the, the, this is the, the, you use life from 1000000000 protecting civilians must be on priority. that's the message from the united states, secretary of state. the waste says israel has the right to defend itself in gaza, but that comes with conditions as well as military campaign intensifies in the south of the gaza strip. it's sold, his face face resistance from homeless militants, gunfire tillery, and as strong suite to even both palestinian casualties will take you to the united

nations climate conference and due by the irony of discussions about the future of fossil fuels in one of the world's most oil rich regions activists going during phones of energy production phase stats as the planet continues to boil, mom and trouble at home for german chancellor, old of schultz. he's under intense scrutiny after a series of setbacks and his approval rating slumping in the polls. the bank visible and welcome mold. in 2 months of war between israel and thomas have passed and the death toll continues to rise. else officials in the home as one goes this trip say of $17000.00 people have died in the fighting, mainly civilians that's stoking international calls for a ceasefire. u, a secretary of state entity blinking has called on as well to prioritize the

protection of civilian life. again, underscoring washington's position on the wall. as we stand here almost a week into this campaign in the south, after the end of the monitoring applause, it is imperative. it remains imperative that israel put a premium on civilian protection and there does remain a gap between exactly what what i said when i was there, the intent to protect civilians and the actual results that we're seeing on the ground. i asked that correspondent ginger voice latania came about the reaction to blink and strongest public criticism. yet of israel conduct of the war on how much we've heard over the policies, there's more, more pressure by the united states and more pushback. know to do more to protect palestinians by the civilian population in golf. a note as well as said for many weeks as well that they're claiming,

basically from us that they are using civilians as a human shield. and they are saying the military here that they're doing a lot to protect it's civilians to tell them to document certain areas to give them corridors to move. they're also published in that, you know, detailing of putting splitting up carson and hundreds of little districts. but i talked to people in dollars on the phone as we, as doing this kind of a go there. they're telling me this is very confusing. uh, we have to understand that over an estimated number of 1800000 of people out of the 2200000 residents in gaza that has been displaced. the old move to many of them move to the south and of course know the ground operation also being expended to the sales people simply have no place to go anymore to, to be safe. there's no safe area. that's what they are telling me. and even if there are a vocation close to go to certain areas,

this still also as strikes and other areas. so people are saying, if there is no cold for full seas, for there's no safety and security for, for them in garza at the moment, antonio and i see mandatory in front we had that as well. setting up a 2nd check point for trunk, springing a to garza. how is that going to help? well, there's talk about the opening or gees of partially opening of the the tell them shalom crossing. now, the beginning of the war is well, had chose both of its crossings that are going into a garza so one is the north of the iris crossing. this is only for a people to cross and, and now this one is close and there is also the term sheet on crossing in the cells, which has also been closely suspicious before the wor, usually goods were going in and out, right? no 8 is only coming in through the south of crossing with egypt. so there has been told us no timeframe given if this would actually happen that the crossing

determine so long crossing could help with the screening and you know, those security mechanisms that is what it wants to see in place. but the other problem actually is not just the crossings which we're hearing from you monitoring organizations from the united nations is actually right now the distribution of you might determine aid coming in to cause that because as, as heavy as fighting reported also in the cells. so most of the trucks that are coming in and they're not that many coming in, but those are coming in. no, they cannot reach the middle areas or the northern part or even in the south. it's quite limited. we are hearing from the united patients and we had the under general secretary marching fritz is saying that we don't you do not have for humanitarian operation in southern dog or that you can call or you monitoring operation and power fuzzy phrasing here anymore. because you know, this is a very difficult now to get the humanitarian age 2 people to correspond to tanya k

my in jerusalem and we'll talk to the red cross in a moment. the in gaza 1st is well says it will not lit up and it strive to eliminate thomas considered a terrorist group by numerous countries. he's more on the finding of the cell for the tower tree and the dice humanitarian situation. the physical and emotional trend continue to rain down on the palestinian people of god. and despite is real declaring some areas to be safe zones. air strikes are constant threats. we are with children in the old people and women. i beg you not to bomb us. and she and her family are among the 1800000 people who work internally displaced at 80 percent of the population places to seek

shelter, ever shrinking. those who are able to escape bombings with their lives are barely living at all. food. water and other basics are scarce. seen as i'm a quick game here for them. as you see there is no shelters. i have no dent. i'm not paying anyone. water tyler, or no toilet margaret long look at our children, how they look. there is no place to shop for them. but that today there were fights with people because of the smaller places. you know, we cannot set up dense nor can we cover our children. this is the milwaukee camp in southern gaza. this really military has designated it as a safe so, but there is no aid. it's undeveloped land. we're already desperate people are living and squalid conditions and strikes and roughly near the rejection border. have some fear in those who have fled their homes to seek safety in the cities camp . despite international calls for a ceasefire,

