the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter why you call out you 0 will bring you the news and current affairs. out of the, [000:00:00;00] the hill, i'm several that it's good to have you with us. this is the news our lives from the coming up in the program, the humanitarian cost of 9 days of war, palestinians, and southern does a struggle for survival in dire conditions. the us as evacuating its citizens from israel by ship, but they say space is limited and it's 1st come 1st serve us secretary of state's

diplomacy tore through the middle east, continues anthony, blinking stresses the need to prevent the conflict from spreading forth. and it runs far administered, tells houses 0 of the test run will not remain an observer if israel continues, this is the as it is day 9 of israel's war on gaza. and overnight israel unleashed it's heavy as bombardment across the gaza strip since the war began. more than 2000000 people trapped inside gauze, i say life has become unbearable. at least 2750 palestinians have no been killed since last saturday. $1030.00 of them are children. now another $1000.00 people are believed to be under the rubble. residents say that the stench of death hangs thick in their destroyed neighborhoods. 1400 is really, is, have been killed during how mazda is military operation. that includes $289.00

soldiers. the combined number of casualties on both sides makes this the deadliest conflict so far as the war has forced more than 1000000 palestinians from their homes in just 9 days. water has run out of you and shelters across casa, and there are warnings that hospitals will run out of fuel reserves. sometime in the next 24 hours. there's also been reports that the egyptian control, rafa crossing would reopen on monday. hundreds of palestinians with foreign passports have been waiting at the border to evacuate out of gaza and aid from several countries of been has been held up in egypt, sinai peninsula for days, waiting for its delivery into the enclave. now in a moment, we'll have the very latest from our correspondence and gaza 1st though this report from image and kimber. the often most of another is really striking garza, the bombardment, isn't homes and buildings where people are taking refuge. resident struggle to pull

the injured and the dead from the destruction palestinian authorities say moving a 1000 people across the strip, missing under the rubble with tens of thousands of taken shelter of schools run by the un refugee agency model. the 3 escape. yes. good, showing is everywhere. the world must understand the situation. we have children and we have 6 people also displaced people who are suffering from cancer, be a terrorized. they have destroyed my house. i have no other place to live. i don't know way to car our life is how they told us to go to the south. and here we are in the song. i'm sick and tired of everything. i don't need food. i just need to go back to my house. take me to my pace and i will live in a change, the hospitals and clinics are breaking point goals as low as hospital and shift. i have a private with people who set the homes for what's left of them. then that's going

to be the bar. so here's what i have done, the burden on the health sector is so huge, and large numbers of people are taking shelter here in schools in total disorder. we've no hygiene either. it was because if it demick across and gaza and be on it, there have to ration is extremely dangerous. compounding the problem is israel is located, it's called central supplies of food and fuel. and water has run out and you and shelters. even if the water is restored, the water is going to go to big containers and gaza, which means that they, the, the, the water will need to be trucked to different locations on to truck, the water, to different locations. we need fuel for the trucks. so it's really a chain of, of events that need to happen before people can actually get to water with no electricity night brings when most complete darkness to cause a fear of what may come next image and came back out to 0 to assess what

the outcome flute is inside, gaza joins us on the phone for the very latest stuff. what we're going to look at life pictures of the rasa crossing. this is the only way out of gaza that is not controlled by israel. this one controls by egypt, we can see dozens, maybe more, maybe hundreds of people with their suitcases belongings. they seem to be waiting, possibly for the crossing to reopen. what do you know about what's happening in ross and do you and, and how this thing is was done there? look officially, how did you cause not a noun the shut down over her crossing, but because of the security concern and the safety and also of sundays are eating the array of the drain to raise on the roof. i don't think so. it was around fi causing, it is not working. god says the shot at the beginning. all things that really were in gaza from the beginning. many people they the move sort of a high crossing. they were willing to leave of the like you leave the god,

