2:05 am
but nobody said we'll be able to kill the pictures. samuel captured at the cost of his own life iconic. at times harsh pictures that will remain engraved in the memory of millions of viewers. that how many of these are the statement released by august 0 says the network condemns in the strongest terms . the is really drone attack on a goal is a school that resulted in the killing of come or my son are? i will duck. it adds the network codes is real accountable to systematically targeting and killing algebra journalists, and the families and extends it sincere condolences to the family in gaza and in belgium of the late colleague summer i would talk with the killing of some of the duck of the number of journalists and media work is killed in gaza has reached the 90. i'll just say we're just the international community. i'm the international criminal court to take immediate action to hold these ready government under the
2:06 am
tree. accountable. o, tara assume has more from rafa in southern gaza, a disease or a camera man. so some rubber car had been killed by these very occupation military drugs. that'd be soluble. that had hit him alongside with our colleague well at the door who had been in j as in his hand as they were reporting. one of the latest is really strikes on our united nation run school, where people were taking shelter inside a summer had been killed as he was delivering the truth of for the world and for the international community. as he had been focusing all of his carry on reporting of the real story for on the ground inside the territory. he was a very close and a adorable colleague who had always supported us to keep reporting and to be honest and the ease of the audience on the ground. now, cyber had left,
2:07 am
i'd been killed by the isabel. the forces left behind old memories together that had been, we have been experiencing throughout the 70 days of these really military tackling the territory and with the killing of sand the, the number of palestine don't list who and the report as well had been killed since the beginning of this amount of fighting has rise into around 90 palestinian during list and attempt to silence the palace the narrative from inside the territory tare . so by soon i would just euro roughly in the south. if the goal is this trip. well, that's close to the now and correspondence iran con. um iran, you've spent long stance reporting in gaza working with colleagues the but it's, it's pretty humbling what they're doing. tell us what, what, how your effects on what's happening today as well. even just walking into the remodel office. how are you a place that you've walked into a number of times as well? just saying the faces of our colleagues kind of just says it will. everybody is
2:08 am
carswell then everybody's upset and in shock. and that's reflected um when talking to offer lo correspondence. hey, um, if you allow me to send those results, i need a very quick story since the world began. i and the number of my colleagues, we'll talk about this constantly. we're all wake up in the morning i'm. we're checking all phones. the very 1st thing that we do, we're checking to say if you, on the if hand, if honey if terry, if stuff watch, if sammy, and if not her are all still alive. people that we work very close to those last in be, are in garza in january and to even then it was tough. so those guys size, you'd be reposing that because of this age. and this is something that is just world kind of completely in all of when it comes to a palestinian journalist but not just in gaza, even the here in the occupied westbank palestinian german. this isn't
2:09 am
a single one that you will speak to the one tell you a story of either being detained or being shot that who are being tag gas still being harassed. the old, that families being harassed since october the 7th. it's go a lot tougher to be a palestinian gen unless you're lupins of a restricted by these right. it is very difficult to get from remote let's say to hebron easily and yet they still do what they doing. and this is really the message that i've taken away from all of our colleagues and goals are they wake up every morning. we might be worried about them, but they wake up the morning with a determination to continue to keep reports. i don't wanna say that keeps me going and i mean, actually in or of it. well indeed, and presumably before, uh, all of this happened. you wouldn't be expecting to report on the news in ramallah during the course of the day. and there have been some lines, especially from jake sullivan,
2:10 am
the us national security advisors visit through miller and his talks with the policy and president. and that's absolutely right now, what jake sullivan has done is shed some light into this idea that the americans want to revive revitalize the palestinian authority of every clip. they want the power steering, you know, authority in charge and goes up the day of to have mass is what the problem is that of israel benjamin netanyahu close at now they want at least a 1000 a p, a security forces in goes up and they wouldn't another 3 to 5000 who in the occupied where spike they want an arab contingent to that as well, although they haven't given any specific details. but this has almost been outright rejected by these, right? these, these right, these one of them much bigger. ready in garza, off the dates of the shooting stultz. one of the idea is these ready is proposing which will be very difficult for the palestinian authority to swallow. is this idea
2:11 am
of a buffer zone inside the gaza strip some to come on because all the way around the gaza strip is a buffer zone inside that territory patrolled by the is right. he's now, if you're also going to policy and you know, far as he's to come in and control the other side of that, that's something in the past. and you know, far as he goes, find very difficult because it amounts to a military occupation of the goal. is to strip right and wrong con in ramallah. thank you very much for that. and as in rome was saying palestinian john was in gaza on just covering the war. they are part of a civilian population. living under the threat of a constant is really bombardment. at least 90 palestinian john lists have now been killed in the conflict. within 50 media, premises or offices have been completely or partially destroyed by his release strikes. that includes the office of the a, s p, a 's agency in garza, hundreds of palestinian journalists and the families, including those from colleges 0 have been forcibly displaced. generalist working in areas of on conflict all protected on the international humanitarian law. as all
2:12 am
civilians under the geneva conventions, so that is what was accused of repeatedly violating those rules. well, scott griffin is the deputy director of the international press institute. he joins us from vienna. thanks very much for being with us. first the, i'm simply gonna just getting reaction to the death of our colleague summer i'll be talking to today. look, thanks for having me in the 1st reaction is how horrifying this is. we are horrified and on behalf of the international press institutional global network. i want to express our condolences to his family and friends and to the entire, out to 0 team for this horrible loss that they have suffered. nope, i mean the shooting numbers that we just mentioned then move the 90 in a little over 2 months of war. i mean, what does that say to you? is it a function of a sheer, the real city of this attack, or is that something else? i mean, a lot of palestinian generalists, a talking about targeted killings. i looked at this is the single deadliest
