be appreciated. the fact that you came here to stand with us in this battle for the future of civilization. the security of israel is chapman is the reason of states come us are the new not monday. thank you. my guys have been just doing all that kind of thing. events with conflicts from necessarily taking the world as do stand united behind israel to defeats, come us kind to know. i'm to sure think it's a good idea to intervene in this conflict. but this is not only our battle, it is our common, but also on the day an impassioned plea by age groups do not forget about of governance done after a series of devastating earthquakes. create a crisis within a crisis for a total of $93600000.00 is required to rapidly deliver life

saving, creating response to maintaining actors in the race against time to meet the needs of the affected communities before the onset off when to welcome to the day it is the biggest crisis, the middle east has seen in years, and the prospect of, of getting out of hand is creating concern around the globe. so diplomatic efforts are running high with world leaders and their representatives during the region and then attempt to avoid the still available today. german chancellor or life shots travel to tell a beef after his talks with is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he was forced to take cover when air rates are and sounded while he was boarding his plane to travel onwards to egypt. beyond a show of support for israel schultz hope's his visit, we'll help find

a solution for the catastrophic humanitarian situation and besieged casa, lending into love, eve durham, anton slowly shows called it a visit to friends in difficult times during talks with is rarely prime minister benyamin antonia who he express condolences to israel, but also concern over a broadening of the conflict. is this movie should it should be said, it's important for me to say this today should be this difficult time in all clarity, tortuga sheets. germany's history. what is the historical responsibility originating from the holocaust? what makes it all duty to protect the existence and security of israel? so i'm 50 never going to my government assuming everything in its power to ensure that this conflict does not escalate. it is essential to prevent a conflagration in the region. the germantown slow pledge that his government will keep them in so many tearing commitments in regard to the civilian population. behind closed doors or lock shoals, also met the relatives of german hostages,

helped by come mazda in garza. they staged a protest in front of the german embassy. they are demanding answers. the phone with whom give you the information that we have here, and i don't even want to say it out loud, but some of them are probably already dead when we don't know that officially, and that's certainly a problem. when does is pushed everything properly. all we want right now is the power below beck. and before before everything to know the situation because we know nothing, we are in the air. so we want to know their situation. being taken care of to his visit to israel shoals will continue to watch egypt. tough talks with president up the fight, the hot c c. a had of the expected to peace. somebody in cairo this week and now can tar, has positioned itself as a possible mediator between homos and israel. the law has had times with him,

austin's, it's early days, a relationship that could allow it to exert influence over what the u. the u. s. and some are of states level a terrorist group, but it also brings into question how appropriate guitar is as a mediator for peace talks as a friend to the west end to this one, enemy task. how walks a tightrope on foreign policy. doug has communication channels with homos have made it a major international play of an important us and a u. l. i a small states with a long history of mediation, as in past flareups during this time, immediately took on the role of negotiate uh, holding talks for the release of hostages held in gaza. cause i caught diplomatic ties with israel in 2009. but it is experienced a balancing relations with opposing players. for example,

accounting both tear on and washington has friends. doha has hosted the political headquarters of homos for more than a decade. over the weekends, the political leader of the militant islam is group is smell honey. a met with the bronze foreign minister, enjoy ha, the casa is also widely regarded as a major financial back of a mouse through its funding of civil services in gaza. it says the financial support is full, humanitarian and political efforts to maintain stability and support cause and families. doha has tried to use monetary incentives to find diplomatic solutions in pos complex guitar. latest say their priority now is to de escalate, protect civilians, and to prevent any spillover that could trigger a regional relatives. and friends of people could not find the laws of urge the german government to help secure their release at a press conference held at the german embassy and to leave. israel says that at

