a flesh and blogs of the protest, jeanette and south africa tells the world cold. israel's racial impression upon us 10 years has been allowed to last for far too long. and we looked at how israel profits from illegal settlements leaving palestinians impoverished the . so we're going to start in gaza with these ready amenities targeting heavily populated areas of the stress and strikes of fucking parts of this agenda and also to neighborhoods in guys and city. there are reports of bodies scott, to industry, at least 29195 palestinians of being killed since israel launched as war on guys on thought. a couple of resume is live for us in raw for city in southern gas. i talk to us about these air strikes of the yes, in fact there was a such actually such as strikes across different areas in the gauze district in the
5:02 pm
past 24 hours. at least $100.00, the free palestinians have to report the skills when to deposit 24 hours the due to the is ready military campaigns. i targeted residential houses and civil infrastructure. we have been actually focused on attacks on the, on the i'm of hospital where the is very often the re, according to the palestinians where the course of society has targets at the 3rd floor of the hospital. as there was a dictation for the united, for under well in decal, yards of the hospital, alongside that there was actually destruction and water lines that to provide me with the services for all departments. so this medical facility and we have been hearing, also loud explosions, animals that rocked refugee camp where at least 10 palestinians have been killed in n s troy that targeted uh, residential building. i'm typing mosley target to this area in the past. oh, exactly. oh, so in the book c neighborhood which has also been widely attacked now we've been
5:03 pm
hearing also close contact. fighting between almost volunteers in the east very metric troops in the as a 2 neighborhoods in the kansas city as but this area had witnessed move bombardment by the east, by the onto the back of the desk told today how drives it alongside with casualties amongst civilians. to more than $140.00 promising is have to report of injured in the past 24 hours target. thank you very much indeed. thought a couple of them. a lot for us and roughly in the southern gospel is one of the beginning of $29.00 fighters and the palestinians in gaza. israel's allied, the united states has called for a temporary cease fire quote. as soon as it is practical, washington's drafted the un security council resolution supporting a temporary truce. its already announced at times to veto the text backed by out of nations. when the council votes later on tuesday, that dropped calls from an immediate humanitarian series far and rejects the force displacement of palestinians, america's resolution ones against israel's planned ground,
5:04 pm
defensive and rafa saying it will further despise palestinians potentially into neighboring countries, such as egypt. we're going to cost to our diplomatic attitude, james base, is that the un headquarters in new york so that the vote on the all julian draft resolution is going to take place within the next door, but it doesn't look as though it's got much of optimism of actually going through for us is already said it's going to vote at done a yeah, i'm afraid what we have is the situation of the situation here. the security council is depressingly familiar. we've seen this play out 3 times before a vote in the security council on the resolution that's drafted by the arab member of the security council that now since the beginning of the is out jerry a, the us has already made it clear it is going to veto that resolution. now it's time you'll see the ambassadors come down here into the security council chain, but that and then in and now it's time will have that vote of the security council
5:05 pm
as i say, the us on box, the linda thomas greenfield has made it clear she does not like this out, you are in draft. she said that actually this dropped, she believes to make the situation on the ground was rather than baxa. and she said she's going to be to know down to about that. i think the thing to watch for is what the rest of the council to last time there was a vote. it was pretty clear, it would have cost if it had not been for the us. because all of the council supported the resolution calling for sees file with one other exception, and that's the u. k, which abstained will not be the the situation when we see those hands go up in an hour's time. certainly, i know that the us is perhaps hope hoping that the u. k. might be joined in an extension by some of the security council members. they'll be putting pressure on all the members of the security council. i the ones to watch full of the close us allies who, who sit on the council. and notably, i think japan and south korea but are among the last time they voted for an agency
5:06 pm
spot. and i think that's still the most likely option this time. and there's actually we're saying linda thomas greenfield, us and box it says she doesn't like the all gerry and drive to what's different about the american draft then as well. that's the surprising thing wrong because we knew this out here in draft was coming, we knew the vote was happening this morning and and now is time. and yet 24 hours ago it emerged that the us had come up with its own draft of this. i think i'm good some, some of the other members of the security council, they were coming up with this at the 11th hour. the us making it clear though it doesn't want this to be voted on today. in fact, it doesn't necessarily want it to be voted on straight away once it is room for negotiations. but it is interesting. and i think this is perhaps the most interesting part of the story. this new us drop because it does show that the us position is changing some wat, they all for the 1st time talking about
5:07 pm
