isabel stadiums, and it's real easy. but does anybody believe it's doable? what this is real for? i'm gonna say it back to us foreign policy. and what are the long term consequences for the region and the world? a quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line. the, [000:00:00;00] the so i'm real about this and this is the news, our life and bill. how coming up in the next 16 minutes, one percent of the student population in gauze has been the system optically decimate. as a landmark hearing begins with the international court of justice, south africa accuses israel, of committing genocide against the people of gas and the occupied was fine

qualities are held in support of the case being made by south africa. meanwhile, israel's attacks and gosh, continues 14 people have been killed themselves and said, you have fun eunice fund. donald trump has the code for the closing arguments of a multi $1000000.00 for trial. we're going to be live from new york. the south africa is asking the international court of justice to urgently hold what it says. our genocidal acts kind of dodge binds really forces in gaza. the country wants for you and the top court to issue the so called provisional measure is to order israel to end it's war. michael awful begins coverage. south africa tells the international court of justice please be seated. the world is witnessing a textbook case of genocide on fold in gaza. this killing is nothing short of

destruction of palestinian life. it is inflicted deliberately. no one is fed, not even newborn babies. peace comes, it is thought to legal proceedings against israel in the union's highest legal body looking to show a patent of large scale, homicidal destruction that qualifies as acts of genocide for the past. 96 days is where it has subjected godsa to what has been described as one of the heaviest, conventional bombing campaigns in the history of modern will. fair. south africa is arguing israel's military campaign since from us as a tank one southern israel on october. the 7th has been nothing short of a systematic destruction in whole or in part of palestinians as the population group. as we stand today, one percent of the student population in gaza has been systematically

decimated and it will not be allowed. in order to establish intent, south africa's lawyers say the court has the benefits of simply being able to listen to the words of these really leadership is right. is political leaders. me to try to come on those and pass those holding fish on positions have systematically and an explicit tens declared that genocide, the intent of messages filtering down into the rank and file of these rate. the only thing proud the met him president genocide language says 10 big a new kind of toby comes from the very tall to no side. i told him says oh, the full not all spin the fringes. they are then boarded in states pointlessly, palestinians, of separate 75 years of oppression. 57 years of occupation and 16 years of

a siege on garza. and for all that time, israel for use has regarded itself as beyond and above the law. as to you in special rep which you on the occupied pellets post interior cheese explained in 2022. and i, quite of the occupation by israel has been conducted in profound defiance of international and hundreds of united nations resolutions with scant pushed back from the international community outside the court in the streets of ramallah and occupied westbank. and among those crammed into an of a smaller sliver of land in gaza. saw that because given a hope to people crying out for the suffering to be seen and literally the dying to be heard. michael level elder 0. well, the syrians being watched closely in the occupied palestinian territories. and israel's not correspondence or following reaction across the region of that document is in from electronic abo resumes and guys are 1st we're going to go to

satisfy that in kind of a. so is there, it was already commenting on these hearings before they began. what kind of reaction is there to what's been happening over the last few hours? well interestingly road we haven't heard from the prime minister himself, but we have heard from the fund is foreign ministry spokesman saying that the allegations all a baseless, accusing the south african lawyers of being an of how mosse, which is quite a while ago allegation without any backing to that, but also other ministers saying, but if anything, it's how mazda it should be in the dock. so it should be held accountable for the trusting fees that they carried out on october the 7th and not israel. public media has also been discussing this at length of course, looking forward to these ratings presenting the case tomorrow in response to this.

but some of the things that they have been saying is that. 6 the war that's been carried out against those in gaza is been justified because they didn't choose this . well. the best uh was a forced upon them by hum us. interestingly though, there's been comment trees on the video. is that what broad top in the quotes showing of ministers like best law, smart trick cheese. the finance minister a been debated, the national security minister making inflammatory remarks against the palestinians, calling for other countries to take them in with the on saying that they should take voluntary migration. now, the public opinion here and certainly the discussions in his writing media is that they believe, but it's the kind of language that was used by such an hard line ministers. that is the reason why this case has come about. but listen,

