the and those are, are headlines stories on this, the last day of 2023. let's get into them right now. here on our to introduction overnights is really strikes on central gals that have reportedly killed at least 12 people in the ton of, of the way to yourself a local official describe the green aftermath. i'm not sure what pulled out 9 march is when members of a very peaceful family. 2 adjacent houses where it targeted the civil defense doesn't have the necessary equipment in particular haven't machinery, like bulldozers, silverland volunteers, and private companies. distressing images from the scene show the body of a child being taken away from the burial locals. how being scrambling through the rubble all destroyed buildings, desperately hoping to find survivors while in the nearby central gas and city of

darrow by law. at least 6 people, including a journalist, were killed by his release showing on saturday. that's according to the posted in red, crescent humanitarian grouping. despite the main thing, civilian casualties, israel's prime minister stays the on slots, will not be ending any time soon. i mean, come in, said the war is in full swing, we are fighting on all fronts with great success, but we are also paying a painful price. achieving victory requires more time. as the chief of staff has said this week, the war will continue for many more months. my policy is clear. we will fight until the completion of all the objectives of the war and above all, the elimination of a mosque and the release of all these rarely hostages. and meanwhile, in southern dallas, it'd be an idea of size. it has rated a must headquarters in the city of con eunice. israel claims the facility belongs

to the militant grouping's intelligence chief. while the regions largest city has become an area of intense fighting after israel extended its military operation to the part of benefits. many locals have since been forced to flee, and while there's no festive expert to speak of income units, here's what some palestinians have said about their wishes for 2020. so look forward to send us the valley and we hope the new year brings peace and prosperity without was fighting. hopefully no more children or women will be killed, a widow. we pray that peace is fulfilled all over the world. and son in law, the often with the shutter, no reasonable person can have, we should have made the car and conditions except for us the volleyball from this catastrophe. we are currently suffering from. we refused to be looked at with pity . and then i'm a salon or them by which piece for the whole world, and the guns return safely to their homes with the families, and they will the displaced return and enjoy peace and tranquility. i wish the

world a happy new year and may join betia globally. i wish the goals and this can be happy together with this free will. a local reporter i from also tardy, told us more about the situation in can units. and the general sentiment of people in gal so entering a new year, if there is any progress reports which have been talking to, to add from the south from the east and also from the hospital to advance into the area. they have been kind of getting different, the place has been children, can you understand if you do come that's off of which was awesome for me to what? off and on most top of which i suspect and bear with many of the display people attend, the fire could be hit to out the whole night. but it doesn't feel like up to this particular moment that isn't as gain in the upper hand as they have been describing . it doesn't feel flattered. they have been executing great things and the sense of the military perspective. it looks like they have been continuing the bodies and

policy or targeting civilians. the starting to entrust objects and houses and planning 9 of innocent civilians who are living in the home. people them 10 units on people and goes out and get her out of order was a mistake. they understand that they have been subject to to that because of the patient and they feel better to patient, comfortable. and it's very difficult to be optimistic fucking guy that i can can do that. people are extremely well the un body for palestinian refugees has won the gals that is just weeks away from a mass farming thoughts as nearly half of all civilians. there are already said to be on the verge of starvation. the gals and health ministry states that nearly $2000000.00 almost the entire population of this trip life basic necessities come out of the house, ministry warrants of a prospect of farm and behind ration of more than one point. 9000000 displaced people collect proper accommodation for more medicine and safety. you will find me

whatsoever. the increasing number of palestinians are also arriving in the southern gals, in border city of the rough uh, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis there. this footage shows a local school which has been converted to a mix, shift shelter, just one of many, for hundreds of display citizens. families are forced to live in tents and that a critical lot of access to basic supplies. the u. n. c's, israel has been obstructing the delivery of distribution off. you monitoring a separate refugees in that office had told us about the hardships there, injury was spotless stadiums. we refuse to accept the suffering we are currently enduring. even palestinian children are rejecting the harsh reality. we face with them on the reconstruction of gaza as the situation has become extremely grim and difficult. even children can no longer go to school or live a healthy, normal life. because the key and let's see what is happening in gaza today. and the

