4:00 am
and he was involved in creating the destruction of monuments, aims to wash their spirits and punish those, showing support for any acts of resistance. hannah chose his 5 year old son, add them both of them working on this culture and says, the process tells a lot about casting used to, i guess. and again, are you and security council votes on resolution calling for increased 8 for gaza is pushed back once again. the week of this is, i just need a life from dell ha. also coming up. does that suffers another day, always really strikes as the number of palestinians killed since the war began? passes 20000 world food program wants guns. that is at risk of
4:01 am
a devastating sam. and if the conflict continued and at least 5 palestinians are injured in confrontations, but is there any forces doing another night to raise across the occupied west? the and so within the last hour, the un security council has delayed a vote on a resolution calling for increased aid for gaza. they are expected to address the issue on friday. the vote has been pushed back several times this week because of wrangling over the wording of the draft. the us opposes use of the phrase cessation . the latest proposal by the united arab emirates calls for quote urgent and sustained suspension of hostilities. ok, but it was on the is live force a un headquarters to gave we will lead to believe that something was going to
4:02 am
happen tonight. but uh, once again, that's not the case to yeah, that's not you ask yourself why and we think we know the reason why we just partially. i mean these negotiations, all happened behind closed doors. got a state that again, none of us were inside the room. but we have gotten an idea of some of the changes that were made to the draft resolution. 3 of them are quite significant and that's perhaps why they were not able to come up with an agreement. the changes are there, as you mentioned, there was the wording suspension of hostilities according to a new wording that has been put in there that has been taken out and they're calling now for creating the conditions for a c section of hostilities. so that's a little bit watered down there, if you will. also the original draft called for a un monitoring mechanism, a very robust one at that un monitoring all the aid coming into guys and helping to
4:03 am
get it in faster that has been taken out. now they're calling just for uh, a senior coordinator to be appointed by the secretary general to oversee the aid coming in. and then this is a big one. there is another part of the original draft resolution that condemned the indiscriminate attacks against civilians that has been completely struck from a new draft. we believe that is being discuss now. given these changes, diplomatic sources are telling us russia and palestine investors are very not happy with these changes at all. and now we're back to the drawing board essentially. they decided after well over an hour, late this evening to basically call it a night and try to come back tomorrow to see if they can reach some sort of conclusion here. now the us and bass, or the un linda thomas greenfield, made some brief comments to reporters as she left the security council chambers.
4:04 am
and she basically said that this is not watered down and that they support this, these new changes without going into the details that i just told you. but, but clearly there are other members now that are saying that these changes go too far for what they're willing to vote for. yeah, clearly some way to go there. gabriel was under life worse uh at the united nations . when rabbani is the co editor of the online magazine, jo, delia and an arab israeli conflict analyst, the georgia slide. now for montville, thanks very much for being with us. so let me ask you, 1st of all about what's happening at the u. n. right now, and this kind of parsing of the language and wrangling over just what's going to be included in the, in the text. so this deal, is it really going to make any difference in the well i, i think the dilemma here is that any resolution that could make a meaningful difference in terms of the situation on the ground and the gaza strip
4:05 am
certain to be vetoed by the united states and any resolution that the united states feels that is able to support is going to be essentially meaningless for the besieged population of the gaza strip. i mean, let's be clear and was only this week that the united states voted against a general assembly resolution affirming the right of the policy need. people to self determination. in addition to what your correspondent was reporting, there are additional reports that the us insisted on seeing references to a demand for all parties. not, not just israel, all parties to respect international humanitarian law to have that removed from the draft resolution as well. so in effect, the, the us is voting for the continuation of the seat problem for the continuation of
4:06 am
the mass killings in the gaza strip. and most importantly, the idea of few monitoring and assistance without a cease fire is absolutely meaningless and illusory. i mean, who in their right mind believes that humanitarian assistance can be delivered throughout the gaza strip to all those in need of while, because a strip is experiencing the most intensive bombing campaign in the entire history of the middle east to. and when you see all of the pictures that are coming out of gauze are, and what we've been reporting there, how the, the, the, the constant bombardment and the desperate humanitarian situation. and that is just opposed with what's happening in new york. and, you know, we see, well, we don't see, it looks behind closed doors, but people sitting around the tables at all getting over this wood and that what, what do you make of, what does that, what do you make of that contrast as well,
4:07 am
i guess um uh you have a situation in new york where a super power with vito powers and the security council is doing its absolute best to ensure that the situation on the ground and gaza remains unchanged as if it changes. it will only change for the worst. and i think it's important to point out here that one reason that the us would like to see references to international law removed from the draft resolution is because under international law. and that's remember, the security council is effectively the custodian of the, of, of international law to large extent. under international law. there can be no conditionality to the provision of humanitarian aid to a civilian population. and more importantly, or as importantly under international law, an occupying power has
