12:00 am
the, the, [000:00:00;00] the come on serve any a, it's good to have you with us. this is the news. our live from the coming up in the next 60 minutes and attempt to stop the sufferings in god. the you in chief and folks are where power to force the security council back around the table. it is really here, a strike hits a home and a rasa in 7 guys are killing at least 18 palestinian is really
12:01 am
a strikes hit the chip, all your refugee camp once again, killing 22 family members of an alpha 0 correspondence heavy fighting across the street the street battles are taking place with his real intensifying it's round operation themselves, and is really forces area of more waves in the occupied westbank for the un secretary general, antonio gutierrez has invoked his most powerful diplomatic tools to try to stop the blood shed in gaza. he is directing the security council to discuss the humanitarian catastrophe and is calling for an urgent ceasefire. israel describe the move as a new moral, lo and said that gutierrez should resign. the diplomatic divide comes as the people in gaza enjoy the day of mass killing from north to south in just the last few
12:02 am
hours is really bombs hit this home near the southern city of ruffled that strike killed 18 members of the same family. it happened in one of the few areas it is real. have said was a safe so and in central guys are rescuers are desperately trying to reach people trapped under the rubble after and is really airstrike, hit the oh my god, the refugee camp that's in darrow, by the at least 10 people were killed by the blast. but many more are still missing . kristen salumi is at the united nations headquarters in new york christian, let's talk about this article 199 that was invoked by the secretary general. how does it work? why is the s g using it? yes, it's a little known and rarely used article of the un charter that allows the secretary general to put an issue before the security council without it being raised by
12:03 am
a member state. an issue that the secretary general sees as a threat to international peace and security. it's meant to be a way around any blind spots or any blockages in the security council. and it's the 1st time he has ever invoked it. it's the 1st time any secretary general in the last 30 years has formerly invoked it. and what the secretary general said in this 2 page letter to the council is that, that in his opinion, peace and security is being threatened by what he says is an impending humanitarian catastrophe. said the aid relief system is on the verge of collapse. and that the human suffering has reached untold levels and he's calling for the security council to enact to cease fire. that would be an international
12:04 am
law if it came through the counsel. something that is real would be required to adhere to under international law. and he does this, as the security council has been reluctant to act, shall we say, we know that the united arab emirates has been circulating a resolution that would be the 2nd resolution of the security council on the situation in gaza. the you a you looking for a humanitarian ceasefire, but that resolution had stalled and was not making progress after the united states publicly said the united states being a veto wielding member of the council that it wouldn't support further council action on gaza and it's view it was more effective and more important to keep negotiating with players in the read to unilaterally. that's something that the united states that it was doing. and it was clearly not going to support a resolution so without as the backdrop. with a worse ending situation. the secretary general stepped in and use the strongest
12:05 am
tool in his clay book, the equivalent if you will, of heading the panic button and saying we really need to do something here. there's a risk of the amount of change system collapsing and irreversible implications for the entire region if you don't act. all right, so we'll watch that space. we'll watch what happens and what is said at that un security council meeting when it happens, if i can get you to pivot to something else. now also happening at the un kristin, it's a palestinian ambassador rehab mentor, a massive to the when was just speaking before delegates of the international criminal court, the i c. c. what did he say? well, it's an example of how gaza is permeating so many aspects of what's happening at the u. n. right now this was the international criminal courts, annual meeting where member countries come, they vote for new judges, a new leadership. they set a budget and they have a chance to weigh in on different issues and pressing issues we heard from the
12:06 am
palestinian ambassador. and not surprisingly, he brought up the situation in gaza right now, palestine joining the international criminal court 9 years ago to get some ruling on what it does come. d to as a violations of international law in the occupied territories, 9 years on and still no decisions, no arrest words, no rulings. months were pointing to the latest violence, as in his words, violations of international law. in terms of targeting a civilian infrastructure, hospitals, medical facilities, the disproportionate number of children, wounded, injured, has been killed. uh, basically saying that the credibility and authority of the court is at stake. if it does not rule in this situation, they said that the court was set up to be
12:07 am
a court of last resort for a press people exactly like what the palestinians aren't going through. and it is their only resort. he said an appeal to the i c c and to kreme con the lead prosecutor, who's taken on these cases, but has again yet to make any ruling to issue any arrest words or to weigh in unequivocally on the situation there. so again, many aspects, many un entities weighing and trying to get some relief for the people of guys as this conflict continues. kristin, so when the reporting from un headquarters in new york, thank you very much kristen. we want to bring, you know, the latest on what's happening inside the gaza strip is real, is pursuing as unrelenting attacks from the north to the south of the strip. the new phase of israel's ground invasion is targeting hon eunice and the south. this has got the 2nd largest city. it is home to hundreds of thousands of palestinians who have been forced from their homes in the north is really forces of baffling
