knit connelly meets the soldiers learning to deal with this growing threats. the hybrid golf is good to have you with this on this friday. it is a vote reflecting growing international solidarity with the palestinians. today the new in general assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of a palestinian bid to become a full member recommending the you in security council. reconsider the matter. a $143.00 nations supported the motion which grants the palestinian significantly more rights to participate in general assembly sessions, but not regular voting rights. united states vetoed a security council resolution last month. you may remember that would have paved the way for all of this know ahead of today's vote. israel's ambassador to the un

shredded the united nations charter saying that was what countries who support tell us dogs bid to join the e u. r. do s yes. that's what you're doing, right. i asked our correspondent benjamin alvarez group in washington. what this vote by the un general assembly. but it really means it's important to clarify that this vote does not give the palestinians full un membership, but recognizes them as qualified to join. is you said 143 members voted in favor 9 against it, including israel and the united states and 25 countries, abstained in this policy and membership. it will now be forwarded it to the un security council asking it to reconsider the matter. and the result of this vote does not come as a surprise that it was widely believed that the resolution would easily achieve the necessary 2 thirds majority in the general assembly. also because there is no b to ride in the 193 member body in the us has been opposing

a this and also in april, vetoed a proposal recommending the admission of the state of policy to full membership in the united nations. it isn't resolution, it would grant new rights and privileges. what exactly are the this is that's right. this passed a resolution gives to the police thing. and so right to participate in the united nations international conference is convinced by the us. and that means that they have the right to make statements submit proposals. amendments also to co sponsor a proposal to raise a procedural motions, but the state of policy and does not have a right to vote. what is also interesting here is the diplomats told us media before this vote that they original draft of the assembly resolution was change significantly to address concerns not only by the us that india and also voted against it along with other countries, but also by russia and china because, well, both countries and strong supporters of paul assigned to you and membership. they

are concerned according to the solar system. granting a certain type of rights and privileges could set a precedent for other would be un members with russia being concerned about the costs of a in china about taiwan. so this em passed a resolution widely supported resolution to move on to the security. it calls the where a bit for police send a membership pay less than a month ago. up to the us use it's vito and vetoed the resolution. yeah, that's what it looks like. the us has planning to do that yet. again, with this resolution, the ws benjamin alvarez group are the latest from washington and benjamin. thank you. you've been official to say that more than a 100 a 1000 people have now fled the city of ruffled for other parts of gauze. if it'd be finding between his really troops and tomas militants on the cities outskirts means that aid is no longer coming in. food and fuel supplies are critically low inside rasa. about 1300000 palestinians had sought refuge in the city. that's about half of gauze this entire population. now many are packing up to leave again.

visual say the world feed program, supplies will run out by saturday. unless more aid or ross, a. sam rose works in ross of for own right. that's the human agency for palestinian refugees. he told us more about the situation for the people they are on the ground . they face an impossible died of them are many they or many enough that understand many working from god. so they've been displaced by 10 times already, so they're faced with this and possible dynamic. they've been through it before. whether in con eunice gone to city or elsewhere. so i don't either they wait uh oh oh they go. now how do i then wait and hope that nothing happens? oh oh, they go now. and if they wait, the condition is going to be worse when they come because the opportunities to move what they want. so what they, what they, they want to bring it will be, will be at a more difficult. but it's also conditioned by where they are going. that being

pushed out into some jews are difficult to provide services. evers, for wally, overcrowded conditions or else that being shared by all insight into con eunice, which is a safety this sustained, savage on the bottom. and those essentially been raised to the grounds. so either side of juniors or the root is on down buildings. and then both of those places very difficult at any 8 agencies to reach them and of course make more difficult night impossible by the fact that no materials enough people are coming in right now. that was saying that arose with rob speaking with this earlier. here's a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. in germany, hundreds of environmental activists have tried to storm test was electric vehicle factory near berlin. easy the right they are. they were driven back by police. the protesters oppose plans to expand the factory,

which means clearing nearby forest. tesla wants to boost production at the site by up to 1000000 vehicles a year, a chance military ruler, mahatma debbie if no has been declared the winner. this week's presidential election results have been contested by the countries opposition of the election in the north. the central african nation was delayed due to 3 years of military rule. ukraine says that russia has watched a new ground defensive on the countries northeastern border advancing about one kilometer inside. you. great officials say there was massive showing in the town of vogue john skinny of the city of her teeth. ukraine has rushed reinforcements to the region to shore. a defensive ukrainian forces are evacuating residents. at least one civilian we understand was killed in fridays showing. grades president for them is zalinski says that the military was anticipating the attack and he says,

a quote fierce battle is under way. and that's our key bureau chief economy. he told us more about the finding in the heart keep reaching of the front. it's really difficult to get a handle on the situation. the geography is pretty complex. you've got a fighting going on near of of chance, which is about 70 below it says northeast of kind of give just on the russian frontier, but use a half a pulse, fighting directly north of kind of give in the kind of village along the board of this which, which are about themselves 50, comes away as the crow flies from of chance. and then reports of some, some of the village is also effected slightly further away. so this is a big area. this is a reminder that ukraine has a very, very long border, but a 1000 kilometers with rushes. so even away from the front lines, there's little search engines to be controlled, and they have an expectation that something might happen because russian was building up troops in that part of the country. and just a couple of hours ago, we seemed like maybe they'd be rolling in and trying to take kind of give them credit, 2nd city. that doesn't seem to be the case. now. we've actually had

