rece charles, come back to promote grace and replanted off the coast. it's fun for me, i do. but the only thing they can do to protect their environment in the race to expand the these statistics, mr. president, the flesh and blocks of the public student people in south africa tells the world chords, israel's racial depression and palestinians has been allowed to last for far too long. the time about this, and this is all this even live from don't also coming up united states us the un security council to vote on a temporarily c, expiring jobs as, as a major. it is really offensive and rough,
3:01 pm
i'm sure not to go ahead. we're going to look at how we're legal is rarely settled, so making palestinian lives are never ending struggling in brazil and israel recall that on bus. it is in a growing diplomatic dispute of israel's war on guns, the 2nd day of hearings into the legality of israel's 56 year occupation, who published in the entire try is on the way the united nations highest court after palestine put forward its case on monday. 51 countries are presenting their arguments over the rest of the week. the representative of south africa compared the is ready occupation to a policy. he said the i c. j. his hearings could help bring an end to a system of a racial oppression that had no place in the modern world. a soft office that cannot overstate the significance of this adviser, legal pin for the public,
3:02 pm
jean and people more especially the legal to connect to the as ation of the situation of occupation and the imposition of the system of racial oppression into politics which have questionably been committed to continue for far too long. the occupation alone has to persisted for 56 years as the un special to put 2 on the occupied, published in intended, please explained. intent attended to the occupation back is as been conducted in profound defiance of international law. and hundreds of united nations resolutions with scanned, pushed back from the international community. consequently, if it's the president that define spot is why it has already elected to the cleaning of tens of thousands of other students, including an estimate to say 2000 codes in the past. 4 months i low
3:03 pm
these not to me asked the to stick to mr. president, the flesh and plots of the part of student people. sorry, baby is on bus it or to the netherlands side. israel's behavior towards the palestinians had no justification. you said they were being treated like objects that could be thrown away. those are the defense, this of seeing able to tell a tape as then it says total price for the facing how much the king then will show that abs familiar objects. this is twisted, logic is actions and laying waste to the guns us through or killing. naming tens of thousands of innocent civilians the pricing of the fort worth the basic means of suffice for while this displacing factually. the entire population of the 2230000 people are not justified under any circumstances.
3:04 pm
as it is, actions have sufficiently determine the iced, the city, and i believe 3, think of them as dispensable objects, rather than human beaks. these disagreeable acts which have brought about formal accusation before the 16th court. that is that i am is committing genocide against the student population. mr. voss since outside the international court of justice in the hague. one of the main arguments that we had this morning step of the yeah, you heard the very strong statements there by a south africa and to saudi arabia. they, they have both. and also the other countries have to be been listening to have been calling for this uh a me just the end to what they call it, illegal occupation by of palestinian land. and also to have all these illegal sacraments, remove an off and the mines reparation for the palestinian people who have suffered
3:05 pm
so much. we have heard from 6 country so far. the last one was belgium. i also saying that the occupation was unlawful and has to and there's only one country so far and that's the novel in to it has been a slightly more monitoring about their opinion. they also said that the palestinians have a right to self determination. but the, the legal advisors to the foreign ministry was making an argument that the, the occupation that is seen also as a temporary thing. that's also something that's as well sat. but most of the other countries have sofa argue that the occupation is a permanent thing. start wants to die looking at the legal aspects of the arguments that were put forward. the whole is interesting that of course we have seen the case before the genocide case that has the south africa has brought in a the know this is a different case,
3:06 pm
but the genocide case is also sort of over how you know for this are these arguments here because of course, the situation in gaza is so urgent that these cases can simply not be separate from each other. so as south africa sides, the genocide is also uh, still happening in guy. so, but also a part hides. so both of these terms, genocide, apartheid of our we strongly hurt here and these oral arguments that we've been hearing so far this afternoon. we will continue with a not a 4 countries and we will hear their arguments as well. but so far i can definitely say that the fall majority of the countries we've heard so far. i calling for an immediate answer to this on lawful occupation. stuff that's not inside the international court of justice and the hang a lot. south africa's long being an advocate of palestinian rights last months that took a israel to the international court of justice, accusing it of genocide in gaza from it. and then i looked back at the history of
3:07 pm
its support for the palestinians in 1948. so the africans, government, of all white constitutions, legalized racism and segregation of non whites, a state policy. the africans word for the separation is a par tate. in the same year, the state of israel was declared triggering the 1st arab is ready will zion is submitted to forces expelled at least $750000.00 palestinians from their homes and land gradually captured more than 70 percent of historic palestine over several decades. in 1994 of 2 years of state violence, oppression, and resistance. so that africa held its 1st negotiated democratic vote saw how can i go with them to a parted icon. nelson mandela elected president, what he called his loan with to freedom had arrived. the palestinian land remained occupied. i promise to i promise that is the thing i make a that i will do it all in my best was. busy just thinking and to achieve that he
3:08 pm
