politicians are set to debate bills, but could bound the un agency for palestinian refugees from operating in israel, the un holds an emergency reading on some done after the pair military rapids support forces kill over a 100 people inches 0 states over the past. the we begin with developing news from southern lebanon, where there had been multiple is really airstrikes on the coastal city of tire is where the army had threatens people in large parts of the city to leave their homes immediately. or then risk being bombs, a place 7 people were killed in earlier is really a tax on tire. on monday, several others have been injured. let's bring into us and jabari joining us from a route so door. so a multiple, there strikes on multiple buildings, entire. tell us where you're here,

ring about the number of casualties and also how big were these are strikes while they're in the is riley military issued force evacuations. threats for an entire neighborhoods in this historic coastal city of tire uh, earlier on monday. and shortly after those threats were issued, the air strikes followed at least 7 uh, air strikes, uh, hits residential bills 8 and some of the along the coast line in the court east, as well as in the hearts of this city. now we have to remember that a tire is a, is historic town. it is home to a world unesco heritage sites. and it was once told to roughly about 65000 residents, most of whom have fled over the past few weeks. this is not the 1st attack that has been carried out by israel on the city. earlier on monday overnights,

there was an attack on ramo neighborhood residential buildings targeted. again, that's high without any warnings, killing at least 7 people. and last, wednesday, for the 1st time is well targeted, tire say that they were hitting what they described to be has the luck of and the control centers, as well as the head of the southern division of the elise, red won units of the art group. now this city is been home to the internally displaced lebanese that floods other parts of southern 11 on over the past few weeks. so yet again, they have been forced to evacuate ad there is, as we understand that at least a few 1000 internally displaced peoples that were taking shelter in the southern city of tire. that has come under attack yet again door. so i'm being told that there has been a strike in b roots in fact and is really strikes. so we're going to show the life picture for

right now, off that is a roots, the capital of 11 on where we can see smoke rising in the distance there because they, there are reports that there has been in, is really strike on the campus. so we'll find out exactly where and bring you that information by door. so i mean they routes and specifically the southern suburb of a root da here has also been repeatedly struck by israel over the course of the past couple of weeks of the that's right. the southern suburb of the capital bedrooms home one's home to about $700000.00 people is now a pretty much a ghost town. that is because since late september, israel has been targeting over and over again on a daily and nightly basis. what it says or has the law infrastructures and come out in the control centers as they are targeting civilian buildings within that area.

we've seen over and over again. the influx of people that have fled to the southern suburbs that we saw them take a refuge on the streets of the capital. so in the downtown area along the cornish, anywhere they could really. and so they could find other accommodations. so there's still people that haven't been able to find more long term shelter. and so this has been a, as a result of what israel says is, is attempt to. and basically we can as well as capabilities, meeting ad to reduce the attacks across border attacks that has realized was carried out on northern israel since october 8th of last year. but what it's done is now internally displaced, what nearly one and a half 1000000 lebanese 500000 of them are. children at about $900.00 schools across the country have been turned into temporary shelters, to try and accommodate those that are internally displaced. but the situation is really dire in terms of a humanitarian situation. the one says that the 11 on is on the edge of

a cliff about to fall off as a result of this crisis that has unfolded since israel launch is intensive air strikes across the country. in mid december. yeah. and many people will be wondering what the has been the wrong, the response will be to the bombing of tire as well as babies right now the door. so i will let you go for now. thank you so much for that reporting for the time being as well. israel's $24.00 days sage on northern garza continues, which has killed more than a 1000 palestinians. women and children accounts for the majority of those killed is really soldiers have been preventing the entry of life saving aid. while at the same time targeting and on boarding medical facilities and civilian shelters, air strikes in the shows all your neighborhood of gauze. a city killed at least 3 people on monday morning. is really bombing targeted residents on the, on those uh, streets, and civil defense crews have been warned by israel. they will be targeted if they

try to rescue people. more than 43000 palestinians in garza had been killed since as relaunched. it's war last october. for guys, a civil defense as more than a 100000 palestinians are trapped by the is really siege on the north. those who have fled say they were attacked by that is really military. and then they were forced to leave a gun points many have had to walk for days without food or water. so can you run a softball function? so you use radio, i mean entity around 4 in the morning. they start it's and also shows a missile. so then the quote comp to came and quote on the loudspeaker gets house and evacuate the place, the fast to leave with them and they came out and they, kids and these varies, took them up, and then they took us out to where we have nothing with us um, so they forced us to go to the west of golf. uh we left, we walked, dragging all selves and all children and sort of would you like for some of the northwind hungry for a long time?

