5:00 pm
constraints, especially out of respect to the victims. and so that families say you have just watched a 92nd speech by the secretary general of the united nations, antonio gutierrez, so we admittedly missed the 1st line, i think missed the 1st line or 2. but, and, and i say this as i bring in the fields where you, who just watch this with us on sit here in doha. it's, i don't know how to describe this is anything other than the un secretary general justifying himself. and i assume it was justifying the speech that you made yesterday we were just talking about this part way of diplomacy at the un. yeah. and yesterday you explained to us that he made waves when he said what is happening right now? what um, i beg your, pardon, the uh, mazda attack did not happen in event, but that was his, quote,
5:01 pm
the mazda attack did not happen in a vacuum. and the quote you were explaining to us that these rallies were furious at this. and we just saw that you and secretary general essentially say this is what i said, this is why i set it. i think it was, he was reminding me uh, the was the end of the 80s that she condemned. what happened to the 7th of october? actually the pre to his a speech yesterday because the 1st pulled up, most of i have the exact quote cuz we turned in 20 seconds later and this was late . but this was a 2 minute speech. just the quote is, butera says that it is false to say he was justifying acts of terror by him. us. it is false to say he was justifying acts of terror by him us. that is what he was accused of doing by israel. yes. because that the, the, the politic kind of bullying that she was facing in the last
5:02 pm
24 hours was out. he was bullied, actually in the last 24 hours. but as a lease, putting him into the quote, i'm not saying that actually look what you said is that backs up to because you know, you're not talking about what's happened and the 7th of october, i think his night 60 seconds is trying to fix that because as he said, connected to the by saying he comes devon. what time as they say shocked by the misinterpretations of his statement to the security council on tuesday. i think it was actually acting to the code for his it is a nation and to he just pay for the i think it was very clear message that you know, this is what i said and this is also what i believe in uh it was it was but as you know, strong statements from him. this is really interesting. i don't really, i don't recall frankly, un secretary general having, having done anything quite like this in this format under these circumstances,
5:03 pm
to come in to make a statement to the world which is a prepared statement that he had time to, you know, he had time to calibrate his language, decide exactly what is what it is today. i mean, so i'm using buddies. and so the money he was buddy a guy sitting in the last 24 hours. i looked into media, especially in terms of reading media. it was yeah. okay. i think we'll talk about this again. most you've, thanks for your snap analysis on this. ox them is warning that is really is using store vision as a weapon of war. the agency says just 2 percent of the normal food supply has been delivered after is really imposed a total blockade of spam. describe the situation as for risk and says 2300000 people are being collectively punished in contravention of international humanitarian law. on the significant drop and deliveries is creating an immediate and life threatening situation for a 2 point. 2000000 people of which hopper children who are now in desperate
5:04 pm
desperate need. so that's where you get the 2 percent of their usual food supply that they've been getting since this started, what are people eating? my family is in roswell, i, yesterday they share the 3 kinds of 2 non between about 20 people with cucumber. um they have to queue as your reporter said, for hours, for water, or even to get some bread. the prices have blown out through green water is almost nonexistent. or we don't need to be leaders available per person. the un that's 50 and the leaders as the minimum bare minimum, even in the amount of tearing emergencies as the bar. uh, so that's 5 times less than what the u. n said says the bare minimum for a people person to survive. numerous bakeries and supermarkets have been destroyed and damaged are those that are up original of course cannot meet the local demand for essentially, like press spread. guys is only working wheat, mail is non operational because there's no fuel because and it runs of course on
5:05 pm
electricity. um, essential items like power oil, sugar um are present in under storage warehouses, but delivering them is nearly impossible due to the damage roads over $15000.00 farmers that have lost their crops. $10000.00 livestock readers are struggling and the finished fishing industry is completely paralyzed. plaza has a huge fishing industry, but they cap both of the c. so the international criminal court classifies using hunger as a war crime in the following ways. this is under article 8 section to be if a country or perpetrator, it deprives civilians of objects indispensable to their survival if they intended to store civilians as a method of warfare or if the actual conduct took place in an armed conflict. that turned to christian salumi christian, you're at the united nations in new york. i'm picking up on what we just saw
5:06 pm
