the, the, this is the, the news life from berlin and the united nations most closer to agreement on gaza. negotiators back to the night seeking common ground as the us take notes, it may finally be able to agree to a resolution. calling for a pause in the fighting. also coming up a step closer to equal rights, the finance l g b t q plus community solomon overburdening the past as the 1st reading of pills and the garden legalizing same sex marriage bolts showed with widespread public support for the changes, floss especially legal to feed for you a fund fee for

a call to the football associations broke. you know, when looking plans for the new super league us pull to expect would explain, but this might mean we are good football. the 5 digit manager, welcome president joe biden say is the us is negotiating on a new united nations resolution on does that quote, we may be able to agree to the un security council that is working to get us approval on a resolution sponsored by out of states to hold the fighting. a vote has been repeatedly delayed as negotiators haggling over the wedding. the latest version calls for a suspension of hostilities between isabel and her boss, which in many countries classified as a terrace group front, then you can and germany have joined global calls for us these 5. but

even if the security council bosses a ceasefire resolution, it stopped. yeah. if it would be heated how boss has issued a statement saying they should be called no talk about prisoners. old exchange deals, except often a full cessation of aggression on code and speaking as those negotiations were on the u. n is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu also appeared to rule out any troops. i know whom i'm sure whom, but we continue the war until the end. it will continue until how much does it have a nice it's and so victory. let me those who think we will stop and not connected to reality. we will not stop fighting until we achieve all of the goals we have set to eliminate the promise of release of a hostages, and even moved at the threat from gaza. we're attacking how much a lot within federal fire and a who everyone, including today. we also attacked their assistance, some name and file. i don't recall how much of the terrorism on the 1st of the last,

a deadman go to a couple of the only have to what me the soon surrender will die me. most of it. yes, i'm luck. steps that will lead kinda hold on. what might of sunshine is a john list and senior meeting this time list with the international crisis group i out. i asked for her reaction to that statement by benjamin netanyahu or right, well we've heard from them yahoo! and from most of these really leadership that this war will take months and months and months and that it will take a very long time because they are dedicated to what they say is the destruction of come us. the military objective is something that almost 3 months into this war. it is hard to see. so i just don't, i don't think that israel is able to really build the victory narrative at this point and it's in yahoo as many on know and understand is interested in political survival. he's already in a re election campaign,

as he knows that most israelis are interested in an election or in some kind of removal of him from power once this war for ends. and so the question of if how and when is where it will end remains very obscure, the victory remains completely elusive and as such, and it to me, i who continues to talk about analysts, analysts where might of meanwhile, the us also say is go to very serious negotiations that taking place on a new sees 5 guys, he's 5, but the prospect for the didn't demand on something where it is right as we just saw, and how mazda both standing firm and the bonds. what do you think is needed now? in your view to break these deadlock as well, we certainly need a ceasefire, but what's on the table currently from israel is some kind of pause. the type of pause that we saw in late november in order to release hostages. there is great public pressure from the families of hostages in israel to 1st get the hostages out and then continue on with the war as israel sees fit. you know, so that what's,

what's on the table currently, both in the un and in the is really proposal is something that come us has officially rejected him off once a complete stop to the war. something that is rel, reject. but you know, as far as the crisis group is concerned, and certainly many humanitarian agencies because of the disaster in gaza, of the starvation, the disease, the outbreak and the fact that we don't really see an end to hum us rule there. yet . we need to cease fire now there's also a regional escalation to worry about. and these are all reasons to stop the war and then enter into some kind of diplomatic and political process, which is really the only way that will bring security to his release. about the un security council draft because that as a new from the us, as a banking over the wedding data as well. what do you think needs to change for the us to beckett's as well? i think the u. s. is already trip, you know, it's already made it clear that it's not interested in a ceasefire or what, what they've been calling a sustainable. i think the station they want to pause. i'm hoping that that's

something that the us can agree to. but you know, the us has made, it stands, she very, very clear. and even though it's trying to limit maybe in some ways, the way israel is waging this war, the us is 100 percent behind israel. it is not calling for a cease fire. and so any human resolution that alludes to cease fire is not going to be supported by the us. if it's some kind of pause then, maybe that's something that the us can get behind. we were talking about the name and up now who are there and i'd like to bring him back into the conversation. how much do think there is a sense that uh benjamin netanyahu and his government are getting frustrated and even angry. and the re, israel is closest allies and now talking about its actions and goes up well, i mean, i think that israel has been able to act with impunity for it, for decades with regarding it's for treatment of the palestinians. and so, you know, i, i don't, i think israel is aware that there's a big problem with the number of people it has killed. and the fact that it's

