i'm going to jones good to have you with us. so here's where it says it has concluded, retaliatory strikes on military targets throughout iran. israel says it's a tax was in response to ron's ballistic missile garage. and the of this month ron's um you said 2 soldiers were killed in the strike, but also that the tax only cost limited damage. ron's foreign ministry wants to ron had a duty to defend itself against all foreign addresses. loud explosions have also been reported near the syrian capital. damascus is right in the army spokesman daniel how garry consent, that strikes has been completed. i can now confirm that we have concluded that he's really responds to ron's attack against israel as we conducted targeted and precise strikes on military targets. any wrong forwarding immediate threats to the state of

israel. they is real defense forces has fulfilled its mission. if the regime in the wrong were to make the mistake of beginning and year round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond as the w correspondent, tanya came into the room for them to walk us through what we know about the strikes . yeah, this retaliatory action by israel unfolded over several hours last night and people here who have not followed it overnight, but a waking up or a to this news in, in israel. but what we understand during the 1st reports of explosions came in entire run around 2 am local time here in israel. and shortly after, there was a 1st statement by the military actually confirming that it was indeed conducting, as it said, precise strikes on military targets in iran. and this has been long expected that

israel will retire to these early as strikes in october, the ballistic missile attacks of by if i know we have learned over the course of the hours a bit more from the military in a, another statement about these targets that the armies truck miss all manufacturing facilities surface to air missile defense systems, probably taking out some of the defends. so indeed, where military targets it had been the concern all along that is one might also talk energy infrastructure or nuclear asides. now the strikes at this moment appear to be calibrated in way. however, we do not know the extent of the damage and the scale on the scope of, of these attacks. now the army has also said it has achieved its goals among them, and that's quite interesting also that it has more freedom of action in the near future. it also had a post on the warning to yvonne no not to respond to this retaliatory action as it

puts it, because this would for the escalate the situation. we also know at the moment, at least the no changes in the home phone guidelines that usually gives indication also if there's an imminent threat, this is directed to the public to people here to know how they should act. and if there's any danger there, tanya, at least uh we have some reaction from iran. and now let's listen to a statement from the ron's a ad defense for us. that was read out on radians, state tv, a senior regina job at the bottom. the in this morning, the fake regime in an active escalation, attacked military bases into ron, who's this done button and a long provinces, go to the countries integrated air defense system, successfully tracked and confronted the act of aggression alter, you probably will find out how about you can spot a boat ever go meet tag,

cause limited damage to some areas box, the scope of it is being investigated to data. that's the body to claim my interest . and then what more do we know about it? runs responds as well. i mean, this is basically what we got from them over the course of the night that they are saying and somehow confirming that it was indeed military targets as a to, to this statement. also that the defense in yvonne had engaged with those attacks the incoming missile attacks and that it was limited in scope, according to them that has happened in 3 different problem provinces as well that basically among them also the capital a to around now. and it's one of the reading of this statement is more or less that yvonne is trying to downplay the scope. and the scale of this attack also may be leaving the door open not to for the escalated, but uh, you know,

we have to wait and see whether be find out the, um, the exact amount of damage that was done, maybe to through sutler satellite images. but we don't know whether we will know more about it in the coming hours, but certainly for now with israel is projecting that it achieved its goals. it's wondering if i'm not to attack, but we haven't heard yet from the wrong and leadership what they intend to do about this attack. me, of course is what is already fighting a war on to all the friends name, the 11 on and gaza. what strategies? but it's really government pursuing here. well 1st of all, i think it's important to understand that this a retaliatory attack didn't come out of nowhere. it has been planned. it is well had said it will respond to the missile attack by iran on

october 1st. and this attack by yvonne was already retaliation, as it said at the time of for the cooling of hezbollah. anita, how sent us by law in be rude and other leaders and the senior commanders. so to this house being, you know, going on in the, in a tit for talk between israel and yvonne a for quite to why the 1st time be so in direct attack from yvonne was basically in april, went into tucked as well with drones and missiles most of them were intercepted at the time the time also iran said this was in retaliation for an attack on it's on one of its embassy complexes in damascus. and this comes, of course, and against the backdrop of a loan of standing shed, a war between iran and israel that broke out in the open, in the april for the 1st time. and as the right, he said the region. now seeing a more, obviously this on board and gaza for over a year with these devastating consequences for a civilian stem and also in liberal,