a few minutes ago. what we just heard, rather from the un secretary general, antonio gutierrez, i am just going to was a very, very short speech. frankly, i think we're all surprised by what happened. um, i'll give the quote and then you'll tell us whether you have any of the back story and, and what it looked like to you because it appeared he was justifying himself the comments he made yesterday. the quote is, gutierrez says, it is false to say that he was justifying acts of terror by him us in his speech yesterday. what can you tell us? so this stems from his speech before the security council yesterday. and in that speech, he did condemn him, off is attack of october to 70, called for the immediate release and unconditional release of his really captives in gaza. but he also said that it was important to point out that these acts didn't
5:07 pm
happen in a vacuum that the palestinian people have suffered under occupation for 56 years. and that was seized upon by many. it was a strong statement from the secretary general, one of the strongest points he's given so far on the conflict in the middle east. and one of the strongest, some would say criticisms of israel's response. he went on to say that nothing justifies bombing hospitals or bombing civilian targets. so that was seized upon, particularly by the, as rarely delegation to the security council that as promptly announced that they were cancelling a visit with the secretary general. the foreign minister of israel was here, he was supposed to meet with the secretary general. he cancelled that visit, they called for his resignation. and so there was a lot of attacks of the secretary general saying that somehow he was defending
5:08 pm
terrorism. and so this was an attempt by the secretary general to clear that up. i should also point out that the secretary general, excuse me, went on to meet with the family members of israelis who and, and it's not just as realize that there are, i think 30 countries represented in the captives of the homos in gaza right now. but he met with some of the family members who are understandably very concerned about their, their loved ones and what's happening. and again, you know, it didn't since then on twitter has called for their release. so this is a, a bit of the backstory of what the secretary general was up against. also i, you know, it was interesting to me walking into the united nations this morning and, and obviously it's a very tense situation. and the n y p d,
5:09 pm
the new york police department has been on high alert since the conflict began in particular regarding synagogues, and so on. but i noticed a very increased security presence at the united nations this morning as well. the security barricades were up there were extra officers at the entry points in plain clothes, security and so on. so clearly this is a very tense situation and the secretary general wanted to set this to set the record straight. it's quite remarkable. i don't recall ever quite seeing something like this, kristen, while i have you, can you remind us of the, the process is currently going on at the u. n. there are multiple draft resolutions that are going to be considered. uh yeah, uh the, the, the negotiations have continued back and forth at a fever pace. we now have a 2 resolutions to draft resolutions that we expect to go to
5:10 pm
a vote in the security council this afternoon. there is one from the united states, one from russia. the main difference between the 2 is russia calling for an immediate cease fire. and the united states version calling for humanitarian pauses, if you well, of access for humanitarians to gaza. and we don't think either one is going to pass the united states would veto russia's. russia would veto the united states. so there seems to be a, a, a, a fight for the other members of the security council and particularly elected 10 members of the security council. they are and they are being lobbied for for votes on one of these resolutions. and while neither will pass fully, how the other members of the council vote, i guess,
5:11 pm
could be seen as support or a moral victory for whoever propose that resolution or it's possible. we're also hearing rumblings that they may come up with their own version and reject both. so it will be interesting to see how this plays out of kristin salumi reporting from u. n. h q in new york. thank you very much for all that context. all that reporting as well, i'm not sure of the palestinians would say that there can be any moral victory completely understand your point though, but that's a question we'll put right now to our corresponding and gaza, honey abu, you ship a, who's joining us from hon. eunice, israel's honey. thank you for standing by there. we just wanted to make sure we fully understood what was going on at the, at the un. i wonder, and this may be a completely, this may sound completely ridiculous from where you're standing. but i wonder whether or palestinians actually know about,
5:12 pm
look at care about the international diplomacy that's happening. you know, at the u. n. in other places. well as of now, palestinians are looking into actions more than words since the beginning of this massive air bombardment and, and there's dr. songs and guys are using sophisticated attacks. it's to bomb schools, public facilities, hospitals, bakeries, and recently, a shopping malls. we're looking for actions here, as people put it in words, enough words we need to action, we need an improper and logical approach to in this a termination has one doctors put at what's happening. routes. hospital is receiving the entire family members being a blood trait to complete this so the cold, it does a termination of entire population of the gaza strip. so actions are
5:13 pm
