was installed, the server is now on 6 talk. the, this is dw news live in from berlin to you and security council adopt a resolution to boost badly needed aid, tick opposite the vote was 13 to 0. the us and russia abstaining. the resolution does not call for a pause and the finding between israel and tomas. also coming up to mann and hear your groups say a quarter of god. this population is starving. that is more than a 1000000 people plus the czech republic in morning after the deadliest mass

shooting and the country's history. police say a student went on a rampage at the university and the capital prod, leaving 14 people dead before killing himself, the fiber and go off. the review was watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin in new york where the un security council has adopted a resolution to boost a deliveries to gaza. russia and the united states abstained on the resolution paving the way for the draft tax to be adopted. the vote was delayed for several days as us diplomats haggled over the wording of the text of today's resolution, notably does not call for a break in defining the un secretary general said the international community needs to do more to reach that goal. you many, 30 and

a ceasefire is the only way to begin to meet the desperate needs of people, even godsa and, and that ongoing nightmare. i hope that today. so can you think also resolution may help the finally to happen, but much more is needed immediately. we're telling me now is michael lane, he's associate professor the faculty of lord western university in london, ontario. he was sent to you last year. are you in special reference here for the human rights situation in the palestinian territories professor? it's good to have you with this. this resolution does not include a call for immediate ceasefire, but rather it calls for creating conditions for a cessation of hostilities. could you help us understand? what does that mean? sure. let's. let's remember that this is a considerably watered down resolution,

excuse me, from, from what was proposed on monday by the united arab emirates. there are 3 aspects of the resolution which, which we saw on monday, which are not in the final version of the voted upon today, including a call for what was in them on monday or urgent in sustainable secession of hostilities, which i think is another word for us to use for we know about a ceasefire resolution was overwhelmingly adopted by the un general assembly uh roughly 10 days ago. and this obviously is the mood of both the diplomatic world and public opinion around the world. what we have a through the use of a friend of you in a us a veto at the security council is a resolution that calls for the a greeting of humanitarian aid to get in to, to guys are the one of the areas where the, the us was negotiating with other countries, had to do with who was going to be the monitor of the

a going in the resolution of the call for the you when to be the exclusive monitor of the a going in. this is what was the president we had with respect a going into syria of the united states objected and it's allowing and the resolution, i think opens the door to israel also joining the possibility of being able to monitor the, the fear among many is that is really, monitoring will be slow, will be laborious and the aid won't be getting in as efficiently as it otherwise could. professor this resolution and calls for things that are already enshrined in international law. i'm thinking of for example, and making it as easy as possible to get a to civilians calling for civilians to be protected. so you could understand someone on the outside may be posing the question. well, what's the purpose of this resolution actually when they want it? well, want to ask that the question the of the language of the resolution that was adopted earlier today remove the language that was in the written re,

original resolution on monday, which would have condemned indiscriminate attacks, stroke every phrase against civilians. that's now gone from the final version of the, of the resolution. this is a bit of an irony given that that word itself was used by president joe biden over the last several weeks with respect to his criticism of a, of these really conduct of military operations. they're all of the resolution really does is re state the importance of a central ity of international humanitarian law with respect to protecting civilians which is already on the books which virtually every country in the world . i've been asking israel to to keep you. so we're really in many ways no further ahead with respect to, i guess, assigning responsibility or it kind of ability to, to israel with respect to how it's conducted this military operations. and guys of the resolution cause for a un coordinator with staff at the border to do what as well.

this is to monitor uh, any aid the going in as to whether or not it may also contain. i'm curious or weapons that unlinked aid from us because we know the a cream shalom crossing in from israel in the gaza, was opened up finally under international pressure by israel. in the last 2 weeks. some aid has been going in there and not enough nearly to, to meet the monitoring needs there. but the a going through there as well as through the roof, a crossing from egypt and the guys a, we'll have monitoring by all parties. i think the resolution says which would include israel, so that it, it can be satisfied that nothing's going in. it's going to 8. i'm us. and i think that was a huge sticking point over the last 4 days. and then the conversations between the americans and the rest of the members on the security council. what about violations of this resolution? are there consequences, or can anyone everyone act with impunity as well?

