there is a state of emergency and across the region after a major incursion by ukraine will be reporting from moscow. and the former cap land leader carlos ridgemont is back in belgium. having avoided a risk in spain. the . so we'd begin in southern garza where the is really military is launched a new ground defensive in the city of hon. eunice and threatened to forcefully operate against palestinian fighters there. the army says it has targeted more than 30 sites a day after issuing evacuation orders for the city, tens of thousands of palestinians, some displaced multiple times have been forced to flee yet again. they say nowhere and gaza is safe, is rarely a tax. and the central and southern parts of this trip on friday have killed at least 8 palestinians. alpha 0 is honey. my mood is inside the gaza strip in hon. unice honey. what's happening there as
12:02 pm
well? is really ongoing intense bombing campaign in eastern hon. eunice, coupled with the limited ground offensive still at the eastern part of the city is a really cause in civilian casualties and pushing people into further internal displacement. unfortunately, this has been going on for quite some time now is particular for the past month we see, and this is the 4th time, the city of hon. eunice is experiencing a ground offensive bite. is really military after a major one day to really destroy the city of han, you and it's including it's public facilities and host facilities. mainly we're talking about nasr hospital, but there is also a concerned right now which is people are, are experiencing this deep sense of permanent displacement. the fact that we're talking about a span of golf police that 10 days people we're making doorway back to an area though there's really a military how to really operated there and destroyed the vast majority of it,
12:03 pm
including their, their homes, the public facilities. they evacuation centers and which displays families were, were stay where sheltering and now they are pushed into further internal in force displacement. the fear that it's been a growing for the past month. so this is part of a permanent displacement, part of what a larger is really planned to push people or push palestinians out of their homeland is really military is conducting heavy air attacks in the area right now when we could hear it clearly the once in a while the, the explosion resulting it from the ongoing car killer. that is, go in every 5 minutes an explosion would go off as a result of these heavy artillery. but people are making their way to the center part of the city to the western area. here at the mos evacuations on and the fear right now if the, the operation continues for the coming day. is this a space right here behind me, this is part of an las evacuations on
12:04 pm
a full lead. some how it saves area, relatively safe for people. this part of the larger area, but we'll see here more people pouring into this. they are running it from the horror of the attacks of the, by these really military there. and also the reports of the people who did not have a choice. didn't have any place to go to because after 5 or 7 or 10 times of displacement, they get to the point where there isn't really any safer place. as garza have turned into a killing box. everywhere they go. there will either either be starved to death or be bombed it relentlessly. honey, my mood reporting from fun, eunice. thank you very much, honey. the leaders of guitar, egypt in the united states, have issued a joint appeal to homeless and israel calling for a g as a ceasefire agreement to be finalized. it says the time has come to conclude the ceasefire and hostages and detainees released steal our teams of work tires
12:05 pm
tirelessly over many months to forge a framework agreement that is now on the table. and only the details of implementation need to be concluded. it goes on to say we have called on both sides to resume urgent discussions on thursday, august 15th in doha, or cairo, and implement the agreement without further delay. i'm the so who joins us from jordan's capital in amman because these really government has banned out from 0 from reporting inside israel. i'm the what's these really governments thing about this new push by the, all the mediators to try and get a deal to as well. so it's not just a push by the mediators, but in fact, it's a push by the heads of state of the countries that are essentially spearheading the ceasefire negotiations for both sides. so it was quite significant. the timing of it was also significant. we'll get into that in just a 2nd, but these really reaction was quite swift,
12:06 pm
quite quicker statement immediately from these really prime minister's office saying, but nothing, you know, who will indeed be dispatching a delegation next thursday, august 15, either to cairo, or to do or how to sit down with these mediators discuss what the gaps still remaining are and try to move forward. now let's talk about the timing and the significance of all of this one quite significant, but it was the 3 heads of state, the meat of cup of egypt in president. and of course, the american president as well. but it comes as israel was anticipating some sort of retaliatory attack by the guardians, by his, by law, by the who these in yemen perhaps. so there was a huge fear of regional turmoil, of a larger escalation, surround the entire region throughout the entirety of the middle east. so they're trying to quell tensions. and even the united states has said the regional calm can be obtained through a ceasefire and gaza. but there has been some push back within these really government. you have members of the far right, like the countries finance minister bits and it smelt rich. who's
12:07 pm
