4:03 pm
the majority of those suffering are women and children. what was the last 2 days? what has drastically meant to dis, consumption of to. but this came out to cost out came had to make a tough decision that no human to invoke us should do. what needs more people bakeries will just ation love supervision in the hospital. all these needs fuel to function. the siege means that food for to fuel on basic commodities are being used to collectively punish more than 2000000 people among them. and majority of children and women, it also is yours, honey. my mode is inside god's in the hon. eunice of your at last or a hospital. and i understand that medical aid is being or has just been delivered.
4:04 pm
what can you tell us? well, within the past, the 30 minutes the truck sold with medical supplies just pulled into the hospital and minutes later it was directed to the storage area of the hospital in the back building of the main entrance of the hospital. what we did, we did a short walk near the storage area and my got to my surprise, it was completely empty. all of this resource and the medical supply knock because i have to be completely used. and that truck with just a drop inside that warehouse. i mean the storage area, so dr. the doctors around the truck, we did ask them about what needs to be done more did we need to see more of the the trucks just do full building needs and so stay in the hospital for the coming days . so do you know what's in the truck, do you know what they delivered? we were told that mainly uh, medical supplies,
4:05 pm
the materials and elements that are used in operation rooms as well as the sheets uh of more of a cover for bits as the whatever. uh, if the material different sheets are in the hospital are completely gone either because of the blood staying or do we're used to rob did body as because these things were very chaotic. so we're talking about the medicine. we're talking about the subject we've talked about as well as some of the needles and injections necessary in operations. do you know if this hospital is going to get more medical aid? a a with when we ask a doctor and the emergency department is indeed they, they're hoping that in the coming days then and there, there is a talk about a possible it possible pause or if possible, sees fire. he holds it that is confirmed in the coming hours the the hope to see
4:06 pm
more a truck just to at least run the other departments of the hospital. the been shut. 7 for the past few days, due to lack of medical supplies and the fuel. okay, so some of the basic, very basic medical supplies are coming in, not yet in nearly sufficient quantity, but some is coming in. i have to ask you about food. it's obviously so essential and do you see any food a coming in? do you see the effect of that, at least in the southern part of the gaza strip of what we heard from our source of the roof i crossing earlier today that there were 7 of the trucks were allowed to enter the gods took filled with food supplies, and medical supplies, but let me tell you dogs that daily needs of food supplies and medical supplies exceeds 500 the trucks. every day we're talking about 2500000 people
4:07 pm
completely dependent on the food supplies and medical supply fuel. so, but everything coming from either depressing or the commercial depressing from these really sites. it's not an industrial, inc. 5, we don't produce anything. everything has to come from outside. so in these, in the time of the crisis, we don't have enough trucks coming in, even of a 100. the truck comes every day. there's a still shortage of these basic supplies. and i, i went to mall except like throughout the day, just to buy something. and the shows of them, the shopping malls that even the smallest stores are empty. they, they don't have any of these basic stuff. right? absolutely. thank you for that reporting honey mt mood at this hour live from sun eunice inside the gaza strip for us. know philip plaza, really, who's the head of owner, why the un agency for palestinian refugees. and also said that to date,
4:08 pm
efforts to deliver humanitarian aid guys that have been largely ineffective. they have been intense, negotiation and invest, set them to provide see, to open a new venue, joining supply line sofa. it has only resulted in a handful of it to combine this with not to me, those to factor the guys out is being stronger. the people of gaza is shown lynette that unbundled of the world. food program says, 9 of its trucks have entered garza since the rough crossing was opened on saturday . but it warrens that to reach the 1000000 palestinians need 40 trucks a day need to enter gaza and the wi fi says it has provided emergency supplies of canned tuna and bred to 475000 displace palestinians in you and shelters previously 23 bakeries were feeding almost a quarter of a 1000000 people a day,
4:09 pm