better than wards now nowadays. and then definitely waiting for, for a number one and essential elements of this would be a per minute. the human to turn in a passage to the gaza strip of we need more humanitarian, couldn't void to come in to combat the sheer amount of destruction and, and, and also to respond to the high level of needs for the palestinian people living in this a small inclement, just bear, bear in mind this guy, this trip has been under siege for of the past 16 years and i knew everything was coming together was limited. so on top of this war broke out massive attacks by air, by sea and by land at complete seas being impose no water,
5:14 pm
no electricity. busy food and the implication of this is started to appear, then baker is out of service. more than 30 hospitals, auto service, and water supplies are being cut in different parts. so we are, this is a really crisis going on, so words are enough of them. people need want to see actions of this. no, absolutely, honey, the international, a group ox. them made a calculation that gaza has only received 2 percent of the amount of food that normally comes into the gaza strip since this war began. what are people eating right now? what are they doing for food? i mean give you an example here at the hospital and of the monitoring between lives here. what people are eating, i've seen group of people sending under trees and in the car door of the hospital and they haven't eaten anything. and if they had access to some water, that would be that they would say that's enough,
5:15 pm
at least to keep us survive. so people are funding for their life peer. it's a matter of survival now, food is very scarce, is becoming very scarce. water supply, they're becoming very scarce. i went on what was the same people all over the past few days was, was bred and now with 2 major bakeries across the gust of are gone. now. yeah, we're headed to a bus tar vision of problem pretty soon. unless something happened and intervention go into to have taken place just to just reduce the level of of suffering of people here. a storm ration problem may be happening very soon. uh, honey, a ship, a. thank you so much for your reporting from don units. this our, the guitar and turkey, i have condemned israel's war on the gaza strip guitars. prime minister has called for a ceasefire as israel's non stop on boardman is taking a toll on palestinian civilians living and gaza. shake mohammed bin abdul romano. tawny also says that negotiations to release more than $200.00 is really captive
5:16 pm
held in gaza or making progress. he was speaking along side tr, case foreign minister. how come see done with visiting? don't we have seen some progress in the 1st few days with the leaves of the 1st 2 americans and then the diesel for the 2 women to 2 days ago. and then with the mediation of, of egypt as well. i think that if we compare where we start to end, where we are right now, there is some progress on some break lines. we will remain hoffman, video. sions are still ongoing. and i to any moment of time, i think that if we wouldn't be able to get along between the 2 parties, i think we will see some breaks was hopefully soon the houses the resolution. the whole bar was at the news conference into all the ministers of foreign affairs of tea and gotten a quote for an immediate and to the warning does
5:17 pm
a and to pay the way for humanitarian chloe doors warnings that the potential for a full blown confrontations that could spill in until the entire region was continue to be high, as long as there is no immediate end to the conflict. and joining me to talk more about the meeting, but to between the 2 minutes has a funny enough, as is mr. magical inside, who's the spokesperson overall tardy ministry of foreign affairs? i do understand this is going to be a sensitive issue for concern because it's being playing a key role in the host as negotiations. but we anywhere close to anything that could be conducive to a breakthrough when it comes to the hostage issue. wait a minute if goes optimistic about this process, which we started immediately as the escalation and discounts like test has begun. obviously the difficulties on the ground is difficult difficulty that always a hindrance and such a mediation between them and of course optimistic that we would be able to
5:18 pm
accomplish and loading this and do what we have seen with the lease of the tool. now i'm looking for hostages is essentially a positive sign, which we hope we can build them. so you have now the negotiations as far as the house is concerned on the weights and extremely delicate issues, very sensitive for all the boxes. but they say that the tools are ongoing with the hope of a potential, a release of the hostages diplomatically. what you can see now is that why the talks about the hostages up on the way. the authorities along with the tucks, are trying to move forward with, with a united regional funds that would push for a political supplement because the happy things that this is just one among many of the cycles that we saw in the past. what was continue to see in the future unless we have a comprehensive political supplement. there's absolutely no way with to put an end to the violence in the, in the region and in goes on. this explains why you're sold minnesota for an i fans
5:19 pm