israel is fully aware that sped public image mattresses. and even though this isn't legally blinding binding rather. 8 it has further ret precautions a snowball effect for later on. certainly, especially when it has the backing of countries like the us with the us secretary of state and on to the banking inside of we've had just assaulted his statement the day before yesterday. cooling this completely merritt list and also we've heard from the white house spokesman overnight once again saying that israel had the right to defend itself on the will is justified. yeah, you were just mentioning there, that is really is very conscious of a public and global image. it's going to be interesting, isn't it? when it presents fits response on friday, i haven't got any indication how that might be framed, what kind of process it might go through to present it. there are reports and it's on confirms because the government and so it's in need

of 5 minutes to have remain tight lips on this. but they're all reports that potentially some of the families of those still held captive and gaza might be attending whether that will be used as witnesses as to what happened on october. the 7th is on clear up, but certainly if you look at the number of caps is a still in gaza. oh there's more than half of those that were taken across the on that fateful day. that is still, that there's also discussions as to the fact that the argument presented today was very clear, was factual. and also in terms of the, um, you know, being sensational. that's what's being discussed actually on some of the news on the media channels. but also just to give you an idea that some of the media has been explaining that is ro is in going to be in the quotes as a pub pitch. right? so this time, not as a victim, and the reason why they're making that tire cetacean is to explain how this is

unprecedented. this will be the 1st time and israel's history for it says fits in the quotes suddenly in the international courts of justice on it is concerned, they'll be putting an argument forward, which is likely to focus on what was done to the is riley's and the mass killings of israelis on october the 7th. i know so we certainly know that they'll be bringing up right accusations as well as motor accusations and what they also cool summary executions that happened on that day in terms of what we have been seeing already. there has been a campaign in the netherlands by the government where they've been putting up bill boards. they've said to put that voice across to say that they won't be silence and saying that those that have been held captive, including some of the children and babies can't be present by themselves to testify . so they will be testifying on that the house goes on to say there's going to be giving you complete coverage to what happens in the i c,

j and the hang on friday for not us are hot and thank you very much. indeed, a lot of settings and guys, i say they've got mixed feelings about the cold hearing of the hague songs. feel hopeful and proud of self advocate for bringing their case to the international court of justice. all those say they've lost faith and the world's legal systems will and then measure off his eyes in what is going on. and guns are right now must revitalize the international institutions and must reactivate the role of the international system. well, the world must investigate what has been done in a gone, so can see, and i'm taking this matter to the court gives all citizens confidence that there are few people in the world who still believe in justice. and i come off the list any of the but the i hope is a palestinian citizen, living in gaza for decision in favor of the palestinians. in reality, we haven't yet found any decision that can help us to return to north gaza, or to bring a change to our real life. the situation here in rafa is miserable. women and

children of the ones who suffer the most. we want the international court of justice to help us and to stop these riley genocide against the palestinians. the will must come to an end. we need to go back to our house and live in freedom and peace. and lo do. why do i'm not gonna, i don't trust this cool and i don't trust the outcome is joe knows everything about the outcome. and the result, even before the court session is held, as ro is committing genocide and gaza. an israel knows the result in advance. we are the defense, this palestinians standing alone without any support from arabs seduce and the well let's go to that job in a shot. the whole of guys is tired and the people are exhausted. i don't trust the international politics. the only freedom on this country in the world is south africa. i hope other countries, on the hour of countries in particular, will follow in the footsteps of south africa. i doubt i'm not going to go to the topic, all those rooms and those are off on, in southern goals and going, but the people we've just heard talking to all just either there are some people

might be confident in the court. more people seem to be more anxious about just trying to avoid is really attacks and trying to find food. so yes, this is obviously what is happening inside garza strep isn't so costing freights in going these days on a folding and securing that food supplies in order to survive and does the following. also the software, jim's submission today to the, to national course of justice regarding a to using israel or preaching the applications regarding the, you know, active nation genocide convention. and also, i told you the international court of justice that these rel must stop unhelpful kinds of military apps on the ground as darkening palestinians across the territory . and this is what really a, they've got the south africa had stated earlier, completely much is the reality on the ground and in terms of the level of disruption, complete village,

