6:01 pm
$29.00 palestinians. deadly attacks came in the north, south and west of the gaza strip. and for the 1st time and nearly 60 years, thousands of dollars, workers in the us go on strength disrupting the economy, weeks before the presidential election. the your fears of imminent escalation in the middle east. a senior us official has warranted that iran is preparing a ballistic missile attack on israel. the us embassy and israel has ordered employees and their families to shelter in place until further notice. the warning comes as is really forces have struck a building in the lebanese capital b roots overnight. attacks on the southern suburb of a route destroyed several residential buildings. as the law says, it launched missiles towards military outposts near tel aviv, which these really military says were interested. and earlier israel said its
6:02 pm
troops crossed into 711 on for what it was calling limited and targeted raids against the group. it has the last spokesman denied the reports, but did say that the group is ready to confront is really forces. if true, it would be the 1st time israel has had boots on the ground in lebanon since the war in 2006 after 0 is dorsey jabari joins us from the lebanese capital. what's happening in beirut, ortho. of the well sir, we're at the feet of one of the latest attacks that's being carried out by israel. i'm just going to get out of the shots. so mark, everybody can show you what is happening behind me. this appears to be yet another targeted assassination or attempted assassination. that this was a strike on a residential building. it appears they hits a certain floor that they were aiming for, and the ones that are above and below it were just collateral damage. now we've
6:03 pm
been told by people at the scene that said this happened just about an hour or so ago. and as you can see, the emergency personnel are still working through the rubble trying to figure out what they can and we have not seen a body come out as of yet. that is what we're expecting. this building is located next to one of the main hospitals in this area are very rude to. it's called the hospital and it's quite a large hospital facility. this building is also located a few kilometers away from the 2nd air chart that took place just before this one. and that building near us is also a, we believe to be a party to a targeted assassination. what they say is targeted assassination. very clearly, these buildings are a residential buildings that they're hitting. the 2nd location away from where we
6:04 pm
are at the moment is also close to uh, the quote weights, embassy. and also as we understand to the main highway that length of the airport to the city. so you understand the geography of where we are at the moment here is just beyond these buildings further out. so we're at the, one of the entrance points of the area surrounding the southern suburb of a room that has seen on pressure the amounts of attacks. and of course, as there was over, as there was at least 8, the air strikes on da here overnight. so that we saw, and those airstrikes were heard by people across the capital. this is the latest in a series of air strikes that israel is carried out clearly intensifying and extending the broad scale of its attacks across celebrities. capital at a cost $11.00 on that is the scene is $1500.00 gmc that is the seen in the 11 east capital bay roads officers. dorset tovaris is at the foot of that building in
6:05 pm
the immediate aftermath of it is really strikes there are door, so thank you very much for your report and we'll go now to our white house correspondent kimberly healthcare is joining us from washington dc. so kimberly were saying at the top of the show, a senior us official has warned that a ron is preparing a ballistic missile attack on israel. that's what we have so far. tell us everything you know about this. yeah, well, according to that official, the u. s. has received indications through its intelligence that arise prepping for ballistic missile attack against israel. now, what we've learned is that in response to that israel is in turn, pressing for defensive measures in order to defend itself against what it believes is in the imminent attack by iran. now, the statement goes on to say that the direct military attacks from
6:06 pm
a run against israel will carry severe consequences for iran. what would that look like? well, we've learned that it would look very similar to what we saw last april. and that is when a ron launched a roughly $300.00 ballistic missiles and drones, all of them were interested either by israel or by the allied forces in support of israel that included the united states. now, we know, according to the secretaries, the anthony blake and the united states is tracking very closely all of the developments that are going on in the middle east, coordinating with israel. so this is being followed very closely. but again, what i can tell you is that there is this belief on the part of the united states as recently as in the last few days. but despite the claims that are being made by iran, that there is the feeling that there is not a desire by a wrong to have
6:07 pm
a direct confrontation. in fact, national security council spokesman john kirby said that they don't believe that a ron wants a direct fight. in fact, what they're saying is given the bolstered force posture of the united states in the region, one that we should point out has been a sort of ads up in the last few days by a few 1000 now increasing to about 43000 in the region that a ron should think twice about any sort of either direct attacks or proxy attacks given the forest past year. and in fact the us believes that this may even be a deterrence. okay, kimberly, i just want to ask you again because this has the potential to be so so important how, how do we know this, right? who's, who's saying this? um and, and has a, i know no evidence has been provided. but why? um, what information are they providing? uh that makes this sound incredible.
