12:00 pm
garza, i very much welcome the fondest trip to the region, which was important, as well as her unequivocal condemnation of tear the call for the release of hostages and the announcement by japan of 75000000 dollars and humanitarian assistance. we had a very productive discussion with farm mister knight, about important vital issues like what needs to be done to minimize civilian casualties, to increase the flow even more of the amount of trans assistance into gaza. and to prevent the spread of the conflict to 2 other places. and i think the united states and japan are very clearly aligned on what needs to be done. and what we're working to do do together as um, as i said earlier in terms of the future, i think there are few very basic things that everyone would want to achieve. one is that there can't be a return to the situation. the status quote before october 7th, where uh guys that can be used as a platform to launch the most terrific terrorist attacks that anyone can imagine.
12:01 pm
and at the same time, it's vitally important that the palestinian aspirations for governing themselves for being the ones to decide their own futures are, are realized. and so we have to work to both of those things at the same time. and that's what we're trying to do. for the next question, that key chain would be a way this good afternoon, mister secretary, how's the lunch? do you enjoy love? of course you must see for what we did. yes, we had a excellent, excellent sea food here and i can tell you not just launched, i think last night as well. and i commend it to everyone, but i have more questions. oh, i thought that was it. nights i thought the regarding
12:02 pm
you as president jo biden's planes meeting with their chinese president staging team next week. is the united states heading towards a substantial change. it's a relationship with the people's republic of china, where the us serve. for course, you must see for doing apple. and so for it to the find may, do you have anything on the starting talks on a reliable arrangement with their chinese government to present artificial intelligence enforcement, english decision making for nuclear comment in control? suggested by some china observers, including henry kissinger. thank you. right? so i the 1st much as i'd like to, i really can speak to the menu at a packet as well above my pay grade. so stay tuned. we'll see the 1st i
12:03 pm
should say that we are planning for a constructive meeting between the leaders. we're still working on those plans and i think both sides have acknowledged the importance of, of liter level channels in managing the relationship. and we both agree that we have an obligation as the united states and trying to, to responsibly manage the relationship. and that really in many ways starts and finishes with leader level engagement. so we've been working towards this meeting since my trip division is this past summer. there are a number of areas and issues upon which we hoped to make progress, as well as continued to manage the places where we have real differences as you know, 5 minutes for long. he was just just in washington. we had detailed, a constructive conversations, both about the areas, a potential, a cooperation, but also about the, the, the places where we have real disagreements. and i think we were able to speak very
12:04 pm
clearly very candidly, with each other. and that too is very important when it comes to the discussions that there are leaders that um, so beyond that, i can't get into the specific issues that they would uh that they would discuss in, in an, in any such meeting, i can say as a general principle for us that when it comes to artificial intelligence, that we believe that the artificial intelligence should not be in the loop or making the decisions about how and when in a nuclear weapons used that very much reflect, started armstrong, legal view, and our policy. but as to what of the leaders would discuss? i i'm not in a place where i can talk about that now. we're still working on on the meeting and working on the the agenda for any meeting next. and the final question goes to
12:05 pm
future kami tucker yuki with your murray. a hi secretary. good evening. welcome to japan. i think uh seems to be how much the dock on these route. uh the us has me require to respond on that 3 font. as you mentioned that in the pacific grain in the middle east or a so you are traveling around the world to respond these issues. frankly. how tough is it? and even in the midst of all these, please tell us again how important it is for us to focus on a positive thing. well, 1st of all, thank you for reminding me where i am. now in all seriousness, i have to tell you um that, um i, i always welcome any opportunity to come to japan. um, it's almost no matter the the situation for me. it's a pleasure to be here to work with uh with my japanese colleagues. we so value the relationship, the partnership of the ally ship that we have is,
12:06 pm
was japan and it really is safe to say without contradiction. that's never been stronger. so in many ways it's always reassuring to be here even. and maybe even especially in times of challenge because of that, of that strong partnership and more broadly. look, i can tell you that we are determined and we are as we would say running and chewing gum at the same time. so the endo pacific is the critical region for our future. so as i mentioned just a little over a week ago, find that a strong he was a, was in washington for extensive discussions with, with me, with the national security advisors like sullivan with up with president biden as well. and were working, as we just discussed, on a meeting between the leaders at apec. we of course will be spending the entire
12:07 pm
