of hours, but the value it didn't really refuge account has been on the east very intense compartment since the early days of this fighting which were up to them. october the 7th. well mainly during the last couple of hours, more than 20 palestinians have been killed and as strikes in devalue richard, you come with a 100 palestinians. also, others were wounded on what transported to receive a treatment for the fax from the ground that that they are still people who are still missing under the russells, which really gives us a please find that how much the situation is dia, the, as the communication were previously completely blocked out to them. now it's had gradually start to return the, the level of attacks had been widely now become much more clear as the southern areas as will continue to witness most is really showing. during the last hour, i especially con, you to city, which had been now turned into a back tooth zone, where a street fighting that had to get much more furious. as the progress is, um,
8:04 pm
it is very also intense appliance rates of attacks from the main central neighborhoods of gauze city, especially up to a beverage and neighborhoods that are adjacent to i should. yeah. yeah. at a town in the middle of does this trip down a cup? what was it before? say, drop that. thank you to be well as well as prime minister benjamin netanyahu is under intense pressure to institute. as he's following garza is what he's angry after the military announced at killed 3 captives in the strip or what carrying wide flags in garza said he, when they were shocked by is really full, says holland fisher reports for bulky by these tourism. it's dominating using israel. what could have been a moment to celebrate no, a national tragedy. 3 men held captive in gaza, cutting white flags walking towards those say to save them. and then show that truth can know too. i like to go down
8:05 pm
a while. when i was informed about the terrible tragedy it shocked me alone, summer and you know, tom survived the inferno for 70 days. they were just a step away from freedom and they really touched redemption. and that's when the disaster happened. they broke my heart to broke the whole nation's heart for the families of the captives together every day and tell them be, this is their worst nightmare. don't understand how are me with people who came out with a white flag and shirtless, interesting shots and 2 goals of the war of presented by the government, which is destroyed. come off and i don't know. i owe you a 110 years. i can, we can not continue despite the us war and keep the captives the lives. the military has defended the actions of the soldiers, even though the captives were waving white flags. they've sent you instructions to units to avoid another try to the has been external pressure on israel for weeks to
8:06 pm
end the water and gaza. but this will increase the internal pressure with a lot of the criticism aimed at benjamin netanyahu. himself that the males brand has been done on what is seen as a colossal a security intelligence and strategic feeling on server settings. um and so with that brand, he cannot hold off the power in the past. uh, another election. uh he is taking a new brand and i fix the ticket he's gonna run on is opposition to the palestinian authority. returning to god at the beginning of the cabinet meeting. benjamin netanyahu said families of dead soldiers that sent them letters are to him to continue the war, appointed response to the going internal pressure under cleared indication. that's exactly what he's going to do. i would say sure, i'll just either, you know, keep tight east jerusalem. israel is also facing increasing international pressure to stop expensive in garza from since become the latest country to cool for an
8:07 pm
immediate durable truce. you know, so it comes off to the killing of a french government employee and it's really striking russell on wednesday earlier today. francis phone, but it's the meta is really counts ponton television and the following that she held discussions with paula signs of foreign minister in his i'm a law group also what we think. and what we're seeing is that the media truth is necessary, allowing progress to be made towards the ceasefire, to obtain the release of the hostages to allow access into the liberty of more humanitarian aid to the sufferings civilian population of gods. and in fact, to move towards the humanitarians, this fire and the beginning of a political solution, a correspond bennett smith joins us now from television and bennett, international and domestic pressure ramping up. really, all these really probably minutes the what's the view from is royal tonight. bobby international pressure is about the high level of civilian casualties. even
8:08 pm
the americans, i've been complaining about thoughts and then i'm calling for a safe spot. the domestic pressure is about the captives and the there's always been a discussion about the cap davis is whether you negotiate to release the captives or whether you keep up this enormous military pressure of this bombing campaign on how much to try and squeeze more time to the more concessions out to them further down the line. that's the, it's been the length of policy that the governments pursued. because of the killing of the 3 captives by the 2 soldiers. it's bolt pressure to perhaps try and return to the ghost writing table to the full israel suggested before we knew about the killing of these captives that it was looking about anyway, late to this week. well, now it might be doing it earlier than it wanted to, because it's riley's now been on the back foot and re in terms of the hostage families. but it also shows that there's really been, well, there's no public questioning of the military tactics because what happened when those the captives were killed. it was a clear demonstration. israel's military shoots to kill civilians even if i wearing,
8:09 pm
even if i fla waiving a white flag. this has happened before civilians in gaza kills when they've been waving a white flag or trying to surrender. previously, it was palestinian citizens, but there's no note to say no indication that the people realized that they what's happened to those 3 shoulders show, 3 civilians shows the military shooting to kill typically submitted. what now in terms of these right in the military and the way they all conduct themselves in operations in gauze, what are they saying? of the 3 is really military has released video of what they say is the biggest, some of the, of, of a discovered on the gaza and in comparison to the other tunnels, we've seen it certainly by the size and its capacity is a very big tunnel indeed. can take a vehicle down it, it's just about n is just about 400 meters from the arrows crossing in northern gaza indication
