1:02 pm
has found they were intentionally targeted. b is really military launched. 3 consecutive air strikes against the roll. central kitchen workers, despite being told of their movements. reports also suggests that is really military officers and soldiers in gaza, routinely act on their own violating army regulations and proper chain of command. well, one is the newspaper has quoted, is really army sources of saying in gaza. everyone does as he pleases the world. central kitchen agency con boy was struck as it left the food warehouse and dated by law. on monday, 6 of the victims were for nationals and one was palestinian. well, here's what the zeros investigation has revealed. so the world central kitchen says it's 3 vehicles left the warehouse here and dated by law, sometime around 10 30 pm local time on april. the 1st, the convoy then travel just over 4 kilometers,
1:03 pm
making it to the sheet streets along the coast. witness to say the 1st the vehicle was hit by a missile here just before 10, 45 pm. and the injured or seen being transferred from the 1st cart to the 2nd armored vehicle. the 2nd car made it 800 meters selves from the 1st attack. when it too was bombed and photos clearly. so it was hit straight through the roof by project out from above. the 3rd vehicle in the convoy. it made it a further 1600 meters down the road before it was hit by a 3rd and final strikes also through the roof. so we have him run cano joining us from occupied east jerusalem to tell us what's being said and is really in mind because it's really media reports suggest a lot of discipline on the part of commanders in the gaza strip. tell us more about on the well the move this goes on the mold, the shock of the actual attack, wayne's,
1:04 pm
people are beginning to ask questions. how did this happen? these really say they have a clear come on and control structure in place. but the military analysts, i've been speaking to suggest that that might not be the case, and that's backed up by an article in the is really newspaper her advice. he was reading you uh, a quote from it. uh, everybody in the come on knows exactly what the cause of the attack was in gaza. everyone does as he pleases. it goes on site army regulations, say the final approval for any action to get sensitive targets. like how you doing, can i say sions must be given by senior offices, the division come on at the head of the commodity, even the chief of self. but in goal is that this whole set every come on to set the rules for himself and gives his own interpretation of the rules of engagement. they say is now becoming a real problem and an actual problem for these riley. and these ready armies being publicly criticized for a very long time over his lack of discipline. let's take exhibit a for example. all of those take talk videos that we say is,
1:05 pm
randy soldiers post themselves, which have been quoted by the you in special rapids on human rights as being perhaps evidence of a little card. now you have this a breakdown in the combined and control structure where is rarely sold is also be acting as i want and goes a m, ron. so look, i mean there has been international condemnation, especially as for and workers were the victims here. and as we know, as you're saying this is not the 1st attack on humanitarian workers and gaza. so how much real pressure is this putting on the is release? well i think because the for national work is that will be a tremendous amount of pressure and there's a lot of public pressure we noticed already oppose us by can have trainings as like the brits and spike and the us has little sized spoken about this. but the is randy's can actually just skip the results of the investigation to those governments and the governments can actually draw a line 100. we've seen that before. does it have an e,
1:06 pm
a result or not counts ability? well, the us in the u. k, we know it will continue to supply arms, weapons, and money to as well. so it's unlikely that have any effect bad thoughts, a $173.00 underwater united nation relief. what agency work is being killed in gauze and the vast majority of those palestinians every time you also use ready, uh they are they going to investigate this out? we're looking into it and that's it, because these will far and as the also is incredibly simple, they will have to mount an investigation. it's valid to the governments to say, well, actually we're going to release that as being public school. to say to is right, like a west size fight with this. now go back to far to get. ready on cost. okay, we gotta thank you so much and more on time runs reporting for us from occupied east jerusalem. we'll get the view from guys. and now i'm bringing thought about zoom tart as our correspondent joining us from it. i faxed that to myself of the gaza strip thought to update us on this situation into that fast where you are and right across the gaza strip. what's been happening in the past few hours
1:07 pm
