our international obligations, this really at its core is old school isolationism and something that seems to be playing quite well with his base, which is frightening in addition to the immigration question. but this is something that is going to be key to his campaign in this next year. >> victoria and brendan, thank you so much for being with us this morning. that wraps up the hour for me. i'm jose diaz-balart. you can always reach me on social media. thank you for the privilege of your time. andrea mitchell picks up with more news right now. and right now on "andrea mitchell reports," israel pushes ahead on the ground in gaza, attacking at an around hospitals including horrific images from the largest hospital. outrage around the world. and israel's response from the prime minister on "meet the

press." >> if you want peace, destroy hamas. if you want security, destroy hamas. we want to minimize civilian casualties and we want to minimize casualties on our side while maximizing the casualties on the, of the hamas terrorists. >> and netanyahu also offering some hope for the release of 239 hostages including americans. >> is there a potential deal? >> there could be but i think the less i say about it, the more i'll increase the chances it materials. if a deal is available, well, we'll talk about it when it's there. we'll announce it if it's achieved. >> plus, speaker johnson's two step plan to fund the government. a second shutdown show down in the new year. and a live report from manhattan where former president trump's attorneys are beginning their defense today in the trump

organization civil fraud trial with don jr. back on the stand. good day. the world health organization says gaza's main hospital is no longer functional while others have closed completely. as newborns are dying and protests mount around the world. israel's prime minister countering on "meet the press" with the hope ground operations could lead to a breakthrough to save the hostages. >> we weren't close at all until we started the ground operation. putting pressure on the hamas leadership, that's the one thing that might create a deal. >> do you know where all of the hostages are being held right now, mr. prime minister? >> we know a great deal but i won't go beyond that. >> but that intensifying ground war is raising concerns in the white house and among some on

the senate intelligence committee that israel has gone too far in firing at at around gaza's hospitals. raf, what is the latest on the hospitals and the ground operations? >> reporter: well, andrea, the ground operations are right at the gates of al stifa hospital. officials are saying there is fighting literally in the blocks surrounding the hospital and the world health organization is saying the hospital, the largest, most important medical facility in the gaza strip, is effectively no longer functional. there is no running water. there is no electricity. there is the bare minimum of medical operations going on at this point. there's some 600 patients inside the hospital, but no case is more urgent than the dozens of prematurely born babies who were being held in the neo natal unit there. the electricity is gone. those newborns, some of them younger than this war itself,

have been taken out of their incubators. they were last we heard, being held in the surgery unit at the hospital. dozens of tiny, tiny gazans on two beds being kept together, swaddled to try to keep them warm. in some cases, medical officials respirating them with their hands to keep them breathing. hospital officials tell us at least three of these newborns have died so far. i spoke earlier to a doctor. she is a former head of neo natal care at the hospital. she says she has no doubt in her mind that more of them are going to die if there's not a solution found urgently. now, the israeli military says they tried to deliver over the weekend some 300 liters of fuel to the hospital to power the generators there to keep the lights on. hospital officials, according to the israeli military, would not accept that fuel.

but we understand the hospital needs some 10,000 liters of fuel every day. so these 300 liters would have kept the lights on for a little bit, but not very long, and a much more sustainable solution is needed. this is a scenario we are seeing playing out all across the gaza strip right now that key humanitarian facilities are running out of their last drops of fuel. the united nations says they are going to have to close their humanitarian operations in the next 48 hours if they do not get more fuel. the israelis are saying that hamas is sitting on a major stockpile of fuel that they are not sharing it with the rest of the world. but alarm is growing, not just in western capitals, but all around the region and across the world, just at the scale of this humanitarian crisis which seems to be spiraling out of control inside of gaza. >> thank you. as always. joining us now, we're very pleased to be able to talk to

john kirby, white house national security council coordinator for strategic communications. john kirby, thanks for being with us. it's a tough day. let me start with the hospitals. even if israel's claim that hamas command and control is under al shifa as well as other hospital, other hamas units, even if that were to prove true and my understanding is that the u.s. has not independently confirmed, does that justify striking a hospital? questions have been raised by general brown, cq brown, and others, that even getting a couple of terrorists or a cell doesn't justify targeting a hospital. >> this is the extra burden we've been talking about for the israeli defense forces as they try to go after hamas leaders. you're right. i'm not going to speak about intelligence matters, but it's open source reporting that hamas headquarters themselves in things like hospitals and schools and they have tunnels

