refugee and in central garza, much of the site is in ruins. some residents still buried under rubble. others have flood, trying to escape the bonding. they told us to go to a russell, but we don't want to. why should we go and live in the streets there? the entire neighborhood here was evacuated. as more people leave their homes in search of shelter, many end up in make shift camps overcrowded. and without running water, daily life is a constant struggle page at all, and the will not have the pain enough of the hung up of the hosting home with hired of everything in his life. and that does nothing for basic needs. it's difficult to make dogs to wash clothes. we have to bring water to drink and to wash with all the

suffering that we need to buy, sign or treat house with girls and women. but we can't find any. we have to wait and loan. cute. so with supplies running low food prices are also soaring. the un refugee agency has warned that 40 percent of guys as population is at risk of famine. some people can't even buy canned food because at the prices that are 10 times higher than before. no matter where they go, guys, and say their lives are always at risk as the bombing doesn't kill them. they fear a slow death from hunger or disease. well stephen ryan, from the international committee of the red cross, is in rasa. we're nearly half of all guys have less and he told us about the conditions there as well. they the same thing you see across the rough uh each and

every day become more and more uh, concerning uh, over the last couple of weeks we have seen tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people arriving rough, had to set up 10 pretence in places that aren't designed to hold large numbers of people you would have seen in the reports, us now that they, the conditions in these places are not suitable. there isn't enough water and there isn't enough. uh, shelter material i, there isn't enough sanitation. and certainly people also don't have enough access to foods, even if there is food in the market. you would have heard that most people can't afford us. so the conditions here in rafa are extremely dire. and the amount of turn organizations that are here are struggling to be able to respond because we do not have enough relief supplies to be able to meet these needs. these situations, these places are not set up to receive large numbers of people. and each and every day, more and more people arrive at a steven ride from the international red crescent. in rafa. let's take

a look now at some other stories from around the world. a russian course has sentenced a writer to 7 years in prison for reciting a poem against the war. and ukraine. argue i'm come. margin was arrested during an anti mobilization protest in september last year. and he has since accused police officers of torturing him in detention. the new river has overflowed at spikes and the hung gary and kept to budapest, reaching its highest level. in 10 years, docs and roadways have been flooded and some businesses along the river were shot and street cars were cancelled. the danube is expected to return to normal levels by the weekend. ukrainian officials say a civilian cargo ship struck a russian mind while sailing through the black sea. 2 crew members were injured. the vessel was collecting grain from the southern ukrainian port of is my slash. the u. s. s. government has approved what could be is final package of military age

to ukraine. the deal is worth up to $250000000.00 and president joe biden has made supporting ukraine against russia as a key priority. about republicans in congress have insisted they would authorize any more funding and less democrats agree to strict true measures to limit migration or correspondence. sonya found a car in key until dw more about what could be the last us aid package, where you, great with it, is pretty significant, has, has been welcome to preston savanski to these, you know, welcome to and said it would meet ukraine's most pressing military needs now we've already heard of the shortage of minute munition affecting ukraine's upfront line operations with you know, ultimately cruise a saying that no need to ration show. there's also another component in this package which is all about a defense munitions which is also very significant. just this week, we saw rochelle launch renewed by raj of drone to tax on cities like what i saw and had phone, and uh, an causing, you know, kind of a,

that's an damage to infrastructure. and for ukraine, of course, you know, kind of intercepting and shooting down these drones before they hit the targets means it goes through these a defense munitions quite false. but of course, that is confirmed. you about wavering west on either ukraine and officials of said the plan to ramp up domestic production of weapons next steel. that's what and to long range, slight tones which a queen has been using to strike fall behind enemy lines. for example, to target a russian warships in the black sea. that the war has legs, nato, to reevaluate it security, especially on the eastern flank with russia. germany's reason tonight is spent of a permanent trip deployment. there is just one such change that we use to our schultz report. the russians war on ukraine may need to take another look at moscow and in the mirror, resulting in the biggest reconfiguration of the alliance since the soviet union crumbled. more than 30 years ago. the new plans were approved at nato is building

a summit in july. we took the major decisions to adopt solver lions for the future . we agreed the naples, most of the details under bus, the defense band since the cold war. defense plans that look like those from the cold war, dividing alliance territory into regional commands, outlining extraordinary operational detail in thousands of highly classified pages . it's kind of how many ships do you need here? how many soldiers do you need there? then of course, you take it down below that and then you get into the real nitty gritty of how you would move the ship to right. and how you would move the soldiers around. how you would we supply in great detail. all sorts of things that you would expect to have in place where they have a need. were they ever needed just the plans and vision, 300000 troops could move to nato's border with russia. within 30 days. one big change may seem painfully obvious, but wasn't automatic. identifying russia by name,

as the alliance is main adversary, any opportunity to not consider russia as an enemy is being lost, but what we seen in ukraine in the very fact that we've written it quite clean, you know, clearly, and it's being, it's being used in our documentation this political shift is huge for the alliance . finally, allowing open strategizing about how to beat it's most likely. opponent says military analyst alexander muscle are there is a much higher degree of detail that is available for a military planners up to, to work with in terms of exercising in terms of planning and, and thinking through the campaign design. despite the political differences among allied governments that come out and other places here at nato's military headquarters in mullins belgium, admiral blount says everyone's on the same page. but will that change now that they've got $4000.00 new pages of plans to implement each l?