least 199 people are being held hostage by homos and gaza. some of them are 4 and citizens or whole dual nationality, least 8 of them are german citizen. among them 22 year old sony luke monday, how last released its 1st hostage video showing 21 year old mia sherman is really french citizen. w spoke to friends of shiny, look in front of the german embassy, or we know nothing. we are in the, in the air. we want to know the situation that they're being taken care having made because hope, because all that i know right now is my friend tenant is injured, very must have injured and she needs to be take care firstly. and our kidnapped our beloved into to be take care of and medically the good to be, to be um, to be take care and to get back here to our tools to their families. now while

efforts to free the hostages are ongoing, israel is widely expected to launch a ground defensive into gaza. john spencer is the chair of urban warfare studies with a madison policy for him. and i asked him to give us his assessment of the situation regarding a possible is really encourage them into goss. i'm sure, i mean, i think they're starting to condition as execute the note you operation that the idea since they've been given which is to destroy a mock village capabilities that it currently, it is continuing with the air campaign to strike, come us military talkers, to reduce their capabilities before ground force would go in to actually basically clear it, you can't do that through strictly bombing. so you would need ground forces to clear the urban areas of a massive military capabilities where they put them in to what extent has that weakened homeless. so far, i mean, it's hard to your to say from a far,

but definitely considerably. it's taken out of my ability to see a mazda is ability to strike. we're using rocket to reduce that capability. but a mazda, it does have a city underneath their cities where they can protect much of their capability, but how effective it is being they have taken mountain leadership. so that will all be significant. if a ground a new campaign is executed. yeah, let's talk about that city beneath the city that system of tunnels that her mom's has build up over the years that added to guys being one of the most pop, densely populated areas on the planet. what does that mean for a possible ground offensive? these are the challenges for the i definitely would be great, almost historical, although you guys are the guys as it is not one of the dentist places on there it is definitely a high density and uniquely probably to use

a lot of other bells i've, i've studied from us it's been years not longer building tunnels, underneath the civilian population on purpose for military military design. i mean there are tunnels and so training spaces and a lot of bottles bores. but from us as doug, there's deeper and deeper some up to 200 plus feet under the ground that makes it a considerably harder and much more destructive if a game ground campaign is to get those military capabilities, which most of them are underground. and affairs are, of course, of this conflict spilling over what are the chances of other actors being dragged into the war? a man, there's always high chance. although i, as a new professor strategy, a more is politics by other means. the idea of how to have a very narrow but also larger than they've ever tried the political and military

objective, but the actions of other state actors, other non state actors like the program i'm talking about before a really unknown. but i'm, this is why you keep open communications up with, especially state actors, to not do it to send signs of the parents to uphold all the rules of international law on following the rules of law in the execution of any, any, were not the targets of lee, and i'm all of that will come into play on what happens next in this war, which is to me, defined clearly as from the tear stack of october 7th to now the mission of the idea to destroy. i'm unable to get building is israel prepared for a scenario? they have probably been been gearing out for for longer. but can you ever prepare for the facts on the ground that are as you just laid out, are very, very complex. as right now, i think idea of the,

or the is realize very prepared for a multi from or a we all hope it doesn't go go that way. it will be severely catastrophic or regional aspects for civilian casualties. it would be terrible. it's not the 1st time idea of has fault a multiple front war to create a forefront war. and, and there have been plenty of allies to say that they would stand with israel in the protection of its citizens in the end of this nation. but nobody wants that to happen. i think every political common i've heard is that don't go that way. exactly. and diplomatic efforts are running high right now to avoid precisely that that was john spencer's and the madison policy for him. thank you so much. thank you. to wester enough got us don't know where a series of earthquakes and after shocks have left thousands of people homeless. the quakes of been centered around here at providence. so you can see it there on

