[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the, the idea of bombs, a red crescent ambulance telling at least the 6 of the crew, including a medic and a journalist that says israel intensifies the arrows price in areas and previously declared a safe. so 3 more countries joined the list supporting the genocide case filed against as well by south africa, the international court of justice and the bangladesh government is not bothered by the us and u. k. criticism of its general elections. that's according to the countries of ford, minnesota,

the slide from moscow. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. we start in central dies, where is rarely forces have targeted a palestinian red, crescent ambulance killing at least 6 of the crew, including a medic and a journalist, gaza base to journalists, tons of shell on reports, ballasting and recross sense. uh, got targeted by that is really forces for members of the policy and requesting killed and this attacked and there's 2 injuries inside this. i'm also killed before one hour of this attack. that was an error is try to residential house just in front of impact for hospital request sent allowance on their platform that they can do them without tax on the, on police, on the condemned to that are of the house in front of the shut down and also

hospital as well. so the numbers of casualties in the middle of gaza strip is increasing every single hours because that due to the is in the uh, ground operation in the middle area in the middle of the center of the gaza strip of the ground. the position is getting wider at a if the hour and the very close. that is what you were planes here in the roof safety. it was also that clearly to hear they targeted a residential house and out of city in the middle of the city. there is a 15 pounds of 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 uh, how about yourself. i'm not john hospital. so the hospitality and god, 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 7 different screens. uh, the medical crews are they basically targeting the uh, the workers who works at the work of the people who works with international organization. its very clearly to see these uh we can see a work lines and work crimes every day. and god, the service at all is rarely forces he 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 to turn that part, the 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 nikki aaron spoke with sabri side on the deputy secretary general of fox central committee. he says, israel is waging a war against all the people of palestine in

a bit to capture land and force out residence. it's not the water i gave you guys up so far. it is the war against the old appellate side inclusive offerings. you can submit it is towns in the west bank and beyond infinity all back in september we gave this famous speech at the general assembly of the u. m. he has the map that shows no us back of no guys. so people up logs in palestine and beyond understand that this is no longer awarded this time as known. it is uh, the town of detainees uh has nothing to our claims because i bought the eviction of for the finance from the west bank and gaza watching all the brothers and sisters being sold items for them guys. uh my property is when you guys are almost 67 members of my family situation is very desperate. so when you with such a scene, you would basically hope that the, the international community at large would wake up and give credit sign up the date . and the representative comes back and finish with this method is always an increased idea of precedence and the west button right now with the idea of check

points, 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 wasn't that address, but it's all in need. the oil for the work methods is norman and norman, see in the situation as a to at and before this happened to that whatsoever. and the busses between cities is now limited, also because is right and as active the newer check points and have to put in. i'm gates at the entrance as though they use it. these engine is which makes a movement also a more difficult and it is more of a company. the veins is collecting the financing and i thought that was interesting . back wives supplements are being expanded quietly and behind the scenes. people in the west bank, tired of sitting there, expecting that there's an annual income, maybe in food any time soon and the see doctor and that they always,

scott is having american colored american leverage, american support and the point again as well as military and backing about these allow him to go to, to the, on the market. this is a situation that is best on it. 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 look with dispensation. there's really prime minister says this country does not seem to permanently occupied. garza doubling down on his claims that the idea is only engaged there in a fight against homos quote, in full compliance with international law. i wouldn't make a few points absolutely clear, as well as no intentional, permanently occupying guys or, or displacing that civilian population as well as funding come us terrace, not the palestinian population,

and we are doing so in full compliance with international law. the adf is doing its, our goal is to minimize civilian casualties while come mazda is doing its utmost to maximize them by using palestinian civilians as human shields. the idea for just palestinian civilians to leave or zones by disseminating leaflets. making phone calls providing safe passage quarters while come mos prevents palestinians from leaving a gun point. and often with gun far. our goal is to rid guys of commerce, terrace, and fear hostages. once this is achieved, guys, it can be demilitarize in d radicalize. thereby creating a possibility for a better future for israel and palestinians alike. so this statement is at odds with benjamin netanyahu. his previous announcement that is realistic team to maintain, quote security responsibility over gaza for an indefinite periods. he's rarely prime minister softening line comes as more countries for their support behind the jet,

