[000:00:00;00] the the the hello, i'm real about this and this has been lose our lives from dell hawk coming up in the next 60 minutes. guys as war boss of rafa crossing is reopening to evacuate. some of the most urgent medical cases stuck inside the strip. the only woman serving in the cabinet of sylvia's new government speaks to all g 0 fears grove for civilians in democratic republic of congo. as

a one done by the rebel group expands its temperature and investigators in the us recover blank boxes from thursdays, mid air collisions near washington killed 67 people by far as smile with this. 4th, it's round is read versus manchester city and the european champions league, the way up to all took place in switzerland, the winters who advanced to the last 16 the . the rough i bought of crossing between egypt and gaza is reopening for the 1st time in 8 months, as part of the cx, 5 deal between thomas and israel. it serves as a lifeline for palestinians and the strip who'd been living under and as many land air and sea blockade for 18 years. for now, the crossing is going to be used only for medical evacuations. the world health

organization says 50 patients will be allowed to leave for treatment abroad. on saturday, the crossing was seized by these really military in may, and it was destroyed during his grand defensive that killed hundreds of palestinians in the area. its closure has prevented thousands of people from leaving the strip and receiving desperately needed aid. european union has restarted civilian admission to monitor the border crossing and facilitate the transfer of wounded palestinians. not admission was initially set up in 20 o 5 to help palestinians in gaza, but it was suspended on how much to power in 20 o 7. can i also find out little, what's his own thoughts? european union civilian board emission begins today at the crossing points at the request of the palestinians. and these writings, this mission will support tell us to the importer officials and allow people to be transported out of gaza, including those in need of medical care. got so got it, got those reports from con eunice in the southern gaza. the opening of roof are

crossing the current size of the day of the we is well and how much will have important significance for palestinians who are expected to be evacuated, says tomorrow. busy to egypt to receive medical treatments, clauses, hospitals have been widely overwhelmed with different kinds of injuries, including i'm 2 types. sions, funds, ad complex tro about that cannot be treated locally. so for palestinian, when the people who are expected to be depart the who are expected to leave casa tomorrow, this step has seen as a lifeline for them following the de station and the dissemination taken. let that have taken place that has taken place, of course, because of strips valley function of hospitals for palestinians right now. this is a very crucial step that will help them to receive a treatment approved and to mitigate the ongoing compression on the cause of

suffering from furniture to just all the cute and medical supplies that started recently to access. because the strip, the lights of the currency supply agreements, target cup assume l g 0. can you and us, published by as it was, was devastated guys us health system was repeated. i'm deliberate attacks targeting hospitals, stuff and patients. most facilities have been damaged beyond you send the need for medical evacuations is greater than ever. more than a 111 fighters and palestinians are injured across garza 12 and a half 1000 of them need to travel for urgent treatment. at least 25000 children have been wounded some with a reversible conditions. more than 12000 cancer patients are facing the risk of death because of acute shortages of supplies. and at least 1000000 children require immediate mental health and psychological support. i'm talking about how much the quote is, the director general of hospitals and the gaza strip. and he spoke to us from con, units about the urgent need for medical evacuations,

especially for cancer patients. the situation is very difficult to the patients and the ends of people, and we have more than 100 thousands of injured patients during the war. and most of that in the middle of the this number of dish. and so kind of to see that because the service bill because of the water and the the, the, into the alien that all the time. i mean, the whole speaker understood all years to the health system. and we have to imagine get 3000000 off without a more trust because we're so we did the least all of the essence cases regarding the tiffany physical key, the working goals, the day by day and the receiving the, the, from the help of the for the as and the kids that finding the disease in close fighting the cases and the t, we have no other to more than 6,

thousands of and very as and vision. so a need for executive ation and the treatment. so 5, because is the treatment is not available. most of them uh severely is due to the most of them, a gunshot cancer patients and the specialities the which is the 3. but the facility is not available here in the video and still isn't body fit on more than 6000. and the other 25000 remaining for the 60 it shouldn't be. and it's about the case of the vehicles and the need over 3 because side to get the dr. james smith is an emergency physician who worked in guys a prior to this. he's fine, he's joining me not from london. so thank you very much indeed for being with us. when we will talk to talking to doctors that could, he was also outlining the process that the medical teams are having to go through

