of the breast joint and let's discover a better world. expo 2023. the ha. ha ha, i'm carry johnston. this isn't news out loud from. so coming up for the next 60 minutes, thousands of forties discovered dumped and they've gone to school. witnesses say dod civilians execute to fight is ready for st bottles on this very outside of the strikes and make it hard to treat the wounded. in con eunice un refugee agency says has been forced to leave the 6 friends who monetary and chief appeals to western

countries to restore funding, to anyone saying it's a nice site. that's 3 courses from sconces from the cost is a meta, an ex, off question that's with us senate on the efforts to come back online. charles, section exportation the the composing bodies of palestinians have been found dumped in a schoolyard in northern gaza. eye witnesses say the victims were blindfolded, tortured and killed before being placed in plastic bags. so some of which has more and a warning. this report contains distressing images. this man is recovering bodies of palestinians who had been left me alone overlooking. they were taken away by his early forces and now some of the remains are being discovered. how much

schools the gaza this says the as both those are sift through the debris. a sense of the k fills, the air. the dozens of bodies have been done. got to look that up, definitely looking to see if again we were shocked to find a mass grave inside the ski yard shock to find the dead bodies. those are palestinian civilians blindfolded and handcuffed at the buck. the dead bodies were kept inside black box without a single story. these are calling for an investigation in a statement. the minister of foreign affairs and ex patch ribs set it demands the formation of an international field investigation team. each of domestic groups committed by these really occupation forces. the discovery of this mass, great in such a brutal manner is expressive of the magnitude of the tragedy faced by palestinian civilians. this constitutes a blatant and

a gross violation of all international laws. the discovery comes just the day after israel returned the $100.00 bellies sticking bodies for burial in a rough uh, just like an order and gaza. the condition of these bodies ranges from severely decomposed their skeletal remains making it hard to identify them. but people still come to the side, searching foreclosure in this place of tragedy, axles i'm reach out to 0. perfect. i assume as the latest now from rough uh, in the southern gods. the palestinians have found some of the palestinians, the bodies that where it could decompose as they have been a buried on the new files of dots and the city of bit lot. here is another part to call this trip specially you can be odd of type inside schools. this area that has been a deceased for long weeks as these very forces that have been expanding the military

attacks since the beginning of this round of pointing, as we have been seeing in the video that had been circulating the me social media platforms showing 30 the body is being completely hand cost and blind fold. it gives a clear indication that the majority of those, that a bodies have been arrested before the being field executed by the baby. so just uh, in the uh, in the city that have been showing different sides or signs of to, to own the bodies. it seems that there have been a wide and a math rest campaign among this is the, as they have been taking showtime slide that school i was mentioning that the majority of the schools in another part of gauze has strep at 10 to be completely. i'm not sure as for the factories were running away from the areas of operation by the usability of military forces. and this is also signifies that because very minute 3 has conducted mass exit fuels execution among different types of city as

in different areas in the gaza. strip to now these where the all me did not cement of the incident on policy that officials from the other hands. they all accusing each man of executing those people off to being to, to then, to human late that in very drastic convictions and another part of the step. also there was people to now they are completely on identifying. we didn't knew who all the victims or at least to inform the family members to check on them, at least to bury them in dollars of symmetry. a senior, an official has told the security council this vital that one was what continues in gaza. the morning comes off to united nations agency for palestine and its funding suspended by several western nations. not followed, as well as accusations that members of the staff took part in the attacks on october 7th mountain griffith said the amount of tyrants situation is very

challenging and guns that the ability of the monitoring community to reach the people of gods or with relief remains grossly inadequate, then to say it's grossly inadequate. as it says here, is grossly inadequate. it's much, much more difficult than that. you're in that section in general and turn your guitar ash has also been speaking about when was important. he was speaking to the committee on the exercise of an ad in the book, right? so the palestinian people and the is the backbone of all the many, 10 and response even because i appeal to all member states to get into the continued t of own was life saving work excellence. he's the meditative assist. i mean, you guys a is collapsing. i'm extremely concerned by the new main conditions faced by guys was 2.2 median people as they struggle to survive without any of the basics ever. do any not in godaddy's hungry while also median grappled with catastrophic levels

of food insecurity. c, i called for the rep, it's safe. that means that it expanded and sustained, you meditate and excess throughout the 1000 or different. i forget it sometimes based joins us live, not from united nations in new york. so jane strong endorsements from both mountain griffith. i'm the you and the secretary general over and was work and gosh, a yes, but it's also a, a recognition from both of them that the situation is really done now. and the whole humanitarians system in gaza has basically collapse. and the un old top officials, the un from the 2nd general down was a now calling for a see saw what was interesting is that we've had the 1st meeting of the security council to discuss the situation since that ruling of the international court of justice. that happened in the hague on friday. was that going to help push things

