the, the, [000:00:00;00] the 11 o'clock visits and these are life in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. one percent of the student population in garza has been systematically decimated to as a landmark hearing begins at the international court of justice in the hague. so i've after excuses this realm of committing genocide to gauge policies in guns in

the occupied westbank rallies are held in support of the case being made by south. meanwhile, is relative tax on dogs that continue at least $32.00 people have been killed in the southern city of con unit. a double trump is back in court. the closing argument to the full trial that he continues to christmas on the sir, the international courts of justice in the hague, south africa, has laid out a detailed and trimming case accusing is rather committing genocide and garza coals as well as ministry campaign a long and systematic packing, the intentional genocidal acts meant to displace and kill palestinians, advice, and reports now from the peace palace in the hague. a step by step layer by layer

the south african legal team unfolded what's been described as a historic case in front of 17 judges of the international court of justice. it's genocidal acts like israel's mass killings in gaza form just one part of the crimes perpetrated against the palestinian people since 1948. this killing is nothing short of destruction of palestinian life. it is inflicted deliberately. no one is sped. not even newborn babies to the devastation resubmit is intended to and has laid waste 2 guys a beyond any acceptable legal, let alone humane justification in order to establish intent. south africa lawyer say the court has the benefit of simply being able to listen to the words of the is for a leadership is right, is political leaders made a type of comments and pestilence,

holding official positions have systematically and an explicit tens declared that genocide the intent of the message is filtering down to the rank and file of the is really um, so you probably the south african some lawyer sent us the courts fun. urgent injunction saying in their words, the world is watching in horror. that's how genocide in gaza is unfolding as we speak. the genocide case will possibly take years to finalize and people in gaza. don't have the luxury to wait to go. an unprecedented case here at the pace palace in the hague. never before has the state laid out such a details. expensive and gruesome genocide case in front of the international court of justice. south africa has made a compelling argument that the world's highest court tooth or israel to stop its military campaign in gaza as soon as possible. urgent injunctions by the

international court of justice of binding. but the world's highest court has no power to enforce them. it will establish something very important that 3rd state countries cannot escape. this is the crime of old crimes genocide. and once the court establishes that, this is the good thing guys, at least plus the states will find it very hard to escape that as possibilities on friday is round. we'll respond to the genocide accusations. it supports us already gearing up at the bees palace to backup its defense. step 5 and l g 0. they take to say this hearing has been followed closely and the occupied palestinian territories of the united nations. and in closing his ro, i'll correspondence of holding reaction across the region. tar capital zoom is in rough or in solving does the how do i have to have made it to ramallah? chase pays that the un in new york. but 1st, that's across the tel aviv to sort of products. and so our 1st stop was being the reaction in israel to the proceedings today.

the shop is the one of the reactions so far that's been discussed on the public is writing media where they've talked about how they didn't expect this to happen. but also we've heard from the prime minister himself benjamin netanyahu, who said that if anything this isn't upside down well because as well as being accused of genocide, he said when it's like see how mosque that carries out genocide on october. the 7th, he is also said that it's chronic, carried out crimes against humanity, but also against the jewish people. they said the was since the heart of course took place. we've been hearing as well from the defense minister. yeah. go on to was speaking from the gaza strip, specifically from a fun, eunice saying, but this is the most moral and just to be in the walls because it has told

civilians to be able to leave the homes that gave them enough warning. but before carrying out as strikes, he said, as well as of course we know that they have said that they've been handing out leaflets and things that they haven't been intentionally targeting civilians. but they all this thing question, but distinguishing between civilians and between those fights is, i'm in the last few minutes we've heard from the ministry spokesman don, your head gallery as well, who in parts of his speech, some of it was in hebrew, but then he switched to english and he said that the walls will never forgets october the 7th. that's what they will insure. he says, oh to forget the captive. but he also added never again, that's our call to action. he also is then said that he wouldn't be carrying out his daily briefings on the situation in the gaza strip. and many are speculating on local t v here. but it's potentially

a sign. this is the winding down of the war in the gaza strip and whether that has anything to do with this case, it still remains to be seen. but the fact so the matter is, hey, many have also been accusing some of those fall right hard line ministers in the government. still some of the inflammatory comments thing that that has helped south africa bring that case to the hague as our and warranty is really, officials have been saying today in reactions, proceedings gives us the hands of what the defense will be. waiting is represents its response on friday. so it's still not clear what exactly will be includes the best speculation, the that will be some of the families of the caps. it's a 10 thing, it's not show and will capacity just yet. we have seen some of them speaking earlier from the hague,

