5:04 am
seems he can hardly feel the weight on you. this was where hundreds of thousands of causes, palestinians fled to many israel's ministry of sold to the news. now is ready tanks of pushed into the costs of southern gauze as main city to fighting with how much is fish and ongoing. 9 the but this be no less up in the know the, the to body of refuge account. one of the most problems parts of because a script is still being pulverized and men, women and children are still being pulled. and so rubbing in pieces. 5 5 the we would say to you the housing piece, what did we do?
5:05 am
gold, like the world. see what is happening to is it's been said too many times to count that nowhere in cause or is safe. but that's being constantly repeated because it's true. but we catins how to 0. the spokesman fell off as um, doing the customer gave spoke a little earlier. he says israel will not get any of its captives held in the back . 5 minutes remains low, either was the she wouldn't be the fastest enemy and its leadership. i liked the corrupt netanyahu. well, the central old gland and nobody's who support them. well middleman among design as in the white house will be able to get their prisoners back and live without in exchange and negotiation. and without meeting the demands that the resistance in this little while these really prime minister and benjamin espanol here says military campaign is showing results. and will continue for as long as necessary by me, my whole name a sort of a couple of comments in the past few days of dozens of how mazda tetter is gone,
5:06 am
have set into 2 levels, is they are laying down their weapons and turning themselves in do i hit a exposure some of these? this will take time because the water is still ongoing, but it has the beginning of the end for how much summer i say to the how much terrace it's over the phone seen. well, i don't die. so send rod set and then i'll show well that speak to him to tell her she isn't occupied east or respond to nothing yahoo that again re is raising his commitment to this war. as we've been saying, i will, with seeming, you know, ends in 5, that is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu signaling that there will be no shift in policy for these really is when it comes to how they're going to conduct themselves in this war. and how long it is going to take these really prime minister releasing several statements throughout the day yesterday is saying that the war will be continuous. and in fact, these relays have just received a new shipment of weapons and ammunition to assist them in their fight to be on
5:07 am
land, air, and sea. it comes as he also says there is intense fighting happening, both in the north and the southern part of gaza. now remember when it comes to how long this war is, this is the question on everyone's mind. and these really is simply say that however long it takes them is what they're going to do is roles national security advisor softly hon. naggie. while speaking just a couple of days ago said that it would be actually impossible for him to measure how long the war would carry on for unless he couldn't even use weeks or months as a unit of measure for that. saying that these really have 3 war objectives, and they're not going to stop this war until all of them are met me and come to i see the seniors, really officials have just in the last few hours wrapped up another meeting. i know they often tight lipped about what they're discussing, but have you heard if anything is actually come out of these tools as
5:08 am
well. there were 2 meetings today. let's 1st talk about the political and security cabinet, which is composed of politicians and also security heads like the head of the ocean, but who is entering the israel, internal security agency. and also the head of the co got, which is the coordinator for government activities in the palestinian territories. but of course, from these really side that meeting was suppose to have a vote when it comes to 2 different issues. the transferring of additional funds to the palestinian authority and to allow or deny palestinian workers from the occupied west bank to come into israel for their jobs they have been borrowed from doing so since october 7th, these really is have not allowed them in here quite yet. but there is some opposition to it. there was a lot of arguing in this meeting and earlier, the socio economic cabinet, which is composed of the finance minister and others who oversee these types of
5:09 am
decisions voted against this move. but when it came to the security cabinet, the prime minister decided to delay the vote because there was a lot of opposition to it. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu is economic advisor himself, is saying that netanyahu is for allowing the palestinian workers back into israel because the economy is taking such a hit. and there is such a shortage of workers. so while there were supposed to be these 2 big decisions that were made, these really government has decided to postpone them. an interesting dynamics happening that how does, how hot, with the latest from occupied histories and thank you. 100 well, it's really only officials also saying they'll investigate video is published on social media, showing the as old as vandalizing shops earned by palestinians and galls of city and jamalia. they described the behaviors, inappropriate, and country to the values of the as rarely ami as well as how this thing is in the
5:10 am
