falling on their, on their homes and list on the aid. and the fact that there is a, this long, very crowded american is then at the put on, on the delivery of a, it on the entrance of a just make the whole situation is very difficult. we're talking about a large, a segment of the population in spent the entire population is becoming is there any display as hungry its from its highs and in need of those dire needs in order to survive and can 5, the, the affordable living condition. the fact that there is a police of the 3 layer inspection of process on a these involves a, the, the transfer of a to, from one to crossing that is mainly designed for passenger not for attracts. i'm not for a, into another, a check point controlled by these really military and into a 3rd one. and that is designed for the inference of attracts and we're talking about the capacity of that
2:04 pm
a crossing is less than what people are in need right now. with these difficult condition, it operates a free, a tober 7th and free this more into the capacity of what policy that needs on daily basis. but as of now, when looking at the process and whole, the, the, the, the policy is involved in, in terms of it, just make it very, very difficult. a on top of that, there is a logistically, it's increasingly difficult for aid workers on the ground there either shut out or they cannot move their convoy, given the sheer level of destruction on the infrastructure. and the damage on the road is making very difficult to move around a, the goal is to then deliver it to those words, much needed. and so far are we talking about the entire populate? the 2300000 people are in need of human a, terry and a then in need of those items to survive. you can buy these, turn those and living condition. and in addition, this is the, the, the a, these guarantee, the 0 guarantee of safety for workers on the ground also make
2:05 pm
a difference. there are so many aid workers of been killed during this war. and on top of that beat, the need is a greater than a then what the hell that has has been received so far. we're talking about it's triple. and sometimes waterville, the amount that is needed right now. just because we're talking about hall level, not only people hard displays, but also they're hungry, they're thursdays and they are sick as well as the needs of the necessary medical supplies to help them. and why are these difficult? uh, difficult times. busy w h o reported and document the cases of, of, of thousands of cases of among children of valve diarrhea of risk fire story problems. and again, i'm on senior citizen as well as smallpox, and spreading in 6 ram evacuation centers. the job is operated and managed by, by owner of all of this just makes it very difficult for aids to be deliver despite the talks about increase the amount so far it is so little in the face of that
2:06 pm
greater demand. thanks so much, honey for finding that picture for us of what life is like a inside gaza at this point in time, this honey mcmurry, for us in rockford and southern guns and as well. ellen fisher is joining us from occupied east jerusalem into eleanor's honey. was pointing out the, the situation of what it is like for people on the grounds that we know that is being this very intense bowman campaign, especially around con units. can you tell us what is being said in israel about why they are targeting that area? specifically mostly is really, is that making a big claim significant ground in northern and central gaza. they say that they have killed dozens of thomas biters that they have been involved. and in 10 spackles they and they've called in ear support will necessarily be said that they also destroyed 2 buildings in bentley here. and arrived in that area. they're
2:07 pm
claiming that they find a significant number of weapons palms that had already been constructed for use against these really forces. and also they have bodies to confiscate communications equipment, which they say had been used by how much fight this to pinpoint is released as they were moving funds us through the strip at the fact that they are in and out and can use it is important. and significant because these really believe that that is one of the how my strong holes in northern and central guys. and they believe that that is going to be one of their main goal is to essentially clean it out. and we hear that after taking control of the edge of 10 units, they are preparing to move troops in through the sensitive can use to try and take over the the whole the area. and many people believe if they do manage to do that, that will be significant because that could well be the end of the 2nd stage of the war and guy. so which means they would move to the thought stage, which is target taking the so. but also to a more strategic operation,
2:08 pm
rather than the intense bombing that we've seen in the 1st 85 days. and also as critics say, and then perhaps to the mass killing that we've also seen know a number of the groups that including uh, the uh, customer of the game, at the military wing of, uh, how much i suggesting that the to have and military success is this thing that they destroyed it took katia, north of elbows. yeah. and in northern guys. uh. and they also uh, hit a tank and destroyed the tank as well. that important thing to point out with both these claims from the israelis and also from us. and i'll catch them as they make the sort of claims on a daily basis. and i'll just see that has no way of independently verified either of those claims, but it's clear and tends, bottles are still being forth in northern on central garza, with these really military have claimed that they're very close to having almost complete military control of both those areas right, thanks so much ellen,
2:09 pm
this ellen session for us and occupied east jerusalem realizes there's really bombardment has targeted an ancient mosque and garza, the marine mosque has been severely damaged during numerous assaults in the past. few weeks. is the 3rd largest in palestine dining back around 1400 years. a guys are watch sheets have become a symbol of palestinians, killed and is ready a tax excels on which reports how many the most size, the volunteer in a rough or preparing bodies for burial. she uses these plain white sheets to prep the dat of the early days of the war, the demand for shroud search beyond supply, forcing him to wrapped up to 5 bodies together in a single sheet that uh yeah, because that's what i have. i never expected this number of depths at all. they probably did not have such numbers. in the previous words, we're talking about imaginable numbers. kind of,
