and i think that democracy in the process facing realities, do you see that the fraction is already starting the g 7 in the us on one side, china and the brakes on the other? i think there is a huge piece of that to happen here. the story on told to how does era, the civilians in the line of fire, more than 200 palestinians killed. and as far as license strikes on gauze the times that means i them, this is i'll just say are live from the hall. so coming up is right, the minute 3 says at least the scene. soldiers have been killed in bad homes in gauze or over the weekend. more is right. and the raids in the occupied west spine columns of volume and vehicles and bulldozers needs fit for existence and novelist

and to cut them right back to me. him why the war and gaza means christmas celebrations. looking very different this year. the to hello sobriety forces show no sign of scathing bags that are offensive in the strip. that's despite growing international calls for restraints. and more a to reach kind of sentience is riley strikes on gauze. would have killed more than $200.00 palestinians overnight. well over $20000.00 palestinians have now being killed in his right the attack since october, the 7th, 2 thirds of the women and children. it's increasing pressure on survivors who was suffering from shortages of food and other basic necessities. meanwhile palestinian non groups of putting up resistance was arouse ground invasion. these variety ami says the theme of its soldiers have been confirmed killed since friday. honey,

my mood joins us live from alpha in southern gaza. so had a double tragedy with more bodies folding quicker than they can be rescued from the rubble. a yes, samuel within the past 200 hours, almost 200 people have been killed in different parts of the gaza strip as more relentless strikes and artillery. southern keep pounding their residential homes and destroying more infrastructure, but as of over night were mainly concentrated in the central part of the gauze. this treadmill express these accounts that the eastern part of god that we're talking about, the phrase refugee camp, as well as the oldest surrounding neighborhoods of a new site and not as a refugee camps where people and the residents of those areas, particularly were ordered sharply to move to dinners, ballasa city as a new,

a new designated safe area for them. unfortunately, within the hours of, of this year of this morning, early hours of this morning do work bomb. and they were targets and bombs in, in the city of theater. but at the very area, people were told the vic evacuated to and this is not the 1st time we're seeing this. since the beginning of the work, people were told to in order to avoid being bombed, they need to go to these and usually a designated safe area across the gods to whether in the southern part or in the central part or further south here. and in and drop by city, that people found themselves the targets of, of, of funding bonds then within the, within hours of their arrival, entire residential homes which were destroyed while people were still displaced, palestinian, exactly where it's still inside of them. the tragedy of all of this is the inability of peoples, if they are under the rubble of the inability of their family members remaining, or those who survive to remove those did bodies of, from a,

under their up was making it very difficult for, for people across the gaza strip to offer their their locked prayer or even to do offer them the proper funeral procession and burials for them as it's becoming increasingly difficult to move them to a proper burial sites. and tiny, it's been more than 24 hours since the un security council pos that resolution on getting aid into gaza and a sign of the humanitarian suffering easing of the . well, the irony of the un security council is so far what people are seeing here is more death and destruction. not increasing the human. it's for you and aids that are supposed to be allowed into the gaza strip. just $200.00 people and there are more under the levels and the fact that people are reaching out to areas where these,

where the army was actively operating. an aggressively destroy unit after pulling out a form. if you were reaching out to areas where people are still under the rubble is being removed for looking at the large number of, of the seas bodies as well as in nearly killed palestinians in different areas. then. and usually number large number of people in, under the levels at the same time, there talked about the increased humanitarian situation. if we look at the, to the 2 and the 2 sides and thinking of the amount that has been turned in the amount of destruction as well as the large number of who are being killed with the . and there's more on the side of destruction and the compared to the, the talks about a humanitarian aid that is still tar vision on possible famine is taking place then . and it started to be quite visible. and, and, and part of the southern part already in the northern part on central parts starvation going on aggressively where people lack the very basics of they've read in the fast. that is the need for the survival here in, in the city of rubble,

are able to document part of this where people's lives in the queue and lines for hours this to get one bag of flowers or other necessities. similar situations happen in these areas where people asked to evacuate to small zones. all right, thanks so much. honey must mode is now 8 agencies. a warning decomposing bodies less lying in streets or on the rumbling gauze are increasing the risk of disease. i'll just say it as an, as a chevy for pull some goals and gaza when members of the civil defense recovering thousands of bodies and taking them for a proper burial that the so i mean, actually neil who not for sure. i'm as far as after more than 20 days here in northern cause of civil defense teams were able to recover bodies of tens of people were under the rubble of the houses and on the streets and roads. we'll see a show at i looked at them a lot of civil defense teams were not able to reach them due to the presence of the occupation forces in occupation vehicles in these areas. so you had the little