underneath residential come plekss. they've put the innocent people of gaza at risk just by how they headquarter themselves. it does create an added burden now for the israeli defense forces. they have a right and a need, in fact, a responsibility, to go after these leadership of hamas, but they also have to be mindful of civilian casualties, as particularly when it come to a hospital where you have patients who, they can't evacuate on their own. they've got significant health issues and your reporter rightly talking about those young, premature babies. they are victims of this as well and they can't help themselves out of this problem. so the israeli defense forces have that extra burden on how to deal with this. >> i filed over the weekend about efforts in the pediatric hospital in the north. we'll have more tonight on that. the rentisi hospital was shut down on thursday after being

warned repeatedly by the idf to have all the patients get out. prime minister said this weekend they can be told to go to the south. they are being told to go to the south. safe zones. the problem is getting there. the roads even along those corridors, roads are disrupted. there is little or any cell phone. they haven't had power to charge their cells. it's very hard even though the u.s., egypt, jordan, and hamas, have approved lists in israel of children to get out. cancer patients. but they can't even round them up. get them to assembly points. even those who have gotten to the south. >> yeah, this is a very difficult situation and there's no question about it. and it's hard to look at those pictures. specifically of those little children and hard to think about young cancer patients whose lives are literally in the balance hour by hour, not able to move themselves out of harm's way. that's why we're going to continue to work with our

israeli counterparts to do everything we can to help make their movement safe, efficient, and possible. the israelis last week made a program now of daily humanitarian pauses for some hours, giving three hours heads up, and also improving and increasing the number of safe corridors. you said some are not easy to traverse and we understand that. which is why we're going to stay latched up with our israeli counterparts to do everything they can to allow safe passage. >> i know you don't want to talk about intelligence, but i have reporting that there is some concern and pressure on the administration for israel to produce more evidence about what they say is going ton in the hospitals. >> i'm not going to talk about our diplomatic conversations and i'm certainly not going to get into matters of intelligence. it's open source reporting. it's out, it's public that this

is a tactic by hamas. they do headquarter themselves in places of civilian infrastructure. whether that's schools or government buildings or hospitals. certainly tunnelling under homes. they deliberately try to place the people of gaza, innocent palestinians, between them and the israeli defense forces because they know that the burden is on the israel in defense forces to try to preserve and protect civilian life. they know that and they're deliberately putting these people in harm's way. we talk about the law of war, law of armed conflict and i've heard people talk about war crimes. it is against the law of armed conflict to do what hamas is doing. tunnels and creating human shields out of the people of gaza. >> just to be clear, i understand that they've done that before. there's a lot of assumptions being made here, but i know at least that you don't have

independent corroboration. >> i'm going to be careful about what i say about intelligence but it's common knowledge this is a tactic for hamas. they have done this for many, many years. >> what can you tell us about the suggestion from the prime minister to kristen welker that there could be a deal? that there's some positive hope to hold on to hostage families. we don't want to hold out false hope to these suffering people. >> i'll tell you, yeah, andrea. we've been working this literally hour by hour. since we knew hostages were taken. with our counterparts in the region andome of those counterparts have direct lines of communication with hamas and you know that. and we're talking to them as well to do everything we can to get all the hostages released, including of course, the small number of americans that we believe are being held hostage. i don't have any developments to speak to or announcements to make today. as the prime minister said, and i agree with him, the less we say publicly, probably the better chances of success we're

going to have. but i can assure you, we are working on this very, very hard and hopefully, we can make some progress here and get those folks back with their families where they belong. >> the u.s. has now conducted its third round of retaliatory strikes in syria. this time, notably killed several iranian. deterrence doesn't seem to be working. >> well, again, these groups, the irgc, revolutionary guard core that works for the supreme leader, they've got choices to make. if they want to keep attacking our troops in iraq and syria and keep threatening our facilities and folks in harm's way, we're going to respond appropriately to mitigate that threat. these were targets that went at the irgc's ability to continue to provide capabilities to these groups. we're not looking for conflict. we don't want to see any more attacks. we've got to do what we've got to do to protect our troops and

facilities and we'll keep doing that. >> john kirby, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> good to be with you. and new speaker, same problem. mike johnson facing his first big test as leader of the house of representatives with time running out to avoid a government shutdown. and shots fired. a secret service agent protecting the president's granddaughter discharging his weapon in georgetown. we'll have the details on that when "andrea mitchell reports" is back in just 60 seconds. you're watching msnbc. t 60 secos you're watching msnbc.

