arrangements that people elected long before the pyramid, technical and logistical feet that symbolized the impossible to see it. the stones tell the story of a powerful resolution. what exactly happened as a 10000 years ago? secrets shone age, stats december 22nd. on the w. a great britain's bar right in front of the canada auto bunks. the countries are falling to the cold of us defense secretary lloyd austin, joined in maritime protection, forced to keep the red sea clear of who's the rebels. base indiana who face have been attacking commercial vessels in the red sea, causing at least a 5 big shipping companies to stop operating that. so with a task force, look, i'm going to the who fish really want, i'm feel go invalid, and this is the day. the,

these regulatory attacks are a serious international problem. actions will be taken in coordination with our allies. you know, these attacks will not be told the guy, israel security is rest and he's not only from gaza, also by the who t you're not out. so this is not a gauge be something that is easily or said also on the day after rumbling away for weeks, rocketing community is enforcing the evacuation of residents. volcano in iceland has finally left loose throwing on spectacular fountains of molten lava. i'm. i'm

very excited to be here and in this, in this place in this, in this time. and just being able to see this natural phenomenon happen just seeing lava emerged from the ground. even if it's it, in a particular confidence such as this is just fascinating. see, just nature inaction. i just, it's just like some of the fun movie the, the welcome to the day, the u. s. as in, as the creation of a multinational task force to help protect ships traveling through one of the world's most important was the waste the red sea. for weeks since the rebels have been using that stronghold in yemen to target israel and anyone they consider to be linked to it of its war in gaza. the around back to militant is the midst of attacks and see several vessels along the red sea roads, which covers more than 10 percent of global trade. shipping jobs, cma c, g n, a mask. and how about blowing into holes suspended, sailing through the area?

disrupting a vital audrey for consumer goods, oil and liquified natural gas between asia and new york. instead of 17 days to transport cargo ships have been rerouted around africa's cape of good hope. taking more than twice as long. and of course inflating costs with the task force operation prosperity, guardian, aims to protect ships on the red sea using one of the wells most important matters on trade routes. the series come out. several companies have halted shipping after that search and attacks by a militants from german business grew back by iran, says the vessels that targeted would think to sewage, a short helicopter flight. and a quick hijack the crew of the galaxy leader didn't stand a chance after who the rebels landed on deck and went straight for the bridge. that these pictures were released by who to leadership,

who they are p a to show the 1st of many attacks against chips and the red sea humans. iran back military group assess the galaxy leader was carrying good, spelled for a port in israel, recent they so numerous attacks against the tank and freighters in the area. among them hits against 2 ships, transporting cargo ford tally and switch. shipping giant m a c. h 2 was set to be heading to israel the what the claim that the actions are directly tied to the countries war in gaza. alone. yeah. well the 2 container ships m a c l on. yeah. and m a c palostio. we're heading to the israeli entity and were targeted by 2 suitable naval ms. so the process of targeting the 2 ships came after the crews refused to respond to calls from the many naval forces. as well as firey warning messages. they get many armed forces. reassure,

all ships heading to old ports around the world, except is really ports that no harm will be full. them not much of a reassurance for the shipping sector. the problem from yemen, the which he can easily control the pop in my depth, straight the southern entrance to the red sea and a bottleneck for global shipping. it allows cargo from asia, as well as the middle east, to access the suez canal for a 17 day trip to europe on average, as opposed to a $41.00 day journey around the african continent. some shipping companies have already begun to rewrote their ships, should that be more of us or expecting yet another hit to economies around the world, including germany's, the dominic economy and many other economies have been affected by supply bottlenecks in the past. so these supply or bottlenecks have been using in recent mom's about has hope, the economy and if the they are now coming back,

if we get new bottlenecks here, this will fall the hold back the economy. so it's a real threat. this may reduce production and drive up prices. meanwhile, the international community is taking action on a visit to bar ein us defense secretary lloyd austin, and the own simpleton nation forced to patrol the waters of given and secure shipping routes. well, let's pick this up with mentally established asha or copy whose research associates and instructor at harvard university. welcome to dw. so when, who sees a top vessels in the red sea? this looks like this is not necessarily about piracy, because these are not interested in seizing a ship for its monetary value. they're not interested in seizing a ship for its political value. they're merely looking for propaganda victories on the red sea in order to shore up their own position within human rights. so they,