but it's clear that the is riley military as well as the governments, as well as the war cabinet i believe. and this will, it seems to be that defense that they have done this out of self defense. and in the was of many today they've said that they didn't choose to go to war, but it was forced upon them when they were attacked by how modest and some of the reasons as i was just mentioning audio will, will potentially see some evidence that evidence to provide to say that they did one of those civilians that they didn't allow them safe passage through the current doors. and then for the israelis who they believed that this is a quotes in some was of those hit public opinion. they all concerned, even though this isn't legally binding, but they know on the international stage and where they do cash for their reputation. this could have why the implications and could smuggle farther into

a situation where they will be losing in that was as well. the info will us to this will in gaza. it sorry, thanks for that. sorry heart the in it tell a vive, well, palestinians in gaza say they have mixed feelings about the court hearing at the hague. some feel hopeful and proud of south africa for bringing that case to the international court of justice. other say they've lost faith in the world's legal systems and then measure off his eyes in what is going on. and guns are right now, most revitalized the international institutions and must reactivate the role of the international system. well, the world must investigate what has been done in gone, so can see, and i'm taking this matter to the court gives all citizens confidence that there are few people in the world who still believe in justice. and i come off the list, any of the but the i hope is a palestinian citizen living in garza for a decision in favor of the palestinians. in reality, we haven't yet found any decision that can help us to return to north gaza, or to bring

a change to our real life. the situation here in rafa is miserable. women and children of the ones who suffer the most. we want the international court of justice to help us and to stop these riley genocide against the palestinians. the will must come to an end. we need to go back to our house and live in freedom and peace. and lo do. why do i'm not gonna, i don't trust this cool and i don't trust the outcome is joe knows everything about the outcome. and the result, even before the court session is held, is ro is committing genocide and gaza. an israel knows the result in advance. we are the defense, this palestinians standing alone without any support from arabs seduce and the well let's go to that job then a shot. the whole of guys is tired and the people are exhausted. i don't trust the international politics. the only free, honest country in the world is south africa. i hope other countries, on the hour of countries in particular, will follow in the footsteps of south africa. let's bring it in talking about

assume who's in reference of the gaza and target. assume as these proceedings go, one of the, hey, people in dallas remove worried about just staying alive on the a yes, this is the main concern among palestinians right now on the these are rustic situations that have been going through east coast and trade be that day to afford them secure the food supplies as we are talking about a very limited access of humanitarian age being allowed to enter the territory as parents the day where he taught every morning lineup for long hours to get access to very partial amounts of food was in order to return back again to the kids and family to make shift tons to feed, just to count more days of fighting on the ground to be passed without being injured or killed. and this is, this is the main hope for thomas to use just to survive for the next day. the don't have any long term plans to just concentrate on the day how they can live and how

they can afford what's a for washing for at least chavez. and this is a part of the biggest struggle for them and their emissions. and we've been also hearing today and the mission report sites that we people were waiting for the humanitarian aids to reach to gaza as they were on their way to them. but these very forces had attacked the residents as they were gathering on rashid rode the coast on line where some type of thing is that had been injected due to this military strikes even throughout the process of searching for suited kind of thing has happened ended as we'll say this situation is very dramatic for pet rent plus children and also for the people in terms of folding them with care. and also can you trust in which become for the majority of palestinians, very, very poor due to the amount of age that have been allowed to enter the territory. and also the preferences that i'd also making just to make sure that children are

having sufficient amount of food to survive and to feed on target co. c a. so the strikes go on, wants to be not meal, not from a day by day in every single line to an hourly basis. the tax on gauze a strip did not stop were in the last few hours. these very forces have expanded the minute you a text to solve their part where the attack that had been when we have the reporting on rough, i had rise in the test told to reach more than 7 palestinians being killed. officer residential building and rough. i've being slots and, and level to the ground by the is very fine to just along side with ongoing confrontations on han, you and a city where the non post kind of thing is being killed. since the early hours of today's morning had dries into $32.00 palestinians being killed and also we have been hearing from our resources that on the ground that they are ongoing bombardments in the parts of the of the city where elimination is less. oh, so i would like to know the sky of this city,

which signifies that the situation does completely complicated and dramatic as people day by day are evacuating more to a roof. and also the situation that is repeated and similar to the ongoing bombardment that is taking place on the middle coordinates of gauze, a strip as bustle and clashes on to say right. a break depends on what kinds of refuge account and independent areas keep going. me and the policy and scientists, and they used to be so just as they are conducted that differently and the ongoing destruction also of the civil infrastructure, the and the main central gates of each town and direct you to come and the pos of gauze. that's the picture from rafa in the southern gaza target losing. thank you. when a riley is being held a reminder in the occupied westbank in support of south africa's genocide case against israel, palestinian prime minister mohammed shut you as being at the gathering. he held the south african flag as he repeated his backing of its case in the hay is killing

