12:05 pm
that's one reason why this all must come to an end. so why there needs to eventually be a political solution for what's going on and gaza. they say that militarily, nothing can be achieved, ultimately for residential jobs. that beyond that, what's interesting is to be getting a little bit of a political analysis from of the palestinian worshippers were arriving here to attend friday for because many of them have talked about what's going on when it comes to the factions as far as from their point of view inside of gaza to me and that we spoke, we'd have had essentially the same opinion when it came to the role potentially of how much and all this. both of them said they do not believe that how much is involved in, in retaliation for the is really air strikes. so one of them said they believe that that's because how much doesn't want to, doesn't want their rival islamic jihad to get any kind of leverage and to gain any kind of advantage from all of this. another gentleman we spoke with said that he, how much has its own reasons and he thinks that they eventually will enter the free,

12:25 pm
but it's from this turn investigation. south africa has refused to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine saying it wants to remain neutral in the conflict. which account is from the university of cape tom. he says, present, run a post that has given parliament a very modeled explanations. what presidency has equivocated some was on the one hand present route because the top part of this often the that he would need to look into it. i think that was an all satisfactory officer in the circumstances when a major problem like united states and the contracts to see your credit and will make such a problem. and with such false witnesses do your best to be nice day, softer to this austin there. and i think it would closet and clear response. however, on the one hand, the united states have refused to hand over the evidence as it was to the south african government, they say, according to the presidency of south africa, that they will only do so to incredible authority. so that raises the question of whether the united states now distrustfully sought after government to such an
12:26 pm
extent, that as i'm willing to give such evidence over to them, the presidency tells me that the presence of select us around the post best i have no choice faced by, on the one hand, this development from the americans, on the other hand, is on government saying that they have no knowledge of this. the defense ministry is told presidency. they have not sold, given us to the russians. and therefore, the pressed on this had to react by appointing a full judge to look into the matter. to have gotten this done now, way swarms of low cuz saw us threatening we top as says millions in the country already are the highest risk of farming farm is desperately trying to kill the past before the holiday season. obviously is james space has this report from bond land permits. this is of kind of stones latest enemy, locusts,
