is urban palm. the athens we're already seeing that and partially but it hasn't begun yet. we are having some technical difficulties you're going in and now we're going to but we're going to soldier through this. the id f has also said its soldiers are fighting a mos in close quarters. describe what the challenges in risk of an operations like this or quote the premium is that in urban areas and urban areas are usually benefit. the defender in this reinforce positions from us has eyes on the east road for says using their reconnaissance using brian. so for each really force a to hey, rection, pretty much and when it comes to fighting, it's literally 5. okay, i think we're having too many difficulties with moving them around,

but we'll certainly have her back on and we'll fix those connectivity issues. moving on the un says of school being used as a shelter has been damaged after israel launched an air strike near the building. officials in gaza say at least 20 people were killed in the bombing. the humanitarian situation in the territory remains dire. with more than a 1000000 people displaced and many without food or water. so the, the aftermath of an air strike on a school turn shelter, run in the northern cause, the strip officials from the mouth run, health ministry say at least 20 people were killed and the attack, the children under 10 were cut into pieces. wherever the arrows,

where's the muslim nation? where is the spirit of this long? dead children falling before our eyes. what did we do? those wounded and strikes are taken to overcrowded hospitals where anesthetic and medicine are running out and is really in fargo. one fuel entering concept means the generators that power like support systems for new boards and critically ill patients will soon stop running. israeli officials say to will transfer fuel to hospitals when they deem it necessary. north mass new i've so far we have the local fuel into the gaza strip. and i mean, we are checking the situation there every day on myself, but it's note that for more than a week now because i'm, it has been telling us that tomorrow the fuel and hospitals will run out with him. so far that has not run out enough, we will watch when that day arrives, the fuel will be transferred with monitoring to the hospital. they are holding, we will do everything needed to ensure that it will not reach them off interest on us that it will not end up serving more. amc must the real needs of treating the

sick people to coordinate these rarely strikes and cause a have left over a 1000000 palestinians displaced with no where left to go. some families have had to take shelter in their cars. f, when we were in northern casa, and we moved to another region, but there was also more boardman. we sought refuge in the schools, but then they were gone. so we came here on unit, so there isn't enough space for about a minute. set up tents outside, but there's nowhere to sleep, sleep in the car. so there's no work for the children that everyone sleeps on their cars. and how much did you tell them out? several 100 people to leave because of the other russell border crossing. but most cousins are trapped for more or less and now speak to juliet to law, the director of communications for unreal the united nations relief and works agency for palestinian refugees. she joins us now from jordan's capital, amman, through the at the commissioner general of honor of visited garza and said that he

has never seen anything like it paint a picture of what he saw. yes, he did say that it was a very, very sad day for him, one of the scientists in his humanitarian service. and he's been doing that sort of work for nearly 30 years now. and he was very sad to see the people of gauze, all the police didn't in the community in gaza. so stripped of the community, only they were asking for was a sip of water and a piece of bread. and it is safe to say that we've never, ever seen goes on in such a desperate situation as we have a few days ago as more than 1000000 people have been forced to feed their homes.

our own tasks imputed our own resources stretched through the the limits, the limits of the limits increase of density. israel says it has essentially besieged garza city. how many people do you estimate or still in the city? and what are they facing? the siege is across the kansas through not only and also city the holy gaza straight from north to south is on this stage, which means the very, very, very lift to aid and assistance is coming in and including those trucks that's already built in the ocean. that's really do not correspond to at all to the overwhelming needs of the people. it is very, very hard for people to get out of golf. huh. um this house come on top of a 16 year long located that guy has been going through us

secretary of state blinking is and is realtor pressed for humanitarian pauses. and gotcha. what is it that you required in that deal, in order to provide effective help on the ground, given that under our facilities have been also had an air strikes on there? i have been calling for many long weeks now for a humanitarian ceasefire. this is long overdue. we have lost 72 clicks of ours, including most recently our click my, who is her self misplaced. she also had, says it can a disability. and she was working with us as a software that we offer. she was kids with members of her family. we are quoting for humanitarian cease fire. once again, our records have been falling on deaf ears and we are asking how many more on how

