very well welcome to even the anti audience. and that's something you see we're coming to live from most of the, let's take it to the little square that sits the weekend, the latest ones that made this hour. we saw with breaking news sub is president, which says he will soon given an address to the nation as protest is attempting to storm into administration building and the national capital. suppose this is one of the results of recent elementary selection has to be cancelled off of the present the routing code. this is one of the we'll be more on that update as it progresses. vanessa off has now to gaza, where a u. n. a work on his family were among the more than 200 persons who died also

today. and that's how comes out of the city that's according to local sofas. meanwhile, fighting has broken out in front of you. of us in this house was a bustling town destruction and empty streets and now old bucks left. according to egyptian media, 25 percent of the homes the are considered on inhabitable journalist. i'm also schumann, as the latest person, the everything is the front of the together to as many of the people here in law. so hold on, living in a temporary sense. and every day we try to provide all these forms with the means that ottoman associated out there might be some meeting fluids in the mass. i the forget the or rice or and then some the then to see, you know, so we try to ensure that you have enough of that every do with a lot on things like days like it to,

to keep us warm. and it's just funding like notified we've offered every day we have volunteer to find successful. we want this throughout the neighborhood yet. in addition to that, the new season has that i have many of us are sick and we're just trying to make it through the hospice. it is a very big bed because hopefully it's like a small house. and people are living everywhere on the street, inside the buildings around the states, together with many thousands of engine on the long term patients and their families . that are also many refugees for. busy it's a very, very past area. you have about 55000 feet and it's also in a very small we hope to hear the sound of the s bikes, the sound of the spy, and get it on some of us. we thought we every like the thanks have it as close as the 150 meter. i think there's really no idea. i mean,

the city for some food off hospital before the with zillow. personally, when i was in, has the city a couple of times, the things that i text me right away, bombs with their own strikes, and nobody is safe. that is normally safe. a mazda of all sorts itself for them to come from a size this has casualties, continue to mount every day. the number of functioning of hospitals, as well as the medical, so needed to run them is decreasing. the central city of the out by law is no exception, as health campus now are under intense pressure. it's also an idea of slice level search for survivors in the rubble. at least 4 see people have repeatedly been killed in the tanks on central gauze, on saturday nights, our fist, the cho, all the arabic, has listened for it from all access hospital. we're here in our locks,

a hospital, a medical facilities that has been badly damaged. so many people are coming here because of b as rarely, rates which target civilians. in particular, it's making the situation worse. there's a lack of medical facilities here to deal with the severity of people's injuries. we will try to show you what the survivors are dealing with in this intensive care units. most of them are women and children, fuels, doctor, some me, all high top. the head of the emergency room had all locks the hospital. you will show us what sort of condition the victims already when they are brought here. let people sleep in a doctor's due to the ongoing conflict. a large number of casualties are being brought here to all locks the hospital with limited facilities. how do you help the injured brought to, you know, frankly speaking, it is difficult to deal with because we're not seeing cases, we're only a leg is broken or someone experiencing abdominal, bloating. we treat a variety of cases including broken bones, trust,

injuries and head injuries such as these cases here with this child and another child that patients are coming to us with different diseases and multiple injuries . and this creates a major obstacle for us and treatment or surgery. in addition, there is a huge number of cases coming in, and this creates a serious obstacle. so things are definitely difficult to give heads us that we can sort of, i mean the increasing number of injured women and children coming in and the hospital not having the capacity to receive such a large number of patients. do you have the necessary staff? i am talking about the necessary number of medical staff to receive such a large number of victims and provide them with the needed care visit that as well . unfortunately, medical staff do not have the capacity to do so, and the size of the hospital cannot accommodate such a large number of wounded and sick. she's going to philadelphia could after you have the thank you dr. nothing here in all. ok, so hospitals operating theatre there was a serious shortage of medicine and necessary equipment. as the military operation

continues, the situation and gaza is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. well home enough r r t. gaza. hi is, is a at the office is ground operation in gauze. many policy and the sheltering in the refugee camp have had to flee from those areas. jonathan, rob, ma'am, over the phone from that i bought a new central gaza. numerous displays policies have ended up. we should warn you those, some of the following images may be disturbing. actually that situation here on the ground is getting dense our by our, as the is really true and is really the army pads or during the residents offer their age. or if we can, to leave the can to dated by the town and west when major, the goal is us to read the coast of the others by that. so they have to leave to repeat, you can now populated by populated by thousands, by,