occupied westbank has been accusing, is really forced as of regularly commission vandalism during rates that and those rates have also increased sense. this will began circle say they have level hypoth justice pulled out, believe me, it has more from a lot of and it should not be coming as a surprise to the is re the ministry. i mean just a month before the war id is really human rights organization. but selim, at issued as a statement in their report and which are detailed, active vandalism, and looting by is really soldiers in different parts of the occupied westbank. typically when they re, the house, they go, they go in, they put everything upside down, throw all the, whatever it was in the cupboards is now on the floor. food supplies us build. there is destruction in vandalism, and many people, many palestinians have complained that while all that is happening well also their
5:11 am
money and a jewelry has disappeared. others have completed the crops have disappeared. for example, the shepherds communities, south of hebron would tell you that they also come bundle continues attacked by the settlers. and usually under the protection of these really are me. so this is really not anything new. it's now in social media is now wide spread and is probably increased a lot since october 7th, simply because these really soldiers now when they deal with any palestinian regardless of the age, regardless of their ideal or do regardless of whether they have done anything or not they're dealing with others to didn't know for most a, from a point of revenge of collective punishment. everybody is responsible of the how much attack on october 7th and part of it is to show complete lack of respect to
5:12 am
palace, to news, to their house as to their belongings and acting as a okay buyer that can take anything whenever they want. now, will anyone expect that some of the soldiers who have been widely publicized on social media actually fit it face any investigation or face any as sort of punishment by the army. if you ask about a student, they probably tell you know, because that has been, as we said, ongoing, and they have put in complaints, but nothing happened. the whole israel is band, choose the staging a video for forwarding to show the surrender of mussel, which is the footage on social media. it shows several 1000 men strip down to the underwear. as you see, is there any media? it says, visa, most fighters who are arrested at the giovanni a refugee, can you see one on that? he's working towards the soldier and he hands over a rifle and hand guns. note here that he's carrying the rifle that in his left hand,
5:13 am
however, what appears to be a 2nd take the same video is also allowed to chose the palestinian man. now that as you see, holding the rifle in his right hand, like the 1st video, he works for to place the weapons in front. the of these rarely soldiers on social media uses on just questioning these videos. they're also turning them into means actual time of it takes a look at some of the reactions these really, really through a video supposedly showing how most fighters surrendering fuel skepticism about previous post. it can even do these, these, these are supposed to be about how much taking over a hospital to know what she wasn't recognized for anyone who worked there. the entire that became older fields. you can see that dano then there was, this is really our main video. there was supposed to show us a mazda 10. no. it's in fact
5:14 am
a hospital elevator shocked me to look at this real old, sparking a series of means marking video and the city of the original would be the only the support the recurring to unless you want to film hostages and deliberate movies is list the big this list is say we are in operation with to the a we with the seek them or that's a calendar. yes. kind of the last, this is one of the senior surveys. who is the head of the now i want to show you a low promotional donald. this donna is filled with electricity. the interesting things that we have from you rows use of social media is nothing new in modern warfare, which digital platforms have become a battle ground? for influencing public opinion. so underneath the shape of a hospital, what israel appears to be losing ground, because last time i don't think you the community took you seriously. there was a list. how much stone cannot you? a most exquisite, i'm gonna reach out to 0. a woman's credit and let's bring in some way. he is an
5:15 am
assistant professor of journalism and media at the university of texas. he's also the program director of the propaganda research lab at the center for media engagement. he joins us now from austin, in the united states. samuel, i want to start with this video that we just saw, the extensible surrender from last 5 years. and obviously it appears to have been multiple takes. so let me start by asking who's the intended audience here and what are they reading into, into what we've seen in cases like this, the audiences, you know, the global public given that these kinds of videos are circulating on social media, which is a trans national medium if you like, and the goal is to then inflame, already tense emotions and 2 attempts to manipulate public opinion. oh, how does something like this, that effect credibility. if we say that, that there were a multiple takes, how sophisticated is, is really media machine. so look, images can be falsified or faked in many ways,
5:16 am
you know, and that includes the use of a i had and includes the use of computational tools. but we also know the images have been staged and situationally massaged over the course of time. during wars, they can also be out of context that can be selectively edited. we've also seen the use of cheap stakes, which are just use the edited using photoshop or some such. so, you know, the level of sophistication can run from quite high with generator they are being used to very well. also in this case. so we're talking about this, just spending a mistake on the positivity is riley's when they have been questions raised about all the videos as well as we so why not have it be a, a slicker operation if you are running this as a government it's hard to say without having studied the is really military directly um myself, i'm an expert in propaganda and use of imagery and other forms of technical manipulation, but i couldn't comment on that. so well,
