9:03 pm
completely beyond comprehension since the 80 hours of this morning we have been closely monitoring the interior of heavy machinery and the essential mode bye of homes that have been promised to be allowed to access the gaza strip following the intense pressure of being made by regional mediators. but what has been said, because this tree about only to build those is that top into, to via the current mobile side of the crossing. and they have moved to the central area to stop operating in gaza today. but basically what we understand is that there has been different violations being made regarding the medical evacuations that had been promised to be taking place in causal with the sump. as of typically a wounded patients that have been not yet met based on the times of the deal. and in order to understand this more backs on how does the medical secretary and does that look like for you. i'm going to right now by doing this that christopher a hold and he is a bunch of my adults operating in gaza. thank you so much for your time today. we
9:04 pm
know that this is your 1st visit to guys to tell us more about your experience. what did you seeing cause pad the function of hospitals and what is mostly urgently needed in order to help medical texting garza to operate under such extensive interview circumstances. so i'm here work in the not the hospital with the local doctors and as a representative puns. but which is so started here in new zealand based and i'm seeing so it's just across all sectors really. i really think in terms of the large that con, got in the products, the kind guy in these things know within my rebate. well, i do see is the kid without the inhaler. the kid yesterday you had no insulin for his diabetes. i see people without the regular onto apple upticks. i see people with waiting, so i cannot find the right antibiotic for. i'm seeing so she's across the board, which i'm having here now. sex on the population right in front of me. so from your own perspective, what does the medical set to really needs in order to stop providing the minimal
9:05 pm
level of cap a light of the very limited fraction of a debt had been allowed to access because of since the implementation of the currency site deal. yeah, well 1st thing site is the doctors and says on the students here, apps who lives inside the heroes of the space and an onset to your question, what do we need? the quick round. so it'd be what don't we need. we need everything that stay on his choice. um, great doctors, we have a lot more on needed, especially so so, but i can think of anything that is a good supply here. um we need and boxed and regulators, we need basic medications. basic size placements adults has done have scrubs for operations and there are all sorts of of missing items across the board. i'm don't have that big ole. you'll see, i'm not a politician. i see the need in front of me and like i say, we're missing all sorts of equipment. thank you so much for your time. this is a very remarkable testimony that has been made by one of the buttons mailboxes here
9:06 pm
in cause of what has visited the causes to it for the 1st time we meet tomorrow. if you is that, because this trip has been really subjected to just the military plans and hospitals have been a key element in the military campaign that has been launched by his fail. that's also linked to a significant drop, a section which lights a has serious repercussions on the health sector. and the possibility also for palestinians twisting to receive life saving treatment that is no longer available key in the strip. all right, that sounds as here as tar couple as i'm joining us live from what i find in southern gaza. thanks so much start. let's cross now to note all day in the jordanian capital. i'm mine. she's there because these really government and palestinian authority a band i'll just hear from reporting from inside israel and the occupied to us bank, nor what is israel said. it will give in return for the release of the 4 bodies and the 6 living captives to hama. then in
9:07 pm
return for the for bodies. israel is going to release half of the women and children is really forces forcibly disappeared from god's that we don't know what that number is because it's relevant in use to refuse to disclose information about palestinian civilians for simply disappeared from the territories since the beginning of the war in exchange for the 6th living is really captive, as well as going to release several 100 palestinians imprisoned a and serving life sentences and long sentences, including 47. it had already released in a previous exchange deal in 2011 and re a arrested in 2014. but really, what is very interesting, what is key here is that is really is going to do all of that and also pledge to fulfill its obligations under the deal in effect. but his real has done is read,
9:08 pm
negotiate the term terms of the phase, one of the cease fire agreement considering allowing the trucks and the uh, 10 send the mobile homes and a cheese month, a compromise, if you will, even though it was clearly stipulated in the terms of the ceasefire agreement that it would do that in phase one, it hasn't done so, and now it is considering it as part of the expedited timeline, how much has given and nor where do things stand right now when it comes to negotiations regarding phase 2 of the ceasefire or well, if you ask the families of is where they kept as they would say that's more pressure is needed on nothing. yeah. so because they've repeatedly accused him of trying to sabotage the deal of not going to face to of sacrificing the lives of the remaining captives because they are soldiers. and he is more interested in keeping his
9:09 pm
coalition together. a coalition that by enlarged really is not a committed, are happy about the idea of stopping the ward withdrawing from gaza. but we have heard from the prime minister's office that nothing. yeah. who will send his clothes confidant to the minister of a strategic affairs. wrong durham, or he will be the one in charge of negotiations on phase 2, which indicates how closely nothing yahoo will be monitoring and controlling those thoughts. but at least we now have an announcement. the phase 2 of the negotiations will begin at some point at starting with talks with the us envoys. steve would cost, right, does not, or are they live for us from that, or danny and capital? i'm on. thanks so much more. i don't want to. shara is, elders are a senior political analyst, he joins us now from durham. we're one good to get a chance to speak with you how mazda is going to release the last 6 living is really captive that holes and gaza on saturday. from your perspective, is that going to be the end of its bargaining power?
