ration and everything in between. this is a video and audio production by d w. i hope video will tune in the this is dw news live from berlin. the white house makes another place for a cease fire in the middle east. only 2 weeks before the us presidential election. you are a secretary of state and we blinking lands in israel as rockets trigger defensive missiles over tell a v. and israel launch is near strikes against has built in level not also coming up how the bricks want to build a new world order as a group centered on russia, china and india seems to counter western economic mind holding the line in new grain with russian forces advancing in future us 8 in dallas, our correspondent leads the front line defenders at the pool of

h to transportation hall i'm burned golf. it's good to have you with this you a secretary of state anthony blinking is in israel as part of yet another diplomatic push for a cease fire in the middle east with just 2 weeks before us voters choose a new president. lincoln met with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu on the 1st day of his one week, middle east trip. it's his 11th visit to the region since the war in gauze to begin last year. and is 1st since it's real, killed the homeless leader. yeah. you have seen more, lincoln will also be discussing the more with hezbollah 11 on the travel launch of jordan and guitar. a correspondence, emily gorgine in jerusalem had more on the prospect for a cease fire as blinking. and this and yahoo met

well, at this point, it does not look like a possible phase 5 deal is on the horizon. even though many have expressed the hope, including for you as president, are advising thoughts, the death of the house in wire. the how about how much of leader could really be a watershed moment, a window of opportunity for israel to reach a cx 5 deal to break a piece to claim victory in golf. uh um, so, um, excuse me. um, but uh the reality on the ground hava looks very, very different. uh israel or the is there any prime minister benjamin ton? benjamin baton yahoo has said in the past about fighting will continue. and i think this boils down to 2 reasons. essentially, on the one hand, we have seen not a recent, is there any military success of such as the killing of half of those role on lebanon? but also yeah, how soon? lauren garza have actually been a boost to his popularity. but then as well,

i'm at the same time, you also have to remember that he leaves a coalition government in his robots with ministers who do not support a seems find a deal they wants to see a continuation of the war. and they're putting a lot of pressure on him here. they've been so many field attempts to broker a ceasefire. all the while is really has intensified it's military campaign in gauze and now in 11 know on what is really prime minister benjamin the missing yahoos strategy here. i mean, does he have an in game of the for folder from, from what it looks. it certainly seems that his strategy is to continue fighting militarily. he has said this repeatedly that a victory, a personal victory is any possible militarily. and the americans seem to have very little sway of him when it comes to the strategy. we've seen him out to over the course of this war in april, for example, the americans warned against one thing and offensive in the rough on southern gaza that went on ahead. anyways,

we also saw about um sci fi talks over the few months of the last 2 months, have gone without progress. and also when it comes to shipment to turn a that's going into goals of the 2 fights have not seen i to why do you the americans recently for us and the, is raised with a 30 day ultimatum to let's age getting to gaza. and if not, but they would face, i'm costs to that military support from the uh, the, essentially what we all seeing is to 5 who have opposing use on how to conduct some how to continue this war. and at the same time and from the american, certainly we also not seeing enough or sufficient pressure to really make a change in terms of how israel is conducting. this will vary according to the latest from jerusalem. emily, thank you. you have here in parliament in strossberg has begun to debate on the safety of united nations peacekeepers in loveland, on the 4th, which is called unit. phil has faced repeated attacks during israel's defensive

against casper, a lebanon under bombardment. israel targeting has the law, but then lebanon's densely populated south. it's hard to make surgical strikes. more than 10000 unit. phil peacekeepers are here alongside civilians and militants . their headquarters has come under fire, and official say is really forced as bulldozed an observation tower. this is a serious development and unit, and unit fail reiterates the safety and security of you and personnel, and property must be guaranteed. and the then viability of human premises must be respected at all times. unit feels outposts and command center stretch across southern lebanon, forwarded by the tiny river. its official area of operations also includes part of the border with syria. the u. n. forest got its mandate in 1978, amidst lebanon civil war. when palestinian militants were fighting is really forces in southern 11 and the force was meant to be

a temporary presence to provide stability and assist the lebanese government in restoring order. the unit phil has been there ever since its mandate was later brought in to help ensure humanitarian aid could reach the population to secure the border with israel and to keep other armed groups out that has been taught and much more complicated with the rise of hezbollah so basically, the un peacekeepers working in southern dublin on i suppose to monitor and ensure the implementation often you and resolutions and constantly communicate with the ban on that as well, to de escalate and revising tension on the water. however, it is evident that unit feels mission failed to bring back home along the lebanese is really border for more than a year. now, is why it's called the incursion into southern devon, on and the fee is classes which has the loss militants putting the unit for those