non southern to the non a ground, the incursion there by israel. and it strikes across the country that against his beloved. and of course this, you know, has brought both countries in a very dangerous situation of a tit for todd and the have to wait and see, know what the next moves will be. and this also by yvonne lied to tanya claim. i introduced a lindsey, i thank you so much. tonya bradley bowman is from the center on the military and political power at the foundation for the defense of democracies in washington at area. he told us whether he thought it wrong would respond to the latest is really strikes wrong as the largest ballistic missile program in the middle east. it's formidable, but it's not 10 feet tall if you well they and but they fired a whole bunch of them and it appears that tonight israel has destroyed some of their production capacity and maybe some of their arsenal and can destroy much more

in the future. so i'll be surprised if iran doesn't respond in some way, but i think they're going to have to be, as i said, very concerned about what that response will give israel license to do on the next attack, which could be a more firm counter bucks than we saw this evening, a brand new bomb and from the center of military and political power at the foundation for the defense of democracies in washington, that is really military also carry talk new strikes in the southern some bits of bay route overnights of to edging residents to evacuate israel said it has attacked hezbollah targets in the area, which is a strong hold of the munition group. smoke could still be seen rising o the suburbs in the morning. lebanese state media also reported that is rarely forces had blown off homes and a village on the country southern border as well a to announce the new attacks saying it had launched drones at an is really a base me a tell of these and also some of the other stories making headlines around the

welts, ukrainian officials say at least 6 civilians have been killed in russian attacks overnight. for people including a child, died in the central city of the pro officer miss all hits residential building. 2 of those were killed in separate era tax on chief on the surrounding region. by name, influential us newspaper, the washington post to say it won't endorse a presidential candidate and next month election. the move is a break with more than 30 years of to addition report is from the paper said 1000000000 that own i'm thomas on found a jeff bezos have made to that decision by germantown. so that will, excellence has promised that the gym and even less in tens of thousands, more skilled workers from india. modern, the visits to the country, shields and senior ministers have been in india for talks aimed and boasting economic on security types to make this happen. georgians are heading to the polls

for parliamentary elections, which could be crusoe, 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 party has also threatened to ban all position parties. if it's acute was another victory process has warned repeatedly that the government's increasing or for a terry and this and jeopardize has its chances of you membership or dw corresponding to maria, cut them out. so talk to us voters in georgia is capital tbilisi. and she asked them if they think that the election will go ahead without interference. but yes, it will be free and fair, i think so. this is very important for the future of our country uh for the development of our country and will future all of our children that really want to be in the parts of europe for the most coolest. they're going to be fraud attempts,

but there are so many observers that they want to allow it new policy. so i could do it. i think i vote to turn out will make it difficult to falsify the results of the maria also told me why joining or not joining the us 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 this year. and the so called foreign agent failed. that sparked mass pro e u protests in this country on the sort of the growing dissatisfaction with the government actions that many critics here see as leading to wood, moscow. and it sort of implementing the policies that are alienating many pro weston and for your pin georgia's, from the, their choice which actually isn't trained in georgia and constitutions west and sort of the you, you are planning to talk 3. and that's why is it seems so crucial now the pro

western president solomon's that are basically we had a brief exchange with her at the supporting 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 the, suggesting that the to the view or p and future ease, ease for good of everyone in this country. ah indeed, i mean pulse show that around 80 percent of georgians actually wanted to join the you. but as you also mention to the, the routing a georgia dream, a potties seems to be leading towards moscow. nevertheless, it is quite popular. can you explain that of the uh yes indeed, georgia dream party is leading into the polls. uh, whatever polls we take pro, commission by government institutions or commission by additional 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 to your question about the uh, sort of european rectory, uh, pro european and right. the reason that we've been hearing some of the georgia into comments. yes, they claim that the, the georgia will be part of the you by 20 side teeth. however, brussels has side that georgia, georgia and government's actions are not taking the georgia closer and has, as mentioned, froze and the you integration. but it's very unpopular here to state in this country that you are not 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 a lot for it to me. yeah. come to in tbilisi there, and that's all from us for now. coming up next. all a tech show shift, taking a look at sales, driving robots taxis and whether it's time to stop trusting machines more. that's

coming up. next i'm going to get joe is for me, the news team and bill in thanks for watching the we are all set and we're watching closely in to bring you the story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information for 3 months. if you come to aquinos and you just things like, oh, i'm just going to speak spanish, we're not going to win them over latino voters divided between harris and trump tower full but fractured demographics. everybody's aware of that within the last 3

years.
