bad, other in gaza is making life worse for the 10s of thousands of palestinians returning to their homes. the tents they have been using for months through the wind and rain are barely usable gas and a trucks or among the long lines of vehicles trying to pass through the next room car door. that's what it looks like. roads are muddy because of the overnight rain . northern gauze is destroyed streets and infrastructure or now a flooded mess, agency, se tents and shelters need to be urgently brought into this trip. many buildings are damaged, leaving people with nowhere to take shelter from the right. house is there, a zane bus robbie begins or coverage of thousands of displaced people are enduring, extreme cold and heavy rainfall in gaza. living in the most basic of makeshift shelters in adequate protection against the elements on able to withstand strong winds and widespread flooding. and the funny got enough was that all those up on my way to the big could eat my foot sank into the mud. and my son's it's got stuck

deep below a love have to put my hand into the sea, which water to retrieve it. the war has lift critical infrastructure so badly damaged that sewage spills into the streets. infants are reported lisa coming to hypothermia, due to inadequate shelter and clothing. while i look for all the roads that covered the mud from rain, water and sewage, we need significant results has because every time we try to open the roads, they return to the previous state. on the bulldozers and heavy equipment to conclude the road, a groups have been warning for weeks. the people in gaza would need urgent and sustained humanitarian aid to survive winter conditions. nearly 1000000 palestinians don't have the kind of shelter they need. and despite the fragile ceasefire, how much has accused israel of deliberately blocking aiden causing delays in the delivery of essential supplies?

the ceasefire is bringing much needed, responded. we have 8 coming in, but you know we're human. a periods were not magicians. we can't take the suffering away overnights the needs of children are just a door because there is no end to their suffering in every aspect of their lives. their sufferings. there's um, a family that has 3 children. uh, 2 teenagers in a and a 3 years. a 3 year old boy and those 3 to get stuff to sleep on the same extras that mattress was with the blankets that they had were rats because it was reading inside. i have no clue how these children were able to sleep at night. is the one says the cease fire helped to avoid fab and, and gaza. but if more, a doesn't get through or a fighting resumes. the risk of famine could return the same bus or avi all to 0. and as people return to go to the city and they're ruined homes, they're facing a lack of sanitation in basic amenities. want to talk out loud,

has more on that of the 16 months of to this talk to boeing. does it this largest city? is it still a stuck without any public services? no running water, no level. it's our only nouns of books that could rash. on, on the road. a ones learned most marketplace. now, an ever expanding landfill. measured was, has been sitting suites here for years. and what was one's the bustling business center or goal is the city. now his biggest concern is not his child, but his children's health shed all i use, it was very easy. how about a 100? this used to be garza's main road, historic location. it was the lifeline of cause as the economy, the fall, odors, insects and flies will cause an outbreak of diseases over $500.00. how do we get budget?

says he invested to $20000.00 building his business before the war. now he says the terrible smell is dis, carriage and customers. right now, this area has turned as scary as some hunted woods. it is rife with insects and stray dogs, you name. it is a vast area of wasteland. it is harming us physically and mentally and above all financially. some of the local authorities must remove this miss as soon as possible. say those who live in the area like the last of this. i'll see what else . it is extremely dangerous. we will avoid passing through this area. we hope it has removed as early as possible time for health care will cause like, i mean the later, another set to allow the hospital, the hazardous consequences, like a skin conditions have become common cancer. and all the accumulation

of re, it's in the vicinity of hospital just suffice to grieve, health risk, mainly the outbreak of disease hispanic, the democrats of that's what the problem is, right? as rise may have ceased for now, but then there was up to my remains. was it kind of a 0 garza city fall is fine. us president donald trump has repeated his comments about taking over gaza and says countries in the region could be allowed to develop parts of it submitted to buying out a gas as far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states and then we build sections of it, other people may do it, is we're committed to owning it, taking it, and making sure that losses back is nothing back. mazda is condemned trumps proposal and a post on telegram. a mazda official is that the risk says trump statements or

absurd and reflect the deep ignorance of palestine in the region. gaza is not a problem, it's either can be bought and sold and it is an integral part of our occupied palestinian land. dealing with the palestinian issue with the mentality of a real estate dealer is a recipe for failure because it belongs to its people and they will not leave it except to their cities and villages occupied in 1948 along the l is the former director general of israel's foreign ministry, your in tell of leave, so alone i wonder how you look at this. this goes beyond just the shock value because it's the 4th or 5th time that donald trump says something like this. now he has in the past said that the us should have the panama canal, canada, greenland, and each time it was in the name of national security. what possible interest do you see the us having and gaza? it seems as if the drama is a loss with is along the idea ridiculous idea. and he stands

