11:30 pm
so brazil has been working on another resolution that does just that. it condemns a mosse and it calls for a humanitarian pause to allow the un and other agencies to get the needed supplies into gaza. and we are waiting for that to play out. we know there's been a lot of negotiations, a lot of back and forth. we are expecting a meeting on that in the coming hour. however, we have learned from 2 diplomatic sources that the united states is asked to delay that meeting and to delay that vote given that president joe biden is on his way to israel for consultations. but we've also heard that the 10 elected non permanent members of the security council have been pushing for that vote to take place, especially now that the hospital it has been bonds that the school has been bombed . and so for, there's clearly a growing sense of urgency among many member states as well as the un relief
11:31 pm
agencies about the situation. okay, we appreciate that update so much that was christian salumi outside the united nations headquarters. let's bring in mike hannon now. mike movies, most recent attacks at the school and also at the hospital. what impact do they do you think they'll have them president or biden's visit to israel, which is expected on wednesday tomorrow local time? as well as already being an immediate impact, it would appear that the palestinian authority lead um with the bus has declined the meeting that he was due to have with president biden in a month during the president's trip. he has gone back to ramallah. it is reported and it is connected to the bombing of that hospital, but yes, it would have an impact on the trip. suddenly the bite and administration would be a pulled at something like this happening at a time when the president is going into the region. best be no formal response from
11:32 pm
the white house at present. we understand that one will be forthcoming shortly, but it is certainly a major issue. one must remember to that president by then. one of the reasons, in addition to expressing us support for israel, of going to the region is to attempt to carry on his secretary of state's attempts to prevent any whitening of this conflict. now incident such as we seen that the gods of hospital are precisely the type of event that could lead to a widening of the conflict. we already see demonstrations in ramallah demonstrations in other parts of the reason as a direct consequence of the so the bite in administration would be well affect aware of what happens when you have been events like this happening. and now it is happening at a time when the president is about to go into the region. okay, my kind of, we have to leave it. they have, we're going to go to ramallah, but we'll cross back to you throughout the evening. that was mike hannah in washington dc, and see if we can get our correspondent child stratford on the line. he joins us
11:33 pm
from ramallah in the occupied westbank. hello that charles. can you hear me? i can hear you. yes. right. last time we spoke charles, he needed to take cover of the gun shots whitehead, what's happened since then as well as situation in the last 10 minutes. so, so dare i say it seems to have calmed a little bit, but certainly between the last time we spoke a now that has been, it was an escalation, a huge barrel issue of guns live far we call and confirm who was, who was shooting those rounds but well, i mean i can see fires burning all over the city. there are police heavy police presence as well. white helmets and the right shoes. we so yeah, seems of officer kyle's a lot of use basically attacking the the security services as they came forward to
11:34 pm
try and disperse the crowds, rugs being thrown, we know that all the shops close. we heard the breaking of gloss, whether that was prophecy base. what you can hear, they're all sound grenades going off all the smallest streets underneath where we're standing now. very low, badly late. but i can see i can see flames from some of these fires that we have, but that has to be late. and the security policies seemingly having great difficulty and controlling the situation here in ramallah. this is by far the largest protest that we've seen in this city. so certainly since the, the outbreak of the war on goal is um, in terms of the focus of these protests, a lot of anger towards buffalo to buy. so we now know his returning is returning from jordan, is cutting his visit,
11:35 pm
canceled his visit with the us president joe biden, and he's coming back to ramallah. the people here very, very unhappy, very angry indeed with him accusing him of being awfully ineffectual or not doing enough not being strong enough in the face of obviously the is riley operation on going and goes up. it's difficult to say why, but this protest was actually sponsored by that risk attack on the hospital. it galls it. ready kills so many hundreds of people because the level of this contained in the occupied westbank has been growing for months. if not, i'll gladly years as i say, the people who are considering present the past to be totally ineffectual in preventing the daily humiliations by, by is riley policies in terms of just getting around. for example, the occupied westbank in terms of the crisis around the, out of the compound, the violence that is exactly the problem,
