a kind of full military mobility on the ground and against the palestinian fighters . israel's war cabinet has met to discuss the military campaign in gaza. this is right when ministers put pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu. honda, so who's reports from occupied east jerusalem of this war? comedies meeting tonight, took place on the hills of a wide or cabinet discussion in which several members of nathaniel whose coalition, including his own ruling, la crude party, had expressed frustration on multiple different levels. saying that they wanted to be involved in negotiations when it came to the release of the captives. they wanted to be briefed on everything that the war cabinet was being briefed on and that those discussions should be taking place in the wider cabinet since they are members of the coalition. now you have had pressure on these really prime minister over the last week or so from members of the right wing part of the government.
8:05 am
we're talking about each more been we're the country's national security minister and betts and it's small rich, the country's finance minister, who essentially for the last 10 days have been threatening to leave the government . if nothing, yahoo enters the deal that they say is not in favor of israel. and that would mean the release of thousands of posting in detainees from is really jail. so you have that pressure. but then you also have pressure from the opposition benny gans who joined nathaniel whose emergency government, he and his party are not part of the wider coalition. he's saying that if nothing young who continues to cave to the right and to come to pressure, he's going to leave the emergency government. then you have another member of the opposition. you're le pete, who in the last few days has said if the right wing we've the government, he and his party are ready to step into offer netanyahu a safety net. if it means getting a deal that would bring back these really captives from gaza,
8:06 am
the pressure just continuing to mount on this and yahoo also from an international standpoint from the americans. but also remember from the families of the captives who have been saying for around 4 months now that the government has failed them. they are not with them in their plight of bringing back their loved ones saying, but not enough. how has been done. and the prime minister himself has said repeatedly that israel has read lines when it comes to discussions about these deals like he's not going to end the war. and he's not going to withdraw is really troops from guns. all of this came as the war cabinet was expecting some sort of answer from us on this deal and negotiation. but that hasn't happened yet. so it is seeming like, while these negotiations and mediators and everyone is involved in these conversations, it seems like we are still a whiles away from a deal. it is really messiah has landed near hundreds of mourners at a funeral in southern lebanon. this happened that a cemetery in the town of lee to the ceremony was for 2 fighters from the

a mile group, which is a lie to has belong, who had been killed in it is really strength. on friday. israel has threatened all that war if his beloved doesn't pull back from the border. tensions of escalated in the region since israel's war on guns. it began in october. a bi partisan group of us senators has published the text of a long awaited proposal for a bill that includes military aid to israel and ukraine. but some republicans already promising to kill the proposed bill. the deal lumps together funding for border security and foreign aid. there been months of negotiation to get the bill written, it would still need republican support and several votes before landing on presidential biden's desk. more on this here is alan fisher in washington dc. the public ins and democrats have been talking about this for months. finally, we've got the details in a $370.00 page bill. it covers bought the security a to you create and also to israel,
8:08 am
a $118000000000.00 in total. now on board the security, they're aiming to try and reduce the record number of border crossings that we've seen in recent years. there's going to be more stringent immigration checks. there's also going to be strict are laws one asylum applications. now there's also going to be money for ukraine, $62000000000.00, and also for digital $14000000000.00 to replenish some of the weapons that the of used in the water and gas it. there's also $10000000000.00 for humanitarian aid for ukraine. and guys of which we cover things like food medicine, shelter and there's also an additional $2400000000.00 for the operations currently under way in the right. so your operations that we've seen over the last 3 or 4 days. but this bill is already facing real difficulty. joe biden has said this makes the both of the most secure it's being in use gives the present authorization to close it died on his august republicans to start playing politics with the board
8:09 am
. but already a number of republican senators are said they're going to vote against the bill. but some of them said that before they knew the details, one of the reasons is they don't want to give joe biden, a bipartisan when on a t issue in an election year. not least because donald trump has said he's going to run on the issue of border security. here's another problem for joe biden, steve scully, who is the number one republican in the house. he also shuttles when boats go on the highest floor. he's already said that this is never going to get as far as the house vote, and mike johnson is the speaker of the house or a public. and also i said that if it ever mixed it to the house, this bill is data on arrival. so for all of jo, biden's hopes that he can get this bill signed quickly. it's already in serious trouble. only hours after it's bill stuff. i'll, i'm for sure. i'll just either washington to chile has declared 2 days of mornings

disasters. hundreds remain missing. presumed dead, firefighters continue working day and night to control the flyers in the densely populated but a slow region. if we order them on the gauge, chief leslie's high man who's been fighting fires for 40 years, says, is convinced they were started deliberately. what, what you're focusing on it's, i think they started simultaneously at exactly the same hour in 6 different places . when the winds were extremely strong, humidity, very low, and the temperature is high, but not enough to ignite a fire on its own. this was no accidental. the government appears to agree and vows to find and punish the culprits which might have taken minutes to light could take weeks to extinguish. this may look like a very small fly right now, but this is a pine tree or what's left of it. and the real significant thing is, what time did you, so that is the roots of the tree there,
