4:00 am
actually left in the early days of the world. i couldn't do this job without the best camera man best produces the best pictures. and those other people, the i rely on in order to be able to get that message out to the well the are you in resolution demanding an immediate cease fire and gaza is blogs. has the us uses it's vito palate in the security council. the on hard for so this is i'll just say we're live from the also coming up the palestinian ambassador to the un cruise. the result of the vote disastrous with millions of palestinian lives hanging in the balance. every fair to that day means lives. lots of people killed at an unprecedented pace in middle in mother and
4:01 am
sister. in gauze, the vegas ran the attacks, continue destroying the strips oldest musk please. international intervention and more aide grow louder and i'll just say are here's accounts of beatings and interrogations off the dozens of palestinian men from gaza strip spies. very full. since the united states has used its veto power to shoot down a draft resolution at the un security council, calling for an immediate end israel's war on garza, the vote was cooled off to you and secretary general antonio good terrace in both rarely used optical 99 of the un charter christian salumi reports from you and headquarters in new york. and the secretary general made his case for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and gaza, noting it's not just bombs threatening civilians,
4:02 am
but also a lack of food, water, and medicine. the risk of collapse, of humanitarian system is fundamental, the link through the complete lack of safety and security for all the stuff in gaza . and with the nature of the intensity of community audio patients. which as easy as we lead me, think of sex 2 people in desperate need to drop the united arab emirates, put forward a draft resolution co sponsored by 100 countries. it is brief, it is simple, it is crucial. in addition to calling for the ceasefire, it demanded the release of all hostages. 13 out of 15 council members voted in favor, but the united states be towed it as long as the laws clings to its audiology of destruction. any cease fire? is it best temporary? and is certainly not peace in any c as far as that leave some us in control of gaza with an ard palestinian civilians the chance to build something better for
4:03 am
themselves. the united kingdom abstain, citing similar concerns. russia and china was to be united states. that's a colleague is to show before the our colleagues from the usa have literally, before our eyes issued a death sentence to thousands, if not tens of thousands more civilians in palestine and israel. while others, including us allies, lamented the implications for international law as well as civilians. but it was most in foot proof unfortunately, once again, this council has failed with a lack of unity. and by refusing to commit to negotiations, the crisis in gauze is getting worse. and the council is not completing its mandate under the charter, it can move us to sit on. the palestinian ambassador said the future of the palestinian people is at stake. if you are against the destruction and displacement over the palace team, people, you must stand against this war are. and if you support it,
4:04 am
then you are enabling this destruction and displacement regardless of your intentions. the palestinian and basset are about to take. they issued to the general assembly while the united states and the other players in the region said they would continue to use quiet diplomacy to get more aid into gaza. kristen salumi aus is era the united nation? well, the 1st us retail on palestine at the un security council in support of israel was in 1972. america has blocked to un resolutions on the issues $35.00 times in more than 50 is 2 of those vetoes have come just the last couple of months during as rows. ongoing war on gaza, including the vote on friday. the us, as we towed resolutions on israel $47.00 times in old, including over its invasion of southern lebanon, as well as the occupation of the syrian golan heights. felt for the spanish is
4:05 am
a fellow at the institute for policy studies and all through the challenging empire, people, governments and the you and defy us power. she's joining us live from washington d. c. thank you very much for joining us for this. no great surprise. then i guess in what went on on friday at the security council, and certainly not a surprise the us had indicated before the resolution was even put forward that it would not accept any resolution calling for a ceasefire. what was perhaps a little more surprising was that the other members of the council actually forced the us to use it's vito. there's been a tendency, most recently for the decision to be made to simply pull the resolution off the table, take it off the agenda. so that there was no veto. now with a veto, there is a new rule in the general assembly that requires the general assembly to meet
4:06 am
within 10 days to discuss whatever issue was being vetoed. so that gives an opportunity for a new resolution, perhaps even for a stronger ceasefire call. and perhaps other things like calling maybe for an arms and bar go to enforce that the ceasefire. but such actions and the general assembly don't have the same weight that they on binding in the same way as a un security council resolution. nonetheless, a 100 co signatories, cosponsors raw the to the you a resolution a lot of extremely strongly voice criticism of these really military action does some kind of up swell of, of international momentums thoughts or potentially gain some traction in this way. absolutely. if we look at the legacy, for example of the, the long euro of ads, the anti apartheid movement around south africa. for many years, the, you to the us, vetoed every resolution in the security council that would have to impose sanctions
4:07 am