i'm what i, what worries me in, in the wondering, donald this language we've seen over the last of 4 days and particularly the enormous gap between what the human security council past 10 days ago. sorry, the un general assembly past 10 days ago. and what the security council has passed today is i suppose assignment even an indirect language of responsibility for the humanitarian catastrophe that we're seeing in the in guys and the extraordinary number of deaths of a palestinian civilians. the civilian death told them guys that let's keep in mind, is the highest civilian death told for such a period short period of time. and if for any conflict on the 21st century, we may have to go all the way back to vietnam to be able to measure the amount of civilian deaths in such a short period of time. so there's really nothing in this language which appears to commit israel to uh,

to be more mindful in swap or asians. and israel of course knows that it has the solid backing of the united states with respect to the diplomatic shield. but the united states wheels as a permanent member with a veto power professor like holding. we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you for having me. the risk of famine in garza is increasing by the day that is the grim assessment of a new un backed report. it warns that more than a quarter of guns as population. so half a 1000000 people are starving signs of starvation and not hard to find in gaza. here in ross the crowds, jo sophie, was little food is available. the dispute is evident of the little less that this wall brought to a number of the level of humiliation which we struggle so much the just to provide

lunch. life has become so expensive. we do not eat, drink, or sleep properly and nothing is available. one of the agent who lives you much more who are united nations backed reports, these move in 90 percent of people in gaza facing crisis levels of hunger critical situation. and it is rails, with nameless bombardment, in response to the october stevens from us, tara attacks. you in agencies say golf sounds like using just team percent of the food deliveries. they would usually receive. people struggle to find water medicine and fuel. what is happening, garza is unprecedented both in terms of its scale, but also how quickly it is happening. you know, in the world right now there are about 130000 people who are in catastrophic levels of hunger,

meaning their star was in gaza. more than half a 1000000, that is 4 times more. that is what makes this totally unprecedented. israel did briefly allow aid through its kareem shalom crossing into a gauze of this week. but it is really it strikes that hit the palestinian side, forced you in stuff to stop it's pick ups the you can still award this, but we need to make sure that people have food. people have water, they have shelter, they have sanitation. and for all of those things to happen, we need water crossings open. so these commodities can commit to growing desperation for food also means that the limited supplies that do make it into guys that are often seized upon before being handed out in the u. n. c's,

it's not just access to a that is vital, but also it's safe distribution across the strip. without it, they won the risk of semen and gaza is increasing every day. is staying because i spoke earlier with martin ranch, he's a spokesperson for the world food program here in berlin, grieving our staff off like everyone else and got affected by this catastrophic situation. i mean, this report, that's where this shown basically confirmed. so worst fee is $1.00 and $4.00 households are confronted with catastrophic hunger. that's almost 600000 people on this highest cause a ray of hunger. and that's 4 times more than in the rest of the world combined. and that's a staggering number. and behind those numbers are basically households that skipped the entire meals for out of 5 households in the northern part of gaza. i'm go

without food for entire days and nights and many children. i do not have. i do not have enough to eat and parents, i try to say food for them. and is that totally desperate in dire situation? and that's now backed up by numbers in martin the united nations security council. this very moment is voting on a resolution for god's or that would call for getting more aid into the territory. at the same time, it will not call for any type of humanitarian pause in the fighting. how does that work for your people on the ground as well? cause such to um increased uh no. well basically, um the resolution would be well come because people in gaza desperately need more aid to come in, people surviving on the bare minimum. and that's why every pounds but,

