a carrying supplies will soon reach the people in gauze of, but the peer is a poor proxy for what guardians want in the most shelter, food and safety. the war has forced the 2000000 guardians to flee their homes. now they're facing possible famine. that floating fear may give hope for some empty stomachs, but it won't come any worries about the war that keeps raging on our bridge off in berlin. this is the day the, the purpose of this temporary peer is to deliver critical humanitarian assistance to the palestinian people. getting a to people they need into and across the guys i cannot and should not depend on a floating dock far from when it's almost acute. we're always trying hard to, failing currently to bring in consistent volumes of foods. we don't have medical
2:03 am
supplies, we don't have a few. we have costs with those that are on the vacation for every new entry point . is a new officer, a big like plugged into cause is also coming up the fight for l g. b t q writes in asia, could thailand be the next country to legalize the same sex marriage? it didn't happen overnight. it's because l g b t 2 plus individuals have refused to be suppressed and have continuously funding for their rights. overtime we go to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with the a and coming in by water, not by land, food medicine, fuel basic supplies are now arriving in gaza. thanks to a floating peer built by the us military on friday. if you doesn't trucks really or
2:04 am
the dogs, that number is expected to reach a 150 per day, but that will not be enough. united nation says one point. 1000000 people are facing starvation in garza agency. say the only way to reach everyone and prevent famine is by land not by sea. so today's development of the welcome will do little to ease the suffering of nearly 2000000 people displaced by months of fighting in the gaza strip. there was no, we're left to go for either him and his family, but they're destroyed house. he's one of more than 600000 palestinians who have fled. rafa due to the ongoing is really offensive. he's now back to what's left of his family's home, and her newness today ever him has to make food. hello from an a parcel. have a good how you must,
2:05 am
but this is the kitchen. it's destroyed to have thoughts on fit for us, but we are making it work. god willing, i can repay this whole. so the children, thankful out for the the boxes usually contain can meet the fava beans and chick piece the w. f. p warrens. the aid packages like these are running out. we've not been able to access all warehouse and wrap it for more than a week. we have very little food and fuel coming through the boat across things in the south. and we are always trying hard. but failing currently to bring in consistent volumes of food with agencies want our new shipments and entry points for a delivery to guys the. the fuel food and medical supplies have dwindled since the is really military took control of the gaza side of the rock of border crossing last week to begin ground combat there. a trucks on friday
2:06 am
arrived at a new loading pier built by the us off the coast of gaza as a temporary aide core door. the number of trucks that arrived there could reach a maximum of $150.00 per day. the u. n. warrens that land routes are the most efficient a delivery method we ask that you in a finalizing, our operational plans to make sure that we are ready to handle a once the floating docks is properly functioning, while ensuring the safety of our stuff. however, getting a 2 people to need into and across it guys, i cannot and should not depend on a floating duck far from where i need a most acute land roost on the most viable, effective and efficient aid delivery method. which is why we need all crossing parts to be opened. reaching people in need will be the next hurdle to
2:07 am
overcome. 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 of last month test. it's 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 indic cute for the people in ga. so um, 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 some months about the risk of the time and in gaza. and particularly in the north of guys, when i went to the north, i walked around the hospital where so many mountain hours, children, and spoke to their parents. it's just heartbreaking to 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
2:08 am
a getting in through the southern border crossings because of the rock for 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 a that is known coming in to the territory via this floating peer that we just reported on. your agency says more than 300000 children and gaza are at risk of mount nutrition and starvation. how then do you decide which children get the food considering that the food is in short supply? it is okay. it's really difficult at the moment when the needs are. so when all of us and the aid is really a dropping the ocean compared to those days, as a humanitarian, i work, it's just heartbreaking to know that you cannot serve everybody but you know, same piece that we're staying and we're doing our best to deliver. despite these
2:09 am
really difficult circumstances and reach the children and families that need us divide, we try and plan our distributions based on need, but also wherever restricted by access um, as, as we've been saying that for months, it's really hard for us to get the safety insurances 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. agency say that there are no more safe places left for people to go to give us a sense of the challenges that agencies are going through to provide help to these people. and so there are 2 main areas where people 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 down at about 640000 people. so that's about half the number of displaced people that were in rafa. and i know most moving
2:10 am
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 as engineering, there's nothing that there are no toilets. there are no showers, there's very little interest structures 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. it's 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,
2:11 am
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 the just how difficult the situation is there at the moment a below big followed to evacuate. but these are people who has been out for 7 months and have 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 finding 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 guys. the street children's lives remain at risk
