the, the, the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, i'm about this and this is the news on life from bill hard coming up in the next 60 minutes. the chaos and con eunice israel, flux is yet another residential buildings,

southern gaza. at least 6 people have been killed. it is respectfully submitted that the application and was request should be dismissed as those legal taken calls for accusations of genocide to be thrown out to the international court of justice size i forgot which brought the case forward says it stands by the facts in guns under the general side foundation. nothing justifies a cutter to be committed, but it is what i can do. you have on sophie's tracking to attack all american and british interests across the red sea off to the fighters are killed in air strikes . the, it's 16 gmc, that's 6 pm and gaza. where is really forces have been intensifying. those strikes on southern and central areas of the strip palestinians are facing a daily struggle for survival. but the overall death total rising past $23700.00.

in the a few hours in the south of the city of con eunice, the house has been destroyed in an air strike. at least 6 people were killed there . another 5 palestinians are dead also to strike on dental, bought a refugee camp on the elbow, asian. oh my god becomes of also being bombed. all 3 are in central guys. dozens of palestinians have also been killed in northern garza when it's rarely strikes head civilians as they waited for trucks delivering aid. i'll just see it as cameras was there. but. 6 6 the guard is a shield, he is our only rock domestic. he has never ran every single day. may god punish these. riley's and the americans where the arab states we have slaughtered every minute of the day. where's egypt? where is jordan? where is the international community? no one is lending a helping hand. we only have god,

he is out shield to use our all these really tang started shedding our homeless. we ran it all directions, but these really soldiers continue to shoot it every moving person, many of full. but we couldn't reach them to give help women and children running old directions out of the car. i swear i more than a 100 people were killed, others were wounded by was injured. and i don't know we my children now. they don't know where i am. i, a static apo zoom is involved in solving guys as a while, the case it goes on in the hague. i b international court of justice. there are more strikes still continuing on in gas. and what's the latest guess as these really legal team is arguments who convinced the national courts of justice, the attacks and the gaza strip did not stop in the past few hours, where the east valley forces are expanding the military operations inside the

territory. and especially in the summer at cost of the 2nd. so we have talking about the city of new this which had been the center of the military operations by these very forces that they are trying to gain more advancements into the main area and residential neighborhoods of the city where confrontations and the classes on the ground that continue on since the last 24 hours. the attacks did not stop the work since the out there. the hours of today's morning, 6 palestinians in the city have their report killed. i'm at home going onto the reboot apartments of the eastern areas and also in the eastern, another part of the city. also, we have been hearing from residents in the middle of over nights that, that the attacks have been widely intensified, especially by these, by the artillery units were 5000 is have for which killed. none of the latest is ready as strikes, which brings the total desktop for the victims since the beginning of this day to rise to, to reach at least to $25.00 pounds and he has been killed. now we should also at

extension and say that some areas in the middle governance, impedances cannot really get our have access to due to the deployments of the is there any forces that on the unrelenting sector of destruction in that part of the city for events medical teams and civil defense workers to reach to the location of targeting, especially to add to both the victims from under the rustles of the destroyed buildings. now all of this is going on on the ground as there is also people are facing in the bearable humanitarian situations across the southern parts of which are 3 apartments in some parts of the nose. on central gauze is 6 feet continues from time to another from now and then as is very forces i seeing that the foot phase of fighting must be low in terms of intensity. but what we can see is more wind the tax and move it back to a sion waste to ruffle. during the last couple of days that i got both of them in

rough and southern gaza topic. thank you very much. indeed. part of setting account as a champion not come i will summer has died in any gyptian hospital. the 24 year old last one of her legs option is really is so i can the new set of outcomes in central guys are last month. she reportedly suffered complications in the days before she died. israel has rejected the accusations that it's committing genocide and gaza at the international court of justice. south africa launched the case and the hague on thursday, presenting evidence of mass killings and widespread destruction. israel's defend infections and gaza as self defense, calling the case put forward, profoundly distorted. we live at a time when woods actually in an age of social media and identity politics. the temptation to reach for the most outrageous term, to vilify and demonize,

