2:00 pm
in the last 2 hours or so short statements on either side. so the fast moving a diplomatic visits by us president joe biden to show his support for israel. you just heard him say repeat is central message since the moment that the war and gaza began, which was that the us has israel's back. and joe biden repeated that once again, slightly different for him because he's now inside is real. and this is something for which these really prime minister netanyahu praised them and lauded him in saying to him when he 1st got off the plane saying, you know, the only thing better. those were netanyahu's words. the only thing better than israel having its, uh, its uh, staunch l i. a standing besides it is uh, being in israel. oh, that's where we are right now. it is 11 gmc, it is 2 pm in israel, in gaza in the occupied west bank. alan fisher is standing by and tell of if he's
2:01 pm
been covering the joe biden trip at every turn. ellen, what do you make of these latest statements? they, they were very similar to what the prime minister and president and said only what 90 minutes prior to that. well, you would expect that by and large that the joe biden is going to be steadfast, to be support. but he's really has been since the very early days of this crisis he sees it is important to make that statement. as we mentioned before, what is different this time is that when there's been issues between israel and guys in the past, us presence of 10 to cold for restraint on both sides, that key word restraint has been missing in any of the statements that the joe biden has made uh, his team came here hoping that he would be able to deliver on something he might have to you in progress like the spot,
2:02 pm
humanitarian corridor. something to get vital 8 into guys, but also to get the americans are deal citizens out is certainly something that was important to on to the blinking as he met these release twice in the last 6 days. and also 2 out of capitals. he needs a deliverables, something that he can say that this trip was more than just a visit of solar, died at the particularly given that the 2nd half of this trip, which was meant to be meeting with the i out of leaders in a mind has an essentially being cancelled, he has things, diplomatic, we some of the, by those leaders because he wouldn't go as far as the coal per c spot put out in the us president has been publicly told in either of his too short speeches so far hasn't publicly called for a ceasefire. so is it perhaps the case and he doesn't want to put this. he doesn't want to say this publicly until he actually gets the results that he can announce of the time he did that. so
2:03 pm
often the way was too cold for to cease by knowing that it might pull on day fears . but it's clear that you'll fight and believes that israel suffered is something you're going to use. a benjamin netanyahu is elia analogy, something in the region of a 2911 time one of 12 of the 7. and so he absolutely believes that israel has the right to defend itself. of course, the problem he's going know is that the humanitarian crisis is made to it is getting much worse. and what happens before he left the united states and the explosions at the hospital and gaza, certainly complicated and overshadowed this trip. but he's continuing with the core message which is high support is real, i am right behind them. and again, he's promised that he will continue to give a feel what it needs to in self defense. the americans are also very keen to stop
2:04 pm
this conflict expanding. and that is why we try to improve, arrive in the mediterranean. why 2nd? it got tired of you has arrived and why i 202000. so rapid reaction force has been deployed to the area because they want to make sure that all contingencies are covered under hoping that that short military strength will act as a detention to anyone who might try and want to another attack on israel. alan, the us president, so far as had very little to say about palestinians of the i thought to be noted, i think noted very clearly by the the i believe there is that he was due to meet. they were hoping that there would be some humanitarian progress, but also as i say they, they wanted some commitment to
2:05 pm
a cease fire. and the feeling with the king of jordan, the president of egypt and the president of the palestinian authority, was without a commitment to cease by coming from his summit with them in a month. it would almost be is if those 3 leaders would endorsing whatever was the following guys. i clearly, that is totally understandable for them in the out of world, but particularly at home. and so that's why the deliberate, the massive diplomatic snap. but we'll see away from, from a meeting with what you'll find there is a big step for jordan, very, very close to the united states. king abdullah is pretty close to joe biden, had thought that was a, i'm sure, a difficult decision for the king. but when you felt you had to be, because all of that, i get it to bite list as talked about how much not representing the palestinian people that's about as far as he's. he's willing to go, but you've got to remember back in 1997, the united states designate is how much is etc disorganization. joe biden would
2:06 pm