or well generally within the past 24 hours, we have been seeing a police search of is there any mail it to your tax, of course much of areas in the gaza strip. in fact, the reason why these many minutes we have targeted or has been so house in there is by getting at least full pallets putting it on government expands and i'm fighting with the eastern areas, the one with cetera. and also in an area where it's within the hours of today's morning, in fact, we have been hearing loud explosions and the far south of the city of con units, we put plenty here. it's river for ration from our location right now. in a rough, uh, as part of city is ours to also show quite the result of the is there any attacks that had been carried out in the past 2 days? i work is that tied to the where the majority were complete before in the past, the attack has been driving completely negative consequences on the humanitarian situation. in terms of specifically that to do
1:08 pm
a central kitchen is considered to be one of the main food providers into 2 or 3 hours to happen to providing more than $40000000.00 meals since october. but me growing cools from the international community to increase the capacity and the for the city of a deliveries to the gaza strip. that had been one of the stick to the, from the ongoing offensive being north by the is very military till now. the read. all right, thank you so much. i thought of also i'm reporting from alpha in the south of the gaza strip. well, after mondays attack, the world central kitchen suspended its operations and gaza and displays. palestinians say that they fear attacks like these will lead to further suffering. let's take a look at other 88 agencies whom face similar challenges. there is the american near east refugee aid agency and it's decided to stop it's operations and gaza altogether. the a group had provided an average of 150000 meals a day in partnership with the world central kitchen in february. so you an agency
1:09 pm
for palestinian refugees. winner was suspended its 8 operations to northern gauze on. and this came after what it called a collapse of civil order and prevention, a safe passage for its trucks and other organizations like the international medical corps, which has one of the largest field hospitals. and just off is also thinking it's humanitarian work and gaza. well known, speak to sandra rashid, who is a palestine country director for the n g o. the american, near east refugee aide. she joins us from brown. my love that to me occupied westbank send her a sheet. thanks for your time with us. so at a time when we hear over and over that to monetary and aid has to be scaled off in gaza because the needs are so immense. 8 organizations like yours have decided to stop the humanitarian work. but what impact do you think this is going to have on palestinians, and garza and thank you and thank you for having me. i think the long term impacts are going to be dire. we already know that the situation on the ground is
1:10 pm
extremely difficult. even when an era was providing the 150000 meals a day, the v c k was providing as much anymore. and now we are suspended. we have not completely stopped. we're taking a clause right now to see a d, a value with the safety of our staff. our staff have guided our work and they themselves feel like there's a target on their backs and have requested that we take a cause. so that we can insure their safety. so when you're saying your take a pause, can you give us some sort of idea how long that suspension is going to last? you know, this all depends on the israeli side. is the indiscriminate killing that's been taking on taking place in the last 6 months of your colleagues let you know that there was a 173 and her human entirety, workers killed in the last 6 months. but that numbers over 200 for all, even if you're in a workers where we also see a high rise of killings in for medical professionals, journalists, civilians,
1:11 pm
children, we are waiting to have some assurance from israel and from the international community that doing the spite of saving work will not constitute putting a target on our staff that so as of today have you, us is released in the international community for those assurances. and if you have, have you gotten a response and what hasn't been we've been in discussion with both the is really the end of the international community. we're talking on various levels. and i think that, um, the what was said earlier is that the world was in shock. i think the more that we have time to process is the world surprising and shocking that it is. these are 3 convoys that were hit by 3 different bond as we mentioned that through the roof of their car, which indicates a targeted killings. we are all really, i think this is going to take some, some time from the international community. i would hope they wouldn't take too
1:12 pm
much time, but they're not going to be in israel to ensure that they would secure the safety of our stuff. and you touched upon this and the beginning of the impact that it would have on people in gaza. i wonder if you can just expand on this a little bit and tell us what impact suspensions like these have on a distribution efforts in the gaza strip. and particularly in the north of the country where we understand for awhile now very, very little aid has been able to reach the north. yes, this is shoes. we are narrower, providing 20000 pop meals in the north every day. we were working with w. b and other convoys to provide tracks and commodities to the north. this is all stop the situation, as i mentioned, is extremely dire. we see that there is started ration. there are over 4545 cases recorded down by starvation so far. and this is what we see due to strictly