8:10 pm
from the is really military's this tunnel was able to carry launch numbers of fights as down it would be able to launch their thoughts on arrows that they didn't say whether that's what happened from now on october. the 7th, as i thought, that's an indication that these rails milledgeville says i didn't know that this tunnel existed until i found it. there was no intelligence before october. the 7th that it was that i need to next, you know, it's a very launch tool. most of the footage of tunnels we've seen previously, they've been pretty small, quite crum, just got one or 2 people in the, in them with difficulty. so this is on the different engineering scale, military of course, concerned that it could be hostages, captives held in these tunnels. so it says it has to be careful about how it goes exposing them and searching them and destroying them. but as i say, an indication is ralph, as hundreds of tunnels on the gauze of this is that main target. and they believe on the some of them that are still captives. i'm to,
8:11 pm
some of them hiding. and some of them is how much this leads to the update that's very much to bend. that's with the force in television. now the influential us republican senator lindsey graham says israel will have to accept the 2 state solution if it wants to normalize ties with saudi arabia speaking to nbc and use the storage critic of present to abide and praise. the administration's efforts to push for normalization deal to my friends and as will you do whatever you think is best for the state of visible i can tell you. sorry arabian other eric countries cannot normalize with this rule if they seen, if there hadn't been seen is the one the palestinians under the bus. we have 2 choices. continue this file or use october, so that is a catalyst for change. i think this the arrows are going to man some form of the 2 state solution, the recognize israel and think israel's gone demand security buffers different than before and they need to make those demands. i don't know how this ends,
8:12 pm
but i'll tell you this. if we don't get this right, this time we're talking about another generation of just tit for debt. the football show is professor of security and ministry studies on the, the institute for graduate studies and joins us now. lindsey graham can say what everyone's about, what might happen the day after is what's happening now. that's really important. and strategy seems to be the operative word for both the israelis on the palestinian fighters from either side. what do you think the strategy is right now? well, for the palestinians, i think it's the strategy of trying to, to destroy the wills of these ladies, to fight and not necessary to capt abilities and capacities. the cap abilities are quite significant in terms of the talking about the over 5 divisions on the ground plus the area of the naval on all the assets. a $24.00 foot s as intelligence as it says, cyber assets and so on. so they're,
8:13 pm
they're very much focused on the wheels. so the wheels, but it's a, it's attacked by 2 things. one, the rising number of casualties. and how is that reflected on the is 80 public on one. and we're talking um, checking the idea of website to be a v, all we're almost done is a casualty of the hour. so it was a, well, it's $454.00 right now and usually with the casualties you wanted. but with this is fatalities just fatalities. if you usually multiply by 3 to 5 to 2, that's the issue between the killed and the wounded as to if we're having like 454 . if they did that, these then would probably the range of $1500.00 in terms of the wounded, or if it's 5, then it within the range of $2500.00, which means that you have a need to be gauges out of combat now. so the more you showed us to the, i think there's really public, the more, i guess there's this waiting list because they're very sensitive to it, to,
8:14 pm
to casualties. but also there's another dimension which is a, you know, the amount of destruction and this is more how does raise fault in this for the level of destruction, of civilian infrastructure and the coverage. but the media coverage of it is, has some significant political ramifications. and therefore, pressures on the and if in the i was government in that sense, there's where you decide the strategies is pretty much simple. degrade or destroyed him. us with the, the god this, i think this is the they filed at the objective regardless of, of the hostages in the civilians. it kills into weight. but that some of the strategies have been done. you know, this is where you just had this very long strategy since 2000, almost southern 8 or the cool good morning, the gross. so they, they were more or less trying to attack every few years to destroy or the not to distort the degree time us capabilities so that they do not launch any any strikes
8:15 pm
and then keep things call them. and does that start to do seems to have change now to a complete education of, of home us and that trying to do this despite the costs. do you think that will change of the conversation is going to change when the us secretary of defense arrives into the region is expected to speak will just be to all the top officials in israel who wants to know what these weigh. the strategy is neil also be bringing gets another message from the wind talks about strategy and and for planning. i think a he tried to tell them this multiple times that uh, the indiscriminate bombardment is not a strategy. and it's just that white sped destruction in gather that's not his strategy. this is more or less a. but you can call it that because the ation medical bob and you so you can control, it will call it whatever you like. but it's not really a strategy so, and the us is very sensitive in that because they had frontiers and have done this, done the rock. and they engendered enough opposition because of some of the
8:16 pm
