9:02 am
afford to a band and its allies now or american leadership is what holds the world together. american alliances, what keep us, american, say american values, what make us a partner the nation you want to work with? put all that at risk and we walk away from ukraine. return our backs on israel. it's just not worth it. that's why the more i'm going to send to congress an urgent budget request to fund another. just ask for security needs to support are critical partners, including israel and ukraine. is a smart investment is going to pay dividends for americans. security for generations help us keep american troops out of harm's way, help us build a world that is safer and more peaceful, more prosperous for our children and grandchildren. earlier i spoke to the w. william blue cross about biden's,
9:03 am
unusual staff of delivering an address from the oval office. it is unusual. i'm trying to remember a time when the us president gave a major prime time, national address about something going on on far away, especially a war that the us actually isn't officially directly involved. that right? no boots on the ground, no american lives at risk. but this actually kind of signals a shift in, in what us power means in the world these days, right? it's not so much military power anymore. of course, united states still has a mass of military i would spend and our arms itself more than any other country in the world. but american power these days is money. is it the financial system, its ability to back its allies with huge amount of financial support? and that's kind of what the speech is now. so we're seeing the shift actually from american military power to american financial and, and, and money, power. and it's, it's support for sort of wars in its interest, even though it's not directly involved talking money by who has said he will request more funding,
9:04 am
billions for both ukraine and is real. what are the chances of that funding getting congressional approval really as well famous last words and i'll never make predictions live on air about what may or may not happen in politics, specifically us politics. give them what's going on right now. that said, i'm sure it, at the end of the day, something will pass. there is still bipartisan support for ukraine, although it is waning a bit. and there are a strong, strong, strong on wavering decades long support on both sides of the aisle for israel. so given that something will happen, but what is going to take to get there, how much it's going to be, what concessions might have to be made in terms of security on the border with mexico, other republican pet projects, so to speak. that's gonna be the big question. there's negotiations. and of course the congress right now is paralyzed. can't actually give the money that bite and wants even if they wanted to, because there's, of course, no speaker in the house. the congress is completely bogged down in its own internal
9:05 am
mass trying to get a leadership going so that they can move forward on the legislative agenda. so it's going to take a while never mid november is when the money the current money runs out. we can see another government shut down the us present is also urging is real not to be in his words. blinded by rage. is that biden asking is real to show restraint and it's looming ground defensive in the gaza strip whitley. so it certainly sounds like direct vitamins walking, a fine line saying of course israel has the right to defend itself. of course it has the right to respond to how much of the attack, but there is still international law to comply with. there is still a horrible situation in gaza that israel is largely responsible for in terms of humanitarian side of things. and she did make note about america's own 911 experience, the major mistakes of the us made in terms of his policy decisions and undermining its own values when it comes to torture and the kinds of surveillance that it employed after in what you've saw,
9:06 am
that security needs so it's trying to caution is real, don't do what we did. try to make smart decisions, think crudely and rationally, even in this incredibly tragic time for them. william, thanks for your analysis. that was the w. william blue cross united nations secretary general antonio gutierrez, is on his way to the rough of border crossing between egypt and the gaza strip. that's for a limited number of trucks are expected to deliver humanitarian aid into gaza in the coming hours following a plan announced by us president joe biden. garza is currently experiencing severe shortages of fuel food and medicines, is relaunched airstrikes and gaza and sealed the territory all from supplies after almost militants entered israel almost 2 weeks ago, and killed at least 1400 people. the u. n. chief says more than 2000000 are at risk
9:07 am
of dehydration and waterborne diseases in gaza. c v with the same guys, a desperate need car services and supplies and formats. we need the rep if any be this you may have had an excess. we need for what that amanda, cnn's full mouth. we need it at scale, and we need it to be sustains. spring and cream laurie here, who's a journalist in egypt, capital cairo green. what are egyptian authorities saying about when a delivery is to gaza? will resume as one of the top is that it is set for today. uh that also are in the presence of the un generous secretary gutierrez. and officially it's not open yet because there is extensive se repair work here, especially on the palestinian sides. the because this area, since the wall was, is what broke out. it was bumped or 4 times and its vicinity into the,
