people's informed opinions, the medical infrastructure of an entire society has been completely destroyed. the people who will feel that destruction 1st and most will be the women and children inside story. on al jazeera, 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 hay sought after accusing, threaten of committing genocide, gage, palestinians into us, the around the clock. this is your life and also coming up in the occupied westbank rallies are held in support of the case being made by sometimes. meanwhile, as well as a tax on down to continue,

destruction of palestinian life. it is inflicted deliberately. no one is sped, not even newborn babies. kings comes, it is started legal proceedings against israel in the union's highest legal body. looking to show a patent of large scale, homicidal destruction now qualifies as acts of genocide for the past. 96 days is where it has subjected godsa to what has been described as one of the heaviest, conventional bombing campaigns in the history of modern will. fair. south africa is arguing israel's military campaign since thomas's attack on the southern israel on october. the 7th has been nothing short of a systematic destruction in whole or in part of palestinians as the population group. as we stand today, one percent of the student population in gaza has been systematically

decimated as the account in order to establish intent. south africa's lawyers say the court has the benefits of simply being able to listen to the words of these really leadership is right, is political leaders made a type of comments and pestilence, holding fish on positions have systematically and an explicit tens declared that genocide, the intent of messages filtering down into the rank and file of these rate. the only thing proud the met him president genocide language says 10 big a new kind of toby comes from the very tall to no side. i told him, says oh, the full, not all spin the fringes. they are then boarded in states pointlessly, palestinians of separate 75 years of oppression. 57 years of occupation and 16

years of a siege on garza. and for all that time, israel for use has regarded itself as beyond and above the law. as to you in special reference here on the occupied pedestal, post interior cheese explained in 2022 and not quite the occupation by israel has been conducted in profound defiance of international and hundreds of united nations resolutions with scant pushed back from the international community. outside the court in the streets of ramallah and occupied westbank. and among those crammed into an ever smaller sliver of land in gaza. saw that because given a hope to it, people crying out for the suffering to be seen and the tree, the dying to be heard. michael level l to 0. 2 occupied east jerusalem. honda solutions dining by for us the what's being the reaction is in israel to the

proceedings of a today, a reaction from across the aisle and is really political rounds. let's 1st talk about these really prime minister's comments. who said that this is hypocrisy, and that these really is, will do everything they can to refuse the lies all while continuously fighting the war. he says that these really army is the most just and more all army in the world . now the defense minister, a young wife, golan speaking in the 2nd largest city of guns and han eunice, saying that the army quote differentiates between those who are involved and uninvolved civilians. and in fact, they provide the passage way for aid for those uninvolved civilians who are not targeted. but again, time and time again. the reality on the ground paints a much different picture given how many civilians have been killed in israel's war

on gaza. you also have comments from the is really army spokesperson, daniel, how god, who echoed every thing. the prime minister and the defense minister had been saying, but there is no war that is more just than this one. there is no army that is more moral than these rarely army and that these ro, we've will not allow the world to forget october 7th. but you're also hearing from is really media who says that perhaps comments by right wing ministers in the government known ult for nationalists are fuel and more evidence for south africa's case against israel. that the language used by ministers. like you to more bend we're and best that is smote rich about wanting to displace palestinians from gaza about wanting to rebuild the legal settlements. but he also of language from ministers at the very top, like the defense minister, who called for a complete siege on gauze up in the early days of the war, no water, no fuel,

no food, no medical supplies. so all of this is being taken into account, but the is rarely political speak air on both sides of the aisle. even the opposition has come out and said that this is hypocrisy. and that these really will do everything they can to defend their case. right, and that effort starts tomorrow friday when they present their response. what can we expect to think well, these really are going to argue that they do everything they can to protect civilians from being killed. they're going to say that they dropping leaflets. busy for civilians to evacuate, to quote safe zones. but again, we have to say the time and time again, these displaced post indians have been going to be safe zones. and han eunice, and the address only to be met with ongoing is really bombardment. they're. they're also going to say that this is a war that was waged on them and that they have the right to defend themselves in the face of those attacks that happened on october the 7th. so these really say

that they have a case against south africa to defend themselves. but again, they are saying that this is all hypocrisy and that they are going to be victorious in this war. and that's no matter what this war is going to continue having to salute that and occupy the interest of them. thank you as well. palestinians and gaza say they have mixed feelings about the cold hearing at the hague. some feel hateful, i'm proud of south africa to bring in that case the international court adjust. others say they've lost faith in the world's legal systems. and then measure off is as in what is going on and guns are right now must revitalize 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 that i'm taking this matter to the quote gives all citizens confidence that there are few people in the world who still believe in justice. and i can watch enough list any of the but

the i hope is a palestinian citizen living in gaza for 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 disrupting is rarely 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 love, do we do. i'm not going to. i don't trust is 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, dis, palestinians standing alone without any support from arabs seduce and the well let's go to that. i've been a shot. the whole of guys is tired and the people are exhausted. i don't trust the international politics. the only freedom on this country in the world is south

