struck by his riley marseilles, in the early hours of the morning to the commander with her 2 people inside the house. 20 of them were children. that's true. we don't know what happened to us about the fire. here's all of the collapse on top of us. none of us made that completely. okay. everyone is hard to that. let me look for the united nations and says almost 1900000 thousands have slid the homes since the war began. many wound up here in hon. eunice now goes to the 2nd largest city is the battle ground. israel says it is operating against homeless strongholds in the south and both sides report that the slicing is 5th, leaving civilians with no with to go. all my senior colleagues have been very clear, including the secretary general saying there is no, there is no,

there are no safe places in casa. the main hospital in han, eunice is overwhelmed. the un says delivering vice will ada supplies is impossible, amid the fighting and still the injured keep coming as to the bodies. the devastation in hon. unice has left many palestinians with the sense that the world has abandoned some. how do we need someone to stand by our side? we need someone to find us a solution. we are devastated. but despite a brief ceasefire between israel and whom us, the renewed fighting is as intense as ever. let's pick this up with you on this test time you saw call in give us and welcome back. sammy, i'm, let's start with a claim from these by the military. that very found what they say is one of the largest weapons that depos in gaza, or did the mouse as we know already,

it has the produce the weapons of various kinds in underground their underground factories inside the gaza strip. in fact, the, in the 7th of october is what it was surprised with this go over the equipment mandatory equipment that the, how much has and what we see. and what the idea for the showing is the both saying from the collection to call the a k, 47 and machine guns and all the way through a r p g d tank and the long, the long range. and besides that are in the, the, to leave a so this is definitely one of the achievements l, v i d s for this. so opperation, and they were stating that this is a, this depot in the north of the guns, a strip was in a residential area, and it was not far from some the schools and

a clinic right now. meanwhile, the un secretary general antonia gutierrez, the said that the humanitarian situation in gaza is now at risk of total collapse. he's called for a cease fire. it doesn't look like he's ro, is ready to comply. no, indeed. israel is now talking about eh, eh, accelerating the campaign in the guns a street. uh it been the guns who is in the war cabinet and he was saying and were listening to our friends. but we're doing what's good for 0. and the, the leadership in is really believes is the, the continuing the minister and campaign is what's good. and the you of the guidelines administer of defense says the other day that the by doing it,

it will also make the home us a surrender and to reduce the prisoners that are kept by how much the costs at the center of face of the hostages taken by how much on the in october. and we've had so that these linked audio recordings of a leasing between the prime minister and fried hostages, which to pay to refill criticism from those hostages of how the situation has been handled. just talk us through the criticism semi are indeed very hard to shake criticism and we've heard the bulls from those were held the kids up and also the family members who participated in this is a very big meeting. and the what the hostages were saying is that when they were head the hostage by how much they were scared, not from how much they were scared of the bombings they were. they were terrified. busy these bombings, and they said that one of the hostages was saying,

where is your intelligence? you been bartered right next to us? and they, they describe the situation of big fear. another thing they said is that they demanded the release of all the hostages. and they say that it is real that has missed an opportunity to release the hostages and by refusing to release the elderly and the men. and they were saying that the men that are kept postage there are suffering more than the women as the describe, a very difficult situation there. and they said that they have to be released now. and one cannot wait any any more. okay, thanks for that. send me send me, so i'll call and generally some process as it is relatively tons of government buildings this week. to do mine dependencies. 5,

i'm the release of the remaining hostages. israel says a 138 people are still being held in the gaza strip after being abducted within 60 days ago. the w spencer 0 that was in kind of even interviewed film students that she had a half or on whose family is one of those affected it's really hard killed or kidnapped, the unimaginable face that the field 12 of she will have runs relatives. it's been uh hello nurse, for our family and a sense, october 7th. obviously we leave the day every day when i was classified a general organization by multiple countries attack these well including the keyboard sigbili they killed her aunt to uncles. and one of the caregiver is they didn't till 9 of her family members hostage feeling abandoned by the used by the government. she will have her own turn to germany,

