1:00 pm
the, the limit to how far the dream contains sta in your own adventure. now, counter and wayne the, [000:00:00;00] the hello i'm about to somebody says, news on life until i'm coming up in the next 60 minutes. a defiant speech as well as talking to the says more is really, is, will be displaced as a promise is to increase the tax across the lebanese border. as, as israel prepares to expand its button defensive, across something level known, it's called a reserved division for the 1st time. there's been another nice of intense bombing in the capital. they moved as israel 6 to destroy. it has the ball has come under
1:01 pm
control. and more air strikes of tape gas up as a warrant. there enters a 2nd here at least 25 policy means a cube in refugee camps. the, the deputy secretary, general lopez of all on cost them has delivered his 2nd address since the assassination of the groups, the, the house. and that's what on the he said of israel's brandon version of lebanon, says not only do the groups, military capabilities remain in tax, but they're already fighting back of being done. nathaniel, on any of the enemy is lying about what is happening on the 11 on his ro border. i will say that our capabilities are fine. our fighters on the frontline are solid and you can see the effect by what's happened over the past 10 days. when the disparities are experiencing an increasing amount of pain, because of our operations, our fighters are the sons of house and the solemn,
1:02 pm
maybe during nothing but the sons of house on a solemn good. yeah, i'm going to go to st. ahold of who's in the lebanese capital for so what else is known for sending things in the? well, this is a war about who cries 1st and we will not cried. those were the words of, as well as deputy secretary general name, ask them in his 2nd recorded speech since the assassination of hezbollah, as leader has done this for all of which really was a major blow to the organization. he seemed more confident, even his body like a but as you can imagine, when he 1st appeared, it was just a few days after and us throw this stuff in after the group face the series series of setbacks. so now he believes, or the way he's projecting this is that the group isn't a better position. it's has the ability to create leverage because it has lost the parents. it's message is that we will be able to create this leverage because of as
1:03 pm
well as the decision to, you know, the critic in vague level, not really this ground incursion. what he is saying is that in 7 days of fighting, the israeli army has not been able to make any advance. and that's as well as fighters are still on the ground. they will not abandon their weapons and that they will fight them. they will, they will persist. so he really believes that this really could change the balance of power. and that's not true. that has the bullet has been emboldened by the decision of the around me and government to launch missiles of israel last week. they believe that the round is standing behind them so so they feel. 2 in a better position, but no doubt of israel with it's really lenses the air campaign. this is not going to be easy for them, but to, to really show their capabilities. just moments after he finished his speech, a rocket garage was fired across the board, or hitting haifa, israel's 3rd largest city. it was the biggest attack yet. so the message from hezbollah is we will fight. we are not going to surrender. but at the same time, showing some flexibility,
1:04 pm
we did not hear him say that we will hold firing unless israel's war on garza ends . so is hezbollah d linking these to friends? he did so have support the font behind the efforts of the speaker a part of it to be. but me was a main ally of hezbollah and berries initiative really is about a ceasefire. and the implementation of 1701. do you and resolution, which means as well that needs to pull back from the border and the lebanese army moves it. so it seems this is something hezbollah will accept, but what he made very, very clear is that hezbollah will not this far. this is not on the table as part of any solution to end this war. all the while there doesn't appear to be any window for diplomacy. is really military has carried out the extensive airstrikes across southern lebanon. as israel ordered people of more than 100 towns to leave,
1:05 pm
it appears to be reducing and probing hezbollah as defenses as it prepares to expand its ground incursion. troops have moved into some areas, but hezbollah is still along the border and is still fighting. israel has declared a 60 kilometers stretch of lebanon's coast cells of the city of site in a closed military zone. air raids are targeting what israel says are, has the last command and control structures as well as its fighting capabilities. however, it hasn't stopped the group from sending massages across the border at times reaching the great their television area. it's also attack the 3rd largest city, hateful, but as well as air campaign. now in its 3rd week is relentless and expanding. parts of baby with southern suburb are now leveled. there are similar scenes in the south and east of lebanon, where hezbollah has a presence. these really military says it is changing its security reality across the board and has the backing of its main ally. united states were supportive of
1:06 pm
them targeting has blood but a but of course we expect them to target as blood in a way that complies with international humanitarian law and then lives of civilian casualties. civilians are being killed in what is being described as the most destructive war. yes. between the long time enemies. united nations also criticize the targeting of rescue and medical workers who are protected under international humanitarian law. in a few days, france will host and international conference and support of lebanon, and it's people, i think, to talk to them some plans, like critic keys, no point of visit with our partners. we are ready to work collectively for the escalation and peace in the region in loveland on the violence threatens to punch a very fragile country to our last in chaos, federal threatening israel security even more than today has bullet bears. i have a responsibility for this situation, having drag lepper nodding to a war, it did not choose. a speaking in israel, the french foreign minister made no mention of a proposal. it presented along with the united states for
