[000:00:00;00] the . ringback the trying to find the messenger as well as radius of the storm hours is 00 and the momma and the occupied westbank, ordering its closure for $45.00 days. the hello on elizabeth put ottoman this is elena 0, live from dough ha. also coming up has bella and israel try the biggest exchange of foss since the 1000 began the lebanese. i'm to target some

a base near the city of high 5 and central garza, is there any phone since i've had a home can and at least for palestinians, a number of women and children are injured and elect as candidates has a lead over the incumbent president as votes accounted in 3 long cars election, the beginning the occupied westbank weigh heavily armed. and moscow is where the soldiers have sold, which is the risk that all my left view of stuff are given 10 minutes to gather their belongings and leave those to the office of being welded shots. and the military has ordered the bureau to close for $45.00 days. didn't give a reason since and monahan begins coverage. and it's really troops moved in before sunrise the their mission to silence l. d 0 is

reporting when the occupied with most of the many were masks and were heavily armed in the hallway, the soldiers confronted l 0. 0 cheap. carried nothing but a microphone was i thought i was getting you saw this is a decision that was made by one of the is really generally see he is ordering us to immediately leave the office and take our personal belongings and cameras. i guess you army says we have only 10 minutes to take our belongings and leave the office so they can shut it down. the the office will be closed for $45.00 days. it's really 4th is also tore down banners of al jazeera journalists, surely novel aqua. she was killed by israeli forces in 2022 while reporting imaging in refugee tab banners like this stood as a reminder of israel's past attacks on journalism memories. it is now seeking to erase transparently vengeance or i'll just eras crime reporting the truth about

what his role is doing and be occupied, palestinian territories of israel's carrying off and the atrocities. and nobody has got a better job of reporting on them that all to 0 has. and i think this is a transparent effort by israel to essentially punish aus is 0 for that crime. and also to ensure that there's even less coverage uh that reality unless it comes up to the rest of the world. media rights groups have condemned israel's restrictions and attacks on journalist l 0 has been a cost in presence in palestine, giving voice to a people who are rarely heard in the international media. these voices often challenge israel's narrative, something it appears. it is no longer willing to accept their whole strategy. and israel is to produce a narrative about as real about palestinians about zionism, about the arbitrarily conflict about terrorism, about all of these issues swirling around the region. and the narrative says that these really is a good guys and the palestinians,

and the arabs and muslims were baptized and they're a threat. and this is a narratives up to date, as rarely as have succeeded in disseminating all over the world. israel shut down about zeros. bureau in the occupied west bank follows its expulsion of the networks reporters from israel a few months ago. as israel struggles with growing criticism of its war on gaza is now seeking to control what people can see and prevent its critics from being heard . spence and bought him algae 0. well somebody who is a secretary general of the palestinian national initiative, and he says algio is operating license was issued by the palestinian authority and that israel's actions are illegal. what we see practically is that is, or it has the or to by the bank competing to read it back to the situation that existed the photos of the agreement by the office. this is one to do. the law under my law is a, according to us not agreement,

which means it is on the palestinian authority security on 7 lines. and the license of the office of jersey or under my law was issued by the palestinian authority. as a matter of fact, it was issued by me when i was minister, information minister of information and the on the nice and then the only thing government, the fine. i was the one who said the license for and does either. so is there it has no rights, legally speaking, to close any office and any place in india, a or b a yes, isn't that? and that means that is right and has practically eliminated on your own or any other sort of deals, the better still, you know, sort of t and we added back to the situation of fund occupation and the yes it is expected that there would be more attacks and what address more harassment of people because they are the imposing population. but with one difference, this time the governor of the west bank is spot strict. most of this is that am fascist,

and he hides. he does not tie this intentions. he's clearly says that he wants to offend the bank with such lives. so the 1st thing is what goes any hope and then have to leave, or die, or subject to is there incomplete? that's bringing on correspondence and busted. ave. he's joining his life online because there's really government band which is 0 from the forcing in israel. this was back in may zane, have we heard anything from the? is there any government about what's happened to the elderly abuse and my la as well. not long ago was the communication minister shlomo. carrie did release a statement on social media and which he said after much pressure. and as we promised this morning, security forces rated old as it was main offices. referring to our bureau in ramallah, describing it as the mouth piece of hamas and hezbollah. he went on to say that there was an order issued not clarifying who issued the order and say that the order to issue,