in contrast to what's happening on the ground that shows us more of deterioration of the united states. and i hope all the rest of the democratic world, and i think this whole countries to the, stand it literally against the say it's not acceptable. the logic of the rest of the world, especially the rest of the democratic world, should do something to the boss, the damage done by drugs. when drum says is big. this, to me, a bunch of genes in gaza is no a good price. all right, so the most duration, this should be a response from the rest of the,

especially euro. and this is not going you've called this a ridiculous idea, but a large majority of his rarely is alon actually supports the idea of the palestinians. and guys that should relocate to another country. we know this from a poll that you brought up actually in our earlier conversation. and the majority of jewish is where we think that this is actually doable. that is practicable. you clearly don't what, what are your, what kind of conversations are you having with your is really neighbors colleagues and relatives about this. you know, i went to as a, please at night. i don't know about you, but at least about the most to be 4 feet. this is definitely the various ways that the, at least they know the deep slope real estate. and this is,

this is between the show and the dishes on the wall is the source, the insurance, because you really want to be every year of the, to be ready. you know, both the so it does nothing to do it with the reality. but to go to your and especially your but we still if you want to call the bottom of this, even more of id come up with some of the go with the most to see the companies like ross bring to kind of the 20th we recognize the state of bodies but and then the way we look soon, understand as a member states going to so at least the reason they called the vision to this i the whole thing

a whole has the vision is that page. let us do this thing, but even people now the, the why is the complex to alone? you former direct director general of israel's foreign ministry. thank you for joining us on the else. is there a news? our thank you in the occupied westbank is really forces has carried out a tax until car has been a number of explosions in the north shops. refugee camp square is really forces have been destroying roads and buildings. this is what it looks like. us and the army is expanding its assaults in the north of the west bank. its force is also set fire to a house west of jeanine city here, the fire force residents there to flee. also, the owners of a bookshop were arrested in occupied east jerusalem on sunday night for being kept in police. custody for 8 days was really forces rated their stores and economy bookstore and east jerusalem. and they confiscated several books. the lawyer says troops accused them of selling books that support quote,

violence and terrace. probably a couple of the higher they got an extension for the rest for 8 days. we believe this is part of the political prosecution and part of the is really policy of shutting up the voices of palestinians to stop them from learning. it's part of the attacks against the palestinian people for 10 years. the honeymoon stuff i as a senior palestine analyst with the international crisis group, you're joining us from london. thanks for your time. why have the is really military raids across the occupied westbank ramped up recently as well? it's no coincidence that this is coming against the backdrop of the cause of ceasefire, immediately as soon as if the supply had been implemented useful this route implemented operation on wall, which is what it's now proceeding to do across the west bank. and at the same time, we're also seeing a prisoner exchange process going on way as well as many as it has released through

that, seized by a deal. we're temporary pause if you like. the same time it is a, it is arresting just as many across the west bank. so it's, it's really no coincidence in terms of the timing. and this was something that even regional, as well as a product and stakeholders even though seized by agreements, were wanting about back in november. that if we wanted to see any temporary or potential pause, we would definitely be seeing that in exchange for an ex and sorry, and escalation of potentially is really an extension of the west bank. at least 35000 people, palestinians in the west bank have been displaced. what's happening to them? those people are being effectively forced out at some point. so what you're seeing associated displacement through the, the complete destruction of the neighborhoods localities. as you said, we've seen something like a touch, 5000 people now displaced across the northern west bank in terms of whether they're able to now go. i mean, many of them were trying to seek refuge in neighboring towns, villages,

cities. but ultimately, i mean, it is effectively a form of force displacement that we're seeing and then where they end up going. i think israel has absolutely no concern for that. they will seek refuge where they come. we have reporting from the is really paper. i read that the is really army central command has expanded open fire orders during their military operation in westbank, essentially stealing. we're taking from the gaza playbook and applying it to the west bank. now they denied this, i should say the is really military denies that they've changed anything to their orders. what to make a visit this, we're getting like these data points and these clues that the is really military is starting to deal with the west bank in the way that they dealt with gaza. a lot of people, i mean, they've been doing this in practice for the last 15 months. it's not even before that in terms of indiscriminate tooling and targeting, you know, is really such interest operations on atoria. so it is coming with product in and

