the, the, this is the w news. why from berlin, fears of a new is really offensive in southern garza agencies, one of a catastrophic situation involved the cd that's become the last refuge for huge numbers of displaced palestinians and count down to the super bowl. will kansas city or san francisco trials in america's biggest sporting events? or could the real winner be taylor swift? the readings dropped viewers around the world. unlike local agencies and arab leaders

or warning of a blooming catastrophe in israel's planned offensive against rafa in southern gaza . prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered civilians to leave before they are sold against. more than a 1000000 displays, palestinians are sheltering in the city as israel battles of mos which main the country is classified as a tear organization. the palestinians, more than the dead. in rough uh outside one of the last, partially functional hospitals, inside the gaza strip. according to the home us run health ministry, more than $28000.00 palestinians have been killed since the fighting started 4 months ago. is really airstrikes panel the southern border city of rafa ahead of an expected ground defensive on the densely crowded city which has become a last refuge for displaced palestinians fleeing fighting further north. an estimated 1400000 people are sheltering and rough us. many of them and make shift

tens, finding enough food, water and fuel is a daily struggle. they say they have nowhere left to go to the mount. hello uh, in the ones that, uh, this is the last sites uh below that they told us that wrapped it would be saved from military operations as long as it had this small cut on. and now they were saying an operation is to take place here with the home and we are supposed to leave for the account already. and the store has nothing. you know, of course we're doing some, you know, statements about the evacuation of a residents from dropbox for milledgeville operation. we came from guys, i say to you, we don't know, it will go, you know, her. and if we leave here, wherever we go with our children, women and wanted to come on, the us has warrant israel, an invasion of ross, that would be a disaster. a groups say it's impossible to evacuate everyone from the city. the

e u and the un are also expressing alarm israel's plans to evacuate rasa in order to root out some ass militants. it says a hold up there. the office of the coordination of humanitarian affairs, say the unprecedented density of rough as population make it nearly impossible to protect civilians in the event of ground attacks. oh, just as a congestion in rough, i has reached a point where normal routes are blocked by tents. set up by families seeking any flat clean surface available is really troops are pressing deeper into one eunice. smoke can be seen, billowing over the city, located less than 16 kilometers away. rasa is the last major population center in the gaza strip. is rarely troops have yet to enter. it's also the main point of entry for desperately needed for lead supplies. its someone id of the norwegian refugee council told me and is rarely ground offensive in rafa would have dire

consequences for the distribution of a well, what we're hearing from oust off on the ground in enough is that the conditions are already dire. with seeing widespread diseases even start ation amongst the population. so any full scale military operation from israel would lead to catastrophic situations and really would lead to the collapse of the 8 system because a lot of the aid is being distributed uh from the area off it off. and we also have the crossing where aid is, is entering into gaza. so it would be a catastrophic situation. and an expansion of facilities could also turn it into a zone of blood should then lead to a most civilian depths and casualties. and this must be prevented on moving costs. i want to take a little deeper into those hostilities. these really prime minister is asking the

army to draw up evacuation plans. but any idea where these people can or will likely go of the very few options, less people to seek safety in gaza. nowhere is safe anymore. over 1000000 people fled to gossen with moved into gaza on the basis around the roof on the basis that it was a safe zone. and people there are kind of king and are really scared about what is to come, because there are no options left to them to seek safety. it's unrealistic, it's also in humane to make people flee once again on the boom, barman's and into areas that a not safe. so we're pleading with the international community with allies of the is really government to stop this from happening to prevent this beloved off. uh

that will occur if the is really a military operation in dropbox does move ahead. let's be frank, a many and videos like yours, i'm afraid to say, appear to have little leverage on what these really military will actually do. many in g o's have asked for a cease fire, but these really prime minister has made it fairly clear that's unlikely. how is your organization preparing for this massive movement or of people or this offensive, or both? um, is there a plan as well? like oh, a to agencies? uh we do prepare uh for the delivery of aid and large saving assistance with the bombardment or in a situations of a humanitarian pause. that it cannot be delivered safely to people in