9:08 am
in the streets, to the border crossing it has fixed suspended stress. i hear that a 10 notice also on to this moment strongly in the background to view is, is really easy about how much sheets will be allowed in. and to know it's supposed to be only 20 trucks that can go to specific locations. once the board is open at, but of course we'll get you to the site. there are many, many more trucks lined up to talk to us about that this waiting 8 or 3000 tons right now on the other side. and talk for sure would be also about the 4 initiative possibilities for them to leave the gaza strip. yeah, this is the border crossing issue. since these tries to be the 2 things saying that they can go all told if it comes to comes in, this is all the probably under discussion that says no, it's not sure if and when discussing is where the opening today know we're talking
9:09 am
about the humanitarian aid for people who are living under extremely difficult conditions and civilians who are or are facing serious health issues. among other things are hungry. why has it been so difficult kareem to get the aide flowing back into gaza? or was it just has to be done in quoted they should be shipped to how much is ran into you and it, it seems to be very, very difficult from the different site. they are ready to bring the 8 and the big topic for the addiction side is about crossing the border, opening the boat across an end for the part of students to lead from there. there's a big fear, information about the policy in exodus from gaza. you should present this, you see just said that the couldn't more, it was not just the, it's fighting home us and, but also an attempt to, to push to begin inhabitants to migrate, to use it as that's a specifics here. yes. i understand that is a lot of students are a trauma about
9:10 am
a number of the few that part of students. once again, would it be forcefully displayed this place they have to know in their history when ever they escaped to another country, they were never allowed to spec and i think this is really the big issue. this is also the issue in jordan, this is the issue in the ship right though. why they are so reluctant that the students can come from the gaza strip. kareem, thank you very much for now. that was journalist, dream, l g o r e reporting from egypt. capital. kyra palestinian militants continue to apply rockets from, goes into israel on thursday. this says is really forces destruct targets in the gaza strip throughout the day, including in the south of the territory where israel has told gardens to head for their own safety. want explosion there reportedly killed and injured several people including children,
9:11 am
our father carrying his child to the grave. it was one of 3 children among those receiving the final rides. on this barren patch of land prey is a house to the south refrigerator, the aircraft hovering above a constant maintenance to the palestinians below. and a reminder of the s drive on the town of con, eunice killed, the civilians being buried here. hundreds of thousands of palestinians affect the northern part of the gaza strip of to israel, told them to leave for the south run out of food and desperate for shelter. they have found no reprieve from israel's relentless bowman. complain the we came from kansas city. they told us to come to the south, so we came to the south and then we found that the strikes intensified in the south . but if we stayed in a house in front of us, there was strikes behind us and strikes. there's no safety. there's no way of
9:12 am
saving guns, so how do you have to be ready to dine and to just stay in your house. also israel virus to continue talking. how much of a gaza be when there is a threat originating or uh, being conducted against israel from the south and we will strike absolutely and it will soon move. it's powerful. i mean to the strip. israel's defense minister told troops messing on his border. oh my god, i promise you that whoever sees go. so now from a fault, we'll see it from the inside. good luck. and he's ready to ground operations will likely focus on the north, at least in the initial stages with how much they expect it to put up faith resistance. but by the confines of southern god, the may still prove a century of thoughts. husband boucher is
9:13 am
a journalist in gaza earlier i asked him about the humanitarian situation there. the beginning of during the situation was getting on and on. no electricity, no or at all. no doing can go to uh no, you can uh, limited access to to uh, nope. okay. no trucks coming in. uh, people are logging on basically in for 3 shots at their store and people cant afford some stuff. but still on those on, um, some people are stay, you know, on the schools and they are providing everything that you, that now sold and according to the limited amount that they have for show all the services, i mean structured all down now the badly we are connected on the phone, if it comes to those,
9:14 am
