10:08 am
us pressuring him. us to agree to israel is tons. it's actually, it's a and c, blinking is an israel to push for a deal, which she says is achievable. and we're trying to get this this far. the brings the hostages all together now. and the only reason that that wouldn't be changes because of a loss of policy. as we said, till delays. there was no excuses. the time is now and time is now long past due to great hostages on the same time, even with terminations, you get to see star, the police officers all we also have to be focused on people in gosh, for suffering. goodness, crossfire. of course, this is all part essentially say honestly think his latest push to try and revive ceasefire tools, so it's not care if there is likely to be any hurts in hostilities, even
10:09 am
a temporary one or is the results of business. this is now the is rating, negative his trip interest me, the prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has placed invade ross site in southern gauze, which is a scenario that to positive in trying to avoid that. to me always says that he will potentially do this, whether or not as he's fine is agreed on it. smith brings us this report now from occupied histories of them. these rails miller trees already hitting targets in roughly the prime minister. benjamin netanyahu says a much larger operation aimed at how must his leadership and his remaining battalions will happen when you can just leave a 5th wheel and to rest up because we have no other choice will destroy the how must battalions that we will complete all the objectives of the goals, including the repatriation outcomes, t's then yahoo is under international pressure not to launch a full assault on rafa. when more than a 1000000 palestinians,
10:10 am
a sheltering military assault on rough foot would be an unbearable escalation. killing thousands marched civilians, enforcing and the thousands the fleet also in the line of fire would it be, is rarely captives. the families protested in jerusalem on tuesday, demanding a c spy. a deal. they must do what's necessary to protect the civilians and in the battle space. a much better job of what we've seen thus far. and as you know, they're north of a 1000000 civilians that have moved into that space that you have to. or if you're going to conduct operations and then those civilians must be accounted for and hopefully move data moved out of the area. as these rails military says it's ready for a rough operation. how most of us now decide whether to accept a deal knowing that netanyahu was promised to attack the last strong cold. come what may come us, as always insisted on a permanency spine. whatever pressure that might be on benjamin netanyahu from
10:11 am
overseas or from the families of the captives, as well as prime minister, relies on foreign ministers to stay in power. they won't the raft result to go ahead and go any deal with how much terrible defeat defy them. and then you all who could be out of office a bonus smith, i'll just say era occupied east jerusalem. these are some of the nicest pictures on the pictures that i see thinking the trip to the region who is now in israel as and you're explaining these, which is some of his remarks made that a few minutes ago i just had an opportunity to meet with some of the families of some of the houses as i have on every business that's in 5 minutes. don and i just want to share with you what i shared with them. bringing your loved one
10:12 am
is at the heart of everything. and we will not rest until everyone. so please get strong every single day. so let's now see what outcomes one you might interested in finding smith is following all of this. so just a hearing from nancy blinking up on it. essentially saying that that the main priority in all of these discussions is the release of is writing hostages inside cause a no mention of, of, of thousands of the palestinians and those remarks. and we understand these already
10:13 am
met with present. and so, and then a meeting with the prime minister is expected shortly. yes, he's on his way over to west jerusalem to meet with benjamin netanyahu without meeting with the families. a significant note just before the meeting at yahoo because they've been very critical, particularly just in the last 24 hours of netanyahu because they view his comments that he's going to go in to rafa come what may as a threats to any deal on the table, that might see the release of some of those. some of those called the captives, perhaps 33 of the 133 still believed to be in gauze as of the hostages on stage families, williams, and lincoln to keep the pressure on the m. yahoo, though he says, as we've heard, you tell me to go into rough uh a little so i go meet to benny guns, another member of the wall cabinets and he's in a couple it's north of just north of cause that he lives. that sometimes is
10:14 am
practice for it, so he's not as mo bile as he was unblinking. he's also here to push these riley's on a didn't getting more aid into gaza. he'll go to school on port bodies, just know the cause of it is the quickest and most straightforward way to get as much aid in as quickly as possible into gaza. israel, very reluctant to use. i stalled, they only a couple of weeks ago, but if it was use more, you wouldn't certainly wouldn't need ad drops. so because of, and you probably wouldn't need the americans to build this floating, pay it off the coast of gauze to get gate and not way to bring to ones more a coming in through the audio, but it kind of asylum. crossing down on the south of uh, gaza, just to see how the 8th gets in. thank you very much, bye miss smith. following developments that for us. thank you very much. bonded as well inside goals are itself these ready ministry is attacking residential areas
10:15 am
