the dreams coming through making money, having a son with non falls injunction stuff. december 13th on d. w. the the. this is dw news coming july from berlin protest erupt in the georgia and capital tbilisi engine cities across the country. please use water cutting interior gas to disperse protesters angry at the government's decision to suspend tall san joining. the european union also coming up fury in ukraine as russia threats to use its new ballistic missiles to hit the government district and keep and other key decision making strict sites plus displace lebanese people, return to scenes of devastation as both is real and has pulled off face accusations, a breeching of proud show truths and the scourge of plastic pollution.

why the world needs to end? it's in what or who is holding up an agreement as negotiators meets in south korea to discuss a globally finding treaty, the little i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. police in the george and capital to blue see have clashed with protesters after the government said it was suspending negotiations to join the european union. thousands of people gathered near the parliament building to protest the governments move. armed police used water cannon and tear gas to disperse the crow. several protesters were arrested. the government stopped. it's you entry bid following a decision by the european parliament to reject the results of george's election last month. the legend significant irregularity is george's prime minister. accuse

to you a blackmail. demonstrators assembled outside george's parliament building in tbilisi as well as the governing parties. headquarters protests were also reported in north or george and cities, georgia, seeing several anti government protesters to you, but they grew following an election and october. the opposition claims the criminal intent to fusion. the campaign in favor of the governing georgia dream party. critics say it is being moving george and then no far tearing direction for months . but that thursday marked a watershed moment. i'm very devastated because we were not expecting this thing to go so soon. and so for the government to make the statements that they said today, and i think that this makes us feel very hopeless. but at the same time, i think that we're becoming stronger because of that is in just what sparks of

protests was an announcement by george's prime minister. he said he was suspending the bid to join to you on the grounds that brussels had disrespected george and values thomas let's, let's move amelia. it is categorically unacceptable for us to view you integration as an active charity that the european union must ground to us separately. they are asking from georgia not reforms. so this is not the steps that would mean the rejection of our dignity. most business outside parliament, thorough barricades to prevent protesters from gaining entry. opinion polls indicates the vast majority of georgia and still want to join the b. u and georgia . dream says it intends to do that one day. but for the moment, the divide between the government and the georgian people's aspirations looks set to grow wider. dw correspondent maria, cut them out too, was the protest in tbilisi last night. she told me what she witnessed. yeah,

it was definitely a very long, tough and violent night. instantly see the police as, as stated before, use the 2 guys, half of sprays water cannons. just bear in mind that it's quite cold. now it's p. c was around one degrees above celsius and people still wouldn't leave the parliament square when the police were, was directing the streams of water as um. now we've seen that the police uh has been uh, was violently attacking some of the protesters individual protesters. and they also attempt to press the local press to john and as were bitten ones on those. we saw that he was in blogs and she was later and he has to seek the medical attention. so it was definitely very brutal, crack dogs that were witness. so people were hiding in the pharmacy shop in the

pharmacies in his office, but the police would storm those shops as well as we understand that around 43 people have been detained as of now, according to the official information of the ministry of internal affairs. so if, if the approach has continued and they are set to continue, we assume the, this is, i think, not the last time when we're seeing this sort of crux on on police the streets. the georgia's prime minister says he suspending the country's bid to join the european union. what does that mean for the future of georgia? well, the, you aspirations armstrong and in the countries constitution and many protests so. so it is um, an unconstitutional move from the, from the government. now it's very hard to find someone, you know, instability,

who does support youth, according to the polls. indeed, more than 80 percent of people's georgia support dot uh task. but the, you know, they are increasingly distrustful um, in regards to what they've government, who, you know, which they don't see to be a pro europe. and it's not just the development that we see now, but it's been growing. you know, this sort of distrust over the past 2 years, especially after the government introduced the us. the critics would say russian style, oppressive for a low as such a subordinate as well. for instance, on the, we've been seeing that there is a huge sort of gap between what's really the government wants, especially after the full scale invasion of ukraine trying to 6 closer called you know, ties with. most people don't seem to see that idea of very uh, sort of popular here it's, it's, it's definitely not. uh, so we're gonna see how it's is going to develop some here. but things done looks