much more suffering grease unless how much more a cease fire is very much needed for humanity. but to the extent that you can get particular and specific about this, you've also been hit, your infrastructure has been damaged. how long does that ceasefire need to be imagined? you get one, what do you actually need from all the forces here in order to do the work that you do? how long is the cease fire forever? seems fine. you fill out and as far as facilities, yes, 50 of our facilities of you and facilities among them, schools as well. but those are headquarters and also city. they have been impacted during this war and only yesterday you may have seen 4 schools. that's where shunting, but on the 20000 did the have been damaged because of the book environment. i'm because of the ongoing for the have those un facilities. i have the un slacks on

them. we share the coordinates with partners to the conflict. and there were people who were killed, including children, who were seeking shelter and safety in june facilities. and i'm curious about something speaking to the media. your henri achieve said that quoting now hunger is turning into anger and that's a billions and gosh, i have absolutely nothing or people already starving in gaza. there's certainly getting hungry, sir. they're certainly getting hungry, but my kids are emptying up our own supplies are running at those. it's just 3 k of 8 that has been coming in to downsize since the 21st of october is by far not enough. is by far enough to know. we have been giving, we'd slower to decrease, but also the bakery is, are running out of cooking dogs and, but they're running out of fuel. this is exactly why we've been asking for an urgent shipments of fuel. that is julia to the director of communications for on

many, many thanks. it's us secretary of state and a blinking is in israel to press officials on measures that would reduce harm to civilians in gaza blinking has arrived and tell of the if you will meet with is really 5 minutes for benjamin netanyahu to discuss, allowing more aid in regards to the homeless run, garza health ministry says were the 9000 people have died in is really bombardment, mostly women and children. earlier i asked the dw corresponding rebecca readers and tell of eve what israel was expecting to hear from blinking, as well as anybody can, has a meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. this morning was seen the 1st photos that also going to be meeting with the circle cabinets in the carry of the military base. she can see behind me in central tel aviv. now, he's here with

a similar message. he's on calls coming with a message of solidarity through the us as he has done in his previous visits. but he's also he, with the mission of trying to convince israel to limit the number of civilian casualties in this world. we know that the pressure is on from the us in terms of the civilian casualties. but we've, we've been hearing that the us telling as well that is there, it's not a good law states. they that they need to try to limit the civilian casualties in order to prevent the public opinion and turning on them. we know that he's calling for not a full phase 5 but, but the limits of humanitarian say 5 to try to allow more a to come into the goals and we know that's desperately needed. we also trying to get most civilians out of this trip. so that's definitely high on the agenda. he's also going to be discussing the hostage situation, which we know has been made more difficult than negotiations,

stalling somewhat because of the ground invasion. also on the agenda will be talks of trying to stop this from spilling into a wide a conflict. we've seen that escalating on the northern border with his blog. we are expecting the leader of has gone off to speak a pass on this relo this afternoon and everyone's waiting with bated breath to see what he's going to be saying in terms of that regional conflict. but there are, you know, all these fees that this could become a much, much wider complex and that's certainly going to be on a lincoln's list today. he'll be heading to jordan as well, to attend a summit of all the arab leaders and there who will also be discussing the future of jobs and what jobs are going to look like in a post conflict. 12 rebecca is where it says its troops have completely encircled the guns as largest city. i'm curious, what the word is there on the ground, is it to many people signaling

a new stage and the way that is won't be, is riley military. all saying that this is now a 3rd phase in the war, and that's certainly what it looks like. they've said that they're now completely in circling the city that they have come around the city from 3 main points. so they, they, they, they see it as a focal point, and this was the main come on sense of the main area where i have mass offer, right? you know, we know that i'm off operate across the gaza strip and you know, certainly will i be as riley's say that they've targeting all the parts of this trip as well, particularly in the north, but also in the south where they've told so many civilians to head to, to leave the north, we were hearing that the 2 pots of the dolphin stripped the north in the south of now almost being completely cut off. so any civilians trying to leave now from the northern part of this trip and find it very, very difficult even more difficult to do so. so this definitely does look like the