2:10 pm
we're talking about more than 20000 people. not including the people missing. i think i've seen donations have allowed him to buy more trouts. but every day items like caesars and cotton are hard to find. that's because of these are as bombardment in group operations and it's land. see it air block, 8 of the straight as cemeteries fill up with the dead orders are being buried in communal grades. the white shroud is important in most of the tradition. now it's become a symbol of the palestinian struggle. good. sort of the sure. the. yeah. let the governor of the of the big number of people killed and i made the white shroud. a symbol for the small island, i mean, became popular to the palestine plug in its influence on the wall above the significance of bar codes. you can of the, since the beginning of the war and gaza wide shrouds tell a story of loss,
2:11 pm
the family's use them to say good bye to their loved ones with the last heartfelt message. but sometimes will say not our volunteers don't know who they're burying. i can only write on a no x, those i'm of which out to 0. the south africa has filed the case that the you in to international court of justice accusing is where i live genocide. petition, excuse us, is ratliff calculated to actions intended to bring about the physical destruction of palestine. article 2 of the genocide convention was adopted by the un general assembly in 1948 and defines the crime of genocide. it has 2 main elements. the mental aspect, meaning the, of the intense to destroy in whole, or in part a national ethnic, racial or religious group. the physical elements includes killing or causing bodily or mental home to members of such a group. it also includes deliberately inflicting conditions designed to physically
2:12 pm
destroys in whole or in pos and imposing measures to prevent that soul forcibly transferring children of a group to another earlier. so that because minutes of his social development told l g 0 at that approaching the international court of justice was unnecessary active, solidarity with palestinians to reset the phones by what they see on the ground. and what has been happening in particular that you know, we know issue the ac and i was to say from, that's the only to buy with the new people in the cause and for it to say, so there's a lot of money we want to see a end of the piece for reasons as far as possible and the
2:13 pm
home is that a platform that is available? and what does that mean? part of the applicant is the, the platform that we decided we need to step onto the routine for be also a to these course be in the best way possible. and i'll be next to the men from our own set up a big and call me and my, the people and the all the time. why don't we say those are this is that also b s i n e u s. a was also as high as they submitted, by the way to get to they told me there was no s of the of the would be that's what
2:14 pm
happened. the s in terms of finding here. so it has to be there. and you're the, the, the, to stay with us. and so, you know, quick to find peace in the country as early as strikes, continue to pounds gallons. and despite international calls for 6, find the button administration has approved new width and sales to as well to a secretary of state institute blinking has approved $147000000.00 deal. that includes high explosive a tillery shells. it's the 2nd time this month at the bottom, administration is bypassing a congressional review for foreign military styles. well, for more in this out, is there a senior political analyst, male on the shower. it joins us. uh, once again, thank you very much for being in the studio with us, a high explosive, a tillery shelves. what does that say about where the us is that despite all the
2:15 pm
pressure coming from around the world, but within the united states about it's intent when it comes to this war? it's really astounding. one that has to you know, look deep to see if there is any meaningful explanation for why the by that administration wants to by pass congress in order to expedite weapons to a country that is involved in war crimes. what this model is, the 2nd, the suspect, right? model it scandalous. this is a war. that's what we now know for a fact, after 10 weeks, 11 weeks that it broke all records in terms of the number of journalists scale, the number of united admission staff killed, the number of children killed, the number of educational facilities destroyed and damaged hospitals attacks. so we know and pain sight, this all happened the past 1011 weeks. and yet the,
2:16 pm
by the assertion feels that it's necessary to expedite more of this kind of weapon, discriminatory work for in terms of its effects on the civilian population. but it's also a politically suspect in the sense that why would you one bite, why one? why would you want to bypass congress twice in the same month? what is the urgency to bypass your own guidelines? because that's, remember that's the by the administration created. it's owned by a guidelines back in february this year that says the restrictions are not enough yet. we have to put more restrictions on selling foreign governments weapons when we need to know that they are expecting the loss of one. in this case we have countless exports that are sending us that's not the only is that is coming to your crime, just committing genocide, think us. and then 3rd,
2:17 pm
unless it is strategically says defeated. because the by the administration said that it's meeting with is ready to move from the investment phase of the war to the less intensive. so why have expedited weapons for the intensive as a phase of the war? 53 once is ready to move. i fear its phase one or 2 and scroll down the sale or the uh, the trash for a weapon to come through. that is so eager to be kidding, more and more people. so what do you think is going to happen on the ground now through the sale of alms? because obviously, as we've heard, even from within the united states, government said there is a lot of skepticism that as well will actually be able to destroy from us completely. do think that this is going to prolong the war. it certainly will in the sense that if it's right, it's going to have unlimited uh, access to weapons the way it does cheap. what that is, what the free, basically because it's right at the united states is already committed.
