4:03 pm
a martyrs brigades says their response will fit the crime. his mother says, don't be a 100. more like him. some cities in the occupied west bank of called for a general strike to protest the killing. demonstrators were injured in ramallah lira. john holman, has more now from nablus. there's so many people around him. what's called the martyr square here in the center of nobliss. what we're also hearing now that it's not just here in other towns in the occupied west bank, but then people are being cool to close their shots on a general strike. we're hearing about that in ramallah, in hebron, so in bethlehem. so this is something a period of morning mix. we protest, i guess that spreading across the oak by westbank, the palestinian prime minister, who so now spoken, he's called these radio me a terrorist army. the i'll access martyrs brigade of which of which this man was
4:04 pm
a leader of his own. so said that the retaliation of for this will fit the crime. but at the moment we're talking about just morning protests. you'd probably hearing a lot of gun shots fired into the air as people do mourn him. and people heading to his funeral. i spicy of the significance of this is actually the israel is doing this just off the declaring a separate c fall, which is lamar jihad in garza, which is one of the other, the other occupied territory in this region. so it isn't stopping acting, although this is a different organization, it's keeping on with its operations with its rates into the occupied territory. we'll have to see what the response is here. not all say was widely known as the lion of nablus. israel blamed him for a series of attacks on its forces. he was a senior figure in alex, our masses brigades, a coalition of palestinian armed groups in the occupied west bank. the bull sea had
4:05 pm
been targeted in 2 previous israeli operations. 2 palestinians were killed in the last one in july. i spring in now german nozzle. he is a spokesman for the fat movement and a member of the fat revolutionary council joins us via skype from rome. good. have you with us? so 1st of all, israel says the men who were killed, they were suspected of involved in what they call terrorism. were they were israel refers to palestinians defending themselves on defending their cities and villages as type of terrorism. when in fact, the only type of terrorism that we know is the israeli occupation, which has been going on for over 60 years now. these early sight, unless they were suspect, our involvement in operations or attacks in, in israel or no. and there's no proof for that, and there is no proof for that is i may not even have the proof for the fact that these individuals were facing these ran the army whenever it has done it. it's dana
4:06 pm
encourages to nobliss itself. but if you look at the wider picture, we see the closer we get to the israeli elections. the bloody of that is really our tax get of the palestinians. it is because the israeli government is trying to compete with its predecessors trying to appear more violent against palestinians hoping to gain more ground in these rain election. so they, in israel, there is this thought which is well established, the a more violent you are towards the palestinians, the closer you get to winning elections. that's how they tried to appeal to their people. what a dangerous mindset. this comes at a very sensitive time, of course, because we've just had the truce in garza which itself, that escalation was sparked by an israeli raid into jeannine. what kind of message do you think israel is trying to send now? well it appears that israel is coming closer to an all out war against the
4:07 pm
palestinian. this whole thing started in jerusalem when these really are a government allowed these really settlers to storm. they're like some mosque and change the the, the status quo of the mosque. then it spread to jeanine, it's meant to janine where the soil is continued to, to arrest more policy in an individual. then we saw the assault on garza which some western media called a war which is not the war. it's a massacre against against the city. so in this an innocent civilian people, and now it has come to novice where these rally, army has killed 3 pallets in an individual's injury and injuring 60 percent individuals. to me, it looks like an all outdoor against the person and people because these really government isn't interested in these and stability. they have been trying to find security based solutions for a political problem. the problem is the commission, you and the commission, you end the conflict, but these really government are not interested in ending the conflict, but they are interested in deepening the company. will fath us armed wing respond?
4:08 pm
well this history history does that the violence draws more violence, the bloodshed draws more bloodshed. israel knows all to will that such targeted killings will resent the result in a reaction of the same type on the palestinian on the blessing and side is where is trying to destroy all the efforts of the palestinian government beat in gene annapolis. you have the palestinian authority, trying to establish the rule of law, trying to maintain stability and call that is on the one hand. and on the other hand, you have the heavy arm. the heavy hand of these are in the army trying to work against the policy in an effort because they do not want millicent president obama's and to succeed in doing what he wants to do. he wants to qualify palestine to become a democratic state, an independent state, and that is exactly what these really governments do not want to see. all right,
4:09 pm
thank you so much. amanda bowes raids in the occupied westbank come just a day after israel stopped trading fire with another on group in garza, a truce between palestinian islamic jihad and israel on monday ended 3 days of fighting. a fashionable name is that i'm standing at the largest of the 14 government run hospital serving more than 2000000 palestinians in gaza. i spoke to a doctor with the palestinian health ministry. he says the real emergency wasn't treating the 360 or so palestinians injured during 3 days of fighting. sadly he says they're used to attending to a much larger influx of injured fuel has arrived in gaza and the borders have re opened. but when fuel shipment to the full power plant was halted last week, hospitals were told they needed to rely on generators. the problem is they didn't have enough fuel to keep these generators operating. the real health emergency in
4:10 pm
gaza is the severe shortage of medicine. medical equipment and lab supplies. the palestinian health ministry says this is the result of a 15 year israeli. eddie gyptian imposed block kate and the challenge is palestinian space. getting permission from israel to leave garza for better medical treatment. hospitals don't have 40 percent of the medicine they need or 60 percent of the lab supplies due to the blockade. israel wont allow in 24 types of medical equipment, such as mobile x rays. the hope is in the coming days, palestinians will be able to leave garza for treatment. the doctor i spoke to at the palestinian health ministry says until the blockade ends until israel allows in the needed supplies and theres ease of movement for palestinians. the health sector in garza will continue operating in crisis mode 20 most that i had on the news hour,

