2:02 pm
the hospital. yeah. when we're about 10 hours more than 10 hours into this uh, operation. and there are times that are now situated in the court yard of the house. but then the. ready sorry inside it, going from from department to department, from room to room and they've been going through a searches they've been going down to the basement. well, i consider that so far and they haven't filed any hoss. that is, this is something that they said that they are looking for and, and also they did not face any resistance inside. and they said that they would expect to see their, the command of how mosque, when so far we haven't seen any indication for that hasn't been any military clash in the inside the hospitals. what do we have seen is really a military have been making arrest of some of those homeless people that are
2:03 pm
inside the house. but they're some of those will be taking a refuge in the hospital alarm. and people that have been taking that being the have cost and they're being taken for interrogation may be the military is suspecting them to have links with the mouse. it's yet to see no military clash as you put it. but the surely tensions are running high. what if anything, have you heard about the people still in the hospital? so when it, when i say a military clash that was outside the complex, there were 5 palestinian gunmen, according to these rarely, military that were killed in a class. and there is shooting around the house, but the time still the hospital is under a siege. and so we, we know the quiet situation that's been a blowing we heard the voices. that's what people are talking in. the hospital
2:04 pm
explosions is real, tried to penetrate certain rooms, certain areas, but i'm talking in terms of like on the resistance. we haven't seen the situation in the hospital itself is, is dire as it as being in the last few days of delivery that we can get is of the, the, the, is a lot of the, most importantly, the electricity. uh, and this is what the prevents from the incubators to work. and this is the kind of thing that they're talking about. the need to evacuate under these circumstances is they need to evacuate the premature babies that maybe to egypt. this is the kind of a solution that they're looking for. so i mean what's, what's the latest on the effort to free the hostages?
2:05 pm
yeah, well we know that the main the play or is a is a cup of and egypt is also playing some, some role is really a head of the security issue and that the agency has gone to egypt. and there's still a disagreement between the parties as to the scope of this a prisoner exchange. i'm the time of the ceasefire and i'm st. prisoner exchange. because already, as much as we know that in return for the release of the israelis, laura held the hostage by how much is read. it wouldn't be returning palestinian and prisoners. at the 1st page, there is talk of a release of children. that means the children that i had hostage by how much will be released and is read, it will be returning a children are miners. the headline is really prisons. and then later on we're
2:06 pm
talking about the other releases of elderly, of women at the other stages. but again, the still disagreements about how long would the ceasefire be, even though there is already an agreement in principle by his rogue, that there will be a supplier of the federal which isn't something which is the most and necessary thing today in the gaza strip. okay, that is a semi circle in jerusalem. many think sammy let's go now to a lieutenant colonel richard hacked a spokesperson for the israel defense forces. i appreciate your joining us again. lieutenant colonel. what can you tell us about the military operation? your forces are carrying out at guns as el cheapo hospital. so this was a event that happened the started last night. based on our intelligence, we ran a focused on the precise target within the component of the hospital with our
2:07 pm
special forces accompanied by a matrix by some of you, medicare and equipment. and a very, very focused the operation. eh, i would say the hospital we have, we engage with some terrace, we're still learning and what happens there that is ongoing is happening as we speak. those forces are still in sight, certain areas of the hospital from all accounts. there are many civilians, including patients and medical personnel, of course inside the hospital complex. how are your forces insuring the safety of those civilians while conducting the military operation? so we're now at right now there's no exchange of fire inside of the hospital. we're going after specific things that we're looking for. and i know that the patients at this point are safe in separate areas. and that's why we came in with a very, very small and professional force. you might have heard the corresponding who
2:08 pm
preceded your appearance. here, there are reports of arrests and interrogations, of those who remained in the hospital for what reasons or people being arrested. and what else can you tell us about interactions between your forces and civilians? there. so if there's somebody to be talked to is probably something that we have it, we want to maybe identify that we want to check if is that connected to come us. but in general, categorically, we are focusing only on the operation to find what we need to find inside the hospital. and so far have you in fact, found people who or have been connected to home us or that you still suspect are connected to homeless? to read what these days are going our own going as, as we speak, got it. doctors and 8 organizations say hospitals in need to fuel need fuel, i should say to operate otherwise people will simply die. israel said some of us will steal the fuel. difficult question. sure, but it's
2:09 pm
