10:03 pm
or what has left of them. slight them. uh, some of the reasons it is very difficult for us to search without any equipment. we are simply using up. they had apparently, women and children were the only ones inside the we haven't found a single survive up and drop by and southern guns that were 1500000 palestinians are sold 3 is really play and targeted on, sorry, mos in the city centers. residents say, how's the library with historical tax? the families forced to see good by our inc. consolidate mazda and then the stop. we heard the air planes just after midnight. we looked out of the window and saw flames, and people screaming. there were more than 25 to 30 people in the house when he collapsed. everybody scattered. grief and loss. go hand in hand in garza
10:04 pm
and what do you want his calling a desk zone? most rough uh, southern gaza. oh sure. 0 startup with whom is live for us. and rough entire accounts. we said at the top of the hour have just been new strikes in the gaza strip just in the last 60 minutes. what can you tell us about those? well, in fact, syria which was a completely plugged the our where the is where the forces has expands of the military attacks on the central parts of garza. where in derek, by a, there had been multiple houses being talked to the unemployed dentist the why the town and a great refuge account on the over all attacks on the central area. is that the goal of this trip to at least right now? 18 palestinians with dozens of palestinians being in good right now. and the majority of injury is being transported to our locks the hospital for medical kaz. we've been seeing completely distressing images regarding the vast majority of the
10:05 pm
injuries that included young children being receiving a treatment on the flu and also in a very dramatic scene. but another serious development as well in the past our exactly, we've been seeing that the is very military troops had again stormed another hospital off top, being evacuating, and with the drumming in the past 30 minutes, they have stormed it again with a different military tanks inside the vicinity of the hospital, according to the policy and administer of health, and this is absolutely completely dramatic, of changing the ground. as this hospital has been turned into a mandatory phase being grievance with full destruction of the majority of its admitted colt equipment. the as a part of the as well as on getting decides of imagery, campaign against the medical sector in the territory topic. there's been so much talk of a possible is really ground defensive in rasa howard palestinians. they're preparing
10:06 pm
for the possibility of that offensive us. yes. in fact, certainly have been a us palestinians have been hearing the ongoing, get repeated is really statements released by military military and political officials. saying that the military, encouraging in a rough i will be not that simple as people here had been completely terrified with such military step that must be taken by these very forces, specifically that we have been witnessing in the past couple of days clear. they've got to ation waves to the middle areas which had been in the past. our widely attacked is specifically that those people are no longer have an any kind of trust in regard to what is the is very all me saying thought this military encourage. and that it might be taking place in roughly the district will definitely approach negative unplugged the consequences as will it will trigger a very mazda humanitarian catastrophe. where people here have no place to go. it is such a lead that the majority of people in the other parts of causal where the is very
10:07 pm
ministry, how to operate it before living on the ruins of the former, destroyed houses with no functional infrastructure. so that step that might be taken could be understood as a military pressure would come off movement to accept these very demands in terms of the negotiations being made in cairo to reach a business. what the, under the same time, it could be a real threat that as well as learning to use if the color of the negotiations on tops to reach the hostage to you might collapse with in the coming days. all right, sorry, thank you very much that reporting there from ruffin southern gaza. that startup was, you know, us president joe biden's top middle east advisor. brett mcgraw is in israel at the moment to discuss the one gaza. the prospect for cease by it talks and captives release so far he has met israel's defense minister. you'll have the lot on the cell who has more on that from occupied east jerusalem or so in a meeting. israel's defense minister meeting with breton mcgurn, biden's,
10:08 pm
top of middle east advisor, and in that golan t off go on. the defense minister has released the statement saying that israel will now expand the negotiators for the captives what they are allowed to do. but all, while israel and the military will be planning for more intensive ground operations in gaza, this is essentially one of the pressure is we've been seeing on israel by the americans to get negotiators back to the table to meet with the other side, to see what sort of concessions can be offered up to see where there are still disagreements and sticking points. but these really have been under a lot of pressure from the bind administration for how they've been conducting themselves throughout this war. the americans would like to see more humanitarian aid going in. they would like to see a deal to bring back the captive sooner rather than later. and it is actually these really specifically prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who declined to send in his really delegation for 2nd day of meetings in cairo just about
10:09 pm
