ali of it, her son name was a deputy commander of hezbollah as rocket and miss south unit and responsible for conducting attacks against israeli civilians. israel's defense minister us glance at the army was changing its approach and warned it would not hesitate to act further afield. i'm not familiar must say we're actually turning from defending to pursuing his beloved. this is by law. we will reach any place that has the law as operating in the home, the bill that goes for the root ball back in the tire see, don't know, but to you. is it across the area? and it's true also for far more places, such as the mass goods. it's all i bet and what's going on in homes and come out at court in any place we need to operate. we will act and the fog earlier strikes the northwestern syria targeted rock at the post belonging to the rainy and back to militant group near the northwestern city of a level according to the u. k. based monitoring group syrian observatory for human rights,

a large number of syrian soldiers were also among those killed. dozens of civilians were also injured across the border residents and the northern is really town of slow me. cleaned up debris around their houses after the area was hit by multiple rockets on thursday. since and most is tara town on october 7th, israel and his will have been trading fire across live in on southern border. as hezbollah shows its support for him us. both groups are considered terrorist organizations by multiple countries who are more deal enjoyed by dw the baby studio, cheaper home in tray to well, how many good to see you? let's talk about the claims of this hezbollah commander being killed. if it's true, is this a game changer between has the law and is real as well as the report mentioned, these right armies said that the target was a deputy commander office plus the rocket unit has block confirmed the best of the

flight to but did not provide further information on his post orders possibilities . now if we look further into the weight of his beloved blonde, the fly to it does not give an impression that he was among the top leadership to say as well as feud come and we saw a little remains the highest rank and personality killed by it's right on january, 8th, the attention to the last several months, of course has been on homeless now tonight we're talking again about has pulled up . can you maybe give it assessments here about the threat of this conflict? male escalating? so it was, this has been the question on what is next on on this front. this is the biggest question since the class has started because belinda is by the army on august

8th. this question remains really and so at the end of this front has been witnessing a body of a piece of attention if, if we could say so sometimes it's really the goal was high and seems to be on the edge of a blow up. but then again, it cools down and seems to be boxed with the acknowledged rules of engagement between the both parties. but there's no doubt that a miscalculation could that slip into a large cable or no, we've, we've been hearing is really officials warning from this a send out you. why has the law, in fact, is still saying that it does, it does not wants to the drug live on and the whole region into a large cade war and that its actions on this front is only in support of the gods . but it's also worth mentioning that the western powers, specifically the americans and europeans, are exercising the putting so much pressure on living on in this way. and to avoid

the war and drive the try to find a diplomatic solution. in a, could you give us the temperature there inside living 9? is there public support at all for an escalation of this conflict? this is definitely the fee of the end of and on from escalating the situation on, on the board has no one wants war. a little bit on his, in the deepest economic crisis and a people once at this level to avoid a ward that could really devastate their lives. more and more not in the past 3 days. i've been witnessing the highest tension on this order since at least since the start of the month of ramadan. and the last 48 hours, at least 16 people were killed in the been including 10 1st 8 medics. and that is unprecedented number of casualties. now, how much of a, a tension this front would witness in the coming days?

we still don't know, it might go back to the acknowledge rules of engagement or just like slip into the largest k ward as the, the, the conversation or as needed. like is what he a or me is keen on the a like further going into the operation and roughly yeah, the volatility, it continues that is for short use. they were your chief mohammed traitor and we appreciate your reporting tonight. thank you. well, israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has approved a, are new talks on a ceasefire in gauze and have the goal. she agents also covering the release of the remaining hostages, held by whom us are said to take place in guitar. in egypt. israel is coming under rolling international pressure to allow more aid into gaza in line with a ruling by the international court of justice. german and french crews, among others, are relieving food shortages with air drops. but as dw tonya kramer reports,

the process is difficult. and it does not deliver in the to 6 cargo planes, wait on the tongues at this base near a mountain jordan. inside this hercules, the french german crew runs through a final briefing before take off. they have recently joined an international emission and dropping food and supplies into gaza, where people are on the brink of stuff ation. edison child, the key thing about the flight is that the 1st attempt to delivering the load must be successful. the scheduling is very tight between all of the participating nations, so we only get one go with this. it will keep everything is double and triple checked. this slide is caring 5 tons of 8. so what do we have here is mainly, so of course everybody involved know is this is not enough and it's certainly not

