for yourself, i will sing my song, save was like this injustice one, not the one punish. maybe my voice will be heard back to bring to our home seeking justice for the victims of sam assigned this week on d. w, the this is dw, there's coming to live from berlin level and census troops, so to support the cease fire between is real and has pulled up. soldiers from the lebanese army move to these rarely border and thousands of civilians returned to their homes, says troops takes hold. also, coming up. russia is expelling to journalists from germany's main public broadcaster. moscow says it's retaliation for what it describes as german it's targeting of journalists from russian state the

flow and terry martin, thanks for joining us. 11. no one has begun to pulling troops near the border with israel to overseas cease fire between israel and the militant group has full of the deal requires both sides to start withdrawing from the border area is really military, as opposed to nighttime curfew in southern 11 on morning people not to return to areas where its troops are still present, but thousands of displaced lebanese are venturing back to the south. the mohammed bizarre surveys the damage in her village. 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 baby ruth what even if they gave me a castle in b route, i wouldn't give up my house here despite the 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 crab paid the whole way a she says she'll rebuild and restart her family's life here in their home life. no, we're not going anywhere. we're staying here and i'm going to fix it up. you saw me sweeping, i'm going to clean up and stay here and when it comes up we can cover the windows with plastic or something where my children are here. their schools are here and we're not going anywhere in the home of the a has a not a we feel like our soul has returned. the lebanese 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 as it was. and other 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. well as displaced lebanese head back to the south. the country lebanese military is deploying troops near the border to help enforce the ceasefire deal. so while ago i spoke about this with our b route correspondence tele mina, i asked her if lebanon's army couldn't force the troops as well this, this was people here a wondering as well. um, this is what we are about to point out in the next 60 days. of course, if you compare the lebanese army to his ball, it is quite clear that at lex strength,

their liberties date is bankrupt. and this really shows also in the boonies army, which certainly has around uh $65000.00 soldiers at this very light be armed and usually crisis. it's happened quite often that the army was not really able to pay a soldier's proof of salary. but this doesn't automatically mean that the task, the end of a nice army now has, is about to fail. the liberties armies working alongside with the un peacekeeping troops in the south as they have worked together before. and it also depends a little bit on the financial aid that the liberties army is now receiving. the full, ready herds from countries, for example, like cyprus that they want to, that they want to support the needs army. we also know from sure, is this a burden that the european countries that you wants to continue. it's financial aid

for the needs army. and it also depends a little bit on who spa is. they are sticking to the ceasefire. and if they are accepting the presence of lebanese army in the region, supposedly tony, now the fighting, there has destroyed livelihoods and homes. infrastructure. what are you hearing about possible efforts to begin reconstructing? what are you seeing yesterday is that some people went back to the house has already started cleaning away the rubble. but of course, the rebuilding process is very costly and has to do much more as a lot of infrastructure is destroyed as well as like streets. but also water and electricity facilities. and the question really is, who is going to pay for this? because the money state is bankrupt. it doesn't really have the money. and i don't really see the been a state paying for this and we cannot really accept or expect

a national campaign would i personally think it's going to happen to something similar then opposite the baby gloss. but the rebuilding process will mainly be taken care of by private initiatives and n g os. it could also be possible that other states might step in and pay for the process as a, as they have done off of previous was or international organizations. we already heard from view nice if that they want to be part of this that they want to to facilitate expertise when it comes to rebuilding, what was the infrastructure and the schools for children? so thank you very much. that was the w correspondence, stella minute in baby root. meanwhile, across the border and northern israel, an estimated 60000 residents fled their homes over the past 14 months to escape relentless rocket fire from hezbollah, with the cease fire and the fact many or hoping to return home. but assembly,

