the, the, this is the, the news coming to live from berlin julian massages last ditch effort to avoid extra addition to the us, the wiki leeks founder, texas final appealed to a u. k. court. these warranted on spying charges in the us. but his supporters claim he won't survive being expedited. also coming up, the children left ill and starving as famine looms. and ethiopia as t gray region will have a special report on this growing crisis. and these really border city where life is returning for months on from the october 7th, some us attacks. we visited a kindergarten with reopen for the children to come by
9:01 am
the hello and terry martin. good to have you with us. after more than a decade of finding authorities in the british courts wiki leaks, pounder julian hassan just now facing what could be his last chance to stop is extradition to the us. prosecutors there want to put him on trial and spying charges, but his wife says he would not survive being extradited with lawyers taking his case for an appeal to the high court in london days before the u. k. cool. it's considered whether to expedite julian, a song as to the us, his wife issued a heartfelt please, his release. his health isn't declined, mentally and physically. his life is a risk. every single day he stays in prison, the energy use extradited,
9:02 am
he will die. but it's not just about to be expedited. should julian should never have been put in prison in the 1st place, the to day hearing maybe a song, his final jones to prevent expeditions to the us where he faces a prison sentence of up to a 175. he is assault just been a wanted man since 2010 of these which were blowing for him, which he likes published classified us all the materials supplied by an intelligence analyst, delete, consign documents and video footage from the was enough dentist on a new, rac summit is associated with shocking, seemingly implicating us troops impossible war crimes. i believe that if those 2 things were lawful under the rules of engagement, when the rules of engagement are wrong, deeply wrong. for your card, many applauded as long as you steal us. nice and shedding lights on the murky side
9:03 am
of armed conflict. he was showered with the woods and voted readers' choice. the time person of you have in 2010, bought so many others, the leaks when nothing short of treason and a song as a dangerous enemy of the states. in november, 20 times swedish authorities issued an arrest warrants for sullens. off the 2 women accused him of sexual assault. and right, he lost the legal battle to fight extradition to sweden. bottom file, the southern shore, refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy. the embassy would become his home for the next 7 years. the spots in 2019 the echo, during embassy had had enough of its controversial logia police, were invited in at a rest at his own. now he's facing exposition to the us. something he supports us feel is an attack on free speech itself. the space has alarming implications for journalism and trust, freedom around the world, not least of all as he would be. the 1st publisher tried under the us espionage act which lots of public interest defense. we would add some reporters without borders
9:04 am
that there should be a political solution, but that it must involve no further time in prison. for julian, in any country should have shown she's appeal be thrown out by the courts. he's mixed and possibly final hope to avoid exposition may rest with the european court human rights. for more on this, i spoke just a few moments ago with muds under the us. he's a former un special rubber tour, an arbitrary detention, and he believes it will be difficult for science to get a fair trial if he's expedited to the us. he is supposed to have published information brought about u. s. a matters which then are subject to confidentiality rules in the secrecy rules in, in the united states. and they are not, won't see him back at all. all of this happens abroad and they want him to the us to face tries to that. this is against the fundamental principles of
9:05 am
a press freedom didax that you could punish somebody for what to have done about it . get just think about me sitting here. you find the information about some job and a political issue. so or military issues which i thought should be published, harry know, not published it i can use and walk me back. it will vote me to join me. there is to face trial under the espionage legislation. so 1st world war legislation against the espionage because basically they have to, to, to, to come the government and united states off the, do not the states join to test well, well, i mean, it is just after this will get so highly politicized. there's no doubt that any country would have great problems in giving a fair trial on the such probations instruction situation. of course, the united states should never have started this kind of investigation and they
9:06 am
should never have given him a cost is if to this it, there's a legal process which has ended up in college and, and they should never have dunbar. and they should because neck and have all hobby of extradited. so just one more question the, the us says the design is leak classified information. as you point out on a huge scale, they say that endangered personnel and compromised national security. these are serious concerns. why should a son not be held accountable for that? it is no longer instance documented that he has the endangered people's individuals secured it. and well, the country can claim bought. but if you do this in all the country, that's all the country, the u. k. the german, if a lot mazda would regard this as
9:07 am
a political offense, they would not extradite somebody. and to the us in a situation like this east based colored general principles of law. now, when the united nations already has said that this constitutes an opportunity detention on that it is unlawful also to expedite to jeer to freedom of expression . well then, i think that makes the must have very clear as much you're going to not look, i'm should make it clear as a matter of o u. k or english law and filled out my to as a, as a, as a, as a question or us long. and i was much under as nice a point where you and special rubber tour on arbitrate attention. speaking to me, a short while ago now is real, where authorities are working hard to help residents back to areas emptied by the trauma of the terror. attacks carried off by a mazda on october 7th, last year. dw,
9:08 am

9:09 am
called excite when you're away from your natural habitats. and the kids, as you can see, are having lots of fun being around the classmates, accounting in their natural habitat. guess i'm. it's a whole lot role in new york city. lucky visa bachelor and what am i saying? the city is clearing the debris of a battle. this empty lot was the sight of a police station stormed and then occupied by a mazda militants. mural marks the stand often ensued when it's rarely troops destroyed the building with the attackers inside. many of the scars that were left by the attack had been patched over, but still 2 thirds of the city is 30000 residents haven't come back there. what's the deputy mayor expects that it will take another month at least before even half of the residents return. we are not in college where enabling and it's
