no, with oh you lost on the run. started the send, the a c, d w the the, this is the w news lives from the land. ukraine renews cold for full nato membership. keeps says it is the only security guarantee that could make a difference in the face of russian aggression, but may say for administer sneezing and brussels. i'm still not saying yes. also coming up is with miss rebels. ted down a statue of syria is president a shot all a side as they continue their results in the countries northwest. there are reports that they getting closer to the city of homa plus. what happens next? are the americans are it says of voicing concern over us president elect donald trump, future policy in the middle east and health alarm and daily dw reports on the

dangers of toxic a to pregnant women and that unborn children the money making. and welcome to the program. ukraine has once again called for for nathan membership, saying that this is the only security guarantee that masses in the face of russia's invasion for an ministers from the alliance. amazing to discuss continued support for the keys in its defense against most guys. president below them is the landscape suggested that he could agreed. so if he's fi with russia, this nato extends its protection to the parts of the country controlled by ukraine . a so has so far declined to all saying, pray membership as it concerns that the who with russia would escalate into

a conflicts involving the let's go straight to brussels and speak to alexander phenomenal bureau, chase that i think some of the tell us what is a mock, what to the nato 6th street general. what's he said about the possibility of ukraine becoming a member? what michael, to have to say here. his date was pretty much in line with the official position of the alliance. he's tress to that ukraine is on its past towards becoming a member, and he emphasized that this pos is you reversible, but he also made clear there will be no immediate decision. so there is nothing can you to see there, so to speak. he instead focus on what he thinks is very important right now, namely to provide ukraine with everything they need with weapons, military equipments with, i'm

a nation to strength and key. it's position includes 10 shown language stations with who attended because of course everyone to hear key and stats of some talks may take place at some point in the future. so this is for cruise off the nato secretary general to strengthen key of position 10. so talk, but there will be no diffusion about the membership um for ukraine and invitation to membership. that is as not secure because you, members of the alliance are still not on the same page when it comes to dad. some of them would be in favor of extending such an invitation to ukraine, others of warnings that as long as you queen is at war with russia, that such an invitation cannot be extend that because they fear the dead could attract the alliance into the conflict. and there's been a lot of talk about making nato trump proof hasn't. now what

a native members doing to prepare for the next trump presidency, which will start in january, will they have a job? so it's a couple of measures. for instance, a need to is about to set up a new command in v spot in germany. and this is meant as for nato to be able to take a more coordinating role when it comes to military aids to ukraine. and when it comes to the training of the ukrainian soldiers and district a g here seems to be a strategy that is also adopted by the nato secretary general to convince president elect donald trump. not to disengage from nato to convince him that you are of security is crucial for the us. even as is about to shift is full. it's focused to the in the pacific and not clue tests talked about this today

during kids press conference. he said to that, when we look at ad said the presence of north korean soldiers in russia, when we consider that iran is providing commercial with ms files and drones. and when we also consider that chinese companies are producing a tax loans for russia. and then of course, the conclusion is that what is happening in europe could have consequences for other areas. so that this is a kind of a conflict in a lot with the global nature. and that is why and he's conclusion, it is of course, important for the us to stay engaged in nato and of course, to continue their support for ukraine alexandria. thank you so much for bringing us up today. so that's the w's brussels bureau. chief, alexandra from nomine. reporting that to now in georgia security, it forces in protest as of clashed again as thousands continued to rally against

the government, suspension of torques on joining the european union, pro e u. demonstrations gathered in front of the parliament building. and to please see for the 5th consecutive nights, the prime minister say, and he will not negotiate with the opposition. despite the process, the opposition is accusing his georgia dream policy of election, manipulation of trying to bring the country closer to russia, police as detains more than 200 people since the protests began. robert hamilton is the head of the razor program of the foreign policy research institute in philadelphia we often earlier, whether there is a chance of a russian intervention in georgia. well, and again, and that's, that's the most critical question. yes, i think roger obviously got his hands busy in ukraine. it also has a chance busy. no, sir. i the, the aside, the team, the ronnie anderson has belong with your writers. partners in syria. i have the adults a pretty serious blow by the opposition of the past several days. russia does have

