a possible must read is a children's playground. also a head cold hungry and no sign of more a being allowed in palestinian struggles to survive as israel continues to target areas right across because the 60 vote threshold having been achieved. the bill is past the us avoids and other governments shut down after the senate approve the funding bill for the next 3 months. the police in germany have rated a house in connection with the car ramming attack on a christmas market that killed at least 4 people. the suspect was arrested at the scene shortly after his car plowed into a crowded market in the eastern city of magda burge, he has been living about 40 kilometers south of the city. more than 60 others were injured in the attack. the security cameras are the same,

capture the moment the car rammed into the crowd. this is authorities identified the suspect as a 50 year old doctor, originally from saudi arabia. he 1st came to germany in 2006 and was previously unknown to security services. the german chancellor old f shows has been visiting the scene in magda berg. city is about a 160 kilometers west of the capital overland. it's christmas market attracts thousands of holiday shoppers every year. after that was done, when it came is inactive burg, dominic i'm, i'm keeping an eye as i believe you are on the microphones and the cameras that are awaiting some kind of statement or many preston press conference by the german chancellor. if that happens as well, you and i are speaking, we'll come straight to that for now though, can you please tell us what we found out since the attack that occurred last night? 7 pm local time. what we found out about the circumstances and about the suspect to the sailor as well. before i do this,

when mr. shots speaks, they will be directly behind me, this line to police officers and then behind that off all the microphones where he will come and speech and we're expecting him to try his solid hours. so you can, missouri, sions, all those sorts of things, which many politicians have been doing in so far as the investigation is concerned regarding the individual who was apprehended on friday night was as far as that is concerned, as you say. so it was the prophecy and bound book was rated in the early hours of the morning german time using a drone on a robot because the offices wanted to be sure about what might be in that they didn't find anything explosive or anything else indicating of the criminality until they left the scene. having established it was safe. other elements though about this individual. yes, he came here in 2006 from saudi arabia, a man 50 years old, adopt qualified in psychotherapy and psychiatry. he had been working in different

hospital seeping, working in a prison, dealing with criminals who have drug addictions, but also he had an online profile. and in his online profile, he would post things about his views about islam, saying that he was someone who was opposed to it at all. so he had given interviews to of the news agencies, certainly here in germany, one particular prestigious newspaper interview, this individual in 20. 19, in the interview, he described himself as the biggest enemy as it were, of the faith of islam. so lots of information coming that separately. this individual on his online profile, retracing posts about the far right policy, the alternative to germany, and jim the if day, one particular retreat praising the lead candidate for that policy in the coming general election. so lots of different information being reported by different

sources about this individual. but the way of messes he's in custody and the police now have the opportunity to try to build information about some his movements. how's you to get that? hi, a call that was used to drive into this market around where i am right now. what did other people know of access people? the sources say that the police say he was acting alone, but did other people know about him? could they have information that might be relevant to the inquiry that office is all leading? right. that there clearly is still a lot to find out about this, not only the person himself, but his motivations. he's a savvy doctor, you say, who is expressed publicly opposition to islam and support for germany's far right parties don't came. we're gonna leave it there for now. and i know you'll keep an eye on or that schultz is movements. thank you very much, dominic the,

the us is taking a step towards legitimize thing, the new story and administration by meeting its liter um at al serra senior middle east, diplomat barb relief led the delegation to damascus for the 1st engagement between washington and the new leadership after the meeting, she confirmed that the us is lifting a $10000000.00 bounty on sharah, who is the head of the group hyatt, definitely russian, which they us consider as a terrorist organization. least says washington will also consider lifting sanctions on syria. if the new leadership demonstrates progress, both parties agreed to work together to find during the list austin tice and other american citizens who went missing during the show of the sides rule. which is 0 is how can i help our reports from damascus is behind those, those the defacto authority is trying to put together and you transition roadmap. and on this, the all sorts of debates about how to move forward and what could be the risk the

