best to emissions targets and alignment case where an embryo is named as an effects and thoughts on to hong kong, jet and assign cost on charges. us tradition indicate seen as an indicates that the committee of freedom that exists the hello well can we begin this these out in the occupied westbank, where israel's largest military operation in the territory in moving 20 years has killed at least 16 palestinian since wednesday morning. the rains in palestinian cities and refugee camps and now into the 2nd day with the troops and vehicles in bold as is involved. it's raising fees that is around make. how are ya? full scale destruction also territory as it has done in gaza is radio and he says it's killed 5 palestinian sizes in

a most in the north shelves. refugee camp in the early hours of 1st day says one of the men was the leader of the 2 current brigades and arms faction linked to the small mach jihad as well. the you and sexy general has expressed concern and says israel's actions off fueling on a ready explosive situation. i'm telling you, gutierrez is judging israel to comply with international humanitarian law. gabriel alexander has moved from you and headquarters in new york. you and secretary general, antonio gutierrez, is traveling, but he has been briefed on the situation in the occupied westbank is spokes person here at un headquarters in new york says the secretary general is gravely concerned about the events in the occupied westbank. he said that the un has counted palestinians in the last 24 hours that have been killed by air strikes as well as sniper fire. now the un says that since october 7th,

they've counted $630.00 palestinians. they have been killed in the occupied westbank, but they say the last 24 hours have clearly been an escalation. we've been following the development since this morning with grave concern and are very worried about what we're seeing or humanitarian colleagues at o char warning, the people there are increasingly exposed to deadly warfare tactics that seem to exceed international standards for law enforcement or human rights colleagues remind us that in the west bank is really forces must adhere to international policing standards where um, leave full force and firearms or the last resort. it can only be used. it gets imminent threat of death or serious injury. let's go. sorry, it's another abraham. she joins us from to carry me in the occupied westbank. there is someone who lives in the west bank and has been covering as rarely, rates and attacks there for a long, long time. how would you describe these latest attacks,

especially the scale and the intensity? a lemme lemme, yes, we've been reporting on his radio ways on a daily basis. they are averaging around for the, since the war started. but this is something that is definitely on a different scale and a more difficult one than we've seen before. now only have these really forces rated for a few. d, g comes out the same time it and that rate has been going on now for its 2nd day. but also there was a lot of fear and anxiety amongst residents of refugee camp saying that sometimes no one knows what's happening to palestinians. are they killed after they've been arrested? have they've been shot while they were doing nothing? you know, yes, these ready narrative is that they want to come back to the city and fighting grooves that have been operating from it either to cut a refugee camp or is, i know some stuff here. god, but deposited in narrative, is that these really forces one that it was

a better life for these really subtler is or living in the, in the occupied to us bank. and want to remind palestinians who has the ultimate control and power we've seen aerial strikes. it's are getting palestinians in different areas. now we are heat into getting with heating, but these really forces might have withdrawn from his throne its forces from the account behind me. but we are seeing that the operations are still continuing in the account that we are overlooking here. so we can show you just a little bit of the picture that we are looking at. nothing is going on as far as we've been seeing in terms of the alternative shooting history that we've heard in exchange of fire of shots between these really forces of the policy and fighters today. it looks like it's called her, but it may be because of these really announcement that they have killed 5 palestinian fighters into cut him including a boat should. yeah, we would here in april, during

a 3 day invasion to the come where of some is really media talks about killing us with that. this is his nickname that neither of the volatility in, in the north, some sort a few decals. but then it was denied by the battalion, he was later, also targeted. he survived as another assassination at the time. but now he seems to have been killed. there's a so give him everything you've described. what is the mood of people that what are they saying to is they pick up the pieces and evaluate what has happened over the last 2 days? you know, one of the things we often deal with when these rates happen is that people who are just living in the refugee camps who have children, who are dealing with the anxiety, the pain and fear. and they really don't know how to explain to their children what's going on. how do they explain the sounds of the drones, the areas strikes that have been interesting, closer towards residential areas. how do they really make their children feel safe?