11:36 pm
the problem. stevie and people on almost a daily basis in various locations across the occupied territory. and of course, the bar is exact to, to put in the most sound bombs the by set. let me bear in mind that 60 mold and 60 pound a send me into the occupied with bankruptcy killed since october the 7th. since those had us invitations in the tax in israel, and we've had $700.00 arrests as well. all of palestinians across the occupied west bank since the same date also. so there is, yeah, rising, i can go across the occupied territories this evening. as i say, this is not the only protest that is going on. we know that there are protest for example happening in hebron in janine a multiple other towns across the occupied territories tonight. okay, we'll leave it there in prospect to throughout the evening child steps and in ramallah, that's bringing zeno. hold out, who is live for us in favorites. she joins us on the phone. they have seen protests
11:37 pm
throughout the region into new z, i in jordan, and now in lebanon, in some pools of palestinians. they know what's happening, where you are in bayers. well, people are out in the streets whether in the route or other cities across the country, including in palestinian comes. this is a country which hosts a palestinian refugee come in the community there's. there's anger as new spread of the bombing of the hospital. and as you know, with a high desk told patients, so people started to take to the street, so they're denouncing this as a war. climb the caretaker, prime minister. and as you may, i to declare the day of national warning tomorrow. the foreign minister issuing a statement announcing what happened as a war crime. this is a country which is technically asked for with israel. there is no, no diplomatic relations with isabel, no embassy,
11:38 pm
but people here are blaming those who support the israelis united states as well as other western nations. they believe it is because of the unconditional support that these countries provide as well, allows it to operate above international. we're getting reports now of people trying to make their way to the u. s. embassy to protests outside the american embassy, but the lebanese army, as well as security forces, have closed all roads leading to the us embassy. but a group of protesters have made their way to the french embassy. they're now demonstrating in for through the french ambassador as the residents and tomorrow has the law, one of the main political parties and an armed group, which is now waging, you know, a war along the border with, as well, is calling for a, a major pro, test tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, an inmate with southern suburb. so angry people have taken to the streets
11:39 pm
denouncing the crimes what they are calling the crimes against humanity. believing that israel would not be able to get away with, quote unquote these murders if it was not for the support, it gets from western countries. in particular, we have to remember, this is a country which has, you know, accused israel of carrying out massacres on it's foil over over recent years and, and decade and zayna. obviously tensions are high about these conflicts, potentially spilling or what's happening on the border of northern israel and southern lebanon as well. there's been a gradual escalation over the past few days and, and the over the past week we witness square skirmishes the today, it was a heavy exchange of fire between has been law and israel, both sides in distressing each other hezbollah saying that, you know,
11:40 pm
the conflict we cannot say neutral, threatening that the conflict is going to be widened and they are going to put more pressure on as well. if it continues, quote it's crimes against the people of guys, the israel in return saying that don't there, don't dare us. and if you do, if you initiate, you know, a full blown or expect dudley, a deadly response. while as of the fighting, the exchange of fire has been largely confined to the border areas. many fear it could, it could, why did and, and you know that there, there, there is a concern in this country that it could be directed to conflict. but i think that has now been overtaken. the very fact that you have all these people in the streets, this is no longer a has beloved versus israel. you know, this has become the people, the people versus versus israel. okay, we'll leave it that keep us posted as to how things progress throughout the night.
