the, the, this is the w use line from the land palestinians, and garza mach age of fits in a was or this year. the end of ramadan is mounted by dates and destruction and aid into the territory has been boosted the head of the holiday to each shortages of essentials. japan's prime minister for me, okay, should, is in washington for adults with president joe by the. the 2 leaders discuss ways to kind of what they called a growing frank from china. the

i've been visible and welcome as muslims around the world celebrate the end of the fostering month of ramadan palestinians in the gaza strip of mocking age and a very different circumstances. the homeless one health ministry says that these 14 people were killed in thousands injured, biased by the strikes on the eve of the holiday. most of the causes population is displaced and facing critical shortages of food and other supplies. their markets have been selling fast food and closing much of it is a highly inflated price. it's of us president joe biden is called for an immediate hopes of finding in an interview with spanish language tv. it disagreed with the approach taken in gaza by his way, me 5 minutes stuff and you've been making yard. i'm calling for is for the israel is to just call for a ceasefire. allow for the next $68.00 weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country. i've spoken with everybody from the

studies to the jordanians today and champions, they're prepared to move in are prepared to move this food in. and i think there's a vendor and there's no excuse to not provide for the medical and the food needs of those people they should be done. now i also correspond to tell me any. so if, if isabel is listening to the mounting criticism from its allies as well as signs that benjamin netanyahu, his government is listening and assigns that is not the pressure. it's certainly mounting. you have heard biden say that he wants to cease fire to happen. he also in the interview called what, nothing yahoo is doing in gauze a mistake. those are some of the harshest words we've heard from bite. and since this latest war began, pedro sanchez, the prime minister of spain, went a step further. and he said that israel's quote, disproportionate response in gaza was not only the stabilizing the region,

but the stabilizing the world as well. and that it's in europe's interest to get the situation under control. so a lot of pressure mounting on that's and yahoo! now in some recent actions, it seems that nothing yahoo is listening not only have a lot of troops withdrawn from the gaza strip, allowing people to move the people sheltering rafa to move north back to their destroyed homes, but at least dispersing throughout the country. but also nothing yahoo has said that more aid is getting into the come to into the gaza strip than at any point since this conflict again. on the other hand, is rhetoric, especially for his domestic audience, has not been turned down. he said that no force in the world would stop is real from mounting a ground. the sold on rough of where around a 1000000 civilians are sheltering, calling it the last bastion from austin that i'm also be completely destroyed. this is against the wishes of us and a lot of european partners to say that without a plan to safely evacuate the civilians,

they are against any ground assault on rough will. i mean, to put this into context, more 8 is being ad dropped into guys are in the as well says a letter record number of trucks in on tuesday, but i guess it's the same problem, but it's just not enough or that's right. 8 organizations are very frustrated because on the one hand you have is real boasting that more 8 has gotten into gaza since at any time since this conflict began. citing on monday over 400 trucks and again on tuesday, over 450 trucks. the don't forget that before the war started over 500 trucks used to go into the gaza strip to aid the palestinians, living there living under and is rarely blockade health by egypt as well. and that's now 8 organizations. this thing that now because of the dire situation, there were tens of thousands of thousands are on the brink of starvation. that means they could die if no food gets to them within the coming days or weeks. that because of that situation, 10021500 trucks of

a need to get in every single day in order to prevent mass starvation nothing yahoo announced after talks of biting that they were going to open another crossing areas in the north to assist the people living in north of garza, but so far that crossing has not been opened. so a lot of disappointment on the side of 8 organizations. and just briefly so very little to celebrate, as ramadan comes to a close to the mood in jerusalem. that's right. it's very solemn this year as opposed to other years eat our filter is the end of ramadan. a very celebratory time for muslims. a lot of muslims in palestine in the past. indian muslims in jerusalem often go to the outbox and mosque. now they did that today is really police did garden loud older men and women to get in, but celebrations are not taking place. and palestinians. i've talked to said they just can't do it with what's going on and gauze that they would feel guilty. and they told me that instead of a giant meal with friends and family, they might have

a smaller meal. but then the money that they would have spent on a big feast, they're going to send to god. i mean, and i said for a stay in jerusalem, thank you. the exit polls in south korea's parliamentary elections shows the liberal opposition on costs to increase its majority in a blow to president john soak. y'all. joined poles from south korea is 3 big tv networks, full cost, the democratic party and its allies winning up to 197 seats in the 300 named upon that. accounting is still under way that the result so far would make president young a lame duck for his last 3 years in office. the leaders of japan and the united states and meeting today, i had been historic stomach with the philippines. they want to work together to counsel what they see is a growing threat from china. japan's for the okay. sure to. we'll address congress on thursday. later on he'll join founded on monica's junior from the philippines and the account a bunch of bites for meetings and china is attends to

a set control over the dispute in south china sea will be high on the agenda out east asia correspondent james trader, looks at what's at stake in the south china sea this week show a force from the us and it's in the pacific allies, the us, japan, and the philippines alongside australia, in the 1st of the joint naval exercises designed to uphold freedom of navigation in the contested waters. the drills a probably to another fuss those days. historic summit between the leaders of the us, japan and the philippine spots. the 2 countries with which washington has mutual defense treaties bringing these nations together, what some japanese officials called the most complex security environment since world war 2. including a more belligerent north korea, but mainly a more assertive china under president shooting paint of those middle and tokyo have maritime disputes with aging friction in the south china sea,

