the precious assets like the few have been returned, but the still a long way to go on progress is painfully slow restitution because with punctuation on notice here, the support for israel security remains unshakable and it always will us defense secretary lloyd austin tells israel's leadership that's america will stand by them in gauze that all they must abide by the rules of the law. i'm tired of johnston. this is officer lawson. so i will set coming at 6 the austin announced as a formation of a naval task force as humans who sees launch more attacks on ships from the red sea

. the group tells out front any coalition owned by the us in the area. israel says 2 of its soldiers had been killed in gauze and dozens more injured. as a mass fights is continued to launch attacks. the race against time in the survivor, search for office is that the officers very strikes killed 9 p us defense. secretary has been in tennessee of holding talks, has concerns grow of israel's minutes, reactions and guns that speaking alongside. is there any defense chief you are gone . secretary austin said washington with not dictates as well as well. that's for the soaring civilian death toll lloyd austin says he's urged is ready,

need us to do more to protect civilians in gaza. austin also now from the once of a naval task force to respond to ongoing attacks by evans, who sees on commercial vessels in the red sea. the oil, john's b. p is the latest company to hold shipments through those waters. these attacks are reckless, dangerous, and they violate international law. and so we're taking action to build an international coalition to address this threat. and i would remind you that this is not just a us issue is this is an international problem and it deserves international response. and that's why i'm convening a meeting tomorrow. a ministerial meeting was federal ministers and a region and beyond. to, to address this threat,

message ministry wing has released a video showing 3 elderly as many captives held in garza seating with the as many governments to secure their release. israel has previously described such videos as a psychological effect. so how it joins us live now from occupied. east joyce, i'm sorry, in relation to the am i speaking of all of these 3 is ready kept is what can we read into the timing of x rays? it's quite simple. it's, and it's actually because this is the 1st video that's been released since that see . so i came to a very abrupt told, talk to israel accuse how mazda, of not a, by using, by the deal that was made between them and tons of who should be released. now, the video shows 3 elderly is riley's, it's quite different than that. you had a song play in hebrew idols, so one of the family members of an 80 full year old said that so clearly uh,

relative looks a lot older. now what we do now is that some of them also have medical conditions and the way this is going to be received in some wants is some way is that these 3 or potentially live it's not clear the dates line of when this was found, but also it was mainly put a lot of pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu on the military, especially as it comes just a few days off to 3. hostages, were killed by is ready forces, which very much i'm good. the public. when those 3 people, it puts up a white slide. so the timing is important as well because it seems that behind the scenes, there are reports. that's the head of most sizes, right? the most out in the head of the a c, i a has been meeting with a cast re official imposed on to discuss the potential of bringing by that see far

cool. something that will be welcomed by the family that has been probably testing, demanding full that these 5 to come back. because as far as that concerned, since the sci fi and the more of those concepts have been killed. and clearly they want to see those videos of those returning home because local media has been showing the clips of people being reunited and they know that it's very much possible. it will be hard to achieve because clearly how mosse is going to change the, the. 6 the details of this, the saw, they've said that those are remaining on most of the men and defend knowns already in the military, then they would have sides. and of course then that means in terms of a deal, they'll probably be expecting some of those heavy weights. palestinians are also in prison to be released. this you mention pressure that but realistically all we lots is to see any changes in israel's tactics when it comes to civilian casualties

following austin's visit. look the message that has come from the us says that sorry, defense is clearly a lot stronger than the last one. when he 1st came to visit off to the outside, but 7 attack, it's a lot less. it's a lot more a face than the words that he's use. he's made this very clear as divisions are clearly becoming more known between israel and the west. he says that despite that not being a timeline they comp puts will dictates in his words, a timeline. but they definitely want to see israel moving into the next phase. now, what is the next phase? the next phase that they're talking about is potentially a winding down of the kinds of aggression that is being carried out in gaza. he's very unhappy, he's come with a message from the mike, mike bytes and administration that they are very unhappy with the high desk soul.

