the, the, this is dw news live in from berlin. tonight is real, says it's ground defensive in lebanon, is taking a heavy toll on hezbollah is really ex drawings are pounding, has bullets strongholds, and southern b reports say they're targeting the likely next leader of the militant group. also coming off, the european union is now on the road to help the terrorist on electric cars made in showing that but germany war is the move could trigger a trade war plus, while sailing through the south china sea. the drum and worship was shadowed by chinese vessels. dw gail. martha's reports tonight on why germany and other airlines are worried about china is growing influence in the in the pacific. the

i'm break off is good to have you with this. we begin this friday in 11 on where it gets real says it's forces, have killed around 250. has full of fighters citizens troops entered the country earlier this week. the militant group has not confirmed that number. israel says that 8 of its soldiers had been killed. of the foreign minister of the wrong as well as backer is in the lebanese capital b route today as is really air strikes, target has below leaders. the talks with lebanon's prime minister follow and is really attack on the building were installed hezbollah officials were meeting media reports they destroyed was an attempt to kill a possible successor to the former leader assigned this rolla. he was killed last week as well. journalists, ruth michael, sending, they were told me more about the talks with the uranium for administer. well,

i've been a bus actually arrives today. he met actually met the cad, take a prime minister, and that he'd been county hills and met with the speakers, the parliament. that'd be very easy for me among movement, which is a separate shared policy he has seen now increasing the with what's been happening is and increasingly powerful and important say good intensive, potentially securing a ceasefire and moving forward. and that's certainly the kind of statements that we saw coming out of both of those meetings be raining and for administer. it said, according to the national needs agency, out of the meeting during the meeting with the jeep account team, the cad take her prime minister. he said that he, with his focus was on supporting lebanon against his radio, aggression in his was. and then also was talking about, you know, the assets to back a ceasefire, though in his words, he said that they would only support to cease fire if it was backed by his bullet.

and also, i was bored into 4 single tennessee with the ceasefire regarding casa, i want to get your assessment to, um, do the tax by israel and the killing of has full of fighters. do they really have the potential to weaken the terrorist organization in the long run? i mean we've, we've posted the same questions time and time again concerning a moss, a well, i mean, date certainly we can testable as need to ship structure. we seen the is really strikes has taken out much, many of the prominent members of has because the destruction, particularly of course, the long time need to have something us rela, um, who was killed inside the house and strides on, on the southern setups as they read last week, and this has been a series of talking to decisive nations. all leading has full of figures,

but by is around and as you mentioned at the top, there been efforts to strike the same part of the southern bay route to assassinate has bullet number 2, might potentially or excuse me, the potential 2nd in compound to have something us rela, or someone that could succeed him. um, but at the same time, in terms of what this is doing, in terms of how ordinary people from those same parts of a route and how they feel about his bullet as a group. there are people that i spoken to here who say that these attacks and the fight with israel and making the more supportive of hezbollah um, as seen as protecting them from, is really attacked. so in a sense, yes, so these attacks are taking of large numbers at the leadership structure, but in terms of what they're doing, what kind of support of the group that it's a lot more confusing is real, says that it hit more than 2000 sites during an operation in southern lebanon on

israel also says that about $250.00 has been the fighters, were killed in combat with the jewish new year. holiday with that ending is the expectation in the route that the attacks from israel are about to intensify even further. i mean, i think it's quite difficult to anticipate what could happen. there's certainly a sense that this has been an escalation in the past week. i mean, things have happened here, things have changed very, very quickly. and people, when i speak to them on the ground, the feeling that very intensely that has been this huge escalation in a text. we saw last night that um, according to uh, his book uh, talking to the p nice agency, they said that they counted 11 consecutive strikes on the southern southern since they were that last night was considered to be quite an intense series of aspects.

possibly maybe even the most intense series of s rides on the southern bay route, at least that we have seen so far. and so i think people, uh, hoping that uh, that these things will end as soon as possible when you speak to people that are displaced as over a 1000000 people displaced in lebanon, they desperately want this to end as soon as possible. and so i think that trying, hoping that that will be the case. journalists re, michael soon with the latest, from the route to night. really appreciate your reporting. thank you. rhonda supreme leader, ayatollah ali, how many has made a rear public appearance? delivering a sermon during friday presents a wrong. he prayed for the husband, the leader hoss on this rolla who was killed in the midst of striking the route. how many also held runs reset initial assault on israel saying t. ron would do it again if necessary. and he defended the loss of terror attack

against israel last october, 7th, calling them legal and legit and iran exports be non been totally blue, gave us his reaction to how many sermon a this was indeed a defiant defense isn't our even say aggressive friday prayer sermon by you run through a leader alley harmony, really reasserting a house, really mid roll. that title is a supreme leader. even his role in the volume political system and really is role in pushing. he run forward through the multiple conflicts of a post. october 7, middle east. naturally, he had a somewhat interesting historiography of the past year of how the ron is real shadow war moved out of 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 in the october rounds of direct missile 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 already because vast, lots of the run with population oppose this. and as you know, as of as 2009 have been actively chancing like as the regime of a my days aggressive that islam is rather than national as foreign policy as that was, it may not been totally, but i'm speaking with this earlier. let me know, and it has been in a state of the, a permanent emergency for years. so it has no president, a caretaker, government, and the currency that is nearly worthless. lebanon is divided then dysfunctional. political system also means the army is not able to challenge hezbollah or resist and is really assault the bystanders in a war within their own borders. the lebanese armed forces has been paralyzed,

