the the, this is the w news live from the land is really full. so surround the southern garza's main city is ready. military says its troops have been to the house of con eunice off to some of the most intense fighting. and it's a game. and how the stadiums now have few options left hundreds of thousands of being told by israel to pack up and sleep by the south that the un says know what is safe in god. lots of took up $28.00, finalize and the climate change loss damage funds. we look at what that means for

floods. hit talk is done sophia a year ago, millions of families lost who they had. will that fund now help them rebuild the lights? the money to make it into very well. welcome to the program. israel says that it's troops have edited seldman. galls is largest c. the military says it's forces have now reached the hoss of hon. eunice, and have befits seats surrounded, following what it describes as the most intense day of slicing the sofa. israel says it has expanded. it's offensive into southern garza in order to eliminate hamas, which is classified as a terrorist group by many countries. speaching on tuesday night has rails prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country's forces have so far killed around hoff over the hum off. come on those in the gaza strip. minimal excuse me now of

fights is are expanding the ground operation against time us and every place industry, including the south. i know some tonight we operate today with a massive for some of our that'd be fun. you want the circuit, hon. eunice about that, but you body of the sure thing to bother you. we besieged both of them, put on the game and there was no place beyond all reach. we took control of the general's acute took him out of her mouth. let me mom extinction. our brave soldiers are fighting powerfully against the kid is not in trouble. they are conducting close quarters, battlements, assume they are eliminating terrace around the clock when we have the up behind and every battle done while, you know. meanwhile, the world health organization says the security situation and goals that is guessing was by the hour as it's ready, troops, storm, con eunice and pursuits of hamas. there is little hope for the hundreds of thousands of palestinian civilians course up in the cross by 10 cities. and now

we'll come inside and come eunice. many palestinians set up a camp in the city of to flee and gets really strikes and not on golf zone. but being here hasn't been safe either. and it's getting worse. it's even difficult for people to speak safely, to report on the populum, the, the, and the dead of finding out outside the moves. the oh good. all the out of one is looking on and cannot stop them. not said, what have they done? why are they being killed? what crime did they commit to die? the step to the market? it's really military has released footage that it saves shows it's fighters pushing deeper into southern goals of the 100 off shoot me,

i mean 60 days since the beginning of the law offices of surrounding con eunice in southern casa, we are operating with professionalism clearing the population ahead of time from the combat areas is the lack of what godson's have been told to full the south to russell what awaits them. there is molten cities and the lone q to get drinking water. and i'm not going to get the thing about the only d sunday nation plant. and rafa that is providing inhabitants with clean water. it's powered by solar energy and we're in winter. so if that stops and we will not be able to provide people with any will to and i think that enough and then that's a list of my the united nations. so use more than 80 percent of golf. those population have been driven from the homes and space on the small coastal strip is running out. many simply don't know where they can find refuge. marina moran is

a military analyst and research fellow at kings college london aisles to earlier. if we're now seeing a new phase of be, is really military operation. yes, it is a new phase after the cease fire or after or is it set? does the end of see this? he's fire is a military operation, has to be recalibrated then. now, it seems like the noise and parts of the city is under control and clear. it's so this new phase, even more destructive than the previous one is about one of the strongholds of mosse, according to the east ro side, which is con eunice. and so the operation here is very similar to what you've seen, wasn't guys a city a namely this, the troops are trying to surround and control the area control access to the city. is, is say that this is even more disruptive then the 1st phase. we know is riley force is all now in the house of hon. units can you give us a sense of what facing in,

in such a dense an area would be, would be like not to mention the number of civilians who reflect that from the knolls. as it is an absolute nightmare for any military to fight in urban fight. against a force that doesn't wear any insignia. so essentially you don't know who the enemy is and you have a lot of civilians. as you correctly stated, they are so the risk of collateral damage or shooting the wrong person is very high . and israel try to get the civilian side, but the problem is, of course, where it is a go. and so they have now to operate the monkeys civilians going literally house by house trying to clear it because her mazda also enjoys very expensive tunnel network, which is believed to be beneath, on eunice. and so this is a very important stronghold for home off,

