12:13 pm
these are good things we want to we, we welcome this type of rhetoric, but we have, you know, actions have to meet words as well. so we're going to continue to work with the groups that we have relationships with. again, our focus is that these chemical weapons do not fall into the wrong hands. the us says it is broken. a truce between 2 groups of fighters and no of them. syria, attackers back, sorry, a national army said is it taking control of us if you have mom beads from the serene democratic forces? i was, there has been shown the local hospice, whole west sites as a receiving medical help, as well as what's being discovered beneath the building. as i've been to, i've had reports from men, beach hours of the kurdish via forces agreed to leave the fusion city of mount beach in the syria to expect as an a fight. as we're being treated in the local hospital. they're here, it's by just told us that the hospital was also being used as a detention center. our train of blood can be seen going through this quarter door towards a network of tunnels, according to f in a fight, as there are multiple networks of tunnels that they have found under the city of

12:19 pm
an agency for palestinian refugees, condemning a new is ready know the bombs, the organization goes on to has more from the un in new york at an emergency special session of the un general assembly, an over whelming show of support by the majority of the nations of the world. 158 member states of the un voting in favor of a ceasefire in guys, a notably italy and germany, 2 countries that have previously abstained. those in favor of draft research and 159 voting to support and defend the u. n. release and works agency for palestinian refugees. notice unreal. israel is trying to destroy while both resolutions are non binding, they send a powerful message. justice must be subbed and improving the t must and israel is continuing with the genocide. nevertheless,
12:20 pm
it is continuing to use this tab. you should know i'm assuming and see the ends is refundable. all guys are doesn't exist anymore. it is destroyed palestinian instead of facing hunger despair and death. we haven't had it before. histories, the harshest critic of connections and histories being written as receive here today. the votes here in the general assembly come a little over 2 weeks since the united states blocked a guy's a ceasefire resolution in the security council. it was the 4th time the united states blocked a guy's a ceasefire resolution. that's something that was not lost on many member states. he's 3 films, remember who failed to act on who's to do on the side of peace. the us again voted against both
12:21 pm
a ceasefire and the resolution supporting unrra. both of these resolutions have significant problems. one rewards from us and down place the need to release the hostages. and the other integrates israel without providing a path forward to increasing humanitarian assistance to palestinian civilians. but the us stand almost alone after the vote, ambassadors upper hand shakes and hugs the palestinian envoy. a clear victory for palestine in the holes of diplomacy. gabriel's on to out you see here at the united nations in new york. and it's really a tax across cars that have killed thousands of palestinians since don't on 1st day of a nice and try and strike on a convoy in the south of the strip kills of these 16 people, volunteers and security personnel amongst the dead one security fight into the as a full is cross to retreat away from the trucks. several humanitarian aid convoys

12:23 pm
talk almost finances and infrastructure. i'll think claiming that civilians one beforehand on the grounds. the reality for more than 2000000 people living in the district is brutally different. men not couldn't, was sleep and has family as full story home. when is reading sheil lew? wait a box in the middle of the night. hayden, i am the sole survivor in my family. israel targeted our house without warning. they killed my parents and siblings. my grandmother is taking care of me now. want to coordinate me whenever i was sleeping when the attack happened and i found myself in the hospital later. one tactic widely used by the usability military use a so called rule smoking strike, what smoke explosive destruct as a wanting
12:24 pm
a head of an attack posted in say you dismissed, it creates panic, making evacuations dangerous. um can you take additional sleep in the day? the heart of the vast majority of tax with carried out without warning. in some cases, the military dropped drawn massages on building roof tops to wound people. this causes significant damage, which in stock violation of international low risk, you want to say the only number of civilians being targeted and to show as well. so cold warnings, a phone and for propaganda. the whole voice it, it, it is, it is, is there any forces, usually target humanitarian zones and homes. they sometimes use miss out as a warning for civilians. these attacks lead to a sharp increase in the humanitarian told. in other cases, they target density populated areas without warning, many who survive as well as a tax left to matoney. this is old that remains of a neighborhood that wasn't struck without any warning. of the lack of saved zones
12:25 pm
means that even when the swelling up shoot civilians are effectively trapped with no chance of survival at old car comprising i'll do 0 very by postponing to have it all most right. as professor at the institute for graduate studies and joins us again here in the student along with good to have you back. so you got the nice makes the general assembly to moms and a cease fire talks all on the way in cairo. how productive as this round proving to be. yeah, so i mean, we've been here before, right, for the better part of a year or actually more than a year. um these, these fire negotiations have been on again off again and not to go into the my new show. but basically there have been 2 major sticking points. and one is that how mass is demanding has consistently demanded a permanent end to the war. whereas israel wants to be able to continue the war after the end of a temporary cease fire. the other major sticking point is that israel wants to be able to remain in gaza, whereas from us wants them out. they want it,
12:26 pm
they want to complete is really withdrawal. what seems to be happening here if these reports are accurate and a wall street journal reported on this is that from us looks like it's maybe willing to bend. so israel has kind of want that it's cake and it, it wants to eat it to, it wants to moan the captives back, but it wants to be able to have the right to continue to war. and it wants to maintain a presence, how mass it appears has been kind of backed into a corner here. and maybe this is a bet on, on donald trump. but they look like it looks like if these reports are accurate, that they're willing to allow a uh, at least the temper is really presence in gaza. and um, you know, there is no guarantee here that the war would, would defend permanently, you know, the heads of most of the c i a how much leads of course. also how soon is i'm in g . has a sense arrived on wednesday. what's the significance of all of these players being that at this time? yeah, i mean, i, you know, the most odd leader here, you have a slow mach yod involved. now,
12:27 pm
so i do think there's significant momentum. i'm usually quite pessimistic. i've been in this chair many times over the past the past. we've had this conversation you and i and i usually been pessimistic. um, but i think in this case because it honestly israel's getting kind of what it wants . and i think the question here is why would come as agreed to this and that i think it might be kind of a bet on donald trump. i i, that's speculation on my part. but they may figure that with a 60 day ceasefire, which is what's being reported. so it might be too difficult for israel to restart the bombing campaign at the end of that 60 day period. and that maybe donald trump wouldn't like that so much. so how much interest to me might be placing it back on donald trump. okay, i'm not sure. we'll leave it after the moment. many things in date for joining us here on site. well, south careers, preston june. so fuel has promised to fight to the end against impeachment in a televised address. the in bottle visa provided the 1st accounts get of
