islands 7 has no stories for a global audience. this is my you house is way what these are 15 foot side of the phrase us from our culture. open your eyes to an alternative view of the world today on how does era, the con, eunice, in southern gaza is battered by intense, is really showing an aerial bombing killing dozens of people. the you're watching out a 0 light from a headquarters. and so how i'm getting you navigate is also coming up tens of thousands of displace palestinians try to seek safety from the violence and gaza southern most of the city and south africa accuses israel is committing genocide and gaza. and file is

a case at the international court of justice. and the us state department bypass has congress to approve the sale of high explosive artillery shells to israel. the color we beginning does where the is really military is carrying out more air strikes, ground attacks and naval bombardments across the palestinian territory. among the hardest hit is con eunice as is really units expand operations around the southern city. the military says that it's targeting hamas leaders hiding there, but many civilians have been killed in central gaza. is really strikes are increasingly targeting refugee camps. at least a 100 palestinians have been killed here in the past 24 hours. and palestinian factions are fighting is really troops in central areas. and the conflict in central gaza is pushing more palestinians to go south. and the city of stuff is the

most densely populated in the strip and has received another 100000 people. in recent days, we have island fisher standing by it occupied east. jerusalem will bring him in in a moment. but 1st let's get an update from honey. my fluid who's a not very densely packed city of af, off hi needed. just tell us how people there or even coping in the aftermath of the is really or strikes of the yes, very well, the world cool thing or just think that the situation that might not be the the correct word here. people here have no other options of to, to rely on or to, to seek the of the better their life. what's going on is a complete and complete dire situations for them and their loved ones, their livelihood is at risk right now, not only from the fall and unpredictable bonds, but because of as our vision that it started to be visible across vis

a small sliver of land and those also from the front of the risk of a sprint of infectious disease and fully packed it has put those what we're seeing now here is a combination of everything that has its tall on people here and not only displays but also hungry thursday. and largely traumatized it population. we're looking at the most vulnerable group of, of what's happening. it's mainly children and women and children who suffer from increasingly visible as trauma, as well as women who like the very basic survivor item big health that could help them. it combines these terrible living conditions of what's going on so far. there's ongoing relentless boulevard just within the past few minutes or within the vicinity of the european gaza house. cuz i'm here at the, it's between rough on hon unit relentless aerial bombardment and artillery. running the reports about 5 people have been killed and other injuries were rushed to the

gathering fee and hospital. also there's a really overwhelmed impact with thousands of exact ways inside, but also injuries and those with critical conditions on the floors of the hospital . that's a representative sample of how the health care facilities across garza are suffering . okay, honey, thank you so much for that update from alpha in the south of the gaza strip. let's not bringing island fisher who's joining that's from occupied is through so, and so i'll, and what's being said on the is really side about this whitening offensive, and particularly in the south. and then how do you in us well, these really, they're saying that there is certainly making inroads just in the last few hours. they have claimed that they've killed dozens of homeless fighters, and it consisted authoration around in bentley here. and they say they've also destroyed 2 buildings in that area. and from that they recovered a significant amount of weapons. a number of items that are already being prepared

to use against, i think is really forces. and also they managed to confiscate communications equipment. now they're talking about how there has been an intense bombardment around you cutting units, preparing essentially for an advance and that significant, unimportant, because these really is the god con eunice as a how my strong hold the believe, a number of leaders i hold up there. i'm all the control, the outskirts of most of the city. they are prepared to start moving yet and they know that that will lead to an intense buckle. so that is why we're hearing reports of heavy tank bombardment in that area. and we know that the fighting the often isn't just building to building a street to street, but often names up all, most face to face. instead of coming see that we've had from both sides during this talking about both sides. they all come to the gate, say that they've had a number of successes in the last few hours as well. they say that they've destroyed a trip, katia and l, but is in northern gaza. and also that the i talked to destroyed and is really time

in that area. another thing to remember, of course, is that we can confirm any of these claims. they make these claims every day, both sides and we can indent plates independently, confirm whether or not it's not. it's the case, but the fact that there is intense fighting in the north. and the center part certainly suggests that this is going to be a long and a difficult battle as these release the platinum move to the. so here's another reason why it's important in the center of the country as well. if these rarely state con units then they can perhaps. 1 moving on to part 3 of their operation in guys something the americans have been pushing them to do that at least point big time. and it will move from rather being the intense bombardment that we've seen, the mass killing according to a number of critics. but i'm much more targeted much more subject co opperation in the so which of course as we know is heavily populated,

