6:03 pm
more israeli cities have come under fire from hamas rocket. some of them landed in assault, causing some damage. and 12 people in israel haven't killed in attacks by groups in golf since the conflict began last week. rockets were also fired from southern lebanon near the city of tier 2 eds, northern israel, sharon's went off in lower illegally and crayons, and people were seen scrambling for cover in haifa. the israeli security forces says it's hitting a number of targets in lebanon with artillery shells. well, we have correspondence covering every angle of this complex data holder is in southern beirut. iran con is standing by 1st in southern israel. first, let's go straight to somebody who is in gaza. me what is the latest from the latest now that is for me and when it's in the
6:04 pm
house has been just targeted and another bombing on agriculture. and it has the same area and it is the own. so there is the bombing was invented by that which kill parents. and then a 2 year old daughter we pull it up so we knew that that woman was a mother which was, was pregnant. besides another man who was killed in the same area, the bombing of houses which continues so far. we hear also bombings from the guy from the sea and from these bombings. dashed more and more families to leave their houses did. now according to the government media office in more than 100000 people left, that house is not the order at under what schools, which you should know, but maybe about 15 percent of them. and that is better
6:05 pm
for the time it is if to the house of the time it is relative of their friends, it took it up and then now we have just been there some time. it's moving with their donkey carts with their cards or trucks are moving in the city, looking for a house, so you'd be used as a ship for infant apartment or, or any other place. another point there is a shortage when we come to the daily lives shortage in video because of the bombing of the agricultural the been part of gaza. that is lots of bombing over got chick. i get a country. that's why there is a shortage of video. because the bombing and if there is some, as which bombed the farm on it's come up,
6:06 pm
go to collect data. harvey's it is beside the problem over the tricity so far, which affect the work of the mid the teams and the even the municipality. and the life of people to actually each house you can, you can enjoy 3 or 4 hours of, of electric power. another point there is a problem to which after bombing, man, roads in gaza, sewage sewage inside the streets and municipalities working cars. that mean it's submitted to teams and they mentioned that that they wouldn't even that they have was a very old maybe 25 years old. very dire situation in garza. many thanks. saw the semi abu, solemn that 1st in golfer we can talk now to all correspond. iran, khan,
6:07 pm
who is in southern israel, enrolling several rockets, launched to as israel today took us through the latest. well in the last few moments, i don't know if you can still say that this will be cloud up there. it's. we've been seeing this all throughout the day. israel has been using his high tech weaponry by land and sea going in to gaza. you hear the booms, you hit that dull of so that it's been almost continuous. and then how much? 5 buckets, rockets, sometimes it flies back, flies, them above all life position. that's where i and don't comes into play. that's the rocky defense system. and that's where you see those kind of pops of smoke that you've seen in the pictures. now all of this is proving to be a challenge for the aid agencies because for 24 hours the us has had an 8 convoy at the bottom of this road, which is the seldom check point where they want to get this
6:08 pm
a convoy into god and they can't because use ratings of shut it down. now these really official explanation for the show thing is that there was a motor attack, the injured and israeli soldier. just with me, you can probably just say 2 more rockets coming up over that and what they want, you know, all what i'm saying is all of this is proven very difficult for the agencies and trying to get in that aid is pretty problematic. the 8 agencies are negotiating with the united, sorry, with these ready government they were hoping to get in today. that hasn't happened however, on this road is one of the main supply routes for these really all me have counted 3 tanks that have gone down this road. norman, past the carrier and a huge chart carrying heavy artillery. so these really are me still supplying its forces down the bottom of that road as carol, carol, we sell them, but it won't let be
6:09 pm
a to go through because they say it's just too dangerous. have us firing rockets, checkpoint money, thanks for the update iran. calm, the 1st in southern israel, also have a to say in a hot a who is in southern bay roots daniela's. talk about the rockets that are now coming from lebanon. this is not the 1st time that's happened. explain to us what's been going on. hello, calm has since been restored, like you mentioned, this is the 3rd incidence of its kind in the past week where walk its are fired, launched from south lebanon toward israel. most of them landed and open spaces or in the sea, and there have been no casualties. and no damage, but today it seems a bit different what we understand or what it appears is that a longer range rocket was you just a 12 kilometers north of paper. according to israeli media,
6:10 pm
