city of their elbow law, at least 6 people, including a journalist, were killed by israel, a showing on a showing on saturday. that's according to the red crescent humanitarian group on the site, the mounting civilian casualties as well as the prime minister says the onslaught will not be ending any time soon. they come to be, 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. meanwhile, in southern does, the idea of says it has rated how much headquarters in the city of con eunice. israel claims the facility belongs to the militant groups. intelligence chief,

the regions, largest city, has become an area of intense fighting after israel, extended as military operation to that part of the enclave. many local as have since been forced to sleep. and while there is no festive sphere to speak of in con eunice, here's what some palestinians have said about their wishes for 2024. ok. so let's go ahead consent as the valley. and we hope the new year brings peace and prosperity without was will fighting. hopefully no more children or women will be killed. a widowed father. we pray that peace is fulfilled all over the world and then send and lock on 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 pitching. and then you almost selling item by which piece for the whole will. and the johnson's return safely to the homes with the families, enable the displaced return and enjoy peace and tranquility. i wish the world

interest of jobs and houses and planning 9 of innocent civilians who are giving them the whole people them to do on its own people and doesn't get an order was a mistake. they understand that they have been subject to to that because of the patient and they hold records for patient was comfortable. and it's very difficult to be optimistic fucking guy that i can can do that. people are extremely a viewing body for palestinian refugees as warrens that garza is just weeks away from a mass famine that says nearly half of all civilians there are already said to be on the verge of starvation. the guys and health ministry states that nearly 2000000 people almost. they enclave. an entire population like basic necessities. the model of the house ministry warrants of a prospect of farming and behind ration of more than one point. 9000000 displaced people select proper accommodations for more medicine and safety will provide me with an increasing number of palestinians are also arriving in the southern dies in

border city of rossa, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. there this, this footage shows a local school which has been converted to a make shift of shelter this one of many for hundreds of displaced civilians. families are forced to live in the hands, submit a critical lack of access to basic supplies you and says israel has been obstructing the delivery and the distribution of humanitarian aid. several refugees in rasa spoke to us, was really not as palestinians. we refused to accept the suffering we are currently enduring. even palestinian children are rejecting the harsh realities we face the land line with them on the reconstruction of gaza. as the situation has become extremely grim and difficult to him, of even children can no longer go to school or live a healthy, normal life. oh wow. because the kids and let's see what is happening in gaza today . and the current situation is much larger than during the non though,

and 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 . is he in the look 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 should die. it was done from here. we can die on this land and we will not leave palestine. the pro palestinian demonstrations are gathering momentum around the world with the war in gaza now into it's 13 to week one. such a protest took place in london were hundreds of people took the streets of the british capital capital to demand a cease fire in the palestinian enclave. solidarity was caused by things on ism and it's really, you know, during the holiday time, especially because it's very easy for these

people because this is a call against imperialism. dining with says, i'm not sure that we touch isn't is a genocide and mass demonstrations. we're also held in australia and spain as local as marston way depaula, sending flags. hundreds of people gathered outside the latter as foreign ministry,

demanding quote, just to send a truce in gaza, or tens of thousands of australians in melbourne called for an end to these rarely killing of palestinians. unless acknowledge them, it is not reflecting in stride in people. the starting point one pace these driving people say in ages of children, big tools of family, things on it. they say kids without parents being discharged from the hospital with no, i'm the guy to and the government, elaine did subordinate strength and the bombing and the killing as way was design this and then says stop the cleanings on that. that'd be fine. now, minutes and yahoo and his accomplices should be sold before the international criminal court. so i knew we will see them on the spanish government to add more effectively to scope the genocide in palestine. and there should be sanctions and avoid court in the israel. israel should not be part of the international community,

small civilized nations office of what it is do a no. this is the only option we have left to protest against the genocide that israel is committing against the palestinian people. we citizen his have no other option in his christmas day speech to the world earlier this week, pope francis to cried what he called a quote to appalling a harvest of innocent lives in gaza. is really prime minister, however, had a very different message to share about who his troops are, apparently 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. we're facing monsters. i want to thank you for your support. i want to thank you for your prayers. traditional christmas festivities in the west bank for canceled this year in solid, there the with the war victims in gaza. r t 's maria from ocean of reports now from

where the season was 1st brought into being over 2000 years ago. a beautiful and decorated 3 in the middle of bethlehem and the spirit of christmas throughout the city where jesus was believed to happen more and full 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 of 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 unfolding in the palestinian and clay. antoine, son of mine, is best the hens 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 lovely, i've bought over the palestinian, the people and we,

