would being effectively uncontested. the tickets were for in the most of the between the 2 main parties overshadow their election, dw, so bad off batteries in downtown, has the opposition boy called affected turnouts. one of those? yes, it certainly has to be a few minutes ago. the electric connection commissioner, because you have the water, he has declared that the total turn out is around 40 percent. what he told us earlier, one hour before the election and the 4 bolts being closed. it was during the 7 person there around 27 percent. now it's 40 percent, however, the, from the election commission and also from the ruling party, the anticipation was they would. and they were expecting that the 50 percent turn

out of the debt and in bangladesh in, in, in an, in i do situation. uh well, when all the parties taking, taking part in this, in, in an action, a 70 person for thing turned out is the number. so in that sense, actually the uh, the, the, the white card from the opposition has effected the boarding, turned out ends up being, but we will be there, we are still waiting for the final, the final, the exact turnout results that will be declared from the election function okay, if this ends up being a, uh, a senior victory, what would that mean for bangladesh? uh the uh for her support is of golf course. obviously it's a, it's a big thing like they will, they are, they are really happy that if, if she is being connected again and being mean for the opposition, of course they are rejecting the results. they say that they don't want to legitimize this election where they didn't take part, but for the local, the,

for the, for the both those general people, me. so there are 2 main concerns. one is the, uh huh. price hikes, the comedy, the prices that are being i that are being getting higher and higher for the last 2 years. and uh secondly, done on an environmental democratic freedom, which many of them, which i have talked to on. i have talked to said that this election is not a 100 percent according okay, we'll leave it there as well back. but in talk com. jordan's king abdullah has called on us extra fee of state hands to make lincoln to put pressure on as well for an immediate cease fire and guns that the $2.00 held talks in a jordanian capital. on. on sunday, the meeting is part of the u. s. initiated diplomatic tool and it coming tension is correspond to conflict blinking also towards a food distribution center. and i'm on before traveling onto content visit as well

. the occupied westbank as well as egypt and saudi arabia. before wrapping up his week long diplomatic books, us secretary of state and need lincoln's week long with a stop to is aimed at coming tensions to, to spike in israel as well with a mass begun. this is not just to work a day diplomacy that a genuine consent to come for that course is already escalating. we have an incense focus on preventing this conflict from spreading far too many houses have been killed. especially children. far too many remain incredibly challenged in terms of their access to food for water, the medicine to the essentials of life. as the wheels of diplomacy turn in gaza, that's the new laptop in the past 3 months is really strikes clay more lives, food and medicine, increasing these gas. i didn't tie in neighborhoods the reduced to level the u. n.

c. monetary and she said, gaza has quote, some people come uninhabitable, but he's well said that he is making progress so frustrated as he might at the end of fee and send it to him and fighting. we have what is meant to the mass military framework, inter ballier for move gun, the customer to them. we shall continue to deepen our achievements in these areas. it takes time, there are no short cuts in the war on terror seem of approval. and the risk of escalation is what concerns diplomats the most in particular, the border between is well and 11 on this lady and has the law forces been exchanging shells almost daily since october 7 earlier this week struck him by route that killed senior. i'm actually to sell it every in flight intentions. even side of the. meanwhile, inside is vile 7. now,

regular antique government protest demonstrates is increasingly dissatisfied with the government's handling of the war and the slight progress in getting the hostages returned. some even calling for the prime minister and his government to step down. the hope is that this increased session that domestically and internationally can help produce a much needed break through the u. n. is wanting of public health disaster with the delivery of buying supplies that only a trickle blinking has cold for a to be scaled up. that's bringing test ingram from yusef. the un children's fun. what's the use of scaling up age when it can't get into the people of cancer? well, there's a double challenge, then it's a matter of getting the idea and then, and then getting into across because the strip. so we need to scale up i, we need to get in this as quickly as possible, and then we need to tackle some of the challenges that we face in getting it to the

children and families who need it the most. but that is absolutely critical. so the cold, the scale it up is, is, will very well welcome to test this one spot in the gaza strip in the very south. and it is the only spot where aid is getting in the boat to egypt. is there any hope of things getting better? there's been talk of the errors crossing in the north being open for example, to quit calling for oil existing pressings into the gaza strip that were, were operating before the escalation hostilities to be reopened. one of those crossings trim shalom has been opening for, for some days, but, but as you say, there are others that could be opened. and we really need access from as many possible routes that are proven in order for us to get more idea. and because at the moment, we're only getting, you know, a 100, a 150 trucks to day and before the installation facilities of his 500. so the need

is going references and the aid is dwindled. so it's, it's really a, a very tragic situation for children and families on the ground. the counselor was going to say that a net needs to get to so many children who over proportionately affected in this war. tell us more about the situation for them to make up about half of the population of god. just as you say, that they disproportionately affected by these conflict is no safe space for a child in gaza at my brother's phone's folding from the and says these, looking around every corner, as we just heard in your report, there's no food. notice that was a no show to their parents and families are really just exhausted by the sheer exhaustion of trying to survive every day where we're hearing accounts from families and children on the ground that they often go days without eating. and when they do, it's just a, you know, small amount of bread. so the situation in terms of food is,

is incredibly difficult and with worried in the coming weeks of the very real risk of what spread 7. and for the kids who do manage to survive this onslaught, what, what sort of future is for them? how, how, why to you about the long term effects of this more on them a it's a strategy beyond anyone's wildest imagination. i think one of the things that where unit a trying to prepare for and get a handle, these belong to a mental health impacts. obviously these children will have many of them physical scars from this conflict. but others will have lost family. they will have lost their home and enjoyed a ongoing fee a to so for days and for weeks throughout these facilities. so as you know, so if we're not just then delivering aid, we're also providing support services to some of these children to make the weather out and held them,

process some of those emotions to try and reduce the long term impact of the trauma trauma that they're experiencing at the moment, the situation though is dependent on diplomacy that's going on around the region at the moment and so many different players, but who is to blame for things? not having changed. i mean from day one with 3 months into this war. and the situation hasn't changed. it really? it is. um, i'm the father of a little bit. we're allowing this as a global community to continue unit stuff has been calling for weeks now. full and immediate, and long lasting humanitarians. they expire because we talk about aid and the changes that need to happen to get more in and that's important, but to say, so i really is the only way that we're going to be able to deliver enough. i to meet the need is around the other to the children and families that need it. and ultimately for the sizing to stop. because most people that we speak to in guys are

at the moment just urging us frontier to do whatever we can to end the fighting. as a humanitarian aid agency, we can add the kite to tool potties then to all of the conceptual community to do. but everybody can to try and in the funding, but ultimately needs needs to come from outside. i got it from you and assess test ingram. thank you very much for taking the time out today to speak to us here on the w news. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. rescue workers in japan have pulled a woman in her nineties from the rubble of a collapsed house olden 5 days. after a deadly ghost, quite safe to trap. she was quickly taken to hospital. the extent of her injuries is unclear. holding 200 people are still missing off to the quite strong depends west coast. on january, 1st, thousands have been left without shelter after a fight tore through a range of refugee camping bangladesh. well then,
