the, the, you're watching the to be and it was coming to live from burly b u. s. and the u plan at new sanctions on iran. israel urges its allies to step on international pressure on tech run in response to last weekends attacks. but western nations are weary of any moves that could spark an even wider conflict. also coming up on our show, germany's chancellor calls on china's children pain to help bring rushes war and ukraine to an end. all actual says beijing's close ties to mall scouts could play a major role in securing peace. and the huge fire races that through copenhagen's historic, old stock exchange destroying its iconic spire,

threatening one of denmark for the most valuable, our collections the enquire, richardson, thank you. so much for joining us. the united states as, as it is preparing new sanctions on iran after last weekend's missile and drone attacks on israel. the european union has signaled it is also working on expanding sanctions blocks. foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, has said that the proposed sanctions would also target iran supplies of weapons to its proxies in the middle east. let's have a listen. we would increase our outreach with the key partners in duration. and so member stage propose that option of and expend did restrictive measures. again g dot to adopting an expansion. that is due to measures gains dot

i will send to their stand election surveys their requests to start the necessary work related to the sanctions. i've got the view from israel here from dw corresponded in east half in jerusalem on in the us as warranty will impose new sanctions on iran and the you expected to follow suit here. how are these measures being seen in israel? what is real has welcomed of these new announcements of sanctions against the wrong israel. cats that's israel's foreign minister praised the announcement from the youth saying that it was an unprecedented achievement in his real you relation. so a lot of praise coming from is real. they want to see this happen. they want to see i united coalition of partners facing off against the threat from iran, but within israel. these sanctions are also seen as an attempt to dissuade israel from responding militarily to ron's attack. over the weekend

a directly on israel. and the war cabinet seems clear. the word cabinet in israel seems to be clearly decided that there is going to be some kind of military response. do we know more about that? that really is the big question of the our, isn't it how israel will react it to a runs retaliatory strikes? spell officials who are familiar with the talks going on in the war cabinet has said that there are several options on the table right now. it could be an aggressive strike on a rainy and targets in a 3rd country. this could also be a largely symbolic strike within iran itself, although this would likely need the coordination of the us and the us instead of won't be involved in any retaliatory strikes by israel. it could also be a cyber attack, a massive cyber attack, which could be incredibly effective, but it might not have the symbolic, this waste of effect, that is real ones. uh, this could also be smaller scale um operations with any ron,

like an a targeted assassination or something like this, which israel has been carrying out over the past 3 years. but it's really usually doesn't take responsibility for attacks like this. and of course, this country wants to show some kind of public reaction to the strikes any run over the weekend in order to show the people living here that they are not going to accept a direct attack on is really soil without responding to it. there is the last option of course, which is to do nothing buys and administration as it actually suggested that you also have countries like china and russia saying that the best way to avoid the future attack by iran is to not provoke its like with the mass of attack on the embassy compound belong to iran in syria on april 1st, which iran says provoked the stripe over the weekend. and what about germany's view here for administer and elaina bare bach is in israel today. what message do you

think she will be trying to bring to the as rarely leadership spell? the german floor ministry said that she wants to prevent a conflagration in the region. she's here to, to urge restraint, but also show support from germany at this time when israel has faced an unprecedented attack directly on the soil bi, you're on. so balancing between those 2 poles. what's interesting is she also said the stated purpose of revisit is to bring gaza back into the focus. she said that she's worried that with the escalation between israel and iran, that the catastrophic humanitarian situation and gaza were hundreds of thousands of civilians are on the brink of starvation, has been pushed into the background of the conversation now is really a defense forces has to be struck, 40 targets of the past 24 hours and within gaza there has been announcements that several civilians have been killed. so the warren gauze is still going on and on. the bareback wants to talk to him is really counter parts about that man. thank you

. very much for bringing up to speed that his date of use on the an ss in jerusalem . or now as israel considers its response to iran's attack and continues to fight its war against from us and gaza. there are fears over whether where these regional tensions could head it is a complex part of the world with many rivals, both political and religious vying for influence. israel's neighbor, jordan, and regional heavy weight saudi arabia both appeared to help defend is route from iran. missiles to the surprise of many. both countries are involved in a complicated balancing act, making it difficult to predict their future actions. when the drones and missiles from a run came flying towards israel, many of them passed through jordan's space. not only did the arab kingdom help shoot them down, it also opened its space to his riley and us planes seeking to intercept the amount

insist that was strictly to protect its own citizens. but jordans, king of della has to balance competing interests. jordan is pro weston and likes to keep in step with his allies, especially the united states, plus jordan. she has a loan boat with these rail and once peaceful relations. a mine often works behind the scenes with these riley authorities. but these rails bore in garza has outweigh each many jordanians, one 5th of the population is of palestinian descent, including king of done as a wife. the government has vociferously condemned to the rule, but the kingdoms perceive defense of israel in the face of it rainy and miss silas has an good many children's powerful neighbors. saudi arabia also faces a difficult balancing act. the sunni kingdom views she, i'd run as its biggest regional rival,