very, very, sort of positive at this point. also we have to keep in mind that the legitimacy of the dispute at elections. 6 it's still under questions so it's going to be interesting to see whether the protestors will be able to pressure the government to challenge those elections and to have it in you a lock sense. but the government's insist that there is no way that you gonna have new elections. they say that they will invest that election, and i think we're going to see more sort of track down to in the future. looks like and that was the w corresponded maria cut the mode to speaking to me. a short while ago from tbilisi. russian president vladimir putin has threatened to attack government buildings and other decision making centers in ukraine with a new hypersonic miss,

all attested. last week. the threat came after rusher launched a mass of attack on ukraine's energy grid. the kremlin described it as a response to key is use of longer range western missiles, of these powered by generators after russia struck ki energy and infrastructure leaving a 1000000 residents in western ukraine without power. while a generator keeps things running at this bar, there are concerns. moscow will once again ramp up the tax on key facilities as the winter sets in the codes. i don't think there will be any blackouts, but we'll see. life is complicated. anything could happen, and i hope they wouldn't be a situation like in previous use when powell was out for a very long time. i think it will be easy and now power and water cuts also hit other parts. if you clean the salt

also targeted odessa damaging several residential buildings come you for the debris was falling on my head to the but i threw it all on the floor. one brick even hit me directly in the face. all this, the kremlin size is retaliation after ukraine hit targets inside russian territory with us and u. k. made long range missiles. president vladimir putin is now threatening to launch new hypersonic missiles at keys and elsewhere in ukraine. no, that's not. you didn't say that when you put in it for significant target is we we use those means that are at our disposal. yeah. but from sort of schedule we use clear, james, we do not run it through used evaluation missiles against the military or young. the military industrial facilities for the victim

promotionally, city or decision making center executive should including an kias. if keith keith is urging the international community to react to the threats us. and we expect those countries that have search, everyone to a very expanding of the war, react to their statements waste by within today, it is very important if we, if we treated fairly and these are the statements, these blackmail is the expense on the floor. and the threats of expansion or for unacceptable. ukraine says it's all the more reason for allies to ensure faster military aid. your grains present blown me is landscape described. vladimir putin comments regarding themselves as saber rattling, aimed at disrupting efforts to bring the war in ukraine to an end. we just know one

of the last so that i couldn't once again promote dismiss aisles. his readiness to kill and destroy be liberal green. 2 plus thousands of mid sized bits of all really struck. you train? booting clearly wants to at 1000 small tv me. he has no interest in ending. this will put him over, put in, wants to prevent others from ending this war. this is karen said the thing with arrest. nick james. solely disrupting the efforts of president trump. that a shot to follow his integration to be seen. all right. i asked military on the list prank language earlier what he makes, putting his threat to use the hypersonic missiles. there are unknowns here to me, solid, which is a r s 26 arrest me we saw use last week is a, it's, it's not necessarily a, it's a new development essentially, but rather older design. and you said that on the screen rather frightening me. and what you see there are multiple multiple, a targeted warheads of those on precision guided what they are designed is actually

designed to hold nuclear warheads. you can't put high explosives into the problem for the crated perspective. is not the west perspective because these are these, my cells are designed to be used in europe. i'd have to regulate any talk. it took me up to the equivalent to the old massage. we used to talk about the cold war, intermediate range, ballistic my thoughts. the problem is a very, very difficult to shoot down. however, that not precision guided. so those will head to so that targeted onto the pro what not here. taking targets within meters as other kinds of me solves. com. is there any kind of defense for it against this kind of missile frank could the us maybe provide ukraine with the technology needed to defend itself against these missiles? is still the technology which might be able to come to the bas cole that side, which was one battery, which we saw deployed to as well. recently. that would be a significant uplifted us out there on the i think 7 boxes,

