6:00 pm
[000:00:00;00] the, this is the, the news line from by the un security council for pass for a new votes on the fighting and gaza. the us repeats it's cold too, as well, to scale back to it's offensive and made growing international pressure over the number of civilians can also on the program, a new international falls to protect shipping in the red sea from attached by humans cruelty levels. we look at the groups motive so well that campaign could mean for the wide range of more than a 100 people,
6:01 pm
happy tell them it's possible us. great. in china, thousands of homes of the damage to rescue team scrambled to reach the virus in a cold and mountainous region. iceland, vic volcano involved? she was involved in the weeks of seismic activity. if prompted, must evacuations? the i'm showing a welcome to the program. the un security council is expected to vote soon on resolution. quoting for a pause in fighting in gaza is isaac had subdivision and says this country is ready for another humanitarian pause to allow a m and for the release of hostages, that has been no less up in these right of the offensive. despite the deepening humanitarian crisis. and drug international calls for an end to the violence u. s. has previously
6:02 pm
a visa of several of the security council resolutions calling for and josh, tennessee, state correspondent, rebecca riches in jerusalem. welcome, rebecca. if it's miles, president, tat, so says these countries ready for another humanitarian pause people up onto hospital. why is the fighting continuing as well? so i can only assume that the funding is continuing because israel hasn't met it's military aims yet. those military aims of eliminating a mazda it is. so it is promise, it is going to continue until those aims mets. and we know that, of course, the fighting. we did say the fighting stopped for several days full that temporary say side to allow for the exchange of hostages. but those negotiations broke down. and since then the negotiations haven't been going on. as you rightly mentioned, there is riley's israel prizes rouse presidents. i've heard so has said that israel would be willing, ready to go back to the negotiating table and over the weekend and will report that
6:03 pm
is ready to go see a to is and could, towering, negotiate has met in no way to discuss the resumption of those talks and that that will continue with say, we us defense secretary lloyd austin now in cuts. how also trying to, to get those tools back up and running, but so far they haven't begun. and we've heard from the other side that has to be somebody to negotiate with in her mouth saying that they're not willing to come to the negotiating table until there's a complete si size. so at the moment those talks stalled and not looking to resume any time soon, but we know that in the past they were also from both sides, saying that they weren't going to join the talks. and in the end they did. and they were successful in getting out more than $100.00 hostages and releasing also some palestinian prisoners and seeing a pause in that fighting. so the hype still remains that that will continue again. so, but at the moment we're just saying the fighting continue. so if no pause and fighting
6:04 pm
is israel likely to scale back ups ground defensive as the united states has been calling for? it would suddenly say no sign of that or any even indication from israel that they're willing to do that. we know that the fighting continues when not international generalists are not on the ground. we're not able to see exactly what is going on. we have to take accounts, media accounts from, from the, from the ground, from local reporters. and also what we're hearing from the is right, the military. and from all accounts the fighting continues. we know that a strikes, it kills a is a 13 people in a striking devali attempt that's in the renewal of the strip. we also know the 28 palestinians were killed in the south in an s strike and the hospital in the north was also rated by ground troops. we know that the ground operation continues. so definitely, you know, look of a lead out. but as you mentioned, the us are really pushing for israel to move to another phase of this will
6:05 pm
a less intensive phase, as they call it, they really are urging israel to try to diminish the civilian casualties, to diminish the amount of palestinians. but at the time, we know that the death toll is nearly at $20000.00. so, you know, to huge amount of people dying in the effort to eliminate him, us. and to us really pushing for israel to look towards a more targeted approach to try and put in small specialize teams that will go into the cities and, and target specifically, how much late is and rebecca at the base ready on big guy says he is suspended several of his of assess, draw a video showing the mocking palestinian detainees was circulated online. what more can you tell us? this was not the 1st video of its kind that we've seen circulating phil since the beginning of this war. there has been numerous videos of idea of brutality, an idea of humiliation that has been circulated often times on. the soldiers own social media accounts that they're actually of you know,
6:06 pm
like presenting this themselves on this occasion. and we've seen all in other occasions earlier in the week, also engineering that was sold as the went into the mosque engineering and embassy hanukkah songs over the lounge because they were also reprimanded and taken out of a service that the situation is being investigated. and this, this new video that has a much showing of the idea of sol just sitting there. we've got some palestinians bound and blindfolded on the ground smoking. she cher and eating chips and laughing about what they hope for gaza, of that is the latest video to cause an uproar. and as you rightly mentioned, that the idea of have they are investigating this situation. and they told they to believe that the behavior of those soldiers image videos is deplorable. and they said that it stands in stark contrast to contrast to the values of the i d, f. these riley military. and that there will be a discipline rehearing and the result you, the soldiers that were on that were in that video was suspended until further