on apartheid. south africa, all those resolutions within taken up in the general assembly. and what we saw was that individual countries were not mandated by law in the same way they would be for a resolution in the security council. took up over and over one after another after another took up the call for sanctions against apartheid south africa. and eventually it became such a global reality that the us itself was forced to give in by the 19 eighties and go go forward with the same position that so many other countries in the general assembly had already of imposing sanctions. so it's not really true that there's no, there's no enforcement, there's no legal enforcement have the same time. but as you say when there are so many countries around the world supporting not only a ceasefire, but some kind of accountability for the israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity that are alleged to be occurring right now. i think that we will see
4:08 am
a very strong degree of pressure on the, by the administration. and what about internally as well when it comes to the by the administration. i mean, we've seen an increasing number of our senior members of administration. be more forceful in that criticism of elements, at least of what's going on in gaza. there was some reporting as well in the us media about senior officials within the state department, talking privately or at least anonymously to report as a really regretting, i think the, the way that that'd be in this very close embrace to try to influence is rilen and that not really being reciprocated by the, is raising the concern about us national interests and reputation. could that be some kind of movement from within, as well as pressure from without that's right. there's already a very strong movement that has emerged. i have never seen in my years of working on this issue. i've never seen anything close to this level of mobilization of people, of movements of institutions all across the country demanding
4:09 am
a ceasefire. right now. 80 percent of democrats president biden's party, want an immediate cease fire. 66 percent of people across the country say they want to cease fire. and we're seeing a situation in which just as the u. s. is so isolated within the united nations, the bible ministrations policy on this issue is completely isolated. here in the united states, it's gone far beyond now the individual high ranking members of the state department that we were hearing about. there's now been over a 1000 staffers of the us agency for international development usa i d, that have signed a letter saying that there must be a ceasefire. there are numbers of people within as you say, the state department. most recently, there were a group of over 500 staff members of congress who took a great risk. these are young staff who don't have much security in their jobs. who
4:10 am
said we are the ones who answered the telephone in our members offices. and we are seeing that our members, our bosses, are not reflecting what the american people want. most recently, just a couple of days ago. a group of about 40 young interns in the president's office itself. the white house interns anonymously signed off on very similar letters saying we can no longer be silent as we see the attacks on, on palestinians being waged by israel. so this level of opposition to the administration's position is very widespread ins and spreading even faster every day. right for the spanish in washington dc. thank you very much for joining us here. thank you. now is rose relentless, plumbing, also believe infrastructure continues in southern goss of the ongoing assault has spots urgent calls from gauze is government media office, the international intervention on board image just show you extensive damage. so it
4:11 am
may be able, i'm already must have provoked further anger among palestinians as milam officer pulse in rough uh the aid trucks plus through but do not awesome pools. the un is here, but to not always help. and so with adults, a line sick man outside the field, stung by the my husband dismissing, i don't know anything about him in gaza, where the communications are down. we don't have money to spend or to eat and nobody is helping us situation is dangerous. and where should we go? smiles here, all still possible. but with his 6 young children now sitting in a single tent, so not as the economy wants the well to intervene by as nice on the bottom right is what we don't want more retard. we want to take some life and know how many family
4:12 am
and friends have really low leaving the tail. so the con eunice hospital, the tiny baby, and i found it, charlie face in go with dust and despair. meanwhile, gauze as largest most historic, most rendered into rubble by the bombing. while spiraling smoke smoke as the sky line. the gunfire goes on. far above the cross keeps clean and there is little light left. so those down below the marks, i'll just add a. oh is there a list declared an area smaller than london heathrow airport as a safe space for garza's, displaced people to move to palestinians and being off to evacuate to a part of southwest them. town of, i'll know, i see the so called say so is only 6 and a half square kilometres in size smaller than britain's busiest airport start. as
4:13 am
soon as the latest from rough in southern gaza, the gaza strip had been on the intense east where the bombing do or the last couple of hours with use with the patient forces had to expand the military operations, of course, which are tweak, including also this house of garza, which considered to be one of the safe areas that the occupation had urged people to flee to a only more than $350000.00 units have been killed during the last 24 hours. with more than 550 others who had been critically injured. the situation right now on this house and the ongoing is really rate continue to be deteriorating as a very limited number of humanitarian aid had been allowed to enter. the goal is this trip today with around 50 human terry trucks had been allowed to enter the territory to help the people to cope with the often months of the israeli devastation and destruction. of course, the 2 or 3 not real far is the last chill,
4:14 am