the fault. and the most efficient way of getting the delivery by line. so much cost of saying is better than nothing. at this age, age groups want israel to open additional lens routes until they do these ad drops, of providing a lifeline for a few come into effect the. it's knowing that we're doing something that's business . the next thing we can do at the moment stuff. i think that's helping even the pony a bit of cold. i don't know the political solutions can be found, but there is a ceasefire of death to the board. has already been to the age and can come in between that and long term solutions which fit as can be found off the market. that inspection, here's the problem in the center. then such air drops have been criticized because they don't organize distribution of the 8 on the ground. in the k is the strongest health themselves 1st and many are left empty handed.

and there is a safety issue to come for the platoon. we have here the pallets with the packages in bags or sec. and on top there are a power shirts here. somebody, bosher, to know each of them has a several power shoots according to the weight of the package, the excessive box they will open once they leave the airplane to slow down the impact that okay. and then the, the power suits phase to open for the age lands in the sea. people have been killed, injured, and some drowned trying to get packets from the volta. recent drops were made along causes coastline. it's time to take off the fly time from amman to news and gaza. it's only about 30 minutes.

seeing that the stock says it's of course started because actually city without wise you out for you that out as horn jed this into garza since october 70 some to tara tax buy of us. it's actually shopping to see that it's structured then it's time to do this kind of the, in the absence of the opening of moorland crossings and deceased by a beach could bring a respite to the people of gauze to disrupt should help at least some people that was telling you, clean, were reporting there. i spoke with argument by random, but the norwegian refugee council, i asked him whether he expects

a distribution to improve. now that the you is top court has ordered is real. to ensure more a gets into goes, i mean, we, we, we've heard a lot, i mean there's, there's a lot of soap that we have heard in, in recent months. i mean, the one example is, you know, is right, allowing on voice to, uh, you know, uh, costs into goals that only, you know, trusted to meet. it's meant to cause only for them to be turned back. once they, they made an incidental. and the un itself says that, you know, over the past week, almost half of the companies have formed boys, april and boys have been to, in fact, so we hope that this, you know, announcement will change something on the grounds. obviously, we don't have time. i mean, to learn all dying already, you know, you have to, which you've seen in your report the length. so you have to go to just get, you know, a package of 222 hungry people. i mean, let me just on the,

let me just let me just let me just bring in there and then yeah, bring it in. we've been hearing from israel now for weeks saying that aid agencies need to do more to ensure that food and supplies are distributed. this is real, have a port as well. i mean, i mean, 1st of all, that kind of happen without a problem getting in the 1st place, right. and that is, you know, the i that is being blocked the crossing only a few miles away. by the way, uh, hundreds of trucks are waiting in line. they're not allowed to cross. we have heard, you know, about the long inspection process, the long vetting process, and we're talking about as well. you and agencies sacrificing, you know that their own lives in order to get a point and then lives on the line. we have seen many colleagues, hundreds of them on like any other conflict and company and recent history with so many 8 workers have been killed. so well, you know, there are

a lot the reality on the ground was very defensive to these statements. it's, it's, you know, it's kind of thing goes on to age is not being allowed is sufficient amounts. let me think of what, what, how much is saying, how much of course it's classified as a terrorist organization by the european union. in the united states. it says that people are risking their lives to recover air drop packages just to get their hands on food. what's your view? so our view is that a drops um, obviously uh, i mean to with this if that is coming through the seas or the after the land, it doesn't matter as long as it gets to people. however, again, that the logistics on the ground tell you that it said that the easiest way is through the last land drops. i mean, basically what that, i mean i've heard in your re, for about the long preparations, you have to go through the time consuming process, the accuracy of this, you have one go, you have one that sounds otherwise you,

you have to pay you. meanwhile, again, trucks are waiting process in rough or across the board, they're unable to make it to the people that need it. so i think even with, you know, with, with the great, you know, um, you know, coming together of these countries, i hope that these 6 states and big powers can come together. does that mean the shaking table with israel to agree on unconditional, unprecedented just for a to, to come into the guys on the lead. these people like me by room with the norwegian refugee council, joining us from amman, jordan to night. and we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you. all right, let's take a look else, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. and the reading and journalist is in the hospital after being stabbed outside of his home in london. free is erotic works for iran, international, a broadcaster marked as a terrorist organization by the uranium government. he's a regular critic of the regime in tehran. iran international is reporting that

