12:10 pm
the last 24 hours. while alison's here as honey. my mood joins us now. live from rough, honey. what's the current situation on humanitarian aid? getting into the strip. i ask you this because the un secretary general says that it's time to flood gaza with a those are his words. but the head of the largest agency in gaza on the wall says that trucks have once again been denied access to the north. the yes, we're looking at right now or yes, across the board. this a tragedies after a tragedy, not all the people that been in during the intense bombing campaign that literally has destroyed the old means of life, including distribution points. whether here in rough city, within the past couple weeks, or in a, in the northern part where there is an actual spam and spreading like fire and has already killed a 27 and children because of that. and for the hydration and as far vision. but the
12:11 pm
fact that the you and achieve visit the not discharge is really military or from making a decision of denying humanitarian trucks to largely hungry traumatized northern part of this trip. not only do united, but within the past few weeks, these really military deliberately targeted 8 seekers. 8 more cars as well as in a truck called voice, making their ways to the central parts as well as the northern part of the ga strip . there is a large, there's a lot of restriction and obstruction on the global human, a $3.00 and $8.00. we're looking at people here are searching for essential basic needs on daily basis. the daily struggling for people to find food, to find water, to find basic survival items. so they could combat they were really grave situations are created by the ongoing bombings, every with that has literally changed everything for them and made their life very difficult. so far,
12:12 pm
we're looking at very trick amount of 8 since the beginning of the war. it's important to remind our viewers that before the war, god, the daily needs of food supplies and water supplies, and other survival items is about 5500 trucks a day. and right now, the total number of a truck since the beginning of award that happening allowed into gaza is not nearly enough of what people need to face the greater needs of their daily struggle analysis. here is honeywell mode reporting from rough, a honey as always, thank you for your work, a nation efforts to end israel's war and gaza appear to be storing houses. he or his learned is really negotiators rejected homeless. his latest proposal for a ceasefire. there are reports, these really delegation has left the talks in doha and returned home by some name is a member of homeless political bureau. and he told eleanor 0 is really only interested in the release of the captive, not in ending the war. it was very shocking that i've been with you to have
12:13 pm
unfortunately accept it to, to uh, to uh, to convey or to handle this. so any ideas to the, to, to, to our, to our side. because based on studies went on buddies to look good to certain decisions on products with them and see if those ends with americans. we have promised that at least these to treat the demands of adult as these failed the tooth and withdrawal. and that it can, of a lot of these people to them, houses, there is a positive and there's an acceptance from that. so either, so i know suddenly uh out of nothing this right is object and therefore we believe we believe that it is not about negotiations. because nothing about these fab is about intermediates in yahoo is so we're using the negotiations as a cover and to gain more time and more attempt to continue with his plan by
12:14 pm
complete from budman, the rest of the guys a fit, including good offer and to release the attention insight is laid up also to the needs and measuring. i'm pretty sure you're in these to security council discussions in it before it is about new or rejection of anything. this aggression, despite of all the bushes, is still a head on alpha 0 must go in morning south to friday's concert whole attack. while the government brings in new security measures and the us vice president calls the stricter gun control of the sides of the high school shooting that killed 17. the remnants from a tropical storm injected quite a bit of moisture into the atmosphere in central australia. however,
12:15 pm
one cares of proof, alice $136.00 millimeters over 48 hours. might that sound like a lot, but this is actually half a year's worth of rain and 48 hours. so i think one more day of intense rain on monday before eventually this rain will begin to pete out and dry off. nobody is drive across southern australia, especially in the west, per se could string together. it's dry 6 months stretched in quite some time. so watch carefully also in the southeast corner, looking quite good as well to new zealand, different story rain and wind alerts and plays this disturbance rolls into south island. and let's go to and to china right now with this phrase off the south china sea. that's pumping in humidity to northern vietnam and china is high and an island temperatures will feel in the forty's here and then for china is against the river valley. this is pretty interesting, both in the west and the east. we've got warrants, but sandwiched in between cool and wu han, this will eventually drop down temperatures in shanghai. and once the sun pokes out temperatures and will hon,
12:16 pm
come up. now this disturbed weather will pour into japan que should cocoa in southern honshu. and this one's going to be quite trenching on tuesday. the steve nature does not function. we don't exist. we depend, which takes care of itself from nature, we have a chance to move forward. dying are coming soon. in an increasingly complex world, it's paramount to be direct, is exception was there should be this month on sort of discussions that come through the noise upfront on how to 0 the
12:17 pm
the, you're watching else 0 reminder of our headlines. voting has just begun instead of goals delayed presidential election. the new pulling date was announced just 2 weeks ago after an attempt to postpone the vote of december sparks and months of interest. at least 6 people have been killed. and then this really strikes on a home in rasa that some southern gaza is really wor, planes of also bombs on eunice, explosions and gunfire happened, reported near the necessary medical and mediation efforts to end. israel's one doesn't appear to be stalling out as you were. sources say is really negotiators have rejected almost as late a ceasefire proposal and left the tongues that were happening in doha. does talk about that with some very professor of international affairs here at guitar university. it's always hard to know exactly what's going on really in these talks from the outside looking in. but what is your read on it?
