due to the southern part of the fact also that the southern part right now is very densely populated with residents as people do but find any safe shelter in these areas. we are talking about to $200.00 pounds city as have been killed during the last 24 hours with more than $300.00. busy palestinians will have already been injected during the stay and according to the government media office in the church, which they had announced that the death told, had sort past a 20000 pounds. the news alongside with more than 53000 of those who have been wounded as well. and an unprecedented number of journalists, eric have also been killed to tell us about the latest casualties. it's yes, 100 pounds to be in joining list have been killed since the russian of this conflict inside guns. uh the uh, the vast majority of them have been killed along side with the assembly. a members of those had been killed as they were reporting on the ground at the latest is very

violations by the, the attacks on the only directed towards during the list. but it's also against condemn. it's meant to come work as a civil defense team on o classes, independent living community. we're talking about 8000. the child has been killed during a since they october. the 7th. 8000 dreams. do not see lights. i will not see lights anymore. we're talking about a wide range of destruction inside guns. this trip, and the attacks against the strong list continued to silence the past. the narrative um to, to force palestinians to not reports against the latest is ritual crimes. but what we noticed among journalists is that there are a great determination to keep proposing on to deliver the voice of palestinians that look around the globe topic. and we thank you for a terry capitalism. thank you very much. that's the course fondant in southern gaza with the latest staff were a palestinian journalist and gaza and not just covering the war. but i also living through it as we mentioned at least

a 100 policy. and during this have been killed in the conflicts so far. odyssey and officials and guys, i say that number could be much higher. more than 15 media premises or offices have been completely or partially destroyed by is really strikes that includes the office of the a, f pete 0 in garza, hundreds of palestinians during the send their families including our colleagues, the now to 0, have been forcibly displaced. they have to abandon their reporting equipment and offices in the north to live and report on to a very difficult conditions and it's frequent communications. blackouts during this working in areas of on the coffee shop, protected under international humanitarian law, dress like civilians under the geneva convention. but israel has been accused of violating rules of law repeatedly. when i speak to tim dawson about this, he's the deputy general secretary of the international federation of during this joining us from london. thank you very much for being with us, tim. first of all, what is your reaction to this staggering desk?

so i've done this and gotten i'm absolutely horrified, i don't think we've seen a desk told of journalist of this concentration in any conflict that i can think of that we're about to 1000 janice and gaza at the beginning of this conflict. and while they're a slightly different counts of, of, precisely how many have died, i'm, if between 7 and a half and 10 percent have died, that is an extraordinary high number. i mean, just to put, i think, a little bit to proportion. i was looking up the depths of combat soldiers and was over the last 100 years. and if you look at the american marine corps in vietnam for example. so these are the soldiers who were going to be facing the most intense fighting with the most highly trained who were going to be in the most the most dangerous situation. the 5 percent of them lost their lives during the course of the war. and the gen listing, gaza, they have only cameras and microphones, notebooks,

they continue to return to work despite this absolutely mind blowing death toll indeed is israel came deliberately targeting protestant, ingenuous, and gossip. so i kind of say, i've spoken to a great manager and this thing goes on that is that widely held belief that there is no question in the minds that that's what's happening. some of them have related to me. they receive frightening calls from people proposing to be from the idea of warning them, but they're going to be trying to get to know that family is going to be targeted in, in the coming days of conflict. i think saying absolutely certain what's happened in this conflict is going to be very difficult so much of cause i like them but not so much of this has been conducted with enormous problems that you know, the know rid of it this trial. but i think looking at the figures i'm looking at well, got some jet and the believe, i think is very hard to say that as well doesn't have a case to answer here. all right, there was an interesting article 10 in the washington post

a few days ago asking whether where rather is the outrage over israel scaling of journalist in guys that course individual weston journalists have denounced this. but media institutions as a whole in the west have been relatively silent, don't use it on the desktop of journalists covering is there as well on casa, why? well, you know, the clearly, all people who have an instinctive feeling that they want to support israel book belonged to this concept continues. the more people died it would seem needlessly. i think people's minds are turning in that, that piece in the washington post i think, which was timely and quite a brain space. i think people's minds are to and again, and it becomes impossible to ignore such a terribly, terribly hypo. so for all of you, right, i'd like to see major news platforms making more of a noise about this. i'd like to see people joining our to the mountains that the international criminal court investigates this. i think people's minds are turning

