[000:00:00;00] so the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, i'm elizabeth swan, i'm, and this is the news our life from dog hawk coming out for the next 16 minutes. israel bombard, instead of going on central, you guys are off to ordering people to move this from the north das. as media offices, 28 people have been killed, an economic hub,

destroyed shops and offices in ruins on a central street in gauze. especially those really palm and as this is the one, gaza is exactly a heavy prize as a military death, toll nouns and all the news, anger and frustration, and the democratic republic of congo as the opposition denounces the general election as a ship. it is 15 gmc, that's 5 pm and the gaza strip, or at least a 166 people have been killed by his rarely attacks in the past 24 hours. that is wally military is being ordering people in northern gaza to flee southwards to the neighborhood of the beloved or the nice missiles have struck these evacuation zones . the government media office and gaza says at least 28 people have been killed in that,

out by law. in the past 2 days. case that he's quiz are in ruins. this is the find me back street market. and in god's associate, it was an intersection of calmness, culture, and community for more than half a century and tense is really showing has reduced a or to a level as palestinian groups count, as well as the ground invasion from minister benjamin netanyahu. it says the was exacting a heavy price on the tree. that is where the army says 14 of its soldiers have been confirmed, killed since friday. that's cross match wall correspondence. static of was him. he's joining us live from that alpha in southern gaza and thought it was the laser situation best option would bid on blah of the yes. elizabeth attacks and compartments of the causes for during the last couple of hours did not stop in separate areas in gaza strip starting off from the middle areas of the territory, which is now cause intent,

which i can send it to be the main focus for the east, very minute treat as the are trying to force residents differently to the southern part of gauze this trip. now the use without tax have been directed towards the no other impossible, great refuge account were dozens of palestinians have to get killed in this area. the also earlier today had attacked the interns of a great for a few to come along slowly to the number of residential buildings where people started to practically flee. and to gather the select your roads, getting themselves ready to move to the south, which is origin out of a very densely populated treyjen. now the northern parts of the gauze district as being a sense of what it is very military operations as well, where the is when the forces had intensify. only the ministry ultimately shooting both a bay tunnel in town and in the southern part of the church refund. units had been the main focus. confrontations on the ground continues, and according to the latest reports from the, the 3 pounds,

please have your full to killed off to destruction over residential buildings and find you a city and thought it has been 2 days since that you had passed a resolution courting from a to enter guys, or have we seen any difference in the amount that's available to people there? what are you seeing in the quote um, it's basically uh, the situation right now the ground and the territory in terms of the 8 panel city is a inside appreciating this step and resolution made by the u. n. i in terms of the expands and then increasing the number of the size of humanitarian aid. so now this resolution had not been translated on the ground to practically as the, the amount of 8 that is getting into the, into the goals district. is it still very limited, the witness to the change of the numbers of humanitarian folks who are talking about the state around up from 100 to 150 feet?

2 is the entering into the church here which we consider to be barely enough for the residents as $2300000.00 pounds in sewing, those are. 8 building on these h to survive are receiving these the united nation distribution centers and the only so the, so you barely get your rates and you didn't even the turing conditions for these a certainly could be only barely enough for one new big data to tell us these are waiting for more to move developments in terms of the numbers will be dealt with into the goals district as long as they can be able to survive into with the off to match of the is really relentless plumbing, awkward because of which completely destroyed everything product, thank you very much for that. that is product of o, as in the nation situation in gaza and agencies of warning, the risk of disease is growing and gauze and because of the bodies of decomposing in the streets or under rubble. i'll just see it as honest. i'll shut