the sides that will be used successfully. but because there's kind of talk it in a, in the middle east and in the past, i think it unlikely the us with, with the transfer them to your problem for the simple reason that these are always on the us control that come on to me. so i'll come out and i'll send to the line, i'll post it as it, but technically they kind of shoot these down, but they have to hit them before those little heads all released which presents of the problem. so they asked the question, is it will likely go no, it's very unlikely you credit is going to get any kind of capability which will challenge the rest of it. however, it also must be said, we don't know that the russians have any more of these. it is, as i say, it was said in your report, an experimental they saw course, we saw it experimented infiniti pro. how many of these the russians have? we don't know frank, thank you very much. as always, our military analyst prank lead, which there, let's take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. on a visit to north korea, russian defense minister andre values office has said that ties with north korea

are expanding in all areas. that's according to russia, media reports that himself isn't feeling yang to meet with military and political officials. the reported recent exchanges of soldiers and weapons technology between russia and north korea. as alarm western nations, philippines president ferdinand marco's junior calls efforts to impeach his vice president a waste of time. so detailed to as publicly threatened to have marco's killed the, to one a landslide victory together in 2022. but have since fallen out, other groups may still push for detaches, and peach went over the ledge misuse of government funds. both thing is underway and ireland general election incumbents central left parties that have dominated iris politics for years, face a challenge from opposition. parties in vain housing. the cost of living crises of

topped motor concerns during the campaign. now to the middle east and the fragile cease far between israel and hezbollah, militants, and 11 on these really military has warrant lebanese presidents against moving south to a line of villages and their surroundings until further notice. people in their thousands are returning to their homes. in southern 11 on as a shaky truce between israel and hezbollah enters its 3rd day, new images are revealing the extent of the destruction from is really bombardments, like here in the city of tire. israel's military says, any violation of the cease fire will be met with force? people have also been morning out of mass grave near a tire where dozens killed it and is really air strikes. we're very dw correspondence. tell him at a as in be rude. she told me how the cease fire has been holding up. so we're

entering the thursday of the ceasefire agreement. and up until now that have been several or violations of the deal. and that has been shooting in villages in the border region as well as air strikes and tongues, time controlling. and these incidents of violations has been confirmed by both the liberties and the israeli army. israel says that it is only firing at suspect 2 are coming close to areas where they shouldn't be and that one attack was due to it has the weapon facility that they stroke. we hear from media reports that the liberties prime minister in the audi has been on the phone with a monitoring my call as front as one of the monitoring states. and that is the in charge of overseas the ceasefire that we heard the is really military warning lebanese residents not to return to certain villages in the south despite the cease

fire war. can you tell us about that? so shortly after the ceasefire agreement came into effect, is there any army has published a map where it indicates as an area that is close to the buddha and along the border line, uh and the is really army announced this to be a restricted area for this area specifically, they also issued previously yesterday and the day before uh, curfews and didn't allow people to go out after 5 pm. now they have just said that for the entire region that destroying on the map, people are not allowed to go back. i'm not allowed to enter this area and people here are really reacting in this agreement because they are saying why should the is really government tell us where to go in our own country. so sounds like people

. there are a little ambivalent about the truce altogether, but how optimistic are they that they will hold? well, the latest incidents are really a stress test for this agreement on people all worried that it might not last very long and especially that it might not lead to a long term piece. as full stein the u. s. diplomats who was involved in, in the and the negotiations originally said, and they also here miss honey, i was speaking and this one you all has recently said that he already agreed to a cease fire and not to the war a ending. so this is also something that keeps the people here worried and there is just a lot of mistrust towards israel. whether disagreement like really last. so thank you. that was our correspondence. tell him in a, in b root, a negotiator is from nearly 200 countries in south korea are working to expedite

thing oceans for a legally binding treaty on global plastic pollution by the end of the week during the 5th and final united nations inter governmental negotiating committee meeting boots on several delegates express frustration over the slow pace of discussions. they highlighted disagreements regarding the regulation of plastic products and hazardous chemicals, the management of primary polymers, supplies, and the establishment of a financial mechanism to assist developing countries in implementing the treaty. in southern india, scuba divers are making efforts to clean plastic waste from the water and over the years they've collected tons of it off the cost of $10.00, i in the school, but they were part of it. and his 9 year old daughter are getting ready for different kinds of, di, your mission isn't just to observe marine life,

