were being used by him. us agencies is trying to avoid civilian casualties. we are giving, besides instructions to govern residents near from us centers of gravity urging them to temporarily move away from the dinner that from us put them in. we're dropping leaflets with q r codes. that opens a map, guiding cousins to say for areas in rough uh, a southern gaza people try to pull survivors from under the rubble. the claim is rarely, authorities told them it would be safe in the sea to look on the we were asleep and say, they told us we're off. i was a safe area, but a 20 past 10. they struck it, destroying all the block. there were children and women in martyrs. there is no
5:04 pm
safe area of neither rafa nor fine eunice, nor gaza, nor day or month ago. no, no for a whole new one is one of the israel expands. it's so peroration and gaza. the barely function hospitals. there are expecting more arrivals in the coming hours and days, our correspondents, rebecca rivers in jerusalem and gave us this update as well as he's been reporting the call. we did get confirmation yesterday on reports that we were already hearing . troops had made their way is made their way south, and that was indeed confirmed by the as riley ministry yesterday evening. we know that hon eunice, in particular that city in the south with many people has been told to evacuate too, and many hundreds of thousands. those people have been trying to take shelter. they, we know that is a focal point for the military. they have said that they will be doing a similar operation as was taken as was taken in the news that they will not be
5:05 pm
changing, tackle, pulling back as have been has, as has been called for by the us in particular saying that they didn't want to stay the same kind of for us to see that we saw in the know that has been ignored by the israeli military. and they have bound to continue in the same manner that they're going to be targeting what they deem to be come on, st as of come off. of course, how must members and an infrastructure. so we can expect to see a lot more heavy fighting in the south stimulus of what we've seen in the north. of course, we have the problem. now we're seeing all of these people that of sheltering. we've got 1800000 as the estimate of internally displaced people and they're all trying to take shelter in the southern areas including hon units. that's why many, many, many of them are and they've been given this kind of map that's broken off into to squares. and oh, each has
5:06 pm
a number and they've been told to work out to locate where they are in that map under that number. and then each day they'll be given a, they'll be a list of numbers of, of places that will be targeted and people are expected to move. the problem being, of course, that these people really don't have any way to go. they're running out of places to run and hide and we know that the bombardment has been taking place in the south. even as the operation was, was targeting the notes. so, you know, the places are becoming fewer and further between so the, the, a humanitarian terry, in situations of people in the south, certainly not getting any any better. and in fact, set to get a lot less the israel you mentioned that there is coming under increasing pressure to avoid civilian casualties in this new phase of the war as well. of course, is it showing any sign of changing its tactics in gaza because of that? no, i mean the short answer really is no. we've heard from benjamin netanyahu. we've heard
5:07 pm
from the heads of these ready miller tre, that they are going to keep up the pace that they, what we was saying in the north, prior to that limited cease fire that they are planning to carry on at this with the same for us city in the south the, we know that they were told that that sold on the we can completely came to a halt to renew a say sign. we know that israel pulled out on saturday finally from us saying also that they are not going to assume any talks until they're there that until there is a cease fire until there is some pause in the fighting. and then they'll resume told we know that both sides has made these kind of the month before and then have joined towards when the time has come. right. we know that the us, that's our in egypt still pushing to redeem those piece talks. all those at least cease find limited se side talk a bit at the moment. they have been completely stalled. and so the situation looking to get a lot worse in the south, although as you say, they are operating owners as it goes straight forward or supporting from jerusalem
5:08 pm
. thank a in the us military central command has sent iran enabled attacks on an american worship. and other commercial vessels in the red sea on sunday depends it on so the us as carney shot down 3 drones in self defense. several commercial vessels were also targeted humans who the rebels have claimed responsibility for 2 attacks. you say they will keep up the strikes as long as israel continues it's war with thomas. now this is not the 1st time the who these have fired at targets in the red sea or even on israel itself. but it seems like these attacks are getting more and more dangerous, middle east expert, don't you get a told me why? of course them who piece of showing all the military capacities. but i think it's also clear to your message from the wrong that we run doesn't want to get involved directly in the cause of war. uh once to show it simple attention of the terms and
