1:00 am
as riley, as stripe own the baptist hospital in gaza, which took place just several hours ago. thousands of civilians are thought to have been inside the hospital at the time of the attack. some patients were thinking medical treatment and others were trying to find a place for shelter them to meet treatment of a den car begins out coverage bodies in the hundreds scattered across the backyard of a hospital. i seen many have described as a month ago. the result of a deadly strike. a lot of my son that you can see here on my phone, my wife just told me he died. he was sitting with us and all of a sudden he disappeared. hundreds of families with sheltering in the territory of the alley baptist hospital, displaced people looking for shelter after the homes were destroyed in 11 days of non stop from boston. and we were told the red cross of the hospital to lift the
1:01 am
civilian skin, which would mean and sudden the rockets and missiles started falling on all the civilians who with it, including women and children who had the bodies, dismembered. i should know what to do with sped pleasure. hospitals unprotected by the 1st geneva convention. it states that medical personnel and facilities cannot be attacked under any circumstances. i need them. does that display strike a hospital? that means they have no limitations. they've given the green light to execute a palestinian. that means they can choose as harry as well. i like less than an hour before the strike is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu said civilian safety and gaza is the responsibility of how much criminals they're committing a double work on attacking civilians hiding behind civilians as human shields. the entire world should condemn it. it should support is one and is just for this strength comes just i was of to
1:02 am
a un protected school was hit killing at least 6 people. and israel's blockade of gauze it continues. it's 2200000 residents remain trapped with no search and safe place. to hide from israel's attacks to meet you met with in co, out you 0 is bringing page a crowley who is a former us assistant secretary of state and retired us air force colonel. he joins us from alexandra in virginia page a thank you so much for being on the program. certainly a very fluid situation at the moment. what we do know is that us president joe biden is currently on his way to israel. and that comes often, tonight's developments in gaza and the bombing of a hospital just how much would that bombing of such a critical civilian infrastructure have on president biden's arrival and just diplomatic discussions in his room? i think it just takes
1:03 am
a very difficult balancing act of the president is trying to maintain and it adds a new level of complexity, you know, to his trip. you know, clearly on the one hand he wanted to demonstrate in person what he has said in public, you know that he supports israel's right to self defense of self defense within the rule of law. on the other hand, he's, he's trying to also, you know, make, make sure that there is a humanitarian assistance and protection for the palestinian people. and, and this clearly demonstrates that, yeah, regardless of who ultimately as judge to be responsible for this tragedy, that the awful things happen in war. and it's going to be very difficult for the, for the president to navigate through this, you know, very narrow path. so ha, how unprecedented is sanctioned trip by us president?
1:04 am
essentially to a was on i mean, presidential visits are normally very scripted. um, you spend weeks in advance, you know, determining, you know, what, what we call deliverables. what are the presence going to do for the host, but the host is going to do for the united states. you know, this was very impromptu. and obviously now you've got a very difficult, awkward and tragic situation. but the president is clearly going to have to address to give them that ins balancing act. we've just heard tonight, page a that jordan has canceled assignments with the us president joe biden as well as egyptian and palestinian leaders in amman. planned for wednesday, just how much of a different diplomatic state pill does he now have to climb to get the arab region or potentially the border region on site to be honest with you,
1:05 am
i think that that is a mistake. he or the president has said, it's a israel, we have your back. i think it was an opportunity for present the boss, king of dollars. others to say, okay, mr. president. yeah, we understand what you're prepared to do for israel, but what are you prepared to do to help protect the palestinian people who do not support how much? i think it was a, it was an opportunity to demonstrate support the palestinian people. and in their absence, you know, obviously i think prime minister netanyahu will very definitely take advantage of, of your having, you know, the stage and the president to himself. okay. we have to leave it that we are having to move on page. i crowley a full me, us assistant secretary of state and retired us air force, kind of thank you so much. so we're going to head to, i'm on a society who is jordan's foreign minister. he joins us on the line from a mon,
1:06 am
plaintive moving pads coming from amman. this to, we've heard that jordan has canceled the summit with the u. s. president out. guest just said that that was a mistake. break it down for us. why did you make this decision a good evening at the obviously, uh tom is with us president to with present that boss was present cc hosted by his majesty is expected by people over to come up with the, with the decisions that would really put us on his talk to in the score in the summer and gets causing as, you know, present on bus, to how to go back to the was back in the wake of the massacre at the baptist church and gaza after consultation with the the gibsons, and with the but it's to me instead of speaking with, with, with it, with the united states, we believe it is it in everybody's interest to postpone enough to hold this summit
1:07 am
now so that we can prepare. and when those leaders meet that level, we have something consequential to announce which is the end of the war. as you said, things were moved to that very quickly. the, the master code of the baptist and the human tragedy goes that, you know, brought to a totally but a more difficult and more project i mention of people would expect that a summit of this nature would be able to, to respond to their demands, to stop this for knowing that we could not do that. uh uh it was uh, but uh, and it was the, i quoted not to go to tomorrow and to continue with confrontation with a view to getting as soon as possible to us to the stage where this water ends and the capacity it's causing the, uh, the uh, but assuming deepening does uh stop stops, use it for minister a. so we have just seen the adverb. and best of those 2 tonight of nations we're
