8:10 pm
of coordinating with the relevant parties. we have not been able to provide aid to the hospital. the situation in the hospital is very dia, or the devastated health care system in the south is also on the brink of collapse . nasir hospitality for newness is facing fuel shortages and is at risk of shutting down gas. as health industry says you will, stocks are running out, which will result in the remaining health care facilities. ceasing to function the health industry added that this fuel shortage will endanger the lives of patients. there are also severe shortages of basic and essential medical equipment at the hospitals, honeywell, who defenses this report from inside deluxe, the hospital in darrell balance. central cas, i'm gonna go to the center. it is across the guys travel reduced trucks and over one would then slide injured civilians, many of them women and children and elderly individuals. here at this facility, i lost the hospitals. doctors record of, of the acute shortage of basic supplies,

8:12 pm
chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes. one of the main of the problems really is the intensive care bed. so with a lot of, of tax and injuries. and the last $4.00 to $5.00 days are not in the intensive care of, it's anywhere in the patients and dying because we're not able to provide them to kansas a booth that they should receive, that they should be able to receive anywhere else around the world. would the majority of health facilities across cause or out of of is there is more of pressure adam, this particular health facility in the central area. and there is a city making it very difficult for and really in sufficient medical staff to do a job. and they only may as if exacerbated problems everywhere. and how in terms of providing proper health care, it's too much needed population signing my whole. i was just the from left to the hospital and there is by the palestine. it is really government confirms that the
8:13 pm
body of the captive has been found in gaza. it's military says the body of yusef z out and it was found in a tunnel. israel says 96 captives remain in gaza. the announcement comes as talks are underway, endo, to reach a ceasefire deal that would include the release of captives, the russian attack, targeting the ukranian city is that the region has killed at least 13 people, dozens of and others have been injured. president of, i'll let him use the lensky, his hold on allies, to put pressure on russia officers. the industry also do is doing a whole is in the heart, keeps you on what can you tell us about this? a back several details continuing to emerge about this attack that took place at around 10 to 4 in the afternoon in the southeast incentives of region. the local authorities saying that the strike, it appears to be possibly to there were 2 explosions in video that we've seen
8:14 pm
missiles followed by russia, where i'm at what's described as an industrial site, a factory of some sort. it's not clear what may be produced inside that factory. this is a site in the center of the city is a said that video is quite a little bit around pretty graphic showing scenes of devastation in the streets outside the impact. so clearly outside the precinct of the factory, a multi story apartment building opposite on fire will sort of passing crime and a mini bus that would have been carrying passengers. and it is abundantly clear that these ok civilians caught up in this attack. as you said, the team did confirmed at the moment, dozens wounded, the number of 29. at the moment that figure could well arise as war and 5 presidents landscape. the statements of he made shortly afterwards, giving his condolences to loved ones cool to get the re deliberate attack by russia using ariel bombs and cooling on the international community to put pressure on russia for it's pair up. these comes off, right? yeah, a relative low. i think in a tax of the sort,
8:15 pm
in the 1st week or 2 of the year here in russia, possibly because it's the christmas period. the orthodox christmas period, christmas day was tuesday. the 8th yesterday russian went celebrate that, of course, much of ukraine has moved to the christian calendar, but it is possibly indicating an end to that law. and most of the rest, by at other points on the front line, a 1000 kilowatt upfront line that movements there, including ukraine's new offensive in the customer region inside russia that began on sunday. they've claimed to have hit a come on post there. on tuesday, the russians claiming advances in the don't that screeching around the transport hubs of cooter cover and port croft and you cradle so claiming to have struck deep inside russia in the summer to region oil. definitely that during the course of the night, tuesday into wednesday, june and whole reporting there from the car key. thank you very much. jonah, are still a head on alpha 0. i am. i'll make a grease in north west nigeria why?