personnel at risk and jeopardizing their mission. for now, the u. n. says it intends to keep the peacekeeping mission in place. but if the war gets even more intense, that may no longer be possible. i'm joined now by alexander gilder. he's an associate professor of international law and security at redding university in the u. k. specializes in peacekeeping missions. professor, it's good to have you with this unit, phil says that it intends to stay in southern lebanon, and despite is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu warning for peacekeepers to lead. talk to me about the risks that unit feel is facing here. but ultimately, un peacekeepers are not equipped to fight a war. they also may not be able to defend themselves against new sophisticated state actors. box the law or is clear. they cannot be targeted by any policy to the

conflict on the basis in viable israel lab and on has the law. any other act as to the conflict also shouldn't obstructs the un peacekeepers. but there are risks and some countries, the contributing forces to this mission will be concerned that the peacekeepers will come on the threat. and the wall. we understand what the law is, but the law is not protecting you in peacekeepers. is it? so what are unit fields? options at this point to unicell is ultimately the eyes and ears of the international community. the un of stood from on renewing that mandate in august this year, stating that the mission will continue to have a mandate to protect civilians to assist the delivery of humanitarian assistance. and ultimately, the mission is going to be staying put, at least in the short time the u. n. has,

has been quite clear on that. and the insightful community will need to continue putting diplomatic political pressure on old policies to the complex to observe the law. and make sure that the peacekeepers are able to continue to do that job. do you think that changes need to be made to unit bills mandate and live in? i mean, are we talking about possibly, you know, blue helmets replacing the peacekeepers? well, i don't think we're going to politically see any changes from the security council here. un peacekeepers are not designed to go in and fight to anatomy and that, that's a key piece. and that's why, you know, phil was deployed in the late 19 seventy's because that was a ceasefire in place and a peace agreement. and they will also be important going forward in the future. that hopefully we will see a peace agreement in some short time. and the peacekeepers

will be there to monitor that see fire in the future as well. i know you said you don't think that i'm going to feel will be leaving. but if it were forced to leave, what might living on look like without the peace keeping force as well? i think 1st off, it's important to say that only 11 on is, is the state that can say those peacekeepers must leave. israel requests have come full long daffy is, but ultimately israel kindle full submission to leave and the situation would be damaged by una phil's departure. the mission is that to assist you, monetary and assistance to help displaced persons from the conflict. and we know from breeza, from evidence that piece keepers in that presence to touch violence against civilians. so it's important that that president says that to make sure that

a battery is cataloging any, any crimes being committed to the international community can see those and has a presence. but also to test that from happening in the 1st place. alexander gilder from the university of reading in the u. k. we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you. i to hear some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world. the 1st case of a move inbox variance has been detected here in germany. the robert cock institute says the infection was contract it abroad. the new strain spread through physical contact and it has surfaced in 10 countries. the world health organization has declared a global health emergency. austria, as president, has asked the chancellor crawl, ne, hama to begin talks to form a new government. and that's just finding a how much conservative having come in 2nd reason elections to the far right

freedom party. it failed to find any other party willing to join it in a coalition. your opinion observers have reported alterations in some results for mozambique is contested to elections. police are fired, tear gas to this 1st purchase is demonstrating against the legend like tool fraud and the killing of 2 opposition figures. the us is also condemned. the shooting of the 2 met russia is hosting a summit of the breaks group of emerging economies. it's the 1st gathering since it expanded beyond the original members, brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. the 9 breaks nations reading of the city of kasan. now make up nearly half the world's population and a 3rd of its economic output. the group is putting itself forward as a counter wait to the west or they want to bring in now theresa fallon. she is the founder, director of the center for russia. europe,

asia studies in brussels. theresa, it's good to see you again. how would you assess the power of briggs at this moment? i mean, are we really looking at a counter wait to western influence? hello. it's great to be bad. i would say that the bricks were seeing some momentum growing and it's kind of a group of the disgruntled countries said really are upset with the current international order. they see that the west is in decline. and i would say that russia and china are kind of pushing it the most uh, although the 1st 5 countries, b, r i c s, as you noted in your presentation. but this is expand it now and because iran is one of the new players in bricks, everyone is really paying far more attention to it. now because of the situation in the middle east. in addition, i would say that it does pose a possible threat to western institutions in the fact that they are working

together to come up to sanction put themselves. this is one of the us is strength. so they want to try to get around us ability to sanction these country. so you have to run upset with thanks to and since 2018 russell because of the word ukraine and china, this is their biggest fear that should anything happen intentions between the us and china that the us and the west could sanction them. so they're looking at a way to get around sanctions. and the more countries in this grouping, the more likely that they will able to come up with something never the less it's despair group of countries with very different national interest and tip toeing around. some of these will be interesting to watch how it, how the outcome, moody, the prime minister of india is, has some, some issues with china, and not everyone is in agreement. i would say, i'm wondering these issues use the term sanction proof. what does the summit tell us about the us led to efforts to isolate russia over it's more in ukraine?

