and the new leader bring political stability to is nation. stay without 0 for full coverage. the israel bombs, palestinians sheltering and tense in southern gospel after forcibly displacing them several times. the toyota 0 ally from a headquarters in del, finds and easy navigate are also coming up is where the forces launch, at least for air strikes on civilian areas and be roots. southern southern donald trump is on his way to the white house as the transition of power from the vice administration gets under way. and people in the break away region of some of the

land are voting for a new president and made growing regional times. the so we beginning garza, we're more than $400.00 days have passed since israel launched as genocide, a war killing at least $43600.00 palestinians, including $17000.00 children. the entire population is under systematic targeting, being forcibly displaced over and over again. this is all happening within a narrow strip of land where every inch is a military targets palestinian officials of accused israel of stuffing up a campaign of ethnic cleansing in the north. that area has been under military siege for more than 40 days. civilians are deliberately being denied the right to

their homes, food, water, and medicine. at least 26 palestinians have been killed in multiple air strikes across gauze us installing on wednesday. this is the moment one of the attacks targeted tens housing, forcibly displace palestinians. and as my wasi, that's an area south of the strip that israel had designated a so called safe so, but it's been under repeated bombardment, thought about assume is following the latest strikes from central gaza. there has been a very remarkable search of strikes on areas that had been designated by the estimated military to be fav humanitarian sources, including l mostly in the western areas of the city of $500.00, which is only for a few kilometers away from what we are we know that makes ship tents have been widely damaged due to that happening to slay fatty is today. and not only a lot of people have been told to see crickets has been targeted,

but there has been more attacks has rained down on the showed and seen that the north will be to be at least 10 public centers have been confirmed. so when one of the lights that taxed in it devalue refuge, account with age organizations have been describing the situation in the north to be in critically or from collapse. if we know that within the past 24 hours, only certain humanitarian aid folks were allowed to get into balls off a fraction of the $508.00 trucks, a higher requires in order to sustain the population key and the strip service advisor out there with that kind of sign israel's attacks are not limited to gaza. it's a $44.00 since that is really military launched, a ground defensive in southern lebanon attacks have targeted thousands of buildings at homes across the country. at least 3287 people have been killed. within 14000 injured israel has been threatening civilians to leave their homes for face being fond of these really military has targeted the southern suburb of

a root with multiple airstrikes. plumes of black smoke rose over the area as civilians were forced to flee in panic, the reports and the 11 east capital. a israel controls 11 on skies. it's been dropping bombs for weeks. and baby with southern suburb is about to be hit. there's panic at the entrances of what is known here as duffy. this is what happens when these really military issues force the evacuation orders. people leave the areas that are expected to be hit. there's still thousands of people who didn't leave their homes despite weeks of bombardment. most attacks come without warning, but at times this really military publishes maps showing buildings. it plans to target. and then this, this strikes begin is rel, says it is targeting sites linked to hezbollah. for many of its

supporters who live in these neighborhoods, these attacks are not just the form of military pressure. they are about collective punishment. we've been displaced and this happens all the time. this has impression . what can i say? i hope the resistance will when the school the hundreds of buildings have been destroyed since the war between as well and has been escalated in september. the past 48 hours have witnessed what have been described as the heaviest daytime attack, so yet on what some call as well as strong hold. many people are too angry and tired to tell their story. human rights groups have said is rated warnings, are being issued a short notice and sometimes in the middle of the night. so social media, when people are sleep on on the 2nd, is she? yeah. well, i live in she yeah, we came here because they threatened to hit the building close to our home. we are

waiting for the strike to happen and off the top and that building was hit. her father has sense, like watch this strike from a few 100 meters away. he tells us he is not sure if he has a home to return to the bottom of the la shipments home. until now, we have barely surviving used to eating and drinking and sleeping on the bed. but if the home is destroyed, it will just listen to death situation that we're living in. and it seemed that this was going to be a long one. it's a concern many have is really strikes are escalating and not just invaded with southern suburb. the human cost and humanitarian consequences of this war have. according to the united nations, reached alarming levels center for their electricity. though they don't of a fighting between israel and his fellows, having a devastating effect on the education of a 1000000 and a half children in 11 on that's according to the lebanese ministry of education.