towards a ceasefire? push things of the security council has been divided in the us just been prepared to use it's vito on this issue to block us the spot. was it going to change things on the, the, the, the, the having watch the whole security council meeting? what has happened to me is you had yes, you have a ruling from the international court of justice that says that israel must stop doing things that could amount to breaches of the genocide convention. and yet the different members of the security council level views of the international court of justice is rulings. it's intra meshes provisional measures in different ways. the us certainly is saying that it doesn't feel that the rulings of the international cause of justice amounts to a cold for an immediate cease by all the countries sorted very differently. russia, particularly china said no, if you're going to follow what the international court of justice has ruled, then it's a prerequisites for those things to be put in place to have a c spa. so we have a situation where again, this division on the security council,

this time division on what the international court of justice means. and it's rulings which i'm afraid means when the closer to a cease fall regarding the un process. the one bit of good news is a set, protract was going on outside the u. n. and that's those talks that took place in paris still underway. those, the tools that have taken place involving israel involving egypt involving cats out and involving the us, dealing with the possibility of a c 's filed the possibility of release of further detainees. and the idea, in this case, the c swab could last much longer than the previous one week, a see saw in gaza. so that i think is the possibility of something that could be positive on the horizon. it's certainly not coming out. so i'm afraid of the meetings that took place here in new york times. nice. thanks very much indeed. well area of my colleague and the bulk of us but to the elbow and that kind of

thing, an american international lawyer. she thinks israel is unlikely to abide by the quotes israel and the u. s. has been engaged now for several days in a media frenzy. you're trying to spin dr. the i c j order into some sort of a win for israel and also take the attention of the order off of the order by distracting with other stories like attempting to justify the cutting of funding for owner. why. but i think we have to be very clear that the court's up is failure, perhaps to include an express order requiring israel to hold its military salt, does not make this a win for israel. and the court rejected every single one of israel's legal arguments. and the order number of provisional measures, including requiring israel to ensure that its military with immediate effect ceases

killing and wounding palestinians and imposing on the conditions of life designed to bring about their destruction and hold her in part. and as was just mentioned, many legal scholars and experts, south africa's foreign minister as well has said this that it would essentially be impossible for israel if it were actually to try to respect the order to do so without halting its military operations in and on gaza there's simply no way that you can provide aid to all of causes 2300000 people without ceasing the bump argument. there's simply no way that you can stop killing and wounding palestinians without ceasing the bombardment. nope. now of course, whether is real actually wants to follow the order is a different question. and what we've seen in the last few days is simply has no interest in abiding by the, the order a bit more confrontations between these very police. some for testers that the car with southern border crossing in protest is trying to prevent a truck from entering casa, demonstrates is gather there. again,

despite the recent announcement, buys very forces at the air. it is now a closed minute resume. protest to say no to monetary, an agent entered garza and so all the captives health that are released is where the prime minister benjamin netanyahu was told the families of captives held in garza, but every effort is being made to secure the release when that's speak. now to him a 100 times you, he's in tennessee for a set, what more to infringement it and you all who say then at the meeting with families of kept so carry. this was a meeting several hours ago in jerusalem. there were present to 26 representatives of 18 different families who are related to captain, spi, held in gaza. nothing. yeah. who did say that every effort was being made to secure the release of those captives. he also went on to say that there was a real effort. it's too early to say how it will take place. but the efforts are

being made these days, these moments, these very hours. he also said, we, the more the public, the more public this effort gets, the more distant it gets. and the more discreet this effort is, the more likely it is to succeed this all coming at a time when that's and yeah, who is under increased fruit. me by family members who are related to those cap just being held in gaza over the course of the past few months. you've seen more demonstrations, more pro, test by relatives of those captives criticizing the government, saying that they are not doing enough. in fact, in the past couple of weeks you've had times when those relatives have actually entered the parliament, they the rated lawmakers, they're saying not enough efforts being made that they do not think the government is doing enough to try and bring back their loved ones in their family members from kaiser right now of course increase scrutiny at a time where there's so much speculation about whether there will be another deal between the israeli government and how much in order for a cessation of hostilities to take place. but the prime minister essentially saying

we're doing everything we can, we don't know exactly how this is going to play out. but clearly this is showing the pressure that he is feeling from so much criticism about his efforts to get those captives back to israel. kerry what indeed, what is the extent of the political pressure that nothing yahoo is on the right to the right now and it's in yahoo is in what could be described as a politically untenable situation? because not only of course, is he coming under scrutiny from relatives of captives who say that he's not doing enough to secure their release, but also he is coming under heavy criticism the past few days by members far right wing members, even of his own coalition, over the course of the past few days on multiple occasions, the far right wing, national security minister, it's more been chavira who's a member of, of the cabinet has said that and that's in yahoo essentially should not be trying to go into a deal that would be bad for israel and that if that were to happen,

