2:07 pm
a to palestinian refugees for decades was of course as well. washington is deeply concerned by claims in the most with some underwater port state department deputies spokesperson said the us now vows to press israel to conduct the full investigation . the big question, however, is whether israel will listen and even if there is a pro, will those responsible be brought to justice? now our people in gals are protected by the geneva conventions on the rules of war and theory. yes, they are. but take a look at the following recent exchange, all not between the us state department spokes person denny and tell us the new insurance. or do you recognize the geneva conventions apply either emphasize or questions that have the they did it and your colleagues deceitfully responded to a do you recognize geneva conventions?
2:08 pm
it's a simple question. go, how do you recognize the geneva conventions which it finds the guys when you interrupt me and it's not. it's not a matter of you. i'm not good at a simple tank additional. finally, it is a simple question. go ahead. you got 2 questions. i literally concert, no, i didn't get to you. did you as you asked a question about why report and you asked to follow on, please go ahead and other in your number from your pc to answer go ahead. so the geneva conventions apply to gaza or not everywhere on the planet except for the palestinians. isn't that right? v continue to stress everywhere. and everywhere that the international humanitarian law needs to be abided by in respect that governs the geneva conventions apply. you are now interrupting your colleagues, and you are not insisting on an answer to a critical question. go ahead. will of background to the sound that us booked, the person's refusal to answer centers on the report published by the euro made monetary human rights group. imagine that some thousands heard what appeared to be
2:09 pm
the signs of screaming women and children coming from id f. drones. when the civilian stepped outside their shelters to investigate the noises they were reportedly killed by is really trip south. the signs were apparently designed to or denied some residents also say they heard songs being played in are a big can hebrew well social media post carry a recording from a local resident in the just around for if he comes in gaza, where he apparently heard on this really drone playing the voice of the crying child of the, for the full and i'm afraid you me for the small, the better solution. but other stages of the saw the numbers are no longer there is a lot of what we discussed all involved with veteran war journalist, elijah, and maggie
2:10 pm
a who sees it is likely the idea is using psychological war for to target dell. since it's one of the most on, at the good behavior of these, read the, a more on the that prove $0.03 to be the most is more in the what? because all divide agent of human rights, the, the commit to commit and will crime the crimes against you by the fee. so these really on the piece trying kind of building the site to get a need for this being in the make the cdns because nobody is not the minutes as was a rushing outside and they can have it, you're doing all women. and they also get used to everywhere. the also is 2300000. everybody is living god, asking me they would come out and try to help children and we may be in distress. so taking advantage of the do you mind me see all the seeing it is
2:11 pm
something that is on the it now the un security council is expected to vote on palestine has been to become a fully fledged member of the word body very soon as well. speaking a head all about the session rushes on, voice slum the us for it stands on the is really tell us the name conflict. i'm particularly the use of the veto powers on the council. the committee comes, the colored thing is can our american colleagues did not hide the fact that they see the security council as an obstacle one that should not interfere with their effective diplomacy on the ground. in reality, this was to grant their main middle eastern ally a free hand in clearing the enclave. the us hypocritically accused as russia and china of v towing their fine product. yet our veto serves as an example of why the veto tool is needed and single tediously answers those who are demanding it's
2:12 pm
abolition. it is needed to prevent the adoption of unbalanced and deceitful decisions pushed by washington, where we heard the russian envoys speaking before the 15 member by that leads the united nations and before the security council, russian ambassador nipple ben z, highlighted the double standards and hypocrisy of western countries that are constantly lecturing the world about human rights. so the protections of civilians, civil liberties, and so many issues, but then conveniently turning a blind eye to is railey crimes and atrocities. now at this point, there over 240 united nations workers who have been killed. israel has attacked humanitarian envoys and western countries continued to protect israel at the un security council. and at this point, uh, they seem to be allowing israel to carry out further escalations in the region.
