a lot of them are on patches because of all the injuries in their more lives. so it's hard for them to walk for a long distance, particularly if we think of the the vac ocean orders ridiculous a from agent hospital or allow that for the northern parts all the way through western. 4 of the of golf and city wiley is really military blocking deliberately, any sort of for the nation with the red cross with other organizations that are always at toward the dating. the valuation of patients and injuries admitted goes up from the huffman. as of this moment, no one has left the hospital and the pressure is increasing on the health facility, the repeated attacks by the artillery, the, the, the intimidation of created by the drones. and by the, the glass top does that cover at a very low level just created a, a level of fear and terror, particularly with, with the children. many of the people have their children with them,

the deliberate destruction of healthcare facilities may amount to a form of collective punishment, which would also constitute a little crime. is committed as part of the widespread or systematic a tech on the civilian population. such ex males amounts to crimes against humanity . mark southern was speech writer to the former un secretary general banking mood and now leads the center for united nation studies at the university of birmingham . he says the u. n. is under pressure to respond to is really a tax on humanitarian and medical workers. there have been numerous attacks on hospitals. they've been numerous attacks on humanitarian workers, united nations, personnel, gymnast, and of course your gen this. we know what's happening. i think the well is now looking on. i'm asking what action is going to be taken because we've seen repeatedly these crimes against humanity been claimed. these are these up make

it doing kind crimes against humanity. we're not seeing any action. i think people expect really that the united nations secretary general needs to be taking a much stronger active stops mid. he think that he should actually be in the middle east. and also be thinking that very, very clearly about putting together a coalition of the willing responsibility to protect civilians is also something that the united nations needs to remember as of to separate. it's off, the rwanda at these genocides were never supposed to happen again. so i think there's increasingly a demand for a united nations, but minutes rise. she about us having convoys series of convoys to go into gaza. the one special rapids her or francesco been easy, is appealing to medical profession or is, or professionals around the world to suspend ties with israel in

a social media post all been easy, right. israel has killed over a 1000 colleagues of yours in garza, and 14 months countless were arrested, tortured and disappeared out of dismay in solidarity. you should revolt an earth suspension of ties with israel until it stops the genocide and accounts for it. the post ends with a question, what are you waiting for? a hash tag, free doctor for some of the stuff the well dr. ibis, i see a is the head of come out odd one hospital who is detained by is really forces during their rate on the facility last friday. guy. charlotte is the executive director of physicians for human rights, israel. his team is working to provide legal assistance to dr. ups of the and the minutes we realize that he was arrested then we have testimony is about his colleagues that we've seen when he was arrested. so there's no question that he was arrested by the so the military, when we do the appeal to the it's a body that is called my slot in the military body that he's in charge of locating

and informing families and organizations on where prisoners are held. uh, so we wanted to 1st of all, to request the full information of where it is in order to request for a to visiting with the lawyer. but then the response we got was talking, they just said, we don't have a, we don't know where he is. we don't, we have no indication that this person was arrested, always held by the military. and that is, uh, is very good. is there any later on we uh the is what the military spokesperson say when they do have they do holding. and i think this makes message just if we are getting is not a mistake. it is part of the system we have, we have been trying to locate the prisoners in the past 15 months with no success. in the 1st 6 months we got no responses. no, there, there was, there was no, uh there when there was no information available in the where people are. and if

they are even health and says may, we're getting on the very parson information that is unreliable. in some cases, human rights organization ask whether a person is arrested, we get the response such as the one we got just know that there is no indication of this person is the risk the and then after months we find out that that person was, has died in custody in gaza, city and is really drawn strikes at the residential neighborhood of shifting a lawn. ugly. $61.00 palestinians have been killed and is really a tax across the strips installed on israel's military claims. as hitting come us gathering points and command centers was reports from an a hospital in gaza city where some of the injured were taken as a warning as report contains some distressing images. what's going on right now in the gaza is no installation against display spot as it is well, possibly evacuated from the another boss of the district. they were supposed to be

back to within from basically i have been trying to do better refuge account. there's no, it's a civil solution against the policy is who functional as a hit and dogs us if you end up talking to or from a lot of the hospitals, what kinds of fees and the injured arriving to orlando. so right now there is someone who has because, oh my god, the law yeah, a law game. i just see the bosses don't take all of this amounts of injured people as there's a beautiful taste of medical supplies. all. also, there's a sufficient phase, you'll be a specialized doctors the situation, he is really just as soon as you can clearly see the ran across and here remain. so rug around what can people hear and go sit, they can find