several 1000 troops stationed in georgia territory legally in southwest. that again allows you to break away regions that referenced, sees in 2008 after the baby, georgia. so it does have a capacity, i think, to mouse some sort of operation. we obviously hope it doesn't come to that. uh, the question is, what the georgia government would do is in dire straits that it would request assistance from moscow, or would it resist either sort of diplomatically by back channel telling the russians, please don't intervene. let us handle this, or would it resist? probably i don't have an answer to the question. i think we're, it's a really on certain times right now a, let's foreign policy x, that robot have robot hamilton speaking to us of the area. we're going to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world now. and romania is constitutional court has confirmed the results of the 1st round. this presidential elections pro russian fluoride candidates. colleen, joe, jessica, and surprisingly one of the 1st round will be on the ballot for sunday's rental,

along with conservative ellen alice coney. the decision comes a day off to parliamentary elections produce a fragmented results. the force in vietnam has upheld the death penalty in the country's largest fluid case. real estate tycoon, true on my line, had appealed to april conviction, which held her responsible for the best elements and bribery and a bank for seen. the court ruled, but her execution could be replaced with the less the penalty if she were pays about $11000000000.00 in lessons. all the weinsteins will is say, the disgrace to movie mogul has been hospitalized off to an alarming blood test results. it's the least has health issues facing the 72 year old for my producer. once again, as a wasting re trial in your cost to his 2020 right conviction was over tons the must remain in jail until then because of a late to 2020 to los angeles right conviction. and the dates of cable connecting

sweden and finland has been damaged near helsinki. faxing thousands of internet customers, initial reports of the 2 breaches spot to lump in the wake of the recent suffering of both succeed communication cables. but data infrastructure provided global connect said one break was because of excavation, work, and finish. police say that there is no evidence that either disruption was deliberate, or else they're in and such as have captured for new towns. bringing them closer to the central city of hama, as according to opposition act to this. and state troops have retaken some territory that they lost last week when the rebels captured the city of alaska and surprised a lender that of this footage taken by the high. i'm sorry, are alshaun rebels on the weekend? shows them entering a palace in a less oh, believe to belong to president of

a shock and all of these pictures. so protest is toppling a statue of the president's late brother, the rebels risk read nice thing. there is simple who have lost a lot to government forces nearly a decade ago. so who all these anti government forces in syria and what exactly did i want? one key pa is the group i up to rear alshaun or h t s as its name. it already controls much of northwest syria and is expanding its reach as dw as lisa alice now reports the syrian rebels, celebrating after entering elect the country 2nd largest city defensive to the world by surprise. even though some report suggest they had been planning the new push against the assad regime for a while. they weren't even though the insurgents all led by g, had his group hired to, to, hey, i assume known by the initials

h t s. they are the most powerful rebel function in syria. a don't made up of some searching groups at at least 60000 well trained fighters. they, goldman, italy, province, an area of at least $3000000.00 people in the northwest, which is parts of the around for 30 percent of syrian territory. not controlled by president bush or i'll assad of the h t. s. was founded by islam is rebel abu mohammed ali bologna, emerge from the group known as almost rep from the te, set up in 2011 and the early stages of serious war. back then under galandes leadership, they were a direct affiliates of all kind of reports and we broke run through the group in 2017 to become the new organization now known as h t. s. they've long been designated

a terrorist organization by the u. n. on the us, they've also been accused of human rights abuses and areas they control, including executions, the persecution of religious minorities and women. are they more recently the claims have disavowed terrorism and are trying to present a more moderate face. and all the key players is to key. now we can't say for sure how involved it is in this latest rebel operation to take a left though. but as that, our stuff of house from the home, like both sundays, some think tank, explains what is happening is in took his interests. turkey has for a long time tried to normalize supplemented relations with the federal team, which did not work out um, because of, uh, a subs positioning. um, so there is of course, an interest to raise their own on the go negotiation capacity. with this operation