and they said somebody wants to see these re lease a work on more targeted attacks with civilian numbers of death. so reduced by, despite that, they may be saying that as biden's face has a lot of pressure internationally as well as domestically. but what we're seeing on in gauze are the reality on the ground. so it's a very different picture. so heart life person, occupied easters, and thank you. i to meanwhile in washington that national security council spokesman john cubby said another deal for the release of captives is not yet imminent. he was speaking off of the head of the c. i a met guitar e and is there any officials to discuss the possible release of moist? what are the captives held in gaza? bill burns health broke or previous deal that that to the release of one $110.00 captives held by him as including both these varies and for nationals and exchange . 240 posting is held in is really jails. what freed people hain joins us now.

from on this from washington dc potty. what more do we know about the meeting and also so far we know really pretty much nothing even. busy ca spokesperson wasn't confirmed that he was in poland. so why are people reading so much into this will because when the principles get on a plane and go some place that's usually an indication that there's potential movement, they can send their under secretaries and to do the basic negotiations. but in washington, any way you don't really see somebody build birds a stature get on a plane unless something could come out of that. and remember he is, you mentioned he was there in the region, doing the negotiations between all the parties before this 1st cease fire happened . so now there's no indication. as john kirby said that it was imminent. but it is clear, at least something to the by the ministration wants to see happen. and bill burns, i want to point out, is fairly unique in the by the administration,

in his respect is ability to speak in the region. he was long term time diplomat, very well respected. so he's been given the charge of trying to make this happen at a store and mentioned there's going to be a different calculus when you start talking a trade in just really soldiers for palestinian prisoners. all of that has to be worked out. the fact that birds we believe is in the region, it is a probably could be an important step. and possibly, as we've been hearing the us secretary defense has announced the amount of time kind of mission, what. what can we make of that as well? i can tell you the name they've come up with is operation prosperity, guardian. so, so obviously we've seen who d attacks on, on commercial vessels. we've seen a lot of the shipping companies, b, p oil. busy so say we're not gonna go there and oil prices already went up today. so they're trying to, they've been for weeks trying to build an international coalition. the us has some airframe for some destroyers,

some cruisers that have been knocking down drones and cruise missiles coming from gym. and so they've been building up this coalition. and we have the list now of countries that are going to take part united kingdom, bahrain, canada, france, italy, netherlands, norway, se shelves in spain. so very western focused, obviously by rain is home to the navy's 5th fleet. so i think the us realizes it would have looked rather odd as far and hadn't participate. so the question now though, is that we'll hear more about this in the coming hours. they're going to have their virtual call exactly what these countries are going to be provided. because if you're going to knock down drones and missiles, you need ships for ships in the region, and you need the missiles to be able to do that. so we know that the u. s. has had their destroyers, their cruisers in the region are in that area that will be waiting to see if these countries are going to just offer intelligence international support money for if they're actually gonna send some of their own ships. passing thanks very much indeed for back to update. this is where the strikes on the,

on the news or at the refugee camp and central dogs have killed at least 9 people. the 5 children are among the days residents have been scrambling in the dock to try to people from the rubble of fields in the residential. many people that listen these really ami says 2 more soldiers have been killed in guns though. the also says 48 troops have been injured the over the past 24 hours. the message military ring has released new video showing some of the financing of the move in the city of a u. m. s. fights, as i've seen, striking is really tanks and jeeps with empty tank besides, all right. assume has moved from rough and southern gaza. derek bella, generally out, had been on the east very intense plumbing during the last couple of hours. one of

these strikes had claimed the lives of knowing palestinians including dirt, bella onto the rock refuge account, including 5 young children from the bottom to the same assembly were still also missing people onto the ruffles as the risk you operations in these areas. also continue. now at these areas as well. so i spoke to said that you had been on the east really relentless shilling from the hours of today's morning, alongside with con eunice, which has also been a center of the is rarely at military attacks and where it also a street battles erupt to win the palestinian volunteers, i think is really mandatory. so just now the tax has also continued had also continued in roughly where the number of the policy and have been killed in the latest is what it strikes on. roughly what drives into 8 palestinians, including 2 young children, which means that the civilian casualties also have verizon and the met the complete attacks against residential neighborhoods continues. um, it is spelled is, exp,

