she and her family were among the many thousands of lebanese who rushed south to their homes. as soon as they heard a cease fire had been agreed. like in the we were in beirut. what even if they gave me a castle in b. ruth, i wouldn't give up my house here, this parts of destruction and sadness. and although we can't even live in our house now, we're so happy we returned home, so painlessly. thank god, we're all okay. with him, the some of us crap, idaho, where she says she'll rebuild and restart her family's life here in their home. let alone there's no mobil. no, we're not going anywhere. we're staying here. i'm going to fix it up. you saw me sweeping. i'm going to clean up and stay here and when we can cover the windows with plastic or something, what do i need for my children are here, their schools are here and we're not going anywhere in the home of the house. they know we feel like our soul has returned to live in these army has been returning to

the area after has been moved. it's heavy weapons north, under the terms of the truce, nearly a 1000000 lebanese fled their homes. my luck plate, reunited with relatives in their village. this was not the way she imagined her home coming there, but we never expected to return and find con i like this. we thought we'd come back and find everything is it was the weeds returned to our homes and see our loved ones, but we lost a lot of people. we lost so many people we loved. and so many people who we loved lost their homes, with their former lives, devastated by months of full scale bombardment. for many people here, it's very hard to see this as a 1st ray of hope. a house, gentlest stella man, a who's in bay routes to give us the latest on the situation. the people here

are really released many are for the most celebrating in the streets or driving around around in cars, honking i myself of being in the solemn suburbs of a route today where many members of hezbollah were driving around, and motorcycles waving big house, bola flags, and there was also and noticed the laboratory of gunfire. i also saw some presidents of the thousands of groups of a rude returning. and they were taking pictures in front of their destroyed houses . but the mood was not really sad or shocked. it was more in mood of, of victory, and really wanting to type pictures in order to remember this historic day. so the lebanese army has now been deployed to the southern border. what more can you tell us about that of the liberties army itself has announced, but they begun to up to level up their forces south of the tawny river. therefore,

they are moving troops from various different places in dublin onto route the sound, the south, the liberties, the defense minister earlier said that uh, that one is also planning to deploy more soldiers in this house. and uh, scale the number up to one of to 10000 soldiers and the soldiers and the army there now face the very challenging task of, of gaining back the control over the territory. and to ensure that his paula is not rebuilding its forces thera the very influential in his fall, a m p a has on a foot la la, said in an interview with alger 0. that his bullet was planning to cool. operate with a, with the news army, and you mentioned the displaced the many displaced people, all,

most of them now returning home in the south of the country. despite several warnings. yes. they were one of these from the is really ami, but also from the lebanese. i'm you say that presidents should waste with their return and not go back to the border areas, but as thousands and thousands of people still went the highway 2 routes of this house was completely blocked today. with the, with the mess of traffic jams. there were people in cars that had really stopped and piled up mattresses and other belongings on the roof of their cars. and it's not quite clear they're really going back to lived there because most of the villages, or many villages found they are having to distort. there is no infrastructure left as such as the electricity and water. and the winter is coming soon. but maybe some people also just like taking

a look in which state the houses are to return later. still, i'm in a, in a route. stella, thanks so much that update. meanwhile, across the border in northern israel and estimated 60000 residents for the homes over the past 14 months to escape. relentless rocha fly from has blah, with a see saw now and effect many on hoping to return home. but not everyone is convinced the truce will ensure the safety, the w's, m legal team reports. it's been over 6 months since we have done code law. sue's home, what israel's northern border, evacuated to high fall every year ago. now he's using the ceasefire to check on his house. the ceiling was damaged when a real case exploded nearby. standing on his porch, he's a new few 100 meters from $11.00. it's just pretty much, it was all fairly close. i want to retire in the near future over as soon as possible. you know what to look for,

but not with the ceasefire and much trouble. because eventually hezbollah will return and fire rockets that us. that was the way, most wonderful many residents of israel's most share that distrust to the agreement slowly as one of many towns and villages along the border that remain deserted. residents fear that has block could rebuild its capabilities and eventually launch an attack. similar to the one that by how month on october 7th, lost here. the local leaders across the northeast have slammed the seas 5 deal saying it's not enough to restore the safety and to encourage residents to return to the homes in the nearby city of know how ria, a moment just calm has followed the babies west of broken residence here didn't have to evacuate, even though the city has been in the line to find some to, to skepticism about this is far prevails. it's god's that we can,

