cove at 19 live have come under attack. united nations is urging israel to allow humanitarian aid in but so far trucks carrying vital supplies happened stranded. we have a team of correspondence covering every angle of the conflict. we have kimberly hall case here, live outside the white house, if the american cool for a sci fi iran con, isn't southern israel. but 1st let's go live to suff. what i'll collude, who is in garza suffered, what is the latest where you are? we could hear more exclusions in different places over the guys all over the city and we also have a dock. there are some exclusions in the south. i got to start mainly and hun eunice out of the cities of the 1000 got a search. just a few minutes ago i received some,
9:05 pm
some phone calls from relatives and friends because people who are following days are in the media. the asked dr. the asked me if i hear about a new israeli installation because the lady, media, israeli officials talking about intensive stuff strike that might, cutty tonight. of course i don't have information about what the israelis are trying to do, but this is the situation in got. this is the general mood, the feed panic to 1000000 of godless know are staying home. most of them to huge are watching, chasing every single piece of the news. as we said earlier, the humanitarian crisis of people also are increasing. we went to the city, we went, jumps to the market supermarket, and most. 2 most of them they said they are running out of those that run in and
9:06 pm
out of essential elements are good because of 10 days of shut down. the think by last night was the most intensive strike that carried out on the south. they got slipping from you and i still didn't hear people say that is fear that might carry out another strong specifically in late, especially in late our we could do more. exclusion is also coming out to from, from got southern israel. but from what we see on the information we are receiving also from both sides, it's kind of thing and fighting leads that these students of the fire is listed on the previous days. meaning that the policy, you know,
9:07 pm
fighting either most of the soldier as the methods on the provide media with, with all the details that activities or also by the is what you're saying. most of the senior rockets is still the policy and fighting group say that. 2 they say please continue targeting union will retaliate and move on a longer range. look at on the on we split, she used to destruction from monday as additional areas specifically in the downtown many places next on near our office and the modem goes on. so there are lots of people look to the division that is i've been either completely destroyed in the,
9:08 pm
the number of people or q weighting their homes on taking, taking from you on your school or children. it's also increasing in my way or today at the to the building here i passed by one of the new the 1st question that everybody ask me is going to be a teacher. you hit anything about new development. so the answer will, will be known in the coming hours. okay, many thanks for that stuff. what color it's that in garza and that sound behind stuff was, was the prey is taking place in the most behind him. we can go to iran con, who is in southern israel, iran and bring us up to date with the latest from where you are because the bombardment into israel is also continuing.
9:09 pm
it's a strong to use bombardment. these are basically very low tech. rockets bombardment is the kind of what you use when you're describing the israeli actions into garza by land and sea. but those rockets attacks do still continue. we have some figures from these railey army. they say at least $200.00 rockets were fired into israel. they say that 90 percent of those rockets were actually intercepted by i and don't just before i came on that you know, i don't defend system came into opperation as a rocket flew in from gaza, which is just behind me. but the real story of the day is the failure of this, a convoy to get into the gaza strip for the 2nd day running, they shut down the border crossing is about a few call and i went down that road over that. and the israeli said because of a more to strike, which ended in israeli soldier on the crossing. they were going to keep it close to
9:10 pm
you and have been negotiating with these railways to try and keep it open. there was real hope earlier in the day that it might open but this was an indication of where any sci fi might be coming from anything if the aide convoy got through that would be a lot more hope that things were changing. however, we don't know about this is fine on these really side. we keep hearing different things from different people. we are hearing that the private is acting private, can't take it rather prime minister benjamin netanyahu is meeting with the army, chief and other security officials, but nothing has come out. so we had very strong words for amass. and for god the same we may, we, we might have to conquer. we, but what we're doing right now is an active deterrent. so all of that is going on. but the real story, as i've said, is for the 2nd day, much needed age. isn't going into garza and said it stuck on trucks on this side of
9:11 pm
