9:03 am
in more than 90 percent of the population displaced is the smoke from the latest one bod meant hills. this type of rough uh, some of them share their desperation. we came from the north and they said, you should had to rough. uh. it's a safe place. they followed us to rough. uh and hit us. where is it safe? where should we go? no, i wish for a complete ceasefire, an end to the death and suffering. it's been 75 days. people are still getting killed. there's still people under the rubble that i don't hear from many people. communications are out on the follow up. one for negotiations are taking place that could lead to a new, temporary truce, but many differences still need to be overcome. the costs are based, how much lead there are a smile, how need to travel to car on wednesday for talks with addiction officials. the
9:04 am
group which is considered a terrorist organization by multiple countries, says it only once a permanent sees fire. something real down by israel with prime minister benjamin netanyahu say that is impossible until him us is defeated. present joe biden says the us is negotiating a new un resolution on gaza. the quote we may be able to agree to us is holding talks with key allies with un security council. still working to get american approval on a current era sponsored resolution to hold the funding. a boat home that has been delayed for a 3rd time as diplomats negotiate with the united states on the word. the latest version calls for the suspension of hostilities all over the weekend. friends, you can germany join global calls for a see spar. i asked our special correspond to abraham in jerusalem if there are any
9:05 am
signs of progress on the diplomatic front. so unfortunately not, it does seem that these diplomatic efforts are reaching somewhat of a deadlock. i the opinions of the various parties are still, it seems too far away from each other. israel still, as it's determined to illuminate how must completely and to continue with the war as it has so far in order to achieve in order to achieve its goals. how am i saying that they want to 1st seat a ceasefire before they can enter new negotiations? for a hostage for a prisoner exchange agreement. and so they want different conditions from the one deal that we had before that saw a lot of hostages released and a lot of palestinian prisoners. and it is really jails released as well. as you
9:06 am
mentioned, the united states also plays a huge role because it does have that video in the security council. and since it has sighted overwhelmingly with israel in this conflict, the united states has to be convinced as well not to veto any more resolution. and that, that takes, of course, a lot of diplomacy and a lot of negotiations. this is also calling on israel to scale back is operations in gaza and to, to make those operations more targeted. is there any indication? and that is really, horses are doing not or it doesn't seem so um it's really bombardment has continued throughout the strip and also in the southern part of the guys a strip where civilians were initially asked to evacuate to be safe. but now the military operation has, is well underway in the south as well. and recently,
9:07 am
a 140000 people were asked to evacuate from the south. but then in getting the people they're asking themselves where to it's already a very small piece of land and they have already moved a lot of and in many cases from the north to the south. the israel's military says it's bound to major him, us command center and gaza city, which it says was used by him. us as leaders. what more can you tell us about that? well, well, the information that we know is solely based on what the ideas says. we are not able to go in these tunnels or verify that information ourselves, but they say that they have found a tunnel that belong to our believe to been used by how much leaders like if us and why and how much a dave and these are figures that are believe to be the master. mine's
9:08 am
pretty much behind the october 7th a. her attacks and thank you very much. that was our correspond it evening in jerusalem are now to the ongoing conflict in sudan were 8 organizations, a warning of a looming hunger catastrophe. some are calling the, the, the conflict there, incident, a forgotten war. it's pushing the economy into collapse around 12000 people, been killed, and 6000000 displaced in the fighting. un says it's been able to help only a small number of the 25000000 people in need of aid and funding even for that is running low sedans, war rough to 8 months ago, after a period of tension between the heads of the army and the paramilitary force, you as to military and cora door coordinator rather force it and says the situation on the ground is getting worse by the day. the situation into down 8 months after
9:09 am
the conflict started is catastrophic. despite the valiant efforts of the humanitarian community, the partners, the agencies on the ground, we are still facing significant challenges. we have about 7000000 people displaced in sudan, which is the highest displacement situation globally. so we are stretched in terms of our ability to respond to what is quite a high number of of needs across the board. we're facing a population, but it's about 24700000 people in need of humanitarian assistance to date. we've been able to reach about 4000000 and our goal is to hopefully reach around 18000000. our overall budget on needs is about 2600000000 to date. we received only 38.6 percent of that or
9:10 am
the escalating or has also made its dangerous for journalists to report from many parts of sedan, but dw, corresponded to mariel. miller managed to get into the south of the country to the remote revel controlled new by mountains where more and more people are fleeing in search of safety. some are finding their way to the a gary camp for internally displaced persons. these remote parts of sedan has become a place of refuge for people fleeing the war. and some of them can now tell the stories. and the name is honda, how mulder, i fled from one hard to of to i lost my 2 children and one of my legs shipments to tell the stories we had to enter so done illegally by ourselves. so done to reach the remote new the mountains region check points, a guarded by the s p. m and rebel group. they've been fighting the sudanese government for almost 40 years,
9:11 am