6:08 pm
okay. hey, kimberly, can you still hear me? this is sarah lindo. all right. it looks like kimberly oh good has lost us. we'll go back to her a little later. it's bringing home the so who it's in jordan's capital, a mine because these really government has banned alpha 0 from reporting within israel. and just so you know what we're watching as you'll be speaking, we have in the center of our screen, the live shot of the roots or the southern close to da. here the southern suburb of a root is the it's the seat of a building that has just recently been struck by israel. and we're also watching the the baby with city scape, where we've seen somebody strikes over the last few days from israel over various targets. let's, let's go to what you have. uh, do you know anything about what we're discussing with, kimberly this information that is being shared by
6:09 pm
a us official that iran could be preparing to attack israel with a ballistic missile? well, there are certainly preparations being made in israel. these really armies folks 1st and daniel has already said that these really is received the message from american counterparts, but that they didn't really detect any sort of ariel threats or preparations from the audience just yet, based on their own intelligence. but daniel has already did go on to say that if 8 on were to attack israel similarly to what we saw and back in april when they launch nearly 350 cruise, ballistic missiles and drones into is really territory and aerospace. they say they're prepared with their air defenses and that there will be consequences for this. but at the same time, these really defense minister you'll have galani, is currently meeting with the army, chief of staff and according to reports within his early media, they're discussing this threat. they're discussing how to combat it. they're discussing other sort of measures to put in place because there have been new home
6:10 pm
front command guidelines that have been issued by these really military and the government putting restrictions on gatherings, embassy staff, it at the us embassy is at least have in order to shelter in place and politicians are speaking about unity at a time like this of a conflict that is spreading wider and wider. what has these really been military been saying about what it's doing 11 on these really already have said they're conducting what they call small and targeted raids, but make no mistake. it's still full invasion into solver and lebanese territory. they say they have specific goals in mind. they want to destroy his beloved, destroyed all of its military infrastructure, and that they want to return those evacuated residents to those towns and settlements along these roles. northern border, they've also been saying for weeks that they have a lot of tools in their arsenal, that they haven't yet a waste on his below. and the ground invasion was one of them. they say that it's
6:11 pm
not going to be so long. they're not going to push very deep into lebanese territory, but of course, there hasn't really been any reports of face to face come back just yet. and it's still on known exactly what these really are going to be up against. because this is a different beast. this is not guys of this is not be occupied, westbank, this is his beloved in lebanon. so there are concerns among these really security spirits about what's to come next. but israel says that it's important to invade on the ground in order to push trans below away from the border. i'm the so reporting from amman, jordan, thank you very much for that. iran con is in, has by a southern lebanon. so you're in the border communities, the front line communities, one might say really, roughly how far you from these really border iran and what have you seen today or well, we're about 8 to columbus is away from the is really voted. but let me just take you through what happened in the last 24 hours. we started hearing
6:12 pm
and seeing in 10 say strikes and all to the re around about 7 pm round about 7 pm last night. that got me and more and more intense. and we realized that something was up and then the report started coming out. the these ratings were preparing a ground invasion has bullet started to fire back. they were launching rockets where we were enable psyche and the merger you districts. and it was very, very intense of firing at that stage. what was the room is lying around the the is where do you want me? you had given an evacuation order to that particular village in the hotel, the myself and oh my goodness, colleagues was staying and it was dark, so we didn't move. but throughout the night, all of that kept going and kept going. and then you have that statement from the is really on the site
6:13 pm
a ground offensive had started. well we didn't see any evidence of it. now in the morning, we actually had to leave it both aki with a hotel. it was because there was an evacuation hold given by these ready homie and evacuation for 26 different villages and towns. one of the roads you went through had been struck quite b is ray news. that was a huge convoy of just seriously frightening people who wanted to leave that area. thinking and hoping that the homes might be sped by anything that might be coming. they were very scared, but they were also scared about where they were going to go. they didn't think the route was going to be safe until and the other places that might go to a lebanese army then leveled the road. they made a make shift of repairs. and then about 6 hours ago, these really ami attacked it again. and basically they've cutoff that vital
6:14 pm
lifeline. they've told people to leave, they've told people to evacuate. and then one of the roads that they've simply boned closing a bottleneck. so that that is exactly what i wanted to double check with you. we're talking about parts of 711 on where israel has told residence to leave. you've told us there's one road out. this is the way to leave. and israel bombs the road such that they can't leave. do i get this right? they've done it twice. you go to complete the right the you i heard in one of your earlier reports that the among the residents that you've spoken to, they keep referring to gaza. why? when you have safe areas or allegedly safe areas, you can go to in normal times when the escalation was happening, pre last week it was felt the baby route was the place you could go to. the to
6:15 pm
government was a place you can go to when it intensified off to the page. and then we'll control key attacks of last week. now people, uh, 2 weeks ago now and times people were very, very frightened because they felt that this was a terrorist attack against civilians. that's what they called a terror attack. and then this absolute escalation. and then they seeing they route funding by saying to building and they saying to themselves will those areas on site and they keep saying to me in front do what do you know tell us anything. what's going on in barry? what's going on and see what's going on and see them where all these places i want to go to the front and, and they keep saying to me, we feel something living on is going to become. another goal is when they get a full says, i don't say they're going to send us like they did residents into the south of goza to be rude or 2 to and then they get them. and it's, it's, it's, it's a full,