a week ago. and this is something that did not bode well with these really public and the families of the captives it's you have to be seen. what's exactly going to come of these talks if there are any sort of advancements in these captive negotiations. but these really delegation will now be present at them to argue their case, and perhaps what concessions they're willing to give up in order to secure a deal. the secretary general of doctors without borders has criticized the us draft resolution on gaza saying that it's misleading. he was speaking to the un security council, which will eventually vote on that resolution of the us draft calls for a temporary cease fire when practicable. but the country has so far blocked 3 separate resolutions, which call for a ceasefire in gaza, or new draft resolution by the united states, suspense of records for cease fire. however, this is misleading a best, this discount socially projects, any re resolution that sort of the compass humanitarian efforts on the ground. at least as council to test, certainly endorsed
10:10 pm
a continued finance in massachusetts. these in cause of the people of the people have cause i need to cease fire, not when practicable, but now they need a sustained cease for not a temporary period of calm. anything short of this is gross negligence. the protection of civilians and gaza cannot be contingent on resolutions from this council with instruments a large amount of terrorism to pluck political objectives change bases live now for us from un headquarters in new york. james, what more did you learn during that briefing on the guns a war for the security council as well that's just come to an end in the last hour or so. and we've been hearing from various participants outside the council chamber because they have the open meeting, which is still part of that. and those strong comments from the, the secretary general of m. s f. but you also had been closed consultations of the
10:11 pm
ambassadors. they did come out and read a joint statement, but i'm afraid it's a statement that really doesn't take us any further than we will close for a greater humanitarian access. talks about the subject severity of the situation in gaza, but didn't, for example, express any view on the false coming rough or offensive. that is so many of these mentioned in, in as you just be mentioning that us dropped the various security council members have looked at that says the us even the saying that the rafa offensive should not continue and proceed at this time. but i can tell you, well the, that particular paragraph, i think is welcomed by some security council members. in general, most of the security council members i was speaking to. i'm not happy with the us draft for the same reason as you heard from, from them assess that they are unhappy because it doesn't say the very basic thing . all of them think is needed default from the us and the u. k. and that is an
10:12 pm
immediate cease for ordered by the security council right now. the palestinian ambassador to the united nations has been speaking in the wake of this briefing. what was he say to? yeah, we had mine. so i was speaking in the security council then he came out afterwards and explained that the arab group of the united nations, the, our countries on the united nations had had a meeting in the last few hours. and they've been discussing that next steps forward off to of course that vetoed by the us. that took place on choose day. they will be going to the un general assembly. it seems likely that what will happen is because of the review esvito, there was an automatic procedure which was instituted last year. but once as a v to then the general assembly has to meet within 10 working days. now, the policy is critical to meeting before that, but i think they're going to let this play out and about meeting the schedule by the presence of the general assembly in 10 days time. they say that even off to
10:13 pm
that then that talking about having another emergency session on the inputs and fight to restarting the emergency session on palestine. that was a job. and so they'll be, i think, probably 2 sets of activity in the, in the un general assembly and possibly a resolution before the un general assembly. but there's another effort, something he's talked about in the past, but i think he's re energized by that. recent vote in these riley can message which was saying that it didn't want to see recognition of a policy instate, while he's pressing ahead with assets full palestine, to try and become a un member state coordinates and observe a state of the united nations. what he's going to, i think going to do and he wasn't entirely clear, but we were, we were getting some indications is trying to get the support from as many members of the united nations in the general assembly as possible. there are a $193.00 un members and when he's got some sort of statement signed by as many members as possible,
10:14 pm
that he's going to go to the security council and submit an application to become a member state to the united nations. he explained to me that the plan originally from the policies was to do this, once the war is over. but given what is going on on the ground, and given the rising dest toll and the rising number of days at a 140 days, now that this conflict has been going on, they may well do that while the war continues. so an important development that on the horizon, i don't think it's happening in the next few days or weeks, but on the rise in the palace starting to go to the security council to try and get made a formal member of the united nations jane space reporting from un headquarters in new york. thank you very much, james. the stay for of public hearings. the humans top court on the legal impact of israel's occupation of palestinian territories. more countries have provided testimony, including the attorney general of ireland,
10:15 pm
who said that the countries are legally obliged to make sure they are not buying goods from occupied palestinian lands. brendan smith reports from the heck his rail is deliberately preventing palestinian self determination by colonizing the west. bank and east jerusalem. it's the thread running through testimony from dozens of countries of the international court of justice this week. china now also explicitly defended the rights of palestinians to resist that occupation of streaming people useful falls for they faced flooring oppression. and to complete the stop just event independence state is needed. nipple, right, well funded international israel is labeled palestinians from how much fight is to stone throwing use as the terrorists islands. attorney general dismissed arguments made by the united states that israel has legitimate security concerns for continuing its occupation if the security of one people can only be achieved by the
