to speak. now, to talk about zoom, he's indebted battle for us. so let's start with those rescue operations in the north. how all day proceeding with virtually no equipment. well, let me stop 1st by reporting what was happening in the past 24 hours in particular . the northern part of because of the is what the military has conducted wide scapes since i get the best choice on a different residential buildings in the vicinity of commodities. one hospital based medical reports that 66 post indians have been consensus killed while the hundreds of those were the ones that we have been speaking to. our witnesses in the cycle destroyed tend a relatives who are living in the same neighborhood. they confirmed that the house in these houses that were destroyed, expect it to be housing $200.00 palestinian citizens are being completely right now
10:05 am
. let's talk on that. the debrief of these traps, its buildings in a city that tend to be completely covered across town. right now for the vast majority of as well as we also understand clearly that civilians are taking the full responsibility of putting 6 types of from onto the dippers of these houses. given the fact that. busy the simple defense crews ought to not effectively operate them, say to a freight and northern guns are due to the air to the east by the repeated attacks on the headquarters and big trunk, concise in vehicles. and along as full. so supplement the crews men based on the ground to have been widely targeted, making them completely on april to west, in that very dangerous environment. not fully into another talk by the way savvy people were killed. there has been more expands and i'm more frozen incomplete abutment to reach south city. the area was simple games have recently stopped to just lead from devalue law here to in order to seek refuge ship one neighborhood,
10:06 am
east neighborhood that is located in the western side of gone to 65. a story. buildings was completely flat and it looks to a roof, the family, $22.00 kind of sentience. we know so far, whitfield in the strike, wild house is expected to be housing 50, innocent civilian schools have been completely trapped on the remnants of that trotted house. we started civil defense, what physical greenville, with bradley and service, limited capacity in order to recover the children and women who are still stuck on the tons of a russell that has been completely buried underneath the the leak realities. not only these areas of come on to a be fine, but also in the central area in the past. oh, exactly where 2 children have been critically wounded as the for had been to one of the schools that to us. so to bring hundreds of palestinian families and a fridge refugee camp. what else went on the south also to make shift 10 plus
10:07 am
congress said 7 palestinians typing up some killed the strikes. thought a golden rule overnight and about a 100 people as being killed and this really strikes in the north of gone. so what is happening to the wounded civilians when there's no functioning hospitalized in fact, send me these when the receipt to the tax, the ongoing strikes and the limits admitted resources have for you to the very only a situation for this going to people, hospitals and fox what can be beyond the capacity? we know the hallways, corey doors and even the yards of the hospitals have been used 6 feet. one defeats and hospitals are completely going to a very looks real a metrics, those prices we know that essential america. i'm sorry, i'm no longer available and the vast majority of doctors, hospitals included also the blood units and anesthesia as well. we also understand
10:08 am
clearly that hospital is, has been dealing with a suffix, numbers of casualties saved by to your medical team. have been using some sort of medical references from who should get treatment 1st. sometimes medical teams are forced to use some drastic medical images including amputation in order to save the lives of those in people's box. the grim reality is that the vast majority of the health care system of the gaza strip have been collapsed. and what has been left is the struggling to continue to be up to raising on the ground and light of that very drastic unfolding humanitarian crisis. of course, many areas and because right, let's talk about zoom for both and to us from golf view and security council is again filed a possible resolution calling for the cx 5 and gaza. for the full times, us is blocks and resolution demanding in the easiest and permanent truce between
10:09 am
israel and thomas gabriella. as on the reports from the united nations, the 1st time was in october last year. those against the 2nd was in december, then going through to the 3rd in february those against and now for the 4th time, those against the us is raised to tend to be to a security council resolution regardless ceasefire. many have said that the ongoing and her lation of the palestinian people is a major staying on our collective human conscience. today the council had the opportunity to begin erasing that stain. but despite our best efforts and almost universal support to go in that direction, the counselor was again strong by every to the original draft resolution included chapter 7 language. now that's important because it would have
10:10 am