1:07 pm
a $21.00 day truce to allow for broader negotiations. but he did speak of the need to support the lebanese army and reactivate state institutions. and 11 on 11 o as prime minister says, not the one country that supported a propos 21 day. truth is trying to revive it's 11 on governments into a certain extent has the law had accepted it, but as rel rejected it, and the feeling among officials close to has the law is that the western nations and its allies and 11 on are trying to take advantage of the groups perceived weakness after it's lost much of its military and political leadership as. 2 as its infrastructure, they sent a message of their own has the law will not be this armed, at least not under fire, but they are offering as a ceasefire. the implementation of human resolution, $1701.00, which would see a strengthening of the lebanese armies presence along the border. the war has engulfed a broken nation, is people have little choice,
1:08 pm
but to wait for either side to have enough leverage for negotiations to begin. then for their, i was just the, the basic concept assessed by in southern lebanon for us in run just shortly after that speech was made by and then costs. and we're getting reports that walk is, were 5 that'd be, is really close to the city of high fi, talk to us about the latest fighting or 85. ok. so 5 from lebanese territory into high for one of the largest attacks on the high 5. so fall, so very much a message from has the law. now, these rarely say the, the is the 1st time the rivers of a brigade has now started fighting in localized unlimited raids on lebanese territory. the 100 and 46th division they say is now in various parts of the 120 kilometers, sometimes contested. but i'm not totally as with what we're hearing, we're hearing that the are about 5 chug points,
1:09 pm
entry points for these read these check points for his book along the board of where at fighting is taking place. even though we sold those, his blood rock is coming in to the grades at tel aviv area throughout the nights as well as kept toby's rocket by roses on groups of he's ready to use. so just staging on each side on this side rather of the northern israel border. so very much a message from as below that they all able to spill 5 missiles and rockets. but these ready air strikes still continue drawing strikes to continue overnight in the area that i'm in lots of lots of intense. i'll tend to reach out like an sporadic as strikes android strikes. yeah, we're seeing um in the, on just pictures off one of the agencies of the moment, the black smoke competing above the skyline of what appears to be southern bay route. i think that is fairly close to where the airport is at and they were issuing more warnings for 11 and declaring upon the 60 kilometers of lebanon's coastline. not
1:10 pm
a military is on. tell us more about that. a well side on his way that many trees are and a has been declared. now the wording is interesting here because that using the wording militaries are now, that's the wording they use in northern israel and in southern israel and goes are they declare is ready to erect street a closed military zone. so no one can get in or out. but they can't do that, have, this is not that territory then. then they have an attic, sit on. so this is a, they block, you ation order. plus, perhaps we try to figure out what that is really wording actually means it may, will just be an evacuation order. and if it is, that's got a different class type. i mean, you displacement crisis here in lebanon to add it to the root, the 1000000. know so people the already a move in on thank you very much. indeed. as saying all con, talking to us from across by
1:11 pm
a around this for the minutes of us. i like she is set to begin a diplomatic mission across the middle east, starting with saudi arabia. on tuesday, the trip aims to address the regional issues and seek ways to hold israel's assault on garza and 11 on the emission model. or how long had it in federal we have repeatedly state inside. iran does not seek to escalate tension or engage and to be less. and although we are not afraid of what we are fully prepared in every way they want to test our results. as i mentioned here, they are welcome to do so. we are ready for any scenario for any situation. our armed forces are a complete readiness at 100 percent. they have identified won't necessarily project it on the left, so it's not as lifeless and intact crime not in the state of games. if there's this toward these during this visit to various countries seem fairly obvious, but what is the aim of going to saudi arabia? well, on friday, unless friday, when you're on supreme leader or there's somebody,
1:12 pm
it was leading a public sermon. so he simply said that to our enemies one, and that is israel. so to stop is ready aggressions. he has called for a regional cooperation. so 2 days with it off the reading and for the minister at a bus that actually is being seen as a part of these are for trying to and a has to regional cooperation. and secondly, so the allergy is quite an important matter now considering the fact that almost 40 percent of the global energy supply is just happening 2 different on this region. so keeping this the mat global matter of time and energy security is essentials seen that actually is wizard to saudi arabia. first trying to ensure that in case of a direct community, the confrontation between israel and your ron. none of the american military bases in the gulf states are not going to be use a gas to go on and return your on, given the guarantees the gulf states that neither iran, nor is proxies are going to target the oil and gas facilities across the gulf.
