8:00 am
i did absolutely hear the story on told to how does era award winning documentary is from around the corner, which is 0. the alignment case, the international court of justice is set to hear arguments from south africa using his where i left him. i think genocide against the people of johnson, the hello i'm darn jordan, this is out of the red light from the also coming out is where the strikes target central gaus at 40 people are killed in an attack. alex the hospital. that's not a full pallets being read, present stuff is all killed. and then it's right in strike of an ambulance and central gulf and the un security council adults and resolution demanding and
8:01 am
immediate food to who fuel tanks in the rates the . we begin with what's expected to be a landmark hearing at the international court of justice in the coming hours. the court will hear arguments on with a israel is committing genocide and it's war on guns up with the case pulled by south africa. q is israel of violating the 1948 you and genocide convention with mass killings, expulsions, and statements describing published demands as sub human. when ahead of that hearing the death toll from his radio tax and gaza keeps rising. 25000 palestinians more than 10000 of them. children have been killed so far. but you and says gaza has become uninhabitable. but palestinians in the occupied west bank of been running in support of south africa's case the tire tracy. the search and illegal is rarely its secular activity attacks and on the rates from the hague step by some
8:02 am
begins on coverage it seen as one of the most prominent cases in the more than 75 year long history of the international court of justice. 17 charges will have to decide if it's ro is committing genocide. that is deliberately wiping out palestinians in gaza as an ethnic group entirely. or in part, the genocide convention was anonymously adopted in 1948 after world war 2, a unified commitment by the international community to napa, let atrocities like the holocaust happen again. south africa, i decided to bring the case before the world's highest court after un resolutions calling for a stop to israel's actions in gosh, i were either vetoed or ignored by israel is a compelling argument that general site is being committed and in gaza on the basis that is in an under elation or can single facing indian population. and then
8:03 am
also the, the, the quotes or for him is what i mean and stuff. and in general, as of the, i mean a to, to, to, to an elite, the entire population of put a student from, from the augusta. the funding fund has been affinity of the game. so, but forgot is not free until the people of palestine, i think, is fairly nice. it is committing genocide, calling the case blocked libel, a false anti semitic accusation. they say history will judge south africa. this really delegation was not available to comment. wednesday, exports on international law call us ironic. that's 75 years off to the genocide convention was adopted because of the holocaust. it's really is for outlets will be in the dark facing genocide, accusations this fix here as a piece palace and they hate a high because the un court is the highest funny. the un has to uphold international law. south africa has asked the court for an urgent injunction to
8:04 am
stop is for health, military campaign, but cases that the i, c. j, usually take use a decision. unprofessional measures is expected within weeks. the procedure of the un as a whole, as a system is hanging in the balance here. this is a moment for the west to actually answer to the, the signs of the, of international law that they have has so sacred i. c, j. o. world court decisions are binding, but the court has no power to enforce them. recently me, on my end, russia ignored verdicts to stop potential genocidal exit government on south africa . hopes that if they win, it will further increase international pressure on countries like the united states who are backing is for out to do more to stop the fighting stuff fast and algebra. take this course a lot now to stephanie back kind of who is an occupied east jerusalem study. so what's been the reaction to this and israel sofa, and what are we expecting on 1st day that of the
8:05 am
category of denial rejection, the cooling, everything baseless that south africa. so south africa so far presented its case that israel is accused of carrying out acts of genocide having the intent to commit genocide and also not holding those undertaking genocide to justice. what we understand is going to happen today. south africa will be presenting its case around an hour or so they will delay laying out the t 4 page report and significantly they will be going back in time. and this is to counter israel's case that this really is self defense in response to how mass is attack on october. the 7th is really expected to remind the world as to images to video of the horrific nature of how masses attack on october the 7th. and that this is an act of self defense and that it is taking the utmost care not to target the civilians. but
8:06 am
south africa will be arguing that this is simply a pattern of decades long occupation. if you read the 4 page report, it quotes extensively from previous un reports that date the previous to october. the 7th where it says israel terry's out in one specific incident saying that his radius snipers, targeted children, knowing they were children and it reads on and on and on. and it's something that is around us taking very seriously over the last week is really need your reporting that diplomatic cables reset the embassies saying that a bachelor just had to lobby. the country's also saying that statements should be issued showing that his role was doing more to alleviate this monetary and situation on. certainly no coincidence that we heard from benjamin netanyahu. these really prime minister late last night, a statement in english obviously to the international community. this is what he had to say, and i want to make a few points, absolutely clear, as well as no intentional, permanently occupying gaza or displacing that civilian population as well as
