[000:00:00;00] the business dw news line from balance reports of explosions in the sky over iran, rainy and media. se addison systems kicked in at a nuclear facility near the city of is for hawk. isabel said has previously said it would retaliate for your bronze drone and miss all the tax last weekend as well. us secretary of state and the blinking says, but the 2nd group of nations is more united then every month unfulfilled, around 2 accounts. most of the programs,

indian prime is sitting around remoting seats of the time as voting opens in the world's biggest index, the . okay, how those? welcome to the program you're on. state media have reported loud explosions in the sky near the central city of is fall. tate around says air defense systems will activated at a nearby military base and at a nuclear facility shooting down a number of drones. meanwhile, us media reporting israel fired at least one was um, in retaliation for an extensive uranian rocket and drone attack. last weekend. slash is mike the sky above the iran in what alleged to be and it's really attack

iran state media reported loud sounds. bean hood near the city of east for hum of the area or is home 2 important defense facilities and a large nuclear seem to be attacked prompted flight divisions across around 2 to 5 as me by daybreak. the incident was being down played was have her use as a state media reporting, the city was come and emphasizing that nothing was out of the ordinary doors. so the, there were some loud sounds that were heard in the east stuff. the city of us 400, this was related to the air defense system as though we told you, and our viewers before triggered by the presence of a 3 small drones that were present in that area. other than that, nothing has happened. everything is back to normal use the officials have supposedly told media that israel is behind the incident. it's will cabinets has

been debasing its response to a large scale, a rainy and messiah tac last week. and iran said it had retaliated to a presumed is riley strike on the rumsey embassy and syria, which killed 13 people. israel hasn't acknowledged the, it's the honda tech, but it's national security minister indicated he thought it didn't go far enough. posting the wood feeble on social media and ma'am condemned the suspected strike. well, egypt road for strange from o policies. the you and other regional leaders are also cooling for come. we have to do all everything possible that all sides. we straightened from the escalation in that region. we have seen the mass, if attacked with drones at massage round about 300 right here on, on as well, if it is absolutely necessary that the region stays stable and that all sides refrain from further action. moving,

i believe israel and iran to de escalate and hopes of keeping this latest middle east violence from spiraling out of control. so i'll see the service of them correspondent with it as a whether there has been any confirmation yet that is out. what's behind this a time? now we've had no official confirmation. we have reached out to these ready miller tre. they haven't confirmed to also to anybody whether or not they were indeed the perpetrators of yesterday's retail attribute or this morning. i should say's retaliatory attack, that is something i wanted to preface going into this and that pretty much everything that we know and the picture that is becoming clear as this day progresses. we know from unnamed sources, what i can tell you is that some us officials have confirmed to that mainly us media that israel did carry out this strike that's been backed up by on 9. does radio officials the told the washington post it is well carried out this attack? that a was

a message to iran. we know that the defense system in that it is the one area in iran, was triggered and was and went off. and we've seen that video searchlight taking of what certainly looks like into sections, but that's pretty much what we know. so far as i mentioned is ralph still yet to come in and it's likely that that isn't going to change. it suddenly seems that israel, that if this is indeed an attack from israel, that not commenting is part of the strategy. they most often don't comment on these 2 types of military strategies. but particularly with this one, it appears, or at least the analysts, the same, could be part of the plan. the israel wanted to counter attack that they said that they had no choice about to counter attack, but they didn't want to perhaps humiliated. ronald forced them to not to retaliate . again, that is certainly the pressure that they were put on the, by the international community, particularly the west western allies, the us germany, the u. k,

a u a to really kind of try to de escalate this situation. and that appears to be the situation that we're looking at. uh, we've heard from a senior iranian official telling the reuters, these agency state iran has no immediate plan to retaliate. so for now, you know, certainly is hopefully in the region across the world, really that this is not looking, but it's going to escalate for the moment. this region remains very hot and nothing can be guaranteed here. and this will the tile area. ok, it's fun in iran is home 2 sites that are associated with a company's nuclear side. uh, would that make it a potential target to think it's very difficult to say suddenly probably uh, you know, we know that is the hon does have a large ebay. so we know that it has a major missile production complex, and as you've mentioned or is in that report several nuclear sites. now we have had confirmation that none of the nucleus sites we hit or damage the atomic energy agency confirming what we were hearing from

