on the, the un special committee signs as real as well. and gaza has the couch risk of genocide and recommends businesses be held accountable for profiting from it. the i'm sort of, i'm a good to have you with us. this is like from the also coming up israel strikes a you and when school in kansas city housing forcibly displaced almost indians, at least 4 people are killed. the southern suburbs of

b routes or hits by at least 14 is really or strikes including one next to the cities airport. and siri and officials say at least 15 people have been killed and 2 is really strikes on the capital damascus. the israel's war on gaza is consistent with the characteristics of genocide that is the finding of the un special committee that accused israel of using starvation as a weapon of war. it's report urged all member states to uphold their legal obligations to stop israel's violations of international law. and also recommended businesses be held accountable if they have helped provide weapons or technology that enables israel's continuing on slot. the special committee has accused as real of stripping palestinians of necessity is required to sustain life, such as food,

water, and fuel. then you report also accuses israel of creating a leaf, so a mix of crises that will harm generations to come in a 2nd report. this one from human rights watch says that is really as committing estimate cleansing in gaza. the report found evidence of israel's deliberate enforced mass displacement of palestinian civilians which it describes as a war crime of israel killed at least $27.00 people across the gaza strip on thursday, including in an air strike on an on the law school that housed hundreds of forcibly displaced, palestinians in gaza, city was a 0 sum, a binge of 8 reports. what do we call a massacre? is that occurring? the reality for palestinians is really bones of kidmore that survivors carry the old and the young looking for help. the, the civilians displace from the north. israel continues with its genocide against the entire police,

didn't and population. the whole world is watching palistine and women and children slaughter ripped to pieces and show it to the bone. what are the arabs waiting for? why is the whole word silence as our population is ethnically cleansed? enough is enough that these victims are from a pact you in school to being used in a shelter and go to city. hundreds of palestinians forcibly to space from their homes and northern gauze, sheltering there was in front of them. and they said, that's how we rush to sell a dean school shelter after it was pounded by his rarely bull plains. this entire section of the building was leveled and the mass of 5 broke out. as a result, we managed to put the fire out for young children were killed in the attack and one on the day began for many of the more emotional good vibes as the old very more of the young this must be under is that i like so hospital in the are offering is really strike in my god, the refuge account, the specter of death, that every hospital courtyard. every day,

the living being starved as 8 is blocked from northern gaza for weeks. those who have been forced to other areas can get some food, which they have direction. but for people like one me, i cool access to some old flower is not enough to forget the reality that applies to didn't show you. do i want to yesterday we had 20 killed the day before yesterday we had 1st we hear a society and a 100 people being killed every day. is a world not seeing this, the whole world can see what's going on and gone to. they are in assignments and turned their heads nobody cares about. so for the tools of the policy means base that complained to being abandoned by the world on witnessing recurring war crimes in the last 14 months and to 9 know the basic needs. and israel systematic campaign to dismantle and outlaw the only agency monday to, to provide relief if or cannot operate the defense, the u. n. will not be able to operate and to provide this critical

services. and in that case, the only i've done that even option is that the owners and the responsibility goes back to the occupying power. that occupying power is focused on the military victory over the people. and then regardless of the suffering. 6 in the $43000.00 palestinians were most the women and children have been killed since israel warden garza began, and it appears to be no end in sight. some of them jobby after their, as the un special committee has listed a number of recommendations to the member states, to stop israel's violations of international law. the report calls for nationals of un member states, including those with do is really citizenship involved in settler violence or violations and gaza to be held accountable. it recommends that companies which are complicit in violations of international law face full accountability, accountability for their actions as whether through the supply of arms or provision

of digital products and services that enabled israel's onslaught. it also recommends investors ensure that their investments in israel do not prolong the occupation of palestinian land and the social media companies including meta, tick, tock, and ex, increase transparency about government requests for content removal. without court orders and calls for individuals not to be mislabeled. as anti semitic for disapproving of the killing of civilians and attacks on humanitarian workers. gabriel, alexander has more details from the united nations headquarters in new york is highly significant in the sense that this is a committee that was mandated by the general assembly back in 1968. and they issue report every year looking at the human rights situation in the occupied palestinian territories. now this year they focused on everything but particularly on guys because of israel's a continued bombardment there. and the report looks from october 2023 until july,

