stop escalating violence in pakistan as voting begins in the countries general election. one police officer was killed at the polling station and the us admits to a drone striking, a rock that targeted and on group linked to a rock. 3 people have been to the beginning, southern gaza where he is really army has once again bombed homes and rough uh, at least 14 people have been killed to women and 5 children are among the dead. dozens more have been injured. israel is expanding its offensive into rough uh worth tens of thousands of displaced palestinians are seeking refuge. also 0 is honey. my mood is in rough and southern gaza. so yesterday, honey anthony, blinking, told is really, is that they are killing too many civilians in gossip, but there is no sign that the is really military are slowing down when did you see overnight? the yes
9:02 am
sir, i live there. they're no signs of, of this is going to in day any time soon or where soon we're going to see at least they in a reduction in the number of civilian casualties or the, and the level of destruction. but as of early hours of last night, extended all the hours of the night, the nearly hours of this morning, the ongoing constant artillery showing get along the borders. there is also heavy shows of, from the naval force that credit there all the way to the coast on the road. that's the western part of rough city, including lost the area where palestinians displaced palestinians had been filtering since the beginning of the war. but we're talking about an intense bombing can pay and targeting more residential homes in western part of the city. and the central part, as well as the eastern sides, very close to the gyptian gauze, a border claiming the, the,
9:03 am
the life of more civilians including women and children. and it's important to point out, not only that, but what it blinking has been pressuring this very government to do. but also since the uh, the security council and the requested an increase of a humanitarian aid. as a result of that was we see in more depth and destruction and more civilians were the victims of ongoing bombing. and since the ruling of the international court of justice, demanding israel to it, just stop old genocide. the acts across the gaza strip. we only see in the contrary, more death and destruction and more people are, are dying as the bombing continues so far. the attacks concentrated on dropbox, that's in the southern part of a city where more than half of the population have been a crammed here. since the beginning of the war and expansion, the military operations,
9:04 am
as well as in the sense from the area. and it's very consistent with what nathan now stated yesterday. oh said there are 3 areas that the military operations are going to be expanded to include in growth. and there is velocity and the western parts of and they'll say it on refuge account. that's in the central area. yeah, honey, i wanted to ask you about that because there's a lot of talk as you will know about a possible deal to end the fighting. but yesterday the is really prime minister says that he is aiming for total victory. so how are palestinians talking about this? how are they thinking about this? how are they absorbing the the as well so far of the palestinians are, are looking forward to the uh, to seeing the day where all of these, uh, the acts of war are going to and then and into their ongoing suffering and killing is going to stop but so hard,
9:05 am
these really narratives is based on what they've had is targeted the right after. cuz over the 7th, it's a total awards. the objectives of the where haven't been achieved. it's a neat anyhow, is insisting on not ending the war until the, the, according to him, the elimination of old. how much power on the ground up for the people in the ground here. the talks about a ceasefire. a possible uh, in truth, it is mainly the, the torture before death. because the, you know, in the, the, within the past couple of months there was one week of that sees fire and everybody was hoping to, it'd be an extension i did. but unfortunately, it's things turns very bad and there was a surgeon there in the bombing across the guster, more civilian feet, civilians. 3 been people were killed, but here what's going on right now, they don't want this to be happening again. they want and, and, and into the water and all acts of war across the i didn't want to do live with
9:06 am
through another mom. and so for 3, where the, how just to wait for another cycle of intense bombing, they are hoping that it's going to end to end. they don't, it anyhow is, is very selective and is not going to be bending easily because he knows as long as the words, the word this word for long as it means he is a stay and in power. and he will do everything possible to continue the work to save himself from all the other related issues and as well. but for people here, it's time as the are growing, exhaust exhausted it to grow and tired, they're stressed and they want to see an end to all of this. uh, honey, my hood reporting from rough and southern. gotcha, thank you very much for all of that honey. let's get a little bit more about that intense effort yesterday in his realities, conversation about a possible ceasefire deal to us secretary of state anthony blinking says there is still room for an agreement. after is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu
9:07 am