8:07 am
finding how much terrace, not the palestinian population. and we're doing so in full compliance with international law. the adf is doing its utmost to minimize civilian casualties while come mazda is doing its utmost to maximize them by using palestinian civilians as human shields. the idea for just palestinian civilians to leave or zones by disseminating leaflets. making phone calls, providing safe passage corps doors. welcome mos prevents palestinians from leaving at gunpoint. and often with gun far. our goal is to rid guns of commerce, terrace, and fear hostages. once this is achieved, guys, it can be demilitarize it and do radicalize, thereby creating a possibility for a better future for israel and palestinians. i like of the south africa will be presenting it's case 3 fold, one looking at israel's military. extensive military campaign that is destroyed
8:08 am
over 80 percent of goals is infrastructure of civilian homes. it's also going to be looking at the humanitarian case. the fact that israel has prevented in the past, you might have terry and a that's cutoff which is supplies, food, medical assistance to reach the civilian population of goals. and it's also going to be highlighting the rhetoric coming out from the top layers of government. here politicians, i'm going for things like, you know, the total siege of the goals is stripped to cut off water, food supplies, medical supplies, the defense minister, you have, guidelines cooling, palestinians in the cost of human animals and will be treated as such. other words coming from the senior echelons of this government and saying that because it needs to be burned and that people need to be voluntary. so cold in quotations, moved displaced from galls and cooling for is really supplements to be built there . the case will be made for preliminary measures, also to say that israel is showing intent to commit genocide and that's why they'll
8:09 am
be hitting all that kind of veteran rhetoric very strongly. it is significant. legal list will tell you this is the 1st time that israel would appear at one of these cases. it is the highest court available to the united nations. and if the court does rule in favor of preliminary measures to have israel in the dark, being faced with genocide charges a word that was coined a treaty that was coined in the altima of the 2nd world war in the off to most of the holocaust. to ensure that such atrocities wouldn't be committed again to have israel in the dark. certainly it's usually significant and symbolic. all right, so stephanie back a lot for us there and occupied these terms and stuff. he thank you for crowns and them. i also rally to thanks that africans, for supporting palestinians during the war as you heard there. so that as long as this legal case with the top you in court accusing his right of genocide, hold on to a need has moved from the model among the crowd. the people were quite satisfied
8:10 am
and there was a certain degree of, i would say relief in the sense that many told us was finally as someone is speaking, you know name and hoping that really the move of south africa. that $84.00 page filing in which south africa describes what it considers as acts of genocide you'll need to do with the palestinians of would be taken into consideration. and maybe we'll reverberate a bunk more countries around the world. because the palestinians have been extremely frustrated by the new world reaction of maybe we'll leaders when it comes to the applied no, only now during this guy's a war, but for the past decades. oh, you know the situation here, the okay bite was back. this continues led, grab the expansion of settlements, how's the militias all that they have been in jury on
8:11 am
a daily basis. and then there was a 2nd message, which i think was probably the most important one in the short term. which is hoping that that move would put pressure on an international level to bring a ceasefire. every person we spoke to that was listening or every person that was on, on the podium talking was, was good bang the same message as these fire needs to come immediately. and you many tear you in a nice to go in in much bigger numbers because the needs of the file is sinews in guys. absolutely enormous venue with just telling me. no, it's not just about the ceasefire. people will continue to die because of these, these people will continue to die because they're sleeping in the cold. people will continue to die because of many things. so certainly that was the main message. it's your effective state on to me. bring comes now on his way to egypt,
8:12 am
where he'll meet president adults and cc to discuss the war on gaza. on wednesday, he met palestinian president, my boss in ramallah to discuss the future guys including possible steps towards the products to the instate. lead to protest with the upside west funds as many times done as a, posing the visit. that gives us a complicity. what my goal is really genocide in god. what is real, continues to focus attacks on central and southern garza and ambulance in the area of sheltering just based families were among those hits in strikes on wednesday. hold on for 2 people were killed in a striking a residential building, maybe unlocks the hospital correspondence and alca jury has more from there now. but just off to one of those attacks and a warning, some of you guys may find images and have reports to study deluxe a hospital has been targeted with at least 3 is right. the air strikes in the past hour. here is a residential building that has been targeted by the is there any, were planes today?