a centrally empowered the council to take more forceful steps, including possible sanctions against israel. if it didn't comply, the americans demanded that the chapter 7 language be removed. and negotiators reluctant lee come slide, but the us still vetoed one member. choose to block honey auction, honey auction from this concept. what the hell does is what i need to do more for this concept to act on the chapter 7. what more can they do for this concept to act on the chapter 7 or with discounts would be the last place on of the come up recognize effect to piece when they see it with the soak, living so on denial. but as you are with this thing,
10:11 am
the attempt to emulate a nation or can to the us justified to be told by saying a ceasefire should be conditional on the release of the captives. we made clear throughout negotiations, we could not support an unconditional cease fire that failed to release the hostages. the 4th us veto a clear stain on the outgoing bite and administration that will endure in the holes of diplomacy. long after it's out of office gabriel's onto, i'll just see the united nations in new york is day $0.52. the style have as well as ground defensive until up. and then, ever since this wireless attacked thousands of buildings and tens of thousands of homes across the country, villages and residential neighborhoods have been damaged or destroyed. these by the army has been strengthening civilians to leave the homes of face attacks. more than 1200000 people across the country have now been displaced in the us. envoys who's trying to progress these 5 deal between israel and has the law has arrived in tel
10:12 am
aviv a most hawk staying says negotiations and making progress off the 2 days of poor looks and loving. and all the hash them has more from day rate. i was hosting 2nd day and day we would include a discussions with the needs officials, the us and voice appear cautiously optimistic not to break through could be a cheap end to conflict between as well as principal law. the meeting today built on the meeting yesterday. i made additional progress, so i will travel from here in a couple hours to israel, to try to bring this to a close if we can, if we can. the fox scene has no, that's for is read to address liberties reservations regarding the u. s. c. spot proposal as he deposited his will last secretary jennifer on the impulse and made
10:13 am
directv appearance of putting insight into a spot these position national style. i'm not having a lot of we received the c signed proposal and we sent out feedback which i us invoice should have received. we will wait for the results without feedback shows that we agree to indirect and negotiation. but we'll wait and see the results, and we cannot guarantee use these 5 soon. as long as israel is imposing its conditions, we want a full and comprehensive agreement with 2 conditions. a complete and to israel is aggression and labeled on and a full protection of living on 70 a cost and also besides his beloved readiness by protracted conflict, the wall i sold for clay more than 3500 lives with no signs of when it needs it resolution. the situation now rests with, as well as response to the us initial level understands that the cost will continue
10:14 am
with for the excessive basic countries. struggles wide ceasefire with mark. this focus is challenging phase of rebuilding the assessing physiological within levels political security. we actually went to 0. all right, let's crossover. now it is a nicole. this. you joins us from the roots insane. and maybe you can bring us up to speed with a line, but we're just getting here about more forced evacuation of this entire yes is really military in the past hour issue. a new evacuation orders for 3 areas, east of the coastal city of tire ahead of air strikes. yes, today the is really air force carried out a series of air strikes across the tire governor is killing at least 9 people and injuring 70 others. they focus on this sector. the western sector coincides with a push by is really ground forces in this corner of southern 11 on
10:15 am
what this is trying to do is make the site twice to make their way to a very strategic to known as the by your, the hills. so these error strikes really are about disrupting supply line, so that has the loss, cannot reinforce its troops and weapons in the corner. what's as well as trying to do is take control of the coastal road from the border, the border tide of not order to buy your dog and release from by your control the surrounding areas. and they will have the southern city of tire in. there's sites, they're already using artillery in this area. target. think that which means that there are tillery batteries are inside 11, not so this corner, really we are seeing a major battle for control, and that's why we are seeing now the focus of these air strikes in the western sector we heard is read the army chief of staff say yesterday,
10:16 am
our goal is to be able to return tens of thousands of residents to their homes in northern as well to be able to do that. they need to push has to follow back from the border and make it more difficult for rockets to reach those areas. while that seemed going on, we have the departure of us invoice from lab and what's the sentiment there upon his departure. as i see a diplomatic bill coming together well, there's makes us envoy, as though in israel, who will be meeting the prime minister benjamin not on yahoo later today. nobody's officials who met him are expressing cautious optimism. but we heard from hezbollah secretary general night as of yesterday say that the ball isn't as well as course we are, the outcome of this round. the stations will be determined by, by israel. the feeling here is that the 11 on has made concessions in the sense that it is putting on the tables and full implementation of un resolutions. 1701,