to draw up short list of people to get the medical evacuation and treatment. one can only imagine how difficult it must be for medical stuff to be able to pull together those names out of the thousands of people who are desperately need needing a aid. yeah, absolutely, i mean, and as, as you mentioned, to the, the, the number of people that are in need currently of medical evacuation outside of casa, a number in the 10s of thousands. the process of prioritizing which patients most urgently need evacuation is an almost impossible task. i mean, the model weights of having to make those very difficult choices is, is, is incredibly difficult for, for, for the people working within the health care system that are managing this process . at the moment, there are thousands of people who should be in that 1st cohort of individuals to be evacuated outside of casa. but as we know, as things currently stand,

the maximum number of people that we believe are likely to be able to move across the roof of crossing number about $250.00 people per day. and at that rate, it would take several months. so simply to process from a logistical point to view the number of individuals but currently needs evacuation outside of gaza. and if i understand the process correctly they, the lists are all good. also going to be vantage and by i, i believe either is there any military or people working on behalf of these really military? so there is a possibility that somebody who is in desperate need of, of medical aid at justifiably, may not get through because it is a suspicion surrounding their name or their identity. absolutely, and this is the case. this is always being the case with respect to the movement of people into and out. so i've got the list of individuals, be very palestinian nationals be the patient. so by way, thing like saving treatments be they humanitarian workers or health care work,

cuz the names on those lists are always screened. and vantage by these ready intelligent services. and as you say, it's entirely possible that someone, that, for whatever reason has raised suspicion would then be removed from that list or denied exits. for those who are, for those thousands who are being left behind or waiting to see if they're going to be allowed to be evacuated, what kind of treatment or the medical and stuff in guys are able to provide with some serious cases. and i think this is a really critically important question. and so far as the evacuations of course are urgent, unnecessary, but they should not be progressed in the isolation and i, i to at the expense of efforts to rebuild and re invigorates the policy and health care system, which prior to october of 2023, which was in a pretty robust state,

despite the constraints imposed upon it by the longstanding is ready to occupation . so these things must move in tons and the evacuation of patients that need immediate medical and surgical care at the same time rebuilding and reinvigorate seen the processing and health care system and gaza. because as you, as you relate to the, the, the current circumstances such that service delivery, particularly for most specialist problems is incredibly limited in gaza. lack of access to the necessary medication, a lack of access to the necessary specialist. many seen the health care work is in the the costs and health workforce have been killed or detained. the remaining health workforce, of course, is completely exhausted at a very small number of palestinian healthcare facilities in gaza, remain functional, even partially so. so. so all of these things need to change in order to be able to deliver it even as a basic level of care for, for those 2 point,

one time guys and still still in the, in the gaza strip. i obviously as part of the cease fire agreement at 8 has been delivered into guys that we have seen a succession of trucks making their way through parts of the off across and suddenly across the southern border it into gaza. i know that you were in contact with colleague colleagues and a pretty daily basis. so tongue be still working in gaza. what kind of indication are they giving you whether or not there's a that they're getting is actually of any practical use to them you. i mean the amount of age that his entering sole spot far below the level of need and guys are currently and even when a end says of course, the remaining questions with respect to the distribution within garza getting essential supplies up to the north of gaza for example is proving very difficult. we know that approximately half a 1000000 palestinians have moved back towards casa city in the north of gaza from the south. in recent days, many of those people are attending to the russell that was wants that homes. there

is no comprehensive humanitarian. this is a programming in those areas at the moment. so we're talking about basic shelter, access to clean water, nutritious foods, and of course. but for that service provision to continue. there was a major humanitarian deficits in gaza over the course of the last 15 months at, by virtue of the fact that these ready occupation had denied access for, for essential humanitarian goods. so it will take weeks of having the board is open and 24 separate and simply to bring in the most basic commodities to, to meet those pressing on. and frankly, live saving needs. dr. james smith, we appreciate you talking to us and i'll just say this, sir, thank you very much. indeed for your time. the ministry ring of hamas as an ounce. the names of 3 is ready, captive set to be released on saturday. they are off. i called the wrong keith siegel and y'all didn't leave us. the captives are going to be released as part of

