7:05 pm
the explosions and gunshots spring out in the deserted streets of ralph on the southern cities, the latest focus of operations. if this really military, israel says masses last remaining fighters are based and roughly along with the groups leaders responsible for the october 7 tier attack. so it needs to send more troops there from us our troops, and destroyed several tunnels that will destroy even more soon a lot of this activity will intensify on a mazda is not an organization that can reorganize. fucking does not have the reserve troops. it does not have the ability to produce munitions. it has no supplies. i. the result is we're cutting it off, we're wearing it down here in visual hockey model. this is really tanks of already advanced deep into rough us eastern outskirts pushing into residential areas. the one says almost 600000 people taking refuge in rafa, have now left after israel took control of the gods. a side of the roof of border
7:06 pm
crossing supplies and medical services have been dwindling. sewage in place already in the southern gaza running out. i think we were talking about the missing on left food in the market very soon. i mean, on the left medical supplies in the hospital that remain in the south to 3 weeks, i think to go perhaps a month 8 agency say a temporary peer anchored by us troops and regular air drops are no substitute for ground delivery palestinians to have been calling for the border crossing to reopen, as well as the ship. we went to border crossings to open my appointment safety. we want official borders. those planes as well with the parachutes and admin doctor
7:07 pm
food just like dogs like beggars. well that doesn't work out. it falls on people as a princess problems other than 5 show the big bull the gotten the most accurate with the most eat operations disrupted due to the rough uh, offensive, and humanitarian situation already dire. agencies warrant thousands are now facing an immediate risk of famine. for more i'm joined now by test ingram. she is the spokesperson for unicef in new york and she just spent 2 weeks in gauze. the last month test is good to have you with this i want to pick up on your experience that you had in gaza. so recently i'm considering that the un is saying that the threat of famine remains real and acute for the people in gauze on is that also what you saw as it is unfortunately, i think, you know, i was fee is being realized that the mind moving through morning,
7:08 pm
some months about the risk of the time and in gaza. and particularly in the north of guys when i went to the nose, i walked around the hospital where so many mountain hours, children, and spoke to the parents. it's just heartbreaking. just say your child in that condition is so much pain and not being able to receive the help that they need to recover. i'll see you now is that because of the issues with a getting in through the southern border crossings because of the roster offensive, they're already in dire situation in the south could escalate to what we saw in the north of gaza in a very short space of time we do have aid that is known coming in to the territory via this floating peer that we just reported on. your agency says more than 300000 children in gauze are at risk of mountain nutrition and starvation. how then do you decide which children get the food considering that the food is in short supply to
7:09 pm
yeah, look, it's really difficult at the moment when the needs us. so when all of us and the aid is really a dropping the ocean compared to those needs of the humanitarian, i work, it's just heartbreaking to know that you cannot serve everybody, but, you know, since he's there, we're staying and we're doing our best to deliver. despite these really difficult circumstances and reach the children and families that made us devised, we try and plan our distributions based on need, but also wherever strict to buy access as, as we've been saying that for months, it's really hard for us to get the size t shirts is that we need to move to some of these areas, so it's a day by day play. at the moment. no more than half a 1000000 people have fled rafa in search of a safer place. 8 agencies say that there are no more safe places left for people to, to go to give us a sense of the challenges that agencies are going through to provide help to these
7:10 pm
people to so there are 2 main areas where people are being asked to move to from ross and the estimated number of these places, people that have sled ross or in the last 10 days is now at about 640000 people. so that's about half the number of displaced people that were in rafa. and i know most of the people in such a short amount of time and what we're trying to do to service them in these 2 areas they going on the last the and do your out by law is to assess the needs and try and bring some level of basic service to those areas because a moment watching, for example, essentially essentially, and there's nothing that there are no toilets, there are no showers. there's very little infrastructure for people to build shelters against. i was sort of that area and it was already busy a month ago, so i can only imagine now and i'm hearing from colleagues just how crowded it is.