just being wiped out by the many trees and civilians being killed despite all these valley and military spokes person and also officials have stated earlier that they are moving to a more high, precise attacks. of course, the goal is districts and to are trying to avoid civilian casualties among citizens . but what we see on the ground is that palestinians have been getting through complete our rustic days as they are completely failing. that's a part of them feel that the, the, the, the international court of justice will of bring justice for palestinians while others had list completely faith international communities. due to the numerous numbers, all the decisions on resolutions made by them to completely support palestinians on to at least to still prefer to be use very on going attacks on palestinian people generally april spanish find them. now, in order to know more about this, we are joined right now by he loves a jar, a dot to use a specialist in international conflicts to know more about the reaction towards the uh,

the international court of justice. a submission today by south africa. just thank you so much, mr. lot for joining us today. we'd like to know what your action as an international specialist of international conflicts about the south african submission to dates to the united a, to the international court of justice. that's using is rather for preaching the principles of the united nation. doing a slight convention, a lot of the act chavez sitting in the boat and goes or say, unless i include when it comes in this mission of from south africa. this is jim could do it as the of the for june. and so both exhibitors tend to be bored aside and did their can get this stuff back this over be i'll be more on at jimmy side doug this the civilian beeble distraught. different thing. part of that we hop in this voter to see if there's an option for our view board or anybody to stop the profession. and it gets to serve on was by god to have that independent for i want to just didn't have to be able to have

a stip for that the same step. but from south africa it's good the some work that we hold. but from that that was for me to still be is what is up to say and be more or is it because the child, what do you see? sure, i just wanted to say for that's we is she a problem? so so, so i've got this to, this is to very important for us in this part. okay, thank you so much for your valuable time. and this is how to send in generally are seeing this a part of the m. c. it has a very historic event that to criminalize that as well, and at least to bring justice for people who have been, i'm tied to occupation for more than 17 years, while others had completely lost the faith in terms of the principles or also resolution spike by the international community regarding bringing justice and at least turn quality for gaza strip. this area that had been going through completely devastation for more than 2 months. right now inside the territory. convo isn't

involved in southern gaza. thank you. 7 a valley is being held on from iowa and the occupied was bank in support of south africa's genocide case against israel. palestinian try miss. i'm a how much fat has been not the gathering is how the side of the african flag, as is repeated his backing of its case in the hey, if killing 20000, but as being young and does that is not 0 side. what do you reside? this in getting 60000, but as the know then does a is not general side. what the 0 side, if this throwing to a 171000 the houses and does that is not genocide what the 0 side is for and started sputtering 1600000. but as being us from the solve is not genocide . what does the genocide is? the day when knows its days when, when, when is that gaze, when would it be in victoria? yes. all the companies in the ramallah in the occupied was fine. i would imagine

that people in the occupied by somebody could be watching what's happening in the hague. very closely, just talk us through what's been going on over the last few hours as well. they have been watching very close and i think as much as israel is worried about the it's image being boucher. many palestinians are hoping that we're through these proceedings. they're cool. for just as is going to resonate more among many around the world, people have been watching. and flo see, they were supposed to be quite a large riley earlier in the day. but because of very bad weather, just a trickle of people showed up. but the message, wherever you turn is the same. thank you. south africa because you have to remember that part of the palestinian authority has been doing similar steps at all and is o. it has filed as a, with the international criminal court, what date,

ledges of war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated by israel over the decades. and it has also a hearing scheduled at the international court of justice at the end of february on the impact of that decades long occupation. so as to, to the now south africa, a 3rd country bringing such a file and maybe by listing is have what's that closely? and many would tell her that they were very impressed by what was put forward by how well it was research by how well the case was articulated for everyone to see and hear. so certainly, ballast is a hoping that something will come out of that, mainly because they know that these proceedings could take years to reach a final outcome. but they were hoping, at least at a provisional measure that would cool for a ceasefire. many knowing that even though it's legally binding is ro could

completely ignore it, but they hoping it will be a 1st step to put pressure, not only on israel, but on western bowers, who they say have been back in israel for decades before those guys are war and now during the does a war regardless of the suffering of palestine, you many say that what south africa did new, our country has ever done football as this summer has gone. as far as saying that was, that was africa. did many listed infections. they didn't do for them. so certainly there is a sense that maybe finally, the listing is, will be heard on an international arena that, that were meant to. we're pick up and maybe the image that they see or their image, which is bachelor's in many corners of this will, will be restored. now, many also i'll said that they will follow as closely what will happen tomorrow, how, what is will will put forward. what is will,

