8:20 am
the pictures. the 2nd one was to be honest with you, how they're treated, you know, make any sense. those the way to address that or the present or so for i think the, this is your man. uh, this is a torture. if the amount of torture and the motor then that it's a war crime and declines, it goes to humanity. is that all he calls this main suspect that fighters but at least one d. i a loot is a junior this a can you see? a lot of be a good deed suckled here. along side, several of the civilians that had stayed in northern does the 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 had identified to him can we use of the united nations under schools?
8:21 am
man, we identified at least 3 elderly. how about schools, the images, criminal and disgraceful? and it's really government spokesman, so to defend the dictations. we're talking about military age men who are discovered in areas that civilians were supposed to have evacuated weeks ago. we've been calling for an evacuation of those. how strong hold is, right, said the men seeing here we're facing corrugation but blindfolded half. and they keep meaning that if mediation is driving outreach, how does that, how much did you say to the convention on the prevention of cry? the crime of genocide rather defines genocide as acts committed with the intent to destroy in whole or in part a national ethnic, racial or religious group. these acts include killing people, causing mental physical hobb, creating conditions that lead to a groups, physical destruction preventing bus so forcibly moving children when
8:22 am
a growing number of experts and writes groups phase rails minute reactions in god's or amount to genocide. as it beg, takes a look at the master cuz that have taken place, the hospitals, schools and refugee camps. and 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 garza 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, carjacked david,
8:23 am
the other the baptist hospital was bombed, killed nearly 500 people and try families. we killed them repeat to the tax on the body of refugee camp. the the us, the who were schools run by the united nations also struck the bottom line is already happening when the is really government orders. the evacuation of northern is uh it was committing genocide. as of that moment. israel's intentions have been clear from the beginning and the 1st month and was on in my and deadly, according so go. how many pilots have done is on the why getting bit through what israel has said? what is leaders have said,
8:24 am
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 taking mess, destruction and targeting the people of palestine. genocide wrote costs to the world in real time. i said big to 0 as well. joining us for the pro some analysis. now as you'll see, michael book, he's a professor of international relations and associates, the fellow of the mainland program, a chatham house. many thanks to you for being here. israel expressed to the missing, you know, government rather it's the lights that the us veto data resolution cooling for us. these 5 at the un security council. how much longer do you think that these rel can expect to rely on the united states, on questioning support? i think quotes we hear these clinton victory messages for washington. about how
8:25 am
long is that it has until there is a ceasefire. and the united states washington won't impose the veto in the secure, with the cancer sums that we hear. it's the until the end of the may be nearly a bunch of remember, we are 3 weeks before the end of the phase 3 weeks off of this intensity of, of, of will, will fighting as a huge price. so i assume we are talking a week to maximum of 3 weeks, but i think for the kinds of looking, what is the aim of this will when he is at least saying the nation of someone else? what do they mean, however, the fine, everybody's asking the same question yet. and then this on the government seems to be saying they need till the end of january to achieve their objectives. exactly what all those objectives, what, what still in the mission accomplished for, for his ref. i, i'm gonna so she'll days when they go home and it says those exactly, well that because if it, if you just go backwards, you know, it's,
8:26 am
it's set to mind. it seems the old style to how it started because he said it was cool. coats by surprise. books, you know, they, how must sit down. so they need to make, they will start to g. is do when to load. know, and the definition of what does it mean, what does the exit strategy, what does it mean victoria is it's easy to eliminating all the leadership of, of, of how most, in, in, in, in the guys capturing those in, in, in, in the, was being some of the talking even beyond even beyond pine this time is it until the last most militant, basically so and those are all that's that they need to define for themselves what it is. and then like i said, there's this sort of uncomfortable reality, isn't there that 2 months into this war, they don't appear to achieve very much. they've got some cap tips back. some of the hosting hasn't come back. but in terms of the grading come us in terms of degrading it structures, it's combined structures important it's,
8:27 am
it's ability to function as a government in gaza. there's not much to show for that. is that, and that's again, one of the mistakes that say i'm is do is counting builders. and this doesn't have that level constituents actually winning a will. we need to will is extra the use then the ability of the sites actually to, to amount to charlotte and simulate the challenge deal. and is this the question now? sometimes we lose or so sites on the bigger picture, what their friends did they after signing with ko it's a matter of time and unfortunately, how much blood should on, on, on, on, on the way on the votes towards towards the ceasefire. yeah. but then the so, so to think about about the big picture, what happens the day after, and even delves to so many contradictions of what's going to happen the day after deep inconsistencies in what happens the day after that all most looked like to the brute obstacles in the way of anything coming the day after, because you've got these ready government saying that can be no homicide control in gaza, but equally saying no t a e that. so who's meant to do nothing?
8:28 am
you know, who says israel doesn't want to occupied garza, but he wants to retain security control. just so what he's going to happen often which they don't seem to know and they don't seem to be making any clear effort to decide either and this. because all the list that you mentioned means that actually is or wants to vacuum, follow the fall vacuum there, which is have been well. so he's going to enter into this about something has to happen. if it's not how most we can understand, but from these early point of view and is a dozen small tools to fight, then the logical conclusion of this is some sort of the p until the into the for and, and takes of it's, it's a process because we know what the state of guys i know and the need to reconstruct guys, and this, this is a match or flow to weeks or months lease and metals or fields can see the different station in, in the gaza. i think there is any funding til next monday,
8:29 am
involvement in the region, one and way beyond this, but at the end of the day there should be would that included the policy? no. so with your full but a single thought, the out of it spoke to finally starting and it should be governed by the policy and also with so many questions you'll see medical but many thanks for your time. now let's take a quick look at some other news. this new gene editing technology approved in the united states is set to give hope to millions of sickle cell suffers worldwide. the treatment has already been approved in the united kingdom and is the 1st of its kind to be given the go ahead anyway, rob reynolds has the story. sickle cell disease as 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,
8:30 am
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 dying. now the us food and drug administration is 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 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. some of their stem cells are harvested. those go back to the mat if.
