the the business dw news line from balance around supreme later defense is countries miss all a sole tony as well as hold off from the ne says to iran and its allies will knock back down as is well, steps up the tax on has blossom also coming up around for an minutes to also threatened is right, o is retaliation? derrick toltz was lebanese officials and baby room is visit follows, is rainy. s tracts targeting has velocity industry and in a divisive decision, be european union slaps, hesitate, tablets on the chinese made electric, germany, as among the critics saying,

a trade war with china would com. european come to the i'm good. how those as well come to the program, you're on supreme data. i a told her all the funding a has hailed is countries recent, rucker to talk on israel saying to ron will do it again if necessary. he made the remarks during arrest um and into ron way off of prayers for the late husband. i need a house on those. rollo, i'm in a said every country it has a rights to protect itself from aggressive. and iran is regional allies with enough back down the also defended homeless terrace tax against israel last year, calling the legitimate and legal of the wrong, expert benham, ben tyler who gave us his reaction to accommodate some a. this was indeed

a defiant defense isn't our even say, aggressive friday prayer sermon by you runs through a leader alley harmony, really reasserting the house really mid roll. that title is a supreme leader, even his role in the ryan political system and really his role in pushing iran forward through the multiple conflicts of the post. october 7, middle east. naturally, he had a somewhat interesting historiography of the past year of how the ron is real shadow. ready or moved out since the open. there's been a bit of a propaganda span as well. if you could put that politely as to how he rhonda thought it was winning or how he's trained, the ron is winning. particularly the april round at the october round of direct visual contact between iran and israel's, as well as of course, right, the generate support for the regime, staying in the fights. and this is, of course,

a very, very tall order because vast, lots of the running population oppose this. and as you know, such as 2009 have been actively chanting. like since the regime of the days aggressive, that is one this rather than national as for the policy. now this was the 1st time in 5 years to accommodate health such a public address. what do you make of the timing? as indeed the comedy doesn't often gives a friday for sermons. but if you look at his career in the past, particularly the 1980s when he was president, he was actually quite famous for these very politically charged friday for service . and in the much more recent history of supreme leader when he has basically intervenes, they give them they make into a state of the union for the as well as like a public of a rod when, when he gives these uh sermons, trying to explain how things got to where they are and try to generate supports

even among human leads for the way things will go. so indeed, in terms of his own personal career and political calendar, it was an important milestone. but as an analyst ex certainly i have to tell you, it's a lot more proof that these what i'm looking for like it's going to be doubling down on a lot of the things that we've been seeing come out of that regime since october 7th . be around next, but then i've been told to do that. now it runs for administer us are actually is in the lebanese capital, as is really a strikes target has believed is the tulsa's evidence prime minister follow and is rarely attack on a building where it's thoughts, hezbollah officials were meeting media report say the strike was an attempt to kill a possible successor to the full my lead a house on those rather he was killed. last week the journalist is still a man that isn't very rude, but she's monitoring developments and 11 and including the talks with the rainy and foreign minister swell. first of all the visit is

a very important happening to the members of his followers. ever since they are lita how soon this roller was killed last friday? many has been our members have expressed that anger towards the rainy and region and their eyes. the resume has abundance them and has not done enough to support his father who has been weakened a lot. but the rain in foreign minister is about to meet with me all to the caretaker. prime minister, sir. the visit is not earned. you assigned to his follow up members offer support in the lions. it also has a very clear political message. and this visit is happening at the moment where also negotiations are going on here in the country to form and you government and to find in you a prime minister 11 on has been,

was out of government for it 2 years now. and there are a lot of people who see has bola as an enemy, and to think that now is a great momentum as the organization is, we can to kind of fill the power void that has been left by ms rela and the to strength and the new states to take over. so the visit of the range in for him in this there is also a clear message by iran, that's the rain and regime has a say when it comes to forming and you called them. and now the morning has revealed the extent of the damage and living in from overnight strikes. how bad is it as well, we have witnessed the heaviest bombardment of a roof, the capital of live and on so far um, securities sources reporting that they have been 11 consecutive strikes on to the 1000 suburbs of the better route the here and the id f says that the