that been give year would walk away from the government, which would essentially cause the government to collapse their other far right wing members of the government who are essentially saying the same thing. so he's under that kind of pressure from the right flank of his governing coalition, but then also you have the opposition calling on him to resign. now what's interesting is that in the past couple of days, you're starting to hear from members of the opposition like you are le, pete, he's the leader of the opposition. and he essentially is saying that he will take up the slack if those far right. we mean members, words leave the government here, repeat in an interview earlier today with channel 12 and it's really television station said that essentially he would consider joining a temporary unity government. if those far right we members were to leave in order to try to get this deal done, which would see those captives returned to his role. it's a very, very complicated political picture right now. this is a time when poll after poll here in his real shows and that's and yahoo is uh, you know, the trust in his leadership is it record lows, which is interesting because usually at a time of war and is real. you have

a prime minister getting a bump and opinion polls and people rallying behind them right now. people behind the war effort not behind the prime minister. so he is under a lot of pressure. he knows he's facing a lot of political peril. and certainly this is something that we're going to see play out more and more in the days that have cherry and kind of a for us them a junction. thank you. are allowed to go and stay. and there's an independent journalist who wrote a book on isabel's alms industry called the palestine the bar area. he told my colleagues, somebody say that as a change of is really prime minister wouldn't change, is really policy towards casa. there is no serious talk with the in israel and the spot. what people might suggest installed balloons for a 2 state solution. it's always a, it's not happening. the majority of is riley's for years long before october 7 and certainly since have supported occupation. i've voted for policies for decades in fact that there's no real constituency for an independent palestinian state and is

enough. is really jews that have accepted the idea of endless occupation. again, there are critics and opponents of that, of course, but the right tiny minority, tragically. okay, let's talk about global jewish public opinion that how is prolonging the war and this talk of keep it going to total victory, impacting global jewish public opinion? is it polarizing it more in the jewish community globally has never been most place . there's no doubt that in the us and europe and the k, there are a number of people in jewish community support is rel uncritically, regardless of what it does and will support these rails supplies, the plans that are eliminated from us. but the truth is that in the last, particularly 10 years i've been a lot about this, and i'm jewish myself as i'm sort of part of this movement, so to speak. that there is a generational split going on. it's not quite as neat as this, but in general, all the jews and much more supportive is ro whereas jews who are 18 to 35 in the us

especially have really lost a huge amount of disrespect for israel. but uh, for family disillusion with the lead as of the community to spend decade saying the only way you can be a good you is to support these route, ignore the occupation, ignore the refreshment of palestinians, ignore what he's rouse, doing and gaza. and mice polls before october 7 and certainly since have shown boutique reading to us that many, many young americans use. if we don't accept that russian all that they impose what's going on and they pushing up this, they're on latest to change tact but also start their own organization. so groups like jewish voice, the pace or if not now, and now they're not having that much influence. i've at the white house level, that's true. there isn't any jewish community they raise. i have called at the civil war. there's a single wall going on in the global jewish community. not this type of guys i want these route has become a hotline, frankly messianic view. we supremacist state. now that is not something that many

jews who believe in multiculturalism in human rights can back to find some more head on. and these are including classrooms, abandoned, the school shut down. we explain how the world golf is destroying the rights to education. understanding children occupied westbank, the train and take steps to help children deal to with russia the in the on since the boys and girls have begun. infrastructure including schools has regularly been targeted across the street and kathy reports from the new. so i to, if he comes in central gaza since october it's cool is in the cause of surgery. keep house in charge of to thousands of hundreds of prep teaching from different

areas across is the causes truth. i'm screen time thing on the rubber over. i do bus here in the surrounding this school is a mosque, other owner of a schools, a clinic, and a lot of houses. this school became flat into the grounds. it's completely flat into the ground nothings left. we see some chairs, some desks, some books, but this is the only thing we see that's more the than 625 policy means students have been prevented from education since the beginning of the war, according to new uh, thousands of educational universities and schools have been also born in different areas across of the cost of we're talking about $2.00 of the main and biggest universities in the cause of shape which are us had and the islamic university in

gaza. as you see the, the school is sticking to another owner of a school where the school has a refugees and people that shows our shirt shows during, in this hospital yesterday night at 9 p. m, this school was targeted. we're talking about at least 10 injuries from the people surrounding this school were transferred to a hospital, people who took shelter in this school, evacuated after that is where the forces ask them to do that. we do it a couple of weeks ago. this is not the only school that has been targeted by the is there any forces we're talking about? thousands of other schools that were also bound by that is where the forces schools in the gaza strip are not on the schools. there shelters and graveyards.

