do we exploit the the color, the styles, the attain? this is in use our line from the home coming up in the next 60 minutes. praying for peace, muslims and gaza, often impressed in the middle of destroyed homes and lost their will st. wanting the loss of family members killed and is really strikes on our refugee counts on central golf and well, water levels keep rising in southern russia and the west flooding in decades will have a live up days and south koreans word and upon an entry election with the rising cost of living and the health care crisis, the top of them, the

how we begin in gaza web hosting and muslims today mocking the end of ramadan worship as have gathered for ease of fit to pres, in the southern city of rafa present. as you can see, it has been held in the streets because it is rarely strikes have destroyed thousands of last. about one and a half 1000000. the space palestinians are currently sheltering in the city. the united nations has many wouldn't be able to celebrate because of the war and shortage of food. despite the holiday treaty is rarely ami has not paused. it's as strikes of an ice and attack on a residential talent. and the only satirist refuge account killed 14 people and central garza, my son, the victims with women and children. couple of whom has worn out from a med, this on 1st and then the destruction of most residential houses. of course, the terra 3 palestinians, all gathering here today to celebrate the arrival of aids of puts up and also to

perform the prayers of aids of books are in most few. i do need grief on sadness. they have used to welcome this event each year with ultimate happiness and rejoicing. but this year seems to be a complete extrude injury for the majority of constance who are right now, living an unprecedented deterioration of their humanitarian and find themselves conditions. we are completely right now here to share with you what the palestinians are rejoicing that trying to do the best to please the kids, the families by buying them. guests please them with does that, but right now the loan got to do so as the is very ongoing military offensive. when the golf district has changed, the majority of milestones, living, of course, the territory power cup as the algebra. russell, southern guns that hold on, occupies to loose and worship as that has gathered for in pres,

at the locks and last. confound a correspondent and one cons that a present now of a and it has been a subdued atlas that hit the lot. so most comp time just like the thousands of people that have actually come to visit. and there's 2 reasons for that. firstly, the restrictions you can probably just say the police over the they're checking the id of young man, the restrictions. all of this man over the age of 60 are allowed to come. women over the age of 50 are allowed to come. no one, very few people are either from the occupied westbank being allowed to come here. but still thousands of people have arrived. they've given the price and they've offered that price for the people of garza. that's the real reason that things also subdued here that the atlas van isn't like it would be normally people who are hoping for a c spy. that was supposed to be a drama on c spy. that sees why it didn't come to

a policy. those negotiations are still ongoing and the people that are hoping that that might be, that could be that hosting for a breakthrough in the coming days. everyone called out 0. yeah. like so most compound occupied east jerusalem. meanwhile, us president drove by that has leveled a new criticism that these really prime ministers policies on casa, in an interview, was an american spanish language for costa 5 and said that benjamin us and you know, who should call a safe spot. immediately. patrick, how has more for us from washington dc. i know this could be a very interesting comment from us president joe biden. he was doing an interview with univision, trying to show up with some of his support was latino voters where he has been lagging in his re election campaign. so there was mostly domestic questions, but there was one question on the. busy or in gaza, the reporter asked if the president believe that is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu was more concerned with political survival. then the interest of israel

now important perspective. this happened shortly after there was that attack that we know biden was outraged by on the world's federal kitchen staff. but so put that in context. and the question was asked for, as we know, was very angry in that moment. but here's what he had to say. so i think what he's doing is a mistake. i don't agree with his problem. i think it's how regis that goes for, for 3 vehicles were hit by and drones and taken out on the highway where it wasn't like it was along. the sure wasn't like, it was a con. we move here center. so i would i call it for is for the israel is to just call for a ceasefire. allow for the next $68.00 weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country. i have spoken with said removed from the saw these 2 dates are damian's to injections. they're prepared to move in,

are prepared to load this food in, and i think present vendor and there's no excuse to not provide for the medical and the, and the, and the food needs of those people they should be done. now, what could be important here is that you as president biden has always said that there should be a ceasefire in exchange for trading of the captives. now if you just misspeak, as he sometimes does, and then his doctor comes out and says, well, you didn't mean that it's not a change of policy. we'll know more on wednesday cuz we expect to hear from president binding himself of the press conference at. so we'll see if this is a change of policy, but he's definitely sending the message that he is angry with the way is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been conducting this for on gas particle, high algebra, washington. as well. it says more humanitarian a is entering gauze to move quickly, but the amount itself is being disputed. the united nations says it's still fall

