8:30 pm
correct, and i'll just correct you briefly on something that amendment actually passed. it got 10 votes and it only needed 9. it's just the united states used. it's vito power to be told. yeah. okay. all right, so this is an interesting procedural court. the amendment is considered to have passed yet that language is not in the resolution. correct? uh correct. it did. it did not pass, but it had the votes to pass. if the us did not choose to be tow it. okay, sorry, thank you for the correct and it didn't pass the us be towed it could have passed it to us having detailed it. the bottom line is that there is no coal in this resolution for a pause in the finding something else i'm noticing in this text. and i'm wondering whether it's going to become relevant. it says that that you, when it says that the age since this text, as we, as you laid out the details, focuses mostly on humanitarian aid, getting more 8 and faster into guys. it says the aid needs to get there for all the
8:31 pm
routes that are available. it says also we're keeping an eye on what's happening at the security council. it says also um that border crossings should not be attacked. i mean, this is interesting because only yesterday the car level selim border crossing that allows a to go into gaza. one of the 2 border crossings was attack. so that kind of thing . hold on, i'm seeing that the but antonio gutierrez, the secretary, generally speaking with listening, gape, and children. meanwhile, a mazda on the policy, the infection just continued to fire the rock goods from guys into israel. some 1900000 people, 85 percent of guys, the population being forced from their homes. the health system is on its knees. hospitals in the south side of dealing with at least 3 times the capacity. and then the noise that battling operational or when colleagues
8:32 pm
describe the desperately site lives of a hospital with no medication or statements funded sick. i need your patients according to the world food program, wide spreads fact mean looms model and how familiar and people are part of the population are facing what experts classify as catastrophic levels of hung up for other 5 of the angriest people anywhere in the world's. i didn't godsa and cleaning lots of ease at the typical unicef phone that these place children in the saw successfully just 10 percent of the water they needs in these desperate conditions is least the one the that's many people cannot wait 40 minutes and distributions and not a good at being whatever they can from a deluxe. as i warned,
8:33 pm
probably part of that is that 3 of breaking down humanitarian veterans. we have sort of a lot of zones. and these us, that's, that all the world's people. we have seen every seeing. tell me they have seen nothing like what they see today in golf. so usually it'll be got it's many patio but i should introduce paul. so the already sink federal tax launched by have miles on 7 october and nothing can possibly justify those effects or the brutal abduction of some $250.00 hostages. vitally bits my goal for all remaining also, jews could be the leaves immediately and then conditionally. nothing can justify the continued fight of rockets from gaza and see the inside of it's in israel or the use of civilians as human shields or but at the same time, these, the violations of international humanitarian law getting never just defy the
8:34 pm
collective punishment of the policy and people and they do not pretty israel from its own obligations and that international law. ladies and gentlemen of the press, many people out of measuring the effectiveness of the many teddy. and we'll put ation in gaza based on the number of flux from the ships in the rep. could i send you an involved that bottom notice the thought a lot to unload a across the bottom. but this is a mistake. the real problem is that the, what use ratio is conducting these will fantasies. he's creating massive ops that goes to the distribution of humanitarian. they've eaten side godsa and effective a, they'll put ation. even guys, that required security software can work even safety. luxury speak of capacity and the resumption of commercial look cvt. these 4 elements do not exist.
