i was just a rough dairy, but i had of science and we're also keeping a very close eye on developments out of the united nations today, where the un general assembly has just adopted a resolution demanding that is real and what the assembly calls it's unlawful presence. in the occupied palestinian territories within 12 months, israel has denounced the un resolution as quote, cynical houses here as christian sylvia as life from the united nations. christian, why don't you run us through the events of the day, the vote and how it unfolded as well . it's actually been 2 days going on in the general assembly. so many countries wanted to speak on this issue that there were a lot of speeches before they took a vote earlier today in that so a 124 member states voted in favor of the resolution, which as you say, calls for an end to the illegal occupation of palestinian territories by

israel within 12 months. among those 124 voting in favor of big voting blocks like the non aligned movement in the organization for as long as it cooperation. among others. 14 voted against and 43, abstain. and just to tell you a little bit more about the resolution itself, that lays out very concrete steps is pretty detailed. in fact, some of the people who opposed it said it was too detailed and went too far beyond the ruling of the international court of justice. which is based on it, not only costs for israel to withdraw its troops and its settlements within 12 months. it costs for the dismantling of the separation wall in the west bank. and also it has responsibilities for members, states of the united nations to not do business that would enhance the is really

occupational strength and these really occupation or support it. and it calls on the one secretary general to follow up in 3 months with the report on implementation. so this resolution, which was actually written and sponsored by the palestinians themselves, the 1st time they've ever done that in the general assembly, is meant to lay out a very clear path forward with accountability. now, in terms of what's been going on today, we've heard from those who oppose it as well, and they say that it goes too far. it is to one side of the account, israel's consulting and true offices. and the countries could be, as you're telling us about the countries that oppose the resolution, you said there were 14, i'm wondering who will post it in the and of course to do carry on with your explanation. but i'm wondering who they are is. yeah. and so not surprisingly, israel opposed it also the united states, not a surprise, and a lot of you know you and are you as

a lot of countries in the us or but like to lou in the solomon islands also hungry . the czech republic also opposed it and i, you know, i can read you a quote from the czech republic here. they said, given a situation on the ground in the palestinian territories, this is not a step in the right direction at risk, potentially swing sewing, further divisions and hindering piece talks and a fragile situation. so that's what we heard from those who were opposed or perhaps abstain. but what i found interesting is that countries like the united kingdom and canada, which would stay in from supporting the resolution, said that they ultimately supported the i, c, j. and it's decision that these territories that were taken by force since 1967 are legal. they don't dispute that. they're disputing the way the resolution was written in the way it's being carried out. question, so when the reporting from you in headquarters in new york on this significant

development, 2 thirds of the world adopting a resolution of the un general assembly, the calls for is realty, and it's a occupation that has been deem unlawful by the i c, j. the international court of justice within a year christmas, really we thank you very much. that's bringing home the cell, who's on this home that you're in amman? jordan, you're reporting on israel from jordan because israel has been now since you are from importing inside the country. i mean, inside israel, what's these really reaction to this un vote as well in a few words, israel has said this, this is quote, distorted and disconnected from reality, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone given that was the initial statement from the countries foreign ministry because israel doesn't even acknowledge the fact that it occupies the palestinian territories to begin with. they don't acknowledge the fact that there's been an occupation for more than 76 years at all. so this is not really new

from the israelis in the statement from the foreign ministry. it focused primarily on the attacks of october, the 7th that took place in southern israel and said that any sort of measures that are taken against israel and the un will embolden an already radicalized palestinian authority. so just to give you an idea, israel has always denounced any sort of un resolution, whether it's general assembly or security council, when it comes to taking measures against the occupation when it comes to the war on guns or anything but criticizes israel. legal settlements as well, they have taken offense, do they have done so far as to call the u. n. a biased bodies saying that it's quote, anti semitic. this is something we've heard repeatedly from is really delegates at the united nations. so this statement from these really isn't really a surprise denouncing this un resolution and rest assured there will be no sort of

measures that are taken on the ground by these railways because they do not implement any sort of un resolution. that is against the ssl who thank you very much for that reporting out of i'm on the you're watching else 0. let's return to our breaking news. at 11 on at least 9 people have been killed, more than 300, have been injured after more explosions of communications devices. the, this blast that you just saw occurred during the funerals that has pulled out members in, they were lebanese media or reporting that explosions happened. and phones and laptops and handheld radios, not pagers, as we saw on tuesdays attack lebanese army, his goals to the public, to stay away from blast zones. the us secretary of state anthony blinking,

who is it egypt to further efforts towards a ceasefire and gaza was ask about tuesdays attack and living on the united states did not know about uh, nor was it involved uh these incidents and we're still gathering the information and gathering the facts. a broadly speaking, we've been very clear and we remain very clear about the importance of all parts. avoiding any steps that could further escalate the conflict. all right, let's get reactions from our white house correspondent, kimberly how get in washington dc. kimberly, you know, the 1st person who gets asked questions after israel does something in the middle east. first person who gets asked questions is the us. so how is the us, broadly speaking, responding to what's transpired over the last 2 days? in a word redirection, what you're hearing there from the secretary state and to the blinking is similar