4:08 am
a positive obligation to provide humanitarian assistance to the population that occupies so as requested, implied. there is a complete disconnect between the discussions in new york and the reality in the gaza strip. and as a final point, i think it's worth considering that one reason the usaa seeking to make this an absolute, the meaningless word sell of a resolution is that perhaps they are trying to provoke the russians or perhaps the chinese into casting a vote against this resolution. because it does nothing and then you know they can play the innocent angel and blame others for the continuation of their policies. good to get your perspective on this marine rabbani thanks so much for being with us. thank you. i a, a re families in southern guns that had been collecting the bodies of their loved ones from moves
4:09 am
a day off. there's really strikes on the city of ruffled out of thing. and officials say the latest attacks of taking the death toll to at least $20000.00. now in what the u. n has cooled a tragic and shameful milestone party. i was doing reports from rough. i told it would be safe here. why have you left us behind? why done? why father was among those killed in. it's been a strike one the most in the place. he's been forces to the house that needs to evacuate to as part of the most, the bombs key for them. and he was praying in the mosque, and while he was outside the bombing happened and he was killed. may god have mercy on his soul. my sister, her husband and daughter when the same area and they were very affected. but it was her husband who was scale is where the forces show to homes, alley,
4:10 am
most of the hospital. my mother, she was always good to another more in roughly that families the same, disappear. this, as is very sources announce attached to $250.00 target of course goes over 24 hour period. the people have siblings, but i know going back to they don't get admitted and they can children and dislike people's homes outside the bodies by not do what's left behind. solve it, what we can and try to survive one more day until the next strike as palestinians escape attacks in the north. israel's unrelenting boom buttons of the south leaves people completely venerable and i'm safe,
4:11 am
even in the places where they are taking refuge as more and more of those areas are reduced to russell topic. up by zoom out to the euro. roughly in the south of garza and israel's attacks across the strip all continuing taught at census this update from raphael in southern gauze. and the attacks on the gaza strip did not stop during the stay where the east really military forces are expanding the military ration. of course, every area in deterred treat carmel was handling buddhist today had been widely attacked by these while the forces from the palestinian slide were full palestinians have been killed, including the director of the it'd be curbside and come up said of course in vote were also these attacks continued in the main central neighborhoods of the gospel city and in the northern parts of the church, we including to value refuge account where we're more than 30 palestinians have been killed during the state as that is where the forces attacking residential
4:12 am
building civil infrastructure alongside with destruction of hospital and mass campaign of execution on the ground for an impulse palestinian families earlier today. now these valley attacks on the territory has claimed the lives of more than 20000 palestinians. the number of casualties has sort based around 50850000 others who have been a critically wounded and receiving treatment thing in gauze. a hospital that you have to ration of the humanitarian conditions inside goal is a strict continues, and it's a very limited to humanitarian access had been allows for the chart tree target. give us out. just a rough, rough off in the south of golf district is where the war plains have gone. the residential building in con, units in southern gaza, killing more than 30 palestinians. most of them women and children just as honey. a shad reports from the scene of the attack on what was supposed to be a safe zone. but zillow said earlier to the the,
4:13 am
the unit. it was that when i see it is yet another masika carried out by these really war planes against on civilians. in the southeastern part of hon, eunice and it is to show the all opposed to the police. the deep understanding is what killed one, it's the opposite of the majority of those killed when women and children have come up. so don't, i don't know if you had the, unless i run the all the way to allow you to see the picture more closely. not even . and this is the optimize of the easy way, not a real bombardment. want to focus on this house belongs to them, walmart from it. it was totally destroyed by these really jet fighters in the home of the fall, as mentioned about the deep understanding of what killed, embodied the money is still missing. i believed to be buried under the department has been a lucky it's a possible help which has been always like no civil defense teams of arrived to search for somebody or at least to recover the dead bodies of those underneath the russell. and i'm also need when i think this is mainly because the old access roads are destroyed most uh and it will be something that you this how do you want us to
4:14 am
go to this area close to the european hospital in the middle east of con, unit south of because of the triple, what it has a, this area was declared, but the is waiting for his as a safe zone. it as a highlight has to come in the main edition because then it come off and no warning was given to the residents to evacuate. fema, you know many civilians or had mostly displaced from other parts of the city. what taking refuge in this residential building as if he would be giving it to be safe for whoever has ever sent out of call to him. and i do these riley's legs the southern parts in regards to skip the sites where is the select safety? these ratings are trying to force us out of a home, only overnight, more than 50 women and children were killed. there's no presence of 85 times here. we do not know what to do a way to go. i'm not killing by the dozens. and this is the not called result, which of the indiscriminate to copy and bombing light is really what claims on densely populated residential areas. i'm sure that that's a deal,
4:15 am
