[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the as a state of the news line from berlin, no ceasefire for garza, israel's prime minister says the military campaign against from us will continue to spike growing international pressure. the u. n. warrens, hundreds of thousands of guns are facing a public health disaster. also coming to the philippines,

threats to china's in bassett, or in manila, the philippine government malls, whether to expel beijing's envoy after more confrontations in the disputed waters of the south china sea. on a critical summit for ukraine's future annual leaders meet in brussels to decide on the opening of accession talks with ukraine and on further financial aid for key. but hunger as prime minister is threatening to block the plan the on the comm fairly welcome to the program. israel to prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected international calls for a cease fire and gaza, including a non binding resolution backed by the un general assembly on tuesday. in a meeting with is really soldiers, not in yahoo said that the military would continue. it's offensive against them off,

which is classified as a terrorist organization by the you, as well as the us and other nations. the government, if i say this, even given the great pain in the international pressure, so nothing will stop us. we will continue until the end until victory. nothing less than that. i think even though we do it because of the through you with gods help them with your help. thank you so much all but meanwhile, the united nations warns of public health disaster and gaza, according to the un palestinian refugee agency, almost half of gauze. this population has now moved to the city of rough lot in the south where they are facing bombardment deprivation and disease in a space that is becoming increasingly overcrowded. the winter's bearing down on rough off the city at the farthest edge of southern gaza bordering egypt. with the border closed,

it's the farthest people can flee. the destination for display scotlands hoping to escape bombardment. shelters are overcrowded. almost half of guys this population is now in rafa, which is the small part of guys in the southeast corner. again, this is leading to nothing but a health crisis. rainfall mixed and already dire situation worse. many makes you have tens can't hold up for long against the wind and rain water. yes, mean a displace posted in mother says she lacks access to basic necessities. and the my yeah, well my i woke up to my 7 month old child who was soaking wet. a house was destroyed and my other child was motto. i don't have any blankets or mattresses. i took some from my sister. we have one blanket between the 5 of us, no covers no mattresses,

no food, no water. life is difficult. with myself, say a box to monetary and release is fairly reaching ordinary people like yes mean, despite their proximity to the only crossing that allows a into the gallons a strip. israel's military which is also carrying out strikes on targets and rough uh, blames. hum us for the lack of access. unfortunately, it's not these really sides of the preventing it, but rather what we're seeing this morning, right is that some us are not opening the, the was thing aside. a rough or not facilitating excess of which i'm gonna terminate itself. somebody needs to ask ourselves again wise from us preventing humanitarian a fall. b u. n. general assembly has called for humanitarian sees fire. people in rafa are pessimistic out 27 models with the eyes. and no, it is real as well known for ignoring un an international resolutions when i it

considers itself above the law and with enough samples. because of that, i don't think it will accept any resolution, especially with winter, just setting in many fear, the hardship and danger that lie ahead. what else means case is not an isolated one. earlier i asked our correspondence, rebecca rivers, what life is like for others civilians and gaza to win the coal? it's obviously very hard for me to explain that standing here in jerusalem. but some of the people that we speak to on the ground from the 8 agencies that we talked to, you had so much of it there. in the report, the pictures we see coming out on the agencies coming out on social media. the situation has been deteriorating, as we know for weeks and he's becoming now has become unlivable. you could say we're talking about half of the the, the areas population now trying to take shelter in that bought a town rough. uh,

that's normally home to around 2 150000 people. it's a 1000000 people to send on that area. a groups saying that they've simply not able to distribute with light. they do have you heard there that, that if there's trouble with a coming across the border and of course, now all of this is being compounded by the winter rains. it's getting very cold here in israel. many people in europe may not realize that it gets as cold as it does here, and the, the, the, the area is not built for the cold. and of course, you know, people are not living in their homes anyway. so these rains, compounding the lives of a compounding the situation for people whose lives have been already operated, destroyed many people having been misplaced several times. you heard they are in that report. people not even having a blankets to the sort of shelter on the people's tents. you know, often most of them make shift, not made out of, of heavy materials. so a being ripped upon people in the cold view and warning of the spread of an infectious diseases is going to rise rapidly. so the situation as you can see and

