10:05 am
of this happened in there. but like i said, the overnight way more residential buildings were targeted. and the aftermath of this, of course, is making people more displays. there is a large number of people who are experiencing, being homeless as their their homes are being destroyed or severely damaged by the, those relentless ears, right? targeting their neighborhoods and residential blocks. we have a uh, the entire family of over over night. what was killed and this is not the 1st time this particular for me to be in targeted. the 1st time was over last week when the residential building in it shifted one district that's in the northern part of gauze. the city was targeted and destroyed. 70 people were, were killed in more than a 120, where critically injured. what happened? this family. d evacuated this different, the one district all the way to the center of gauze, the city in notary miles neighborhood where they took
10:06 am
a shoulder and one of the residential buildings that severely damaged the, the residential building. in the center of gauze, the city was targeted last night and destroyed completely 50 people have been killed, that multiple other were injured the problem now with no remaining function in hospitals across garza city. and the northern part there is the fear of a growing number of people who be dying within the coming days as there is no way of of, of medical intervention. what, so over again, we're seeing more and more palestinians are being killed. the, at the record number more buildings are being destroyed and this time the concentration seems to be on, on public facilities. we're talking about his schools and hospitals in what seems to be crippling of the society for the coming years. and what about the fighting on the ground between is ready trips and, and how most fighters is ready claims of the gains in the north and reports as well
10:07 am
as heavy fighting in hon. eunice, of the well, the so far the, there are multiple is really statements the issued within the past a few weeks. and then more of it was just within the past 2 days that these really military now in control of the major parts of the northern part i. but again, we see in more of the counter attacks of from a fight there is on the ground flushing back the is rarely tanks and armored vehicles in statements and, and video video state administered by of a segment. forget, we've, we looked at how the just fighters in the ground are, that the pushing back and engaging in fierce fighting with is really a military on the ground. but as of now, there are 3 a mean axes were an active as fighting a fierce battle is going on that 1000000 han units the eastern part of find you in
10:08 am
a city and gradually to the central parts of high news. that's very close to nasir hospitalization. that's what we're seeing, a search in the artillery setting within the vicinity of knots or hospital. also the at densely populated neighborhoods at the eastern side, the guys us to be a c, j, a neighborhood as well as they to neighborhood work. most of the fear spite thing took place within the past 10 days. and we'd seen more of these really soldiers that were killed in these neighborhoods. and also jeff valia is that the main main center for, for battles. but since the beginning of the world since the beginning of the war and the ground invasion and within the past few days, there was an announcement by this really military there. there's so close and controlling entire edge about the area a but a trip. but again, we're looking at more active fight again. counter attacks by fighters on the ground . okay, honey. my hood in rough are in southern gaza. thank you very much. i. this is what
10:09 am
was prime minister, has met some of the families of thomas captives and comes. this is where the president announced that the country was open to another temporary truce to secure the release of more captives burnett. smith's reports. now, from teller, if it's taken more than a week ago asking, but the families of the guys a captives finally got that meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. department is the, gave us hope in the meeting and was very intimate, meaning what a small number of families, which we believe is a good way for the 5 minutes to talk to the families and was a productive leanings. we also asked what we can do more for him, but at the end of the day, the buck stops here. is really media is reporting that the government wants to deal with how much that will secure the release of elderly male and female competence. is one is ready for another human italian pause in addition to your mind and tearing the aid in order to enable the release of hostages. and the, the,
10:10 am
the responsibility lies fully with a scene while in the leadership of home, us officials from the us, canada and israel have met at least twice in europe since friday. and the all reports that the how most representative will travel to cairo in the coming days to meet with the gyptian security officials. that will be the 1st meeting since the previous c spy collapse more than 2 weeks ago. as we have found our position of good to go to the rejecting to hold any form of negotiations over the prisoners exchange. and the continuing is for any genocide than what we are. however, open to any of the initiatives that contributes to ending the aggression on our people and opening the crossing to bring in to bring in aid and provide the need to or philistine and people both sides blamed each other for the
10:11 am