target of the strikes uh was that how sion size indeed um um potentially a successor of a house on this roller uh, these bombardment was loudly searched everywhere in the city. but the adf also continued for the strikes or the lead on, on the liberties health ministry said that the last 24 hours, at least versus 7 people have been killed. and more than a 150 people i've been doing list so that many of them very rude. thank you very much, that you're welcome. letter that has been in the state of the a permanent emergency for years. it has no presidents, a cat, take a government on a car and say, that's really what this lebanon divided and dysfunctional political system also means the army is not able to challenge, has beloved or resist,

and is rarely assault bystanders in a war within their own borders. the lebanese armed forces has been paralyzed, as has been, the militants launch missiles from the territory. and israel responds with a devastating rain of rockets in cross border incursions. the official lebanese army is estimated to have some 70000 troops with equipment and even salaries funded by the united states and other allies, but observed as sites in no shape to confront israel while being politically prevented from challenging hezbollah. it is the liberties on me wants to deploy the soldiers or do any military action. it has to be given a green light strong. the political lead. unfortunately, for the best, 50 years of the nice political history of the governments where all ways of floor and all of the present the,

the political allies off a half of the law. so here it will be more looking to know why never did it, even if it is, are we were asked to come from or to live a lot. lebanon's army is co tailed by its dysfunctional government. the country is without a president since the last step down in 2022. the political system is divided along religious lines with key roles reserved for she and sony muslims. and mary nodded christian saw her for more than 2 years. the divided parliament has been unable to install a government to 15 different from the already fragile political stage was blowing into catastrophe in august 2020 and safely stored ammonium nitrate designated in a bay report warehouse killing hundreds and shattering buildings across the city.

the explosion exacerbated and existing economic crisis. i know the, a banking scandal had collapse. the value of the lebanese pound millions were pushed into poverty lab. and on his struggle to supply basic services like electricity and water, gasoline shortages have become a common occurrence. a desperate account holders have resorted to rubbing banks to access the cash, attacking the institutions that have failed them. turn out the job and what are you loving these people waiting for? go down and take your rights from this mafia, thieves and criminals. that is ruling the country where the human rights there is no electricity, no water, nothing at all in this country. now, ordinary lebanese people are forced to watch on as their country disintegrates even further. and their political and military systems are unable to protects them.

some of the lobby is direct of policy at the alternative policy institute, based in by rudy joins us today from a from rome. now you have previously criticized lebanon's leaders for quote, driving the country into the void. years of economic malaise. have left the country pretty equipped to handle emergencies like this one. how is lebanon coping with his prices? thank you for having me. i guess, as you mentioned, the fact of the letter is government. i think i've spent the better part of my career criticizing them, but i have to acknowledge that and assistance. at least some of the planning perspective, the government, the un and international agencies have developed a well crafted humanitarian response plan. the plan is scenario based. it's a multi plus the response and it has anticipated the worst case scenario. we are in the worst case scenario right now. at this moment, around 900 shelters are full of the hospitals in jan,

and there is no safe place to go. so. ready basically what we're seeing is a repeat of what happened the beginning of the conflict and we got to the end, the world is letting it happen. again, this is happening because israel continues to bomb densely populated civilian areas across the country. so let me clear, no government in the world, not even in germany's government, wouldn't be able to open 20 percent of this population being displaced from one week to another. that's the big credit barrier. moving to brand new. um, so i hear a lot of people asking, you know, why is this government doing more? if you're part of that, it is very interesting. part of that is the complain me. we didn't ask, what does the training government doing when russia was supposed to envision lives that you create and we shouldn't be doing the same with the government. we shouldn't be understanding that it's not level noticeable israel ward machine to establish the time for the entire neighborhood, but to the smart thing, to say that if they were better prepared for the situation like this,

or of course they could. but that is a hypothetical where we are right now is, is, is as a product as the fact that israel has been slowly, all international conventions and it's more money to really find ministers, price staying power. i think everybody knows that especially to us, germany and italy continue to supply honest israel, some of the best weapons the world and turn around the same. they want to see spar, it's quite simple. so i think we need to reframe the way we the way we posit these, by the way we think about what's going on today a lot on it. it is the far right reading rates. this government income of the bed is border and these mess estimation the own. this is one of the countries and the weapons to israel to stop providing diplomatic cover. so we can change course, and then we can talk about a solution for an for 11, because never again means never again, not again and again and again. well, you know what we said, oh no, no, i'm sorry for,

