a deal. and not only is really representative denying and detecting the claims carried out to this meta, they also say this in the one that should be stopped in this whole thing. it is so that because this case even bytes very name the application of the convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. anything does a street suggest an inversion of reality? if anybody should be told that enough is enough. it is truly south africa and not easily as to what points do we say enough specific because repeated attempts to expose the provision on the measured procedure of these courts in such advice and seem to come on the lawyers off as well even went as far as saying that, so that's a, is exploring the international court of justice to how much um, gave me the past military is over the if and because the war and that's an order
1:04 am
sold by. so that's because for is for as well to withdrawal from guys that would be denied and it's the right to self defense of oft uh, the attorney said that the country is repeated request for the court order as well, to stop it from military operations against guys that demonstrates it so that because desire to, to preserve how much ruling does that and that it is shocking that south africa alienvault nation. the full take is, racism now aligns itself will come up with which they refer to as a racist organization so that they could respond to it and say that this is not true. in fact, this is a human rights issue. it also says that it is acting in the name of palestinians who have no independent representation at the u. n. for instance, we do believe that our own intention, yeah, has literally been to bring to the full consent that i need to national crimes. and particularly the crimes of crimes which is genocide in this case. and we are really serious about that from a human rights perspective. and not be essentially here as
1:05 am
a list by his though that way you to defend to protect from us from destruction. so that's a can also say is that to the previous rulings from the bench telling is well, to prevent the genocide have not succeeded in protecting palistine isn't does a so it is see change and explicit or that this time we will to share in a few weeks the decision on this very urgent request that so that because filed as that decision is expected. next week, the pentagon has announced a floating peer, it's built to assist guys that has been completed and installed the 1st batch of 8 has been delivered according to the us military, the was sent. com, deputy commander says, a plan has been developed to to ensure the safety of all personnel, the protection of us forces participating as a top priority. and as such, in the last several weeks, the united states and israel have developed an integrated security plan to protect all the personnel. we are confident in the ability of this security arrangement to
1:06 am
protect those involved. well, the project has been launched over 2 months after president biden unveiled, the plan is really forces will be in charge of security on shore. well, to us navy warships patrol the area in the eastern mediterranean sea. the vessels are equipped with the range of weapons and capability is to protect the american troops and its allies. under the u. n. will coordinate distribution of the systems in gaza. it's humanitarian affairs spokesperson says. a floating docks cannot replace land crossings any and all 8 into gaza is welcomed by any by any route. however, getting a 2 people that need into and across the guys i cannot and should not depend on a floating duck far from where it needs a most acute land roost on the most viable, effective and efficient aid delivery method. which is why we need all crossing cards to be opened. meanwhile, the foreign ministers of 13 countries,
1:07 am
including all g 7 nations, except for the us, are calling on israel to open all border crossings for 8, especially the roof of crossing. the joint statement highlights the urgent need to alleviate the growing humanitarian crisis in gauze and warns israel against the continuing is raphael sensitive. dimitri dealing on a positive or former stomach products actions spokesperson says that by delivering some aid, washington is trying to save israel from further prosecution. in the genocide case, a, this board was built to, to present to set up a 0 from further prosecution over its genocidal siege over the uh, the guys district. uh, the political dynamics and the as well as science. and with this department, says genocidal values will not allow the government to adhere to international pressures to open the costs of ones with gaza and provide
1:08 am
a humanitarian even to the medicine. to 2400000 palestinians trapped and the gaza strip to the point that the, the state of israel house and even as is complicit with the terrorist gang said at that age a attempting to go through the course and of course into a gaza. but at the same time when the united states, there comes and saves the state of israel to save some of its a position in terms of uh uh, have any gateway to enter every it needs into the gaza strip. to kinda shows that uh by then press the button. there we go. on genocide, joe is willing to take it the extra effort the extra mile to cool is loyalty to the so premises design is state of the most land crossing is to guys remain close,
1:09 am
making it impossible for food trucks to deliver much needed supplies. one border point still operating is kamesha long r t middle east bureau chief maria from ocean. i traveled there with one of the a drivers or the recess. he am spontaneous parking on a dead end street somewhere between jordan and jerusalem for security reasons. we could not disclose the exact location i am and now his real name starts the engine and inspects the cargo. having been a truck driver for a decade, i'm and lost his job due to the worst impact on the logistics industry. on his 1st day back to work in 7 months, he embarks on an important mission chief and see when it's hearing aid to guys. as far as i understand this is that the going from jordan to guys us through these really territory. so here i'm on the yes we load the dates of the alan b bridge, shown the joel daniel border until deliver it to because i am so long crossing.