6:07 pm
notice. so they definitely at least trying to take these accounts very, very seriously. but we don't know exactly what will happen to the soldiers, whether the, whether they really will be a major investigation or whether they sort of present some kind of culture within the as rarely military that they're sort of tacitly allowing this. but certainly these incidents is all being investigated and, and the soldiers being potentially punished for these act. thanks about rebecca rebecca rich as interested in a but i must run house ministry and gaza says more than 19000 people have been killed in the war with israel. while the independently verified the figure, it is difficult to you and says civilian casualties unprecedented on next report contains some distressing images. counting the dead and already gruesome job made almost impossible, but on the ground fighting the relentless bombardment just as rarely forces in the
6:08 pm
shape tales of we'll have a sense of all that targets in children. as you can see. that's what happened to me . south from f sixteens overheating, little children's, all part of the value of the human total of the fighting itself and conveyed by witnesses and by over what conduct is repeated. blackouts mean social media is sometimes the only way to give updates. no longer able to provide surgeries at all the hospital. the hospital does no effectively a 1st aid station. hundreds of wounded now is hospitable. with no access to surgery, they will die from the woods. an official total of casualties is being kept by the palestinian health ministry and gaza. it's the latest update, said israel as offensive,
6:09 pm
has killed more than $19000.00 palestinians. the have mass run, ministry doesn't differentiate between civilians and competence. bought has said that most of those killed women and children secretary general for this in the united nations has backed this claim question despite the united verification challenges. and what he's cleared is that we have ads in a few weeks, thousands of children killed. so these is what mets us, we are with the sing, a killing of civilians. that is, and that allows an end, but it's a dentist in any conflict since i am sick that is yellow. no chance included in the official desk told all the thousands of people who are missing that pulled up and see it's dead under the rubble. when, if they are recovered,
6:10 pm
officials and gonzo will have to figure out where to bury them. salmon trays are either full or inaccessible because of fighting and on the number of bodies has been buried in mass graves. let's pick up some of those points with margaret harris or speaks for the lens well health organization. she joins us from geneva, a welcome back to d, w. whatever i speak to the spokes people for these right in the military and talk to them about casualty, because i always turn around to me and say, well you comp trust those vegas because that compiled by how much and how much obviously run garza so how reliable are those casualty figures, do you believe is there anything there in under estimate cause at the moment and the way casualties, especially this account is, are you searching for somebody? did you count the paper in the bulk of the most or in hospitals?
6:11 pm
we've already got 7 or 8 hospitals functioning in any shape or form at the moment. so if anything, what we're hearing is an under estimate. now interestingly, there was a study done in the last a published in the last that a couple of weeks ago, not done by w h o d u n, or anybody else, but by the me only just to looked at the numbers in the 1st few weeks so these hostilities and compared them with the previous year, and they indicated that they were very confident that what was being reported was very accurate. right? we've heard the un secretary general describing the civilian death, told us unprecedented on power of out ah, how does it come to those conclusions, given that the best thing is published by how mass don't distinguish between civilians and $0.05. so again, the numbers we're looking at the you also look at who died and how well they were
6:12 pm
70 percent of them, of women and children. we've got something like say 8000 children killed now, and the hospitals are full of into children. now, in some parts of the world, there are so things of child soldiers, but these are not so i'm just, these are not combatants. these are children, desperately sheltering from both above mountain that's occurring throughout the ghosts of streets and who are being who are being killed or mutilated. or you told a press conference today that's it was beyond belief that the world is allowing what's happening in gaza to continue most the world has been calling for a say find the security council will do. so again, today, what more do you believe the world should have done or should be doing now, as they should have stopped the hostilities? i should look at what has led to this horrible situation as indeed across it to
6:13 pm
your code on october 7, something that was entirely unacceptable at. but the world we all should have been better and able to come in and deal with that. and it shows that those hostages could be released. i mean, it's still terrible that there are many, many hostages, and the families of those hostages. wondering what's happened to them. some of them have died in the hostilities. there was much, much, much more that should have been done by negotiation, not through violence. and so what do you believe and why it didn't happen? that is so much should have been done. why wasn't that done deepening? well, i'm a doctor and i, i low cost to help. so my role is to look at how we can achieve the highest level of health. and violence is absolutely concrete to that. i'm not an expert on political negotiation. i'm not expect an expert on international relations. i leave