this is in the pull the data and the say dropped refuge account life before the war ongoing as it was already difficult palestinians with disabilities. but israel is bombing campaign enforced evictions has made it even harder to survive. i've wash has a prismatic leg and to show train your p and hospital in con eunice. she explained how she escaped home with show is the governing by law. that is a uh in the house. ringback will say what legitimate, not in the but when the oh the yeah, i don't have the business i have is that it is this it will 6 is bad. dish will live. uh when did i? uh i'm the last in the home. i'm assuming you um. i spoke to my

last study, a lot of the live a and i said i'll accept the home. and the other has used the, the, the, a, a, a, like, the of the, of the, on the, just the, the, the, the bed with a full that see much of a problem. so that'd be putting on the, on the, on the law. i'm the the, the most of the, the, uh, i had the yeah been, is your best and then you look lot apply youngblood. you have a lot of law about the value of such got that

as uh, what is the, what is the have the say you have 10 you um. well see if that's the one to dislike or what is what we've done. dish. uh, the good the palestinian ministry of education says increased is rarely secular font. it's an ami rates across the occupied westbank on destroying the rights to education of palestinian children. many schools have been forced to close down. charles stratford reports from the village of thank to buy a legal is ready, settlement runs alone. we only road to bait or school in the occupied westbank, but no palestinian students come here anymore. the palestinian authority assisted the school closed when the one goal is to begin because of these rating secular attacks. the school was built in 1953. these way the settlers began arriving

25 years later. the children's outlook still hangs in in 2 carlos classrooms, a band and a bonus people with they used to play the settlement will is only meet is a way he's ready flag flies over nearby military base. and then today the lead. when i know we have never seen anything like this before is really subtle, is come to the nearby ministry check point. they throw stones, they stop cause and sometimes confiscate them in the past. the sub list of fro stones at the students during sports classes. whatever it was play time, we faced a potential emergency situation. this is destroying the right to an education is really set low balance against palestinians and their property across the occupied west bank is dramatically increased since the hamas attacks on october the 7th, nearly $400.00 promised indians have been killed in his way the military rates hunting

suspected members of the palestinian resistance, the school, the suffrage is a freight sent it to me. they should fight is raining settlers. living in an illegal is rarely settlement behind. that rule only meets is a way it is one of moving funds with schools that the palestinian will socrates say, have been forced to close because of increased secular blinds since the war began. many of reopened but 11, being forced to close in the last 2 weeks. many of the students from bait or had been moved to school across the valley, practice into overcrowded classrooms within the suspicion facilities to accommodate even the basic needs. to have the teachers and students come into the classrooms, we can't use the lab to the science because we need to use that to teach other subject that it's a huge challenge for the children. and for us,

you can see the is where the settlement and the school, which zillow and ultimate used to go to. clearly from the office at hill. i can see a playground used by the israeli settlers, children over to soldiers golf, the nearby base. and these really minutes each of the flies above us has been filled. and levia did the ultimate in july i have had no choice but to take online lessons. since the school was closed and struggles to focus on his arabic clause. that's not here at the good. our school has great facilities. it has a big playground for sports. there's really good education there. the school we were moved to had no space for us at the beginning of the war, the soldiers used to come in front of our school gate. yes, it's safer there, but i hope we can go back to our main school one day. to mohammed sits with his nephew taking a geography lesson in another room. that was online learning is nothing compared to appropriate school education. there are so many distractions when they're studying

at home. a palestinian children have had their education disrupted by as well as okey patient. but decades, the universal right of children like ultimate to learn and grow is on district like never before. it's almost not for the late good in the occupied westbank has with us as fighters have a tax. the 3 is really ministry. slice of the southern border of lebanon with strikes are in response to his very well pains and launching 3 rates anywhere on wednesday, between the towns that have email out terry, in the southern lebanon. the town of your reading was also struck by miss saul is ready on saturday, also struck several locations in the area us envoy involved in trying to prevent a bigger conflict between israel and 11 and says there's still a window for diplomacy. israel has been threatening an old outboard has but not doesn't pull back from the board to authorize that. so i know how the reports from

a route now the lebanese group has been sending messages over time showcasing its capabilities. hezbollah appears to be sending messages of to terence, as, as well, threatens all out for this video, beset to show a position guided miss. so striking what the lebanese arm group says was in his really surveillance don't at an army post on the border as well as also firing other explosive missiles as across the board are fighting triggered by, as well as we're on garza escalates. it's been targeting military sites, a few kilometers inside as well. we won't you against returning you aggression toward lebanon. because what a way to our grades, if you only felt the partial power organization, then in or out will you lou taste of full power. we are well prepared for who is really the army also says it is prepared for

a full blown more recent war games in northern israel, also involved simulated facing in urban areas and in the winter weather all the while this really army has been increasing the intensity of its attacks on hezbollah and its infrastructure in southern lebanon. but a u. s. envoy involved in trying to prevent a bigger conflict, says there's still a window for diplomacy. english huston says he will likely head back soon to beta and tell him to work on 1st association of possibilities that will allow people on both sides of the border to return home. and then a more last spring solution be on a ceasefire. that would involve a beast, up presence of lebanese army troops in southern lebanon, and the d. mark cation of the land border. it has below, has tied this front to a permanent ceasefire in garza. and that's why diplomacy and military action have

