of the the, this is the, the news live from palate. israel faces increasing. it's a national price of over its attacks on gauze, on the us defense secretary meets with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and all these right indeed is intel of east austin said to us support for as well as unshakable buttons. also, pushing is really need is to outline a future for gaza. often comes to israel faces an accusation of using starvation as a weapon in his morgan's thomas pub locked into supply. claim that is well denied.

and germany's military announcing it will be spacing. the troops outside its own boldest of $5000.00 foot display of soldiers oscillated, typically close to $280.00 and in 2027. as part of a deal that germany's defense, when that minister has described as his story, foster european union takes the long boss x platform to pause for not taking action against material the block describes as illegal content. the i'm gonna head off is welcome to the program. international calls for israel to scale back is the sold of gauze. are increasing that includes it's close as the us defense secretary load austin is currently in tel aviv with the as health separate tolts with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and different split. instead you'll

have colors, media reports, the head of the meeting said he was press israel's leaders for a more targeted approach. and it's offensive against, from us to avoid civilian casualties in gauze on how much is considered a terrorist organization by the you, the us in dollars. so you would be let's cross over to w's postpone and tanya exam . andrews and tanya, you follow that press conference. what else can you tell us? slow? that's right, that'd be just so us defense. secretary lloyd austin, holding a press conference with his counterpart, defense minister, your call and, and we were expecting, you know, that he again, he said that the relationship between the united states and israel is unshakable. this iron clad a commitment between the 2 countries, but he was also here basically from what we understand from the, from us officials,

you know, to, to get an assessment from his is really counterpart to see where is this more going? because you guys would like to see a more, you know, going from this very intensive fighting to a more, a targeted fighting and to get a timeline as well. from these varies and he said again, defend secretary, lloyd austin, that it is a basically a moral duty uh to protect the palestinian civilians in garza as well as a strategic imperative for as well to do so also to the is a need for more humanitarian age of getting into gaza a given the fact that uh, over the course of the war, according to the united nations there 1900000 people now being displaced in gaza. that you, many terran situation is very dia, and of the desk told as mounting. so we understand there's also pressure now from

is was closest ally to change tucked in in this war. and, and this is what we heard again from the defense secretary and austin. definitely not the only the international partner who, who demands a rethink that are you seeing any signs that is, or a might actually be looking at changing it strategy. it was a bit too early to tow. i mean we seen uh several uh us officials here also the national security advisor. uh jake sullivan. uh and uh, and is run re send a day. so the certainly the pressure is mounting wheels of hearing from germany uh, from other countries. uh that that needs to be a sustainable uh ceasefire in the uh, in, in the future in the near future. but it's unclear whether this has so far any impact uh on. uh, is there any strategy,

have you heard again from prime minister benjamin netanyahu? he said again over the weekend, uh that uh, you know, this uh that is or would continue its strategy of a mess as a offensive in garza, a maximum price or as he puts it and also to eliminate homos to reach a victory as he puts it but also to potentially re released some of hostages, but at the moment it's unclear, you know, where the, how much is responding actually to the last point. and so, of course, the situation in garza for the civilian population is extremely difficult. and this is why we're seeing more and more of sets calls that up use plenty of time with that reporting from jerusalem. thank you very much. tonya. the un security council is about to vote once again on

a cease fire resolution for gaza with a previous attempt to few weeks ago, vetoed by the us. and as israel continues its war against hamas and the territory, it's been accused of using starvation as a weapon in it's of oregon's thomas to human rights watch says it as evidence that is well as deliberately stopping civilians and blocking the deliveries of food watering fuel into gaza as well as responded by accusing the group of anti semitism of the i asked julia tomorrow the director of communications for the u. n. agency, full palestinian refugees. if her agency has seen anything that would confront those allegations. why and we are not in a position to determine whether it is a work crime or not. i can tell you, for sure, is that sewage few way was a and the information they all be used as what kinds of, or during this being to do to 70 days. if

you recall for the 1st 2 weeks since the was stopped and it was a tooth and hair mystic siege, all the golfers chip and nothing has come in including for the water. so deal confirmed then the other day, sions that a human rights sports level site as well. like i said, i'm not in a position to confirm that i am here to give you the latest on the ground and what has been happening since the beginning of the war. and there has been serious restrictions on access all the human and terry and the assistance to the strip that also included the food fuel and water. and since then, there's been very, very 2 of these categories. supplies allows into gaza and not enough and, and do not match it to the overwhelming humanitarian needs on the ground. and now

