save lives, a be fair to the lives of most and there are more, it is really range in the occupied westbank novelists have run on talk to you or targeted also from a separation wall to segregated roads. we explain why israel is accused of imposing apartheid on palestinians. the it's 9 gmc about to 11 am in gaza, where israel's attacks on the palestinian territory have been on relenting. thousands of people including children, were killed after more. is really a tax on the city of con, you and us. more than 17000 people have lost their lives, have been killed since the bombardment began on october the 7th. and that includes almost to a 1000 children. despite the rising death toll,
12:02 pm
the us vetoed and un security council resolution calling for an immediate cease fire in gaza. while israel has declared an area smaller than london heathrow airport as a safe space for gauze as displaced people to move to palestinians are being asked to evacuate to a part of the south western town of milwaukee. the so called safe zone is only 6 and a half square kilometers in size, honey, before the joining us from going off in southern guys. honey, i believe you're just outside of that area and milwaukee where people have been told to evacuate to. but the issue has been, we've been hearing over and over is that palestinian simply don't trust is really is when they tell them to go through a safe. so yes very. and we are still at the mall osbee, a newly designated uh, same various supposedly safe area in western uh city. oh,
12:03 pm
rough by how not just the state thing. desperate situations for free vaca lease, or coming in from different parts of the gaza strip. we, we did walk an entry of use, some of the people who are being, this is their 3rd time force diamond. i my family said this is their 5th time a moving it from one place to another, seeking shelter, but we're talking about it's very devastating desperate situations where there are no basic supplies. no, nope, food supplies, no medical supplies. if there is a, the vast majority of people here are made up of the most vulnerable a group of women and children. there is also another vulnerable to group, the group of, of people who are disabled. and people who are of a, with, with disabilities are here at this with no services whatsoever. they are in need. they are in need of those services. uh, but unfortunately,
12:04 pm
the area doesn't have any of this. there is an owner or what facility nearby. but the owner was only a tried to provide services to people that evacuated to its facility. none of the people here receive anything a from on or well, or any international organization. one thing that had been the pattern since we got here and talked to people, there is a 100 percent consensus that people have shattered since the safety and security did talk about the horror that the feel at night where it multiple of drones, buzzing and hovering at the low out, if you the sound and the bus of the, of the f. 60 in the flying at a low out that you the area, the bowling, a bombs on the vicinity of area that with the, the evacuated to all of this feeds into their fear that this area is not safe. and it will be only, it's just a matter of both time until this area,
12:05 pm
it will become so risky and dangerous for them to, to stay the stay here, similar to what happened to other evacuation areas. in the northern part garza city and the central parts. it's interesting how we we was we so people were coming all the way from gauze us. it'd be on the northern part that's further north, the further south to evacuate and for for safety. okay, thank you so much, honey. my load reporting from going off in garza, well, the one world food program says the food supply chain inside garza has completely collapsed and it's war and the entire population is facing an immediate risk of starvation. we cannot speak to carl sako, who's the deputy executive director of the world food program. joining us from kyra, welcome to elgin 0. you've just come out of gaza, tell us what you saw when i finished the full day yesterday and uh, you know, the city closest to the border of egypt and, and the cds packed, a lot of people displays coming from the north and the people everywhere. and
12:06 pm
people camping everywhere on the sidewalks. so, you know, the, the shunt there's already over full. and so a lot of exploration, we just put out there's a set of statements, half of the population and got it starving. 9 out of 10 has not, it's not eating every day. and you know, there is a sense of fear. you can see in the people's eyes, you can almost smell it in the air. and another confusion even ask us where you know, what's going to happen next. where can we go? so what are the program doing to try to get aid in like food like water, like the supplies that are so desperately needed us? you know, we have, we are right in the road. we have trucks loaded on the borders, but we're not getting access any we need and more crossing volume so that we can get supplies in. but of course, we also need conditions inside so that we can deliver to those in need everywhere
12:07 pm
and got so we need or you many times these fire so that we can orderly this, give you a everywhere. right now we're running distribution winds made in the south and, but the situation is increasingly untenable because the lower in order is breaking down and you know, around the food there is a lot of tension. and so when the situation is so desperate, you have hundreds. if not thousands of people lining up and they really want to wrap as much as they can because they don't know when the next shipment is coming. um, it's your assessment as the w. s p that the food is being used as a weapon, a for in gaza. people who don't have enough food. there is not enough food. i think our estimation is such as the crisis came. i broke out the some 10 percent of the food supplies needed. i mean, so clearly uh, we need more on crossing pines, we need more supplies coming in and we need conditions to, uh, to me,
12:08 pm
the names of the peoples, right? yeah, i understand that food is not going on, but as a w. s p is that your assessments, that food is being weaponized. we heard this from ox, from early in the war in october, ox, from saying that the food is being used as a weapon, a floor against civilians. in garza, do you agree with that assessment from what you saw on the ground? but our assessment is not enough, so is there, there is starvation and we need more forward coming in. our focus is to try to get as much supplying as possible and to we have called for you many times these fires that we can deliver during the post, the 7 days post. we show him what was possible. we had come was going to the north . we have fed some 1000000 people in garza already and we are ready to see another 1000000 and it should conditions allow in the next couple of weeks. and so this is not an issue on available assistance on the border. this is an issue i'm having the conditions in place, the name or to see the hungry. okay. low. can you say that you have food on trucks? they're ready to roll, ready to go in?
