this and she disappears without the phrase. the eclip type queen has been accused of folding victims on the top 10 list. the cartel leaders in murder is a financial 3 and a half the world's most wanted woman crypto queen stops december 30th on dw, the it was an invitation to try as president had been hoping for tonight, the european union agreed to that keeps stopped the long process of joining the block, a victory for ukraine snatched from the jaws of disappointment under his victor. old bob had been games to you. cry in succession and threaten to block and you consensus. so they don't do. well, he didn't show up for the verse. i'm feel galle invalid and this is the day the

city that everyone does the service to reach your moments and shows the credibility of the unit, the story of the union. with intermedia smooth, we open discussion for also coming up president fruits index you it's confidence axis ended, the press conference, brushing of west and sanctions, and promising rushes victory and new cry that go to them with this to do that will be peace when we achieve our goals, there needs to be some now let's get back to the goals what they don't change. the trim with the good i said, you know, the us, we began the day with an unexpected decision in brussels with far reaching consequences for keys tonight, for somebody to a you leaders agreed to open membership talks with you cried. official invitation. that launch is what is likely to be a very long road to a secure future in your the decision was arranged by 26 of the 27 nations with

a solitary hold us congress prime minister to all about and had threatened to block what had, what had to be a consensus vote instead he decided to make what was described as a constructive abstention. grading and presidents prolonged him is that i asked him to social media saying, this is a victory for ukraine, a victory for all of your of a victor that most advice inspires and strengthens. is a you counsel present, shall michelle, breaking the news to report. is this really bolt into where you want to support your community? so if it was for, for funding til the sooner you, so we, we both went to a decision and today, and tonight i think to the people from you free, we are on the side and piece the decision made by the members. this is a streaming in fulton for the tribute of their opinion we've, we've, we've had to break through perhaps so well, certainly quicker than any of us expected. so a decision has been taken now that the european union will begin accessing talks

with the wiki. craig, with although, but to join the european union, and that's a real boost, a real boost for people living in those countries to know that we hear in new york and union believes that their place has with us the message that is given the very clear message we are on the side of ukrainians who are fighting for freedom, the fighting for respect of, of their, of their country. and the message to moscow is also very care. one. we will not be intimidated to europe in unity is there, and we are on the side of the ukrainians. even the most difficult moments. like how responding jack power has been following all this in brussels on telling me mo, it's a really significant decision, but was equally as significant is how it was made. we've had a crazy few hours here at the european kinds of summit when the european kinds of president show me. so tweeted to say that accession tools, the process of negotiations would be opening with ukraine. and moldova thought, we'll new would mean the hungarian prime minister to old man who has been hanging

a veto over this for the last few days would have ended his veto. essentially what we find that since is the victim old on the hon. gary and prime minister was not in the room when that decision was made. i'm what our team dw your of here in brussels to find. i was the, the idea for him to leave the room, was actually in initiative by the german tons to the lock shelves. and i, what we know, since this has happened, is that it is possible to overcome unanimity by one anita leaving the room. and essentially what they call it is a constructive abstention. then not in the room, the other leaders can move forward. and that means that they can open the accession tools with ukraine. we heard from the belgium prime minister, alexander the cro. he came out and said it doesn't matter to the hungry, abstained in this way. what must his is the accession tools can be opened and that it shows the signal to ukraine. but the future is into your opinion. think to open

the how gary and prime minister has be releasing videos, saying that he is still fundamentally opposed. he thinks is a stupid decision for ukraine to be granted the opening of negotiations. it's important for our view is to know that as well, the opening maybe negotiations doesn't by any means make ukraine in e u. country that will be multiple years of those negotiations before ukraine would then join the european union the, there will be peace when we achieve our goals, the ones you just mention it. now let's return to these goals. what they have not changed. i'll remind you of what we talked about in and see the notification of ukraine. it's demilitarization, it's neutral status, and i'm stuck with a lot of effort to invest, saying that it will be no peace in ukraine until the russian is good and ready. the russian president was taking questions from the public. i'm from john list and he's and to the press conference in moscow. dispersion also said bush and kindly had