6:16 pm
i have to say it's awful to get those messages because you can't do anything you call and tell them anything. so, and i'm just very quick and i'm just indulging for us. i go ahead. i remember all correspondence and goes up a doing the same thing, do it, having people call them up and say what is going on with panic and we don't know what's happening looking for as much information as possible. and i'm feeling that here right now when people are calling me and people are texting me. okay. more on con, reporting from southern level known as he told us at the top, you're about 8 kilometers away from the is really border. these are the front line communities and they are now trying to leave their homes and villages all just there was a wrong. com. thank you very much. the us says that there will be serious consequences for ron if it chooses to launch a direct military attack against israel. america has significant fired power in the middle east. the abraham lincoln stripe group is in the arabian sea. it's made up
6:17 pm
of an aircraft carrier missile, a cruiser and destroyers. the wasp marine amphibious group is in the eastern mediterranean. it has units of highly trained marines and landing ships that can be used as mobile command centers. and for the actuation. 3 air expeditionary wings containing bomber is still fighters and fighter jets, or bass and guitar, in the united edwards, the united arab emirates, and incur wait and is the us the fleet, which is based in by rain and operates in the gulf. it's missile, cruisers and destroyers are able to shoot down this aisles. we are joined by rob guy's point, been sold, lecturer in peace and security of durham university. you're joining us from down in the u. k. rob, i want to, i want to put to you this combine these 2 bits of information that we're getting in the last 60 minutes or so. one is from israel, and the is really ministry spokesman daniel regard. he says that there where he claims that there was a, an imminent threat of a has belong october 7th style attack. but this one coming from lebanon into israel,
6:18 pm
across the border. there's an imminent threat and they have been launching according to him. and special forces operations the last few months to uh, to, to deal with that threat. secondly, just in the last 60 minutes we're hearing from a us or us that the run is getting ready to launch on this side with ballistic missile. it is real. all right, so and then threat israel's northern border according to these relays, an imminent threat against the israel, by iran, according to the us. now in this war we don't take anything that anyone says at face value. i want to put these 2 things to you and ask you what you make of that. as well as regarding the 1st claim, i am skeptical that actually was in evidence right. and that there of course is a threat. so you never had split is known as ation that has been attacking israel and since very shortly after your tober 7th attack, 60000 is res. have been moved from the north add to that more secure area. so there is definitely a threat. the question is whether it was evident and there's no evidence for that
6:19 pm
this fall and then we saw is ro degrade has been his capabilities. the count has gotten us, rather they've injured thousands of hezbollah fines is including special forces units. they've taken out the entire commanding structure, all the red ones, special forces use, the hezbollah is severely wounded right now, that it might have the capability might have the intention to carry out a kind of attack like that. but i question its ability to deliver that. i'm 2nd of all, i also question it's intention because hezbollah, i'm the have been trying to basically hunker down and see this one out to, to know, given to his relative escalations and kind of trying to preserve themselves. you know, if you look at this from that perspective that have mass as a shadow of it's for myself, iran and has blurred because they want the same thing to happen to has play. so they've been trying to do basically not respond to as well as bad appropriations. escalations and kind of weight is, went out and the incoming gets hot from iran. i think that is credible. i think that is a game changer. obviously,
6:20 pm
we've seen that previously. i don't care how much damage it will do. we don't know that at the moment, but remember that it runs from these strategy has always been called something called forward defense. basically pushing the, fighting away from around and helping and equipment and working with has blood. how about us? so any point thing and come back that takes place with adversary as well, doesn't take place on a rainy and soil, or let's say an attack against iran and respond. so if it run does keep doing these kind of things. we all, i dangerously close, close to them ever before into a region of war between israel and iran of it. i'll just remind our viewers of what they're seeing as we, as we continue this interview incentive. our screen is the immediate aftermath of it is really strike on a building in a roots. our doors to jabari was walking us through what that look like just a moment ago. we're also keeping an eye as we have been doing for the last few days on the bay route skyline, because we have multiple times seen is really strikes live on da here. there who
6:21 pm
it's a 7 suburb brought back to be the subject at hand. and iran also exercises what commentators have named strategic patients. in other words, they don't want a full out war with israel. would it be in their interest to launch a ballistic missile outlet, israel, or? well, i think at this stage in terms of the tears, they all, most less with no choice and less as a ceasefire. you rob felt like expecting to corner like it have to do something. you know, there's been all sorts of jobs and social media in the, our world saying, look, you know, i've has blood intervened in the syrian civil war and supported by side. you know, they really got their hands dirty and the sewing machine, all not throwing the bone and basing just leaving them to me. and there was also, it was beating the iran was doing the same, the ramos content to that 11. and, but basically, i don't think that is the case. as i say, i think iran is trying to wait this, want to have a trying to encourage hezbollah to wait is one that,
6:22 pm
but there's only so long you to tyrants couldn't be degraded. and the whole point of the tyrants is to show the enemy. if you hurt me, i could hurt you bought on at this stage. it just wasn't looking like it wrong could actually as well it wasn't looking like has bullet good as well. so once you push someone so much into a corner there eventually going to respond even if they don't want to. what lesson did we actually learn from april when iran attacked israel directly sending several 100 ms aisles. rockets, i believe drones as well at israel, almost all of which were intercepted by the us at, by israel, of course, and by other countries which, which helped protect israel in that event. the reporting that came out in the days that followed that attack after the initial sort of shocking or like, oh, this has happened. this is a 1st the reporting that came out. all of it suggested israel and the us pretty much knew what was coming. and there was a bit of a theatre about that attack to make it look one way like this massive large scale