a report recently from the regional government saying that russia has to be able to get new church and they've been pushed back. we know opposite choice, that is the conclusive also, those reports are basically worst and separate to groups. crossing the border and operating kind of classically behind the brand new lines, lots of questions, new friends, know how that was possible. why this board was not better closed off. why they wouldn't mind feels what it was across. and it just really kind of reminds us of the chaos last summer when you had you bring it back, rushed next. all groups doing the same thing on the russian side of the board. it really seems like it's going to catholic, got a border rate situation and we can't really tell what it's going for now. yeah, we know that you creating forces are already struggling to hold the line in the eastern part of the country. this could look like it's hit by russia to start a 2 front board. but as you say, we don't know. i mean, could this then be the major russian assault that ukraine has been bracing for? of the i just came back from the front lines in the east a couple of weeks ago. and when you asked people where they are, the soldiers there with the locals. are you expecting some big russian adult?

some push they say to you? it's already started. it's been way more intensive in the last couple months since ukraine started getting less than the way of west to weapons and the russians so that charles, so they didn't really see much shouts from all. but certainly there is. and is there a placement this could be about diversionary tactics. rushed to try to force ukraine to send troops to the effective region to weaken those defensive. these especially want to wait for those $60000000000.00 of usa to reach the front lines. and we have seen lots of tools in rush, the state media about basically so i think kind of give trying to kind of create product and most of the population tried to force people to leave that city to give up. and to basically move further away from the russian border. so there's definitely said the russians want people to be scared. they have basically announced there's no way that they wouldn't really have if this was just about the military side. and for now, it is a very different situation. they've had basically be an air raid alarm for the best part of 10 hours. the so it is expedited to the locals. and those people who are close to, to the border, not missing. how does that itself?

because the border are definitely packing the cases and even it'd be the economy, the delays tonight from keith ukraine. nick as always, thank you for earlier. nick filed the report for us on a new threats emerging for ukrainian troops on the front line. russian, the white ball russian light bulbs tearing, 3 ukrainian hanger early in 2024. at least that's according to russian military blog as russian and ukrainian social media has been full of these kinds of images in recent months. but seeing it on the screen, but it doesn't quite prepare you for seeing the impact these weapons can have your own noise. this is the damage done by the smallest kind of like pump currently used by russia to well, if it was just a small pot of big lot going through it, just this was a 250 kilogram. glad to give you a sense of scale. i'm to make this tool these ukraine

you so just know to well what it feels like to be the receiving end of rushing like bowman text. they tell us they 1st came up against them about a year ago. recent months they've been getting bigger and more frequent on the card bombs. mike is using sound. did you hear that sound? and soon enough there is an explosion. you've got debris flying around and then the shock way for you to send you a solid right now it's the russians go to weapon to force out infantry out of the dog. and i suppose that even you says i'm let just flatten everything out. it doesn't matter how did you did your trenches at one hope. this will is the 1st to seek live bones, use a widely into such effect. the technology behind them isn't completely new. this is a hybrid what an ssl globally. she lied, bottoms that just conventional dumb bombs. they have turned into precise smart bombs with the addition of special wing kids and satellite navigation systems.

crucially, they can fly up to 70 kilometers. please do so. thank you. or that means russian pilots can launch these guy comes out of range of most ukranian defenses. and by re purposing soviet era booms from its foss, don't bios russia can produce these weapons that speed a follow it costs than any equivalent me. so let's see when the water so you have these, these, these russian bombs are cheaper than anything the us has endorsed. they use the simple list mechanics and a very primitive winkie alone. thank you with the whole thing cost less than $20000.00. and why do i say this is the lady was not fully complex comparison, even the cheapest christmas owls russian as far as that ukraine are estimated to cost around a $1000000.00 each to produce personal items often failed to designate the ukranian troops the challenge to better understand the weapon that they face showed they put together crudely,

but they're effective. do no damage. the not hillary clinic gradients of all where the country doesn't try to build its own, like bombs, producing these weapons, isn't the problem the most most safely is russia's s 400 defense systems down ukraine. planes up to 200 kilometers away gradient experts and sold a degree. there's a new one realistic onset to rest his life problems. and that's matching rushes capacity to shoot down the plane that can carry these booms. ukraine has already proven that it's possible. you can you force to say they shut down more than a dozen russian planes to february alone. most expos believe that was down to west and supplied patriot defense systems. that is, until the much russian forces were able to destroy to ukrainian patriot launches, sustained ukraine. his captive handful of patriot systems away from the front lines preferring instead to protect the countries big cities. until you can get some more

of these at defense systems. can again afford to take risks. russian planes kinda like bombs, will have little to fear. you're watching dw news, i'll be back in the top of the hour with more of old news, followed by the day. the name is the calls back. save. wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay, like good everyone to king the healthy award winning called called the back room or, or actually true. many boys in trying not believe that the tv is going to die.