to what we heard from the pentagon, the state department, and the white house just 24 hours ago. following the 1st state of attacks in terms of the page or attacks that occurred. what, when you hear the us saying, we're still gathering information. what that typically means is we don't want to answer your questions. and what happens is that if the error is information is gathered, rarely does the administration come back and say, okay, we have the facts. now here's what happened. they, they hope to move on to another shiny object. and so that's what's happening right now. what we do know is that the following, the 1st set of attacks in lab and on, but oh or, and, and also be the rather the most recent attack, i should clarify that. what was occurred in the united states is that as well, there was no public acknowledgement by israel. the united states was intact, briefed by israel. so there is

a sense of frustration on the part of the binding to ministration on the one hand because there are couple of things going on what you had just before. all of this took place in terms of these 2 separate attacks was an effort by the united states to try and de escalate. what is an escalation of tensions in the region? what you had was the special envoy. yeah. a most hochstein, the us special envoy, meeting with the top is really officials, the president, the prime minister, and the defense minister saying look, it, we're seeing the escalations, we're seeing your war preparations. and we don't want to see the spiral further in the north. and yet that's exactly what has happened. the 2nd thing that's a big problem 0 before you jump in, is that obviously this is throwing water on another big effort that into the

blanket isn't the region for right now. his 10th trip to try and get a cease fire and gaza and obviously time is ticking for joe biden, who's term is soon to come to an end. and he's trying very quickly to, to, to wrap this up. and, and the latest proposal is a 6 week deal, and this is only going to make it harder to try and achieve that. kimberly, one of the major questions that's directed in has been directed to us since yesterday becomes even more relevant today is how much knowledge they had if any of these attacks and of israel's plans. yesterday i remember hearing the state department spokesperson saying that we knew nothing. uh what, what do we need to do? what do we know today about any us and not involvement but information right. awareness of these attacks and of israel's intentions is officially what the united states is saying is that we had no knowledge of the

specifics of this attack. and this may be true for the 1st and 2nd attacks that have occurred and 11 on, i guess the hezbollah operatives. that may be true, but listen very carefully to the precise wording of the us officials. well, they may not have had precise knowledge of the imminent attacks. what we know now and what the us did acknowledge just 24 hours ago, is that the secretary of defense and the united states had a phone call with his calendar part. it is real your the lot and lloyd. * austin and he did discuss and to have major discussions about trying to find a diplomatic solution to this escalation and conflict. we know that took place. we know there may have been more now to this conversation. and in fact, there is report in the united states that in fact,

there may have been notification of an internet attack in lab and not without providing the exact specific details of what kind of attack was about to take place . oh, that's all very interesting. kimberly, how could reporting from the white house anything more you find out on this anything more at all, we will will be wanting to know as soon as you get the information. thank you so much. kimberly, is that let's take a look at more international reaction to tuesday, and now today's attacks across 11 on the news, high representative. the foreign affairs of bro says, even if the attacks seem to have been targeted, they had heavy indiscriminate collateral damages among civilians. i consider the situation extremely worrying. i can only condemn these attacks that endanger the security and stability of lebanon, and increase the risk of escalation in the region. islands, prime minister assignment harris says, what happened in lebanon, of extraordinary concerning what the middle east needs to see is de escalation, non escalation. abbas us lani is

a senior research fellow at the center for me to the strategic studies. you're joining us on skype from pep, ron, we're interested in your analysis of how we iran might be looking at the development of the last 2 days or the serial iran has described this incidents, you know, as i talked to her as well as my mother a subject to, you know, in the national punishment as well as, you know, uh, persecution. uh, you know, the series of, uh, complex and extensive explosions in lebanon is taking the tensions between these relying 11 on each, a new phase. a level is really. so i've been using stephen infrastructure and not only targeting members of hezbollah, but also civilian people in lebanon, and also those medical, the stuff, those who are using those pages, or walkie talkies, as well as those communication uh, you know,

equipment. and this could provoke a reaction from live in the side. and that could be, you know, a reaction, i guess, maybe civilians in israel or maybe something could happen to those prisoners is really prisoned. everything goes as well. um, this could be, you know, bringing you escalation in the front as well. it seems that with these, you know, a sabotage operations industry lease has been trying to cripple or at least on their mind, the communication and that's work of his bullet. and consequently it's and it's combined that controls in the northern front. and that's why i think in the days to come tel aviv will be assessing that the impact of these operations on his will on it's operation capabilities. we saw that the hezbollah tried to, uh, you know, launch some rocket attacks against israel in order to say that these kind of up

