just a terrible match, all this stuff and the story that needed to be told from the hall of the affected area to be then to tell the people story. it was very important at the time the that is really what planes pounds, central goes with strikes as prime minister benjamin netanyahu indicates a longer was the binary pulse of this is andrea 0. live from the also coming up fighting on the streets of gauze or the military when you're upon us release is a video showing see a specialist with his very close beside the notes issued in israel as by rogers of

rockets specified from gaza towards television. and while the world rings in the new year with fi, with slicing of black box and skies in palestine, the celebrations i'm new to as a war on guys, a continuous people march to the center of ramallah demanding a ceasefire. the gaza has again being targeted by is ready will plains the guided by slaves. the jet struck the central part of the strip, the number of palestinians cube. and israel's war on gaza is nearing 22000 more than 56000 people have been wounded. the meanwhile, 5th street fighting has continued in central gaza between hamas spices and is where

the forces is ready. middle tree is expanding its ground operations southward. part of was, is in rough, rough uh, in the south, with more as the tax software as the gaza strip continues. that the of the last day of the 2023 were palestinians happening on the white military attacks by the use of our lead forces. we clearly understand that to the middle areas of the gaza strip, have been a widely attacked quite use with the forces where the onto the re shooting of these areas did not stop since the early hours of today's morning. and also the residents that have been informing us that the as rarely met it, treats strikes, did not stop where i think different, but exactly around a full palestinians being killed alongside with those and others who have been injured. and this is completely considered to be a wonderful the wide attacks that have been carried out to the. similarly, the situation if cutting is continues where the military attacks against these

areas had been intensified, were only inside you this more than 30 pounds city is being killed. since the 80 hours of today is morning and this is completely, i have been also a searching to during the last couple of days where these very forces are right now, making a very, please shift in the military operations from the north towards the middle and southern costs of the garza strip as moved through gates by these very many streets had been mobilized to take full control of a 100 a city. and now these ongoing military attacks increase the numbers of palestinians being killed to more than $21000.00 palestinians, including $9000.00 the child alongside with more than $6000.00 women since october, the sun is ready on me. so summers of this will be coming home from gauze or this week. it says it will withdrawal 5 come back brigades taking part in the ground, baffled so the troops can regain strength for future fights. the army says there is of a civil so been released to help revive israel's economy. pedigree,

look manual in the some of the reserve as soldiers will return to their families and their jobs this week. this will allow significant relief for the economy and will allow them to gather strength ahead of the coming activities in the next year . fema. it says all the waiting has 5 barrels of at least 20 rockets into central and southern israel is where it says 10 of the projectiles way into set to binds missile defense system. because some of the guys have claimed responsibility for the time. israel's national ambulance service says, no injuries have been reporting so far. laura holland has more now from occupied easters of what's happened around 4 hours ago and they were at least 20 real kits fled from gauze. the outer cassandra gates has taken responsibility for doing that out. now we know where they all because there's an app that you can use that shows

a map of where the sirens of sounding when the fire and sounds people tend to dock . so this is the mapped out so they tend to take shelter. so the number had fallen along the golf envelope in places like a stair out and just south of i stalled, but many of them talk just south of tennessee and the side was spread across a large area of so a customer. kate said that they've done this because of the ongoing genocide in garza to civilians. 5 for gates are being withdrawn at the moment. many i usually taken in and out on read appointments. but according to daniel, how gary, who's a spokes person for the is ready for says he said that they all withdrawing them in order to get ready for a much longer war. this rhetoric is being reiterated by benjamin netanyahu, the as ready, prime minister. he says that they are looking for a prolonged war, but they all recording these was office. i'm around 3 at $3600.00. i

resolved to know making it the largest military deployments for israel, f a. but it meant the many of them left their jobs and what that's doing is it's essentially denting certain sectors of the economy and such as agriculture, construction and tech. i know they also were like both in special workforce but a huge palestinian workforce. and according to, at the con is ready for costa, they are now considering taking away a palestinian employment from the sectors. and instead of sending an international from countries such as china ad, the actual line come all those. uh uh, so they want some tens of thousands of people in however, the palestinians from the occupied westbank before the war of to see and gaza on east jerusalem. rely very heavily on this employment in order to provide for that

