courts and still our policy being repeatedly locked. but of course, we must be honest about the fact that even once parliament has changed a little here at home, we could still face challenges from the european court of human rights and strasberg. i told paul them in early today that i'm prepared to change all the rules and revisit those international relationships to remove the obstacles in our way. so let me tell everybody now. i will not allow a foreign court to block these flights. because of an in an involved kind of corruption in iceland as a roland, but towards a still visiting in the thousands. i says voltaggio ology is one of the key draws for tourists from around the world. is harry full such reports is driving into the honda of iceland volcanic exclusion zone. the town of green, the vic lies empty. it's nearly full 1000 residents. owed to leave in a hurry to this was shaken by some info of mag more on friday. the use of interruption remain high,

even without one. the us quakes warm is left wide scale damage. this is about much more than simply repairing the damage that has been done here, there is serious consideration being given to whether this place will ever be habitable. again, the exclusion zone includes one of the licensed most famous tourist destinations, the blue lagoon, ga assemble pool. if it's around the way to protect it at the nearby power plant, icons, tours, administer. so, so for our visitors have not been put off. the international airport is open and it is safe. and so we expect that we will have to just go to all the lagoons which we have all over the country. this isn't the 1st to iceland, the tourism industry, the 2010 interruption of a if you, if you could to cause massive disruption. but the purpose of the sparked global interest in iceland, geology that helps quadruple for an visit to numbers to more than $2000000.00 a year. 10 percent of them visiting iceland lava center,

a short drive from the side of that devastating eruption good was a huge disaster while it lasted. but after that with we reap the benefits, not the only and tourism, but also regionally when it comes to agriculture and other things. so i think that's kind of one of the message from icelanders that are used to this harsh nature. like if you treat major kindly with 22 kinds of back, they just kind of this mike feet in short supply in and around green the vic right now. but it nice been the live long line to live with and adapt to the powerful forces that shape that line harry force it. i'll just 0 green the big southern iceland. a rush that set for me, elizabeth trot. i'm coming up next on ologist. here is the stream and car johnson will be here in just on the 13 minutes at 3 gmc with more of today's top stories. thank you for watching the

it started out as a normal day, but as is often the case in the occupied with back, it turn it up loud. do you want to do thoughts? and so we were happy. it was a good day. then our car broke down, we got out to see what was wrong. the soldiers thought we were going to throw stones. they started shooting at us, i have took 3, put it in his right arm, the abdomen, and his left foot just a few months ago. a man and his brother, where the, where did team doing and now you rate that currently more than a $180.00 minus has in these rainy jails, many pres, littlest throwing stones at soldiers listing and sent them a potential headquarters. so this is the mentality by which they are, you know, sense of 310, and better cigna. maybe every premies are taken to prison inside israel. parents need to apply for a visitation for me through the red cross. and that could take up to 3 months. in

the meantime, the minor is cut off from the world, access to the internet, it is considered a basic human rights. it keeps us informed, to entertain, to allows us to connect with each other and the world. and that connection is especially important 3 times of war. and these forces and this is the stream, the we don't have internet, people can call the ambulance and the bombings all around us. so that will lead us hopefully that a disorder will be by the have you been that these are the most levels of why that . busy israel's war on gaza has taken on a multitude of shapes the bombing and the rays are only partial of the story. another less talked about weapon is connectivity,

or lack there of israel controls most of the electricity, as well as the telecommunications and internet access and gaza. first, it turned off the power lines, which made hospitals and even sewage plans to stop working. later, internet blackouts were registered across the strip, which made a dire situation even worse. we managed to connect with the one resident of foster on a job who is in the south of gaza strip. i have thank you so much for joining us here on the stream today. can i start by asking you after over a month of k us and destruction all around you? just how are you doing? i have just been texting someone. my credit is on the instagram and laptop my credit score and not in the gaza. strippers. when telling them that i almost forgot who i am and i almost forgot how my life used to be before the aggression and the

gaza strip started. i was just telling them that i don't want to reach to the point where i'm used to what's happening, where, where i wake up every day. when with the thought that, oh this is never going to end. i think that i've been trying my best to stay with together and, and you know, keep my strength and my energy and everything. but today's spending today after everything. but that's been happening for, for about a month now. more than a month now. and the officers seeing much to members of my family getting killed and in the air strikes and after losing so many friends. um i can really say that i'm about to lose it. honestly, you said you've been messaging friends outside of gauze. uh, how important is it to keep that connection alive right now?