1:08 am
talking about they come on out of position. so putting it off the decision of not having a meeting with the present by the now, are you going to step up your pressure on american and western diplomats and also tomorrow there will be a meeting, an x or the meeting for y c. so what should we expect out of that meeting? the principal assets have not stopped, hasn't been as much as you just getting back to the it from a repeat into it that included the u. k. it's elliot and get many our message there . and obviously this was before the, the get us to, if you at the baptist church, our message that we come up continue with this war was not going to bring anything but more suffering mode or destruction. it will not produce security neither for these or it is not for defense to me and it protects and the security of the whole region with the type of it expanding and spitting go over into other parts of the agent. uh so uh,
1:09 am
we will have to understand the impact as well as having not just on the immediate victims that the guidance you have to understand that this war is also provoking, our muslim christian public opinion, human opinion, public opinion, all about the world. our peoples are out on the streets right now about $18000.00 jordanians of industry the expressing their anger at that depth task. so if you had this aggravation on guidance, obviously it is that that position is our position to so it will push that position and the public position is one. the statements has be made to the end reaction to the mass that kind of defy prism. the baptist church reflects the, the, the house but that i'm sorry, that reflects the feelings of on jordanians on our ups. i can see very, very confidently that old muslim disorder has to stop. it is unacceptable and answer when we speak of international law, when we speak of
1:10 am
a human body is when we speak, hope all our share to humanity. how is it acceptable that collective punishment against civilians is self defense? how is it acceptable that denying for duel to electricity to over 2000000 people as, as is, is, is accept it instead of defense. and it is that the auction to, to, to, to low, whatever i, oddly, what do, what has happened was we have to remember denying food, denying water is a war crime in international collective punishment. is a war crime into national. we have public opinion and people asking us all the time, why is international not fairly and squarely implemented? why? when it comes to out up and muslim causes that are the standards, why is it a water crime to deny food? then we'll talk to premiums, and it is not a water crime to deny that it took the city is. why is it i would crime to eh,
1:11 am
conduct to population, dispute displacement and other places, and it does not work. i'm one, is there an open the says it wants to get to thousands out of gaza, which as you know, under international law under the geneva convention center, under the additional protocol of 1997 under the ruling of the tribunal. and he was alive. yeah, i'll make those live. yeah. moving populations either from their country to out there, it's country or within. i think if i to the, to the and guys up by, it's a nice that a little is and a good bye to, to tell you is our crime. so we're having those really questions from our people. and again, people all over are expecting results. and unfortunately, the summit would not have been able to produce that's results. now we're going to continue with our consultations and our efforts with the us who has a leading role in the region with, with other our president, with the international community. to make sure that we are prepared for that comment. and that will uh,
1:12 am
be able to produce the one and only the 2nd that is the right decision to model that i the model decision, the occipital decision, which is to stop this, this war and unpredictability. and then if i mean we're running sort of getting into this and we just need to to, to quickly rep, i'm sure i do have one quick question for you. obviously, reaction is coming in, speaking fast to this hospital, showing this foaming. there has been a cold from her mouth as a turning point. it's been described as a turning point. and there been calls for day of and what's your response to those calls? it is a turning point, his majesty just died except the government to announce the 3 days of mourning in jordan. and there is the least you can see and reaction to this to this uh to have the desktop acumen ta judy beeping. i agree, uh, and then like you,
1:13 am
so, and again, uh how many civilians would have to die before this war stops. when is enough enough? enough that says, i mean, this has to stop. this is, this is madness. and the whole region is, is casing between now of the civilization and the threat of this war is spinning, go over is really so i think all of us need to come to that there that you, us, you are a lot of with all of us who who wanted to, to, to prevent this was from spitting go over. all of us me to wait on is right. very strongly to say stop enough is enough. mr. for minister has so just to clarify tomorrow, there will be somebody off the minister administrative level of some of the, of the who i see in gender. so are ministers. you also as part of the delegation, they're going to come up with a clear kalina,
1:14 am
cool for an immediate cease fire. and i think what, what, what we to go forward is more than just kind of get to fight. we want to, we want this war to and we want to commit to it and supplies to go into guys immediately if i mean we enjoyed in our preparing guy, his mice, who came back from the okay at from gemini today. and he did, he put a few preparations. we're planning on, on an unprecedented data bridge to uh, take supplies to all the hospitals that has been open. anything you guys just do a 9 or so to bring the one that back. so the humanitarian aspect will be also on the agenda, the need to protect civilians. would it be on the agenda and we would do what tried . we would have been done beginning of civilians from both sides and we expect the rest of the world to do the same thing and condemn the beginning of civilians from both sides. but a city and life is not less is not the list or that is what a life or lives matter, the city and the innocence is i the innocent,
1:15 am