families with the economy is really struggling in places like the west bank. so this is going to be at since a very tough year, and with a prolonged war as well going through 2024 more pain. the mystery to people in casa finkelstein is a political scientist. he says he sees no prospect to the amount of tyrene disaster in the gaza strip ending any time in the near future. there is a possibility, i think it's a likely possibility that there will be a reduction in the amount of murder that israel's committee that will be in the headlines. the main concern right now, the bind administration is the election in november and he recognizes that the most murderous images are doing kind of damage, not just internationally, but more importantly, domestically the age cohort. roughly $18.00 to $34.00 is

overwhelmingly opposed to the buyer support of israel's director. so i know it will undermine his electability. and so he's concerned that about n d. c is really genocide that it doesn't look so bad in the media. and so now there are reports that is real, will agree to biden's demand that certain aspects of the joe. so i will be reduced. i am not convinced however, that that's going to have a major impact on the essence of these fairly assault on the people of garza. so there's no real ground for holding there. and the media, those probably the intensity of the bombing will be reduce. the intensity of the targeting civilians with be somewhat reduced. this is really,

i mean, as long as new strikes on the southern lebanon plumes of smoke rose into the as is ready. soldiers are seen stoning the off them off. it's the latest in a series of cross border strikes by the is where the army and has the at least $179.00 people on both sides had been killed since october the 7th, including 23 lebanese civilians. ali hush and sent this update from southern lebanon, as well as deputy leda named custom one is red. it's not in the position to impose its conditions on his law. and that it's not going to come out with any gains from this war and not for the residents self. know this, ready to get back to that holmes. the water and guys should stop with israel's escalation targeting civilians. this means the response will be stronger and proportional to the is riley aggression. we have taken a decision to be in a state of will and confrontation on the southern front. 9 cross and speech game

just few days before how sudden the roll of a weighted speech of the said of january. and it's thought that crossing is setting the scene for a new stance from having the full. however, the situation on the board, the is still tense with eyes is really warplanes, have lost several ad strikes on different times on the board included rom. yeah. well, several explosions were had also towards the east in quite a killer. and in your bane which goes it goes to us yet in the end let bony with a couple of midsize from a drone launch has the loss claimed responsibility for several of the docs on his ray, the targets and positions. launching rockets and antique tank guided midsize on the how should i just, you know, look what i saw 7 at least 10 who see fighters have been killed and attacked by the

us military in the southern red sea. who's the vessels at assaulted a mask containing a ship? us helicopters responded to its distress. cool. pretty forces say that targeting ships in the red sea, the pressure is ro into a sea spot and gaza. us national security council spokesman john cubby says america will defend international trade or we're going to do what we have to do to protect shipping. number 2, we've got significant national security interest in the region just on our own, the united states. and we're going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interest. and we're going to act in self defense going forward. again. i'm not ruling anything in or out, but we have made it clear publicly to the who these we've made, clear privately to our allies and partners. and the reason that we take these threat seriously, and we're going to make the right decisions going forward. who's the military spokesman as well, and other countries not to intervene in what he called you? how many it says in the red sea? yes, a home the american enemy shall bear the consequences of this crime. their military

movement in the red sea to protect is really ships will not prevent human from carrying out its religious humanitarian and ethical duty to support the people of gaza. we call upon all countries not to follow the strangers because of the us, the consequences of which will touch everyone. on another note, with the grace of god, our you. many forces were successful in performing an operation in targeting a container ship that was heading to israel as a consequence of the crew. not responding to our warning. who's the attacks of most of the hit ships near the bubble minded straight? that's a narrow sea passage between the i'm and, and you booty that connects the indian ocean and the red sea. russell sort of has more problems. you can see with several countries, including the united states, have military bases since the beginning of the escalation in the rest, the, this is the 1st time the 4th. these are confirming that their members or death killed the by the usa. and they're seeing that you as best the full responsibility and the cost a cruise to. so what does that mean?

