between the mice, oil giants of the global noise and the developing nation. so the global south crude mistake. part 2 of $200.00 just the the a un resolution demanding an immediate cease fire in gaza is belong to us. the us uses it's vito power in the security council. the out of the i don't know how this is out. does it rely from? don't also coming up. the palestinian ambassador to the un calls the result of the vote disastrous with millions of palestinian lives hanging in the balance. a very

fair to the day means lives. most people can at an unprecedented pace in middle and muslims, eastern in gauze. and these really attacks continue destroying the strips oldest, most leads for international intervention. that rate grow louder and l d 0. he is accounts of beatings and interrogations, of to thousands of palestinian men from gauze stripped by each variety forces. the united states has used its vetoed power to shoot down a draft resolution of the un security council cooling for an immediate end to israel's war on gaza. the vote was cooled off to you and secretary general antonio gutierrez and vote. the rarely used article. 99 of the you and john to christian salumi reports now from un headquarters in new york. the secretary general made his

case for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and gaza, noting it's not just bombs threatening civilians, but also a lack of food, water, and medicine. the risk of collapse, of humanitarian system is fundamental, the link through the complete lack of safety and security for all the stuff in gaza . and with the nature of the intensity of community audio patients. which as easy as we lead me, think of sex 2 people in desperate need to drop the united arab emirates, put forward a draft resolution co sponsored by 100 countries. it is brief, it is simple, it is crucial. in addition to calling for the ceasefire, it demanded the release of all hostages. 13 out of 15 council members voted in favor, but the united states be towed it as long as the mass clings to its audiology of destruction. any cease fire? is it best temporary? and it's certainly not peace in any see far that lead from us and control of gaza

with an art palestinian civilians the chance to build something better for themselves in the united kingdom. abstain citing similar concerns. russia and china was to the united states and that's a colleague is to show before the, our colleagues from the usa have literally, before our eyes issued a death sentence to thousands, if not tens of thousands more civilians in palestine and israel. while others, including us allies, lamented the implications for international law as well as civilians made it was more in foot proof. unfortunately, once again, this council has failed with a lack of unity. and by refusing to commit to negotiations, the crisis in gaza is getting worse. and the counsel is not completing its mandate under the charter, it can move us to sit on. the palestinian ambassador said the future of the palestinian people is at stake. if you are against the destruction and

displacement over the palace to name people, you must stand against this war. and if you will support it, then you are enabling this destruction and displacement regardless of your intentions. the palestinian and basset are about to take. they issued to the general assembly while the united states and the other players in the region said they would continue to use quiet diplomacy to get more aid into gaza. kristen salumi aus is era. the united nation, the 1st us vito on palestine of the un security council supporting israel was in 1972. it's blocked to un resolutions on the issue $35.00 times in over 50 is 2 out of those vetoes have been during israel's ongoing war on cause of including the vote on friday. the u. s. has vetoed resolutions on these ro, 47 times in old, including of israel's invasion of southern lebanon, as well as its occupation of serious go down heights to finish. ben,

this is fellow at the institute for policy studies and author of challenging and par people, governments and the un defy us power. she said the pressure on the, by the administration to support a cease fire is increasing. there's already a very strong movement that has emerged i have never seen in my years of working on this issue. i've never seen anything close to this level of mobilization of people, of movements of institutions all across the country demanding a ceasefire right now. 80 percent of democrats president biden's party, want an immediate cease fire. 66 percent of people across the country say they want to cease fire. and we're seeing a situation in which just as the us is so i selected within the united nations, the bible ministrations policy on this issue is completely isolated here in the united states. it's gone far beyond now the individual high ranking members of the

state department that we were hearing about. there's now been over a 1000 staffers of the us agency for international development usa id that have signed letters saying that there must be a ceasefire. there are numbers of people within, as you say, the state department. most recently, there were a group of over 500 staff of members of congress who took a great risk. these are young staff who don't have much security in their jobs. who said, we are the ones who answered the telephone in our members offices, and we are seeing that our members, our bosses, are not reflecting what the american people want. foreign ministers from several arab nations and took care of been holding talks with us secretary of state down to the blinking in washington. they're cooling for an immediate cease fire article and has more from the less capital to no public statements. and very few smiles as the us secretary of state sits down to meet with the foreign ministers of turkey. po,

sun cutter, saudi arabia, jordan, and egypt. the resolutions offers this meeting happening just moments after the us vetoed a ceasefire resolution of the united nations against a ceasefire. that is their main demand. we believe there is a model obligation towards the international community to stop thinking of this a good in the status of it is. and it's the 1st time, at least in my lifetime that have seen that quoting for a ceasefire, it became a controversial issue. there's was the unified message to the press and policy experts wording that what they see as a double standard and refusal to call for a cease fire is costing the united states credibility worldwide. i'm not sure how deep is the understanding here of what's happening on the ground. the guys, i mean, this war has broken every record. the largest number of journalists get the largest