1:13 pm
starvation. we don't know how many deaths are related to mount nutrition. this situation in terms of not having to just apply through our kitchen or 2 food process samples is extremely critical. this is a very hard decision for us to take. we know that the situation on the side, it keeps getting worse. the situation gets worse by the day. but as i mentioned, we weren't forced to do this. this is something that we were forced to do to share our safety. um, as an, as a, you're a capella sign country direct or an as an aide work or what do you think israel is trying to achieve by targeting aid workers and then thousands through i think what we see is a matter of targeting humanitarian medical journalist. uh, i don't have, i am not in the heads of israel intelligence or strategies to understand what, what the purpose is, but we, you see a pattern of this happening. okay,
1:14 pm
we'll leave it there. sandra, frustrated, we thank you so much for speaking to us from, but on the line they occupied with you. now the us president joe biden has called for a swift investigation and for the findings to be made public. our fisher has more on docs from washington dc. as well, president bygone says he spoke to jose on today's the founder of the world. central kitchen called him his friend and said he expressed his condolences at the death of the workers and gaza. he then goes on in a statement to m some criticism, not directly israel, not explicitly. it is real because of the attack, but we'll ship it back so you could understand the context here. he says, on average, the heart broken by the death of 7 humanitarian workers, including one america and guys a they were providing foods to hungry civilians in the middle of the war. they were brave and self with their desks out of tragedy. he then says,
1:15 pm
israel has pledge to conduct a southern investigation into why the 8 workers vehicle were hit by you strikes that investigation must be in his words. swift, it must bring a current ability and its findings must be made public. now of course have seen israel, katya investigations, in similar sorts of incidents. we'd all just need to had a similar situation when the fairly, as promised, a fill in transplant investigation into the killing of a colleague sharing aqua and jeanine 2 years ago. and at that point, these relays admitted that they were responsible, but then said that no one would be held accountable for that. this is something that joe biden is clearly trying to avoid, even more tragically, i'd still buy a new statement. this is not a standalone incident. this conflict has been one of the worst and recent memories in terms of how many ead workers have been killed. of course, under what has suffered numerous tests in guys a during the war. and there has been no statement of this trends from the white
1:16 pm
house. okay, we can now bring in a home that i showed he's a professor of security and military studies at the door hot and systems for graduate studies. joining us here on site, welcome back to all to 0, all my gosh or so if we just 1st look at the, what is really media is reporting harassing particular saying that there's a lack of discipline among forces on the grounds. and, but the commanders and forces involved active country to orders. what do you read into that statement? it's, it's an attempt to shift the blink to junior at offices. right. so there are 2 things there. one issue is this, the, the junior officers is right. the army usually have more or more freedom in terms of making decisions on the spot in the battlefield. it's a, it's an is really well for fed. it resulted in technical aggression historically, but also resulted in a happy trigger. shoulders through that for a lot of this is, and the, it's part of the culture likely to nato countries. the need to on a recorded mission command. so do the delegating to junior officers and decision
1:17 pm
making. it can result in an, in some unnecessary. this is, and in the case of the is what it is we saw and goes into this is among the hostages. the 10s of thousands of civilian deaths is, but also even a lot of this is from, from the fire. so you have 20 percent this from, from the fire. so this is ready to soldiers killed by the colleagues. don't buy all this because of all the full part of that because of the that the delegation to junior officers. but the other thing is, well, this means that it is intentional, it is intentional because there are 3 strikes on 3 cars off the 1st like fmc that was communications with the is radio army. and 2nd strike happened in the 3rd strike up. and of course this was done according to the agency of 8 and just to had given is really is there coordinates as a this is often doing causal. yep. good. it's the, the confliction was there. so the idea that this was an accident is not true
1:18 pm
