the the the hello, i'm about this and this has been use our lives from the coming up in the next 60 minutes. us to find sort of a light austin arrives in israel for hill told, told us about the ongoing war on guys. a series of is really air strikes, kills at least 200 palestinians across the strip. i'm a ton of sea water and con eunice is killing a child and is really check point to allows the 1st few trucks, if your monetary in a, till the end of the strip off to being shot for more than 2 months of war and seems

human rights watch accuse this, these are the governments of using salvation is a weapon of war and gas. the, the us defense secretary is arrived in israel for talks with leaders there. israel has been stepping up as military offensive, despite is rising international pressure. load. austin is going to be shortly holding totes, with israel's defense minister to discuss the ongoing military operation in gaza. austin had previously warned is real, but it risk strategic defeating gas. so if it failed to protect palestinian civilians, austin is going to head back to boston. right. and after a day long visit, he's also going to be visiting, caught out as part of a to, to the middle east. it is ready mail. it immediately says, hama, send israel, are open to talks on the new cease fire and exchange of captives and prisoners, to be mediated by comstock negotiation installed at the beginning of this month.

and software all week long cease fire collapsed, kind of go through all the refresher and occupied east jerusalem. this is the 2nd time recently that lloyd austin has been. and certainly one of the several visits that us officials have been making to the region. what are we expecting from this one? well, he will repeat the us line that he thinks that israel is right in its ability to attack thomas. it is right to wage war there. but will argue them again to try and conduct the war inside. international humanitarian rules and laws and also limit the number of civilian casualties. but we have had that several times before from several visiting us politicians from the president all the way down to jig sullivan, the national security advisor, who was here just a couple of days ago. and of course, we haven't seen anything impact the way that israel is conducting the war. perhaps

this may be a time when the united states issue red lines. but we've had from lloyd austin that is team. and they say it is up to israel to decide when they move on to the next stage of the war, which isn't as intense as we saw as best, but perhaps becomes much more targeted and it's operation. and so if israel decides to change the way it's conducting the work that will only become a problem in time, and then it would be more or then just be spinning from the american. but lloyd austin is aware of that is bill if losing support globally. we could see that with the you and both the talk of another one coming in the next few days. and this pressure to and benjamin netanyahu intentionally, mainly because of what happened over the last 3 days. the desk of 3 captives shot dead as they tried to give themselves up to the people who would be to save them. and that has put benjamin netanyahu under more pressure that he's been under since

october this up. it's still anything use in 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, sent to save them. and then show that truth cannot do. i like to go down to law. 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. they really touched redemption and that's when the disaster happened. it 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 to fight 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 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, as males brand has been done in my, 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. oh, and 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 a cabinet meeting. benjamin netanyahu said families of dead soldiers that sent him

letters are doing him to continue the war pointed response to the going internal pressure. and to clear indication. that's exactly what he's going to do. that's pretty absolutely clear is the majority of people and israel support the war support defeating him, us even if they don't support benjamin netanyahu himself, they see the goals of these early army as noble, even as pictures that match all the messages for help as to west from the 3 captives who were shot dead adjusted in the last few hours. these really army released a video that has gotten viral on social media across the issue of a senior is really army officer telling soldiers that they should not shoot anyone that is giving themselves up with a hands raised in the human rights watch says it's a deep consent that these really soldiers have to be reminded of this. and they

wonder how many times before this incident with 3 captives, these really would like, but how many times as this happened with innocent palestinians across the guys a strip. and thank you very much indeed don and fisher and the occupied eastern. so we're going to go to mine overall follow he's in washington dc. he's going to give us the us uncle on this money. how much pressure is there on price of environment is administration to use the leverage that the us clearly has with israel. but up to this point seems to be reluctant to utilize as the pressure certainly is mounting it on the bite and administration. this is a story of pressure. the question is how much of the pressure that's on the, by the administration is going to translate into leverage and influence that can be used on israel right now. the pressure that we're seeing on the bottom ministration terms of political pressure is from republicans who are pointing to instances of escalating attacks against us military personnel in places like iraq and syria

escalating attacks against merchant ships and us naval ships in the southern red sea. by running it back to these in yemen, what republicans, one from the bottom ministration is for the administration to show more strings against iranian back groups in the region. it's part of the reason that we're seeing the top level of us defense department officials traveling to israel right now. part of the strategy is to flex that political muscle to deter, of further attacks against commercial vessels. to deter further attacks against military personnel by the united states in places like iraq and syria, and to serve as a deterrent against this conflicts building over into a wider regional conflict. that's the political pressure here. rob are also looking at the pressure from civil society on the, by the administration to wheel that influence on israel to minimize civilian casualties, to narrow the combat zone, to change for israel to change its course. and we are seeing some of that actually