2:12 am
test ingram with unit self cuz we appreciate your time and your input to not thank you. thank you. the president of the country of georgia has repeated for opposition to a controversial bill that critics are describing is a threat to free speech. now the bill of the legislation, which was passed on tuesday requires media organizations and engineers to register as for in agents. if they receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad, the w. 's maria, cause their months reports for the georgia and capital tbilisi on who was behind the new law and why opponents are so concerned. the pensions run high as a georgian parliament. boiling over the seconds after the government adults, the foreign agents build a test as a furious and we choose to back down opponents of the low say the routing party is
2:13 am
putting georgia away from europe and closer to russia. and critics say that all the golf and found out that we're, we're in georgia, dream party between a bunch really who made his fortune in russia is behind this shift. and then of seemingly unlimited power and fabulous wealth. his message is clear. the west is the enemy is maddening in georgia. and if this and his relations with russia, would i not georgia, i'm your credit and middleton out to join a tire left out fine. but also because most of the decisions are made by the global war policy, which was a decisive influence on later in new york. and early nineties, georgia, and i create an account on the front. is this on the president of georgia, your game or the last really was, was even a should be it is ally now here wireless against him and joins in the protest. he has done abroad. definitely the pro russian. look, this is
2:14 am
a pro russian hill. so yeah, he has, he has committed himself to soviet guys in georgia to use a vacation, georgia. so yeah, that's, that's why he is. unfortunately, i think the experts say that the shift away from the west is directly linked to russia's ongoing invasion of ukraine. for both of them, you need to get to this would be the 91 is really who is behind of georgia dream. he believes that she was reading this for ukraine and basically west is very weak and he's trying now to accommodate that. i'll shoot you a political interest in the post soviet space. and he thinks that the georgia should be prepared for this even issue is direct connections to the crumbling are still not k, but some of the of a suggest that he's concerns for his own personal safety. could also play a role. and you know, he also needs to show the loyalty to mr. 14 because, you know, he knows that you know what he could do with them or he goes to,
2:15 am
especially those who kind of know thing line which is a for the same service rush. just do occupies parts of georgia and take prominent sentiment is intense and wide spread in georgia and society. the country's thrift away from the west. so with moscow has met with resistance. and the state has responded with a violent plumb down. there had been weeks of unrest. does this detain injured despite police brutality the crowd? do you know that down even before the law comes into force, implications, already apparent violence against the position fee as an activist, instrumentation of done, unless the government is using russian process movements in this country, but they say they will not be intimidated on 7 shows. is receiving seems to be
2:16 am
a good job hurry, the professor at the university and bbc is one of the many academics who condemned before an agent slow for that he became the target of a vine into attack. he believes it was orchestrated by literally in potty. i know people started beating me with a big long, heavy sticks like baseball bed, so i don't know, maybe it was baseball, but i tried to to to, to refresh myself. and then i fell down. they continued between me for baseball, but they said something like a so you want to guys, the law will going much. my dad, this is the interest has to be lease the west, has to step up and help georgia overcome this political crisis to break away from russia. what we need is
2:17 am
a strong support on behalf of our partners. no more folks and more options. students have been domain agency protest, movements for them to fight for independence and the european future is not over yet because she's been through this. georgia has been through this, you know, because there's no pressure physically and mentally always for the centuries. and we're not going to let our government finally decide this for us from inside of georgia, because we're just standing is the sport generation. my grandmothers, my mothers, where i guess they said, i'm going to continue with their like i said, i'm going to put them just by just for future generations. students say that they will po task for as long as it takes right up until october elections. when to just move past the ballot to decide the future of their governments,
2:18 am
time land is well on its way to becoming the 1st country in southeast asia to legalize same sex marriage. the most important hurdle, a boat in the lower house of parliament, was cleared in march, but the new law may open the doors to a future full of other challenges. use georg mazda of smet a lesbian couple in bangkok, hoping to tie the knot with full legal marriage rights. they just want to be a family like any other. this is ariah, her wife harriet and the 5 month old daughter the. the to type women got married in the u. k. 7 years ago and have been waiting since then can finally type in not in the home country to. this would make things easier, fair. when we have a baby to get there, she should get some benefit from from that home printing you from her company,
2:19 am
like uh, the park far education fee or do maybe call the park from the company that she works for. like a normal household, like uh, between man and boom and my full r for us is woman and boom. and we cannot get that. currently only ariah the legal guardian of the adult. while harriet is the only official owner of their home, because they could not legally share the mortgage, as things are now if harriet, where to leave the house to ariah, in the event of her death, it would attract high inheritance texas. the lower house of parliament is making moves to change all of that. it's past the marriage, equality bill. the law still has to be approved by the senate and signed into law by the king. know yon us of poppin has been fighting for this for many years. you know, when we talk about greater social acceptance,
