5:48 pm
refugee agency has said that the situation uh in yemen at the moment remains. one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis despite a ceasefire being in place, is it safe to say that the international community has failed the people of yemen? they they shut their eyes. there was no descent at the security council when they over the last nine years when they passed these resolutions uh imposing the land, air and sea bloccade on the country because it was supposedly a threat to international peace. in fact, the the unsterol led coalition. government has been fighting al-qaeda groups, which are of course back by the emiratis and the saudis and the us on the on the arabian peninsula, so there's this, the international community certainly failed them betrayed them really in terms of the security council, i think i hope there's a turn around coming with all of the appreciation of course for the actions that despite this starvation, despite this terrible siege on the emany people, they
5:49 pm
still have the will to fight on behalf of their brothers and sisters in gaza, and that's really made a big impression on the... and apparently also recently on russia and china. i think that um the the the saudis have realized that they failed, so they don't want to pursue as an agent of the us any further this war, they're looking to avoid further misadventures in that area. okay, we're going to have to wrap up this segment as we fresh out of time. thanks to corresponding joining us from the capital and also thanks to director of center for countermonic studies. mr. tim anderson joining us from sydney, with that it brings us to an end here on this edition of the news review, but stick around, there's plenty more to come here on press tv, see you in a bit. all right, moving on, the russian president vladimir putin says the details of the recent terrorist attack on moscow are still being
5:50 pm
probed, uh, he at the same time called for just punishment for private raiders. "the criminals who directly committed this massacre, as you know, have been arrested. investigators are carefully establishing the circumstances of this barbaric crime, finding out its details, determining the role and degree of guilt of each participant and studying the conclusions of criminologists and experts. i hope that prosecutors within their powers, including when presenting state charges and during the trial will do everything necessary to ensure that the..." criminals receive fair punishment as required by russian law, putin was speaking a meeting the general prosecutors collegium, the russian federal security service said that the gun responsible for the attack plan to travel to ukraine where they were to be welcomed as heroes. the fsp at the western intelligence services aited the attackers.
5:51 pm
four gun men burs into moscow's karakes set a hall on friday and began shooting at the people who attended a concert. they killed nearly 140 people and injured some 180 others. 11 people including the selins have been detained. they are facing terrorism charges. the french president is insisting on the possibility of sending troops to ukraine, from washington to european capitals, to the french armed forces, macron's refusal of diplomacy is not going on opposed. reports from paris. a pan-western meeting of nationalist parties, italy's matteo salvini called french president emmanuel macron a danger to europe for his insistance on possibly sending.
5:52 pm
i think is is illusion, people aren't buying it, as matter of fact, people are understanding, whether it be in germany or whether it be in france, that in fact this war in ukraine, which was unnecessary and which was wanted by the west and by nato is actually hurting them very badly. inflation, the increase in oil prices and energy and and gasoline and food, you you name it, the europeans are understanding that they're suffering from this war. in two years macron'. has gone from major criticism over urging the west not to humiliate russia to being one of europe's leading warhawks. recent polls of french public opinion,
5:53 pm
however, show a different trend. studies show that nearly 80% of france doesn't want their soldiers sent to ukraine. worries about macron's sustained belligerance have gotten major pushback from washington to inside france's armed forces. there are leaked reports that the generals are extremely worried about. uh macron doing these belligerant uh talks when france is in in no condition whatsoever to to to defy or to challenge russia, i mean even the british about sunak for example saying he's going to send troops to to ukraine, what troops, the the the british can't fill a football stadium with their army, the army that they could put in the field, they couldn't even fill a football stadium, so what is he talking about, so this is all all lot of bluster but extreme. dangerous bluster, extremely dangerous. a new report shows how little france has been affected by the ukrainian refugee crisis, which may make paris more
5:54 pm
open to more war. just 60,000 refugees have been accepted by france, fewer than tiny ireland. france hosts just one ukrainian refugee per 1,00 residents, while poland, the baltics, the czech republic, slovakia and bulgaria are hosting more than 25. now latest survey is indicating that the upcoming european parliamentary elections will revolve around rising prices and social inequalities, european voters seem to be quite concerned about decaying state of their finances and lifestyle. we have a report by max chively. next june mo than 400 million european voters will take to the polls to elect 720 politicians to the european parliament, the composition of the eu's executive arm, the
5:55 pm
european commission will also be renewed. a recent poll by the multinational market research group, ipsos has found that european citizens most important electoral issues in the upcoming elections are the rising prices and social inequalities in the continent, the cost. of living in the eu countries has been rising much faster than people's wages, even though inflation in the block has dropped over the past year, around one european out of three or almost 100 million people is experiencing a precarious financial situation. faithfully the eu recent historic events, events which have seen the pandemic crisis first and the energy crisis triggered by the war in ukraine later. is the final
5:56 pm
rise of populist movements other issues deemed very important by the survey respondents in view of the june elections were economic growth and unemployment in the block, after narrowly escaping recession in late 2023, brussels has downgraded its growth outlook for 2024 a modest .9% from the previously expected 1.3%. employment in the eu is suffering across all sector. the increasing use of non-permanent contracts, informal work and insecure jobs has impoverished the significant portion of the middle class leading to high levels of social exclusion. it goes without saying the rising prices do the skyrocketing energy cost have badly affected all europeans. having said that, it must be noted the price here in italy are still much lower than prices in other countries of the block. european
5:57 pm
borders hope that eu leadership won't introduce sturity measures which will translate into more suffering for weaker countries. analysts have also pointed out that voter turnout will be the biggest election challenge next june, as the election campaign ramps up and discontent is growing across europe, many fear that much less than half of eligible voters will cast ballot in the european elections. in 2008, the european union's economy was larger than that of the united states. states, however, following the global financial crisis, the covid pandemic and the ukraine russia conflict, today the united states economy is 50% larger than that the european union. max chivili, press tv, rome. and that's our app for now, we'll be back in a bit more than 30 minutes.
5:58 pm
this is home, first was a car, then the house, then i hit the street, that was 15 years ago, we are in los angeles, they are built. building and modernizing everywhere, the rent is always increasing, the city doesn't know what to do with all the homeless people, this is our main spot for the last 19 years, that's most likely to die on the streets if we don't get her off the streets to the next year, for everyone i house there's probably at least 12 or 20 in similar situation, so that can make my work very discouraging, housing first is just the first

step the pindy the emotional. support, they need support to seek treatment, they need support to manage life.
6:00 pm
this is sarayava, a country that shares borders with serbia and croatia, and has survived years of genocide.
6:01 pm
over the years! the economy of the west bank in israel, as a result of the genocidal war, is still suffering from lack of economic activity or low economic activity. many stores uh are still uh closed, tourism at record low levels and lack of workers top of everything else is playing the economy. whether there's a chance for the palestinians to get back on their feet or for israel's economy to get jump started is the subject of this edition of economic divide. coming up. in this program palestine's economy first we're going to take a look at the gdp decrease for the fourth quarter minus 33% then the west bank gdp that was a low of minus 22%. so uh there is
6:02 pm
obvious concern there. unemployment plus 30%. another concern for the economy of palestine. consumer price increases in the west bank is also a source of concern. lower income. supply chain bottlenecks and transport costs are some of the factors, then we're going to take a look at israel's banks and uh their credits, well five of them have been downgraded, the higher borrowing cost based on uh the moodi's credit downgrading them, and also these higher prices are passed to the consumers. israel's genocidal war on the gaza strip and its hostilities toward lebanon has displaced thousands of israelies inside the regime, thousands of