expanding its military operations all the another and 2nd to of the territory. human rights watch has accused israel of using starvation as a weapon of what the organization is quoting on. well, the does to speak count against what he calls and i'm hard and war crime. i'll just say era has spoken to civilians in gaza about the worsening conditions. the facing as food and water becomes increasingly scarce, jonah hauled reports now. the more liberal food there is often has to go a long way. if the board once was taken for granted, has now become a luxury. today, a ton unintentionally thought that we're facing more than one more. we face the is really are moving all the shelling and bombardment. we also faced starvation. i have a family of 14 members. i'm suffering a lot to be able to feed them. and unfortunately, this in itself is in other words,

that have how the new report by human rights watch accuses these rated government of the deliberate intent to deprive civilians of food, water, and fuel. the government, it says, is using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in the gaza strip, which the group says is a war crime. i haven't done my model. i've had, well, we never faced surveys and no food shortage in the previous wars. we've never been in tens before. the situation is very disgusting in addition to the lack of food and water, we're human beings, even dogs and other animals can't tolerate to stay where we're staying now. human rights watch says he's really force, he's all wilfully impeding humanitarian assistance. while the 8 agencies report the destruction of bakeries and grain mills, agricultural land, water and sanitation facilities. since mid november, optima is really forces to control the farm land around noon and northeastern gauze

. satellite imagery shows the systematic destruction of orchards, fields, and green houses, all reduced civilian se, food scarcity has driven prices beyond the reach of many statements by us. really official spelling out in clear terms that their strategy or policy is the start of civilians. as a tool, a lot of bridge to achieve local outcomes, whether it be released as hostages destruction from us putting it all together, you reach the clear conclusion that the israeli government is using starvation as a webinar for which is an important or another necessity of life. and then if it dwindling results, world food program says access to water in gauze or falls. well sure to the basic survival level requirement. i think 1st to hunger in a crisis of survival. journal, how elders era

a 12 year old girl has been killed and, and is very attack on the hospital. in con eunice, on the son died when a shell hit the pediatric board, where she and several other children, the sheltering she had already lost her family. and her legs saw the tiny in that house last month she had told out just here about the hopes and dreams going into her living. yeah, i hope to be a doctor to help people. you know, my life is changing. they have gone. we are alone. now, without them, i was connected to this life because i was very much connected to my mother's father and siblings who died. but i must continue despite the fact that i will never forget them a little while do visit to the nurse that medical complex in calling eunice. i will have that fee which i'm not not set up with this obstetrics and gynecology department. enough sort of medical complex has been targeted and penetrated by as

rarely. shells, as you can see on that bad, it was a girl who had her leg amputated after an attack in another area. nissan eunice, the shell, hit her directory and her head and killed her immediately as well. here it did not explode. and as if it had done that, it would have caused a real massacre here. says this is the 2nd time the hospital has been sued by a shell that didn't explode to her. the 1st about early this morning in one of the hospitals, courtyards where displaced people shelter in a large number of tents and 2 people were injured. but yeah, they recommend, i don't have the facility for outside of the this is the children's section. the children were sleeping in their places, including a little girl don't. yeah. the shell penetrated the ceiling and directly hit her. parts of her head and blood are splattered on the wall. as you can see, it's a brutal crime. this little girl had her legs amputated, and her family were killed when their house was bombed, not long ago. finally,

