the dreams coming through making money, having a son with non falls injunction stuff. december 13th on d. w. the this is dw news coming to live from berlin. georgia is government suspends it's bid to join the european union. protests erupt in the capital, the police seat, and other cities with police using water, canada, and tear gas to disperse demonstrators. angry at the decision, also coming up fury in ukraine as russia threatened to use this new ballistic missile to hit the government, the district in cave, and other key decision making sign plus displaced lebanese people returning to scenes of devastation as both is real and has pulled out face accusations of breaching a fragile truce and activists in the u. k. r. campaigning for the terminally ill to

be allowed to decide when they want to die. but as parliament debates the issue, opponents fear any change in them all could put certain groups of people at risk. the lower them terry martin did the heavy with as a decision by george's prime minister to suspend negotiations to enter. the european union has met with protests from the heights of government to people in the streets more than a 100 diplomats of signed an open letter calling this stance unconstitutional. an overnight police clash with you prob, prob you protesters into policing. thousands of people gathered near the parliament building. armed police used water cannon into your guests to disperse the crowd. george's interior ministry says 43 people were arrested or the government stop.

it's you entry bid following the european parliament's rejection of the results from georgia's election last month alleging significant irregularities. demonstrators assembled outside george's parliament building in tbilisi, as well as the governing parties. headquarters protests were also reported to north or george and cities, georgia, seeing several anti government protest this year, 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 georgia and then no sar tearing direction for months . but the thursday marked a watershed moment. i'm very devastated because we were not expecting this things to go so soon and for us 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 sort of seizure. because what sparked the protests was an announcement by george's prime minister. so he said he was suspending the bid to join to you on the grounds. the brussels had disrespected george and values thomas let's, let's move up in. yeah, it is categorically unacceptable for us to view you integration as an active charity that the european union must ground to us for their 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 an entry opinion. polls indicates the vast majority of georgia and still wants 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 george and peoples aspirations looks set to grow wider. the. the

dw corresponded maria color mazda. it was as the protest into police. the last i, she told me what she witnessed. yeah, it was definitely a very long, tough and violent night. instantly see the police as a stated before use the to guy half of sprays. want to kind of just bear in mind that it's quite cold knowledge. 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 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 he was later and he had 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 shots, but the police would storm those shops as well as we understand that around $43.00 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 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 while 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. oh uh, it's very hard to find someone you know, uh, increasing who does support you according to the polls. indeed, more than 80 percent of people's georgia support that costs. 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 introduce the us. the critics would say russian style oppressive rule was 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 calls. you know, ties with. most people don't seem to seize us idea. um,

very uh, sort of popular here it's, it's, it's definitely not. uh, so we're gonna see how it's going to develop from here. but spring sun looks very, very sort of positive at this point. also we have to keep in mind that the legitimacy of the dispute at elections. 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 lot sense. but the governments insist that there is no way that you gonna have new elections. they say that they will invest, what is that election? and i think we're gonna see more sort of confidence in the future looks like. and that was the w corresponded maria cut their minds a reporting a little earlier from tbilisi. now, russia's president vladimir putin has threatened to attack government buildings and

other decision making centers in ukraine with a new hypersonic miss. alec tested last week. the threat came after russia lost a mass of attack on ukraine's energy grid. the crim kremlin described it as a response to keeps use of longer range western missiles. vive 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 like, is complicated. anything crude happen? i hope they won't be a situation like in previous years 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 new for the debris was falling on my head to the but i threw it all on the floor from one brick even to hit me directly in the face. all this, the kremlin size is retaliation after you crane hit targets inside russian territory with us, the new 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 when we use those means that are at our disposal. yeah. but from sort of because of the screen, we do not reality used to validation missiles against the military,

the military industrial facilities the store. um you have some of the items right in there. promotionally said your decision making center executive should including and keith. if keith comtois, c, t is urging the international community to react to the threats. and we expect those countries that have search, everyone to a very expanding of the war to react to this statements waste by putting today. it is very important if we, if we are 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 ukraine's president beloved minister landscape, described by the way, opinions, comments over missiles, as saber rattling, fame,