whether it is a hands for retaliation or a he's for more actions and operations. a guess to west has an even guess the american forces that is not clear yet, but what is clear is that us, it is increasing is name of the presence here. and it is determined to keep the above and mental states open. so for that is not the case. the many time traffic has drilled by up to 40 per cent. that is a remarkable number. on the other hand, with these are seeing that they have nothing to do with the ships that are nothing leakage round that the target the phone to the ships that are heading toward israel or coming from israel. and they said that they will not stop attacking the shift that the link to his ram until israel stop killing in gaza. on the other hand, the usa is not stepping back. so the question here is whether this is going to remain in of the receives position for in case of retaliation is going to change the position and shift into an offensive one. if do i say remains in

a defensive position, there's not much change. i expect this year, however, if it starts to be offensive, that could potentially 3 good, a full fledged award, steam to region, and that is the fear. and goodman concerns individual countries here as well. and they said that if that happens, if the us start to retaliate with these, not only in the right seat, but in human as well, for the war codes that bridge the region for us to send back hope to 0. you. but still ahead on how to 0, the opposition in the democratic republic, republic of congo calls protests and a rerun as the incumbent electricity is declared, the winner of the presidential election, the the

hello again. here's our weather report for the middle east and africa on monday. the 1st day of 2024, so still somewhat weather for saudi arabia's eastern providence. but i think the worst of this is over. we've seen a lot of hail storms as of late, but we also see that weather pass rate over kuwait, as it makes its way into either on this is going to give us a bit more in the way of cloud cover through the gulf. but the sun will poke out from the clouds as well, including for us here, and they'll have with a height of $24.00 degrees. well from cannot you to take it on from ask about to barcode. temperatures are above average here. plenty of sun in the mix. on monday, not so though, for turkey, especially the western side of the country, locked into a gloomy conditions here that's going to squeeze out a few showers around it, stumble more steady or bouts of rainbow for a southern turkey. around on talia to africa, we go also what weather, sneaking in here through the atlas mountains at northwest slice is a bit unsettled. temperatures coming down

a bit around the gulf of guinea and like all said $36.00 degrees and jolts and bolts around lake victoria, spreading out. so that's impacting both nairobi and kampala on monday. and then we've got this weather maker in the booth and big channel that is going to give us copious amounts of rain for the western size of madagascar on monday. so yeah, the president biden says, one to 2 state solution for palestinians and israelis. or does anybody believe it's doable? what this is real for? i'm gonna say it back to us foreign policy. and what are the long term consequences for the region and the world? a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line. what's most important to me is talking to people, understanding what they're going through here. it just here to we believe everyone has a story. we're hearing the

the you're watching. i'll just hear a reminder about top stories this out. the within the last 2 hours, garza has again being targeted by as many will planes, guided by slaves. jet struck the central part of the street. the number of palestinians killed in israel's will on garza is nearing 22000. at least 20 rockets will 5 and central and southern israel, 10 of which were intercepted. the custom brigades had claimed responsibility for the attack and the u. s. navy has killed at least 10 who's a fight. so it is in the red sea author responding to an attack on civilian

shipping in the region. it was these say the strikes will continue until there is a c spine in gaza. united nations is wanting, it's a race against time to prevent 2300000 people in gaza from starting the world. food program says basic services in the strip a close to complete the collapse, the u. n. has been wanting to sometime enough. enough aid is getting into gaza, leading us population at risk assessment as well as code the entry of a truck. so i think security concerns use of how much is the goals advocacy officer for the norwegian refugee council. he describes the immense challenges people are facing to find food and water. when he bought the house that ended on december to arrive to the month and then they don't go with a wish list. we go when whatever we buy. we've got a small amount of people who are looking to have the financial needs because of the prices are very me, i'm imagining, but who nation was really angry. and they said it before. imagining business to

