7:31 am
any way they can. even if we have an umbrella, the heat hits us in our faces. thousands of schools across the philippines suspended clauses earlier this month or switched to online learning due to the scorching heat. the annual dry season has already started in some provinces in indonesia, which can result in more intense heat due to reduced cloud cover. side to say this month's extreme heat is partly due to the 2nd year of the all new weather phenomena, as well as climate change apart on january for a variety model. so i looked at the, this was the hottest 3 months in 100 years of old duration shows that this year is likely to reach the hardest global temperature in history. and it's likely this april will be the hottest on record to in thailand's daniel. so i'm trying to avoid a festival over the weekend that was high temperatures in the traditional way. the time ministry of public health warns that temperatures in many areas

a said to exceed 40 degrees celsius. unicef ones that high temperatures and humidity this month could put children as serious risk of heat related illnesses, including breathing problems and cardiovascular. second, vietnam, most of my taxi right is like millions around to region, no choice but to work outdoors all day long. i don't, i don't know. i spend a lot of time out on the street and this hot weather is hurting beating. i have to say the huge isn't likely to continue for weeks. jessica washington to 0 to comes in. well that's it from me down. jordan for now the bottom line is next slide to thanks for watching the . these are some of the 1st images from the aerial assessment of co bleaching in
7:33 am
the great barrier reef. bleaching occurs by movement ocean temperatures and pollution force call to expel the algae to get the color range of color. at extreme marine wise over an extended period of time means some structures to bring severely damaged. scientists have declared 2020 full a mass bleaching event. what's happening here on the great fire roof is also happening on rapes around the world. or the last 12 months, warming sea surface temperatures have caused bleaching events in the northern hemisphere and the l in your conditions in the pacific have amplified the situation . marine biologist, jodi rama says ocean temperatures are increasing at a rate never seen before. and that's all been assigned to the biggest crow system in the world. we're seeing this back to back here upon year. the reef needs many years to recover from these heat waves and it's just not getting it a hi. i'm steve clements and i have a question. is an arms embargo and sanctions on israel?
7:34 am
the only way to prevent a genocide in gaza? let's get to the bottom line. the after her figure of continuous bombing is really veto, say they are still far from stopping the war and gaza. israel's allies say it's a legitimate war because israel space is a threat from hamas and is acting in self defense. but international law experts say something different, they say nothing justifies what's been going on. whether it's israel's killing of so many innocent people, it's use of food as a weapon of war, or the destination of all civilian life and gaza. no schools, no homes assume no hospitals. so what can be done to stop the death and destruction and what damage is being done to the credibility and legitimacy of international law itself. the longer this work goes on today we're talking with francesca alban a say the you in special rapids or on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory occupied since 1967 francesca. thank you so much for joining
7:35 am
us today. i am looking forward to this conversation. look, you are recently presenting your report at the un human rights council. and you stated that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide has been met. and you called for an arms embargo on israel. can you go into greater detail about what that threshold is? absolutely, and thanks for having me. uh, i've been in the study what has happened in gaza into godsa for the past 5 months, or 5 months? a. and i didn't start this investigation thinking that i would conclude that israel has committed the crime of genocide or acts of genocide which eventually i couldn't do otherwise. he goes for civil. i've studied the fact that it's really forces have committed mosque,
7:36 am
healing must infliction of the physical and boldly harm where it extend prevention of this and the creation of pollution steps lead to no other outcome then destruction. and this in the english should be good to civil life in gossip and nice thing which in all these goes to jude the genocide of ox is supported by the tend to destroy the people in the, in fluid part and a phone dissing 10. no telling me as it had already been, i'm pretty documented by the sounds top because we got a team of the board, the international court of justice a couple of months ago. uh, through the order of statements that had been made by people with the commander for a nice, strong political and media type years, but also emerging from the conduct of soldiers on the ground to ad
7:37 am
internalized of sold and acted upon those words. those orders of like the cool, that they give a cation of why my back go on my leg disagree, destroyed all the comic, including women and children. or there are no innocent people in the whole. we have to wear advocate to everyone who's on us. and eventually, why don't you seeing this into this as soon as they're buried under actions old soldiers infantry on the ground. those who have bonded and destroyed is that is that the guys asked to be getting for structure. um, but what is the most important finding in my board is what i call they you money, not income slash of israel's genocide. the logic, i argue that the student has not denied will the will these,
7:38 am
the community and getting them off destruction because just justified as equals alliance with the international humanities. how, you know, for example, the use of human shields. he's trying to has used the human shoes as a, as a concept that can be expanded. i didn't see need to. so every one was that was that was considered a human shields. but this has been done by he's running previous words in 2008 doesn't what doesn't put the 2020 to 2026. any that's being demonstrate that either a fabrication or an excuse in the sun was no different every time the, the national one. you don't know the concepts of the machines these use is to begin . let's face it. you know, as the buying power. you kind of us a fucking go the deal every one and say, well, the way you and shields, cuz it's also, if you were by the constant not, are you my design concept? she's collateral down much international you wanting to know is not this project.