a report from the north where members of the civil defense recover and dozens and bodies to bury them properly. as the solemn, initially meals for nothing shut me out as far as after more than 20 days. here in northern cause of civil defense teams are able to recover bodies of tens of people who are under the rubble of the houses and on the streets and roads will see a show at a limb to 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. so you had the model of unmet zillow. neck i shot i showed the 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 north of the strength of vitamin heavy i just sent me 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 on one of the 11 and to should allow shut off the shore dealt with to day. thank god we were able to to cover the terms of bodies and they will be buried now in a mass. craven is an indian nation hospital 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. busy the streets are still not safe, it's not really all me is still targeting a mini pass or by as well as the civil defense teams. while as you 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, especially if i use the at all. sure ma'am, has as well as prime minister benjamin netanyahu has offered his condolences to the

families of israelis killed in the war and gaza. but he says, the country will fight until the end. that's bringing our correspondent, the smiths. he's joining his life on kind of even tell us what prominence smith and young has been saying that benjamin netanyahu was talking after he died, a long phone conversation with the us present, joe biden on saturday night. and after that conversation, both policies issued statements. but both the statements differing in tone and detail from the whites house bite, and they said how they belong tool with benjamin netanyahu. about objectives, i'm phasing of the military operation. it says as well as the critical need to protect civilians this because we know that we understand that the us has been trying to push israel to move to a less intense phase of the will. where is involved in more precise targeting of thomas positions and figures robin, this is indiscriminate bobbing his button once cool that,

that he's going on at the moment, but from a benjamin netanyahu, whose office of much more simple, straightforward sentence, he said the account was much more briefing nothing, you know said we will fight as an absolute victory, however long but takes a little bit more information though, from netanyahu, when he spoke ahead of sundays cabinet meet high people. so means we have seen falls publications claiming that the us preventive and he's preventing us from operational operations in the region. that is not true. israel is a sovereign state, our decisions and the war are based on our operational considerations. and i will not elaborate on that. they're not dictated by external pressures, the world and then, and thought about intern impressions. how is the news of that large number of his very someone has been killed recently being received there? is it pushing any pressure on the government as well? i mean, nothing. yeah. has also said that the gauze of wars, exactly. he says

a very heavy price. this is because of the number of the military casualties has been this weekend. 14 soldiers killed over the weekend. up means 486. been because of his rails military now kill since october. the 2nd, the military destiny is relative, a sensitive subject because most 18 year olds in israel a drafted into military service. so the public is acutely aware of it. it has to be said that sort of last month, the military homeless in israel was saying that actually they think that well, many less military casualties in the gospel. and then the might have been estimated . it's in the, it's in the lower level, but nevertheless, of course i for every family, this is a, you know, very devastating news. and it also comes as that seems to be an increase in military activity and got a suddenly on the ground. we know the is riley's drafting and more troops to brigade that is concentrating efforts on fighting how much tumbles in the south of

gauze of us in the con you, in this area. all right, so, and, and thank you very much for that. that's been dismissed with the laces, live and televisions. and leading his way. the newspaper has called for a dress, the change of direction in the roll. and editorial and horace says enough with a mass coming in gaza. the distinction must be made between killing him off terrorist and homage citizens. the facts of their $129.00 kidnapped israelis detained them, must be taken into account. it goes on to say that israel must push an initiative to return them and be prepared to pay a heavy price with a cease fire. and the liberation of palestine in prison is good in levy is a columnist at horace. you told, i'll just say, oh, he's surprised how limited the pressure has been you know, nothing yahoo! until now, as we are, after a year after breakfast against that, then you know, i mean those times it was much,

much bigger and stronger and more vocal and moist lynch. and there is a certain pressure consuming. there's only one issue. releasing the hostages or the wrist is attached. i mean obviously the sacrifice of god that doesn't interest anybody, it is red. but even those things, soldiers, which is so horrible for every family and every, every individual is not a leverage right now for a growing process. not yet. it protects going, but there's not yet from the beginning. i sold it 1st. the phone gives when it has to make a choice, is to have it's priorities. i have the crushing hum us with me and what that means or releasing the hostages. you know they have them both and is, were misled. the deeper the government, the army as a bonus are going and end to end, but that's not the case. we are reaching a warranty, which it's very clear that is what he's been bearings now. continuing the war over