right across the strip. so many casualties of mounting by the day, more than 34 and a half 1000 pile of things have been killed in any 7 months of war. and one of the latest attacks and as strike on rough fight in the south, killed at least affordable to children. as well as intensified aerial attacks on the city is v as mount as a major ground defensive, around one and a half 1000000 forcibly displaced. palestinians are sheltering. that tag i will as them joins us live from rough. i and southern gauze and tell us what's happened over the past few hours. yes, it was, it was completely of a series of strikes. the targeted multiple areas of course, the territory. in fact, marian, well, what we can see is that all the nice strikes had targets at a residential house in a shop where a neighborhood where 2000 in children have been killed with a number of entries and those who have been and just have to be less strong that i'm not receiving treatments and i'm quite sure hospital, but yes, the fact that you still politically die as palestinians are completely hearing the
10:16 am
explosions to the car taking place in the eastern part of roughly our district are talking about constance onto rape abutment or the eastern sides of russell, this is they are the point what it's expect to. the ministry will start to expand a truth operation in a rock by a through they have been bouncing the vicinity of kansas ols applewood, which is already destroyed. and uh, a residential house as well that has been taxed for one, palestinian has been chewed, induct schilling, fox, relatively. the situation in other parts of the territories is so critically, critically a hard and difficult where the is verify digits, how targeted their residential slots endeavoured by a town where without any casualties to now are binding to the hospitals of the middle area seemingly in the news the tax also continued where these very 5 digits have level to the ground. there has been shoot buildings. while there are initial report saying that a number of palestinians,
10:17 am
popular reputed kills and things that do seem inches right now, are completely suffering from the ones that they have been resulting from such attacks as they are medically treated in a highly arc hospital box. um its own going from bottom and that this phone forwarding to antonio terrance. we found a city of only as i turned into a studio she ations being made in kyra regarding reaching to us who spot agreements . they believe that if there's gonna be any potential collapse of such negotiations, the situation will turn upside down here, rough or in light of the ongoing threats. really. it's by it's very prime minister benjamin to tell you how about this month to me, how much that's what he is here in law, fine at the same time, about $218.00. the goal is to the population to other areas that are supposed to be designated to save some bucks. we clearly remember as best saved zones and the majority of areas that are designated to save zones, palestinians have been killed or something about hundreds of people being killed. that what people have know what left to go. um,
10:18 am
it's based on going miniature campaign. of course the territory. thank you very much tank. i was them and southern garza that's bringing, i'm are sure he's a professor of security minutes, restarted doha, institute for graduate studies. and you're listening to remarks that from secretary of state asked names lincoln. the focus is finally on him, us to accept a 40 day ceasefire. so this wouldn't, so this is just a, a temporary hold to violence, not just for the short time, but i suppose eventually in the purpose is to have some us relinquish complete control of gaza. and already seeing that to sort of narrative being a spawn, that this is a very good deal and the, the but if it falls through the fault lies with a mass, it seems as though there is absolutely no pressure being put on these res it's, it's true and also the issue is that there is no strategic vision for what happens afterwards. what,
10:19 am
what we're seeing now is all pollution in the objective. so we're talking about the ceasefire for a 40 days or so. and in and some exchanges. uh, but uh for this one. yeah. how has it mentioned more than once that the, the issue of attacking the has just a method of time. and then if you look at the objectives, that order operational objective, so he wants to destroy the, for an edge, the for battalions of how much they're, they already a, you know, they just need a correspond to just mentioned the, the strikes on uh, on national board which is one of the 4 areas they claim that the battalions are situated in shop what and you have not in the eastern enough i city. and uh, they also would like to uh, get back the $130.00 or so hostages that are still there in the an offer. um, but if you looked at the okay, so this is the 2nd objective. and the 3rd objective is to try to occupy the,
10:20 am
the philadelphia according to order, which separates garza from egypt. so that any uh on the ground, the logistical support for how much is uh, is under mine. so on the ground lines of communications. uh, uh, and get also a, as in water and the leadership of how much who they allege did they already know, all of these will not solve the issue because from the beginning of this operation since the ground offensive in 20, on 17 sub october, 2020 c. these will repeated and we are now in the same a operation on a cheese operational objectives that we started within 27th of october 2023. so we're left with now a scenario where you have washington at trying to kick start some sort of process that would bring about a ceasefire. lincoln is trying to sort of take cover or so there are assets by saying that that the focus is on her last and that they want to release is really
10:21 am