10:16 pm
occupation over so many decades of the territory of another people. one has to wonder whether there can be any military solution is to the problem. that's it for ports to address in compile, and added that states are obliged to co operate to bring an end to israel, serious breach of its duty to respect the rights of palestinians. to do that, islands attorney general size, but states shouldn't help israel maintain, or legitimize the occupation by buying goods and services from sacraments. the use bond on imports from crimea after it was unexpired. russia was cited as an example on the un estimates that economic activity and the sacraments generates $13000000000.00 a year. the israel is economy jordan's more minutes to says the decision by the court on the occupation is now more urgent than that. but a simians are being killed into hundreds every day and gaza at in the response
10:17 pm
because is riley is not being held accountable for its world crimes. and violation of international 60 attend was lifting the car for days next to the decaying bodies of her relatives home as well as kendall with methics finally. all right, so this q here, there's really a q patient army can them, and can, to this brutality, the tortured and killed tend, is a constant reality of life under these really, if you're patient, no more. israel isn't taking part in the hearings. it says in written comments that the court involvement could be harmful to achieving and negotiated settlement with the palestinians. bernard smith, alger 0, the hague, to live in homes and bassett, or to the netherlands also spoke of the icy j hearing. he called to the international community to take action to ended. he is really occupation if that was the answer to the gun. it was his radio to patients who promised dentistry is a lead to has to start off that goal unconditionally and immediately. consequently,
10:18 pm
3rd states and international organization must support without too late or at foot and aimed at coaching an immediate and mental conditional end to this occupation, and to abstain from oh, action or mission, which might come tribute to this is equal situation being maintained. stuff on all these all saw me not or is director of the levant institute for strategic affairs are joining us from the roots. i me thank you for being with us this hour. so look, let known among the countries the 52 countries um weighing in on this matter of law . we were listening closely to 11 on today because it's a neighbor to israel. still technically, a war with his real it to his face is really occupation what stood out to you about what the lebanese representative had to say. i mean, practically, this is the in line was for the position name, the of the out of the state. and or, and these are countries from the what they call the lord. now that the wood is
10:19 pm
divided between the west and the rest. so it's in line with the majority of the heating guy we've seen, and quoting, for an immediate cease fire the and to stop the on stopped on does so. and uh, but i think what's different from like, uh, to say from egypt eating egypt to hinted the officer and hinted at what can be so, so the ocean and it said that was have funding today is practically blocking it to states. so the ocean, so we would have expected from lab on, on, uh for sure to position to be in line. where is the, the out up consensus on the necessity of a 2 state solution as a find that a set the man as intuitive as so your vision to, to do,
10:20 pm
to this complex. unfortunately, this has not to be a said it may be because this is not today the official position of a strong party inside the, sorry, somebody sorry i jumped in. i wanna make sure i'm following you. what is it that you're saying? living on? didn't say, i didn't say that the uh, or did intend, uh, what is it i is doing is a in b, a is in between the possibility of a 2 states or user, right? a 2 state solution is which is the, the dot com, which is subject to consensus among the other countries and the, the end as well. it states silent on what should be the end game, what should be the exit from this conflict? and keeping in mind that that is
10:21 pm
a consensus among other countries on the necessity off at 2 states are huge. and in line with that is a huge and one h one and 2 for 2 of the u. n. a resolution concepts. so but for the rest, i think the deposition was in line was the international role required comment to say that is that i it is infringing, the international below is that what's happening as a cat? that's sort of see it uh for that. but as being in a deeper dot, the what are we are seeing on the ground as a defect to a transfer that is exactly uh, creating eh, impossible condition for the possibility of it, but a seeing in the state in the future and the name, the ease of a continuing, it's
10:22 pm
a policy also set them on the weather, especially in the, in the west bank and relate the in part of the student center. sammy, what does this all change? i mean almost a week of hearings, 52 countries weighing in on this, the legal consequences of israel's occupation if fallacy and territories at the world's top court as well. but what does it all change? given that israel wasn't even there to make oral arguments and whatever the court said, maybe it is, it is, is going to be non binding. and israel has a long and rich history of not respecting international law that is through that it is, uh these hearings are oh and what the quote would come up with is not that binding . but keep in mind that this is unprecedented. and for the 1st time in history and the national medical under the u. n. auspices, is the goal, inc,
10:23 pm