the map. the lenses, the quakes have killed nearly 1400 people and says over 60000, others have been directly affected. whole villages have been completely flattened and families buried beneath the rubble. any survivors have flooded the area or, or having to sleep out in the open. the un says some $93000000.00 is needed to immediately help those impacted as humanitarian coordinator for a found a sound gave this recent update. the most needs at this stage is really shelter because it's already cold at night. people stay in the boat and as i mentioned, they are for, even if they have all of this that on a completely destroyed, they will not go into these. how does this but do because they have the form of the shots. we want to take a closer look now at the situation in the hair of province and bringing our shouldn't believe he's the of got a son director and save the children and joins us tonight. from kabul, mr. malik, welcome to the w for earthquakes in a single week. at least 1300 people are dead,

many more left homeless. how are people in her own coping? so thank you very much so as, as you'd like, events and data like at least the quick since 7th of october. it's about 6 subject of scale which has shaken the organs of you don't have to do the western part of a one is done um like more than $1500.00 people have died. more than 7000 of homes have been completely destroyed or damaged. even people on the list, they are forced to sleep open door for me, windows, the drones to go back. and if i took over the dining back to their homes because of the field of other shops that wants to make the store eating concert reports of shocks as well. the latest assessments identified approximately

a 144 being 1000. people will deduct in support to put their life together, almost half of the images ultimately for the person that you're doing. this also includes around 17000 people with disability in 1000 female 100 families. and then when we speak of the children dilemma, vd that if i because the doctor shots continuing to be funded across the region, many have lost any everything. then in there in desperate need of emergency shelter forward. what the other, the central services requiring medical you have the also need a mental health support the one of a come to psychological impact of this is a sofa. um yeah. as a christian they are dealing with are you able to provide any of that at this point, given the circumstances? yes. do we have the you just started going in and see if we're doing that, but those are responding to the sizes on ground. we are trying to provide essential

services, but most of the doing partners and other agencies and really going to use these, looking on the ground to provide essentially medically shelter support. um, and as i at least be able to tell them, is it, can you buy from living with other visitations we have supporting families. we things like that. families on big guy support. why essential services they need to be stabilized together. like for children with deals and building and medicine, another essentially and also focusing on legal whitening was to coordinating with other partners to look at further assistance to the most effective date. he goes in and hit up the and also looking at providing psycho social support was affected by setting up spaces and thought that they have locations when i bought those over there that i had services. in addition to that, we're also looking at the possibility of operating tracking for these bases and, and other services. and that is all the discussion going on about the winter. i

zation response window is sitting in quite fast, but the better is, is going down with extreme things. and i was looking at the better for the past because before i started talking to you, and in the next couple of days the, the template, could we go down around 8 at night. if you can living with the family, just let me know if you talked about coordinating with other organizations, i do want to know how the telephone are cooperating with 8 organizations such as yours to so soft a lot of um on the ground. uh we have the pools which we needed to deliver to our services. and um, do you have not faced any significant challenges on the ground? um and it's, it's like from that perspective it is okay for now. that's what i can see. it is

a crisis on top of an ongoing humanitarian crisis. what is the overall situation of children in afghanistan at the moment, especially of course, the situation of girls. so as you'd like to be mentioned, this is a crisis. in both cases of the sun was already facing us. a gentleman who didn't make situation with around 13 with enough the front population declares as independent and assistance of that approximately 15 point. 5000000 required of us. they made her get on assistance on food, and half of the population level d's, approximately half a close to half of the students. and goals will have uh, because, and a lot of times we also do appreciate the fact that the one is done is coming over for the use of conflict. and on top of that, you have the drought in various parts of the country we have now this week we have

other natural disasters. we have the economy, which is not by the governing because of the because of the political situation, but also looking at the fact that it to the funding coming the ones on these also, it is really being cut down by various doing those on this is quite willing comes on fast, only to be approximately 34 percent of the community and as fast as possible. and we'll go together by you and. and buttons was actually, is meant to be funded at the moment as we speak to you in the last of funding to be able to cater to the people in the do you get the sense that with everything world of kind of son is being forgotten? so definitely we, we are quite concerned about the fact that not only because of the crisis, but otherwise of one is done, a has been ignored and this is absolutely the only time to isolate of one is done