but now just to our operating and their supplies are running out due to lack of fuel. the wsp says that for every person that receives assistance at least 6 more or need a beer, if this is the senior middle east spokes person for the world food program. and she describes the situation on the ground that she got the dropping in with the lack of basic supplies in c, v, a few, a short the just that's really going to threaten bringing or humanity getting operations into a whole food then water, all running out and people are facing increasing the desperate conditions and also, and also even of got the endorsed by come to the conditions of the, to the leasing every day. and food is running short. so without the additional fuel supply. and also with the why we welcome the opening of the border crossing point last week. i think the number of too many studies
4:10 pm
a because it took those inside gums up on these convoys has been really very limited. so it's a very difficult situation. the longer we are able to, to adopt, we sense so far. it is like probably less than a $100000.00 people. so that's very listen compared to the uh, you know, the size of the needs that we have is i got that. so it does work for us to be able to provide assistance to people in government to scale up a patient to provide for the for 1000000 people. we need 40 trucks of wi fi for want to enter every day to this one, the costing point. so we definitely, it's not enough. we need more uh, you know, for the opening we need much more, you know, these trucks that needs to be scaled up. it needs to be much, many, many more than the 20 trucks of every day. if there's been a barrage of rockets fired from the gaza strip into tele, vive, how moss has claimed responsibility for the rocket attack. just seeing the effect
4:11 pm
of that attack right now, hold on bill. how many joins us from ramallah, where demonstrations have also been taking place. we'll talk about that in a moment of that. but 1st, let's talk about what happened in tel aviv. we just saw a residential building being struck. what can you tell us? what broke it, fired is ongoing on a daily basis, certainly as in a less of an intensity then at the early stages of this war. now, as you said, there was a rise of rock is fired towards the area of to live even northern israel. most of the, intercepted by the are in the system, but one of them did sneak through and hit the residential building is really police says that 3 people were lightly injured in that. and they, after that they had quoted in the area just blew up operations. but it seems that the things have gone back to normal. okay, tell me also don't know about the those rallies that we seen in the occupied
4:12 pm
westbank today. i have seen a bit of riley's old over the occupied west bank in the major cities here earlier in ramallah, a few 100 people were on the streets. john king, in support of. uh guys, i sold a diety of the people of guys sometimes also turned in the directory of the cars that brigade being the military wing of high miles. but i would have to say that most of the protesters were carrying a palestinian fat flag, rather than usually they carry the factions flag either 5 to how, how boss, or any other fax it. but this is they making a point to carry the palestinian flag mainly to show that this was a time where they actually the people at least stand united. now you see the so yeah, you have 5 also similar protests a bit all over. as i said, the high, broad nablus, janine,
4:13 pm
but what happens here are across the occupied was back is because of the difficulty of moving from one or been area to the other because of the check points. because since the war started also have road closures. and of areas of actually people come, come in and out. what you will see is rather than a big demonstration that you've seen the other capitals happening at the moment, you receive all these different small ones in different areas. some of them turn into clashes with these really are me the been a few classes in bet lab here north of ramallah and in nablus a not many wounded but by large. what i heard from a lot of mothers specifically is that they were very worried because the rules of engagement for the is really, is have changed. this really are we said that or loves the out when it comes to the occupied was bag. so people are afraid of this color of these classes and especially parents because it was mainly used because as well is using more and
4:14 pm
more live, i mean, nation against stone stores. so i think because this is actually the lack of people on the street and the lack of glasses, this is an indication about how tensed the situation is here and how people are really scared of the days ahead of the zeros hold the bill. how made reporting from ramallah? thank you very much for that. they've also been rallies across cities in the middle east, in support of palestinians and yemen. thousands have gathered in the northern city of marine and in the capital. so now they are condemning israel's war on guns and the killing of civilians in jordan. no crowds are rallying in the capital a month, many a waiting policy in flags and denouncing israel's attacks on does a position to bring you some breaking news down to 0. sources say that there are a negotiations going on right now. mediated by guitar on a ceasefire. and prisoner exchange deal, that would be
4:15 pm