so this is, you know, the story of palestinians living under israel's occupation that has been going on for decades and decades. and we see its manifestations not only by these is really reads and the more violent manifestations. but also by the expansion of the indian is really supplements to supplement out who's the organized groups of settlers, intimidating palestinians. people who have been long saying that they feel that they've been left alone by the world being fundable, facing one of the strongest armies in the world. it writes when government that does not keep it a secret that it's really planned and main plan is to and next nuns and pushes many pos these out as possible. the difference that for us until crime and the occupied westbank. but you foreign policy chief, joseph burrell,

has responded to as well as military operations, saying it must not be used to extend what he calls the premises of a wind gauze that into the occupied westbank. he says comments made by israel's foreign minister suggesting that the temporary evacuation of palestinians from the affected areas threatened to few further instability for a minute. as ro, caps has also said his country is working with its european allies to prevent the blog from adopting anti israel decisions, pushed by anti israel elements when debt pronounce meet on the 1st day. cat says israel faces multiple threats from iran and as proxies in the region is just the free well, to stand with israel, not against it. meanwhile, the us state department is impose new sanctions link to is riley settler violence and the occupied westbank. a non government organization that's provided support for separate groups is included on that list. now, whitehouse correspond,

can we hope that has more to the bottom administration has sanctioned on n g o inside israel known as summer yosh as well as 3 members within this group. now this group is funded in part by the is really government and is affiliated with ministers bank of year as well as smart rich. we also understand that it raises money inside the united states as well as online. now, according to the bike administration, there is also another individual that has been section, allegedly for acting outside the scope of his authority. as a law enforcement officer in the west bank, he allegedly led an effort to prevent 250 pellets simians in a village from returning to that village. after the volunteers in that area walled off the village, preventing those from returning to their home. now uh the u. s. is concerned and all of this is that this ongoing and escalating settler violence is undermining

peace and security in the region. and as a result, that is why the, by ministration has taken this action, the hope is that it will leave israel to hold these individuals accountable, even as the is really government is funding. much of this operation now be is really government has taken issue with the sanctions. in fact the is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has released the statement from his office say the as really government views with b. s. at most verity the imposition of sections on the citizens of israel. the issue will be a point to discussion with the united states. we should also point out that amnesty international has also looked into these instances and says that this is part of a wider state fax campaign to displace oppress palestinians in the west bank and occupied east jerusalem. given the fact that many of these acts of violence

have heard, well, the is really military has been presents, can really help you out a 0. the white house is being now the other of delagarza, the director of the foreign policy and security program at the middle east council and global affairs here in this year with us. good to see you again. now is writing as souls in refugee camps and towns of westbank as noted, was saying its been a near daily occurrence and has intensified since october the 7th. but what we're seeing in the last few days, that's unprecedented. why launch this mass of assault on the west bank? why now needed the unprecedented but really expensive. i would say that there are 2 objectives here. first of all, does a military objective to fight to spend 2 minutes instead are operating in the west bank, but that's a broader level. this is the continuation of the war against the 1st thing in the people we've seen over the past period. the expansion of the settlement activity and increase in the settlement of items and multiple inventories statements by is

there, a leader is about the most console and so forth. this is part and parcel of the war against us taking people, showing comments yesterday from israel's foreign minister, saying the army will or the palestinians to evacuate parts of the northern occupied westbank as it continues this operation. i mean, the concern is that we may be about to see a repeat of what's been happening in gaza. of course, this is a real concern and really highlights how these really government, the current leadership is not really interested in this. the potentials he's fired strength negotiate and, and as, as expands the violence here in the west bank. and if you follow the statements closely of a, is there any, there's a re unionized palestinians and they have stated objective to expand the sacraments . and songs was, or part of the pretensions i'm drab, that is currently on for the, on their own. i, as in the west bank, do you think these ready all may have the capability to carry out to ones refunds? because now we have the, we have the golf course, and then we have what's happening with lebanon, and this would potentially be

a said front. i would say that on the, on the lebanese front with his blocking both sides and on the want, the major escalation that goes into us and then it on and so on. but i think of these are the army is capable of continuing its war and it has on expanding it in the, in the west bank because since these are kind of things, they're not really able to, to resist. and i think what we'll see over the next coming period is an expansion of these rates in the west bank and the continuation of the war and caused by itself. we sold the you come out and condemn these latest attacks in the occupied westbank. beyond that, what sort of reaction can we expect from the international community? when 10 months in $40000.00 people, the destruction of the civilian infrastructure, ex polio, by the can, suppliers the use of hunger as lo, total for all of this. and what, what we've seen as multiple condemnation from around the world. we the what the word is not able to stop by of u n. c c or i c j,