country could encounter. there were 2 options. people close to him by the seller who is the fact to root out of syria, told him, listen, you are the one who has been quite a good guest since 2012. you are the one who put together an administration in the pot and said, well, well for many serious are you are the one who love this push to sweep into it all the po, how about homes and then damascus. and you have to have all the ones who control most of these areas that for you are serious. the president who said, give me some time, we need to do it in a different way. we have to have to sit patient because they so what's the old voice coming to the baskets and things that's one of the 3 requisites. hold them to recognize the new authorities hold with authority to hand over power to a civilian government. and to give my knowledge is a biggest say, and this explains why the conic now for these national companies. but i have to say about a size meeting with the americans yesterday was why it's

a significant force for him, for i up to how to get a sense and for the prospect of a smooth transition into democracy when it was meant to be at the put sense of 4 by then turns this like it happens in libya, but they say we should give it a try. in the state of tens of thousands of prisoners and missing people, remains one of the most harrowing aspects of the syrian conflict between 220112020 . for more than half a 1000000 people were killed in the war. the syrian network for human rights believes another 150000 are missing and comparison and roughly 40000 people disappeared during the war in bosnia herzegovina. the international commission on missing persons in the hague says that there may be as many as 66 mass graves sites in syria and more being discovered options. there was a sound, a venture of aid reports from 10 am on a neighborhood in damascus. a warning is report contains disturbing details and

images even in broad daylight. this is a dock potters, of the former regime laid bare in the streets and shows of what used to be holmes. this is the dumb neighborhood which people here say it wasn't execution site. a square kilometer kills a little different mazda 5 shot i have. they tell us about domestic code on the street. in 2013 dozens were executed. people know for sure, because the perpetrators felt themselves doing it. the, the footage was the years later. local said, the execution is very from assad's military intelligence is about a minute. the national defense forces either monday, soldiers pick up the street and through blank and government into a trench and shop them. one after the other. young and full were brought to the trench and killed when regime soldiers smoked loft. we've gone through the full

video because it's to goose and beyond that, french people keep finding bones. the entire neighborhood feels like an open graveyard. that looks like somebody's pelvis, a job on these appear to be human, remains collected by children and local residents here. when they find them, they collect them in one spot, and then they go and bury them with this as have been coming forward describing to us the orders of things which happened into them and they say it was just one massacre. it'd be massacres in every street at every block, every, every minute that i was born by the sides, but in power. he says the shot of the soft skills has some bad. yeah, they have to many attempts. we received him and buried. i saw it. you can imagine how many people were killed like my son, if they detained anyone here he or she will not come out to light. this block was

surrounded by concrete and are in barriers. his other son was also arrested, but after his release he fits syria and now lives in jim. had i've moved on just to do much of to lead to heart. hasn't seen him more than a dickey high that'd be it was internally one muscle that would doesn't, there were bodies in every block. they killed many people, those coming, those torches displaced and killed us and tell them on how much this 14 years old. and he's memorize the names of the former regime, segregation there's, why are you not in school? this is no such because it's not how school is closed. so i stop learning, i'll stay here and they can make money. i also throw away the bones, so the docs on come and it goes to a sub syria, potential mas graves are playgrounds, as well as the torture and executions. there are numerous higher stories from the

dumber, and this is just one neighborhood. the mass graves are open and the evidence hasn't been preserved. it will take years if not decades for savings through here and for justice to be served. some of the driver does is 0. the dumb, damascus. the, the northern garza has been under and is really military siege for more than 70 days now. and the latest the strike was in the i'll shut the refugee camp where 3 people were killed. an internet and phone charging point was targeted. it is the only place in the camp where palestinians can connect to the outside world. and it's really a strike on a home in jamalia killed at 12 palestinians from the same family. 7 of them were children, civil defense workers had to dig through the rubble with their bare hands to search