heavy urban combat intensive, i don't even think the we're little bit persistent fighting along the entire trip rather than 2nd stages of calling by to eliminating terrorism, including senior, combined, this hiding underground tunnels. i mean, not working, and also destroying terrorist infrastructure, the steel cable. the un has warrant that casa, is teetering on a humanitarian catastrophe, with hospitals and able to care for the injured and the growing threat of disease. sweeping through refugee camp. steven ryan is a rapid deployment coordinator at the international committee for the red cross and joins us from southern gaza. how do i is the situation for civilians is the focus of funding extends to the entire strip. ok. well, thank you for having me on this morning. firstly, and as our listeners will have just seen and heard the situation in gaza is in

describes of, of the condition for civilians are facing the loss of life, the continued to happen. and they, they extreme challenge that organization such as the international community at the right cost, the i c. or if you're facing and bringing aging together and being able to distribute it safely. under the current conditions, we have reached the limits of humanitarian action, an environment like this is steven with 1800000 people displaced. how many people does that mean you can actually reach if you've already reached your limits? well, in these sorts of conditions, one of the things that we need absolutely is a greater degree of age to be able to enter the got the script right now. people are without, many people are without food, water, and you've seen people are without shelter people or would i, i would as kind of patient facilities. and these conditions are absolutely new main . but along with additional need coming in was some aid is trickling in as a need for more. but there's also the need to be able to distribute to take me and

to make sure that we're able to do this in an organized way. and these current conditions, while people are moving, leading phasing from wherever they can go to wherever they can at least imagine that they might be safe. this makes humanitarian operations extremely difficult. certainly we have a great challenges and they getting the relief in regards to security conditions on the ground are not conducive to being able to provide humanitarian assistance. and this is utterly unacceptable. how are you managing to stay safe and keep your own people safe while trying to help other people have gotten as well? certainly the ip yorkie is continuing its activities on the ground with the limited resources that we have in particular or activities that are focused on the couch. we're supporting hospitals here and we have a medical surgical team who are providing assistance and operations and surgery. the people that have been wounded by the pricing,

but these hospitals are overwhelmed. in recent days, i was visiting one of these hospitals and they are, they're full of people. john packed. i don't think that you do. it can possibly imagine that these places of safety and refuge uh are also places where i, hundreds of people are treated each day and you to ones that are caused by the ongoing fighting. in addition, people are struggling because many diseases are at a risk of breaking out. people are very simple. things like simple, you know, and this is related to the cooling weather related to the i'm tired of treat conditions. and this is making it very difficult for them to access medical care because they number people, if i could buy the pricing, continues to be extremely large, or teams are doing their best that they can right now here in guthrie. but it's not going to be enough. we need much, much more access and we need much more safety to be able to do our work. and what about another troops? i mean, that helps the humanitarian situation. somewhat recently. do you expect any help

from the un security council when it votes later today on a push for it seems fine. i would certainly our view is add that's this recent pause and the pricing was a moment of rest bikes for people who have been a baiting devastated over the past. more than 2 months. i anything that brings rest by to the civilians who are affected by this complex is a welcome step. but it's up to they. it's up to the people who are asking for jersey counsel these leaders to recognize that now we have reached a point where civilians continue to suffer to an unacceptable degree. we, the international community of direct costs would remain here in god's are providing assistance regardless of the outcome of any of these discussions. but right now what's needed is a recognition that for billions of a continuing to suffer deeply in doing an amazing job, saving ryan from the i see us in southern gaza. thank you for being on t w today. thank you. is

a look now at some of the other well use headlines at this hour. the u. s. department of justice is charged $105.00 and with 9 criminal accounts related to tax avoidance. the son of the american president faces the maximum 17 years in prison if convicted is awaiting facing possible jail time on federal firearms charges after a plea bargain failed. so for world tie, one says 12 chinese funded jet set, a suspected with a balloon across the top, one straight sensitive media in line time one is on hire, looked for signs of rival china trying to interfere in the islands presidential election next month. china has last visa fees for travelers from thailand, japan, mexico, vietnam, as the philippines, it's the latest effort to boost the flagging tourism industry. last month the china are offered. these are free entry to visitors and business travelers from the is use 5 biggest economies to try to improve its image in the west. as well as late as