the ongoing genocide. that's because it's a strong statement from brett and he's been very outspoken about it, but actually speaks moser than words. and we haven't seen much action on the ground to stop this war. we was that had uh, the united states impose new sanctions on uh, on settlers stuff, the violence a in the occupied westbank talks me a bit more about these sanctions. i mean, what we've seen progressively sanctions being applied on settlers is divided says continued. now we have these new sanctions, how significant all day in reality, in, in detouring buttons against the palestinians. they, they really submitted some displeasure from the white house against some of the far right to extreme sentiments within the nothing you know the government, but do the same time. i'm not to the worked to stop any of the, of the violence and effective use us more broadly continues to support the is there in terms of the, the administrative supplies in terms of, uh, uh,

money in terms of others. since we haven't really seen the us the port stop, but the sanctions are seeking the displeasure against certain elements of this coordination. okay. of they'll, they'll, they'll go direct to the foreign policy and security program, at least council of global defense. thank you to goals and now we're an overnight strike by these really ami has killed at least 14 palestinians to strike on a home in the town of l. as a way to in central garza killed a young go uninsured, more than 10 people that were taken to the nearby alexa hospital and 0 by law as well as onslaught ongoing. so his killed more than $40000.00 palestinians since october, and most of them women and children to be while the wells feed program has suspended the movement of its employees off to the east. riley military targeted one of its vehicles on tuesday nights, half a net. and his reading check pointing shortly off, the stuff had a school to trunks carrying humanitarian supplies from the come up with southern

border crossing the vehicle was hit at least 10 times. no one was injured. the w p says it was targets of despite coordinating its movements with the is right ministry. let's go honey. my mood. he joins us from darrow by the in central garza honey. so bring us up to date. felicia strikes this morning. yes. familiar where we keep about monitoring the developments of overnight at fox all the way to early hours of this morning across the northern part of the strip, particularly injured valley and in gauze and city. and here in the central area where the is really military stepped up itself, air attacks across the air is by the end of the why that that's an area that is very close, that they just did it by a city where a residential home was destroyed by at least one bomb that was fire did it, and it, when, which we have at least one person killed and several injuries. and that that person

happened to be a little girl that was pulled up from under levels are really dead as it suffocated by the dust. and the, the huge amount of rubbers, there was, she was buried under, on a different attack. these really military, it systematically destroyed buildings and the eastern part of did it. but i said in what seems to be a clearance of the area, something that has been feeding into would be, is really military has announced of the early 8 weeks of this genocide of the word, the establishment of a buffer zone that extends it from the northern parts all the way to the area between garza and, and each of the area that the egypt garza borders in giovanni, a 5 people reported killed in and a taco and a is it been sold at buildings and people, the majority of civilians inside their residential homes. right now, they are exposed to deadly conflicts that involved unpredictable phone in bonds, the art galleries, and the,

the fact that they did these really military has been deployed via skype predators to the keeps the chasing people from one place to another and leaving them with no choice to seek show there isn't a protection at elsewhere. in fact, what has been happening is that there's really military, how does done everything possible, destroying the size of the human interior phones across the guster miller here in defense on the area. and the city of unit just causing much more difficult living conditions for the displays, the people who are ready to struggle on daily basis and suffer from the attacks perhaps the most before you talk. and once we will look at some of this, but it's got a conversion, get from garza city to attack on an area that are known as a tale. and in the neighboring house, in which the, the, the, the full facility was set on fire and that you could clearly hear the screams in from inside the hotel. and the neighboring house is appealing for help. the from the civil defense and from the paramedics to save them from the burning building. a