next phase that sold this thing. and it's going to be a lengthy phase. we're hearing definitely these ground about be also city very tightly, densely packed, said it still has many, many civilians in it will likely to see a lot more is rarely a military casualties as well. we have been seeing the number of casualties on the as riley side rise and it's full. but when they get into this a very, very difficult come back on the ground combat, you know, mans and man combat you will, in this tightly, densely packed areas that have most know very, very well. they have many tunnel systems that they can use to come out of time. a thought that these i saw suffering, even rebecca, we only have but half a minute or so. but i do want to ask you another matter. israel has announced that he will send guardians who had been stranded inside israel when the war began back into the siege. gotcha. well, what more do we know about that?

well, actually the returns have already begun. wait hearing that some people have already been returned. i can't give you exact numbers at this stage. we're still looking into the details, but we know that around $20000.00 and have permit some and many of them were he is split from their families when the war sauces or when they attack happened on october 7 and the war began. and now we know that israel has 7 old ties with garza, it no longer will allow anyone from the israel even off to the conflict is over. so those, what permits of course will say that, and we've even been hearing that people who were here on medical permits or assisting people who were here for medical treatment, are also being rounded up and returned there is and is riley back in a, a n g o here, working to try and have some of the design thousands released. but at this stage the, the, the dates, houses still line on the ground. we're looking into exactly how many people are being retained. that's rebecca waiters intel,

of these things we had eventually blinking the visit to israel. today dw washington bureau chief in his poll talked to nathan track deputy spokesman at the us department of state about the united states plans to press for a humanitarian pause in the israel hamas war of nathan tech. thank you so much for making time for the thank you so much. glad to be here. so uh the administration is seeking a pos in the fighting between israel and thomas. how can the us government influence from into smith and yahoo doesn't seem to slow down? well, just to clarify what we're looking for is not just a single pause, but rather pauses. and in fact, as my colleague mike miller, the department spokesperson has noted before, we have seen an effective facto pauses in the past to ensure, for example, that humanitarian aid can enter in by a truck through the rough gate to into hudson. and at the same time, we've seen pauses to ensure that the american hostages can get released and leave

us as well. so our goal, when we say humanitarian pause, is to ensure that military operations do not interfere with the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the civilians who need it. do not interfere with the, the, with the release of hostages or with the exit of 4 national, stuck in gaza, or just trying to go home. so is 5 minutes and there's an yahoo kind of listening to the wishes of the us government. well look at the end of the day, we enjoy a very strong relationship with israel. and that strong relationship allows us to be in a position to offer our is really friends advice and the best practices of our own experience in fighting terrorism. and that's exactly what we're doing. we are making clear to these realize that to as democracies, we have a responsibility to do, take every measure to ensure that she a human life is preserved. civilian life is preserved that the international humanitarian law is respected and protected. unfortunately, by the way, it's just important to note that how mass,

of course has shown no regard for international humanitarian law. so the board and the burden is not solely on israel here, right? it's in fact important to note that to israel is responding to a despicable, brutal terrorist attack that took place on october 7th. no country, no sovereign country would exec would accept or do nothing in the face of that kind of attack. and he's really simply exercising the right it has, and the obligation it has to defend. so the arab muslim community here in the united states is raising concerns the frustration about present biting being and such a strong support of 5 minutes and attend you all. and so i'm gonna say no, we won't vote for him again next year. what does that mean for the president? well, we don't do politics here at the state department, but there's certainly no question. as i said before, the united states as a diverse and vibrant democracy, people have a wide range of views and they exercise those use at the ballot box. i think what's important also to note is that of course, that we have lots of friends and partners in the arrow broad and the muslim world overseas. we've engaged in robust,

