americans, controversial finance minister and ukraine's air defense systems training under continued russian strikes. this is ukraine punches back against moscow's navy in the black sea, with a tank or a key russian warship. the hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. israel's army chief, has a levy, has warrant that the war with him us will last for quote, many more months in a televised address to levy said, israel is fighting in a complex environment with no magical solutions or short cuts. the remarks come as the israeli military intensifies operations in the gaza strip or the death toll is approaching $21000.00. the own identified human corpses wrapped up, lined up and laid to rest in the mass grave. it's become

a common sight in gaza. demoss run health ministry claims that is really forces returned to the bodies after 1st taking them for more eggs and graves to check. there were no hostages among them. israel says it is now fighting on multiple fronts. not just inside garza, this footage reportedly shows the downing of the quote hostile drone bind is really fighter jet over the red sea eroni and back to the rebels. and yemen claimed responsibility for the drones which attacks me is really port city of a lot as well as cargo vessels in the areas. in the many who the armed forces confirmed the continuation of their operations in the red sea. and the arabian sea against israeli ships, or those heading to the ports of occupied power, started up as international pressure mounts on his real prime minister. benjamin netanyahu outlined 3 prerequisites for peace. in an article for the wall street

journal, the destruction of from us, the demilitarization of gauze and the de radicalization of palestinian society. his words are the closest yet to attend jubal vision for an end to the war. but with increased attacks from hezbollah, from the north and the who with these from the south, the conflict appears to keep on escalating. united nations has repeatedly warned of an increasingly dire humanitarian situation in the war torn gaza strip. now the un has a pointer, the humanitarian coordinator to boost aid to the territory following a security council resolution secret cause, a former dutch deputy premier and mid east expert will begin her role as senior, who monetary and reconstruction coordinator for gaza in january or task will be to coordinate, monitor and verify humanitarian relief, deliberate. since israel began and seizure gaza, its over 2000000 residents have faced severe shortages of water, food, fuel,

and medicine. no h u a. and for more on this we can talk to autism. ah, how deep she is. headed advocacy, communications and media at the norwegian refugee council and joins us from sydney . but thanks for being with us so much. what can we expect from the u. n's new relief coordinator for goza? how much can she do to improve the humanitarian situation? there says the establishment of this coordinator role is welcome, but i think that her powers around this will be limited. she has to have the supports of course of israel, and she will face difficulties and, and problems and challenges in doing this role of the this is why we're urging all parties to the conflict and space to support her to urgently scale of 88 needs

to increase to support the desperate population in gossip. and i think the priorities would include increasing fuel to support hospitals. bakeries, water pumps, but also allowing commercial goods to enter gaza to restore the markets, to support the solving population. but the only real meaningful way to scale up age is to have a ceasefire in place because 8 workers cannot operate under the current conditions . they cannot do their jobs effectively and safely whilst being phones and showed on an ongoing basis. and so that's why we support the un secretary general's cool. so the need for an urgent ceasefire, which is crucial to scaling up aid right now. you mentioned hunger in the, in the gaza strip or according to the you at a quarter of the population in gaza. is starving, how much

a is being delivered to the territory of the moment. it's the 8 that's being delivered at the moment is still minimal. it's not enough. it's nowhere near enough to meet the dia needs. we're seeing across garza and now with the reports indicating that there is a high risk of funding in gaza. we urgently need a to be scaled up. but i think that it also points to the way in which is role is using starvation as a weapon of the war of hello of this war, which is prohibited on the international law. and we have yet to see any real condemnation from government allies of israel on the way that it's using starvation . and if this is leading to a catastrophic situation on the ground, west civilians are not only being boned to death, but are now being starved as well. and so this needs to end the needs to be can

then talk to us about this placement. you work for a refugee council. nearly 2000000 people have been displaced within gaza already during this conflict. what, what will happen with guys is population. if there's more drags on for months, what we see here is that which is now israel as further expansion of its ground operation in southern gaza that more and more people will be driven out of gauze and pushed towards the border of egypt and will be pushed to move across the board is to seek a safety from the atrocities taking place in gauze. israel continued bombard and unimed cj. it's widespread disruption. acosta has made garza and livable, and this is forcing people to, to move towards tiny pockets in the south. where safety is also not

guaranteed. what's also worrying is done. most recently the is ready, prime minister has made comments suggesting that he would facilitate the migration and transfer all palestinians from gaza. and this raises the risks of a forcible displacement and forcible transfer of the population from gaza, which would be a serious breach of international law. and the natural city crime. any attempt spike is relative to ports or permanently displace palestinians from gaza must be prevented and condemned selma. thank you very much for talking with us. that was some of the deed had of advocacy communications and media other no, we didn't. refugee counsel the former head of the german parliament, both gunk, sharp law, has died. the cd politician 1st entered, but as the bonus to august 1972,

between 19892017 mister shaw of the service administered for the interior and finance. under chancellor's helmet, coal and uncle, a medical. he was known internationally for backing austerity measures on germany and the rest of the e. u. during the euro crisis in $2009.10 an attack in 1990. he's been using, he had been using a wheelchair dw as chief political correspondent, nina has a join just now for more neither tell us more about how was, gosh, why bush shaped german politics slip. i think it's not exaggerated to say, the voice comes hard, this dest truly marks the end of an era in german politics. first, i'm sorry, beheld all the important jobs. so you can have within german politics, with the exception of tons, learn german president. but he was potted group leader of the cd. you the conservatives party leader. he was also a member of several government cabinets on the chancellors court and mac

o as interior minister and data. as finance minister for many years, he became a politician of the young age and to bonus tag the german parliament for the 1st time. well then, 50 years ago and was a member unto his desk and he was the longest serving member of parliament. he was also the president of the parliament for 4 years until 2021. that is the 2nd most important role within the german state. so both sides was definitely leaving a very big legacy here in germany because he was an influential positions during occlusal periods. and all those decades. so he was seeing as belonging to the more conservative wing of his policy. he but he was respected across the board also by political opponents right until the end. but he was also not uncontroversial especially abroad. so with so many accomplishments to his name was short, but most likely to be remembered for nina. i think the 1st thing

internationally that people associated with a name was grounds hoping to is that he was probably the ok, a type of a german fine on some of this stuff. he held that post for ages in that crucial period for the euro zone. so that group of countries that's had to call the car and see the euro from 2009 to 2017. he's doing the 1st strict public finance policies involved in spending with not too much debts and the euro zone prizes in the is from 22910 onwards. so i'm labeled as mr. austerity and he became a much known and disliked figure in greece. of a whole and he insisted on the status of programs in southern european countries, arguing that it was necessary to keep greece and others in coming zone. and the 2nd thing he will be most remembered for abroad is his role in german reunification after the collapse of the soviet union. because in his position is interior. minnesota. in that time he was the main figure for western germany to negotiate the reunification treaty. you know,

big cities. um, uh, all those odessa is sometimes still in focus and some other cities where the russians presume the defense might not be as strong as here in keys. so it, it, it looks a little bit like, uh, the use of these drones has changed somewhat us that was mathias building and speaking to us just a short while ago before we go, just to look at a couple of other stories making headlines today. japan's nuclear power regulator has lifted and operational ban on the world's largest nuclear power plant. this clears the path for to restart the ban on japan's kashi was ocoee korean plant was imposed 2 years ago due to safety breaches. the plants has been offline since around the focusing the disaster in 2011. so create an accurate lead son killed that has died at the age of $48.00. his body was discovered by police in the car at a parking, so lead became internationally famous for his oscar winning role in the blockbuster