has become for many years this the but if there is a place where words should still match a us, which cruise should still matter. it is surely a court of law. the applicant has regrettably put before the court, a profoundly distorted factual and legal picture. the entirety of its case hinges on it deliberately. q rated deacon text realized and manipulative. description of the reality of current hostilities, south africa ports to come to this court. in the last, the position of a guardian of the interest of humanity. but indeed legitimizing israel. 75 year existence in its opening presentation yesterday. that broad commitment to humanity rang hollow. step boston has this update from the head. a large my case here at the

international court of justice in the hague. with south africa, i'm making a compelling argument why it believes that israel is committing genocide and gaza and is route in the dark of an international court for the very 1st time defending itself against the crime of crimes genocide. adage, defense is role argue that is acting in self defense and gaza and that's how much is the one with general side of it also says that the government has no intention to commit genocide and any statement that has coming from any of the lead us or politicians and this route is not official government policy. south africa who responded after the hearing says that this is not true because these statements came from the very top of the is for a government as well. also, i guess that the court has no to assist you at all to hear this case because any dispute between states has to be debated among the states 1st. before taking it to

the court is from the side that this didn't happen. it's now up to the judges to decide if it's urgent in junction, or this provisional measure of south africa has us for, as ordering as well to stop the military action in gaza is needed. i will expect decision in the next few weeks. step 5, which is 0 in the hey, will this hearing is being followed closely in the occupied palestinian territories, and israel gonna go to a correspondence in the region and the moments we're going to hear from honda of they'll come in and ramada 1st. let's go to satisfy that and kind of revise some. the step was just pointing out there is, there was providing what it said was evidence that it was abiding by international law. and guys, i get, there are arguments that some key information has been left of the that's right. so overall, but it was preparing the lots of evidence and we had it in the case where they said that this is proof that it has in the following international human rights laws.

and that it hasn't actually committed genocide. and that is unfortunate when you have a densely populated area where there's oven will find that some people will get killed and that was never an intention of best, but in fact says ready policy dictates. otherwise. now some of the examples that it was giving to prove that that is, is ready. policy, they talked about this is for me when i was listening to some of the examples, quite impulse and they said the tunnel, the, it's not directly onto the main. i'll ship for a hospital building was exploded without damaging the building above, and then the forces withdrew from the hospital. but if you recall a while ago, all the ship for hospital became integrity to the military's argument that people needed to evacuate to thousands of them. that had beaten sheep, seeking shelter, thousands of patients as well as doctors that were working with very little equipment. and at the time doctor said that they couldn't evacuate the patients and

the patient's in the way that these riley's expect to that the time as well. want to remind you that the military was saying that on denise, that hospital was a c'mon son. so they even had released a 3 d video explaining what it would look like. and some of the time had referred to as the pentagon of how much? well, we still haven't seen the evidence in here, but talking about the one tunnel and talking about how it's ready for says left immediately. that didn't happen. they talked about how john this happened given access, but the information isn't complete. that because yes, they have given access to journalists, but it's been very limited. it's been very selective. and the footage has to be checked by the minute tree and everything has to go through them. they was able to speak to the palestinians. the when i talk about is riley policy. they also said that some of the comments that were made by the fall rights lead is old.

