8:01 pm
and the china the your watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow with a look at the top news stories from around the world. the un security council has adopted a resolution requiring israel and a mosse to allow deliveries of humanitarian aid into guys. a united states blocked proposed amendment for an immediate cease, fire rushes, ambassadors of the un says us pressure. it's stripped, important provisions from the final text of the resolution, a singular stuff, the which is little, some of those of luxury. some of 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 and gaz instead. washington playing dirty, sold a text, actually a license for israel to killed palestinian civilians and gaza under the pretext of, quote,
8:02 pm
creating conditions for association 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 principles 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. well, the 15 member body that leads the united nations finally approved
8:03 pm
a resolution regarding the situation in gaza. now for weeks, 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, worked tirelessly to alleviate this humanitarian crisis to get life saving assistance and to 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
8:04 pm
a sea of imaginable suffering. today this council called for urgent steps to immediately allows safe and hindered and expanded humanitarian 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 rise. 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
8:05 pm
humanitarian aid to go through. china spoke before the council and express some disappointment with the resolution. they ultimately voted in favor of that quote. for each each and we welcome the adoption of this draft resolution. there were quite a number of adjustments to the text and 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 and 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,
8:06 pm
and the blatant atrocities being committed. zion squarely forces this concept 1st 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 this trip. the concert is no meeting of the over 20000 palestinians have been killed. almost half of them children. no one should forget that what we are talking about. 2.3000000 palestinians who have been fighting for their life and facing death every single day for 75 days. this requires an immediate fuel monetary on seized by it. now, back by $153.00 states around the world, there is no way to stop the war crimes,
8:07 pm
crimes against humanity and genocide under way, 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 different voices around the world. the simply the singling out of 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 doing this almost threat at the very least it must prevent from us, is empowerment. a just as discounts that he's committed to increasing aid. it should also be committed to blocking the smuggling of onto the transport weapons to the how much terrorist. and just as his counselor is committed to ensuring aid reaches gauze and civilians should also be committed to ensuring the sit. a 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, well taking every step to prevent them from intrinsic themselves and regaining
8:08 pm
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 really 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 ministration 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. we discussed the resolution with dan cuz i like human and labor rights lawyer who says the u. n. s c doesn't specify how the aid it
8:09 pm
should flow in the gaza, or just in the agreement, it just empty words. the security council resolution, as it's written, and it was written by the us and the you a with, with the intention that it has no t, it's a nothing. it does say that, you know, humanitarian aid should be freely flowing into god's up. it doesn't say how that's going to happen. in fact, it says the u. n is not to be overseen that. so what's the mechanism for enforcing that there is not so it's just empty words. there's no ability under this resolution to ensure that israel will comply. and by the way, what does it even mean when israel is still denying the population water and electricity right now, the entire population of gaza is starving. all, all the world food agencies are say, and this will not change that because israel wants to star these people and this
8:10 pm
won't change that. the us shares, israel's goals in gaza in that is destroying the population of gaza and moving it into the sinai desert. there's a number of reasons the us shares this goal, one of which is uh, the massive amounts of natural gas found on the coast of gaza, which the us unusual covets. they also want to build this thing gearing canal. they want it for a long time. as an alternative to the suez canal, which would go right to guys. uh um. so they share the goals of israel in demolishing the the, the population of gossip. so they don't want to cease fire. they want this war to continue and they're helping a continue. the palestinian authorities say the death toll in gaza has surpassed
8:11 pm
20000. then there's no longer a functioning hospital in the north of the enclave. that's according to the world health organization. these distressing images show the conditions people are living under
8:12 pm

8:13 pm