12:09 pm
what are you hearing about the possibility of opening up other border crossings? there was some talk of possibly the is really is agreeing to open to kind of we sign him of crossing. but from, from what we understand that hasn't happened yet. correct me if i'm wrong. have you seen have you seen it open on the ground? no, we are continuing to engage with it's rarely store level to get to them. so i'm open that with the sort of leisure around around and being able to deliver escape. and it would also help us have more control and order in terms of the distributions on the sign. and so, and that is all happened yet. and there is a movement on using comes along for verification. but it's only gonna solve half of the problem. we also need and it comes with almost an access point which would allow us also to do a pipeline from jordan, just for clarity. last question to you. are you getting anything into gaza at this point to yes, we do, but it's a trickling. and so this is a,
12:10 pm
a drop in this ocean on massive need. all right, well, leave it there across. ok. thank you for speaking to us from cairo. thank you very much. now the us is facing growing criticism. after using it to veto, to block a draft, you one security council resolution calling for an immediate cease fire and goes up . it came officer secretary general, enjoying the terrace, invoked, or rarely used article of the un charter directly to the security council to discuss what he called a humanitarian disaster that poses a threat to world peace on security. for sicily reports from new york, the secretary general made his case for an immediate humanitarian cease fire and gaza, noting it's not just bombs threatening civilians, but also a lack of food, water, and medicine. the risk of collapse of the military and system is fundamental. the link through the complete lack of safety and security is the for all the stuff in
12:11 pm
gaza and with the nature and the intensity of community audio potations, which i cc and the lead me think of sex 2 people in desperate need from 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 mos clings to its audiology of destruction. any cease fire? is it best temporary, and is certainly not peace. and as far as that leave some us in control of gaza with an ard palestinian civilians the chance to build something better for themselves. the united kingdom abstain, citing similar concerns. russia and china was to the 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,
12:12 pm
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 gaza is getting worse. and the counsel 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. and if you support it, then you are enabling this destruction and displacement regardless of your intentions. the palestinian and basset are about to take. they issued to the
12:13 pm
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 time the us use the veto on palestine at the un security council to support israel was in 1972. it's blocked to you on resolutions on the issue $35.00 times and more than 50 years to out of those vetoes have come during israel's war on gaza, including the vote on friday. us has vetoed resolutions on israel $47.00 times in all, including over israel's invasion of southern 11 on as well as its occupation of the go on heights in syria. we have with us, daniel, for me. she's an associate professor of political science at long island university to talk about this. welcome to all to 0. so 1st just give me your reaction to that u. s. veto. i suppose, you know, it's not a surprise and that was pretty much expected us. and it comes just after the un
12:14 pm
secretary general had said that the collective punishment of palestinians had led to a moment where, right at that moment there is not a single safe space in gaza for anyone to hide. and so after the secretary general gives the most gazing remarks, the united states then does veto. and so as signals to not just the world, but also specifically to palestinians that we see you, we recognize that your suffering that the united states will not stand with you. and it was just about the ceasefire. yeah, and look, i just, you know, many people wondering what is the us is thinking behind this of this particular time. obviously we saw it. we see the incredibly high death toll and also the us defense secretary, a few weeks ago, warrens himself that israel re, is, is risk and replacing a tactical victory with a strategic defense of civilians continued to be killed in this way. and we see civilians continued to pick on killed in this way. what's the us just thinking a members of the state? the palm have also said that this is no longer in the us strategic interest to continue to support this in this regard. because of the backlash, the regional,
12:15 pm
incidentally, that a could occur and the backlash against the united states. so seeing itself as a, as a mediator as these moments is no longer possible for the united states and the region we saw certainly. and while we continue to see protests in the us at calling for a cease fire, the last that's a stick that i saw was about more than 60 percent of americans demanding a ceasefire. has that changed? was changed, especially among the younger americans. so according to the latest studies that we have 76 percent of young people, especially young democrats, are dissatisfied with the bite and response because they are seeing these videos and these images regularly, when it comes to the entire country, it's, it's closer to the 60 percent but it's, there's also a generational divide where young people are pushing against the bite and administration. and when you see the larger scale resistance of what young people and americans in general are, are, are facing, is a,
12:16 pm