. right. and i do want to ask you about what you do at the international federation of during this. i mean, despite the killings, as we heard from my own correspondence on the ground, despite the obstacles they're facing on a daily basis. these journalists continue to inform the world about what's happening in gaza. what is the international federation of during this doing currently to help protect during listen, guys, or what's being done to ensure that palestinian during the se in garza and elsewhere are respected and protected as well. it's a simple, practical level. we have lost the appeal which has been widely supported to provide actual but you know, by the released good fortune a. so for example, early in the conflict, we provide a less trauma packs that were handed out on the streets to jan this reporting. and we know that some of those have been used when we don't just have been hit by smart device and have saved our lives. we will add to that, you know, protect, invests,

and elements, and other equipment to that time. it was, it was there to get it. almost all the gent listing guys are, have lost the homes. they've brought to the left possessions. so they're living in terms of simply getting intense and sleeping equipment and kitchen equipment, his voice, well prior to so at the practical level, we've been doing our very best to get a into a lounge. and this thing does have to continue working on his instructional level. we've been trying to be able to come pay them to build support for the international criminal court to, to investigate. we have been, we, we have tried to meet with these way the governments to make the case to them that they need to ensure the soldiers are working in such a way they do with respect to international law and to protect generalists live. i was going to ask you, what type of pressure you're putting on on these are in the government and whether you think they'll be accountability when it comes to journalists getting in. gosh, i think it's very important that there is, i mean we have repeatedly tried to contact and an and hold meetings with these right and government. my colleagues, the general secretary went to the west bank. i'm trying to organize

a meeting with these where the government, they refused to meet just him. so we're doing a level best. but i, it would be remiss of me to suggest that these writers have been anything other than reluctant to engage. and, you know, i fear that given this death told us because there is some, i don't know whether that rogue forces or whether it's coming from the tall. but something is happening amongst the ideas which is leading to an awful lot of generalist tasks. thank you for talking to his team dawson, deputy general secretary of the international federation of janice. thank you for your time. i or one of our journalist on the ground and guys i hadn't heard every sent us this report from a palestinian during this home. indeed, the se right refugee camp in central guys are wanting to argue is that this report contains disturbing scenes. i'm currently handing on the rubble of the house of the journalist. how much teresa in the service refugee camp. the scene is horrific.

here are bodies that are still trapped under the rubber a can use. 20 palestinians have been killed in 4 are still under the rubble including children. and this house was had at least 18 palestinians that were internally displaced and see this 3 story building as a refuge after they were called to evacuate from the northern parts of the causes. let's walk. people are trying to remove their bodies from under the rebels where they're trapped are under here, sorry for the image. it's very hard and unsolved. but unfortunately these people do not have any equipment. 3rd, thinking with their own bare hands trying to remove these bodies that are trapped under durable, according to the family,

there are activities for still dropped under the robot and they have been trying to help them and to remove them. since yesterday, as you see, as they're trying to remove them from under the above, the ceiling. besides, the above us is partially damaged. here people were looking for winter clothes and for blankets. they were trying to take the remains of what's left of this house, the the people who lives here were taking their clothes their blankets because the weather is very winter and they're homeless. learn right now. this is the seeds that we have been using since the 1st day of the war on cause. and the, the air strikes continue every single day,

people in this area and surrounding this area. and then my guys and in the state off in other areas in the gaza strip, have been called to evacuate. what people are telling us that they don't have any place to evacuate, and there is no place safe. this isn't the whole city as a 0. with a doctor for g come because of pods time or much of guys and now lies in ruins. following continues is really bone being an occupation by is really ground forces. bodies are lying, industries, building stuff and destroyed in both those houses. here is a nice house for me for some the tell as that on neighborhoods know. so the jabante, a refugee camp and a warning that he's report contains upsetting scene. so that was a few months since the zach thought who know it. we are in the tells us, enabled on the north and that you're finding a refugee camp that it was on the seas be imposed by these radio occupation forces for more than 20 days off the apartment. i assure you me, oh no sir. i know y'all, and when we came here, we saw the bodies of thousands of people i showed by is ready for lang in the

street. oh, come on, i'm sure i do know. i saw a show how the i can also see this guy left the destruction caused by the is really bombarded. we bought a heavy, a lot of the car go posted in your medical team and haven't managed to reach the area because of the c o to the neighborhood is totally destroyed. the seems a very difficult to take. and as you can see, the bodies of many data people, lang everywhere know the model, color heavy. i mean, there is schools around the indonesian hospital was so heavily bombarded. i mean has mccann a how we looked at it yet and this is, randy. minute tree vehicles have tried to advance from these stories to was that your body a refugee camp? palmer did the hassle should be chem and who know they started from the streets near the indonesian hospital to was the to allows us a neighborhood coming to them

