of the, the, the idea bombs are read, present ambulance killing at least 6 of the crew, including a medic and a journalist as israel intensifies airstrikes in areas that previously declared as safe down. 3 more countries joined the list supporting the genocide case, filed against israel by south africa, the international court of justice and the bangladesh government is not bothered by the us. and you take criticism of a general elections that support into the countries of foreign minister, the time rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching our

t international. we start in central gaza, whereas really forces have targeted a palestinian red, crescent ambulance killing at least 6 of the crew, including a medic and a journalist, gaza based journalist, tons of swan, reports ballasting, and recross sends the got targeted by that is really forces for members of the policy and request sent, killed in this attack, and there's 2 injuries inside this. i'm also killed before one hour of this attack and there was an air strike to residential house just in front of and talk. so hospital request sent announce on their platform that they condemn without talk on the, on police, on the condemned to that part of the house in front of a shut down opposite hospital as well. so the numbers of casualties in the middle of gaza strip is increasing every single hours because that due to the,

in the uh, ground operation in the middle area in the middle of the center of the gaza strip of the ground. the provision is getting wider every hour and they are very close. there is really a war planes here in the office. the deal is also there clearly to here they targeted presidential house and out of city in the middle of the city. there is a 15 pet, a senior were killed, most of them childrens and women's. we witnessed the arrival of casualties to our community hospital and the rest of the casualties delivered to a we use different much our hospital. so the hospitalization guy, this trip is getting clearly targeted by the, is there any forces and the number of casualties is increasing from the civilian belsky and civilians. and from also, uh, the several different schools and medical crews. and they're basically targeting

the a, the workers who works the people who works with international organizations. it's very clearly to see these uh we can say a work lines and war crimes every day in gauze of service at all for the ease rarely forces keep the force and a few floors which are full of people. more than 100 inside the building. they struck it without any advance warning people what the pot, children, women, and others, every one was killed. the color i saw the apartment was on fire. we risk those, we could, but there are still many people under the rubble. earlier my colleague nick aaron spoke with sabri side, i'm the deputy secretary general of fata central committee. he says israel is waging a war against all the people of palestine in a bid to capture land and force out of residence. it's not the war against guys. so far it is the war against the old or punish side inclusive offerings. you can

submit it is towns in the west bank and beyond criminal back in september of a game. this famous speech at the general assembly of the u. m. he has the map that chose no us back of those guys. so people that lives in palestine and beyond understand that this is no longer award. i'm as know, it is uh the, the detainees at the all claims because i bought the eviction of for the finance from the west bank and gaza watching all the brothers and sisters being slow to i am for them guys. my time it in is when you guys are last 60 southern members of my family situation is very desperate. so when you with this such a scene, you would basically hope that the, the international community at large would wake up and give credit sign up. i think and that was a to comes back and finish with this madness. there is an increased idea of precedence in the west button right now with the idea of checkpoints increased security measures. how do these impacts the daily lives of palestinians in ramallah

and other cities? movement between city is a minimum people and go about the they did. ives only was that i guess, but it's all in need. the oil for the work methods is norman and norman. see in the situation as a to add it before there's something different to that whatsoever. and the passage between these is now limited also because is right and as active the newer check points. and then i am the gates at the entrances to the cities and vintages which make a movement also more difficult and it is more of a company the. ready veins collecting the furnace and in that is in the back wives, supplements are being expanded quietly and behind the scenes. people in the west bank, tired of sitting there expecting about as an annual income, maybe in food any time soon and see doctor anthony always kaya is having american colored american level is american support. and if we need to count as well as

military and backing about these, allow him to go to, to the, on the market. this is a situation that is desolate. this is a situation that is on seen since the 2nd level. and also these off to the atrocities are being committed. so we look with dismay, we looked at the destination and jerusalem. hundreds of jews gathered at the western wall for mass prayers for the hostages. still being kept by hamas and relatives of the captains joined in the pears before activist race banners with pictures of all 136 hostages in gaza. 4 of whom had been held for years then all the aims, namibia, and pakistan, and joined the list of country supporting the genocide case, filed against israel by south africa at the international court of justice. the may be as deputy ambassador to the un called israel's actions, quote 10 amount to genocide. by intents and by number the actions carried off by

