a tour of the middle east to. and his writing media says how mazda is read, are open to tools on a new says, find an exchange of captives in prison, has to be mediated by casa negotiation stoled at the beginning of the month after a week long, 65 collapse. that's bringing our correspondent alan official. he's joining his life from occupied east jerusalem. and allen lloyd austin is due to touch down as israel and becoming alice. he is the latest us official to do. so do we expect him to put any more pressure on israel than others from the us administration? but the only way we'll know is if that plays the way the americans have been talking. they say that they would like to see an end to this phase of the war sometime by the end of the year. but we've had from your kalonski is really defense minister. we've had for benjamin that yahoo, the prime minister saying the war will go on. now it's load, austin is meant to bring some sort of expertise of pipe in warfare because he was
11:03 am
the senior us commander when they were fighting in afghanistan on the right. and he wants to talk to them about this strategic objectives. namely, the defeat of some us, but he will also warn about the number of civilians that are being killed and how is that is leaking support for israel across the globe not. but there's also a lack of support in the is really itself, not a huge lack of support, but it is growing particularly after the death of 3 of the captives in the last few days that has put pressure on benjamin netanyahu. its dominating using israel. what could it be now moving to celebrate no, a national tragedy. 3 men held captive in guys a walking towards those sent to save them. and then short date, troops cannot do. i like to go down a while. when i was informed about the terrible tragedy it shocked me alone, summer and your tom survived the in for an over 70 days. they were just
11:04 am
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 me to be this is their worst nightmare. i don't understand. how are me with people who came out with a white flag ensure that they're just being shot 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 use for and keep the company with the lives. the military has defended the actions of the soldiers. they've sent you instructions to units to avoid another tragedy. there has been external pressure on israel for weeks to 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
11:05 am
has been done in uh, 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 and the past. another election. he is taking a new brand and i fix the ticket he's gonna run on is opposition to the palestinian authority. returning to gun at the beginning of a cabinet meeting, benjamin netanyahu said families of dead soldiers that sent them letters are doing him to continue the war pointed response to the going internal pressure and to clean indication. that's exactly what he's going to do. i would say sure, i'll just do that. you know, keep fight, east jerusalem. let's make something absolutely clear. the majority of people in israel are behind the war and guys have behind the idea of defeating a mice and benjamin that. yeah. who knows that even though pictures of the captives trying to surrender, trying to elapse these really mean by putting up messages,
11:06 am
obsessed to west help kid not putting on this side of a world to let them know that this is happening. know that may sway a few levels of support, but benjamin netanyahu noise the majority of people may not support him personally, but certainly support the war. the other thing to know is that in the last couple of hours, these really are, may have food items video, showing one of the senior officers, reminding the soldiers that they should not wait. should people cut in white flags on a boat to surrender? that's because of what happened to the captain, but there are many people questioning whether they would still be issuing that if the dead or palestinian island. thank you very much for that. allen officials joining us live from occupied east jerusalem. and let's get more on this. remind one, rob, hello, he's live in washington dc. many how much pressure is president biden on the, to use the leverage that the us has with its allies ro. so
11:07 am
there, there certainly is quite a bit of pressure on the, by the administration for the united states to use that leverage to influence is real, to both minimize civilian casualties and bring this conflict to an end. on the one hand, you have escalating attacks against us military personnel in places like a rock and syria. there is escalating attacks against merchant ships and u. s. navy ships and the southern red sea. by iranian back to these in yemen, in terms of political pressure. republicans on capitol hill certainly are putting pressure on the binding ministration to do more to show strength against eroni and back groups in the region. this is part of the reason why we're seeing us defense officials like us defense secretary lloyd austin, traveling to buffering, to cuts out the israel. and this is part of that strategy for the united states to flex is political, to flex, its military might in the region, both in the mediterranean, the, in the red sea, not only to deter further attacks against military personnel,