the start of the academic year was delays because many schools have been shots and they continue to be used to shelter as for people who have been forcibly displaced . troll stratford reports monday routes on the crisis in the classrooms. they go play time for these children sheltering that the school just outside they route they and their families are just a few of the more than a 1000000 people 11 and forcibly displaced by israel's bombing campaign. the was disrupted the education of nearly 400000 internally displaced children. and many of those who schools have either had to close for security reasons or being used to shelters. now what might her name? we teachers were not ready for this crisis. when the displaced people 1st arrived, the worst thing was, their fear. the policies that the neighboring secondary schools have now partially restarted with their students and stuff from another school here too. because it's

being used as a shelter for the internally displaced by some science teacher, alma and he says insufficient with sources. one is the basic problems they face me as a teacher. i have some challenges regarding the project to combine it's our laptop in order to explain our list and also the tiers. and that's how the materials to use. one of them on these new students is lead. he's rails bombing, forced her and her family to flee the home in the south, where she used to go to school sick. it's very strange sitting here or used to be a different school, but it's totally different here with different friends. it's very hard, but of course we'll try to get used to it will become brothers and sisters and good friends soon. what policies going upstairs? there are a few displaced. people sheltering on the ground floor. a mixture of fear and shame

means they don't want to speak on the camera, but they say they have no way to go at least 340 public schools that to be use the shelters for families fleeing israel's military campaign in level of reopen. however, there are many more like this one that is still be used to shelters for those worst affected by the will to sponsor the school year was delayed by a month because of the will. lebanon's education system suffer for use. chiefly because of the economic crisis. a, i'm this current escalation has brought the education system to its needs. this is where many of the displaced having to vacate schools may have no option to go. temporary accommodation is being built underneath the terraces of a bay. we spoke stadium, a child's right to education is in strongly do you need to national move those as

well and has been, let's say, a lot of things as far as a long way off. so that right is being spread will completely denied cello stuff without a 00. the presidential biden is hosting president elect donald trump at the white house. this comes as the to begin a government hand over between their administrations. so donald trump's transition team has yet to sign any official documents to start that hand over process. and you're looking at the live pictures from just outside the white house. as you can see where you expect that meeting to be taking place in doors whereby and will be welcoming the former as well as the future president into the oval office. this is a traditional courtesy by outgoing presidents that will just remind you the trump did not extend to bite and back in 2020. we have 2 correspondents on the store in

a moment's will speak to. she had protested, but 1st to our white house correspondence can really help it so that that meeting meant to take place in the oval office right behind you, where you are. what should we expect? kimberly, as well, uh, according to the full report, the full being of a sort of group of reporters that are covering this event. it is now underway and it got underway about 4 minutes ago. so as they say, trump is in the house, the white house that is uh, and he is now meeting with joe biden. as you mentioned, something that didn't occur when the president elect was the president of the united states. and joe biden was the president of the lack that's because donald trump back in 2020, didn't respect or recognize the results of the 2020 us selection. so this time around, we expect that when those pictures of merge, these men will be all smiles. joe biden says that the american people deserve

a peaceful transition, and that's what he's bower. and that's sort of a contrast to what donald trump delivered back in 2020. you'll remember january 6th when the rest of your tax on the capital was hardly a smooth transition. so jo biden's, promising to do things a little bit different this time around. and these 2 men don't like each other. they may be smiling in front of the cameras, but just very quickly, donald trump is responsible in that one debate these 2 men had for basically toppling joe biden with that knockout punch that he delivered in the debate that ultimately led to jo biden's downfall campbell harris. incentive the top of the democratic presidential ticket, and joe biden, for his part, basically spent 4 year saying that donald trump was an ex, essential threat to democracy. so no love lost between these 2 men. it'll be interesting to see what they say in front of the cameras. yeah, well wait to see if they do speak. kimberly. but how is this different from the last to trump transition, then a heck of

