of the business, dw, is live from the land is really forces battle, how must militants in southern guys of main city has been having shedding on time units and run forces are engaged in what these really minute thing says. some of the most intense come back yet. also on the program ministry, 18 ukraine in danger of being the railed by us domestic politics prank. i think it's funny, we've gotten to this point in the 1st place for congressman publics. and congress is willing to give the greatest gift he can help for public ends of the us. senate

block president biden's request for emergency aid and pops that taylor swift kept a record breaking year by being named time magazines passed and all the year becoming the best woman to receive the honor twice. the hello i'm told me. alrighty. but welcome to the program. israel says it's troops have surrounded and reach the center of southern guys as largest city command as india sold on con unit save. the troops are engaged in some of the most intense fighting. so far as all says, it's aim is to eliminate thomas, which is regarded as a terrorist, moved by multiple countries. and the e. u. israel has told hundreds of thousands of palestinian civilians to relocate to so called safe zones. but the un says no way in gaza is safe. the

survivors safety through the rubble of a destroyed home, struck by his writing the miss out in the early hours of the morning. 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 it collapsed on top of us. none of us made it a completely okay. everyone is hard to the item you look for the united nation says almost 1900000 guys and so flat their home since the war began. many wind up here in san eunice. now guys, the 2nd largest city is a possible grant. israel says it's operating against comma strongholds and besides and to both sides report that the fighting is fierce, leaving civilians with nowhere to go. all my, the senior colleagues have been very clear, including the secretary general saying there is no, there is no,

there are no safe places in casa speaking to detail, but you use the israel. defense forces explains why they fire on site zones. now if from us use is a what as previous they've been defined as a safe zone in order to fight them to fire rockets. well, me so i'll set these ready civilians all to conduct combat activities to walk our troops from that area. then there may be a case where we want to retaliate fire, but that is a very, an extremely small percentage. the main hospital in con, eunice is overwhelmed. the un says delivering vital aid surprises impossible. i meant the fighting. and still, the injured keeps coming. as due to bodies, the devastation in con, unice has left many palestinians with a sense that the world has abandoned them. how do we need someone to stand by

our side? we need someone to find a solution. we are devastated. but despite a brief ceasefire between israel and thomas, the renewed fighting is as intense as ever generous somebody's hope. all is in jerusalem away from all high semi. now we have this claim from these ready ministry that they found. what they say is the largest weapons depot, or one of the largest weapons depot. and guys, can you tell us more to yeah, there's the was a found in the northern, the part of the garza street. i belonged to how most of the armed waiting. 2 guys have been in the us, um and they would, we see there is a 100. so the rock gates is some are short range, some of the long range, the ones that were targeted towards it. the lot dave and we also see lots of a k,

a 47 knowing here as kalashnikov. on top of that, we've seen the drones and the same depot it differently. we know that a lot of this has been produced locally inside the guys a stream. it probably in the underground, in demos. and then the, the idea was saying, and the statement that this was a file next to a civilian, the residential school clinic, etc, as someone would say, maybe to justify the kind of the attacks that they've been waging also against civilian targets. meanwhile, the un secretary general, antonio gutierrez, has described guys us through many tyrants the system as being at risk of total collapse and he's calling for a ceasefire reiterating his cool. so clearly israel doesn't look like it's going to comply in this evening. the cabinets had

a meeting to discuss these issues and they decided to let more fuel into the gaza strip. as they said that they are approving the entrance of the fuel in order to prevent the spread of the diseases. but the, as in terms of stopping the military campaign is not the agenda for now. the chief of staff, the minister of defense, and the time. yeah. who a gun spent a gun. so all of them have been repeatedly saying in the last few days, that is what is going to come, the new, the very aggressive the campaign, and they're not going to stop it. a gun on the municipal defense was saying that this campaign is also necessary in order to bring how much to surrender and release the hostages journalist assigned the circle in jerusalem. the now republicans in

the us senate have blocked an aid package for you cream. and israel, the head of the vote to president joe biden, just the opponents to put aside pontus and differences. he won that sailing to approve the funds could enable russia to be gained momentum in the war on ukraine. congress needs to pass supplemental funding for ukraine before they break for the holiday research. simple as that, frankly, i think it's funny that we've gotten to this point in the 1st place of congressmen . public's and congress are willing to give, put in the greatest gift ticket, helpful and abandoned our global leadership, not just ukraine, but beyond the w's. benjamin alvarez goober has been following the developments in washington dc. so that when not enough, those in the senate to pass this bill, the supplemental bill, the president biden was just mentioning, what is important to you that is not just financial help for ukraine,

