fifths battles taking place in the central gauze of between his right forces and ham us fights is civilians all paying a heavy price. a 150 people have been killed in the past day. but these ready army has announced they will reduce a troop, number's fighting and gaza. the army says the move will help the economy, pedigrees manual in the some of the reserve as soldiers will return to their families and their jobs this week. this will allow significant relief for the economy and will allow them to gather strength ahead of the coming activities in the next year fema. now the us navy has killed 10 who the fights is off to the group attacked to contain a ship in the red sea. well, the 100 drone and missile attacks have been carried out on vessels passing through the vital shipping lane it since november. i thought it was soon is live in rough. i in southern garza for so todd, for the 1st of all, tell us about the latest attacks and particularly the ones on the refugee camps in

as much as the annual site. that's yes. uh, the tax software is the gaza strip continues, and the of the last day of the 2023 were palestinians happening on the white military attacks by the use of i leave for says we clearly understand that to the middle areas of the gaza strip have been a widely attacked by the use very forces where the onto the re shooting of these areas did not stop since the early hours of today's morning. and also the residents that have been informing us that the as rarely met it. treats strikes, did not stop, were in different by exactly around a full palestinians being killed alongside with those and others who have been injured. and this is completely considered to be a wonderful the wide attacks that have been carried out today. you. similarly, the situation you've called you this continues where the military attacks against these areas has been intensified. we're only inside you this more than 30 pounds

city is being killed since the 80 hours of today's morning of this is completely had been also researching to during the last couple of days where the usability forces are right now. making a very please checked in the military operations from the north, towards the middle at southern costs of the garza strip as more regains by the is where the military had been mobilized to take full control of a 100 a subject. now these ongoing military attacks has increased. the numbers of the kind of thing is being killed to more than 21000 palestinians, including 9000 child alongside with more than 6000 women since october. the sun thought apple, i zoom in rough. i thank you, and that was we've been reporting these ready? all me says summers of this will be coming home from gaza this week. these way the government hoping to reduce the strain on the economy of the how much does a tank on october 7th, israel cooled up hundreds of thousands of troops. let's speak now to laura khan,

who is in occupied east jerusalem for us. so laura, what more we hearing on this decision by the, is every metric? well, that was amazing. all for service soldiers with the is ready for says chief chief of stuff has of how to be in a place called culture, which is just outside of con eunice. now he festival reiterated to them that they will be supported by what he says the strongest possible. find now he might well be alluding to a lot of criticism coming from minnesota that haven't been enough. s o i power. supposing soldiers inside the gaza strip, he also said that the kibbutz near alls with the offensive from her mouth all not good books. on october, the 7th was planned from tulsa, and he said he's going to begin to organize the security situation that he might

well be trying to pay people's minds. is to have to come back to the kibbutz. it's because it's been such a mass movement of people around $250000.00 people seem displaced from out the south of israel and also the north. but he did also say that this uh, the continued war and gone. so it will continue in to 2024, possibly throughout the year is ready. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has reaffirmed that idea that they will prolong this war. so i, they was a little cabinet meeting this evening. we haven't got much information from that. yes, we do that they were discussing the way the captives. there's a 129 people kept inside garza, i know he's been under a huge amount of pressure. that's been thousands of it's res, protesting almost on a daily basis to hold a seats 5 and bring back those captives. so we haven't yet had a decision. um,

we know there's been some mediation efforts, particularly from egypt, but also from kata and some pressure from the us. however, as i said before, he is now read applying some of those troops at the moment in the occupied westbank . that all only is ready was of his operating that in that day the rates as you have been continuing. so it's likely, but he's now trying to pull out the reserve us from costs in order to stimulate the economy, the tech sector and the agriculture sector. have been really badly affected as people have been leading the phones and they usually rely on the workforce from the occupied west side and also gone. so, but the main point is that both the cheapest stuff and also nothing. yahoo says this for is going to be prolonged. that's we're entering into the new year. this is at 5 reality for the people in gauze. that means that the, the s like the operations will continue your account in occupied east jerusalem.