and leave of one people in this situation. um yes uh what's happening in middle east euclid and glasses. so don, cynthia has an impact on the funding coming to a lot of fun. but m like in addition to that for you, otherwise seen, lack of then just uh or what kind of like in the direction of invest in the one is done when it comes to funding from bonus as are suddenly you've got to stand director and say the children, thank you so much for your time tonight. thank you. the russia and china are united, but what they themselves have branded a limitless friendship. now the country's leaders, water, and food and, and changing pain are meeting for talks in beijing. seeking to deepen that in friendship even further, the 2 will be meeting on the sidelines of the belgian road for me, she's global infrastructure initiative, but really it's

a visit designed to showcase to the world. they are shared vision for a new international order comes as to a political fault, lines hardened after russia's invasion of ukraine. and now the last her attack on israel. beijing rejects western criticism of its partnership with moscow, saying if can cooperate with any country, it was about the french of we can now speak to attend sola. he's a research analyst at the alliance for security democracy. his research focuses on china is growing political and economic assertiveness. good. you have you on the day now, where does the russian chinese friendship currently stand? what does each side one from the other and what are they getting to? thank you very much for having me on your show. um, so both countries have a very clear share to interest and pushing back against the democratic block led by the united states. russia is struggling militarily in ukraine. china is going

through an economic downturn of its own. so in a way, kind of make sense that they would look to regroup and shore up there, makes sense alliance. now, i think what russia, once from china is quite clear. it once continued that, that was, i e mail it 3 support that has received with china, sending it to, you know, uh spare parts for vehicles and those sort of things and its, uh, oregon. c crane. they once continued economic supports with china buying a russian commodities and it was continued diplomatic and media supports to break the isolation of western sanctions. that sounds really good. any less, i know a lot more then then china needs rush. i doesn't. and so i, that would be the initial impression, but in fact, i think china also wants things from russia and china needs to go on in some sort of as soon as i mentioned that there was a bit of an economic downturn going on there and rushes keep commodities will definitely help, but china also lacks this kind of the real quality of prestige that russia has,

for instance, in a lot of the crews that have happened in africa in recent years, expression flags that the demonstrators are flying despite the fact that it's china that has been boring, billions into the confidence. so when china tries to develop these big infrastructure projects and to redraw all global institutions, it needs brush up by its side to shore up support for this new rules based ordered sprayed to establish yes, a recent report from your organization found that russia and china begun parenting each other's talking points when it comes to the war and ukraine, specifically, even though beijing is officially neutral and the conflict, what is behind the strategy? so what we have described is that china has what we call of progress and neutrality, which is officially the diplomats will say that they respect both sides, a legitimate security interest that they're not taking sides. but in practice,

they will interview russian officials much more often than ukrainian ones. they will always try to minimize the violence of the war that is happening by cool in a, by cooling at a, an intervention or a special operation. and again, this is part of this general strategy of countering western messaging in western narratives globally. and in particular, in africa, again, we're trying to stake media are very presence. i think it's very useful for russia to have chinese take media relay in russian token coins. yeah, and we don't have much time, but this of course, always happens with, with, with china and taiwan tensions brewing in the background. could this narrative also possibly be paving away when, when it comes to that possible conflict? so for now, um there is evidence that pressure would probably support any movement of china

towards time one. it's just that given how hard russian is struggling in your brain, it's hard to see china starting something over time. one right now, no matter how to keep the friendship between both countries. and as the chancellor research analyst at the alliance for securing democracy, thank you so much for those insights and for your time. of course, that is our time, but make sure to stay informed. stay engaged and stay in touch so you can follow our team on the x is defined as their acs because we use that myself that nicole underscore clinic. if it's the latest headlines you're looking for. there is, of course, always our website dw, dot com for now though from the entire team here on the day. thank you so much for spending parts of your day, the