not the time that people are not communicate to the dealer and people that know here and no official like how long that goes. i can't live with the current situation. it's their efforts to resume a deliveries to guys of across the border with egypt or palestinians in gaza, expecting those a deliveries to resume to actually reach them. well this is like once that or how and when this a blow come from the reports that it would come today. but seems like up to now nothing came anything to dawn far. um, with that, with that with they are talking about 20 trucks, which is very limited. adding this would be so that you particularly uh wonder, well, uh may be with a twist and we didn't know yet about the mac connected. and i didn't know how,
9:15 am
how this would be distributed to the people, the other people in the south or on the phone for fiji are staying at the schools. is there any place in gaza where the people there can flee to and be safe? actually no. i'm, i'm displaced myself with my family for the 3rd time and explore um many people with their places in north and the dog. a city to the south. you know, overnight here i'm just going to college this rap. i'm still here, the environment and it strikes me more money reports about every strikes. for how can you switch to how many buildings were destroyed, there are many people killed in different strikes, but we can't really have to say that it's more than $2.00. and more here is, is continued, but still there are many people killed by
9:16 am
a warranty. today it strikes husband, thank you very much for your reporting. that was during those times and pollution speaking to us from gaza. thank you. or israel says more than $200.00 people were taken hostage by hoss during the terror attacks earlier this month. and that includes the elderly, the disabled him, children, the hostages captured in southern israel and taking the goals are likely to be used as a bargaining tool. but they're distraught. families are urging the is really government to prioritize their safe return on a wall outside the is really defends ministry in tel aviv and on walls across is real. the images of those taken and missing. these are the government most focus, 1st the phone on doing whatever is necessary. you know that to release the hijacked
9:17 am
people in the october 7th attack, come off terrorist killed indiscriminately and it kidnapped civilians, soldiers, the elderly, disabled, and children. so many children. now the hostages are somewhere in the gaza strip or under it in the untold hundreds of kilometers of tunnels. tomas has built now there'll be lots of effort putting to coordinating identifying load casey where the hostages all being tapped as much as possible. and of course, in the background, this talk of potentially hostage rescue attempts, but these are very, very dangerous options with not always a guarantee chance of success or what, how much recognizes scott walker says, is that is we all has consistently prioritize the safe return of their citizens,
9:18 am
so you can add the vin no case in point. the 19 year old is rarely soldier held by him. us for 5 years is we'll got him back by giving up more than a 1000 palestinian prisoners to him. us. they always want to take captives. they know what captains can do. one is really soldier people actually, and that's the price of israel is willing to pay. the hostages ruthlessly taken on october 7th, and likely guarded now by some of the hamas kidnappers face a lengthy captivity. and indeed, the threat of death from the captors. the families of those hostages are shaken and afraid desperate for any word, and hopeful that the images of their sisters, brothers, parents, grandparents remain in the forefront of israel's moves against him. us earlier dw is nicole, literally it was joined by 2 relatives of german hostages, taken by hum us running. romans sister was getting up and audi soleski,
9:19 am
aunt and uncle were taking. let's listen it. a start was you when you, when did you last hear from your sister and her sister in law has also been taken by home us. where were they? actually i was in the south africa with my father and when we saw the last message from my sister that says that they are all right with the picture of her and her 3 or 3 years old kid guessin. and that's fine. actually, it's kind of weird to say it, but with that it's, it's a years old they, they have a routine of alarms getting into the shelter. so we wasn't very afraid. so, but as a time pass on, we realize that this is very different situation. and this is unusual, extremely unusual. and um,
9:20 am
since 10 am and saturday morning, we haven't heard from her. what about you audio? what? what was the last you knew of your uncle and your aunt says so like on i said on saturday morning we own a little cafe fomor beside alarms. and again, not something to unusual. a but then i heard on the tv and that a terrorist of a broken into his room and the mexican, a mother and a member. so fed nicky with even in the gaza strip. and then i hear that to my cousin is crying on the tv saying that their dad a was pictures in gaza. and that's how i found out you found out on tv. yes. and, and they were in bazy and keep boats. one of those sites of where he was busy and
9:21 am
took a hard hit in this terror attacked 140 ne, in this for now. and that's and then we'll just keeps rising. and the loss of hostages also from the keyboards. and it's, it's very concerning, and my mom is from the q, what's the issue up there? it's such a nice place to go there all the time. and just seen those pictures from the keyboards. he just feels like a nicer is like a whole movie. and you, unfortunately share this faith with, with many other families and as well right now, does it give you any sort of solace that you can to share this argument that you're in this together? well that i would say that there is a lot of so there was a right now and between the people are, these are