but i would like to the original question and talk about 11 and who is the pollen levin? and right now the power level is like diffuse. um, i would say the military power rest almost squarely in the hands of hezbollah. diplomatic power is in the hands of the government. but as the light is a part of that gum, as well as part of the lens, voting for the feet. as far as the population bottom line, we're in the middle of a war and those with the, with the new or fi, do that work will be the ones who are taking the future of how 11 on look. now, the lebanese government has the power and is managing as best as can with humanitarian situation. they've launched the flash funding deals, then go shady behind the scenes. in fact, even yesterday, the 4 administer came out and said they had negotiated with the americans and the french, a 21, basically spar was benjamin. and yeah, so the next day, so most of it was assassinated. so that's the kind of the situation of this

government is doing. now, more than a year ago, you called on the west to implement expensive coordinated financial functions to rein in the lebanese elite while driving the country off the cliff. and quote, did that grateful invest? is the absolute least yes, unfortunately, i say what we are witnessing now 11 on is the destruction of the stage itself. and that has been brought about by the lack of the west interest in actually taxing the root, calculate the root cause of the problem. the west is happy when the refugees don't come over to them and they would like to keep them and let them know. so they are happy to say they are, they're not happy to say i understand the people who caused the financial crisis that brought us to our needs as a people. and now while we're on our knees, israel is coming to finish off the job. i think that's how many of these people feel. i think that's how we see it right now, is the there are huge double standards. and right now the world understand who the

addresses are, who the work criminals are and who's responsible for the board level weren't garza wherever you are today? um, i think you said, you know, in israel and the people that just people in the world have a right these days and is really that origins. they can let them know the right decision germany. and the moment that is there, a stall unit for trusting is military power into the rest of the region and sliding with every single one of its neighbors. we will find a place where we can live in the day. we have to stop the bloodshed by stopping the flow of arms. is there a board or something that is the primary objective? this is the primary objective of mice, old or interested, is the opinion of sammy, how lobby from the alternative policy institute. thank you. thanks tony. to the democratic republic of the congo, now we're at least 78 people were killed when

a boat capsized on lake keeper. officials say the vessel was severely over crowded, unexpected expect to recover more bodies. the footage captured from the shore shows the moment the sinking boat slipped over and lake people it. 2 2 the golf girls all go down all around the port of goma. there was shock and grief. a boat that was pulling into the dark thank a few 100 meters from shore. while its passengers desperately tried to make it to safety. many did not survive. in the aftermath, people who came to greet family members and friends, found themselves searching through bodies pulled from the lake, treading what they might find. none would do um,

i came to see my husband who had gone on a trip. he had told me that he was going to come back today that i arrived. and they told me that the but he was in have capsized. you've called me before and told me that the bait was capsizing and that there was already a lot of force and size. he asked me to pray for him to see if he would make it. i arrived and they told me he's dead because i don't see him among those was safe to boat was only built for 30 passengers. the witnesses say it was carrying around 10 times that many men, but i was stunned to see the boat maridy overturn and drowned everyone. there were over 300 people on board and i am one of the survivors they knew, but we escapes the boat by the grace of god and it was god who saved me maybe. but many women and children drowned to, to, along with everything they had with some of the cargo,

the money from goods. all of it is gone to stuff. it's the 4th time this year that a boat accident and congo, these waters lead to a large number of drownings. like many issues and congo. it's connected to the decades long armed conflict between the government and insurgents. the maridy was traveling from the town at maneuver to goma when it's think the 2 towns are connected by a road. but rebels have overtaken it. forcing travelers to resort to overloaded and poorly maintained boats and fairies sometimes with devastating consequences. of course, funding 6, maureen, god, is following developments from nairobi and it's not the 1st such accident in the democratic republic of the congo. so 5, the 4 now of the board has been arrested and e, as in police custody, the president of alex, she said j. d has also caused on the investigative offices to identify the costs of

the accident and scripture that if it was negligence on the part of the board company, then actual needs taken against them. but the government has come on dice, cruelty needs by the people who have condemned it for not implementing kasha punishment on board to operate. as will continue to break the rules. because this is not the 1st time that aborts accidentally. these does happen leaving tens of people dead in they probably cause call a clean up is on the way in taiwan off to ty, phone cross on, slammed into the island with high winds into a rental range. so these 2 people were killed and hundreds more injured. tens of thousands of homes remain without the type of credit on has been downgraded to a tropical depression. now that the sky is at least when it was at the peak of its powers, obvious the massive clean up continues in southern type one here in the port city of gal shaw. a toss it into almost always heat type ones,