a radiant state tv on that. it was more likely that it was that military base or a military base in the area that was the target. and that could suggest that it was a tit for tat attack because it was in fact a military base or an army and military base in israel. that was struck by one of the me cells that came in around attack metallic tree attack on saturday. so, you know, we could take take that from, from, from that. but it is a tit for tat attack, but certainly none of those nuclear facilities being damaged in this attack. they have important from jerusalem. thank you very much, rebecca. that's now bringing back not been totally blue. he's a security analyst at the foundation for defense of democracies in washington, and joins is from the now. israel is indeed behind this attack. would it be a robert restraint or a false black to measure? be with you, great to be back again. in essence, there may be a trend line here that is real,

it's connection because if what is reported is true is real, has use smaller, quad copied drones, which many religion was involved with this attack and yours on both in 2022 in a drone a storage facility and care mon, sean, western iran, as well as in 2023 january. if i'm not mistaken, near a missile production facility around the city of this behind. by that trend line alone, it would look like a likely foreign culture. it would be as real, but once you layer in the fact that even prior to the missile and drone, a barrage, israel sustained but largely intercepted on april $13.14. these really is have promised a striking iranian soil if it's really sort of this rug. so this is in my view, most certainly retaliation, but a contrast thing, retaliation, whereas the runny is launched. a volley of almost $300.00 projectiles, including land attackers themselves, ballistic missiles, and one way attacked rooms, causing very little damage. if indeed this is, these really isn't all signs may point to that despite the lack of official

confirmation from within jerusalem, there was a sharp contrast as to a limited scale, but have some more precise our effective military strikes. so is this attack then designed to not provoke any further reaction by to wrong? or indeed as much as i think this right might be aimed at resetting deterrence. given that this is more in line with previous methods of these really ron shadow or previous you could say rules of the game that were established through behaviors in the 4 plus decades of these really ron shadow work. this is also designed to tamp down incentives to escalate. you've already seen iranian state media hyping up the fact that it's 100 fields normal this morning despite the firing of the air defense air defense assets. early with the morning around 56 am to everyone at 56 am your on time if i'm not mistaken. so they have an incentive to slide down the escalation letter. while that may put an end, potentially in the short term,

the tit for tat directly between the ron and israel on their territories. i don't think at all, and there is for teaching an additional computation as well as the apartment complex day to day. my guess is really because after all, it is still supporting a multi front war against as well, which is now still finding some of the lowest low heavy fruits really runs their network in gaza. now, do you think we will see any further actions uh, by iran or have they sort of said what they wanted to say. these really may have been also seeking to test the new or change state a doctorate, and as an understated by islamic revolutionary guard corps commander jose. and selling me after their missile barrage against his real, where he said, if you're on already running interest is truck, be inside the country or outside. we reserve the right to respond over at lee and kinetically paraphrasing, but from iranian soil. so this could be aimed to test that doctrine because as you

know, there were also explosions reported but unconfirmed, any rock and in syria as well. those are the places where a ron has lots of she and militia assets as well as weapons storage facilities. so it could be designed to get a run to a test that doctrine as well, rather than just the escalated and say, face a mental of, of as a foundation for the defense of democracies. thank you very much. thank you. now the blas any iran happened? well, foreign ministers from the g 7 nations wrapped up talks on the italian island of capri, 7 leading industrial democracies, born to new sanctions against iran, for its drawing. and this of the attack on these rel, last weekend, stay cold on both sides, to avoid escalation of the cost of doing this summit. the german is foreign minister. i'm only not babel criticized iran for its attack on these route against

the backdrop of reports about the attacks on the 19th of april, the coolant on top chase to work to ensure that there is no further escalation as the g 7. that is exactly what we're doing these days instantly. this morning. the government's crisis unit met the guidance and leadership as different offers. the federal government continues to watch the situation on the ground. it's a fact that last weekend, iran in an unprecedented manner, escalate the situation and tried to take to the brink of k, it's a region afloat. her colleagues, so your secretary of state down to the blinking says measures will be taken against the wrong you saw as well. or you'll see soon in the g 7 statement a commitment to hold or on to account to account for it's the stabilizing activities. holding into account by

a degrading it's missile and drone capabilities. and yesterday the united states announced additional sanctions on the wrong to target and you are the programs still industry companies that are associated with the i already see the ministry of defense and its armed forces. logistics. the g 7 statement makes clear that g 7 countries will adopt additional sanctions or other measures in the days ahead. this is chief and so that's why the sir richard volta gave us his assessment of the g 7 statements. this being a pretty kind of cage and very cautious response from western leaders from the g 7, a echoing that today. so. so, you know, using the kind of language we just said from, i don't read a bad book in the clear that the wedding that she used was something along the lines of in lights, of reports of strikes on april 19th. so today's date we, we actual parties to what to prevent further escalation,

