cultures across the world. so no matter when you call home, we offer you the news in car into trash that matter to you on prompted and uninterrupted discussions from our london broadcast center on out june 0, the israel pounds, the goal is to strip in its latest bombardment since the will began 3 weeks ago, the i'm on the inside, this is out. is there a life and day or so coming on? overwhelmed hospitals in gauze. the push to breaking point, his phone and internet services collapse across his trip. round finding intensifies in move and gauze where the arms wing,

that's how my says it's fine. anti tank missiles is rarely forces the un general assembly over whelming a pos is a resolution cooling, a jewel voice, monetary entries, despite us objections, the goal is to strip has been subjected to its largest is riley bombardments since the stones of the war and october, the 7th communication network. so old down as well, has been booming residential areas in the north and the center. the strip united nation says civil order has collapsed. israel says ground forces will expand, operations. bank has a very nicest every night brings death and destruction. but this night is different. cut off from the outside world with phone and internet lines stand. the

unrelenting strikes and the amber flies wants to cause. the sky line. already plunged into darkness not posting is, cannot communicate with each other for the emergency services learn. gaddy now now a catastrophe added to the crisis. dependent seems a going through with the complete blackout means you don't know what's going on. nobody knows not the medics. we have lots total communication between alexa hospital and the minister of health record in the world for the quick solution to intervene and stuff. this mexico palestinians can see the strikes raining done on the population already struggling with the lack of food, water and electricity. some fuel was as yet to come on for all of this difficulty in disseminating the picture of what's happening in the north. because the strip that's resulted in us not being able to show the massacre that is taking place right now by the is really occupies corner the mastic has taken place in northern cancer. i love the flu cold as you can hear another attack next to the indian

nation hospital and then is it i did a now another attack across, i mean the nation hospital this radio and me says they will be expanding grand operations. i know you've written this cut to the sand of clashes between these radios and how much flights is in northern garza and how much is still able to fire rockets towards israel and what they say. i do 10. can we solve for the population of gaza? the morning that follows is when the assess the damage, meaning that will wondering if they will live to see it. i said bake just 0. sorry, i assume it has more now from county units in southern garza. the attacks on the gauze is trent continued during the last couple of hours. it has been massively intensifying to tearing different during the last hour in different areas in different sites. sites in the besieged territory, starting from central air. is that because this trip is specifically and is there

any, any for who the eastern area of this district has been massively been bought just by the use when elementary, in order to make public council for the use of the ground troops who are trying to make a limit to the ground inclusion to the, to the region. also, the eastern area is a big town on town. what the semester of the trashes we pounds thing you want me to is and they used to have 2 patients. horses. these clashes could be clearly over hate and the from the a northern areas of the deceased territory is there any attacks also continued to be carried out in different areas in the eastern uh, $86.00 to open range refuge account. but the majority of eastern areas of the gaza strip, specifically for in the north and the central areas. because it it to be as up till field for the israeli and palestinian troops, who having collections from time to another as is very ongoing strikes, hit difference as tight signature treat also the it's very occupation forces that attacked the surrounding areas of the hospital. they had been targeting different

places and different residents in houses close and adjacent to she felt hosp. it's an, a 3 story building, closer was level the grounds in that region. another apartment took place in the most of the gaza strip, specifically near the end of the ship hospital, which considered to be one of the main central hospitals in the nose. because as trip earlier we spoke to how much the spokesman or some of having done. he said there was heavy financing near the israel gauze and border as the letter to him or the heavy bombardment across the border line. especially in the eastern side of the city. and the north, i'm now even extended to the eastern in the central area of the country where we are staying. i am standing on the top of my building where i'm staying god, i could see the flushes of the, uh, the activity. uh,