11:08 am
further attacks against version ships, but to prevent this conflict from spilling over into a wider conflict in the region. there was also pressure on the by the administration from civil society groups from groups that are growing weary over the this conflict continued to drag on president biden's approval rating and sub support of, of the by the ministration is eroding, as the conflict continues to drag on so the bottom line here, yes, the bite administration is under pressure to bring this conflict to an end. but there is the question over how much influence the united states really does have over israel to make that happen. all right, many, thank you very much for that. this model on the roof and i live in washington, dc of the un says garza is becoming the graveyard of a population trapped between both siege and deprivation. and also more than 2 months of closure as well. so as it's temper, verbally videos and the cut them up, assign him crossing to allow move humanitarian aid into gaza. cut them of asylum is
11:09 am
located with the borders of egypt. garza and israel means it's used for large trucks carrying goods, fuel, and 8 into gaza before the whole 850 trucks would enter the strip every day through the costs and with as well. and these off across and with egypt that end at one is rather imposed a complete blockade on october the 7th, 2 weeks into the conflict, the 1st few commanded hearing a trunks were allowed. aid could only enter through the also crossing the number of trunks delivering 8 increased only marginally, some temporary c 5 a was him off last month for a show for the the as on needs of the people in gaza. that's bringing correspondence. had him moved. he's joining us live from dasa and southern gaza and had him what's led to the opening of this crossing and could we see more age coming through it? so yes we're, we're getting more reports on the number of of trucks being allowed to through
11:10 am
carmen shalom. and we, we, we got also a confirmed report about that. those the trucks being outlined through current shuttle masters security clearance after they arrived through of our crossing and then to transfer to farm. so on our in box a managed and, and will be delivered by honor y add the remaining, and humanitarian and trucks are going to be coming out of flowing into gaza through rough i crossing, getting me in the, the, our manage and, and will be deliberate through the palestinian red across the intent and that it gives us an a sense of, of what kind of goes of aid that are going to be delivery through crime. so long. we're talking mainly about the medical supplies as well as the food that the few will supply that beach there has been. talk about it within the past few days that increase the amount. but all of this, anything that is manage and, and operated and delivered by on our will be late through car. i'm show on the remaining of the it will be through run by a crossing after getting the security clearance that the low is at check point. and
11:11 am
even if there is marginally more a being allowed in the gaza, that it strikes the indiscriminate air strikes, continue and across the strip and southern gaza, that is really on the launch strikes across the city of con unit. stay with us for a moment, honey. let's look at what's happened that one child was killed. several other people injured when a shell hit on maternity leave on sunday. hundreds of people have been taking shelter in the move, bought a cost patrol, which is part of the knots or medical complex. when did she put me guardian for the money we were sitting inside and i was putting my daughter to sleep. my neighbors were being treated for their injuries. suddenly we saw smoke and rumble on us. it was difficult to see anything through the sick smoke. i helped my daughter tight and started screaming and called up for help. i jumped out of bed and rushed outside of hunting medical facilities have been attacked throughout the war. but do we know why there was a strike near
11:12 am
a maternity horse and the mouse or medical complex the they will so far? we know there are no turn. so this war and isabella is really military, has been a discriminant, lead and disproportionately targeting palestinians, not only residential homes and also public facilities that are the past few weeks are just show us that the great deal of evidence of house schools and public facilities including hospitals have been the target of the a is really relentless airstrikes and in the, in the, the, the beginning of the word, the word allegations any claims but by these really monetary. but now we see hospitals and schools are being targeted without even the need for putting out the navigation. or i claim that the hosp adults could be used for other purposes at other the fact that it's a place for, for healing the, the attack on, not their hospital reminder for, for people that the scenario that happened to ship a hospital,
11:13 am