9:22 am
a lot of people are volunteering to help and people will collapse to the army. and the one before the and the 2nd one of the we were divided any 0 and full politic issue is busted right now. i say it's safe to say this well, all the in this together. and it doesn't matter right now about politics. we just one day to get this over with the being ahead of the horses back home and then truly faithfully. and this is the top priority of the government to bring the hostages home. have they've been in touch with you and your families? are they keeping you in the loop or they keeping you informed to they know anything about where your family members are? and i think that our government has the to everyone. what was really in shocked. nobody expect these attacks. so it took some time for the government to understand and i think that even right now they don't
9:23 am
really understand. we don't know this, the final numbers of the people who the murder of the people who gets kidnapped. so until now there is a lot of knowing that the government is trying to reach us and keep us updated, but they don't know. my sister is still in the status of missing, although i'm sure that she's given up. i, i know it, we were at the point that she was last seen, and my brother for 5 days was in the warfield and looking for her no signs of blood, them, no signs of a fight. so for sure, they just written up her after for a runaway, and we're waiting for information and we're waiting for a sign of life. and that this is also,
9:24 am
there isn't that we are here in germany because we really do need every help to, to, to know what is their condition. your sister is a german citizen. yeah. and your uncle as a german awesome is there on his a german citizen. what kind of support have you been receiving from the german government since you arrived here? and we arrived here after almost 2 weeks that we were in this in saying, as you said, movie in israel. and we just decided that we need germany by our side and actually not buyer's side with our side. because we are a german citizens and germany shouldn't be a real axis here in a are a real actor, not only a 3rd party, this is a matter also of germany. so we came here and i have to say really, we already met the chancellor and mr. bad book and
9:25 am
a lot of people in the parliament and we really feel a lot of support and commitment to us to, to help our loved ones. and i really do hope that they will do more than everything that they can. first of all, to bring us a sign of life and then right after then get them released. you know, there is talk about an imminent ground offensive, of course, also with the aim of a freeing the hostages. it. how do you feel about that? because it comes with a lot of danger, of course, and well, i don't know what to say, but because i'm, i'm not familiar with what the actions to be all i know is i want a 0 and germany as well. do anything they can to bring on their hostages. eh,
9:26 am
we don't, we don't know what it dates, but a, i'm sure, eh, that you will do anything it takes to feel hurt at this point. and so in germany, i've been here for 2 days and or we have received with this love and so forth. and all the and the politicians, we may say also the public a love as hulu, saving it, it really is comforting a to be here, although the steeler eh, on to some of the k actions here in berlin left there. that's, that's everyone to was right now. yeah. because we're, we're on the safe everywhere and nothing is well, and that's outside of israel. that is very unfortunate reality. so if you had a message for your sister right now, or would it be the only thing that um i think that's the only thought that my sister has in her mind right now that she
9:27 am
doesn't know that guessing he is alive. heard on her daughter. yeah, she doesn't know that she with her father succeed to hide and got back to the army for. so this is the only thing that i would tell her because i know that she knows that i love her. i know that she knows as every one of us or her family is doing everything that we can to get her back. so i don't need to tell that. oh, what about you? so i just, i just so they're both safe. i hope there's together and i'm really concerned about my aunt as well because rise has a lot of them even disease and she takes of peers medic, a medically, a lot of peers every day. and then it's been 2 weeks now that she hasn't received the name of that goes tension. i assume we don't know. and that's why we need a, the help of the monetary age for the hostages as soon as possible, because we don't know how much time she has left without those
9:28 am
a we know those medical, their time is running out. this is not the events that happened in the 7th of october. this is still, we're still under attack. my sister was also and at least $200.00 more adapt take not um people there are still under attacked. and i also would like to say that this is not an issue about israel and palestine. really, it's not, this is about terror and the liberal world. they were and i started a war against our army because of a matter of ideology, ideal logics issues. this is innocent people, woman,
9:29 am
