vital issues like what needs to be done to minimize civilian casualties, to increase the flow, even more of humanitarian assistance and to gaza and to prevent the spread of the conflict to 2 other places. and i think the united states and japan are very clearly aligned on what needs to be done and what we're working to do do together as um, as i said earlier in terms of the future, i think there are few very basic things that everyone would want to achieve one is that there can be a return to a situation the status quote before october 7th, where guys it can be used as a platform to launch the most terrific terrorist attacks that anyone can imagine. and at the same time, it's vitally important that the palestinian aspirations for governing themselves for being the ones to decide their own futures are, are realized. and so we have to work to both of those things at the same time. and

that's what we're trying to do. this for the next question i keep saying was the us, you're watching the news coming to live from berlin. we've been following a live news conference with antony blink and the secretary of state. following a meeting of g 7 wealthy nations in japan. entity blinking was commenting on what took place in the meeting. he said that the, of course, the, the, that the conflict between garza and israel was at the top of the agenda there for that g 7 meeting. and he gave a couple of interesting points regarding what the 7 members agreed on at that meeting. he said they did agree on the need for humanitarian pauses. now this is of course distinguished from a cease fire, which friends have been calling for at the u. n. for example, so a humanitarian pauses they agreed on that he said he also warned any external actors. so we're thinking about getting involved in that conflict. let's say that's

a build reference to your ran is proxies in the region to stay a way to not get involved. he called, he also said for in terms of the future of gaza when this war is over. he said, getting guys that cannot be governed by hum us that there, there should be no forcible displacement of civilians that israel cannot reoccupied gaza. and he said that guys and needs to be unified with the west bank under the palestinian authority. beyond that, he said that the g 7 nations had agreed to continue supporting ukraine and its effort to repel russia's invasion, and that that would remain in priority. he said that the ukraine, he said, is not going to be allowed to, to lose its momentum against russia. again, anthony, blinking, they're addressing the news conference in japan. you're watching the w. there's

no back to our top story in gaza. the loss of life continues to rise. as israel intensifies its operations. the hum us run health industry now says the death toll has surpassed $10300.00 people, mostly civilians. many of them children seems like this have become all too common in gaza over the past month. children, a band, the brunt of this conflict is red. it says it is targeting her mazda militants, hiding among civilians, thousands of palestinians. i'm trying to get away from the combat in northern gaza, using whatever means of transport. they can find the leading to what they hold is safety. but that is fall from god. indeed. day after day we are hearing from our colleagues that even though to

a lab that the south is not safe, we've had colleagues lose family members in the south, including one of our colleagues now who 7 year old son had lived, was killed in an air strike on rock a couple of weeks ago. and what we're hearing in addition is not just is it not safe in the south, but similar to the north people. now we're struggling to find the basic necessities of food, clean water, and even waiting in line 56 hours a day, just to give half a portion of bread. these 2 brothers survived the last at the fusion camp in central garza. 7 in an area where the is really ami advise people to go for the safety

for the south pauses of displeased being checking this you in school of the whole of the new says we're still headed towards the unknown. the no one knows we things are going well. how long will we continue? we've left out homes that houses are being destroyed. and we have struggling in the streets. according to the un, almost 1500000 people have been displeased across the gaza strip since october 7th . take a look at a few of the other stories making headlines around the world today. in the us state of ohio, voters have backed protecting abortion rights in a referendum. the pole was just one of several closely watch local and state contests. taking place in america. in kentucky, voters re elected the democratic governor despite the state backing donald trump by more than 25 points in 2020 us in spain. protesters of class with police outside

a series of reforms which include measures to tackle corruption on a recent visit to keep the head of the commended the worth. ukraine has done in its efforts to become a member of the european here. i want to tell you how impressed we are by the reforms you've made in the midst of the war. you have reached many milestones, reforming your justice system, curbing the audit docs good. as tackling money laundering as much more brussels has false strength. the process will ukraine removing some requirements, but key the still expected to undertake extensive performs before it can join the, you know, small task, but they will be big rewards being an e u members stayed within title ukraine to substantial sums of money, large subsidies for agriculture and infrastructure spending,