particularly normally. but no with all the people. so i've moved from north and central gaza. all right, thank you so much. island fisher reporting from occupied east jerusalem. south africa has filed a case of b. u ends international court of justice accusing israel of genocide. the position x uses israel of calculated 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 on defines the crime of genocide. so it has 2 main elements. the mental aspect, meaning the intent to destroy in whole or in parts a national ethnic, racial or religious group. the physical elements includes killing or causing bodily or mental foreign to members of such a group. it also includes deliberately inflicting conditions designed to physically destroy its in whole or in parts and imposing measures to prevent the birds or

forcibly transferring children of a group to another. earlier south africa's minister for social development tools alger 0. but approaching the international court of justice was a necessary act of solidarity with the palestinians. a me says the phones, right. and what they see on the drum and what has been has to be a god. we know issue the ac and i was to say upfront, that's the government part of the closing his only 5 with the new people in the cause of for it to say so who see, but what we want to see a end of the piece for readings as far as possible and the home is that a platform that is available? and what does that mean? part of the applicant is the also the available platform that we

decided we need to step onto the routine for be reset and also a to these questions be in the best way possible. and i'll be next, the next from i will set up a big and call me and my, the people and the all the time. why don't you see those are, this is the s i n s a was also high . are they submitted by the way, to get to the whole community live? there was no s of the, of the with the that's what happened. the s in terms of finding here. so it has to be there. and you're the

by the, the, to stay with us at the time you know, to find peace in this country. as israel airstrikes continued to pounds gauze, despite international calls for cease fire, the bite administration has approve new weapons sales to israel. us sector state anthony blinking has approved a $147000000.00 deal. it includes high explosive artillery shells. this is the 2nd time this month that the bite and administration is bypassing a congressional review for foreign military sales. let's speak to, i'll just say we're a senior political analyst model. i'm poseida joining us now. hi my one. how do you explain this move by the, by the administration, and what does it tell us perhaps about their strategy going forward when it comes to the world garza, you know, it's somewhat inexplicable in the sense that it doesn't make sense for the by the

administration. after all, what it did to as rise enough to have some 80 plus days of a war crimes in guys out for to explain it more arms. and that's for 3 fundamental reasons. one, literally the entire enterprises, of course, is suspect. because how could the united states uh, expedite farms, what is not even expedite thing humanitarian aid to the people in casa? why would the united states want to expedite it more indiscriminate explosives to is right? what do we know that fish ward has broken new records in terms of this or the beginning of june of those that killing of you will not technician staff that could exist. children, the destruction of hospitals and schools that saw so forth. and yet, as this is an urgency to do more of the same at this point in time, when in fact,

the budget administration, it has insisted over the past few days that you know, that is i must move to another phase of award less intensive bombing. if it wants to move to a less intensive bombing, why than send this more weapons, that sort of the incense of bombing phase. so that says it's inexplicable. and last but not least, there's already been precedence of the bypass in congress when there's absolutely no need to bypass congress when the, by the end of the session itself, has created new guidelines back in february. those guidelines meant to make it even more strict for an american government to be dispatching arms to countries involved the more and suspect of violating the laws of war. so this is needed in the united states, in the sense of a democratic checks and balances just to make sure that the executives is not doing what do in fact it's doing today a thing and a bit thing. a foreign government by cutting walk,

right. so we'll receive pushback from not only the american public, but perhaps some members of congress. you know, is there any, has, is there a lobby has a long boat congress and it's loyalties. you are. uh, you are uh you know, hard to find a few members of congress who would still question american a to is that right the by that and instruction for example, as already committed $14000000000.00 to is read to aid it with this war. and that seems to be probably going to go through while i'm a to your brain, which is supposedly a far more important issue, strategically through united states as 5 facing 5 more difficulties and obstacles in congress. so yes, that would be probably eventually is some kind of a question of why now and why aren't we looking at swords,

especially that even their outcome public now is becoming exposed a to z, ongoing general side and goes to the war crimes and guys are more and more american media coverage of what is going on. so i think 2nd or 3rd blinking, which has proved to be somewhat of i'm not even that. so sort of, you know, working on the behalf of these are the governments sometimes you wonder if he's the secretary of the united states or the foreign minister of his ride. so much he is in defense of his interest in washington, but clearly also invited him size as well under, by the restriction of bucks himself. and so much behind the government that's now apparently they feel like they must do whatever it takes to end this war. bank this war meeting whenever it wants to end the war. i'm speaking of israel, f o mertsa, of course, the former prime minister of israel rhodes earlier this week, and her ets, that the odds of achieving the complete elimination of how must were new from the