7:39 am
if it does, routine is just you owe it to truth to prevent the most violent defects of war and protect those who are not involved in conflict, which is not spared any one in discovering the patient. right? anything else being could see the clock, the hutch, and also evaluation orders, safe zones warning. so all of these language has been used come flash, the genocide of the logic of the destruction that he set up. that has led to this page to francesca. what does it say about the state and the solvency of international law today? i am very impressed that you presented your report that you've had on both critics, particularly the us state department, but also those that have applauded your bravery at this moment. but do you believe that your findings will be act up, acted upon that you believe that the mechanisms within the united nations and
7:40 am
within the institutions of international law are going to create real penalties for israel right now? or is this any road where we see any rose and of international law by the failure to act? there is no question that we also see in your ocean all the capacity or international to be enforced. or you can say some that true that international law without the this trends of political will, is uh, like that letter. but it only takes that um, freedom service from the needs and the constraints of international law can be criminal and this is within today. so there is an erosion and all the international law says the multilateral system that does not allow me to, to have any, any realistic for cost because i do see the impact of my work and my record,
7:41 am
let's look at this genocide, the anatomy of a genocide. report a few days after i presented every board, the members of the human rights comes to pass the resolution and i've come to be that inserted specific language that i address in iris and bar go on a 0. none of the less uh, who's going to enforce that. it mean it is, it is important at the top of those align with that there's also being a resolution of the security council asking for assist fire there being several provision on measures single mended findings, initial court of justice. and those for legion on measures are offering our binding on every watch. so the fact of the neglecting be sort a guardian or over 3 by an agent international law only weakens the system because
7:42 am
creates precedents for, for others to really get what culpability do nations have that supply is real. with the weapons it's using slippery has a report out saying that basically over the last decade or so, germany so supplied almost 30 percent of israel's weapons. united states about 66 percent of israel's weapons. what's your view about the the culpability of other parties in this um, well the says, oh, the complexities there because the genocide convention is very here in the beach. any form of the aiding and abetting of the conduct of states that might be committing genocide to providing for weapons that likely to be used in the, in the car in to see that is the threat. so you can to genocide there might be seen
7:43 am
as consistency to move and that it's key or did there is this race, there is the i c, j, a telling state excuse me to day go measures uh possible steps to make sure that the general side is prevented me those measures are no thinking but also steps to continue to view. will that kid assigned those boxes? are they getting? well, i think that you need to 80 today. i suppose this is all complete to be to be very, very real. i guess it makes me ask the question about how, how jaded we have become to these kinds of conflicts and to the moral questions involved. and you've been in the middle of a storm. but i'd be interested in your perspective on the rest of us that are watching this and what our responsibility is to better document and highlight these
7:44 am
moral moments. not just when a celebrity ships, workers are killed, but everyone else that's killed and has been dying along the way. look, i mean the king of all the 7 age workers of the darkness, c, w. d surety, a tragedy? there is no. any crime. there's no question about this, but it's a somebody in fox, so all of the very complex intra gaited criminal seeing, would check with and describe otherwise. and then and in general, sorry the in the men said we'd mother mean settings and methods or was there. so it's interesting that the fact all but as being international here, the bruce pension back on the unit and no one is safe things outside including you . money, knowing workers, there are all there 190 you mind. i am workers with you guys off in the past 6
7:45 am
months alone, 175 of them are. you had some members to and the pumps and then there are no many foreigners there us created this sort of on the bottom you have any, any visitor odyssey yet, but they are kind of stands academics, lawyers, human rights defenders, jordan and assigned to 13000 children i mean, it's the, it's so brutally simone strew, said i, i really, i mean, i probably have given the 100 interviews by now in the studio every time i've, i see how many children have died in the scar need something it's, i need the brakes because the normal should, oh, we don't get the we mean some of us don't get used to these, but i do recognize this one's gonna be mobile is some of wasted society. just this is because we are, we have 3 minutes to time and it doesn't match us,
7:46 am