had to use, give aquatics of i forget how it would take you to pull the code for the 2 state solution along with the freedom of palestinians from is really occupation. you have, what do you say to come to a similarity in south africa and palestine spoke simply, colonialism for james. so that i think that you found that the international, we're off to somebody to a distance came and saw him play the seller that a funeral. and ending a part that we don't see the same with ballast time. and i think part of that is in fact, that really made showing the way in which they fell as the new state was well, sort of built in to disenfranchise and gaza. since the almost attack and is running october 7 and the resulting department keeping close to $50000.00 palestinians, mid south africa to the international court of justice. choosing his right of genocide again last month. the quote in the hague issued provisional measures against as well sir, including the order to prevent acts of genocide at least,
3:09 pm
but it is really military operations extended into southern gaza. so that africa requested the court issue additional measures. while judges know to that a potential new assault on the 1400000 people in rafa would listen to humanity or in nights may quote, decline to to issue additional measures in israel should comply with its existence . it cannot be business as usual, after the highest court in the land is made the pronunciation, this data is that i just with the legs of mind itself and the implement and comply with the court order. so that's because this is really is in breach of the court orders and the international convention of genocide and wait a minute, i'll just say about john this, but there's, there was a legal occupation of palestinian territories is said to have benefit to these really economy for decades while making the life of palestinians and never ending struggle. water and guys are damaging the economy and the occupied west bank,
3:10 pm
unemployment, inflation and mass closure business is just the tip of the iceberg. dimitri medlink explains in the occupied westbank and why those are running a business is unpredictable. i'm saying is real changes regulations all the time, adding more hurdles with the sound of israel's war on guns a. the occupied westbank has been effectively sealed off. these farm is cannot sell the produce that they've been growing for is really markets feels like that the winds are crossings to as the closer we hold our goods, like a blue jeans and papers go to the open market on sundays, we do not send anything at all, even before the war, there were hundreds of his rarely checked points. the many more now palestinian businesses not reach the main markets to sell that goods. and he has why did they also a grievance in the 19 ninety's calmed up the westbank into 3 zones? a, b, and c with the largest to see almost entirely under is really control. they cut off
3:11 pm
many palestinians from vital natural resources such as water, oil and gas, and disrupted trade and exports. while as rarely settlers did not face restrictions as a result in the 2 previous decades ever expanding illegal supplements added 3 times more value to israel's g. d p. then the combined economic growth of gaza and the occupied westbank. the war has made the disparity even worse. the occupied westbank economy shrank by 22 percent in the last 3 months of 2023 and many businesses closed the federal impact the part about this situation is indeed serious, depending on the sectors of the economy. exec does what production and income region such as subdivision motels, investor s. additionally, 29 percent of the existing companies have clothes and left them with israel cutting off, it's job's market for palestinians. one and 3 of them are unemployed. food prices
3:12 pm
have only been on the rise causing increasing consent. shops are impacted people impact them because of the full price is they don't have jobs anymore. and so even before the crisis, we already struggle with funding and the needs were high. now the needs are even much higher is really surplus, have been using the opportunity to grab even more land, expanding illegal settlements that will benefit these really economy for years to come. while further costing palestinians deepening poverty and disrupting their lives. to meet treatment with in co, out to 0. the international focus on is really saplings and the occupied westbank is increasing with sanctions implemented by the u. s. u. k. and several, you states finest sanctioning 28 is reduced actually, as well as spain is considering its own measures. the blocks top diplomats, joseph brown says 26 of the 27 members are calling for an immediate humanitarian
3:13 pm
pause in gaza. a month ago, members of parliament to portugal, urge the government to have palestine recognized as an independent state, while the spanish prime minister has promised his government will work to ensure palestinian statehood. the belgian government has prized $5400000.00 in support of the international criminal courts investigation into possible war crimes in gaza. need abraham has been in front of an illegal is rarely settled into bethlehem in the occupied westbank. and she explains how the sacraments expanded onto palestinian land. according to peace. now they say 2023 was probably the best a year when it comes to settlers expanding their presence in the occupied west banks . is there also a cause that was in the 19, in 1993 when palestinians in his reading is gathered. they wanted to uh, if they signed an agreement, they said it's going to need to with palestinian statehood. but as we see on the ground, this is becoming more and more difficult. let me show you
3:14 pm
a little bit of where we are, which is near the indian, is where the supplement of hard for mazda is built on. the lines of palestinians hit in jeopardy of a name in bethlehem. and as you can see there, this is a road that is off limits. obviously for palestinians only allowed for as we use it as close to the league and is really supplement that has been expanding and expanding. and even when palestinians it is really as have agreed in very rare times to kind of stop is supplement building 3. is it for a was for the negotiations between the 2 parties. this supplements was one of those that did not see any freeze in the construction. and indeed, you can see that it's still expanding as we speak now with the construction happening with all the facilities around the around the positives will tell you that the fact that those rules are extending further towards occupied territory means that we can probably see the negatives really sucking and expanding even
3:15 pm