have been in the senate at that point and he is aware of that designation. so certainly doesn't want to see anything that could come close to any sort of acknowledgement of how about us being a representative of the palestinian people. oh says there was an ellen fisher in tell of the thank you very much. i want to go back to the situation on the ground in gaza. at least 500 palestinians have been killed after israel carried out in the air strike on a hospital in central augusta. this the single worst attack on the besieged enclave . israel has blamed it as long as you, hon, for the attack and accusation that the palace seeing group denies. give me a side is inside the gaza strip, even though you're joining us on the phone. i understand that you've been forced to move in the last hour or 90 minutes or so. what has happened? yes. so i was actually forced to move back to dr. city, where actually i was with missed the 5 days andres this, i believe,
2:07 pm
also moved back to god the city because of the ongoing intensive endorsement in the south and far cuz districts both in hon. you and it's in rough off yesterday and oh i through the night the hours of the night and this morning the bombardment and han unit is not. so they were over 200 people killed in con eunice and dropped off a load yesterday alone. and most of the people also killed were people who wear, who have to be brought to wasted. and they were directed by the huge, really military to go south as a to stay here because it's safer. they go to the city and the north. but that is the, the board and his habits talk. they have intensified in these areas more. and yes, we're still suffering with, with a huge number of people staying in small places alone. it's extremely crowded in
2:08 pm
these 2 governments now and with the lack of water, the lack of electricity, short is just good. no, uh, no, he kind of connection to the outside world. so basically i'm just like understood other families who say i drive a guy dignity in my home to. ringback make their own going everywhere, then die like that. while i crowded with other people, without anything in the cell, i understand and correctly some correct me if i'm saying anything that's wrong that the house that you just left was then was then struck. is that correct? or actually we were state in a compound of residential towers. the house that is just neighboring to these residential towers. and of course, the viewers now know how the job christy, all,
2:09 pm
because this trip looks like and how old are very much adjusted to each other. that's home is a 3 story building home for actually starting to be. it was completely destroyed and very dozens, now under the rub, both sides, people were instantly broke out, killed their dozens of injuries, including my husband's nephew from the tower. there are also a number of injuries of the tower of where we were staying in that apartment where we were stay that's targeting just took place. the 3rd thing just happened when i reached gone to the city. so you can imagine how insane or realistic the full war sounds like it's we're, we're, we're just starting from a place to another. and then we just started suddenly here the best place was targeted, a good bargain. it destroyed. and that your life was just faced by coincidence,
2:10 pm
like that. you know, i'm, i'm very sorry to learn this and i'm extremely sorry for your loss and your husband's loss as well. so the situation now is that you choose to, you have chosen to return to gauze a city. is that where you intend to stay now? yes, that's where i intend to stay with my family. does the bar making got to city are just like the doors are just like the south is just the said if just is equal in the entire got this trip. so, being side directed, i bought 2 wasted with thousands of other families. when we got these actuation order i, i, we buried all the circumstances and the situation of having to stay. i like dozens of families together in one small area and we buried a k and living without water without electricity, all the pos, okay? but now, since it's the se in the entire trip,
2:11 pm
why not just come back to your place where at least at least you could have some space for you and your family alone. and if you're going to die, you're going to die anywhere in the chest. it does not matter anymore. it's just after 2 pm where you are in garza, i'm the and i want to bring our viewers up to date with everything that you've just explained. we're talking to our report, a young, the cited in gaza, you know, has decided like many of the palestinians. she says to return to gauze a city which is the, in the northern part of the gaza strip. this, despite the earlier, is really calls for hundreds of thousands up to a 1000000 palestinians to evacuate. the northern part of this trip go to the southern part. many people actually heated that coal only to find that they continued to be bombardments in the southern part of the gaza strip. and now you must confirming to us that many people have actually chosen to return to their homes. because if nowhere is going to be safe, then they might as well go back to where they actually have a,
2:12 pm