the border rather where rather than where it's needed the most. okay, many thanks for that update. and ron called there for us in southern israel and we can turn now to our white house correspondent kennedy hawk. it's kimberly. so as we were saying earlier, president biden trying to ramp up the pressure on israel, but it doesn't seem like israel is listening. well because in part the, there is a store called pattern that israel has been able to really access impunity for decades. and the u. s. has always turned a blind eye. so in the eyes of the israeli government, it's status quo that this is always been the relationship historically. and so there's no reason to change. add to that. you have to remember that the us president has not actually in his statements called for a cease fire. earlier this week he called, or basically said there were support for the fire ben. today he said that he expected to see a significant de escalation today on a path to
9:12 pm
a cease fire that's not calling for the fire. so as long as you're not calling for what, why would be, is really government, he what? and so that's what we're seeing exactly, playing out as this is a real problem for the buyer and ministration. because on the one hand, he's getting a lot of pressure internally from members of his own democratic party to do more to halt this violence. he's tried to appease them will at the same time to keep the historic relationship in place. one that we should remind our viewers is in the tune of billions of dollars in military aid. well, at the same time calling for equal measures. the security for is really some palestinians, but only supply that military aid to the israeli government. kimberly stay with us because we're also hearing that progressive democratic congresswoman alexandria occasion. ok, cortez has been introducing a resolution aimed at blocking the plant sale of $735000000.00 worth of weapons to israel. this is her tweets from just
9:13 pm
a short while ago. she says the united states should not be robust stamping weapon sales to the israeli government. as they deploy our resources to target international media outlets. schools, hospitals, humanitarian missions, and civilians, sites for bombing, and the palestinian american congress woman was she? the tia has also tweeted on her support for the measures saying no more weapons to kill children and families, enough and young omar, another vocal critic of us support israel has tweeted, let's make no mistake even if the current escalation wasn't rage raging. congress should be questioning the sales of these types of weapons, israel and any country in the world that has committed human rights abuses, congressional oversight on arm sales is long overdue. this return to kimberly, i wonder how much pressure tweets like this
9:14 pm
a put on president biden. well, in terms of the pressure in terms of accountability, it is certainly making it more and more difficult because you have to remember this is a very vocal faction within the democratic party known as the squad, the women that you've read out, those tweets there, add to that you have to remember this comes on the heels of very strong statements coming from even the house speaker, nancy pelosi, who believes it's time for a cease fire. add to that you have the democrats in the us senate, more than half of them are calling for an immediate cease fire. so this is a precedent that is under pressure. now we should point out with respect to this resolution that has been introduced, but it's largely symbolic. it will not result in these weapons not being sent to israel. but what it does do is it sort of gives some leverage if you will, to try and put more pressure not only on the president to use his power and sway to
9:15 pm
say, look at we may not deliver these weapons as scheduled unless you bring about to cease fire. so that's what they're trying to do on the what have their try to pressure and protests, but at the same time they're trying to use what way they have in order to bring it in to the violet money. thanks for that can be home for us. the white house colored cojo me is a member of our ben islam make relations with hum us. he joins us by skype, from an undisclosed location. many thanks to speaking to us on algeria, netanyahu has made it clear again today publicly that he has no intention of backing down and its targeting of hamas and its affiliates in garza. what is your response to that? thank you for having me and can god that's a lot of reporting from gaza. the time is really oddison and has attacked the media
9:16 pm
offices in july. our nifty, always saying that that means more escalation and more means more and forgetting to more a reaction from all people. and there is a sense from gather that di me is insisting and all of our human human. it's adrian dire situation and continuing committing crimes against humanity and war crimes and gaza. this is what, nathan ya, i pictured for us in the resistance. we have a reaction against the atrocities and the offensive. all of that been y'all on. these are me. that's what we are doing. the key for any de escalation is in the hand of the agora, says that is the israeli autumn. okay, you say you are determined to continue then. but when, how must fires rockets? it's the civilians in gaza who are paying the price with that livelihood. so fall
9:17 pm
227 people killed 64 of them children. how do you live with that? we, we are, we are feeling really better than we are to the depth of bubble because we are our children and the on my family. they are every family, it will be. the problem is that we did not have a choice. this war has been imposed on us. rather, it's not a war. it's an aggression. it's an offensive from the israeli side. they have attacked our innocent people and a lot some more can be in the city of hand that's above all of our city and they are keeping continuing touching it, targeting certainly, and it's not big rockets or how much, how much has stopped b. i toss at these as, as, as minimize the at those cities of aggression. what we need to know over a year that we are defending ourselves on the international community is not giving