7:11 pm
this is very difficult for us to make the story made when we kind of get a need. so the, the supply is almost ground virtually to halt in the last 2 weeks. yeah. and it seems the world's attention is focused on the southern part of gaza. but you know, it's not all peaceful in, in the north. in fact, fighting continues in the northern part of the territory. what, what's the humanitarian situation there? so the knows that the guy is a strip is the, is the area that has been the most affected by the funding. and the has had the least access to aid consistently over the last 7 months. it's been very difficult for 8 agencies to get the safety assurance as we need to to travel. no, we have one calling a unit stuff in the north of guys or remains there and i've spoken to her and she's told me just how difficult the situation is there at the moment people have been told to evacuate. but these are people who has been out for 7 months and have
7:12 pm
survived serious selective services, including a lack of food. and so people are unsure about what to do now whether they really do take the plunge and try and move. but the funding is, as he said, testifying in the notes as well as the south and worldly staying strikes. and the middle areas are broad across the gaza strip. children's lives remain at risk test ingram with us so that we appreciate your time and your input to not thank you. thank you. here's a quick look down some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. police in the french city of ruwan have shot and killed an armed man. you're trying to set fire to a synagogue authority, said the attacker had a knife and an iron bar and threatened him with francis the the surgeon anti semitism since the october, 7th, and most of the terror attacks in his re brazil has been confirmed as host of the
7:13 pm
2027 women's world cup in soccer see for delegates chose the south american nation over a joint proposal from germany, belgium, in the netherlands. it's the 1st time that the event will be held in south america . a russian president vladimir putin has rejected the renewed proposal by his french count department manual macro and for a ceasefire. during the summer olympics, while visiting china foods in said, russian athletes were treated unfairly by international sports bodies. russians can competes as individuals under a neutral flag, but not under the russian slap. your brains, president voting is zalinski has cancelled. all that is planned for in trib says russia intensifies its attacks on the eastern, our chief region. this new offensive began last week, taking advantage of ukraine, shortages of weapons following delays in western supplies. but ukraine says the russian side is suffering record numbers of casualties. and the ukrainian army has
7:14 pm
been aiming to disrupt the russian supply lines by striking inside russia itself. a ukrainian soldiers firing at russian positions in the hockey region where few expected there would be significant finding again more than 2 years. interruptions were and ukraine. the frontline overall has not moved much and months. but last week, russia opened a new front north of the city of hockey, with an estimated 30000 soldiers re taking some villages and bombarding the town of chance that has spurred and evacuation and the sense of whiplash. the region was, amongst the 1st of all when russia invaded in 2022 but was retaken and the lightning ukrainian counter offensive later that year, prussia is attacks here, have already drawn ukrainian forces away elsewhere on the front line. ukraine is finding itself short of manpower and of weapons. after months of delay,
7:15 pm
while the us congress argued over more deliveries us secretary of state antony blank and made a rush to surprise visit to keith to dress the worth living situation, saying the new deliveries will change the dynamic. we know this is a challenging time, but we also know that in the near term, the assistance is now on the way of some of its already arrived. more of that will be arriving. and that's going to make a real difference against the ongoing russian aggression on the battlefield. morning ukraine meanwhile says it needs more or less or defense. the biggest difference is for us. and i think that the biggest problem he has and, and we need really, we need to day to bed, throws for hockey. one factor that could help ukraine succeed is the increasing willingness of its importers to allow a tax inside russia to slow the flow of russian military supplies and hender
7:16 pm
advances. ukraine says the us formerly asked that not to conduct such strikes for fear of escalation, but keith now believes that is changed. and secretary blinking said that while the us doesn't encourage it, ukraine must decide for itself what to do with long range weapons. while the u. k has already said that ukraine has the right to strike military cards and russia. other allies have been more muted in germany, still does not want its weapons used on russian territory. there have been several strikes using non western weapons in recent weeks on belgrade, a russian city near the border to the hockey region, including this one where a missile was allegedly shot down and hit an apartment building. belgrade is a major logistics hub and one ukrainian media outlet claims. russia is building a new military airport. there drone and missile attacks there have killed dozens,
7:17 pm
according to russian authorities that gives russia another reason to fight and northern have keys to establish a buffer zone by pushing ukraine's artillery and missile launchers farther away from its own borders. to make those attacks more difficult. for both sides, timing is crucial if russia gains even more ground before ukraine gets the reinforcements into weapons. he may find it much harder to keep fighting back. for them, join yell from washington by george barrows from the institute for the study of war . we're just going to have you with this a clear this up for us if you, if you would have the needle moved at all on us policy concerning ukraine, striking russian territory with us weapons. thank you very much for having me. brent. as far as we can tell though, the needle has not moved yesterday, the deputies both person for the state department of reiterated what is
7:18 pm
unfortunately become boilerplate rhetoric for the same department of the us. government does not support the brands uh, conducting attacks in russian territory. and it usually add on, but it is ultimately raised decision, but the fax on the ground or that the brands or the blast, 72 hours have conducted numerous long range artillery strikes against the russian deep. we're in crimea, but they've not yet struck a military assets in belgrade. okay. you said that's what's happening on the ground and you know, the official policy has not changed. the ukrainian seemed to be saying that the white house has been saying something different behind close doors. i mean, have you heard anything to that extent or so far not? and unfortunately, the facts on the ground or that the russians have been able to a mass up to 30, to 50000 russian troops on the other side of the international border. and my team at the institute we, we collect and study a lot of combat footage. and when the russians began this new operation just