1:13 pm
states around has repeatedly said that it doesn't want to have a war, but it is ready for war. if israel attacks, do we have any indication what a runs response could be if that happens. and when you talk to the writing, the officials, me to draw officials and explain it to me. this was admitted to the strategy. they said that in apple, when you're wrong, a 5 year to the nearly $300.00 thrones to israel as a television to is ready to attack on you run an embassy in damascus. the aim was not the to maximize the kidding, but the reason that they have some just basic thrones on israel was to work on a mapping of the is ready to a or the 5 system. i'm done on october 1st, when you want to fly or nearly 200 by mistake and hypersonic. miss ives, one is right, them as of attenuation, or if the, the destination office might nadia as well as technically the general has on us are lots news are seeing that they have shown these values. that all new styles 10 have
1:14 pm
leads to is very territory and indeed penetrate into is read 8 of the file system. and now the seeing that there are the plans that have worked on a detailed plans. if israel attach one you want, they're going to go even further using more ads as weapon res, me, styles, and they're not going to going to target is ready, am, says, is adding me to, to the basis. but if necessity is riley oil and gas reserves as well, i'm, you're right, you're seeing that this is going to have the dive lead to the stadium. consequences for israel. that's what's out on tax on russell. thank you. of the as long as the wave of air strikes and gauze as the warrant as a 2nd year is where the forces killed at least $25.00 published. and he is in the central gaza. and the latest assault targeting the over asian elements center

1:16 pm
has every now and then during the past few hours. and what we do notice so far is that these houses were heavily, densely populated, said impact with civilian. so have to know what to call a line to a very recent is really evaluation order is being passed to do is a innocent civilian. apparently there is, there has been moved, probing, minute tweet activity by that is where the army i can hear right now. i throwed up a huge that has been actively, whole ringing a very low and slow. i was choosing the cost it all it to be more specific. and at the same time, the attacks and the fight thing. a awesome rate in the, in the most of the districts, we how most flights is on the east, but it'll keep patient forces. what we do know so far. now the attacks off unfolding the facility of come on at one hospital, but people have been slightly moving from the valley up to the western side of the city. by spite this, they have been attacked by these by the army. people have been painted on shore quite easily. snipers, as they were trying to push the road to reach to the beach off because as the trip
1:17 pm
mainly these confrontations, awesome ranging and the moving fee is that a gauze. nova pods remaining hospitals might become out of service due to the continuation of the study for abutment in such areas. and we need to remind all of us that the value of risk which account has been invited twice by the spend a minute 3. and this is the 3rd time that confirmation is all taking place. the comment was there and then about that topic. thank you very much. i as well one year was rendered. guys are pretty much unrecognizable. relentless is really been bothering so blitzer base of the infrastructure needed to provide the basic necessities of life without a hitch and takes a look at the trail of destruction. these really medicines left behind and garza, the more than 85000 tons of explosives,
1:18 pm
destroying more than 75 percent of buildings across the gaza strip. israel's attacks have not spared any of the 36 hospitals across the strip, despite their protection under international humanitarian law. 84 percent of health facilities have been damaged or destroyed according to you and report. school buildings have not been spared with around 90. 3 percent, either destroyed or damage translates to most of causes. 560 educational facilities struck in his really attacks more than 600 mos subbing fully or partially destroyed all 3 churches. and guys that have been damaged as well. some of these religious sites are historical, dating back centuries, access to clean water and sanitation have been crippled with 67 percent of that infrastructure destroyed, leaving because of vulnerable to disease outbreaks in gaza, city all the salad nation plants have been damaged,
1:19 pm
entire cities across the strip heavy levels. this is bead honeymoon in the north with nearly all of its residents forced out and its structures flattened and anti residential blocks as well. this isn't a lot. yeah. where many farmers live residential towers and crops completely destroyed. bombs and bulldozers have turned 68 percent of roads into gravel and rubble, according to satellites assessments. that's made a deliveries near impossible and us drug gaza unrecognizable to its people. as soon as warrant guys are taking a heavy toll on aid organizations, it's attacks of killed $200.00. i'm 22 united nations 8 workers. that's the most killed in a single conflict. since the establishment of the un gabrielle alexander has this report from the united nations. for decades, the united nations relief and work agency proposed any refugees known as unreal is
1:20 pm
provided social services for more than 2000000 people in guys a with a staff of around 13000 and guys, mostly local palestinians. they are doctors, nurses, teachers, that a terry ins. but shortly after the october 7th attacks, israel made it clear. it's hor on guys. a would also be a war on unreal israel cannot and will not allow us to continue in gaza as it did in the past. israel launched a systematic this information campaign, trying to discredit unwrapped and accused some of its staff members of participating in the october 7th attacks a months long un internal investigation ultimately concluded that 9 staff members may have taken part. all of them were fired. israel also accused unrra of systematic bias, but a un commissioned independent review, mostly exonerated on rough from those charges or the but the damage was done for
1:21 pm