8:35 pm
for security, we are providing guide in the water zone. the dentist is rarely bombarded mentally active calling boxing data sleep population, thought about nadia throughout the gods. a set them the lives of civilians and humanitarian is a lot of good as a, like we waited 71 days for israel finally to a lot way to edit the gaza via the get him show on crossing. and the crossings was then hit while a trucks was in the area, seconds, the minutes at a low price of the required stuff. ok, and leave and working safety. went on the 36 of all colleagues in guys had been killed in 75 days. something we have never seen in the city of the united nations. no wedge is safe in gaza. as i all noted, the women in man, we have made the ultimate sacrifice and die,
8:36 pm
but they would do the thousands of humanitarian aid. what occurred as well risking that health and lives in gaza, even as i speak, most of all stuff being forced from their homes. all of them spend how, what is each day simply struggling to survive and to support that families is admitted goals that they have been able to continue working and the these conditions. and yet those same colleagues that expended humanitarian operations who can solve in gaza to support people leaving dash while i'm trying to assist the fly, the displaced people who arrived from the north. we've nothing and they're currently providing, getting the rough uh west them can you and is that al bella and losing it up in the sauce and doing their best to reach the knots, despite huge challenges. namely, security is appalling conditions. they can only meets affection of the
8:37 pm
needs set of logistics. every truck that arrives, zip got them shalom, and they're off. it must be loaded. and this kind of go reload, beads for distribution across casa, we ourselves of a lead me to the, the sufficient number of products available for these many of our vehicles on tracks with the story the left behind the volleyball force. so really evacuation from the, not us, but these really are funny, these have not the last, any additional products to open. i even got so and this is massively haven't putting a open ation and do you live in canada is extremely dangerous due to active conflict, unexploded ordnance and heavily damage results. as every, with frequent communication blackouts make it virtually impossible to coordinate
8:38 pm
the distribution of age and to let people know or to accept it and force them. finally, the assumption of commercial activities, essential shelves, empty wallets are empty, stomachs are empty, just wouldn't basically, is open anything in the whole of gaza. and i urge this value of funding these to least restrictions on commercial activity. immediately. we are ready to scale up all cash can support the vault level families, the most effective form of the manufacturer needs. but thing garza that has very little to buy. so ladies and gentlemen of the med, yeah. in the circumstances i've just described. you mentioned that in a ceasefire is the only way to be deemed to meet the best but the needs of people, even garza, and, and that ongoing nights mash, i hope that today a security policy resolution may help the finally to happen. but much more is
8:39 pm
needed immediately looking at the longer term. i'm extremely disappointed by comments by senior these value officials. that's put the 2 state solution into question. as difficult as it might appear today. the 2 state solution in line with un resolutions international law and previous agreements is the only pass to sustainable piece and is suggested otherwise. the night is human rights, dignity and hope to the policy and people feeling grades that they've had. but i decided beyond garza is also the eliza se future for israel. this below varies already happening. the occupied west baton keys at barling point. they exchange the fight across the line between 11 and then be isabel bows. a great risk to regional stability as a tax. and so that still sleeping on the red sea by the whole,
8:40 pm
disney admin are impacting shipping with the potential to affect the global supply chains and beyond the immediate region. the conflict these polarizing communities feeling hate speech and feeling ex, that amusing all these poses a significant and growing setup to global peace and security. as the conflict into suffice and the heart of groves will continue to do our parts. we will not give up. but at the same time, it is imperative that the international communities speak with one voice for peace, for the protection of civilians, for them to suffering and sort of commitment to the 2 state solution backed with action. thank you. thank you. thank you very much like the general and that is between loud. is there english on behalf of the you and correspondence association . thank you very much for this briefing. my question to you. it's been over 2 weeks
8:41 pm
since you invoked article 199. and up until this point until today, the security council has failed to act and we haven't seen a resolution until the resolution. we just passed this resolution costs when increased to 8, but it does not join your call for a ceasefire. when you invoked article 99, were you hoping for more urgency on the part of the security council and perhaps even for them to join your call for us these 5? of course i was of that doesn't mean that things happen according to all hopes. but in any case today, you can see always a glasses, all full or off empty. but i hope that's 2 days the resolution will make people understands that humanitarians whose fire is indeed something that is needed. if we want the money that he needs to be fixed. if we believe that a linda and then just a secretary general and they have been p r. i was just wondering the resolution
8:42 pm
calls for both sides to, to allow unhindered, safe delivery of aid. we know status more or less about israel's role. i was wondering on the other side in terms of how mass, how significant is how mazda is up control or of not allowing access to a to the people's as well. we have condemned all violations of international meet that in law, violations by hamas in relation to the civilian shields organization to the rock of 7 to israel and the violations the done by israel. so these are let's, let's bump out of months and the fact that you are having a total of civilians that is totally unprecedented. the no conflicts i've seen until now. so obviously that these white a ceasefire is needed to stop all obstacles coming from wherever they come to you.