6:14 pm
that to the experts. but currently, our international system is failing in the study failing intensive health because we're seeing is terrible. loss is terrible injuries. if those children who have lost them liam's, they have their own skills, but survives their injuries. they're going to be disabled for life. and so we have, we are creating a generation of very deeply, deeply homes, people. and that is not something we as the world can afford to have happen to margaret house for the world health organization. thank you so much for joining. thank you for having me as well. the rest as and as the creation of a joint task force to help protect ships traveling through one of the world's most important maritime trade routes. several major companies have halted shipping through the red sea following an increase in the task by who will see a fight as a from yemen. the root connex trade between asia and europe for consumer goods and
6:15 pm
commodities like orland liquefied natural natural gas medicine. so backed by iran have attacked and seen several ships in the red sea since october climbing the vessels with linked to israel. well, that's a new task force will include warships from several countries. general lloyd to austin, us defense, secretary said it was needed to safe gone global try these attacks or reckless dangerous. and they violate international law. and so we're taking action to build an international coalition to address this threat. and i would remind you that this is not just a us issue is this is an international problem, and it deserves international response. well, him and susie rebels be honest, the attack shifting in the rack reb city weeks ago. and this report, we look at their motives and what their involvement in the conflict between israel
6:16 pm
and how much could make for the wider region. msc rebels have an impressed with weapons also know at the disposal and the using it to target israel . the around back group says it's followed a series of drawings and missiles towards israel with the stated aim of helping the palestinians to victory another front and the world they swayed into the red sea. susie militants had threatened to escalate military action if the november truce between israel and her mouth didn't hold. the talk to the forces are fully ready and prepared to resume military operations against the is really enemy, if it decides to resume its aggression against gospel of us. and i thought i'd love to hear all that was our forces will not hesitate to expand military operations against it is really entity to include unexpected targets on land. or he says,
6:17 pm
i've seen the buy they made good on that front. and the last 4 weeks he's e militants, have use drains and on to ship myself to attack vessels in the red sea. and in one case used to helicopter to seize a call, the best so with ties to israel through it's 25 international crew members. are still being held hostage and young and the who sees a part of the circle accessible for assistance. this as an alliance of groups and syria lab and on gaza and a rock which was supported by iran and a post israel. and the us iran has been accused of and training and funding that he sees. but the rebel group denies. it's an a rainy and proxy the who sees control much of the north of him and including the capital sign up. they've been fighting a civil war for almost a decade,
6:18 pm
against the internationally recognized government, backed by saudi arabia. if the rebel group keeps up, it's a tax on israel. the rest is re yet could be drawn into the conflict to estimate sounds, lounge from yemen to bullets israel pots for saudi space. that's on top of the worries that the rebels attacks and the red sea could open a new see it or full in a vital autry of the global economy. let's pick this up with mentally established asha l copy coast research associates and instructor at harvard university. welcome to the w. so when, who sees a top vessels in the red sea? this looks like this is not necessarily about piracy because they're not interested in seizing a ship for its monetary value. they're not interested in seizing a ship for its political value. they're merely looking for propaganda victories on
6:19 pm
the red sea in order to show up their own position within human rights. so they, they seem to ship to just talk us through about how does a benefit them so after 2014, the what the seized the capital city of santa they for a long war, a civil war against the saudi backed internationally recognized government as late as october, 6th of 2023, it seemed as if the saudis and includes these were on the verge of signing a piece of court because these were negotiated from the position of weakness. october 7th, presented it with these with an opportunity to both focus on an external enemy rather than on their own humanitarian crisis, but then human, and also is an opportunity to shore up their own local support amongst you minis. bye for train themselves as fighters against israel against an external enemy. and
6:20 pm
so is that affordable connection will link between these who would fees and thomas or are they just facing the same enemy? or the link is really seeing between iran come us has but all $3.00 of these organizations are being funded or being armed in are also are being led by a general feeling or a general come rhetoric as being part of the larger or rainy and vision for the middle east, one that has been towards creating instability within the middle east and also creating a degree of chaos that really plays into the reigning national and regional strategy of creating instability within the middle east. ok, so now we have the assembly of this new s lead a task force. what difference do you think that is likely to make so this is
