hello and terry martin, thanks for joining us. the un security council has endorsed the us back seats for our deal between israel and from us. the resolution approves a 3 phase plan presented by us present you abide and which aims to end the war in gaza. it includes a permanent end to hostilities. the return of is really hostages, and a multi year reconstruction plan for gaza. 14 security council members supported the proposal. russia abstained. while the us says israel has accepted the plan. the israeli government has yet to give its clear approval. meanwhile, from us, the militant islam is group considered to tear organization by the you, the us and others as welcome the resolution in a statement shortly after the about so what happens next?
8:02 am
we put that question to our correspondent in washington. benjamin offers group that's the big question. what the ambassador of the united states to the united nations, linda thomas green felt sad, is that the security council send it? what's it called a clear message to come us to accept the ceasefire hostage deal. it is real. had already accepted, but as you just said from us already accepted it according to a statement that they send out that that's a big question. the many are asking themselves as why do we hear the us saying that israel accepted it and not directly from these rarely government just like this proposal that we heard 2 weeks ago by president biden. and where he said that this was in his early proposal, but it was also laid out by the us, the president and not for example, by the way, the prime minister. so this resolution that was passed overwhelmingly, as you mentioned, 14 votes in favor, only one extension rush that goes into detail about how these 3 face the proposal would look like. and it also says that if the negotiations take longer and then 6
8:03 am
weeks full phase one, the ceasefire will still continue. as long as these negotiations between israel and mazda, it continues. there was some admin vents to a previous version of this seized by a draft resolution because this draft that was passed categorically says that is all accepted the deal. and the previous one only said that the deal was acceptable to as well. so slide it change the or we have to remember that for months no negotiation was from a, the us, egypt, and cuts. i have been trying to media to achieve a seasonal us secretary to state as me, blinking his back in the middle east. he's due to attend the humanitarian aid conference for the gaza strip hosted by jordan, and he's pushing for this latest truce deal blinking has met with israel's defense minister and also with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the us draft is security council agreement calls for a 6 week cease fire in the 1st space under which israel with withdrawal from
8:04 am
population centers and guys of from us for it's part would free hostages. taken during the october 7 attacks that triggered the war, dw corresponded rebecca rivers is in jerusalem. rebecca is really and how about us are under enormous pressure to formalize and implement the ceasefire deal? is that looking likely swell? yeah, you're right. a huge amount of pressure is being sized on both sides, as you just mentioned on to the blinking in the rage, and putting more pressure, driving down on, on that pressure to try to get both sides to agree to this deal that we've now see . a pasta through the un security council adding to that pressure. now this deal is being sold isn't as a quasi is railey deal. this is certainly what us president joe biden was saying on tried last week when he announced the deal that this was in his riley proposal. and that the, the, the bull is really and how must his court to accept the deal. that's how it's big
8:05 am
frames. but actually, the truth is that the deal has, if you know israel's position on the deal is also ambiguous. there has been back and forth since the deal was announced by joe biden. some sources saying that the prime minister's office accepted the deal, but we've seen prime minister benjamin netanyahu come out saying that there are points in that deal to which they didn't agree to. and, and those points are, particularly when we talk about when moving from phase one end to phase 2. and this is going towards the permanent cessation of hostilities upon and it's a sign that is something that israel has said time and time again. they have not back down all day, so that is something that they cannot agree to. now, on the other side, you look at from us, they have said that they cannot enter into any deal, though they've looked at this favorably. they cannot enter into any deal that doesn't lead to a permanency spot. and so, well the un security council resolution did to lay out this plan slightly more and
8:06 am
more detail, saying that phase one would continue the cease fire the sidney time. and it says fire if you will, would continue through the negotiations to work its way into phase 2, which would lead to a permanent phase 5. really when you look at it at the end of the day, it's still something that these ready government not likely to agree to and we've so so just the other day that the standing down of the most interest member of the will can ment he's many doubts he's got now removed himself and his policy from the will cabinet and from the government, and that will put more pressure on benjamin netanyahu to you to lean further to his phone. right. coalition members vehemently r n t a permanent se size. so i think the chances of israel really coming out 100 percent to say that they agree with, they steal is very unlikely. rebecca, thank you very much. those are correspond it, rebecca rivers, interest ukraine's president blood to me as a landscape is in berlin for
8:07 am
a 2 day conference on ukraine's postwar recovery government representatives and private investors will come together to finance reconstruction efforts in ukraine. more than 2 years or more have devastated parts of the country. a priority after the conference will be ukraine's energy sector, which has been devastated by russian air attacks. so these on the front lines have suffered the brunt of those attacks. ukrainian officials expect the costs to rebuild those areas to run into the hundreds of billions of dollars. the town of, of chance, one of many on the front lines in recent months. and ashes after relentless russian bombardment and a war that rages on with no let up over more than 2 years of conflict, ukraine has lost 10 percent of its housing. many of its farms are full of craters and land mines, bridges, electrical stations, power plants,