a roof over their heads. and you know, was just reporting that shortly after her family had decided to lead their location in hon eunice location. just next to it was targeted, killing multiple people, civilians, all of this happening as we speak just in the last how or so in gaza. you know, thank you very much. again, my sincere condolences and i do hope that you and everyone else will stay safe. now the hospital massacre has triggered protest in the occupied westbank with hundreds of palestinians rallying in ramallah. demonstrators have again turned out to show solidarity with the people have gone to. this comes off the people took to the streets on tuesday nights and were confronted with palestinian security forces held out dummy joyce's life from ramallah. hold on. what's happening right now of the well it's, you know, it's, it's
2:13 pm
a period of morning across the occupied westbank 3 days of mourning in support of those big sims. we have full and in gaza, not only in that attack on the hospital, but also the $3000.00 plus that have died since the beginning of this war. i'm just been that we didn't just attend the cam right now. you can see there's a protest here in the city center of ramallah. this is my nora square is basically the heart of the city. it's been going on for about an hour now, and it's been a quite peaceful, completely different. i was here uh from what i've forwarded to you last night when they were confrontation, redeemed for testers and security pauses and sudden grenades and tier gases were fired for they've been going round. they've been charging in support of the people in gaza. and so they're already of the people in guys that's insular their idea of
2:14 pm
how much as a resistance movement. i think this has really been stopped registration. this tag is full among many people and probably a lot of the use a say, one to voice their opinion. you can also see that there is security forces that they are there, but they're not interfering with anything with the projects to go to the actually where these loose like the blue shirts. i hope you can see them on the screen. and this time there plus church is very different. that was, it was here last night. i think really at the palestinian authority, wanting to make sure they give the right to people to do tool and also not wanting drive the similar to scenes on the full. because that actually raises popular angus and puts the police to need president mind with the best need that more difficult for a position. now we also understand that there's similar protests of that happening
2:15 pm
in several cities and towns across the occupied was back. places like not blows, also as, as far as we know, everything is going on so peacefully so far of how much of what we're seeing, how do i, we understand that support for palestinians in gauze of how much of this is also anger at the presidents of the palestinian authority, my what of us? well we have heard last night, char thing at times. not very often. the people want the full of the review. we've heard that also earlier here, but the main message coming out is actually solid. there we do for guys. yes. that is frustration with the palestinian authority. many see that president the bus has been more absent. the president hasn't been forceful enough, as some people say that his hands are tied and that he can't do much. and that's
2:16 pm
why probably he had to cut short that visit to jordan and pull out of any possible summit was president joe, by the especially the, the u. s. at this point, as backed unequivocally just as the president joe biden has said at the beginning of this crisis, it is really sad and has mentioned barely mentioned actually the palestinians and the plight they go through. not only now with this bombardment of guys that but on a daily basis, especially here in the occupied with. but just have people have to just remember that palestinians die on a daily basis. the numbers as, as more on a daily basis. but it's continues $365.00 days a year. so you can imagine the amount of pressure palestinians on the, when it comes to this part of the world. so yes, a lot of frustration, but not only the best coming back. and finally, addressing publicly,
2:17 pm
the palestinian people is something that needed to happen sooner rather than later . ahold of reporting from amount of thank you very much. we can get another update from gaza. now we spoke to, you know, you know, side a moment ago, she was back in the city. now i'm speaking to bell as he entered this honey, i believe shuttle you are in hon unit, so that's in the 7 part of the strip. and i believe you are still next to a nicer hospital when i last spoke to you. there were ambulances bringing and bringing in the wounded and the injured from continuing bombardments. what's going on? no yes, we're still reporting a life from not their hospital in fun use. the past for the 5 minutes has been relatively quiet that everybody believes in inside the hospital. this is the storm . this is the, the calm before just the story. and. busy we got confirmed report just in this hospital, another hospital,
2:18 pm