all those lives matter or the and we have to be very clear on that, not just send data blood, the muslim will or the why fi but in the whole world. okay. a minute. so finding jordan's foreign minister speaking to by myself and russell santa, thank you so much. we're going to head to southern gaza now with terra bu, assume is standing by for us tarik. there was the intensive bombardment at the hospital close to where you are. it's been described as a mastercard. what are you hearing about the death toll and just how awful it's being well today before, just a couple of hours. a very important hospitality started because this trip has been divided by these ready occupation forces. this hospital has to be move on without any kind of try a warning to it's, it's because you're talking about that this place has been turned into a mass, fuels of one of displaced people who were evacuated, had evacuated. the house has,
1:16 am
after being informed by these, with information forces to iraq, the way the house is and to move forward to a very good, safe place. from that perspective, the thought that this hospitality was a safe show. tough with the main effects. these really put apartment really even reach 2 different hospitals and medical facilities. now, according to the palace, the new minister built the site. the goal is this trip. there is more around 500 times thing and has been killed and due to the strike and the number of casualties to this current moment is not yet clear. we think that the confirmation from the thomas, the minister of health, also among the victims, there are still 200 victims. that it's a that util, this current moment or not yet identified. so it seems that this is a new mosacco that committed and starting to gauze, a stripe. it's similar to different sectors that i've been committed before by these video creation forces. and this gives us such a good rates indication that different hospitals might really face and come across the same destiny. and the same thing that happened today for a 100 or a hospital,
1:17 am
the site because it's true because the majority of hospitals inside the goal is districts become very proud of displaced people who really lost the houses and were forced to evacuate the who patrick was to be a way that is really going to developing story happening and beverage that was tired. bu as the live for us in southern. # as a, we're going to cross to zane a coda who is in bay were where prices have been taking place in support of palestinians. zayna, if you can hear me, can you just tell me what's on folding when you are? yes sir, i can hear you. i want to try the way because if you guys, are you in a safe position to to, to also show blue cross back to your outside. yes, yes, yes. yes. so security optics seems outside the u. s. embassy in beta rhodes, angry protesters, lebanese as well as the palestinians. they're trying to break through the security barrier outside the u. s. embassy level is army as well. the security forces are
1:18 am
using water, cannon steer, gas to push to disperse the crowds. i'm sorry, it's very difficult to raise with the so the guys there's a lot of anger, people are blaming the us administration. anger is not just toward as well, but the us as well. they believe it's the unconditional support that the united states gives to as well. that allows it to operate above international law and comments what they call massacre as many of the people here going out of the city. and we're going to let you just to get into a better fit, a safer place, and we're going to cross back you in a short while. in the meantime, the colors seen in, oh sorry, presidents. my foot a bus is speaking. let's cross to him. what was that except, buddhist, a woman dressed as house government, a cup of goods on hold to the fold has no red lines, no more enough for that. and it should be held responsible and punished
1:19 am
since the beginning of the aggression harmony, that there was a bloodshed. and given this massacre that took place to nights and have in front of them. but finally i decided to stop my visit and to go back home. so that i can be with my people during this. so my painful situation and hard times that i've agreed to with my brothers in egypt and towards them to 10. so the summit that was supposed to take place with president bison and i call on everyone the for you need to move from that. well, i don't really enjoy the return. i left the letting me or some feed them in and we
1:20 am
call it the every one to. so somebody remain calm because this will only benefit the enemies of the palestinian people. it's been more than 75 years of pain and occupation and crimes and violations against and violations of international law. while the world to remain silent. we have warranty, international community, the consequences of the crimes committed by israel. and i demand now during this difficult time. so as to how the governments of israel responsible and to provide international protection for our people, for them to talk to doesn't. so the decisions have been taken and made and many of resolutions have been taken,
1:21 am
but i've never been implemented because the united states does not want to implemented this. aggression should stop and those crimes through should stop pauses. well, we will not allow for another not during the 21st century, and we will not accept that our people will be forced to move again and displaced. they will remain on their land and we will not move. we will not leave. we will not leave no matter the sacrifices that we have to make of that be we will exert all our efforts and to all what we can so that we can stop this bloods shed in gaza. but that be, he mean i had the luck of any words or any statements except
1:22 am
about ceasefire will not be accepted and the security council should shoulder its responsibility and should take the initiative to issue a resolution to condemn this crime and to stop the aggression immediately what we call our people our to do in the for you need to, during this decisive moment, this is a dangerous moment to know what to do on it is we can only face this situation and to be able to stand by each other side. i sell you all our people in the process trip to our heroes and everywhere. and i tell them that these riley plans to displace you and make you leave your land. durham will never happen and we will face it and we will
1:23 am
stop it. and we are very sick the position of some of the countries who stood by as all the arab countries that are against the displacement as do not allow which we appreciate their position. our people will not surrender. and we will make victory at the end piece. be a fun on our and my tears and speeds recovery for those wanted and we will free the prisoners. and we will be on continuing its meeting as of now to take or make the right decisions in order to stop those massacres against our people. the meeting will continue in our there to make all the required decisions and the decisions that you see fit and we demand from the