people reported skilled in that particular attack in gauze. is it that the location of that hotel? is it the western part of gus in an area that has been a designated safe for people to evacuate to within the past months as there's been a military continue to operate in eastern and the southern eastern part of garza city? and of course, you have the massive pressure on hospitals and medical facilities. i see you outside, i likes the hospital. what is the situation that, how is it coping as well? we can safely say that deluxe the hospital right now has been completely pushed out of service, just suite, a brief, a tour inside the hospital. we've seen them debates. we see in the, the lack of medical supplies. we've seen that there is real, insufficient medical stuff inside the hospital, and that's all because of the mass evacuation force at orders that affords the back ocean orders by these really military. within the past,

the 3 days has pushed it through one not only of the hospital and inside the facility, but also at its vicinity to move toward the western part of the city and more do v uh, the underside route, refuge account where the vast majority of patients and injuries have lived the hospital, but that has only added more pressure on us on this small health facility that's allowed the hospital where we, we reported it from yesterday and we've seen how ovary crowd is, is the hospital according to a health uh, health officially from the hospital describe the situations as a wide uh, traumatic right. now we're talking about a health facility that accommodate a maximum of a 100 keys on an in daily basis. right now it is a struggling to provide medical services to close to 3000 cases on daily basis. that is too much on the health facility that is limited in terms of a space in terms of medical stuff. and in terms of the supplies that are available out of the hospice at this charitable health facilities and doesn't have the

capacity to accommodate this large number of people, there is a re, a risk that patients and interest arriving to allow that are at risk of losing their life because of, of the overcrowded face and because of the lack of medical care, nothing certainly needed right now to help allow that is the only operation of hospital right now that it provides medical care for this large number of people. honey. my mood that for us in there all by the end central cause i thank she, it's a wrong, says humans who sees have agreed to allow damage, time cutting, leaking oil into the red sea to be tired. the greek flagged vessel was caring a 1000000 barrels of crude oil when it was attacked, was hit by multiple projectiles, fine from humans, ports to see if a data last week. the crew were rescued off to binding the ship the saying all because he is a political commentator and the who, the fast specialists. he says, well the who these have shown lenient stands on is writing ships,

remains on change. i believe that the, this the stage it shows that the amenities actually they do can actually about the environment and they don't even want to to, to kill any of the crow. that's why they all of that the things destroy. yeah. but they have set a ban against the oldest. they've been a company that is dealing with is right. um this ship, actually it has a broken uh that's a bunch of clothes the chip was located at the door. the is it, i am a product, but the go uh the, the, the company or the shipping company that owns uh, the chip. uh, with the, uh, quote at delta. uh which based in greece it has actually allowed one of its chip at, on the, and a month ago, add to the, instead of one of the, is it not any boat? i'm just exactly with them and these are the right to do. they actually have formed at the beginning a band against any is that 80 link zip. and then a 2nd band was against any a ship that's going towards any boat. and is that i,

despite the uh, the, the nationality of the ship and the, voted the baton was to the book at any shipping company that's dealing with is it i so does a month of, of the ship was going toward is that i but as long as any of the fleet of that you've been, company has it, it's designed to stay the way that i this means that the ship, we come on that attack of the union troops all capturing more territory in russia's coast region. the goals are carried out. hundreds of long range strengths and russian territory thus despise some nato countries refusing to allow keith to use western supplied munitions to do so. grands president is judging weston palace to reconsider not policy. that goes back to the most part. we are working with partners to supply the front line, supply it not only with width and not only which channels,

but also with the power of i unity or the we continue to insist the restriction should be lifted on long range strikes. will help us to in the war soon as possible in a fair way for ukraine and the world as a whole lease for seeing people have been injured in a russian attack using a guided bomb. it happened in the town of compound skin, east and ukraine. the bloss damaged the city whole. another person was killed in a ukrainian attack and rushes belgrade region that scheduled to us to jabari. she's live in moscow for us store. so can you stop by giving us any more information on this uh, belgrade attack? yes, according to the local governor in belgrade, richard, one person has been killed and 2 others injured to follow him shouting by, you prayed, and forces in the town of shep aquino. in the belgrade region, now this town is about 7 kilometers from the crating and border in belgrade region

in russia. this is course is not the 1st time this town has been targeted by showing there's been continuous attacks that has been ongoing since there was a state of emergency declared in belgrade region about 2 weeks ago. and there's been a lot of civilians that has been injured during these attacks. the local officials say that the state of emergency continues and that they can, they are evacuating certain parts of the region, including at least 3 settlements. that has been declared completely, no goal zones. as a result of the continuous attacks that are being carried out by you creating forces, have to remember that belgrade region shares a border with ukraine that is about 540 kilometers. so there is a large area that is effected by the continuous attacks that the printing forces are carrying out. and those of you spend some time in task uh and loading the boat

