of the this is dw, and use life from bull and the un security council adults, a resolution to boost to much needed aids to gossip about was fetching to 0 with the us and drug shop staining. the resolution does not call for a pause and the fighting between israel and thomas also coming up, shoot monitoring group, say a quarter of thousands of population stopping. that's more than a 1000000 people on to vote. counting is underway and the democratic republic of congo, so far, the incumbent president looks favored,

at least among voters who left a broad band pallets has been counted. fence the monica jones good. have you with us? we begin in new york, where the un security council has adopted a resolution to boost 8 deliveries to the gaza strip. russia and the united states decided to abstain from friday's mode, rather than use the veto powers of the days of wrangling over the text. the resolution does not call for an immediate cease file. the after repeated delays and intense negotiations, the un security council passes the resolution to increase a to civilians trapped and gather the water down. resolution does not demand an end to fighting, but it does call for the creation of conditionals for a sustainable suspicion that the possibilities of the un chief says

a halt and fighting is what's needed. and success should not be measured by the number of trucks allowed in the gaza. please. a humanitarian ceasefire is the only way to begin to meet the desperate needs of people, even godsa and in their ongoing nights mass. i hope that today is security policy resolution may help the finally to happen, but much more is needed immediately. as benjamin echoed by the palestinian representative to the un resident. this resolution is a step in the right direction. it must be implemented and must be accompanied by massive pressure for an immediate cease fire. i repeat immediate seized by a but the us says the adoption of the resolution will go a long way to ease suffering. but today this council provided

a glimmer of hope amongst a sea of unimaginable suffering. today this council called for urgent steps to immediately allow safe and hindered and expanded humanitarian access and to create the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities. the vote comes as a new un reports as more than a quarter of those still trapped and gas are facing extreme hunger and a growing risk of famine. thank you mister president. so what does this resolution deliver? we put that question to delta use, janelle demand on the most important thing to realize about this resolution. as we have been saying, is that it is not a call to a cease fire. rather it is a call to on hindered humanitarian access. and the creation of sustainable the create the creation of conditions towards a sustainable cessation of hostilities. so several steps before the cessation of

hostilities itself, if you want. now it also calls on the un secretary general to a point, a coordinator that is in charge of monitoring and facilitating aid to gauze. 7 so essentially this is a resolution that is aimed at scaling of age, gaza, and also protecting the humanitarian workers that are tasked with delivering that aid. but of course, the obvious criticism surrounding this resolution now is that it is very difficult to deliver a humanitarian aid up to speed and volume that is needed for the people of gauze in the face of ongoing hostilities, which again this resolution does not stop w's. janelle, doing my own reporting from washing the ongoing sizing between israel and hamas and gaza has all but cancels christmas and the is really occupied. westbank, the palestinian city of bethlehem is taking a particularly hot economic hits. the biblical best plays of jesus is usually

and visit and stay here for days and celebrate with us the christmas. usually people from own over the world, extended 9 to visit the secret spot and the crowd to read this belief that jesus was born. and just outside the church on maine to square the use of decorations, lights, and music. also absent to just do a snap. there's no festive atmosphere, there are no people. no one feels like celebrating because of the war. and what's happening to people in gossip mode for they always pray for peace me from jesus is perfectly so many in the city has high hopes for the christmas season. the impact has been hard, as opposed by the businesses that depend on tourism. like here in this shop, sending religious ornaments distorted. we have almost 25 families working with us,

all the carving wood carvings. they are living there depending on feeling. it is not just me, my brother, my father. back at the church compound sizes army, the roman catholic parish priest prepares for christmas despite the m t. i of, we need a christmas. we need said a bit thing inside the churches. we need the christmas. we need to continue to us, got to give us peace and to give us his, uh, uh, his uh, his happiness. and now what have so we can resist this situation. a message which is more important than ever. and here's a look now at some of the headlines, mexico is promising to step up efforts to tackle a regular migration. the pledge comes ahead of a high level us visit next week. the bible of ministration is under pressure to make major changes to immigration policy. i'm at

so this is something which has called cause of confusion. and this is something which of these depths to be clear, but this was a torch of the go. but the question was much more about the kinetic k or take circumstances during the voting day. and the fact that many people didn't have the opportunity to you to vote because of this. and also because of the conflicts that we have in the east of the country, many people weren't able to register at all. so the road and for this reason, this is a situation which is causing problems. so for instance, if it's me, i'm how concerned to all people there about a political instability. if the results, if once there is one, is called into question. yeah, so the major opposition parties, they have already said that they don't accept these. um that the vote at all, we still need to see what did we say when the find the results come out?

the question is, how would they find that the react? so what's for sure that they will go for the they will try like the new grade? probably they will go to the constitutional court and try to do to check why the elections were legally at all. they might also try and mobilize their supporters and organize rallies in contrast to and then the other major a provinces. but it's a little bit difficult to say almost this bill. you both. i mean, this will depend on the find the resides. and also what the observers like the observing mission of the church, for example of what they would say about potentially richard them, right? dw, so you'll know scanning reporting for us from kinshasa. you don't us thank you so much. sure to visit the it's both the ivory coast is preparing to