israel attempt amount to genocide and the international community is bound by principles that do not afford us. the luxury of complacency, while lives the last and critical infrastructure is destroyed. the rema king ramifications of this crisis will reverberate for generations to come. for this reason, we welcome the support and action by the government of south africa at the international court of justice. and it may be a both identifies and aligns with the arguments put forward by the republic of south africa and reiterates to long standing support from the inalienable rights of the policy and people to self determination, independence and freedom. pakistan has welcome south africa's initiative and looks forward it to the i c j advisory opinion on the legal consequences arising from israel is policies and practices and the palestinian territory. the guys, the house ministry says over 23000 palestinians have been killed in is really attack since october 7th. and the number wounded is approaching 60000. yet in the

face of the shocking numbers and as rally they could party member has called for gaza to be burned to the ground. i still say that gaza must be bins that the terrorist will not think that they are beautiful eyes in front of them. i don't apologize and i have no, no see for those who stayed the r t correspondent, another who. yeah. can they brings us the details of south africa's international lawsuit against israel or so that's what got has put together a formidable document outlining it's evidence off of what it says is a genocide taking place in the gaza strip. it says that is where i'll have to send it into a new level of criminality, and that's the magnitude of the atrocities committed by as well as a seat at the place. hold off the 1948, convincing off the prevention and punishment of 10 aside. it says that these are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of a policy in

a national, racial, and ethnic group. all of this has come together in this particular document. and so that's because voice is not alone and saying what is happening in god's eyes in humane but because no one wants to take up the mental. so africa did say it identifies with what the pointless thing is of going through. the acts in question includes the killing probably students and gaza, causing them serious bodily and mental home and inflicting on them conditions of live calculated to bring up all their physical destruction. the add some attributes of bolts of israel, which has failed to prevent genocide and is coming in genocide and manifesto violation of the genocide convention and which has also violated and is continuing to while it it's all the fundamental obligations under the genocide convention. it is not obvious that wisdom governments onto not heavy to address crimes committed by as well. and i'm not willing to stop the war. many of those countries of a former colonial as themselves who in practice continue to colonize many parts of

the african continent. so holding is while accountable for its crimes could bring attention to their own controversial past the submission merritt list, counterproductive and completely without any basis. in fact whatsoever. instead of simply seeing a new flock made in mind of the states accused a full crime. that is why it is, i think, the n c by its willingness to defend itself at the you in court, smell over is really presidents as a catalogue. as the describe sought after, because lawsuit as a choices and propose service with some of these wells at the top of visuals, things of africa is collaborating with give us self efficacies claim lex both effectual and a legal basis, and constitutes a despicable and contemptuous explanation of the court, south africa, east corporation for the terrorist organization that this called in for the destruction of the state of israel, south africa side. it also includes concerns relating to you as well as conduct

towards for the student is during the close of 75 year long. the pottage, an occupation of palestine integrity, how ever as the mainstream media news of the script on the global directive, more and more people are signing petitions around the world and beginning to realize that they have been lied to. so that because requests to the international court of justice could have very significant consequences. whitney as well. and it is yet another test of geo political alignment, the west versus the wrist. and he's trying to and professor of international law, the university of johannesburg told us more countries supporting south africa as i c j. case will help it resolve the conflict in gaza. the legal to quotes might play a significant role in understanding the obligations of member states on the genocide convention 1st and full. and secondly, uh what the nation is that i should taking circumstances of this kind in order to

event. uh, you know, home done uh to the civilian population by acts of this kind which may qualify as acts of genocide. and i think it might contribute to the development of international law in this recall. furthermore, i also think that they may also be excited t on the kinds of internal measures that the state is state may an applicant for this matter could be entitled to or could be successful in obtaining from the quote . and i think um, because of the importance of that got also mex, a recruiter expects a good number of states joining, i think that's uh that is a good sign. and it can be of great assistance in determining the outcome of the also proceedings. israel has reported by instructed as hospitals to