[deep breath] welcome back. republican speaker mike johnson is pitchinanunconventional plan to avoid a government shutdown ahead of friday's deadline. a stopgap proposal creating a second budget deadline early in the new year. funding does not include budget cuts while dropping israel and ukraine aid and border aid. all of which were in the president's supplemental.

the white house is calling it a recipe for more republican chaos. joining me now is garrett haake and former republican congressman, fred upton. garrett, first to you. i heard you this morning calling this weird. >> it is weird. >> it is weird. and it not only postponed the inevitable, but it creates twice as many challenges for senate and house. it's really been criticized by both republicans and democrats in both parties. houses, i should say. >> the speaker took a clean cr, which a lot of far right republicans don't like, just a temporary stopgap with one line. >> continuing resolutions. >> they said how about we do two where about a third of government programs will run out of money in january. the rest in february. that's an approach that made nobody really happy. they don't have the spending cuts republicans like. the supplemental spending democrats like.

democrats are looking at this like okay, this is not the least worst option here. if it still gets us through the holidays and into the new year with the government open, it might be good enough, but we'll see. the public opposition has been growing among republicans since the speaker announced it over the weekend. they've got some different procedural votes to pass before they can take it to the floor. >> so clearly, they would need some democratic votes to bridge the gap, which is what the previous speaker fired and fred, are democrats just saying they might hold their nose and vote for it because right now, they don't want to be in favor of a shutdown, blamed to sort of push the blame game down the road towards maybe later this week. >> well, the dems are meeting tonight. so we'll find out what hakeem wants to do. phillips said he's going to vote for it. >> democratic congressman from minnesota. probably running for president. >> no, he is running for president. i think he's given up the house. so, but, you know, the issue is

we've known about this deadline now for what, seven weeks. so, doesn't go regular order. doesn't have a committee hearing or mark up. it's announced saturday afternoon what the deal is. doesn't go through appropriations at all. they're going to have maybe the first couple of votes. i think there's still a good likelihood they get jammed by the senate. but it just kicks can down the road until january. >> and it goes down the road. meanwhile, you're just back from the debate. great coverage. >> thank you. >> and now what are the major, you know, someone who's thought to be a major contender, very well liked among his colleagues is tim scott. >> that's right. i think if republican senators were the only ones casting vote, tim scott would be the next president but he never really grew his constituency much. he was not much of a factor nationally. he was a slightly bigger player in iowa where his campaign had gone all in in recent months.

his stepping back may create more space for nikki haley or ron desantis, someone not named trump to pick up votes in iowa. never really caught fire nationally. his debate performances were weak frankly and did not get stronger. i think the campaign saw the writing on the wall after last week. >> he had evangelical support which is why they thought it would help him in iowa. very well funded. we have a little bit of him making the surprise announcement i think on fox last night. >> when i go back to iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. i am suspending my campaign. i think the voters who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really clear that they're telling me not now, tim. i don't think they're saying no, but i do think they're saying not now. >> and he's from south carolina, which is why this really might help nikki haley. notably, he has not said

anything critical about donald trump nor donald trump about him. could he be a vice presidential choice if donald trump is the nominee? >> i think it's certainly a possibility. i think there's a lot of folks in the trump camp who would like to see the former president select a woman, but he does have a good relationship with scott. they worked together pretty well when trump was president. scott went out of his way not to criticize donald trump, really ever. trump returned the favor, which is rare for him politically to do that. so, whether he is a future vp or perhaps somebody they look at for a cabinet position, that trump and scott orbits are certainly not done with each other. >> and trump is not done with presidential politics for sure because fred, your party is going more trump by the day. >> it is. >> with each trial. it's more popular. >> in 2016 where the top three got a third of the delegate votes, it's going to be winner take all. that's a number of states now. so he's advancing the big time

over all the rest of the field. and you know, unless something, there's some third rail happens, it's over. >> fred, garrett, it isn't over until friday at least on the government shutdown. we don't shutdown ever. making their case, the defense starts its case in the trump civil fraud trial with donald trump jr. back on the stand today. this is "andrea mitchell reports." you're watching msnbc. is is "anl reports. you're watching msnbc.

