2:04 pm
so far the targeting is still going on, i mean, just a while ago, very short while ago ambulances came in with the injuries of targeted apartment and a building carried 7 injuries, all 4 of whom were children. the youngest was an infant less than 6 months old. some of them had severe injuries and some immediate injuries. the neighbourhood and the people around the people who were wounded had said that there was no prayer a prior year. now to them, they did not get any warning coal that they are going to be targeted. and this is, this is what we have been talking about that lots of algorithms done. she'll buildings in apartments in the gaza strip. get to be targeted without prior notice . or warning cold in the same and a home in shows i, a neighborhood was also targeted. and another in remote neighborhood next to
2:05 pm
palestine mosque was also targeted. so this was just the amount of targeting in the, in the past half an hour that arrived, that arrived to happened in the gaza strip and arrive to the hospital. according to him, this teacher national, it stated that it has documented before. 7 david lee is really attacked on residential buildings that happened without prior notice or warning to these residents in these buildings. so again, we're talking about the targeting that has been going on to civilians without prior notice. you know, side with that report from garza. thank here. also in garza with us the stuff what he has more on how the bombings are affecting the population there in the last couple of days there's something new we, we don't know, we are not sure if this is
2:06 pm
a new strategy or no promotion. and there's really bank of good because they said they have updated their bank of target. they have been warning entire residential areas to leave. and this is something new in god. i have been covered a lot of war and invasions and guys in the last 20 years. this is the british time that is really want the whole area to leave or the vacuum. normally they ask one family, 2 families to live and then for safety. like the, you know, they want the, the neighborhood and then believe evacuate in this area and also only area for one of the most crowded areas. and halfway between jamalia refugee camp in the north and got the city in the center. so onto the people there. we were very much panicking on sunday with asking so either we stay or leave because
2:07 pm
they have a civil warnings. during the day they received a warning in the morning, the evacuation area. and then, and the afternoon, derek is another call to go back because the area will be bombarded later. so didn't know either to stay or go back. i'm still working. yeah. because this, this area we have to get there was, it was like once it hit the main street that linked between stuff though we got the 50. so we crossed road or in the hopefully between jamalia and gaza on the road. that was one of the, one of the most important roads that had been bombarded and got in addition to the main roads that were also destroyed. and the last 11 days of escalation now to west jerusalem in run con, i mentioned earlier that there are some tentative hopes for a cease fire. tell us about that. especially in the light of the fact that israel
2:08 pm
still very much says, well until we achieve our objectives, will keep going. tentative hope is a good way of describing it, but those home seem to come to prominence and then they seem to fade away over the last week. we've heard about this concept of a cease fire taking place is coming very quickly is coming very quickly in the last couple of days. we heard from israeli media sources and other international sources that actually a ceasefire may, will be coming at 6 am they morning. well, it's just after 2 o'clock bell, and that has been no sci fi, is really media outlets, particularly bed defense correspond security correspondence saying, well, actually a sci fi may will come by friday. now there are diplomatic moves of foot. you've got hiker mass, who's the german foreign minister. he's in israel today. he's been meeting with his israeli counterpart. they've got on a toll of a site of where one of the the rockets landed and the damage done. but it's
2:09 pm
interesting because he's really foreign ministry. her describing this is a visit of solidarity them, very careful not to use the terms of negotiation or negotiations for a file or any thing like that. now we have seen this in the past before when these railways have been negotiating with them out of them, they'll just straight up. deny that there are any negotiations going on just in case they fell in that way. both sides can say, well, we didn't fail the winner negotiations going on. now we've been hearing from mass as well, on their side of the complex and they've been saying, well, we're expecting a fee to come soon. it seems that mass have they're sticking points and they're saying this is what we want. most of it is to do. we don't keep our history slim and the resident fat and for the evictions to start taking place. and any attacks taking place on the, for most, would you so much earlier in this round of violence and i seem to have then
2:10 pm
negotiating position pretty clear and they seem to be saying it was less clear is what benjamin netanyahu is negotiating position publicly. he's very strong, he says we, this is either a deterrence or we could even go in and conquer. he said those words on television . however, one of the key things is the us president turbine. joe boyd is actually said, i need de escalation on the road to cease fire, but that hasn't put any timeline on it. and that's really interesting because president joseph biden is the one man they should be able to pressure these right these into coming to a sci fi. but instead, all the way through this, he's been using language like, well, israel has a right to defend itself, is ro, needs to be able to defend itself. but these words de escalation on the road to sci fi by no means gives you a tiny table for things like that said, there is still speculation that the sci fi may will come at 6 am friday morning,
2:11 pm
but who knows? quite, and it's all in the wording, isn't it? him and come in with tourism. thank you. so the international cold for a sci fi though, are gaining momentum. we've got the united nations general assembly holding a special session later on thursday. kristen salumi tells us what to expect. foreign ministers from a number of countries frustrated by the lack of international response to the ongoing crisis in the middle east, are on their way to new york to attend the special session of the general assembly . the security council has held several meetings on the subject, but has been unable to speak with one voice as a result of objections from the united states. france is the most recent country to propose security council action, in this case, in the form of a resolution calling for a cease fire, but with no agreement in sight. the arab group here at the united nations that along with the organization of islamic cooperation called for the special session, hoping to keep the spotlight on the problem. they,
2:12 pm

2:15 pm
a difference between intervention and foreign affairs and condoning a foreign occupation characterized by systemic extermination. whoever is the next president, the middle east conflict will continue to be an issue in chile, a country where the palestinian cause is so close to home, has so many have up to see and human houses, era, cynthia. in the news, the heads we will tell you about a multi $1000000000.00 project to bring power to the greek island. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored like cattle airways. hello there we do have some heavy rain falling in between the gang. see, and pearl river valleys, in china, it's almost like