hear from the images and testimonies in that report. absolutely. dia for the people in gaza. meanwhile, the is really ground offensive continues, where does it stand as israel any, closer to it state and go? or that's hard for me to say as well with what we all saying is continued bombardment, right across the strip aerial bombardment. that is, and we're seeing an intensification of those ground ground forces ground 5. so you happening. we know that these ready trips have pushed into that southern city of san eunice and it is pretty heavy fighting going on there. but also what may be surprising to some is that we say intensification of the financing in northern gauze as well. now that's an area that these are in the military said that they had almost completed their mission in a but since the resumption of hostilities off to the temporary seas 5, we've seen that the finding there is intensified. in fact, there's really middle trees saying, announcing the death of 10 of its soldiers, even some quite high ranking personnel with that were killed in an ambush. they say

yes, today is they were trying to rescue some of the soldiers in the north of kansas city . so in the northern part of the gaza strip, so fighting still very heavy, they as you heard from benjamin netanyahu, that they are going to continue until they will. and they warms of illuminating how much has been completed. so we can expect the findings to continue at the pace. it has been for some weeks yet. you mentioned that there is really 5 minutes of rejects, international calls for a humanitarian seems far. how did people in israel feel about that? or will the government and, and benjamin netanyahu have been rejecting those calls to some time. now we saw that they, you, in general assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of a safe spot. that of course, is not going to be to be listened to by, by israel a and you know, we, we were seeing, but actually that they have no overall popular support for the war there with continued polling of

a week. so suggested that is riley's and they may say that that seems that they're saying all know that they're actually seeing that many things always meant that the pictures a lot of the pictures are not being displayed in his writing media or i'll just of what's happening in gauze and but, but you know, that, that they all saying that despite the terrible, so that in that death, tolls that the, they, they are in support of the military aims, which is of course to eliminate how must i say that what happened on october 7th, simply can't be allowed to happen again, and there is relatively widespread support continuing foldable. so benjamin netanyahu perhaps feeling that he can rely on that domestic support, even though he stays international support. dwindling and dwindling fast correspondence. rebecca rivers. chris speaking to you, thank you. here's a look at some of the other headlines we're following for you today. republicans in the us house of representatives have voted to formally authorize their month long impeachment inquiry into a democratic presidential binding. the move gives republicans more empowers to investigate the president whom they accused of profiting from his son's business

dealings so far, the inquiry has failed to turn up any evidence of wrong doing car company it has legs were calling nearly all of its vehicle sold in the united states because of fonts detected in the, in the auto pilot system. this follows a 2 year investigation into crashes that happened when the driver system software was in use. more than 2000000 cars are affected. of the defense of prime minister for me because she has announced major changes to his cabinet as his ruling party faces an extensive corruption scandal. he's replacing for ministers whore, being investigated over failing to declare millions of dollars and fundraising revenue. it's the 3rd cabinet shake up in the last 16 months, 44 to $40.00 to the philippines. now we're growing tensions with beijing coasting china's ambassador to the country expelled as follows,

a new stand between vessels in the disputed waters of the south china sea, prompting the philippine foreign minister to say that manila should seriously consider declaring china's envoy as quote, persona non grata the, the, we use east asia corresponding james trader has more now on this latest incident and its implications for the region. in the heart of the south china sea. philippine vessel was this weekend, under fire from chinese coast, called fulton county. and to a near collision between a chinese coast guard ship and the philippine resupply vessel. the chief of staff of the philippine armed forces was on bold, longstanding maritime tensions between badging and manila, have ratcheted up in recent weeks with vessels from both sides, squaring off in the disputed voices, through which some 3 trillion us dollars of trade policies each year. this is why the frictions playing out the scar show and 2nd,