1:24 am
world. and you have a world that has always been silent, it's time to take action. it's time to speak. it's time to say something, but you cannot remain silent as if this palestinian people do not exist in their blood has no value. everyone is silent. we will never accept this. we will never accept this from now on and we will not surrender. but what is important is that we will stay on our land. we will not leave our lent, and we will not allow anyone to force us to leave or to display such as they did in the past. the past will not to repeat itself. 19481967 events will not happen again. even gonna tell you about you said the for the city of the
1:25 am
island of the and the whole a 80 not okay. that was policy. you know, 30 president muscle, a boss speaking of to that is really a ride on a hospital in the guys that in which 500 people were killed. let's bring in him run khan, who joins us from occupied east jerusalem in ron. correct me if i'm wrong, but up until this point we haven't publicly seen the palestinian authority president. we've already received statements. so what do you make of his comments now? 12 days into this will slowly he had to speak. he had to speak off the hospital bombing. there's no way that he couldn't issue a statement, particularly off that he canceled his meeting with the president of the job involved and not meeting is not complete in council, according to referrals were here. uh, the jordanians are gonna be meeting and these are the addictions are going to be
1:26 am
retained. he also knows the moved on the streets of the occupied west by everybody in the west bank is supporting the people of gauze and everything that they going through. it couldn't get the ceasefire. you heard him speak that blaming these weren't the square for the attack. but he also told about a c spot that something he hasn't been able to get. so clearly he feels incredibly frustrated and feels like there is nothing to talk to the americans about. so addressing his people has become a priority has never been, he doesn't have any contacts with him as he doesn't have any contacts with the is raise. the international community is really the only way he has a ton of blood pressure on israel to either maintaining either saw and maintaining a ceasefire. or actually just didn't totally stop this war. but now he's not meeting with president or buttons. that's an avenue that's been cut off and i think
1:27 am
he feels like he is cut off from the international community that he has to now rely on the are both mentioned the arrow bowl that he said, that is now of the are both to try and put pressure on these right, these to try and stop what they doing. so it was incredibly important that he was seen off. everything was going on. and remember, this only happened the last, like 6 or 7 hours. this is will very fresh. so he needed to speak to the palestinian people. that's what he's done. he's got his message out that, but it's not going to have any impact on these railways. the present us present job body is still going to come and meets with is ready. officials including probably mr. benjamin us and yeah, he's, he's family, back in the is raise and as little like any see as far as a started to come take the media fusion and run. this comes off to tension between palestinians and security forces in ramallah. they're angry at the palestinian
1:28 am
authority, a subsidy. you're right, and the house and you authority skills equals is actually cracked down on all of those protests as they came out. just as those pictures that we also from the hospital came out and get them. they needed to come out in the street and show that simple, but the people of goals and that's spelled over into buttons just goes to show you how people are feeling. everybody is feeling like they are under attack. if that palestinians, for the matter, if you live in the occupied west by or if you live in the gaza strip, there is the unity on the palestinian street right now that we haven't seen in a very long time. and that's why they came out on the streets. my colleagues in ramallah would be able to give you a much more deep analysis of exactly what took place. but i can tell you that i'd
1:29 am
spend about a week and a half about some 90 days, a remodel just before i came to occupied east jerusalem. people what we for, we're afraid that they would be next. that same. so no change they out in the streets showing solidarity because know about then be next anymore. it's about them being palestinians. but the time of the i have to say we're in the middle of one of the biggest information was that i've actually seen covering this region for about 23 years now. um the x rays have come out and said that the volume that took place in the hospital was assignment. you had, don't just these ratings, but the problem is benjamin netanyahu present, isaac as a penny against these really, you know, me own lay me is. why don't you have is love it to have so that part of said it was and then m assess several other people including the anglican church. i've also said that this was and he's really attacked. now that is precedent for what the is right. these are actually dates if you're cold,
1:30 am
i'll call eat spring hubble offline jo, this for officer arabic when she was killed in these res. and the 1st few hours blamed palestinian gunmen to this. they were very clips. they said this is a palestinian government that actually sharp street of architect a couple of days late that they change their story and they actually admitted it. we've seen these raised to this when something like this happens. they money the most is they try and push the plane onto the palestinians. really been sold, who was just speaking of the united nations, kind of, you know, solutions that we actually also squarely blamed these ratings for this as well. probably as the boss in his statement plainly he's right, he's as well. so there is this information. ready this going on to apply no means it's not unusual. these readings, they will come out and the initial stages and money, the voices. however, we all hearing from islamic john and several others, like i've just said that this was, these are in your tax iran,
1:31 am