2:13 pm
this is what russian ambassador and eventually a said before the council at the meeting. so we need, unless it is up. and the girl agreement was due to the fault of our western colleagues, specifically the united states, the u. k. and friends of the council cannot condemn these 3 at least strikes on the iranian conflict in damascus on april. first, this failure undermines the very foundation of international relations, the invoice liability of diplomatic and consular premises and personnel, and such neglect from the west towards individual states and their rights, dividing the world into those above the law. and those whose legitimate interests can be ignored and has brought the middle east to the brink of a major war. this is your so called effective diplomacy. dear western and colleagues each time and bears fruit to you get results in new victims and destruction. the international community effectively failed to protect the
2:14 pm
palestinians from these rarely massacre due to the stands of one state, blocking all our efforts. these really representative has long been making offensive statements against the un and its staff and even the secretary general today, he did not hesitate to label the security council aid from terror, chance slurry. now the meeting which is discussing the issue of a possible recognition of both statehood by the united nations member status for the palestinian state. as the issue being discussed, we did hear the palestinian authority take to the floor and may complete that they be recognized and not simply observers of the united nations, but be given full united nations member state status. and we heard israel thunderously condemned such a possibility. here's the war of words on the floor of the un security council. several members express the view that the admission of the state of palestine to
2:15 pm
membership in the united nations was a political matter rather than a technical or legal requirements. in other words, you on charter it'd be damned international law be damned. they're just em 2 words on paper rights. do you and is no longer a boat to multilateralism. sadly, it is now committed to multi terrorism and the security council. terror pays off its shameful. as i have always pulled out the political rocks within the un that sadly nothing here is based on truth and justice, but toxic politicized station. and to day the mask is finally full and the council has exposed to expose itself yolanda and for samuel philip to see how good granting the state of palestine from membership of the united nations. similar to other countries around the world damaged the prospects of peace between palestinians and israelis. how could this recognition and this membership and national peace and
2:16 pm
security? this question, ladies and gentlemen, we ask specifically to the united states and other countries that oppose granting the state of palestine full membership at a time when they recognize israel, which is the other party in the east, really boasting and conflict, and has granted israel a full membership of united nations and to those to say that recognizing the palestinian state must happen through negotiations. and now through un resolution. we wonder once again, how was the state of his real establishment? how was it recognized? wasn't that down through a un resolution, which is the resolution 181. and while they're now trying to is robin handed the adoption of such a resolution. by this time the international community cannot stand idly by while the countries of both international law enjoys impunity. israel shoulders full responsibility for the mass of destruction, of guys as self with permits continue to aggression. it is also the responsibility of countries that have supported israel with weapons and funds and provided israel
2:17 pm
with political protection. now the meeting is proceeding and it is expected that there should be a vote on the issue of palestinian recognition in the next few hours. well, just hours from now, india will begin the largest exercise of democracy in the world. it's parliamentary elections, which will also see the countries next leader elected early voting has already started in some parts of the nation. it's a big one, nearly a 1000000000 people are eligible to have their say in a 6 week long ballad. the 1st phase of which begins on friday, special coverage of the major event, the the well, the indian economy is a key issue that is taking center stage us citizens prepared to choose their next
2:18 pm
parliament on pm. the main parties contesting the potent are the ruling bgp on the indian national congress. here's what they've said ahead of the field. we are committed to so the law came to transform which is put on soul of manufacturing to create employment opportunities and thrive. economic expansion will ensure that into everybody's the worlds fastest growing major economy in future, while maintaining mach crossed ability with supply to be of the wells 3rd largest economy by 2030 low production is important because activities equal importance, any embezzlement, legal, administrative to logic production, ohio value will be removed, the congress has committed to rapid growth in generation of both. we have said to target of doubling budget to be in the next 10 years. well indeed, india is the worlds fastest growing economy, the size of which was the estimate of the $3.00 trillion dollars last year of the
2:19 pm