20000, but as being young and does that is not 0 side. what is your side? this is stan, getting 60000 but as the nose in does up is not the general side. what the 0 side, if this drawing to a 171000, the houses then does that is not genocide. what the 0 side, it's for start spending 1600000. but as being us from the solve is not doing a side. what is the general side? is that i to day one knows its days when when, when does that gaze? when would it be in victoria? yes. across live to ramallah and the occupied west bank. now hold on to how much is that for us and hold on how the policy is the view at these proceedings and the ice you or well, certainly there's a sense that uh, the police to news are beginning to be a vindicated in the sense of south africa,

of both their plight into the limelight on such an international plot for what south africa has been putting forward at the international court of justice and they, hey, it's something policing is talk about every day over and over again. so certainly hearing that a problem with the south african legal team is something that has boded very well with palestinians. they also hold that, and this will start a process of reversing the image that they have in some parts of the world by listing is always complaining that when it comes to the west, when he comes to the western media, when it comes to what is set what comes out of washington? they are always so that's the bad guys. they are all is the human eyes and when it comes to their flags, well, they have been double sanders. they always compare. for example,

of late. their situation with this situation of the ukraine is and they compare the reaction of washington of european powers to russia's occupation of eastern parts of southern new grade to their own, to the occupation they have been dealing with for more than half a century. and they say that there has been a complete double stand and many other students. i've always been off what i've always been asking, wow, that's why when it comes to us, well, the human rights do not apply. why do we have to be treated with a different sets of standards? so that is something that is boding very well with them. now, what is the expectation? what is a priority? ask anyone and the answer will be, say, should of her still it is in the as truth wed for humanitarian, a to come in as quick as possible in much larger quantities up by the

sinews. know very well israel. they live side by side of for many decades, and they know that even though you know the outcome of this could take years, they know that even if a provision of measure calling for a ceasefire is which of the short term israel could very well ignore that and the war could go on, so that remove the priority for any part listed in if you are here that have been watching a frustrated for the last 9 to 6 days. the war unfolding on the fellow by listing isn't guys. oh, hold on, thanks for that. hold on. i don't have it. the in ramallah from ramallah. let's head over to new york to you and h q, united nations headquarters. different the editor change based study by for us the james, of course, the international court of justice is the highest you in court. they will be watching proceedings very closely. a yeah, it's one of the major organs of the united nations,

one of the 5 major organs and the only one that's all based here in new york. so yes, being watched very, very closely. in fact, the spokes person for the 2nd just general and he gave a briefing a little earlier said the 2nd general was following developments very, very closely and also made the point that the secretary general expects o u. n. member states to comply with any ruling that of the international court of justice issues. and of course we're not talking about a final ruling on genocide. we're talking about what they called provisional measures. and those could be an order to israel to stop that bombardment of gauze. now that is relevant here, the un in new york because the international court of justice doesn't have any trips. it doesn't have any enforcing power enforcement would have to happen at the un security council. and as you know, the un security council has been deadlocked for 3 months now with the us having a very firm position as a permanent member,

the security council blocking any resolution, procedures, firefight. they've done that 3 times. now, i think the question comes, if it's still a big, if the international court of justice decides to issue provisional measures and decides to order a halt to israel's bombardment, then what would the us do if it came to the security council? as i say, the us is used to $3.00 to $3.00 times, but would present bite and be prepared to use the veto again, against the resolution that backs the ruling of the world's highest cold. remember, present button is made it very clear that he sees the us as a guardian of the world's rules by 2 based order. and of course, the international court of justice is the top court in that international rules based order and data. plenty of stake. james, thanks a lot transfers in your it's not a funeral for a man killed by is ready for it, isn't your name has been taking place. he was killed when the

military rated several areas in the occupied west bank. currently on thursday, at least 10 palestinians were arrested, is ready forces of step. then like the searches in the wake of the war on garza, the architecture of state has left egypt and see final stop of his latest diplomatic tourism, at least as the blinking hell talks with president of the photo cc and kyra blanket said, offering a pos way to a palestinian state is the best way to stabilize the white region, as well as isolating around and is proxies. washington continues to support as well as offensive and gaza and has refused to cool for a cease fire. escalating tensions along the level and israel border prompted west, in different months to meet and pay route to discuss potential solutions. one of the proposals reportedly involves his blog pulling away from the border. they don't hold as much. this is rose, army is warning of more aggressive military action against has the law if it

