arch of hezbollah rockets the violent because the 2 a long or wasted seaside deal. tonight's israel is on the way to approving a us backs plan to hold the slicing a new window of opportunity for stability and security. but is israel or has the law ready for peace of mind? you could, was mckinnon. this is the day the dies into got into conflict between israel and iran by has the law is that's a critical moment. it's deep, only white to in the suffering of people on all sides is of the permanent and the media to cease by. that's the single most important thing to, to make an immediate difference. to stop the, the rockets and missiles from flying is what has spell. it violates the agreements and tries to re um, we will strike to make

a big difference in saving lives in live liquids. 11 on. and it is the way if i tried to renew tire activities, we will strike also coming up us president elect. donald trump outlines sweeping new terrace on mexico and canada, and he's also threatening, tougher penalties on chinese inputs. diesel. ultimately the terrace will be paid by consumers in the important country, which inevitably means the consumers will be paying more for the goods one say well, can we begin with news that israel security cabinet has agreed to a ceasefire with hezbollah and 11 on prime minister benjamin netanyahu made the announcements off to discussing a plan drawn out by the united states and fronts and backs by the you in his statement. and us and yahoo maintained a tough to,

and insisting israel will retaliates if hezbollah violates the truce. the visuals evening of the cabinets will prove a framework for a ceasefire in 11 on the duration of a ceasefire. depends on what's in the phones and they've been on in full coordination with united states. we are maintaining complete submitted to the freedom of action. it is a fest boulevard lights b agreements and tries to be um we will strike if i tried to renew tire activities near the boulder. we will strike if i launch a rocket digger turnover or bringing a truck with me. so i was, we will strike cool. yes, and you know, who said he was agreeing to the say fine, now to replenish weapons supplies, interest is ready troops. he also said it gave israel time to intensify pressure on a mass on quotes, focus on the a rainy and for us. the don't use jerusalem correspondent, tanya exclaim, a has some initial reactions to the nights developments. well, i think people here are trying, though, to understand, uh, you know,

all the details of what this uh and towed. so we, uh, the reactions are still coming in. we had a 1st reaction here from the old position, the to, you'll appear to basically a said a, you know, that's a problem used to been, you mean that to now i brought the greatest disaster on israel, but a no agreement with his beloved, with a change that and he also told me that there's a need now to look to bring the hostages that remain in garza home. but i think in general there's some cautious optimism on the one hand. but we also heard in the lead up to this uh, some criticism. also from some of the community leaders may as from the northern community, so very much concerned that his bullet could use, you know, this time of 60 days or the coming weeks and months to re um and, and regroup as well. they want to have and they want to see more guarantees

a to ensure that this, these 5 of hold and hezbollah will not come back to the border area and or was the w. sonya tree mother and 11 on the prime minister. now jude macowski is demanding an immediate implementation of the ceasefire. earlier today, these randy military launched a barrel issue strikes against what it said. what hezbollah targets in southern bay roots? israel's military, it says it struck 20 targets in just 120 seconds. at least 7 people were reported, kills thousands were wounded. for the 1st time is route also issued as actuation. warnings for the center of a root attach a whole is a senior fellow with the middle east program at the center for strategic and international studies. and she's joining us now from washington dc. welcome to dw, thank you for your time. uh, benjamin netanyahu just gave defiant speech. do you think the israel is truly

interested in ending this war? i think few words truly end these days, including potentially this one. um, this is obviously a, a 60 day pause and hostilities in the hopes that it will lead to a, a lasting cease fire. and no, no, no information on a piece agreement between the warring parties at all. but the other thing to note here is that 60 days takes us into the new us administration, the president trump administration. so one could see the potential for a whitening war when that comes. but for now, the hope is that at least this gives a break in hostilities. speaking of the us, what has washington have to do to get this deal on the table? that's a great question. we've seen a flurry of diplomacy for weeks of not months now. i am fox seen recently in the

region and the hopes that he could secure actually a cease fire deal during his trip. but we're seeing that play out right now. i'm guessing there was a lot of promises to israel in terms of defense, as has always been the case and, and continued sort of protection of israel uh, arms deliveries, etc. in order for israel to, to be able to, to a stand any kind of attacks in the next 60 days. if not more. the, the other aspect of the ceasefire that had been an issue was whether or not israel would be able to attack once again. if it felt like the ceasefire had been broken and it wasn't entirely clear what the terms of that would be. but it seems like the us is on board for, for anything that it needs to deliver. at least in the next 60 days. israel assess out to disrupt a week and has the law as a political and military force does