below the minimum needed to meet people's basic needs. is there any with, are she say they've now allowed in more than $1200.00 trucks since sunday? if you look at the last 2 days, there's been a substantial increase in the amount of day going, because if that's good, it is not good enough. we would like to see more action following through on what the prime minister has announced publicly. and we'd like to see that over the course of the next few days. meanwhile, the spokes pass for the un secretary general confound that, no, it is entering cause of it says that distribution remains a challenge. there's been an uptick uh in the last uh, in the last 2 days. uh, but you know, the, the challenges, the challenges remain once they get through the crossing and i think we've been very clear on that there's, there's one thing which is counting trucks that are going through the crossing.

then there is the access to the for us to the point where all the goods in the trucks and not all the trucks that come through the crossing are full, right? uh, for security reasons, they can't all be full. so as, as i understand that they then have to be transferred to a smaller trucks and then we have to have the ability to distribute them. the challenges on the other side have not changed. i am the secretary of state and the bush as far as the secretary met in washington and to discuss the war both. and so me blinking and david cameron refuse to change their countries policies towards the shipping of owns to as well. despite we're in criticism, montana has moved from washington d. c. b u. s. secretary of state and is but there's counterparts made clear they share a common position on israel as war in gaza. they welcomed what they say are signs that israel is allowing more humanitarian aid to get into gaza. israel has made important commitments to significantly increase the supply the amount of trans

assistance throughout guys and is taking some initial actions as well. and both insist that there will be no change in the policy of shipping. alms to israel. opposition is in line with our international partners so far. know like minded countries have taken the decision to suspend existing tom's export licenses, israel, and i'd add that as well, remains the vital defense and security partner to the u. k. a cooperation makes the u. k. and israel more secure from external threats. a common belief to that how much this a stumbling block in achieving a ceasefire with no mention of any is really intransigence. the issue of gaza was also a point of type focus in the senate, where the secretary of defense appeared before the um services committee. to discuss his 2025 budget the session was interrupted by protesters,

some accusing israel of genocide. and the question was put directly by us, send it to israel, committing genocide and gaza center account. and i, we don't have any evidence of genocide being created. so that's a, that's a no, israel's not committing genocide and gaza, we don't have evidence of that. but others continue to mind israel's accountability . the department of defense and state department are currently assessing whether is real is in compliance with international humanitarian law. i consider myself friend of israel and by not separating the palestinian civilians from a moss. they are playing into a mouse is hands when you kill a civilian child. their parents are not going to be very sympathetic to the people that left that bomb booms. despite these concerns, the message on capital hill and in the state department are consistent. us support for israel were a main unconditional mike kinda, i'll just say,

or washington. well, let's bring in the last 3 years, the professor of the doha institute for graduate studies. it drains me here and uh huh. and how much is we've been hearing aids for goes up. weapons is route. it's felt like the rest of it has been shifting over the last few weeks perhaps. but has anything actually changed in practice when it comes to american old bridge foreign policy on garza? yeah, it looked like we took a step forward. i was here just a few days ago and i and i said that i was feeling less pessimistic. i'm back to feeling more pessimistic because it, it feels as though it's just more of the same, but nothing is really changing on the ground. and there's still a firm commitment on the part of the united states to support israel. it doesn't look like there's any sign of that support for lending. there are increased a trucks getting here and as you all have has been reported. but it's still wilfully insufficient. and the us is kind of using this as an opportunity to sort

of pad itself on the back and say look we've, we've done something. well there was also is out correspondent and ron was unfortunately there was hope that they wouldn't be a cease fire from a down from it on is now if nothing, yahoo says they will be around for offensive, but a date has been set. what, where does this go from here? it, while it goes where the united states wants it to go there, the question has been and still as to what extent is the us willing to use its leverage? to what extent is the us willing to put his foot down and pull the plug on all of this? and a couple of days ago, it looked like maybe the us was finally starting to feel the pressure and that the bindings administration was starting to feel the pressure in the aftermath of that attack on the, the aid workers. and also in light of some of the media reports from is really media showing how israel's conducting the war, the extent of the war crimes and so on and so forth. but as, as you all have been reporting there, there doesn't seem to be