this is an administration on this moment is not paying attention to its own people . what about a support amongst the arab and muslim populations in the us because it seems to be decreasing? so my colleagues and i did a study of the 2020 election right. where we found that in the 5 key swing states, that the heart of the democratic vote was arab and muslim. and if you look at the democratic the dnc today, they are looking at these numbers. i'm wondering what is the next election going to look like? because arabs and most of us are increasingly moving away from the democratic party and especially present by them. and so the campaigns to not vote for president biden's re election, but to vote continue to vote, democratic down the ticket, could be a way to punish this kind of not listening to that, that they ask for. surely this is something that president biden and his team are aware of. wouldn't this concern them? we did see some language shifting in the past couple of weeks. but yesterday was
12:17 pm
again the kind of double talk of the united states, where there's one conversation to its members of its population here, the arab and muslim community. and then what they do on the international world stage. and so there's still a year until the coming election and it's going to be a wait and see to see how the administration continues to respond. and if indeed ours and wilson's were a band present by them. all right, thank you so much and your family appreciate your time as well as really forces have been carrying out raising the occupied westbank and the latest operation. 2 people were arrested in drama, la copa and the city of hebron were also targeted. the territory has seen increasingly violent daily rates since as real began its war on gaza. more than 270 polished indians had been killed in the operation since october. the 7th. there were also raids in nablus early on saturday. several is really on vehicles drove through the city. there been no reports of arrests so far. as in bethlehem,
12:18 pm
the village of motor heard about the soldiers patrol, the streets on foot, the reports, some of them were smashing the windows of cars parked in the streets. so here's what's coming up on alpha 0. we meet a former teenage palestinian prisoner, we need psychiatric treatment after suffering torture, as well as years of solitary confinement. and it is really true the the hello welcome to look at the international forecasts. got a separate, a try, whether or not what course might solve in the china. so i have yet not generally fabric quite nicely, but west of weather straddling the equator to the northeast, to colorado. but we've had over a 100 millimeters of friends living in on that and also you stream on saying, so that's not what the weather around the malay peninsula south of the quite when
12:19 pm
it's pushing in for more of a west suite direction. so where to where the coming back in across bornea, plenty of show is that to, into a good part of indonesia. so we'll see some live the showers longest, both of right coming into southern areas as we go on through the coming day. so my, whether to coming into northern areas, australia, in the coming days, but for the time being not too bad, fairmount to try whether we do have jasper typical sideline task, but will make his way to the most of times as we go into the middle part of this coming week saw the south big changes the temperature for said me 27 degrees celsius here. so that's something like a about $1015.00 degree dropped for some pots. the width of weather will make his way and across the hot about straight a through south australia pushing further east with patsy rain down towards the se temperature starting to pick up a comes jasper. but from the silence, it's on the side and the show, the, the,
12:21 pm
the prison reminder of the top story and i was, was 0. this. our is really bombardments of fine units in southern gaza, has killed thousands of palestinians. israel has been targeting areas from the north to the south. more than 17 and a half 1000 palestinians had been killed since the one gaza began just over 2 months ago. the united nations for the united states has vetoed a draft resolution after the united nations calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. 13 members of the security council voted in favor of the draft. the u. k. abstained is really forces have carried out reeds in the occupied westbank. several locations have been targeted, including the city of novelist, palestinians across the territory have faced
12:22 pm
a search and raged since the war in gauze that'd be gone. for 2 months the us government has types of heating the need for a 2 state solution between palestinians and is really is once the war is over. but how viable is a future palestinian states given the reality of israel's ongoing occupation? let's take a look at one of the most visible manifestations of that occupation. the separation wall walls are designed to keep people out in the case of israel. this one is not just to keep palestinians away, but also to separate them. in 2002, israel began building a concrete barrier in the occupied westbank. it's intended to be more than 700 kilometers long and about 30 to 40 meters wide on average. israel says the wall protects its security, but palestinian say it's a symbol of segregation and racism. well,
12:23 pm
so far israel has managed to build nearly 65 percent about, well, that's despite the u. s. highest court calling it's illegal. now israel has use the wall to annex even more palestinian lands around 85 percent of its root runs inside the westbank rather than along the internationally recognized pre 1967 border, also known as the green line. it completely cuts off east jerusalem from the west bank and it runs through a $150.00 policy and in communities separating them from their farm land, west jerusalem. they're marked in blue and the east in the yellow. there's a so called theme zone, that's this area that's west between the green line and the separation wall. about 50000 palestinians live there. and they need is really permits to inhabit their own homes. israel as bill 71 illegal is really settlements there. they make up more than 85 percent of the seller population. they are allowed to move freely. the
