r t international. we're covering the top stewart news stories from around the world. i'm rachel ruble. no sign of a terror attack, that's the f b. i's preliminary assessment of a car explosion on the rainbow bridge connecting to us to canada. their investigation is ongoing. we've been on hiring alert since october 7th. that's why it's so important for me to stand here and tell the world based on what we know at this moment. and again, anything can change. there is no sign of terrorist activity with respect to this crash. we've identified that this is a local individual western new yorker. we do not have any derogatory information on this person that we've identified. we don't have any, we're standing as social media. there's nothing there. we're still running a full investigation, so that's a preliminary assessment. but as of this time, there's no threat to our a o r. it's in our area in western new york. we have no information of anything of that nature. so we feel at this point that this might be just something that
8:03 pm
occurred. there's no larger picture here to look at for the the rainbow bridge which connects the us and canada has been shut down following the explosion on the us side of the checkpoint. that's according to the f b i terrorism task force and the local authorities. footage circulating online allegedly shows the exact moment of the explosion. 2 people in the car reportedly died. officials say the car was moving at a very high speed and crashed into a border patrol booth injuring an officer are changed. rachel blevins is joining me now. live rate will take us through what happens. well, federal authorities have been quick to say that they don't believe the vehicle explosion at the us. canada border was an attempted terrorist attack. 2 people were killed when their car crashed into a check point. the rainbow bridge and niagara falls just before noon on wednesday. but despite the violent explosion caused by the impact and reports of
8:04 pm
a suitcase being found, it loves some media to rush or call the crash. a terrorist app, initial claims of explosive devices being found at the scene, have since been retracted. while there has also been conflicting reports on the exact location of the crash, officials are now confirming it was on the us side of the border. new york governor kathy herschel commented on the video of the incident and noticed that the car was going. i'm extraordinarily high rate of speed before it went flying and it absolutely so real scene, canadian prime minister just intrude out also commented on the crash. and so the for border check points between the us and canada has been closed as a precaution. take a list obviously a very serious situation and i, agra, falls for a lot of questions and we are following up to try and get as many answers as rapidly as possible. we are in close contact with us officials and we'll continue to work closely with them. in addition to the 2 passengers who were killed in the
8:05 pm
accident, law enforcement official said that a customs and border protection employee suffered minor injuries and was treated and then released from a hospital while the investigation is still ongoing. official say they continued a week more towards the theory of a bizarre accident, as opposed to a deliberate attack. all right, rachel blevins, r t. correspondence of rachel. thank you. all right, let's cross live now to alessandra bruno a political analyst who joins us from toronto. alexander, great to have you on with us and what's your reaction to this incident on the rainbow bridge? thank you. well, as soon as i heard the incident, i went online to take a look at the footage and the within a few seconds. i real, i told myself that that this was no terrorist attack. i slowed the video and i could pretty much identify the cause of the type of car. it looks to me like
8:06 pm
a bentley co pay continental and it was going very fast. and my 1st thought was this no, not terrorism, but joy, right? gone wrong. it was somebody either sold the car or had access to a rare occasion just drive the sports car. i. i like driving myself. i understand the feeling and i've been at that board across the many times going in then from lag or from buffalo into nagra falls from the american side. so that also one of the, one of the signs that told me that this could not have been a deliberate act was the flying part of the car. the it, when it looked like a totally random, it seemed to the type of action was the, the, the driver, a bunch of taking an evasive maneuver and loss control. jumping to the
8:07 pm
on, on the raised part of the, the as well perhaps going on on the curb. and then which led to the, to the listing part. another thought was that it wasn't electric car given the was the size of the explosion, but it could mean it is. the impact was simply so hard. the car must have been traveling easily right on a 160 kilometers per hour. judging by me when i calculated the frames and the, the distance as it made an estimate. so i told her, you know, i mean, and given all that you've said, it does seem very clear and even the f b, i has said that this was not a terror attack. we got the us media was very quick to speculate, but this possibly could have been that terrorism related to even a b c news reporting about a suspicious suitcase at the scene. why all the things id from the us media? why are they so quick to immediately throw out terrorism? well,