6:23 pm
attack from around it against israel. but really, to also make sure the israel in the us will be able to intercept everything and it wouldn't push the region into what or yeah, item via the line. the iran didn't think any of those trends and miss solves were going to get through, you know, we talking hundreds, missiles 5 for the 1st time and direct direct impact. the games is well, for me. right. i think what surprised iran was the coalition baseball has managed to assemble in gold on the part of, for some of the british, the royal apples us apples to help shoot down. and many of those drugs, missiles, the question is, will, is now still be able to rely on that. i think that's very much an open question. yes, the us is saying and public, we support israel. we will make you run paid for any escalation, been crime, but the us is getting increasingly frustrated with his route. feels like they keep telling me is what he's do. one thing on these writing is do another. so the question is, how long can we carry on with those policies?
6:24 pm
how long can these ro keeps standing up to the us and say, we don't wanna do what you want, but we also expect you to defend us. that's the open question right now. okay, robert guys control, thank you so much. will speak to you again. you were lecturing peace and security at durham university. thanks for your time. thank you. israel's escalation 11. on his course international condemnation, british foreign secretary, david lam. he says that nobody wants to return to the years in which israel found himself bogged down in a quagmire. 11 on, he added that the price of original war in the middle east would be quote, huge spans far. and mister jose manuel bar, it says israel's ground incursions should be halted to reach a ceasefire in lebanon and gaza. he also condemned his boss strikes on israel. moscow says it strongly condemns israel's ground defensive and calls on israel to immediately cease hostilities and withdraw from loving on russia. warren to be offensive will lead to an escalation in the region. and turkey is also called san immediate and tell us that these thing,
6:25 pm
the conflicts could affect the countries beyond the middle east, including israel's allies. a middle name, klein is a professor of political science, said bar alon university. you're joining us from west jerusalem. it's good to have you on the program i'd, i'd really hope that we will have time to dig into the feeling and his real and the thinking and as well. let's start with the former. what's the ceiling right now on? what's the former right now on the streets of jerusalem and tell of even beyond o. thank you a good evening. a very good questions, the feeling i as you change the last 2 hours since the america and i left a little of the transfer of the in this room. and now the state of emergency, i would say um and they are restrains on new folders regarding tablet movement and gathering is one for the next 3 and
6:26 pm
a half days actually. tomorrow night we sell 3 days off to joyce 1st. if not, then you'll hear from the many is wireless plan to go to synagogue and know there are some new folders, how many people can say in one room or outside. and i assume that there's really government and the idea of who does not. so they really, today's not barrels get get of people gathering and senior goals result, the very good reason added to that earlier today there was a public discussion in the media and i do think it's built out of it. no, but it was directed to or perhaps the media got some information about it. but the question whether is one showed the size,
6:27 pm
the foot board, unity and i thought the rain you know clear have projects. oh, hold on for was the 2nd i i do think that's that's potentially very important. so you're saying that the public conversation no later than today is really media was whether israel should use this window to a talk, iran's nuclear facilities. yes, because it's not, as i said, it's not out of the blue. maybe it was raised in the secure the actual because that these really security tens of probably cup to last 2 or 3 hours a day. right. i would say drunk, can you for you, off the security, successive intelligence success in the bundle of the problems that they want to
6:28 pm
talk of the pages that people are corp, up to now and the ground invasion in to look into software but all, without an exit even though there's no discussion fees is really probably what this side's the door. what is the plan for the, for the day after is bundled so the you for yeah. let's go to our interest at the size of the moment and raise the option to, to at the very end. right? yeah, no clear project is farrell, is their appetites for that. and israel at the moment, and i, i don't know if this is a thought it is not the i'm not sure perhaps the public is beside the public opinion polls on this matter. today. it's too early to get to a reliable public opinion, a numbers,
6:29 pm
but this was in the air deal for you. i was there since the beeper. so the operation and you for you all is like one good. this was a had after it's huge success and 67 war but now ever seen the stone and done upside down with a how gaiety, ideas of information about his, his bottom, the brook ration to invite him to the doctor and got it into his way. i and i don't know, i have many questions about a got a declaration. yeah, we were asking the same questions. yeah. but anyhow, just create a public opinion on the public. moved it. it creates a public mode of imagine, see off existence of threat that to may push the decision maker on the back of the
6:30 pm
decision makers in order to at spend the warranty yet. but don't be on the agreement. that what, what these, what it's called united states has also, i guess the run, i don't know. and this is very interesting question. if the americans, the data breaks on this one and restrain is really a retaliation, a thought on iran, iraq, the heats tonight is right. there's a door is really, is know what the political and military leadership actually wants to do in 11 on. i mean, it has, has a, it doesn't sound to me like there's been a precise plan to present it to these really is we know what their end goal is officially, which is to return is really residents about 60000 people to their homes in the north but has the, is really a political or military leadership has said,
6:31 pm
this is what we're going to do. those are going to be the indicators of success. and this is where it ends. if i, i don't think that they have a clear answer. but if i take, for instance, the security measures done in gaza, ok, and other security plans for it. peace settlement with it. but the thing i see the west bank keeping id, if soldiers in this security district is sort of liberal, who could be part of the day of the plan of thinking good some or if, if there is a plan, but thinking definitely this is a message. oh, the person i best to design to use no gun. so you're describing a land graham grabbing the southern part of living on and using it is a buffer zone. is that what you're talking about?