1:10 am
we'll drop it off at the crossing and we'll have back and it might sound like an easy job, but it became a challenge recently for months. do settlers have been present in 2 minutes? hearing aids from going to guys are blocking roads attacking trucks holding they goals for hours and vandalizing, cars and supplies. less on the road has been piles of sugar flour, rice grain that are desperately needed in war torn starving, the gaza. last week, several trucks were set on fire rock place online groups where people paced information on where the trucks will be calling on all those available to come and stop the aid the mouse. so what's in front of the main argument, notion, any terry and assistance before all is really hostages are free. i guess you've
1:11 am
seen the pictures of the attacks all the humanitarian tracts. best things for gaza, how you feel about it, a war and about your trip. it's very dangerous smell just a little, but what can we do? what do you just done by all people and deliver the to them? for 45 am, simon is ready to go the as soon as we start moving, we support at the lease car. for a moment. we think it is for the truck security, but it is not well its really supposed to ensure the safety of international humanitarian aid transported through its territory. it doesn't provide convoys with passports or when attacks happen,
1:12 am
police arrive at the same day when occasionally arresting the most active settlers . but it doesn't stop others from continuing the very next day. the u. s. has condemned the souls as a total outrage. jordan has criticized israel failing to safeguard crucial supplies, while human rights groups labeled these incidents as acts of terror, the 6 am, we try to engage him and in conversation, but he appears focused and reserved. it's about 2 hour drive. tough is already covered with threats remain the while on the road. we support a number of trucks similar to ions,
1:13 am
although many of bound for guys um they avoid traveling together in a convoy to minimize the risk of crossing paths with stuff. there is the 7, 10 am we arrive to the frontier. data is less than kilometer away where the care i'm show on crossing on a is road as a boulder. it leads to the southern parts of the probably seen it in play. it has been the key entry for a few, many tear in a 12 guys and since the 1st try for cents for this 3, but it still remains. so since the beginning of the war in a pull for more than 27000 vehicles, more than half a 1000000 tons of supplies were sent to the guy this trip and most of it went through here. this vital passage has been closed for some time following a deadly walk if attacked the time my super responsibility for. but now these
1:14 am
really authorities say that it's reopens and it is functioning in a day. and we see that there are many trucks here. some of them that go in through the check for and some of them are going to be inspected and continue they way to the guy, the 3 where the supplies, they are clear enough and such a desperate need humanitarian organizations and international organizations like the u. n. r alarming, that's family spreading there in the in place where literally everybody out of 2300000 population suffers from food and water shortages. find one on his truck through each tier. luckily without any trouble on the roads. but with a set there is a tax on humanitarian convoys, tests and full gaza being on the rise, we can say that everybody could be that lucky and even his next 3 would be different. right? for an auction now to you, reporting from israel and kept them shut them. crossing france
1:15 am
has declared a state of emergency and is overseas territory of new caledonia. i am in a bid to quell the protest. parents has sent a 1000 additional trips to the south pacific islands, some 16000 kilometers away from the french mainland. the french justice minister says order must be restored swiftly. because the 3 woods in my circular awesomeness speed and system. why am i saying this? because it is imperative that republican order be restored and it is imperative just as it was during the riots we experienced in mainland fonts, which have very similar points to what is happening in new caledonia that we have these offices. and the judiciary must play its full policy and providing these offices. so i would like to remind you that the justice system was there for us during the riotous new caledonia as a french tony in 2024. it's time to look a bit like algeria as a french colony in the fifty's and sixty's when there was a,
1:16 am
a fight for self determination there as well. and that's exactly what perish is looking to prevent. we're talking here about an island that's closer to us. strongly i in the pacific then is to france than what exactly happened to kick off all of this new unrest. well, 1st president menu is not because really party and the french national assembly. on the other side of the world, i might add here in paris, decided to introduce a new law, meaning the french people who have lived in new caledonia for 10 years could vote in the islands elections. which means that thousands more people living there would be added to be electra roles. now some local theaters are saying that the new move risks die, moving the vote of the native cannot just saw and we feel oppressed, we are angry, everything is happening over that. and we are one dream, i'll be the kind of people being heard. must go sure, my, what i realize is that the french have never thought about as they talk about
1:17 am
sharing and balance. but that's them of being the case. that's gonna pop, but we can't go on like this. we won't get anywhere with threats, violence or our discussion that works for everyone as needed so that we can find sincerity, serenity and above all piece fit. so there's a sense to adding a 1000 the more voters instantly to the islands voting base is a way of tipping the scales by at the very least, di, losing any block voting by the pro independence crowd, which heresies as absolutely critical to suppress in some way all the seems to have prompted independence officials to just kick off some for and outreach like and as a by john just last month. and then basically do need francis trying to implement at the colonial policy in terms of legislation. new caledonia has same various agreements with funds from time to time through them. paris was supposed to support the independence of new caledonia. but today, frances,