enough fights us and there was no need for another wave of the zation. russian presidency is running for re election in march. tons of last year's press conference. i've had rushes full scale invasion of ukraine. so let's take a closer look at what we saw and heard today. we've constantine that i got the deputies at russia on list. welcome back constantine. let's start with your assessment of the state of institutions leadership. but right now, as you paid any political price for the war and you create a country where there is no whole, it is very difficult to pay it, but it's go price. so, so far it looks as missed the boat and is in full control of the state bureaucracy, which in turn is in full control of the country. there is no visible opposition, there is no free media left in the country. and as soon as the person is free to spin tales on television in the front of the audience,

which is old except the foreign correspondents hold it to ask some questions and he's unopposed. he's in control of this kind of scripted semi politics. all right, so let's take a look at a couple of things that, that came up today on the will in ukraine. he was at quick to draw parallels with what's happening in gaza, which he's described as a failure of american foreign policy. just how might the bottom a post and hope to use the the, the, the war and gaza to bolster rushes international standing? well, she's already using it. she's a since the beginning, a full scale invasion last february was x ray to draw attention and to gather sympathy in the so called global self. he's a miss to talk to, you know, brazil in south africa and india in china, or all of them united states and their allies. and, and this just bear to us roll

a relatively successful and the war in dogs in which he will give a take. let's face it looks like you saw, did we come awesome. the palestinians rather than these really is i keep getting some points in the eyes of all the global cells where there is a very visible sort of vantage really feeling, whether it's still paid real. but let's consider them that's, that's a big question. i don't think that it gives push him to be global leverage and by the united states, preoccupied with gaza, as you try to the coast, perhaps that leaves the stage set for some new kids on the world. the block, just take a look a he's going to face get, and actually russian chinese relations are one of the essential guarantors of stability in the world. we see what is happening both around russia and around china. even we see attempts by the west to switch nato activities to asia, a 0. so how is the rush that china friendship without limits,

as described by i chinese present changing picks? how is that working on for russia, as well as the judge by put this press conference, then rush has become very much of julia pop to china. and if you look at this, they put us rhetoric and i feel i've been through this press conference is when it worked. and most of the many times, i mean, she called teaching ping a friend twice. that is something that's better unusual for poor. and to me, looks like good. well, i won't say sick of fussy, but trying to be nice without any big reason to do that. apart from the fact that china is actually russia's main main stay in the world of global economy. and it is actually the senior em, i know, in the total testing purposes because the result of the chinese goes to talk to the americas, you know, which poor puts and cannot. so yes, i think that this particular press conferences confirm that russia is becoming more

and more dependent on trying to improving by the way and consumer in what consumer good concerns. because you're a couple of weeks that what questions during this conference of all the per dollar, those of chinese car, the cars on the rush market and didn't have much to say about it. and uh frankly, it seems like every day this dependence increases. and let's finish on mr. focusing on relations with the west coast. it's and that, and we use that as for normalizing relations with the west. this does not only depend on us, we did not spoil our relation. they did, they were constantly trying to push us into the background and neglect our insurance. i mean to us and i coast values have to look into your crystal ball in just a moment because i'm thinking that it's not even 20 years since nato and russia. what a lot friendly i even establishing that, but the nato russia council back in the day to work on joint security issues. so

looking ahead, how do you say russia's relations with the west and say 10 years as well? i don't have a crystal ball that fail, but frankly, let me put it like that. as long as putting is in power. as long as he's under crumbling, there's going to be no change because for him and he made it very clear. this not just about to cry. it's about russia standing up for what you called it sovereignty against the west. it's another question whether this, but it's good consensus of this piece on quite in rush or the put in the manuals exist, will continue because of all in this video clip that you showed. all the background, we've seen text messages coming up in the russian. all screens, these are on selzer and one of them read, mr. punch. and when do your russia the russia of your television become a reality? this is not the rush or we'll see. so maybe there are tensions which ones will explode and we will not be ready for that. but so far he's in control and he's

