i brink off. it's good to have you with us on this wednesday. you as president joe bite and his urge to florida residents to flee hurricane milton warning that the storm could be the worst natural disaster to hit the state in a century. with more than 5000000 people ordered to evacuate, some residents have bound to stay in their homes. despite being told that they face almost certain death. the category for a storm is currently over the gulf of mexico heading for the tampa bay area. it's expected to week and as it makes land fall, but it's also expected to grow in size and bring sustained wind gusts of over 300 kilometers per hour. and i'll report a chef on 3 months. he is in orlando, florida. they're preparing for the storm. you step on you arrived in the area earlier today and tell us how things are looking where you are. i was brand at the moment. we're taking actually

a little break from the rain here about the gray skies. when just picking up a little bit. this is just the outer out out of our bands of power can milton making his way towards florida. so there's nothing serious yet. however, serious is what even people here in orlando kissing me area. and that is where disney world is just a month, few miles down the road is have to prepare for. and as you can see, we had a gas station here. and the lines are getting longer and longer because this is one of the guesses was actually has spill gas. is my camera remind me of turns around. there's another gas station actually bigger than this one here, and it's completely empty down no more gas. there. people are just going there to try to get a snack or anything that can grab to prepay off what's coming. and what is coming is a world of hurt and paying for all the victories from the tampa bay area. and for the people here. because when this hurricane makes land phone in the nights, wednesday and the thursday, it will move across the state, orlando, just to me area he is right into this straightened on this track and in this path. and there will be maybe still a category to category one,

hurricane with sustained winds and lots and lots of rain. what is different if we do have gas stations, like you pointed out that are running out of gas, what does that mean? been for people who are trying to evacuate as yeah, that's a pain in the neck. that's a real concern for many, many thousands because he is how this works. of course you, if you keep the call for evacuation, you go, you drive, you have gas up, but highways and streets are not clogged, but very, very, very busy. yesterday they were at a standstill at times. now this has eased off a little bit, but still it is a challenge to actually get moving and get out of those areas. and now $1700.00 gas station is already in florida. here out of gas in this area here, and that is a problem because if you don't have gas, you can move, you can take shelter anywhere. same goals for food though and water. people are really desperate to get last minute supply, see and restaurants are all shut down here. even here,

let alone further towards the cost where the hurricane will actually make landfall in the night. so it's a real, real big challenge for people in who anybody is on the move or who is a resident wherever you are. you want to get some things still. ok, but again, it's getting, it's the shelves are really, really getting empty here is you have and this is the 2nd major hurricane to hit florida in 2 weeks. be how will are authorities prepared for what is about to happen yet again? is absolutely right. second, to a major hurricane historic one. this one within 2 weeks before that headline and, you know, there's a problem before answers question. authorities are prepared because they had about 2 days a little bit more to really prepare because this storm here. milton exploded over the course of 48 hours and not within 12 hours, and that is good for authorities to prepare. utility workers, empties 1st responders. 911 call if you make, which will be seated,

which will be answered, but then they can send anybody else. so there's plenty of manpower. there's plenty of hardware ready buddies for the time after the hurricane hits for the rescue and rescue operations after that. and, well, it doesn't help you in the moment the hurricane hits, though that's true, dw is deaf on females, but the latest from orlando florida is defined. we will be checking in with you throughout the course of the evening. thank you as president joe biden and is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu have spoken on the phone for the 1st time in weeks is rarely officials say that the talks focused on plans for a retaliatory strike on iran following its 1st ballistic missile attack on israel. meanwhile, 2 people have been killed in northern israel from hezbollah rocket fire on the city of security on simona and several were injured in an attack on hyphen on the other side of the border. 4 people were killed in 11. no, i mean is really strikes is real, says that it has hit more than

a 180 has full of targets in the last day with journalist to rebuild the harvey who's in the room. she gave us this update. so i just took it together. think dependent to show what, what's going on specially the goals and since this is really called a sense of the solves but this seems to be a serious flushes. we had something very symbolic. we had a picture of the model of the last, this is an area of very close the from the is really for the we see this instead on whether it is really ami. hit setup is for 80 flat, noted the very same place is paula says that they were striking back on this list that was going to be there that there were also the pages of the injured, at least on the is there a side note we have just the right now use that one of the insurance is used to be one of the advisors of the east rates because the finance is smotts, which there also is really obvious,