they seem to ship to just talk us through about how does a benefit them so after 2014, the, was he seized the capital city of santa they, for a long war, a civil war against the saudi backed internationally recognized government as late as october, 6th of 2023, it seemed as if the saudis and the who with these were on the verge of signing a piece of court. because these were negotiating from the position of weakness. october 7th, presented it with these with an opportunity to both focus on an external enemy rather than on their own humanitarian crisis within human. and also has an opportunity to shore up their own local support amongst the minis. bye for train themselves as fighters against israel against an external enemy. and so is that a full connection will link between these who would fees and thomas or are they

just facing the same enemy? the link is really seen between iran from us as well that all 3 of these organizations are being funded or being armed in are also are being led by a general feeling or a general come rhetoric as being part of the larger or raining and vision for the middle east, one that has been towards creating instability within the middle east and also creating a degree of chaos that really plays into the reigning national and regional strategy of creating instability within the middle east. ok, so now we have the assembly of this us lead a task force. what difference do you think that is likely to make so this is not the 1st time that the red sea has been. the southern red say specifically

has been the target of both piracy and instability, especially related to the conflict with israel since the 1950s. the southern red sea has been a location of instability. it's been also a source of challenges to the navigation as a freedom of navigation. so this is not an old story. neither is this uh, you know, story within the whole thing is themselves on the face or taking numerous opportunities, the militants to a tech savvy shipping in 2015 and 16 and to continuously threaten shipping through the southern red sea. this is merely another case, or another example is an opportunity that, that with these have taken to hold that by the minds of hostage in some ways to global commerce and to global shipping. okay, so the, this new coalition is come together. i can find a defensive work and sit with these limits, the ability to actually target the ships going through the ramsey and ultimately

actually plays into what the, what these want from this entire episode is international attention local legitimacy and for train themselves is exactly, is there slogan says mostly i'm going to come out of this, i am just to america just to is role that wants to portray themselves as warriors against the west. and that's precisely what this international coalition is giving them on a silver platter. thank you so much for uh, guide you through that. so clearly middle east august, actually a copy from the university and i'm a strong health ministry. garza says, more than 19000 people have been killed in the ball with his ro, independent, being verified, that figure is difficult, but the us, the us and has described civilian casualties as unprecedented. you may find some of the images in the next report distressing. counting the dead and already gruesome job made almost impossible,

but on the ground fighting the relentless bombardment just as rarely forces in the shape tales of all the targets in children. as you can see, that's what happened to me. south from f sixteens overheating, little children's, all part of the value of the human total of the fighting itself, and conveyed by witnesses and by of, of what conduct is repeated. blackouts. mean, social media is sometimes the only way to get updates. no longer able to provide surgeries at all the hospital, the hospital does no effectively a 1st aid station. hundreds of wounded now is hospitable. with no access to surgery, they will die from the woods. and official total of casualties is being kept by the palestinian health ministry and gaza. it's the latest update,

said israel defensive has killed more than $19000.00 palestinians. the have mass run, ministry doesn't differentiate between civilians and competence. bought has said that most of those killed women and children secretary general for this and think united nations has backed this claim question . despite the united verification challenges, what he's cleared is that we have had in a few weeks, thousands of children killed. so these is what mets us, we are witnessing a killing of civilians. that is, and that allows an end president. it's in any conflict since i am 2nd said to jello. the level of the no chance included in the official desk told of the

thousands of people who are missing, leveled off and fed dead under the rubble. when if they are recovered, officials and garza will have to figure out where to bury them. salmon trays are either full or inaccessible because of fighting. and on the number of bodies has been buried and mass graves. as ukraine, where i present loved them, is that landscape says he's down. he wants to mobilize as many as 500000 troops, or he hasn't yet taken a decision on the matter and end of year news conference in key if even tell him to say that no one knows when the war with russia will end. during a reason to trip to washington as to the landscape file to secure congressional approval for $60000000000.00 in military funding. despite this, he said he remained confident us would not a bond with its support for his country. unprecedented method that the middle east conflict is undermining international support for his country. test the no, no,