8:43 pm
many times expired, but i'm sorry, again, but just how significant is a mazda is denial of access to age? i mean, is it minor or is it, you know, a medium amount? i think it is one of the contributions that need to be taken into account joe and, but it's obviously not the major effects of when we look at the situation today and us. as joseph klein, i'm kind of free press. first. i want to wish you and your family a very happy holiday. happy holidays. so thank you. my question uh, also involves a mouse. do really realistically states that a viable, sustainable 2 states solution as possible, as long as from us exist with their threats to repeat october 7th, over and over again. and what is your comment on the fact that israel has offered? i believe it has the least a 7 day pause to allow the release of more hostages and more a to come in to guys,
8:44 pm
but come off as flatly turn that down that demanding a complete permanent ceasefire. thank you. so 1st of all, i do believe that we knew the humanitarian ceasefire that has been what i believe it is needed. but of course, uh, we are favorable to any balls that's getting leads to improve monthly new menu to engage and to the exchange of the business. and so we know definitely go stations that taking place. i've been actively in contact. uh, we've got uh, we've egypt to and with others. and i hope that there's negotiations, we'll be able to leads to the new opportunities for the release of hostages with all position missions of the reasons of officers is very clear. we believe that there must be an immediate and unconditional release of hostages. your 1st question
8:45 pm
was about got you. uh, yeah, well my 1st question, they kind of relate to each other. the 1st question was whether you believe yes, realistically, that there could be a 2 state solution as long as a mass exists and then is that age? responding to? the 2nd question i specifically would be interested in knowing your comment on her mazda is refusal to accept even a 7 day pause. they want to roll and nothing. i mean, both sides of the total of not seeing. and that is why we do it all to manage to have an agreement. i think it's important to have speeds of compromise, but the 1st question is very important. we believe that to the legitimate to representative of the policy didn't people, is the policy no thought it. and what we want to see is the creation of conditions that will allow the policy to know 42, to assume responsibilities in casa,
8:46 pm
and that is the now the opinion, the solution to allow for the 2 state solution to become the object that has been busy and then we'll close it and then it's actually the fastest agency of turning back from uh guys, uh, what is the current situation we use green to you and do you tend to communicate with the russian official. so maybe it was the rest of the president's flight important. so the, the great deal we have been in contact with both sides. so trying to explore new forms that's i don't think the repetition is going to deal with make sense to as bringing the houses here was gabriel elizondo at un headquarters in new york gave we've just been listening to the head of the un, un secretary general antonio gutierrez, who delivered remarks in the media just after a united,
8:47 pm
the united nations security council adopted resolution 1029 that you were telling us about earlier. it is the resolution that calls for and demands increased massively increased humanitarian aid to the gaza strip. what did you make of good choices, remarks? what stood out to you or yeah, few things. i mean i think number one, he was very clear of what he wants and re integrated what he's been calling for 4 weeks now. and that's a full humanitarian ceasefire. and that is not even close to what is now in this new security council resolution that was just voted upon and voted for this now, binding by international law. so the secretary general is not backing down on that is continues to say the only re way that they can really expedite humanitarian aid,
8:48 pm
ramp up humanitarian aid, and get it in safely to the people that need. it is a full seas fired. he reintegrated that and even said it again when he was asked by our, my colleague and i use it to him or how does your un producer was? she asked about that and he simply said, of course, were his words, we need a humanitarian ceasefire. it's needed beyond that, i think he, you know, pointed out to israel in several instances or at least identified israel saying that, you know, he said we need more trucks to deliver aid because so many of them were destroyed as we were helping evacuated people south, early in the conflict that when the israel was demanding people move south, he was calling on israel to lift the restrictions on commercial activity and gaza and said that the called upon israel to protect the border crossings, open them and keep them protected. so 8 can get through. and lastly,
8:49 pm