week next week with colleagues, countries from from a tech. again, a demonstration of our intense focus on the, on the pacific. from here, i'm going on to korea and then going on to india. again, further evidence of the fact that we're very focused on the pacific and will remain so. a couple of weeks ago i was testifying before congress with century defense load austin, about the supplemental budget request that the president has made of congress. the extra funds that we need to do, very important things. an important component of that request are additional funds for our work in the new pacific. so all of this is um, i think very compelling and clear evidence of our focus. and it's vitally important, even as we're dealing with the, a real crisis in, in gaza in the middle east. we're also not only able, but we're, we're, we're fully engaged in all of the interest that we have in the,
12:08 pm
in the pacific to thank you very much. thanks everyone there watching. i'll just say that we're be bringing your live coverage of a press conference that's being held by the us secretary of state onto the blinking . it's in tokyo and it's following a meeting of foreign ministers from members of the g 7 countries leaving con, recovering a significant amount of ground. he did say that had been an unprecedented unity of purpose and unity of action amongst a g 7 members. they were talking about a wide range of subjects, predominantly the situation in the middle east, but also talking about the development of ukraine, the situation in ukraine, also the in the pacific situation, dealings with china but, and the us and also in front of the artificial intelligence and its impact possibly on nuclear weapons controls i want to bring in the katrina you who's on correspondent who has been following that from tokyo. a couple of things that i noticed that was he,
12:09 pm
we were stressing to find that the g 7 had agreed on demands for humanitarian pauses to allow him to monitor and aid and the rest of captives and no attempts to blockade or the siege guys, or what are you being picking up on katrina as well? i think the most salient points is that while they're g 7, a certain year to see here and there has been no agreement on a ceasefire. but the group has managed to agree on a humanitarian pause, which would allow for whom not hang corridors and much needed food, water health services, an access for humanitarian work is into the gaza strip. so he also spoke about some concrete steps that the group has agreed to to minimize home of civilians, although no d tells us whole and no mention as to whether the g 7 will be applying any pressure . so urging israel to minimize civilian casualties, actually i was quite surprised that the lack of mention of the israel as a whole by blinking here. he said that they would work towards stuff extreme is
12:10 pm
violence on the west bank. and he said that he would warn that the due 7 had a warning for any other countries, any other groups that were looking to expand this conflict beyond the gaza strip. now, very interesting, lee. as you mentioned, lincoln mentioned that there were some boston lines that the g 7 agreed to let me just list them here. know forcible displacement of the palestinian people in gaza. which interesting thing we know is definitely happening. the no use of gaza as a platform for terrorism and no blockade on stage of gauze and nor reduction in the territory of gauze. now what was very interesting also he said that the g 7 agreed that gauze that should be governed long term 5, the palestinian people. there was not some mention of the palestinian authority. he made it very clear that this would not be a situation which would be an occupation by israel. now that seems to contradict what we've had some nice in yahoo, who has been saying that there will be
12:11 pm
a security responsibility possibly by as well. once this conflict is over and lincoln was asked about that, and he said that he wouldn't degree and that was not what the g 7 agreed to thought . he did say that there could be a transition period. so obviously that allows for postal open a temporary presence by israel that she said answering the question about whether the group had agreed with cecil i considering some of the members had raises the supply. it had boasted for a ceasefire. previously, i think united nations, anthony, blinking simply said that there's cooling for a c. so i had the responsibility of explaining how ceased i could happen without allowing mazda essentially to regroup and repeat the actions of october 7. katrina, thank you very much. that's katrina you bringing yourself today from to okay, well let's bring in html comm mode. he's a professional public policy though. hi, institute for graduate studies. he's been with us some of the last few hours or so . let's come back to that point that katrina was making for the secretary of state's blinking, referred to um, the palestinian control,
12:12 pm
essentially all both gaza and the west bank that it must be. the 2 must be tied together. that obviously invites questions about the role of the public standing authority. and i'm more of any situation that could find itself in an even if palestinians would be willing to a lot of that happen at all. how do i start? i mean, for sure, but a scene is, would not present that at this conference and or what they think or the opinions of no, even what the lead. but if any of the ship, once this has a blinking uh, uh, nothing. yeah. it was not active. uh, being uh, motor mr. clinton to this conference i of the scene of president even the present the best we haven't to haven't personally talking about at all for the be in gaza. we have here at the about, so i'm going to put stipulating, but these are all the ports coming out from different meet agencies. but the main
12:13 pm
thing is, is that, again it's, it's, and it's like history repeating itself is the medical then for the students deciding on, on, on, on their behalf. how house about a student lists? what's, what's best on, what doesn't work best for us? do you mean the americans and the sort of yeah, and this is what it is. yeah. and, and, and, and, and as if and as if that in control of, of what it's doing and loves and stations, and whatever. but as soon as one and a 2nd is this colonial mentality, it's, it's and it's sad to see it, especially, i mean, the americans repeating the same as sick a good mistakes i get it. i, i've done this that i know the think become subject to that the nation and also decide what school then, what's best for it, without being without having any presence of up on a student in this conference or to pursue the view in this conference. and the trip to view. so again it's, it's, i'm just astonished. i mean, i understand also what's the use of in the context of this, this confidence. i mean,
