comparisons between this bill requiring organizations receiving more than 20 percent of funding from a broad to read just as agents of foreign influence and roles and russia, is opposite by branding or labeling of the slow as a russian. lo doesn't lead to a constructive engagement because this law has nothing to do with the, with the russian law. having passed its 3rd reading, the bill now goes to the president who has said she will be television. but that will likely only cause a delay in the government says that plans to use its majority to override any veto before the more is officially adopted from other and maria, there are a lot of concerns and opposition to the bill inside georgia and abroad. what was the governing georgian dream party? why were they sold determines to pass this bill. the

really, really necessary. now ukraine has a 3 petri of systems to came from germany, one from the united states is worldwide. we might be involved in this, but they are still political discussions about which countries could deliver that tree. it's of that ukraine, which really needs a very important point that secretary blinking also mentioned is that russia has to pay for the destruction it's causing here ukraine. nicole and a secretary blink instead of that, they will seize the assets, the rush, rush us assets, and in the us, and use them to repair and restore to damage that russia is causing and ukraine. turley mentioned more reporting from keith, always great speaking to you. thank you so much. let's look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. now. israel's foreign minister says it's up to age of to reopen the roof of crossing to allows for mandatory and relief and to gaza. israel has controlled the crossing for the last week. egyptian government has denounced what it calls an effort to shift the blame for blocked

regarding today's events for a murder attempted murder and the possession of an arm of war as the government, as the authorities calling those numerous people have come out today saying this is really shocking. this is the 1st time since 1992 that a prison guard was killed at that time. that was doing a prison break. now because a prisoner had been freed while he was being transported from a tribunal back to the prison. so however, the police and the government responded to this. so police are so, you know, trying frantically to, to find these people. we don't actually and know exactly how many people were talking about. politicians, how come out during the day? say our thoughts with the family. we really think of also the police officers that have been injured to people to prison guards were killed during the tasks they

attacked 3 others were injured. 2 of them uh, you know, are in a severe condition. and all of these 5 people are fathers. we hard to, to not say, you know, the, the politicians, all the positions from the position from the government, even in my, my call has come on the president from so have come out. they said, you know, we will do everything to find these people and bring them to justice. the state of corresponding lisa louis. thank you so much. to southern brazil, now we're rescue efforts have intensified them and flooding and one slides after 2 weeks of heavy rainfall. at least 147 people have been killed in hundreds of thousands are displaced by the wet weather and the state of rio crunchy. to sol, president little at the silver has conceded authorities were not prepared for such a disaster. the government has joined experts who blamed the nino weather phenomenon, which they say is exacerbated by climate change. journals, gustavo bustle has been covering the flooding in brazil and joins is now at gustavo,

you've been to the affected areas, we can see it there of behind you all that destruction can you describe the situation there for us as well right here. what i'm standing right now, i did ruse of a neighborhood in the valley of equity, which was the very upper river that was the most destructive part of the whole state right here. and then have it done, say there was a wrong 1000 people living in this neighborhood and they have nowhere else to come back right now to go home. and that's the situations of lots of people around the state. we have, we're talking about a 2000 people. they're still living in shelters. and most of them don't have where to come back. and there is a very concern where they're going to, after all this passes, you're going to take a look at a long time to, to really surpassed this. but that's an important question that i do not answer.

president, the silver has conceded that authorities were not prepared for a disaster of this magnitude. is there any evidence to suggest this could have been avoided? i wouldn't say avoided, but to be less less definitely. if people, if the governments were prepared for something of this magnitude, for example, the cd or for the lady has a lot of protection structures for the globe of late, doesn't they? they're the cities. and this, as this protection system was not the main thing to hold this, the weight and shoot. for example, 2023, the mayor put non nothing of their investment to ship this protection barriers. also they saved government approved 480 loss to flex a bit more flexibility into environmental walks and environmental

protection that could also not avoid. but there's this whole event last badly and less destructive, destructive, sorry. so our authorities getting any closer to getting the situation under control, getting a to the people who need it and get them to somewhere say i would say they're doing their best, but not any closer. because that's do a lot of things to do. for example, there we are on the weekend, we have a lot of rain also another time of floods almost as big as december's, which will. busy the 2nd biggest before made all of this month came back to the streets, all these debris. they're still managing their emergency, their jealousy. they're still managing with the crisis, but not really close to fix it, really fix it and to take to the new step off. how to reconstruct

and reviewed all this destruction that was. busy in the state and so forth in el nino year um, but meteorologist and scientists and other capacity say that this has been exacerbated by the the effects of human made climate change. how is brazil preparing for a warming planet? as i would say, he's not really prepared. unfortunately, we've seen huge crisis in brazil in they're not yours, but now, you know, last october the amazon has seen the worst job that it has ever seen. i was there, now we have the worse floods. we can maybe see brazil as the as the center reach where the climate changes are shown the faces it

stays and the government really prepared for that. those journalists start with bus . so thank you so much. i of the 77 can film festival has opened in the south of france, the moving world. the annual and january will highlight work by hollywood veterans such as francis ford. coppola is also hopes, the reigning director mohammed russell will be able to attend the premier of his new film. he's been sentenced to 8 years in prison for an alleged security offence back home. but he has managed to flee in recent days. 40 years of preparation, a budget of a $120000000.00 among you meant to film the side drama. megalopolis was a labor of love for its director, and one which drove him to the brink of ruin. megalopolis by legendary hollywood directive princes food popular tools,
