8:03 am
a communication device that they had with them, that the accurate exposes on the streets. the scale of the attack is clear. hundreds language, the for blood even days seeking help has below official has called is the biggest security breach. and it's year long. conflict with israel has bullet has recently switched to using pages as a more secure alternative to the groups leader hudson. this roller called on his spiders to a band and smartphones appearing israel's ability to hacked at devices. the switch was meant to enhance security, but the may have created a new weakness. the attack spend multiple locations across lebanon, suggesting a coordinated and sophisticated operation. while israel hasn't commented so far, this comes just hours of to reset to have stopped his bullet attacked on a swim. tuesdays attack in loveland, only seen as a significant escalation. after months of cross border attacks by israel and has
8:04 am
spa x, as i move out to 0, the funeral services have been held for some of the victims. thousands of people attended this one from the armoire, the son of hezbollah, member of parliament, dudley armoire, has below official says, my id was scaled when the device he was carrying exploded. he says assigned itself to either a senior official square in jail. before some serious a members of hezbollah have also been injured by exploding pages that pro government media says 11 members of the onto board. critically wounded by blasts on their devices near damascus. opposition monitors, say, another 18 members were injured. they need lip alley hush. him has this report from bailout. the way i find is of the american university hospital in the which one of the 10s of hospitals across the lab and on that received a people killed or injured seeing what's the know now as the page attack that target says this page of devices has by most be held by has all the members and the
8:05 am
billing. so according to official numbers, the injured off along 3000 does a please try people, chose to the moment on a lot of people are injured with the conditional critical situation. but this reflects also the amount of escalation and tension between the 2 sides to be this is one of the most sophisticated, a multi layered attacks in the history of the, this a confrontation between casual law. and this is what was able to use this as much as the law is accusing, is out of doing, was able to infiltrate the supply chain lock and hitting one of the main latest. the layoff command controls which is very sensitive to his line, especially in the situation of this wide range confrontation that's been going on for the last 11 months. now,
8:06 am
many people are anticipating how his allies going to retaliate to this attack. and whether this is going to have an impact on the border between 11 and this was as is, was phase for ferrying. now live in those funds from beta. how should i just let's take a closer look at what we know about the pages. pictures from the scene initially suggested. they were made by the time when each company called opponent. but the firm says the devices were produced by european company, which has a right to use its branding. the pages are designed to res sees and display text messages using very high frequency signal similar to f and video. that hotter to infiltrate than mobile phones, which can reveal locations. analysts say small explosives may have been installed in the devices before they were delivered to hezbollah. elijah magneer is
8:07 am
a military and political analysts. he explained how the pages would compromise in what he called a major state operation, a full physical investigation deem. he's very clear. there is an explosive of type of pete that has been impacted with a page or electronic circuit showing in advanced level of technical expertise and the involvement of a state level intelligence agency. the shipment was on its way, not directly through lab and then because it is forbidden for lab and on to read see this gone off the devices and stop on the hop on nearby for 3 months. and according to the investigation, that was enough time for the 3 days to plant the explosive. that is very high, the explosive, the materials are we talking about beat and that these very sensitive and it's
8:08 am
immediate, the reactive to close circuit, the trigger. and the way these really did it a, they've sent the message to the pages. and with the message there were error, 3 times error, and to people that needed to look at it. and the vapor stalled vibrating and the page are expelled. and this is why more than $300.00 people does both hands and many others, those one i or twice $150.00 off of their stomach and all the others where i'm relatively injured and some of them severely injured. so we know now that for sure from the pages that did not explode because there were thousands, unexploded others that bad. and there was some failure in the to trigger system of the page us. and that is all the investigators to reconnect the adults
8:09 am
and understand how this happened. it's just air hand out, is there a time to sound cold has more now on israel's silence around the attack. she's reporting for my mind because these are the government as bind dodges here from reporting inside israel. there's been no word from his really officials on a series of attacks that took place in 11 on these really army chief of staff, held a security assessment shortly after the attack saying that israel is prepared for a wide variety of scenarios that they have up to that readiness to the highest possible level, but it's worth mentioning that this is not a change within is really policy when it comes to dealing with the threats on their northern border. these really army has said that there are no changes in the guidelines for home front command. there are no new security measures that have been put into place, but that they are prepared for anything. additionally, these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu holding a meeting just one day prior with his security cabinet were living on was the main
8:10 am