moment that the prime minister declared that the chief goal of the war and what we see happening on the ground right now is that israel has widens it's offensive, focusing on han unit, saying that's where the hamas leaders are. what clearly is getting a beating. and guys clearly is where i did not expect the war to go as it's going now, although it disconnect all long war, but clearly it's getting quite the beating the resistance quite staunch. and the, and the civilian cost of this war for the policy is way too high. and clearly this is going to cost is red, regionally and internationally. it will also cost the united states. but in terms of the objectives of the war, i think the or the changing and i think this is rather government because of all the things i've just mentioned, i was probably seeking somehow to ken or the assessor. they have mostly those in guys that today a quarter to fix it. right,

because i think they probably destroyed everything if it's possible to destroy and garza, they've bombed every possible target that they could bomb. and guys, i think the claims that they've killed him, us soldiers, they're wonderful because they want, they want the high profile once they want to get the 5, they want to get the 5 or the there's of course, presumably prices on their heads. but i think once they get through the, i don't want to start mentioning names, but clearly once they get to that they offensive a lot on so on, so forth. they are saying that this will probably be a way to wrap it up and declared the evicted, at least in terms of this phase of the war i think is where is involved at this point in time after what's happening in october 7. and since it's going to be involved in a war across or on the front of site and clearly ask that it goes, that's going to be the west bank. and clearly the ethnic cleansing,

or the in presenting over an entire pot of send you a nation in some form of an open air prison. whether and or spectrum guys is coming . and clearly these are kind of take a long time. so i think there are, uh they have uh you know, type in the seat, their seat built in somehow. and while this, what kind of go on as it is today, meaning in the sense of intensive bombings and the deployments of hundreds of thousands. calling the reserves and so on, so forth. i think that phase of the world will eventually end, but in terms of the war and it's longer format with that more discriminant, more um, more that targeted against him, us and against the policy. and the thought of the eventually, in the west bank would probably go on open ended. all right, thank you so much for allowing me to shut off. it's still a head on al jazeera, picking up the pieces as israel demolished, is a record number of palestinian phones in the occupied westbank.

the hey, you're just in time for your weather update across the americas and you know, for the canadian maritime. so it's got some ice on the trees there. after freezing rain fell and now we're going to get into some heavy wet snow here, so on halifax could pick up to 10 centimeters of snow. now for canada's other coast, there was winds finally begin to die down. we seldom exceed a 100 kilometers per hour. is driving warmer air off the pacific. so vancouver at 13 degrees and still a down date in california is that rain now moves into the valley, up against the foothills of the sierra nevada windsor turning around. so temperature is in the southern us are beginning to come up. not bad in houston at 17, but cool in miami. 19 just for you today on saturday, we've got this dangling weather front through the bahamas cuba,

jamaica. pouring into hunters think the worst of the rain will be along. hunters is caribbean coast. to south america, we go the usual storms through the amazon basin, but look at the storms, southern believe the pushing into that western side of paraguay. this for the most effective weather will be and with this breeze coming off this soft biotech, it's knocked down temperatures and that southeast corner of brazil. so paulo 27 degrees and rio de janeiro coming in at 33 degrees today on saturday. that's it says here, the good is the wrong rather than the exception for elders to report child abuse, to search and it keeps it protects the users for years and years. so no one's ever told me that it wasn't my fault. fault lines, investigate state laws in the us that can lead to child sexual abuse and religious

institutions going on punished secrets of the clergy on the jersey. the the color again, here's a reminder of the top stories this hour is really forces or expanding operations around find interested in southern gaza. tank fire and aerial bombing struck the region on friday nights. the military size it's targeting time us leaders with thousands of civilians have been killed. south africa is called the case of the ones international court of justice accusing israel of genocide. tristan states israel used calculated actions intended to bring about the physical destruction of

palestine. us sector, state antony, blinking his bypass congress to approve the sale of my explosive weaponry to israel . lincoln says he had to forego the usual notification process due to the emergency situation in gaza. will in gauze all while she white sheets have become a powerful symbol of ongoing hostilities, deeply rooted in the religious tradition of the region. they now highlight the rising number of palestinians killed and is really a tax. actual design of its reports. how many the most size, the volunteer in a rough or preparing bodies for burial? she uses these plain white sheets to rep did that in 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 in there. yeah. because that's what i had. i never expected this

number of data at all. they probably did not have such numbers. in the previous words, we're talking about imaginable numbers. kind of, 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. and that's because the fees are as bombardments 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. so that the sure the. yeah a lot the governor of the of the big number of people killed made the white shroud . a symbol for the small i don't need became part of the, the polish thing plug in its influence on the wall above the significance of all calls you can um the since the beginning of the war and gaza