number of of us because destroyed last largest number of medics killed the largest number of u. n. employees can the they argued the biden administration is not using its influence with israel enough. our message has been very clear that needs to be at an immediate cease fire that needs to be a cessation of hostilities and we need to have immediate access for humanitarian aid. that is not acceptable. we did hear them say that there will be a need to hold the international community to account without detailing exactly what that might look like. but they did warrant that the hatred and the region is growing by the day and the long term impact. they are afraid this is wiped out 30 years of work and that an entire generation now will no longer be able to even imagine the possibility of peace. pat equal have alj, a 0 at the state department. while these rails related to this bombing of civilian

infrastructure continues in southern gaza, the ongoing assault spock goods and calls from causes government media office for international intervention and more aid and images showing extensive damage to the medieval omari mosca for the further anger among palestinians says with a mux report in russia, the aid trucks pass through but do not often pause. the un is here but cannot always help. and so with adults, a line sick man outside the field, stung by the my husband is missing. i don't know anything about him in garza where the communications are down. we don't have money to spend or to eat and nobody is helping us. situation is dangerous. where should we go? the smiles here, all still possible. but with his 6 young children now sitting in a single tent sonata also economy wants the well to intervene by is nice on the

bottom right is what? we don't want more. we're tired. we want a decent life. know how many family and friends have really low reading the tails of a con eunice hospital, the tiny baby. and it's and it's charlie face and go with dust and despair. meanwhile, gauze as largest most historic, most rendered into rubble by the bombing. while spiraling smoke smoke as the sky line, the gunfire goes on. far above the cross keeps clean. there is little light left for those down below. the marks i'll just say to. his real meanwhile, has declared an area smaller than london heathrow airport as a safe space regardless as displaced people to move to palestinians a being off to evacuate to

a part of the south west them town of milwaukee. the so called safe stone is only 6 and a half square kilometres in size. that's smaller than britain's biggest airport. a ton of capitalism has the latest from rough in southern gaza. the gaza strip had been on the intent is where the bombing to do or the last couple of hours where they use bulky, patient forces had to expand the military operations, of course, which are tweak, including also this house of garza, which considered to be one of the safe areas that the occupation had urged people to flee to a only more than $350000.00 units have been killed during the last 24 hours with more than 550 others who had been critically injured. the situation right now on the south and the ongoing is really rate continue to be deteriorating as a very limited number of humanitarian aid had been allowed to enter the goals. this trip today with around 50 even terry trucks had been allowed to even thought of the

territory to help the people to cope with the off to much of the is really devastation and destruction. of course, the 2 or 3 not roof is the last show for the majority of guns, which has been also on the relentless funding for out the day. targeted by 0. i'll give you a rough, rough on the south of the goal is this trip. human rights groups, according for an urgent investigation of to video, emerged of palestinian prisoners in gauze. a stripped and blindfolded israel says they are suspected fighters, but there is evidence many of civilians, including a prominent journalist. i'm a how many reports, dozens of detainees, you know, must service blindfolded strip, and surrounded by soldiers loaded onto the trucks. destination unknown, he blew, boyce describes to see the

pro, but a scene in activities of fumble critical. the 1st thing jump in my mind when i saw the pictures the to come to want war to be honest with you, or are they treated, you know, victor nissan, those the way to address that or the present or so for i think the, this in a healed man, uh, this is a torture, if the amount of torture and the boat then that it's a water crime, declines, it goes to humanity. is that all he calls this main suspect that fight does. but at least one, the loot is a junior. this a new sit, but a lot of be deep suckled here, a long set, several other civilians that had stayed in northern gaza. b, i has a disabled daughter and a very old mother so logistically it was very unpractical and you decided to stay. we identified him amongst to us detained. we also identified at least 2 kids under the age of 16. both of them were 15 year old and we identified to him can we use of

the united nations under a school man, we identified at least 3 elderly. how about schools, the image is criminal and disgraceful and is really government spokesman. so to defend the detentions, we're talking about military age men who are discovered in areas that civilians was supposed to have evacuated weeks ago. we've been calling for an evacuation of those . how strong holds is, right, said the men, seeing here we face in corrugation, but blindfolded half, and they keep meaning that if mediation is driving outreach, how does that, how much data is ready for his? meanwhile, carrying out rides in the occupied westbank this time targeting the city of hebron and calculate the occupied westbank has seen increasingly violent daily raids since israel began its war on gaza. bulls and 270 palestinians have been killed in soft

trades since october. the 7th us and still the head on up to 0 as the number of tests in gaza continues to grow. we look back at the many massacres, suffered by public opinion. and so to the past 2 months and in other news, us regulate is approved to gene set or piece for sickle cell disease in a significant medical advancement aided by nobel prize winning the search. the have a lot of that from north america, we're watching a number of weather systems over the next few days. the 1st of that is moving across central parts of canada, bringing some heavy snow to central areas like when it pay dropping temperatures down as it starts to push its weight for the east nasa kula. and that is moving