8:08 pm
for the same reason that i started might be because today we had to cease fire agreement it with the mouse as well. and on both sides, there could have been people angry about this, sorry i, i mentioned the magic word here ceasefire. i'm not supposed to say that nobody's calling me to cease by the truth, but it's called the troops. the 4 day trip is announced, which i might have upset a few people. certainly it upset me as an analyst of them, at least i would have liked to see not just the seatbar but an end to this ridiculous complet. um, but um uh, i think that had people, i'm guessing and of course the images of the, of, uh, cars are particularly trucks driving across uh uh, near uh, check points. the most famous one, which is the 1982 bare room bombing where the against the under what i
8:09 pm
think was uh, it wasn't even has below yet uh, targeted the us barracks where the american soldiers was thing and killing. i think a 160 people the soldiers and so that the most famous of, of how is it in like that. and then we've, course we've had those up incidents in the nice. yeah. with the most famous one with the bus killing. busy over a 100 people and 2016, i think so. i think that's why you that you had jose jumping to conclusions. all they have to do is look at the footage. yeah. yeah. um, i mean, fair enough, given the tensions and globally these days, even though this was not a terrorism related as it seems, it is still thanksgiving in america on a thursday, as you know, the biggest travel periods of the year. how is this likely to affect americans? maybe not just in the region,
8:10 pm
but across the country. is this likely to have an impact on people who are traveling by car, train, or, or airplane? well, i think anyone who's seen the footage, i mean i immediately dropped any suspicions of tears that the car was simply going too fast. well, usually in a terror attack the, the driving is not that is pretty slow and deliberate. and usually there, there will be some kind of claim because otherwise was the point of making a terrorist action if you don't claim responsibility. and also there were 2 people in the car or not, but that was clear. but usually there's one person when you do this kind of action . so i think in fact tensions and i already dissipating because i read the just before coming on that so on the border crossings have been opened. no, i wouldn't be more afraid of being one of the drivers on the bridge being forced to
8:11 pm
uh to reverse course. um when they closed the border because it's a very difficult maneuver since your it's a one way. yeah, and getting out to you, i would, i can't imagine what i would have felt being stuck in there. and that would have been a terror situation. yeah, a big named started back kind of traffic. yeah, certainly i get, i've been stuck in traffic at the border myself before and that is a terrible situation. thank you so much. alexander bruno political analyst, you're welcome. but as is really troops press on with a tax on guys at the head of israel's national security council has said a for a truce with homos, that includes a prisoner swamp, has been delayed until friday. at this stage, there is no agreement on any of the issues that are part of the process. the
8:12 pm
release will begin according to the original agreement between the parties and not before friday. it's all right, let's go, sir. some of the main points of the hamas israel deal, both sides have plans to, to cease hostilities. israel says a large shipment of humanitarian supplies will be allowed into gaza. also, the idea will suspend all of its error strikes in the south of the unplayable giving the palestinians in the north, just 6 hours of respite per day, while israel pledged to refrain from detaining any people in gaza during the truth . and this perhaps what had been the biggest sticking point in the negotiations. the agreement also includes a long awaited but limited prisoner exchange. i'm also set free, 50 hostages out of the more than $200.00 is to hold inside. does that, isabel hand over 150 palestinian women and some children who are currently behind bars. meanwhile, israel's prime minister has made it clear that the fort a truce does not mean the end of the war. fresher footage,
8:13 pm
