00:31 Live from London, this is The World Today.
00:35 Hello, I'm Paul Barber. Our top stories this hour,
00:38 high-level talks to free the Israeli hostages in Gaza are underway
00:42 as the United Nations urges countries to reverse a funding pause
00:46 for their Palestinian agency. Meanwhile, thousands flee to Raqqa in southern Gaza
00:51 as shelling continues around the city of Khan Yunus.
00:55 Our other headlines, China and Thailand sign a landmark visa deal
00:59 to boost tourism between the two nations.
01:02 And cultural exchange, French and Chinese artists collaborate on an
01:07 operatic masterpiece to celebrate 60 years of diplomatic
01:10 ties between their countries.
01:14 [Music]
01:25 The head of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency is holding
01:28 high-level talks in France on a possible deal to pause the
01:32 fighting in Gaza. Bill Burns is meeting officials from
01:35 Qatar, Egypt and Israel, hoping to secure an agreement which will
01:39 allow the release of hostages. Meanwhile, the United Nations has urged
01:43 countries to resume funding for its Palestinian agency
01:46 following allegations some staff members were involved in the Hamas attacks on
01:50 Israel. Associated Press correspondent John
01:53 Gambrel has the latest from Jerusalem.
01:56 Talks represent a real push by the Americans to try to get
02:00 some sort of ceasefire deal on the table. Right now, as you mentioned,
02:05 the CIA director is expected to meet with his counterparts from Israel and
02:09 Egypt as well as Qatar's prime minister. All this comes as this real push is
02:14 going on to try to cease the fighting in the Gaza Strip. Now, U.S. officials
02:19 who've spoken to the Associated Press describe
02:21 one potential deal that's on the table. Again, I have to stress that this is just
02:24 one potential deal. There's nothing formal yet, but this one
02:28 proposal would see a phased ceasefire. In the first
02:32 month of this ceasefire, there would be a release of hostages who
02:36 were either elderly or infirmed or wounded from the
02:40 October 7th attack. They would be released in exchange for a number of
02:43 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
02:45 In the second month, the hostages remaining in Gaza, which would be
02:50 male civilians as well as any soldiers, would be released in exchange for a
02:53 further release of Palestinian prisoners, as well as more aid on both of those
02:58 months going into the Gaza Strip. Again, this is all pretty vague right now.
03:02 There's no real number set for the number of Palestinian prisoners that
03:05 would be released, but this is all coming as there's really been a concerted
03:09 international effort to stop the fighting in the Gaza Strip. We've seen
03:13 one ceasefire so far in this war that saw some 100
03:17 hostages released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners being released, but
03:20 that lasted only for a week in November and then broke down and the fighting
03:24 resumed. Now the Israelis have a real tight grip
03:26 on the southern part of the Gaza Strip, and there's worries about those
03:30 civilians that are trapped there in inclement weather, this winter rain
03:33 that we've seen. So there is a desire to try to get this
03:36 ceasefire going. However, we've heard both hardline
03:39 statements from both Hamas and the hardline government of Israeli
03:43 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, so any ceasefire is not guaranteed at
03:48 this moment, Paul. Okay, and John, there's also a crisis
03:52 over the United Nations aid because of claims that some of its
03:55 staff in UNRWA, the Palestinian agency, were involved in the
03:58 Hamas attacks in October in Israel. What have we heard on that today?
04:03 That's right. So we've heard just in the last few hours that France is going to
04:07 join over 10 other nations, including the United
04:10 States, that have paused their funding for this UN agency. This UN agency, known
04:15 by the acronym UNRWA, has been really crucial since the
04:20 formation of Israel in 1948 to provide services and aid to Palestinian
04:25 refugees. Now it's decades later, they're still
04:27 in operation. They provide doctors, nurses, medical aid, food aid, as well as
04:33 school teachers to help Palestinians here in
04:36 Palestinian territories, as well in other countries where there are
04:39 Palestinian refugee camps even to this day.
