site and that's this my to escalate further in one way, of course because his paula here in lebanon is the link to the iranian regime. his paula is reports. re, is them 9 for being like um i'm in the show that co ordinates. it's a military action, but also it's a for him political dishes decisions quite closely with the rainy and regime. and therefore he is quite high that his bullet might play a role when you're on plans with originally ation attack against the israel against israel. so people here are scared that this might worse and the situation in the country because then and a further reevaluation attack is where could also uh escalate, further its, uh, military actions here and live on. but the 2nd tier, of course, is also that if things between your on and israel continue to escalate that re a one step further to this very like often talked

a region of war at that the will will not a, the state between israel cause a level and on and syria, but that it will become bigger and bigger. and that of course has bad insurance as for the whole region. and this is where people here so freight. yeah. and just briefly, perhaps stella staying in lebanon and the conflict is there. what's the latest you can tell us as well here, and they were, we had yes, another night of air strikes yesterday and then, but before midnight, these are in the army started to attack the sizes and suburbs of favored local media has reported. that is really forces have carried out 7 air strikes within 30 minutes and that was quite heavy and widely heard here in the city. also during the night a quite close to the off, the israel started as it's the attack against iran. it also carried out sonic bombs

is of a rude that were heard in other regions as well. i nursed with people in the news of live on, on and but through and, and even further, woke up to these massive sounds of explosions that then turned out to be sonic booms. but of course, that's very foyce. and then when your sleep during the night and you wake up to these massive, massive sounds right, jenna, this is the amount of the reporting and by root. thank you so very much. the anterior, some of the stories making headlines around the world's ukranian official say a russian drone attack on a high rise building and in chief has killed at least one person that injured 5 others around a 100 people, but evacuated from the building and not just the service to say the resulting fire has been brought under control. so as, as in the united states, i suspect it's chinese hackers have targeted the phones of don't have to trump on his running mate for the white house j d vans and f

b. i statement did not give any names that said, it was investigating what is called an authorized access to commercial tent telecommunications infrastructure by people associated with china. specific government has reached a $23000000000.00 settlement with mining funds that were responsible for a 2015 dumb call ops. the incident i to an i, an online released toxic mining waste into a major river in south eastern brazil. it killed 19 people and left hundreds homeless to georgia, now and to georgians. are heading to the polls for parliamentary elections, which could be crucial for the former soviet republics. future. many see the vote as a make or break moment for the countries chances of joining the european union. the pro russian ruling georgia dream potty has also threatened to ban opposition parties if it's a q as a now the victory brussels has warned repeatedly that the government's increasing

or authoritarian this and jeopardizes it's johns is of you membership and it's getting more on that story from dw corresponding to maria kat, ahmad. so who joins us now from george's capital to least see maria, 1st of all, do tell us why joining or not joining the you there is such a big issue in this election. indeed this elections are seen as a referendum between russia and europe, especially after the government has introduced earlier these. yeah. and the so called for in aging bill that sparked mass pro you protests in this country. and the sort of the growing dissatisfaction with the government actions that many critics here see as leading, told moscow. and it sort of implementing the policies that are alienating many people less than that for you. if you in georgia, is from the, the, your choice which actually isn't trained in georgia and constitutions. weston sort

of the you, you realize project 3. and that's why is it seems so crucial now the pro western president, so low, miserably sweetly. we had a brief exchange with her, at least porting station. she told us that she's confident that the pro european opposition forces would win this election. but she saw that still there's no going to be losers at this elections because suggesting that the so the viewer p and future ease, ease for good of everyone in this country. indeed, i'm a poll show that around 80 percent of georgians actually want to join. you but as you also mention to the, the ruling a georgia dream, a party seems to be leading towards moscow. nevertheless, it is quite popular. can you explain that or uh, yes, indeed, georgia dream party is leading into the polls. uh,

whatever polls we take pro, a commission by government institutions or commission by positional channels. uh, that's the reality as of now uh, but uh, we should also mentioned that the georgians and government is framing this election is a bit differently. they say that this is a choice between war and peace with russia. so uh, to your question about the, uh, sort of european rectory, uh, pro european and right through that we've been hearing some of the georgia into comments. yes, they claimed that the, the georgia will be part of the you by 20 sachi. however, brussels have side that georgia, georgia and government's actions are not taking georgia closer and has, as mentioned frozen the you integration. but it's very unpopular here to state in this country that you all know the pro european force. and that's why the critics say that the government is using it as a false front to sort of gain electrons. so maybe, i mean, uh if, if the georgia dream party says it's a choice between peace and war,

how strong then is rushes influence on these connections. there, there were several, several reports by the investigation investigative during the less suggesting that russia has input infiltrated t institutions in this country is such as central election community for administrative profess, but the minister of foreign affairs. sorry. and now uh, 2 days ahead of the elections, we seem the rates in the homes of the research shows here in georgia watching for american sync times that have been sort of uncovering russian, this information tactics in this country. and now trade fi goes with russia has been rising and the georgia has been accused. however, the government is denying is easily also sort of helping russia. so combined this anxious of so called power of import. uh, so come strongly economically. we can definitely see on the ground,

the sort of the, uh, the connections there. um, but uh, still uh, i mean it's, it's, it's still early to, to, to, to sort of judge. and i think that at the end of the day, we'll have much more information about that. all right, dw, corresponding money. i cut how much of the reporting for us from george and capital tbilisi. thank you so very much, maria. are moving to pakistan now, where a student protest over in the legend rape and the eastern city of the whole has united to the base about women safety police shot down the demonstration saying the allegations of rape or not the true by the case a spot intense debate concerning the legitimate c as of women activist, a sexual violence against women and pockets on this, on the report is because of the stigma attached to it in the conservative country these to do a protesting again. fiction violence attempt topic and focused on such protests