4:12 pm
the president was staying at his apartment in manhattan when the raid took place and was seen leaving trump tower and walking towards waiting cars. according to the former president, his home in marilla lago florida was rated by a large group of f. b. i, agents who he alleges also opened the safe in his home. his statement says after working and. busy cooperating with irrelevant government agencies, this unannounced rate on my home was not necessary or appropriate. the justice department has declined to comment on the matter, including about whether the attorney general mary garland had personally authorized to search. previously the national archives and records administration had referred the discovery of 15 boxes of classified information at maro lago to the justice department for investigation. no former president has
4:13 pm
a additional determination that it is likely that they have committed a crime. judges do not sign off on warrants or anyone lightly. they always believe that there is likely that a crime has been committed and that it has been committed at this specific location . so this is genuinely an unprecedented event. the house general u 6 committee, which is investigating the invasion of the capital on that day had also heard evidence about the removal of classified documents when trump left office. there were also claims that when trump was president, he had repeatedly shredded or disposed of classified material. after reading it, the destruction or removal of classified documents to an unauthorized location is a federal offense. mckenna, audi 0, washington and get more from our white house correspondent, kimberly how so kimberly,
4:14 pm
that re sent shock waves through the us. how's it going down politically? i can tell you this is something that most americans are talking about. i took a walk shortly after news of this rope out here in washington, dc, and there are actually people on the street talking about itself on democrats who were supportive of the move. and even though some republicans who says that they were shocked unprecedented. they sure of such a raid on a former president, but in terms of the reaction here at the white house, there's been very little. in fact the white house is referring all comments about this to the department of justice. that's really where things stand right now. there is obviously clear evidence for a warrant that would allow the f, b i to be able to go in to the president's bar a law, go home and see evidence. you can't get a warrant without him least evidence or the potential evidence of
4:15 pm
a crime. but what that alleged cry might be, is still unclear. we're still waiting to hear what potential charges the president could base. but it has become very clear to many conservative republicans here in the united states that that is where this is leading and they are fighting back. in fact, some of the top republicans like capital hill saying that this is only going to motivate they're. 6 they said their supporters to go to the polls in november and bass because what they are arguing is this is nothing more than a weapon. i zation of the department of justice and political persecution. and they say the only way to counter it is by voting. taking control of the house of representatives so that they can lodge their own investigation. what's clear is that not only is this have precedent, but this is likely to have an impact not only in the upcoming congressional election, but luckily, the presidential election in 2024 as well. thanks so much. kimberly. now,

a group of men came into a small town. they started shooting, causing chaos, of disruption. people they weren't allowed to vote, but generally a physical thing of the going relatively, who would leave for most king and the selection is about the economy. a lot of them are struggling. the card making me the price of food is going up. it really wasn't an option, so i want to give them a good enough option to basically fix the economy now. but right now didn't get william roots are promising to turn around the economy and help solving canyon by introducing social welfare packages and subsidies. what he called was paying that way of a when to selection. it won't be so easy to do that this country bought a lot of money, mainly for infrastructure projects like roads and new building. but the issue with that is that money has to be paid back and part of a warning canyon, the last chunk of that when he could come from texas. all right, thanks so much. had him on top of that,