12:08 am
palestinian fighters from the cosign brigades and from islamic jihad in those areas in red there. there's also a heavy fighting and several neighborhoods of god, the city itself. all the fighting and troop movements indicate that israel is aiming to divide the gaza strip into 3 areas. the north central part of the strip and the south. our correspondence, our cobb was whom is in the south. he has more from outside the kuwaiti hospital. in rossa. the venue is ready, phase of confrontation of the we're at ropes is on starts as it seems, that the expansion of the military operation, this time had been directed towards the south of the goals district. in particular, the eastern area is offering units where the east, where the ground operation started. uh no, it's expanding towards to reach the main centered areas of this city which considered to be from the east very perspective as the main stand through places for the power steering fight as the are trying to eliminate and to destroy now as well as started. it's
12:09 am
a ground depression by destroying the majority of houses that are adjacent to the voters. and now there are intimidating residents to keep fleeting, to reflect district on the, the south of gauze, where the bombardment had been carried up against different residential buildings. were only incognito to city during the last couple of days more than a 53rd raise had been a tax and more than $50000.00. you have been killed. did you did use a separate air strikes now? the minute you with ration on this house are expanding, as also rough. our district has been under blue button is during the last couple of hours. 18 palestinians have been killed in an air strike in a shovel or a neighborhood. the roof of our district, which consider it to be one of the most densely populated neighborhoods inside the roof. which also bring us to the fact that the situation when the roof of my success as it is well, 3 shows on the south or expanding houses, 0 correspondents more mean
12:10 am
a show fee is lost to 22 members of his family and is really air strikes of trough, he lost his mother and father along with his siblings, his nieces and his nephews. when to jamalia refugee camp was bombed again by the israeli army early on wednesday morning. well means cousin was at the scene of the attack. a lot of a lot of a lot of sort of basel the some so so but of the measurements of the gun and the not gonna have job, we are going to shut off a hedge. i'm a man. why many shut off? i'm hung a was always go over the let who a quilt about for a spill. now, what are they all good? well, the initial all the semester from the
12:11 am
work that attacked the place and jamalia in northern. gotcha. and let me know. sure off himself was in fun, eunice, and southern gaza when that happened. and this is what he had to say about losing his family. well at the map of the step, my father was killed. he was 87 years old. he lived through the not the bar in 1948, when he was forcibly expelled out of his village to the northwest of the gaza strip . he was 12 years old then those bitterly painful events remained compton, his memory until the day he was killed. he used to recounts me the most detailed specifics, and he never forgot the names of his neighbors, all those who much with him and the forcible exodus from his village to jabante a refugee camp to the north of casa, has been carrying those bits of moments with him, that is why he refused to re live the same vicious events. he always said being expelled south around the strip. he held his ground to the last moment and preferred to die, holding onto his roots, especially since he was
12:12 am
a history teacher. he taught thousands of students throughout his career. so did my mother, who saved in the education field for 35 years. they always rejected the idea of forcible expulsion by the is ready, occupation forces that took the land. they refused to succumb to precious. they moved from home to home, refusing to leave the north. that was a destiny. and all i can say is that god is a rock. he is the dispos or of all the fees, and then go to the refuge. and from him only, we gain strength to the offices. here a media network has denounced the bombing in a statement. it said that it will pursue all legal steps to hold those accountable for this crime. it calls on the international community and press freedom organizations to work to put an end to these massacres immediately, and ensure a prompt justice for the families of the innocent victims. it is really security cabinet meeting now was scheduled for this evening, but it has been delayed. i'm the fellow with this in tel aviv honda. what can you
12:13 am
tell us? has it, has it now begun or are we still waiting for it to start? and when it does start, what do we expect that they're going to be talking about as well, that meeting now almost 4 hours delayed, the security cabinet has not met. but what we do know is that these really war cabinet is currently convening. now there were a couple of issues to be addressed with the security cabinet, primarily regarding the issue of humanitarian aid, continuously flowing into the gaza strip. we do know that members from the right wing coalition, like you to more bend beer, the countries national security minister, as well as best on his smart rich the countries finance minister are and have been against tremendous harry and aid flowing into the gaza strip. since the beginning of the war, and remember these are ministers who also were against the ceasefire agreement that
12:14 am