no food reached us. we'd have for days without dinner from bread, they belonged to bakeries. they grew up homes. they destroyed and destroyed and sold everything in front of them. thought about as soon joining us from dated by the hand. central garza thought it $24.00 days off and is really siege of the northern part of the gaza strip and it seems to be getting worse by the day. yeah, that's right. there is no any key chain didn't listen to many terry and stephen the secure and safe realities. a northern gauze, especially in japan, leah and big la here town that is so close to boat is with israel yet specially, sketching, getting multiple west as you said, that reading in light of the continuation of military operations by the use. but the pads from is where the media report side that the is very minutes where you has both a military division out from jamalia and yet there's 2. so 2 minute to the vision of is watching inside. that's very bus has come. that has been significantly

destroyed by these valley. it's an area and fight to get spot. these miniature operations are slow. i'm going by the way to now we have been hearing full so most distressing reports from my web site. the compartment is going with the very high intensity in comparison with the previous night. and one of the latest is by the attacks of conducted against one of the main palestinian gathering steps in the valley. at least 2 palestinians have been confirmed, killed according to why wouldn't we also book some report site in gosh, there are still by the way not so have a sense of trust on the need. these a shot to do things on april to be recovered by the civil defense. what cars were confirmed that they are on april 12th, rates in the valley is simply an active or so on. the is what he meant it to. he had destroyed full this tension equipment and even vehicles that were using for transportation was on it 1000. 1000 palestinians have been killed since the beginning of natural ration in value. but yet there has been more confrontations

imagined. but we kind of sitting on the fruits and we use what else? the patient pauses in dot com, which is so close from come out at one hospital. yeah. and speaking of come out one hospital, the hospital, of course, had been besieged, had been rated by the is really forces. what is the state of the hospital? now as you know, with the audit we spoke with the for, for some of the stuff, the, who is the main direct some of the hospitals that just frightening the situation to be completely beyond comprehension. this medical facility is considered to be the main medical facility that is providing medical services for the vast majority of moving causes population. he said that the military alias to the hospital and they have ruined the vast majority of its departments and even the courtyards. what kind of scenarios are gathering to be hosted with the health care system of the hospital has been widely dissipated 5 years. but i mean, they're only looking for some of the stuff. the yellow side,

we know that the 17 masses operating impacts hospital. we've completely, it's a very limited admitted code capacity that has a sparkle hans all to just in terms of q, medical supplies. this is by the attacks that keeps on changing. the facility will be hospitable, especially that lots of patients i'm going to people don't even get a front of the eyes without being able to rescue them. but due to that is to be lack of a sudden chilled medical supplies. very, thank you, thought it started also and reporting from jobs. so thank you. this is really politicians are expected to debate bills that could found the un agency for power sending refugees from operating within israel. it would also significantly restrict its activities across the occupied westbank. nearly the entire population and gaza not relies on or for its basic needs, new to all of these. joining us from the jordanian capital online because the is where the government has band delta 0 from reporting in the occupied west bank and

from inside israel node. what are you hearing about the status of these bills and whether they are already being debated on india can assess well the there are 2 bills and they are sponsored by members of the can that's, that's from nothing. yeah. who has own party, they're set to be adopted in the 2nd and 3rd reading today as a firm by those sponsoring those bills. and what they would do essentially is outlaw, not just the operation of under uh, in occupied east jerusalem. and the rest of the west bank as well as in gaza. but it would also prohibit is really officials and organizations from having any contacts with under uh at or any of its representatives. it wouldn't allow underwood to operate directly or indirectly, not, not just in does up, but anywhere under is really control. and that effectively means that it wouldn't

be able to operate in the occupied west bank in jerusalem either where it services about a 1000000 palestinian refugees. it provides them with education and health services, as well as other services. let alone of course, wouldn't be talked about. does uh, this is the biggest humanitarian operation there is in gaza. 14000 stop providing health, shelter, food distribution, you name it. nobody can even come close to the kind of operation under warehouse in gaza, which is now going to be under jeopardy. so there has been, uh, some wide spread international condemnation and concern that has come through and what, uh will that make a difference? well, it all depends on whether that condemnation stops at the rhetorical level that we've heard from the foreign ministers of 7 countries of canada, the united kingdom,

france, germany, australia, up, south korea. we also even heard from the us secretary of state. they all told israel that this would be catastrophic that they, that as well should not move ahead with those bills. some have even warranted that this would be a violation of the un charter. remember, under what was established by the un, it is mandated by the un general assembly not allowing it to operate would constitute a violation of the charter. and some have even signaled that it could jeopardize the israel status at the un general assembly. of course, we'll have to wait and see whether countries are willing to put some real effort, some real pressure and not just issue statements because otherwise in the span of maximum 90 days, according to those bills, underwater will no longer be able to serve palestine. refugees, anywhere in historical palestine. okay,