4:20 pm
course the international community. and all i say is i'm, we're not going to take the bait and it's not going to work. ah, so it's manufactured crisis at that doesn't mean we have to play into that. i think it would only play to beijing's advantage. what we'll do instead is to continue to fly, to sale and to operate or wherever international law allows us to do so. and that includes in the taiwan strait and we will continue to stand by our allies in partners ah, in in the region. the war games have disrupted shipping and air traffic in a region crucial to global trade. more worrying. perhaps beijing in taipei are turning up the heat on another brewing global conflict. as in basra, v l g 0 ukrainian official say a lebanese buyer is refusing to accept corn from the 1st congo shipment to leave

4:24 pm
a week. now, many places have already experienced that in the soul area in these past 2 days, and it is still raining one place, recording 381 millimeters of rainfall on monday alone. now that's the heaviest rainfall in a 115 years. but considering that's when records 1st began, it's pretty unprecedented. one of the worst effected areas has been the low lying gangnam district south of the han river. that's also home to the country's president. you took yell, who found himself stranded in his apartment. these rains have mostly been affecting south korea with the rain bands now moving further south down the korean peninsula . but north korea has also been recording heavy rainfall with the north, suspected of releasing large amounts of water into the river system, shared by the 2 careers without informing the south 1st. because the 2 are talking

4:30 pm
b i as the florida home, a former us president donald trump, has possibly an investigation into whether he took classify records from the white house to his private residence from criticize the res, calling it's a weapon. i zation of the justice system. let's get more on that with michael is the cough. he's chief investigative correspondent at yahoo news. john just via skype from washington d. c. so is this a fulfillment or a weapon? i zation of justice. she'll take on it. well, it's unquestionably an extraordinary movement. i mean, we've never had a f b. i raid on the home of the former president before. but a couple things are worth pointing out to start. first of all, in order to do this, the f b, i would have had to have gone to a federal judge and a provider that sealed affidavit laying out probable cause that conducting this
4:31 pm
raid, would you evidence of a federal crime? the federal crime edition here appears to be whether trump illegally removed classified documents from the white house to his home in moral lago. now, that said, we're still so pointing out that this is not about the january 6 investigation. we spent endless time talking about that with the january committee hearings and everybody's been talking about whether the justice tamara was going to prosecute trump for that. this seems that this is a separate investigation. so worth keeping in mind. now it's also worth keeping in mind that it is not at all routine for the justice department to prosecute cases of this nature. it's rare. one can think of bill clinton's former national security adviser, sandy berger,
4:32 pm
who was prosecuted for illegally stuffing classified documents from the national archives into his socks and removing them. and that is the one precedent that one can think of. so the big question here is, does the justice department does the f b, i have evidence that shows trump himself ordered the removal of these documents and then tried to conceal it from the national archives. because absent that, it would seem to be a stretch to bring this as a felony prosecution against the former president. and on that point, what does the raid, if anything, tell us about the legal dangers facing trump? well clearly, if it's further evidence of the justice department is quite serious about investigating him and you know, one theory on this is this was a way to send
4:33 pm
a message to trump and its allies about just how serious this is and that there is a risk of criminal prosecution but until we see that seal the affidavit until that's made public, it's really hard to know whether the f b, i and the justice department have good goods on this matter to prosecute the president. alright, thank you so much for your analysis, michael. sure. an immigration standoff has intensified in the us as texas continues to boss migrants to all the states with little coordination. the american civil liberties union has criticized the move, calling on the federal government to investigate gabrielle alexander reports from new york. they arrived by bus, tired and hungry, several dozen migrants in asylum seekers from mostly central and south american
4:34 pm
countries. arrived over the weekend to a bus terminal in new york city. they all had one way tickets and nowhere to go. they all crossed into the us to the state of tex's days earlier, but that states governor greg abbot has said that they are overwhelmed by the recent influx of migrants. so he's bust some of them to immigrant friendly, new york city. as a way of saying you deal with them. but new york's mayor eric adams on monday blasted abbott saying the city shelters are unprepared to properly care for the migrant. i don't think anything being is more anti american. again, shipping people on a bus, 45 hour trip of without any of the basic needs that they have a direction or coordination. coordination. we have no, i did a number of people. we have no idea of you know, where to final destination or, or he's just totally disregarding of the human part of this. and it's not just new
4:35 pm
york in recent days and weeks. abbott has buston estimated 6000 migrants to washington d. c as well. a city already dealing with a homeless crisis. the defense department rejected the mayor's request for national guard troops to help deal with the influx of migrants from texas. abbot is a far right conservative with a record of pro gun and anti immigration policies. he's currently in a hard fought reelection campaign in november. while he says busing, migrants to washington in new york is only because his state social safety net is being strained. others see him as using migrants as ponds in a dangerous political stunt. as for the migrants in new york, many were desperate. why did i come here? because the situation in the country that everyone knows of s because it's difficult to survive and venezuela, there's no medicine, there's no security,
4:36 pm
there's nothing. there is no way to live in pace, as is normally the case with political battles of immigration in america. it's humans who often get used as pawns this time in the form of one way bus tickets. gabriel is on dough, which is either new york the muslim community in the us city of albuquerque, new mexico is on high alert for men were killed there in the past 9 months. 3 of them in the past 2 weeks. i think i have has the latest name. hussein had attended the funerals of to muslim and murdered in the last 2 weeks in albuquerque, new mexico, on friday that night, police say he was ambushed. his family says his friends found him shot to death in his car. the present saw the body, this was a head shot, so i don't know if it was a single shot or multiple shots. now police are investigating if the 3 murders are linked to the murder of another muslim man mohammed amadi last november and are
4:37 pm
asking the public to help find the driver of this car, which might be connected to the killings. we are also increasing our hair support. now that we have the information and had a vehicle of interest, that kind of support is going to be crucial. but in albuquerque, the muslim community has been shaken by the murders. you walk out of the house, not knowing if you're going to be followed and target it out. that is what is on the mind of every person leading their home in albuquerque. that happens to be honest. there is no sense of safety while police are not saying if the men are being targeted because of their faith. he crimes against muslims are increasing . in a judgment of the largest jurisdictions grew in california, new york city, chicago, anti muslim hate crimes rose from 84 to 122 or we 5 percent increase. and these data are usually predictive of

