to the this is the, the, the news life from time and the un security council, 6, a compromise to help the fighting and gaza as the u. s. repeats. it's cool to israel, the scale factor. it's offensive made growth. international pressure over the number of civilians can also, in this program, new international falls to protect shipping in the red sea from the gambling site to the rebels. we look at the militant motives, someone that campaign could mean for the wider reach the

i'm feel welcome to the program. the un security council is trying to reach a compromise to pause the financing and gaza. a vote is expected shortly. an initial draft resolution cold for an urgent and lasting cessation of hostilities to allow the names to access a few amount of town in a be go safe is an are seeking a compromise acceptable to the u. s. which has blocked previous calls for ccr. international pressure on israel to and hostilities has grown this gauze and faces that deepening humanitarian crisis. correspondent, janelle, do. malone joins us from washington a welcome. janelle, why does this vote keep guessing? fishbock? as indeed now this vote has been pro postponed from yesterday to this morning to noon to mid afternoon now too late after noon eastern

time. it might not be the last to postpone into hard to tell at this stage. but essentially, negotiators are looking for language that would keep us from vetoing a cease fire resolution and gaza. now if you recall earlier this month, the u. s. did adjust that at vetoed a resolution. in contrast to the other un security council members who over whelming, we supported the resolution, but the u. s. position has always been that a cease fire only helps him off. however, this time around, although the white has house has said that it can't support any reference to a cessation of hostilities, it has a pushed for water down language calling for the suspension of hostilities. now this latest draft, the resolution that was made available, had both phrases in it. so 1st that called for the urgent suspension of hostilities and then urgent steps to be taken towards the sustain cessation of hostilities. but

this word, secession. it remains a sticking point for us negotiators. another sticking point is that the u. s. wants to see text in the resolution, specifically condemning home us for its actions on october 7th. the tex dot did not have that. it had a more general condemnation of terror, terrorist acts in the world, but especially the negotiators negotiating on the behalf of the arab states. they've said that they don't want to introduce any more changes in the draft unless the u. s. promise is not to veto and that is how we got to the waiting game that we find ourselves in now. right? and so the, the, we have sides of that seem quite the game and the us being the hold. what are the chances that the us will vote in favor of something in the end as well, the protracted nature of these negotiations kind of make it hard to tell. on the

one hand, as you say, it shows that there's a really big gap to bridge between, especially the are of negotiators and the us legal shaders. on the other hand, the fact that they are talking, and it's taking this long, that could also mean that the us is willing to negotiate, at least on some points. remember that in the u. s. has options here aren't limited to voting in favor or vetoing the us could also abstain. and because you only need 9 votes and no vetoes for the resolution to pass, that would then be a scenario where this resolution passes and just the fact that the u. s. has indicated a little bit of flexibility now with regard to the language is already thought already represents some movement from its previously very, very tightly held position. and that in turn could reflect growing in patients with israel. let's not forget that pressure is amounting on the biden administration to

push israel to do more to protect civilians. and as the death toll and gaza approaches 20000. according to the homeless run health ministry, it's clear that you was urging isn't doing that much. and the us is now in a position where it really has to review all the options it has on the table. okay, thank you for about to now do i do? mental in washington will have a strong health ministry in gaza says at least 100 palestinians have been killed by the latest is ready as strikes in the last day. several countries including jeremy, classify him, us as a terrorist organization. the entire buildings reduced to rubble and rough uh many civilians were killed in the strike despite the cities these like nation as a safe sun by israel or a survivor pulled from the rubble

ones her youngest sister and see she narrowly escaped the herself. but the collapse towards me there was maybe just an inch left between me and the girl. i held it, but it was so heavy. i started screaming for help hoping someone anyone could hear me know. yes ma'am. after being freed from the rubble, another palestinian woman has taken to l. not the hospital where she consults, surviving family members, wrapped in white, other bodies of her 2 grandchildren. we were sleeping safely and no 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 if she doesn't even have

a birth certificate until we, i mean, we don't have the palestinians here. say they at least to deal with the insufferable pain of loss alone. correspondent rebecca, which is in jerusalem. why the fighting was continuing despite israel's president had so saying that he's country is ready for i'm not a humanitarian pulls 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 mosque that is set 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 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

soon. but at the moment, we're just seeing the fighting continue. so if no pause and fight thing is, is round 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 journalists 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 funding 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 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, just 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 is that the database, rebecca? the risk of injury. some speaking to me and let's pick up some of those points with don't. and spellman, who speaks for the idea fees, right, administrator, a welcome to dw, we just heard back from you back about the possibility of israel defense forces take campbell targeted approach. is that something you're looking at and what would that actually look like?