12:14 pm
and it's then us like in the solution and i'm unable to adjust the fact that the world has moved beyond you. 7, you 7 is not controlling the words anymore. and there is a multi pulled board, emergent one, we have the bricks, web showing the web for us. and we have the free nations of the sauce. and we have seen that when the one is the simple of this it's, i'm not giving you this, you 7 to fix decision. this method is the un, we need an impala view. and on this something you just live in. this again it's, it's against the same colonial mindset that they cannot get beyond it and just submit that the world has changed and they have to respect the voices, the other views of the world. the other part is the big would the very diverse world we live in, which by large supports, by this time and us thing and aspirations to being depend the streets, side by side base that i. but again, what we have seen is, i mean i, this is not blinking this, it is that 84 missed speaking enough. i'm thinking. so blinking has to the, the step aside speaks on the american. people do not believe that as the past,
12:15 pm
because we think bigger of the us, us as rude and engagement in this process. it's locked in and best of the phrase and it shouldn't be an investment the for own. and with the at the, for the old enough for these events. and again, another fear that for blinking and for the us diplomacy under this administration. and it brings us also back to. ready this ongoing discussion that we've had over the last few eyes about the benjamin netanyahu has comments about, say, the security, the maintenance of security within garza. at the same time, the us, i'm a saying we have no intention of allowing israel to be an occupying forcing cause a, but it's difficult to understand how israel should have a military presence inside garza to de militarize. and that the district without actually effectively occupying it, i don't think because they talk about it, but they didn't, they really don't know how to implement that. that's the thing. i mean, if you look up, okay, good news that the lead, i mean giving the scale of the,
12:16 pm
the crime, he wasn't, it was, that's a police. he's committed to no force of the displacement. exceptionally unintended . it, we know internally if it's already happened, there is a forcible displacement into the mess of one inside the guns slip. i hope they don't, it doesn't become external to egypt or other countries. so let's see if, if the this and see it about committing. if the medic who's also seen about committing to this bill, uh, you know, no blockades, find this at least out of commission that part of this problem the of cause is that located because it's been under severe amenities available, paid for the last 15 years. so can you send indication that this there might find a way to, to, to, to allow guys up the lives really to, to develop really without any blockades. but i think again, this is how the, how i mean you need to partner, you need to put a sting in. and the student is as a stop. and thomas and the p l. o, an independent people, palestinians, autumn, not a tank or
12:17 pm
a building or an object. you can move from x to y via need to engage with the students. and so far, again, it's just a repeating itself. it's the bought the vacation in the it up. they think they can the amount of time as couple of dollars and click and get the from us. you can, you can. so again, i'm just sat in to hear these positions. and i'm also, and i understand that even most of you 7 countries, also they are supporting a ceasefire, not a humility. info's. it's only that many kinds of these ladies who won't be similar to that and pauses, which means that they want to prolong the war, allow you to happen to come in, but they don't want, they don't want the ceasefire. they're not going to get to gays in the ceasefire, and then a political discussion on the future doesn't come with we appreciate it. thank you very much indeed. so as i said, is honey in law, who is joining us now from con eunice, inside the gaza strip. i understand that we may have lost our signal to uh, honey, we will try and get him back later in the program were gonna speak to salt archive
12:18 pm
that she's joining us from occupied east jerusalem. no, we don't have a sata either. and i can show you pictures, all of these are picked live pictures from the southern part of israel, which is looking into at northern part of gauze. and we can see is what i am assuming should be, is very military vehicles. i'd be in a central view picture that we've seen quite a lot of activity there this morning. it's not a suggestion that necessarily these vehicles are moving inside. it's likely difficult one to see what those vehicles could be. those ones on the left hand side looks as though they may actually be construction vehicles, but i can't be certain of that from here. we have certainly seen motorized vehicles um perhaps personal carriers, but also tanks have be moving along that. um that part of the photo stories there, and of course this follows the g 7 conference that we've been hearing of foreign
12:19 pm
ministers in tokyo with which the us secretary state onto the blinking has just been giving a press conference. and he's, let me just remind you, it was saying that this was an unprecedented unity of purpose and unity of action. and amongst jew 7 members, he was talking about uh, the call for humanitarian pauses to allowing humanitarian aid and a release of captive as it is worth noticing and noting that some of those g 7 members previously at the u. n had been voting for a cease fire, but the g as a, a g 7 summit, which is a statement which has come out, is not referring to, to monetary pauses. i'm pleased to say we can now go to honey back mode, who's joining us from tanya? this honey, there has been a continuous bombardment design this time to all of our air strikes throughout the last few hours. just talk this through what you've been hearing.