2:13 am
a series of journalist debts that we've had since the time i p. i begin tracking these types of statistics. this is a highly unusual and extremely dangerous situation for journalists. i think it's a combination of factors. yes, this is a war ended war journalists were on the front lines. covering events are in danger . the are inherently at risk. but on the other hand, we also know that israel has a targeted journalists in the past, including how to zeros sharing the outlay. and we also know that the killing in late october of the why does but return unless the some of the dollar, which also injured adult to 0. but now the 0 correspondence, we also have evidence that that was the targeted by killing a targeted attack. so there is a lot of concern here that these really military is targeting journalists in some cases, or is at least not taking the steps that would be necessary to protect journalists
2:14 am
in this conflict. and what about accountability? i mean, usually military will usually say it will, investigates, sometimes off to a lot of pressure and a lot of prompting. but outside of that, what kind of accountability can be brought to that? i will just do the comment that as well as accountability level of accountability, we have very little faith right now. and israel's ability to hold those responsible for the, for any of the tax on the price to account. let me look again at the situation the killing of shouldn't have. luckily, there has been no accountability in that case. and that lack of accountability. i think it forms the way that we see the rest of these cases. we see these past patterns. tax on journalists in palestine in the west bank and gaza. and that makes us very concerned that a similar pattern is happening again. what we need now is we need pressure on these real from the international community, from the united states, from to your, again, allies, to 1st, to take those steps that are necessary to protect journalists who are already reporting. we're on the ground and got that in the west bank and instead of 11 on. and we also need real transparent
2:15 am
a quick and incredible investigations into all killings. all desk journalists to understand whether these were targeted killings and if they were targeted killings, which would be a war crime as, as, as was mentioned already, that those who are responsible need to be held to account. there's no way around that accountability if we are to restore, press freedom, internal, the safety of this conflict and yours. since you isn't just focusing on press freedom, it's also about the ethics of journalism and the, the need for so good journalism i think, does, can just to reflect for a minute or 2 on the fact that while this isn't a unique situation, as you say, oh, around the world, journalists, especially in the home territory, do come on the threat and risk. but the extremity of the risk that is being experienced people having their homes and their families and their lives torn apart, while the time's still going to work and, and reporting on this conflict. i mean, how do you reflect on that? i mean, it's almost,
2:16 am
it's almost an unimaginable situation. i think for those of us or not, they're on the ground, as you've mentioned, you know, the journalists who are reporting and cause are not only themselves at risk of, of harm of being killed, but their families are. and we know that the families of journalists have been killed in some cases in their homes. and i think it's unimaginable, you know, the, the distress and the pressure that those turn was on the ground, including out to 0 is on correspondence are facing. and i think we really have to say that these journalists are carrying out that incredible, in some cases, are all the task. they are our eyes and ears on the ground. they are reviewing what is happening and revealing the truth of this, of this war. and was that without them we would be, we would be blind. and we also know that his real has not been living independent journalists into gaza and has not been really ensuring that we have that we have that information coming out. so i think we all need to be extremely grateful for this incredible work that is being carried out on the ground. and it's our duty. it's our duty as ip as a press freedom organization,
2:17 am
but many others as well to do what we can to ensure that these journalists are safe and that when they are put in danger when their lives are restored or when they are killed, that we need to do every, everything we can in their memory to make sure that those responsible or how to account and the future conditions are approved. alright, scott griffin, joining us from vienna, thank you very much. good time. now these are the ministry says it's mistakenly shot and killed 3 captives during its cause. that offensive they were targeted off the troops wrongly identified them as a threat is ready. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the military will draw lessons from the incident. the white house is called a tragic mistake. right? that's bringing home the salutes in occupied east jerusalem. especially bring us up to date a bit more on on what we know about the details of this incident. that is really military spokesperson. daniel, how god is speaking? this evening, as knowledge in that these really military shot and killed 3 is really captive in
2:18 am
the northern part of gaza. he says that there was an investigation that's now being open into what he called a tragic event. we've also been hearing from several other officials like the prime minister himself, his defense minister, and your wife guidelines. additionally war cabinet member been against all echoing the same sentiment that this was a tragedy, but they're going to use it as a lesson. and that's the force is on the ground, have a mission to 40 to them, to accomplish, and that the fighting is not going to stop. now, this situation has already inflamed the tensions between the families of the captives to bring them back now movement. and these really government, they are now blaming is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu for the depths of these captive saying that the increasing we militarized campaign is not the way to go. there is now as montane is demonstration happening outside of the defense
2:19 am
ministry until a view known as the to the there are thousands of israelis and attendance. police have now blocked roads because of how large the demonstration has become. but a lot of these family members are saying that these really themselves are killing the captives in airstrikes and now in this mistaken, after mistaking them for a threat. and that these really government is not caring so much about the release of their loved ones. they feel like the issue has been put on the back burner, and they are simply not a priority. so the families tonight are saying that time is up for these really prime minister and the war cabinet. and the captives must be returned to israel. but the government says that it's doing everything you can in order to bring back the captives. these really army says the same thing with the families of these captives say otherwise. harry, i'm just hello. thank you very much for that. for much bodies, tristan, the still ahead on out is 0. why to the world's largest shipping