politicians in the government wasn't again, parts of the policy because they said they, those comments was made by politicians that were parts of the decision making process. but the fax is when the 3 captives were trying to escape and trying to be saved by these riley forces when they were killed by the israeli forces and that collect created outrage. only then, did they decide to investigate that policy that minute treat policy when it came to come back. now, this is how palestinians a normally treated. so a lot of what they have said and talking about evidence given by palestinians including these. all right, so of all wrote run, sees the hospital, lots of it can often be on the dress and that comes from use where palestinians have been treated that way and haven't been given a fat trial. so this just gives you a sense. but yes, they say that is right, the policy is one thing, but what happens on the ground is another,

and i'll just add something to that as well. is it? since uh, this case, we've also heard now from the ministry, but they will be investigating any acts carried out by troops that were guarding against international human rights. of course, we've seen plenty of tick tock, videos by the soldiers being posted of them carrying out acts that go against. but they've been given free reign. so even though this might not actually be, is ready, policy and text when it comes to accountability, that hasn't been any sort. i just want to ask you briefly about the way that that israel is, is viewing what has been happening today. and at the i c, j, you were telling us yesterday that the coverage of day one on the thursday i've been quite extensive and is really media hasn't been responding in the last few hours or so yesterday that was concerned. this still is, of course, because even though this isn't legally binding in any way,

it's not like functions will be carried out against his rel, it's not like it suddenly has to and the war it may lead so cold, so that i thought today it definitely was there's been a sense that and the, when it's being discussed in local media, that they felt but the arguments put forward, the defense put forward was compelling. interestingly though, in the last few minutes we've had heard now from germany saying that they will potentially, oh, they intend to act as a subs paul. t to box is ro in that's arguments, as they say, that's uh the accuse ation against israel. they said is a base list and they've also added that a, the germany opposes palletization of the genocide convention. so that will definitely be seen as another victory for these right is so thank you very much indeed sort of product and tell available. let's go to honda of the for me to, in, from iowa in the occupied westbank. of course they occupied westbank. the scene of

many is really raids over the years. how with the palestinians reacting to what's been going on and the international court of justice as well as seeing israel and adults defending itself is certainly something a positive milestone in the view of the ballast is who have been trying to plead the cases on the international level for decades now and i've always found themselves on the losing. 3 side, now people we spoke to whether it's of the leadership level also, you know, just know more about as soon as we have been following closely so that israel's arguments were quite weak. is that many told us that it didn't thing that it is. roads arguments actually justified this excessive use of force. this large number of palestinians killed the guys that the road with more than 23000 did not justify

the displacement. that just does not justify the destruction of a gaza. now certainly follows to news here in the occupied west bank, as you said, have been going on. i've been victim a to the raids of israel that had been happening on a daily and not the basis ever since october 7th. but before that, they have already been a subject to a separation war. they have already been subject to land grab and they have all this also complained about the excessive use of force use by israel in previous wars, not only this one, this one, obviously bringing that excessive new use of force to a new heights that have shocked the palestinians here in the occupied was bad, but what they would like to see is actually for the quotes to take rapidly those

provisional measures because as one by the student put it with every day that passes that that's sort of increases and for palestinians in gaza, surviving one, a h, me is just having to face another day of bombing and another day of listing to that . so they would like to see those provisional measures come into place as quick as possible. even though many doubt that is will, would actually be a bind to them or listen to that. how that document in romano, thank you. hold on. so i figured officials have responded to israel's defense of the international court of justice. finding another has more on those comments from johannesburg, the following legal arguments. that's america made at the quote on thursday, the following. the defense made by israel on friday, a south african officials said that they stand by their position and that they don't believe that self defense is an adequate defense for what they consider to be

genocide of the so they're freaking officials addressed to me just outside the court on friday afternoon and uh, the director general of the international relations department zane done go ahead, said. and this was in, in reaction to is wales attack on south africa that it is a defend to come awesome that supports from us. he had said that there's no basis in fact, will that argument and it should be of a family rejected. and also the advocates international relations administer. now lady bundle had said that she expected is well to focus on the events of october 7, rather than the significant loss of life in gaza following israel's bombardment. and she had said that, so that i forgot, had condemned her mazda full. it's a tap on october 7th, specifically because civilians had been targeted so so that we could continues to stay in stand for them and it's argument and says that it is supporting a palestinian rights,