wide shrouds tell a story of loss. families 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 assignment which out to 0. so united nation says is really forces have demolished more palestinian homes on buildings this year than ever before. since january, the 1st is really forces have destroyed more than 1100 palestinian buildings in the occupied west bank. that's the highest and a year since the u. n. started documenting such actions in 2006 is really a forward you say many of these homes were built without a permits. only 2 percent of palestinians, applications for construction are approved by israel. the pace of demolitions has

increased following israel's war on garza 354 had been recorded since october. the 7th is really subtler supposed to become increasingly hostile. settlers carry out 6 incidents of violence on average a free day as well. the united nation says is when the forces have demolished more palestinian homes on buildings this year than ever before. properties that have stood for decades and they occupied, westbank are often destroyed because is really a forward, he said they were built illegally. and it's a policy that drives many palestinians from the land. they've lived on or farmed for generations. bernard smith has more from the occupied westbank. 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 a pony, but then at most, only 2 percent of construction applications are approved and the occupied westbank

. israel government would prefer it if the palestinians just left quinn, tabitha, and if 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. the forced us out after leaving us in the cold, the confiscated everything. then we built the house again. here we are now again living in the same situation. and then there are a setlist newly emboldened since the start of the war and gone to settle a violence as so to its highest levels since the un started recording data. there are now 6 incidents a day on average. now is rarely human rights group that so lamb says that this policy 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. but 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. and i'm recording just like this. a statement that in so long and 19189 said clearly he was visiting, visiting south africa. the think it was the types of ethic. when he came back, he said, literally, you'll come, floated people in trucks nowadays and for them outside the borders. you'll create the positive conditions to convince them to be and that's clearly what they, what they were doing. you know, implementing actually these days of the 7th to when the power citizens are driven out. the settlers move in the settlement began with one house for 2 years ago. as it expands, it eats away 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 going at smith. i'll just add a photo sprayed to john in the occupied westbank. it's the now let's take a look at some of the days other news and thousands of rallied in the serbian capital to protest against what they say are rigged election results. these are live shots from belgrade for the main opposition alliance is accusing the governments of allowing essex serves from bosnia to vote illegally. president, alexander, of which is serbian progressive party secured a narrow when in parliament. earlier this month, russia says and ukrainian striking the ritz border has killed one person. the defense of industry says 13 missiles were intercepted around bells road. it follows the largest russian assault on ukraine this year. 31 people were reported to have been killed on friday. and during that attack, poland says

a russian missile briefly crossed its air space. warsaw, which is a member of nato, has summoned moscow's diplomatic representative for an explanation. russia says there is no proof of a board or violation. argentina has withdrawn his planned entry into the expanding bricks club of nations. presidents have you emulate says the decision which was taken by the previous government has been revised. argentina was one of 6 countries points to join the block next month as well. the new governments and argentina has started implementing reforms to the struggling economy, but the country remains divided, and a general strike has been cold for next month by trade unions. monica and a cat has been asking people and what i cyrus, how they feel about the plans it, where do i go now is still trying to understand how life in argentina will dramatically change from a welfare state for the free market economy as

a shopkeeper who was already having a hard time keeping up with rising costs in a country on the brink of hyperinflation. now that argentine is new president, have you had any late, has lifted price controls out? i'd go and i will have to pay 50 percent more for health care and private schooling . you guess, i don't know, i'm a shelf the president implemented a shock therapy to reduce public spending an option to you. but you can't just apply basic mathematics and say that 2 plus 2 is for. if you're dealing with people's lives, especially fall from the country's population is already living in poverty. since he took office 3 weeks ago, mealy, inactive, a mega decree, abolishing more than 300 roles. he also sent a package of bills to congress, changing over 600 laws. he expedited divorce procedures pay the way to privatized, own companies, and socrates, and eliminated price ceilings on rents and medicine. the price of the santa by audit, for example,

has gone up 73 percent in just one week. and the pharmacist tells us that he does not know how much more it will increase and the next day, many of his clients suffering from chronic diseases have already talked and they can no longer buy their medicine. one woman had no money to my high blood pressure pills. i felt sorry and had to give her a discount, so she could not interrupt her treatment arjun times have already held to st. protest against me late and treat. unions have announced a general stripe for january 24th but some like restaurant owner, pacific data say it's too soon to criticize the president. get single feedback and by you, i have faith in this country that has given me all i have.