4:39 pm
indigenous people speak more than 35 languages and have distinct cultural identity . yet they referred to collectively as the bar. she's the thumb drive down about teaches young people about their cultural heritage to ensure it is passed on to future generation. i mean, it was she had the last one. i don't know, of course i consider myself as indigenous. our ancestors, including my forefathers, have been living here for centuries. birthright. i am a native indigenous person. we don't need indigenous groups represent nearly 2 per cent of the population of $168000000.00. bangladesh to this day has not adopted the 2007 you and declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples and the land rights of the indigenous communities in this country still remain one of the most contentious and under his own issues. the un declaration obligates the government to restore
4:40 pm
ancestor a land and protect minority groups from oppression and discrimination. am i that i still do carry? so i, it is unfortunate that our state still refuses to recognize the identity of our people as indigenous for more than a decade now, which is wrong. if indigenous people are recognized as per the un mandate, it could also serve the nation's interest by accepting the cultural and ethnic diversity of all concerned. some school textbook have been published in indigenous languages, but most are gathering dust. even though some school books have been published in native languages, so far the government has not given us formal permission to teach those in schools . in 2011 bangladesh enacted a law that classifies none bengali tribe as ethnic minorities, rather than as indigenous groups. right groups and analysts thing that formal recognition of indigenous peoples would mean the return of lands and protection of fundamental rights. which is why the government is reluctant to adopt the un

4:42 pm
he comes from this region. he has been complaining for opposition. leader, rayleigh, dingo, leave. your selection will be free, and it is every, every canyon's hope that that is the way it shall be. do you also? absolutely. on the other hand, we have deputy president william root or he has fallen out with his boss. some people say he had become very, very popular in central kenya. but outside the politics, a lot of people share the same concerns. the cost of leaving, there are no jobs. people are worried about corruption. a lot of people we've talked to say they don't trust the leaders, so you get a sense of little optimism when it comes to this selection. as bring in 10, good corneo, she's a national coordinator at the institute for social accountability joins us now from nairobi. good. have you with us, what you make of turn out so far? well, the talent is lower than expected. i think falls has had put it at an expectation
4:43 pm