ready for she is quote unquote, war against the west. ok, facts constant saying, i think up here in russia on the west coast and team, i guess thank israel is facing mounting international isolation over its minutes. you operate syncing garza and the number of civilian casualties. a brief now appears to be growing between prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and these governments most important back of the united states. earlier this week, i us present, joe biden gave one of his strongest warnings yet about israel's need to exercise restraint. the bible says israel secures he can rest on the united states. it has the european union, it has a euro, it has most of the world supporting that, that starting to lose that support by indiscriminate funding that takes place. so israel's prime minister, assessor's country, well

a serious war against him. ass until absolute victory, benjamin netanyahu, whose office published the statement after meeting with the white house national security advisor, jake sullivan. mr. sullivan traveled to intel. i believe to discuss a time table for ending the fighting. the wife, as i said, that he wants to boil between israel on her master and as soon as possible, israel's defense minister told mister sullivan that the conflict is likely to last for several months. meanwhile, the humanitarian situation of the people in gaza continues to worse and had a view and agency housing, palestinian refugees has just returned from his 3rd trip to the territory. i made reports of widespread hunger and desperate conditions in a frenzy and just saw as a trucks arrive in the gaza strip. people time been to grab bags of food before they can be properly distributed. the hunger here is fight spread and punishing

people stopping it. it trucks taking the food and eating it the right to wait. and this is how desperate the hungry tail. so supplies are running severely, no omar, but $1.00 and $2.00 to feed. as many people as he can. he used to work as a cook in a restaurant before the war began. almost half of gauze population has now moved to the southern city of the funds. and those who were already here have both to run out of stocks. other means to pay for them. i know the i came here to get help to feed my children. we also have displaced people living with us. we cannot afford to pay for gas, so electricity and there's nothing available. we cannot go to the market to buy food for our household or our children. i'm not a zillow. even if you had to 100 us dollars for example,

and want to go shopping. you will only get a handful of items. uh, so monday has become meaningless at the bottom of the on the health experts. so you, the little food that is available is being prepared and unsanitary conditions and a shortage of clean drinking water is posing serious danger to people's health. and i do have that patients come with cases of extreme dehydration, some of which then progress to kidney failure will weaken in kidney function to them. and as and the both that children are drinking most of it is on face for human consumption. positive doctors. i'm wondering that causes the close to a disastrous health crisis that may have a lost and impact no matter when the war and is really investigative

visiting, validate and have sub hamas medicine to use systematic rape agenda based of violence in the october 7th attack. all these rights activists who collected testimonies and digital evidence as well as his right at least a tunnel to germany, to raise awareness of the atrocities committed during the attack. i say, how must medicines were given specific instructions to re women is writing police spokeswoman a minute been may i speaking to dw of these people came with the correct and very clear instructions and to do who are fit atrocities in the same places in this, in the different places in the same way they got instructions. and as you can see, they came to bailey. they came to the fall as they came to the festival, the nova party. and they did the same things and all the different places they cut off a organs, they burned bodies, the kidnapped from all these different place,

spoke 1st and not your voice that is on these writing women's rights campaign. in the past of the civil commission of october 7th crimes by how most against women and children, at least were set up by is ready to international law and women's rights experts to draw attention to the crimes of raping sexual violence committed by hamas and not attack of welcome to dw missy. so much of what has happened since the 7th of october has been on single. but you believe that these, these gen, these gen, the base crimes with systematic and therefore deliberate. we have evidence that uh, especially as rarely police presented today evidence that these were well prepared . the tax and rafe was part of the m. o rate was planned and the terrorist themselves, the ones those are held. now in israel, i admit that rape was part of the time. i'm what evidence was produced. they,

they say that they came to soil people. and when they're asked about what does the sewing means, they say we needed to write them. that was part of the, of the deal and in order to achieve lot intimidation. um, lack of respect. often times women and children are seen as the future generations . so it's also to instill fear in your enemy and to show that they have no future, no has a that's the, the aim of this attack mind. amid all the heart of the events of that day. you believe it's important to to and a particular spotlight on gender based environments that we've committed. yes, indeed. we have seen women children, men are also sexually violated. the organs were removed, sexual organs were moved from both men and women and bullets were shot in the intimate parts so, so there was a very direct incentive to,