prices will not impact it's uh, you know, come and then control in the electric field. but this is could be seen in a big air perspective where this is not taking place, but it's been military versus another military force spots. this is taking place uh, you know, civilians um, in a brother i'm in a perspective, may be israel wants to somehow make the argument then let the non to put pressure on his beloved by saying that these, you know, actions in the northern front is causing some damages to the live in the society. but so far we have been seeing that united political factions, or people that have been getting either then, you know, condemning these actions. a boss i have the commentator and is really commentator. tell me earlier today he thought that these attacks on 11 on could also or could, in part to be

a message aimed at iran, right? the by attacking hezbollah in the way that they did in such a large scale way with their page or something that they didn't see coming, didn't expect for that. maybe that's got the hall, i'm thinking now. oh, well, what could is real do to us? do you think that a range and authorities are looking at it that way or uh, you know, uh specifically when we have a new government into ron sale, the seems that israel has been trying to provoke you wrong or as well in order to reach the a bring the escalation into a level that there could be original was that the united states could be involved helping israel because that ron believes that israel has been suffering gay. use traffic failure in the cause of war, not being able to meet fits, you know, declared goals in the field. that's why it wants to bring the united states directly involved in the war uh, through the assassination of his mind, honey,

getting to wrong or to assessing a thing, see me over his will of commanders in lebanon. i'm today, we're seeing these explosions through those communication equipments. and that's why these kind of, you know, operations serial could be part of the fullest can origin of war uh, bought the, this is a raising the question of whether, you know, is really wanted to engage in a land or let's say, expands to a pricing. i guess as well, so far we have not seen such kind of indications, but i think they are assessing that how and the these operations will impact as well, most capabilities and their and reading to see a reaction from the seeing their officials that has the line clothing gets secretary general and the so that, that's why i said wrong sees these actions as a kind of provocative acts. but. 2 2 this doesn't change the calculus and to run in

order to respond to the previous access, but they have problem is that reaction to take place other due time and place a boss that's not a senior research fellow at the center for mentally strategic studies. thank you for joining us. the so a pleasure to be with you. so let's see what we can find out about the pager devices that were used in the debt nations in tuesday's attack and level not . now they were never in hungary, according to prime minister victor or benz government. this is in response to the time when these pager from gold apollo, which said that the model of pages using the attack against has pulled out, were made by a beautiful test based company called back consulting options. here, as i said, big is live in budapest asset. this is actually quite complicated to fully understand. so can you, can you tell us the story from the start like the whole picture, what we know,

what we think we know and what we definitely don't know to well, to start off with the reason we are in budapest is because this type of news company goes depaulo, they have said that they've never manufactured these pages, that they say that the pages were manufactured by back consulting. and that's why i'm standing this of a of budapest in front of this building where that company is registered to. however, there's no manufacturing taking place here behind me. the government has said the same thing. it seems like many companies are registered. hey, i spoke to somebody that just lives upstairs. he says that to, they've only seen the receptionist. it seems like this is a mailing address and the mattress forwarded on to whatever companies are registered here that we've also reached out to the owner of the registered owner of back consulting at one christy on our could. yeah, no buttons they, we've called, we've emailed, we've messaged, we've had no response,

but they have been reports that she has spoken to. so american media saying that her company's imagery and that she has worked with gold apollo. now, the website of best consulting has been taken done, but if you go back to the archives, you can see it as a consulting firm for also it's very bizarre offering services like jewelry, making gun mushroom growing mushroom growing in argentina. now as we understand it, also a she, the owner has a linkedin profile where she says that she have advised the organizations to such as the international atomic energy agency and unesco. um, but again, there's no manufacturing taking place yet. it just seems that can add a mailing address. okay, there's a, there's a lot going on. there are acid efficiently that consulting group making jewelry and argentina, growing mushrooms and apparently, and there was acting as an intermediary for the provision of pagers asset base.

thank you very much for that reporting. they're out of the past hungry for the spring in the office. you're a senior political analyst, mironda sure. you're joining us in paris. more. one more on, you know, you listen to everybody who comes into this news hour and gives us their opinions, their views, their commentary, and you always help us sort of make sense of all of this and what have you been hearing and what have you been thinking what, what kind of perspectives you want to bring us to. so as i just want to so remind ourselves yesterday. ready we were talking about this and i said, aside from the, to the discussion, now here's the packing, the, the, the supply chain and the, the, the communication systems 11 on the 3rd possibility, which proved to be even more dangerous. is that the of a manufacturing level that there were really,

