9:02 am
for some i will just get searching for clues. the used to oversee attend, preferably symmetry here, but it should get to be a post or they come out of a draw on hospital a. yeah, it was a rushed was thing place. but those killed by the way, districts around 250 people with battery to yeah. the size of many of them unnamed with death and unknown. but eventually it even dispatch with land was bumped to live in the head of the i am guarding these bodies yet no one is paying attention to us suffering. the tools we have a fond too simple look at this area using just a shovel here is useless. we cannot retrieve any bodies this way. yet every so often in this last of some finds a blanket send another body. remember the same shade that we have recovered
9:03 am
around 50 bodies, old belonging to families that have been completely lost in the public records. they have no one left. the entire families have perished. even it says remove bodies off that we need this building. and he ventures inside to attempt the recovery as it gets clean this hey, we took the fuel for the under the level those animals tried to see to the didn't bodies. people trying to pull out their beloved ones. he was in a relative ways. this is the situation we also have, they are discovered and i got the bodies of taken photos. gabrielle for this? well let them know what casually authors come to help the vehicle. i'm on the vin of relatives or dismissing like how do you well yeah. and who sat check for his son and his grandson. i have lost all feelings. nothing holds meaning any more. my only
9:04 am
wish is to retrieve our sons by you know that we can tell his daughter, but this is your father's grace. so this mother who was burning with grief can find some solid and so that his father, who has been coming here every single day for me shake rod vaughan for the past 12 days hoping for news can finally have an answer. with this page. trouble is that sometimes the best policy news here are searching for answers when they find them. the greeting only begins to gain. well i think the who just see the cities products fine. it's a harsh winter for thousands of palestinian families in gaza or sleeping out in the open or in worn out tents. authorities and gaza are pleading for temporary shelters under the ceasefire. deal between israel and almost 200000 tents were meant to enter goza. but only 2 percent of those have arrived so far. a mazda is accused israel of obstructing the delivery of the temporary shelters and delaying the
9:05 am
implementation of the ceasefire agreement. honey bye moved reports from gaza. city . their homes destroy. they have no tens and nowhere to go to stay warm and dry. once the rains and high winds are making an almost unbearable situation, even worse for the hundreds of 1000 people, forced to live and make shift shelters in the gaza strip of them. and then what i said, despite the treasure, the only thing despite the rain and the very bad weather you, people are staying under no roof, which means that people are hanging onto their control. their land. people are hanging onto even one grain of sand, of their contrib. how's off? this is more difficult for us than displacements. we woke up at night and found out tense, destroyed above us, due to the wind, and the clothes and food were filled with sand. we had wanted to return for a week, but we have no money for transportation. the number of a trucks carrying vital 8 into the palestinian territory has also slowed in recent
9:06 am
days. agencies say there aren't enough 10 units of save. it's a time to get health and medical aid to nearly a 1000000 children in garza. but winter weather and the lack of shoulder means is speed is of an essence for kids. in these conditions, it's not really frightening to be outside exposed, and in the cold was also very dangerous for their well being. we've had a number of children in gaza die of hypothermia, and it's clear here when you meet with families that they don't have what they need to protect them from that cold. families are lacking warm clothes for their children. as many children without shoes. there's just people that get equipped for these weather because they have lost so much of the last 15 months. how about us? a q is israel of delaying a delivery. as per the ceasefire agreement has called a mediator to intervene, to guarantee the live saving humanitarian assistance gets in this phase,
9:07 am
only 2 percent of the $200000.00 tens that were supposed to be part of the a deliveries have a right and none of the temporary housing units for now, as the cold winter weather continues, people in gauze have no choice but to find what little shoulder they can. anyway, i was, i was just the euro garza palestine. well, honey joins us live now. honey your a l. schiffer hospital, it's one of the largest in the strip, but if we just look behind you for a 2nd, there doesn't seem to be much left. what are you finding? well, good morning sir. oh yes, that's true. we are at the ship a hospital and we've been driving around for the past few days and all what we see is much of the devastation and the, the, the destruction cost is the largest public health facility in the gaza strip. this is the largest health compound serving the entire gaza strip every other hospital. it was subordinate to us. you have a hospital,
9:08 am
but right now with the complete destruction of a ship, a hospital completely out of service. there's too much of the pressure and over woman situation, other health facilities, i think obviously, particularly it's the only uh, the home health, highly hospital to turn into a major stream health facility to into, from a small marginalize hospital into a larger what i'm going to show you the what, what has been caused here to the hospital? the sheep a hospital was a storm to twice by these really military. the 1st one was in december 2023. when there's really military use that this building right in front of you on fire and destroyed by the heavy artillery and by the time shows why the people were still trapped inside. many of the patients and the injuries. and those with holes complication could not leave. do a trapped here. many of them were killed inside the building, particularly those who were in need of immediate medical care as the oxygen station was cut off and the, the deliberately a suffocating people inside inside the building. in the,
