salumi reports now from un headquarters in new york. as the secretary general made his case for an immediate humanitarian cease. fire 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. we link through the complete lack of safety and security for all the stuff in gaza. and with the nature of the intensity of community federal potations, which i cc it lead, lead me think of sex. 2 people in desperate need from 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 mos clings to its audiology of

destruction. any cease fire? is it best temporary and is certainly not peace and nbc far that we've some us in control of gaza with an odd palestinian civilians the chance to build something better for themselves in the united kingdom. abstain citing similar concerns. russia and china was to be 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. but it was more in foot proof unfortunately, once again, this counsel has failed with a lack of unity. and by refusing to commit to negotiations, the crisis and 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 support it, then you are enabling this destruction and displacement regardless of your intentions. the palestinian and basset are about to take the issue 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 that the un security council supporting israel was in 1972. it's blocked un resolutions on the issues. $35.00 tons in more than 50 is to out of those vetoes have been during israel's or on gaza, including the vote on friday. the us has veto read resolutions on israel,

47 times and old including of israel's invasion of some of them that belong as well as its occupation of serious go down heights. well, phyllis ben, this is the fellow with the institute for policy studies. she says 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 by his party. i want an immediate ceasefire. 66 percent of people across the country say they want to cease fire. and we're seeing a situation in which just as the u. s. is so isolated within the united nations, the buttons 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 i d 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 antony blinking in washington. they're calling for an immediate cease 5 patty co. hayden has more now from the us capital. no public statements, and very few smiles as the us secretary of states. it's down to meet with the

foreign ministers of turkey, po, son, cutter, saudi arabia, jordan and egypt. resolutions offers this meeting happening just moments after the usb towed, 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 the killing of this to get 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 a 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 un employees killed. they argued, the binding administration is not using its influence, which is real 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 humans hearing 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 warren, 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 particle heading out 0 at the state parks as well as well as relentless bombing of civilian

i came at 6 in the evening waiting of the agencies. the way to my children is starving. you can't find even a bite to bred. our children is suffering due to the lack of bread and the lack of food. we're being told that we would get flour bread, but that was not true. the united nations says no bakery has been active in the northern cause, a strip for a month, due to a lock, a few electricity will to slower others has been destroyed along with funds and food shots. starvation and illness is spreading on the wall top organization says more people will eventually be killed by disease then by isabel's bombardment. is showing how to get a fee on the, on the is the diseases, the pain and what his health isn't good. he's eating himself out there. this isn't milk. this is basically water with this phone or found it even less than

2 months now into israel's war and gaza. the us has vetoed yes. and of the un security council resolution cooling for cease by the, by the ministration appears to be as supportive of israel is previous administrations. and that's been us policy since president truman recognized the state. but the relationship is not always been plain sailing as my kind of reports . thank you for having me. the 46 president of the united states and the 14 sous attempted to confront the israel palestine division on the 1st day of the current conflict. president biden of israel unqualified support, notably, was no cold for restraint. we must be crystal clear. we stand with israel biden's own questioning support, similar to that of president truman who recognized the state of israel within 11 minutes of its declaration of independence in may 1948,

but the position of some subsequent presidents was more fluid dwight eisenhower, richard nixon and ronald reagan o vehemently oppose this rate, the minutes reaction on occasion. the one to reagan israel began to receive $3000000000.00 in u. s. a. d g, a, a strong, secure israel, is a shared interest. the george h. w bush administration became the 1st to threaten to withhold annual us aid. israel continues settlement expansion. the deputy foreign minister of israel at the time was named benjamin netanyahu. and his public criticism of the us threat was greeted with and by the then secretary of state james baker, he refused to meet missing yahoo again and blacklisted him from any state department to interruption. there was consequences. well, there are always political repercussions about or what you're to one on israel. and

i do think that as a result of the actions hate talk, at least in the short term, the republicans law support of the jewish american community. thank you for your statement. your bomb administration took the unusual step up with holding a veto with you and security council of to benjamin netanyahu again, ignored a direct us request. a cub settlement expansion across the resolution. calling for a whole to settlement activity was passed. the question of us a to israel was not brought up, but either the camp david's summits, nor was it raised by president george w bush or donald trump, to support for israel when so far as to recognize jerusalem as well as capital. but now some members of the current congress are suggesting that the mounting economic and military aid to israel be made conditional. i think that so, oh course,

well thought, but i don't think if i started off with that we ever got the more we already know, james baker policy here. no intent to use the millions of dollars of 8 as liberal age because israel is military and political excess. the hug rather than the rod, is this president's choice? mike kinda, i'll just say era washington, these really air force has dropped thousands of pounds on gaza, killing, moving 17000 palestinians, and largely destroying its infrastructure. the weapons used to be launch the west and supplies precision guided munitions, ultra zeros defense edits. alex control us, explains what that means and how they work. damage done to goes, it has been extensive. and it's the more tangible dropped on it than hiroshima. one of the days when bombs were literally dropped in the target fully for loop in palm bay doors. in this conflict,

only precision guided munitions have been used. these are poems that a guided, usually by gps or laser onto the target in siri, avoiding on want to casualties. what are the more common types is the joint direct attack munition or j dan? this is a conversion kit used to upgrade and own guided palm into a precision guided munitions capable of landing within a few meters of its target. a bunker busters another close to bomb being used. these huge weapons are fitted with a delay fuse and a hub in those along the weapon to penetrate deep underground. while these weapons are precise, their will 6th street and the powerful using them on targets in those days. the populated area on us means that large numbers of casualties are inevitable when they are precisely guided, once in a pub, in blog to make killed. the how must corporate to being targeted, but they're also like to kill everybody inside most of the people in the a, by the chef. the building itself then becomes a weapon as rubble as bloss it out, moving at several 1000 kilometers in our palestinian casualties of fluid. as

a result, as israel demonstrates to civilians trapped within garza that know we're safe, hundreds of protest us in the spanish city of getting the full and the human mistake to create the palestinian flag alongside. probably because those painting type of getting the piece to pick the massacre of hundreds of people from that during the spanish civil war in the 19th thirty's, spain is among the few western countries to have criticized israel over its killing of civilians. the now look at some of the news new gene editing technology approved in the us is set to give hope to millions of sickle cell suffers worldwide. the treatment has already been approved in the u. k. and is the 1st of its kind to be given the go

ahead rope reynolds. as the story, the 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 patients own cells, removed and modified to produce normally shaped blood cells, or patients will come in they will have their stem cells taken out,

they released some of them, big it to keep everything else, but there's the stem cells. some of their stem cells are harvested. those go back to the manufacturer. in the case of vertex, this product cash chevy. uh very they perform christopher past 9 gene editing with a actually editing the gene that ordinarily helps regulate you to give it a little bit of production in our bodies. however, the therapy is expensive, links the en, grueling. there are very few medical facilities authorized to perform it even in the us and fewer 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. scientists 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 that us lessons that we learn here. the models that we set are hopefully going to be able to 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 their lives. 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. theory and unit has become the 1st regional block to set the rules for the use of artificial intelligence negotiations from the european parliament to end the blocks 27 member countries agreed to strict rules on the use of facial recognition technology and systems to manipulate human behavior companies that failed to comply will face hefty fines. we have one objective to deliver and legislation that