8:16 pm
it's hard to buy arms goods is pushing more and more people define to publish the in depth analysis of the days headlines. what are we supposed to read painting through the use of this and you miss all by russian informed opinions. finally, after over a year of genocide, the i c. c has come to this decision, critical debate. the difference between china and most of the rest of the world is a china plans long term inside story do conferences and meetings like cop 29 and others make a difference on how to 0 from the impact of the us selections, escalating conflict in the middle east and the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for serious debate on out jersey or
8:17 pm
8:18 pm
new administration has begun to rebuild the economy, the nation still faces an uncertain future is really forces and carried out multiple attacks across the gaza. medical sources tell alpha 0 at least 40 for palestinians have been killed since going on wednesday. the russian attacks targeting the cranium city itself for regions killed at least 13 people. dozens are injured. or is it involved in the as a lensky ass cold on allies to put pressure on russia? following the or striking at least 2 people have been killed in tens of thousands of fled from their homes after one of those fires ripped through areas across los angeles firefighters face to face strong seasonal. santa ana winds have been whipping up ambrose and sparking larger fires. presidential button says he is watching the situation and has offered federal assistance in an earlier press conference, the la fire chief explained the extent of the destruction. unfortunately,
8:19 pm
we have to reported fatalities to civilians unknown cause at this time. and we do have a number of significant injuries. we have over $100.00 structures destroyed and the cause of the fire is unknown and under investigation. i spoke to kind of charles earlier, he's a storm chase or he witnessed one of those was fires. he told us about his experience, these kind of winds, especially the historic amount of wins that we have here, especially in the policy at area. i would see we would drive like a mile down the road and we would see just an amber coming land and then suddenly ignite a bush. so these like amber is that travel miles sometimes literally miles came just like these fires getting his jump because these numbers are just for so long and they were still in the air. and so it was just an incredible site, like i even talked to one gentleman here who lived here for 43 years. and he said he's never seen anything quite like this. they have all their units out. i even saw
8:20 pm
tweet earlier, dot l a has called every off duty fire fire department, a person to come out. and if a health by the plans, what they're really doing is instead of trying to go after every little claim or, or a house, it's on fire, they're just trying to control and contain. and so all the units are necessarily in there more along the edges than they are in the center of it. and so there are just like, it's just too much like there's too much fire happening and there's just not enough units actually take care of everything. even i talked to a gentleman while we're on top of the canyon looking at the approaching fire, who just got done rescuing this woman because the fire department did not have the capacity to go in and rescue her from her home. that was about to catch fire. as a friend says warranty us president elect donald trump, that the european union will not allow other nations to threaten its sovereign borders. trump is repeatedly expressed a desire for the us to gain control of greenland and says that he won't rule out
8:21 pm
the use of them 3 fourths. german, chancellor schultz says trumps comments have sparked in comprehension among european union leaders. we need to infer national security purposes. i've been told that for a long time, long before i even ran, i mean people have been talking about it for a long time. you have approximately 45000 people there. people really don't even know if denmark has any legal rights to it. but if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security. that's for the free world. i'm talking about protecting the very well australia as president has appointed foreign minister alexander schellenberg as caretaker, chancellor. oh, sure 0. so jago has more on this from vienna. the austria is foreign minister, alexander shalom bug. it will be the country's interim chancellor. as coalition talks take place between the far right freedom policy and the conservative peoples
8:22 pm
policy. now while schellenberg said he would remain in place as foreign minister, he said he would not be part of the government and the fall rights, freedom policy. now that is no limits as to how long these tools could take place that could take place for weeks or even months, a thoughts if those talks failed, then it could go to a just another general election as well. uh, this is an option that would perhaps be beneficial for the freedom policy as the popularity has only grown since september's election. in the meantime, this is yet another phone. and aside for the european union, potentially a nova nationalist populace on immigration governments that would be in place. and also more importantly for the blog. you are a skeptic force, another your skeptic voice within the european union that could cause many issues for brussels? sonya guy, yeah,
8:23 pm
go out to 0. yeah. it is. it is army has taken control of the city of house, of della and the southern state officials 0. it follows repeated attacks diabetes. however, military rapids support forces. the groups for civilians to flee about 40 villages in the house. 2 days the or assess, has been targeting communities since october after one of his senior commanders defect into the army. and the us has imposed sanctions on our as f leader mom at home done doug a little washington says it is quote, holding accountable those responsible for atrocities it has accused the recess and his allies of committing genocide during their capture of nearly all of western dar 4 states, us secretary of state anthony blinking says the group has systematically targeting civilians, killing particular ethnic groups and carrying a mass rate under the sanctions. doug low is barred from the us and his assets are frozen. cameron hudson is a senior fellow in the african program at the center for strategic and international studies. he says action by washington has come late into jo biden's administration,
