until the absolute big during the i'm feel gaol. welcome to the program. european union leaders of agreed to open a new membership. negotiations with ukraine announcement comes despite pharmacists from hungry to block, such a decision, crazy and present a lot of minutes to the landscape. describe the move as a victory for your crime that all of your leaders at the to day something brussels announced that they would also open. accession, tulsa has moved over drunk confident status to georgia. a correspondent jack patrick in brussels told me even though it's a really significant decision, but was equally, is significant, is how it was made. we've had a crazy few hours here at the european time. so some that when the european kinds of presence, michelle michelle suite it to say the big session tools,

the process of negotiations would be opening with ukraine. and moldova thought we knew would mean the hon. gary and prime minister beat to old button, who has been hanging a veto over this for the last few days would have ended his veto. essentially what we find i 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. i dw your up here in brussels of find i was. but 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 need 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 that means that they can open the session tools with ukraine. we had 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 matters is the accession tubes can be opened and that it shows the signal to ukraine. but that future is into your opinion. think to open the hungarian prime minister has be releasing videos, saying that he is still fundamentally opposed to things, is a stupid decision for ukraine to be granted at the opening of negotiations. it's important for all of us to know that as well the opening it and it goes, jason's doesn't by any means make you create an e u country that will be multiple years of those negotiations before ukraine would then join the european union. okay, so a long road as your site at the end of which hungry could still turn right in the side, you know, well, no, yeah, that mean essentially there are multiple chapters. the way that you accession works is there's 1235 chapters where a country has to open them, make the agreements with the you and then close them. and they need to get through the 5 the time it takes a long time. best part of

a decade is not more so there are multiple times at which hungry could continue to try and veto. but at this moment, while the repairs, the hungarians didn't activate that veto, which means that it can go full was the big question is i suppose phil white was sort of a, you is ukraine then trying to enter an e u y one country is diametrically opposed to a succession, it doesn't feel very comfortable. i've spoken to a number of the sources here at the european kinds with somebody since this is what will happen. i know of and say, this isn't how we like to do this. this isn't a comfortable way to put this forward, but it, but what they have achieved is what they said tied to, to open the negotiations with you credit. okay. and for ukraine was also on the table on what's happening that yeah, that's why we start the next set of negotiations, the ones to give 50000000000 euros in age. the ukraine. the how gardens are

threatened to veto that as well. and that's all of the money that the he you have frozen from giving to ukraine, which is around $30000000000.00. your raise goes to hungry to hungry, excuse me, not to ukraine. that is another funds we know that all about has gone back into the room under those negotiations are continuing to adjust power compressor cycle. so the 13 has said that he will pass on with the will in ukraine, saying that could be no peace until russia changed its objective. russian president was taking questions from the public. i'm from john. this is end of year press conference in moscow. is your mom's, came and made the mountain concerning you? crating the west and ministry aid could be in danger of drawing up for more than 20 years. these carefully staged event has been used to present an image of a strong and self confident leader. the last year, the milestone press conference was a council of to russian forces suffered major setbacks and ukraine still. now the

kremlin is hoping to again project an image of power. well, the 3rd the then we are 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 the notification of ukraine. it's demilitarization, it's neutral status, and i'm stuck with you. so vladimir putin use these same words to justify his invasion of ukraine nearly 2 years on his tongue. russians that these goals have not been the chief to ship. so the war has to continue. but he says there will be no maximum of delays ation for now. but to the flow of our menu who are ready to defend, the interests of their homeland with arms in hand is not decreasing sufficient. $1500.00 people daily throughout the country altogether,

there will be about $500000.00 people by the end of the year. so why do we need a new mobilization? there is no need for this right now. how can we stay with them? they cannot make calls stuff, which is more, is also in people's minds in russia. but even western experts meet that despite rise in crisis. and the following value of the ruble. sanctions have failed to stop the kremlin from financing. it's more the, if it's the 1st question is do this margin of safety i'm going to is provided by several components and we just get the 1st futile and most important is the high consolidation of russian society a couple weeks to the 2nd is the stability of the country's economic system, so it can, i mean, just the system was standing as it turned out. this was a surprise for our so called partners. and to be honest, for many of us, for more than 4 hours, the russian president reassured the russian public the if you have the situation