is that i am accountable for its action. it's showing that is that i, it is no more a ball and the national, never low in the guard on the uh, in regards of that, the international uh video and uh it is, uh eh, just mentioning this uh, the change in the public opinion was born one public opinion that is shifting good towards that, but a senior which was not a the case, the 2 gates to the case before. and the, this is uh, this is the 30 phone. and you mentioned earlier you use the expression, the west versus the wrist. when it comes to this specific issue of these really occupational palestinian lands. if you look at that, who's been saying what, since the beginning of these hearings itself so much the west versus the rest is
10:24 pm
more of the us versus the rest in the us. maybe because some, it started with the, the west, the against the, the, the rest, the maybe in the 1st you and that is our ocean or the 1st your and vote at the general assembly. but that feeling the pressure of this it as beating the pressure of what do we use to cool that? so do their countries like k, a u, k, or france, either change their position like a france? it was a quite different yesterday a to see the change and a french position because they could not afford anymore. and the alignment was that is a really a line of action and the u. k. epstein being a from a victory ink, and that is what he was from that was proposed bus by either julia
10:25 pm
a 2 days ago. and this is because of these countries for a strategic reason for our f. a for economic reasons, don't want any more to, i'm going lies this a majority at the, at the, the will, the, it was that are living as well. that 2 countries at the top that weight on the international and seems like south africa like but i see the are the taking through active actions against the discipline and this hello. so are, as i'm president on the internet, i don't see a semi not a director of the lavon to institute for strategic affairs. thank you for joining us. this our, of these really military has stormed the village of a time or east of bethlehem in the occupied westat. kids forces have rated the homes of the suspects and a shooting attack that occurred earlier on thursday. around 25 is really military vehicles have been seen in the area and that shooting incident was near occupied
10:26 pm
east jerusalem. it happened close to be illegal. is really settlement of molly. i do mean at least one person was killed. 5 others injured. 2 of the 3 gunmen were shot dead that abraham is near the o as i am check point where that attack happens. what we know is that 3 tell us the needs of arrives. so this area is 2 separate cards and that's committed. issue thing that's led to the injury of 5 is really is a police at the other 5 that we were told them that they had suffered the cute, cute, minor injuries and some anxiety. this is why we're talking about the number is decreasing, but also we're talking about one is really has been killed. now we are in this read this read the things illegal is really supplements to jerusalem. allow me just show you a little bit of a, the street huge we need because there is a check point towards the end of the street that there is some traffic. but also in
10:27 pm
the recent years, a new section of the road has been open to allow palestinians coming from the south of the occupied west bank to be able to use a section of this roads to go to the rest of the occupies the west bank and this is why we've been seeing kind of thing is being allowed to use this road. now we've been hearing from sources that these really produce is looking to prevent the movements of palestinian cars on this route until a certain hour that we understand also that there has been a lot of situations. what else of a projects that have been planned in israel to kind of separate further, the palestinians from these really is to give them supper, throws and we've been seeing also in the past house, the sufferers enjoy the infrastructure to suffer through is what have you want to go through bypass road. now again, this is a check point that usually it needs to with jerusalem. but it is
10:28 pm
a huge way to link is really supplements in the occupied was thing to choose of israel's war on guns that has destroyed universities in schools disrupting the education system. the u. n says 162 school buildings have been directly hit by is really strikes that has affected 625000 students. 92 percent of all school buildings are being used. the shelters were displaced, palestinians, the un says 3 universities have been completely destroyed and others are damaged. but one teacher in rossa, is on a mission not to allow israel's war to rob the children of their future. or the hushing has that story. more than half a 1000000 students in guys are out of school for the even of the war comes to an end. they won't be able to resume the education. thousands of them have lost the lights. but for those who have survived is visible on guns out, there are no schools to come back to. most of the 800 schools of either being
10:29 pm
completely destroyed or have been turned into shelters for the hundreds of thousands of refugees who have lost the whole last, well try double time. i decided to back to the time to turn the library of the thought. if may the school and drop off into a classroom, but i think at all uh, the idea started during my presence here as a curator of the library. it is known that all schools have since the beginning of the work turned into sheltering centers. children started to flock to the library asking if they could borrow some books or stories english instead of addresses. i recorded 10th numbers in the library borrowers register with time. a student named holmes suggested if they could sit and study, you see, and that's how the initiative light kind of came about on the team of teachers. i'll volunteering to instruct these children on different in now, and this via mobile that this initiative is one and a half months old. it was a pretty and tied to knowledge is the cornerstone of all future. we must continue
10:30 pm
