5:02 pm
a succession of a senior us, a figures who have been coming to israel to discuss the situation. now we have lloyd austin for the 2nd time. what's the latest has been coming out of his meetings in his room? well, probably the latest of a parade of us officials and some politicians who have been bringing the same message that is they support israel, the not calling for a c spot, but there are too many civilians being killed. and the us is expecting these riley's to move to a separate phase of lower intensity phase of this conflict. and we're hearing that the us is expecting it to do that in weeks ra, the the months. israel so far hasn't been listening. but when austin came is 1st was it just after a few days after october the 7th event and sold these rarely defends chief and the head of the military. you have got too many troops stationed on the board. instead, you should be using strategic asked, strikes,
5:03 pm
pick out senior. how much lead is israel didn't listen. it launched this full bull assaults on gauze of is still going on to this day. and only last month, boston want these riley's, but if you drive the civilians into the of the enemy, then you risk tony replacing a technical victory with a strategic defense. what we've seen, how much, how much is popularity relations palding's increased in the occupied westbank for the anger and fuel rates about what they see happening in gaza. so austin is expected really push home about point today that is around really needs to move. the 2nd phase, but netanyahu not seen any move to listen so far. if anything, israel is doubling down, but the us has some tools that can use this to and the screws on his rail. not least the amounts of military aid on financial aid. it gives us a final thank you very much. brandon smith in tennessee. i would just say there's been speaking to palestinians and guys about what very expecting from the us
5:04 pm
defense secretary is visit as of how the city i'm been i'm 3rd is ready the war since october 7th the the visit by the us secretary of defense the it will only bring more fear to me to my family because the united states has been the strongest supporter of, of as well 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. i should expect more death, destruction, and maybe the visit of this a security image there of the i'm or you can even change anything. can be got to strip the funding continues that work, continues the home, i didn't appraise the then they came into got this, we expect that the we be much or we came in today for a gross of profile 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 was
5:05 pm
concepts out, a couple of them in the drop are in southern guns. that sounds bare from these. most of the people that we've been speaking to that expectations are not very great from this for this missing from lloyd austin as well. uh, in fact, uh, hosting visit to the uh, mid, at least in the eyes of palestinians, considered to be all kinds of another place support for these very occupational made to continue the strikes. of course, the target trade, despite over reports that have been released from the american of these really media outlets regarding that's the main purpose of the visit, is to guarantee that these route is moving from the 2nd phase of the will into the set one, which guarantee more precise and focused strikes that might avoid casualties and the lines of civilian spots. main want, meanwhile, palestinians coast and tracing that these effects would gone in vain without it completes the sation of the is really military acts on the ground and
5:06 pm
a full guarantee that the would return back again to the house as, as the completely right now of leaving that without kind of any kind of any assets that would guarantee a complete return to the host, all of these fits would wouldn't be really fruitful. and would it be a for indesign to palestinians as the is very palming of the territory continues. and from the other side, the majority of the casualties and victims are amongst civilians, antarctic, this strikes are still going on. we've heard reports also that the hospitals have being target says so yes, recounting completely say that to the entire of the charts we had been on the east valley relentless of bombing a during the early beginnings of this uh, the states which uh gives police on that as well is expanding its offensive and its military attacks, of course, cause now we're talking about the middle areas of the guns us strip had been on
5:07 pm
under east valley relentless shooting since the early hours of today's morning despite the fact that she thought medical complex had been again attacked by these very minutes. we were more than 30 palestinians have been killed. and one of the latest is really offensive on these medical complex, which i tend to be shown. so for residents who were trying to take cover and to be protected from the east valley attack. so also similarly, the situation goes on regarding the main central neighborhoods of the 2 or 3 as a separate up to $5.00 neighborhoods had been under is very intensive bombing since today is morning with me, casualties out there reported among civilians as what happened yesterday in the value of refuge account with more than 40 pounds thing as have been killed in these strikes. todd of elbow resume and raphael, southern guy. so bring yourself to the entire thank you very much. of these as well during is war on gaza. hospitals have turned into buffalo,
5:08 pm
feels in violation of international law, as tanya was saying, is there any time shell overnights hit them to turn to c building inside the naso hospital in con units and this i've killed a 13 year old girl who lost her father. her mother, siblings, on one of her legs, on sunday, is really for his storm, the all the hospital in northern garza and detained it started back to him after days of siege and attacks. is there any forces that are accused of running over palestinians, including wounded patients with both those and the grounds of the come all odd one hospital and the world health organization says the emergency department and guy says largest on main hospital ashi for medical complex, resembles a blood bos, hundreds of injured patients that are running every few minutes. a siege, an attack on schafer by israel's ministry. last month has left the facility power lies. while the visited, the national medical complex and communist after the is really strong. and with that, that fee, which i'm not most of this obstetrics and gynecology department,
5:09 pm
