this is concerning, had nothing to do with the past, and people and everything to do with its objectives, to destroy as well. so, so making sure that i'm off can not repeat the events of october 7th. that's something that we uh, where you're not united, but in terms of major military operations in, in, in rafa it's something that we don't support and we believe that the objective can be achieved by other means. we've been engaged in conversations at senior levels with israel over the past couple of weeks on this, including as recently as this week. those conversations continue. finally, on the web security council resolution. first, we are committed to united states has committed to achieving capacity of state. we believe that that is vital to having long term sustainable durable peace and security and of course is the only way to fulfill the aspirations, the rightful aspirations of the palestine. people. but getting to that achieving

that state has to be done through diplomacy, not through imposition. and the resolution that was ordered at the security council will have no effect on actually moving things forward and achieving a palestinian state. again, that can only be accomplished by diplomatic means. it's also important to, to point this out under, under united states law, even if we'd want it to vote for this resolution. had we done so under our law would have obligated us to cut off all of our funding to the united nations. clearly not in the interest of anyone, including the palestinians, particularly given the contributions we make to programs that are vital to them. but as i said, we're committed to working to achieve a palestinian state with unnecessary guarantees for his real security. and we've been working on that, including as part of a potential normalization process between israel and saudi arabia. something that we've intentionally engaged on over the last several months and,

and weeks. so you can see a unimportant pat, ford that fits there. and in fact, we saw it in the wake of the unprecedented iranian this act on israel. you can see for his real a future where a coalition of the countries are working together, working together to deal with the iranian threat and to isolated with israel. that's integrated into the region with normal relations with its neighbors, and a resolution to the policy in question which is necessary to really deep room and, and achieve that goal issue. and that's an incredibly powerful future. it answers what is real as long sought, which is to have normal relations throughout the region. it deals with the single biggest threat to israel security and for that matter, to the security of most countries in the region. and are all which is iran. and it's proxies but to get there,

it's going to require common garza and it's going to require a clear pathway to a palestinian state. so we see that as one of the best place to actually achieve results. so again, you can put something down on a piece of paper and wave it around. it has no effect. what does and can have an effect is actual diplomacy working to achieve these agreements and then deliver in concrete results. that's what we're focused on. finally, i would say this also take a look at the g 7 statement today, which shows uh, which shows unity on this question. it says that there is going to be a proper time, a rightful time for recognition. this is not that time, we need to do the diplomacy. we need to do the hard work to bring the parties together to bring the region together. and to demonstrate that there's

a much better future that awaits everyone if they follow this path. and for the final question, jessica parker with bbc. i think you just called the bbc news. i'm fucking fast ask why. when you address events that have happened david night is and it's important that you do so can you tell us if you've spoken to you is really counterparts. and i'm interested to know how you would characterize the us israel relationship right now. and if i can on ukraine as well, hope so obviously rising. the us may pos, this $60000000000.00 a package, a full ukraine. but given the amount of time it's taken, given the situation and crane is it coming to light? so i'm going to be incredibly boring and not make your day by saying again, i'm not going to speak to what's been reported other than to say that the united

states has not been involved in any offensive operations. the united states, along with our partners, will continue to work for the escalation on you. frank. most important thing is getting this a voted and moving it forward. and it will, i know, make a profound difference and they can found difference almost right away in making sure that you train has what it needs to defend itself effectively against the ongoing rush reduction. no. is it too late? no, if it happens now, it's not too late. if it doesn't happen or takes a lot more time, there is a real risk said yes, it will be too late and you've heard other speak to it, including the secretary defense. now, would it have been, would it be better if that aid had had been voted months ago? absolutely. but in terms of meeting you ukraine's urgent needs, it's incredibly timely to get it done right away this weekend as

a so i'm convinced and all of our experts are convinced that it can and will make a usually important material difference in the success of ukraine's defense and the success in repelling the russian aggression. but if this um, if this continues to linger? yes, there is a, there is a real risk that we'll get to a point where it's simply to like um, we uh are engaged on a regular pretty much daily basis. and we're committed to helping as real defend itself as necessary, participating in its defense as you saw just a few days ago. and you saw not only from us but from a number of other countries. again, israel makes its own decisions, but we have a commitment to defending it. and you saw an unprecedented attack from or on into