as the w family guardian reports, not everyone is convinced of their safety. and it's been over 6 months since we have the sun coat last. who'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 pool, she's a new few 100 meters from $11.00. it's just for the music was oh, fairly close. i want to retire in the near future, little as soon as possible, you know, but not with lucy's fire and much trouble. because eventually hezbollah will return and fire rock inside us. that was the way most wonderful. many residents of israel's most share that distrust 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 most on october 7th last year, 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 com has followed the babies. the rest of rockets residents here didn't have to evacuate. even though the city has been in the line 5 from one to 2 skepticism about the seas far prevails. it's gods 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 grip army. we're not afraid in anybody here in the live on. this is a mistake. we must finish the walk on the wall and go back home without security,

where we're under daily attacks from has blah blah. what happens on october is seven's in the south was meant to happen in the north as well as so this is a good number to phone back and slowly. 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 followed 5. well, it's a ceasefire. doesn't motivate, is released to return to their homes in the north. what will i put that question to dw, correspond attorney kramer in jerusalem? well actually just uh, so in this report there are multiple reasons for that. but i think one of the reasons is to have nothing officially told that they should be or could be a moving back. and then a lot of also logistical reasons when i talked with people there and the noise, the said, you know, 1st of all that has been also some damage and some of the communities right on the border in this border area. the army is still in some of these communities as well,

but then there also these considerations by families to has been away for a year that has been re schooling that children some were us to have been renting places. so this is also a fact though, of course, so many to re think of returning, but again, there's also this sense. so if he's been hearing that this might be so too early, it's still, it is considered a temporary, as these 5 people will see if this, the holes, people will see how that is really all me, is able to respond to a possible violations that want to see if anybody's army is assert and assertive enough to take over in this area. they don't want to see a situation what some of them have been seeing after the war in 2006 over the years . when his ball uh was actually loud then and the eyes to reagan strings and to come back to the border area. what does this cease fire agreement,

tonya mean for is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu and is governments? well, i think we've been hearing a lot of criticism, especially from community leaders in the north, but that house being, you know, for the past year, so they said that the government is not handling this very well. so i think the bottom line is here. again, those people are against the government against that in yahoo, or support the government. they will stay like this day is not a huge movement yet. i mean, it's still early days and disagreements. and we haven't seen anything. uh, you know, substantially changing in those polls and i think what was interesting to see is that there was not, i mean, the wherever reservations there, where there was a position from some of his cabinet members, especially from the far right. but only one of our rights are men coming in men, but it's him a ben via voted against disagreement. this would have looked much,

much different if he would be talking about a seas file hostage deal in garza where those cabinet members have actually threatened to top of the government. so i think there is a sense here that again, this is a temporary, a c 5 for now and you know, is really has to the ability to respond to violations. it even so it's limited. but again, this also defense, this is 60 days to 60 days, and when there's also new administration coming in in washington, and this means not all of it is yet a set in stone. tony, thank you very much. that was the w's, tanya kramer in jerusalem. a sketch up all the few other stories making headlines around the world. today. us president elect donald trump's transition team, says several of his cabinet picks have been received. a has received threats during bom, alerts among those targeted were, it least that's to phonic. trump's choice to service us and boss,

or to the u. n. and lee seldom tap to lead the environmental protection agents. at least 2 people have been killed in anti government, protests and mozambique demonstrators opposing the outcome of a dispute at the election class. the security forces in several cities was that because seen mass protest since its ruling party claim victory earlier this month, if has held power for nearly 5 percent. south korea is battling a 2nd day of heavy snow fall. authorities say at least 3 people have died in and around the capital sol. flights have been cancelled in ferry surfaces, interrupted was, comes a day after the country recorded as heavy as november, snow fall. since records began over a century ago. lithuanian says it has not yet found any evidence that del cargo plane crash near building as the airport was caused intentionally. the plane was traveling from live c here in germany to the lithuanian capital. when it went down

on monday, investigators are examining the plains flight data recorder. one of the 4 crew members was killed in the crash. now to the war in ukraine and russia has launched what ukraine is calling a mass of attack on his energy infrastructure. authorities say emergency power outages are in place nationwide leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power. there are also reports of large explosions in the capital keep and other cities. this comes after authorities issued a country wide error rate alert due to incoming missiles. well, let's get the very latest. now. we cross to our correspond, me said just well, she's in, keep me sure. what more can you tell us about these attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure by terry seems like on the massive attack was very focused on energy infrastructure. fuel across ukraine,

