desperately hoping to find survivors. while in the nearby central johnson city of darrow belong, at least 6 people, including a journalist, were killed by his release showing on saturday. that is, according to the red crescent humanitarian grouping. despite the mounting civilian casualties, israel's prime minister, so easily on slots will not be ending any time. so i mean, come up 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 moss and the release of all these rarely hostages as well. let's turn attention to southern dallas. it'd be id, i've said has rated a how most headquarters in the city of con eunice,

israel themes. the facility belongs to the militant grouping's intelligence chief. the regions largest city has become an area of intense fighting after israel extended its military operation to that part of the info. many local substance being forced to flee a mile. there's no festive spared to speak of income units. here's what some palestinians have said about their wishes for 2024. so let's go here consent as the value and we hope the new year brings peace and prosperity without was fighting. hopefully, no more children or women will be killed a widowed father. we pray that peace is fulfilled all over the well, then incentive law. the often with the shutter no reasonable person can have we should have made the car and conditions except for also valuable from this catastrophe. we are currently suffering from. we refused to be looked at with pity, and then you almost salon item by which piece for the whole world and the guns return safely to the homes with the families enable the displaced return and enjoy peace and tranquility. i wish the world

a happy new year and may join the shed globally. i wish the goals and this can be happy together with this free will talk about local reporter after them. i'll satari to in this more about this situation and can you this a sentiment to people in gaza entering a new year? if there is any progress reports which has been targeted 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 choosing from you and it sort of could you come that off of which slides us 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 gaining the upper hand as they have been describing. it doesn't feel flags and it has been a cubing. great thing in the sense of the military perspective,

it looks like they have been continuing the very same policy or targeting civilians . they're starting to entrust objects and houses and planning 9 of innocent civilians who are living in the home. people them to do and it's on people in doesn't get an order, was a mistake. they understand that they have been subject to to that because of the suppression and they felt better to patient, comfortable. and it's very difficult to be optimistic. but then does that. i can tell you that people are extremely well the human body for palestinian refugees has one that does a is just weeks away from a mass funding says nearly half of. busy all civilians there are already said to be on the verge of starvation. the gals in the health ministry states that nearly 2000000 people, that's all, most the entire population of the strip, like basic necessities come out of the house, ministry warrants of a prospect of famine and the hydration of more than one point. 9000000 displaced people who elect, proper accommodation, food were medicine and safety for me. what the,

what are the increasing number of palestinians are also arriving in the southern gals in border city, a for alpha, exacerbating issue military and crisis there. this footage shows a local school which has been converted to a mix, shift shelter, just one of many, for hundreds of displaced. civilian families are forced to live in tents and that a critical lack of access, the basic supplies, the u. n. c's, israel has been obstructing the delivery of distribution of humanitarian aid. several refugees in the roof had told us about the hardships. their insurance was not as palestinians. we refused 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. oh, well,

because the kids 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 displays 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 p. and you'll know 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 stunned from here. we can die on this land and we will not leave palestine. in his christmas day speech to the world earlier this week. hope frances? the cries, what he called the quotes appalling harvest of innocent lives in garrison. these really prime minister, however, a very different message to sure to, but who history sort of point 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 a council this year in solidarity with the board victims in gaza. ortiz me, if an auction to reports now i from where the season was 1st brought in to be over 2000 years 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 this year, christmas celebrations all across the west bank have been officially canceled with what is happening in guys. i'm palestinians here say they do not feel like it's time for facilities in downtown bethlehem where they usually hang and the strings of christmas lights. the workers pull up have been, are a reminder of tragedy and folding in the palestinian and clave. are antoine,

son of mine is bethlehem's form and they are here. we cause same decisions were made at least twice during both in default as violence, palestinian and mass uprisings against israel. and it is not it's about so the diary t v r and both of them or in jerusalem or in my lovely, i've bought over the palestinian, the people and we, i'm of the sort of a so and so did that it to dollars of we are still 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 setup and installation of a different kind nativity on the rubble. this nothing that they wouldn't be shown as bombarded by the is 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 bethlehem. and that this is very

similar in what's happening and goes through nowadays the people, the families of taking the kids to assess a place to protect them from the is that are in an occupation. christmas is usually high season in bethlehem with crowds of tearing 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 tremendous. every day, every single day. we lose $1000.00 new as dollars because of the war because of the absence of sort of the kind of standing jeanetta. 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