the kaiser and unreal. the united states and several other countries had already suspended funding to unrest under what remains under attack. as the baseless and shameless total resume charge against a un humanitarian agency are no longer at talking point. but a license to kids. and that's exactly what happened. 222 unrest staff had been killed by israel in the past year. $140.00 under the run schools turned into shelters have also been attacked by israel. the relentless unrest commissioner general says israel's attacks on the organizations won't have more sinister undercurrents. the aim 1st, it's tripping 1st and then from the river to state you. but secondly on so the,
1:22 pm
in the weakening of putting an end to the expiration of the 1st thing and for some fun determination in recent months is a genocide. and guys, it continues is become clear, the majority of the world rejects israel's claims against under a lot of 60 general administrative level meetings during the un general assembly. last month, the new york countries rally around the u. n. organization, the indispensable it to have underway. some of the questions nor come to thought that under law cannot be replaced for doing that is questioning the right or palestinian children to food, to shelter dictation, and to hold israel's campaign against. under his words, we failed year into the genocide. the agency remains un says there are no plans to a bad these guys gabriel's on to, i'll just eat
1:23 pm
a united nations your. the we're going to bring in the city implies that he is the commissioner general of human agency for policies on refugees, on what he's joining us from. i'm on that, so thank you very much indeed for being with us. how would you describe the difference between the, on well as it is now, and what on role was like before the war on gods have begun? while before the war was an agency which was investing into human development of the person with the cell phone, one wireless or really lifeline, or the transfer of the cheese in getting gaza. we had about 300000 girls and boys. so you know, school, we were providing education at the primary level. obviously all 3 level. we had book ational training. we were offering job opportunity to a number offer artist again, basically the agency was a glimpse of hope for the part is to in today we are now, you know, you know,
1:24 pm
live saving mode or we are trying to add that to the so catastrophe we how did the before on how, how guys has been a slot to down into a rebel. it has to be in a, basically, a wall off of the arctics, tend to know most people will have be not killed. but in general, the tucked into walk on to gas has become a gravy out inside the cold. but this to me and in the general. and we also how'd that to today. people have nothing else to the struggle to stay alive. the, the struggle against diseases upon the date is trying to find some fold when we're hearing and get uh, amazon is reported by the allegations that were made by israel against some on will stuff on, on itself. what kind of impact has not had on the organizations world wide image of what he does, the huge reputation of the fulton the play,
1:25 pm
the agency has taken both measure from the want an investigation has taken place. us conclude that we have those would review of our own our internal management system which concluded that we are more robust than any other agency in the region. and basically shows that the agency is capable to deal with the trinity issues at the end. reality of the attack on the agency, how private, really important to him, what you bid, in terms of the money that on what needs to raise in order to be able to operate again. how much of these allegations have an impact on that? is there, is it a change in the willingness of countries around the world to supply money to on? well, there is definitely a change to doing this needs to be constant. the reassuring and i think of the seriousness of what to implement the recommendation of a good review of the theme is caught soon coming up report of the former municipal
1:26 pm
funding over funds of the service of implementing decent major, as also helped the donor to reinforce the confidence in the agency to date there was only one country which has suspended unfrozen against contribution to the agency. we mentioned before, the 222 united nations start 8 workers have been killed and of course onward relies heavily on local stuff with local knowledge and local contacts to be able to operate. how difficult is it now given the circumstances on what has found itself, not just of course, in gaza, but also in the occupied westbank. and now course looking northwards to level known as well. how difficult is it for, on what to recruit people with that very vital local knowledge so so, so for the inside the, the also what stuff killed the ease for the 226 and there is no
1:27 pm
b without an increase of stuff of being shield this is a side of the reality. now, it is also true that out stuff center same the light destiny. then the rest of the proposition was trends of the organization. the all stuff come from the community we are assisting on protecting. and this is one of the reasons why, despite the the extraordinary dangerous environment, despite the fact that that stuff premises operations. how being the target that we seem to be able to continue to provide the live saving assistance to the community . and israel seems determined to have the sidelines on why or have it shut down altogether if on what didn't exist, if it's simply stopped tomorrow. what kind of effect do you think that would have in the lives of palestinians not only in gaza but in other parts of the region as well? would it wouldn't be a to, to disaster a true to the 1st communion,
1:28 pm
to sacrifice offer 1000000 shipment below the age of 18 in together street. but denying them education in the future of the so would self and the so to see to for more resentment on extreme mission. but politically. so it would also mean that the deed for is 12 get rid of an organization like ours in this region. that means any, all the country anywhere else in the world could do the same. we sent you an agency and i believe this would open the door. it's apparent dentures. i didn't do it further. we can, how common i would say move to that true instrument that we need to re dated after model to finish, as long as that we appreciate you being with us on how to 0. so thank you very much indeed a start ahead and i'll just say that we're going to reveal is a systematic destruction of palestinian agriculture. what does it mean? does it amount to wall crime plus oh my god, did you hear that?