but the call like plastic is there a peaceful fish down there? and basically the same amount of plastic plastic that made me realize that i need to, to help bring in so fast to get it to the door. says they who collect the pals and stuff, kilograms of plastic over the years in the role of care. and the along the short, but it's not enough to reduce to massive amounts of trash, the loan of the money and well, despite our f, as the yellow bags be free from home, always end up full of plastic. the only way to end this pollution is to stop it from being created to stop. and i want to know what i'm going to have to go about. that is being discussed by negotiators from more than a 175 countries in blue, sun, south korea. are they a goal to agree on a legally binding global treaty to ent, plastic pollution? often to use of conferences, delegates to tent agree on whether the 3,

the should include directors, the tech of the problem at source problem is that we're producing and using too much, plastics. and that is completely overwhelming. all of our efforts around waste management and clean ups globally. and if we don't have a kind of common understanding, understanding that as the problem we're trying to. so it's very difficult to find common solutions and other sticking point is lots sort of blanket tools can be agreed upon international concerning the rate for that side design and what type of plastics can be used in at the moment that i know direct is the think global level, it's more of a patchwork of nation of legislation. because caustics is a completely international thing. we see plastics being traded globally, but also polluting globally. one of the questions is, should we agree at the global level about assessing products that should be completely remote. you're finding the way to overcome these heard those is wipe because once plastic find its way into a regular systems,

it can stay there for hundreds of years. slow the breaking down into smaller fragments. we're now finding micro plastics in our bodies. we're finding them on mount everest. micro plastics are literally everywhere. and our ability to solve some of these problems is really fundamental for what the future looks like for the next generation negotiators. they've onto the sunday to come to an agreement only then we'll discharge and can i have a chance to become plastic free again? it's all for me or we can now talk to you and is milwaukee. she's the co chair, the international pollutants elimination network. that's a group of global environmental organizations lobbying against the production use and disposal of toxic chemicals. she joins me from this on in south korea. welcome to the program. tell us why does the world need a global plastics treaty? thank you, terry. great things from the sun of the world need rustic global bostic 3

d b goes. so we have a global crisis and we need to protect a health. and this is the mandates step. have agreed by almost 200 countries. 2 years ago that the global crisis has to be answered by the international legally binding 3 p. otherwise, the energy and the plastic production will keep increasing and cost our health and our future needs say, nearly $200.00 countries have have agreed. indeed, most degree there is a problem with plastics, but some countries don't want to put caps on plastic production. why? yeah, because some countries do not want to decrease overdues their profits. in the last 50 years, they've been profiting from the increased production of oil and gas. and now, since, as the resources declining in depleting and the restrictions from the agreement of

climates, crude oil to come, he goes be coming. the new trend. so many lobbyist for the plastics industry are attending those talks in boost on and south korea. what role are they playing in the discussions there? yes, indeed, it's an interesting um, interesting interventions and involvements of the oil producers. but they are also coming from oil states mainly. and most of these oil states, all oil producing countries of the strongest opponents of these global agreements, they try as much as possible to refuse any good agreement or make a good deal. even they want to limit the scope of this pretty narrow it down to

only a single use rustic products. right. plastics. of course uh, being made from petrow kind of like goals. uh the cop 29 clements. somebody in buck a uh, ended in a deal that failed to satisfy the demands of climate active as an emerging country . should we expect anything different from the negotiations taking place there in south korea on plastics? unfortunately the recent draft that we receive showing a very pathetic draft, we have so definitely studied and, and disappointed to see the recent draft that will be discussed tomorrow. but from that draft that just released by the chair this afternoon just half an hour ago. we don't see any issues target at all for them to meet their their mondays. and what we see is just business that use. well,

you're you and thank you very much for speaking with us. that was your young as milwaukee from the international pollutants, elimination network. speaking to us from boost and get terry a sale if you've ever thought visiting the pristine fjords of greenland getting there has just become a lot easier. that's because the island has finally opened its 1st runway suitable for large passenger planes. the excited locals and tours welcome to the 1st touch plane from copenhagen landing on a brand new runway in new orleans capital. the old runway was too short for larger trusting projects to get the green ones. capital taurus tend to fly by a nicely for a, for us military base in the noise. you're watching dw news from berlin,
