4:03 am
correspondent, kimberly how get joins us live now. kimberly. so the president biden laying out there, what he says is at stake and the was in gaza and ukraine. what did you make of the speech campaign? why did button feel the need to address the nation now as well? this presidents felt the need to address the american public because the american taxpayer is ultimately the one that's going to have to pay for all of this. and so he needs the american public support and you also have to remember, this is an american president that's trying to win re election and you know, but i years time, so key. he also needs support there. uh, in terms of this decision. cuz ultimately that could affect him with this is unpopular, which it is as so that's kind of the issue for the president in the midst of all of this. but the challenge for the president is whether or not he convinced them or not. and as it was a tough cell, basically the president is making the argument that america supports democracy in democracy is at stake. this has been
4:04 am
a running scene for this president of since he came into office and whether or not that's going to resonate with the american people who are focused on kind of the kitchen table issues here in the united states. this is really the big question then as the bottom line is, the argument really is that these are democracies that are fragile and if they're not protected they, there could be a ripple effect back here in the united states. and i'm not sure that's going to be the strong enough argument for the ordinary americans. yeah, absolutely. kimberly and button says he will ask congress a further funding to um israel and ukraine. we don't know what that figure is, but it ends up billions of dollars. but congress, as we've been talking about is in the legislative room, but with with house republicans bickering. i have a who will be the next speaker. so what does that mean for biden's legislative agenda? a means it is basically dead on arrival until the us congress and the specifically the house of representatives, which is the lower chamber. it gets its act together and it doesn't appear to have that act together. and for the foreseeable future, right now,
4:05 am
they're struggling to come up with even a plan b, c, d, e raf. when it comes to getting a house speaker. and so that means all government business, including the president's request for funding for israel, for you prayed for border security along the us mexico border. all of that is stalled. it's all frozen and it won't be revived. and forms of bills or laws or legislative business of any sort until that is sorted out. all right, that can be how could life as the outside the why does completes. thank you. let's go to him. and connie joins us live now from occupied east jerusalem. and so how is president button speeds going down there and his right? it was very late here. it's just of the 3 i am in the morning, but i can tell you the speech will be seen as a result, sounding a success. firstly, it's a distillation of everything. the americans have been saying to israel, since this began on october 7th,
4:06 am
the israel has the right to defend itself that the americans have is rose back. and the president joe biden is fully committed. those are the messages, but i've come out from the us secretary of state ad blinking and from present joe biden, when he was here. and now, and this in the speech to the nation. also, it's about the money. the money is absolutely crucial. this $100000000000.00 figure that's being bandied around in the media. we don't know if the how much about will actually go to israel, but there's very little opposition to money going to israel. now remember is roll over the gets $3500000000.00 a year. in military assistance from the us is there any generals have publicly said that actually they have the fire power. they need to defeat the state of the war and goes up to the feet. i'm asked that i need the money for that. what they need the money for. busy is in case the war does spill over into other parts of the
4:07 am
region, unless specifically i think, talking about has the in southern lebanon and in the know and, and in northern israel. however, that's install contracts to well, joe biden actually said he said we're going to, um, it's rolled to the point where these things weren't spillers. israel will be simply too strong. the generals is like, well actually we do net that money just in case we have to fight a will on a nova front. so it's going to be seen as a success is exactly the kind of message. the problem is the benjamin not nets and yahoo was looking for he can now say to these ready public the, he's the guy that can speak to the americans room, but it was only a few months ago. it was only a few weeks ago that permits to benjamin netanyahu and present your advice and didn't really have a working relationship. is any off to october, the 7th? a that they've actually had to become close. but that is a slight problem for the is right. he's present job, i didn't in his speech specifically mentioned the palestinians, right? to self determination. he's specifically talking about the 2 state solution that
4:08 am
that's not something that has been talked about seriously in israel for years. and is certainly something that these readings on even thinking about right now. so that something that will be of concern to these rooms and just moving quickly to where you are finally occupied. east jerusalem. i understand there were confrontations at a refugee camp. what can you tell us? what sure camp is only about 15 minutes away from where i stand. about 2 o'clock in the morning. these radio army security forces rather when ins issue a pop at camp. we don't know for the day with that to try and arrest somebody, but the palestinians who live in the postings who live in that camp. i actually started firing effectively 5 works 5 practice at the is reading forces these ready forces. then i started to use take us in some of phones and a stronger days against those protests as it was over pretty quickly. but it just
4:09 am
