exempt much from troubles, all fixed in meals, culture on 1015 minutes, left side of our community life on the service. the research is now on the top hello and welcome to do the news. here our top story is coming to live from berlin, early elections. i had in germany and we may just have a dates after the collapse of his governing coalition last week of german chancellor, all actual degrees to early elections in february, also ahead of us deadline to allow more aid into gaza expires today. agencies at st . israel has failed to comply with us, demands the

. i'm quite richardson, a welcome to the program. we start with breaking news coming in from here in berlin, german chancellor, all our folks and the main opposition. conservatives have agreed on a date for early elections. february 23rd. the snap election was prompted by the collapse of the coalition government last week when schultz fired his finance minister an election in february's earlier than what the chancellor was hoping for . he'd wanted a confidence vote in parliament next january to be followed by elections in march, but bound to political pressure. schultz has agreed to hold the confidence vote in december and elections in february. and the leader of the opposition christian democratic union, feverish match has confirmed that he has agreed with other leading politicians on that election date merits will be running for chancellor for the c d. u. chavez. zip. so i think the speakers i have, of course spoken to the leader of the s p d in the it's but also with my colleagues from the f t p and the green is the green

and you have him once we agreed to suggest to the president and, and for to that we hold an election on the 23rd of february. what? so to vote for the 21st german parliament to about 10000000 zions or city von. so i don't sponsors induction one to stock or now from our chief political editor, mikaela customer who's following developments for us from for lynn mckayla, we've heard they're the parties, they've agreed on an election date. is the path forward now clear? yes it is. we at least know that the pos in terms of a timing, although none of this sort has been subject to political negotiation. and it's really interesting. we saw this a government a meltdown last week when, when i've sold a throughout the free democrat finance minister over an argument, how to pay essentially for the help for ukraine. that means providing it's the 2nd

largest provider of military assistance, but also of funding. and am now a week on we're still talking about how to get to elections when really the government is facing huge towns is a just to mention one, the election of donald trump in the united states. so germany is very busy with itself at a rather crucial time for the country, but also for the european union. but at least now we know the schedule still subject to approval from the gentleman, the president who is the one who eventually decides on the exact timing. but we understand that that's what everybody's agreed to have said that there, this comes of germany facing immense challenges, not least of which the election of donald trump, he will be taking office on january 20th so. so at that stage of germany will still not have decided on a new government. do you think that leaves berlin in a precarious position as well?

it certainly leaves the button unable to pick up the phone and give some answers when we start seeing the demands coming from donald trump, a potentially tweeting, posting, accessing, and what he expects to see from germany. he already made statements saying in germany 8 months, a saying that germany, oh is the united states money? the german economy is pointing downwards and donald trump is threatening to slap terrace even on inputs from allies. how much of this will become true? we do not know, but we know if something like that hits the german government within those 5 weeks of still being in the election campaign that can put the government into a very difficult spot and unable to give straight answers because it's not allowed to decide on huge funding until we know who's in charge in the next administration . well, thank you for bringing this up to speed with the details there. that is our chief

political editor at mckayla co star in berlin. a group of 8 international aid agencies say israel has failed to meet us demands to allow more aid into gaza. last month of the bite and administration gave is route 30 days to increase urgently needed aid for the territory or risk scaling back of american military supports. well, that deadline expires today, so how much aid is getting into garza and half the past 30 days? seen any improvements, displaced honest opinions and central guns i. q for a bowl listening to sleep red hot meal. but in many cases, one have to feed an entire extended family. of the war has destroyed, causes farming and fishing industries, leaving the entire population of 2200000 reliance on food aid. the u. n's world

food program is the biggest supplier of aid, followed by the egyptian red crescent, israel recall its own. if the aid it allows him to gaza, he around israel's month lease, which is fixed for 2024. they showed deliveries dropped in october to the lowest level since the start of the war, november solar and improvement, but still way below what the u. s. has cooled full washington once age for gaza to rise to $350.00 trucks a day that day the average for october was just $57.00 trucks. excluding fuels, deliveries, un agencies say even less actually gets distributed due to his rating restrictions ongoing. fighting on the general chaos, aid entering garza currently passes through the coverage along crossing in the south and areas and the news on tuesday is rosa to open the case to fame costing to

a day before the us deadline to increase a deliveries. things are especially bad in the news residents in the towns of giovanni at the law here in bates noon, said they've received no a tool since as well. they've got a new offensive that will not tell you, but face these really all me says it was forced to move into the times to take on her mass militants, who it says of re groups that one of mine in jamalia told reporters that most of his family were killed in a strike the weekend for behaving. this is the bread that they wanted to eat for breakfast. what good is bread if there is no safety or peace, we don't want food red or flour. we want safety and bees of the un estimates that between 75 and 95000 people are in northern gaza, living in dia conditions last week, files and this followed is ray liotta is to evacuate. they not here are you. in fact,

panel says funding is imminent in northern got it on assessment dismissed as inaccurate by israel bus. pete moore with shayna lo, a spokesperson with the norwegian refugee council. joining us today from on jordan china, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. we. we heard in that report there that agencies believe israel has not increased the flow of 8 into gaza. is that something that your organization would also corroborate? is not only in this role, not increase the amount of ego in the gaza. as the report indicated, the amount of be going into gaza in the month of october was the lowest point since age started being delivered in october of last year. this is, as we've seen, the needs continue to grow and the fact that a less than less aid is getting in and reaching people in need. it's simply catastrophic. what does that look like on the ground?

can you give us a sense of what your colleagues see when it comes to a distribution and gauze, and the people that they're meeting who need it? well, there's very little ada coming in. and so it's often chaotic seems people are trying the best that they can to deliver and distribute aid and orderly fashion. but it's incredibly difficult operating there because of the level of desperation. we're also hearing as, as we heard in the report that people say the agents i believe is useless unless there's a ceasefire because the needs will continue to grow and, and there's no relief in sight. so now we've heard also that the situation is particularly difficult in the north of gaza warnings of fam and there something that israel has denied from what you're hearing from people who've seen it with their own eyes. what, what is your assessment of the situation there? well we haven't been able to send that even to the northern most part of god, the where the communities of jamalia beat law here on the time noon are under

a tremendous siege. we're little to no aid has reached and in over a month. but what we're hearing from our staff in the city was met with people who are a plant. those areas is that it's just seems a desperation. there's no food. there is no clean water to drink. people are struggling to find anything to survive. the hospitals are besieged, there's no medicine or very little medicine coming in and, and for the people who have slept, they often arrive with nothing. they have nothing but what they to carry on their hands. and they have a very few safe places to seek shelter. in the city or in addition to us these far which do and many other 8 organizations have called for in order to care for these people. are there other specific things that israel could do to make access to that aid and its ability to reach people in gaza? easier as well. we need an opening of all of the crossings at the same time to allow for a search of 8. we need israel to remove the arbitrary restrictions that's preventing

certain live saving aid from reaching cause i heard recently from a, our colleagues in the shelter cluster that timber that's needed to, to build make ship shelters for the 1900000 palestinians. we've been internally displaced, forcibly displaced, are not allowed in, so we need those restrictions listed. on top of that, we need to be able to move to all parts of god that were civilians are in need. and we need israel to stop rejecting request for humanitarian convoys. to reach those communities, we also need a, a restoration of law and order. a surge of aid would help to create those conditions because demand of supply increases demand would, it would reduce and it would become easier for our colleagues to reach community safely and ensure that they're getting the aid that they need. china, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on dw, that is shayna lowe with the norwegian refugee council.
