to tell the story, the president hotels with the mirror of cat tom, it's just as often known, shooting nearly $200.00 missiles at israel in an operation test, ron says, is now completes the hello. i'm marianne m. i z. this is alger 0 life from dell. also coming up on the program, 8 is right, new soldiers killed in southern lebanon is fighting intensifies between israel and it has been lost sight time to stop the sickening cycle of escalation of that escalation. nephew's leaving the people of the me of the leaves,

straight over the leaves, united nations secretary general condemns of islands as the security council met to discuss this latest escalation. the meanwhile is really a tax across the causes trans flush and funds, and killed more than 70 palestinians. the, we'd begin here and catch all where around president magnitude possess shaquille and has met with the mirror of cats are in a scheduled visit to the gulf state. it comes a day off to, to ron 5, nearly $200.00 miss solves that military and security targets in israel. it runs farm and it's just as it considers the operation completed in the past. yeah, accounts are, has been media 18, cx, 5 talks between israel and him, us, i know most others i have failed. since mediation is our strategic option as part

of a foreign solid single sided, we reiterate that we will continue to exist in the maximum pressure in our mediation efforts to put an end to the war and concept and have the detained and captives released despite the continued i look terry escalations like israel us can . we also reiterate that a 2 state solution to the establishment of an independent and viable palestinian state, or in the 1967 ford escape, the service the edits. capital is the key to a lasting peace in the region for us to show it to you. and alger. there is diplomatic editor james bias was listening into that news conference we didn't learn. i don't thinking that recently brief press of parents don't know questions that a great deal new, but of course, i think there was some very significant things going on here. the 1st thing is that the writing president, given everything going on in this country, this is a pre planned visit. still decided to come here to catch up for this meeting for it for 2 day visit here. there's actually

a meeting of asian leaders of the asian cooperative dialogue. it's taking place in doha. so he'll be, he'll be attending that too. but i think it's interesting. but at this time, what his country may be facing retaliation at any point soon from israel that he's still decided to make that trip. here, of course, counsel has been very, very significant, diplomatically. and although the amount of cuts out didn't tell us, i don't think a great deal new in that news conference. he is an important plan because because cattle and egypt along with the us have been the ones trying to get that c spa deals for month to month to month. so see, so i deal between israel and how much on the peanuts, the center of the diplomacy. katara is a country that can talk to the united states can tool to iran. and i think it's a significant but the writing and president decided to continue his, his plans once it wrong, decided to make that response with those that,

that miss all attacked that we saw almost exactly 24 hours. okay. of course have been following developments on the israel 11 and buddha is ready troops and has beloved light is locked in. intense baffles is righty all me is confirmed the age of its officers and soldiers have been killed and now the 7 were injured. some of them are in a serious condition, across the rest of 1111 continuous. as righty as strikes, especially on the lebanese capital, st. ahold reports now from bay root. israel says its soldiers are operating in southern left and on. the military has released the video showing its troops in border villages. it's also released photos of the tanks in a ground operation. it says ames to destroy hezbollah sites, as well says soldiers engaged in hand to hand combat with the armed group. but hezbollah says it's fighters forced them to retreat for more than one access along the 120 kilometer border as well. media have reported destined injuries among the

troops who, according to 11 on the army, advanced up to 400 meters before pulling back. the hezbollah is projecting confidence. and amid the rubble of a destroyed building and the southern suburbs of a route, a message of defiance was reiterated to back up the what happened today is only the tip of the iceberg. we're waiting for the is really enemy to reveal the total number of those skilled among them. the number is high, but they're hiding this. how is this the fighters are fully prepared to confront the enemy, our command, and control our fine? so our, our resources, we assure data me, this is the 1st round because the law has been hit hard in recent weeks as well. strikes have been relentless and the destruction where the group has of presence is significant. it has also lost much of its military leadership and assassination, including the secretary general house on the throne. but the group has made it clear that the lease it can shift the balance of power, but less than the other one, it's about any olmby. how many yet?

