or whatever has been done before trying to be done even bit as long as a human being is doing it, you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see, the vision is keywords you to the administration says israel's use of the american weapons may have violated international lauren garza, but there isn't enough evidence to withhold from the truth the, the clock this is out there. i'd like to come to south africa issues. another place to the u. n's topcoat toward the israel to withdrawal from rough or so in the military and cousin instructions the survival of color. the results of the root is

as follows. in favor 143. israel i selected as a world stage to you in general assembly. overwhelmingly adult resolution tracking and russia launch is a major ground assault in ukraine's northeast region. the so israel's closest ally and biggest supplies, the united states says it is rails use of american weapons. light came breached international lauren garza. the long awaited report by the fight administration to congress issues erect criticism of israel's ministry conduct box. it stopped short of finding specific instances that would justify withholding military a to israel. it's ready, forces have killed many, 35000 palestinians in gauze, and some talk to with the 7th, more than 15,

thousands of them children and over 9000 women skidmore, and this from political, hey, and who's standing by for us in washington, dc, and passes over a curious, interesting stuff, this is net coming off to the us president, the coal threatened to count the supply weapons, who has relatives defensive on rough and that hasn't changed the president us president joe biden still has the authority and the power to do that. we do have the resulting shipments of bonds he's made for the threats of basically cutting off offensive weapons. this is not about that. this is about under pressure from democrats in congress. the president said to the state department, come up with a report like 7 countries where the us has given military aid and make sure they're using a following international law. if they're not, then they're in the law. there are certain steps that have to be taken minimizing aid, cutting off 8 altogether. so we've been waiting for this report for quite a while. it was due on wednesday, but coincidentally, didn't come out until friday at 5 pm in the us. and well,

the reports in the media before its release were said, it was going to be very tough on israel. it really is not very tough at all. for example, it says it's reasonable to adjust, assess the defense articles that have been used, inconsistent with israel's international humanitarian law obligations. so again, that's not saying they've reached the law. i'd say it could be inconsistent, but we don't have any actual examples of that. and now i think our viewers and find this interesting, it says the intelligence community has no direct indication of israel, intentionally targeting civilians. but that they could take steps to do a better job. but that basically add, it doesn't say that the steps are taken to protect civilians are inadequate. they do say that the un says that they are inadequate and inconsistent and effective. but again, that's not the use usa that when it comes to protecting civilians, israel is falling short, but other people say they are. and then um,

it does say that israel says that it's taking mitigating steps to make sure to protect civilians restrictive measurements to protect sites such as hospitals, places of worship, schools as un facilities. and again, and i think anyone who's been watching our coverage for the last of the months will of seeing the exact opposite of that. again, the us is and say, we believe they're doing this. they're just saying israel says they are. and then when it comes to a, it's as well much improved, even though is real, was a cooperative the beginning, shortly after october, 7th, improve aid is happening more needs to be done. but what they're doing by not supply humanitarian days, the level that they're doing, the set doesn't rise to the level and the law where we would find them in violation . so the report is in, it basically says they've got some issues with something that is real, some things that israel's done, but not to the extent that anything's gonna happen,

at least because of this report. all right, patty, thanks for that. so let's explore this further. we'll say joining us from washington dc is william lawrence. he's a professor of international relations at the american university and has served as a diplomat william lawrence welcome. so what do you make of this kind of criticism of israel's actions? sort of, shrouded in doubts about how follow that crisen should get so i have to agree with everything, patty said, but i have a slightly different take on it. one thing that the us government does is whenever they have anything bad to say they relieve that release as late on a friday afternoon so that the didn't, the news coverage is shifting the other things over the weekend. and it's not until the sunday shows that the department has to say much about it, and that means that they knew that it was not going to be received. well, we also have very good reporting which i confirmed today that several parts of the us government were against the findings in the report. notably, the bureau, democracy,

human rights and labor from which us i'm forgetting our name shelling and now resigned and also gave us the id which was strongly opposed to some of the findings . but when you actually lee lee read the report it's, i would say it's quite damning. what they do is they make sort of factual findings, of course, with some of the anytime language that patty was talking about. but they make factual findings that israel's violating international law. and then they don't make the legal finding. because i think politically the us government, which is already withholding 3500 heavy bonds of which they've used a few 100 and guys. but this is a huge number of bonds that we're holding. they want it to be a political decision to hold weapons, not a legal requirement to withhold weapons. and so i think that was a political decision of the white house in the state department to deliberately fall short of requiring themselves to hold arms shipments so they can use that as