the but the truth, the better to see it and there is there a better way of security get loads the they couldn't leave it because in terms of the look of the policy and in terms of the for not as or do you want to citizenship is people do a citizenship that's been waiting for. and you already went to the back you. we're going to leave the got the service that the chicken was suspended to move them houses outside together throwing up a high growth. and so we know also that the ear is jordan, trinity, and other countries that have been sending lots of aids that you've seen size all throughout the whole thing, but still also waiting for the approval. so let's go, let's visa aids and try and put the guys prep. so um the you mentioned, and then we'll use in the report to the fucking the, that the of the people i've been displacing from a place to another. so these people in the hundreds of people you could see in the

picture are also among those who couldn't find the place or to stay on the, on the, to, to sleep overnight or during the day. so including those who are willing to travel along that off a high cost thing or a bike or think, open the door, they will immediately leave the garbage place. i think that the hundreds, all the for the notice on the premium was due to the citizenship who are waiting for the government to approve or attending the up. or they issued approval to live the easiest, those the link, the, the opening of the her closing with the, with the delivery. all of the a of that you mind getting an aide into the soul of this visa procedure, either leaving garza or the delivering the aide is been waiting for the approval on the computer level as well. so what's in the last hour or so, which is use agency citing egyptian sources reported that

a ceasefire had been decided for southern gaza. but then he said that was not the case. then you nothing about a ceasefire. and these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu also said there was new ceasefire. what is there anything that you can add to that? what have you heard the the order, what we appreciate you receive this is really uh uh, 1st for the people on the end of not the binding. gotta see that uh, the extended don't want to extend it until 9 gmc drainage the doubt or get a feeling awarding deep warning that is just the ends of the city. on the north of the godless trip, i'm sending the messages to lead immediately. otherwise they will keep operating in the lower. i didn't go to the business, the only operation, the fees that the people didn't guys receiving for. uh, that is no. i a concrete other information regarding i know you monitoring and go to don't need these via auction, but i repeat via for allowing the human to get in and to get to so still half of

the population of the other 50 on the north of the go to the i've been stuck in that area the other month that some of them they are not willing to move and they prefer to stay at home while the others are still looking for any means of transport to take them to the southern bay area of the garbage type stuff, what, what's the water situation in southern gaza because there were reports that the us in israel had agreed to um, to provide water once again to the southern part of the gaza strip. this is, let's make it clear that i use provides god. oh, there's only what 20 percent over does i need? so on one the cd will a day would be able to open that up. i lift some water into got law. this doesn't mean that this was i'm trying to reach the people who needed this was. so this payment, this before that is stuck and you have the board there and,

and tailored. and then by an in tank, needs to transport vision and the, the, the, to bump it to the population. also the people in the, in the eastern area all can you and it's a website that i used to post with on the border of been my own b, like you waited on the display from all the border line towards the downtown out stores to see these things and ship them so if they are filling with or without electricity, without means of transport to the, to move before that and then this could be sort of this makes is the people who spend the whole day cutting. but those are looking for any sort of oil didn't cover water from the morning until the late dollars. okay. all right, that's really interesting context stuff was a tough move to porting from inside the gaza strip for us. thank you very much. i want to go to southern israel now charles stratford joins us from the rock. charles, the 1st thing i have to ask you about is if there's anything that you might be able

to add to this rapidly moving picture that we have and conflicting information, frankly, about a ceasefire again, 4 of yours, reuters news agency in the last hour or so reported citing egyptian sources that there was going to be a ceasefire in the southern gaza region and then both hamas and the as really prime minister essentially denied that. do you have anything to add to that or i'm afraid no, not at this stage we have nothing confirmed um yeah. as we've been reporting a lot of mixed messages, obviously the situation, all those kind of mixed messages have huge ramifications for the population. all that southern section and the many thousands that afflict the from northern gauze. but at this stage we have nothing that we can really confirm officially on that level. just to tell you where we all this is interesting. we're on the west and

