00:00 Nightly greetings one and all William Theo here homegrown and happy to be bringing you PTV news now
00:06 Antisemitism is rearing its ugly head once again in Europe
00:11 No
00:12 thanks to the fallout of the month-long and lopsided war by Israel against Hamas and the
00:17 Palestinians in Gaza in retaliation for the October 7 terrorist and brutal attacks on Israeli civilians and foreigners
00:25 In Germany where there is still a residual atonement for the Holocaust that killed six million Jews in World War two
00:33 At least a couple of thousand cases linked to the Israel Hamas conflict have been reported the federal police
00:40 Claims as a result German authorities have immediately deployed security at certain Jewish institutions
00:46 But that did not stop two men from hurling Molotov cocktails at a synagogue in Berlin
00:53 Recently the country's domestic intelligence agency chief warned of a return to Germany's darkest hours
01:00 while Vice Chancellor Robert Havoc pleaded to far-left political
01:05 organizations and Muslim groups for sobriety and restraint
01:09 Criminal and
01:13 nefarious activities perpetrated by Chinese nationals have branched out of the mega city and
01:19 spread elsewhere throughout the mainland Luzon case in point the arrest over the weekend of
01:25 17 Chinese nationals in a community in Haro Iloilo over
01:29 allegations of cyber sex crimes and
01:32 Computer related acts of fraud the roundup of these 17 Chinese nationals of whom only six have current passports
01:40 indicate that Chinese criminal
01:42 personalities or organized crime have branched out of the mega city or the National Capital Region where almost all illegal
01:49 Pogo operations have been busted and dismantled
01:52 law enforcement would like to know and are
01:55 Investigating whether this group of 17 is just a part of another larger criminal group engaged in shady and unlawful business
02:03 Should any one of them try to post bail?
02:06 He or she or all of them will be referred or recommended for violation of the country's immigration laws
02:13 Families can friends of those taken into custody by Hamas on October 7 are
02:20 Stepping up the pressure on the Netanyahu government to forge a deal with Hamas to release the hostages
02:27 No matter what it takes or cost
02:29 Fears grow over a wrong move by the Israeli Defense Forces that could inadvertently put the lives of these Israeli men women
02:37 children and foreigners in danger
02:39 VOA's Natasha Moskowaya filed this report from the protesters encampment in Tel Aviv
02:45 Crowd in Tel Aviv Israel rallying in support of the Israelis and others held hostage by Hamas for a month now
02:57 Chance in Hebrew a shove a shove meaning now now every moment that in bar and on the other out there
03:04 it's risking their life and all the
03:07 Airstrikes and the ground invasion is really risking their lives so we cannot wait anymore
03:13 We are expecting from our politicians do everything to bring them home now to pay any price
03:17 No Malone whose girlfriend in bar Hyman was kidnapped October 7 from the supernova music festival in South Israel
03:24 Says that after protesting almost daily for the past month
03:27 He's sleeping in a tent in front of the Israel Defense Forces headquarters in Tel Aviv
03:31 Along with other people whose loved ones were abducted to Gaza
03:35 We are fighting to get them back. We are begging on any platform anyone with influence just to get them back
03:43 They are innocent people who did nothing wrong old people who need their medications
03:47 I can't even imagine where they are or what is being done to them
03:52 Four weeks have passed with Hamas still holding about 240 hostages in Gaza
03:57 Their families decided to ramp up the pressure on the Israeli government to make sure their release is top priority
04:04 Families are frustrated not only with the government but also with the world which they feel cares mainly about humanitarian access to Gaza civilians
04:13 Lisa Shpelansky speaks of her 19 year old cousin Karina Arieff and
04:17 We saw a video of her being kidnapped
04:21 By Hamas she was with three other with two other girls in inside a Jeep. We saw that she was hurt in the face and
04:29 Other than that, we don't know anything
04:32 Nobody tells us because nobody knows Hamas doesn't release any
04:36 Information about whether they're fine. She says the Israeli Defense Forces gives 200% to bring the hostages back
04:44 But the world needs to do more. They're hypocrites when they call us out for trying to get back our families
04:51 But if it were their family wouldn't they move heaven and earth for them?
04:55 Israeli artist Hila Galili has built several installations calling attention to the hostages
05:00 She says her work reflects the impossible situation of their families
05:04 Hostages families are in a situation where they can't talk because of the fear of retaliation against their loved ones
05:16 The
05:18 Hostages also can't raise their voices because they're locked up and they're tied up
05:26 So I'm standing like this and sometimes when you're standing silent, the scream is much louder
05:39 One of the hostages relatives told the crowd that humanitarian aid should be cut to Gaza until the Israeli hostages receive aid as well
05:46 Others demanded release of the hostages as a condition for a ceasefire
05:50 All seem to agree that with the military operation in Gaza
05:57 The hostages are in harm's way and the Israeli government and the rest of the world need to do more to secure their release
06:03 Natasha Moskow, VOA News, Tel Aviv, Israel
06:07 And right now let's get up to speed with what's up lately in Pine City, Ala
06:17 In the Philippines, there are many Christmas lights that are being decorated.
06:24 DTI is currently planning to open a new store in Baguio City.
06:30 DTI has just received a certificate from the Canadian Standard for opening Christmas lights
06:40 The certificate is being distributed to customers through the labels and manufacturers' address of the Christmas lights.
06:47 The locally made certificate is PS mark and the imported certificate is ICC sticker.
06:54 DTI is currently working on the Christmas lights.
06:59 DTI is also working with the consumer to prepare the Christmas lights for the incident.
07:10 The best thing to do is to report this to DTI and we will take action.
07:16 If we were to buy this online, because some of the items are also being bought online
07:25 If there is no ICC sticker or PS mark, we can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry.
07:38 Senator Marcos has just received assistance from the Individuals in Crisis Situations,
07:44 which is 2,500 health workers.
07:47 The second is from Senator and Governor Jerry Singzon,
07:51 who is the official of the province and the President of the BHW.
07:55 The first is from Senator and Governor Jerry Singzon,
08:01 who is the official of the BHW.
08:07 She is also a health worker.
08:10 I am pushing for the approval of the Magna Carta of the BHW.
08:22 We are also pushing for the standardization of allowances.
08:28 We are also making scholarships for our children,
08:32 subject to our various minimum package of benefits,
08:38 including field health and life insurance.
08:44 This is PTV Cordillera, signing off.
