9:06 pm
i have area that is does ignited safe about 5 years, but i'll keep ation force as oh, so they made it to confrontations, continue on the grounds and kind of what a switch. i tend to be a battle zones. as israel is intensifying, gets attacks against civilian areas where residential building had been flat since in that prevents a be similar to situation is on there was about a break refuge account border residential building and a break switch which account had been destroyed as pul palestinians have been killed alongside with a number of others who have been wounded. now these attacks continues. of these attacks continue only 2 or 3 as it had claimed the lives of more than 18000 palestinians to this very moment. all right, we'll leave it that. thanks so much talk about the palestinian. john listened garza and i'll just covering the wall with there also living through it. now at least 89 palestinian journalists have been killed in the conflict. more than the 50
9:07 pm
media premises officers have been completely or partially destroyed, advised by the strikes that includes the office of the f t news agencies bureau and gaza. hundreds of palestinian gentleness and the families including that is from out just there. i've been forcibly displaced to abandon their reporting equipment in offices in the north to live and reports under difficult conditions during frequent communication. blackouts, journalists working in areas of conflict, all protected under international humanitarian law, as all civilians under the geneva convention. but as well as accused of repeatedly violating rules of law, palestinian john the science round is trying to kill the messenger and silence the story. a jonathan, the guy is the head of the middle east desk of realtors without borders. he says, attacks on john list covering the war and gaza will be investigated for possible war crimes. this is an unacceptable attack against bravery during this war covering
9:08 pm
the conflict and con eunice uh what, what, what has already lost family members and then are years very striking. the so does all in october and today he is being the price of his, of the for the, for doing, for doing his work. this isn't sports and the why the context of his radio effects against durn it is the used for jazz. so thinking since the beginning of this war, 13 a homework and for reasons really to directly to there were, we caught him on the protection of journalist because on a, on is really an educational authorities to open the gates for the janitors can do that. they need to run that international jernace and come into work alongside them . these could be precision weapons. we, we, we, we would definitely investigate whether this was a target that can be used. reminds very strongly that targeting during this a targeting journalist covering award as a water crime according to the geneva conventions, according to their own subject governing the international criminal court artist that has already submitted
9:09 pm
a complaint to the criminal court. asking to investigate the beginning of a journalist and to to in order to find out what their. ready intentions are getting and therefore if there was, if they were practicing this child, strengthened reports. now the challenge is john list facing from his right, the forces and the occupied westbank. a good site to say that most of these doing this a very experienced and a thing like it before their lives. because we have seen this huge escalation is riley made a tree rides on towns, villages, and cities pretty much every night across the occupied territories. hey, we've seen an increase in st lower tax olsa. secular attacks that are often, either given the green lights tacitly by the age riley military, nearby or as is often the case. and we see video footage in we've seen it with our own eyes. literally is where the soldiers standing when these attacks are happening in, in,
9:10 pm
in the very close vicinity or as these attacks are happening. literally watching them a car. so policy and journalists, especially despite how use that use they all to attacks like done happening that has been such a big escalation since the war began. that. yeah it's, it's really important to recognize the kind of pressures that they are on the alex . he was supposed to 3 weeks ago, standing above offer prison waiting for a person to release. it's pretty obvious that all s n g truck was targeted as well . the journalists just above us on the hill, the one taking a bullet to the camera or a plastic bull is the camera. how call ahead it's wind screen destroyed. so you know, they're, they're instances like this happening pretty much every day. we seem full footage, for example of a j i, which is here arabic and other journalists that we hear. we janine covering the right the largest right in 20 years on june in a couple of days ago. you see these riley miller trees,
9:11 pm
forcing them away. intimidating them. so it is a, an endless challenge full journalist here in the west bank to deal with these kind of precious as well that spring and now uses wanda. he's professor of political science and international relations that i'll tell the university. so good to have you with us. so obviously, a very difficult situation. incredibly difficult situation for joe, unless not in the 63 jealous of being killed according to the committee to protect journalists. but those who are less have to operate and do the jobs. why they also part of the displaced besieged civilian population. right. this is, it's difficult to think of a parallel for this. well, i think it's very difficult. i think it's the most difficult place on the moment. for a journal, just the given as the density of the population in does the moment and also the in disagreements model most
9:12 pm
a couple of deep uh is lot of these uh economy. so it can be very, very difficult for douglas to do the jobs. and secondly, i think it's the interest of the is why the government to ensure that i've done that to the to move is prevented from that it should be outside world. obviously, the zillow is given a completely different account of what is happening on the ground. and this has not been very well, appreciate it by the is ladies. i'm looking at a statement here by reporters without boulders. and they say quote, israel has been steadily suppressing news reporting in the gaza strip. our ability to know what's happening in gaza, is it at stake as well?