a terribly difficult conflict, as you know, do you withhold fuel knowing people will likely die by rationalizing that's the cost of defending yourself. so that's a, that's another right. it might not have to put in a michel, we it today. i'm aware that there's going to be a bit of fuel or you had trucks coming in from egypt is going to be feel we offered the hospital some if you a 2 nights ago. sadly, we didn't vicar. again, we're dealing with a very cynical enemy who i don't think the interest of their own people and civilians are the highest interest. you know, those people say that it wasn't enough fuel, not even enough fuel for an hour. what do you say to that? we offer the fuel. we are we today we brought it incubators, even with the force we were not targeting babies. this is
2:10 pm
a very complex battle space. michael, today, it is going to be fuel coming into the strip. let's hope it gets to where it needs to get to the sick and will it be enough fuel, sir? that's the point it has to look into and please pardon my saying is because there are critics, as you know, all around the world. who would say that looks like a photo up to them. the fact that you're giving them fuel. but if it's not the kind of fuel that they need and the quantities that are usable, then they might as well not be getting it. so will it be enough fuel for them to operate effectively? a 3rd set for today hopefully is if the truck is going to be fuel coming in and trucks, which should be enough for the hospital. but again, the hospital has a capability to evacuate itself to other locations. there's going to be more fuel costs, but those open to the size and the again, this has come out of the responsibility. this is more, it's very unpleasant, michael. we're not to know something we wanted to do. and we've tried everything in our own means to try to get people out of the hospital. but sadly, uh,
2:11 pm
we understood the i'm us are acting in the area of the hospital, maybe underneath the hospital, we have to go check. we did it and then most cautious, way possible, of bringing in and medical people, baby and some humanity and equipment, bringing incubators. we are trying to solve this issue. you just mentioned incubators. we've seen pictures of images of, of, of incubators, along with other equipment that the id f is brought to the hospital. can those incubators operate without some external source of power? mike, michael, if you keep going back to the power, there's going to be hopefully power coming into this trip today, hopefully or while arrive at the hospital. okay, that is a lieutenant colonel richard has really appreciate your time, sir. thank you, michael. britain's the supreme court has ruled that the government's plan to send
2:12 pm
asylum seekers to rwanda is unlawful. the ruling is a major blow to prime minister really soon, ack who's made tackling legal immigration. a key policy plan, he says, is government is already working on a new treaty with rolanda and could change the case was to make it happen. meanwhile, there were one in government says it isn't happy that the court ruling says it's not a safe 3rd country for asylum seekers and refugees. a desperate people making a desperate crossing. i mean, migrants take rubber boats across the english channel, a 32 kilometers journey to seek asylum in the u. k. more than $45000.00 domains of trip in 2022. more than 25000. so far this year. over a 175000 people are awaiting a 1st decision on asylum claims overall. britain's conservative government has made its plan to the port asylum seekers to rewan to the centerpiece of a policy intended to deter people from making the crossing. in april 2022,
2:13 pm
the home secretary struck a deal with a rwanda's foreign minister to send people there while their claims are being processed. a 6500 kilometer flight from britain to central africa, the u. k. has already invested over a $100000000.00 euros in the plan. hotels and rwanda had been converted into lodgings for migrants. still sitting empty. as the plan soon ran into legal challenges. the 1st flight scheduled to depart a military air base and june 2022 was imported and an appeals court has since ruled the plan unconstitutional. critics, the plan isn't just on lawful and inhumane, but wasteful, and expensive to one government assessment says that removing an individual would cost $60000.00 pounds more per year than keeping them in the u. k. it's also unclear just how much of a deterrent effect the plan would ever have. despite all that,
2:14 pm
there have also been calls from within the european union to adopt a similar scheme. eager to cut down on migration other countries have seen the plan as a possible model. a german chancellor. all of salts has been answering lawmakers questioned in the pol him in the buddhist stuff. in his opening remark, schultz again stressed germany's belief in israel's right to defend itself following the homeless terror attacks of october 7th. the chancellor also sent the government support for ukraine remains unbroken. is locked and a big dw as chief political editor, michelle yellow. cliff now has been following events in the bundle stock because of the chancellor schultz has been under some pressure for his position on the israel gauze, a conflict. how did he explain that position to lawmakers in parliament? while he essentially restated the german government position, which is aligned with israel, which also he said in a statement yesterday is
2:15 pm
a democracy that tries to is here a long suited to international human rights. he says this on the very day where his guest, who's coming on friday to the tech, as president labeled israel and i quote, a terrorist state. so that will be a very controversial visit. indeed. thanks. mikayla. more news at the beginning of the next hour. the actually we don't have a choice. so we have little time list to save the planet. so we have to do what we can as fast as possible. we only have $110.00 ration left, just 25 years to implement the greatest revolution. since the tune of the industrial age replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world without exception.
