8:08 am
another temporary force and the financing colonial. we spoke to gauzy, hama, and he's a member of masters political bureau. you said the priority is stopping to i think the vision is basically we what to stop the russian was the war and job. and the, because i think what's going to in the visit is a, because the surveys a whole pause is much destruction and invest clinical people last semester because we want to stop this. this is our priority. now some people looking for the us board, pause a pause here and there for when we do each of the weeks. but i think that was very clear. we want to ask the question, because i think who is i with take they, they called the hosp to his doctor, that'd be able to start a new out of mass getting done. must have guns again to start people. i think we will not be disagreeing, but i think we want to go and this will disagree and or people in the ship where they were all the, all the come with big compromise for the did use for the prison other for the
8:09 am
hostages. but the reality, we don't with the age of chance, with godaddy with different bus stop the cushion and goes up, goes what is going to enjoy this big shame for the international community to keep sort of, especially out of the discussion and do you do not assembling to go to college so that most of the countries 99 percent of the countries all over the world. the world sits by the way. but it's really a prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has been intent on wiping out how much saying any potential new truce will be short lived on to a mass was a replicated, and all is rainy. hostages freed for a whole month in the meantime. uh uh, this of the will will continue until we destroy from us until victory. let me see think we will see thought which is not connected to reality or should we also striking how much with heavy fire everywhere else, including today us. we also striking, go to
8:10 am
a time us close or fall every have must services best on so that you every 2 options and a who to surrender or die because i'll hire out joins us live now from occupied east jerusalem cyrus. so netanyahu that wants to continue the fight against thomas, but he's on the men special at home using the to get the captives released. the good lines are in. yes, you're absolutely right now is writing a media has been talking about some of those me things have been taking place in egypt between his mind and one of the how must be doesn't it on the rise of his uh angels. so it's not makes you had, which is another group that had taken some of those captives and this really major and the total care is that still there's no details really fun jobs. so there's a lots of speculation as to what has been discussed. so even whether a possibility of another sci fi is going to happen. and that's when you also added on top of what we just had, the st,
8:11 am
whoever 6 we will stop is detached from reality, is talking about the fighting on the ground. we will not stop the fighting until all our goals over cheese, all of how much from the 1st of the last all dead man walking? well, he's basically saying that the possibility even of completing stuffing the slicing of a false the spot, a permanent c sauce is definitely not on the table. he's made that play many times . there are reports from us has said that one of the reasons that it would not go through with the deal is that it wants to complete end to the 5 signa release of all prisoners. it has said previously many times, all for all as they call it. but there's also a discussion that is, that is a potential sees for are they looking? it seems that one week, but then also there were reports of cistern lost. his speculations are still unclear. there are also talk, so it's a israel would want about 40 of those captives release including women, children and the elderly. so it still gives you an idea that we all
8:12 am
a several days into rumors that says a possible, a sci fi deal that hasn't happened. and even if it said it was agreed upon, is still has to be rectified by those that are in government. they all have to agree on that hearing as well. all right. does have a higher ed, lifestyle and occupied east jerusalem sir. thank you. one is ready for it says continue coming out. daniel rides the costs of divide westbank miniature vehicles entered several cities and towns including nablus and bethlehem. early on thursday, they rated homes entertained at least one palestinian in bethlehem. let's get more now from law han. she's live for us in ramallah. laura took us through what's been happening overnight with these rates. so absolutely don't know. i spoke to one palestinian from one to villages who said it feels like the ground help day in that these rates just being repeated on a daily basis. and they're really afraid that that just becoming very normalized. you can almost draw a line from the nose all the way down to the south in terms of where the rates are
8:13 am
happening on a daily basis. so last night we saw in yeah, a bod. it's a bit. it's just outside of jeanine these way. the army came in by 3rd, which means that confidence enough to not have to go in on the vehicles. there was a rest may that i also happen to cut them in nablus. and then in ramallah we got pictures of people's houses being run sucked behind. the, it's right on the again, this is happening on almost a daily basis. 17 people arrested sofa. and we've also seen the same thing happening in jericho. so again, throughout the west bank and many people say that, well, understandably, the walls attention is being focused a to columbus has west of here and gone so on to the guys of that, they're seeing much more repression happening here in the west bank since october. the 7th, 302 people have died. and this year around $511.00 people, even the 1st half of the year that made it the bloodiest dia they've seen in move