5:09 pm
of course the bottom under the area which is like positive control of the who is these is an important changing place because it's a, it's a straight for international trade. and so, as of course, the opposing gall and is a reminder that the war can become regional also without start to know if you are. what is the base and engineer supporting her last in a fight against israel, or sparking a wider conflict as well? of course the nbc is really easy to strategic because on the, for the movies it's part of the claim that israel is the main enemy though lake city, there is of course no, no, no, no frontier, uh no direct, territorial contact with israel. by for the who's the lucas business, a main strategic target. they want to show the entire muslim and be as well, that they're on the side of the palestinians at this time. and again, that israel is the main enemy,
5:10 pm
and of course they see the 99 states as the main geo political patient of israel. but again, i think uh they are doing best to support uranium because of the terms in the region and allow ron not to get directly involved in the conflict. because iran wants to shift the conflict away from the persian gulf area where it's about to normalize with the saudi arabia and other a gulf states. and it wants to again shift the conflict. uh, so the width and therefore uh, the receipt in the area are on the, on the image or on the bottom under is a theater for that kind of consultation that was middle east experts dining again. let's take a look now at some of the stories making use around the world today. the palestinian authorities health ministry says 2 of our students has been shot dead and is really read in the northern occupied westbank. this video shows a shoot out in cold celia on the territories border with israel is really military says it was conducting counter terrorism activity in the city. families of
5:11 pm
hostages, who remain in gaza, have demanded to meet with israel security cabinet. they said stories of captivity from some of the hostages release have caused deep fear among relatives of those still being held by homeless militants. the group has threatened to protest and front of israel's defense, ministry of government ministers do not respond by monday evening. the chinese leaders, aging thing has welcome to his bella, rudy, and counterpart, alexander location go to beijing and his 2nd trip to china this year. lucas sango pledge that his nation would always be a reliable partner for his host nation. she's a china would oppose any interference by what he called external forces in bella, bruce, which hosts russian forces. russian source is a senior general has been killed in ukraine. original governor says major general,
5:12 pm
let him your xbox. he was killed after stepping on a land. mine is believe somebody was in the her son region at the time the russian defense ministry has not confirmed the incident results. president lula enough seo, at least in the silva and members of his government, are in berlin for consultations with chancellor or last shots and his cabinet. high level meetings between the governments were suspended while right wing populous gyre. both narrow was an office. the resumption of ties raises, hopes that progress on projects like the plan free trade agreement between the issue and merkle store that a south america has major trading blocks can now move forward. at a joint press conference, chancellor schultz said both countries are pushing for the deal to become a reality for the most important trading part, the in south america with more than 1000 german brazilian companies making a significant contribution in order to exploit the enormous potential that lies in
5:13 pm
the trade, anti cannot make relationship result and germany support the signing of the, you know, consumer agreement. we are strongly committed to ensuring that the agreement is not finalized switched. please, you need at least a political editor. mckayla is not, has more mr. how high our chance is that the e u m. south american merkel sore group will assign a free trade agreement in the next few days. it's not that terribly high. it's been 23 years in the making. i'm still counting that is resistance from none other than for his 1st present demand with my call and the president do not reveal said it will pretty much all previous presidents were against it for reasons of agricultural trade, barriers that they wish to maintain. so, and this is a very much a long term project and on the side of south america, argentina isn't fully on board either the gym and taught. so did stress that he's
5:14 pm
absolute in favor. but then there's always the way out pointing towards brussels because indian trace policy is something between brussels and the other partners. but we still hear both sides vowing that they would continue to try and convince those who are dousing such an agreement with it. being no doubt on the 2 who met to today in the child, sleep behind me, brazil in germany, that it would benefit both sides creasing lots of jobs and also laying down some foundations in terms of human rights standards, but also environmental stuff. so lots of common ground there. what else have the 2 leaders agreed on? so this was a really much a gripping meeting between germany, which is one of its key policies is standing of israel's side and maintaining to