of turkey coffee done visiting saudi arabia the united out of and that's lebanon. and, and it was at that conference in doha, turkey as foreign minister warned against a possible is really ground operation sort of come in. we are at the turning point in history. either we find a lasting peace or a world war with the break. we call for all the parties to listen to the voice of reason and those who are encouraging the crimes of use, right? you are also liable. if we do not to act fast, we will have darker days to come. meanwhile, israel's national security adviser has welcome the diplomatic intervention by guitar and a post on the social media platform x. it's actually hennick b said i am pleased to say that guitar is becoming an essential party and stakeholder and the facilitation of humanitarian solutions. guitar as diplomatic efforts are crucial at this time and into our key president richard cypert. a one has called for an immediate ceasefire. he also proposed an international conference
5:20 pm
to reach the lasting peace. the home of how much is not the total is still good, nice ation, but the group of liberators. and what do i need the fighting to protect the non tender citizens? right. a lot also addressed israel's actions in gaza, which he calls a massacre, is in the it is time to speak openly about the situation of those who turn the blind eye to hundreds of children and women. an innocent route to be made at every day by you digit demising these mess. it goes over some options that we do not find right. i don't know, but also cannot. even when you compare to these master codes of these for the war on garza is having economic repercussions beyond the strip global credit rating agency, s and p is downgrading israel's outlook from stable to negative. the firms saying that there's a risk, the war could spread across the region, resulting in a greater damage to israel's financial system and security. also a mouse has fired 2 powerful rockets towards israel is really army says one struck
5:21 pm
near the southern resort city of a lot about 220 kilometers from gaza. it's the longest range attacked by hamas since fighting broke out on october. the 7th. and the group has claimed responsibility and there are no reports of casualties thus far. is really media is reporting that another rocket exploded in mid air near the northern city of haifa. officer as theresa bo is live for us and ash dog bring us up to speed on, on what's happening where you are. and what's the latest in that part of israel? of the, well that's, it was the longest range, a row can long strip towards a swell. it had it all the way towards a lot that's around 300 kilometers away from where we are. that's a place where thousands of people have been evacuated from many of the service surrounding and gas. so this type of rockets are happening almost every day, although there's been an increase in the past few days, but they're being constantly long and being launched. force is what most of them
5:22 pm
are being intercepted in bias welfare defense system. the i wrong don't, although they can be deadly in many, many cases in the country. the other thing that thing going on here is that fitness riley army is claiming to have swelled and infiltration attempt by have mass here as well. apparently it was close to the town of thinking that's not far away from where we are. we're kind of seeing you fighters, we're trying to enter israel. so the feed, they weren't and source of pity and to a fighters were killed. the situation here on the ground is that most of the cities and villages and towns around this area have been completely evacuated. even what it looks like, the 1st stage of what could be wrong. the nation. right. teresa bow reporting there from ashton theresa. actually before i let you go, i want to ask you the latest on, not the truth build up because i believe the, the build up phase of that is done. but the head of the is really military has said
5:23 pm
essentially that they're ready and they're now waiting for the go ahead from the politicians. well, that's correct. and when you are here, that is evidence, there's hundreds of thousands of folders that have been already been deployed here . hundreds of tags of onboard vehicle for proficient switching degree, hooking towards god. but it's not clear when this ground defense it will take place . so could have been delayed because of the hostages being held in god is that also because the united states have been trying to increase the military efforts around the we joined in case of the war. but what do we have been hearing, however, is that there is any intent here that we talk to you at how that ground offensive could take face, whether it would be a massive source or it could be special forces operation. a few days ago, there was a special forces operation and gaza where one is riley soldier,
5:24 pm
was killed. so suddenly it's not clear yet what is going to happen. but this has generated tension between the government and the military. and while the minister of defense is saying that the troops are ready to go in, the government is not giving the go ahead and that in general, reading lots of pension and certainty. and specially in there such as the best ones that are close together. and that's a reasonable reporting from ash though. thank you very much. i it says below leaders has met senior officials from palestinian groups, hamas and islamic jihad to discuss the war with israel. the group has also been holding funerals for fighters killed and exchanges across the border between israel and 11 on exchanges of artillery. that is, the holder reports from beta noon in southern lebanon has been 2 weeks since hes blah. he did the call that mr. allied a pallet from us to join the fight against as well as the house taking house.