it was blowing up across the border line. we received a statement from the deck assembly gives the military lingo, panos, saying that the classes are taking place at 3 different places or locations across the border line. one is an east of olive oil range, which is in the central area of the gods trip. and the other 2 in east of, of does the city. and in the gaza strip, they said that the, the, in the back of the collages are the most silent in terms of using different kind of repose in this exchange. you file this of a witnesses so for from the law of a also say that i have been bombarding a crowd near the ignition hospital and the amount of they go to sleep on there was another, a strike meals out of sheep. the hospital in got to see the one that was written

that i is when they also showed up from uh, guffy, uh, some pictures of uh so yeah, no, uh that's how much leaders are staying on the tunnel on the, on the she for her so, so we don't know if this of them but didn't get on the ship. a hospital was kind of warning or of an expansion to the ongoing goods that are really a exec uh, and that had been intensifying in god the city. and. and that also because there was another alias, like, let's say a lot, a lot of these are say politically from what is going on or across the border line in terms of the limited. is there a corporation and the extent you find out or would be in the fighting groups undergoing? so that is really tough also being coming out of strife and olive or age and looks like in the central area of goods on the i'm,

the lenses cannot reach these people because they how they are unable to receive phone calls. tuesdays are either got disconnected or cut out all the internet and telecommunications. that means well, the spokesman for the is rodney ami said they would expand the ground operations in garza on friday nights. maybe just let people in addition to the talks that we carried out to me recent days before the ground forces are expanding, direct and save. you take this evening. the idea is acting with great falls on all levels to achieve the objectives of the wall. and i thought, let's get more with that. the abraham has in ramallah for us. neither do we know any more about on going ground battles that are going on in gaza. and there's little we can report on that front as the news that are coming from gauze are very, very minimal after, because a went into darkness with no communications,

no phones, no internet's connections. palestinians here also outside of garza and else with feel that they're also being kept in the dark about what's going on. they, they can't check on their friends on their loved ones and the family members to check if they will live or not. so as you can imagine, people are still in gaza trying to get the image out to the world. but so for, we have minimal information about what's going on at the board there after these really forces of announced that they're expanding the ground invasion in the besieged because of the trip. now, after that we've been seeing heavy or you had bombardments, being dark, directed towards posted ends in gaza. it's been considered heavy as night of compartment in gaza as palestinians are finding. it's also difficult to reach the ambulances and ask for help. so basically we're looking at a difficult seen and we've been hearing remarks from these ready for administer.

and these way the buses are at the when referring to the un general assembly is resolution which is non binding. but basically calling for a seeds fire. they were saying that this is not the time they believe that the un has lost its legitimacy by calling for a ceasefire, saying that they will continue to illuminate how mass we've been hearing a rhetoric of comparing him asked nazis in isis. they were saying that the un is not defending them against the nazis. of course, how masses something much, much different, and uh far away from being either isis or not sees. but this is the rhetoric that these really have been pushing for anita attentions also running high where you all in the west bank took us through the nice lines as well. the israeli forces have rated the july zone refugee camp with they demolished the home of

a palestinian prisoner who has been arrested recently and is believed to have been affiliated with how mass. now, it's not uncommon that is really forces demolish the houses of prisoners. but people here believe that because he built in an area that is usually a no permits are given for that israel has kind of like found the way to demolish the home under the pretext of illegal building. basically, those permits are rarely given to palestinians, but it's seen here as a way to kind of put pressure on palestinians was showing any sympathy or support for it have months. now. palestinians in the occupied westbank have been a gathering and grooves in city centers. mindy and have grown and to boss annapolis, basically praying the don't prayer in the middle of the street saying that they're in waged by what's happening to their fellow palestinians and gaza. and that they want to show the anger. and there's

a sentiment here amongst frost it is that they're left alone bottling one of the strongest armies in the world. thank you for that update need to abraham that for us in ramallah. now several roll kits have also been fired from guns and ask alone in southern israel rockets, incentive head buildings in the city. many people living in ashville on have already left off to being told to evacuate by the on the that's get move with the move in. rabbani is co editor of john aliya, which is a web magazine, specializing in the release. he joins us now for montreal. thank you for your time . let's start with this un general assembly vote that need to abraham mention cooling for an immediate humanitarian, sci fi and gaza. and how significant do you think it is given that it is non binding and it's unlikely to make any difference on the ground in gaza. i think it's quite significant in showing the good growing contrast