work for lack of a better term. you. you hear the change in rhetoric from a bite in administration, officials. you hear the change in rhetoric from the president himself president binding a very recently during a campaign event referred to the ongoing is really military campaign and does a as in discriminate bombing. so there are changes, at least in terms of rhetoric, but the bottom line here obviously is what we're hearing a growing course of voices here in the united states who are wanting the united states to wield that influence in, in israel, to see this conflict come to an end the question is whether or not that influence will make any difference at all. no, thank you very much. indeed. that's my new arrival of toby just in washington dc. i want to bring in honey mock mood. he's in rafa. and southern doesn't honey. how is lloyd austin's visit being perceived in garza, the disney?

since the news has started, this rating goes about another american high ranking officials coming to the the region, particularly to tell a view to be with is really a government guys that have been asking the question. i'm wondering what is the purpose of a visit when, when do you know the have already been other high ranking official visiting? got they have had no positive impact on, on their lives so far. we're seeing more palestinians are being killed at the, at the record numbers, particularly in areas that were supposed to be a safe. and that, that came under pressure from the us. but again, they are getting bumped on those particular designated safe area and safe career doors announced by the is really monetary. there's also talked about this, these fire for the past few days. but the palestinians in gaza says that there is not enough for pressure putting it from the american administration. and it for that invited on is really i would maybe, particularly when it compare with the pressure from this very public opinion with

regard to the safety of the hostages. and also the, the, the put a good, huge question about whether american administration has the ability to pressure israel to allow more substantial, a humanitarian into a place that is suffering from a star vision. and then, and a lack of despite of disease are due to the lack of and the destruction of, of, of sanitation system. all of these a questions are, are asked, i've cala city and so far they said there aren't any concrete efforts on the ground due to cause any, a positive change of the lives of college indians under as this work continues to do to level their residential homes. and to pressure them and screen them further in the southern part of the god. so there's also no evidence concrete evidence that the, the u. s. is frustrating because of it to change the course of this war in terms of intensity and magnitude. we're seeing just search of what's going on within just

the past few days. it's becoming a relatively more compared to other things as have had a city and been under this rating more since october 7th, the, the visit by the us secretary of defense that it will only bring more fear to me to my family because the united states has been the strongest supporter of up as well as since the establishment. it's established with the 1948. so with this visit, i think we should expect more as why you do violence to work towards us, palestinians, especially the gods, should expect more death, destruction, and maybe i mean yesterday, what was the 1st shipment of age coming for? look at them, show them the pick the crossing, i think at this, and this has come to pressure from the united states administration. does that sit as they should? i know they're not happy about that. the killing of thousands of on thousands of civilians regardless. but the same time that they, as well as strongest ally,

so the interest of, as well as the interest of, of the, of the united states. the visit of this a security, mr. of the american didn't change anything and we got to strip the funding continues that were continues the automated in that price the then they came into the office. we expect that the we be much, or we came in today for a gross of profound and everything is as it is that people continue with buying a said continue one being that gets his trip. so everything as is as if this one says guys is becoming the graveyard of a population from between war season deprivation. israel says it's temporarily reopened to cut them up with sullivan crossing to a lot more humanitarian aid in 2 guys. the crossing was closed for 2 months, cut them on, most of it was located for the borders of egypt, gaza and israel meet, is used for large trucks coming goods, fuel and age into gas right now before the war,

850 trucks would enter the strip every day through the crossing with israel as well as but off of crossing with egypt. a batch ended when israel imposed a complete bouquets on october, the 7th. 2 weeks ends of the conflict. a few of humanitarian aid shots have been allowed in a could only guess in getting through the rough crossing. the number of trucks delivering 8 increased only marginally since a temporary cease fire deal with homeless. last month's fall short of the staggering needs of the people of guy. so we're going to go back to honey, my food and, and roughly, so talking about was the lead to the opening of this crossing. i'm does it mean that we're going to see more age coming into garza as well, a possibility to why the delayed of the entering those, the trucks into the got through the, the mountain to get pressure coming from the, the us as well as a, from the uh, from the european union, particularly after the,