1:29 pm
so that was the moment that i felt really worried and very concerned about the safety and the life of my family waiting for them to join with struggling family work on to bring the story of god. so the world, the, the latest news as it breaks, we just heard the strikes very close to the school where the display, people are seeking shelter. you can see and the distance with detailed coverage is not just sitting in front of you stuck up crossing. we've also spoken to lebanese families for leaving the country from the heart of the story. as road bombing campaign shows, no sign of doubts has below and needs to be cool and decide on how to offense, the killing of exceeded as the world economy. those strikes are those with
1:30 pm
a strong result. indonesia is where such resolve about the right place for your business to get off the race. otherwise, with the strategic downstream industry on the clock. in the news, your better tomorrow the the, [000:00:00;00] the sports, you know, just need a reminder of our top stories besides the deputy secretary general of hezbollah. 9 custom has delivered to 2nd address. since the assassination of the groups, the, the house and the sonata, he said no, physicians are vacant and confirmed that all roles of the field else has spoken is
1:31 pm
drawn to invasion of 11 on, as well as military capabilities remain intact. as follows 5 more than 80 rockets from 11, i'm heading the for the city of hyphen israel is really, i mean he says it's the largest of office thought us ever to talk specifically is reading strikes of killed at least 2500 experience in central guys including 5 children and 2 women, and they all by asian almost said that's a refugee some environmental activists have described israel's devastating war and gaza as equal side. the time refers to the devastation and destruction of the in bottom to the detriment of life. it was 1st use during the vietnam war. a group of scientists was concerned by the us government's use of a toxic habits that called agent orange, declare for us to provide a vehicle on fighters with cover and food. while the international criminal court can prosecute environmental crimes, if never has several nations have been pushing for equal side to have its own war
1:32 pm
crimes category. because a government media office says israel's dropped 85000 tons of explosives you're in estimates is damaged or completely destroyed. more than 75 percent of buildings and the military pollution contamination of the soil water and the air is going to take years to clean up. a more than half of the farm landing gauze has been destroyed and is where the attacks is really military is importantly pumping sea water into the underground network of tunnels used by palestinian fighters. and i could also cause long term damage to the strips. only fresh water supply, underground aquifers, unmake agricultural land, byron, for decades. well before the walgreens, a had a functioning agricultural sector, despite the is rarely located in 2022. it's farmers exports and projects worth more than $16000000.00. but that changed over the past year when israel ways war and not only on the people of garza,
1:33 pm
but also on it's agricultural lands and ecosystems unimed bottom and added to a nic clock. as this report, the harvests helped to use the grip of years of israel blockade the crux of strawberries and yields of sweet potatoes and televisions. there were tomatoes, grown in the green houses of gauze and groves of dates and olive trees. and then now crops raised orchards up, reaching green houses destroyed, or the bottoms didn't wipe out all the bulldozers did. agriculture land has been pleasing with heavy metals for munitions of times have compacted soil making areas impossible to form, hold on. most of them go on to the cabin with a cabinet this vegetable nursery was fully functional before the use rarely attacks
1:34 pm
. it's now completely destroyed by incendiary bombs. we lost all our tools and equipment and all the vegetables evenings we had grown. so satellite images analyzed by out, is there a show that well over 60 percent of goals as farm land has been damaged or destroyed by these radio tax? this is basically here in june 2023. it's an area famous for it strawberries. and as you can see, the fields, the green and full approaches, but spin on 11 months and the criss crossed by vehicle tracks devoid of any produce. this is a to the game, the fields, the green, 11 months on. all the greenery has vanished. the air is polluted with dust and asbestos from destroyed buildings. according to a preliminary investigation by the you ends environmental program,
1:35 pm
israel has generate today but 139000000 tons of debris in garza. much of it contaminated with unexplained ordinance and other hazardous substances. the minute the reaction so far has nearly destroyed most of the environment as we know it to serve our group go through areas have been discharged by mutari operations by attract people mom beings and over 45 percent on green houses and 50 percent or better cultural bells have been distorted, so it means like there's substantially damage to the environment, or people and gas aren't depending on rubbish. collection has stopped. so it just made its way into the streets, the 10th and the sea poisoning ecosystems making fish unsafe to eat at a time when the strip faces from it with fresh water contaminated in many wells, destroyed the palestinians ability to draw deep from an in nate's resilience. is
1:36 pm
being eroded by yeah, of relentless is randy. assault may clock out as they're going to bring in cape macintoshes, executive director of the u. c. l, a law promise institute in europe to specialize in human rights. he's joining us from i'm so that and thank you very much indeed for being with us for people who don't know guys, it might come as a surprise that it had such a strong agricultural industry. why do you think it was such a significant target for the israel's ministry? well, i agree exactly for that reason. and i think we've seen this kind of destruction and it's being reported actually more than it has been in previous contacts. because of all right, and your wellness of the non 10 significance of environmental destruction. so i think you, you report that did an excellent job of talking about the scale of destruction. what we're understanding now, which is being maybe 100 postage and not the conflicts,
1:37 pm
is the way this has the potential to really undermine any kind of sustain recovery after the conflict is that if i want to ask about the legal side of this, why it is what's known as the cosign not regarded as a crime or against humanity or prosecuted as such when it clearly affects so many people a yeah, that's a great question. um, i mean as, as you were aware and i see mentioned diety, that has been a proposal. now to add the comment e k side to the statute of the international criminal court. that stuff happens. it was proposed by a number of pacific on and states bundle out to some to fiji, but it doesn't currently exist in the statutes. and i think uh the reasons for this a really on the lack of appreciation of the inter relatedness between our environment and ourselves. which is, is no longer the case. i mean, as we proceed into destroying our environment, in general, the understanding that wherever these crime because it's