prepare for a new influx of casualties. admit, increasingly deadly strikes across the border with love and on or with a warning comes as the idea of says that killed one of hezbollah as a senior commanders during his bride on 11 on tuesday. the militant group has denied that they earlier another has, but like a matter however, was confirmed. hills is, are images of his huge funeral procession as well as, as it targeted and as rarely command base and retaliation. since october, israel says, is bombardments have killed at least $0.13 on another 19 and positive motor and syria international affairs research or an analyst. they misdeed says by escalating tensions on his part of a slab and on israel is trying to involve it's key allies, the united states in the complex it's really odd and sound of the choices of either a continue with this war or trying to drive the american into this one by having

a larger war or open a new cross as we are with the same uh on, on the south is there it has a sorry, once in a g to finish. uh eh, it cost and right on. it's going to add to have done. what's the oh for it? part of the big, the project of, of the is right. the government always to has to be is right from there is or to, to list each. uh, i have a nice uh, the escalation continue. we'd also so that's, this is my reason for the upcoming events of bangladesh as government is not bothered about what the us and u. k. is criticism of his general elections. that handshake has seen that a 4th straight term is prime minister. that's according to the bangladesh. foreign minister were not bothered about those are people have given

a mandate in our favor. those came and said the election was held in an impartial, transparent, credible, and violence, free manner shake as he now has made us come back in the vision this and in election which so a, historically you will talk to an out. but this was pretty obvious. and uh, there was no surprises since still mean all positions locked in longer leash when that can know when the bundle beach and actually spot the b and b. they had announced a boy court off the selection. and the did so because the said that that was he not government was 1st secure thing. bill opposition. members, in fact the to was still has, you know, government of putting some to 20000 for opposition members behind falls off today organizes nationwide filters. seeing that there was economic and cost of living sizes under fussy, knocked off. now what that was said and done, cuz he knows me to come back. she has the gone the longest time and it's still

a fine law beach and she was getting congratulations messages from across the world . but not the us, not the west be have been upset in the united states, remains concerned by the arrest of thousands of political opposition members and by reports of irregularities on election day, the united states shares the view with other observers that these elections were not free or fair and we regret that not all parties participated. canada expresses its disappointment that this electro process has fallen short of the principles of democracy and freedom and calls on the relevant authorities to work transparently with all parties to move forward towards democracy, respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms. but any point though, till that bonds are the selection, they have a one to towed by around $127.00 international of service, which also included countries like the u. s. and russia. now the us on so more on record has gone on to say that the bundle, the selection source free in fact,

and it was a given a teen sort of thoughts to the election that was held in bond movies. so really there a lot of discrepancy in what the statement is coming from the u. s. and what they don't available. one of the bundle of the selection was see, having said that now there was also a russian of the they who has scott football recently said that if the u. s. e, as in satisfied with the elections the resolves, they have till they have the follow to be civilized on navigational data, something that she has. e, now herself has been saying, so i'm going to guess she's going on to see on record that the u. s. has been trying to meddle in the internal politics, to bundle the she's also going on to say that the u. s. has been trying to talk to her government. now, what am a said and done? she have gotten another tom and she has been getting a congratulatory messages from across the world, including her to super far naples to a hunting league as

a friendly neighbor. china from the supports bangladesh in advancing various both selection, political agendas in accordance with the law and is willing to work with the new government of bangladesh, chinese willing, on the basis of mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit, unknown interference in internal affairs to work together with the new government of backlash to further enhance traditional friendship by spoke to prime minister, shake his dina, and congratulated her on her victory for a historic 4th consecutive term in the parliamentary elections. i also congratulate the people of bangladesh for the successful conduct of elections. we are committed to further strength and our enduring and people centric partnership with bangladesh along the elections. and the results have cost the attention of the was, was of a interesting because the we bundle of dish is placed in asia. it's strategically phase between 2 asian supervisor, india and china. let me find all the beach has done a very,

