00:00 The World Health Organization warns of the growing health risk faced by 1.5 million Palestinians
00:06 displaced by the Israel-Hamas war.
00:10 The Israeli Prime Minister doubles down on his pledge to continue the war with Hamas
00:15 until hostages are released.
00:20 Calls for an immediate humanitarian pause.
00:23 The French President reminds Israel of its responsibility as a democracy at a top-level
00:27 conference on aid for Gaza.
00:33 These are the living conditions for many Palestinians displaced by Israel's war with Hamas in the
00:39 Gaza Strip.
00:40 The UN says at least 1.5 million people have lost their homes or been forced to leave them.
00:47 Some are staying in UN-run facilities, others are living on the streets.
00:52 Israel's total blockade of the besieged territory is causing food shortages.
00:57 And its airstrikes have damaged water and sanitation facilities.
01:17 The World Health Organization says Gaza's 50,000 or so pregnant women, newborn babies
01:23 and children are at greatest risk of infection, disease and malnutrition.
01:27 "Today in the wards, we have a double-deck job because of the displaced people to the
01:40 south.
01:41 Many pregnant women are in these difficult conditions, in the midst of the war and the
01:49 stress they are facing.
01:51 There is an increase in early births."
01:56 The health authority says more humanitarian aid needs to be allowed into Gaza and urgently
02:02 distributed.
02:06 In the city of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip, a body is carried away from the
02:12 rubble.
02:13 The building was hit by an Israeli airstrike which is believed to have killed at least
02:17 three people and injured dozens more.
02:20 Israel's Prime Minister has doubled down on his pledge to continue pursuing Hamas,
02:26 despite the rising death toll.
02:27 "I request that we put aside all kinds of rumors, that we are different from all kinds
02:32 of directions and return to one thing that is clear.
02:35 There will be no ceasefire without the release of our captives.
02:40 All the rest, shoo!"
02:43 Israeli forces are moving deeper into Gaza City, where the military says it's targeting
02:48 Hamas fighters and commanders in response to the group's attack on Israel last month.
02:54 The IDF says it's caused significant damage to their aerial and naval forces.
03:01 The fighting there has forced around 50,000 Palestinians to evacuate to southern Gaza.
03:07 Those with foreign passports wanting to leave the conflict can't get out.
03:12 The Rafah border crossing to Egypt is the only way, and it's closed again.
03:17 On a visit there, UN Human Rights Chief Volker Tuch said the crossing represented the gates
03:22 to a living nightmare in the Gaza Strip.
03:25 He says both Israel and Hamas are guilty of war crimes.
03:33 World leaders and representatives from the United Nations and non-governmental organizations
03:37 gathering in Paris for an all-important humanitarian aid conference for civilians in Gaza.
03:44 Asked by French President Emmanuel Macron, the aim was to provide "concrete answers"
03:49 amid Israel's relentless bombardment of the war-ravaged enclave.
03:53 "Today, the situation is serious and is deteriorating more and more every day.
03:58 At the moment, it's the protection of civilians that we need to work on.
04:02 We need a very quick humanitarian pause for this, and we need to work on a ceasefire.
04:09 We must step back from the brink of a speedover before it's too late.
04:19 A genuine prospect of Palestinian statehood is critical, as you say, Mr. President, to
04:24 stabilize the region.
04:26 It is in the interest of all, including Israel, to find a solution that allows Israeli and
04:32 Palestinian to live in peace side by side."
04:37 Macron also called on humanitarian actors in Gaza to prioritize peace and security,
04:43 while he reminded Israel he was not in attendance of its responsibility as a democracy to respect
04:48 the law and protect civilians.
04:51 "The fight against terrorism can never go unresolved.
04:57 Israel knows that.
04:58 The trap of terrorism is the same for all of us.
05:01 Surrender to violence and give up our values."
05:04 Israel for its part has denied there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and has repeatedly
05:09 said there will be no ceasefire until hostages captured by the Hamas militant group are released.
05:17 The German Chancellor has pledged to protect Germany's Jews in the face of rising anti-Semitism
05:23 since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
05:26 On the anniversary of the Nazi Kristallnacht program that started the Holocaust, Olaf Scholz
05:31 says he's ashamed and outraged, adding, "Any form of anti-Semitism poisons society, and
05:37 it will not be tolerated."
05:39 "In essence, it is about making the promise that was repeatedly made in the decades after
05:45 1945.
05:46 The promise that our democratic Germany is based on.
05:52 The promise never again.
05:57 This promise we must make right now.
06:02 Not only in words, but above all in our actions."
06:07 The synagogue where the ceremony was held has been targeted with two molluscs of cocktails
06:12 in the past month.
06:14 The central memorial event was also attended by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier
06:20 and other high-ranking representatives from the state, churches and other social groups.
06:26 After negotiations in Brussels, Spain's socialists are reported to have reached a coalition deal
06:34 with Catalonia's exiled separatist leader, Carlos Puigdemont.
06:39 The agreement is understood to offer an amnesty to the Catalan politician and other leaders
06:44 of the region's failed secession attempt in 2017.
06:49 In exchange, socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will get the backing of the separatist
06:54 party's MPs in parliament to form a government, though with a slim majority.
07:01 The socialists came second to Spain's main conservative party in July's general election,
07:07 but was better placed to forming a governing alliance than the centre-right bloc.
07:14 The prospect of a deal offering an amnesty to the convicted Catalan separatist has provoked
07:19 fury among nationalists who've been protesting outside the party's headquarters in Madrid.
07:31 A celebration outside the President's Palace as Georgia takes another step towards EU membership.
07:40 Eighteen months after asking to join the bloc, on Wednesday the European Council recommended
07:46 that the country should be granted candidate status.
08:11 To gain full membership, Georgia still has to reform its foreign policy sanctions, improve
08:17 press and court freedom, and push back against false information and political polarisation.
08:22 "I didn't want this to happen.
08:25 I wanted this to happen.
08:27 But I know that everything has been said and done.
08:30 And it is possible that peace will be achieved through a joint effort.
08:34 And the Georgian people are responsible for this.

11:28 This depicts the Spanish artist muse Marie-Thérèse Wouter.
11:32 It had been owned by wealthy New Yorker Emily Fisher Lando,
11:35 who died this year at the age of 102.
11:38 The painting along with several masterpieces by other artists
11:41 had hung in the living room of her Manhattan apartment.