would see aid or saw aid rather flowing into the gaza strip. it's a more bend beer ended up voting against the measure. well smote rich ended up voting with it after being convinced by members of his coalition is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. when speaking yesterday said that the flow of continued a into gaza in no way decreases the leverage that israel has both in its more on the ground. and when it comes to negotiations for the captives, remember nothing y'all who, when his government are under immense pressure from the united states to constantly bring in a into gaza. additionally, they've been saying, but what is going in is nearly not enough. given the dire humanitarian situation that has on folded, we're not really expecting to hear much after the war cabinet meeting. but that security count, that meeting at this hour, still no sign of it happening. okay, while we wait for that security cabinet meeting,
12:15 am
then bring us up to speed also on other statements that have comments that the, the is really prime minister netanyahu has made. it is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu releasing a statement in 2 parts. the 1st referring to the captives calling on the international committee of the red cross to visit them while they are currently being held captive inside of gaza. he's been asking for a wellness check. additionally, for the red cross to bring them any sort of medications they might need. and the 2nd part of the statement address these really military goals are member benjamin netanyahu is under immense pressure from all angles. specifically, these really public for any sort of achievements in this war. we are now in the 16th 1st day of the war and these really military, it hasn't shown these vast achievements they have been talking about and claiming
12:16 am
that they've had. so in that statement, he says that these really army has surrounded the home in southern gaza, of him as head yes. yes. and want, and that he is a target. now he's trying to change his rhetoric in a way where he is showing that he is a forceful waiter and that the objectives of the goals of destroying him mass are still on the table. however, the is really is have not shown again these achievements, but they've been talking about they've been trying to apply this pressure, but it's simply hasn't been shown. so these really prime minister under immense pressure from all sides, including from his own population honda. so thank you very much. i'm going to discuss that now with luciano zachary. he's an associate professor of golf politics at the gulf city center at guitar university. luciano, thanks for being with us. we're heading. we're coming up on the 2 month mark of this war. and, and we're not seeing right now,
12:17 am
it doesn't appear that we're anywhere near a point where is real, could say mission accomplish. we're done here. you know, i mean, if the final objective ultimate, then you have us, do you mean, i mean, it definitely, i'm politically, how mazda we are not very close to that. cuz i've gotten best stated objective. exactly, but we are, we don't know exactly how this is possible. to be a i, to my spouse and how mazda is surrounded by people the, by normal people in the, in the augusta street. and there is no other way to eliminate physically, members of her mouth without killing cbs in the screen natively in the, in the substrate. so this is the, the, the endpoint of, uh, an invenio on this, the clashing with that much bigger resistance worldwide. it probably could be in the least changing as far as the the they were is being expanded. public opinion is changing while at the beginning was a betty betty. one means report to,
12:18 am
to the threat of, of the big, the 1st week of the, of the conflict. we see that even in that, you not to say that public opinion, not only both the democratic voters but also have a public. i'm both. those are expecting that the us is taking a different step in the, in the, in the, in the conflict that this contributing to solve the issue that the monthly color and that this expecting the us to, to, to push for more who might, on a, to reach gus huh. a and to some extent to reduce the media police report. please read if you read this very continue, they will invest. it's based on what you've seen the last 2 months based on the results that israel has achieved. and honda was just making the point that, you know, did that raises a lot of questions? what have they achieved? um, how much longer do you think this last? i mean, i know this is in many ways an impossible question. i it but, but we have to grapple with it because it's been 2 months and 16000 people killed and there's no end in sight. well,
12:19 am
the process is increasing both inside of this file and that will take forever. and what it keeps repeating everywhere is that the only one that can really push these slides to stop or to make a different decision is united states as possible by that. i misplaced them, just provide them here for us to support this. we not change. now we have on thing you with that was invoking article 99. we have a possible discussion in the group because it, but kind of changed to some extent was compressed of the us to have a different approach to, to, to what is going on. in gusta, we have blinking, and allison be some restrictions to east valley settlers that they are having violent behavior against a lot of sense in west bank. so we have minor changes that might drive to more optimism in terms of ad nobody who kind of do whatever he wants. we don't being accountable for what he's doing. and at some point, even inside israel, for me,
12:20 am
