5:03 pm
it is no longer willing to accept their whole strategy and as real as 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 relays are good guys, and the palestinians, and the arabs and muslims were baptized and the rest of it. and this is a narrative of these as rarely as have succeeded in disseminating all over the world. israel shut down of algiers. bureau in the occupied westbank 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 . vincent about him alger sierra. the closure of villages here as bureau has been widely criticized. the palestinian foreign ministry condemned israel storming of

ramallah enclosure of the office is cooling for the implementation of the un resolution to ends. the occupation with foreign press association express concern and is cooling on these ready government to reconsider its actions. it's warning that restricting foreign report isn't causing news channels as a move away from democratic values. on the salute is lot for us in amman because these really government has also banned. they'll just arrow from reporting from within is rilen. and what's the attorney government actually been saying about the right in the closure on desert as offices in ramallah hasn't given any explanation at all as to why it's done. so a fully explanation for me is really government was actually given several months ago when they passed this log back in april with these really parliament known as the can. it said, but earlier today we did get some government reaction from the countries communications minister, shlomo, cod, hugh, who eventually rather did spearhead this decision back in april the he's the one

5:06 pm
closer in the occupied westbank around the same time, but the office and occupied east jerusalem was shuddered. how do i know that you have reported extensively from ramallah? how difficult has this realm made reporting from the occupied territories, especially since the war started in on top of as well as real, has made it difficult for engines 0 to report as a whole, across the entirety of israel and the occupied territories. and israel itself, in the gaza strip, and in the occupied west bank, it's been increasingly difficult for journalist to try and cover these really, really intense is really military raids and incursions that happened on a near daily basis that have only gone up and both sides and scale, but remember there are check points all across the occupied was bank, there is no freedom of movement. so it's incredibly difficult to try and get the story out there. but when the teams are on the ground,
5:07 pm
they do an incredible job of showing the viewer the picture. that is there. and israel, of course, does not want the world to see the crimes that are being committed against the palestinian people. this happens in the occupied was bank. this happened with an israel, and this is also happening in the gaza strip palestine. according to many experts, according to many human rights organizations, is the most dangerous place in the world to be a journalist. and israel has just made it much more dangerous. honda, thank you. as always, i'm to salute for us the in. i'm on this ready for us as have repeatedly targeted down just here a june list in 2022. so i'll just show who killed you, and i'll actually, while she was reporting engineering, she was wearing a blue flag jacket, clearly marked with the wordpress that you an investigation found as well as use the full force without justification. now yeah, it really is rarely false as destroyed a towel, a housing i'll just here as office and gaza. that's it. him off was using the building but provided no evidence. more recently during the war on gaza is ready

for us, have kills journalist including is mental health, cool, and summer with dhaka and the families of a case of is a member of the israeli parliament from the gosh kazi, he says, the closure of the i'll just hear a bureau is an expression of his riley fascism a. this is a clear expression of a to me of these that is what has been suffering from occupational impressionism or compassion. obviously, because the occupation forced as a piece or a can penetrate during phase of the palestinian territory is whenever the like including the so called the area a which is according to the also are called say supposed to be under control and that, but it's been a look forward to you. so this is part of the occupation, the very ability. and so, according to the team, we see a diesel, any occupation force as to, as though it, whenever they like those areas,
5:09 pm
include things up on the other parking spots you're going to because the government, as i said, the diamond dime, again, including, by the way, in the class is it that it is a look for fridge, fuss, east governments, which one still it better secure what it does, bill secured. anyone including me is a need to include in his learn. so a sick of this, let alone probably stands in full and as a, the government. and it's blanche. is it a business? acute it anyone who raises and the 2 boys or dad about the 12 to a criticize the government and the scribes. so this is just as ha, has launched a major assault on northern as well heading areas near the pool of the city of high for to live in these. um groups is it's targeted multiple sites with