very interesting evey. those all the good balancing act between the 2 countries now also very important. the bundle dish is the 2nd largest economy in south asia. and has seen us come back then becomes important in all those sense like bands all the director of the india foundation says the bangladesh elections were open in western countries are wrong to criticize them. the top comes on january 7th, was absolutely free and fair. and the extended, uh uh the nationwide has been in saltisha. it was an extreme even going back to the . busy the last elections, there was some wireless in the elections, there was certain calls. why the because of the middle pollution bar fee, which is the b and b know why didn't be, it'd be more complex just because the when anyways. so the monday the,

this would be a good, good, good to share because you know, to leave the governments installed during the election. so we are under the pages the old easy just didn't, but please, which are the decidedly mom of these 4 elections. but the moment, so i think it's a to see the country is really election state please. of existing governors are asking for the government to stop sending signals, expressing time on these separate his sentiments. last but the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson mounting had to say, as she lost in washington for meeting with the islands, officials behind to pay things back. it should take you away. the united states should kind of play by and by the one china, principal and the provisions of the 3 china us. drone communicate has handled taiwan related issues prudently and properly stop official exchanges between the

united states and by one. stop sending any wrong signals to the taiwan independence separate this forces. i should not interfere in taiwan elections in any form. taiwan is preparing for local, parliamentary and presidential elections that are set to get underway on saturday. the island has accused mainland china of using every means to ensure pro of aging candidates when well chinese officials have warned the us against the backing tie when these separate us are contributor, called job priest ortiz, mickey aaron, on how washington demonizes china to justify his military presence in the pacific, the china is reiterating its position on tie one because sovereignty on tie one is one issue that china will not compromise. and this a year is a very special year because tie one is running a very contested election. do you think that the island state doesn't have to, to, is, is so dependent on the results of these elections?

no, because typically what it terming to fade a pipe one is a sign o american issue. it's a issue just to be decided be can phasing and washington the island local election um at the end of the day administration on ty, one no matter which party come to the office, they currently also to washington, you're washington says john, they say hi, a fall right, well the west in the mainstream media seem to say things differently. they have back holding the elections in taiwan crucial. so why do they have this different perspective? united states is waging the intense media campaign to rach up tensions in the eastern into western pacific to justifies the continue u. s. military presidency in the regent, japan, korea, and us just recently issue a joint statement on the south china sea issue. but the, the irony is none of these countries border south china sea, neither korea,

taiwan nor united states. ready it or so i was trying to see so, so it's more of a case us is looking for an excuse to get involved and to maintain military presence in the, in the region. and german, a citizens face trained cancellations across the country as an ongoing railway workers strike as to travel chaos with protest by farmers already hindering broad traffic or to contribute or rachel marsden, reports. we're here right now in front of the main train, stationed in berlin. now behind me, you'll notice is pretty quiet and the reason for that partly is because, well, some of the train drivers, large union of them are on strike right now. and that means that most of the regional trains are not running. and also the trains that go from germany out to other countries are also not running visit the joyce band trains. and again,

the drivers are on stage, their unit is demanding better pay. the drivers are also asking to reduce their work week from 38 hours down to 35 hours. and so far it's a no go on that. it's not the 1st time that these workers have been on strike, but it just kind of falls into the larger context. right now of the farmer strikes over the fact that they're feeling a cost crunch in their daily cost of living. they're still quite a few tractors, but not as many as they're we're on monday and you might be wondering why. well, it's quite simple. they have to pay the bills and already they're here in the 1st place because the government is flying back some subsidies for diesel fuel the time when energy costs have exploded. so they can't really afford to just hang out here all week, some of them. and although some are sleeping in their rigs, they're able to heat their trucks on the inside and others are here all week. and they're standing around fires that they've made. there's firewood,