as has been, the militants launch me, solves from the territory. and israel responds with a devastating rain of rockets and 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. if the liberties only wants to deploy the soldiers or do any military action, it has to be given a green light from the political elliot. unfortunately, for the best 50 years of the been useful, the history of the governments where all ways of formed all are present the, the political allies off has the law. so here

it will be more looking to know why never do that, even if it is, are we were asked to come from or to live a capital law. so that owns army is co tailed by its dysfunctional government. the country is without the president since the last step down in 2022. the political system is divided along religious lines with key roles reserved for shia and sunni muslims. and merry nights christians saw honda 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 on safely stored ammonium nitrate designated in a bayard port warehouse, killing hundreds and shattering buildings across the city. the explosion exacerbated an existing economic crisis. as i know the, a banking scandal had collapse. the value of the lebanese pound,

millions were pushed into poverty level known his struggle to supply basic services . like electricity and water, gasoline shortages have become a common occurrence. 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 what's shown as their country disintegrates even further. and their political military systems are unable to protects them. and is really your strong kids cut off the main border crossing between 11 on and syria. tens of thousands have used the route to escape is really bonding. lebanese

officials say more than a 1000000 people have been displaced and that includes thousands of foreign workers . dw baber bureau chief mohammed, straight to reports, or this mixture of soup kitchen is serving food 200 rubles migrant workers in war toned lip. and on my right is preparing the next you just outside her restaurant. trust somebody. yes. nearby route. she herself is a migrant worker from the philippines, but she's here as a volunteer to help others in the migrant community. government schools are offering a shelter for people, but my grants are not allowed. so most often my guys are in just in the state. if they don't have to end this or the culture they to accommodate them. so for somebody else has really try to get them on helping the migrant. whether it's free to be no regardless of nice. oh function of this. we are helping them, my friends, with the full,

with the security unprecedented. 1000000 people are on the move shelters like this one nearby who are struggling to house committees. families thing is what you the air strikes. it is getting dark here and bailed, as you can see behind me, there's a lot of people that would have to spend another night on the street. some of them are live and he's who couldn't find who mean any of the overcrowded shows us. but most here are foreign workers who just have no place to go. right indicators of the roots downtown. we supported a group of domestic workers from sierra and young. most of them flipped, saw the been on, and the sold and suburbs are field looking for safety and trip any some 80 kilometer is north a free route for they were turned away from a school which was serving as a shelter. so the message to send me was the school is not for my address, it's 411 is people as they are not allowing them to stay,

most of the women were abandoned by their employers who had fled to safety and left their employees trended in the middle of the conflict, so a desert doesn't want you to just drop you somewhere without your papers and you can't do anything with their passports and legal documents to the position of their employers. these women can not exit the country, left to fend for themselves, the desperately keep looking for shelter. as these were you the minute 3 orders more? if i could, we sions, from pounds and solving the been on the number of refugees is growing. and the chances of finding even a room for the night would soon become almost impossible. or let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . hundreds of mourners, gavin, for the funerals of 18 palestinians killed. and it is really your striking the occupied westbank to strike the building. that house is a cafe and

a refugee camp in the city of toll cut in israel says the attack killed several watches us and british forces had struck him more than a dozen booty targets. and young men, kindergarten, says aircraft, and warships bombed weapons systems, bases, and other equipment. who's the media confirmed the strikes at the airport in her data and in the capital. so no footage from haiti shows people panicking near the capital puerto prince as a gang open fire with automatic weapons and set fire to houses and vehicles. you can see it right there in the united nation says that these 70 people were killed within 3000. and $600.00 haitians have died in king violence this year alone as well. the european union has given the green light to help the terrorists on chinese made electric vehicles. the executive is planning duties of up to 36 percent in retaliation for what he calls unfair chinese subsidies. but not everyone

is on board. europe's top car maker, germany fears the terrorist could start a trade more with beijing. if your beef in the you and looking to buy an electric, he goes from china. get ready to be a big more in a divided board. we use these fact hefty additional that it's on ease. in both dick from china, it's not as much as the 100 percent in both duties. the us or canada, please on chinese is earlier this year. but it's still a significant move on a global level. it points to approve it towards protection and some other countries over using google arises to be sure that they're all thomas policies of contacted by international market forces. it also highlights the shifting balance of power within europe. on china policy, on one side there's german john split off schultz and the c. e. o of the leading