which and also being displayed on the order of this mathis barely be able to identify and that day to find something here. you have to look at, look and go from a place just to find if you manage to find this gets for the children because it's between the food and eat on the water. became a really big thing to find that it's much even expensive as you put find it again to the market, is what people who receive it as a well you need the pen solution because it's not like to find out what says in the scale. takes it from the old, has failed and, and then have the responsibility is hopefully when they're coming in because they know i sincerely believe that order that we need the database for the dishes on the lease of the great in the coming year. i the whole that the, remember for a 2nd, our situation and the said to them here,

the right us, i look now at some of the days of the news. and taiwan is president says it's relations with china must be decided by its own people. signing ones, comments for those of a chinese presidency agent thing, and which he talked about the inevitable reunification of china and the island. china has been ramping up notary precious to assertive sovereignty claims of a taiwan, which is due to hold presidential and problem entry elections on january the 13th. and i'm sorry, so we use joining us live now from badging. so thorns. how did president site react to the latest rhetoric coming out of china? the time when president trying, when talked about 1st chinese was that you didn't think me a day address in the main body of his speech. but she was asked why report is what she thought about her non president. she had said that you and this occasion

between taiwan and china is inevitable. now we know all along, but this is china's position. but what president, she said is his use address is a lot more strong and compared to previous years address. last year he had said that people on both sides of the taiwan straits are members of one and the same family. the time was very diplomatic in her onset, and she said that relations between and time between taiwan and china has to be decided by the will of the people. because officers, as taiwan is a democratic government island. and she also said the has to be peace with dignity, and this really is very much in line with ty, one's position now on the tides. leadership tie, one has really boosted its defense capabilities, including modernizing its western grades. and she has like and tie one's position to people putting locks on their homes. she says this is not to provoke the

neighbors. this is just to keep themselves face. so this is, ty, one's position, strengthening is defense capabilities is it sees that as key to maintaining keys in the taiwan straits. of course, all the angles, the chinese communist parties from which seas try as a secretary and you need to incidents that all this is happening just a couple of weeks ahead of the time with these elections. any signs that to chime his recent actions in words, having impacts on the preparations and on the elections? well, we seem to, in a really setting up minute to the pressure to set itself bunch of domains of a tie. one, just as you know, tie one is heading into elections and the tie. one government has repeatedly borne that china is trying to, trying to interfere in this election to a combination of fake news and military and tre, pressure no type has advised people to be on the alert for this. and she also say

china should really respect the outcome of time on elections, whatever the outcome may be. no, we know that china has reserved his haunches criticisms for the current vice president my team that was also the presidential candidate for the ruling party. now he is leading opinion polls. the china has labeled him as a dangerous set, such as much like what they've done with president try and both from the same policy. it has to be set so that the democratic progressive party, that's the ruling party and taiwan law, just opposition party the form in time. have both said that the future of taiwan can only be decided by the will of people on the taiwanese and presidential candidates from both these parties of also expressed a desire for peaceful relations with china. right. seems to be the invasion. thank you very much. i the presidency, let's just say katie has been declared the winner, the democratic republic of congo is presidential election, giving in a 2nd 5 year to an office opposition party say the election was riggs and according

to protests against that outcome. catherine. so a reports now from jim sessa, the guns are done in the event. mr. physics on frontier security. these declaration does not come as a surprise president sit next to security quotes, 12 medium votes. he's closest competitor moist to be hard, a 3000000 opposition. presidential candidates the, the election was read by so think of some candidates use violence, vandalism, and corruption. they intimidated our employees doing voting. jane was to read the election in the favor. opposition only does say they will reject that outcome and they will not even go to court because they believe the constitutional court is compromised. so they will take the flight to the street. some election observe is how raised concerns about how the pulled was conducted delays technical each is and