aside case against israel filed by south africa at the international court of justice. the arab league expressed its unwavering support for the lawsuit while the melodies, namibia, and the pakistan have also filed suit. and the movie as a deputy ambassador to the un says israel's actions were, quote, tantamount to genocide. by intents and by number, the actions carried off by israel, i tend to mount to genocide and the international community is boned by principles that do not afford as the luxury of complacency while lives. the last and critical infrastructure is destroyed. the remich 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 for the inalienable rights of the policy. and people to self determination,

independence and freedom for pakistan has welcome to south africa's initiative and looks forward to the i c. j. advisory opinion on the legal consequences arising from israel is policies and practices in the palestinian territory. because the health ministry says over $23000.00 palestinians have been killed and is really attack since october 7th. and the number of wounded is approaching 60000. yet in the face of these shocking numbers, and as rarely could party member has called for guys that to be burned to the ground. i still say that god is a must be built on the terrace 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 know who your tune day brings us the details of south africa's international lawsuit against as well. so last week i 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 as well has to send it into a new level of criminality. and that's the magnitude off the a plus the twos 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 actually intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of a palistine and 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 a going through. the acts in question includes the killing poly students and gaza, causing them serious bodily and mental home and inflicting on them conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction the ad. so o attributable to israel, which has failed to prevent genocide and is coming in genocide and manifest

violation of the genocide convention 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 having to address crimes committed by as well, and then not willing to stop the war. many of those countries of a former colonialist themselves who in practice continued to colonize many parts of the african continent. so holding is while accountable for its crimes could bring attention to their own controversial passed by this admission merit less counterproductive and completely without any basis. in fact whatsoever. instead of simply staying the loose lock 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 has the describe, sought after, because lawsuit, as a choices and propose service with some of these wells at the top of fissile saying

somebody is collaborating with give us the self efficacies claim likes both effectual and the legal basis and custody. choose the despicable and contemptuous explanation of the court. south africa, east coal preaching to the terrace organization that this call in for the destruction of the state of israel, south africa side. it also includes concerns relating to as well as conduct towards palistine is during the close off it's 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 alignments. the west versus the wrist had a straight down professor of international law at the university of johannesburg told

us more tons for you. supporting south africa's i. c. j. case will help resolve the conflict in gaza. the reading of the quotes might play a significant role in understanding the obligations of member states under the genocide convention. first of all and secondly, what measures that i should taking circumstances of this kind in a little bit event. uh, you know, home done uh to the civilian population by acts of this kind which may qualify as x 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 glad to see 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 the gaza or mexican uh, they could expect 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 proceedings. bangladesh as government is not bothered about the u. s. and u. k. is a criticism of its general elections, but 100 shake has seen a 4th straight term as prime minister. as, 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 thing and 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 bond the leash when that can know when the bundle dish and actually spot the b and b,

they had announced a boy court all this selection and the did so because the said that does he not, government was 1st secure thing, bill opposition, members, in fact, the accused bill has the now government of putting some to 20000 ford opposition. members behind balls off today organizes nationwide filters. seeing that there was economic and cost of living prices under hussy knocked off. let me know what time was said and done, cuz he knows me to come back. she has gone the longest time and is still assigned to the beach and she's been 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 i need to point out 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 on record has gone on to say that the bundle, the selections for free and say that it was a given a clean, sort of salts to the election that was held in bond movies. so really, there are a lot of discrepancy in what the statement is coming from the us and what they don't available. one of the bundle of the selection. let's see. having said that, now there was also a russian of the they who has scott symbolically said that if the u. s. e, as in satisfied with the elections the resolves, the have to, they have to follow to be civilized song. nobody's know that is something that

chief, is he now herself has been saying, so i'm going to guess she's going on to stay on record that the us has been trying to meddle in the internal wanted to bundle the. she's also going on to say that the u. s. has been trying to talk to the government. now, what am a said and done? she has gotten another tom and she has been getting a congratulatory messages from across the world, including her to super far nicholas to a team lead as a friend and neighbour, 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 governmental 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 deena 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 also very interesting because the we bundle of dish is placed in asia. it's strategically phase between doing easier and supervisor, india, and china. let me point out the bundle of these 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 so, you know, somebody then becomes important in all those sense like funds. all the director of the india foundation says the bangladesh elections were open and western countries