would be saying about the palestinians and about what has been unfolding in gaza, but certainly a step that you get a feeling really when you speak to people that it's a beginning for palestinians to have that sort of dignity restored on an international level for the amount of hold and thank you very much indeed of all of them. all of them is topic as minister of justice. speaking of the hey gallia, you said there's no excuse for the genocide and gas on the well as watching hold on is published and then men, women and children were slow to blown up. they did a life under development of their homes, live to die pin from dead. i'm going to, i'm in under the sol supposed because i was, i was thinking of a 2 to 3000 that through destruction room scores most produce water treatment plans and other public infrastructure that didn't pass the conditions of life. it is calculated to bring about the destruction in total in parts of the palestinians

living and cousin. so the guys i knew what kind of condemned the talk by i'm us on the 7th of october. so i'll just say this prominent miller said this update from john, his book of what is happening and what has happened and goes out for decades originates very deeply with many south africans, simply because of south africa's own history of institutionalized racism apart, dates and oppression. many south africans have come out in support of this move by the government approaching the i c j and wanting a ceasefire in cause of the supporters of this move. i pulled it a momentous occasion, one that they are proud of, and one that is likely to set a precedent. the african national congress, the governing party in south africa once and the duration party has for decades students solidarity was palestine, and this is a part of that was made by the former president, nelson mandela, who would said that uh, south africa would never be free if palestine didn't have

a freedom, and this is the kind of sentiment that has trickle down to millions of south africans. we have also heard from the jewish board of deputies, which says it represents the jewish community. now it's on the other hand, has condemned the south african government for this action, saying that it's time would be better spent approaching it in a, a more positive way, reaching out to both sides of this conflict. and so they able to approach the present through. i'm a pause, appealing for a different direction, but the african national congress, the government has been 35 and it stands including a vote in parliament to cuts, ties with israel, which, which was paused by parliament. we haven't seen any further developments on that front, but the government has certainly returned to south africa, different method. what in israel, and also a couple of years ago recalled it's a basset to that country. so me them

a little i'll to 0 to had his book the going to bring you some of the days of the news, not with us for my president. donald trump survived in court for the closing arguments of his full trial consequences of exaggerating his wealth. and financial statements given to banks and shooting these companies and can be fined as much as $370000000.00 just to give

a closing statement himself for the judge off and no one has refused to speak to christmas, salumi is outside the court house in new york, i'm imagine this is a tens time for both sides. what's been going on? absolutely, president trump inside the court house as an observer. now, as you just heard, the judge did not allow him to make his own closing argument. that is because the president and his attorneys would not agree to the condition set forward by the judge. the judge saying that he would have to stick to evidence in the case just as a lawyer would in making closing arguments and not use it as a campaign speed. so now the presidents attorneys are going forward with their final arguments in this lawsuit that was filed by new york state attorney general leticia james, a democrat. it has been a highly contentious trial over 44 days. in the last hours

of the police were called to the home hours before the trial got under way. police were called to the home of the judge because he had received threats after the president's attacked him on social media last night. in the court room. the presidents attorneys have been arguing, picking up on claims, made by president trump on his way into the court. speaking to reporters, saying that this was a, an attempt to get him by the prosecutor. the lawyers arguing that this trial was taken as part of a political agenda, arguing that while the attorney general has accused the president and his sons and co defendants of outrageously inflating the value of their assets, to secure a more favorable terms and loans and uh, insurance that this uh, that there was no evidence presented to that effect in the court room that no one

was harmed by any of the actions that the president taught. he also called into question some of the of the witnesses that were called by the product by the attorney general's prosecution team here. so a very contentious case, but also i spoke to legal experts. it's also a highly unusual case and that it has bring being brought under a state law that allows the attorney general to go after someone with why discretion for fraud in a business setting. here's what that legal expert had to say. the. this is not the typical trying typical for trials involved. one person suing another because they were lied to effectively. this is different. this is the attorney general soon on behalf of the people. arguing that the practices that the trump organization operates under is,

