in bit by here in jeff valley as well. and the loser area in a how is your street? where does video monetary it's obliterated? entire residential lives like this 5 story building is an equivalent of a residential lot when talking about a 100 people filtering inside killed that one. this is nothing shorter than mass murder of entire group of people at by the seeking shelters on under protection, there is huge level of, of difficult is facing people and volunteers in the area of civil defense who members who are rebid of the civil defense for members and products in the area, and there is a rescue efforts uh, the last ex, within the like the proper machine. and the, the, the use their, their hands viewed manually operated tools to remove large pieces of hungry then, and tried to rescue whoever might have survived these attacks as being litter over
12:05 pm
5 hours. now since the attack happens that and by the time goes by the dip chance of the link, people who are still alive are, are getting slimmer and slimmer as a time goes by those who are transferred to all out of the hospital. that's as a smaller, a smaller, chargeable health organization. another part of this trip doesn't have any capacity to accommodate this large number of injures. find it very difficult. we're talking about $25.00 days of ongoing military fees. no food, no water, no medicine, no survival, life saving items available, hospitals do not have the capacity. now, other a part of from that the major ones are pushed out of service. this particular one doesn't have any capacity whatsoever. so injures arrived and literally left a part of from the, the, the basic 1st aid stop that being performed. there aren't any major surgeries perform. that's why the hosp to the me to i'd have to call for medicine, medical supplies to be allowed into the area for doctors, for those with
12:06 pm
a special i vision to come through and all of that helps save lives as they continue to arrive. but there is no medical care, very hope as a, as a depressing situations now when and, and just people are growing into this despair as the killing machine continues. but no, no, save the ones for them know, save areas for them to go to the literally and heard it from one area to another. and as soon as the reach what these thoughts could be a place to accommodate them and their children, they're being killed. some of the heart breaking footage that will be an entire family folder from under drop those mothers on here for children's another mother with here 5, it shows enough father with his, with his siblings and the grandchildren as well with all the from under the, the, the rubble that we're looking forward to future for one family. an indication of what happened was it's more of a mass murder way of slaughter of civilian population. simply seeking show there is
12:07 pm
after the way driven away from their homes. and you have other a few accounts in other parts of the, of the northern part of district. thank so much kindly my best that by engulfing is right. the attacks of killed at least 60 people across lebanon's east and the call region. 28 people were killed in the city of fall back video showed a major fire officer. and as striking the city on monday night is ready for us is targeted 18 towns across the bottom of the call region. as well as also struck southern lebanon. as strikes hit, the town of spot in the novelty of province destroyed. buildings and cons is an a hold of joins us now from an hoffer and by the back districts in east and 11. and so, 1st of all, explained to us the past and of intensifying attacks we're seeing and by the,
12:08 pm
by can the bit call a as the governor of ma that describes monday. so tax is the worst day of violence yet since israel began it's offensive in mid september, i'm just going to show you, we are at one of these sites of that to strike. this used to be a house, up to 6 people were killed. this is what we are being told by the people in this town of family, children among the dead, you mentioned at least 6, the people killed on monday and nearly 60 others wounded. so definitely an escalation volley bicker this region in eastern 11 on the end of the call region. this is very strategic for, for hezbollah. it is, has been described really as a operational base at border syria, which is a lifeline for the group in terms of supplies. and so it has strategic importance. but for the people here, what they are telling us is that as well as going after civilian infrastructure going after the community that supports has below the muslim she,
12:09 pm
us targeting areas where they live, to try to turn people against the group. but this is not the strategy if you like, is about working because when you speak to people here, they will tell you that there's no other force and 11 on who are, who's protecting them against against these is really attacks. this is a group, and we're in a very, very impoverished region. i mean, people are still in their homes in south lebanon. we saw this mass exodus of people, even from baby, with southern suburbs where 700000 people lived. they managed to live with people here, say they have know where to go. they are very, very poor, and most of them will tell you we do not want to live in shelters. we do not want to live in schools. we do not want to live in the streets, so we prefer to stay in our homes and die in our homes. so this is, this is the fear here that this, this trajectory, the trajectory of this conflict is one of escalation. and this is really what we've been seeing, we talk about the politics strikes, but there have been numerous strikes across the southern southern lebanon is well