6:32 pm
yes, yes. and this isn't the man's off. the lease manager displays people and they are mails out of regional counselors. this is the message that they transferred to to, to the government. taking into consideration that they might know these. india kills and, and his bottom knob is broken and confused. is there anybody in the know that can take the responsibility to provide secure security for this right there. that in the demise to recognize boulders, adult therefore is one will stay there and if i stayed there it is a truck because then they usually sort just we would face a do in the waterfront. everybody's yeah. i, well, since since you bring that up, i wonder, is there anybody in this public conversation people the discussion in israel, that is sort of like reminding the public, hey, you know,
6:33 pm
hezbollah came into existence because israel was occupying 711 on we went into southern lebanon to get rid of at the time, but his real was saying was the, the threat from the palestinian resistance. they ended up with a much longer lasting resistance that was indulgent as to that country. right. the actually live in his people. we ended up being the, the new resistance is really in southern lebanon. is there anybody sort of making those points that yeah, it's, it was brought up, but it's not in the mainstream. and the, the reaction to this argument is, okay, what is delta elective? and nobody's such as the police because of the guy say nobody in this way. and of course the american administration could add process advice by the, in his voice publicly said, we pray fair upon you think our solution. but in this, and this was no but the push to to watson in the administration or prepare. there
6:34 pm
is one, the public opinion, florida, politically. so i mean, i am klein, professor of political science at bar line university, joining us from west jerusalem this hour. we're thankful for your time and we'll talk to you again. thank you. let's take a moment to recap our top story. this. our a senior us official has one that iran is preparing a ballistic missile attack on israel. the us embassy in israel has ordered employees and their families to shelter in place until further notice. this comes as is really forces carried out. another airstrike underwood's southern suburbs are watching the aftermath there. earlier israel had said that its troops had crossed into southern lebanon. so what it's calling limited and targeted rage against the group. it has the last spokesman denied those reports, but said that his, the law is ready to confront is really forces of true. it will be the 1st time the israel has had boots on the ground in 11 on since the war in 2006. and his boss says that it is fired missiles that it is really military base. and the
6:35 pm
intelligence headquarters in tel aviv air raid sirens sounded across the city is really army says some of the projectiles were interested at least a 100000 people have crossed from lebanon into syria in an attempt to escape israel's bombardment. the flood of people into the war to a neighboring country began just over a week ago, when israel widened it's a tax on lebanon. and for those who fled, they say, leaving was the safest option. the situation and nothing on is tragic. we live and bile back and there were a lot of strikes in the area where we live. so we had no choice but to come here. the road to here was very difficult. these raiders with striking cost, and it was only by the mossey of gold that we made it. hey you this live shot by the way. this is that the un headquarters in new york, you're seeing the podium from which the spokes person of the un secretary general usually addresses the media. that's defenders like uh,
6:36 pm
and we are expect him to make an address shortly. so i'm just showing you this because we will be carrying it live and it could have, beg your pardon. it could happen momentarily. joining us here in studio is semi l. r, and he directs the center for islam and global affairs at stumbles. i in university sent, sent me, thank you for your time. again. if we have to come to the live event, i do apologize in advance and to help us give us your thoughts on, on what we're seeing, what is this thing that we're looking at? it's a war, but we don't know exactly where it's headed. we know how it has started, but we do not know how it ends. well, as far as are honest consent, we know that they're on. it's been hit hard. 2 months ago when the, the chief of this of, of how much sense my money, i was assessing it. so it has been exhibiting strategic patience. mean one is what has been showing us what digit madness. and they have been lashing out of there and
6:37 pm
is less than right. and it's about time for is a lot of people think it's about time for it on to show some backbone otherwise to be, to see as weak, which would probably give in more uh, reasons to hit iran. and right now i think what the are on is probably contemplating is to do the same thing. they did back in april by sending some drones and some midsize to demonstrate today's right is that they can't get away with what they're doing right. but all those drones and missiles were interested, i'm not sure what message in reality it ended up sending to israel. well, the drones and miss eyes that were hit or was at least a looking, taken back were not the actual targets there was but a stick mr. that actually got in into the, the air force base. it was just a, an exercise to demonstrate that they're capable of penetrating and getting there. now this time around may not just be a demonstration for the, an actual hit. on the 7th all gets particularly made to the basis and instead of
6:38 pm
