4:03 am
of think he's very destruction. insight goal is a strict topic about zoom out just a rough rough off in the south of the territory. agencies are wanting to bodies less lying in the streets and gone. so under the rubble of destroyed buildings raising the risk of disease just as and especially for reports from northern gaza when members of the civil defense have recovered thousands of bodies moving them for a proper burial. a solemn, initially meals will not shut me out as far as after more than 20 days. here in northern cause of civil defense teams were able to recover. bodies of tens of people were under the rubble of the houses and on the streets and roads will see a show at a democrat hello. civil defense teams were not able to reach them due to the presence of the occupation forces in occupation vehicles in these areas. you know, she had the little unmet zillow neck i shot to assure her there. of course, there is still tens of others killed, that the civil defense teams have not been able to reach in many areas here in the
4:04 am
north of the strength of vitamin heavy. i just, i mean, a large number of these bodies have decomposed on the street, on the roads and under the rubble of homes. unable, most of these bodies are unidentified. now the teams are trying to bury them here in one of the spaces in this area as to how definitely what else do you have them to look to and then home the limited to should allow shut off the shore, dealt with to day. thank god we were able to recover terms of bodies and they will be buried now in the mass graves, news and donation hospitals with the help of our teams. of course, as you know, we are working without any technical capabilities or equipment. unfortunately that also. so we were not able to reach the occupation is still present on the outskirts of the area. and we had great difficulty in reaching the area. the roads and the district homes about a show of the streets are still not safe. it's not really on the east of targeting community pass or by as well as the civil defense teams.
4:05 am
the mileage on the show at the show, i do a mass grave for many dead who have not been identified. and there is still a large number of bodies on the streets on us to show you how your vehicle shamella has the members of israel's will cabinets, have to northern gaza, met soldiers taking part in the ground. invasion of the strip is really mitre video shows defense minister, your glance and emergency must have been against talking to soul just as told in out to him the son who to live for a scene occupied in east jerusalem. so what are we hearing then from is really officials as the military so continues and though will cabinet leaders view the c of the rhetoric from these really is for the last $79.00 days now has been the same on saturday. you had defense minister and you know, of,
4:06 am
gallant as well as war cabinet administer. benny gans touring. the northern part of gaza inmates had new one word. they say the military has achieved full operational control after taking over the area. additionally, you had the army chief of staff heard see how levy holding a military assessment in the southern part of the territory in hon. unit sconces, 2nd largest city. he said that while the ground defensive was, quote impressive, there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. and this was echoed by these really army spokesperson. daniel, how god eats, who said that the army is still working to maneuver in places they haven't yet. operated in but he said all of this comes with big loss is referring to 5 is really soldiers who were killed in the last 24 hours and $44.00 who were injured in the last day, raising the total of his really soldiers killed since the ground offensive began to a $145.00. it is worth noting that these really say they have what they call full
4:07 am
operational control of areas in northern and southern gaza. but while also acknowledging there is fierce fighting between high mass fighters in the area. and while they say they're in full control, we are seeing these exchanges of fire and also rockets being launched from areas these really military is currently operating in. but when it comes to the rhetoric as to how long the war is going to be, they say that it's going to continue until all of their military objectives are achieved. and in the occupied westbank, we know they've been raised by his body forces in to caught him. what more do we know by that? a several raids across the occupied at west bank rates in nablus and bethlehem just north of hebron and into a cut him in bates, oman, just north of hebron. there was one woman who was arrested locals are saying she
4:08 am
was a teacher and that she was assaulted by these really occupation forces. additionally, and so it was cut in the largest rate of the evening in the notice chums rescue jacob. it began with around 40 is really military vehicles entering the city and a bulldozer, even cutting off the water pipeline. that brings all the water to the refugee camp . there are fierce class clashes still ongoing levels also reporting is rarely snipers on the roofs of buildings. and images showed and improvised explosive device targeting. and it's really military vehicle. no rage like this across the occupied west bank are quite a familiar scene over the last 2 years. but they have intensified since october 7th, as these really military is hoping to cross down on palestinian armed resistance in the occupied west bank is looking at several 1000 arrests since october,
