10:04 pm
i have 2 young daughters and this boy, everything collapsed and i can't see anything. the survivors salvage what they cad in the hole. they may rebuild their homes one day. what is the 1st time i've seen such an abstract? what is happening? i ask god to take vengeance on the united states. they killed us and slicked to the neck by upon us by us, go to take vengeance on the killers of our children. many palestinians now say the re my only god they have no faith in the rest of the world even to see you and 20. pardon eunice, in the south. think all distress we're not going to speak to dr. the not to he's a reconstructive surgery. and act and ship a hospital and guys i city a doctor of my thanks for your time. can you tell us about the situation right now as i'm sure if i, because they're there been reports of sniper fire in and around the hospital,
10:05 pm
people being targeted as they tried to leave? what have you seen or heard? and so for the last 3 days, the situation is different types of type that is squeezing around to ship a hospital. so the, the incident, you just say that it's safe to leave the hospital for the same get. we're going to try to move was shots and can yesterday autonomy to apply it in front of my eyes. ready tried to be sure false with that. and then most of the street which is around 200 meters away from she paused for they would show the device not present, can this morning a man to try to get across the street in front of a ship. all sudden he was a kid by his side and his tin, his buddies in front of the ship, a hospital. so again, it's, it's still, it's, and he was on, we had all kinds of bombardments, all kinds of strikes gunshots all over the area this morning. there was uh he'd be smoke out around in the see it or around the ship almost with that. what
10:06 pm
are you can hardly see more than 10 meters in the front of you. they circulation and no one to the safe is within the hospital. we hardly can move within the hospitality been days 2 days ago, one of the engineers side to fix. and it could be show happened at 2 o'clock in the morning and he was shots by a drone. and he has, he gets injured his head and his neck was quite good please. yeah. so when you see those are the unsafe place for the whole people here, what kind of get to the situation that the complexity yesterday evening we didn't, we stopped having water in the hospital as a d, as a he didn't has time because the main or thought of the times within the hospital. so currently the situation is we have no electricity except for the fuel critical area and within the us because we have no water within that hospitality. and we ordered it on out of most of the supplies and consumables, reduce our patients now the in order to keep the annotated bits of
10:07 pm
a few went on in the critical areas. we spoke the manager operating serious that to which are 6 tombs and remove the one over 18 little into that account. by the way we go to one subject of supply from the genette agent and we put that into the machine. and that's why the now we can do on the one test, one of the kitchen, the operating face of it. so, and it's on the life saving cases. so what's the, the, what can you tell us about your patients that are currently in the hospital and particularly the ones that are in the i c u units. so we have in the hospital about 60 patients in the i c u beds where they need vintage was on continuous machine support, which is which put them at the very hardest to die. if we still very good it should be the other big issue. i'm sad story, we have is the new nets. a lot of the baby is born before 9 months. these are usually put into bits of us to minus the situation within the tenets of the mothers . so these patients, you won't use to be in incubators at around 10 to 9. now,
10:08 pm
then we would, they wouldn't they woman's hospital which would bump 3 times earlier. and because of the shortage of the electricity. so we decided that we can put on the incubators within the romans, hosted with an and sadly we have decided to move these and they were 40 to us one point kind of do the out. i think 32nd. so we move these units. there were reports suggesting that some of these babies had died. can you confirm that? and if so, how many have of sadly lost their lives? dr. mcculler last year, are you still with us? all right, we apologize. we lost our connection to doctor i from a tendency speaking to us from inside and shift hospice, little describing a very sort of volatile situation there last spring and thought about zoom. he's
10:09 pm
joining us not from trying you know, stats in the south of the gaza strip. thought it to tell us what's happening in the south where you are and also in the northern part of the gaza strip. the yes, it seems that the tax on the last i was on the south of the gaza strip is intensifying and is ready. it forces aultcare of conducting a series of raids, targets and move down 5 buildings till till now leading to the death of more than 15 palestinians till the until this current moment the latest is ready. the attack took place on a dish. suddenly at the south of the gaza strip or fog palestinians have been killed due to this real interest for apartments, the southern areas of the gaza strip. witness since the beginning of this date, different as strikes, which could get a clear indication that even the southern areas of the 2 or 3 is not yet even save . and to be a way to protect it from the speed berlin system bottom as, as move people off leading to the south of victory. now people in the south of the
10:10 pm
directory of the populated and they are trying to get access to what's the main wild be so that this area will be safe and the going to protect the children assembly from the is very, very interest abutment. meanwhile, the latest attack that took place in con eunice city. uh it was for a family that was supposed to another family from the most of the gaza strip, which were evacuated. and meanwhile, they had been bombarded even off the evacuation to this house of the church for you in terms of been most of the gaza strip. they're linked a small button and continued also as well in the vicinity or the intuition hospital . and also to make course impression was on the value of refuge account, where a residential building was completely destroyed. and the tool now moved them, those as a palace, then you have been killed. the do to the latest is really strikes. but what is really important to mention is the nation hospital have become a completely run out of a few and they are facing. so the difficulty in terms of providing surgery is and