a lot more organized is really what it comes down to. donald trump seemed a little surprised back in 2016 when he won. no one seemed more shocked than he was . they weren't prepared this time around. there was a lot more veteran of individuals and a lot of the people that have been appointed this time already. there not only have the resumes been vetted, and they seemed prepared to nominate these people, but they have been close friends and allies of donald trump and have in many cases served in the previous administration. their experience, donald trump knows how they would perform, and so we're seeing some familiar names, for example, assistance to the presidents or people, but served in the 1st term desk of, you know, steven miller and those are familiar names that faces and they'll be serving this time around and as well, we've seen a lot of trump loyalists and that is really the key to the 2nd trump presidency. is

that the people that are serving this time around are loyal to donald trump. that's what he values most, even though he rarely returns it. okay, kimberly, we'll cross back to you um as and when we may see the 2 men speak, but for the time being. thank you so much for that update from the white house once again. that is a live picture from outside the white house where we understand this. kimberly was there supporting president joe biden is now hosting the president elect. donald trump at the white house at the oval office, and this coming has been to beginning government to hand over between both their administrations. will i speak to barbara perry, who's a presidential studies professor at the university of virginia's miller center? joining us from charlottesville, thanks so much for your time. for some of our viewers, our international audience who may not be familiar with the process on the significance of a presidential transition, can you just explain what it is and how that process works? he?

oh, yeah. well, 1st of all, always a pleasure and honor to be with you and during these historic times in the presidency in the white house, transitions, i think young people would think of them this way. all right, in the united states, what would be a this, you would take the ceo of a major corporation with thousands and thousands of employees and remove the ceo on one day at noon in this case, january the 20th of the upcoming year. and then i take out all of the top figures including the, the board of the business. and in order for it to be smooth, you need to have cooperation on both sides. and for most of american history, that has been the case. i, as we just said in the previous assignment, we know that was not the case in 2020 because donald trump refused to accept the will of the american people. but obviously, joe biden is accepting the results of this election for himself and for his vice president. and i expect that things will go smoothly. ok,

let's talk about the role that of the outgoing presidents as well as the income from president 1st on jo bite. and i mean, what role does he and his team have to play here in ensuring a smooth transition of power? yeah, well the very thing that the president does is lead as we expect presidents to do, and particularly when there's another party coming in the opposing party and perhaps led by someone the outgoing president doesn't care for. and that has happened at other times in our history, and that leadership from the president has to be filtered down through all of the top people in the giant administration and government of the united states. and that leadership has to be, make this as smooth as possible. cooperate in every way you can. and indeed, in 2016, the outgoing and bombing ministration was doing that and prepared all sorts of briefing materials for the incoming members of the trump administration. but as we said recently, it was a chaotic transfer of power on the part of trump,

perhaps because he didn't realize even going to enter this expected, he would win and then he chance to be a k i a g i k out at person. so i, it was the case and there were many obama official to try to meet with the incoming officials of the drum and ministration, but they wouldn't do it or they didn't take the opportunity to do it. uh and so i think that will be different as well as time. i hope that the truck people will be more open to transition materials and advice. so how does that work then from, from the incoming president's team trump and his team, including sort of their, his transition advisor is how do they prepare to take over a government functions? the yeah, so usually the, the incoming president, the president elect, will have a transition team and they will start to meet with all of the top figures in all of the important agencies, the 2nd cabinet secretaries. and there are people who report to them is the problem

was the 2015 was problem, was they had a transition team led by the governor of new jersey, christy, but then he fired him after having been elected. and so there was a young child. but as we just said, there will be now i think that's what is their transition on, on certainly the trump side, because they're prepared to want to take over to impose their policies on the government and the american people. so that will come in the form of media. if indeed the talk people will take meetings with b i o, in addition to ministration barbara perry, just stand by for just a moment because we aren't getting the latest pictures from inside. the oval office that's at the white house where you can see the president joe biden, who has been hosting the president to elect donald trump at the white house. so the, to government, the, they, the 2 governments have become, have, have started rather this hand over uh, between their administration. so these are the latest pictures that we are getting

from the white house. as these 2 men have been meeting, let's spring and kimberly how could once again, joining us from the white house. so kimberly were looking at the pictures. what have you heard on your ends about how that meeting went? the oh well i, i'm looking at the pictures to i haven't been able to get much of a pool report, but what i can tell you is that on 1st glance, donald trump seems to be a lot more to do then. he normally is what i can tell you is that uh the quote i'm getting from the meeting is that donald trump said politics is tough and in many cases it's not a nice world, but it is a nice world today. so i guess he's enjoying himself a little bit. what we're seeing there is the man, you know, donald trump, a bit restrained from what we normally see. he can be a little bit boisterous and his body language and certainly in his comments. but he