the order issued to close the station was carried out. he goes on to say, we will continue to fight the enemy channels and ensure the safety of our fighters, our soldiers is rarely service men. now, what's unpack that statement for a moment. this is a classic example of going after the messenger is really officials have for months now been saying that they are losing the narrative war with regards to the conflict that began nearly a year ago as well. they should be after a year of what 8 organizations and cios analyst have described as genocide, definitely cleansing with palestinian communities across the occupied territory. but what this is, is a case of not going after changing their own narrative, not pulling back on their military, but going after the people telling the stories. and we have to remind viewers that the network that started with the arabic channel line has gone into multiple language services. really was burst into a vacuum of reporting, not just on the world, but specifically on the israel palestine conflict. so going after world is here is going after the main voice really amplifying the story of the posting and

experience. but doing it in a balanced way is what our journalists would maintain. and this is not just an attack on elders here. this is an attack on broader press freedom, if they can shut down us as an international outlet, there's nothing stopping it. there's nothing stopping israel from doing so to any other and these organization. and this is clearly a violation of press freedom by country the claims to be the only democratic states in the middle east, but runs this parallel military police state with regards to postings. and then you have covered this conflict before that from is rounding the occupied territories for a very long time. just how difficult has israel made reporting from their of the well, those doors that we saw welded shut down the rumble off as i walk through those doors many times in the past year since the war on garza began and it did seem absurd to see the length to which israel would be willing to go to,

to really stop storytellers from being able to do their jobs, showing up with such a heavy military presence to effectively shut down an office. where everyone really sits at the desk eats too much and just tell stories of what's happening around them. so to give you a sense of exactly how constricted the space has been getting, we've reported from ramallah on the desk of journalists, not just our own, but many and guys of the, but over a 100 journalists have been killed in gaza since the war began in the west bank, we've reported on the illegal detention of journalists, of, of analysts, of, of people, a part of the intelligentsia are part of you sort of mine high above the palestinian community. professors teachers, regular people. so we've been reporting on that very specifically have been getting those rates to become tighter and tighter in the west bank were reported on the closure of our jerusalem office from aroma. linelle were reporting on the closure of our remote little office from a month, and it's been more and more difficult for international news outlets really from

anywhere to be able to offer a freely inside not just occupied palestine, the parts of israel, when we were shut down in jerusalem, a few days later, there were reports of israel, the security forces, taking camera equipment away from agencies whose fields we use to do our broadcast . so it really gives you a sense of how constricted the space is getting. and once again, if they can do it to all 0, there's nothing stopping them from doing it to anyone they see as not providing their side of the story. anyone that is doing bell as coverage could become a target of attractions to the same. thank you very much for that. that is the same bus savvy, whether they just live in amman and tom academy was as an associate professor of public policy at the doha institute for graduate studies. thank you for your time. as always found that we heard from our correspondent and talking about what elder 0 does in with its journalism. how, what does the closing down of the bureau, even just a 45 days, but in the context of what's been happening, especially over the past. yeah,

the increase in his really volumes. what does it mean for documenting what as well as doing in the occupied territories, especially given that that documentation is widely used by many local and international human rights organizations. elizabeth, let me remind you to view as like the, the a couple of days ago that is the best of the you and i was lecturing and mocking and bullying the un when, when the, you and john that it as somebody voted on the citizen ocean favoring at the end of the patient and to put things into perspective at the you, one is critical in solving this conflict. and when we talk about the, the legal agencies, institutions that work on just as issues like the i see, i see g if they are banned from having access into any conflict that would result to proxy or other sources to been cases or the comment cases where you will see major violations,

human rights. we all remember that at some point in this conflict, the icy c prosecute that of getting constant on the assumption border with goes on . he was calling for an order related entities in jewels on the ground to collect data for some defensive data because licensee was banned from anthony and gaza. and doing this for independence. just literally from the concept of this conflict, not from this conflict from the own sort of data is ready to complete and since it's tough to becoming very active inside the combined that it's what is as been playing an instrument that everyone in documenting these atrocities and it has been causing a me that headache for these ladies by shutting down as, as the other now side us, it goes, is it a no international justice is losing an important source of knowledge of the commenting these atrocities and, and it will have why that implications on the this course and the way these courses these, these cases are process now. i mean, we know the cases standing in the front of the i, c j a nice to see. i mean, south africa end up in