a safe place to be and why they knew it was just the to allow the hospital all this time after more than 15 months of israel's were on gauze mental health experts say the violence is having a severe and lasting effect on god's us children with many saying they believe that death for them is inevitable. product abrazzo reports from dated by in goza. the sounds of the bombings kind of close the english day. and the children like these are leading through an imaginable hunters they have seen until what new child should relentless destruction the lives of loved ones, and a complete absence of safety. a recent disability by the community training center

palestinian civilians since october of 2023. and since december 14th, the palestinian authority has been conducting raids in janine, specifically in the janine refugee camp because they say they want to crack down on ard palestinian resistance. there had been clashes for weeks and many members of the palestinian authority, security forces had been killed as a result. and at least a palestinians had been killed since the fighting began. and the central jersey to a man the, the foreign ministers of france and germany have met the leader, a serious new administration decided on the capital, damascus. there's only one bravo. and on the lena bear, bach are representing the european union. and one of the highest level western diplomatic visits since the us addressing was tough of last month. how someone had about a reports from damascus. not even

a bad bulk. and joe knew when bob ok with a list of demands for the band, who now both syria, the minnesota far enough as and her friends account about aust, the new administration to renounce act of vengeance full and inclusive government protect my knowledge is and hold elections soon. but the meeting failed to break the ice between the band who has emerged from the shadows and skeptical european officials. oh paul, good. when tested to europe is prepared to offer support. who would think europe will not be a sponsor if you knew as i'm a structures. this is not only an all or an interest, but it is also everything that i've had time. and again, from the many, many people from syria in germany, but also from the many syrians here in the region. earlier in the day, the german diplomats met the white helmets. the search and rescue teams hope great

danger and the battle bones during the war. bad bulk was late to join by her friends going to bonds. joe knew with bottle this is the desk of what assets opponents were detained. thousands were executed. families are still looking for the missing in the account to terms the top to on the talk. let's see, the west, the is what syria remains vulnerable and i feel we made a made just about a survey and secure syria cannot keep any place police that make terrorism. terrorism has struck you. terrorism has struck us in our flesh. that's why we fought side by side alongside the codes in the northwest of syria. a gauge is not mist terrorism. the french would reopen that embassy to seize the full of us had a growing number of regional and international delegations have reached out to the authorities here to help the country. and it's transitional process sylvia as new

need as we're hoping for sanctions to be lifted by the french and german ministers, told them that won't happen now. the french and german minutes the say the on here to show support for the syrian people. first and foremost of the path to full diplomatic recognition may take some time, the one to just then you administration based on what happens during the transition and see how it goes. but there is a recognition among the europe is that there's a new political reality that they would have to deal with passion about. but i just the re, damascus, the satellite images of reveal the is really army, is moving beyond the occupied goal on heights and reinforcing its presence and the serious on of 2 nights at all since the fall of the regime last month, the is where the army is also shot at protest or is deployed soldiers in the city. israel began expanding its occupation of a certain goal on high it's after a shot and

a said was toppled on december. the 8th. the one says as rules and violation for 1974 agreements between israel and syria, to disengage its forces or some a bon jovi, additional coordinates for our southwestern syria and has more on the multiple is really incursions and bombings across the country. that is, it is really time consuming and so and is there any forces have continued to expand the occupation of city integrity in the last few weeks. this is valid on the outskirts of this town is the village of having the which has been cut off by is really forces. and people here see, telling us how difficult life has been under the is really occupation forces these, this place here, that there is contracts all around us. these go into the streets towards the, at this either side. and people say that they are living in fear because these night patrols have become bolder and deeper satellite images have shown is really forces digging upfront is,

is really bulldozers and ministry vehicles coming deeper into the territory. and it feels that it is being set up for a longer presence in contravention of the 1974 convention, and according to which after the occupied golan heights, there is a buffer zone, which would mean a dimming minute dried zone. but that is not the case. and is there any forces continue to come deeper, and people here see that be afraid off is really occupation expanding to more areas and then being forced out of their homes. i've done them some of the machine, these really colonizers thoughts at an attack on us from deliberate to the area that was between us and across the distance of that team kilometer. as i said, they are still terrorizing us with that time they in like 4 or more. in addition to the governor incursions is ready. the forces have also continued their evian attacks into city and 3rd free level. the latest place which is being had to go into is really forces a rep in the manufacturing research center. in the last $24.00 or 48 hours,