which speaks of our humanity because, you know, i mean, i've also been said it's just a moment where i knew i should either way under the big, over the pre, the ledge and their own comfort so that someone else doesn't have to renounce it all. and we are still, we are still there. and with this we'd be spy. it's essential size itself. so if you're a real expert on genocide and have studied other genocides as we know if you report boss in the, in the 1990 is the wrong thing. yeah, in myanmar i'm reminded that 30 years ago about 30 years ago, the rwanda genocide against truancies took place. and when you go, when i've looked into the rwanda genocide, i was surprised that the systematic planning that had previously occurred before that date on april 7th, when that started. and then i was disturbed greatly by the slowness of global reaction, a bureaucratic reaction. and even if the united nations with united nations had
7:47 am
been been warned and told in advance of what was happening, un gave instructions not to do anything. i'm interested in that element of how this particular act in is real guys that compares to those it does indeed does know in the sense that in many respect i've learned it through the past mom. so, so digging into a genocidal or a genocide related nature of that genocide is never come. so sunny that you never it. so it's an insult to now it's a process. so it's not just the act of cheating, the act of killing gaming to destroy a population. and there we're riding on the walls, so to speak in the case. so the relationship between each running the policy to disrespect probably it's not different for delivery. we'll see you on a nation,
7:48 am
the rule that as an for me to the political spear and then the kind did all that the media as lead to is significant in for training or given narrative. but to hear the districts. ringback i mean this genocide us the legal 0 . so i think that's obviously said is the 1st that is documented by the seats and she asked it didn't be all the time. this is fine to me. so there was not the month delay. ready between your current and so the general side and the and the act of the realization of each of the level of public opinion. so it's yes . what do you said? it's sure that you, when we're unable to prevent the genocide in rwanda, there you, when we are unable to prevent the jones, i pretty much anywhere including the in the, in myanmar ending uh,
7:49 am
was there 0 be know, meeting all be have another cases but not, not this one for sure. and what is shocking is that in dispatch, with your case, that i've seen that there's the huh cation of is re these political rectory. the justification of the word is essential, subsidized, represented by the bodies being, is the being. the fact that this was the time to send music, i thought, well, i mean the sounds i'm just a minute you sentiment, but they don't think that the hatred, the ma, my had few were. the effects of this is ready to be is generated by up to some it is, there is no evidence. so we rather, there is evidence of the country that they have reacted against israel as little to buying power. and as an upper side state, which doesn't justify the crimes of course, but understands the call of hips understandable. the and so, and there is be also in the role of western media in sort of sizing the
7:50 am
language and still keep on doing that with the, the, the 1000 policy and 270000. missing probably are then under durable, just you know, took the people talking, oh find main moving on god. so when this is a man made starvation, it's intentional because the and so every become faster fee as a, as in sort of and those are in, in gaps, off and there is not enough integrity and more cool world storage. so the nonsense to the state department? yeah. states department smoothman. matthew miller kind of attacked you and said, united states did not support your appointment, said that you characterize some of your comments as an anti semitic. in this, i've been trying to sort of navigate what is a more constructive stance and engagement strategy for the united states and this
7:51 am
then what we've been seeing and what do you do given the kind of statements that we heard from matt miller about your work? yep, i found, i found the us spokespersons phone minutes about me. so obviously predictable for someone who doesn't have arguments and even these, you know, if the body language was selling, i don't know what to say, so let me blame her because it's super convenience. this is our read this and so, i mean, he's been driving, he's been completely lambasted in social media. he's received the letters in the request or for resignation by many years, including authority off, or that the reading to maxwell into scholars. and so, you know, it speaks for itself and is the usual the usual read 3 of throwing
7:52 am
delegations of anti semitism as anyone there's 3 designs. these are a rock is do i have the time to engage with this? find all the behavior? no, i don't. at the same time, at the same time, the fact that he asked for my for my us of the show by the way it will be, shall go to them. it was providing whitford said, it's probably going to be found on police. it's not trusted. the crimes, you know, it's wrong. who knows. but the fact that such a statement comes from us will be show, is this packaging because he has no idea of depression. clearly he has no idea of the pressure that this monday is on there also because of the lies for billed by people like he and um and i have no means really no means to make sure that every everything is controlled because what can i,
7:53 am