debt disrupting efforts to bring the war in ukraine to an end. we just know what are the laws so that i could in once again promote dismiss aisles. his readiness to kill and destroy the little green teal plus thousands of mid sized bits of already 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 the others from ending this war is karen say, but reckoning with arrest, make the same solely at disrupting the efforts of president trump, that a show to follow his integrations. i should've moved to dc and the whole right. i spoke a little earlier with military analyst frank language. i asked him what he makes up, put into the threat to use hypersonic missiles. there are unknowns here to me solve, which is a r s 26 arrest nick we saw use last week. it's a, it's, it's not necessarily a, it's a new development essentially of a rather old design. and you said that on the screen, rather frighteningly,

what you see there are multiple multiple, the targeted warheads of those on precision guided. what they are designed is actually designed to hold nuclear warheads. you kind of put high explosives into the problem for the crated perspective is not the west perspective because these are, these massages are designed to be used in europe. i'd have to write said any talk, it took me up to the equivalent to the old me cells. we used to talk about the cold war, intermediate range, ballistic my thoughts. the problem is a very, very difficult to shoot down. however, not precision guided. so those will hedges so that targeted onto the pro what not hitting targets we didn't meet as, as other kinds of miss solves. com. is there any kind of defense for against this kind of missile frank could the us maybe provide ukraine with the technology needed to defend itself against these missiles the only technology which might be able to come to that was called it 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 of sides that will be used successfully, but it goes, there's kind of talk it in, in the middle east in the past. i think it unlikely the us with, with the transfer them to your crime for the simple reason that these are always on the us control that come on, did miss all come out and nothing to the line of forces as it, but technically they kind of to these down, but they have to hit them before those will heads are released, which presents of the problem. so they asked the question, is it will likely go to no, it's very unlikely you credit is going to get any kind of capability which will challenge the rest of it. however, the also must be said, we don't know that the russians have any more of these. it is, as i said, was setting your post an experimental mist saw. for course we saw it experimented in any 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 say, look,

some other stories making headlines around the world today on a visit to north korea. russian defense minister andre blues office has sent ties with north korea are expanding in all areas that's according to russia. media reports, fellow, so is in killing young to meet with military and political officials. north korea has reportedly sent more than 10000 soldiers to help russia fight. you create severe flooding and malaysia. it has killed at least 3 people. several states have started to back the way sions, reporting more than 80000 displays. people. floods are common in parts of malaysia during monsoon season, which runs from november to march. boating is on your way in ireland general election, incumbent central left parties that have dominated ours politics for years. face of challenge from opposition, party sinn fein housing and cost of living crises have talked about are concerns during the campaign now to the middle east and the fragile

ceasefire between israel and has belong militants in $11.00 on the is really military has warrant lebanese residents against moving south to a line of villages and their surrounding surroundings until further notice, police people in their thousands rather, are still returning to their homes in southern lebanon as the shaky truce between israel and hezbollah interest its 3rd day. new images are revealing the extent of the destruction from israeli bombardments. like here in the city of tyre. israel's military says, any violation of the cease fire will be met with force. people have also been morning at a mass grave near tire where dozens killed and is rarely ever strikes were buried. dw correspondence tell a man in berry and told me how the cease fire is holding a. so we're entering the thursday of the ceasefire agreement. and

up until now there have been several 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. you are coming close to areas where they shouldn't be and that one attack was due to it has by 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? or 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 is trading 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 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. diplomat was involved and the negotiations originally said, and they also here, ms. honey i was speaking and this one you all has recently said that he already agreed to cease fire and not to the war ending. so this is also something that keeps the people here worried. and there's 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 or should assist a diet become legal in the u. k. that's what british lawmakers are debating ahead

of a boat today. as the debate got underway, demonstrators opposing the idea of assistant dying, started gathering outside the parliament and london. observers are expecting protests in support of the bill to the contentious topic has split u. k. society for years. but recent polls suggest a majority of britain's now favor changing the law. the bill would allow adults who are terminally ill to get assistance in ending their own life. advocates of assisted dying have long fought for such a law that we use very good mas met with some of them, a painless death for those who wanted. that's what these campaign is involved in the south of england, the fighting for the supposing a proposed floor that enables tom and the new people to be assisted to end their own lives. to close close to sophie pend. it's hard when my mother