doesn't stop attacking its positions and pull back from the border. but it's official say they will also give a chance for diplomacy. the lebanese armed group to appears ready for a political settlement, but not before as well as war on garza and i'm any i'll shoot them in most a few days ago. how's the secretary general has on the throne? the said this battle created an opportunity to liberate every inch of lebanese land, and that appears to be what us envoy amos hausten is looking to discuss with loving these officials. the possibility of starting negotiations on ending territorial disputes along the lab border as a way of containing the conflict. hausten wasn't as well last week. i think you've all heard what the government in israel has said, which is that there is a narrow window, but that they prefer a diplomatic solution. i think that is the case we have. we're living in

a crisis moment where we would like to see a diplomatic solution, and i believe that both sides are preferred diplomatic solution is our job to get one splits asked may take times, the prime minister's office says the u. s. is looking for a middle ground to reduce tensions before a final deal can be worked out. in the early days of the conflict 11 on the prime minister said the decision for war or peace was lost in his government's funds. now he says the country is ready for talks on long term stability on a southern border with as many interpret this as approval from a more powerful has the loss for indirect negotiations to begin 11 on step you, the speaker of parliament played a role in, in direct negotiations that lead to the maritime border deal between 11 on and as well in 2022 and says, or is not the solution is on have the auto stop if the objective is to return

settlers today settlements in the north, we have the same objective, which is the returnable lebanese villages to they bought a villages and fox, the solution should come through diplomatic means. and no one can find any other solution. violence is escalating on the ground, but the warring sites are still limiting their attacks on military targets and keeping them largely to the board or at least for now does that include their else as you know, they don't to give her rights what just release report highlights in this situation in any $100.00 countries that monitor during the past year, it includes israel and palestine. it describes the level of attacks and killings is unprecedented in recent history. situation dramatically escalated to close after october. the 7th since then is ready for us. is it destroyed 46000 times in gaza, 23234002 be damaged. is really a strikes of a type of blockade to force most of gauze as hospitals to close the doors wastewater,

the selling nation facilities in bakeries of also shot. the reports accuses from us and other palestinian groups of deliberately killing civilians. committing a range of abuses during the attack in israel in october toronto, his son is the executive director of human rights sports. and she says there must be accountability for human suffering and rights violations in gaza and in other parts. well, of the situation in gaza is dia, throughout research since the beginning of the conflict, human rights watch is documented, war crimes being committed, including the crime of starvation as a weapon of war. also collective punishment through the restriction to fund to basic food was a fuel and life saving humanitarian assistance, which has been imposed by these really blockade. so, you know, the situation in goblet is desperate and it requires

a immediate response from the international community and what we seen today, i think with the international court of justice, hearing south africa is application of that. and they are arguing that israel has violated its obligations under the genocide convention. is an important signal for the people of gaza and to the world that they must be accountability for will crime instead of being committed in gaza. either there was also being crimes that were committed inside israel and they also demand accountability. but this is not the only conflict in the world where we see the world looking away and not bringing the full force to re good. that is required to bring justice and accountability and to stop civilian suffering. the situation into don, for example, in the da full region has full enough the agenda. we see thousands of people who are being displaced, women who is being victims of sexual violence and the targeting of the muscle, it ethnic group. and you know that that has received no international attention and

requires the same level of commitment to ensure accountability that we saw in context like ukraine, where we saw the international community throw all of the tools in the human rights and accountability tool kit. at the situation, we saw our investigations, we've seen, i cc rivera was, we seen domestic invest investigations by country to we were prepared to put resources in to investigate and prosecute war crimes in ukraine. and if anything ukraine shows us what is possible when the world stands up and takes violations of international humanitarian law seriously. and we should expect nothing less from the other conflicts. and the world from me in march to ethiopia, to sudan to gaza. human rights watch for portals erased, serious concerns about the welfare and treatments of people in numerous african countries. i might even cases of rape, intimidation, and mass killings are i'm

a tester has more not from her are to the human rights. what support says? african government must do more to protect the rights of citizens. some countries have elections this year. i've is a still dealing with violence and in security. conflicts in saddam the democratic republic of congo, the central african republic need. the rights activists are concerned about reports of rapes, mass, intimidation, and adoptions and killings. in this, the hill region and some parts of west africa. i'm groups displacing communities in those areas setting go has an election in february last year. rise, group said opposition we need isn't some support as well. harassed, intimidates, interested by security forces rights groups have back is still happening at the moment in southern africa rights activists are concerned about the shrinking of democratic space. and goal is to come to a opposition group,