goes to show you that even here and occupied at east jerusalem that has remain fairly quiet. certainly not like the occupied west point where they have been many deaths of policy and civilians, but even have the all tensions that cancel their up at any buttons. all right, take them and con life as they are and occupied east jerusalem newman. thank you. well they've been ongoing raids in the occupied. westbank is ready for it has killed at least 12 palestinians, the on thursday, more pictures of confrontation between palestinians and his ready forces have been posted on social media, latest bottoms happens. and that is the area of hebron. well, let's go live to sarah. hi, wrapped in ramallah. sarah is our, bring us up to date, then on these fresh is raise your rates across the west bank. what's been happening as yeah, it's been happening in multiple places increasing. hey and ramallah just uh, leo, we were standing and we had a conversation. we looked out to the main square which is not or we could hit cause be paying and obviously wanting each other that these ready forces were heading in
4:10 am
this direction. they moves further down the road just behind us, and it seems that he very specifically to make arrest. we're hearing that they're looking for specific people that might have an association or political affiliation with him us. but also we are also hearing reports. this is still ongoing by the way, that some that also looking for some of those guys in the course. we know some of the people that were working in some of those supplements in the southern towns along that border with garza came from garza, they were not allowed to return because of the c causes completely block. some of them ended up pay in occupied was find the palestinian authority which governs this area. he put them in in a place in hebron, but there are some that are dispersed and all the areas and it seems that they are looking for those people. again, unconfirmed reports, but what we do knows has been take us, we've had sound bones and also symbols heinously. they've been raised elsewhere
4:11 am
with smoking, a spouse of novelist with what you have for on. we're also talking bethlehem from multiple right. okay. happening all at the same time. meanwhile, close to novelist. that was also a demolition of a home. and that full, they all expect it to be more cautious. and so just put to the lodge protest across the west bank, off to the alley hospital bombing here in gaza that killed hundreds of people was the mood and like now on the streets then as well. i mean, of course, the price as we're heading into friday, so we're likely to see a huge price this as a result, but there is massive concern. they have people in occupied with payments. they have nothing to do with what, how much did this is the pay stubs, and by the policy knew the pharmacy, they say that they all being punished already. and this thing, not in terms of the numbers of arrest, the numbers of this is just really quite unprecedented and all over as a result of what's going on in gaza in the will on garza. so they are definitely feeling those rep precautions as
4:12 am
a lot of the i know so i can go towards the policy new sorts, the feeling like they haven't been signing up for the palestinian cause. any one who is showing any form of defend against, as ro is rose narrative, whether they all john list, unless or even consider how my sympathizes or potentially speaking out against what's happening in gaza. it seems those people are being arrested by these ready forces. all right, sarah, calling about the interim syrup. thank you. when agree cool for the trojan guns that has been targeted by is randy strikes, getting to palestinians. it's believe dozens of people are trapped under the rubble of the church to send a virus many internally displaced. people, mostly christian palestinians were sheltering in the church, believing it was one of the last remaining safe havens from continue is ready from bottom for the church of saint paul. freest is the oldest and the use in gaza and one of the oldest and the wealth. it's located in the outset to neighborhood of gauze as old city, its founding, fixed back,
4:13 am
some 1600 years. the guy, the guy last time it got the whole building collapsed. we couldn't get the bodies of these people. the targeted produce the church of saint various was talking to a 2000 year old church, destroyed by the jews. there were no weapons or anything in the church. children and missing. we can't find them. we're still unable to find them. there were no christians left within the church and all those who in the church were christians, enough is enough. we are really tired. sorry. god bless, whom has more on these rarely attack on the church from hun units inside gaza. you last is a strike on the orthodox church. really close us, the damage to different buildings that have been collapsed due to these really bombardments in the area. this place had been used as chill, tough for people who were displaced from the houses. and even they are even living
4:14 am
peacefully until the bomb and just took place according to the latest updates that had been reached from the ministry of health back till this current moment early to palestinians are really killed until this current moment. the number of casualties wrong using a dream. the last couple of hours. only one for abutment had been hit in a great, a sort of rate refuge account. these really ongoing strikes when the goal is was to prep catastrophe consequences on different life aspect. it's broke, a catastrophe damaged or civil infrastructure most tufts, and even the, the, the medical facilities. you're talking about every single area. and the goal is this trip has to be bombarded by the, is really a straight to all these current moments. there is no any potential hope for palestinians to reach us useful. yeah, that can to prevent or at least the stuff is very ongoing strikes. what joyce absolutely is generally the secretary of the american friends service committee. she says the international community needs to take
4:15 am
a stand against the tax on places of worship as the place of worship they ought to be. and we know them historically to be the ultimate sanctuaries, where when people go there to seek shelter that they know that they are protected. and it's was to me this continuous targeting indiscriminately is the ultimate criminal act. those who feel the most vulnerable are seeking refuge in churches. this church is the old one of the oldest churches in the world. and um, you know, we have invest that there's a rich history of people living together. most lives christians and even jews before 1948 and, and, and this, you know, we, that in this history is being destroyed physically as well. this wonderful, precious dear history is being destroyed. and i thought about this seeds christian
4:16 am