being connected is social. it's very important when, when, when the connection was cut off from the guys, this trend is cut off twice. completely of the fact that it's very weak right now. but when it was cut off completely, i remember that i felt like i was in an open in the i swear to god, it's almost funny. felt like someone has done the grades for me and told me to just stay there. you know, i felt like my hands were tied, my mouth was shocked. and that's there's nothing i can do anymore. and i remember that's after the internet came back. that i bet you was everyone's isn't firefighter is we're moving people on the street to him. no one was able to call them when no one was able to pull the envelope,

this is the husk instead of them. there is an attack and this specific area, please come and be comfortable with the pick up the injuries. no one was able to do with us off off, would you say this is perhaps another tool of war need they are trying to break the experience of the palestinians up more they saw the bombing in order ceiling and destruction still keep the pot of cmt for space, i even know that there are no key now, but the way it is produced of which was cutting off uh, the connection pump key of the palestinians in garza then went onto bombing the happens that on top of us, that's being used in houses and, and so much more so that people don't even have any electricity anymore whatsoever . and then targeting looked at when they start the targeting be kids just they start the target, think shots,

the are they are trying to do anything. they can not need to close as much instruction as possible and as much as the chris us was to break up the experience of the kind of thing and score skills in their home. when things the listening and resisting the displacement of experience of, of the. 7 of owners or our thank you so so much for taking the time to speak to us here on the stream. let's now bring it to more voices. 2 very important voices into this conversation. i'll put tucker is the executive director of net blocks. a cyber security monitoring group is joining us today from is stumble and near not l. hawaii. he's a, she's a journalist and author, we initiated connecting gaza to collect and send a seems to people there she has joining us from cairo. thank you both so much for being here and we're not, we will talk about the incredible movement you started in in just a moment. but i'll be if i can start with you. your organization has been

monitoring these blackouts in gaza and on october 27th, you said that you observed a large single, the largest single internet disruption in ga, the, since the war started. and we have a tweaks that you put out a tool to or near blackouts of the internet service. can you help us understand the graphic that you guys tweak to that day? what exactly are we seeing over here? yeah, that's right. so on the 27th, we tracked a very significant, a major disruption to connectivity across the gaza strip. and this was unprecedented in terms of what we'd monitor, both during this conversation. and before, if you take a look at the chart, you can see the observe who connectivity levels. so what these represent a really an outside analysis in real time of connectivity in each of those regions . and you can see the sooner the connectivity,

the at the beginning prior to the 7 is fairly stable and then you see over time, at the very start of this, come to get see a decline in connectivity. now we know that the decline is attributed to a couple of reasons. one of them being let me saw strikes from israel and the other being the population flight as people leave the terrace, right? so you have those 2 factors, but then on the 27th, you can see a very significant, a major disruption from us connectivity, just blacks out. and this is links with a major military operation by israel that coincides with that time. and so we know that these instructions have been implemented during those times for generation of some 36 hours between the 27th and the 29th of october, the side of break major impact on people's ability to communicate. and the 3 limits of the wells routes to understand those of what's going on within the territory. so obviously a huge impact and i,

i know you guys have also observed other blackouts since then. you know, that's right. so this was an isolated incidents as we continue to monitor. we try to follow the instructions on 1 november on the 1st of november, just a few days later, which last at some 9 and a half hours or so. and in terms of the mechanism that was devoid, there was face similar, identical to what happened on the 27th. so we now know by the 1st of november that the same thing is happening exact. same thing is happening again a 2nd time. we can tell from the fingerprints of this telemetry, that is an impact to the exact same exchange of the same network and it's having the same effect. sometimes websites will near total blackout for the residence of the guys and strip. and then again, on the 5th of november, we said it was time. same thing happens for the 3rd time, this time for 15 hours. and so you know that we have these 3 major blackouts in

effect. and now i mean the, the fact that we see these lines kind of coming back up again. so it means that obviously some source of connectivity was restored after these lockouts in my understanding this correctly. because if this was the damage to the infrastructure, then that's it. the internet is gone and it's gone forever, but the fact that it comes back does not suggest that this has some kind of, i don't know, a technical trigger is behind these lockouts. all right, so we need to take a look at the main mechanisms of disruptions to understand what's going on here. i mean there's really 3 main causes, what's the, the destructions, and we have the power outages. we have the kinetic impacts of the war or the fight to. then we also have these rails ability to uh, connect to disconnects the district at will. this is because the causative

relies on is ready to connectivity or not stream. much is it relies on is ready power when it's ready, resources due to the job field, the situation. so there are many hallmarks, many indicators here that these have been technical mechanisms used to disrupt connectivity. and what we know for says, and these are the same thing, has happened in each of these 3 incidents. so in terms of a reason for this, you know, if it'd been data surface structure, it simply wouldn't have been possible to get prepared statements from the providers . also say that they don't know, they didn't actually apply fixes that brought back the connectivity. so there are very strong indicators that this connectivity has been disrupted from the outside with intent. uh huh. i mean, you mentioned impacts and if i can get near now on this, we talked about obviously the emotional toll of just feeling completely cut off from the world. but that has also very practical implications. and i, i imagine you have been hearing about these implications in your work as well. and