say it's extremely difficult for them to protest and seek out against the government slots. the land which is now called is with teeny, is a country where people say that sometimes dangerous to speak out against the king. and then you have them get tons of to watch very, very close the last. yeah. we so opposition leaders and some of it isn't support his say that they being systematically harassed by people from the governing party . we so the former president delugas saying that he is also being positive with speaking out against the current government of the day. and here in zimbabwe, we still getting reports from opposition, supporters and rights activists. and these adoptions of the systematic targeting and torture of opposition supported. and some opposition members are still languishing in jail. harden with us out of their a slow head here. and i'll just narrow around caesar's an oil tanker. it's the st vessel of washington to from to iran last year. as part of sanctions and the streets of ecuador deserts,

the government accessible from truck the highway i'll set to hang onto that cold and quiet weather across the good parts of here. but things will slow the changes we go on through the weekend. here's our massive area of high pressure, which is keeping it settled. we have got some strongly conditions. having said that, just around the met, it's right in the survey pressure will make his way further. east was another area of life pressure just around western russia, and that's producing some outbreaks of sleet and snow and introducing cold rabbits, the winds coming from move and they'll be direction most skype minus 14 celsius, tiny cold enough, but at least it will be try. they lost some snow. sure. i was just around the boat 6 days and we'll see where to win the weather. just creeping back into wes, scandinavia i with the next day or 2. this is a sort of

a change just pushing it across and we'll discuss it on friday. sinking further south, which is a weakening system. it's not a lot on it, but it would introduce automotive, coal, plastic. so you have a big wayne dyer. i seen the decatur story when the gas, the condition is coming in across the no say pushing down towards germany for the low countries most know around about 6 days that tons of weather that we have across the eastern side of the med beginning to ease off for the westwood, grassy season with the weather coming at the portable for much despite it is dry so they show us that we have in the mediterranean. they will bring some wet weather to the fall north of algae area, grassy moving all the way. it's egypt. the frank assessments to the problem is that is there is allowed to be outside that. and so it's international that's a be that the, it is the fact that is it and has declared war on okay. parts people who informed

opinions the medical infrastructure of an entire society has been completely destroy the people who will feel that destruction 1st and most be the women and children. inside story on al jazeera, unique perspective of africans are willing to change and the street speakers in the sense of urgency that we have. if we don't, no 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 talking to 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 your, the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the kind of guy you're watching out 0 or one of our top stores as well. and south africa is asking international criminal court of justice to urgently fold what it says. a genocidal acts carried out by his ready forces in golf country once the you and the top cold to issues. so cold provisional measures to or to israel to end. it's for some people and you all just say they feel hopeful. now this case is being abroad, but it's run is still turning out and strikes on strip. at least 32 palestinians have been killed and con unice since thursday morning. and romano riley has been held in support of south africa is genocide case against israel, palestinian prime minister habits, which yet has been not together. he expressing his pull back well, friday is going to be the 2nd day of the proceedings of the international court of

justice is rather is expected to defend itself against accusations of genocide made by south africa. both countries are allowed to appoint one judge to the panel. that is hearing the case, israel's chosen. it's for my supreme court president aaron brock. the 87 year old was born in lithuania and his survivor holocaust. his parents moved to the british mandated palestine in 1947 a year before the creation of the state of israel brah cuz showed support for his relatable and gaza. and his claim tc no evidence of israel has violated international humanitarian law. in an interview with the canadian newspaper, the globe and mail, he said it may be proportional to kill 5 innocent kids in order to target the leader. and they all get the rules of collateral damage. permit the killing of policy and fight is even if that leads to the depths of children. this view was approved by barrack himself in a 2006. the prim court ruling for actors also justified the costing of fuel to the gaza strip, stating it may have been used by policy and fighters,

and he's referred to these ready governments conduct of the war by saying, i agree totally with what the government is doing. michael ink is professor emeritus at the western university in london, alterra. and he told us, or what he thinks israel will focus on when they present a case on friday. this isn't simply a legal case, but it's a political case playing out on the theater of public opinion around the world. and it's the thing. so i think that it has some case to be able to make in a evergreen back to south africa. it's going to argue, i suspect tomorrow, this is an educated guess, that it will probably use for each uh for what happened on october 7th and, and also, what are you self defense? those. those will be, is probably the best 2 arguments i can think of. israel wondering why not raising, but it recognizes a huge reputational consequences of any finding by the court and in provisional

