ellis, israel's potential options, and we'll hear from us. uh no, i full mcconnell in the country's intelligence community. why she thinks israel has every right to decide its own path. regardless of those calls from alteration i'm feel go in by then, and this is the day. the run stands behind a month behind has been lost and others. we are determined to win and defend ourselves and all our readers when it comes to defending our homeland iran. we are willing to go through anything we have offensive capabilities. we will know what to do and when to do, how much an onset is really was. she makes the mistake. this time the around the response will not be minimal, but immediately severe. we are looking to make sure that around talking through

this, we need to make sure that they complete successful in their diabolical intentions. also coming out of a plan to ban smoking for britain's young people on future generations passes its 1st title in parliament. it will not affect current smokers, right? so we talked much in any way this bill is looking to the future to get the next generation, the freedom to live longer. sophia, more productive line. welcome to the day and governments around the world. according for restraints as israel, why is its response to last weekend's attacks by iraq european union, foreign minister as a holding case to be scheduled talks to discuss the volatile situation in the middle east? is ralph allies are trying to strike a balance between standing in solidarity but of israel and coming further, financing in the region of air defense has destroyed these and reigning drones over

israel last weekend. no western powers are watching closely as tel aviv moles. h next move to iran, says the attacks were self defense after a suspected is really strike on its embassy in damascus. but countries ranging from time jo to the united states, germany have condemned the wrong that had honors of the dream. they range and redeem launched an unprecedented attack against israel this weekend and has let the region to the edge of the abyss on your johnstone's isolated didn't get on is, is, and yes, israel is asking its allies to target around with more sanctions adding to those the us has long had in place. i think your opinions, ross of travel bonds and embargoes over allegations of rights abuses in iran, nuclear proliferation terrorist activities arming russia and aging, and a backing the syrian government. some experts say to those will affect the already

sanction snow against around uh, including on drones for example, the building of drones. well, that's from the, as in stopped iranians to, you know, produce hundreds of them. i cannot sufficiently stress how, how um we owned them nice age of big jo, strategic changes. many, no fear is really retaliation could spark on even wider regional conflict. prompting western leaders to off tel aviv to exercise restraint. us as warrant 8 won't take part in the military country offensive on the you is calling for com. v . want to continue our work to de escalate. this is something because we said very clearly, not only on the estimate of what happened last week, but or the before the regional escalation, real benefits, no one. and this is one of the main objectives of our efforts to, to make sure that there is no further escalation. because this is bringing us to the brink of a new on forcing situation. in the middle is unforeseen and unpredictable. with

gauze of still under phone bars ment, hostages still caught in the crossfire of the humanitarian situation. still dire, lily, eyes insect, and these right of the intelligence community and retired from active duty in 2004 the rank of kind of just not managing director of the international institute for content. terrorism. welcome to a dw kennel, isaac. um, what do you think is royal's next move should be israel has to respond in some way. when i say respond, this is about the initiative. these really public. i don't in that sense, it's not about us and what we want, it's about what the perceptions are in the greater middle east. you are on the track just directly. we need to do some kind of not retaliation, but response initiated. so the wrong does not define the rules of the game. right?

so if this, if it's do thing, then likely to be another of the sort of graduated attacks. everyone is saying that when iran attacked israel, the daisy so much notice and sense over the slow drones of israel, a would be ready to blow them down. so that's all it was served on both sides. iran was saying to respond. and israel was saying to do something about that. no one person got got got injured, but no major damage was done. is that the sort of thing that you're expecting from israel? so it's kind of interesting that everybody takes for granted that the is really interesting. defense systems would stop the 99 percent that it did have to tell you was in his riley. i did not know that they would stop 99 percent. and i don't accept the premise that the wrong did this because they thought that they weren't going to injure anybody. they fired in over 300 project clouds. and in that sense,

this is about making a statement. i don't understand why everybody's sense that the wrong didn't think that they would do damage. they sent in heavy duty crews, marseilles, suicide, drones and reminds us all they supply. all of the weapon rich is fired daily into israel, from she's by law, from the whole team that doesn't come from nowhere. right? so i don't think that these rapid response is about just showing face. it's about a real attract the wrong to and it's about to terrance within the middle east. so do you that for expect israel responds to be escalate to me. i think that is real needs to be on the initiative. i think that iran should not to find the rules of how you act, not against israel, and not in the world. we're talking about a regime that is acknowledged as an enemy of for a tarion regime,

but exports not just terrorism ideology, ideas. the call, not just for the destruction of israel, they want to do much beyond that. and so it's not about the retaliation, per se. it's about iran not defining the rules, not for israel, not for the rest of the world. around the size that saturday night attack on each route, a waste is in keeping with its rights to self defense after israel is badly bombing, i'll be around the consulate in syria. can you see why they would say that? i think that the wrong is exceedingly good. a trying to frame the information warfare where they are a legitimate member of the international community and all asked all of the viewers right now is a country that calls openly common to you can show him also the supreme leader calls ultimately for the destruction of the state of israel, he didn't do that after the april 1st through attack. he does that every single