5:14 pm
a show of defiance and revenge. certainly a very, very at 10 times here in love at all. and in this particular funeral, significant because everyone who killed was killed in an air strike by israel into a residential compound building a 7 story building that was level. and she wasn't the only victim 16 members of has the love were with him when dad they were all killed during this attack, as well as a number of civilians the desk told a according to love and he's health ministry is 48 for the number of people killed in that attack and that, that is something the government's here is calling a mastercard by israel because there was no regard for civilian casualties during this attack. so the feeling is very much one of sorrow and it tends about what could come next. facilitate ronelle, is there a dozens of people are believed to have been killed in an explosion of the coal mine? an eastern or wrong? the
5:15 pm
the you have a lower that will begin in south asia. web monsoon have started. it's retreat from northern areas of india and pakistan and leaving more the way of dry skies as well as hazy sunshine. but there's still some heavy rain to be found for the south across the western parts of india and into the north east, west bengal. sing some heavy falls that on monday, southern part of bangladesh as well and the pool seem that heavy rain on choose day, but it will be amber. lots will content and go on. that could cause some flooding. thanks to that rain on tuesday show is to the south of that much try a more in the way of sunshine across the north. and it's looking largely dry and funny across the move of china central areas as well as seeing those quiet and calm
5:16 pm
conditions. it's down in the south, but that seasonal band of rains, bringing very heavy rain is the likes of hong kong. it's high one japan. we'll see a legacy of shows in some stronger wins. the storm has moved out east sunshine for the korean peninsula. some way to weather, however, for eastern areas of china, you can see that putting into shanghai. but we are likely to see more in the way of a lie as guys here on wednesday as to whether update the a little or no reason administer from bangladesh. with 360 homes in britain, jerry looked down to spend 200000000 in just a new agent. each county has vanished point. and the only thing you might want to say, i mean, how does your investigates the ministers?
5:17 pm
millions the the, [000:00:00;00] the you watching l g 0 reminder about top stories, the ssl it has, the law has fired rockets deep into israel. the groups is it targets have different mom, david, a by self of haifa. most of the rockets were distributed so these rarely met. latrice is as intensifying it strikes against has belong easily. um does really sound histone down to 0 is bureau and the occupied westbank nearly on sunday, giving stuff 10 minutes to pack the belongings and leave. the military has ordered
5:18 pm
the office to close for 45 days. go, let's bring in mama del mystery. he's a media studies professor at the the institute, the graduate studies. thanks again for joining us. just in regards to the closure of the, of just your office in from iowa. what effect do you think that is going to have on getting the stories? the facts, what is happening on the grounds in the occupied territories? well, just to, to view as of, of al jazeera, but to the why the international community to, well, i mean, clearly israel wants to maintain control of the narrative. and that's been a goal from the start, it's very difficult to carry out genocide and gaza and obviously war crimes in the west bank. while there are journalists around covering, covering things. right. and that's why israel has been so adamant about not allowing international journalists into, into gaza. it's why they're shutting down. and these are the old g 0 offers and why they've banned ultra 0 in israel back back in may. right?
5:19 pm
so this is part of israel's kind of their, their war on journalism. they have to control, they have to control the narrative. that's how, that's how they, that's how they see things and that's, that's how they were operated for it for a long time. you were reporting on shipping a walk law. they targeted and killed her back in, in 2022. but there's actually quite a list of journalists that have been targeted by israel, both that work for all 0 and on other journalists as, as well. and i thought it was interesting and tragic, that is really soldiers made it a point to walk over to those banners bearing a, shooting a ball close image and tear those down. and back in october time of last year. they actually does a created shootings. memorial in the west bank, so this was a site that was set up for her family and friends and colleagues to mourn her. and they don't even want that sort of recognition. that's sort of a memory what you, what does it tell you about the way that the is really on the authorized. and i mean,
5:20 pm