a sci fi deal mean that they have succeeded in that's, i mean, what spaces hezbollah and right now as well. i think the biggest win store or for israel was actually just attaching the the cease fire and level and on with the cease fire in gaza. we've seen a ramp up in the offensive on, on. because a while we've seen that cease fire with love and on and undoubtedly we've seen as a compensation of leadership and the rank and file within hezbollah, mass in other like minded groups in, in recent months. so undoubtedly this is a, this is a group that has been terribly weekend. that said, i think with all of these sort of asymmetric groups, they tend to not want to, to engage in more with israel or the united states had on. but they would like to do it through through a symmetric warfare. so it's entirely possible that has been le hunkers down and re

groups and recuperates for, for, for the next conflict. you and resolution 171 end of the last major will between israel and has bla in 2006, nearly 20 years later. is it still the right framework to build a new ceasefire around because it didn't work out last time? did a i know it and it certainly does not. um, what we seeing in the ceasefire arrangement is that uh has the little draw all sorts of boots on the river and that hundreds, if not thousands of lebanese armed forces will essentially take their place alongside unit fil forces in the cell. um to ensure the, the that that mandate is actually fulfilled. the issue is that hezbollah while weekend is a much, much stronger component of the lebanese political landscape today, then it was and,

and so it kind of remains to be seen of lebanese politicians would be able to really seriously detached themselves from has the butler. there is a danger in that we've seen a lot of political assassinations in the past of a link to syria and has buller. so i think that it would be very challenging to completely eliminate has the influence from the country altogether. there is supposed to be an international committee over seeing the ceasefire and who's going to be on that committee? and could that be a sticking point? and all of this as well, that has been a sticking point. israel has disagreed with france being on that committee. the palestinians have disagree with britain being on that committee, but it also seems like they dropped their disagreements. so it's unclear thought that if not, we'll continue to be a sticking point. but i'm sure that that will be an avenue for any kind of issues

that come up that will inevitably come up in the next few months to, to, to, to at least have some kind of multi lateral effort to resolve those issues. and amongst those issues is the billions of dollars worth of damage that's been done and loved and on. um, for instance, going to have to be a part of that solution. and many others as well. nothing yahoo is saying that israel will now focus on the reigning threats. what do you think he has in mind when he says, well, i think that this leaves the door open for israel to continue to pursue it's, it's for um, by any means necessary. so whether that's through hezbollah, from us, other proxies in iraq and syria, or directly with iran. i think that his, his rhetoric essentially just leads the door open for his political opponents and his allies like benny gans, who have a pose the ceasefire in the past. to be able to continue to,

to sort of knock out any kind of iranian assets for the foreseeable future. natasha, hold from the center for strategic and international studies in washington, dc, and it's actually thanks so much for your time. thank you. the us president elect donald trump has announced plans to impose 25 percent terrace on all inputs from mexico and canada when he returns to the white house in january. trump claims america's near neighbors for doing too little to prevent the flow of migrants and drugs into the us. trump has threatened to hit the chinese goods with a 10 percent tariff on top of existing love ease. he campaigns on the use of terrorist to boost us industries, but on the economist of wounds that american consumers would end up paying the price. now trade is just one of the issues is donald trump has with china. the

double use chief international edison richard will, could, takes a while to look now at what a trump 2 point, oh, presidency could mean for proto us china relations. a donald trump is back, and she's promising a return to an american 1st foreign policy. and that means taking on china, he's chosen to hoops with a big jump, sundays, marco rubio for 6th street state. and mike wolfe's as national security advisor. both see china as the historic threat to us power. so what can we expect? well, let's take a look at the 2 biggest issues, the military situation, and the prospect of a trade military fence. she, jim ping is now well into his 2nd decade in power. china is getting stronger and more aggressive. in the south china sea, it's coast guards, direst vessel from the philippines, and it's being threatening taiwan with air and navy drugs. either of these flash

points could start a war. the drags in the us. there is a risk and a growing risk of a use of force by china, either in the south privacy or in the taiwan strait. we know front of the us intelligence community that senior tech has told his military that it must have the capabilities to type type one by force in 2027. trump does not want that to happen while he's in charge. he has said time and again that he's going to prevent or is from happening and that was wouldn't happen under his watch he's. that's where he criticized joe biden. i think that resonated with the american public. so the us military will need to did tough. she, tim, paying for making moves on taiwan or the philippines and help us has