this of cost is for him. the hostages or even people the suffering. and because of that, they explained to them because you can make it then you have to say ok, now we have to. so we have to find a different solution. that is not only military, i'm not the only kidding in screaming that lead people to yes. yeah, we're seeing it to your point. we're seeing incremental changes in this, in the us support for israel incremental changes in their public statements. as you said, they've taken concrete action. well, they've taken action. it's been criticized certainly by the palace. the inside is being toothless, but they have taken some action to visa bands and against settlers who've attacked some policies in the occupied west banks. so there are incremental changes. do you feel that this portends, perhaps, are we near perhaps a tipping point for the us, or do you think we're still very far away from us, or perhaps it never comes. we're still very far. uh, i mean, we kind of expect that by then we do the same that the obama was doing when it was
12:21 am
president, that was really not very confrontational, a position in and in front of installing them sofa set the man. so i look, i've set the events so that it's a better. but me, what by then kind of do is to ignore what is going on. ok, kind of thing, ignore the mountain for us or i from international community i, he kind of ignore the public opinion from democrats and republicans changed into what to say night the states behavior in this that's all we are getting closer to the president's outcome, paying on by then, his risk in many things, not only a u. s. foreign policy, but also his own precedence. okay, incremental change. no tipping point. however, luciano sucker, i thank you so much for this assessment as we come up on 2 months of war here. thank you very much. thank. at least for palestinians have been killed in the latest is really raised in the occupied westbank. 3 of them were teenagers for one guy so began israel has the stuff gets raised in towns and cities in the occupied
12:22 am
with think our correspondent game this robbie has more from remodel on. just in the last few minutes we found out that rates have begun once again this evening in janine now in this, in the city and surrounding areas of the cabin jeanine razor on going in at least 116 year old has so far been shot dead, including the deaths we saw in rates earlier today that brings the daily that brings the current total of how many people have been killed in the honest card. westbank since the war and gaza began to $266.00, the raising the far, our camp happened the early hours of the morning. there were raids in the afternoon in the block, the refugee camp, where there was that 11 death of, of the posting in there, 3 palestinians were wounded, one critically during rates in the short refugee camp south of bethlehem. that was earlier this morning. 3 people were detained, several houses were stormed so far, the total number of the tensions in rates today is at 60. that's been the daily
12:23 am
average we've seen for several days now. and all of the rapes today seemed to be focusing specifically on refugee camps. in the us state department says it's really efforts to stop settler violence against palestinians and the occupied westbank are not sufficient. only a tiny fraction of attacks of lifted convictions in recent years. and the situation has got worse since the start of israel's war and gaza as charles stratford reports from carl. what benny has on this memorial months with 41 year old comp and to off load. i'll see with shot dead drilling electronic bodies ready settlers in the occupied westbank on december. the 2nd this video is off that day. you can see settlers smashing palestinian property was the is really ami stands by the settlers set by a to show his home where he lives with these 3 daughters. i don't know how good it, bennett. i keep thinking of my goals then. thank god they was going to be attack happened. this is my home. we all have live till 5 years brick and i go to the and
12:24 am
there are 6 illegals. ready settlements that a gradually expanding close to the village. and then these really all of the base is on one of the adjacent hills. many wisdom, the in the and most of the attacks have gotten more violent. would they open fire now without warning? there is no way to talk to them. the just shoot you an offer on the un who's recorded at least 380 is ready. secular tax in the occupied with bank since the beginning of the war. on october the 7th, at least 8 palestinians have been killed. witnesses tell us that on the evening of december, the 2nd, the group of between 10 and 15 is rarely settled as a number of them all to approach the village from this direction and began attacking these houses. they were soon joined. so witnesses say by a group of his riley soldiers who brought itself this road. when palestinians from the village came up to try and protect the property here, it's body was found down the hill and the only go around 3 hours later. he'd been
12:25 am
shot in the chest. witnesses say the leader of the attack was this man a levy. they say he's participated in numerous all the salts on palestinians in the area. but some of the sits with her now fatherless, grandchildren, and other subjects. i'm not, i'm glad. i mean, i've given him to god may god bless him. he's left a lot of children behind their friends and community members. also, their condolences documents, brother in law, hoping that we're afraid that more people will be killed in the village because the attacks have increased since the war started when human rights group say settlers at taking advantage of a right wing is really government that is turning a blind to light to settle it, violence a start, then we saw on a rise and incident because i think some of those felt like they had more confidence and less consequences to base. but since october 7th, i think that only increased and is because most of the, of,
12:26 am
for these kind of allowing that to happen. and also i think a big part of it was the homepage page. and the revenge that is really isn't that especially software. so that means increasing sets of attacks against palestinians in the occupied west bank of going on checks and on punished by these where the government molden ever the full child stop it. i'll just see at a total of many house on the occupied with bank a barrage of rockets for 11. no one has been fired towards a settlement in northern. israel's upper gallery area is, comes, this is really intensifies shilling into air strikes and the 11 on, in the latest cross border exchange of fire with his beloved st. ahold a reports from southern lebanon, of the liberties arm group has the law and the israeli army have been exchanging fire along the border for 2 months. now. as of late, there has been an increase in the intensity of the conflict,