she's really being held up as an exemplar of the journalist at principles of digging and finding out exactly what is happening. and then bringing light to that and showing the will the realities of what's happening in the occupied territories effectively? is that what the is rarely military is scared of. yeah, i mean i look, i don't have time to go through the all the political science, but uh, israel is basically a belligerent state. they are carrying out in the west bank something that is worse than apartheid according to the experts like noam chomsky and desmond tutu others. right. it's worse than apartheid. south africa. obviously they're carrying out the the genocide and gaza. the following. i almost 20 years of an illegal siege on, on cause. so it's a belligerent state and a legal occupier, an imperial power. and as you know, as part of that, they have to try to control the narrative. so all these other actions kind of flow from that, that position as, as an illegal occupier,
5:21 pm
the need to try to control media narratives. and they have a sense of, there's a sense of and community that they can do whatever they want. i thought stephen walt said it best even waltz is a professor of international relations at harvard university and 2 and a half weeks ago. he said that there is nothing that is really government to do or say that would cause the united states to lose support for it. and i thought that was a really telling a towing statement. then as long as the us continues to support israel is going to continue to run roughshod through international law. how do you go about changing that? i mean, we just the pressure come from uh on the united sides on the white house on joe biden, to put a stop to that. yeah. well, the us seat itself as the only superpower in the world and, and kind of the only a policeman. so there isn't any entity that can force the united states to do to do anything. the pressure will have to come. i will have to be bottom off. it will have to come from the, from the citizenry. that is starting to happen. but it's, it's, it's moving in slow motion. if you look at young people, if you look at the opinion pulling data,
5:22 pm
all young people are really fed up with the, the, the american government and with israel's atrocities. the opinion of pulling data are actually quite, quite shocking and certainly is real, was aware of that. so i think over the long term, if more and more americans are privy to this, this knowledge and become critical of israel, that could shift the american a political position. we haven't seen that happen as of yet. thank you so much. i'm at the as why some of that ministry for us there. so it's ready for us as have kills at least 16 people in attacks across the gaza strip since dawn in the north, a strong kid of school housing. this place people in our shante refugee can save and people were killed and many others wounded, including children and displaced. palestinians in guns are struggling to cope off the heavy rain caused flooding. the you in says as well sports as far as nearly 2000000 people from the hinds. erica bozer and reports from down paula and central
5:23 pm
cancer. i'm right now and one of the biggest and cabinets here is the central areas of gauze, off what palestinians right now uh, trucks. by the right. what we can do is just let me show you the scene at the bottom that you can see how is the rain. water has tons, but when these sam's the tents, we can see that the winds completely told the splendors, the 10s families are trying to repel what has been damaged and now they are unable even to move. really struggling. certainly in order to find blankets, mattresses, pillows, and some siding cases that were forced to sleep on the ground, no boost palestinians are suffering because basically the minute 3 has destroyed garza's basic service network system. the same time, there is no sleep drink water system here in this trip, and that's why he wouldn't talk is compound think the misery of palestinian people . now we can see what has been floating these 10, scrolling through us,
5:24 pm
families are unable to move 8 out of these a flimsy ton. so we can see children right now are trying to just move out of these areas. but the situation is incredibly, very grand because those people have been told by municipality as an owner was to move to other locations. but it did not know what to go simply because families have been losing their houses. and now they are ended up living in that very drastic conditions. and what winter is yet to come? target cup as in algebra. jared by palestine, a little short, lank of the left. his candidate to enter a camera, defend the aka, has been declared president elect. the election commission made the announcements after a 2nd vote count incumbent president's front of the promising who took office at the peak of the 2022 economic collapse and imposed tough austerity emissions. was

the direct taxes and the porters. there are other ways of building revenue and rebuilding to alaska, so the hopes of a nation riding on under come out of this on like a, at this point of time. as we look at the coming days and the coming months to the bank, the day is the full of its longest. 7 prime minister shaken saying that his bonnet calls for justice, the hundreds of people who disappeared during a time in office that challenge. he has more chick hosting as. * with the freight a bundle, dish assisted with disappeared remains on 2nd. while at least 3 people have been released from sick detention centers since the former prime minister fled to india . around 150 remains missing. from you guys, lum. sr off is still missing opposition leader and co founder of my dr. victim's blood from the 2nd answers you the each one of our keep in mind just finding those, we're still missing. we know only a few came out after the 5th of august,