pay policies and often us fatalities. now doctors cannot true or often it's not really clear whether they're actually present militants or on, on civilians. i mean, this is something that israel has been doing in practice for quite a long while now. and especially over the last 15 months, it's mainly c $910.00 palestinians in the west bank for those that have been killed since since the 7th of october. and a lot of the times we're talking about is always makes no distinction between civilians that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. they make no distinction between medicines and simply young man that are throwing stones or rocks or whatever they can at what they see as it, as a breach in, in terms of their own neighborhoods. you know, for them, that's a, that's a form of community defense. we also know that israel has very poor intelligence on the ground, that something that even is really mandatory, stretched or sub admitted to when they've gone back in to, to sort of analyze the science and the disproportionate use of force being deployed in these areas. especially when it comes to as strikes. and so you know,

dismissed from israel is, is absolutely notorious, or whether they announce that open e, which is the blade and announcement of, of, of an escalation, or whether they're doing that in practice. that really makes no difference to the terms of a reality, which is that is really such an arrest operations talk to this last nations. they're often very much indiscriminate. and most of the time it isn't on, on posting and civilians with all the targets at the honeymoon stuff. a senior palace site analyst with the international crisis group. thank you. thank you us and it's really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is back in court for his correction trial. that yeah, who faces charges a fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes? dating back to 2019 prosecutors accused him of granting favorites and media organizations are favorable press coverage. he is also alleged to have advance the personal interests of a 1000000000 their hollywood producer and exchange for a lavish gift that you know,

has pleaded not guilty the to the united states. now where president donald trump says he will impose a 25 percent terrace on all steel and aluminum imports, including on his biggest trading part is canada, and mexico. trump also threatened reciprocal terrace on all countries. the tax and ports from the us will also be announcing the steel tariffs are going to have a 25 percent. well, those threats come as china is retaliatory terrace on about $14000000000.00 worth of goods from the united states. take effect paging announced the move last week after the us and post hours of 10 percent on all chinese products. houses here was katrina,

you has more from the capital of aging. the china has added extra terrace on a range of american impulse. coal and liquefied natural gas will be levied with an additional 15 percent tax crude oil funding equipment and some vehicles. 10 percent . the move is paintings. response to the trump administration's added 10 percent tariff imposed on all tide's inputs to the us at the start of february. well, you're just going to john me or you can jot trade and terry wars have no winners. what is needed are not more tariffs, but they're loc. we are in the u. s. to correct it's action, and the stop weaponized inc treat issues. china is also hitting back by filing a lawsuit against the us at the world trade organization, sanctioning to us fund tied in, in control of the export of red as minerals to the us, and launching an anti trust investigation and detect joined google ton is 1st move in donor trans, continuing trade war against it is relatively restraints affecting less than 10

percent of its annual us impulse. but it does carry a warning to washington stadium. doesn't want an extended trade war, that it is ready for one and can now cause more damage to the us economy. and it did during trumps 1st time. trying to really learn the lesson from the 1st from administration. it's not works, you know, to immediately take a dramatic measure against trump, because at the end of the day, we know for sure trump is a very trans sectional. trump wants to decrease washington's trade deficit. china, which has a record 295000000000 dollars last year. he says he added tires are also a punishment for not doing enough to stem the tide of the illegal drug sentinel to the us. something tiny is officials deny these latest announcements are a way of present from showing that he is very serious by using the tact tariff instrument as a policy for as

a policy tool for achieving both economic and non economic objectives. washington also plans describe judy exemptions for cheap chinese goods. the so called the minimum is rule, which would raise prices for e. columbus stores team you and shine an extra 25 percent us tariff on still in our minium, which takes less than one percent of trying his global exports of the commodities. so now she didn't pay is watching closely for trump's next move and is ready to inflict more pain on the us. and it's companies in response, katrina you out to 0 aging. jessica washington is that a chinese electric vehicle factory and the city of hugginsville. a john coffin's with eastern china and this is the century was the one of china is premium electric vehicle brand china is dominating the market and that's largely driven by domestic electric vehicles, a part of what aging calls the new 3. these all 3 priority areas for economic development,

which also includes solar cells and lithium ion battery. july 2024. the industry made a major achievement. sales of p v. policy and traditional fuel vehicle challenges exist in accessing other market. late last year in the us, the bind administration increased the tariff on chinese electric vehicles to 100 percent. you countries also impose task on chinese z as market share was experiencing significant growth that you did. this officer investigating the extensive subsidized ation within the industry in china and to pose terrace of varying amount of different brands including zip codes, which is under the g. like ultimately, if we're still chinese electric vehicles, companies say international expansion is the priority big or executive tools of 0. they're looking specifically at market in the middle east,