10:11 pm
even a treatment for a dozens of palestinians who hi, injected do to the is really ongoing relentless bombardment as the attacks on the north continue the southern areas of the gaza strip to now have become a c is that's 40 is very military ongoing, a rates thought it. yeah. about situation and hospitals. i mean that is what we're hearing and we were just speaking to the surgeon from inside his ship, a hospital where he was describing, that's a civil hospital, has basically run out of most things there. but let me ask you about the displacements of people because this really is i've told those in the north to go south and you're reporting. but even in the south, there are air strikes and we understand now there are about a 1600000 people in gaza who had been displaced. yes. crowds of people, wesley ink from the north, from central areas to the south of victor. a treat uh, based on the,
10:12 pm
according to the, uh, is ready restrictions that they are recommended from them to head to a safe place to be away from the is very miniature ration on the ground. meanwhile, is what keeps attacking the southern areas of the 2 or 3. but what is really strange is that there are a good number of people who are still resigned and you've been most of that are treat. they have no any of the option to leave from the north of the, of the gaza strip as they have no, any of a place to go to reside in. as hospitals have been bombarded in the north, a united nation schultz is the or so trying as much as they can to running a to it because you have the minimum rate of food in order to survive. so they are witnessing dramatic catastrophe. consequences in terms of still residing at the most of the 2 or 3. but they say that they don't have any option to leave as isabel is encircling the nose and the gaza strip in the central areas of gaza strip. and they are sometimes opening fire identity evacuees, where a number of people have been reported. also injured and even killed by these ready
10:13 pm
snipers was stationed on both main roads of the territory, the art thinking, the north with the southern areas of the gauze district. so they'll force to study the end even if they are, if they have the chance to be evacuated to the southern areas, they are forced to move for a to work for a long distance. and even this considered to be a very risky journey, as there is no, any transportation afforded to deliver them from the north to the southern areas and the ongoing fuel prices and the church. we okay thought it. thank you so much for that update from uh, news. thank you. well, the white house is national security adviser has told american media the us does not want to see fighting and hospitals in gaza. jake sullivan also says, washington is involved in negotiations to secure the release of captains held by him. us the u. s. a so far block several un security council resolutions calling for a cease fire and gaza. there are ongoing negotiations involving the israelis,
10:14 pm
the countries and we, the united states are actively engaged in this as well because we want to make sure that we bring home those americans who have been taken hostage as well as all of the other hostages. i so that continues, there are efforts to try to secure a deal that would involve the release of hostages and the president's not gonna arrest until we achieve that deal so that every single one of those hostages can come home safely. say advertise, he has more from washington dc and he repeated the same for points on several of the sunday news shows here in, in the us personally on a potential comparative exchange. you wouldn't confirm what has been been circulated under the surface here in dc separately that perhaps a captive exchange has been discussed well by captives would be released in exchange for palestinian women and children held and is rainy josie, let me confirm those details but did say that the migrations were ongoing with the
10:15 pm
us involved as well as the israel hum us, broken by cops up. secondly, on that issue off is rarely targeting of hospitals or targeting of the i'll ship a hospital, he wouldn't confirm that her mom was using i'll ship a hospital or some sort of results, but he did keep on referring to open source information on how mouse is track record, but then he did say that the us doesn't want to see firefights and hospital with innocence court in the pro 5 and that they were ongoing consultations about that issue with the idea of the us. bradley on the goals for us citizens and gauze, are some $400.00. he said, but the gates were opened quite today. we were referring to a rough or we think and that he expected more to be able to leave in the coming days. and then finally, on one of the us position was diverging without stated by benjamin doesn't you know
10:16 pm
after the future. sullivan repeated the us position, but as far as they were concerned, they should be no reorganization of gaza. that should be no reduction of the territory of gaza, no forcible displacement of displacement of causes. and that they should be some sort of unified palestinian leadership of the west bank and gaza. call louis, i'll bring in our senior political analyst, my wanda shadow to pick up on what does she have was just saying about the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that he was opposed to a post worst scenario in which the palestinian authority would govern. does nothing yeah. who was saying that he won't give up control over security and gaza under any circumstances. but you west smart one has said that they a actually let me ask you this way. to what extent do you think is this going to complicate? the us is position which is clearly stated that the palestinian authority should be put in charge of gauze off to the war. i think it's a little complicated,