9:18 pm
us a choice. look at what the american administration, how they have prevented the real situation from the international community when they have to go to the council statements of visit, be the incidents over there. and the time they are, are you report was saying that they did not have a woman called for the sci fi, i think so that, that they want to give more opportunities to be killing of our people going to be me. oh, and there's all media from our people and got some some things, a lot of aids and hundreds of millions of beds, although i see under 70000000, i think as an external aim for the actual is what they are getting at the $500000000.00 a year as an, as a yearly annual edge. so the is really awesome. and the thing is that to, to cut it short that we yeah,
9:19 pm
we are with no choice. we are defending ourselves. if the enemy will stop doing it, we will, we will need thought about that. so what we are receiving from the mediators is nothing needs to be seriousness of this tuition and gaza. ok. you say you have no choice. israel says how much is using resident buildings and people living in god as shields, which is why they end up being targeted. what is your response to that? you actually we have been listening. so this baganda, this like for the last 4 were offensive all but a gas. why did they have shut the media offices in july though or if they are not afraid from the actual i really phase of their processes over there. i really cannot. how was any, how much operatives in that building in the july building?
9:20 pm
no, no, no, maybe we are. maybe we're having some a media offices. i don't remember that, but we have around about 18 to 20 offices from different countries in the world, regional and then the nationally, 2nd thing, which i want to say that if they are really i mean it about about this, like why they've been they show us a satellite images which shows those missiles are coming, are using that human being just to be clear, you said how much had media offices in the july building. moby, i don't, i don't know exactly. israel says it's destroyed a lot of your infrastructure. how much does infrastructure, including underground tunnels, and that it's going to set you back years. what is your response to that? this is another, i mean the ally which they aim to
9:21 pm
attack on the status of the distance checkups over there. we are continuing with our rockets and maybe it will be in more ranges and more destructive. we've managed for the last 48 hours, so attack over at a base is really on the we've managed to attack their energy lines, managed to back their own amenities, water and we sent over that man met his them say what they but they say the feel can judge how much we are still on our position. paula, why send the check the wife to defend a lot of innocent people and gather in all over palestine. but at the end of the day, no matter how much damage, why little damage you inflict on israel, it's not an even playing field. israel is much stronger than new militarily,
9:22 pm
so you will always lose the battle is this is not the case. this is. yeah, this is good question. actually a we need to remember that we are adapting what so called low intensity warfare. that is the lower water because it's a symmetrical war. we are not the not me, we are not safe, but we are resistance against classical conventional arsenal. which are using staples and military industrial like after the 5 and the missiles was the reaching for the 60 meters in the ground. rather than the other hand, today, i was checking for the targets that there is this sense we're able to do what we were able to engage with our enemy. and as our drones are bad, which they are on cameras on the bank was or propeller on sand. they managed to
9:23 pm
attack on the military targets and go back with information. on the other hand, we have managed to tackle the batteries of the iron dome, the batteries of data on the, on for those to just those military specialists. they know when you want to target, i mean something which is really cost constant or a moving target. you need to know very well via x and y, and then that set to 6 of those things. but i saw there's this, there were many a bill got a big loss. and the, and i mean i was talking about the load in density war for which is based on 2 elements. that is the security bar. then of course, i would say and the economy cost of a the stock exchange him is that i am has most more than 30 percent of it's a stop to stand on the i are on the society aspects are more than 70 percent of
9:24 pm
days later. so the society, they are living their lives with more attention and the show that it's because of the policies of their own leadership. this is how we proceed our military. so clearly, clearly, your weaponry has improved since previous conflicts. you are able to do more damage than you have had been able to do in previous years. where are you getting your weapons and expertise from good question again about this is, this is an aggregated expertise which has been learned by our people. and our men whole has managed to have this all experience with the passage of time and with haven't called the nation and exchange of information with the only muslim,
9:25 pm