the number of people who have been for now dead killed as a result of this drug has rise in 256 people since this morning and casualties of his 100100105 people have been injured seriously, half of this, a number of casualties are in critical condition and been in line for for surgery. the what's, what's important to mention here despite the, the shattering security sense, a sense of security and gaza after the, the compartment on the baptist, the hospital people are still pouring into the hospital and knowing it's, it's dangerous. however, when i spoke to some of the people they, they confirmed that there's okay, there's no replacing the and it would be easier for them and see this talk. then they are near the hospital. i wouldn't take time to transport them to a hospital kind of ironic,
2:19 pm
but this is the reality of everyone in gaza right now. we're watching the hospital footage and, you know, on surprisingly it's not good. we knew, even before the latest strikes that several hospitals have had to scale down their operations for lack of a fuel, lack of electricity, lack of medication, lack of water, lack of everything, lack of space, even in the hospitals. talk to us about where people are going now because we spoke to, you know, she and many other people felt that the self actually wasn't any safe at the north . they went back up to the city. you've stayed in the south. what are people doing? all right, well some people who just came to have to make a decision that if it's on safe here, then, then why not just going back on whatever happens to us happens. i mean, the, you know, up people that to the point of, maybe i'm careful of using the term here, but to the point of being defend the size of what's happening. so if it's really
2:20 pm
not safe in the south and not saving in our home. so it's better to die in our homes, and this is exactly the sentiment of every palestinian residing in garza. now i know some of the people that we, we've worked with in the past or we happen to sit in one classroom. they just went back to their homes, even if they are ruffled. they say that they were not leaving that from here because everywhere you go, a danger is after you speak of hospitals. i just spoke with the, the director of the emergency department. and i wanted to take us to get a sense of where the hospital is hit, with the, with these bags aggravating sit. the reason for the the hospital is, is 3 times beyond its capacity as of now the, the large influx of casualties and people who have not been identify as dead bodies are brought to the hospital in the past 2 days. and they haven't been identified
2:21 pm
and identify it, it's because they are from the back away from the northern parts and guns that govern the race. and they just happened to evacuated by themselves, not with the full families. and that's the reason they haven't been identified yet . but as the concern number of just to be only 56 people have been killed as a result of the ongoing airstrikes in the city of han, eunice, and a little over a 100 people are seriously injured of the hospitals. it is on the brink of collapse completely, isn't one power generators and it's due to sort of a fuel. they don't have enough d r there. now there is like a, a war room going on to make this decision possible to shut down some part of the hospital and save the fuel and the generator. and whatever it electricity generates for the major parts of the hospital,
2:22 pm
which makes according to the director of the emergency department, it pushes everyone in the hospital to make some hard decisions. who do key then and, and hopefully they'll basically, oh, of the patients. kind of thing and during list honey a share, but thank you for joining us in the program again and for that latest update from the southern parts of the gaza strip. again, you're in hon. eunice. thank you. honey. thousands of people are rallying outside the us and is really embassies in the jordanian capital, amman it's show support the palestine following israel. the air strike on offer a ask the baptist hospital in gaza on tuesday. enjoy day in government has declared 3 days in the morning. several pro palestinian marches are expected across the country. lumnick parties have called for a general strike, a sum of inch of a to exist from a mine. what's the latest on your end of summer? as well as you've been seeing the seems very,
2:23 pm
the protest number of protest as have been swelling in the last few hours to be with that last night at these really embassy as well. where there was a large presence of the police who were trying to push back these both testers trying to prevent them from entering the is really canvas compound. it is some of their scenes there. there's a smaller protest of the u. s embassy as well, but the, this is where the flash pointed here in the jordanian capital, i'm mine that people want to go and vent that kind of advocates really embassy. we spoke to a former jordanian m p as well last night. she told us that this, the presence of these really embassy is hurtful and in her words, shameful for jordanians. and has been living here because they do not want to talk to israel. a while they're in their words, massacre is being committed on how to send in. so you've heard from the jordanian foreign minister earlier as well saying that this summit, which was supposed to happen today in mind between the americans. the godaddy is
2:24 pm