a deal for an exchange of prisoners between homos and israel. abraham for a house is associate professor of conflict resolution of the doha institute. it's good to have you with us on set to discuss this. if this happens is still a big if at this stage negotiations ongoing. but if this happens, they would obviously be major. it would be a huge break. so depending however, on the terms of the seas fired, and for how long is it going to be a humanitarian sees volume, is it going to be a 10 parentheses flat is going to be an end of this war. so this we don't know yet . and we don't have the noise, an oil, but what we know, however, i'll, uh, i'll add a little something these negotiations can be characterized right now where we have to be careful with the words we use based on the sourcing and everything that they can be described as progressing the negotiations are progressing and they're currently at an advanced stage. exactly no matter what the terms are. it's still
4:16 pm
a huge break. so because we know that that has been a very strong cause, like any of the addiction to any sort of caesar. even the humanitarians, he's fine, even the international community, the opium union, use of the main thing was quoting, for a human opinion is but, and there with a bit shy of even saying that. so there isn't any serious oppression on his way of, of the, from the european union. and we know that the us has said several days now that a ceasefire and their view would benefit from us. and that's why the us has been against one exactly. but nevertheless, as the united states, also the so concerned about the they show of the prisoners of the that as the, the, is the way it is with, with us. and this is an important factor for the domestic level in the united states. and that's, let's keep in mind that the best buy in the us and in israel. yes, exactly. let's keep in mind that the us at the station by then is approaching a new eviction as soon. so this is the domestic fact that is very crucial. as for
4:17 pm
the united states, so that has been some push out of from the us to on these items to delay the ground . they'll patient in order to release the hostages on that level. but uh, we have seen some of that impact actually, though we don't the reasons why is why i'm has not been uh, conducting the gun promotions. if one of the exposure is about them, scale of the business. and so what this, what happened and the impact on the, again, those like the domestic level for that is why they give them. but the, sorry, go ahead. yeah. but again, let's keep in mind that this is an important development. this is a huge, broken back. so even for a short battle, but then we need to know if this is going to continue to be a temporary not going to benefit him as a lot. is going extra to benefit the us. that is going to benefit as well. because
4:18 pm
this will give as well a free hand is to conduct more ground operations or a photo along with there are 2 things right that are being discussed. one is to cease fire. one is a potential prisoner exchange. now to cease fire, we would have to know when we don't at this stage whether again, it's temporary or permanent, would it be the 1st step towards ending the bombardment and then some, some resolution to this conflict that we just don't know. that's still a question mark. the other thing that is being discussed as a potential prisoner exchange. again, there's a lot of information we don't have, but there's a lot of context that's important in that we do have when, after how most carried out is operation. on october 7th, there were statements from us saying we have enough captives to free all the palestinians in the is really jails. we know that, you know, these things have happened before with collage or late. he was held captive for 5 years. and when he was in his really sold, we could actually, when he was released, that was he was released and exchange for more than
4:19 pm
a 1000 pounds. is that correct prisoners? yeah, i think it's in my own analysis. it's phil adelaide to talk about a prisoner's exchange. okay? because this is going to take a long time. there are 6000 approximately 6000 policy them prisoners in his lady jail. so how has announced many times that the time is not pipe. now the photo preserves exchange, no prisoners exchange will happen before the end of the is all a war on gals though. so i, that's what are these 2 things the link, the ceasefire, a new and executive of the prisoners. so i think we are, was talking probably more likely on some, some sort of an exchange with the civilian hostages with how boss not that because there are 2 types of positives with how about civilians and military. so there is
4:20 pm
highlight, military is why the military officials are captives with, with how about us at the moment also. so probably at this moment we are talking about seas via the, along with the uh, civilians, hostages with how much more than a tooth and prism. i was like strange because this is, would still be a huge just the is like it has many, many, many vetoes on the leasing uh, you know, policy and a person that has um you know, with, for the number of like 10000, the 6000 sorted 6000 business. so again, let's hope that that is going to be a ceasefire. it's not going to be temporary. and it's going to take some time, you know, for this that something can be built on such even if it's temporarily, again, i think it's still a good progress because some, something can be built on late that. and also let's keep in mind that the developments in that asian must have a month helping the united states. so there are some sort of developments