oh my if you would say and all places which is a granted right for us because we are living beneath your patience so we have right to gather all expertise from everywhere. let it be by the it is the iran or the any other places which we have taken exp, experiences, and which we have taken up game experience. and we have again also physical rockets and they could be expected on the range level and on the magnitude of the explosion. and also on the accuracy, our people are better educated. and then we'll educated men that they have 5 to change themselves even a locally. and we are proud to know that most of our military set up today is being created and,
9:26 pm
and developed with local abilities. if israel was to come to you now with a cease fire, would you, would you stop? and what would your conditions be? this question should be like, there are some requirements for any step to be taken forward. what we have started is a reaction atrocities which has been committed. we have submitted our own requirements on demand to the mediators. the regional one at a muslims on the international invoice came to us. and now when we, when i would say there are some tedious efforts for them from media, but in a moment we did not receive any good sign from the other side that they are really serious to. so board that was, that is nobody should ask us as
9:27 pm
a victim what you will do, what if i would ask the same question they should have taken they should have brought some answers from both agra says an offer and offense, and this is exactly what i want to say, i mean, after, on every, by the, from us in the blood of his family, the blood of those innocent children is very dear to them. there are some requirements we have been now almost 12 or 13 days. those requirements has to be fulfilled. so this to discuss further about what is called ca file. so i just wonder what your end game is here because we've seen this before, 200620082014. this keeps happening again and again, the lands and air and sea blockade doesn't and gaza, still besieged more of your people, die. and yet here you are,
9:28 pm
you sound proud of what you've achieved in terms of your military abilities. yes, when to see we are, we are having our noble cause. those sacrifices are, it's the price of our freedom at the price which we are finding good and the track of all of the the $1.00 the other hands. we are having the international community who are still not able to impose guarantee will make the 5, abide by and behave according to the div. that's what you are mention at all. when you just asked the international community and the national institutions, i want you broadly that there is really 5 have violate every deal which we have brought with them. and every time those guaranteeing side they are helpless because there's really simply are always running immune with their own crimes that even
9:29 pm
united nation who claim that they want to make the world more to say for a lot of really claiming that we have been rather hungry for the nation against israel, but unfortunately they are without the without empowering tools in order to make it behave and abide by those by those the color codes, ami many thanks for your time. colored could tommy, a member of our been a salami relations with ham. us still ahead on al jazeera in spain points the finger of blame as migraines continue to pour into one of the thing played from morocco. and for the golf top players have been hits with a warning ahead of the years. second major championship. ah

9:33 pm
into the fighting. despite global calls for as far as roles can't take a prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has refused to set the timeframes in the hostilities. 227 people have been killed in god. i'm always ready. cities have come under fire from home. um i work at some of them landed and i start causing some damage. 12 people in israel have been killed and attacked by groups and gothic since the conflict began last week. us president joe biden has told israel's prime minister. he expects a significant escalation in the offensive on gaza immediately. that has been neglected by benjamin netanyahu, who is vowing to continue the military operation. while the un sexy, general spokesman was asked a short time ago about netanyahu's response to joe biden, while not addressing it directly, he did echo course for. com. we want to see
9:34 pm
a stop to the fighting. as soon as possible, we want to see a stop the fighting. immediately. there needs to be a halt to the aerial attacks to the rockets, to the artillery strikes, going from one side to the other. civilians need to be able to live in peace. we need to get that humanitarian aid into, into gaza. for our part, our special coordinator tour, venice line is actively engaged with all sides on the ground in order to work towards that end. i speak to my co pre agent, who joins us from arlington. virginia is a senior fellow hudson institute and a former us intelligence officer, military advisor. many, thanks for your time today. you've followed a number of these conflicts between israel and palestine. what would you say is different this time round in terms of the type of weapons and the tactics that have
9:35 pm
been used by both sides? well, thank you for how do we just heard from the hum official he basically credited iran with this increase capability. we're seeing os and p i j be able to use rockets, they weren't able to use in the past. this is much different from any, any rocket garage on israel that we've seen. iran focused on establishing a land bridge, 3 rock serial 11 on to be able to supply these militia for these proxies. like come off and light p i. j with advanced rockets and they're making these rockets more precise. the iron dome is taking up the majority of them because they're actually headed towards civilian targets. the ones that they don't take out, and the ones that are going off in the distance and hitting and warm lines. so because of the intensity of the iron don't response, it actually is signaling that these rockets are becoming more precise. and the