a ceasefire agreement between israel and thomas in exchange for palestinian prisoners held in his way to jail. so honda, so who is joining us? not from jordan's capital i'm on and that's because these really government, i'm kind of standing the authority of bond or does it for reporting in israel and the occupied westbank. let's talk about the b is really captive, so we're going to be released. what more do we know about them? at least 3 men are to be released. one is a dual us citizen, the 2nd a dual french citizen, and those men are both over the age of 50. then you have yada in the bus and he, his wife, cheery and their 2 children, fear and arial have become a focal point for the bring them back now movement and for greater. the greater is really public rather who has been protesting for their release. now initially i must have given a list of captives to mediators. it was $33.00 names to be released within the 1st

space. then israel said that $25.00 of those captives are alive. an 8 are deceased . it's still unclear exactly who among the $33.00 is deceased, but none the less time us is releasing a man who is 35 years old. this was supposed to be the time for him and over the age of 50. so it's going to be received with a lot of sensitivity in his role as people are still protesting for the return of his wife and 2 children. honda, let's talk about what's gonna happen tomorrow because let me just ask you how you think this is going to play out. the reason i'm asking is because of course, when we saw the scenes, particularly on units of the release of one of these really captains, the one of the women who was released in con eunice on thursday. the whoa, huge crowds arriving to benjamin netanyahu reactive very strongly to that. you said the street scenes were shocking. do we have any indication about how this is going to be? what the timeline, what the situation is going to be like on saturday, as well?

if we don't exactly know how this is going to play out, this is part of the deal here, where there are a lot of unknowns we expect for some of the captives to be released either in, in the north or the south. but both of them actually will see the release of capt is both in hum, eunice and in northern dogs are but unclear who and how many captives will be released in each place. now benjamin netanyahu had sent a message to mediators saying that until israel can get guarantees about the safety of the captives during these release, until the israel can get guarantees. the crowds like this won't happen again. it's and yahoo had completely paused the release of the palestinian prisoners who were said to be freed from is rarely jails. and tomorrow we're looking at 9. the prisoners who will be released in exchange for those 3 is really captive. but these rallies were quite clear that they did not want to see, seems like that, that they said were shocking. and these really armies of that they hold him as fully responsible for the safety of captives. but again,

it's unclear how this is gonna play out because there are thousands of people who have been watching these releases. but in some units, it was a little bit more chaotic, less organized than what we saw in japan. you know, with the release of these really soldier, but it's really difficult to tell how this is going to play out the day in advance from them. and that's kind of the hoops. thank you very much. indeed. 100 is based, palestinians have returned to the north to parks in their 1st friday prayers and guys as largest and oldest most all just need is honey mama. once the great amadi mosque and gaza city has been severely damaged by is really strikes. as we all know, caused the call for free or the i down here at the law. murray was one of the oldest mos in gaza strip that has been destroyed by this reading military. it's a landmark, it's coming from the duncan era. and as you can see, it has turned into a pile of grub line, despite the destruction and the station closet this land mark, i have

a religious sites in the gaza strip. people are born into this form prayer. this is the 2nd friday for your congregation for people. 2 at this site and for the past 50 months, nobody has been able to come to the mock. and it's the 1st for your congregation, for people displays coming from the south and returning to their phones. and just what caught our attention is that the fridays are given right now. the cause for resilience, for uh, uh, or offers more of a support masses to people return to the northern part of distribute such as on many of the aspects that have been left by these the past 15 months by the genocidal acts on the ground. and what was, you know, more and more of these messages that calls for the resilience because for the social support for people in mind,

each other as seen more people are coming off to perform prayer on friday by the gentleman in general. we came back to northern garza city from the song and we were shocked by the destruction i didn't recognize the most and then. but i'll have to and i should, i have initials not, to be honest. i'm heartbroken by the destruction that i saw in this most today. i told him, i said people use the flux of the space for more around the cause of hopefully we can rebuild it as with egypt. and one of the things that this mosque offer, not all, is just the opportunity for people to come in to feed their so solid. the prayer is the library that it hasn't houses, an ancient library with it's historical collections of many of the manuscripts and, and books inside this library here and offers an opportunity for people to sit down and read and feed their souls and feed their spits search reality with many of the interesting writings and books,

