the $990.00 of the month, just the lease to go $990.00, asking the money to the business park humor caught a fisherman bringing a hammer head shirt. most of this beast is in danger. he jumped off the head and the body was destined for the pinning pile, indistinguishable from the other sharks. her presence at the market quickly became problematic, the everyday phase, mounting, irreparable loss of life, property, dignity, and humanity for the palestinian people. unprecedented. the hearing gets on the way at the hague, south africa accuses israel, of committing genocide against palestinians and got the

following down. jordan, to sound, is there a life? and also coming up federals i held in central gauze for full palestinian red crescent, was killed in on his ran the s drive and hit the ambulance us and british forces carry out strikes on who's the targets in yemen, following up touched by the revels on shipping in the red sea on taiwan and prefers to head to the poles as presidential candidates get ready to whole final camp and run is would be nice and show. i'm in china and inside the beginning of the hey, who israel will defend itself against accusations of genocide by south africa on thursday. the international court of justice held a detailed and horrific case on israel's conduct in gaza, presented by lawyers engaged by south africa. these are african legal team, toby, 17 judges about mass cuttings, widespread destruction,

and the depth of children and babies. they've lost the quote to order israel to suspend its ministry campaign in gaza. that's close a lot now to stephanie deck as she joins us from occupied east jerusalem. that stuff is. so what are we expecting from israel today then a, b i c, j. well, we will be expecting a meticulous case where we will be hearing we haven't heard exactly how they're going to present it, but i think it's clear that a they'll be presenting the fact that this is very much self defense. reminding the court of the utilities of how masses attack of october, the 7th, and more importantly, what israel has been paid for years. and that is how math that causes civilian casualties. that is how math that puts as ministry infrastructure in and amongst civilians, homes, uh schools, hospitals, which is something that they have acute mass of in the past. and they will. so the

say that israel boys takes up most care not to cool civilian casualties by, for example, you know, dropping leaflets on areas by making phone calls. the facts on the ground have of course showed a very different story. the reaction here to that case from south africa on thursday was one of outrage. these really prime minister calling south africa monster saying the world is upside down. we are the ones countering genocide. these really foreign ministry also saying that, you know, a south africa is playing the legal arm of how much. so it gives you a sense of the outreach here that is there on this finding itself. i think interestingly, it's the 1st time that is your has decided to show up at one of these cases the last time the i c j address is always in 2004, when they looked at the separation buyer in the occupied was fine at that point 0 didn't show up, said the court had no legality, and that it was biased. the fact that you have a talk team of lawyers showing up today means as well as taking this very seriously

. let's take a look back at how israel has pushed back on allegations that it doesn't do anything to prevent civilian casualties over the last 3 months, or an unprecedented legal case against israel. for the 1st time, its answering for its actions before the international court of justice, the case was pulled by south africa and israel stands accused of committing and having the intention to commit genocide against palestinians in garza. these ready governments says the case is baseless their load one month ago. so one of them know south africa, it's not us who came to commit genocide. it's come us and how most would kill us all if it could. in contrast, our military acts in the most moral way. it does everything possible to avoid harming civilians with more than 23000 palestinians did. israel doesn't deny kidding high numbers of civilians, but it blames him us. it says the armed group is guilty of and storing its

infrastructure and your hospitals, schools, and homes. even communities vulnerable to attacks from is really forces. but evidence. israel is put forward to back. this claim has proven false in the post. this is a grab bag hours off to striking ship a hospital and goes to city. israel's army deleted this video, which it claimed proved there was a how much come on center under the hospital, when doubts were raised, it re posted a new version without the words, undeniable truth. israel, the sort to defend its air strikes, saying it takes care to warn civilians by dropping leaflets, directing them to what it called safe. so but it's also bomb to many of those areas, which is why palestinians and agencies maintain that. nowhere in goals are safe. in and 84 page fighting south africa says there's evidence. israel is also targeting civilians by limiting the delivery of food medicine, fuel and water came to united nations and topics human rights organizations,