9:13 pm
i would say i will, ability to know what to do now what's going on in guys is a pay risk. and the 2nd one, the 2nd point is that we wouldn't the works top. it goes off from one politic adult . so that would be the easily the government as long as i'll tell them that the forces of information uh shut bo gave us these ladies. if the, if the ladies us the only that you as a, to test the outside world, what is going on? obviously these like the government is not as not being able to get on see the safety of international journal just so it's like sick to scare them from entry into gaza. and secondly, it possible to be a lot of people's not allowed for them just to come on the ground until you pull to give a different, not active. so i would say yes, it's up to date and you're listen to statements by some of these riley lead is like
9:14 pm
israel's president is code. so i'll go on october. the 13th, which quote to the same quote is an entire nation out there that is responsible. it is not true, this rhetoric about civilians not being aware and not being involved. is it time for? i will, of course, we should remember been, you mean destiny hours repeated references to biblical verses on the destruction of i'm a like in which the destruction the killing of women children, babies, even animals was promoted. this is it time for is really the, the shift to speak with a different voice and to emphasize the sanctity of life of john list and civilians are the, has been coming out of the for me like that. and in particular for them it's leadership is a big one by as in other students,
9:15 pm
especially the people in gaza. the they have used certain words to describe the palestinians or how busing particular as i mean ones. and so in other words, they are trying to take away this, you money to offer the police the news. so tony fell to them as sub humans and so on and so forth. and the full, when you can, that was of those people. you have lovely sicily committed a crime, the general impression what the old, what you would like to attend the outside world is that these people that will list them. i mean, once again, look, human dental or even babies of future federalists and therefore, if you kill them, you wouldn't want disassembly between a climb auto body to, to do the motion to low their the do you know, doing a favor and deal doing god's the, you're you want to, you try to do the goats go to sleep, if you like,
9:16 pm
we are here would be it's in it's i will believe that we will go into those people . all right, thank you so much for your thoughts on that use of one to a palestinian president. my boss has told us national security advisor is randy a tax on gods. i'm a stop. jag sullivan is in ramallah, often meetings with israel's prime minister and the wall cabinet intel aviv. a bus also called on the us government so full say as well to stop the attacks on palestinians, the west bank and jerusalem. and that smith has the latest from tel aviv before he came to israel. jake sullivan said he'd be talking with his riley leaders about a time table and the war in gauze, and urging them to progress to a less intense type of operation. the, there's been a slight emphasis in briefing some of the us. now those meetings are all over the us is saying that there's less emphasis. so a focus on time tell is not entirely accurate. israel,
9:17 pm
we know has already said he's going to take the many months to achieve what they want to. that seems to be some attempt by the us to pay for over any differences that might be in the us. and he's rarely approach this war. remember, joe biden has already expressed concern about the very high number of civilian casualties that israel is causing. the us is also persuaded israel to open the kind of asylum crossing the goods crossing between garza and israel. this is to allow, is ralph, keep to its commitment of allowing 200 trucks of 8 into gaza so far on the 100 trucks i've been getting in because of capacity restraints. in rough uh israel says the us is committed to paying for the upgrade of rough. uh, so it can take in only a trucks and this opening of carol carol. now the seller is only temporary until rafa the crossing between egypt and gaza is operational. able to take all those
9:18 pm
a furnace. smith, a glen call is a former deputy national intelligence officer for funds, national threats. the c i a, he says while the us needs to show support for as well, it's also putting pressure on them to ease the suffering of palestinians. president biden was quite clear in his remarks at a fundraiser in washington a day or 2 ago to, to criticize the current campaign and the open ended nature of the campaign in gaza as well as the after your flight arrangements the end or next on yahoo from it has nothing yahoo quickly responded with, with a well, essentially i don't care will continue to do what we, we want. however, the national security advisor is there a, behind the scenes to say here are problems that we see with the continued unrestrained military campaign. here are restraints that we'd like to see,
9:19 pm