seems rather subdued, maybe it's the feeling of nice to be back here in the oval office. joe biden is his usual sort of statesman like self a and seems to be comfortable hosting has the fire going, which we know that, that joe biden does like uh, and it seems to be the fireside chat, but uh, joe biden likes to extend to foreign leaders and to just leaders in general, when he host people in the oval office. so that seems to be where joe biden is a kind of comfortable and that he's the one in charge and he's still the president of the united states. and he's making that very clear, right? still in charge here. and i am until the law gratian day. right. and kimberly important to remember as well that you were talking about this earlier on. i mean, this is a traditional courtesy by outgoing presidents, that they host the incoming presidents for presidents of like into the white house and the oval office. but this was something trump did not, in fact do

a 4 by and 4 years ago. us and, and joe biden often tries to set the bar high lead by example. and perhaps that's what he's trying to do here, is say, look at you did it wrong, the 1st time donald trump, perhaps you could do it better this time. you know, you have to remember that joe biden has been in the us politics for more than a half century. donald trump isn't a politician. he's exactly the opposite. and he made a lot of mistakes the 1st time around in the office when he comes back. this time with a little bit of experience and joe biden, for on, for all intents and purposes, may be saying, look at, hey, maybe you could try to do a little better this time. and let's, let's start with this meeting show the american people, the american people deserve. that is the exact thing that joe biden said and, and it appears that donald trump may be following that example. and jo biden's lead,

at least the picture seemed to indicate that in the body language as well. okay, kimberly thank you for the time being. we're bringing barbara perry once again. who's a presidential studies professor at the university of virginia is miller censor? speaking to us from charlotteville? i don't mean to put you on the spot. barbara perry. but have you seen the latest pictures of donald trump and, and do a bite and meeting at the white house? because i wanted to ask you what you made off of the body language between the 2 men. all right, well since i'm on live television, i haven't stepped away. i and i'm not seeing your pictures so i will have to accept though. okay, so that i did, you're on this one. all right, okay, go ahead. do you did next? next time? well, we'll have a visual, but i will say to that i, it's good for the american people and it's good for the world because the u. s. is still considered, i think the leader at least as a free world. so anything that looks moved to the united states and the american

people and to the world is a good thing. and i think that summary was perfect. that is, the joe biden is a consummate politician and statesman in the best sense of those work. and that may be donald trump is slightly chasing that. what i find that romantic though is that he up and all norm related to the presidency and running for the presidency. and yet again, all of them apply to him in the best way possible, but maybe not causing a change in, in his behavior in his persona, at least in the uh, the sacred precincts of the white house. you just touched on this a little bit. i just want you to elaborate though, however on why the presidential transition is so crucial for the stability of the us government as well as its institutions in the end, in 2 ways, one substantively. and that is that i used to be said that as the president, the contract to the cold, the top target we drop i. and so we, we know that the presidency is the number one symbol of the united states. so it's

symbolic. i and, but again, it's also substantive in on january 6th, 2021. the symbolism of the united states as the leader of the free world, the, the great democratic republic of the united states looks to be less than that. and that's not good for the either the united states or place of the world. it makes it look weak, it makes its constitutional system look weak. so any time there can be a smooth transition from one party to another. but the united states began in 1800 when thomas jefferson found the university where i work today with a different party from the outgoing president and defeated john adams. and there was no love lost between them. but there was a smooth transition and so we hope to, to keep that going. and we hope that january 6, 2021 is behind us and that will move on smoothly from that. okay, thank you so much. barbara perry, thanks for your time and for speaking to us and i'll just 0. thank you. so

elsewhere in washington, dc, republican senators are gathering to decide who will replace the long time senate leader. mitch mcconnell, in the running for the position, our senator john susan, from south dakota or center for john cornyn from texas as well as rick scott, senator from florida. marliss you have a chance he is joining us from washington dc. so tell us more about who is in the running and what we can expect to happen. a little later on of the we're getting sources in the room teaching that they expect the 1st round of aging to begin. now in 15 minutes. initially, this seems like a pretty easy affair drum soon, john conan, as you mentioned very much the mainstream candidates, natural estimates from economy the stepping down of to 18 years. but in recent weeks, rick scott, the senator from florida has read, receive a great deal of support from trump support, and they don't trump overtly no, no, any endorsement on trump eventually himself. and that's added to the pressure.