12:27 am
according to the united nations peace keeping force in southern lebanon. in recent days, there has been a rapid and alarming increase in the violets. it is warning of dangerous consequences. on tuesday, there was a significant development that really marks an escalation of the is really army targeting and is a military position belonging to the lebanese army. lebanese army is not involved in this fight. this way, the army later said, as expressed regret and said that it wasn't this, the army soldiers were not the targets that they were aiming, as a threats close by. but that attack is being interpreted as a message from the is released to the lebanese state. because this way, the officials have been blaming the lebanese stay, telling them that they need to reign and has the law. now has the law is stronger than the states and the state has little say and influence over that group. but at
12:28 am
the same time as well. also targeted a form in the village of our noun, that's about 8 to 9 kilometers from the border. but it is also located along the latania river now according to and resolution, 1701 which was adopted up during the last war between hezbollah and as well in 2006, the area from the border to the tiny river should be d militarized. so as well, again, sending a message that they would like has belong to pulled back. so all this pressure to try to force hezbollah to pull away from the border. but hezbollah has made it clear that south lebanon will remain an active front, as long as, as well as the tax on gaza continues. center there, i was busy to southern lebanon. and on group in iraq says it has launched an attack on a base used by us military forces. the group claims that successfully targeted the high rear base in your bill that's in northern iraq using an arm drone in response to crimes committed by what it's called the enemy in guns. there have been dozens
12:29 am
of attacks on base is hosting us forces in iraq and syria since october. the 7th. still a head on elsa 0 at 10 city along the southern coast of gaza. thousands of people are seeking shelter, but there is no safe place the the hello, it's going to be a washout for western europe up and down the continents. so here, let me show you. let's begin right now in the north, where there are weather alerts and play for both the rain and wind across the islands of ireland and britain. again, this one is going to be a washout. very soggy forecasts look at scotland and abroad. 6 degrees. big pulses of rain there. same goes for the south. we've got dispatch of wet weather from northwest spain, sliding down the coast of portugal and pushing into spit enough for portugal. second, highest level alerts issue for rain fall here. so you know,
12:30 am
it's going to be bad. we're talking about snow for a hungry, a snow storm in budapest, by the time it's all said and done. i think 10 to 15 centimeters of snow on the ground. let's go to greece and turkey. it's still unsettled. here we've got pockets of showers and goes through the eastern mediterranean, and that's what weather is also pulling into the events of to africa. we go, looks like we've got some unsettled conditions for the coast of libya breezy as well for the northwest. and if i take you to southern africa, some big storms lighting up for that eastern side of south africa. and meantime, windy for the northern cape providence. that includes up in 10. and the winds have shifted around in botswana. so that's press down the temperature and have your own a to 33 degrees on thursday. bye for now. the thought provoking on. but the patient doesn't have time to wait for the extremely unfortunate,
12:31 am
but there are no quick wins and events or research hard hitting interviews. do you feel like america is the best thing to do since 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 and the brakes on the other. i assume there is a huge piece of that to happen via the stores on talk to how does it to submit to the world slow down. we stand firm as homes, with tips of global nickel reserves. indonesia is points to leave the global, the battery industries. we definitely manage our abundant resources and play a role in solar energy harness the offerings, 75 percent of global carbon credits essential, committed to environmental protection, enhancing investment climate, digital licensing,
12:32 am
your better tomorrow the you watching else is 0. reminder of our headlines this our, the un secretary general, has invoked his most powerful diplomatic tools to try to stop the bloodshed and gaza. antonio gutierrez is directing the security council to discuss what he calls the humanitarian catastrophe. and he is pulling for an urgency speier, palestinians in gaza or in, during a day of mass killing from north to south. within the last few hours. it is really straight killed at least 18 members of a family sheltering at home near rough us. this happened in one of the few areas. israel has said, is a safe, so was a 0 correspondence with me now srahi as lost 22 members of his family and it's really near strikes. his mother and father alone with his siblings, nieces and nephews,
12:33 am
were killed. and he is really army on the beach of all your refugee camp on wednesday morning. a no alpha 0 correspondent, an asterisk spoke to witnesses and surveyed the scene edge of all your refugee camp just after it was pumped. yep, that need be a few months, but it looks we're inside the jeep valley, a refugee camp where the is rarely occupation war plains carpet bomb the area in the early hours of wednesday morning. and as a result, dozens of homes have been leveled. many were killed and others injured. the underwater, the scale of destruction is huge then little by 2nd. again, this is an entirely residential quote on all who were killed iris and civilians. there's no resistance spot is here, we would compet phone deal and this is a very densely populated area with very narrow alley. yeah. the magnitude of destruction is indescribable. as you can see,