a 136 you and staff have been killed, duties really, environment environment have guys as since october 7th. and clearly that is at home here at the united nations secretary general reminded people of that, that un facilities and you and staff must be protected, which they have not been up to this point. gabriel, looking at the remarks the gutierrez remarks, he explained, is that a humanitarian, a large scale humanitarian program can be measured just by the number of trucks that are crossing into the gaza strip. it requires a lot more than that. namely it require security. people need to be moved to be able to move around. trucks need to be able to move around. 8 needs to be able to delivered to the teams, need to be able to communicate, etc, etc. if, if you listen to what he says it takes to roll out the massive humanitarian program, it would imply a significant reduction in the fighting with it. it
8:50 pm
would, and that's why you hear him calling for a full cease fire. it's not just a matter of a, you know, you a temporary pause. he says, listen, we welcome any sort of pause and fighting. those are his words, of course. but he also made it clear that temporary clauses are just that temporary . and that doesn't necessarily help for the long term and, and the, the need is so vast, and that just simply a few days doesn't do it quite frankly. and that's what the un has been saying all along. and that's what you saw. it looks what you heard, the secretary general reiterate, there are gabriel's on the reporting there from the united nations where in the last few moments we saw the security council passed the resolution demanding more aid and faster aid to get into the gaza strip gate will come back to you in a moment, but i want to go to northern milady professor media and communication at guitar
8:51 pm
university. you've been listening to all of these proceedings. it'd be when with us . i wonder if there's going to be perhaps something of a, of a fight or a battle over the definition of what constitutes safe delivery of humanitarian a. because this resolution calls for allowing safe delivery of aid. the un secretary general just described. you went to a great deal of detail to describe what it takes to deliver aid and it sounds like almost stopping the war and large parts of gauze and his understanding of it. but the not to a function doesn't on so the or doesn't on. so what it does not say which is a, a ceasefire re, is his fire. the paves the way to the safe mobilization of people who are injured to need a patients who need urgent medication, for example, to travel abroad or also to the free flow of goods and material into heads. this is
8:52 pm
what it doesn't say. so therefore, the, the, the, the, the, the queen is your, the way the sent is word which is key. create the conditions for a sustainable a. i think i think there is less to be is really interpretation of how can be can this be implemented on the, on the ground. and i really hear echo the concern of antonio terrace. he's very clearly in his speech, in his best confidence. he was, he was a kind of suspicious, too old and hopeful. he wasn't optimistic because he mentioned 3 or 4 things as obstacles with regard to this resolution. and he said the issue of aid workers. yeah. for human beings. what people who are without homes and they need to the help with the, with this project, your staff needs to be able to work. exactly. and he spoke about the just fix also
8:53 pm
it says this is t were if you want in the condition of war. if you are in a situation where the is where it is, are able to but, or are kind of from a, have the ability to, to, to, to use any military offensive anywhere in the has uh, which means the logistics would be problematic. and he spoke about the roads, how, how rhodes themselves also destroyed. and we know, for example, in the previous bull is how it took a couple of days for the uh, for people to get the, the roads ready. so that the best way of showing his and the other thing is, but he mentioned, well, the issue of communication for example, because i think a situational for, i mean, you have a really unusual for me to be able to communicate so, so, so, so, so really we can see from even go terrace stuff. it is problematic when it comes to taking this kind of resolution. but also we add to the, the point of view of frushell here when she's spoken the in the security council and the percentage of frushell a fresh. i spoke about 3 key things. she said the draft avoids any
8:54 pm
form of condemnation offices, right? we see this blood shed with so we see this evil happening for the last 2 months on, on palestinian people. and there is no word of condemnation in this resolution. there is no word of condemnation by the united states of america, of the killing of now $20000.00 people of the battery are probably of tens of thousands of people under the rubble of, of, of, of, of the just replacement. those 2 median people from different parts of that. the 2nd thing the, the, the, the, the, the russian rep mentioned was, is it basically gives israel a free hand in continuing the hostility. it's actually built in stops, you'll still have to yes, these, but maybe a condo for flow of assistance in terms of speed, whatever it is, health foods, a sunny day, things, even material to for tense and whatever. but at the same time,
8:55 pm