failed to push its forces away from the border. they actually have to use the expedition to pressure people his government as a beloved, less of that the last to capable away from, from the board as well as maintaining event. uh uh, the war of the slides because she announced before we move forward. so i think this is the prologic pressure pressure for both sides, but it doesn't seem that any of them is interested in a, in a contract at this point. for now, as well as focus appears to be eliminating what is calls the threat. and so there's nothing on there as rosita balte, so it's a come on out 0. the fights against drug abuse in liberia communities come together in the absence of government's actions. the

weather atlantic weather is bad to bite into the play. and if you're at, once again, this is one week from the head and this is one following that is going to be a western wendy spell. it was a pretty shelves then it's going to bring rain through front germany. highland stove for the north and stripes. the alps and then some to follow the temperature difference isn't that great? you'll notice it's not particularly cold air, but it is cold. and then what's currently around in bulgaria, for example. so when it goes down through serbian bulk area and beyond, not the attempt to break down again and bring some stay with it any days. whereas i think is sofia. then we back up to an average of 7 and a breezy data wind increases there. give us 10 degrees on a dry looking sunday that will just serve to enhance was already a fairly show breeze coming down to libya and egypt. and that's also enhancing the breeze the hall mountain, which the seasonal window so far this year has been fairly devoid of task,

but not stronger. it's picking up a lot more. so how in depth and c, r and dancers, to dan chattanooga and eventually off the west coast of africa. so the size just a circulation forming the eastern bridge. i don't think it'll affect motor issues. it just shows this is active area. so the range fairly heavy here, particularly on the eastern side or by the gasket mozambique. this is earl, has now impose a complete space on god's that. so how do they survive if you have no income, how do you live? cost of living rose sharply after the war and ukraine could something like that happen again as a ripple effect of the goals. what is it us contract is mainly who are benefiting from this when the price of oil goes up, the costs of almost every thing goes up counting the cost on out. is there

the latest news, as it breaks in ukraine, centuries long struggle to establish a distinctive national identity literature has always played a significant role with detailed coverage. critics say the use of government helicopter is in line with the president's upbringing from around the world activities and companies. 5th, thousands of victims died waiting for justice, but never came to the lack of a company. people's crimes committed in double is what's in bolton, interpret, purchase of other crimes. the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching, i'll just here it reminds of the headlines. now at least the t policies have been

found dumps inside a schoolyard. happens in the nation prospect. the northern gauze. witnesses say the bodies belong to protest in use. affiliate execution flight is ready for you and release. agency in gaza says it's been forced to flee from most parts of the stuff in such a convenience. it's very strikes it's. it's facilitating the cost today, thinking it's impossible to inside, displaced that african foreign minister and $8010.00 door says all states have an obligation to stop funding and facilitating as well as minutes reactions and gaza. it follows a professional routing by the international court of justice. last week and the genocide case filed by south africa against israel, the court ordered the israel to take all steps at 10 to prevent its troops from committing genocide against palestinians in gaza. from intimate reports come to

hunt as but so that's what this foreign minister now lady bundle reiterated south africa stones on the genocide in gaza saying that's how the africa could not be a partner to atrocities and is now looking at the international community to play. it's well, she says, the global community is facing a di lemme, and that it's up to the international community to compel states like israel. and especially following the ruling by the international court of justice. to compel is well to abide by that order to stop the killing to provide humanitarian aid. such a need not to prevent it. so she has said to the south africa is done everything it can and as also remained from in that stones. but now it's up to bodies like the united nations, essentially for reform, saying that the cost be about simply monitoring such incidents or monitoring such rulings. but also enforcing that these readings are abided by. she is also drawing

attention to, to the genocide convention, saying that the convention was designed specifically to protect the vulnerable and she spoke specifically about the holocaust saying people who are affected by the holocaust. she says held africa believes a no perpetrating genocide themselves. she's also updated so that we can specifically around what south africa will do next. in terms of its opposition to the genocide in gaza. it will provide additional submissions to the i c, j. she says in line with israel and having to submit its own report within 30 days, so that record will provide additional submissions. and she says that would include a new evidence from the time that the i, c, j gave its ruling. it looks like a low cuts or some other welding use an anti war russian politician because they've gone the process to enter the race for president. or eastman edition says he has

submitted more than 105000 signatures of support to the central election commission . is already publicly stated, he would end russia's war and ukraine, if elected officials will now check the authenticity of the signatures before announcing the final candidates. the child is searching much frustrating. ukraine has swap, hundreds of soldiers shows, defense ministry said that countries each exchange $195.00 prisoners of war. it was the 1st swaps since the russian bitchy plane carrying at 65 ukrainian prisoners was down last week. around 50 similar exchanges having bro could since the war began is nearly 2 years since russia invited ukraine on. there were concerns about his long term effects on the country's children. special accounts. so being organized to how youngsters cope with war trauma. obviously as well. mcbride reports now from the reason of this,