enough sort of medical complex that has been targeted and penetrated by as rarely. shells, as you can see on that bad was a girl who had her leg amputated after an attack in another area. any fun, eunice, the shell hit her directory and her head, and it killed her immediately that it did not explode. and if it had on that it would have caused a real massacre here. says this is the 2nd time the hospital has been sued by a shell that didn't explode. that the 1st about early this morning in one of the hospitals, courtyards where displaced people shelter in a large number of tents and 2 people were injured. but yeah, they're looking at that on another person. look for an outside of the this is the children's section. the children were sleeping in their places, including a little girl don't. yeah. the shell penetrated the ceiling and directly hit her. parts of her head and blood are splattered on the wall. as you can see, it's
5:10 pm
a brutal crime. this little girl had her legs amputated and her family were killed when their house was bombed, not long ago. finally, she lost her life. the enemy killed donya and killed all her hopes of the enemy didn't send us any warning or evacuation order. the enemy didn't say anything before shelling or departments. it's a message to us that we will always be under the threat of being shelled and bombarded any time any day. donia and the other innocent children did nothing to be killed. a civilian displaced people in these tents did nothing to be attacked and killed and get injured. israel's military might be intent on committing other massacres in this hospital and knocking out this health institution. it doesn't want any medical service to be offered to our dead and wounded people in the entire gaza strip. then run a scenario. it is almost the same old scenario used previously by the israeli occupation forces in the l sheep on medical complex. the same method has been used before at the statutes and gynecology department and all she for medical complex
5:11 pm
that prior to putting the whole complex under a siege. could this be the start of imposing a total seizure on the hospital before storming in the coming few hours and days? give us the answer. what do we just gotta? we jump on sort of the b as we're going to bring in my one of the shot. i would just say there's a senior phonetic alina's. we're waiting for this press conference, so it's going to be held between lord george and the fight george. so i tossed and the defense secretary and this really defends, administer your kalonde. we're just been talking about the fact that that's um that austin is coming with a significant amount of military background to all of this. and i wanted to get your take on how significant data is, because we've seen a succession of different senior us officials turn up. but he's the one that's actually got the technical expertise and to be able to talk to be as varies. and these are the military about the conflict on the ground. rob,
5:12 pm
do you know the secret? how important would have been to start talking about fluid flushed and i mean, long as the george, well initial comparisons and out of historical. and now there's that would have been great and anyway, just reading the news, but at the now look it's um i think that americans are getting a bit an easy about the image is coming out of, gosh, i think the by the administration and election year is finding gets more and more embarrassing what's going on, because so it's dispatched, blinking been dispatched jake sullivan, now dispatching the big gun as it where the minister of defense, 2nd sort of defense in order to start talking more seriously in more detail operationally, about filling out the intensive phase of the war to more discriminatory example. of course, for us who been going through this for the past 10 weeks, when, you know,
5:13 pm
when one does, why didn't they start with a discriminant one much earlier on. and why did they have to destroy much of gaza in order to get to this new phase? because this makes sense. this is a strategic re, um, although does that remains on occupied territory. and the best way to forward this to end the occupation instead of ordering. another more be that as it may, even from a military american perspective, it makes more sense. and that's what biden told nothing. yahoo, when he was in his right, he said, okay. busy you go get justice, but remember, we were there and we made mistakes. don't let the rage guide you. meaning the cure event from casa meaning. don't designate guys a minute. don't think your existence of conflict has to be with the people. have
5:14 pm
garza don't try to get a genocide in order to for now it's the population of guys that because that is not or should not be the end game of annual assessment trends in genocide themselves. by the way, we are now at this point where i by under pressure the by that and this ration is basically cleaning plating within nothing. you know how government stop that in face to face and phase out. i think glory in austin is probably more capable than how but as you started because he has the experience from the your walk or how to phase out. the more intensive to the less events that may be for the us might be hoping for. but as we were hearing from the people that read spoken to in jobs or just a moment ago, their expectation of this visit by large large austin is very, very low. and in fact, they actually leave for the day is really attacks are going to intensify the complete opposite of what the us and other people want, etc. and you know,
5:15 pm
they are correct that correct? because when i looked at the past 10 weeks, and i looked basically at the process or uh, what do you call that? we looked at the, you know, the way the diagram of how this has been going. and you will see that since by then landed in his ride after that the land and visions thought that the intensive face of the war started and with each and every american official from blinking to sullivan towards austin whenever they appeared in the, in the region. there seemed to hasn't been an justification of the war more palestinians died. so i guess instinctively the palestinians associate the presence of american officials with this i think that's we should or the americans should let that sink. and what does it mean that when they pretend or when they
5:16 pm
claim or when they argue that they are coming in order to reason with these ladies, in order to, you know, making it a bit more digestible, this unraveling genocide in plain sight. that the impression among the palestinians i'm on the i list is that whenever they showed up, these are it is intensified the bottom. so let's just say what we're doing for this press conference and telling me to start as soon as it does. of course we're going to be taking that life. we're also going to be coming back to you for your analysis of that. but for now, i'm going to show the thank you very much. indeed, the still ahead and i'll just say to a provincial vote and a rock of to years, but a boy on call may not let people exercise the franchise. we're going to have a live updates. the frank assessments to the problem is that is there is allowed to be outside that