hostages. but at all is not being completely undermined by the allies in israel, who are saying that this ground invasion of profit is going to take place regardless of anything that comes out of this, you know, washington's initiative. absolutely. if you looked at the map, what's, what's happening with the force deployment, with the a buying goal of creating a 10 city eventually buying forestalled and launched in each one can take 12 persons in them. so that's about 4 180000 people of the 1400000 situated in rough, or to be at the located in the midwest, a quarter door. and in, in con eunice, if you looked at the, we're talking about the 5 big aides of these, the getting ready in the team admitted to the base and the around it a, the withdrawal with of the 900 and 33rd, which used to man the the quoted or that this fits goes into north and south. all
10:22 am
of this. so you are redeploying a force, a significant force of about $5.00 to $6.00. big gauge, 2 of them making eyes infantry to armor. one special forces in one, but a troopers do entered into a little file. so we're talking about the same as operation to that opinion is funny. was that at the max they had about 8 big aids. so now we are in the range of the 6. yeah, the gauge, we don't know if they will get also a system with all the reserves units. and so it looks to me that the they are starting an operation already. and it's a method of time where they start to uh, or escalate the and so that these are the sort of military units that you describe, that, that are being mobilized. and you know, at naval ground troops are preparing for this attack to take place. that is going to inflict unimaginable pain on the population of rough uh once a couple of 100000, some 300000 just now as well to one and a half one and a half 1000000 policy means
10:23 am
a set sheltering that. so the idea is to reach out to him asking, know that this is not possible. and so you have many people who are living that and really horrific conditions. what effect is this going to have on civilians, women, children, babies, it will be a catastrophic effect. then they know that because of what you're seeing now is about a concentration of about 18 solid in 2. 19 cells in person for squared can only so when you have this, this level in terms of population density anywhere you're going to shoot not with artillery or slides. if you're shooting with the pistols in the assault rifles, you will shoot the wrong people fold in the dead for that will be a lot of this and people dying. and that, unfortunately, in that operation, if it go ahead actually a lot. as we're speaking there are these pictures coming to us from university of california, u. c l, a of pro on assigned,
10:24 am
and pro israel supporters appear to be in scuffles. obviously there is a confrontation happening here that has been peaceful protests. it must be said peaceful protests on many and many different cities across the united states. you are hearing a report from our correspondent. i'm speaking about texas speaking about the situation in washington and most recently in new york, when we saw the n y, p d, the new york police arresting students and removing them from a building that they were refusing to vacate to voice the support for the palestinians. or, and to try and put pressure on the universities to con links to businesses that benefit from israel. obviously, these universities are receiving students tuition fees. they go into funds that are then used, you know, for financial reasons, often with companies that happening stays around and students have cooling on the
10:25 am
universities to die, to invest from not what you make because these, these things happening here here on, on it's quite the quite a sad situation actually all over the but the, we know that the civil, the resistance campaign sometimes have to have an effect. the that was a, is a story color roots do that. then the then to old, the doing can get nom and the as well as it says so much moments. but it should be said also that there are many jewish protest as who has been taking part in these protests of it are quoting for an end to the war on gaza. and that has been this very cynical and disingenuous conflation of these protests with anti semitism confused the position to, to design is ideology with anti semitism episode. the, the, the, i mean zionism in judaism, are 2 different things. you know, they, the, the, the founders of zone is in many of them what atheist tried. they did not believing that they believe the god gifted then the land, but they did not read it,
10:26 am
but even called. so it's a, it's a bit of a, that is the political ideology. and with many factions, some of its founders became anti scientists and they were very, really just use and, and we, we know they got the 3 heard. so founders of, of, so i mean, isn't turned around in some of them. so it's a large movement and with very different affections. but it also is separate from that image and because you will find many useful to not really believe it. yes. all right, well thank you very much for that. i'm going to show about 200000 palestinians who works and israel before the war on gaza, say that to that unexcused tributes. it's an estimated $319000000.00 to the protestant in economy every month. now the restrictions in place mean the only a few 1000 what permits are being issued. and that's meant that most palestinians living in the occupied westbank are out of work. some taking drastic steps to
10:27 am
survive as his name is one of the reports from ramallah. a broken arm, middle pins in his leg of fractured news and deep cuts on his hand. injuries that could take months to his size and dozens of other palestinians were trying to scale a separation wall crossing into israel to find one of the few lost his footing and fell side says he's lucky to be alive. when asked why take such a risk? he just looks around the room and off the split, which is better to work or ask for charity. what can we do? there is no work. there is no choice. i was going to work to help my family from adults can tolerate hunger and anything else. but what about the kids who bring diapers and milk for these children? my sort of how can they understand that there's a more and smarter going on?