there's been a real pressure campaign underway here in the senate to get rick scott over the line. and so i'll be up until a few days ago that was a sense of the back 5 some. what is the secret ballot instead of just like being pressure, they'd like to think of themselves as a bubble bubble wrap. so there's a lot of anecdotal evidence of actually that'd made rich scope chances. that's likely. well that in recent days that's, that's not quite sure we're getting more, most ends is not going directly 2nd, or they do simple risk score. either way that or uh, they will be a 1st round of verging at what, what might be the most likely thing to happen is if no one gets a majority of x in the 1st round, then one comes that drops out. that may be potentially a risk score so that he becomes a king maker, and then he can say, all right, well we'll, we'll switch our trump invites to one of the other establishment candidates for more concessions on how things are done in the parliamentary way. then price this in the senate, so that could be, is it a willing dealing that, that we're, we're about, we're about to see, but we'll get a better idea of when, when divergent begins in the leak stop saw that saw the car. okay, so you know,

thank you so much. i the voters and the break away region of. so molly launder heading to polls to choose their next leader. the incumbent president is running for a 2nd 5 year term. so molly line broke away from somalia in 1991 after a devastating conflict. it's been looking for international recognition ever since . and it holds regular elections and even has its own currency. but the lack of recognition has restricted travel and its economy in january. so molly land signed to deal with if you, if you on grants and get access to a stretch of coastline for ports and marine base in return. so molly lawns may gain recognition from e. c o p a in the future. and that has angered the governments of somalia, which calls the deal a violation of its sovereignty. its height and regional tension ahead of these elections can web is following the story from nairobi of my sites as in small it on

while they may have different views on how the country should be given. there is a generally widespread consensus that the recognition should be sold and it should be pursued in the current government set. and these things, it's closer to that, that it ever has been before in the last 30 years since it's declared independence from somalia and the tongue tongue that the government in uh in somebody's capital mogadishu and the deal. we'll just come back to building costs and the opposition would like to finalize that preliminary dale announced via in january at the gives e c. i filled out naval base and access to the indian nation in exchange for recognition. the bad news. thank you. did indeed happen then of the powers or countries in the region may start to swallow, suits and recognize tomatti. and the other thing i just posted the hopes of those in somebody then seeking recognition as the trump administration seemed to come

into power in the us in the last jump administration. some foreign policy officials said the us longstanding policy of not officially recognizing somebody and should be viewed as active as groups and as soon as any a city of wides. mcdonny said the parent military rapids support forces are continuing veritax on villages and just 0 states that our staff launched a tax in the area. on october 21, a commander defected to the army. at least a 150 people had been killed in more than a 135000 displaced in the area. many have fled to now river states, ukraine's air force as it down for themselves, nearly 40 drones launched by russia overnight emergency cruise. and keith had been putting out fires caused by that attack. officials in the campus all say it's the 1st miss all attacked by rushes since august. but there had been near nightly drone attacks on sunday. the governments at a $145.00 drones were launch. that's

a record for a single day in brussels, but us sector of state and city blinking met with nato secretary general mark rotate who spoke about cementing support for ukraine ahead of donald trump's return as president blink. and also discussed the entry of north korean soldiers into combat against ukraine and to appear on gangs involvement will receive a quote firm response. the german chancellor, olaf schultz was announced a vote of confidence in parliament. next month i had a snap elections next year. the government held us 1st cabinet meeting on wednesday after the collapse of the coalition last week. the 3 party alliance split after a route over the 2025 budgets. sol confirm that snap elections would take place at the end of february when he's been there for dusty park soon. i'm very happy that the parliamentary group on the blender stock has reached an agreement on how this can take place quickly and in an orderly manner.