4:21 pm
instability taking place in syria. and then again, somebody again, how many components are usually the white original context is something that might, that might play into these negotiations. of course, of course, this is the major push out a point on the us as an explanation that the glass of the center does not meet. it's so clear from day one does not have 5 on that you a slot of judge. and that is, you can blush, i try and it's not this war 9 for that reason. the u. s. finding itself is being pulled into this right. they are then held, they felt compelled to send to aircraft. carriers are just going to remind our viewers of this information on how to 0, that there are negotiations go going on right now at an advance level, mediated by could tar this on a ceasefire in gaza, and a potential exchange deal for prisoners between our mazda and israel, that's what we can report at this hour. it is $1321.00 g m t a. thank you very much it,
4:22 pm
brian. i'm afraid that will speak to you again. at least for palestinians were killed by these really army in the occupied westbank. on thursday night there had been confrontations between palestinians fighters and is really soldiers conducting raids. videos, circulating online show is really forces storming the city of janine. and we're on con, was there to look at the optimal to the right begun around 1 o'clock in the morning . these ready, all mean heavy on the vehicles about 40 to 50 of them came down that road that they came down the road on stood on. um and they started trying to shoot their way into the camp. now what you can see in the foreground is a burial site. gravy on that graveyard was actually set up in july. i already has 15. people buried that right now, now of the, the shooting was over. they actually brought in
4:23 pm
a heavily on the boulders. it's worth just showing you what they did. it's difficult to try and understand what they achieved. lane they achieved by digging up this road. if they wanted to cut off the water supply to the camp, they're off for easier ways of doing it. bringing in heavily on the bulldozer defending the boulders as well as that goes up the road and digs everything up. now in the right itself. uh, 3 palestinians were killed. one of them was a senior leader of the team janine battalion. now the janine battalion didn't move into the camp. they didn't come here. they from the cap itself. they've grown up resisting occupational a roy that they have on the international law. there's been 3 raids of this camp. one of them involved a drone about drunk as a drawing. we've been hearing the overhead. but when i joy attention now, to this sewing over here,
4:24 pm
this was the palestinians trying to help out the residence of janine refugee counselor, actually building a right the rehabilitation paving of internal roads engineering compton. in dublin, they say the time of the project is a $120.00 days will clearly, if these really is keeping up the roads, that's gonna take a lot longer. so the palestinians, they're trying to build some roads trying to make the life of the people living in the camp. slowly easy of these right is of decided that they want to rip up those roads and the palestinians tell us this is simply harassment of the ordinary people living within the camp. it won't come out. is there a janine refuge account? we want to bring in the houses here as moran bush or our senior political analyst, this our moran, you're joining us from london and we are in a position to report this breaking news that there are ongoing negotiations. you've heard this and mediated bike a tar between homeless and israel onto things and they may well be connected. one is a ceasefire, and the other is
4:25 pm
a potential exchange of prisoners between both sides. the language i have for you at this hour is that the negotiations or described as progressing and at an advanced stage, as i was saying to bring him a moment ago. if, if this does happen, if there is a breakthrough in these negotiations, then this could be a turning point, couldn't in the conflict, but to pass. but certainly there has been progress that there has been some reasons for the progress that we've seen the signs where these rays have spoken about the rent it is to pay the price for the release of the cap, diesel and send the hostages. and there is, of course, america, concern of for the last invasion because it might have been compromised. pretty particular mediation that is going on has that same part, right? but i imagine it has been delayed. and of course, as we all know,
4:26 pm