12:24 pm
upside is, israel's legal separation will make so it can take you was palestinian states nearly impossible. the hearing reports from the occupied westbank. and this is the view that no have seen has been looking out for the past 20 years behind the wall or the trees she planted and can no longer reach people in the well to waco, agitated from a bad nightmare. but here we are awake and agitated every single day. these really separation barrier cuts through her family's land upon nothing, it's new to us and i never could understand i had, but dick is working and sold him up, reaching the trees. it was a deep pain in my heart. they didn't care when i lost the trees that i carried on
12:25 pm
my shoulders and planted one by one decades later is really forces are back for more. in august they handed several families and upon the u. confiscation orders to expand the war. they fear that is where we use the war on garza to grab more land without having to share the did the, this is our land and we have the prove. they say you're close to the legal is really settlement, but i was here before the wall. the courts and power are in their hands. my future is over. i fear now for my children and grandchildren. future israel started building the wall during the 2nd palestinian uprising noon as the anti fall. the palestinian sea is rarely used security as an excuse to confiscate more lined. the walls length is more than double that of the 1967 borders sneaking into palestinian territory, running as deep as 18 kilometers inside the occupied west bank. as the un says,
12:26 pm
it's almost complete and will take up around 10 percent of palestinian lance. the international court of justice has ruled the world. is illegal. roads like this one are all what's left for palestinians. he often have to take longer routes to reach their destination for palestinians. the wall is an extension of israel system of control as part of a wider network road settlements on check points. bill to give is really the upper hand while making their lights on bearable. why did they need that? but he just need the occupied west bank. well, it's really jails and it's dual legal system is another symbol if it's illegal occupation that affects every aspect of palestinian life since the war began at least 3680 polish thing is i'm interested. that's according to the palestinian prison. our society is real, is holding 80 percent and so called administrative detention. and that means they can be held indefinitely without charge or trial. the one says that's
12:27 pm
a record number 6, palestinians have died and is really custody. the highest number in such a short period for decades. palestinians housing is really jail say that they are denied adequate food and water, many report beatings, abuse, and torture by prison guards. some say they've been threatened with rape. without that, how many met palestinian prisoners and the occupied westbank who faced torture and abuse while incarcerated, that he might be home, but still access is behind. bars facing up and down his hands in front as if handcuffed, his head filled with i'm answered. questions that has had i seen, i am still in prison, i am psychologically tired and even pain. my body is number non stop headaches. i filled out
12:28 pm
a tricity down my spine. i couldn't get out of bed because of the pain. they used to hit me all of it, it, buddy, that's. it was 15 you when he was 1st arrested, sentenced to 2 and a half years on charges including resisting police. but there's a teenager, he often rebelled against prison rules. it's led to several due time extensions totally 11 years behind bars, 7 in solitary confinement. the last 18 months with no visits or outdoor time. the impact is so deep, bass and was appear to be released, begging to be returned to his. so that's him. frame long beard and the shuffled hair and a lot of pent up anger. i'm his mother, but he didn't want to come to me. he didn't recognize us. on the way home. she attacked us. hey, tests got out the car and run away. she was annoyed with me even though i'm the only one who saw him in jail in the p affected me. not able to deed with the return
12:29 pm
to normally the massive needed urgent treatment. this is the house, but the webmaster was admitted 4 days after his release is the only psychiatric hospital in the okay, by the west bank. and we're here to speak to his doctor to understand the long lasting impact of solitary confinement. and the tension, the doctor say basle displays the symptoms of deep trauma need. that's a club last night. and we think this behavior stems from what it needs, right. and any physical contact was aggressive, there was torture, immunization the grading treatment. so this kind of present of feels that any human touch is a negative just yet i will, i'll put into the cost of the fact that the has been 2 sentences in prison, one as a child and later, a 12 year, one for participating in the 1st and decided that you know, until today, and it's been 7 years now. my phone has been on silent. i like the quiet. i prefer to listen until i don't like public places too much. any noise is around me just to
12:30 pm
me. i don't show it, but i feel different inside your 10 weeks later that ssl is still confused. how did a duct on addressing me as his doctor last in time? still not acknowledging his parents by the respective family of about them and i am an old friend. he was born 4 months ago. so who does people look tough to me? is fed me and took care of me telling me to call them mom and dad. but it's not possible since i'm in olsen and they are right. where is that? most of your parents who had been waiting for over a decade to have their son still denied that moment. this is one story unique, but at the same time, not uncommon, deduct reality of living under military occupation. that is only getting more brutal by the day for the how many of the 0 in the occupied westbank will take a quick look at some other news now in the philippines has condemned what it's
