of the this is due to the news live and from berlin tonight, mounting international pressure on israel over its attacks on gauze of the us defense secretary on monday, met with prime minister benjamin at yahoo and tell a beep. he says us support for israel is unshakable. but he's also pushing is really leaders to outline a future for going after mos also coming up tonight, international observers and say, certainly as a snap election was anything but fair and monitoring mission has reported multiple irregularities in the when a president, alexander who teaches the serbian progressive party will get more from our

correspondence in belgrade and in japan and south korea, say north korea has launched a missile capable of hitting a target anywhere inside the continental united states. the regard to our view is want you going to cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin with increasing international calls for is real to scale back. it's a salt on garza and that includes from its closest ally, the united states, us defense secretary lloyd austin is in tel aviv, where he is held separate talks with is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and israel's defense administered a lot at a press conference. often said that they had discussed ways to transition from major combat operations to lower intensity. one was there in the battle against

a moss moss. as you may remember is a group considered a terrorist organization by numerous countries, often reiterated that israel does have the right to defend itself. he also stress that it has an obligation to trying to protect civilian law, protecting palestinian civilians and gaza is both a moral duty and a strategic imperative. so we will continue to stand up for israel's bedrock right to defend itself. and we will also continue to urge the protection of civilians during conflict and to increase the flow of humanitarian aid integral. so that's important. this is real fights to dismantle the ha ha star terrace infrastructure industrial. we generally send the circle in jerusalem following that press conference. so the secretary austin was talking not only about the humanitarian aid that has to go into the gaza strip and not only

about the how the streaming lives. but he was also talking the specifically about the subject, those strikes that isn't as to adopt the surgical strikes. that i'm being close to the talks between the parties. and they went into the teams from a how the next stages it should be. at the same time the austin was saying that the they didn't give is around any deadlines. and this was also reiterated by you off balance himself. is that he was saying that there is no a ticking clock and that the is really operation a will continue. it, but they have agreed to a further have a closer coordination with the continuing of the campaign. and he said that america is giving advice to this early is and a go around to a saying that they're listening to the advice. so they're listening to their advice

. are you saying then send me any signs that is real? might be looking at changing it strategy in golf? well, i must say that on the ground, you really don't see it. and you know, today there was a human rights watch report as talking about hunger as a strategy. and they're talking about the severe situation in the gaza strip. the strikes are continuing inside the gaza strip. and a, it's not clear yet when there's a actually, when the materialize into a change in the way is run is waging its time pay in the jobs is this might be something that it wouldn't take time of the prime minister. we know that he is under a lot of pressure from outside of the country. what about domestic pressure on benjamin netanyahu?

yeah. what we've seen the funneling reconnecting of the es 3. yeah. hostages. there is a surge of anger among the families of the hostages. among those who were released uh they were saying that the what happened there is actually a reflection that the minute gary operating in the gaza strip is not focused at looking for hostages, but rather focusing on the different mission, which is a revenge you mission. busy targeting a how boss and we've seen this kind of demonstrations at the same time, i must tell you that many people in is, are, i believe that neo is committed to continuing this war. and he's touching his political future with the extension of the war. as this is something

that can play for him, since the failure of the 7 silver october is very much identified with him victory over how much it could be saving him politically in the. is there any internal or reno journalist it's amy. so go with the ladies tonight from jerusalem, sammy, as always, thank you to you and security council vote on a ceasefire. resolution for guns is set to take place on monday. as importantly, been postponed to allow further negotiations. as israel continues, it's more against them off in the territory. human rights watch has accused of using starvation as a weapon. the rights which dog says that it has evidence that israel is deliberately starving civilians and blocking deliveries of food, water, and fuel into a gas. it is real denies the accusations and has a choose the group of anti images. my next guest is struck for

lady g is from ox family. she joins is from ramallah in the occupied west bank. it's good to have you with this this evening of human rights watch. accusing is real of committing more crimes saying that it's forces are deliberately blocking the delivery of aid, such as water, food, and fuel. what's your take on this accusation? i do. it's important to differentiate the monday, the human rights watch, an awesome hardware, humanitarian organization, we deliver aid. we work within an international humanitarian law framework. we don't make determinations of more crimes or investigate human rights violation. we monitor them. so the band form our policy position, but from what we know before october 7th, we know that israel was in great violation of his duties and responsibilities towards size. this population is the main as the occupier. it occupies the controls, caused by controls on the borders of cause. it controls how much it goes in and

comes out size, or whether that's people or goods. and as before, the tons of toner, that siege was high. and on the 9th of october in response to the atrocities of the 7th of october and of the type of switching off electricity water, restricting 8. and preventing fuels from entering guys is collect and punishment and that doesn't amount to work time. and using separation as a webinar for we also, you know, have evidence from props being completely destroyed, the wheat mail not able to the only the mountains are not able to operate. and currently we only have 5 to 10 percent of needs being met with the delivery of a size of all of this points to great violations of violations of international law where we have people literally almost starting to that and guys are right now let me ask you to israel says that it is doing everything in its power to protect civilians in gaza. is that the impression that you and your team on the ground are