. so many production have lost the source of income. if you go to the social media, you see, pose 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. um, 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 the 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 to shop because this place also it's part of our heart. so we don't want to go with both. we come. we open, we see our friends or family, especially the space. it's opposed to the benefits of jesus. so that's gives us

more hope religious sacrament is and introduce our traditions remain intact during 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 same, that's not the sense. but also we can not generalize if a positive palestinian or 5 to face that only a mic 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, will all be about wisdom and the will to make the right choices. what is the solution? uh, we pray in this christmas for the peace and the to eliminate the mind that the have . so for the leaders of the word, so they will save the humanity,

not save their interests. and only god knows how many more palestinians in gaza and his railey 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 the heart shaped like the ones of the past will be overcome . and the light will shine through the darkness. reason, ocean, all the reporting from bethlehem and merry christmas. the pro palestinian demonstrations are gathering momentum around the world with the war and gals and now into it's 13 week one. such protests took place in london for hundreds of people took to the straits of the british capital to the mother cease fire in the

policy. so there was a fighting gun is really, you know, during the holiday time, especially because it's very easy for these people because this is a quote against imperialism. dining with says, i'm not sure that we had isn't it is

a genocide and slow mass demonstrations are also held in australia and spain as local is march and wave palestinian flags. hundreds of people gathered outside the lotteries party administrator, demanding full justice alike truce and goes a full tens of thousands on the left of your screen. there is trillions in melbourne called for an end to these really killing a policy unless acknowledge them. it is not reflect the meanest right in people, the striking people, one pace these running people say images of children being killed, the families, they don't, they say kids without parents being discharged from a hospital with no on the go to. and they want out government related support, and it's great the end, the bombing and the killing is we want the site to this and then stop the kennings that, that'd be fine now. and that's in yahoo and his accomplices should be pulled before

the international criminal court. we will see the demand, 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. the israel is committing against the palestinian people. we citizens have no other option. moving than use are all know at least $24.00 civilians, including children, were killed in the russian border. city of belgrade on saturday by ukrainian shelling more than

a 100 were also left wounded or the business is over to today we witnessed the heaviest consequences of showing by the ukranian 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 grease. i want to make it clear that the enemy will not escape retribution. c, c t. v cameras in belgrade captured a dramatic scene of a mother and using her body to shield her children during the attack. afraid of being caught in the fall like she pulls her infant out of the stroller and grabs her other child as they run for shelter. here's what the locals have to say about the deadly event, just days before the new year. let me agree, well, you know, i wasn't home at the time of the explosion because i have guests from the neighborhood. i work here at the central market and, and tough 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 were alive to john. while the un security council contained an emergency session to discuss the shelling, member states reiterate that that attacks on civilians and residential areas violate. she monitoring little rushes on boy and accuse ukraine of committing an act of tara with a complicity, as well as of western countries. a good, that's good. so that is a way to get a fairly good at the city center and residential areas in belgrade were shelled using cluster munitions from the border city buff. chomsky in the car could region one of the goals of ukraine and myself and targets was a sports complex called the number in belgrade. where's children's gymnastic classes were taking place? and now the target was an ice rink in the city center where there were parents and children. ukrainian service are also tech belgrade state university. in order to increase the number of casualties they use cluster munitions including to me size, but this prohibitive munition,