down with central areas, hits that hot if it's rising up from the deep south, we all seen some very for russia storms. the likes of that developing across more eastern areas. we are expecting some the storms last 3 wins and some very heavy rain that will eventually push towards the east coast as we go into sundays. so when warnings out for places like washington dc, now we go to another atmospheric river that's pulling into the western parts of canada as what is the pacific northwest. some heavy snow here, very heavy rain dripping down into washington state. and on woods into oregon, by the time we get into sunday with that snow pulling its way across the rockies, but much quieter, across more southern areas, places like a california heavy rain. however, from that system dripping down into central america, we're going to see some very heavy rain affecting parts of mexico. and the time we get to sunday, touching into cuba. the

unique perspective, the africans are willing to take to the streets because of the sense of urgency that we have, if we don't know more and more lively, lots of voices, you don't often hear problem. nations do stand with pablo sign. it's the same struggle. shared a displacement, connect with our community and tap into conversations you find elsewhere. you see where the political establishment is in terms of justifying genocide, brand new episodes of the stream on how does your, the, the, [000:00:00;00] the

of the back you're watching l to 0. a reminder of our top stores. united states is vito, the draft resolution that the un calling for an immediate humanitarian cease fire, and gas. 13 members of the security council voted in favor of the draft. the u. k, upstate. washington's representative says it would only plant seeds for the next war. is ready bombardment of the new site around the refugee camp and the center of gaza is cute. dozens of college students is rarely targeting areas from the north to the south. 17500. our students have been killed since the war on gossip again, 2 months ago. on human rights groups, a cooling for an urgent investigation of the video emerged of palestinian prisoners in garza script and blindfolded israel says they're suspected fighters, but there's evidence many all civilians, including

a prominent john with the is now a convention on the prevention of the crime of genocide defines genocide, those acts committed with intent to destroy or in whole or in part a national ethnic, racial or religious group. these acts include killing people, causing mental physical hom, creating conditions that lead to a groups, physical destruction preventing but so forcibly moving children when a growing number of experts and rights groups say, israel's minute reactions and causes amount to genocide. as a big takes a look at the mass because that have taken place possibly tools, schools and refugee camps in the all night. i've know removing the bodies from the nissan rob of the children. we pulled them from 3 locations. let's

force displacement of people. the war to electricity and fuel control is waiting for. states have left nothing untouched and no one. my goal is unaffected. women and children killed. entire families wife typed the former director of the you in human rights office in new york, resigned over the organizations failure to stuff which is taking place in garza. i feel quite confident human rights lawyer. in saying that what i see unfolding in garza and beyond is genocide. watson folded on my success, coach act daily. the other half the baptist hospital was bombed, killed nearly $500.00 people and try families were killed in repeat to the tax on the jump body, a refugee camp, the, the us, the who are a school run by the united nations also struck. the bottom line is

already happening when the is really government orders the of 90 way shoes of northern it was committing genocide as of that moment. israel's intentions have been clear from the beginning of the 1st month and was old and mine and billy, according sagal. many behind them is on the getting bid through what israel has said. what is leaders have said, from the top down from the prime minister down is more the eradication of concert using genocide, a language section which has been translated into action by these rate emitted evicting mess destruction and targeting the people of palestine. genocide wrote costs to the world in real time. i said big to 0. the now let's take

a look at some of the news and gene editing technology approved in the us the set to give hope to millions of sickle cell suffers worldwide. the treatment is already being approved in the u. k. and this, the 1st of its time to be given the go ahead ro rentals as the story sickle cell disease is an inherited condition that affects the estimated 20000000 people worldwide, including in africa, india. and the us. the disease is characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells. it can cause kidney failure, blindness, stroke, and early death. and it is excruciatingly painful for me. it feels like my body is starving for oxygen is in and is suffocating, you know, i mean, i feel like i feel myself died. now the us food and drug administration has approved to new therapies for sickle cell disease using gene editing technology

known as chris for a therapy developed by the vertex company, uses a patient's own cells, removed and modified to produce normally shaped blood cells are, patients will come in they will have their stem cells taken out, they released some of them, they get to keep everything else, but there's the stem cells are some of their stem cells are harvested. those go back to the manufacturer. in the case of vertex as product cash chevy. very or they perform christopher past 9 gene editing, where they're actually editing the genes that ordinarily helps regulate, give it to open production in our bodies. however, the therapy is expensive. links the n grueling. there are very few medical facilities authorize to perform it either in the us and see were still in countries like nigeria, which has the largest number of sickle cell patients. so it is going to be