2024. and they spent the last several months compiling all of this data to ultimately complete this report. it's very extensive. it has a lot of details and it's a $27.00 pages more than $200.00 different foot notes with pieces of evidence. and as you pointed out there, many recommendations you point out a few of them, but they're also even more over 20 recommendations when it comes to recommendations for member states, recommendations to israel, and then general recommendations as well. just one line from the report, it says by early 2024 over 25000 tons of explosives equivalent to 2 nuclear bombs, had been dropped on guys causing mass destruction. again, that's just in early 2024. so as bad as this report is, are ripping as its findings are. the real situation guys is probably even much

worse, so they will be working on another report looking at more recent data as well. but this report will be presented to the general assembly on monday, or then we expect to get more reactions from member states as sarah heber, of joins, as now you're the coordinator of the military embargo campaign for the b b. s. movement. that's a boycott divestment and sanctions movement. and israel, you're joining us now. phone calls were in germany. look this, this special committee reports is telling businesses to divest from economic operations that help israel's war and gaza, or the healthy occupation of palestinian territories. it's. it's hard to read that and not see it as a win for you. i mean both in the spirit of what this special committee is recommending and in the letter, you know, the way they actually write it in the language that they use. how, what's your reaction to this report or the purpose is not the investment itself the

purposes and to end the genocide, to end the justice of the apartheid impact as time as. so this is a of course, any important step forward. this is a very well come report to by the run, the inspection committee and to the investment. this is one thing that the corporations are obligated to do or, or investors are obligated to do for more reasons for ethical reasons. a, as well as for legal reasons and also for practical reasons, but to, and it's not just the investment, let's not to focus on here that they investment because corporations are, are a band actually from taking action that supports a, these really well crimes and crimes against humanity and against palestinians, so they have to cease from all kinds of actions of providing weapons into a use items and services which enables this genocide look i, i can't claim that i've read every you and report in detail, but this does feel like, uh the there there is momentum around the idea,

not just of divestment, but around the general principle that whether it's member states, whether it's businesses, whether it's individuals, everyone has a responsibility to actually stop genocide. i could prevent it from happening or stop it when once it has begun. that happens, there seems that there's momentum between this idea in this idea of responsibility to ended is that new to you, as we are and observing and unprecedented events. this is the 1st live stream genocide in history. and a and a 0 journalist a are, are dying are being killed and ordered to report on this genocide as it unfolds. so it's also a because of the workload to 0 that it is indeed a live stream and genocide, anything. and when we're looking at an other journal size in history, where a, the, there was in different ways of the way the international community standing up to them. and also in staff is st. silence in the face of genocide and we are,

we're now. so i've seen something truly unprecedented where they, the humanity is a standing against a at this atrocity. and then the one is, is taking action. do you want itself, of course, is not that it doesn't have the power to force a corporations to take action. but states have the organization to force their operations, operate in their territory to take this action. and i think it, most of the employees of these corporations have an obligation. so yes, this is something new. this is something very striking. and, and, and also encouraging that in a very dark, the time that we are in the states. i, well, i wanna ask you, do you feel that it's working right? because we're, we're seeing this momentum that we just discussed, right? this is now the language that bts has been putting forward is now also the language of this you in special committee report. it was also the language of the international court of justice has advisory opinion on the legality of the