we know that according to the ukranian armed forces at least $70.00 to $95.00 m, a strategic bumble took off from russia and they would have an idea of messiah as use 2 of the key. it's $1.00 oh $1.00. as well as the caliber cruise midsize the it's comes in ballistic, midsize, or to target energy and plus talk so many leave. now already, according to local authorities, we know that just in the 3 regions of leave neighbor leading and lives over to 1000000 people. how are without following this was the 3 reasons we know that, that are all across across the country. some caused by direct hit some cause as a precautionary measure and they don't fit or you can agro is wanting that the whole country will be more blackouts. we know that for example, in the city of coast, so on the loop of transport lines, we're knocked off so it's not just heat. and we know that there was also water supplies impacted and trans services across the country destruction. however,

restore her authorities in ukraine dealing with all of those how they responding innovation a well, unfortunately tell you this, this already been sent a tax federal shield precisely in the energy infrastructure, this theater alone. and this is seen as a mass of cam, seeing, to put pressure on ukraine as it enters, as it already is in the total window of this war. and oh and is your thought of these are quite prepared to the best of the capacities, of course, as soon as any kind of pull bumble stick off the emergency or precautionary blackouts. as soon as any strikes are reported, local local officials jump in to connect these power lines to alternative outlets, for example, and look, water lines and energy lines will connected to our tentative power sources. so there is preparation on the official level. there's also preparation on the domestic level people installing generators and keeping follow bangs to the best of the capacities. but of course, keep here the

a quarter to use. the lensky has been reminding western boss most of more than more air defenses are also needed to be able to then pop the capacity of ukraine to defend itself against these strikes and not just react to when the hits already happened. for me. sure, thank you very much. that was dw nameesha, john as well in key real russia is expelling to employees of the german public service broadcasters. a r d. the russian for ministry spokesperson said a correspond in technician, were ordered to hand in their accreditation and leave russian territory soon. the committee to protect journalists called the decision. another act to restrict independent reporting in russia. moscow says it's responding to a move by german authority has to deny residency permits to rush in journalists from various outlets, including the network channel. one german government has denied claims that it's ordered the broadcasters office to close. well joining me now for

more is dw rica bureau chief, uri rachelle, to your russia claims this expulsion order, follows a similar move by germany, which berlin strongly denies. so what set moscow spent in motion as well? it's very, we're dealing here with the different versions of their actions side claims. so that is a b roll over that option. states finance potential one, what kind of a come out in gym and he was closed by the german government, but the german authorities. however, the german foreign office reject these claim and says if the german government has nothing to do with it has not closed any russian offices in the gemini around the local immigration or authorities in the lead and confirmed that full journalist from various different and trust and media outlets not only from 10 to one, by the way, as well as a wife or one of the reporter. they all had to been denied the residential account residency permits. and the reason of that was that they were involved in spreading

misinformation, propaganda to describe it, to gemini as a state. and to the uh, by the way that decision was set to be done. uh, in order to the new sanctions against profit that includes sanctions against pressure and propaganda media as well smell, you are the head of the w's bureau. in moscow, you are a when it was forced to close just before rushes invasion of ukraine. what was that like? an all lowercase in february 20, but to, to just a month before the start that address from the state finance 10 o r t was denied. broadcasting license in gemini, as it was going see, does not independent medical. this is it a pull. testable, allowed to continue working in germany without any restrictions, but all of the w as office can both go head to close in response and i will forward and call excluded me. had to leave russia. we won't take an altered patients away, even though we couldn't report from russia anymore as an option to sort of just of