some say, well ukraine has been receiving our support for 2 years. and now israel is facing a significant challenge time with the so these were the voices that we heard at the beginning of this tragedy. see that? and that is why this is definitely not having a positive impact on ukraine anomalies, e, c, e. let's get more from that correspondent meant to you said putting it in keith and watch the events are welcome mathias. what stood out for you. we saw a visit, the tire president here, a president. so that look pretty so, but lots of the problems that have been there. you could not to feel the energy and the power of the jokes that he used to crack at press conferences before it looks like he's really under pressure this year. it's not been a very good year,

could you create? and that was of course, so throughout the press conference. so we have fights and kind of in the style night allies wavering on a, did the president say anything about a way out of this situation. he was very careful to not to give any prospect blaming partly the discussion around the counter offensive for its failure because people had openly discussed ukraine strategy that might have given the russians time to prepare. so he was really careful not to say anything specific about his prospect for the next year. he was to defy and he was still saying that ukraine will continue its fight and that is a is good. the goal is have not changed that they're still working on, winning back the terry tree, a few grain to the borders of 1991 and to defeat dresser wide. so despite being a republican abroad buffing the, the us congress and victor,

old on, uh, in v, a, u g. same sudden that viper military and financial aid from those 2 areas would continue of the he said that he expects us to deliver on what they have from is that the package of $60000000000.00 us dollars that they had agreed upon meant that the us would eventually overcome their internal political disputes in order to make this possible. and he said the same is true for the european union that they were trying to find a way to deliberate the 8 that they had already promised. he said however, that depending on that that there is worries that the elections in the us might change the picture. and that's a new us government, presumably, possibly under a trump uh that would to reject to aid ukraine. would change the picture that would also influence europe. so there are certainly worries in the longer term,

but he said he was confident that what had or is being agreed upon the $50000000000.00 euros and $60000000000.00 us dollars that to the, to the, that the us and the you, they would come around to deliver these so i'm, we have a recent folding number showing that the number of the training. so trust presidents, alaska has dropped. i was that evident today if you had been honest with the the that whether the computer he would still be able to unite the country behind him. whether you would feel that this unity um, also with regard to him uh, was slowly backsliding. and he kind of very defensively said that, um, if in the future the training is decide to vote for a lot the prison, and that would be the normal course of things it, let's put this sliding numbers all uh, a little bit into context. um, of course in the 1st year of the war and trust and the president has the exception

of the high with of 80 percent until around 90 percent at times and to use into the war with things the way the off the war in the stalemate. it's not a big surprise that he does not reach the same numbers anymore, but that's also not a over exaggerate to this difference. there is only 12 percent or so of ukrainians who say that they do not trust the president and more than 60 percent to supporting him. um that's more of a global number. i would say for a president as the country settings into a more let's say maybe um, less exceptional way of dealing with things in the as it's settling into the long game. it's not that he has lost completely trust. thank you much estimates, i said, but in case

volcano has erupt it in iceland during fountains of lava, more than a 100 meters into the app. it'd be got on monday, they have the time of going to vague south west of the capital. reykjavik authorities had been expecting the interruption and had been evacuating the area. despite this, they was surprised by the interruption, size and intensity. the plumes of smoke and lava on the re can this peninsula in iceland. following a weeks of intense uh, quakes. to arrest in the nearby town of green the vic looked on happened just seeing while that emerged from the ground. even if it's it in a particular confidence such as this is just fascinating. see, just nature inaction. i just, it's just like some different movie a spectacle for some below enforcement in the area is making sure people in this town stay safe. no,

there's our option here near grant that we and we have cleared the town and the area. and now we're just securing the area and closing every road to the area. and that's just in process. no. but then we're just trying to manage the situation here. 5 plans coast guard is. i'm highlights that release this for to adjust it. so phase dependency led to determine the exact size of the russian. iceland is no stranger to volcanoes. it currently has the $23.00 active erections. that's the highest number in europe. stow familiar, this seems to be a few 100 cubic meters per 2nd at the or this is quite a bit more and the evolution seen on the bench to live until now when you're quite small and within the beginning, what's the scientist say? it is still unclear. how long this one will go on for gen list and goes