but she also hold citizenship to raise awareness of her family's ordeal. and we expect germany to do it every can. every child, i think she also traveled to brussels, to ask the european parliament to help put pressure on his rail to reach the hostage deal. the fact that we are here is a desperate act to ask for more help. age of she was family, the women and children were released during the pause in fighting deal of the late to november. it was and we were i called to see the people coming back from like hell, you know, almost it was amazing. it was exciting. it's was moving, it was unbelievable. it was so real because it was seeing them on screen, on television, with the rest of, you know, the people of these wrote and maybe the world, you know. so it was a moment of

a private moment that became very public a but to show how the father of 2 of the release children is still in gaza. read. i think the message in our, our goal now is to keep going. and even though a lot of people are back, there are still a lot of people that haven't go back and my family got a gift seeing some of my family back, but the families didn't. there are still sitting and waiting and crying and shouting and fighting for their loved ones. what's it like being at the mercy of the world? you mentioned public opinion and having that, that pressure on me. basically, i come from a very complicated the for politically and me know, vision and, and we as a family we are and these down the hard part. we are people of fees obviously does an occupation this country and it needs to end. but you know,

war is not and then so people are surprised when i'm saying they still believe in base and i wanted to because of what's happened to my family, but i think it's the only solution and that my family should be the last people that are dying and murdered over this, you know, crazy political situation. and so are the people and guys, and then to fight with the pain. you know, i see big families with so many names like a raised and crossed and, and it reminds me of my family because we have so many victims as well. well that's, you know, the linebacker to sisters whose cousin it's, i, was taken hostage by her mouse on the 7th of october, the hidden jeremy for meeting with chancellor shots tomorrow. thanks for coming in . welcome at both. i'm, let's start with what happened to a h. i back in october, so it was visiting his parents and our grandmother for the holiday. he doesn't live

in cube which very he lives in tennessee. and on that morning we were witnessing. so we're, we're just seeing the attacks through what's up group, our family chat. it started by a wait, it ties mom saying asking us to pray for them. um saying that they hear bombings and shootings in the street. after a while a ties father, he was in a different house. he told us, they're inside the house. please call for help, and that was the last message we got from him. since then, you have you have heard nothing you've heard and see nothing. so since then actually just a few days ago, we got a sign of life for me time for the 1st time after more than 50 days i'm of was we've got us from one of the hostages that were released and was held with him the

whole time and it was that he's alive, which was you know, big a big release for us because we didn't know even if he's alive until now. the red cross didn't see him, didn't meet him. none humanitarian organization met any of the hostages. so we really didn't know. but we also understood from them that he is in a very bad mental states. he is suffering from deep and his id. he witness his mother being murdered before he was taken away, he was with her at her house and he saw homeless terrace shooting her. and then they took him away. we know that he thinks he assumes that his father was also murdered because of the text message. and he thinks that his whole family, that lives in the woods building or all heard met that can he,

he knows that his sister was the only one that was far away on october 7th. so he thinks she's the only ones that survived. besides that, we know that some us terrorists are doing psychological to on the hostages that are being held. they're telling them there is no israel country anymore. they're telling them they have nowhere to go back to. no one cares about them. no one is doing nothing. in order to get the males, no one is talking on them. and then from what he knows that he saw his mother being murdered, any assumes that it happened to that as well. then he knows that the whole family lives in the same area. so and then in all of the suffering that he's in right now, he thinks that's the truth box for me. and tell me when the,

the we've had, we have 7 days if it's 65. and i think 3 or 4 sets of hostages released in that time. so were you watching those hostages to see if its hard was amongst them? oh, what list published previously? no, the list was um, the families had the like the gods, the least before. and we all knew that it was only include children and women because now no member. yeah. so we are new, is it? i will not be released during that says fire during that deal. so where does that leave you as a family because we, we, we had a just now and a report of families and taking these right, the government to task saying that not doing enough to get there to get that, that loved ones out. where are you on that? what do you think of the way the government has handle this in some way?