10:28 am
how can they understand for, for him on over your horrible fee to fiddle fees is real, they can make enough to survive doing construction work, painting houses, electrical repair and other manual labor. but since the war on garza israel has board entry to most palestinian workers leading to an unemployment crisis, some palestinians are killed by is really bombs and bullets for others. so it's father says long term unemployment is starting to feel like a slow death, as it is not uncommon for people to scale these high walls. because on the other side is, is rarely territory. it is a chance to find some work to earn some money. but seeking financial salvation in a sense, by sneaking into israel, the very country that is oppressing you and your people is no doubt for those doing it. a pride, swallowing endeavor,
10:29 am
some pay with their lives earlier this month of the him on there are father of 7 died after nearly a month in his really custody detained in his real, along with his son for not having work permits a father trying to feed his family died in his son's arms on the floor of and is really prison. so no work in the occupied westbank and no help on the horizon means few options. the original fi, it wasn't, isn't it? if you don't want us to go to israel, should we steal? if we had another choice, we would not go to work in israel. we would not take the risk and we would stay here where it's safe side says when he's better, he'll try once more. even if it means risking his life again, just to give others a fighting chance zane bus route the old to 0 the occupied westbank palestine as well still to bring you on the program. the police introducing cried down on

down soon. malcolm web elders era kind of river county can. yeah. so continuing to follow developments to the university of california in los angeles where they've been confrontations between the protest as opposed to the war and goals as the pro palestine support says, he want the war and goals of genocide and cause at the end. and then as another group who is supporting israel, that fine works, the throne and the palestinian encampment rolled. reynolds joins us on the line from los angeles. and so rob, i don't know if you're hearing much about what exactly happened between these 2 separate groups on the campus of u. c. l, a as well. uh, this has been going on actually for several nights. uh and uh, this is the largest manifestation of the pro design is pro israel, a group of uh, founder processors. all of whom,
10:40 am
apparently are from off campus or at least many of whom my observation has come from somewhere else. they're not students, but they are attacking the campus, which has been in place for less than a week, but has been maintained by students who are protesting israel's war and protesting against a colleague for the best bent of the universities. financial ties to israel. as you've seen across the united states, but this is the most violent vigilant, the attack against these students that i've ever seen in this current situation and the, the people who are doing the attacking again are the counter demonstrators. if you
10:41 am
can call them that, or a line with a pro, probably israel pro zionist organizations, they're carrying a flag. i can see in these live pictures, the yellow flag with a crown on it, and the word in english, messiah, which means messiah. in hebrew, um and uh, the important thing to note here is there seems to be absolutely no police intervention whatsoever. the road that was going to be my next question is because, you know, obviously that the protests that we've seen over the past few weeks of how or is a very heavy police presence. we have seen quite the crack down in please things just over the other night with the policy i was in new york with the n y p d, removing and arresting stroup peaceful streaming protest as from hamilton building, which is on building on the columbia university campus using violence and heavy handed tactics, but here is you just as you was saying, we have
10:42 am
a group from outside of the university has been deployed at to essentially attack pro palestine. and he will peaceful student protest as a nothing has been done to stop this. and not only that, i am but the, the pictures that i'm seeing live from helicopters overhead so that there are police on campus. it looks like us angeles police department officers in vehicles, large numbers of the mass nearby on campus. so it's not as if there are no resources available to break this up. it's just that nothing is being done on whose orders on what brad? a g i, i don't know, but the fact remains that no one is introduced. excuse me. no one is intervening
10:43 am
here. now, you know, we observed over the past several days at new c, l a that they uh, security guards and some campus dirty. but no l a p d no, arms, professional police have been there to separate these 2 groups. um, so apparently the security guards were just overwhelmed. they set up those metal barriers uh sort of like bike racks. uh that you see uh in these police lines to keep the 2 sides apart. but those appear to have been just torn apart in the stairs. again, there's no law enforcement or security presence at all. i can see from what's going on. now it seems like the sort of pitched attack by this mob against the peaceful
10:44 am
protest and cameron seems to have someone is old. there doesn't seem to be any one that they're more milling around now and they have separated somewhat from the uh, the interior they, they do come on the still, i mean, is there a to see that we can see that we can deliver grounds through the various devices and there are still people in the area shining torches and still some smoke there as well. perhaps it's, it's more to count on not quite sure, but that we are seeing a disposal of the crowds, but of i suppose the worry is wrong. but if, as you say, campus security guards are overwhelmed and to be able to handle this, they erected barricades as you said, but that those were easily breached. on that one point i think you had explosives,