it received shocking testimonies about physical liquidations and 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. the report says, dozens of elderly palestinians had been executed by is really soldiers. we have reached out to the idea for comments. you are a med says at least a 1000 elderly men and women have been killed and guys since the war began in october, most were crushed to death under the rubble of building sit by airstrikes, tens of thousands of others are believed to be at risk and due to lack of a central medical care to the geneva based and joe also he was as well of using hunger as a weapon of war. another report by the end joe said 800000 palestinians and northern guys i have no access to health care. 23 of the 35 hospitals in the
8:14 pm
enclave had been forced to shut down 9 facilities are partially functioning well for others. our operating was very limited services already was the last functioning hospital in northern gaza on tuesday the you and, and the world health organization said the facility had run out of supplies. tenant staff members were still trying to provide a 1st aid there. well, at least 80 injured people, including the elderly and young children, took refuge at the hospital. you and medical officials spoke about the situation to the hospital in the church on the hospital grounds where we're seeing patients with severe orthopedic needs. plastics newly currently have no operating their operating on the, on the 5 doctors and 5 missions on 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 have submission
8:15 pm
antibiotics, w h o and this entries and submission with, you know, to new india assessing on mouse 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 queues are on the floor. they're suffering enormously here. this is a completely unacceptable situation. also in southern gaza, near the border with egypt. ideas, the error strikes have hammered at the city of rasa. the local residents have been urgently searching it through the rubble to find any loved ones who might be trapped is really strikes have recently intensified over the southern part of the enclave. targeting the densely populated cities upon unison, rasa, as despite the idea of having previously ordered, does a residence to a banquet from the north of the reach of the region to the south journal. as times of shalanda who has been reporting for r t was in
8:16 pm
a car that was hit by an is really our strike on southern gaza this week. after having no internet connection for 2 days. he's just now sent us this footage from that incident that happened in the city of rossa near the egyptian border. the hill, my friend, he wants to see inside this floor, and suddenly, a huge at mazda walker . roughly the middle one just had the car on my front door injury. imagine this wrapped in his someone's virus. what do you expect? the washington post has challenged allegations by the idea of mos had an underground command center at a hospital northern gaza. isabel had used the idea of time to justify attacks on the medical facility. the evidence presented by the is really government falls
8:17 pm
short of showing that come off had been using the hospital as a command and control center. according to a washington post analysis of open source visuals, satellite imagery, and all of the publicly released ideas, materials that raises critical questions, legal in humanitarian experts say about whether the civilian harm caused by israel's military operations against the hospital, and circling besieging and ultimately rating the facility and the tunnel beneath that, we're pushing it to the assessed threat or the washington post conclusion was based on open source data satellite images and publicly disclosed id of files. there was apparently no homeless presence in hospital rooms linked to the tunnels. none of the 5 hospital buildings identified by the idea of spokes person were found to have a direct connection to the tunnels. and the underground network is also reported late, not accessible through the. i'll see if a hospital wards,
8:18 pm
despite idea of claims, was rarely troops rated. i'll see if a hospital last month and it stormed emergency areas, intensive care unit, and cardiology. ward were severely damaged. for 40 said thousands of palestinians sheltering inside the facility were cut off from food supplies and water, and hundreds of wounded died unnecessarily due to a lack of access to crucial health care services. you and workers describe the situation at all she for as a blood bath. we spoke with, i mean i'll be a, a, a media expert who specializes in the bunk and fake news, who says israel is losing the media war. and indeed, this is a crucial issue we're discussing today. uh no, it's fine that, 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 reports with the critical eye and
8:19 pm
understand the big city of the document in all the zones. um, i believe a washington post. it was set to true. it's at washington course, and many western media outlets were supporting israel at the beginning of the caustic and october 7th. but now we can see the change off. uh, i'll be in uh in uh see that cnn, bbc and many other uh, media international, the western media outlet. this is because of the simple winning all the other part that i send you in, 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, i believe a, they are going to of the like the heroes of the see, at the end of the day the you an estimate to more than 85 percent of the us
8:20 pm