releasing the hostages. and this must be said that it's a very good choice as well. joining us now, the studio is mojdeh. it's a way to use director of the goals studies send a at called a university. good to see if there's a way. so power is, is cooling for what they say as a change of direction, and the will granted it's read is on the average is right. and do you think that there was, does that is really political, military establishments have a unified position when it comes to the direction that the was going in on the end? again, it doesn't seem that as i mean in the last a few days, we have had many of interviews updates on a newspaper yet and is writing this paper and tossed it into english. and all of them indicate that there is a huge division within that. whereas i should go the 1st, the 1st, the 1st issue is done is that you both with physically weak and her mouse or older,

or in thomason does that. and, and for you the cup this. now most of the use say you kind of is already kind of to both come up, well even do one can as well and eliminate come off. that's a limited time as i cannot get into the life of the carpet. because so far, every time they attract that, as that, they lost many of those cars until the 24 hours ago. they are now as of 5 of those captains where to go. so basically the argument, the now the whole government kind of drew both. so they have to choose which one can help is right off, basically it using the marginalization as relation of in the national and community, the using the, the, the level of pressure on it. because of all of these vision by human rights, and also a reducing the price on it because of all of this,

this respect to the human life and does so what is the best solution? that's what they ask. do you think is real k as about what you're saying is the marginalized ation on the international community. when it's gracious allied, the united states is very much standing by them or not. it will have impact because the world is changing, and it knows very well that the survival is connect is by connecting itself to the work, the more isolated the lesson. so it'd be secure and it's month enough to divide on the united states. yes, so the data and best of the best buy in germany says we have another strong ally is germany. so they are, they are awarded, for example, a belgium position of the financial position of spain, a position for the unhappy of german. and they're not in the states, so they know the weight of support internationally. but as a, the economy mclee politically and militarily. and that is a huge, i mean, a benefit announcement is kind of to continue this war without the support of its allies, including the united states, just the united states,

pushing any more pressure on israel. and you think, why is prime minister benjamin netanyahu coming out with the statement denying reports that president biden is asking him to curtail the operations and gaza is bite and asking him to do that. you know, the dominican came when the, when the success of the defense visit is what i last week he came talking about the said, the state of the war. and that is the madison from washington. now that matter to a, we were not aware of exactly what does it mean now we stop and that it's time the it means that is what it should stop. the strike is that it should look into a political solution order or take into consideration any need initiative for the, for the tools. and also they should think seriously about what the in game of this for the, for the government itself. now we stop understanding why, what the 3 states that the state means. i think there is a huge debate now maybe behind the closing don't apply something that is right that

you know is i should go to the truth as, as soon as possible. well, at least as a way to venture was always thinking and honest instead as much as a way of kind of a university, a feathered l. nachos, an employee of the united nations and gaza. he says his brother was executed, buys very someone just when they rated their home in giovanni a, in northern, gaza. and i'm with you on that. that's a lot of how much new and i am a un stuff. unfortunately, they don't have messy on the un stuff in a low and international organization stuff. i live in this apartment with my family . the sniper went down to tons came to this area. i told him and he that the only civilians in this building. but they showed us, my son, my niece, and the 3rd one. i kept telling them we need to be treated like no wait. they continued their shooting. they broke the gates and they brought us down. they told us to take a coats off and then told us to come to this area. i told them there was some good

people here, but they didn't care. they asked me if i'm with you and stuff. i told them, yes, they took me with the money to get to me 4 times. they accuse me of being a member of how much and i am not to be. and they asked me where i was on october 7th, and i said i was at home preparing myself to go to my school. they left the children pleading for more than an hour. they told me that the resistance light that's used to shot from our house. and of course, that is not true. i told it to my brother in front of my mother with them. they shot him from under his chain hitting his entire calls while they didn't allow me to say good bye to my dead brother. we're good. they kept asking me if i'm a homeless man, but i told them no, i'm not a mess. should i bring the u. n. a because the you and stuff have not protection of them, but these really forces bond to my house. why did they do that? i'm not a system fight talk. you have to find that he,

