>> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. it's monday, december the 18th. 9:00 a.m. here in london, 11:00 a.m. in israel where u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin is expected to arrive in israel with meetings with key israeli officials over the war with hamas. >> a u.s. official said he'll have debates over the ongoing battle and the milestones and what to drill down in efforts to boost the military aid to gaza. >> the palestinian ministry of health has said the death toll has climbed to 19,000. it doesn't distinguish between combatants and civilians, but says 70% are women and children. that includes this neck video hard to watch. >> it comes from north gaza where a senior official in the health ministry says at least 24

people were killed and dozens more wounded in what was thought to be an israeli air strike on sunday. he said a house with displaced families was hit. elliott gotkine joins us with the latest. brings up to date on the expectations, why is it different between the numerous talks held between israelis over the last week? >> well, there were been plenty of call from president biden and secretary blinken and also from defense secretary lloyd austin, calling for israel to take more care, to try to minimize civilian casualties and boost military aid. and i suppose secretary austin's visit is designed to redouble that pressure on israel. we have seen some news, to be fair, for example, over the weekend for the first time, humanitarian aid went directly from the crossing into the gaza victim. but the amount of aid going into gaza, still around half what it

was before october the 7th and the humanitarian situation obviously is much more severe than back then. on top of that, in terms of minimizing civilian casualties, lloyd austin will want to get specifics as to how israel is prosecuting the war against hamas and what conditions it's taking to minimize casualties and what the plan is moving forward. when will israel consider it to be job done, moving into the next phase of the operation which is expected to be much lower intensity and they'll also be talking about the region of the situation as well. >> in terms of netanyahu's position, it's softening slightly, is that just the nature of the war? or that he's having to shift in the face of what the u.s. is putting on him in terms of pressure? but also the incidents like over the weekend or the last couple of days where the hostages were killed by idf soldiers and misidentified? >> i think there's some areas where there's low-hanging fruit for him to kind of apiecpease o

show he's listening and give aid or reduce casual this and if those will translate into waiver in his position and that is that the war will go on unless hamas can no longer pose a threat to israel. as far as the hostages, the idf killing three hostages found wandering around a battlefield with a makeshift flag held aloft. that is something that netanyahu came over criticism with, there were protests on saturday evening, again, demanding that the government make it the number one priority, to bring those hostages back home. and we are seeing some movement,

we saw the held of mossad meeting with the qatari prime minister to try to get some kind of truce and also to get the hostages home. as we're seeing right now, we're seeing defense secretary lloyd austin in tel aviv, meeting with some, you know -- well, u.s. officials -- officials there. and he's going to be going from there to the defense ministry. it's about a 20, 30-minute drive. there's a lot of traffic, usually, but no doubt they'll be clearing the highway in order to get to the israel headquarter where is he's meeting with his counterparts and then bennie gans who came in and to meet with the unity and the united fronts as israel fights hamas. >> okay. we'll get some of that.

think, elliott. >> the world health organization says gaza's al shifa hospital is completely overwhelmed and is barely functional. the w.h.o. participating in a joint u.n. mission to deliver medicine and materials and medical supplies. >> they described it as a dire situation. calling the emergency room department, quote, a bloodbath. patients are unable to receive pain management and are being treated on the floor. new patients arriving any minute, here's more from a w.h.o. official. >> this is the current situation in al shifa hospital. in the emergency department which is completely packed with patients as you can see. there are only five ambulances working in gaza right now. and patients themselves presenting on donkey carts, on stretchers, being walked down the road. there's very few staff. hundreds of patients awaiting surgery. it's just an unbelievable

situation. this is a hospital in need of resuscitation. >> the world health organization representative in best bank in gaza, he joining us from jerusalem. it does feel as though whenever we get new images out from these hospitals they're more and more dire. >> yeah, thank you very much for having me. i just came back from two weeks in gaza where my team is -- most of it is in the south. and one in the north. and we're incredibly concerned. i'll get back to al shifa. but most what we're concerned about is the shrinking of space due to military hostilities. we're hearing the war coming into gaza. the hostility is making it almost incredibly difficult, it's very unsafe to move supplies, staff and patients.