8:13 am
this is a building in front of the entrance of ox, off hospitals. as you see, this is one of the main gate for up to a hospice and, and a lot of people are seeking refuge here. and here, as you see, the ambulances of the ministry of house have been severely damaged from the air strikes. here is the hospital this, this, this at street is a very busy street where people of our walking 24 and 7 back and forth through the hosp with us and, and not only the people parts. there are cars here. i remember that every single day we used to park our, our, our car over here in this street. as you see, all of the markets in here are damaged here,
8:14 am
where people normally send fluids and people who normally buy stuff. there's a very heartbreaking story where a philosophy guy, who says laughing, has been accepted by a sharpening and he was killed by your unfortunate to be on the wall. we also see his blood on the philosopher's ingredients. dozens of injuries are now in just a lock. so hospitable, where the hospital is working on a very low capacity and the doctors are trying to help as much people as possible as we tried to talk to the policy municipal house and ask them about the injuries. and the killings. they said that they couldn't even come some because i'm going to not stop transferring the injuries. and the killings from this era strike. this is
8:15 am
in the put the for obviously, you know, there is but i have up to the hospital casa atari. god bless, whom has moved from rough in southern gaza. compartment did not stop during the last few hours. of course, the territory and the last hour exactly more attacks have been carried out against roof district in the south part of the, of cause a strip where a farmland had been hit. that was sheltering displaced evacuees where finds palestinians reported killed including 4 children who will have been also killed in the air strike. and this is a part of the ongoing series of attacks on the south as roughly yesterday. it had been hit at the same time, right. now, the type that was being hit again, we're also con, you to city had been us into for the military operations of the last a few hours, where we can see more elimination. if last have been fired on the facility of the, the nozzler hospital where it had lights and all this quite the usually the sort of
8:16 am
an issue. the flyers have been fired by these really made it tree. and that part of cause a just to give a clear vision for the maneuver a trips who are still operating in a han, eunice as they are twice to a deep full control over the city. and we can say that the middle school renee, it's on the a middle govern dates, and the last hour had been on the want military ongoing button. and by the use made out to read the as a residential building, get almost all right, refugee camp was destroyed. and those of how the city is today in the middle, the coordinates have been ended up being transported to a box, a hospital, which is a new attack to date, had been carried out on it's pacific, just a few meters away from the medical complex. as these kinds of village attacks today, you had claimed the lives of at least 147, palestinian alongside with more than 240 others being wanted till now. it's not a personal break here. and i'll just say that when we come back to musicians and
8:17 am
artists an argentine or choose a new president, nothing in tune with their industry and threatens to take away the state support on the armies been deployed in proper and you're getting his capital port must be off for 50 people looking in protest more and that's like the the hello, the weather slot. you set fabric ross, see radium plants that are to find and try whether place on the sunshine, texas. if anything a little about the app is but you know, it just will cloud we do have on set whether moving across northern parts of the region. so just around tech guy pushing either towards the caspian northern areas of best syria using across the rockies and across towards a good parts of iran. then as we go through the next couple of days, you can see how that it does tend to snow over the higher ground. so the south of
8:18 am
it is allows you try 26 celsius here in, di did 3 or 4 degrees above the average. so that's not too bad. things out. so pleasant minds you across the use, the side ultimate, it's right. we have got more shabbas coming back into the live. and so we'll say, so what's the weather coming into western parts of seriously go 3 fast day 11 on this route. right down across the palestinian territories, occupied palestinian territories sang some showers was the way down into the cause of strip on this last day friday as a repeat performance. hopefully just drawing up a little as we go on into the last a parts of the week. happy to set that, put some more live you show us, but that is the side of the med over the next few days. just talking about the training coach, the most advocate, we could catch a shout or what say what else we have as long as you try and study. the president biden says one to 2 state solution for palestinians and israelis. what
8:19 am