degree own. but israel again points to her mass. unfortunately, to date the u. n, a to mechanism in gaza has been woefully unsuccessful because it goes through on rough age. simply isn't reaching the people who need it because how much hijacks it, an owner a, comes up for it. israel is expected to remind the court of the brutality of how mouse is attack the 7th of october, proof of concept many in israel show that the country is facing legal proceedings and not thomas israel's foreign ministry has responded to the application on thursday at the international court of justice calling it one of the biggest shows of hypocrisy and accusing south africa of being the legal arm of how much israel will get its charles to respond. officially in court on friday. definitely decker all g 0 and occupied east reduced lunch with find stain as a political scientist on form, a member of a national assembly of south africa. he says, israel to find it difficult to counterfeit africa's arguments. in the case festival,

i should say that i think the rebuttals both from the united states and particularly from the is rabies that have been perfect to put it mildly, these really response which was effectively to bad miles south africa decay south africa, the legal um, how much and an agent of uranium republic is actually quite embarrassing. and what that suggests to me is it is rarely is going to find it incredibly difficult to respond to meaningfully, to south africa is quite extraordinary submission, extraordinary, and it's detail in this clarity. and this legal argument and its impact, i would imagine tomorrow at the israel will attempt to argue self defense. but i would, of the justices is experienced as those on the i, c, j. well,

obviously respond to that in the knowledge that self defense is certainly not a defense in terms of international will of low foreign occupying power for its military action in the territory that is occupied. well, i'll just say let's talk about zoom as and ralph i in southern gaza, he explained how palestinians are reacting to the proceedings of the i. c. j. the people inside garza today were completely following what is happening more the international court of justice regarding the hearings today as they have to use israel for of reaching the principles of the united nation genocide convention. and also, as of the south africa, had demanded the international court of justice to a to or the israel to hold, or all kinds of military acts on the ground. and just its military campaign, of course, calls a stripe palestinians. in fact, appreciate this is that made by south africans as they are showing how much to the

dairy to have been made by south african. so it's kind of thing is generally on what south africa today you have presented in the international court of justice. completely matches the realities on the ground as villages, towns are few. decals have been completely destroyed by the use very ongoing ministry campaign on cause a strict. but what palestinians in a very desperate need is that a resolution could be completely bring an end for the fighting on the ground. and also a resolution that might bring an end for the fighting. and the end of the suffering that they had been going through. but meanwhile, we can say that a wide range of palestinians really lost the trust in terms of the international community. but they are doing their best within the dis on giving her rough, the course just to continue to survive. and they are affordability of food and they basic supplies as the only also care for the international assets meet. but the, one of the efforts made by international community to be translated practically on

the ground. thus they can feel that there is a kind of elevation for the humanitarian crisis and also for the humanitarian last that they have been enduring since october, the 7th to us and purchase policies have carried out to strikes against targets linked to the host these in yemen. multiple sites across the country. what hits including the capital sign off, is the 1st time strikes have been carried out against the iran back group. since it started attacking ships in the red sea late last year, who sees claim they own the target ships linked to israel? response to the war on gaza. but let's take a look at where those attacks were carried out. strikes have been reported in the vicinity of the her data at port appleton ties demo call on come inside of an out delaney base. that's north of the capitol center. let's see now who the official has issued a statement in response to the strikes saying what our country subjected to is aggression and america and britain must be ready to pay a heavy price of zeros mohammed thom has an update. now from some off,

according to the attack that was carried out in the january 9th, many people suppose hunting carrier houses to continue their attacks again is the us and the british warships specially following the i tell you about targeted the host these marines. and also the kill it through the killing of at least in the 10 marines. this, this attack has caused the why duncan and the long yellow. and he's also the i'm and he's also continue to take out to the streets, to call on the ho he's the to continue with their operations, the red sea in order to put more pressure on israel, the to and it's war there. and also to allow the entry of food and member of the, of a necessities for the people there. so the not, now we are witnessing this kind of solution that, that both parties are

a determined and adamant to continue their, uh, their, their operation. we uh, what, the thing that the us and britain has, as, as sense of most of the, the side of the sent a message to the how it is that the just want to teach them they to the, to them. i listen by this a tax which has it. it wasn't too pleased to 12 attacks against what the said that the, how these minutes recovery abilities of launching missiles on the other ray, the ray, the systems about so far. we have with this another determination based hoses to continue with their operations and the ritz c. so uh, what is, what's going next week was witness law jack conflict and the original the roots which is unimportant as a road to for shrubs and also for nearly 70 percent of the international trade. hodges areas where the monks is following developments from london. and we've had coordinated statements,