and we have breaking news. secret service agents who were guarding president biden's granddaughter last night opened fire on individuals who they said were trying to break into a government vehicle. the car was not occupied. the incident happened outside her home in georgetown. joining me now is aaron gillcrist. there's been a spike in carjackings and theft in d.c. do we know if that was related to that general problem or to something involving the first family, deliberately? >> there's no indication this was related to the first family in particular. you're right. there has been a tremendous uptick in the number of carjackings and car thefts here in the district in the last several months, but as we know about what happened last night, it was a little before midnight when some secret service agents encountered someone breaking a window of a vehicle that was

parked. secret service vehicle parked and unoccupied. as we understand it, there were potentially two to three people involved in this incident and during that encounter, one of those agents fired their service weapon. we don't believe anyone was hit at that time. then these people took off in a red car is the alert that the secret service gave to the d.c. police department. and the secret service made it a point to say there were no protectees who were threatened by what happened. we know this detail was a group assigned to the president's granddaughter, naomi biden neil. we don't know if she was nearby or aware this happened. this is something we're seeing more and more of across the district of columbia in the last several months. we know the texas congressman was carjacked this year in the navy yard area and so this is something that's gotten the attention of a lot of people and

it's something that the d.c. police department in particular is having to contend with as it relates to carjackings and car thefts. >> i believe a woman member of congress earlier was carjacked. thank you so much for being on that story. and donald trump is back on the stand as the first defense witness in new york today in the civil fraud trial involving the family business. as trump lawyers start making their case. in testimony two weeks ago, don jr. distanced himself from the financial statements at the heart of the case. that is of course posing a major threat to the trump organization. joining me now is nbc news correspondent, vaughn hillyard and paul charlton. vaughn, bring us up to date on what's happened today in terms of now this is direct testimony by the defense and he's being allowed to say a lot of things because presumably the judge wants to avoid the risk of appeal and give him as much

leeway as he can. >> right. this is the kickoff for the second half of the trial. now the defense for donald trump as well as his two sons, the ball is in their court. the first witness they brought to the stand today was don jr. again. so far over the last two and a half hours, what don jr. has been allowed to do is all but provide an oral history of the trump organization dating back to fred trump beginning the company nearly 100 years ago. of course, don jr., he joined the trump organization formally in early 2000s and what we have listened to is him go and explain the intricatesies of the properties the trumps have owned from hawaii to las vegas to chicago to scotland to here in new york. you'll real that the judge repeatedly interjected when donald trump senior as well as his sons started to go off course and veer off course. at the time telling them they

were not directly answering the prosecution's questions, but this morning, the judge stepped in and despite the prosecution looking to stop don jr. from going through each of the properties, said this is his opportunity to better describe the trump organization as a whole and build up that narrative. now, i think it's worth noting here that we are halfway through this trial. december 15th is when the defense will be able to rest their case and don jr. said he would like to see it was good to be back on the stand this morning, but he wouldn't want the new york attorney general come after him and charge him with perjury. there are several contentious weeks ahead of us, but at least they're able to present the case of the trump organization. >> and paul, what is the strategy from the trump organization? for one thing, they've been trying to delay things as long as they can and they're using a lot of time here, but this might

confuse a jury, but this is a judge trial. bench trial. the judge is very familiar with all of this. >> that's precisely right, andrea. and it really can't be that the trump lawyers are trying to convince this judge that he was wrong. as you know, the judge has already determined that fraud occurred here. so the audience to whom the trump lawyers are presenting this testimony is not the judge. they know how he's going to rule. they know how he has ruled. it's to try to make a record on appeal. not if i suspect, but when, they lose at this trial, they're going to be before a court of appeals and they're going to want to point to evidence that they will say and argue somehow shows that fraud did not occur. that's one audience they're undoubtedly building a record for. on the other hand, there's clearly that audience outside of the courtroom. there's a political audience. and they, outside of this courtroom and the trump family outside of this courtroom, want to be able to point to everything that the trump

children and trump himself are going to testify to. the risk here though is that the attorney general's lawyers are now going to be able to cross examine the trump children. they're going to be able to ask questions that require a yes or a no answer. and in the hands of a skilled litigator, they can sometimes put a witness in a situation where they're admitting that what they did was wrong. we'll just have to see how that unfolds as this trial goes forward. >> vaughn, paul, thanks, as always. and born in a war zone. dozens of newborn babies fighting for their lives inside gaza hospitals with no fuel for critical life support. that's next. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. watchinl reports" only on msnbc

the world health organization says that gaza's main hospital is no longer functioning. calling the situation dire and perilous. power outages and a lack of essential supplies are jeopardizing all of the hospital's 600 patients. the most vulnerable are some 36 newborns in a neo natal unit who have been taken off their incubators. doctors say three babies died over the weekend and the staff is fighting to keep the rest alive. here's how one doctor describes the situation. >> babies were evacuated to the