are those devices right now we're discovering that there is an actual mystery behind that. and that there is a c, a european connection to what we don't know exactly what that is. and i'm sure i got a federal join that a son investigated the researches are, are, are, you know, looking into this all over the place because this is the new mystery, right? but clearly what, what we now know more more about is that is there, it has been taking this tool for a while and it was preparing it for it for a while and do not even they just like the new york times and other places are given more or more details about how is there a hasn't been a landing this in terms of rigging the, those communication devices which really takes me to the, to the, to the, to the idea that this is not just, you know, a rash decision. no, there is a, a systematic seeking on behalf of these right. is that the should,

i could carry attack of this nature that a state that are against their enemies and their enemies uh civilians is, is ok, so just a minute. they couldn't get away with it just now a prime minister and now it was mostly uh that i told you we're going to bring the that is that back to the north and we'll do exactly that. so clearly there is a road state here. i play and clearly it has all lies. it has uh the conspirators, if you will, what are northbrook level manufacturing or otherwise intelligent surfaces or otherwise? but i think that they used to come are going to show that i'm hopefully implicate those who are responsible for the sort of a war crime and active mesh cetera. yeah, i would point out more one that yesterday pretty early you did raise the question of, you know, is there

a western company or tech out fit that will end up being that we'll find out ultimately was involved in this. and today we're hearing about this like shadowing, shady barry and beg your pardon, hungry based consulting firm. so we, we are following up on those questions that the news i would say is shedding some light on those questions that you were asking. the v is really defense administer you are good, lots has been saying in the last hour or so the war is entering a new phase and our focus is shifting north. now when i 1st heard this, i thought, oh, it sounds like maybe he signaling a ground invasion or some kind of large scale military operation by israel and the 11 on i put this to one of our is really political commentators. and he said, actually no, he doesn't see it that way because when israel wants to invade, they invade, when they want to attack, they attack when they're just talking, you know, he sees it as something that is not quite messaging. we're going to do this

tomorrow. as well, what do you know is that within those really cabinet that is busy as the curriculums in guys getting yes, genocide and gaza and word is there any minute now believes it's time to take a pause, get the captives out. galani is, but one of the on the by not the will say, we need to take that policy and guys, i mean, we need to focus on the 11th. so he's actually been saying, god for a while. he's lot being for his own position within these re, the political establishment and public sphere in the country. and that's why the likes, there's nothing you know, are getting filled up with them. sometimes sounds like he was basic on his own, although he apparently pretends that they used to be echoing the voice of the military. and this is a very important distinction because and is there a, there has been since then the quick into power back in the late seventy's but

certainly wouldn't have been you all came to paula in 2009 the, the tension between the more at the time was more, she could not see more establishment labor party type military establishment. was not exactly an agreement with the new coming popular split crude right waiting, extreme right waiting go into just national. there's a saw so far. that of course, changed over the years, but still there is tension between the military establishment and the political establishment is right. they agree, for example, i provided with water and to questions like, guys are, but don't you certainly agree on the achieving the goals of war. and by the way, let me open a bracket here and just to just to talk about a bit about the what i find we, we haven't even mentioned less just letting you know. ok. and that's the idea that everyone around the world keeps talking about. is it how it was or did not that you could tell objectives? this is a discussion for these readings,

not for the rest of us, even in the west and elsewhere, but everyone in from here on to loveland, onto a guy's and washington he's talking about is there a visual, did not achieve its objectives. this is a discussion between dominican or the establishment and the political establishment . the fact is, is that it has destroyed gaza. that's was objective of the government, is to make guys that the price is to execute that general side. and garza is to dispense of him as if possible. yeah, i think there's no debate more one that the gaza strip has been in very large part destroyed. thank you very much that sel. 0, senior political analyst, mironda shar. all right, that's it for me for now. we're going to take a quick break, we'll reset, we'll be right back at the top of the hour, and we're going to continue to cover that breaking news out of lebanon, where there's been another large scale attack would. 9 people killed, 300 people injured and more devices have exploded on tuesday was a pedro attack and on wednesdays,

now being referred to as the walkie talkie attack, we'll have our correspondence across all of this. we're back in the lynn seeds us. i bet your nominate decisions made from the white house, the sick millions around the world stay without your 0 for life, coverage of every twist and the special programming and correspondence across the country. both parties are looking for any small group they can get to put them over the top. god bless the united states of america are great. the us elections on oh, just the of the

since its inception in 1961. the quite fond has been supporting people's livelihoods, and over 100 countries, by funding projects in an array of sectors ranging from infrastructure to health and education. these initiatives ultimately helped eradicate poverty and promote sustainable development. as those strikes are those with a strong result. indonesia is where supposed to be solved by the right place for your business to get off the the right spot otherwise on. so

with this strategic downstream industry on your better tomorrow the, [000:00:00;00] the pennsylvania is good to have you with us. this is the news, our life from bill coming up in the program. the cell communication devices explode and coordinated attacks across 11 on 14 people including has pulled out members and been killed and hundreds more have been injured. to death toll. from tuesday's pedro attacks and 11 on rises to 12000 is our interest from those