thank you for having me. uh, you know, some of the very beginning we've tried to be very targeted and very precise on what we're doing. what we understand is that we're dealing with perhaps the most difficult urban landscape that has been approach from a military perspective. perhaps in the world. you're dealing with very close alleyways, buildings very closely situated, actually each other and home us, which is a better themselves, a mix, those civilians and are keeping them there. and so this is an almost incredibly difficult battle for anyone to fight. certainly for the idea of the fight, and despite all of this, we are trying with our earl support together intelligence, we try to choose our munitions very carefully. we have called off numerous flights and we're open to ideas. i'll do this better. okay, so what i'm trying to get to just interrupt you that so it does not mean that i'm, you all going to proceed as carefully as you already have. or does that mean that when the us defense secretary says you can do this in

a more targeted way and even more target sidway. but he's talking nonsense as well. we're always open to ideas. certainly from our lawyer. dawson's us defense secretary is an enormous amount of experience as to the generals that are leading israel and how to be more precise when you're dealing with this type of difficult urban landscape. you know, we also heard from the defense of industry, the defense secretary spokesman toby was such as the other week. but he doesn't know if even the u. s. would take the precautions that israel staking to try to protect stability of life. i mean again, with the, the, at the end of the day, you're dealing with some us who is purposely holding these people hostage, their own civilians and putting them in the line of fire. okay. if anyone has an idea of how to do this better, we want to know because that's our goal. you say you're open to suggestions. okay, i'll tell you a show. clinton,

our comments from the rest defense secretary and your own defense minister, and then perhaps get your reaction soon we will be able to, to distinguish between different areas in a garza, he never the area where we achieve our mission. we will be able to transition gradually, the to the next phase and stop working on bringing back look up population. we also have some great thoughts about how to transition from high intensity operations to lower intensity and more surgical operations. okay, so don't and spill. then you, you, you're said most surgical operations is something you can look at, but no changes yet. let's pick up your defense minister's comments about the 1900000000 pablo statements are displaced in a job, doing a lot of, of questions. and then you can come back to me, so we have nearly 2000000 power steering is displacing dasa. does that mean that

many of the, from what we just heard from your defense minister does that mean? many of them will soon be able to return to the trouble of that former homes. the 1st of all, i want to correct something that you said, i am not saying that nothing has changed until now that i've never it. so those words, what i am saying is that we're dealing with incredibly difficult finding in an incredibly difficult, difficult, urban setting. one of the things that we've done, we've provided proof, as i mentioned earlier, is that we call off aerial attacks. specifically because we recognize that there are some buildings in that area. however, the end of the day is old as an economist, sovereign country. our 1st role is to protect as rarely civilians in order for his release of goings, to go to sleep at night. and i think the same would be true of england, germany, france, or america or any other country in the world. they would not tolerate a massive terrace entity that is calling for their destruction to exist. so almost have to be destroyed. how they're going to be destroyed in the timeframe. we are

constantly flexible costs. we're trying to learn how to do this better. none of the company as well as the good i i asked you. let's move on the cause i'd like your reaction to this lazy some video that has surfaced on social media. it shows these riley soldiers in the west bank laughing and eating snacks in the room with at least 7 detained and blindfolded palestinians. how does this video come about? what do you think of the behavior of your soldiers? the i thought you were going to play the video in lieu of playing the video. what i can tell you is that again, i would have to see the video that you're thinking about and i'll confirm video. here we go. okay, the the one in most of the quote, a mathematical, i'm always lose me,

fill out the cost of a whole lot of me and let them out a little later. so your reaction and again, i can barely see what's happening in that video and the video is unconfirmed. and i'm from what i understand you're, you're, you're perhaps trying to speak about the behavior, a variety of troops, i, the of troops. we have a very strict code of conduct, and anybody who violates that code of conduct is held up to a very high standard. i think it's extremely important to not lose sight of where we're going with this. if i, the troops don't act correctly. their representative cannot possibly liners, are told to wait till in maine is rarely civilians. they are holding right now. 120 and i is rarely hostages. i haven't heard you mentioned that as well because i'm

not sure why i'm not biased. talking darren id, therefore i really think the id i found yourself with the is the video the, the stairs rate being queuing and not even giving food to these people as opposed to as rarely, soldiers, 350000, of which what i've seen that video is really sold or sitting around with details on the ground. i don't know what to make of it. i don't know what the bank of how much terrorized i i'm if i had a spokes person from us, i would be asking them. i'm asking you because your, from the i b s a box or a video, but the idea has confirmed is genuine. you said that that as far as you can tell, this falls short of what you would expect from your soldiers, but the people would look at these notes. but this is just one of several videos and images that have the most in recent weeks showing ivy. i've sold just abusing or humiliating detained palestinians. and then last week i've yeah,

so just shot and killed just regular hostages. who will believe that that time to be waving, what a red flag on the question becomes all your soldiers out of control. again, i'm 1st of all did not say that this video represents anything because i don't know that video. it has not been confirmed by the idea, nor am i able to excited it sounds compared to that bunch to id, down around with people sitting around and the tvs on the ground. the audio soldiers are detaining, come off. terrorists who are trying to kill them at all times. and as i mentioned to you earlier, the idea has a very high level of integrity that it demands and up to 350000 soldiers who are now in reserves that were called in to reserves. this result of in direct against israeli population, if any of them are out of control or act incorrectly, they're called the task board and they are punished. however, i'm trying to find out how or we can be looking at this assumptive contrasting to