a change on the ground. so at this point, i think it looks like, off invasion might be inevitable. you speak there about pressure on, on foreign actors the, the us that on multiple cases related to this conflict in front of the international court of justice. they was that security council resolution that the united nations. so we, we did see we have seen pressure building, what's your assessment of how the international system and the cycle rules based order that we've all come to know how that's holding up in the face of a contract right now. it's not holding up very well. it's looking like, uh, the rules. the rules based order is more or less a mess that are international law, only accounts for the powerful people for, for the powerful nations. the united states doesn't look like it's interested in following the rule of law or in ensuring that it's one of its closest allies. israel follows the rule of law and that's just the reality we can talk about the

details of that resolution. um, uh at the united nations and the security council. i actually think that that was, it was very watered down. i think it was just symbolic. it was p r i, but it didn't lead to anything tangible on the ground. and it was just used as a by the united states as, as like public relations. not stay with me because that does seem to be potential movement at the united nations on, on some other issues astray as foreign minister, penny wong is now saying our country is considering recognizing a palestinian state during a speech based training national university. she said that a 2 state solution is the only hope to break the cycle of violence. we enough so to use on from the oslo accords. so to use on from the quotes, the quotes have a student in stifles at the end of a process. and the family of this approach bio policies are the decades as well as the knitting yahoo governments, few refusal to even engage on the question of a palestinian state have caused widespread frustration. so the international

community is now considering the question, the palestinian statehood as a way of building the mentioned tools to start solutions. and what do you make of palestine as john says this time around? or it seems interesting, right? that we're talking about the 2 state solution number one, while there's a genocide ongoing, it seems as though that should be the priority stopping, stopping the genocide. i also want to draw everyone's attention to the fact that design is i'm is predicated on ethnic cleansing of the palestinians. the whole idea is for there to be greater israel, the land is supposed to be purified of the air presents all of the land is supposed to be for the jewish design, isn't, isn't parentally expansionist. and that's why is really leaders have worked for decades to systematically block the establishment of a potential establishment of a palestinian state. so until those problems are addressed, we're not going to have a viable palestinian state, especially not with nearly

a 150 illegal settlements. and about 700000 legal settlers and the last 3, it was great to speak to you on the news. our thank you for joining us next. as hostile times, the more i had to announce is there a fair vote for mister dawn on the despair of or is displaced in a contract for you and says, has creation the wild west refugee price and the potential japanese take care of. of us still faces growing on position from unions and apologize for the water levels are continuing to rise in southern russian euros and pots of siberia or seeing the west flooding the in decades. here there's a lot of our reports from the city of august. the boats and the streets instead of calls and pedestrians empty houses and shops. the city of ols along with many of

the settlements and rushes or in the region facing severe flooding, imagines the services please. and the ami a working non stop to evacuate people. they have no problem. i have seen that both on us realized probably the most active work was carried out in the 1st days of ours, of the high waters. most people did not believe that it was a real transfer from the water began entering houses and reaching waste deep level . people began to where we want the worst of the flooding and all the lease to have boxed but the situation remains diet. this is what the streets of the city of oscar looks like right now. it's only taking a few hours to turn the citrus trees into canals, grim and isolated. so as the late stage of the q ation is not, of these imagines decruz are returning to the affected areas to deliver a to those still here and collect documents will enclose and medicines for those if

actuated many residents in these apartment blocks tries to stay in the homes, despite having no electricity, gas or clean drinking goals. so just somebody bearing, if he wants to, people's person needs are water and batteries. we bring power banks so that people can charge their phones and are able to call the rescue service senior. we are the mom, we walk as a theme. one risk you are is not at a school. we are all was one of those houses has been destroyed by volta, i think taken to the temporary accommodation senses like this one. it's been such happiness cool. while students study remotely due to the flooding, i'm putting in the look what are they received as well here and gave us everything for how's day they feed as full times a day. and it's also so clean. here is a source, he's a promising to issue one time payments for those affected as well as a compensation for damages which are still to any to assess. but for many the future seems to be very unsettled. you there shall bob oliver ultra 0 for lasha