is so hurtful to the people of the state that yes to be precluded, or it has to be preclude around it from practicing any further. so it's very, very unique as is the statute under which this case has been cry and the judge has already issued a summary judgement. in the case, he did so before the trial actually got under way finding that the president and his other defendants in the case did in fact commit fraud. he heard evidence on 6 other related charges. he still has to issue a judgment on those related charges. he expects to do so before the end of the month. he has said a lot at stake for the president here. 370000000 dollars in punishment is what the attorney general has requested, as well as prohibiting him from doing business in the state of new york by taking

his business license away. this, of course, the home of the trump empire. chris, and thank you very much. obviously we're going to be coming back to you. is that the case that goes on in the over the next few years, but for 9 questions? so let me in new york. thank you very much. i is that still a head on all? does it have soldiers in the streets of papa? you're getting is capital out of 15, people are killed in process. i'm katrina, you in sean and china just across the street from taiwan. and i'll explain how the government here is doing what every tends to influence the results of the upcoming time on the brought to you by visit customer. hello. we had a couple of quiet days in japan, but so i'm afraid. well, when she weather on the contest, we go on for the next couple of days. we've got this every flight pressure just running across the sea of japan,

and it will introduce that when she makes as we go through friday into wes, had to die. so i'm more of the less know that cost less than home. she whole card i thing some of that to win for you whether behind that is not too bad. the creepiness that fine and dry spot things on the side coming through here. single figures, single figures that to for beijing. 16 celsius in shanghai. i think i'll to that caught a temperature here as we go one through west, expedite as well as this. now once again the coming back in on sass day becoming a little more widespread. so we are likely to see some disruption as a result of that. but further south to these try and find for the most part, find, find safe or good parts of indo china wanted to show has there been 2 central and northern parts of it now maybe pushing the crossing to allow for scattering a shout was the into the philippines, the heavier down post, the coast coast, malaysia and indonesia. and we'll see some breakdown pulls the southern parts of them a light peninsula slipping a little further south with the same weather slipping, further south across for lack of recently it's been very unsettling. place the site

does look dry here over the next few days, along with southern india. meanwhile, the smoke continues to the north west of the quote to you by visit cuts on in mexico's board of cities. the stock impact of drug trafficking and phase on one side, the world's largest consumer of narcotics on the other lives being sacrificed to meet the demand. and the results and under pressure forensic investigate as the team piece together. evidence. as they grapple with the relentless cycle of homicide blows on the side, a witness documentary on the houses, they're hearing the have you had to be late that he has the support of 15 m samantha shell pick one moment, then asking questions, what do you expect this particular for to translate when it comes to the us selection, reporting from the action. not just give you

a sense of what is the target displaces. i'll just see it was teams across the world. when you closer to the thoughts of the story the, [000:00:00;00] the, you want to go to zeta. reminder of a top stories, the side of south africa is asking the international court of justice to origin. freehold what it says are genocide. a large kindly, large by is really forces in gaza. the country wants for you and the top court to issue so called professional measures to order israel to end. it's for some people in gaza say they now feel hopeful that this case is being gross. but israel is

still coming out of air strikes on the strip. at least 14 palestinians have been killed and 25 are being injured out on thursday morning from a residential. busy this fall and the con units in the valley is being held and so forth, of south africa's genocide case against the israel, palestinian find this sum of how much data is being that the government use pressing his food back in the case another lawyer representing south africa i've been in the college who spoke during the hearing about a new acronym. it's in metrics from israel's bombardment of gas in each day, yet more desperate people will be forced to relocate from where they are sheltering . a will be bombed in places where they have been told to evacuate to entire multi generational families will be obliterated. and yet more palestinian trip children will become w. c. n s. s. wounded child,

no surviving family. the terrible new acronym bore now to this rose genocide will a search on the palestinian population in gaston there is an urgent need for provisional measures to prevent eminence irreparable prejudice to the rights and issue in this case, that could not be a clearer or more compelling case the i c j is a main judicial body of united nations in this case is being monitored closely. there is james bangs reports. steve are watching very closely at the united nations. um the 1st point to make is if you're here in new york quite all to see it i. i watched it on out to 0, but on us tv it's multiple trump cases. but yes, the diplomats would have made the trouble and will have watched this very, very closely. um, what has happened in the hague today? very compelling argument from the south african lawyers that they made. and clearly,