especially during this war on garza and maintains that this is a population of people that us with decades suffered and the occupation of that israel has needs to remember its responsibility as an occupier in an occupied land . somebody dumler ultra 0 to his book, a full yelman's quote. the rebels are wanting that all american and british interests will become legitimate targets themselves of 5 of their fighters were killed in air strikes by us and u. k. forces, overnight, multiple sites across the country are being had including the other capital. so now, in the can you open it up on the american and british enemy bear full responsibility for their criminal aggression against all you, how many people, which will not go and onset and on punished the many armed forces will not hesitate to target the sources of threats and all hostile targets on land and that see to defend human, it's sovereignty and independence. this brutal aggression will not dissuade human

from supporting the oppressed palestinian people. and the many armed forces will continue preventing is rarely shipped. so others heading to the ports of occupied palestine from navigating in the arabian and red seats. we're going to take a look at where these attacks were carried out. strikes have been reported in the vicinity of holiday, the airport and the airport and ties dahmer hotline comp inside. i'll delay me based north of so i know lot correspondents are following these developments in both the u. k and the united states. in a moment. we're going to hear from kimberly hall that in washington. first we're going to go to paul brennan, who is live for us in london. so the whole thing is we're saying that $73.00 targets were struck. the attacks won't go unpunished. what's the, you take government be saying about all of this poll, and that hasn't been a direct response from the government. so that state funds from the heard fees, the government here regarding actions rather than words of as more importance.

what's the people responsible them connected to the attacks to say, is it that would be a response to that as appropriate? if the hoops these moments fresh attacks on shipping in the red sea for, for the moment, the position of the u. k. i'm the us government is the intention to de escalate on the stabilize that region effectively. the masonic tax overnight on thursday night into friday morning giving the who these pull so thoughts as to what they've been doing over the past days and weeks. the other thing has come out from the u. k. government has been a statement of the legal position and the legal justification for the attacks. they said that it was necessary and proportionate to respond to the hit. the attacks that there was the only feasible means open to the allies to respond in the way that they did. the government will notify the united nations security council uh that the actions taken on the article $51.00 of the un charter. but there are

concerns about the possibility for escalation and although the allies on it's not just the united states and the u. k, it's the other members of that kind of coalition. as australia, this bar reign of denmark, this france, they are fully behind what to place other countries all raising concerns. so techie, don't forget, a nato ally tech as president a rest of the type. the one thing is described. it actually is disproportionate to the accused. the us and u. k of trying to turn the red sea into a sea of blood. and the other reaction, for example from a month is another important ally for the us in that gulf region. buick mines foreign minister saying that the british attack and us attack on targets went against his countries advice and will only add fuel to an extremely dangerous situation. often i thank you very much indeed. as paul brennan in london, we're going to have the reaction from washington. our white house correspondent, kimberly hall is there. so what is the us thing about all of this?

kimberly yeah, national security council spoke 1st and john kirby speaking to al jazeera era back in the last hour, telling us that the united states and says that the strikes are merely defensive and deterrence is the main goal of the strikes. it is in no way designed to escalate this conflict for just the opposite. what they want to see is a sort of a di escalation and to permit nothing more than a safe travel of commercial shipping through the red sea. so uh, what they're saying is that they hope that there will be no need for further action, but that the united states reserves the right to take further action if the who's these continued to attack commercial fishing, commercial traffic within the red seas. now, we should point to that as well that the pedagogues spoke 1st, and pat ryder says that the united states, along with this allies happening,

conducting assessments of the strikes that have taken place. they were designed to stabilize and degrade the who piece abilities to conduct further attacks. what their initial assessment so far have shown is that the strikes by the united states of his allies has been effective. and that they don't believe that there will be any retaliation by the who these uh, and that there are no plans thus far for any additional forces to be added. so the united states is monitoring at this hour. and at this point, there, believing that there is no need for further attacks, but again, with the united states says, is it reserves the right to conduct further attacks if it deems necessary. kimberly, thanks a lot. that's kimberly how could our white house correspondent as well tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of the m and a capital. these are purchasers. so now we're having these that are on the streets, protesting against the us. i'm pretty strikes on multiple losing targets. protesters have been gathering in large numbers in the capital each week for months