2:18 pm
$14000000000.00 to, to help is as more effort in gaza. but it's all the effectors already there. i mean, i think and one of our meetings the also, or the correspondence in, in guys a what expressing the method that the explosions are so different spacing in new and is that you've been here. it's enough for me. i just didn't know if the, if there's what button, what actually happened notified in is that the vestry, i think it was last night. so is there. it is already intensifying the bombings and guys, i know somebody in the south and engaging in this can discriminate bombing so out that goes us through which means that the decision on the front of the by then administration to allow such transfers to up into is right is in fact empowering is right to engage in even more violations of international laws of war. more, more crimes and guys, as we're seeing from the number of civilians killed. okay,
2:19 pm
thanks so much mon, as always, we appreciate your insight into this and to show it there for us or a so a head on the l just here, picking up the pieces. this is round demolish is a records number of palestinian homes in the occupied with bank the hello. again, it's an active picture for japan's vein island of honshu. we've got one system exiting from the east another coming in to the west. so whether it's in play here for heavy rainfall and sundry downpours, you come across a huge swath of china. we're dealing with fog and small gets cool and warm air bits together. and no real wind to drag that out. but it is breezy in the east of the country around shanghai, that's a northerly wind, drops down your temperature to 8 degrees. speaking of temperatures,
2:20 pm
hot is december day on record for a careless states capital. we got to 36.2. otherwise we're dealing with foggy and spock here as well. about 30 percent of india is population is dealing with visibility, 50 meters or less. the usual downpours and for longer and the more these are for buckets dawn, it's hots in the south, above average, in karachi. cool. in the north for hor, it's 17 that's below average. and to saudi arabia we go. we've had more storms in north central area so. but right i here we saw a hail storm. we had a lot of heat here as of late temperature just dropped by about 10 degrees in the matter of hours. now still active weather for north central areas. and in fact we could see some of these what weather leaking to guitar. hope for the next little bit. now, you know, we'll see you later. i as the president biden says, wants a 2 state solution for palestinians and israelis. or does anybody believe it's
2:21 pm
doable? what this is real for? i'm gonna say it back to us foreign policy. and what are the long term consequences for the region and the world? the quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line will cover all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is a light and it's my job to shed light on how and why the the, the fuel. what you'll just say a reminder about top stores, the ssl is ready forces are expanding operations around con eunice and something cause a tank fine and aerial bombing destructive region. on friday nights the military
2:22 pm
says it's targeting combust latest, but thousands of civilians have been killed. so that progressive is filed, the kinds of unions, international court of justice accusing israel of genocide to petition states as well as use calculated actions and tenants bring them out. the physical destruction have a strong and us secretary of state engineer blinking has bypass congress to approve the sale of high explosive weapon rates as ro blinking says he had to forego the usual notification process. due to the emergency situation in gaza, the united nation says is ready, forces have demolished more palestinian homes and buildings this year than ever before. properties that have stood for decades in the occupied with bank i often destroyed because as rarely goes towards the side, they will build a legally. it's a policy that drives many palestinians from the land. i've lived on all funds for generations. bennett smith has more from the occupied with bank
2:23 pm
a token is really military bulldoze, a 10 minutes to destroy the abu j. she's home of 30 years. the justification it'd been built without opponent. but then at most, only 2 percent of construction applications were approved in the occupied westbank . it is rails government would prefer it if the palestinians just left cabinet under him instead of the house had been demolished before in 1998. when i was pregnant, we were living in tents. there was a baby girl who was only a week old. they forced us out after leaving us in the cold, they confiscated everything. then we built the house again. here we are now again living in the same situation. and then there was settlers newly emboldened since the start of the war and gone to settle a violence as so to its highest levels since the you and started recording data that are now 6 incidents a day on average now is randy human rights group that slammed says that this policy
2:24 pm