she lost her life. the enemy killed donya and killed all her hopes of the enemy. didn't send us any warning or evacuation order. the enemy didn't say anything before shelling or departments. it's a message to us that we will always be under the threat of being shelled and bombarded any time any day. donia and the other innocent children did nothing to be killed. a civilian displaced people in these tense did nothing to be attacked and killed and get injured. israel's military might be intent on committing other massacres in this hospital and knocking out this health institution. it doesn't want any medical service to be offered to our dead and wounded people in the entire gaza strip. then run a scenario. it is almost the same old scenario used previously by the israeli occupation forces in the l sheep on medical complex. the same method has been used before at the statutes and gynecology department in all she for medical complex lab prior to putting the whole complex under

a siege. could this be the start of imposing a total seizure on the hospital before storming in the coming few hours and days? give us the answer. what do we just get back with them? not, not sort of to be. and so the head here now is the present until the democratic republic of congo campaigns to secure a 2nd ton as a country propose to go to the post the the route to you by visit capital to hi. welcome to look at the international forecast to see some really nice the weather pushing up to use to say both of us is the parts of canada, this area of life pressure. how sweep out of the way as we go on through 2 sites that brought to weather coming back in behind. a traveling wake, of course,

in the run up to what was the holiday season. cool. a dry way coming back in behind . well, in the way of sunshine, i think so i missed some folks any possible with the central path, but for much of the us, canada, it's the can find it. so i'll get out of the way you can see that weather coming into the west coast, looking pretty on several here for tuesday and wednesday months have california thing some big rain for a time. little flower. yes. not a possibility either the rock is the sea on about is also, i think, a little bit of wintry by the eyes of the case to, into west and positive kind of the, just around central pos of b. c may well, some where, where the pushing across central areas of the caribbean, this same chain of stones as the tenant of that system. moving away from the east disabled of the us, bring some heavy rain initially into heights a grassy pushing across into the dominican republic. some really wet weather coming into a place to say some dry weather to the greats around here. this will say some more . the west sunshine, the full jamaica, few showers for the sonata is a few shouts. close the western side of the caribbean, but not the sunny the weather brought to you by visit cuts on

the the the only thing i'll just say a reminder of the headlights us 2nd street defense is in tennessee. hayes

reiterated america's support for israel. the also announced the launch the maritime edition to respond to a tax. and the red sea is the finances and attraction commercial vessels they say of supplying is right. is very strikes on the out about on this and it tend refugee camp central gulf tube, at least 9 people. people have been trying to improve victims for an example of buildings. and eventually, these rarely ami says to soldiers has entailed and goes into the cost 24 hours. that has been seriously injured the message, but it truly has produced video showing that they just fight to you and the security council is expected to evaluate on a new resolution calling for an urgent and sustainable ceasefire and gaza will not

vote was originally expected to happen on monday evening, but it was postponed until tuesday becomes days off. the un general assembly passed and on the binding resolution, quoting for humanitarian see spot is growing international pressure on israel to stop killing civilians in this trip. while the 19000 people have been killed in garza since isabel began next 1 october, gabriel and his aunt, i was following developments at united nations. and some of the security council members behind the scenes are doing closed door negotiations. if you will, at this very hour, to try to come up with a different draft or wording that would be acceptable to the united states. the key sticking point we believe, of course, is sation of hostilities the united states and israel say that any resolution that has those words and it is a can to a cease fire. and they say that would only benefit from us. and so the us would reserve its veto power as it has done in the past. so that is what we really think

are the sticking points. and that's really what we're, we're thinking that they're trying to work out some sort of language there. it should also be noted though they're also in this resolution, it calls for the un to monitor all of the aid distribution in guys as well. that's something that's new in any of the previous security council. drafts never had that wording in it. the reforms on the security council or proposal history for and the security council been going on for many years now. but they've really come into focus here since october 7th, primarily because the security council is tasked with maintaining peace and security around the world. that's really their mandate, if you will, but because these 5 permanent members, the u. s. being one, china and russia being 2 of the others can use their be to power and, and russian. china have used it since october 7th, to be to, uh,