denisia hospital and all the the remaining and all the health facilities in the northern part of garza is going to happen again. and if this is not the 1st time we see it's happening unfortunately, honey, thank you very much for that. that is honey muscles, live in the alpha in southern gaza and a northern gaza emergency crews and volunteers are searching for survivors. fungus very strikes on sunday. at least 90 people were killed in the giovanni a refugee camp that's been repeatedly targeted since the start of the war. well than a 100 others were injured. correspondent static i was doing reports from gaza in the value of refugee camp in, nor bring cause another day of morning at least very strong kit, a residential locked in the hours. families have just 3 twice the bodies of loved ones from under the russell. the dead receive lost gifts before being taken for perio in the southern vault. we were sleeping and they attacked us in the early
11:14 am
morning. they hit us twice and the killed and wounded were everywhere, including the displaced people, the scenario family with the shop family. in addition to other displays, people from all new. so we're all here is we'll have repeatedly targeted the densely populated good that we account. since this talk to the conflict, the scenes of destruction repeated this morning's attacked the coast, whites of great damage. what's the use really occupation forces have targets at the house? does she have families and to valley out of pocket or a full dead? hey, under the rubber. a large number of killed and wounded people who are in a critical condition has been recovered and moved from one of the victims, the young or the most presented a reality that your value of residence to go to comprehend followed. the majority of people killed our children and women. i have no idea why the occupation forces
11:15 am
have exterminated the residents and displaced people here. nearly 19000 palestinians have been killed since the start of the war on gauze on in october. inter valia. grief is unrelenting, and homes are no longer centuries. tarika by zoom roughly out here to the head on knowledge, a 0, a mass of one of 5 and gold fuel debt, colonial high security prison and guineas capital. and a provincial board to their voc often gets, but a boy called cold may not let people exercise their franchise. the paddler that is lots of fine and settled whether to be found across europe at the moment. thanks to high pressure that's dominating across central areas. but still
11:16 am
some unsettled with a griffin to the edges of that system very when, when the conditions affecting parts of the mediterranean. we've got fundamental mornings out on monday facility as well as some gusty winds. that what, whether pushing into northern parts of africa. but from the southeast corner, some improvement for greece and turkey, as the weather system has moved away, but still, temperature is a little bit less below the average. here it is. feet include up, but twice and twice guys persist across the eye. barion potential level of the sunshine, spain and portugal. it's looking more mild as well for the fonts, but the rain isn't very far away. monday into tuesday you can see working its way across the southern parts of britain and the island divided in some gales kicking in. there as well, and that weather, stretching its way from the low countries across, into germany, denmark as well, a wintry edge coming in to know is that with most snow and some also on the cards for most so you can see that wintry system pushing its way through southern parts of russia, which i'm ready, a more mild of feeling to the region,
11:17 am
12 degrees celsius, the in london, 15 in athens, some improvement on tuesday, with sunshine thought provoking on. but the patient doesn't have time to wait for the extremely unfortunate script. there are no quick wins and eventually some odd hitting interviews. do you feel like america is less than days of these days? or is it just a different full? i think that democracy is a process basically, entities do you feel that the fraction is already starting the g 7 in the us on one side, china and the brakes on the other? i think there is a huge piece of that to happen here. the story on talk to how does era the
11:18 am
the you watching me and there's a problem and don't have a mind of on top stories. the solid, the us defense secretary is on his way to israel's adults with its latest earlier this month with austin williams. as really government, prostate strategic, the face of gaza says failed to protect the palestinian civilians. as one has temporarily rios indeed cut them on the solemn crossing between israel and scotland for the 1st time since october. the 7th. 24 trucks carrying humanitarian aid for loud in that is far short of what's needed to help people in this trip. and that was really ami, has lot stripes across sconces, southern city of call you this one child was killed and several people in charge of an a shelter to maternity, one at the mouse or medical complex nature on sunday. as with being a patient, did us defense secretary is traveling to is we're not as close quote for me. sees
11:19 am