so delays admissions to hospitals. let me give you some figures. the health system in gaza is on their knees, the hospital has 25 which are not functional. there's only seven partially functional in the south which is now the back bone for almost 2 million people. and four minimally function in the north. al shifa, we just saw that information the day before. and we have reports that al aqua hospital and another hospital currently besieged. when you look at primary care, only 25% are functional. what happens in the north, like one hospital from the other hospital, they call it dysfunctional, cannot be a blueprint for the south.

hospitals are extremely overwhelmed everywhere. everywhere i've gone, we talk about 200%, 300% occupancy rates. you talk about trauma wards, even from the two major referral hospitals in the south, the complex in european gaza. the hospital snneeding the most essentially medical supplies. they look like a horror zone. and even there, people treated on the floor. they lack everything. they even lack water and food for patients. there's a new phenomenon now, when i talk in hospitals with patients and the staff. the patients don't want to be discharged because they are too afraid to go back to where they come from. and our plea is, it's two-folds,

o one, it's estimated when we make a trip up north, i was shocked at the station in gaza city, for patients from it, coming to the hospital, it's completely overwhelmed and und undercompacitated. just as high colleague described about al shifa hospital. al shifa is currently minimally functional. this was the back bone of the gaz health system. this was the best at those levels. 650-bed, all medical specialties, really good workforce. now, it's working as a first aid

treatment center, with 10 health workers and 70 volunteers. unbelievable circumstances. with few specialized medical supplies, basically, everything, and the emergency department. we need to revive it. we need to reassure that many there's a proper first level referral hospital and then back to second and third. but we also need to make sure that the other three hospitals which are still partially func functional, two and the other which is the only mother and child hospital. we were planning to go to the two today, but today, because of the insecurity and the roads,

these need to be there. otherwise you cannot deliver. we talk about getting supplies to people in the need, those in the north and in the south. at the moment, there are no safe spaces, and i will say more than two weeks, there are -- clearly, there are no safe spaces, including in the south. so that needs to change and we need to protect the services, essential services, healths, all of the services needed. we need to assure that the capacity which increased to 3,500, we increased it 2,000. most in gaza, but also in the north. we need to get a sustained supply within gaza, medical

supplies. and then the last point, on the amount of fighting in the east. what struck me most in this morning two weeks -- first of all, the level of devastation, almost specifically going into gaza city. i can only imagine what it is up north, but also the number that you see from 2.2 million gazians. >> thank you for joining us for your insight. i really appreciate it. horrific scenes, obviously in gaza. donald trump is vowing a harsh crackdown on illegal migration if he's re-elected as u.s. president. he made his case in nevada over the weekend. >> he also doubled down on undocumented immigrants emphasizing plans on what he calls the largest deportation in american history. cnn alayna treene has the

details. >> reporter: former president donald trump ramped up his anti-immigration rhetoric during remarks in nevada on sunday. he shared stories about violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants here in the united states. and vowed to devote unprecedented resources to the southern border if he were to be re-elected in 2024. take a listen. >> given the unprecedented millions of biden illegal aliens who are invading our country, it is only common sense that when i'm re-elected, we will begin, and we have no choice, the largest deportation operation in america. >> reporter: now, this is some of the most explicit language yet that we have heard from donald trump to preview his potential second-term plans on immigration here on that campaign trail. i can tell you, my colleagues at cnn and i have reported ex

extensively. and it includes rounding them up and placing them in detention camps while they apart to be deported. i think it's important to point out the context of these remarks. they came here in nevada, a state that is a large migrant population. and they also come as donald trump has been increasingly ramping up his violent rhetoric when it comes to immigration over the weekend. on saturday, we heard donald trump repeat language that immigrants are, quote, poisoning the blood of our country. rhetoric that is closely associated with white supremacy. we did hear the biden campaign immediately criticize donald trump for those remarks today. arguing that such a language parrotted that of adolf hitler. the former president received a lot of praise over the weekend for criticizing leaders to prove that joe biden was a threat to democracy. alayna treene, cnn, reno, nevada. more republicans are on