10:17 am
which means has specialized score to pull back from the border and is up and they are apparently agreeing to a us role in enforcing this this, this the resolution south of the tony river. what is not mentioned in this draft, these fire proposal is the disarmament of hezbollah. yesterday we heard this ready for interest, or say, any agreement should give us their rights to make sure that hezbollah does not receive weapons from iran, some serious. and we cannot allow with a to rearm. so you see there are still major sticking points. so this is a violation of the country sovereignties. last nights of israel resumed targeting, the southern suburb of babies issuing force evacuation orders there just after pups . they left the country and they are pushing in the eastern sector of south loveland on so you know, this shows in one way or another is that is, rose is still trying to put more military on pressure on level. not so there's
10:18 am
cautious optimism, but it doesn't look like that. we are a ceasefire. deals is eminence. thanks so much data. how does that invite route? let's continue this down bringing. i'm the idea and he's an associate professor of history at georgetown university in colorado and the specialist in the mountain at least could have you with us. so if we take a step back 1st and told about what's been happening in golf 0 dollar, we had almost a 100 people around the hundreds of people killed in the last just the last night of strikes in the north of gauze. and this comes off to the un security council file to issue a resolution is what we're seeing. the price of the us, vito? yeah, absolutely. i mean, i think, you know, when we look back at the last 14 months and in the course of this genocide and everything that's been unfolding and the, the repeated escalations that have been happening on the ground, including more horrific massacres and just recent days,
10:19 am
including the mass ethnic cleansing, of the entire northern part of guys. and now we've had, you know, is really declarations that they intend to occupy that territory if not actually subtle it. and this was something that, as we were called very early on, divided administration had stated that they would not support, right that this was, was seen. that's something that, that would even be too much of the, by the end of ministration. and yet, despite all of these revelations, what we've seen now is this attempt to, you know, continue to uh, grant, a green light for israel to continue to, to conduct itself. however, it wishes within guys that is of the 4th un security council. resolution that's been vetoed by the us. it's the 1st one in which it finds itself completely out. number $14.00, to $1.00, even its own allies, even allies like britain and france that have also played a role in the course of israel's genocide and gaza had supported this resolution for an immediate cease fire. and so in that sense, the united states finds itself further isolated and incapable of um, you know,
10:20 am
rally the kind of support that it perhaps it had earlier on. right. and we, we've had israel previously and now and something in january of this year that it had dislocated home us in the north of garza, are now fighting that and putting the north of gaza on the siege and this heavy bombardment. that's clearly climbing a lot of lives of women and children. what does this all trying to achieve in northern gauze? well, i think this is an important point is that we're see 2 things happening simultaneously. on the one hand, we're seeing catastrophic civilian pulse, right? we're seeing the mass destruction of territory that is meant to make all of gaza, essentially uninhabitable. i'm for, you know, for and for any survivors of this genocide going forward, we're trying to see, you know, the extent to which this ethnic cleansing will succeed without any real external intervention or even condemnation despite the fact that now we are seeing official declarations. and yet, on the other hand, of course,
10:21 am
the military goals have not been achieved right, that israel continues to face resistance 14 months and continues to declare some casualties and losses in a way that's would suggest that there's still continues to be resistance meeting his forces despite obviously, the, the catastrophic test tools among civilians throughout that, all right, and then shifting to lebanon. we've had the us and boy leave lebanon. i think he's meeting with the prime minister of israel today. well, can we expect, how does that do thing? well, unfortunately, it seems that, you know, most of what has, has occurred in terms of mediation, has simply been repeating as really demands. and again, israel has failed to achieve its military goals in southern lebanon. we've even seen reports from within these really pressed in terms of high casualty rate for is fairly forces in the south of lebanon. and yet, through these mediations are attempting to impose essentially what is a blank check to violate the sovereignty of loving on something that no faction within the entire loving these political classes, whatever accepts. and so this remains to be the main sticking point. the idea that
10:22 am