kind of laying all over the place here on the medium between the truck land and the tractor lanes. but some other say they just simply can't afford to pay a hotel in berlin for a whole week. so i'm asked to go back to work for a week, but pretty much everyone to say that they do plan on coming back for the giant protest day that this set here on for monday, january 15th. now we've had the opportunity today to walk around and speak to all sorts of people who are still hanging around here on the sub 0 very for bridge. the date a government has to go to destroy us. i want the guys, i want the guys from russia, they tell us that we would be put on the totes as the reason these people don't want to get a restaurant. that's wrong. we have friends, these plans on the job. we are here because of the extremely high cost, the, namely fuel and emission costs that we can't cover. what we hope that berlin's politics in the senate will change to that they will think more about small in

middle scale businesses, how they financed themselves, is off to give you a new way of being overwhelmed by bureaucracy. and our income is not increasing. and we make a living selling groceries by retail and is the state and those big monopolies, they put pressure on prices and it's time things change around here to this government is simply incapable does its own purpose, this destruction of our economy plus money. we con, let this go on. we have heard from various sources here on the ground that the only members of parliament that they at least recognize to have come over here had been from the right wing alternative for germany. alternative for adults then party. it's going to be another chilly night, so everybody's getting things ready to eat here and lots of can food. but again, the number of trucks has kind of died down a bit, but they are, were told, expected to come back for the big day on monday. they're just going to find

a little bit of time to warm up in the meantime. and now to south america, where at least 10 people have been killed in the series of attacks by criminal groups across ecuador, president, daniel unable, a has declared across the state of internal armed conflicts in the country and such as military, is fighting against norco terrorist gangs. are 2 spanish correspondent, luis, francisco soto, has the latest. what is happening? that, that it was, the mentions continue to rise across the country. the gratian of a security system is currently being considered. there already checkpoints where citizens are being checked, nevertheless, live goes on as well as the comic activity, despite the atmosphere of uncertainty in the midst of the current wave of violence and insecurity that rings in different parts of the country. 70 people have been arrested in effects that have been classified as terrorist. in addition, 10 people including 2 policemen, were killed in the current emergency situation. measures are also taken by various political entities. for example,

the national assembly has already mentioned the barton, and i'm just the procedure with regard to ways of dealing with the price is that you quit dorian army claims that according to a presidential degree issue. the few days ago, anyone who belongs to a gang criminal group, or one of the more than 20 criminal organizations and mentioned in this degree, will be identified as a member of a terrace. so, and therefore, will be considered a military target. meanwhile, as to what we have seen in the previous base, fires, criminal acts violence, and unfortunately the loss of life. everyone is anxiously awaiting what may happen in the coming days. we will continue to monitor developments in ecuador, many of those cases, along the latest, a shocking developments. a group of armed men, storms in ecuador, and tv studio, which was broadcasting live and taking the staff hostage place arrested the sailors . so the interest to erupt it out for a prominent drug cartel later disappeared from a maximum security prison on sunday with sparked riots at several other jails

across the country. other drug gang figures reportedly escaped him at the k. us ecuador, as president nebraska, has reported. they gone into hiding as the crisis. unfolded. ortiz fiorella, isabel explains the backgrounds of the events. what we're seeing now is a civil conflict between the organized crime and the state. now this has been a long time brewing in ecuador, but this is all due to neil liberal policies influenced by the united states. now when i say a right wing type of he a liberal policy, i mean the us coming in there and dictating the country's foreign policy. now one former president russell crowe was an office, and as he left in 2017, at border was the 2nd safest nation in latin america. it had a very low crime rate at about $5.00 homicides out of 800000 per 100000 people. and then when lending marino, who was the following president replaced him, there came in a more western back type of policy and that also was followed with kia malott. so

who was the president before daniel navarro? and those administrations allowed bribery, they allowed corruption within the administrations and within the police forces as well. so ecuador had, eventually a homicide rate increase to 500 percent or around $25.00 out of 100000 people in 2022. they've also reached high levels of prison violence, as you've seen, with 416 inmates actually brutally murdered since february of 2021 echo doors that has also largely increased exponentially since 2014 to about 70 $4900000000.00. ecuador is a prime example of what happens when a country a band and ser sovereignty in favor of doing with the united states a wants. now when we're talking about the us, his presence there, we're talking about multiple high level.