week in his weekly sermon, a country that exports capabilities, ideas, ideology, weapons, all of the different things that we're seeing in the middle east. this is not just something of self defense. you rhonda has been attacking israel and participating in the war against israel for years. not since april, 1st with the alleged israeli attack against there. um it raining and revolutionary guard the fighters who are inside syria. do you think uh benjamin netanyahu has lost control of this? will you when you consider the original, how may i strike the blind sided israel circles mister security in 6 months, one of the greatest matter? he positively still hasn't achieved its gold of destroying commerce and rescuing the hostages. and now iran is up enough to attack israel directly rather than through its process is missed and that's on yahoo and the right not to be this will . so you asked about minutes on your own. i'm asking you again about the promise in

that sense of what you said. i'm here inside israel right now, and that's turning the risk attack the how much did against a israel being about prime minister in a time? you know, i'm not a supporter from industry to tell y'all when he knows that and yes, he has sold himself as mister security for the colossal failure on october 7th is not only the term y'all's. and i wouldn't even go so far to say that the policy of any alternative government, when it comes to security, will not be very different from, from industry. and so now he has additional people was in the government. everybody likes to quote the extreme elements. but those are politicians making statements. they're not necessarily the ones who make the decisions in the security cabinet that her risk attack on october 7th is not just about these really failure. it's about the ideology of home us. it's because we eroni your sleep thoughts. that's

how much was on a different route. we me, i made that mistake, not just prime minister and it's on, you know, as an expert. i say that and because of that, i do think that we are trying as hard as we can to attack from us. and we're not destroying it in that sense because we're both trying to acknowledge and understand the loss of life that is happening within the gaza. strip because of the way that's from us built themselves. so there is no easy resolution. it wasn't about solving it taking $250.00 hostages. is what a tear army does. there is no easy way out of it. how most of you, the hostages, as collateral damage as bargaining chips, they don't see them as human at all. i for doing this. uh, mary ivan, from the international institute for counter terrace. thank you. the russia is intensifying. it's a tax on energy infrastructure across the ukraine. since late march miss on strikes

of less, some of the countries major power plants and ruins and the energy administer him. and how the shank co is asking all these trains to prepare for more power cuts and the coming weeks. electricians and engineers are risking their lives to repass some of the worst technical destruction and dw is young. and they've shown, said this report from the eastern, from light city of hockey, a small village and ukraine's the net screeching the battlefield as only a stone's throw away. this is the workplace of the access left and his colleagues, the electricians. i called front of a power line, i hit along the front line. the men have long ago stopped being distracted by the sound of the tillery strikes during the repair work. yeah, and my family is against this job, but they don't like me coming here to him, but we have a very dedicated to work and something we have to do, but i don't want to do. but as soon to the front line village has been, the target of many russians attacks,

most houses and its primary school have been destroyed. never the less, more than 100 people still live here for them. the technicians curos at the state 0 last link to civilization without electricity were completely cut off and there's no water has no gas to nothing works in the upcoming results as to the voltage further away from the metal fields and the city outside. cuz electrically retail, we're also feels more and more like a frontline job ever since russia intensified its effects from ukraine's energy and transfer. this substation has recently been fits and constants airlines to make any attempts to fix the equipment all over the 1st time today, warning announcements, ask all staff members to take shows immediately at a safe location. we get a quick moment to speak to the engineer in charge of life and life. it's all very,

very difficult. and every time we start to repair something, there's an alarm this and we come back. and so, so we have to start all over again. large power plants are particularly attractive targets for russian to tax the devastation at this thermal electric plant. yeah, 5 kits is enormous. 6 russian crews and decides to strike the engine room and force the entire facility to shut down. but you can just look around and you can see the extent of the damage, or we're talking about kilometers of pipelines, kilometers of cables that are destroyed like a menu, say, this is not going to take months. you can see. this is going to take years to fix it, loading of silver to low blood, before its destruction. the plants supplied hundreds of thousands of people with electricity. the engineer tells us it's lost, will be almost impossible to compensate. one small hope the west might be able to provide parts and the equipment for the plants reconstruction with

the smoking room was we're really doing all that is humanly possible. here we must realize, but if we receive some form of support, especially technical support from other countries, we will be very grateful that you mean by the rest are continuous its daily attacks on the pallet and the people of tar tiffany. many other ukrainian cities almost certainly have many more dark nights. a heads that were made about dora is a senior fellow with the center for strategic and international studies in washington. i asked her about some things she wrote last year, but new craig now has a chance to break away from 350 years of russian domination and shouldn't just rebuild what was that? so, um, no, russia, this is, you know, this is not just the domination from soviet times, but it goes back, i would say to peter as