it doesn't say anything about stopping the hostility. so is right and still have a free hug. that's why the, the, the russian, the russian suggestion was to, to, to, to actually make this amendment in order to quote, for other reasons 5. because we don't send me, it says via there will be no real and sustainable system ethics little of age into heads, which really fits in with the needs of the people. now officially in this resolution, the un has not vetoed a ceasefire. it has in the past with previous resolutions, this one, it did not veto a ceasefire because the word ceasefire isn't in this text, right? but the reason the word ceasefire isn't in the text is because the us wouldn't agree to that language. so is this a shadow vito of a ceasefire by the us as well? i mean, i mean uh we understand because of the change of the, um, uh the, the way the language is cleaned in a way is actually to avoid
8:56 pm
a reince's fight. and this will dispense of the west for the last few days. and this was the distance of the us when the, the west representative in the security council actually spoke. she called them for the student in people including how much, but she didn't say anything about the as well. and she didn't say anything in one word to call them. the beloved said that these before being on the palestinian people. uh, but also she, she was talking about to you by the time and she was talking about the columbus. columbus is on the front of the sinews. but also she didn't speak about a sustainable mechanism that can help the police didn't use the stand on the feet and become human is again, she doesn't say anything about that. this is really very much worrying about the future of this resolution itself. as the application of visitors and itself, we have about a minute left before we take a break, right? but there's something, something i do want to bring up. again,
8:57 pm
60 seconds left. okay, to calibrate your answer. but then you, as did point out, it is the 1st time that this language for this significant ramping up a few minutes hearing aid is used. how significant is that for you? i mean, honestly, i don't see it significant. i see it sort of the, the, the, the, the, the interest of his room. and i see the us administration here playing the road or on behalf of the is where the government and nothing less. because all of this is an actual fight, sustaining the overhand of his red onto this hold. opperation, meaning the flow of age with the, from a kind of cell, i'm uh, place, or from roof or it's, it's actually giving is where the upper hand of everything the flow is in from those places. whether they are goods, whether they are material and what have you. alright, no, do you mean i do? thank you for the following. all of that with us, we're going to take a quick break. we will be back at the top of the hour as we continue to debrief of
8:58 pm
the un security council vote that just adopted a new resolution calling for increased agents. augusta, the hello. thank you for turning in right off the bat. let me show you this video in northwest saudi arabia to book we had to wrench all down ports here. so that red led to water lock streets and still is active, whether it's rolling through the vans, pushing into iraq, dropping down through kuwait, northern and western saudi arabia. but i think on saturday got to talk about make a profit. and so we do have burst of rain here. so jetta certainly running the risk of seeing some flooding that the winds are coming out of this solid. so that's kind of lift temperatures like a re art, up to $27.00 degrees. also talking about some pretty incredible warm through central asia. again, because of a southerly when there's
8:59 pm
a temperature and ask about 21 degrees, you know what, you should be this time of the year 10. now this isn't record breaking stuff. it's happened before. the record has 33 degrees, but still while above average. and you know, we're going to get dallas with rain through the lift and they root could see about a months worth of rain over the next 24 hours. still unsettled for western and northern turkey on saturday and same goes for the mediterranean coast of africa. look at these winds here that could produce a few showers through the coast of libya and egypt are usual showers and storms in central africa. and as we head toward the south, it's still hot for the western cape providence on saturday. see you later. the, the latest news as it breaks, beginning of the 3 captives, 1st of all cabinets to see if it could to a new deal with him. i said earlier that i just wanted to be, as really seemed to be more willing to work towards the sea spot with detailed
9:00 pm
coverage is where the on is targeting medical seems as it tries to get to treat the wounded and fearless journalism change of value, grief is unrelenting, and homes are no longer century the the hello i'm serial then. yeah, it's good to have you with us. this is the news our lives from bill coming up in the program. the un security council approves the resolutions for more humanitarian aid, the gaza. after days of wrangling, but the us vito's, a russian call for an urgent cessation of hostilities. the real problem is that the way easily always conducting these will fantasies, is creating massive obstacles.