the, the 3 hostages to the, were killed by is really military fire, as well as the french diplomat who died there was the in more pressure putting in his are but not to the point where we see there is actual concrete, a concrete leon on the ground as if this is still the number of all the trucks being allowed into the gossip is very illiterate when compared to the dire needs and, and the complications are created by this ongoing war so far, 24, the trucks and they're, they're going through, they went through a very lengthy, brief product of process and coming in from a rock by pressing all the way to i load up a check point for security clearance and then they were allowed to through a cut them i will silent a crossing palestinians in gaza. things that this is this long. the process is, is not helping the are there hungry there. thursday, they weren't medical supplies and there is an imminent to starvation. and according to our records, there is a certified be on by owner where there is

a small starvation that is started to be visible in a lot of different parts uh, across the gaza strip. now on or what the trucks are going to be. it's coming through a current level site named how it wavered the remaining human history. an 8th. the trucks are going to be coming in, crossing and would be managed and delivered by the palestinian rick press. and once again, that situation, the ground, very tired. when we looked at the little number of attracts being, being allowed here, adobe say honey, the conflict is going on. we can hear the is really drones in the air above you. and also we're getting reports motor attacks. and obviously if a hospital is indeed within the past 2 hours of sleep, a hospital came under attack. that artillery showing an error strikes that. and this is what happened. people in gauze remaining in different parts of different neighborhoods of the gods to be come under heavy artillery, showing an error strikes these. these lead to ship a hospitals taking it as

a refuge. and what happened within the past due 2 hours, the main gate of the hospital was targeted again, it was already targeted when the, when there's really military stored in the hospital. but what didn't happen now it's targeted and destroyed the only remaining a building lift in the hospital. it's a little bit severely damaged when today's really military storm the hospital. but now i get completed, destroyed the reports about a many people who were injured in those that talk that they were running it from the streets inside a ship, a hospital as well as a number of people who weren't go now to try to do all of this is the fact that a super hospital is not a functioning hospital. it comes completely out of service. in fact, none of the hospitals in gauze and the part of the function and right now, and there is a fear, a growing fear that those who are injured or they need immediate medical intervention are not going to get it simply because there are no medical supplies there's no hospitals to start with, honey. thank you very much indeed, honey my. we bring us up to date from rafa in southern gaza as well as house

organizations called while she the hospital in northern garza, of blood. the boss extreme was visited facility to deliver medical supplies. we're going to speak to sean casey and emergency medical team coordinator in gaza with the w. rachel, he's joining us live from or off a good to have you with this correspondence, honey monkwood was giving an outline of what the situation was like, and i'll show you what's your take and what the situation is. thanks for having me . i was in the el cheapo on 2 days ago on saturday to deliver medical supplies for them. what we did find was the very minimally functioning possible. so there are supposed to be provided. it is extremely, it's an extremely poor conditions. so the hospital buildings on saturday when i was there and talk to the phone number and stuff present, approximately 5 and 6 doctors, 5 years and services. there were hundreds of patients thousands of internally

display 1st. and then when we walked to the emergency department, it was indeed about there was but on the floors there were patients bringing in every 30 to 62nd billings, with injuries from a gunshot wound box springs from the hospital or trying to maintain some level of service but their experience better given the number is the hospital stay. busy under this right, is it still being targeted by is really ministry and i been having served targeting when i was there, the hospital was functioning. that was 2 days ago we were intending to go again, and we did so provide me with the barriers and additional medical equipment and the 3rd clinic personnel as well. but when i was there on saturday, 2 days ago, it was, it was minimally functioning, essentially as a technician is there uh, 2 locations and in some cases uh,

were possible referring into another nearby hospital for a surgery on your team, turned up with supplies. what kind of reaction did they get from uh, the medical teams on the people who have been sheltering their of course, as well as the patients medical staff are very happy to see us, to be honest. we didn't know if the hospital was functioning with all of that sage . and what we found was that it was happening that were medical providers providing a minimal level of care doing their best. the most difficult conditions. no, there were hundreds and thousands of people in the industry and size. uh, they were all very and supported. we can help us load our trucks with medical supplies and put them in the hosting administration building. and every single person that i spoke to, including patients, invisible thing was on the water. people are 100 because they're see the hospital is barely able to function. i think they were happy to see some

support arriving, but they were leading. ready aid and were wondering what else does the hospital need in order to be able to bring it up to a standard where it might be able to cope even in the minimal fashion to be able to deal with a number of patients and people that it's having to house and it's important note that for the conflict this is the most important also i was here for oscar. ready for you and god, and this is the largest, any important business. great. so you know, it has a 100 this down 750 beds to be 20 operating systems to be able to function. again, it means to run a generator. they need to work in the hospital. it has been people who are sending the volunteers currently staffing is about to possibly it needs to needs water and it needs additional medical supplies. we're going to be delivering to in the next