are wrong to criticize them. of the bullying as it happened on january 7th, was absolutely free and clear. and to the extent of the uh, the election, the bathroom has been sold to share. it was an extreme even conductor than been the last elections. beautiful soul wars, then some that i'm up with an extra was there was such as blank or guns. why the western countries that opposing it is because the minute pollution part b, which is b and b a y corporate directions. now why didn't being the board got the extras? because very light is the dental bundle in any way. so they have been demanding the so the appear to be good government, the she, because eventually the government installments here to come government an election . so the date on that appeared to get dollars. the oldest we didn't do is the all the best in countries which are the decided thing bundle of dish. well elections the both the police in front of care take a moment. so i think it's

a fuel to bulk each. the country is we have election speed clues on the existing governments. austin product here they've got a government involved in germany, citizens, phase training, cancellations across the country as an ongoing railway workers strike as to travel chaos with protests by farmers already hindering road traffic are to contribute to rates on march the reports. so 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, their drivers are on storage, 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. there is still quite a few tractors, but not as many as there were on monday. and you might be wondering why. well, it's quite simple. they have to pay the bills and already they're here and 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 or a j. o. 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 the gas a rush out that's wrong. we have friends, these plans on the shelf. we are here because of the extremely high costs, 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. if it's time things change around here, so 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 silly 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

a series of attacks by criminal groups across ecuador, president, daniel nicola has declared a quote, state of internal arm to conflict in the country. and says, is, military is fighting against narco terrorist games are 2 spanish correspondent, luis, francisco soto has the latest. what is happening that, that it was the insurance continue to rise across the country. the gratian of a security system is currently being considered. there already checkpoints, or citizens that 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 together in the correct emergency situation. measures are also taken by various political entities. for example, the national assembly has already mentioned the barton and amnesty procedure with regard to ways of dealing with the price is equal dorian army claims that according to a presidential degree issue, the few days ago, anyone who belongs to

a gain 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 among the latest, a shocking developments. a group of armed men stormed at ecuadorian tv studio, which was broadcasting live and took the staff hostage. police arrested the assailant citizen to be the sum of the unrest a rop to it. after a prominent and drug cartel leader disappeared from a maximum security prison on a sunday which sparks riots at several other jails across the country. other drug gang figures reportedly escaped, admit the chaos echo as president in a bow, a has report on the gone into hiding as the crisis. unfolded, ortiz fiorella,

isabel explains the background 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 policy is influenced by the united states. now, when i say a right wing type of me, a liberal policy, i mean the us coming in there and dictating the country's foreign policy. now, one former president russell craft was an office, and as he left in 2017 ecuador 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 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. a 4 drawer 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 us officials coming into equity works. now, this act was seeking to further increased bilateral relationships between the united states and ecuador, at hundreds of thousands of age for the military in ecuador was given by the united

states. now this has largely hurt the country instead of moving it forward, which is what the united states has claimed. thomas more about donald, about where the country's youngest of alexi leda. yeah, well he's 35 years old. he's very young. i mean, he hills from a billionaire, uh oligarchs background. his father is over a new boss who owns a new boy corporation. now he's a banana tycoon, export bananas and ecuador, and he was elected on october 15th of 2023. so he's barely been in office. he was born in miami, florida. it was actually educated in the most prestigious universities. he got his bachelorhood. and why you, he actually studied at harvard and got an m b a from northwestern university. so you know that he's definitely in stab with the type of u. s. foreign policy. uh that many people in ecuador have criticized, which is what led to this moment. now. meanwhile, washington's,

as well as non considering sending troops to ecuador right now, the us is willing to help in other ways. i would walk you away from any consideration of us military troops or anything like that. so there's no plans for that. and we ought to just kill that right now, but, but certainly we want to talk with a government ecuador, about what they might need, could be a, maybe some investigative help that kind of thing. but that's sort of what the lane is right now. earlier we spoke with an expert on ecuadorian politics, just as the us is only looking to make a quick buck from the countries crisis. if we supposed to go and get him to the united states of america, he's the biggest global market for drugs. and let us take something else into account. american and boston that are in ecuador, fitzpatrick is middling in the internal affairs of the country, even though that is completely prohibited by the vienna convention of 1961, 25, but ecuador. in 9064 international law must be respected. this is going to productive. and what we're seeing and response of this wave of terror is the us

pushing through with the acquisition of its weapons by equal the us military and police departments in violation of contracts. they had previously signed, this is what we have come to. and 17 of these page b 's will magically return to equal the door. we all suffered being so i civilian population of the country. that's any more than it's criminal's skin breaking cell homes. take our lives or committed any crew acts they're capable off. all right, that's gonna do it for me for now, but to stay with us. my colleague peter scott, will be in next in about half an hour's time with