we're now of course being guides related to being joining in uncertainty of not being able to communicate with the outside world or with your family members or legal loved ones, or even the hospitals and the ambulance. this is, it is for me, it all pages and the if you want to the we're trying to make it in the got the um, i've been connecting deeply since the october 28th or 29th. uh we have been, we've been connected. we have connected more than 20000. um, it seems um it, there are now actually because in garza and we are fine take time to go next to more people since the yesterday. and because they are there is supposed to be a huge possibility for the communication and the instead of math to go for it i told

to black out, due to lack of you in the, in got that many, many, many in network provider like go, what do you do and as a way to definitely stay in the the providers. how about the published yesterday, the option to statements on the social media thinking that they are going to be a company called off from providing the communication and the internet access due to the lack of fuels. so you star, so this alone, but you, you now have a team. i believe you have several people with you so you can keep this the service operating 24 hours a day. a yes, larry team, all of the 11 people so far because it's hard to um, to grow your team when, when it comes to protection of privacy of the donors, the games and also uh, being in direct contact with people in guys that to protect their safety so i have

to be sure to 200 percent of each and every member might be sure. and how, how does this idea the idea of connecting gaza? this movement was started. how does it come about? um, actually i was in um and, and try and uh to, to next to the thing in the crescent for the nation with the egyptian best preference with the star name, the name of the company in a box. because if we can do that, you can provide internet access through his company to the obviously and or what can i vision and get that bus. we seem to print the request and leave it on in a month. we do to one of the leaders in the, the occupation army and that he would not throw evidence. he would not provide internet access without the permission of the usa and,

and which made me so angry. and i was updating my hardware step by step. but through that, the big waste of store link and one of my followers to additionally been used, she said, that suggested do what do you think of him? good at work and i was like, well maybe we can. so i told her to 70 to you soon as try and i kept pretty scrolling next to find any, uh, people from guys that uh, who are connected even with like we connection so we can try on that 1st to isn't uh, these 2 people are doing in a hospital that's the and beautiful daddy and i've sent them that it seems and it we successfully and we've provided them with more isms to provide to the teams and people around them. and then i, uh, i posted like a foot can use a call and coordination ease of explanations on my uh, personal account. uh and thousands of people around the world get sending me

donations up as you are codes and use demonstrations as well. i have to um, to create an email, an e mail address, especially for a receiving that donated isms and then and then the community just just grew and grew kind of can i ask you a very briefly what, what i mean if things are a relatively new technology, can you explain just a few words, how do they work? so and an eastern is like, and the non physically, uh, sim card that has an extension extension of your internet package and calls back its, uh through your number. so when uh, when i person in europe or you as a or her the where is it by and is simmons. so he buys the extension to view the package that's going to be the was um for roaming. interesting is fascinating. i

imagine that you are going through quite a lot, as you said, uh you, you, you barely have time to sleep. you have to bring other people in. i would like to think of both of you very much for joining us today out and we are now for your time. uh no, not because you are so busy, we're gonna let you go and we wish you best of luck alpha you too, of course. and i would like to uh, now turn me to another guest, a very important guess today as well, to help us uh, put this puzzle together. door home, i will send him, you are joining us from dc. he's a writer and a communication specialist. and you have family inside gaza right now. can you tell us about how you're getting by and, and how are you managing to connect with your father and your mother and gaza?

very, very difficult. uh, unfortunately, you know, uh since this uh, the question i started, i guess the cost of only much to tear to most of my parents and for them to hear my voice. maybe $3.00 to $4.00 times. which to me is on the line and someone was always in touch with this family. calling my mother my father almost in a daily basis. a sort of a situation has been very, very difficult. precisely because of the things that you know, uh because that is because i haven't mentioned to me, is it just the question of the internet connectivity and our ability to reach our families. but also by far by, you know, as like a messenger or even the text messaging over the data bands. but also that was that more of been severely impacted by this to the point where it's very, very difficult to make these kind of holes. mm hm. can you tell us a little bit about, about your, your mom and your dad? we're seeing them in some photos right now. you know,

i'm my mother and by the step with to my siblings, my mom is in her late sixty's and she's a blind woman. my father and it's at 18 years old and it's paralyzed along with them to buy some lakes are younger sister, an older brother, and their goal is to bring currently in our household. we are sheltering 3 more families. a, you know, been, would be displaced. my goal is to be towards sort of the cities that we are faced and then about which is finding the adult, the cost of the situation, but a happy that's a is incredibly unbearable and inhumane. and i'm thinking fine, you know, the, the, the electricity, the lat, whole food with my parents, and specifically, you know, all the people who live with disabilities and on understands unfortunately also the medication is quite certainly a lot of people that there will be a so needed sustaining as it goes for everyone in the task that they mean that the situation is going to be more so composites for those living with disabilities. but