by these thousands of people, especially those who have been displaced all by this solve the situation is getting tens and people here are predicting things to get much worse than the upcoming hours as to stated by some of the residential for the key can of river age. that's the day of the war to leave the repeat until this afternoon, which is days after that is the situation in general and the gaza strip with more is what? 80 hours to likes and more is really a chance to engage in the different spots of gaza or the other side to that has been reported. it has been reported. some at leverage is for a good supply of room, goes off into a nearby is what areas and even eh, deep are deeper into as well. some folks help as well, have been hit by the follow state in a row kits. lowest may lead as declared by the have mice at party and,

and the 2 or 3 that so far. oh, so there is no, there is no, any fruits of any political efforts being made by different spots. the fucked is to was seizing fire and finding a solution or a break through pose. this very increase it into the situation of lot of as a, to walk on the gaza strip. run me as we that a r t a locks i'm off as hospital and the midgent garza child of dairy bella is ready to mom, the residence in some areas of southern dog. the relocate has grown criticism from the united nations relief on websites and see footprint asylum. refugees in the near east, highlighting the fact that there is no a safe left to go. people in golf 0 people, they don't pieces on the checkable. many have already being displaced several times

. these really all me just oldest people to move into areas where they're ongoing as strikes. no place is safe, no way to go at my colleagues. so ask you, i would say to discuss the amount of time clauses in gaza with the search for us over the international committee of red cross in jerusalem. and i really think that the civilians in dog, they would say that there is not a safe place for them to be right now. maybe they're not in direct areas with also still these are going but there are so many other challenges. i say from food insecurity, all they say from the cold weather it's only decreasing in temperature. uh they say when they, when they have to get treatment, that people don't have the resources for it really is such a devastating situation and up to 2 and a half months of constant explosions. and as we just heard, people be displaced multiple times. i really don't feel that any civilian and god

though, to say that there is a safe place. how difficult, how dangerous is it for a while? cuz who are trying to do that job right now, and the goal is to strep throat, now i can speak up what, asking the sessional committee of the red cross. we are finding it very difficult to read or else the security guarantees are not there. and we need these be safety guarantees for asked off to be able to safely move around and be confident that they, they will be able to reach people who be impacted by is about teams that just door and feel like varies based off what you minutes hearing what to take place right now, of course they all working in the said places like hospitals in the southern area. but places like the doors have been very challenging for teams to get see. i mean, we do know that there are still civilians that as well, has suggested that it's possible to allow 3 times more aids trucks into garza.

i'm what are your thoughts on, on what the thoughts in off we really welcome it. any increase in a, any increase in the supply costs? the ends were involved because really the problems. and then me say ok so immense. this sort fine ranging things like disposable income, zillow's, he's very quickly being on the wife died since the 2 for rain tablets to purify war talk, hospital beds, a very large range of, of supplies is needed. but we would also like to use arrays that guarantees of safety to be able to redistribute these type of aid is also needed. now we do have a lot of a coming to the street, but we con affectively distribute this to the people who needed it. unfortunately, why haven't you packed and do we know anything about the remaining hostages,

who office for the families, they desperately want them home? that's why they should have any contact with them because that was an issue. at one point we are still calling for our access to the hostages, so that we can do exactly as you said, check on their wellbeing. and so they receive any medical treatment that is required. and very importantly, re establish the contact with their family methods. we work with the bone in facilitating the release of a 109 hostages now, and we are incredibly relieved that we are able to take part in that. but we do know that there are still hostages time to help you. uh huh. and we're continuing to flash to so that they can be for united families spend to where he needs i'm so their protest is, are currently attempting to storm into a city council building in the national capital. bo boyd, in a dispute over 8 election results, police all bluffing the dose of offended them to say, just from guessing the countries present says he will soon given an address to the

nation opposed to us as one of the results of recent apartment. there though seems to be kind of so off of the present moving curtis in one vote. just to give you an update. we've also heard that the nasal, i'm the person, so it started going right into a policy, attended by journalists. and we're bringing more information as that comes in k of has a ropes within the capital city. now the opposition, as students have been protesting for several days, while the s p s h to 5 present monique attempt because when, on the phone, this 5 to 7 days in a row feels like during the strike, we bring you all the latest news. as it comes through here on our c, so stay tuned out. just to remind you, process is are in the template. so the city center

is a more as they develop as they've. they've read a series of riley's near the republicans and election to mission building and the central bell, but that's sausage over a week ago that most places lots so many streets that demonstrate to was occurring, serbian, i'm effect flags and counseling. i'm to government slogan the . i would just go back to our headlines today. we're going back to of course, what's going on in garza, in the west bank christmas, has been essentially cancelled as a holidays. little close of this is the residence way. positives of expressing support for the past is being bombarded in gauze ortiz, middle east bureau chief, may have finished the notion that picks up the story. looks like this. and