i'm not the sort of the so and so did that. it was 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 is the alien 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 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 are tremendous. every day, every single day, we lose $1000.00 us 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 in all those affected industries, tories themselves. so many 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 uh from inside a lot of houses. um,

how about 5 minutes an hour community is. 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 our hard, 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 whole religious ceremonies and introduce all 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 answer as to how their religious communities seized. the conflicts between israel and thomas,

the church was always against the i. let's just say that the same. that's not the same, but also we can not generalize if a positive palestinian, or 5 to visit alien 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 was never a solution. uh we pray and this christmas for the piece and the to illuminate 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 rarely soldiers will die before the long awaited peace. well, this is not the 1st time that's best. let him and all of palestine 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 hard shapes like the ones of the past, will be overcome and the light will shine through the darkness. reason ocean are all the reporting from bethlehem and merry christmas all the russian military has responded to the deadly selling of civilians in belgrade by bombing military sites inside ukraine. that's according to the latest from the defense ministry in moscow, which says the ukrainian officers response for saturdays cross border strike have now been killed to the unit yesterday. ukrainian armed forces use multiple on truck it systems to strike the city of belle grove. this result of the killing of civilians including children. in response to this terror attack, the russian armed forces he had command and control center and military objects

used by the criminal key for his team. in the city of hartford. on saturday ukraine unlaced seemingly indiscriminate and the massive round of selling on the russian border. city of belgrade, scores of civilians were head with 24 pounds fed, so far more than 100 others wounded. russian officials have called it an act of terrorism. the sewage is over to 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. since your tv cameras in belgrade captured this dramatic a scene of a mother using her own body to shield her children during the attack. afraid of being caught in the fall out, she pushed her infant out of the stroller and grabs her other child as they run for shelter. here's what one person that to say about. they attacked his days before the new year, a misery. well, you know, i said it was, i wasn't home at the time of the explosions because i have guests from the neighborhood. but i work here the central market and i'm an intent for now. 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 india has reported. they urge the g 7 countries to delay their ban on imports or russian diamonds, calling incoming rules and tracing. the origins of the gems,

unclear industry is crucial for india is economy, which is home to some 90 percent of the worlds and diamond refining businesses. are teaser engine sharma takes up a story in the west and the 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 work done and in the suite, the city of rough in the west. dorothy redesign 7000 more. and in fact, please that employees here workers comp policy says just don't know if it's in around to run for generations. 90 percent was caught like be in the city. so right now the decision by the g 7 to ban russian, diamonds,

millions employed in the sector. denise nevada, deal alone with other industry leaders. met with the g 7 a few months ago. she was in sue's up the told the block that the decision would be a disaster for millions and the state venue then. but i seemed of so many, but 1st jobless and these families. and so probably the same side does 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 j seventy's and then sure it's diamond industry could collapse to 1000 print to 60 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. so while i for india in the industry have to collectively find solutions to this. it's complicated because

india not only fall issues, but also treat men seated cross legs on mattresses behind wooden desk. with an eye, blas sneezes and calculators, they have our normal size in food. all these men also explored 40 percent of wallace, diamonds to jew 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 some band in the gym all just for some interest. as most of the was diamond creed, goals to the belgian city. i'm to up 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 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 from me to send the reading to more recently, you know, because they did the biggest office and do was with dime was would be treated. india clearly wanting to minimize the potential disruptions caused by the time for diamond phones and blowing millions of people. and the implementation of this then successful or not will not be depend on india. without the

serbia where, amid ongoing anti government protests positive, which has 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 developing survey and see how to raise the growth rate and how to make serbia move forward to be thousands of people have in raleigh hanging in the survey and capital demanding a rerun of the recent parliamentary vote, which the incumbent president's party officially one protest as claimed the election was stolen and accusation vehemently denied by bill grades. and while the number of the demonstrators waved serbian flags, pro western slogans were out in force to. some of the protest turned in violence

techniques of the might done cool is this is part of the hybrid war. i would like to stress that on type bells, right forces acted 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 argentina's new presidents, how the mila is shaking up the country with a so called shock therapy, economic over home protest against the reforms that were wrapped in in the eastern city of morrow to apply to the political opposition says the spending cuts are unconstitutional, and a violation of mr. miller's campaign of pledges a hundreds of demonstrators and gathered and next to a city theater ahead of the leaders arrival. citizens were outraged by
