of the us has once again exposed itself in front of the world by blocking even the councils extremely weakened called for a cessation of hostilities and gather un security council adults to resolution to facilitate the humanitarian aid supplies to gaza. that's up to the us. lots of proposal for an immediate defiant the death tony garza so fast as a $20000.00 is ready for cuz they they punch funds the ground defensive with the push into a central garza. and they know they use this. how a form ahead of not give you the central bank is accused of a legal or transferring millions of dollars into offshore accounts, including the u. s. u. k, a china the
4:01 pm
the call to just take so, but it's a soft today. it must go. my name's peter scott, and here's how the world is looking as the we can get. so the way that we start with a bit of breaking news this our, the un security council has passed a resolution requiring both israel and hum us. so a lot deliveries of humanitarian aid into the gaza strip of proposed amendment for an immediate cease fire. it was blocked by the united states and rushes on buses. it's the you and the said that's under us pressure. the final text of the resolution, most important provisions, a singular study which is new to some of the cheapest in the us has once again exposed itself in front of the world. by blocking even the councils extremely, we can call for a cessation of hostilities in gaz. instead, washington playing dirty, sold a text, actually a license for israel to killed palestinian civilians in gaza under the pretext of,
4:02 pm
quote, creating conditions for a cessation of hostilities under pressure from the us. which effectively took over the authorship and you served the work on the text behind the scenes at various levels, twisting the hands of regional representatives, the text lost more and more important provisions with each new revision. colleagues, this is a tragic moment for the security council, not a moment of triumph for multilateral diplomacy, but huge on principle blackmail. it is an open defiance on the part of washington of the suffering of the palestinians, and of the aspirations of the world community to put an end to it. the security council is essentially being asked to stay out of the way while the us twists its arms in the region, not for the sake of peace as my american colleague claims, but to ensure washington's narrow self interest. the 15 member body that leads the united nations finally approved a resolution regarding the situation in gaza. now for weeks,
4:03 pm
the un security council has been delayed. but finally there was a resolution that the united states did not detail 13 countries voted in favor of it. the united states and russia both abstain, and afterwards the us representatives spoke highly as if this was a great step forward for the protection of humanitarian concerns and the ongoing fight and gaza. here's what the us representative had to say. since the start of this conflict, the united states has done work tirelessly to alleviate this humanitarian crisis. to get life saving assistance into gaza and to get hostages out of gaza to push for the protection of innocent civilians and humanitarian workers and to work towards a lasting peace. but today this council provided a glimmer of hope amongst a sea of unimaginable suffering. today this council called for urgent steps
4:04 pm
to immediately allows safe and hindered and expanded humana tarion access and to create the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities. i'll note that this is the 1st time this counsel has used this language. language we believe is critical to scaling up aid and underscoring the tough steps ahead as we work together to achieve a lasting piece. but the reality is that the situation on the ground in gaza is dire. 20000 civilians have already died and the body count is rising. death toll continues to increase. however, the resolution that was passed did not call for a ceasefire and did not restrict israel's activities. site was simply allowing some humanitarian aid to go through. china spoke before the council and expressed some
4:05 pm
disappointment with the resolution. they ultimately voted in favor of we welcome the adoption of this draft resolution. there were quite a number of adjustments to the text in some important aspects, those adjustments and not consistent with the efforts. we have made, they do not meet our expectations, given the urgency of the situation on the ground, the humanitarian catastrophe and goals are that is getting more diet by the day, the counsels carnes action office, at least the glimmer of hope for increased in the expedited deliveries of humanitarian aid to garza. now the palestinian representative who spoke before the council describes the dire situation. the lack of access to medical care, the lack of access to electricity. the fact that journalists and humanitarian workers have been killed and have been in harm's way, the palestinian representative described how the whole world is outraged by what israel was doing, and the blatant atrocities being committed. biased rarely forces this concept 1st
4:06 pm