israel and the united states and other is working. but as well to make sure that that attack would not have a devastating consequences. and thankfully, it did not, but on all of these issues, whether it's relationship with the wrong, whether it's the conflict in gaza, whether it's loving on you name it. we're in concert engaged with israel just as run costs, engagement with allies in partners throughout the region. and around the world, this is a collective effort to try to manage the, the conflict in um, in the middle east to bring the, the conflict and gaza to a close, to achieve a ceasefire and a release of hostages. and by the way, a number of other countries around the table today also have hostages in um, in guys if i am us and other than other and other groups. and it's also important to really have to remember because i sometimes think that people have forgotten

this. we have them american hostages, american hostages, who been held in the most deplorable conditions all of this time. so all of us are working on all of these issues and what's so important and what's reflected in the g 7 statement is we're doing it together. and my belief is that our collective influence are collected. diplomacy can make a real difference 1st of all and ending the the conflict in gaza, ensuring that moss could never repeat october 7th. getting that does that cease fire the release of hostages, a major expansion, you monitoring assistance, and then turning the corner for the people who guys are so that we can help rebuild their lives, their livelihoods. and as i said, deal with the critical long term issues to in during peace and stability, including a palestinian state. thank you. thank you all. well you've been listening that to the us secretary of state, and me bring can give

a press conference at the g 7 foreign ministers meeting on the italian island of capri blinking says the us is committed to israel security but also to de escalation. now he briefly described at the beginning new us sanctions on iran and the often most of its attack on his right on saturday and says that g 7 countries will be adopting additional sanctions to in the days ahead. he also said that they remain focused on events on the ground and garza and the imperative scaling up humanitarian aid full goes as well as getting a see sign up on the war and ukraine. he spoke about how cooperation at the g 7 give use this as being the best bet in sharing across the atlantic and is helping to put your credit on a long term pause where it can stand on its own 2 feet militarily and economically . but pointed out that ukraine needs to get more results as immediately including through mobilizing that usaid through version congress. and also took the opportunity to make a swipe at china. saying that it's helping to fuel the biggest threat to european securities since the end of the cold war,

russia and its military industrial capacity. now when pressed on that during the strike on around he said that the us has not been involved in any offensive operations. their focus is on the escalation. i know rafa, he says the us cannot support a major minute true operation that they believe that the objective of defeating how much that can be achieved by other means that something we've had multiple times before. and mostly in addressing the u. s. vote at the un security council. the re to for palestine is bid for full membership. blinking said that he believes that resolving tensions in the region has to be done through deployment. st. not in position. that there will be a time that is right to recognize palestine, but that this is not that time. well i'm moving on now and at least 4 people have been killed west of gauze, the city of israel's minute sleep on a family home that while in the north of the strip is really forces shelves, jamalia and a lot. yeah. other taxable 7 taking place east of rafa in the south. as we

were saying, the us and israel say they have agreed on a shed objective to defeat thomas and rossa, during virtual talks on israel's plan to launch their ground operation in that city . the pentagon. notice saying that it can believe and believes it is real, can complete that offensive well protecting civilian lives. and that's despite mounting pressure from right scripts warning, but this would turn rough button to a graveyard talk i was in has more from that southern gauze. slowly, a great deal of the submissive and frustrations frustration have been forget the monk locals. he and the southern part of the gaza strip in light of the is ready prime minister benjamin netanyahu has repeated statements about the, the dissipated military offensive in a rough, rough district within the coming weeks is specifically that they have been saying that they are preparing for a plum to evacuate civilians from that area far as we have been hearing from locals, they are completely terrified from the point that they are leaving rough or to a new area where destruction is in every single corner. and they are also afraid to

be again, from bodice, even off the following is very military orders in different areas that they have been evacuating to fall. clearly, they are completely terrified from that military anticipated attack due to the fact that it will bring the consequences not only on the security aspect, but the wrong side with the humanitarian. one is specifically that the only to board is pushing voters that are working right now. in order to guarantee for the flow of humanitarian supplies into the gall, this trip are located in rafael. i'm for the potential military escalation and roughly means that we spoke as will be possibly out of service, which will aggravate the humanitarian crisis. of course that's out 3 as well as i was saying earlier, the united states has vetoed a draft resolution of the un security council, which called for palestine to become a full and then the united nations. us was the, are in the country diverse against it. 12 members versus in favor with the u. k.