dynamics of in the lot industry and bombardment, but the heavy, heavy, shutting in a way in the more or less a heavy handed military. um, uh, okay. all stations in a way that engender then the end of the a defeat, the strategic defeat. and then i've got to start. so i think what's, what is a, what you would want to understand from these raises? what is that in game? and how is the current operation that is going on will make them get them closer to this strategic objective. and this is unclear for anyone at the moment of see what happens. marshall, thanks for joining us. cause a little bit more as the evening progressed as thank you are still ahead here. um, is there a 2nd time run both of them? should i go to the polls again to decide on the new constitution? the
8:17 pm
mold and untold stories from asia and the pacific. on would you say around what you're looking at, that is one of the breach points through which how much flight is came into it as well. warning sirens here is a s like some slight y'all just has remarkably intensified during the last couple of hours. we've seen these as strikes really concentrated on residential homes in residential buildings. there's a dangerous times of regional spillover, of course, as long as the conversation here is a minute inside the hospital, then without oxygen, without electricity, the beated inside. they are dying for now, less than an hour away from the start of the ceasefire. 50 feet cap since full feet release over st periods, one more batch of prisoners when people, once a permanency is fired,
8:18 pm
the the, [000:00:00;00] the book and bucket, what you'll just bear with me. so robin and how reminder of all top stories, phones has become the latest country to cool for an immediate and durable tracing garza, the announcement comes up to the killing of one of its government employees and it is really as strong can rasa on wednesday, as well as prime minister benjamin netanyahu was an intense pressure to institute to cease firing, gaza,

8:25 pm
young that any attempt to call need the country would result in the end of the north korean regime. fighting between the sudanese army on the power at military rapids support forces has breached the central city of was mcdonny. thousands of people living fulls to fee that have many took refuge in the city with violence. pray accounts in the capital call to more than 12000 people have been killed, and 5000000 display seems to stall to the conflict instead of russia's ruling policy has unanimously supported president vladimir putin has been for re election with the policy conference in moscow station will be seeking another 6 your time in the march election next year. now he's promised to make russia a sovereign self sufficient power. now this event, that's good, i'm glad that you let us say the scale of historical challenges facing russia requires a united front will pay, trusting forces. the task is facing the russian federation, a growing like
8:26 pm
a snowball, because russia is a winter country and loves the current times their class on this, and get asian known as readiness to respond to even the most difficult challenges. the voters in july of deciding whether to replace it's called education that they've spent the dictatorship is like a state tennessee. this is the 2nd time that you like is hold a referendum on the replacement to the current constitution, as well as major protests against inequality that gripped the nation in 29 team. now the new draft is considered more conservative, unlock it friendly because there was lots in america to lucy and even said this updates from some to younger. indeed, this is actually the 3rd referendum in as many years if you count the original one in which the chileans were asked whether they wanted a new constitution in the 1st place. 80 percent of people said they did what they got the 1st time around wasn't what they wanted. and you're asking me if this version is what they do want. i can tell you right now because a surprising amount of people say they still don't know how they've been involved,
8:27 pm
and they're saying that just as they go into the dark room is it's called here. so this is a very, very odd situation. but what i can tell you without uh, without any doubt, is the this version that took 6 months actually to write the 1st 6 months was to decide on the rules. so it was a very quickly written version, only written by politicians rather than democratically elected ordinary citizens as it happened the 1st time round. this, this version has the same original sydney feel like as the, as the original one. and that is that it is being dominated by one sector on the political spectrum, the extreme right wing, while the other one was very, very much dominated by the far left, which is why julian's rejected it as to radical. whether people will agree to just go along with it, thinking that it's better this than nothing at all. i can tell you right now, that's really going to be the question that will be decided when the boat start to
8:28 pm
be counted in about 4 hours time. and that's it for them to be back to moon using hot not, but you can keep up data that everything is going on with the will on goals of by looking onto a website that al jazeera, don't come. the weather is next. and then inside story, we'll look at the prospects of another sci fi in garza until and thanks for your time and your company, the, the hello the, the weather is looking very settled across the middle east and live and we do have a little weather system that's pulling its way from east and areas of to kia, taking the west to weather with a wintry edge to the core. because i need to know the areas of a run that will bring the temperature down into runs. 13 degrees celsius the on monday. i'm think the set to cool down across that event more in the way of cloudy weather as well, pushing in,
8:29 pm
but for the south of this lots of sunshine and settled conditions. now that's not the case. as we move to the north of africa, we seem to very what and when do you have a continuing to plague? algeria as well as to nicea and libya, some of that rain stretching its way further south. as we go monday into tuesday, we could see some flooding from those heavy rains that for the south, it is a bit cooler for places like, but you know, fast. so we're expecting temperature is probably below the average of the next few days. that in terms of what to weather and has slipped its way for the south. we've seen some pretty fis thunder storms developing southern areas of and go to push it across into zambia, botswana and zimbabwe. here's up slightly for janice book in south africa over the wet weather returns on choose day. lots of sun shines of cape town at 22 degrees celsius to his book at 28, west, a weather dominating further east. the