couple of days to run the generates and assessments because it needs a lot of personnel. grading theaters can function at the moment because of our but also because they don't have specialist surgeries. there's many orthopedic and there's many trauma injuries require surgery. there's women who need some serious sectionals maybe. so there's a huge number. it means we're speaking to chip away and the delivery of some trauma and surgical equipment and i think delivery is too strong. casey, we appreciate you joining us and we understand, of course, that you and your team are very busy at the moment, but we are grateful to you for taking the time to talk to us. thank you. the good things in you. i'm going to release the new statement. dr. reports in the us is planning to establish a new amount of time protection force and the red sea both needs to be carrying out its attacks and commercial ships passing through those walls. as they say, the targeting ships linked to israel and protest against military actions in gaza

and the statement a prominent who was to come on the side quote, any escalation in gaza is an escalation in the red sea in any common garza is considered. come in the red sea, they run down to say, quote, any country or party that comes between us and palestine, we will confronted, we're going to speak to a corresponding cash them. how also bought a, who's here in the studio with us and this coverage am and, and that conflicts extensively the, to have you with us. and the interesting thing that i noticed about that was that they were talking about any escalation in gaza. and i suppose the question is, what with the who is regard to as an escalation, gaza about these, the, these 10 men team that they would continue to target any ship which he's heading to is that of the weather. this crime as a religious bottle will continue until is viable stops. it's bombardment of palestinians in how much and we've seen them escalating those attacks. one of them earlier, a few hours ago off the coast of monica, a south of, uh,

uh, near the city of tags. and these are all coasted areas under the control of the host . these, this is quite a significant development of for the host. these who have been an extremely small political group in the amount of the expense of the influence. and with the attacks of this spotted in the red sea of best. and it seems that popularity by the expense across the out of an muslim world. and they say, the recently one of the top piece i said, i've been, we've been waiting for years just thought the war against the americas of these writers. and thank you, america. thank you, is ready for giving us the support you. it's because they do invest on such flight, which this guy why do to be sick with religious 5 for the health. this is one of the easiest ways to further consider the day that gains india met. but also to expand that influence across the region. and i've been reading the speculation that

the u. s. has been using the conflicts in gaza as a way of showing iran that it's for the in regards it's prophecies in the region can be attacked. how must be one of them? one would imagine the who is this has a lot of, uh, there been reports that for these are linked to iran and do another of those being the who phase. given the fact that the us is planning to put in a large, albeit multinational force, you know, into the that, that directly one would imagine that iran is not going to take kindly to that there's going to be at some point where everybody's gonna say no, no, no, this is far too much money charging into what we regard as our expense. i have to say rob. this is going to be an extremely delicate task for the americans, for different reasons. i was recently in about a few months ago in the amount of travels across some of the areas controlled by the hoses and always also in the a on one of the boats on the right. see. and i've seen the way they have been

deployed across all those areas now enabled the task force to contain the growing influence of the risk of the 1st by the health. eas could further these type of light the region to does this, the americans festival, the, to convince the solid is all the need to establish this naval task for the salad is concerned with the 2 things they would love to see uh, to contain the spillover from the crisis and goes off a little before the war and gaza. they cannot afford to see to this spinning also of control and degenerating into the confrontation that goes to the health is because is the americas and the brothers, the slight tomato to most, besides the gas targets in the i'm at the health is will definitely retaliate and in that retaliation is just going to further these type, the stabilize the entire region. now, human is not because it's a vast territory bound to this area, the hurt. these have used the same case used by full of presidents down below. so

that way has been storing all sorts of weapons include, including long and median bridge, besides full generations, that pretends so that they have won't be severely undermined in an extra like 2 or 3 or 4 within the upcoming days. so it's going to been extremely difficult. you are to basically outrage you, which is on the streets of the muslim world. any attack i guess the hurt with these is just going to further exacerbated that sentiment among the most of the out of the bases model. the western attempt to further undermine is lama most lives. in caution one, how about i thank you very much. indeed. a sort of head of knowledge, a 0, the symbolic funerals or the occupied was buying an endless wait for palestinians for the bodies of their loved ones. confiscated by his very forces 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 some unsettled weather gripping to the edges of that system very when, when the conditions affecting parts of the mediterranean. we've got fundamental mornings out on monday to sicily 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 low. below the average here it is feeding cooler, but twice and twice guys persist across the eye. barion potential level up to 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 whether stretching his 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 really a more mild of feeling to the region, 12 degrees celsius, the in london, 15 in athens. some improvement on tuesday, with sunshine on counting the cost if the world produces enough food to feed all its people. why the hundreds of millions go hungry communities across africa facing the west. these crises in, for decades for the funding of 8 programs that tackle food in security is declining . counting the cost on al jazeera, there is no channel that covers world news like we do, we revisit places in the state. i'll just say we're really invested in that and