lot of people with a knit on israeli troops with problems as well as the defense is trying to locate the groups positions and the willingness to fight as well as response was strong. and they were like you surprised by that it seems they want to take control of fuel kilometers along the border. and why do use it as a negotiating card to impose their conditions? i should review these really military has said it has no plans for a wider occupation, and its operation in lebanon is about destroying what it says are tunnels and infrastructure on the border. but has the law is showing its command and control structure is intact. it continues to fire rockets and missiles across the border, reaching the suburbs of tel aviv isabel dominates the skies overlapping on and operates with near impunity. capitalizing on its superior air power. but as well as so able to use it strategic weapons. and that has proven in previous confrontations that it has the advantage on the ground a this could only be more violence,

as mediation efforts are at a standstill center for their eligibility to paid out until such a bar a joins has now from the revenues capital by root, 1st of all, what it has been loss saying about this. fighting with is right, the soldiers on the border of the weather and it has, well, i has issued the statements today. it's saying that they've carried out 12 operations against is riley forces within a $1011.00 on territory. now, all of that 21 uh, operations. i think 3 of them are quite significant as the 1st one being and they as well as statement said that that they destroyed 3 mark of a tank with miss hall. and they were as when these really forces were advancing in the town of murder. one of the last that is in the middle sector of the southern

region border and the with the 120 kilometer at border that live in on shares with israel. there was also another attack where they targeted a gathering of israeli forces and around the town of their age and zip that also, according to the statement by hezbollah, resulted in is really forces fatalities. and also finally in them, your own village, they designate as a bomb, when they waited for his very troops to come in. and that's when they decided to attack, and they designated bombs killing. also, a further is really soldiers now and according to the statement, it is clear that this is the 1st time over the past 2 days since israel and on. so they have launched this limits, has ground offensive or operation onto russian and 11 these territory that so it has below, has acknowledge that there was actually a face to face combat between the 2 sides. so what they're saying now is 11 of them

is really to are trying to advance since 11 on and has will of fighters are repelling these advances and making sure that the m. d, 's rarely forces are forced back out of out of 11 on territory in the south. we understand according to these, where the army h soldiers have been killed and at least 351 to some of them that are in critical condition those. so those numbers might change of the coming hours, but it's significant that we've now i was just gonna ask, i was just gonna ask you that. uh was we listening to the 11 east representatives the united nations in this emergency meeting? he was saying they were real fears about how the country is going to cope with the humanitarian disaster. they've launched an urgent appeal to confront the crisis. what else has been happening in the country? what we've heard from the intern caretaker apartment, a sort of a duplicate out to you who also are it's for unity. he said that this is a time for the countries to come together. and he said that the lebanese army is

ready to do its part in ensuring that resolution 17 o one is in force and it is, is here to course, and these are very difficult times of this is not the 1st time we've heard this from the lebanese caretaker prime minister, clearly trying to make an appeal, given the humanitarian situation that we're seeing according to the deputy lebanese ambassador to the way that they are asking for 4 $126000000.00 in aid. because they now have one and a half 1000000 syrian refugees in 11 on as well as 500000 palestinians. and on top of that, there is now nearly about a 1000000 lebanese that are internally display. so all of this creating really a very large humanitarian crisis. in the country and all the leadership here within the carriers have are government or urging the big country to be united to find a resolution to this conflict. and urging also the international community to do

its best to urge israel and pressure as well to abandon this goal of trying to carry out these operations with a loving on that are further exasperating the situation. okay, thank you so much. joseph jabari and be rude. i'm the cell who is in jordan's capital online because the government is ready to come in and find out is there from reporting from that what what, what do use righty all me say honda about the the soldiers who has been killed and injured the the well the military has formally announced that aid is really soldiers and officers were killed in fighting today, saying that there were also several severe injuries and that everyone who was involved in those incidents was evacuated to hospitals within israel. but it's important to mention that these really army has said these are limited range, these are targeted, they don't plan to push that far into lebanese territory. but this is the 1st day

of face to face come back between has bullfighters and these really military. and there are significant losses by these really army. the army is also releasing a lot of other details into 2 separate incidents that killed those 8 is really soldiers. they say that they had eliminated at least 20 has bullfighters. but there has been no proof or claims to, to back up those claims rather. and there's also been no sort of announcement from his bottle on that and with any losses. there was a lot of apprehension within the as really security establishment about what is really forces we're going to face on the ground. while they do have a lot of power from the air in the form of air strikes, jerome strikes and surveillance. they do not have that same kind of power on the ground, and we're seeing this play out in real time that even though the army has said these are just limited rates. it's still an invasion into 11 these territory into several different his belo strongholds were now the army is realizing what they're off against. thank you very much and this will hurt in a non well,