the brother simmons and the difference is no longer going to take place here because what he calls massacres, that are being comforted by the is really government. so as you said, this is not just a food test in one spot. there's quadratic filters that are happening across jordan, a country which is home to more than $2000000.00 instead of sending refugees. okay, the meeting between our leaders and joe biden has been cancelled, but surely there must be some behind the scenes. a diplomatic activity, right? what's going on on that front of hearing that there is still lines of communication which are open amongst all of the sides. but this is a categorical rejection by both the jordanians and the addictions that they do not want. the displacement of another must migration from the palestinians from their lines into either jordan or the different territories. and that is something that they are clear that they do not want to open their borders for these people to be
2:25 pm
just basic because as i said, there are more than 2000000. but a senior refugee is still here who do not have the right to return to israel. so this is going to be one of the most difficult things that getting these parties to agree on. whether if they want to take some palestinians from the other side for to allow in 8. and that's where the 2 sides seem to be stuck on very the get out of governments have been asking for association with facilities to allow in a to the besieged gaza strip. but as president job, i do have been pushing the lead to still use their influence. on policy news for hostage release, and maybe some sort of opening of the board is for people to free from some a bunch of aid reporting it from amman and jordan. thank you very much. and protests are taking place in 11 on against israel. has blog has called the large scale demonstrations on wednesday and what it's pulling a day of unprecedented rage. egyptian president of the kind of c, c rejects the,
2:26 pm
the displacement of palestinians into sinai. adding that it would make the peninsula target for israel. the whole concept of transferring palestinians from the gaza strip into sign is simply moving the fighting resistance from the gaza strip to sign i, which means sign i will become a base for military operations against israel and then is there, i will try to defend itself and direct its military operations against egypt and sign on egypt is committed to establishing peace. we should remain dedicated to our investment in the peace process. we should come up with a viable solution and if there is a tron, so that's what bates has a negative does in his row. last row do what they wish to do with the minute true operatives and cause a before overturning the palestinians. box full acts by israel, cussing water, and electricity as a means to forcibly transfer palestinians into the sign i peninsula, which we totally reject. reminder of the headlines on allison 0, this our,
2:27 pm
there's been international condemnation afternoon, is really here, a strike on a hospital that killed at least 500 palestinians. the attack targeted awfully baptist hospital in central augusta city. thousands of displaced families had been sheltering their israel is denying involvement in hospital attack. it's blaming fighters from the palestinian islamic jihad, a statement that the arm group has rejected. us president joe biden, this meeting is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu in toby said that he was the police. i haven't been outraged by the hospital attack and supported israel's denial of info the while. you're watching the lives guys over guys, a reminder of the updates that we got from the gaza strip. bombardments, continue both in the north and the south. that listing is we had heated israel's call to go from the north to the south. now returning to the north, stay with elza 0. that's it for me. so then a, you've been watching else, is there
2:28 pm
a special coverage of the war on gaza? it's just past 1130 g, mt. that's 2 30 pm in guns. for 500 people have been killed by and is really there a strike on the hospital. lots more coming up at the top of the, the the good heavy along this weather report begins in asia pacific and we are tracing out this weather maker across the green peninsula pushing into the whole kind of island . this our forecasts on thursday. watch what happens on friday. it really gets going, in fact, whether alerts have already been issued in tokyo for intense rain. and this is a cold front, so it's kind of dropped down those temperatures to actually below average in tokyo . we haven't said that for a while. and fairly windy conditions as well on friday,
2:29 pm
we'll see those wind gusts exceed 60 kilometers per hour, intense rain, southern china, northern areas of vietnam. this all has to do with a tropical depression. and with a month to range now starting to peel away from india, i think it's just the southwest corner and careless state. we've got the biggest downforce. same goes for sherlock as well. we've seen pockets about a 100 millimeters of rain over the last 24 hours. it's quite it down in buckets, dawn. so i want to take you to the middle east. we've got some rain sneaking in from iraq to iran and some of that energy i suspect major struck down into kuwait. so for sure, more cloud cover in the mix on thursday, but we may see some showers in storms. and for us here in dell, it's still humid, but i think by saturday things will turn, excuse me, that's a snapshot of pure whether it's the world slow down. we stand for as homes with fits of global nichols