further towards this area right here. again, when we talk about supplements, we're not just talking about the building and the land grabs. we're also talking about the facilities that sort of it allow to the circulars infrastructure that they take from the palestinians. but also that they make it much more difficult for palestinians to live in continue attend. geographical continue with the policy is, will tell you that these illegal is really supplements are meant to keep posting is isolated in their own towns and this one in particular, cuts the contiguity between bethlehem, unoccupied is jerusalem. as we say, always there's infrastructure for the sacraments. they take the resources of palestinians, so wherever and whenever, where you look at this post in see the sacraments, the wall, the check points is very vivid manifestations of israel's occupation. and they feel that they've been locked down by the international community time. and again, to allow those supplements to continue a still the head and all the 0 fighting and the occupied was find is really forces
3:16 pm
continues or nightly rates stormy in the city. a 2 of us and villages are anomalous . the highlighted, we got some really nice the weather now brewing up across central pos, up a sailboat. chain of sundry down pulls the will associated with this weather system which links this way out into the south atlantic, where we have our tennessee a and figure rating tropical depression. making his way towards that southeast corner opposite live will stay off shore. i am pleased to say that we go with that chain of rudy live. you shout with a stand by way all the way into believe you something positive pricing, some really heavy, right? see some wet weather that just to the north alvarido and it stays in place as we go on through where to stay. so we think flooding really is a concern here over the coming dice by the samples of hot sunshine in place by the
3:17 pm
north. a fabulous sun shining up towards i told the western side of the country that we will see some live the showers longest spells of right now, the smells of right to making the way across the carrot bay. and this line of cloud and rain stretching right down across the grades around to is pushing down towards costa rica and into panama. moving further east was tuesday. totally fine, and try to the east if that. but we have got some showers coming in here. so we go on through where to stay is the west. the weather makes its way of the east was bright. this guy's come back in behind. not too bad in kingston that they stay just that he sells you as long as he's settled for much of central america. the president biden says, one to 2 state solution for palestinians and israelis. what does anybody believe it's doable? what this is real for? i'm gonna say it back to us foreign policy and what are the long term consequences
3:18 pm
for the region and the world? a quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through here as a theater. we believe everyone has a story. we're hearing the the don't you know, just need a reminder of adults. so is this are the ones highest quote is holding, it's 2nd day of hearings into the legalities of israel's 56 year occupational palestinian territory officer upon assign, put forward its case on monday for to one country. and so presenting fair on humans over the rest of the week. south africa is representative compared israel's occupation to
3:19 pm
a pos site the we're gonna turn our attention now to our special coverage of visitors. war on guys i've taught us for the ministry spokesman much in the home of dollars, sorry, says negotiations between hom, us and israel. i've had a roadblock and recent days is that the cost of the prime minister who loves the negotiations, blamed the dice you monitored in conditions in gaza. and that as of yet that the past 3 weeks. so some progress between the ongoing negotiations between high math and is where i live or the last 3 days. so mo dispute see it a ticket that the decides if i'm key is business, namely the bottom i'm an attorney and situation as well as the do you understand us adopted by the international community has been negatively impacting the disputes, namely this and guys, they also do a comparison between the,
3:20 pm
the war and guys and that of ukraine versus others. joining us on live up from the hot understanding results and talking about the latest and humanitarian aid and also outlining cost i was positioned about, is there any accusations? what more can you tell us, russell? and indeed he said that in the last week there has been several cuts out of the ministry airplanes getting the a 2 hour ish in egypt and been expecting this. i'm going to turn in a to be distributed to guys out of when and how that's not clear yet because it had been so many disputes over the last couple of days. and now he can not give the details because of the, the, the delicate nature of the ongoing negotiations. and although the 90 said, and the last week, the cut that has received several postings from guys for the medicare and in the coming days. also that would be more and more palestinians coming to do have for a to be to, to, to receive the medical care. when it comes to these red accusations regarding cut
3:21 pm
this position of not being objective into mitigation of force. it says that these statements from the top is read or officials are business and they are, for, is rarely as domestic consumption. he says, are these claims or not has been the mediation a force and is not the time for the speculations or monday relations about rather to focus on humanitarian aid. because the situation in gaza is quite a catastrophic. and that's why i said that now the international community needs to act. so weekly and cut task force to said has been appreciated by the international community. but now the focus must be on humanitarian, 8, and russell in the background to all of this. of course, the start of this potential is really offensive on the city of alpha in the southern gaza. was there any indication what kind of impact that's having on mediation efforts to to said now, well, most around 1000000 people would get an in, in, in rough, uh,
3:22 pm
and they are dealing with the harsh winter conditions. they are dealing with the star ration and ongoing is rarely bombardments across the street. and now we say that if israel decides to extend his music and being on the roof, i, that is just going to listen to him in italian cries, there were some distribution there. and it says that definitely such emitted through campaign is going to have a significant impact on the, on green mitigation of force and the negotiations. and he says they've got that as a mediator, is very much legally against such a military campaign and according to match the community to put more pressure on israel to program to such an action. and it also has been quite critical to where these really actions and the, the, the week of the action of the domestic community as well. to say that the provisional measures taken by the domestic court adjusted, had been ignored by israel. and now if is where it is not going to abide by disproportional measures, then people more and more questioning the better kind of ability and the functionality of the international institutions as well. so thank you very much.