there has been no claim or responsibility for the rocket fire this time around or in the past to occasion. so people and observers here are looking at these attacks really as a political message, a message that the another front could open. now the question is, who is sending these messages and the 1st attacks the lebanese, the army arrested a palestinian, who said that he launched the rocket in solid verity with his brethren and palestine who are coming under under fire. but many of servers will say, those walk kids cannot be fired without the least knowledge of has been law or has been at least turning a blind eye or wanting to use this to send. some sort of a message has been ha, ha, mass, they're part of the so called resistance axis in the region. so the message is we can open another front. this would put more pressure on this release as strain the israeli army even further. but like i mentioned,
6:11 pm
there has been no claim of responsibility for these rockets attack. okay, many things about playing a whole the levers in southern route while in the past few hours, you as president joe biden has spoken to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu . the white house released the statement saying the following. the president convey to the prime minister that he expected a significant de escalation today on the path to a cease fire. let's go lie tall whitehouse corresponding kimmy hawk. kimberly precedent by dint ramping up the pressure on israel. yeah, there's no question that this is an incremental step when it comes to diplomatic pressure by the, by ministration. because what we've seen here is, well, the u. s. president has not called for an outright the fire. he has been escalating on monday. his public statement said that he supported as cease fire. now, as you've reported, he says that he expects
6:12 pm
a significant de escalation today on the path to a cease fire. now, many within the president's own party say this still is not far enough, but 29 senators of the democratic party have called for an immediate cease fire. and that's what they say. they want the wording from the white house to be, but there is no question that the u. s. president is using his long standing relationship with the israeli prime minister to put pressure on u. s. allies that the united states historically supports militarily to the tune of billions of dollars each year. now what's also important to note, and all of this is that the white house is still conducting what it calls quiet diplomacy, telephone diplomacy. it has and continued to engage with phone calls on a range of different levels, including the deployment of a mid level diplomat to the region to speak with both israeli and palestinian leaders and as well those channels of communication to hamas because the united
6:13 pm
states considers how us a terrorist organization. therefore there are no direct conversations, but what they are doing is engaging with us allies in terms of car egypt. jordan, in a way to try and bring about a resolution. so the goal, according to the white house press secretary, has been and continues to be that they are pushing for a de escalation. now we have this another phone call by the us president, the 4th 5th. this violence began in order to try and put the pressure on the israeli military to see this military operation. we've noted so far that the comments from the west president have not been successful in de escalating violence . there certainly is help from the united states standpoint that this time it will be different. kimberly, give us a difference of a sense of how much pressure president biden must be on the not just domestically, but internationally as well. well i think it's really important to mentioned
6:14 pm
domestically. it's not just members of congress, although that is significant in terms of the pressure. but also you're right. it is international. we saw when we had a foreign leader coming, a foreign minister from australia last week, standing side by side with us secretary state. there was a quite a bit of daylight between their comments with respect to this issue. well, the u. s. continues to say the israel has right to defend itself. we've seen much stronger statements coming from u. s. allies. but here in the united states that can't be underscore just how much pressure the us president is on. not just for members of his own party in the u. s . congress, and that is significant. but we saw when he traveled to the us state of michigan yesterday. how much protesting he was facing there. there was, there is a significant arab american population in and around the area of detroit, michigan. we saw protest there,
6:15 pm
people were very vocal thing. we do not want our tax dollars as american citizens to be used to attack and kill our friends and our family from our whole lab. and he's also had a very uncomfortable conversation on the tarmac as he was leaving michigan from one of the congress members who is tell us didn't in rashid, to leave, and who has family in the west bank. so the president is facing it from all sides. and it appears that that pressure has resulted in this latest statement from the white. how can we help that 1st at the white house? many thanks. while the mind, the us now backing fees fall in gaza has been blocking efforts of the un security council for a joint public statement calling for de escalation among the permanent members, france is seeking a resolution for a cease fire rushes. foreign ministry has warned israel as ambassador, that actions leading to more civilian casualties in gaza is unacceptable. all members of the european union except hungry,
6:16 pm