it seems like from both the us president joe biden and the british prime minister richie soon act bite and talking in his statement about the need for the strikes in direct response. he said to unprecedented who's the attacks against intentional marathon vessels, saying he would not hesitate to direct further measures to protect top people in the free floating, special comments as necessary. so not to be very critical of the who is. he's saying that they essentially ignored repeated warnings. they acted recklessly put risk and put lives at sea at risk. talking about the fact that the u. k. can not stand for this behavior. they have taken what he called limited necessary and proportionate action in self defense. that statement very carefully wooded throughout and something that people here in the u. k. will no doubt be watching very close to what lawrence cool was ever tied u. s. navy captain and then format assistance section of defense. he says the strikes when necessary to send a strong message to the who. i think it will improve the situation the cause. these

attacks have been going on as you imagine. since november, the united states has what uh, uh, a group of countries together, but they haven't done anything to stop the attacks. recently you had to hold expiring law in american helicopters. so i think the united states base with the water to do 2 things, send a signal to the hoodies. i cannot do it themselves. that's why they got the u. k to join us here. so what does that look like? just the unified american operation. and then they have about 5 other countries have provided navy, so there. busy quoting bar right to this, this operation and addition to project sitting of the, of the project, where would they have uh, no certainty ships. if you look at the charges today, there are things in there that they use to, you know, get the capability to,

to large, fortunately attack till they hit. but they probably primarily went after military targets. and to make it very, very hard for them to, you know, continue to have the attacks which they've had probably some 30 a tax offices. they started this in, in november. and it also, i think, sends a signal to a ran to tell the who days that was pulled back. because the last thing we want to do is say this thing get out of hand. and you have a situation where a rand, how to try and respond after we kill so well that a all 4 years ago was the same album, katie's a pro fee john list on political commentator. he says us and butcher ships will now become targets of who's the attacks i think and now which would be as the world of me, they have been sent before to be the army. that's now the, a, c, a, the comedy central of all the buttons to build the united states and

u. k. will come on the adopt exactly the same way. this is about 80 legs. it has the come on that, as i said before, unless we make it clear that the money i have said many times this attack kind of stuck in a method as minutes. if you live in state and you are the one of the value to stay to visit i as they say, would allow food. i me this in an fuel and we'll talk to instead of goods. uh, yeah, i mean the, the added just, they want this humanitarian crisis to stop and did you decide to stop and go to that? and we've seen that the united states actually have the product that the super okay . uh booth. but it got it. and actually they quoted kids and i did you know, side god again, because it's all just the blue page formed in yemen against. is it not any ships who he does a deal for the day that we own international cuban? it said invalid. see, except to do some link to is it i or the ship that's actually going to any floats

in, okay, by the, by the sides. but does, when he's in the, to the loading. i'm sure at this moment that you not you you case that a good, much sense it i night state as well because if they should not, uh, pay to uh, a new way look, use the ac because i'm sure they would come on that i've had time to shop right here, and i'll just say about when we come back, we're in new york with donald trump says he's trial and civil for charges if so, afford pardon the the hello, the web is looking a little unsettled support. so the middle east, at the moment, a lot of cloud streaming across northern parts of the region. and the south is that light is fine and dry, warm sunshine here even though hot 26 degrees celsius. but you can see we have got the snow just spilling out so fast, syria based composite,

the key i just running across northern paths on a rock, a mix of rain, sleet, and snow. here and little trouble this way, which was northern areas all there right across the mountains and the snow. a little more widespread than as we go through the next couple of days. so it's on federal for the east and made as well. lots of web coming across the cypress, into web at west side of syria, pushing across at 1111 on seems a big down pulls snow over the mountains here as well. i met randy standing all the way down towards the gaza strip. then as we go through friday, possibly still a few showers here on saturday, but the weather weather will certainly be in at around 11 on at that stay. so whether to that of cuz northern parts of africa or just around the coastal fringes of the mediterranean, that just pulling away from northeast in areas of algeria, 3, tennessee easing across was northern costs of egypt probably established. meanwhile, across central policy profit got down to to the most east of south africa. i told him very what america

