israel is expanding its operation in central in western rasa. the military says it's in full operational control of the border area with egypt known as the philadelphia card or you see it there on your map. the area is 14 kilometers long and intended to be a demilitarized buffer zone, running along the border between gaza and egypt. in the united nations security council has meant to discuss these with tier deteriorating security situation in gaza. algeria has said to propose a draft, the security council resolution calling for israel to stop the killing in rough and bassett, or is condemned. israel's attack on attempt can't bear on sunday, which killed 45 people. we decided the whole world world of what the news lately, offensive, and bluff would mean a new pause such an offensive and yet is while proceed with the consequences that

your old full so i'm available. human suffering is line one spell. this thing is to understand that if they remain in gaza, that is the feet, death, or the displacement. maybe i should say, death and displacement displacement and when will it be enough? what other level of cruelty must be leached before this assault is finally blocked to and then there is no deadline imposed by legality of actuality humanity. that is why it has not cost if it's not costing the red line set by the entire world on the left, and it is the duty of this concept to uphold, that's what line human lives of it stick to uphold. that's what line and to take decisive action to force is way to hold its military offensive and to a low its occupation forces and to ensure an immediate cease fire. there was still for a full how much battalions in rough or,

and many of the hostages are being held the hundreds of terrace shots, the tunnels have been discovered while tens of how much terrace are being eliminated. and i wish to also point out that is where recently we turn the bodies of motors, hostages to the families, bodies found in an unreal facility in garza, in order to accomplish our mission, we have no choice but to route out the terrace and southern gauze. kristen salumi as more from un headquarters in new york a this was a monthly meeting, a regularly scheduled meeting of the security council on the middle east, but it was the 1st open security council meeting since the rafa air strikes over the weekend that killed burn, dismembered dozens of palestinians, including many women and children, and that attack was widely condemned by many council members. and many of them also reference the fact that the international court of justice had ordered

a halt to any military activity. and rafa just days before it happened. so notably, algeria did in that meeting call for the counsel in the international community to support the i. c. j with a security council resolution and the interest of holding up international law. he said he was tabling a concise resolution to do just that. so no vote has been scheduled on the jury and draft resolution as of yet uh, at the same time, france has been circulating its own draft for a more comprehensive long term resolution focused on a way forward for a 2 state solution. and interesting to point out that the council was briefed by the un special coordinator for the middle east peace process toward venice land. and he pointed out that no attempt to address the humanitarian and security situation in gaza will last or survive or be effective unless there is

a long term permanent solution. and that address is causes political future. palestinian groups have declared gaza a famine stricken zone and they want the united nations to do the same. and g o, as in professional unions, described the catastrophic situation in the strip it abraham reports from ramallah in the occupied west, back a dozen of palestinian and jose here the occupied west bank and the besieged guys to announce the call to declare garza assignments 3 can zone calling upon the palestinian government to adopt this declaration and hold these radio, occupation accountable for what is happening now in the b c's goes us through and to join to talk more about that. i'm joined here now by o. b. i body, he's one of the organizers of this campaign. i want to ask you why this call and why today the school? is that a reflection on the reality?

i'm guessing about a student, a civil society. we have of, of $12.00 to $3.00 organizations from kids that have signed and called for this, including part of the non governmental organizations that work, the biggest coalition of somebody for us to in civil society. calling upon the policy and government and do an agencies to declare that as a, as a feminist took an area. this is the video of the people, people are having causative, and that she can reaching every aspect of life. the one has to declare, simon simon, is not the technical issue. we have witnessed 7, we are experiencing salmon and boasting and civil society professionals that are present in every aspect and together have raised their voices saying that we are experiencing as opposed to me and people's timing that you and come up get seems to access all together in order to deliver the 8, this is their own words. actually in order to measure the health situation of the people that have sick that has been completely destroyed them together. there's

almost non functional gathering and reporting system and non functional and health sector. so what we have talking about is that we are raising the we are bringing them in, we are calling on the u. n. we are calling on governments that are supporting this genocide enough is enough. and why do you think the policy and authority is yet to declare guys the assignments to can edit a disaster zone? if you me? well, i think the test 2 things. the 1st swan is that the palestinian, minnesota is, is like an all context policy and the issue of gaza. we are seeing very minimal action to go. everything goes on. this is actually for us, kansas. we are seeing the, from the city and i thought the put this focus on other areas. well, that's main focus should be on goza, on the 2nd thing that we thing for the you and lead that was never come there. you and organizations by their own words, they don't have access, they cannot reach the people, they don't even come up. they come up even delivered on both of the 4th the 4th

till then like of the cases we documented them get the city of clean water for them to drink. how are they supposed to know if there's coming on? we as low comes we as local i civil society. know what time and is we are experiencing it. deluxe a trucks is only a couple of 100 meters away and the end of some boulder. and is why the fluids policy is depriving us of that i fly. thank you so much my a booty. he is one of the organizers of the campaign to the clear gaza assignments rick in area or a disaster zone. let's not forget the people here in the middle are often looking at their t be seeing the image is coming out of gauze and they feel they tell us that they're helpless and they want more from the palestinian authority to help aid the people in the besieged cause us to do that, but he manages ita from a law the occupied westbank palestine. the