this is what is left of from this library. and they were collected, as we were told of from the court yard of the mosque for many displays, palestinians returning to their homes in gauze on the northern part of this trip. the war and gauze has not only destroyed the physical outlook of the strip, but it has also deprived statement from feeding their souls that is fritz reality in a proper way. places like only mos represented, the spiritual lands mark for hundreds of 1000 palestinians regularly come in each of friday to perform prayer, honey. more from what else is eda from inside the luminary marketing garza city. palestine by the syrians and northern guys. have find them in time neighborhoods reduced to rubble by is really bombardment and the homes they would have returned to destroyed. this is the story of one palestinian mother in law. and as you and i'm in the general and i love that. and then again, uh, where

a guy with the a commended mass you live. so how does you know, manage has yeah. well issue. i know. yeah. push my son additionally. yeah. i'm like everyone. yeah, i'd love to share my zach. this is shaquanna. yeah. this is for me. yeah. yeah. and the member of mine for look good. yeah. and this is josh the most compatible on a shipment. going to stand in what has a minute and nobody has. yeah. they don't mess done. is you milligram of them on the? yeah. and so the ma benefits are so i'm in my gosh, what up your how yeah. this how yeah. yeah. now she and the more likely, oh well, i'm a new i'm the man, ask them in the how much stuff the much the apple kind of a not when i'm not late. i have that much to share. yeah. well, no emotion. i've seen kevin about that hand. yeah. and i can't find him is at

a given the hadn't do i have now. how did not know got a show on there and skip the log in. okay. and the can for them not just hold on. no lines for them. yeah. name according to how to bump a while back. the sure cool. yeah. but it should be just like in the name up. i'm out of line for them. or 9 countries have joined forces to hold israel accountable for violating international law. the group includes bolivia, chillik, malaysia, colombia, and south africa. it says that condemns israel's genocide in god's them individually . they each already taken action against israel. they blocked is really ships cox diplomatic ties or recalls ambassadors. south africa brought the case to the i, c j. that's the international court of justice, accusing israel of genocide. now it was a group looking to take coordinated, legal, economic, and diplomatic action. chris, avi,

is the spokesman for the department of international relations and cooperation in south africa. he's joining us live from the higgs, so thank you very much indeed for being with us. clearly south africa playing a significant role with regard to the prosecution that was brought against israel at the i c j. but also, of course, in the formation of this, uh, this campaign on many of the countries, if not all of them who are taking pots and this are already bringing actions of some sort against israel. how much of this is about israel, and how much is it about the future signing of international law as they said and be on you. so in this is primarily a significant moment for international essentially you have what we can call this out to our international. that is the group's way. it is believed that it's a national was created for and against. we are now as a group of countries here to say that actually we are spending navajo, it's a nice to know institutions that i the intense scrutiny i could, bailey,

that task. and we are here to say that international law must apply to or it might seem to have eyes, it must have printed this, it must apply to anyone who violates it. so we are here at the 9 countries in south africa being one of the countries that was the case. the case is valid in the international court of justice to say that international law must apply importance facets. if madison has an exception to this and it must be a process, way accountability can be evaded by saw, but accountability must be false on others. so we really are here to spend upwards . and nations though, and it so that it applies into the tendency and the true sense of the low enough class in a way that is blind. but you guys like the general i was noticing how does she during the report or more members states could do to ensure that israel complied with rulings by the international court of justice. notably, there is the finding that the issue has continued presence and the occupied

territories is unlawful. it should leave within 12 months. but when it comes to campaigns like yours, how can israel or any other country breaking international long? think the russia, for example, going into a ukraine be compelled to change plan in those cases, they seem to act with impunity. so you know, one of the things that we not experiencing then the bottom natural system is things that were obvious. now i know the obvious so as to be added as to when it's a national, a wide range of our races issue. it is expected that the countries in accordance with the obligations as to the state parties, instances, but also as that obligation that applies in terms of international. and what we, i'll see is meaning meaning formidable countries and remaining on that of the case . so what this group has done is to we have for the importance of those institutions, but also to reopen the importance of international law itself. and i can say with