between the international community on the one hand and the united states on, on the other of the pre eminent posted in the story. and what do you, that, how did, he has done a quick analysis of, of the volt and shows quite clearly that not a single african, not a single asian, only to latin american governments, voted against this resolution. and the u. s. and the few minor european countries along with several sinking south pacific islands, we're really the only ones who oppose this resolution. and it also shows, i think, you know, this is in a way, the death knell of, of the so called rules based international order. because it shows quite clearly the fundamental hypocrisy and the stain for international law and rules of

international conduct that forms the core of what is being marketed as a rule based international order. where, where the internet access and the phone network has now completely cuts been costs across the goals and strip as a friday. how much was, is this going to make the situation on the ground? and i think this is the question we need to ask is why with israel bmw posing a blackout on the gaza strip that is not affecting the communications abilities of pulse to the military. lions is real imposing these medieval seeds tactics that affect how sitting in society in the gaza strip, but not how most of the other. quite clearly, it is because this rule has made clear over and over again that it makes no distinction between the tossing an arm to groups and the civilian population. israel has a long record of attacking civilian populations when it doesn't have the military

options against our groups. it is confronting and quite clearly there are on speak of crimes being committed as we speak of the israel does not want the world and the world's media to see what when, how do you think of our countries in the region uh, watching the situation in gauze uh, i mean, for example, saudi arabia, we've seen a lot of statements condemning what's going on that, but could that turn into more significant action? and it could, and i think this was speaking specifically about governments as, as distinct from the general public. i think they were extremely concerned. they're extremely concerned about a, for the regional escalation of, of what's going on now. something that could affect them directly. they were extremely concerned about instability domestically because of the growing mass

demonstrations against um, israel's bloodletting and the gaza strip. and they're also extremely concerned that their relationships with the west, particularly the united states. but also the european union are going to be strange because of the unqualified western support of israel's attack on, on the policy and people. so they have a variety of reasons to be increasingly worried about the potential ramifications for the domestically about what's going on. moving rabbani malays down list, co edits of jelia, a web magazine, specializing in the police. thank you. thank you. the united nations general assembly, as we've been hearing, has approved a non binding resolution. quoting for humanitarian interest in gauze, i had post overwhelmingly with a 120 votes and 45 extensions. 14 countries opposed including israel,

and the us gabriel l. as on to as well, to the us ambassador addressing the united nations general assembly. thank you, mr. president. during a meeting calling for humanitarian truce between israel using palestinians, and at almost exactly the same moment is real began some of its most intense bombardments of gaza. it's unclear of israel time to that and the subsequent blackout of gaza to coincide with the un meeting at that meeting and amendments sponsored by canada in the us that would have added language condemning how much was voted down a draft resolution. but the 193 member general assembly passed the main resolution is adopted, authored by jordan and the era group. it calls for an immediate truce release of all civilians and uninhibited flow of humanitarian supplies into guys of the

us was the only major world power that voted against it. but even with the overwhelming support, it's unlikely the resolution will mean an end to the war resolutions adopted in the general assembly or non binding. meaning israel can just ignore it without many repercussions, as they've done in the past. never the less the palestinian ambassadors spoke after the vote was taken and he said is real should be held accountable because the world has spoken, the general assembly prevent and send the appropriate message not only to the finest in young people, that there is justice unfairness. an international humanitarian law uphold by the general assembly. but also it's send the message to everyone enough is enough. this war has to stop the cottage against our people. it has to stop in 3 weeks into the

