they hadn't least hadn't come here. move in, i seem to have guns that use donation to being forced from the home. now israel strikes are intensifying and impact areas would meaning would told i'd be sending israel has consumed was responsible for a christmas eve strike on my kazi refugee camp. it's seed it quote, regrets at the home close to uninvolved civilians for the bombing which killed decimals to well meaning is really support the worry fits the rod, growing close for an even to the blood sheet with hundreds of arabs and his rang these rarely i'm to give the intel of these the both people and use the standing. so here we live here to get

as i do believe is a peaceful muslims, jews, christians. this is everybody's the only solution is to recognize that from titled to life. read of the data from the finding them gas that has now passed $21000.00 people, most of them women and children according to the come last run helpful far to so let's take a look now at some of the other stories from around the world. thousands of students have begun a 24 hour blockade in the serbian capital build great protest. this is demanding a refund of this month's parliamentary elections. the oppositional ages. the government could meet the electoral fraud during the vote, which independent of service say, was month buying your banking of ours. germany is on high and low to flooding with

heavy rain full battery. many areas. officials say the situation in the northwest is critical as rivers and streams over flow and in west, in germany, full cost is one, almost a month's worth of rain could full in the next day. europeans are becoming increasingly pessimistic about the economic count. look, a sort of a v you citizens show 7 out of 10. think the standard of living will full in the coming year. but the block has been more resilient than many expected. dw, christine world wide reports from brussels. the lights on twinkling, but for many life indeed, it feels like it's losing its shine. with the inflation, everything goes good, higher like the price of for living in a center. he has like at least 500 bucks. so hard, if i want to get some great food, i know that i have to invest more than i did before. so that's something i'm to be concerned about because i still want to have high standards and statements. foods

definitely feels like the sound of living is getting was i live in the u. k, but we have a lot of friends across europe and we have the same thing from pretty much one of them. and most people don't expect things to improve. and opinion poll earlier this month showed 73 percent of kia pens, think their standard of living will go down in the next year. and 4 in 10 people says 8 in the same polls. say if they sometimes all, most of the time have difficulties paying bills. inflation and high energy price is brought on by the cobit pandemic. and then the war and ukraine has hit household budget. it's hard, but you, we are actually doing better than expected. at some point, governments were planning for power outages and energy rationing to get through a wind. so without rushing gas, while the economy isn't surprising, the worse fee is have less and then the big picture is less bad then was initially thoughts. despite the gloominess,

there is some reason for optimism. wages of growing and inflation is dropping. europe overall is pretty comfortable. part of what makes europe crate is also part of what makes your up challenging, which is it's, it's inertia, you know, people are used to having a certain level of health care and public services. they're not used to changes in that. if you look at european union in, in the, in global, there's not too many notes. so many domains where we are not the one of the top performers. we are one of the most innovative continents. and the world we are a lo fi, continental the very high purchasing a purchasing power. your position as an economic see the power is being tested in the face of crisis. but so far the confidence has showed more resilient than predicted. then your window from our business task is here. we're going to take a closer look at this one more resilient than predicted. we're talking about europe

there. what about europe's biggest economy, john? and he thought, well, germany is still doing well in the ranking of countries in the world of cos and to stick with the mood of christine's report across germany has rec, hold employment. the deck stuck index of top german funds is doing extraordinarily well. and also you have the potential for increased business investment as the interest rates come down spot and it's a very, very big but the economy is struggling. there's no other way of saying that having grown in only 2 of the last 6 quarters, it's very difficult economic in germany, right. so why is germany struggling so much? i mean, it seems to have everything set up for success. well, let's look at all of the things that make up by this buzz. why do you keep hearing g d p? that's the way of measuring economic growth. well, most of the factors that make that up a struggling best stagnant, i mean start off with high energy prices. it's this is affecting households massively. the drug companies removing subsidies, helping household that's going to impact the spending. that also hasn't

a knock on affects energy intensive industries. think of, you know, chemicals and steel feed into other core industries like com, making in germany. so the spending is going to be down. and also the, the demand from just the german products from key markets like china is also struggling. and finally, there's this whole in the budget of court ruling and germany has basically meant that the government's having to dock it spending back all of these fact just make up a g d p. and that's why germany is struggling. what is going to have of a stagnant new? yeah. isn't there a lot germany could do to change the situation? i mean, it is reform good to be one of the ones who go to use it. oh, absolutely. how did you know then? um, well i called and it is, it is good about sweeping aside bureaucracy. it's about making investments in key industries like energy. let's say that's going to be a big factor for germany going into the future. and also addressing challenges which are very, very difficult, like the declining workforce in germany too. and what's happening with the car

industry as well. competition popping up all over the globe. but that's why it's very hard to say that germany is set out for a happy new year. it sounds like you're going to have a tricky new year in 2024. they'll be a lot of reports on that stuff, especially with daniel with a thank you very much for coming in and reporting on that one for us. we have sports news before we go wrap other than that, i will resume his hand for a 23rd tennis grandson told me to let the straighten open next month. the spanish bedford has been sidelined for 11 months with a heap injury, suffered at melvin park last year, who is still a fan favorite and considered a forced to be reckoned with my other prize. but the man himself is trying to tempt expectations for his return at the present international i just had been practicing for the last the month in uh, in uh, in a very good intensity. so, i mean, i, i have done say that, uh and if nothing is impossible but i'd be in for me and just to be here is

a, is a victory. and i hold the my, i want to have the chance to enjoy. and because to, as you've been watching dw use on bands as a one, thanks for watching. i'll see you again tomorrow. feel, gail, we'll have you use next down by the so you don't think and feel the same way you expect and want different things from life. and your parents do, i just want to pursue what sets my swan fire or you think you'll kid is to do.