10:17 pm
but i think it also goes a long way to demonstrate how reckless the by the administration is and how the new version of it is. it's reckless because it bucks 10 bucks itself. and behind that then you know an hour in this situation to and bravo. now they're trying to take a bit of a distance from the war crimes about taking place in the hospitals as hostile for by saying we don't want to see fighting and hospitals. but they are not exactly the masterminds, but you sent them the orchestra to this along with then it's any all government. lest we forget that by then and blinking, where in the war room with these really ministers of war designing this very particular offensive. i guess guys the united states is complicit in this war crimes that is going on gaza. but aside from the recklessness of bucks and gets sort of in behind the video now it's delusional. about what the end game is. i mean, been in the abstract. yes. is there, i should not be occupied,
10:18 pm
garza but these really is never listen to the americans when it comes to by this time. when was the last time i liquid government, let alone a phonetic sessions. government, listen to the united states about what goes on, and by this time, how many years now have the united states said the sacraments are illegal, then the sacraments are not helpful, then the sacraments. i'm not exactly good for peace, but these are these continued with the sacraments. how many times have they said, we don't want to see, i'm ok, patient of guys that it would be a big mistakes. nothing, you know, goes on, are you trying to break down? it says we are going to have to maintain overall control costs with the yeah, speaking of the settlements, let me just jump in there because a security minister also made this comment from our bank. if you were saying that he would consider a new occupation of gaza, rebuilding the settlements, but as real, dismantled in 2005. so he says that nothing yahoo says what he says. and do they even know what their end game is? and by the way, i think we do have to mention the how much responded to these comments saying
10:19 pm
that's guys that will be ruled by its people. absolutely. so have this unpack all of these. so it's clear that the procedural part of the it as far as the not says, concerned that they would roll, i think it's going to be almost impossible for them to go to guys out to go back to guys on the back of and is there anything so i'm not sure what's going to happen the next few weeks or months. but if we're going to be talking about hundreds of thousands of casualties, i don't know how to get them. it would be on my la, later shift to come to guys on the back of i think so, but let's put that aside. then we have the idea of these really saying we're gonna have overall control. must executive govern occupier has that responsibility towards talk. if i, if it's ready to get them into an overall control, it's going to have to provide the deconstruction of gaza sewage and water and, and health services through the people in kaiser is going to have to reset the level one they are pushing away the 1000000 plus people that is the duty of
10:20 pm
unoccupied affords the, to the 4th through the convention. unless, as usual is right, always going to be and, you know, again, a funds to international. and then there's the idea of the fanatics within the government, the more extreme financing, the government saying, we want nobody. so to get us to my mind, you never know this is really is the best office, each other. they're talking to their own base for their talking to the rest of the way. i think that's any i would like to be in the process of uh, going back and forth with the united states, say that we're gonna have it in front door. no, you want, okay, what are you going to give us back? so, you know, the bargaining starts right about what's next. and i think of nothing, you know, know, is that without his fanatics 14 seats, and is there any part of the month he's not going to be able to have a government. okay. speaking of that, one more comment made by israel's agriculture minister abbey did stir. or a difference or he said that he described the current displacement to persecution of palestinians and gaza as been of 2023. this is not the 1st time we've heard
10:21 pm
these comments before, but to what extent do you think that they are in line with the government's policy and actions and what we're seeing unfold on the ground. but it depends whom, right? so uh, someone like being here. what he says we're going to reset the guys are probably every single other during the general things that government outside of would probably be. you know, i don't mind use words like spinning on him, but what setting is a, this is a, he's a crazy man with different to the last time we're going to do is receptive guy. so we're not going to put more jewish settlers in the middle of guys, or we did that. we tried that. that did not work. we would never ever go back to suckling guys. so that's a site but at the deck to it's not just another minute. first of all, he is bought the parts of these, they're in the military and intelligence establishment. he played a very important senior roles to aiden within the various wars that took place against the protestants. so when he talks, he also represents a bit the military establishment, the likes of gallant and, and guns. when you're talking about the 2nd level by what it is,
10:22 pm
the 2nd and it is what others. courtney? it's the doctor and you know it's just good. they're going to go in and destroy more or more bunch of guys. and in this case probably be more expulsions. of kind of serious already we have the displacements of a 1000000 and a half. so probably they going to go on in a destroyed more unexposed, unexpected motor if they can. so then are those people who are talking from the phonetic religious can they are not part of the war cabinet. and then all of those within the stablish month of the, is there a military, the odd and the cabinets? you know, just for it to make it clear to our view is around the world. there is the government that is running things in his right. and then there's the war cabinet made of 2 jetting that always get lots of guns. and then there's nothing. yeah. nothing you know, invoke the idea that we, you know, that the biblical range that we're going to, we're going to. but along the lines because women men, children, and babies under animals. so that's something you know,