really, instead of destroying from us seems to just be destroying gaza. so, you know, this and yahoo is also showing to be a, be confronting biden on his, you know, so the so called pressure because he things, but we'll get him a points with his base here in israel. so, you know, i don't really sense that israel feels pressure from the world. obviously there's major protests in the western capitals, but otherwise is rose continues to operate as it, as it pleases, pretty much where you live with them. thanks so much for joining us today. might i was on try and see now list, and the international crisis group in talary. thanks so much. i are tied onto the bottom. it has overwhelmingly boss. the 1st reading a full draft builds on same sex marriage. the legislation would mean more equality for thailand, sizeable eligibility to bloss community rights activists have said existing laws do not reflect the changing solar from attitudes and discriminate against my daughter to groups. the changes still need the final approval of the king if paused thailand

would follow new paul and taiwan in legalizing same sex marriage to 3. so the define cook gaiman's client is getting into the festive spirit and they may soon have something else to celebrate. the same sex marriage rights, et cetera, sexual couples. the majority of ty, parliamentarians approved full draft bills on same sex marriage off to the 1st reading one day. and we will legally be able to support our partners to members. many of the our lives will be easier. how did you do that? my name and what am i doing? we won't have to hide anything from anyone. i couldn't do it because the lot will be behind us. i thought i name and a lot of the bailout,

15 new off. what do we don't want to be? privileges to apply to? lot of people misunderstand. that's something i think were calling for special treatment. then they told me that our community just wants to be treated fairly night and they live in everyday life. valia thailand has one of the most open, invisible, gay communities in asia. but activists say this reputation is misleading because the country is known as an institution, still discriminate against l. g p t q plus people. they say this allows the human stadia in all parts of society. pre abs attempts of posting those of marriage equality were blocked by the full a minute. treat government, but hoops, monks, the gay community will re ignited of the prime minister. se touch within was elected in august this year on to his government's proposal. the words man and

women and husband and wife would be replaced with the gender neutral terms, individual and spouse in marriage laws, allowing for full equality for all. the bills still has a few hurdles to pause before it becomes low. but many l g p t q plus activists in thailand feel they're closer than ever before to having that cruise for quality onset fraud has done this, but i want to, i'm going to be now from bank or with more on based on a full bills on same sex marriage of not being bossed in there, fast reading today. does that mean that these are as good as law? now, what are the next steps as well as it still requires? you've all heard of this before becomes lost. what happened today is that the bill, the bill was a rather the principal vision in the full bill which passed the 1st reading and problem. and what that means is that's it for now. so far. but for me to bring the

full bills together and then then to parliament again for the 2nd i'm so reading before it goes to the last minute before they come. and we'll just show them how many of these good. because today we're seeing more maces on both sides of the government and opposition overwhelmingly. support the bill and the bill. so through the 1st reading, with only the voices of hosting in solomon with 360, more than 360 lawmakers voted in the stay before which i did want to talk to you about these a 10 or 11 law makers who voted against the bills and i wanted to know from you why there was a post to it. and what does that say about opposition to same sex feels as well . uh, like uh, nissan 3 is, uh, one of the key issues when i call the same sex marriage, that is a big because also called as a religious belief. and so in the shape that we have

a sister in law makers are essentially it's mostly lawmakers from the southern part of the country. it's not thailand, it's overwhelmingly but is adams. this religious establishment hasn't really weigh in on this particular issue. but for some of the most little community that's i'm concerned cause about the impact that such a load have on everything. just been a uh and that will make us have made it very clear and solomon that they don't understand the way of change or progress. the change in the society, but they want to have a lot of discussion of the committee level to see how similar to a change can be integrated or how that belief rabbit status be respected. why this law is moving to watches adoption. and i think it's an interesting debate because essentially you have what's the last minute, i guess it's hard to say in principle, but they say that that needs to be afraid of discussion on the great it includes

devotees, events going on to cause uh, you know, the details of this, oh for most had put in all things like allowing me to islamic ro is it's finally community farm. eric, for example, elizabeth zip: open to an orthodontist, but i want to own in bangkok. thanks so much for that. no worries, i do smell the un has suspended it deliveries to hundreds of thousands of people in so done as fighting that continues to spread beyond the capital part of home. the one foot program said it was forced to stop barking and bobs of jersey rob province, sedans, army had been drawn from the region as it's about a minute treat arrivals. the rapid support forces advanced on bother me down me. up to 300000 people have since fled to that city. that was considered a safe haven for many displays. people the