rejected a deal. the agreement was proposed by a mouse and mediation with the us and guitar. mom's room reports from telling me less than a day after how much submitted its response to a potential cause, a cease fire plan, us secretary of state. and to me blinking arrived in israel, hoping to build on that moment. but hours after meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu is real all but rejected the current framework for association of hostilities the gum con guzman. so any final feel hope now is the time for the is riley defense forces to allow safe car doors for the residence of rough, or we shall continue destroying the capabilities of hamas until we achieve that. and i emphasize we have no other option but decisive victoria how much for its part said that unlike is real, they have taken a positive approach to the cease fire proposal and then it then. yeah, oh, well, how cool, but mid to no end of government,
9:08 am
a seeking to continue to mislead the public opinion in israel and to prolong it's a christian despite the loss has been sustaining and personnel and equipment with the attempts to hold the war, seemingly at a standstill one significant point of contention continues to be whether any agreed to cease fire would be permanent. despite the diplomatic setbacks at a press conference in tell of eve, lincoln insisted a ceasefire deal between israel and how much was still a possibility. we had an opportunity today to discuss with the israeli government, the response that i'm us sent last night to the proposal that the united states cutter in egypt had put together to bring the remaining officers home and extend the mentoring pause. what i can tell you about these discussions is that while there are some clear non starters in a mazda is response, we do think it create space for agreement to be reached. and we will work at that
9:09 am
relentlessly until we get there. it was an intense day of talks for america's top diplomat. at the end of it, anthony blinking did offer a positive outlook on ultimately finding a path to peace. but he also gave few details about how american now and visions finding a way to end the war, how much i'm doing, what does it tell of william laurence is a former us diplomat and professor of international relations at american university in washington, dc. he says blinking, we'll be looking for ways to make this proposal. work is blinking in terms of civilian casualties. it's something he hammered away at going all the way back to october. remember that 7 our work having a meeting with the americans, mostly talked about protecting civilians and not actually the war aims. and of course, he's been very much focused on the humanitarian side of this even more than the hostages at times, which has been more, bill burns is per view, but the americans really want to protect the civilians from bonds and with supplies
9:10 am
. and they've been very frustrated with the lack of progress in that respect. these outrage rejections by netting. yeah. when the press, i think doing can sort of gotten used to them. but it was interesting when he was describing the how much counter proposal he kept repeating that there was a lot of space in here. and the guitar is also said that the, how much propose a little counter proposal was, was quite positive that there was a lot of room for maneuver in there. so with, with unclear is, is nothing, you know, pastoring negativity, because it's sort of pandering to the far right and trying to keep that coalition together. or is, are there really many objectionable things in there that is real, could never concede to. i think the biggest issue is, you know, will some version of how must be in power after just 4 and a half months. 3 phase choose choose that's been proposed. and i, i think eventually they'll have to come up with some sort of group under 5 back, which is form or how most technocrats,
9:11 am
but it can no longer be how much israel will accept united nations secretary general. antonio gutierrez says that he is extremely worried by reports of israel's potential military assault on the russell. whichever is warranted that strikes would worse than what is already a humanitarian nightmare. or diplomatic editor james bay's reports from un headquarters in new york. let me begin by the un secretary general antonio terrace briefing the general assembly on his priorities for the year. a help gauze was at the top of his list, the scale and speed of the conflict. worse than anywhere else in the world, in his 70 is in the job and he will on the death toll may soon rise even more. and that may especially a lot of body parts that these really means that he intends to focus next on dropbox. when hundreds of thousands of palestinians, it'd been squeezed in a desperate search for safety. such an action would explode naturally in please walk is already
9:12 am
a humanitarian night to man with untold regional consequences. later, his special coordinator, normally based in jerusalem, brief reporters here at un headquarters i the spoke moments of to prime minister netanyahu rejected him asked his latest proposal. we we know very well the sweetly snow even better, but still planning that having a very active warfare in the area of rough with mold and 1200000 people assembled and rough. uh and kim shalom being the entry point at the moment. the only one actively for you, many terry and supplies would be completely catastrophic. the rasa is garza's lifeline and un security council just paused 2 resolutions. calling for humanitarian aid into gauze, it'd be scaled up. this is also ordered by the international court of justice of