10:23 pm
get long. busy and these are all human animals, are we going to talk to them accordingly? and there is guns, the fed, one in the war cabinet who said, or was proud, boasting dog bombing guys back to the stone age in 2014. so you have a very radical, really to rise adventurous war cabinet. the news, right. that is more than willing to flatten guys off. in the weeks of months i had was going to govern a flat and gaza with hundreds of thousands of casualties. i mean, it's a nightmare i, i hope it just doesn't happen. so what happens after the run diplomatically, where are we right now? we understand that there has been a conversation between the united states, the secretary state antony, blinking as well as the country prime minister. they reported we've discussed efforts to evacuate critically wounded people from does that as well as increase your monetary and age? where are we went with the,
10:24 pm
with any notion of the c spar. so there are 2 variables here. there's the valuable of the captives, the hostages, and the variables of the humanitarian pauses or sci fi, and they are going together. so now that the pretty magic and the security are going in, part of the mod with the more hostages are kept is going to be released the more or the longer these you might getting pauses needing eventually by getting back to that illusion. jake sort of was saying today, until each and every hostage is brought back featured, every cost is both bad. we don't know how many of them is still a life. i mean, here we had again, the united states is pushing for him right there in pauses. base rent is spoke about 4 hours a day, which is a total of full side. and we don't know because of all the bombing that's taking place. how many have survived, and now today we hear from him us,
10:25 pm
but there are not talking about release of hostages anymore. why? because of the environment in the vicinity division for hospital. the in 2nd, i know is sacrament of other hospitals. how can i have asked talk about release of hostages when the scenes are such and when is that it continues to talk about either knocking guys off or flattening guys. so i think the diplomatic is not going very well because the military and is read is taking that and then finally a more general side approach because i'd like to come back to that point. but just to let you know that we're also hearing from that may redo on and cuts are that the mirror of cats are, has received a phone call, in fact, from the american president. and they reviewed the latest developments in the situation and gaza, as well as they occupied palestinian territories. the mere stress to bite in the necessity of an immediate cease fire, as well as the protection of civilians in garza and the permanent opening of the
10:26 pm
crossing. how. how significant is that? is this conversation where the southern is significant, please, and as far as the categories are at the heart of this, it's diplomatic process. but they would also an active partner, member of the item describe the confidence that we just witnessed on the 24 hours ago where it's $57.00 countries. we said we want to cease fight immediately and we, we don't accept the justification of his read uh, self defense for it's general. so i think guys, so we have that and then the categories are armed with that resignation from 6 to 7 countries. at the same time, they are central to an ongoing process between these ratings the directions and how i'm us. and clearly there's so much they can do as long as it's read continues with as jonas, i think cause, i mean, that's the logical and that's just a simple common sense. why would have us take any steps when they is writing these are for you fully going on with their genocide and affecting hospitals or
10:27 pm
facilities affecting those special buildings and schools and getting so many people in the end of the day, the united states, as your thoughts to cut the 5th needs to talk to these read these in a more firm way. she was a lot better so it does nothing. yeah. oh, you better stop because we said stop meaning stop. if you don't stop, we are letting you go. you are on the loose call us when you are serious about reducing the hostages, because we don't want to see more american and international houses buying already . the french president then step in good, and i think the american present is paying attention to what's happening in europe . because otherwise it's going to be america alone and the whole world against it. so with the french president says, no more kidding of babies and old women. there is no justification for that. i think the american presence is going to start a heating not on his own public opinion. the majority of which ones to cease fire,
10:28 pm
the category it wants to cease fire, that international community wants to cease why. now the only 2 people who are interesting and also to cease fire is the german chancellor. because he has a, as you know, he has a history, not he himself has gone through as a study that is sort of, you know, a recording on the back of the palestinians. right. i mean, the germans have a conscious problem. they need to resolve it on their own, the kind of thing as need not need not pay the price of what germany did do the jews 75 years ago. well, the comment that's come out with this is, according to the retros news, 18th agency, the in used top diploma. joseph burrell has released the statements and he's uh, calling for immediate pauses to the fighting in the strips, stopping sort of calling for a ceasefire. none of you don't think about nowadays these poses are taking a new meaning right? in the beginning, my understanding of forces is there's a way to put the our weight to continue. the war ceasefire stops. the war.