but make no mistake to you in a terry insistent inside gauze as on the brink of combat collapse or needs to be re established to reach people inside cause or wherever they are suffering. and that's, that requires not only trucks to go in, but also it needs to be decided, needs to flow within garza and we have to move where you have to be able to move safe to, to reach people where they are. and at the moment, no one is safe inside cause i'm not civilians, not humanitarians. and only a humanitarian sees fire can actually, um, you know, deliver on having safe access and re establishing that system over it that is desperately needed and more into this resolution. it also calls for the korean shuttle border opening up to be utilized for, for speedy access of more aid. and what kind of impact is that going to have for your team? that is definitely a glimmer of how, you know, a few days of

w. p convoy and use that crossing to get 700 metric tons of food into gov. about that axis needs to be sustained because needs are mass of and as we've just heard the on any scale or comparison and i know that people are wondering. we've seen, you know, pictures just in the last week of people running basically jumping on top of aids trucks as they've been coming in to the territory with so many displays people crammed into the space around the rafa. border crossing. how difficult is the logistical challenge of distributing food? i mean, w p still provides food truly was a number of people every day. but there's not enough food for everyone, nor do we reach everyone across the strip. um and that's, that's a huge issue. it's not safe for civilians in god and it's not safe to deliver. all

right to the people in gaza for the humanitarians on the ground for our staff on the ground who are basically living within this, within this crisis. and we simply at the moment, as it stands now, as we speak, we cannot do our job properly. and that is why we need more crossings to be open. we need a h coming in, including commercial aid, and we need a last thing. finally, we need a lasting ceasefire so that we can, you know, get the a to end up people sol desperately need at the moment and to actually prevent that settlement that is looming. yeah, that's fine. time is definitely of the essence here. martin ranch with the world food program here in berlin. martin, we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you to, let's take a look. now some of the other headlines this, our families from the ice landing town of grinda. they are being allowed home to retrieve belongings, but authorities say it's still too dangerous for them to return full time. the tiny

fishing town was evacuated after a nearby volcano where ruptured on mondays viewing lava and smoke. more than a 100 meters into the sky street. in the german city of hamburg had been some birds following a river surge calls by a storm named as old town. it caused the strong winds and heavy rage across northern europe. real travelers faced disruption as the storm forced the cancellation of numerous trains ahead of the christmas holiday. air travel has also been effect people in congo are waiting for the 1st results from chaotic collections that were marked by delays and malfunctioning equipment. the presidential and legislative elections were extended by a day following a fluid, logistical problems that prevented some holding stations promotionally. there were also problems registering voters and reports of violence. electrical committee extension prompted some opposition. candidates decry fail, saying the logistical hurdles could effect the credibility of the results. the r c

is africa, the 2nd largest country. it is among the worlds chorused, despite its vast reserves of copper cobalt and go to an outbreak of protest to control and join. now by our corresponding yona squared again, kinshasa, you're honest, it's good to have you with us. this election was we said it, it was chaotic. what went wrong? i mean, none of this come game is a big surprise because of the countries with you possibly countries as big as western europe. so it's really hard to get the voting material to the various parts of the country. but the degree of the chaos was something that really stuck people by surprise. and apparently the government said that what the selector, the commission said that it's better to push through with the elections instead of risking at delayed, i'm being go for the opposition. the election commission has been haven't been criticized for being unable to organize a proper boat. so how credible will this election be to

yeah, so this election definitely looks very credit, credible to outside this. but we also need to buy mean we need to take in mind, but people who are not able to vote at the 1st date. so there's some kinds of sense to that. you said we give them some more time so that they have the possibility to vote at a 2nd. a things got a little bit tricky because there, but even people voting today on the 3rd day, even though director commission said that the an extra extra vote is already finished. and so there's going to be lots of debates how, but you like to the commission to some institution, which has always been a related to, to problems. we have always been discussions about manipulations with reasonable elections. so for the official that's students a situation where would you say it to see what the results will be with that we'd

