for cross bar targeting health facilities and gossip with turkish doctors, the most ration is an appeal to the international community to take action against israel. the israeli will planes pound gaza with strikes as prime minister benjamin netanyahu indicates a long go. the most of this is i'll just be relied from the also coming up fee as battles between how much sciences industry forces in central gaza. he's already made that he says it's expanding its ground operations southwest. so i don't know,

it's issued in israel, is by roger's of rockets of fine from garza towards tennessee, with fireworks lodging up landmarks and the size. these are life celebrations in new york times square. the button was fine. the celebrations mutilated as the one goes. it continues people march to the sensory room and demanding a c spot. we started, garza again is where the will planes have been targeting the strip are guarded by slaves. the jet struck the central part of goes up. the number of palestinians killed in his rose will run. garza is nearing 22000 more than 56000 people have been wounded. the

meanwhile fios fighting has continued in central garza between almost finances and is ready forces. these ready military is expanding its ground operations southward, tara assume has moved from rough uh, in the south of the tax software as the gaza strip continues that the of the last day of the 2023 were palestinians happening on the wide military attacks by the use of a lead for says we clearly understand that to the middle areas of the gaza strip have been a widely attacked by do use very 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 i 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 cartoonist 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 researching to during the last couple of days where these really forces are right now. making a very, please shift in the military operations from the north, towards the middle at southern parts of the garza strip as move for gates by these very many streets had been mobilized to take full control over. now these ongoing military attacks had increase the numbers of palestinians being killed to more than 21000 palestinians, including 9000 the child alongside with more than 6000 women since october, the sun is really on me. so summer service will be coming home from gauze this week . it says it will withdraw 5 come back brigades taking part in the ground battle. so the troops can gain strength for future fights. the army says the release

preservice will also help revive israel, sluggish economy. and it can be looked manually into 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 all of them together strength got the head of the coming activities in the next year. you might be much, it also is on the waiting has find a barrage of at least 20 rockets into a central and southern israel. israel says 10 of the projectiles were intercepted by it's based on defense system because i'm very guys have claimed responsibility for the attack is rose, national ambulance service says no injuries have been reported. so far. laura con, has more from occupied history. is there were at least 20 real kits fled from gauze a um, outer cassandra gates have taking responsibility for doing that. out that we know where they all because as an app that you can use that shows

a map of where the sirens of sounding and when the fire and sounds people tend to dock. so this is the mapped out so they tend to take shelter. so the number of pulling along the golf envelope in places like as steroids and just south of as jobs. but many of them talk just south of tennessee and the sign would spread across a large area of so a customer. kate said that they've done this because of the ongoing genocide in gulf, a 2 civilian 5 for gates of being withdrawal. and 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 forces, 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 3600. i resolved to know making

it the largest military deployments for israel, f a. but it meant that 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 posting unemployment from the site does. and instead sending an international from countries such as china ad, at shoreline come all to is a. so they want some tens of files and some people in however, the palestinians from the occupied westbank before the war of his seeing garza and east jerusalem rely very heavily on this employment. in order to provide for the

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 and gone so well. norman finkelstein is a political scientist. he says he sees no prospect to the amount of hiring disaster in the gaza strip. and 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, do it kind of damage, not just internationally, but more importantly, domestically the age cohort. roughly $18.00 to $34.00 is

overwhelmingly opposed to the buying a support of israel's director. so i know it will undermine his electability and so he's concerned that about n d b is really genocide. with that, it doesn't look so bad in the media. and so now there are reports that israel will agreed to byron's demand, that's certain aspects of the job, so i will be reduced. i am not convinced, however, that that's going to have a major impact on the essence of the as rarely assault on the people of god. so, so there's no real grounds for holes there. in the immediate turn, though, probably the intensity of the bombing will be reduced and the intensity of the

targeting civilians will be somewhat reduced. i'm not yet convinced that the humanitarian disaster, the starvation, and the spreading of communicable diseases will be reduced. as i said, the main concern is, or media concern, how it's looking in the mainstream media. that's the only concern that the president biden and his immediate entourage of they have no concern whatsoever about the death, the destruction, the killing off of the people across a. it's only a media agenda concern. now beyond that, if you look at the longer term israel has suffered 2 major blows. the 1st was on october service. when it was revealed to be as one is really correspond to recently put it. i think he wrote an article

yesterday trying to let him, since you said, isn't always revealed to have quote, a mediocre army. and that was a real shock for the world. actually, we are world to see that for all of israel's wanted, how to the military prowess on october 7th, a rag tag on the inside a concentration care was able to out with is real to this really, i mean, as long as new strikes on southern lebanon, booms of smoke rose into the addresses where the soldiers were seen filming the optimize. is the latest in a series of cross border strikes by these really ami and has blocks, at least a 179 people on both sides had been killed since october. the 7th, including 23 lebanese civilians, ali hush im sent this update from southern lebanon. how's the last deputy leader