collapse of philosophy. 5, how much said israel refused to discuss office to release of the competence? israel says how much refusing obligation to release old women kept by public opinion to everything solidly behind the war, pressure to get the captives. ounce of gauze has intensified since 2 soldiers killed 3 of the captives waving a white flag and the light is missing in will also between the prime minister of castle on the heads of must side on the c, i. a was described as positive a source last side, but no agreement on negotiations is expected. imminent bonus smith. i'll just say era televi. okay, sorry. all right, just joining us now from occupied east jerusalem bennett in that piece was just talking about some of the various avenues being explored. what kind of in indications do we have that there are real, a tends to get another truce underway of the
10:12 am
good morning. how are you? well, exactly as the said, these me things seem to be high level me things. you also have the one of the how must be to this my and i may of it's to, to meet in egypt whether the category means yates's will be there. it's still not clear, but he has been in castle just yesterday meeting with the rainy and now the last time we had been saying something about chuck service yet such a high level did lead to a week long cease for now. the latest is really these years reporting, it's also been cited in the washington post is that they potentially looking at to 2 weeks uh deal which would be double that of the last time. and this is. c certainly something that the families of those health captive are pushing full. they've already had that me thing as you store unbundled smith's report, that despite some of them feeling that they've been less down so that me thing upon the early some members of those families were able to meet with the will cabinet
10:13 am
spots. nevertheless, they are still continuing to push and put more pressure on the government. so make sure that sci fi happens. and what about international pressure? i mean, we've seen these pretty frantic attempts at the un security council to try to re draft language to, to budge the americans away from that. the veto position on is riley. how is that being received in israel? it these, these, the idea of potentially that the main buttress for its position. the u. s. is itself coming under pressure the yeah, and that's the now the delay, the with that. so you and votes, and when you, when we were that last week when i was there in the hostage square in front of the kitty, all which is the, is riley defense ministry. a lot of those that are jewel nationals. they actually live in the us to have big connections with us. so that's very much aware of the
10:14 am
importance of such as your country being involved in pushing for the see spot. now, this is all off the back of a video that was released this time. not by how my spot, these lumnick g has group a release to video showing 2 elderly man. and in that video they talk about not one thing to be kills by and strikes that family members. instead it's big plots to see that they all alive. they clearly looking a lot more uh on well and compared to when they were 1st taken button. the fact says is this is just a day off through a video was released by time not showing another 3 hours of the men. and in that video, they said that they were some of the founders of one of those kid, but that was where the big big it's hot happened on october 7. and that kind of language is really important because clearly how mosse knows when they use this such language. and when it's, in the hebrew, it's speaking not to the israeli government. it's actually speaking to these
10:15 am
republican speaking to the families, to say we all the found is we all the ellis of the people you need to bring us back home. and that will definitely puts a lot of pressure, which already is on the government, especially when they've seen several other hostages killed by the israelis themselves. it seems that even though israel saying it's winning the sparkling gaza, it's us. and he's starting to lose the baffle. when it comes to ensuring that less the cost is on kills into they come back a life, all right, cera, all right, very know to parties through some. thank you very much. i as an raids in the house tide, westbank have led to heavy fighting between his very forces and palestinian fighters . the is where the military vehicles and to the northern cities of jeanine and 2 bus early on wednesday, 2 palestinians were reportedly injured engineering. all those 300 pounds and ends, including children, had been killed in the occupied westbank since the war on gaza began. alright,
10:16 am
let's go straight now to allen's fisher, who's in ramallah for us, and can you bring us up to date on what's exactly been happening in these latest rates? but it's, it took a look at the map. you could almost run a chain from north to south of the places where they had been raised by the israeli army overnight on the west bank. as you see there were some in douglas which has become almost a nightly cut in state and to cut them as well. in hebron they started making preparations to demolish the house of a family with someone who lived there had attacked. a soldier killed him and wounded 7 settlers right at the start of the guys of war. and the army made some resistance when they went into essentially stopped doing what they call the measuring up to demolish that. how does collective punishment for whoever still lived in the house there? there were also incidents and tamala, north of ramallah, and bethlehem, as well. the report, so the improvised explosive device has been used in the direction of the israeli
10:17 am