a how it is a don't in a month to put the azako. oh, not the model paula. and as in the show, other streets and buildings, an infrastructure only being destroyed, of the neighborhood is no longer habitable because of the mass of destruction, the amount of share ahead national and that, that you had done in almost a sure i would have the most fish from now moving in the direction of the allows the hospital to which has been on the siege for more than 10 days. i left it up on the, on with the or has he, i'm with cisco who know the general manager and then some of the medical stuff you'd be interested money, occupation forces as well to help them with special i would the awesome nor to sorry about that. yeah, dean push to teach for 18 days. no one was allowed to go anywhere. if someone tried to move on to shut them immediately, the old, the old people inch, i mean 20 and 40 to go out the house and make it in groups of 20 out of band center the florida actually. and actually the easy, the forces to go with the force good as well as dr. how are your follow? should have 10

a got cut off with dish ro i for the mother of danielle. the next day they came again with the doctor. how much money and they took some administrative people. then they took those above the age of 16 addressed only their underwear, and they took about $8.00 to $6.00 people. and i'm not going to do so that's all you need with the modern man as inquiry. now, why not rejoice really on how game you and destroyed all the buildings, you will leave me out the hospital and these 2 ladies were on their way to the hospital to deliver their babies on zillow. john, come on level folder uh, woke up, i got a job offer that has been the one of the most killed and he's bodies under the rubble . so these really bulldozers kills them. oh, well i come on. just sit down. let me see how um it is come on, because there are other pregnant women in this area,

what killed the to the pregnant women without mercy. all of the fireball come up like a lot. i live in queens and get the one who i should do in a few months, but the thought that the house of visit the scene and the tell us that the neighborhood has been under siege for more than 20 days. the mall seeds, i saw the destruction and dead bodies in the streets. there's the medical teams have not yet been allowed to put them on the study. if i just see all some of those or the head of the media office in guys says they have multiple testimonies that is really true. carried out executions of palestinian cities. what's the she had the validation to fit. it is lucy. testimonies from people who said is read the army executed more than 137 postings and gaza. and the north they did because with tens of civilians were buried while they were still alive,

then executed others by shooting them at close range and buried them. using bulldozers, dozens of others were also killed in front of the family members. do patient for social security, pregnant women, who are on their way to all of the hospital in the north of casa, while carrying white flags. they were shut from close range. let's discuss this and other developments in gaza now with hassan barry who was a professor of international affairs of contact university. thank you for joining us. so we have israel being accused of executing civilians in gaza. israel being accused of targeting journalists in gaza. what does this suggest to you about how they're conducting their operations and guys are right now and what it says about where they're headed in this conflict. it is a statement about what this rate is stand for. i mean, the minister of defense,

a once remarked that a but a scene is out even some human a, even with the words and the most referring to the palestinians. and, and this is a kind of a complex, a superior to complex. and he looks down to them if means that he'd be humanize the palestinians and demonized them so killing them. something is the logical conclusion of kind of or this mindset. so i'm not surprised that they really think this way, actually this is a fast exam as tactics i mean, used in 19 for a, the old, the mexico's even after the establishment of the states. it was in 1956. there was the thumb through mexico and they met some civilians. they were going back home and they shot them all. or maybe more than 65 or 70 people to wish for that in, in less than a couple of minutes and is documented about this. and this is actually, this is a video story, is we'll discover that data is ready to themselves and there's never justice or accountability for him. oh no, you know, because if they kill the,

in many cases when they can live in a scene in big good to find, you know, some find me with this then 11 that are, you know, it again, it is a reflection of the way they look down at the senior, so targeting civilians targeting very pregnant women kind of thing also gives us this. oh, i think fine with these ladies. as long as this serve their on objective in the world, they want to finish the what they want to terrorize people. and they want to push them leave and, and, and these are the tactics is by them. all right, tough and stay with us because we want to talk about what's happening inside israel right now. relatives of, of these really captives being held in guys that have been protesting in tel aviv to pressure. these are the government to do more to secure their release. bennett smith is at this protest for us. tell us about what's been happening for us for an totally the relatives and friends exporters of the account. it seems in gaza. i here every night, but on a saturday night it's the main one and this is the 12th ship boxes is riley's

coolant, but they have to do this now. clause wants to stop today all hope and the told was about the prospects for possibly cease fire. we know we were talking about how a category american, these really officials and that's on the side, a representative from homicide method, gibson, security officials in cairo and house and suggested that his role is offering a one week ceasefire. return for about 40 practices, particularly within the elderly, and the sick, and how, how much was demanding a complete ceasefire. cessation of hostilities before they would go any further? what is going pretty quiet. since then we've not heard much in recent days. i'm the original mist frustration on the relatives, on the friends here. we people have been talking about how they want been released now. we've had one full not ami, a role in the navy saying that we should propose a prisoner release, but how much will not turned out everyday. is it not for the common saves?

