7:46 pm
where we see that to no international journalists or allowed in unless they come in with the idea from, from the north and frankly, a reflection of, of a trend that we've seen globally which hampers the work of journalist it is. i mean, as you well know, we are certainly supportive of press freedom here. and i think particularly in conflict zones, we need the eyes and ears of media, of international media, of natural media to get a sense of what's going on. i mean, you look at the situation in sudan where they're almost no journalist and we literally don't know what is going on. except that we hear these horror stories. and if there's no coverage, the suffering of people often goes forgotten, stefan lab and on. and what is the message from the secretary general specifically to israel? that is,
7:47 pm
escalating this situation. the secretary jones talk for many months now about he does not want to see escalation in lab and on. we are now seeing it. it's happening . it's in front of our eyes and it's a day before the level look at the message to the parties that are firing at each other across the blue line to all the parties involved. this conflict is step back from the brink to stop the escalation. we have the we have mechanisms to which to address uh, these issues are normally on the security issue through uh, through you, in a fill on the broad political issues through the work of our special coordinators in the region. as we just said, there is no military solution at this point that will make anyone in either country any safer. pam, thanks stuff. the gods have polio revocation, campaign was very successful on the 1st round requires 2 shots. the 2nd round would
7:48 pm
be somewhere in mid october. they said, do expect this to be hampered by current escalation or continue. or, i mean the no issue we're referring about is, is across across the blue line, we are very weak. we very much hope that the, all those who manage to work with united nations to agree to pauses, to allow the children under tend to be vaccinated against poll. your will do so again, in, i think less than 3 less than 3 weeks. it needs to be a 4 week gap between the 2 doses of the vaccine. i mean, the parties were able to agree really on the bare minimum, right, but at least they were able to agree and, and then through continuous discussions with the you, when we hope that we can do the 2nd the 2nd round. and is there an ongoing proposal? yeah, i mean, all right, my colleagues at the w h. o and unicef, and on wall or or leading in the campaign. does she?
7:49 pm
yes. first on a got a follow up on, gave her is question yes or ask you this actually of douches, your office is actually in your westbank does. does this row have the jurisdiction to close the the operating westbank? we know that the j just pass the resolution a, you know, the, the occupation is legal still is the point. what we saw on video were soldiers armed with guns coming turtles to shut down an office. the office was shut down. right. i'm not going to enter into the legal niceties are not niceties. right? the point is that whatever measure it was used for an order was given a gun point to shut down a media office. that's what we stand against. and 2nd, for a lot of pumps, question on the folio polio vaccine campaign. the 2nd phase,
7:50 pm
i just want, you know, it seems you still don't yet have to deal with relevant parties, not that i'm aware of, can those. so even though pos, because lot of you're, you know, these things i listen, i'm sorry, somebody has these things are negotiated to the very last minute we're negotiating pauses in an active, a conflict zone, right? so it's not something where you're planning ahead. you know, mean we're trying to plan ahead, but to say that it's challenging discussions would be rather an understatement issue. so one last question, any update on the possible meeting between the 6 general with prime ministers. i have not seen anything on the books yet, but as we've said, number of times is the secretary general said, the door to his conference room is always open to any delegation that is coming here for the general assembly that wishes to meet with him. thank you, margaret this year. thanks,
7:51 pm
jeff. um mr. require undersecretary general look what has said in this room previously. that if there is an all out war across the blue line that the unit fill peacekeepers, its will be evacuated to cyprus, thats the contingency plan. there is a report circulating in the region, but the idea of has told at least one contingent to go or to prepare to go. and what has the when heard about the peacekeepers? what does your plan, are they when douglas allowed, are they? we have all sorts of contingency plans, a number of civilian staff, of the peacekeeping mission and dependence. i have been sent north uh towards a, towards a route for temporary relocation. and the unit feels military and civilian peacekeepers remain committed to their mission. their peacekeepers are continuing
7:52 pm
their work in the areas of operations in uh, in uh along the blue line. but they are not currently as, as we speak, given the, the volume of exchange of fire. they are not currently patrolling, but they remain along the blue line. so then is it correct to report that they are in their bases bases really? yes, they're not, they're there. they're in there. yes. they're in their bases. a small, large basis. they're not doing any patrols currently as we speak. they have continued to do patrols or previously. but i think the level of uh, the level of exchange of fire put some of greater risk. and is there any plan to evacuate them to start and nothing on uh on that i'm not aware of any of that? yes sir. yeah. i might go from yeah. i'm expressed in didn't media pml d as in the payment history, he just a dusty some of the future. is he meeting with the secretary gender? well, that was a spokesman to folder you in secretary general,