army. a 7 people were injured to overnight with gunshot wounds and at least a couple of them out and pretty serious condition. we should get more of an update on them in the next couple of hours. and almost inevitably the, there was a clashes in jeanine, which of course has seen some of the west of the a is really army rates. it says the stock of the guys a war from digging up roads to launching raids into to homes. and at the death toll, there has been pretty significant. and yet again, overnight there were more rates in janine and on the outskirts of janine as well. and this of course, is all part of the story of a really massively intensified a series of raids and is ready operations within the occupied westbank and the last couple of months. and you're seeing some tensions emerging within these really cabinet about what's been going on that as well. you'll kalonde to is the
10:18 am
defense minister made a statement on tuesday criticizing a responsible minister. and it seemed a very odd statement to make, but then to say the media, tell us on monday of the cabinet, we think it's like you've been to be a who's perhaps the most extreme member of the cabinet openly criticize the head of the israeli army, saying that discipline decisions should be taken by the cabinet. he was referring specifically to the instances where a number of soldiers had brought test a 100 can songs on the news really premier over the microphone of the mosque in jeanine. that was widely publicized no. those soldiers were suspended bank via suggested that that should never have happened, seeing that it undermined them or all of these really ami. i'd also give comfort to the opposition and said that it shouldn't be up to the cabinet to make those decisions upon me. things go so heated at one point, the chief of staff of the state of the army, told ben, give you a note to threaten him and said that decisions at from the army would be left to
10:19 am
the army. and they had breached army rules and protocol. therefore, they had to be punished in some way. what is interesting is that throughout this campaign into westbank, we've also seen number of instances of reported vandalism, alleged test, humiliating people who have been caught up in some of these rates. even though they've been completely innocent. all of these things have happened as well. and of course, there was the incident where we saw the israeli army shoot people who were coming forward weaving a white flag and trying to surrender. and that led many human rights organizations . wonder whether or not that just happened depaula citizens as well. but clearly there are tensions between some members of the israeli cabinet. not necessarily the war cabinet, but these really cabinet ideas. really. i mean about not just the, the way the conduct take this war, but how they're dealing with the soldiers who are conducting this war. okay, i'm an official, the in ramallah. thank you very much for that. as spousal,
10:20 am
it's as the un security council on a resolution calling for the suspension of hostilities in gaza has been delayed for a 2nd day. members are struggling to agree on the wording as they try to avoid another us veto. gabriel, that is on that has more from united nations. and so these negotiations are happening behind closed doors. there's a lot of things that are very unclear about what's going on. but what is very clear is that it's the united states that is asking for these delays. and it's the united states that clearly has issues with some of the language in this resolution, particularly when it comes to this as ation of hostilities in the original uh, draft said it was 1st circulated last friday and called for a cessation of hostilities. and it has a very permanent tone to it, if you will. united states would not go for that. so it was changed to a suspension of hostilities in order to allow for humanitarian access. it was
10:21 am
believed that the us could possibly accept that. and that's why we thought that there would be this boat on tuesday, but it's clear that there are still some issues here that the us wants to address. it's very important because of course the us has veto power in the security council, which one is now in the studio is doing costs are you are a fellow and director of the foreign policy and security program at the middle east council on global affairs. thank you. very much for being with us. um, what do you make of these attempts to to shift the language to trying to, to budge us away from what is being, at least in the united nations, very, very still on the support of israel for basically i think for us is trying to change the language from cessation to, to suspension. basically what this indicates of us continues to provide political cover for a is there a lot of un, despite of this, i'm going genocide, the and it has a but also we also have to look at the, the secretary and the general assembly is what it was a voltage non binding, but there's huge support for a cessation of hostilities. yeah,
10:22 am
i mean that the language that was already written for what was supposed to be about on tuesday talked about a suspension of facilities and urgent step towards a cessation. and sort of a more permanent state is ending. the, the, the fighting is that is not enough for the us. what does that suggest? i mean, is, is this is the emergent division within the united states administration itself? or at least differences of opinion that the, that it making it more difficult to the, went to the us rather to sign up to an effect. yeah, that could be potentially differences between the u. n. t minus, for example, the white house. and also if you look at the secretary of defense, has visit as well to wizard or to from a, from his perspective that is or should really got you down this war because the cost is increasing. us is deployed, then overstretched, across the reset. now, which is false penalties with the hosting attacking maritime shipping as well. so there's different things differently within the us administration, on how much time to give to is there end to end this war?