southeast asia and australia. jessica washington 0 judging. proven. china, members of south africa's parliament, have called an emergency session to discuss the death of 14 soldiers during a peacekeeping mission in eastern democratic republic of congo. it happened during fighting between the rolanda and back them 23 rebels and kimberly's forces and has raised questions about the emissions effectiveness south african troops are there as part of a regional efforts to help stabilize the security situation. and $23.00 rebels have been advancing in the east of to taking the major city of goma, which south african troops for guarding tar o'connor is the founder and executive director of africa. risk consulting, and she joins us a lot for from cape town. i assume tara, that are very serious questions being raised about why the country has lost 14 troops. how that could be allowed to happen, and if there were any failings in their preparedness, what are they saying? and what's the discussion at this session? well, the discussion, i think,

i think we initial discussion will be commemoration loudness of one to on the troops that have been full and that's a full and a little bit slow. so i think that the south african government has been very slow to respond. they didn't call an emergency session or anything like that. they wait until a formal a thing of parliament. and so i think best light key on the back foot on this. but the, the transfer is, is growing that, and that's south of contributes where effectively varies was humiliated in game. and they were on the transfer is also that they were out out maneuvered as a pallet. and i guns by rwandan defense forced by 1023 rebel forces. and i think the greatest failing was perhaps one of intelligence gathering military intelligence gathering in the region where they had

not either received information. the mtv and $23.00 rebel forces were being vastly expanded in the capacity of by it is assumed by the wind and defense for us. is there any talk in south africa, the country pulling out or withdrawing? it's participation from this regional defense force to do at this moment. no. i think the, the, the, the decision has been president, run the opposed to release the statement today to talk about the pushing feel great to dialogue and encouraging. they had a, a unique regional summit which was between the east african community and the south african development community to discuss this very issue. and they are trying to de escalate the violence and to to really try and create the

conditions full for a few amount of terry and car door to get in to get him a, which is now totally controlled by the by the m 23 rebels. but also to be able to repair, create the repub truth, the dead and wounded and to relieve some of the of the south have concrete to of surround it in the, in the military base. is that push forward with thoughts and, and really that's the best that they can hope for to address the humiliating defeat that they have suffered. the un is very clear that the m 23 farm group is armed and backed by one and troops, the u. n. also has said that there are rwandan troops on congolese soil. is there are, there are back channel negotiations between south africa and rolanda perhaps, or i'm not sure about that. so, i mean,

certainly there are tensions. there are definitely tensions between south africa and rwanda. this is particularly increase tensions between president run a pose and pull cook. i'm a, i think the regional talks between everybody, you know, there are multiple processes that it's a little one. the process is and i rode the process and then you've now got to the latest decision between of, between the east african community and the so the can development community to move that piece. process forward. that includes the m $23.00 rebels. but there is no dot that has been information in the public domain for about a year now about the, the about sheets rwandan troops that she was providing support, training, unprofessional, lising, the, the m, 23 rebels that has been information as well,

that they are much better equipped, again, information has been around for yeah, including having a sort of a, a ability with, with motives and so on. fairly sophisticated equipment. the m, 23 rebel sources got quite sophisticated equipments compared to the old and ugly maintained equipment. the south african troops have been forced to rely on tar o'connor of africa. risk consulting, thank you very much. it's time for the weather on al jazeera. here is wrong with the updates and north america is now well spent to continues on surprisingly in canada and most of the central northern newest states. it isn't a big surprise to find once again. it's snowed in toronto now the stuff has gone through, but it's left. as you might expect to study. picturesque view under study,

expected view, but it was a reasonable dump of snow. several tend to be using see, and it's still sub 0. now we're going to get a spare within probably 3 days or false. it remains cold and that's certainly position on monday. it's a cold wind that blows through. we some lake effect snow still was likely as you can see, there's not a huge dump. not this time. toronto is full across, so it does bring the scenario back. certainly another cloud to reduce the and then on wednesday it's still cold, but the sun is probably going to break through once again because you're in the winter, but there is a division and it goes through the states here. so more or less virginia sites where this is relatively warm with heavy right. and the potential for big thunder storms in tennessee may be all kentucky or significance there in dc and up to up new jersey and new york. and that line of wind to north an incoming wants for the south exists for the next few days wondering in the night. so that's where the winter is going to be. however, coming in to the west coast, wallace's guiding through on the east, the significant rain again for california,