they gave us up papers. i see we ok that we didn't do anything wrong. we will be mediated. my brother was killed my children wounded for no reason. what's our fault? what's the fault of disobedience? some of the, one of the leading presidential candidates in democratic republic of congo as, as a general election held on wednesday should be unknown. most could somebody alleged mass of fold and the poll other all physician candidates have is, are code for protests next week. delays doing wednesdays election led to an extension of losing some of the se compromises the credibility of the valid results . so expected next week. let's bring in a correspondent, catherine, so she's joining his life on the capital. can shasta propose that version is still underway in some folding stations in north kiwi province. catherine?

yes. um that is going on in lock. you will providence and um it tory pro vincent. what we're hearing is that to that is where the election materials did not get to that distant destination is a very remote area. the role network is not too good. so the material has to be flown in and even after being flown in a pool to has to be used to, to support this material to the different appalling stage shows. and this is what we've been talking about to the last couple of days. these logistical challenges, this lot of challenges that have forced that for the electoral commission to extend voting by 2 days. but that again is problematic with hard from oppositional lead us who are saying that that by itself is unconstitutional. that saying that they will not accept any re, uh,

election results. uh that will not involve re run. and on that note, uh, we have also been phone lines uh, some of the military developments that we have seen a huge military deployment, particularly in the womb by sheets in the south is this is a strong hold all moist cartoon be one of the presidential candidates he said, she said to be one of the most strongest and challenged of president of security. it is going to be very interesting to see how things go on going forward for what catherine and how people are feeling about how the vote has gone so far with the opposition leaders quoting for a protest next week. do we think that that will be supported? why depends on who you talk to some people on the same, please keep the electronic commission a chance to do it still by then the all those who are saying that, well,

the selection is a strong and that has to be fresh of fresh election because the credit ability of the election has been put to question we have gone around to different charges this sunday and people are saying that they're hoping for a peaceful outcome. but they also blame the laptop commission as a government for not doing their job or not preparing wells. and they say that they are afraid that any thing that comes out of it and he's the election is disputed, it's going to be very problematic. indeed. well, i'd catherine, thank you very much for that. that is catherine. so over the nation as live in contrast to as your crime says, it's a defense of shut down 14 drones, russian drones or the south of the country caves. as they were launched from the eastern coast of the sea of, as of and russia, no casualties were reported quite instead of down 24 russian joins on friday,

most were heading for the cranium capital. what else did patrick view it as a defense and security analyst at the university of boss and a form, and they show analyst. he says, decry needs to plan for the next few years to key fob, the fight against russia. i think really what we're saying is it an attempt by russia to. ready inflict as much time as does it come on, you've probably been infrastructure over the winter months to increase pressure on as an sky of data that the wider population, whether they're actually that effective, given the amount of air defense going in. we've had recently numerous companies including norway, give utah farms to you. right. uh, it doesn't seem so because then the see the number of either missiles or drones getting shots and is incredibly high. this employee 34 jazz, which seemed to the most doesn't work by uh,

a new patriot system. and that's because because the ukrainians have more systems coming in and they can start to move the night towards the phone lines. and then in this case, catch the russians off guard cuz they weren't expecting us so far. really it's, it's not much changed. the russians are trying to overwhelm their defense. they using cheaper drones to do. there's a cost balance thing there, which is to be taken into account, but so far they haven't been effective i think is there's some reasonable questions about what is the long term strategy here at the training and military of said they need, you know, 500000 ross, for 500 has more, you probably needs to be mobilized. i don't think that would be exceeded to by that lensky. but, uh, give them wherever we are. there may need to be some re thinking about what is the actual likelihood of ukraine being able to take back all of his territory, for example, against a larger uh, larger entity in which is so potentially there you need to resort plan the strategy