10:23 am
you're talking there about the situation in the red sea with the so the attacks and this attempt us let attempt to try to detect or try to, to, to, to the abilities from carrying on doesn't seem to be much indication of success. so follow that obviously very early days. is it a winnable situation for international community for trying to sort of defend global trade and it's ability to pass through this, the straight one, this risks, the further expansion of the, of this conflict, the across the region from a 40 perspective. first of all, they want to support the palestine, and the stop is there as the neighbors and indicate that they can have an impact on global economy. but also, secondary objective is also a part of negotiation with saudi arabia and the choice in yemen. so they also have an eye on that, and potentially this mission would go ahead and it's going to have, like, you can actually see, that's why you saw your read, the egypt and other countries not want to be part of any correlation. that because if perceive to protect is really shipping, for example. so i think this mission,
10:24 am
we go, go ahead, but a lot of people have doubts about the potential you're been getting success and the long term. mean more broadly, we have this attempt to get to sort of shift israel's main defender, the u. n. we have the expanding situation in the reds. the all of it is an attempt to pressure israel to, to stop the the bombing campaign on garza. and to what extent can any of this do you think be successful given israel is stated as rooms and for its own constituency, that is where the government's own constituency. these ready people stopping short of that is going to be very difficult for them. yeah, i think really we've had global public opinion really shifted. we've had the open positions if the case position. i'm a various other countries, but basically it's the us now that this enabling is there is genocide in as, as that. but i think from us perspective, as we enter the new year and we have us election, i think there's also a political considerations that looks toward considerations by that. his numbers are really affected. so basically, i think the, the, the position is,
10:25 am
is put to rest directions on pensions and potentially end this war before we get into the us election cycles, which would have an impact on biden's village. and we were also talking with a correspondence or a bit earlier about the attempts to get more cut captives back on the as somebody's ready perspective, which would mean another at least temporary solicitation to what's, what's going on. is there any prospect, do you think of that? i mean, how, how, how much going to react to those assets? do you think, i think cease fire is good because it allows for the return of hostages and presents to their families if that also with the flow of the, of a but the last, the ceasefire basically establish some of this but did not provide the long term durable solution. so if we stopped the conflict for one more week and then go back to that and it's going to bum, bum, think of it as a, what has this, we got cheap, white. now what is needed is more durable, a long term solution to and the whole conflict images. all right, otherwise we'll go from thank you very much for joining us when i was here. thank you. all right, still ahead on al jazeera, the, the music and story
10:26 am

10:30 am
and also boxed is succeeding his home for the shakes know us who died on saturday. i said, bake is into a city and is watching events for us. um i said most ceremony uh for the the, the 2 ways the states as the swearing units taking place of the yes, we are currently at vanessa assembly and the a new me or is given a speech. now he arrived there was more of his pomp and ceremony. in this case for the survey again. then we have seen over the last 3 days, the last 3 days have been of morning. the public substitutions have been closed, have begun to open up 9 mos in peoplesoft. returning to the normalized but the official morning 2 to 40 days continues. this has been boards up of the flags and still continued to fly at hawk mazda. and the thing here is that he's come here, he's been called by parliament. he's government has initiated this session. he's is
10:31 am
sworn in now officially us the mirror and the those lines a very simple he's out. and he said that he promises the swiss to protect the constitution, the country, it's land and it's people when he went on to talk about some of the domestic policies. and one of those things that he spoke about was fighting corruption for its forms. but as i said, he did take part in the funeral ceremony on sundays and bidding really farewell to piece hall for the previous. i mean shift and it was a simple way to, to be able to savvy to do a final prey and very well to the late to meet. and he's huff with a shift. and a lot of us about the new mirror of quite to ship michelle, and i meant us about you said to take an oath as a special session of the national assembly before that his duty was too late. the late to move to rest. check him shelf, said that you have for his brother. a little shake. michelle had already been
10:32 am
defect totally distance. 2021 and alien, checking the last 100 over his duties. mazda, he was deputy chief of the national guard and head of the state security for over a decade of which it was when he was named crank, prince, at the age of 18. 2020. that thrust to the political line, like i believe, by witnessing what his highness was able to accomplish in the last 2 years. plus what is known about his character and his leadership at the national guard. he's a reformist, he is somebody who doesn't allow nepotism or favoritism to impact his decisions. the nation continues to mon and remember shifting them off. but they are high hopes that the new 83 year old dominion will continue to build things back over the last 2 years. we will see a lot of changes in policies as well as the improvement of the economy to compete with our neighbors and gcis, the countries that to what all void these expect from sions. why shot to