file washington has deployed to aircraft carriers and 5 digits to the region during the will. and it's supposedly moving moving ships from the array of you and go to the gulf of aidan, to the, to the attacks on the red sea alex could topple us, takes a look at the us military assets in the region. the military and support israel's received from the united states has be massive, giving it free rain as it tries to destroy home us. the united states dispatched to aircraft carriers tried groups the thoughts of the conflict. the u. s. s. for the world's most advanced aircraft carrier and the largest bullshit ever built is currently in the eastern mediterranean, along with his support fleet. the us always in the how is on patrol in the gulf is massive complement of flight to just reinforcing the air and naval assets in the region. a us marine expeditionary unit is selling off the coast of human acting as a base, a mobile headquarters for an assortment of high level special forces from the us navy and air force, coordinating regional intelligence gathering. and for psych,
11:20 am
naples, surveillance aircraft, and high tech global hawk spike drones. i've been flying up the coast of goza gathering information on how much i need to regional supporters of the us has ring the middle east with fleets of ships, aircraft, submarines, and drones. and this is in addition to the us, so for sending jets to jordan and the colossal military assets already in place in bahrain, carpet coo 8 and the you a, the american military aid is allowed israel to continual. it's wholesale destruction of gauze amended ensuring that how much is allies a suitably intimidated and the tut from taking any military action. that's bringing us of alonzo. he's a professor of political science and international relations at casa university. good to see list of alonzo. so the us is expected to tell israel to scale down it's operations while at the same time increasing its military assets. it's, it's, it's naval assets and the region. well, the,
11:21 am
the meet the assets in division and especially that these, a colleague a is meant to look like do movements in bub unbundle. obviously the auctions by the hotel is recently had a some results they've probably get to a number of shapes. they made it clear, but as long as is life continues to bump about that goes up, they will do whatever they can. so obstruct any movements of shapes, especially those going to be able to basically build a couple of the shipping companies for, for shipping companies. okay. not to use this approach anymore. and there was a lot of tools that the defense secretary lloyd austin is going to be announcing this international task force to escalate ships in the red sea. are they increasing again, are they increasing the military assets in the region to protect this military interests or also commercial interest?
11:22 am
the 1st one is the commodity interests. i mean, i didn't know do for the companies. and secondly, the look of uh, insurance companies, but they used to be a premium for insurance for any ship it up. it goes to the baltic, i don't think so. i think that the auctions buy difficulties achieved certain objectives and lead the us the to think of this specific uh, auctions, obviously this should be, or we'd be, i think, uh, supposed to buy some kind of, uh, pressure on these like the governments to scale down. it's going bottom on garza and also to find some sort of tools in order to exchange business. and when we came here and this was, you know, scale down the operations and gaza doing what that means. what does that look like to the us when i think it's me look the issue a little but as little as feel civilians as possible of can if referred
11:23 am
to as collected them by message. and also the us, the seem to would like to be seen to put pressure on these ladies. it's kind of the 6 the size because the does the population does. if it goes up it's very, very difficult to scale by one on recipient casualties. so with the defense secretary come in to put that pressure on as well. and the head of that is where the intelligence agency has already met the country. prime minister interestingly, and then region capital also of the weekend and not in doha kasha. i like they had during the last round of negotiations that with all the that happening you optimistic for another 65 for the release of captives and exchange for the release of palestinians in his way to james. i mean, the us for the of low is concerned that it was a meeting or for the ministers in ols low. so it's kind of a coincidence,
11:24 am
but also has also a significant uh meaning for both these ladies are the bodies, simians, because it 1993 because it's also piece of o as little piece like gold as far as the americans are concerned. i do know this as a new thing, but usually needs extra pressure from the americans to do something. the fact that not audio dispatched to have the most odd to is low to meet with the customer. these funds are a major. the value in brooklyn. deed suggests that these ladies are willing to do something despite the nothing's coming about from but not the video. that wouldn't be item for the optimistic, but that wouldn't be a peaceful settlement or some kind of tools, especially given the fact that violence has not achieved a need of the 3 objectives. the lines or that is use of the ones that have caught