german gone because they've been fun. china would respond by distributing the exports of particular ideas. german called me cause need to make easy batteries. and that escalation could hit their seals in china, the biggest forward market for german cars. they oppose the data, fearing that german is produced in china and we'd be subject to hide in both dat, it's making them more expensive. on the other side is the european commission deck bite for select funded 9 who believes china is undermining the european god industry by subsidizing domestic production and fueling. it's unfair to market the commission, but also capitalists in europe increasingly see china and as the economics threats and some um, some would also say, you know, 20. so the capacities for instance, aust, recommending employment in europe last year she been as far as opening an in the

subsidy poop into china actions. we must defend ourselves against unfair practices, the wards, but e. u. member states to place additional duties on chinese if he's, if assigned the durham and he's losing, it's a part of the in the block. and that the e u is no longer willing to give to treat pression from china. but both sides are willing to negotiate, even as the data go into effect until this point of the bid us know when they're in this dispute. what you're seeing, those unfortunately situation where the costly increasing production isn't withdrawing out the, the, the was the bob water. they would not solve the crisis india pen car industry. despite its trips to please through can you treat that? it's on your to be brandy book and daddy products, which amount to nearly 2000000000. yours entreat william for your guard industry. analysts believe china isn't really willing to engage in act read work,

especially as the contents, but the struggling economy with the w as terry schultz told me about the likely fallout from these tariff increases a. well, brenda european commission is calling this a when this vote today, but in fact more countries, epstein from voting on going ahead with the terrorist and actually voted for them. so you had 12, it's extensions 10 countries voting for them and only 5 led by germany voting against them. germany only had a handful of small states hungry, malta, slovenia, and slovakia that joined it in opposition to these measures. but the commission says, you know, this investigation which you mention has shown us that there is not a level playing field as they feel that they have no choice. they say that this is protecting automakers, protecting european consumers to charge potentially up to 45 percent terrace. on in ports of chinese electric vehicles, they say that they'll continue negotiating with china,

but they believe that this is the best way to, to help protect industry and consumers. some european observers via that this could re ignite the trade war with china that we saw under former us president donald trump for trade. were that hampered global economic growth? i mean, are the e u member states? are they worried about that happen as well? some of them are worried and that's why we saw such an indecisive vote today. that's why you didn't see more countries coming out in favor of this. but, i mean, the, the big ones did vote for it, france, italy, poland, and, and greece. so you had enough of a way of a weight behind the boat to approve it at, at the same time, i think that as you mentioned, donald trump, this is one of the concerns that is leading countries to, to, to be worried about this. donald trump believes that the terrorists are good for consumers, and he has been in trumpeting that on the campaign trail. so i think that there is

a lot of uncertainty ahead of us selections about what kind of trade environment would be created. should donald trump be re elected at the same time, the european commission? uh, you know, wanting to take a strong stance right now at the beginning of versa. live underlines 2nd mandate to say, this is where we stand with china to. that was the, the easy results reporting from brussels. tensions over china is assertive claims in the south. china sea will be in focus next week at a regional summit in laos. germany is among a growing list of western nations, boosting their military presence in the region with the aim of keeping important trade routes. open. dw is georg motus hitched a ride on a german war ship, sailing from indonesia to a single headed brisk speed of 25 knots. the drum and warship crosses the invisible sea border. it's now out of indignation, waters into what's called the high seas. the digital map signals,

the grew of the frigates, brought them back, that they can now start the training move plan office today. uh, we have a flight operations, so we 1st have to cross the territory, want us to meet the needs, are to the high seat before where you can launch a helicopter, whether you are on the high seas or whether you are within so called exclusive economic. what territorial waters is complex and often the matter of interpretation . just as in the case of the south china sea, which the button good back recently crossed all, try not clean silver and t over about 90 percent of it. which contradicts the un convention on the law of the c, says the maritime legal expert on board. the china hills this to interpretative, to bring their own interest in the interpretation of the law offices cease. and

that is not only china that all coastal states, all the states that bring ships into the sea, interpreted and set their own interest in this, in this law, this itself is effect about a 3rd of global maritime trade passes through the south trying to cease annually making on the hindered passage essential to the global economy. germany's deployment in the region was a signal that all nations should be able to maneuver freely in international waters, including singapore, which today is also participating in the military exercise, the low savings through the south china sea. the drum and warship was shadowed by chinese vessels sticking to the same route and maintaining about the same distance as this worship from singapore. the drummond fleet admiral explains

that shadowing other ships is routine, and that's during the bottom. brittenback transits through the south china sea. the chinese kept an appropriate distance. the fact that china was closely observing germany's passage through waters they claim for themselves was very much part of the mission. recognized by one slaves as well as the south and east side of the water. and to the high seas, we acted in accordance with the national maritime law and to exercise the freedom of navigation and the freedom of the big independence of all those at the drum and in the pacific deployment was the 2nd mission of its kind. germany plans to return soon to show allies in the region that when it comes to upholding the freedom of navigation, they are ready to sail alongside. really clean up is

$200.00 plus killer mazer. now winds were a problem at the fact that then stayed a whole day longer than full cost as thought it would turned 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 say, and 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. whereas the reminder now of our top story, israel says it's forces and killed around $250.00, has full of fighters, incense troops entered living on this week. is really your strengths of also have counted has for what intelligence facilities in southern facebook. you're watching