a single photo together they submitted the find. the put us in our product is by not utilize on documentations also provide a bunch of data in gaza, which sort of, he has no access to money, clinical and 8 and g olsby and the local and the dimensions and also do the same. so it is the only voice of through that it just is the only son of, for example in does that, that's the open, it's the and it's this human side life. so by shopping down such and making isn't, i mean especially though it's back now it's, it's really it's, it's, it's, it's a huge loss for the important point that you're making when as well has a case is being investigated for genocide at the international court of justice and when the international criminal court is seeking arrest warrants for the prime minister and the defense minister as well, how do you see israel's actions? the latest being the shopping down of the bureau? but everything it's done in the past years since the war and gaza began in that context of increasing international pressure, including the latest version of the general assembly,

often get to and it's unlawful presence in the occupied territories. i mean, literally no, i mean is what it is acting like a plastic above everything above international above you and above. busy everything, i think they are in a vindictive mood now by shot things. i'll just see it on the west bank. the like trying to show that that they don't care about the some connection between isms the above. this is the kind of them i'm to do to evict except it's a substitution because it's through it because it has been a for the, for the, for doing this. because if it's being protected by the big powers that be countries in the u. n. and, and it's kind of, you know, this is closer because it has more accountability. so i think moving on, we it's, it's great to me was that we have a, a collective view engine or the some theater solution to the calls for ending the coefficient in one year. we need actual implementation become as him for subsidy was 0. she was, i mean the majority of, of countries that have signed up for this, they're supporting this now, but a scene ends on

a freedom loving nations the we want to see how all right, with this the results and get them into ok. thomas. thank you so much for your analysis of voice that his time of the car has bhalla has high rockets, deep inside israel, of some housing areas near the port city of haifa, lebanese onto so that was targeting these almost david air base is very media of oppose at least 4 people were injured in the attacks. most of the rock is what intercepted was some 5 minutes talking 5 and causing power outages. that is really mandatory says it will intensify its attacks against has bola, explosions were heard, and towns across southern 11 on saturday has been described to some of the largest exchanges off across the board of $0.05 as well as one, gaza, began in october, then the un special coordinator for 11. no one has issued a statement saying,

with the vision on the brink of an imminent catastrophe, it cannot be overstated enough. there is no military solution that will make a, the side safer. let's go to our correspondent in the lebanese capital. so jabari is joining us live from they vote. and also with the attacks these attacks that we've seen with houses and cars on fi and the as way the city of hi site. it's not something we see very often has bull of seemingly able to regroup. what are they saying about that attack me a high for of the well, according to the statements issues, why has the lot they fired at least a 115 rockets towards israel and is that some of those rockets have the longest range that we've seen. so far and by has the law at 50 kilometers inside,

as well as what their target was, their high font and as specifically as the military air base for almost save it. that is of course where the is early defense. but us are you off the launch last week announced that israel is now entering a 2nd, made a new phase of its conflict in the northern israel with has the law of this attack, of course comes during a very, very tense time, would see an intense and heavy bombardment from israeli forces on southern uh, towns and villages in lebanon. and these rarely as have also issued statements. these are in the military saying that they have continued to attack various, it's solutions of weapons. depos blogging has the law not only in southern lebanon, but also uh, near the areas tower of, um, is a lie uh, in the western, but called valley in eastern love it on. so there is a sense that this conflict is certainly escalating. now, it has

a lot responding to not only the rocket attacks that they've been with this thing in the air strikes and southern the problem, but also that walkie talkie attack and it pays your attacks at 2 days. at last week, a communication devices exploded and, and injuring thousands of members of his below and killing over a dozen people at the said, that's the response that israel has seen over the past few hours is in retaliation to that. a type of course, we expect things to continue as they have been over the past few hours with really know and insights in this cross border fire. the or loving east health ministry also saying that there has been on person shells and another injured in the am i total in the village. this is the border village and southern level as well. and also with, as well as saying it's going to intensify its attacks. what is the mood like in baby boomers,