it's an emergency united nations security council meeting viewing is extra general said the situation must be the escalated in the region for the sake of the civilian populations. civilians are paying a terrible price which i accidentally condemn you and as will be lies, all its capacity is to provide urgency, many teddy and $8011.00. and i asked the international community to fully funds, how would it be? sees of the aides is well, it's excellent. isabel left killed, 49 people with over 60000 people displays from their homes. it is absolutely essential to avoid them all out. what in lab of them, which would have for phones and devastating consequences and wrongs ambassador to the united nations criticized israel's escalating attacks,

saying it's been acting without restraint. the vision is pushing the region to the age of an all out on policy then says, catastrophe is why it has no intention to post bring peace or a ceasefire. so typically the un security policy that has remained for the lies due to the united, the stays of suction of an effective decision by dis, spotty. that's broken out as there is gabriel alexander. who is it, you are the headquarters in new york for us and the game has been listening to a number of firey and passionate speeches. what is really a critical moment for this region? give us some of the highlights from the past few hours or yeah, there are quite a few actually this marathon emergency security council meeting went on for almost 3 hours. it has just finished and the last half hour or so. we heard from 22

different countries, including all 15 security council members. there's a lot to take in here, but i think the over arching a theme, if you will, is number one, the escalation. but we've heard that before for many weeks and months, quite frankly. but especially in the last few days, but i think also a focus on how there needs to be a ceasefire in lebanon. and we've been hearing about that for guys for many months now. but really the focus now as well as guys is concurrently trying to bring it into hostilities in 11 on because of, as you heard from the secretary general, they're the incredible humanitarian tool that is now taking on lebanon and people that are having to flee lebanon for their own safety. so i think that's number one . i think number 2, there's also a call to enforce if you will, un security council resolution 17 o one from 2006. that is of course the resolution that called for this buffer zone

. if you will, between israel and has bowler, it's been violated many, many times over the years. but i think now it's at a very critical moment and we heard many member states talking about how they really need to reinvigorate if you will. 17 o one, hold all parties to account even the liberties deputy ambassador to the un said the to 11 on is willing to, to, to revisit $17.00 oh, $1.00, even send lebanese army soldiers south of the tiny river to help and force that well, this is going to be a question for the coming days, really. but clearly there is a consensus here that something needs to be done and done urgently before this escalates even further. okay, thank you again for others on the united nations as well. so i had for you on the program, has been a another sorry dissolves to in nigeria. this is raising questions about the safety

measures governing the waterways, the the, the mean come in as an international inside corruption, excellence award, nominator hero. now, since its inception, in 1961,

the great fund has been supporting people's livelihoods and over 100 countries, by funding projects in an array of sectors ranging from infrastructure to health and education. these initiatives ultimately help to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable development. in the the watching out as they are life from dawn, a main stories. now, he is ready. all me is confirm the age of its offices and soldiers have been killed in confrontations. what has been law fights has on the board with lebanon as belies

saying that is rainy truths of trying to infiltrate the southern 11 east town of all day stuff. but the group says that it's fine as a managed to, with how these rating move. meanwhile, the united nation sector, general internal guitar says renewed his coal for an immediate cease fire and gaza . he also won that the war and 11 and could lead to a further escalation. baterri is that it was time to start. what do you call the deadly cycle of tit for tat vine? and in the mid least, iran present muscle has possession gallon has been meeting with the mayor of catalina's scheduled visit to the gulf states. it comes a day of dive time around 5 ninty, $200.00 missiles at minot tree and security targets in israel. iran swan ministry saying that it considers the operation completed in the past year. accounts are, has been mediating si fi talks between israel and the mice. will be iranian present, spoke just a short while ago in doha,

before using the same as movie the security of the region is the security of, o, arab, and muslim country we have not wishing fit any will in each and every speech i've made. i've always stated we, i was looking for peace and calm. israel is forcing us to respond to react to the jag and these. and so he said he is a writer and specialist in iranian affairs. he joins us from ty wrong. what did you make of the remarks that we had from the iranian president messed with possession young's rule? so hearing earlier from the on by so to the united nations. and he seemed to emphasize that the iranian strikes on israel very targeted at military and security installations and the iran is keen to drawer line. and we can refer to israel clearly by the statement. but it's something that is also interesting and disregard is sort of double edged statements that we are hearing from the rainy and president,