a warning that's in yahoo, not to quote, fall into the dangerous trap of mediation, saying that is real needs to continue the war on gaza despite the fact that more than nearly 40000 palestinians have been killed. i'm not, you say israel is going to dispatch a delegation. so that's supposed to be next thursday, august 15th. but we've been through this before. and what matters is whether or not that delegation is empowered to make a deal on behalf of netanyahu's government. so far they, they haven't been right. it hasn't worked. do you have any signs? are there any signs that netanyahu might be ready to make a deal this time? well, it depends who you ask if you ask these really public who has been told almost weekly about it is nothing y'all prolonging the war for political gain. a vast majority of those respond and say yes, that he is holding off on a deal, extending the war for own political purposes. however,
12:08 pm
the is really delegation. those who are involved in it anonymously have spoken out to was really media and have said that whatever mandate they were given by nothing yahoo was not flexible, was not even one they couldn't negotiate with. they have gone to previous meetings, under pressure from the americans and nothing yahoo just have sent them to listen not to negotiate. in recent months, there was a little bit of movement towards a ceasefire deal, but again it had failed time and time again. these really slips from us for adding amendments. when we don't know that to be true, what we do know is that benjamin netanyahu himself released a long list of non negotiable. initially it was for and then there had been items that were added to the list. so these were essentially non starters for him, us who wants to cnn to the war, and that's a young when he is really to say the war has to continue. so there are a lot of bridges to try and go over now as these rallies and how mass are coming to
12:09 pm
the table with the mediators to try and find some sort of resolution here. we're going to mark august 15th, on our calendars, there's a lot that could happen between now and then as the past has shown us a honda. so who reporting from? i'm on. thank you very much. around me. corey, from the american university of a root says pressure as mounting on us president joe biden, and the democrats to secure a ceasefire deal. or it's significant because you have had all 3 heads of state, send this together to the 2 parties. i might have some unless and you know, and the basically ordering them to get their act on the road and meet and by next thursday, the 15th and the framework is worked out. they said, and they need to work out the details now all together, which i think is been clear for months and months. we've known what the framework as and we know what the,
12:10 pm
what the agreement is going to be. there was only one major, you know before, which is what this really is the kind of an area totally or just partly or cube terms, forces somewhere this has to be worth to, but probably they have to get out totally. but so yes, i think it's versus, i mean, i also think the time is unbelievably significant. why the 15th? i think it's because the 2 most desperate people in the world now for a cease fire, other than the palestinians are coming to harrison just in genocide. joe biden, as he is well known of the us, now they're desperate to have the ceasefire happen. why is the 15 so i want them to start because the democratic party convention starts on chicago on the 18th, and the 19th of does a 22nd. they have to produce a democratic party platform which will shape pamela harris, his campaign,
12:11 pm
which will also define a jo biden's legacy and possibly get the genocide purpose out of his uh uh, out of his name in japan. the annual ceremony has taken place to commemorate the us dropping an atomic bomb on maga. zaki, which marks the end of the 2nd world war. but the cities decision to exclude these really ambassador from the event has caused a diplomatic spat. rob mcbride reports to ensue ring summit temperatures, people gathering nagasaki to solemnly remember the dropping of the 2nd, the atomic bomb, but forced upon to capitulate, ending the 2nd world war conspicuously absent, the us ambassador, choosing don't to attend in protest at the exclusion of israel's ambassador the us is accused the organizes of politicizing the event by excluding israel, but the city says the decision was taken for fear of any protest. i'll come on that
12:12 pm
and go down to this decision is absolutely not a political one. it is only so we can conduct the ceremony smoothly under a solemn atmosphere, the dropping of a single atomic bomb on the city. on august, the 9th 1945 killed more than 70000 people, latest reports from the japanese 3 days earlier. the 1st atomic bomb dropped on the city of hit ashima killed 140000 pieces commemoration in that city was attended by the way, the ambassador, which prompted a protest by people opposed to his presence and to israel's war on gaza in washington. the state department has stood by the us and basset as decision not to attend the event and august saki in solidarity with as well. so i thought it was important that these really master b invited us investors of other countries have been invited at no country that should have been singled out to not be invited to the celebration. in fact,
12:13 pm
the ambassadors of russia and bella roost were also excluded because of the war in ukraine. ambassadors from the americas western allies sent letters protesting a decision that seemingly puts israel in the same category. that i think it was a political decision about one based of security to draw a moral equivalency between brochures and israel. one country that invaded versus one country that was a victim of invasion, us on pass it along with his rotation is way the counterparts instead of 10 did another commemoration nathan, nagasaki bombing held in tokyo, rob mcbride out of their russia, has declared the federal emergency and it's cross region after ukrainian troops cross the border earlier this week and carried out attacks. state tv showed footage of people packing their belongings and leaving their homes. there are reports. russian. civilians came under fire while in their cars. moscow says hundreds of