but last year it re established relations with to run both the saudis and the united arab emirates have sought to improve ties with iran and israel. my gosh, who was prior to isabel's intervention in gauze it saudi crown. prince mohammed been so mind, looks boys to sign a deal with the us, where the kingdom might have recognized israel in return for security guarantees from washington. but off to 6 months of war and gaza on tens of thousands of palestinians dead dots of the table. for now, still are the officials say both the saudis, on the amorous shed intelligence with the americans warning that iran was planning an attack on these rail. that probably allowed for a most successful defensive response by israel on this ice. the challenge for our leaders is to keep the us on side well, not endangering the delicate relationship with the run or being seen by their own

people, a supporting israel at the expense of public opinions in gaza. and for some analysis, i'd like to welcome a guido steinberg with the german institute for international and security affairs . we've just heard there in our reports, this challenge for aero countries to stay on the side of the west. even when that means supporting israel. how much do you think that this latest iranian attack has complicated the balancing act? i don't think that the slightest tag is complicated, the balancing act simply because the nation's neighboring because ro i have a lot more problems with the is with these were highly attacks and gaza with these are any war in gaza, games time. us then with the end is a, is before with military action against iraq. and they all do agree with israel that

iran is the greatest threat to region of security. and that is part of or, and that is part of the reason why jordan and saudi arabia and possibly the united arab emirates, cooperated with israel and the united states impending off. there's a, there's a iranian attack last week, or do we know the extent to which they were involved in finding off this latest iranian attack? but they did play a mazda minor road. uh, but it was important, especially when we have seen that to jordan. uh, even even shut down some of these uh, some of the drones flying all virtual damian territory. the road of saudi arabia budget has been, uh, might have been even more important because saudi arabia opened up the, its asked base to american, and possibly even uh, even is there any fighter jets them since 2022. some of these

nations do have an agreement with is ro and the united states, although a part of the official about audi friends. and that's uh and the reason is very simple. saudi arabia the way, the jordan, and then you egypt to some extent, they see this growing springs off of the wrong and missed the program to. so even with that fear, very much front and presence. when you look at a figure like say jordan's king abdullah, you've mentioned also the strong public support within jordan and these countries for the place of the palestinians concerns about what is happening and gaza. when you look at jordan, how does he go about maintaining these ties? with israel and the west, well also putting at ease the minds of the public about what's happening and gaza. you know, there is a major difference between the between jordan and countries like saudi arabia or

the way the although the populations and all these countries are adam into the, on the side of the palestinians on policy, on the side of from us as well. so the right, yeah, and the way e r stable countries in total control of the situation in the country. jordan always has to see a major mobilization of the palestinian population in, in the kingdom. but i think that might be one reason why the citroen situation in jordan has improved a little bit after the after the run, you know, tax simply because of fighting, fighting against the wrong or at least positioning the kingdom against the wrong. as more support in the care in the country, then citing with the, with israel, although only implicitly in its fight against from us. so let's turn to the big

question about what an is really response might look like. what would a best case scenario be for the arrow countries or, or a worst case in terms of what is rel, decides to do a i think the bed, the bed, some arab countries, especially saudi arabia, with a limited iranian response. they all want the wrong to be rained and if not by the united states, then a by israel, they all to iran a lot more than and then israel, at the same time, they are very much worried about the regional escalation. saudi arabia has once been under attack, off of the ronnie and drones in 2019. and the then changed it, st. regional policies totally saudi arabia has virtually tried to see a non aligned force in, in, in the last 2 years. for the time being,

they would like to, they would like the responds to be of the kind that avoid of a large a region of war. but in the long run, they are all extremely onto, onto the entire rodney and they are aware that ron has to break the rain didn't is especially in it's a and then some additions to become a new paul. well, thank you so much for joining us with your analysis today. that is akito at steinberg from the german institute for international and security affairs. we very much appreciate your time. thank you. we can bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines. as well as military has released footage, it says show strikes that killed 3 members of the husband of militant group and 11 on israel's as one of the dad was a commander involved in planning rocket and anti tank missile attacks on its territory as well. and has will have regularly traded fires since the beginning of

the war and gaza to man mars military government says former leader armstrong, sushi has been moved from prison to house arrest surgery with jail by the military of $32021.00 crew on charges, including treason which supporters and analysis and independent analysts rather say were fabricated to discredit her to i. brush protests have taken place in georgia as capital simply see over a controversial bill. the critics say aims to silence political opponents. thousands of people turned out to oppose the legislation. protesters said the bill is similar to laws in russia and put some georgia at odds with its impression of joining the you and police in brussels have shut down a gathering of a right wing politicians, citing concerns about public order among the speakers at the annual national conservative conference was a british politician and rex it a campaign or nigel for raj. a far right french politician or example and hungry as

prime minister victor oregon were also due to speak of the events german chancellor all off. charles has wrapped up a 3 day visit to china, where he met at length of the chinese president egypt ping on tuesday. russia's war on ukraine was high on the agenda, but so too were germany and the used trade ties of china. it was the culmination of a high stakes trip to china. chancellor shells held on usually long discussions in beijing with chinese president changing pin a 3 hour amazing that included a private tea ceremony and a meal. one of the chancellor's goals to convince china to put pressure on russia's, vladimir persian, she not as a pen and a member of the un security council. china has a heights and responsibility for peace in the world and try and his word has weights in russia. that's why as president,