but while in public, uh, showing what is also true, which is the strategic support of the united states for israel. so it's a different medic dance you. you don't want to criticize directly while making a message. alright, let's bring you some news just coming in to us here. now our camera man in gauze assembled about the car, has died. our camera man. now i'll do 0 account, remind him gone. so who was wounded earlier on? few hours ago in his riley strike has now died. some of the about the co was operating as now just here, a camera run in gaza throughout this conflict. who was working today with one to another colleague who was also wounded in that same attack. they were covering an
9:20 pm
earlier is right. the strike on the school when they themselves fell victim to another is riley strike. initially, simon was wounded. paramedics could not reach him. report say, the shelling was so intense all the time they managed to get paramedics to try and head out on the road to reach him. we understand the rumble, blocking the road prevented them from reaching him without a 0 has released the statement on the attack. it says the network strongly condemns the is riley attack. that wound is what an adult do. i'll do 0 arabic correspondence and some of the channels camera remind joining the coverage of the bombing of our honda school in con eunice on friday, december the 15th, 2023. while at the door managed to reach a nearby hospital for treatment for his injuries. however,
9:21 pm
ambulance teams were prevented by occupation forces in rescuing simon i will duck out who along with several others, with traps in the school due to ongoing bombings. i'll just 0, hold these really occupation forces fully accountable for assignment of safety deeming this incident, a deliberate attempt to target his correspondence in the families in the gaza strip . well, obviously, following that statement, we have now found out that in fact the sad news that some of the about the car, the camera man who we will hoping would be able to pull through this until he could be rescued. has in fact passed away last spring and use if one the professor of political science and international relations and the call to the university in use of very disturbing news. the 1st out is there a john list to be killed?
9:22 pm
of course that will full of those who lost family members in is riley strikes is the 1st time and i'll just sarah john lift himself has been killed by an israeli striking gauze i was just on the schools. the difficulty the challenge is the risk of life to work as a journalist or even just to survive. what i think a drug notice it goes out of work and under the most extreme conditions of the this and also me ticking stuff. it must be stressed, obviously the, the killing of these under the, the couple a couple of men is a very big blow to the tools. it's an attack on freedom of speech. and it's a little buck taken by these ladies to make sure the, on the one not active, but each is the outside. well, obviously,
9:23 pm
even though it's the 1st under the law just was created and does that smoke forgot should in a block law was also a judge of the law journal just was created maybe a couple of years ago by the lady sniper. so it's not, it's not the 1st time thought under the law journalists have been the problem get to induce grades of conflict to go, but also to the invasion of the lockwood under the, the officers bundled well targeted by the americans. and we know that following his injury, that the attempts there was a desire and even an attempt for paramedics to try and reach them. but they simply couldn't because the shelling just continued on the schools. i did say the nature of this conflict which offers very little risk, spiteful mercy to into peaceful well, this is of no,
9:24 pm
to testimony to the that this efforts by the ladies to go and achieve. that was the thought of you to the, the but you mean nothing. yahoo as outlined and good for also it shows is why is on funds to complete this. this will go to a promotional low and so and to load. so the who was a governor need, uh, was obviously the problem it takes to try to do whatever they could, but they could not get into it because of the day that i was on the streets. and also they have a, a shut in on the boat to go at the top, the, what is the door? is it couples from these entries? it was lucky the, the, what's a good thing to us, but let's hope you to cover this for me. he's introduced and then one showed up. he goes book to do with what he does best. defaulting those opportunities. yes. we
9:25 pm
have to also point out the door to the camera. mind a sorry, the reporter. he was also engine this tackle though he was able, as he said to, to reach 1st responds, is able to reach him and, and taking full treatment in some kind of facility that so we do hope that he recovers as well. how disturbing is it when you listen to some of the people in the area who say it was the result of a drone attack and a drone, a fairly sophisticated and precise piece of technology? well, i heard of last week that the is what it has been using some internet vision bombs . i mean, it's very, very difficult to call and a drone intelligence given the population density in does they have moved people from the north for the south africa, as i know there won't be disability very high. as i said,
9:26 pm