thanks so much for breaking own down process a wise and run con from occupied east jerusalem for further analysis. let's bring in abdullah how me to c m. he is a professor of political science and released studies at work goes university. you're also a full, my un spokesman. you join me in alto high studios. i have made. thank you so much for being on this program. before i get your thoughts from united nations perspective, we've just heard from the palestinian authority president after counseling, he's meeting with the us president. what did you make of his comments? he's certainly come under a lot of criticism. hasn't he over the past 12 days? yes, it's a, it's a bit to fool. it is too late. edition was spoken much earlier. i mean, the boston and people did not see him speaking every night or from the beginning of the war. i mean, he was seeing his people have slow thoughts. i'm yet, he even gave us a wrong statement about how much does not to present all our people. and he has
1:32 am
$0.30 to and they took it out the approach from defects of the why fi? and it was a john c, 6 of the, of his statement. so a boss should have came up from the beginning, putting all the blame on it as i am calling on a certain his pupils to night and to fight. this was not a word against him, ask with against the policy and that people especially is what i made its objectives a clear deportation evacuation another professor. and i thought of nothing but a continuation of the next about 1948. so how could he stay silent? for this time, and now the cancellation of the, of the meeting with president by the, the least he can do. well, i mean at the u. s. support thing is right on condition unit. and he comes and meet with him to people when they're on k, p for them, but on my la, wherever they most states. and i guess and there is 61 fellow students killed in the west bank 1201 did. and yet he was not visited. so at
1:33 am
least now he has to give this phone link, this statement obey at 12 days of to the game that has. yeah. there has been a lot of news tonight, as we've been hearing from mass correspondence from the bombing of the hospital to the school, to have mazda statements or the policy. you know, sorry, i want to get your thoughts now on, for me, your, your full month. you in spokesman perspective, the united nations rights chief has described the hospital strike, which kills 500 people in an already overwhelmed hospital. and the situation that has been quoted, humanitarian catastrophe, is described as and of course, totally unacceptable. and now the emergency mazing of the security council has been held. you have we had enough? no. okay, now, i mean do you and really failed the pulsing of the security concept mit yesterday? there was a draft resolution of introduced by dental insurance. it is very simple. it's cause
1:34 am
for, sees file humanitarians, these files and it's chords for humanitarian assistance. storage garza, m 2, but at least the hostages 1st. yet it's only got 5 volts us france and england. 3 of them voted against it. why? it's because it came from great options, a brazilian draft for the ocean now isn't with us. they still didn't vote on it. it's almost the same. yes, it's folks about the humanitarian pose and instead of a humanitarian ceasefire, and it's convinced how mass buying it. so that's was the u. s. position, they should consume how mass by name, so effect the u. s. was behind the failure of that the doctors usually had to be adopted yesterday. we have not seen this most look up to date. if the security cancer came united yesterday adopted that there was a new quote for immediate post policies via call it went through,
1:35 am
but it's could have avoided the spicer. so we have to leave it there. we have some breaking news out of favor, but we appreciate your insights up about how me see. i'm a professor of political science and middle east studies. appreciate your time. thanks. we're going to head to 11 on now way as i know, hunter is live for us in favor where protests have been taking place and supportive palestinians. there were on eric. yes, we are on a zane or is it safe to do so? certainly tensions a hi. what's happening? yes, emily, i'm really sorry. yes. it's not at all you want to go there. i'm sorry. the per how much does that mean embassy? all? yes. yes. well, protesters have been trying to break through the security barrier outside the throwing stones. i have to move to the saw it. and this is a now you are, katie continues move up, move up. i'm really,
1:36 am
i'm really sorry about this. no, not at all. he did it again to advise me in front of us. sorry, i thought, well, why don't we just let you get to the vision is i know it will let you get to the site physician and i'll ask you when we have a moment time abdel how may that see um where same process of breaking out across the arrow bridge and by right as an example, we know that some of happened in jordan in june is here. what can we make of this almost show of unity for many arab countries towards palestinians. that's a very clear and eloquent message for the whole. well, that the question of palestine is thing the main issue for or the people i mean, we have seen of dreams normalizing relations with as right. as i thought that the question of stein is gone. it's as a secondary issue for our ups. but they always make their conclusions based on
1:37 am
their relations with the machines. but here is a very clear, crystal clear example that the question of publish fine. it is too deeply seated in every autumn park. the demonstration that had been going on from the very beginning of this process, it had been going on from now actually in the west. and what are you saying? yeah. to assign a bed to my leadership wherever you go to tonight, as well as the news about the massacre and spread out and look what happened in a month and donation and motor thing. yeah. and in a come up in bucks that in the woods. yeah. levels yes, found it in, i meant also they up trying to protect the is there a impressive force people trying to push so of the embassy in the my last everywhere. even and many uh, width and confidence also. so that is very clear message. the question or part of science is still the main domain on the issue and the out of what it is,
1:38 am
the common denominator for or nothing. can you an idea of except the question of kind of style and that was proven again and again and be as a late latest few days of is already out of del, thank you very much again for your time. abdullah, how me see. i'm that we're going across to tie ron now where dosage or barry is standing by for us. dosa. we've just heard from outcast here that there has been reaction all over the arrow world. has there been any reaction from iran tonight about the hospital attack in gaza? which led to the depth of 500 civilians. yes, emily, certainly we've had the reaction from all levels of government here, starting with the foreign ministry spokesperson, who issued a statement condemning the attack and what they call designed us regime, as well as the reigning president. and for him, bracy has uh, taken to ex, formerly known as twitter, to condemn the attack,