the sleep or line of butter we're doing believes that it deserves offices for prizes. big mistake, this is by a big mistake. we are a strong web army. we're not afraid in anybody here in the live on. this is a mistake. we must finish the walk on a lot of the you all go back home without security, where we're under daily attacks from has blah blah. what happened on october 7th in the south was meant to happen in the north as well as so we can go to the to phone backend. show me it's time for the to leave again. 60 days. that's how long the ceasefire is meant. last menus ratings who feel time is on has 4 or 5 people in the media have voted and elections for a new parliament. i'm president. the routing swafford policy is looking to extend

it so i see for yeah, hold on power. when for swap, those candidates and the presidential race would make her the country's 1st female head of states. a strong opposition challenge could force in a bit be is 1st run of since the game independence from south africa in 1990. so if his popularity has slipped amid growing frustration of unemployment, policy, results are expected to fight this weekend. and dw, pull to report say yes, co host joins us now from the the movie in a capsule then took at yes. go tell us how did things go on election day as well? yes, thank you very much on your and unfortunately with started out as a, as a very exciting day turned into a bit of a conundrum for the electoral commission, all the media, there's been more and more reports about logistical issues throughout the day. these issues range from the she electoral college paper. they have been issues with

technical devices overheating in the pony stations. and the that has been issues with mobile voting teams, not showing up on time or simply leaving both us behind that already jude. so this a boss that was felt early on for too deep, it's slowly but surely starting to turn into frustration. all of it needs to be stated. there is no violence, there is no unruly behavior, but the most depression is definitely the mounting. on the electoral commission, there was supposed to be a press conference just minutes earlier about these issues. unfortunately, it was cancelled just a moment before it was supposed to happen. and it was replaced by statement read spite and c, n c o p to sharma on the state funded national broadcast. the basically just stating that all these issues are well known and they be under control. but i feel like this is not something that the electrical will take to light. and especially if you a position called you already the mounting a council tech, so to speak,

to has been an official complaint launched by the i p. c. although position policies on a calling for an extension of the vote to process, so we shall see how that turns out. we can confirm that by 2100 local time or the bullet pony stations were supposed to close. but at the same time you see and problem is that all votes, as the cute before 9 o'clock this evening, austin allowed to cost develops tonight. so we're expecting voting to go long into the night. okay, so a multitude of challenges on election day. we can talk about the campaign for a moment. poverty and unemployment pose major challenges in the maybe a was they the main campus campaign issues? yes. especially use unemployment is a huge problem. you know, maybe estimation, say that about 40 percent organ and maybe in youth are currently without a job. so most policies be there really thought to be the position parties actually

focused on that. but these up a whole eve of other issues that are going to be a be targeted by the different parties in the campaign. so i have been targeted. the official good thing is obviously over enough, we all in the media here in one of the worst jobs and it's history. almost 40 percent of the compilation are relying on government provided crowds relieve 8. so this is basically a climate change effect that is especially obviously felt in the media. there are other issues that were also targeted during the campaigning stage of the land question, the question of distribution of land, the lack of adequate housing. and of course, historically they still issues with the reconciliation, especially with former colonial policy, such as germany. okay. you've talked about the challenges on election day. the result is obviously not at all clear. but do you think that maybe a could become part of this trend that was seeing and other southern african countries like what's one,

what longstanding ruling policies will liberation movements have been voted down to the office as well and is all very, very quiet when it comes to this because it is very difficult to predict what's going to happen without any official holding being done before the election yet. and it may be ok. however, it is highly unlikely the according to i don't know, is that swap a little outright do spell of, for example, like the earning policies in botswana and in maricia is the is however, the idea that there are some political policies from the positional side that are trying to steal symbols of swap or we mentioned ip see earlier a r is also another policy to mention dates and that could actually leads to swap and losing enough seats to talk to, to be, to be forced to then form a coalition, which would be a 1st year in the media. however, as i stated, it is highly unlikely that swap will outright use its power in the movement. the w

