on the this is dw news life from bell in the un security council prepared for a new vote on the finding and guns at the us. again, just these rails of scale back it's offensive as international pressure pros, over the number of civilian scale. evans, who if you babbled, step out the tax on ships they say are linked to israel with the goods, the groups, motives. and what that campaigned in the red sea could mean for the wind to region more than a 100 people days in a powerful us quite in china. thousands of homes of damaged rescue team scramble to reach the volume is in a cold and mountainous region. and,
5:01 pm
and i explained it volcano, where rocks shooting lava into the week subsides began. tibits of comes to mass evacuation the i've been presented and welcome. the un security council is expected to vote soon on a new resolution for guns and initial draft code for an urgent and lasting cessation of hostilities to allow unimpeded access of humanitarian aid. negotiators are now working on a compromise acceptable to the us, the bite and administration blocked a resolution calling for a ceasefire. earlier this month. me, well, how about us officials say at least 20 people have been killed in when you design the strengths of the southern city of bravo. several countries including germany, classifying homeless as a terrorist organization. the entire buildings reduced to
5:02 pm
rubble and rough uh many civilians were killed in the strike despite the cities these like nation as a safe sun by israel i survive uphold from the rubble moons, her youngest sister, and see she narrowly escaped dave himself. but the collapse towards me there was maybe just an inch left between me and the wall. i held it, but it was so heavy. i started screaming for help hoping someone anyone could hear me. no. you smell after being freed from the rubble, another palestinian woman has taken to l. no. so hospital where she consults, surviving family members, wrapped in white of the bodies of her 2 grandchildren. we were
5:03 pm
sleeping safely in our home. there's a kids, kids in us, women, there was no one else. beautiful alone and my 2 grand kids were killed. a mirror here. she was just 2 weeks old line. her bus wasn't even registered yet. my mom has to have. she doesn't even have a birth certificate until we, i mean we don't, we, on the palestinians here say they at least to do with the insufferable pain of loss alone. it was a situation for civilians in guns at the terminal rates. the un security council is to vote on a resolution asking for some sort of troops. let's bring it out, correspond janelle, to milan in washington. you know, we hear the votes being postponed. what's the struggle here for negotiate as well? it's actually negotiators are trying to find language that would get the united
5:04 pm
states to stop vetoing cease fire resolutions for gaza. now if you recall earlier this month, so united states did just that it voted down as he's fire resolution that other un security council numbers overwhelmingly supported. the u. s. has consistently argued that a ceasefire only benefits from us. however, what's different this time around is that the white house has indicated that while it can't support a reference in the draft resolution to a cessation of hostilities, it might be able to support a reference to the suspension of hostilities. so according to diplomatic source, is the current draft that being negotiated right now has both phrases. so it calls for the urgent suspension of hostility, so weak or language like the u. s. wanted but also for urgent steps towards the cessation of hostilities, one before the other. so to say, however,
5:05 pm
it has to be said that this current draft are being negotiated now. still does not contain and explicit reference condemning her boss for its actions on october 7th. rather, it condemns terrorism acts more generally, and that is a language that the u. s. has wanted to see and it very well might end up vetoing this resolution this time around. and yet again, because of that. okay, so it sounds like this one's dead in the water before it even got to get voted on as well. we don't know for sure, but what we do know is that the messaging around israel still remains at one of unshakable support. in fact, taught us secretary of defense lloyd austin, was just the bear and israel reiterating that message. but the very fact that the white house has said that it might be moved from its position to consider weaker
5:06 pm
language weak or though as it is, is already somewhat of a very slow shift in its position. and that in turn could reflect growing in patients with israel. now pressure, of course, is growing on the bite in administration to do more to push israel to law protects civilians. we know that there was a pole for example, that came out today saying that us voters brought the disapprove of how biden has been handling the war in the middle east. but of course uh, as the death toll approaches $20000.00 and gaza, according to the home us run health industry, it's becoming quite clear that taught us or jane perhaps isn't doing that much to yield results. and it is very easy to imagine washington looking at all the ways that it could put pressure on israel to get it to do more to protect civilians. whether that is via un resolutions or even something else. completely like,
5:07 pm
for example, attaching aid to the current conditions rather to the aid that it sends to israel, that's likely to become a prominent discussion pointing to in the week. so the longer in the, in the coming weeks, the longer this goes on what the correspond. janelle do, malone, and thanks for the analysis, as well, the united states as announced the creation of a joint task force to help protect ships traveling for one of the world's most important maritime trade routes. several major companies have halted shipping for the red sea following an increase in attacks by hooting functions from yemen. the root connex trade between asia and europe for consumer goods and commodities like oil and liquefied natural gas, which the militants who have backed by a run have attacked and see several ships in the red sea since october, claiming that the vessel's blood linked to israel. us defense secretary lloyd austin has condemned the attacks. all countries have the right to move freely

unlawfully in international orders. but that foundational global right is under new threat today from but totally unacceptable. attacks on merchant vessels by the who t's and you haven't, that's endangering our common prosperity in the lives of innocent mariners. and these regulatory attacks are a serious international problem. and they demand of fund international response. humans hudy's samples began attacking shipping in the red sea weeks ago. in this report, we look at the motives and what their involvement in the conflict between israel and thomas could mean for the one to reach a young man who's the rebels. have an impressed with weapons also know at the disposal and the using it to target israel. the around back