1:38 pm
a crime against all of us and that will she be an international crime, will crime against humanity i see put to it is becoming more and more and more widespread, and i mentioned before the, to the international criminal court kind of finally prosecute environmental crimes . but it, it never has one of the restrictions to it during that. why is there have those cases not being broad, given the fact that we've seen a levels of devastation during conflicts, of course, not just thing guys and but in other conflicts and was around the world in previous years to let you all assist to that question. actually traditionally or yeah, uh, usually the answer is that the specials is very high in the way the environmental damage in real time is prohibited in the statute of the quote. but actually i think the re, alonza is lack of imagination because in fact the environment is protected in conflict quite substantially. i mean, special committee for the red cross, for example, who's been doing what to try and raise awareness about this. but the current process, the key to of the international criminal court is paying attention to this. and
1:39 pm
he's actually working now on a policy and to guide his prosecution of environmental crimes onto the existing rules on the statute. so that reasonable that surveys little unto which the contests will crimes we seen in casa against the environment can be prosecuted. and the prosecution at the international criminal court is signaling that he is willing to stop putting that into practice. kate mcintosh, we appreciate you being with us, and i'll just see i'm, i'm thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. as i was wondering, guys as being the deadline is conflict in recent memory for journalists. the international federation of journalist says the mortality rate is more than 10 percent is really attacks of killed a $170.00 for media workers. and guys, in the past year or con, has this report and these best stuff to protect and clearly identify john list yet . there's also the little protection for palestinian journalists, who risk their lives to reports. and israel's relentless bombing has gone back into
1:40 pm
gauze. do you know anything on the 1st day of the war? october the 7th. this happened. a bomb went off near. i wanted to report a unit of saw you had a she reported live in gauze, the city, and the building behind her home to several media institutions. it was a sign of things to come. just 2 days later, this would become the final pro, costs from john list site until we sent the board, has had a boat as reduced the bus. if i got the, the editor in chief of the news website, along with 2 of the john mas, stood at a safe distance from a building, israel boned, it would boom. instead, it struck a building nearby, killing all 3. while international media has only been allowed in which he is ready only under heavy censorship. jonathan jones,
1:41 pm
i think pivotal documenting exposing possible his ready war crimes and the suffering of posting and for somebody to have them again among them is i'll just say or is full because your chief was a do who continued in his pursuit to report to move or even after his wife, teenage son, 7 year old daughter, and his grandson were killed in an as strike in mid december, he and out of the or a camera, then some of the cost will, quote, is a strike. well, fielding as a school. well, i would talk to was wounded, a still under heavy fire, a network of human rights groups and john was pressured as well to let them rescue him. arriving 6 and a half hours later, it was too late. i would have liked to death. doctor was injured in the same strike. less than a month later doctor's oldest son, holmes, of travel to southern garza to document the optimal openness rady attack but never returned. a direct strike in his vehicle killed him in his colleague. most of us
1:42 pm
were, i was a doctor page tributes to his 27 year old son. you know from much of the war, i'll just say we're corresponding is man a go with reporting from northern golf. he and his cameraman, romeo refuge directly targeted in this rate of striking his car. both were wearing press fests. these are just some stories of drug misuse set out to tell the truth about israel school. acosta. and these are the names of all of a jan was killed while doing so. those who died in the 1st few months of israel's war and gods, a made up 75 percent of old john was killed around the world in 2023 feet. the height of the clock on his left less definitely the heavy duty one last year. this reported to office press best off the learning of his colleagues that saying it also to the protection the high of the high ending goes. many people know that
1:43 pm
wearing a press fest can even make them a target. yet it's also come to symbolize the pursuit of truth in the face of death nor hung out to sara $10.00 and is the deputy general secretary of the international federation of john ross. he's joining us starting from london. thanks very much indeed for being with us so far a 170 for media workers in guys a killed in the past year. that's at least that number so far. of course that number will have been going off. what's your reaction to those numbers? a space beyond shocking, what's in that report really brings tears to my eyes just by having followed this story very closely. from the outset, the toll paid by journalist and gaza is something really that humanity has no prior experience of as your report to said, well over 10 percent of all journalist and gosh, i have lost our lives since this, this conference began at the usual mortality rates expect to the increase our
1:44 pm
address is less than 5 percent. the number of, of us marines who were killed in vietnam was less than 5 percent of those deployed . so we're talking about absolute exciting levels of loss of life. and i'm really perhaps even more remarkable them that trucks today is the so many journalist and garza has continued working have continued despite the extraordinary private extremes. they've suffered with the food lo shelton, the few. but they have continued to act as the eyes and it is of the world and broke out extraordinary and believing stories of the terrible, terrible destruction that's been worked on that community is when we're live with our crews and guys have particular we can, we can offer here is really reconnaissance jones flying overhead. we heard it would try to call those when we were talking to him from debt obama just a few minutes ago, these really minutes. he says it does not intentionally talk at all hom journalists . what's your reaction to that statement?