i can apply to the active it to use designed to help young mines come to terms with children, with very different experiences, but all suffering some degree of trauma. like 17 year old valeria forcibly relocated to russia by her father, then brought back to ukraine by her mother. are unusual. she's a mother. every one would say that these are one nation, one people, but that's not true. it's another country. and when i come back to grant, i realized i was hong shuttle. so one parts of the country that's about the least touched by war, the co pays the mountains, all the perfect place for recovery. but many of the stuff are themselves from the cities ravaged by war, such as psychologist julia from mary paul. some of the trauma is multi dimensional, and it's not just the few they experience from the bombing. it's the feel of occupation diffusion using loved ones. separation relate many especially younger children,

such as 12 year old carrillo struggled to talk about their experiences. last time, we would take it into buses. he tells us to a camp in russia where we stayed for a bit over a month, but that's about who he can. we can't. 17 year old give him was in the same group and remembers the joy of returning home. the home when we got home, i 1st emotions were meeting my friends and family again. there was join more ukraine estimates about 20000 children have been forcibly relocated to russia since the start of the full scale invasion nearly 2 years ago. despite repeated efforts and international mediation, only about 400 children have been returned. the 4th removal has led to will crimes charges against moscow allegations. the key hopes will one day reach an international court. for now, the focus is on reclaiming ukrainian children and helping them recover mcbride,

i'll just say era that car parts your region, ukraine, a series of major social media companies have testified before the us senate about child exploitation on that platforms. concerns are growing that they have repeatedly failed to protect minus reports. table that behaving shows cases of children being trips to send explicit photos sold in america last year. method c o box a bag was put on the pressure to explain what measures the company had taken to protect the children. this is why we're building all. what did you firewalls center that's i don't think that that's who did you fire? i'm. i'm not gonna answer that i would use if i or anybody, right? you didn't take any significant because it's appropriate to talk about it, but it's not a part of the decision. so didn't do you know who was sitting behind you. you've got families from across the nation whose children are either severely harmed or gone and you don't think it's appropriate to take

a talked about steps that you took, the fact that you didn't fire a single person. let me ask you this, let me ask you this, that we have you compensated any of the victims? sorry. have you compensated any of the victim's eyes? girls? have you compensated them? i don't believe so. mike hunter is in washington dc for us now. so mike, a face the situation that was, is hearing happening now. the whole day is concerning. congress said file to the impact on use to off the online a companies and say having this hearing. they want to formulate new legislation which would place stronger controls on these major online companies. they believe the members of the senate committee that these companies are not doing and not themselves to protect youths and teams and children online from suffering home bid through sexual exploitation or through the sale of drugs. for example, there were launch number of relatives of victims presence of the hearing today,

holding signs saying what happened to the children. and certainly the senate questioning was extremely hostile. now the tech ceo's defended themselves by saying yes they have put in safe guards. yes, they are deeply concerned about the abuse of their platforms. but the real problem behind this will is section one city of the communications act, which says that the online platforms cannot be held responsible of what is posted on them. in other words, have these tech companies have no accountability whatsoever? this is what the senate wants to change. this is what the hearings all about to formulate new legislation that will start policing the internet because the owners, the senate committee believes do not mind kind of thanks very much. indeed. we're going to stay with this uh, spanish for any of us on this professor that used to like schools of education and information studies. he joins us from the science of these welcome to the program.

and this does seem to be an issue that has, by pauses on supporting congress, doesn't it? the right. i mean it's, it's actually just for me actually fairly good news that we see josh holly and lindsey graham on the one side uh side you know, on the really uh, in the same position as dick durbin, the senator from illinois. and i think a lot of that is because it's pretty difficult for any politician to not sort of claim to be supportive of children and youth safety rights for various reasons. and we have seen across the board of congressional representatives, independent of what party they are part of the express a lot of concern about the directions, big technology platform, specifically, social media platforms have taken, you know, and as we've talked about before i, which is 0, the content that tends to be most visible, and therefore most viral on these platforms often tends to be that which is most hateful, outrageous or conspiratorial. and that's not because the text ceo's or an engineers

are reviewing every single piece of content that's posted. it's totally impossible, but they're simply building simple algorithms which are rules apply to bodies of data that say hey, whatever is likely to grab eye balls and attention making that go viral. so the visibility and speech is all about by reality, and that has everything to do with the indivisible rules that govern what we see and what we don't see. and you know, as your story just alluded to, because of section $230.00, which is uh, from the communications decency act, it protects tech platforms and social media platforms from liability on like all of you at all to 0 or the new york times and so on. who can print or show content that's deliberately libelous, slanderous, hateful, etc. rise, right? certainly notice ask you that means your tech companies say they do a lot to take a piece of content down, but do they do enough to store material, getting up in the 1st place, are not, not at all. they don't. and in terms of taking concepts on what they do is, is higher,