africa. i hope other countries and the arab countries in particular with following the footsteps of south africa. well, tar capitalism is in reference, southern gods, or an anti imagine the situation there is such that people who are worried about staying and lives in what's going on at the hague. so yes, that's completely to the main coast in tracing and consensual palestinians right now is to know how to survive date by the end of fluids to the basic necessities within. they say you've also they are paying attention for what's happening with the international court of justice as they have been also the, today's hearing the course had tree. good. you blame of hope for the palestinians just to bring more justice for them as they have been on the going through very dramatic country, rustic days of fighting on the ground. the other parts of palestinians completely do not trustworthy international communities saying, due to the fact that they don't do it,

they didn't do anything since the beginning of this round of fighting because their houses have been completely destroyed here for thousands. and also they have been given completely ongoing hot chips that they have been suffering from. so literally we can say that they are waiting for more resolutions that might bring and guarantee the return back again to the houses and to rebuild what have been destroyed by these very ongoing defense of, of course, costs a strict, but the general sentiment is a sense of hope that is mixed with sadness that there till now there is no ending international resolution could be made. just just talked to gina sides of the tax on them as they are also hoping for a kind of permanent ceasefire that would bring an end for the fighting inside the territory. it's hard to say all the wild strikes still being carried out a yes, strikes for land sea and also from the middle of insurance and the ground continue

to show a residential buildings across the seller charts. in particular, we have been recruiting since danielle is up to this morning about what happened. yeah, of course gall, so strip and especially for the southern sick. so in rough i and bought to collect the last hour knowing palestinians have to report that killed off to the residential building, that there were taking refuge inside have been completely leveled to the ground. and the majority of injuries have being transported to on the job. hospitals for medical treatment alongside with ongoing shooting also as well. for han you to 60, which had been the csf with a manager of operations. as the is ready, as is well, is mobilizing more troops to fight and that densely populated area and the attacks have been carried out today against a civil call that had been directly hit also in the vicinity of another hospital in a central areas of con, units and we also have been hearing from residents, ive, as we have been contacting them today about the situation in the middle. great. but

also as our colleagues, that have been reporting that they have been going also through completely dire situation as well. but me continue to show buildings alongside with civil infrastructure, just to force residents to flee more to a rough but rough activity had been targeted. and the entire territory had been under wide military attack since the hours of today's morning. and this is a part of what is happening inside goals. in the past few hours, a target thinks about the target, i presume, the in reference some jobs while it riley is being held. the reminder in the occupied westbank in support of south africa's genocide case against israel, published a new private as to how much it was that the gathering he repeated his backing if the case being had in the heck is killing 20000. but as being young and does, that is not genocide what the human side, this is in 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 song is not genocide. what does human side is? try to day one knows its days when when, when does that gaze away with it being victorious? what is being the reaction to the events of the hague from the, by the administration that mike kinda joins is not from washington a might. so a state department spokesman has been speaking about the case of the south africa brought to the i c j. what's he said? well, the state department spokesman said that the case brought by south africa and a number of other nations as co signatories was in his woods without foundation. he also pointed to the height of the bar when it comes to claims of genocide. this, despite the fact that in 19 and 2020 to us president joe biden describe the russian

invasion of ukraine as genocide within days. in 2022 to the us joined ukraine in its i. c, g proceedings against russia. i also state department spokesman, how we accounts for these differences in position in what on the face of it are remarkably similar circumstances. every circumstance is different and these kinds of determinations need to be made with a close look at the law and the facts. and these allegations that israel is committing genocide are and found that being said, uh, we have been clear to israel that they not only must comply with international humanitarian law in its operations against tomas but it needs to take off a feasible steps to prevent civilian harm uh, also uh we have been clear with the regional partners who have relationships or

influence with home us. uh that uh, any stuff that they would be interested in taking to cease hostilities to release hostages, to take steps away from their self plate claimed goal repeating october 7th again and again and again and again. as to the merits of the case, the spokesman refused to discuss it, saying he would leave that israel to address when it responds to the charges in the proceedings on friday. and in washington dc. thank you. there is extra state has left egypt, etc. final stop of his latest diplomatic tourism, at least as the blinking now talked with president abdul 5 to l. c. c. and kyra, think it said offering a pathway to a palestinian state is the best way to stabilize the wider region as well as isolating around. and this proxies. so that head here now does area around seas. as

an oil tanker is the same vessel the washington took from to or on last year as part of sanctions the, the weather brought to you by visit cutoff. how are the wet season is ready ramping up now across the mills? i'm positive australia low, so fast on the stones, a rumbling away here. we may well see developing tropical sykes lane that bring up anywhere around the top hand towards the gulf commentary over the next couple of days. plenty of storms that too, just around the back of queensland, pushing across into a new south wells. pleasantly south would be too bad over the next star title. so i've been the now the never that i still pretty. he made pretty muggy there in sydney, a 29 celsius, but that is that west of weather just around the fall north of australia