a c spa. they don't use that language a tool in any of that previous draw. so they put to the security council though. let's be clear that talking about a temporary spot as soon as practicable. so the idea of a c spa rather than the old jewelry and draft, which is an immediate c swap forwarded by the security council. but there are other things in this us drop that i think is rarely is not going to like. there's a passage about rough. i remember israel has wound up by ramadan. that could be this, this rafa offensive. the us is saying very clearly doesn't agree with that. in fact, let me quote such a major ground defensive should not to proceed on the current circumstances. and there's also a tool that being the buffers own topped out in gauze and condemnation, obviously, right? the government ministers and some of the statements they've made about the populating goals. so certainly things in this new us new us draft resolution. israel would not
5:08 pm
like what's not clear is when israel plans to start negotiations oft up, what we expect to be a b type in the next hour on the x resolution. and when they would have to bring this resolution to a vote and how the rest of the security council would respond, because the idea just of a safe spot when practicable at a temporary sweet spot that's not really acceptable to some other members of the security council. and notably, i think rusher has put a red line there, but if it's only a temporary cease fire at some point in the future, that's not good enough for it. and it would use it's v tech. so we still have deadlock here, the security council, but interesting for the us position. seems to be changing a little bit. hm. i am just reading that said the date start date for ramadan. john, about march 11 times 11. so the window of opportunity to get something done, james is getting smaller and smaller all the time. we're going to be checking in with you, of course, in the next hour or so. it doesn't about to get us a james bayes at un headquarters in new york.
5:09 pm
the 2nd day of hearings into the galaxy, the visuals, 56 year occupation palestinian territory is underway. the united nations highest corps after pa this time put forward his 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 pop type. you said the i. c j's hearings could help bringing into a system of racial oppression that have no place in the modern world. so i cannot overstate the significance of this advisory opinion for the public dean 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 and apaches which have questionably been permitted to continue for far too long. the occupation alone
5:10 pm
tests persisted for 56 years as the un special to put 2 on the occupied by the student. instead of please explain intent attempted to, as 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, as the precedent that defiance part is why it has already elect to the ceiling of tens of thousands of college students, including an estimate to say, 2000 codes in the past 4 months. i low these not to me ask, but to stick to mr. president the flesh and plots of the part of student people. so the reviews and box it up to the evidence that israel's behavior towards the palestinians has no justification. he said they're being treated like objects that
5:11 pm
can be thrown away. is it a defense? this of saying able to tell a tape as the necessity of rice for the facing how much the king then will show that abs familiar objects. this twisted logic is actions and laying waste to the guns us through killing naming tens of thousands of innocent civilians. the pricing of the fort worth, the basic means of so 5 foot, while this displacing factually, the entire population of the 2230000 people are not justified under any circumstances. is actions have sufficiently different when the iced, the city, and by police 3, think of them as dispensable objects, rather than human beaks. of these disagreeable acts which have brought about formal
5:12 pm
accusation before the 16th court. that is, that i am is committing genocide against the student population. so boston's outside, the international court of justice and the hey step one of the main arguments that we had this morning. but we've heard from us 6 countries already. and now the 7 to believes has stopped us. it's a oral arguments and we will hear from for more this uh, this afternoon and this morning we could see that there was some, a real agreement among the countries that the, the occupation of the palestinian territories is unlawful. south africa, cold of the colonial apartheid regime, or this and the israel to stop the occupation immediately and remove all the illegal sacraments and also pay reparations to the palestinian people who have been suffering so much in from the countries. we heard also from the netherlands and belgium left had strong ties with as well. so far. they have also been using quite
5:13 pm
some demi, i'm from them, nations towards s routes uh occupation. i'm calling for the self determination of the palestinian people, which they said is a very strong universal right. and step of as far as the rest of the, the arguments are concerned in terms of the legal aspects wants to dot yeah, i think what's the going to here for the rest of the week as well? is this discussion about the permanency of the occupation as row has long argued that the occupation of the tire twist is temporary because it's needed for south defense and against aggression. but as also the palestinians have argued on monday this, this occupation is not time for you at all. it's permanent because not only for the effects that we see on the ground, but also statesman, it's coming from. but it's rarely officials, even the prime minister has been saying that there is no,
5:14 pm
there's no intention to leave these territories and that, that will be there will be no probably staying in the states. so that's very clear that that is a very important legal argument that we will hear and the next coming days as well . so thank you very much indeed start voss, and those are the international court of justice in the hague. jo, blown as a member of your organization and south african jews for a free polish time. she explains what outcome they expect from the court. ruling of outcome really needs to be understood on 2 levels. one is the legal level where we may well see the court ruling in favor against the united favor of the in the galaxy of the occupation. but the question then becomes at the political level, what kind of ramifications will we see back coming from that? as we know, israel has been in flagrant violation of its obligations under international.