8:14 am
in 2 decades in the occupied westbank. yeah. laura and away from those raids cypress them. israel have agreed now to set up this maritime a cover door to gauze. what more do we know a yeah, absolutely. the is right. foreign minister went to cyprus to meet his cypriots counts of pot constant and also come past the chosen whence to lanika in the south of flight for us. and they were looking at this initiative of sending shipments of age to bill is that because the shipments are going to be much larger than the 8th . it's currently going through at the rough uh, border crossing and also the con bush. and so this kind of a, some border crossing. so at that they say that, you know, it will be an easy logistic to check everything in monica in the south of cyprus before that sense. however, there are many hurdles and there's be much criticism around this because when
8:15 am
they're sending these shipments over, the bigger they don't have the infrastructure in the posts in golf. and they're also concerned about the amount of time security bots. cypress does say that the best country full, this is the closest country to gauze. it's about 400 kilometers, says north west, and it's the closest e u country. this isn't a new proposal. they have present to this. the parents paid for last month and they did have a many countries from the european union and supporting this initiative. elbows some did level some criticism and consent and also that perhaps some of those border crossings in the south of gauze that might be stripped off, essentially ceiling going. so alright to laura. thank you. so talking personal break here and i'll just say right, when we come back the time,
8:16 am
the boy is open. but desire is that the 1st major protests against a new presidents will start to measure loss. millions of people initiate the brands of economic sanctions imposed in response to the ministry the the hello from the al jazeera headquarters in del. how great to see. let's go with your weather report across the middle east and africa, we see signs that the wind is starting to pick up the bit through the goal. so this is a breeze blowing down from iraq 24 degrees for us, and they'll help but otherwise on thursday. things are com across the baby and peninsula also con for this parts of asia. plenty of sun in the mix. not a bad day, and ask about 10 degrees, a bit breezy in baku at 11. but where things start to get dicey is western and

southern turkey. this fire hose of rain coming off the mediterranean and will be blanketed in rain through cyprus island as well. on thursday, off to africa, we go. and we've got to talk about the seats in nigeria, so we put the colors on target of reading the orange. the higher the temperature lagos, matching it's hot, is december tate on record. close to 37 degrees. you now have come down just a bit to 34 on thursday, which is more in line with where you should be this on your brain really picks up around the western side, close to the gulf of guinea into the south. it has been quite dry in the western cape providence, in south africa as a wildfire burning near cape town. and then we see that rain really pick up right across san be including for its capital soccer on thursday. that's it, and see you next time the, the president biden says once a 2 state solution for palestinians and israelis, what does anybody believe it's doable? what this is real for?
8:18 am
i'm gonna say it back to us foreign policy. and what are the long term consequences for the region and the world? a quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line. we know what's happening in our region. we know how to get to places that others can know as far as instead of going or the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. the spoken back here took her mind about top stories here. this hour at least 10 palestinians have been killed and his radio strikes on the residential towers and southern guns that happened either to
8:19 am
a hospital or the city of ruffled just behind the mountains here at television crew, as they will live on. the number of palestinians killed and israel as one does as now we 20000 death tones rise, and by the hours the army intensifies attacks on civilians in the south. yes, president joe biden is costing balance on prospects of an imminent see spot of deal between israel and how about us. unfortunately, there's no expectation we are pushing and your reaction will biden's comments come off and national security spokesman john, because he said discussions about a potential truce. now in his words, very serious its middle of the us decorative stage says israel has an obligation to minimize civilian casualties in gaza. anthony blank and was speaking on his end of the a press conference. mike kind of has moved from washington dc. the us secretary of
8:20 am
state spoke as to how the us has strengthened its alliance in various parts of the globe. he was aust directly, to what extent its continued and unqualified support of israel and its operation is casa, is affecting these alliances. he did not address that directly. what he did say is that even some countries opposed to the united states still see it as a leader in these ongoing crisis. so he's continuing to insist that the us has a role to play, and te insinuates that it is not losing global support because of its ongoing support as well. but on that issue, he continued to maintain that his israel has a right and indeed a duty to continue its operations against him us. at the same time, it has a right and a duty and what he calls a strategic need to minimize the casualties that incur during its operations.