beautifully decorated 3 in the middle of best. let him and the spirit of christmas throughout the city where jesus was believe to have been born, hold of celebrating proud. it was last year. here's your christmas celebrations. all across the west bank have been officially cancelled with what is happening in guys, the palestinians here say they do not feel like it's time for facilities in downtown bethlehem where they usually hand and the strings of christmas lights. the workers pull up a pen or a reminder of tragedy and folding in the palestinian and clay, antoine, son of mine, is best the heads for me. or can we cause? same decisions were made at least twice during both in default as violence palestinian mass uprisings against israel. and it is not, it's about solidarity. we are, and both of them or in jerusalem or in my low, i've bought over the palestinian, the people. and we're, i'm not the sort of the so, and so did that. it was dollars of we are still have the same stuff inc. and we

have the, the same cutting in the middle of the square where famous christmas tree is placed every year. preparations are on the way to set up an installation of a different kind. nativity on the rubble. there's nothing that they wouldn't be shown as bombarded by the as the alien aircraft. we are showing baby jesus. why vision mary? carry out him to run away to egypt in order to protect him from the decision that has to be taken by her or those to can or kids and before him. and it is very similar in what's happening as a step. nowadays, the people, the families of taking their kids to assess a place to protect them from that is that are in occupation. christmas is usually high season in bethlehem with crowds of children, foreigners from around the globe. the city has accepted around 1500000 visitors in the 1st 9 months of this year. with

a 1000000 overnighted stays in local hotels. the israel have mass for has changed everything. the financial losses for the city which mainly depends on tourism, are tremendous. every day, every single day we lose $1000.00 us dollars because of the war because of the absence of tourism kind of started in janetta. we are losing 2500000 a day. much it from the tories ministry says the biggest challenge is that the workers, thousands of them involved in all those affected industries. tories themselves souvenir production have lost the source of income. if you go to the social media, you see post people asking for how full financial help for financial support, which is the 1st time that i see such kind of such kind of messages going from out from inside a lot of houses and how about 5 minutes an hour community is most of the shops in

the city. i closed it so unusual to see the streets of bethlehem empty. and the iconic blue gauge shot one location we found open has a history and the reason not to locate stores. 3 generations of one palestinian family have been running it for almost 100 years. they say it is more than just a shot because this place also, it's part of the forward ha, so we don't want to go with both. we come. we open, we see our friends or family, especially the space as opposed to the benefits of jesus. so that's gives us more hope religious ceremonies and introduce all traditions remain intact. you're in this dark christmas, even though they usually packed the churches are far from being so right now, a church backyard is the only place where we found some decorations and answers to how their religious communities seized. the conflicts between israel and thomas, the church, was always against the violence judge that the send button of the senate. but also

we cannot janetta lice if applied to fill a scene in order 5 to visit alien mick violence. you cannot say both, but a scene is violent and all is right. in spite of violence, father rami says, human history has always seemed dark and wide pages. prayers these here he tells me we'll all be about wisdom and the will to make the right choices was never a solution. we pray in this christmas for the peace and the to eliminate the mind that the highest of the leaders of the word. so they will save the humanity, not save their interests, and only god knows how many more palestinians in garza and his riley soldiers will die before the long awaited peace. well, this is not the. 6 time that's best, let him and all of palestine. i'm going through hard times. people say this current crisis is by far the most painful and hard breaking. but as always, especially during christmas, the ra hopes here that's the hard shapes,

like the ones of the past will be overcome and the light will shine through the darkness. reason ocean are all t reporting from bethlehem and merry christmas of the 5 back to all breaking news. i'm so the protest is all currently attempting to sold into a city council building in the national capital. so great and a dispute over an election results. police all blocking the door prevent devastated from getting because the president says law enforcement officers on keeping the situation under control. he said, said is phoning, tell us agency one him and it was about the attempt to vote and the police in europe are bad. the protest is what the results of we some parliamentary elections to be cancelled off of the presence root and coalition, one of the

so it will be bringing a cause more updates as is comes through to give you the latest. we know that the police, instead of a 5, a gas to provide hundreds of opposition supported for entering the capital city council building. of course, they want the elections to be over and the country is corporate. and so those have denied reading the present as on the, which it said on sunday that those things i'm late for lies promoted by political opposition. shielded right. police barricaded themselves inside beltway city, whole fire, and tear gas out of hundreds of opposition, processes, as they broke windows on the entrance of the downtown buildings caused protests of south to open the door and fees as a po to the building with a will they bring you more updates as they progress through out the evening. so

stay tuned with us here on the but i serious gaze out and head over to the apple because the because the north east african nation of easier. but it has been building and um, on other the nile, but egypt says could cut off faithful flows of flow folder to that country. both of those nations have been trading blame for breaking down in a negotiations over the project. ok seen correspond the come go as the details among the a complications of the long disagreements between egypt, ethiopia, and sudan over the grad. if the open renaissance down on denial is that everyone involved has legitimate concerns. the dispute over the project is part of the long standing feud between downstream nations, egypt and sudan, and those upstream, particularly if the ot us or what access to the knobs water, which is considered a lifeline for millions of people living in egypt and so dense. but for the old,