5:17 am
let me ask you then about how things have changed. as you say was always had an information that i mentioned a lot has changed in recent years. or you talked a little bit about a either how social media change things and the spread of the things going viral online massively and markedly. um, you know, in my research with others uh, we talk about this idea of computational propaganda. so the use of things like automation and a, i, and algorithms and manipulation of broader public opinion. what we see is i'm a massive rise in the quantity of propaganda that's out there, whether it's selectively edited videos or it's a textual content. but we also see a massive rise in the quality of the content as well. so the use of generative a, i makes it possible to create false images or false videos that are much more, a sophisticated and much more believable than ever before. so it speaks to the fact that users, especially users and position their power, must be very careful not to launder this. this are best information if this is an
5:18 am
information well, and we've talked here a little bit about what the israelis have been doing. what's the other side doing? have we seen that imagines, of, of using tools like this from us in this particular conflict? i haven't tracked the either side use of these images per se. but what i can say is that research shows that during the war's, including during the ukrainian russian more and this one, that all sides tend to make use of dr. images. you can expect that during any crisis for war or natural disaster in current times, that computational propaganda and dr. images will be used and they will be used to try to target specific groups and to get them to become more enraged. more polarized, more angry, or to believe something that's completely false. so we've also seen video as much as we were saying earlier, this person of soldiers looting and just drawing posting and shop somebody else,
5:19 am
replied westbank presumably things that these really all mean with all of the while didn't see how controlled is social media from these really side does that even possible? look, social media is a medium where any one can produce content. it's not a one to many medium as broadcast news as it's a many to many medium. and so it has incredible power in, you know, promoting the causes of human rights and democracy. but it's also certainly manipulable. so, you know, people in positions of power can leverage tools and leverage their resources to spread propaganda in a way that is much more sophisticated than um, than everyone else. and so on the one hand you have social media being a powerful tool for democracy and human rights and some circumstances, but increasingly the amount of noise online and the lack of content, moderation online, meaning that social media has become something of a suspect these days. and, and the way that it contributes to the conversation has certainly changed, seminal will lead to an assistant professor of john is my media at the university of texas. thank you so much for joining us on auto 0. so my pleasure,
5:20 am
thanks for having me. a close to the head. fear. hell now does he have ogden tina tons to the right and it's new president promises shopkins interface, revive the economy, the color of the rain clouds, a gathering across china. now we have got sickening cloud just coming into those central areas. not too bad ahead of that high pressure, just getting pushed out to the way that when that will allow the systems to gather, roll across the east, tennessee, the yellow sea, very wet weather into south grab a wintry, whether it's a north korean, it's only making its way to voice japan, it runs in across much of japan as we go on through, choose the shy rank coming back and hide cools off a little as well with the winds coming in from an old the direction. but by that
5:21 am
stage, as you can see, much of china will be dry with plenty of sunshine, sunshine structures this way down to costs a good part of indo china. and your son shot into the philippines. the old show which are to have showers into indonesia pushing across malaysia with some rather heavy rain from time to time. those things i'm heavy right? is the fall south of india as it go through monday, but it will slowly but surely start to pay to route. i think as we go on into what used a lot to drive across a good part of india, this was all set to continue though, for much jobs for lanka. we'll see what the weather lingering. here we go through the next few days. the little on the misty side, some fold up towards the northeast of india, focused on still be fine. dry top to bottom, the the,
5:22 am
5:23 am
here and uh huh. let's remind you about 12 stories. at least 22 people, including women and children, have been killed in this way, the strike on the on the go and see refuge account. people are digging through the run. the searching for suffice palestinians are being pushed thousands of mice, population pots of southern casa, is there any bombs a pound in con, newness as tanks, as on sense of the city being residents have a few places west or cause a residence or continuing to make the difficult journey south from con eunice towards the so called safe zones. and rafa corresponding to outside has worn out from on the wasi were here in my wasi of roswell. this is just one of the areas of, of my last the in milwaukee is originally a 40 square kilometer area where israel has cold, designated humanitarian,