a problem for us to be able to roll this out to where the vast majority of patients with this disease live, scientist believe the sickle cell treatment is only the 1st. so what will likely be a wave of gene editing therapies? for cancer, cystic fibrosis and many other chronic diseases. the lessons that we learned here are the models that we set are hopefully going to be able to. ringback extend this technology out to numerous other diseases where patients suffering with those illnesses who will themselves be able to get a one time intervention that will change the course of the rest of the advice. chris for technology has only been in existence for a decade. future advances may bring medical benefits that doctors and patients today can only dream of rob reynolds l g 0. well, let's discuss this with andre hudson, who's a professor of biochemistry at the rochester institute of technology. joining us

from rochester in new york. good to have you with us. uh, it is clearly a huge medical advance, but it comes at a monumental costs depending which of the 2 therapies are used. $1.00 costs, $2200000.00 for a single treatment. the of a $3100000.00 for a single treatment. so just how many people, how many suffers are likely to benefit and that's a good question i, i think so from what i understand these companies are in conversations with the insurance companies to try to. so dropped the costs down. and i think over time, just like any new technology, that's what it 1st rolled out, is expensive over time. i think the costs will, will go down. but no doubt of having access to these technologies just save lives or to pro long life is a huge deal. but i, i like many others. i'm also concerned about accessibility. especially for patients . um, young patients are all patients who cannot afford this kind of treatment at this

time. i mean, it's not just in the united states, is it because this is a disease that disproportionately affects african americans, historically overlooked and underfunded in terms of research. it also affects a lot of people on the african continent, how will the african countries be able to afford access to these treatments? that's right, and that's great. that mean in the united states, i think one in every 365 african americans are collected with sickle cell. and um, as you know, the bass, a portion of the individuals with sickle cell on the globe or the air and continents, i think as a side effect, governments of the it has to be a partnership, in my opinion, between the government and the pharmaceutical companies. and the insurance companies in order to drive the costs down. so i don't think the best treatments it gets want to be effective or impactful widely unless you're something triangulation, between the governments, the pharmaceutical companies,

and the insurance companies in various countries to kind of get this treatment down . in addition, i think over time there will be probably new technologies that to probably uh, address this issue that are, you know, i much cheaper whether it's because right now you have to go and get stem cells fusions and etc. and spend the day using days in the hospital over time, us thing, but the approach to fix this problem built improve and improve drastically. but this is, i know that a big step um giving that it's has now been approved for, for the, for treatments in a clinical setting. i want to ask you about other applications of this technology and where it might take us in terms of other diseases. to remind our view, is there a 2 treatments here? one is using this technological cris purchase with a slip thing to cuts out. the malfunctioning parts of the gene so that it can be replaced. and the other is something that inserts a modified gene into the body via or this used of disabled virus. where does this

take us in terms of other diseases potentially moving forward? but i think that is a fascinating question that thing g maladies, or diseases that are genetically based on sort of speak best best of these technologies i think have made known for a while, especially the traditional genius therapy or coach. i think for us, for as a lot newer and actually more targeted, more specific and you could kind of, i'm doing it, i think in a more fast way. i'm so to speak. but i think for, for diseases that are genetically based, should that be corrected by these technologies? i think the, you know, it's roommates to be saying how many diseases can, can be toward, or i'm treated with this kind of surgery. but i think the featured surprise because we saw that once you habits the way science work is once you have a model and you're looking for facts that model. i think it's just an improvement from there. given the kind of incrementing. ready nature of science of improving

over time. okay, what a rabbit of good news and really helps in joining us, a professor of biochemistry at the rochester institute of technology. many thanks for your time. you're welcome. very welcome. thank you. bye. now the prime minister, the rocks code, this region is called for an investigation. after a fight at the university dover tree killed at least 14 people in bill rescue workers and 5 fighters worked through the night to try and control the blazing saw around district. the dormitory house students and lectures at the university of surround slovakia, as president says, she will try to block the new ride when governments plans to dismantle the top prosecutor's office. so i'm 2000 people rallied in the slovak capital against the move to close the office. that investigates major crimes like high profile motors, terrorism and corruption focused prime minister robot feet. so once the office shopped it by mid january, a lovely novel, jeanine,

or soft for governments drop changes. also we can the protection of whistle blowers, it removes an entire professional group of police officers from legal protection. this change is done to strict protection from specific investigators arrive at the load. also another decisions already taken in individual cases, which in the states governed by the route of low constitute so retrospectives, an illegitimate interference and established rights. so got them all those present collectors reject to the latest legal maneuver to invalidate his election victory cooling into an attempt to prosecute his launch the series of investigations of to the now to the follow one, a landslide victory in an election runoff in august include an attempt to suspend his political party and to no results citing irregularities in voter registration in the 1st round of polling, guatemala, stop electro courts at the vote. results on an old trouble and they will not order