yes code was in vin, took thank you so much for bringing us up to date the elite as of nordic and bolts that governments amazing over the next 2 days to discuss transatlantic relations regional security and support the ukraine, the polish prime minister, the task will make a guest appearance in january, his country will take on the rotating presidency of the european council is good to mister tusk. is viewed by some as a potential new regional power bro. okay. as a former top official of the european union, donald tusk knows what it's like to be at the center of decision making and brussels. now he wants warsaw as views to carry more weight, especially when it comes to ukraine policy, the traditional e u power. couple of friends in germany hasn't been united on supporting, keep providing an opening for other countries to show leadership. we need unity of

course, but you cannot be anymore the unit you, you know, all of this slow is moving kind of invested in this convo task. once unity 2 in the form of a coalition of like minded countries that believe supporting ukraine is crucial for their own security. and that no decisions should be made without keys. you know, those who could, i mean, nothing about ukraine without ukraine. and i have taken efforts to mobilize prime ministers and presidents of the member states in order to make it's an iron clad principal in which any of these, the nordic and baltic nations have invited to, to attend to their meeting because they have a lot in common they're close to your front line, they invest heavily in their own military's, and they've potentially got the most to lose it for russia. when's the war? as a percentage of his g, d, p, poland, out spends the others and even the us on defense at well over 4 percent. this may be a useful trump card for to come january with the a non duration of

a us president, obsessed with europe, assuming a greater financial responsibility for collective defense. the task for trust is trust. but i think talent has the credibility because it's, it's walking to walk. it's not just talking, but when it comes to talking difficult conversations lie ahead for the to donald's to ask, has criticized trump in the past, harshly and publicly. and they're likely to clash over aid for ukraine. the possibility of a drastic cut in us assistance has sparked a campaign, calling on european nato allies and canada a to boost their own support for keith. the recommendations making the rounds and foreign policy circles applaud tusks, a sort of approach saves the rest of the assets except adverbs into west and you create and use it to cover ground troops during non combat tasks that provides you crime with a safe path into data by extending real security guarantees and stand up for ourselves on all of those funds, poland has been at the forefront of development so far. well,

many may be looking forward to warsaw having more influence in europe. the rise of donald tusk is also bound to meet resistance, especially from europe's traditional power base, which has appeared more comfortable with leading a coalition of the wading than a coalition of the willing. russia says it is expelling to german generalist the foreign ministry set of correspondence, the camera man working in the moscow bureau of germany's a public network, a l d will be ordered to leave the country. the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman murray is a heart. bertha said the expulsions. what in response to similar moves by the gym and authorities against russian. john, unless she said, reports is from the russian network channel. one had been banned from working in germany, fell in projects the russian flames. this falls, the dispute was in the taya, small length of

a from the w russian joins me here in the studio and can tell us more welcome natalia. so 1st of all, what else has the kremlin said about this decision? so 1st of all, the information we got initially was from 10 o one. they say that their bureau has been shut down and their quotes have been expelled, which is not entirely true because the agenda and so we're just denying it somewhere . yeah, the house says it's relations and we're all were there also. um they would like to give the expectations to do different german correspondence. when the russian clinton price will have the same like she had as her claims. well now that 70 side says it's not entirely true because they did not close the bureau. and they also didn't expound russian journalist from germany and on the basis of originally speaking work one that a representative of the german government told today on the press conference. and that he said that he can only assume that it's related to the question to president . swipe, which is the local government in berlin, responsible for not the federal one. okay, you yourself. what in moscow? early in february 2022,

when you that was when the w was ordered by russia to close its bureau that tell us a little bit about that. what, what was it like? how, how did it, how did it happen over ask him as big as chocolate wasn't very frustrating because, you know, we initially were not punished or close for our work, which was there as a political move from kind of, as, again this teach for tat move. because the r t a gemini, was banned from a licensing share from broadcasting initially, but not, not the correspondence for not been from working here. so it was also not very balance. and that sounds. so for us it came as a big surprise. and you know, we were frustrated on this friday morning when we realized we couldn't work any more. of course we didn't have to leave the country immediately, but it was like very, very tough to day. so i can only imagine what our colleagues from i are, they are not experiencing. and why is it possible to report on russia without actually having correspondence? tell us a bit about your experience. it is of course more difficult without being on the