12:34 am
there's no sign of civil defense change. but then as we were removing the debris with that bay hands, we regained, foamed bodies riley, will apply, and we cannot recover the wounded or even bury as the world has abandoned us. this is hell. and then is the north of guys that has been walked out completely, the smallest one that i mean. okay. and the oldest slate with my family together with the extended family cousins and the children gathered up my plates. and so a number of displaced people came to this building last night. now they will dead. under the rubble, i'm sure the shedding started at 2 in the morning, little were pulls out of the debris bio neighbors. some of these really mid a tree is continuing to compet bomb residential areas perpetrating one massacre off to the other against unsuspecting defenceless civilian
12:35 am
u. n. g says the situation and gaza is fast deteriorating into a catastrophe with potentially irreversible implications for palestinians and for peace and security in the region. he has invoked a rare power to direct the security council to meet with. joining us live from washington, d. c. is anthony around he is professor and chair in the department of government at georgetown university. so your thoughts on this emergency measure? invoking article 199. how do you read this? i think it's a very important action by secretary general gutierrez, as best as i can tell. it has only been explicitly invoked 3 times by secretaries general and 1960 in the congo crisis. 1979 and the running hostage crisis and 1989 in the lebanese crisis. so it's something that is rarely used by the secretary general. and it seems to me, it is the secretary general clearly indicating the urgency of the challenge and the
12:36 am
need to get the security council together to try to resolve the conflict. so it's a very important action by the secretary general. so he's forcing the decision makers, the countries that are members of the security council to have a new conversation about the war 2 months in. but they had 13 weeks ago they passed a resolution. so what do you think the conversation is going to look like this time around? the that's a very good question and while it is an important action of the secretary general, he cannot force the security council to adopt a resolution. he can force a discussion, he can bring the parties together and encourage them to read some kind of compromise. but because of the v 2 in the security council, the only way the security council can adopt a substantive resolution on this issue is if each of the 5 permanent members choose not to veto it, which means you've got to get the united states to go along with it, you've got to get russia, china, france, and the united kingdom to go along with it. and that could be very,
12:37 am
very challenging. but i think the very least, the secretary general will be able to bring up issues, present information, present data that will be presented, not just to the security council, but to the world as a whole. and hopefully at least i suspect is what the secretary general hopes, hopefully is we'll move to some kind of compromise resolution. what to expand on that point? i see so many of our viewer comments day in day out along the lines. you know they, they watch the death toll mounting. half the people were being killed was 70 percent, are women and children more then and the majority of people certainly are civilians . and so many comments are along the lines of wise and the world doing anything. why as an international community stopping this, can i get you to address that point as well? the problem is you need the will of the 5 permanent members to act. and i think you need a willingness to both condemn hamas. his initial attacks, clearly to identify them as war crimes,
12:38 am
to acknowledge that. and at the same tuesday recognize knowledge is that i feel the united states has not felt that has been acknowledged. none. and the reason that's important is because the us has a v to. so i think the united states wants that to be clearly established, clearly acknowledge, edit, the same time, to be able to call upon israel to be sure that any response is proportionate indiscriminate. and to make sure that the supplies that medical equipment, that individuals are being cared for the all those things take place to support the humanitarian mission that needs to occur. and i think in the past the challenge has been that the 5 permanent members have not found language that they could agree upon. that is both sufficiently condemnatory as a mouse. and at the same time, encouraging that all parties including is real follow international humanitarian law. now i think personally,
12:39 am
a compromise resolution is possible and one that would empower the united nations to engage in more humanitarian activities in the area. but it's a careful diplomatic dance to get the right language that all the parties would agree to. i think the secretary general is hoping that that language can be reached, but ultimately it's gonna depend upon the 5 permanent members agreeing on that. and we'll just have to see what happens. but i do think the move by the secretary general is important. it demonstrates the urgency and it may further empower the united states and other parties to try to reach some kind of accommodation, some kind of compromise, just by the way to the point that you were making at the beginning of your answer there that the us wants to see more and perhaps more strongly word and condemnation of how much i just point out. this is not a rebuttal, but just just adding this fact that at the top of the letter invoking article 99, that the un secretary general just released. paragraph 3 is exactly that. it is.
