the, the, this is the, the we news live from berlin. hunger is prime minister says he can still stop ukraine from joining the e u after v doing a 50000000000 euro, a package for keeping to oregon themselves apart from other annual leaders on membership talks. will bring you the latest from brussels. also coming up the us is it wants israel's war and gaza to end as soon as possible. but after another u. s. official visit israel, a standing firm warning come last will not be defeated any time soon. and as israel

hans the leaders of come on in gaza police in berlin and across europe, arrest alleged members of the group on suspicion of planning attacks against jews the on the call. fairly sure welcome to the program congress. prime minister says he could still stop ukraine from joining the european union despite his fellow and your leaders agreeing to open talks with keith over its membership and the block they to all on says he tried for hours to prevent the move and left before the deciding vote describing us as a quote, bad decision. he did, however, use is vito to block a new 50000000000 euro, a package for ukraine saying the money could be better spent on other you priorities of more on this,

i'm now joined by the w. corresponding rosie verger and who's been following the summit very closely in brussels. rosie some bitter sweet moves for ukraine there. let's start with the bitter hungry blocking aid for ukraine and apparently linking it to its own financial issues with a you. can you tell us more a yeah, but you sweet indeed, because it's ukrainians woke up to what they would see. many of them is some good news this morning on the move to were joining the they would certainly be feeling safe for sleeping in their beds tonight. if there's 50000000000 euros and you you funding. i'd also be unlocked because that's crucial funding. you crating, would you be able to cut on for the next several years funding for things? what keeping the economy afloat, paying teacher salaries, making sure doctors can continue working. that is not somewhat inside, although we just say they will come back to it in january. and hopefully they'll be able to find a deal, victor or bon vetoed that decision on these talks. victoria, on the hungry department is there is a lawyer among european union states. he's skeptical overall of the use model of

sanctioning russia of supporting ukraine support a new credit for example, financially. but also militarily, i'm not support. he has been that's what he's been communicating. going off, are they saying he thinks indeed, for example, some of the other does this is taking here. we're not the right ones now while you leaders say they will come back this and they hope to get this money green lights early in the new year. the fact to is there were also hopes of getting that money approved here at this talk with not only send a positive message to ukraine, that the you will stand by its side in the long term, send that same message to russia and also send it over to washington in the us where we know that american lawmakers are having their own debate about future funding for you crate. and certainly you diplomats, i spoke to before these talks said that they thought it would have been positive to be able to show the us. but in fact, the european union is showing up for ukraine. me now off to the part that inquiry and celebrated because it wasn't all bad news. the green light for the membership talks was given by all e u countries, but not hungry. how did it happen?

that this decision was still made in ukraine's favor. how does this all work? yeah, we were really bracing for a big political showdown and here in brussels, we felt these talks might drive old for days. but actually it seemed that other, the leaders managed to convince the hungarian prime minister victoria vaughan, who had initially been threatening to book that decision on opening membership, talked with ukraine as well. now, what we heard is that there were discussions going on in the room to be heard from victoria by himself, claiming that he tried to book this for hours. what we've heard here in probably is but german chancellor, old schultz came up with the idea for our event to simply leave the room if he didn't want to be part of the decision. not meant that hungry up stains, therefore, the other you confuse, could you move forward with that a momentous decision really, and it's being described peers historic and i think you craniums, we certainly see it that way to move forward. i think what's important to note is that the home very pregnant is there, is suggesting, i think it is messaging that this was sort of forced upon hungry,

but other countries and 6, did he do it this way? well, the fact is that he had the 2 power which he could have exercised, which he chose not to. so that's also something important to bear in mind. if we go forward with what will however, be, despite this move being a ground tooth is moved to open these talks, this will likely be a long process ahead. the, the corresponding rosie for richard. always great speaking to you. thank you for letting me put and says he will push ahead with the war in ukraine saying there can be no peace until russia achieves its objectives there. the russian president was taking questions from the public and journalist at his end of year press conference in moscow. his remarks come amounts and concern in ukraine. the western military a could be in danger of drying them 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 you, craig, from the now the crammed in is hoping to again project an image of power with the 3rd that go to them. 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 and let's see the notification of ukraine. it's demilitarization. it's neutral status and i'm stuck with them. so vladimir putin used 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 took 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. i can just deal 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 rising prices in the falling value of the ruble. sanctions have failed to stop the kremlin from financing. it's more if it's the 1st question is to this margin of safety, i'm going to is provided by several components. and may i ask you to the 1st beautiful and most important is the high consolidation of russian society a couple weeks. the 2nd is the stability of the countries of the economic system. so it can, i mean, just the system was telling me 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 under control, 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. so we need to, and a quick look at some of the other headlines making news around the world today. a court in moscow has extend that the detention of wall street journal reporter, evan gosh, coverage until the end of january. russian authorities accused him of espionage which he and the newspaper denied. russian president vladimir putin, sudden loss, gal, and washington. we are in a dialogue over the journalist. kanyes military says it is working to evacuate people from several regions hit by flash flooding. authorities say they have also been trying to provide aid to the effective community. a 170 people have died and around 600000 people have been displaced since torrential rains began in november.