a grade. and so russia has always tried to dominate its neighbors. and a has constructed an economy and infrastructure and obviously institutions that support uh, you know, the russian empire. so our, our message and our policy advice is to reconstruct youth crane to european standards to fit you know, the value is that obviously ukraine wants us to be free independent, have a market economy. and so this is a chance for ukraine to really break away from, from that, you know, russian past and the new generation, obviously new ukrainians want this and you know, since 1991 and yes ukraine had independence and freedom um,

but there's always this whole always been this, you know, russia trying to dominate and ukraine. so it really is. it is a very big opportunity for the ukrainian people from still baths. i asked my children called you back because e, so heart disease, stroke dementia, you know, the age many, kansas, the range of different diseases. the smoking causes is quite extraordinary. funds, people's thoughts making, they become a dictate the whole points of the smoking from the point of view. the industry is people's choices taken away because they find it incredibly difficult to stop. this was britain's chief medical officer speaking. i was in favor of the government plans to make, but i smoke free country and the landmarks smoking band cleared its 1st on tuesday evening. members of parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of it built that would

raise the legal age for buying cigarettes every year. ultimately, meaning that anyone born after 2009 would never be allowed to buy cigarettes. legally. the bill still has to clear another reading. the problem in parliament set up a house. well surprising the legislation fishbock strong opinions on both sides apart . yeah. not to make it as smoke free, but finding something has never been a solution to anything. pricing is such a part of the young person's coach. some people culture it same then i think everybody's faith nowadays. smoking is bad and we're better off without it. let's get moved from correspondent to charlotte chelton pill in london. welcome, charlotte. let's start with the critics of this proposed the band. what would that arguments as the 1st 6? is it 10000? as i say we're in the minority thing. i'm the most citrus ahead of this place

today and they killed some of them to big names and was listed as the fund that is the for still let's say she's not looking at the funding the oh, no, i'm only working on those on the more serious side they say that sounds like they have some concern for the spring about the band going for one. and he said he wants to have a freeman choice to make their own decision, even decisions on what kind of idea logical was positioned to elements influencing this one and

the member of parliament today that that might be signing smoking. if you make the reason yet, you'll save both estimates, which result creates the black outline as part of the outline 1st place by the government's case which of course, one of the day a this is evil, the government, there's many in favor of this legislation was the very last uh, health motive behind it. and they went to the fact that smoking tens of thousands in every year, one member of the celebration is that says this next stage.

so the money interest, emily, those in favor of business today. terry boy, 2 separate infringement banks, nursing and being addicted types of freedoms, freedoms choose to want to say that there's no need to see in 6 chances. so if this goes ahead and i understand that it still has to go after the next stage. i'm walker through what, what, how this would actually work in the, the day today as well, should it come into the one that will make you pay one of the strictest when it comes to smoking. ready in say that this is

a sexy phasing out get out $11.00 in it's currently sold. tobacco products is 18. what we'll do the phone on to january 1st 2009. 2 dates and see if it will mean eagle h for d e l o it's smith generation. so that makes sense to you. they want to make it uh people and safest way to know that such a range of flavors. they have

u k. uh, not the 1st country to try and band smoking a new zealand did and then changed its mind after the last election code the same hutton, in britain like there is still some way this like, it is why he's been looking for the is expected to be in the election year and maybe talk to you, which is the thing in the polls is supporting this legislation by today in the, on the airwaves as well. so they go to this when charlotte so i know i'm worried about is that some of those no votes that came from within the governing conservative policy. what does that tell us about the prime minister issue?

so next leadership one thing that how well that means is that one wants to voice, express their own opinions in this very, very strongly how have that been a huge support from them all the time. and it says i wouldn't have been a good fit for him. as i say more and that she wants to have them. but at this point, the boss for the kids should see the new the next election across charlotte data. very charlotte, chelsea impel a lot. well here in germany, meanwhile, uh what categories was legalized at this month's. you can now smoke weed in public,

but anyone hoping for life to be she is october fast. is info a bit of a down to it's okay to get drunk. was the biggest the big festival, but the various conservative government says it's not ok to get high value will be binding smoking cannabis and it's be a governance box on the public festivals. they'll far as the site. they won't be checking visitors to october. second test to see if they carry any cash to finally re towards the $224.00 summer games. some olympic games has been made. i'm events increase. it took place, of course in ancient olympia, the best place of games. the flame will stand light throughout the competition which will be held in front. during the preceding ceiling, pick flying, dance was performed, a torch will be counted through several countries. and $100.00 day jenny intended