h is probably 2026 and not to be resort as well. you great may have to go on the defensive in 2024 to actually train. i'd be ready to do something in 2025. but we need to get those. those ducks in a row that were so it's now 3 weeks since jailed russian opposition. the, the next scene of only was last seen as family members say they haven't had contact with him since december 6th. his quote hearings have been postponed until january, the vom, they had been removed from the prison, the a must go to an undisclosed location for the court food. and earlier this year, he gets $7.19 your sentence on challenges of extremism and explosion at a nicole processing factory. and indonesia is reported to have killed at least 12 people. an injured 39. that happened at the motor wally industrial park in central . so the ways the problems early on sunday, the find was eventually extinguished up to several oxygen tags, exploded the indonesian island as a hub for the production of nickel, houston,

electrical vessel batteries and for making stainless to reco numbers of my buttons have crossed into the united states along the southern board of this year, maybe 2 and a half 1000000 people have reported to have made their way into north america. and in 2023, maybe 10000 crossed in a single day of the discussions between mexico and the us migrants on the board of the same mexico has started imposing how she meshes on those, trying to make the journey image and come the reports both the trumpeting thousands of phenomena to these migrants across the rig runs between mexico and the united states. so i'm say the hardest pulse of the journey was through mexico. the plaza. they take our money, they hits women and children. they don't care about anything. mexican police invitations. these are chasing us. they don't care if they crush against us or for training on us over. they are causing accidents. a mexican security forces are imposing tulsa measures to, to,

and whole back record numbers of migrants attempting the crossing. the mexican authorities, police immigration officers, and um, what the judge is up to $120.00 to let us pass. what happens in the mexican authorities? i'm mistreating the migrants. how is that too many duty and these people being taken to self and mexico? you, biplane is part of a repub creation plan. extra measures have begun. often, mexican president, hundreds, manuel lopez, alberto and us president joe biden met to discuss cutting numbers of migrants for the buddha. yes, and this company's deal. it got saturated and became a problem. and they had to hold transport and shut down the boat to feel better, ready solving it. the agreement is to keep working together. we have a proposal to boost our plans. many of those attempting to cross the border, a thing, finance property and other crises in that harm nations. but with the point of an instruction on mexico,

i to restrict the numbers making that trip is likely to get even harder image and can the outer 0 still ahead on our 0 flashing along the israel 11 on board, a escalating as fast as or other tags what it says it has fallen ministry saw the hello there for south america. there are 2 areas of concern with watching where there is a clutch of storms pushing across the north of brazil, bringing some very heavy rain into southern parts of columbia. and further across into peru, an equitable we could see some flooding from those storms. we got another developing set of storms pushing that way across the north of origin, tina, across the uruguay into pyro glass, bringing some very heavy rain here. and those are likely to drop temperatures, but across that central bad was to go to an area of high pressure sandwich,

didn't. and it's pushing temperatures up for bolivia and eastern areas of brazil for the down in the south. what it continues to says all across parts of it should have santiago coming up to 36 degrees celsius to for a festive christmas day. and that's not the case temperature wise, of course pots with central america and the caribbean, things, we don't lot cooler for cuba as well as the bahamas. and we're going to see some wet weather starting to push its way east tanks to this area of low pressure. taking a lot of the energy away from mexico to find dry settled whether to be found here. but there is that what? so whether pushing its way further east, as that area of low pressure takes the storms to florida and cuba by christmas day . the unique perspective of africans are willing to change the streets because of the sense of urgency that we have. if we don't know more and more lots of voices,

you don't often hear trouble. nations do stand with paula spine. it's the same struggle share of displacement, connect with our community and tapped into conversations you find elsewhere. you see where the political establishment is in terms of justifying genocide, brand new episodes of the stream on which is the, are the, [000:00:00;00]