and of course, the psychological fia, the relatives, or friends of dying dogs, at least 6 captains have been reported dead this week. it was no proof of that death. but those are the records coming from gauze audit skies. and i also reports printed of more is really soldiers killed in gaza. yes. 5 is riley soldiers for $42.00 of died. i'm that was a moment's silence at the beginning of this event. pull those, these rarely soldiers, but an indication of how much this is traumatizing this nation, and how much this nation's control over time by workshop and the pain many is riley's still feel. so i'm going through this country, prosecute this war, and thank you very much for that. prentice may apply for a set in tennessee. well, let's pick this up with hoss. i'm very again from catch how university. as you saw, the more pressure on this now it would seem the government would these protests the

news of most soldiers being killed in gaza? does it really put more pressure on him or do think it doesn't matter what the people at home is saying? he's going to go on with, with his, what he calls is objective enough. what will it does, but a lot of pressure on him and because he knows pretty well that the vague public does not trust him. there's a deficit and fast and efficient and or pull is actually indicate that the really public does not trust nothing else. and he knows this very well and, and also they have the feeling that nothing nathaniel is, is not taking this as a priority. like for leasing, they hosted his and he wanted to continue the war so he doesn't really give a lot of attention to the grievances of people and the need for the people in the caps or to go home. and there's a way i know it because it's really public understand that there's a way, if you want to do this, there's a price, you have to pay the price which means own for own. and this would be for me to

present to the buy how much i think it's a win win for both side, but nothing. it was not interested in that as long as he can continue the war. as long as he enjoyed the blessing and the backend with americans, you want to continue and, and this is the problem for him is intended. it's about cause. yeah and, and i know you've been watching the coverage of the war. a news, riley, news, really media. how much of a disconnect is that between what these really public is being told by it's for cabinets by prime minister miss. now, when, what is actually happening on the ground in gaza as we know it over there is, there's a huge disconnect. as i told you before, and that to me, always trying to present the different picture of what is happening there. but the media now is picking on a discrepancy is a picking on what they say as his lies and, and conducting the war. and, but only certain media and that's leading media and it's the media of course, and the also the, the time to expose the, uh, the bankruptcy of his propaganda about the war. and now he's fine also too many

play the public by saying that, you know, he received letters from the families of the kill soldier saying, go on the door, you know, they need to be jump needs to be done. and because you want to offset the pressure amount is by this time it is of the hostages. so he's trying to play a game, and now it all boils down to one. it seems that the one thing that and that to me who wants to continue the war they want to pay for, it fits with the, made it over there for the scene. and this is the only way that he can get off the hawk when, you know, when i, when door comes to on and he went to the c, it has the ones who it is right in to a victory. because the, the moment of truth is coming and is, is fast coming. and he is going to be blamed by everyone in his file by the left and by the right. interesting. thank you very much for talking to us about this hassan, very professional international relations at katara university. joining us on the news our and still ahead on the program christmas celebrations are canceled in bethlehem, in

it's completely up to see the sadness this year is felt strongly amongst palestinians because of what's happening in gauze or in the occupied territories. but there's one place that's trying to reduce that pain and bring a bit more joy amongst palestinians. and it's sons. is house in the old city? 25000 people that visit sciences grocer haven't turned up to see it. but nevertheless, santa still says he wants to spread a message. my mother's this year is different than other years. my message is wishing you hope, love and peace from the heart of the world, jerusalem. and i want to wish you a merry christmas from i bought all of my heart from the ho ho ho we land or bethlehem is reviewed by christians as the birth grace of jesus christ. this time of year, the town is usually packed with thousands of foreign choice. but the war on guys

means most a staying away need of the brain reports from a nativity scene, which represents what's happening at the moment. or it doesn't look anything like christmas here in bethlehem with palestinians and christians around the world believe that jesus has been born more than 2000 years ago instead of the big christmas tree with the lights as well as the christmas carols. we're seeing an m c . manger square here in bethlehem, and instead of the 3, there is this artwork that has seen the rearrangement of the traditional christmas grow to, to resemble the pain and the suffering of palestinians in the b. c. school district . virgin mary holding baby jesus in a way that resembles the mothers in golf the holding their babies. after being bombarded the 3 wise men who have been bringing in the traditional christmas story gift to the holy comedy are holding whites coffins. you know,