resolutions by the united states and united states has used it at least twice since october 7th, as well to block any sort of human security council resolutions, a code for a ceasefire. so this is the real issue here, and of course the general assembly just last week voted overwhelmingly a 153 countries in the general assembly voted for a resolution for a ceasefire. that's the opinion of the mass, the vast majority of the world. however, general assembly resolutions are not legally binding internet international law. however, the ones in the security council are, and that's why we're watching so closely for any sort of resolutions that come out of the security council to washington has deployed to 2 across carriers and find subjects to the middle east. and supposedly moving mobile ships from the reagan gulf to the gulf of aidan, to the tut, who's the attacks. and the red sea obviously are as defensive as could talk of this take. so they'll count american military assets in the region. miller trade and

support israel's received from the united states as being massive, giving it free rain as it tries to destroy home us. the united states dispatched to aircraft carriers, tried groups at the thoughts of the conflict. the u. s. s. for the world's most advanced aircraft carrier, and the largest warship ever built is currently in the eastern mediterranean, along with his support fleet. the us always in how it is on patrol in the gulf is, must have compliment a fight which is reinforcing the air, a naval assets and the region. a us marine expeditionary unit saving of the coast of human acting is a base, a mobile headquarters for an assortment of high level special forces from the us navy and air force, coordinating regional intelligence gathering, and poseidon naples, surveillance aircraft, and high tech global hawk spike drones be flying up the coast of goza, gathering information on how much and is regional supporters. the us is ring the middle east with fleets of ships,

aircraft submarines and drones. and this is in addition to the us. so for sending jets to jordan and the colossal military assets already in place in bahrain consecrate, and the u. a. american military aid is allowed israel to continue its wholesale destruction of garza amended ensuring the homeless, his allies. i'll see to be intimidated, and the tut from taking any military action for any of my colleagues and this stuff to take us, but to market for june. the director general at the institute of export and international trade, he says the latest disruption to shipping could have a significant impact on the global economy. and the reality is that we are only at the beginning of what could be a long period of on such students instability as you've already highlighted. the entry to the uh, let's say the bob out, my dad straits are a key. transit moved up for about 10 percent of global contain up oil. 8

percent of the world. uh lpg. uh, goes through about 30 percent of the world's container ship that goes through the straits, either on the way to or from sewage. so the implications of constraints and delays here really significant for the global economy. well, let's talk about the supply chain since obviously a busy time of year. we're looking at christmas just around the corner, then to live in a near. yeah. the reason you still have said that the issue is with israel is more on gauze. and so, as you suggested, we could be looking at something that's not just a short time disruption. yes. a, from all of the conversations we've been having with issue that support an international trade members and the why to a business environment. it's clear that they are taking the view that certainly the medium to alternative routes need to be filed. so the delays that you'll cowardly say really fast lead to a diversion, as you said, around the cape of good hope and up around the west coast of africa. and that adds

about 3 and a half 1000 north go miles to the route and the, the costs of the fuel, the costs of increased insurance. and the fact that the ships and the containers are then out of place. this disruption just escalates. you know, the ships and the core to get quotes that they would do to be actual, the rubbing lights at the ports where they are due to be which causes of delays and congestion reports which impacts the consumers. so all of that means that the costs for consumers are going to increase. okay. do you think an operation like the one that the us defense secretary is own showing up? teen named? i say operation and prosperity guardian will not do enough to, to bolster the confidence. so the big shipping companies, presumably, were looking at some military patrols. a, i think is nobody giving assurance to the shipping companies whose priority has to be to say it's called the cruise,

but also to the insurance industry in the insurance sector, who then underwrite the risk. and the reality is that i have great concerns that if you middle tries in this environment, that you, there is a even greater risk of escalation that's bringing some of the wells news. now cities preston's got mail or it says they'll be no more votes on the new constitution. off the voters reject to the 2nd draft on sunday. the lights this to our friend them came more than a year off to people reject to the 1st draft seen as more progressive. and you propose text was described as conservative and market friendly presidential candidates and the democratic republic of congo holding final campaign route is head of elections on wednesday. thousands of support as of the presence of phoenix, which is a k, the government congestive he's running against 24 opposition count it's among them is important for you to.