5:24 am
safe zone for palestinians in the gaza strip to move to. but as you can see, this area is just made out of installed sin tents for the residents who have fled and were forcibly displaced from different areas. the gods, the city, the north, and even the south end of why do those. so that includes the central part and con eunice city and has been all forcibly displaced in this area called la c. this area is just made out of these been tense that has been installed here and there some areas the 10s of very adjustment to one another. and this area of my law c has nothing of the basic necessities in need of any human being. so as you can see, it is completely not relevant to the word, humanitarian neither to the word a safe zone because these people,
5:25 am
as well as many others in the gaza strip in different areas, are still suffering of relentless, ongoing is really air strikes and bombardments. now going to the humanitarian case of my last, see this area has no water, it has no drinking water, it has no humanitarian aid reaching these places. and of course it has no toilet at all. so people here need to find an alternative even for the toilets. this is one of the alternatives. the people here in milwaukee are turning to, to make their own toilets. they have a, they have done picked in the ground and put this container. this is a toilet to public toilets. they have installs here between all these will tend to use because they have no other alternative. but walter for high teen stays
5:26 am
to be a struggle ad. a daily challenge for these people here. these areas are subjected to a lot of diseases on a daily basis because off the great mass amounts of people crowded in very small areas and without any water for hygiene. you me see it out to 0. rough off. i'm all i see. i'm speaking of those concerns. the world health organization has adopted a resolution judging immediate humanitarian aid for casa. it's want to have the health system in the gaza strip is collapsing, and cannot afford to lose one more ambulance for a hospital bed. the w h o executive board housing emergency session out there on sunday to discuss the growing health crisis in the palestinian territory. now the work of the hill where it goes is impossible. and that directly in the fighting
5:27 am
line seems the sevens of october w. joe has verified more than $449.00 attacks on health care in garza and the westbank. and 60 i techs in on health getting these we had no ad and no one is safe in guys. as more and more people move to a smaller and smaller area overcrowding, combined with the lack of adequate food, water shelter, implementation, outraging. the ideal conditions for this is to spread to pull. brandon has one out from that meeting in geneva. i mean, the 7th time in the world health organization 75 year history, that the, there's been a special meeting like this of the executive board. and this one on a sunday. and the opening was the doctor federal said, the director general saying that, or this is a meeting, we would rather not be having, but frankly,
5:28 am
there was no alternative in the eyes. the situation laid out in testimony from numerous delegates, some from some of the engineers who also gave evidence towards the end. that was a, a leak, an intolerable situation on the ground in gaza for medical and humanitarian workers trying that best to alleviate the suffering of the civilians. that the data that was present at 1.9 people have been 1900000 people have been internally displaced in gaza and half a 1000000 of them. no hope of getting back to their homes. because that home simply don't exist anymore. i'm more than a 120 a medical u. n stuff has been killed. i'm more than 218 medical staff. i've lost the allies on the resolution that was on the table and simply laid out that what it, what the world health organization is demanding is immediate. sustained an
5:29 am
unfettered access of full humanitarian workers to go about the duties of an end to a tax on hospitals and ambulances, as pub, international humanitarian law. and also the international community to raise as much as possible the immediate funds. so actually finance the rebuilding of palestine health care system. it was pretty stock stuff that's on now just and the other news around the world. and right when you have you emulate, has been sworn in as altering tina's new president. his election when was, feels by the countries, the economic crisis. they all concerns about the new president's plans to come back to inflation. during the election campaign, he threatened to blow up the central bank and make the us dollar the nation's currency. leaders from the west african block eco west have mentioned nigeria as capital a bridge to discuss the rising number of cruise and attempted cruise across the region. they'll be sending a delegation to new jack to negotiate with the military jump to the on lifting
5:30 am
sanctions imposed of to accrue in july. and it just has been following the meeting for us. he has more now from the beach. the decision by the can any community of west africa state to send the thing you need is from the regional book to use your is to negotiate a shorter transition, the time table with abilities. you won't have that. this is the plus sign, that's probably a course. it's so mean it's todd position. remember that organizers and in the early days of the cool, correct. and to take military action to chase out the minute to jump out of power and social release advised them that the polls preston from captivity house to the session. yeah, there was not the focus of near panic. i'm african lead at west african leaders. the reason is because of the way echoes is gradually losing its team and it's