the behavior of the murders. there's really no windows, i'm not seeing any of that. so just bear with me just a moment because i thought the country actually loved to hear, we are not last co pay. very hard, contrasting anything door in a should be a look what we have to what i am doing is speaking to you as a representative of the idea about the activities of the idea. thank you so much for joining us. have a good you 2 of us has announced the creation of a joint task force to help protect ships traveling through one of the wells and most important maritime trade routes. several major companies have halted shipping through the red sea following on increasing attacks by who suffices from yemen. the route connects trade between asia and europe for consumer goods and commodities like oil and liquefied natural gas. we can build a sense of, of, backed by iran,

have attacked and see several ships in the red sea since october, claiming that the vessels were linked to israel to what we have been since you've apples begun to attack shifting and the red sea weeks ago in this next report, we looked at that motive some what the involvement in the conflict between israel on time ass could me for the wide range of yeah, 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 group says it's fired, a series of drawings and missiles towards israel with the state of the aim of helping the palestinians to victory the now the front and the world. they've waded into the red sea food. the militants had threatened to escalate military action if the november truce between israel and him, us didn't hold the money

a 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 casa the or forces will not hesitate to expand military operations against it is really entity to include unexpected targets on land or he push. i've seen the back they made good on. that's right. 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 of the who sees a part of the so called access offer existence. this as an alliance of groups and syria lab and on gaza and a rock which was supported by iran and opposed israel. and the us iran

has been accused of and training and funding the who 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, against the internationally recognized governments faxed by saudi arabia. if the rebel group keeps up, it's a tax on is ro their us is we're yet could be drawn into the conflict to estimate sounds, launch from yemen to bullets israel pots for saudi space. that's on top of worries that the rebels, the tax and the red sea could open a new cetera full in a vital autry of the global economy. literally start invest asha or coffee as a research associate. and instructor at harvard university asking what's behind the, who's the attacks and the red sea. because they're not interested in seizing

a ship for it's monetary value. they're not interested in seizing a ship for its political value. they're merely looking for propaganda victories on the red sea in order to shore 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 the who with these were on the verge of signing a piece of court. because these were negotiating 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 within human. and also has an opportunity to shore up their own local support amongst the minis. bye for train themselves as fighters against israel against an external enemy. and so is that a full will come actual link between these who would fees and thomas or are they just facing the same enemy? the link is really seen between iran come us as well that all 3 of these organizations are being funded or being armed. and you're also being led by a general feeling or, or 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 released unless the actual copy from harvard university of iceland to of ok. no is throwing lava more than a 100 nieces into the foxes will prepare for the a reduction to the town of glen to vague after weeks of seismic activity, homes and businesses in islands in iceland, that most populous region outside the capital. i've been evacuated, but the scale of the interruption took scientist by surprise. plumes 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 to happen just seeing lava emerge from the grounds even if it's it in a particular content and such as this is just fascinating and see just nature and action. i just, it's just like some of the movie a spectacle for some below enforcement in the area is making sure people in this

town stay safe. now there's our option here near grant that we and we have cleared the town and the area. and now we're just securing the area and closing every road to the area. and that's just in process. no. but then we're just trying to manage the situation here. 5 plans coast guard is. i'm high a lot that release this for to adjust it. so phase dependency led to determine the exact size of the a reduction. iceland is no stranger to volcanoes. it currently has the $23.00 active erections. that's the highest number in europe. though some of these, this seems to be 1500 cubic meters per 2nd. this is quite a bit more than the evolution seen on the bench to live until now. when you're quite small,

in the beginning with the scientist say it is still unclear how long this one will go on for this is the w nearby from above. and a reminder of our top story, a security council is expected to vote on a new resolution calling for a pause in the 5, the game concepts. i'm asked chance at least a 100 pounds thinking. so i think killed the industry. the ask strikes in the last day more well here's that. so i'll be out and just a moment and i'll be back with the day with more on back to on. that's volcano in iceland and also about those attacks in the right seat. a couple of the,

a non returns to her, i'm says to her how difficult is a new beginning in the old home for christians in took off to being persecuted, escaping to a different life, a different place. cartoon it to them comes back despite to the consequences. refined community. no stopped in 45 minutes. on d, w,

the west page. i mean, i know, did i mean i might just do it and i'm hosting dw new podcasts. thanks. trace amount . bother. today about joining us as we travel around your, facing the history of every day of that. and that's something right around the world. no need to talk about justice, subscriber id, listen to part costs, and we'll take you along for the ride. the monumental structures of the stone age milestones in the history of mankind. some of its greatest meetings are monumental stone arrangements that people elected long before the pyramid technical and logistical

feet that symbolized the impossible, really see it. the stones tell the story of a powerful resolution. what exactly happened as of 10000 years ago, the secrets shone age. stats, december 22nd on d, w and great britain has bar right in front of the canada auto bunks. the countries are falling to the cold of us defense secretary, lloyd austin, to join in maritime protection, forced to keep the rep see clear of who c rebels based indiana the who face have been attacking commercial vessels in the red sea, causing at least a 5 big shipping companies to start operating that. so with a task force, look, i'm going to the who fish really want, i'm feel go invalid and this is the day i.