the, [000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the, you watching outlanders here of a man is the for on and don't have a mind to of on top stories. the sound of a nice is writing. this all strikes instead of actuation songs instead of a lot and central gaza at least 28 people have been killed there in the past 2 days . more than 20400000 in have now been coverage since the blonde gaza began. and only the last 24 hours, at least a 166 people have been killed by as well continued s tried shutting. the is where

the army says at least 14 soldiers have been killed and flashing and gauze all over the weekend on saturday as well something one of the west 80 losses since the start of the complex 18. someone just died out of the response of gauze. the civil defense spokesman one boss. so he says this team has witnessed disturbing incidents of palestinians being run over by his rarity all me back holes in the thought of how what area god lives in the i'm in the process of being going strikes are affecting various points of gaza with particular intensity observed when specific regions literally in the middle of the neighborhoods of all to find the dodge. it's a civil defense. teams are operating in locations vacated by these really all may have been counted distressing scenes left behind. but the occupation forces, particularly concerning them off, is left on the ground with a significant number of these monitors would be composed to being left on the attendant for an extended periods where we did. but we could, their relatives were able to bury the money. we also witness distressing instances

of cope's is being run over by is really voters in the military vehicles on a high number of boxes in the area post challenges for our teams. preventing access to certain sounds like to allow you to the presence of these really military vehicles in those areas. one is real impressed as on with a phone on gaza. it forces also engaged on the northern border with 11 on the army says it's targeting has been limited recently. it's off to several shows the fighters really troops. it's also announced the closure of several main roads leading to is ready for the town. so for on this would you invite ali, how sion is long for us and time and southern 11 on an alley. how long will candace limited escalation by both sides continue without provoking why the conflict as well in the past we used to say, this is the parts of the rules of engagement. it seems now that the rules of engagement are very news, however, that the chat is between the 2 sides. that is the balance of the set, and this is on one side all of us. the other issue is that in the past, this was false. i need to twice with the why and does

a has the law saying this is in support to the people off of amazon and the palestinians. however, it seems now there is a separate past with as well. but the thing got objective, which is pushing says, well, i know the 30 kilometers from the border. and this is what this really is. i'll walk it on right. know, mainly sagas. he says with laws, infrastructure all around the border from the east and sector to the west and sector of the same time has the law. so a saga thing is relas abilities to gather information, whether it's company cation, whether it's also kind of address, all types of visa a, but offices are being hit by his beloved besides the daily skirmishes. for example, today has a lot more than 4 is ready positions. the last last i will go off. there are 2 rockets to uh, i'm sorry, i missed the guy that uh,

besides that hit the supplemental somebody gives us to the east. and now we don't know if there's a casual, however, there's rarely as well. so during the day, i think several of any sounds around the board. and so the situation is just like maybe a tens it off to say it's a war zone. and this war zone is, as i said, getting independent from the bigger one and goes however, how much would this continue? this is the big question. well, it has beloved and be pushed through. i think you to meet those away from the border. this is actually the main consent regard regarding these res lights for high school. last it's may be a no question, but. busy the moment they're not giving any kind of indications that they are going to dr. such a such a request or on a thank you very much for that. that is on the hush. and joining us live from time and southern 11 on in the united states as its shut down full drones heading towards one of its warships and the red sea. the west, as they were launched from hope they controlled areas of again and,

and target had an american destroyer. they also say the who these 5 to and to ship ballistic missiles into the sea around foreign minister has rejected us accusations . but it helped governments with these attack vessels in the red sea. washington says pet on is providing drones, missiles and tactical intelligence seen k government settle. huffman was able to trade on him and his officially declared his position. it's official spokesman repeats their actions daily demons moving the red sea is completely yeah. many move in support of gaza and this american accusation about involvement is a baseless accusation against the islamic republic. regarding the issue of the coalition of the red sea. i think the americans before trying to create a coalition that will not help the situation should stop genocide or crimes and human siege and force migration of gaza residence to areas in egypt and jordan in the future. as in the dreams of this fake and his real resume, dependent on says more than 20 countries have agreed to participate and the us led coalition in the red seat to stop putting attacks. the red sea is one of the

