2:20 pm
would they say white soldiers committing torture and extra judicial killings in the statement? the 1000000 army say they respect international law and human rights. and they also said that there should be a restraint against defamatory speculations. there's been a number of journalists, foreign journalists that been thrown out of the country while reporting the story. but the challenge, adrian is no one really knows what is happening. there's a little access to the area where these operations are taking place, but the un secretary general antonio terrorist. the statement just recently said that he says that there are disastrous consequences for the civilian population following these operation that are taking place in this area of war. the molly and authority for the army that's now in charge of the country they're trying to regain control of the country. but this leaves the un operation,

2:22 pm
b all civilians be not passed because there's the perception that we are providing information to extremist groups or movements and so or so forth. so, not only, ah, yes, that i already had an attack seen on the place. if you cation of attack, when you a 1000, i mean, and i thought spread in particularly for all the, all my region, which is that right? try what our region. and you know, and telling my li, walking up i soon, any year and as you know, you know, attacks my lease, even though long i get the center all the attacks. but, and that's our spirit who popular fossil. and i think over the last couple of months and years, we've seen a huge attacks in miley, so they know ability of their friends for sea level. so it being diesel conflicts to an end or they suggest one and it will certain extent also accounts for why we

2:27 pm
no funerals are happening here today and i drop it. there has been a lot of speculations by these grady army and these rating courses before that the things my escalate doing, the whole month of ramadan. and indeed, as we've seen these waves of attacks in israel, we've seen the israeli army launch an operation called the wave breaker. so they want to keep what they say is filling the terrans. basically they want to prevent more palestinians from committing such attacks. but as we've been hearing from palestinian it either in that you need area or across the west bank, they say that they want to be deterred from fighting the occupation. they say, as long as israel is still occupying their land, they want to keep on fighting. retail giant amazon is about to get his 1st union in the us. well, cuz at a facility in new york have approved to move. the company says the vote is a disappointment of this reviewing options. gabriel alesongo reports now from new