surgical department and all them are wrapped in towels, okay, not in incubators. each is in one other and we expect all to die because we don't have water to prepare milk for them. we don't have electricity to provide them with warmth. they don't have staff to care for them. even the staff is scared. >> israel says it is trying to evacuate patients, giving few details besides releasing a video of soldiers leaving about 80 gallons of fuel for generators. joining us is jason levy. thank you for being with us. these images of the babies are just heartbreaking. and these are the war's youngest victims. i know of similar situations going on at the pediatric hospital that had to close

thursday. what is needed now to help the children of gaza? >> what is needed more than ever is a cease fire. we've seen these horrific images, the numbers of children that are being killed at a rate of one child every ten minutes. being injured, one child every five minutes. the situation is getting worse and worse every day and it's more imperative now that we have -- and to international law, these are rights that civilians need to be protected. the consequences of the numbers of civilians we see that have no food, no water, no access to basic needs. it's heartbreaking. my team's on the ground telling me the situation is getting worse. and the world, we have to act. it is incomprehensible that it's been over a month and we're seeing more and more children, especially young babies who have

just been born and are fighting to stay alive, that are paying the price for this conflict. >> israel's prime minister was talking to kristen welker on "meet the press" and his point is that it is also a war crime to hide hamas command and control under a hospital. u.s. has no evidence of it or any evidence to confirm or deny that, but says that john kirby was on the program today. says that hamas has done this in the past, generically, hiding hamas terrorists under hospitals. under civilian buildings. what's your response to that? >> my response is it is critical that all parties of the conflict must abide by international law and when they do not, they're held to account. there must be independent investigations. and the protection of civilians. this is the most important thing and we can only achieve this with a cease fire.

that we protect civilians. and that all parties are held to account for failing to meet obligations to protect civilians. the cost that children are now paying this price and the numbers of children, one child every ten minutes is killed and one child every five minutes is injured. we will see this number increasing exponentially. without food, without water, without fuel to run the hospitals and desalination plants, children have only hours and days left. the situation cannot continue. we cannot stand idly by. children do not have time. we must act now. it is imperative that we have a cease fire. we have goods going in. people going in to save lives. >> how would you get, if you could get israel to a cease fire, which they have rejected, how do you get hamas to a cease fire? >> this is where i think it is a

plea for all of the leaders that are involved in the negotiations now to place whatever pressure that they have to keep, to reach a cease fire and to enforce it. it is critical that we have a cease fire. children don't have time. i mean, i remember speaking to you a couple of weeks ago and i mentioned that one child was being killed every 15 minutes. it's now ten minutes. without water, without food, the hospitals no longer functioning, that rate will increase. i do not want to speak to you next week and tell you it's now one child every five minutes or every two minutes. the cost that children are paying, and these are not just numbers. these are children. children that have hopes and dreams and the rights to what kids want to do globally. the right to live. the right to play. the right to be able to be with their friends and family. to be safe and protected. these are children with hopes and dreams that we must protect. if we do not, it is not just the

futures and hopes and dreams of children. it's crucial we have the political will and leadership that we bring it back to saving childrens' lives and securing a future for them. >> thank you very much. thanks for what you're doing. and the power players. president biden preparing for a high stakes summit with china's leader on the west coast. we'll have a preview of that m coming up next. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports." this is msnbc. watching "andreal reports. this is msnbc. moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch.

president xi will be meeting in the san francisco bay area for the first time in a year and the first time that since relations were ruptured after of course the chinese spy balloon controversy in february. nine months ago. jake sullivan saying on sunday that president biden would like to reestablish military ties. military to military communication with beijing, saying quote, it is a top agenda item. joining us now, peter baker, chief white house correspondent to the "new york times" and wall street white house reporter, sabrina. peter, first to you. president biden really wants that military to military communication restored. sort of bottom line. acknowledgments from the white house in a background briefing that that was one of the problems during the china balloon controversy when it was flying overseas and the u.s. could not get in touch with it. those communications were really stopped when nancy pelosi you know back in september had gone

to taiwan and the communications were shut off. >> right. so we had a spy balloon flying over the united states and lloyd austin, the defense secretary, tried to call his count part in china to try to figure out what was going on and they wouldn't take the call. you're right. this is meant to reestablish kind of a basic, bare minimum communications channel that had always be there for many, many years but proved to be unavailable basically at a time when most needed. this is not a huge victory as the history of summitry, but it's part of what the president wants out of this meeting, which is to get things back to a more predictable, stable basis. doesn't mean they're not going to have fights. they're not going to have great breakthroughs, but they want to get to the point where they're talking regularly and do business despite their difference. >> a series of cabinet ministers, secretaries, going,