with the education in order to be able to build a country of future. no, you know, but i do. we come here every other day and we are taught many subjects, a big science match. in addition to register and poetry, the teachers are also providing the kids with psychological and moral support. philip burrell can be a. charlie, this is a great positive impact on children's emotional healing. were striking a balance between teaching and providing mental and psychological help. children, well they are hit with tons of misery sufficient enough. these young palestinian students in gaza are striving to get that application despite all. now how yeah, now i'm on. now what of all we'll call them went up there is not even a pen and paper to write or story to tell except for the story of death, destruction displacement installed ation. despite all the screaming life, we are adamant to continue with the education to light
10:31 pm
a candle of hope for our fellow students. while the war and gods the continues unabated. these children are choosing hope over despair. resilience over the fields and clinging on to any semblance of normal life, despite the desk with them and carnage that surrounds them. the hash and jesse are still ahead on elsie or the family of russian opposition. cigarette explained to volunteer, shown his body, but they say authorities want him buried in secrets. the . the hello will see a different kind of unsettled weather, making its way across northwest and pops up here. probably by the next couple of days gone this, the very wet and windy weather making its way through. but we all got to say some of the more wintry weather as we going through the next couple of times. you spec link of shadow cloud and
10:32 pm
a lot of ice showers will be wintry in nature as we go on through the next style. so just sliding into that west side of scott from both west england and of course the west side of the high ground. you can expect to see a fly real to of snow and some risk where the to, to the western side of the island. but it went through by the to dad is a southern areas of the front sent me around the out. so you can expect to see some snow and scattering a show around up here in a little positive spain as well. so fair, but it wouldn't you whether you're not full cost over the next few days. so the reason we have go to whether just around the bowl takes a little dry, the average opponent, east and positive gemini down towards the alpine region for a time. it is well the same as we go on through saturday, west to weather, making his way across the, to narrow accounts with some snow. it is the side of the met. it's right, and that's the place to pay. that's what we're all going to see. present sunshine continuing over the next few days. so what's what the making just wanted to know the past of morocco and the tides increasingly what the southern nigeria. the,

the unique perspective desktop plays soon set does, told the palestinians to go to on heard voices, to humor. i try to highlight the absurdities inconsistency, but upon proceed with the landscape. connect with our community and tap into conversations you will find elsewhere to take every day. this is going to unspeakable horror as to really alone about what's happening because of the tasks and media attention. the stream on out to 0. examining the impact of today's headline is objectivity is still possible for you. we're not only pushing the most is what we are moving out. is there a set the stage ai is a powerful tool and enables bad people to be by giving voice to the voice. i really hope that what i'm doing improves it's possible to protect and save different programs,
10:34 pm
such as when you rise to an alternative view of the world. today. on alex's yes, the the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching else a 0, a reminder of our headlines this hour is really war plans of struck 3 houses and they're all about and central gas and killing. at least 5 people. dozens have been injured, including children, casualties are now screening into an ox, the hospital for treatments. at least one palestinian has been killed after it is really a strike targeted the jamalia refugee camp that's in northern gaza cousins. health

10:39 pm
made by president new without the scene of us comparing the war on guys up with the whole coast. this has generated diplomatic fire storm here, and we are the 181 among the foreign ministers. preston's here today on wednesday, we saw secretary of state tend to be blink contributing all the way to resilience for those capital to meet with president of the field. what we're hearing that point administer surgery lab. rob is going to be doing the same thing today. so there's lots of divisions within this. the g 20 uh, the g 20 members of the following ministers here. and we are, there's an angel. we're hearing that there's not going to be a joint statements because of the failure to reach consensus among the member states and right on can't, we can go live to the g 20 foreign ministers meeting in rio, us extra state anthony blinking is speaking now for us to humanity, and that's climate change in our countries of been leaders on that. of course the, the rain far as the amazon is one of the world's greatest natural resources when it
10:40 pm
comes to actually effectively dealing with climate change, carbon emissions present a little to put it this way when he was at the white house and present button to take care of the amazon rain forest today is to take care of the planet or just take care of the planet or is to take care of our own survival. i don't think anyone can put it any better. so the united states is working side by side with brazil to support its efforts to preserve the rain forest to combat the forest station. we're putting resources into that we're engaged with many other countries around the world to encourage them to participate. and with us say, id and other organizations in the us government. we're working in very practical concrete ways to help with support the management and preservation of reinforced in 2025. brazil will head up the cop cop 30 and below him. this is a very important opportunity to advance progress on many different ways in which
10:41 pm