at least 11 of rain and police officers had been killed in a shoot out with gunman and southern and the southern province of system. but loops has done the jihad, a separatist group, joyce, a dual claim. the attack on the police headquarters in the town of bruce in the palestinian health industry says, is really forces killed at least 12 people in going to $34.00 others in a 3 day rate on the city of jeanine and the occupied westbank. israel says in capture dozens of militants and the operation which is described as part of counter terrorism efforts. again, thomas in the west bank. these rarely army also said it would discipline as soldiers accuse of desecrating a most engineering let's get more on those from our jerusalem correspondence. rebecca renders, rebecca. what more can you tell us about the janine rates or well,

this latest right, nicole was, as i say, the latest in a string of rays that have been carried out on jeanine camp since october 7 since the event since the terror attack and the ensuing rule this particular raid was the biggest that we've seen so far since october 7. it was 60 hours or slightly longer in its entirety, and we, so in bulldoze is we so of it with an ice drones being used. we saw a tanks inside the camp and we saw in more than a 1000 soldiers inside going from house to house conducting. and you know, and looking for weapons, looking for links to terrorist organizations and carrying out gun fights with, with a gunman. inside the cab, we know that 12 people were killed in the operation, including some miners and these really military signing at least 10 of those with, with what have what they refer to as terrorist. uh, but uh,

we have no more details exactly on that. um, now these event, these events, these rights, they take place regularly as i said, took me regularly since october the 7th, but even before october, the 7th, they were being conducted relatively regularly. we. we reported on a very big one. i was there myself, reporting on a very big one in the some a, what you see in the optim off of these raids is near total destruction of the streets in the main areas. you go into people's houses. they've been completely destroyed as, as soldiers going through, looking for weapons, looking for other links to terrorism. and they often go house to house through the walls of these people's houses. so nothing down was in between people, you know, pretty traumatized. although as many people will, they will tell you they, they are relatively used to these and that they, they are very still want to, in their there's been that committed, as they say, a finding back from the military when they enter the cap. israel saying that they

will continue to carry out these raids as long as they feel that there is a threat, and they do say to name as a hot bed of terrorism, as they call it. what's the latest you're hearing from casa, as well? the finding in gaza is continuing. we're obviously not able to access gals or as international media. we can't see what's happening there from outside for ourselves . but from all accounts, from the people on the ground, from eye witnesses. and from what we're hearing from the military, the fighting continues, it's intensifying. you could say this is, well, it's bang cold is one of the very intensive phases of the war. that is ro, is trying to carry out its military aims of eliminating from us with a continued and strong aerial bombardment. and we're also saying fine to in both the southern area of this trip and the northern area and intensify fighting in that no worries. northern area of district which may come as a surprise, israel for some days or something earlier off to the the,

the temporary cease fire and the resumption of fighting. we heard from israel saying that it is almost completed its mission in the northern part of this trip. but we have been seeing intensified fighting there as well. is there in the military this morning saying that they recovered a civilian body from one of the hostages. a young man that was taken from the supernova festival, who his body was recovered by a special forces and then a few hours later we heard the 2 sold to the bodies of 2 soldiers were also recovered. and that from intelligence that they gathering now where hearing that they believed around about 20 of the hostages has been killed. we know that there now is a big focus on the tunnels and, and they're, they're operating, trying to get not only the hostages that haven't survived thought the, the more than 100 hostages that are still believe to be alive. use actual security advisor jack sold and met with is really officials to discuss the ongoing situation in gaza. that's listen into what he had to say. at the end of the day,