8:08 am
and dams had been destroyed by missile strikes and explosives. in the world bank released figures earlier this year on the total estimated costs to rebuild ukraine, $82000000000.00 for housing, $73000000000.00 for transport, commerce and industry. 68000000000 agriculture. another 58000000000 and the all important energy sector. almost $50000000000.00, all in all $486000000000.00. although housing costs more to fix russian, the tax on critical infrastructure pose the most acute danger to ukraine, destroyed power stations and many cities like half keys, mean long blackouts, power cuts to hospitals, and damage to the water supply. the damage to infrastructure is greatest in the hockey. don't you ask? how son and lou haskell regions, but energy infrastructure and the capital key has also been hit many times. the pressure at this week's conference is on donor countries to finance ukraine's future. but in the present,
8:09 am
somewhere that more focus and money has to be put on keeping the power flowing ukrainians face another, punishing winter with wide scale blackouts and heating shortages before they clean up and move on. the people here have to make it through each day or more of this, i'm joined now by our chief political editor, mikayla cook. now mikayla the war and ukraine, of course, is still continuing, but this conference reconstruction conferences under is getting underway. what is below them is the landscape asking of delegates at this recovery conference. so he's really asking them to not only send weapons and money, but also to create conditions that signal to invest is that ukraine, despite this, will, is open for business stats and building up companies doing business that building up infrastructure, protect the energy infrastructure that is desperately needed, and that is also a will target, is still what fits and that's why we expect an announcement from this conference
8:10 am
here today. and that would introduce a broad, amazes that read and show investors against of potential losses. and that would also bring down the cost of lending money to actually invest in ukraine. when this conference was actually announced, there was still a faint hope that the room may be drawing to the close. that indeed, this might be about reconstruction in at least, and it's not a post tool society, a society that has an end in sight to this conflict that is not the case. and this is the attempt to create conditions that make this situation most sustainable for people on the ground to indeed potentially face a very cold, long winter. indeed, unless the infrastructure is in place to support them. now, yesterday, just hours before the conference was due to kick off ukraine's reconstruction chief
8:11 am
analysis resignation that's raised quite a few eyebrows. what's the story that make you it has indeed, and that will also raised some eyebrows here at this conference, questions will be off the 2 of them. is the lensky who is he will be producing pictures of us. see, we will hear him speaking in the gem and parliament, all of this signals and how close the pot to sit with the west is but this kind of go stay with the fact that he himself is having his own challenges as many other governments within his own governments to keep it stable on the this press, the internal and external process. so this certainly doesn't help him when he is asking for more money. at the same time, we do expect that they will be direct or indirect pledges of business prospect of that could amount in, in the 1000000000 region in terms of guarantees. so,
8:12 am
and this will, what ever comes out of its be portrayed as a success in fostering the landscape and his government that had to escape elections because of the whole killer. thank you. a chief political editor, mikaela christa, now, scientists researching african elephants have revealed that they appear to have names for each other. researchers say they communicate using unique calls, low rumbles, that can be heard across great distances that can be used to grab the attention of a specific elephant. it's a, it's an ability that only a few wild animals are believed to. this low rumble is barely distinguishable as a human is. but don't tell it the elephant seems to know exactly what it means. scientists say that's because elephants have unique coals used to communicate
8:13 am
across large distances. they've been eaves dropping on to hood some kenya to create a sound library for the research. about half of the the sound in the call is below our level of hearing, so we actually cannot hear it. and so we have to use a special microphone to record these calls and we also had to be quite close to them because the sound attenuates the distance. and research is to split the results by playing recordings to elephant slight migrant. she is, she responds to a cool specific to here, but this quote isn't here. and she doesn't call back or sometimes when they're in a big group or female or a med check of the group or give
8:14 am
a call and the entire group will respond to the group up around her it or follow her whatever. and then other time she gives to, you mean me there, a very similar call in and nobody will respond. nobody will reaction to call except for a single ellison and the group. and that are what that will respond or come out, you know, come up to or whatever. and so that sort of indicates that they have a means by which to communicate. do they want to talk to? the adult ellison's were more likely to use names than com. suggesting it could take years to learn the skill. now, scientists a working to crack the complicated code around the goals, they hope, understanding what allison's a saying could lead to grace a insights into how they think you're watching the w news. just reminder of the top story we're following for you, this, our ukraine's president of the same berlin for an international conference on rebuilding the country. it will focus on the ukrainian energy sector shattered by