to show solidarity with palestine and the people of joseph mohammed, eliza, and as more from one of the demonstrations, tens of thousands of, uh, yeah, me them the status of dig into this, the to the is so vain square, which is one of the biggest squares and sign off to express their own go all over the us, british a raise over a difference, a set of laws positions are of these positions. they also have tickets to the states to, to say that bill, uh, going to continue their products and also to call on the hold these to continue with their operations. and the rates in order to put more pressure on is ready to lift its sage on people of goods and also to put an end to uh they do the sidebar and, and does uh, uh, the mysterious hairs and also, uh they, they, that made

a list just hours before after the us and british raise. yeah. yeah. take it to the stage and did 1000. they say that they are not afraid of a us on british race. they are either meant to continue the to continue their uh, fraud is and also to continue the support to the fathers. very people who supply the of the, of the threats that are made, made by the us, british, according to their words, as well as collection of items in the right street, on the ongoing warren jobs are raising fears of a wider regional conflicts. and the rocks capitol like that crowds of rally, demanding an immediate cease fire. same bus driver has their iraq is routing this afternoon to say that they are in support of the policy and people that the suffering of the palestinians is a pun,

error issue. they want to any media tend to be patient through the hostilities that are happening in the air and into the war. and then they say that they need to do much more to, you know, not having the we are waiting for the people of gaza. we are willing to sacrifice our blood for them. we're here today to tell the people who because we are with them. the error people are with them. it's a shame air leaders are turning their backs to the bottom of the boat. we call the neighboring countries and the government of egypt to open the borders to offer to monetary and aid, and to help those who been injured. why do they have to close the roof of border crossing to the people of gauze? why? why does israel have the right to import the most modern weapons? if there was no right for the arab countries to send a food and medicine, the women and children to iraq is no stranger to the conflict. and there is

a fear that if the longer that the violence could escalate already been episodes here of us targets a close ally of israel by protocol groups reprise by us forces. and if this we continue to make a rocky violets in the region will see a raw violets. if this were those on which the still ahead on those 0 about 15 years ago, you could buy lunch and get changed with one of these bills. now it's about to go out of circulation because it's practically worthless, dodge, and he has run away in the station. the president says things are going to get worse before they get back to

the brought to you by visit capital. hello. the weather stays pretty quiet across the good parts of china, a big area of high pressure. so still some issues with fall chief vehicles west and pause of china about to go see your ne, adding the hand to the companies that add to japan seems a little more active here as a member of low pressure just sitting across arcada, slipping, further east with back washing winfrey, showers the coming in across the card. i went to that was the side of how issue and that's all going to continue making his way further. east was just nature. so savvy of rang statements, no, just spilling out of mongolia that pets up as he makes his wife for the south with . and a switch on his north korea that will say the snow initially. rain loss the across the south korea and a mix of the 2. pushing towards japan. meanwhile, because much of china, it's generally dry west. the weather does make not just way into central areas, but the weather into west south east asia. i'm oh,

big down pole shop. showers all the way across into them today potentially where they will be at the heaviest stick with some heavy showers affecting them all these me why, but for much of in the office for like i certainly try at present every day have read forebodings, but then small and the small going to put in job it to the full and with less of in the more focused on the website brought to you by visit castle unique perspective. voice for peace is the way for me to take action voices . you don't often hear trouble nations do stand with palestine, it's the same service, shared connect with our community and talking to conversations you will find elsewhere. brand new episodes is a stream on houses here. been going off the full just looking 20 kilometers in many areas. how does the news continues to

define their basic needs to live? certainly this year, the most part. so some of the rumbling that have been doing this now i'm not is going from here over to the 11 east side. there's new, any place in gaza is considered to be safe, needs in the north or the south and north in you and shelters, or in hospitals the, [000:00:00;00] the more to go to 0 reminder of a top stories vis or israel continues to bombard gaza southern, a central areas and con units,