beyond the 6 percent, joins us from the icelandic and capital reykjavik. welcome to dw, we just heard that you guys have the most of all comic activity in your visit. i think particularly special about this latest eruption it will be solved. so when it started last night, it started like a sort of a small orange block, pumping out of the earth and quickly became that 4 kilometer long fisher. we saw in that report, certainly some dramatic paintings, colors of some, some dramatic strokes. so i mean, even guys, there's of lava going some 18 meters up in the air. so this is close to the tunnel, kind of it gets close to a geothermal power plant. it's also close to a popular tourist destinations of the lagoon. of all of those were possibly impacted. now, some almost 24 hours later the, the power of the russian has wayne. it's about

a 4th of the strength that it was before. kilometer fisher is now down to a couple of 100 meters, the level as low as much less. it's no longer a posing a threat to infrastructure in the beloved flow is flowing away from the critical infrastructure. so it seems that we have thoughts, the bullets on this one, right? i'm behind jail and that will keep our fingers crossed and we had in our report, is it searching on eruptions that, that you have going at the moment? what's it like trying to live with always going on? a lovely, certainly active volcanoes. although the area where this is roxanne happened until a couple of years ago was to be it's not in active and texting it was dormant there . we hadn't seen that option in this area for 800 years. so not monday of this. remember the last one was the lead up to interaction of this sort of it is a series of uh, earthquakes. so if it happens in the middle of the night, it seems like somebody is standing at the end of your bed and gives it

a decent kick. and he's not gonna jump out of bed and your fight and flight or flight the instinct and the gentleman kicks and go for your heads, tells you it's just another air. the earthquake go back to bed. it's a bit of a nuisance. but it's not much more than that for most of us. this is a spectacle tonight we have uh, what's his score called the glacier clouds in the sky. we have active with auto body elders and then the same goal. what's left of this direction in the background? it's quite spectacular to see quite honestly. okay, so you just get on with life. it's just becomes another instagram level moment. if it does a little bit on that sort of the danger it becomes in iceland, which is such an active place, you have to have a healthy amount of respect, but also a healthy amount of disrespect because otherwise you'd be constantly worried about like what might happen but uh you have to be careful the doors, me so and that report shouldn't have been there because there are costs is coming out of that. not only lava you can easily hurt yourself. you can also have dangers

. others that might need to rescue. you don't go there. but having said that, this is the force or direction and just over 3 years in that particular area, we've seen each one basically bring us uh, a boatloads or a plane loads of instagram influencers of what to take of somebody there. and we're try to fly, they're drawn into the, into the lava. i'd be surprised to see if this was any different indeed the stock price of both iceland airlines went up quite a bit today, which probably tells you what the market aspect stuff and wow, so people on 1st off they go, they are flying in next. they've got the photos indeed a new, it's even for, for air travelers. it's quite interesting on what's, what's, what's like the flight rate or just the before we went down and you see the planes taking off from the international airport to the loop over the peninsula, to fly over the volcano to give their passengers a bit of a bit of

a view outside of the window. so that's how freaked out people are about all of this. so i know you're doing this rather the aside from ologist. but what, what is it about iceland, that means that this is happening so frequently 6 licenses. uh, on 2 continental plates, which are sort of going both in this direction and a testing of park. and in the middle you have the north atlantic, which, which is many people think we see it on top of a hospital, which means that a lot of comes almost directly from the magma corner of the earth. then sort of those in the gulf when one becomes available. that is basically what happened. spice length was created this way. this is why we have geothermal, keep, this is why we give chico thermal power. that said what comes with that quality of life. you have to take the good with the bad or the back of the good. good, good talking to you i'm. i'm a book a flight next step 12 next year. um it's at least the ink off or beyond the sink present in reykjavik. thank you so much my pleasure to and that was that