7:53 pm
where he said that he is alone by the escalating situation and living on and very concerned by the large number of civilian casualties that have been reported by the lebanese will start at ease, at least 274 people have been killed today by his riley strikes more than a 1000 people have been injured. he will so spoke on the closure of l just there is office in ramallah by the israeli government. he said he and the union is extremely concerned, as this is not the 1st time as well as shots and l just their office. and looking at the big picture, the continued media coverage in the region, especially in concerts, a trends we're seeing globally to suppress media. we also took us through all of this is my lumber shar, who is l 0 senior political, unless he joins us from london. my wonder if we can begin with the conflict between his blah and is row you in clearly concerned about what is going on cooling for the
7:54 pm
escalation, basically the messages to step back from the brink. what chance of that happening at this point? do you think i, as it's becoming less and less of a chance in the absence of serious pressure, especially on the part of the united states, but also in the part of the united nation to take a serious, more fundamental, more radical position as well escalates. now, i don't expect that, of course, from the spokesperson, even on the question of the closure, will be of all the offices in under my lumber. i thought it was a bit disappointing. this is not a question of legal niceties. well, i don't know whether the music or vice disease, it's a violation of international law. it's a violation of international law. in fact, the international court of justice has already ruled that his or his occupation is village. and i am in nico and it's settlers and supplements hot and legal. i'm that
7:55 pm
international orange we should have actual let alone go in. and um, it just makes it like my law closed on that media network. so it's clearly a violation of international law. clearly, all violations of our rights to broadcast, feel better. now, the question of living on, once again, i think it's just the united nations can do it. you know, in the end of the day, the united nations is as strong as its members. it's as united as the unity, i won't get saunders and clearly, but you're not. the emission security council is not taking any serious action enhances, you're not the emissions, it's best to talk about the humanitarian. and there is no doubt that you're not the emission has to have a tough time for shaw and it's leader at the time that's juice. martin griffith have done that's really important work to us at the number of occasions apart. and even, even in political terms about is those crimes, israel's hold, or if it crashes and policies and bombardments and crimes,
7:56 pm
as he called it in guys are not receiving good or being repeated and never and on. so there's a room for far more than just concern over what is happening. another nonce, no one, the spokesman also said that we need the media to know and see what is going on, particularly, and conflict zones, the suffering of the people otherwise goes on noises. so mean what is lost by not having strong media reporting, for example, from the occupied with bank, especially in the times that we are in right now. and this. i mean, you know, civilization it and by itself dies in the dark. right. i mean the tooth dimes in the dark and clearly is where i can get away with its crimes in the bar. and it's only me here that is able to shut the lights on the crimes that are going on. i define move more now. yes, i give you that in today's world,
7:57 pm
i'll just see it. i will still be able to broadcast because there are so many uh, you know, citizen reporters, as or where every other person has an iphone and can take pictures and can send in pictures. and so on, so forth. i just think that we and all the re, doctors can't do our job better, more professionally justifacts again and again in order to show the life on what's going on. but clearly it is rather wants to continue with its crimes and blame the media for the image that it's getting out of its own crimes and does uh, and the worst thing as what as another one. thank you so much, my one of the breaking a little this down for a smile and the shower. i'll just here is a senior political analyst. well, thank you for staying with us here on our own, just here as we get the latest news out of living on where as well as killed at least 274 people pulling a 1000 inches. we've also heard of a target is riley strike on by roots. we'll have much more on that in the next few
7:58 pm
moments. in the meantime, we take a short break, stay with us, the they for another to defend the american constitution. again. so why would they take up homes against the country as the us heads towards the presidential election? a new series explodes, the role of military veterans in far right column groups. that's a crew to that potential threat to democracy. against all enemies on al jazeera, what we do it all just sarah is try to follow this story and he's the people who allow us into their lives, dignity into mine and see the
7:59 pm
8:00 pm
safe, the mean big come in as an international intake or ups and excellence award denominator here on now the our town. so i'm living on campus alliance is around which isn't it says is a targeted strike owned by rigs. the diversity comes up as well as bump up into the southern living on coming more than 260 people. the told me to try this is ellen to 0 in line from tow. how so coming up, people are playing some live.