the house has been destroyed and an air strike at least 6 people were killed and a separate attack. another 5 palestinians were killed. and this guy hung down obama is rejected accusations of genocide and gaza on the final day of the hearing. and the instructional court of justice drawers by south africa lawyers for israel argue the military is acting in self defense against palm ice and all that on the goods. south africa presented evidence of mass killings and widespread destruction. humans hosting levels and warning that all american and bodies interests have become legitimate targets. that's up to 5 of their fighters with children airstrikes by us and u. k. forces, overnight. and i've been speaking to major general pop rider. he's the spokesman for the u. s. department of defense and he says the hosting is ignored earlier warnings to stop the tax and the red sea before the us side strikes in yemen is our goal. and our goal from the very beginning here has been to ensure the security and

the stability along this absolutely vital and strategic waterways. you know, 10 to 15 percent of global commerce trends at the red sea on any given day. and so, you know, since november, since mid november, we have seen a series 27 attacks in fact, by who the rebels against international shipping in mariners. and so despite multiple warnings to include a warning from 14 nations plus the united states and early january, that there would be consequences. those attacks did not stop. and so what you saw last night was a multinational effort. we're including strikes by the united states in the united kingdom, along with support from australia, buffering canada, and the netherlands to strike military targets inside who's the control territory in yemen. that included missile storage facilities. you may be storage facilities, coastal radar. all targets intended to degrade and disrupt their ability to conduct

these kinds of reckless attacks in the future. so we haven't seen any retaliation at this stage from the who these something will continue to closely monitor and be prepared to respond to as appropriate. but again, the goal here is to ensure this vital waterway is safe and secure for international shipping and mariners. this is the 1st retaliation that's being made of the some significant this seems to be attacked by the confused begun. are you able to give us an indication what you would regard as the threshold at which another similar response would be required? well, i'm not gonna, as i'm sure you can appreciate. i'm not gonna telegraph forecast or speculate on potential future operations. i mean, i think, i think the objective, as i highlighted here, is clear which is that, that international commerce should be able to, in accordance with international law sale through this and vital waterway unhampered and on attacked. and so again, we're going to continue to control the area we're going to continue to work with

allies and partners to, to ensure that that's the case. i would like to highlight that, that a completely separate effort, but related is operation to prosperity guardian. that is a coalition of more than 20 nations that have come together to patrol and support patrols in this waterway as part of a defensive coalition to protect international shipping in mariner. so that will also continue in the event that there are any additional who the attacks. is it a scenario that you can envisage it and where you would see more troops, more us troops more us, uh, equipment to being transferred to that region. right now we, we don't have any announcements to make in regards to any additional troop deployments to the region, as you know, shortly after the a moss is a real conflict kicked off. we did deploy a significant number of additional capabilities in the region as part of our regional deterrence efforts. and that gives us kick

a wide range of capability to be able to respond to a multiple of contingency should we need it. it is important to point out that from the very beginning our goal has been to ensure that b is real, homeless. conflict does not broaden into a wider regional conflict that continues to remain a significant focus for the department of defense. and as of right now, we do not see that, that conflict has expanded, it remains contained the gotcha. but we understand the tensions and we'll continue to stay focused on that. so this ties on you haven't come off to that hosting's ignored warnings from some western states to stop the tax and the shipping in the red sea as part right. it was just explaining to me a metal ex reports to see find using m and started targeting what very se. oh is really in ships in the red sea shortly after israel's one gone. so i began, they successfully seized this japanese operated cargo ship in late november,