1:45 pm
as well. so we know that the is why the defense voice have some of the most sophisticated surveillance equipment in the world that are able to attract people from mobile phones with mind you precision. we know that they have some of the most precise jo, locating technology, allowing them to know where people, you know, the cause of movement, where they go at night and they're associated with. and we know that they have highly sophisticated, a high enhanced targeting equipment. this allows drones to deliver the desk to the street addresses pretty much in the way that amazon delivers books and compact discs. when you take hold of that technology and the extraordinary desco that has been visited upon journalist and gaza as well as the restrictive in cuz you know, could campaign against any kind of reporting from the end 5 is very hard not to conclude. these are the new protections, but i think what's most important now is for the international criminal court to
1:46 pm
intensify its investigation and really get to the bottom. because i think, you know, a more, a accusation supply about and hop cruise and much evidence is burned beneath the piles and piles are blown up concrete. what we need now is judicial examination of the evidence that the revised and, and the holding to account where that's necessary, of those who perpetrated ball crimes. if anybody else at any of the had of own was uh, was telling us just a few months ago was well, the $226.00. you and workers are not known to have died. of course medical crews have been targeted in these conflicts as well. do you think that the world has a different perception when it comes to the desk of journalists, as opposed to medical cruise, i need 8 workers to move these decks and goss. uh, you know, the best bulk of which, uh, a women and children, whatever that will keep patients. uh, actually to the tragic and of course, those occupations that put themselves in the way of home as,
1:47 pm
as medical staff do is relief staff do. is dentists do. i, i've perhaps it seems like a great to judge the the what medical stuff lives that lives because it affects the ability to provide health care within gaza. and that is vitally voc important to this point, which is fluids that lives. it stops tunnels of information from getting out of gauze. we. we know that great efforts have been made to keep international journalist from the enclave. we know that lots of, of, of, of those have been put in the way of free and fair reporting of what's happening in gaza. so i, you know, as well as the human tractor disappear and this losing a lot as well. simply trying to do that job. there is a tragedy for the, for the rest of the world that it's hard to for us to understand what's happening that the cruise, that's all happening on guys, a streets every day being kept from the world. so i, i won't, life is not great to or more important than another, but the impact on the,
1:48 pm
on the rest of humanity in our ability to know is great to engine looks. there's the lives $10.00 and these deputy general secretary of the international federation of journalist. so we appreciated all for the year. our reporters and guys have been working around the clock covering the latest developments. the grueling work is vital to keep the world informed about israel's actions in gaza. but the cabbage comes at a personal cost is all correspondence. how the model of i don't really know where to start. it's been a whole year and i don't even recall when did i take this off? the vist that i'm wearing? we're nights where i have to sleep with it. throughout the day i have to wear many hats. the via correspondence of taking care of news lines. at the same time between the reports to the heart of the father, the worries activating my family to safety. it was, it was
1:49 pm
a huge issue for me. though, bye, my son was from staying at home and wanted to be with me and i, i think i made a decision. it was quite risky, but i had just to offer him an alternative. i took him with me to the side of my work where it happened is just the 11 sided with an attack as we were speaking to a correspondent in gaza and is really a right targeted positions right behind here. we're getting into the, oh my god, did you hear that? my gosh. no, no, no, no, this is really bad. it is bad. the
1:50 pm
that was the movie that i felt really worried and very concerned about the safety and the life of my family. my only wish right now is this in the media because we can't afford to have another year. so i saw my days range of be a little bit normal just coming to my favorite here and alternative to the coffee shop that i used to go and gaza the now i feel like i'm the proper and the captain a 3rd. then i came to the vision and do my reports for at least coming for 56 hours . god knows, unless something happened, which i really don't want to see. i don't want to see any breaking news. i don't, i don't want to pay more people dying. i want to get this before where i can afford about these byron in to this madness. this is what i want the
1:51 pm