and switzerland upstanding carrier that's under has one out from you and headquarters in new york. those against a single raised hand signaling the united states veto, which ended palestine aspirations to become a full member of the united nations. also showing how isolated america has become on the issue. they were the only no vote. the u. k and switzerland abstained. while the 12 other council members all voted in favor of palestine to the palestinian people, diana will never abandon you. we will continue to use our advice on to and justice is served grunting. membership in the you went to palestine, could be an important step towards peace. it would strengthen the role of the palestinian authority and which contributes to the security of the instead of as well. well, i know of, well, how all the time in remarks after the us veto power stein's ambassador gathered

himself, as he talked about his people's quest for dignity and acceptance. the chamber sat silent. some diplomats were seen wiping away tears as he spoke. we love life to live in freedom and dignity in our nation at home. now we will not disappear either you deal with us with fairness and give us a lot of rights or to give us over the rights to the united states justified its veto. by casting doubt on palestine qualifications, as reflected in the report of the admission committee that there was not unanimity among committee members. as to whether the applicant met the criteria for membership as set forth in article for the un charter. earlier in the day, in a separate council session opened to o u. n. member states. the secretary general brief the council on the reality on

the ground, gaza 6 and off months. the visa valley mediates audio potations have created the many ted and health gate. tens of thousands of people have been to to 1000000 follow stevens available to do this, this direction, and the denial of live saving you meditating the aides. and they are now standing down on a sort of ation. it was a long day of more than 5 hours of speeches on palestine and the humanitarian crisis and gaza, followed by nearly 2 more hours, focused on palestine ins bid to join a $193.00 other countries and become a full member of the united nations but despite overwhelming support, it's now abundantly clear, it likely won't happen until the united states changes its position. gabriel's on to, i'll just say that at the united nations in new york,

the ukraine says 9 people have been killed in russian strikes overnight. the attack happened in the central city of the need for a residential building called find was heavily damaged during the strikes. and you really minutes rate meanwhile says it's down to long range russian bama for the 1st time. the pain in this video is you see that is spiraling to the ground. so to be like a russian territory. this to you 23. bon, that carries cruise missiles, russell. there is a crushed due to a malfunction. of correspondent charles transferred is in chief with more on the downing the claim. well this indeed, this is true. this is significant for ukrainian forces because this would be the 1st time, at least that they have down. one of these large strategic russian farm is in mid flight. as i say, this is

a claim being made by the ukrainian air force is impossible to verify. the t you $22.00 m 3 is one of a strategic long range bombers. you say that can carry cruise missiles and we've seen that video of what looks to be an aircraft of, of that shape plummeting to the ground. we understand over there, russia co stand report, which is hundreds of miles away from the ukranian border. what we do know though, is that the ukrainians that actually destroyed will claim to have destroyed a couple of these planes before that was last year in august. but these planes wait and an air base south of st. petersburg. and in the last couple of days the ukrainians have also been claiming that they have been targeting a strategic boma factory in kaz and which is approximately well around 2000 kilometers away from the ukranian border. so it wouldn't be inconceivable that this has happened, but it would be an illustration that to ukraine. certainly,

despite obviously complaining and demanding more, a defense still has the capacity to take down your large military aircraft at very long distances. us that just places have now moved a step closer to a proving of nearly $100000000000.00 military, a package for israel, ukraine, and taiwan. democrats and i keep missing you joins with moderate republicans to move forward on the consideration of a senate bill. the mission also includes billions of dollars and funding for humanitarian aid to palestinians. passage of this funding there has faced steep opposition from the block of trump loyalist as well. let's not go back to the g 7 where our foreign ministers of amazing and can pre and easily correspond it during a how has been at that meeting far as the joins as now from the join us in terms of what we've just been hearing from blinking is emphasizing us commitment to both ukrainian and as really secure issues today, but really very much saying that washington is focused on de escalation as