just headquarters. so we opened the show with the fact that a us official says a ron and was preparing an evidence attack against israel. that's something you are taking. the you're treating that as a, as a credible allegation, and you're taking it seriously. i'm sending, if that is the case, that would have been the end of the statistic patients of that on. but we need to understand also that the more iran hesitates, the more a gives appetite for is to hit particular literally around and its allies. and that's what this one's been doing for the past 2 months, because it's being perceived as being weakness on the part of the wrong they're not responding. and therefore, let's push the envelope any more in and nothing else particular to any, especially government, or what they're interested in is to provoke and intimidate their on, in order to possibly get the united states involved in heating, then you've got facilities, and that's what they have been trying to do is to poke around in the i in every way possible for the hope that somehow iran would, would retaliate not proportionately so that the united states could be drawn into
6:39 pm
this conflict. so so israel and this is not the 1st time i've heard this, right. this is the idea of the israel's actually really trying to provoke uh, the war that it has wanted to have against iran. i don't know if you heard or previous guess he was speaking from west jerusalem. he was saying and he is really media today. there has been a discussion showed his real use this window of time, this window of opportunity that it has created for itself to go ahead and strike it runs nuclear facilities. that's the conventional wisdom is that the current, fastest government to me is i is trying to end this conflict. and if you have a lot of times by trying to eliminate it's n is 1st, thomas then has the law and find that it was wrong. and for air on the most important thing for them is the new facilities. but that does not take into account that they don't as have tickets a business to you and the capacity also to hit by car, not only at them you care, facility and other places. but also as many us interests in the region, including oil facilities or they find that is, you know,
6:40 pm
the whole economy of the work with collapse of this really gets that will have. so yeah, we've never seen anything that i think it's important to point out this, this hypothetical scenario of a direct war between israel and iran is one that we've not seen before. so this could be potentially catastrophic if there could be massive cost in terms of human lives. and we just don't know how far that could go and how deadly it could get. that's exactly right. and one of the reason is the impotence or perhaps the nibbling of died, states into this because the us has the capacity to start this without that cement . i mean, sorry, let me jump and we have the spokes person. so you inspector general's defenders, like as i was saying earlier, he's speaking live from the us october and that is and best that are plus go burchfield of switzerland. she will, of course, be briefly on the counsels program of work and a note. this will be an in person briefing, only. you'll be able to follow it on the webcasts, but uh the zoom connection will not be active. during that briefing,
6:41 pm
you will have seen that this morning and a statement the secretary general express is extreme concern with the escalation of the conflict in lebanon. he appeals for an immediate cease fire, and all that war must be avoided at all costs. he said, and the territorial integrity of lebanon must be respected. the secretary general spoke earlier this morning to probably middest initially make copy of lebanon on he told the prime minister that the united nation system at 11 on was fully mobilized to assist all those in need in the country. the secretary general's representatives on the ground will continue their efforts to do everything possible to de escalate the situation. also, we spoken to our we spoke a little short while ago to our colleagues at unit feel. and they confirmed that despite this dangerous these dangerous developments, un peacekeepers remain in position and are regularly adjusting their posture and
6:42 pm
activities in order to fulfill their mandate. we, of course, remain grateful to the mission, civilian and military personnel who continue to serve under such conditions. and also to our troop contributing countries for their can. 10 you commitment and support to unicell the department of peace operations and due to fail or closely engage with troop contributing countries to update them on developments on the ground. also in his statement, the secretary general appealed to the international community to urgently support the 426000000 dollar emergency flash humanitarian appeal that was launched in bare root earlier today, our humanitarian colleagues say that this money aims to support 1000000 people with humanitarian assistance for the next 3 months, the humanitarian coordinator, and 11 on him, ron reeves, a warrant that without sufficient resources, humanitarians risk leaving the population of an entire country without support to
6:43 pm
be all urgently need. meanwhile osho warrants that the number of displaced people is expected to rise. this is is really defensive. ready it has continued to issue evacuation orders, including in 30 villages in south lebanon, and those orders were issued between yesterday and today. in this regard, we also note that over a 100000 people have not moved from lebanon into syria. as over 200000 people have been displaced from southern 11 on. meanwhile, over 60000 people remain displaced from their homes in northern israel. the un refugee agency continues to step up its emergency response and working with partners to provide urgency about a chair and a protection support in its response for those displaced in lab. and also we in our partners, is supporting the government's own work by providing food, nutrition for children, award and other central supplies,
6:44 pm