now that you've regularities characterized the voting process. michigan, the move in the should go to the electro commission president and his team must be arrested. mr. they've thrown in the country, it's just the right. that is why we have telling our support is to resist. the president has us call the least to put aside the differences and get down to business with us. i would like to reassure you the 2nd monday that to you of ground to 3 will be dedicated to more action to achieve commitments. i've made this transform condos, some on and the see the presidents, what is cut out. so he needs to deal with security problems in the east team installation and corruption and kill a d p divided nation. kathy saw you all to sierra contessa gregory and tend to sell to is a former member of the un group of experts on democratic republic of congo. he says there are many concerns over the way the election was run. the fact that the

position is decided not to go to the constitutional court, but to send it support is out of the streets, does set things out for confrontation with the security forces. and we'll have to see whether they can mobilize significant numbers of people. this what i need to work is a strategy if you get millions of people thousands of people, i would cut it any anyone's hiding. that'd be no mist problems with the conductive, despite i mean to have a type of 6 days to have the fact that these both are cards in many cases couldn't be read by the machines. so they did it manually. that electro rouse went published . they're not going to be publishing results by testing station results from 11000 . i think bating stations i took the 85000 haven't been received yet. so there are huge problems and there's lots of grounds, but we have room for the opposition to say these resolves to reflect what happened

. i think what the district k these kind of is going to be saying is, yeah, that's the problems. but look, i go 73 percent. it sounds a little out of me, even though that some problems i still with. and i suspect the international communities get a go along with that. i real strong, some shilling and southern and eastern ukraine have killed at least 5 people and the reports of the strikes overnight in west innovative local authorities in the port city of a desa say, a russian drone strength damaged residential building, killing one person, an injury and several others. the russian combat drones also targeted the eastern ukrainian city of car keys, striking a hotel housing, ukrainian military commanders, at least 28 people have been injured. i said, beg reports from tease to waive the rest and strikes, talk to ukraine, 2nd largest city hockey authorities to address and strikes, hit the center of the city late and saturday night. i'm in the,

the hours of sunday what a present russian made for us this new. yes, they adults, souls simply talk souls, they boom, residential areas. there were people here. how can one do such things? the regional administration and cartoon, excessive again, infrastructure was damaged apartment buildings and a hotel that also had a plan for certain move with punch, drunk at a hotel and concave city scene to the strong could proximately hit the 12th floor. only 2 people were slightly injured. another strong hit a new 3 and completely destroyed the residential buildings were headed by the way of the explosion, and which he really damaged. the strikes came just hours after russia reported the casualties in the city of belgrade, same ukraine. the russian response was to talk at the car key of 70 kilometers away . ukraine says it's a defenses around the cap to keep involved in shooting down drones. this latest wave of attacks comes just days after russia targeted cities across the ukraine. in

march, forward to said was the most must have a real attack since the start of the war both sides ready confirm and ministry targets. i hate, we tend only to have and civilian infrastructure struck. but this, the fear that this recent tit for tat could mock escalation animal that's already been raging. now if we needed to guess, i said vague. i 0, keep the people around the world continue to say good bye to 2023. i'm celebrate the start of a new year. big been struck midnight, taking the hey into 2020 people that were treated to stunning fireworks display the in french capital parish. tens of thousands of people fill in the shows that lisa potter has also rung in 2024 with a laser show and fireworks in the city of the same people in

ramallah has held a rally and solidarity with the population of gauze. i mean, the ongoing destruction in the strip and run constant this report. the residents around my law around the streets is a but this is not a celebration by any means. this is, it's all there are 3 riley with the people of jobs. so let me just show you because of the, the list of about 80000 names. the fraction of the people that have died during the message is absolutely clear. another story that we all know number showing the faces of the children. this is a bounce. sure, you call it out, as i say, with the people it doesn't, but the message is absolutely clear. the war and goals and these and kind of the occupation that is all sort of needs. then 2024 is the yeah that these people who 1st the 1st thing will happen is this and within the goal is the strip itself.