that's almost exactly lifted out of the g 7 form and it says communicate the with issue today. so that really kind of sticking to a script. i think that, um and i think it, it points to really 2 priorities that they have festival is that priority of trying to ensure that there is no further escalation. they really don't want this to spin out of a control. so they don't want to say anything that could help the situation further . and then the 2nd point, a priority is reassurance to israel that they've got, as well as back diplomatically that it's not up to as well, really to try to resolve this entirely, militarily that for instance, as we just said from tony blinking us like to state that most sanctions are on the way either already from us in the u. k, or potentially jot down the road from the of the g 7 member states. so trying to kind of reassure is well enough that israel doesn't feel that it's got it completely and it tends to respond to to it runs for a large attack which,

which happens so recently. so, so that i think the hope among the g 7, a foreign ministers among the western communities a whole. but of course, also in the very least and really everywhere is that, you know, escalation can be avoided, that this may even be the end of this particular exchange between as well and iran . and now let's take a look at the why the region a hold of the neighboring nations react to yes. so what i think i would be interested to look at jordan as a really interesting play. because jordan, as we saw when iran launch those $300.00 plus me, saw some trends towards israel. jordan was alongside the united states and other western countries was one of the countries that help as well to shoot those down. shooting down a is such a project, tell us that we're going over its territory so. so a really strong you know,

really concrete active support that from visual damian's to these re lease and the jordanian farm. and as to today was saying that is really iranian, it's retaliations must end and the, the into main vote on golf and must. and now so trying, i think like we just had from kristen held the trying to get a focus back to the situation in gaza. saying that is a priority for, for, for as well as arab neighbors. and then it wants this not to spiral into an escalation between iran and israel. and i think jordan's position here has particular weight not just towards the rod which will be seeing, okay, this is one of his rails neighbors. really helping it against us. but also it's was have weight towards israel for towards these really thinking what these really don't want to put a country that is just shown such solidarity with stuck it's neck out for you as well. um not to put it in in the more difficult situation by moving to an escalade tree response to that,

could it be one of the factors that contributed to and if this is the case that this really was the limit of these re responsive, we're going to see this pretty small response spite as well to that. so attack from the wrong jordan's position could be one of the factors that is considering it up the street fence and that's why that's a richard woke of that. thank you very much, richard. that's a look now at some of the world news and brief. the united states has vetoed a security council resolution full full united nation membership for palestinians. the usa, an independent palestinian state, should be established through negotiations between israel and the palestinian authority and not to the us is as well that a 100 students have been arrested at the pro palestinian protest complex in the old columbia university. they were demanding the university to distance itself from corporations. they explained profit from isabel's military action in gaza. a russian,

most of the talk on eastern ukraine has killed at least 8 people and ends with more than 25 others. one myself, it's a residential building. brand new official say critical infrastructure elsewhere was also damaged president for organizations to be honest with teachers and schools at defense systems from west and allies to retell, wash themselves from or russians. tactics have been described as increasingly effective recently inflicting steady losses on ukraine and allowing russian forces to seize or re gain positions in the east after major setbacks and the 1st year of the war, russian now seems to have the advantage. president vladimir putin believes his forces have turned the tide in his favor. they're slowly seizing more ukrainian territory and damaging its economy with long range strikes.

suggests that the strategy is always the same. i need to show you better results. then the commanders in the neighboring sectors of a friend looks better than the generals. you need to show that somehow your troops are moving forward as to now, if you don't show you these kinds of results or just say that you are holding your positions or pending or you creating attacks. not losing any type of a tree. that is a bad result and to you are likely to be replaced most of the class instead of course, but it has to come on doing it for more than a year. the front line in these 2 new crane has barely moved. the fiercest fighting is now taking place near the city of the russian forces are also trying to take tests if you are. that's new box mode, which was captured a year ago. to do so, they're using a simple tactic, an upsetting it's absolutely in humane, brutal, and so on. with this tactic works, it's electrical. it involves pushing through ukranian defenses. despite heavy