tough for the majority of guns, which has to be also under relentless, plumbing, out the dates talk about soon. i'll give you a rough, rough law if this house of the goals district, human rights groups a calling for an urgent investigation off the video emerge of palestinian prisoners in gaza. stripped and blindfolded. israel says they are suspected fighters, but there's evidence that many of civilians, including a prominent journalist, comes on mohamad reports. dozens of detainees, you know, must service blindfolded strip, and surrounded by soldiers loaded onto the trucks. destination unknown, a hebrew voice describes to see the pro but a scene and activities of pharma critical. the 1st thing jump in my mind when i saw the pictures, the 2nd one was to be honest with you i, they treated, you know,
4:15 am
victor, nissan, those the way to address that or the present or so for i think the, this is your man. this is a torture, if the amount of torture and the motor then that it's a water crime and the kinds that goes to humanity is that all he calls this main suspected fighters. but at least one guy, a guy who is a junior this up can use it, but a lot of be deep suckled here along side several of the civilians that had stayed in northern does the b, i has a disabled daughter and a very old mother. so logistically, it was very unpractical and you decided to stay. we identified him amongst to us detained. we also identified at least 2 kids under the age of 16, both of them or 15 year old. and we identified to him, can we use of the united nations under a school man. we identified at least 3 entities. how about schools, the images,
4:16 am
criminal, and disgraceful? and is really government spokesman. so to defend the detentions, we're talking about military age men who are discovered in areas that civilians was supposed to have evacuated weeks ago. we've been calling for an evacuation of those . how strong holds is there a said the men seeing here we're facing corrugation, but blindfolded half, and they keep meaning that if mediation is driving outreach, how does that, how much did you say to our foreign ministers? i've been holding talks of the us actually state antony blinking in washington dc. and that security council vote notwithstanding they are calling for an immediate cease fire article hi and has this update from the state department in washington where the meetings been taking place. if you can read the room, their expressions, i think said quite a bit secretary of state entity blinking was, had a small smile in his face. perhaps one other person in the room was smiling. the
4:17 am
others looked quite grim. and the reason for that is obvious. they've been in washington dc for 8 last 8 hours, sending the message. they have one clear to man a ceasefire. now, so think about the timing of this. they come to the state department just moments after the us make sure that the un cannot demand to cease fire. so they're talking right now as we speak. and if they're saying to the secretary of state, what we, what they've said to press into some of the policy makers throughout the day is that they need a cease fire. now, saudi arabia said the ford minister from saudi arabia when i asked, is the bite administration doing enough? are you doing an you said nobody's doing enough, obviously, because the fighting is still happening. and there's a, we can't wait 2 weeks for the fighting to wrap up. it needs to end now. and he did go out to say that they were promising to hold the international community to account didn't detail exactly what that might actually look like. but did you already in 4 minutes or spoke to journalists earlier today and again at the same tag? and he said,
4:18 am
what's happening now is basically erased the last 30 years of work. he said, people in his region are getting angry or by the day and what this is done, he says, is made it so that entire generation of people cannot even imagine a peace process, let alone peace. the still ahead on our 0. you got 3 other times the joe biden is last is last week concerning the he's really hard to patient of guys. we meet the social media influences who was supposed to do his presidential binding, but have now become some of his loudest critics. the brought to you by visit castle had a lot of the for north america. we're watching a number of weather systems over the next few days. the 1st of that is moving

across central parts of canada, bringing some heavy snow to central areas like when it pay dropping temperatures down as it starts to push its weight for the east. now's the coolest at that is moving down with central areas, hits that hot edits rising up from the deep south. we all seem to vary for russia storms. the likes of that developing across more eastern areas. we are expecting some the storms last 3 wins and some very heavy rain that will eventually push towards the east coast as we go into sundays. so when warnings out for places like washington, d. c. now we go to another atmospheric river that's pulling into the west and pots of canada as what is the pacific northwest. some heavy snow here, very heavy rain dripping down into washington state. and on woods into oregon. by the time we get into sunday with that snow pulling its way across the rockies, but much quieter, across more southern areas, places like a california heavy rain. however, from that system dripping down into central america,

4:26 am
his license last week concerning the is rarely occupation of gaza at times. it's just leaves the show expressions that get his point across. and based on what i've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team and leads sympathetic to an online effort by some air of americans to boycott voting for bite and next year. know the data shows a lot of air of americans are pondering to 2024 election boycott under biden's middle east stains because it is so horrific and humane. millennials and gen z social influence, there's are increasingly seeking out credible reporting on gaza and finding it from palestinian content creators, people like montez adviser and others like him. people on the ground are documenting less the public citizen journalist who got like monetize, who was literally 24 years old. he's broadcasting us and putting this on tech soccer, putting us on instagram and people are watching it. he was, you know,