9:10 am
a, it's a big difference, but not a quote. people come here to is doing a lot. it's good for you because it's very personal, someone that is good for him and will come someone that is child is very afraid and advert. posttraumatic can be sorta so staying out of the city for a long time. but wherever, enabling everyone to come here to a, a start again. the military has assured him, the city is secure, and i'm us haven't launch rockets in this direction in 2 weeks. but many say they won't feel safe unless some us is destroyed. little by little stakeholders recovering from the horror of october 7th and returning to some kind of daily life, the explosions that you hear on a regular basis and the city keep everybody on edge. but they know that for now, at least it's a sound if it's a really shells getting gaza, which is just over a kilometer away. there it's an active work zone and
9:11 am
a return to routine is still on thinkable you just says malnutrition poses a grave threat to children as well as pregnant and breast feeding women in the gaza strip. the situation is especially serious in the north where one and 6 children under the age of 2 or 2 lea, mom, malnourished northern gaza, has been almost completely cut off from a for weeks in the south where aid has been more available. unicef says 5 percent of children under 2 years old or acutely malnourished. that with the amount of terry and assistance, the human body expects the situation to deteriorate rapidly as well . joining me for more is armoire armoire from eunice of middle east and north africa regional office and him on jordan. thanks for being with us. mr. m. r. a new report is warning of a steep prize and mel nutrition among children and women and gaza. how bad is the
9:12 am
situation there? thanks for having me. good morning. this situation is deeply concerned and, and really demands our immediate attention and action, you know, after 20 weeks of ongoing fighting and become today at the, the, the putting does. i'm most of the children don't 100, downstairs through the week and the folding 6, you know, there's a surprise and many edition rates it so that's up through the excessive base it by being going conflict multiple monday, the displacement many times over. the non humane living conditions for the majority of the population. but yeah, they've been game, especially for the children. if you look at their pocket and you know, 1300000 people living, they're trapped in a small piece of land. yeah, i think it makes your sense, you know, with no access to essentially basic services which is large, the estimated or as if there's of put labs, they don't have access to enough to with 3, not sports or theirs is you scarcity of any type of, of of,
9:13 am
of you didn't get to just even for the children and this is, you know, but it doesn't that this is studied because of all so you know, the findings of the musicians get screenings in the north, that phone sites 15.6 percent or one and 6 children under 2 years of age. acute, imagine this might be interested in many, many might not. so imagine i noticed this, this obviously except because, except because a fine thing of this cause this problem with the lives of this or that i'm immediate danger. if nothing is changed in, in the, in the immediate future. so a critical situation could, could this have an impact on the long term health of those growing up in the gaza strip? yeah, of course it has the ash. busy medium and long term implications. the short implications would be that because a step is always the weakness of explosion and preventable tried tests,
9:14 am
which could with component do it, that the unbeatable level of drug test. and guess that, you know, and this is on the short them, as i've said nothing because changes do a wasting, has as was, you know, lifelong consequences as it increases the risk of mortality and morbidity in children. and with the 5th episode increased to increase the vip desk off of a something. and you can see with certainty that there is, but it's strong evidence that the advocate nutrition in utero and in the 1st 2 years of life is essential for the formation of you mind. the nourished sponsor, children, i'm more likely to become short adults, so have lower education achievement and to give birth to small that and friends at the short term menu edition, especially wasting construct. ben puts them at the higher risk off mortality. and even when 35010 is pumped it with consequences for learning cognitive development and disco floor, a long go through, i'm not communicable diseases and in other lives. right?
9:15 am
so there are really short needs, you might have long term implications if nothing gets changed. urgency and immediately for those of them and because us to i'm our m r from unicef. thank you very much for talking with us today. thank you so much. let's take a look at a few other stories making headlines today. un security council is set to vote on a new resolution calling for an immediate cease fire in gaza. the draft was put forth, filed jerry, a, it's likely to be vetoed by the us as to previous resolutions were for not condemning how mazda is october, 7, 3rd time since you. it's all right in ukraine. visiting the front line. the country's president below them is landscape has said the situation there is very difficult due to a shortage of weapons. here's western allies to stuff up deliveries, crate in troops for forced to withdraw from the strategic eastern town due to

9:21 am
definitely a need for people to really make their livelihoods. and the manufacturing that the food was not really coming up to the level that you required . and these competed ways of the drought situation, then the does a little costing precision. all these factors staying against the people's livelihood situation and become really, really was so for the area, that's why we came up with this. um, your press release and trying to really a mind to what, what assistance is really, really very, very important in this particular time. that people are really going hungry is sufficient amount of food is not coming to the country. so if you open officials have been accused of running a massive aid theft scheme of, of actually stealing the aid. what can you tell us about the, the windows up to that in terms of how the food
9:22 am
was being mandated by different stake. wonderful. in the, in the, in the whole process. but what we know is people who are not really getting, you know, sufficient resources. so of course a suspension was made by a us send you in the following the accusation. but for us to be honest with you, we really need to look at it from the perspective or for those who need what i need . whether the test that is being claimed, either right or wrong does any from mazda, but to ask you indicators what we need is the action has resulted in a tremendous amount of the security situation for those where they need some help to lunch. how much more aid is needed to address the food shortage in the region and do think that aid can be made available and delivered in time to a burden even bigger disaster? no, i'm not to. ready to do something you know that and all that is i'm not doing all