9:09 am
the 2nd time when these really military storms, the hospital that was in march of 2024, that lasted for a little over a month where these really military destroyed the specialized surgery building the one right here on the right, on the right side as we can see completely gone out of service. the entire facilities do major building at least house 600 beds here for patients. now, none of it exists. none of the medical supplies, none of the medical equipment. unfortunately, the courtyard of the hospital turn into more of a war zone, dominated by these bailey site. many people were rounded up from the inside. the buildings were, were driven outside the drag outside. in this particular area, they were blindfolded doors strip down to under garments. some of them were killed then, according to i witnessed his, they were executed and buried under a huge pile of sands and revels caused and built by the tanks. and the bulldozer here just behind these 2 buildings,
9:10 am
people at the seats fires started at people that started to come back when they were allowed to return to their homes in northern part of go straight. we've seen many of the people right here at the main gate of the hospital, searching for the relative the loved ones under the pile of sands and revels behind these 2 buildings. just believe that there's really monetary, there many people that they killed were buried on behind these 2 buildings on a still, many people are searching for the remains of their loved ones and relatives. after 15 months of devastation and already some of the cases here were found. some of the bodies were recovered already completely, the decomposed and nothing left of them. and it was hard to identify whose bodies were these because they were completely disease. and with the lack of health, the proper health care facility to do the identification that was very difficult for people to quite emotional to see people collapsing right here. as they were hoping with the ceasefire, they will find their loved ones, relatives and children already or still alive in this area. yeah, honey we,
9:11 am
we had known and we had reported that there were multiple mass graves that had been found within the i'll ship a complex after these really military withdrew following their raids on l. shift. but we didn't have all the details that you're bringing us now. just before i let you go, one thing to be clear, is there anything at the moment that is still functioning within al shift? is there any part of the medical operation or medical teams that are still functioning at the moment as well right now, there's only one percent of the deposit of the hospital that is operational. it's only operational because international organization, what would the support of the w h o manage to set up just one part of the hospital and it serves as more of the basic medical had service for people, not major things going on here. no operations, no operating theatre, no emergency department, and it serves as that transition hot here transferred for cases that are from the
9:12 am
vicinity of the area are transferred. right. it is right that wait while the lead hospital at the city center, but here at the hospital, nothing left. then literally we are standing on a pile of ruins. i remember this compound, but it. 3 is all complete and it was all function in an operational that old the buildings were operational, as many of the people were seeking medical care here inside su, 4 hospital all the way until these really a military forcibly order everyone to evacuate. and it's part of the relentless bombardment campaign that targeted the, the hospital. it's major facilities including the power station, the solar panels, as well as the, the oxygen is stationed here. all the pipe was everything. and here this hospital one to from going from 800 medical bits here into now nothing at all. yeah, honey, you know, during the war the un issued multiple reports documenting a pattern of is really military attacks on hospitals across the strip. and we see
9:13 am
now from what you're showing us, that that was not at all and exaggeration, honey mountain with thanks to you and your team for your reporting. us. us president donald trump's brazen proposal to take over gaza and forces palestinian population out has sparked outrage among both allies and adversaries. his comments come at a time when a ceasefire between israel and moss appears to be holding in the coming hours. how mazda is expected to announce the names of 3 is really captives were due to be released on saturday. earlier, my colleague nick clark spoke to senior. i'm a spokesman of summer home done. he asked him about trump's plan to clear palestinians from gaza. and about these, these by indigo sions. and it's important to understand that if you do decide to transfer the prestige from them that you are creating a new glen ship and then douglas drawn it community that i think people have the cost for i think company can be destroyed. i think you're basically done could be
9:14 am
continuing if you accept the transfer of the product statements from does that was that that means it's often a fuel maybe here there's right, as we start talking about the benefit from joe, the maybe if anybody is from the one that we go to another exchange taking place on saturday. are you satisfied that his role is carrying out the terms of the agreement and the exchange will take place as scheduled and agreed on saturday when we have the clips of all the time that you have to go to the system and say all the steps as well, so i agreed on both, it's clear that so i use them now they, i'm not feeling old. what do you have agreed on? they are they all the same thing? they're essentially beads for the 1st 3 minutes back to, to go to this up. i, that's why i get any, don't we have to do that because that's about this issue. and we've told every one