outskirts of the town, a stair, old flushed step out of the frame, and allow a moreno to zoom in. what you're looking at there is the neighborhood of bites, handled by a 100 and sits on the northeast and corner of the gaza. strip and you'll probably picking up the destroyed buildings. it's obviously shows how fish the strikes and all it's hillary biology is a pain on that neighborhood of the northern gauze, a strip. now we know that tens of thousands of thousands lived there. we also know that in 2014, in the last major role, that neighborhood was completely destroyed, flattened and it was subsequently rebuilt. we'll take a look at it now. you have to gain completely destroyed since we've been, hey, we haven't seen any strikes on that area. we don't know how many people are living

there, but we do know as i say that it may fact that it easy to know, garza, that is the area that these really simple ones, the civilian population to leave and to head south, basically have to the left if you're looking at this on your tv screens, we've got the constant sound of drones above. um, we've heard the occasional fight to jet as well. but as i say, no visual evidence in this section so far in the last couple of hours of any strikes there. but as we've been reporting over night, so a very heavy bombardment in various areas of the gaza strip. i think it's, it was, i was mentioning, if you look at those buildings that you look how densely populated you look at a very dense of an environment, you can imagine the kind of challenges that any kind of ground invasion by the use, right? any policies would face fuel looking at air is with hamas and palestinian fights is, can take kava, we know that they have huge tunnel systems despite the fact that so many of them

according to these, right, and these at least have been destroyed. so the situation remains quite here and we'll be monitoring this area throughout the day where it seems almost inevitable. we will see the strikes. it's charles, what else? if anything, are you picking up on israel's military plans? the goal is that going forward? charles, can you hear me? seems of love she does all it. charles, let me try again. can you hear me now? quite right. yeah, yep. i was asking you what else? if anything and you picking up on is the military plans for garza's going forward as well? we know is that there has been, has we've been reporting these massive troop massive heavy weaponry build up a long because at boulder we come see any policies here,

but what we have seen is behind some of the hills as we've traveled, we've seen big dust cloud suggesting that they are moving heavy equipment, tanks and, and so on. in this area, we can hear a fight to jet. well, it sounds like a 5 digit in, in the sky that we know that there are hundreds of thousands of variety troops in this area as well. and as i say, we haven't seen any of them today. we understand that they are getting possibly moving into areas of a better potential for operational positions. um, but yeah, as to when this, what is being vowed will be by these riley is a coordinated ground air and see, attract begins. that remains to be seen. i'll just bring you a quick update with respects to evacuations, although it is really civilians in this area. the town of stairwell still, we understand as up to $10000.00 civilians living in it. and that's despite these evacuation offers and insistence. in fact, by the ortiz yesterday, we sold those policies, leaving here is not mandatory for people to leave. so yeah,

there were still civilians in this area. in terms of rocket far coming out of gauze . uh this morning. um, it was a quiet night. so we had been told, but in the last couple of hours we have the reports of the palestinian me. so i was coming out of garza and uh, hitting areas of uh, south of here a couple it's cooled, knuckle is not, was one of think about she's that was occupied by gauze advisors infiltrating this . somebody is ready to kill the another. another report of, of a strike in a cookbooks called a busy and will bring you updates on potential casualties in those areas in the house to come after the actual zeros. charles transferred reportings from mr. robert justin to 3 kilometers away from the gaza strip. thank you very much, charles. a us ship is set to evacuate. americans from israel to cyprus. us authorities have not disclose how many people will be aboard the vessel. they say

space is limited and boarding will proceed in order of arrival. tens of thousands of us passport holders currently live in israel. since the war began. 29, us national. so if you confirm debt another 15 are still missing. and the us secretary of state anthony blinking is returning to israel on monday. his visit comes as the us president said, it would be a big mistake for is realty, occupying the gaza strip around foreign minister has also been vocal. my kind of reports from washington, dc. it showed us responds to the how much the tech 10 days ago was immediate condemnation. but absent was the call for is really restraint. that in the past would be part of us. we action over the past 24 hours as a us secretary of state shuffled through the region. this being an apparent shift in the us position president by the now advising israel against any re occupation of gaza. happening guys in my view,