3:23 pm
indeed, the rest of us out of talking to us from the what else to the kenning of 29000 palestinians in gaza, israel's allies, united states, has called for a temporary cease fire quote. as soon as it is practical, washington's drafted a un security council resolution supporting a temporary truce. it's already announced have time to veto the text backed by out of nations. when a council votes later on tuesday, that draft calls for an immediate humanitarian, cx, 5, and rejects the force displacement of palestinians. when americans resolution warns against israel's planned ground, defensive and rough i saying is gonna fund the displace palestinians potentially into neighboring countries, such as egypt from the un headquarters of new york. here's i'll just is diplomatic extra. james base important developments here at the united nations with show the perhaps us policy towards gauze is beginning to change for weeks. the u. s. has
3:24 pm
been opposed to a draft resolution for the security council proposed by algeria, which was due to be put to the vote on choose day cooling for an immediate c spa. but now at the last minute, the us has proposed its own draft resolution and it mentions the words the spa, nothing to meet you, one, but what it says is a temporary spot in garza. as soon as practicable, and this us resolution also condemns the idea of a ground incursion by israel into rafa. it says that under the current circumstances such an incursion should not proceed the us deputy and best the robot would. so they decided to put forward the own proposal because they believed the out. jerry and one was not going to make things better on the ground. look, we're very concerned about the overall situation there. i mean, you know, it's getting worse every day and we're very concerned about it. and we want to do something that can impact what's going on on the ground. we just think the algerian resolution isn't going to have that impact,
3:25 pm
that we think is important. and that's why we're looking at other options to see what we can do from a practical stamp going to really make a difference on the ground. so there are now 2 competing dropped resolutions. what's the view of the un secretary general? the secretary john would like to see 1st of all on the ground is the humanitarian ceasefire. the immediate release of all uh, hostages, increasing humanitarian access. he would like to see the security council of speak with one voice on this issue which has been challenging the new us draft resolution also rejects the idea of reducing the size of gaza with the setting up of a buffer zone and condemns is right. the government ministers, who called for the resettlement of gauze, what's not clear, is how the rest of the security council are going to respond. more negotiation seemed likely. james pays out as the era of the united nations. they're both health

3:28 pm
and sea blockade of gaza has stifled opportunities before the war. the strip had one of the highest literacy rates in the world, but it also had one of the highest rates of unemployment. no more than 4 months, baldwin has destroyed almost every faucet of palestinian existence come in metal, and she looks at how israel's assault garza is also an attempt to wipe out its future a boon under land and sea brocade. even before the war, these brothers prospects were limited, but his ready bones have now killed the parents and scott, them for life. oh wow. wow, that's in the start of the new and it was the 06 to find the

3:30 pm
mainly delivered by hon. almost half the population have struggled to find what is under that. we, on the biggest, for some slow, we need our country. they have destroyed everything. they have destroyed the future of our children. they left nothing. no schools, no universities, nothing clean and well rebuilding. garza seems a long way off. palestinians want the brocade to end for good and to have the chance to shape deadlines. free from is really control. camille and other like on does era. brazil is re calling it some boss that are case reopened in a growing dispute about the war and gaza on sunday. brazilian presidents lose enough feel of this of the said israel is committing genocide. it compared its actions to the holocaust. israel's has little has crossed a red line drawn home as more by that where am i to upload? it was this comment from brazilian president read.
