assigned the same struggle share of displacement, connect with our community and talking to conversations you will find elsewhere. you see where the political establishment is in terms of justifying genocide, brand new, as he says that the stream on which is the, or the at least a 103 people, a cube, and a series of laws to the ceremony mocking for years since the assassination of the radiant general custom setting on the, on harry full. so this is i'll just say we're live from the also coming up. flagrant is really aggression on be route as well as leader class. i'm not sure on the premises, the response to the assassination of a senior hamas official

a group of nations including the us ones, humans who sees to stop their tax on the red sea or face the consequences. and the war and gaza rages on israel intensifies the test strikes and across the street more than $222300.00 to means had been killed since the conflict began the beginning around with president abraham racy and the supreme. lita i tell ali how many how about a hush response of the twin bloss killed at least a 103 people in the south of the country. the explosions happened at a cemetery in the city of carmen during a ceremony at the 2 of a senior radian general costume study money, or even a $170.00 people had been injured wednesday next 4 years since the senior general

was killed in the us drone striking of the airport in iraq's capital bank died. presidents abraham racy, has now cancelled a planned trip to 30th. and today morning has been declared on thursday already failure. i spoke to, to, to parsi, who is executive vice president of the quincy institute in washington dc. he says iran is responsible, depends on who's found responsible for the explosions, unclear who could be behind it, but you put your finger on some of the potential culprits. of course, we have seen an escalation between yvonne and israel or the course of. ready the last few weeks just about 10 days ago or so, these are at least did assassinate and move on in general. and certainly obviously the cheese attack is really ships and the frustration initial that in their view, yvonne has been able to get away with a lot of measures against is would you also have ices related groups who have conducted the terrorist attacks and you've gone in the past none of this scale,

but nevertheless, of similar kind. and you also have any k terrorist organizations used to be on the us as the service. and all these they have engaged extensively in terrorism side of the lawn. and they also work closely with these various particular when he came to us as a nation of the volume sciences. so if it turns out that is the m k, then the question is, was there also is really damage i suppose, depending on who it's found to be will to some extent determine the nature of the writing and response. but senior, any leaders are promising such a response. what kind of shape might that take? again, it's very much depends on who days and so that it is the audience do have a ballistic missile capability that has become increasingly accurate. they have targeted specific buildings and houses about the middle east and the boxes are yeah . now square in the past in which they say the terrace else we're hiding. that has

committed access her against you on the as well as the the house on the straw that has said tuesdays. assassination of a senior sufficient in beirut will not going onset, cooling it. flagrant is really aggressive. so our rate was killed in a drug strike. and lebanese capitol, along with 6 of the house members, israel has not acknowledged responsibility for the strike that says oil, how much lead is a target colonial term of the 7th attack. and that's what it says as well, that will not remain silent. and yes, if the enemy thinks of waging war and lebanon, we will fight without restraint, without rules, without limits. and without restrictions, a lie, they know what i mean. then you effective a. so whether consider is going into war against us, will simply regret to a will against us, will be very, very,

very costly. we have so far being consider towards the situation in lebanon, and the lebanese national interest. so if it was wasted on lebanon, then the lebanese national interest obligate us to go into and so the, and without restrictions, what on the planet was a to hold a is inmate with more details on what has on us are allowed to say. you said that this crime will not go on, punish the assassination of mazda. the 2nd in command seller who was to, in, has follows strong holes. but at the same time, it was a very delicate balancing act that her son, no swell up. first of all, he talked about the front in southern lebanon, has the law is engaged in a low intensity conflict with the israeli army, a long death border. he is saying that it will continue both sides really have been calculating their attacks, ensuring that it doesn't become a trigger,

a full blown conflict. he's saying that that's will continue. but at the same time, he's saying that that doesn't mean hezbollah is not ready for war. and that israel is as well decides to launch a full scale offensive. hezbollah will fight back with his full military capabilities and threatening this way. it is such that they will pay a heavy price, but has the most run. the also kept talking about the strategic national considerations that each of the so called resistance groups and this axis of resistance across the region have to take into account and in loveland on how some the sort of the news that is real can destroy this country. as rarely ministers have said that they will level phases that they will level the southern subjects of baby for half a 1000000 people live. yes, as long as it has the strongholds, my husband has faces and offices, but it is also a residential neighborhood for half

a 1000000 people live. where will these people go? so in many ways his hands are tied, but at the same time the reiterating that as well as not the afraid of war and that if it, if it comes to that, it is ready to wait to confrontation, right live now to honda salute in occupied mysterious then honda, when we were talking about 24 hours ago in the optim off of this assassination in beirut, there was various of our lead team to these ready media that is real, didn't expect the kind of response that it couldn't contain from has. but i do think that that situation still pertains now after the speech. well, it's all yet to be seen then in terms of is really reaction to know, sit on the speech this evening. there hasn't really been any, though we do know these really is we're closely watching every single word. but he had to say,