at the same time, there's a strong push within turkey to the put the syrian refugee population from turkey back to syria. um, so for that um, more triggers affiliated uh, controlled areas in the northwest are and its interest. and at the same time, um, we also need to highlight that. um, there's syrian agency in what we see happening right now. many of the people that are that live in it looked at live in the northwest, will have more than half of the population are internally displaced. syrians this place, from areas on the assets control who have heavily suffered under the regime. also in recent years, there has been heavy bombardment by russia and um, the upsets uh a surgery team. and many of these fighters that are advancing now in syria

are the syrians, many of them from an apple who had now for the 1st time the chance to go home and to see their families again. a middle east, ex, that's osh to hide house. meanwhile, 11 on is riley strikes on 2 southern villages have killed at least 9 people. that's to spite the 6 tail ceasefire. it's the worst attack since the truce between israel and his beloved took effect. last week, the strikes came and a buffer zone from which both sides ought to withdrawal. israel's army says it targeted rocket launchers and terrorist infrastructure and did so in response to a hezbollah attack. as the lebanese was to rebuild area is struck earlier, the speaker 11 on hold on a minute accused. israel is violating the ceasefire. more than 60 times. journalist alex, the dean, isn't tel aviv is his take on why the truth is so shaky a less than

a week since the beginning of the the ceasefire. we already see the both started. all right. actually uh, either of violating the agreements or at least uh, nothing cementing just 100 percent on the yesterday after the attack by this by law where they have fired to block us toward the army base and how to do the area of these radius price started apparently $9.00 people were killed yesterday and live on on the comes as a be a 10 minute story attack, pulled out, here's the law and said that they themselves said that they are retail, the aging of their what they call is rose, violation of the ceasefire agreement now, from what the status of the, from the is really perspective we're talking about a series of his beloved by relations into any of their attempt to actually transfer width is from studio to the area of that as well as active that comb boy by a drunk and also a number of, uh, his,

a lot of places that were in many cases inside the, um, the towns and villages and stuff and uh, and were attacked by these ready, uh, air force uh wants to make sure that the yes, the agreement that doesn't only just sign the paper because it's really a piece of thing. this is worthless, what's in what it is important and actually uh, enforcement of every month. and that's what, what we're seeing today. a journalist by like a slit dean and tell of eve now with conflict raging in several parts of the middle east, arab americans a wasting to see how donald trump's new administration will handle foreign policy decisions. the in particular, the war in gaza. he's already announced a number of students, israel supporters who also fill his top posts. the current biden administration's perceived inability to rein in israel's campaign, and garza alienated many verses in the community. and it showed at the ballot books

the w's janelle dom allowing reports now from michigan state, with a large arab american community. and one that was one the by trump. they may be in michigan, but the hearts and minds of the 0 of americans are focused on the middle east. almost everyone here know someone affected by the conflicts there. these high schoolers in northville, a suburb of detroit or fundraising for relief efforts. asking speakers like, ma, jose done to talk about the one i just saw in the line. that is the the public opinion american law graduate says she's hopefully things will get better. which is also worried about trumps appointees such as mike huckabee, from bassett or to israel. huckabee one said that there's no such thing as a palestinian and that speaking of the palestinian people was a political tool to try and force land away from israel. it's very disappointing to see who, hey, who he chose to

a point because it seems like they're all part of this broader agenda to continue to support israel and to continue to ignore and completely act like they are not committing crimes. like no children are dying like no so billions are being targeted over in the air of the american majority, city of dearborn and neighboring dearborn heights. many blame the biden administration for how israel has conducted the war. many voted for trunk among them. bill by the, the mayor of dearborn heights, he has memories of war himself having 5 w west from lebanon as a child in the seventy's bessie campaign for the president elect in michigan, despite trump's track record of supporting israel. the cabinet picks don't bother him, but us military does a soft shipping weapons. but what they're doing with a weapons is totally, i guess. everything that we believe in, you know, like us, when i was in the military, you know, you have rules of engagement. you know,