measures with respect to a plausible case of genocide being filed against that. so this is why it has contrary to its previous pattern showing up to one of the able to, to argue this, um, at the, at the court. and i just as a side inspect, we'll see plenty of arguments around those 2 particular issues or something atrocious. happened on october 7th. and israel had the right and the necessity defendants. people by going out for him. awesome guys. when you're in a week. ringback position as a lawyer representing the client. you want to try to argue you're, you're very, you're very best fax and focused on try to get the core to focus on those and draw them away from the arguments, the facts and the wall that the other side has done. i must say, having watched the south african presentation of the day, this really was a top drawer, a case example of advocacy. all the lawyers laid out like an extremely persuasive

and strongly made case. and that reflects, you know, the, the top drawer application. that's all that african made 2 weeks ago to the court, 84 pages, single spaced, or 560 put notes, arguing the facts, and the law and the need for a provisional measures. and that was all echoed today by the lawyers and very calm, measured fashion. so let's take this on further bringing in. normally the single sign in new york is a political scientist and all the of the holocaust industry. i'm stuffing is done well controlled 0 thanks for joining us. we'll get on to what you want me to happen on friday the 2nd day, but 1st off, what were your thoughts of today's proceedings as well today? so the savings that were very professional. so he might expect they have to senior jurors a respected senior jury. so i'm their team, john, do guard, he's

a tenant, an international law expert. and he's also expert on these as well, palestine conflict, he wants to your special rep or tour on palestine. so he's very cognizant with the updated facts on the ground with the dish and they have a whole on low another british, a british bowers there. and he had argued the case before the international court of justice on the wall. that is where i was building, get the west bank of the if your actual court justice ultimately ruled the world. why are laid into national lot. so gun mart called the victory for one low. he was also on the panel this morning. and then the other jurors were very eloquent, and they were, even though they used very measured words, and they made a point they study to the euros images,

which might be extremely evocative. but i'm not so sorry. and their point of view, because reg strolled the words themselves juxtaposed with the letter of the law, put together the words and the letter, the little red dot would carry the day. everybody could persuade life, okay. and is that something you think that will be replicated when the, when hiring barrak, this is the former is ready. supreme court judge will be who david saying is randy's defense when he addresses the court tomorrow. do you think they're going to take the same tackle or how will that approach it? and i think there's a certain confusion on your part. so allow me to clarify it. so number one, it's not. who's the rock? it's our wall that rock rock, who's the former prime minister. any direct was the former president of the is really supreme court. you know, if you just, you, i did say that you just missed have a bit to call you on your, excuse me,

the r m. he is not actually on the is really to, he's one of the judges on the, i see you're under the arc. see, judge rollings, if your cartridge does not have a charge on the case, you're allowed to point one. so both south africa is real pointed or judge to the court and all around the rock is the israel, the judge, the actual case, the lead figure is another british brought restore, named malcolm shaw. no, i wouldn't want to make as a preliminary remark that the south african delegation, even though it was very actual or i made a very incredible presentation. it was at a serious disadvantage because the is really delegation, did not get a written submission. me job being the case solver, i forgot, didn't have

a clue what the is really is would be arguing. whereas the is really, is have the double advantage. the number one, the south africans submitted a complaint. what mean to $84.00 pages? so okay, so we always know exactly what arguments would be made, right? consequences like those are the, are we just way way out of time? can i just just write this question? not you just as we wind up, how do you think the 4 things will pan out on the next few days as well, my guess is v is really is, are not going to argue the facts because the facts and so overwhelmingly against them too. they're going to try to argue the law. they're going to say, even though all of your facts are true, it still doesn't rise through the threshold of genocide. so my guess is the focus on the definition,

the precedence for the termination of genocide. i make the claim that people have every thing. so africa says it's brief and it's for me project. it's oral presentation where true. it's still running to the well show of genocide. all right, we'll see how things develop as we get into the 2nd day of the hearing of the i c j . i know if it goes on thanks very much indeed. thank you. you're welcome. the alright, let's bring you some of the days of the news. now in the us of a condemned around caesar of an oil tanker in the gulf. as a month, chris reported to have been boarded by armed intruders need the money case before its tracking device was turned off and it turned towards the wrong is kind more than a $100000.00 tons of crude oil. the vessel named thess nicholas was seized by the united states last year over sanctions imposed on iran website departments has

cooled on to around to release the vessel of the iranian government must immediately release the ship and its crew. this unlawful seizure of a commercial vessel is just the latest behavior by iran, or enabled by iran, aimed at disrupting international commerce. we believe this kind of action will simply add uncertainty for commercial shipping and for regional and global economy use iran and iran abled provocative actions like this are a menace to the global economy. and it must cease. we in the united states will continue to work through the turn and confront the full range of iran concerning and the stabilizing behaviors. let's cross live to washington. now mike kind of joins us and like, what else have we heard from us on this seizure? well, certainly view it as, as deeply concerned on the seizure of the ship. what appears to be a to tennessee hill, though the full circumstances are being looked at,