escalating war has ultimate a dangerous for john list to report from so don, but the, the corresponding body. i really managed to get into the south of the country. she sent us this report from the account for internally displaced people. these remote pods of sedan has become a place of refuge for people fleeing the war. and some of them can now tell the stories. my name is honda, how mulder, i fled from one hard to of to i lost my 2 children and one of my legs shipped to tell the stories we had to enter so done illegally by ourselves. so done to reach the remote new the mountains region check points, a guarded by the s p. m and rebel group. they've been fighting the sudanese government for almost 40 years, demanding self determination and secularism. now the war has re ignited this old

conflict. as we travelling with german n g o cap anymore, we are allowed to pass after an 8 hour drive, we reach a good weekend, thousands of internally displaced. people have sold refuge here, including honda. how much fit i've done at the bomb. he tell a house, i didn't lose my legs straight away and it didn't take me to to sense that it was 7 . someone who could know when i bought it just felt number couple. she was taken to hospital when she woke up from surgery to amputate her leg. the doctors told her that she had also lost her 2 sons, our teeth and up that were only 2 and 4 years old. i live in by children, the adorable. we played a lot together, but god has taken them away from me. i will leave it to go to charge the government . i don't blame god for it. i was thinking about them. i was thinking that i'm going to going to shake it, took a while, a the lovely,

a quote of a 1000000 people reach the remote into the mountains region. this local church paid a crucial role in providing century many people in the congregation here today say they have this man to thing for their lives, past and most equity society. and a few weeks after the fighting broke out, he organized $23.00 buses, which transported $1500.00 residents of park to him to safety and the new by mountains. how about people? it's got that. well, if people died or people there were not to, they were not having foot the bus. katie mall done the number not to use. i'll post ok. because people that i knew from there and they were not able to instead of that . so we just from the bus, and if there's a lot of how gone the way people in this region have to get by without help, almost 10000 people have found refuge in this camp. now at least they have

a sense of safety, but not much else. they like clean water, proper food and shelter, and the only medical facility is not enough medicine. despite what she's gone through honda, how moto says she won't give up. she has 2 other children to take care of. i don't know. so i was told that i may make them any good so that a man made them be happy. they should not see them right. and we don't have a practice to do. but if i don't do one, so that a minute just them to say that i'm with the was still ongoing. many of the stories of those with been affected or only starting to trickle out what's clear is that the effects will last well into the next generation. doctor, followed by the general correspondence not able to build up a quick look now at some of the other headlines, making news around about voting has been extended to

a 2nd day in congos presidential election up to some pointing stations frames to open on wednesday due to widespread logistical problems. president felix, she said k. d is running against 18 challenges. the voters altering, disrupted by civil conflict in the east protest sub adopted in doing a site is up to new origin time president, javier, to be announced. a major economic deregulation, thousands mazda gains, drumstick comes to public spending plans to set off all state on the companies, and the valuation of the pace, or the lady says, shock therapy is needed to get the economy moving again. and venezuelan president nicholas my doodle has welcomed his ally, alex um, who was freed by the united states into prison that the sub, a, colombian businessman was arrested in 2020, and accused by the us of money laundering for the venezuelan government. as part of the d advantage without really several opposition linked to prison as, as well as 10 americans. a russian president vladimir bolton has

left the country for over 2 decades, keeping the opposition of bay. but the electronic commission say is more than a dozen candidates have finds to run in the upcoming presidential election. one of them is a former journalist who wants to war with you, praying to end. but for critics tell a different story. they don't lose jennifer. false reports, you can just email them over is planning to run as an independent anti war challenger to vladimir putin in next year's presidential elections and the she wouldn't have a great success today. the situation in russia is such that those people who could represent citizens with the democratic views and values and the upcoming elections are either in prison, have their rights. restricted changes are under criminal prosecutions, or have chosen to leave all of them. let me give it to you, but until you would think of them since the idea arose, why there shouldn't be

a woman as president as a symbol of softness, kindness and feelings that the need are in the machine. you do solve a says she's aware of the risk of being openly critical of the crime and she's already been interrogated over her opposition to the war in ukraine. and shortly after she made an appeal for campaign funds via social media transfers to her bank account for blocked. despite this, to solve a has had to counter claims that she's a criminal stooge. a so called spoiler candidates, either drawing votes away from the main or position, or acting as a democratic sick leave for. political analysts. a bhaskar yamma says she has a strong political record in her whole region where she was a member of the local parliament, the, the new person, the new, the i have no grounds to say that doing server is not acting sincerely our power. well, she has a good reputation, but she just showed yourself as