met to address this great prices when hundreds of palestinians had been killed by his, the occupying power. and it's cj and the aggression on the guys us through the concert is now meeting of the over $20000.00 palestinians have been killed almost half of them children. no one should forget that what we are talking about a 2300000 palestinians who have been fighting for their life and facing death every single day for 75 days. this requires an immediate fuel many 30 on seas via now back by 153 states around the world. there is no way to stop the war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide under way,
4:07 pm
but an immediate cease by it. now israel spoke before the council and described its activities as necessary in order to stop terrorism and described how the condemnation coming from international bodies and from various different voices around the world. the simply the singling out of the israel, the targeting and demon is ation of israel. is this council 6 to english to that is it should start by supporting israel's mission of returning hostages and eliminating the almost threat at the very least must prevent from us is empowerment . just as this council is committed to increasing aid, it should also be committed to blocking the smuggling of arms and transport weapons to the almost terrorists. and just as this council is committed to ensuring aid reaches goals and civilians, it should also be committed to ensuring the cit. aid is not the ability to come up stairs. we do not care about the civilian population. the focus of any resolution should also hold from us accountable while taking every step to prevent them from
4:08 pm
intrinsic themselves and regaining power. united states continues to protect israel and this resolution. ready is very much the result of many efforts by the united states to make sure that no resolution was passed by the council. that condemned is rarely activities or demanded a halt or a ceasefire. now the united states does not only want to be the protector of israel and the international arena, but he wants to be a backer of israel. we have a situation where the by the administration is calling for 14000000000 additional funds. $14000000000.00 additional dollars to be sent to israel in order to enable them to continue their operations in gosh, which are being condemned widely by the world. so the united states seems to be pretty solidly behind israel, despite international outrage about as rarely activities. there's talk and further escalating us support for israel, a mid international condemnation. let's flush their ssl, i'm now joined by political analyst screen lights. and phil make a showing stone showing thanks very much for joining those view and school counsel
4:09 pm
as finally money is to pass a resolution on gaza, a positive step as a positive step. of course, i mean whenever you have some minutes area aid being delivered to a civilian population that, that is direly in need as a, i think you guys reported that the, the numbers of starvation is potentially up to half the population. that is, that could be starving. i mean, this is the desperate for the 1st most you know, most of the most of the most of gaza, which are children, as we know about health population, our children and most of our civilians. so yes, we are happy that this is happening, but as talked about previously, of course there's, there's problems that if the us that does not support the ceasefire, getting that a to the civilians, when bombs are following when there's a war going on, that's the, that's the challenge, what do you think is taking so long? and why did the us veto the tex concerning the c 5 and the resolution?
4:10 pm
well because i mean the same reason that the, the was blocked this call for a cease fire about a week ago or so. i mean, there, you know, us as clearly on, on the, on the side of israel and the conflict of israel's point is that if they have a ceasefire that they will allow for mazda to regroup the commission. um to basically, um is facilitate their, you know, a mazda is agenda which, which is, you know, to continue to fight against as well. so, from that perspective, as real, as on the offensive here, they are basically in the invasion mode. they're in the, they're technically, they're in the offensive mode of, of, of striking into, you know, into gaza. so they don't want to stop, right? they want to keep the momentum going. and us of course, you know, saying that they are in agreement with, with israel on this, on this issue of not letting of leading the ceasefire will support them. us, well, security council resolutions. so now legally binding, what a show is though, is that israel will comply with it as well. that's what's curious with this
4:11 pm
particular resolution. i know that the us pushed for and got the, the point that is real, gets to sort of oversee the disbursement of the imaginary and relief. so as you say, like what, what is, what is the assurance to me is we know in the past israel has not agreed with her or divided by un resolutions in this case. uh, essentially if they oversee the relief, you're basically putting israel into a governing position in gaza and we can't lose sight of that. it's been brought up way too many times in the past that is real potentially wants to maintain its occupational ga. so this is a good step forward in that direction of now they're overseeing the governing side of treating the submit the civilian population know the human rights. what they have accused israel, of using starvation as a weapon of all by blocking food, water and fuel deliveries. do you think it will change or do you think that it's good enough? do you want it certain a that to make a tangible difference?