does anybody believe it's 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? a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line. there is no title that covers world news like we do. we revisit places the state houses are really invest in that and that's a privilege. as a journalist, the the book back you're watching out of the record combined a bunch of stories here is a residential building. fits buys, rating funding, and central gaza. at least for 2 people were to bibles of hills. and striking
8:20 am
a farm and sheltering displaced families in rough. yes, but just straight down from the brink, ends on his way to egypt, where he meets president of those such i'll cc to discuss the war on java wednesday . can it kind of stay in the presence of us? that means national court of justice are set to the arguments and with it is where it is using genocide in the case of support by south africa as well to expect to offer the defense on friday. so that will help the organization has cancelled admission to northern gods, or the 6th time it's have to do so. in 2 weeks, the chief of the double hbo says it was cooled off because as well, rejected their requests and safe passage couldn't be guaranteed israel to allow them to enter and deliver humanitarian aid. that comes of 6 people were killed, including 4 from the red crescent. when it is ready, strength, an ambulance, and the out loud city. well, nick may now does that consultants, surgeon who are regularly visits, garza, he was performing surgeries, of the alexa hospitalization. his team will tell to lee last friday,
8:21 am
he explained increasing threats, facing health workers and guns are, as we saw, the beginnings of the dismantlement of i likes the hospital last week my last day operating and not like it was friday. and having spend all day operating on a lost a trauma victim, i came out to the operating today to hear that that'd be the mist solid type on the intensive k unit. that's lunchtime. so we will already see install leaving and progressively most of left off to that fee is ready, defense, full co got told us that it was no longer safe for any foreign doctors to go that because of the activities. so our team and m s f were forced to leave the hospital and what is happening now is very much
8:22 am
what we said that uh the attacks we'd be getting close to and. 0 the majority of stuff, how not have now let so i think it's look a stream the likely that i like so it will become complete disabled as a, as a health care facility. united nations security council has a dump and a resolution demanding a whole to attacks on shipping by going to the fighters in the red sea. the head of the hotel is called the move a political game and said the united states is the one violating international law . the resolution was brought forward by the united states. difficult to get it. the james base is up to you and with more as well. this is a resolution that condemns the attacks and the red sea by the who sees and says that those attacks must stop and takes notes of the rights of countries who are operating in the area to defend the, the amount of time assets. and so resolutions that i think was somewhat
8:23 am
controversial with some of the countries on the security council, particularly russia, which had problems with this resolution. in fact, russia, the last minute decided to produce its own amendments, they have 3 different amendments. the resolution they wanted past, those were voted on, they did not pause, and then the main resolution was put to the vote of the security council. and that resolution dates poss, russia, and china could have blocked it because they have a veto at the security council. they decided not to and abstained, and they would joined in that extension by mozambique. and also by algeria, which is the kind arab member of the security council. all of those countries said they were worried about the potential for a, for a tax by west and villages on who's the target. so i can tell you that is also worthy of the united nations, of the spokesperson for the united nations. secretary general said that he was
8:24 am
concerned that if there were any west in the tax and certainly secretary of state, had to meet blinking and said if they're off for the who's the attacks, that will be consequences. will that who these then that could mean something very bad for the right on the easy piece we have in yemen, off the use of all the us be working very, very hard to try and to the very front you all piece into more of a pop up piece process. the 2nd look at some of the other new stories from around the world now and the army has been deployed in a popular ginnie's capital port mostly also 15 people were killed involved in protests. armitage responded to multiple coal outs last night involving severe burns and gunshot wounds that police strike on wednesday over a pay cut escalated into violence. large crowds of people are seen looting and rioting. let's bring him catherine wilson. she's an independent gym this covering the pacific islands, including papa new guinea joins us live from sidney. catherine,