5:15 pm
so that remains to be seen. one of the things we look at as a sub for continues for free palestine because you know, many of us have kind of come and become sub africans through a process of, of settlement and escape the pilgrims and the nazi holocaust in, in, in, in eastern europe and i think this moment of 1948 that was just brought up by one of your your previous speak is, is really important where both the genocide convention is accepted by the united nations general assembly. and we have these 2 par, taped states established in, in south africa in palestine on the back of the not. so i think as an estimate of sellers said today in, in the hearings that is a deep connection between the pi taped states and the struggle against the parted. i believe he's the to the moon for memories of the struggle
5:16 pm
against the part 8 in, in south africa and in palestine. start ahead and i'll just say the zillow in israel. recall the around passengers and a drawing diplomatic dispute over the war in garza and a medical emergency in south korea. why thousands of training doctors are started on an definite stripe. the the hello. we will say some very nice to weather into a good positive charter way with the next a day or 2. we've got heavy rain into a central path. this weather system here, just running right back into the hearts of try to bring you some really big down, pulls inside, flooding can said, certainly a possibility and loss is that pretty cold a fatty why sprayed a wintry mix of rain, slaten, snow freezing rain as well with these to come together,
5:17 pm
so that's us know that stretches across the yellow sea into the korean peninsula of northern parts of japan. cooling off somewhat more into a toki i just 7 celsius as we go through this. they sell the merits of japan. so you can very heavy rain for time, maybe, right. we'll continue across the central and southern parts of china as we go through the next steps. type of thing pretty unsettled for those central pass code to the north mulberry. i'm settled across the western side of boy, much of innovation. i think some live the down poles as per usual in the china and retry and south a lot of trying to settle whether to in too much of india, but is west of the steps which has been just slipping out. the background of don norman focused on the fall, most of india across the place that's going to continue making his way further east was easing his way. i have a 2 voice mails on pos, abundance dash the expo 2023. the world. the fascination

parts of the subjects and also to neighborhoods in gaza. city that all reports of funding sconces in the streets is wanting. garza has killed at least 29195 other studies view. and security council is set to vote in the next hour on a resolution submitted by all julia calling for an immediate monetary and see as far guidance the us, which is expected to be told that by selection as drafted arrival, text supporting a temporary troops view as high as court is holding its 2nd day of hearings into the galaxy of israel's 56 year occupation of protest, any intent and change after pa this time for the forwarded case. on monday, 51 case of the countries are presenting bear on over the rest of the way south africa's representative, as compared israel's occupation to apologize to us foreign ministry spokesman, mazda of mohammed on sundays, says negotiations between the hamas and israel. i've had a roadblock in recent days, is that the cost of the prime minister related to negotiations, blame the doctor,
5:20 pm
humanitarian conditions and gaza. and that i thought of us that the past 3 weeks. so some progress between the ongoing medications between how much and is right, how about the last 3 days. so mo, dispute see it a ticket that, that decides if i'm key is business, namely the community and situation as well as the do understand us adopted by the international community has been negatively impacting the disputes, namely this and as they also draw a comparison between the world and guys and that of ukraine. russell said has more from the a spokesperson full cut that was for the minister. i said that in the last week that has been several cut that he made it to the airplane taken due to measurement, attending aide, to an outage in egypt at that a is expected to be distributed to, to, to gaza strip. however, when and how is not clear as it has been so much disputed,
5:21 pm
particularly in the last couple of days. and he said that he cannot do more details due to the delicate nature of the ongoing negotiations. he also said there has been several guidance being taken to do. i have to receive the medical care regarding these various physicians. i bought this position intermediation. who said that these expositions are just for the is rarely domestic support. think of consumption and definitely they're not helping them edition a force, and it's not time for the speculation or the money positions, but rather the international community should be focusing on how to forward their, their loved to who meditating aid. because distribution in gaza is catastrophic. then you also say that now one was one medium posting is all to gather in rough. uh, and this is rarely, he's decided to extend the military campaign on rough. uh that is just going to woodson distribution as a bought one medium, people are already dealing with the harsh winter conditions with