it really is a spot for a 2nd for someone likelihood of just above was also endorsed. and what they're doing, for example, the 2014, which is really doctor visits, the doctor, i am john and, and got some pain. they and they are thinking about going door and even at a distance and, you know, or for me that question for an activity remains very, very critical. and you're not talking about the eastern, which i think i've been very, very useful. i have, you know, managed to get it seems to my sister and the color step. although i must say, i mean you've been installing. those is why haven't partnered with exercise. what physical without a connection to begin with installing can be difficult. and even though it worked for some time, it didn't work all the time. so it really is a bit of a hit and miss so far as oh i, i believe you know how the is really controlled. the goal. sure is you don't mind

insisting itself, it's not just the question of the occupation, but my aide and all of the policies that we see. oh, there is such a thing as a digital occupation all this together and you start to acknowledge useful occupation and toner because as i mentioned earlier in the ghost of specifically there's no control the information you just input structure whatsoever as open the control center as well mm hm. even has to do better. even though it's a, it's a, it's a, it's management. i don't think so. but it really is. up to the use reactivation authorities, how they're going to be, is available or not available in kindergarten, sir. but let me see what this particular situation, you know, with all of these laptops that happens. uh, is it something you'd be something starting to use any higher offices that were committed against the goal is to so it says why, you know, predictable in a sense. but it's also been bounced austin decent practices that are pursued as

a natural intent and policy. and then as we all know, everything is on the ground is governed by international law and the laws of war relations of what. so what do i want to see and since you can just do this by nations and products and, and of course, according to the un internet access is a human rights. and when that was interrupted in gaza, nobody was quite sure it was actually happening. so this was one of the only way residents got information, a message that replaced the traditional call to prayer. take a look the the door how, how powerful over to of war would you say this is going to be talking to someone

who usually opposition authorities to, to be able to really match that way. people are communicating the reason portfolio altogether. i've seen, you know, people on the ground have tried to find alternative ways at the end of the day. but the fact that these we occupation authorities about how to begin with is destroying something. and so far that you are truly controlling whether people are going to be saved from under their bubble or example. and i'll share with you a very quick story. i am here based in another space on a website with some friends who are on the doorstep web based here in the united states. the, the, their families home are willing to their families for long uh, doing the is really a sol, so foreigner goes to and he wants to extend our thank you you're in the us because we all sprint off from different towns and that goes to originally asking

us, if we could spread the word about what happened to those families, but it's at home because it was not there, spread the word of a 100 english to missions to rescue people from of at least of all. so i mean this, this to show which is also been easy to control, the people communicate election day. they are all very, very impactful and a very negative way regarding the longer the step. so you must certainly be able to communicate about developments. you're not able to communicate about saving people's lives, you're not able to communicate about what might be safe or not where it might not be safe for people of all of these details. so i really, as it is, but difficult about a new way. i'm so sorry to interrupt, but we have a very limited amount of time less less than a minute. can i ask you if you have a message, i don't know to your family, to the international community. you can deliver that message through us right now.

you know, i think 1st and foremost in everyone's mind, it is imperative on every want to, you know, ensure the safety of a lot of people and it will be in the city and everywhere. so i mean, the costa, i know that there is a low consensus around a cold or a ceasefire. even though such a government failed to represent the cause of their own people. in that respect we, you know, i remain vocal and afraid permission. i mean that they remain safe along with everyone else and working individually is concerned. as you mentioned, it is a matter of human rights as has been mentioned at the door by the emissions. so when we look at this particular situation, so always remember that any violation of it is very well the attempt them out to war crimes committed by the door. hon. thank you so so much for joining us, especially in this difficult time and special thanks to me. you're now off and of course off off and thank you for watching. don't forget, but if you have

a comment about our show, you can talk to us on social media. if you have an idea or a topic that you like to flag for us, we welcome your suggestions. any time can use the hash tag or the handle ag stream, and we will look into it. take care. and also using the this is the real, this is so joe, and this is, this is just now that you heard, it seems that here from the area of where we are constantly and ask along being fired from the areas that the goal is to strip. and they have been targeted by because really very close to the gospel that we've seen a lot of times last fall. but i will say we are seeing increasing numbers. this is giving a picture of what kind of to be on this front. a we

look at the world's top of business storage, from global markets to economies, and a small business sales force and including security around the world. is there something that the international community your view should be doing to understand how it affects the law? counting the cost on o g a 0 the and they've given the doctors and i'm told the doctors and nurses and the personal opportunity to get out of harm's way. the u. s. president maintains that how a mass is operating from causes not just hospital without providing evidence. it's very forced to still inside the compound the

carrie jones to this is i'll just say right away. last unto side coming up nice a nation security.