having brought it to the 60 controlled red sea port of, i'm sorry, if they released the video showing the vessel being used as a tourist attraction, it's cru remain on, accounted for yet to in a verse from 1st day, the un security council demanded that immediate to release the red seas by 30 important full grover, my time trustful addition, current 3 discrete because shipping grain is in a state of crisis. once again, we strongly demand the pushes to reduce the vessel under its crew, media, 3 and, and conditionality. early in december 3, all the vessels were attacks and the busy bab ellamin dep straight the american war ship the u. s. s. connie responded to the distress calls and destroyed several trains. it had been patrolling the red sea after the 7th of october tax. and so that lucy strikes follows, including on a mask vessel prompting the shipping joint to temporarily hold operations in the

area. a few days later, you assess connie destroyed dozen small drones, launched from yemen. at the end of december must come jo issued to distress coals and as many days off to who the rebels tried to hide jacket us forces defending the vessel killed at least 10 to the finances in the wake of the attack. musk suspended operations in the area until further notice. the who sees wounds, the us would be punished for the desk and fountains of him and he's protested in the capital son of the k. if the american enemy best the consequences of this crime edits rip of cushions, it's military movements in the red sea to protect is riley ships will not prevent young men from providing its religious, moral and to men of terry and supports to a press pound to send you it started on tuesday, the seasons, the largest attack since the start of israel's will on garza with the us and british forces shooting down more than a dozen miss times entrance knitter. like to 0. they're all, she is

a professor at the national defense universities, also former pentagon director of arabian peninsula affairs. he's joining the start from ven sensor, and it's only thank you very much indeed for being with us. our correspondent paul brandon was telling us from london that the u. k. government is saying that the plan was to de escalate and stabilize the region. we had something similar from major general pop provider. they are from the the pentagon. do you think these attacks are likely to achieve that as well? um, they are calibrated to achieve that, but it's really up to the who sees by the last time we had a problem before. there was a guy that were in 2016 when he was, he's fired on ships. there was a limited attack that destroyed shore base radar. and then these were successfully determined by that. but their rhetoric may have painted them into the bar in a box where they may have to do something. and unfortunately, i don't think they'll get a free pass on that. they already have 26 free passes and we'll see the, the,

the us and the okay. have said that they have received a significant amount of support for this action, but again, paul was describing to us the president richard, tell you about the one of chucky. very tragic a little bit. as indeed was a model which is of course and the ally of the, the us on the u. k. and the region or what do you make of the fact that this is, this has perhaps not received the level of support that the us and the u. k, and the others involved in this might have hoped for that's a good question. that is a problem. the who fees are, you know, have had years to perfect their propaganda machinery and linking the entirely unrelated war and gaza to their attempts to become a regional power and indeed to be coming to recognize cover damage. that's really what that means is that regional partners of the united states are unwilling to publicly joint in to this,

to the level that the united states. then the other coalition partners would want. but i'm pretty confident that they are supporting these efforts privately because of its effect on regional stability. and they don't want to see any regional power surge and basically develop the unilateral right to disrupt international shipping whenever they feel they want to. one other uh, part of that is interesting in the region of course, society or maybe of which has been involved in you haven't far, far as a company years when they were fighting at the hook the rebels. but what do you make of the fact that we haven't really heard a great deal from saudi arabia about the whole system situation that we've seen and certainly around the bible minded straight. so yeah, that's a good question. well, a lot of the saudi exports go through that area, but they also have 2 codes. so they, they're not as affected by it. and of course, you know, things that transits. so as a re, saudi arabia without going to the back of math. yep. so they're kind of in biggest about it,

but the big thing is they're still trying to negotiate an end to the war. and they're trying to negotiate what a new young men will look like. and i think their, their attitude is, you know, we can provide support or information our opinion to the united states. but at the end of the day this is our neighborhood. so i think they're just kind of stepping back and hoping that this will quietly resolve itself so that they can get on with preserving their own vision of what human starting relations kind of look like in the future. it's really interesting to get your thoughts on this david, josh, we appreciate and as always, thank you very much for your time. thanks robinson on it is to start head on out to 0. and my protests outside eco doors. prisoners were relatives of guards being held hostage, them on protection for their loved ones and civilians under 5 and sit on the part of military good fighting. the army is accused of targeting people,