well. that is the message coming out to the g 7 generally off to these 3 day meeting of foreign ministers here? yes, absolutely. blinking the secretary of state finished speaking about 10 minutes ago . now. he of course, reiterated that message of the escalation. he also said that the us are not being involved in any conflict alongside these relevant terms of those strikes in the audience with the morning on iran. he wouldn't be drawn on whether or not the us had received prior warning from israel as has been reported. and therefore, whether the to submit associated themselves had received that problem warning by us channels. no, would either be drawn on the question of whether he thought that the 7 pressure had helped in getting israel to limit its strike antonio, to johnny the italian foreign minister though confirmed the both of those things

that happened at least in his butte warning, had been given and the g 7 had been successful in liberty, israel's actions blinked and went on as do to johnny. to reiterate the top points of the g 7 view on the middle east, we are more united. the never he said in reaching for. ready every possibility to, to get the escalation of the region, he talked about the ongoing commitment to israel's security. he reiterated the condemnation of a ron's attack on these rel over the weekend. and he said that it was entirely right to the as well should be able to defend itself. the sanctions he talked about in place that's been decided over the course of the last couple of days by the us and the u. k. joint action that he uses it will come up with the sanctions package on monday. i'm just the runs miss out and try and protect the production facilities . so more on that to come. and he said it was important to get this episode out of the way. so that the focus could shift back onto gauze, up on to the need for an immediate cease fire in gaza and the unfair to access

a few minutes every night to those who need it. reiterating, as he said, again, the us opposition to and he's rarely action on rough or as you said, you're in a huge focus on, on tensions in the middle east, but also a lot of discussion of the g 7 about ukraine. interesting to note that in his press conference, blinking really came out and spoke very strongly about china and it's roland in assisting russian developing and maintaining its military he did. that was obviously a focus on the and the pacific here was to find a member of the g 7. yes, he said john, just have to call and have things both ways just con, wish to have a central place in the international training system. but at the same time, the funding results is being used by russia in its defense industry to produce weapons. so yes, he says, efforts would be made by the g 7 to try and tackle that ukraine was the other big

issue close at this meeting to meet you could either you credit for minister will see it desperately pleading for more results has more arms and ammunition especially at defense equipment, germany trying to lead a coalition to provide it. and uh there's that sold us a package. $60000000000.00 of that sector blinking a nice press conference and said he expects hopes will clear republican objections in congress perhaps this weekend and he was off with that money would be coming to lights. he said, well no, not yet. but the risk is certainly that the discipline goes any longer. the moment may arrive when international assistance for ukraine is to like trying how that was a very nice just for us from that g 7 foreign ministers meeting income pre it's late. thank you, john. now moving on to some other wells news. now, natalie reports indicate steady version 10 out in the 1st phase of india is parliamentary elections, prime minister and render moody's b. j. p has enjoyed unprecedented popularity in that aiming for some time. now

impala, the indian government has not given visas to our correspondence to cover the story . so we are covering the election from outside the country, middle fernandez reports this place that the 10 men to use their vote. some of the people costing that balance here in india is northeastern states of money pools were pushed out of the homes last year because of it, the violence committee to the 0. they have voting for stability, restoring fees and bringing back them off or on. normally, what do we have before this last incident? this is our 1st, bradley miller chief, s and l have been deployed here and across the building states to ensure a peaceful and uninterrupted full. 166000000 indians are eligible to vote in the 1st phase of the was largest collection. if you choose 102 of the 543 members of the looks of a little house of parliament,