damascus can decide is also be met. you've seen that they often mazda of the strikes which are being carried out against all of the targets which belong to the . busy the military of a uh, air defenses, the naval capabilities, minifie, hardware and depots, have all been struck. and there seems to be anger here amongst the people because they feel that is really his head thing. what was built by the taxpayers money. it wasn't the personal property of either the munitions or the aside the regime. and this feel that they seem to be abandoned by the international community as a worthy discontinue. there's plenty of activity in and out of damascus, but nobody seems to be talking about the occupation. is there any forces coming deeper into their tired feed? people have been showing this images of what just discrete looked like with things have been up rooted and homes have been destroyed and people have been displaced. so it is, uh, it comes with, with warnings that have you been hearing from the jordanians and the church about

how is really needs to respect serious sovereignty and territorial integrity. so here in when i for the people continued to live in fear and the expect to from the government would please do something to try and protect their lives because they feel that the shuttle, the subdivision has not been replaced by israel. some of the driver does have either one either of us presidents elect donald trump, will be sentenced next friday and his hush money criminal conviction $10.00 days before his inauguration. so when a young judge says he's not inclined to impose jail time on trump, who has been fighting for months to dismiss the case, the president elect is convicted of 34 accounts of falsifying business statements in relation to a hush money payments made during his 2016 presidential campaign. we can now cross over to a height is our pastor joining us from washington dc. to tell us more about how this came about and whether it was expected. heidi a yeah, this was quite

a surprise and 5 to drop. in fact, i have the court ruling right now in front of me that we're just going over. now this had been a case that, of course we, my viewers was decided by a jury back in maine, which trump was found guilty of $34.00 felony charges for trying to hide a hush money payment to an adult film star. and in order to try to keep that out of the headlines ahead of his 1st election to become president and that sentencing have him postpone now twice. and then it was everyone's understanding that because trump went onto when again in november, that likely this case would go way, at least that was his lawyers argument. well, it's just at, it actually isn't the case. the judge now has ruled that trump will be sentenced after all, just 10 days prior to taking office. this is something that had not been expected,

but the judge did say in his ruling that he is not expecting to sentence from to any jail time. he had qualified for up to 4 years in prison because of these felony charges. but what is guaranteed now is if this does go forward, that trunk would be officially the 1st spelling to be a sitting president in the united states. okay, id. thank you so much for that, heidi reporting for us from washington dc. well, the us house of representatives has re elected mike johnson, a speaker, the republican faced opposition from some members of his own party, despite being back by president elect donald trump. today my friends are a nation is the in the of the world. why? because we have been marked by a spirit and the people who are explicitly that we are explicitly american. we don't try to be like other nations. and we recognize that

a strong america is good for the entire world, and everybody around the globe knows that. correct. okay, i'll and fisher is joining us from capitol hill in washington dc on this story. so alan, there was a bit of drama on the house for before johnson was finally re elected. is this a sign of things to come? as well as a sign that donald trump go to the man they wanted. and his agenda will be right to the forefront called this congress know that they're taking up their positions. certainly it's a sign from the rebels, but they can take mike johnson, don't have to get on happy with what he's doing. he said he was going to win in the 1st ballot. he did. it's a big tree for him as a big tree for donald trump because back to him and make phone calls on his behalf . but there was drama the a when at least 6 members of the republican caucus suggested that they would well set the web voting for anyone else. they just remained silent and 3 others voted

for other people in the republican party. that meant on that 1st ballot. mike johnson fell well short. what happened then was no one to clear the ballot over, and they began to put pressure on the should voted for other people thought was all being done behind the scenes. now obviously concessions were given, but the pressure seemed to hit the right point on 2 of the switch, their boat to mike johnson, which meant on the 1st ballot he was elected. but it shows that the republican party isn't quite united, but it is a big win for donald trump because it means that they will go ahead with the certification of the election on monday as planned. and also he can hit the ground running. there's a lot of things he wants to do, particularly in the 1st 100 days, and he's not going to get congress to push through. and we have that from mike johnson in the speech. he said that the election in november showed the american people were very keen on an america 1st agenda to donald trump agenda and it was his intention to deliver. so he's looking at things like tax cuts, securing the board,