5:15 pm
guaranteeing the security of israel. it was a visit from the global south lee, the, the, at the most important country in south america, president knew that he was saying that he has question marks of how israel is acting in gaza with so many women and children dying, that he's never seen a who a, that has produced so many dead women and children. so being very much critical of israel's actions at the same time, both pretty much being on the same page when it comes to a few to for the people, the palestinians off to disguise that conflict is over with the german chancellor. stressing that the 2 state solution must be what all sides should be working towards that. so that can also be seen as a mild criticism the of the government if in human lesson yahoo. and we also know that in the president viewed as a previously uphold for negotiations on the massive,
5:16 pm
you claim that for some of both sides don't necessarily see eye to eye. but it's a very interesting conversation on those say step. also want to have a say in who on peace in the future, and to want simply as we saw in the united nations and vote for israel, for a continuation of when they really want to see it in the fight thing here at mckayla we heard or show us there, a said brazil is germany's most important trading partner in south america. but the relationship as a whole. how important is it to germany it's. it's a very important relations. those also many cultural ties and not least how the amazon is protected. it is also one of the key policies of the german government when it comes to sustainability and to providing the very basis of life for future
5:17 pm
generations that also we so both sides stress that they want to see a whole deforestation of the amazon by 2030 which i like, there's no reporting from roland, thanks so much for that. nearly 2 years of war have taken a terrible toll on the environment of ukraine, wildlife populations in many areas have been decimated and much of the country signed ruins by showing and manmade floods. ukrainian prosecutors are now building a landmark case against russia, accusing moscow of carrying out war crimes against ukraine's environment. and the casualty of russia's war and ukraine. black seed, often washed up dead on the beach. it's one of hundreds that have been found so far . fix that suspect that so not activity of submarines disrupt the girlfriend's own orientation system so badly that they start off such a environment with casualties are growing. yup, sure. cause that the pro,
5:18 pm
if we really count the damage that has been done to the environment, we see that in some cases it has reached the level we're even exceeded the damage done to the infrastructure. i won't have it, but are we sure what to do? but kick is up to 10 firstbrook twitter. well, here's the environment in many ways. funding or depos release, carbon dioxide and toxic smoke. i'm finding of mine's damaged for us and wildlife. the biggest single environmental disaster of this for the destruction of the gulf governments, southern ukraine flooded hundreds of square culum. it is destroying not only the livelihoods of thousands of people, but also launch for some natural costs. ukraine wants to prosecute damage to the environment as a war, crime in october organize the conference to help is to take the grant department as us sending legal environment experts to take stock of the damage the noise. these people must be sent to. they need to be funded and we need to measure what can be
5:19 pm
measured. we won't be able to record every thing, but an estimate will certainly be possible. international and low does recognize environmental destruction as a war crime. but no international court has a very rude and such a case. crane is entering, you are the good territory. for when we start with that, we have to present an invoice to the occupier. for every inch of destroyed ukrainian gland. aggressors around the world need to understand the words, the costly and that the environment also has its price. given that there's my us, we're to ukraine says 2900 cases of environmental war crimes have been registered so far. i'm counting every day that was new damage to the environment. matthew collapse as a senior lecture at the essex law school with a focus on peace and security and the environment. and i asked him why no court has ever ruled on environmental damage as we're trying. and it's somewhat because of
5:20 pm
the history of, um, conflict being very focused on just human suffering, understandably, and in recent decades, we've begun to realize that the effect on the environment is extremely devastating and can have very long term consequences. and so there's been a growing interest in looking at prosecuting that types of buffets. there are real crimes, such as the destruction of civilian objects which can come to the environment and destruction of family property, which could also cover environmental facets. but they haven't been used and there was most recently amount to criminalize e commerce site itself, which would focus directly on the home to the environment to say. and that actually in the ukrainian criminal context is an existing progression. so there was
