China is full, met number 2 dice, the k to your except as china is premier for decades. Until earlier this year, when he was sidelined by president , changing the anatomy, how it welcome. Israels military says it is carried out more ground operations and the strikes and gaza of an israel set of targeted suspected how much positions in the strip to prepare the battlefield for an expected land invasion. Troops and tanks carried out the ride with the backing of jets and runs, as well as military has been pounding gossip relentlessly since the how must terrorist attacks of october 7th, which killed some 1400 people. Almost as of a 7000 palestinians have been killed since they. I mean while the is where the army says the more than 200 people still being held hostage by him, us in gaza. Relatives of the hostages have been pressuring this brand new government to prioritize the overlooks the president s of keyboards because as a demonstrates outside these rate, the defense ministry. Genevieve test was one of many communities attacked on october the 7th, and they want the return of their loved ones to be the number one priority for israel. I was my by the back. Now i one thing say, i want to make sure that the kids taking care of, i want to know what is the condition. I want them know when was that kidnapped . People know who is that . I know, and we do, we know whats, whats happened with the hours or all our picking up from the people. 17 israel is still reading from the scale of the attacks which solved more than 1000. 00. 400 is ready these methods by hamas and other minutes since work is still on going to recover the remains of People Killed hundreds of thousands of his radio. Army reservists, events of the call to defend the homeland civilians. To a following, the governments call to arms. At this rate, the media have reported 150000. 00 deputy cations for gun licenses. Since the attacks to say im here to get a gun to buy much to buy guns and the silver 7 was the trigger to make me to stand at the time to be on sale in order to protect my family and my surroundings. If anyone tries to hold off, israel stays exploded with guys that is secure now. But how mouse and other minutes in groups are still firing rockets into israel. And instead of the press conference organized by the relatives of the hostages is brought to an end by another raj from gaza. Really we took 2 data, believes tenure clean up in jerusalem and asked to how these rarely military strategy is being influenced by a growing pressure from the families of the hostages. Thats right, there is a lot of pressure here um, uh, from the hostage companies, but also in the general public to deal with this hostage crisis. The per, the relatives of the hostages is saying the government is not doing enough to get them back. And also interesting enough, theres some polls that are usually coming out towards the weekend and is really newspapers saying that there is a trend at the Public Opinion says maybe to hold off of the this ground operation. And to see whether, you know, they can be something done about the negotiations. Now weve heard from cut one of the main many h, as in this hostage crisis said our mitigating and directly between our mazda and is read and also egypt isnt, was that there might be some kind of break. So, but that is very much on peoples mind. Vide no, never the last fair hearing also from the is really ami. They made another targeted rate into the gaza strip from the eastern side into says, a area and the eastern side in garza, during the night of this thing targeting the again, in for a structure. They went out again and all of this. Of course again, while the artillery fire continues on the gaza strip, also must have as try campaign on the gaza strip. Also in the south of calls where israel has told 1000 residents to civilian population to seek shelter state of these 10. You claim that reporting from jerusalem that will the United Nations is calling for uninterrupted access to meet the basic needs of civilians in gaza. You ins humanitarian coordinator, says detailed talks around the way with israel to find ways of speeding up deliveries. The wind warns many more people could die if Current Conditions persist. An uncle picks up his nephews body shrouded in white and takes him to the grave. Another young victim of gauze as lessening humanitarian crisis. A little more of this is one of my nephews to my brothers wife and Children Room outage on how the my nephew was injured 2 weeks ago. And because all the crossings are closed for medical evacuations, he passed away the theres no medicine for fiction treatment or no fuel. Busy the doctors did that based off the moment, but the idea of the situation in gaza has turned to one of abject misery, with shortages in everything from water to food and medicine. The guys is, hospitals have been particularly hot, heat victims of these really strikes continue to pour in. Israel says its targeting the terrorist group from us. As the number of wounded civilians rises, the un says newly a 3rd of hospitals have had to close due to damage or like a few the fuse which is needed to pump the water. And how of hospitals is in such short supply that the un has wanted, may have to hold to humanitarian operations. If more doesnt arrive soon, israel says any fuel they allow in could be seized by him us and rejects you and claims that god doesnt have enough. We responded to by referring them to where come us, which governs the gulf industry. It stores fuel both diesel fuel. The other types