they will care about this the un, because it could have a very important effects here at the united nations. the international court of justice is one of the organs of the you. and that's the only one that's not based in new york, but what happens that could affect what goes on, particularly in the un security council. remember we have deadlock in the un security council efforts to try and get to a resolution calling for us. the spot failed 3 times. we've had the united states wield it's vito, and there seems no way that the security counts. so with the united states doing that can get to the point of a c spot. well, if we get these professional matches, and remember this cool right now is not trying to decide whether there's a genocide or not is trying to decide whether the conditions that could create a genocide and the main decision they have to put in place is whether that should be provisional, matches the court,

ordering israel to stop the bombardment to try and change those conditions on the ground. while the court, of course, the international court of justice doesn't have troops, it doesn't have any enforcing power. the enforcing power would come back to the un security council. now if the un security council had a resolution before it holding for a peaceful spot backs by the international court of justice. now, would president biden, for a full time, be prepared to veto such a resolution? remember, this is a us president who said that his country is a good audience of the international rules based on the highest court. and that means by doing a is this called international court of justice. so if the court decides its still a big if to issue a professional measures, it could be a game changer in terms of what's been going on here at the united nations in new york. on friday is going to be the 2nd day of proceedings at the international court of justice. as we've been talking about is what was expected to defend itself against accusations of genocide made by south africa. both countries are allowed to

appoint one judge to the panel. let's see if in the case it was chosen is former supreme court president. i'll hold on buck. 87 year old was born in the fairway and here is a survivor of the holocaust. his parents moved to the british mandate of palestine and 1947 a year before the creation of the state of israel. mark showed support for israel's walton garza and his claim. do you see no evidence that israel's violated international humanitarian law? in an interview with the canadian newspaper, the globe and mail, he said, quote, it may be proportional to kill 5 n as in kids in order to target the lead to argue that the rules of collateral damage permits the killing of palestinian fighters. even if that leads to the depths of children, this view was approved by bulk himself and a 2006 supreme court ruling box also justified the costing of fuel to the guys and strip stating it may have been used by palestinian fighters. and these referred to these where the government's conduct to the board by saying, quote,

i agree totally before the government is doing jeffrey, nice as a human rights lawyer who has worked with the international criminal court and who says a decision in favor of south africa would strengthen the hand of those countries of the un arguing for strong direction or for 70 is countries that should have been doing exactly what in south africa is doing now. and what can be a due to the respect of mine, my country is it should have been doing this is much more power to assess on their hands. they gave a commitment. those who rectified it to the genocide convention, to act on the side terms or sound of genocidal risk of genocide and they did nothing. so the 1st significances that south africa's both and is probable this in doing this well shows are all the countries how they failed. well, a lot or our citizens around the world to the knowledge that country should do more than they do. and so that will be a good thing so far as the, the actual application itself,

which is of course very limited. it's limited to an application for protective measures. and it doesn't require proof, but to the satisfaction of the course of genocide or anything that any requires the evidence to be available to show that certain conclusions are certainly possible. it's a very, very important development. and it's one that is your own. a few ballast or shamed about having allowed to reach this position because of course it reaches this position because of what israel has unequivocally done. so that's the scale of the bombing an attack which is arguably other than the excessive but usually indicative of people having an intention to wipe out the palestinians in gaza. and it's allowed people to say things from the very totally the ship done. there

could be interpreted is amounting to genocidal intent. that is the intent to destroy an ethnic group in pato. so it shouldn't, that is having done that whatever the conclusion of the quote is put itself is in a position where it's week, whatever the result tomorrow. do you guys like a few states left egypt as the final stop? as late as diplomatic tour of the middle east? andrea blankets held talks with president of the photo cc and cairo lincoln said offering a pos way to a palestinian state. is the best way to stabilize the wider region as well as isolating iran, and it's proxies. washington continues to support israel's offensive and gaza and it's refused to call for a cease fire. well, escalating tensions along the 11 on israel border have problems with western diplomats to meet in bay rouge to discuss potential solutions. one of the proposals reports of the involves has ball are pulling away from the border. general called