is how much and extreme elements who boss don't represent all the power student people's. and i think that it would be a mistake to present all to occupy guys who can resist, but to going in and taking out the extremist, the hezbollah is up north, but i was out shop to this new se requiring new believe that from aust must be eliminated entirely. yes i do. but there needs to be a palestinian authority. there needs to be a pass to a palestinian state or work together to make sure that to the best of our ability is cost with is not spread. a possible reason for the us shift may be a consequence of anthony blinking discussions in his meeting with the gyptian

president of delphi, l. c. c, r o bank. the at is written, the action was made public. this is a huge crisis and i am concerned that these really reaction exceeded the right to self defense and turned into a collective punishment of the gaza strip, which has 2300000 palestinians in doha, the o ring in foreign minister and that the image of guitar tell me being how my belt on the who maintains relations with all parties to the conflict in an interview without his era, in ron's top diplomat said he's country will not remain a bystander. if israel continues attacking casa lation will stand by the saucer. if the measures aiming immediately stopping these really occupations attacks that are killing children in the palestinian territories, mainly in the gaza strip and then the deadlock, it is highly probable that many other fronts will be open. this option is not ruled out, and this has become increasingly more probable by the, by the ministration appears. increasingly concerned about

a why the war or re commitment to a 2 state solution, along with increasing if it's in humanitarian relief, may be part of a strategy to reassure error of allies that the us can be a fit broker in the conflict by kinda audra sierra washington now in fisher is in west jerusalem blinking is back in israel after touring the regional and other than continued support for israel. do you know what blinking message will be of the quote clearly while he's been eating 7 out of leaders, he's been testing the temperature in the out of world about what this really is me . well do next that you'll caddie that message when he meets benjamin netanyahu. in jerusalem, there's also a consent that this could become a much wider conflict that we are doing. these really is to make sure the, the limit at the possibility of exploding much farther. he's also going to talk

about creating humanity and called the quarter to a new wrap up with perhaps a ceasefire. and i just in the last hour the prime minister's office here in israel has said that there will be no ceasefire. no humanitarian need coming into guys, that's something that the entity blinking is keen to establish no leased to get those to hold american passports and deal nationalities probably to rafa and into the relative safety of egypt. then that is the question as well. busy the invitation to joe biden, i asking him to come to visit israel in the next week. now, according to the white house, there are no travel plans through new travel plans at the moment. clearly to bite and would like to show his support for israel, for the past week or so. he's been very strongly, very steadfast in his language. but given that on sunday night he said that is real, should not consider real, keep playing guys, or if there were to be is really soldiers and guys at the time when he's here that would be embarrassing. also, we know that anthony,

blinking is well protecting the leaders as best they can to try and get those who've been captured, to try and get them released, particularly the americans, 1st of all because of so you might have to be an issue. but 2nd of all, that a hostage crises as the we call them an american president agree, elections don't mix very well. you back to 1979 and how it jimmy carter was essentially d railed by the ringing and hostage crisis. so there's a lot of entity blinking to do when you see alan fisher importing from western ridgeland. thank you very much. i the palestinian president, the boss has called for israel to immediately stop its aggression against the palestinian people. this and a phone call with his venezuelan count, depart, nicholas and the duro abbas stress that the policies programs and decisions of the

palestine liberation organization the p a low or what represent the policy and people as the so legitimate representative and not the policies of any other organization or the need is in ramallah, how that will talk a little bit more about a boss's statements, because they are important and they matter 1st still tell us about the continued arrest cindy occupied westbank while they've been going on for months and months, but ever since this crisis started, the number of not the raids has increased many folds, just over nighted. here they were dozens and dozens of raids. a bit over the occupied westbank do just a short while ago there was one as south of bethlehem and the refugee camp that day was also due. one is south of jericho. we still don't,

we don't know if that one is still ongoing bus ever since this crisis started is chosen. the israel is going off to many young people across the occupied west bank . and i think the number now of people had been detained, sofa is about 600 counting. those who are taking over now to about 70 of them. and most of them just get help without charges is called administrative detention only is real good. no. what are the reasons for these people were arrested for not the lawyer, not them. so it is something that is actually increasing the tensions across the occupied westbank, and this is our report. it was 6 30 in the morning, and the narrow alleys of ela, murray, refugee camp were still quiet, is really soldiers lined up and made their way to the home of sand that a bed that his family was jolted out of bed when they kicked open. the front door, they were after, sam is 2 eldest sons, so i'm stuck them out and is there