04:42 Now these allegations, I have to stress, have not been made public. The evidence
04:46 has not been made public, but what we do know is that Israel had
04:49 presented these allegations and evidence to the United Nations.
04:52 They said that they took action. The U.S., which is the
04:56 main backer of this UN agency, has said there were 12
05:00 people named in this allegation. We've also heard
05:04 from the organization itself in the last few days.
05:07 They say that they're doing an investigation, the UN as a whole is doing
05:11 an investigation into these allegations. Again, nothing has been made public, but
05:15 the fact that we've seen all these nations take action suggests that
05:18 whatever allegations have been made are pretty grave. But again, this is a
05:22 really crucial aid organization for the Palestinians.
05:25 Especially those civilians that are suffering right now in the Gaza Strip,
05:29 caught in the middle of this war. We've heard from both the head of this agency
05:33 as well as the UN Secretary General urging these countries that have stopped
05:36 aid to restart aid, saying it's crucial for these civilians
05:40 now caught in this war.
05:42 John Gambrel in Jerusalem. The Israeli military has reportedly issued an evacuation order
05:48 in the Gazan city of Khan Yunis, where thousands have fled their homes
05:52 amid intense shelling. Many are arriving in Rafah, close to the border
05:57 with Egypt, from where our correspondent Akram Alsasseri
06:00 centered this update.
06:02 To start with the situation in Khan Yunis is very dire.
06:05 The bombardment is continuous in Khan Yunis area.
06:08 More residential blocks are targeted and the people who are fleeing
06:11 from Khan Yunis area to the southern area of Rafah are being maltreated at
06:16 the Israeli checkpoints that were erected
06:18 and started in that particular area. People are providing an account of their
06:22 experiences, trying to flee from the ongoing carnage
06:25 as they described that is taking place in Khan Yunis.
06:28 They were talking about people who were raising the white flags and are still
06:32 being killed. They were talking about women who were
06:34 holding their children, are still being killed and leaving behind their children
06:38 that were still alive and stained in the blood. They were
06:41 talking about the blocks that were destroyed.
06:43 They are talking about the ongoing warfare in the different parts of Khan
06:47 Yunis that led to the death and homelessness of thousands of people of
06:51 Gaza and in Khan Yunis in particular.
06:55 And in Rafah also the city that has no appropriate infrastructure to
06:59 accommodate the very large number of Palestinians is still receiving more
07:04 of the flow of the people who are fleeing
07:06 from Khan Yunis, people who moved before from Gaza and the north and from other
07:11 areas of the Gaza Strip. Now Rafah is
07:14 overflowing with people and more people are coming,
07:19 more people are coming carrying their hope to survive
07:22 and carrying more fears that this warfare would be chasing them,
07:26 would be destroying their life and would be making them lose
07:30 more their homes and displacing them once again. According to the Palestinian
07:33 Minister of Health, 160 Palestinians, five Palestinians were
07:37 killed today and around 250 were injured. So it is an
07:41 indication of the ongoing bombardment, ongoing war and ongoing
07:46 and continuous loss that the Palestinians are sustaining
07:49 because of the ongoing ground activities in Gaza.
07:52 Yes and we've seen reports that Israelis at the border crossings into
07:57 Gaza have been trying to block aid deliveries into the Gaza Strip.
08:01 What's the latest on the food and medical supplies that is so desperately
08:04 needed there?
08:07 It's the fifth day now that Gaza has no humanitarian aid entering Gaza Strip.
08:13 Kerem Shalom was obstructed, the access of the truckloads was obstructed
08:17 by apparently by the families of the captives Israelis
08:21 and the bottom line is that the Gazans are now
08:24 not accessing the already depleting stock in the market in Gaza. Now with
08:30 Rafah being the main area of gathering for whole
08:34 Palestinians, the suffering is exacerbated. The prices of the items in
08:38 the market are already increasing, many falls
08:42 because of that and the suffering continues and the
08:44 bombardment is still continuous in some parts of Rafah.