of the busy and then other types of the fuel is all inside the gulf strip and theres enough for many days. For hospitals then walter comes to run. Only the priorities are different from us prefers to have all the fuel for its wolf. I think it would be that the leading civilians without the leaders around the world debasing what can be done to help civilians who are the ones paying the heaviest price. Lets go to gaza now with journalist housing, but lucia is standing by for us. Hasnt gone over, is receiving only a trickle of the humanitarian it needs. Can you describe for us what conditions a lot for you and all the people in gaza right now. Its very hard seeing dont just read all the places, they all support from complete black out, no electricity, no war to badly coming to the song, places and actual take off of food. So well choose your drinking water. Its very limited and very hard to get like people you need to go far as places do to, to, to fill some, some of the drinking water, no internet, at least sometimes in some areas we get some somebody into the people or q we everything a cream out of water and then every see that the eat a little daily life as people become told me like they become like behind every morning very but more like coming. They feel like a little news and they charge the whole by phones that paper. Uh places if they have sources that werent particularly so note panels and gosh to the market when, when its a bit quiet, no air strikes in the area to buy some food and everything is available in the market and people pick up whatever is available. Theyre supposed to be a tex, continued the un says no way is safe in gaza. So where do you go . Has them when the bombs thoughtful is literally no place . No, there is no place and it saves a gauze according to the to fix that was issued by them. You need to tell us who we are talking about 2600 or even more. And then from that, the total difficult, like they were killed in the south county area, people were asked to, to actually call the cd and the little simple to the south. But still they could be continued. And in my area, there were many strikes like near places, even in the place we are staying at like the one of those where, where smashed we are. Okay. We are now and luckily, but um and then people have because of, of, of that people go to one of our schools, the money where, where, where, where injured or killed even because of some places 6. 00 to at where were head flying by any chance. So a todd and its very, very difficult to find a face to face thing. Awesome. We appreciate your reporting. Gentlest housing brothers from gaza. Thank you waiting. While your opinion leaders are at the brussel summit, calling for a pause in the fighting between these round with how much to get desperately needed. I, disability in gaza. The common declaration calls for the establishment of humanitarian car doors and pauses round, but then a safe spot. He laid his head, struggled to agree on the statements. Precise would fill the tail of what the stomach chapman and president of the you are pain, cancel sha. Michelle said after the agreement was reached volumes. Here we have certainly take a note of the serious deterioration of the humanitarian situation. And we need to develop a number of measures to ensure that there is access to equipment and to aid in this humanitarian crisis, and also the to okay, lets cross to the European Council headquarters in brussels to speak about correspond to alexandra from nama. Now, alexandra, how difficult was it for the latest to reach a common position on the east route . How much conflict . Well, it was apparently, very difficult. Leaders were wrangling over semantics on guys, a full 5 hours going back and forth with some the countries likes pain, insisting that the youth has to call for a durable ceasefire to allows humanitarian aids into g as in other countries. And here, 1st and foremost, germany saying that they are against a ceasefire, that that would lead me to ease or else ability and slides to defend itself. So germany was in favor of human nature and pauses because they could last from an hour, 2 to 4 hours for the instance, and as well would be still able to respond to potential. And so im going attacks by how mosse and india and the leaders leads to cold for humanitarian pauses, and diplomats told us that it was important that words match or that the goal was to gain some credibility in the era world. And at the same time, to make sure to show that the you is standing with israel. However, experts are doubting whether the actors in the region will really know to said the new answers that you appear in the union care. So much about alexandra you are paying late as a back at the negotiating table today of all the many talking points, one of the topics that stand out on the agenda today. They have already spoken about the long term budget for the blog, but this topic is to contentious, so we dont expect any agreement on that. And at the moment of discussion about its okay with 50000000000 euros in the next 4 years. But there are countries such as hungry or a slovak, you that are a part of the blocking of this financial aids. Think of these Brussels Bureau chief alexander phenomena. Thank you so much. Well, the current bill in the middle east has had repercussions around the world. Gemini has been one of is rouse, staunchest supporters due in part to with historical responsibility after the holocaust. But the German Government has also stressed the need to keep the conflict from