and this will be very difficult because home us will be using the tunnels and is able to surprise the through the military at any point. therefore, the each rally military is trying to eliminate as many tools as possible, but it's not a very precise science in the sense that they are trying to bump the tunnels. on the one hand, on the other hand, they are filling them with liquid explosives. so it's, it's a very cumbersome operation which carries a very big humanitarian risk. i mean, speaking of the tunnels, we've been hearing reports. the israel is considering flooding the how must tunnels and running on the gaza with see was, i mean, is this something that's like cnn? what do we know about the idea of strategy for the coming days going forward? i know there are indeed considerations to use sea water to floods of tunnels. now the us hasn't clearly positioned

itself towards this idea. it's still not clear what is this operation will be conducted or not. on the one hand, you have to humanitarian considerations and we have heard in the report how little drinking water is as low as teens have. and that's good for us or undermine water supply. if the idea for to use a strategy to flaw the titles and the as a problem is the luxury. because nobody knows the extent of the tunnels and water fact see water will have on them was a strategy will work. so you, the humanitarian risk is huge and you don't know if you will get a military advantage from using that. so i assume come with the engineers will be busy. i'm trying different technologies and how to best literally slot out some us and possibly the hostages. because they're also hostages, somewhere in those panels about 100 of them. so you are risking killing the

hostages, which was of course, and damage is ris reputation on the international stage. so it is quite a tricky operation. i don't know if they are going to go ahead was it will proceed further with liquid explosives and compartments during the thank so much for that analysis. that's maureen moran from kings college london. thank you so much. i. the militants are still holding more than half the hostages in secret locations across garza, the on substance. he's getting more family members. alpha live is nerve wracking for relatives in israel. folks for another ceasefire on going, giving a glimmer of hope. but the deal is fall from over the don't use ben. so sewland method 27 year old film student and tel aviv. sure. i have wrong. so who so much is at stake. it's really hard. killed or kidnapped? the unimaginable fates the field. 12 of she will have rooms relatives. it's been uh

hello nurse for our family. and since october 7th, obviously we believe that day, every day when i'm us classified a terrible organization by multiple countries attack these well including the keyboard sigbili. they killed her aunt to uncles, and one of the caregivers they didn't to 9 of her family members hostage. feeling abandoned by the use by the government. she will have her own turn to germany, where she also hold citizenship to raise awareness of her family's ordeal. and we expect germany to do it every can every child a think she also traveled to brussels, to ask the european parliament to help put pressure on his rail to reach the hostage deal. the fact that we are here is

a desperate act to ask for more help. age of she was family, the women and children were released during the pause in fighting deal of the late to november. that it was a miracle to see the people coming back from like hell, you know, almost it was amazing. it was exciting. it's was moving, it was unbelievable. it was so real because it was seeing them on screen, on television, with the rest of, you know, the people of these wrote and maybe the world, you know. so it was a moment of a private moment. this became very public. but to show how father of 2 of the release children is still in gaza. i think the message in our, our goal now is to keep going. and even though a lot of people are back, there are still a lot of people that haven't got back in my family. got the gift,

seeing some of my family back, but the family student there are still sitting and waiting and crying and shouting and fighting for their loved ones. what's it like being at the mercy of the world? you mentioned public opinion and having that, that pressure on the basically i comes from a very complicated the for political in me know, vision and, and we as a family we are and these to the hard part. we are people of fees. obviously it is an occupation this country and it needs to end, but no worries, not then. and so people are surprised when i'm saying they still believe in base and i wanted to because of what's happened to my family, but i think it's the only solution and that my family should be the last people that are dying and murdered over this, you know, crazy politico situation and so are the people in god and then to fight with the pain. you know, i see big families with so many names like

a raised and crossed and and it reminds me of my family because we have so many victims as well. it definitely released unless johnny was on his joins me here in the studio. i could see shawnee, we know that 138 hostages are still being held by hum us does the is really government have a plan to get them back. all if you ask is really official. it's clear to them the only true pressure on the, on the, from us. so i out military operation. they manage to get the previous do, and that's a plan for getting more hostages out. they feel that they need to push strong in gaza, mostly now and using south of calls where the leaders of how most of the families are from. we're not sure they're still in, in the gaza strip themselves, but they're from originally. so the symbol behind that is for them problem, that's what a so when would be the only way to get, you know, a better deal or

a new deal to, to get to hostages out if, if at all, you know, we will see serious talks resume. but isabel feels that military operation is the only way forward, and this military operation is obviously continuing now. now in the southern gaza strip. is there a sense amongst is riley's that this strategy is pushing the lives of the hostages in danger and even more danger? just as the scrolling concern for the so the wellbeing of those hostages we, we hear now after the release of, of over a 100 over several 100 dozens. and we hear horrible stories. the conditions that were held in the danger that the, that they were exposed to due to israel operation in the gaza strip. many of them tell about hearing the bombs being exposed to its 1st of all, they had to move constantly on the run, trying to save their lives from the bombings but also damages that are occurring. you know, when you're sitting in a, in a tunnel and have an a that building above you as collapsing on your head,