7:19 pm
a couple of days ago, we saw the opinions of striking the russians when they. ready were right either on the border or quite literally a few 100 meters across the border. so we know that the dependence can see them, but they're not engaging them in making a conscious decision to not engage them until after the across the board. i suspect we will know that the policy has indeed changed. in fact, boards least behind the scenes once we start seeing the pregnancy interdicting russian aircraft behind the lines behind in russian, aerospace for we start seeing some deep strength fires into uh, visual ray russian territory. yeah, it wouldn't seem certain is that anthony blinking words and keep this week, they're being interpreted as a policy shifted by keith. at least do you think that we will now see the ukrainian military targeting russian territory with american weaponry? i don't think so. not until we actually get the real policy change. i think that will probably in the near future see demonstrative you praying strikes using the
7:20 pm
british darn chatter missiles now that the u. k. has officially announced that it is okay. what i expect the brains are doing or they're trying to find the appropriate target that will create the informational effects to demonstrate definitively, but yes, the ukrainians can use u. k provides weapons and natal provided weapons on russian territory. and that it doesn't result in any sort of catastrophic escalation to make it clear that those prohibitions can similarly be lifted up by the united states. i'd also add that this is not the 1st time that we've had this sort of pattern where the united kingdom actually sort of breaks the taboo on would washington is not willing to do . and then wash and follow suit. notably last year it's a bridge that led with the main battle tangs laundering, striking and with this, you know, it sounds like you're describing a native that is um, softening its stance and its restrictions placed on ukraine's use of western weapons. absolutely. i think european writ large,
7:21 pm
understand the stakes better. they understand the military stakes better. and they understand that, you know, who was red lines and his new color saber rattling. those are really follow tribes because the ukrainians in variety of different ways of already contested many of those red lines and proven that the russians are really trying to use drugs to constrain our own decisions. so that the russians are forcing us to how do you pay in spite of fight that the russians would fight rather than the fight that the pregnancy defied to insure their defense towards borrows from the the institute for the study board, which we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. thanks for having me read, which is the south pacific malware authorities in new caledonia say that the violet unrest of the last few days has subsided. that after paris declared a state of emergency, the unrest in the french territory has left at least 5 people dead, including 2 police officers. the violence broke out after french lawmakers
7:22 pm
introduced new voting routes. additional security forces have begun arriving in the archipelago. the state of emergency it is set to remain in place at least 11 days. all right, i'm doing now by my ts koba. she's just co edited a book entitled the geographies of new caledonia. cannot. he is a professor, geography and economics. he joins us this evening from vienna. professor, it's good to have you with us. i. i know that you have lived in new caledonia. you've studied it for decades. some residents, they are seeing that the last few days have felt like a civil war of what is your take you is that what you're seeing happening to my point of view? well, so that was still a big word. but we have seen the demonstration that turn violence, and i think if this situation is, can become a civil war,
7:23 pm
like in the ages, that's what people fear that remember of the violent events or the french calling it's events from the eighty's in a territory that you say is now with about 50 percent in favor of independence. this constitutional change from 17000 miles away in paris. and it, it, does it feel like to the people there and you call it don't? does it feel like action is being taken by a former colonizer it feels like a good trade because um, since 1998 since the new me or the court. so you kind of doing it has a restricted collect rate. so people who arrived after uh, 1988, you're going to have to be live 20 years, some of the territory to be an electron boat to vote. and the provincial elections
7:24 pm
and some future referendums about political independence. and when they arrive off to 1998, they are content you can vote. and so, which means this is the basis that pro independence parties and wireless adi sent the french state, negotiate together in the 19 ninety's and the defense or civil if you want to call it a civil war in the eighty's. and now, without any new consultations and negotiations, the french government wants to change this compromise that has been found together under progress or to to change electra right. well, yeah, i want to just ask you, if the in the indigenous people, the come knock people, they make up about 41 percent of the population there. that's sizeable. why didn't france speak with them? and with the pro independence movement? people 1st uh uh,
7:25 pm
the thing is that uh we had 3 independence about restaurant about political independence in 2018. 202-2021. and they were all negative against independence. but the 3rd referenda was bored cartridge by pro independence parties, and by most of the colored people, and because of the corporate pandemic and the from the french government. so they asked to postpone the 3rd referendum. the 2nd referendum was very close. so 47 percent voted in favor of independence, and there were hopes that the 3rd referendum would be in favor of independence. and to so the cost the french government to postpone the referendum because of the corporate pandemic. and the french government said no, we don't want to postpone it. and then they book cartridge the referendum for them
7:26 pm
. the 3rd the referendum was illegal models. you really democratic didn't participate for, for the and for the french government, which is was phenomenal referendum. and to so it pounds and they voted against independence over 90 percent because the kind of people didn't participate mostly and to so that's difficult to start negotiations again after that. the referendum. yeah, i mean it's a, it's a long, it's a complicated history to we appreciate you. they're taking the time to explain it to us tonight. mathias gosh. the cover letter of the book and the geographies of new caledonia cannot. thank you. thank you very much. i or you're watching the w news of next our modern african lifestyle show. every box catches up with the strongest woman in kenya, you're going to want to see that i'll be back at the top of the hour with more