because of the, the whole become fiction processes. but it's very clear you give the, the exact location of the convoy describe it in detail. so what type of car is the, the, the plate numbers and so on? sometimes it's, it's mocked even by, by infrared to it. it's known what, what type of, of mux are all the scores and also the timing and so on. so the confection structured was very much the there. so it's one of 2 things. it's either a mistake or worse, but it was, it was not a, it was not the unintentional or it was the next. but when you, when you're saying this, beth, israel has killed the highest number of you when aid workers in the organizations history according to, according to them. so, is this part of a, some sort of pattern or strategy on behalf of the is released. i wouldn't quote this strategy, i'm not sure this, it just needs to have more investigation. um, it clearly has the international,
1:19 pm
the navigation. so the reputation will be even more solid than it than, than before, which was already in a very bad shape. but it's, i think, what is it, it's more a more, a culture of impunity intends on making these mistakes, getting that on people and then nothing happens in terms of the, the, the put thing, the ones who committed did this do a, uh, some sort of a tribunal, or even of some sort of accountability for, for, for these actions. look what sort of fall, nothing, and nothing has happened. the 4th, it continues as if it's a, it's not the major mistake or is it just bosses that's the end you were mentioning, international ramifications a moment ago. i wonder what you think those could be when you take into account? look, we heard from the us president joe biden, he said that he's quote, unquote, outraged by this talk. but then, as national security advisor spokesperson said, there was no evidence that israel was deliberately targeting the aid workers flying
1:20 pm
in the face of the video as well as an al jazeera investigation. so will there be any international or honest occasions when israel, the closest all over us, is taking this position so that our international notifications, but it's it that it's on a level now or even like political level, if, if there are a realtor in the future, shantrel it has to do with the, the, the m, o is the, the munition that has provided the weapons that are provided the, the air to ground missiles that are provided that on bombs that are provided. and just a few days ago, with the washington post had a whole report on the new batch of the weapons of the munitions that were provided, even after the uh, the, the, the holding of the v doing the secuity console by the us. su a real actions in terms of the, the, the policies that would affect that if the, the minute, the effort and the security behavior of is really in gaza is not there. it's not implemented, but the condemnations and rhetoric is cheap. you might as well thank you so much.
1:21 pm

1:34 pm
a long period of time. of course, the counter offensive that was little more weighted and had so much nato and western allies, money put towards it last year as long as you've described as a failure. so the ukrainians have really been feeling the pressure not only with respects to delays in that munition and weapons deliveries, but also with respect to manpower men and women prepared to fight on the front lines. and the mobilization issue continues to be contentious, controversial in parliament. there is another bill that is currently in its 2nd draw of the 1st draft was actually thrown out who was considered to be too controversial by a human rights groups. for example, that bill is now when it 2nd reading. having had what is on the students to be thousands of suggested amendments having to be made to it. we're expecting that 2nd reading in the next couple of weeks. i think this is something the signing into

on the facility in mid march, they found hundreds of workers and the evidence they're running scans. 7 middle managers were arrested, but the chinese owners remained large. the operation was triggered bets. it from a venue means employee who managed to escape and contact authorities. they the retail me for the cooking, the gym and that is not the chip. we just call the colors a and den available. look it up. and dylan who has from the leisure, says his friend sold him to the company. i just want to be safe. but when i visit, has not allowed to do. both of them say they were beat up when they couldn't make the monthly target of $40000.00, much like a workers of an online gambling site and many, let's say they were tortured in this room. it was also found to have been a prostitution 10. the site now serves as a detention center. human trafficking victims and employees are waiting deputation
1:39 pm
are housed here, a former online gaming compound, law enforcement officials rated it last year. it turned out to be the headquarters of a scamming and surprise. also run by chinese business meant the chinese online casino industry, locally known as the philippines. offshore gaming operators or pulse grew exponentially during the term of former president would be good to try to authorize. the chinese embassy says it's job is to protect us citizens, but it's also cooperating with philippine authorities. it's highly probable that the people, whereas fuel from 14 board, they just transferred to another photo. so we're creating a localized in d g nice scamming invested in the philippines. but it's a crisis of regional portions. the united nation says more than $200000.00 and may be trapped in scam operations in myanmar and come both the philippine government says hundreds are still illegally operating in the country in an industry. this