world's most important shipping boots for oil and gas between asia and europe in the south, and now about a month of strays between africa. and the radian financial that connects the red sea with a gulf of 8 and 12 percent of the world trade and 10 percent of global or carried by ships goes through the strays. this west canal connects the red sea with the mediterranean sea. that is the shortest shipping route between europe and asia. 15 percent of the walls now time traffic passes through the swift canal since november . the hope these have targeted vessels nearby. the forcing may just shipping and oil companies to suspend operations through the red sea, reverse and vessels will have to make a longer journey all the way down the east coast of africa via the southern tip of the continent. what david diverse is a professor at the national defense university and full of pentagon director of

arabian potential affairs. and he's joining us on scott from washington dc. very good to have you with us on al jazeera. we'll start with the us, the thing that has jumped down for drones launched by the who these that were headed to was one of its warships out to us and other members of this newly formed mount time for us. are they going to be facing cookies and the red sea? now, how are you and is this new front? is what's not a new front. i mean, we've seen for since, since the october 7th, it's actually on the subsequent warm data. we seen drones and missiles shot down by us ships by saudi land forces fires early land forces by a british ship and by a french ship. so that there's kind of a multi national effort against the, you know, this attempt to disrupt civilian maritime traffic. the only difference is now there's a formal us lead uh, escort coalition that will allow ships to move under military protection. and

there's an alternate french leg, one that will probably do the same thing. so, but how it's not really a new thing. yeah. how multi national as the us led now it's on task force, spain, italy, and from have pulled out of it. but us as allies, saudi arabia, egypt, in the united arab emirates on joining us. what does that mean for his credibility in the region? well, that's what sharepoint but, um i, i, you know, most of my experiences in the army in, in the army. if you're going to operate in an area, you have to have unified command. otherwise you have people shooting each other, etc. operations are basically uh uh, ship to ship. and so you don't really have to have formal commands to escort ships . i think that if you actually track the ship's rather than looking at who's in the coalition, you'll see that these countries are all performing the same mission and they're able to do it relatively seamlessly. so politically, perhaps that's not as effective as the bottom administration though for but in

terms of actual events on the ground, it, it doesn't really make that much of a difference. if you track the ships, you'll see everybody's doing the same thing and that's trying to insure maritime traffic flows in spite of who's the disruption. so you don't think then that this new us form to task force is going to make the situation in the red sea any more dangerous. i know it's going to make it better. i mean, right now what you have are ships performing different mission. so one of the ships that shot down a lot of the who, the drones and missiles is actually of us estimation is actually assigned to counter piracy in the gulf of a, by having an organized system of escorts. commercial carriers will be able to trans, at the suez canal, link up with the coalition, and then sale through the valuable manda of under the protection, listened to rush. we've had a number, i think 12 of some of the world's biggest shipping companies are no longer taking

this roof versus oil giants versus petroleum. also isn't they made that decision before the us form this task force and since it's being formed, none of them have started using the roof again. yeah, that's right. so, you know, capital is, is cowardly. and i think that, you know, it makes sense to avoid an area where there's a threat to see what happens and see how it takes full. so i would expect it to take, you know, some time before procedures are established before there's a level of confidence. i mean, bear in mind, these are on our commercial ships that are being attacked with weapons of war in time of peace. that is a work, right? and they're, they're of nations. they're flagged and crude, and owned by nations that have no connection with the conflict at all. so it's going to take a while to figure out what the capabilities are. so these guys weren't risk, but the big loser here is each of which is going to lose 30 percent of its hard currency assets from suicide can all trans. yeah, and this is close. yeah. and yet,