5:21 pm
a legal basis for each as well. many cases are now in the comfort as separating out the causation. and the criminal act uh, from x, the ones that are unfortunate and can have cut the consequences, but a no. per se wilcox. the venezuelan government says 95 percent of voters have supported the countries claim over the keyboard territory and neighboring piano in a referendum is not clear how correct guys will act on the results of the vote, which is criticized by the united nations participation wasn't all that high, but many go your knees are worried now that this could eventually lead to an attempt to annex the over to region a celebration, bro, accounts event, as well as capital correct us. when the results were announced, president nicholas madura, his government has been aggressively promoting the votes for weeks. now he's claiming it's been an overwhelming success. today the people spoke loudly and
5:22 pm
clearly we are going to start a new powerful phase because now we carry them in dates of the people. we carried the voice of the people. the non binding referendum on sunday, reportedly headed low turnouts. but it's what is what asked if i support the countries claim on the dispute to tablet tree as a better level, but we expect to retrieve an area that for so long has been desolate and as if it didn't have a owner. but now when you say, well it has said this is our so move ahead with they asked the key, but i loved the people. in 1899, an international tribunal transferred ownership of s a key both to great britain. after it left the region state under the control of britain's former colony guy on a for this what his government saves the type of treat belongs to it. as it was within the board is during the earliest spanish rule, correct,

a step to pitts campaign after oil was discovered. and that's the key bose of show walters in 2015. in guy on the government, validate support his president fund lead down plate the vote in venezuela saying that people in bits have a tree have nothing to say, but he couldn't hide his indignation ignoring the order for the job the principles of justice is unclear. what missouri is next, move will be following the votes, but many inc, i on i, we're afraid this could be the 1st step in a time to, to annex for region. earlier i asked our corresponding discussion link, the incorrect goes what people in both countries made of the referendum
5:24 pm
historical issue. so any those way one will save us a cable belongs to. but i swear to the fact that turn up for the referendum yesterday was the lowest we have seen in decades. it has more to do with internal political reasons, might even as well installed, but just participating in the referendum with getting my daughter up for medical advantage to justify the recently appointed electro council. it's also relevant that the selection serves the government to determine how support for my daughter stands and developing polls displayed the ground now for the presidential campaign . and what it shows is that there's a lot of work to do to win back support. my little has lost along the years for the news people, they see this dispute as a threat to what is already theirs and under their control. so i think people in both countries when seriously argue about this dispute despite the turn out in yesterday's referendum, this dispute and he mentioned that there has been going on for over a century wide event as well as president make this move now and how serious is he
5:25 pm
really about this as well that there are many reasons to recombine the as a cable, historically it should belong to better as well, but riana controls it for many years. and then as one government did for an or any access to amex, the turner toys, until a company started extracting oil and gas from this area. a few years ago, most companies are from the united states and cannot do business with venezuela due to the sanctions imposed against the administration. so there is an added interest in putting pressure to these companies and the ones to lift the sanctions against spun as well. and the threat of amex in a territory with these companies operating in them increased as bad pressure. mm hm . so, but bottom line, how realistic is it for a man as well as to take over the cube? well at this point and after yesterday's low turn out in the referendum,
5:26 pm
it is something like we, this issue will escalate beyond the international courts. now those one government will take this resource, even though it's non binding to say that they have support in claiming this territory. but we'll just have to see how these international courts will respond to these allegations. as ask us think of from caracas, venezuela. thank you. and finally, one extremes, board is usually enough for most people, but apparently not for brian grove who performed a death defying stunts combining 2 disciplines into by the american daredevil awake, sir, across an infinity full, almost 300 meters above the ground before check this out. flying over the edge and base jumping $77.00 stories to the earth below. landing safely on the beach. a grub, said he had been planning the stand for over 7 years. the