what we call content moderators. these are often populations not in the united states. they're not paid living wages, they're not trained journalist. they're not necessarily people even representing, you know, the constituencies, if you will. they're not experts on these issues. there were often talking about exploited workers in places like the philippines and other parts of the world were being exposed all the costs and we caught like thousands and thousands upon pieces a day of content. that's hateful, heinous, graphic, violence, and so on. so these people are contracting p t s d posttraumatic stress disorder in other parts of the world. and these tech companies are monetizing and exploiting other valuation of all of this and the same time. so what these to companies can do instead is invest in really uh, supporting constituencies that can help design these algorithms so that the most hateful content is not always what it goes most spiral, push greater liability on those upon those of us who are posting hateful content there's a ton of things they can do,

but what we hear from dr berg and others again and again. oh yeah, we'll just do better next time. we'll do better a i whatever that means. let me ask you just to let me ask you this. that means some people might say that actually it should be down to parents and guardians to stop the children doing harmful content. so is that's a fair comment. it's totally unrealistic, right? i mean, many, many young people are born with these digital technologies during the pandemic. many young people, 4 or 5 years old, we're using different digital technologies and social media is part of the world's right. if we want to participate in the world, we have to participate in digital platforms and services. you can't even sometimes get accounts or log in stuff, things except through facebook or instagram accounts, right? so i don't like pushing the burden on all of us who are already over stress, overwhelms information only, and otherwise, instead of the liability must shift and more importantly, responsibility and accountability and governance to these technology companies that

are the wealthiest companies in the history of the world, they don't mean to do so well, wildly exploiting us around the planet. and this is even more true for populations in the global south in africa, south america, south asia, and so on. what do you think we mentioned all the areas that let me just asking, how would any further regulation work across international board is when it comes to the internet as well. it can, it counts. regulation has to be done based on the sovereignty of particular states or the quality associated with particular domains. of course, groups like the united nations world health organization can pop publish advisory pieces on such. but i think it's very telling right now, as we speak in the senate, we have a bi partisan at pied partisan centers discussing bills and policy proposals that will carve out a way from full section to 30 immunity to actually try to protect targeted groups and mind you, this is not merely a question of children, this is also involving racism, sexism,

all sorts of forms of discrimination. so it's high time if you're going to monetize all of this content and be the wealthiest companies in the history of the world, use algorithms, or exploited content moderators to make your bucks through evaluation, to be also responsible. so they've got an invest in being transparent and truly collaborative with the public sector and public interest. okay, will they be there streaming of us? and thanks so much indeed for joining us. thank you for having me to me in law, i submit it to governments. has extended the country's state of emergency for 6 months. despite that the chinese that broke would cease finally, rebel fighters in northern me in not seems unlikely to hold. announcements came just ahead of the so on the 1st of the minutes, recruit means evictions will be denied question that you reports now from the town of really in china is a south west and border with me in the streets of really in china, south west, a quiet,

but the peace of the city has been routinely broken by conflict across the board in the m with to rep of groups are to the ruling military june to stray artillery shells have ended. chinese people here, prompting homes to be evacuated, and to shut down the schools and businesses senior man and also a deep worry about our safety and cut. but i felt better obviously, industries, few with the petroleum chinese soldiers. they want to be a quick one year and i am very sorry about what is happening me and my now i've hired the by me, is with me these to work a mattress time to because i painted them because i knew that most military leaders have been shunned buying then west, some countries since seizing pallet and february 2021. the china has acknowledged the doing to the official government, providing it with crucial economic support as me and my 2nd largest for an investor of the single pool. the 2 countries. yeah, a 2100 kilometer border and yeah, and what is strategically important for china? providing energy and transportation cordele is to the indian ocean. they don't want

to disarrayed state, they don't want of refugees poring over from that side. they don't want fighting coming into china. the china is leadership does not exclusively deal with the military. the problem of criminal gags, operating online, scabs targeting chinese people, has pushed badging close that to rebel forces. gains were only removed off the rebel alliance known as the 3 brotherhood defeated the military and took control of me in most northern co kind region. in october. the gang leaders were handed over to chinese police on tuesday. i don't think the me, i'm are raising sold coming. i don't think they understood how important this was for china. and they were slow to react. so i'm, i think that due to noise china phasing must've known the brother who was preparing to these attacks. china recently broken a ceasefire between the rebel alliance and the military regime. but sporadic fighting has continued. china is using it full force me on most of the 3 on the