1:39 am
and also blame israel and the united states. we also just heard from the renew for minister, was saying, i'm you're up to law here. who is arrived in jed that for an extraordinary session of the regional is not in the countries meeting that is huge. take place on wednesday to also condemned the attack and said that this cannot be tolerated. there's also been a number of demonstrations that have been taking place and at least half a dozen cities across iran, which started about an hour and a half ago. the main one being here in the capital up to her on it started in palestine square and we understand the protesters have now moved to as the french embassy outside the french embassy where they are chanting against what has happened on the palestinian population in gaza. there is a sense that this was something a catastrophic view as supreme leader of iran spoke earlier on tuesday. and he said
1:40 am
that at once the muslim countries, muslim nation and the people become angry, it is very hard to prevent them from expressing their anger. and that is exactly what we're seeing on the streets of these countries and certainly in iran as well. there's also being a very clear message coming out of ty, ron 2 is well, one that says, if this continues, we may intervene for one, you know, if i'm to paraphrase is that your understanding that that message continues as well. the message has been that if this continues, there will be repercussions beyond the borders of israel and palestine. as the leadership here has stress that you cannot control the resistance groups. and also muslim countries from reacting to what is happening. iran has said that they're not going to get directly involved. they have not been directly involved in the attack that i'm off the launch on october 7th. but having said that,
1:41 am
they said that the resistance groups in the region at may, we has will, and 11 on the groups in iraq and syria. according to the foreign minister at least have their finger on the trigger. meaning that they are ready to respond to any kind of escalation, which is exactly what we've seen tonight, happen in this incident and goes out in the bombing. and so we're gonna have to wait and see how it on falls. but certainly the ringing leadership has said that if the situation doesn't stop, it's only going to get worse. okay, we'll leave it there. they'll send you a very anti ron. thank you so much. speaking alongside ambassadors from arab countries, palestine is invested through the united nations. blamed is ralph the tuesday nights, a strike on a hospital in gun? so we hold it responsible for this massacre, this crime. and those are responsible for this crime should face justice and should face accountability and should be, you know,
1:42 am
a punishment arising through the 11th of this crime. committed against a lot of people to be faced by them. we as on our group demand immediately a ceasefire because the continuation of the war it means getting more palestinians every moment. the conflict between these round guns was factoring permanently at the united nations. as we've seen reporting christian salumi joins us live from the headquarters there. ano, what's the latest as well? the security council apparently has heard the call of re on months where the palestinian ambassador and all of the 20 or so members of the era group who came out calling for security council action. they say that it's time for the security council to
1:43 am
wake up. they said it was time for the security council to wake up not only to condemn this crime but to make for humanitarian access to gaza. they also said that this situation in the middle east now is not only a threat to people of gaza and to people of israel, but to the entire region and possibly the world. so they're calling on the security council to honor its commitment to preserve peace and security. and again, the security council appears to finally be responding to that an emergency meeting has been called for wednesday morning. it was called by russia in the united arab emirates, one of the countries in the air of goods they are in the air, a representative on the security council to discuss the hospital attack. we do expect to get briefings from an under secretary general rosemary decarlo,
1:44 am
as well as the middle east coordinator for the united nations tor venice slot. and also we are now hearing that brazil expects to call a vote on it's draft resolution, which would allow for a humanitarian pause in the area to allow the un to get a and much needed aid into gaza. this is something that's been in the works for adults last several days since friday. a russian resolution calling for a blanket humanitarians use fire was rejected after the united states opposed it saying that it didn't condemn him off the brazilian resolution does condemn us. and it also caused for this humidity. i am pause, so that will be voted on at 10 am on wednesday, not soon enough for the palestinians who've been calling for it, but some movement at last on that resolution. okay,
1:45 am
we have to leave it there. thanks. so much that was kristen salumi at the united nations in new york. we're going to head to assemble now and re best ron is standing by for us. he is a freelance journalist and joins us from east temple where their fame protests against is ro. what's happening where you are and re, can you weeks, can you describe the crowd them are there has, has it being the scene of tension or of things remained relatively peaceful. a large fire can easily set up. there is definitely sometimes in here because as i've heard from the ground, some people tried to at least move to enter these rather comfortable it. so the police have to move in and disperse the crown the, the patients are definitely high here. but as it's kind of a, as it does have a kind of a historical background sort of search uh,
1:46 am
the importance of palestine as it was under to control for hundreds of years. the, the, the atmosphere is kind of like mixed with national logistics sentiments and also, uh, it's uh and also the weight of its religious in parties. so the atmosphere right now is a kind of come down a little, but there was no way for me to get even close to the cost to it because police have blocked off everywhere. and they were trying to keep people off because of the diploma to the regulations, you know, keep them off from the console grounds. but other than that, the, that's the, that's what i can say on the matter what's and what's the mood like in terms of the anger? i mean, what are them? protest is cooling for what do they want from the scenes that we're seeing now?