12:18 pm
i think the gap is still there between these writers and come us and it is where it is our met and willing get to me how much, how much demands at least the love you through on. and they want to uh, offer them something that can help them sending out to continue the door. so this sees fire department one is nothing has electric on until uh what he's looking for is just, you know, um to be seen as someone who's looking for a permanent solution. but the, you know, simultaneously he's undermining the folks from within buying. that's empowering his delegation to, uh, negotiate, and every time you know, they have to go back to leave and get the instructions. and these i was told in tactics used by nothing you all in order to bring the whole negotiation source 10 to 7. so if i understand correctly, your read on it is, benjamin netanyahu is not negotiating in earnest. he doesn't actually want a deal in that you're set up in a bit safe. yes, he's not willing to get the deal that would enable him as to be seen as someone who
12:19 pm
achieve something he wants to continue his war and he wants to probably at the the americans end up here. and as if he's trying to help everyone to get to a deal, but you know, he's undermining at the negotiations by a changing to getting into demand. that's all actually uh, that's even larger than the argument of netanyahu. and other seniors really figure is, is that the more we meaning, the more they these realize put pressure on how much the, the better deal we can hope to get in yet? do you believe that argument? why do you mean uh that they've been, they made this perfectly clear enough from the get go and the only minutes we operation? well, we can have my son mix him as a compromise and, and conceived and disabled as it, has there been much compromise so far? i think they offer something. i mean, i'm, us, position has changed a little bit execute will say in order to make this be possible. but there's rate
12:20 pm
is not buying into these ladies once more concessions they want to me, the human beings even come us. and they simply, i mean, he, i'm talking about and it's in the all, personally, he wants to keep his coalition in tax without really going in and, and, and in a deal that would raise different questions that he can't answer. i mean, he, i'm talking to more than tennessee and as a word on the united nations because we saw the un security council and ultimately, vito, a draft resolution that would have called for that did call for an immediate cease fire that was put forward by the us, there's going to be another draft resolution that's expect to be voted on. that's tomorrow. monday much shorter, much simpler calling for an immediate cease fire for the month of ramadan. do you think that has any chance of passing this time? i doubt that because the americans, i'm not really into this kind of business. the americans want to, they called but they just yesterday or 2 days ago they called for a ceasefire. yeah. but it's condition, you know,
12:21 pm
it's condition for with the release of the, with the hostages. but like is straight for a cease fire resolution without condition, i doubt that. so you don't think that they'd have their backs against the wall because they've been arguing for the last 34 days. the us now wants to cease fire. there's a very simple short simply where did text on the table going for a ceasefire. they kind of would have to vote for it. you don't believe that i didn't believe that the americans will go down that way. all right, sounds good. all right, thank you so much for joining us. is it out? or russia has carried out your strikes in west and ukraine. in the early hours of sunday, keith says it's air defense systems managed to repel the attack. a polish authorities say that they will demand an explanation from most go after one of the messiah was breached. it's your space. meanwhile, the ukrainian military claims that it's hit to russian ships, a communication center and other black safely infrastructure that's in the crime in port this deductible. the recent increase in russian attacks are putting pressure
12:22 pm
on ukrainian medical units on the front line. health workers are looking at innovative ways of helping wounded soldiers recover. officer with rob mcbride traveled the eastern ukraine and spent time with soldiers on the front lines. not far from the front line, they don't yet region this medical cruise days, mostly hidden during the day for fear of drone attacks. it's night time they work really begins and the number of casualties is rising. stars of the trend, little book, the bottomless, there is a lot more work to do, especially with the recent attacks. so we are a lot busier fellow medic late and it shows us their ambulance, which they used to meet up with units bringing back injured soldiers from the battlefield to be treated and transfer to westfield hospital on this night. they get just one soldier. he has slight shrapnel wounds and concussion, and will likely return to duty off to treatment centers like this one in hockey, the ne, in ukraine. also a physical and psychological support to help recovery,
12:23 pm
but deem is still suffering from the effects of a serious concussion 2 years ago. so we can with this machine or i shall landed nearby and we were all thrown out of the car. everything was like a fog, you only remember fragments t like the other. so just come here for regular treatment before returning to the units with the prospect of a spring defensive by russia. there's a growing awareness in ukraine of the need. formal soldiers with an emphasis on keeping the experienced troops on the front line even enough to enjoy the scent, is also offered vocational training for students. while mobile units travel to the front line, i don't think is the patient's are so happy, it's like they're on holiday when they are with us. there is a psychological burden on the front line. and this offers a distraction from that. as this was, shows no sign in defending these are services seemingly in increasing demand. rob
12:24 pm

12:28 pm
a security measures have been tyson that a series of civilities at the suspects of back to me. thing that talk in congress may be taken into cost to do that with a question still remains about who's behind that the time of the russian president alleged the b ukrainian side. what's involved and we hear the some of the rhetoric from a number of russian politicians while the russian needs as directly blames ukraine . so that's how they say the big talk cuz we're trying to flee to ukraine. but the ukranian side was preparing a safe passage for them. and they also tried to avoid saying the beast, cuz i'm actually work from subject castanan older not to ignite the races. so nationalist, red tricks, they have all those transactions trots people's attention from thinking about the role of intelligence and security services and prevention. they talk you'll hear something valuable reporting from uh, just outside the sites of the attack in moscow. thank you very much,