10:29 pm
humanitarian poses continue to work, but now more more they gotta pianos are coming of a new interpretation of a humanitarian pause. immediate one more and more pauses for longer, longer hours, leading to cease for. so the, i just want to start the process somewhere so that it can get to the hospitals so that babies can be saved and so on, so forth. so there is a new interpretation to this, you know, mystified concept called humanitarian pauses. at the beginning it was not serious. now people are trying to use it and all that to bridge between an ongoing genocide, an immediate cease fire. is there serious? i don't think these read these are serious. not everyone else can be serious. there is. this was the, you know, it's not a wisdom, especially at the model on x to predict the news or, but there is always the man is, i says, the world could say what it, once we do, what we must, they don't listen, not even to their background or to their financing to their support to enter their, you know, on dealer the united states,
10:30 pm
they're not even oceans of them. so once again, the international committee has said it's worked at the united nations $5700.00, but most them insurance company said that and said that for the and the west and public opinion said it's worth it's up to the united states now. do use this leverage with is read in order to force the humanitarian pause or a truce leading to i. c, spy it. otherwise we're just going to be repeating ourselves. while mortified, a seniors are dying, and these are, it is go with a more and more work model on. uh let you go for now because we're going to bring in rosalind jordan with us. she's joining us from washington to see, to tell us more about that phone call that was held between president biden and the emperor of cuts our roles and the phone call i read out is coming from uh the a mary d one. we don't have a separate to read out from the white house as of yet, but it covers the points that i would expect. our viewers would expect to have been covered in this call,
10:31 pm
mainly trying to keep the border crossing at rafa open the mirror according to the read out from the mary to one. once that child crossing to be opened permanently, a call for a cease fire from dakota reside the us today has not endorsed a ceasefire, but instead is in support of a number of rolling pauses in order to allow the palestinians inside garza to get out of harm's way and the ongoing or reaffirmation, according to the statement from the married, the one that both leaders appreciated and applauded. the continuing strength of the us called her relationship and of the need to continue this process, particularly at this moment of crisis rush. um we just have about 30 seconds or so. i mean, i wonder if you can put this in context for us and looking at what's happening in the warren guys and talk to us about the significance of this phone call to the
10:32 pm
significance of the phone call. is that there have been criticisms from some within the political firm. remote here in the us about the us is ties to cutter and about cutters, role as a mediator, as an intermediary, as an enter, lock it, or particularly with him off as this crisis has expanded. and there have been questions about whether the us should be having these ties. it's significant that the u. s. president and the mirror had this conversation saying because it's a very public reaffirmation of their close talk. thank you so much, rosamond for that update from washington dc. we'll have more news on al jazeera at the top of the hour, all the updates from gaza, but coming up next, it's counting the costs. thanks for watching by the the civil stating strikes, followed by through all week rescue because that's 1st responders know the mission

but absolutely these, these companies are let's shift prices. obviously dr. conflicts, especially just sort of conflicted. we're seeing an in palestine the moment whether is a constant need for new equipment, particularly what we call them. and so miss housing balls because as israel drops the bones and gauze that they need to replenish this, that stop immediately. so that is a huge boom to these companies. so you'll see a company like lockheed martin has seen an increase of 18 percent in it share price over the past month. and since the 2nd, the 7th of october, and is it us companies, us contract is mainly who are benefiting from this, or is this your opinion manufacturer is an u. k. manufacturers as well? so the prime beneficiary is obviously the united states. what is sometimes referred
10:38 pm
to as the military industrial complex of the defense companies. in the us, the us surprise anywhere between 70 and 90 percent of or israel military hardware that it imports from outside of israel itself. back britain, germany, italy in particular followed a fairly close behind for the remainder of that. so companies like be systems to some crook. leah nowadays with benefits alongside the lockheed martin's and those are brahmins, the race young t x as it's not cold. and general dynamics say, it's a combination of american companies and european weapons make is, as we heard me mentioned earlier, i mean we've, we've had how some defense companies been criticized for framing the israel gone goal is the conflict is good for that bottom lines. but they are all in the business of selling weapons all day. so it's not a surprise that who is good for business. well, no, it's not. but it raises
10:39 pm