thank you so much. not all just chris got us as a former spokesman for it when you're right. he says that if the bills are past, that would be a humanitarian apocalypse for palestinians in gaza. fully posted in, in the go stood 2.3 or 7000000 of them. it would be a humanitarian apocalypse. it would mean that maybe 2000000 people who were desperately in need of food, a 70, the food insecurity. sliding to will stop ation. they would slide the towards the stop ation. it would mean that which is a tendency to provide humanitarian services live savings services to the $400000.00 people would be full. so no northern god into the south where there isn't enough food enough housing. you know, the sound of nature and explicitly, it would means that the fast food of the response to that populations force displacement would effectively be broken in the endings of $650000.00

children would be deprived of an education and goals of i'm by the way in the west because of, along with the have mass education ministry have been the biggest provider or education services. so in the short term, it means that the amount of tearing apocalypse below that it means that withholding of humanitarian services to potentially millions of people desperately need my savings. so it's not just now but in the long run. and israel families have captives being housing cause i have held a protest on the 1st day of a new session of the can as it is really media, say the families took over a committee room demanding that benjamin netanyahu, whose government agrees to a deal that what's the dom returns families say they did this because the government has abandoned their loved ones. here's what's coming up on alta 0

to the center grounds games and chalet with voters abandoning the ruling left on the opposition far right in mid term elections plus find my kind of gives you the pennsylvania scene of the defining battle of the civil war comfortably that some maintain the to circulations, still to be concerned about try me is no longer a tropical storm release, just to depression. it's already cost is damaged from the point of view of funding, but it might cause more and this probably be at now and the, the finance behind them though in china, but a conrad, we should watch because it's a developing type of thing. it's already strengthening. and it's heading towards

taiwan and then probably later in the week, mainland china beyond boss is looking fine. now there's a bulge in the seasonal res, fully find the go away. getting the potential for flooding. i think it home, she possibly including take care. you saw the orange tops move away, but the on that apart from this lightweight instructions on through this part of china towards badging, which doesn't demand too much, you still looking good. this is where we have to be careful, but not until thursday or friday. but honestly, is going sorry from on the 2nd shelf, which means the shy rewriting is limited not to cavities for like, except for this, this is the remains of the loss, the collision that came from the bay of bang go stove up potential to produce some significant dime polls in the next day or so. but we left now with the developing when to see the new daddy, for example, it's not the temperature, the mass is the fact that you're sitting on polluted day and it's still halt, surprise me. so in southern pakistan, the the

how it's reported, look at actual information on the ground looks at the way that this issue is framed in the media. how is used to justify the escalation for louis clay? anything new years that are known as the media and they think it's how it is westernized, is this online which has been aimed at the smartphone generation. the 1st ever female let this operational can't do that. what they're trying to sell right now is a full blown genocide. the listening pace because the media on out is era. the philadelphia say, right, here's a reminder of the top stories this hour. there have been multiple is really or

strikes on tire in southern lebanon. is where the army had threatens people in large parts of the port city to leave their homes for the risk being bombs is really forces have killed a police. a 1000 people started. it's each on northern gauze, off, which is now and it's the 24th day. most of the guys are women, and children's hospitals on childcare is continue to be targeted is where the politicians are expected to pay the bills that could band the un agency for power spinning refugees from operating within israel. and it would also significantly restrict its activities across the occupied westbank. 7 countries like the u. k from germany and canada have issued a joint statements expressing their grave concern over the funds as a tax on a village and sometimes to 0 states by the parent military rapids support forces or

r a stuff has left at least a 124 people dead over the past week, and this follows the destruction of the r, a subs most senior commander through the army last week. the group has been fighting the sudanese army and attacking villages for more than 18 months of the zeros have a more good reports. this mobile footage, taken by a rapid support forces fighter shows the power military insight as to the village in eastern and dizzy the in central to them. and the mobile footage shows other 5 periods, rounding up men young and accusing them of being affiliated with the dance army be by the end of a 3rd video, dead bodies lined up to be buried right here to get my you may get up there. my yeah, it's a mass of power. the man in the video says more than 120 people have been killed in 4 days of attacks on a home by the rest half. the group has been sites in the army for more than 18 months. the recent violence comes after it's most senior commander in entered the

state of outlook aco, defective to the army side. dozens of other villages have also been attacked. thousands have been displaced. many have been reported missing. and so damn center for combat. some violence against women says that nearly 40 women have been raped are, as the fighters say, the attacks are retaliation to kick holds defection of city of, of villages attacks by the recessive live miles away from the nearest the front line. it's not the 1st time the group has targeted the villages and just the, the state when the rest of the over the capital of the villages in december and early january, local groups reported a wave of attacks on civilians. the u. n. has expressed concern over their recent iris attacks and called for it to stop. but the group rated more villages on sunday and resulting in more desks and displacement in a state that was once a refuge to those leading from the rest of and had