4:09 am
the 7th alone and around 303 palestinian is killed. and that number includes children. this has been the deadliest year on record for palestinians in the occupied westbank has i'm time to thank you. have the sun hoots in occupied east choose a us president. joe biden is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu have discuss cause a in a phone call the one house as it included when he called the objectives and phasing of the military campaign rather than jordan is live for us now in washington. so it was that what more did we know about this phone? call of the fight. hell says that this phone call took place earlier on saturday. the us president joe biden spoke with benjamin netanyahu. the is really prime minister and they discussed not just the ongoing of major military operations happening inside garza, but also uh they used the word phasing which is for uh the uh,
4:10 am
us administration. uh basically how much longer will these operations take place? and when will they be uh, be transitioned to more targeted, less invasive and destructive military operations. the white house statement also says that the us president brought up the matter of protecting civilians, including humanitarian aid workers from is really military attacks. and it also talked about the need to try to get the safe release of the remaining 100 or so hostages still being held by her moss and other arm groups inside the territory. the president spoke very briefly to reporters on his way to camp david. later on saturday, when he was out, she said he didn't want to discuss what was a confidential conversation. but he also did point out that he did not ask, nothing yahoo to approve of
4:11 am
a cease fire because both is real and the us bully that having a cease fire would allow him us to rearm and possibly watch new attacks on his rarely territory. rosalind golden life office in washington. thank you. of a palestinian generalist in gauze and not just covering the war but also living through it. at least a 100 policy in journalist had been killed in the conflict so far as it goes. the media office said the green milestone was reached with the depth of how much wady on saturday, more than 50 media premises offices have been completely old, partially destroyed by is really strikes that includes the office of the a, f p bureau in gaza. hundreds of palestinian generous and their families, including our colleagues. and i just see that have been forcibly displaced. they had to abandon their reporting equipment in offices in the north to live and reports on the difficult conditions. i missed frequent communication, blackouts,
4:12 am
journalist, working in areas of conflicts all protected on the international humanitarian law dislikes. if it is under the geneva convention. but israel has been accused of violating rules of law repeatedly. any of my colleagues funny bought the boat, spoke to tim dawson. he is the deputy general secretary at the international federation of jenn, let's see. so the killing of genesis in gaza is unprecedented. i don't think we've seen a desco of journalist of this concentration in a conflict that i can think of that we're about to 1000 dentist and gaza at the beginning of this conflict. while there are a slightly different counts of, of, precisely how many have died. i'm if between 7 and a half and 10 percent have died, that is an extraordinary high number. i mean, just to put up a little bit of proportion, i was looking up the depths of combat soldiers invoice over the last 100 years. and
4:13 am
if you look at the american marine corps in vietnam, for example, so these are the soldiers who are going to be facing the most intense fighting with the most highly trained who are going to be in the most the most dangerous situations. just 5 percent of them lost their lives. and during the course of the vietnam war and the gen listing, gaza, they have only cameras and microphones, and notebooks they continue to do during the work despite this. absolutely, mind blowing. that's tall indeed is israel 10 deliberately targeting policy and janice sagacity. some of them have related to me. they receive frightening calls from people proposing to be from the idea of warning them that they're going to be trying to get to the family is going to be talked to in, in the coming days of conflict. i think saying absolutely certain what's happened in this conflict is going to be very difficult so much of cause i like them blown up. so much of this has been conducted with a norm as bones that you know, the no real evidence trial. but i think looking at the figures i'm looking at well,
4:14 am
got some gen the believe, i think is very hard to say that as well doesn't have a case to answer here. there was an interesting article to him in the washington post a few days ago asking whether where rather is the outrage over israel scaling of journalist in guys that course individual lesson journalists have denounced this. but media institutions as a whole in the west have been relatively silent, don't use it on the desktop of gen. discovery is there as well on gaza. why? i think people's minds are to and then as it becomes impossible to ignore such a terribly, terribly hypo. so for all that you're right, i'd like to see major news platforms making more of a noise about this. i'd like to see people joining our to demand that the international criminal court investigates this. i think people's minds are turning a head and hold that he sent us this report from a palestinian jim. this home in nina cited a cd camping central garza and