where we can now speak to you really. she joins us live from the russian city of arden bag this morning. usually there was a loss of anger initially directed at the government response reasons or protests. have those issues now been addressed? well, yes, that's right. so as i mentioned in my report, all source have indeed sa says a showing one time payments for those effects. it end up for missing compensation is for damages, but the damages that's sold to be accessed. it will take time, of course, right now we're witnessing the p called the disaster here in the or in by region. but you are right. people express a lot of discontent. we even saw protests in the city of or especially in the west affected a city of or people that say it will be impossible to compensate the damage with the promised sums of money. and despite the woods by the head of the rushes,

imagines has ministry. at the hands of the rushes imagines his ministry, that they had wound the population about the floods, people and all say they didn't receive any text messages and will absolutely unaware. at the same time, we spoke with people here in oregon bug and they say that they did receive text messages with the was a warning unit. there were also concerns. i understand that they might be moved, flooding to come, given me the amount of snow that's melting and that's about potentially costing gold is as well. yeah, right now, as i mentioned to we're working in the say to or in bug a is the regional center for the over in bug region and southern euros, which a boat is context on and the situation with the floods here it's here we are raising the suitcase preparing for high voices to arrive. we see some sort of, well, we see is true if a curation f as by emergency services right. now i'm also that trying to wrecked

some sort of buns to protects summit, residential buildings which surround me and the waters arriving. you can see that in a very close proximity to the residential buildings. so the water level in the ural rebate here in oregon buck rose to the 9 meters as one to stand. but the day before we of course visited the 2nd largest and the worst hit safety of force in the region and the level of the euro. a river in aust. i'm the the, the level that has full and so as a klein and then the will to level was recorded actually enforcing supplements in the or in the region. but because of the situation remains quite critical. so basically the c 204 and 5 is waiting for move also to arrive and

these were some floods in russia. and while they say that these are the largest floods in the last 70, yes. and also dislodging is threatening the neighboring regions as well, like the region of crew gun and the region of 2 men. and even even as the neighboring cossacks done. but so source you say that going to work together with cause ok. oh, source sees and a going to control the release of will. so in some parts of the euro revise. so we're going to wait to see how it's going to work here. there's a lot of other on the ground for us and some of the west hidden regions of those floods in arm back in russia today. thanks for your. yeah. as well as really was just saying and neighboring causes external. the 96000 people have now been moved to safety. 8 regions near the earl and total rivers already some matched with ours . you use say that water levels rose mitch's and a knife of allens, nearly 70 residential areas remain cut off from the rest of the country.

vs and south korea and choosing 300 national assembly representatives, empowerment for elections. this words is seen as a mid term referendum of thoughts on president is doing so, fuels administration, his approval ratings. while i'm going into the polls. soaring food prices and a health care crisis caused by a dr. strikes are among some of the biggest issues for versus well that speak to you and it's kim, she's out of paulding station for us in the capitol. so here's how things living. there was a version blitzer fall this morning of the site. it has a that's where it we're in the final hours of this problem. interior election. that's been ongoing since 6 this morning. we're already we're still seeing stragglers orders coming through. now. this is a race closely watched, not only by the political parties bought the presidential office, which really has been scrambling in the weeks leading up to today to address some of those issues. cost of living. rising food prices a case in point,

the price of apples have spiked 590 percent on year on the back of bad harvest last year. and start watching this closely because we are a made a very polarizing political climate and capacitance. people power party needs to take back the national assembly in order to pass some of his policies in the remaining 3 years. but momentum is also on the opposition side, fueled by the frustrations of the people over the past 2 years. case in point is the support that's really galvanized behind this brand new minor party, which has one single platform. and that is to make the president a lame duck president. we should also note that this is the 1st problem entry election in which older voters, those between the ages of 60 and i have exceeded in number 2 younger of voters. so $1618.39 south pre obviously is one of the fastest aging