of making life so miserable for the palestinians that they eventually leave is effectively forcible transfer. and that's a whole crime on the international law that it doesn't happen. a gun point is irrelevant. this subtle is grazing the shape of a palestinian land. the palestinians are powerless to stop in a combination of destroying homes, prevented construction. and encouraging settlers is driving palestinians away. i'm recording just like a statement that i insure long in 1989. so clearly he was visiting, visiting south africa the time was outside. so when he came back, he says, literally, you're comfortable with people in trucks nowadays and for them outside the borders, you create the positive conditions to convince them to the and that's clearly what they, what they were doing. you know,
2:25 pm
implementing actually these days after the 7th through october when the power citizens that driven out the settlers move in the sacrament began with one house 40 years ago. as it expands, it eats away of the palestinian land around it. but the apple j. she's home and the photo island around her. he's in the way about expansion. lynette smith. i'll just add a photo specter john and the occupied westbank. the . let's take a look at some of the world news. now russia says ukrainian striking is boy that has killed one person. the defense ministry says 13 missiles with intercepted around bell girl. that comes up to the law just russian assault on you. crime this year, killed at least $31.00 people on friday. but during that attack, poland says a russian missile briefly crossed, it's a spice also is
2:26 pm
a member of nice. so and some of the most goes diplomatic. representative for an explanation of russia says there is no proof of board violation. last year, 2 civilians were killed. ukrainian in defense missile landed in the polish village near the border of votes, still being counted in the democratic republic of congo. his presidential election with provisional results expected on sunday. about 40000000 con glaze were registered to take part in the vote that's being mobbed by claims of irregularities . catherine story has more from can she also, or people are waiting for those results. so, but there is a lot of unsaturated. see a sofa president next to security has taken a wide lead, a guess he's closest compared to some boys got to be and by all positions, he does have already said that they will reject the results. they call the
2:27 pm
selection shop. and they also say that they're not even going to go to court to contest this. they say that said the constitutional court and the judges are compromised. some of the leaders say that they will take the flight to the people, to the streets and to, you know, through our tests. we have seen reports from that you, when a group of experts and this report that he's talking about the escalating violence in north cuba province of people have been sleeping in the last week also. and this slicing is between government forces militia allied to the government who had told and m 20 suite rebels. now this fighting has been going on for 2. yes. and that has, that was supposed to be a ceasefire in place. oh, good um, negotiated by that you, when you asked,
2:28 pm
but obviously that has gone away. 2.6000000 people in last year. when areas in go my, the producer copied, all have been displaced, they are in comp for this place. and this is what a lot of people have been talking about throughout the election above the security situation. and they say that the government has not done enough to help people who leave in those areas in total. um, in the countries 7000000 people have been displaced, most of them are in the is so a lot of police saying that the government needs to do that to do something about that with thousands of all positions that folds as a protesting in the serbian capital but these are live fixtures from belgrade, rallying against alleged election for 2 weeks ago, and demanding a rerun of problem entry and local elections. really, a dozens of protests is blocked to key road in cities. capital. brazil is calling
2:29 pm
for com attentions escalate between venezuela and guyana. over the disputed oil, which is to keep our region and asylum. presidents. nicholas madura has launched a major military exercise of the guy on the cost of more, rob, a lot of reports. so you mean sightseeing also turn it off about the face military drills taking place near vin as well as border with diana been as well and president because as model is calling it a defensive exercise. following the deployment of the british royal navy patrol vessel the h m s trent to the waters near the coast of brianna. yeah, allow me and i saw that i knew this is the threat of the united kingdom against a noble know peaceful but brave people. the people venezuela, we spoke with foreign ministers and with prime ministers here in that they will demanded that kind of stop the arrival of this threatening ship. and the guy on that has privately rectified that to, to receive the trusting ship of the decadent british ex empire. tensions between
2:30 pm
venezuela and diana have been on the rise over the sc. we bought a large jungle region which has been contested by both countries for decades. and was found to host vast oil deposits off its shores in 2015 guy. and these officials have denied making any actions of provocation against venezuela, but have also defended the arrival of the british warship to go into calling it a routine visit. we don't have any a plan to take a friend safe action against venezuela, whatever we do here as being low gene and that's been long plan. and it's part of our building a defensive capability in diana. earlier this month, the leaders of both countries met in person and signed an agreement to avoid the use of force. i'm its height intense.