what can i do to protect myself, the number of steps, the number of a taxi b c has increased. how do i navigate what the city is from? what is no. did you take one insane person to activate that? make any sense of defense whiskers, of people from an a central grants that might be identified in me. you see what i mean? right? so well, let me ask you. finally, one of the other things we saw was after concerned that a few employees had been complicit with from us in on rush and, and the united states and many other nations suspended support and wrong. and for those who don't know and route has this incredibly large footprint in social services throughout palestine and in other parts of the region as well as supporting refugees in, in jordan and syria, etc. and i'm interested in whether the failure of the united states in germany,
7:54 am
in particular, to reverse their views on your own. right. which is, which is i look at, it's gotta be a vital part of like that, that the next palestine, whatever it is, how you see that at the moment, many of the european nations that originally joined, that boy caught, have sense reversed themselves. and i'm interested in from an, again, an international law perspective. is there some complicity or some crime in not supporting the you and institution inactivity that delivers most aids sustenance, medical supplies, schooling, etc, you name it within palestine. hm. yeah, i think there is, uh, there is margin to investigate because the city of sold the responsibility of these rel, in trying to destroy henri, which is the only agency, was the capacity to the lever. a, you know, sort of organized manner. in today i succeeded population garza,
7:55 am
the reason why the w a c k was very, very strong. the c is one of the effects of these drugs continues the attack on a box on the on on law which has to be non p 5. the guy member states was your responsibility suspended their funding of ages of the the, their funding to the agency on the basis of allegations from the states has a track record of lies after nice of the nice. but even if the indignation square and law had already terminated to stops members against due process just for the the condition of the agency. but what was the responsibility of the agency? why she would have the agency? why should have the agency responded? all the ok, so o some individuals. where was the count? how did you next?
7:56 am
so it was, it was completely nonsense ago i need to respond to people. the more as this decision to suspend from the to i was thinking today after the international court of justice and the issue, they really 9 distribution on measures asking for on fit 30 my and are you an age which today would only be delivered by on russell yes, of course, there were some wonderful pieces. well, this and this has been a sobering conversation, but we'll have to leave it there. francesca l been a z u n. special wrap our tour on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory occupied since 1967. thank you for sharing your thoughts with us today. thank you. so what's the bottom line? i need to admit that when it comes to the gaza strip, the bottom line is increasingly just difficult to see on the surface, israel seems willing to continue this war and has enough support to brush off calls
7:57 am
proceeds, fire the destruction of massive amounts of causes, educational institutions, it's health care system, it's private businesses, culture and residential life. just don't align with the stated objective of just going after hom, us under us pressure that finally seem to click in israel is letting in more a trucks. but it's clearly not doing so because the international court of justice warrant that it shouldn't do so and shouldn't do so immediately. back in january. none of the major factors that have led to the killing of 33000 palestinians, a massive proportion of whom are innocent, children, women, and men are changed. there are no red lines, and morality isn't a factor. the bottom line is that there is no bottom line until israel's onslaught ends. maybe then a reckoning will begin. and that sadly is the bottom line. the
7:58 am
. the latest news, as it breaks around, han has given a cause that people have just come out in large numbers. the guys are not as popular to the board with detailed coverage, but the reason prices and the realization that things are likely to get much worse before they get better describing some residents to the brain from around the world . people have told us the circumstances, even more important than usual, to come together to share what they feel they have. power defines how well we live. here we make the rule, not the people empower, investigate, expose this and question the youth and the business of our around the go on out just there. okay. foundation is deliberate over $300000000.00. will suffice. emboldened $75.00 countries around the world, 100 percent of sec, thoughts and emergency donation spence on projects. and we ensure beneficiaries
7:59 am
come 1st of a 300 on luis, haven't had gone through the bumps the crossing in recent months. our most of these bless and be blessed and we all turning your donations into direct delivery in the shortest possible time donates with confidence. the
8:00 am
the the at least 40 palestinians have been killed including many children. and it's right and strikes across the gauze and strength in the last 24 hours. the other ones are in jordan, this is obviously real life and don't also have come down probably spending as monk prisoners, de medic doubled the number of prisoners and it's very detailed. and before the war, many report torture abuse of human rights father the.