12:40 am
he's an equal the up. i'm us know, i thought the secretary general's letter was out standing. i thought the secretary general's letter was absolutely outstanding. and i would also come in to your viewers the floors page given by american senator john austin. he delivered a floor speech a couple of weeks ago in which he emphasized the moral clarity necessary, both on condemning him. mazda is attack and on ensuring that is really actions are compliant with international humanitarian law. but i thought the secretary general's letter was right on points, which perhaps suggested we could reach some kind of a compromise resolution, which would be equally on point anthony around we'll see where this goes and we'd love to talk to you again about it. when we have a clear picture of where it's going, your professor and share and the department of government at georgetown university, thank you for joining us on the program. my pleasure to come out. one is one of 9
12:41 am
hospitals still operating inside the gaza strip. it has come under repeated is really attacks officials. they're a say that the situation is dire. i'm a home it has more on that been able to operate, come in at one hospital, it's underneath that i. e, m. c. a lifeline. too many independent damian's in northern gods is that is very us cut off connectivity and what that to the hospital is really so just also targeting anyone who tries to leap or into the building does us health ministry sees more than 100 people walk eating is really strikes in the vicinity of the hospital in just 24 hours. it was name of to come out of the one top palestinian politician who was killed and then these are really right 11 on in 1973. the hospital was open in the last year in 2002, with a capacity of 106 bits. it's now putting beyond its capacity. and if way you look
12:42 am
that in get people waiting to be treated. the emergency unit is small and we are flooded by dozens, if not hundreds of victims. we are left with very little to help the many are left to die due to lack of medical supplies and shortage of staff. and this is the reality killing by the doesn't. yesterday alone, 36 were killed the day before, 52. and the numbers keep rising literally and a hundreds buried underneath the debris. the hospital is not only look enough that can get police teens. it's also sheltering at least $10000.00 displace palestinians without so refusing its premises from these guys. some buttons also with the dead broke waiting to be buried whenever there would be opposing. is there any updates? no one of my family survived. all those on my family brothers, sisters and cousins. i'm left alone in the flux. we cannot bury them in our hometown because of snipers. it is right has not given

a reason for besieging the command edwin hospital or why targeted its entrance on sunday keating for people and getting 10 out of it's a baby bottle in the basement is really forced is read it of she for hospital does a lot just medical facility last month, claiming there what, how much time it was beneath the facility. how my son, hospital officials denied the claim of the united nation sees no, and the guns a strip is safe. as is right widens it's assault on the territory. head of students in gaza, living in to deepening hara military operations, including bombardments, by is riley forces continue in north, middle, and south guys are affecting people who have already been displaced, multiple times, forced to flee in search of safety, but no place is safe. come at one hospital, it may not be safe, but for the patients and the thousands of displaced palestinians,
12:44 am
it's the only place they have them have the disease. thousands of displaced, palestinians have made the tracts to the town of alma y c. the area along the southern coast of the gaza strip has been deemed safe soon by is really forces, but rights groups reject that claim. as the area lacks any humanitarian aid, and many fear that it might be their final resting place. in front of the han reports. row by row, they stand just barely providing shelter to thousands of newly displaced posting. looking for safety from israel, compartment of concept. even if it's momentarily, the, the narrow strip known as l. milwaukee has become the newest tent city for displace palestinians as a desolate baron area. where all of its occupants have a tragic story to tell. so going to some of the my family was supposed to be
12:45 am
displaced from how much city this is destiny, but we are holding our ground. we only left when they started coffee for me in the city. when a towel is for levels, when we left our homes and all of our possessions were living in the open exposed to the feast colton. right? and there was no way to get them. l mossy is a town on the southern coast of the gaza strip. the area is only one kilometer wide and 14 kilometers and the many palestinians came to this area with very few personal belongings. and the scars of war is really forced to say the area is the humanitarian states. so write scripts on the ground to reject that claim. and say it's a dangerous false narrative. there's no food, no water, no sanitation, no hope. and i'm up to said my other over just as my husband was killed years ago, my only son who i exhausted my life for raising was killed by the israeli military
12:46 am
. who was killed in his prime murdered by that is really, i lost my husband, my brothers and sisters, and lately my son to. i'm left alone in this world. what to do, bury myself, i'm losing my mind. there is no expectation their situation will change. for now, they have each other, perhaps the only comfort they can take in these uncertain times to run a low hon. l to 0. still ahead on else 0. why president vladimir putin has been on a day trip to to, to gulf countries more on that after the break the this program is brought to you by city back the growth of bundle this for 40 years .