roddy was attacked by a group of men. the workers have been clearing the wreckage of the francis scott key bridge and the us city of baltimore. one of the largest cranes in the country has been brought in to help remove the sections, blocking the river over a 1000 specialist will be deployed to clear the bridges ruins a process that is expected to take several months. but francis has presided over mass of the vatican to mark the christian holy day of good friday. the bit represents the day of jesus christ of fiction, followed on the 3rd day by easter sunday marching his resurrection. francis will deliver his annual eastern mass address from the balcony of saint peter's, the silver rush. it has launched a major attack on ukraine's energy infrastructure, ukraine's armed forces saying a barrage of $99.00 trolls and missiles hit targets nationwide on friday. and as

the board drags on, ukraine is attempting to strengthen fortifications on its borders. with russia and bella roost, w special corresponded or uber. he takes us to one of the cranes newly completed defensive lines. in the high tech 21st century war where drones will disguise, there's still room for this. a basic physical barrier. when russian troops invaded ukraine in 2022, the cost this area board in belarus to get to the capital. these newly built for dissertations are meant to make sure that does not happen again. fiscal advisor, but the but it bugs on it consists of tetra hydra. and this is pretty the so called dragons take store. so they are fixed with a metal cable so that they cannot be pushed punched by the vehicles trying to get through bulk of the old. this is held together with bumped while and special

n t personnel. while you're hung up like a commercial. in addition, the area around these structures is also in mind, so the vehicle's kind of drive on them and possibly as barriers resume. i left the shop with them at the end of the tank ditch is being dug behind them. and then there are the strongholds about defense. what are the words on to the barriers themselves? delay the approaching vehicles for not for the military at the strongholds, i destroyed them. these alternates the 3 more business of me. sure. so for it, if occasions like these are also being billed elsewhere, closer to the front lines and for security reasons were not given exact details as to the location and progress of that ma'am of the project. but this when we visited, took about 6 months to build and it was not without challenges. bully squad, let's see. during construction we had difficulties working with the local terrain.

and the was that was present onto the ground with the whole that we started work before winter. but at the end, as you know, these temperatures reach sub 0 or for the equipment. although it is i, nbc can simply stop and nothing starts at a strong sub 0 temperatures. those are really good. people also get cold and sometimes they cannot work. and then so we set up special heating points so that employees can warm up and work with the results of the rain. and we shouldn't forget about the terrain itself important. there was ground water in this area. it was some way you dig to me. it has and it will be dry. and some way you just start digging with a shovel and you can already see the water. for example, i need a trench depth of a 150 cent, amazes. i'm in such cases, we need to communicate with the military booth was and say, decide what to do in such a place that where it is physically impossible to get that data loopholes to move mostly over with if it's worth it. as ukraine shifts towards the more defensive

strategy, salters here are deploying basics like would iron concrete and barbed wire to you as president biden is promising to work every day to free. and american journalists accused of spying against russia. evan gross could, which was arrested. exactly one year ago in russia, he's been there ever since he's facing a potential 20 year jail term. so his employer has newspaper, the wall street journal, and the bites administration both say that the charges against him are baseless. this is evelyn gets coleridge. he's a reporter from the was through john the and he's a present invited me perkins, russia sofa. he's being held for a year to stuff a spill nice. he sees to and he's these papers lead to sleep joint forces in washington dc recently to mark that one year milestone and to increase pressure and politicians to get team free. or you can imagine that's been a really difficult year for a family. it's just

a lot of uncertainty and we just have to take it day by day discovery. simself is relying on displaying. she said he has a very strict routine. he's created this routine for himself so that he can just stay busy. and that really helps the post mental health gets go. beach had food mediocrity edition to work in russia, but he was arrested while on a story assignment in the of katerina on this accused of spite. it's the 1st time on the american journalist, us faith such charges in russia since the cold war gets cold beach on the wall street journal the night. and while the white house calls his detention unlawful, yet his team possibly to sleep in the legal solution. somebody thinks that the legal route is the path to get evan free. the conviction rate is 99 plus percent in russia. this is not a case where some amazing lawyers gonna swoop in and freedom in steep the hoping for political consequences as one element of this. the hope comes out of it. which