that's a privilege. as a journalist, the news the you want to go to 0 reminder about told stories this out of the us to find the

secretaries and have a view to discuss israel's military operation on. got some. israel's been stepping up it's offensive. despite the rising international pressure might also be previously one that israel risk strategic defeat and gaza if it failed to protect palestinian civilians. i see it is where the air strikes kills at least 200 palestinians across the guys and strip pulse buckles or target as a child is killed onto a shell, hit some maternity ward hundreds of people that being taken shelter when hospitals to escape the bombs and israel has temporarily reopened the economy level, so let and crossing between israel and gas and for the 1st time since october, the 7th. at least 24 trucks carrying humanitarian aid of you know, lived in as far short. unfortunately, just to help people start leading white's group is accused as well of using starvation as a weapon of war in concept human rights watch says israel's deliberately denying

palestinian civilians access to food and water, and that's a war crime under international law. the group says public statements by high ranking is randy officials such as defense most or you won't go on a national security minute. so it's a mob been viewed on blocking food, water and fuel being carried out his policy by his very forces and reflects an intention to stop civilians to the you. and it says around more than $2000000.00 palestinians as nearly the entire population. garza don't have enough food and you and says around half of all palestinians and garza are starving. hunger is so widespread. the 9 out of 10 people are not eating enough or a toll every day in the south, where most of the people have been forced to seek shelter. more than half of the internally displaced families have experienced severe levels of hunger. starvation of civilians as a method of water is prohibited under the geneva conventions. families and gases are facing a doris humanitarian crisis. and the desperation is growing by the day. a correspondent,

israel, who has more from gloucester city. and i'm, i'm was how much of that were in front of all. she's a complex which hosts the biggest number of the space people. everyone is asking, how can families manage their livelihood well under see and heavy bombing more that can be a little bit on this diagram. obviously, i'm cookie rice, to sell to the hungry. we need food and water. we want to live without rice, the people would starve to death. we need to work. we only have firewood for cooking at the mercy. we only have rice to eat, and we have to pay so much more than before. we need to feed our children and we can't even find slower. instead of paying less than a dollar for some slower, you know, have to pay about $8.00. that if we're lucky enough to find the 2nd. so yeah, it does. it's the no, no, no, no to the end of the situation is very bad. we have children and grandchildren.

everyone needs to eat. there is nothing available except the rice impasto. we can have bread because we can't find flower. if you find flower every other day, it will never be enough to god as my witness children who are always crying because they're always hungry. but currently the situation is the worse compared to other wars. i've seen worse since 1967. and this time it's the worst in the world, the gym in use and you have the ultimate can least set that on. everyone is trying to get some rights to feed their children. weiss is now the only food available for more than $60000.00 will display p. last everything we can find food even for the children. and i have 6 children that this is a situation here in front of all she for complex. people are trying to buy rights for the families and some other people inside the complex can even do the same, which i'm not. i mean, i'm not, i'm was a month. it's 9 in old,

but not under the it. almost all kayla is israel and palestine director of human rights watch. he's joining me from i'm on in jordan. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. we had stories better, people who have only gotten rice to each that they are unable to get things like flour, access to water is limited, but i wanted to ask you what evidence there is that it is a deliberate policy by israel to, to restrict these percentages. but i think there are 5 pieces of very damning evidence that led to this conclusion. one is 2 plus months uh, blocking entry of food and water. second is the blocking of all the trickle up to monetary aid from entering into gaza. these have been documented 1st for more than 2 months, but then you add to it some of the additional evidence that we looked at. one is the parent raising of agricultural lands, large percentages of the agricultural green land. and does this turn brown and desolate forward as the report looks at the intentional destruction of objects

necessary for survival? so i'm talking about a week mills, i'm talking about hospitals of water and sanitation facilities. greener is these kinds of things that you need to survive and then you put together the last piece, which is statements bias. really initial spelling out in clear terms that their strategy or policy is the start of civilians as a tool of leverage to achieve political outcomes. whether it be release of hostages, destruction from ask, putting it all together to reach the clear conclusion that the israeli government is using starvation as a webinar for which is an important or crime. so what do you require to be done with the report that you've pulled together? i mean, this is adding to the mountain of evidence that is rarely forces are committing graves but great violations. the laws of more of human rights watch is documented, collective punishment as well. of the civilian population, which is