uranian. let's say other officials talking about the fact that you wrong is not it for longer. iran is looking for peace, but at the same time there is a full fledged readiness for any scenario is iran is at the same time, not afraid of the war. okay, so he to us and he thank you very much for bringing us a latest from tat ron. while us state department is briefing the media about the situation on the israel lebanon for don't let just into this by the conflicts between israel and has blog. it's that come off is again, refused to engage. i went through some of the some of this yesterday. i'm happy to go through it again. this really pre dates, the events in the past of the past week 10 days were you seeing is relaunching a tax on increase and tax on as well. it goes back several weeks where we were at this point where we were trying to get together a next proposal that we,

along with the other mediators, egypt cutter would present to the 2 parties. and in preparing for that step, we're doing various soundings of what might be agreeable, trying to come do what play the role the mediator come up with a response that would get to us on both sides. and a mouse has refused to engage. so it's not from a lack of interest on our part's not from lack of focus on our part. but when you have, when you're trying to get to, when you're trying to put together a deals, you have to have the parties themselves engaging over the last 2 weeks from us has been unwilling, for whatever reason to engage. so good as you can see it as i see you. right? yeah. well i will wait. i'm sorry. the just the balance of the israel is still they don't have as many troops and cars are at the mainland, given their nathan of lot of troops up know they are still doing the operations in gaza. can you give us any, any kind of update on what their next steps are in gauze or in terms of like

any kind of transition phase? is there anything that they like in terms of what the plan is if they're on new applications as a mass that this a lot of this is on the rocks, but any kind of yeah, no, the us this type of thing, i think they should speak for what their next plans are, obviously we have been clear about what we believe as the post conflict periods should look like in gaza. but when it comes to what israel's plans are, it's something that they should speak to. okay. and on lebanon, you mentioned yesterday a, the number of americans who has registered with the us embassy to get information in case they should want to be. um, do you have an update on numbers and any update on any us assistance for helping those americans to leave? yeah, so there are now around 7000 people who have contacted us. not all of those are looking for assistance sleep, but we ask people to register with us for more information, and then we provide them information. some of those, i presume,

will eventually look to depart lebanon, and some of them will want to stay. but why don't you know if they make their plans may change over time, their interest may change over the overtime. that's the, the number of people who have registered with us in terms of the us helping people leave the country for it. so for the past several days we have been working in the past really going back at september 28th. we have been working to make seats available or to find seats available on existing commercial flights. we have been able to, to identify over 800 seats over that time, a number that have been used by american citizens in all case, not in all cases have. they've been filled. and then today we were able to organize a flight from a route to s danville to allow other american citizens to leave. it's been a priority for us to enhance the capacity of flights. and now the regions that we've contracted with additional care to care carriers to facilitate the transport of american citizens. there was a flight that left a couple of hours ago from a route and had a capacity of 300 had um, somewhere a little over

a 100 american citizens and their family members who did part on it. okay, thank you. and just one final question. as being reports of an american citizen killed in lebanon, can you give us any, we have seen those reports. it's our understanding that it was a legal, permanent resident, not an american citizen. uh, but we obviously offer our sincere is condolences to the family on their last leg. yeah. excuse me for more of a big route. yeah, i will just one flight today just one flight today and and i should address timble to. yeah, just add me just add for context. we do hope to organize additional flights in the coming days. depending on demand, there is demand for those flights. we hope to organize additional flights. i will be able to, to announce some advance because oftentimes you understand, of course, how difficult the situation is and the times that we'll hope to have flights and won't be able to get them in or out for whatever reason. but i will be, i'll be able to, after they have occurred, come here and talk. okay. and then you said since september 28th,

you better so secure about a 100 seats on existing flights, not a contract, correct? it's just likewise, right. but you don't have any idea how many people actually took advantage of. i know i can try to follow up after the briefing and see if i those are, those are all those 800 shawn 100 seats that you had secured were on the lease or line, correct? it's the only commercial carriers. right. so we've just been listening to the state department briefing there about the recent situation on the israel 11 and border. of course, i've been battles between has bullfighters and his writing. trips in the south of the country they have been intensified, is riley army has confirmed that at least 8 soldiers were killed in combat so far. but is there any officials have also vowed to respond off to iran fi to a barrage of ballistic missiles at key military and security targets inside is room . this has res, fears of a 5 escalation and the regional coverage continues in 25 minutes time. and then use our, the
