to protect civilians in gaza. model austin, also known as the launch of a naval task force to respond to ongoing attacks by human screw fees and commercial vessels in the red sea. the oil john b. p is the latest company to hold shipments through those walters. these attacks are reckless, are dangerous and they violate international law. and so we're taking action to. ready build and 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 an international response. and that's why i'm convening a meeting tomorrow. administer will meeting with federal ministers and a region and beyond. to, to address this threat that i've seen is one of the world's most important shipping lanes. mach of warranty only is director general of the institute of export and international trade. and he says, the latest assumptions of shipping could have
8:03 am
a significant impact on the global economy is 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 straight. all right, t transit moves up for about 10 percent of global contain up oil. 8 percent of the world. uh lpg. uh, go through at 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 delays here really significant for the global economy. thomas monitoring wayne has released a video showing 3 elderly is really captives held in gaza. treating with is very government to secure the release. israel has previously described such videos as psychological warfare. gonna go to all the refresher in occupied east jerusalem. so
8:04 am
the rumors that are having some sort of negotiations of all these talks about negotiations to release, captives held in gaza. now we've got this, how much video of the 3 is really captive? is there any indication that that might help to pressure these really government to speed up negotiations? well, nothing happens in a vacuum, nor noise when this was failed. but it is clear that the 3 elderly is really meant have been held for some considerable time. the video is not being showing on is really media. i'll just see that as taking the decision, as it always does, in these circumstances, the blood are the faces. and there's a great deal of criticism from us for releasing a video like this at these really are me called in atrocious tetra as these really government has said that it is just the psychological propaganda. but the timing isn't a coincidence. as these discussions are rolling, going with the idea that there could be some sort of new or stage exchange deal.
8:05 am
clearly listing this video will put pressure on these really government. and if that's what i'm also trying to do, it has to a degree work with one member of one of the, of the family, of one of the main saying it's no time to start dragging their feet. the priority is to release the horses, get the deal done now, even if that means stopping to fight to. so if the idea for how much was to put pressure on the government, they've done exactly that with the release of this video. all the what more do we know about this naval coalition that the us defense secretary has been talking about as well? if you take a look at the list of countries that are openly involved in that, then there is only one out of country which is body. know they talk about how something will be involved and intelligence gathering others will be involved in the red sea. and the intention is, of course,
8:06 am
that it will detect attacks from the host these. but we've had from a number of companies that already decided to stall that operations through the red sea. this may give them a degree of security, a degree of hope that they will receive, that they won't be attacked by the disease. but it's going to take some time to build the confidence stuff. so clearly, this is an operation that has been in the planning for some considerable time. they believe the acting on it and not even bringing countries together. the issue, it's an international effort, not just supporting israel, but supporting many, many other countries who use the right see as the main conduit, a going avoid doing the red c odds about 3 weeks to every ships journey from asia to europe. so the americans are hoping that this will cause some level of security for companies who use that shipping lane, and fisher and all your bodies to send them out. and thank you, as well as what i've just been talking about. i've ever been indications that the head of the c i a is being meeting cause heavy and is really officials in warsaw to
8:07 am
talk about the possible release of more is really captives held in gaza, project go haynes, following the story from washington dc. so far we know really pretty much nothing even though. 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 some of the bill birds of stature get on a plane. unless something could come out of that. he was there in the region, doing the negotiations between all of 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 violent ministration wants to see happen . and bill burns, i want to point out is fairly unique in the, by the ministration in his respect is ability speak in the region. he was long term
8:08 am
time diplomat. very well respected. so he's been given the charge of trying to make this happen. 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 is where these types of killed at least 9 people in the refugee camp and data ball. and the central guys on the 5 children among the dead residents have been scrambling in the dock to try to pull victims from the rubble of buildings in a residential area. many people have also been injured. that is really ami, says 2 more soldiers have been killed in gaza. it also says $48.00 troops have been injured. they are over the past 24 hours on us military wing has released a new video showing some of the fighting near the northern city of beta here. how

8:18 am
[000:00:00;00] the, you want to go to zeta. reminder of our top story is this are the us defense chief is urging israel to do more to protect civilians and it's war on gaza. not austin's been speaking during your visit to tel aviv is also an on for launch of a naval coalition to respond to who's the attacks on ships. and the red sea is ready strikes of killed at least 9 feet from another refugee camp and dared on by incense and gusts. they live in time to pull victims from the rubble of buildings in a residential area. human rights watch has accused the is there any government of using storm patients as a western of war and gaza saying it amounts to a war crime? the organization that says there's
8:19 am
a deliberate attempt to deprive civilians of food and water but you and the security council is expected to vote later on tuesday on a new resolution calling for an urgent, unsustainable ceasefire in johnson. it comes days after the un general assembly passed on non binding resolution calling for a humanitarian choose more than 19000 people have been killed since israel begun as warren and tobar following a homeless attack. gabriel, alexander has more on that story the 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, is sation of hostilities the united states and israel say that any resolution that has those words and it is a can to
8:20 am
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 of 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 7, 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 veto power and,
8:21 am
and russian, china have used it since october 7th, to veto resolutions by the united states. and the united states has used it at least twice since october 7th, as well to block any sort of un security council resolutions that called per ceasefire. so this is the real issue here. and of course, the general assembly just last week booted over whelming, we a 153 countries, and 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. and the okay by it was by the city of janine has suffered some of the biggest is really army raids since the start of the war on garza bottles. saying i'm going to stuff and pod emetics. so they're being targeted by israeli soldiers as we try to treat the wounded during danny rains. charles

8:23 am
ever before since the beginning of the will do you want to film and slide this medical 6 is way the soldiers who brought these pulse. 6 these very all of us stopping policy need emetics. we jingle transporting wounded and threatening them gunpoint threatening their lives as they tried to save the lives of others, smell. the saudi still suffers pain from the bone injuries you suffer 20 years ago . when this ambulance, he was working, it was attacked by these rarely ami by us telling what the heck of some of the violations are worse now, because they are more file and since the war started, the soldiers force medics out of the ambulances and strip, searched them ordering them on their knees of gunpoint, they trained their guns, laser sites on our trust as a direct threat. and they push the ambulances out of the area by using their military vehicles sob. this ambulance is riddled with bullet holes. you don't get much clearer evidence than this of these rarely armies targeting medical teams as
8:24 am
it tries to get to treat the wounded. there's another hole here. there's a couple here. there's an exit whole here where a bullet is come right the way through the vehicle. and there's another one here on the back door medical teams tell us that despite putting in repeated official complaints to the is rarely all me, they have had 0 response. this is, and these really, um, a bulldozer at the gates of one of jeanine's hospitals stopped to say these, where do you all me surround? all 3 of the cities government hospitals joined to will most likely rage hunting members at the palestinian no resistance. remember that it's of october that this around and stopped the ambulance from reaching this or leaving the stuff to doctors from doing their jobs. the hospital has been hit by 2 guys during which stuff and patients inside suffolk guys inflation sabrin says she wants to go back to work