thank he was bringing pull rogers now in bradford, in the u. k emeritus professor of peace studies at the university of bradford. good talk to you again. so just tell us, 1st of all, what do you make of these moves by these ready ministry? it was a surprise, i think would be an expectation of these writers would maintain that total strengths of troops and gaza for as long as possible. but it looks like we're now learning the substance evening is there are some quite severe pressure is developing on these right economy. so, so they want to release public quite a few of the reserve as troops to go back to the jobs. if you have people who are important i t job, so a professional job to run software. no, but it could be a problem if they are actually alto operation for 68 to 10 or more weeks. and i think that's probably the reason there is an implication and what they say, although you can never be sure what the idea is giving you the full story was an

indication that in fact, the try just scale down. been trying to strip the war. that does not fit in with what is happening on the ground because in the northern about because it's fights of apparently being controlled in the cherry tree. they're still having problems as real time as units. but in the south that pulling more troops in. so it does know that out very well, but it does say the pressure is coming from the states that these rad economy and the impact of goods on war economy, which are becoming really quite tricky. and this is one of the idea of responses and where the, uh see this going on developing and as we get into into 2024, i mean this wars has gone on for, for several weeks now with no laptop insight. you know, not mean there was an expectation this at the end of that pause 2 or 3 weeks ago. so might be a low level of, of roll, fairly low level strikes. but if anything is the opposite,

do what is happening. i was saying, and in terms of at the ground, how old is on an hourly basis with a very high just raise on the promise to new side. it looks like these really depends pulses under the leadership and directly it doesn't yahoo! in no sense coming from broke, but they're going to do as much time as to how much does they can, as long as the able of the constraints may well come alternately from the united states. well, the other few of those so thought started that sentence is really a question of doing as much time are you still have us? and frankly, following the traditional to he adult french and causing the maximum degree of difficulty folders, the surrounding civilian population. but seeing that on an almost out throughout basis, particularly the destruction of the hospitals and medical center has a lot of things, seems to be the way they think. the, the only way that they connect is sold because a problem outsourced to speak to you as a rather crude language is to come by intense wolfram games. thomas with printing

and transactions which are impacting the wider community. it's not unlike what are those some, some other countries have done in other was we're going to have to say that the case of israel is perhaps cause, well frankly, the most experience of doing this getting right back to that routine. 1982. so that's where we are as a bad project, some time to bank, but i think there's a come to go on until by to and that was the only post degree to do it decides was enough, is enough. and more or less of the structure is right, is that they're going to have to find another way out as well says that its goal is to destroy how much the county county really do that, especially when you consider how much is, is not just a group it's a, it's, it's a move and it's an idea on mobile. that's if you assume the how much original actions on october, the 7th, what designed to provoke a major is really reaction. i mean, that is a terrible series of things named is the impact on israel, which seems to be quite a secure in itself beforehand that's being fundamental moments. never forget that.

but that centurylink, how much was planning to get these rate is to go to war against the been always right. how is it so was very well prepared. i'm talking about the scene emitted for leadership, political interest over the haven't, as might take a different view that may be differences that, but the senior leadership basically takes the do. so this is the right way forward and this right is responding as they would expect this rate is to respond. so what do i have to said a few people involved with this or the stop, which is what i was actually done. obviously the project news actually pulling into a trap of the results in human terms already. pretty dreadful, already. good to get your uh, perspectives. uh, pull rogers. thank you. thank you. at least the 10 who the fighters have been killed in an attack by the us military, all 3 of the boats in the southern red sea. the hoody vessels had assaulted a mess containing a ship, and the us responded to his distress. cool. who the 4th is off targeting ships in

the red sea to prussia, israel into a cease fight and gaza pentagon spokesman and john cubby says the us will defend international trade, or we're gonna have, do we have to do to protect shipping? number 2, we've got significant national security interest in the region just on our own, the united states. and we're going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interest. and we're going to act in self defense going forward. again. i'm not ruling anything in or out, but we have made it clear publicly to the who these we've made, clear privately to our allies and partners. and the reason that we take these threat seriously and we're going to make the right decision is going forward. hope the military spokesman has warned the other countries not to interfere in germany affairs in the red sea. the. yes, the, the american enemy shall bear the consequences of this crime. their military movement in the red sea to protect is really ships will not prevent human from carrying out its religious humanitarian and ethical duty to support the people of gaza. we call upon all countries not to follow this dangerous cause of the us,