seems to call to check what would this risk then side to what's the retail rate, the pose, and you have this yes, flights in the car valley and to choose twice over night to being one of them in the policy became what was it that actually most of the cells of the city supposed to go actually, for example, is an area where there is no police senior living but also the ceiling records you could use as many people who don't have the financial needs to pay expensive rents and other parts of level. but most of these people in the last days have left this area that was cream, alcohol, re, their reporting from the they root. fighting is also continuing in the gaza strip, where these really army says that it has struck 45. how mos targets, including basses, rocket launchers, and weapons caches, a large scale ground operation is also underway in northern concept. as more as

rarely strikes hit jobs of the him, us run health industries as the death toll from the attacks has now risen above $42000.00 israel began to, to operations in guns a year ago in response to the october 7th attacks by whom us, which is seen as a terrorist group by multiple countries. all right, i want to bring in now francois the care of smoking. he is the director of doctors of the world, germany. he joins us now from munich. it's good to have you with this and let me ask you about this figure with the death told and gods, and now exceeding 42000. that's according to health authorities in gaza. how is doctors of the world adjusting its operations inside guns? yes. is a very good question and not easy to answer because uh uh, as we hear all the reports since already one year. now. um the,

our operations are really organized on a daily basis because every day something new happens we have for us to, to displays or a staff of people out for us to uh, to change their locations and according to the movements all the from the east. right. of the army, so far as it is quite difficult to have bus stable programs seen, we have uh, somehow managed to have 4 different mobile teams. they have to be mobile by to be able to help in the different shelters that organized for the, for the displaced persons. we also provide the head for 6 um the fix of the hip primary has centers and we provide the support for 500 to 4000 people a day. this is the amount of people that affect it and the only from the side of our small m d m organization. let me ask you about the situation in 11 on what

specific emergency measures and long term strategies are you implementing to assist the people there. again, here is the situation who is moving every day. so our advantages that we are working since 20 years in several parts, hopefully by then. so also here, the, on the way at the moment is to deliver a to through mo, by teams that are already on the ground. and so every day we have to adapt, we have to, uh, to change our security rules also. uh, you know that to be uh, working as safe as possible, which is a real challenge in gaza, especially, but also in lebanon, as we, uh, yes, we are testing money and we have to see what need that human. it's aaron,

no is not respected. and humanitarian work as us also at the very danger to practice their work in many staff self hours or from other organizations are also hit by the techs. so it's a really, really big challenge for a living ization staff. and how does this compare to your intervention in gaza? and i'm wondering, you know, how do you ensure the safety of your medical teams? and yes, as i said, the safety of the medical teams, especially in gaza, is very uh, unstable or is on. there is no security that we have to, to coordinate every movement with the east riley, 3 d 0 is randy, an army who's giving up the revision to move from here to there. and then at the same time as it does is not even giving the forward security that's our convoys

would not be hit. uh so, and the same is happening now in uh, salt lake on, on especially because there is, uh, this, the moving uh war scenario. we don't know where uh, which territory is, are occupied by home. so for us, um it's, it's a permanent challenge to, to make sure that we can provide some limited help. and our as all most and safety circumstances. this is the cares maker. you know that a ceasefire is not on the horizon. what does that mean for your organization? i mean, what are your priority projects? if you look into the future for the next 6 months? yes, even if the ceasefire is not on the horizon, that's the reality today. but since one year we are permanently

pleading for that appealing and begging for that because this is the only way to to provide the necessary help this year. the circumstances in gaza already november 23. we where are we fight? by the circumstances and which people had to leave the the total collapse of the dominican systems. people uh, being treated on the ground. no. um, no medications um that to, to, to basic medications to save lives. um, so this uh we are at $60.00 money of that since more than one year. so we keep leaving and the, the appealing for a complete ceasefire and condition of the ceasefire. and the opening, the, the, the, the routes and the check binds for 8 con, voice. otherwise, we,

we see an increase permanent increase of this and the suffering. and this is not anymore acceptable. this is in human. okay. french why the care is making a director of the doctors of the world, germany. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thanks. you're welcome. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. japan's be prime minister should go to issue, but it has dissolved parliament and called snap elections later this month. sheba hoops a political honeymoon and a fragmented opposition will help him lead the ruling liberal democrats to another victory. despite a series of scandals, a former liverpool endorsement and codes, you're going to lots has taken a new job with red bull. the energy drinks company owns football clubs in germany, austria, brazil, and the us instead of football operations club will provide