as well as being part of missiles produced by check. yeah. and dusk, we see 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 attack reco. we insight into authorities of present the ukraine to commit crimes. as soon as the e u countries are also responsible for it, which directly and be responsible, continued to bump up the granting and 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 belgrade. 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 civilian 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 resume of terror. we mentioned this, but suddenly when they build up as we begin the special military operation to stop what cube has been doing and done best for 8 years, showing series and populated areas with impunity. and you didn't want to notice that 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 t if will inevitably face persecution. recall and all responsible governments and relevant international structures to come out with a strong condemnation of this approval terrorist attack committed using cluster munitions bent in most western countries and publicly distance themselves from the key of freedom 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 meeting. 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 emphasized that there would not be a military solution to the conflict, a new brain, 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. 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 it the prospect of further escalation. we are very concerned about the recent reports, system and the practice that was due to mental consequences of these concrete, such as the laws of human life and the gravity, monday tide and c position, destruction of the property. and probably being 1st was do 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, western country is just repeated their monitor up, that the civilians died and their death is on the blame of russia. because russia launched its special military operation. now, the ukrainian representative on the east and repeated these ty, rates against russia, but russian and bass are. 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 were crimes being carried out by the forces they back while they repeat the same old tired montrose blaming russia for everything. you know, the story to bring you india has reportedly urged g 7 countries to delay their bond on imports of russian diamonds, calling incoming rules and tracing the origins of the gems. unclear the industry is crucial for india is economy, which is home to some 90 percent of the world's diamond refining businesses. our teacher engine shawna takes up the story. the wisdom leg group of 7 countries has announced a direct band on russian diamonds starting january 1st,

followed by fees and restrictions on in direct and boats or russian gems from around march. this is the cause of the was diamond industry. the city of rough in india of western state of goods are off georgia and we designed 7000 small and medium stock please. that employee skewed the workers who got and foliage these precious stones and all edged in and around to up for generations. 90 percent was caught in the city. 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. here in sue dropped. the told the block that the decision would be

a dissolved still for millions and the state venue then. but us end of so many but 1st job list and this family. and so 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 1000 for and 60 percent of diamonds in india come from russia and 80 percent of our industry works on small diamonds bank . many people may lose their jobs and then we can't let that happen to me while i for india and the industry have to collectively find solutions to this. it's complicated because india not only fall issues, but also treat men seated crosslegged on mattresses behind wooden desk or we didn't. i lost a better squeezes and calculators in their hands are normal size in food. all

these men also explored 40 percent of polish diamonds to jew 7 nations. but the group is to introduce traceability based level vacation for rough diamonds by september, next year that you have on to now stated we've combining the jim, i'll just personal interest. as most of the was diamond creed, goals to the belgian city. i'm too old with now the use on board because business has gone down as washing and boats to belgium have fallen das, the timing of the band. it scale the previous sanctions and russian fuel cold caviar what i have simply northwards and 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 antwerp 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 explore that process, diamonds 5 minutes into reading 2 more. the recently inaugurated the biggest office in the was with diamonds would be treated india clearly wanting to minimize the potential disruptions caused by the time for diamond phones employing millions of people and the implementation of this them successful or not will not be depend on india. okay, from south asia to serbia where a major, ongoing anti government protest, president boucher, it shows total of 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 developing survey and see how to raise the growth rate and how to make serbia move forward to be well solid. since how been rolling and the serbian capital demanding a re run of the recent parliamentary vote, which the incumbent president party officially won protesters lamb the election was stolen, accusation vehemently denied by downgrade on while the number of the demonstrators waved serbian flags for western slogans. were either and forced to some of the protest are invited with an attempted storming of the government headquarters seen earlier in the week.

the . this was an attempt to its violence to take over 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 attempt of the collective best to shake up the situation in serbia using the techniques of the my dental office. this is part of the hybrid work. i would like to stress the on type bells, right? forces act as almost single tenuously. the operate on to process. this is the

situation and costs of attempts at the might not cool. here in belgrade, the thing with a story. we also heard from the story be an american journalist and the voice and knowledge. he believes western intelligence has infiltrated sections of the political opposition in serbia and people who are involved in these protests or professional activities at the all these western organizations that essentially have a bought and paid for come out of civil activist, serbia who again don't have drops and they pretends 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 electric fort for the actual working people for the actual citizens, i would understand, but they go around all of these went pro western media outlets insulting everybody