08:47 We heard some different news about bombardment in different areas
08:51 of Rafah so it's more of the suffering, it's more of the very lacking situation,
08:56 it's more of the deprivation not only from the safety but also from the food
09:00 that is needed to continue living.
09:03 That was Akram Alsatry in Gaza. In other news, China and Thailand have
09:09 agreed to visa-free travel for each other's
09:11 nationals in a bid to boost tourism. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, Chinese
09:16 visitors have been slow to return to Thailand where they were once a major
09:19 driver of the tourism industry. It's hoped that
09:22 this landmark agreement will change that as our correspondent Jusita Sarkar
09:26 reports from Bangkok. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and
09:31 Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs have
09:34 co-signed an agreement to waive visa requirements for
09:38 travelers between both countries starting March 1st.
09:43 This will surely bring our people-to-people exchanges to a new
09:48 height. There will be a big increase in the
09:51 number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand.
09:54 We also welcome friends from Thailand to feel the vitality and vibrancy of China
09:59 and the hospitality of the Chinese people.
10:03 China and Thailand are as close as one family
10:07 and the two people should forge closer friendships and stronger bounds
10:11 and embrace a better future. Now China and Thailand have
10:14 decided to tear down these bureaucratic barriers allowing their citizens a
10:18 visa-free stay for up to 30 days on either side. It's a move poised to
10:24 boost travel dynamics and economic opportunities for both
10:27 countries.
10:30 Visa-free travel for both countries has never been done in the past
10:34 and it's a very significant decision that shows the strong relationship
10:37 between both countries. As for the economy it will create a more
10:41 dynamic tourism sector as people can travel freely. Thai people
10:45 can also travel to China more conveniently
10:48 and it goes without saying that China and Thailand are family because we can
10:51 now travel with ease. For Thailand this signing comes at a
10:55 pivotal time. A temporary visa exemption for Chinese
10:58 travelers that was implemented in September last
11:02 year is ending at the end of February. So this pact that was signed today will
11:06 likely accelerate the recovery of Thailand's
11:09 vital tourism industry. This is of huge importance because Chinese tourists were
11:15 Thailand's largest group of visitors before the
11:18 pandemic and are seen as key to a sustained recovery of the country's
11:22 tourism sector. Now last year Chinese tourists formed the second largest group
11:27 of visitors to Thailand with around 3.4 million tourists. That
11:31 number is still far from the 10 million Chinese
11:34 tourists that the country welcomed in pre-pandemic 2019. But with this new
11:40 visa-free agreement Thailand's tourism industry is optimistic
11:44 with a target of 8.2 million Chinese tourists this year.
11:50 If there are no longer visa restrictions tourism will increase.
11:54 It will boost the economy and push people to travel.
11:57 For us Thais if we don't need visas to go to China
12:01 and the process is easy it makes us want to go there as well.
12:06 This visa-free travel pact between China and Thailand
12:09 marks a significant milestone in international travel
12:13 post-pandemic promising a resurgence of the tourism industry
12:17 and deeper cultural exchanges between the two nations.
12:21 Lucida Sao Kao, CGTN, Bangkok, Thailand. You are watching CGTN Still Ahead.
12:28 Cultural ties artists from France and China
12:32 take to the stage to celebrate 60 years of relations between the two countries.
12:43 Ever wondered what's the difference between a bear and a bull market?
12:48 Where are the cash cows and who are the lame ducks?
12:54 And what exactly are black swans,
12:58 grey rhinos and unicorn companies?
13:04 Make sense of it all with global business only on CGTN.
13:12 I think it should be more global cooperation.
13:16 I would like to hear more the voice of the developing countries.
13:22 Globalization has lifted more than a billion people out of poverty.
13:28 The green transition has to happen. It's a necessity.
13:32 For China and the United States our important powers in the world.
13:38 What unites us is much more than what divides us.
13:44 And I believe China is committed to this agenda.
13:47 Join me, Juliette Maran, to set the agenda at these times every weekend on CGTN.