the consequences of which will touch everyone. on another note, with the grace of god, our you. many forces were successful in performing an operation in targeting a container ship that was heading to israel as a consequence of the crew. not responding to our warnings. who with the attacks have mostly hit ships near the bed, the men deb straight. that's a narrow sea passage between yemen and you booty that connects the indian ocean. and the red sea that i saw said don, has more from 2 booty with several countries, including the us military bases. since the beginning of the escalation in the rest, the, this is the 1st time the 4th. these are confirming that their members or death killed by the usa, and they're seeing that us. that's the full responsibility. and the costs are curious as to what does that mean, whether it is a hands for retaliation or a he's for more actions and operations. a guest west was an even a guest,

the american forces that is not clear yet. but what is clear is that the usa is increasing is naval the presence here, and it is determined to keep the above and mental states open. so for that is not the case. the many time traffic has dropped by up to 40 percent. that is a remarkable number. on the other hand with these are seeing that they have nothing to do with the ships that are nothing leakage round the best target to fall under the ship that are heading toward israel or coming from israel. and they said that they will not stop attacking the shift that the link to is around until israel stop killing in gaza. on the other hand, the usa is not stepping back. so the question here is whether this is going to remain in a defensive position for in case of retaliation, is going to change the position and shift into an offensive one. if do i say remains in a defensive position, there's not much change to expect this year. however, if it starts to be offensive,

that could potentially 3 good, a full fledged, more steve of region, and that is the fear and grooming concerns. individual companies here as well. and they say that if that happens, if the us start to retaliate with these, not only in the right seat, but in yemen as well for the war, could savage the region christmas set that up to 0. or these really ami has launched a new strikes on southern lebanon plains of spoke, rose in the as is really soldiers was seen filming the off the mass. it is the latest in a series of attacks between these really ami i've has bull across the board. at least a 179. people had been killed on both sides since october 7th, including $23.00 lebanese and civilians. are the hash, him has this update from southern 11 on his last deputy leader named costs. and one is right. it's not in the position to impose its conditions on his lot and that

it's not going to come out with any gains from this war. and that for the residence of know these rise to get back to that homes. the war on guys should stop with israel's escalation targeting civilians. this means the response will be stronger and proportionate to the is riley aggression. once we have taken a decision to be in a states of will and confrontation on the southern from so that to 9 cross and speech game just few days before how sudden this roll of a weighted speech of the said of genuine, it's thought that crossing is setting the scene for a new stance from having the full however, the situation on the board, the is still tense with eyes is really war. planes have lost several strikes on different towns on the board included rom. yeah. with several explosions. what had also towards the east in quite a killer and you bane which goes it goes to us yet in the end let bony with

a couple of midsize from a drone launch has the la claimed responsibility for several of docs on his ray. the targets and positions launching rockets and antique tank guided midsize on the how should i just, you know, look what i saw 7 the the all right. taking a look at some of the days of the news now of present felix just of katie has been declared the winner of the presidential election and democratic republic of congo. opposition policies though, according for protests and a rerun shooting, katie, a ride that his party headquarters off the winning was 73 percent of the vote. countries election commission has been criticized for his handling of the voting process and the counting. katherine story is in contrast with the latest supporters of president phenix to see katie, how come out to celebrate this?

because the reason does not come as a surprise. we so the president of the, the, uh, from the start has 16000000 votes against moist to the us troll. yes competitor. he has 3000000 and we don't have chrome opposition leaders, particularly the presidential candidate to say that they reject those results. they say that the election is a sham, they say that they will not even go to court to contest their results because they believe that they believe that this constitutional court and the judges are compromised, so they will not get justice. so they say that they are asking their support is to come out to the street. um, you know, protests and to just to show how disappointed they are to that. and we have

seen some, you know, deployment of security forces us to areas that are seen to be a position. so a lot of probably the have been phone lines of the selection. some of them say that they believe that the a pause as not, they are free. all said they feel that the uh paul ease uh, not credible a we have been speaking to observe us particularly uh, the charge that's been observed was across the country. and they said that there was a lot of iran irregularities and the laptop kamisha needs to look into that. now the commission itself say that they have taken note of those concerns. but they believe that the, those incidents of irregularities are not enough to hold the tongue. the

electra, this particular presidential results. catherine saw all the 0 contests . gregory and table cell to is a full, a member of the you and group of experts on the democratic republic of congo. he says there are many concerns over the way the election was one to the fact that the opposition is decided not to go to the constitutional court, but to send it. support is out of the streets, does set things up for confrontation with the security forces. and we'll have to see whether they can mobilize significant numbers of people. this, what i need to work is a strategy. if you get millions of people thousands of people, i would cut it any anyone's hiding. that'd be numerous problems with the conductive, despite i mean to have a type of 6 days to have the fact that these both are cards in many cases couldn't be read by the machines. so they did it manually. that electro rouse when published

