in 90 minutes on d w, the, this is data, but the news lot from the coming up, the sound mounting, international pressure on these rout leveretts' attacks on causes us defense secretary on monday i met with prime minister opinion and y'all to intelligence. he says us support as well as on the cycle and he's also pushing is riley leaders to outline in the future for gaza. often also coming up international observers sites . so it'd be a snap election was anything but fit. a monitoring mission has reported multiple

irregularities in the presidents, alexander, fluid churches, sylvia and progressive party. and germany's military announces it will be stationing some of the $5000.00 troops outside of time for the same with you, any part of the deal. but gemini is defense minister, as described as historic, the, i'm anthony out book into the program. we begin with increasing international costs is route scale back. it's assault on gaza. that includes from its closest ally, the us, us defense secretary lloyd austin was in television today to talk to his riley that it is about how they could better protect civilians in the war against a massive group considered a terrorist organization by numerous countries, according to the last run, health ministry, the death toll and johnson as nasa pos, no,

19400 palestinians. shocked and in grief. these people in god saw sentenced to be updated by the more and the loss of their loved ones. and as in many of the past astride he strikes many of those who are 2, he seems like these are increasing pressure and is trying to predict civilians. according of accord at the us defense secretary lloyd austin, texting 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. integration is strange, fav. it is targeting how much militants, but the fighting has led to one of the worst humanitarian crisis ever in garza.

food and clean water has become scarce for the strips over 2000000 people. and according to the un, 90 percent of the population has been displaced. the one i brought some more to some a neighbor over the i brought the volta and we needed to we don't have a single job. hello to left. there was nothing a tool laser. when i went to the head of the you went, agency for palestinian refugees has worn the coffins, could start dying of hunger disease and beat immunity along with the eat and drink because that's what the crossing drugs have also started entering from is trying to be accurate i'm showing that the u. n. c's, but conditions on the ground on suitable for delivering humanitarian supplies. many see a horse and fighting. that's the only solution and there to go. that's now being

a good by many of 5th strains realize the un security council as postponed to vote on a safe 5 resolution until later on tuesday, the deputies janelle jamila and told me earlier, why the spain did light as well. the un security council has postpone the vote on the request of the united arab emirates, the u. i. e, of course, is the one who introduced this draft resolution calling for an urgent cessation of hostilities in gaza. and apparently this has now happened in order to give the negotiating parties more room to compromise on the wording of the draft resolution . so especially if a u. s. has taken issue with the fact that in the draft it doesn't uh, specifically condemn moss for its actions on october 7th. rather, it condemns terrorist acts more generally and calls for the release of the hostages . but here's the interesting part. so the us has said that it can to support

a reference to the cessation of hostilities, but it might be amenable to a reference on a, in the wording a reference to a suspension of hostilities. and that's interesting because it represents a slow shift, perhaps in the position of the us. if we recall earlier this month, it blocked a similar resolution perhaps. now if it is going to support us as references to suspension in our studies, it might mean that it's days of simply vetoing the resolutions are over. and in the broader picture, it could be a reflection of a growing and patience with the israeli government. as the biden administration tries to put more pressure on israel to do more to protect civilians. but as i said earlier, as a, the death toll approaches 20000 according to the home us run health industry, that pressure appears to be very, very little fruit. the us defense secretary,

a janelle lloyd austin, visited israel and stated quite that american support for israel. israel security is unshakable. that's putting the messaging all along. so what is lloyd austin achieved on this visit? so it really does seem like washington is trying to send a layered message to israel. here you do have that surface message of unshakable support to israel. but the nice of that surface message is the expectation that the u. s. as is relevant, biggest defense and diplomatic back or that it expects to be listened to. so lord austin, while he was in israel, he reiterated his message about protecting civilians is a moral and strategic imperative. at the same time, his talks with his rarely officials focused on how to scale back is really operations away from heavy aerial bombardment away from the heavy ground operation

into gaza into something much more targeted and narrow intelligence driven aimed specifically at homeless leaders. but it is unclear how much is ro is taking on, is taking on board at the moment. it is not clear whether israel and the u. s. are on the same page with regard to how to prosecute this more with regard to the way forward for gaza and the associated timelines. however, given all of that, even as the pressure on the biden administration mounts to push israel to do more in the face of these mounting casualties, to do more, to protect these casualties. there's, there's still seems to be very little appetite in washington to attach conditions on the aid that is something to israel. but the longer this goes on, the more prominent discussion point of that is going to be here. the deputy is janelle de la in dc. thanks very much. i of the us as announced the

creation of an allied, the task force in response to attacks by hoody rebels on ships in the red sea. the international force will conduct joint patrols and provide intelligence to protect ships from attacks by the human vice rebels. since october, the who the rebel group is attacked and seized multiple ships that it says uh, quite linked to is right. several major companies have halted shipping in the area in response to the threat, which is also caused oil prices to spot right. time to take a look at some of the, of the headlines making use around the world. this how trying to estate maybe a say a powerful earthquake is killed, the 110 people in the countries northwest. local officials say almost 400 people at the injured rescue. if it's a on going off of the quite collapsed buildings and then old in provinces of kent 2 and king high officials have warranted locals to be wary of potential aftershocks