is real once on the one hand to cease far and yet the rights and ability and freedom to be able to either maintain a presence in southern loving on or be able to attack as it sees fit going forward . something that, of course, all of the political factions are in agreement the guns and which we haven't seen any mediation efforts to basically say this is not a workable or acceptable solution for either the continued violation of liberty states sovereignty. we've got a new us administration which will be taking over soon on the back or in the lead up to that we've had is ready to government ministers like both of those small. it's rich, just calling for the amex ation of the west bank admitted tre administration of gaza. is that what is ready? policy is probably going to go once the trump administration settles and well, that's certainly the ambition and it's, and it's one that's not simply part of, of a small friends within the is rarely political class, but it's actually quite white's right in terms of the support that it has in up to and including perhaps the prime minister himself. and so there seems to be an
10:23 am
acknowledgement that this incoming administration, especially everything that we've seen from many of the appointments that have already been announced as far as what the foreign policy, national security teams. that there's, that there's certainly as an appetite and a willingness to do this. now, what the international response will be, i think, is, is really critical here. this year we saw the i c j. in addition to its ruling on, on the part of the, of the accusations of genocide against those who has also ruled. that the occupation is a legal, that israel, if it hasn't withdrawn from the occupied territories in the next year, should face actual sanctions from the entire international body from the united nations itself. and so there is going to clearly be a confrontation over this question of between on the one hand israel in the us and on the other hand, much of the rest of the world. all right, thanks so much on the other end from georgetown university. thank you. so much the
10:24 am
now ukraine, reportedly $512.00 british made cruise missiles into rushes coast region on wednesday. it's the latest use of western weapons on russian targets and comes a day off. do you cry inside us? miss sauls, with washington's approval. president joe biden is also authorized, sending empty post to now mines to ukrainian forces. the kremlin is accusing washington of trying to prolong the war problem 5 going, holler is a defense and ministry on this joins us from moscow. good to have you with us. so problem with the deployment of us empty personnel mines in ukraine put the credit in government adults with its international obligations. first of all, the claim had to 1st signed the defied in 2005 of the october convention,
10:25 am
but bands and get personnel mines natural that they were besieging. ready dismantled be great amounts paying for from this. ready your times in the cold war, but when the conflict began, russia, of course, are the to the convention and uses land mines as does the united states from china and india after some other, some other countries. so, and then they began producing mines again. so they are already in the compliance for breach of treaty they're producing and using the bonds of this war for both sides are using them. but your opinion for us, why, and brain with different weapons, emissions cannot supply around why is because they, europe, everyone has signed up to the convention then. so there is no life master. so, and it's actually go to do it. united states can about to opinions, asked them they agree,
10:26 am
but that's how the things are going to sound right now. from a minute treat perspective, how much of a game changer with a deployment of this type of us, landline b my eyes are kind of more modern than those used by ukraine or russia or make shift to a different kind of explosive devices. the news maybe sparks of the world where there are conflicts. they sell this factory after several hours or several days and then can be got your collective be josh. but they, they're on both the last thing for the civilians, which was the main reason the base convention was signed by many countries. so this will be the, the use of american mines to some extent would make it some you're
10:27 am
less out for the hands of because the different the civilians as i can be rather minimal. americans also stipulated that these minds cannot be huge. the russian solid and the other, are they going to change the nature of the conflict in some areas where they deployed in any significant way? i don't think so. this going to have a lot of effect. so i'm gonna say, yes. mazda, more modern. um, better binds and then the not the threat to civilians, but your brain is already using minds brushes. you may find there's a lot of ordinary kinds of traditional mines around better on the battlefield. there's going to be a great problem, master of the, by the end is eventually add to the mind the whole parking area. all right, thanks so much. have a follow going, how that. joining us. a defense analyst c. u. s. government has fully asked for
10:28 am
a partial breakup of google. the department of justice is urging a federal judge to force the company to sell its chrome web browser. you know best off to a years long trial. a federal court ruled the tech john is running an illegal monopoly . the judge said the company has violated us anti trust laws by requiring small phone makers to install it. as the default search engine. google has promised to appeal, if approve the policies could have major implications for all the big tech firms, like apple, amazon, and mehta. only hepner, is an anti trust lawyer and seen the legal counsel for the american economic liberties project, joins me now from san francisco in the us. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, is google on the verge of some degree of breakup? yeah, well i think what we saw i filed this evening is the justice department's proposed
