[000:00:00;00] the, you're watching dw news line from for list explosions, rock the lebanese capital b route, a series of is really air strikes, hit favor with southern suburbs after israel ordered civilians to evacuate the area, the water levels, and one of the amazon spain tributaries dropped to the lowest ever recorded as severe drought devastates the region.

the militia chance thanks for joining us. the 11 east capital bay root has witnessed another series of his really air strikes. explosions came shortly after is really forces ordered people to evacuate from a number of areas in southern a root. israel says it is hitting hezbollah targets in the city of an ounce. information minister on a visit to fran said he's still hopes last minute diplomacy could for, could prevent further destruction and suffering and his country. yeah, we still think there's a tiny bit of hope on the diplomatic front of the board because loving them as being bombed every day going by the central baby. what is being bombed every day, every night around the clock and wonderful. we're afraid we're turning into a new guys in loveland, on how to the past week has brought the middle east closer to an all out war than at any time in the past year. i asked simon may bon, who is

a lecture in international relations at lancaster university where things stand and whether he would already consider this conflict. a true war? yeah, i mean, so may say this is the semantic distinction. but i think when you look at the number of people that are being killed, the number of people that have been displaced, the damage done set to infrastructure, to the very way of life across the region. it's, it's easy to see how this could be considered conflict. this could be considered to be a war. and you look at the footage from, from south lebanon. you look at the bodies from gaza. it's pretty obvious this meets many of those characteristics. but i guess what the big war is and why people have no as yet spoken about this as a middle east, them, or if you will, is to worry that it will escalate so that it will draw in neighboring states and it will lead to

a very clear and very deliberate articulation of hostilities between the radians b as riley's and others across the region. so i guess this is, this is more of cost. this is war, but it's not well with the capital w that you're suggesting. but many are we all figuring there's been lots of comparisons to the 2611 on we're how useful is that comparison and where are things different? this is useful in the sense that that was the last time there was a major is really military reaction in lab. and on, i say, major because of the devastation that, that was imposed on, on the people of, of south lebanon and of da here, a southern part of a route which was destroyed after the war. so that it's useful and not respect, but it's also very different in terms of the broad context at that point around

wasn't necessarily quite. ready as involved in the role of the regional tensions, particularly with israel. and it was also the, the post spinning an issue with the question of gaza was not on the cards as much as it is right now. but then it was a very limited. i said limited in terms of the, the scope of our cars involved and the limits of conflict between israel and his by law. why that now it draws in other acts as other regional players, including obviously how much and gaza and the who is in yemen. and malicious and no talk. so then real, there are differences, but i guess the devastation that was imposed in 2006 is one of the reasons why people was so keen to avoid an escalation and self love and on and beta, which as well. israel says is fighting the militant group has well, at 11 on uh, we just aired a piece about the state of the lebanese government, but are, are they playing a role including

a military role in any of this as well. the lebanese government is paralyzed. it was described by one of my colleagues as a form of some of the power sharing, which i think really captures the, the, the complex and the frozen nature of, of, of the political dynamics and in less than on right now. but that, of course, manifest and other institutions including the army. so they all make it taking a bit of a watching breaks for the past past. yeah. was, as things were increasing between his by law and iran intentions. what was the name? but in the past day or so, the lebanese army has decided to start taking action, but it is a limited force and it's certainly not the most powerful military force and 11 on which would be his by law. the fighting 11 on has shifted focus away from gaza and the occupied west bank. how well israel's engagement in fighting has blown loving

on impact the situation in the palestinian territories as well as speaking with friends in the post to me and territories and speaking to friends and to god um and are my line, jerusalem, there are east jerusalem. i should say just for clarity, there are a come, there's a continuation of, of the state as quote that is continued uh as a continued his way. the security presence that was the devastating striking to caught him the other day. we know that the situation in gaza was continuing more strikes more that's the question remains i guess is can you on tango. ready what is happening at 11 on from gaza? the piece by the end of the say no, this way, these are opening up to strategic fronts here. and that, i guess, to ask the question is, can they continue to conduct a strategic operations of the soul that we're seeing in lebanon. and garza was also doing things in the west bank. and of course,

i missed all of this is people is the people of palestine, the people of gods, of the people of lab. and on the people of the west bank, the people of israel, who are the ones who are really figuring the escalation of the situation. professor simon may bond from lancaster university many thanks for your insights. so before we move on, here are some of the very latest developments in the conflict between israel and has been left. is really military has struck a mosque next to a hospital in south lebanon based that hezbollah fighters were present inside the mosque when it was targeted, but did not provide evidence. israel has also called on lebanese refugees, not to return to their homes, warning that error strikes on villages and loving on would continue. the united nations peace keeping force in loving non says it will not be positions in the country south. despite is really military requesting un forces to do so. and lebanon's government says more than 2000 people have been killed as

a result of the conflict in the past year. and most of those lives last has been in the past 2 weeks. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. us and british forces have struck more than a dozen who with the rebel targets in yemen. the pentagon says aircraft and worship spawns weapon systems bases and other targets. who's the media confirmed strides at the airport in her data and in the capitol center? totally former us president donald trump has said that israel should hit iran's nuclear facilities in response to toronto. recently michelle attacks, trump said it was wrong. so president joe biden, to zoom out against such attacks by and had called on israel to respond in a proportionate way to the iranian attack. could you clarify the european union has given the green light to have the terrace on chinese made electric vehicles. the

you executive is planning duties of up to 45 percent in retaliation for what it calls unfair chinese subsidies, but not everyone's on board germany home to some of europe biggest carmakers fears . the tariffs could start a trade war with aging if you're based in the you and looking to buy an electric, he goes from china, get through the, to be a bit more. in a defined detroit, we use these fact have the additional data 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 tvs earlier this year. but it's still a significant move on a global level. it points to approve it towards protection in some other country. so over using google arises to be sure that they're all thomas policies of

and some um, some would also say, you know, trainees of the capacities, for instance, off recommending employment in europe. last year she went as far as opening an empty subsidy broke into china actions. we must defend ourselves against unset practices, the wards by e u. member states to place additional duties on chinese ease is assign 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 after that is go into effect until this point out at bid us know when they're in this dispute. what you're seeing, those unfortunately a situation where the costly increasing production isn't withdrawing out the the, the was the bob water. they will not solve the crisis in the car industry despite its trips to piece or can you treat that it's on, you would have been brandy polk and daddy products,

which amount to nearly $2000000000.00 euros and treat one of them. but your guard industry analysts believe china isn't really willing to engage enough creedmore, especially as the condensed but the struggling economy. one of the main tributaries into the amazon river has dropped to as low as to level ever recorded authorities or warning that water levels might drop even further in the coming weeks. severe drought is draining waterways around the amazon boat slice stranded along patched river beds in the brazilian port. city of miles relies on the east coast of ways to survive as st. dry up. so design to trade routes and access to a central supplies. so my buying, that's why i've got bays in the schools to to get water to drink. we have to go outside of the community and sometimes it's not even then we used to get it from