button, the zillow knock, i shot the extra head there. of course there's still tens of others killed, that the civil defense teams have not been able to reach in many areas here in the north of the strength of vitamin heavy. i just sent me a large number of these bodies have decomposed on the street, on the roads and under the rubble of homes. unable, most of these bodies are unidentified. now the teams are trying to bury them here in one of the spaces in this area as to how definitely what else do you have video that looked in the oven and to show a lot of the show dealt with today. thank god we were able to cover terms of bodies and they will be buried now in a mass grave news and donation hospital with the help of our teams. of course, as you know, we are working without any technical capabilities or equipment unfortunately. so also we were not able to reach the occupation east and present on the outskirts of the area. and we had great difficulty in reaching the area. the roads and the

district homes are able to show up on the streets are still not safe. it's not really on the east of targeting them any pass or by as well as the civil defense teams. the mileage on the show at the show, i do a mass grave for many dead who have not been ident size one, and there is still a large number of bodies on the streets. and it's a chevy. if i use it, all shamella has members of israel's will. cabinets have to northern golf. so net sold, just taking pos in the ground. defensive on the strip is really ministry. video shows defense minister you. i've gone to an emergency minister benny guns talking to troops. and fisher isn't occupied east jerusalem. so adam, what are you hearing about the spike in his riley casualties? it has been a difficult we can further easily. i mean, guys, it killed on sat,

so they 5 killed the day before. so starting over the weekend, one of the watch tools, they've had over a 2 day period since the beginning, the water on top of the 7th. we're getting some details on the way that the soldiers died for were killed when a guy didn't miss. i'll hit the vehicle, the armored vehicle that they were traveling in for were killed when they were targeted by bones. and there has been intense fighting across central and southern guys, a strip of the, the died on saucer date for we're in the central part of gas a for we're in the size. and you'll know that these really army has been saying that they are slowly gaining control of the north and central parts of guys up and moving their operation towards the sides. now the fact that there is such intense fighting and they say this is happening in complex areas suggest that that control isn't quite as widespread as we would like. at this stage. they admit that having difficulties in some areas,

it is in placement street to street. in some places it is face to face come, but they said that they have targets in some of the tunnels that have been used by how mass. i'm the when the target, the tunnel as fighters america, and then start firing at the is really is the see. it is a complex situation, particularly in con eunice, which of course has consider one of the strong points in gossip. but what is clear is that while they continue to face this level of opposition, this level of resistance, then their operation will continue for some time. and so while the united states may be suggesting that in the next week or so, it would be time to start winding the operation up and moving on to the next stage of fighting, which would be more targeted not quite as expensive. it was seen in the past 2 months, so that is, these families are going to continue fighting this war with the aims and that could

well be as you'll go on said at the start, it could be a little more. and the suggestion is that it will stay at the sort of level, at least until the middle of january next year. all right, thanks so much island fisher. they're now these ready mid trees carried out more raids and the rest of palestinians and they occupied westbank out of sydney and fights as exchange gun 5 was soldiers in the city of novelist in the north, early on sunday palestinians and is ready forces also forth in the city of can cut them for palestinian christians in the occupied westbank christmas celebrations the sierra muted because of the war on garza, this is a time when thousands of tourists would normally visit best man believes to be the best place of jesus christ. but it is need to abraham her faults instead of celebrating, and they are praying for peace. the christmas wars are buried knew how to do as he hums along this

traditional christmas carol in the lutheran church and bethlehem. but her sister lee was buried under the rubble. she was taking refuge in the greek orthodox church because as old as christian establishment, the church was hit in and is really bumping on october the 19th. my brothers went to let them church, but those sisters went to the growth of just the 1st showing was to degree both of those immediately. not as viewed as they said that i want to know immediately. she was under the the said, and they the way of looking for her and to stay and fold. oh, i understand that he had brothers rage didn't make it. no, it says he needed an urgent medical operation. but he could not get to a hospital do her comes to church to find sol as she gets support from the

community, even from those she doesn't know. a delegation of church leaders around the world travel to the occupied westbank to express their sympathy and started diety. god will not leave us alone. and so it's not easy for me to accept this because all my family i love these and that i'm not there, but even to go in with are born and raised in garza new, have married the palestinian from the occupied westbank. both her and her family need is really me to 3 permits to visit one another last time she was allowed into because i was 6 years ago. but it ain't was able to come to the occupied westbank knew how shows us how they stood in front of the christmas tree in bethlehem. a few years ago now has one brother, one injured sister, many cousins and family members and gaza. it's been a week since she lost her. it's from them. i don't accept my sense. does anybody

christmas? why my family are facing him on and the city is 6 pride that best live is considered the capital of christmas every year. a big tree is let's up to welcome pilgrim and to us from all over the world. this year, the lights haven't been turned on. there's no christmas tree as palestinian see, there's nothing to celebrate. as you can see, the major square is empty and the mood is that the frustration and sadness, but many here say they refuse to give up on hope, in the midst of the killing, suffering, and paid. it's the one thing left for them. is that but i came, i just need a bethlehem the occupied westbank only died. abraham joins us now live from best to be him and the that, judging by the seeing and i can just make out behind, you doesn't look like the the spirit has picked up much. yes,