spreading and to help civilians court in the middle. A jim and his response, following the slow to buy how much that israel is to launch a diplomatic push for stays of to the attacks counselor sold stoled the gym and call him and he was working hard for peace or stay in contact with him. Im in close contact with the gyptian president of cc, who has Communication Channels to gaza. Later today, i will speak to tuck is present in 10 to one. In addition, i will receive the mayor of cut, todd, whose country has an important mediation role, which he plays in these days. So you know, if the sholtes himself went to his room, germany shed as well as greek. He told benjamin netanyahu, but did not want the conflict to spread the ticket to administer president , mister Prime Minister, my government is doing everything for the conflict not to escalate. Its important to prevent a fire spreading in the region. And uh, they go on to friend. Germanys foreign minister and a bad bulk also embarked on an intensive round of crises, diplomacy taking in jordan, israel, lebanon, and egypt to even spoke of the United Nations in new york. All the talking shows germany believes it has an important voice, especially when it speaks in concert with washington. We play a certain role of pores, probably a more important than all other youd be leaders. But we have to see it in this context. I mean, who is the 1st player to my view will remain the united states. When it comes to the middle east, germany is not a neutral country. The nazi holocaust of the jews means the germans bet, a unique responsibility to stand with these rail, especially when its threatened. This was set out by engel, a miracle in a speech. These riley can i say it in 2008. She said, protecting israel is positive. Germanys national interest. It starts the result of you would still guides policy today. Its not, or i think in this situation because because we have this, that this commitment of the shots is all yes, this, this special commitment is real security. Im probably the problematic to, to, to become a mediator via kind of on, is there any is on the side, of course germany was among the countries so sad. No, were not. Theres no way that the going to criticize in this crucial moment is, are all at the same time jim and leaders have long maintained active relations with the palestinians. And the president met with a bass. Gemini, is valued as a donor and an influential european power. But also precisely because of its connection to the leadership in Jerusalem Valley and also has good links with all the arab and muslim nations. Could that be useful in the search for peace doing insanity . We have good relations through the so need states to, to the Sunni Arab States like egypt, jordan, we talking to katara, were talking to turkey and they talking also to ron. So there are some, some connections to gym and governments most direct priority in the current conflict is the phase of at least 8 gym and citizens taken hostage by home us. It is also working to protect the more than 100. 00 gym is registered as living in gaza as it tries to bring those people out of danger. Germany is using old lines of communication to bring an end to blood ship. But from all thats bringing the deputies political correspondent, benjamin elverton, square the code, the benjamin germany become a mediator in the middle east. So many could play a rather limited pod when it comes to mediating and media to roll its connection and close ties with is roland. The fact that germany sees Israel Security is non negotiable, could be an advantage, but also a disadvantage. So a direct me to a, to a role looks rather unlikely also because of a simple reason to mediate. You must talk to all the parties that are involved in the conflict. And jeremy does not talk to the leadership. Also they come off service organization, but germany does use all lines of communication. So talk to play is in the region like tar, like egypt, and jordan, and these 2 last country. So egypt and jordan along with friends in germany, a part of the so called munich group, it was phone 3 years ago. And that discusses on and measures that i needed to achieve elastic piece. And this call, this renewed coal for International Humanitarian law. It should be respected in may of this year after a meeting of the full 4 in minutes of this group called for the quote, comprehensive and lost in peace between israel, using Police Students through negotiated 2 state solution. Sums something that, according also to german, 4 minutes to an alien, a bab during the reason. Kyra p some, it may sound far away today. So we have a direct media, a role, looks on lockley. What else can jim any, do he, stephanie could help organizing humanitarian age to the gaza strip during a visit to the re region for him. And as the fabric announced, the gemini will increase the relief for palestinians living in gaza by 50000000 euros. And that 8 will be a support it will be sent through, for example, they will food program, eunice of the u. N. Police tenure Refugee Agency and civilians and gaza are at the mercy of come up. Thats what the governments off that will official said, addressing the bonus tag, the German Parliament last week, stressed the providing the so many terry and 8 needs to be part of any strategy moving forward. The government here in berlin is putting out for the full on 3 steps on one side, a coordinated effort to improve the humanitarian situation. And goal is to avoid a regional escalation and to make sure that hostages held