this scene reminds palestinians, a lot of the images that have they have been seeing in gauze of it doesn't look a lot like christmas. i. let's hear more about that from beth lens may or had not had any of who's joining us today. can you tell us how you and the community here in bethlehem are feeling in this day? are actually in holidays, bethlehem in morning we've the we feel so sad. we are as an essential part of the scene and community. so we counsel the celebrations and says to me, it is this year and christmas season. and we put this model as you will see, to reflect the reality. it's what's happening and goes a step that is aggression against our people. there is the genocide and weekends this time there is a snake cleansing and we are a jet the because this isn't a humidity the, the is that i,

even if you fission via lifting the international law by lifting the human rights. and from here, from beth line, we are sending a message to the international community and to come here to stand with us to get an cause and to force as our head to stop this aggression against our people. usually all eyes turn to bethlehem during this time during christmas. do you think people are looking to best land are looking at the suffering of palestinian nowadays? i believe i left a message when receive and all over the world. that's why we decided to have a clear message from bethlehem to the hardware. and again, we are going to the international community from bethlehem and this message to step this aggression again out again. so what are people? thank you so much and you know, as you can see here in bethlehem, it's empty. it's a city that has long depended on tourism as its main income. but instead of

christmas instead of celebrations, there is a lot of grief. there's a lot of social and there's a lot of pain. is that, but he didn't just eat on bethlehem they occupied with us as accused yvonne as being involved in a tax on commercial ships carried out by humans. who is the rebel go? washington says the ron is providing drones. miss silas and tactical intelligence to the group that's attacked several ships in recent days. the biden administration recently announced the naval coalition, who's the attacks of mostly targeted ships near the bottom and job straight and narrow sea passage between human energy booty that connects the indian ocean and the red sea. my soul said don has more from general t west several countries including the us have military bases you, one has not officially responded to accusation coming from the us here. however, previously 7 and new officials, including the fort administer,

yea to the war in gaza from the attacks in the red sea. and they say that texting the red sea is an international crisis, and that's why they're trying to build up any international coalitions here to handle these crisis. but so far that has been very little commitment from the countries to these international enabled uh, naval questions you falls easily as the pain they have rejected to officially drink this international cooperation. and some of them are the original companies even do not want to be named publicly due to the point to go says step is we can see that do yes, it is really trying hard to form an international fuss full for you. reality that has been very little progress, especially said that people to drones dry cause damage and is really link shape in the arabian sea. $372.00 dom it is off the coast of india. there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the strike,

a large town in the east of germany. for months the party has been surging in the national polls and as ami came reports from pay and they have high hopes the regional election toy regional elections next year. for many germans, winter is a time for christmas markets. and in that sense, po now is no exception, but in another sense, it's unique because this town has just selected as it's matt tim last amendment open links to the far right policy. alternative for germany. many people here on sure what to make of it. so i think it's okay that finally someone else is in the job that they might have a different perspective from the main parties, but maybe things will change here soon as well. i'm please, i was do decide that this happened. let's see how things turn out to me last night . we'll take office here in the town hall in february representing in moments of trying to him personally, but also for the if day, this is the 1st may oh election victory in this country. it's also

a demonstration of the strengths, particularly here in the old east germany. the one on the list says it's profiting from the main stream. potties errors the best label to day for the 50 would be for the entire green or the entire vote party in germany. and because of green politics will no longer appreciate this that's much by a big percentage of german population. and being folk is not that are attractive for most germans, eva on average, the policy is pulling around. so she's the science across what was the old east germany, but in 3 states were important to election. so do you in september? it's a leading stomach all the way out of the crisis to return to reason, stop mass migration, by closing the borders and ends migration magnets such as citizens benefits, basic child protection, passport, fraud, and residency for everyone who comes here. the main stream potties of always ruled

at working with the alternative for germany on any level, but that was when it was struggling to win votes. now it's hard to, to ignore this election so nice. there are many are really, will be a really devastating moment. i think for germany, because we will see that there will be governments which can only be billed by an old party coalition against the of this on the surface life in eastern germany is calm, but it's clear the tide of far right. populism is rising. here. september's elections will show us how high dominant cane al jazeera p on the us supreme court has declined to consider whether for my present donald trump has immunity from prosecution for crimes committed during his time in office. special council. jack smith, who is prosecuting trump over his role in the capital,