12:20 pm
yes. well, i'm going, gave strikes and boulevard with continued to pound the gaza strip. in the corner of gauze, it has been a major sights of those relentless, serious reg, just within the past half an hour. and then at area that's eastern of the city of hun, eunice, it has been the target, a major error strike a residential home was targeted by a massive error strikes for more surrounding homes where severely damaged as a result of that error. sorry, what seems to be a large diameter bombs was dropped on that area, destroying much of its infrastructure in the including the targeted house. now the house has the owners and many evacuation who came in from the gaza city. and the northern part of the 3 people had been brought to the hospital at the 8 killed right at the spot. and one of them is a little girl as a, as a small child,
12:21 pm
a broad a among the did through the hospital or at least 7 injuries. we don't know exactly how many people have been killed at this point because there are still many people under the rubble. not only the rebels of that house, but the for more surrounding homes as the collapse of each other. at the earlier hours of this state. a particularly in air, the hours of this morning, it should. yeah, yeah. it was targeted by major is right, leaving 15 people killed and 10 more of seriously injured to the north, where the indonesian hospital is located is also a fire boat. was it created in the surrounding area of the hospital, destroying whatever lift of its infrastructure, an older roads leading to the main entrance of the hospital. the ears strikes continue as long as a, as well as the is really heavy. military presence on the ground. continue as well,
12:22 pm
and i know you've been talking to us over the last few days about the emergency crews that have been threatening their way through the streets of, of guys are trying to avoid the rubble and the destruction to get emergency age, a humanitarian age to people i understand that an 8 convoy may have been heads this was not only the air strikes and the destructions and the damage are created on the ground impeding the work of human. it's free include boy and rescued the crew on the ground, but also a convoy to run our lives by the red cross. it was under the fire yesterday as it was delivering medical supplies and survival items to health facilities in the gaza city. it was forced to change route. it was, it was going to start delivering to the hospital that accommodates up to $14000.00
12:23 pm
evacuees. but it was forced to change routes and going all the way to a super hospital where it delivers the 5 of the trucks over human of medical supplies and survival items. the, the, the, the, the attack and the on on this put in boy a, as in waves of concern among palestinians who are still in garza. and the northern part, fearing that because of this, the, the process, the or, and of, of delivering kids will be under jot for the and they wouldn't be able to receive whatever necessary to keep them surviving as the war continues to escalate. in that particular area. honey, thank you very much indeed. how do you mamma? talking to us from con eunice? we're going to go to salt our cottage. he's joining us from occupied east jerusalem . so he's really forces saying that they're moving towards the hearts of guys. a city. what are you hearing sign of the yeah,
12:24 pm
we've know has a confirmation as such from the is randy minutes free. this thing of course that they're moving in the past. however, i witnesses have spoken to all just there are from gaza saying that they've seen soldiers and um, it's very close around 700 meters roughly from l. a sofa hospital. now going back to what you was saying earlier about the international committee of the red cross, the convoy was targeted on tuesday. i have a law not as an young co, he to talk to us more about that. what happened exactly? well, yesterday i was medical come boy, this consisted of 55 trucks with medical supplies sent to ice or c, because so was on the way to deliver this supplies to i called hospital that is run by the police team and red creasing society. and on the way to the hospital, it was so we don't have, we don't know exactly what happened. the 2 trucks,
12:25 pm
2 trucks with damaged and i would tribal was wounded. so they re dies the tooth and went to ship a hospital instead. and the posts for us. we were shocked to see this happening, and i just want to use this opportunity to remind am strongly stress. that's too many tevin, con voice medical convoys. facilities and personnel enjoys special protection. under the international committee terminal, i was going to say, where does that assigned for you? but we've seen as strikes of hits schools and hospitals. is this a against international law? the international uh, link international humanitarian law says that the civilian facilities, inter essential infrastructure civilians must be distinguished from the military objects, a military personnel. so we've been talking to this policies and we've been continually quoting publicly on the respect so international,
12:26 pm