all of us are dealing with climate change. and we applaud results leadership in another area where brazil is leading and the united states has partnered with brazil is on dealing with the challenge of food and security and global hunger. here i'm proud of the fact that united states has invested millions of dollars over the last few years. both to deal with emergency situations that we face the world of space as a result of climate change covered and conflict, including rushes, aggression against ukraine. since 2021. united states has invested 17 and a half $1000000000.00 in trying to support food security for people around the world. but it's not only the emergency assistance accounts and i discussed this with with present lulu. it's the work we are doing to invest in productive capacity around the world for countries from africa to latin america, to well beyond. that is the answer to the challenge of food and security. we have many initiatives underway that are doing just that adapting our agricultural
10:42 pm
systems are food production systems. with brazil, we have a partnership to bring artificial intelligence and other technologies to improve the soil in countries. and one of the things that we found and is at the heart of one of our own major new initiatives vac start vision for adapted across the soil is when you have resilience and nutrition seats resilience to climate change and other extreme weather patterns. when you have strong soil, anything as possible, and this initiative with brazil is working to do just that. and that means that what we then put into the ground on top of the seats and soil like fertilizer will be much more effective. so we're working to develop products that use defense more efficiently, more effectively lowering costs, lowering dependencies, and at the same time, lowering emissions, stronger climate change. so another powerful example of where a 2 companies are working together in common purpose. and then of course,
10:43 pm
present bite and present it, look our joint profoundly by there and to predict acting worker rights to defending and strengthening labor around the world. i think both presidency of the same way uh, workers, labor or the heart of our success is countries. we are both willing economies from the bottom up in the middle out here again, the partnership for workers rights that the 2 president sign stopping work or exploitation, focusing on force labor on child labor promoting rights around the world. here again, our countries are joining and we have a joint action plan as well to eliminate racial and ethnic discrimination and proponent, quality, equitable access to education, to health care, to justice typically for people of african indigenous origin. i mentioned all of this because it was really the heart of the conversation that i haven't present will yesterday. and aspects are also at the heart of the g. 20 agenda which brazil is leading. and the other main purpose of this visit was to take part in
10:44 pm
a minute meeting with a foreign ministers led by foreign minister europe to prepare the agenda for the leaders when they have the meeting of the 320 leadership towards the end of this year. here again, brazil and the united states are working very closely together as partners and is the united states purpose in this to sit and make a success of results, presidency of the g 20 in all the areas of focus, the result is set forth. whether again, it comes to advancing the rights of, of workers and labors, whether it comes to dealing with climate change, food security, whether it comes to reforming the institutions that shape how countries interact around the world. we're working hand in hand with present on that. now of the scope, the scale of some of these global challenges is immense. and i know that there are
10:45 pm
times when it feels like those challenges are outpacing our collective capacity to tackle them. but i think what the g 20 can demonstrate it's demonstrated in the past, and i believe will demonstrate it in the future. is that no, we actually do have the capacity when we're working together to effectively meet the moment to meet the challenges for facing to actually address the needs of the people that we represent. united states 1st part is working to do that and we had some discussion of these are like 6 of the g 20 on ukraine. there is a strong, comfortable desire among virtually all of the d, 20 for the russian aggression to end and for peace to prevail in a way that oppose the rights of ukrainians to their freedom, to their future, to the church while integrity of their country is very clear in the meetings that we had over the last 2 days. the conflict and gaza between israel and of us were focused intensely on trying to get an agreement that results in the release of the
10:46 pm
remaining hostages. and that produces an extended amount of trans ceasefire. and again, those are goals that i think virtually everyone in the g 20 shares or haiti, an area that is close to home and close to the hearts of americans and personally. and so like we see a situation that continues to deteriorate, particularly when it comes to the profound and security as a result of the gangs that are running ramp and not only important for us, but increasing beyond we see a state that's on the verge of becoming a failed state, and the result is that people are suffering tremendously, not only from the violence, including sexual violence, but just from the inability to get the basic necessities of life. today, we had a meeting that involved of a number of countries. all of them will be contributing to the mission to help provide renew security for 80 that was endorsed by the united nations. so last fall
10:47 pm
and that we're now making, making real we have a commitment from kenya to lead this effort in support of the haitian national police. and today we had a, as i said, a meeting with, well, more than a dozen countries. each of them is contributing or plants to contribute significantly to this mission, with personnel, with the equipment, with training and with financial resources. and i think today we had uh, at least another $120000000.00 committed to that effort are working together to deal with the regular migration a challenge that the countries around the world are facing in this moment. this is simply put a challenge of historic proportions. we see more people on the move now around the planet, not only in our own hemisphere, but around the planet, more people than ever before. since we've been reporting these numbers. but here again, we're working collectively to try to address the challenge. and then in so many other places around the world, whether it is conflict,