starting with secretary blinken, then janet yellen. the commerce secretary. john kerry on climate issues. but an issue they really want to deal with is china's flow of fentanyl, which goes through mexico, gets combined. the illegal drug flow causing life threatening problems here in the u.s. >> absolutely. i think that fentanyl trafficking is one of the top priorities as well as seeking cooperation from china when it comes to climate change. i think the meeting isn't expected to mark a sudden shift when you look at the more adversary trajectory, but both sides say they want to mend a relationship that as we said, reached new lows during the chinese spy balloon incident and

frankly, both sides acknowledged they have to given their economic codependsy. you mentioned janet yellen. she warned that economic separation would have significant global ramifications and it's not a surprise she is also holding a banquet with u.s. executives after the summit to effectively say that china is open for foreign business. so i think there is an effort here to just reestablish a line of communication at the top level. it's important to also note that key u.s. allies from europe to australia also want to see the biden administration improve tensions between washington ande to australia want to see the biden administration improve tensions between washington and beijing. it goes to reenforce the importance of this summit and the stakes coming out of it. >> of course, that's something they've been trying to do since the balloon controversy.

peter, the economies are a big issue, our economy really recovering, 4.9% gdp in the last quarter. of course, china's is faltering. they're upset about sanctions ond chips and other key exports they have. >> i think that's one of the reasons why you see the chinese being more amenable to conversation, to have the visit that you just mentioned. some of those on the trip will tell you they were struck by how welcoming and opening the chinese officials were on those trips, that they really did want to lower the temperature in order to try to get economic stability again with a space with the other largest economy in the world. china depends on us the way we depend on them. there is a certain interdependency. i don't want to risk decoupling, the idea that the american economy would completely cut itself off from china. that's not been the biden

administration's goal. we'll see how they manage that in this summit in san francisco. >> peter baker and sabrina is a dick deke i can, thank you. protesters in paris against anti-semitism on sunday. a similar protest is planned for washington tomorrow. that's coming up on "andrea mitchell reports." we'll be right back on msnbc. nd mitchell reports." we'll be right back on msnbc transcend to a wireless utopia and experience america's smart network. with unparalleled coverage from three of the nation's top wireless networks. no trade-in needed to get iphone 15 pro with titanium on us. save up to 40% on your monthly bill and enjoy the latest iphone every year with unlimited wireless. when you have chronic kidney disease... ...there are places you'd like to be. like here. and here.

washington, d.c. is preparing for what is expected to be the largest pro israel rally in decades. tomorrow on the national mall, it will follow a massive protest in france this weekend against the rise of anti-semitism. nbc's molly hunter has the details. molly, i've been talking to people. so many american groups are convening here, will be protesting here at the hill and at the white house. >> reporter: andrea, the numbers there where you are sound like they'll be massive tomorrow. we have seen record setting crowds across europe, from france to london where i am. i'm start in france. according to french authorities, 180,000 people nationwide, 100,000 of those in paris, rallying against the rise of anti-semitism. according to french authorities, all peaceful. france has the biggest population in europe. french authorities registered more than 1,000 incidents of

anti-semitism since october 7th. later this week unesco and the french government have announce add new partnership to combat the increasing number of anti-semitism in schools. they'll make that the heart of the 42nd general conference. moving here to london on saturday, huge numbers for a peaceful, mostly pro-palestine police. organizers say the numbers were close to 800,000, the biggest martha we have seen here in the last month. 126 people were arrested. police are calling those very violent counterprotesters. i'm not sure if counterprotesters is fair. police describe these men as football hooligans waving british flags, followers of tommy robinson. police were standing between the protesters and these hooligans

is what they describe. the reason this is making such news two days later her the secretary has called for the march to be canceled on saturday. it went ahead. the london mayor let it go ahead. he's been using very hard line rhetoric. this more prime minister rishi sunak sacked braver man. prime minister -- former prime minister david cameron is now back in government. cameron is not a member of parliament. he resigned back in 2016 following brexit. here is the loophole i learned about today. essentially cameron can be given a place in the house of lords which makes him eligible to be a cabinet minister. rishi sunak has brought the former p.m. back as a secretary. >> quite a shuffle.