especially off to such as deadly and unprecedented week 11 on certainly, uh, over the past week, 84 people have been killed 11 on uh, over a number of attacks, cared up by israel. and the statements coming from is rarely officials that these attacks will continue is certainly a cause for concern here. because as of friday, we saw a new level of escalation that the boundaries that had been in place, the unwritten rules of engagements, meaning civilian population centers would not be attacked. seemed to have gone out the window they friday attack in southern they route and down here that kills a 16 members of hezbollah, including 2 high ranking commanders and a number of other civilians indicates that the, this conflict has now entered a new stage. and there is concern here that the civilian population are now going to be caught in the crossfire. so things are very tenser and certainly people are worried, but it has a lot maintaining its position that it will continue to fight the slides. the

attacks that has come up there and also thank you very much for that. that is also devalued with the latest live and they vote. so i'm going to bring in a defense editor alex, good talk last because there was so much to talk about right now. alex firstly, as moving the pushing it is the largest exchange of cross border strikes we've seen between as well and his ball us since last october. what can you tell about the types of rockets, the weapons that they using and these attacks. so as blue as a 3 types of weapons and it's also going to be used for longer range attacks inside israel itself. first you have the katasha. i'm glad you book it. it's got about 40 can little it says range. a small bullhead because their own guided you need to fund it and sell those in want to be able to have a discernible military effect. and they're easily intercepted, especially by iron. and um, as well as the primary technical at defense system. but then you have a longer range walking to the to 300 kilometer range,

like the $5.00 to $110.00. the sales out to these are able to deliver launch a war his we took like 5600 kilos with fed accuracy by this sort of space. so they can do real, real damage. but this of the type of weapon, the, the drones that as below i'll be using that seem to have exploited a gap in, as well as air defense systems. so it's one of the best in the world. it's not the best. but time of the time of the time as well as being able to send drones slow, moving less observable on radar to be able to send them through. they penetrate through into his really space and destroy the targets with much collab precision than any of the rockets themselves. and of course, has been released that functionality of the see a draw and footage showing the pulse of hi fi rise, which was really a remarkable moment and has ball as intelligence capabilities that it could not just penetrate the iron. doing but gather intelligence of sensitive sides. what do

we know about the right now, the intelligence capabilities on both sides, especially after the assassination of the laces, has ball come on the, in the da here and reports that as well, had intelligence that he would be there at that time. right? exactly. and also a mess assassination program conducted by pages and other electronic devices. it doesn't get any more intelligence legs than that. and you're on the right. the has, the lower drone footage was extraordinary in the sense that they just didn't do once. they did it several times over several days and they live streams of pictures, high quality, you know, they flew over the targets in broad daylight slow moving of a high for port for rafael, which obviously they have today in the military industrial complex and also of the remote database as well, just showing exactly and labeling potential targets very, very clearly fold to see. so yes, so both sides been preparing for this for years. so the intelligence is remarkable on each other, but we're going to see now the level of targeting,

and just with that intelligence will be able to live on alex, thank you so much for your insights on this. we really appreciate that as a defense editor alex, good helpful us. thank you. so let's go. is it gone? so now with the latest is where the attack has killed at least full palestinians and injured many of those a baby with a head injuries among those arriving in hospital along with women and children. let's try it targets at home and data on bala and central gaza is where the military has killed more than $41300.00 palestinians since october. thought it was an reports from like the hospital and data was on. the strike in fact, has taken place to don't hours, but the it has also been in the solely to one of the most densely populated areas in the central regions of district, which is 7 o'clock while we are now the residential house that has been targeted did not receive any warning, it has been picked squarely,

at least as we have been hearing from many code sources, palestinians have been confirmed, killed as i'm flip, says have been seen going in and out of the solely to destroy bringing casualties to ok. so hospital while the scenes all children being in good, we're really disturbing. we look at those uh, children being treated on the floor, being completely ended in the lakes homes even hits, as the destruction, being left behind was beyond recognition. a medical teams have been saying that they were forced to deal with the high rates of the surgeries on the ground because the big capacities are overwhelmed with patients and agent people. while the area that had been targeted has been very long as the effective date has been a very wide impact on the neighboring houses where one of the survivors from that somebody that was hit said that this was a huge episode of genocide. this is

