why didn't ministration have a strategy? in the meantime, palestinians and gaza are dying of record numbers. the 8 people are reportedly killed and dozens injured. and it is rarely strike on the oldest greek orthodox church in gaza, where people were seeking safety again in the name of self defense, israel is seeking to justify what would amount to ethnic cleansing are you an official warns israel could be committing genocide under the fog of war as a humanitarian crisis escalates in gaza with around 1000000 people already just sliced 16 of the families of those kidnapped to gaza, started as a soldier if he could send 3 fasts to big protests. people come here, 247, up to 200 people are being held hostage by hamas in does that,

including children and foreign citizens as the idea for pears for a ground operation. you know, we want to find the bodies but, but back to depth and fall into the hands of how much and the us president vows to build a better stable future for the middle east, submit the raging violence, assuring, sending billions to both israel and ukraine is a smart investment the, i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. this is our t international. all right, we start with the latest from the conflict in gaza, where the palestinian foreign ministry has confirmed has been an error strike on a greek orthodox church where civilians that were sheltering. 8 people have reportedly been killed and dozens more were injured as well. has not yet commented on the incidence or the greek orthodox patriarch, it through a slum said targeting of the church constitutes

a war crime. it was the oldest of christian church and gaza. and one of the oldest christian churches in the world, both muslims and christians, displaced by intensive, is rarely showing, were seeking a shelter in the building. more casualties are feared as many are still trapped under the rubble local reporter holmes the shuttle and gave us more details. and one of our team, he was working with us at the company. he suddenly come to us. tell us this talk to church. i started a church directly, we take a car and we went there to after we reach that location, everybody was confused that we have, he was in no or was it able to get inside the church? the church is actually included in many buildings. so the building is who this is or it can complete the whole completely destroyed is the management

building, which is there's a lot of activities if there's a lot for sure people inside this church was huge. a massive explosion. there was very deep hole in the ground. so we try to the compass crew and the firefighters trying to get the injuries under the people who come to pieces under the rubber. and we witnessed that people already died and step on the top of the cancer heart because it's was, it was heart breaking to see this community, this kind of community suffering, expecting happening to them because they use this church as a shelter. so this is

a human nation to do the whole palace for the cushion or were or muslims are jewish or whatever the are the people who was inside the church around the church. i'm only here, 2 of them are for sure. so in the christian community, people there was struck the, it was a lot of them was crying because many of them did last. the family members, one of the guards, i found, he lost his mom. he was really crying and he was starting. the community was confused and they don't know where to go for sure. muslims are generally saying to help each other in these kind of situations. everyone goes to receiving one area was injured, was angry grain. i'm from that mostly from the emotions community from the christian community that is there any use for that area

and purpose. they need to talk that area. they're trying to deliver a message to the official communities. how you should lead to this are, and people there being here to from the west side prefab aside kind of, we not doing to leave our lines. these are products to use the site. just the same place as an acute humanitarian crisis is developing in gaza with water and electricity supplies cause the one that special rubber tour on the occupied palestinian territories warns the israel could be committing genocide under the pretext of self defense. the situation in the occupied palestinian territory and israel has reached fever pitch. israel has already carried out mass ethnic cleansing of palestinians under the fog of war. again, in the name of self defense, israel is seeking to justify what would amount to ethnic cleansing as the israel defense forces continues to long strikes on does more and more buildings are being

reduced to rubble. recent drone footage shows the wide spread of devastation after a barrage of error strikes on the berries refuge account resulting in dozens of casualties. in a meanwhile, dozens of trucks carrying humanitarian aid have been spotted out the roof of border crossing. ready to enter gaza with the area earlier coming under attack attention has continued to sore. an idea of the official has released the statement saying israel is ready to take the fight to palestinian lands. now our menu, those are going to take the will into the territory. we're going to feed them in their own territory is going to be difficult, is going to be long. it's going to be intense. the best ideas commanders here, the best idea of soldiers. i hear you are our best leaders and forces me