a tomb. and now find itself being empty, residents by the same group, people morgan onto the room. so the united nations is now holding an emergency security council meeting about done on the un secretary general. and so when you get terraces, the conflict is having an enormous impact on access to food and age. the people of suzanne are leaving soon like mid a violence with thousands of civilians cubes. and going to the solvers facing and speak about authorities, including widespread, the rape and sexual assaults. in recent days, we have for shocking reports of misgivings. and sexual violence in villages in all is, is either states in the east of the country. that also including knights matter of fungus is more than $700.00. 60000 people face. get this cut off the for the security. and so we are bringing gabriel is on the who is running us from the

united nation. so i suppose gabriel, the you and are trying to shut some lights on what's often being described as a forgotten war and some done. what do we expect to come out of the you and later today? well this is a meeting that was pursuant to a security council resolution $27.00. 15, it was passed and it was adopted in december of last year. and in that security council resolution, it called for the secretary general to brief the counsel every $120.00 days. and that is what he's doing right now. weeks we just heard from him give a very grim briefing of the overall humanitarian situation in sudan. you're right, he has been calling us and many un officials have been calling this in their words a for gotten conflict. he talked about the secretary general more than 700000 people facing grave hunger. but there's millions more that are displaced and don't have enough to eat as well. it is a humanitarian disaster in sudan,

and that is why the security council is meeting we expect also to hear from a top, a un official off in the office of the coordination of humanitarian affairs. and then after this meeting, they will go behind closed doors to have a closed door briefings as well. the big question is, what is the un pushing for? what is the security council pushing for? we should find out in the coming hours, but they the, the secretary general has already, uh, through his is his is his chief diplomat for sudan has already called 2 parties. the parties together for some talks that lead to nowhere. now it's up to the security council to see if they can do anything to try to bring some sort of diplomatic pathway if you will, to the ongoing fighting. okay, thank you so much. gabriel. the, the southern us election campaign is just over

a week away, but in many crucial states, the outcome sits on a knife edge. one of them was pennsylvania with 19 looked for votes. it could decide who becomes presidents, centuries ago, a 3 day battle in one pennsylvania town large. they define the course of the civil war that then raged between north and south. and gettysburg is ready to play its part in defining the course of this election. as my kind of reports, the rolling hills and fields of gettysburg mocked with reminders of the black, the black hole that was faulty, a part of a civil war that pitched americans against each other scenario that it goes in the divided nation of to day. when we start to see people who think differently than us as our enemies, then i don't know that there is another election enough democracy if you will,

that can save us from that. the republican incumbent and the district, backed by donald trump, did not reply to request for an interview, but his democratic opponent, beth bonham. a former republican is adamant that donald trump support could prove costly at the polls. the majority of people i've spoken to, including several republicans recognize what a threat he is to our, to our democracy. and these republicans recognize that while they don't agree with every platform i have. and they understand that if they vote for him, he takes away the right to vote in the 1st place while the civil war was still raging . in november, 1867, abraham lincoln came to gettysburg to dedicate a new symmetry for the thousands of united states soldiers who died and baffled his shows. the address was an impassioned plea for preservation of the union and the

fulfilment of the young nations exercise in democracy is what it co till this day. that the government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the. it's an ideal for which so many died, that struggles to survive. today's clement, a plus style division. mike honda odyssey era gets his book, pennsylvania, ukrainian drones. i've had an ethanol plant in southern russia. the industrial facility in the bar and as region was engulfed by flames, one person was injured. chief says it's drones or targeting infrastructure t to rushes war efforts. nato has confirmed that north korean troops have been deployed to the curse region of russia. that's where ukraine and forces have launched an incursion since august. the deployments of north korean troops cheapest and some of them. a significant escalation in the dpr case,

ongoing your full funds in russia illegal for to yet another but each off and you end security control, their solutions and 3, a dangerous expansion of restaurants for pressure as mounting on japan's new prime minister to step down after his governing party suffered its worst election results in 15 years. she get ro issue by says he will stay in office to avoid a political vacuum rebecca buttons and has more from tow to, to play with the o. d p. having lost so many seats failing to secure, not just the majority in its own right, but on site and majority with its coalition partners that may through policy. that's really a very, very big place to buy c l d p and to depends new private, minnesota. to get an issue, but the key things, in fact him that this snap collection and clearly that was a piece of who gamble with the ended up in fact firing very,

very badly sites. now there was a lot of talk about the issue, but being under pressure to action needs resigned to step down from the policy questions about his future. when the, the policy does, does managed to form a coalition if he can remain prime minister and to how long if he even reaches that points given the extent of this loss too late. and voters seem to have the vote in trend to latin america in europe. instead of a swing to the rights chalet and voters have shunned extremes and move to the center or latin america editor to see a newman, how smart finishes these mid term elections were crucial tests for latin america's young. this left wing president w invoice. you can pick somebody to go by the political context of the country isn't could be many corruption scandals and people are very dissatisfied.