course cool the silence of the independent voice of our tunnel of the w. austin, people bands from us go. we have been reporting on russia from other places above all here from lexia and countries at the by the way, i bowled us directly on the russians and we also have strong russian desks. we bought the teams at our headquarters in germany, who have many sources and contents in russia to provide all audience with unbiased information about the restaurant. now, some foreign journalists are still living and working in russia. what sort of risks do they face? yearning still, right? is it still working and living is there even go off? cuz it will start with hundreds of journalists left russia main, the russians on the list, people with russian passports. and so we also have many restaurants here. lots, you know, by the way, journalists will still live and who still work in russia have a ha the times. and before the war, at the so called documentations for foreign correspondents only issued for 3 months

and not for a year as they used to be in the past before the more started and many no longer get the good patient at all. then a series of reporting itself has become more complicated because people in russia are simply afraid to give interviews to 40 report to us, especially at the west end report. as we, as the double. you can see that the so called for an agent in prussia and since of the yeah, the magic 2nd case of the us report that you want guess coverage with no. is that a west of the report that is also being jailed? i guess coverage was sentenced to a long present term for alleged espionage and was under the least of the dramatic prisoners swap. your thank you very much. that was our former must go bureau chief, now our regular purity, your shadow australia is senate is debating a bill that could see children under the age of 16 banned from accessing social

media. this comes just days after the lower house of parliament overwhelmingly approved the measure. if passed by the senate, the government says social media companies will have one year to implement the changes or face massive fines. critics say the plan has privacy risks and may isolate young people, but supporters of the bill argue the age restrictions will help protect children. let's get more of this data from josh taylor in melbourne. hays a technology reported for the guardian and has been following the debate about the band very closely. josh, understand the bill has not yet passed the senate. what happens next, as we're basically waiting for it to pa, slightest, on our end. so it's, it's essentially the last sitting day for the senate for 2024. and they've, they've trying to pass around 31 pieces of legislation and, and the basically going through the process of trying to get them altered very

quickly. and this is probably going to be the one that they do towards the end of things. so it has been devised earlier today, but they going to get it kind of get back to the light. it's not i think. and then because there are amendments that are going through in the site, it will have to go back to the house to represent a smaller a bit before it comes on. but this is, this is not too big a deal because the way the bill is designed, it's going to be a year before the platform is going to be expect as a stop kicking people on this. explain also platforms if this social media bill is past what effect could it have? yeah, that's one of the big question. so much of the way that this bill is constructed is that we don't really know or which platforms it's going to apply to and how the shirts is going to work. we do know that it will probably cover sites like facebook, instagram snapshot to talk things like that. and we know that you tube is excluded because the government has made a decision on that. but the bill it effectively in house the minnesota to decide at

a later date what platforms are now and, and the other thing is like how this will actually work. how people are going to verify their agents. you something that's going to be worked out later through. there's a, there's a trial of, of a distress technology going on from now until the middle of next year. and through that process, i figure out what works, whether it's gonna be sort of biometrics or if it's going to be uh, you know, checking in id or checking a bank card or looking at your activity and figuring out your age and everything like that. but we're still there still not a lot of detail about how it's actually gonna work in practice. now this bill for under sixteen's would mark some of the toughest social media controls in the world . why or authorities in australia and parents in australia. so worried about social media, you know, i think this is really being driven by the media and a lot of ways and by the political science, more than anything else. i think there has been a, a strong campaign from,

from some news outlets in australia that have been pushing for this. and the political class in australia has adopted at the opposition, had adopted it for awhile. and then the government came and came on board eventually. and i think that's really what's driving it in terms of if you look at the public column here, i think that there was a reason pull out this week and said certainly some set of distractions are in favor of it. but i think there's a lot of questions about how effective it is going to be it's, it's the experts that we're talking about the bill. some of them are very much in family because they see that mental health issue that, that uh, you know, kids on social media, other device. but a lot of people think it, they want to be effective. and a lot of people think, you know, that coming on the succeeds or social media particularly vulnerable minorities. ready with disabilities to be q, people could actually have a was impact on their mental health. josh, thank you very much. that was technology reporter josh taylor in melbourne. so you're watching dw news,