thomas show tiny tools in the south china sea claimed by both manila and beijing as they full within the philippines, exclusively economics. so in yellow here, but also we've in china, so called 9 dash line. the area the china claims is it. so that's despite the 2016 rolling that badges claims had no legal basis. often the latest confrontation, the philippines, that china is actions in the south china sea. which manila cools the west philippine sea where a serious escalation continued to call on china to be a responsible member of the international community and abide by its commitments, deceased from undertaking actions to violate philippine sovereignty, silver and rights and jurisdiction in the best flippancy badging immediately rebecca seated the accusation saying the philippines was infringing on china suffering to go from china, urges the philippines to states it's violations and publications to stop its unwarranted attacks and to refrain from acts that undermine piece and the so trying

to see things from aging. such acts include meaningless strengthening, military ties with the us, hey, conducting joint patrols last month. the philippine president fed 9 marcus junior on the right to has been more sensitive than his previous tests. the in confronting china is maritime claims, leading sums of fate of the south china sea. a note in the taiwan straits compose the greatest threat to stability a nation. in recent news, concerns about regional conflicts have lot to be centered on china is claims to here. taiwan, but with the united states treat the bound to protect the philippines. there are concerns, any escalation between miller engaging could be what actually draws washington's hands and knots. china is increasingly aggressive maneuvers around taiwan. what we're seeing is that the in the pacific region is increasingly becoming a theater for a super powers to,

to play their games with one another. and this is unfortunate for small countries or weaker countries will have legitimate national security interests to protect and defend the south. tennessee is yes, another flushed points in the region boxed by j, a political friction. the latest confrontation between the philippines and china. a stock reminder of the delicate balancing act, old policies and the region must be the full european union. leaders are heading into a high stakes summit for ukraine later today. they need to decide unanimously whether to open next session talks with ukraine and on further financial aid for key worth up to 50000000000 bureaus. but one issue a country hungry is blocking both attempts. this is way european union leaders faced a tangle of conflicting interests of age to ukraine. they know hungry wants to veto a plan to deliver a 50000000000 your a 4 year aid package and unit limits. the rules mean that it could,

this week in washington, ukrainian, president below them is the landscape already appealed to the americans itself, all the time in showing. it's an all the morality, the most problem, the biggest problem and when you're doing supports you create a job that's people on the front line families which are waiting for their heroes at home that they think that the united states, not the support degree and that ukraine is alone, but he failed to persuade them to give his country additional funding. president joe biden wants to give you credit in the money, but his blogs buy republican parliamentarians to landscapes hopes no rest would be you. but here hungry is prime minister vick to old on is the barrier. he has a pro russian stones and doesn't believe ukraine, whom when the war opened. also he says he'll prevent the view,

opening the process for ukraine to join. the don't feel well for them. i have proposed and i am proposing that negotiations on your dreams membership to you repeat, union shipping, you know, they can make it, we can't even get at the start because i'm getting put, you know, 62 at the new simulate. so let's don't put it on the agenda. i'm a student who cannot be done today, but on the agenda it hits the question is, was old bands price? sorry, d u has frozen around 30000000000. your is of funds due for hungry? is it concerns about opens attacks on the judiciary and repression of n g o. d u is ready to send around the 3rd 10000000000 years old. i may not drop his veto and ukraine unless he gets on without. somebody usually does believe they'll have a shots that's convincing him ones that rule in the same room. and i think it's often better to talk face to face then to talk in the press to open another sense