conflict. and finally, the un has spoken the clear signal, the majority of the world wants to bombardment of guys a to and gabriel's on don't. how does either at the united nations, the still ahead on the algebra will have much more special coverage and also on dollars that including from yemen to jordan to assemble thousands of purchasing across the world in the hello. here's the thing. more than a 100 wildfires, bush fires are burning across new south wales state in australia and half of them are classified as out of control. so it is dry here. the area is parts breezy in some spots as well. but just a little while ago for the southeast corner of queensland, quite intense. right. and that's now shifted out over the open water. but something interesting is going on here. it is colliding with remnants of

a tropical cycle. and so the 2 are merging again. this is out over the open waters of posting no major risk. temperatures are down big time him the escape is the lead on the north island. here with this breeze has been you'll max out at 15 degrees on saturday. that's a good 10 below where you were just 24 hours ago off the indo china right now in parts of thailand, we've seen park is about 50 to a 100 millimeters of rain. i think we can expect much of the same on saturday. some pretty good run of rain to for northern areas of vietnam. it's raining across the yang see and the pro river valley in china, but for the yellow river valley where the sun's poking out. 28 in junk, jo on saturday, off to japan. we go, and the rain's been pretty intense here, so we do have some landside alerts in play shower. it's never too far away from tokyo, with a high of 23 degrees. ok got are and see you soon. a the,

the washing out. just bear in mind at the top stories this, our goal is to strip husbands subjects. it to the law just as writing, bombardments since the thoughts of the wor, no type of 7 as role has been booming, residential areas in the nose, on the center of the strip. you know, it's nation. so civil war that has collapse and he's ready, ministry said ground forces will expand operation. ok, let's go to heidi joe castros long for us in washington d. c. so a number of mixed messages are they coming from the united states, bring us up to date to that's right. you know, up to this point publicly, the bottom ministration has been clear saying that the us has israel's back repeatedly, unequivocally, and that it supports israel and. 7 all its military decisions, but there's some medication that privately, there may be a different story going on. this is coming from an article in the washington post

sites 5. i named us officials who say that the us is privately telling israel to hold off on its ground defensive in gaza, and instead replace that strategy with more strategic surgical operations involving aircraft and special forces. apparently this idea came around developed over the course of the last few weeks when the us defense and state secretaries met with is really military officials in israel. and rather than walk away assured they walked away apparently with more worries, particularly 3 in general. one that the is really, is lacked the military plan to truly eliminate her mas as they say, they want to do another being that going in with a ground offensive would indeed rail hostage negotiations that have already borne fruit with 4 hostages, released by her moss. and perhaps the greatest worry of all from the us that is

ground offensive, and the severe casualties that it will inflict on civilians and gaza could only lead to this conflict whitening in the region. attracting more intervention from a wrong in the back militias in this area. and that is the us as main concern, perhaps advising to do a more strategic approach approach on the is, or at least part. um, do we have a sense, a tool? how concerned ordinary americans, as well as us little make, is that america could find itself in that position sucks into a much wider regional conflicts as well. we know that the us public does not like us soldiers putting their lives at risk in foreign wars, and that calculation may not change up to this point. president biden has vowed that he will not be sending us ground forces into israel and you. c us uh,

support for uh for that military support of israel has been great as a result of that. but certainly there is a lot of concern among us officials that this could escalate. and that's why we're seeing those aircraft carriers deployed to the mediterranean. and now some $900.00 us soldiers also going to the region. but the pentagon being very clear saying that this is not directly to assist in israel's invasion of august, but rather as a deterrent. and he said to regional players to not intervene despite a see actually more attacks on us troops in the region. as of late since this warrant garza unfolded, thank you for that update, hardy jag, castro in washington. okay, i want to remind of you is the toll of the war. so a fall sense began on october, the 7th israel's bombing campaign across the goal is this trip has now killed $7326.00 palestinians. those are the latest figures from the health ministry.