egypt is not just joining the task force and the hope these are saying that they are in the targeting vessels that are in any way linked to israel. what do you make of the pentagon saying that this japanese owned chemical tanka, which was struck off in the east coast on saturday, was targeted by a drawn fide from iran. that is a huge accusation. discounted is it, it's, it's serious accusation. i mean, all of the drones and missiles fired by the duties have a randy and origin. so in the, in the past, iran has tried to operate through its proxy such as so that these route in order to basically deflect a direct attack upon them. um, but the, the indian crust is reporting that at least to a rainy and ships were close proximity. one of them the staff is, is a known or rainy. and intelligence asked that it was actually in the red sea for a number of years. and it was only 47 miles away from the targeted ship, uranian drones,

certainly have the range to attack the ship from there and with on site guidance provided by the staff is and possibly by the other radiant shifting arrows. it is quite possible that they did this and it would certainly be in keeping with your m o. if ron did attack it, i think they figured that because of the distance from iran, it would be an on a tribute or full attack. so and, and that also keeps in with their pass practice. for example, in the mind ships officer gerra about 5 years ago. all right, well, we haven't heard from yvonne, but it will be interesting to say what they have to say to that pentagon accusation . that is david diverse joining us live from washington dc. great to have you with us. thank you. thank you. palestinian

christians and they occupied west bank of held the parade and the city of bethlehem to mock the birth of jesus christ on christmas eve. but celebrations a sub do this, the following more than 2 months of israel's one gaza with summer morning cooling for the end of all of us have been seeking comfort in the christian message of hope . we since the beginning of the one gaza several question facilities and individuals have come under attack from is very forces. these are the names of all the christian palestinians have been killed in those attacks since the beginning of the conflict. on october 17th, some displaced christians were killed in the strike on the on the lead baptist hospital complex. 2 days later, one of the oldest christian establishments and gaza, that's the greek orthodox church, was bombed. in another attack on this compound, on october 20th, at least 17 christians were code including 10 from one family,

7 more injured. then on october 15th, an elderly man was shot and killed wise where the forces, outside gauze is only catholic church. and this month alone, 3 more attacks have been carried out, including the ones that just force the major greek orthodox church called saint parfitt. port fibrous the number of palestinian christians across the palestinian territories is dropping rapidly with many blaming the stress of the israeli occupation. for leaving the lands, or con, has moved from bethlehem to some of the world's oldest christian communities can be found here in the occupied westbank. and also in israel and garza. many of them can trace the heritage back 2000 years to the bus of christianity and even the nickname of the living stones. there are 6 main to norman ations hostile,

3 close adults. the search roman catholic others include narrow knights, lutherans, august 10th, and a medium box. the number of pulsing and christians is dwindling. here in the occupied westbank at any stores from the around 50000. on the other side of the is ready will be around a $130000.00 with is ready citizenship, i think does a does less than the 1000 plus if we go back to publish sign before 1948 palestinian christians made up around 8 percent of the population many were driven out during the next us and the state of israel was created and palestinians were violently forced out by zion as goings off to 1948, the christian population was down to about 4 percent, but now they make up less the 1.5 percent of the entire population of palestine right now. uh, i cannot go to jefferson. no one from both of them can can go to jerusalem go. this

is only 5 miles away for the church. leadership located you to send him a of 43 percent of the only 2 to of jerusalem. it belongs to churches. this is where you have the church of the septic or this is where you have the via the logos. uh, this is where you have the mount of olives. i mean, uh and, and for christians not to be able to go there on or use that for example, is it right? it makes it impossible. they give them it's only to $1000.00 to pedestrians the while. at the same day they gave a 15000 to jewish settlers as possible. he tells me christians living in the occupation suffer from the same restrictions as all the palestinians, including not being able to access the holy sites. on the other side, this will more homes out, is there a bethlehem in the occupied westbank? still a head on al jazeera, a festival of life in south korea, organize the se,