it is a tenant object to produce object. these coverage. many parts of his really media are effectively engaging in propaganda or genocide. what these really military was telling us does not fit in with what evidence they have so far. and yet on the fringes of his randy public, this course, anti war voices persist sale, calling the traitors. the listening post covers how the news is come to watch this space for where the story goes back. just the

book and back to what you're going to say, right click them on another top stories here, this out, and us and u. k. of carried out as strikes on who feet positions across the m a the wrong but to these have been a talking ships. they say are linked to israel in the area since november in response to the 1000. russia has requested a un security council meeting and response to the strikes and the case of the international court of justice. and i forget has accused israel of genocide in guns on thursday. the court had a detailed and disturbing case of intentional. these really at meant to displace i'm q a palace to me on 5 israel will offer its defense. what michael link is, professor and there was a southwestern university in london, ontario. he told me down to 0. what he thinks is where i will focus on when they present that case on friday. a. this isn't simply a legal case, but it's a political case playing note on the theater of public opinion around the world. and if it thinks i think that it has some case to be able to make in a evergreen back to south africa, it's going to argue, i suspect tomorrow,

this is an educated guess that it will probably use for each uh for what happened on october 7th, and, and also, what are you self defense? those, those will be, is probably the best 2 arguments i can think of israel wondering why not raising, but it recognizes a huge reputational consequences of any finding by the court and in provisional measures with respect to a plausible case of genocide being filed against that. so this is why it has contrary to its previous pattern showing up to one of the able to, to argue this, um, at the, at the court. and i just as a side inspect, we'll see plenty of arguments around those 2 particular issues with something atrocious up and on october 7th. and israel had the right and the necessity defendants. people by going out for homeless and guides of when you're in a week position as a lawyer representing the client. you want to try to argue you're, you're very,

you're very best fax and focused on try to get the core to focus on those and, and draw them away from the arguments, the facts and the wall that the other side has done. i must say, having watched the south african presentation today, this really was a top drawer case example of advocacy. all the lawyers laid out like an extremely persuasive and strongly made case. and that reflects, you know, the, the top drawer application. that's all the african made. 2 weeks ago to the court, 84 pages, single spaced, or 560 put notes, arguing the facts, and the law and the need for a provisional measures. and that was all echoed today by the lawyers and very com measured fashion. as a funeral has been held in central gauze of the members of the palestinian red crescent, killed in an ass drive. on wednesday the group says that his randy has tried to get the ambulance transporting engine people instead of bulk for red crescent medical

stuff and the 200 people were killed. now it's been nearly a 100 days of israel's war on gauze. more than 23400 balanced indians have been called a double that engine. and the dead include a shocking number of children, which has been highlighted in a new report from save the children. but since october 7th, more than $10000.00 children have been killed by spraying the strikes of ground operations. that's one percent of gauze as total child population, that's according to the ministry of health and gaza. thousands more still missing the thought to be presumed buried under the rubble of buildings destroyed by its ready, bombs say the children says those who survive the tax of stuff a life changing injuries, including burns disease, inadequate medical care, and the loss of that parents. a 1000 children in gaza have lost one or both of their legs. the organization is quoting for an immediate cease fire. what jason lee is say, the children's country director for the occupied palestinian territory. he says si

size the only way to protect children and gaza. the numbers, i'm not just staggering in the scale and scope, but the actual impact on these are not just numbers. every single one of them is a child. the child that has lost a lives, a child that has with has suffered. i can, inc. and to both physical injuries, but also the mental, the longer to psychological and mental it consequences for children that are consistently surrounded by filings that have experience such loss. and they've had the homes, the families, the communities around them destroyed. it is imperative that that is the immediate and definitive ceasefire. this is the only way that protects civilians that protects children, and that protects some semblance of a hope that they can rebuild. the future's, we've got a situation that when more than 60 percent of residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed,