be irregularities and delivering guess what? the thoughts of the things that you have to be seen in your orders. let's look at the progress the country has made the 2018 election led to condos 1st peaceful, democratic transition of power. so how is the state of democracy in the d r c tonight or yeah, so the last elections are deceased as the 1st, like peaceful transition of power as before, because before they, they always have been problems with violence. so people got you power by, by military activities by coming presidents. so this is something which was a good thing last time. but we shouldn't confuse this with democratic terms because last time there, well, lots of data available would show that the final results were actually manipulated . and so this selection seemed to be very chaotic. part of the same time for the

security of incoming president is leading the poles, me before the election, and just to charge us to get re elected this time. and maybe this going to be more democratic than the previous months. it is a less broad, this picture for a moment. why is this election so important for the region and for the rest of the cotton? it did, you see has 9 neighboring countries. so it's, it's the but it is really crucial for the continental. this issue, we have strategic minute roads in the country which the very important for the energy and that you turn the vision for the entire world. it has the 2nd largest rain forest in the world, which is g for the keeping the climate in control. but we shouldn't forget that 100000000 people living in the country and they have rights for the some lives database. your us getting with the least tonight on those

elections and the d. r. c from kinshasa. you want to thank you to go back to your europe. authorities in the czech republic are searching for a motive after the country's worst, ever. massive shooting. on thursday of 24 year old gunmen shot dead 14 people at charles university and the capital. proc police say he then turned the gun on himself. authorities say there is no link to terrorism. the country has declared saturday a day of national morning police in prague share body cam footage. piecing together scenes from the countries dudley shooting and decades. just 5 minutes in police say, these officers arrive at the university. searching for the gunman on the loose, they climb up. the disadvantage at that point was that there was no sound of gunfire. so the officers had to actively

search for the perpetrator. during the information we got about the paper tray, these movements was that he was supposed to be somewhere on the top of floors. as more officers deployed and got closer, they said the shooter committed suicide. bringing the situation under control after some 30 minutes of frantic horror. the next day of the site, the site of the massacre and progress historic center its day of morning. the check prime minister is among hundreds who visited the make shift memorial to pay tribute . many are still in shock the gym, so i feel strange bad, horrible because i am electrician fee as a faculty and we were experiencing very strongly what was going on and the faculty

of so so it does, hara, i cannot even spend the let's see. i mean, any of it is not a pleasant feeling to walk on the street and think about what happened to someone who came to school. absolutely carefree. thinking about christmas coming in 2 days . i'd like to do that about me. so a lot of the incident has left many, overwhelmed with a somber mood just before the holidays. earlier i spoke to journalist in willoughby in prague, and i asked him how the czech republic is coming to terms with this tragedy? well, there's a very somber mood here in the czech republic. this evening. flags are a house mast, as we saw on some of those images kind of in formula spontaneous memorial to the victims of yesterday's mass using us for an up in pride. people have been stopping by their lives in candles lane, flowers at this bus. just a short distance from the bottom of west as the square has been a real up for in greece here in the czech republic,

including on social media. where during the day, more and more names of the victims of yesterday's mouse chewed, things has been coming as yet. what more do we know about the government in? and i will ask you, i mean, do we know anything more today than we did yesterday about a possible motive? i know more about moses, but what was confirmed a couple of hours ago is that a gun that was found at this young man's phone had been used a week previously. and another tribal crime, a double murder in which a man walking his child in the woodland area near broad with shot dead. and so was the child of a 2 month old baby girl shot dead in her prime. and that crime horrified people here in the trips of it. it had been dominating news for the whole week until yesterday's travel events, an hour transfers that evidently these 2 crimes were connected by the same tutor.

and, and we know that here in europe can in comparison, the czech republic is very liberal gun laws. do you think there will be any moves to restrict access to fire arms after what has happened? well, there are a lot of guns in the truck public, something like 300000 legally have guns exist in this country in a population with a population of less than 11000000 people. so far though, i haven't seen so much debate about whether access to weapons should be restricted . um, what happened yesterday was very much a one off event. the check leaders have been betraying the savings as a kind of a deranged individual. the debates on the access to guns may hold up, but for now there's more more discussion about security and security i checked schools and universities. that's something that people are focusing on right now.