8:21 am
this is what he said on that subject. we continue to believe it is real, does not have to choose between removing this letter from us and minimizing the total on civilians and guys, it has an obligation to do both and it has a strategic interest to do both more determine that ever to ensure that out of this or if it tragedy comes a moment. a possibility is riley's for palestinians for the region to live in last in peace and lasting security. that out of the start. this a comes like the sick real estate reiterated on a number of occasions that to use his words. it is vitally important how israel context it's operations. however, he also made clear that it is up to israel to decide how to do that, not the united states might kinda, i'll just the era washington. meanwhile,
8:22 am
the un security council has delayed a vote for 3rd day and a resolution that would cool for the suspension of hostilities in garza diplomats have been negotiating with the united states on the wording of the draft. earlier this month. washington ventura resolution calling for a ceasefire. well, united arab emirates tables that latest resolution it's, i'm baffled into the un voiced hope the security council would come together to respond to the crisis. and gallons of diplomacy takes time. it means evolving conversations and people are giving it their attention at the highest levels of the capitals that have leverage on this. so i think from that sense you have to be optimistic and diplomacy, otherwise we wouldn't or come into this building every day. not sense. i am optimistic, but in another sense if this fails, then we will continue to keep trying because we have to keep trying. there's too much suffering on ground. uh for the counsel to continue to fail on this and we haven't failed. we have a resolution 2712 we need to build on that resolution. and i hope we will also adopt a humanitarian resolution the response to the crisis on ground. ok,
8:23 am
but that is on those at un headquarters with the latest from the security council. just within the past 3 days, there have been 7 different delays or postponements in this un security council vote on humanitarian aid. getting into guys the main sticking point we believe now with the united states is this language in the draft, as it's written now about a monitoring mechanism being implemented essentially would be the united nations that takes the lead in overseeing and facilitating this a getting into gaza and then it's distribution to the people that need it the most . now, why are other security council members agreeing to these delays? we believe the reason is because they to want to get a draft of this resolution that is acceptable to the united states, at least. so the americans don't veto it, of diplomat say they will be returning here to the security council on thursday
8:24 am
where they hope to have some sort of agreement on a resolution that can get passed gabriel's on to i'll just didn't at united nations in new york. the time to look at some of the world news now when it's been nearly 5 months since the crew in this yeah, ousted president, mom and but soon the miniature takeover resulted in sanctions imposed by the regional block echo as they've led to hyper inflation the millions of people are really struggling with food shortages. i'll just say what the ultimate interest of what's in the capital, naomi of these just begin tours struggling to feel the shelves and to find customers to buy the few goods available. or how much i utilize just finish shopping for a family for christmas. i am a some i've been like before. now you can get all the things you want to buy goods discussed and very expensive. so we're forced to cut the amount of food we also
8:25 am

8:26 am
the higher transport costs. many people here say the cost functions are in domain and selective. they say just pause the clue in other members space of the region above. the penalties here are the harshest. and the last meeting, west african leaders indicated a willingness to reverse the senses. if they didn't to agree structural transition disobedient rules, what are the new alliance of ministry? let congress in the region just june to doesn't seem to be in hardy to relinquish power. how many degrees? i'll just see that you hear me a voting and democratic republic of congo. a general election has been extended by one day in some areas that softer delays at some paulding stations in the capital kinshasa and several other towns. some problems didn't open a tool that roles the reports of faulty voting machines and allegations, a bunch of rules. venezuela has freed 10 us prisoners in exchange for the release