that there has been, you know, quite a persistence part. i didn't quite successful somehow in the last few days of releasing for hostages. and now what tension more cost is to be released. but yes, if we're talking about dozens. busy captives released assets and they're going to have a price, how much to choose. i've spoken about this one and they said that it's going to be a fit for you. you really sausages and we sausages, you accept se fire sign and all the signs are there that something good views on this from i think there's really public opinion target medicine, public opinion slide behind it and see even the question that clearly there's, are me assign. uh, more than anything, what a ceasefire. so you know, all the factors, all the talk. so why don't we some that's really interesting. i want to break down the dots a little bit. you were pointing to multiple things be as really,
4:27 pm
as have said that they are willing to pay a price to get uh, to get their people back right to get the people who would take them by him off. and you're saying also that the us is concerned about a land and vision. those 2, those 2 forces, it would seem a really strong forces that are helping to shape this mediation because this real doesn't want to lose. it's kept as no more than any more than the us does and they have captives also in the goddess trip. absolutely, i also remember the news the past few days. how reliable they are. ready news about captives, a big huge step in these really big part us. and we've just seen a horn and these really huge se bart, my a, the says the is right on the saw one for that innovation has just come down from 69 percent to 29 percent smoking because of that question of the hostages, the gods. so in a way,
4:28 pm
or these are the probably just more that ready to hold off on the invasion if there's something to be done about that it is past. and just as you start to think a person by do was very clear about that, that then there's money to rush to an invasion. it seems to question the hostages to be resolved as well. but as you said earlier in your question, and i think that's important. so this could not be just anything as far as the polls or he went to a window. this is just gonna be just a question of early sausages. in order for us to founding guys that indiscriminately on our f c a seventy's. and that's i think where the company is called because they have been credible mediators in this. and since they are supported by the united states and other western powers, as well as by various parties in order to do exactly that,
4:29 pm
the minus mediator, whereby it is right is on her last what for say, all right, there organizations, any of the subsidy. so it's going to be that there's a one at least by the same all in order for this to happen. for this to happen, they're going to have to be a recent capt. there's a, there's that has to be some serious ceasefire more one. shortly after the october, the october 7th attacked by hamas and israel come us said we have enough captives to release all palestinian prisoners. there are about $6000.00 plus palestinian prisoners and is really jails. do you think that's even in place? something like that. we're leasing all palestinians that are in his really jails. it was the also from some of those uh, family members and relatives to is there any hostages that they were talking about why they want to see that? is there
4:30 pm
a release the saw the children have yeah. and is there any jewels and the women on so on the turn for really some more and more of the captives and guys. so there's again, there's all the pressure is ready for me. pressure towards the and i think this because the water more serious with your understand is really bombings are not just cities proceeding as well, but that should be, are also can be, is raised. now, you know, after, after a more than 2 weeks. so just because there's something also going to keep on that for because the line, so i've seen so many times as you know, that's important on the lice side. but i seen you guys are the people that started off, you know, when, so i was a senior, this died in discovery bombing with thousands of testing is saying that deals most
4:31 pm
of the menu. okay. and the top charges for under, administered essentially. you said you did not gone through the course when these are, it has just uh churches in prisons, more than more than a 1000, almost 2 thousands. but i sent you some that was just use to people from their homes and putting them in prisons. some of the in culture and somebody to go to buy these or something. there's something to do on that front too because just the focus is ready to start. but we need to keep an eye to be fair or embarrassing. and sometimes the most is the day by i'm going jim, sorry, in the context that's very particular, but it's important to speak about the ceasefire. yes. if need be released, always ready to send me prisoners, especially the children or others,
4:32 pm
or you've been charged with any for him. now sure 0 is a senior political analyst, more one the shower. that's what we can say. at this hour, 1331 gmc on these ongoing negotiations mediated by guitar between hum us and israel, more one. thank you very much. multiple fires have been seen on levels border with israel. the united nations enter in force and living on says that they are burning near mine fields. they are caused by fighting between the israeli army and the lebanese armed group as belong. you and fire fighters are at the scene. israel's military says at least 7 soldiers have been killed. ali hush and joins us live from the cora in southern lebanon. at least not the 1st time. we see this, you and i have talked about this before. it was in a different locality the 1st time, but we see a fire that is caused by the finding whether it's intentional or not. i will let you explain as well. in fact, this situation, whereas the bushes surrounding the border between them in a,
