a total number of losses, and one is rarely troops to $152.00. is the fighting continues from us. run health officials say more than 20000 people have been killed there. as well as the bombardment of casa, has forced the cancellation of christmas festivities in nearby bethlehem, the biblical birthplace of jesus. the city in the is rarely occupied. westbank would usually be full of tourists and pilgrims. the crowds are absent to see it as is the lodge a christmas tree. many of the best lands residence in morning of the conflict and gossip which is just 50 kilometers away have correspond again, phillip shelters, in best land. he describes how different the atmosphere is in bethlehem, this e of the very difference, no big celebration this year. it's an incredibly set up. let's see here. 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 . i know those circumstances of big churches setup presents. yours said that it's no moment to enjoy when soul of joy, when so many people are suffering, it's done. 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 both take place this year and that is going to be a and midnight mess of the normal christmas mess. bots, the procession doesn't take place. the marching bands that usually accompanies the let's, let's in patriarch didn't arrive and so when they arrived,

they did not play any music. it was a complete silence. a very, very intense moments here. 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 as a huge financial loss to the whole region. it's the usually the busiest time of the year and also usually about it's a lot of income for the people. estimations around 200000000 bureaus. it's christmas a. 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 yeah, they say that you cannot make laws 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 whole 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 arrive to israeli authorities didn't last and let us pass. so we had to take a huge detour to arrive here in bethlehem. so i have definitely seen a much more value drive for christmas periods in the past the deputy corresponding young, philip shelton, bethlehem. thank you. the pentagon says an oil tanker were attacked of indians coast on saturday was targeted by a drawn, fired from a rock. the strike caused a fire on the vessel,

but there were no casualties. reported. indian government says the tank was carrying crude oil inbound from saudi arabia. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack in recent weeks. the city rebels, india men, have repeatedly attacked ships in the red sea with drones and declared all is vile affiliated vessels to be legitimate. todd's it's. elizabeth kendall is a middle east expert at the university of cambridge early as she explained how credible the west claims that ron was responsible for this attack. while it certainly will address presents a step change in what we've seen so far, they would no longer be doable. deniability from a wrong, by using a proxies in the region, but i don't think there's any doubts to question if there's any reason to question us and tell them is it does fit the behavior from the wrong, which since mid october has been doing stuff, geographical escalation, i think would make logical sense very wrong in talking global shipping is ideas

that way of focusing international attention on trying to perhaps rain in israel's actions in gaza as well. where these attacks are very blurry and highly aggressive . it is trudging a capital line still between actually these thinking vessels or creating crippling damage or engender and loss of life states for now, at least this does look still casserly calibrated to create maximum disruption, but without actually provide change without the who the rebels and human has carried out more than a 1000 drawn attacks 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 your tax and the red sea. there you see something you could not operate at this level with this kind of weaponry. this kind of training without the wrong help. now it is

was pointing out however that, that he's, he's on lunch a direct proxy of the wrong. it's very unlikely that the wrong has tibits will come on and control over them, and there have been braced the red sea, a task for the reasons that slogan, it's very similar to iran, is, includes dest, israel, dest, to america, custom, and use of course, they use the benefit from playing the here defending the palestinian on the go around. these are based on these increases that leverage and the ongoing tools with the 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 red sea. this light is attacked to place on the other side of the arabian peninsula of india. how significant is it that ships of being attacked across a much broader stretch of water now as 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 high 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. if they could actually sinks that would be game changer. his best carries on for an extended period, crippling 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, as with asking us as ask that more than a 1000 countries participate in joint patrols in the region, is the

a tangible calculation coming together to try and restore security here briefly. if you could there is the code, it should be on them together. but i don't 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, tony, now to some of the other stories making news. this l. the quote in el salvador as all to the rest of the former president alfredo christiane, a for the alleged cover off of a massacre in 1991. the warrant described the mazata of massacre as a crime against humanity. some 1000 people were killed in a 4 day military operation during the country civil war. it's jim and police have