named costs? and one is right. it's not in the position to impose its conditions on his lot and that it's not going to come out with any gains from this war. and that for the residence of know these rise to get back to that homes. the war on guys should stop with israel's escalation targeting civilians. this means the response will be stronger and proportionate to the is riley aggression. once we have taken a decision to be in a states of will and confrontation on the southern from 9 cross and speech game just few days before how sudden the role of a waited speech or the said of january. and his thought that costs him is setting the scene for a new stance from having the full however, the situation on the board, the is still the tense with eyes is really war. planes have lost several strikes on different towns on the board included rom. yeah. well,

several explosions were had also towards the east in quite a killer and in your beam which disclose it goes to us yet in the hold on. let bony with a couple of midsize from a drone launch has the la dangerous possibility for several of the docs on his ray . the targets and positions launching rockets and anti tank guided midsize on the how should i just, you know, look what i saw. 7, the police 10 who's the scientists have been killed and, and attacked by the us military in the southern red sea. because he bustles had a soul to the mask, contain a ship, us helicopters responded to its distress. cool boots, the forces say the targeting ships in the red sea to pressure israel into a cease fire in guns that the us national security council spokesman is on cubby says america will defendants national trade. or we're gonna do, 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 decision is going forward. who is a military spokesman, who's wound other countries not to interfere and what he called? yeah, many a says in the red sea, that's a home the american enemy shall bear the consequences of this crime. there are military movements in the red sea to protect is really ships will not prevent damage from carrying out its religious humanitarian and ethical duty to support the people of gaza. we call upon all countries not to follow this dangerous cause 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 because it the types of

mostly hit ships near the bubble minds up straight. that's a narrow sea passage between young men and gi booty that connects the indian ocean and the red sea. russell sir, dar has more now from jupiter to us. 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 by the usa, and they're seeing that us. that's the full responsibility. and the costs are curious as to what does that mean, whether it is a hands for retaliation or a he's for more actions and operations. a guest west has an even a guess to american forces that is not clear yet. but what is clear is that the usa is increasing is naval to present here, and it is determined to keep the above and mental states open so far. that is not the case. the many time traffic has gold by up to 40 percent. 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 to fall under 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 is around 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 a defensive position port 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, more steam to region, and that is the fear and grooming concerns. individual companies here as well. and they say that if that happens, if the us start to retaliate with these, not only in the right seat, but in yemen as well for the war,

could savage the region christmas. and that was a 0 are still ahead on al jazeera, more than 100 cultural landmarks and goes and going back centuries are destroyed by these very bombardments with just weeks left in office. taiwan, as president says, the future of the island lies with its people. the hello again. here's our weather report for the middle east and africa on monday. the 1st day have 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 passed right 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. tate 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 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 wet weather, sneaking in here through the list mountains that northwest slice is a bit unsettled. temperatures coming down a bit around the gulf of guinea in lagos, at $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 moves and big channel that is going to give us copious amounts of rain for the western size of madagascar. on monday, c a the, the,

it is the wrong rather than the exception for elders to report child abuse, to search kit. and it keeps and it protects the users for years and years. so no one's ever told me that it wasn't my fault. fault lines investigated, state laws in the us that can lead to child sexual abuse and religious institutions going on punished secrets of the clergy on the jersey. the the, you watching. how does a reminder about top stories this out the

within the last 2 hours because it has again being targeted by is really war planes guided by slash jet, struck the central part of the street. the number of kind of simians killed in israel's war on gaza is nearing 22 sounds. at least 20 rockets were fired at central and southern israel, 10 of which were intercepted because excuse me, the cut some brigades, i claimed responsibility for the attack. and the u. s, navy has killed at least 10 who's the fighters in the red sea author responding to an attack on civilian shipping. in the region. the who the say that strikes will continue to is a c spine in garza, during the war on guns and more than a 100 historic and cultural sites have been damaged or destroyed by these ready bombardment. it's a loss, not just the palestinians, but to the wide world as well. image and temper has more before as long demaury mosca northern calls. it was a church. it's been

a hardy site for 1500 years because of his writing strikes. now it looks like this, what is happening now in guys is the cultural genocide destroying that he was dish as identity as the history of the people. you know? so that's why it is raising these symbols. because this is why i don't want to sell people because i don't have disease coordination with 0 black heritage for peace is documented by the 100 historical sites and goals that have been damaged by his right. he strikes, including the costs of polish parts of which, dated back to the 13th century. it was a museum receiving thousands of visitors. yeah. that night looks like this. on the summer bulbs and ultimate iraq. my mom that was still functioning until the war that night looks like this. this where have dinner. so he's obliged to respect the