a war crime deliberately block them the entry, if you might, attorney ne, now starvation, as a weapon of war, we documented apparently unlawful air strikes. there's also of course, the risk for 1st of all displacement with 1900000 people in guys open displaced from their homes. and i think ultimately there's a need for action account ability by the international community. there's a critical vote today at the web security council for protecting civilians and thought that this report should add to the impetus for states including the united states, not to blog at the support that initiative. it's critical that the prosecutor at the international criminal court move forward with the formal probing of serious crimes committed in or from palestine is critical that all states evaluate all warms of complicity in these great abuses. including imposing an embargo on the sale of arms to the israeli government, given the real risk will be used for serious abuses. and we've just been reporting

and the last time that they cut them so long. cut them a bu shalom crossing. and these really controlled crossing into a guys that has been reopened and has been allowing some vehicles and we have seen a vehicle is being allowed through the rough crossing. it is obvious that that's not nearly enough, but what would it take? how much would it take? to get food and water back into uh, guys, uh the people need i mean you need not just a significant increase because remember, this is also a distribution and some of the restrictions including your own fuel, as well as the ongoing and accessibility of parts of cars i mean, northern gaza is the, is the worst hit. i mean, there you have 9 of 10 people, of course in the world. what food programs that have gone a full day and night without food that's compared to 2 thirds and all of cause a but it's even more start. i mean they're not receiving aid outside of the parts

of southern causes. so it's not just about increasing the quantity, obviously, it's about ensuring that there's a non sufficient security. there is no safe place in gaza today. obviously, you need them to be able to reach all parts of casa, and ultimately the aid itself is not gonna matter if you continue to have hundreds of bodies of civilians or children piling up by the day. so there needs to be an end to unlawful attacks and there needs to be a restoration of basic services. we've had a block out in gaza as a result of destruction of infrastructure. we continue to be without electricity relying on fuel and generators. this is not sustainable, this is a death sentence for people. it needs to add almost all care. we appreciate your being with us. thank you very much indeed. thank you. so what as were being reporting the us defense secretary is visiting as early as calls girlfriend, a c spar. washington has deployed to 2 aircraft carriers on fighter jets to the region during the war. this report will be moving more warships from the baby and

gulf to the gulf of and to the child. we see a tax in the red sea. obviously it's helpless. takes a look at the u. s. 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 it support fleet in the us as always in the how is on patrol in the gulf is massive complement of flights, which is reinforcing the air and naval assets and the region a us marine expeditionary unit saving of the coast of human acting is 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 poseidon enables surveillance aircraft and high tech global hawk. spike drones be flying up the coast of goza,

gathering information on how much and is regional support has. the us has ring the middle east with fleets of ships, aircraft, submarines, and drones. this is an addition to the us, a full send the jets to jordan and the colossal military assets already in place in bahrain consecrate. and the you, a, the american military aid is allowed israel to continual its wholesale destruction of gauze amended ensuring that how much is allies a suitably intimidated and the tut from taking any military action. we're going to make and model of the shot. i'll just see it as a senior political analyst. let's talk about lloyd austin's visit to tennessee. first of all, the interesting thing about lloyd austin compared to say, jake sullivan, the national security advisor was here just a couple of days ago. is it lloyd austin is bringing with time a significant amount of military experience, particularly in urban warfare. he's also here with us, the joint chiefs of stuff. do you think that it is reasonable to assume that there

is some sort of pressure that they would be able to bring in terms of encouraging the is really military to change its strategy in guys are based on the fact that austin and the joint joint chiefs uh, chief of staff is here as well, but yes, i mean the idea is that just sort of and should have arrived at some sort of a framework agreement with these res, about what, what would happen the next 3 weeks or 3 months, right. how was this war be phased out from it's intensive, as they call it, intensive phase to it's less more selective this quote them and a chaise. right. i mean that's supposed to be the thing. so objects, the discussed the overall picture. it's supposed to be annoyed. austin, who will be, discuss the operational aspect of it. now the fact that he is sitting in the wood cabinet, along with the others, riley age. and that was, that gives you the idea that america is not trying to distance. it says from the