4:33 pm
as well as burning. this has been going on for some time, even since the beginning of these uh, the skirmishes, if its right to say. now, over the past few days, there was a constant is really showing of the board and this caused a lot of bushes, a blazing and unbuttoning. and this extend it from the west and sector. and from here in a court where we are 2 of the center of the sector and the a lot of times after the city, we bought it on this, the attempts what the needs. so for the civil defense for says to put a, the, to, to stop the fires. but they didn't have actually, the, the, the, the enough chose to do that. they ask the united nations to contribute. now living on doesn't have enough helicopters, it doesn't have enough equipments. to face such situation now today,
4:34 pm
just after the firefight, those with able to set down the fires is red. once again, she hits the open areas and that with respect to today because we have to put it into, into a context yesterday was a calm day actually from has about la side to day. we've witnessed the moment that on 3 attacks from has will up on his ready metric positions, including the positions behind me and this red retaliated by hitting the open areas of the house and reporting from the israel 11 on board. or thank you very much of the but it was thing else, a 0 reminder of our headlines this our, the humanitarian situation spell is c, as in gauze is getting worse, almost half of the hospitals have been forced to close. there's been more bombing and civilian areas in the united nations is born to nowhere in gaza. states. hundreds of palestinians are rallying in ramallah to show support for gaza. they
4:35 pm
are denouncing these really siege on the strip and continued raids in the occupied west bank at least for palestinians were killed by the israeli army and the occupied west bank on thursday nights videos. circulating online show is really forces storming the city of jeanine and confrontations between the soldiers and palestinian fighters. the health ministry says is really forces of killed at least a 108 palestinians in the west bank in the past 3 weeks. these really army has prevented worshippers from gathering ahead of friday prayers that locks and mosque in occupied east jerusalem. allan fisher is there, you know, occupied the east jerusalem. and he describes how difficult it is for palestinians to enter the most compound, to pray as well. if you look over the compound of all x, normally on a friday you get somewhere in the region of 40 to 60000 people coming prison over for the day. so it was quite empty. but there was only 5000 people there today. and
4:36 pm
the reason for that is in westbank times that up locates so the police are stopping people getting anywhere near here and then around the city itself. it's very difficult for anyone to get close to the mosque. the we thought that maybe just young people were being discoveries, but pictures from inside the city on one of the ways leading to the most men in their fifties, the 60s to seventies. they've been pushed away by the police telling them to know getting to the most to date. and why did use just up the road to you not far from lions gate, where many people in new york you pied westbank and occupied east. jerusalem would make their way to pre i'll access the road was blocked, and the police pushed people back the use stun grenades in the use salt water which makes you a close thing. and they even use some tear gas in the end. the young man who was in the group and there were mainly young men backed off and they just prayed in the street. it was very difficult for them to get anywhere near. and we spoke to a couple of young men who were here. we tried to go last week, but we decided not to both of this week because it was just too difficult. and that
4:37 pm
will be the view of many people around to, you know, we know that the all x a component is controlled by jordan to have control over under international treaties. but really, access is controlled by these really see decide who can come in and who can come out and not makes things very difficult for people. it discourages them as a reminder to the power studies who's really in control. even if it's just something really simple to go and pray or something really important to go and pray all it for sure. i'll just do it. ok. part east jerusalem. according to the palestinian health ministry and gaza $7326.00 palestinians have been killed since the bombardments on gaza began on october the 7th. but this number has been called into question by the president of the united states, joe biden, who says that he has, quote, no confidence in the number. in response to the guns, a base, the ministry of health has released the full list of those were killed with each person's id number that includes the $3038.00 children who were killed.