the areas in gaza and low month of how intelligent please size these particular goals. they would always result in huge the casualties. and today the gentleman is 12. i'll just see a lot of just a proof of this in this give me a bikes and the not to so intelligent drones that are being used. all right, thank you very much. use a fonda. let's continue this now though with on correspondent in gaza. thought about assume the joins us from the drop off in the south and the strip. so thought of the sad news of l g 0, a camera man. sound that i was killed in that striking earlier today. well, details can you tell us of the yes uh send me uh your 1st i'd like to send our condolences to the families of our

9:35 pm
issues. his problem sometimes when he gets a noise now summer is that a better place where he wont be a noise again and politics a one you to told to me now on a human level about what these constant losses of colleagues and colleagues families does to you as you have to try and focus on being a journalist for the same time, to survive as a human being because i think the last assignment on the lines, the threats to, to, to you as well as, as all of all team members offer them there and garza well honestly send me uh the, the, the, the repeated and so didn't solve killing and death of our beloved ones. personally fixed on the spot. we've been trends in order to be an order to cost things over emotions. aside in terms of work as we need to keep proposing,
9:36 pm
got informing the international community and the world outside about what is happening on the ground. when we just uh, when we switch off the camera and we just take a side, hit the, the real bangs thoughts. well, we just try to recall all the past memories. we just remember all the days together . and we start putting ourselves in the shoes of summer and other at to list who had been killed her who had lost their family members about how they were able to continue reporting. um, it's uh these conditions and the very disparate pain and saw that chests regarding the, the, the deluxe of the family members button that meanwhile, we just talked to the decision to keep proposing. and this is what we have been trained on since the since our what start of work and dispute that emotions must be assigned as we need to keep proposing. and it keep watching the world
9:37 pm
a it with the latest updates regarding these when it strikes on the ground. now. busy the majority of journalists in gauze those thought to believe that there was no any impunity had been. busy granted food them, but this is a matter of fact that we need to keep reporting on to keep telling the world the read a story, a inside goes out or, and people here in the church. we often all kinds of bains and losses that they have enjoyed the deserve to be the does have that their voice must be delivered until uh, across the around the globe as this is the main mission and the main responsibility that comes in. busy as a 1st, the priority for reports isn't correspondents on the ground to tell the world about and this is what we are doing. and as much as lots has as many as lost as we can have within the coming days. we don't know who's the next. uh, we should keep reporting and uh, personal emotions must be tested aside in order to let the world know about or
9:38 pm
suffering on the ground. of course we believe that these kinds of. busy answers are not easy to be into words, but we are trying to coop. i'm with the situation order to keep giving power for others who are surrounding us a to be able to stand strong and to enhance the resilience as the circumstances around us are devastating. and uh, if we are to rent that or if we have been psychologically broken down a no one would tear or let's say full anything regarding the situation on the ground to cite the territory. but this is our job, this is our responsibility to let the world win to let the power send invoice. he is around the glove. all right, products stay with us. i'm just going to point out to view as we're looking at pictures of family members who came to identify and receive the body of on colleague summit, up with the covey. i'll just hear a camera man who's been killed vine this riley strike. we've all the see blood out
9:39 pm
the picture of his body that for obvious reasons i'm with we're seeing quite in 10 scenes understand. that's his mother. a state of all the a state of shock and grief that many palestinians are feeling as they lose their loved ones. right now the us meanwhile says it's working with the international community to deal with rising tax. let's bring in a correspondence. kimberly how could in washington, dc. kimberly, as you, i'm sure are away. we're talking right now about the death of on colleague in gauze a camera man, simon apple duck. it's not the 1st john list to be killed in garza that have been many reports by international journalistic organizations complaining about the high best total of doing this to be many complaints and reports by
9:40 pm
international human rights groups about the high civilian casualty, tall. we've been hearing from the us and us officials on this is well a, it's ironic that uh it is wireless that dues, as camera man that we're talking about unfortunately, who as tragically lost his life because i was not so long ago that i asked the question of the national security council spokesperson john kirby. in fact, it was back in october of this year, whether or not israel was in fact deliberately targeting baptist al jazeera journalist, but journalist in general. and he rejected that notion and said, i've not seen any indication of that whatsoever. that is real, is going after journalists,