current situation is much larger than during the knock about comparing the number of casualties in this war to those 2 in the knock. but the number of displaced people living gaza is much higher when people talked about displacement for one to say to resist. and none of us will be forced off this line in the little more of sure why i'm sure we can die on this land. no one will take us away from this land . i came from sure jaya was done from here. we can die on this land and we will not leave palestine. no, in his christmas day speech to the world earlier this week. as you may have seen, pope from says the cries what he called a coat, appalling harvest of innocent lives in guns. these really prime minister, however, have a very different message to share by to his troops or a part of the targeting to christian friends around the world. merry christmas christmas is supposed to be a time of goodwill to all men and peace on earth. while we don't have peace on

earth, not on our part anyway. and we certainly don't see goodwill to all men were facing monsters. i want to thank you for your support. i want to thank you for your prayers. well, the traditional christmas festivities in the west bank were cancelled this year in solidarity with the board victims and gals. and our tease me if an option to reports not from where the season was 1st brought into being over 2000 years ago and beautifully decorated 3 in the middle of bethlehem and the spirit of christmas throughout the city where jesus was believed to have been born of celebrating proud h was last year misty or christmas celebrations, all across the west bank have been officially canceled 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 hank and the strings of christmas lights, the workers pull up have been, are a reminder of tragedy and folding in the palestinian and clay. and tom,

son of mine is bethlehem's form and they are here. we cause same decisions were made at least twice during both and default as violence, palestinian and mass uprisings against israel. and it is not, it's about solidarity. we are and both of them or in jerusalem or in my lovely i bought over the palestinian, the people and we, i'm not the sort of the so and so did that it to dollars of we also have the same stuff inc and we have the, the same cutting in the middle of the square with 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 or 80 and aircraft. we are showing baby jesus. why vision mary? carry out him, do it on a way to egypt in order to protect him from the decision that has to be taken by her or those to can or kids and bethlehem. and that this is very similar in what's

happening and goes through nowadays the people, the families of taking their kids to assess a class to protect them from the is that are in an 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 dollar because of the war because of the absence of tourism. kind of stunning. 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 and all those of back to the industries tories themselves

souvenir production have lost the source of income. if you go to the social media, you see post people asking for has 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 and i'll come in, it does most of the shops in the city. i closed it so a new job to see the streets of bethlehem empty. and the iconic blue gates 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 heart. 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 that religious community sees. the conflicts between israel and thomas, the church is always against the violence judge that the same, that's not the same as, but also we can not generalize. if a positive philistine in or above the fees are usually a mixed 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 have so for the leaders of the of words. so they will save the humanity, not says their interests. and only god knows how many more palestinians in gaza and his riley soldiers will die before the long awaited peace. well, this is not the 1st 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 as well in the wider world pro palestinian demonstrations, their gathering momentum with the war and gals, and not by the way into a 13th week. let's show you some of the scenes. this is london. hundreds of people took to the straits of the british capital to demand the cease fire and the

palestinian in place. so solid is so there was fighting dynamism and it's really during the holiday time, especially because it's very easy for these by the way because it's difficult against imperialism dining with patients and to show that we touch isn't is

a genocide full mouth demonstrations. we're also held in australia and spain, as locals march, then wave posted in flight. hundreds of people gathered outside the laughter as far administered the monday justice and a truce and gals that while on the left of your screen there, that's the 10s of thousands of us trillions in melbourne, calling for an end to this really killing public. acknowledge them, it is not reflect the meanest right in people the starting people, one pace these. right. and they both say in ages of children, they killed a family, things on a pot. they say kids without parents being discharged from a hospital with no, i'm the guy to and i was out. government related support and it's great the in the bombing and the killing and we want the site and then stop the kennings that that'd

be fine now. and that's in yahoo and his accomplices should people before the international criminal court, we will see them on the spanish government to add more effectively to scope the genocide in palestine. and there should be sanctions and a boy quote from the israel. israel should not be part of the international community or civilized nations of to what it is doing. this is the only option we have left to protest against the genocide that israel is committing against the palestinian people. we citizens have no other option. okay, moving the program will know at least $24.00 civilians, including children, were killed and in the ukrainian shelling of the russian border. city of belgrade on saturday. more than a 100 people are also left. when did the

sewer do today, we witnessed the heaviest consequences of showing by the ukrainian armed forces of the past 2 years. i sincerely offer my deepest condolences to all the families of the victims. i understand that there are no words that can come for that grace. i want to make it clear that the enemy will not escape retribution. to, let's see. see tv cameras in belgrade capture that dramatic scene of a mother using her body to shield her children during the attack. afraid of being caught in the full light, she pulls her infant out of the store and grabs her other child as they run for shelter. here's what the locals have to say about the deadly show. me is really well, you know, i wasn't home at the time of the explosion because i have guests from the