actual management of the war, which for in or for good faith is being involved in the extra word managed by then has of that responsibility all and hence the implications of war crimes and guns. and i was quite the was quite the taken back by uh, we just had the few guys speak to us on camera at being at being told that lloyd austin's moment. and the 1st impression all my god blows austin is coming. the bombing will probably increase. it's actually the coming of american officials is viewed by the palestinians as coming with the an intensification of the button. because that has also been officially, that's been around for a while. that to as great to pressure comes on the not doing. yeah. who coalition to reduce his actions as military action and guys that,

that given the fact that it does not yet seem to have achieved the goals that it set out to achieve that actually the opposite might happen. but in order to try to speed up the process, it might actually intensify the attacks i should use. so might i say it was? i think the next phase, i think over the next few days and weeks was probably we witness. as far as the intensification of the bindings and of the invasion of the the actual intensification of the presence of these varieties. i think that's in, you know, as taking a strategic decision, also a personal decision to intensify the war. and i think the united states is a bit confused as to what to do with that because he has a government that's also adamant on continue on with an intensification or because they also think that the window of opportunity is closing. but for me, rob this whole thing opens one's one very important question and as far as the

americans are concerned and they were the fields, but most of them are if they think the next phase would be about going after how much militants assessed it and think how much the, the ship and destroying the tunnels. why didn't they do that from the beginning? why did they not just allow but in cottage for israel to destroy the entire strict and its civilian infrastructure and getting countless people? 20000 perhaps and, and the thing to tens of thousands was quite sure if there's, if they could have from the beginning are gone. ask the how mostly the ships have mussman attends and the how much that was an infrastructure. why did they have to destroy? so much of that they just towards i think that's the big question facing us moment . thank you very much. indeed small one by heart and thank you very much. i want to show you some live pictures. we're getting from the a all she the hospital in a guys are this. we're not entirely sure what this is. a result of. there's

a large plume of black spoke, but it's coming from the hospital. we were hearing earlier on in the program from a member of the w h o, who had, who is in a rough and has been to the hospital just recently, who was describing to us the numbers of people who have been crowding into that hospital in order to try to get some sort of shelter from the is really military attacks. he was talking about the age that they were trying to supply, which he said wasn't nearly enough to bring the hospital backs to even a minimal sandra. but they were working hard to try to get some more supplies and medical supplies, particularly in he said that they had been wasted, very warmly. that the medical stuff extremely happy to see the w h o. but the w h o has described the situation at all shape a hospital in the last couple of days as quotes of blood to box. so these are the latest pictures that we have for shopping bars. clouds of black smoke above our

chief of hospitals, and you guys are a dozens of other stadium bodies have been confiscated by israel in the occupied westbank since the war began. and october, the 7th human rights organizations fear that many more are being taken away from gossip hold all the company reports from numbers loud 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 sold 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 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 that 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 marketing shift has existed since the creation of the state of israel. actually, it was inherited from the british mandate, but it's only says 2015 that it's intensified to. it's a policy that jews fight the against the british presidents in palestine. the cry that the time hundreds of bodies had been confiscated since the occupation of the

west bank started in 1967, a subject on that same. 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. and sometimes the reason of this can be obscure on this 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 now. after land, we live under occupation most you cannot figure out what triggers your child. your waste follows 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. oh yeah. well 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. so that how many elders you nablus, the spring you, some of the world is not what major fires burning and they get it in capital. consequently, it was triggered by an explosion that a fuel devil on the colorant peninsula in the center of the city. the facilities near colloquy, central prism, and residential areas. dozens of people have been injured,

defies are fortunate to be spreading from the fuel that quote in nearby and neighborhoods. the cause of explosions on known iraqi voters are heading to the poles and the 1st provincial elections in a decade. that long she outlines is likely to extend its grip on power main political arrival. the sunrise movement is by causing the election. the provincial vote sets the stage for parliamentary elections scheduled for 2025 for my mama or henzy standing by and or cook in northern iraq. first, we're going to get the latest valley hospital who is live for us in baghdad. audio, how significant is this volt of the? well, this is the 1st selection, as you said, since decades. and of course the results of this provincial elections is going to be invested in the next parliamentary extra. that's why receipts most of the rocky policy come functions. putting a lot of effort in trying to gain a votes,

and at the same time with the subs, risk movement to the bible sort of fund that announcing it spite talk. we see a lot of a push from the government from the public to come factions towards people to take part in this election. however, the moment it's mid day. yeah, it's in boxes. uh and the percentage is below 20 percent. i mean, in back that's only the 2 main areas. it's 11 percent and 9 percent and all the re and all the provinces. it's a mostly below 20 percent. so to the moment, to turn out this critical on, it's the kind of a vote of confidence for the government and it's a vote of confidence even for the whole system. yeah. the part that goes system. yeah. in iraq, the last probably been 3 election sold, 4 to 3 percent of the people voting doc was. busy with the sod risk movement