occupation of the occupied westbank back in july. so it's so the language, the philosophy, the mood, i dare say it's sort of going in your direction. but at the same time, actions are not, we're not seeing very many countries take meaningful stances, or does it mean yes, movements there is a, is in movement, the student services, i don't ministrations. and, but a standing unions and, and political parties initiated, in order to implement international law. it's not a coincidence that the international law speaks the language of bts because this is a movement based on international law. and, and so in that sense, it is going away when, when finally and, and it's really a terrible that it takes the genocide for the international community to see what the, the law has been. and then all the day of themselves, i just made it just been in place for, for so long it. but to let me address your question. have states already taken action? absolutely, yes, of course,

it's not enough. as long as people are being killed, it's not enough at but to ad there have been a states that have already imposed restrictions on their corporations and look at the columbia and disrupting it's a coal mines in coal and delivery companies to stop sending cold, to assert and this is a very important section. we see this also in turkey. we see this also in portugal and spain. and by the time and so radio and the montenegro and, and the even the countries which are the closest friends, a wizard and who turned a blind item is ready apartheid. a sense of colonialism ethnic cleansing for decades and such as canada, france, the u. k. eh, the netherlands, they realize that the laws most on their side and they have no choice but to start and to take legal action against a arms companies that to continue to provide weapons. so as are or doing these items. and we're seeing more and more of these examples. in fact,

the list is so long when we just don't have time to go through it. yeah. but yeah, but we, we continue to, to get more more states and more corporations to comply with international law until the killing stops. have i have to run what we're seeing some very some all steps in, in that direction, whether it's countries or businesses actually taking action. and as i said, very small steps. i think this raises larger questions and hopefully we'll get a chance to address them again. sure. heaver a coordinator of the military embargo campaign for the b b. s. movement. thank you very much. thank you. at least 14 blasts of shaking be root in the past 24 hours, as israel continues to bombard its southern suburbs. the is really army had issued threats of attacks multiple times for 2 areas in the south of levins capital. the commercial district of heartbreak and the board of verizon, a neighborhood had been targeted, saying to hold a reports from the route the strikes keep coming.

there's been no lit up in the is really military's bombing campaign in beirut, southern suburb against what the military calls hezbollah target's day and night. the largely empty neighborhoods are coming under attack. other areas where hezbollah has influence are also being targeted, as well as defense minister says as well, we'll continue to hit test below with full force, and there won't be any sees fire until as well as goals are meant among them, pushing the arms group back from the border area, hezbollah remains defiant. well, my husband cuts out a cobra despite a huge civilian casualties and destruction, of our people have no choice but to continue to exist in the face if it's really important lives in nits and you know, will not take through politics what she couldn't through our country not submit to the enemy's condition on how's the law is fighting back. it is still able to launch

themselves and rockets across the border, reaching as far as tel aviv. these really media says these attacks are forcing millions of israelis into shelters among as well stated work goals is the return of tens of thousands of people to their homes in the north as well. i have said as ro won't be able to achieve that as long as attacks on lab and on continue. it has also made clear as won't accept, as well as conditions for a cease fire, saying they amount to a surrender and violate 11 on sovereignty. israel is insisting on the ability to conduct military operations with bins lebanese territories and act on its own against has the law for hezbollah. the main front in negotiations is a battle field along the border. it is hoping to change the equation by making it costly for advancing is really troops who are moving deeper inside lebanon. i think

when it is a group goal or is that forces go deep deeply in this is on there will be more, uh, exposed. and because moves, well, moving, moving inside and moving deeply, is that weakness is always in his immunization concept. isabel has been relying heavily on its air force and casualties are climbing. but hezbollah says, as well as the policy of killing and destruction will not force him to change his position for now, negotiations are being conducted under fire. santa hunter eligibility to date of this. and this just in, we're learning the us ambassador to live in on has now presented the lebanese speaker, parliament, and i'd be buried with a draft proposal for a ceasefire. so if you'll remember in the last few days, the idea of a ceasefire between israel and as below has been floated multiple times without much clarity on what it would look like. but multiple is really sources,

have referred to it over the last few days. the latest we have on this now is that the us ambassador has in a quite the official matter, presented a draft proposal for a cease fire to the lebanese speaker of parliament. still ahead on alger 0. processors in support of palestine gather in central powers and that type security for a football match between france and israel n loyalty being rewarded. us president elect donald trump names his picks for some top level positions. the it's, there's been yet more funding in spain wound dolls and instructions issued and followed