for survivors. unicef has worn to the children and gaza are quote, cold, sick and traumatized un agency for children, one to the 96 percent of women and children are not able to meet their basic nutritional needs. it follows months of warnings of immune and fam news trip. israel has only allowed a small fraction of the humanitarian a needed in 2011. right. i swear i'm running away from my tense so that my children don't ask me for a length of bread is not you have time for i'm going to deliver the flower flowers too expensive to buy. it costs 100 shekels, who has a 100 chuckles a day? if i want to prepare bread for the children, 100 shackles a day, come on. and i also don't have any income. i'm a lawyer, but unfortunately now there is no work to be run to a 100. and so around 2 and a half months i haven't has any flour. and so far we haven't received emergency aid . i've been running to the charities since 6 o'clock in the morning and i've not

got anything. here is the parts. it's 70 ways. what the ridge is, the senior communications officer for an why the u. n. agency for palestinian refugees. she told alpha 0 that the humanitarian response to the war and gaza was strangled because of his real siege. the children, families, they do not have enough food. whenever all food supplies it see the bridge or is lentils, there's no nutrition. there's no a vegetables or fruit and it's miserable. it's, it's beyond mr. food, any time we go to own we're shelters. the 1st thing people asked for, see, they need absolutely everything. children. i a crying in the corner because they want a piece of bread and we really are just talking about right shit. this isn't enough for the entire population to survive on having a lot of children malnourished. a lot of children getting sick, drinking even does the water, as well as a shortage of clean water supplies. children and getting sick with appetite is a,

with diarrhea that's suffering skin infections. this has been going on for weeks and months and it's how much the humanitarian response is absolutely strong. but because we cannot get enough supplies into the people we need to, there's not enough se facilitation of the age into the gaza strip. 69 percent of buildings have been damaged or destroyed. so how are we going to bring in aid where the roads, the roads are filled with rubble. they've been found, they've been hit and strikes. there's only so many pas. you can take a lot of the area around the largest posting is, is taken over by criminality by using and this is something we've orange about since the rapid crossing fluids. this is something that we have been seeing repeatedly warning. people do not have enough. we've watched a months on end as children go through the powers of trash to try and find that next new. it's absolutely inhumane. the conditions that are being forced to the cause of the is ready and proceed. it's unacceptable. this miss aisle fired from

the admin has landed near a public park in tel aviv the is really ministry says it tried but failed to intercept the mis medical sources. say at least 14 people sustained a minor injuries. the who sees have repeatedly launch missiles towards israel since the war and gaza began in what they say is solidarity with palestinians and gaza. before there was even time to get out the door is exploded and ballistic lasalle in the dark building. and all the windows blew in on the 1st 2nd floor of the whole area. and it was very frightening the whole season yet and claimed responsibility for the attack. so the missile force of the many armed forces with the help of god targeted on his really ministry target to not to pipe jeff or with the ballistic missile. the missile tickets targets with precision and

the defensive and deceptive systems failed to come through. with this significant operation, the many armed forces salutes are great. so you, how many people you took to the squares and field simon, confrontation and defiance against the criminal is really enemy to. this will turn to that top story. dominic cane is in mag newberg in germany. we were telling you a short while ago just been an attack. it was 7 pm last night. local time car ramming attack on a christmas market. there. dominic we told her of yours that the german chancellor would be speaking. i see that he's speaking now. you already have some updates. what can you tell us? yeah, he's been speaking. he's just behind in the subscriber's media and police offices around the microphones where he has been speaking, saying 5 that now more than 200 people were wounded, injured in this incidents, he says, the christmas market, there's no way more peaceful or should be more peaceful in germany at this time of

the been a christmas market where people come to enjoy themselves. and yet this is what he said, a tragic, terrible incident that has afflicted the city. this country is still speaking to members of the news media. next to him is the prime minister of the state of saxony on how to find a house. i'll have to say, i also saw just a few minutes ago, the leader of the conservative opposition. us christian, democrats, fleet, division, mouse who is also here and is also looking at was, has actually happened here. but let's repeat what we know already missed a shot saying 5 dead more than 200 people injured in this instance. faulty one of that number are considered to be fast for that. so they say in german that approximates loosely in english tour, a critical condition. and the man who is suspected of having done it adult to 50 year old man from saudi arabia, who's been in this country for an 18. yes. been acting as a doctor,