a carrot and stick politically. with this railways, it is just satisfying the way patty is talking about, but it's unprecedented. they the us criticize israel in this way. okay, for the international law. so if it is unprecedented, does it have any impact? does it have any consequence as well? i was just making phone calls about that before i got here to international law specialist about what can happen next. it won't be in the us courts because this been a famous series of court decision since the 1980s, where basically the courts defer to congress the united states as are in the end executive branch to make these decisions about you know, what to do about violations of international law and us for an assistance. so the remedy is in congress and in the, in the executive branch. that means on this basis, congress can refuse to send further aid to israel. and on this basis,

the white house can refuse to send further arms to israel. and so the legal determination didn't have to be made. now it could be made tomorrow. so, so it's, it's, it's just another step too slow for the palestinians, but it's another step in the direction of creating the context in which you could stop all arms flows. the israel is under justification, factually is there, if not legal, right? yeah. and so congress time refusing whitehouse come refuse. but how likely is that? yeah. and i think uh, it's the same conversation we've been having all week. it all depends on rough. uh if as couple of harris said, as austin said, as blinking in his spokesman said, you know, if the uh, nothing out continues to defy direct us request publicly and privately to end rafa and to agree to the cease fire. and if we start seeing large numbers of civilian casualties and the things that the, the people wanted this report to do,

which was stopped the army, so as to to israel will happen. they, they will be stopped. so the balls and then yeah, i was court to either end this thing or extend this thing and we, we, we know where he's leaving and then that goes back to the white house. when will they force him to stop the war? and we've been waiting for that for awhile, but you know, each day we get closer to the point where as we saw in 2012, 2014, a 2008, i'd skipped one. and 2021. there was a point in which the white house said this is over, okay? it's rarely, it's called the hourglass. the sand is this few grains of sand left. and then this gets stopped. and that's one of the reasons they're trying to get a few things done. but they know they'll be stopped by the united states at some point. okay, finally, when i'm just done, it's very brief. if you would have brought more about the 8 aspects in the usa position that you referred to at the beginning. because the report from the israel has significantly increase humanitarian access report. findings of course came before the crossings with life or yeah. so um the us managed to

get this real to sort of get up to about 20 percent of what keeps the guys and population alive. right. and then um, during the latest negotiations and with further pressure, they were days we were up to 5070 percent of what guys it needs. but with all that missed aid, we had of course famine begin in northern guys, and we're starting to move south and people dying of starvation and children dying of malnutrition. and if you look at that section of the report, it says the israel is not sending enough age. so even if you have these throw a sentences. and that's all in the report. that hasn't been mr. part of it. say israel's doing more. the report also says israel's not doing enough. mm hm. and um, the us is going to continue to try to force israel to do more on the base of this report. and on the basis of the other things they're trying to do in terms of humanitarian assistance. grades get your novices one of them, but thanks very much. my name lawrence, a professor of international relations at american university. thanks

a lot. touch me. while south africa is filed, an urgent request, that the you and the top call to order is ready for us to withdraw from rafa. it says that the way is ready for us as it conducts against operation rough or ending . does that is genocidal. south africa's lawyers say that is relative soto and rafa gives rise to new facts that are causing a ripple home to the rights of the palestinian people. in garza, it goes on to state that if ratford has similarly destroyed, it will be the left of gauze of all of the prospects for the survival of promised a new life in the territory. valley also stresses as the primary hub for humanitarian assistance in garza. if we're out for full, say, to discuss what area we spoke to mattie, i'm jim she, she's an associate professor of laura at the university of colorado law school and says that south africa's request is part of a white, a political and legal stress due to apply pressure on the part, the ministration to hold its on conditional support for his right. right now with

the latest request that south africa has made to the court, you know, it has made very clear how urgent it believes the situation to be inside of it. as asked the court to weigh in on its provisional measures order within a week's time. and it has listed a litany of that, that highlight the really, the only thing that the court can and should do, which is at the minimum, to order israel to cease its military operation in ra huh. and though it has not explicitly asked for this in this, in this particular request is referenced it throughout the request that it is high time the court actually demands that israel seized all of its military activities inside of gaza, now will, is, will comply. know israel will not comply, unfortunately, but this is part of a larger legal and political strategy to increase pressure on the united

states on the bite and ministration to, to, to, to finally put some breaks on what is real is doing to the palestinians of gaza. the political pressure is undoubtedly mounting already. well is ready for us. this would be an expand to good times on rafa when any 1500000 palestinians, a sheltering well then 800000 of them have fled since monday the u. n says the is ready, armies take over the roof and border crossing her sealed gauze is key lifeline of 8 . at a time when fireman is spreading ourselves on, which as this report is really forces, having testified their attacks and rough or pushing deeper into the city's eastern areas, buildings around a q, a hospital or under fire or civilians have been sheltering for months. well, let us show you in the flood. i see that rafa cannot bear to be invaded by israel.