israel says it's doing everything is proud to protect civilians in gauze. is that the impression that you or your team on the ground are getting company a 136, unwrapped piece of house that i've been doing this so far. we have also reports that 70 percent of those kids in the gaza strip since the world started aren't based to be women and children. when it comes to united nations facilities under our, our work where i work, we have that included more than $170.00 hits on our to see these, including those who we were using as, as shelters. and in those incidents, we have that a piece, the one has and people injure nearly $283.00 kings and these facilities, are you hundreds of nations facilities and they need to be protected at all times,

including in times of conflict by all parties. now the on security council votes on another resolution calling for an urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities in gaza showed up to cease 5. do you see any other option to get a into gaza? it needs to be a ceasefire. human fancy sign. well, we also allow the wants of nations and other humanitarian agencies to bring in much seated supplies with up conditions. with the regular to basic surprise me, we're talking about the basics here. people are coming to an run saying to us, what am i going to do with a can of beans? because this is all i have for the coming 3 days for me and my children. we are down to drink water and i can is tune up to a family of 6 or 7 and that that should add to my,

the director of communications for the you, an agency for palestinian refugees. thank you very much. i, a human scuse rebels, half the plan's responsibility for an attack on 2 ships by naval drones and the southern red cde. the group which is backed by ron, set the vessels where links to israel and identified them as the swan atlantic. and the m. s. c. clara, us officials said multiple projectiles with 5 at this one on the line. take off human and the us as worship. the worship us is carney responded. 5 major shipping firms have said they are rerouting the vessels away from the red sea. that's have a look at some of the other day is headlines. hold, francis has given full approval for price to bless, same sex couples, and the documents released by the basset confronts as suggesting. such blessings could be offered as long as they did not confuse the ritual with the sacraments of

heterosexual marriage. it said priests to decide on a case by case basis to egypt. president, doctor felt the high c. c has secured just the term and office of to receiving almost 90 percent of the vote in last week's election. the vote was overshadowed by the 1000 and the severe economic crisis. critics a 10 year long crack down on descent as eliminated any serious opposition. thousands of farmers from around germany have converged on berlin's. brent. the gates to protest against government tends to eliminate some of that tax breaks. the problem is, with no longer receive comments, diesel subsidies would have to pay taxes for agricultural vehicles. the government says that wants to reduce subsidies that are bad for the climate. it's jeremy says it has signed a historic agreement, so deployed troops and this idea it will be the 1st time german book as soldiers

are permanent. the station outside the countries on board is defense minister. both the story is says, germany was ready to defend natal territory off the full, many signing a roadmap with the baltic states. the agreement involves the deployment of the around 4800 soldiers students away india from 2027 onwards. but it wants to both to security, to content russian threats to the region of the russia's invasion of ukraine, the, the big today, the milestone of that very new project and the very impressive project. i think we signed the roadmap between these mania and germany in regards of our brigade, which will be deployed permanently from $2627.00 on as a robust t o one brigade to the to defend. he has eastern flag as is absolutely new for germany. absolutely. new for the business with the 1st time we do that. it's a huge challenge,

but we are really willing to do it. and we are keen on being successful together with our leasing and friends. actually if political correspondent, you know, honda is in viney of she told us more about this deal as well. both defense ministers, cold today a historic day. and you kind of underestimate the fact that germany has indeed now signed this commitment to permanently station troops here in lithuania, in the next couple of years. so german soldiers and the families, they will be living in this way. no. the kids will be going to school here for several years at the time. and this is something wed gemini says it is vital because it wants to essentially help protect the eastern flag of the west and the lines of nato. and this is you have to compare it a bit to what happened during the cold war when british american and french soldiers lived in western germany to help protect what was then the eastern flank of nato. now since the collapse of the soviet union, of course the eastern flank has moved eastwards the baltic. countries for example,