9:36 pm
sheer volume of these rockets is intended to overwhelm the iron dome capability. ready it's good that we're seeing groups like lebanese is the last day out of this fight because that's what iran wants in the future. the only to use, let me just the law with longer range missiles, iraqi militias even being able to wire from iraq 0 to be able to basically attack israel from multiple runs and exhausted fire and don't capability. and that's what the united states should be very concerned about is you want hands in these attacks in terms of israel as priority when it comes to hum us it seems to be this underground network. busy of tunnels, tell us a bit more about those tunnels because it, it is on to sound the priority for hamas to get rid of those. yes. so so the, the ideal military target you want is to be able to see how mos moving rockets into
9:37 pm
cleared areas and launching them from areas. that's not what's happening. hamas uses these networks. ready to move rockets and missile components into civilian areas in order to fire them from somewhere in there. and lots of social media platforms, they, they highlight and prioritize mentioning the deaths of children and women as a result of uses really counter strides on how much positions designed to maximize the collateral damage and the killing of innocent palestinian women and children. her mom needs collateral damage. they need this victory and use the tunnel now work to avoid being hit by the is really our course and military strides. and they move these positions into civilian areas and conduct the launches from those stars that some network support. the movement of these walkers in this week the, we keep hearing from israel, that it's trying to reach
9:38 pm
a certain point in destroying how much is capabilities of another attack. so that a call an attack for another call, an attack israel for another 5 years, based on your experience. when move that point be, when will they have reached that point? well, israel has to ensure the israeli defense forces have to make this so costly for her mosse that it decides not to do this in the future. and that's what this military operation is all about is, is degrading hamas is ability. ready to move weapons and fighters and the series of tunnel complexes can also degrade is military leadership. hamas is lost, some very capable military leaders in these is really strikes. they're losing an offensive capability. ready and the, the reason for the continued israeli strikes on, on i'm office military infrastructure is to make it punish,
9:39 pm
to punish omar to the point where it decides not to do this in the future because it's too costly. that's the goal wire. bisman next would be a win from us, and that's what the idea is. continue needs to make it causal. cried many thanks for your analysis there, michael. present. at hudson institute for my u. s. intelligence officer and military advisor. in france has started loosening coven 19 restrictions with cafe terraces now allowed to open museums and cinema is operating reduce capacity. government hopes that by the end of june, it can end almost all limitations and temp taurus back into the country. funded smith has a report from paris deprived of that cafe terraces for most of the past 12 months. parisians weren't letting pouring rain get in the way of what is hoped to be the

why some of the rulings of the court it's making and some of the ruling to attend pay that they will may in the future. but just because you don't like something doesn't mean that there is a crisis back in 1983 when he was the united states. senator joe biden said that the idea packing the court was a terrible, terrible mistake. any bonehead idea i agree with with then senator biden, but traditionally the court has had a balance of liberal and conservative justices hasn't. but now not, not always there. so in the 1960 s. when you had chief justice earl warren, it was a decidedly liberal court the last time a president attempted to pack the court was in 1937 when franklin delano roosevelt tried to do it. even though the democrats overwhelmingly controlled both houses of congress. they sought for what it was, which was an attack on the independence of the jews sherry. they overwhelmingly rejected it by the end of his 4 terms. though franklin delano roosevelt got to name
9:45 pm
8 out of the 9 supreme court justices when the republicans took back control of the white house and congress. you didn't hear them saying that there was a crisis and that the court was out of balance and that it needs to be packed. so a lot of our nation's history read the court has been relatively even balance, but by no means for all of our nation's history. 11 thing the commission is looking at is term limits. what would you see as that limit and how, how much that reshape the court? well, that would reshape the court over time over, you would have to grandfather in all of the current justices. that is a much harder thing to do than packing the court. packing the court, there's no the number 9 for the number of supreme court justices is not enshrined in the constitution. it's set by law, although the law hasn't changed since, as you said, 869. but congress could pass a law, increasing the number of supreme court justices. but the constitution does say that