want to know. what is it? i'm reminder of our top story, is this the deputy secretary general of cosmopolitan. i'm fuss and has delivered his 2nd address since the assassination of the groups through the house on this products and spoken. israel's grand and vision of 11 on certain kinds of all those military capabilities remain intact is really strikes of chills, at least 25 percent of cities in central garza, including 5 children and to one of the elbows on, on new setup. refugee comes every single aspect of life in gaza is affected by israel's war, and sport is no different. the latest figures from the pont assigned football association show more than 400 athletes and sports officials have been killed. of those $313.00 were footballers including $87.00 children, is there any attacks have also destroyed more than 50 sports facilities and the stripping shooting stadiums. david stokes has this report, the cone eunice stadium is no longer used for football games,
1:52 pm
severely damaged. it's now a make shift refugee camp a clay assigned if the impact the israel is war on, garza has had on support his video as the systematically towards the thing. supports it across that to retrace at around 50 scores for settings that are being reduced to rumbling dosa. one is stadium remains intact, which is of the stadium in there to buy and associate. it has been turned into a shelter of thousands of displaced people. this war has been the deadliest and the most top brake and the most demolishing for costing these spots and garza. the majority of sports and infrastructure and gaza has been destroyed from large arenas to local gyms. these bodybuilders continue training among the daybreak. others use this gym which has been completely rebuilt outside using equipment. rescued from the rubble of honestly the court has yeah,
1:53 pm
i lost everything that we lost our families hugs. we also lost the future. we have no future, no life, nothing. can we come here to the gym just to release the angle? weightlifting mohammad. how about at last out on the place at the olympics, he injured himself carrying water for his family. i lost 20 kilos in weight due to poor nutrition at times 18 animal feet to survive. a palestinian athletes did make it to the powers games, most of them faced abroad or in the occupied westbank. where is really raids in check points, make it hard to practice. the 800 meter run at mohammed dwight uh, was forced to run on the rights of jericho, instead of a prophet track behaving or in the way in jersey participation as an achievement on a time when they announced palestine at the opening ceremony. the shopping to how they had a feeling that cannot be described $1.00 to $3.00 for all one, it's hard to comprehend how palace funds,
1:54 pm
next generation of olympians could possibly emerge. from this rule, the sport continues to endure even in the toughest of environment, whether it's focusing on wrestling or par, cool exercise, and physical activity offers up a little joy and hope in the most desperate times. they be stokes, and which is 0. despite the destruction and gaza policies national football team, it performs best as an ever in january. they reach the knockout stage of the asian shop for the 1st time. they're now into the 3rd round of qualifying for the world cup o without being able to play home games. we spoke to basil my study, the funder of football palestine dotcom of the team is managed to create history. i'll just do well inside the surface as the do better than they ever have done before. and they were putting in a group of rocca qualified that included australia living on and bangladesh, they finished in the top 2. they're now in the, in the final a group stage of qualifying in asia,
1:55 pm
amongst the 18 best teams. to do that with no football going on in the country with the emotional impact of players. families being stuck in under the bonds and gaza is, is an incredible achievement to get out of the group at the asian cup for the 1st time in their history is an incredible achievement. last month, this group of players went to a soul and got a point from south korea. one of the most incredible stories of this entire qualifying period is the goalkeeper of progress. somebody has been without a club since the war started. he has kept a clean sheet in 5 out of the 7 world cup qualifier as he's played in uh, the latest one being that 00 draw against south korea. and so i, he, he still doesn't have a club. and i think that's a very emblematic of his team's personality and their, and their resilience and the fact that, you know, there are change that there are players, excuse me, in this team that are and limbo, career wise. but for whatever reason they're able to come to national team can

1:57 pm
just like belgium box wouldn't be able to play in french football. we've been around to join crime you last week, so they're all totally kicks out on the basis of the learning tools. uh, so they're just asking si, fi to apply their own regulations, especially if it's right now because of also international court of justice, confirmation that it's almost like stations in fact that there is in the fall time to be in the implemented in the class. so the is the key, sorry, very cool. how country that was seen before was treated differently thought for days, either south africa, the have precedents of russia just recent to 2 and a half years ago. this was due to the invasion of the ukraine keeps out from the talk. i'm tired to nations for including football and that he has a know a country that these 3 a lot worse, including the stands that she was