the district used by city,
12:48 am
by the great funds of fund that asked for 40 years of the support of the rooms. former president, alberto for you. maury, who have been celebrating a court ruling ordering his release from prison for him, already has been serving a 25 year sentence for corruption and human rights violations. the 85 year old was president from 1990 to 2000. he was convicted of ordering the massacre of 25 people in the early ninety's, while his government was fighting a left wing rebel group from one is to speak to mariana sanchez, who is in perused capital. mariana fisher. maury hasn't been released yet. is this? when is this likely to happen? is it likely to happen also what's happening behind you. 2 yes, i think it's going to happen, cyril, just about an hour ago. he's son and daughter cable and the pin
12:49 am
d r. y teacher at the jail. and uh, apparently they were going, they wanted to like, cert rusher in the jail authorities. we is their father, but there's been a several issues as throughout the day. the complicated to believe. first of all, the order that was issued by the most initial constitutional court was only signed by 3 judges. the other 3 didn't even know that this was an order a and the 2 of them even said that they learned about the immediate release as order for immediate reasons more each uh when the, when this was made public then uh then the um and then there was a question of the ability of this, of this rolling of this, the position by the, by the cords. and so the children, what do you want to switch?
12:50 am
start fresh or but what was really happening these time close doors is that the government really have to decide what they were going to do. they 1st said that they supported the constitutional court decision, but then they realize that this have serious international consequences. international consequences. that's where that's a kind of effect the economy in the country. so if they supported the entire american uh, provides fords willing, then they would, they would lose the support of the government house in congress as to govern and they wouldn't lose power because uh they would move the support of the fiji maurice party. so if they decided it to support the constitution, of course, and for some them, your role would face international consequences. and then that's what they have chosen that the room will now join the ranks of the countries like venice when the
12:51 am
and the guy that was in the get are, well, that'd be spies the inter american for, for human rights. so it is likely that the money will be freed as today and a few hours from now. he's an extremely devices, vigor, obviously in the country. so they're going to be some very strong feelings around this. talk to us about the families of the victims and how they are likely to respond to this. so that's right, 0 the, the families of the victims are the ones who have really pushed for did you worry to stay in jail for a year? think thoughts very hard to convince him and to keep him in jail because he was already he had been released in 2017 and then send back to jail in 2018 with the same do mandatory i'm part of but what happens now is that,
12:52 am
would you money deep zales without paying $1.00 single penny of the reparations. he has to pay for at least 3 of the cases. more than $15000000.00, which nothing paid a penny. he's not a great deal, but more than anything. what's the families of the victims say is that he has never acknowledge the rhymes that he told me that he just never really asked for forgiveness. and that's what, that's what is the worst for them. that's the pain if you will, for them because they really wanted the money to acknowledge the government committed those crimes. but you will basically leave the jail for now victoria. so no way marietta assumption is reporting from lima, the ruse capital. thank you very much. mariana. russian president vladimir putin has visited saudi arabia as part of
12:53 am
a rear overseas trip where he met chrome friends. mom had been sell mine. he's also been in the united arab emirates for the 1st leg of a trip that includes talked with the regional leaders and put in we'll be hosting a ring and president abraham racy back in moscow on thursday. suits in has been bolstering, is partnerships with gulf nations, as russia face is growing, i installation by the west, due to its invasion of ukraine. i was just there as diplomatic as to james bass. discuss the reasons behind putting his visit to the gulf region. and remember, that is the arrest warrant for um, for transferring ukrainian children from the international criminal court. and so there are many places that the russian president wouldn't feel safe to visits. he didn't feel safe to visit the south africa last year when he was going to go for the bricks summit. but these 2 countries visiting you a and saudi arabia not a signatures to the right statute. and so the, this is a place that he can go on. he seems to be pretty delighted, but he's on the ground in abu dhabi,
12:54 am
some of his statements talking about the unprecedented high level of relations between the u. a and russia right now saying that the u. a is the main trading partner for russia in the world. well remember you a is also pretty close partner with the us. so i'm not sure how this will be seen in washington because clearly they would like other nations to be imposing sanctions on russia. and yet there's a record number of taurus and the record amount of trade going on between russian. you a, the former british prime minister boris johnson, his face the day of questioning is that you case inquiry into the cobra. 19 pandemic, and the government response to it. fill in marks, reports as persons prime minister during the pandemic, johnson was se several advises, sometimes slow to make life or death decisions. mister john smith put his entry to the inquiry of the wednesday morning, was rapid. i swear by whom i should go swollen?