yes, we're seeing that narrative growing, especially since russia is the host of this event in cars on. so i think that this, there been many, many, many meetings before the big shows today and the over the next few days. so they've had a lot of bilateral meetings. and this is one of the bunk beds that they haven't been wanting to get around. because sections have hurt the russian economy, they want to come up with under borrowing some very lever experiments to put to currencies. there's something called ambridge. and the bank of international settlements has been working on this and china as a been a big player in it as well. so this could ultimately be thrown, the u. s. and china has long seen the power of the us is not so much militarily, but in their ability to punish countries financially. and hoping to work breaks to

come up with this sanction prove regimen would be really important to them. so the other narrative, i would say that's very powerful, i looked at the chinese press on all of this in one paragraph in people's daily today. the word soft global south was written 14 times. so they're really emphasized this thing that they represent the global self and that you know that they've been neglected. and by global north you could say, i don't really like these terms. i think they're too too broad, but this is a term of art. and i would say that they, they're trying to show that the represents the neglected global. so, and gave them a voice. what would be your recommendation then for the united states and the european union moving forward? i mean, should they change anything a visa v these countries or well, i would say that the geo political landscape looks very challenging the most

challenging period i would say in decades. so i think that a lot is which kind of waiting to see who the new us president will be. so i think there are ways that the us will probably try to knock down any sort of challenger to their ability to be kind of in control of the international clearing system through central banks. nevertheless, they might be able to take what has already been learned and speed up traits, and that way they can kind of consolidate their position. but there is a great deal of interest in ways to get around this. and technology is changing the secretions. so i think that the us would probably try to fight these off, but we'll see that china definitely has a great deal of interest in doing that. i'll also, you know, working towards piece the, the narrative of this event is, you know, to, to bring peace and stability in the world. so, yes, russia has made it ukraine. it's been a horrific word for over

a 1000 days now. but this is kind of the, the narrative that they're trying and rhetoric that they're, they're closing themselves. and teresa found them with the jennifer rush at europe . asia studies is always the reason we appreciate your time in your inside. thank you. thank you. us defense secretary lloyd austin has announced a $400000000.00 aid package for ukraine next month. the us presidential election could put further help in doubt while austin was in keep a russian bombardment to the eastern city of holcroft killing. 3 people. russian troops are certainly advancing towards the city, which is a transportation hub. our corresponded marks it's under, spoke to it's defenders and witnessed the devastation inflicted by mosse scouts forces on the outskirts of the cross of the this group of men has been working there howard. so since the break of dawn

doesn't so of the letter. so they say that artillery is the god of war because it causes 90 percent of the damage that's inflicted on the enemy. although it is. but the russians have more fire power and more people call it. pressure on this part of the front line is intense. i don't mind the russian infantry groups keep it advancing. as seen in this voltage captured by a ukrainian surveillance drone. it's broadcast live to the command post. back on the ground, we seek shelter as the unit prepares for potential retaliatory fire. it's been a busy morning. you know, even though we drives data, be back over the summer, killed some of the hiding the shots of the. those who stayed more or less alive, runaway who reached out to them to move us up to level perceptible bump, bump,

bump. so the commander of a seal is determined to defend across the river and take it. they want to take low cost because if they do, it will be bad. the roads will be open and the russians will have a direct path to, to enable the people this is the city, their defend, the train stopped working weeks ago. the lack of power and water, as well as rushing shilling, have driven people out across once was paid to $60000.00 people. and during the war it became an important help for the military. soldiers would come here to take a break from the front. so those days are long gone. what are those? well, that's where the drew's but hotel was the city. and over there was the core. they want to pay to rea in 2023,

and then the rockets hit there for the 1st time. a kid that brought that up with the city of the through is the hotel was attacked last year. will it be me? is commander was among those killed in a residential neighborhood. we can see the result of a recent russian attack, proportionately caused by a live bomb. so when we see it was, we found one man dead in his bed. people wasn't ashley. he had gone to sleep. the school in his house received a direct hit. but you want to move forward with some of the adjacent buildings and structures caught fire with me except for the solace of a mind. a blaze covered 400 square meters. bush apologize, just corolla, uh, through the summer through for the authentic russian. the tax on the city center have decreased slightly because ukrainians have send reinforcements to the outskirts of the city. they take most of the fire. so then use of my

to were back at the physician a new batch of shells just arrived. but it's a drop of the ocean mccraney and troops to say they barely receive enough military a to hold onto their positions. and certainly not to know what to change the course of the war research. if there's negotiating peace with russia like summer calling for, can not be the answer, says the commander on last of the most of these, the villains gives up some tenant trees of se, in 2 years we will have to go to okay. and the russians are constantly being, they are going to do that, producing shells every day. what about of give it shows you what you wrote as we head back to the city. we make a stop at a brand new trench. it's one of many dog in the area, a rock across and a potential for shadowing of battles to come right here. more stories making