countries in the world with its for to the rate really plummeting faster than even experts here have predicted. so the implications of that on the minds of many voters today as well. and it will be interesting to see how these voted when the ballots are couches later. indeed, and as units was just saying, posting close at 1800 local silence, just or even 19 minutes from now we'll be staying across the story for you here without a 0. for now eunice came that and soul. thank you. well, that's bringing your chip on. he's a research fellow and young se universities institute single career studies. he joins us now from the capital, sol adoptable, as we were saying, this is an election to the national assembly, not the president, but it is also very much a public statement on how he's doing. i see the president gives approval raising has been dropping for months right presently is on, you know, so popular writing has been hovering on the $0.44, which is very low compared to the popular writings of his predecessors. so

this national assembly election, although it's a problem of attorney and representative, the election serves as a function of mid term election. uh, 4 of which share the voters has an opportunity to express their grievances and support of the 5 year term of the present. i'll, we'll be ending with face. so national assembly, a little speaking of grievances i, i know economic issues have been at the forefront versus mine's, and the president i understand, is viewed as being a little out of touch, especially with the corruption scandals to involving his family. yes, out of the, to the queue or that that's as far as the present as office because he has nothing really forthcoming with regards to a lot of the controversies that scanned us. uh, you know, some of which involved the 1st lady and her family member. so although she was elected writing on the election platform that has a life, some prosecutor, she was

a refers on 10 champion fairness and so space in the presence of sight and follow the dates. she's practice for the past 2 years since he's out, you know, the ration as a prison has been rather disappointing to the majority. doctor motors, i say to the price of spring on ends to prominence. and this campaign is that reflective of a broad, a feeling there about inflation? yes. out of touch and disconnect. i have in, uh why the, regarding the as a defining terms for the president. uh, so the best tool for the moving party peoples file party use to secure the absolute majority sits in the holly amount, which is 151 out of 365. so it seems like it is. uh rather this. so our goal is to be met. so does this then mean that there is the space fence and much smaller parties to make gains the selection?

right. um, well the most of the 2 parties, so the pvp and i'll place you on potty potty is likely to continue. but it's the. busy of the sits between the 2 of them and them parties. we're not print then the absolute advantage to either side. then the small, my, you know, a minor parties will be playing a significant role in the years to come because they will serve as us mean, both young shape on that research feller at your own, say, university's institute for north korean studies. thank you for sharing your thoughts and expertise with us. allows us there are some as hostile a heavier here on the 0. the different logic for log continues. mexico says it will file a case with the international court of justice after police rated it's embassy in ecuador. aging is working hard to increase confidence and it's slowing economy plus a port add port. beautiful is on the measures that china is taking to attract

foreign investments. the address in time for your weather update across the america is good to see you. so here's what's going on. cool air. out of the south flooding into the river, play terrace. that bumps into a warmer air, it's producing a line of showers and storms, especially in paraguay, including its capital assault. see on. but this cool southerly wind is here to stay in montevideo, 1716, then the wind shifts easterly so your temperature will come up a bit. but this is well below where you should be for this some your big downforce through brazil's amazon estate that will impact him and that was 33 degrees for you on wednesday in central america. not much to report. most of the action is in the gulf of mexico. so let's go there. hot, humid air is coming in off the gulf of mexico into the southern us. so flood alerts

issue from texas, louisiana, mississippi, arkansas dark, the blue and the yellow. the more intensive spring is that we could see a few tornadoes mixed in there as well. beautiful conditions, though, for the west coast. los angeles, 29, maybe 30 degrees for you on wednesday, looking good across a be see south coast, the canadian prairies and around the great lakes. we've got sun poking out here. so toronto is at 18. but with adult day in new york, maybe a few showers. it's going to put a cap on your temperature, just 13 degrees and 12 degrees in boston. see you soon. the as pain and just closer to recognizing it palestinian state prime minister pedro sanchez, is that the forefront calling for israel 2 respects international humanitarian law . what i can tell you is that the situation on the ground is thought acceptable as an immediate cease firing. garza, there's an urgency to stop this terrible war and to open

a new phase of stability. peace precipitating the region. the spanish prime minister talks to l. g 01, the average person to know what the truth was. scientists dismissed as profits of do. we knew where the temperature was going to go by lead is seeking the profits of industry. they were publishing reports saying this is not an urgent problem. could we have changed the course of the climate to much in this area, which is here as new series died. last futures in the the