. nevertheless, they must do fairly in mount like a this time or where the river best it's banks. it's still raining and the trend is to take the right and study further west throughout the rest of your things and much costs and it might appear. but we're concentrated in spain and portugal for us . this is friday's full cost taking the right to. we'll see. i'll golf and up the bolt in between spain and portugal that off to sharon's. you'll notice nearby and see there was a warning in town of governor during 5th stay but that's gone. and these are nothing like insufficient shows, the heavy ones that briefly bought some flesh by the sicily. ah, not reflecting grace though. there is a warning at the grease for friday and saturday for the potential. big down pulls out of those tend to still just adrift, slowly eastwood's into the gym. and as i said, the rest of the european plane actually is quite, quite the might be a been a challenge of sunshine and coming through on the south of the day is the wind stuff is to things up in fact, so when the period through dead box and 3 is coming out of your in particular, most knife in norway. and it's pulled up in dubious from 3 degrees to know sir,

north africa keller, it was a whole just placed an old man to sleep near 40 just about to you. otherwise, the breeze is blowing the heat westwards. the the watching else has 0 reminder headlines this hour. a new report by un special committee is found israel's warfare methods to be consistent with the characteristics of genocide, including the use of starvation as a weapon of war. it accuses as real of creating a little mix of crises that will inflict severe harm on generations to come on. the

ground is really military has targeted an anal school housing. hundreds of course will be displaced, palestinians, and gaza city, at least for children who is really army spokesman. daniel agari says that they will attack any attempt to bring weapons from syria to has belong in lebanon. and any infrastructure in syria where weapons are produced is comes out the reports from syrian state media, the 2 is really, are strikes on the capital, damascus have killed, at least 15 people, one hit, a west and neighborhood of damascus, while another target at a suburb. the office of the palestinian islamic jihad group was targeted with several of their members killed. 16 others were wounded. charles stratford is following the story for us from the route. a certain defense ministry is being quoted in syrian state media. as the having been 15 people, at least 15 people killed in buildings, is riley strikes. another 16 injured targeting an area inside the syrian capital

domestic scenario, cold months, a which is a fairly well to do area to place host 2 buildings offices of the united nations. the other strike was in the damascus countryside outside the capital. the is really all me, it's saying that they talk to the palestinian islamic jihad. what indeed was talk is it remains unclear. there has been no statement by that group palestinian islamic jihad all goals are based. they participated in the attacks with high mass on october. the 7th, last year inside israel, we've seen an uptick in attacks by israel targeting areas of syria. and usually they really statement saying that they've been suddenly in recent weeks targeting, while they describe us has the opportunity of so hezbollah infrastructure inside syria. they've also being targeting transport routes and bridges of co, syria is

a major ally of as well. and intelligence agencies will tell you that weapons come through syria from iran, into level to so that as being a lot of focus of the bombing in recent weeks. this attack though is the 1st in a long time same and he targeting the palestinian islamic jihad. and again, it illustrates that israel can basically seemingly strike when and where it once it's all stuff without your 0, they would the hundreds of protesters are on the streets of the french capital for a 2nd night. the head of a football match between france and israel. the demonstrators are rallying and supported palestine following for an end, the israel's war on gaza. protest is wanting to mass between france and israel to be cancelled. thousands of police officers are petroleum, paris, fearing unrest. the city is on high alerts following violence in the netherlands,