but it's got to be looked at in a wider context to i'm going to see mr. hollow texts and the red sea now and apparently a rainy in the seizure of a vessel in the gulf of a month. now this is all linked to in the us intelligence view to what is happening in gaza and the why the middle east. and it has since the beginning of the gauze of conflict being expressed and concerned about the potential for the conflict to spread. and in the situation like you have now the seizure of the time to the messiah tax on, via, and ships in the red sea. this is all part of the deep concern. this is what the state department spokesman had to say. this is different and these kinds of determinations need to be made with a close look at the law and the facts and of these uh allegations that israel is committing genocide are and found it. that being said, uh,

we have been clear to israel that they not only must comply with international humanitarian law in its operations against hamas, but it needs to take off a feasible steps to prevent civilian harm. also, we have been clear with regional partners who have relationships or influence with home us. uh that uh, any steps that they would be interested in taking to seize hostilities to release hostages, to take steps away from their self plate claim to goal repeating, october 7 again. and again and again and again. so mike, just a little bit more about what state department has been saying about this case. yes indeed, the apologies for that that was the state department speaking about the i c j issue, the state department being very clear that it believes the accusations pulled by

south africa and some other states have no foundation whatsoever. the state department spokesman not being wanting to be drawn on the merits of the case, saying that israel will respond to the case itself in the proceedings on friday. but very clearly that you have the state department giving that position that has been that of the us throughout the saying that the accusations of genocide are boundless. this, despite the fact that in 2022, within hours of russia invading ukraine, the president of the united states was describing that as a genocide. mike, thanks for that. mike kind of reporting that from washington dc. thank you. as well for president donald trump as left court, after the closing arguments was full truck speakers, he left the court room. he denied any wrong doing. trump was accused of

exaggerating his wealth and financial statements given to banks and the 2 insurance companies. it could be find as much as $370000000.00. i don't want to use as a to christmas, a neighbor who is outside the cold house in new york state prison to that's more about what's been happening today. for closing arguments had been taking place inside the court house behind me, the team of attorneys, representing the state of new york is giving their summation. now,

earlier it was the defense, and donald trump speaking as well, both inside the court room and outside the court room as we just saw inside the court room getting a chance to address the judge who will decide this case. making much of the same argument. he's been making outside the court room accusing this case of being a political witch hunt against him. accusing the state attorney general a woman by the name of leticia james, who happens to be a democrat of going after him and suing him for political purposes to better her own political career. and echoing the argument in layman's term, that is being made by his lawyers that essentially, if team to stated any of his assets, that doing so did not hurt anyone that no one was hurt by his over valuing of his property. the attorney general's team, however,

has said that the former president has committed, persistent fraud and outrageously over valuing his assets for bank loans and for insurance purposes. the judge in this case has had a very contentious relationship with the former president has already ruled in the states favour in this case in terms of the claims of fraud. he is now considering 6 other claims that they put forward and the extent of damages that president trump and his co defendants which include his 2 sides, will have to pay as punishment. the attorney general has suggested as much as $370000000.00 in damages, and the president also stands to lose his right to do business here in new york, the heart of his real estate empire. the final decisions from the judge are not expected for several days. if not weeks,

he's promised to try to get it done by the end of the month. but we do expect whatever his decision the the president does plan to appeal that the decision going forward. kristin thinks that because it's telling me that a new york, this is still a head here and i'll just sarah, i'm katrina, you're in sean and china just across the street from taiwan. and i'll explain how the government here is what every time to influence the results of the upcoming time on

the the, [000:00:00;00] the,

[000:00:00;00] the, and the federal aviation administration and united states as long as to form an investigation into the boeing 737 max. knowing the announcement follows the emergency line, they give an alaska airlines flight last week, often emergency door fellow, mid flight regulate, just as incident should never have happened. it cannot happen again. investigation levels have pro would it cost additional discrepancy with f? a safety regulations. security forces have been deployed on the streets of several cities and equitable offices. the government declared warrant drugs, gangs becomes and made violence in the countries. prisons with a $178.00 and other stuff being held hostage. and it's under a ramp, yet it has more not from the capital of key to the day after gang members looted stores and terrified people in keep those historic center. the streets usually brimming with locals in terrace,