have also been pushing for an end to hostilities. meanwhile, on thursday, the un general assembly is meeting also to discuss the conflict or earlier we spoke to the french finance minister bruna lemaire about their push for diplomacy. i think that my call has been re key and deeper my. she can be blocked on these long lasting conflict that we need to pull as his fire. there is a need for you promoting action and that's why a backlog has proposed these initiatives with a jeep and with a jordan. i think these are very positive. you should tease, and once again, i think that it was way in the world. everybody's waiting for a cease fire is expecting a fire. that's exactly the road that has been proposed by phones and by people that's got a little analysis almost rami ob, do is the chairman of the euro,
6:17 pm
mediterranean human rights monitor. he joins us from a stumble via skype. many thanks for speaking to us on the new sound. so funny diplomatic efforts to bring about the fees fire from numerous countries including egypt have not been successful. what can, from spring to the table? i think now france have some somehow have changed their teachers. we need to know from the beginning that you can't do it. maybe you and member states at the beginning they talk, don't get found. why, maybe adopting is really not active for the constellation by saying that or the by picking the wrong cut of cut off point for or the date for the constellation by saying that the reason behind the discussion is a luncheon goc expired policy infections. however, the for good that the context of the situation,
6:18 pm
we should not forget that or one of the last or over the 1st 3 months of this year . and there has been a lot like the least boy on for is not a t decayed and is, or if you wanted to. and by pushing them to totally meet this week, it squeezing them to the corner. so i think france position, in addition today it'll be on bush position. now, what are you alive that they are strategy towards feed and tug in, but i feel like it gives wrong, but typically we are talking about correlation that came bark of a b t. repetitive cycle of flow of collisions that is all coming out of not only to that you and the fonts, but even for a human rights organization. i think france and, you know, the allies that even eating side has the big them is in the side as we know off they will be on. and i mean, it comes for maybe
6:19 pm
a few days to eliminate the infections, capabilities and infrastructure. but how we bought, what we seen that is that brian has no gets bad. and, or what it do is to attack to beat young hom cbd on the punch in order to, to condition them into submission. ok, but the point is, can france or europe in general actually do anything to bring about a sci fi? do they have any leverage on israel? the, i think i think the have to do otherwise. they will, whose very meaning get credibility or the small margin of the ability the have. we should not forget these crimes actually audit cutting by indices if you get deeply i did bush and by you this member states toward itc investigation and to war crimes in that part of it. so i think they are in the
6:20 pm
embarrassing situation. all 3, just totally for crimes cut by is that me make that you position. but in what a thing target the targeting children getting infrastructure, eliminating families we may actually have to come to the door of a deliberately attack against unpredicted home from it is in gaza. so the tuition is embarrassing and frank you, if they don't offend position toward the human rights violation, they will found that the tuition and not only in palestine or senior direct it is but in the whole region, something else other than the se. even if france can come up with some sort of resolution that most of europe is happy with. what about the united states? will they support it? i think then i did the states know the position,
6:21 pm
even the state was she now tend to somehow soften them before the beginning. they gave the lead life for is not in the they're just applying for the crimes. got to buy it before the tech goes about to quality. that the issue locks almost. what now, if the thing is clear that in general, it will be in your own state that you and america or united states all this once a month for the client. got it by is, are you on a senior directive? benefit of edition delivering of the crime is algebra, sit down. so america is an embarrassing situation, particularly biting who, who door to predict the human rights and to this been to human rights. and he came with a brahman to have a new eat all of the biggest dicks to put that money. thanks for speaking to us and giving us your thoughts. remy, do chairman, if you wrote mediterranean human rights,

6:37 pm
like we'd draw up plans and wait until the fire happens so that we are able to reach people and deliver the assistance and do the assessment of the school. the 1st step is to do the assessment of the damages and do fundraising for the, for the rebuilding and the we have in addition of the damage the school for everything that related to the physical side of the, of resuming education, which is going to be expensive exhausting and would take a lot of effort from, from international donors, from organizations here on the ground. but there's also the psychological. busy part of it or the children themselves will be suffering from trauma and from other disorder and various disorders and impacts on their mental health. getting back to the mindset of being able to, to go back to school and wake up every morning looking forward to get out of the house and go to school, which is not the case. this is