making america more energy independent. it's already the biggest oil producer in the world, and also making sure that people see a reduction in things like energy bills under grocery bills, things that donald trump has been talking about for months on the campaign trail. well, it's not up to congress to try and push those through. certainly have keep jeffries as the leader of the democrats. he said, so they will what, what's the republicans where there is the intention to do better for the american people. but he want them that they will not be sacrificing the likes of retirement funds or medicaid, which is of course, provided by the government for retirees, a health care program. they will not sacrifice that. they cannot be touched. he said, look, these are not benefit programs. entitlement programs, they're things that people have paid for because they have and they're going to make sure that the deliver to the american people. so we can see that there might be a level of unanimity, but there's going to be a lot of tension in the $119.00 congress. but certainly this will be done as

a big win for donald trump. goodbye mike johnson and gold as mount in the speakers chair. okay, thank you so much. i'm going for ser, reporting from capital hill. thank you. it still has on the al jazeera news, our mexico opens new migrant centers along the border with the us ahead of the expectancy for patients by the incoming trump administration. also coming up in the one. this is the 2nd largest. i'll tell you why upset that subsidy. is making australia is solar sign as india or dismiss for a 185 on day one. they're 4th tests and sidney. that's coming up for joe and sports . the had a lot of that. let's have

gentleness accent. you could be in the safe and safe, and then you went out into civil war. i started off leaving this one of the grand sweets coming to a hotel. the next room i was in was underground, tying the prison. so as a hostage, they were to commodore will hotels on al jazeera news . the hear the news hour on out to 0. i hear this from stories this hour. israel has forced to hospitals in northern garza to evacuate under threat of attack staff on patients if it ends in using and to allow. the hospitals were told to leave immediacy on friday,

before ministers of france and germany have met with the leader, a serious youth ministration, and damascus. the diplomats who are representing the european union, say the lifting of sanctions on the serious will depends on the country's political future. us president elect donald trump, will be sentenced next friday and has pushed money criminal conviction. and that's 10 days before his inauguration. i know you're in judge says he's not inclined to impose jail time on trump, who has been fighting for months to dismiss the case. emergency shelter was in mexico or bracing for a potential influx of citizens ahead of donald trump's and i'll get ration us present and select has promised to deport undocumented migrants on mass. starting from day one of his administration. mexican border cities found to bear the brunt of the policy julia ago, yano reports from tijuana to displace from their homes by growing violence.

hundreds of mexican families spent the holidays in shelters along the us. mexico border waiting and hoping for a chance to claim asylum in the us before donald trump takes off is on january 20th . 21 year old michelle was 8 months pregnant when her husband was gone down outside the family business after refusing to pay its torsion to organized crime. stories like hers were common here by the name of this country has gone from bad to worse with so much in security. every time you go outside, you fear something will happen to you. you guys just put the little guessing formation. president claudia, shame them. since mexico, we'll welcome back it citizens, even releasing a special music video dedicated to migrants. but beyond the platitudes her government has announced little details of how they plan to deal with an influx of deportees leaving civil society to take their own measures and

were asking the mexican government to help these people to get reinstated back into society. get them id cards, then they could enter social services and then you could help them get a job because they're putting all that all the burden on us on the shelters. we did this ahead of an increase demand for spaces pastor, i bet 30 beta is building 2 new floors to the shelter she runs into one of the staff tells us they've received no government funding or guidance and recent weeks across the border. volunteers in southern california are also bracing for a 2nd. trump administration border kind is and g o trips into the desert each week to lead supplies for migraines. trying to cross thousands have died on these paths over the years. the concern of those who work in this field is that in the event of massive orientations, especially if they target people who lived in the us for decades and have families and lives there. these routes isolated and dangerous will become more and more