country. cdp grew by 7 percent during that period. this projected to increase by around the same number again this year. india is now the world's 5th largest economy, having jump 5 spots in the rankings over the past decades. well, india is use are off the forefront of a digital revolution over the next few years. the nation plans to become a tech powerhouse and a major producer of semi conductors. other key goals include the fostering of entrepreneurship and the removal of obstacles and business development. india, as foreign policy is also aimed at attracting significantly more investment. we discussed the prospects with a panel of experts, a, b, r, a, a very, very large country. and therefore, i think one of the biggest obstacles of when either you can call it obstacle or an opportunity is to be able to meet and manage the aspirations of a very, very large number of young people. 65 percent of india. on the $35.00,
2:20 pm
we add about $2425000000.00 people to out of the population every year. so i think one challenge is going to be how do we make sure that we continue to provide opportunities for growth and prosperity for a very large number of people. number 2, is that why there has been a very substantially amount of investment in infrastructure. and people like me who live in the lodge metropolitan cities i've, i've seen amazing highway as likely we'll see in most of other parts of the developed what i do believe that some more work needs to be done to be able to take infrastructure and make it more accessible in our router areas. so many things we have not yet started moving. is that either? so as far as the you're making it up, it's becoming to the energy the products are in the pipeline. and some of in the video was states that the sector didn't really mean to fix the problem is the
2:21 pm
united states, i think i'd sooner we wouldn't be, you know, but a, treating the kind of for, for, you know, sense of urgency that the, you know, out and the has been to, you know, looking at for the long, sort of thing, you know, in the hub, it has the highest, technically certain man club to nobody who will be produced or do folding to city like continuously to get. we have that you don't mind fight acquired for taking the country forward. we have some vision though, also to match the property. you know what the working has, how primitive the foss know, speed the to, to will be much cluster. and i'm going to be in the thoughts quite totally viewed up, become the 3rd largest economy. i don't have any doubt about it. what are to you? well, i'm sure you don't miss any of the moments stopping about her as india heads to the polls or special coverage of the country's parliamentary elections, which will run until june. begins this friday,
2:22 pm
the right from south asia to the united states on, in the latest attempt to get a controversial foreign aid package. past lawmakers there have decided to break it all down into several separate bills, including a $60000000000.00 deal for ukraine. high speaker republican mike johnson has voted to support the latter despite his previous touchstone. so even considering it what i'm doing here, what i believed to be the right thing, i think for providing legal aid, do you agree in right now is critically important. before we even talk about ukraine, i'm going to tell the president when i'm telling all of you and we've told the american people border border border, we need a clarity on what we're doing in ukraine and how will have proper oversight of the spending of precious taxpayer dollars and american citizens,
2:23 pm
the republican warehouse will not be jammed or forced into passing or for an a bill that was opposed by most republican senators. and does nothing to secure our own board at this time for washington to start showing some love to americans. while this new you creating a to bill proposed by the house speaker, mike johnson is a real 180 turn for the republican. so we're just recently criticizing joe biden, for having the stance of unconditional support for ukraine. this new proposal sees to send ukraine long range tactical ballistic missiles. and also, i locate another $61000000000.00 for purposes connected to the ukraine, conflicts $23000000000.00 of that going to replenishing us arsenals that have been depleted as a result of sending weapons ukraine. it seems like such a bizarre turnaround for mike johnson, doesn't it? because as we saw in the ground, that he was the one about folders board as broad as you know what his thoughts, i spend on money at home and not abroad. and, and now here is um, with this degree
2:24 pm
a very different to support changed. yeah, well, there is actually a catch to all this 8 if we can even call it that. it might even be better to call it just that because part of the terms of this proposal is that ukraine is going to have to pay this back down the line under the terms of the proposal. ukraine has the opportunity to negotiate with the white house in terms of just how much it's going to be expected to pay back, but that's going to be done before november 15th of this year. so really at the end of the day, if you read between the lines this proposal looks like a great opportunity for washington to make some money and also turn ukraine into a debt slave state. now effective or not effective as long as the west sends something, then it feels that it's holding up. it's the side of the bargain. after all, the waste oldenburg sees it. it's up to the west to supply the weapons and it's up to the key every seem to supply made for the grinder you create. he needs people and equipment. need allies can provide the equipment by supplying more support than they do now. as for people, ukraine should provide that he has just passed
2:25 pm