ground, but we're continuing to report on what's happening in washer because it's, it's crucial for the international audience is obviously beat in washington in english, one other languages. of course, we still have, you know, some sources there were still get information, for instance, from colleagues was to have a creation. they're likely our d like other form course one is still working there, but the excess is, of course more limited and we're always more dangerous to the journalistic work in russia every day. that's right, but i mean, obviously they're all still journalists working that, i mean, what tell us a bit more about the situation for them most is by what like on a daily basis. so since the full scale invasion, you know, in the 1st even days of fi um february and march 2022, several laws were passed but made a work of journalists and foreign correspondent, they're extremely difficult even before it was hard to obtain that connotation and all the foreign correspondent must have this official equitation administered for the 1st to work. and then you know this, the laws that came into effects, you know that without fake news or about that,

we're pushing on the war. i'm making the work really, really dangerous, and really limiting it more often, journalists are often also targets, you know, just look into a recent case of evan. jessica, which will street journal correspond, wasn't working there on the people, quotation, and was nevertheless detained. and you know, released in the recent business, you're totally as much smullen so the from dw russian natalia. thank you so much. thank you. to georgia and political tensions. the also, the country's disputes had paul them entry election, many newly elected little make his boy accosted the 1st assessing upon them. and earlier this week, they say last month's vote was ranked in favor of the ruling pro russian children drain policy. critics of the government say as a result could derail george's hopes of joining the u. t. w. 's maria captain monthly reports. now this is the sound of the anger georgian voters

in front of the parliament building. on monday, they say 0 link, georgia, dream potty still the election and see if they will still george's european future to the most writers claim, the government procurement in each on the russians prussian inside to regions and peace celebrated. that'd be 3. despite the reports of the election, fluid by local and international observers. and the session starts with promising to keep the door to us open for venture. sure with abilities, with dignity, and with the process barrow the to your again. opposition and piece boy quoted the session of leaving their seats empty. they don't believe the government is pro europe and say the election was not clean on adult leads at an opposition politician was elected,

but has renounced him on dates. we saw people from security forces coming in and monitoring the output. we saw teachers taking part in, in controlling the index an outcome on behalf of the government election administration could completely control the government. we ask people into really see what they thought. the 2 violations among millions, that doesn't mean that the elections were not fair to the other guys. off to the start, georgia has to be new to an independent dom. we should have relations with everyone . this is tia silva. this level of falsification was on see if euro closest store on us and suspense. these other lies ation for us. i don't think we will have a good future. i was an observer and i share the opinion that there were

some significant violations. you could see who voted for whom the home, the elections, west. 5th, we have the results that we rent as a painting. georgie, a wants to saw itself on the way to joining nato and the european union at beacon of liberal democracy in the complicated region. me from western countries will go ahead in due to meeting this election. so this would be a grave mistake with grave costs in past 30 years, with a lot of trouble with a lot of cost, with a lot of struggle. georgia has remained a pro western vast doing in the region. it was always difficult. we fought wars, but we persevered. we use our western partners. georgia has a long history of long lasting, most demonstrations. we ask an expert, why often monday people once have, why do you think people are not coming out?

they're not happy with the results. there's no clear strategy waiting longer position profits. how to cope with this problem. they sometimes they feel that, you know, there's no chance for any changes, and that's why they're not really into the sequels to, to join the live. the crowds have gone. critics of the election are waiting for the mission, which is set to arrive soon to investigate the strange quite on police, the streets could be shortly. this is a quick reminder for you of our top story of the solid. thousands of displays, people are returning to the homes in 11 on off for a ceasefire between israel and has block came into effect 11 on his thoughts at the pulling. it's all me to the board of regents with israel to help oversee the trip that you are up to date. stay with us. i'll be back off for a short break to take you behind the headlines in the day. and remember,