but the the world food program has one, gaza is at risk of a devastating famine if the conflict continues. report by the un and other agency says at least one and 4 household's already facing catastrophic hunger. that's nearly 577000 people out of a population of 2300000 suffering from an extreme lack of food reports as the risk of famine is increasing. by the day, you an agency say only 10 percent of gauze as food needs have been entering the strip in recent weeks. earlier, we heard from wsp spokesperson to 8 to explained the scale of the crisis. this level of, uh, this level, unprecedented. so that's uh, more than, uh it's, it's about $577000.00 people at sea level 5 right now in gaza. that's a sort of
4:16 am
a police. and like you said, and the just to give you a perspective, this number is 4 times more the level of, of, of, of i, pc 5 numbers that we see around the world combined. so the complexity, the magnitude and the speed of how this crisis unfolded is unprecedented. so we need sustain safe access. we need opening of orders and processing. so food can come in. we need to be able to deliver that, that a to a food where people need it and we just, we need a few supplies. we need this fighting to stop because otherwise the suffering will continue. normally in order to get into that category, you need to have 2 out of 10000 people died every day because of the food a muscle up because of hunger malnutrition. and so, um, obviously you can imagine how bad so this could get out and this is not all
4:17 am
including all the other factors that is contributing to the suffering right now is as a the still ahead on how to 0 witnesses tell us is really forces in guns i killed 11 on pallets the men in execution style in front of fm and in other news mass shooting at a university in the capsule of the czech republic. it's being called the west and the countries is the the, the weather brought to you by visit capital. hello, let's go with your weather report across the americas. good to have you along. so whether alerts remain across a huge spots of argentine, no temperatures are starting to come up again as those storms start to peter out that we do have some activity popping up around by a blanca,

4:26 am
almost 9 and a half 1000 palestinians being held without charged. israel's jail 7820 palestinians. 260 are classified as unlawful. competence rights groups are concerned, some of these really present setup off to the will begin on violating international human rights. so, and increasingly subjecting palestinians to abuse him on con, reports from the occupied westbank surrounded by pictures of prisoners, a slight form and current. the public standing prisoner society keeps track of those arrested and those released since october. the 7th, that task has become even more challenging and more and more hearing about women and children, hilda and joe of being arrested in garza. and he said on a takes testimony. some of these released, she tells us about one of the more present from goals i was hoping to hear throughout the period of her detention show me blindfolded and with her legs and
4:27 am
head start the prison according to what she said is a completely open barracks with no rooms in about 30, all the female prisoners at the change in the same place that would allow the united nations decide on december the 16th it received numerous reports of mess, detentions false disappearances, and ill treatment of prisoners from northern cause including women and children who are specifically protected under the geneva convention. the little of the conflict is rose in grunting. any organization, excess of its trainees. a fact the red cross says contributions international humanitarian. we are not currently getting excess. we are speaking to it is rarely authorities and reminding them of their obligations on the international. and this includes uh for palestinians as protected persons under the geneva conventions that we all have access to them. and they are allowed to also retain access with their family members. since october, the 7th,
4:28 am
these riley is have set up or expanded military base is like the woman behind me to hold what they called a mass prisoners. they say that anybody that's been interrogated that isn't linked to the group, is released without charge, but international and local human rights groups say that the testimony they getting from people released from places like this and others across the occupied westbank . so a significant cause for concern when it comes to international humanitarian law in wrong calling out 0 the occupied westbank. it is very false as have 5 live rounds of palestine use in the city over my let in the occupied west bank injuring 5 people. the shootings followed range by is ready forces across several neighborhoods. the trigger confrontations with dozens of young men, the demo rates in the town of coughing, and they feel like camp in occupied east jerusalem. laura con, has more from romo. today we saw

a day time rate happening on all fronts surrounding ramallah, which is where i am now a one of the most violent came from. i'm spa, this is around 5 minutes. we'll just just north of here. now inside the is radius and entered it around 5 pm as it was discussing dock, the subject to find a tear gas. we know at least 40 people suffocation from the fumes if tear gas so they are recovering in hospital, they were firing around families. so we know this affected families, women, children, and they also fired rubber coated still bullets which are incredibly dangerous. they did injure at least 4 people and also live around. so we're not entirely sure whether it was the live rounds. all the replicas still puts that credit to the injuries, but we know that they are now recovering in hospital. and now that potentially find a way to help it into all thought refuge account, which is an occupied history. on this slide,
4:30 am
all see is ready will the x rays and tests, but they will met with serious confrontation. so what we're seeing from video evidence are plumes of tear gas smoke every where people drive and going about the daily lives and driving a walking through this paragraph to own, to even involved in the confrontations. and also we saw fireworks being shot back out by the palestinians living the let's take a look at the days of the stories. now at least 14 people have been killed and 25, others wounded in a mass shooting at a university in check republics capital proc official, say the shoot that was a student at the university. sonya go reports a russia clinic as people we of the hearings gunfire that product charles university the somebody to the shooting police field of the surrounding at .