9:41 pm
i've seen absolutely 0 evidence of that. that's an unfounded allegations. but as you know, well that dues wife, son, daughter, and grandson were killed in an attack. and now we are not only talking about the death of summer, but also the injury of wild do himself. so you're right, this is just one example of we're algae. 0 journalists have been targeted as the white house is rejecting that notion. but to broaden that more you're right. the committee to protect journalist says that uh since december 15th 63 journalists covering this conflict have been killed. and since 1992. so this has been the most deadly. a conflict in this region for journalists, periods. we should also point out the, the c p j as it's known as says,
9:42 pm
the journalists have paid an unprecedented tool in terms of this assignment, they go on to say, but to reporters is covering in the conflict, israel's war and god have lost colleagues, family members median facilities as they fled seeking safety where there is no safe haven or access, much like the palestinian civilians that are caught in the midst of this conflict. we should go on further to say that report is without borders, is investigating every one of these incidents and has even filed a complaint with the international criminal court siding with tribes. saying that there is evidence of war crimes by the israeli military now. uh, what we should point out and all of this getting back to the statement by john kirby is the fact that the white house has been very firm about the fact that the us president stands up for press freedom. but you will remember that one of our own
9:43 pm
colleagues uh, going back the previous year uh, sharina blacklist when she was working in the west bank was killed as a human body has found by b is rarely military by a sniper by one of their bullets. and even though these rarely military rejects that notion, that is the conclusion and determination of the un body. but it was this really forces that shot her, not the indiscriminate firing of arms, palestinians. and at the time the united states, even though she was a us citizen, promised full accountability and that they would make sure to stand up for press freedom. in fact, the us president said very clearly at the time that he would ensure as a us citizen, but she in fact did get full accountability for her death. he said that the united states will continue to assist on transparent accounting. and we will continue to stand up for media freedom everywhere in the world,
9:44 pm
but there has been no accountability for her death. and often we have to look at the actions of the us administration, not their words because the us president has done nothing. you will remember the, the united states provides the u. s. military 3 point air rather be, is really military, 3800000000 in military assistance annually. they could provide conditions to that military support a if they would like to have accountability for an american citizens death, they have not done that. they've refused to put conditionality on that military aid . and so again, these uh would the end up being many would suggest a hollow platitudes if you will. we've also known, but when it comes to this conflict, there has been reported here in the united states, the secretary of state antony blinking has reached out to the guitar, a foreign minister asking l g a 0 to tone down it's coverage of this conflict. so
9:45 pm
it's very clear when it comes to press freedom that this administration, there have been examples of it speaking out of both sides of its mouth. it says on the one hand it wants to protect your list, but then when it comes to actually doing so we've seen that pulling back. so once again, this is a very sad day for our network. it has been repeatedly a very sad day in the united states says it promises accountability, but so far we have not seen evidence of that. it continues to deny that journalists are being targeted. it has the tools available to it to hold israel to account. but so far it has not use that leverage that is available. right? when leave it, the thanks so much. kimberly how kids from the white house. let's continue this now with tim dolson. he's a deputy general secretary for the international federation of june. listen, joins us live from brussels. good to have you with us. so 1st of all,
9:46 pm
let me get your reaction to the sad news. the desk, the killing of a now just here a june list and gaza, assembled a it's a trait. tragic can pop, right? any, my heart goes out to full of you and his family. really, he's one of a great many of us to a new gen the, to the bus that lives. but it doesn't diminish the oh tragedy. every going to be one of us again tomorrow is about one basketball. it's in the middle, the be accountability. i'm sure you heard that. a correspondent. kimberly how to talking about the case of another. i'll just hear a journalist who is killed last year. should he not block late? and despite the fact that the promises for accountability, despite the fact that she was a us citizen, as on corresponds and explained accountability still not achieved. will that be accountability?