more than 60 percent of schools. educational facilities have been distorted, damaged, so the children that survive miraculously will have the physical injuries will have the lots of mental inside the social needs, but also will need significant investments in, in rebuilding their lives. many do not have homes to return to many do not have schools to retention. many do not have communities to return to begin to cease 5 is just the 1st step, but it is a critical step to ensuring that that we, that we do protect the features of children, the spring of some of the days of and use now. and it's the final day of campaigning ahead of the presidential election in taiwan south. today's election could have far reaching consequences for the region as pensions mount with china, which considers taiwan a part of its territory. well, we have to correspondence coming this vote. katrina,

you it was across the taiwan straits in shellman china. the 1st let's go to attorney chang. he's in taiwan. is capital type i telling you so on the eve of elections, what some movie there in taiwan and what are the main issues and photos tony? i think people are getting very excited the candidates themselves. i think going into this last 24 hours before the election starts getting very excited. we're going to see major rallies here in the capital type a over the last week. they've been racing around the island. really, i think because they're all aware that it's old to play for this stage, we haven't had any opinion polls for the last 10 days according to election regulations. but the last ones we had suggested that it was very close, certainly within the mountains the area. and i don't think any of the major punches are taking anything for granted at this stage of go through the votes as themselves . china is a major issue. we've seen china is presence very much in the background. during

these last weeks we've seen chinese military exercises. there been information gathering balloons, flying overhead. we've been seen in the last week, a chinese satellite, which was launched, causing a presidential look across the island. so i think people are very aware of that, but as one political commentator said to me yesterday, 03 punches, can see that this stage, the child, there is a thread on the platforms, a pretty much the same when it comes to china. so this may go down to domestic issues, tie one, these people i think have concerns, like they do in many parts of the world about rising inflation. the cost of living, the ability observe of the young to be able to afford advising high spouse prices. for example, so i think these are the kinds of issues that may well make a difference. we're also seeing young votes is looking for a 3rd option. the known this in this selection, there is a 3rd option on the ballot paper, the t p p, the political pulse which we haven't seen before. they are expected to collect

a lot of use foods. and while that may not get them, the presidency may make a big shift. at this stage, i think everything is to play for i. tony chang there and type a tiny thank you. let's call 7 out to shop and and china talk to katrina you. trina, i guess it goes without saying that basically we watching the selection very closely of the well, according to taiwanese leaders. and now the united states for aging is not only watching as closely as loose or trying to fit these elections this way, versus in favor of pro they doing candidates. candace, they think of more friendly to the mainland. no, china has angrily dismissed these planes is also very angry. that us has announced its time to send a delegation to tie one after the election. according to china, taiwan is a part of the chinese poetry. it insist that this whole election is an internal chinese, is that any official contact to see washington in taipei goes against one china policy? no. as to what people here believe,

it's always hard to get an accurate picture of that because the nation environment is so tightly sense and controls. however, you did speak to the driver on the way here and awesome. what did he think of the type one poles? and he said that he was simply different. he said, he believes it doesn't really matter who's in charge and tie won't, because china can take time on that any points and it's certainly choosing not to do so. now, because it wants to avoid a, you know, obviously that doesn't reflect the opinion of everyone here, but it certainly reflects the official chinese narrative. and while, you know, really reading about time when he's democracy in chinese media, not really in the interest of the chinese communist party to talk about how people of the time when his compatriots have a right desire to west north. you know, however, they all being very critical in the coverage of the democratic progressive policy and the candidates lie ching to they say that he is a separatist. any votes for the d p. p is a board for rule and award for sending time when he's used to the basketball day. a

pool for fun, so not explicitly appointments on call physician policy, those in favor of close uh, communication and ties with china. and they say implicitly, oh it is implies that of work for the k m t is about the safety keys and the economic opportunities that the main line can provide to tie one people. katrina, thank q to yes, president donald trump is as low as subject using him. a fraud is itself a fraud. he made the comments during the closing arguments of the trial. a judge has already to time in the trump fraudulently inflated his assets in order to secure loans. the total amount of time in the penalty is, is kristin. slew president trump, everybody, former president donald trump, defending himself in a civil fraud lawsuit brought against him by new york state's attorney general. we prove, in this case, so conclusively that we've asked the directed verdict many times, they don't have any facts. they don't have any evidence against us millions and

millions of pages, years of litigation and are all politically motivated. latisha james, the democrats and judge har.