full command you're watching out of here on that's reminded on top stories. the sound, thousands of thousands of celebration is all fits or with pres at the out some of the compound and occupied extortion and gaza press all the house on the streets a rough time because this really strikes have destroyed itself. and despite the holiday, and these really only has not forced, it's as strides on calls on an attack on a residential talent. and we all understand what questions you attempt to kill 13 people. first of the victims for women and children who as president, try 5. meanwhile, his levels, new criticism as rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu, in an interview with the us pulled costa, he said that israel's actions and gaza are in the states and nationally on here's the coolest thing spot. the whole, the certainly is only on the permanent 3 rapids support forces have now been fighting for almost a year. the contract has kills more than $12000.00 sudanese,

causing widespread devastation food shortages under refugee crisis. moving 10000000 children in the country have been living even in an active was, i know dangerously close to the fighting. have a moving reports not from got a risk in eastern, so don't a what's used to be a school classroom is now home to death for the and her family. they fled here to duka and go out of state 3 months to go after the parent, military rapids support forces or r s f took over, wouldn't make any states capital of to the, to the sounds of the word on the road, a lot of explosions and we were at a fruit this day. we got into a wood car to leave baton out of fuel and have to stay out in the open for days. there was no food, no water insects, because it took us many days to get out of the state and to don't go. dozens of other families have also thoughts refuge in this school. one of many in the states turned into sensors for displaced people. some came from the capital hard to win.

the battle for control of sudan started a year ago between the city news army and the rest half to the united nations says at least 20 percent of the population has been displaced within the complete borders. another 1500000 people are refugees in neighboring countries, making this the largest displacement crisis in the world. for a 1000000 of those displace our children the most in any country. among them are what about they could a song and they were forced to leave her to during the 1st days of the conflict. her eldest son had to drop out of school. as a result. he keeps talking about his friends who live in the same neighborhood. we used to live in and why they got the chance to finish their school year before the war started. but he didn't. they wrote out a cartoon, was tough, and we didn't have food. the children kept crying, and he kept asking when he's going to finish the school year. the us refugee agency

says the needs of the displaced are huge, but there's little the response to the international appeal for help. but it's in with a very limited for and not young. uh huh. resources we continue to provide the protection and basic assistance to the id piece affected by a population, but also the to the house. uh, community. uh, we also hope that the, with the doing our support will be able to do more. we are aware of what we are providing that really doesn't want to match with the actual needs. they just says what you really need is to be able to return to her home. but the 2nd year of fighting has begun and there's no ends inside to the conflict or too many. so denise, reclaiming what they lost any time soon. he but morgan, alta 0, the body of eastern, so down around, supremely, the company has led aid presenter on hughes to speech, to quote,

for retaliation against israel for its attack on the rain inconsiderate building in syria. see me a minute to come on his account and not attack on april fast enough and will not speak to a correspondent also jabari. she's in your brand new capitol tower on for us. there was a assuming a declaration of vengeance on this religious holiday that certainly anastasio the supreme leader a use that the occasion to deliver accusations, threats, and warnings to israel. ali harmony as spoke with solemn aust, care in her on the following each prayers. and she use the opportunity to highlights 2 crimes. he said that has been committed by israeli forces and officials. he said that the blood shed, the continued over the holy month of ramadan, has left a bitter need for muslims around the world. he also said that the western countries not only have not done anything to stop the massacre of thousands, but they both so aided the occupying power. and the 2nd crime he accused israel of

was the strike that was carried out in damascus on april 1st, which killed 7 revolutionary guard officials. he had the following to say on that. the bees a still book at the wicked zion, this regime made another mistake. and staged in an attack on the wrong consulate, which means that attack on the country's soil, a violation of international normal, it made a mistake and the regime needs to be punished and will be punished very. so the question now is a clearly iran has to respond when and how remains to be seen. but the commander in chief of the countries on force has made it very clear that israel has attacked error on, on its own soil by that strike in damascus on april. first, we're waiting to see how and when iran will respond, that is no longer a question of if, but rather when joseph jabari, there was a racist for us from tyrone the thank you to answer least 5 people have been killed