community, in its sheltering in that church, when bear with their children seeking refuge and they've been calling us as the international community for health, for decades. they have been under a blockade for 16 years. and we have not heard their call and we left them down time and time again. and so the, the, in the, in the international community, you know, we need to stand by or people worship, 1st included when they are calling us to, to support them to stand by them. and this is not happening it's, it's not ok. it's not ok in pittsburgh smart. ok here. it's up to not be ok anywhere. you know, and, and this, and we see a history of the is really government, you know, targeting must start giving churches and in the west bank included, you know, then it's a pretty church and the have was, was attacked in 2002 during the 2nd uprising and so this is not you and you
4:17 am
as of late to in spitting on christian pilgrims in jerusalem, desecrating graves and cemeteries and at the continuous packs of some off in jerusalem at this is not new. and, and so, but i also wanted to say that while, you know, we, we, we, we are calling for our governments the us government because we see that the us government is complicit in this. they have not heated those calls. and they have not called for a ceasefire. this is on them to the end. and so we are encouraged, somewhat encouraged by the talk of humanitarian aid coming in. but you know what? trucks it at all for 2200000 people. i mean one joke and so that there has to be action there to immediately seize a call for
4:18 am
a ceasefire and ensure that lives are. 2 preserved, you know, regional and well leaders are using diplomatic channels in the hopes of bringing humanitarian aid to more than 2000000 people in gaza. washington says around 20 trucks will be permitted to go into gauze or from the roof of crossing with egypt on friday. but a group say this is not enough and there's no guarantee it'll be distributive ritual cetera as well. a listing is trapped in does a find. numerous is read, it strikes a heating 7 areas across the density populated region is salt. and par law, which is rand had declare see the we came from kansas city. they told us to come to the south. so we came to the south. we found that the strikes intensified in the south. we stayed in a house in front of us with strikes behind us. well dry. there's no safety. there's no less safe thing because you have to be ready to die. just to stay in your house

4:22 am
potentially towards target's in israel. obviously it was mock went up, the wall head is in the rocky capital bank that for us. and that's the latest details. this will literally just as the speed of a tax started thing you as a military facilities, a has been analysis and claimed a by admitted to factions aligned with iran. the reason to attack targeted, i said the admitted to base in the west side of the province of unbar and the security sources in the area say that a civil glasses were heard inside the base. the attack was cut. it would buy bose drones and the missiles, meanwhile, this is the 3rd attack. you estimate it's the passivity. is it targeted? uh, within the last 24 hours the member yesterday at the same military base and it said, and also another us submitted surveys and know the rock cause

4:26 am
a rab protest in the city of haifa before it really began with an almost time partition from the west bank by this will. there was still some palestinians prepared to protest. green light that is giving is right to do whatever they want to do in gaza. maybe people think they're doing that to guys who we stand. i guess they maybe they decide to do the same things here to us with police, the lawyer and human rights activists to join many previous demonstrations in this town. that's often a sense of a palestinian israeli political movements. the protest he helped organize thursday night started peacefully, but still prompted his violin to rest the month. so does it
4:27 am
a woman from israel or some edmonds islands, that pro palestinian rallies in jordan's capital, it came off to demonstrate as a band. and if i'm going to these really and us embassies, assumption jervey had sent us this report from us. well, people have been gathering as they have in the last 12 days here in the georgia being capital today. what is different? is that not being allowed to go to either the is really, are the american embassies it and let me just move out of the thought. so you can feel the energy of this crowd who being gathered in here for the last few hours. they've been charging slogans on a diety or has been against israel. is happening in the back drop of the julian king traveling to hire, talking to the egyptian president. and this is again a gathering which has been a fair way people can come and show us on a diety. it also turns into
4:28 am
a morning precision. and then people also use it and that is really happening as sasha, and have also broken out with the police as people define and the prices go toward the very end of the finishes stopping them from doing that. but as you see that this is the crowd that continues to swell. and the last few hours, again, because of the weekend, we're expecting more and more people coming here with the children with their families, think that they're tired of watching the scene unfold on the screen. and because this can be home to more than 2000000 palestinian records using their families, they want to show something they want to do something for the people who are in gaza. and according to the people here is valuable stuff. it's aggression on the policy people, unless it does, people will continue to come out and this will just bring in some other world use. now in the us, republicans in the house of representatives are still struggling to find a speaker. so the chamber composites,
4:29 am
those fed bid for the post by of higher hardliner jim jordan is expected a full show to the majority. search for new speakers started this month off to pro trump republicans, austin, kevin mccarthy. they lost the confidence in the coffee after he agreed on a deal with democrats to extend government funding in canada has withdrawn a large number of diplomats from india following a dispute over the motor of a seek, such as leader on canadian soil. $41.00 of $62.00 canadian diplomats have left. india had threatened to withdraw that diplomatic immunity last month counted as prime minister said it was credible allegations. india was behind the king in the province of british columbia. india rejected that claim as upset to the one you claim. now for months ukrainian troops on the southern fund line have been trying to re take roads and cut off russian supply lines. i'll just say it was the soldier's place to retake the town of rhode button. in russian controls operation, san posada reports from the front line,
