11:05 am
stopped the dialogue for the transition roadmap with would he be able to convince everybody to be on board? we have to wait and see how shame it's always great to have you all and thank you very much. that social 0 is awesome. i have are from the syrian capital mohammad vol is in homes and he has the latest on the situation in serious 3rd largest city . it looks like a normal city. it's a functioning city. you can see the traffic behind me. people are unhappy, people are smiling. even though the presence of security forces he is minima, minimum, you can't even see them organizing the traffic. the topic is going on its own and people are doing their business as usual. and we've talked to a few of them after a while ago they told us, i mean look at the city and the people are disciplined. they are civilized, they can, they can even function without the government. there is talk of some pretty crime
11:06 am
in the streets during the night enough to the level that you can expect in a place like this far so. so i can all of that city. huge place and someone told me, look, if this is in brazil to far as those, you'll see a different scenario. you'll see people be killed this 3, it's on so on. and the dogs, you know, that burglary and so on and in broad daylight, what this city is functioning and people are happy. yes. there are many lot of still on the ties tia because of what happens because this is the 1st city in syria about how most killing awful testers, just swell behind me. and people know that they talk about it. so there is a high symbolism for homes and people who haven't progressing dots. the united nations is warning that the scale of the humanitarian crisis in syria has
11:07 am
not changed despite the political situation. that you and under secretary for humanitarian affairs, an emergency release says 8 operations are slowly resuming, including a level homes and damascus health care services have all been collapsed in syria after 13 years of civil war as well as corruption and mismanagement. the world health organization says that ensuring services during the transition period is crucial, since many facilities are damaged, overwhelmed and under funded st. ahold of reports from a hospital in damascus. this hospital is a lifeline for syrians who can't afford to pay for health care. yet it doesn't have the resources to cope with the hundreds of patients who seek treatment every day. we are in the emergency room of the main government hospital in damascus. some come from the countryside because many of serious health facilities have been damaged by war. i'm offering myself and myself,
11:08 am
there are no purple hospitals includes. there is no infrastructure in that. it was never rebuilt since the regime recapture that this is a little over half of the serious hospitals remain functional according to the world health organization. and there's a chronic shortage of medical stuff experience doctors and nurses have left the country. those here say they can't survive on their earnings equivalent to $20.00 a months. there were some very, very difficult for us as of the, because of the how much money we owned, as long as the hospital is also under funded by sams, shows us radiology equipment on it's about to say that was here before he was 1st employed in 1997, a lot of the medical apparatus don't work because there are no spare parts of the ship. see. and he, he bought on we like the basics like gloves, syringes,
11:09 am
antiseptic, little books. and of course we like machinery more stuff. we also like stuff because at least 30 to 40 percent don't show up easy to low pay, nothing to the model, bomb and above and this off. this is where people in critical conditions are taken . doctors here tell us lives have been lost because of the lack of a central's mohammad can barely speak, but he insisted on talking to us that he explained how he needs medicine and tests which are not available here on the and he needs money. 90 percent of the population is poor. one of the challenges that the new administration in syria is to continue to provide services to the population as it tries to transition the country for more than half a century of rule under the outside families. the world health organization says this is critical. it warns this cannot be done without the help of international donors. the new rulers inherited a country and ruins with
11:10 am
a shattered infrastructure and destroyed economy. what's the matter? how does it have a set of what we have reached actually to bring water under a lot of pressure? we just don't have a budget to upgrade our services as i'm going out of the images that come out of this hospital show the critical state of serious health care where live saving medicine is a luxury. and this facility is considered to be among the best this hospital story is just one example of the scale of human suffering in syria. and the challenges facing its new rulers center for their elders either damascus. the report by expanding to national has details what it says or israel's tactics to start palestinians in gaza. it is accusing it of intentionally blocking a delivery to northern gaza. oxfam says of the meagre,
11:11 am
$34.00 trucks of food and water allowed to enter north casa over the last 2 and a half months. deliberate delays and systematic obstructions by the is really military meant that just 12 managed to distribute aid, starving palestinian civilians with finality is the policy lead in the occupied palestinian territories and israel for ox them. i spoke to her just a moment ago and she described the extent of desperation, palestinians, and gaza face a decision doesn't really. it's just nothing sort of an apple village nightmare. i mean there's no other way of describing this. families are literally rummaging through rubbish for scraps of food. they are boiling leaves in order to survive on and we're, we're, we're seeing a parent skipping meals to skip these of meals so that their children can eat my family itself. they're not even in a north of guys, are there in the south of gaza and please, i mean note that the entire gaza strip is facing acute moment. attrition is it is
11:12 am
at the brink of starvation. there pumpkins a farm and dislike and the noise where the situation is dramatically worse. but where i've been told by my brother in law himself that they're asking the kids not to play. because otherwise they'll get disease because they think they're not receiving enough food. they're not eating enough, they're not drinking, you know, i mean, imagine having to ask your 5 year old toddler to stop horsing around and something around. well, already oldest death and destruction is happening around them, and they're traumatized by the peers. you know, sort of showing constance out of showings and roles and comforters. but on top of that, they're not allowed to play. and, you know, find an inch, an ounce of imagination in their, in a terrible lives. because they're not eating enough. i mean, this is the situation that we're talking about today. so people are, are surviving. we don't even know we've lost a lot of contact with people in the north as well. um and, and then if they do receive aid, they're jumping on the truck like desperate people and, and you know, i mean it's just for me as opposed to me is absolutely heartbreaking. to see my community this desperate like in,