law. hundreds of people attended. the funeral oven is riley. family of 5 were killed by hum us. this footage shows the whole family being buried side by side victims bodies were quarterly found in their home line. next to each other and holding hands during the 13 days of conflict, $1400.00 people were killed by hamas attacks across israel. and nearly 2 weeks after the hamas attacks on israel, people are beginning to return to their villages. one of the palestinian militant groups targets was the village of near oz, and the southern isabel amongst fighters, burned homes tilling and had nothing loafers heard from those affected by the attacks. i came back here now because 1st of all, i'm going to bury a very good friend of mine in a few minutes. the so i owe them that. i came here to see if there's some things we can do around to help before

we start and to clean up the area and prepare for people to come back. it will take time. my all, you know is a demona sheet, obviously stores stuff. they smashed up the people's it and so he had those come off to no avail. exactly like isaac in the dash they came to mail. it came to the lights, but dozens of people took to the streets of tel aviv to demand the rescue of the relatives who are still being held hostage by hum us. the demonstrators held up pictures of their loved ones asking when they will be returned to their homeland. the idea of reports of mazda is holding at least $200.00 people in gaza since the start of the ongoing escalation, october 7th. our t correspondent, maria, from ocean and brings us more on the story. at least 200 people are being held hostage by her mouse in gaza. and the question many,

no ask is when is it going to be returned home? and if yes, alive or dead, thought hard to have calls herself, i have lost my share to attacks a viper in 2010. she was assaulted by 2 arabs, one of whom was proven to be linked to the milton's group. a friend of hers was murdered in front of her eyes and i felt on my side, you know, tied up and he's leaning on my side and he's pounding me with this much shelby and i can him, my bones broke. and every time he tugs, he has to tug the knife out because it get stuck in bone and then it's again and again and nice has gotten through flesh on to me to so why, while he's still stopping me, i watched the other hack up, christine lucon, in front of my eyes and play dead and survived, she believes it's better to be killed then taken hostage by him as her father said to me something i'll never forget. he just as i pray my daughter is dead rather

than be held in gaza and that is the most i the shots are in sing for a parent to say that you hope your child is dead and powerless of these hostages. the on assess and see available the knowing what that children are going through. you know, we want to find the bodies but, but best to death, them fall into the hands of how much the minute experts see things differently. professor as a capture is one of the authors of the idea of assets code and was part of these really permission to set standards for negotiations with the enemy. in case of objection, the command was established at the time of one of the loudest cases of an idea of soldier. glad shelley being held hostage in guys for more than 5 years. he was eventually released, exchanged for 1027 palestinian prisoners to date. also is rather optimistic about the outcome. they, we keep them alive very carefully because that because the good,

because this is of their interest for the living was that going to get much more then for him? but is there nothing saying they are just the more of a statement is by him. us echo as assessment, and that's no one at the left. so we deal with the prison this in accordance with addiction. so while religion and we cancelled them in accordance with what is required memorial and human duty, that each what we eat and drink what we drink, and today they leave and the same conditions as the general population of present us to have. these real openly says it doesn't, it's negotiate with the terrorist. this is how israel has always seemed to have mass built into group ruling. gaza also says it is a political statement, but talks our how that's the diplomatic again. but the practical game is different . the 3rd parties, which is germany or a jump talk, a star, are going to talk both through the from us and is read and solve the problem. it

also has no doubts that hostages will be returned home life. if only there is and off will from both sides, is welcome. mazda is certainly interested. these really political leadership seems to be divided to extreme nationalistic, i draw the religious parties that waiting for sacrifice citizens. if he's ready for their dreams, whether the government can do it is a good question because those parties, government, the government, i mean there is no government without them. so they could accept pressures on the government. i mean, definitely full time minister antonia hold a hostage. situation mites, revive personal memories. in 1976, his older brother was killed while rescuing captives add on to the airport and it down to the events. the prime minister repeatedly said shaved his future life. but there are other forces in the country and member always rows inferential far,

right. the blog of the ruling call lation, finance minister smotts rich has been quoted by various is rarely media as making a controversial statement. do you are in a cabinet meeting? we have to be cool now, not to think too much about the hostages and guys, it's time for x, but this time it's not only up to israel to decide. they're all foreign nationals, them on the hostages, from around stuff to countries which seem to have clearly set the priorities. we're doing everything we can to secure the release of the hostages working closely with our as really partners with maintenance, easement expenses. i'm. we're also working intensively with israel regarding the epic tease the missing persons and trying to determine exactly how many people are involved and what we can do to help them and get back to freedom because they have now been abducted misunderstanding the at this point has been confirmed the one russian citizen who is also in is rarely passport holder, is among from us as hostages. there might be more, but we don't know about them. we get this information from is real. the families of