board with donald trump's anti-immigrant comments, though, his political rival chris christie is warning voters to pay attention because he says trump is getting worse by the day. >> the former new jersey governor said republicans including gop presidential candidate nikki haley are enabling trump. >> he's disgusting, and what he's doing is dog whistling to americans who feel absolutely under stress and strain from the economy and from the conflicts around the world. he's dog whistling to blame it on people from areas that don't look like us. the other problem with this is, the republicans who are saying this is okay. almost 100 members of congress have endorsed him. nikki haley who this week said he is fit to be president. you're telling me that someone who says immigrants are poisoning the blood of his country, someone who says vladimir putin is a character

witness is fit to be president of the united states, was the right president at the right time, nikki haley should be ashamed of herself. and she's part of the problem because she's enabling him. >> tom nichols, a staff writer for the atlantic said donald trump isn't bringing any solutions to the table. instead, his comments are meant to care people. >> i think the first thing we always have to begin with is nothing donald trump says is actually designed to solve anything. it's meant to enflame and enrage and build a sense of ethnic and racial identity with his voter base. i mean, we've heard this rhetoric, as your reports just pointed out, we've heard this rhetoric before, all the way back to 2015, 2016, this is a gay of galvanizing people by trying to scare them to death about a wave of brown people coming across the border. of course, the border is a real crisis it is a problem.

is it does need a solution. but trump is not aiming for any of that, trump is aiming for emotion and just, you know, kind of set the issue on fire, because that's good for donald trump. and it's always important to remember that everything that trump does is aimed at what's good for donald trump. not actually at solving anything like the border crisis. right now, more than 58 million americans are under flood watches from north carolina to maine. a storm system out of the gulf brought heavy rain and severe weather to florida on sunday. now, that system is sprinting along the eastern seaboard, dumping lots of rain in the carolinas, mid-atlantic and the northeast. >> there's a slight risk of excessive rainfall up and down the east coast before day break eastern time. new england will get strong winds and rain. it doesn't look like they'll strike an immigration deal, why

both sides of the aisle are pushing back. and forces in ukraine, after another russian air assault over the weekend.

the u.s. senators are struggling to reach a deal on immigration reform even though democrats are hoping to have a vote this week. >> but many republicans say that's probably not going to happen. an immigration impasse means for ukraine they'll be stalled on capitol hill as well. cnn's manu raju has the latest. >> senators have spent the weekend trying to see if they can get any sort of compromise on the issue of immigration, dealing with the surge at the southern border of mexico, among migrants coming into the united states changing border policy. things that have really eluded congress for decades. they wants to try to get day deal right now, trying to unlock aid to ukraine. republicans have said the border must be first in order to be green lighting aid to ukraine.

and all of this talking from the senate, some from the right, believing that republicans are giving away too much. pushing for enough restrictive policies. and then a growing number of critics on the left worried about joe biden giving away too much. some flatly warning it could cost them at the ballot box. >> why do you think the president is struggling so much with hispanic voters compared to last time? >> well, i'm not as worried about that yet. i think if we do go -- if he does go too far, in the trump direction, when it comes to this, it's going to be thought about next year, no doubt about it. >> i'm amazed what is the equivalent of trumpian ideas is being promoted by president biden and the democratic. >> if they're able to get a deal, to draft to get approval from four different houses in the senate. actually set up the votes in the