a whole range of questions about the morality of this business. i mean, how i describe the business and in my book is a business, the concepts, profits in the billions, but it's last is actually counted in human lives. so i don't think the fact that war and conflict is good for the business. shouldn't necessarily allow us to say that, you know, when radio archie etc, of greg j's says, as he did just the other day, the fresh new contracts resulting from israel from bottom into gaza would mean that across our entire portfolio. we're going to see a benefit of this restocking. is this the who left the most the hook? and in fact, it's even arguable that they might have a chase to answer for in terms of possible complicity in violations of international humanitarian law and will crimes. when it comes to the u. s, i believe us defense contract as need approval from the us government to sell weapons overseas. so does that moral decision then full on the us as well in some
10:40 pm
senses, but the reality of almost as full control in the us and in europe and countries in the united kingdom is that these controls. while larry exist on the paper, in theory of betty utilized in practice. so for instance, united kingdom, a few years ago issued what it calls an open license for export to israel. so we did actually know the quantum military equipment. and as i spoke to israel, because this license allows companies like the systems and others to export as much as they want, who is really without any sort of hold authorization. the same as just happened in the united states, were they talking about the mass of new $160000000000.00 authorization and to a number of what it would describe. ready frenzy or allied countries, but in the case of israel, with a $106000000000.00,
10:41 pm
almost full 1000000000 if that doesn't require any authorization. actual says the model impetus lies. those with lawmakers and the executive members of government for effectively giving themselves free rain to exports as much as they want to israel, but also with the companies. and yes, it's good for company business, but because you're going to get to the enhanced return for shareholders, doesn't in any way negate to the moral compromises of what your business is and what it's contributing to in golf estimate. and we now have 2 big ongoing conflicts, the war and ukraine. and of course, the israel guys a rule is that enough out? but is there enough weapons out there to meet the demand? a caused by these complex it? sadly, there is, there is more than enough weaponry that is produced in the world. 40 percent of it produced by the united states itself. there is more than enough western rate to go
10:42 pm
around in all of these conflicts. and we shouldn't forget that what the situation in java does is it also makes of the conflict prone areas like human, for instance, in a much more federal position. so it is quite possible that the security, the instability that we're seeing in palestine could actually have impact on young men, whether it has been both a formal and informal ceasefire face for a while. but the sad reality is that there is more than enough military material assessments to go around for the conflicts that are taking place and for any others that might arise and verify, seem very good to get your thoughts executive director of shot of weld investigations. thank you. i mean, well belgian transport work is unions. cold on my work is to refuse handling arms shipments for israel. they said loading or offloading weapons would means supplying
10:43 pm
organizations the kill innocent people. the union cited a genocide is on the way in palestine, while workers have seen on shipments going in the direction of the world. israel says it is targeting, hama a not civilians in gaza protests to supposing palestinians blocked a u. s. military ship allegedly carrying weapons. israel at the post of tacoma in washington, the of israel has received nearly a $130000000000.00 in us, secures the assistance since since creation in 1948. that's more than any other country in the world. now as one goes, intensifies more american wesson's, including smartphones and interceptors for the on the missile defense system of being delivered to as well. president joe biden has found to keep supplying the nation with what it needs to boost its defenses. democrats and republicans boldly
10:44 pm
agree on ministry. age is robot. both policies have attached conditions to the bill . how do you, jake has to reports from washington dc with just a handful of members voicing any qualms about sending more us military a to is real. the question isn't whether the us congress will approve, he is really aid, but rather how and when this is not about party or politics, is about the security of our world. security of united states of america. president joe biden wants congress to send $14000000000.00 to is real and is part of the same legislative package. $60000000000.00 to ukraine. the polls show public support for ukraine among americans is falling with conservative voters in particular expressing concerns about a growing us government deficit we want to protect or and help and assist our
10:45 pm
friend israel. but we have to keep our own house in order as well. the republican controlled house took on the 8 proposal 1st, removing the money for ukraine and insisting the money for israel be upset by budget cuts to the internal revenue service. that's despite warnings, the measure would reduce tax collection and i run equally, increase the deficit. so the house g o p proposal is not going anywhere it's, it's, it's, it's going to, it's dead before it even is voted on democrats control the senate and support keeping 8 for is real and ukraine together in one package and in a rare sign of bipartisanship most of the senate republicans agree a break from their party members in the house. everybody knows how strongly i feel about helping you. great and is really like, is real ukraine, what's the best dumb of an unprovoked attack by a repeat violent offender?