4:12 pm
so the people on the ground. so that's something that it's really difficult to analyze outside of the situation. i mean, even us sitting here watching this, we have no idea the reality for the people on the ground there, right? we don't, we don't know. and this, the truth is we've seen journalists have been killed. i mean, it's very, very difficult to, you know, even get accurate reporting right from the, from the words on. so, how can we know what, you know, what the needs are the people at this moment. all we can say is we wish that the 8 will reach them. but realistically, of course it's in there in a fight for survival. you know, those that are, that are still in gaza, right? you know, remaining, i'm not sure where they can go if they can, you know, if they can travel, if they can leave, it's like this hypothetical from the beginning was that they should flee. well, that's wonderful. but seeing your home playing, you know, fling to where, you know, only is when limited roads, there's only limited amount of, of, of space that's available to actually, you know, to the part to, to take your things belongings and to go to what
4:13 pm
a refugee camp and never come back, that's, that's what's happened to do a testing is in the past. so it's a very is a very scary situation and it's difficult for us to, to see it outside of being on the ground. it certainly certainly is shown um no, it does appear gradually, the us is becoming increasingly isolated in its own wavering supports of israel. what do you think it will take for it to change its position and just say enough's enough? i don't know that they will. they would ever be a moment where us would say enough is enough. there's that, as we know, there's a huge amount of, of financial interest. there's a political interest of a pack. there's the, the, the atl and it's, you know, it's allegations when, when anti defamation league charges people with, you know, being anti semitic for example. i mean, they've used that, that word against people who just, you know, who were, who were themselves jewish criticizing other jewish people. they were labeled that as a medic. so it's, it's
4:14 pm
a very difficult thing that you're up against here. if you know if america, what you really break with is what i think the best that that could be hoped would that be that the us basically just challenges as around the sense of okay, listen, we are financial support is contingent upon certain things, right? if the us really wants to keep gaza independent, then you know, the us obviously has, i think the, the, the financial and the, the, the political influence to do that. if, if you know, if it comes down to that in the next year, we'll see what happens here. and find this on the, any of the measures that the u. n. u think can take to help us still peace in gaza always. or is it secure? it's cal, so just to paralyzed and this is the, the maximum expense which any resolution could possibly go. i don't see what, what role the one can play in the sense, i mean, which curious because the un is what created israel in the 1st place, right? but since then, as we've seen, there are been numerous un resolutions to try to keep. but for example, israel's. ready orders in a certain place or to restore certain borders and,
4:15 pm
and keep the is really settlers out of palestinian land. obviously these have been all violated and that's obviously violated for decades. so i don't see how you doing can really play a strong role in this particular matter, except for, again, it's, it's, it just makes any sense in the eyes of the public opinion. that's where the, where long term repercussions can be affected. if we, if, if the israel continues to, to perpetuate a war, that is the violent and brutal to escalate population, they will ultimately lose support within the world that surrounds them. and i think this is a bigger problem that is real, could face long term. well, political, unless it's female, i to nfl make a show and still and thanks very much for your thoughts on that resolution that's been passed by the ones that go to council. thank you. well, stay with the conflicts, palestinian all thoughts? he said to the death soul in gauze as now suppose to 20000 people. and there's no
4:16 pm
4:17 pm
little posted. you read chris and says he's last communication with an ambulance dispatch center in joliet. i'll say northern garza, and it was off to an idea of raid. the monetary group says that is very soldiers have detained a part of my digs. i'm taking them to an unknown location. but this video shows palestinians fleeing from an area in w following. another is very upside this week, and it's very striking reports, and they killed at least 10 palestinians, an injured numerous others of that refugee camp in w d. f is also been accused of targeting elderly palestinians in the gaza strip, a geneva based and joe, which it has to be said also has offices in the gaza strip and they root. so the documents that a number of cases of elderly residents being tortured well being tightened, detained, excuse me, by his very soul, just or even shots. without justification of the observatory, highlighted that it received shocking testimonies about physical liquidations and
4:18 pm
filled executions against thousands of elderly people. over the age of 60, including direct shooting some soldiers after asking them to leave their homes. and in some cases, executions took place, moments after their release from detention hours or days later. when the report says that dozens of elderly palestinians have been executed by his very soul just now we have reached out to the idea for comments. um, we will get back to you if they reply to was your med says that at least a 1000 elderly men and women have been killed in gaza since the water up to the non sober most were apparently crushed under the rubble of buildings hit by strikes and tens of thousands of others believe to be a risk due to a lack of essential medical care. what would you need based? and g o also accused israel of using a hung up as a weapon of war. another report to by the n g of said, that's 800000 palestinians in northern garza, have no access to health care. 23 out of 35 hospitals in the enclave have been shut