participating in the election invested action without the sub risk movements, we're seeing more than, i mean, but probably the, the, the, the, the number of people who are boycotting is going to be big. so aside from this of this movement, it seems that the majority in the rocks and the moment is the silence majority that doesn't want to take part in the political process. all right, thanks very much. indeed. that's all the hash them in baghdad. we're going to bring in buffalo. the other one cases in took photos. this is this area that you are in is seen the selection for the 1st time in nearly a couple of decades then. yet is the turnout as low as ali is describing there? what's the situation like of the? no, but actually and here the situation is different from about that the turnout is remarkably high. in old constituencies. we have at least those we have visited as all but yeah, it's kind of glucose to a special. and so can sort of ocean 1st of all,

because it stands at the heart of a to, to, to be a dispute between the center of the government and about that. and that of the city of tournaments could this region. and it'd be the since 2005, you have a variety of but it's new cities here and get a coup. you'll have the codes arabs to come in along with other minorities. so if you speak to people here, it people from different backgrounds, they would say for example, arabs say that to the cuckoo sat up should be under the supervision should be under control of this and sort of government in about that. in fact, they call it that for them or of governors of good cooks who were clerks. they called them okay, buyers took money on the other side, will have block bombs, wisdom teeth and backed by to aligned to the arabs, say that they should have the upper hand here because the identity of good cook is to come and goes on the other hand say that the out of 10, the so much and those he has to do gas the ballots in this election to bring back

or to reinstate the rulers, to the, to the province of the cool canada to next to the rest of the provinces in the sent me a tournament at code which region, so edit your problems, providing about 40 percent of what your next oil and about 70 percent of its natural gas production. so many people here are competing want to have the apple handling. this problem is why would i know we're going to be checking in with you? is the results of this election start to come in, but for not enough mode of head and they come cook. thank you very much indeed. is only a 3rd of the petrol stations in the wrong account. they operational and is very hack . a group is claiming responsibility. the quote, predatory spiral group is called, is that it disabled most of the country's fuel pumps and a cyber attack over what it said. well, to friends, quote, evil provocations in the region of any and media report say the palms went offline

due to a technical ada. the toilet is in its 2nd day of mourning off to the death of a meal. save no fault. i'm a dog, sub and subsidy. international delegates and leaders have been paying that respect . also, bank reports from kuwait city for underground trees are expected to come and pay their respects. and condolences here in kuwait now there's been a section at the airport digital v. i piece they fly and they give the condolences pay their respects and then they fly back just a very low key, modest event quite as it was for pump and so many but with eyes are turning to after the 3 days of morning where we expect public institutions to open back up and check them shelf to give he's also a to parliament. and then he was officially a take power. but we also looking forward to who he will name a successor that he has one year under the constitution to do that. and people are expecting val, hoping for someone young that he himself is a fever of these situations. these things are decided by the monarchy it's

discussed and then it's put forward to call them snowflake. has a very exceptional and the special role in the region, especially when it comes to its constitution. this a lot of back and forth between the problem into the monica. and in fact, the monarchy is publicly criticized many times by paul limits. but the shape michelle has to put forward one name to call them and just to get 2 thirds majority . nice. but does that happen? he comes back with 3 names and problems has to choose one of those 3. now what we expect the region is a content, continuity of quite a foreign policy is one of neutrality. they want to be a friend to everybody and a phone to none and the very much to the free roll. i want to bring countries together and we expect that to continue into the leadership of share. michelle said vague, i just, there are quite 6 of elizabeth is going to be here in a couple of minutes with me on all these stories, including our main story. the us secretary of defense has arrived in israel for tourists with leaders. this is, has been stepping office military offensive,

despite advising, international pressure on your office and stay with us on august the using music and as a form of resistance during the boston new orange and ninety's actress. i mean, the most interesting forms for children and sorry about each for many, both means it is very easy to empathize with the people of gods. less than a month ago was changed to performance and we quoted pain, and i felt not just about an enormous does that to raise awareness about. so wouldn't casa, either both be an act or as joint and initiative by the aster theater. a non profit, public opinion assembled based in vermont loc as a people who provide on the side who survived the siege will survive that direction . i think that is all what obligation to be the people will always be the 1st for