we are many casualties. most of the injured and martyrs that are arriving at this hospital are women and children, and they've been mostly displaced. persons on a mazda is aren't wing because some brigade say they have hate 2 tanks and a vehicle of caring is rarely troops disappears. a full scale ground invasion grows and the city comes on to intensify the tax from deer. do you and estimates more than 100000 people are fleeing to try and find any form of safety? for many, there's no escape the this motor bits of through welters soon as he dies in her arms. despite global calls for restraint, these really army has launched a multiple strikes on the roof of this week. on monday this way of the army drop

leaf flats or drink palestinians to evacuate families who once called her off the home, are now heading to almo bossy and darrow bella. but they are struggling to find food, water, and other supplies, and to no, no part of gaza is safe access. i'm gonna reach out to 0 instead of head here and out 0, the government in mexico is drastically reduced. the number of people officially declared is missing. find out why the on counting the cost is real installation defense as tech. a whole trade for the nation to one of the economic costs of buying on palestinian watkins in israel is all pending, labors, livelihoods, and can popular new weight loss trucks reshape the industry. counting the cost on alex's era. despite his exile form or catalog lead the car,

this please demo is set to run for president when the spanish region polls early elections, cuz there's political return reignite the separatists bid for independence. and how would it impact spain's political landscape? the catalonia elections on a jersey to the holding, the powerful to account as we examine the us as role in the world on o g 0 the

the are you watching out 0 reminder about top stories and saw us says it's closed light, israel. they have violated international humanitarian lowering closets, while using weapons supply, 5 american manufacturers. the state department has published along the way to review if the use of us referenced by israel's, on the south africa as well as the international court of justice to order the is really military to withdraw from reference and allow the unimpeded access of humanitarian agents strip lloyd sites, rooms and salt in the southern cities causing irreparable palm. now, the united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly voted to support palace times bid to become a full member. a $143.00 countries voted in favor of the resolution which expands

palestine rights in the united nations and calls on the security council to reconsider its membership id 9 very to the gainst in $25.00, abstained. chose israel is growing isolation on the world stage, the countries the very to the gainst the nation, including the united states. deborah is on that reports now from you and h q in you a round of applause in the united nations general assembly. after over whelming majority of member states really in favor of a resolution that says palestine qualifies for a membership. and as the security council to reconsider its bid, we did not try you on charter. we did not enact international know we just demanded to see them apply to us and have been until now denied the protection in an active pediatrics using

a prop. israel's ambassador said, any human rights or privileges bestowed on palestine would be akin to shredding the un charter. a spokesperson for the secretary general rejected this. there's many charters. there's one right here. the charters intact. it's ideals are into the draft resolution. agreed to had some symbolic privileges for palestine like allowing them to sit among full members and also some more tangible benefits. like allowing palestine to participate in most un meetings. something they could not do before. but the water down resolution, which the us voted against, specifically maintained palestine with non member observer status. full membership to the un require security council approval. last month, the us vetoed palestine is full membership, bid us contents. palestine should negotiate the issue with israel. argument reputed

by pakistan, some basset or negotiations must have a level playing field if is what is negotiating is a full member of of the united nations. so to show that this time, while the resolution over whelming, we adopted by the general assembly calls on the security council to reconsider palestine is bid for full un membership. it's unclear if they will actually do so. we should know in the next few days, but even if the council decides to reconsider it, it still faces the same obstacle as before. us has already said if necessary, they would be to it again. gabriel's on jo, how would you see it at the united nations in new york? the 2 people being killed dri,

russian shelling in the cranes northeast and khaki region. the local governess, as the town of, of, of trans which lies less than 5 kilometers from the russian border was targeted. at least 3000 people to be forced to leave the homes. ukraine's armed forces have rushed reinforcements through khaki. the credit and president of all of them is lensky. so it's fist fighting is taking place in the area. it's on home and has more now from. yes, it was in the early hours of friday morning. the russian forces a box to cross the border. i mean to north eastern ukraine in the heart of keith region. now this region is especially important because it has ukraine, 2nd largest city, how to keep the city and this, uh, uh, fonts and offensive wasn't just on the ground resume. so we have an aerial from above, and it was at villages and towns being evacuated as well on that front line on the hockey region. well, president, below them is a landscape. ukraine said that was for now. you craning defenses a holdings,