1:47 am
it's actually relatively peaceful. we, we cross throughout correspondence. so i know how to invite route and they were rock springs. ryan and t gas being 5. this seems like a stock we different seen in terms of close the solidarity for palestinians. uh yeah, you know, anti is rarely town too much. i've always been historically been high in georgia because of it's a long standing in that case. wrong impression of sounds fine and the words i can so send em people. so there is a, there's a very distinctive kind of anger towards israel back now, you can just feel it, you can just smell is on the street. the people are waving turkey sounds sort of thing, but at the same time. so but as i heard, as i said, i could never be able to go near the concert because it was all black on the left
1:48 am
off. so but other than that, i watched people and they said there was some really real attempt at like the i'm friends of console is like the kind of writing because of that. so people are definitely really angry because of priest or ethics. the incident of the tonight, the bombing of the hospital that led to the real in depth, like hundreds of, of them. that's the last time i heard it was over 500 people including children. so people are understandably and width of leave area. and yes, it is. okay. and keep us posted as to how things develop throughout the evening and run best to run a freelance journalist any assemble what price has to taking place against is rel, i'm going to bringing david to ross now who is a professor at the national defense university. and a phone that pansy con director at the raven financial, it says he joins us from washington. d. c. david,
1:49 am
thank you so much for being on the program as we speak. you as president joe biden is making his way to is ro, watts is going through his head right now. what are his priorities as he touches down in tell a be presumably yeah, well i don't know what's going through his head, but i think he's probably been briefed on the need to present a wide noun of this war need for. he's got a very delicate balancing act. he's got to convince the israelis that, yes they, they do need to restore basically their sovereignty and eliminate the threat of invasion, but not to exacerbate the situation and to operate with a degree of discrimination in proportionality. because uh, you know, increasing or uh, civilian casualties will in long run the damage. israel's national security interest just out unprecedented is a trip by us president. so essentially it was on it's not unprecedented,
1:50 am
not entirely unprecedented, but it's rather rare which president bush went to both baghdad and cobbled true more. earlier on we saw president johnson went to vietnam. of course president roosevelt has been, um, uh, you know, during world war 2 went to uh, uh you all, to cairo other places. and president lincoln actually was shot at during the american civil war outside of washington dc during a battle. so it's not impressive, but it's rather rare, particularly when you think about the logistics footprint and the security footprint involved in security in the american president. and that's manpower that's taken away from the battlefield. so it's, there's a reason why they don't do it very often. what leverage does washington have to make israel abide by international law? we know it provides more than $3000000000.00 in military age. every year we have
1:51 am
seen tonight seems of a hospital in gaza paying a police or a had 500 people killed me. do you think that the u. s. will at any stage started using this leverage? well, i don't think there's a consensus in the u. s. that israel was behind the hospital attacks. so that's a problem, but certainly if the war does drag on and certainly if there are proven to be direct is really targeting of protected facilities. i think that you can expect to see a demonstration of the threat during the cold war. um, you know, the area is where the conflicts was pretty much viewed as in the united states as the soviet union. and this proxies versus a partner of the united states. since that time um support for israel has eroded significantly. and when you look at age groups in the united states,
1:52 am
the people who support israel, the most generally the oldest, and then it diminishes as you go down. so i think president biden will make the point that in the long run, a disproportionate or brutal response by israel will work against israel's national security interest. and i think that whether president biden directs it or not, you know, we've seen that congress can take action as well. so i think that will be part of this message. and he said to not he's consulted with king abdullah, the 2nd of jordan in life of those hospital attacks. and that's so much that was planned for, i believe, amman tomorrow has been cancelled, is not significant. or the fact that it's been delayed. we shouldn't rate too much into us. i think it would be very, very unusual to hold a summit in jordan wall. this is going on. and we have to remember that a significant proportion of the people who live in jordan are palestinian refugees
1:53 am
or palestinian origin. and i think that it would be prudent, given that security foot can require for you as president to visit someplace. i think it would be prudent to just not have that book that event there. i think they could meet elsewhere if they have to where they can just talk on the phone or by skype. okay, we have to leave it that appreciate your thoughts. and david, to rush a professor at the national defense university, informa pentagon, director of the right, in financial affairs we're going to head to the white house now when like henry, standing by for us. mike, we know that the u. s. president is currently on his way to israel. what awaits him when he laughs as well that we will see when president bided lands in israel, but we do know what he intends doing. firstly, he wants to express us to. busy for israel also wants to work towards avoiding this reading of this conflict. we know this because that's what his secretary of