wanted on this to death, even though we knew it was against the little know morales was to support high and enabled her to have a step free of suffering. sophie's mother and had been diagnosed with a rab brain disorder, but would eventually have made her completely dependent on others. she tried to take her own life, then decided to travel to switzerland, where it says the dine is legal. the 3 children went with a knowing this would be the final days and hours as a family. sophie says the mother died before her time because she needed to be fit enough to make the journey to foreign country. if assess the dying have been leaking in this country, she would have known that she could die at home in this country. she could die with our friends and family around, so i should she wish. and it also would have meant that she most likely would have

died later on in her own us. but some people are against changing the little disability rights campaign. a few friends is afraid that disabled people could be call us into unassisted death. society sees disabled people as people who are dependent as people who all vulnerable and basically what that means is that they take a view. my life isn't as was leaving us. there's is. so if i get really ill, it would be a calling, swimming it to let me go to the new little proposes safeguards against such collection to doctors and the judge would need to approve the death. but this does not convince phillips. he has lived with disability and the discrimination that he says has come with it. since he contracted polio at the age of 3, he feels he needed to constantly fights was rights and does not completely trust the medical establishment. so how it to doctors who don't know me supposed to

assess whether i'm being co us don't know whether people are leaning on me to, to type them education by loves and doctors aren't trained to look at color ocean. that's a very skilled job. suits as the proposed little pits his autonomy and desire to live against someone else's autonomy and wished to have a pain freed that he would rather have resources diverted into beth, a palliative, cat sophie, pend, it, is convinced that it is cruel to deny people to day without suffering, a moral dilemma that you can't go mad, because we'll have to examine very carefully. for more on this dilemma, let's cross over to london, where did nobody's bare good mazda standing by bigots. so she's following today's debate from outside the house of commons, brigitte assisted dying. is it usually controversial topic? how was it being debated in the u. k. parliament is where i

am. emotions are really running high. so behind me, you can see a loss of disability rights campaign is they are demonstrating for m p. 's not to change the take more time, develop more resources into palliative cap. however, if you just walk along elizabeth further behind the parliament, opposite big band are lots of containers who want the m p 's to change the law. most of them, a lot of them are made to rated by having loved ones. see, they sold them dying, a often a very painful death, and they are arguing that the, it's the, it should be up to the individual to decide if they have to have into the how they, they want to die. and, and these are the raging, is also with a lot of emotion. a lot of in piece um inside the house with his bates actually no taking place. they haven't made up their mind yet because they understand both sides of the argument. so it's a very uh, it's a very intense, emotional subject,

and i think it's being debated. yeah. and in the u. k. quite quite softly. is it a reports? vegas we heard from a disability campaigner who explain why people with disabilities might feel threatened by this bill. what kind of safeguards are in this bill to address those concerns? so there is m p 's and those components to afford for change of the laws say that these safeguards will be the best in the world. so the bill in the u. k. is modeled after the state of oregon, the safeguards and those 2 independent doctors who have to say that they have to do a check that the person is wants to die of their freedom, the free will. it's only possible for somebody to use anyway. tom, another you and has a life expectancy of 6 months or less, but they would also be a high court judge who will then check whether everything is done legally. and the process was right. however,

disability rights containers are still worried. they are worried that's a garage and is maybe more subtle. that's it's most about somebody forcing you to die. it comes to wish, but maybe people feel that they all, they don't want to be a burden to their loved ones at the end of their lives. and that they will. yeah. and the most thoughtful way the suit is they, they don't want to be abroad. and financially or emotional, you know, they don't want to see the loved ones. they don't want to see them sofa so that they sort of drone into making a decision that they would otherwise maybe not would, would have made their good. thank you very much. that was our correspond the biggest, most in london. so if you've ever thought of 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