popular. as these people will have no legal pathway back home, there are going to be opposite flows. there's going to be, you know, higher numbers. there's gonna be lower numbers. we've seen it roller coaster through the years, the ups and downs, but we know that is constant and is true. people always be coming across this way. and that's why we're here on the, for these volunteers, the work is personal. as children of migrants themselves, they fear a policy of mass deportation will inevitably lead thousands to this treacherous during julia galle. i know i'll just see europe on the us mexico border, near cranes, presidents as in speaking about how donald trump's return to the us presidency could change the war. and this comes as the clear up continues from new year's day when ukraine says russia fired more than a 100 miles on drones. so in a whole, has this update from td in an hour, long interview with new credit and television presidents that lensky has been talking about, the prospect so peace in 2025. he said that any negotiated settlement with russia

would have to be backed by strong security guarantees for ukraine, including the possibility of e. u. peacekeeping troops in ukraine, backed by nato. and he said that any settlement with russia would have to be supported by the united states or it wouldn't hold. but where did this optimism about 2025 come from. it doesn't come from zalinski. his belief that ukraine could win the war on the battlefield, militarily the country is struggling. it does, however, appear to come from his belief in the deal making powers of donald trump. trump's return to the white house in a little over, a fortnight's time, increasingly seen here as a potential turning point from i'm wondering what the with if i m trump, is capable of being decisive in this world. you can really stop using or help us stop pizza. and we have several conversations, both in meetings on the phone, and he is strong and unpredictable. i would very much like president trump's unpredictability, to focus primarily on the russian federation with us. i believe he genuinely wants

to end the war when they have to tell how realistic this idea of the trump and negotiations can bring face. this is some new governments worry that company indeed withdraw support from ukraine force to get through. we, serious into a face on russians. tons to see was in that interview, perhaps is unpredictability. the fact is, need the presidency lensky. don't president putin have any real idea? what the incoming president trump is going to do during the whole elder 0 keith, a job pennies? company, nipple and steel says it will sue the u. s. government officer president joe biden, blah. it's plan to buy us still buying a citing national security concerns. the $14900000000.00 sale would have put one of america's largest deal producers under foreign control. biden had pledged for months that he would block it despite the company's needs for investment. by them said he needed to protect domestic industry and the sale would have put critical us supply chains at risk. we can now speak to robert scott, who's

a former senior international economist, a b konami's policy institute of joining us from rockville in maryland via skype. thanks for your time. are you surprised by this outcome? no, i am not present as bite, has been cleared for some time, but he did not a favor this proposed merger. and uh, i think he, he, uh, decided it was the best interest to us from us stamp workers in particular to retain control of this company. the current best decision have implications for a future for an investments in american companies. uh, best buy, but to the steel industry is really a special case. it is one of the most protected industries in the world and has been subject to vast amounts of unfair trade. of this has been a subject of debate at the o, u. c. d, and other international for a, for years, decades actually been talks. and so for at least 20 years about

a multi lateral standard agreement to deal with excess capacity worldwide, nothing has been done or giving significance in that direction. japan, of course, is a very close us our lives. so what do you think this means for us to find relations as well again, but yours in japan have been fighting about steel also for many decades of us has harris on the importance of seo from japan. nip arms deal has been repeatedly found guilty of dump things to go in in the united states. a business of the old problem that has to do with a government to investments and government favor. a driver from the favorites provide into the seo industry in japan and china and other asian countries, especially in korea. and so it's, it's an industry that is subject to excessive amounts of unfair trade and to others

. you know, such as automobiles for trade is more freely conducted. so when, but, but it is the best, i mean, is this the end of the road then biden's opposition to the deal? is that is, or is this going to be revisited under trump? do you think it may be revisited under trump, although i wouldn't be surprised if he went to reverse this particular decision? i don't think trump is a big fan of, of, of, for an ownership of us as in this industry is or tried to his tried to attract the point of best buy these already met with the, uh, with the was to some other foreign investors try to attract for an investment to this country, but he has not made promises like that before and they failed to, to uh, to is failed to make good on them. okay, robert scott, former senior international economist of the economic policy is,

are joining us from maryland's in the us. thank you so much. thank you. smell china as governments, as an announce it's economic strategy for the new year, which is to sharply increase boring to boost spending in the country. and it also intends to keep its markets open to the world. despite of threats from the us, presidents are like donald trump, to impose heavy terrace when he takes office, katrina, you has this update from beijing. so this is similar to an, a popular commercial district here in dayton and there are many shops here. but as you can see that on to many shelters, and this picture is being reflected over the country, people aren't spending much and look, consumption is part of the reason behind china is slowing economic course. why it's still struggling to recover from the cause of 19 pandemic. because of this bleak picture, the chinese government moved to reassure the public at a press conference on friday, saying that economic growth remain stable and is improving in the coming year of aging is planning to do and spend more, including about $14000000000.00 on new major projects,