10:29 am
final judgement. and that will still need to be countered by google. and the court will have a hearing about it and ultimately approve some version of it. uh, so were a few steps away, but certainly this is a huge step in that direction and a really significant development in a case that we've been following for the better part of a decade. what would it mean for the search engine industry to our, you know, i think we would begin to see a lot more innovation starting to occur across that space. and you know, certainly this case was about how google had foreclosed access to key distribution channels. just as a, you know, a good reaches you through the delivery, you know, android and chrome or key distribution channels for google search. apple was a key distribution channel for a google search. you see youtube implicated here on device manufacturers, other browsers,
10:30 am
all of those search access points are going to be opened up the competition for other more innovative, different types of search engines and get, i think, as we see, artificial intelligence begin to change how people find information online, we're gonna look, we're going to see a lot more openness there as well. it listening to sounds like if you feel that google was engaging in some kind of favoritism support its businesses of the business of its partners. this is certainly, and you know, i'm not alone in that i, this has moved beyond the phase of allegations of federal court. i, in fact, 2 federal courts have determined that google has illegally maintained to monopolies across various business lines, including the search market search advertising and the distribution of apps on android phones. so google is unequivocally a monopolist that has really choked off competition and innovation in the spaces. so i'm actually optimistic that the path forward sees on unwinding of that monopoly
10:31 am
read. all right, interesting. what about the question of whether google has been politicized, and what would a breakup meaningful if we can call the narrative on certain sensitive issues? sure, i mean, no, i, i don't think that this is a partisan issue or a politicized issue. certainly anything in the news is going to be framed to that way. and you know, the fact of the matter is that for over a decade google has maintained an over 90 percent share of the search engine market that isn't durable monopoly. and that is not a political fact that that is how the market has been structured by google and its various business lines. it is a mass, extraordinary revenue and profits handsomely off it's monopoly. and while the pricing and my country is more of a different plane. so you hear from some pundits that if you google,
10:32 am
donald trump or you google a certain figure, that the type of information you guess is very slanted. would it break off of sure, it will provide us with more diversity in terms of the narrative on certain issues or not. do you think of so i think that's one of the metrics across which you'll see some innovation. how search results appear in a search engine. so yes, there might be a sort of political element to that. there's a market element to that. there's the phenomenon of paid add search results on top of a search page. all of that is where you're going to start seeing some differentiation between browsers. and so, so certainly that's possible. all right, and what is this then mean for good was relationship with apple? well, you know, one of the facts that emerged during this trial is that google has had an exclusive
10:33 am
placement across every single apple device. and for the better part of a decade or longer and it pays over $20000000000.00 to maintain that at that contract. and that is a core distribution channel. so might argue it's the most important and contract controlling how information flows across the internet. and the proposal that we're seeing from the justice department calls for an end to that contract. so google would no longer be able to lock up in the search engine market on apple iphones. and that would open that access point up to potentially other search engines that might cause an apple to develop and roll out its own search engine, which is something that was rumored to be in development a decade ago, right before and entered into this arrangement with google so i think we're going to start seeing a big shakeup between google and apple as well. all right,
10:34 am
thank you so much. good to have your thoughts. li happened to that from the american economic liberties. projects. probably going to be here. as i said, i had on this house, is there a news out international criminal court jails. the form ahead of an a find that link group for its tribes in northern mom and will be live in colombo for the opening session of shoreline. cuz newly elected parliament, the how are we got some good weather, cold weather, winter weather across much of europe. now you can see this large area cloud, hey, this came from last that tongue the really cold winds bloss again from the atlantic and making really good progress that'll sink his wife or the south. what's nice for us as we go through the next couple of days, one thing to watch out for over the next title. so if you go into the weekend based system here,
10:35 am