and we're also disappointing because it's been 60 to one days today. and there's still not home many, 5, still held hostage by homeless terrorist. and we know that every day that goes by is a danger for their lives. their life is in danger. they're barely getting food. they're getting one flat slice of bread and a day. or just a bit of rice. we know they, they haven't got any medical treatments, any medications, and we know that their life is limited in time. so what should the government have done? they should, should these drive the government have agreed to another safe i because as the way hamas tells it, it was a rival but was blocking this. i don't, you don't know that we weren't in the room, but that's the how my story. i expect the, the early government to put the hostages in 1st on 1st priority. so does that mean

then i keep having cease fires until they allow it for us, like the government would say, we've got some ours and we got them out because we kept hammering away at how mocks . and this is how we expect to get more hours. well, i know is that there was no deal on the table and if there is a deal on the table that could bring it tied back, i expect israel to take it even if and it includes, sees fire. i think that the hostages must come 1st. so you'll meet link chancellor shops tomorrow for, for what reason, what do you want from him? it. hi is the germans citizen. we've been here. it's our 2nd time right now in germany. we've met the collinsville schultz in the past and many other politicians before and our expectation from germany is to treat and

handle this case as a german citizens that are taking that were taken hostage and to treat it in, you know, in the same way they would have treated if it would happen on germany's land. so would you believe they haven't done that they should have done? i think right now the whole world needs to level off the pressure that they're putting on the, the countries that are playing the mediator act in this situation. so i gotta like, yes, like guitar, like egypt, like turkey. the countries that are feeding come on the other hosting them that are housing the, the hamas leaders. and i know that if the pressure would be to, you know, hard enough or big enough, it would happen and the hostages wouldn't be released. so i fear what, what,

what do you want to hear from the chances of tomorrow and you go in and have you meet and then he will not listen. but what do you want in an ideal? well, what do you want him to say that will that will go some ways of pushing, pushing with ease. of course, in an id a way i would want him to tell me that the tie is coming back today tomorrow, but i know he can say it was. but so i would like to hear. i would like to have his promise that he is treating a tie as it was happening on berlin in berlin, and that he is pushing the hostages lives in 1st priority. okay, thank you both for coming in and talking to us. we wish you well with your meetings and a few a novel lines. thank you. thank you. way from the wall on us president joe biden is urging congress to put aside pauses on

the differences and approved additional military aid for a different war. this time in ukraine, republicans wants any additional funds to depend on, tied to the us border security, as in 5 and has one that failing to approve the funds could enable russia to re game the mentioning to congress needs to pass supplemental funding for ukraine before they break for the holiday research simple is that frankly, i think it's funny that we've gotten to this point in the 1st place of congressmen publics. and congress are willing to give, putting the greatest gift he could helpful and abandoned our global leadership, not just to ukraine, but beyond present buying. the q is republicans in congress of plain checking with america's national security correspondent benjamin alvarez. that group in washington told me more. that's, that's right. and he's saying that they are taking in funding for ukraine hostage

for what he called extreme. it bought a policy. we have mike johnson, who is the speaker of the house of representatives, were republicans have a majority of what he has said by also dismissing this letter. they why, how send and suggesting that we're running out of time and we need to get this supplemental approved as soon as possible. he dismisses saying that any efforts by the, by not ministration when it comes to national security, should start with the border. so for them, it's important to stress that to abide and said in this remarks a only recently that the border system indeed and i quote, is it, it's broken and broken board a system that more needs to be done. but he also said that it's something that we actually made it to this phone where we have this differences in a the house of representatives with republican saying that if we want to approve the supplemental with aid, not only for ukraine, but also for israel, for taiwan. for the in the pacific, the u as needs it to focus on the border issues now. so that's why they use us president as stress. so this will be a gift. that's also what it junk kirby,

the spokes person of the national security council. as said earlier today that this will be a christmas gift, and full vladimir putin is this is not approved and this is supplemental installed in congress and can i get it to ukraine? right. so what happens next or so there will be a vote. they will be a vote at the senate for we have some republican so also saying and also stressing that is important to us, continues in sending military equipment to ukraine. we also have a high ranking delegation from ukraine, weighs in washington, also meeting with secretary of defense law to austin, also high ranking members off at the state department to get this and over as soon as possible. soon they will also be recessed in both chambers of the house of representatives and also the senate to get this through as quickly as possible. but the white house has sent out this letter morning saying we're running out of time.