of course, that also might have an effect on, on those hostages. so there is a growing concern of how the is really operation is affecting the hostages held in gaza, very much. yes. and, and the family members of the hostages, the say in, but the, you know, the military is absolutely prioritizing slicing of, of bringing the hostages home. so correct. whatever the government say is, as far as trying to, to, to the, if you hear officials is very the politicians, they say constantly, they have 2 goals. they want to eradicate him off and golf out and, and they all want also to bring back all the hostages. what we're seeing that the families are saying, especially now after we hear more and more testimony is that people who were in gaza held hostages. they're saying these 2 do not work hand in hand either bring back the hostages right now because these people have very limited time. the conditions are very dire. and then we take care of hamas later. there's a lot of angry. we've seen the meeting yesterday of the 10 you out with the families over 2 hours we set together. we've, we've heard the lash at the politicians with a lot of frustration and madness,

basically saying you've had years and years to take care of her mouth. now you need to take care of our loved ones and bring them home. if you hear it and it's, and you always speak of the other ministers in the war cabinet, they keep trying to convince the families these 2 things do go hand in hand, finding hamas and bringing the hostages goes hand in hand. but we slowly see a rift going, you know, growing in among israeli population between those we feel like we need to find from us no matter what. and those say we need to bring back the hostages. and then, you know, still a bit with the fighting because that's the top priority. you mentioned the intense anger that is being directed towards the israeli prime minister and from the families of the hostages mounting political pressure as well. how can you assess his position right now? well, it will be enough. he's, he's his, he is a very, you know, israel was, it is on the brink of, of, of internal civil war as does happen. and letting out himself is still dealing with,

you know, he's, his trial is going to be to do because he's on trial for, you know, the bravery and so on. so he is in a still has a very precarious political position and he's hoping to galvanize a as a succession board to get stronger support. but then at the same times as we're talking about this risk, we also seeing very clear the divisions windows were supporting us and you know, and the cause of fighting come us above all. and then more or less the can also not connected to the hostages, saying, let's wait for that. let's bring hostages 1st. listening i was going to have to going to have to pay political price no matter what he decides. here. shawnee resent us on middle east on the list. thanks so much the company. okay, we're going to take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world today and peruse ex president alberto for jury is due to leave prison on wednesday. that's off to the countries constitutional court ordered his release from a 25 year sentence to human rights violations supports his celebration of the head

of his release. but the ruling has caused dismay. among victims of abuse is committed during his time of office in the 19 ninety's and hollywood actors has voted to, to back a new deal with film and tv studios. but looks set to bring a loan running and costly dispute to an end to act as have been on strike for months of the disagreements about compensation levels and the use of also official intelligence. now industrialized countries have pledged around $12000000000.00 us dollars to help the world's most vulnerable nations cope with the impacts of climate change and agreements on the new lawson damage funds. on the 1st day of the call, the 20 a climate conference was met with a standing ovation. the money will help pay for damage caused by slow onset disasters. like rising sea levels and extreme weather events such as heavy rain

flooding, droughts and wild fires. many say the money pledged is simply not enough and practiced on, for example, families are still struggling off. the deadly floods made west by climate change swept through. send province in mid 2022 or do i need to do to get any answer about these on what this from me, it's most space. it's not a very tight and not really need to shift. but it school is big enough for 20 to a year. that was my list. and this month house with her husband, her 2 children and several other relatives. she was 8 months pregnant when they had to run for their life last year. feeling the flooding that hit their village, the waters left her home in the southern sense, robbins, inundated for months, their life stock. a source of food and income on baptist. even though they are back

in their home. and they're trying to make ends meet. the family hasn't fully recovered panic and if we're getting, we're struggling to good food, even though. yeah, my husband can find work kind of with this. sometimes we can only afford to feed the children. we adults go to bed hungry. when we have the money, we buy some potatoes to feed the children. this period was one of the worst affected. the waters destroyed 4000000 acres. the fact we go to the land to, i've bought this done. large parts spins gone, be worked, that's left many farming communities without food and a sustainable source of income. local drops had stepped in and they're working with them in most in need. teaching them to farm selma has been trained to grow her own vegetables on