2:20 am
it didn't happen overnight. it's because l g b t q plus individuals have refused to be suppressed and have continuously funding for their rights over time. we don't have known she is one of the most important representative of civil society giving evidence in the continuing senate hearings on the matter. she says that the conservative pro military government, that's right, thailand in the past try to slow liberalization. but that ended when the few type parts, which is now in power, was one of the major parties who included marriage equality. and it's campaign from ariah and harry adult, a mistake that the bill will become low and they're also hoping for further changes . the bill will only concern marriage, the legal terms father and mother will not be affected kindly. one of the women has to register as the father to the daughter. they fear this legal gray zone does not
2:21 am
give them full parental rights. it will be good if, if the know 1st law is passed for, for the same sick manage. and then the parent certificate can become later for the whole that that to be became very easy to read. yes. that may take longer. but there wait for the equal marriage act seems nearly over the law. we're coming to force $120.00 days after the king signs it. then the 2 will have the big party. they've always dreamed of. and get married again, or alright i want to bring in now jennifer lou, she's director for asia programs that outright international. that's and o g, b t i q human rights in g o. jennifer, it's good to have you with this. but 1st of all, this, this bill now it still has to clear the senate and it has to be signed by the king . is there any doubt that it will be passed into law um,
2:22 am
according to the local activities, because the bill already passed on both houses of the representatives. and the sudden it was a significant support including the members from the traditional call server to mandatory allied to send out. so most people think this bill will be passed eventually. but right now it's in the committee process. so it might be delays because of that. so we really hope the civil society really urgent, the type of rebecca, no response. these huge lp as a soon as possible. right. but i really want to get a kind of tickets before the hedge, but let's assume that this bill does become low. do you think then that it could serve as an example, as a template to other southeast asian nations that are perhaps not as socially liberal as thailand when it comes to gender and sexual equality?
2:23 am
of course, i know a lot of countries active as of not only in the eligibility movement, but in general or civil side. you really looking for where least positive edge of the law because compared was 2 of the eastern countries tie, one of which is my country. and also me pull the bills in thailand. the language is actually relatively more equal. i think cruise the probations for joint child raising and also others equality of same sex couples. so abra at asian country, especially southeast but asia country. i'm really looking forward to least change because by one being the countries a neighbor being whole night and the way of the visa is the traditional religious me. um, i think a lot of a lot of people think eligibility rights are wisdom value these, these come section doesn't align with the reality. these are in thailand,
2:24 am
the pol in one. so i think that the bailey said, that's a really important message, a narrative to the world, eligible to ride our human rights around the world. not only in western countries. let's talk about your, your home, taiwan. it's considered to be the most progressive place in asia in terms of eligibility q rights of has taiwan, achieved the quality. and i kinda want, i think the civil society really urgent. the revenge in, during the marriage can have of course we realize there's are some conflicts in both side and the compromise was strong bullying. we find the balance between the bose is fine, but you can see after 5 years until least here, the whole society actually changed. and then you can be our profit that i was
2:25 am
saying the best of the wishes to the resume. when are they young way in the roof or drug credit show? who was the 1st that you say you show way not. so you can see the whole society actually in re the um, the quality and that includes a narrative. yeah. and then everybody actual, it's a really positive message. i'm really proud of. let me um, you know, extend this out to other countries. i'm thinking in particular of china. china has more than a 1000000000 people yet. if you rely on the communist party, you would think that there are no problems for gays or lesbians because there are no gains or lesbians in changing things. china, i mean, do we have an idea of what the, what the human rights situation is for the o g b, take you community in charge or in china. we did have a really that and a pro active move eligible can move them for quite
2:26 am
a long time. but unfortunately, especially during and after the pens, i make the hi controlling of the simple 5. he makes the most the eligibility of 9 ration shut down because of the so called the sensitive on the activities and the moves and they're doing. but i do understand that there are still a lot of individual activities. trying to men tend to move, not the momentum of the movement in a lot of big words because you know, try not big is so huge. yeah. so um does they also have, according to, of course the population they have the biggest, the eligibility population i believe around the world. so i really urge the international sy fi, can you still pay attention to the situation of a eligibility of not only activist and also the individuals in china because they
2:27 am
do need that support around the war to make sure for the human rights can be made. 10, i agree in those big country, jennifer lou with outright international jennifer, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us and bring us up to date on here. what could be big, a big change for the, for the people in thailand. thank you. thank. it's but the day is almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find this on extremely notice. twitter ends on youtube, it dw nearest you can follow me at brent golf tv. and remember when ever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day, have a good weekend. everyone will see you here again on monday the,
