. and is this a significant when for russian forces in the era to well, it is because with our is firstly a good, the defensible position is located on the height. the 2nd thing is that it opens up a way for the russians to cross over, which is if, if, if you look at the map, uh, and you look at the river located, there's a north of gr, off of it would be difficult to storm from the north so that now the russians have the opportunity to get to colorado but from the south. it also opens up the road to broder is operation, region towns like when i pull it, for instance, so it's not clear where the russians will be going next, but it did destroy one of important defense posts for the ukrainian um,

full says, and it's not only the military, the military strategic sizes, accounts here, but also it's a huge impact on the ukraine on forces morales, a night times new secretary general macos it was in keith to day, presents the landscape, asked again for ukraine to be allowed to use long range missiles. the striking side, russia, what a yes about requests actually a change the situation on the battlefield in the east or well, the for the me is that you crane doesn't have enough enough long range missiles in order to make a significant impact and change the dynamics on the ends of don't bass, so if yes were of sad, then there should be a greater commitment was deep strikes systems provided to ukraine. and of course,

we know that the targeting data would have to be provided by nato older satellite imagery on um, high value targets on industrial sites, on military sites inside russia. so yes was all that ukraine has at this disposal now will have most likely an operational effect, but it certainly is not going to change the dynamics also battlefield. okay, thank you for that. marina marina, i'm me around the administrator unless from king's college london. thank you for having me and to the united states, we have prosecutors has of laid out the most extensive case gas against donald trump in the 2020 election interference case and unit and sealed court 5 and says, the former president is alter to criminal act and he's failed to cling to power pro, seduce is argue that he acted outside the scope of his duties. when the pressure,

the officials tried to go over to his trades and spent the election to face never be for that reason. i think he should not be seen by presidential immunity, documents offering fresh evidence lands just a month before mr. trump takes another shot at the presidency. the race of the white house will be decided in the so called a swing states, the biggest of which is pennsylvania report to stephens even visited the states to get a sense of the political moved welcome to bucks, county pennsylvania, about an hour drive north of philadelphia home to around $600000.00 souls. anyone hear of voting age is being hotly pursued by both campaigns for the upcoming presidential election. this counties, arguably the sweetest of all in the swing, is of the 7 battleground states. as long as we drive through, there was rule areas. there are a lot of trump bands, campaign sites, and a posters in the front yards. for the closer we come to the townships in this

county here, for example, during the war harris walls, posters and science will be the front yard. it's just a little thing, but it's kind of visualizes with this county and where the state is right in the middle. nobody, nobody knows who is carrying pennsylvania. this is. doris co founded in 1682 today . it is rich with american east coast small town flare, charming boutique stores and quaint family businesses dot the main street. the berks county republican and democratic party companies have offices here. unfortunately, the local republican party officials have no time for us. we have more luck with the democrats either. i the thank you so much. this is zachary kirk, executive director of the bucks, county democratic committee. yeah. we want to know, do late in the game tv debates really make a difference with voters here? yes. people have very much made up their minds and a lot of ways, but i think there's still definitely room to continue that margin. um and you

know, i think there's still a lot of people out there that we can keep talking to and convince. however, the quick, but of course not represented a survey on the streets of thoughts down suggest otherwise. me on the drum drum all the way. yeah. mag a baby. i think most people made their minds up. my family are pretty set based on the policy given the volume and the overall tenor of, of the current election cycle. i'm shocked that someone hasn't made up their, their opinion, one way or the other. last stop, we joined a guided history to or not from durance down the side general george washington, staring crossing of the delaware river in 1776. the event and successive metals with the british change, the tide in america's war of independence. seismic event and us history. some, you know, the outcome of this presidential election may not pay significance to what happened