9:10 pm
no, no, actually that's not but, but clearly it's bargaining power does diminish with each and every gap there's being released. there's no doubt about that. not this very particular 3 because as you know this, them have a 50 plus and almost half of them are a 3rd of them are live. so i think they still have something to buy them with. when can or should be using a word of that nature. but just in a sense, that the speeding of, of the process from 2 weeks to one week really it's something worth contemplating too much or something that, that bought nothing. you know, and of a how much do there's a felt. busy you know, there's to good just to get it all, but within order to get on to face to that, everyone seems to pressure, including the companies that addictions. and there might that they want some movement or be it, they get their bubbles mentor. now,
9:11 pm
in terms of i get doing something about is to my one a just a few minutes ago. know what are they in mind was telling our viewers, the israel is renegotiating the terms of the phase one agreement as it goes along. i'm israel is preventing a multitude of aid that it should be allowing in as part of phase one. what hope is there that it will withdraw its troops from gaza as part of phase 2? very unlikely. that the short answer, the slightly longer answer is that there's nothing that we hear today. i'm not that we haven't heard over the past, say 30 years plus. since the so called peace process started even since demetrika international conference for peace started back in 1991 the hard to say tactics back then in 1991 you'll probably get them to remember. but luckily i was the spokes person for the is really that edition and madrid when show me it was the pregnancy, a bench from then on. nothing, you know has lived his way to the,
9:12 pm
for the most trip, and becoming the longest serving as a prime minister. he lived his way through some 34 years. all politics. he is a political animal. and he masters the game of for a long cations no. deadlines are sacred. we've changed our minds. we are deliberating and date of birth, and again, why, of course, the fed a senior and suffer. and gosh, i liked about a senior stuff before everyone else, including the end of westbank. but none of these tactics i knew when we should be shocked at all by any of it. this is the way things are handled by this read. it seems that that is the stronger part the it had to um, it had to give in uh to have us on the 1st chaise, especially under american pressure. so it's hard to release and it's more than hundreds of of a better signal. please know that now we'd have to use even more so it can really
9:13 pm
been a bit to human the i did uh buy have mouse and phase one, especially with the optics coming out of gas. have mass coming out of the ashes of just by. yeah. and i knew it is and, and guys on the phone and then the cap is being right there on the, is there any military noses? right? so all of that now is basically the going to be behind this coming saturday. and i think is there is going to do it. it's best to start human. do you think time us as have mass bags for the i'm not going to sit back, ask demands for more human and getting it to good to get in is right. is going to be more or more exhibit stubborn impact extremist and inhumane. number one, you mentioned there, american pressure, which is what i wanted to ask you about next. because over the course of the last few weeks, there's been so much speculation that perhaps we weren't even going to see the end of phase one, perhaps the ceasefire was going to collapse altogether. i'm curious from your
9:14 pm
perspective. is there any indication right now that the us is pressuring is real, to stand by of ceasefire commitments? you know, but there is pressure. one is bad to stand by. it's a factors versus political prisoners exchange. yes. and why do i say that? it's because some of the very beginning of the americans and these right is i'm special. trump, in this case, do you, the process is about exchange exchange of captives for prisoners. the palestinians disagree with that as a ceasefire, and that's where the end, the war didn't cut out for that equal destruction because it isn't americans to see it that way. the media to see that way. meaning egypt i've got the address of the out of world, the americans don't see that with the european. see it that way as a ceasefire. that's why they bought it on at the security council. that's not how nothing y'all encompassing. they see it simply as an exchange,
9:15 pm
and americans are pressuring is ready to try to get the last of the captors call. that's what trump ones. it's not about the ceasefire. it's not about the human advantage situation does anything as we, i've good report date and everyone else drop one folder by the students also guys, because of what the humidity of the situation to improve and gather and setting it up. now it doesn't want to sign on any face to of ending the war of withdrawn from guys or what have mass remains intact. we know that he, they told us that from the very beginning the water will not and, and nothing is going to happen on. and then i don't just have that sleeves, whatever. how much leaves means. so here we are stuck, i think in terms of the political aspect off this, i think it's going to be very difficult now with the mid call, especially in both of them, at least as you're just doing your part thing with the shower, being busy with ukraine southern new, he is now the america at by the trump special invoice,
9:16 pm