13:58 Events have consequences. Words create impact.
14:02 One more offensive in a long line of battles that's been ongoing for...
14:06 Just got to be careful here with some gunshots.
14:10 The world today matters for your world tomorrow.
14:14 The number of casualties is growing quickly.
14:16 Hawaii, this is one of the hardest hit towns in the region.
14:21 The world today, every day on CGTN.
14:26 Hello there, welcome back. A reminder of our headlines.
14:34 High-level talks to free the Israeli hostages in Gaza are underway
14:38 as the United Nations urges countries to reverse a funding pause for their Palestinian agency.
14:45 China and Thailand sign a landmark visa deal to boost tourism between the two nations.
14:53 There have been large protests in Spain against the prime minister's controversial
14:57 amnesty law for separatists.
14:59 The policy would see exiled Catalan politicians allowed to return home
15:03 and many fear that would spark renewed calls for an independence referendum.
15:07 It's also prompted the opposition to call for a rebellion
15:11 against Pedro Sánchez's coalition government.
15:13 Our correspondent Ken Brown reports from Madrid.
15:16 New year, fresh protests.
15:21 Public anger over the amnesty deal for Catalan separatist leaders
15:24 that allowed Pedro Sánchez to retain power hasn't subsided.
15:29 Tens of thousands took to the streets of Madrid waving Spanish and European flags
15:33 to show their continuing rejection of Sánchez's regional strategy.
15:37 The People's Party or the PP insist that this amnesty law is just another step
15:42 towards giving Catalonia an official independence referendum.
15:45 To complicate the situation further, this week declassified documents confirmed
15:51 that Spain's intelligence services were spying on the president of the Catalan government,
15:57 Pere Aragonés, using the Pegasus spy software.
16:00 The government needs the support of Catalan independence parties
16:05 and Spain's justice minister insists the government had no knowledge of such activity.
16:10 Now the PP is convinced that Sánchez will offer a referendum to Catalonia
16:14 in the wake of this scandal.
16:16 Sánchez's PSOE, Socialist Party and partners in coalition
16:21 have repeatedly and vehemently denied that Catalonia will be given an independence referendum,
16:27 saying that they work within the Spanish constitution, which does not allow it.
16:32 Opposition leader Alberto Núñez-Ferrón has called on over 3,300 PP mayors from across the country
16:38 to join forces in a civic rebellion, which could take place before a potential referendum.
16:44 As citizens, we need to keep taking to the streets to show we don't agree
16:50 and our institutions have to try and mitigate the attack against democracy.
16:54 We have to fight this with everything we have.
16:59 We need to say loudly that we don't want our democracy or equality to be broken.
17:04 A big week lies ahead for the government as the amnesty law goes to a vote before
17:09 Spain's congress amid the turbulence of the spying scandal.
17:14 Meanwhile, the right continues to pile on the pressure.
17:17 Ken Brown, CGTN, Madrid.
17:19 People who have worked to bring about Chinese-German friendship over the years
17:25 have been honoured at a ceremony in Frankfurt.
17:27 Those recognised for their efforts came from the worlds of business, culture, sport and
17:31 everywhere in between.
17:33 Also in attendance was CGTN correspondent Peter Oliver, who has this report.
17:37 Celebrating Chinese-German friendship with music
17:41 and traditional Chinese dance.
17:46 At the event, hosted by the Chinese consular general, Huang Yiyang, awards were given to
17:54 eight German people who have made a significant and sustained effort in bringing their country
17:59 closer to China and the Chinese people.
18:02 Karl-Heinz Gaass has a 43-year association with China.
18:06 A former butcher, he strived to build economic and artistic ties between the two countries.
18:12 Some of his Chinese collection from his travels were donated to the consular to display five
18:18 years ago.
18:19 His whole connection with China began because of a chance encounter with a Chinese official.
18:24 It was a coincidence in Switzerland.