almost daily conversations with our partners in the air world about this issue. and we're grateful for those relationships that we have and we're going to continue to work with allies and partners including cartridge like egypt, jordan contacts, and others to ensure that we can protect the palestinian civilians and ensure that israel i have maintains its right to exist. and defend itself, secretary of state blinking is right now, travelling in this region. how big is the fear that the conflict spreads and might also bring terrorism back to the united states? well, our goal, of course, is to stop this conflict from spiraling from spreading. how may i ask, who's doing everything and can to pull in other our regional countries to destabilize the entire middle east? we of course, firmly oppose that. and part of the reason why this is the secretary's, i believe, 3rd trip in just a matter of a few weeks to the region is because you so firmly committed to doing everything we can using the tools of diplomacy to ensure that this conflict does not spread throughout the region. what does this conflict in this row mean for the conflict

for the war in ukraine? well, as we like to say in united states, we can walk and shoot them at the same time. we can do 2 things at the same time. we're a great nation and we've got great partnerships and alliances around the world as well. the united states will continue to provide ukraine with what he needs to do, what it takes to defend itself, from russia's brutal unprovoked uh, and illegal further invasion. it's our goal continues to be to provide a training with, with what it needs militarily, diplomatically and economically, to ensure that it can defend its own sovereignty. we have not forgotten refrain. crate is still at the top of the agenda and even if it's a new speaker in the house who kind of sitting pretty much the opposite of them from addressing, what would be your message to ukrainians? can ukrainians rely on the united states at the ukrainians can absolutely rely on the united states president by dint has made that clear secretary blinking has made that clear. uh and uh, will he be frank and also appreciate the fact that we build a very strong set of alliances, strength and nato like it's never been strengthened before. uh and uh, and

a broad coalition of countries of over 50 countries. in fact, you are working to provide the brain with what it needs to defend itself frontier. thank you very much. thank you. appreciate it. let's take a look now at some more stories making news around the world storm tearing continues to better western europe with at least 7 dest reported record wins of up to 200 kilometers per hour, were measured in france, where some 1200000 homes, were left without power in spain, hundreds were evacuated, moved valencia as the strong winds. fan wildfires complicating of work. a fire san bank meant freed founder of the crypto currency exchange f t. x was found guilty on all counts at a fraud trial in new york, beckman fried cheated customers and investors out of billions of dollars before after u. x. once the world's 2nd largest script to exchange collapse last year. and australian woman has been charged with murdering her former in laws and another woman with

learned a lot about russia strategy and has been preparing all year for one ukranian military . well now prioritize large electrical substations for air defense, the stations deliver electricity to up to half a 1000000 households in big cities like here and prove valuable to russian attacks . engineers are also rebuilding smaller substitutions damaged and russian strikes and housing them and blast resistant concrete. last year the russians destroyed around 3000 local substitutions just in the key of reaching. the new sheds can't withstand a direct hit from a missile, but they can absorb shrapnel from a nearby blast. mostly with, i mean, well maybe that will be some damage. some what they think is that there are many impacts. they would be a significant and we can quickly react to repair the subjects via make it work again. despite the lessons learned ukraine's energy infrastructure is going into this winter at a disadvantage, russia has destroyed a vast amount of expensive equipment, and replacements are only arriving in ukraine piece by piece. and this means that

these indians, in general, or for some flor then before falls as soon as they have to be even be 3 and from one side to rebuild. prepared to be fair understanding, what's happened to be have a lot of training and preparation down from either side to from one side via on the, to the position the heart. jenko believes russian no longer harbor is the illusion that it can bring ukraine cities to their needs through attacks on infrastructure. i believe was at the if you think it will be comp, but to be real sort of why air raid sirens and ukraine's capital key of have been fairly quiet and recent weeks. but few expect that the last very long and here's a reminder of the top stories. israel's military says it has around, it goes to the city as it presses a head with its campaign against them. ok. the army says it is encountering mines

and booby traps and that the militants have prepared themselves for battle. you're a secretary of state antony blinking. easy, nice role for meetings with political theaters, is expected to call on the government to minimize arm to civilians in gaza. this is the w news line from berlin, how documentary series dock film is up. next, i'm like, look through. i'll be back with more news at the beginning of the next hour to apply for the