discussed climate action at the you when conference into bikes. one to comes up, a lot. one are to have to great in 2015 hundreds of countries agreed to brand pop if it's to them, a global warming to the target time to take stock and look at what is the limit is exceeded wildfires in canada, floods in libya, sweltering heat in brazil, and extreme drought and the horn of africa. this is a world 1.2 degrees hotter than the early 19 hundreds. a world that is edging closer to the temperature limit leaders agreed would avoid the worst impacts of climate change. 1.5 degree celsius compared to pre industrial levels. that's like a 1st line of defense where we want to tell the few months the need to change our behavior in other save the planet in order to keep the planet for future generation. as we keep the app disappear by burning fossil fuels,

scientists say it will lead to even more extreme, whether or drought and the disappearance of more animal and plant species. people already at risk will suffer 1st and more like this family in southern iraq and intense drought force to, to leave behind the countryside and settled for poverty in the city. during the night, when there was water, we used to grow everything on our land, including vegetables, as we lived on that agriculture. but when the water started to dwindle, it would be available for 2 months for a month until it stopped completely and more. by the end of the parts of the middle east, africa or asia may be some of the hardest hit right now. but the risk for extreme weather is increasing everywhere. different parts of the world are going to be affected in different way. but what we also know that those extreme events, the pads are both extremely advanced, is also going to shift and in the places where currently you may feel, well,

we are not going to experience as much. i'm sure that that's not true. to keep the planet habitable plants and animals, they to work with their environment. but key goes systems like these are already starting to break down. i sheets are melting. permafrost low storing, and cro reese are dying off. going above 1.5 degrees doesn't mean complete disaster, but any fraction of a degree makes a big difference in people's lives and the environment. according to climate scientists, we need to stop burning fossil fuels, the pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by 2050 to keep to the 1.5 degree target. a very, very close to 1.5. but at the same time, it shouldn't be a signal to give up a call, then do nothing. on the contrary, the need to do more in order to prevent the even bigger increases in temperature. the closer we stick to the target, the more we can hope to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. i also

correspond to the on the phone. how much time to tell us more about that goes. she is focus on the future of fossil fuels. yeah, exactly. so what we're heading into is really the crunch time off this conference now as professional negotiators are handing over to their ministers to really hammer down on the details and, and what sort of, at the heart of these negotiations is the global stop take. it's a 1st of its kind in un climates uh, some of its negotiations because of basically, you know, look, that's how far the world has come since the 2015 pairs agreement and what it still has to do next. and that's exactly, you know, where we're coming to the fossil fuel face out because that really is at the center of the debate here because they're very opposing views on what kind of language to include in this final text. will they actually be a fossil fuel phase out of all fossil fuels, like many countries are calling for? will they be awarded donald version and we have to remember, you know, that all,

all states have to read on those texts. there's a lot of different options on the table, and it's really up to the political negotiators to know how about the details and, and make some decisions in the next coming days. and there are so many livelihoods here. it's taken people's lives. how likely is a just and equitable phase out of fossil fuel? yeah, exactly, that's, that's the big question here. just this morning, delegates representative activists from the pacific island states. some of those dates were most affected by the consequences of the time of crisis already on stage to protest here as comp calling really for an equitable just transition out of all fossil fuels. but there is, there are also, you know, powerful players in the negotiations name the states like saudi arabia, all producing oil, producing saudi arabia, who are we're opposing even including language on

a face diving of fossil fuels. and we've heard from, you know, people inside the negotiation rooms, that's a soonest, as a country like saudi arabia detailed why it's the light is opposing such a fossil fuel phase down. i'm representatives from small island nations really got very emotional because for them you said is it's really their survival. that's at stake here. and uh is they've been a huge business address. that steak as well. as you mentioned, they're telling me more about why this is conference is being modeled so much controversy. yeah, there is many reason for that. um, you know about follow uh the head of the cop 28th, 2000. i was out there who's also ahead of the national oil company, but then you mentioned the business interest. um there was more law abuse fossil fuel lobbies tier than at any carpet before. $2400.00 is, is the estimate that's more than even the delegates representatives from the 10 most effective kind of vulnerable nations combined and many a warning that's these business interests to get more room then the interest of