1:18 am
trying to limit the rights of ethnic minorities by making changes to the constitution. today, france does not comply with its obligations, thereby deviating from neutrality. francis trying to prevent the holding of a 3rd or random on the subs, terminate sion of the people of new caledonia. we believe that the world community should recognize the right of all peoples to self determination. we continue our struggle for independence. the question is, why would france water create a major new flash point with this new law that could drive the independence movement to make the kind of trouble that is already seen? 5 people killed and unrest of thousands of police deployed from mainland france. surely, it couldn't have anything to do with frances wandering at all in any cost to water down any possibility the independent tests would never have the chance to govern over the 3rd largest producer of nichol for things like making electric car batteries. and it really represented 6 percent of the world's output,
1:19 am
new caledonia is, or it couldn't possibly mean that the movement to grow into something like what happened in algeria resulting in president shelf. and they've got, basically just casting off algeria as a french calling me. and in this particular case, terraces, fear is that if that ever happened with new caledonia, well, the big benefit and the big gains would probably go to beijing or even maybe to the us since and bassinger was sniffing around last october. the master from france went there and, and paid a bit of a visit, which was kind of interesting. meanwhile, a new caledonian, indigenous group, known as the canucks has organized a rally in paris. protesters are outraged by the french governments, the state of emergency declaration in their home territory. the minorities union leader has condemned paris for choosing to send troops. we wish for the situation
1:20 am
to come down, of course, and to see the french government make a strong political statement rather than send troops. that's not something that will get talks back on track. starting a conversation would be a strong political statement, sending the army to another country is not usually to hong talks. anti french, the sentiment is not only being felt in new caledonia, the senegalese prime minister has suggested the possibility of expelling french troops was small, and sancho says their presence undermines the west african countries sovereignty more than 60 years after our independence, we must question the reasons why the french army, for example, steal benefits from several military bases in our country and the impact of this presence on their national sovereignty and the strategic autonomy. i reiterate here the desire to send a goal to have its own control, which is compatible with the last in presence of foreign military bases in synagogue. to the son of the legislators spoken a joint conference with a french left wing politician john luther milan,
1:21 am
shot the 1st political figure from paris to be welcome to this sentence all by the new government that has been in power for 6 weeks. some $350.00 french troops are currently stationed in the african nation under a bilateral security packed layers. senegalese neighbors, molly burkina, faso, and these are also ousted french troops from their soil eroding traditional french influence on the continent. below some of the ways premier also spoke of the necessity for the country to switch to a more flexible currency pegs to at least 2 other forms of cash. as of now, some of all uses the euro peg to see if a front currency shared with 7 other west african nations, which is criticized for being a tool for french influence in the region, author and foreign policy researcher in this, the whole region 10 o d up now and says it's time for african states to take responsibility for their own issues after the counterproductive french military presence. it is the i think
1:22 am
that we must assume all our responsibility is to take care of security ourselves. because the presence of the french army on african soil is obsolete, our security cannot be entrusted or subcontracted to a western power. even france, what is actually happening in the saw hills? there is an upsurge in organized crime and radicalism. we had the western army with france as a bridge had come to support the sa hill countries to beat down and try and over what is happening in the saw hill. unfortunately, this did not happen, but since taking charge of our own security in molly has in book you know, fast. so we have seen that the terrorists were, at least the criminals have backs down. so the french military presence has not served to put an end to cross border crime. and even if our armies are disorganized, it is with our own means that we are now fighting against criminals or radicals
1:23 am
throughout the sa hill. it is no longer a case of friends taking the lead and dictating what should be done to african countries. the rapidly advancing russian military has already taken 12 settlements, and new cranes are coverage. and just this week, as, according to moscow, the russian defense minister says its forces have also carried out a series of 28 strikes using high precision weapons on ukrainian military sites. the targets included air defenses, weapons, and ammunition depots, as well as drone facilities. western media is now sounding the alarm over the swift russian offensive, but despite their outcry at his news conference in china, president booting said ukraine itself paused. the russian advanced and hark of what is happening in the cock of direction is also default. the ukraine is showing residential areas of the board of territories, including belgrade. civilians are dying. it's obvious that shooting right into the
1:24 am