12:10 pm
a, at the same time we've seen fierce fighting along the border. so this is a very, very deadly conflict with the lebanese health ministry saying more than 2700 people died in a year of hostilities, but the majority of them died since as well. launch this, this major offensive stay with us for a moment. as i know, cuz we need to bring off, you is up to speed with another development that's been happening in the last hour also. and that is, that has been a lot, has announced a new lead name costs and has been appointed as the group's new secretary general. now, you will recall he's been the acting secretary general since israel assassinated his previous us a has and the throttle that happened september 27th in 11 in cost. them is a veteran and figuring the has belong movement having served as deputy secretary general since 1990. 1 is also been the general coordinator of power and for
12:11 pm
election campaigns ever since the group 1st contested them in 1992 and one of the leading spokesmen for husband law, conducting many interviews with funding media. so what messages has the law sending by the appointment of 9 costs and that it's able to re, constitutes and recover? well, no doubt. yes, this is the, the image that has what law has been trying to show ever since the hezbollah secretary general. how some of us are all it was killed in, in this really strike. like you mentioned some 5 weeks ago. now i am asked him was the defacto leader. he appeared in 3 recorded messages. the 1st one he did not look as confident as he did. and in the 2nd and the 3rd time he, he appeared what he said was that the military structure of the command and control of hezbollah was intact. he pointed to the fact that the group continues to fire rockets, drones missiles across the border. he also pointed to the fact that the,
12:12 pm
as well as fighters did not leave their positions along the border and they are engaged in fierce clashes with advancing is really troops. and there is no doubt that fierce fighting is under way along a number of axes. along that border, now there are conflicting narratives on who holds the upper hand along the border. but definitely hezbollah is still putting up a fight, no name, as it may not be the charismatic figure light costume, this relo or the potential successor. everyone expected hash them. so if you deemed to be appointed the next test by the secretary general, but he too was killed. and those really strikes someone will say name ask them is among the few public figures left in the organization after all these series of, of, of blows that hezbollah suffered. but really this is trying to show that the has but allow you cannot just write the off of this group many at the beginning so that you know, it would be after the series of attacks, assassinations that has below would no longer be able to stay on the ground it is
12:13 pm
trying to show otherwise. so this is the message that this the command and control on the military level and on the political level is still very much intact. and i will leave you that thanks so much and ahold of now worldly desire, expressing alarm officer as well as possible, and pasta bill banning view and agency for the palestinian refugees. it was all has repeatedly targeted underwood joining its 4 on garza view and secretary general and tony baton rouge. he says he's deeply concerned by the band. and the statement he said, under is the principle means by which essentially assistance is supplied to palestinian refugees in the occupied territory. there is no alternative to honora. the implementation of the laws could i have devastating consequences for palestine refugees, which is unacceptable. i call and israel to act consistently with its obligations
12:14 pm
under the chancellor of the united nations and to solve their obligations under international law. national legislation cannot alter those obligations. the implementation of these laws would be detrimental for the resolution of these riley palestinian conflict. and for peace and security in the region. let's take a closer look at the impacts of the war on andrea's operations in gaza. view an agency employees about 13000 stuff, 226 of being killed in in his right attack since october, the 7th. more than a 190 of its facilities have been destroyed. only 6 of the agencies 27 health care centers remain operational, nearly 70 percent of the 183 schools that runs have been hit. many severely damaged, 95 percent of them are being used to shelter displaced people. view an agency supports nearly 6000000 palestinian refugees across the middle east. the us is its
12:15 pm
largest, though not contributing more than $420000000.00 in 2023. that's bringing either loved at all for the director of the foreign policy and security program at the middle east council on global affairs is good to have you with us. so by attacking on rule, always seeing here an attempt to attack the palestinians status as refugees. yes. there's, there is actually even before this current conflict and it has that have had underlying their sites, you know, of course as own or was established in 1949 to look after the kind of fitting and refugees in preparation for one day for the right of return to return to their villages to their homeland defense on the spirit phone and the israeli occupation for decades and decades. and mr. have an opportunity for these are used to effect on north, directly. as your report has shown more than 200 you and stuff is that have been killed. it's scores have been bombed. it's hospitalized,