what we have consistently said is that is real, has the intent to make sure that it is drawing those distinctions clearly and in a sustainable way. and we want to see the results match up to the that that's a conversation that i had in full with them today and yesterday as well. and we'll continue to do that, including on the type of munitions they use. and when they use a certain type of munitions, how those are delivered to ensure that from the united states as perspective, they are fulfilling their obligations, their responsibilities as a state to international humanitarian law. distinguishing between innocent palestinian people on the one hand and mos on the other hand, is not just a moral question though it is a moral question because it is in people's lives should be sacred and protected. it's also a strategic question for israel, and i think my is really counterparts then just acknowledge that they, they very much indicated that their goal is to try to distinguish

between innocent palestinians and from us as we go forward. rebecca, what do you make of that? well i think it's been, it's consistent, the worth of j. sullivan, a consistent with what we've been hearing coming from the bottom, the administration in terms of the relationship between israel and the us. jag sullivan here to discuss the timing of the ongoing war and trying to urge israel of the not making any demands. but urging is around to move into the next phase to move away from this high intensity phase of the war into a more targeted phase of the war with well, hopefully we, they could say less civilian casualties. but he maintained the strong relationship between the 2 allies and said that israel has the right to carry out its aims of, of defeating homos. while it also, it has a responsibility to main to, to make, trying to make sure that the fuel civilian. that's the better, you know,

we've corresponded rebecca rivers thanks. violence in the west bank also on the rise. many there are concerned about their children's safety and what their future holds. the w senior correspondent of funding for sorry reports from a village near from iowa. about how parents are preparing the kids from life under occupation. soccer in this village and the occupied westbank is a healthy distraction. but how do i feel like i thought it gonna have developed? it's also a way to keep kids off the streets away from ease really, soldiers coming in and about what life a little definitely been a say on the phone with the situation is scary and now it's different than before. there seems to be no difference between adults. and children in the work we're up to 7 or 8 year old boys getting killed. and the kids of the rage, i care about all these kids here. as if they were mind the one on the how to such a is what i knew that. but i can tell you a village is affected by current events,

nearly hoff the adults usually work in each room. they permit square revoked after the attacks by her most classified as a tourist organization by multiple countries is ready for success control movement in the occupied westbank for decades with barriers permits and checkpoint options upfront. even further since october children here, i talked to embrace palistine in identity. when the camera is off, some adults tell us the only people who trust for the security are militant groups and i come us rims test or something. our wasn't part of any radical movement. but he's been in and out of jail since he was 15. and then what this video shows him wearing a red jacket being arrested that he's filming october 9th, just after he turned 20. stop to this is very difficult. every mother would want to hide her. it's dawn in her heart when they come to pick him up. i'm going to see

what i can tell them. no, we're not allowed to visit him. we had no communication for 60 days. i know nothing about c, not a bad fish on. she tried to equip all her children for the child who it's in the occupied west back. i mean, i tell them if you see military vehicle, if we just get out of there we go around the corner. what been especially now they're ready to shoot. but if they tell you to stop, stop, most of them, if you see a demonstration avoid certificate of having to do the room, says these rallies are holding her son without charging administrative detention. just like when they took him last year. he's one of more than 2000 police unions currently held in suspicion is really jails you and says, hundreds of children are in custody without being convicted of crimes. what i'm doing now picking out the stone can be dangerous thing to do here in the occupied westbank. but it seems often you still ins like this as weapons against these

really soldiers on patrol and is often kids and teenagers will throw them, is really soldiers, sometimes arrest young people for simply picking up stones. the warning garza is fueling growing angry in police teen in communities. room says she tried to teach her children to refrain from violence and stay away from militant groups like that. but that your rates, your kids until a certain age. but then you can't control them. you can advise them, but not force them into one direction or the other regarding a political organization. it's their choice. i did what i could as a mother, i told them i'm don't go to any political movement and keep away you don't want you to be in prison or become a martyr. and everything has been over that special. the faces of children killed in garza, han tremolo. the biggest city knew occupied westbank. it's only 70 kilometers from here, and part of the palestinian territories. little professor,

be hon all the time. are you writes about the social effects of violence against palestinians. let's think that the buffalo gaza is also palestine, and it's not far from young people here. how do you have they are used to violence and was there a key? but now that there's intensity, and this was certainly lead to more violence in different forms, back in the village, only a few children come out to play. we chat with the one father was here with his kids . because his permit to work in israel has been revolt, but he want to work on camera for fear of jeopardizing his chances of being able to work there again after the war. leaving under is really occupation requires those kind of strategies which adults here are trying to pass on to the next generation. as well as israel hans, for the leaders of from us and gaza. police and germany have a rest of the 3 suspected members of the group considered