4 and hostages held in gaza, call on their governments to do their best to secure the release of their loved ones. that the biggest pressure is at home. and he's around people are angry that the government failed to prevent the tragedy from happening. and offers trade, so that's how it is currently regarding the plight that the hostages visits in the families of those kidnaps to gaza. started as a sole 3 p kids hungry fast to big protests. people come here 247. and while these really leadership makes promises to come, the public, the negotiator is trying to find a way forward 10 beyond forces gets ready for a ground operation. these people have no other thing to do, but to come here to show how badly they one stayed. the loved ones, back home, safe and sound. reason, ocean to on. so you from telling me the let's cross now live to pediatrician, aim ari's arias. a volunteer who worked in

a field hospital helping people who were wounded at a during the hum us attacks. dr. great to have you on with us. uh, as i mentioned or you worked in a hospital treating the wounded during those attacks. can you talk to us about what you saw that day? i i'm sure it's not easy to talk about and i'm a pediatrician. definitely not trained for field combat and things like that. and i'll just sort of unfold it so quickly. stuff such a nightmare with right now. so basically, um, where i live is called chicago. it's a small farming village just a little bit further inland from the border just behind the hollows. very. so we heard all these awful sounds all morning gunshots. um, no, rog and fire. and then in the afternoon, around 1 o'clock, i was called to the front of the, of the gates of the village, where the military head start bringing back. um, um, wounded. now the majority were uh, were sold with, with a lot of civilians as well. and i'm talking about, um, you know,

unloading bus loads of, of try and trying children, teenagers, mother, i had a i the mother of because i don't know 30 something year old mother with a balloons in a chest and gasping for air, asking her children where we were doing air lifts and helicopters, but it was in the private vehicles, we didn't have enough resources. there is, there was nothing there. so we would just gather people together who had some stable injuries, some bullet ones to the lens of them in a private vehicle. they drive the hospital and then you have another wave and it was just wave after wave after wave of awful injuries. so with really, uh, not too much resources the beginning until in the evening. we had more help um, but it was just um, very traumatic to be there as a medical provider and something that were all just really from me. yeah, i, i can't even imagine what that was like can do. now how many people, uh, how many wounded people were treated at the hospital and what were some of the challenges that you faced in treating people following the attacks given that see,

i mean, you probably didn't even know at the time that if there would be other attacks, right, so i mean for the 1st test on this, the, this, the, the mass on slot, when you have enough time to look at one patient, you can evaluate properly and look what's going on. but there were thing, let's say for example number one um, one concave kid came through. he was like the end is early twenty's. and everyone's thought that he just had a panic attack. you know, so the difficult, uh, initial evaluation or medic and whoever else was there, i think even another doctor took a look of panic attack. fine. and they put up, put them on the side, try to have someone speak with them coming down. and then only uh, you know, couple minutes later when you actually stopped the reading, realize that he also had some shrapnel or something in his, in his lungs. have what's called learning was sore ex, with along with collapse on itself. and he needed for the information you know, to at least as an intimate and you know and get off to the hospital. so one of the biggest challenges just trying to allocate resources and trying to really know and evaluate properly when things come in. another challenge was um, you know,

a lot of the people were stuck um you know, under fire hiding and shelters hiding in the bushes. god knows what. so they, you know, this was one lady came in. she was um, i think for the weeks pregnant, so with the hydrate in the know about her babies and she was later on she did deliver and she is advise, thank god but they're just like so much to take in and um, very little resources to, to to take a look at, i myself didn't make it in the house, but i stayed in the field, but i colleagues, one of the hospitals that it was the same thing. there was a such um, such man and such carnage that it was really hard to, to mobilize resources and allocate efficiently. what was going on. what about in terms of psychologically does that have an impact on you, or were you able to separate yourself as a physician and, and just focus on helping as many people as possible show when you're in the moment . uh, you know, we, we function as best we could, but i definitely am paying the price now, you know, to be honest. um, you know, i,