getting as well? that was another point i wanted to answer on my end. the previous question is another thing that points to what times are in the indiscriminate nature of the tasks. we have seen them entire health care system collapse. we're talking about as a, to a city of 2200000 people. this is a large city is a very densely populated, there's over 30 hospitals. most of them are, are barely running. it's running at all in the north. it's the situation is even more frightening. we have the situation or come i want a hospital where it's been besieged and we have people inside track. we've heard her basic reports on what's happening in the north. we know that women are, you know, i mean we haven't complete health care collapse. there's no, there's been tried targeted attacks on you and shelters on bakeries, on solar panels. so all of this points to the indiscriminate nature of

the attacks the course of the past 2 and a half months and gaza initially. let me ask you too about um, some of the videos that service on sunday showing palestinians chasing after climbing onto moving a trucks at the rasa border crossing b. this looks like the picture of desperation. how would you describe the current situation on the ground in god's i'd like to if you permit me, read a quote from my brother in law who i spoke to yesterday and i transcribes the conversation with him. if i may, ok, as we say, a point of complete exhaustion, there's simply nothing to eat, even if the war were to stop right now. it almost feels meaningless. life itself is meaningless. where like the walking dead is devoid of life. 8 is scars where i'm staying now. we have nothing, no food, no electricity, no water. the effort to find and break. what for fire, just to eat, something is back, breaking even basic needs like using the bathroom. that becomes a challenge without water. the relentless task with maintaining

a fire is the most draining thing. i've been using garlic clothes to treat my fever and smoke because medicine is nowhere to be found. the constant fuss of the drones is unbearable. you don't understand it. east of my bones. it's so loud, constantly interrupting sleep and conversation. yes, we find ways to cope. we, we joke and we saying, we still have hope, but we need to conserve energy of what comes next. you know what they say the after party push for lady from box and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and to share the thoughts as well as others about the situation on the ground there in gaza. thank you. thank you. us defense secretary lloyd austin says that he will can be the meeting on tuesday in response to a tax by food the rebels on ships in the red sea. and he says, an international coalition is being built to address the issue, the who the rebel group is based in human and is backed by your wrong it has

attacked and seized several ships in the red sea since early october saying that they were quote, linked to israel several major companies have halted shipping in the area and response to the thread that has also caused oil prices to spike let's here's a look now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. this our basically the gyptian president of the l. c. c. has thing voters after securing a 3rd term in office, he received almost 90 percent of the vote in last week's election, which was overshadowed by the war in gaza and a severe domestic economic crisis. critics, a 10 year long crack down on descent has eliminated any serious opposition. hong kong media mogul and pro democracy activism, jimmy lie has gone on trial, is accused of conspiring with foreign forces under a strict security law imposed by b. g. whites groups are calling for the charge is to be dropped and say that his trial is an attack on press freedom. but frances has given formal approval for

priest to bless. same sex couples. any document released by the vatican. francis suggested such blessings could be offered as long as they do not confuse the ritual with the sacrament of heterosexual marriage. it said priest should decide on a case by case basis. it is a blistering indictment to a team of international observers. it says that certainly as a snap elections were anything but fair. the organization for security and cooperation in europe is alleging media bias. vote buying and ballot. box stuffing for luminary results shows the populist serbian progressive party led by president alexander of which 146.7 percent of the boat. that's almost twice as much as the 2nd placed opposition alliance. serbia against violence. opposition. supporters of

gathering bilbry to protest against these election results. with these protests already underway in belgrade, our brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena. she is, they are, she gave me this update. yeah, we are in the center of the live election committee and the people and maybe all the time rahman martin could show you're a bit around the people that you see around are those. so there are supporters and members of the pro western opposition. united under the name servers against violence, and there are here because there are saying not accepting those resolves, they think that b l, the victory at these in bellevue, i was stolen from them. and that is why there are here, and they demand from the election commission to cancel the resolve. there are no, it's okay with what's happened. they think they should have one kid in belgrade and

the you have spoken to members of the o. s and see um what, what did they tell you what exactly did they observe that leads them to say that this election was stolen? slow. one of them told me that he personally observed bell duck stuffing. he saw fake ballads and being stuff in the bela dogs and he so that he said that he could tell that they were fake because they are, they were printed on a different kind of paper and they still had the official them. and we heard a lot of those such reports with people being intimidated, being threatened with losing their job. if they don't vote for the ruling party, there are also reports about people who were brought in boxes and then to the city of belgrade from outside the country. 40000 new ideas were issued according

to the opposition. so the european election of service, they were sort of diplomatic saying that they can only observe, it's not up to them to make any assessment assessments or to call for the cancellation of the votes. but the independence or the of service of the legs are more outspoken. at least saying that what's happened to you in belgrade? the official results in bells rates do not represent the will of the people. alexander, you could be standing and, and what is the middle of europe's latest political powder keg? what can we expect to happen next? realistically, well of course i ask people here whether they believe that anything can change by them taking students read some uh, are helpful. other are saying we need more radical means to bring about a change in serve. yeah, some are said,