specializing in psychiatry, working in hospitals, working in prison with prisoners criminals who have addiction problems but who had been posting things online for many years about his view. he is very critical of islam. one of the things that he is reported to have told us the news media many years ago about how he tried. he wanted to help people to leave saturday or a view to make it easier for them to claim asylum in this country. lots of things being reported. facts in so far as we know them well at 4 o'clock, chapman time, that's 15 gmc, we expect police and prosecutors in the city to give a news conference at which hopefully we will get more facts about why this investigation is going on. what more they know about the man responsible for this, this incident, this attack? so dominic, the german chancellor, still speaking just meters behind you,

and i'm sure there are details that you'll bring us a little later when you can catch up with what he's saying. but how do you think this is going to percolate through german politics because you have an election. okay. a laugh sholtes and told yeah, we see it. life is just done. done speaking. how do you think this is gonna percolate through german politics because you have an election just around the corner? yeah, it's just literally, just behind me the, as you can see, nashville, talking to the news media with the prime minister of the states. that fact that the conservative leader of the christian democratic freighters mounts is here to well he had said in the book to sign in the german palmer in the course of the week is just elapse. he said one central plank of his policies, policies, policy going into the election is the security of this country to make germany more secure as it used to be. he said, what was that comment for 9? be in stock focus on the basis of what has happened to, you know, question other policies. also speaking about what has happened to the f d,

the alternative germany far right party that lead candidate alice vitus saying, when will this mathis end onto it? as she said, that's yesterday evening. following use of this tax, even though we now know it has been suggested that the person who the police suspects is responsible for this attack was making posts so retreats in content that was positive about the if day. so no question about this issue security, what people feel in christmas markets, but also what they feel in general society is going to be a serious issue and it will be tied to immigration because the person consent came here as a migrant. then in 2016, it is said that he sold asylum on the basis of his views about islam. uninstalled with germany might give him asylum, sorry, can asylum migration. then this incident that has happened this new question the

we'll see into the site key here in this country. and there are 2 months until the general election on february, the 23rd. okay. dominic, as you said, you might find out more with the press conference from the law enforcement authorities at 4 pm local time. i believe you said that's in just under 4 hours now . in germany, thank you very much. dominic several fires have been reported after a ukrainian drone attack and deep inside russia. 3 districts were hit in the city of cuz on the capital of the semi autonomy, pets or stun region. residents were evacuated. russian defense officials say that they intercepted and shot down several drones. and russian forces have launched a drone strength on the residential area and ukraine, 2nd largest city of har keys. the strike hit the 9 story apartment block, enjoying 6 people. the 2nd strike targeted another district of hockey. even what

officials say is an escalating aerial campaign against the northeastern city. as the un security council has met at brushes, requests to discuss the war and ukraine moscow as intensifying as criticism of western military support to keep on thursday. russian authorities arrested a foreign suspect in the killing of a top general, who reportedly admitted to working with ukrainian special forces to place the blame you fully made it for peter. the generic release of this crime supports fully the inhumane and terrorist nature of the car into crazy and leadership who just have this and other crimes aimed against the russian military, creative and political a needs behind them all the west and mentors of kids who are trying not to pay attention to what's going on to you, and that's betraying the principles that they constantly proclaim on the international arena. and then us as narrowly avoided a government shut down with congress, passing a funding bill at the 11th hour. the bill is past, the bill extends us government funding until march and includes disaster relief,

failure to pass it would have seen millions of government workers sent home without pay. russ feingold, as a political risk analyst, he says america's process of closed door deals and last minute funding bills is only compounding the nation's debt crisis. this issue here is that for, for a long time, more conservative house members, conservative republicans, what they really dislike is that these funding deals are always made at the last minute by the leadership and with a lot of unrelated news spending provisions thrown in there. and that's what causes so much frustration by conservative house republicans. they don't like getting a 1500 page bill at the last moment that has a lot of new spending. in this case, some of the new spending was disaster relieve. now that, that may be a very valid thing to spend federal money on, but what the, some of the house members really dislike is that these bills are not made to what they call the normal normal pre procedure. it's really made behind closed doors. part of the house republican and democratic leadership,