10:48 pm
where there isn't security. the united states working with other countries, is trying to make a change and trying to make a difference, whether it's and sedan, whether it's an eastern d, r, c, d, t o, p, a, somalia. we're working in all of these places to try to deal with in security and also more broadly in africa with a very strong affirmative agenda which i was able to highlight on my recent visit. finally, beyond security, we are putting together new coalitions of countries and organizations to share challenges in new ways. we have a global partnership now to direct investment and infrastructure in ways that create a race to the top, not a race to the bottom, to make sure that as we pursue infrastructure projects in countries around the world and direct investment in that direction we're doing in a way that doesn't settle countries with debt that respects the rights of workers,
10:49 pm
the environment. transparency of that coalition, including here in brazil, is increasingly focused on concrete projects and putting the resources into the as we have countries. one more than a 100 countries that have come together to meet a global methane pledge, the largest single contributor to global warming, to cut emissions by 30, but methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030. that will have a powerful impact. and as i've discussed many times, we now have a global coalition to deal with what is now the number one killer of americans at age 18 to 49, synthetic lp lights in the case of the united states fentenol. but in the case of many other countries, we see methamphetamines, we see academy academy, and we see tramadol, this is one of the new challenges that increasingly countries around the world are being attentive to because they need to be. and this was also a subject at the g 20. finally, steven is we're trying to work on issues of a piece of security, even as we're dealing with these broad trans national challenges that no one
10:50 pm
country can effectively deal with alone. we also have to be re investing in and updating the international institutions that bring us all together to deal with these challenges. that was the subject of today's session of the g 20. we have to have institutions that are more reflective of the world as it is today, not the world as it was when these institutions recreated most of them 80 years ago . we have to have institutions that are more responsive and more effective in meeting the challenges of today. so the united states has been leading in these efforts to we're leading the effort to expand the united nations security council, both in terms of the permanent and non part of the numbers so that it better reflects today's world, today's realities. we're looking and working to sharpen, the ones focus on the most critical, emerging issues of the day and emerging opportunities, starting with artificial intelligence. the resolution that we have before the united nations general assembly is a way to set
10:51 pm
a patient to make sure that artificial intelligence is used in a way that is safe, that's trustworthy. and that actually advances progress on issues that matter. people including achieving the sustainable development goals. we're working to make the international financial institutions more responsive, more effective, more efficient in ways that create access to capital for countries that needed to concessional fund financing. and to dealing with huge debt burdens to so many countries face. were amplifying the voice, emerging markets and developing countries throughout these institutions. and we're working as well to mobilize private capital to make sure that it's directed the right places in the right ways in all of these ways. the united states is helping to lead the effort to make sure that these options that bring us together and what we're working together are more reflective of today's world and more effective meeting his challenges. this is in so many ways a moment of tremendous testing for all of us in the,
10:52 pm
for the 30 years that i've been engaged in these issues and government. i can't think of a time when there's been a greater multiplicity, a greater complexity, a greater interconnectedness of the challenges for facing. and i think that only underscores the importance of doing more than ever before in working together in cooperating in for data and communicating the powerful reality is this no one country alone has the capacity to deal with these challenges effectively. but when we work together, when we focus our efforts on common goals, i think we've demonstrated in the past and we will demonstrate in the future that there's nothing we can't actually achieve. thank you us. and that was us secretary of state entity blinking speaking at the g. 20 foreign ministers meeting in rio de janeiro. he highlighted climate change, fluid security and labor rights,
10:53 pm
as areas of cooperation and collaboration with the host, brazil. he didn't mention one of the points of contention, stressed by results foreign minister yesterday, namely reforming world institutions such as the u. n. and he acknowledge the quote huge challenge in dealing with wars in ukraine and gaza. he's now taking questions from the press. let's listening kate efforts to respond collectively to global challenges and how to just effect this week's meetings. and then continuing on russia, president biden said the new sanctions are coming tomorrow in connection with the to your anniversary of the full scale invasion of ukraine. as well as the death of alexi and evolving kremlin, reportedly his warrant of all these widow not to return to russia. and his mother is complaining that the russian government is pressuring her into a secret burial. how does the us and its allies and partners hope to influence or alter russia's behavior when previous sanctions have not had that effect?