so many to around little because the to many parenting of this conflict with we're seeing today on the ground is just staggering. you were saying, i don't know that you were there in uh 2019. how different is this situation now? what are your thoughts on now? and goal is to assist you and they've all the see been tending to palestinians the what it, what are they saying? and what are they witnessing? i speak to our colleagues in gaza every day. and what they describe to me is extremely hot breaking. so yesterday, when they were on the way to distribute medical supplies, they sold thousands of people on the road. and a couple people in wheelchairs, elderly children, and these people, which is desperate, they will kept asking, like, always that always safe is the shelter for us where we can, we find food, where we can, can, can we find voltage and for us as a humanitarian personnel, we just didn't have the answers to this question and this is do was stating to be there and witnessing this massive needs and not having enough response to help
12:27 pm
these people. we just heard from anthony, but it could be a secretary of state speaking quite co, again, reiterate seem to important solve a humanitarian pause and you were telling me earlier yourselves that those in the north, especially on guessing any access to any kind of humanitarian aid. what, what, how important is this pause and, and what is happening to facilitate don ross who believes in the noise and leading the cause of c t. and what we saw yesterday is people who don't have food, who don't have access to basic necessities. and most importantly, who can find any place to be safe? well, we can just ignore these people. they're still there and the urgently need to many term in the systems. making sure that too many tevin, there's too many turbans face of so people can receive essential supplies is also enough to get sion unto the international. so many kevin law, what are the credit cards and supplies that are missing now?
12:28 pm
i mean, we've been hearing about some people even saying that they've had like award to one person. i know in gauze a c, c who has a baby. so they've had terrible diarrhea because of the, the contaminated water as well. and the lack of it, how are you going to be able to ensure that they receive this aid? especially as fighting is ongoing. this is a very good question and very touch and then because any kind of agreement that he's reached on any too many to reinforce, we also must take into account how massive humanitarian needs that we're facing are . and what practically we can do in a short periods. of time, so the needs are desperate. i speak to our surgical team every day that operating in cost i who are p on hospital. they are running short, all 4 of the medical supplies essential medical supplies like anesthetics, like dressing materials, uh, blogs. they all looking blood desperately, they receive a lot of very heavy wounded people, lots of severe beds,
12:29 pm
uh children. and uh, it's very, it's 63 of the conditions that they have to work in. and it seems as clearly major concerns here, especially we've heard from the palestinians, the saying that they would hope that the red cross would be able to oversee at least the movements of those from the north to the south. thank you very much for speaking to us. that is clearly something we need to be talking about a lot more. well, of course we know at the moment, so we've heard from these riley ministry spokes person saying that there's a 100000 palestinians still left in the north trying to make it to the south. and as we've just heard that absolutely desperately in need full that see monetary and assistance. but also the fair that we've heard from those palestinians are trapped trying to lead a. but i'd su scott to leave that homes. many of them without a anything other than what's on that, but lots of them with family members,
12:30 pm
children trying to get across to what is considered relatively safe, but still immune from those is ray. the strikes saw that god item the occupied east . jerusalem, sorta, thank you very much. well, there's ready for these have continued overnight rates across the occupied westbank and, and occupied east jerusalem and the shore fight unblocked. a refugee comes where hit on thursday morning. israel's intensive find its rates and palestinian communities since homeless attacks on october the 7th, at least a $164.00 pottage stains have been killed in the occupied westbank. we're going to go to him a homage. i'm jim is live for us in ramallah. i talk to see what the is maybe forces say they're trying to achieve with these rates moment. so rob is really military leaders have been pretty open the last few weeks about what they're trying to do. they say that the gloves are off when it comes to the rates that are happening in the occupied west bank. they say that they are trying to stand out any form of militancy or palestinian fighting factions that have
12:31 pm
a presence in any of the refugee camps. and other parts of the occupied west bank. now that's not what you hear though, of course, from the palestinians. you speak with the occupied westbank. they say that they are being subject.