but also for is rather also for border security. and also for taiwan in the, in the pacific. and the problem here is that republicans have repeatedly stressed the national security concerns needs to start with a, the us as a board, as security. they said that more needs to be done there. so it's a really big package, $106000000000.00 us dollars. and a few days ago the white house sat and urge congress to approve it this package by saying also by stating that the department of defense has use 97 percent of its funds. if you're creating the state department has used all the funds that it has. and that's something that don't kirby, the spokes person of the national security. and council also said earlier today saying that this will be a christmas gift for russian president vladimir putin. if it does not get past congress, no, but, and help us understand, considering the narrative recent, because considering the conversations around what's happening is in the wood

between the israel and a mass. it's not surprising that republicans would block on a package that mentions israel. so this is a clear case of showing how domestic policies have international implications for many of the u. s. allies. and that's also why president, by and mentioned that it's so important also for to rule to show the role that the, that the us wants to take a had a call with 27 leaders and said that it's role that the us wants to have. and also mentioning that allies could have questions saying if the us is not helping them, if not sending additional 8, why should we do that? and he urge them to do it. we have some reaction and some of them, a one of them is the speaker of the house of representatives. whether republicans, if a majority, like johnston sat and the republicans at how's incentive remained united. and he said that we have been clear from the beginning, the national security begins at our board are here to send it to mark democrats and also the wide host of am simply not acknowledging this fact. so we can expect that

there will be a lot of discussions that will still need to pass on to why it does happen. pressing saying that the clock is ticking. let's take a look now at some of the stories and making news around the world. the us 3 people have been killed in ones in critical condition. after shooting at the university campus in las vegas, police at a suspect was also found dead at the site. the las vegas sheriff said there was no further threat on the premises. and multiple victims have been taken to hospital a. hey, ruth, ex president alberto so lori has left prison. it happened after the country's top court crushed his 25 year sentence for human rights violations. support is celebrated, had all the release, but the ruling as close dismay among the victims of abuse is committed during his rule. in the 19 ninety's us pop onto his top, taylor swift has been named time magazines passing off, but yeah,

the american news magazine describes her as a musical force of nature and praise her as both the writer and the hero of her own story. the swift is the 1st woman to be awarded the title twice. she also won in 2017. well, i'll put it to you this way. uh, in 2023 this year. can you remember a month that went by without taylor swift grabbing the headlines? i know she has dominated the headlines every single month of this year. i mean, she's done everything. we're now looking at the fact that she's in a new relationship with an nfl player. she went on concert tour and she bought a bro records there. she's breaking records at the box office with her film about her concert. she's out there doing it all. she's every woman and we all love her music. and the most important thing is she lose the local economy. everywhere

she goes, everyone is happy because people come out, you have mothers, you have fathers, you have people buying memorabilia, staying at the local hotels renting car. so she says great for the economy and she seems to be bring families together. mothers and fathers come out to see a taylor swift perform along with their teenagers. so it's great, which is what is it exactly about how the mix are so popular that makes the appeal so much? i a she's a great songwriter. she knows how to tap into mainstream culture pop culture. she knows exactly what teen angst and what teenagers one especially teenage girls. they absolutely love her and love her music. she says true. and the reality is she doesn't really have any scandal, me outside of her dating why people are always prying into that. she's really the good girl. she's all american. interesting and,

and does this influence go beyond pop culture? yes. you know, lots of people have asked papers with to do so many things. you know, uh, governments want her to come. they want her to perform their just because they know issue in views cash into the refund of me. she's great. they know she has a huge following and so she's just, you know, she basically able to turn everything down. she's turned a lot of stuff down, but she just really has taken over. it's not just the music, it's like taylor, the, the know, you know what i mean, she does much more than that. she's not very political anymore, but she's, she is great. she's a great music superstar, and she's so kind to her fans. i don't know if you recall that she was in brazil recently were there with the, the heat there, which is astronomical and a young tailors with band dine, unfortunately at the concert because of the heat. and she went to the family and, and talked to them and was concerned about it and talked about it on her tour and

brought the family i think on stage to her next concert date. she had and really showed you know, a sign of caring and concerned for that and an offer to buy water bottles for everybody attending the next concert. so she's just a good girl all the way around and people just love her. they love her music and they love what she stands for. they love the fact that she's always out there doing something original without spending any by. okay, i think i'll have to update my plainest then case a matthews. thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you. as you're watching data mean easy as a reminder of our top story. as roles as its troops have surrounded and reached the center of southern guys as largest city commodities in the had units sold, say that troops are engaged in some of the most intense fighting so far. all that's it for now up next. as a documentary deep sea green explaining the ocean floor, i told me