released by the idea of shows us troops in action on the ground and gaza is really military says i will use the for a pause to repair for new operations against the mos. however, some sources suggest israel has, in fact taken heavy losses on the ground and is desperate to replenish its forces. we heard from people and dogs and just say, despite the upcoming truths, they still don't feel safe. a. net to share the sham every day. we kept hearing that a truce is coming tomorrow at 6 o'clock or at 12 o'clock, but then it wouldn't come if this truth does actually happen. they can always just betray us. there's no safety and we do not expect anything good from them. i'm in a bit of the world. the truth has been talked about since yesterday, and today it has been confirmed for 4 days. were hoping for it be still after this truth with no more wars for life to improve for the better. so we can see family and relatives and return to our homes. that would be better than humiliation in which we live in now. a good less, right? i have no hope because every day i hey,
8:14 pm
and use about the trees from the moment we were displaced. well, ship a hospital every day it was said that the truth was coming soon for 5 days, and the news has been circulating for more than 20 days. and the goal is, as trip i choose, is about to be to the now is to by the part is concerned by israel and thomas that controls the gaza strip. this comes and it's, and is there a easy war against the guys as threats for the past 4 to 5 days. they both suggest that in the, in the next hours, in the next 14 to 24 hours, i choose will be announced by the part this consent. meanwhile, is really every strikes on the region have continued unabated all the night and early this morning, as is really restrict hit various parts of the region including that inside, right? so if you can, i'll go rage if he can,
8:15 pm
and damaged by left town and middle of the gaza strip a know say right, hello. and how was this was rated by and is ready to water plane leaving 9 people killed and dozens, others. and george also and the eastern parts of garza city, mainly. and those i to neighborhood as a invasion, attends, have been and justified was on the flash voltage between days, really invading forces. and the resistance man lives by the have mass party and all the in gaza. strip, also known as in gaza, thread around the under the agent hospital, which has gone out of service now completely because of the intensity was right ever strikes. some sort of a firewall has been reported around the indian agent hospital and northern gauze. i also and noticing your battery gee, can there wherever a number of strikes that hit several houses and the refugee can leaving dozens
8:16 pm
of people killed and dozens of others injured repose, suggest that a few 100 people have been reportedly killed and dozens, and, and injured. and in the gaza strip, over the past 24 hours rami meet i reach out to south ring, gaza strip city profile. people in ramallah also share your thoughts with us on the plan for de ceasefire. hi stuff card from the beginning. this deal was very important, the resistance, some pace, the conditions it declared to were really civilians and that it was the is really so what hen during this? because they were best thing on the shaving liberation without it. the goal, the and now so that the status of the operation was the liberation of prisoners along with all the issues related to jerusalem on the i lack some mosque as well as issues to do with land. we believe it might continue as the guitar. you say that it
8:17 pm
could be extended, the steadfastness of the resistance is resounding. it's indeed resilience. and his hero x on the ground have truly inflicted significant losses on israel. the resistance has defied the outs and refuse to bile to its demands, which has allowed it to continue. we hope that such a beautiful thing an end to the bloodshed and goes out to bring an end to the genocide in gaza. we hope that the kind of seeing what is the conclusion as especially women and children who are facing the torture and then take the inside. now since october 7th, it has been an escalation in the mouse. so that's the way. why is there is a front of simians without any charges, without any try and under the so called the most of the tension. so we hope that they would be able to, to united the families there very soon. and we hope that the, again, the dentist, i think, does it stops and we have unconditional humanitarian aid. teaching that people in desperate need thing doesn't. actually this deal came really late because of netanyahu stubbornness. in reality, this deal must happen,
8:18 pm
or the cease fire and call must be maintained, which has been demanded for a very long time. our people deserve life. our people have sacrificed a lot over many years. i feel sorry for this blood that is being shed from all sides, especially from our palestinian side. it is shed the blood of thousands dead and injured this blood should not be silent. the ceasefire of this deal is a prelude to a larger deal. i believe disagreement will continue and i believe they will follow through with further negotiations. see, there are lives that cannot be returned by peace talks. and that's all mind guys of children is now over 50. 500. and the humanitarian situation in the enclave is worsening by the hour eunice of stress. the urgent need to provide children with vital supplies. more than 5350. alice, jeanie and children have already been reportedly killed. of a dead tall i'm on children is sickening. gray is becoming better in job. so this