4:15 am
a wanting to of use. this report contains some disturbing scenes i'm currently handing on the rubble of the house of the journalist. how much in the mister rad refugee count the scene is horrific. here are bodies that are still trapped under the rubber a keys. 20 palestinians have been killed in 4 are still under the rubble, including children. and this house was had at least 18 palestinians that were internally displaced and see this 3 story building as a refuge after they were called to evacuate from the another. in parts of the gaza strip. let's walk. people are trying to remove their bodies from under the rebels where they are trapped or under here,
4:16 am
sorry for the image. it's very hard and unsolved. but unfortunately these people do not have any equipment. 3rd, thinking with their own bare hands trying to remove these bodies that are trapped under durable, according to the family, there are activities for stairs dropped under the robot and they have been trying to help them and to remove them. since yesterday, as you see, as they're trying to remove them from under the above, the ceiling. besides, the above us is partially damaged. here people were looking for winter clothes and for blankets. they were trying to take the remains of what's left of this house, the,
4:17 am
the people who live here were taking their clothes their blankets because the weather is very winter and their homeless learn right now. this is the sees that we have been witnessing since the 1st day of the war on cause and that the air strikes continue every single day, people in this area and surrounding this area. it doesn't matter because the and in the state off in other areas in the gaza strip, have been called to evacuate. what people are telling us that they don't have any place to evacuate, and there is no place safe. this is in the city i 0. we say it out there for g, come cause a pumps time. as i said, i had done as a 0, a wrong response to accusations it's involved in attacks on commercial ships carried out by humans who these in the red sea and another use a festival of light in south korea. organizers say they aim to lift the darkness bosky,
4:18 am
the . the weather brought to you by visit castle high low that we could see some festive fury across parts of north america over the christmas period. and that's thanks to 2 storm systems. it is set to join together, bringing a bit of a potent system across the central parts of the us and canada, and causing disruption possibly to travel arrangements. so heavy rain pouring into the gulf of mexico to those southern states could bring some flooding to places like texas and such as old way up bringing wintery conditions to the midwest and all the way through to eastern parts of canada over the next few days. now ahead of that, we've got high pressure dominating across the east coast of the us to find the conditions . the cloudy facilities like new york, we are going to see that when,
4:19 am
when the weather, however, push its way further east on the west was looking clear on sunday, but have a look at that. we've got a system pulling into western parts of canada. it's gonna bring significant snow full here and also to alaska. so a chance of a white christmas day. but for the south of that clear skies for our friends in seattle. well, not really much of a chance, a white christmas for you, but doesn't it the rain rain on your festive parade will be picking up the temperature to 10 degrees celsius. temperatures are pretty standard through the car, being with lots of sunshine the weather brought to you by visit cut, some thought provoking ons, us, but the patient doesn't have time to wait for the extremely unfortunate script. there are no quick wins and eventually some odd hitting interviews. do you feel like america is less than days of these days? or is it just a different full? i think that democracy is a process basically, entities do you feel that the fraction is already starting the g 7 in the us on one
4:20 am
side, china and the brakes on the other? i think there is a huge piece of that to happen to the story on told to how does era the the log in. you're watching, i just need a reminder, lots of stories. this is ready for says have killed more than 200 pounds feeds in gaza. in the past 24 hours and strikes, shelling and me, and what age and your body a refugee camps have killed thousands of people including children, gaza civil defense teams have buried many on identified and decomposed bodies of palestinians killed in guns somewhat less unattended for 20 days in the rubble and
4:21 am
sweeps out of seeing fights, as i've tried to prevent, is raining military convoy from entering the occupied westbank city of cad in the convoy some faulty vehicles included both those as that we used to destroy roads, an infrastructure, a bronze foreign minister has rejected us accusations it helped humans who with these attacks vessels on the red sea, washington says to iran is providing drones, missiles and tactical intelligence us as leading a naval coalition in response. and the u. k says it is sending additional warships to the region in k government, settle high, for example, trade off to him and has officially declared its position. it's official spokesman repeats their actions daily. the means moving the red sea is completely in many move and supportive garza and this american accusation about involvement is a baseless accusation against the islamic republic. regarding the issue of the