population has been displaced. but us presidential candidate nikki haley says it's not israel, it's problem. they should go to her mos loving countries, a rec, cut or turkey. those 3 countries they can go to that. why should anybody else take them if that's the case? and so it is not israel's problem. it's not. america's problem is those countries like cutter and turkey and iran feel so deeply for the people of gaza. they should take the to washington has been steadfast and is support for israel since the complex broke out. the binding administration recently urge law makers to prove an additional $14000000000.00 in military aid to israel. and that's on top of washington deploying warships to the mediterranean sea. i'm sending fighter jets, missiles and munitions to israel. us special operations forces are also reportedly sharing intelligence. but the idea of israel is historically the largest beneficiary of us military aid,
8:21 pm
receiving about $3000000000.00 annually. always spoke to professor siad mohammed randy from the university of toronto. he says, statements direct in other countries to accept palestinian refugees are a sign of washington's ignorance and in humanity. in this, of course, she also mentioned iraq. and then the 2nd time around she mentioned she named ron. and i think it means that she doesn't know the difference between iran and iraq. and that i think is reflective of the general ignorance that exists in the united states about our region. not only is the united states and its leadership, supportive of genocide and gossip, and the mass killings that we're seeing in the west bank over the past 2 and a half months. over $300.00 palestinians have also been slaughtered in the west bank including children below the age of 10. so not only do they support that,
8:22 pm
but they are ignorant in their support of there's really regime and she is open the advocating as a cleansing. in other words, expel the native population from their homes and which has already been done once because the people have cause up are from the whole of palestine to 70 percent of the people in gaza come from other areas in palestine. they were kicked out of their homes, they were spelled from the land, their elders or their fathers in grandfathers and grandmothers were murdered. by this reason, they went the right, the right remaining population went to cause and these are the children of those refugee. so she wants them to be kicked out of their land for a 2nd time, and that just simply shows how in humane and barbaric the political establishment
8:23 pm

8:26 pm
it has been weakening the pregnancy. it has been beginning the economy as well. that will even cases the way he was the, to the financing terrorism was a billions of dollars to some secret accounts, allegedly supervised by him. and at that time as well expert. indeed that, that had this. um, do you by the way sion of the car would be that he created was right before the next is the to part to this. yeah. and that was not a coincidence mc unless served. and um, um, how many to harvey for a 2 year is that what was the nature of the biggest economy down to me? and he said he had no visits for the money to policy up. the country had risen to the top of his career as a young man to those who put him in position and they to know went into 2 recessions during his 10. yes. and it seems like a full president to approve and his allies, the law school that broke the camel's back was m c. m is decision to introduce the controversial comments to redesign policy that have put us in this conversation,
8:27 pm
guaranteed. and these news darkening findings and developments might just be the end of embassy and his time outside the us, britain and france are still colonial powers. at least that's according to the irish prime minister who made the admission during a phone call with russian pranksters both on and lexus. so you've got the right to say to day on friends and even america, how big colonial powers are going to be still are. but like my, well, my mother used to say to me is 2 wrongs don't make a rice. so just because of the british empire or the french on fire or a napoleon or hitler did things that were wrong, it doesn't make it ok for you to do things that are, are for us. and to do so, always spoke with several nigerians who told us western countries still have a colonial mindset when it comes to africa and it's resources. you said you have
8:28 pm

8:29 pm
france was expected to call for peaceful dialogue and help strengthen nature's democracy to cancel them on good governance. but france refused to do so. the ma, we spoke with a former south african parliament member who says russia's military offensive on ukraine is difference to what africa experienced during the colonial era. i, sheila, it's involving a defensive goal is to to toady. i'm an evaluation by the same width, which is kinda nice to balance. to con, claim that the defense of the, to the total integrity is the same as go to $96.00. those tensions totally different. the other 10 continental, or the history of continental, which was for you to get there by the preachers. they played should be great, because 3 to speak to glenn today in sleep. and they have not paid your patients by
8:30 pm
the way, for all these actual cities that they have committed and they've made showing day left. and they made sure that this is through all fix partition of the african continent continues. our goal is the 10 months content or that still goes to the west in virginia and west. and paul was updated very smart and the very steve, steve, jim, a crafty a lie all the time. they never tell the truth. so this message has been very productive. we really need tools. all right, just stay with us up next on going on. the ground actually latan sand. his guest to discuss america's real unemployment rate, which new york times best selling author gym record calls the person level unemployment bye for now.