is that in a scenario like this, where reporters taken off the beat for just doing his job, wrongfully detain, there ought to be an immediate consequence from the government. yeah. where he comes from and a coalition of government to care about a free press with best press freedom here in the u. s. has been ruffled by the treatment of one of the own near hate to see one of your colleagues seems like that in a far off place and thrown in jail. it was impact with terrible i think since then . inspired by evans, courage and families, courage. the news room is rallied to make sure that this is, you know, can be resolved as soon as it possibly can. evan, difficulties finding these friends and colleagues here to try to increase political pressure to make his release not only possible, but also soon. no one wants to be here in a year's time for a 2nd. that new password. well, the pop diva beyond say,

had surprised fans. would they pivot into a new music genre? has the title of her new album, cowboy carter suggests the houston board beyond say, has gone country, and she's bringing millions of r and be fans with her 16, a pop idol turned country music star. beyond seas. new tracks are putting black country in the spotlight. and also highlighting the work of other artist the i mean i just for doubt listening. listen to it said to all my friends. and so yeah, just got got really excited for what this this moment means in the vast history of black country music. i definitely think this is a historical moment in bringing black countries to the main stream. beyond

seas. new venture is even shedding light on segregation and the country music industry. holly cheese, who runs the black music collective, has been exploring this history. once black artist started charting, they did not want white and black people and the same charts, so separated into hillbilly music and race records. hobbling music became the country music industry and race records became ardie. it's hope to be on seas. crossover from r n. b and pot to country will bring more ears to black country musicians. the like it's opening up country music as a whole to completely new demographic people who probably primarily listen say hip hop, r m b wrap. all the things like countries not even on their radar. they're not even thinking about it. this is one of caraway carters. 27 tracks. the album includes

collaborations with well known country music stars. the texas native said it's a beyond say album, not a country album or unique sound for any music lover. but so many people in germany is synonymous, not with country music, but miss techno, music, clubs, scene and all night raving, but should also mean reading every day in some parts of the country. the answer is no. in fact, on religious days, such as to day good friday, dancing is strictly forbidden, and some young people think it's time to change their good friday in munich. it's the most solemn day in the christian calendar. and that means tons fet, both the dancing band clubs closed and breaking the rules can result in a 10000 you're fine. i want to dance on public holidays. i'm not a practicing christian, so it makes no sense to me that we're not allowed to dance. and letting people

dance is just as important as tolerating the beliefs of others that the band has been around in some form since the 1st world war. and it still has plenty of support in germany, including from religious groups and the sense arise policies, thoughts to the clubs. it's a lost opportunity with click off was done this in eastern as a holiday, and there are lots and lots of tourists in the city. it's a problem that there are no clubs to go to the sample marsh site munich look, set for a quiet the stuff about if you want to put on your dancing shoes, dancing his home is still illegal in germany. and now a double dose of natural beauty. take a look. is this time lance video from iceland shows the aurora, or really is or the northern lights, but the most the green atmospheric phenomenon? this time it comes with golden jets of molten rock. luminous vision occurred near

the town of green to which is seen several volcanic eruptions. since this is a reminder of our top story. israel's defense minister going to step of operations against the militant group, hezbollah, syria, and 11 on these really military says it killed a senior commander from the group and an air strike 11 though you're watching the vineyards after a short break, i'll be back to taking through the days to grant will be right back the

this is not made of plastic. this bag is made some to pull, some is in bangladesh, it promises an economic and for the load. potential future without plastic. but processing cubes is expect says, complex and time consuming. so what's the low down on the golden natural? 5 in 45 minutes on d, w, the,

the, the, the, it is some of the coverage, the more people than in such a professional life crisis within pod for somebody that sort of the nation press the one to find out about baby story info, migraines, reliable news for migrant wherever they may be caused about why does that mean? because now i'm leaving the new host to

join us for an exciting explanation of everything in between moses video and audio production by d w. i hope video will tune in the or on a white horse where your cowboy, you had it, and holding old glory, that is how beyond say, galloped into the country music world. today. her new album, cowboy carter, includes icons which is willie nelson. and the only part, there's even a very modern day cover of the only part and fit jolene. but this album also includes the beatles and even some oper. so is it all country? now we partner this is all beyond say her rodeo. on the ready? yeah. i'm progressing berlin. this is the day the