9:47 pm
now, for journalists like some of the com that i have the same uh, the price history. and i blacked uh, you're obviously not the 1st one moved. sounds. everything she said was the smile, guys, i mean from side, right? so just in time screens, it seemed to get me in the demons johnston, and i will sign later for the inspection criminal. over a year ago, i am substituting international criminal court just getting ready to do very much for your ever been part of the job credit on both groups. and not the only thing that's happening while i'm happy to show you the green tab on the time to prosecute some of the instructions from the was in uh the best part about we go and mess with getting this trip present steps and to show them that to investigations would taking place, so it will be some action by some, given the way that the i c c to try to try and get speaking to mash. it can be necessary results to pressure on clearly the,
9:48 pm
the business all achieving justice because there's scores of who died to sometimes and the 7th is going to be very, very different. ready many have died the most complicated complex was that it's possible to imagine. i'm very much, oh, just a little bit cheaper, whatever that turns out to be based off of the reading and just supplement. sometimes there's ron times, i think just do things on a don't understand me that that is actually go out and just need to be done when, when you're doing. busy to patient to see, to get to the bottom of the top and we know good great many times when you get on the chart. many of them and told me about those 2 um, which is a a terry fineman. i'm just give a blue cross. it's very difficult against
9:49 pm
a backdrop of water to really assess what's happening. the same number given 7890 just went out and gone to find out exactly how you tell them. you know, it's worth thinking about. for example, the number of products, medical director speakers, i didn't mention about treatment and you told me to represent the point 6 percent of the entire some 7 or 8 consent to guide me in the body shop. unbelievable. and it's not very difficult to believe in these days or more than 5 years. so i'm just trying to pull back some time. if you want to see you guys will be in charge of the rest press best. everybody might you think? you know, jim is going to still have to pay twice. i'm surprised. and yet they seem to me, it's all the big spring. i i, you know, i think this is our press. we've been extreme and i think we've,
9:50 pm
we've got the west coast. so what is it to the find the trying to achieve, why what they left origin was same, and that's how the justice will eventually get cheaper when it goes from sierra not terribly sorry to him because we seem to have a bit of audio issues and going to ask um, generally say if we can try and, and reconnect with you cuz i still, i do still have more questions for you. i'm very intrigued with some of the things that you kindly mention to us for lights, for now. leave then think tim dos and hopefully we come back to like to, to has go now to charles stratford, he's in nablus in the occupied westbank. charles, let's talk about of course the passing, the tragic pulsing of our colleagues sound. that old doctor was killed by an x ray
9:51 pm
. the strike. tell us about the reaction. as this new spreads out. i will this be no official reaction here um in the occupied westbank um thus far, but what i can tell you about is some of this. the challenges and straits, the journalist space here in the occupied territories in the west bank everyday from, for example, these way the military in these only going res. i should mention that there's a couple of rates that we're hearing about. one of which is just started in nablus, one in a town called hawaii ro as well, which isn't far away, but it's these kind of rights for example, that opposed to such as rates to palestinian and foreign international jr. and this is trying to cover this war from the west bank. it's a similar scenario with the settlers as well set to is where the sectors that are often protected by these rarely all me even given tacit approval or many instances
9:52 pm
. these really only will be the and see mainly acts with complete impunity on accounts of those to anyone. i have no, no problem whatsoever. a, for example, opening far towards doing lists in some instances, increasingly common as well. um, instances of, of, of literally targeting join lists. one of our colleagues that gain without just arabic is camera was hit by a rubber bullets on the nights that we would move from a similar spot. and above all, for a prison. when a group of is ready, so just targeted us and the other journalists there was rubber bullets with a gas with the sound bones. we had a member of our team that was injured in the call i of to one of the sound, but it'll sound grenade smashed into the window, the screen smashing the wind screen a little over the side of his head. these things. now. i almost expect
9:53 pm