a driven personally, the woodson, senior idea, as a person who cares about the realization of a deals no, don't pretend to speak politics and you can, you pull in or letting me approaching is widely expected to another term as president, it would be his 5th. yup. he announced his candidacy after handing out military awards implicitly linking his re election but to the war. and yet such a strategy could misfire with a challenger, who's also focusing on the war, says alaska yamma. how do you spell on a bit of the risk isn't guiding too much. support invoice is great, especially during her election campaign events on the front deteriorate. and this company ruled out which means that anti roll sentiment will increase. and then the protest voters will go to vote for, for the grievances and stuff like that. and you just pull, you could do nothing so of a can count on local support here in the chef,

where she made her name as a tv drawn a list. but nationally, she's relatively unknown stated yet is ignoring her in order to run blue silver needs the support of a $500.00 strong special interest group and 300000 unique voters from at least 40 regions of russia. for 60 very much, but to me which is the prospects may not be very good because we all see what happens to people who declare their position one way or another. what is 90 and i get them from being recognized as a for an agent to being prosecuted. i want to believe in the best outcome for the in fact, this is something like that happens. it will only prove that the current authorities have a weakness and i think they don't want to show it. perfect. and even if she manages to officially register observer, say there's little doubt over the outcome of the election. a from a political story to a football story now is the pin union stopped. the court has ruled a do

a fund fee for broke you law. in blocking plans for the break of a super league in 2021 involving 12 rebel clubs. the ruling does not mean the super elite project to be approved, but it does boost hopes. the court said fee for a new way. if i had no right to make any new inter club football project subjects to their prior approval, barcelona andrea elementary and have continued to simple the idea of breaking away from us despite sanctions from european footballs governing body. it's chris huntington from the douglas ball. it is with us to help us understand things. chris, welcome. what does this really mean? well, it definitely marks a serious legal set back for you way for and fee for because the european union, the court says that they broke the law in threatening the clubs and the players that were involved in a super league. and that was one of the main reasons that, you know, a got quickly disbanded in 2021 after they announced the formation of it 48 hours

later after fans and teams, you know, express their opposition. it disbanded fairly quickly. but this, this particular ruling, it means that football could change in the future in regard to the super league. it could change the way football is run altogether. but it's important to note that the really did not endorse the super league. so the status of the super league whether or not, you know, move forward or not, it's kind of in limbo it's, it's in somewhat of a great area right now. so what of the reactions being to this rolling? very interesting manchester united one of the original 12 of the teams back in 2021 . they came out and said they're fully committed to you way for which means they're not really jiving. with the idea of the super li, the premier league says that any of the clubs that are part of any future plan will, will be, will suffer a 30 point deduction, 30 points. so you're out of any kind of competition in the premier league plus you'll be hit with a $25000000.00 pound fine. the german champions by munich said they support you

wafer and the doors closed in regard to them for any super lee. but on the other side of that fits barcelona, one of the proponents for the super league. they are thrilled for the idea. they believe it pays the way for the formation of the league a 20 to the promotion company behind it. supporting the idea says that the monopoly that you wipe and people had as over football is now free. so you know, it's 5050. what will happen moving forward, but it looks graham, you know, in my opinion, considering so how many teams say they're not gonna, you know, support it, especially with the premier league putting down the, you know, their fights and so forth. just just remind us again, press what are some of the arguments that were given to create a super league in the 1st place? well, just to make a add a little bit of competition. you know, to the ingredient. you know, a television money has been considered a key ingredient and reason why the european super leave would be formed in the 1st

place. the people in support of the super league believe that it would give. busy you know, their hands on the money to this, to separate and basically allocate the funds and it would have a trickle down effect that would make the game more entertaining to fans and supporters, you know, abroad and so forth, of these clubs. and also they believe that it could strengthen the domestic leads you but, but this argument has always been an argument for what the champions league is supposed to serve as well. um, i found it very interesting that a 22 the promotion company behind it and announced that a 64 club tournament there in the plans and making that right. and uh, they'll have be a woman's competition in advance competition. and what are the issues a gives us a believe was the idea that it would be a close tournament. it wouldn't be based on merit. well, a 22 this promotional company says that's not the case. it will be based on merit and the figures right now. i'm looking at 400000000 year olds and plus, you know, to divvy up, you know, i'm on the clubs, participating. so there seems to be,

you know, quite the, the cared at the end of the stick, but i'm not sure if anyone's by the name of the chris addict. and thanks so much for breaking that down for us. thank you. i am focused on your autopay is off next and don't forget you can find more news on our website. that's the w dot com. i'm a bit a spend a g in abilene. we'll see you soon by the