8:24 pm
but could still change in time. the situation on the ground. the administration has had this available information. it could have made this decision much longer ago. the acts of genocide that the arts have committed. it started committing him at the, in the very 1st days of this war. and certainly the figure of the from the gullow and that he has been at the center of breaking up the protests of sedans, revolution of carrying out crews against the transitional government. so he has been sanction level. 1 for many years now, so the fact that they have taken these rather large steps with less than 2 weeks to go for this administration, suggest that they are looking back at their legacy and realizing that that it's left wanting. and so that they are doing everything they can now and these in these final days. so i don't think it's going to affect us policy or the us strategy towards today. and such as it is. i do think you could have some longer term
8:25 pm
effects in the politics of sudan because these are very serious accusations that won't just go away. the accusation of genocide is it is a thoughtful and serious one that will hang around the r s. f for years to come. and so as it tries to reinvent itself as a legitimate political force in the country, as a matthew tries to reinvent himself as a politician, as a business man, as a diplomat of these will make it harder to do. but again, i think it will be up largely to the truck administration to see how the united states uses these announcements this week to leverage further change in the country of the fighting between military and criminal groups in northwest nigeria has severely affected businesses, agriculture and travel would begin with confrontations between farmers and candle herders more than a decade ago, escalated into criminal violence with groups carrying out the kidnappings for ransom houses. there was
8:26 pm
a haunted race reports from stucco to state on the border between nigeria and the chair, the village of summoning so quite a state is slowly getting back to its feet. it was a sea, nothing tests battles between nigerian security forces and criminal groups that attacked it for years. it's now liberated but not before its people west script of their possessions. i mean the but we've had to resort to power. we're going to run some people and we can't even access market for more than a decade. the groups know locally as bandits killed, pillaged and even impose that one knows on. cvd ends in that get us northwest enable to exempt for our state. as the military secure was one village, the bandits would move to another. in the town of my empty, local se, half of the population moved st, sent at dusk to find safety. in numbers of hook over to several villages around us has been pillaged, people kidnapped and ran some paid. it's impossible to estimate these losses. in
8:27 pm
addition to the loss of life, 13 years of kidnapping, rubbery and attacks have listened conditions for people in the region already played by public to others and government savio and poverty place. so quarter stayed at the top of his list with more than 80 percent of the population he had considered for. since then, multiplan businesses have been affected by a ton of low. it's by, i'm groups in the region. the military has intensified it's operation securing mo communities. but at any say military force alone will not resolve the 13 the problem. it's very important that the oxygen that allows this group to try, which is the root cause they've done to drive us over it and terrorism that they addressed over the surgery, economic conditions and climate change issues, the land governance. i'm telling that it's very common in most parts of europe. the crisis in the northwest as effective development to, with some areas seem
8:28 pm
a little to no state presents at all. for now the government says it's on cost and the problems. so i degrees. how did you see that support to nigeria, and that's it for me 0 then yay. next to analysis era is weather. and then you've got insights. story stay with the the, the east and that's been relatively quiet for the last week or so. what tired is currently coming across might bring a few light shaft to west in turkey. the, when it isn't excessive, it worked about towards degrees by day on the coast about setting a mine in georgia because it's still cold at night. and so, so i'm just below freezing but you've got to go inland and lift yourself up, elevation wise to do that. and my case is still a team. for example,
8:29 pm
in golf and same situation prevails on thursday, relatively warm and sunny by day, pretty cold by night. but these, as you might expect, there might be a few more writing charles on friday, running into them advanced towards northern egypt, but nothing too dramatic. we have seen dramatic writing recently in the phone, most of the songs that whole southern around mecca or jetta. and that might resolve into something more significant. the line that you follow up through here, wrapping around in iraq. we significant share was i don't think much of come out of it, but most places beyond that. lake victoria still breathing. so every lunch time that our child's in kigali bush and board or not or be but the significant registering for the staff in terms of near and full costs. why the warnings on the immediate future from a lower rate if a significant right. so for the summer shelf, avery way more or less from jo, big north was we'll see some decent right. the,
8:30 pm
the latest news as it breaks for the 3 hospitals have gone out of service. people are using them out. so there's now face further displacement with detailed coverage cheese read off, your vision forces force, hundreds of civil news through this. please prompt this call surface and bit header one from the hoss of the story is wait a minute to reset the it was target thing. come on those and start the hospital, has provided no evidence who was so success or from a now present in 5 areas. that's the don in what a senior un official says is i see 90, terry and 5 system side going proportion, millions address space. and the us now says, genocide is taking place. so what's the well doing for the people of saddam? this is inside story.