the european union needs to put more pressure on president bush's and he's government. but of course, the you opinions are afraid that in that case, he could turn more it towards a russia and then russia could get even more influence here. then they already have definitely a valuable situation. we know that you will keep us up to date on what's happening, dw, both of your chief alexander for now i remember the latest from bell rate, serbia. tonight's alexandra, thank north korea has fired another intercontinental ballistic missile. the 2nd in the span of 24 hours, japan says the missile has the potential to reach japan or the united states, a recent increase in missile test by piano. jane has led to a warning from washington that any attack from north korea would bring an end to kim john owns regime dw, east asia correspondent, james trader reports or into continental ballistic miss silo

icbm rockets against the sky as above north korea. earlier this year, south korea's already described as a grave provocation film young's launch of a suspected similar icbm on monday. it's 5th this year. japan says the southern fuel miss so has the potential range of 15000 kilometers is far enough to hit any way on us territory. this is where the latest north korean missile flew. the icbm was launched from nape showing young reach me at altitude of 6000 kilometers. it landed 17 minutes later about 1000 kilometers away invoices, east of north korea, just outside of japan's exclusive economic zone. tokyo and washington have condemned appealing instructions. a course that we go to. yeah. but that we strongly condemn these actions which are in clear violation of un security council or by solutions on press and peace and stability in the region to. oh,

cool. yeah. well either dozens, china, north korea's, i'm the official, i didn't criticize bronx don't say no need that the situation on the korean peninsula was complex. sure to attempt to solve the problem through military to terrance and pressure will not work and people finally back fire further intensify and contradictions and intensified tensions. feel young so so quotable moves, why washington? with a reason forward, slower. i mean, the growing north korean threats the us south, korea and japan have accelerated military cooperation in recent months. a us new to a pod submarine arrived in south korea on sundays and all that straightening already fractious ties. they smell cream sauce, letting those last month look to south korea withdrawing from pods of imagery packed ange, it's easing tensions. but north korea withdrew from the agreement, complete the still images appear to sharp, show me young bolstering it submitted to your presence at southern boulder since

now with the latest icbm noise. and that's the one in the side of stability on the career. and then my next guest is edward howell. he's a lecturer in politics at the university of oxford in england. he's also author of the book, north korea, and the global nuclear order. mr. howell is good to have you with this, let me ask you to start with what do you think north korea is trying to tell the world with all of these missile tests? thank you very much. um and the, and i think the 22 messages here, the 1st of all be especially used to live in the case of john young. but it conducting an assault on kid. it is also as a signal to the old once he's in the deep. okay. the, the missile systems function as intended to and secondly, there is a very clear into enough to message being sent to the us. and of course the

software as well as part of that north korea's nuclear misspelled baby turns on now, not just on vision to say all the oddities on the mean stream b. c. yeah. and it is not going to come to the negotiation table anytime soon, because the nose thought it is a default to new york state. so you're saying that you buying what we're hearing from japan and south korea, that display dismissal test was an icbm missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead anywhere inside the continental united states. yeah, i mean this is not the 1st time we've seen the launch an icbm and we'll see the 1st launch. we need to come to this to me. so most of the 20176 years ago. and since then, i'm human law jim, both of you this year we can see is the law school is, has expanded both to school,

but also to sophisticate kind of a student reach system. and also the type of s t o of missiles available. and it's all know she's pretty consistent with most of these phone plastic policy qualities. and this was incorrect, outlined by kim and is you say that north korea sending the message particularly to the united states, that the us is now dealing with a nuclear power? or are you saying that young yang has mastered the technology completely. now, not only of a nuclear weapon, but being able to deliver a nuclear weapon on top of a missile. we don't know for sure. it would be coming from a to some kind of us in the, um, the no go ahead cuz the most. oh, do know what the evidence is telling us isn't not clear. i'm going down. this lute

pump the rapid pace. and we noticed 1st you to test way back in 2006 physics films expert. and since then, its capabilities and its ability to pursue the tape for the teeth has its positive cause for concern. we know that showing the is north korea's most important. what if it's only allies, to what extent does beijing support or perhaps encourage young gigs missile tests as well as it's more rhetoric? yes. so i, you know, trying to just the line coming in. you'd see on stage one it's pulled up, but it's back to the new to the to see some common conflict. i'm direct complaint on the clean page to we put into that teen volt, trying to my very trying is made out to you with no spare is debility, an old, a lot of kale,

some of the peninsula of to know like company. and you can home neighbor, i think china is still willing to support no split, provide it to know me is to, to has no school if a sanctions, if the so maintains the states, quotes the ability everett, how, with joining us in the university of oxford, mr. howell, we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. and what would your but he says it had signed a historic agreement to deploy troops. in lithuania, it will be the 1st time the german bonus, fer soldiers are permanently stationed outside of the countries on boarders, german defense minister of boers victorious says that germany is ready to defend nato territory. historic signature germany lithuania, signed a roadmap for the deployment of a german bonus, february gate to the baltic country. for the 1st time since world war 2,