such as mattresses and hygiene kids. unicef also supported a nearly $200.00 collective shelters. hosting about 50000 displays with a central supplies the world health organization for its part continues to support the lebanese public health emergency operation center by providing staff, financial and technical support. turning to yeah, man, and i know you asked us what the impact on who the data was. and i can tell you that residents humanitarian coordinator for am. and julian harness travel to hold data today to assess the situation and our ongoing efforts to provide food and nutrition as needs increased, especially along the evans, west coast, or humanitarian partners. also report that after conducting an initial assessment, both ports remain operational and are able to receive commercial and humanitarian supplies. power station, the thing is that still are listening to these folks in person to more than you in
6:45 pm
chief. this is defenders that take on your screen. he's the folks person for antonio cherry under wayne, so they continue joining us here in the studio, back with a single student. well, you have left is samuel area. you direct a center face nomine. global affairs at the stumbles. i am university. we were always going to be interested in what the one would have to say about this 2 things they're calling for an immediate cease fire. uh, they're mentioning their extreme concern. so i think in the, in the un hierarchy of adjectives that they used to qualify their concern, i think extreme signal is using the very top right. yes. and is one interesting thing to me and i don't know what you make of it is the offer. and that the us, i beg your pardon, the you, when is trying to propose and the off ramp is, let the un in the lebanese government do what they were supposed to do in 711 on. and he mentioned that again, you feel that the united nations force is ready to fulfill its mandate. and
6:46 pm
i wonder if that's something that could end up being a political settlement meeting has been removed from southern level known as they were supposed to be under the terms of the un resolution. 17 o one unit, phil and the lebanese government, the patrol southern level. so united nations as the face of international order, this international order has been managed, led by the net states for the last part, but it's been week and impotent during this whole year where israel has started, it's genocide, the water and gas, so against simmons. so what's happening here has been that the, the, the united nations, all these organs, the general assembly, the security council event, and at the court of justice, especially on the national criminal court. none of this was a lucian's and none of their uh, decisions have been implemented for the sake for the simple reason that is and defies. the international community defies all these organs because it's intent on pursuing it's delusional. objective of trying to destroy the for this thing is the
6:47 pm
story civilian life, trying to eliminate the resistance. and also it wants to bring back. it's a displaced people at the northern a, is it right or, or, or, or in southern lebanon without giving any consideration to what it's doing because we need to, to, to the view why we're here. i mean, the reason has of a lot wasn't involved in this. it's trying to stop the words shut down. the one who does this has been a demand by almost every country and the what? no one wants to do anything about it. everybody is looking, you know, away except as milan was doing something about it. in addition to you, i meant, you know, you touched on something absolutely major there. because israel, of course, would see no legitimacy for his belong in fighting on behalf of the palestinians. and this would, this is likely to be a very divisive issue. so i'm, i'm kind of glad you bring it up on his blog. was fighting on behalf of the palestinians. and you know,
6:48 pm
it's something israel says it has no right to do. when demand shut down, this war stop and the genocide that is the demand of everybody. that's what the mendel, the international court of justice. they do not have the means to do that and try to enforce that decision that should have been enforced by the security council which failed its mission of try and give it. it was, it was an ocean and trying to shut down this what they were doing, something about it, the pressure is what it is. i said, we're not going to do that. we're going to continue getting the posting and you have no right of interfering just as well as is no, we're not. we're not going to let your people get back to the north before you stop this. this is very simple. the stop, the war was stop the war, not the only they, the fuel was, but there was after his will and it's not enough to force it. but they will be the game and trying to think that somehow they can separate what's happening in southern lebanon from what's happening does. and here's will allow me that you know, over and over again, that they're not going to back down, even after all these sacrifices. so we're going to, we may end up actually with the region award. we've made it much more killing because of the defiance of is and not only a but as well and iran,
6:49 pm
but also for the whole international community. samuel, our and thank you for your views, this our appreciate it. thank you. it is really strikes have killed at least $29.00 people across the gaza strip west of hon. eunice. that is really drone attack has killed at least 11 people. it hit a 10 sheltering display, smell, it seems, and on the wasi an area, israel had a one point designated as a safe zone. dozens of injured, many of which are children were taken to nicer hospital. and these are scenes from han units where a civilian car was targeted by his relayer strikes, then crashed into a makeshift 10th and a refugee camp. 6 people were killed in this attack are still ahead on alpha 0. so us selections, the vice presidential debates, rarely matter, but we'll tell you why it's a different story with republican j. d. vance and democrats. tim was asking for the
6:50 pm
6:51 pm