but the a fee is $52.00 was being full. obviously up which along the way, we're contacting us to biology and it's a russian launched a new way to the counter offensive in this direction. ukraine met them the with our troops per day. it's an artillery. it's important to understand that they can build up and consolidate forces in this area. it is a fact, but i'm literally come on this, you about it and calculate the cost is in order to meet the enemy with retaliatory file is odyssey there. now there was a brief hold back all the ways are scalable and then i believe that we stopped them without to re fi for the moment. we don't know yet if this is just a probing, a type by russian forces, or if this is a whole new front that's about to open up in this will, but either way, so you cry. it's a big problem. it's suffering from a severe lack of manpower and it's all me and also a real lot of west, from rate, with the lots of it's been promised lessons from the united states and from it to europe in life. but most of those,

a still yet to arrive in that window before they arrive, russian forces are expected to try and press home their advantage. they're already push pushing and slowly above the sink at all the areas of the front line. and now this looks like a new hole that ukrainian force is going to have to try and plug john home. and i would just say to keep to india, where the top coat who has gone to bail to the jail deposition leader and chief minister of the capital, you deli, offering. the head to the vows was arrested in launch. and the corruption seemed by many of the same political move by the prime minister or injury made. these governments had a general election countries known in the middle of it 7 phase parliament. you know, it could be val has being allowed to campaign, but he will be required to surrender to authorities. the game of the vase ends in june. at least 85 people have been killed during flash floods. enough gun has done most of the victims of women and children,

and the number of debt is expected to rise. football is from positive background providence in the countries, nor from friday authorities to say the funding was caused by heavy seasonal range residents. while i'm at 28, sent me a shakeup. michelle, i met a sub, a has dissolved parliament and suspended some obstacles of the constitution. he says the country is facing hard times and the tough decisions have to be made disagreements between the governments and parliament. i've led to several cabinet resignations. the biggest point of contention has been planned, changes to the general welfare system. the families of missing people have been protesting and mexico. this follows account by the mexican government to the number of people should be declared as disappear. the title has gone from over a 100, the 13000 to less than 13000 of the families say its political move ahead of elections and needs many missing mexicans on account of full gallery on a report style from mexico city,

a several 1000 people are marching right now, in the mexican capital towards the presidential palace where they're demanding answers, answers from the government about the whereabouts of their loved ones were talking about their son or daughter. in some cases, their parents, people who simply spanish one day were never heard from again, and assemblies just by their efforts that have just not been able to know what happened to their relative. so basically, a lot of them others we've spoken to today say they need to carry the names and the images of their children because they say otherwise, it's as if they never existed the government, it's just not have knowledge that these people lived and that they're no longer here, they say that is simply unacceptable. some of those slogans that we're hearing the mother's here chancing is basically if i don't look for them, i will never be able to find them. and that just speaks to the lack of supports. they feel from a government that has basically given no resources to the search for missing people, we're talking about over a $100000.00 people that are supposed to be missing and believes to be missing in

mexico, even though the government disputes that figure. but you know, dozens and dozens of tens of thousands of people are missing and these families say there's just no interest from the government in finding them. now. the other thing is that mexico is currently in an election year and no less than a month. mexico will have a new president and it's expected to be the candidate from the ruling party. so for these families, it's really important to make their presence known so that this new incoming government changed something in the approach that the government has taken to dealing with the crisis of the disappeared. and they're concerned that because of the candidates, a suspect and expected to win comes from the ruling party that may not have it not may not happen. so they feel very strongly about the need for them to have their voices really heard very loudly today. i'll just be your specs for the city police of detained the brother of peruse president anybody out. it's part of a whitening corruption inquiry. valving the proving lead a home was rated by police weeks ago because of underclass luxury goods. my brother

spectrum. and that's it from a clock apply the more of course on a website out, is there a don't come over and use the following. then let's comments and analysis to be back and some of them marketing to us to kind of the the hello. it's a rather cooling time, the weekend on the costs for new york, cyber, the cloud, sliding away from the eastern seaboard. little area of low pressure here, keeping things on the cool and cloudy side as we go through the next couple of days actually, still some lobby storms down to will south face, but these will retreat the way they will clear. as we go through west fast, i brought us guys coming in here just around georgia to the possible, say one to 25 the south for

re global, know the intertwining of money and politics campaigner andrew find state and photographer shock you do on, on active is under crisis and gone. so what is happening today is top thing on our watch. the news from now there will be people asking, how did you left it half the studio will be on script part one on on disease the the hello the laura, kyle. this is counting the cost on outages era. your week you left at the well, the business and economics this week as well as i installation deepens as tequila, holts, trade with the nation. well, that costs their economies. a lot of the countries.