. uh, what, what are the russians saying about these various ukrainian incursions and the fact that they gaining more territory into russia as well? the russian defense ministry is not sharing any information about the territory that they're losing on the deck, the ukrainians claims to be capturing. what we are getting from the russian officials is that they are preventing ukrainian forces from making further. mount advancements in the car screech and it's very unclear about where the front lines are in the car, squeeze you in at the moment we get various reports from a local journalist on the ground as well as residents who have fled to their towns and villages in the crust region at so the russian narrative continues to be one that is that the invasion or the terrace invasion, as they call this, why you created forces which was launched on august 6th, is not making any gains in the curse region. and they are managing to repel further

advancements by ukraine, new forces. but of course ukraine is saying that they are moving forward slowly, gaining more territory as they move into curse regions. so the battle of the narratives continue as i was. a the battle on the ground goes on. what is clear is that there are over a 130000 local residents from the curse region that has been forced to flee their homes. and they are being settled in various other parts of russia, as well as within curse city. so it's a very fluid situation in the fighting continues. when it will stop is not clear because ukraine has said that their goal is to establish a buffer zone. it's not clear where the buffer zone will begin and end for their forces. what is clear is that they are continuing to claim to make further advance as well. russia is disputing those claims. ok, thank you for that dosage vari. the 1st and most go is now the use is the use of

drones and ukraine is becoming an integral parts of the war based. the russian and ukrainian forces are trying to utilize the latest inventions to gain an advantage for the troops. as a result, ukraine's drone industry is growing foss with new designs being developed almost daily. alex gets helpless reports now from keith on display for all to see the latest generation of land c and the address being shown to the ukranian public. the war and ukraine is triggered an explosion of designs and now hundreds of small companies. so how did work developing unmanned systems that will help you create in sold to get the edge of the battle field? they so desperately need my mind more where you want them to send them or we have to fight with machines with knowledge mot with people. when we send our fest prototypes, the guys gave feedback. there was a lot of information in the process that and tried to ensure that knowledge was incorporated to keep the guys safe. i'm around to the gathering of informational books and what doesn't is collected on the front blowing to they've given to design

and then tweak existing models to produce something more useful to ukraine's on forces. this feedback is of vital components and rapidly speeding up design. i'm, while you're doing cool, i think many fixtures need to offer solutions based on feedback. but this week is also in parallel bases from the top there is communication to the manufacturer, but some ideas from the manufacturer can go the other way. the bottom up strategies yielding tangible results relevant. the defense industry telling design is what it wants. and they'll ask you for designs. and we'll take to him to be approved loose code line to issue to many small companies competing with each other to produce working models that are quickly improved on the result is not so much a drug at pollution revolution drone does ally and it's not just about weapons the seeing here is the sensitivity,

as altering vehicle can transport food into munition, to ukrainian units on the front lines. it can also take good soldiers quickly from the battlefield to waiting aid stations. the 3rd year of the war and ukraine is seen in the explosion in designs of online systems, from se and land. what sort of his crude weapons, and are extremely sophisticated integrates at all levels of the battlefield, but not just weapons. they could also deliver supplies and save lives. how these could topless, how to 0 t. so head on the algae 0, the venezuelan opposition holds another riley in the capital a month off to the disputed re election of president nicholas madura frustration on the streets of argentina, off the president. how the admin 8 vows to veto an increase in spending on pensions . for elderly people, the

had a low that is lots of summer weather to be enjoyed across the europe at the moment with temperatures. so the launch the above average and even higher the further east we go. now we bought an area of high pressure reading launch. we find dry, sunny skies. it's a central pot, severe it, but it's around the edges where we are seeing what the weather was storm sweeping across some of the bulk and states. we have some amber warnings out for those storms. east of assess the lunacy. so what's the weather as well? looking around the black sea, you can see that sunshine as we had for the west. some on several weather, however, will sweep across scandinavia some heavy rain to come here, and your showers are from northern parts of brisson on the island of island. but still lots of sunny spells with hazy sunshine, particular for the southeast that some welcome, what weather is slipping across spain. we've also seen some of that heavy rain