18:28 It started something because I ended up taking over 300 flights to Beijing and I was there
18:33 for at least three years.
18:35 I went to China because when I came there, I got through to the people and they had respect
18:40 for me and I told them the truth about everything.
18:45 Thomas Rabe is keeping alive well over a century of his family's relationship with China.
18:51 His grandfather was John Rabe, who as CEO of the Siemens company in China, was in Nanjing
18:57 during the Japanese invasion during World War II.
19:00 Using the large amount of documents from the time that still exist, including his grandfather's
19:06 diaries, Thomas has written a book about John Rabe, whose leadership in the creation of
19:11 the safety zone in Nanjing saved a quarter of a million Chinese civilian lives.
19:17 Looking at him, I admire him because he's an example for moral and leadership, for humanitarism
19:26 here and what he did here for the Chinese people.
19:29 He said, "If you save one life, you can save the complete world," which is mentioned in
19:34 the Talmud here.
19:36 And my grandfather also said it here in other words, "Never leave a friend alone here if
19:42 he is in danger."
19:42 Both China and Germany have a strong passion for sport, and in 1992, when Klaus Schlappner
19:50 became the first foreigner to coach the Chinese men's football team, those two worlds came
19:55 together.
19:56 Schlappner led China to the semifinals of the Asian Cup and changed a few crucial internal
20:02 structures of the national side to bring them in line with other nations.
20:06 But there were a few hurdles to overcome, not least how he communicated with the players.
20:10 Yes, however, I have an excellent interpreter who was in Germany for six months at the Göttingen
20:19 Institute and also in Heidelberg.
20:21 And I come from this corner of Heidelberg, Mannheim, and they speak this dialect, and
20:27 he understood it.
20:28 Yes, but you don't have to understand as much with words as you do at the training
20:32 ground.
20:33 And the players here saw whether I was in a good mood or not.
20:36 And of course, I tried a lot, a lot to get the players to Beijing all the time, because
20:42 it wasn't the case before.
20:44 They were with their teams, and they arrived the day before the international match.
20:48 Worthy winners, one and all, celebrating with a mighty feast and looking forward to
20:55 many more years of Chinese-German friendship.
20:59 Peter Oliver, CGTN, Frankfurt.
21:01 Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso have announced they will leave the economic community of
21:07 West African states.
21:08 In a joint statement, the military regimes of all three countries said the bloc had drifted
21:13 from the ideals of its founding fathers.
21:16 ECOWAS imposed tough sanctions on all three nations following each of their recent military
21:21 takeovers.
21:23 Unidentified gunmen have killed nine Pakistani workers in an attack near the border with
21:28 Iran.
21:29 The two countries are trying to normalise diplomatic relations after a series of tit-for-tat
21:33 missile strikes in recent weeks.
21:35 Iran's foreign minister is due to visit Pakistan on Monday.
21:39 Climate change protesters have thrown soup at the Mona Lisa in France.
21:45 The 16th century artwork by Leonardo da Vinci is one of the world's most famous paintings
21:50 and is held at the Louvre Museum in central Paris.
21:53 The artwork sits behind bulletproof glass so it's unlikely to have been damaged.
21:57 A group called Food Counterattack has claimed responsibility for the stunt.
22:02 Tennis and Yaksinna has claimed men's singles title at the Australian Open.
22:09 The Italian lost the first two sets but fought back to beat Daniel Medvedev in five thrilling
22:15 sets and his win and win his first ground slam.
22:18 The 22-year-old is the youngest player to win the Australian Open since Novak Djokovic
22:22 in 2008 who he knocked out in the semifinals.
22:26 As China and France celebrate 60 years of working together on the diplomatic stage,
22:37 a new project has seen artists from both countries collaborate on the theatrical stage.
22:42 They've reworked a classic in Beijing to mark the start of the China-France year of
22:47 culture and tourism.
22:48 Our correspondent Wang Siwen went to take a look.
22:51 Romance and tragedy come together in this new adaption.
22:57 Artists from China and France recreating the opera masterpiece.