a terrorist organization by the u. the u. s. and other countries, of course, they're due to face, of course, in cost for later prosecutor say the legs conspirators plan to bring weapons to berlin, to use and potential attacks against jewish institutions. and you're another person was arrested in rotterdam. several other terror suspects have also been detained at denmark. authorities are now investigating, if the suspect could be part of a larger terrorist network in europe. nobody is political correspond enhanced bonds, told me more about the suspects and how far their alleged plans had already progressed. but what was going on is that apparently, some time ago, possibly some years ago, some width funds have been buried somewhere in europe. we don't even know exactly where and the suspects that have not been arrested have tried several times to retrieve those weapons to bring them to berlin, so that, that could be used for possible attacks. apparently the authorities have been

following the school for some months already. this has been going on since the well before the, the homeless attack on israel in early october. so it's not a, it's an operation that's been going on since since the summer in europe and the rest that have not been made when that presumably because against the background of the developments in israel and gaza. the risk of an attack is becoming more likely . and so these people were taking in off to having, being apparently followed for quite a while. it was time spent there that as well as president nicholas montero and his guy and these counterpart air fun. all you have agreed to de escalate pensions over a territorial dispute over the oil rich as a cable region. following a meeting and st. vincent and the grant of being the 2 leaders released the statement saying they will not use threats or force against each other. but the agreement doesn't result the long standing dispute over the border region as

a key bone makes up about 2 thirds of gayona's territory. the statement was read out by the prime minister of st. vincent and the granite deans, ralph gonzales, diana, and then as related, declared as follows. one. so i agreed that the guy in, in venezuela, directly or in directly, will not threaten or use force against one another in any circumstances. including those consecrated drugs during the existing controversies between the 2 states. to agree that any controversies between the 2 states will be resolved in accordance with international law, including the geneva agreement, dated february 217-1966. so the uncertainty over the dispute is a concern for people in guy all his capital. george town, as our correspondent nicole reese, has been finding out getting ready for another busy day at the market in go you on this capital, georgetown, droughty alfred self approved from mr. keeble the results which part of the you all

know that venezuela claimed ownership of earlier this month? i scared because that is my living as the cable is relieving because with all this the cable, we cannot make it. it is a warrant that many years. yeah. and that's some say, it's already impacting their business from the time i know myself is give it on us. we just want to do things typically cause it's fun because basically if you see the christmas mode, it is very slow. it is nothing more. we know we haven't got you on a venue. savannah has long laid claim to s a cable, refusing to accept the border drawn by an international tribunal of arbitration in 1899. in 2015, the decades old dispute flared up again after major oil deposits were discovered off the coast of a cable. venezuela's most recent claims,

yet another provocation. many civilian presidents and you called us my doodle is not wasting any time. last week you ordered the states oil companies to issue oil extraction licenses and attempt to distract from my daughter's own troubles at home. says guy on us foreign minister. this is a little hired for preventive, so if you go back several decades the entire this is ellen nation as a nation, steve, they support their quest for the cable. what is the opposition parties that teach it is from cradle to grave. so it's something that the rally are on. this is a riley and point for them, and it's really about bring ever bringing everyone closer to the flat. we want to continue with good neighborhood relations. and instability between 2 countries can affect the stability of the entire region. so we're taking it very seriously. the

dispute is now before the international court of justice, which has ordered venezuela to reframe from taking any action in the regions i would expect, and of course the president's themselves may have other was uh that really would try to do the people of the region a favor and ensure that violence and wars in excess of what we currently experience of our spirit colt in the middle. the locals here in diana home. those calls for peace will be heard. you're watching the double, you know, here's a reminder of our top story today. hunger is prime minister, has blocked a 50000000000 euro, a package where you crane at a crunch summit in brussels. they to all on says he can also stop new friends, you exception to sign his fellow. and you leaders voting in his absence to open

tell the story of a powerful revolution. what exactly happened as a 10000 years ago? secrets of the shown age starts december 22nd on the w and the, the slow crew come fixing ukraine will soon head into its 3rd year with the pressure on care to advance on the battlefield and re energized support in the west . my guess from belin is alexander w, director of the con, the russia you raises center. the bad news is that, unfortunately, the support for your trade in the west or public is going down for now. russia's economy has stabilized and mr. pretend incisive on war crimes charges is none. the less finding plenty of friends to talk to i'm visits.