neighborhood that i work here, the central market and i'm an intent for the my call was left for the night. i came to where i wanted to take my child home, but now it looks like this. it's a pity that the call was damaged, but at least where our lives on the un security council contained an emergency session to discuss the deadline. shelling of belgrade member states reiterate that the attacks on civilians. a residential areas violate, she monetary envelope rushes envoy, choose the plan of committing an active tara with the complicity of some western countries. well, let's go with the family. but at the city center and residential areas in belgrade were shell using cluster munitions from the border city buff. chance in the car could region one of the goals of ukraine and myself and targets. it was a sports complex called the namo in belgrade. where's children's nested classes were taking place? and now the target was a nice spring in the city center where they were parents and children. ukrainian

service are also a tech belgrade state university in order to increase the number of casualties they use, cluster munitions including to me sizes, but this prohibitive munition, as well as being part of missiles produced by check yet and dusk, with the deliberate indiscriminate combined detect against a civilian c, i want to once again emphasize we're not looking at a strike on the military targets, which happens to kill civilians. this was a deliberate act of terrorism. we know that british and american advisors are directly involved in the organization of this terrorist attacked reco. we insight into authorities of present the ukraine to commit crimes. the e u countries are also responsible for it, which directly into responsible continued to bump up the ukranian ruling. click with weapons and emergency meeting of the un security council convenience to discuss the issue of the shelling of civilians and the russian city of bel override . the ukrainian forces were targeting civilians attacking civilian infrastructure, and this was something that russian ambassador to ben z a brought to the attention

of the un security council, the 15 member by that leads the united nations. he pointed out that while russia does not engage in these behaviors, but is frequently accused of doing so, we have a case of ukraine blatantly attacking civilians. something they've been doing. ever since the elected government was toppled in the 2014 to sparking and setting the stage for events that led to the current conflict to describe the ukrainian forces and the ukraine government as a result of terror. we mentioned this, but suddenly when i build up as we begin the special military operation to stop what cube has been doing and done passport 8 years showing series and populated areas we've implemented in this. and you didn't want to notice it. this can only be achieved by defeating that service region, which ultimately boast of using terry's methods against its own and russian citizens. all the organizers and perpetrators of this and other crimes by key if will inevitably face persecution, recall and all responsible governments and relevant international structures to come out with a strong condemnation of disapproval. terrorist attack committed using cluster

munitions bent in most western countries and publicly distance themselves from the key of fusion and its western creators who commit such crimes. i would like to remind you of the very accurate matter for use by the polish president. during the high level meetings, he compared ukraine to a drowning man contract everyone, he graphs to the bottom. today we see the landscape of lack and other new and not through apple trying to drag down not only the people of ukraine, but also those who give the military equipment and supplies. now, other countries represented on the council emphasize the need for negotiations. and the mon, the loss of civilian life and death in conflict, they emphasize that there would not be a military solution to the conflict in ukraine, but rather negotiations needed to produce a political end to diplomatic one. we reiterate that international humanitarian law must be upheld at all times. civilians must be protected and constant care taken to spare them from military operations. civilian objects must not be the target of

attacks as these air strikes showed that nearly 2 years into the war and ukraine. the very real risks of its spreading remain a matter of grave concern. unless this conflict is halted. the new year brings with the prospect of further escalation. we are very concerned about the recent reports on the practice that were on the 2 mental consequences of these concrete, such as the laws of human life and the gravity monday, side, and situation. the structure of the property and probably can for us which for us structures to, into the west and day by day found to cut off, we support a deeper model and then negotiate solutions between the 2 neighboring countries. now the western country is just repeated, their monitor of the, the civilians died and their death is on the blame of russia because russia lost its special military operation. now, the ukrainian representative on the east end repeated these tie raids against

russia, but russian and basque there. and eventually i was quick to point out that there was bleeding evidence of ukraine for us as targeting civilians. he held up to our coats, linking those, watching the un meeting to video, revealing the blatant atrocities being committed by ukrainian forces and calling out western leaders for the fact that they are ignoring atrocities and ignoring crimes against humanity. war crimes being carried out by the forces they back while they repeat the same old tired montrose blaming russia for everything. okay, and the best way to bring you india has reportedly urge g 7 countries to delay their bond on imports of russian diamonds, calling incoming rules, increasing the origins of the gems on clear the industry is crucial for india is economy, which is home to some 90 percent of the world diamond refining businesses, artesia engine. charlotte takes off the story. the wisdom leg group of 7 countries