4:22 am
coalition of the red sea, i think the americans before trying to create a coalition that will not help the situation. um it should stop genocide or crimes and human siege and forced migration of gods of residents to areas in egypt and jordan in the future as in the dreams of this faith. and his real reason who the attacks have mostly targeted ships near the bed, remained up straight to a narrow sea passage between human and you booty that connects the indian ocean and the red sea. russell said, has more forgive booty with several countries, including the us, have military bases, or one has not to officially respond to the accusation coming from the us. here. however, previously separately, rand new officials, including the for the minister have said that they have nothing to do with the tax you directly. i guess the ships passing through the the through the state. but you white house, national security spoke person have said that they have no reason to believe that iran is trying to dissuade hostings from the reckless behaviors. and they said that
4:23 am
they believe iran is deeply involved in planning these attacks. later we have seen some articles from the, the us media say that one is for why do real time intelligence weapon to include in the drawings and besides, to who sees that have been use a gas the ships in the red sea. and they said, that's what these do not have the rate of technology, and we don't run an assistance that new size will just who are seeing that they have the will be on the packages, facilities over the years of regression, a gas them. so there are serious allegation, so for serious acquisitions, but some very little substantial evidence to, to back up these acquisitions. and do us say say that they're trying to this to see the war in gaza from the attacks in the right. so yeah, that's it. that's actually the red sea is an international crisis, and that's why this trying to build up. i mean, some national coalition here to handle these crisis. but so far that has been very
4:24 am
little commitment from the countries to these international enabled. a naval question here falls easily as the pain they have rejected to officially joined this international cooperation. and several, all the regional companies even do not want to be named publicly due to the point to go assess services. we can see that yes, it is really trying hard to form an international law. so for you reality that has been very little progress. this incentive of to 0 with a bethlehem is reviewed by christians as the best place of jesus christ. this time of year, the town is usually packed with thousands of foreign tours, but the war on garza means most all staying away. need abraham reports from an activity scene which represents what's happening at the moment. it doesn't look anything like christmas here in bethlehem with palestinians and christians around the world believe that jesus has been born more than 2000 years ago instead of the
4:25 am
big christmas tree with the lights as well as the christmas carol, we're seeing an m. c, manger square here in bethlehem, and instead of the tree, there is this artwork that has seen the rearrangement of the traditional christmas grow to, to resemble the pain and the suffering of palestinians in the b. c. school district . virgin mary holding baby jesus in a way that resembles the mothers in gauze the holding their babies. after being bombarded the 3 wise men who have been bringing and the traditional christmas story gifts through the holy comedy are holding whites coffins. you know, this scene reminds palestinians, a lot of the images that have they have been seeing in goes up. it doesn't look a lot like christmas. i. let's hear more about that from beth lens may or have not
4:26 am
had any of who's joining us today. can you tell us how you and the community here in bethlehem are feeling in this day? i are actually in holidays, bethlehem in morning. we've the we feel so sad we are as an essential part of the scene and community. so we council the celebrations and sensitivities this year and christmas season. and we put this model as you will see, to reflect the reality. it's what's happening and goes a step that is aggression against our people. there is the genocide and weekends this time. there is ethnic cleansing, and we are a jet the, because this isn't a humidity the, the is that i, even if you fission via lifting the international law by lifting the human rights. and from here, from beth line, we are sending a message to the international community and to come here to stand with the police
4:27 am
to get in cause and to force as our head to stop this aggression against our people . usually all eyes turn to bethlehem during this time during christmas. do you think people are looking to bethlehem or looking at the suffering of palestinian nowadays? i believe i left a message. we'll receive an all over the world. that's why we decided to have a clear message from bethlehem to the hardware. and again, we are going to the international community from bethlehem and this message to step this aggression again out again. so what are people? thank you so much and you know, as you can see here in bethlehem, it's empty. it's a city that has long depended on tourism as its main income. but instead of christmas instead of celebrations, there is a lot of grief. there's a lot of sore and there's a lot of pain. is that, but he didn't just eat on bethlehem the occupied to us bank
4:28 am
