including those accused of planning. the october 7th terrorist attacks causes from us government says at least 20000 people have now been killed in israel's offensive, is rarely prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has vowed to continue the operation in gaza until all of israel's objectives are meant. there is no end to seems like the syndic as a street several is really air strike. heating his southern city of rough survivors rush to barely fonts in the hospitals with little hold for safety anywhere in the territory of all of a sudden the 1st rock of land and destroying everything. by the time the 2nd rock had hidden, we weren't able to see anything in the house anymore. we barely made it out. the whole house fell down. we found a woman who had just given birth vices area and were able to drag her out with her baby girl who is choking. she was taking her last breath. there she is over there.
11:03 am
on the quick lovely line. i am over do the, the you an estimate stands nearly 60 percent of old guys. this infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed in more than 90 percent of the population displaced is the smoke from the latest embodiments fills. 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 rock 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 on for negotiations are taking place that could lead to a new,
11:04 am
temporary truce. but many differences still need to be overcome. the cuts are based, how much lead there are. you smile how i need to travel to car on wednesday for talks with addiction officials. the group which is considered a terrorist organization by multiple countries, says it only once a permanent ceasefire. something ruled out by israel with prime minister benjamin netanyahu say that is impossible until him us is defeated. president joe biden says the us is negotiating a new un resolution ongoing so that quote, we may be able to agree to the us as holding talks with key allies with the un security council still working to get an american approval on a current era sponsored run a solution resolution to hold for finding a vote on that has been delayed for a 3rd time as diplomats negotiate with the united states on the wording. the latest
11:05 am
version calls for suspension of hostilities. over the weekend, france, u. k and germany joined global calls for a cease fire. i asked our special correspondent, a abraham in jerusalem if there are any 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 is real and still as it is determined to illuminate how must completely and to continue with the war as it has so far in order to improve in order to achieve its goals, how much thing that they want to 1st seat a ceasefire before they can enter new negotiations for a hostage for
11:06 am
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 mentioned, the united states also plays a huge role because it does have that video in the security council. and since it has cited 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 v u. s is also calling on israel to scale back is operations in gaza and to, to make those operations more targeted. is there any indication a that is really forces or doing that or it doesn't seem so um it's really bombardment has continued throughout the strip and also in the
11:07 am
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, a 140000 people were asked to evacuate from the south. but then in getting the people there asking themselves where to it's already a very small piece of land and they have already moved a lot 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 tunnels that belong to our believe to been used by how much leaders like yes,
11:08 am
yes and why and how much a dave and these are figures that are believe to be the master. mine's pretty much behind the october 7th, a to her attacks. a, a thank you very much. that was our, correspond it pain interesting. now to the democratic republic of congo, where the dead line for the country's presidential elections has been extended following a k on the 1st day of boding. many of the countries eligible 40000000 voters based, long delays missing ballot papers or polling stations that never opened. and all the election fits present phoenix, just a katie, a guess, 18 challengers. he's hoping to will the 2nd term and is considered front rather voting has been disrupted by lengthy delays in some centers and civil conflict in the east slides,
11:09 am
the logistical setbacks there have been allegations of fraud in violence come the leads, voters is you to cause the ballots grow in patient after hours of wasting stimulus seems a sponsored, it's super low of a seem to is across the country. we've been here since 5 am, but so far nothing has started. we don't understand. we're waiting for them. we're not leaving until they start. moses blamed the chaos on delays and opening poles while stations reported a lack of balance right before the election day of say they were surprised to find the names missing from folks unless somebody came very early in the morning because i wanted to know which office i was going to vote
11:10 am
and i looked for my name, but so far i haven't found it says, you know, the book aside, the election chaos is being compounded by fighting and congress east, which has prevented 1500000 people from registering to vote via the up on monday is all they were quite a few people who didn't end up on the list. we. the observe is, can see that the organization was not good in this for speak to the people a wondering how they are going to voters, if they can't find the way around it. they also have the right to do the jersey embarked. what's the meaning of the vote? counting will also face delays, dw corresponded eunice gathering, is in the congo these capital can shasta, i asked him why these elections are so chaotic or yeah, none of this really comes as a surprise video. steve, is this country. it's around, it's because western europe,
11:11 am
so it's really hard to get mature real to all the various provinces. and so this is something which everyone has accepted, the expected that it's going to be different codes, but still the kind of the degree you're also the k u. s as something which still is kind of a surprise to some people that sort of the problems that some areas, especially in the east, it is ongoing fighting as low. so it's difficult to access some of those areas. and apparently they do use, the government said that to get it to the commission, they said, well that they would run the house elections right now and do a close to set that we don't have to let you election, but this would have caused lots of problems with your position, so probably the opposite. let's just push it to no clue. it has a history of disputed elections with some of those ending in violence. how are things shaping up this time?