to put to duty is such a lot of violence during the attacks. so this evidence has been compiled by is riley police and a prosecution of ours is what, what do you want to happen next? well, we need international women's organization. so soon as you and women unique's us to recognize that it happened, one of the problems that we currently encounter is their silence. these international organizations that normally, as always, support women worldwide are suddenly complete. so the silence about the attacks. and if they're silent, what they're saying to the world is you can deny what happened on october 7th, and we're saying, no, you can't deny what happened. knocks us up, denial is not an option. october 7th happened, and a lot of people got raped, murdered soda mice. and if you're not acting, if you're not picking up,

you're supporting the other side. you're beginning, you believe that there's there's, there's that there's the silence from the, the you and i'm getting motivated by what, why would they buy the assignments on an issue like that? i wish i knew that's the truth is i'm, i'm a woman's rights activist for a few years now in israel, and i've been working with those, these organizations. and i know them their colleagues, their, their, their friends and the end it's, it's a surprise that i'm completely baffled by their lack of response to these who richard or if it can sense. and so why is it that the, i ask you what you want to happen next and your, your 1st response is that the, you and an international organizations need to recognize what happened or what about bringing these people that these properties us to justice. i think that's something we're the civil society. our aim is to make sure that there is awareness

that we collect the evidence for the story purposes as well. the job of the prosecution, the job of criminal bodies, it is to, to prosecute most people for us. it's more an understanding of what happened on october 7th and why this war started in the 1st place. and do you believe that there should be prosecutions? i think there should be, there must be prosecutions. to what extent and by who that's not for me to on. so yeah, because if it's get interesting to to, to watch on until 2 is riley. i spoke to people, i was, i was doing so i'm face weekend and last week i'm when you say to them, and i had one of the site, well, we want to find how much we want to destroy the organization. we want to find that latest and kill them. so there is not much room in there for bringing people to a cold tilt adjust. it says that i wouldn't know. again, i'm not a space person for the is rarely government. i'm a specs person for civil rights organizations in israel and

a such. all i can say is i want the truth to be told. i want to make sure that the truth is out there and like the european union, and like the german government who immediately stood by our side and said it's happened. i want you and women to do the same. i want, you know, stuff that their chief goal is every child everywhere the they can stand by silent mix to pictures that show burn bodies of babies. i don't understand. i, i, it's simply beyond what's ok. thank you so much for joining us. is maybe a women's rights campaign. you're welcome to thank you. so thank you very much. of the philippines by growing tensions with beijing could save the expulsion of china's ambassador to the country. it follows a new stand off in the dispute invoices of the south china sea, the w as east asia correspondent, james chase, a has more on this latest incident on this implications for the region or in the

house of south china sea philippine vessels this weekend. i'm the fire from chinese coast guard, want to come and to me, a collision between a chinese coast guard ship and the philippine resupply vessel. the chief of staff of the philippine armed forces was on both long standing 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, i told in the south china sea claimed by both manila and beijing as they full within the philippines, exclusively economics of, in yellow here. but also within china. so quote, 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, southern rights and jurisdiction in the best flippancy badging immediately. rebecca seated the accusation saying the philippines was infringing on china sovereignty. going from china urges the philippines to states it's violations and publications to stop its unwarranted attacks and to refrain from acts that undermine peace 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 in asia. in recent years, concerns about regional conflicts have lot to be centered on china is claims to hear 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 recruit countries will have legitimate national security interests to protect and defend to the south trying to seize yes, another flushed points in the region boxed by geo political friction. the latest

confrontation between the philippines in china, a stock reminder of the delicate balancing act, old policies in the region must be full. and that was the day you can follow as on our social media platforms at cdw news. and for the licensed headlines as always, the w dot com over at d w. the