it will bring much model revery and from the atlantic it will bring wet weather and windy weather, but it will tend, moder ahead of that is the smaller than the wintry showers across the bridge. shells pushing down across the mount shelf, continental europe, some heavy snow that is coming in across the out. northern areas of italy. i'm not cold. yeah, that makes its way all the way across into that west, inside of rush, just a single fingers with about 3 full 2 or 3 degrees, the full many weather slides this way and across some areas of the front into northern spain and portugal mold in areas of italy, and that's what we're going to continue pushing his wife by the south with denise which as we go through friday, that's not what we do. whether to come for the weekend ahead of that more chris power in place. lots of hard for us to walk chapel. the sparkling sunshine memo when sunshine across

10:43 am
please crack down, people are struggling. we are going to go to a new putting all our lives and then only book hang my hold of says international mining companies left behind, gaping mine shots until the to those lines. which, how about profit the way, the way i did? yeah, i live in so nicely closing in the immunization countries to, for of, to, and the movie, what are we going to do? would end up going down there so that we can have something to eat. if the government can just come to the party. so that we can do this thing according to the law in the safe weeks, so that we can prevent loose of legs. the rescue operation could take days. everyone's waiting to find out how many people are still on the ground, and how many of them are still alive. malcolm web address era, still fontaine to south africa. and malcolm web joins us now live from still fontaine. so malcolm, 1st of all,
10:44 am
when we expect seen the government rescue efforts to stop and try and get those people out the exact same and say, hey, right now we've seen some minutes you style tense. i think next to the saw for the shots and the people involved in the operation of told us that the equipment that will be used to bring people up from the shaft is doing fabricated off site coatings and measurements taken here. so. so i'm kind of crating and so i'm kind of out of a to re expect to see people here in the coming hours. meanwhile, there are hundreds, possibly thousands of people below the ground that according to the wildly varying estimates. and we just don't know what kind of condition that going to be in a, according to some people in the community that they haven't had access to food for about 2 months since police started standing. got this, many of the mind shocked to use by the informal mind as the in this area. if indeed the be no food supplies for 2 months, we'd expect few survivors, others in the police and so on. say that as we still in the story,
10:45 am
the people down there according to them, are refusing to come up with a network of tunnels on the here, it's very difficult to know what level they are actually interconnected. if that has been any access to food or water or not, and we don't even know really to what level of choice those people have had and whether they can come up or not. one thing we do, you know, it certainly impossible to climb up that shaft. it's got smooth, concrete sides. the only way you can get up and down is if someone pulls you up and down with the right, we're not of a so i won't quite is the consequences. legal consequences might they be facing, say, all rescued if they say that, that will be arrested and charged has been describing them as criminals and take a look at these police then. yeah, which belongs to the government's will to place a leasing mining unit. so this uh, well for ration begun nearly
10:46 am
a year ago. it's been stepped up considerably in the last 3 months with the government and the police frequently describing informal minors as uh, criminals. but we have spoken to lawyers about this. there is no offense of specifically illegals mining or less and by elicit mining. and lawyers explained that the uh, in full mine is, uh could be uh, held liable for pest defense is such as handling very small amounts of, uh, minerals without a license. uh, but nothing uh the, the, the lowest level for the individuals that could actually attract uh, criminal charges. now this is aside from the wide united involvement of criminal gangs in the legal mining industry in south africa, which is flourished a decades. and everyone's waiting to see if they'll be progress from the prosecutors on going off there and taking to cool people. they've been involved in this business at the highest level of making millions of dollars every year,
10:47 am
from gold and other minerals, it'd be mind and legally, and then enter the legal, legitimate supply chain and, and reached international markets. but we didn't know regards to the people underground. if indeed, there are a gang boss is controlling this is mind holding people at gunpoint or if it's just people from the local community desperate to make a living. and that's one of the things we're going to find out if, when they do manage to bring the people up. the other bind shops nearby when they pulled up hundreds or over the last few months, thousands of what the government calls illegal. mine is many of them being foreigners, they've been charged immigration crimes and, and deported back to neighboring zimbabwe on those. i'm think i'm, i know it saves a minimum from this area and we know that we're not aware of any of them actually facing criminal charges. all right, thanks so much malcolm web the shrine,