senate which takes some sometime. getting it out of the senate. in fact, the house is out in january. this will not even get approved in january, we'll see how republicans and democrats will likely act to any deal that is reached. it could potentially sink in the house as well. there are just so many questions about whether it could get there. but negotiates say they are making progress, but some of you progress to make a deal to pass both chambers. that's a huge question at this critical moment, manu raju, cnn, washington. turning to the war in ukraine, russia has been using fleets of drones to attack targets on a daily basis. they took down at least 20 drones on sunday. they say one of them crashed into a neighborhood in odesa destroying homes and killing at least one person. this is the third russian air assault on the region this week. the u.s. is condemning the military launches. the south korea military said a long-range missile was fired on the pyongyang area within 1,000

kilometers. japan's coast guard believes the missile fell in the waters west of the island in the haokkaido region. >> pyongyang said the launch was partly in response to a u.s.-nuclear powered submarine arriving in south korea. voters in chile have rejected a new draft constitution, a holdover from the leadership. officials say nearly 1200% of te votes counted, 55% are in favor. >> chile has opposed a proposal written last year. the new proposal was even more conservative than the existing constitution. chile's president said there will be no third vote. >> translator: our country will keep its current constitution, because after two referendums on two constitution drafts, none of

them was able to represent nor unite chile's beautiful diversity. the country was polarized, it was divided. and on the sidelines of this clear result, the constitutional process did not channel the hopes of having a new constitution that was written for everyone. >> critics say the later proposal would have lilted women's preproductive rights and enabled the expulsion of many. >> and the chair of the party is fighting as the party looks to kick him out. we'll have the latest on what pled to the scandal. also ahead, the military is planning to eliminate the biggest tunnel in hamas. and beginning to start the tunnel work by flooding them with seawater. ♪

kick me out, therefore, the gop saying, okay, we'll take that deal. the israeli military says it plans to destroy what it calls the biggest hamas tunnel in gaza. israel said it was secured a few weeks ago but the discovery was just announced today. >> the idf said the tunnel was used for troupe movements and attacks. israel says it's about four kilometers long and 2 1/2 miles. it has communications systems. >> meanwhile, the u.s. said the idf is testing out ways to flood the tunnel with seawater. but it's a risky operation as cnn's nic robertson explains. >> reporter: the tons themselves are big, big enough for fighters and their weapons, seen here in this hamas propaganda video which was also posted by the israel defense force. they're reinforced with

concrete, too. two years ago, hamas claimed to have built 500 kilometers, more than 300 miles of them. the tunnels are spread all over gaza, this map, over two years old. the idf said they discovered 800 tunnel shafts so far. and they've destroyed 500 of them. the entrances are often well hidden. as i was shown by the idf clear a gaza hospital. really well hidden, which means the tunnels can be really hard to find. the idea of flooding the tunnels using the abundant seawater that's along the many miles of gaza's mediterranean shore is apparently a creative idea. not just to destroy hamas and quite literally flush them out, but also to reach the parts of tunnels that might never be

discovered. from aboveground. now, it's not without its risks, there could be hostages in those tunnels. there are very few details about how precisely the water is getting into the tunnels. how much water, how fast it's going in. or what you do if you suddenly discover you're flooding hostages, other than the idf say they have begun carefully testing it. and that this method is being trialed on a limited, limited basis. >> this is a tunnel. >> reporter: some of the tunnels are thought to be five floors deep. some of the hostages who were freed have described them. this elderly hostage helped by her daughter. >> translator: walking inside the tunnels with the wet ground, it was moist all the time. >> there are huge network of tunnels underneath. it looks like a spiderweb. >> reporter: the idf says it

will proceed causally, to make sure they are not flooding tunnels, where the hostages are being held. it's significant that more than six weeks into the ground campaign this full-scale of the tunnel problem is only now really becoming apparent. even controlling the streets above is not enough to locate all of the tunnels. so flooding seems to be the new best option, to really probe the extent of the invisible subter tr subterranean network. destroying the use. of course, a key caveat in success here, if you can't find the tunnel and it's not connected to a system you're already flooding, how effective can you be about flooding it, and knowing that you're hitting, destroying, the hull of the tunnel network? nic robertson, cnn, london. police have arrested a man