the contents went well into the night, but when there was more resources there, i backed out like i myself left around 8 or $9.00 and 9 pm and it's going to take it anymore when there are other people to take over. and this week because you know, i just haven't, i haven't been functional, i haven't returned back to work yet. i'm actually also just speaking to a matter of mental health professionals to help me get through some stuff and my colleagues as well, you know, it's rolling this together and it's just a atrocious name and keep them here more more stories. and it's still in 1st hand story that heard on your product. and so you mentioned earlier, a hose that came with was ravished a little further south from us. but i, i like one of my very good friends is from there. so i, i know all of these stories very intimately, it's my own back yard. it's not a detached me. well what, what concerns do you have uh for safety as, as complex continues there was just a couple of days ago in the hospital was hit by a strike. i do have concerns for yourself or, or other health care workers who continue to work. um, you know,

as this complex it contin and so, so another colleague of mine it was a, you know, some sort specialist in, um, i think far as, uh he was killed there. he, while treating patients. obviously the, they know the hospital in oz itself. i mean, talking about safety that even though if i can go back to my house, you know, like, i don't know what his confidence over if it will be safe to, to live there. you know, so this, this, speaking of this, the human being with the family and children. i don't know. we're going to be right now. we're being hosted in an, in the north of the dead sea, but very gracious keyboards which took in like most of my community. but for how long and where else we're going to go. i don't know. and then the medical facilities is stretched very soon on both sides and it's just a humanitarian disaster. personally, i think that the world would be safer when i'm on the terrace. we're not in charge . you know, i think the people of, of the, of the strip are good people. but when you have a terrorist and mazda series that encourage you know, raping and kind of babies heads and doing awful, awful things. how do you,

how do you negotiate with that? how do you live next to neighbors like that? so i think ultimately if the idea of successful replacing the regime and changing the culture of the, of the area that will be safe for both for them and, and for us, you know, that's the only way to have this and you have uh someone, no one to talk to them. all right, we're gonna leave it there. him. arias volunteer who worked in the field hospital helping people who had been wounded during the mazda attacks. thank you for your time. if the israel palestine war was the topic of joe biden's latest address to the nation, that you as president vowed to create a better and more stable future for the middle east, or calling for some 100000000000 dollars more in a to, to israel and ukraine. and what he called a smart investment for america's future, a united states on our partners across the region are working to build a better future for them at least one where the middle east is more stable, better connected to his neighbors, more predictable markets, more employment,

less re to much grievances, less war once connected. there was much anticipation of biden's remarks in light of world advance. and when he spoke to the american public from the oval office, as you just heard, he said that uh, the united states is working to bring stability to the middle east. well, uh, tell that to all the embassies there of the united states across the region that are being burned in protest, all the american flags living with on fire i. we have leaders throughout the region threatening war if the united states escalates it. ringback for it, for his rail line, it's atrocities and it doesn't look like stability that the binding ministrations, policies in particular in the united states is creating throughout the region. now you'll recall that uh that you know, the leader of jordan, the leader of egypt and the leader of the palestinian authority, pulled out of their plan for waste. i met with bite in 24 hours before it was

supposed to take place. and at this point, uh, we have biden these remarks claiming that somehow filing more and. busy us weaponry and money, not just into israel, but into ukraine as well as somehow in the long term interest of the united states . however, we heard from the russian foreign ministry that if you really look at the situation, most americans are not going to benefit from the by the administration's piling more money into these 4 and conflicts. here's what was said by buying. and what was that also by the russian born ministry spokesperson? i'm going to send to congress an urgent budget request to fund another dispatch. so security needs to support are critical partners, including israel and ukraine. this is a smart investment, is going to pay dividends for americans, security for generations. they used to call at the struggle for freedom and democracy. now it turns out is just a calculation. it is always been like that. it's just that the world was deceived.