has announced a direct band on russian diamond starting january 1st, followed by fees and restrictions on in direct and boards of russian gems. from around march. this is the cost of the was diamond industry. the city of rough in india of western state of goods are off georgia and we design 7000 small and medium stock please. that employee skewed stevie workers who got i'm fullest, these precious stones and all edged in and around to up for generations. 90 percent was like be in the city. so right now the decision by the g 7 to russian diamonds, millions employed in the sector. denise nevada deal along with other industry leaders, met with the g 7, a few months ago,

sealed into dropped the told the block that the decision would be a dissolved still for millions and the state venue been assumed of so many but 1st god bless. and these families have probably, industry insiders feel that it's unfair, the d b, the price of this you politics. and so they are now looking for ways to cushion the blow of the band with this band by the g 7. sure, it's diamond industry could collapse to 1060 percent of diamonds in india come from russia and 80 percent of our industry works on small diamond bank. many people may lose their jobs and then we can't let that happen to me while i for india in the industry have to collectively find solutions to this. it's complicated because india not only polishes, but also treats men seated cross legged on mattresses behind wooden desk or

with an i lost a better squeezes and calculators in the hands are no move sites in food. all these men also explored 40 percent of bullish diamonds to g 7 nations, but the group is to introduce traceability based level vacation for rough diamonds by september, next year. you have on to now stated, we have combining the gym all just personal interest. as most of the was done when creed goes to the bedroom city, i'm to up with now the use on board because business has gone down as russian and boards to belgium have fallen. das, the timing of the band scale, the previous sanctions on russian fuel cold caviar. what have simply north want on critics now have started doubting the feasibility of the russian diamond bond to. the key points here is that most of the russian diamonds we cut and polish are essentially less than point 5 carats. there should be control over the rough

diamond's coming from russia, but as long as diamonds are processed in india, there should not be further checks or double checks as we can maintain tracking of rough diamonds, refreshing diamonds coming from and to work and other places like dubai. can be used for our exports, this shouldn't disturb the sanctions on russian diamonds. and we should be able to export our process, diamonds 5 minutes, and they're going to move. the recently inaugurated the biggest office and doing was with diamonds would be treated india clearly wanting to minimize the potential disruptions caused by the band for diamond phones and blowing millions of people and the implementation of this them successful or not largely depend on india. ok, i want to go back to europe. finally in serbia, we're a major, ongoing anti government protest. president boucher, it shows told the pro western opposition that their desire for toppling the leadership in the bulk and country will not materialize. on the 1st,

there will be no revolutions, no violent seizure of power. secondly, the people have made it completely clear as to who their supports and to whom they give their vote. and this is of key importance and certainly will try to form the government of the republic of serbia before the end of february or the beginning of march. so that we can start addressing the problems, continue developed in serbia and see how to raise the growth rate and how to make serbia and move forward to be a size and subbing routing in serbia. the capital of a, at demanding a re run of the recent parliamentary votes, which the incumbent president party, a 1st name on protest this time the election was stolen that accusation vehemently denied by bella's raid. on while a number of the demonstrators waved serbian flags pro western slogans arrive in forces. some of the protest also turn violence with an attempt at storming up the government's headquarters senior earlier in the week. the

this was an attempt to its violence. takeover of the state institutions of the republic of serbia. i can only say thank you, but perhaps this will not be understood in the west. but tonight i especially feel that it is important to stand up for serbia and thank the russian special services to have this information and share it with us. the, the attempts of the collective best to shake of the situation in serbia using the techniques of the might done cool is

this is part of the high bridge work. i would like to stress the on type bells, right? forces actors almost single obtaining a fleet. the operate on to from this is the situation and costs of attempts at the might not cool. here in belgrade the well, we also heard from serbian americans are listening portion knowledge. he believes western intelligence has infiltrated the ranks of a political opposition in serbia. people who are involved in these protests or professional act at the all these western organizations that essentially have a bought and paid for come out of civil active business. serbia who again don't have drops and they pretend to be the representative to, to representatives of the working class who are trying to you know, deliver democracy and it's absurd on its face. i mean if they had some sort of respect for the electron foot for the actual working people for the actual.