and they fund the government, but they tend to also throw in a lot of additional spending. and understandably some people object to that process . they want things to move to a regular process with hearings and improper vatike. unfortunately, that's not where we are as an institution where we are as an institution, is that these things go down to the wire. they're made at the last minute. and typically they do have a lot of unrelated provisions. and that's what conservatives dislike is what most can trump dislikes help was also angry, though, because it doesn't include a suspension of the debt limit. is that something that the house republicans, unfortunately for them? because they don't want to have to be the ones who raise it, but next year they're going to have to raise the debt limit as well as thousands of kilograms. and visitors normally flocked to bethlehem in the occupied westbank during the christmas holidays. but celebrations have been quiet for the 2nd year in a row. as israel continues, it's on sloth, on garza mohammed. how's the reports? and for a 2nd year running christmas celebrations and best of the him. all subdued manger

square white christians, believe jesus christ was born more than 2000 years ago. is no to simply deserted palestinians in the occupied west. like say they cannot celebrates walls that people in gaza being slow to sadly for the last 2 years last year and this year. and we're not defending anything that's much like every year because we don't see that is the we can celebrate and other people that cannot send the the christmas nativity scene in bethlehem to fix the baby jesus wrapped in a kaffir instead of a manger. he sleeps in a bed of rubble and destruction. symbolic of the situation, children in gauze i have faced for more than a year. and

it has been a difficult year in the occupied westbank to as well as increase the frequency and intensity of it's right. and that has impacted tourism as well. but then since the silver going to put 3 facing it really difficult because as of who isn't as it is of, of the stuffing all this or the 2nd of the business. and the for the already come with solution is really bad. christmas should be a time of joy. but this year it's a slumber effect. the bells of bethlehem a now ringing for a ceasefire in gaza and them and to the occupation. but how many countries out there and that doesn't for me. so venue is today up next. so miles is 0. you've got

whether then you've got inside story the show will look at how the tax on has the law and the fall of the assad regime in syria could end up impacting the fees in the event. and after that the top the our door kyle, will have all your world news on ours is here to stay with the the colors and prep a winter, whether it's adding to japan at the moment we looked and get took one off the larry of low pressure brewing up uh, just around the northern vietnam is moved across the sea of japan. we have got this cold from here that's taking in and that will bring significant snow full in to west and positive calling to enter a good part of chicago. that will cause some disruption. we have good quantities on the other side of the mountains that take care at around 11 degrees celsius, but still quite

a brief talking behind the career financial adding day for good pots of china. it is generally dry and quite missed and fox and for us the goals, some of the pictures that go on into monday. most no more about winfrey, weather, piling its way in across northern and west in japan. as that stays pretty cold to across northern parts of india. up towards the buck the stopped shots of a little disturbance west of the steps pushing and as it go through the next couple of days at the moment we focusing on eastern india where we have this little circulation here bring some pretty wet weather just around the east coast one to protect pushing up into a dish is our western disturbance that's going to bring some west to whether americans, northern parts of pockets done hopefully clearing the way for a little while in northern, in the, the, the, the lines of ethnic on groups is posing the biggest challenge to me in most

countries since the 2021 with the exclusive access to remote camps and frontline bundles, people in power shops, the progress of an idealistic young generation of rebels is a pivotal moment in the last 60 years of the countries trouble history on the phones. me and mom on the, on the ropes on al jazeera israel carries out this strikes. so yeah, and who's the forces that launch missiles, a ton of these attacks on his boma 11 and then the full of a 7, syria, a who is key allies, yvonne under more pressure. so how much it won't affect you have them? this is inside story. the hello there, i'm james.