of failure to secure an agreement on the funding. this you summit would mean financial uncertainty for ukraine through 2024. and for more on all of this, i'm drawing now by the w corresponding rosie birch heard it saying, joins us from brussels. we're all of this is happening today, rosie a tough time there to bring hungry on board in terms of sending more money to ukraine. why? well, the optics of these are quite something because just as leaders began descending on brussels, the european commission indeed said it was on freezing some of those blocked funds for hungry. and that certainly prompted accusations at least. but that was basically a break to try and get victor oregon on board that it was quite simply a quid pro quote there. now i have to say that you officials deny that entirely. they say that in fact hungry has done some traditional reforms. and therefore, this was just the next step, procedurally that now having happened the money now in question. this summit in

this building is about 50000000000 euros. so crucial for and ukraine. new leaders are trying to get an agreement on that 26 of them are happy to greenlighted. they're too hungry is blocking. and they think the other leaders say that getting this funding for ukraine will not only send a strong signal the key, but the use bias site, but send a signal to most go to the use there to support you credit for the long time. the long term and send the signal to washington where of course, american lawmakers are also in their own dispute over funding for you crate. and no important thing to note is that for this to 50000000000 years and funding there is at least an unofficial plan be under which the $26.00 other members of the european union could simply come together and green light and send those funds to ukraine. but diplomats here know that at least the optics of doing it that way as a divided union would be far from ideal. there is one more important topic there on the agenda of the start of you membership talks with keith. and again, hungry is an opposition calling this an unprepared and untimely plan. what does

victor oregon mean by that? boy think there is no disputing the fact that ukraine joining the european union no would indeed be a big upset for the union as it currently stands. for example, it completely changed the way that you were opinion distributes funding for farmers just for example, you claims a very large country, but the rest of the leaders think, but nonetheless, it's a political moment to send a signal to ukraine. and then in the meantime, you could work on his own, the forms we write to its own rule, but in order to be able to absorb ukrainians a longer term. we know this is really important, not just for lawmakers and key is not just for officials but also for people and you created for soldiers on the front line. and that's what present is once we oh, oh awesome. says that this is a big move to make sure that idea of that dream of one thing, having a permanent seat at this table here in brussels know or about a still blocking not as far as we know unplugged for must have told me is that it really be all comes out to what happens in the room here in brussels and buckle up

for a bumper summit because it could be that we're really here for days reporting on this because what's important. so here i mentioned that plan b for the funding. well, there is no pond v for membership talks because that simply has to be done. you didn't unanimously so all you members would have to green light that decision to open, accession talks with you create and we simply don't know where this is going to land get and diplomats that i spoke to heading into these talk to it. they simply don't know what or funds in the game is here. pumping the road ahead, that's for sure. a great to have you there. helping us make sense of it all. that was the, the way of corresponding rosie furniture. thank you so much. now design from ukraine, representatives from 6 western balkan nations of also held talks with the leaders about potentially becoming members of the european union. but you have repeatedly said that it aims to bring albany of bosnia and herzegovina, kosovo, montenegro, north, macedonia,

and serbia closer. the accession won't require reform efforts in those countries. georgia is another country helping to become or to the you. but as our corresponding, your river shadow now explains this path to e u membership will not be easy. to see things one of jonah, just best to know the song she herself is one of the country's best known faces for decades. photograph, i'm not the guy eats a document of 2 countries to fight for independence from the soviet union on the day that i took these pictures to show people that people are not alone. and that's what we were fighting for was not in vain. this could be for aiming for a year to pay and future for us government progress, independence, and humanity, european values. when it's a problem it's of you shall have to buy most the geology on according to recent surveys,

almost 90 percent of people here want to georgia to join the european union. so he's not, and i don't know anyone who's against georgia be coming in. he's human, but it's vital, only profit, stupid 0, excuse me, outside of the savvy on road across it is we don't have any alternative but to europe for you. otherwise we would be forced to live on the rushes from the city. so, but the numbers question to share with, if that does it come in, government is seen as pro russian, the opening of direct flights more and more dependence of trade in rise in russian investment in all of this indicators. russia is no number one george's partner. in fact, what the georgia government should have done invested much of its effort of opening up our relations with you. is that the co, russian spence extends to the ukraine. georgia doesn't support the west and sanctions against moscow. the government says it's acting in the interest of the