done to control and then you, regardless of whether he's statements match reality, his message was clear, the kremlin has enough resources to continue europe's bloodiest war in decades. and so what kinds of all had launch them around? well, quote in moscow has extended the detention of wall street journal john list. evan, gus convention till the end of january. rational thoughts has accused him of espionage which, here in the newspaper deny a russian president vladimir putin said moscow on washington. in a dialogue over the gymnast kind, as military says, it's working to reevaluate people from several regions hit by flash flooding across your site. i've also been trying to provide a to be effective communities, 170 people who died and around 600000 have been displaced is to ensure rights began in november 3 days, right. the rise in the city of jeanine and the 5 west bank has ended. palestine in

health ministry said he's ready for his killed at least 12 people embodied 34 others is a ministry described himself relations and janine as positive counter terrorism f. it's a guys time us in the west back. so i police in generally have arrested 3 and nights, members of hamas here in ben lives on suspicion of planning attacks against jews, dutch police, the rest of the 4th person in ross without having to prosecute this idea of the conspirators fun to bring weapons to violate into using potential attacks against jewish institutions in europe. i must cut it out, be october 7th attacks against israel, and this classified by the e. u and the united states as a terrorist organization. political correspondence, simon young, told me though a full man, arrested today 3 in berlin and one in the dark city of rotterdam. and they are accused of being members of her mass, which is of course,

a brand terrorist organization here. and there was excited to have close links with the mass military when the outcasts and brigades. now, while they're accused or specifically, is preparing attacks, possibly against jewish institutions, possibly europe wide. and one of the main 11, a citizen they said to have been busy since the spring of this year trying to locate a weapons cash somewhere in europe that was previously laid down by a mass. the other 3 men said to have joined that search in october of this year. and, you know, they were looking for these weapons with the intention of bringing them to berlin to hold them ready and prepare at these attacks. and i think it's worth noting at that if that information is correct, this would have pre dated the 7th of october attacks by how mass in

israel. it seems that you know, it was already the efforts that these men were, were undertaking. they're already ongoing at that point right now, how much of course not known for carrying out the tax outside israel and the palestinian territories. so is this a new strategy, or what it does look to be different from what we know about how may i assume that the previously. yeah. and they've regarded germany as heavy, right? not really as a target country and they've met and how much isn't known for carrying out a 10 expenses against western countries. unlike other reason miss graves like outside url, or i s at so previously a must have been in gem and a spreading propaganda and trying to collect donations. so if this information is correct, if they were planning to a to carry out the tax in germany or elsewhere in europe, i think that would mock a sort of new glove from the mass terrorist organization. thank the simon simon

young, dw, political correspondent, israel's prime minister, has that he's country will pursue its war against thomas until absolute victory benjamin netanyahu. his office publish the statement as he met with white house national security advisor, jake sullivan, in kind of a mr. sullivans and he is round to discuss a time table for ending the fighting. why fast and sadly bumps of war between each round on her master and as soon as possible, israel's defense minister told mister sullivan of the conflict is likely to last for several months. meanwhile, the humanitarian situation for people and cause it continues to was had to view an agency help him. palestinian refugees has just returned from his 3rd trip to the territory. and reports of widespread hung up in desperate conditions in a frenzy and rough uh as a trucks arrive and the gaza strip. people time been the grab bags of food before

they can be properly distributed. the hunger here is widespread and punishing people are stuffing it. it trucks taking the food and eating it the right to wait. and this is how desperate and hungry so yeah. so supplies are running severely, no old model, but wanted to, 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 philadelphia. and those who are already here have both to run out of stops. 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 a 100 us dollars for example, and want to go shopping, see, you only get a handful of items. uh, so monday has become meaningless at the bottom as they move on the health experts. so you, the little food that is available is being prepared and on the, on the tree conditions and a shortage of clean drinking water is posing serious danger to people's health. and i didn't have that set to patients come with cases of extreme dehydration, some of which then progress to kidney failure. well we can and kidney function to them. and as and the both the children are drinking. most of it is on fits 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 i'd set you up today coming up next on the w. a documentary, which takes us on a journey through vietnam on the re unification, expressed a good day, the fast fashion as an environmental 9, a clothing graveyard image of land desert. this is where things wealthy industrial nations no longer need and lightest textile waste gets stranded fashion watch now on youtube. the .