a big and sundry down post where you see these yellow bluffs just appearing. that's where we could see something a little more active over the next day, or so. the showers down towards the southeast as we go once reset saturday into sunday one or 2 shelves, the quietest woman melvin at around $23.00 degrees celsius. it warms up in these islands the cross jessica, you have this 30 degrees celsius so fast. i just went through with the steps to push this way to what was in the fall. and by that stage where wind winfrey weather, pushing towards northern parts of japan. more in the way of snow coming in here for friday, that's no more expensive. as we go on into sat today, some of the drive to the south trying find that for the korean peninsula, had a good part of china. of the weather brought to you by visit cuts, all the

the the other guy here. what you might have our top story in south africa is asking the international court of justice to patiently hold what it says. a genocidal ex card up by is really forces in guns. country wants to you ins topcoat to issue cycle provisional measures to order israel to and it's for some people and gaza say they

feel hateful now, this case of paperwork, but it's rarely still carry out as drugs on sprint. at least 32 published needs been killed in con unice since thursday morning. and romano ro rallies, being held in support us of f, cuz genocide case gets is we know how the sinew problem is. the manager to this peanut gallery expressing his feedback well, friday is going to be the secondary proceedings of the international court of justice is read as expected to defend itself against accusations of genocide made by south africa. both countries are allowed to appoint one judge to the panel is hearing the case is realist chase and it's pharmacy prim. quote, president and product. the 87 year old was born in lithuania, earned is a survivor of the holocaust. his parents moved to the british mandated palestine in 1947 the year before the creation of the state of israel. right strewed support for israel's full on gaza. and his claim to see no evidence of his rails violates the international humanitarian law. in an interview with the canadian newspaper,

the globe and mail, he said it may be proportional to kill 5 innocence, innocent kids in order to target that lead to any argued that the rules of collateral damage permit becoming a palace to invite us, even if that leads to the depths of children, this view was approved by per item self and a 2006 supreme court ruling for ike is also justified the costing of fuel to the gaza strip. stating it may have been used by policy and fights as these referred to . these really governments conduct to the war by saying, i agree totally with what the government is doing. michael link is professor emeritus at west and university in london, ontario. and he told out 0, what do you think is israel will focus on when they present that case on friday. so 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 one or one of a 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 i said, i suspect we'll see plenty of arguments around those 2 particular issues with something atrocious. up and 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 position as a lawyer representing a 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 but the other side has done, i must say, having watched the south african presentation of the day, this really was a top drawer 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 africa 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 in very calm, measured fashion, the, to some of the days of the use now and the us have condemned around caesar of an

oil tanker in the gulf of the month. the tankers reported to be boarded by armed intruders near the money coast. before the tracking device is turned off and it turned towards iran. it's carrying more than $100000.00 tons of crude oil vessel named these nicholas was seized by the united states last year. it was sanctions imposed on a wrong assess. lani is a journalist in cedar. a research fellow at the center for middle east strategic studies and explain the reasons for the seizure and why it could escalate regional tensions in this development seems to have 2 dimensions. one that is related to the flexing of muscles between the ball and the, you know, and the united states over the implementation of economic sanctions against the ron law. back in april 2023. the united states confiscated you ran in oral that was being carried by the same old tank here. but the, the vessel was crossing the sea of a month. that's why at this, the timing you,

ron sees the tank k a. the 2nd dimension is related to the, let's say, because of water, which is on going and we have been seeing that. yeah, movies. recently they have been trying to target vessels linked to israel in order to put pressure on tel aviv to stop. the attacks on the people of guys that i bought in the united states now seems to be helping his release in order to put pressure on the game. and these on the, let's say this, these 2 issues, you know, combined together can be somehow more meaningful within this context. we have been seeing some, most by his release on the united states which have been to look at that against the rod and wrist. and the, you know, the, the americans want to create that kind of coalition against. yeah. mentees of the who sees because they think that the attacks by who these have been putting

pressure on israel. and it has created the risks for the funds that of the ships in the region. so that's why, you know, these kind of actions and reactions could create that kind of escalation. and it seems that the both sides try to play the game at the high level of pressure on the, to push the limits of the other sides in order, let's say to stop the opposing side in the united states for my president, donald trump is a paid in court to here because the arguments in his full trial, trump is accused exaggerating his wealth and financial statements given to banks and insurance companies. it can be fined as much as $370000000.00. if he looses the case, how does it was christmas? lemay has moved from the courthouse in new york. the closing arguments have 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 as 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 democrats 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 he misstated any of these assets that doing so did not hurt anyone that no one was hurt by his overs valuing of his property. the attorney general's team, however, has said that the former president has committed,

persistent fraud and outrages we overvalue in 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 sons, 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, steve federal aviation administration in the united states, as low as a full investigation into the boeing 737 max 9. that sort of follows the emergency