demanding self determination and secularism. now the war has re ignited this old conflict. as we travelling with german n g o cap anymore, we are allowed to pass after an 8 hour drive, we reach a good weekend, thousands of internally displaced. people have sold refuge here, including honda. how much say that i've done at the bomb. he tell a house, i didn't lose my legs straight away and it didn't to me to, to sense that it was 7. someone who could know when i bought it just felt none because a couple of she was taken to hospital when she woke up from surgery to amputate her leg. the doctors told her that she had also lost her 2 sons. our teeth and the other 2 were only 2 and 4 years old. i live in by children, the adorable. we played a lot together, but god has taken them away from me set and leave it to go to charge the government
9:12 am
. i don't blame god for it. was to get a bottom over sticking that i'm going to going to ship it took a while, a roughly a quarter of a 1000000 people reach the remote into the mountains region. this local church played a crucial role in providing century many people in the congregation here today say they have this man to thing for their lives, boston most equity society. and a few weeks after the fighting broke out, he organized $23.00 buses, which transported $1500.00 residents of park to him to safety and the new by mountains. how about people this got that? well, if people died, people there were not to, they were not having foot the bus. katie mall done the number not to use. i'll post ok. because people that i knew from there and they were not able to instead of that . so we just from the bus, and if there's a lot of how gone the way people in this region have to get by without help,
9:13 am
8 organizations can't access it because of the fighting. almost 10000 people have found refuge in this camp. now at least they have a sense of safety, but not much else. they like clean water, proper food and shelter, and the only medical facility has not enough medicine. despite what she's gone through honda, how moto says she won't give up. she has 2 other children to take care of. i do now . so i was told that i may make them any good so that i may make them be happy. they should not see them right. and we don't have a complete, right, i'm practice to do. but if i don't do one, so that a minute just them to say that i'm with the was still ongoing. many of the stories of those last been effected are only starting to trickle out. what's clear is that the effects will last well into the next generation. for more of this,
9:14 am
we can talk to calculating differential it. and now she works with the 8 organization, save the children. she had to leave sedan because of the fighting there and join just now from compiler. and you've gone to welcome to the program. coming to understand some of your colleagues are still in sudan. what are you hearing from them about the security situation? now? the majority of my colleagues are actually in sit down on the ground and i'm there is some very, very recent trends and the security situation most namely into the updates where there was a lot of random places. and basically, the city, the estate capital has been all taken over by the methods of workforce. and then just a moment ago, we heard from the un coordinator for sudan saying that aid workers can only reach
9:15 am
15 percent of the people there who need help. why is it so difficult to get a where it's needed into to, as i'm the reason for this one obviously is the security situation. so while we are operating across the country that certain areas, it is just to the interest to send over stuff. they also some very privilege delays and changing processes, and there's a lot of that focus see on political level ongoing, but it's still to some extent remaining. so your organization has a special focus on children. tell us how children incident are affected by the war . so the why it's impacting heavily all civilians and obviously also the children around 32nd 1000000 children. i need those 2178, and the health system is basically a break breaking down and the wrong i'm 50000 babies will be born without the
9:16 am
mother's having access to proper prenatal care. and so the brain trends the love of children i'm on there is um, so it is urgent that we can deliver to them and is there. and it's right now much of the world's attention right though, has been focused on the war between is real and i'm us and on russia's war against ukraine is that's affecting efforts to drill up international, a poor sudan. so that's currently too huge. prices are actually developing a lot of attention, but so that also needs a lot of attention. the situation on the ground was devastating, as we've seen in the, in, in what the other people have said already about the situation. so really high level political essentially is needed a lot of pressure to apply to human rights. and the reports we're getting from the
9:17 am
communities of really the state thing, the violations against children and to the special violence recruitment into an groups coming. so we're in a lot more attention is required to put pressure on the bar in practice, to oppose human rights and shop rights. catalina, thank you very much for talking with this. that was catalina punched florida with save the children speaking to us from composite. you can do that, let's catch you up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. voting has been extended to a 2nd day in con, goes presidential election. president felix, which is a katie, is running against 18 challenges. he's hoping to win the 2nd term, more than 40000000 people are eligible to take part in the vote. the ballast has been disrupted by delays and some pulling stations and civil conflict in each
9:18 am
and as well as president nicholas. my daughter has welcome to his ally alex, who was freed by the united states and a prisoner deal. so a colombian business man was arrested in 2020 and accused by the us of money laundering for the venezuelan government. as part of the deal been as well released, several opposition link prisoners as well as 10 americans in argentine, new economic measures announced by president hop email. i have spark protests in the capital. one of ours thousands turned out to march against drastic costs to public spending. plans to sell off state owned enterprises and a devaluation of the pay. so they are fighting for worker's rights. some say they are fighting for their freedom . fighting against the drastic changes announced by their country's new president.