to join list to having to take extra care now in trying to cover this, this will because seemingly the situation has deteriorated so dramatically since the beginning of the war. and as i say, the analysts write children eyes, asians, the palestinian, and all sorts of journalist syndicates during these groups will say that the situation has got worse since then. a lot of them talk about the kind of implicit so green lights that they get these right. the military and the settlers from this fall right, is right. the government that seems to have no compunction whatsoever in cooling the perpetrators of this kind of violence to which journalism journalists to account. so you can already imagine it's, it's a, it's a, a very difficult situation often here and covering the will for meal complied westbank. well, imagine what it's like in garza where there is literally no way for people to hide in these journalists. this would be the case with summer,
9:54 pm
as was the case with why with the case was all the age, a teams, and the many journalists trying to cover the conflicts the war from inside garza, the same time is bringing is the fax from the ground. they are being squeezed into an ever smaller area in the south of the strip and what was reporting for us and reporting for the world, whatever agency, whatever news organization they work folder at the same time. terrified for the safety of the families, i think is pretty safe to say that certainly the, for the majority of the journalists covering this conflicts, basically anybody, you know, under the age of full t, this is unequivocal. you probably the most or unequivocally the most dangerous and challenging more to cover because of the kind of switch and dangerous they face from the is really ministry. and in this instance, certainly in, in the occupied with spring flight is why the settlers who all very heavily on data and charles,
9:55 pm
i know this is not the 1st time that you've been out to the occupied palestinian territory to, to cover this story. but talk to us about how the complexity of the baffled field, so to speak, has developed over the years from the initial reports that we are getting from people on the ground near summit up a duck because they talk about him having died in a drone strike. and this is because it has it not a new, relatively new and it's right the june list of had to do with it, especially in places like the west bank where i was seeing also drones being more frequently used. yes. you're right. so i mean, they, the driver need of the weapon allies, joe, know the drone used for reconnaissance, but guiding for guiding me solves the guiding problems towards targets. the drawing, the drops. that's all it drops the bottoms or do you know that just just just general observation and gathering intelligence?
9:56 pm
this is something that has a page on the bottle bottle of front in, in recent years. and it has having a huge impact here in the occupied territories. and obviously in gauze for example, we're changing the funeral early of a few, a few days ago. the constant sound of that drone above the funeral was very much in the full front of people's minds as they were mooning the dead morning. the loved ones. and we've seen these drawings, the wet finalized drawings only the last couple of days, being used by these rarely ministry in that shoes assaults on the jeanine refugee camp. the biggest right on on jeanine for mold in 20 is at least 3. possibly full palestinians were killed in the idea of these riley. i'm a released video. ringback of, of this stone dropping this ordinance on,
9:57 pm
on these men in the street. so that as you rightly say, has complicated things even more it's made. the reporting of this will even more dangerous. but of course, the productivity, enjoying lists that you see on the ground, especially also committed to that work. and they take risks as a means of, of getting the story out. and they understand the risks. but to yeah, thing like a drug and whether it be gathering information, whether it be guiding ordinance onto a given. so i'll get a whether indeed be dropping bombs on a given target has made things a lot more dangerous, a lot more complicated, a lot more challenging for the many journalists trying to cover this will. all right, we'll leave it the thanks so much, charles transferred. so let's just wrap up the news the, our colleague simon, to upload that file just sierra john listing garza killed in an x ray. the strike
9:58 pm
that brings us to the end of this news out of my colleagues. as i'm c. coby backs is another for shows a staying with us, the the, the, i'm them i can select the feed, my yeah. lovely thought about left hands on the left the i can left the shuttle. but it's my go to the message. have easy to handle this.
9:59 pm
and so let's check the, the window in the name of protecting the public. an unprecedented cross. civil liberties is underway. ridiculous threats and diplomacy. simulation witness follows a lawyer fucking courts and police bonds to reverse the trend. everybody was fight against racism. and then also acknowledge that there's, as you can see, henry palestine and in berlin on that jersey to the
10:00 pm
the, the, the, [000:00:00;00] the on hasn't because this is the news life from the coming up in the next 60 minutes. i just had a camera man, sam at about the car has been killed. fine is really miss out in golf. israel is intensifying. it's