a problem. a really big problem. to explain that, let's take a look at a map on china is east coast. there's a little island, just off shanghai. this is where you find that young man shipyard, which is a jewel use civilian military size. it recently launched china is us to aircraft carriers. so what's the problem for the us? well, this single shipyard has more capacity than all of the shipyards in the united states . put together, that's according to the csr. yes. think tank here in washington. and of course, jenna is not. china is only shipyard. the csr, yes. reference is a leak from the us navy briefing, saying that china is over roll ship, building capacity is $230.00 times greater than americans. yes, you heard that right. $230.00 times the west can build 100000 tons

of ships, naval and civilian every year. china can build 23000000 us may have the edge in terms of quality in some areas. but on that front too, there's little doubt that china can capture this is now trump's problem, and he wouldn't be able to fix it on his own. oh, it's a very, very serious problem and united states in order to get this right is going to have to also rely on japanese and korean allies who are ahead and ship building it's, it's going to be multi off alliance effort to get to get allied ship building up to anywhere close to our china is okay. hold that thought for a moment. let's move on to that other big issue. trace trump made imposing terrace on chinese imports cents a piece of his election campaign terrace downstairs. so, you did this before unleashing a war of what he saw as unfair trade with china,

that he never got to finish. this time there's a danger that he'll have to record with coming from china that from your, from also to last with european leaders over trade in his 1st term. and he's threatening to hit them with terrorist. again, the risk here is said from could start trade was with china and europe at the same time and that combination could back fine. it would open the door for badging to further divide the united states and europe. this could end up in a situation where your p in the country seek to benefit from greater trade with china. ok, let's pull the pieces together. and on both the military and terrace from could use some help from allies. as we catching up with china is maybe could be impulsive that says korea and japan and taking on china of a trade would be much easier with europe on so. so can from go from america 1st to

america plus friends. that could be a stretch for a man who's been such a skeptic of alliances for so long will soon find out whether with challenges this big. he decides there are deals to be done this time around. and some will we can speak to our a wine, he's a senior research and advocacy advisor on the us and china ops, the international crisis group. and he's joining us now from washington. welcome to d, w. now, china has said that no one will win a trade war. is that true? does anyone stand to gain here? well, thank you for having me on your program. the president elect seems to think that the united states will and he, most during his 1st administration. since he's been out of office and actually dating all the way back to the 1980s, donald trump believes that parents are a means of addressing economic and balances. he believes that the benefits accrue

to american consumers. but as you've just said in your opening remarks, of the overwhelming evidence suggests that when a country imposes terrorist and it's for and it's firms are importing those goods that actually bear the costs. and those costs are very often past the american consumers. we have any, we haven't miracle evidence from his 1st administration demonstrating that this trade war and that the care didn't work. the costs are borne by companies and consumers. and i think it stands to reason that if the president elect goes ahead with this place there, once again, american companies and consumers with their the front of the cos he's saying from his saying that he will impose a 25 percent tower from goods coming from mexico and canada as well as an extra 10 percent on chinese goods. what could the full out, the, from these kinds of, of terrace, of the very significant and again, just starting to american companies and consumers. the 3 countries you mentioned, these are america's 3 largest trading partners. so the disruptions to continental

supply chains and north american supply chains, global supply chains. the ramifications could be huge, and i think it's also notable that so in keeping with the present alexa, america 1st world view. what's notable is china as a competitor. but if you look at canada and mexico, these are very significant, you know, allies and partners. and so i think that part of his america 1st world view, he very often doesn't seem to make a distinction between us allies and partners on the one hand and us competitors and adversaries on the other. so i think that given that these are, the 3 countries are america's largest, 3 and largest trading partners, ramifications could potentially be very significant. and again, a failure to make a distinction between allies and partners on the one hand and competitors and adversaries on the other is i think the hallmark of the present in the next world view. he said that one reason he's introducing new tariffs on china is to force across down on the flow of drugs into the us in particular offense. and they'll, do you think that this will work? i mean, we'll fuel drugs now into the us. it's it's unclear and i

think it's, i think it's difficult, especially unilaterally when you impose these kinds of measures unilaterally. i think it's very difficult to secure the kinds of concessions that you're looking to obtain in one rational or at least one hypothesis that some of you ever says positive is that you're the president elect is looking to to use this pledge essentially is an opening game but he's looking to impose pressure to put pressure on china to put pressure on the others, so that he doesn't actually have to go through with the, the full credit of 40 or the full spread of what he is a pledge a. but again, what we've seen with these kinds of economic measures is when they're impose unilaterally, they tend to be quite effective. so the more multi lateral support you can engender, can enlist the more effective they're likely to be. just one other point that i would make is that, you know, when donald trump was 1st elected president, he was a novelty, not only for child, but for the entire world of china. now he studied him and his world view and his tactics now for, for a year. so this time,