9:15 am
of them in the 8th of this was the process. if that's right, it's going to be the acting like this. we whole to see what's the action that took place. i think everything was one. then now we have to stick with it to the exchange. also thought that we hope that there's a discount for infinity. this side of that is right, so we can go forward with, with the, with the exchange and set up a, the president, donald trump, has signed an executive order sanctioning the international criminal court and accusing it of illegal and baseless actions, targeting the us and as close as daylight, israel trump signed the measure during is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has visit the washington. it will place financial and visa restrictions on individuals and their families will assist. i see see investigations of us citizens or allies of the i. c. c is the only international court with the power to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes of aggression and war crimes. and either the us or israel,
9:16 am
or members of the court, or recognize the i. c c's jurisdiction. and during his 1st term and office trump placed sanctions on icbc, prosecutors and officials accusing them of threatening to infringe upon us sovereignty. those sanctions were then lifted by his successor job i last year the i c. c issue to arrest warrants for is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu and former defense minister you'll have to launch accusing them of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. let's discuss this. we have so talk a hashi professor of human rights and peace studies at a sucka to the queen university. he specializes in international human rights, all joining us from a suck in japan. thank you for your time. do the sanctions impact the work of the court? is there anything that they kept that the court? it's prosecutors, it's judges pre trial judges can no longer do because of the sanctions as well. i mean, the direct impact on the institution of the i c. c will probably be pretty limited . it's not in the united states, it's in the heading into another wins. um,
9:17 am
obviously there are implications for some of the icbc staff members who don't know of assets in the united states. i mean, some of them might be american citizens, so you know, that kind of thing. but the indirect implications could be very, very serious. because if you look at the executive order, it talks about not only sanctioning uh, the actual staff members of the i, c, c, u, prosecutors of the i c c. but also people who cooperate with the i, c. c in the investigation into is really official. so, you know, you're talking about the human rights activists, victims of those kind of people who may be shut out of the united states who may fight, who may find to who, who may be faced with penalties if they try to travel to the united states. it's, it's, you know, that could have a very, very serious, chilling impact. indeed. do you read this, jerry? this is an attempt to shield benjamin netanyahu, specifically from prosecution and, and if so,
9:18 am
can it work as well? i mean, i think it's an, as an yahoo and go on to presumably any kind of, uh, is rarely official. and you kind of as rarely soldier, um, but uh, will it work. i don't know. i think a lot depends on uh now the allies of the united states to other western and other western countries that have so far been very supportive of israel and its efforts to adjust and to commit genocide against the palestinian people. we have to look and see what they're going to do. i think in the really long term, no, it won't be effective in the long term for sure. it justice will try it for nothing . you wouldn't go on. we will see them in the dock in the hague. but whether, you know, trump's efforts will, at least in the immediate term, has some kind of effect. it's kind of hard to say, hard to say. the way i look at this, it seems that what's the, what's at the heart of this, from the american perspective is jurisdiction over whom does the court have
9:19 am
jurisdiction? now it's very, the court shouldn't have jurisdiction over americans, or is really, is there any country that is not a party to this court, but we've seen and these really example that is not always the case, right? because israel is not a party to the i. c, c, and yet there was an arrest warrant against that. you know, through this indirect logic that the palestinians are parties to the court that the palestinians have been victims of crimes. and therefore the court can act against the perpetrators of the crime. follow me here for is really ultimately do you think that logic could apply to americans and the there are 1st of all there, there is no logic to this argument whatsoever. it's very, very clear that the i c c has jurisdiction over crimes that take place in a member state. the state of palestine is a member state. so when these really as commit crimes in the state of palestine, well they're subject to the jurisdiction and the story. so you know, the notion that this is semis, serious legal arguments. it's just laughable. and it's just a joke. it wouldn't be,
9:20 am
you know, it will be laughable if it weren't so serious. but, so that's not gonna happen then. uh, you know, russia is also not a state partner to the i, c, c. and then we had all these american politicians falling all over themselves, clapping and you know, applauding when the i c. c issued arrest warrants against fruits and, and other russians for the crimes that were taking place in the ukraine. same kind of logic. so, you know, this is, this is, this is not an argument, i mean, is complete nonsense. that is not even worth, you know, even looking at it any kind of serious way. last one venue with says, i'm reading the. yeah, sorry, go ahead. go ahead. you know what i mean? the other thing that you were asking, i mean, could the logic be extended to americans or? yeah, of course it could. i mean, you know, for the former president biden farmers, secretary of state lincoln, all these people were complicit, aiding and abetting. is rarely genocide, so they have not been named yet in any kind of icy c warrant. and you, let's see what, let's see what happens. but yeah, of course it could happen because the crimes took place in the territory of