12:16 pm
it's 8 supplies. so is there it is using this kind of launch now to really go after on one and replicated one side and the thinking that being, when you talk about, you know, to eradicate the state. this is refugees in order that the question of the right to a ton, how to implemented that. it should be implemented up. all of that goes away with underway and stuff that helps exec comedies, riley, many of the palestinians are have refugee status. and by keeping the refugees that this potentially prepared, as for pushing out many of the cousins into neighboring countries, i'm asking countries to take them over. this is also happening in the same time as x rays are heavily attacking northern because that would seem the atrocities of today. and i think these atrocities will actually continue this week and we may be escalate in the lead up to the election. given that everybody's really focused on the selection and the undergrad side, unfortunately, is becoming a footnote. we've also had another development across the border in lebanon where
12:17 pm
they've appointed name cost him as the secretary general of hezbollah. what do we know about 9 costs and when there he's been room to be the number 2. uh uh, we've had some, a lot of different to use of unknown quality. your house and the fellow had the popularity across the region and facing his. he doesn't carry the same code as much as he doesn't have the same christmas. and it's a could you can find for his beloved because many of its basis i've faxed them and direct effects on, on the, on the, in general, i actually would expect a visitor eighty's over the next week, would bottom the here again and attempt to kill him how salt salt was 9 for his pragmatism? this name cost him sharon, that's right across from shred. is that because he also coordinated with has with last parliamentarians, uh, in the, in the lebanese, the parliament, this one looks to me it's to be seen. the situation is quite fluid now, and actually what does raise want to do through attacking hezbollah? so actually divide the schism between the liberties and encourage and other the
12:18 pm
lebanese civil war, which so far that'd be sections have resisted, is the underlying message here that has the law is not defeated that these blows have not destroyed the organization. they can recover from them. a, i think by him appearing on this announcement happening this highlights, they're trying to highlight the position that they're actually spend there, the single 3 thing and they have not use the for the strengths. okay, thank you so much. and the fall for coming in talking to us now still ahead on al jazeera, i'm all in for sure. in atlanta, georgia, with the trump campaign is trying to dump, done the flames from comments made by speakers at a previous, trump, raleigh, the the.
12:19 pm
that is, this is the way this month for many places on the coast to vietnam. and it's probably surprising is when you tend to get all the time savings. now, try me with all the time period, but it stood for for depression and stick. huge amounts of rain in high and then down in viet nam for the cold. rain might hold your focus. that is, as i said, and the major one heading towards the tire one. it does mean that anyway, sorry for that thing should be crushed and they have been this now i blew my showers or found this to with developing in java and to the east where it has been dry for weeks on it. and it's still basically a dry picture in australia and the shows well, the thunder storms that were rather active in the east have gone our way. there are still shouts, building further west through westminster area through science, australia. press enjoying the sunshine and sunshine is the major event. be honest, the most people, apart from the north darwin expanded west of them and temperature wise, it's hot in the interior, it's nothing stream elsewhere. well, the if you look at purse, you might think otherwise. growth is having to help them to say 33 degrees is what
12:20 pm
above where it should be. we do cool down to 521. this is charles. come in. the wind direction, changes by saturday, asked and easy didn't think of right. first of all, for no fall in maybe less surface i have fallen, but that will be rectified on thursday. the, there's no limit to have a dream container. stuff in your own adventure, no. counter and the
12:21 pm
the will come back to watching out, is there a time to recap on headlines, at least $77.00 palestinians, including 17 children, have been killed by an israeli attack on big la. here in northern garza, the strikes talk is, is a 5 story residential building where a 150 people were sheltering thousands more people are still trapped under the wrong medical themes on unable to reach an east and lebanon is right. the attacks of killed at least 60 people across the call region is riley strikes concerts, 18 towns in the area. it's the deadline to stay in east and 11, and in recent weeks, named costume has been announced as the new secretary general of has the law.