mounts and essence possibly populated east coast which faces the pacific ocean by press on heat hot on its more exposed west coast. the tin roof was torn apart by the strong wind and then fell on the ground. i was sleeping at home, but i was working by a loud noise. i was so scared it's $200.00 plus killer mazer. now winds were a problem at the fact that things stayed a whole day longer than full cost as thought it would turn out to be a much bigger $1.00. it wasn't one of the strongest storms ever recorded, but it was one of the most slow moving systems. that means it was able to seem to 1.5 meters of rain down on to some parts of the island. at least 2 people died in northern tie,

one in the land slides that would triggered by the simply astronomical amount of right and in related news. conservationists in thailand have been rescuing elephants pegs and buffalos from flash flooding. they move more than a 100 elephants to higher ground to escape rising waters mold and thailand has hit 5 slots since hyphen yagi struck last month. elephants were previously used as what kind of moves that but on now popular with 2 to europe and union will oppose new tires. so up to 75 percent on electric cars from china on top of existing 10 percent duties. the extra terrace, controversial germany voted against us. it feels badging could retaliate with its own fees and the u. investigation is found. china unfairly subsidizes electric vehicle made because the tires can be dropped if there's any garcia and stuff.

a student basically from the w business, told me i am the how the new tires have been received. so 1st of all of the financial markets, how they're reacted. yeah, we've seen them react somewhat modestly. we do see the car companies in europe are up. for example, if we look at v w, if you look at, we know if we look at still lantus, these are the bigger car companies here. they're all up about 1.5 percent or so. right. and that's been a whole morning, they've been gaining. they towed off a little bit after the announcement. so it's not a big jump. we do see that was involved, which is owned by chinese company g lead that it's up 5 percent. and that's because bobo announced that it actually is already working on an agreement between the you in china to go around these tear ups and create another deal something. what would it, terry was just mentioning, is it ideally, many countries want to see a deal between the 2 sides instead of these tear up? so i think that if we see a deal in the future, then you're going to see the markets react in a more positive way. but what they see right now is that this step was taken, but the full story hasn't been written yet, perhaps in

a month we will see what happens when these tariffs are expected to go into place right now. this is just the next step that's been taken, but the full story isn't quite there. now let's talk what the germany voting against this. uh, one should think. germany big. com making a nation. they don't want cheap chinese impulse flooding the market. why did germany vote against this? you would think this doesn't make sense and many people at 1st glance, but germany doesn't want this because they've said to do every single aspect of this. every single stakeholder has said this, i should say, that is auto managers, labor and the government themselves all have said, we don't want this and it's because of a trade war. they say this is what we fear. this is going to be a downward spiral that ends us ends up biting us back back, firing more than it does, helping us remember that the german automotive industry has a major presence in china still. and yes, we read every day that that market share is following. they're getting beaten on these, but they still have a lot of other cars to internal combustion engines. they're selling,

their profit margins are so good on the most. they hoped to make more money in china, and this could really hurt to me. now i'm talking about money. what's at stake here? it's hard to say because it's not just as simple as saying chinese electric vehicles are gonna be 35 percent more expensive because it depends. are they going to be exported less once this happens or they're going to eat some of that price? we don't know what it's really gonna look like um, but what we do know is the consumer choice will fall. if you wanted a cheaper car, you don't have that option now, most likely because either is not going to be export here in the 1st place, or it's automatically going to be price here. so consumer choice offers and then the there are the secondary and tertiary effects. if a trade war does start, we know that dary, for example, out of the u is being looked at. we know that port exports into china are being looked at. so those industries could then suffer, and that will be a problem as well. so the overall costs have yet to be figured out, especially if there is a trade war that gets kicked off. and that leads to this kind of tit for tat, for tit for tat. and then neither side has much to show for it. that is the big

fear. now there's no real win and a trade war as well. thank you very much. even busy that from a business department, if you're watching dw news is a reminder of all the top stories around supreme data, ayatollah ali holiday, has defended. it's miss all the tax on is well. he made the read payments to pray for the husband alita kills in and is really striking. lost the media report say is really strikes and southern bay route targeted a possible successor to has blot need on us on the house. well, that's awesome. those are all that all the to was google suite b is really military cost not comment. don't forget, you can always go do the news on the go. just download our from google play store that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world. let us push