a new law extending the age of conscription. i am confident that ukraine will make the decisions needed to mobilize and necessary number of people. so once again, for his part is definitely keeping up his end of this deal with the devil as he just recently signed off on a new draconian conscription law that would lower the conscription age 225 years of age. and this is something that the us as want it for a long time. so it's very possible that this new uh, this new proposal of ukrainian aid and the proposal to send patriot ad air defense missiles systems could be somewhat of a gift to key of for signing off on this law. but this is also something that is a curse for the ukranian people and definitely a hard sell for them. as we've seen. based on the fact that the head of ukraine's presidential office has been traveling around the country, essentially trying to convince people to die for their country. we know people are flying in and we hear is from regional governors and from the people themselves,
2:26 pm
which help to some of the most dangerous places to rally citizens and soldiers for the fight. we tell people your name will be in the history books. so we've got some more of a good cop bad cop situation here, where the good cop is trying to inspire the glory of martyrdom in the ukrainian people. and the bad cough is essentially ready to snatch up 25 year olds in the middle of the night. and send them to the front to die for a country that's essentially going to be even more indebted to its western patrons than it already is. at the end of this war. can know the story to bring you today, and we go to germany. the are to the effect, i should say, because the present, that's one. i was accused europeans, including germany, of quote, prioritizing allison's over locals. and those threatened to send $30000.00 all levels to burden. i'm to london to demonstrate the dangers of living alongside them . the statement comes in and rising tensions over potential trophy hunting import funds proposed by germany in the u. k. and i get the sense that they think these
2:27 pm
elephants are bets. i get the sense that many seeing these elephants are human beings, and the majority would perceive the value of these elephants as superior to human life. and what's one, why don't true for a moment, the experience leaving with them? that's why this offer was made to yourselves to have them in hyde park. a very complex value based policy problems is put so on i is home to over a 3rd of the content is alex is a management decisions have made. so consequences on this basis as a whole. and it all started earlier this year in germany is the environmental ministry flow to the proposal to impose scripts and limits on the import of hunting sophie the into the country out of concern for poaching presidents. and we'll put the message to believe that cause a vase and i have caused the local elephant population to balloon, to nearly a 150000. and that hunting the mysterious soul component of population controlled
2:28 pm
before the giant um animal. at this point, the president says it is very easy to the team building and have an opinion about apricots as between the phase particularly puts one not. and one possible solution . my present must cease to flow to was that gemini must rule the walk instead of simply talking the tool because he proposed the germans should live together with the animals in the same way if they're trying to tell which one to do. so just move from the president, those europeans, if they lived among the funds like we do, they would respond exactly the same way. perhaps they might be more brutal because they have a much stronger gun culture than we do. imagine you try to gather your goats at night. when you stumble up on an elephant, any charges you cannot alter on an elephant, you get squashed like when you squash. but a to when you mash, it must be as in bob way, even so that freak i have old slide to reduce the number of a low facility, a tibbetts feed at certain points of but nearly all the methods and ways of doing so have been met with criticism,
2:29 pm
or rather outside condemnation by you go to the and watch them in the or rather needs to go p is seem to not understand at this point, is that the region that has a sustainable bubble, or rather a tearing capacity of elephant. and that to the overall population has resulted in several instances of conflicts between the animals and the people. and in most cases, if we have in both the villages the causing damage to cross field, especially in some districts do. but so i know with the a more animals than people and african governments are often angered by the idea of wisdom, countries telling them that to the practice is an ethical. hence the 3 to 5 books. one was president at this moment, but at this point, the african countries, the standing, the ground and open b, calling the band, a neo colonial into fear is, would this suffering to ride to, to sustain the use of offered the services?
2:30 pm
well, we also got reaction from global affairs on the list and commented, or victor kelley, who stays western countries, either don't seem to care or know about the day to day priorities of the people of baltimore. no one who is your program likes you. um. switch to rarely on the ticket position and my wife should dirt from the stump of your fee will pay you the 1st time you might be. which means it is you dressed? i 9 miles asked whether you want to be able to dress or a man. yes or you won't be stuck between mazda or mark it is festival. she won't be here to answer the peak like yours, right. is it that it's, it's um, below the fonts more than us as africa, the entire, from apple edition. another me there. why and see what it looks like. i'm a fi now in this space. so.