were desolate. most stores were closed as were schools and public offices. the area close to the presidential palace cordoned off with soldiers on patrol. alex it was that who kept his stall closed, says he showed up to protect his belongings. a yellow one which also killed yesterday was terrifying. people running desperately up and down the road. 3 in the afternoon. we have to close. it's very dangerous. we are all afraid will be robbed or worse. sentiments of anguish and worried that others who ventured out to share the scene, we call and go to walk. in this situation, children con, go to school. our country is in pieces. we need the president to solve this because it's going to is that the president then union, a boy who declare to the state of emergency on monday and order that criminal gangs be neutralized on tuesday. met with diplomats and international organizations, saying the violence was

a reaction to his plans of building new hi security prisons. you promise not to back down in announced he would begin to the port 1500 for them, prisoners, mostly colombians, to cut the number of inmates a vendor on. so that's coming to living in the state of war against terrorism. these on hold and nice crime groups that terrible, some of whom would finance themselves with drug trafficking and some others with people smuggling and organs as well as weapons. most likewise, organs are still trying to make sense of what has been on the precedent today. of similar pain use violence in many cities. tension remains palpable. streets are empty even at rush hour as keep the an ac whether prepare for another night of the curfew. and the crisis is far from over the still incidents in clashes in various parts of the country. as the armed forces operation continues. this wave of violence was triggered by the disappearance of a conflict. it's criminal, the government hope to transfer, but it's only the latest in the country,

increasingly in the grips of ever more violent and the science gangs. alexander, i'm 50, i just the key to be taught with these governments is accused china re interfering in the upcoming elections by engaging in addition, information campaigns this way voted. badging believes the island is a rogue chinese territory and that's been putting pressure on his people to accept re unification. katrina, he reports now from china, is a southern region from chinese leaders have branded ty, ones, upcoming elections, a choice between 0 and peace. they wrapped up military pressure, sending hundreds of jets close to the islands territory, economic pressure, light and entire of cuts on chemical impulse, a and diplomatic pressure which link away at time once shrinking list of official allies. taiwanese leaders have also the cues. china of using corvette tactics,

they include an online distance, a nation campaign to slay boards in favor of probation candidates, and so distrust and the governing democratic progressive party. otp analysts say this includes spreading content about food shortages and political and sex scandals that amplify those complex issues like psalm, oh, skin those from ttp and also some like ex shortage and also some uh vaccine. uh, problems of corruption issue they gene believes the self cause of diamond is a part of china. and we use the cation is inevitable. something the d p. p and outgoing lead it saying would refuse to accept cross street tensions have sold since or election in 2016. and the ging says equal escalation. if the d p piece you can do lighting to 60 to per watching. and why does the d p p authority stop a legal their own way?

not just the to prepare for war, but also to cause or they use entire one time into battlefield. i serve as kind of the folder for taiwan independence, aging prefers opposition policy. the proven ton, ok mt, which one's close. that ties with china. it's the only party in official contact with the chinese government. chinese officials have denied during the elections. people here just across the street from taiwan will be watching the results closely . the chinese government has introduced measures to encourage what it calls integration between the 2 sides, including making it easier for taiwanese people to travel, study work, and do trade on the mainland regions. message china is not a bully, but a friend of taiwan. something both is going to the polls best. remember, katrina used shellman city for jen, province, china. the people in eastern entities are being forced to flee after volcanoes.

elect states as was raised to the highest level. mount level to be lucky, lucky is spewing asked to come to the public. the local authorities were established to temporary shelters, which a currently housing, about $5000.00 people. and that being forced to evacuate, that's it for me and the clock. this is uh, i'll be back in just a couple minutes, have another half hour. these are the being a journalist is that prison. i get to the heart of the story amplified the voices of those who have been drowned out by the noises of war is my driving force is what pushes me to take risks. we're just going to try to pick up is

a safer position. reading the trying to find the words the truth is that challenge and the huge responsibility issues and decision makers in check. so the devastating you and tossed up their decisions. the reason the soldiers base themselves in this house is because it's the edges of the janine refugee cab. and from here they have, it's the view of working at the 0 enables me to make that positive voice as relevant to so that this mode that unites us, that divides us. it is a tenant object to produce objectives these coverage. many parts of his really media are effectively engaging in propaganda or genocide. what these really military was telling us does not fit in with what evidence they have so far. and yet on the fringes of israeli public discourse and seeing more voices persist sale,

calling the races the listening close covers how the news is come to watch this space for where the story goes. next. frank assessments to the problem is that is there is allowed to be outside that and so to international that's a be the is the fact that is it and has declared war on okay. parts people who informed opinions the medical infrastructure of an entire society has been completely destroy the people who will feel that destruction 1st and most be the women and children. inside story on al jazeera of the one percent of the student population in gauze has been systematically decimate as a landmark hearing begins at the international court of justice in the hey,