12:22 pm
they've been the deputy leader of the policy since 1991 costs and has been acting had since the assassination of testing the summit in september a to sedan. now where a series of attacks on a village and just a to say by the power minute 3 rapid support forces is killed at least a 124 people see you and says he's deeply concerned by reports of mass killings and sexual violence. and when morgan has this report, the, this mobile footage taken by a rapid support forced his fighter, who was the parent military insight as p d. village in eastern data 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, the, by the end of the 3rd video, dead bodies lined up to be buried. you mention that again while you do make that up your, my yeah, it's
12:23 pm
a massive car. the man in the video says more than 120 people have been killed in 4 days of attacks on a home by the iris. 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 for them 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 entered the other state when the receptor over the capital of the villages in december and early january, local groups reported a wave of attacks on civilians. the un has expressed concern over their recent iris
12:24 pm
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 recess and heart of tomb. and now find itself being emptied habits, residents by the same group. people, morgan onto the room is the, with just one week to go until the us presidential election. both candidates stepping up the campaigns. in swing states, vice president campbell of harris has been campaigning in michigan which has a long job american population. a republican opponent donald trump, is hilda riley, and georgia. both presidential candidates have also been campaigning in the swing states of wisconsin. it's known as america's de resigned. much of the nations, milk and cheese originates or farm is best say they've been impacted by inflation
12:25 pm
terrace and the stress of mass people. patients hard to jo castro spoke to, to farmers very different opinions. a visit to row wisconsin, offer signs. this is from the country. this is ruby. she's one of our favorites. tom overhead says that's about right. the walk a show. county dairy farmer has voted for donald trump in the last 2 elections and says, he'll do it again. there's, there's no doubt for us our timeline to jump pa. busy is policies room much better than under biden policies? no doubt. he says inflation has hit his farm hard. what price takers are behind the curve? so the, the inflation number, one of that no type is the biggest economic reasons. the family farm was once found all over the american midwest. the now it is a disappearing tradition with an average of one family farm a day going out of business here in wisconsin alone. and there's plenty of debate
12:26 pm
over who is to blame for that. we're still dealing with retail atory tariffs from his previous administrative. tina essentially blames trump, her family, his own dis, gary outside madison for 6 generations. she plans to vote harris. she is a woman in charge. she is brilliant. essentially is worry, trump would cancel the affordable care act, which provides health insurance coverage to $45000000.00 americans, including farmers. i've had many, many, many people come up to me and say that they have preexisting conditions and that their lives definitely depend on this election to make sure that they are going to be able to keep their insurance plans is already doing. essentially didn't have insurance. when she developed a brain tumor in 2006, she says she had to pay $180000.00 to remove it, nearly costing her the farm. she also thinks terms of plan to do court. millions of
12:27 pm
undocumented immigrants is racist. and agriculture experts have ward that could lead to a farm worker shortage if, if some of those workers are deported or some of those workers choose not to, to emigrate legally because they, they fear our system. producers are going to either face increased costs or not be able to find labor at all over house. the farmer who supports trump says mass deportations are necessary. what's clear, the issues facing american farmers are complex and there are 2 sides of the fence. hydro, castro elgin's era walk, you show, county, wisconsin, tens of millions of americans will cost the balance on the election day on november, the 5th, but the system to choose, the president is slightly different than other countries. so vanya explains the role of the electoral college. and most democracies elections are pretty simple,
12:28 pm
voters vote the candidate with the most votes wins or the party with the most votes wins that appoints its leader to come in. but that is not how it works in the united states. instead of voting directly for a present as americans pick their leader through what is known as the electoral college and every 4 years we have to remind ourselves of how that actually works. so here goes, there are $538.00 electors for electoral college voters representing all 50 us states plus washington dc. these are people that are appointed by the political parties. a candidate needs house of that plus one to win the presidency. that's 270 electoral votes. that is the key number. what americans are rarely voting for is their state electors. the group of people who will vote for the presidents on their behalf. states have electors based on their population size. so look at this, take a big state like california this year. it has 54 votes in the electoral college, texas as 40. remember you need to 70 to win. so that's a big chunk of small states. on the other hand, like wyoming, like vermont,
12:29 pm
have just 3 votes each in most states have a winner take all policy. electors are chosen based on the who wins the states popular vote. and let's take an example of state texas huge state big population. in 2025 point 8000000 voters. chose donald trump. more than 5200000 people chose job i'd, because texas is winter takes all those millions of votes provide, did not matter. trump, on all 38 electoral votes bite and got nothing out of texas. one other thing to note, every state has to have at least 3 electoral votes, regardless of population size. and this means small states are hugely over represented in the electoral college example. wyoming has one elector for roughly every 142000 voters. texas, if you do, the math has one for around 466000 voters. what does all of this mean? it means that throughout history, on 5 occasions, candidates who did not win the popular vote have actually ended up carrying the
12:30 pm
presidency. that includes famously george bush in the 2000 presidential election, who got fewer votes than his rival, al gore. and most recently, donald trump in 2016 became president with fewer votes than hillary clinton. in every close election, the presidency boils down to just a handful of states around the country. there are 244000000 people eligible to vote, yet it is. these 7 yellow states swing states here, only about 18 percent of the total population who ultimately decide to win the system of state by state winter take or contest where candidate can win the popular vote but still lose the election is deeply unpopular. more than 6 out of 10 americans want to see a president, when's the most national votes? but that would require changing the us constitution, which is hard to do an unlikely to happen any time soon. no position protest as in george.