we need the right now. they said that the department of state has to use 97 percent of this funds is that it had and completely over since or until it mid november. so saying that this needs to get and that the needs to be a partisan agreement to sent this funds to ukraine, but also mentioned also other countries they will, the will need that and present job. i'd had a meeting earlier today with the 7 leaders, and that's why he said that the global leadership that the us wants to show is so important because what will other countries say if the u. s. is not sending any more weapons to ukraine, being the biggest country and the biggest suppliers of weapons a to ukraine was facing the russians, aggression to the full several years. okay, thank you for that to happen. you mean about as grew up in washington to us pop stock. taylor swift has been named time magazines, person of the year american news magazine described as a musical force of nature apprised as both the vita and the hero of story. the

swift as the 1st were meant to be awarded the title twice or so. so one in 2017. so that's sort of an segment to joe, this k j matthews in los angeles, who just missed out base you about beth taylor. swift effects welcome k j. so, but usually on a politicians, i do remember the 1st when done, donald trump, when they said 2016. so why has this pop star 18? again? you know, time magazine has been all over the morning news networks here in america, and everyone's been saying, you know, in light of all the things that are happening in the world, why is taylor swim? the art is to put on as the person of the year and they basically said they're not saying that there weren't other more pressing issues in the world, but she is single handedly responsible for bringing out more joy, more joy this year. do anyone else consecutively, for 12 months,

out of the year. and so they wanted to, to kind of have someone that they thought was up lifting a joyful, especially at this time of the year. and he thought that taylor swift represents i'm, let's just look at the swift phenomena because i called her a pump stopped, but that barely touches that type. but what is it about? so that makes the so phenomenal, have a, a swift, is that right? even company outside a venue to say a global ear as to what's going on there. a, there's so many records, but look, i pulled this up. listen to this taylor swift, such an all time. new record for most listeners, for any artist and a single year. that's just one thing. here's what breaks bio sales record. and now universities are sitting taylor's web success is making her the subject of the class of the university of miami. worse with these and not with these to learn about trademark infringement. i mean, how was that for having a little bit?

but i think the most important thing is the fact that she used local economy. that is why here in los angeles itself, by stadium, when she played, oh my god, she, she put so much money into the local economy that everyone was the real. she brings mother, he brings father, she brings teenagers into her concert. and everybody just wants to spend money, they want to buy her memorabilia. they want to eat at the local restaurants, they want to pay for hotels. so it's great that you've hiring a lot of people locally and she's also boosting their economy. so it really is a win win, and i think that's one of the reasons why she's had such a global international impact for so long this particular year of this brief. what about influence beyond pop culture? because she is this phenomenon, isn't she? oh, she's definitely a phenomena. i'm a look at her concert a ticket. so he's already touring a junior master needs to take a break and then she went right back out to the touring uh, you know,

concert circuit. she has a movie about her concert and people without to see that it seems that everything she touches true right for a long time. so yes, she's had that effect. thank you so much. k j k j. now, who's on taylor swift in los angeles. thank you. i'll have the will, these are the top of it all coming up next year on the w. i will take you through the big stories out of the day in the day. so stay tuned for the the

a bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. it seems, would it be, you know, they like good everyone to ok, so to be cheering into the microphone. sorry. check out the award winning outcome. don't call back the us military. i, for ukraine is likely to run out soon unless congress agrees to pass more funding. but not funding has failed to materialize as republicans block it in a baffle over immigration policy has invited. and it says that threatens america's leadership, and it's national security. i'm field gathering but later this is the day the .