it also says 108 palestinians have been killed in the occupied westbank in nearly 3 weeks. meanwhile, these writing government says more than 1400 as riley's were killed in the homeless attack. that took place 3 weeks ago to now since israel's bombardments began 3 weeks ago, thousands of buildings and guns that have been destroyed, home schools, hospitals of all been hits and on friday afternoon as rarely will plains targets at an entire residential square in the tow. oh, how wide neighborhood in the southern parts of gauze that city thousands were killed and all those critically injured. and a my calling during a guide i spoke to the full my palestinian information, administer must have a bug booty he described as well as latest attack on gaza as a mask. the listing admitted credit lives society as well as the red crescent and

the world health organization has reported a very good i have to change it over there who many 30 and i need to come to work because of their cut of all kinds of telecommunication. and attendant, and this should be non to the whole world, and it is totally unacceptable to butterflies and then to consider because at that time when boom, vitamins continue on guys, or what is happening is that he was my 2nd. eh, i think the number of guys is, does, i mean, is increasing by the minute and you're talking about items 30000 listing, interested in cause and as was reported, more than 7500. but the student has, can, these are not just numbers. these are human beings, people with families, with history, who out of the vanishing. and now because of this is an early but a better contact. but the most important thing is that the, in the fields, what's happening is that there's there and initiate some sort of ground to position

in the north of guys the probably in other areas. and the, the file, the confronting knows, thrown good assistance from the police, picking up the systems. and i think what's happening, cuz the actually negotiations with fire about to have to my typing day and night technicians. you know, they're not simply absorbed with more than 2 thirds of the woods and some part of the immediate cease fire community agencies, fire and immediate supply. of humanitarian aid to gaza. but isn't it? of course that refuses to implement that. and the, the, the, the fact that they are losing times and losing good money, is that a, is this, or just killed as the report that so far could mean that the organization would fail at the moment. and the there could be a day and 3 think it's not clear yet. are they trying to get as much as possible as they can before any potential a ceasefire is

a noun. so the saves these means at least some games because they've been on the border with gaza for the past 3 weeks. uh, threatening to go in and up until about 3 nights ago they hadn't been in the past 3 nights. they've done these limits and grounds incursions. it could be limited, this could be more, it all depends on the kinds of resistance they face and they are facing very strong resistance of the moment. haddaway resistance, i would say, and i think, or if, if they find the good girl said that they wouldn't go for the 2 must be limited to get onto position. but if they can't, then they would have to do 3. and in this case, they would face a lot of criticism, intentionally miserable because of another failure of those that are in the army we, we wouldn't see what happens. but what, what i can about the most is the number of police didn't, you know, civilian casualties. i was in does a 2014 and i saw myself by my own eyes. what i grown to position means

in the case of fish i at that time they didn't leave any house in place. everything was totally destroyed. and for the human being was code, it's a thought of the investigation and specially that they use not only tax, but they also use out of tennessee and the oddities, the bottom it can be very destructive. this is what's happening and i've got a mess of good in front of the whole world. and i, i ask all these companies that are supporting visitor and, and continuing this massacre and objective thing to cease fire by which low you are doing that. according to which the nation, the lawyer allow your sense to do such a horrible thing. it's sort of shameful, the behavior of some wisdom, governments that continue to support it is it, i do not consider that the $3000.00 but a student to the do not also children and the thousands of by the students. because i'd also human beings, and it seems for me that sort of them,

the love to visit is different from the other students. let me tell you one last thing that the amount of boom bottom into the guys are now is almost equal to the, to the bombs that was thrown in hiroshima during the 2nd world war. the new political all sort of darzy demonstrations have been held in, is stumble outside these riley consulate on friday. i was on the binge of 8 percent but as you be watching, those terrific scenes come out of gaza in the last few hours, thousands of people who have got the across turkey in sporadic protest, the largest one behind us in front of the is very confident here in the city of, if simple people have been coming in the last few hours the, as the hearing, the news that coming out on the street to show solidarity shoulder under 2, ben, uh, what they call their frustration for the conduction of not just the country but it is dire, most of the world and these protests have contin.