11:13 am
in the space of 14 months. you've rendered an entire population star being homeless, displaced, destitute, absolutely destitute and desperate. but yeah, you know, with incredible resilience, um, that, you know, shouldn't that we shouldn't be expected to see from such a community. a desperate rescue efforts are underway in southern guys often is really drone strike. he tends housing displace palestinians. at least 7 people were killed when fires broke out after the attack on the was the west of hon. you and this is really military has been carrying on strikes in the area killing at least 4 people in 2 separate attacks. its forces have repeatedly attacked on the wasi. now almost the stretches, the 12 kilometers. so let's look at the map 12 kilometers long guys, us coast, starting from the western areas of darrow bella and central gaza. down to find newness and rough on in the south is really authorities designated on the wasa humanitarian zone about a year ago and forced hundreds of thousands of palestinians to go there. view and
11:14 am
estimates that more than 1000000 people are now sheltering in overcrowded and flimsy tents in the area without access to critical services. l 0 is honey. my hood is in darrow by line. central gas that honey, what have you learned about these attacks on the wasi? the seller, the beer. these are part of ongoing attacks across the gas or the fact that we've, we've seen in the past few days, the surgeon, the talk them is all the talks about. it put things on seeds fire, but the attack continue. and the seemed to be concentrated once in the northern part of this trip, as the operation continues the ground offensive can do that. but also here, the use of a drones is a quite visible and he really deformed by those really military laws. evacuations on work, people have been shouldering good for a hold of you have endured many of these unpredictable attacks on their 10 side. not only were seeing these attacks causing further civilian casualties,
11:15 am
that according to the people inside these evacuation zones, the, i would was there, those are 5, the attacks stroke about the, the aftermath of them not feeling safe enough. and then that moving to another area that is also not safe for them and their children. so the aftermath is pushing more people in the 1st their internal displace mendoza survive. the past are traumatized in dc childers around the vicinity of hospital. what we learned from one surviving family is moving has been near mid and also medical complex, just hoping that it will be much safer than a loss evacuation zone. but that has been proven to be an accurate because the hospital also attack deliberately by it is really monetary 7 people to from one family, including one of their in laws who was in the 10th when the attack happens to other attacks within a span of couple hours on vehicles inside of mos evacuations on one vehicle was gary displaced. individuals moving from one can get side to another. the other
11:16 am
vehicle was carrying a security person out law enforcement from the local community, securing the delivery of humanitarian trucks. designated point on the coast of road of a loss. evacuations are on a separate attack. we are on the site right refuge account where this food was surrounded by many of the clock captors into heavy artillery. at least 2 people were adults and z as a talk around the vicinity of the sports. there's also a tent sites. there was a cock by the quite coffee honey mountain road reporting from darrow baba from inside the gaza strip. thank you very much. i the is really prime minister has arrived the tel aviv court for the 5th day and his long running corruption trial. benjamin netanyahu is accused of bribery fraud and breach of trust. if convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison. now he denies any wrong doing, describing the charges as absurd. the zeros hemmed us. oh, who does in the jordanian capital amman covering this because the is really
11:17 am
government has banned else 0 from reporting in israel and in the occupied westbank . so i'm to brief us on this, try where we are in the proceedings and how dangerous this could be for now. you know, well sarah, this is the 5th day that need to know who will testify. and proceedings actually began early because nothing yahoo has to be at these really parliament before 4 pm when they do close the sessions. indic knesset. but this morning there was a letter that was released by the state attorney's office. and it comes after a couple of weeks ago, there were some judges at the jerusalem district court, who expressed concern over the charges that were being pressed against benjamin netanyahu. however, the state attorney's office says that even if nothing, yahoo wasn't directly involved in these crimes. he did have a awareness about it and he did know about it. so the state attorney's office and the prosecutors are arguing, but nothing yahoo did know about the situations behind the scenes,
11:18 am
even though he denies any wrong doing. now this is a trial that could take months if not years before we get a verdict. and even if nothing y'all who was convicted, he could appeal that conviction and still be prime minister during that appeal. okay, how is he handling this politically? what's his reaction been so far as well as in yellow and members of his far right coalition have said this is a smear campaign against the premier. he's repeatedly called the charge is absurd, denying any wrong doing since the beginning. but you have to remember, this isn't something that happened yesterday. this is 8 years in the making and 5 years ago is actually when these charges were brought against nothing. y'all, who in the indictment but nothing y'all who maintains his innocence, the 1st time that he did testify, he said that he's been waiting these 8 years to tell the truth, the prosecution and the state attorney's office say otherwise. they say that nothing yahoo was involved in these crimes which include bribery which include
11:19 am
corruption which include accepting gifts. so netanyahu says that he has to do his job as prime minister and maintaining a war on 7 different fronts. he says, but he says that he can do both. he could both stand trial and be the prime minister. and remember, there were a couple of times when he was testifying, where they actually have to call a recess because he had to take some sort of security calls and make decisions as the premier. but surely an unprecedented moment in history for israel's longer serving premier some the somewhat reporting from amman. jordan, thank you. are still a head on alpha 0? i'm how did you, castro, with the grand key ballet company of ukraine touring the us in hopes of winning more americans support under a 2nd at trump presidency the a meeting of minds unless we think deeper and ask people questions of what spanish