a small piece of land. she manages to grow enough to feed her children and also some extra produce to make some money of the floods. i'm all the time that i'm glad we survived the floods the we lost a lot of our lives, so 12 goats and 2 goes. we became poor. we couldn't buy enough vegetables to feed the whole family. my children were always getting sick. now i'm able to feed my children properly, but these blue putting dimensions are only a tiny fraction of what is needed. the buckets on the government sees it can not provide large scale. it has, it was in one of the worst economic prices in the country's history. when the floods hit the board, the worst under guards, and have been directly linked to climate change. even the pocket front, and it's less than one percent of cooper,

greenhouse gases. if people are suffering that direct consequences, that's why the implementation of the law and damage fund at the un climate conference for 20, it offers some hip put these communities to but until the funding is released, millions would have to survive on their own. and dw sign at correspondent louise osborne joins me here in the studio for more. hi louise. we just sold the massive impact. that's the flooding had on people in, in pakistan. what specifically is making it so difficult now to, to get life back to normal? i mean, these countries are incredibly vulnerable, so not only are they fundable to the impacts of climate change that they've done blissful to contribute to in terms of funding of fossil fuels. but they are also incredibly vulnerable when it comes to the infrastructure that they already have in place. these are developing countries that are still building often and so are not

able to cope with the kind of, you know, delegation of water that we store. for example, with that, but those flooding last extraordinary flooding was an extraordinary and i mean, thought flooding low cost around $40000000000.00 that was estimated by the pac study government. and so, you know, they just need help and money to be able to deal with those kinds of, of impacts that they're saying. mm hm. so, a huge need for help. let's talk about this lesson damage funds that's being struck a, this is comp 28 climate conference. how significant potentially is that to help people, for example, in this situation that we've just seen. i mean, it's really significant. island states have been bustling to have some kind of blow from damage funds for the last 30 years. they obviously want money to help with the rising sea levels that are impacting their coastal communities. and this fund was

set to or announce last year. and this year already um its been adopted the recommendations for it has been adopted. that was a huge step forward. and i think a big surprise for a lot of experts definitely for us as well. and. and that for be through. so that is a big step fords um, expos had stored, it would take years to settle, but it looks like it could be a lot sooner than that. okay, so, but, but let's put into perspective here, what it actually means for people affected by, by climate change, by extreme weather patterns made was by the changing climate. i mean, when will they actually see this money that's been pledged so far? so it's really hard to know, you know, they're still at the beginning, there is supposed to be a board that is set up that will assess the kinds of damages. but does last as our core thing that will then see that the money is made to or sent to the countries that need it. but the problem is, is that,

that money is still not even slightly enough. i mean, as we have before, it's about half a 1000000000 that has been pledged so far. less than damage is or estimated to, to cost around tougher trillion by 2030 every year in developing countries alone. so you know, if this is a drop in the bucket, in, in terms of what they're actually going to need. but you know, experts have said it's a good step forward. it's a show of goodwill, but there needs to be more done. suddenly dw clement correspond to louise osborne. thank you so much for that update. thank you. now, precious research team has cross paths with the wells biggest iceberg scientists from the pressure chantelle? it takes the they became 1st to see i'm film a $23.00 a which rises 400 meters above the surface of the sea. and they will also able to test the waters around it to most of the effects of climate change on the ocean. it

extends as far as the i can see. iceberg a $23.00 a is estimated to be more than 3 times the size of new york city is twice as big as greater london. after being fixed in position for some time to use. the iceberg broke free last month. scientists on board a research ship located near the tip of the antarctic peninsula. that one has on the investigating how nutrients stored in the ice released into the ocean when the ice melts. and what impact is, has in the ecosystem on bank, how interested us, how much of that it was the same as the a $23.00 a was drifting out of and arctic waters. scientists were able to collect samples of sea water around this mega iceberg to investigate how climate change is affecting the southern ocean. before it broke free, it remained an iceland in the weather and see in the antarctic. now,

it is scattered with the ocean gardens towards the southern dot the archipelago of south georgia and the south atlantic. though it is still not clear why this 4000 square kilometer mass of ice is on the move. and that is all we have time for eco, india is up next. i'm on your campus and they can an invalid. thank you for watching the

air pollution is a chill, especially in mega cities can be dead. we humans contamination at the end. so it's up to us to clean this. let's take a deep breath and find out how eco india