focal point of his agenda, so much so that he has added a 4th goal of his war objectives. 3 of which already pertains to the war on gaza that we are nearly a year into with those stairs. gold he is added is returning is released to those northern townsend settlements, which they were evacuated from when the cross border fire with his bottle of started. it's also important to mention some of the rhetoric by is really officials we've been hearing in the last several months, but they are prepared to bomb living on back to the stone age that they are prepared to turn babies into a 2nd gone so. so all the tides in israel are certainly shifting, meaning that these really are prepared to deal with his butler to deal with the threat on their northern border differently. but how they are going to do. so of course they are not letting us know. i'm just, that's what that is, is it all on the meanwhile, the us state department says it didn't have prior knowledge of the attacks and i can tell you that the us was not involved in it. the us was not aware of this
8:11 am
incident in advance, and at this point we're gathering information. we do want to see a diplomatic resolution to the conflict between israel and has the law. we want to see one that allows the 10s of thousands of israelis who can display from their homes and the 10s of thousands of lebanese who have been displaced from their homes to be able to return home. and that's what we are continuing to pursue. a white house correspondent kimberly hawk. it has more on the us response to the page explosions. the attack targeting has full of members in lab. a non has put president biden's holds of a god to cease fire. further out of reach the us president just one day earlier, dispatched a senior diplomat to the region he met with top is really officials after the united states has watched for many weeks. now, as the, as really military has been escalating, it's war preparations for
8:12 am
a wider war with lebanon. now, the concern being that for many, many weeks there have been a, an escalation of firing back and forth between israel and lab and on. and the fear being from the united states standpoint that a all out war would not help israel with is goal of bringing back the 10s of thousands of is relays that are displaced. but now with the fact that this has occurred in lab and on and there has been casualties, as well as many, many that have been injured. that this is only going to make that effort for a cease fire even harder to achieve. now, in the midst of all of this, the white house says it is still gathering information. it says that it will not comment, but the state department of pentagon says that it has no knowledge of any us involvement. we know the pentagon also say that the secretary of defense has in
8:13 am
fact spoken with his is really counterpart as press the need for diplomatic solution to the conflict in the region. we also know that the secretary state and to the blinking is traveling to egypt, where he is meeting with not only egyptian mediators, but also how to are as well as of course, the united states. what we know now is that there is a re vamped proposal, one that is 6 weeks in duration, and but the united states, along with its counterparts, egypt and cuts are, is looking to put pressure on israel, as well as him off to try and get some sort of 6, we cease fire deal the goal to try and get is really captive out of the gaza in exchange for palestinian prisoners in is really jails. the hope is that this can be achieved before president biden leaves. office. kimberly healthcare al jazeera,

8:20 am
a measuring stick of violations. it is dead to prevent those violations. and when that does not work, it is there to punish them, to bring them to a halt, to ensure accountability, to ensure the justice vice, the draft calls on israel to withdraw its troops, stop building settlements and give back the land. it's taken by 4 since $9.00 to $67.00, all within 12 months to do, she's not the about piece. this is not about international law. did use about the fostering in the circus of the you and you can ignore that to us at the the took place on october 7. the us says it will not support it. this proposed resolution advances the flawed and indeed false idea that adopting a text here in new york can somehow resolve what is easily one of the most complex
8:21 am
and persistent diplomatic challenges of our time. colleagues, we all know that is not true, but the united states has no veto power in the general assembly where 143 member states voted in favor of recognizing palestine as a full member state and encouraged the security council to do the same. it is difficult to find a way forward to this haze of anger, tear and despair. however, dot is our responsibility. and indeed, our judy as members of the international community. it is our judy. our discussion today is not about our political views or positions. it is about international law . the resolution, if adopted by the $193.00 member general assembly would not be legally binding, but it carries the weight of world opinion at a time when world leaders are set to converge on the united nations for high level meetings. next week. christian salumi,

8:27 am
more people in businesses take out loans for everything from mortgages to car loans, to using their credit cards as economy. now it's the federal reserve job to find the right balance. a to hold economy leads to layoffs and recession too hot, and you have soaring inflation. where is the u. s. economy on this scale at this moment, it is nearing a balance. so fragile the inflation rate is only a half point above what does that considers to be a healthy 2 percent and it is trending downwards. the unemployment rate is at 4.2 percent. that's still good, but the trajectory is trending upwards and that is bad. so the federal reserve board wants to settle on an interest rate that prevents further job losses, but still keeps the lid on inflation. that is likely to be announced to be a decrease of point 25 percent in the interest rate. and that is what we will be