23:01 In 2018, a fresh and modern version of the play Romeo and Juliet was presented at the
23:06 National Centre for Performing Arts.
23:08 In 2024, the play is back on Chinese stage after half a decade.
23:14 Stefano Poda directed the opera in Beijing six years ago.
23:18 He returns to oversee the direction, set and costume design, lighting and choreography.
23:23 The renowned opera is presented in a new and unique way.
23:27 It will not be a repeat but a new premiere.
23:31 The structure remains the same.
23:33 The body of the show is the same.
23:34 But the soul of each person has changed a lot.
23:37 Poda says the National Centre for the Performing Arts has given him freedom to recreate the
23:43 classic.
23:44 It is the freedom of space which offers a technology and a technical mechanism unique
23:49 in the world.
23:49 It's the freedom to experiment without having previous references.
23:53 It is the freedom to create something not just for one type of audience, not just for
23:58 one theatre, but something universal for every spectator of every culture and every age.
24:04 2024 is being celebrated as a China-France year of culture and tourism, marking the 60th
24:11 anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
24:16 Poda says he has tried to create something that transcends cultural and geographical
24:20 boundaries.
24:21 I try to find a synthesis between cultures to show the universality of feelings and of
24:29 Shakespeare.
24:30 The decor can come from architectures from both the West and the East.
24:34 And the costumes are a union of European and Chinese style.
24:38 The centre of the staging is the union of two complementary parts, two opposing spheres
24:43 which complement each other, like yin and yang.
24:46 Shakespeare would be happy with this conception.
24:49 It is shown that the opposing tensions are appeased in a perfect union that combines
24:54 contrast and conflicts.
24:56 Poda describes theatre as the world of dreams and opera as a dimension that allows us to
25:02 travel far away from our lives.
25:04 He hopes the return of Romeo and Juliet to the stage in Beijing will capture the imagination
25:09 of local audiences.
25:11 Wang Siwen, CGTN, Beijing.
25:13 Innovation has always been crucial for small businesses to survive and thrive.
25:21 For one couple in France who lost their jobs in the pandemic, using social media was key
25:26 to the success of their new cookie store.
25:29 Our Paris correspondent, Ross Cullen, went for a taste.
25:33 Chocolates, peanut butter, berries, the sweet taste of cookies is hard to resist.
25:38 But for one couple, it wasn't always a taste they had in mind.
25:42 During the coronavirus lockdown in 2020, they used social media to build a following as
25:48 they began to build their baking business.
25:51 People were spending more time on TikTok and it was my partner who had the idea to just
25:57 start posting on TikTok for our cookies.
26:01 And we saw a massive difference with the growing accounts of TikTok and Instagram.
26:06 It was a lot more satisfying to watch a video of opening a cookie up, seeing what was inside,
26:11 all the chocolate, eating it, whereas compared to just a regular picture.
26:15 The store has more than 46,000 followers on Instagram, but a community of more than 360,000
26:23 on TikTok, which has established itself as one of the world's biggest social networks.
26:29 It has more than 150 million monthly active users across Europe, according to company
26:35 data.
26:35 The social network is expected to reach 17.5 million users in France alone by 2026.
26:42 But the mass appeal of TikTok can have drawbacks.
26:46 It used to be a lot easier to grow.
26:49 Now it's getting a little bit harder because everyone's using that platform.
26:53 Same thing for Instagram.
26:54 When they started their reels, it was a lot easier to grow.
26:57 Now it's slowly going down.
26:59 But YouTube right now is, everyone is saying it's a big hit because of the shorts.
27:04 The growth of the cookie business online and in-store means Josef and Josie are looking
27:10 to expand their offering by franchising or allowing an independent trader to use the
27:15 Jojo's dough name in return for a licensing fee.
27:19 It was the only way to go faster, I will tell, because it's very difficult to have
27:26 a set up the shop all around France.
27:30 So it's going to be much easier and more money, I think, with franchising than open