1:40 pm
generating billions of dollars in revenue each year. barnaby lo, alger 0 manila most, i'll speak to joshua james, he's the regional counselor at cyber crime coordinator with the united nations office on drugs and crime for southeast asia on the pacific. joining us from bank off, welcome to houses 0. good to have you with us. so we can see from the report by correspond to barnaby low that clearly there's a human cost to the story. how wide spread. busy is a trafficking when it comes to these legal online casinos. a full trafficking for criminal purposes is definitely on the rise, especially with more scam centers coming up as they become probable. exactly as was describing the philippines, philippines basically started by supporting the creation of these, these casinos and then those casinos were then abused for the online scamming and additional crimes that are coming up that, that we see now. so it's been
1:41 pm
a little bit of an evolution overtime. and luckily the so the government has see what's happening is responding quite strong to the situation. look according to the un itself. this is according to our report. last year it said that hundreds of thousands of people are being traffic by criminal gangs and being forced to work in such center as. but could this number, you know, this hundreds of thousands could actually be an underestimate, considering the, the, the practices under ground and human nature. um of course it's just an estimate and it does have to come up with a graph solve the unity see specifically has not confirmed those numbers. um, so the, the reports that we're seeing a $100000.00 is kind of integrative of, of the amount of travel that we see kind of going into the region. but it doesn't necessarily correlate 100 percent to the scam centers that we're seeing. because there's other types of, of crime going on at the same time. and these are transnational organized crime
1:42 pm
groups, right? so it's an organized crime group network essentially. and they're running many different types of crimes and endeavors, basically at the same time. and all of those require some type of human cap. so the, the amount of traffic is going on. we can just classify as only go into, let's say, scam centers. whenever there's an entire drugs network that's just been set up and fuels and kind of things for years. right. okay. um, but i just like to go back to the, the report by our correspond to barnaby. because he was really focusing on this issue of the legal, online casinos. what is behind the growth of these can cause he knows on the scam sensors and just like every with crime, it's really about profit, right? so these have become extremely profitable with the creation and have you have allusion of these casinos. you've had the infrastructure that was in place to move
1:43 pm
extremely large amount of money. sometimes it literally sometimes through through money laundering and those types of channels that i think the structure had already existed because of the casinos and legacy. those were running in the area. now, what they were looking for is a way to reach more on the strength. so online casinos developing and that makes major process, of course, in, in the region and globally, also with the rise of online casinos, more worryingly. and in my perspective is the rise of online scam groups right along with the teams. so what needs to be done to stop this meantime, individual countries solve this problem or is more, you know, more international cooperation is what's required here. if we're looking at the responses like what the philippines is doing, doing an excellent job trying to address the problem locally, but that you cannot solve this alone. so as soon as of one prime group and, and all of the infrastructure is removed. so say for one country,
1:44 pm
these crime groups because they are transnational and they're already established and there's already many different ways, longer and channels. they will just move your sections. so we have to consider the international response to this, and we are starting to see that for me, at least within the region where people are interested, more governments are interested and they're starting to come together to really start sharing information issue. this quick response is what we need in terms of international cooperation and that tired, and i'm just going to start for him now. all right, thank you so much. also trains thanks for speaking to us from michael as timelines constitutional court has agreed to hear a case seeking the dissolution of the opposition move forward. party is being seen as a blow to the popular anti establishment movements which has pushed for institutional reforms, including changes to the kingdoms royal defamation laws. the party created a major upset and last year as may election scoring the most votes. but it was