ukraine is one of the world's top agriculture produces in the use, it would take the top spot from front and get the largest shape of the use generous farm subsidies. a lead internal study by the end you counsel simulated what ukraine's joining the european union would mean for the bronx. budgets, it showed key reload would be entitled to nearly $30000000000.00 jurors every year under the car and framework. and that money will have to come from some way. net computers to the you are the countries such as germany from initially all the users are be the ones you great. joyce, you these companies i might take, you have pay even more into the u back chair and net call receivers off the phone such as a storm. yeah, probably 3. yeah. 3. yeah,

i know some of these countries will have this on distribution to your disadvantage . we use using you fall and farm is, would have to take a 20 percent cut in their subsidies. so gro was in ukraine can also be subsidized. that's likely to be unpopular. so some member states, according for reform in the before it can open its stores to new members. we need to have the possibility saw, owns funding for example. so that's the money the us spending. we have, for example, getting all of texting big companies or rich people are financial speculations. instead of just asking member states like them and the, or oscar or the netherlands to give money to the you. aside from the thorny issue of money, ukraine joining the hughes would also also have the balance of power in the block.

it will be the fit, the biggest member states by population size. and that will give it considerable clouts in the decision making. a coalition of ukraine, poland as, as the east and members could see the focus and power, the center of the block shift from west to east. so what kind of news can you credit expect to hear from the european commission today? i asked our brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena or, well good news, i would say terry, because we expect the european commission today to recommend to a member states a they getting the e u memberships talks with ukraine, of, with some cabinets though, on, for instance, uh the exact date of such talks that is something that the commission is probably not going to endorse. and they will also say that there is still work that needs to

be done, that you, queen still needs to work harder on reply forms to a fight against corruption to get rid of all the guards and to guaranteed national minorities rights. but they wants to send a positive signal to ukraine. will that be now? so key of, of course not because they would like to be a member of the u. a. p in union tomorrow, there are saying we are implementing reforms that a lightning speed even though we are actively at war with russia and even some member states within the european union. and would like to see some gradual steps off enlargements beginning tomorrow. but we expect to the commission to send this a positive signal without endorsing a day, and it's are still it's up still up for the member states to decide by the end of the year. whether there are really committed to opening accession talks with

ukraine. you create, of course, is not the only one knocking at the door. what about the other countries hoping to become members of the e. u. alexander, how are there prospect smoking as well? i think that small dover will be happy as it seems they were granted. candidates state has to be of the width you claim, and we expect that you are pin commission also to propose this todd or succession talks with them as well. then georgia is also on the agenda here with some reports stay stating that georgia will be granted the candidates stay to stay at a i would see as a surprise because they're all officials saying, though i'm not making enough progress. and even though the georgia population is mostly pro european and their government is trying to forge close to us again with russia. and the most contentious question is whether both yeah,

had to go in. i should also get the green lights to start. accession talks with the european union, a, with many officials saying that they're half a scene back sliding on the rule of law there. and all the democratic principles a. so we will see what type kind of decision and the you appeal recommendation. the european commission will announce today on bus now has a governor you enlargement has always been a contentious topic of what concerns alexandra do. current member states have about enlarging the block. while it has been a contentious topic, but it is on the agenda again, and it is because of russia's more on ukraine because the european union now understands that it needs to become a more important deal politic player ended. it is in their own interest to

forge closer ties with their partners and neighbors in the region. but you are right. there are still many member states were saying, we are not fit enough to welcome you members. first of all, we needs to change or decision of process because on many issues, especially on foreign policy issues, the p. n union needs you to name it c. and that is difficult to achieve with $27.00 members, and it will be much more difficult to achieve with the $32.00 net members, for instance, so many into your opinion are saying we need to reform our union. and because before we are able to welcome new members, alexandra, thank you. that was the w use bureau chief in brussels, alexander phenomena. thank you, terry. as you're watching the news, uh, just reminder of the top story we're following for you this, our us secretary state entity blinking says there is unprecedented unity among the

leading industrialized nations on the israel gallons a conflict and on ukraine speaking at the g 7 tokyo summit blinking again backed israel's right to defend itself following the monster attacks last month. what he said, israel should not reoccupied guns. this is the w news on terry martin. thanks. no 3 is the most powerful woman, little sister of the dictates a mysterious strategic who is can you tell me you can say she represents a mixture of expectations and disappointment. the thing is do you think it's the red princess stuff, november 25th on dw.