i mean, let's show you the major squared now. huge with you at all and this time of the day is packed with people who are waiting for the scouts to arrive for the patrick to come to the, to the church to announce the beginning of celebrations of christmas. now today the decision was made that the religious rituals will continue, but also that abrasions have been cancelled. hello city and say they can not in any shape or form, celebrates while the fellow people in the besieged cause district are under bombardments. here in the west bank also, the situation is also complicated. and let's talk more about that with one citizen from bethlehem, an activist. lucy said g. a thanks for joining us. i would like to ask you, since you've been living here all your life, how do you compare best lem today with every other year? well, actually, bethlehem, there is no comparison between boston to him today. and before only one year

celebrations, the city used to be by to the full of people. but the due to the situation. actually it's really empty. mostly you will find, uh, press or some of the late people that they want to join. we've coming the best we are. and why is that is happening right now. actually, santa usually could come every christmas eve to give, give for the children's. what's our santa israel, alias time? every minutes every night. they are invading our houses to give us a gift for each family and what kind of gift actually, i think people demolition causes. so they left us with fear. they left us in the morning crying. and so the influx of the israel alias on us on many ways and they were here they is really forces in bethlehem last night.

reading homes, arresting one palestinian of police. so it's, it's not like the christmas gives a time for a break for palestinians that actually, that is the big wood. that is what it is. they are coming every night. and i think people, so basically the focus right now on god's the and there is no comparison between what's happening in gaza and the west bank, but also the westbank on fire. and i think people up to now i don't, more than 3000 present, noticed the out of i think so there is no break. a rick and you were also part of the palestinian community members who called for cancelling christmas celebrations . you know, it's a sab seeing here today, how do you feel about that decision? well, actually cancelling the testing, the, but not the counseling the christmas. and that's what the people they don't understand in between those 2 words. cons to going to the festivals which bring joy

and we coming jesus on that day. it's a joy for us and bring us the hope. but how to celebrate christmas an hour, the brothers and sisters and gods that they are living. in this situation, no food, no medicine, genocide displacement. and actually if you compare this to you would when coming jesus christ and before 2000 year when the holly family fleet from bethlehem to the not that it's from the killing of jesus displacements. and that's actually what's happening with the palestinians that running from place to place. you know, there's, it's advice and actually this is what's happening in gaza. the displacement of jesus christ before 2000 a year. it's happening again and again within the palestinian community. thank you . so much lucy said g, and also we've seen that comparison that she was talking to about palestinians in the artwork behind me here will tell us to be an artist thought up since that has

been saying that he rearrange the traditional majors seem to reflect images that palestinians have been seeing the coming out of gauze. thanks so much. and that is what i am the. the still ahead on al jazeera, the wrong response strikes these ations. it's involved in a tax on commercial ships in the red sea, turned out by who sees in yemen and will take you to the rule of town and mexico. that is renowned for its estimates. christmas ornaments, the to hello that. let's look at the southeast asian as an area of concern. thanks to a strengthening northeast suite, one soon it's pouring rain into the malay peninsula, some heavy falls in the days ahead and that stretches across into northern parts of

sumatra, indonesia. we don't like you to see some flooding that could be severe in places the worst of the rain on monday you can see the yellow pizza, but still on tuesday, some of those yellow peaks lingering around to the north of quite a lump up for the east of this rain still catching intercoastal areas of vietnam. we are things widespread showers, some of those lively for northern and central parts of the philippines. and it was, it had down on the to a stray of what so severe storms that are pushing their way across the south east towards the east coast. so there's a rumbling up to more northern areas of queens and bringing a threat of hail and possibly damaging wins as we go into christmas. you can see those very windy and wet conditions dominating for victoria as well as tasmania on monday. but there's some good news for the west. we think extreme heat for the likes of past 35 degrees celsius the on monday. by the time we get to choose day, however, a drop of 10 degrees 25 degrees with lots of sunshine. the,