the brand new to have very little or very, very much less time to spend on the question of his or i thought his time. so i think whatever the pressure is, as, as i said, it's going to be less on the political and more on the exchange. all right, that sounds as you're a senior political analyst middle of the shot. i'm the one who's always thanks so much, great to get your perspective is really forces have stormed educational facilities, run by the you in agency for palestinian refugees in the occupied west bank and east wrist when it's after prime minister benjamin netanyahu ordered the enforcement of a new law banning on was activities. israeli soldiers use tear gas and south bombs at a training center in columbia and the occupied west bank and ordered everyone inside to leave. while unoccupied, east jerusalem, an elementary boy school was forced to close. its really forces also entered to other schools in the occupied west bank. local sources say the israeli army is demolishing at least 14 palestinian homes in port cut them. refugee camp is part of the large scale military operation that began nearly
9:17 pm
a month ago is really forces have stormed refugee camps and palestinian towns destroying homes and public facilities. initially, the raids were focused on jeanine and the north of the territory. but have since expand it to north shops, refugee camp, and to look at them more than 3 quarters of the population of 13000 people had been forcibly expelled. is there among the more than $40000.00 palestinians is rarely soldiers have forced from their homes in the occupied west bank. the un says refugee camps are being rendered uninhabitable. it is compared these really military operation to which strategy and gaza, or hon. reports and tie will float out the streets, dug out of electricity lines, pulled down people's homes, left unrecognizable doors. johnston took room is the latest target in the full weeks. these radius salt of the northern occupied westbank. the un says the destruction is rendering comes on in habitable and thousands of people inside of
9:18 pm
being forced out when they don't catch, they are forcing people to leave the houses. you can't even imagine the situation of the army comes in force of children, woman and senior to leave. my neighbor is 18 years old and she has a sign in a wheelchair and they force them out to. it's ready for us is road um its vehicles of both places in did you need last month saying they will not leave until they root out a policy and fight as you and says people a stuck in sick because displacement for repeated and destructive operations originally built to house people displaced by rules of 1948 from 9067. now the defendants of those of the refugees of being forced, once again from their homes. and i will say, i'm not sure me. i came to know some scam from jeanine with my daughter to seek shelter. we came to the camp and found that it is to round it by the armies. we are
9:19 pm
trapped, and distribution is catastrophic. the people in notions know that to stay would be risking their lives. many cling to plastic bags packed with clothing as they organize vehicles to leave. red crescent walkers help the sick, disabled and elderly and children help each other. old findings shows where they come in. schools, most or with friends, they don't know when it will be safe to attend, or whether they would even have homes to return to, nor hon. onto xerox. the lebanese government says that it has the right to use all possible means to insure the full withdrawal of israeli troops from the south is calling israels presents and 5 points near the border. an occupation after a ceasefire deadline expired. on tuesday, residents returning to their home, say their villages have been left unrecognizable, seem to hold their reports from clark, you left in southern 11 on close to the as really border that they,
9:20 pm
we did for hours while israeli troops completed their withdrawal of lebanese families, were supposed to return to their villages near the border in late january, in line with a ceasefire agreement that ended 14 months of conflict between as well and has beloved in november, but as well delayed its pulled out the tuesday and not at all, but just hold on a 2nd i'm waiting, i want to enter for to loan, that will be on destruction. on whatever i just want to go to click clone, i'd rather be buried there than elsewhere. i just want to enter the credit. you know, this is the only thing i am asking. hollywood many returning home say their villages are unrecognizable so much of their lives. erased park killer was among the hardest hit during the conflict with intense fighting and bombardment. but it's really troops also deliberately destroyed structures while they were here during the ceasefire. were turning is not an option without basic infrastructure and surfaces
9:21 pm
. there is shock and disbelief, but defiance a lot and leave a ton to despite the destruction. what is important to us that we came back and not these really and to me has led these really. the army, however, remains and hill top positions just inside blood on to guard against what it called ceasefire violations by has a lot. the government says it's use the soldiers presence as an occupation and will complain to the un security council. well, i mean the analogy. what is the, as israel continues to turn a blind eye to their obligations, dishonoring all its promises. the conferring parties declared the following. firstly, to resort to the un security council being the body that endorsed resolution 17 o one and cut out all the while is ready. drones are still overhead. when the states fire came into effect as ready, prime minister benjamin nothing. yeah. who said it didn't signal an end to the conflict with hezbollah since then, is rarely strikes have been targeting?