10:45 am
fireworks being thrown by pro design is very vigilante groups that peaceful student protests is. and nothing was done to stop at the if this continues in the coming days and weeks, it could be someone could be seriously hot. i mean there could be some serious injuries. old peps was as a result of this, i would be surprised, given what we're seeing right now that someone hasn't been seriously injured during this may late tonight. i mean, there was definitely what you could call like hand to hand combat between these 2 groups. although obviously no firearms appear to have been involved, but the, this is a pitched battle with a lot of objects thrown, as you said, a chemical irritant. some, some kind of a use like the smoke i see the fireworks and people beating on the,
10:46 am
the boards that separate the the camp the rest of the campus. and well, but somebody has probably hurt. i'm not sure. i can't say that rarely certainty, but it is that it would be surprising given the level of intensity of violence by this pro israel mob. uh then somebody has already been seriously injured. and several, tell me uh the in terms of this is a university campuses. it's a very large kind of geographical space that they occupied. whereabouts of the protest has been gathering roughly what is the number and how is it that, i mean they someone outside the vicinity of the university itself given that the, the pro zein is small but able to sort of reach them as well? no, it's in a pretty open university. it's. yeah, you feel it is a sprawling a space. as you mentioned, there are many buildings,
10:47 am
and this is in the very part of the old, the oldest part of you see a lie between a voice hall which is a ornate classroom building and the library. the main library, paul library. so this right in the heart of the campus to be chosen for that very reason to be high visibility by the protestors who are opposed to israel's war and gaza and the co and the colleague good divestment. but you can walk into the campus. it's not like it's surrounded by a wall or there's a perimeter or anything like that or gate. so many campuses are different but, but you can just walk into this space and that's what these uh, what the, what the, the vigilantes appear to have done. and i don't know if you've looked into this much well, but in terms of the vigilante group, the,
10:48 am
the pro israel support is that of, as it has been present tonight, how much do we know about their activities on all the university campuses and how particularly they organize themselves and, and mobilize to, to try and to try and essentially uh, yeah, uh, uh, not yeah, i don't, i don't know any other kind of protesters like this. um, any other campuses uh that we've seen during these protests. i think that this is the kind of a unique situation, although certainly there are, you know, there are people who, you know, have an opposing point of view and, you know, express that we haven't seen this kind of violent attack by mom is
10:49 am
a land he's against the, the, the, the protesters so um, how they organize themselves. very good question. we know that they set up a kind of always a large sound stage with a, a screen. uh, several days ago they were uh, showing uh, uh, various types of pop again, um the screen. uh i was told that they obtain that uh setup with loudspeakers and a sound system and a stage full bite, crowd funding online. um with the uh, the online uh, funding uh appeal that raised $60000.00 overnight. um. so a lot of this is, is online. um and a lot, i mean, lenders did, there's a, there's a very large jewish community in, in los angeles. yeah. what the rob, let's, let's catch up then a bit later on. and, you know,
10:50 am
hopefully get an update from you on what is happening there at u. c. l, a campus in los angeles. those rob was saying, situation is a little bit common now. crowds appear to have despised, but really some very worrying scenes are they are on it. you see at a when pro israel vigilante, mom essentially shot explosives of students who had been sleeping in the, in the gaza solidarity and company that's been gathering there for several nights. although tonight's, or a bit of a turning point, with some violent confrontations between pro, a pro design is group who are not from the use yet a campus. this is a group. also people who would come from off campus to attack peaceful student protest is. and it is important to note that that has been up so you know police intervention offices and vehicles nearby, but nothing was done to stop this confrontation was to stop the violence. and so we
10:51 am
will continue to follow anything that's happening that thank you very much, rob for now. we'll say want to take you to a developments and the u. k. on to weapons campaign, is there a staging of protests, the departments of business and trade in london, according on the government to hold on supplies to israel, pull brian and joins us live from that protest in london pull. what's happening of the yeah, well since about an hour ago we've had around 5600 protesters who congregated a short distance away. and i moved here to the building which houses the palmer for business and try and lets you say, this is the government department which licenses, alms and weapons exports, including an excessive $500000000.00 worth of weapons that goes to israel from the stomach and getting a kind of human chain around the building at the moment you can see the holes in the black gods of chancing through megaphones over a peaceful lodge, police presence, excuse me. the intention is to mock made