need of humanitarian assistance. i'm out, aid workers cannot work safely on the environment. and this is why we've been pleading with israel and the international community to support a ceasefire because this is vital for scaling of 8 and for saving lives. it to be on time. the. so the action is taken by allies of because really government, including the u. k, u. s, and german governments to put pressure on israel to support a ceasefire. this is crucial now, especially as we have this new main military offensive in dropbox that will lead to more bloodshed sound data from the norwegian refugee cancel. thank you so much for your time. here's a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. humans who is the rebel, the luxury has held funerals for 17 of its fighters killed and us and british air

las vegas is putting on the biggest event in us sports. this year's super bowl pits teams from san francisco and kansas city against each other for american football's championship. but the clash will feature another form, little force in the form of taylor swift. she's been attracting global attention onto this uniquely american event. and the pop superstar isn't even storing in the half time show. in the metropolis once known as sin city, the biggest sin heading into sunday evening super bowl is not knowing that this guy number 87 is the boyfriend of taylor swift. number 87 has a name, travis kelsey star in american football terms for the kansas city chiefs and a star for answering repeated questions about his loved life. why do you think everyone so fascinated with you to? and i think the values that we stand for and just, you know, who we are as people. kelsey support extends to taylor swift fans swift. these half

a world away. tokyo hosted the last to for sold out concerts saturday evening. all right, well what i'm, what do we haven't really watched american football until now? but because taylor boyfriend place finally watched it, he did the question on so many lips after this last gig in tokyo will a private plane get her back in time to as she has in the past, joined other players, girlfriends, wives, and family for the game. she should make it, and that's good news, even for those who don't count themselves. as with these, she will be in the house, the building for the super bowl. but i mean, i think her, it's, and they will bring a new i to the squared. i think there will be a lot of women who will probably shift their attention to football. we should all be so lucky that we have a significant other one to support us in our job. right. the super bowl hardly needs to be additional tight offered by

a pop culture romance. but since city las vegas isn't about to turn away from the attention run. so you're saying video is a pop culture commentator from washington dc. i asked him who is the biggest winner in this love affair, the nfl or taylor swift? the biggest winner by far the us, which has generated over $330000000.00 in bad value since she started 10 the games last fall. and so definitely, i think you, if we, if we're, if we're trying to, you know, the numerate by far the nfl is, is, is winning the most september 24th 2023 was the biggest day for transactions across all 32 franchises. and that was the 1st day to receive the attended the game that was televised. so i mean the to suit effect is real and i'm sure that they all just left to the bank right now. the goodness, gracious i, i want to talk about conspiracy theories. there are allegations the fix is in

for a chief victory. swift boyfriend, of course, travis kelsey plays for the cheese and the ledge purpose to somehow tip the scale of the upcoming election in favor of incumbent president joe biden, to the detriment of donald trump. can you explain what in heaven's name is this all about? i don't think there's enough time of the segue to fully explain. i'll just see that that's a conspiracy with that that started in the nether regions of the internet. and i think people, i think the starting demographics on the right wing of american politics. they have had a weird state imperiously since the ends in this 2009 when we call you west. and so when she expose as little as having progressive politics, i think there's been a lot of just disappointment and i think they're better about it. and this is just their way of acting out and reacting. and so yes, i don't think it's something that you should take seriously. and of course there's still some football to play. who do you like a little bit just

a cheese. i don't know. i'll be boring. kansas city chase that runs a a same video in washington, many manufacture billions of people or marketing the beginning of the lunar new year. it's an especially important holiday in chinese culture, dw. so if you be calm reports now from the temple in hong kong, which is a popular spot for people in the city to mark the start of a new calendar, a mrs. house phone call regular saying that yeah, off the track and thousands of people flocks to this famous temples, to offer that fast in says at the altar at midnight to mock the very beginning of luna new. yeah. as this, it isn't a ritual worship us belief as early as a mix. that offerings the best of luck they will have in the yeah. has is also the 1st new. yeah. well we can find people to celebrate without the mosque, again, from hong kong yourself. how soon we covered that quickly?