she to accept its influence on russia. so putin finally stops his insane military campaign, drops his troops and ends this horrible. what he has for now is she's promised to work on further efforts to end the conflict, including a possible peace conference. and commitment to strong chinese german relations. yeah, i mean, i was on china. yeah. i'm trying to get a job to show the finally, our 2 countries hung back or 5 you and developed by lateral relations law, alarm a long term and strategic perspective. and kind of what back she thinks and worked together term a motion to delay and certain things into the world, but should be an issue. another challenge for shows striking a balance between germany significant economic interests in china and the growing a you concerns over what are perceived as on fed chinese subsidies on green exports such as electric cause. this is, yeah,

it's very clear we need to talk about the issue of production. we need to talk about competition on subsidies. it's a key issue that also because the issue of subsidies raises questions all over the world to so many countries do the same, especially when it comes to renewable energy use, an advanced electron mobility technologies. so it's important that we establish processes that ensure that everyone doesn't simply go ahead and on that right. so for instance, you know, cuz i know i've been the best buy to and because the jury appears to be out so far on the success of this trip. now, germany's partners in the a you, in the us will be watching closely to say, wash effect if any, this visit will have on trade relations or on rushes will in ukraine. and just back from china where she was travelling with the german chancellor, we have to have these chief political editor, mckayla customer. welcome back mckayla to our studio in berlin. i want to pick up

on a question that was raised at the end of that report. there, whether schultz has visit will in fact have any effect on russia's war and ukraine . well, let's put this that this way and you, prince, present folding is zalinski, science of the german chancellor for his efforts that he did convey the message to the chinese that that was carries weight in russia. and she went to china with one big ask, which is for time to, to stop sending pots to process single dual use goods. that's also can be used to build weapons, chips used in drones. and that's something germany, europe is very much concerned about. and whether that will really change anything is a different question. the next big test will be with the time that actually takes part in the time peace conference. this somebody in switzerland. now it's, and by no means clear that china will get involved china and really previously is also said once the russians to be sitting at the table as well. it doesn't look like that's going to be the case. but at the very least,

what they discussed is the potential wedding of potential outcomes of this very conference. so it's an effort to bring the chinese on board, and it always takes a bit longer to see whether something actually has changed. whether he managed to actually make the point that it's also in china is interest of for that war to and china says that once that will to end. but those are the was requested now is where we see some action on that. at the very least, he did hear what he didn't hear, but there was a statement from presidency afterwards, which once again condemned the use of nuclear weapons. also pushing back on the threats of any kind of nuclear use. and that is a key of message to that is to as letting me put you in at this moment in time. so i suppose whether words translate into actions. we'll see in the weeks ahead of this a war, the war. and you quite, obviously very much high on the agenda, but what about the conflict in the middle east? did we hear from she and schultz on this issue? we did, and we did in see them make

a very different focus though. and there were clear words from the germans. hans was standing next to presidency and also referring to iran and presence. she avoids that all together, focusing more again in the statement afterwards and on. pushing for an implementation of the un security council resolution quoting for an end to the fighting in gaza. you didn't hear the chinese mention iran instead. and we did hear see asking for countries with influence and that must be the name of the d 7. and who also had a conference on this while we were in china and to basically a put some pressure use the influence for israel not to let this get out of hand and become a wider conflict. so we see china itself interpreting its responsibility in the region as kind of let the big powers that have influence sources. but the parts of the truth as well is that china does have some swipe sticks here amongst our

countries. and we've seen that in the past. i think it's also important to mention here that this was the 1st meeting that we saw between schultz and she, since germany introduced its new strategy to, to de risk from china last year. do you think that that has changed relations between the 2? it has because china is seen the risk being, which means becoming more independent from china as something of a threat. it also tails in with the european strategy and the much more aggressive americans strategy, which will contain the world, the risking of the invitation. really masses and hit what i felt took with it to great lengths to explain to the chinese that the german interpretation means that the risking means being less dependent. yes or, but at the same time, increasing trades as he turned back that up at this moment in time with german companies having invested in the past year, some 11900000000 years. that's

a new record high. so trade is not decreasing. at the same time, both sides of a very wary of each other. the chinese want more access to europe and markets, particularly their e cause. and there's currently still an investigation at the european level where the, the subsidies are so high that you could see some taxes slapped onto that. and that could mean assisting towards a trade confrontation. nobody wants that both sides to the depend on each other. well, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is data. these chief political editor, we have a cosigner and we have time now to bring you up to speed with some other stories taking place elsewhere in the world. $420000.00 registered voters are going to the polls in the solomon islands, 1st general election since the government switched in diplomatic allegiances from ty, want it to be shame. the solomon's closer relationship with china and a trouble, the domestic economy are the main issues weighing on voters minds as they cast