9:21 am
a state party. so and the story for sure they could be subject to prosecution. and frankly, i hope they will. you know, that's really interesting. as you say this, i'm just researching the language in the executive order of the donald trump signed . and this is what struck me and it speaks to your point, the rome statute which created this court creates. i'm quoting here, reading off the executive order creates a risk that the president of the united states and other senior elected and appointed officials of the us government may be prosecuted by the i see. see. so i think that's one of the things that stephanie, at the heart of this, of this order. so we'll talk about how she thank you so much for joining us. thank you. for more than 2 weeks, the is really military has laid siege to be occupied. westbank, the attacks have largely been focused on, there's a need refugee camp in the north and neighboring to car him. more than 35000 palestinians have been forcibly displaced from both cities. is really 4th is accompanied by bulldozers or demolishing homes and destroying critical infrastructure such as water and sanitation networks. that is really military has

9:25 am
a dose of the ro vaccine. have i seen that assembly is safer after getting the vaccine? i live in a higher risk zone. despite the applicants that and largest produce of crude oil, many people here live in overcrowded slums with unsafe drinking water for sanitation and inadequate hygiene is i see many that do this will definitely bring color a look at this place. the authorities promise to fix things years ago, but they have done nothing, nothing but i'm seeing the color is a disease that can be prevented and controlled, but health with the say if conditions don't improve in many of the course areas, there will be more outbreaks. how do we task out is that most direct employees of america's international humanitarian agency had been put on administrative leave. us say id workers are being sidelined as part of the trump administration's push to wind down the agency. some essential personnel are
9:26 am
expected to continue working with media reports, putting that number at less than 300. the us is the world's biggest. a donor and cuts are expected to impact humanitarian work across the globe. in the us senate has confirmed donald trump's pick to leave the white house budget office. russel vote is one of the architects behind project 2025 hard right. blueprint for trump. the 2nd term in america on hearing democrats argue that vote was the wrong man with the wrong agenda, but republicans argued votes. mindset would be crucial to cut what they call wasteful government spending. after attends week and diplomatic relations between mexico into us, president trump announced that he will hold off imposing 25 percent terrace on its 7 neighbor, mexico's president claudia shine both hasn't turn agreed to send $10000.00 national guard troops to the border to prevent drug trafficking specifically, fentanyl, as well as migration. those troops are now beginning to arrive in cities like do
9:27 am
you want to also 0. john holman, has more mexico is keeping up. it said that the div sending $10000.00 members of the national guard, it's militarized, federal police force to its border with the united states, the in full and the rule, the controls along the entire us, mexico border patrols and motorized patrols on through. it's leading there. it's what president cloud is saying about problem is president trump, she just don't tend to know getting to the us these mean we get instead of equal if and then a little for left on data. trump says it's to stop migrants to exchange. he's holding off on the 25 percent terrace. he threatened mexico with what, at least for a moment the treats have been sent to more than a dozen points, including key the busiest border crossing in the americas in p one. but the question is,
9:28 am
will they actually be able to still send to the national guard of the board, or is not gonna impact the traffic in defense? no, very muscle. i mean of the mexican government and the united states government really wants to affect that. that's to do with bringing down criminal networks. stuff in the pre cost is coming into mexico, from china or in europe. and this kind of work requires investigation and dismantling criminal organizations. not, not putting soldiers on the street, but it's a playbook that mexico successfully use before to keep trump tires, to buy. in these, 1st to the country sent the national guard to southern buddha, to stop migrants and trump. julie dropped his threats. and this is about upticks as much as anything else makes codes showing it's doing something. i'm president trump showing that he has the power to make mexico doing something ultimately advisements great time to negotiate on an issue that could be more important to the country. about 80 percent of mexico's exports had across the board at the united states. so
9:29 am
terrace would be seriously destructive for its economy, but the 2 countries a so and to link that it would also have a big impact on american businesses and consumers, towards between the governments will continue this month. a lot of people will be hoping as they do, the terror threat moves further and further into the distance. joan home and i would just say to keep one heavy rains in peru have triggered flash floods, a river of debris, watch through the city of nascar. on the indian nations southern coast authorities have declared an orange alert to assess the damage to homes and other infrastructure. normally, nascar receives a little rain and is one of the driest regions in the world. in argentina canal, near the capital of winter, situs has turned blood red. the contaminated water is now draining into the rio de la plata estuary, near an ecological reserve. worried residents report