5:22 pm
a start wishon and ongoing is rarely bombardments across the guys street. and he also said that if israel extent is minutes, a campaign on guys that's going to have a significant impact on the ongoing negotiations and mediation of force it by contact. you also have to be quite critical to where this is read actions and the weak response of the international community as well. just so that has been several united nations resolutions and also the provisional measures announced by the international court of justice, but his route has ignored all of them. and if these measures and the resolutions i'm not going to be at by, by who said that people are going to more and more question very could i have the ability to have these international institutions. this was to have that, oh, to 0. the, the village re calling us on boss that are to israel and a growing dispute about the war and goes up on sunday resilient president lewis and i feel the descent said israel is committing genocide and compared its actions to
5:23 pm
the holocaust. israel says lunar it has crossed a red line john home and has more by that. where am i to upload? it was this comment from brazilian president, we in the seo lula dot silver known by many simply is lula that starts and things of that. what is happening in the gaza strip, but the palestinian people has no power low in other historical moments. how do i see so in fact it did exist when hitler decided to kill the just comparing is rose mass killing of palestinians in gaza. so the holocaust drew an immediate reaction from israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, president still by his grace the memory of 6000000 jews worded by the nazis and his demonize. the jew estate like the most virulent anti semites, he should be ashamed of himself. and on monday,
5:24 pm
israel's foreign minister summoned brazil's ambassador to the country's holocaust memorial for a public pointed dressing down. culminating in this you will settle, model, and way as i asked to convey to president lulu would not forget, no, forgive, and i declare him my name and the name of the citizens of those royal as persona non grata and his royal i'm as long as he does not apologize to you and take it back. the president lula is not fucking down cooper's it was and busted it to israel for consultations. and some of these radium baskets presume for an explanation as this diplomatic dispute continues. john home and i'll just see the israel's illegal occupation or protestant entitled plays is such a benefit as he is really economy for decades while making the life of palestinians a never ending struggle of autumn. gaza is damaging the economy in the occupied westbank, unemployment, inflation and mass close of business is just the tip of the iceberg, which we my medical expense in the occupied westbank and why they're running
5:25 pm
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 name of the closer we hold our goods, like a blue jean as an papers. what does that open market on sundays we do not send anything at all. even before the war, there were hundreds of his rarely checked points. there are many more now palestinian businesses comp 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 many palestinians from vital natural resources such as water, oil and gas,
5:26 pm
and disrupted trade and exports. while is 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 of 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 status of how the economy exec does production and income region such as subdivision motels, investor s. additionally, 29 percent of the existing companies have closed up with israel cutting off its job's market for palestinians. one and 3 of them are unemployed. food prices have only been on the rise causing increasing consent. shops are impacted people impact
5:27 pm
them because of a full prices. they don't have jobs anymore. and so even before the crisis, we already struggled 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 very economy for years to come. well, further costing palestinians deepening poverty and disrupting their lives to be treatment with in co, out to 0. the londoners to decide if we can explain to julian a son who's trying to appeal against his extradition to the united states and his family and supporters say they fear for his life. if he's transferred to the us to face espionage charges or the faucet has moved from outside the cool attributes on to support is legal team. his family members say this is essentially is lost jobs