became suffering on the use of the soviet occupation they want to remain suffering . and there is a very tangible fear here in those small bolted countries that russia might one day attacks them. and so the idea of establishing this permanently sway near brigade to send german soldiers here on a permanent basis is also to help the tough russell from even thinking about attacking those small baltic states. so the 1st couple of soldiers will be arriving here, but the whole brigade itself with all the tags that cetera is going to be fully operational by $27.00. a couple of open questions remain, of course, especially regarding long term financing boards. the story is the defense minister who we just had said that it costs roughly $25.00 to $30000000.00 euro is a month to run the brigade at home. so you have to add all the fire and deployment costs, etc. but he says, there's simply no way around it. we've got to do it to deter russia or, you know,

how's reporting that the european union has launched legal proceedings against the social media platform. x formerly known as twitter, regulates, is looking at whether x failed to come to illegal content off to identifying this information related to how most october, 7th attack on israel. it's the 1st investigation under the use digital services act, which increases online companies responsibility for content or the race. for more, all correspondents towed shots as standing buying process, terry. but why has that you launched this action against ex now, as well, there are several reasons why the situation has come to this. and anyone who has been following on the online that that's popped up now. and then between you, internal affairs, commissioner to reboot tool and ex owner e one must and may not be so surprised that we've come to this day now. x and the other online platforms, the, the largest ones operating in the you with more than 45000000 users. as you

mentioned, under the digital services act, have extra requirements to police, their own content, and to quickly take down content that might be harmful or that's of this information or that needs to be labeled as particularly in graphic, these kind of things. and you know that the commission is paying attention to this now because they actually have measures at hand to take action against them. now, after the war broke out between israel and moss raton, warranted the largest online platforms, not just acts, but also tick tock and facebook and instagram, that they needed to do more to combat this flood of absolutely heinous images and information that were, that were coming across their channels and as it turns out, apparently x was the only ones that did not respond sufficiently to the commission's concerns. and that's why today this 1st investigation under the dsa is being launched against x. so x has not responded. but now how has it

responded to the lawsuit? that's right, the statement was put out by the company today saying that it is committed to complying with the requirements under the dsa and that it will be cooperating with the investigation. at the same time, the company said that it wants to protect freedom of speech and that it wants to provide an inclusive environment for its user. so it's clearly not to saying that it has done anything wrong under the dsa, but it says that it will cooperate with the, the european commissions investigation. so what's the next step in? and there are several next steps. i mean, nobody wants that to x be banned from, from operating into european union. what condition official say is that they actually want this content to be taken down. they want this information to be stopped from being spread throughout the block. so what they like to do is, is get an agreement from x that it will enforce the policies that it already have on his books, or that it takes new ones. and that's what we heard today. the investigators will

now start gathering evidence about their concerns and talking to the company and seeing if, if perhaps more, more steps need to be put in place so that it can actually get this content off the internet. but if that doesn't happen, the fines can be severe up to 6 percent of excess annual global turnover. and in the worst case scenario, it could be banned from operating into your opinion if it's simply fails to comply . correspond to terry shows that reporting from brussels. thank you very much terry . i have some on using brief for you. south korean and japanese officials say north korea has 5, what appears to be a long range ballistic missile into the sea of japan is believed to be north. could be a 2nd list. miss a launch in less than 24 hours then young has conducted a red quote number of miss alt test this year in violation of un sanctions. the hong kong media mogul and pro democracy activist jimmy lie has gone on trial,

ashtray mallory came from india to germany and state the language is the mean video. but if the computer it from other countries, then i find the country as good people. so good. the only thing is this jim and the language and you have to the and the starting. i was thinking it was, we'd be the very easy to do 6 months. i wouldn't be comfortable to speak and do it . it's not an easy thing to use. this man helped him. gen may, doctor knows both cultures. he came to germany decades ago as a mechanical engineer. he's turned his experience into a business and now finds indian specialists like ashi for german companies. they pay up to 5 figures, sums and commission for his service, as they can't find suitable applicants in germany. and for foreign software developers, for example, from asia, germany is very attractive on how to use this clearly more leisure time here and

to better quality of life. and then the most large companies on big cities. and when you go to work, you have to commute at least one in the house or 2 hours every day. this is not the case in germany, and that's just one reason why the quality of life is significantly better. several nice to so for the living is going to take to dispose of the deed, mar, dirt owns a tech style business. he's trying to find new workers from abroad as well. he needs more man power to help keep up with orders. not, not hoops. give sellers, no, we don't have young workers from germany anymore. that's because at some point in the past manufacturer has had less work and tired, fewer apprentices do. we should be nearly, i understood happen. half the factories employees are from abroad without the help of a recruiter deep mark dericks is found an armenian who can do the job and wants to