it's also rolling out initiatives such as ones inviting the publics to trade in the old goods for new ones, and introducing moses to support businesses and 1st employment aging released simulate targeted policies last year, including ones to pop up the alien real estate sector and property prices did slightly improve at the end of the year, although experts say more aggressive policies are needed. overall, the chinese government is trying to stay updates about china's economy, although they do expect more difficulties and challenges in 2025. and one of these new challenges could be a trade war over the united states. once president elect donald trump takes office lation of this month. katrina, you on to 0 aging. and goal as government as it plans to push ahead with removing fuel subsidies by the end of 2025. even though that move is unpopular, there's a cost of living crisis despite the nation being a major oil and diamond producer authority say we're moving subsidies will free of money for essential public services,

which also reports from dwanda. carlos to santos is a high school teacher in angola. his salary isn't enough to ensure he can pay all his monthly bills. but he says government to feel a subsidies, help cushion consumers from rising prices. and that's why he is worried about politicians plans to scrap them makes you laugh at them, ends in boston, see that now it does little pockets. once the fuel subsidies i remove, the price of everything will go up. you to hit us better right now. and goal is pay by $0.35 for lead to a pedro. and about $0.21 for diesel removing subsidies, means that will pay more at the pump, so that they caught them and save the subsidy program is unsustainable. and goal stands about $3000000000.00 every year on the fuel subsidies. just to have an idea, we spend more subsidizing the pool. then we spend in education and nail,

so together. so we needs to, to present out the subsidies. but i don't believe that we will do it soon, because politically is very bad to present golf, the subsidies, the fuel prices nearly doubled last year. people purchased it in the capital of the wind police, the at least 5 were killed in the interests protest against plan to remove subsidies have also the health of the african countries, such as like a mini applicant companies are in debt. and the as push on developing countries from bodies like the international monetary fund to cut the public spending and it would use be to not make policies. the company proved tough for people already suffering poverty and financial difficult oil has helped and going to grow it's economy in the capital. there is a lot of development new buildings keep going up those of a day, some of them a oil companies and other businesses for many people. yeah,

i still angola is africa 2nd largest, but use of crude oil. but a few people benefit from the countries, the boss or a well, this is one that was most an equal the economies within half of people age under 25 adult list. as all those facing hardship moving fuel subsidies won't be popular. hardwood tasks out there. the wind still had on the all to 0 and who's our, the world's best drivers, warm up for this year as the coming of the it, especially in freeport series, earth rise, discovers how indigenous the movements and knowledge are re shaping our relationship with the planet. if it doesn't work for nature, nature is going to come pick you in the bus and stop you and your pace that's pushing on a number of fronts to bring the attention of the walls. so what is going on here?

if we don't take care of all of these type of relationship, we have last verse rise. we are nature coming soon on the jersey to the the, [000:00:00;00] the total again time for the sports is here is $23.00, and thank you very much spanish champions around the trend of kicked off 2025 having to go back to the top of the table in low league that facing valencia in the 1st months of the year in the spanish sleep. and when would give them a to point advantage if an athletic, i'm a dread fox is as it stands, rail, the trailing one know at the misfire stadium in the 2nd hall, dude. spelling and missed a penalty to me. and in fact, i had

a great game there to the 2 teams with remarkably good offices and good defenses and, and obviously everyone's going to be waiting for the last game of the season. and that's deliberate. you know, the, the games are already scheduled for week of the last week of the season, but they leave the timings alone until the week before. and that means that this game, which is really the most important, the 2 best teams, is playing each other and everything to play for becomes the final game. the weekend, while i picked at the start of the season, kansas city. so i would, i would stick with them. patrick, my homes make such a difference. but the only game they've lost this season was against buffalo, one of the top contenders, although they were playing in buffalo. so this is why home field advantage may make such a big difference. and in the m, f. c. although detroit, minnesota get all the attention, i still liked philadelphia a lot if their quarterback jaylen hertz is healthy. and he may not play this this