4:38 pm
the n g o, the 8 organization human rights watch says that the ministry is number reflects the level of attacks that have occurred and that their numbers in the past have proven accurate. let's talk to omar, shakira. you are israel and palestine director at human rights once you're joining us from chicago on this. so the numbers can they be relied upon to? yes, human rights, lots has been doing work on the occupied policy in territory for more than 3 decades. we've covered multiple around possibilities and gaza and we've always found the numbers from the guys, the health ministry to be generally reliable. when we've done our own independent verification of particular stripes. the numbers have been generally consistent with no major deviations. and the reason for that is primarily methodological, the gods, the health minister, he has access to data for more x and hospitals that simply aren't available to others. and that's why the u. n. osha, that's why the us state department,
4:39 pm
that's why human rights watch uses those numbers and situations like now what we can independently verifying. i would add that what we're seeing based on the scale of devastation being rod on gaza based on the satellite imagery videos, interviews were doing suggests of the death phone numbers that they're producing are in line with what you would expect with this intense sort of environment in a very densely populated area, brandon, but ultimately just yesterday publish their numbers. but here's the, here's the counter argument, which is a, as you said, because the health ministry has more information than anyone else on what's happening. and god's intuitively, that makes a lot of sense. the counter argument for somebody who wants to be skeptical of those numbers is that they have a very high incentive to inflate the numbers right. some people have said that it could be to draw sympathy for political reasons. what do you answer to that is our answer that is, we've been documenting this for many years. we've seen no evidence that that god's
4:40 pm
health ministry's ever engaged in that sort of conduct. they get their information directly from hospitals that the casualty numbers are distinct from statements that are issued by ministers. even the health minister of the numbers are obtained through a process of information, the collection that we've generally found to be reliable. and i think the most important point here is all this time we're spending debating debt accounts and death tools. the bodies continue to pile up and the focus for leaders really needs to be preventing further mass atrocities, not quibbling over numbers. were those experts, virtually everybody who's worked in gaza knows that these numbers are reliable. and again, just yesterday, the gods, the health ministry publish the names the ages. yeah. what do you make of every document the claim to the no. i think that the, again, we haven't verified every bit of that document, but it is a test of the methodology that i laid out, which is how they collect their information directly from sort medical sources for more exec cetera. so we haven't gone through the list entirely is consistent with
4:41 pm
the sort of credibility that we've generally found from their figures and we use it again. we do this around the world. this isn't the only conflict arm conflict area we work in. when government figures are generally reliable, we cite them again, we list the source and we haven't independently verified when they're wildly inaccurate. we don't cite them. and the goal is to help them industries figures we've got to be generally reliable. yeah, and look, that's actually really useful information to know that you do this or the reminder of you, or is that a, a group like human rights watch? does this for conflicts around the world? not just because it's so here experienced then you're well practiced. this is there any reason from what you've looked at inside guys, and i know you've looked at open source evidence like satellite images, etc. is there any reason why this time would be any different than the numbers coming out of the guys that health industry would be any less reliable than the found them to be in the past? as there is no indication that we've seen or come across, that would cause us to believe that there are general approach that we found to be
4:42 pm
reliable in the past is not being used right now. let's be clear. hospital systems . everybody's under unprecedented strain without electricity, without water, without medical supplies, you know, with this scale killing that's taking place. but the indications that we've received as well as the end of the list that was published yesterday and how we know they're doing their work indicates that they're continuing to follow the very same methodology. so we do look at that number for overall casualty numbers as well as those for women and children killed. we don't look at it for attribution, whether it's an israeli air strike or a misfired rocket. you know, we use the injury numbers less frequently because there are different definitions to what's an injuries. so, you know, there are some ways in which and we distinguish between statements and the casualty accounts. so, you know, i, i like any source, you should look at it for what it is, but when it comes to their overall number of killings and the numbers of kids and women, we believe it to be generally reliable. and one thing we don't know in the number of people killed is how many were civilians versus how many were fighters? presumably there's just no way to tell. and that's not information that the health industry gets involved with. i don't think that's exactly right. the health
4:43 pm