i think donald trump is going to confront a very different china, the china is and is prepared for this kind of tactic. coming from the present in the left, china's economy is in class of vulnerable position right now though, isn't it? so how will that factor in, i mean, how, how will china be able to react to all of this, of the older 2 interesting dynamics under, there's somewhat intensive with one another. the 1st dynamics of the 1st reality, which is the one that you mentioned is of the chinese economy is indeed a vulnerable right now. china is managing mountain roadside winds on the one hand. so i think trying to certainly is more vulnerable to tariff this time around. it was in, in say 20172018. 2019. on the other hand, as i said earlier, you know, trying, it hasn't been sitting idly by when the truck a minute. the 1st company, ministration initiated, is campaign in 2018. it really set off. alarm bells inside china and china said they're becoming less align from the dollar. becoming less exposed to us. economic pressure is not just an economic imperative, is an existential, a whole society,

a national security imperative. so even though chinese economy is more vulnerable now, i think relative to what it was several years ago, china has been, i think, taking several steps to insulate itself from economic pressure. so i think that in the aggregate is probably less vulnerable to economic pressure now than it was when the trump administration initiated its 1st crush of tears back in 2018. allie, while i'm from the international crisis group, thank you so much for your time today. we appreciate that. thank you for having me on. as the an economic downturn, a dysfunctional government, and a surge and political extremism, germany was long held up as a symbol of stability and progress. now it seems to be in crisis and some say it's paying the price of mistakes made by full by chancellor angela medical, who retired in 2021, often leaving the country for 16 years. had detractors accused of being too soft on rush or of becoming dangerously reliant on rush and gas and opening the door to the

far right. but now michael has defended her records in her new book entitled by heights or freedom in the english version. it also has a personal account of her life and career and politics. she explained. so thinking on some of the biggest questions and crises of her career, including a policies on russia, a response to the migration crisis of 2015 until you turn on nuclear energy. and during a 16 years in office medical search, alongside for us presidents full french presidents and 5 british prime ministers, leica. another consent was in the kremlin, in the form of russian president vladimir pollution and muscle describes one moment and searching in 2007. when person let his labradoodle into the room, despite his guests reported fear of dogs, the former chancellor writes that she came to no person as someone who was always

on guard against being treated badly. ready to push back at any time with a power games using adult will making other people ways around him. the w as chief political as somebody say, like us. and it has of course, already read the book i oft is she discovered any surprises or any juicy gossip. and it's $700.00 pages to look. i loved to tell you that there was some kind of a tele detail in that through all of us here. but there wasn't. and it was a remarkable how she stuck a by her policies on community. this is an attempt to explain. it's not an attempt of someone to straighten out the record and the most, the new elements who are really learning about her child who is an upbringing in the ged, in the former. call me this is john many and how she also was grateful for that historic experience, but also the room full of intellect on the news that's her parents enabled her to

have so and no huge surprises in the is the mac. well, you know, but she comes across as a human being as a person, rather than this historic figure feels a bit like you can listen to her internal voice as she was taking some of those historic decisions. like on what became known as the refugee crisis in 2015. that was the w as chief political edison mckayla, cuz know that that is the so for today from the entire team here. thanks so much for watching and have a great day the

from palm trees to out to space in the international space industry or run for them money. they're producing usable rockets and selling the property to students the made in germany on d w. b or own health advocacy by turning into your own ex. this where you're without any

fiction with no surprise. be active the way in the same thing. 16 minutes on d w. the if you like, history with the side of culture, travel and control the sea. and i may send a book us that will put the wow santa back in 0 and every day, not every day we encounter so many things that we don't even notice that they just go straight into the background. but it is still showing a spotlight on them. what you say might just surprise. we're going to dig up the, the on the everyday things around. where did they come from when,

why did they have all the time? i should, we can just search but they increased the amount for of the lesson to put down the, the next stop. the space rockets are launching into orbit to build the infrastructure of the future. thousands of satellites, circle the earth in endless 4 bits transmitting data and signals at speeds that are out of this world. and the super rich, their space bound to round trips included with rockets being caught in mid air. but that's costly and.