conviction as was that because we always say that we understand the obligations that stand ready to exercise the weird required to do so. and we expect that that is how often this notion of by and the fact that we have a number of countries now who agrees such a message is an important step. but also what this group has come to gather around is also the united nations generally less than the resolution of september 10th of 2041 got. and the resolution is there a number of vacations that apply, which really directly to the international court stop by and by the p as well up to patients the risk but also on the provisional emissions back to last week. i had the kid in the i, c j is i want to ask you about and please forgive me for interrupting you. but i do want to talk to you more about this level of obligation because obviously that is relevant when you have a country or a government, which is a signatory to the, the,

the international last start use that you're talking about. and yet we've got donald trump, you as president and benjamin netanyahu prime minister, visual meeting, i think twice on tuesday, expected to meet in washington d. c. now we know that benjamin netanyahu is facing obligations i brought against him to the international criminal court. i guess he's not going to face any problems in the us because the us isn't the signal train to the i c c. so in that respect, there is a limitation isn't there. when it comes to countries, we simply don't choose not to acknowledge the international law that you're trying to defend. well, we may not be the parties, but the importance of international invaded with eyes is quite an important principle. the nice thing across the board is the principle that everybody recognizes. and one might even say what we, i've seen as a, as a matter of point, say it is this idea of sanctioning the i, c, c a, you know, in fact,

it's not sanctioning the institution as we see it. it's actually assessing the 125 countries who are members to this institution because because the point doesn't work on its own, finally get actually with as a result, the other countries will, as the part is implemented, it's resolutions, it's in it. and then i'll be based on that as a possible console. and this group also is looking at that to say we have these 9 countries understand obligations and a $125.00. other countries are also obligations and we hope that it will be over by the punches and find the reason why. indeed they agreed to be part of the rules such as to begin with and then also vacations, in line with federal sector. initially we can agree that uh 25 countries is quite a sizable number of countries across the world. chrisman ferry, we appreciate you being with us on i'll just say that. so thank you very much indeed for your time.

the to say, you know, it runs for minutes. other sound like she has told, i'll just see the tech run supports the city and people. the comments come just a day off to the formation of an interim government headed by on that i'll shut off the law as had a thought that he has had a cool, cool, cool, my teacher, we endorse any government chosen and supported by the syrian people. we want peace and security for syria, which is a pre, closer to achieving the same in the region. we don't wish to see syria is the epi sense of endless tension or ethnic conflicts, which may turn it into a safe haven for terrorists and instability, and syria would spill over into the region. and if we are so cold for serious territorial integrity, we do not wish to see any serene land violates it'll occupied by any outside party, namely, design is fantasy. so we are against the partitioning of syria, uphold serious sovereigns. here we have been on increase of government has formed

a representative of the entire spectrum as well. monitoring the situation in syria and pray orleans while the city is government says, is committed to engaging women in social, cultural, and political institutions. president domino shut up, shut. i made that promise in his address to the nation on thursday, which he outlined a vote amount for the countries future. qualified women will be recorded in health care and education sectors. i'll just say there's also though some of these have agent spoke with ahead of the countries women's affairs office to discuss their role in rebuilding the country. so i should have thank you very much for talking to l just there. you are. the only woman in the cabinet that has taken over syria explained to me what your position is and what are you doing for the women of syria as the day is done and by virtue of my office, i will spare no effort to ensure that serial women regained all their rights and

contribute to building the future of syria. so are you seeing that women will have a role in politics, in support, in academics really ever the field a woman chooses to take part and she will be completely free to do it. and there will be noticed sections, muscleteo, kona, who all i can say is that we're still in the early ground work face paving the way for a new slate for syria and all syrians. women included, women will take part in drafting the constitution, the national dialogue, and all the upcoming events. women will express themselves in this future process. i'm not the one to dictate what women want. they themselves will articulate at thomas what a new part of. what is the difference under this administration and the previous administration for women officer who could be using them? i spent the greater part of my life in damascus, where women under the top of the regime were merely ornaments. women were neglected