center of the city. if this continues, we will be forced to create a security zone. that's what we're doing. as for the city of car cost, we have no plans of taking cargo of today. and this week alone, moscow's forces have already gained more ground than cubes. troops were able to, during several months of their much hype to counter offensive last year. the trains president, his term expires next week, is blaming a lack of western weapons for the russian gains. plumber zalinski assigned a new law to urgently get more cannon fodder to the crumbling front lines. give us authorize the mobilization of conflicts from prisons. so according to ukrainian media report, some 10 to 15000 criminals will soon be rushed to battle with minimal training claims. the move is needed to make up for a critical shortage of manpower as regular military has been heavily depleted, while more weapons are not arriving fast enough from nato countries. veteran war
1:25 am
correspondent elijah magneer says, ukraine is struggling to find enough volunteers for a military conflict. it simply cannot when a desperate situation and that they cannot de mobilize the truth that all serving since the last 27 months. now they are going up on the old ages. they go to 25 years old now. and they, even though stopped or support a broad concept of support to own men will be called to assess the ukraine. so they really mature to just man. so therefore they would go to upon anyone to come and go and kill themselves in the bathroom feed. because they, they know how this is going to end up. and the reason why people all, not taking the initiative and join the army because they understand this is a law school. and even though it is kim, this them,
1:26 am
that europe knows that the americans understand that. but as long as you add, zalinski is then saying, i'm ready to fight to the not too great. and then the, what you're saying would be my guess, go and fight. and mobilize whatever you want, even convict or a youngsters, or the level of let b o a in the villages. oh, and they menissi bought a d o after you want, as long as you are happy to continue the war. as rest of the president put and wrapped up his official state visit to china, he spoke with the news media and har been up. next, you can watch that full news conference. stay with our team by the the some of these, if the mr. the mr. to and you see the exaggeration, your visit here has eliminated the whole world with a flurry of reports and publications. apparently, everyone understands that the future of today's rapidly changing world largely
1:27 am
depends on the position of rushing china and based on the results of your negotiations. here in china, i wanted to find out whether most going badging have a common understanding of what this future system i'll put your national security and international politics should be like. thank you, but it's just the hutch of public to that it's but it to the, to the 1st of all, i would like to think chinese president, she didn't think and the entire chinese leadership for their invitation. and for creating a very favorable, warm atmosphere for joint work. in general, the negotiations were very meaningful and eventful. this is obviously an official trip, of course, with some kind of state status. but undoubtedly this is a simple old work trip. from morning to evening, we spent almost a whole day together with both the chairman and his colleagues. there were a lot of topics to discuss the fact that the future depends on russia and china is partly only partly true, because the future of humanity depends on all of humanity. but of course,
1:28 am
china and russia are important components of modern civilization. and we have our own opinion on how we should develop. and our development will certainly influence the old partners on this planet. and we believe this development must on definitely be constructive and peaceful. it must take into accounts, not only our interests, but also the interests of whole international participants. and of course, we need to strengthen the emerging multi polar. well, there is no doubt that it is now taking shape before our eyes. and the world is becoming multi bonus. i think that everyone understands this very well and is aware of it. and it is important that those who are trying to maintain that monopoly on decision making on old issues in the world understand this. and i think they understand this very well. i don't think so. i know it. so you understand this very well. and in understanding this, they do everything can for this process to develop naturally, i repeat again,
1:29 am
peacefully, conflict free. and so that the opinions of all participants in the international process are fully taken into account. we were all looking for compromises in the rather complex decisions that we all face. we prepare for this prepared for this kind of work. i have repeatedly said, and the president of the people's republic of china has emphasized this that our interaction, our cooperation, our strategic partnership with china, is not directed against anyone. it is aimed at one thing, creating better conditions for the development of our country and improving the wellbeing of the people of china and the russian federation across law, russia. and if you find me, ask how did your informal meeting, which usually being go, which is your system said, had a very limited full of participants, but in particular, defense minister andre below, and security council secretary,
1:30 am
so they show good to partying. it, did you discuss, you create and, and what would you personally consider to be evidence of the queen's readiness to negotiate you in for an minister? certainly elaborate off have repeatedly said that wisdom partners can no longer be trusted. the station sister, yellowstone. yes. such a meeting to place in a streamlined form that we did indeed discuss many such issues that are important for bilateral relations. the topic of resolving the ukrainian crisis was touched upon. the chairman of the people's republic of china offered me an outline of what was discussed during his recent trip to europe, especially regarding his position on chinese peace initiatives. we have said many times, we believe that china is sincerely committed to resolving this problem. offers the various options and is very flexible. we discussed this, it something as for our counter partners, let's say in this case this concerns the ukrainian leadership and it's overseas masters primarily and you.