. they're not going to be publishing results by testing station results from 11000 . i think bating stations i took the 85000 haven't been received yet. um. so they're huge problems and there's lots of grounds, but we have room for the opposition to say these resolves to reflect what happened . i think what the district k these camp is going to be saying is, yeah, that's the problems. but look, i go 73 percent, it sounds a little out of me, even though that some problems i still with. and i suspect the international communities get a go along with that to the united nations peacekeeping mission in molly is officially ending on sunday, after a decade long presence with more than 300 peacekeepers killed. it was one of the u, as deadliest operations. how does the mohammed reports. 6 6 6 the un peacekeeping mission, loan of municipal what's meant to stabilize the magic and put the width of the can

country on the pop the democracy. but as it's supposed, as lead by my quote, using the hands of military generals on several groups of activity in the country. if we, with 2565050 bridging the gap between what we were authorized, simple when it comes to protecting c williams for that and security. and what really, but to do that needs to be a page that like it, that's what it means that we did not do a lot. we did a lot, but definitely it was beautiful expectations and bureau that meets the mission was the you and 2nd was told the number of deaths among groups of 10 lebanon with 31050 plus killed and more than $700.00 engine. it was established in 2013 of the rebels sees the northern part of the country and threatened to take over the capitol. 15 countries, including china and germany, contributed more than $15000.00 personnel. but despite the presence violence has

continued embody, including from isolated, thus nearly doubled the territory under its control. the c a s plus tens of thousands of civilians from their homeless and all the adults that dash, i still broke us. they didn't leave us any live stock or household goods. they even took our blankets. they took away everything that was essential to our lives that and they killed the many people. the melodies, military government is building closer ties with russia on the button. i must admit of group last month to seize control of $2.00. a northern thought we flooded rentals had to sell for almost a decade. in june, malice, military accused municipal was sending security in the country, looters, law, municipal, somebody living in. unfortunately, most most seems to have become part of the problem by fuel and community tensions. accessor baited by extremely serious allegations, which are highly detrimental to a piece reconciliation and national cohesion involving logic. one,

cbs young u. n. to sleep on groups. and um, you have started fighting over the basis lift by the peacekeepers, which civilians put in the middle. hands him him. just 0. as a russia says, attacking the lowest on the cleaning and city of hockey was in response to ukraine hitting the city of bell going on on saturday. the targets included a hotel, a housing ukrainian ministry, come onto your cleaning a saw at the site. 28. people have been injured. i bank reports from keith to waive the rest and strikes, talk to ukraine, 2nd largest city hockey authorities to address and strikes hit the center of the city rates on saturday night. i mean the, the hours of sunday the present russian made for us this new yes. they adult souls simply talk souls, they boom residential areas. there were people here. how can one do such a things?

the latest news as it breaks, echo is, is not only concerned about the possibility of low cost. and the reason is, worry, take good proximate with detail coverage less than 2 weeks. central office being criticized so behaving more like a number of precedents from around the world since the start of the war, a vast number of small a voluntary groups have sprung. get to big. they don't have the result of big organization the i'm mary m. shaheen. filmmaker and i've been working in and around concert for 30 years. as i watched the 2023 devastation of concept ideas rarely army. i looked back at the place, i knew the optimism of 2005 when he is released to the destruction of the wars. the echoes of the wall sconces fainted. hopes on al jazeera,

integrating the coming year. i really hope that the, remember for a 2nd our situation and this it to them here. israel's war and gaza has laid waste not only to human lives and infrastructure, but also to the territories heritage of the spanish. for centuries, the grand amadi mosque and northern gaza is now in ruins. following his rarely strikes, it is barely recognizable, but for its famous minarets the whole so were just to revel all the historic samara boss that they back to the altima year. they've been the only functioning, took his boss and gaza, and will consider the place for people to relax and heal the elements. and the cost of betcha, also known as passes palace is another cultural landmark has been. most of the palace consisted of 2 buildings built by the mama nukes and the ultimate is before the war and gauze of thought. if it was a museum, receiving thousands of visitors a year is best. somebody is president of the heritage for peace. it's