a reflection in fact about what palestinians are going through right now. a lot of the unprecedented escalation that the goal is a strict is going screw and this is not the early. i typed up on every dollar to touring the costs couple of hours or even during overnight to slice. we're talking about food. palestinian seemed to recover too rough by 6 feet. and just only an hour ago, the is very military to try and have been actively racing in under. so rod tortured you can at least one palestinian has been killed due to the fire of these troves. that is a very constant, descript palestinians on we subject to the earlier just on the left. cool enough of me now trucks are waiting for the people who are killed in order to be left for symmetries. they don't want it to be buried. any results from 3 long because presidential elections show a left as candidates, as in the lead on that i'll come out of this. an eoc is the head of the main

opposition candidates and the current president said on and what kind of thing. but he's still short of the 50 percent of the vote needed for victory. this an eoc, it has promised to crack down on corruption and implement policies to benefit the pool. if he wins, he will be street on cars 1st baptist head of state. the country is recovering from a severe economic crisis, and there was anger over the austerity measures, including high taxes, the government implemented in order to receive financial bailout from the international monetary funds. as bringing our correspondence, vanelle fernandez, she is joining us live from the capital columbia. i'm and now we're hearing that the 2nd preference vote count will begin. that's right. is actually on the way we heard officially from the commission of elections just a short while ago. he went on live television, he had to announce that no candidates had made the 50 percent plus and as a result, it was moving into phase 2,

the counting. and that phase is when they look at the presidential vote cost by voters and they add that to the total that is being held by the 1st $2.00 leading candidates. so that process is underway, it's almost have and then we did see if you look behind me, this is where one of the main counting centers in colombo for the, in the west and robins of colombo exist. we've been seeing stuff will have finished that job of that counting streaming out. and now it's a process of the sort of official seals and picks and checks and balances before the results of the preferential vote, which will then be taught to end up with the initial account. and we will have a final result that that is not right about to happen. it might take just a little while, but the logistics of what through. but it will be happening fairly soon. and this is a i can was. and the lead in the 1st count, and i'll tell us about him because he's such an interesting personality isn't hey,

it does is right. i mean essentially the 1st few results that restart from here and even coming as late yesterday last night. drop you 1st is the posterboard, then it moves into the actual balance boxes, results and things like that. we did start hearing about this and like is sort of surging ahead. some of the posts of what's in fact put him at like 60 percent as opposed to 20 percent of the subject for him to the so the opposition leader and then far behind the incumbent president. now obviously it's been a mixed bag. it's not that this on like a has come with a searching lead in every single elected. 5 he has a sort of registered a significant amount of votes across the country, but they're all places. obviously, that's such a treatment that's with the opposition leader has also pulled in the votes. now

some of the places that he has done very well, the opposition, the, that is the ne, the for me comes conflict. there is whereas in fox, the now the parts of the country under commodities america has done really well. so as, as you mentioned, the is a colleague who come to that he's party behind 2 minutes and uprisings in the seventy's and eighty's, but now he's very much part of the mainstream, up to 20 as in parliament. and the key that's got him. these vote is the fact that most voters have believed he's pledges to take too long cut to a new era, one clean of corruption and where you know they take the country forward, men out, thank you very much for that. but now for the end is with a license in columbus. now, findings as well as in the pals tried to live in mexico, was most violent criminal gang as for the wave of death and destruction within 60 people had been killed. john holland reports in this, in the lower coattails, gripped in

a civil war. it's paralyzing. it's at present to the city of korea khan, and it could spread. it's the most serious conflicts of 15 years. one of the most powerful criminal groups in mexico that the genesis of this war was almost 2 months ago. a pull straight out the film. it will start. so in the morning of the 25th of july, we have a meeting at this raj, one of the attendees, a 76 year old man with a $50000000.00 balance. he only said his name is miles above, but he was better known as our menu. one of the founding members of the call to he was meeting one of its younger generation walking guzman guzman was one of those chuck peters, the sons of legendary king pin and chapel. they were rivals 12 mile within the code so that they, they degrades, come together to help resolve a local political dispute. instead, according to elect to the miles subsequently released through his lawyer,