yes, the purpose of the data is electricity production to re live it the o. p as acute image, shortened, but egypt, which already stuff was from war to schools to teach them is considered a metal life. and at the same time, if he has a surcharge, it's right to use water. that's a versus it's cubic feet. saying that it isn't applied to the go see. would any one and accuse this is a bringing a colonial mine stage to go see ations on the operation of the dad. it's of has historical precedent as treating the knowledge as a phone from treaties within colonial pow. wow. great britain, as well as to den direct submitted to threats against it the okay. yeah. if you continues to reject the age of threatening tone, but is it took me into pursuing and hostile attitude to a regional issue, or is it a frantic efforts to preserve its water supply because it just escalated this quote

to the international community to get involved at some point with the united states threatening to withhold development aid to your, if the dispute is not the result, add an agreement, reached beyond the escalates attentions and the complexity of politics. a model of the now time sees a key concern for the continent is what's that and electrical power. 2 things that africa needs the most, many of pin the hopes and power generation and economy developments that have continues to fill the damn. that's how it c o p s as water, the hawks of many on the african continent, stating that the project is not just a damn to generate electricity, is rather a development that will once again bring back. the reach is glorious history. all the while egypt saves the move, is a violation of international laws and nunes, that regulate projects, bolts on the shared basis of international rivers, including the 9. what is kids that it is not a race between countries most in need of war,

total power sources. but evidence rigs, the question of with them is both the vide full and threatening to feel p a and a to speak to the part of say, on the continent, the no 5 for the nation of 2 news here is hold in 1st local elections since adopting a new constitution, last year the president has been promoting a bought some ops system of governance whereby citizens can directly express that concerns. so i'm influential local counsel that that much the son there was a council representing all 2 nations. it will be close to the citizens in the initial unit, which is the dean. re, from that local council should emerge leading to regional councils and then to district councils and sharing the desired integration among all segments of society and between all regions. this is the purpose of establishing. the 2nd counsel in the dean re, the elected member will be part of the local council, closely connected to the citizens conveying their aspirations. i'm working towards

realizing them in the regional council and subsequently in the district council that i think a said this over the composition of new local and regional councils they into will represent citizens from those areas and the respect to provincial government. some politicians have rejected their presence initiative and cold for blake was all the elections 2 years ago, the present, dissolving parliament and the move the crisis, or critics. so a power as a power grab some of those residents however, are hopeful of the current elections will bring about to improve and full the country chapter to see and the such an easy and people are tired of initiatives of the name prevented. we expect this renewal to be positive. the positive aspect is relying on the use as a whole society, so use of the source of energy for the country. therefore, we are pleased with these selections. i look forward to back to days should be able

to attend. the selection will help us a lot. in the growth and improvement of the country, there will be a means to convey our voices which have not yet been heard to demand better roads, infrastructure and sanitation. when he said, when we are from the international relations research, a bishop in the he says, trinity is present, is building a roadmap for the country's future. it must include the interest of everyone, the good. this selection is not the the show just of pollution. but if you can bypass the or position that you need. yeah, i see that the number of the traditional that those who moses was just 10 percent. so maybe it's better to have domestic quest say, why don't you lose? yeah, no, no, no, it may be this number of smokers. i see. this is the best question. i think. as i said, we'd be eh, certainly, because because the condition,

i don't up to lose also this i said give us, i know that question how to be, how it could be me on how to be, how can i see this is the issue and this is the question, and i think that the site may go to it's not as he's making at all this step, but i think that's making the go back to the best. busy is to. busy maximum of to use yeah. included in these arrows my find, so i recognize i'm savvy. a protest is all currently attempting to solve into a city council building in the national capital belgrade and a dispute over an election results visa blocking. and it also provides a demonstration from getting through because i need it from amazon to, which is says law enforcement offices of keeping the situation under control. he

said fine intelligence services are the ones in advance about the attempted vote. and the police will provide a want that rights is, would be arrested. he will set aside the russian for having given him a heads up about individuals allegedly posted a revolution and sub you. the process is one of the results of recent parliamentary elections to be cancelled off the presence of ruling coalition, one, the i e. and so now let's plus live 2 colleagues on the have it cheese a. m p as part of the me class is all right, so a sub impala man, but i was on the parish i was on to thanks for joining us now. we hear the cries of protest as have been attempting to break into the bug way. city council building, can you bring your play in your thoughts on what's going on? yeah, obviously uh, obviously the pro western uh coalition is attempting a color revolution scenario.