a fee that i didn't if i asked why they were doing this, and they said, we're a war. when i asked if i could give my sons the jackets, because it's cold outside, the officer in charge told me, your children shouldn't be licensed. this is the moment they will lead the way. the family doesn't know where they were taken to. would and 60 police to news would obtain the less than 12 hours across the occupied westbank ami flat. hi. this video filled by a soldier shows tilting the young man taken away. the number of bailey, this sentence has tripled over the past week. that's according to the palestinian prisoner society. but there's also another concern that those already held in is really jails are coming under duress. by little is real easy, black to respond to lawyers who ask about the whereabouts of a day to me. that hasn't happened since the outbreak of this war,

according to him. ok. and these really human rights group. usually we are receiving 100 phone calls a week. now we are receiving 100 phone calls a day. we have written urgently to israel attorney general to say, you know, you cannot deny prisoners access to their lawyers. there are reports, but we cannot confirm about the violence about some punishments. when c mohammad last spoke to her husband, he told you the things of change inside the jail ever since. how messes up back on israel. i got it in the head and then he told me that this could be the last time we speak for was he said that the prison authority has imposed punishments on them, confiscating the longings. water is available for an hour per day. electricity is cut off during the day. her husband has been held for more than a year without charges is not the 1st time. her young son has only seen his father

for 3 months during his 3 years of life. as is really prepared for a possible ground defensive in gaza, palestinians elsewhere fear its effects will increasingly impact them. without that, i mean i'll just run by law. how do we mentioned earlier, the comments by palestinian authority? president law, who the boss, he says the pillow is the sole legitimate representative of palestinians. how do you read those statements? i was saying that many people here would tell you that those are the for me like statements. that's what we, they have heard over and over from the policy and president at each of these crisis . remember, this is the 5th floor over or guys, since 2009 and the rest of it has been more or less the same is very telling that he hasn't been seen publicly since all of this started,

all of his statements come through the official news agency wafaa and actually yesterday, the official news agency 1st reported the uh the, the words of the president that were made during a phone call with the venezuelan president, nicole as my daughter and when they 1st reported it, actually it was rigid on the arabic service that had mazda, i had also said that how much doesn't represent the palestinian people, then that was back track, probably fearing a public backlash from palestinians here across the occupied west bank, but also in gaza. those who are coming under constant bombing, the ones here living in, in the, okay, by the west bank, you know, it, it's a different occupation in the sense that they did on a daily basis with the occupation. they see soldiers at crossroads, they see soldiers during that range. they see. so there's a check for the whole life is administered by the occupation. so they are under,

under this concept psychologically psychological duress. and for my mood, a buzz, he knows he may sit to a fine line because he, he displays could erupt at any point and built under estimate the power of pictures . if our social media use here, which make about 50 percent of the population, are glued to their tablets to the smartphones following very closely what happens in the occupied in gaza. right. that's and feeling here, the brunt of the closer from the occupation. so mahmoud abbas seems to be sort of staying, trying to find is place in the surprises at the moment he has in an older statements we heard here coming out from him. really a repeat of the same also is there is the bill. i mean, reporting from ramallah in the occupied west bank. thank you very much for to write

short break. and we're back with our continuing coverage of the guns, a israel, one of the highlight. we've got plenty of cool terminals on this article. it's a good policy of here. now. go from this brand a cloud that's thinking further south with an east woods not getting back, but the temperature as it does so. broad skies to come back in behind. little peppering of charlotte cloud, just pushing in across the north sea. they're out of the no agency as stiff northwest, the wind will pull those temperatures down or out towards the west where we have got what an area of high pressure festival that keeps it settled. and dry frosty i but not we have cause of wet weather and they'll have to little area of low pressure which will come into western areas if you and have an impact here. or is it going through the next couple of days or some? where's the weather crash pushing up towards the south west. the purchase of