8:19 pm
thing is a star warning without sufficient fuel, without sufficient water conditions for children. obama, the children's access to water and sanitation, and as a continues to be restricted and sufficient. we will see a tragedy into highly avoidable search and the number of children died so so important to notice starting to ryan and java. now combine the children size serious read of mass disease outbreak. many have found shelter in the hospitals of southern gaza. i'm the head of pediatric surgery announcer hospital. in con eunice describes the conditions children face warning. the following images are disturbing . it was the last night we have received many patients in a critical condition from the north. this increased children to help legs amputated or on conscience when they reach us. most of these children con, tell us who they are. so we are unable to identify them somewhere admitted to intensive care, while others were admitted to all. these children are in
8:20 pm
a very serious condition. they are unconscious and have suffered too much to the heads and limbs. patients arrived here, unconscious, we're trying to give them the help we possibly can. the children need clothes, nappies, and milk people in the wood have shed what they can to provide essentials for these children. since they came to us in a serious condition, they, when they could, all their clothes were torn. so these contributions helped a bit. but these children are in a dire need of grades or assistance because the parents are not here. and we don't know who the children always have needs the conditions. harold, deplorable. there are so many victims, especially children, and they need help very badly. they have lost the parents, the loved ones, and the support. we can only give them minimal material age that is provided by college people and they really need this help. one year,
8:21 pm
emetics of also been victims of the violence. this cullison and red present frontage shows one position injured in a recent is released strike while his family has been evacuated to southern gaza paramedic mohammed, all my kid remained in the north. many guys and medical personnel have stayed providing care to thousands of those wounded in the conflict. and as the base and journalist has more on the situation, this is the extremely number of i the fees. and then i just increase the number of people working on going from button. that's it. all these things. now as i'm the one hour and seventies, there's an extension or different houses and have units area taking the life around the 20. but the thing is, i'm leaving money. and just so i like to meet the duration, including the people who are happy to leave the news about this temporary
8:22 pm
policy on the in got us, but they are all sold to become about beside. and they are thinking that they're going to lose the highest aspect. i'm really sorry. so say as much lives at home, the sides before the tools takes place or they wouldn't intensify the week. i'm here now. the bottom of the different areas of the cover for them to consume how i can hear the drones in the background when the sound goes hire. that is an indication that they might be thought everything in a place any time soon. so this is the type of nice people, those guys that have been living for the past for the 7 days. and they asked me for the night in the tools is they can differ in the morning or they are my colleagues spoke with from a where our former head of most sides m. i a unit who says israel will press on with it's offensive, but that the best figures from guys that are grossly over estimated. i'd like to
8:23 pm
start with a fake news that you've been reporting and i've been listening to this is a, it's incredible for soul fake news where your thoughts are. and secondly, i don't think that anyone has forgotten what caused this escalation of the truck. the fits say that the number of children killed that isn't boxed by the mouse, is fake the numbers. if your quotes you're using, a mostly face can on check what we have your we have here assess the is a graveyard for thousands of children and there's no doubt that the men or children have say, how you doing this? right? not true. well, what time they say well to you, based on your claims that this they can use on. ok, i can, i tell you what i'm basing on basic one is ready a report this friday are be as open at car a door for all guys. and even though all gods is, are homeless people all gardens, there is no such thing as known. come back to and then because the strip you made
8:24 pm
this plane before that there's no such thing as a non con buttons dodson in the strip. now you, we did see the on switch a cause quite to stop, exit is know now. and some people have pointed out that there haven't been elections in gaza for almost 20 years. the died wouldn't have even been old enough to vote in those election. so how would you rate in to the all the pot a stand in paula service. so posted a ball where a check with the west bank and the gaza population. the amount of people are the percentage of people that support the 7th of october and how about and you wouldn't believe it's 65 percent. so the guy says with pro, the 7th of october, this is oscar. they know the results of the 7th of october, now is ro is not waiting for a cease fire or for a troops. we are talking about a pause and the fight will continue. we are going to be there in the across the