we work in conflict when we were to see of you and you have been in so darn, but we never had. so like that a while this year has seen on unprecedented death and destruction in gauze and many hoping the will will end soon. i just said it has been asking displaced palestinian children about their hopes and wishes for the new year. to me, as soon as the them has a page of the as we stand as a, as the 1st of the i'm sure as on 9 feeds, we sound like you out of it. none of the kids in the 0 with the the high shift and the dusty which one and the colors and have all as yeah. have you yeah. i love estate. yeah. yeah. that's the kind of the 7 mean. yeah, i mean, i said when you yeah, it's you,

um uh in the next the stand is and that's kind of this is how do val avenue is now natalie? a lot of the movie i love, you know then and i'm home because i have or say i'm a model and if i just services a nation will luck is will sure. will know the i actually was able in yesterday to have in the colors and had news. and how do i know that that and them had been labatte nation sled the lead the i'll choose some of the it's still a head on august the at austin will miss out on the jobs to go into the new. yeah. the top of the, primarily, all the like this policy is for the feature coming,

the on counting the cost. what lies ahead for the global economy as inflation of interest rates remain high, china is facing deflation was price is full power flooding growth, the effect of wells far. how is rails war on gaza is impacting energy and shipping kind of thing, the cost on how to 0. those guys are the 10 units can use it, but they went to this location. what about animals treatments? time people are going to die. homes destroyed in brooklyn city, an area that is supposed to be safe. longstanding is really policy. just shoot anything that moves. there aren't any sit varies in garza. my supposed to sleep on the street with my children. there's no protection, there's no safe space. this printer is going to be an acute problem, but a stimulus of living on the desktop. people crowded in very small areas with a lot of diseases from the north to the south,

nowhere and district the say the the hello. yeah, north korean leader kim dylan has ordered the military to prepare its nuclear off know in case will break south with south korea in and the us he was addressing a meeting of the ruling party. he said a piece, reunification with the south can never be achieved. you're just getting reports from so is no longer shared 10 or blood but to hospital nations. at hor, that's how leader came to now describes north korea's view of south korea. countries

2023 has been a pretty challenging year for trying to chase me because of a slowing economy brought on by years of strict cove and looked down and more recently, 5 growing property crisis. so it's no surprise, but chinese president decisions being used at his new address as an opportunity to riley the nation. he listed china as achievements of the year, including building its own launch, passenger across and hosting important international summit and events such as the asian game. now he also spoke in broad terms on china's role in the world. he talked about wanting to build a community with a shared vision, and he said, piece and development we made the way i had put on the issue of taiwan. he was a lot more specific. he said taiwan and china will post shortly, be re unified. and so what was most unusual in his new, your address is that he spoke specifically about the challenges that china face your,

from your you should tongue we up on tween content wins some enterprises and had a tough time. some people had difficulty finding jobs. we don't have the meeting basic needs, some places where he by floods, type phones, earthquakes, and other naturally the last is the fact that he's mentioned this in his new address shows how seriously the government is viewing china's economic slow down. there is high youth unemployment rate. the property twice is far from being contained, appears to be spreading. analysts say china could be facing decades of stagnation and ordinary stimulus measures may not be enough to fix the problems. when challenges include an aging population and weak productivity rates, florida 3 alger 0, patient tourism has long been one of the drivers of cuba is economy. but the full out from a steve trump and visit to numbers is forcing more people to lead the countries supply. the downturn,

the state run tours in body is building more hotels from ivana latin america to alicia newman reports in the have them and neighborhood available. 30 people lived in this woods, pushed 2 story house. it's literally flowing to pieces. this resident tells me his mother was killed with one of these wouldn't beams fell on top of her. they let me take a quick look inside where that makeshift staircase feels equally unstable. i've been living here since 1994 trying to get a proper dwelling, but there is nothing everywhere you look homes built for the 1959 revolution are collapsing yet simultaneously a construction boom is underway. not for public housing, but for hotels. last year is a norm, as new hotels were not rated and other 5 will be opened by december and more will
