the, the, the, the, the we news live, frumber, land, washington, top diplomat, merge of israel to place the highest value on human life. you a secretary of state, and to me, lincoln says there should be no higher priority and gone. so then for texting, civilians this as the world waits for the release of an is really reward him to the killing of 7 aid workers there earlier this week. also coming up the kremlin rams up the rhetoric, warnings and russia and nato are now in the direct confrontation over your brain. the says nato marks is 75th anniversary and pleasures. more assistance for keith

and rescue pro search for those. still missing in taiwan, official say people are still trapped and remote regions after the island, the biggest earthquake and a quarter of a century, the confrontation welcome to the show you as president joe biden has told israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that future support for the war and gaza depends on israel taking new steps to protect civilians and 8 workers the white house despite and made clear and a phone call that is real, needs to implement specific and measurable steps to address civilian heart as follows, the death of 78 workers, and it is really your strike in gaza earlier this week. israel says a preliminary report from their probe into the incident has been completed and will be made public su, speaking at a needle meeting and brussels. you

a secretary of state and to me blinking, calling israel to take concrete steps to protect civilians and facilitate access to humanitarian. 8. we need to see an immediate cease fire to enable the release of hostages, but also to enable a dramatic search and humanitarian assistance as well as obviously better protecting civilians. now, as i said, the president, the prime minister just spoke, but it's uh, our expectation that is real will and certainly should announce concrete specific measurable steps that it will take and take as soon as possible to make sure that there can be an effective search and assistance that it can be sustained and that you may have trained workers and civilians are better protected. and today marked the 1st time that you as president and joe biden and is really prime

minister benjamin netanyahu spoke. since there's a convoy it was attacked in gaza. w, washington correspond to benjamin alvarez, told us more about the call. that's right, was the 1st time between both leaders. since this is really as try killed is 7, a to work is in gaza, according to the white house read out a prison by and called these strikes on humanitarian book is in the overall who many terry and is situation and goes unacceptable. and probably the most important sentence of the readout is the president bide made clear that i quote us policy with respect to garza will be determined by our assessment of israel's immediate action on the steps. and that is by far the crew is hints of conditionality for military to israel. something that many have been asking for months now, and that's something that the us does with every other allies. so the killing of the 7 volts central kitchenaid work, i think as a piece to mocking inflection point if providing support of israel. so combined

told me that you know, that future us support for israel will depend on protecting civilians. does washington have a clear red line here and what could the consequences be? so there's a big difference between saying something and between doing it between setting a red line and then actually and forcing it just to give you an example. one, president biden set that launching a bond being competing on gaza. seligman city of profit would be crossing it red lines. you did an old layout of the consequences and we know that actions speak louder than words. 3 us officials told to the washington post us media that the by the administration approved the transfer of 1000 small bumps to israel on the same day that is rarely as reckoned, goals are killed. the 78 book is. so the white house, and that's what the white house has been accused of, of, of using it's leverage with israel. the frustration is going not only with the republicans with the position, but also within the democrats, that instead of conditioning, for example, i munition bombs intelligence,

president biden is venting is frustration. the find the ministration is frustrated with the way that benjamin nathaniel and his government are waging this war in gaza . and we already see a shift just a few minutes ago national security spokesperson and the sad that the u. s. would already consider changes of the israel policy. if israel doesn't make all the changes it to this policy within hours of the day, something that yesterday sounded quite different. so we see already a shift level. the question now will be, if there will be no accidents, what the red lines will be and what the times that will be that the us gets israel a to see here if they will. condition that change the 8 that the us is giving israel. and you'll be watching it closely for us that was the w. washington correspondent benjamin alvarez. thank you for the latest and i asked journalist saw me circle in jerusalem, how the phone call between and by midnight and yeah, who went down in israel. so 1st of all,

i must say that it hasn't been any re dog. that hasn't been any press called friends. that hasn't been any statement coming out from the prime minister is the office. so what we hear is a kind of like a very is vague leaks from the prime minister's office. but we just hearing things like that conversation was almost an hour long uh, 45 minutes, 50 minutes. and this is the contrary to what we hear from where washington the conversation was 30 minutes long. in terms of the content we, we don't to hear this kind of over rhetoric a here. i mean, it is disclose that the conversation was a task, but it's more like a business as usual. i can, i can tell you that one and i list the are

a who is quite close to and benjamin it's on the hour that 5 minutes. the hey, he was say that a, it was by then as called for a is actually the surrender of israel as to how miles. and it looks like a by then as a kind of like taking the pressure from the 1st lady and the pressure of the 1st lady is in now it was pushing a by the president by then. so this is the only thing that we've heard so far. so i was sony, so call reporting for us from jerusalem. and as we heard anthony blinking made his comments, add a needle, a meeting that was getting under way as spokesman for the kremlin set of relations between russia and nato, have reached the level of quote, direct confrontation. moscow says this is due to the alliance is enlargement in recent years, and this military support for ukraine. so as the north atlantic treaty organization

a proposal for needle members to set up a 100000000000 euro fund to provide military a to ukraine over the next 5 years. what he says, nato should have a more direct role in delivering that aid. we have to remember that the criticism of, from a former president, donald trump, and also from others, united states, has not been mainly against nate to it has been against nato allies. nope. pending, you know, financial and the good news is that the nato allies, including germany, a many others on all really stepping up and investing more in defense. but it's still unclear whether the 100000000 euro proposal will be accepted by nato members who take decisions by consensus hungry has already voiced its off position. it comes as russia has intensified its missile attacks on ukraine in recent weeks. and ukraine's foreign minister has reportedly cast out on nato's ability to collect

the funds with the war now and it's 3rd year. he also said that what the country really needs is more air defense systems from the west. i don't want to spoil the party, but of course my message is a birthday party, but my main main main message today will be competitive because saving you creating a live savings, creating an economy saving pregnancy just depends on the availability of categories in other air, defense system seems ukraine and resulting both petra's because it's still in the system just getting into some ballistic missiles. western allies have been hesitant on this point, but for ukraine, that would be cause for the biggest celebration of all. let's take a look now and some other stories. making news around the world of denmark has closed the air space and shipping traffic in one of the world's busy ceilings due to a faulty messiah launcher. the incident happened during enable exercise in the great