10:46 pm
so us currently sense $3800000000.00 a year to israel is sent a 124 billions since israel's founding. now the senate is strong of its own bills. that puts money for israel and ukraine together in $1.00 package, which is sure to tip a show down with the house version one that will have to be resolved before any money leaves the country. heidi jo castro for counting the cost. washington. joining us now from new york who's calling talk, he's the director for such a b c fun group, which is a global intelligence and secure st consultancy. and a non resident senior fellow in the national security program of the foreign policy research institute. thank you for joining the program. i think it may surprise some to learn that israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of us for an assistance since the 1940s with most of that money spent on military support. why have the us been giving is result so much cash
10:47 pm
a small rich country and for so long? well, it doesn't surprise me or, or most of the people in my circle. i mean, it's a common topic of discussion of is real egypt as well, receiving large amounts of us for an assistance. a lot of the dates back to the relationship with us being one of israel's primary backers and being throughout the you know, the us political system, very strong links between israel and the, and the united states as one of washington's closest allies for very long time. and is the bipartisan support for this ministry age within congress because it was some head was recently with the latest aid package. by and large, there seems to be bi partisan support, probably more. so for israel at this point then for ukraine is that conflict continues to, to drag on. oh, that was that. i think it's fatigue, excuse me. i think it's fatigue that the conflict has been going on for as long
10:48 pm
people are expecting different results. i think there was a lot of optimism that the ukrainians would defeat the russians. and now we're kind of fits the bright shiny object run to the new issue and people are paying attention to this until this gets old. it's, it's, it's really the kind of admin flow of, of, i guess, the amount of attention that the us public can pay to a specific issue at $1.00 time. there was some polls that suggest that they offer some democrats solve it in the minority who are not supportive of this ministry aid to israel. do see at some point the numbers increase very likely over time, especially as we continue to see civilian deaths. i mean, the numbers are staggering. uh, the images are, are horrifying. and so the longer this goes on, you know, frankly, i think, the more revulsion there will be at the just of the really highly for holiday count . and they will be growing calls for a cease fire for humanitarian pause and for diplomatic pressure to bring it into
10:49 pm
the conflict. does the us administration gave this ministry aid to israel unconditionally all that have yet to attached, for example, protecting the rights of innocent civilians. i don't think any aid is ever unconditional, even if there are fewer strings attached to the military aid to israel, it's always be something that any us administration is going to be looking at us is continuously attempting to have pressure. these rallies to, you know, to, to mind civilian casualties. it's just, you're, you're talking about fighting in a dense, urban environment which makes that incredibly difficult. and i think again of these images that are coming out or having a real impact globally, but also on the us population domestically. and as we see that we see rising protests and demonstrations, clicking on college campuses, calling for the administration to, to, to really try to press harder for
10:50 pm
a ceasefire. yeah, i mean, that's what i was gonna ask you. do you think we are seeing finding a moment where ordinary americans, even politicians are finally starting to question this a that has been going ministry a that's been going to israel for so many years. i really hope so. i think, you know, it makes sense to take a step back and take stock of where the united states is sending money and what that money's being used for. we saw this a couple of years ago with u. s. military aid and weaponry that was being sent to the saudis that was being used in the, in the you have in conflict. right. and, and, and just some of the, again, devastating images coming out if you haven't pressure building on the administration to pull back and pull that support to that conflict to, to, to the warning. so it's not conflict. so there's always going to be a reassessment. but i would also caution not to overestimate the, the us public's interest in foreign policy because the issue is that tend to decide
10:51 pm
elections or domestic largely. and so i think there's a fleeting interest at the moment and that likely breaks down a long demographic lots. i think the younger generation tends to be far more passionate that and some older uh, older generations and, you know, just look at the pole and uh for that for proof of. uh yeah, i'll pick you up on that. uh, the fact that americans, when it comes to basing are affected by domestic issues. i guess the issue would be if this ends up costing that bottom line. i mean, that's been some concern, isn't that in order to pay for this? it's people on the ground that may have to pay for it. yeah. a 100 percent. and i think if you look around the country, there's a lot of areas within the united states where people are suffering they're, you know, out of work. you know, food insecure and so there's a lot of questions of people saying, why are we sending all of this money overseas when we have so much work to do here
10:52 pm
at home? and i think look, that's a fair question. right? and that's something that should be part of the political debate. there was the 3rd republican debate in miami, and these are issues that need to be asked to politicians. right. who are running for political office? why is this happening? yeah, very good to talk. so you called and clocked direct to the research at the see fund . great, thank you. you is role is a significant gas producing exports at the countries in the middle east. the nation was aiming to expand its export routes to europe, off to the whole, to russian supplies. but production of israel, 2nd largest offshore field, was suspended on october the 9th. also, how much launched its attack on the country. rising during political tensions could hit investments in the wider region. i'm guessing israel's plans to grow it's exports. according to report by the consulting firm video, israel, the nations gas experts have dropped bike 70 percent since it shuts down the small