hiding behind values that do not exist to washington goals have traditional. they're represented a reasonable investment for the united states, since they didn't take place in the american territory. and they did not care about the other people's costs. it appears that the united states is now planning to set aside and provide tens of thousands of a $155.00 millimeter artillery shells that were originally intended for your brain and send them to israel. however, it's to know that this is to replace a similar stock file artillery shells that was originally sent to israel and then diverted to ukraine. and it's worth noting that by these call now for a $100000000000.00, more of additional funds has gotten white's a, a way of the opposition on social media. here's what americans had to say in response to. ready biden's call for a lot more money. the united states government discovered less such

a 3 treated in debts more than any other country on us. however, we fund and ukraine and israel with endless borrowed money when we can't even afford a good health care system, sending ukraine more money in giving ease, real billions, but kind of help the poor and working class in one of the drawers economists ever don't care about israel ukraine, russia post on iran, or any other place. we have real problems here, and we don't have the power or the resources to police the world. a bite inside to convince you say public of the need for $100000000000.00 and funding for israel, ukraine, and other countries by that appeal to america's national pride. p. d. that's he didn't commit funding to piece humanitarian aid. and really for the millions of people in the us, in poverty. wow. the american working families are being squeezed with even further inflation. we have the president coming on national television to tell them that

a $100000000000.00 more their tax money needs to be pumped into to ongoing for and conflicts. it's not surprising that the polls indicate that the american public isn't exactly thrilled with abiding administration. is really lawmakers haven't reported a agreed to ban of middle eastern news outlet, elda 0 choosing as of helping the enemy. all right, let's discuss this now live with our correspondence a both the joins me here in the studio show you what more do you know about them? well, it's important for us to talk about it. i'll just here as who are they and they were established in 1996 to an arabic language primarily from nationally 6 and arabic language channel. they've expanded to have huge ad digital. the footprint, if you like, over a 1000000000 views on some of their platforms, as they broadcast into over 250000000 homes in a 100 countries, there's a big channel. the arabic language shall, i suppose. this also comes to the context of the elders here openly querying these

really narrative on various attacks which have happened during the israel's quite brutal assault on gaza. now it seems that the government, including to these are these really intelligent services, the minister of communications, et cetera. have all the side of that address here is a welcoming as well that it's actually actually spreading propaganda if you like. and they've also actually alleged that i'll just here is actively potentially passing information to at the end of ease of use where it was quite remarkable statement. and we can actually have a listen though, to shlomo colorado. the minister of communication is exactly what he said, like he's riley is it was on land in the sea and in the mind, we will not in any way allow broad costs at home. the security of the state, the regulations that the government is now improving. will allow us to close channels, confiscates equipment, and revoke the joint list, credentials of those who home the security of the state during the war. and so as you can see, the language is interesting that as well as a war online that's see. but it's also this bottle from mine to the over the saying

that this is a war for the narrative, a war for the feelings of people, particularly the west end obviously are, has a large following. now in the united states, i know you are. uh so uh they call them a, a part of his alliance of a cru enemy as well, that sort of language just me use ways, but it's just quite remark was just wanting to say that the channel has not yet been banned. but the legislation with which to bonded and respect it's broadcast as well is under preparation right now. also interesting in may 20, 22 august your journalist showing well actually it was also killed in a what seems to be and what was the ledge to have been a targeted killing by is really forces. and there was never any real uh, resolution to that. i'm, it's also interesting that the international federation of journalist of also come out to say that this is essentially a object control of the narrative. that is really state is basically using uh,

this uh, situation to restrict freedom of speech, freedom of information. and that is sort of brings us back to a course to our own situation here in russia, where anybody's who stands against the narrative seems to be immediately at restricted, closed down and shut down. and that's very, very interesting. rachel. yeah, this is really concerning when censorship always just seems to be the solution to, you know, the voices that you don't want to hear. all right. say, but was thank you. all right, and that's gonna do for me for now, but do stay with us. my colleagues relo isabel is in the next by the the the

hello and welcome to cross side where all things are considered. i am peter lavelle what those jo biden's bizarre visit to israel tell us the green light, a land invasion of gaza was a deal made to allowed a deliveries from egypt essentially does the bye, didn't ministration have a strategy in the meantime, palestinians and guys are, are dying at record numbers, the processing policy, and i'm joined by my guess to me 3 less. got us and they wrote, he's a lawyer. and if a freelance journalist also in b route, we have our osman. she is a assistant professor at the lebanese international university and political commentator and in raleigh. we cross the ray mcgovern. he is a former c. i a analyst. all right, cross talk roles and effect. that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated right, if i go to you 1st in raleigh and, and looking at politicians in israel and then this whole train upon the western

politicians making their.