country. security was that is going on, but you samuel mean, we have 4 to 3. was in 30 years, a motion in this war. unfortunately. so, but hundreds of people have been in that area. i see every tens of thousands of refugees, no country out the at the mazda stopped, and we must not repeat mistakes you some of the future of this. we must not display short. this item is just that seemed ok though, but i'm not going to which many don't agree with that caution. suspense surveys phone to fate. 8 to 7 percent of intelligence believe that the russian savoy against cream is also an attack on georgia, is there is a very real gap between menu georgians to be sure to be accepted into the european family as soon as possible. and if the government's rational friendly policy, but as long as the russian savoy ins ukraine continues, drawing closer to europe is going to be difficult. it's of usually at the bye

active use to know as the top i eat. but the 85 year old says she remembers the joe just sylvia the past only 2 well and is convinced that the diligence future lies with the and see europe in the union as well. okay, so w on it well, okay. the and the soviet union and the vote was true. now we should strive for something different. okay. do so squared around and who's to trim? i don't need to. what's your up? it's not easy to, but if we wanted now, we should make sacrifices to something in the wise interest of okay. but it remains unclear whether the government will implement as either forms or expire to buy the seller, georgia throat to the use media to be longer to states after taking office. argentine as new president, heavier malay has implemented some major changes. he says are necessary to confront an economic emergency. among the measures is the,

the valuation of the country's currency, the pay. so by more than 50 percent, the move has left many people asking how they will be affected. argentina is facing a period of painful, sturdy subsidy cuts for public transport and energy. a freezing public construction job cuts and government industries in all governments spending slashed by $20000000000.00. the new economy minister says there's no money left me though. and as you know, no other state will not tend to any more new public projects and will cancel projects whose development has not yet begun. argentina's currency, the pay so will also be devalued by more than 50 percent against the dollar. the government says it's to put a lid on soaring prices, but many people are worried about it's a game that we're not going to do that. but it seems to me that the valuation was

expected to work is going to be adversely affected as we are entering a complicated situation. and i believe positive will rise and the situation will become much more difficult. but you know, by some support, i believe it's going to keep the people hired and as a whole affecting our entire economy. i think every day, the sex or what i work with, in fact the front of a lot of see the for the new government has already said things will get worse before they improve. inflation is already at 140 percent and rising, some 40 percent of our engine times live at or below the poverty line. you're watching data. well, you near his line from berlin before we go. here's a quick reminder of our top story today of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the air and ground defensive against him off in gaza will continue to spine international calls for a cease fire. according to the u. n,

the territory is now facing a public health disaster due to the collapse of its health system. and the spreads of busy and without your up to date, but to stay with us because coming up next question is ukraine losing the war against russia? tim sebastian will be discussing that with alexander cowboy. you started short

break. that's on complex the into the conflict with tim, sebastian, i guess from valley in is that it sounds like got police direct says the economy the rush, su raises sense for now, rushes. economy has stabilized and mr. pretend and dice is on war crimes charges is none. the less finding plenty of friends so well as new found confidence symptom

into a big a role with ukraine. i've even a fight with major conflict. so next on the board, this train is taking more than a trip their journey through 1700 kilometers of v. as in these history, 32 hour ride from noise in the north city in the south. on the re certification, expressed by train through vietnam in 45 minutes on d, w, the

one on 6 times degrees is bravo. that has defined life from 500 to 600 currently, more people than ever on the move worldwide in such a progress in life. you know, it's a very difficult journey. and one is verify. everything. audio stuff. find out about some on storage info, migrant, reliable news to migrate. the the slow crew come fix and ukraine will soon the head ends with 3rd year with the pressure on care to advance on the battlefield and re energize support in the west . a, my guess from berlin is alexander w, director of the con, the russia, your races center. the bad news is that, unfortunately,