we also know that yesterday after the assassination of solid and r duty on lebanese soil, there was no reaction from is really politicians. but rather just a statement from these really armies spokesperson that they are prepared for anything. and that they're on high alert. seems the cross border fire began on october 8th, a day after the war started. really, these really have said that they are on high alert. they've been visiting the border. they have been deploying more troops there. but there is no really sense of what kind of plan these really are drawing up when it comes to how they want to deal with this. but no said i love the said a few words that i want to point to specifically mentioning israel's defense minister jo, off the lawn to said quote, he will not achieve his will goals. so while there are some threats coming from his beloved, we're not really sure how these really are going to act on it. and remember, he also said, but if a war is waged on 11 on,

they're going to flight back with no rules. we still don't really know the full capabilities of what has bola has in their arsenal, but we do know that the types of weapons they have far surpassed the capabilities of what we're seeing coming out of gaza. all right, how does all of that and occupied easters, then thank you very much for that update. as i mean i did state it says it was not given advanced warning of the strike on the route which killed at that top on us. official comments came from the state department, which excuse me, also denied any us involvement in the bloss in iran earlier right now to washington dc. and she hubbard, time she was at the state department that she have. what was the main thrust of the messaging coming out of the state department briefing? and we're just out of the white house briefing as well as i can. i cannot about 2 of their very simple as you would expect. the same message rate as you say. no indications of israel was involved. both joan could be the national securities

folks, but that's what is going to cover the specs as in the state department where it's from fed. that's about the no reason to a rather believe a trace route to speak for its own actions. master matthew miller side of the state department, but then john covey also said, we're not in a position to confirm specific or thoughts on how it happened or who is responsible . no indication that is what i was responsible for, for the root assassination. which is interesting, give them 24 hours ago. and on the condition of anonymity, us officials did tell american media outlets the washing and plays the old times. actually, all of that israel was responsible and of the us had no advance notice and that we should expect more more attacks. now if people who may have been involved or responsible for the turbo tax on iran, we have similar message them that they buy sympathy to the victims. they have no indication as to who was responsible. no reason to believe israel was responsible. and earlier,

there was another statement from united states and its allies on the issue of the shipping in the red sea in the repeated who's the attacks the what was said, the, the yes or the 2nd half joints that was on 12 and ations, the u. s. australia buffering in belgium, canada, denmark, germany, italy, japan, netherlands, new zealand under u. k. of the white house briefing about half an hour ago john copays, that's the single full of now signed onto this. but it was basically just an expression of principles. we here by reiterate the following, ongoing, who the attacks and the red sea are legal, unacceptable pro, profoundly destabilizing that message and i'll be to record for the immediate end of these are legal attacks. but who are things will bear the responsibility of the consequences? should they continue to preston law? it was in the global economy. we know we have this new just new task force that was set up by the us just before christmas operation, prosperity, guardian. it was quite everything that was cracked up to me. we were told to expect some amazing multinational loans. i think it was time to about 20 countries off

with them, so they didn't want to be identified. many of them, like i've never been said, well, i think a right, there's another country to i think it's an old will give to people, maybe 3 people, st shows that they weren't getting what to actually contribute any results. and so this, so that was a bit of a dump squared. we have mosque, then the normal shipping carrier just in the last 24 hours, once again say they were facing that red feed transits. so clearly i guess the white house and this coalition, suppose it needed to, to say something again, but it's still very unclear as to what exactly uh, operation, prosperity, guardian is doing what it pounds and what these consequences for the who things may be. or actually harbor time to the in washington dc. thank you very much. and we're going to stick with the story. the united nations security council is debating that ongoing conflict in the red sea. where who the fight is, a targeting ships, they say are links to israel fronts, which holds the rotating presidency of the council, called the meeting. coming, bacon explains what these disruptions have been doing to the shipping industry. as

the new year begins, commercial, maritime traffic on the suez canal is down by nearly a 3rd compared to a year ago. and 2 thirds of container ships cancel their suez bookings just last week, as who days continue their attacks on commercial vessels. major firms have stopped using the canal, so where are they going? many are sailing around the southern tip of africa. container ship traffic at the cape of good hope has nearly doubled, but vessels carrying oil liquefied natural gas, metals and grains are also diverting to the southern passage. and that's not only due to the conflict in the red sea traffic at the panama canal, half a world away has also been reduced due to drought sailing around africa to avoid the red sea ads over 3500 nautical miles, 10 extra days. and millions of dollars to a trip between europe and asia, a fuel mix up half of, of vessels, operational costs and more fuel means more emissions. and that's just as the european union is charging new tariff edit sports to curve them. and for us more