11:41 pm
say no, hold on in favorites. protests have been taking place across the cities in the region into new z a took yes, syria and as we heard 11 on, that's across to summer been jervey and he joins us on the phone from a mine in jordan with protests are also taking place. what's happening, where you well, your 140 says you got it here near these really entities right now is right to be pushing back. fighting to get caught them. and the focus is just the gathering in the last uh, why would it be a 100? and if you can hear this, this is guy shows the funds by your lease into the crowd of food that says we're coming to work. he's really busy in there. 100. debbie pushed back a whole lot, but people keep coming. there's a lot of bankers on the streets here. it's about right now. people say that they
11:42 pm
cannot sit tight, lee, but as the violent, it's not that continues as hundreds of people that'd be killed. beast notices. they're saying that they used to be out here and they need to tell, not just the georgia union police had to do the job but, but the rest of the world is bad. that this cannot get to what's the mood like where you, i protest is relatively calm. i mean, do i, can he, you coughing? does that mean that things are taking, taking a turn at this point in summer. a. yes, this is a lot of a lot of to you guys had purchased this uh try and be closer to the police. the police have been finding shows that the n, as i said, is just active right now. because people are saying that this is, this cannot go on and they, they do good except the part of this is really deep insight. jordan,
11:43 pm
this is the last point we just spoke to you for the f b who told us that they are going to go on to the government listening to them. and if you lose it this, this place from there. so if it is as easy as being there be focus is will be gathering a to work this area for for the last. 2 few days that 8 to 10 days they did the gathering here. okay. and this is it by the looks of the not going to diagnose it any time. okay, we'll leave it there and we'll let you get just get some rest at some of the binge of age in amman in jordan way to guess has just been fired. let's bring in my one for sharon now who is l g 0 is political senior political analyst. he joins us from london. my one certainly lots of moving parts. the savings that we've just had would from him us, which is said that the hospital mastercard, is quotes,
11:44 pm
a new turning point. and when they say hospital mascot, they're referring to the bombing of a hospital in central guys where we believe 500 people have been killed. they say it's a new turning point. what does that mean? i think it goes along the lines that you and i spoke about earlier that this entire day has been soaked at the store, fixed or tragic. that is focused on the r n. a student street wouldn't be such where things will start during the case is read and in favor of, hopefully a class or any other type of thing. but a scene in human rights and not just given privilege to that, to deserves human rights. and the price of giving unconditional support to is right. in order to bomb indiscriminately,
11:45 pm
the senior understand uh guys, coastal perhaps has come to the end of the rope. course this depends on social western reaction. because somebody was, the leaders now are complicit initial to a tragedy because of the way they provided is right. it was such a, you know, lead in support and we got the single one to my understanding china came back is that at this time was, you know, nation grief it was weaving. uh, you know, after such a deal to herself and this was not the time to know which is right to take revenge . i guess that a senior people are in the actual majority, not responsible for this action by this on that are sitting instruction. but clearly, western leaders, how much is there
11:46 pm
a to take action and that is really a responsible number of reckless. so hold on between what is your story and how different a sinews now and another person in cities and how the kind of world is reacting its own kind of coming together in a, in a storm sort. do you know, reverse that? so the question is, re the one great a guess about a cities my one as we've been discussing and reporting you as president obama is expected to arrive in is rout tomorrow, wednesday local time. how does he handle what's on folded in the past $24.00? well, 12 hours i was going to say, but also for the past 12 tax. you know, if you remember several days ago when i didn't was speaking, i was kind of taking it back by the degree to which should be a mac compressed burkins watching football or something. but i think after 5
11:47 pm
minutes, timothy holmes, word for word what that is really a brand new. so we're saying, you know, you know, mostly seating lying man or what's, what's happening is unassigned. but clearly it seemed that the for the 1st 2 days, a piece of that, the america person on the west side of 10 days, a line repeating song buys and that's it is really 5 minutes or less, for lack of better word manipulating the amount of compressed and into not just supporting his writing, but basically what are you saying that you decide the policies of these, right? so that seemed, you know, to be, again, quite shocking for such your company or the mindset between one super power with basically, you know, i have started grieving nation or leadership in this, or you and i can expect, you know, the president of the states to be sober caught up in the room trying to pull back
11:48 pm
