. there is rasp on bottom of guys. a has force the cancellation of christmas festivities in nearby bethlehem, the biblical birthplace of jesus, the city and the is where the occupied west bank would usually be full of tourist and pilgrims, but the crowd to absent the seat as is the traditional lodge christmas tree. many of bethlehem's residents are in the morning of the conflict in jobs of which is just 50 kilometers away. a correspondent young philip shelters in bethlehem young philip. it sounds a very different build up to christmas and best buy him to see of the very difference. no big celebration this year. it's an incredibly set up. let's see a here in bethlehem, as you can see behind me, no big christmas tree. no street vendors setting tended to the children, no music. the official sierra said it's impossible to celebrate christmas this year

. under those circumstances of big churches fed up presents yours, that's uh, that is no moment to enjoy. when so of joy, when so many people are suffering as son say, maybe it's also a moment to reflect on what christmas is also about the hope of a more peaceful it was. the christmas profession is usually the same to face to face deputies. they will that still happen in some or any form. no, no real procession will take place this year and that is going to be a and midnight mess of the non the christmas mess bots, the procession doesn't take place. the marching bands that's usually accompanies the let's, let's in patriarch uh, didn't arrive. and so when they arrived, they did not play any music. it was a complete silence. a very,

very intense moments. yeah. it's such a drastic change on phillip that how the people in bethlehem reacting to what must seem a very unfamiliar christmas as well. of course it's a huge financial loss to the whole region. it's the usually the busiest time of the year and also usually about is a lot of income for the people. estimations runs to 100000000 bureaus. it's christmas. and so it's a big economic sector. but all of the people that i've talked to a say they understand that the, the celebrations were, can so this, you have a say that economic loss is nothing compared to the suffering yet. and the region at the moment. and what about access the people? young philip, who would still like to get to bethlehem. how much of it is it to get into the hall?

the city in the middle of this conflict? very difficult. even the father was it was very difficult. as you know, there is a house on the controversial check points between jerusalem bethlehem. but now during the war it has become even more difficult. we had to experience that our self this morning. we were told that the main crossing is open, but when we arrived, it's really authorities didn't last and let us pass. so we had to take a huge detour to arrive here in bethlehem. so i have to definitely seen a much more value drive for christmas periods. in the past, the deputy correspondent gone. phillip shelton, bethlehem. thank you. well, the pentagon says i tank it were attacked of india as coast on saturday. was targeted by a drone, fired from a rock striped, caused a file on the vessel,

but there were no casualties reported in the government says the tank was carrying crude oil inbound from saudi arabia. no one has claimed via tech, recently to the rebels in given have repeatedly attacked ships in the breed, see the trends, and declared o is rarely affiliated vessels to be legitimate targets. the elizabeth capitalism, at least expert at cambridge university. godaddy with us, elizabeth, the usa is around, is responsible for that latest attack on the tank. the off india have credible. is that claim? well, it certainly will direct present step change and what we've seen so far, they would no longer be towards bull deniability from a wrong by using a proxies in the region. but i don't think there's any doubts to question. there's any reason to question us intel on this it does fits the behavior from iran, which since mid october has been pursuing a stuff geographical escalation and it wouldn't make logical sense very wrong in

talking global shipping is the effective way of focusing international attention on trying to perhaps rain in israel's actions and gaza over these attacks, a very worry and highly aggressive. it is trudging a capital line still between actually these thinking vessels or create and crippling damage or engendering loss of life states. for now, at least this does look still catholic, calibrated to create maximum disruption without actually provide change without the hooting rebels, india and have carried out more than a 1000 and drawing a tax on ships in the region embrace of wakes. does intelligence suggest that iran is involved in all of these attacks? the intelligence does suggest that the wrong is heavily implicated in the tax and the red sea is simply could not operate at this level with this kind of

weaponry. this kind of training without the wrongs help now it is was pointing out however that so he's, he's on lunch at direct proxy of the wrong. it's very unlikely that the wrong has titusville command and control over them. and that these have been braced the red sea, a task for the reasons that slogan is very similar to iran. it includes dest israel deaths to america, custom, and use. of course, they do the benefit from playing the hero defending the palestinian on the gold rallies. the base and it increases that leverage and the ongoing tools with saudi arabia. so we must ins underestimate these, these in their own right as an advisory off, iran is very much behind them. with a looking elizabeth at a met for some context, most of the ships that were attacked were targeted in the, in the, we'd say the slightest attack to a place on the other side of the arabian peninsula of india. how significant is it that ships of being attacked across and not broad, a stretch of water now, a well, this is

a significant change and it could be cost of the wrong. and this proxies testing the red lines of the united states and its allies. but this is a highly volatile situation, and the worry here is that that could be a miscalculation or a risk of an escalation. there are a number of possible game changes. i think if there's lots of lines that would be a game changer is actually syncs that would be game changer. his best carries on for an extended period, something global trade, that would be a game changer. and specific situation, i think, is the conflict of the attacks on shipping spread consistently to a broader geographical region beyond the red sea that and that may well start off the chain of events that could lead to a much more complicated conflict. and just briefly, it's with asking us as asked more than a 1000 countries, participate in joint patrols in the region. is the

a tangible coalition coming together to try and restore security here briefly if you could reset the counter together. but i do think we should have the estimates it's effectiveness. a coalition has been placed on my time force for about 20 months now since april last year. and it wasn't very effective. so it's difficult to know what that force could actually do otherwise, other than just be the 2 to down existing resolve. so let's not over act this force elizabeth candle from cambridge university. thank you so much. all right, turning out of some of the other stories making news this out. the quote in el salvador has ordered the arrest of former president further, christiane, a for the alleged cover up of the massacre in 1991. the warrant described deal must go to a massacre as a crime against humanity. some 1000 people were killed in a ford, a military operation. during the country civil war. the german police have increased