[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the

of the, i'll come back time to recap on headlines now is ready for us is a showing no sign of scaling back that are offensive on gone. so despite growing international cools for a strain, at least $200.00 policy indians have been killed and over night strikes his way. the army says at least 13 soldiers have been killed in fighting in gauze or over the weekend. on saturday, as all suffered, one of its worst day the losses since the sound of the conflict in 8 soldiers dying . ministry is counted down more raised, some of the tensions of palestinians in the occupied west bank fights is exchanged fine with troops and several locations, including novelist the united states says it's shot down full drones, heading towards the us war shifts in the red sea. the us says they will launch from host

a controlled areas of yemen and targeted an american destroyer. they also say who with these 5 to and to ship ballistic missiles into the sea and the southern part of the international shipping lanes. the ron's foreign ministers rejecting us accusations that helped him into these attack vessels on the red sea. washington says to her on this, providing drones miss solves and tactical intelligence the government settle. huffman was able to trade on him in his officially declared his position. it's official spokesman repeats their actions daily demons moving the red sea is complete. you have any move in support of gaza and this american accusation about involvement is a baseless accusation against the islamic republic. regarding the issue of the coalition of the red sea. i think the americans before trying to create a coalition that will not help the situation should stop genocide or crimes and human siege and force migration of gaza residence to areas in egypt and jordan in the future. as in the dreams of this fake and his real resume, don't host

a fight is all continuing to attack ships travelling near the babylon, mandab stripe. that's a narrow sea passage between them and, and to booty that connects the indian ocean and the red sea. but sol solved us out . has mol, from jew boutique for several countries, have minutes re bases, including the us war on guys that is not on the original moore that's happened in between our mazda and israel bodies having a global verification. so a contact on spokesperson said that on saturday, a drones struck an oil tanker in the indian ocean and she said that the throne, the incident happened a 200 of musical miles from the cost of india. and he says that that one was a one way attack to them directly fired from the wrong. and so this is coming right off the, the official saying that you run into attacks that are conducted by louise in the

red sea and also the united kingdom maritime trade. information said that at dawn was low on a russell that was cruising through the red c a for the after that, it explored it. so it's not could be whether it was trying to attack the wessel or whether it was contacting them should be as active as the flat spring use some of the days of the news. now, one of the leading presidential candidates in the democratic republic of congo says a general election held on wednesday should be an old, moist good to me, cited massive fraud in the poll. other opposition candidates have also called for a protest next week. this catherine sawyer reports from contrast to the public is on easy about what could happen next. presidential election results from the dashboard

r r e. they say by the incumbent leaks to security. but it's 2 oddly to gauge a trend to determine who's weighting these on site at times. in the dra, c is observed as from the car to center, have released a statement saying several people were killed in the lead up to the pull on the deal will remind you what the 4th think process was says and get this late. and 21 polling station i think with serious irregularities, observed and civil and of them this, that the presence of the mid to pick 10 of election, the pro cd measure meet the opposition. the to see the election is a some and they reject the results. people in good shaw saw are worried about the outcomes. what about the the government is to blame. we need proper roads to avoid the logistical problems we saw on voting day to the last election was more organized. i know we can't have a perfectly election,

but this was not good. many companies are auditors way, think about what has been going on and some say the feel that they've come, he added, you said i'll just be around in the anti immigrant alternative for germany policies hoping to build on an electro breakthrough off the winning its 1st my or contest and the largest in town. dominic came reports from to now. for many germans, winter is a time for christmas markets and in that sense, po now is no exception. but in another sense, it's unique because this town has just selected as it's matt tim last amendment open links to the far right policy. alternative for germany. many people here on sure what to make of it. so i think it's okay that finally someone else is in the job that they might have a different perspective from the main parties,

but maybe things will change here soon. well, i'm cuz i was the decide that this happened. let's see how things turn out a. tim lock that will take office here in the town hall in february representing a moment of trying to him personally, but also for the if day, this is the 1st may oh election victory in this country. it's also a demonstration of the strengths, particularly here in the old east germany. what on the list says it's profiting from the main stream parties, errors the best labor today for the 50 would be for the entire green or the entire vote party in germany. and because of green politics will no longer appreciate this, that's much by a big percentage of german population. and being volk, is not very attractive. most germans, eva,

on average. the policy is pulling around 30 percent across what was the old east germany. but in 3 states were important to elections on to you in september. it's a leading stomach all the way out of the crisis is to return to reason stopping off migration by closing the borders and ends migration magnets such as citizens benefits, basic charge protection, passport, fraud, and residency for everyone who comes here. the main stream potties of always ruled at working with the alternative for germany on any level, but that was when it was struggling to win votes. now it's hard to, to ignore this election so nice. there are many are really, will be a really devastating moment. i think for germany, because we will see that there will be governments which can only be billed by an old party coalition against the of this on the surface life in eastern germany is calm,

but it's clear the tide of far right. populism is rising. here. september's elections will show us how high dominant cane al jazeera piano. i am out of town tucked away in rural southwest. mexico has become an international christmas powell house. it has 450 workshops all dedicated to one thing, creating a dazzling array of gloss, christmas baubles. every day. john holman went to see some of them. it's the mexican towns where it's christmas every day. supple how hidden in the country southwest, the mountains. everyone else might be just getting ready for the holiday season now . but here they've been up to 2 years, turning out 35000000 christmas is from january to december. the your, the, the pride of cloud was our stairs, where they're a piece of our heart in our understanding it from the glass blowers to the painters . all of us put