from the brain instead of not doing it forward with all that seemed to slide the slide creature when we heard the ships, the news interview with the the point is that that on thursday, when he spoke about the danger, the big mistake all is running fine guys up. but he continued to push for his rooms again, jimmy decided not to come guys. now this a long story short, he's coming to georgia to meet with the stadiums. already. we have, you know, one of the best leaving back to them a lot of much and sort of thing, but just to make you feel so much pressure need. now think about aside that he needed or so that need to go back. i think egypt of jordan have leverage down it will be after that is from like
11:49 pm
a major so yeah. so if the american president shows up in a month and say that you should also refuses to meet with him on this and i'll tell there's a ceasefire, you know, and that's, that's a bit of a part of search idea because both is egypt and joseph on the piano just like it's on the american 0. but this is a 200 boards, right. and you expect a city leader to take on more. busy as a coke fries position at this point in time, i say enough to the budget, i'm not going to be able to assist with meetings with american leaders when they are not doing because they're in the world and want to pursue. okay, well we have to leave it that we appreciate that update and we haven't heard from washington yet, my one, but when we do, we will report at my one bush hour out. is there a senior political analyst now before we had to 11 on i've just got an update from the ministry of health in guys out the number of killed in guns, and now it saves 3 and
11:50 pm
a half 1000. and the injuries exceeds 11070 percent of who, which children and women. all right, we're going to head to living on now where ali hashem is in the core i, in southern lebanon. i late, we've heard from lebanon's his bullet, which has announced wednesday tomorrow it will be a day of an oppressive into the anger. what more can you tell us as well as well? i should say, 700 something. uh, let the message be clear this day is followed by and all the end, the passive resistance, victory on retribution for the pressed against the old press on the seems to be a warning from has been law. we don't know what's going to be the implications 0 to the retaliation. now, yes, the announced a day you'll find and we can see pictures coming from a route, hundreds of people going through the streets, demonstrating, shouting,
11:51 pm
and it's actually a different situation with now many calls for demonstrations and johnny's in front of the american embassy and now got to the survey to it's also that when these government announced a day of modeling for tomorrow and schools will be closed. so it's of course, given the fact that they've been these front is already on fire and we can see on daily basis the tax. so there might be to model a different situation on the, on the, on the board there. now we don't know what's going to happen, but it's, it might go towards an escalation, how much disconnection is going to be within that it was the caught and tools of engagement. that's a big question, especially that's what happened today in the last size, outside, any kind of rules of engagement. that's why all the eyes are like that one has one law given the fact the fact the fact to power on the board, the with this red ali tokens through what's happened since the gaza is ro. busy or
11:52 pm
began, we know that there has been some flare ups between the 2 sides on that for the break it down for us. it was on the, on the 7 self, all fucked up. as we all know, it started on the 8th has will last started by had think is really both submitted to post and the dispute the trouble funds. and then this is the day off that palestinian group does not mean she had a claim responsibility for an attempt for infiltration. things thought to to, to roll day off today. and then we started seeing it that 4 times a day, the a escalation, data engagement between has been lined is ready today, only we had 6 attacks from the news. well, the on is really made it to forces, right. it was also retaliated, think over the past few days, there are many uh casualties,
11:53 pm
at least within his while lower than this. i mean she had within her math. if we can count him today as well, i noticed that 5 of his fights as white kid exchange with is really is the day before also. but as i mean the how much group also uh, 3 off, it's $5000.00. so this is accumulating and this contain tension is gradually escalating to watch the situ. busy action west, things are becoming a semi war zone. this is what we can say when we are moving all around the south, the southern border. we can see how the situation is escalating and the is read is showing is hating houses on the past few days that we're heading with, forced for those bombs. and as we know also our colleagues, i some of the from the right does one skills buy is really as i get this bottoming our colleagues so much as you like ottoman and ellie went to enjoy the long side with report this from a, a fee and joyce, a so it's, it's,
11:54 pm
it's kind of building up, building off to watch a situation where many are concerned and wondering whether this is going to turn into i know the front and one into a getting into the comes clicked. and this is what everyone is, is really getting for life now. everyone is wanting golf, but also this has a why the context related to this axis that extends from to hand to be able to do. how does this is one axis as they represent that the identified themselves or we had the range of what i'm going to say yesterday talking about a kind of a pre emptive strike in case the situation continue this way. the red lines, as of course, that's all set by this actually is one of these. the red lines is the ground invasion, but today there's something different than the carts are being mix. once again, especially with this massacring cause okay, we appreciate that update as always, ali hash them in its southern lebanon. let's head to occupied east jerusalem. now