business latest to sponsored by him to like global your real estate destination in due by the 10s of thousands of dock workers who have gone on strike of ports across the united states of the union talks broke down the international longshoremen's association is demanding higher wages and job protection against automation of the strikes threatens to shut down ports from texas to maine, and that would impact global supply chain straining the us economy. houses here as christian salumi joins us now live from the port of new jersey. so christian walk us through what the, the unions are demanding and how we got to this point. yeah,
6:52 pm
well i'm going is speaking with some of the dock workers here and they point out here at the largest port on the east coast. they've been saying that they were hard through the pandemic, put their own lives at risk coming to worse when other americans were staying home . and during that time, the shipping companies that they were for were making billions and billions of dollars and they want their fair share of those profit to the us marathon. the lions has come up with a deal that offers about 50 percent pay increase has over 6 months, but they haven't changed protections around automation. and that's another big issue for the workers here. they want to make sure that their jobs are protected from automation, as one of the workers told me, robots don't pay taxes. so that's what they are fighting for. they want more pay more protections and they say for they are,
6:53 pm
they're willing to stay here on the picket line until they get it. i'm not sure i didn't hear you right. when you said that the, the employers offered a 50 percent pay increase of that 50 or 1550 or 15, cuz those are 2 very different realities and, and the backup question. what impact is this going to have on, on the us supply chain, the that was 50 percent, 50 spread out over 6 years like this is sounds like a lot, but the words are saying, given these companies have made billions and billions of dollars. that's what they deserve, it's not war, but again, the big sticking point to automation. now, what's the impact is going to be that's a big concern for everyone in the united states. the supply chain is why the containers here, 100000 of these containers that carry harlow are now sitting empty and they're gonna sit empty and tell the story. cuz over the white house says,
6:54 pm
this is not going to impact fuel supplies. still, prices are to suffice in the short term, at any rate, the concern is the longer this goes on that it leads to shortages, retail shortages, and price increases ahead of the holiday. as you know, last we're going into the business shopping season. so a lot of retailers are waiting for their goods to come from overseas. the white house is also concerned because the elections are coming up and more inflation is not something that they want to see going into an election season until the white house is encouraging both sides to come to the table to reach the negotiate and to do so fairly and quickly get inflation. definitely a big deal with the selection of the republicans have been trying to hang that around complet harris's neck. chris is salumi, alive from the port of new jersey. thank you very much. kristen. with the polls, neck and neck in the us. presidential election tuesdays vice presidential debate is
6:55 pm
attracting actually a great deal of attention. the chances of another presidential debate are thought to be new between cala harris and donald trump. and this debate is being seen as a chance for both campaigns to make their closing arguments to voters. shabbots unsuitables a j b vans. tim waltz have emerged as distinct personalities during this election campaign. a 4 year old marine vet from yale law school graduate and venture capitalist, donald trump's running make bands cells themselves as a rags to riches success story, having grown up in a hard scramble. rural community in ohio is memoir hill, billy allergy was a best seller to waltz, is a 6 year old from a high school teacher and american football coach. he so 5 terms in the us house of representatives before twice being elected as governor of minnesota is down to f. folksy presentation. how successfully contrasted with j. d volumes is often when public appearances. in fact,
6:56 pm
as the campaign has progressed, wells has become more popular for vans, has no lower favorability ratings to move which is about to move in. we already have a pretty good idea of the 2 candidates lines of attacks. welts has really killed balances, origin story, like all regular people i grew up with in the heartland, j. d study to yale. had his career funded by silicon valley, billionaires and then wrote a best seller, trashing that community, come off. and francis had to defend various post statements and positions for which he has since retreated. for once cooling donald trump, americas apply to advocating for a federal abortion bound to this comment, suggesting people without children have low stake in the countries future were effectively run in this country via the democrats, via, via our corporate, all the guards by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made. and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable to own bands and the tag bolts overstating his military records. do not
6:57 pm
pretend to be something that you're not. i'm for being a radical, leftist who had come out of the harris will leave the country to ruin through an open border in an election likely to be decided by a few 100000 votes. the vice presidential debate is being seen as potentially more significant than usual. there perhaps will, will closely be scrutinized, wouldn't be any policy proposals discussed, but the potential for a significant blunder on stage by either participant, she ever time c, l g 0 washington. and mexico cloudy assign bomb is making history and she's about to be sworn in as the country's 1st woman president. in all your ration ceremony will take place of the congress and the capital. she won the election in june with 60 percent of the vote, but she faces challenges from violence, from organized crime, and economic reforms. and serial. then units of this news our, we're gonna take a very short break, but we'll be back in a moment with continuing coverage of israel's war against his belong. but this