10:53 pm
field. that is with more than $200000000.00 a month to well, the field supplies the is ready market and deliver his gas to jordan, as well as egypt which provides gas exports all the way to europe. natural gas fields, all these riley coast accounts. so maybe 70 percent of its power generation as well is now speaking, alternative fuel sources in order to meet its needs. i'm doing now from us to do in doha by estimate hello, ease of practice, direct to the mina region, the global council. thank you for your time, sir. so according to these figures by the account and see from the d a is rails exports of natural gas is dropped by 70 percent. that sounds like a lot are definitely, i mean, a gas export from is, are all have plummeted by 70 percent. and the, the, the worst effected by this is it's, it's nearest neighbors. it's biggest customers as, as of today, egypt and jordan,
10:54 pm
the original volumes, reaching egypt now are 30 percent of the volumes that were reaching egypt. pre war . and egypt itself was the export platform and the export infrastructure in egypt. the location terminals there is real dependent on those to then we export, it's the gas to europe. so those exports are therefore affected as well. less is really gas is reaching international markets and internationally. this will create a bit of a squeeze. but with that said, we shouldn't overstate the role of is really gas and supplying it to national markets because it only accounts for less than half a percent of international gas supply as compared for instance, to a place like thought that we were sitting today. which accounts were 20 percent of of global natural gas supply. but in terms of israel's own needs, is it good to have to find alternative gas to fill the gas? well, for israel's fortunate and the sense that it tomorrow isn't the only active gas
10:55 pm
field, it's. it's larger gas field also off the co, the southern coast of israel, the device and a much bigger field, also operated by the us major chevron can continue to supply, continue to step up. other fuels like resource will continue to step up and meet as rails power generations needs. so its energy security risks remain contained. but if, if the shutdown of tomorrow does become a pro long situation, then it will have to begin thinking about procuring gas internationally from other suppliers. it talks about egypt and jordan, to what extent are they going to be affected? well, respectively egypt and jordan, important a 7 percent and 4 percent of of their total gas supply from egypt. so after the attacks, those exports, egypt ground to a complete halt are committed to lee back now, but egypt will, is, is i would see the worst effected. and it has been since the summer when it had an unseasonably hot summer. and we can domestic production method, egypt was introducing rolling blackouts and has serious energy security situation
10:56 pm
on his hands because of a vist interruption of supply from israel. so egypt is now having to buy from it from becoming a net export. the natural gas is having to buy the energy tankers and then the supply from international markets. and what about here? because they were already seeing an issue in terms of russia and receiving gas from russian. they were looking for an alternative supply and the 10s israel. now will they still be able to fill that gap? that is where i was feeling. i think they will because israel was a marginal supplier of gas to your after the run, the, the, the europeans kind of rated the response to the russian shopped off of gas by diversifying their export base. so they went to guitar and are now signing in other countries in the us and signing long term supply deals. so i think they've, they've diversified enough to be able to, whether this shock now the war has caused a surge in,
10:57 pm
in european gas prices. and the dutch ford, the benchmark that's, that's looked at in order to gauge what's happening in the, in the gas markets. there are 30 percent higher than october, the 6th. but that's not just because of what's happening is really and gaza. it's what's happening in australia with energy, industrial action over there, and a, a shopped off in a, in a baltic region pipeline. so it's a multiple are to of, of, of factors that's causing a supply to be squeeze. it's not just as well. okay, those really good to get you perspective. i've met hello practice director mina region of the global council. thank you very much for having to and that is uh so, so this week get in touch with us on x full. me know us towards the, at mullins site, they use a hash tag, a see to see when you do, of course you can drop some e mail counseling costs that out of their adult. net is addressed as movie online at out. is there a dot com slash see to see that will take you straight to a page which has individual reports and links an entire episodes for you to catch
10:58 pm

10:59 pm
like america is less than the days of these days or is it just a different full? i think the democracy in the process basically entities do you feel that the fraction is already starting the g 7 in the us on one side showing the end, the brakes on the other. i think there is a huge piece of that to happen via the stores on top to how does they're examining the impact of today's headlines. medicines that are running out of our patients a loose we could see all the tests to go so we don't buddies, explorer, and abundance of the world class program. i don't think we have another decade before. machines are smarter than us. it's time to raise your lot international. so make us and world class john and bring programs to inform in spying on challenges here. so many politicians want to be the republican party is candidate for to any stand, a chance it gets donald trump, if our planet is burning and we're running out of time,
11:00 pm