level 2. but i'm going to say it's in fluid is limited, staging may be doing what every time to protect its interest along the border, but it will not be able to achieve long term piece. 3 out of 0 really says a non trying to me in my analyst, david mathis in the says, and then if you set back, so push that into towards what could be a tipping point. it does have a series of notes every so fast. you can say in the past 3 years, but most acutely of the past 3 months. so sources since that offensive up in the world and shots that but all around the country, the sufferings, quite significant military states are losing a lot of soldiers are losing a lot of bases. and lots of them around that. that 1st stage i, i think despite, um, so i, i do think the extending the state of emergency is just mainly extending the inevitable. and, and the fall i think,

is almost guaranteed by now that it's just that some of the set backs of the past 3 years. but i keep calling dns that might be a safe conclusion in the long run. it's a bit to say it's going to be 3 months or 6 months, and this is the taking points. you know, i really don't think that we day yet, but i do think that they significantly weight. and it's important to, to look at the balance here for the losses and the fact that they have no political plan to actually get out of it. and whatever legitimacy they have, they completely lost it on the di patrice for years ago. and haven't been able to respect any further, whether you will, but any form of domestic and international legitimacy at all. so in the long run of the run out of ideas and they're running out of military forces. so i, you know, if this is the tipping point that could actually drag on for quite some time and actually got a whole lot of using it already. it's or not, there is new president, joseph the car has declared drug abuse of public health,

emergency addiction to heroin and to correct. okay. and is on the rise of treatment facilities is the majority of addicts so left to fend for themselves with histories, reports from the capital one right after 2 decades of addiction that is done by seeking help to overcome hybrid. he says he cultivated during lot be of the civil war was not on the age of 14 years old and john and revolution. so that is for us to be as that is moving team, they call oh my, the one on grass. you know, that is smoking the grass with smoke the driving route as, as no longer make you feel that way, you know, you want to see the less so i gave them according to united nation. so it goes an estimate of 13 percent of live beatrice population is abusing drugs. it says 20 percent of young people also addicted to elicit substances with the absence of appropriate government program to tucker the problem,

individuals and then governmental organizations stepping in after the detox, which has to do with the medication and all of that. after that, we get into more costs and in, in trying to provide some vocational training skills for the highest solution can only help a few addict at a time. and they are mostly kept for a maximum of 35 or 40 percent of rehabilitated, added c says, falls back into the habit because drugs are cheap and easily above the streets a drug. gotcha. is that increasingly targeting west africa? because a weak law enforcement, what am i better security features, whole community engagement will help to curb the rise and smuggling and use of how drugs are we are going to skid. that level of drugs here in wash, doug about warner media, not a drugs. we going to get a dog drugs door, the keys in court. it went the way with this effect of

a hot air. what dog is the cause? this them live here recently passed a new drug little, but many here tell me is the corruption won't allow it to succeed. that he says he's no recovered. but that of science, he still struggling but at least for now he's called a temporary job at the rehab center. how many degrees or did you see that? what role you focused on is that for what prime minister sharon con has been given a 2nd jail sentence within 24 hours con, onto his wife, or should they be received 14 years for corruption on cheese, that he was given 10 years for the can state secrets the crickets at tons, politician, is already serving a 3 year sentence, often another condition for corruption study. 2 years since he was removed from office. after losing upon him, a treat vote of confidence. place in paris have arrested at least 18 farmers when they attempted to block the main wholesale market with vehicles was employed in

advice of the prime minister. i'm going to says the name on it says he wants to be more active. that's it. business on the back. the an oil rich get rock is facing a crisis and a final bike to results. water, as dams built by its upstream neighbors with strict flow, under investment and climate change, or exacerbate the situation. now when regions were settled, funding 1st emerge, pensions are rapidly rising. people in power investigates whether this could be the last generation to farm the land. iraq's walter was part to of, to on a jersey to when i asked him, did you think park what can hurt you? she said her besides are supposed to kill plants, not people. yeah. and again,

he's relying on the regulators. right. and the companies to be telling them the truth. and so when the companies are not truthful and the regulators are lacks, in doing their jobs, people are put a risk and this is the end result. the, the markets aren't as busy as noting the single largest employee in palestine is the palestinian authority of p a. the palestinian authority remains the key economic drive of the palestinians, implying a 143000 people. the p a is currently paying an average between 60 and 75 percent of salaries due to each worker because israel is withholding the tax. this is the trade crossing between palestine and israel is rarely saved or released the money, but with deductions and no money for the employees. and goals of the last president, jo gordon, is putting in tremendous amounts of pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu

to release the focus to the palestinian authority. to us though, is clear. if once a revitalized pe to take a vengeful controlling goes off the wall, anything other than a week, the a is not something is wrong. ones currently view far as he is weak as it is, that the past it's getting weaker of the dozens of bodies discovered dumped in a garza school. young witnesses say the civilians execute devised rarely for the carriage. austin, this is i'll just hear a lot from the host coming out st bottles and is really on sort of the strikes and i get hot, it's sweet and wounded in con eunice, you and that refugee agency research has been forced to leave the 6 new and