i will be required to provide specific capabilities, equipments troops, and to keep them at a high degree of readiness. this will be expensive and some governments aren't yet even close to spending the 2 percent of g d. p on defense. that's now a minimum expectation. still admiral blount and says, do you none of us approval of the plans, demonstrates unwavering unity within nato. and we haven't seen anything about that, send a few claim as being illegally invited by russia. professor model are says, it's important that the agreement has been formalized and writing on paper. you, you have, that's that consensus there, that, that nato machinery can, can build upon. even if in practice he notes, there's still a handful of allies, less than fully committed to their new responsibilities. not hello, says russia's actions are a constant reminder of the risk of not doing so. well. our correspondent terry shows who filed that report there. told us that nature was actually looking to the

past as it re shapes as defensive or for it's asked me, nato's for we're looking plans actually look more like the way the alliance positioned itself during the cold war. in the sense that you needed more equipments and more troops, pre positioned along the front line, closer to the russian border. and that's what they're going to do. now. they're really going to put a spotlight on what research sources they have and where and how quickly they could move if needed. if russia actually posed more of a physical threat to nato territory, that means every country is going to have to literally say, how many ships it has, how many tanks it has, how many troops it has, how quickly can they move? and that's going to make nato a lot more practically able to move, should it, should it have to, and know a 4 course in hopes that this is a deterrent effect. and then it doesn't actually have to go to work with russia. but as i mentioned in my report for the 1st time, they're naming russia as the most likely threat to nato territory. and they're also

getting ready for just how russia, wages war. the deputies, terry shows that parts of northern and central europe are on alert for more flooding. following heavy rains, rivers have burst their banks and many areas, flooding homes and prompting evacuations for cost was born. the worst could still be yet to come. water levels in the elder river are nearly 6 meters above normal and they're still rising. europe got stuck with a rainy christmas, and the unwanted gifts are piling up. the low lying netherlands have planned for events like this and prepared accordingly. losey on this is really to see lots has been invested in recent years to make reading for the river. and yes it is that high go uh, but it can still be okay. kind of stays woods, and what is the 20th flooding? let the villages cut off by water. students returning home for christmas reached their homes by boat flooding and central germany caused christmas evacuations. as

some residents were forced to leave their homes, the worst is still expected near the eastern city of dresden authorities have declared the 2nd highest alert level on the river. elbow. waters are set to peak 6 meters above normal. upstream in the czech republic, high waters on the alba stuck his boat under a bridge little offices of all that we secure with the boat, with the steel cables. so that if that was a release, it would cause havoc somewhere further down the bad. further south and hungary, the danube river has overflowed its banks and the capital, budapest, reaching its highest level in 10 years. docks and roadways have been flooded as conditions normally associated with spring time hit early. well the reason i remember big floods but not in december and december. the danube used to freeze. i remember when i was very young, the ice around the chain bridge come to be broken off with explosive soul bunny kid

. i figured the danube is expected to return to normal levels by the weekend. but more rain is forecasts for parts of northern europe, including germany and the coming days. well, americans will surely be happy to hear that they can once again by the latest apple watches after the tech company files and emergency appeal sales. if a series 9, an hour to, to smart watches were halted in the us over a passion, ro, medical devices, pharmacy mole, accused awful of pushing it stuff on technology. the white house refused to overturn a bond on sales and imports, but apple made an emergency request with us court of appeals, which succeeded in guessing the bond lifted. a as in sports just before we go, the annual said need to whole, but your race has ended in one of the closest finishes in the history of the notoriously difficult sailing challenge. lo connect across the finish line in tasmania after one day 19 hours,

3 minutes on 58 seconds defending champions come launch finished just 51 seconds behind. as the race came down to the final 50 meters, the winner of the overall handicapped side. so probably wouldn't be known for several days. and that's all for me for now, for more news, you can always head over to our website, our youtube channel, and the rest of our social media. i'm 100 promot amberlynn. thanks so much for watching students and take care the it shouldn't be this one here. it's hard not to feel something really is happening here. what is happening to greens and ice researchers explore an untouched place into the ice