ministry does not go into a detailed international manager in law analysis of whether somebody is a civilian or combat. and that's the kind of work that's made for human rights organizations. you any more crimes investigators and these really government is blocking access to during the listening to everybody else they've been doing. so for years for human rights, what we've been allowed in ones or 4 in stats since 2008. so that's the kind of work that can't be done today given the blocked access to the gaza strip. but that's exactly the sort of thing that we do in our investigations. and by the way, we, over many years that is really air strikes that are on model that are not to war crimes that intentionally targets the 1000000 objects that are disproportionate, that are indiscriminate. and, you know, we documented that, but you know, obviously it's, it's limited in a situation like this where i guess to the actually the side of strikes is being blog. oh, more secure and thank you very much. i think this has been really informative. it's something we want to address because whether it's us or other sources of news, we rely on these numbers. we cite the numbers, of course we attribute the source,
4:44 pm
but there is a question that was raised by the us president of whether they are reliable. it's interesting to know that you have been covering conflicts in gaza for a long time. you cite them, you have found them to be reliable that you insights them and has found them to be reliable. and, and it's been an interesting conversation. thank you for all that insight on. thank you. or a group of protests is gathered outside the foreign office in london on friday, calling to protect children in guns, many place teddy beers at the gates of the ministry. over $3000.00 pallets and children had been killed since the start of the conflict. ne barker was outside the foreign office in london. this is touching so, so as assy outside of foreign office team in london, living in a sense of died and gaza times the west bank base of the west and government followed by western government continues to offer its unequivocal support for israel. but nevertheless,
4:45 pm
public opinion is most certainly shifting and legal opinion is also more than $250.00 all the countries leading lawyers. so we're talking about incredibly senior kings counselors or senior judges. so tabled an open letter to the government didn't want his time to amount to legal advice whether the government wants it or not. and then not legit advise these 3 things. firstly and unconditional ccr as opposed to humanitarian pause, that the british government ends the sale of weapons to israel. and thirdly, the government avoids running the risk of reaching the geneva convention what aging and a blessing a government that in the lawyers opinion, is openly and breach. of global humanitarian law. what is clear is that the benjamin netanyahu government needs the moral. i'm military support of the west. but as these protest isn't of it, as opposed to the war across the continent. inundated with images with a daily trauma in gulf where there is
4:46 pm
a widening gulf between whatever benjamin netanyahu was military objectives. oh, and perhaps the willingness of western governments to support him. the bulk of which is 0 funds of the us, as long as the strikes on iran, lynx facilities in eastern syria. the pentagon says that the strikes were near the town abo kamala and targeted a weapons and ammunition storage facilities used by runs revolution regard or white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare joins us live for more on this. kimberly tell us what we're looking at it and, and also how this fits into the context of the gaza, or as well where you were getting a sense that something was imminent. all week we were hearing this not only from the pentagon but also from the white house, but given that there had been a tax on us personnel, is that there were likely to be some sort of response by the united states. but we didn't have an idea of when,
4:47 pm
so we were getting indications that it would be at the time and place of the united states choosing. given there had been this drone and missile attacks on us spaces and personnel in syria. so the president did direct for those strikes to take place and lord austin, the defense secretary, said that the message essentially that is being sent from this response is that the us will not tolerate attacks of its infrastructure. but the question you're asking me is why now given the fact that we have this conflict between israel and her boss in the war and gaza? well, the reason that this is happening in the u. s. has been very careful to say that this is a no way connected, but what they're saying is that they're worried about a broader escalation. and so what they're trying to do, and the desire of the white house is to really hit a run back groups. and essentially any group that might be emboldened. c by at a run back to group like mosse,
4:48 pm
for example. so what they're trying to do is essentially say, look at, if you are backed by a ron or any group, this backfire rod and you're seeing a mosque that is another group, backed by a rod. and you're getting the idea that this is the time to act don't. and so that's really the message that the united states has said that deterrence and also contain them. and they don't want to see a broader regional escalation houses. there is white house correspondent, kimberly how can thank you very much for that. kimberly. the representatives from homeless and iran are currently in moscow. so meetings with the russian officials they are believed to be discussing a possible release of some of the $229.00 captives being held in gaza. you're a shop of all of a is also is yours correspondents. in moscow, she gave us this update where i guessing the latest results from the crowd in presidential pipes parsons with your best cold,