affecting northern parts of fronts, but lots of rooms here are skies for much of a city. we have seen some storms here and we'll see those temperatures continue to rise up for places like australia. we have good high temperature warnings out here for bosnia and herzegovina as well as correlation. and if we look at the 3 day in vienna, we'll see that heat with us through to sat today. the wave of criminal violence has export, with drug talk tells, raising the challenging of forwards, prison riots. political assassinations, ecuador has plunged from one of the safest countries in latin america to one of the most dangerous, with the government declaring war on the guns and corruption. the people in power investigates with causes behind the search and violence. and it's devastating impact on the nation, ecuador, on the fire, on that jersey, you know,

as the world economy, those struck for those with a strong result. indonesia is where such resolve about the right place for your business to get off the brace. otherwise. with this strategic downstream industry on the clock in the news, your better tomorrow the the, [000:00:00;00] the,

you're watching out, is there a mind default tops or is this our, as well as largest military operation in the occupied westbank and decades has killed at least 18 palestinians. the army says that killed 5 fights is the most in the north sham refugee camp on passing in gaza. overnight strikes by these really all may have killed at least 15 palestinians, an attack on a home in the town of ours though, ida, till the young go. an engine more than 10 people. and taken seeing alexa on an east and ukraine, at least 14 people have been injured, and a russian attack used a gun and foam. it happened in the town of cookies and about pessimists killed in a ukrainian and talked in russia as belgrade region and alignment forwarding south korea's constitutional quotes has ruled the country's climate change, no, was unconstitutional. it says more quantitative emission targets and needed for future generations. the case was filed by 200 people,

including 62 children active as the keys, the government failing to meet legally binding commitments to reduce carbon emissions, violating human rights. or let's go to our corresponding unit kim, she's outside the quotes in. so this is quite a remarkable case a to consider exactly the vedic, reached yeah, hi, molly, you can probably hear the press conference that's being held by a group of activities reaction to this fresh constitutional court burdick. it is a partial victory for them, as they have contended that the carbon emission targets that the government has thus far is not enough to protect their basic rights, which is the right to live, to the piece of his happiness and environmental rights. now it's zoned in on the country is climate prices, laws noting that it has no carbon reduction targets beyond the year

2030. and that this is not consistent with the spirit of the constitution. and this was a judgment that was not in this is final. now south korea's you when the commitment which is legally binding, as you noted, is a reduction of 40 percent of 2018 levels to be reached by the year 2030. the court says this is fine and is not sufficient. as those 200 plaintiffs had contended the initial reaction from civic groups that of, of cautious jubilation with one of the sales persons breaking down in tears as she began her statement. this is a very hard spot journey of several years in a campaign to try to get the government to do more to make more actions award. a warming climate trends that frankly they see unfolding around. so you just have the government reacted to this verdict,

do they intend to comply or yeah, they will be mandated now to comply and there is a deadline set of february 28th 2026. this is the deadline of the constitutional court has given the government as well as the legislative body of the national assembly here to come up with revisions to that climate law. to address is carbon, emission goes beyond again the year 2030. now, critics have said that even that existing pool of 40 percent from 2018 levels that the country is simply not on track to even meet that given it's heavy reliance on fossil fuels. one energy, i think, for example, putting south korea as the top 2 carbon emitter per capita a monkey 20 nations. but again, this constitutional court ruling gives the active as

a mandate now. and they said that one more action from the government, raising awareness to change the, the world that the young people will insurance. okay. many thanks to that unit kim, the 1st outside the quote is sold to hong kong. now, where to jen? this who let and now closed online news outlets all in court on charges of sedition, sion, pre glen and patrick line, where the edison is of the independent publication style news. they've been charged with conspiracy to publish materials critical, amazing trial as seen as an erosion of press freedom and the semi autonomous chinese to see us guys who are reported laura westbrook. she joins us live from hong kong sonora. we're still waiting for that verdict, but this is just the latest, isn't it? in a series of cases aiming at crossing press, freedom and home phone. yes,