9:19 am
here i am protesting, defending my right to express myself to demonstrate and enjoy my right to eat. i mean to leave the right to excess health care and everything that's a take to the side where the people have the right to demonstrate and live with dignity. that margin tina's new government has tightened. demonstration regulations, citing the right of free movement. protestors have been forbidden from blocking main roads. the new authorities say anyone found to be breaking the rules could face a cut to their social benefits. 6 this is the man causing all the uproar. have you mean they were sworn into office less than 2 weeks ago? he won the election on
9:20 am
a promise to reform argentina's tattered economy. and the only if today i have signed a degree of necessity and diligently, but i want to begin to unplug the oppressive, legal and institutional framework that has destroyed our country. of his recipe, what he calls economic shock therapy are us tears. he measures the mess of the regulation of the economy. the lady has also the value of the argentine pets, so by 50 percent, his plans include cutting energy and transportation subsidies. i'm closing some government ministries, the changes come a mid soaring installation and rising poverty and estimated 6000000 people are killed annually either directly or indirectly by a problem that's growing more critical by the year. anti mike crow beal,
9:21 am
resistance or am or many process engines can no longer be controlled by the most effective medicines we for finding them. this developing new medicines has become critical, but even more difficult than before and t. my prove your resistance affects us all because anyone could at some point, be infected by potentially deadly common microbes that no longer respond to the medicines we use to treat them globally, am or pathogens already kill more people than either h i. v. aids or malaria. it's a trend that has experts very worried it's getting worse and onto the allstate. resistance is rising. if you don't do anything, no, we will have a post on to about to do, you know, by 2050 the most direct threat to human health as opposed by antibiotic resistant bacteria, often called super bugs. the w h o has identified priority pathogens among them,
9:22 am
drug resistant clostridium, diff, a seal, which can cause life threatening diarrhea as well as a drug resistance strain of the bacteria that causes gonorrhea, half a dozen others or even more deadly. if you combine all of those 6 passages, it's the responsive of it for close to 75 percent of all this attributable to trunk resistant infections in 2019 blood stream infections normal and the morning and meningitis. these are the, the, the leading diseases that are causing problems. but antibiotic resistant bacteria are just one aspect of the issue. viruses among them h i v can also grow and responsive to the drugs used to treat them as can parasites, like the plasmodium the causes, malaria and doctors are also now seeing many more fungal infections that were once easily treatable,
9:23 am
acquiring resistance to conventional medications. resistance can develop very fast, it is a new antibiotic because it has introduced for use, right? right now today. so on average, we would see reports of resistance in about 2 to 3 years. but in the lab here, if you do this in the lab, you'll see this in 11 days or something like that for certain antibiotics. i think we have to remember it's a not true evolutionary process, and this is accelerated by the misuse and over use of on to my cool deals become stop it. but we can fluid thing in the evolutionary arms race with enemies that are too tiny to see. with the naked eye, the situation is growing critical. we have to develop new antibiotics and other treatments and use the ones we already have more wisely. for this and join now by dw science correspondent derek williams. derek, we just heard how pathogens always develop and t, mike ro,
9:24 am
buick resistance. eventually what factors influence that and help these passages to spread? there are a number of different factors that really play into it. it's, it's quite a complicated topic as, as our experts i mentioned, there's the, the miss hughes and the over use of antibiotics. for instance, if, if you get cove it, it's not going to help you to take an antibiotic cobit as a virus and they have to buy out ex help against bacteria. what it will do, however, is drive the evolution of resistance in the bacteria in your body. so the misuse and the over use of a particular antibiotic for a disease that it's not going to actually help treat is driving this natural evolution. but there's also other factors that are involved. for example, the widespread prophylactic years of antibiotics in an intensive live stock farming that plays a role that they're being used, preventively and animals in order to keep them. and these farming factories from
9:25 am
developing diseases in the 1st place, rather than treating a disease after it's been developed. so there, there's a lot of moving parts and it's quite a complicated topic. but um, but those are some of the basics. why are we steadily developing a new treatments to avoid this problem? derrick, what's holding pharma companies back on the whole drug development system when it comes to antibiotics, this is kind of a little bit broken. i mean, it's very expensive and takes a very, very long time to develop new drugs to get them from the pre clinical stage, all the way through through approval. and it takes 10 to 15 years can cost you up to like a $1000000000.00. so it's an expensive proposition and pharma companies are businesses, so they're profit driven and the problem is, is there's just not that much profit in antibiotics. it's kind of a one and done thing and we, and we still have antibiotics that we can use and that sort of work. but they're just as the, as the pathogens develop more as the bacteria develop more resistance to them,
9:26 am
they're working less and less well. and added to that, there's the problem that it's actually a hidden problem. since most of what's going on is, is happening in the developing world. what might life look like? they're like if we don't manage to develop new medicines that can get these pathogens under control. well, it's kind of scary to pull out some statistics right now. there are as, as, as we heard about 1300000000 that's directly attributable to m r pathogens every year. that's, that works out to about 3 and a half 1000 people every day are dying from it. and if we don't get on top of the, of the issue by the year 2050, it could actually turn into some estimates, say 10000000 people here. so it would turn into a cause of mortality, the tops cancer and, and to heart disease. the thing is most frustrating, i think, for the experts in this particular area is that we can't,