1:54 am
state has to be doing and recent days in the region shuffling between capital. busy speaking to the leaders of the region, attempting to calm down the situation and attempting to prove. busy a spread of the complex also intended to create a. busy sense of humanitarian, really, but the best and gaza in the course of the day of the quotes of the dynamic of the situation. we seeing these demonstrations break up in many areas that us raise the seats on the binding visit to the region that we've seen as well. the cancellation of that meeting in a month, the cancellation came off the discussion between the georgia and king as the white house we ought to. busy the president biden saying it was understood because of the morning period that this meeting cannot take place at president biden. also, according to a white house statement, expressing his sadness at the events of the course of the day. but certainly what happened in gaza is something that is heated up the whole by the visit. it has put
1:55 am
pressure on what he is doing and it has put increasing pressure on the us relationship with this. well. okay, thank you so much. we'll leave it that my can not in washington. they say i'm going to bring in outcast now. her has been following developments for us. adult need. tell us a little bit about what you think biden is about to step into when he arrives in the israel. we understand, i'm looking at some of the latest lines that are dropping, that he has spoken to jordan and israel, but that missing with the policy, you know, sorry my food a boss has been cancelled one of my previous guess. describe that as a mistake. would you agree? no, i think if a bus went along with the meeting that's when and got has people in the course. i think that is consensus among public opinion is that the united states is behind or
1:56 am
that they're on condition of support of his are in, in, in all that is right on the take such a for all such as the new unit, imagine nation to the bullies to bomb the schools, hospitality road. so you on the west coast or that with the support of the us us came out to prove the very beginning support thing is we're giving them a cost of the launch to do anything they want. so the pulse thing and people don't see that any difference between the us and israel is always can not do that without the support of the united states and to see about us going and meeting with him. it would be a front front to the public signal people, so i don't think that's a mistake. i think he did the right thing. and that's what we see, that it's all right, this film because the egyptian and best of the egyptian prison and king jose and also counsel. so that is one thing that i think vital has nothing to offer. he
1:57 am
might focus with is worried about the humanitarian quarter door or maybe not to try to contain the conflict within the borders of israel and the palestinians in gaza. but that is, that doesn't solve anything. again, if they don't address their with closes, if they don't come come to clear that there is an issue. there is a policy named believe, posting a grievances for so many years. the 1st and foremost as occupation and think occupation is the issue. and without addressing that, without addressing that the palestinians had suffered so much, i'm the patient and the siege and does because it has been under complete cost of for the last 16 years they've been, they've been crying out there to grievances for so many years. i mean the last $34.00 of the you and of course they need to be spoke about explosion that could
1:58 am
happen and goes us to just what we have to wrap up. i'm sorry, my next present at jaron jordan is about to take over. we appreciate your insights as always abdel how me see i'm, i'm emily. angry. thanks for watching. we'll have more news in just a moment to stay with us. plenty of developing stories. the, this dilapidated apartment building is one of hundreds. it just had this fixed in the city. it's an autism campbell and her fabulous. she was born in south africa's eastern k products and moved to have a spoke with a husband in 1998. she says 4 adults had 6 children share one room. they don't pay rent. one reason why this to him several blocks abandoned by the owners or city authorities of the city officials quoted hijacks buildings. the building has 14 floors and $420.00 rooms each apartment is occupied is no, i didn't want to. i didn't know electricity is the like that for us. some people

pay range to criminal guns to run the buildings. last month, more than 70 people died with disappointment in china, is the court find a survivors and relatives more of the did the disaster by the side, advocates of the levels of poverty and desperation in and that is one of the most an equal societies in the world and the quality corrupt to refresh and rain in it just decided to cost the piece of cake. i'm sure it really excludes the desperate states of democracy and 11 through the eyes of those who are losing home every day. our dreams are becoming due. democracy maybe democracy for sale on al jazeera thought providing on sundays, but the patient doesn't have time to wait for the extremely unfortunate that there
2:00 am
are no quick wins and eventually such odd hitting interviews. do you feel like america is less than the age of these days? or is it just a different full? i think that democracy in the process facing realities. do you see that the fraction is already starting the g 7 in the us on one side, china and the bricks on the other? i think there is a huge piece of that to happen via the stores on talk to how does era the the hello, i'm down, jordan, this is the news i live from dell coming up in the next 60 minutes. at least 500 people are killed off to on his radio strike targets the alpha bucket . his hospital in gaza with hundreds of civilians were taking shelter