10:33 am
h is unique in the region. it has an electric problem and a government appointed by the me, but the principle of routing by consensus, the selection of the crime prints must be pushed before plug in much to be volts, done, and must receive a 2 thirds majority. over the last few days, she has michelle. it has to be receiving signature. yes, we get to the role he has been doing for 2 years as the crowd prints, but now he can make it his own work on that to 8 did not take part in the book k. difficult to impose by side. you radiate egypt, the you a and by train, i just was instrumental in broken good deals that ended up block kate in 2021. i think the policy of great for them policies will remain as it is 0, and it is a lot of friends, whether it's regional or international flex, continued to fly. i tossed off and the cup to the winds of change may not come to this. i'm you the 20 successes advanced with hopes to the someone that can take the next generation forward. people here and quite depreciate the country's domestic
10:34 am
and regional stability and continuity, and with the transition of power to the new. i mean, those are the 2 things that don't want to compromise on us, that big of a 0 to a city. so i said, as he made clear and that reports to the new, i mean, it was already really doing the job for a couple of years. what indications from his record sofa, all there is to how he's going to pursue policies in the future. what is really done to him to make this all his own? not because he's actually via me if he has taken power and very much so people are looking towards him as for fighting corruption. you know, he was involved in the national guard. he was involved in setting the security operate test in government and has, has just been speaking. he says he wants to fight corruption in for its full so many black hunted streets of could i, can you speak to people? this is something that they want to see. i'd have been seen. we spoke to one expert
10:35 am
and he was saying that we've seen people go to court and go to jail. that we didn't think we'll go to jail before implementing the laws of the country. and as i said, quite is very unique in the sense that it has this parliament. it has this process with the parliament to must vote on the success of any tons of regional politics. well, that's going to remain the same, quite wants to be a friend to everybody and a full to none that want to bring regional countries together. and they want to be considered free. and there is, in fact, there was a major pattern. many of the agreements in the region to bring those countries together so we don't expect much change in fact, but a crate is really want that stability and continuity. and we, i think we're going to see that continue under the leadership of, i mean, and michelle. right, i said back into age 60, thank you very much. i. so that's a ton now to a coverage of the war on gaza living conditions for displace palestinians in the strip are only getting worse with people staying saying rather nowhere is safe food,

10:46 am
who can help boost and out of date. the same thing. they reminded in the last election to say they want less talk and marks the frustrated by the high cost of the, the depletion and rum punch corruption, access to the food exit to shelter, access to education, access to a medical care. this is not as a business for, for any normal person and the comb with these people don't have this. the democratic republicans please reach emanuel reese was, he's in our full land. but he's also has point for struck just in bodily money to cities and towns and many voices. see the country's wealth does not reach them. catherine slowly, i'll just see you and i can show a democratic group of people come on. catherine is live for us now in kinshasa. i'm catherine, as you would just detailing in your package, a vast country,
10:47 am
vast problems on multiple levels. just how difficult logistically is the selection going to be the stage? on the yes, we did speak to the electoral commission president and he calls it a logistical nightmare. and you say that they don't have enough money. and it's very difficult to get both to materials to different parts of the country. because as in the road network is very, very bad. i so right now, our top calling station a 2nd calling station, either copies or constructs of voting has not started. and about that. those low, difficult problems. i'm telling you the bolting materials have just arrived. it's been 2 uh, 2 hours now people are getting frustrated, but now we're being told that they will start voting soon and we're talking about different parts of constructing different parts of the country where materials have
10:48 am

former president trump, as a candidate on the ballot in 2024. even before the ruling was issued by the colorado supreme court, there were promises by trump's attorneys that this would be appealed all the way up to the us supreme court. and that's the scenario that we're watching out for here. so january, the 6th of 2021, was an insurrection, to undermine the certification of the 2020 national election. was donald trump in active, participate in that insurrection? so still legal questions that need to be answered before we can see this develop. but what the big news is here is this very reasonable expectation that this could play out as a show down at the us. supreme court made up a little alger 0, washington dc get an sees of more than a 150 associates of the late convicted sex offender. jeffrey epstein could be made public next month. a federal judge in the us as or the dozens of classified documents to be unsealed. it's part of a lawsuit against the british. so she liked the lighting maxwell. she was found