voting has been extended in some parts of south africa because of the large turned out to the general election. president 0 around a post as african national congress is facing a serious challenge for the 1st time in 3 decades. soaring unemployment, rolling power cuts in violent crime or key issues along the south african voters for me to mail it has this report from so with the immediately off the cost of these votes. and so went to prison and sold on the 4th. so was back on the campaign trail for his party. the african national congress will and see a final push for a party in trouble. this is the day when south africa decide, decide on the future of our country. who should lead the government of south africa. and i have no doubt whatsoever in my heart of hearts that the people will once again,

invest confidence in the african national congress to continue to lead to this country. but the latest polls indicate the party may struggle to reach a 50 percent majority in parliament. and if it fails, it would be forced to form a coalition. it's government for 50 years with much of its support, tracing back to its origins as on the duration movement, opposing apartheid in south africa. so that demographic is changing nearly 28000000 people are registered to vote. many of them for the 1st time. it's august the 4th time and we don't really understand. so you know, what kind of politics that well, and we're trying to gather as much information as we can draw and research pretty as a democracy is a very long way. that'd be tom. so i just want to continue to help our country, you get to a better place. but politicians and officials are concerned. many young people may stay away from the polls. it's a high unemployment rate, especially among the young is and good many of them to use uh,

an important part of the selection clearly because as you go through the demographic, the younger you all the less likely you are to identify with the n c for historical reasons, moreover, about 7 or 8000000 young south africans, i'm the fuzzy of decline to register for this bird. so that's part of the eligible voting population. i'm not registered, they didn't effect that back on electro democracy. so address issues like corruption lacked last day economy constant. paul looked at some crime unlikely to influence their vote. opposition parties are hoping for a high turn out the polls to grow their support and other things, and know what turnouts makes. save of the governing proxy. as many of it's supposed to have a long been loyal to wait, but many of the votes has been spoken to say they will change. the most significant change may be the end of one party dominance and uncertainty to the amc and it's liter sudle. remo parsa freedom of ultra 0,

so it is go to mike hannah, who has been following this day of voting and mike, you're currently at the results operation center in the mid rand. what's happening there of the? well, this is not a center. this is where all the results will come in and on the board behind me there you will get the results in real time as they collated and finished collating . so that will start happening in coming dollars as a result, start coming in and getting counted. now what do we do know at this point is that voting is continuing at some 60 percent of the voting booths. now, the, in the independence election commission announced earlier that anybody who is in a queue at the time that the polls close, which is over an hour ago now, will be able to vote. now we saw that we will have to nearby pole here in the case of the disappearing crowd for those is ordinarily a broad costs. and what has happened while i was talking to the camera,

is that officials behind me moved over a 1000 people into the school grounds itself, closing the gates so that they know that everybody who is in the queue will be able to vote. and nobody else can join the q off to the cut up with a voting time. now that i imagine is the sort of system that is happening at the voting booths throughout the country. but what we do know in at least 60 percent of those voting is continuing until the last person who is in the queue at 9 o'clock local time cost to his or her to mike, can you, you know, the story so well, i was hoping you could give sort of pull back the curtain from our viewers about how south africans talking about this selection. you not just when they, when they don't have the playing microphones of during this, right. when they're in their comfort zones with friends, family, what kind of debates are they having? how are they talking about the selection? well, the debates is how to get

a better life than who is going to provide that to life. now this is the 7th election since democracy since 1994. the amc has swept each of those selections. the is the current public debate that in this case the agencies facing a very real election challenge. it has been in government for this period of time and yet many believe that it has not deliberate as it should have deliberate. the amc has a acknowledge mistakes that it's made in the past, but continues to insist that it will deliver on its promises. should it get voted in as the majority party again, but why don't have this so much discussion about this at the moment is the fact that the parties are talking about forming coalition is to take on the a and c o l. sports, the amc into forming a coalition with one of the party if it doesn't get to 50 percent majority. but the amc itself remains confidence that that is within the public as

a whole historic memory. but it was the amc that was an operation organization that battled against the pond. take 10 in the end, one b a and see, let that struggle. and there is among many stole that a glimmering memory of that with a v a n. c can continue to bank on that and the selection. well, that's something we hate to be finding out in a few hours. yeah, absolutely. it's going to be so interesting to watch the results as they come. and you told us that we should get a good idea of the results in the next 18 to 24 hours, maybe early, or you're at the results operation center. so we'll be checking back in with you. thank you so much, mike. i is still a head on alpha 0 or rate the jury in new york begins deliberating, and donald trump push money case. he insists the trial is unfair. nature's power on display,