9:22 pm
what is ready, the army calls, as well as assets. is really military is promising to continue acting against has the law. if the lebanese army fails to do so, the army is now in charge of this region. it's tasked with pushing back has the law as well as this arming it's fight. there's a major test for a state long absent center for their elza, 0 southern 11 on the senior, russian. and us diplomats have concluded a 4 and a half hour meeting and saudi arabia on the war and ukraine. they've agreed on appointing high level teams to help negotiate and into the war. stephanie decker reports as a new us administration and a new foreign policy approach. now, happy to sit together with the russians and talk about the war in ukraine. the goal

9:26 pm
. draw. stratford has more from keith. gray's president below him is that is key, has yet again said that any deal agreed in totes the t crane on pops off. will not be rec, realize, despite the relatively positive tone coming from us and russian officials in re out we've been trying to gauge the mood ways, members, all village, these policy members of parliament here in q. and also one member of what he sold the outcome of these 2 scenarios would be absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing at best. what can happen, the negotiations might start, but i don't believe in the prospects of such an ocean for very simple reason because our goals, i mean, russian and ukraine's goals are irreconcilable. they're diametrically opposed and
9:27 pm
put you in the rush or they have never. if you look at the history, they have never conducted negotiations on this negotiations. first go wins on to say that there would be no territorial concessions by you grain. referring to the almost 20 percent of ukrainian territory that is on the russian control. he said that this would fly in the face of international lord, instead of a terrible precedent which would predict future risks. terms of security, not only to ukraine, but why to you or wednesday tomorrow cube is expecting the arrival of the us special envoy to ukraine. keith campbell, he is expected to be here to 3 days or more risk of described as purely a fact finding mission police that kind of rhetoric from members of selected skis, policy that shows just how difficult the road ahead and forward you any last in
9:28 pm
piece plan an individual p settlement is going to be just drive it out to 0 key. a good volker is a former us ambassador to nato, and a former us special envoy for ukraine negotiations. he joins us now for more soccer . thanks so much for being with us here. on august 0, ukrainian president will let him hear zalinski slammed the meeting that took place in the all the called the talks about ukraine without ukraine. us secretary of state, marco rubio said injury all the european leaders and ukraine. and ukraine will be consulted on reaching an end to the war. what do you make of all that? and when do you think ukraine will be consult? right. well, i think that they're making a lot out of not very much when we have done these kind of discussions in the past. for instance, during you bought it and destruction. and then later when i was a special representative, we had consultations with ukraine, with european union, with nato. and we had bilateral meetings with russia,
9:29 pm
and we continue the process. that's exactly what the trump administration is doing now. and there have been consultations with ukraine. i think president trump's had met with zalinski twice in the course of the auto at to con phone conversations with them. had a phone call with tutoring and called zelinski again, immediately the vice president man was zalinski and munich treasury secretary and that was in keys. and there will be ongoing consultations with ukraine as well as with european allies as this process unfolds. and the whole point of today's meeting and saudi arabia was to have a 1st step to see whether it is possible to make any progress with rush off on getting them to stop the war. i personally doubt it. i think that, or at least i doubt that they won't be in agreement. i think it's possible to get a ceasefire. but i am very skeptical that there can be any agreement with russia precisely because of the maximum list objects is that russia has of eliminating
9:30 pm
ukraine as a sovereign state. no one's going to agree to that. all right, and so it is. go ahead. oh no, go ahead, go ahead. kurt was gonna say it is possible. we could end up in a situation where you have a cease fire, but then no further agreement and we end up having to put in place mechanisms to deter future rush depression. all right, so kurt, you mentioned that the us will be consulting the ukraine. they will have consultations with europe. there been a lot of the you countries that have expressed concern saying that they've been sidelined in all of these talks. how will the us address those concerns as well? again, those concerns are not exactly accurate, because we've had consultations with the europeans in nato, in biologic bilaterally in capitals, in addition to with ukrainians as well. and they will continue. so we'll have more . natal means keys kellogg. the special representative was that.