11:25 am
university. thank you. very much, thank you. is there any forces have stepped, operates across the occupied westbank front of them. i love to best to have a nap list of hills and thousands of palestinians including children since it's possible. that is why the military has also reportedly prevented ambulances from reaching the injured hold on. i've been how many reports from now bless a little home from the show they are in life. and this is rose occupation besides the fate of palestinian. it's been nearly 2 years since mesa and her husband last so their son. so it did. courtney was a 23 year old living in nablus, who loved motor bikes. she became a member of the lions. then a group made up of youth, rebelling against the occupation. he died in confrontation with these or 80 soldiers. 2 weeks later, they received a letter saying the body had been confiscated by israel. all they had to bury was
11:26 am
his hand, a bag and his partially burnt. i must come. how the other fish we i'm going. it's only when he died. did we discovered she was part to the existence? no, no. first, i went to the hospital and his friend told me, my son was that i wanted to see his buddy, but they said it was taken away as symbolic funeral was held. but the thing is really, the family were told that if this man now buried here, had at the time given themselves up, the remains of their son would have been returned. now this policy of withholding bodies and using them as bargaining shift has existed since the creation of the state of israel. actually, it was inherited from the british mandate. but it's only since 2015 that it's intensified to it's a policy that jews fight the against the british presidents in palestine. the cry
11:27 am
that the time hundreds of bodies had been confiscated since the occupation of the west bank started in 1967 a subject on that exam. so my thoughts that's going to someone's boss can begin before they kept the bodies of how much support is so somebody carried out and attacked. then the user id cabinet decided to keep all the bodies regardless of any medical affiliation topic. and sometimes the reason of this can be obscure on the screen and the moose, i know is that the 15 year old son mohammed looked his father's garden evening in december 2021 at the home of the mother. a couple of hours later, this video already on social media and shows the car after the teenager rammed it into a check point. and my mother standing there was a soldier injured on the ground level. not to live. we live under occupation. most you cannot figure out what triggers your child. your waste follows
11:28 am
was happening on his mobile phone. i don't know what affected him exactly, but killed him. anyone the suspect of anything. so i don't know how y'all do you all have. i also left the wallet immediately, or maybe they interrogated him. first of all, i don't know. it comes to how many hours was he held? was he tortured? i don't know. so many things. this dream had the grave made to get closer to the youngest son who was asking after his brother. but for her closure would only come when the body of her son is late to risk. and that's at the will of these wills, military occupation. for that, how many elders you nablus has been you some other world news now and i may define as blending and beginning in capital. connor cree was triggered by an explosion of fuels effort on the colored and internet and the central of the city. the facility is the concrete central prison and residential areas. dozens of people have been
11:29 am
injured and defies reported to be spreading from the fuel, deaf ocean, nearby neighborhoods. the cause of the explosion is unknown. a rocky vote as a head into the poles and the 1st provincial elections and a decade. the ruling sheet and with some alliance is likely to extend its grip on palla, its main political arrival. these solve this movement, as boy cautioned the election. the provincial voyage sets the stage for parliamentary elections scheduled for 2025. that's bringing our correspondence mark with at the why have he's live for us in can cook and a significant election even move. so those where you are much more than capital province, which is witnessing it for the 1st time and need the 20 is indeed elizabeth to these elections are so significant, given the fact that they give the provincial council members large scale law, both parties by virtue of the constitution,
11:30 am
they can drop laws and they can around the budgets of but each province they can create or establish projects. and the can also be a and, and the thing between the province people and the center and government in about that also eh, it is a step forward for those who are winning or those windows to give credits to the collections to the kind of parties. a step forward, they can gain ground. we can have a step forward towards parliament, feet elections in the city of clue. what do we are at now? it is so special. it is so significant because, but it's of old, critical hasn't, has, hasn't had that election for.