11:12 am
yeah, exactly. the aspen violence in previous elections, the law selection was actually quite peaceful before us because there was an opposition candidate who was declared to be not even there was some questions about the final results this time. this has yet to be see if the oppositional already has set some of those members of your position have already said that they won't accept visa elections because of all the cases it's going on. so we will see by that the pool will go to the streets where they will be protest until now the whole situation still looks looks quite peaceful. so probably this is rod or something we will need to what child for. once the results come out, you'll just remind us of the significance of these elections. what's at stake here? so now we're talking about the a c video. see it's been sent to africa. it's
11:13 am
a country with 9 neighboring country. so it's really huge. it's really important for the west. it's important in terms ofa. it's role that it's a country which has still good ties with the west. it's within us with the european union, and it's a country with los mineral resources which we need all the. i was like the whole world these for the energy transition. it's a country where we health suits rain, photos to the 2nd largest rain forward of the world. it's very important in terms of climate change. while we always should never forget, it's also about because these people built around 100000000 people living in the do you see and with all those neighbors, it's really strategic place almost in terms of security for the product. reason an african us. thank you very much. that was dw corresponded us getting in control. so here's a look at some of the stories making headlines today as well. and present nicholas
11:14 am
my bureau has welcomed his ally, alex tom, who was fried by the united states and a prisoner deal. so a colombian businessman was arrested in 2020 and accused by the us of money laundering for the venezuelan government. as part of the deal, venezuela released several opposition link to prisoners as well as 10 americans. the flooding triggered by an unexpectedly powerful storm, has left at least one person dead. and another missing in the us. state of main authorities say the clean up in some areas could take weeks. hundreds of thousands of residents remain without power throughout the northeastern united states. so major football narrows now and the european union's top court has ruled that your wife and fif up broke each law in blocking plans for the break away super league in 2021 involving 12 rebel clubs. the ruling does not mean the super li project will be approved,
11:15 am
but it does boost. oops. the court said depot. and you eva had no rights to make any new inter club football projects, subject to their approval. that prior approval will are so loaded and rail madrid have continued to support the idea of breaking away from you. i for despite sanctions from european footballs governing audi in argentina, new economic measures a dental denounced by the president. how the malay have sparked protests in the capital one as iris thousands turned out to march against drastic cuts to public spending plans to sell all state owned enterprises and the valuation of the pay. so they are fighting for workers rights. some say they are fighting for their freedom . fighting against the drastic changes announced by their countries,
11:16 am
new president 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 today. the way the people have the right to demonstrate and live with dignity. a comment that origin 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 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
11:17 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. his recipe, what he called economic shock therapy are us tears. he measures i did massive deregulation of the economy relay has also the value of the argentine pets. so by 50 percent is plans include cutting energy and transportation subsidies and closing some government ministries. the changes come a mid soaring installation and rising poverty and estimated 6000000000 people are killed annually either directly or indirectly by a problem that is growing more critical by the year and t my crow build resistance or am,
11:18 am
or many pathogens can no longer be controlled by the most effective medicines we have for finding them, developing new medicines has become critical. but it's as difficult as ever a n 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 used 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 on to be able to 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 bogs. the w h o has identified priority pathogens among them,
11:19 am
drug resistant clostridium, diff, a seal, which can cause life threatening diarrhea, as well as a drug resistance drain of the bacteria that causes gonorrhea, half a dozen others or even more deadly. if you combine all of those 6 passages and steve responsive over for close to 75 percent of all this attributable to trunk resistant infections in 2019 blood stream infections nimble and pneumonia 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,
11:20 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 not true if alicia in the process and this is accelerates by the misuse and over use of on to my cool deals. become stuff that we can fluid time 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. floor in this and join now by dw science correspondent derek williams. derek, we just heard how pathogens always develop and t, mike ro,
11:21 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 expert, and i mentioned there's the, the miss use and the over use of antibiotics. for instance, if, if you get cove it, it's not gonna 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 and, and intensive livestock, farming that plays a role that they're being used preventively and animals in order to keep them in these farming factories from developing diseases in the 1st place. rather than
11:22 am
treating a disease after it's been developed. so there, there's a lot of moving parts and it's quite accomplish get a 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 and 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,
11:23 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 a new medicines that can get these pathogens under control as well, and it's kind of scary to pull up some statistics, right? now, there are as, as, as we heard about 1300000000 deaths directly attributable to m r pathogens every year. that's, that works out to about 3 and a half 1000 people every day and 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,
11:24 am
for the experts in this particular area is that we can't we could we know what the solution to the problem is. we're just not pursuing it so. okay, very thank you so much. our science correspondent derek williams. thailand's l g b t q. pulse community is hoping that lawmakers will enhance their recognition and rights today. parliament is set to debate a marriage equality bill. the new prime minister has drafted law promising l g b t q couples. the same full rights as heterosexuals. there is also support among the progressive opposition party move forward. this part that agrees on the law. it would then need the final nod from the ty king. and if it passes thailand, would become the 3rd country and asia to legalize same sex marriage to

life out in thailand has one of the most open invisible, gay communities in asia. but activists say this reputation is misleading because the country is known as an institution, still discriminate against l. g p t q plus people. they say this allows for human stadia in all parts of society. previous attempts at posting those of marriage equality were blocked by the full a minute, treat government, but hoops, monks, the gate community will re ignited of the prime minister. se touch was in was elected in august this year on the, his government's proposal. that was man and woman and husband and wife would be replaced with the agenda neutral times individual and spouse in marriage laws. allowing for full equality for all the bills still has