culture of here today. she also augusta is at season and now and that never happened to me. so i'm interested in for a last 2 months 3 sites on your nest goes well heritage preliminary list has been damaged, but so far, unesco has been silent. unesco has the mandate under the convention of 1950 for the head convention. it's unesco, should raise a lot of all those monuments or the 3 c across the, as the sign documented, a reference with that being passed. today's ratings. they know exactly the geographical location of these sites. a range of historical and cultural buildings in palestine is not new. what to these varieties have done is really popular a systematic campaign that's been going on since 1948. it's a huge loss, not just for the palestinians, but for mankind as a whole. entire villages, most un symmetries were raised in 1948 and it goes a lot appears to be what is happening again, image in cuba,

which is 0 the . let's take a look now at the use of in use and tie. one's president says it's relations with china. it must be decided by its own people. sign wings, comments, follow those. the chinese presents siege and ping in which he talked about the inevitable reunification of the island with china. john has been ramping up military pressure to a certain sovereignty claims over taiwan, which is due to hold presidential unparliamentary elections on january the 31st. so we were somewhat reports now from badging a hi. when he's president trying, when was off for reporters, what she thought about, chinese presidents, changing things new you had a message where he made a statement about reunification between taiwan and china as inevitable. now we know that this is, china is position all along with chinese positions. previous knew you had

a message, had taken a much soft just on square. he said people on both sides of the taiwan straits on members of one and the same family and tries. we action was very different. she said, but relations between china and taiwan must be decided by the will of the people. because taiwan is democrats with the government. she also said that must be peace, but it must be based on dignity. and this is very much in line with ty, one's position on detroit leadership, which she has post as high ones defense capabilities, including motor noise and it's worked for me believing that to be key to maintaining stability. now suppose all that has and get the chinese communist party, which views try as a separate, you know, in a few days time, one will be holding election and this is being watched very keenly in china. taiwan government has repeatedly borne that china is trying to interfere and it's election from a combination of fake news, military and trained depression. and ty also wants people to be on

a lot for this. and she also said china should respect the outcome of tie one election gloriously out to 0. patient president felix to security has been declared the winner of the democratic republic of condos presidential election, giving him a 2nd 5 year to an office. that opposition party say the election was rigged, and according to protest against the outcome. catherine solely reports now from congested. the guns are done in the midst here, it says it's um, frontier security. these declaration does not come as a surprise president sit next to security quotes, 12000000 volts. he's closest competitor moist to be hard. a 3000000 opposition. presidential candidates say the election was raped by so think of some candidates use violence, vandalism, and corruption. they intimidated our employees doing voting damage to rick the election in the favor. opposition. the 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 portable is conducted. delays technical each is and now that you've regularities characterized the voting process. michigan, emission to the electoral 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 lease to put aside the differences and get down to business with us. i would like to reassure you that the 2nd monday that to you of quantitative will be dedicated to more action to achieve commitments. i've made this transform congress some on and the see the presidents, what is cut out. so he needs to deal with security problems in the east team

targets. i hate, we tend only to have and civilian infrastructure is truck. but there's a 5th 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, or 3 people have been found dead in the canoe full of migrants and refugees near spain's canary islands. life guns rescued, 15 survivors from the boat around 300 kilometers south of the island. devout here to the canary islands. it just a 100 kilometers off the north western coast of africa. in recent months, the items have seen a spike in the number of microns arrivals, with spanish authorities saying nearly 32000 reach the archipelago in 2023 alone. meanwhile, it's how the north ortiz has obtained a migrant rescue of us. so the ocean viking, the 20 days of rich alleged failure to follow a prescribed route of the rescuing dozens of people. also libyan coast was admitted to run a humanitarian organization. so as israel so easily is punishing rescue as for

carrying out live saving work, people around the world continue to say good bye to 2023 and celebrate the start of a new year in new york. so we're now in bold. dropping times square. monica started for the $24.00 on the us east coast. less than 30 minutes ago. tens of thousands of people waited in the hours in the cold to get a good view of the customer has also wrung it in 2020 full, with a laser show and fireworks in the city of the sale. is ready. as of august on to the new year under the threat of missiles fired from the gaza strip. as rose, i'm done, defense system into sets of rockets aimed at television. about a minute past midnight. some revellers took shelter while others continued to celebrate in the streets. people in ramallah have held a rally and solidarity with the population of gaza amid ongoing destruction in the

streets and run con, sent this report, or the residence of ramallah around the streets for new year's eve. but this is not a celebration by any means. this is this all, there are a few, riley with the people of jobs. so let me just show you. because hey, of the, the list of about 80000 names, a 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 showing philadelphia, as i say, with the people garza. but the message here is absolutely clear. the war and goals and these, and kind of the, all the patient that is all sort of needs then 2024 is that these people who are most of those things will happen. noticed this and within the gaza strip itself, palestinians displaced by the war. i've tried to find moments of.