the mix of those going to the pause means different priorities when choosing home to vote for. we have voted for the nations well, few movies, which is very good and nothing will change. i will vote, but nobody will do anything. i'll give my vote to whoever i feel. i like the election picks, the governing, bought at the edge on the potty, led by prime minister and that into the movie, against the collision of 26 opposition. thought these movie has been the face and force of the beach if the campaign which is aimed at security, that's the main office. his popularity of data in comparison to up with you. some leadership is very, very high. he's more popular than the 5 be as the surveys are actually, the opposition has mobilized large crowds, which has not been able to den the b j piece. popularity is accused the bgp of undermining its members and decline stage, investigating agencies against it charges the beach if he has denied as hundreds of millions of indians decide who to vote for. they will be hoping that those when

will ensure a better country for everyone. in a fernandez to 0 reminder, the indian government has not gone to the visas to elder, there is correspondence. so we are covering the selection from outside india on earlier on my colleagues, somebody's a down spoke to low hon christian in the spokesman of the v. j p. he often has the indian government will allow janice to report on elections from india and to check there is no threat for anybody in the country. anybody is free to walk until unless they follow the rules and regulations of to kind of solve my question. so what i'm asking when you allow out to see or a journalist went to the country to cover the elections and you have an opportunity to disprove what even freedom house is saying about harassment of jealous. anybody's anybody's going to come from anybody is very common for that. but instead of confirmation that you'll government will give us spaces to enter. and couple of

the elections we look forward to is the is the only if you, if you dig the formation right. but mission from the light sources, you get it done on you can cover the elections. there is no issue with that. but one thing you have to follow the rules and regulations of the country very strictly . now that they do that, the other question you oh, that's the, that's not a media. i did the national organizations talking about india, about the, the head asmin through agencies as the germans to show me one instance reading. that's something called the fx, the country of the high board of the states. how. how did that? i mean, not to by saying that this is that, uh this, uh, this is a, uh, not a good one. it is very special. what we would definitely say has taken the last into their hands has been published

a minute for you. how the cop to carry in kenya is defense. chief has crashed, coming on board, the across went down about 400 kilometers north west of the capital. i wrote me, general francis, a monday ago, was among 10 senior officials on that helicopter pots of admission with all the defense force troops in the region. there remains have been taken to library b. now for various the world health organization has expanded its definition of an air borne pathogen and comes off to control the see around the original definition, which will say, let some miscommunication during the curve of 19 pandemic. this new criteria for evelyn infections now means that a virus can still be defined as an ad borne pathogen, regardless of the size of the actual drop cut that spends the illness sign to say that this new definition could help to save lives in the future. well that's it for me and associates. i remember you can always find much more on our website and i'll just 0, don't com, my colleagues from you. they don't have

a brief update for you. and i'm, i'm to stay with us here on the a unique perspective. everything is political. you must be out of politics and everything is a feminist issue to on hud voices. we see our leadership destroying the ability to have a normal life in god. and that the stories that really feel us having a normal life. elizabeth connects with our community and tap into conversations you weren't find elsewhere. there is no over there and it's hot, it's right here. and right now, the stream on out to the around being a journalist is a privilege i get to the heart of the story, amplified the voices of those who have been drowned out by the noise is a 4. is my driving force is what pushes me to take risks

facing the trying to find that challenge and the huge responsibility we keep politicians and decision makers in check. so the devastating human cost of their decisions working about 0 enables me to make that positive voice is relevant to so that there's more that unites us then divide. this is to took is the 1st country in the world to develop a comprehensive nation sustainable tourism program. partnership with the global sustainable tourism comes village life here retains its strong. every meal is like a feast from the farm to the tape. hundreds of excavations and restoration. this country is a place to slow down and enjoy the simple things coming to discover the natural, historical, and cultural beauties. we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. is

the human suffering that the reports are we brave bullets and bombs, and we always include the views from all sides. the i'm sammy's, i down with a look at the headlines here and i'll just say right now, iran says it's a defense systems of shot down 3 drones, pensions run high with israel. then deceptions happen near the central city of us for han re, new media say a new play assigned to mid 3 base and as soon as they have not being damaged. american media, citing us officials are full think it was and is really attack these right minute treat itself, whether it's not common thing, most of devonte has more from wrong according to the head of a runs army. major general abdur rahim loose, ivy erodes air defense system,

were activated over the skies s on province early.