casualties, have suited means relentless attacks by small, medium sized groups. but without any serious maneuvers when you're without the support of the tank units or something cool, but i think they'll continue these attacks because no one sees any of the more effective way. but the split the water, whole disposable nissan, you visited, the russian armies facing equipment and weapons shortages. although the problem is not as serious as the ukraine inside. many of them in factories in russia have stepped up production in new ones being built in a good example is the factory in charge of stand which produces drones. there was absolutely nothing there before the war even joined the 1st year of the war. but since then, they've built these plans to produce a huge amounts of sha, had drones,

which attract grainy and cities almost every day. the, the, the, the with, despite the advantage and resources, the russian war machine is said to be struggling to replace its losses. and all this believe that big changes in the conflict around like late in the coming months . a settlement i've got nicholas, generally speaking, the russian strategy at the moment is to drug out. but fighting until november, with slow advances. the shape of west russia will not suppose it's offensive, that it will advance further. in november rush, it will see who becomes with next us presidents. and we'll then begin to plan what it does next. what that started. so it sort of shape last until then, russia is expected to continue. it's long range strikes and frontal assault with so

there are casualties in ukrainian cities and i'm on its own soldiers. the biggest election has begun in india web prime, and this doesn't render. emoji is seeking a full time in office. the 1st day of voting for the noah house in parliament, the looks of us closed voters, baffled with conditions to come to the palace. nearly a 1000000000 people eligible to take part over the next 6 weeks. both addressed the prime minister and the hindu nationalist, b j. p on costs to win another land slides. here's what some voters have to say. 10 didn't the texas have increased. it feels like we are overpaying for everything. even small things have become pricey. phone charges cuz there's nothing to do with the current government was providing everything. they are giving us a lot, especially to students. and that's why i think it's appropriate to vote for them.

if it's the what those you have given my work to moody because did find the wp focus on security that inspires the youth and society. yeah. oh, that's cool. so overall, correspondent and daily solve the out of how they can only concern staff and some strong supporters of motive. but how do you guys the mood in the country? a while the board is pretty divided. if you ask me, you know, despite consultants like unemployment amongst the youth and price price, which have really been the bullying issues over the last few months. hill, mr. moody's popularity remains at overtime. height in india. i think people really like he's a sort of style of ruling. i'm in the absence of a strong enough opposition too much. oh, he enjoys of an approval rating of over 80 percent amongst engines. i went to one of his political election. riley's in the hold of donald fisher case,

and people that told me that the light came because they see him as a champion of him to rights. and they also liked him for raising india stuck to on a global stage. he's riding high on the socks a sofa in the hosting the g 20 summit last september. and the fact that the western leaders had been going all direct carpet for him because india is needed as a counter to china in the region. so what about the health of india as democracy? then there are concerns on the yes they have been concerns about democratic backsliding under the prime minister ship also. and mr. moody or he's continued to be in power of for 10 years, and now he's seeking us. so to him, so really the whole model for the indian democracy which have been the press freedom for instance, the civil liberties and the rights of minorities. now that they're in the, under the spotlight for the wrong reasons. hill. since a prime minister movie came to power in 2014 india's a ranking in the woods press,

freedom index has gone down by 20 places from 140 back. then 261. no rice groups like amnesty and human rights which have expressed concerns about the arrest and track down on joining this and on activist some of them had been jaded, arrested in jail under the communion, and to tourism laws. i'm the minorities in this country of muslims and christians have expressed concerns that they have the, the attacks on them have risen under this government and the feel that they're going to be treated as a 2nd class citizen in this country. now give us an idea of what would a set term of mowdy look like? well, experts say that i thought i would see a more or sort of an more a. so to style of ruling under the time in a sort of under the prime minister ship of mr movie, some feel that he's taught to him could see the future of this country as

a he knew majority didn't state as opposed to a secular liberal democracy that it is known to be around the world. now in this place, in the democratic industries has fallen under the prime minister shape of mr. moody . but that's a charge that this government denies and they have allowed to come up with their own democratic index to prove or these charges to be wrong. but, but the exports still raised. those kind of feels that this is, this election could prove to be the back to, for the very sort of democratic india. thank you very much. the w solid yacht, us and then you're watching dw news is a reminder of all the top stories you're on stage, media and report loud explosions in the sky. any of the central city of east $400.00, say around says it has shop down drones near a military base and a nuclear facility. slater, foreign minister as some of the g 7 group of nations, have lot of new sanctions on here, ron,

for it's phone. and this all attacks on israel, us and germany calling on both sides to avoid an escalation multiple pumps. and that's it from the evidence. and so now i have an update to the top of the text is equally god office and 1000000000 from the see