8:25 pm
street from killed. we are rather cared, come us from civilization. and demonstrators took to the streets of tel aviv to waste their disapproval over the terms of the guys a true steel. the release of the 50 is really hostages, has been secured with only women and children and to be set free the by the of the relatives of those being held by him. aust amanda, the immediate release of all hostages and an end to the complex. they have also organized events that will take place in the coming days focused on making sure none of their loved ones are left behind. and everybody's very helpful. children from home, anybody there comes home obviously very complicated. there is a point of us being here
8:26 pm
to make sure that everybody comes i think that the fear of everybody is that this will give the how much time to reorganize and will pay the price with more soldiers that will be to submit to the most both the costs are going to be the same time and what, what's going to be the consequence that we're returning people have done terrible things. it's scary for everyone and being released and we're still thinking about the people who left behind breaking. i feel torn. i feel like there's no air after the mazda attack on israel last month, and having lost over
8:27 pm
a 1000 and the citizens, the feeling of danger has been prevalent across is really society. many israelites have applied for firearms licenses, with gun shops and seeing rocketing demand. robbie berman and is really journalist looks into the rising trend ever since the war started was from us on october 7th. guns sales in israel had been exploding every month before the war. their only $1000.00 request for gun permits after the war. 2 136000 requests for gun permits, a whopping 23500 percent increase in revisions, which earlier in the year far right. national security minister, it's him. i've been here widen the parameters of those people that can own guns and showing the waiting list to get the gun license from 3 months to 2 weeks. the idea behind making hand guns readily available in israel, is to allow with citizens to defend themselves against terrorist attacks. and to make israel a safer place, but isn't such
8:28 pm
a simple equation will flooding the market, it is old. hand guns make is a safer place or perhaps a more dangerous place to find out. i went to law, founded in 1949 is the oldest guns for gun range and the largest gun in porter for the state of israel. obviously we'd have more problems in the smaller percentages of safety accidents of, of the, of the using the gun to tomorrow. the someone in the family of guns good getting close to getting stolen using the used for a criminal activities. it's part of the part of the day and that was the say, but i think after, after what happened, you know, in the 7th of october we don't have any were you don't have any other choice, aren't you afraid that most israelis or combat and the idea they have training with weapons with a lot with rifles. we don't have a lot of training with hand guns. hand guns as opposed to rifle is,
8:29 pm
takes more trainings, local division, and most these are the don't have the, the background. we do have a bad friends with the rifle from the army, but very few of us it has that comes with the hands of i will definitely say how do i live in a fraud in boucher to own south of jerusalem halfway between uh jerusalem and hebron um, i am a psychologist, i have a small private practice. i sleep put the gun by my bed. if i need to use it, i will. my husband has a gun. he has a license. he shoots once a year, and he's also been sleeping with his gun under his pillow. literally under the under his pillow. can you imagine what would have happened on october 7th, if every single family, every single keyboards had a gun? what would have happened?
8:30 pm
they would have looked pretty different. we really have lost confidence as much as i love the army, and i think our soldiers are great and my sons are all soldiers. you know, there's a deep rift in terms of our feeling of safety and personal security. and one way of regaining that sense of personal security is by owning a gun. owning a gun might make us feel more secure, put all we really more secure. so it doesn't show that a society that has increased gun ownership has increased number of suicides by gun and increased number of family violence by guns and increased number of shooting accidents. if america is any indication of which direction israel is headed, israel might be in for an unwelcome surprise. owning guns might bring as well protection against terrorist, but it won't bring them protection against themselves. but this seems to be a price that israel is willing to pay.