4:19 pm
down. a night. facilities are just partially functioning. well, falls is operating with very limited services. oh, all right. was the last functioning hospital in the north of garza. and on tuesday, both of us on the world health organization. so the facility has completely went out to supplies and stuff them, but we're still tried to provide 1st aid the but at least eights injured people, including the elderly and young children, took refuge in medical officials, spoke about the situation in the hospital in the church, on the hospital grounds where we're seeing patients with severe orthopedic needs. plastics newly currently have no operating theatres are operating on the 5 doctors and 5 years their patients here who have been injured even more than a month. no surgery, their patients who have been operated on, but they are now getting close somewhere to infections because the hospital doesn't
4:20 pm
have sufficient antibiotics, w h o and this entries and submission with, you know, to new india assessing on mass has brought some medicines or medical supplies but it's just going to address some of the needs because they, they don't have sufficient stuff. and as you can see behind me, the patients are on the hospital cues are on the floor. they're suffering enormously here. this is a completely unacceptable situation. and also in the southern garza, near the border with egypt. road yes strikes. i have how much of the city of rough uh, local residents have been urgently searching through the results of find loved ones is really strikes have recently intensified over the southern parts of the ink life . so i think the densely populated cities of counties and rafa that's just about the idea of having previously ordered gaza residents to evacuate from the north to the south. local gentlest homes of childhood. he frequently reports, thoughts. he was in a call that was fits by these really strikes on southern gospel this week. i'd be
4:21 pm
no internet connection for a number of days. he's just now sense of this voltage of the incident. it's a good in the city of rough and the different bar. yeah, my friend who wants to come inside this for a southerly mazda of their sites and truly on thursday. but i just walked in the middle, one of my friends, the injured imagine this franklin hit someone's virus. what do you expect? the washington post to meanwhile has challenged allegations by the idea. that's how must, how to under gone to come on sunset at the hospital. the northern garza israel. how do you use the idea of claims to justify a tax on the medical facility? the evidence presented by the is really government falls short of showing that i'm off had been using the hospital as a command and control center according to
4:22 pm
a washington post analysis of open source visuals, satellite imagery, and all of the publicly released ideas, materials that raises critical questions, legal ends, humanitarian experts say about whether the civilian harm caused by israel's military operations against the hospital in circling besieging and ultimately reading the facility and the tunnel beneath that were proportionate to the assessed threat. the washington post conclusion was based on open source data, satellites, images, and publicly disclosed idea of files that was upon the no, i'm us presence in hospital rooms linked to the tunnels. none of the 5 also buildings identified by the idea of spokesperson were found to have a direct connection to the tunnels. and the underground network was also reportedly not accessible through the i'll see for hospital boards despite the audio claims. this is the cheapest rate. it, i'll save a hospital last month and stormed, emergency areas, intensive care units, on cardiology ward was
4:23 pm
a bit of damage and all sorts. he said to thousands of palestinians searching inside the facility because of, from both food and water. and hundreds of we did died unnecessarily due to a lack of access to occlusal health care. you and work is described, the situation is i'll see you as a blood back we spoke with, i mean, i believe there is a media expert specializing in debunking fake news. we said that israel is losing the media, was indeed this is a crucial issue we're discussing today. uh no, it's fine. but that wasn't the 1st time though. we seemed claims us obvious evidence and conflicts like this it's, it's crucial for everyone to approach such a reports with the critical eye and understand the big city of the document in all the zones. um, i believe a washington post sector. true. it's at washington post and many at western media outlets were supporting israel at the beginning of the caustic and october 7th. but
4:24 pm
now we can see the change off. uh i'll be in uh in uh, cnn, bbc and many other uh, media international. the western media outlet, this is because of the simple winning all the other part. if i send you an are we need the media or is that at this time i? this is what i can say. although they have a week tools, but they are winning because of social media. i believe a they are going to be like the heroes of the c at the end of the day. and finally, a full ahead of nigeria central bank has been accused of illegally transferred the equivalent of millions of dollars. it's also bank accounts, including in the us, u. k. and china on this one,