10:54 pm
and further is a state sponsor of terrorism designation, a possible way to a further influence, i should think. right, thanks for that. so 1st, i think again, if you were in the room over the last 2 days, when it came to, for example, the discussions that we had about the russian aggression against ukraine and not just against ukraine, against the very principles that the heart of the international system that we were here to talk about and hopefully to strengthen. i think if you were in that room as far mr. ly rough was, you heard a very strong course coming from not as i said, not just the g 7 countries within the d 20. but for many others as well about the imperative that ending the russian aggression, restoring peace, making sure that your trainings are the ones who decide their own future, preserving the charge for all integrity, the country. so that's increasingly clear. so i think um, in a sense, uh,
10:55 pm
it's actually quite useful reminder to russia about what virtually the entire world thinks of this regression and the strong desire to see it. and. and again, there are 2 reasons for that. one is the fact that it's an aggression against the, the principals at the heart of the system. the other is that it's had consequences for countries and people around the world. rising food prices rising energy prices that have afflicted people, largely because of this russian regression. now, we've been able to address that in increasingly effective ways, including ukraine, by pushing the russian navy back and getting access to the black sea again. next sports did. lexi, from ukraine now exceed what they were before the russian aggression in february of 2022. but i think countries around the world are seeing the impact is having on them. and it's another reason they want it to stop in terms of uh, new measures and additional sanctions. i stay tune,
10:56 pm
they will be forthcoming. and i just say this about mr. devonte. someone truly heroic in his life in his work. but the fact that fund a report and saw it necessary to persecute poison and in prison. one man speaks volumes, not about russia strength under prison. but his weakness. and i think again, countries around the world including of the g, are very clear about they thought about what happened to mr. devonte on the fernando david with band tv. how long is the secretary? uh, it's a pleasure to have to turn it off the rest. your thank you. uh,
10:57 pm
i'd like to ask you, what is your personal opinion not the united states, but yours? me. so think about, uh, president lewis statement comparing this felicia engaged with the whole counts. and then additionally, if you believe that this kind of statement good uh, spiral for straight, the brazilians bob and my plans off uh, presented at these uh, 2 days after get 20, especially. uh, the big changes proposed in the un security council. we've not included enough in other countries such as the result. thank you. thank you very much. first, let me repeat something i said a few minutes ago the, the quality of the conversation, the exchange with president little i on behalf of united states could not have been more pleased with. and i'm grateful to him for all of the time he
10:58 pm
dedicated to our meeting. but also again, this would be the substance of it. and as i said, we were focused almost entirely on the very important and powerful common agenda that the united states and brazil share when it comes to the big challenges of our, of our moment. and doing so in ways that improves the lives of people in brazil, the united states and uh, and around the world that was almost the entirety of, of, of our conversation. and it's reflected the fact that in so many ways the, the vision that um, present a little of brings is the same vision that the president biden us and as a representative of the president button. my purpose was really to continue to, to deepen that common approach and continue to look at practical ways. we can, we can advance it now. we also have differences on some issues in the way we, we approach them and on this particular question, obviously the,
10:59 pm
the comparison of, uh, uh, gaza, to the, the holocaust, we profoundly disagree. but that's also something the friends do. we can have these disagreements, even profound disagreements on one particular issue or are, or i should say, even an aspect of the issue and still continue all of the vital work that we're doing together. and also we're joined in having the, the shared objectives in this moment of getting hostages out as getting an extended humanitarian ceasefire in, along with more humanitarian assistance and ending the conflict. that's a shared objective. so i think it's important at all that was the nature of our conversation, of our exchange and we're committed. we remain committed to advancing our common agenda, both between the united states and brazil directly as well as through business leadership of the g. 20 will go to simon lewis with reuters.
11:00 pm
thank you. and i wanted to ask a little bit of a more on the, on the guys a question um, coming to the g 20 meetings last year. uh, you were able to kind of gone of widespread support from members of the d. 20 of um, with your position on russia. um, you know, even sightseeing us out to principals that were being bridge by the invasion of ukraine. this year we got most of the members of the g 20 a, or many members of the d. 20 calling for an immediate cease fire in gauze. us in contradiction with your own position. and, you know, highlighted by the fact the us was forced to use a veto, you end of that issue. so comparing that last year to this year, uh, is your support for israel and it's was leaving, you isolated and has it put you on the back foot and interrelated couple of points . they're continuing warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe and gaza. the conviction issues and losing meaning
11:01 pm
trucks getting hate and make it into gaza, but they don't actually reach size and need to address the headset is suspending