expensive goods, just as governments are trying to use inflation. if you, for example, we're talking about the containers i, so that's the was coming from agency, go to that usually takes $35.00 days to go from asia to europe. i saw by adding another 10 of these on top of that not means, but the base is between asian, you are going to be less on a year. so that means that the cutting capacity of the vessel and the company as well is going to drop. and that kind of cutting capacity is appropriate because that's how the shipping companies are making money. developing countries that rely on food commodities already diverted, due to the war in ukraine, could be hit again. because another thing we have to keep in mind is that when all the vessels are going to, i mean 20 days from today, because at the moment they're taking a detour and they diversifying, i don't know if it got. but when all those vessels are going to live into the ports, then maybe we're going to see some kind of a congestion of a that's following the 1967 arab israeli war,

the suez canal was closed for 7 years. in today's more connected world, these few crossings are even more valuable for the spring and james bass diplomatic editor who is at the united nations in new york. and james a not the 1st time the security council has met on the because the conflict more broadly. but on this specific issue in the red sea, this part of the expansion of that conflict. is there any more prospects, the progress that we've seen and how the meetings, or how do you mean things on this very issue? and we actually had the security council come up with a joint statement at the beginning of december. i don't think there's going to be any progress towards anything more than that. some sort of resolution, which would, of course, be binding international law. i don't think there's an appetite that from some security council members, we've heard a short time ago from college. the key out a, he's the assistant secretary general of the un full political affairs. he talked

about the further alarming developments in the red sea, particularly, and he talks about attacks almost daily by the who sees, but particularly the attack on the 31st of december. when there was a response to a who's the attack on a single co pull plug like contain a ship. and that resulted in the us military action with, with, with who c bites being sunk. and about 10 people being killed. in that incident, the security council members on now hearing and you can see a briefing them by video link from a senior dominguez, he is the head of the international maritime organization. that's the un agency based in london that deals with international shipping. and he's made clear as you just heard in collins report, how vital this particular route is 15 percent of the world's trade. the security council members very concerned the us speaking now in the security council about

its concerns about the political situation about the escalation of because of war uh too much be, be on the area or of gauze or but also the worry about the global economy. all right, james, at the united nations. thank you very much. i the still ahead on the 0 will tell you when businesses shots across the occupied west bank, also the killing a seller the the weather brought to you by visit castle. hello. i am pleased to say that the weather is now quite and down. of course, that is to sort of a stride exhibits. shala's brought the reason spell of severe weather and time storms. that's now just pulling away surprises,

guys coming back in behind. so if the shabby ran down to was the, the southeast to raise the light pressure just running through a high pressure in the tasman, keeping it dry, inducing the full the time babies can see the west of weather that comes into southern parts of new south wales across that a scenario of victoria move just not just wait a little further north, which as we go through the rows they into friday, scattering the showers, the west as well even into the interior space. halting alice at 40 degrees celsius temperatures around $32.00 celsius. the full past couple weight generally drive it some bits and pieces of freight possibility and wanted to spell sliding across and out of both a little bit of weather coming into south australia. so the channel system shouts into that eastern side of victoria and the shells store. they are ramping up. you know, just once again, just around that eastern side of the south, west pushing towards the person in the gulf coast to possibly see some localized flooding coming in. here show us will make my way across new zealand. meanwhile, we'll see some wet weather and some winter weather, grassy,

making his way across japan. and eventually tony dry. the weather brought to you by visit castle. unique perspective of africans. i'm willing to change the streets because of the sense of urgency that we have if we don't know more and more lots of voices, you don't often hear from all nations. do stand with paula spine in the same struggle share of displacement. connect with our community and talking to conversations you will find elsewhere. you see where the political establishment is in terms of justifying genocide, brand new episodes of the stream on which is the or the,

you're watching. i'll just remind to about top stories this hour. president abraham racy. i'm a supreme leader. i tell a lease. i'm in a about a hush response of to a 103 people were killed in 2 explosions in iran. it took place during a sermon, a to mock the full set of us rates are these explanation of a senior general customs set of money as well as the the house on us rather has said tuesdays assassination of a senior sufficiently, a root will not go on answer, cooling it. a flagrant is really aggressive. salary was killed in a drug and striking the lebanese capital along with 6 other. how much members? united nations security council is discussing the minute translation of the red sea with who si fi has a targeting ship space, a legs to israel for us, which holds the rotating presidency of the group called the me just be no less up in garza with israel continuing it's bombardments of the central and southern areas of the strip. rough uh has been hit hard by is really strikes. residents have been