especially what china has recently fired was the cannons that philippine vessels has res phase. the us could be drawn into direct conflicts with badging, but there are even deeper concerns over the fate of taiwan. the self, rhode island, which china claims is its own test file to take by force if necessary. if raging what's take taiwan, it would radically shift agents balance of power in favor of china. and for japan and the philippines which rely on smooth the trade flows through the taiwan straits . they would have national security invitations to you and you have to look at to map to understand why missoula silence. the northern most points of the philippines is just 140 kilometers from ty ones, mainland, the nearest dropping these islands. you on a journey is even close to around 110 kilometers away. japan recently deployed new military units that both so much closer to taipei, the neither manila or tokyo, increasingly japan and the philippines of working together in tools now for deal

that would allow then, minute trees to be stationed on each of his territory. analysts say that as well as those they summit, all parts of us efforts to bring their lives in the region closer together. the more you criss crossing lines you have over the region, the more complex the strategic decisions decision paying china would be. um it should it decide to to escalate tensions, for example of a title despite types of conflicts in europe and the middle east. washington maintains asia is a long time foreign policy focus, the summit between the us and 2 of its most important to regional allies. the latest sign of the shifting cards in the, in the pacific security picture. and james, trying to joins us from taipei along with joe to listen. give laska in tokyo, sonya, what's japan hoping to get out of this summit or before japan? and this is really about making sure that the corporation with like minded partners

in the region goes back to as we've heard of cause of, there's much more pressure from a more, more assertive china and japan has taken steps towards more security in the region on its own, he said that he visited the philippines already in november and they negotiated a troop access deal, which is considered the kind of stuff before an official military alliance. and the philippines were also made to the 1st country which was to receive of overseas security aid from japan. and then of course, there's the longstanding alliance with the u. s. that japan has had and has increased in the recent years. there are 60000 troops, stations, americans, troops stationed in japan. and japan has recently also made sure that for example, it's can repair us warships that has been difficult because of the pesticides constitution. but they have been changes made. and then last but not least,

those also national politics involved because prime minister can you see that he has seen his approval ratings tank in recent months and weeks. and for him, the summit is really also the chance to, to give his do minutes in the country of course, which he really needs. james, what's tie one hoping to result from these tools. it's not invited but will be a focus. of course, it's joe with of course why one doesn't have full multiplan mastic relations with any of these countries, but it's absolutely fine to say that the 3 countries pulling closer together will increase a sense of security. that's why we need specials have here in taipei about the prospect of maintaining the best solvency in the use of heads. and again, you only have to look at the geography of this region to understand why the meaning of these 3 countries in washington is so significant. of course to the south. it's high ones, mainland, you have this north and most province of the philippines. this is a place where the us recently negotiated access for some of the trees to do some

operations from there. and of course from ty, ones, northeast you have these fall south west and islands in japan, which had been increasing and increasingly made a try is done to vacation to administration. and of course, you know, it's not just that we're seeing these developments on the ministry from the end of the time when i was interested backing of the 3 countries. but more importantly, that the able to cooperate in a smooth way should an emergency situation arise. blanket contingency over taiwan with china. should something happen, james? tell me. will washington manila are in tokyo, teaming up, keep trying to reject. well that will certainly be the end of this summer resort in our for the extra and mentioning that there. really, the fundamental goal behind these 3 countries putting together is to raise that sense of risk calculations of aging. and this applies to web notes just between the

us and his allies in the region on the bi lateral level, but also in their relationships with each other. like as sonya mentioned, dots partnership that we're seeing between circular and manila, china, if it's positive courses, responded to this. some is, it says this type of meeting between the us economy for the philippines is what's actually raising the risk of military publication. and it's taking action of it sign, of course, drawing much closer to moscow. we've seen this meeting between russian foreign minister started a lot of roles and china is top dave to months long e and recent days where they refund that relationship. and then the final thing, the, the elephants in the room really wasting at the end of this year was the prospects of a trump victory in the us selection, which is really raising concerns about the future of us commitments in the region. and so what we're seeing here really isn't assets on incumbent need, is to institutionalize some of this goodwill to strike while the iron is hot. and to ensure that the, the developer is receiving ties between these 3 countries,

outlaw us, any future elections. and so new tell us from where you want. japan recently held his 1st joint navel drills, of course with the philippines in australia. it's been boosting defense spending. what sort of a security guidelines is forming in the western pacific as well? as you mentioned, japan has done a lot to increase its defense budgets by 16 percent compared to the year before. and it really wants to show that it's ready to be a global partner for the us, but also for, for like minded countries in the region. so really forming more of the strategic security alliances in, in the whole region is, has been very high on the agenda. there is of course, also to talk about japan, possibly joining the office, packed in, in some sort of capacity. japan is also in talks specific island reasons. so there's a lot in the works at this stage. so your plans cuz they're in tokyo and james traded, talking to me earlier from type i. some more on the lines is forming an agent.