5:17 pm
ends of international law. and one of the issues that should be the is the fact that is it and has declared war on okay. parts people who informed opinions the medical infrastructure of an entire society has been completely destroy the people who will feel that destruction 1st and most be the women and children inside story on al jazeera in australia. indigenous when they're missing that disproportionately high rates. 101 east investigate is enough being done to help find missing originally on out to see of the
5:18 pm
the, [000:00:00;00] the, you want, you know, just need a reminder of our child. so is this our a series of is really, is sites have led to the desk of at least 200 palestinians across the gaza strip hospital. so being targeted, hundreds of people have been taking shelter with hospitals to escape. the bombing is southern, gaza. israel shell, the maternity ward, and the city of con you is carrying a 13 year old girl named dounia. she was features in a previous,
5:19 pm
i'll just see the report is very strikes. i previously killed her parents and also led to the amputation from the us defense secretary lloyd austin, has house thoughts with his really leaders to discuss the war on gaza is mattress varies defense minister on premise at benjamin netanyahu. during the day long visits austin had previously wanted to israel 1st a strategic defeats in gaza if it failed to protect palestinian civilians. well ahead of the c, i a said to hold talks of costs at the end is really officials on monday in warsaw us media reports say the meeting is going to discuss a potential new deal to secure the release of is there any captives held in gaza or why does corresponding kimberly hold that is joining us about a life. i can't believe it's been a lot of speculation about it's possible talks being organized in the ground being set for more talks. the 5 of the c i a chief is in, is involved in this, how significant is not. and it's significant because his
5:20 pm
involvement in the last round of negotiations proved to be fruitful. and that's why he is involved again. what we know is that he was instrumental william burns, that is the ca director in helping to set up a chain of communication that allowed for the eventual release of thousands of hostages, including some americans. and so this is hoped that this can be achieved once again . but what we do know is that even as this meeting is set to take place in warsaw between the head of the massage, as well as the ca director. and even the guitar, a prime minister, what we do know is it's going to be more challenging this type around, given the fact that, well, there are still no communication between israel, the united states, a how mosque that is what the car is filling the role of is the other challenges, is mazda has made it very clear that it was negotiated any way,
5:21 pm
as long as israel is continuing its military campaign, something that it's insist it will do is it continues to try and dismantle the leadership of the group. and so this is going to be challenging because right now there doesn't appear to be any plan to interrupt that offensive. and this is something that the group is insisting. so as a result, there seems right now to be little room for negotiation. and that's where the skills of the sky director are being called upon. kimberly, thank you very much. indeed. obviously when that press conference happens between the lord austin and your own kalonde and tel aviv, we're going to be coming back to you for, for your comments on that. but for now thank you very much indeed. a yeah, my associates say they lost an operation targeting to more ships in the red sea linked to israel. the groups and one was loaded with oil and the other with containers in the past weeks. who is having carrying out attacks on commercial vessels, offering through the red sea in protest against israel's ministry. actions and
5:22 pm
gossip is very forces have stepped, operates across the occupied westbank from ramallah to bethlehem. and novelist if killed dozens of palestinians including children. since the start of the war is really mandatory is also reportedly prevented ambulances from reaching the injured dozens of palestinian bodies, have been taken by israel and the occupied westbank since the war began. on october, the 7th human rights organizations, fear that many more are being confiscated from gaza and they may not be returned. it's like several others. there's remains of nope, in return for years aspires when the authorities rights organizations estimate, israel's refused to release the names of 394 palestinian men and women standing back to 1967 out of sending in families invites groups. so it's a form of psychological torture and collective punishment. the bodies are captain, refrigerators or buried in israel,
5:23 pm
so called symmetry of numbers. these are military grades for palestinians are buried anonymously as a number rather than a named in 2018. a new law gave the is really police the power to limit the size of funerals. palestinian families set the conditions under which is over trends and loved ones remains are often degrading and humiliating. under the geneva convention, deceased obtain is meant to be buried in line with their religious rights, and their graves should be respected and preserved. cut out how many of the reports from the us 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 my son who has been lost so their son. so it did. courtney was a 23 year old living in nablus, who loved motor bikes to 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
5:24 pm
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 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
5:25 pm
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 be full. 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 model. 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 an evening in december 2021. had the mother of 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,
5:26 pm
not to live. we live under occupation most you cannot figure out what triggers your child. your waste follows was happening on his mobile phone and 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 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 the is going to bring you some other world news?
5:27 pm