11:55 pm
way in run con is standing by for us in room. we're hearing that the palestinian authority president my phone a boss may be speaking shortly, once lit up to this point a everything that you've seen in the last a say 6 hours. firstly, about who the boss refused to meet with president joe, but then there's a bullying at the hospital which got thousands of people out in the streets. hundreds of people rather than the streets of ramallah. and then i'll send you far as the security forces cracking down on those protest as we've had live 5 was used to use that light fi. we're not entirely sure whether it was passed and scarce voices, or whether it was coming within the crowd. we're not exactly sure, but we certainly know how this didn't look forward to the security forces did use sound bombs and take us to try and dispose of those crowds. so look,
11:56 pm
that has led up to what might be. we're not sure if it's going to be a large statement, the saving um by my mood about my buddha bass has to be very, very careful. he's seeing the mood of the people home, the streets. he knows that there's a lot of sympathy for the people of cause on the suffering that they've gotten through right now. but this hospital bombing has re, i had people, nope, just within the realm of the itself. across the occupied westberg, he noticed that he needs to be very careful in what he says, that he was also central time of the 7 since he's right and started bombing casa, called a for a ceasefire, and monetary and car adults. he's got neither of times. remember, he has no influence or the mouse and he has no influence over these races. army avenue is to speak to the international community, and that's what he's been doing. however, there was a russian resolution that was tabled at the un security council for
11:57 pm
a c spy. the us, the french, the british, i'm a japanese over to against it. and it's a pulse that's likely to be was re, i good president. but who the boss who probably talked about that will probably talk about the monetary colorado as well. so the fact that he's not meeting with joe biden suggest that you simply have no cods to play, no leverage, and he's not going to be in the room a very crucial, but we'll have to cite in jordan on wednesday when the judge and the the but on, on cc meets and the king of the law jordan meet with president j, but you should have been in that room. he's not going to be in the room. okay, thanks so much for the update request back to you when. and if we hear from that, my food boss, thanks so much. and run con, live for us there in occupied east jerusalem. let's head to new york. now we're christians allowing me joins us live from un headquarters. christian,
11:58 pm
you've got some new developments including coals from or for either the security council to hold an emergency meeting about that hospital bombing. what more can you tell us? so that's right, you've russia and the united air memory. it's called an emergency meeting of the security council for wednesday at 10 am. and the next half hour though, we are expecting to hear from arab delegations to the united nations. they've called the special press conference to address the most recent escalation, including the attack on the hospital in gaza. clearly there is a lot of concern about what's happening in the gaza strip. uh the situation uh has gotten increasingly dire for civilians there. and that has really been the focus for the united nations over the last couple of days earlier today. the secretary general spokes person was, is speaking about the fact that no place is safe and gods anymore. that's what he
11:59 pm
said. no place in guys is safe anymore. and civilians are now paying the price that was before the hospital attack. that was in response to the bombing of a school, a you and school serving as a shelter for hundreds, if not thousands of people. 6 people died in that attack. the commissioner generals for on rod the agency that runs the school, i said it was outragious and that it showed a lack of humanity. and it also shows many here at the you, i would say a disregard for international law which requires protection of civilians, protection of the wounded, especially considering. and in this situation, all on rough facilities are marked clearly marked there. um, well known to is really officials there coordinates are provided to the is really army so that in a situation like this they can be avoided. so we're waiting still for that official
12:00 am
word or reaction from the secretary general on the hospital strike. but clearly, i think what the secretary general and his folks prison has been saying, repeated lee, is this concerned about the humanitarian situation for civilians in gaza? and that's what they're trying to invest at the trying to address well avoiding the political discussions that are ongoing and, and avoiding the political disputes that are ongoing. a focus, if you will, on the humanitarian situation. and that's also the focus of the security council meeting tomorrow. okay, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. kristen salumi at the united nations headquarters the hello. i'm emily and gwin and your.