hire him. hello, diploma. i'm well, how are you? dear? good, very good. i have already saw you on a parchment here in germany. for 18 months deep, my derek has been trying to bring refuge from armenia to germany. the german authorities did not recognize his credentials. plus the slow bureaucracy is frustrating for the business owner. who wants to sponsor the work visa? germany needs hundreds of thousands of new skilled workers. it will need even more in the future as 4000000 people will retire in the next decade. and there are enough young people to replace them. so back at the computer company we're actually malware works. he's settled well into germany and dreams of staying. he wants to bring his family to germany, just like his colleague from gone up and enroll his children in school here. his advice to others. it's up to you how you want to be this,

how you want me to communication in germany. if you ask anything, david, let's dig a bit deeper into this. is steve busy from a business desk even at overseas talent? how important is this becoming for germany? yeah it's, it's very important. i mean, germany isn't just an aging workforce, it's one that on average is working fewer hours as more people take up part time. and this is at a time right now of record employment. so, you know, if you want to keep the thing running, there's not a whole lot of leverage to pull these days, right. so that's why we're seeing more businesses, more industry groups look towards overseas talent. and this cuts across job sectors . this isn't just nurses and hospitals in itc and software like we just saw there. it's bakeries, for example, they're looking to places like vietnam, the philippines, to kenya to north africa. there's a federal program right now. nope, migration isn't the only solution. if you could encourage people to work more hours, that would be another one, but it isn't important. so if you're not working less,

you say people are working less. yeah. their pop time, they're working more part time. part time has become more preferred over time, especially in germany. we've seen that in a number of countries here in europe. and traditionally it was because of raising children taking care of elderly family members. and now it's increasingly because, or people more people say this because of work life balance. so that's another thing that has actually reduced the overall amount of hours being worked in germany, ends in the number of european countries. now the bulletin recently passed a new role that is supposed to make it easier to hire for work as a for companies isn't going to work. yeah, it should. it's a good 1st start. let's say that right? it's always been difficult about the job market here in germany is that it's highly regulated and that in many ways has been insulated from competition overseas. now that you need those workers, it's really difficult. many cases. they're often required to have the exact same qualifications or certifications $1.00 to $1.00 as a german candidate would have. but in many countries they don't habits that sort of

impossible. and then once they get a visa, it's highly tailored to their specific jobs. so with the new law, we're seeing new rules phase. been some of this is going to be loose ends, but it's still going to be difficult because it's, it requires, it leans on a bureaucracy that itself is quite aging here. that's not very flexible. it's not very digital, so a lot of these qualifications will still need to be met. people will now be allowed to come over to jeremy while their qualifications are checked out. but it is going to take 2 to 3 years before everything is for going forward. there's a green light then what's the point that there's a flip side to this uh, migration migration debate because it is also migration is driving the popular popularity of a germany is large file right party, right? uh, the, the a of the, how much of a problem is that for german businesses? i think this is the question role asking as we go forward, especially as we see the f, the rise and the polls, you know, where they're strong. the former east is also one area where many industries are now building up big plants. for example, you're looking at intel and t as mc chip makers,

both building in the east. we're seeing a test book, for example, battery makers building out there. they're not gonna find german workers to fall. those spots are gonna require foreign workers, but this is an area where the f d, as you said, is popular. they're at best skeptical to oversee talent at worst, have done right, hostile to them. and a lot of that is been influencing the governments sort of the way the government talks itself. you know, when it talks about deporting more people who hear legally, it's in sort of a mixed message if you're looking for them, but also the porting other migrant. so i think at the end of the day, people will always go where they need to be to get a good livelihood. and if there are people like the one we saw on that story who say ultimately this is good spot, then i think they're going to keep coming. but it could be difficult. student visit aptitude of your business. thank you very much. steven. c o c w news. here's a reminder of our top story. us defense secretary lloyd austin is in israel as part of his latest diplomatic. 2 of them at least is being holding thoughts with