you have things that you have to abide by. so why are we abiding by something, then the people that were sending weapons to, they're not biding by the same rules. other arab americans felt so strongly about this that they chose to leave the top of their ballot blank, or voted for a 3rd party to show their disapproval of us policy towards israel. just like college ronnie, a palestinian american activist. we met in michigan a year ago, fresh which we are going to stand firm on our principles that we're not going to vote for someone who is an enabler of war crimes against a promising is in gaza, very fast forward to today. we catch up with them and ask whether he thinks that was the right thing to do. also in light of trumps cabinet picks, what i was hoping is that the democrats would take step back and say ok, obviously we're upsetting a lot of people. however, instead off reflecting, they became more involved and i, i was never under any this illusion that,

that trump is going to be better. whether they're happy or not, about the outcome of the us election. erica americans and michigan and elsewhere are united in their hope for us with and to the war. they just have different visions about how that can be achieved by who so the air pollution is hissing. people hauled in india is capsule. daily, pregnant women and the unborn babies are facing additional additional dangerous experts. a warning the pull at quality increases the risk of pregnancy complications, such as pre, if i'm caea and can even lead to premature bus. and there are also warnings, but prolonged exposure to toxic can disrupt a baby's development. awesome a good and her husband are worried about the health up in unborn child. doctor. i'm here to see my doctor because i'm feeling anxious and having trouble breathing. it

boucher indeed is that hazardous levels an awesome i wanted to see and kind of call it just to check. a baby is not in danger. it's due in one month. the doctor's assistant major with high blood pressure and reduced activity unborn child dr. off, whatnot. advices last month to stay in those like many of the other patients. how is she has seen the shop right in pregnant women complaining, a breathing difficult diesel and mothers forced to go book prematurely of the sect that opening them the liberty back to one of them is in pollution because the level of it pollution is very high. and they live this time, and every pregnant woman's odd having somebody thing shows this, but it is true back to this list. i'm saying of dolman,

that's like david's increase chance of pretty don't deliver to cities one of the most, if you could squeeze in the well, many of them are in south asia and medical studies show that the region has highest rates of pregnancy last global export. see, there's a link in india does come back to us. believe the health guys is on the lack of political will to balance rapid, double up, and then what with and what it meant to protection or pointing out that there are some who suffer more than others. kinda speak to the adults like smoke. smoke is effecting every everyone in the city is not going to sped anybody, but it's still, it's still under privilege. the who are the most wonderful meet little thought, the daily wage. labor working in construction. she's one of the many invisible hands that followed in jessica nomic group. she is due to gilbert

in a few months and has no way to predict scottsdale from toxic to home in the slums . offers no installation. and she has to go out on money. but the number i have 3 children to feed were poor people. if we don't go out to work, how will we survive if they can just few restore one out of health. sometimes i cough and then sometimes i get a headache or you but you'll dizzy and i can't stand for long from what it was just me and my back hurts at times. and when i think about my child, i feel an easy to you up with. i can do about it stories like little thoughts about that me i'll read, cannot even angry to get them in was going to the actor was, sees it style, told it these take action on it or not and started protecting the lives of mothers

and children to be maya from going so we expect from the government. nothing short of tina. this is what the citizens want. this is what the article 20 bundle for constitution fees. uh for children, it's almost right to clean it clean water for device, and that device she sees that applies to all mothers and children. rather than reach the condo, but not there. but to the bar code, you just open. it's a full, not german trump slot angle. a miracle has really nice. one has her closest allies from when she was in office. the former us president brock obama. the former jasmine chancellor was in washington for an event to launch from them while that to a sold out crowd, but she and a bomb a discuss many of the global issues they had to deal with. well, they were in power from immigration to michael's relationship with russia and evening with angela america and bear rock obama. the sold out event in washington

relationships of i'm and of the chancellor having other than work with president trump. the still see that in action was this wonderful hoping to find some exploration like i'm a, i'm a young guy as i speak to and like, obviously there's lot can be a lot of inspiration from this book that i took off from. for me, i'm responding to rate the expectation for the future. from angela. for 60 years, miracle lead europe's largest economy, shipping, german and european politics. her successes and failures are facing renewed scrutiny with many, asking how her decisions have contributed to the challenges of today. many one is, is some way that you all up today that's to say, tune coming up next in good shape. looks at how to use medication safely without it needing to addiction. and remember, you can always catch up on our youtube channel, dw news on our website, dw, dot com, or on any of us extra media channels,