6:21 pm
not the 1st time that the red sea has been. the southern red say specifically has been the target of both piracy and instability, especially related to the conflict with israel since the 1950s. the southern red sea has been a location of instability. it's been also sources that challenges to the navigation as a freedom of navigation. so this is not an old story. neither is this an old story within the policies themselves. when things are taken numerous opportunities, the militants to a tech savvy shipping in 2015 and 16 and to continuously threaten shipping through the southern red sea. this is merely another case, or another example of an opportunity that, that with these have taken to a hold uh that by the month of hostage in some ways to, uh, global commerce and to global shipping. okay, so the, this new coalition has come together. i can find a defensive work and sit with these limits,
6:22 pm
the ability to actually target the ships going through the red sea and ultimately actually plays into what the, what these want from this entire episode is international attention. local legitimacy and for train themselves is exactly, is there slogan, says most of them are, you come out of this that i am just to america just to answer all the ones that are trained themselves in warriors against the west. and that's precisely what this international coalition is, giving them on a silver platter. thank you so much for uh, guidance through that. so clearly it may, at least i'm just actually a copy from the university watching dw use live from above. then here's a look at some of the other headlines that making use around the world. a. jenna cortez sentenced an assignment. state support has a life in prison over to staffing a tax in the western city of dues. but one person was killed in the april attacks, and several of his injured silence made a comprehensive confession during
6:23 pm
a trial. last month 14 poland has found 14 citizens of the russian batteries and you try a guilty of spying from moscow. i was charged with acts of espionage, including planning to de rail trains, cutting a t. okay. the defendants were convicted in the absence of to or pleaded guilty and skipped tries to the texas government regardless, as approved a new bill that will give police as why the powers to arrest migrants illegally cross the us board. but also empowers judges toward the people to leave america. the legislation is profit drive to tighten immigration laws and or that's a china model. so i'll just say more than a 120 people have been killed and hundreds more injured in an earthquake. the magnitude $6.00 events struck me of the northwestern cities. i've seen nothing long as you offer it to conditions a complicating rescue reference with temperatures dropping below minus 10 degrees
6:24 pm
celsius. people enjoying and late evening meal in china is north west. then the, this is the scale of the damage caused by that says, quaking china is guns who is in high provinces, thousands of homes in time neighborhoods reduced to rubble is owned by the 6.2. my can choose from the struck late on monday night school take media said both the ends. electricity infrastructure was so tom, it was a chinese president. she can ping has audited in or out the search and rescue efforts in the mounts in this area. to find people still trapped under rubble and i see temperatures in shanghai province have recently blanketed the region in snow and temperatures. when the quake hits on monday night to a well below freezing punishing conditions, now making complicated rescue efforts even more difficult, denser, wincing high. i used to ask quakes on average. maybe 30 term is of magnitude for
6:25 pm
more hits the region each year. that will store among the least develop regions in china against who has the lowest g d. p per capita of any province in the country. or thirty's, of want of more of to sharply. and at least 2 with magnitude, 4 or higher might have been recorded. same, that's the main quake to $38.00 and off within the so that's what i mean. a lot of volcano in iceland is throwing lava more than a 100 meters into the air. with our twos were prepared for the interruption near the town of glen the week after weeks of seismic activity, hours, and businesses and the country's most populous region has been evacuated. but the scale of the russian did take scientist by surprise. the claims of smoke and lava on the rate can is peninsula in iceland following weeks of intense quakes to arrest in the nearby town of green. the vic looked on having just seeing lava emerged from the ground even if it's it, in
6:26 pm
a particular confidence such as this is just fascinating and see just nature inaction. i just, it's just like some of the fun movie. a spectacle for some below enforcement in the area is making show people in this town stay safe. now, there's a rupture near near grant that we and we have cleared the town and the area. and now we're just securing the area in closing every road to the area. and that's just in process. no. but then we're just trying to manage the situation here. my sons coast guard as i'm highlights that release this for to adjust it. so phase dependency led to determine the exact size of the russian. iceland is no stranger to volcanoes. it currently has $33.00 active erections.
6:27 pm
that's the highest number in europe. though familiar, this seems to be a few 100 cubic meters per 2nd. this is quite a bit more than the interruption seen on the bench to live until now, which are quite small in the beginning. but the scientists say it is still unclear how long this one will go on for as i said, show up today, it's all i'm doing well. there's at the top of the hour i'm motoring. show drive is next heading to the race track of good