5:25 pm
we are at the funeral of one of his fighters, its last for more than 40 minutes. and more than 2 weeks of conflict along the border. this time is very different since the last 4 in 2006 between and along this way, the army this time around as well as on the offensive and hezbollah is treading carefully . it is launching attacks against new military positions from open areas. it is avoiding and is really response that's with target population centers, which leads them exposed at the same time. these really drone surveillance aircraft are in the sky over the border area all day long. now has the sense that it is in the hearts of this baffled it is not neutral, but so far, like i mentioned, the escalation along the border is very limited to reach it has the laws secretary general meeting leaders from the protestant in groups of stomachs, we've had and how much has well releasing a photo but not saying when that meeting took place and clearly giving the message
5:26 pm
that there is coordination between the groups of parts of the so called access of resistance. the biggest question is, what will hezbollah do next? it's believes that by it's uh, by targeting is where the positions along the border crossing is where the making the visuals on the army to the north so that they will not put more pressure on her mouth on the southern front. so the biggest question is, well, hezbollah joined this fight? further? will it, will it use its long range missiles? will it use the military at the moment? no. but at the same time, the x rays are, you know, threatening about that they will face unimaginable devastation if they do benefit their els was either by the level we want to take it back to gaza. we're early or our correspondent, honey, i believe ship. i spoke with one of the doctors at nasir hospital in fun. eunice,
5:27 pm
that's in the southern part of this trip to get an idea of just how dire a state the health care system is that the was kind of described. how about the situation? so i'll give you some shots. for example, in last the last night we received 301 division we received 150 can. and the last night we did a say this is, you know, section $4.00 to $1.00 and to be the one that then but just a development. we are managing the situation with some think on you do on with something instead of doing that, i would me because a lot of guidelines are not you do not think you're learning 13 day. it's like i'm not allowed. it's ben to is such a bonus about the using board as a board, which is today. i'll give you another short. young woman came with the head with severe in getting her to come in and hit it. this thing was weird outside, so she would live, she would think us, what's the name and what we did for had only we give him some discipline words. we us kids to just in. 2 and she is going to die,
5:28 pm
she and she was knowing that she is going to die within minutes and she did. so that's, this is some sort of situation. like, what do you, most of them are to see read the news about if i'm it is now the head. if i see the apartment once they see the button to to see if the news about taylor, his head adult, his daughter sorted an entire offense. i mean what the, what of them but then they are now still under the student. the home is doing on tuesday night. there's really forces killed at least 5 palestinians and raids across the occupied westbank in janine 3 people were killed and dozens wounded. an armed confrontations is really forces deployed norm drone to target a group of palestinians who they say hurled explosives at them. there were also raids in calculate in columbia. around con has more about those operations in columbia, refugee camp between 3 and 3 30 in the morning. around the he is ready. soldiers