those who are suffering, the consequences from the consequences of the, of the climate crisis. there is a lot of controversy. assumption algebra has said that he wants to make this a historic a comp. and it will certainly depends on the exact wording off of fossil fuel face . and that's what it was phase out. so that's what everybody is watching, whether it will really be, you know, measure ops to these expectations. he said he wants to get the cop on. it's done on time. and which would be the 1st time in 20 years that that has happened. but there is a lot of pressure now to, to not in border down and what is in the final text. and to really make this, make this count very interesting points and interesting figures to probably only fun homicide in 2 bye thank you. and you have a chance was drop a proof of writing. is that a record low? according to a new survey, the monthly germany trained po found less than 20 percent of people read

a satisfied or very satisfied with the jump off. schultz is doing other body leaders had better digging into the details around huff said he was acting prudence . they've already 12 percent felt he was a good communicator and less than a quarter of people said he can stay of the country through a crisis. according to the results, this is the worst pulling for a head of government in within 25 years. here. the poll comes exactly 2 years after schultz was i'd like to chance the presenting catastrophic balance sheet is a look at what led to this. so telling the world's full largest economy is currently being haunted by one question is towards his german, he's still a reliable partner from an italian perspective. now all i've sold says, reaction as a press conference for the tell you in prime minister georgia maloney went viral. sure. not include, thank you for asking about jo insides of policies, salts re direction of cobit money to fund germany's green transition was ruled,

unconstitutional leaving him without to budget just weeks before it supposed to come into force. his reputation as a smooth operator is shots. it, the physician is having a field day. these things are, you are a plumber of power to lack any idea of how this country should develop over the coming years. while sold shrugs off the criticism he simply couldn't shake off looming government crisis sparks by his thoughts as to them. the soul says 3 way coalition continues to argue over with to make costs for the 2024 budgets. it's only the latest in a series of very public rouse, undeniably is now mostly the fear of press elections that is holding this government together. salts as cabinet just missed the last chance to get a new budget to parliament by the end of the year. no winter is coming on. charles

has gone from granting political wishes to his coalition partners to being the one who hopes to make a political miracle come true. for christmas light springing out political corresponded hunts. punt. how disasters is this pope for transfer? schultz yeah. as the, as we heard is the, is really, is the verse performance of any government, a leader of every met, any head of government in germany, since these polls have been conducted for the last 25 years or so. so it really, really is a very bad showing shows has been declining the approval rights have been, have been declining, ever since he took office 2 years ago. one can say that, you know, he was faced with a very difficult situation with the war and ukraine with the tail end of the corona epidemic. um, uh, with the crisis and all in the middle east. um and uh, the most recent crisis. the fact that his budget uh was thrown off by the

constitutional quotes and pots. um, so he has been facing and then he has a 3 policy condition which we've never had in germany before. so very difficult situation, but you could say that's exactly the situation in which a leader should show his leadership capacity and shows clearly in the view of voters and all the public has not shown that kind of leadership. so how does, what's it going to well, at the moment his, it, his method is the one that is always shy and keep calm and carry on. you might say, don't let yourself be rattled by these kinds of polls trying to continue with your policies. a steady hand, best kind of thing. that's what he's been trying to project, but the problem is that he's a, in the end, he's a bad communicator. he does not really manage to come across as somebody who understands how rack told the public is how worried people are all about the future,

about the situation about things like climate change and so on. and so he's not come across to somebody who really manages to understand what people think. and that's really what is reflected in these polls. so new elections and not an option to new elections. what's the opposition? this calling for about no new elections and also an option because all 3 parties in this code, ition government, the social democrats, the greens, the business friendly, freed democrats. they're all doing very badly in the polls. in fact, the search democrats are not behind the greens and all in the the 4th largest party in these pulse. the largest quality of the conservatives, followed by the ultra right wing, but by the writing of tentative for germany. so if elections were held today, it will be very bad for all 3 parties in the coalition. so in the sense that condemned to continuing with the bickering. how does what about his own body? does it face criticism? there?

it's good. it's congress starting today. yes, the congress was starting today and yes, it will face criticism of obviously the party rank and file a very worried about these paul, the results of very worried about how badly the policy is doing and the pause and that will be christmas isn't around the social democratic policies, which many members of this policy feel have not been well enough represented in what the government is doing. but in the end, i think that will be backing for shots, especially in the current budget crisis. and the project congress will say to him, keep, keep on doing this, find a solution quickly so that we can go head rather than fighting and public keeping common, moving along. you've heard it from us, pun, thank you very much for the analysis and you're watching data we can use of next the that was you can use asia to what's behind the latest bound of instability and getting the south. the president dissolves parliament alleging a true attempts,