by some us are released. And if we look back at previous successful hostage negotiations from gaza with germany was involved, that might also be an area for possible in both. And then because back in 2011 gad comes at the top german Intelligence Office to help negotiate the release of an israeli soldier who had been held to buy some us for several years. So looking at the current situation, adult durham, and media recently. But if things proceed, nothing, it will happen for quite a while. So he said that it was probably that both sides will get in touch with egypt. So coming back to that as important, looking at this diplomatic conversations that are taking place in both the german tongue slip and the foreign minister and the go also in talks with each and, you know, were as good, but thank you. All right, lets take a look now some of the of the stories making news around the world to sell the 10s of thousands of children in bolivia have been sent home from school juice. The air pollution caused by extensive wildfires authorities. I 2000000 hectares of land and bank, but draft is laid to a lack of water hampering 55. And if its 5 often started by farmers clearing weeds and grasslands, us in the us. A mess of searches on the way for a gunman suspected of killing 18 people and wounding 13 more place, searched the hon of a relative of the suspect, who is an Army Reserves reserve. Strep shootings happened to the bowling alley, an a boss in lewiston, in the state of my us secretary of state anthony blinking has met with chinas foreign minister when he, who on is on a re visit to washington when called for stable relations and co operation between the 2 will pallas banks trip follows a series of visits to china by us officials as washington, 6. 00 to fees pension with by g sharp which on a stake media say full, not chinese premier, the k to young has died at the age of 60 i. The cause of death was reported to be a heart attack. He was trying his number too late a for 10 years from 2013 to earlier this year. It was known as an advocate for private business that was lovely, sidelined by seizing pain facebook on chinas most powerful leader in decades. Correspondence, ibm christmas in by june, told us more about lee catch youngs legacy. Yes, he was really an extraordinary politician. He was born into one of the poorest provinces in china and also born into a very turbulent time during his youth. He was sent to the countryside. Um, actually like millions of other Young Chinese at that time to learn from peasants to do a physical labor. So actually by the time when most of the state found a died in the universities in the country reopened and he was already quite old. But then he started to study and he became a very brilliant academic. He, um, studied law and economy. He was very interested in also some controversial topic to a sensitive topics, for example, at the root of law. And he was known to be a very edit english loan. And some classmates even mentioned that the history was to continue his studies abroad. But then actually the potty Secretary Office due to both the step in and they wanted to keep them in the country to build them up as a future leader. And thats exactly what happened. And he had a very steep career before he was 50. He almost already had to, has been running to provinces and he was known to be very pragmatic. Um, economically you can call him every farmer and he was certainly very close to the people. And many people speculate that that he could be the future. Number one of china, but i bet post the potty to see the then when to see thing thing. And he became the Prime Minister roughly 10 years ago. And especially in the last years was the sidelines that were not many public appearances from him anymore. So, and you can say that as teaching ping did not really um get except a strong number to next to him for the subbing for which the inviting or frustration is growing in the mix. It can result city of acapulco and surrounding areas of a deep slow government response to a devastating hurricane. At least 27 people were killed when hurricane out of slammed into Mexicos Pacific coast after rapidly intensifying you to a category 5 stone mountain. Acapulco tourist infrastructure is being badly damaged. Buildings ripped apart by one of mexicos most powerful storms. Hurricane oshas toll through acapulco leaving sun survivors without shelter food or clean water. So its a disaster. Were not seeing help. We dont see any associates. People dont know what to ask for, who to turn to with desperate. What are we going to do about a couple co homes . Theres no electricity, no washington or seek . No. A relatives havent heard from us and we havent heard from them. From the officials say, the rushing to bring in aid and to restore electricity and communications, but with the roads blocked by trees and mud. Even mexicos president , struggle to get in force to switch cars and bulk pos of the way on an official visit to the devastated area. Now what matters most is food aid, because there are many families and small children. Some residents have tons to losing damage stores for the basic necessities while they wait for the aid. There are also reports of crowds writing deserves electronic stores. Acapulco is in one of the poorest areas of mexico and the local economy is heavily reliant on tourism. But the damage from hurricane oshas will likely cost well into the billions of dollars and residents, so worried it could take years to recover. Before we go, heres a reminder about top story.