just last week. after a match between i x amsterdam andi is really met, could be team well as, as here as natasha butler joins us from paris. natasha, where, where are you? and also what's happening, or rather i see it's emptying out behind you, but what has happened? well, we just recommend this are way from the start. the 1st stadium, which is where the from israel match will take place. we call and get much closer to the stadium. because there is such a high security, but behind may a few moments got me the idea that you might still be able to say a few people. there were hundreds of protests as you'd call me here for several days and weeks now. they've been saying that they simply wanted this much to be cancelled, but it was inappropriate. there's problems was hosting the national team of israel . israel was conducting this war dollars in west bank and attacking level. and they said that by doing that fraud is in some way complicit. very angry. also,

the french presence emanuel michael decided to be at the say, doing this. even i have to say though, he's one of the very few people because the staging will badly before he's got an ac thousands capacity for 32000 tickets for so many people simply wanting to stay away. they're worried about by it. and so i'm worried about that, but also people, so just didn't want to go to a much between problems and as well. all right, i was a 0 is natasha butler reporting from near the sub default. thank you very much, natasha. as us president elect donald trump has named more top level positions, including many who are shown loyalty to him. trump has nominated marco rubio, a senator from florida, the secretary of state. while former democrats will see gabbert is his pick for the director of national intelligence and math gates has been chosen as attorney general. all 3 must be confirmed by the senate, which will be under republican control from january. alpha 0 is white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare has more on this from washington. astonishment from both

democrats and republicans here in washington and across the united states over the decision to a point not only tulsa gabbert, a one time democrat, to director of national intelligence, but also mat gates a one time congressman. now to be the attorney general, the top law enforcement officer picks by president elect donald trump coming as a bit of a surprise given their backgrounds. tulsa gabbert has been at odds with foreign policy in the united states. she has met in the past in 2017 with syrian president bosher all off that that is at odds with us foreign policy. also claiming that there are bio labs in you frame, but it is really, mat gates is background. that is a grave is concerned to both democrats and some republicans. until recently,

she had been investigated by a house ethics panel for concerns about morality including illicit drug use, accepting gifts, ad sexual misconduct. this panel was set to release its report on friday that will no longer be made public due to his appointment as attorney general. now, there are concerns about whether or not donald trump will now be able to have a check power given the fact that the republican party controls the house of representatives, the senate. and now donald trump is able to potentially push through his appointments without having any sort of load at all. in fact, he posted on acts that he would like to do. so during recess is even without the sort of standard 50 votes. now the question is, will republicans stand up to him? kimberly hell kits. alger 0, the white house, a brazilian police say there is evidence of a link between

people, as of who we choose for the future of this country booth and in 1000 sorta when there is a parliament free of corruption and fraud, we hope the benefits will take us down to the people have them enough for us at least for our children, the, i'd be the lift this national people's power lines is expected to do well. the newly elected president under commodities on 9 cookies of parliament and called the snap election in september, hoping to win a majority. this is important for the ncp to keep it from says of rooting out corruption and bringing in sweeping changes that many have off. so bottom, give me something with what i've done. we definitely need strong power in parliament. so on november 14th, we must, through the parliament with our representatives thousands of candidates, a competing for the $225.00 c. the legislature. most of districts needed to buy the papers just to fit in the hundreds of names in the free election commission says the election when 12 method it up at that time, the research, the public,

the political parties. i'm the support is to extend the cooperation given to us to conduct a peaceful election law until we finish counting the vote and announced the result is not even many here have not forgotten economic protest and unrest of 2 years ago . us governments have been accused of federal sions, mismanagement and abuse of power. she loved it and say it's time to choose people who is of the country above themselves. former president, running victimizing on the phone. the opposition lead this subject pregnant. that's a claim that can do this with the only ones able to stay of the country to we cannot make recovery counseling centers in every district like this one in colombo will be the center of attention in the coming hours as well. it's accounted bothering bad weather or dispute. the election commission hopes to have a final result by friday evening. minute fernandez, a 0, colombo visibility in india is capital has fully.
